Next, the operation of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described. When the power switch (not shown) is turned on, the control circuit 51 starts executing the "loose reach number display program" at step 60 shown in FIG. 7, and initializes the leach reach number R and other various variables at step 61. Perform processing. And step 62
At, the probability counter Ia, the big hit symbol counter Ib, the missing symbol area counter IIa, the missing reach symbol counter IIb, and the missing symbol counter IIc start counting from 0, and each numerical value is repeatedly counted up.
At the same time, the control circuit 51 starts the execution of the "off-reach number display program" at step 90 shown in FIG. 9, and at step 91 initializes the number of stored winning opening winning prize N and other various variables. And the firing handle 23
The game is started by the operation of, and the launched game ball passes through the guide rail 13a and is supplied into the game area 11a.

The control circuit 51 causes the step 63 shown in FIG.
In step 64, the memory number N for starting winning a prize is read, and it is determined in step 64 whether the number N for starting winning a prize memory is N = 0. Since N = 0 at this time, the program moves to step 65 on the basis of the judgment of "YES", and the game ball is either starting opening 1
It is determined whether or not the player has won a prize in 6, 17b, 17c. When the game ball wins in one of the starting openings, it receives an input signal from the starting opening switches 16a, 17b1 and 17c1,
The control circuit 51 moves the program to step 66 based on the determination of "YES", and outputs a symbol variation start signal. In response to this, the special symbol display unit 14a starts the scroll display of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol in each of the left, middle, and right display areas based on the symbol map. At the same time, in step 67, the value X of the probability counter being counted up is read.
In step 68, the timer starts counting time, and in step 69
At, it is determined whether the time t0 has elapsed. When the time t0 has elapsed, the program is moved to step 70 based on the judgment of "YES", and it is judged whether or not the read value X of the probability counter corresponds to the big hit. Since it is normally out, the program is moved to step 72 based on the judgment of "NO" in step 71, and the value H of the off symbol area counter IIa at that time is read. Next,
In step 73, it is determined whether or not the value H is the outlier symbol area 1 which is the outreach. Normally, since it is not an outlying reach, the program is moved to step 75 based on the determination of "NO" at step 74, and a predetermined outlying symbol Hx is selected from the outlying symbol map. Then, in step 76, the variable display of the symbols is stopped in the order of the left and right display areas, and then in step 77, the stopped symbol Hx is displayed on the special symbol display portion 14a.

The control circuit 51 interrupts and executes the "starting mouth winning award memory number display program" during execution of the "out-of-leg reach number display program" shown above, and at a step 92 shown in FIG. Is one of the starting ports 16,
It is determined whether or not 17b and 17c have been won. When the game ball has not won any of the starting openings, "N
Based on the determination of "O", the program is moved to step 94, and it is determined whether or not the special symbol display portion 14a is being variably displayed. When the variable display is not being performed, the program is moved to step 95 based on the determination of "NO", and it is determined whether or not the number N of memory for starting winning a prize is 0. When N = 0, "YE
Based on the determination of "S", the program is returned to step 92, and the processing of steps 92 to 95 is repeated.

When the game ball wins in any of the starting openings, the program is moved to step 93 based on the judgment of "YES" in step 92, and the starting opening winning memory number N is stored.
Is incremented by "1", and the program is moved to step 96 based on the judgment of "NO" in steps 94 and 95. Then, the symbol variation start signal is output, and in step 97, the number N of memory for starting winning a prize is decremented by "1" so that N = 0. Next, in step 98, it is determined whether or not the number N of memory for winning the winning opening is four or more. At the moment, the number of memory for starting winning prize N = 0
Therefore, the program proceeds to step 9 based on the judgment of "NO".
9, the starting mouth winning award memory number display section 14c displays the starting mouth winning award memory number N. Here, in accordance with N = 0 shown in step 97, the lighting display is not performed on the starting port winning prize memory number display portion 14c. Next, at step 100, it is judged if the gaming machine is in the big hit state. Normally, since it is not in the big hit state, the program is returned to step 92 based on the judgment of "NO", and the processing of step 92 and the subsequent steps are performed. Then, when the game ball wins in any of the starting openings during the variable display of the symbols, the program goes to the step 92, the step 93, and then the step 94 to "YES".
Based on the determination that it is, the process proceeds to step 98. Then, in step 98, based on the judgment of "NO", the program is moved to step 99, and one display is lit on the starting port winning award memory number display portion 14c according to N = 1. Further, when the number N of memory for winning the starting opening becomes larger than “4”, step 9
Based on the determination of "YES" in 8, the program is moved to step 101, the number of memory for winning the winning opening is set to N = 4, and at step 102, four lighting displays are displayed on the number of memory for winning winning opening memory 14c. Done. That is, the number of memory for winning the winning opening N
Has a maximum of "4", and even if it exceeds 4, it is 5
The above numbers are being excluded. When the gaming machine enters the jackpot state during the execution of steps 92 to 100, the program is moved to step 103 based on the determination of "YES" in step 100, the execution of the program is terminated, and a new step is executed. Execution from 90 is started.

