2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of gaming machine, for example, there is the following gaming machine. That is, a game board is erected on the front side of the machine body, and in the approximate center of the game board, the type of the game machine is determined, and usually one kind of accessory means is installed to enhance the game playability. It had been. The accessory means is composed of an accessory consisting of the largest-scale mechanism capable of changing the winning probability in the gaming machine. Depending on the type of the accessory means to be mounted, the first-class gaming machine (so-called,
Fever mono), second-class game machine (so-called honey mono),
It is classified into the third type (so-called Kenrimono) and the fourth-type gaming machine (so-called one-shot mono).

In particular, it comprises a special winning opening means (so-called chucker) and a variable display means (so-called digital), and when a game medium is won in the specific winning opening means, a pattern is rotated on the variable display means (digital). When the picture displayed and displayed on the variable display means (digital) matches a specific combination, the variable winning opening means is activated to perform a winning game with a relatively higher probability (prize probability) than usual. Gaming machines are called fever machines.

In the first-class game machine (so-called fever machine), the probability of occurrence of a specific combination in the variable display means (digital) is generated by a program (usually recorded in ROM) built in the machine. It is decided based on the random number, and the player cannot directly tamper with the program or control the random number generation to intervene in the occurrence probability of a specific combination.

As a result, the skill level in the game contents in which the player can intervene has been concentrated only on how efficiently the variable display means (digital) is operated and the number of times of random number generation is increased.

In addition, the generation of a special (attacker) winning state due to the operation of the variable winning device (attacker) requires some skill, but anyone can play the game according to a certain procedure (so-called strategy). Was almost certainly able to get the maximum added value, and was able to win a lot of balls.

Player who seeks strong stimulation in, a player who wants to receive a large amount of game medium in a short time without giving time (so-called short-time battle type player), a game medium of one winning Although the number of acquisitions is small, it is a player who wants to enjoy the game relatively slowly and for a long time because it has a high probability of generating added value and has a good ball possession, and a player who has plenty of time and wants to enjoy the game itself for a long time with few balls. A player who does not expect to pay out too much game media (so-called game enjoy type player)
For example, regardless of the presence of various players, only the same value-added generation probability and the value-added value that can be generated based on the value-added generation probability are set for the same game content. Since it is difficult to reflect changes in circumstances and emotions, there are problems that the game play is low, and the game lacks power and fun.

[0008] In addition, the player's convenience (for example, a schedule suddenly comes in, he / she wants to complete the game quickly, the schedule is vacant and he / she has time to spare, etc.), and changes in his / her feelings (eg, fever) It is difficult to change the game contents in the middle of the game according to the convenience of the player due to changes in emotion such as wanting to enjoy the game, or wanting to enjoy the game slowly). There was a problem that it was not powerful and interesting.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems of the prior art as described above, and an arbitrary added value is selected from a plurality of kinds of added values at an arbitrary timing immediately before the operation of the variable display means. By making it possible to select, it is possible to change the game contents in the middle of the game according to the convenience of the player and changes in emotions, and to provide a gaming machine that has high game playability, power, and fun Is intended.

I am individual.

When the value added for the small hit is selected, three kinds of any one of the numbers [1], [3], [5], [7], or [9] are prepared [111]. , [333],
Each of the added value generation probabilities of [555], [777], or [999] is set to 1/10, and the payout number of the game media at the time of one big hit prize is 100.

If the big hit is selected, the probability of generating the added value is extremely low, but if a prize is won, a large amount of payout of the game medium can be obtained in a short time, that is, there is a possibility that the strong stimulation in the so-called fever game can be fully enjoyed. It is possible to realize a gaming machine (first-class pachinko gaming machine) that is highly entertaining, powerful, and interesting. In addition, it is effective when a player who does not have enough time tries to receive a large amount of game media in a short time (a so-called short-time battle type player).

If a small hit prize is selected, the number of game media obtained in one prize is small, but since the prize is generated with a high probability, the player has a good ball and enjoys the game relatively slowly and for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to realize a gaming machine (first-class pachinko gaming machine) that has high game playability and is powerful and interesting. In addition, it is effective for a player who has a lot of time and wants to enjoy the game itself with a small number of balls for a long time and does not expect to pay out too much game medium (a so-called game enjoy type player). .

