[0007]

The gist of the present invention to achieve the above object lies in the following inventions. [1] A predetermined symbol matching game is executed when a ball hit on the game board surface (11) wins a specific winning opening (12), and a special value advantageous to the player is generated based on the execution result. In the gaming machine (10), a variable display means (20) having a plurality of symbol display areas capable of displaying an arbitrary symbol, and the variable display means (20) when a ball wins in the specific winning opening (12). 20) a first screen game control means (50) for displaying a plurality of predetermined symbols cyclically on each symbol display area and stopping the cyclic display of the symbols while an arbitrary symbol is displayed. When the first screen game control means (50) stops the tour display of the symbols, when the predetermined symbol indicating a win is displayed in the plurality of symbol display areas, the symbols are aligned. Each symbol display area while maintaining the state A cyclic display control means (60) for cyclically displaying the symbol of the symbol for a predetermined period, and a period from when the cyclic display control means (60) starts the cyclic display of the symbol until the symbol stops, in parallel with the above. Display color changing means (7) for repeatedly changing the display color of the symbol on the symbol display area at random
0) and an instruction to change the display color of the symbol again when the display color of the symbol is a predetermined specific color when the display color changing means (70) stops the operation of changing the display color. When a color change instruction receiving means (17) which can be received from a user and an instruction to change the display color again through the color change instruction receiving means (17) are received, the state where the symbols are aligned is maintained. A re-tour display control means (80) for cyclically displaying the symbols in each symbol display area for a predetermined period, and a period from when the re-tour display control means (80) starts the cyclic display of the symbols to when the symbol stops. In parallel with this, when the display color changing means (90) repeatedly and randomly changes the display color of the symbol on the symbol display area, and the display color changing means (70) stops the operation of changing the display color. The display color of the symbol in When the display color changing means (70) stops the operation of changing the display color when the instruction is not received from the player when the display color is not the specific color and when the player stops at the specific color, the display color is not changed again. A special value advantageous to the player is generated in accordance with the display color of the symbol in the above, and when the display color is changed by the display color re-change means (90), the display color of the symbol at the time of the stop is changed. Special value generating means (3) for generating a special value advantageous to the player in accordance with
0), and a game machine (10).

[2] The special value generating means (30) comprises:
When the display color of the symbol when the display color changing means (70) stops changing the display color is the specific color, the player is temporarily given a right to acquire a certain special value, and thereafter, based on an instruction from the player. If the display color at the time of stoppage when the display color is changed again is not a predetermined outlier,
The gaming machine according to [1], wherein a special value having a higher value than the provisionally acquired acquisition right is given to the player, and when the out-of-color color appears, the provisionally acquired acquisition right is maintained or reduced. 10).

[3] The special value generating means (30) comprises:
As a special value to be given to the player, a symbol executed by the first screen game control means (50) when a ball hit on the game board surface (11) next wins the specific winning opening (12). The gaming machine (10) according to [1] or [2], wherein the probability of the state in which the predetermined symbols are aligned in the matching game is set higher than the normal state in accordance with the display color of the final symbol. .

[4] The special value generating means (30) comprises:
As a special value to be given to the player, a symbol executed by the first screen game control means (50) when a ball hit on the game board surface (11) next wins the specific winning opening (12). The probability that the state in which the predetermined symbols are aligned in the matching game is set higher than that in the normal state, and the number of times of forming the state with the higher probability is changed according to the display color of the final symbol. The gaming machine (10) according to [1] or [2].

The present invention operates as follows. The variable display means (20) has a plurality of symbol display areas capable of displaying an arbitrary symbol, and the first screen game control means (50) has a special winning opening (1) on the game board surface (11).
When the ball is won in 2), a plurality of types of symbols are displayed cyclically, and then a symbol matching game for stopping the circular display while any one of the symbols is displayed is performed on the variable display means (20).

For example, the first screen game control means (5
0) displays a number matching game that looks like a slot machine.

