Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a front view of the pachinko machine. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a front frame, which is pivotally attached to the front side of the pachinko machine body 2 so as to be openable and closable. Glass door 3 and front plate 4 on front frame 1
Are mounted, and the game board 5 is removably mounted on the rear side of them.

On the front face of the game board 5, a guide rail 6 for guiding the launched game balls is provided, and in addition to obstacle nails, winning holes 7 to 11, winning means 12 and 13, variable symbol display means.
14, a big winning means 15, a starting gate 16, an outlet 17, and corner lamps 18 and 19, respectively.

The variable symbol display means 14 is provided with three symbol display portions 20 to 22 for segmentally displaying the numerical symbols 1 to 9, and when the game ball enters the starting gate 16, each symbol display portion is displayed.
The pattern of 20 to 22 fluctuates for a certain time at a speed at which it can be seen.

The big winning means 15 is a stop symbol after the variation of each symbol display section 20 to 22 of the variable symbol display means 14, and a preset winning symbol, for example, a combination symbol of "7,7,7" is displayed. Occasionally, the opening / closing plate 23 is opened for the required time.

The upper plate 24 is attached to the front plate 4 and the upper plate 24 is attached.
A ball wiping lever 25 is provided at the front edge of 24. Front frame 1
A lower plate 26 and an operating handle 28 of the launching means 27 are provided in the lower part of the table. When the operating handle 28 is operated, game balls are supplied from the upper plate 24 to the launching unit one by one, and the game balls are launched by a motor. Is activated to fire along the guide rail 6.

FIG. 3 illustrates a control device for controlling the variable symbol display means 14 by random number processing, and 30 is a random number generating means,
A random number from 0 to 255 is always generated. 31 is a random number processing means, this random number processing means 31 reads a random number from the random number generating means 30 when the game ball enters the starting gate 16 and performs random number processing, and the variable symbol display means via the display control means 32. It is for varying the symbols of each of the 14 display units 20 to 22, and is composed of a microcomputer or the like.

In the random number processing means 31, as shown in FIG.
The random number from 0 to 255 from the random number generating means 30 is divided into 16 equal parts, and "00" to "01", "02", "03", "0".
4 ”,“ 05 ”,“ 06 ”,“ 07 ”,“ 08 ”,“ 0 ”
9 "," 0A "," 0B "," 0C "," 0D "," 0 "
While dividing into each block of "E" and "0F", a unique random number processing condition and a moving condition for moving to another block are set for each of the blocks, and the game is started in the starting gate 16. After selecting one of the blocks according to the random number when the ball enters, every time the game ball enters the starting gate 16, random number processing is performed according to the random number processing condition in that block until the movement condition is satisfied. I am supposed to do it.

In each block, the random number from 0 to 255 from the random number generating means 30 is divided into 16 parts, which is further divided by 1.
It is divided into 6 to generate 16 random numbers, which is the same as the number of blocks.

Incidentally, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, one random number per block, four related random numbers, eleven outlying random numbers, and two moving random numbers are set in the 01 block, respectively. Then, the 01 block is set as a hit block, and each of the blocks other than the 01 block is set with 1 related random number, 15 deviating random numbers, and 2 moving random numbers, respectively, and deviates from each of these blocks. When the game ball enters the starting gate 16, the random number at that time is read, and the block is selected, the symbol is displayed, and the block is moved according to the random number.

Incidentally, even when each moving random number, each symbol display section 20
Since the deviation patterns are displayed in 22 to 22, as shown in parentheses in FIG. 5, the number of moving random numbers is entered in the number of deviation random numbers of each block.

In block 01, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, among the random numbers from 00 to 0F, the random number 01 is hit and the random numbers 02, 03, 06 and 0A are moved to the related random numbers, and the random numbers 00 and 0F are moved. Each random number including a moving random number other than a hit random number and a related random number is set as a deviating random number.

Then, when the hit random number is 01, the hit symbol is extracted from the symbol display table and each symbol display section 20-
It is designed to display a symbol on 22. Similarly, when the related random number is 02, 03, 06, 0A, the related symbol that is related to the winning symbol, and the moving random number 00, 0
At the time of the out-of-range random number including F, the out-of-range symbol which is not related to either the winning symbol or the related symbol is displayed on each of the symbol display portions 20 to 22, respectively. The moving random numbers 00 and 0F are for moving conditions, and at the time of this moving random number, the moving to the same block as the random number, that is, the 00 block and the 0F block is designated.

The winning symbols are three symbol display parts 20-
All of the symbols displayed in 22 are a combination of "7", and the related symbols are the symbols displayed in the three symbol display parts 20 to 22, and the two symbols on the left side are both "7". , Is a combination in which only the design on the right side is a design other than "7", for example, "7.7.0""7.7.1"
There are combination designs such as "7/7/2""7/7/3""7/7/4". 3 symbols are displayed on the off display.
The symbol displayed in is a combination of symbols that are completely unrelated to the winning symbol and the related symbol, for example, a combination symbol such as "4/8/3" that is different from all three symbols.

