Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a game machine with a maintenance device for easy improvement in score probability, more specifically, a combination pachinko machine, a mahjong type pachinko machine, or a game machine for playing during a specified time. A score probability improvement/maintenance device that improves the probability of admission during a predetermined number of games, and is used in a pachinko machine that competes for winning points by hitting six balls, a pachinko machine that competes for winning points as a result of hitting a predetermined number of six balls, etc. This relates to a game machine with a built-in game machine.

[Prior Art] With the advancement of computer technology, various types of computer control have conventionally been performed on various gaming machines including pachinko machines.

As a result of computer control, pachinko machines have been provided with so-called "fee/he" machines for actual gaming.

In this Fever machine, when a specific situation occurs during the game, an accessory is activated so that the probability of scoring is significantly increased. You can now get prize balls.

More specifically, a plurality of reels with a plurality of symbols written on the board are provided, and when each reel stops rotating, for example, if three numbers 7 appear in a row, it is extremely easy to win a prize. This is an IE in which a specific winning hole is opened only for a certain period of time, and a large number of winnings can be won in a short period of time. Normally, this special winning hole closes when 10 prizes are won, but it is formed in such a way that the winning probability is high again after opening and closing it 10 times. The state where the probability of winning a prize was improving ended.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, pachinko machines have traditionally been enriched in game quality by improving the winning probability.

However, in such conventional pachinko machines, the game continues until all the balls in hand are exhausted or the game is stopped, so the above-mentioned state of increasing winning probability is repeated 10 times. It was a turning point.

On the other hand, as a game machine similar to a pachinko machine.

Regarding existing combination pachinko machines, mahjong-style pachinko machines, pachinko machines that compete for winning points by hitting balls within a specified time, pachinko machines that compete for winning points after hitting a predetermined number of balls, etc. Since one game ends with a specified time or a specified number of beads, although it is possible to improve the probability of scoring 11) points in one game, it is not possible to improve the probability of scoring over several games.

Therefore, the present invention aims at creating a game in which it is easy to improve the scoring probability once the game becomes easy to improve the scoring probability for a certain number of games! It is designed to maintain the value of S in order to improve game playability.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention configures one game with a fixed number of balls or a fixed time of bullets, and
A medal-type pachinko machine that pays out medals corresponding to the score when a score is reached at the end of the game, and also improves the probability of scoring when certain conditions are met. Formed from games where it is easy to improve the scoring probability, and in normal games.

If specific conditions are obtained, simpler conditions will be used for a certain number of games after the first game.

The game is characterized in that it is formed so that a game can be played in which the probability of scoring can be easily improved.

[Example] Hereinafter, a case where the present invention is applied to a combination type pachinko machine will be described with reference to illustrated examples.

Figure 1 is a front view of the combination pachinko machine, and
The figure is a flowchart for determining the suitability of inserted medals.

The combination pachinko machine shown in Figure 1.

The whole is formed from a box body 50 and a front plate 51 of all the joint bodies 50. A board surface 52 is fixed to the upper center of this front plate 51, and a handle 5 for a bullet is fixed to the lower center.
3 and a medal payout port 54 are provided. Furthermore, on the left side of the board surface 52, there is a medal slot 55. A return port 56, a return switch 57, a settlement switch 58, etc. are attached.

In addition, a rail 59 is fixed to the board surface 52 for guiding the hit ball, and in the center of the board surface 52, a combination result display section 60, a rotating reel 61 as a score probability improving device, and accessories 62, A passing checker 63 is provided.

In the flowchart for determining the suitability of inserted medals shown in FIG. 2, the game machine is set to a usable state by starting the control program, and after the setting, medals are inserted into the medal slot 55 (step l).
becomes possible.

Then, the medal selector provided on the back side of the medal slot 55 of the game machine determines whether or not the inserted medal is appropriate (step 2).
).

As a result, if the inserted medals are not genuine coins.

The medal is returned to the medal return port 56 (step 3), and the series of operations ends.

If the inserted medals are genuine coins, it is determined whether the game to be played is a normal game or a game in which the winning probability can be easily improved (step 4).

If the result of the judgment is that it is a normal game, the normal game processing shown in Figure 3 is performed, and if it is a game in which the winning probability can be easily improved, the winning probability can be easily improved as shown in Fig. 4. Game processing is performed.

FIG. 3 is a control flowchart used when it is determined that it is a normal game, and after starting, the normal game is started (step 5).

During this started game, it is determined whether the scoring probability improving device is activated (step 6).

