DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for displaying identification information variably on a plurality of variable display sections, and generating a specific game state advantageous to a player when the display result becomes a predetermined specific display result. The present invention relates to a ball-and-ball game machine having a variable display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a variable display device generally provided in a pachinko game machine as a ball-and-ball game machine variably displays symbols on a plurality of rows of variable display portions, and the display result of each variable display portion is predetermined. When a big hit symbol (specific display result) is reached, a specific game state is generated. Further, such a variable display device has been proposed that selects and executes one of a plurality of reach variation modes when a reach is achieved due to a symbol variation. By setting the reliability (the derivation rate of the specific display result) differently, the interest in the reach fluctuation is excitement. In addition, the variable display device changes the probability of the jackpot determination in addition to the occurrence of the specific game state when a jackpot (derivation of the special display result) is performed with a predetermined probability change symbol (hereinafter, this is referred to as probability variation or probability change). ) That generate a special game state such as playing.

[0003]

By the way, in the variable display device in which the jackpot reliability is set differently for each of the reach variation modes as in the above-mentioned conventional art, the reach in the stochastic pattern (the stochastic reach) and the other normal reach are obtained. And the same jackpot reliability was set. In other words, the jackpot reliability is determined by the type of the reach variation mode regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation reach. However, for a player, there is a big difference in the bonus between a big hit with a probable symbol and a big hit with a normal symbol other than the probable symbol (with or without probabilistic control).
There was a different sense of expectation for the jackpot. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a special display result with respect to a super-reach having a high jackpot reliability or a reach that is likely to be a losing loss such as ± 1 symbol deviation. By setting the reliability in the case (for example, the probability change reach) higher than the reliability in the other cases, it is possible to change the expectation in the case where the special display result can be obtained and to improve the interest of the game. To provide a ball and ball game machine.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display apparatus comprising: a plurality of variable display units for variably displaying identification information; In a ball game machine equipped with a variable display device capable of generating a specific game state advantageous to a player when a specific display result is obtained, when a specific condition is satisfied, one of a plurality of types of reach variation modes is set. Reach variation mode selection means for selecting the variation mode, reach variation control means for controlling the variation of the variable display section based on the variation mode selected by the reach variation mode selection means, and a predetermined variation among the specific display results. Special game generating means for generating a special game state different from the specific game state and advantageous to the player when the special display result is derived. The reliability of the specific display result is set differently for the aspect, and the reliability in the case of the display result including the specific state that can constitute the special display result for the highly reliable reach variation mode is set. The degree is set to be higher than the reliability in the case of a display result including a specific state that can constitute a specific display result other than the special display result. With this configuration, it is possible to change the sense of expectation in a case where a special display result can be obtained (for example, the probability change reach), and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. More specifically, if a super reach (a highly reliable reach variation mode) appears in the reach state of the special display result, it is more likely to be a big hit, so that the super reach reliability is strongly appealing. Can be.

In order to achieve the above object, a solution adopted by claim 2 of the present invention is to variably display identification information on a plurality of variable display portions, and to display the identification information with a predetermined specific display result. In a ball game machine equipped with a variable display device capable of generating a specific game state advantageous to a player when the display result becomes, a display result determination for determining the display result before deriving the display result on the variable display unit Means, a reach variation mode selection means for selecting any variation mode from a plurality of types of reach variation modes when a specific condition is satisfied, and the variable mode based on the variation mode selected by the reach variation mode selection module. A reach variation control means for controlling the variation of the display unit, wherein when the predetermined special display result of the specific display result is derived, the specific game state is different from the specific game state and is advantageous to the player. A special game generating means for generating a special game state, and the display result determined by the display result determining means is a display result other than the specific display result, and a part of the display result is a specific state, the plurality of variable The identification information of the variable display unit that does not constitute a specific state of the display unit is set to at least a distant relationship and a close relationship to the identification information of the specific display result based on the perspective relationship in the arrangement with the identification information of the specific display result. Display result classification means to classify, for the reach variation high appearance rate in the case where the display result classification means classify the closest relationship,
The reliability in the case where the special display result can be obtained is set higher than the reliability in other cases. With this configuration, it is possible to change the sense of expectation in a case where a special display result can be obtained (for example, the probability change reach), and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.
Specifically, in the reach state of the special display result, a reach that tends to be a losing loss such as ± 1 pattern shift (a reach variation mode having the highest appearance rate when the display result classifying means classifies the closest relation) appears. In this case, the reach, which has been lost at the time of the normal reach, tends to be a big hit, so that the gambling of the game can be improved.

The special variable display device 40 shown in FIG. 1 uses a plurality of variable display units (special symbol display units 43 to 45).
The variable display device according to the present invention, which can variably display identification information (special symbols) and generate a specific game state advantageous to a player when the display result becomes a predetermined specific display result (big hit symbol). Constitute one example.

The random numbers 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 6 constitute an example of the display result determining means of the present invention for determining the display result before the variable display section derives the display result.

[0008] Further, when a specific condition is satisfied by the random 6 shown in FIG. 6, any one of the plurality of reach variation modes (reach 1 to 3) is selected. This constitutes an example of the means.

An example of the reach variation control means of the present invention for controlling the variation of the variable display section based on the variation mode selected by the reach variation mode selection means by the symbol variation control shown in FIGS. Is composed.

Further, when a predetermined special display result (probably variable big hit symbol) is derived from the specific display result by the probability change control shown in FIG. 19A, the specific game result is different from the specific game state and is advantageous to the player. This constitutes an example of the special game generating means of the present invention that generates a special game state (probability fluctuation).

In addition, the reach selection tables for non-probable symbols and probable symbols shown in FIGS. 13 (A) and (B) show the reliability of the specific display result for the plurality of types of reach variation modes (reach 1 to 3). The degree is set differently, and the reliability in the case where the special display result can be obtained (probable reach) is set higher for the reach variation mode (reach 3) with higher reliability than in the other cases. The illustrated configuration is illustrated.

