BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and in particular, a change operation is started by winning a ball in a specific winning portion, and a plurality of change displays for sequentially changing and displaying a symbol group including a plurality of symbols. The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine in which a variable winning portion in which a large number of balls can be expected to be won is opened when static display symbols, which are display results when the respective portions stop operating, match.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, pachinko halls, which are equipped with various types of pachinko game machines, are prospering, and pachinko has become popular as a popular entertainment.

Hereinafter, an example of a pachinko game machine of the type that is currently mainstream will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 18, 101 to 103 are change display sections, 105 is a specific winning section, and 104 is this specific winning section 1.
The number-of-wins display section for displaying the number of winnings for 05, 106 is a variable winning section, 107 is a firing dial, 108 is a guide rail, 109 is a game board, 110 is a saucer, and 111 is an out ball entrance.

When a player holds the firing dial 107 with his right hand and rotates it by a desired angle against the elastic force, the balls stored in the tray 110 are electrically driven by a ball launching device (not shown). Thus, one by one is continuously fired at a strength corresponding to the rotation angle. This ball 122 advances in the direction of arrow 121 along the guide rail 108, is discharged in the direction of arrow 123 at the top end of the guide rail 108, and is guided to the top of the game board 109.

On the game board 109, the change display section 1
01-103, prize winning number display section 104, specific winning section 10
5. In addition to the variable winning portion 106, although not shown, a plurality of obstacle nails are provided, and the pachinko hall side finely adjusts the inclination degree of these obstacle nails.
It is possible to change the ease of winning a ball in the specific winning portion 105.

The specific winning portion 105 and the variable winning portion 10
In addition to 6, other winning parts can be provided. In addition, in this specification, "winning prize" means the out ball entrance 1
This means that the balls 122 enter the winning part, which is a hole or opening on a predetermined game board other than 11, and a predetermined number (eg, 7) of balls are normally found on the game board 109 by this prize. Ball payment mechanism (not shown) provided on the back side
Is paid to the saucer 110. There may be two or more specific winning units 105. The variable winning portion 106 has a rectangular plate-like lid that can be opened to the front of the board with the lower side as the axis of the hinge. As will be described later, it opens only in special cases, and it is possible to win multiple balls at once. Becomes

In particular, when a ball is won in the specific winning portion 105, each of the change display portions 101 to 103 starts a changing operation, and a plurality of previously prepared (for example, 16 The individual symbols are sequentially changed and displayed (rotational display), the rotation operation of each symbol is stopped by the control of the internal processor, and each symbol is statically displayed. Here, "rotation" or "rotation display" means that in a slot machine, a plurality of patterns displayed around each of the three rows of the rotating bodies arranged in parallel are rotated, so that a plurality of patterns are displayed. This means that a state of cyclical display is simulated on the display screen.

When balls are won in the specific winning portion 105 while the change display portions 101 to 103 are rotating (that is, changing operation), it is possible to restart the rotation after stopping the rotation operation up to a predetermined number. Guarantee. In other words,
The right to re-spin is saved. In the illustrated example, the predetermined number is four, and the winning of up to four balls is displayed by the four lamps of the winning number display unit 104. It should be noted that when some lamps of the input number display unit 104 are lit, when all the rotation operations of the pictures in the three columns are stopped, one lamp is turned off. That is,
The number of savings is reduced by one.

When all the three static display symbols, which are the display results when the change display units 101 to 103 stop the rotation operation, match, the variable winning unit 106 opens,
It is possible to win a ball to the variable winning part 106. The variable winning portion 106 has a predetermined number (for example, 10
It is designed to be closed when there is a prize for each of the balls or when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed. The fact that the static display symbols of the change display portions 101 to 103 are the same is called "big hit", and the period until the variable winning portion 106 is opened and closed once is called "round".

In general, in this kind of pachinko game machine, a single big hit causes a plurality of times (for example, 16 times).
Many times) are prepared. Depending on the model, it is possible to advance to the next round only when a ball wins a specific part in the variable winning part 106 during one round. The change display units 101 to 103 display a predetermined display pattern during the round, display a result of counting the number of balls won in the variable winning unit 106, and the like.
It is designed to keep players from getting bored.

