Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to guess an established pattern of a pattern display part which stops in the end by checking a passed period of time, and enjoy a game which is rich in interests by a method wherein a clock display part which can display a passed period of time for patterns which are variably displayed on a pattern display part, from a counting time which is determined in advance, is provided. SOLUTION: When a game ball enters an ordinary electric accessory 5, patterns of pattern display parts L1-L3 of a special pattern display apparatus L are variable displayed. Then, whether it is a big winning or not is judged by reading a value of a judgment counter, and at the time of the big winning, 1 (one) is stored in a big winning storage part, and when it is not the big winning, whether it is an almost winning state or not is judged. When an almost winning state is judged, after a timer is initialized, an established display is performed on the pattern display part L2 with the same pattern, continuing to the pattern display part L1 until a specified period of time TA, and then, a pattern of the pattern display part L3 is varied at a speed by which a layer can recognize it. During the pattern variation, the value or the timer is displayed on a clock display part R, and through the passed period of time, an established pattern of the pattern display part which stops in the end is made guessable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine having a symbol display section, which can predict a stop time of a symbol to be fluctuated and displayed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pachinko machine as a gaming machine is provided with a special symbol display having a plurality of symbol display portions capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols, and a game ball is awarded at a symbol starting port. Accordingly, the symbols in the respective symbol display sections start to fluctuate, and after a predetermined time, the symbols are sequentially stopped, and when the combination of the fixed symbols is the same symbol (big hit symbol), for example, it is advantageous for the player. Some special game states (also called jackpots) occur.

[0003] Explaining with a specific example, it is composed of three symbol display parts L1 to L3.
The symbols 1, L2, L3 start to fluctuate, and the symbol display units L1, L2 are sequentially stopped, and the same symbols (for example, 4, 4)
Is displayed, there is a possibility of a big hit as a reach, and in order to give the player a sense of expectation, a sound effect or the like is generated and the symbol variation speed is reduced so that the variation symbol can be identified.

Some jackpots have different values. For example, a jackpot in which a non-specific symbol “4, 4, 4” selected beforehand is confirmed and displayed becomes a jackpot after the jackpot ends. The probability remains the low probability, but in the jackpot where the specific symbol “7, 7, 7” is definitely displayed, the state changes to the high probability state after the end of the jackpot and becomes a state that is advantageous to the player. There is a machine.

[0005]

In the conventional gaming machine, a player plays a game without knowing when the symbol starts to change and when the symbol stops, especially after the player has reached a reach. I want to know when a symbol is fixed and displayed, but since there is no such means, interest in symbol variation is fading. In view of the above, the present invention provides a gaming machine that knows the relationship between a symbol whose symbol is currently changing and a final symbol that will eventually stop, and can estimate a final symbol that will eventually stop and be displayed.

[0006]

A game machine according to a first aspect of the present invention has a symbol display section capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols, and after a symbol displayed on the symbol display section changes, a predetermined symbol is determined. When displayed, this is a gaming machine in which a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player occurs, and the symbol that fluctuates in the symbol display unit can display the elapsed time from the predetermined count time to the final display. A time display unit. Therefore, the player is required to count (for example,
If you know the time from the start of the change of all the symbols, at the time of the reach, the start of the re-change of the symbols, etc.) until the symbols are confirmed and displayed, the symbols that are currently changing the symbols and the elapsed time of the display on the timing display section , And a game can be played while predicting a fixed symbol to be stopped.

Since the elapsed time in the gaming machine of claim 2 is from the time of the reach, the game can be performed while comparing the elapsed time with the changing symbol and predicting the definite symbol to be stopped eventually. In the gaming machine according to the third aspect, since all symbols on the symbol display portion are temporarily displayed after being temporarily stopped, even if a non-specific symbol is displayed on the symbol display portion, it is finally determined and displayed. For the player, there is a possibility that it will be a special game state with a specific symbol that is advantageous, and the elapsed time in the symbol change is displayed on the clock display unit,
It is possible to play a game while predicting which symbol will become a fixed symbol in comparison with the variable symbol.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 (front view) shows a pachinko machine 1 as a gaming machine, which is paired with a card unit 20, and which has a card reader (not shown). There is built-in. The front panel 21 of the card unit 20 has an indicator lamp and a card insertion slot 2 when the operation of the card unit is valid.
2 are provided. On the other hand, the supply unit 12 attached to the front panel 11 of the pachinko machine has the card unit 2 attached thereto.
0 operation buttons and the like are provided. Specifically, a display 13a for displaying the balance (frequency) of the card inserted into the card insertion slot 22 and the like, and the card unit 20 is operated by the player through the card unit 20 Button 13 to supply ball rental to pachinko machines
b, a return button 13c for returning a card is provided.