[0013] When the first screen game control means (50) stops the cyclic display of symbols, if a predetermined symbol indicating a hit is displayed in the symbol display area, for example, "777" is displayed, the tour is performed. The display control means (60) cyclically displays the symbols again while maintaining the state in which the symbols are aligned.
That is, a cyclic display is performed so that the drum is rotated while the three numbers are always aligned.

The display color changing means (70) repeatedly changes the display color of the symbol in parallel with the cyclic display by the cyclic display control means (60). For example, red, blue, yellow,
The display color of the symbol is changed cyclically in the order of white.

On the front surface of the gaming machine (10), there is provided a color change instruction receiving means (17) composed of a push button or the like, in which the display color changing means (70) stops the operation of changing the display color. In this case, that is, when the cyclic display control operation is stopped by the cyclic display control means (60), when the display color of the symbol is a predetermined specific color, for example, white, an instruction to change the display color of the symbol again is given. Can be accepted from the player.

Upon receiving an instruction to change the display color again when the specific color appears, the recursive display control means (80)
The symbols in each symbol display area are cyclically displayed again over a predetermined period while maintaining the state in which the symbols indicating the hits are aligned as before. In parallel with this, the display color re-change means (9)
0) The display color of the symbol in the symbol display area is repeatedly and randomly changed again.

The special value generating means (30) does not receive an instruction from the player to change the display color again when the display color of the first displayed symbol is not the specific color and when the symbol stops at the specific color. In this case, a special value advantageous to the player is generated according to the display color of the symbol when the display color changing means (70) stops the operation of changing the display color.

For example, when the display color of the symbol is stopped at red, a special value of a high rank is given, when it is blue, a special value of a middle-high rank is given, and when it is yellow, a special value of a middle-low rank is given. In the case of (color), a low-rank special value is temporarily added.

On the other hand, when the instruction to change the display color is made again when the specific color comes out, and the display color of the symbol is changed again,
A special value advantageous to the player is generated according to the display color of the symbol appearing at the time of the stop. That is, when the color that is white as the specific color is changed to red by the color change again, a high-rank special value corresponding to red is given.

As described above, the game in the display color is added in addition to the symbol matching, and when the specific color comes out, the player is made to select whether or not to proceed to the next game. The contents of the game are varied and can excite the thrill and excitement of the player.

Further, when a specific color appears as a display color of the symbol, first, a right to acquire a special value is temporarily given to the player, and when the display color is changed again based on an instruction from the player, If the subsequent display color is not a deviated color, the value of the right to be granted is increased, and if the displayed color is a deviated color, the provisional acquisition right previously granted is left as it is, or is reduced or eliminated. As a result, bargaining properties are generated depending on the game content, and the thrill and excitement of the player can be further evoked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Each drawing shows one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention
0 launches a ball by rotating the handle 14,
This is a pachinko machine that competes for winning balls in various winning openings. Note that the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention can be applied to various game machines that use a ball as a game medium, such as an arrangement ball machine.

The gaming machine 10 has a gaming board surface 11 as a place where a hit ball flows down. The game board surface 11 is provided with a winning opening, various kinds of accessories, obstacle nails, an out opening, and the like. At a substantially central portion of the game board surface 11, a variable display means 20 as a central accessory for displaying a symbol matching game is provided. Here, as the variable display means 20,
A color liquid crystal display is used. In addition, a CRT display or the like can be used as the variable display means 20 as long as the display color can be changed.

The variable display means 20 has three digits of display areas capable of displaying an arbitrary one digit number from 0 to 9 and these display areas are used as a symbol matching game.
A number matching game that looks like a slot machine is displayed.

Below the variable display means 20, a special winning opening 12 generally called a start chucker is provided. The number matching game is executed on the variable display means 20 when the ball hit on the game board surface 11 wins the specific winning opening 12.

Below the specific winning opening 12, a variable winning opening 32 is provided. The variable winning opening 32 is a large winning opening that is normally closed, but repeatedly opens and closes the winning opening when a special value is given to the player. By opening the winning opening of the variable winning opening 32, a state where the winning probability of the ball is high is formed.