In general, in this type of pachinko game machine, the change display sections 101 to 103 are designed to stop their operations in sequence, and of course, the static display symbols of the two change display sections 101 and 102. Only when they match, there is a possibility that the static display symbols of the three change display units 101 to 103 will match, so the two change display units 1
When the static display symbols of 01 and 102 are the same, it is called "reach takes".

For example, three change display sections 101-103
Considering a case where each of the 16 symbols “A” to “P” is changed and displayed, when the reach is taken, the static display symbols of the two change display portions 101 and 102 are both “A” to
There are 16 ways when it is "P", and as a matter of course, when it is a big hit, three change display sections 101 to 1
There are 16 ways in which the still display symbols of 03 are all "A" to "P".

The change display units 101 to 103 are mainly realized by a liquid crystal display or a plasma display, but a mechanical drum such as a slot machine on which a static display pattern is drawn is rotated. As a result, the change display sections 101 to 10
3 can be realized.

In addition, normally, when the change display sections 101 to 103 are in operation, a sound effect is played from the pachinko game machine in order to raise the player's mood, and when the reach is applied, it is usually performed. A sound effect different from the time sound effect is played, increasing the expectation of the player, and when a big hit is made, another sound effect is played and the player's pleasure is increased. It is like this.

On the other hand, balls that have not won any of the winning parts enter the out-ball entrance 111 and are collected on the pachinko hall side.

In the example of the pachinko game machine described above, an example in which a big hit occurs when all the static display symbols of the change display portions 101 to 103 are the same has been described. On the contrary, the specific winning portion When a ball is won in 105, it is determined by the control of the internal processor whether or not it is a big hit, and in accordance with the determination, the static display symbols of the change display portions 101 to 103 are determined. There is also.

That is, the internal processor stores a combination of symbols that are a big hit and a combination of symbols that is not a big hit in the internal memory, and when it is determined that a big hit is made, a combination of symbols that is a big hit is further generated. The change display units 101 to 103 are controlled so that the static display symbols of the change display units 101 to 103 are a combination of the symbols that are the big hits. Further, when it is determined not to be a big hit, a combination of symbols that do not become a big hit is further determined, and the change display unit 101 to so that the static display symbols of the change display units 101 to 103 become a combination of symbols that do not become the big hit. Control 103.

Even if it is determined that the big hit is not reached, the reach may be applied in some cases.

For example, three change display sections 101-103
Considering the case where 16 symbols "A" to "P" are changed and displayed, the combination of symbols that is a big hit is "A,
There are 16 ways of "A, A" to "P, P, P", and the combination of symbols that does not become a big hit is from the number of 16 combinations of symbols of "A" to "P" (16 x 16 x 16) 16
For a few minutes, i.e., 4080 ways.

Even in such a pachinko game machine,
From the player's point of view, there is no change in that a big hit is given when all the static display symbols of the change display parts 101 to 103 match.

[0022]

In a pachinko hall, a player receives at the start of the game a number of balls corresponding to the cash paid by the player, and at the end of the game, a player determines the number of balls remaining at hand. As players can receive prizes, how to get a lot of balls for the player, that is, how to get a lot of balls in the specific winning part and win big The point of the game is to raise it.

Conventionally, in order to win a ball to the specific winning part, the player himself or herself selects a pachinko game machine by observing the adjustment of the obstacle nail and adjusts the rotation angle of the firing dial. There was a way to do it, but there was nothing the player could do to make it a big hit.

That is, since the control for stopping the operation of the change display unit is performed by the internal processor, the player can know the number of times of a big hit and the static display symbol when a big hit has been hit in the past. No, there was no material to choose a pachinko game machine other than the obstacle nail as a guide.