A storage dish 17 is provided below the supply dish 12, and stores the prize balls overflowing when the supply dish 12 becomes full. Also, the handle 1 of the launching device
By the operation 8, the game balls supplied from the supply tray 12 for each ball are guided by the guide rail 2 and fired into the game area 3. A special symbol display L for performing a variable display game via a plurality of variable symbols is disposed substantially at the center of the game area 3, and the special symbol display L has a liquid crystal special symbol display unit. It has LA. Then, as one display mode in the game, the special symbol display section LA is displayed in the symbol display sections L1, L2, and L3 of the divided display as "0-9, A, B,
The 15 symbols "C, D, E" are displayed in a variably manner in this order. The specific configuration of these symbols will be described later.

On the left and right sides of the special symbol display L, ordinary symbol start gates 4a and 4b are provided, and when a game ball passes, the symbol of the ordinary symbol display 8 attached to the special winning opening 7 described later fluctuates. And stops after a lapse of a predetermined time for changing between the low-probability state and the high-probability state, and stops and displays the symbol according to the "hit" determination by the ordinary counter Fc having a well-known circulation number, and displays By opening the wings 5a of the accessory 5 for a predetermined period of time, it becomes easier for game balls to win. It should be noted that a game ball can be won even when the blade 5a of the ordinary electric accessory 5 is closed.

When the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 5, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.
It is more advantageous for the player as the open state of the player is larger. still,
When the game ball passes the normal symbol start gates 4a, 4b while the symbol of the ordinary symbol display 8 is fluctuating, up to four symbols are stored as symbol display memory of the next and subsequent ordinary symbols, and the number of stored symbols is displayed. .

Under the above conditions, the shorter the symbol on the ordinary symbol display 8 fluctuates, the shorter the ordinary symbol starting gate 4a,
Hit determination can be performed for many game balls passing through 4b, which increases the possibility of hitting, which is advantageous for the player, and is also advantageous when the probability of hitting is high. The game balls that have passed through the ordinary symbol start gates 4a and 4b are configured to flow down to the lower center of the game area 3, and the game area 3 has other ordinary winning openings 9a and 9b. It is arranged.

When a game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 5, a special symbol start signal is generated via a detector (not shown), and the symbol display portions L1 to L3 start displaying the symbol variation. Then, when the gaming ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 5 while the symbols in the symbol display portions L1 to L3 are changing, up to four special symbols are stored as the variable display memory of the next and subsequent special symbols, and the number of memory is stored. Lights the lamp LR to notify.

Then, based on the special symbol start signal, a jackpot counter Hc (0-239 circulation counter)
It is determined whether the game is a special game state (also referred to as a jackpot) or a miss, and the probability of the jackpot or the miss is different between the low probability state and the high probability state. Also, the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3
At the upper part of the display, a time display section R of 7-segment display, which will be described in detail later, is attached, and displays information on the symbol change elapsed time from a predetermined count time to a player.

When the "special game state (big hit)" is determined, "reach" for confirming and displaying the same symbol on the symbol display portions L1 and L2 is generated.
3 is variably displayed at a speed at which the player can discriminate, and finally, the symbol display portions L1 and L are displayed on the symbol display portion L3.
The same big hit symbols as “2” (“000” to “EEE”) are displayed. In addition, the confirmed symbol of these jackpots is "333"
“555”, “777”, and “AAA” are referred to as a jackpot (first special game state) in a specific symbol, and other fixed symbols (“000”, “111”, “222”, “444”, “66”)
6, 888, 999, BBB, CCC, DD
A case of a jackpot in "D" or "EEE") is referred to as a jackpot in a non-specific symbol (second special game state).

When a jackpot occurs, the opening and closing door 7a of the special winning opening 7 is kept open for t seconds, or closed when a game ball is awarded. When a game ball passes through a specific area (not shown) provided in the opening 7, the special winning opening 7 is opened again, and this operation is performed up to X times. Therefore, the player can obtain a large amount of prize balls.

