Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention has a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information in a game area, and a stop result mode in the variable display device. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine capable of generating a special game state advantageous to a player when the first specific mode is achieved.

(Prior Art) Examples of this type of gaming machine include the following.

That is, in the game area surrounded by the guide rails, a specific winning port, and a special variation winning device that can be converted into a first state with a small or no winning probability and a second state with a large winning probability, A variable display device capable of sequentially variably displaying a plurality of identification information is provided, and the control device changes the display mode of the variable display device on condition that a specific winning opening has been won, and then stops. When the stop result mode of the information of the variable display device is the first specific mode which is a predetermined combination, as a special game state advantageous to the player, for example, a ball hitting the special variable winning device is won. There is a configuration in which the first state, which is difficult to perform, is changed to the second state, in which a hit ball is easy to win.

This will be described in more detail. For example, a variable display device including three 7-segment digital displays and a special variation winning device called a so-called attacker are provided. As a condition,
The display mode of the variable display device including three digital displays changes in rotation, and the rotation change is stopped after a lapse of a certain time or when the stop switch is pressed, and at that time, the variable display device is statically displayed. When the information is a predetermined combination, for example, an odd-numbered doublet, it is determined that the special prize mode is generated, and the special variable winning device is changed from the first state as the normal game state to the second state as the special game state. There is known a pachinko gaming machine or the like which is configured to be advantageously converted by a player.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine has a drawback that the combination of information as a special prize mode for generating a special game state is fixed, which is not interesting.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a pachinko gaming machine in which a combination of information as a special prize mode for generating a special gaming state changes under a certain condition.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present invention is a first specific mode in which a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information in a game area and a stop result mode in the variable display device are predetermined. In the pachinko gaming machine capable of generating a special game state advantageous to the player when, the mode display means capable of variably displaying a plurality of game information, and the stop result mode in the variable display device is the first specific mode. The first determination means for determining whether or not the stop result mode in the variable display device is a second specific mode related to the stop result mode in the mode display means; The special game state is generated based on the output signal from the determination means or the second determination means.

(Operation) Due to a double condition being satisfied when the variable display device is in a display state of a predetermined combination and when it is in a display state promised in advance for the mode displayed on the mode display means, Therefore, the special game state occurs according to the prize mode.

Moreover, since the display mode by the mode display means changes and stops at the same time as or before and after the change of the display mode of the variable display device, the display state promised in advance for the mode displayed on the mode display means is also maintained. It changes as the game progresses, and the condition that the special prize mode and therefore the special game state occurs partially changes.

Therefore, the player can enjoy a more interesting game than before.

As a first mode of mode display, a plurality of, for example, five LEDs are arranged side by side and are set to A, B, C, D, and E, respectively, and in the normal case, the LEDs that are mode indicators are from A to E. It may be configured so that the movement is stopped when the pachinko ball has won the specific winning opening.

Then, for example, if the predetermined display code combination of the variable display device in the special prize mode is 111, 333, 555, 777, 999, the code combination different from this is 222, 444,
If 666, 888, 000 are promised to the mode displays A, B, C, D and E, when the variable display device identification information is changed and then stopped, the information displayed in the variable display device is displayed. If the combination matches the information combination of the special prize mode that the display mode of the mode display means means, the combination of information that has been lost in the conventional pachinko gaming machine also becomes the special prize mode and the special game state appears. Can be made.

This is nothing but changing the condition of a special prize mode for causing the special game state to appear depending on the display mode of the mode display means.

In addition, as a second mode of mode display, there is also a configuration in which a 7-segment LED capable of displaying the same kind of information as the display information of the variable winning apparatus is used as the mode display means.

In the normal case, the 7-segment LED is initially stopped at any display information and maintained until a special prize mode is generated and the special prize mode is completed.

The mode display information by the 7-segment LED can be updated each time the special prize mode ends.

Further, if the mode display means is configured by using the number of digits of the variable display device by using the 7-segment LED, it is possible to determine the combination of information of all special prize modes.

(Examples) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on illustrated examples.

Control Device The control operation of the pachinko gaming machine will be described below with reference to the circuit diagram of FIG.

Digital variable displays 22a, 22b, 22c are counters 74, 7
The decoder 77, 78, 79 decodes the contents of 5, 76 in decimal and displays the count value.

This display content is first displayed through AND gates 71, 72, 73.
The output pulse from the oscillator 70 is input to the counters 74, 75, and 76 to change the rotation.