Further, conventionally, since it is determined that a big hit when the static display symbols of the change display portion match,
The player, for example, when the static display symbols of the two change display portions are matched and reach is reached, the static display symbol of the third change display portion is further matched with the matched static display symbol. I just waited.

That is, the player could expect only one big hit for one reach.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a material for a player to select a pachinko game machine by displaying the number of times of a big hit (hereinafter referred to as the number of big hits). To do so.

A second object of the present invention is to display the number of big hits and the symbols selected in association with the big hits, and in addition to the case where the static display symbols of the change display section are all the same,
Even when the static display symbols of the change display portions other than the specific one change display portion match each other, and the static display symbol of the specific one change display portion matches the symbol selected in association with the jackpot. , Is to increase the expectation of the player by making a big hit.

[0029]

In order to achieve the above first object, the present invention is designed to display the number of jackpots.

That is, the present invention provides a pachinko game machine with (1) at least one specific winning part in which a ball can be won, and a plurality of symbols prepared in advance when a ball wins the specific winning part. , And at least three change display portions that sequentially change and stop the change operation, and that can be opened in association with the operation of the at least three change display portions, and a ball can be won at the time of opening. A game board with a normally closed variable winning part.

(2) A control unit that opens the variable winning unit, with a big hit when all the static display symbols, which are the display results when the at least three change display units stop operating, match.

The control section further has a counting section for counting the number of big hits (the number of big hits), and the game board displays the number of big hits counted by the counting section. It has a jackpot count display section.

As a result, the player can select the pachinko game machine by looking at the number of big hits displayed on the big hit number display section.

In order to achieve the above second object,
The present invention displays the number of jackpots and the corresponding symbols, and in addition to the case where the static display symbols of the change display unit match, the static display symbols of the change display units other than the specific one change display unit are In addition, even when the static display symbol of the specific one change display unit matches the symbol selected in association with the jackpot, the jackpot is set to be a jackpot.

That is, according to the present invention, in addition to the above configuration,
When the game board is further provided with a symbol display unit that displays a symbol corresponding to the number of jackpots out of a plurality of symbols prepared in advance, and the control unit further matches the static display symbol on the change display unit. In addition, the static display symbols of the change display units other than the specific one change display unit of the change display unit match, and the static display symbol of the specific one change display unit is the above-mentioned symbol display unit. Even when the displayed pattern is matched, the variable winning portion is opened.

Specifically, the control unit includes a stop unit for stopping the operation of the change display unit, a first detection unit for detecting that the static display symbols of the change display unit match, and a change display unit. It is detected that the static display symbols of the change display unit other than the specific one match each other, and that the static display symbol of the specific one change display unit matches the symbol displayed by the pattern display unit. The second detection unit, an opening unit that opens the variable winning unit based on either the detection result of the first detection unit or the detection result of the second detection unit, and the opening unit that opens the variable winning unit. After that, when a predetermined number of balls enter the variable winning part or when a predetermined time elapses, a closing part for closing the variable winning part can be provided.

As a result, the player can expect two kinds of big hits for one reach, and it is possible to increase the player's expectation.

Further, the present invention provides a pachinko game machine with (1) at least one specific winning part in which a ball can be won, and a plurality of symbols prepared in advance when a ball wins the specific winning part. , And at least three change display portions that sequentially change and stop the change operation, and that can be opened in association with the operation of the at least three change display portions, and a ball can be won at the time of opening. A game board with a normally closed variable winning part.

(2) A control section for opening the variable winning section, with a big hit when all the static display symbols which are the display results when the operation of the at least three change display sections are stopped match.

The control section is provided with a big hit that stores at least the previous big hit symbol of the still display symbols (big hit symbols) when all the static display symbols of the at least three change display elements match each other. It has a symbol storage unit, the game board can also have a jackpot symbol display unit for displaying the jackpot symbols stored in the jackpot symbol storage unit.

Thereby, the player can look at the big hit symbol displayed on the big hit symbol display portion and judge what static display symbol coincides with the big hit symbol at least once in the past. .