Also, in step S4 of the reach selection control shown in FIG.
Alternatively, in S9, when the display result determined by the display result determining means is a display result other than the specific display result and a part of the display result is in a specific state (when a reach loss occurs), the plurality of variable display units The identification information of the variable display unit that does not constitute a specific state is at least distant from the identification information of the specific display result based on the perspective relationship in the arrangement with the identification information of the specific display result (except for ± 1 symbol misalignment). This constitutes an example of the display result classifying means of the present invention, which classifies the display result into a relationship similar to (± 1 pattern shift).

[0013] In addition, according to the reach selection table of non-probable patterns and probable patterns shown in FIGS. 13 (A) and 13 (B), the display result classification means has the closest relationship (± 1 pattern misalignment).
For the reach variation mode (reach 3) having a high appearance rate in the case of classifying into the special display result, the reliability in the case where the display result includes the specific state that can constitute the special display result (probable change reach) is shown in the special display result. The example illustrates a configuration that is set to be higher than the reliability in a case where the display result includes a specific state that can form a specific display result other than the above.

Next, the changing operation of the special symbol by the special variable display device 40 will be described with reference to time charts and explanatory diagrams shown in FIGS. First, the random number used for the variable operation of the special variable display device 40 will be described. In the special variable display device 40, nine types of random numbers as shown in FIG. 6 are used, and these random numbers are random 1 (0 to 24)
9), random 2 for displaying all symbols other than the jackpot (0 to 14 for each of the left, middle, and right symbol columns), random 3 for the jackpot symbol arrangement (0 to 14), and reach operation Random 6 (0-19), Random 7 (0-14) for temporary stop display (pause of reach notice), Random 8 (0.1) for big hit notice (at big hit), Big hit notice Random 9 (0-497) for (losing), Random 10 (0.1) for reach announcement (when there is reach), and Random 11 (0-25) for reach announcement (when there is no reach)
And is composed of Random 1.3.7.11
Is a random number that is added and changed by 1 every 0.002 seconds, and random 2 and 6 are each added by 1 every 0.002 seconds and added by 1 to the remaining time of interrupt processing. Is a random number that fluctuates. In this embodiment, two random numbers are used for the jackpot announcement and the reach announcement, respectively.
The present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which one random number is provided for each of the jackpot notice and the reach notice may be adopted. For example, one random number of “0-497” is provided for a jackpot notice, and a jackpot notice is executed with a value of “0-248” at the time of a jackpot, while a jackpot notice is executed with a value of “1” at a loss. You may do so. In addition, the "big hit notice" and "reach notice" in this embodiment are not premised on the fact that a big hit or a reach is always made, but are defined as those that notify that a big hit or a reach is likely. ing. In other words, even if a big hit notice is given, a losing may occur, and even if a reach notice is given, there may be no reach.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the value extracted from the random 1 is "3", it is determined that the hit is a big hit, the big hit symbol and arrangement are determined by the random 3, and the special variable display device 40 It is displayed on the symbol display sections 43 to 45.
On the other hand, when the value extracted from the random 1 is other than “3”, it is determined that the symbol is out of place, and the symbols based on the value extracted in the random 2 are taken out as symbols, and each of the special symbol display sections 43 to 45 of the special variable display device 40. To be displayed. Also, when the value extracted by random 2 coincides with the big hit symbol by chance, 1 is added to the random 2 data for the middle symbol row, and it is displayed as a missing symbol. In addition, at the time of probability fluctuation (at the time of high probability), “3.77.97.90.3” in random 1
The value of “07” is a random number for determining a big hit.

As shown in FIG. 8A, when the random 1 becomes "3" and the big hit is determined (normal time), the big hit is then determined by the random 8 as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not to execute a notice. When the value extracted from the random 8 is other than “1” (“0”), the jackpot announcement is not performed, and when the value extracted from the random 8 is “1”, the jackpot announcement is performed. On the other hand, when the random number 1 is other than “3” and it is determined that the random number is off, it is next determined whether or not to execute the big hit notice by the random number 9. Then, when the value extracted from the random 9 is other than “1”, the jackpot announcement is not performed, and when the value extracted from the random 9 is “1”, the jackpot announcement is performed.

As shown in FIG. 8 (B), the flow for determining the presence or absence of the reach announcement is a case where the random 1 is "3" and the big hit is determined (normal time), and a case where the random 1 is other than "3". If it is determined that there is a reach and there is a reach, it is next determined whether or not to execute a reach announcement by random 10. When the value extracted from the random number 10 is other than “1” (“0”), the reach announcement is not performed,
When the value extracted from the random 10 is “1”, the reach announcement is performed. On the other hand, if the random 1 is other than “3” and it is determined to be out and there is no reach, then the random 11
It is determined whether or not to execute the reach announcement. When the value extracted from the random 11 is other than “1”, the reach announcement is not performed, and when the value extracted from the random 11 is “1”, the big hit announcement is performed. FIG. 8B
In the case of the reach announcement in the flow of (1), a temporary stop symbol in the right symbol is determined by random 7. However, if the left symbol and the temporary stop symbol match, "1" is selected from random 7
Is subtracted to forcibly perform a control in which the temporary stop symbol does not match the reach symbol. As a result, the reach notification is always performed using a pattern other than the reach symbol, and the gambling is improved. In addition, in the flow of FIGS. 8A and 8B, at the time of probability fluctuation (at the time of high probability), the value of “3, 7, 79, 103, 107” in the random 1 is the same as in the flow of FIG. Is a random number for determining the jackpot.

Next, the reliability of the above-mentioned jackpot notice and reach notice will be described with reference to FIG. The reliability (%) of the big hit notice is calculated from the following formula (1).