In each of the other blocks, associated random numbers, moving random numbers and outlying random numbers are set in accordance with the numbers shown in FIG. For example, related random numbers and moving random numbers of 00 block and 02 block are as shown in FIG. Next, a control method in the pachinko machine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the game, when the operating handle 28 of the launching means 27 is operated, the game balls supplied one by one to the launching position of the launching means 27 are launched onto the upper part of the game board 5 along the guide rails 6. Then, when the game ball enters the starting gate 16, the display symbols of the respective symbol display portions 20 to 22 of the variable symbol display means 14 fluctuate for a fixed time.

At this time, the control system is started by turning on the power of the pachinko machine or operating the operation handle 28, and the random number generating means 30 starts generating random numbers (step S
1) Initialize each part (step S2).

When the first game ball enters the starting gate 16 (step S3), the random number processing means 31 reads the random number from the random number generating means 30 at that time (step S).
4). Then, it is determined whether or not the block has already been determined (step S5), and if the block is undetermined, the random number is selected and determined to determine the block (step S6). ).

At this time, if the random number corresponds to the 01 block, the 01 block is immediately selected, and then 00, 0F
Every time a game ball enters the starting gate 16, random number processing is performed in accordance with the random number processing condition in this 01 block until the moving random number of is output.

Now, assuming that the 01 block is selected and confirmed, first, it is judged whether or not the random number is a related random number (step S7), and the random number is 02, 03, 06 or 0A.
If it is a related random number, the symbol display control means 32 extracts the related symbol corresponding to the related random number from the symbol display table, and corresponds to the relevant random number in each symbol display section 20 to 22 of the variable symbol display means 14. The related symbol to be displayed, for example, “7, 7, 4,” or the like is displayed (step S8).

If the random number is not a related random number, it is determined whether or not it is a winning random number (step S9), and when the winning random number is 01, the symbol display control means 32 selects a winning symbol corresponding to the winning random number from the symbol display table. The extracted symbols are displayed on the symbol display sections 20 to 22 of the variable symbol display means 14 to display the winning symbols of "7,7,7" (step S10).

If the random number is neither a hit random number nor a related random number, it becomes an outlying random number including a moving random number, so the symbol display control means 32 extracts an outlying symbol corresponding to the outlying random number from the symbol display table, and changes. In each of the symbol display sections 20 to 22 of the symbol display means 14, an off symbol such as "4/8/3" is displayed (step S11). Further, it is determined whether or not the random number is a moving random number (step S12), and if the random number is 00 or 0F, the block is moved to the block corresponding to the moving random number (step S13).

If the block is already confirmed when the random number is read by entering the starting gate 16, the process proceeds from step S5 to step S7. Then, the same processing is repeated every time one game ball enters the starting gate 16.

In each block such as the block 00, the block 0F, etc. of the moving destination, every time the game ball enters the starting gate 16, the same process is performed according to the random number at that time. When there are no more game balls, the process ends (step S14).

According to this embodiment, 0 including the winning random number
The probability of becoming one block is 1/16, the probability of a hit random number in a 01 block is 1/16, the probability of a related random number is 4/16, and the probability of an outlying random number is 11/16. The probability of the moving random number is 2/16, and in simple calculation, if the game ball enters the starting gate 16 eight times, it will move to another block.

Therefore, in block 01, until the moving random number comes out, the game ball is 3 in the starting gate 16.
Each time it is repeated 5 times, 8 times, a random number per hit, a related random number, and a random random number appear with a predetermined probability. Therefore, each symbol display section 20 to 22 of the variable symbol display means 14 has a hit symbol, a related symbol. The symbols and the outlying symbols are displayed in a mixed order in any order according to a predetermined probability.

In other words, in the 01 block, the probability of immediately becoming a winning symbol is 1/16, which is very low compared to other outlier symbols and related symbols.
Among the many out-of-range symbols displayed with the probability of, the related symbols will be displayed in a random order in a mixed manner with a probability of 4/16.

Therefore, when the number of blocks becomes 01, it is impossible for the player to know that there is a random number, but "7.7
・ The probability that related symbols such as "4", "7, 7, 5", etc., indicating the reach state, will appear, and the appearance of the symbols on each symbol display section 20-22 will be different from the previous time. Therefore, the player will play the game while exerting his / her thinking ability, such as predicting or expecting the next symbol from the continuation of each symbol displayed on each symbol display section 20 to 22, It is possible to play interesting games with a good sense of interest and creativity.