Further, in the case of such a configuration, in addition to the case where the static display symbols of the change display unit match, in addition to the specific one of at least three change display units Even when the static display symbols of the change display unit of the two match each other and the static display symbol of the one specific change display unit matches the big hit symbol displayed by the big hit symbol display unit, the variable winning portion is opened. Can be allowed to.

As a result, the player can expect at least two types of big hits for one reach,
It is possible to increase the expectation of the player.

[0044]

According to the present invention, the player can select a pachinko game machine based on the number of big hits displayed by the big hit number display section.

For example, the player may judge that if the number of big hits is small, it will be a big hit, or if the number of big hits is large, it will be easy to hit the big hits.

Further, for example, the three change display portions are "A".
Considering the case of changing and displaying 16 symbols of "P", conventionally, in the case of a big hit, 16 when the static display symbols of the three change display portions are all "A" to "P" It was on the street. That is, when the static display symbols of the two change display portions match, reach is reached, and when the static display symbol of the third change display portion further matches the matched static display symbol, it is a big hit.

However, according to the present invention, in addition to the case where the static display design of the third change display unit matches the matched static display design, the static display design of the third change display unit is the design. Even if the design displayed by the display unit, that is, the design corresponding to the number of big hits, matches, the big hit is made.

As described above, conventionally, only one kind of big hit can be expected for one reach when the static display pattern of the third change display unit is the matched static display pattern. , It is possible to expect a total of two types of jackpots that are added even when they match the symbols displayed by the symbol display portion, so that the player's expectation can be increased.

The static display symbol of is the symbol displayed in the corresponding symbol display portion 113, that is, two cases, that is, the case where it becomes "E" is a big hit.

Next, a control unit for realizing the operation of this embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

The control unit is provided inside the pachinko game machine and performs control for realizing the operation of the present embodiment described above.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the control unit 400.

In FIG. 4, 401 to 403 are change display unit control devices, 404 is a specific winning part control device, 405 is a winning number display device control device, 406 is a variable winning part control device,
407 is a big hit count display unit control device, 408 is a corresponding symbol display unit control device, 409 is a microprocessor, 410
Is a storage device.

The change display section control devices 401 to 403 start and stop the change operation of the change display sections 101 to 103 under the control of the microprocessor 409, respectively. In addition, the change display control devices 401 to 40
3 outputs a static display symbol code indicating a static display symbol when the change operation of the change display units 101 to 103 is stopped to the microprocessor 409, respectively.

The specific winning part control device 404 adds "1" to the count value of the internal specific winning counter each time it detects that one ball has won in the specific winning part 105. The specific winning counter is a counter capable of counting from “0” to “3”, and the count value is output to the winning number display control device 405. However, when the count value is "3", the count value remains "3" even if a count-up instruction is issued.

Based on the count value output from the specific winning part control device 404, the winning number display control device 405 displays the number of balls won in the specific winning part 105 up to four on the winning number display part 104. It is for doing.
This can be realized by turning on the lamps corresponding to the count value out of the four lamps prepared in advance.

The variable winning portion control device 406 opens or closes the variable winning portion 106 under the control of the microprocessor 409. Further, the variable winning part control device 406 notifies the microprocessor 409 each time it detects that one ball has won in the variable winning part 106 while the variable winning part 106 is open.

The big hit count display unit controller 407 displays the big hit count on the big hit count display unit 112 under the control of the microprocessor 409.

The corresponding symbol display control unit 408 displays the symbol corresponding to the number of big hits on the corresponding symbol display 113 under the control of the microprocessor 409.

The microprocessor 409 is the storage device 4
The operation of the present embodiment is realized by reading and executing the program stored in 10.

The storage device 410 is the microprocessor 4
In addition to storing the program executed by 09, various data as shown in FIG. 5 are also stored.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing various data stored in the storage device 410.

In FIG. 5, 501 and 502 are static display symbol storage areas for storing static display symbol codes indicating the static display symbols of the change display sections 101 and 102, respectively.
503 is a big hit number counter for counting the number of big hits, and 504 is a variable prize counter for counting the number of balls that have won the variable prize unit 106 up to 10.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the operation flow of the specific winning portion control device 404 and the winning number display portion control device 405.

