  There are two types of symbol variation patterns: special symbol variation patterns and production symbol variation patterns, both of which notify the result of special symbol lottery, but the special symbol variation pattern performs a predetermined variation and stop and special symbol lottery While the result of the form is officially notified after a lapse of a predetermined time, the directing pattern variation pattern takes effect into the process of notifying the result of the special drawing lottery, and makes it awkward whether it is a hit or miss. However, it is of the nature to notify.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect symbol variation pattern is displayed on most of the display screen of the special symbol display device 106, and the special symbol variation pattern is displayed in any small area of the four corners of the display screen. ing.

  Here, when the result of the special symbol lottery becomes “big hit” and the fact is notified by the symbol variation pattern effect on the special symbol display device 106 and the BGM output from the speakers 146L and 146R, the big hit processing in the special gaming state is completed. Is executed (first game specification).

  In addition, when the result of the special symbol lottery is “small hit” and the fact is notified by the symbol variation pattern effect on the special symbol display device 106 and the BGM output from the speakers 146L and 146R, the first game specification and When a game based on a different second game specification can be executed, and the result of the second game specification is winning in the V zone 200 (see FIG. 3 described later), the first game specification is The jackpot process, which is the final process, is executed.

  In this jackpot process, the attacker (A) 112 opens a predetermined number of times (rounds), and the opening time of one round is about 30 seconds, and a maximum of 10 game balls can be won during this time. That is, when either one of 30 seconds which is a time limit or 10 which is a number limit is satisfied first, the round is ended and the next round is started.

  For this reason, in the special gaming state, more winnings are expected in a shorter period than in the normal gaming state, and a gaming state advantageous to the player can be achieved.

  In addition, as described above, in the special symbol display device 106, when the special symbol start winning port 108 is newly won during the execution of the symbol variation pattern effect, and when the special symbol start winning port 108 is won during the jackpot processing. The number of lighting of the hold lamp 176 increases to a maximum of four according to the number of winnings.

  On the other hand, when the previous symbol variation pattern effect ends or the jackpot process ends, the special symbol display device 106 starts a new symbol variation pattern effect in order to notify the reserved special symbol lottery result. Along with this, one hold lamp 176 is extinguished, and the player is informed of the digestion of the hold.

  Further, the payout control unit 154 is connected to the payout device 160 and the launch control unit 164, and the launch control unit 164 is connected to the launch device 40. The payout control unit 154 operates the payout device 160 provided in the pachinko machine 10 to control the payout and lending ball payout and stop operations and the number of payouts. Further, the launch control unit 164 activates the launch device 40 by operating the launch handle 39 (see FIG. 1) by the player, and starts launch of the game ball and generates launch force according to the operation amount of the launch handle 39. Control.

  Further, the payout control unit 154 transmits payout information to the hall computer installed in the hall via the frame external terminal 191.

(Configuration for the second game specification added to the game board)
As described above, the game specification that allows the player to acquire the largest amount of game balls in the present embodiment is the first game specification, and the game ball PB is selected by winning the special symbol start winning slot 108. Is executed, the result of the lottery is notified by a symbol variation pattern effect, and in the case of winning, a jackpot process of opening the attacker (A) 112 is executed.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, in addition to the main first game specification, the sub game specification (the first game specification) that enables the attacker (A) to be opened in the main first game specification. 2 gaming specifications).

  In other words, the winning of the lottery results is classified into “big hit” and “small win”, the first game specification is executed in the case of “big win”, and the second game specification is executed in the case of “big win”. To do.

  The structure of the second game specification is formed around the special symbol display device 106 in the center accessory 105.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, on the upper part of the special symbol display device 106, an attacker (B) 202 as a second prize opening is launched from the launching device 40 and driven into the game area 101. Is provided toward the discharge port 103 side.

  The discharge port 103 has a structure in which a main body is provided at the upper end of the inner rail 104, and a leaf spring material is cantilevered with respect to the main body. The part is in contact with or close to the outer rail 102.

  Only one opening / closing blade 204 is attached to the opening of the attacker (B) 202 (a pair of conventional opening / closing blades are provided symmetrically). The open / close blade 204 is configured to open to the attacker (B) 202 for a predetermined time by rotating to the left in the drawing as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It has become.

  Here, when the game ball PB released from the discharge port 103 is launched at a predetermined launch intensity or less, it wins an opening of the attacker (B) 202 or is directed toward the game board. It is guided to the channel 107 on the left side of 105.

