2. Description of the Related Art Currently, amusement halls in which various types of gaming machines are set are prosperous.

A conventional gaming machine will be described below by taking a pachinko gaming machine as an example.

In general, a pachinko game machine is composed of a game board which constitutes a space for moving a pachinko ball which is a game medium, a glass plate which covers the game board at a constant interval, and a game board and a glass plate. It has a launching mechanism for launching pachinko balls in a partitioned space, and the game board is installed so as to be substantially parallel to the vertical direction.

[0005] On the game board, a plurality of winning parts, which will win when a pachinko ball enters the gaming board and is ejected from the gaming board, and finally a set of pachinko balls that have not entered the winning board, are collected from the gaming board. There is provided one out-ball discharging portion for discharging. It should be noted that when a pachinko ball is won in the winning part, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid to the player.

Further, on the game board, a large number of obstacle nails have a length corresponding to the diameter of the pachinko ball so that the pachinko balls falling along the game board frequently collide with each other to cause fluctuations in the movement direction. Minutes, it is arranged substantially vertically while protruding from the game board. These obstacle nails guide the colliding pachinko ball toward the winning part in some cases, and in some cases, move it away from the winning part, while giving fluctuations in the direction of its movement. Are arranged as follows. Therefore, the amusement hall side can change the ease of winning a pachinko ball to the winning portion by finely adjusting the inclination of these obstacle nails.

[0007] Furthermore, the game board starts an operation upon the winning of a pachinko ball to a specific winning part of the winning part, that is, the specific winning part, and the operation is started at a plurality of predetermined display positions. Display a plurality of types of symbols prepared so that the types of symbols displayed at each of the plurality of display positions will change dynamically, and after a predetermined time has passed, the dynamic display state is canceled. When the symbol display unit that stops the operation and the symbol display unit stop operating, when the combination of the symbols displayed in each of the plurality of display positions is a predetermined specific combination, the pachinko ball There is provided a variable winning section that changes to a winning possible state in which a prize can be won.

The specific combination determined in advance is called a "big hit combination". Further, the symbols displayed at each of the plurality of display positions when the symbol display unit stops operating are referred to as "display symbols". Also, the combination of the display symbols becomes a big hit combination, and the variable winning part is in a winning possible state is called "big hit".

The variable winning portion has a lid, which is normally closed so as to be integrated with the game board. When the combination of display symbols is a big hit combination, the lid is closed. It is open to secure a space for pachinko balls. The variable winning portion closes the lid when a predetermined number of pachinko balls are won or when a predetermined time elapses.

The start and stop of the operation of the symbol display section is controlled by the internal processor. That is, the processor outputs an operation stop instruction when a predetermined time has elapsed after outputting the operation start instruction of the symbol display unit.

Consider, for example, a case where the symbol display section displays 16 types of symbols "A" to "P" dynamically at each of the three display positions. The jackpot combination is 16 combinations in which all the display symbols match, that is,
The big hit is 16 when all three display symbols are “A”, “B”, ..., “P”
On the street.

When a pachinko ball is won in the specific winning section, the symbol display section displays 16 types of symbols dynamically in each of the three display positions under the control of the internal processor, and , The dynamic display state of each of the three display positions is sequentially released by the control of the internal processor, and the operation is stopped. When the dynamic display state of the two display positions is released, if the display symbols of the two display positions match, the display symbols of the three display positions may all match, It takes reach. " When reach is reached, the dynamic display state of the third display position is canceled, and when the display symbols of the three display positions all match, it is a big hit, and the variable winning portion changes to the winning possible state.

[0013] Normally, during the operation of the symbol display portion, a sound effect is made to flow in order to raise the mood of the player, and in the case of a reach, in order to increase the player's expectation. In order to increase the player's joy in the case of a big hit, a different sound effect from the normal sound effect and the sound effect during the reach is set so that the sound effect different from the normal sound effect is played. You can turn on the sound.

As a conventional example relating to this, Japanese Patent Publication No.
-21511, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-5102, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-29350.

The above-mentioned conventional example is a method of making a big hit when the combination of the display symbols of the symbol display unit matches the big hit combination, and determines whether or not it is a big hit based on the display symbol of the symbol display unit. It is supposed to do.

On the other hand, recently, when a pachinko ball is won in a specific winning part, whether or not a big hit is first determined by the control of an internal processor, and subsequently, a plurality of display positions are selected. A method is also adopted in which the design displayed as the design is determined.