The specific winning part control device 404 detects each time the specific winning part 105 wins a ball (step 6).
01), the count value of the specific winning counter provided inside is incremented by "1" (step 602). However, as described above, when the count value is "3", the count-up is not further performed. The count value of the specific winning counter is output to the winning number display unit control device 405, and the winning number display unit control device 405 lights up the lamps corresponding to the count value of the four prepared lamps. (Step 603). The operation shown in FIG. 6 is always performed regardless of the operation of the microprocessor 409 described below.

7 and 8 show a microprocessor 40.
9 is a flowchart showing a flow of operation of No. 9.

FIG. 7 shows the symbol display process, and FIG. 8 shows the big hit process. The symbol display process is activated when the power is turned on or the firing dial 107 is rotated.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the symbol display processing, first, the microprocessor 409 determines the count value of the specific winning counter in the specific winning portion control device 404, and if the count value is not "0". (Step 70
1), an operation start signal for starting the operation of the change display units 101 to 103 is respectively supplied to the change display unit control device 40.
1 to 403 (step 702), the count value of the specific winning counter is decremented by "1" (step 703).

As a result, the change display control device 401 to
403 starts the operation of the change display units 101 to 103.

Subsequently, the microprocessor 409 outputs an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the change display section 101 to the change display section control device 401 when a predetermined time or a time obtained by random number calculation has elapsed. (Step 704).

As a result, the change display section control device 401
Causes the change display unit 101 to stop operating, and the change display unit 1
The static display symbol code indicating the static display symbol 01 is output to the microprocessor 409.

Therefore, the microprocessor 409 stores the static display symbol code output from the change display unit controller 401 as the static display symbol storage area 501 of the storage device 410.
(Step 705).

Similarly, the microprocessor 409 sends an operation stop signal for stopping the changing operation of the change display section 102 to the change display section control device 402 when a predetermined time or a time obtained by random number calculation elapses. Output (step 706), the static display symbol code output from the change display unit control device 402 is stored in the static display symbol storage area 502 of the storage device 410 (step 70).
7).

Subsequently, the microprocessor 409 determines whether or not the static display symbol codes stored in the static display symbol storage areas 501 and 502 match (step 708).

If they match, it is determined that the reach has been reached, and the routine proceeds to step 711. If they do not match, it is determined that the reach has not taken place, and when the predetermined time or the time calculated by the random number elapses, the operation stop of the change display unit 103 is stopped. While outputting the signal to the change display unit control device 403 (step 709), the static display symbol code stored in the static display symbol storage areas 501 and 502 is deleted (step 710), and the process returns to step 701.

Now, in step 711, the microprocessor 409 determines whether the change display unit 10 has elapsed when a predetermined time or a time calculated by random number calculation has elapsed.
An operation stop signal for stopping the operation of 3 is output to the change display unit control device 403, and is stored in the still display symbol code and the still display symbol storage areas 501 and 502 output from the change display unit control device 403. It is determined whether or not the static display symbol code matches (step 712).

When both match, the big hit process shown in FIG. 8 is started (step 713), the big hit process is waited for, and the process returns to step 701. Further, when the two do not match, a symbol code indicating a symbol corresponding to the count value of the big hit number counter 503 is obtained (step 714), and the static display symbol code output from the change display unit control device 403. It is determined whether or not the obtained symbol code matches (step 715).

When both match, the big hit process shown in FIG. 8 is started (step 713), the big hit process is waited for, and the process returns to step 701. When the count value of the big hit number counter 503 is “0”, the microprocessor 409 cannot determine the symbol code indicating the corresponding symbol, and therefore determines that they do not match. If the two do not match, the static display symbol code stored in the static display symbol storage areas 501 and 502 is deleted (step 716), and step 701.
Return to.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, in the big hit process, the microprocessor 409 first outputs an opening signal for opening the variable winning part 106 to the variable winning part controller 406 (step 801).