  On the other hand, a game ball PB that has been fired exceeding a predetermined launch intensity passes above the center accessory 105. In the present embodiment, such a game ball PB such as a nail or an accessory is used. Instead of bouncing back all the obstacles and passing the left channel 107 toward the center role 105, a flow path 109 for the game ball PB is provided on the right side toward the center feature 105, and the player's By leaving the technical intervention of adjusting the firing strength, the game is enhanced.

  Further, by providing the game ball PB channel 109 on the right side toward the center role 105, a maximum diameter of 300 mm can be secured as the game area 101 (game ball flow area) on the game board. .

  The attacker (B) 202 is provided with a B winning sensor 226 as a winning sensor for detecting a winning game ball PB in the vicinity of the winning opening, and a tunnel-like tube member 206 through which the gaming ball PB flows. The pipe member 206 is disposed with an inclination that gently descends from the attachment position of the opening / closing blade 204 toward the right back toward the game board 100 surface.

  The pipe member 206 is bent sharply downward in the right back direction, and the game ball moves along the right side of FIG. 2 of the special symbol display device 106 in the lower right corner portion of FIG. 2 of the special symbol display device 106. Will fall down.

  In the lower right corner of FIG. 2 of the special symbol display device 106, the tube member 106 is arranged with an inclination that is bent toward the front side of the gaming machine and gently descends, and its bent tip is opened. For this reason, the game ball is discharged from the opening and is placed on a cradle 210 provided on an extension of the stage 208 formed along the lower side of the special symbol display device 106.

  The cradle 210 is provided with a character doll 212 having a golf putter style as a motif, and a game ball placed on the cradle 210 is regarded as a golf ball and is used for putting. . At this time, the stage 208 is regarded as green for the putting (pseudo), and the game ball sent out from the cradle 210 (launched as if struck by putting) moves from the cradle 210 to the stage 208. 2 flows along the lower side of the special symbol display device 106 from the right to the left in FIG.

  A rotating plate 214 is provided near the lower left of the special symbol display device 106 in FIG. The upper layer surface of the rotating plate 214 has a dome shape with a slightly raised central portion, and the peripheral edge substantially coincides with the upper layer surface of the stage 208.

  A V zone 200 is formed at a position eccentric with respect to the rotation center of the rotating plate 214.

  Further, the left end of the stage 208 in FIG. 2 is interrupted with the left and right centers of the rotating plate 214 as a boundary, and a release zone 216 in which a game ball falls is formed.

  In the second game specification of the above configuration, when the lottery result is “small hit”, the opening / closing blade 204 is opened for a predetermined time, and when the game ball wins during this open time, the game ball guided to the pipe member 206 The PB moves to the cradle 210, further flows through the stage 208, and wins the V zone 200 on the rotating plate 214 or falls to the off zone 216.

(Directional design variation pattern)
The effect design variation pattern of the present embodiment is created using a golf game as a motif. That is, a golfer as a character provides an image along a series of flows in which each hole is rounded with a predetermined stroke from tee shot to putting.

  This golf game is related to the first game specification (original lottery game) and the second game specification (V winning game by putting operation), but has an independent game form (third game). Gaming specifications).

  As the effect image related to the golf game as the third game specification, an effect image for 18 holes (par 72) is prepared in advance, and this is repeatedly executed. Further, since the image information varies depending on the arrival position after launching the golf ball, a plurality of types of background images are prepared for one effect image.

  In addition, the effect image informs a lottery by winning a game ball to the special symbol start winning opening 106 by symbol variation, and reaches (for example, a state in which two symbols out of three symbol variations stop at the same symbol) It is executed at the point of time, and is defined as one shot in one production.

  The number of pars (par 3, par 4, par 5) determined for each hole is the maximum number of strokes, and if the cup-in is not made within the maximum number of strokes, the hole is out at that time.

  In other words, if the result of the tee shot is a win and the lottery result is a win (big hit or small win), the image of the cup-in will be displayed as it is, and the final shot will be left as close as possible to the cup. However, if the result of the lottery is off, an image that misses the cup-in is displayed.

  In other words, since the effect image of the effect symbol variation pattern by the golf game is linked to the original game (first game specification), in addition to the main purpose of notifying the result of the winning lottery, one game As a result, even if only the screen is viewed, the progress status of the first game specification can be recognized.

The effect image (moving pattern data) of this effect symbol variation pattern can be roughly classified into three as follows (see FIG. 6).
(1) Tee-shot video pattern data group 218 (see FIG. 6A)
This is a moving image pattern that gives the first shot of each hole.