The mode display LED lamps A, B, C, D, and E of the mode display 10 as the mode display means are connected to the digit output terminals of the ring counter 81 in order from the lower digit.

The ring counter 81 receives the pulse from the second oscillator 80 and circulates the counted content, and every time the output of the ring counter 81 carries up, the lighting position of the mode indicator 10 is changed to the mode display LED lamps A to E. Patrol in order.

This cycle rate, and thus the repetition period of the output pulse of the second oscillator 80, is longer than that of the first oscillator 70.

Although the first and second oscillators are shown as separate oscillators in the figure, they can be configured by dividing the output of the reference clock oscillator.

 Next, the operation will be described.

Normal gaming state FF2, FF3, FF4 is a flip-flop that controls the start and stop of the rotation of the variable display 22a, 22b, 22c,
Normally in reset state.

Therefore, the AND gates 71, 72, 73 connected to the Q output terminals of the flip-flops FF2, FF3, FF4 are closed, and the output pulse from the first oscillator 70 is prohibited. , 22b, 22c have stopped rotating.

However, since the ring counter 81 receives the pulse from the second oscillator 80 and circulates the counted content, the mode display LED lamps A to E relatively slowly circulate in the lighting position.

When the ball hits the specific winning opening 6, 7, or 8, the head of the robot of the variable display device 5 descends twice.

In addition, the digital variable display 22a, 22b,
22c starts to rotate, and patrol of the lighting positions of the LED lamps A to E of the mode display 10 is stopped.

(B) Rotation start of variable display When one of the special prize detector SW is turned on, the waveform shaping circuit 65
And a pulse is applied to the up / down counter 67 via the AND gate 66.

The up / down counter 67 is associated with the number of memories displayed on the memory display 29, and counts up to a total of 4 specific winning pulses, and the count value is 1.
Produces output for ~ 4.

When the stored count value is 5 or more, an L level carry is generated and the AND gate 66 is prohibited.

When the up / down counter 67 outputs, AND
The start flip-flop FF1 is set via the gate 68.

The output terminal of the flip-flop FF1 is inverted to L level, and the AND gate 68 is prohibited.

Further, the Q output of the flip-flop FF1 is inverted to the H level and sent to the flip-flops FF2, FF3, FF4 for the variable display and the flip-flop FF6 for the mode display.

Since the flip-flops FF2, FF3, FF4 are set by receiving the Q output of the flip-flop FF1, and the AND gates 71, 72, 73 are opened by the set output, the first oscillator 70
The pulse from is applied to the counters 74, 75 and 76, the count contents of these counters 74, 75 and 76 are incremented, and the display contents of the digital variable displays 22a, 22b and 22c rotate.

(B) Stop of the mode display LED lamp On the other hand, the Q output of the flip-flop FF6 is inverted to the H level in response to the Q output of the flip-flop FF1.

Therefore, the ring counter 81 stops through the OR gate 86, and accordingly, the circulation of the lighting positions of the mode display LED lamps A to E also stops, and for example, the mode display LED lamp A remains stationary in a lit state.

(C) Stop rotation of variable display For the rotation of the digital variable displays 22a, 22b, 22c, an automatic stop pulse is input to the OR gate 82 or a manual stop pulse from the stop switch 17 is input. Sometimes it is stopped as follows.

The automatic stop pulse is generated about 6 seconds after the timer (not shown) set by setting the start flip-flop FF1.

Now, when any one of the above stop pulses is input to the OR gate 82, when the variable display stop flip-flop FF5 connected to the OR gate 82 is set, the output of the flip-flop FF5 becomes L level. Therefore, the reset state of the shift register 84 is released, and the shift register 84 performs the counting operation by the pulse from the random pulse generation circuit 83.

Output pulses are sequentially generated at the digit output terminals of the shift register 84, and the flip-flops FF2, FF3, and FF4 for the variable display are sequentially reset by these pulses.

Therefore, the AND gates 71, 72, 73 are closed, and the first oscillator 70
Since the pulse from is prohibited, the digital variable display 22
a, 22b, 22c stop rotating in sequence.

And when you stop, say the displayed number or sound effect.

The last rotation of the digital variable display 22c is stopped when an output occurs in the most significant digit of the shift register 84.

The most significant digit output of the shift register 84 is sent to the start flip-flop FF1 and the stop flip-flop FF5 to return both flip-flops FF1 and FF5 to the reset state, and at the same time, the down input terminal of the up / down counter 67. The counter 67 is down-counted.