Reliability of the jackpot notice (%) = (/ (+)) × 100 (1): Probability of a jackpot after a jackpot notice = “Ratio of jackpot determination value in random 1” × “jacket in random 8” Proportion of advance decision value ”: Probability of losing due to a big hit notice =“ Ratio of loss decision value in random 1 ”ד Ratio of big hit preview decision value in random 9 ”And the specific values are shown in FIG. As shown, = (1/250) × (1/2) = 0.002 = (249/250) × (1/498) = 0.002 For this reason, the reliability of the jackpot notice is as described in (1) above.
Is 50% from the calculation formula. That is, when the big hit notice is given, the big hit is achieved with a probability of 50%.

On the other hand, the reliability (%) of the reach announcement is calculated by the following equation (2).

Reliability of reach notification (%) = (/ (+)) × 100 (2): Probability of reaching reach after reach notification = (“random 1
+ (“Ratio of loss determination value in random 1” × “Reach probability”)) ×
"Ratio of reach announcement decision value in random 10":
Probability that reach will not be achieved by reach announcement = ("Ratio of loss determination value in random 1" x "probability of not reaching reach") x "Ratio of reach announcement determined value in random 11" As shown in FIG. 9, = ((1/250) + (249/250) × (1/15)) × (1/2) = 0.0352 = (249/250) × (14/15) × ( (1/26) ≒ 0.0358. For this reason, the reliability of the reach announcement is as described in (2) above.
Is 49.6% from the calculation formula. That is, when the reach notification is performed, the reach is achieved with a probability of 49.6%. As described above, in the present embodiment, by setting the jackpot notice and the reach notice, the sense of expectation for the jackpot and the reach is improved.

The specific fluctuation of the special symbol is as shown in the time charts of FIGS. The left, middle, and right symbol columns are changed based on the pattern shown in FIG. The fluctuation pattern A is a fluctuation of acceleration → constant speed → deceleration, the fluctuation pattern B is a constant fluctuation of 20 mS per step, and the fluctuation pattern C is 20 mS per step → 24 mS → 26 mS. Then, the variation becomes a constant speed of 28 ms finally, and the variation pattern D is 28 ms per step.
Is a constant variation of First, in FIG. 10, when a hit ball wins in the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 4 and the starting ball detector 7 (described as "starting port winning" in the figure) is turned on to derive a starting signal, the starting signal is derived. At the time of rising, a random number is extracted from random 1 and 3, and these are stored. The timing of extracting the random numbers 1 and 3 is the same even when the start memory is used. Thereafter, when a very short time (0.132 seconds) elapses from the derivation of the start signal, the stored value of random 1 is read out to determine a hit or miss, and at the same time, random 2 is extracted. At this time, when the loss is determined from the value of random 1, random 9/11 is extracted and stored. On the other hand, when a big hit is determined from the value of the random 1, the stored random 3 is read out, and the random 8.10 is extracted and stored. Thereafter, 0.134 to 0.150 seconds after the derivation of the start signal, if the reach becomes due to the extraction of random 1.2,
Random 6 is extracted. At this time, in the case of a loss, the stored random data 9/11 is read, while in the case of a big hit, the stored random data 8/10 is read. When the reach is announced, random 7 is extracted at this time.

Thereafter, when 0.190 seconds elapse from the derivation of the start signal, the fluctuation of the left symbol is started in the fluctuation pattern A, and when 0.192 seconds elapse from the derivation of the start signal, the fluctuation of the middle symbol is detected in the fluctuation pattern A. Start (see FIG. 11),
Further, when 0.194 seconds elapse from the derivation of the start signal, the right symbol starts to fluctuate in the fluctuation pattern A. Then, when 6.300 seconds elapse from the start of the change, the left symbol is set one symbol before the stop symbol, the symbol is varied in the variation pattern B for 0.160 seconds, and then the symbol is stopped and displayed. For the right symbol without the reach notice, when 6.460 seconds elapse from the start of the change, set the five symbols before the stop symbol, fluctuate in the fluctuation pattern B for 0.800 seconds, and then stop display the symbol. . For the right symbol with the reach notice, when 6.460 seconds elapse from the start of the change, the symbol is set five symbols before the temporarily stopped symbol, and the symbol is changed in the variation pattern B for 0.800 seconds and then temporarily stopped. Then, after temporarily stopping for 0.480 seconds as reach notification, the display is stopped and changed again in the fluctuation pattern B for 0.160 to 2.400 seconds.

As shown in FIG. 11, for the middle symbol which is the final stop symbol, in a case other than the reach, when 7.260 seconds elapse from the start of the change, the symbol 5 symbols before the stop symbol is set. After the pattern is changed in the change pattern B for 0.800 seconds, the symbol is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, for the middle symbol in Reach 1, after the variation in variation pattern A, 5 symbols before the symbol in reach are set and set to 0.800.
Fluctuating with fluctuation pattern B for 3.5 seconds,
6. The symbol is stopped and displayed by varying the variation pattern D for 720 seconds. In addition, for the middle symbol in the reach 2, after the variation in the variation pattern A, 5
The symbol is set in front and set to change in the change pattern B for 0.800 seconds, and thereafter, the pattern is changed to change in the change pattern D for 6.944 to 10.080 seconds, and the symbol is stopped and displayed. Also,
For the middle symbol in Reach 3, after the variation in the variation pattern A, set 5 symbols before the reach symbol and vary it in the variation pattern B for 0.800 seconds.
3. The symbol is temporarily stopped by varying the variation pattern D for 360 seconds. After that, the frame is temporarily stopped for 0.300 seconds, and then the frame change is repeated in which the symbol change for 0.400 seconds and the temporary stop for 0.300 seconds are alternately performed. The symbols are stopped and displayed in the display.