Normally, after the first shot, the ball is displayed on the fairway, green, rough, bunker, etc. until the ball falls, but if the final result of the reach that triggers the animation pattern is correct, In some cases.
(2) Movie pattern data group 220 after the second shot (see FIG. 6B)
The moving image pattern after the second stroke is selected according to the connection with the first stroke. Even in the second shot, if the final result of the reach is a win, there is a case where the player directly cups in.
(3) Result movie pattern (hole-out pattern) data group 224 (see FIG. 6C)
In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, it is a moving image pattern of the last hit of each hole. By making a background that is completely different from the golf course (for example, the center of a city) as one of the announcement effects that occur with a predetermined probability by lottery in the case of big wins, small wins, or special reach conditions , There is also a sense of expectation.

  Each hole has a standard number of strokes (par) as described above. Usually, at the final hit of this number of pars, the cup is slightly removed (the lottery is off) or the cup-in (the lottery wins). ) Is selected.

  When the cup is in, the hole becomes a par and continues to the next hole. When the cup is removed, the hole becomes bogie and continues to the next hole.

  In addition, even if a cup-in (hole-in-one, albatross, eagle, birdy) before the final hit is mentioned above, it continues to the next hole.

  By performing the above 18 holes and repeating them, an effect symbol variation pattern as a reach effect is constructed.

(Configuration for the second game specification added to the control system)
In order to realize the second game specification, as shown in FIG. 5, the main controller 150 is provided with a B winning sensor 226 for detecting a winning ball won by the attacker (B) 202 and a rotating plate 214. V zone sensors 228 for detecting a winning ball that has won a prize in the V zone 200 are connected to each other, and each of these sensors outputs a detection signal to the main control unit 150 when a winning ball is detected.

  Further, a solenoid 229 for opening / closing the opening / closing blade 204 and a motor 230 for rotating the rotating plate 214 in one direction at a constant speed are connected to the main control unit 150.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram functionally showing control for executing the first game specification and the second game specification in parallel in the main control unit 150.

  The A winning sensor 186 is connected to the lottery unit 250 of the main control unit 150. In the lottery unit 250, special drawing lottery is executed, and winning (big hit, small hit) or losing is determined.

  The lottery result in the lottery unit 250 is sent to the big hit processing execution control unit 252 in the case of a big win, and is sent to the attacker B opening / closing control unit 254 in the case of a big win. In addition, the lottery unit 250 sends the lottery result to the symbol control unit 156 via the effect control unit 152 regardless of hit / miss.

  The jackpot processing execution control unit 252 is connected to a solenoid 175 for opening and closing the door 116 of the attacker (A), and opens the door 116 a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time as described above.

  In addition, a solenoid 229 for opening and closing the opening / closing blade 204 is connected to the attacker B opening / closing control unit 254, and as described above, the opening / closing blade 204 is opened for a predetermined time.

  When the game ball PB wins the attacker (B) 202 during the opening, this is detected by the B winning sensor 226.

  The B winning sensor 226 is connected to the rotating plate operation control unit 256 and sends the detection result to the rotating plate operation control unit 256.

  A motor 230 for rotating the rotating plate 214 is connected to the rotating plate operation control unit 256, and the rotation of the rotating plate 214 is triggered by winning the attacker (B) 202, and the V zone is effective. / Sends a winning signal to the invalidity determination unit 258.

  The V zone valid / invalid determination unit 258 validates the V zone 200 by winning a winning signal and resets / starts the timer 260. In other words, by setting the effective period of the V zone 200 to a predetermined time from the time when the winning signal is input (set from the time until the game ball PB attacker (B) 202 reaches the rotating plate 214 after winning), A false winning in the zone 200 is avoided.

  During the period during which the V zone validity / invalidity determination unit 258 is valid, the V zone validity / invalidity determination unit 258 sends an activation signal to the jackpot processing execution instruction unit 262.

The jackpot processing execution instruction unit 262 is activated based on this activation signal, and during this activation period, the game ball PB is detected by the V zone sensor 228 (that is, winning to the V zone 200).
If there is, the execution instruction is given to the jackpot processing execution control unit 252.

  On the other hand, in the symbol control unit 156, the lottery result determination unit 264 receives the lottery result.

  An effect symbol variation pattern recognition unit 266 is connected to the lottery result determination unit 264. The effect symbol variation pattern recognizing unit 266 recognizes the effect symbol variation pattern determined based on the lottery result, and sends a reach signal to the reach effect pattern determining unit 268 in the case of reach. In cases other than reach, a reading instruction signal is sent to the fluctuation pattern reading unit 270.