If the contents of the up / down counter 67 have overflowed due to the stored number of 4, the AND gate 6
The prohibition of 6 is lifted.

Note that the shift register 84 also returns to the reset state by resetting the flip-flop FF5.

(D) Mode selection When the rotation of the last digital variable display 22c is stopped, as described above, the flip-flop FF for start is used.
1 and the output of the flip-flop FF4 for the variable display is H
Level.

Therefore, an output (stop signal) S0 is generated at the AND gate 69 which receives the outputs of both flip-flops FF1 and FF4 as two inputs.

The stop signal S0 is sent to the mode instructing circuit 87 and also input to the delay circuit 85.

The mode instruction circuit 87 includes AND gates 88, 89, 90, 9 whose one input terminal is connected to the digit output terminal of the ring counter 81.
1, 92, AND gates 93, 9 connected to these AND gates
It is composed of a logic circuit composed of 4, 95, 96, 97 and an OR gate 98.

The stop signal S0 is the AND gates 88, 89, 9 of the mode instruction circuit 87.
Added as the other input of 0, 91, 92.

When the mode display LED lamp A is lit (mode A), the AND gates 88 and 93 hit the numbers "000" and "222".
Is selected.

When the mode display LED lamp B is lit (mode B), the AND gates 89 and 94 hit the numbers "222" and "444".
Is selected.

Similarly, in Mode C, the numbers "444" and "666" are hit by AND gates 90 and 95 in mode C, and in AND gate 9 in mode D.
The winning numbers "666" and "888" depending on 1, 96 are AND in mode E
The numbers "888" and "000" are selected by the gates 92 and 97.

The outputs of these AND gates 93, 94, 95, 96, 96 are OR
It is output from the mode instruction circuit 87 as "mode instruction data" through the gate 98.

The mode instruction data output from the mode instruction circuit 87 is input to the special prize mode determination circuit 100 through the OR gate 99.

Fixed data “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, “999”, which is an original winning number, is input to the special prize mode determination circuit 100 through the OR gate 99.

Eventually, a total of 7 types of hit data, which are fixed odd number 5 fixed data and even number 0 variable data, are input to the special prize mode determination circuit 100.

The special prize mode determination circuit 100 reads the display number of the variable displays 22a, 22b, 22c that have just stopped, that is, the stop result mode, by the reading means (not shown), and the value (result mode)
Is compared with the predetermined 7 hit data in total.

Then, when this is a win, a special prize mode signal is output, and this is sent to the ring counter 81 via the OR gate 86, and the ring counter during the special game according to the special prize mode.
Hold 81 in a stopped state. That is, the lighting position of the mode display 10 is fixed during the special game in the special prize mode.

Although the control means is not shown, the special variation winning device 9 is opened when the combination of the special prize modes is displayed.

When a special winning ball is generated in the special variable winning device 9 during this opening, the number of the winning balls is displayed on the winning ball number display 9A, and a sound effect for informing the winning sounds.

Also, while the special variation winning device 9 is open, the strobe blinks and the body part 21A of the robot 21 sways left and right, and the leg parts 21D move back and forth.

As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the special variable winning device 9 closes when 29.5 seconds have elapsed after opening or when 10 special winning balls have been won in the special variable winning device 9.

Then, after the special variation winning device 9 is closed, it is opened again. The wait time from closing to opening is 3 seconds, at which time the robot 21 raises the arm 21C three times and says "Banzai" three times.

After that, the special variable winning device 9 has a maximum of 10 as long as there is a winning in the continuous winning port 62 while it is opened for 29.5 seconds or until a total of 10 winning balls are won.
Opening and closing operations continue up to times.

If it is not a hit, the special prize mode signal is not output.

The delay circuit 85 produces an output after a lapse of time until the determination by the special prize mode determination circuit 100 is completed, and resets the flip-flop FF6.

Therefore, when it is not hit, that is, when the special prize mode signal is not output, this flip-flop FF6
Resetting causes the ring counter 81 to start again, and the lighting positions of the mode display LED lamps A to E start to circulate.

As described above, in the present invention, it is determined whether or not the stop result mode in the variable display device is the predetermined first specific mode (first determining means), and further, the stop result correspondence in this variable display device is in the mode. It is judged whether or not it is the second specific mode related to the stop result mode on the display means (second judgment means), and it is advantageous to the player based on the judgment output signal from the first judgment means or the second judgment means. A special game state is occurring.

Other Embodiments In the embodiments described above with reference to FIGS. 2 and 9, the mode display is performed using information different from the content display information (numerical value) of the variable display, and a certain relation is established between the two. However, the same information can be used.