At the lower part of the game board surface 11, there is a front plate 15 for holding a ball to be used for the game, and further below the front plate 15
A lower plate 16 is provided for receiving a ball overflowing from the bottom plate.
On the right side of the lower plate 16 is provided a handle 14 for operating the firing of a ball.

A push button switch is provided below the game board 11 as a color change instruction receiving means 17 for receiving an instruction from the player to change the display color of the symbol again. A control circuit for controlling various operations of the gaming machine 10 is mounted on the inside of the machine such as on the back surface of the game board 11.

FIG. 1 shows an outline of a circuit configuration of a gaming machine 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The specific winning opening 12 includes a winning detection switch 13 for detecting a winning ball. The prize detecting switch 13 may be a mechanical switch, an optical sensor that detects a prize when light is blocked by a ball, or a magnetic sensor that detects a change in a magnetic field due to the passage of a ball. it can.

A winning signal 41 output from the winning detection switch 13 when a ball winning is detected is transmitted to the variable display means 20.
Has been input to the first screen game control means 50 for controlling the scrolling operation of the numbers displayed in. The first screen game control means 50 includes a random number generator (not shown),
When the winning signal 41 is input, a random lottery is performed by the random number generator.

In the random lottery performed by the first screen game control means 50, four winning ranks of a high rank, a middle upper rank, a middle lower rank, and a low rank are provided.

The first screen game control means 50 controls the number displayed on the variable display means 20 from the time when the winning signal 41 is inputted by scrolling and continuously changing the number to execute the number matching game. Circuit. The first screen game control means 50 stops the scrolling operation in a state where specific numbers are aligned such as “777” when any of the ranks is hit by random lottery, and when the lottery result is out of order. The scrolling operation is stopped when the numbers are not aligned. During the execution of the number matching game, the background color of the display area is white and each number is displayed in black.

When the execution of the number matching game is completed, the first screen game control means 50 outputs a lottery result signal 42 indicating whether or not the lottery result is a hit and, if so, the rank thereof. The signal 42 is output from the cyclic display control means 60.
And the display color changing means 70.

When the lottery result signal 42 inputted from the first screen game control means 50 indicates any one of the ranks, the tour display control means 60 controls all of the information displayed on the variable display means 20. After performing a scroll operation again for a certain period of time while maintaining the state in which the numbers are aligned, a function of stopping the scroll operation in a state where the original number is displayed is provided.

For example, as a result of the number matching game performed by the first screen game control means 50, "77"
When "7" is displayed on the variable display means 20, the cyclic display control means 60 cyclically changes the number of "777" for a certain period while keeping the same value in three digits, and then changes the number to "77" again.
7 ”is displayed.

The display color changing means 70 sequentially changes the display color of the numbers displayed on the variable display means 20 in parallel with the rotation changing operation of the numbers by the cyclic display control means 60. It is a circuit part having a function. As display colors, four colors of red, blue, yellow, and white are prepared.

Here, the numeral itself is displayed in black, and its background color is changed. Of course, the color of the number itself may be changed, or when displaying a hollow number, the internal color of the number, the background color, or both of them may be changed.

The display color red corresponds to a high rank, blue corresponds to a middle and upper rank, yellow corresponds to a middle and lower rank, and white corresponds to a low rank. After the display color is repeatedly changed at random, the display color circulation operation is finally stopped with the color corresponding to the winning rank indicated by the lottery result signal 42.

When the operation of changing the display color by the display color changing means 70 is stopped, the color change instruction receiving means 17 presses again to receive an instruction to change the display color cyclically from the player. Button switch. The color change instruction receiving means 17 is valid only when the color of the design (background color) is a specific color (here, white) when the operation of changing the display color by the display color changing means 70 is stopped. It becomes possible to receive a re-change instruction from the player for a certain period of time.