As a result, the variable winning portion control device 406
Opens the variable prize unit 106, so the variable prize unit 1
It is possible to win many balls in 06. Each time the variable winning unit control device 406 detects that a ball has won in the variable winning unit 106 while the variable winning unit 106 is open, it outputs a winning detection signal indicating that fact to the microprocessor 409.

When the predetermined winning time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses (step 802), the microprocessor 409 outputs a winning detection signal from the variable winning portion control device 406 (step 803), and then changes. The count value of the winning counter 504 is incremented by "1" (step 80)
4).

As a result of adding "1" to the count value of the variable prize counter 504, if the count value of the variable prize counter 504 has not reached "10" (step 80)
5) Return to step 802, and if “10” is reached, proceed to step 806 even if the predetermined time has not elapsed. Further, regardless of the count value of the variable winning counter 504, when 30 seconds have passed (step 80
2), go to step 806.

In step 806, the microprocessor 409 outputs a closing signal for closing the variable winning part 106 to the variable winning part controller 406.

As a result, the variable winning portion control device 406
Closes the variable winning part 106, the variable winning part 1
It is impossible to win a ball to 06.

Subsequently, the microprocessor 409 resets the value of the variable prize counter 504 (step 807) and deletes the static display symbol code stored in the static display symbol storage areas 501 and 502 (step 808). .

Finally, the microprocessor 409 adds "1" to the count value of the big hit number counter 503 (step 809), and outputs the added count value to the big hit number display control unit 407 (step 809). 810), a symbol code indicating a symbol corresponding to the count value of the added result is obtained (step 811), and the obtained symbol code is output to the corresponding symbol display control unit 408 (step 812). As a result, the big hit count display unit control device 407 displays the count value of the big hit count counter 503, that is, the big hit count, to the big hit count display unit 112.
The corresponding symbol display unit control device 408 displays the symbol indicated by the symbol code output from the microprocessor 409, that is, the symbol corresponding to the number of big hits, on the corresponding symbol display unit 113.

When a plurality of rounds (for example, 16 times) are prepared for one big hit, steps 801 to 807 in FIG. 8 may be repeated by the number of rounds. .

The specific winning portion 105 and the variable winning portion 10
In order to pay the balls that have won the prize of 6, a ball paying mechanism is provided, and the specific winning part control device 404 sends a winning detection signal indicating that the ball has won the specific winning part 105 to the ball paying mechanism. The variable winning part control device 406 outputs a winning detection signal to the ball paying mechanism. Then, the ball paying mechanism, when the winning detection signal is output from the specific winning part control device 404, pays seven balls to the saucer 110, and when the variable winning part control device 406 outputs the winning detection signal. , Pay 15 balls to the saucer 110. The ball paying mechanism, for example, in order to supply the balls from the pachinko hall side to the respective pachinko game machines, shuts off the supply path in which the balls are lined up one by one at a normal time, and the microprocessor 40
This can be realized by opening the supply path and supplying the instructed number of balls when the control signal is output from 9.

In order to play the sound effect, a sound effect output mechanism for outputting the sound effect during the normal time, the sound effect during the reach, and the sound effect during the big hit is provided, and the sound effect output from the specific winning part control device 404. The winning detection signal is output to the mechanism, and the variable winning portion control device 406 outputs the winning detection signal to the sound effect output mechanism. In addition, when the microprocessor 409 determines that the reach is applied and when the jackpot is determined to be a big hit, the microprocessor 409 outputs a control signal for notifying the sound effect output mechanism to that effect. To do. And, the sound effect output mechanism, the specific winning portion control device 4
When the winning detection signal is output from 04, the sound effect at the normal time is output, and when the control signal indicating that the reach is applied is output from the microprocessor 409, the sound effect at the reach is output. In addition, when the control signal indicating that the big hit has been output from the microprocessor 409, the sound effect at the time of the big hit is output.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, conventionally, the only judgment factor for selecting the pachinko game machine is observing the adjustment degree of the obstacle nail. Since it is possible to judge the number of jackpots displayed on the screen, it becomes easier for the player to select a pachinko game machine.