This is possible by using a 7-segment LED digital display as shown in FIG. 12 as the mode display LED lamp.

In other words, the mode display LED lamps are "2""4""6""8"
Set to display only "0", first stop the mode display LED lamp with arbitrary information, a special prize mode occurs during the game, and display the mode each time the special game state ends The LED lamps can also be configured to be updated sequentially.

For example, if the mode display LED lamp first displayed "2", a special prize mode occurs, and if the special game state ends, the next "4" will be displayed at that time. Can be

Next, referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, an embodiment based on the variable display device 5 shown in FIG. 12 will be described.

The variable display device 5 of FIG. 12 is the first embodiment (FIGS. 2 and 3).
The difference from the one shown in the figure is that the mode display LED lamp is not a simple lamp but a 7-segment LED digital display. In the first embodiment, the variable display 22
Is provided in the movable body 345, whereas it has no such movable body.

Above the mode display 10, there are a winning entrance 24 and a horizontal entrance 25, and below the variable indicator 22, a memory indicator 29.
4 LEDs are arranged as.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the mode display LED lamp is digitally displaying one even number, for example, "0" (in the case of mode 0), the even number "000" is used as the special prize mode. It was a big hit and the biggest difference was "001"
In this example, "009" is treated as a small hit.

Here, the "big hit" means that the special variable winning device 9 is opened for 29.5 seconds as shown in FIG. 8 or until a total of 10 winning balls are won in the special variable winning device 9. This means that a game state in which the opening / closing operation of the special variation winning device 9 is continued up to 10 times is displayed on condition that the continuous winning opening 62 of the special variation winning device 9 is won.

The "small hit" means that the opening and closing operation of the variable winning device 9 is performed only once.

However, both big hits and small hits are still special prize modes.

Therefore, there is a difference between the big hit and the small hit, but the mode display
When the digital display of the LED lamp is "2" (in case of mode 2), 222, 221, 223 is displayed, and when the digital display is "4" (in case of mode 4), 444, 443, 445 is displayed in digital. In the case of "6" (in the case of mode 6), 666, 665, 667 are
888, 8 when the digital display is "8" (in mode 8)
87 and 889 are treated as special prize modes.

In addition, it is common that odd-numbered ditches 111, 333, 555, 777, and 999 are special prize modes for big hits.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram of a control device using a microcomputer showing such a control example.

The microcomputer is basically a central processing unit CP
It is composed of U, ROM 101, and RAM 102.

A program for controlling the CPU is written in the ROM 101, and the CPU uses the input port 103 according to this program.
And external data required from the I / O port 104, or while performing data processing while exchanging data with the RMA102, and processing the data as necessary.
Output to I / O port 104 or voice IC (voice synthesis circuit) 10
Output to 5.

 FIG. 11 shows a program written in the ROM 101.

Here, “special prize mode processing” is defined, and when it is determined that it is a special prize mode, the mode is updated to the mode next to the mode among mode 0, mode 2, mode 4, mode 6 and mode 8. To be done.

That is, when the "update flag" becomes "1" in the "special prize mode processing" subroutine (not shown), the processing mode is updated to the next processing mode (mode update), and the update flag is set to "1". Set it to 0 "and return to the first" input detection process "in FIG.

When the program starts, the microcomputer enters "input detection processing" which is described as "stop variable display C" in the figure (step 1.0).

Here, first give a port designation signal to the I / O port 104,
Wait for the variable display 22c, which has the last stop order, to stop.

When the variable display 22c is stopped, the three variable displays 22a,
Check if the display contents of 22b and 22c are the same (1.1).

If the numbers are the same, it is judged whether or not they are odd numbers (1.7). If they are odd numbers, it is a big hit, so proceed to step 1.13 to perform special prize mode processing, update the mode and return to detection processing. (1.13, 1.14).

If it is determined in step 1.7 that the numbers are the same, but are even numbers, the mode is set to "0""2".
Depending on whether it is "4", "6" or "8", the following processing is performed.

That is, when the mode is “0”, steps 1.2 to 1.8
Proceed to to see if the variable displays 22a, 22b, 22c display "000".

If it is "000", it is a big hit, so it is processed in the same way as in the case of odd doublet.

The same applies when the mode is “2” “4” “6” “8”,
Proceed to steps 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12 respectively, and it is determined whether or not it is a doublet having the same number as the display of the mode display LED lamp, and if yes, it is treated as a big hit and similarly processed.