(First Embodiment) Next, the timekeeping display section R of the pachinko machine having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the control flow shown in FIGS. (A) Power-on (see FIG. 2) When power is turned on, initialization is performed as shown in FIG. 2 (S1, S2), and first, the value of the jackpot storage unit F is initialized. Also, the normal counter F
c, the normal counter Fc is initialized when the power is turned on, is a cyclic counter of 0 to 99 added by 1 every 2 ms, and a stop symbol is a stop symbol through a normal symbol counter of 0 to 9 (10 types). Is selected. The hit of the ordinary counter Fc is set to a low probability when the power is turned on,
When the probability is "0 to 9", it is determined that the hit has occurred. When the probability is set to be high, "0 to 90" is determined to be the hit.

The jackpot determination is initialized when the power is turned on, and a determination counter Hc, which is a cyclic counter of 0 to 239, which is incremented by 1 every 2 ms, is introduced, and each time a game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 5, judge. Note that this determination counter H
c is set to a low probability when the power is turned on, when “7”, after “reach”, “big hit (first or second special game state)”, and when “101 to 118”, “reach ( It does not create a jackpot) ", otherwise it is" off ". On the other hand, in the high probability state described later, the judgment counter Hc (circulation counter of 0 to 239) is set to “7 to
17 is “big hit”, and “101 to 128” is “reach that does not cause big hit”. Also, the value of the jackpot storage unit F is initialized.

(B) Control of the pachinko machine (FIG. 3) When the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting gates 4a and 4b and hits by the normal counter Fc, the normal electric accessory 5 is opened and the winning becomes easy. Then, it is detected whether or not the game ball has won the ordinary electric accessory 5 (S8), and when the game has won, the symbols on the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 are started to change simultaneously (S10). Then, by reading the value of the determination counter Hc, it is determined whether or not a big hit (Hc = 7) (S11).
Is stored (S12), but if it is not a big hit, it is determined whether or not the reach is reached (the value of the determination counter Hc is 101 to 118) (S13).

When it is not reach, the timer T
Is initialized (S16A), and the symbol display section L1 is operated by a well-known symbol selection and variation method until time (Tα) described later.
Subsequently, the symbol display portion L2 is fixedly displayed, and thereafter, the symbol on the symbol display portion L3 is fixedly displayed (18A). During the symbol fluctuation, the timer display R displays the value of the timer T at appropriate intervals (for example, from 0 to TA in units of one second), increases the timer T by Δt, and repeats until TA ( (S20A, S22A, S24A), and thereafter, the symbol is disengaged and displayed on the symbol display section L3 (S26A).

Therefore, the elapsed display time R is sequentially displayed on the time display section R from the start of the change of all the symbols (counting time) to the preset time (Tα) at which all the symbols are definitely displayed. The initial display is the same as in the case of reach described later. Since the time (Tα) is out of range,
The time is set to be shorter than the time (TA) in the reach display described later, and is prepared for the next symbol display game.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 13 that a reach is made, the process proceeds to step 16, after a timer T is initialized (S16), and a well-known symbol selection and symbol variation are performed until a time (TA) described later. According to the method, first, the same symbol is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display unit L2 following the symbol display unit L1, and thereafter, the symbol on the symbol display unit L3 fluctuates at a speed that can be recognized by the player. Note that the symbol variation method of the symbol display section L3 includes a variation at a constant speed that can be recognized by the player, gradually decreasing the variation speed with regularity, or changing the speed with regularity (faster or slower). And).

During the symbol fluctuation, the time display section R displays the value of the timer T at an appropriate interval (for example, 0).
To TA) in units of 1 second), and the timer T is set to Δ
Repeatedly until the time (TA) at which the symbol of the symbol display section L3 is fixedly displayed by increasing by t (S20, S22, S24).
Therefore, the time display section R sequentially displays an increasing elapsed time from the start of all symbol changes (counting timing) to a preset time (TA) at which all symbols are definitely displayed.
Therefore, when the player knows the elapsed time (TA), especially during the symbol change of the symbol display section L3 after the reach, the player compares the currently displayed symbol with the elapsed time, and eventually decides to stop. It will be interesting to be able to guess the design. As described above, even in the case of disengagement, as in the case of the reach display, the elapsed time is displayed on the clock display unit R, so that the symbol display unit l2 is provided as in the conventional pachinko machine.
Until the symbol is confirmed, it cannot be recognized whether or not it is reach.

Then, the timer T expires (TA).
Then, in the symbol display portion L3, the same symbol as the symbol display portion L1 (L2) at the time of a big hit, and a different symbol (missing symbol) is confirmed and displayed at the time of a loss (S26). Next, the symbol variation game of this time is a big hit (big hit storage unit F =
It is determined whether or not 1) (S28). If it is off, the process returns. If it is a big hit, specific symbols ("333", "5")
55, "777" and "AAA" are determined (S30).