When a re-change instruction is input from the color change instruction receiving means 17, the re-circulation display control means 80 again holds the symbols on the variable display means 20 in a state in which the numbers are aligned such as "777". This is a display control circuit that scrolls for a certain period of time. The display color re-change unit 90 changes the display color of the number in parallel with the re-circulation display control unit 80 from the start of the number scroll operation to the end of the operation. This is a circuit that changes cyclically in the same manner as in the above. The display color re-changing means 90 includes a random number generator (not shown) inside, and when starting to change the display color, executes a random lottery by the random number generator and displays the color according to the result. The color changing operation is stopped.

The lottery results include hits of high rank, middle rank, and low rank, and deviations. Red is selected for the high rank, blue for the middle rank, yellow for the low rank, and white for the loss. It is displayed.

The special value generating means 30 comprises a probability changing section 31 for changing the winning probability of the random lottery performed by the first screen game control means 50, and a variable winning opening 32.

The probability changing section 31 is a circuit portion for changing the probability of winning in a random lottery performed by the first screen game control means 50 when a ball wins in the specific winning opening 12 from the next time. That is, the first screen game control means 50 has a function of changing the probability of stopping the scroll operation in a state where the numbers are aligned, such as “777”, in the symbol matching game.

The variable winning opening 32 is closed in a normal state, but has an attacker 33 as a large winning opening which is opened when a special value advantageous to a player is given. The attacker 33 is driven to open and close by a solenoid 34.

The variable winning opening 32 operates so as to repeatedly open and close the attacker 33 which is opened for a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and then closed for a short time (about 2 seconds) when a predetermined gaming state is attained. The initial value of the number of rounds in which the attacker 33 is opened and closed is set to 16 times.

When a predetermined number (for example, 10) of balls are won in each round, the attacker 32 is closed even before a predetermined time has elapsed. This prevents an excessive increase in the number of balls paid out by winning.

The first screen game control means 50, tour display control means 60, display color change means 70, re-tour display control means 80, display color re-change means 90, etc. are the central functions of various controls in the gaming machine 10. CPU (Central Processing Unit)
, A ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory).

The ROM stores various kinds of fixed data such as programs executed by the CPU and symbols of displayed numbers. The RAM is a work memory for storing data temporarily required for executing a program.

Next, the operation flow of the gaming machine 10 will be described. 3 and 4 schematically show the flow of the operation performed by the gaming machine 10, and FIG. 5 schematically shows the process of changing the display content of the variable display means 20. When a ball wins in the specific winning opening 12 (step S101; Y), the first screen game control means 50 performs a random lottery and executes a number matching game according to the lottery result (step S10).
2).

That is, the numbers displayed on the variable display means 20 are scrolled, and the displayed numbers are changed cyclically for a certain period. Then, when the lottery result hits one of the ranks, “777” is displayed as shown in FIG.
The scrolling operation is stopped in a state where the numbers are aligned (20a). At this time, the color of the number is black and the background color is white. When the lottery result is out of order, the scroll operation is stopped in a state where the numbers are not aligned.

When any of the ranks is hit (step S103; Y), the first screen game control means 50 outputs a lottery result signal 42 indicating that, and in response to this, the tour display control means The numeral 60 scrolls the numeral "777" displayed on the variable display means 20 again for a certain period of time as shown in FIG. At this time, the scroll operation is performed in a state where all three digits are the same (20b). The display color changing unit 70 includes a traveling display control unit 60.
While performing the scroll operation, the display color of the background color is repeatedly and cyclically changed in the order of white, red, blue, and yellow (step S104).

After performing the scrolling operation of the numbers over a certain period, the cyclic display control means 60 stops the scrolling operation again in a state where "777" is displayed (FIG. 5, 20c), and at the same time, the display color is changed. The changing means 70 stops the operation of changing the display color with the background color corresponding to the winning rank indicated by the lottery result signal 42 (step S105).

When the display color of the numeral (background color) at the time of stop is red (high-rank color) (step S106; Y),
The right is generated four times (step S107). That is, a state in which the probability of winning in a random lottery performed when a ball wins in the specific winning opening 12 becomes higher than the normal state is formed four times thereafter.