Furthermore, at any timing until just before the variable display means is activated, a plurality of kinds of added value (big hit,
It is possible to select any value added from medium hits and small hits, so it is convenient for the player (for example, you want to make a plan suddenly and finish the game quickly, you have a vacant schedule and you have time to spare). It is possible for the player to change the game content according to the change in emotional conditions (for example, the feeling that he / she wants to enjoy the feeling of fever, the desire to enjoy the game slowly, etc.) Convenient,
In addition, high playability, power, and fun can be realized.

By pressing the three selection buttons (that is, the big hit selection button, the medium hit selection button, and the small hit selection button) provided in the added value selection means 22, any value until just before the variable display means 17 is activated. Depending on the timing, multiple types of added value (3 types of big hit, medium hit, small hit)
It is possible to select an arbitrary added value (any one of big hit, medium hit and small hit). Furthermore, the selected added value (either big hit, medium hit, small hit 1
It is also possible to generate the selected added value data 22a according to

As a result, an arbitrary added value can be selected from a plurality of kinds of added values at an arbitrary timing immediately before the variable display means 17 is activated, so that it is convenient for the player (for example, suddenly scheduled). I want to complete the game quickly, I have a schedule and I have more time, etc.) and changes in my feelings (for example, I wanted to enjoy the feeling of fever, I wanted to enjoy the game itself slowly, It is possible to change the game contents in the middle of the game according to (changes in emotions such as)
Further, it is possible to realize a powerful and interesting gaming machine (first-class pachinko gaming machine) 10.

In the added value storage means 24, a plurality of kinds of added value generation probabilities (big hit generation probability, medium hit generation probability, small hit generation probability) data 24a and grants that can be generated based on the respective added value generation probabilities. Value data 22a is stored. Further, in the added value storage means 24, these data 22a, 24a according to the read command 20a.
Can be read at any time.

When the data required for the big hit game, the data required for the medium hit game, and the data required for the small hit game are stored in the added value storage means 24, the data 22a is issued in accordance with the read command 20a. , 24a can be read at any time.

When the game medium 12 wins 12a into the specific winning opening means 16, the game managing means 20 causes the variable display means 17 to operate.
To start the picture matching game 15.

Further, the game management means 20 has a selection added value (a big hit selection, a medium hit selection, or a small hit selection).
It is possible to generate the read command 20a according to the data 22a and read the value-added generation probability (big hit generation probability, medium hit generation probability, or small hit generation probability) data 24a.

Further, the game management means 20 generates the added value by aligning the pattern matching based on the added value generation probability (big hit generation probability, medium hit generation probability, or small hit generation probability) data 24a. The instruction 20b can be generated.

The variable winning a prize unit 18 is provided with the added value command 20.
When "b" is received, the opening / closing operation is repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times to pay out the game medium 12.

The variable winning port means 18 of this embodiment is used when the total number of balls of the number of winning game media to the normal winning port 18a and the number of winning game media to the V zone 18b is equal to or more than a predetermined ball or more. The V zone 18b is opened and the V zone 18b is closed when a predetermined time elapses. Further, before the V zone 18b is closed, the game medium 12 having a predetermined number of balls or more is in the V zone 18
When the prize 16a is won in b and the number of times of release of the V zone 18b is less than or equal to a predetermined number, the V zone 18b can be brought into the released state again.

As a result, by making it possible to select an arbitrary added value from a plurality of kinds of added values, a player who demands a strong stimulus in the fever game, a large amount of game media can be paid out in a short time with no spare time. A player who wants to receive a game (a so-called short-time battle type player), a player who wants to enjoy the game relatively slowly and for a long time, and a game where he / she has a lot of time and wants to enjoy the game for a long time with few balls. Since it is possible to reflect the convenience of various players such as players (so-called game enjoy type players) who do not expect a large amount of game media to be paid out by a player, the game playability is high, and It is possible to realize a powerful and interesting gaming machine (first-class pachinko gaming machine) 10.