Here, the score probability improving device is formed of a three-tree reel 61 on which a plurality of symbols are written, for example as shown in FIG. Something that improves the probability, something where the numbers on the digitally displayed window are different in sequence, and something that improves the probability of scoring depending on the combination of numbers at the time of stopping, or something that improves the probability of scoring, or although it is not shown, three colors alternate. It is conceivable to create three sets of colored blocks, form the colored parts of each block so that the lights turn on sequentially, and improve the score probability by the combination of colors when the light stops moving. .

In addition, this score probability improvement device starts its operation by winning a prize in a specific winning hole or passing a specific Chutka,
It is stopped by the passage of a certain period of time or by turning on a stop switch, etc. 6 Therefore, if there is no passage of a specific winning hole or a specific chutker, the scoring probability improving device may not operate.

Therefore, there are cases where this score probability improving device does not operate at all during the game, but in that case, the player will be able to enjoy the game of a normal combination pachinko machine.

In this case, when a predetermined number of balls have been hit, it is determined whether or not a score has been scored based on the game result displayed on the display section 60 (step 7), and if there is no score, the game ends.

If there is a score, the number A of medals to be paid out according to the score is memorized (step 8), and then the medals are sequentially paid out one by one to the payout port 54 (
Step 9).

When medals are paid out in this way, the payout counter B increments the number of medals by 1 each time one medal is paid out (step io), and then compares the memory value A of the number of medals to be paid out with the count value B. (Step 11), the medal payout operation continues until these values become equal.

When the payout is completed, the payout counter B and memory (A) are cleared (step 12), and then the l game ends.

On the other hand, if the score probability improvement device is activated, this state is determined in step 6, and it is then determined whether a predetermined combination has been established (step 13).
).

As a result, if the combination is not established, the process moves to step 7 and subsequent steps, and the same process as described above is performed.

However, if a combination is established, it is determined whether the combination is valid only for that game or whether it is a combination that can easily improve the scoring probability over multiple games (step 14).

As a result of the determination, if the combination is valid only for that game, the process moves to step 7 and subsequent steps.

On the other hand, if the combination is such that it is easy to increase the score probability by 1 over multiple games, then
A display light to that effect is turned on (Step 15), and from the next game onwards, it is easy to improve the winning probability (Step 16).
), the processing from step 7 onwards is executed again.

In other words, after hitting a predetermined number of balls (usually 16), it corresponds to the score obtained in that game, regardless of whether there is one combination or not, and whether or not it will be easier to improve the score probability from the next game. The medals are paid out, and one game ends.

Here, as a specific example of the establishment of the combination in step 13, for example, when the plurality of rotating reels 61 stop rotating as described above, each reel 61 [7--ko, [-
7-] or [-~7], and in this case, a specific accessory 62 that is configured to be easy to win a prize.
It is conceivable to improve the score probability by making it possible for the player to open for one second and win the specific accessory 62 in the same manner as winning a number that is normally difficult to win.

Furthermore, as specific examples of other combinations established in step 13, there are cases where the part 61 is stopped, the part 61 is [77-],
[=77] or [7-7], and in this case, a specific accessory 6 that is configured to be easy to win a prize.
2 remains open for 10 seconds and if you win that specific accessory 62, it is treated as if you won a number that is normally difficult to win, thereby improving the score fIi rate.

Note that the combination of the rotation stopper and the rule 61 is [777
], in conjunction with the improvement in the (!) point probability in step 13, the specific accessory 62 that is configured to be easy to win a prize is 3.
If it opens for 0 seconds and wins a prize with that specific accessory 62, it is treated as if the winning number was won with a number that is normally difficult to win.

This also results in a combination of games that can easily improve the winning probability from the next game in step 14 onwards.

In addition, in this embodiment, during a game where it is easy to improve the probability of winning a prize, if there is a symbol [7] on even a part of the stopped reels 61, a specific winning combination configured to make it easy to win will be played, similar to r777]. If the object 62 is opened for 30 seconds and you win a prize with that particular accessory 62, it is treated as if you won a number that is normally difficult to win.

FIG. 4 shows a processing routine when it is determined in step 4 that the winning probability is easy to improve. When the game is started (step 17), a counter C is incremented (step 17). 18) Next, it is determined whether or not the scoring probability improving device is activated (step 19).

In this embodiment, the score probability is not improved unless the score probability improvement device is activated, so if it is determined in step 19 that the score probability improvement device is not activated, the above-mentioned normal game score is determined. In step 20, the presence or absence of a score is determined, similar to step 7.