The reach progress pattern monitoring unit 272 is connected to the reach effect pattern determination unit 268.
For this reason, when the reach signal is input to the reach effect pattern determining unit 268, the reach effect pattern determining unit 268 receives the progress status of the current effect from the effect progress status monitoring unit 272 (in this embodiment, the following Information on the number of holes in which the production is produced), the reach production pattern to be produced next is determined, and a readout instruction signal is sent to the fluctuation pattern reading unit 270.

  A normal symbol variation pattern memory 274 and a reach pattern memory 276 are connected to the variation pattern reading unit 270. The data of each bat at each hole shown in FIG. 6 is stored in the reach pattern memory 276.

  When a read signal is received from the effect symbol variation pattern recognition unit 266, predetermined variation pattern data is acquired from the normal symbol variation pattern memory 274, and when a read signal is received from the reach effect pattern determination unit 268, a reach pattern is obtained. Predetermined variation pattern data is acquired from the memory 276.

  A display control unit 278 is connected to the variation pattern reading unit 270, and the variation pattern is displayed on the special symbol display device 106 by sending the read pattern data to the display control unit 278.

  The operation of the present embodiment will be described below.

(Game flow of pachinko machine 10)
In the game using the pachinko machine 10, when the player operates the launch handle 39, the game balls stored in the ball tray portion 34 of the integrated dish 30 are supplied to the launch device 40 one by one by the ball feeding device. Is fired upward. The launched game ball PB is driven into the game area 101 of the game board 100 along the outer rail 102 and falls in the game area 101 while changing the direction by hitting the game nail. Then, the game ball that has reached the lower end of the game area 101 without winning a prize is collected into the pachinko machine 10 from the out port 124.

  When the game ball passes through the passing gate 118, the main control unit 150 executes a lottery process for hitting / losing the normal symbol. Although illustration is omitted, the lottery result is displayed on the normal symbol display device by changing the two-digit normal symbol, and after that change, the combination of stop symbols.

  When the normal symbol lottery result is “winning”, the electric tulip 110 is opened for a predetermined time, and the game ball is likely to win the special symbol start winning opening 108.

  When the special symbol start winning slot 108 is won, the main control unit 150 executes a special symbol winning / losing lottery process. The lottery result is 2 in a part of the lower area of the special symbol display device 106. Each special symbol is changed in a predetermined pattern, and is displayed by a combination of stop symbols that have passed through the changed pattern. Further, along with this display, in almost the entire area of the special symbol display device 106, the effect symbols are changed in a predetermined pattern and are stopped and displayed through the change pattern. In the production image of this production pattern variation pattern, for example, a number of patterns that take various productions and tastes into consideration are prepared, such as display of a winning design after reach, display of a missed design, or display of a missed design without reach. The player receives these effects and observes the lottery result of the special symbol with expectation.

  The flowchart of FIG. 8 shows a series of flow from winning to the special symbol starting winning opening 108 in the main control unit 150 to processing in the case of winning.

  That is, in step 300, it is determined whether or not there has been a prize (start prize) in the special symbol start winning opening 108. If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 302 and a lottery is executed.

  In the next step 304, the symbol variation pattern information determined based on the lottery result is sent to the symbol control unit 156 via the effect control unit 152, and then the process proceeds to step 306, where the lottery result is hit. The routine is terminated if it is not.

  If it is determined that the winning is determined in step 306, the process proceeds to step 308 and waits until the result of the lottery notification (design variation pattern effect) is completed.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 308, the process proceeds to step 310 to determine whether the winning content is a big hit or a small hit.

  If it is determined that the jackpot is determined in step 310, the process proceeds to step 312 and the jackpot processing is executed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined at step 310 that the game is a small hit, the routine proceeds to step 314, where the attacker (B) 202 is released for a predetermined time.

  If the game ball PB is input while the attacker (B) 202 is released, a chance to win the V zone 200 is obtained.

  In the next step 316, it is determined whether or not there is a winning in the V zone 200. If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 318. In step 318, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed. If a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 316. In addition, when an affirmative determination is made in step 318, it is determined that there has been no winning in the V zone 200 within a predetermined period (no winning in the attacker (B) or reaching the losing zone 216), This routine ends.

If an affirmative determination is made in step 316, that is, a winning in the V zone 200 is detected, the process proceeds to step 312 to execute a jackpot process.
(Operation for jackpot)
When the special symbol lottery result is “big hit”, the special symbol display device 106 displays a predetermined combination of predetermined big hit symbols, such as “444”, for lighting effects. The player is notified that the jackpot has occurred by adding effects such as blinking of the indicator lamp 142 and sound effect output from the speakers 146L and 146R, and executes a predetermined jackpot operation.