Specifically, when a pachinko ball is won in the specific winning part, the processor first determines whether or not to be a big hit, and when it is determined to be a big hit, an arbitrary combination from the big hit combinations. When it is determined that a big hit does not occur, any one of the combinations other than the big hit combination is decided. continue,
The symbol display unit is controlled so that the combination of the display symbols at the plurality of display positions becomes the determined combination.

In this way, even in the method in which it is already determined whether or not a big hit is awarded when a pachinko ball is won in the specific winning part, the player can combine the display symbols of a plurality of display positions with the big hit. If it is, it will be a big hit.

[0019]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] At the game arcade, the player receives the pachinko balls corresponding to cash at the start of the game and receives the prize according to the number of the pachinko balls remaining at the end of the game. Since it is possible to
For the player, in order to obtain a large number of pachinko balls, that is, in order to make a big hit, the purpose of the game is to make the specific winning section win the pachinko balls and operate the symbol display section.

In addition, in the amusement hall, the inclination degree of the obstacle nails arranged on the game boards of the respective pachinko game machines installed is finely adjusted to facilitate the winning of the pachinko balls to the specific winning portion. Since it is made different for each pachinko gaming machine, it is general that the player wants to select a pachinko gaming machine in which a pachinko ball easily wins a specific winning portion as a game object. However, conventionally, as a judgment material for selecting a pachinko gaming machine in which a pachinko ball is easy to win to the specific winning part as a game object, there is no choice but to observe the adjustment condition of the obstacle nail, so anyone can easily judge I couldn't.

Further, if the player can know the number of times a big hit or reach occurs for each pachinko gaming machine, the material for selecting the pachinko gaming machine to be played increases, but conventionally, The player has no way of knowing these numbers.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to provide materials for selecting a game machine to be played. Specifically, this is to display at least one of the number of times of a big hit and the number of times the symbol display unit has operated, and further to display the number of times of reach.

(4) When the symbol display unit stops operating, it is determined whether or not the combination of symbols displayed at each of the plurality of display positions at that time point is a predetermined specific combination Judgment part of 1. (5) A variable winning unit that changes to a state in which a game medium can be won when the first determining unit determines that the combination is the specific combination. (6) The number of times the symbol display section has operated and the number of times the variable winning section has changed to the winning-possible state (the number of times of a big hit) in a time from a predetermined past time point to the present time point. A frequency counting unit that counts and outputs at least one of them. (7) A number display section that displays the number of times output by the number counting section. It has a configuration with.

It is to be noted that, for each of the plurality of display positions, the symbol display section sequentially releases the dynamic display state in which the type of symbol displayed at the display position is dynamically changing. Can be stopped, in this case, for each of the display positions except one of the plurality of display positions, when the symbol display unit released the dynamic display state, Whether or not the combination of symbols displayed at each of those display positions at that time may become the above specific combination due to the fact that the dynamic display state of the remaining one display position has been canceled. It is possible to further include a second determination unit for determining. Therefore, the number-of-times counting unit may be configured to further count the number of times (the number of times of reach) that the second determination unit has determined that the specific combination may occur.

Further, the gaming machine of the present invention is (1) a plurality of types of symbols prepared in advance at a plurality of predetermined display positions, and the types of symbols displayed at each of the plurality of display positions. A symbol display part that displays so that it changes dynamically. (2) At least one specific winning part in which game media can be won.

(4) A jackpot determining unit that determines whether or not the variable winning unit should be changed to a winning possible state when a game medium is won in the specific winning unit. (5) A combination selection unit that selects one of all combinations of a plurality of types of symbols prepared in advance, based on the determination content of the jackpot determination unit. (6) When a game medium is won in the specific winning section, the operation of the symbol display section is started, and the combination of symbols displayed in each of the plurality of display positions is the combination selected by the combination selecting section. As described above, the symbol display control unit that stops the operation of the symbol display unit. When the jackpot determination unit determines that the variable winning unit should be changed to the winning possible state, the variable winning unit changes to the winning possible state after the symbol display unit stops operating. In addition, (7) the number of times the symbol display section has operated and the number of times the variable winning section has changed to the winning-possible state (big hit and The number of times counting unit that counts and outputs at least one of (8) A number-of-times display unit that displays the number of times output by the number-of-times counting unit. It has a configuration with.

More specifically, the combination selection unit selects all combinations of a plurality of types of symbols prepared in advance when the jackpot determination unit determines that the variable winning unit should be changed to the winning possible state. If a predetermined combination of them is selected and the jackpot determination unit determines that the variable winning unit should not be changed to the winning possible state, all combinations of a plurality of types of symbols prepared in advance are selected. A combination other than the above specific combination is selected.

