Reference numeral 33 denotes an image control means, each time a game ball enters the starting gate 20, causes the image display means 18 to display an image corresponding to the random number at that time, and at other times, another suitable image is displayed on the image display means. 18 is configured to display. The random number processing means 31, the symbol control means 32,
The image control means 33 is composed of an IC, a microcomputer and 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 "
It is divided into blocks of "E" and "0F". Then, for each block, a unique random number processing condition and a moving condition for moving to another block are set respectively, and each block is set according to the random number when the game ball enters the starting gate 20. After any one of the above is selected, every time a game ball enters the starting gate 20, random number processing is performed according to the random number processing condition in the block until the movement condition is satisfied.

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

Incidentally, in this first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, in the 01 block, one or two random symbols are displayed for matching all the stop symbols of the symbol display portions 23, 24, 25. Reach random numbers that match the stop symbols of parts 23, 24, 25 are 4
The number of outlying random numbers that makes all the stopped symbols of each symbol display unit 23, 24, 25 different, and sets two moving random numbers in the outlying random numbers, and makes this 01 block a hit block. , Each block other than this 01 block has 1 reach random number, 15 out-of-range random numbers, and 2 moving random numbers, and each of these blocks is an out-of-block block, and a game ball enters the starting gate 20. Sometimes, 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 2
Since deviating symbols are displayed at 3, 24, 25, as shown in parentheses in FIG. 5, the number of moving random numbers is put in the number of deviating random numbers of each block.

In block 01, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, among the random numbers up to 000F, random number 01 is a random number, random numbers 02, 03, 06 and 0A are reach random numbers, and random numbers 00 and 0F are moving random numbers. , Random numbers including moving random numbers other than hit random numbers and reach random numbers are set as outlying random numbers.

Then, the symbol control means 32 has a random number of 0.
At the time of 1, the winning symbol is extracted from the symbol display table and the winning symbol is displayed on each of the symbol display portions 23, 24, 25. Similarly, reach random numbers 02, 03, 06,
At 0A, reach patterns that are related to the winning design,
Further, when the random number includes the moving random number 00,0F, the non-relevant winning symbol and the reach symbol are displayed on the respective symbol display portions 23, 24, 25, respectively.

The moving random numbers 00 and 0F are for moving conditions, and when this moving random number is used, 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 portions 23, 2
All of the symbols displayed on 4,25 are a combination of "7", and the reach symbol is one of the three symbols displayed on the three symbol display units 23, 24, 25, and the two symbols on the left are both It is a combination that becomes "7", and only the design on the right side is a design other than "7". For example, "7/7" and "7/7"
・ There are combination designs such as "1", "7,7,2", "7,7,3", "7,7,4". 3 symbols display area
The symbol displayed on 23, 24, 25 is a combination of symbols that have nothing to do with the winning symbol and the reach symbol, for example, 3
It is a combination pattern such as "4/8/3" which is different from the individual.

Reach random numbers, moving random numbers, and out-of-range random numbers are set in the other blocks in accordance with the numbers shown in FIG. For example, reach random numbers and moving random numbers of 00 block and 02 block are as shown in FIG.

When the random number from the random number processing means 31 is a hit random number, the image control means 33 extracts the hit image from the image display table and causes the image display means 18 to display the hit image. The reach image is sometimes displayed, and the out-of-range image is displayed when the random number is out of order. When the reach random number, based on the reach image at the time of the first reach random number is generated, the reach image is extracted from the image display table in a specific order, and each image is sequentially displayed on the image display means 18 in that order. Has become.

Next, the control of the pachinko machine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the game, when the operation handle of the launching means 8 is operated, the game balls supplied one by one to the launching position of the launching means 8 are launched along the guide rails 10 to the upper part of the game board 5.
Then, when the game ball enters the starting gate 20, the display symbols of the symbol display portions 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 are changed for a fixed time.

At this time, the control system is started by turning on the power of the pachinko machine or operating the operating handle, and first, each part is initialized (step S1), and the random number generating means 30 starts generating random numbers (step). S2).