In each of the left, middle, and right symbol fluctuations described above, when the probability fluctuation (high probability) occurs, the fluctuation pattern A
At 2.160 seconds, 3.120 seconds, respectively.
2. Reduce to 320 seconds. In the case of giving a jackpot notice, the start of fluctuation of each of the left, middle, and right symbols is determined as 2.190 seconds, 2.192 seconds, 2.19 seconds from the derivation of the start signal.
The delay is set to 4 seconds, and at the same time, lighting or blinking of various lamps (drum lamps 43d, 44d, 45d, etc.) is controlled. The notification mode of the jackpot notice is not limited to the one described in the embodiment. For example, the jackpot notice may be notified by changing only the pattern variation mode from the normal mode or performing only lamp decoration. Also, the reach announcement is not limited to the temporary stop of the right symbol described in the embodiment. In the present embodiment, the state (reach 1 to 3) in which there is a possibility of a big hit at the stage when a symbol other than the final stop symbol (middle symbol) is determined is set as the reach state (fluctuation), but is not limited thereto. Not something.
For example, a state in which all symbols fluctuate in synchronization may be a reach state. Further, in the case where the big hit is determined by displaying the character symbol, the reach state may be determined according to the degree of change in the display mode of the character symbol.

Next, the above-described selection control of the various reach 1 to 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14, in the processing process of the reach selection control, first, it is determined whether or not the reach operation is a reach by a stochastic symbol (a stochastic reach) (S1). If it is determined in S1 that it is not a certainty change reach (a specific state that can constitute a special display result), then it is determined whether or not the display result determined before derivation is a big hit symbol with a start winning (S1).
2). If the display result is determined to be a big hit symbol in S2,
The reach selection is performed by using the hit selection table for the big hit other than the probability variation symbol (S3). On the other hand, when the display result is determined to be a deviated symbol in S2, it is next determined whether or not the deviated symbol is a deviation of ± 1 symbol from the big hit (S4). If it is determined in S4 that there is a ± 1 symbol deviation, reach selection is performed using a loss reach selection table for ± 1 symbol deviations other than the positively-variable symbols (S5). on the other hand,
If it is determined in S4 that it is other than ± 1 symbol deviation, reach selection is performed using a loss reach selection table other than ± 1 symbol deviation other than the probable variation symbol (S6).

If it is determined in step S1 that the reach is certain, then it is determined whether or not the display result determined before derivation is a big hit symbol with the start winning (S7). When the display result is determined to be the big hit symbol in S7, the reach is selected by using the hit selection table for the big hit of the surely changing symbol (S8). On the other hand, when the display result is determined to be the off symbol in S7, it is next determined whether or not the off symbol is a ± 1 symbol deviation from the big hit (S9). If it is determined in S9 that there is a ± 1 symbol deviation, the reach selection is performed using the loss reach selection table for the ± 1 symbol deviation of the surely changed symbol (S10). On the other hand, S
If it is determined in step 9 that it is other than ± 1 symbol deviation, reach selection is performed using a loss reach selection table other than the ± 1 symbol deviation of the surely changed symbol (S11).

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 13 (A) and 13 (B), the reach selection tables for the non-probable pattern and the probable pattern are "big hit", "lost (± 1 pattern)", "lost (other than ± 1 pattern)". )), The random number 6 is assigned to the various reach 1 to 3 types. Specifically,
In the reach selection table other than the probable variable pattern shown in FIG. 13A, in the case where the display result is a big hit and the case where the loss is ± 1 pattern deviation, the extracted value of the random 1 in the reach 1 is “18”. .19 "(two random numbers), reach 2 is selected when the extracted value of random 6 is any of" 12 to 17 "(six random numbers), and reach 3 is The extracted value of random 6 is "0-11"
(12 random numbers). In addition, when the display result is a loss other than ± 1 symbol deviation, the extracted value of the reach 1 in the random 1 is “10 to 19”.
Reach 2 is selected when the extracted value of random 6 is any of “3 to 9” (seven random numbers), and reach 3 is selected when random 6 is extracted. It is selected when the extracted value is any of “0 to 2” (three random numbers).

On the other hand, in the reach selection table in the probability change pattern shown in FIG. 13B, when the display result is a big hit, the reach 1 is a random 6 whose extracted value is “19” (one random number). Reach 2 is selected when the extracted value of random 6 is any of “14 to 18” (five random numbers), and reach 3 is selected when the extracted value of random 6 is “0 to 1”.
3 "(14 random numbers).
In the case where the display result is a loss of ± 1 symbol shift, reach 1 is selected when the extracted value of random 6 is any one of “18 · 19” (two random numbers), and reach 2 is extracted of random 6 The reach 3 is selected when the value is any of “12 to 17” (six random numbers), and the reach 3 is selected when the extracted value of the random 6 is any of “0 to 11” (12 random numbers). You. In the case where the display result is a loss other than ± 1 symbol shift, the reach value of the reach 1 is “10” at random.
１９19 ”(10 random numbers), reach 2 is selected when the extracted value of random 6 is any of“ 2-9 ”(8 random numbers), and reach 3 It is selected when the extracted value of the random number 6 is any of “0.1” (two random numbers).

Next, a description will be given of the jackpot reliability for each of the reach 1 to 3 in the probable symbol other than the probable symbol and the probable symbol. The jackpot reliability for each of reach 1 to 3 is calculated from the calculation formula (3) shown below.