  As a jackpot operation, the opening / closing operation of the door 116 opens the attacker (A) 112, for example, 10 counts (winning number) or a maximum of 30 seconds (one open time) / up to 16 rounds (continuous number of times). The operation of continuing is performed. As a result, the player can easily win a lot of winning balls by, for example, receiving 15 payouts per winning prize, for example, by making the released gaming balls enter the attacker (A) 112. At this time, the payout device 160 operates to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls, and the payout prize balls are discharged from the ball discharge port 46 to the ball tray portion 34 of the integrated dish 30.

  In addition, when the winning symbol is a combination of a predetermined specific symbol such as “777”, the “probability change mode” in which the next jackpot probability is increased after the above jackpot operation ends, or the jackpot An additional function such as “time reduction mode” in which the probability is not changed but the variation time is shortened is activated, and a gaming state advantageous to the player is developed.

(Operation for small hits)
On the other hand, when the lottery result of the special symbol is “small hit”, the special symbol display device 106 displays a predetermined combination of predetermined small hit symbols such as “4A4” and the illumination. An effect by blinking the effect indicator lamp 142 or sound effect output from the speakers 146L and 146R is added to notify the player that a small hit has occurred, and a predetermined small hit operation is executed.

  As the small hitting operation, the attacker (B) 202 is opened for 0.6 seconds + 1.6 seconds, for example, and the game ball PB can be won.

  The game ball PB won in the attacker (B) 202 reaches the cradle 210 via the pipe member 206, and is further fed from the cradle 210 to the stage 208, thereby rolling to the rotating plate 214. .

  The timing of this rolling and the rotation timing of the rotary plate 214 determine whether the game ball PB wins the V zone 200 or goes to the detach zone 216. When winning the V zone 200, the first ball The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 116 (opening / closing of the attacker (A) 112), which is the final operation of the game specification, is executed.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow for executing the effect symbol variation pattern in the symbol control unit 156.

  In step 350, it is determined whether a lottery result has been input. If the determination is negative, the routine ends.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 350, the process proceeds to step 352 to determine whether or not the lottery result is successful.

  If it is determined that the winning is determined in step 352, the process proceeds to step 354, the winning variation pattern already determined in the main control unit 150 is recognized, and the process proceeds to step 356. In step 356, it is determined whether or not the determined winning variation pattern passes through the reach pattern. In the case of winning, most of the patterns pass through the reach pattern. However, since there is a variation pattern in which all symbols stop at the winning symbol in rare cases, the presence / absence of the reach pattern is determined in this step 356.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 356, the process proceeds to step 358 to read information on the current performance status, and then in step 360, a reach pattern is read based on the current performance status, and the flow proceeds to step 362. On the other hand, if the determination in step 356 is negative, the process proceeds to step 364 to read the winning variation pattern, and the process proceeds to step 362.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step 352, that is, if there is a deviation, the process proceeds to step 366, where the fluctuation pattern already determined in the main control unit 150 is recognized, and the process proceeds to step 368. In step 368, it is determined whether or not the determined deviation variation pattern passes through the reach pattern.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 368, the process proceeds to step 370 to read information on the current performance status, and then in step 372, a reach pattern is read based on the current performance status, and the flow proceeds to step 362. If the determination in step 368 is negative, the process proceeds to step 374, the deviation variation pattern is read, and the process proceeds to step 362.

  In step 362, the effect symbol variation pattern effect is executed based on the read variation pattern (reach pattern), and this routine ends.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, an attacker (A that wins a lottery, a symbol variation pattern effect, and a lottery that wins the special symbol start winning opening 106, which is the first game specification) ) In parallel with the advancement of the game of a predetermined number of times 112 and a predetermined number of times, a small hit is set for the lottery, and when this small hit is reached, the second time that the attacker (B) 202 releases a predetermined time This game specification is executed, and by winning the attacker (B) 202 and winning the V zone 200, the attacker (A) 112, which is the first game specification, can be released a predetermined number of times. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy two types of game specifications at the same time, and in any case, since the common player's advantageous state of finally opening the attacker (A) 112 is set, It is possible to exert a synergistic effect on the game of the stomach.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the attacker (A) 112 in the case where the lottery, the symbol variation pattern production, and the lottery are won (big hit) triggered by winning the special game start winning opening 106 which is the first game specification. In parallel with the progress of the game of a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times, a small hit is set for the lottery, and when this small hit is reached, the second game specification that the attacker (B) 202 opens for a predetermined time. And the attacker (A) 112, which is the first game specification, can be released a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time by winning the attacker (B) 202 and winning the V zone 200. According to the game specification 1 and the second game specification, the player enjoys the pachinko game in which the attacker is combined (Attacker (A) 112, Attacker (B) 202), and the pachinko game It is possible to enjoy a different game (third game specifications) to proceed while associated with progress.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the attacker (A) 112 in the case where the lottery, the symbol variation pattern production, and the lottery win (big hit) are triggered by winning the special symbol start winning port 106 which is the first game specification. A third game that is an independent production game that is executed when the result of the lottery is reach while enjoying the progress of the game for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times, and that plays the role of the image production of the first game. By providing the specification, the game progress of the first game specification can be promoted.