Then, when the first game ball enters the starting gate 20 (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). ).

When the block is decided, every time a game ball enters the starting gate 20, random number processing is performed according to the random number processing condition in this block until the moving random number comes out, and the game is advanced. That is, when the determination of the block is finished, first, it is determined whether the random number is a reach random number (step S7), and if the random number is a reach random number, the symbol control means.
32 extracts the reach symbol corresponding to the reach random number from the symbol display table, displays the reach symbol on each symbol display section 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 (step S8), and the image control means 33. Extract the reach image corresponding to the reach random number from the image display table, and display the image.
The reach image is displayed on (step S9).

If the random number is not a reach random number, it is determined whether or not it is a winning random number (step S10). When the winning random number is reached, the symbol design control means 32 extracts a winning symbol corresponding to the winning random number from the symbol display table. Then, the winning symbols are displayed on the respective symbol display portions 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol displaying means 17 (step S11), and the image control means 33 extracts the hit image corresponding to the hit random number from the image display table, and the image The image is displayed on the display means 18 (step S12).

If the random number is neither a hit random number nor a reach random number, it becomes an outlying random number including a moving random number, so the symbol control means 32 extracts the outlying symbol corresponding to the outlying random number from the symbol display table, and the variable symbol. While displaying the deviation symbol on each of the symbol display portions 23, 24, 25 of the display means 17 (step S13), the image control means 33 extracts the deviation image corresponding to the deviation random number from the image display table, and the image display means 18 The off-screen image is displayed on the screen (step S14).

Further, it is judged whether or not the random number is a moving random number (step S15), and if it is a moving random number, it is moved to a block corresponding to the moving random number (step S16). If the block has already been determined when the player enters the starting gate 20 and reads the random number, the process proceeds from step S5 to step S7. Then, the same processing is repeated every time one game ball enters the starting gate 20. When there are no more game balls, the process ends (step S17).

The control operation is performed in this order,
Next, shifting from the out-of-block to the hit block, each symbol display section 23, 2 of the variable symbol display means 17 until hit
The relationship between the stop symbols of 4,25 and the display image of the image display means 18 will be specifically described.

First, when the first game ball enters the starting gate 20, it is assumed that the out-of-block 02 block is temporarily selected. If the random number at this time is, for example, a reach random number of 03, as shown in FIG. 7, the symbol control means 32 causes the variable symbol display means 17 to reach the symbol display parts 23, 24, 25 corresponding to the reach random number of 03. While displaying the symbol "7-7-1" (step S8), the image control means 33 causes the image display means 18 to operate.
The reach image for December corresponding to the reach random number is displayed on (step S9).

Next, if the random number when the game ball enters the starting gate 20 is an out-of-random number, for example, 02, as shown in FIG. 8, the symbol control means 32 displays each symbol of the variable symbol display means 17. Part 23, 24, 25 is a deviation pattern corresponding to 02 deviation random numbers "1
"7.8" is displayed (step S13), and the image control means 33 causes the image display means 18 to display the out-of-ractory image of the raccoon dog corresponding to the out-of-range random number (step S14).

After that, if the outlying random number continues three times, the result shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11, while displaying the deviating symbols such as “6, 3 and 4” on the symbol display portions 23, 24 and 25 of the variable symbol displaying means 17, the deviating image of the flower or the like is displayed on the image displaying means 18. Is displayed. Then, if the third out-of-range random number is a moving random number of 01, each of the symbol display portions 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 is "3.
・ 6,5 "deviation pattern is displayed, and while the image display means 18 displays the deviation image of the flower image, in preparation for the next game ball entering the starting gate 20, the 02 to 01 block hit block (Step S16).

After the shift to the hit block, if the reach random number such as 03, 0A continues, then, FIG. 12 and FIG.
As shown in, each symbol display unit 23,2 of the variable symbol display means 17
The reach symbols “7,7,3” and “7,7,4” are displayed on 4,25 (step S8), and the image display means 18 displays the reach symbols in May,
The reach image for June is displayed (step S9). If the next random number is an outlying random number such as 80, as shown in FIG.
The off symbol "8.6.2" is displayed on each of the symbol display portions 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 (step S13), and the off image of the raccoon dog is displayed on the image display means 18 (step S1).
4).