Big hit reliability (%) = (/ (++)) × 100 (3): Probability of big hit by appearance of the reach = “distribution rate of random 6 in hit hit selection table for big hit” × “big hit Probability ”: Probability of loss of ± 1 symbol shift due to the appearance of the reach =“ Distribution rate of random 6 in reach selection table for loss of ± 1 symbol shift ”ד Loss probability ”×
“Probability of reach” × “Probability of ± 1 design deviation among loss reach”: Probability of loss other than ± 1 design deviation due to the appearance of the reach = “With loss reach selection table other than ± 1 design deviation” Of random 6 ”ד loss probability ”ד reach probability ”ד ± among loss reach ”
Probability of Being Other than One Symbol Deviation "A specific calculation will be described by taking the reach 3 other than the stochastic variable symbol shown in FIG. 15 as an example. = (12/20) × (1/250) = 0.0024 = (12 / 20) x (249/250) x (1/15) x (3/15) = 0.0000798 = (3/20) x (249/250) x (1/15) x (12/15) = 0.0000798. For this reason, the reliability of the hit 3 of the reach 3 other than the probability variation symbol is 13.1% from the calculation formula of the above (3). The jackpot reliability for each of reach 1 to 3 in the non-probable design and the probable design calculated in the same manner is shown in FIG.
This is as shown in FIG. That is, the hit reliability of reach 1 to 3 other than the probable variable pattern is 1.4% and 5.
0%, 13.1%, reach 1
The jackpot reliability of No. 3 was 0.7%, 3.8% and 1 respectively.
It will be 7.4%. In addition, the total jackpot reliability for each of the reach 1 to 3 is shown below based on the relationship between the set number (10 designs) other than the probable variable design and the set number (5 designs) of the probable variable design among all 15 designs. It is calculated from the calculation formula of (2).

Total jackpot reliability (%) = (× (10/15)) + (× (5/15)) (4): jackpot reliability other than probable variable design: jackpot reliability with probabilistic design Various reach 1 to 1 calculated based on the calculation formula of (4)
The total jackpot reliability for each 3 is 1.2%,
4.6% and 14.5%. Thus, Reach 3
It is a super reach with a high jackpot reliability. In addition, the appearance rates of the various Reaches 1 to 3 on the premise that it is a regrettable loss reach of ± 1 symbol deviation are shown in FIG.
(A) It is calculated from the calculation formula of (5) shown below from the distribution setting of random 6 shown in (B).

Regretful loss rate of appearance (%) = ((× (10/15)) + (× (5/15))) × 100 (5): To “± 1 pattern shift” other than the probable variable pattern Random 6
Distribution rate: Random 6 distribution rate to “± 1 pattern shift” in a probable variable design Various reach 1 calculated based on the calculation formula of this (5)
The unfortunate loss rate of each 3 is 10%,
30% and 60%. As a result, the reach 3 set as the super reach is also a reach that is likely to be a regrettable loss of ± 1 symbol deviation. The appearance rate (%) of each of reach 1 to 3 is ((+
+) / (= Reach probability)) × 100.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the reach 3
Is set as a super reach having a high jackpot reliability, and in the reach 3, in FIG. 13 (A) and FIG.
As shown in the table, the jackpot reliability (17.4%) for the probable variable design is changed to the jackpot reliability for other than the probable design (13.
1%). For this reason, it is possible to give a change in the sense of expectation in the probability change reach, and thus, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Further, as a specific configuration, when a super-reach appears in a reach state of a positively-variable symbol, it becomes easier to make a big hit, so that the reliability of the super-reach can be strongly appealed. Note that the reach 3 is a super reach with the highest reliability and a reach that is apt to be missed with ± 1 symbol shift. For this reason, the reach that was unfortunately lost at the time of normal reach,
It is easy to get a big hit, so the gambling of the game can be improved.

Next, the operation of the special variable display device 40 after the change is completed will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in the case of a combination of big hit symbols as a result of the change, as shown in FIG. 16A, a big hit determination is made 1.500 seconds after the stop of the change of the middle symbol. Then, after 6.000 seconds from the jackpot determination, the special variable winning opening 17 of the special variable winning ball device 15 is opened for 29.500 seconds,
When 2.000 seconds have elapsed since the opening of the special variable winning opening 17, the opening operation of the special variable winning opening 17 is repeated again. After that, when the opening operation of the special variable winning opening 17 ends, if there is a start memory of the special symbol, FIG.
As shown in (B), 1 from the closing of the special variable winning opening 17
After 0.190 seconds, the symbol change starts. In this case, the stored random 1 value is read out and determined 10.132 seconds after the closing of the special variable winning opening 17, and
Random 2 is extracted. At this time, when the big hit is determined, the stored random 3 is read. On the other hand, in the case where there is a special symbol starting memory after the result of the variation is out of the combination of the symbols, as shown in FIG. 16C, when the variation of the middle symbol stops and 1.190 seconds elapse, The fluctuation of each of the left, middle, and right symbol columns is sequentially started. In this case, the value of the stored random 1 is read out and determined, and the random 2 is extracted, 1.132 seconds after the stop of the fluctuation of the middle symbol. At this time, when the big hit is determined, the stored random 3 is read. In addition, in the case of the start of the symbol fluctuation due to the start memory, if a big hit notice is given by the symbol fluctuation, as described above, the fluctuation start time is later than the normal time,
Lamp decoration is performed. Specifically, at the end of the big hit in FIG. 16B, the special variable winning opening 17 is closed to 11.1.
After 90 seconds, the left symbol starts to change. FIG.
After the loss is determined in (C), the middle symbol in the final stop is stopped, and the change of the left symbol is started 2.190 seconds later.

Next, the ordinary symbols displayed on the ordinary symbol display 11 will be described. Normal pattern is Fig.17
As shown in (A), 6 of “0.1.1.3.7.9”
The display time of one symbol is 0.128 seconds.
The display is changed at a cycle (0.768 seconds). For these ordinary symbols, as shown in FIG.
Random 4 (3 to 13) for hit determination, which is incremented by 1 every 0.002 seconds, and normal symbol display, which is incremented by 1 every 0.002 seconds and incremented by 1 for the remaining interrupt processing time And random 5 (0 to 5).
Each random number of random 5 (0-5) is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the symbols are provided corresponding to the respective ordinary symbols of "0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9". Also, random 4 (3 ~
In the extraction of the random number from 13), FIG.
As shown in the figure, when the value of “3” is extracted and it is determined that a hit has occurred, the normal symbol display 11 displays “4” of five random data.
Is displayed, and the normal variable winning ball device 4 is opened for a predetermined time. On the other hand, random "4"
If values other than are extracted and judged to be out of order, random 5
The data is extracted, and the out-of-design corresponding to this value is displayed on the ordinary symbol display 11. In addition, when the value extracted at random 5 happens to be a symbol even though it is determined to be out of order at random 4, that is, the random 5 data is “4”.
In the case of, an out-of-order symbol of “9” corresponding to “5” of the five random data is displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 11. The determination of the data extracted from the random 4 is a case where the hit probability is normal, and when the probability is high, the value extracted from the random 4 is determined to be a hit by any one of “3 to 12”. On the other hand, other values of “13” are determined to be out of order.