In the case of a jackpot in a specific symbol (first special game state), a jackpot process is performed and
After the jackpot process, the jackpot and the jackpot probability are changed to the high probability state, and the jackpot storage unit F is reset (S32). On the other hand, in the case of a jackpot in a non-specific symbol (second special game state), a jackpot process is performed, but after the jackpot is finished, the jackpot and the jackpot are set to a low probability state, and the jackpot storage unit F is set. It is reset (S40). Note that the first special game state and the second special game state are configured to change the probability, but in the first special game state, compared to the second special game state,
The number of rounds that can be continued may be increased to increase the numerical aperture of the special winning opening 7, or the number of winnings in one round may be increased to be advantageous to the player.

(Second Embodiment) This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in steps (S16a, S22a, S24a) described later, as in the control flow shown in FIG. Only the same steps are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In step 16 in the first embodiment, the timer T is set to the symbol variation time (TA) (S16a). It should be noted that TA is the time from the start of the change of all the symbols until the complete display of all the symbols. And
The symbols in the symbol display sections L1, L2, L3 are displayed in a variable manner as in the first embodiment before the timer T counts up (S18).

During the symbol change, the time display R shows
The time of the timer T is displayed at appropriate intervals (for example, from TA to 0 in units of one second) (S20), and the timer T is decreased by Δt, and sequentially reduced to “0” (S22a, S24a). Therefore, the time display section R includes
The elapsed time (remaining time) that decreases sequentially is displayed from the start of all symbol changes (counting time) to a preset time (TA) at which all symbols are definitely displayed. For this reason, the player particularly compares the elapsed time (remaining time) until reaching “0 (time-up)” with the symbol in the currently displayed symbol display unit L3 in the symbol fluctuation of the symbol display unit L3 after the reach. In this case, it is interesting to be able to infer the fixed symbol in the symbol display section L3 that will eventually stop.

(Third Embodiment) In the present embodiment, as shown in the control flow shown in FIG. 5, the time displayed on the time display section R starts at "reach time (count time)". Only the steps different from those in the first embodiment (FIG. 3) will be described, and the same steps will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted. Following the jackpot, it is determined whether or not the reach is displayed (S11, S13). If the reach is not reached (is out of reach), a well-known symbol selection is performed on the symbol display units L1, L2, L3. The departure confirmed symbol is displayed by the symbol variation method (S14). On the other hand, when performing the reach display, in the symbol change process (S18) of the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3, after the symbol display portion L1 and the symbol display portion L2 are finally displayed with the same symbol (reach) (S1).
7) The timer T is initialized (S16), and the value of the timer T is displayed on the time display R at appropriate time intervals (S20).

Then, the timer T is increased by Δt (S2
2), repeating until a preset change time TB of the symbol display section L3 (S24b), and the timer T times out (TB)
Then, the fixed symbol is displayed on the symbol display section L3 (S2
6) Yes. Therefore, if the player knows the symbol change time TB of the symbol display portion L3 after the "reach", the elapsed time of the display on the time display portion R is compared with the symbol currently being displayed, and eventually the stop display is performed. The determined symbol of the symbol display portion L3 to be performed can be estimated.

(Fourth Embodiment) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, similarly to the third embodiment (FIG. 5), the time display section R shows "after reach". The elapsed time is displayed, but as in the second embodiment (FIG. 4), the elapsed time display is reduced. Therefore, in step (S16c), the timer T is set to TB, and in step (S22a), the timer T is decreased by Δt, and after the time-up (S24c), the big hit and the miss are distinguished and set in the symbol display section L3. A symbol is displayed (S26).
Even with such a format, the same effects as those of the second and third embodiments can be obtained, and thus the description is omitted.

(Fifth Embodiment) This embodiment is a pachinko machine that enables the selection of a big hit symbol again after all the symbols on the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 are temporarily stopped and displayed. The control flow is shown in FIG. Note that steps having the same action in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. When it is determined to be a jackpot (S
11, S12), when reach display is performed (S1
3) The symbols in the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 are displayed (reached) once by the well-known symbol selection and symbol variation method on the symbol display portion L2 following the symbol symbol display portion L1. Later, after changing the symbol of the symbol display section L3 at a speed that can be recognized by the player, all the symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (S18d).