When the final display color is blue (step S
108; Y), three rights are generated (step S10)
9) If the final display color is yellow (step S11)
0; Y), two rights are generated (step S11)
1). In these cases, granting the right is determined at that time, and the right is granted to the player as a special value. On the other hand, if the final color is a specific color, that is, white (step S110; N), one right is provisionally generated (step S112). The provisional means that at this point, it is not yet determined whether or not one right is actually granted to the player.

After the provisional right has been granted, until a predetermined time has elapsed, it is monitored whether or not the player has received a display color change instruction through the color change instruction receiving means 17, and the predetermined time elapses. If there is no previous re-change instruction (step S1
13; N), the provisional right is determined, and one right is actually generated (step S114).

When the re-change instruction is issued before the fixed time has elapsed (step S113; Y), the re-tour display control means 80 sets the state in which the numbers are aligned like "777" (FIG. 5,
The scroll operation is performed again while maintaining 20d). In parallel with this, the display color re-change means 90 cyclically changes the display color (background color) of the numbers among white, red, blue, and yellow (step S114).

After performing the scroll operation for a certain period of time, the recursive display control means 80 stops the scroll operation in a state where "777" is aligned (FIG. 5, 20e), and at the same time, the display color re-change means 90 The operation of changing the display color is stopped (step S115). Which of the colors white, red, blue and yellow should be used to stop the display color depends on the result of a random lottery performed by a random number generator (not shown) of the display color re-change means 90.

As a result of changing the display color again, if the color of the finally displayed number (background color) is white indicating deviation (step S116; Y), it is temporarily added in the previous stage. The put right is extinguished (step S117). That is, no actual right is generated for the player.

When the display color changes to red (step S
118; Y), the value of the provisional right granted earlier is increased, and four rights are generated (step S119).

When the display color changes to blue (step S
120; Y), three rights are generated instead of the provisional right (step S121), and when the display color is yellow (step S120; N), one right is generated instead of the provisional right. (Step S122).

After the number of occurrences and the disappearance of the right are determined, the variable winning opening 32 is opened and closed to form a state in which the winning probability of the ball is high (step S123). On the other hand, when the result of the lottery of the number matching game performed by the first screen game control means 50 is out of order and the state where the numbers of “777” are aligned is not displayed (step S103; N), the variable winning opening 3
The process is terminated without opening and closing 2 (end).

As described above, when white (specific color) appears in the first operation of changing the display color, one right is temporarily generated, and the right can be increased but disappears. Since the player himself / herself can select whether or not to perform the second display color change operation, which is sometimes possible, the bargaining of the screen game is created, and the thrill and excitement of the player can be further evoked. it can.

Further, since the screen game is played over a long period of time divided into a plurality of stages, the interest of the player is poured into the progress of the screen game during that time, and the number of hitting pachinko balls naturally decreases. In this way, the player can enjoy the game in a long time with a small investment.

In the embodiment described above, the number of times the right is generated is changed. However, the probability that "777" will be equal in the next predetermined number of times may be set higher than usual according to the display color. good. That is, a so-called probability variation may be used, and the probability may be changed according to the display color.

In addition, in the embodiment, the number matching game is performed as the symbol matching game, but a symbol matching game in which other symbols such as fruit and fish are aligned may be used. Further, the display colors are cyclically changed among the four colors, but the number of display colors is not limited to this.

[0066]

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, in addition to the matching of the symbols, the gaming ability by the display color is added, and when the specific color comes out, the player can determine whether or not to proceed to the next game. Since the selection is made, the content of the game is varied and the thrill and excitement of the player can be aroused.

When a specific color appears as a display color of a symbol, first, a right to acquire a special value is temporarily given to the player, and the display color is changed again based on an instruction from the player. Since the right temporarily granted is increased, decreased, or extinguished in accordance with the display color of, the bargaining property is generated by the game content, and the thrill and excitement of the player can be further evoked.

Furthermore, since the time for which the screen game is developed is long, during this time, the player's interest is focused on the progress of the screen game, and the number of pachinko balls hitting naturally is reduced, and the player can play the game with a small investment. You can enjoy it for a long time.