Further, if the reach random number, the outlying random number, and the reach random number are continued, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, the reach symbol, the out symbol, in the symbol display portions 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17,
The reach patterns are sequentially displayed, and 7 is displayed on the image display means 18.
The month hit image, the raccoon dog image, and the August reach image are sequentially displayed.

After that, when a random number of 01 comes out, as shown in FIG.
As shown in 8, each symbol display section 2 of the variable symbol display means 17
The winning symbol of "7,7,7" is displayed on 3,24,25 (step S11), and the winning image of September is displayed on the image display means 18 (step S12). And when this happens, the opening / closing plate 26 of the big winning means 19 is opened, and the game balls falling from above along the game board 5 easily enter the big winning means 19, and enter the big winning means 19. Prize balls are paid out according to the number of game balls, and a great profit is returned to the player.

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 reach 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 20 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 20.
Each time it is repeated 5 times, 8 times, a random number per hit, a reach random number, and an out-of-random number come out with a predetermined probability. Therefore, each symbol display portion 23, 24, 25 of the variable symbol display means 17 has a winning symbol. ,
The reach symbol, the out symbol, and the hit image, the reach image, and the out image are displayed on the image display unit 18 while being mixed according to a predetermined probability.

In other words, in the 01 block, the probability of becoming a winning symbol immediately is very low at 1/16 as compared with other out-of-range symbols and reach symbols, so in general, it is 11/1.
Among the many outliers displayed with a probability of 6, the reach symbols will be displayed in a specific order in a mixed manner with a probability of 4/16.

Therefore, in the case of 01 block, it cannot be understood that the player has a random number, but "7.
The probability that a reach pattern indicating a reach state such as 7.3 "and" 7/7/4 "and a reach image in May, June, etc. will be large, and each symbol display unit of the variable symbol display means 17 will appear. 23,24,25
Since the appearance of the image of the symbol and the image display means 18 is different from that at the previous time, the player, from the continuation of the display of the variable symbol display means 17 and the image display means 18, the next symbol It is possible to play the game while thinking and predicting, or expecting, etc. while exerting the thinking power, and adding the thinking ability to the game and having an interesting interest.

In particular, in addition to the display of the symbols by the variable symbol display means 17, an image display means 18 is provided, and the hit image, reach image and out-of-focus image directly related to the game contents are displayed by the image display means 18. Therefore, as compared with the case where only the symbol display by the variable symbol display means 17 is performed, the degree of impression to the player is increased, and the interest of the player is increased and improved.

Moreover, since the reach images are displayed on the image display means 18 in a specific order each time a reach random number appears, the reach images have a certain relevance so that the game content has a narrative content. It is also possible to have a game configuration with.

That is, when a game is constructed, the moving rate in simple calculation can be easily determined by the number of moving random numbers moving to other blocks, and each block within the range of the moving rate. The condition of the random number processing in can be arbitrarily determined, and since the reach image can be displayed in the image display means 18 in a specific order every time the reach random number appears, the display image of the image display means 18 in a specific block can be displayed. It is possible to easily add ideas such as giving a story.

Therefore, all the random numbers are divided into a plurality of blocks, and a moving random number is set for each block.
By the combined use of the method of advancing the game according to the processing conditions in each block and the image display method by the image display means 18 until the moving random number comes out, there is a taste for each block or all blocks. It is possible to easily adopt a very interesting game configuration, and it is possible to change the game content itself as compared with the conventional simple random number processing and symbol display.

Furthermore, raising and lowering the moving rate, random number for each,
Depending on how you set random number conditions such as reach random number, moving random number, you can freely set the effect and operate,
It is possible to easily adopt a game composition that is rich in change and has a thought. The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above,
The invention is not limited to the examples.

For example, in the embodiment, the hit image and the reach image displayed on the image display means 18 are unified with the images related to each month, and the images are given seasonality and narrative.