Next, FIGS. 18 (B) to (D) and FIGS. 19 (A) to 19 (D) show the fluctuation operation of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display 11 described above.
A description will be given based on each time chart of FIG. First,
In FIG. 19 (B), when the passing ball detector 10 (in the figure, it is described as passing through a normal symbol gate) is turned on, the random number 4 is extracted and stored at the same time. afterwards,
Predetermined time (0.002 seconds) from ON of passing ball detector 10
, The stored random 4 is read and determined, and the random 5 is extracted. Then, 0.004 seconds after the passing ball detector 10 is turned on, 27.008
The symbol usually fluctuates for seconds. In addition, the fluctuation time of such a normal symbol (27.008 seconds) is at the time of low probability, and at the time of high probability, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is reduced to 5.120 seconds.

If the passing ball detector 10 has a passing memory after the normal symbol comes off due to the above-mentioned fluctuation, as shown in FIG. 18B, the normal symbol is stopped for 1.002 seconds. The random number 4 stored later is read out and determined, and the random number 5 is extracted. Then, the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol is started 1.004 seconds after the stop of the ordinary symbol. On the other hand, when the ordinary symbol is hit at the time of low probability, as shown in FIG. 18C, the ordinary variable winning ball device 4 (in FIG. ) Is released for 0.500 seconds, and 0.002 seconds after the normally variable winning prize ball device 4 is closed, the stored random 4 is read out and determined, and the random 5
Is extracted. If the passing ball detector 10 has a passing memory, the normal variable winning ball device 4 is closed 0.0
After 04 seconds, the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol starts again. In addition, when a normal symbol is hit at the time of high probability, FIG.
As shown in (D), the normal variable winning prize ball device 4 (described as a normal variable winning opening in the figure) was opened for 2.000 seconds and then closed for 4.000 seconds at the same time as the stop of the normal symbol. Thereafter, the normal variable winning ball device 4 is opened again for 2.000 seconds. If there is a passage memory of the passing ball detector 10, 0.0 is counted from the closing of the second ordinary variable winning prize ball device 4 for the second time.
After 02 seconds, the stored random 4 is read and determined, and the random 5 is extracted.
Two seconds later, the normal symbol starts to change again.

Next, the operation in which the probability of hitting the special symbol and the ordinary symbol fluctuates will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 19 (A), each of the special symbol display sections 43 to 43 of the special variable display device 40 (described as a condition device in FIG. 19).
When a jackpot symbol having any of the probable symbols “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” is derived at 45, the probabilistic control is executed based on this. The specific control of the probability variation is to change the probability to a high probability upon the end of the specific game state (operation of the condition device) by the probable change symbol, and then, when the next specific game state occurs, Return the hit probability to the normal probability. The end probability and the occurrence of the specific game state as described above (not particularly limited to the end time and the occurrence time, but related to the occurrence or the end of the specific game state) repeat the fluctuation of the hit probability again to obtain the total. Two times of probabilistic control are performed. Further, in such a probability change control, when a large hit is made again with the probability change symbol during the probability change, the probability change control is newly performed twice after the big hit.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the jackpot reliability is set differently for each of the reach 1 to 3 and the reach of the reach 3 during the reach of the probable design is greater than that of the reach other than the probabilistic design. High reliability is set.
For this reason, it is possible to give a change in the sense of expectation in the probability change reach, and thus, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Reach 3 to improve the jackpot reliability during the probable reach
Is the most reliable super reach and ±
It is a reach that is easy to lose one pattern shift. For this reason, at the time of probable change reach, it is possible to strongly express the sense of expectation for the super reach, and furthermore, the reach that has been lost at the time of the normal reach is likely to be a big hit, thereby improving gambling.

In the above-described embodiment, the type of the loss reach is divided into two types, that is, the reach of ± 1 pattern shift and the reach of other types, and the reach of ± 1 pattern shift is a regrettable loss reach. It is not limited to.
The reach such as ± 2 pattern shift may be a regrettable reach, or the losing reach may be divided into three or more types. The regrettable lose reach does not necessarily have to be a highly reliable reach. In the embodiment, the reach (reach 3) for sequentially stopping and displaying the three symbols is a reach that is likely to be losing, and other symbols (two symbols on the left and right) have already been determined as reach symbols. However, it is possible to emphasize a more regretful loss, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a reach that synchronously fluctuates the three symbols may be a reach that easily becomes a regrettable loss. In addition, the super reach (reach 3), which has a high jackpot reliability, is combined with the reach that tends to cause losing. There is no need to combine That is, it is sufficient that the reliability of the big hit of the super reach or the losing reach is improved at the time of the probability change reach. Also,
As a configuration for emphasizing such a regretful loss, it is possible to further emphasize the regrettable feeling by setting the fluctuation time of the reach to be long or by temporarily stopping and displaying the symbol again.