In the case of constructing a game, the moving rate in simple calculation can be easily determined by the number of moving random numbers moving to other blocks, and each block can be moved within the range of the moving rate. Since the condition of the random number processing in can be arbitrarily determined, it is possible to devise such that each pattern in a specific block has a story. For this reason, it is possible to easily adopt a game configuration with a taste for each block or all blocks, and it is possible to give a tasteful change to the game content itself as compared to the conventional simple random number processing. Is.

Furthermore, raising and lowering the moving rate, random number for each,
Since the effect can be freely set and operated depending on how to set the random number conditions such as the related random number and the moving random number, it is possible to easily adopt a game configuration which is rich in variety and has a thought.

FIG. 7 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a plurality of blocks are hit blocks, and the number of moving random numbers of each hit block is made larger than that of each other outlier block, and each hit block is The case where the number of moving random numbers of is changed is shown.

That is, in the case of the first embodiment of FIG. 5, only the 01 block is the hit block, and four related random numbers are set in the 01 block, and all the blocks are set under the same condition. Therefore, the movement rate between the blocks is exactly the same, and only in the case of 01 block, the number of related symbols is larger than that of other blocks, and a hit is generated.

However, in the case of the second embodiment, 01
Two random numbers are set for each of the block and the 06 block, and four moving random numbers for the 01 block and seven moving random numbers for the 06 block are used to change the moving rate even for the same winning block. Both hit blocks,
The number of related random numbers is 4 each, and the probability that the related symbols appear is the same.

In this way, there is a possibility that a hit may occur at the time of 01 block and 06 block, but the moving random number of 01 block is four, whereas the moving random number of 06 block is seven. Yes, the movement rate at block 06 is extremely high. Therefore, in this 06 block, a moving random number is output with a probability of 7/16, so even if it becomes 06 block, it will move to another block immediately if the game ball enters the starting gate 16 about 2-3 times. become.

Therefore, even though the 01 block and the 06 block have the same number of hit random numbers, the probability of a hit occurring in the 06 block is lower than that in the 01 block, so that a plurality of blocks are hit. Even in the case of a block, by changing the number of random numbers and the number of moving random numbers per block, the taste and effect of each block can be changed.

The number of hit random numbers may be changed to make the number of moving random numbers the same, or both may be changed. FIG. 9 illustrates the third embodiment of the present invention. As in the case of the second embodiment, 01 blocks and 06 blocks are hit blocks, the associated random numbers of each hit block are 4 and the movement of each block. The case where the number of random numbers is changed is shown.

In the case of the third embodiment, one random number is set for each of 01 block and 06 block, two moving random numbers of 01 block and four moving random numbers of 06 block are set.
I am individual. In addition, the moving random numbers of the other 00 block and 02 block to 09 block are set to 1 and 0, respectively.
There are two moving random numbers from the A block to the 0F block.

In this embodiment, the 01 block and the 06 block are hit blocks, but the moving random number of the 06 block is 4 and the moving rate is large, and
Each of the out-of-block blocks from block 00, block 02 to block 09 has only one moving random number, and the moving rate is 1
Since it is very small as / 16, it easily gathers in these outlying blocks, and when it becomes these outlying blocks, it becomes difficult to move from that block to another block.

For this reason, the block is to be stopped for a long time in each of the out-of-blocks from block 00, block 02 to block 09, and there are a plurality of hit blocks.
Since the probability of moving to the hit block is relatively low, the probability of occurrence of hit can be changed.

Therefore, not only by changing the number of hit blocks and the number of hit random numbers of each block, but also by changing the number of moving random numbers of the hit block or the number of moving random numbers of each out-of-range block, a hit is generated. It is possible to freely set and change the probability, and the flexibility in configuring the game is significantly improved.

Although the respective embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. For example,
The related symbols displayed on each symbol display section 20 to 22 are "4.
The numbers in the first two digits may be different between the related symbols such as "2", "5,5,2", "6,6,2" and the like. The symbols displayed on each of the symbol display portions 20 to 22 may be something other than the numerical symbols.

Further, a display symbol may be determined in advance for each random number, and when the random number comes out, a symbol corresponding thereto may be displayed on each of the symbol display portions 20-22. Further, the numbers of the hit random numbers, the related random numbers, the outlying random numbers, and the moving random numbers in the respective embodiments are all examples, and it goes without saying that the numbers may change in the actual game configuration depending on the relationship with the game content and the like.

In the embodiment, the block to be moved next is specified by the random number value of the moving random number, but if the moving random number comes out, the block is moved from that block, and the moving destination is the starting gate 16 where the game is played. It may be determined by a random value when the sphere enters.

The moving condition may be determined by the number of times the game ball enters the starting gate 16 in the block. In addition, in the embodiment, the pachinko machine is exemplified, but the same can be performed by an arrange ball machine.