If it is out of the way, it is processed as a fixed symbol as it is, and if it is a big hit, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit in a specific symbol ("333""555""777""AAA") (S30). ). Then, in the case of a jackpot (first special game state) in a specific symbol, the jackpot process is performed because it is advantageous to the player, and after the jackpot process is completed, the probability of the jackpot and the jackpot is changed to the high probability state. At the same time, the jackpot storage unit F is reset (S32).

However, in the case of a jackpot with a non-specific symbol (second special game state), the timer T is used to give the player a chance to become a jackpot with the specific symbol again.
Are initialized (S16d), the symbol display units L1, L2,
L3 symbols together (eg, 444, 555, 666)
…), And starts changing at a speed that can be recognized by the player (S3).
4), until the time (Td) to be described later (S24d), and stop (confirm) display almost simultaneously. In addition, in the time display section R,
The time of the timer T is displayed at appropriate intervals (for example, from TA to 0 in units of one second) (S20), and the timer T is increased by Δt until the preset fluctuation time “Td” is reached.
The images are sequentially displayed (S22, S24d).

Therefore, the elapsed time that increases from the start of the symbol change (counting time) again is displayed on the clock display section R. If the time Td until the final display is known, the symbol T is compared with the symbol currently changing. Therefore, it is possible to guess what kind of symbol is a fixed symbol. When the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed (S36), it is determined whether or not the symbol is a specific symbol (S3).
8) In the case of a specific symbol, the process proceeds to step 32 to perform a jackpot process. On the other hand, in the case of a jackpot in a non-specific symbol, a jackpot process is performed, but after the jackpot is completed, the jackpot and the jackpot are set to a low probability state and the jackpot storage unit F is reset (S40). The time display section R in the fifth embodiment is a display in which the elapsed time from the start of the symbol change (count time) is increased again, but is decreased similarly to the second embodiment. (Remaining time display) method may be used.

As described above, the time display section R attached to the pachinko machine has the symbol display sections L1, L
2. At the start of the symbol change of L3 (first and second embodiments) or at the time of reach (third and fourth embodiments), and at the time of the symbol being temporarily stopped and then started to change again (first and second embodiments). Since the elapsed time from the fifth embodiment) is displayed to increase or decrease, it is interesting for the player to be able to estimate the final symbol in the symbol display section after reaching by looking at the elapsed time. Becomes Therefore, the count time should just know the progress until the symbol is confirmed and displayed,
Although not limited to the above example, it is desirable to select a time that can be easily understood by the player.

Next, another type of time display section R will be described with reference to FIG. The time display R in the first to fourth embodiments is a seven-segment display (LED).
Is a format in which the elapsed time is numerically displayed by using FIG.
As shown in (A), a plurality of lamps (LEDs and the like) 30 are arranged on the top of the special symbol display L around the circumference, sequentially turned on or off, and displayed according to the elapsed time,
As shown in FIG. 8 (B), the pointer 31 is used to display the elapsed time due to a change in the reciprocating speed or a swing in any direction in conjunction with a stepping motor (not shown) with the passage of time. There are methods.

Further, the plurality of lamps 30 and the hands 31
The special symbol display section LA instead of the hardware
On the liquid crystal screen of the software via software, or a different pattern (for example, sequentially displaying the patterns of playing cards, 1, 2, 3, 4, Corners are sequentially displayed).

That is, it is not always necessary to display the elapsed time with specific numbers on the time display section R, and the elapsed time from the start of the symbol change or the reach, or from the start of the re-design change to the final display of the symbol (increase display) Or decrease display (remaining time))
By adopting the means that can be understood, by comparing the symbol that is changing at the present time with the elapsed time, it becomes interesting that the player can play the game while guessing the fixed symbol to be stopped and displayed. As described above, the gaming machine capable of displaying the elapsed time is an effective means for a pachinko machine of a different type, a slot machine, a video game, and the like, in addition to the pachinko machine of the aforementioned type.

[0039]

According to the gaming machine of the first or second aspect of the present invention, since the elapsed time relating to the symbol fluctuation is displayed on the attached time display section R, the player can see the elapsed time by looking at the elapsed time. It will be interesting to be able to guess the fixed symbol of the symbol display section that will eventually stop. Claim 3
In the gaming machine, the elapsed time of the symbol change is displayed and it is interesting, and at the time of a big hit with a non-specific symbol,
It is a gaming machine that is advantageous for the player because there is a possibility of a big hit with a specific symbol.