When the combination selecting section selects a combination other than the specific combination, a third judging section for judging whether or not the combination is another predetermined specific combination is further provided. In such a case, the number counting section further counts the number of times (the number of times the reach is applied) that the third judging section judges to be the other specific combination. You can

In any of the configurations, the number of times the number counting section counts the number of times may be, for example, the time from when the gaming machine is started on the day until the present time. Further, the number counting unit may divide the counted number for each date, store and retain the number of days determined in advance, and output a result obtained by adding the number of stored and retained numbers.

Further, it is possible to further include an instruction section for instructing the number of times display section from outside to display the number of times. In such a case, the number of times display section can be changed from the instruction section. When instructed, it is possible to display the number of times output by the number counting unit.

According to the present invention, the player plays a game based on the number of times the symbol display section is operated, the number of big hits (and the number of times of reach) displayed by the number of times display section. It becomes possible to select the target gaming machine.

For example, when there is a gaming machine with a large number of big hits and a small number of gaming machines, the player can select the former if the former is a gaming machine that is prone to a big hit. If the latter is judged to be a gaming machine that will soon be a big hit, the latter can be selected.

Further, for example, when there are a gaming machine in which the symbol display section has been operated many times and a gaming machine in which the number of times the symbol display section has been operated is small, the latter is more likely to win the game medium in the specific winning section than in the former. It can be determined that the game machine.

Further, for example, if there is a gaming machine with a large number of times the symbol display section has operated and a gaming machine with a small number of times, the latter is a big hit if the number of times of a big hit is not different. It can be determined that the game machine is easy to play.

Further, for example, when there are a gaming machine with a large number of times of reaching and a gaming machine with a small number of reaching, if the number of times of a big hit is not different from each other, the latter is a game that is more likely to win a big hit. It can be judged to be a machine.

In addition, on the game board, a plurality of winning portions 104, a specific winning portion 105, a variable winning portion 106, and these winning portions 104, which are won when a pachinko ball enters and is discharged from the gaming board. , Specific winning part 105, variable winning part 10
Pachinko balls that did not enter 6 are finally collected, and one out ball discharging unit 107 that is discharged from the game board is provided.

Further, on the game board, a large number of obstacle nails have a length corresponding to the diameter of the pachinko ball so that the pachinko balls falling along the game board frequently collide with each other to cause fluctuations in the movement direction. Minutes, it is arranged substantially vertically while protruding from the game board. The amusement hall side can change the ease of winning a pachinko ball to the specific winning portion 105 by finely adjusting the degree of inclination of these obstacle nails.

Furthermore, on the game board, the operation is triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball to the specific winning portion 105, and a plurality of kinds of symbols prepared in advance are dynamically changed at each of the three display positions. A symbol display unit 108 for displaying is provided. In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of symbols displayed by the symbol display unit 108 are 16 types of symbols “A” to “P”.

When the combination of the display symbols at the three display positions is a big hit combination, the variable winning portion 106 is in a winning possible state in which a pachinko ball can be won. Specifically, the variable winning portion 106 has a lid, which is normally closed so as to be integrated with the game board.
If the combination of individual display symbols is a big hit combination, open the lid to secure a space for pachinko balls. In addition,
The variable winning portion 106, when a predetermined number of pachinko balls are won or when a predetermined time elapses,
Close the lid. In this embodiment, the jackpot combination is
There are 16 combinations of combinations in which all three display symbols match, that is, when all three display symbols are “A”, “B”, ..., “P”. .

As the symbol display section 108, at least one display device such as a plasma display or a liquid crystal display is prepared, and a plurality of types of symbols are dynamically changed at a plurality of display positions provided on the display device. To be displayed. Further, the symbol display unit 108 may prepare a plurality of rotary drums on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn and rotate these to realize a dynamic display state. FIG. 1 shows an example in which three display devices are provided and each is a display position.

In FIG. 2A, the symbol display section 108
Shows an example in which the number of times the player has operated, that is, the number of operations is “2500”, and shows an example in which the number of times the variable winning unit 106 has changed to the winning possible state, that is, the number of jackpots is “12”.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, a value obtained by dividing the number of operations by the number of big hits may be further displayed as a probability of a big hit per operation number (“big hit probability”).

Thus, for example, when there is a pachinko gaming machine with a large number of big hits and a pachinko gaming machine with a small number of hits, if the former decides that the pachinko gaming machine is likely to be a big hit, the former is selected. If it is determined that the latter is a pachinko game machine that will soon be a big hit, the latter can be selected.