On the other hand, if the out-reach state is selected in step 73 during execution of the "out-reach-reach-count display program" by the control circuit 51, the program is determined based on the judgment of "YES" in step 74. The process is moved to step 78, and the out-reach number R is incremented by "1". Then, in step 79, a predetermined outlying reach symbol HR is selected from the outlying reach symbol map, and in step 80, the variable display of the special symbol display portion 14a is stopped in the order of the left and right display regions, and then in step 81. The out-reach symbol HR is displayed on the special symbol display portion 14a. Further, in step 82, it is judged whether or not the number of times of the reach reach R is a predetermined number of times R0. At the moment,
Since the number of out-reach reaches R = 1, the program is moved to step 83 based on the judgment of “NO”, and “1” is displayed in the out-reach number display section 14b. When the number R of out-of-range reach increases and becomes equal to the predetermined number R0, the program is moved to step 84 based on the determination of "YES" in step 82, and the number R of out-of-reach reach is increased.
= R0 is set, and in step 85, R0 is displayed on the reach count display section 14b. Even if the out-reach is generated thereafter, the out-reach number is not added and R0 is displayed on the out-reach number display section 14b. The number R of out-of-range reach is a predetermined number R0.
It is also possible to use a specific code in place of R0 in the display after becoming equal to.

When the control circuit 51 is executing the "missing reach number display program", when the symbol variation starts in step 66, the value X read from the probability counter in step 67 is determined to be a big hit in step 70. Based on the judgment of "YES" at step 71, the program is moved to step 86, and the number of out-reach times R
Is reset to 0, and in step 87, "0" is displayed on the reach count display section 14b. Then, when the big hit state ends, the program is returned to step 63 based on the determination of "YES" in step 88, and the processes of steps 63 to 88 are newly restarted as described above.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to easily know the number of out-reach reach, which is a direct guide to the so-called big hit, by displaying the out-reach number display section 14b. The player's motivation for the game can be increased by increasing the expectation for the big hit. When the number of out-of-reach reaches exceeds the predetermined number R0, the out-reach number of times display section 14b displays the predetermined number R0 as it is without further displaying the number of reach, so that the number of out-of-reach reaches R0. There is no risk of extreme selection of gaming machines based only on the criteria, and there is no significant loss to the profits of the pachinko game hall. Then, when the gaming machine is in the big hit state, it is no longer necessary to display the reach count, so the out-reach count R is reset to the initial value 0.

As a modified example of the first embodiment, step 8 of the "missing reach display program" is executed.
By changing the part from 1 to step 85 as shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to keep displaying the out-reach number R of times until it reaches the big hit state.
As a result, the profit on the pachinko game hall side may be slightly impaired, but since the player can know the number R of out-of-range hits until reaching a big hit, the player's willingness to play is further enhanced.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the second embodiment, the control circuit 51 of the electric control device 50 does not store the above-mentioned "missing reach number display program" and "starting mouth winning memory number display program", and instead are shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. The "operating time display program" corresponding to the flow chart is stored, and the control circuit 51 uses the "operating time display program".
Continue to run. Then, the display unit used as the reach count display unit 14b in the first embodiment is replaced with the operation time display unit 14d. The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the above-described first embodiment, and the description is omitted.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment configured as above will be described. When the power switch (not shown) is turned on, the control circuit 51 starts executing the "operation time display program" at step 110 shown in FIG. 11, and at step 111 the operation time stored value A0, the operation stop flag STF and other Performs initialization processing for various variables.
The operation stop flag STF is "0" when the firing handle 23 has not been operated yet, and the firing handle 23 can be operated even once.
The state in which is operated is represented by "1".

Next, when the firing handle 23 is rotated and the firing switch 23a is turned on, the program proceeds to step 11 based on the determination of "YES" at step 112.
Then, the process is moved to 3 and the time counting by the timer is started. And
In step 114, the result measured by the timer is a fixed time,
Here, it is converted every minute, and the conversion result is read as the operation time value A and stored in the storage unit of the control circuit 51.
Next, at step 115, it is judged if the operation stop flag STF is 0 or not. Here, since the operation stop flag STF is 0, the program is moved to step 116 based on the determination of "YES", the operation time value A is set to the display time value AH, and further, in step 118, the operation time display portion 14d.
Is displayed in.