  In the present embodiment, the third game specification is formed by a set of a plurality of game divisions (each shot image for each 18 holes), and each game division is each time the lottery associated with the start winning is reached. By controlling the image effect so that the goal (cup-in etc.) approaches, the goal for each game tool approaches each time the reach effect with a reasonable effect time overlaps, so the first game specification and the second It is possible to increase the sense of expectation of game hits (big hits, small hits) according to the game specifications of the game, and to allow the player to continue the game until the goal is met.

  Here, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 show the general game specification 1 (FIG. 10) and the general game specification 2 (when the winning probability, the privilege (probability change mode, short time mode) are entangled with the above-described game flow, and the general game specification 2 ( FIG. 11) shows the flow.

(General game specifications 1)

Next, the control system of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the control system of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured around a main control unit 150. The main control unit 150 stores a basic program relating to games, and the operation of each unit is controlled based on a command signal from the main control unit 150.

  The main control unit 150 includes a start winning sensor 180 for detecting a winning ball to the special symbol starting winning port 108, a passing gate winning sensor 184 for detecting a winning ball to the passing gate 118 which is a normal symbol starting port, an attacker (A ) A winning sensors 186 that detect winning balls to 112 are connected to each other, and each of these sensors outputs a detection signal to the main controller 150 when a winning ball is detected.

  Further, the main control unit 150 includes a normal electric accessory solenoid 174 for operating the electric tulip, a solenoid 175 for opening / closing the door 116 of the attacker (A) 112, a holding lamp 176, and a normal symbol display device 107 (see FIG. 2 are not shown).

  Here, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 118, the lottery of winning / losing the normal symbol is executed by the main control unit 150 by detecting this with the passing gate winning sensor 184, and the lottery result is won. If this happens, the main control unit 150 drives and controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 174 to open the electric tulip 110 for a predetermined time.

  Further, when a game ball wins the special symbol start winning opening 108, the special control lottery (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "special symbol lottery") is mainly controlled by detecting this with the start winning sensor 180. When the result of this special drawing lottery is won, the main control unit 150 controls the game state to shift from the normal game state to the special game state. In the special drawing lottery, a “big hit” and a “small win” corresponding to the big win are set. Note that there are cases where a normal win and a probability change mode in which the next win probability is increased after the end of the special game state, or a time reduction mode in which the symbol variation pattern time is shortened may be added.

  Also, information (start winning signal, jackpot signal, symbol determination number signal) indicating the progress of the game is transmitted from the main control unit 150 to the hall computer via the board external terminal 190.

  Furthermore, an effect control unit 152 and a payout control unit 154 are connected to the main control unit 150, and these control units are controlled by command transmission from the main control unit 150.

  A special symbol display device 106 is connected to the effect control unit 152 via a symbol control unit 156. In addition, the effect control unit 152 is a light-emitting element 126 for lighting effects provided in various game parts of the game board 100, a display lamp 142 for lighting effects and a display lamp 144 for errors provided in the glass frame 26. Is turned on, off, and blinking, and the speakers 146L and 146R provided on the front surface of the glass frame 26 are operated to control the output of sound effects and the like.

  On the special symbol display device 106 controlled by the effect control unit 152, an effect image of the symbol variation pattern for notifying the result of the special symbol lottery is displayed, and from the speakers 146L and 146R, the symbol variation pattern effect is displayed. BGM is output. Thereby, the player can enjoy the production | presentation by the design symbol corresponding to the result of special drawing lottery through vision and hearing. The display contents by the normal symbol display device 107 and the hold lamp 176 may be displayed by the special symbol display device 106.

  There are two types of symbol variation patterns: special symbol variation patterns and production symbol variation patterns, both of which notify the result of special symbol lottery, but the special symbol variation pattern performs a predetermined variation and stop and special symbol lottery While the result of the form is officially notified after a lapse of a predetermined time, the directing pattern variation pattern takes effect into the process of notifying the result of the special drawing lottery, and makes it awkward whether it is a hit or miss. However, it is of the nature to notify.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect symbol variation pattern is displayed on most of the display screen of the special symbol display device 106, and the special symbol variation pattern is displayed in any small area of the four corners of the display screen. ing.