Further, for example, when there are a pachinko gaming machine with a large number of operations and a pachinko gaming machine with a small number of operations, it is determined that the latter is a pachinko gaming machine in which the specific winning portion 105 is more likely to win a pachinko ball than the former. You can

Further, for example, when there are a pachinko gaming machine with a large number of operations and a pachinko gaming machine with a small number of operations, if the former big hit number and the latter big hit number do not differ, the latter is more likely to win big pachinko game machines. It can be determined that

The operation number display unit 109 and the big hit number display unit 110 can be realized by a plasma display, a liquid crystal display, or the like.

Now, when the player rotates the firing handle 101 by a desired angle, the pachinko balls stored in the tray 102 are fired one by one at a strength corresponding to the rotation angle and guided to the guide rail 103. It is guided to the game board while being played. Then, when a pachinko ball is won in the prize winning unit 104 or the specific prize winning unit 105, a predetermined number (for example, 7
The individual pachinko balls are paid to the saucer 102. In particular, when a pachinko ball is won in the specific winning unit 105, the symbol display unit 108 starts to operate, and 16 types of symbols "A" to "P" are dynamically changed so that these symbols 3 Display at each display position. Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation is stopped so that the dynamic display states of the three display positions are sequentially released. In this embodiment, 1
It is assumed that the dynamic display state is canceled in the order of the second display position, the second display position, and the third display position.

Therefore, in the following description, for convenience, the symbol display portion 108 is divided into three, and the portion relating to the first display position is designated as the symbol display portion 108a, and the portion relating to the second display position is designated as the symbol. The display unit 108b will be described, and the portion related to the third display position will be described as the symbol display unit 108c.

During the operation of the symbol display section 108, a sound effect is played from the pachinko gaming machine in order to raise the player's mood, and if the display symbols at the two display positions match, the reach is reached. Therefore, in order to increase the player's expectation, a sound effect different from the normal sound effect is played.

Considering that a pachinko ball is won in the specific winning portion 105 during the operation of the symbol display portion 108, 4
It is possible to display the winnings of the pachinko balls up to the number on the winning number display portion 111 and guarantee the operation of the symbol display portion 108.

If all the display symbols at the three display positions at the time when the symbol display unit 108 stops operating, it is a big hit, so the variable winning unit 106 opens the lid and sets the predetermined number. When (for example, 10) pachinko balls are won or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses, the lid is closed. Until the variable winning part 106 opens and closes the lid once, that is, for each of the pachinko balls won in one round, a predetermined number (eg, 15) of pachinko balls is received. 1
Will be paid to 02.

The symbol display unit 108 displays at least one type of moving image prepared in advance during the round so as to prevent the player from getting tired, and the number of winning pachinko balls to the variable winning unit 106. It is preferable to display the counting result.

Further, it is possible to prepare a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 times) for one big hit. Further, it is possible to make it possible to proceed to the next round only when a pachinko ball is won in a specific portion in the variable winning portion 106 during one round.

On the other hand, the pachinko balls that have not won any of the winning part 104 and the specific winning part 105 enter the out-ball discharging part 107 and are collected on the game hall side.

Each time the specific winning part control device 302 detects that a pachinko ball has won in the specific winning part 105 (step 501), it increments the count value of the internal specific winning counter by "1" ( Step 502). The count value of the specific winning number counter is output to the winning number display unit control device 303, and the winning number display unit control device 30.
3 turns on the lamps corresponding to the count value among the four prepared lamps (step 503). The operation shown in FIG. 5 is always performed regardless of the operation of the processor 307 described below.

6 and 7 are flowcharts showing the flow of the operation of the processor 307.

FIG. 6 shows the symbol display process, and FIG. 7 shows the big hit process. The symbol display process is activated when the power is turned on or the firing handle 101 is rotated.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the symbol display process, the processor 307 first determines the specific winning part control unit 3
The count value of the specific winning counter in 02 is determined, and if the count value is not "0" (step 601), an operation start signal for starting the operation of the symbol display units 108a to 108c is given. (Step 602), the count value of the specific winning counter is decremented by "1" (step 603).

Thereby, the symbol display unit control device 301
Starts the operation of the symbol display portions 108a to 108c,
The symbol display portions 108a to 108c are 1 for "A" to "P".
6 types of symbols, so that these symbols change dynamically,
Display each.

Further, the processor 307 adds "1" to the count value of the operation number counter 404 (step 6).
04), and outputs the count value of the added result to the operation number display unit control device 306 (step 605).

As a result, the operation number display unit control device 30
6 displays the count value of the operation number counter 404, that is, the operation number on the operation number display unit 109.

Subsequently, the processor 307 outputs an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the symbol display section 108a to the symbol display section control device 301 when a predetermined time or a time obtained by random number calculation has elapsed. (Step 606).