Next, in step 119, a predetermined reference time AK is read out, and in step 120 it is determined whether or not the display time value AH is larger than the reference time AK, that is, the accumulated operating time is the reference time AK. Is determined. The reference time AK is defined as a game time after the last big hit is finished and a time that is useful for predicting the big hit occurrence. At this time, the display time value AH has not reached the reference time AK, so "N
Based on the determination of "O", the program is moved to step 121, and it is determined whether or not the gaming machine is in the big hit state. Since the gaming machine is not in the big hit state yet, the program is moved to step 122 based on the judgment of "NO", and the firing handle 2
3 is returned to the original state and it is determined whether or not the firing switch 23a is turned off. While the firing handle 23 is rotated and the game is continued, the program is returned to step 114 based on the judgment of "NO", and the following step 114
~ The process of step 122 is repeated.

Then, during the game, the player launches the firing handle 2
When the firing switch 23a is turned off by releasing the hand from 3, the program is moved to step 123 based on the determination of "YES" in step 122, the time counting of the timer is stopped, and further in step 124. The display time value AH is stored in the control circuit 51 as the operation time storage value A0, and A0 is displayed on the operation time display portion 14d in step 125. In response to the firing switch 23a being turned off in step 126, the operation stop flag STF is set to "1". Then, in step 127, the firing switch 23
It is determined whether a is on or off, and in step 128, it is determined whether or not a big hit occurs in the off state of the firing switch 23a. When the firing handle 23 is rotated and the firing switch 23a is turned on, in step 127, "Y
Based on the judgment of "ES", the program is moved to step 129, and the occurrence of the big hit is judged. When the jackpot is not yet in the jackpot state, the program is returned to step 113 based on the determination of "NO" in step 129.

Then, as described above, the time counting by the timer is restarted at step 113, and the time counting result by the timer is converted every minute and read as the operation time value A and stored in the storage section at step 114. . Next, step 1
At 15, it is determined whether the operation stop flag STF is 0 or not. Since the operation stop flag STF is set to "1",
Based on the judgment of "NO", the program is moved to step 117, and the value obtained by adding the operation time memory value A0 to the operation time value A is set as the display time value AH, and this display time value AH is operated in step 118. It is displayed on the time display portion 14d.

In the above process, the display time value AH
Is greater than the reference time AK, at step 120, “Y
Based on the determination of "ES", the program is moved to step 130, the time counting by the timer is stopped, and the reference time AK is displayed on the operation time display portion 14d at step 131.
After that, the reference time AK continues to be displayed on the operating time display portion 14d regardless of the elapsed operating time. It should be noted that a specific code may be displayed instead of displaying the reference time AK after the time measurement is stopped.

When the gaming machine is in a big hit state during the above-mentioned game, "YE" is given in step 121 during the game.
Based on the judgment of "S", the program is moved to step 133 and the display time value AH is reset to "0". Also, while the game is suspended with the firing handle 23 returned and the firing switch 23a turned off, "YES" in step 128.
The program is moved to step 134 based on the determination that
The operating time stored value A0 is reset to "0". Also,
When the firing handle 23 is rotated and the firing switch 23a is turned on again, "YES" in step 129.
The program is moved to step 134 based on the determination that
The operating time stored value A0 is reset to "0". Further, when the reference time AK is a big hit in the state where it is displayed on the operation time display portion 14d, the program proceeds to step 13 based on the judgment of "YES" at step 132.
Then, the display time value AH is reset to "0".
Then, when the jackpot state ends, the program proceeds to step 136 based on the determination of “YES” at step 135.
Ends at.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the operating time of the game ball launching device 39, which is the actual operating time of the pachinko gaming machine, which is a direct measure for reaching a big hit, is set as the operating time. Since it can be easily known by the display unit 14c, the player can be more motivated to play the game by increasing the expectation for the big hit. In addition, when the operating time exceeds a predetermined time, the display by the operating time display unit 14d is set to a constant state without further displaying the operating time, so that the gaming machines can be selected based on only the operating time. There is no danger of being extreme,
It does not significantly damage the profits of the pachinko game hall. Then, when the pachinko gaming machine is in the big hit state, it is no longer necessary to display the operating time, so the operating time count result is reset to the initial value.

As a modified example of the second embodiment, the display time value AH of the operation time is changed by changing the steps 118 to 133 of the "operation time display program" as shown in FIG. It is also possible to keep displaying until the big hit state.
As a result, the profit on the pachinko game hall side may be slightly impaired, but the player can know the display time value AH indicating the operating time of the gaming machine until the big hit, so that the player's willingness to play is further enhanced. .

In the above embodiment, the symbol display is performed in units of a set of the three upper, middle, and lower symbol elements, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a single symbol element is displayed as a unit. It may be. Further, the determination of the big hit may be made after the symbol variation is stopped, instead of during the symbol variation as described above. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a so-called first-class pachinko gaming machine having a starting port is described, but it is compared to other types of pachinko gaming machines having a starting port and a passage gate. However, the same can be applied.