  Here, when the result of the special symbol lottery becomes “big hit” and the fact is notified by the symbol variation pattern effect on the special symbol display device 106 and the BGM output from the speakers 146L and 146R, the big hit processing in the special gaming state is completed. Is executed (first game specification).

  In addition, when the result of the special symbol lottery is “small hit” and the fact is notified by the symbol variation pattern effect on the special symbol display device 106 and the BGM output from the speakers 146L and 146R, the first game specification and When a game based on a different second game specification can be executed, and the result of the second game specification is winning in the V zone 200 (see FIG. 3 described later), the first game specification is The jackpot process, which is the final process, is executed.

  In this jackpot process, the attacker (A) 112 opens a predetermined number of times (rounds), and the opening time of one round is about 30 seconds, and a maximum of 10 game balls can be won during this time. That is, when either one of 30 seconds which is a time limit or 10 which is a number limit is satisfied first, the round is ended and the next round is started.

  For this reason, in the special gaming state, more winnings are expected in a shorter period than in the normal gaming state, and a gaming state advantageous to the player can be achieved.

  In addition, as described above, in the special symbol display device 106, when the special symbol start winning port 108 is newly won during the execution of the symbol variation pattern effect, and when the special symbol start winning port 108 is won during the jackpot processing. The number of lighting of the hold lamp 176 increases to a maximum of four according to the number of winnings.

  On the other hand, when the previous symbol variation pattern effect ends or the jackpot process ends, the special symbol display device 106 starts a new symbol variation pattern effect in order to notify the reserved special symbol lottery result. Along with this, one hold lamp 176 is extinguished, and the player is informed of the digestion of the hold.

  Further, the payout control unit 154 is connected to the payout device 160 and the launch control unit 164, and the launch control unit 164 is connected to the launch device 40. The payout control unit 154 operates the payout device 160 provided in the pachinko machine 10 to control the payout and lending ball payout and stop operations and the number of payouts. Further, the launch control unit 164 activates the launch device 40 by operating the launch handle 39 (see FIG. 1) by the player, and starts launch of the game ball and generates launch force according to the operation amount of the launch handle 39. Control.

  Further, the payout control unit 154 transmits payout information to the hall computer installed in the hall via the frame external terminal 191.

(Configuration for the second game specification added to the game board)
As described above, the main game specification of the present embodiment is the first game specification, and the lottery is executed when the game ball PB wins the special symbol start winning opening 108, and the result of the lottery is displayed. The change pattern effect is notified, and in the case of winning, a jackpot process of opening the attacker (A) 112 is executed.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, in addition to the main first game specification, the sub game specification (the first game specification) that enables the attacker (A) to be opened in the main first game specification. 2 gaming specifications).

  In other words, the winning of the lottery results is classified into “big hit” and “small win”, the first game specification is executed in the case of “big win”, and the second game specification is executed in the case of “big win”. To do.

  The structure of the second game specification is formed around the special symbol display device 106 in the center accessory 105.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, an attacker (B) 202 serving as a second winning opening is provided on the upper portion of the special symbol display device 106. An opening / closing blade 204 is attached to the opening of the attacker (B) 202. The opening / closing blade 204 is configured to be opened for a predetermined time when the “small hit” is won in the lottery described above.

  The attacker (B) 202 includes a tunnel-shaped tube member 206 through which the game ball PB flows, and the tube member 206 gently descends from the attachment position of the opening / closing blade 204 toward the right side of the game board 100. It is arranged with a slope.

  The pipe member 206 is bent sharply downward in the right back direction, and the game ball moves along the right side of FIG. 2 of the special symbol display device 106 in the lower right corner portion of FIG. 2 of the special symbol display device 106. Will fall down.

  In the lower right corner of FIG. 2 of the special symbol display device 106, the tube member 106 is arranged with an inclination that is bent toward the front side of the gaming machine and gently descends, and its bent tip is opened. For this reason, the game ball is discharged from the opening and is placed on a cradle 210 provided on an extension of the stage 208 formed along the lower side of the special symbol display device 106.

  The cradle 210 is provided with a character doll 212 having a golf putter style as a motif, and a game ball placed on the cradle 210 is regarded as a golf ball and is used for putting. . At this time, the stage 208 is regarded as green for the putting (pseudo), and the game ball sent out from the cradle 210 (launched as if struck by putting) moves from the cradle 210 to the stage 208. 2 flows along the lower side of the special symbol display device 106 from the right to the left in FIG.