According to the present embodiment, conventionally, for one reach, only one big hit can be expected when the static display pattern of the change display unit 103 is the static display pattern corresponding to the reach. However, since it is possible to expect two kinds of big hits, which are added even in the case of a pattern corresponding to the number of big hits, the player increases the expectation of a big hit.

In the present embodiment, the change display unit 1
Although 01-103 showed the example which changes and displays "A"-"P", it is not restricted to this, You may make it change and display various designs, such as a picture and a symbol.

In the example of the pachinko game machine described above, an example in which it is determined whether or not a big hit is determined based on the static display symbols of the change display sections 101 to 103 has been described. When a ball is won in the specific winning portion 105, the microprocessor 409 determines whether or not to be a big hit, and the change display portions 101 to 1 according to the determination.
You may make it determine the still display symbol 03.

Such an embodiment will be described below.

The front view of the pachinko game machine in this embodiment, the big hit count display section 112 and the corresponding symbol display section 11
The diagram showing the display example of FIG. 3 and the diagram showing the stationary display symbol in the case of a big hit are the same as FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG.

The block diagram of the control unit in this embodiment is the same as that in FIG. However, the change display unit control device 4
01 to 403 start the operation of the change display units 101 to 103 under the control of the microprocessor 409, and display the symbol indicated by the symbol code output from the microprocessor 409 to stop the operation, so that the change display unit 10
The difference is that each of 1 to 103 is controlled.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing various data stored in the storage device 410.

In FIG. 9, reference numeral 503 is a big hit counter for counting the number of big hits, 504 is a variable prize counter for counting the number of balls which have been won in the variable prize unit 106 up to 10, and 901 is a stationary big hit. A big hit table that stores display symbols (hereinafter, referred to as big hit symbols), and 902 is a loss table that stores still display symbols that do not result in big hits (hereinafter, referred to as "defeat symbols").

The big hit table 901 shows "A, A,
Sixteen big hit symbols “A” to “P, P, P” are stored. In addition, the outlier table 902 displays “A, A,
"B" ~ "A, A, P", "B, B, A" ~ "B, B,
“P”, ... “P, O, P”, such as “A” to “P”
Number of 16 symbol combinations (16 x 16 x 16)
The number of symbols obtained by subtracting 16 from 16 is stored, that is, 4080 outlier patterns are stored.

Specific winning part control device 40 in the present embodiment
4 and the flow chart showing the operation flow of the winning number display control device 405 is the same as FIG.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the symbol display processing.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the symbol display processing, the microprocessor 409 first determines the count value of the specific winning counter in the specific winning portion control device 404, and if the count value is not "0". (Step 10
01), it is determined whether or not a big hit (step 10)
02).

Here, an example of a process for determining whether or not a big hit will be described.

The microprocessor 409 is, for example,
A random number X having a range of “0” to “234” is obtained by random number calculation, and when the value of the obtained random number X reaches a predetermined number (for example, “0”), it is determined to be a big hit,
If any one of "1" to "234",
Decide not to be a jackpot. The range of the random number X is related to the probability of a big hit, and in this example, the probability of a big hit is 1/235.

Now, when the microprocessor 409 determines that a big hit will occur, it further determines a big hit symbol (step 1003).

Here, an example of processing for determining a big hit symbol will be described.

The microprocessor 409 selects "0"-
A random number Y having a range of “15” is obtained by random number calculation, and a big hit symbol is determined according to the obtained value of the random number Y. That is, when the value of the random number Y is "0", the big hit symbol is determined to be "A, A, A", and when the value of the random number Y is "1", the big hit symbol is " B, B, B ”, and when the value of the random number Y is“ 15 ”, it is determined that the big hit symbol is“ P, P, P ”.