In the above embodiment, the reach selection table shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B is used in order to make the reach 3 a super reach. The reach 3 may be set to the super reach by using, for example, the reach selection table shown in FIG. 20 or FIG. 21 without limitation. In other words, in the reach selection tables of FIGS. 13A and 13B, a large hit random number (random 6) is assigned to reach 3 and a small number of loss random numbers are assigned to reach 3, thereby increasing the jackpot reliability. Although the setting is made, as shown in FIG. 20, the random numbers for the loss are equally distributed, while the random numbers for the big hit are distributed to the reach 3 more frequently, or the random numbers for the big hit are equally distributed as shown in FIG. On the other hand, by allocating a small number of random numbers for the loss to the reach 3, it is possible to set the reliability of the big hit to be high. In the reach selection tables of FIGS. 13A and 13B, the reach 3 is set to the highest reliability, and the reach 3 is set to the super reach. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the reliability of the reach 3 may be set to a value other than the highest in any one of the reach selection tables for non-probable designs and probable designs. That is, the reach 3 can be made a super reach by setting the highest hit reliability as a total with respect to the reach 3. In addition, in the same manner as for the distribution of random 6 for setting a regretful loss reach, the distribution of random 6 to “± 1 symbol deviation” is set the most in any of the reach selection tables of the non-probable pattern and the probable pattern. There is no need to perform this, as long as it is a terrible losing reach as a total of non-probable designs and probable designs.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 22A to 22C, "big hit", "losing (± 1 pattern)", "losing (± 1
(Other than symbols) ", the various reach 1 to 3 may be selected using the respective reach selection tables. The reach selection table further subdivides the distribution of random numbers 6 by setting the presence or absence of “reach notice” and “big hit notice”. Further, in this reach selection table, the reliability of the probable variable design is set higher than the reliability of the non-probabilistic design, and the reliability of the reach announcement and the jackpot announcement (the present existence) is determined by the reach announcement without the advance notice. It is set higher than the reliability of no big hit notice. This makes it possible to further increase the reliability of the jackpot when there is a reach announcement or a jackpot announcement in the probability change reach.

Although the calculation formula shown in FIG. 15 is used to calculate the reliability, the present invention is not limited to the case where the reliability is obtained from this calculation formula. In addition, as a method of setting the reliability high, there are a method of reducing only the number of reach selection tables of the loss, a method of increasing only the number of reach selection tables of the big hit, a method of reducing the number of reach selection tables of the big hit, and the reach of the big hit. Any method may be used for increasing the number of tables. In the above embodiment,
The reach that improves the reliability by the probability change reach is the reach 3 with the highest reliability (the most likely loss), but is not limited to this. For example, if the reach is 5
There are types, and among the two types of reach with the highest reliability, the reliability in the probability change reach is improved, and only the reach with the second highest reliability is improved in the probability change reach. It may be something. Further, the variation mode of the reach is not limited to the above embodiment, for example,
It may be one that stops and fluctuates one symbol at a time.

The embodiments described above do not limit the present invention, and various changes can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, a special variable display device for changing a special symbol is configured by a rotating drum, but is not particularly limited to this, and may be a CRT, an LCD, an LE, or the like.
It is also possible to use a display device such as D, VFD, EL, or plasma, or a roof type or belt type. In addition, as a configuration of the ball-and-ball game machine, the change of the identification information on the variable display device is started in accordance with the detection of the winning ball of the starting ball detector, and when the identification information has a predetermined display result, a specific game state occurs. A ball game machine (commonly referred to as a first type) that opens a variable winning ball device is illustrated as an example, but is not particularly limited to this, and is associated with detection of a winning ball by a starting ball detector. The variable display device starts changing the identification information, and when the identification information has a predetermined display result, a right generation state occurs. In this state, when a ball is hit in a specific area, a specific game state occurs. (This is commonly referred to as a third type). That is, a ball game machine equipped with a variable prize ball device that starts changing the identification information on the variable display device in accordance with the detection of a hit ball by the starting ball detector and operates when the identification information has a predetermined display result. (For example, commonly including general electric roles). Further, the entire ball game machine is constituted by a display device such as an LCD display, that is, the components such as "hitting ball" and "variable winning ball device" are displayed on the display device in a simulated manner. Can also be configured. In this case,
The payout of the prize balls may be performed on behalf of the points.

Further, in the embodiment, the special game state is the probability fluctuation control of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the game control that is advantageous to the player is the special game state, Good. For example, time reduction control or probability variation control for a special symbol or ordinary symbol, extension control of the opening period of an electric utility (for example, an ordinary variable prize ball device), or setting of a starting passage area for a special symbol or ordinary symbol. Additional control (for example, control to change the setting of a normal winning opening as a starting winning opening of a special symbol), increase control of the number of winning balls (for example,
Control for increasing the number of prize balls accompanying the winning from normal 13 to 15) or control for improving the passing rate to a predetermined area (for example, providing a ball regulating device upstream of the starting winning opening to control the ball) The control for improving the start winning rate by the operation of the device) can be set to a special game state. Further, when the present invention is applied to the third type, the control for improving the winning rate to a specific area is performed in the special game state. It may be. It goes without saying that a special game state can be set by combining the above game controls. Further, the timing of entry into and exit from the special game state is not limited to those described in the present embodiment.
That is, random numbers, game histories (for example, time, number of reach, number of prize or pass to a predetermined winning opening, etc.), prize or pass to a specific area, sub game (for example, a game that can be selected by the player himself in Janken etc. ) As long as any one or any combination of the four elements is set as the entry trigger or the termination trigger. In the case where the satisfaction of the predetermined condition is a random number, in addition to the configuration of the present embodiment, a display other than the variable display device is provided as a display for determining occurrence of a special game state, and a special display based on the display result of the display is provided. Whether or not a game state has occurred may be determined. In the present embodiment, the satisfaction of the condition (specific condition) for the reach operation is determined by:
It is defined as a time of a big hit and a time when the left and right symbols are aligned at the time of a loss, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, regardless of the display result, the reach operation is performed based on a random number (for example, when “7” is extracted from “0 to 9”) or a game history (for example, when the number of losing starts reaches 10 times after reaching). May be determined. Also, in the case of a configuration in which the reach operation is performed in the case of a big hit in which the left, middle, and right symbols are aligned and a part in which the symbols are not aligned as in the present embodiment, a part of the loss is performed. Can be as shown below.