If it is determined that there is a score in step 20, the second
Medals are paid out to the payout port 54 through a series of processes from step 7 to step 25 shown in step 12 in the figure.

When the medals have been paid out in this way, the presence or absence of a game end signal that facilitates the improvement of the winning probability, which will be described later, is checked (step 26), and if there is an end signal, the counter C is cleared (step 27). )g! , the game ends.

If it is determined in step 26 that there is no game end signal, then the count value C of the counter in step 18 is
In this example, it is determined whether the number exceeds 20 (step 28).

If the total number of games has not reached 20 games (20
-C>0), the game ends, but the next game will also be a game under conditions where it is easy to improve the winning probability.

Also, if the count of the counter (iQ C reaches 20, that is, it is determined that the game was played under conditions where it is easy to improve the winning probability over a total of 20 games (20-C=O), the counter C and After clearing the counter D that counts the total number of games in a state where the probability of winning is increased (step 29), which will be described later, this condition is canceled (step 30), and the game that facilitates the improvement of the winning probability is completed, and the next game is played. The game returns to the normal game.

Also, if it is rejected in step 20 that there is no score,
The process moves to step 28, and the same processing as described above is performed.

On the other hand, when the score probability improving device is activated (step 19), it is determined whether or not there is a specific symbol in the 1Mi combination (step 31). That is, to explain using the example mentioned above,
It is determined whether or not there is a symbol "7" on a part of the stopped reels.

If there is no "7", the process moves to step 20 and the same process as described above is executed.

Furthermore, if there is even one "7" on each reel, the existence of the specific symbol is confirmed, and in this case, it means that the scoring probability has improved, so the counter D for counting the number of probability improvements is incremented. (Step 32).

Next, it is determined whether the value of this probability improvement number counter D is greater than 10 in this example (step 33).

When this counter D is less than 10 (10-D>
O), the process moves to step 20, where processing such as score determination and medal payout is performed.

If it is equal to 10 (10-D=0), the counter D is cleared (step 34), and a game end signal is issued (step 35), which makes it easier to improve the winning probability.
Similarly, the process moves to step 20.

That is, when a combination pachinko machine is controlled by this program, once a game state is reached where f') point probability direction is easily closed, that state will be maintained for the next 20 games (step 28). After playing games in which it is easy to improve the scoring probability 10 times during those 20 games, the game in which it is easy to improve the scoring probability is finished regardless of the total number of games played (step 33). This is the normal game state.

Therefore, although the game quality can be improved, it does not provide a rich gambling experience.

Note that 10 games or 20 games in the above description are merely examples, and other numbers of games may be used.

In addition, the operation of "Improve score probability" A21 is started at the start of the game in step 5, and the rotation of the reels 61 is stopped when a prize is won in any of the entry holes, or the rotation of the reels 61 is stopped when a prize is won in a specific winning hole. Among these other embodiments, in the former case, the scoring probability improving device is always activated during one game, so step 7 6 in FIG. is eliminated, and step 5 directly follows step 13.

Further, the scoring probability-L device can also be formed as something other than the one-rotation reel 61.

Furthermore, the shape of the accessory 62 is not limited to the illustrated example, and there is no limitation on the shape as long as it improves the score probability.

Also, regardless of the game, when a combination is established (step 13), since the above explanation uses a combination pachinko machine as an example, a specific accessory 62 configured to make it easier to win a prize will be displayed for a certain period of time. Open and its specific accessory 62
It was explained that if you win a prize, it will be treated as if you entered a number that is normally difficult to win. It is also possible to place numbers that are easy to combine in places where the ball can easily enter.

Furthermore, in the case of a mahjong-style pachinko machine, it may be possible to make a specific prize similar to that of winning a tile that is easy to win a prize for a certain period of time, or by winning a specific prize, the number of prizes will be increased by the number of winnings. The type of tiles may be freely selected.

There is also a pachinko machine where you compete for winning points by hitting balls within a specified time.
In a pachinko machine or the like where players compete for winning points as a result of hitting a predetermined number of balls, a specific accessory designed to make it easier to win a prize may be opened for a certain period of time.

However, in any case, along with improving the gameplay,
It is desirable to take care to ensure that the gambling nature does not increase too much.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides the following effects as a result of combinations during the normal game. If the ν constant condition is obtained, the next game should be a game in which it is easy to improve the scoring probability, and for a certain number of games after that, games in which it is easy to improve the scoring probability can be played. This is an attempt to improve the gameplay.