Thereby, the symbol display unit control device 301
Stops the operation of the symbol display unit 108a, and the symbol display unit 108a cancels the dynamic display state. Further, the symbol display unit control device 301 notifies the processor 307 of the identification code indicating the display symbol of the symbol display unit 108a.

Therefore, the processor 307 stores the identification code output from the symbol display unit control device 301 in the display symbol storage area 401 of the storage device 308 (step 607).

Similarly, the processor 307 outputs an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the symbol display section 108b to the symbol display section control device 301 when a predetermined time or a time obtained by random number calculation has elapsed. (Step 608), the identification code output from the symbol display unit control device 301 (identification code indicating the display symbol of the symbol display unit 108b), the display symbol storage area 402 of the storage device 308
(Step 609).

Subsequently, the processor 307 determines whether or not the identification codes stored in the display symbol storage areas 401 and 402 match (step 610).

If the two match, it is determined that the reach has been reached, and the process proceeds to step 613. If the two do not match, it is determined that the reach has not taken place, and when the predetermined time or the time obtained by the random number calculation elapses, the operation stop for stopping the operation of the symbol display unit 108c. While outputting the signal to the symbol display control device 301 (step 611), the symbol display storage area 4

Further, the processor 307 adds "1" to the count value of the operation number counter 404 (step 1
204), and outputs the count value of the added result to the operation number display unit control device 306 (step 1405).

As a result, the operation number display unit control device 30 is provided.
6 displays the count value of the operation number counter 404, that is, the operation number on the operation number display unit 109.

Subsequently, the processor 307 determines whether or not to be a big hit (step 1406).

Here, the process of determining whether or not a big hit will be described.

The processor 307 has, for example, "0"-
Obtain a random number X with a range of "239" by random number calculation,
The value of the obtained random number X is a predetermined value (for example,
When it becomes "0", it is decided to be a big hit,
If any one of "1" to "239",
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 1/240.

When the processor 307 decides that a big hit will occur, the processor 307 further decides a big hit combination (step 1407).

Here, the process of determining the big hit combination will be described.

The processor 307 obtains a random number Y having a range of "0" to "15" by random number calculation, and obtains the obtained random number Y.
The jackpot combination is determined according to the value of. That is, when the value of the random number Y is "0", the jackpot combination is "A,
When the value of the random number Y is "1", it is determined that the big hit combination is "B, B, B", and the value of the random number Y is "15". If so, it is determined that the jackpot combination is “P, P, P”.

When the big hit combination is determined, the processor 307 outputs the identification code indicating the first symbol of the big hit combination and the identification code indicating the second symbol to the symbol display unit control device 301 (step 1408, Step 14
09). For example, when it is determined that "F, F, F" is a big hit combination, the symbol display unit control device 301,
"F" and "F" are output. Thereby, the symbol display unit control device 301 controls the symbol display units 108a and 108b to display "F" and stop the operation, so that the symbols displayed on the symbol display units 108a and 108b are both "F", It takes reach.

410). Thereby, the symbol display unit control device 301,
Since the symbol display unit 108c displays "F" and controls so as to stop the operation, all the symbols displayed on the symbol display units 108a to 108c are "F", which is a big hit.

Subsequently, the processor 307 activates the big hit process shown in FIG. 7 (step 1411), waits for the end of the big hit process, and returns to step 1401.

On the other hand, when the processor 307 determines that it is not a big hit, it further determines an out-of-match combination (step 1412).

Now, the processing for determining the out-of-match combination will be described.

The processor 307 selects "0" to "407".
A random number Z having a range of “9” is obtained by random number calculation, and an outlier combination 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 outlier combination is “A, A, B”, and when the value of the random number Z is “1”, the outlier combination is “A, A, B”. If the value of the random number Z is “4079”, it is determined that the out-of-match combination is “P, O, P”.

[0166] The processor 307, when determining the off combination, outputs the identification code indicating the first symbol and the identification code indicating the second symbol of the off combination to the symbol display unit control device 301 (step 1413, Step 141
4).

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 out-of-match combination is
"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, O, P", reach is applied (step 1415).

Subsequently, the processor 307 outputs the identification code indicating the third symbol of the out-combination to the symbol display unit control device 301 both when the reach is applied and when it is not applied (step). 1416, step 141
7) and returns to step 1401.

The processing flow chart of the big hit process is the same as that of FIG. 7, but the process of step 710 is not performed.

Even in such a pachinko gaming machine, the player still has a big hit when all the display symbols of the symbol display portions 108a to 108c match.