When the symbols stop in the order of left, right, and middle, and the left and right symbols are the same symbol (including 5 lines and 8 lines). After the left symbol stops first, the middle right symbols are simultaneously displayed. Stop, when the middle right symbol is the same symbol (including 5 or 8 hit lines) When the reach operation is determined by random numbers (when the finally stopped symbols do not match at all, or when reach is forcibly stopped) When a specific loss pattern is used except for the case where
Uneven part when changing all rotations in 5 lines) When the reach operation is determined in the game history (for example, when reach is not selected continuously for 10 rotations (symbol change 10 times), the next rotation (symbol change) In the case where the reach operation is forcibly performed in step (1), any one of the above (1) may be set as a setting element or may be arbitrarily combined.

The reach variation mode in the present invention is as follows.
Without being limited to those described in the embodiment (reach 1 to 3),
What is necessary is just the thing of the following definition. "Reach fluctuation mode" ... Derivation of specific display result (big hit)
Fluctuations that can differentially improve the expectation of The specific reach fluctuations include the following.

The left and right symbols stop in the same manner as a normal loss, and the mode in which the fluctuation time is long only in the middle symbol (including those in which the stop and the direction of change are temporarily changed) is determined only for the left symbol and slowly synchronized with the middle right symbol. (Symbol fluctuation) mode Synchronous rotation (symbol fluctuation) in a state where all the symbols are aligned (In this case, also includes a mode in which only the left and right symbols are aligned and stopped, or all symbols are stopped without being aligned) High-speed rotation ( The pattern change is performed for a long time, and the pattern suddenly stops (in this case, only the left and right symbols stop together,
The left and right symbols are temporarily stopped (for example, swinging up and down in the stopped state), and all symbols are synchronously rotated when a big hit (or loss) may be made from that state. Aspect Further, the specific state in the present invention is not limited to the specific state described in the embodiment (a state in which the right and left symbols are aligned), and may have any of the following definitions. "Specific state" ... If there are three or more variable display parts,
This is a state in which a specific display result may be obtained based on the identification information of at least two variable display units. In the case where there are two variable display units, the specific display result may be obtained except for the identification information of one variable display unit. There are the following conditions as specific specific conditions.

A state in which the left and right symbols are the same in the stop order of left, right, and middle. The rotation in which the middle and right symbols stop at the same time after the left symbol stops first (symbol change), and the middle and right symbols are the same symbol. When "7.7" is a big hit in two symbols, "7" stops at one of them. When the number of display units is four or more, at least two display units have the same symbol. When the number of display units is three or more, at least two of the display units do not have the same design, but can constitute a part of the big hit design (almighty design and any design). The resulting identification information is, for example, "7.7.7" in the stop order of left, middle, and right in the case of a big hit and "7" in the right symbol, and "7.7.A" in the case of a big hit. Is "A" in the right symbol.

The following can be grasped from the embodiments described above. (1) A specific prediction notifying means for predictively notifying the derivation of the specific display result (big hit notice) is provided. With this configuration, it is possible to improve the player's expectation of the big hit. (2) A specific state prediction notifying unit for predictively notifying (reaching notice) of the specific state is provided. With this configuration, the player's expectation of the reach can be improved.

As is apparent from the above description, in the configuration according to the first aspect of the present invention, the identification information is variably displayed on the plurality of variable display sections, and the display result is a predetermined identification information. In a ball game machine equipped with a variable display device capable of generating a specific game state advantageous to a player when a display result is obtained, when a specific condition is satisfied, one of a plurality of types of reach variation modes is selected. A reach variation mode selection unit that selects a variation mode; a reach variation control unit that controls variation of the variable display unit based on the variation mode selected by the reach variation mode selection unit; and a predetermined variation among the specific display results. Special game generating means for generating a special game state different from the specific game state and advantageous to the player when the special display result is derived, wherein the plurality of types of reach In the case where the reliability of the specific display result is set differently for the dynamic mode, and the display result includes the specific state that can constitute the special display result for the highly reliable reach variation mode. The reliability is set to be higher than the reliability in the case of a display result including a specific state that can form a specific display result other than the special display result. With this configuration, it is possible to change the sense of expectation in a case where a special display result can be obtained (for example, the probability change reach), and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Specifically, the super reach in the reach state of the special display result (reach fluctuation mode with high reliability)
Appears, it becomes easier to hit the jackpot, and the reliability of the super reach can be strongly appealed.

In the configuration according to the second aspect of the present invention, the identification information is variably displayed on the plurality of variable display portions, and it is advantageous for the player when the display result becomes a predetermined specific display result. In a ball game machine equipped with a variable display device capable of generating a specific game state, display result determination means for determining the display result before the variable display unit derives the display result, and a specific condition is satisfied. A reach variation mode selection means for selecting any variation mode from among a plurality of types of reach variation modes; and a reach for controlling the variation of the variable display unit based on the variation mode selected by the reach variation mode selection module. A variation control means for generating a special game state different from the specific game state and advantageous to the player when a predetermined special display result is derived from the specific display result; When the display result determined by the separate game generating means and the display result determining means is a display result other than the specific display result and a part of the display result is in a specific state, the specific state of the plurality of variable display portions is Display result classifying means for classifying the identification information of the variable display unit which does not constitute at least a distant relationship and a near relationship with respect to at least the identification information as the specific display result based on the perspective relationship in the arrangement with the identification information as the specific display result With respect to the reach variation mode having a high appearance rate in the case where the display result classifying means classifies into the closest relationship, the reliability in the case where the special display result can be obtained is regarded as the reliability in other cases. It is characterized in that it is set higher than that. With this configuration, it is possible to change the sense of expectation in a case where a special display result can be obtained (for example, the probability change reach), and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Specifically, in the reach state of the special display result, a reach that tends to be a losing loss such as ± 1 pattern shift (a reach variation mode having the highest appearance rate when the display result classifying means classifies the closest relation) appears. In this case, the reach, which has been lost at the time of the normal reach, tends to be a big hit, so that the gambling of the game can be improved.