Next, if the variable displays 22a, 22b, 22c do not show flat eyes (1.1), steps 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6
At, it is judged whether it is a small hit.

That is, when the mode is “0”, it is determined in step 1.8 whether the variable displays 22a, 22b, 22c display 001 or 009, and if 009 or 001, it is processed as a small hit (1.1
3).

The same applies when the mode is “2” “4” “6” “8”,
Proceed to steps 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12, respectively, and determine whether it is the first difference in the doublet of the same number as the display of the mode display LED lamp.

When the process of the special prize mode is performed once, the mode is updated.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the mode indicator LED lamp 1
Although I used a single digital display, I made a mode display LED lamp using a plurality of digital displays, and made a display corresponding to two digits or all digits of the variable display,
A big hit or a small hit can also be determined by comparing with the display content of the variable display 22.

If the mode display LED lamp uses the same number of digital displays as the number of digits of the variable display 22, the mode display LED
All special prize modes can be defined by the lamp.

13 and 14 show the variable display 22 and the mode display 10.
1 shows a pattern display 110 that can be used as

The pattern display device 110 is mounted between a box-shaped frame body 111 whose front and bottom sides are open, a plurality of acrylic plates 112 housed in the frame body 111, a front face of the frame body 111, and an acrylic plate 112. A partition frame 198, a lamp housing member 113 inserted from the bottom of the frame body 111, a lamp substrate 115 inserted into the lamp housing member 113 from below, and the like.

The lamp substrate 115 carries the same number of lamps 114 as the acrylic plate 112.

A lamp housing member 113 abutting on the bottom surface of the acrylic plate 112
In this case, acrylic plate accommodating grooves 116 that fit relatively tightly with the lower portion of the acrylic plate 112 are formed independently of each other according to the number of acrylic plates 112.

The acrylic plate 112 has a characteristic that if the density is uniform, the light incident from the cut goes straight to the opposite cut.

This pattern display 110 utilizes the characteristics of the acrylic plate 112.

That is, holes or cavities that cause irregular reflection are provided in the traveling direction of light, and the pattern drawn by these holes or cavities is made to appear and displayed.

Each acrylic plate storage groove 116 communicates with a plurality of lamp holes 117 formed on the bottom surface of the lamp storage member 113 in a one-to-one relationship, and the lamp holes 117 are independent of each other and the lamps inserted therein. The light of 114 does not leak to the other lamp holes 117.

The lamp hole 117 has a thickness of the acrylic plate 112 and the acrylic plate 11
Since the diameter is larger than the total distance between the two, the forming positions are staggered to realize a one-to-one relationship with the acrylic plate 112.

Each acrylic plate 112 carries different patterns, and this pattern has a large number of thin holes drilled to the back of the surface (partition frame 113 side) of the acrylic plate 112 to a depth that does not penetrate. Is drawn by.

As the pattern, for example, alphabetic characters and other characters, as well as numbers, symbols, patterns, and the like can be drawn, but by setting different patterns for each acrylic plate 112, numbers from 1 to 0 can be drawn. Can be variably displayed, or the design can be changed.

Therefore, it can display arbitrary patterns such as numbers, characters, and figures compared to the digital display with 7-segment LED that has been used for variable display, and it is possible to combine numbers and other patterns. Become.

Further, it has an advantage that the structure is simple and the size can be reduced as compared with the rotating drum, the liquid crystal, the CRT and the like.

This pattern display 110 constitutes a decimal 3-digit digital variable display, and when it is used as the variable display 22 shown in FIGS. 2 and 12, 10 acrylic plates 112 are used.
Then, one set of 10 lamps 114 may be used and 3 lamps may be used.

In this case, when the pachinko ball wins the specific winning opening, the lamp 114 moves and lights up.

When the player presses the stop switch 17 or when a certain period of time by a timer elapses, the one lamp 114 is turned on and stopped.

The number on the acrylic plate 112 at the position of the stationary lamp 114 is displayed.

In addition, the mode indicator 10 (for example, lamps A to E) of FIG.
If you want to use it as, use 5 acrylic plates 112, 5 lamps 114, and usually move the lamp 114 to light, and only one lamp 115 by pachinko ball winning at the specific winning opening. It can be turned on and stopped.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, the special prize mode and thus the special game state are promised in advance when the variable display device enters the display state of a predetermined combination and the mode displayed on the mode display means. Since it occurs when either or both of the display states are established, it is possible to provide a pachinko gaming machine having more varied game contents than before.