After determining the big hit symbol, the microprocessor 409 next changes the display control units 401, 40.
The symbol code indicating the first symbol of the big hit symbol and the symbol code indicating the second symbol are respectively output to 2 (step 1004, step 1005). For example, "F, F,
When it is determined that "F" is a big hit symbol, "F" is output to each of the change display control devices 401 and 402.
Accordingly, the change display unit control devices 401 and 402 control the change display units 101 and 102 to display “F” and stop the operation, respectively.
Both the static display symbols of 102 become "F", and reach is applied.

Subsequently, the microprocessor 409 outputs a code (here, "F") indicating the third symbol of the big hit symbol to the change display unit controller 403 (step 1006). Accordingly, the change display unit control device 403
The change display unit 103 controls to display “F” and stop the change operation, so that the static display symbols of the change display units 101 to 103 are all “F”, which is a big hit.

Subsequently, the microprocessor 409 activates the big hit process shown in FIG. 8 (step 1007), waits for the end of the big hit process, and returns to step 1001.

On the other hand, when the microprocessor 409 determines that it is not a big hit, it further determines a deviating symbol (step 1008).

Here, an example of the process for determining the outlier pattern will be described.

The microprocessor 409 selects "0"-
A random number Z having a range of “4079” is obtained by random number calculation, and a deviating symbol is determined according to the obtained value of the random number Z.
That is, when the value of the random number Z is "0", it is determined that the off symbol is "A, A, B", and when the value of the random number Z is "1", the off symbol is " A, A, C ”is determined, and when the value of the random number Z is“ 4079 ”, it is determined that the deviating symbol is“ P, O, P ”.

When the microprocessor 409 determines the outlying pattern, it next changes the display control devices 401, 40.
In 2, the symbol code indicating the first symbol of the shifted symbol and the symbol code indicating the second symbol are respectively output (step 1009, step 1010).

It should be noted that even if it is decided that a big hit is not reached, the reach may be applied. That is, the outlying pattern is "A, A,
"B" ~ "A, A, P", "B, B, A" ~ "B, B,
If it is determined to be any of 240 from "P", ..., "P, P, A" to "P, P, O", reach is applied.

Therefore, the microprocessor 409 determines that the falling symbol is one of the above 240 pieces, that is, the first symbol and the second symbol are the deviating symbols but are mutually different. When the disagreeing symbols that match each other are determined (step 1011), it is determined that the reach is applied, and the change display unit control device 403 outputs the symbol code indicating the third symbol of the dislocation symbols. (Step 1012), jackpot counter 503
The symbol corresponding to the count value of is obtained (step 101
3), it is determined whether or not the third symbol of the outlier symbol matches the obtained symbol (step 1014).

If the two match, in the present embodiment, even if it is determined in step 1002 that the big hit will not occur, it is regarded as a big hit, and the big hit process shown in FIG. 8 is started (step 1015) to execute the big hit process. Wait for the end and return to step 1001. That is, for example, when it is determined that the outlier symbol is “F, F, E”,
If the static display symbols of the change displays 101 and 102 are both “F” and reach is applied, and the symbol corresponding to the count value of the big hit number counter 503 is “E”, it is considered as a big hit. If they do not match, the process returns to step 1001.

In the judgment of step 1011, if it is determined that the deviating symbols are other than the above 240, that is, if the deviating symbols in which the first symbol and the second symbol do not match are determined, , It is determined that the reach is not applied, and the change display unit control device 403 outputs the symbol code indicating the third symbol of the shift symbol (step 10).
16) and returns to step 1001.

The processing flow chart of the big hit process is the same as that of FIG. 8, but the process of step 808 is not performed.

Even in such a pachinko game machine,
For the player, if all the static display symbols of the change display units 101 to 103 match, or the change display unit 10
When the static display symbols of 1, 102 match, and the static display symbol of the change display unit 103 matches the symbol displayed on the corresponding symbol display unit 113, there is still a big hit.

In addition, instead of the symbol associated with the number of big hits, an embodiment in which a still display symbol when the big hit last time is displayed can be considered.

Hereinafter, such an embodiment will be described.