  A rotating plate 214 is provided near the lower left of the special symbol display device 106 in FIG. The upper layer surface of the rotating plate 214 has a dome shape with a slightly raised central portion, and the peripheral edge substantially coincides with the upper layer surface of the stage 208.

  A V zone 200 is formed at a position eccentric with respect to the rotation center of the rotating plate 214.

  Further, the left end of the stage 208 in FIG. 2 is interrupted with the left and right centers of the rotating plate 214 as a boundary, and a release zone 216 in which a game ball falls is formed.

  In the second game specification of the above configuration, when the lottery result is “small hit”, the opening / closing blade 204 is opened for a predetermined time, and when the game ball wins during this open time, the game ball guided to the pipe member 206 The PB moves to the cradle 210, further flows through the stage 208, and wins the V zone 200 on the rotating plate 214 or falls to the off zone 216.

(Directional design variation pattern)
The effect design variation pattern of the present embodiment is created using a golf game as a motif. That is, a golfer as a character provides an image along a series of flows in which each hole is rounded with a predetermined stroke from tee shot to putting.

  This golf game is related to the first game specification (original lottery game) and the second game specification (V winning game by putting operation), but has an independent game form (third game). Gaming specifications).

  As the effect image related to the golf game as the third game specification, an effect image for 18 holes (par 72) is prepared in advance, and this is repeatedly executed. Further, since the image information varies depending on the arrival position after launching the golf ball, a plurality of types of background images are prepared for one effect image.

  In addition, the effect image informs a lottery by winning a game ball to the special symbol start winning opening 106 by symbol variation, and reaches (for example, a state in which two symbols out of three symbol variations stop at the same symbol) It is executed at the point of time, and is defined as one shot in one production.

  The number of pars (par 3, par 4, par 5) determined for each hole is the maximum number of strokes, and if the cup-in is not made within the maximum number of strokes, the hole is out at that time.

  In other words, if the result of the tee shot is a win and the lottery result is a win (big hit or small win), the image of the cup-in will be displayed as it is, and the final shot will be left as close as possible to the cup. However, if the result of the lottery is off, an image that misses the cup-in is displayed.

  In other words, since the effect image of the effect symbol variation pattern by the golf game is linked to the original game (first game specification), in addition to the main purpose of notifying the result of the winning lottery, one game As a result, even if only the screen is viewed, the progress status of the first game specification can be recognized.

The effect image (moving pattern data) of this effect symbol variation pattern can be roughly classified into three as follows (see FIG. 6).
(1) Tee-shot video pattern data group 218 (see FIG. 6A)
This is a moving image pattern that gives the first shot of each hole.

Normally, after the first shot, the ball is displayed on the fairway, green, rough, bunker, etc. until the ball falls, but if the final result of the reach that triggers the animation pattern is correct, In some cases.
(2) Movie pattern data group 220 after the second stroke (see FIG. 6B)
The moving image pattern after the second stroke is selected according to the connection with the first stroke. Even in the second shot, if the final result of the reach is a win, there is a case where the player directly cups in.
(3) Result movie pattern (hole-out pattern) data group 224 (see FIG. 6C)
In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, it is a moving image pattern of the last hit of each hole. By making a background that is completely different from the golf course (for example, the center of a city) as one of the announcement effects that occur with a predetermined probability by lottery in the case of big wins, small wins, or special reach conditions , There is also a sense of expectation.

  Each hole has a standard number of strokes (par) as described above. Usually, at the final hit of this number of pars, the cup is slightly removed (the lottery is off) or the cup-in (the lottery wins). ) Is selected.

  When the cup is in, the hole becomes a par and continues to the next hole. When the cup is removed, the hole becomes bogie and continues to the next hole.

  In addition, even if a cup-in (hole-in-one, albatross, eagle, birdy) before the final hit is mentioned above, it continues to the next hole.

  By performing the above 18 holes and repeating them, an effect symbol variation pattern as a reach effect is constructed.

(Configuration for the second game specification added to the control system)
In order to realize the second game specification, as shown in FIG. 5, the main controller 150 is provided with a B winning sensor 226 for detecting a winning ball won by the attacker (B) 202 and a rotating plate 214. V zone sensors 228 for detecting a winning ball that has won a prize in the V zone 200 are connected to each other, and each of these sensors outputs a detection signal to the main control unit 150 when a winning ball is detected.

  Further, a solenoid 229 for opening / closing the opening / closing blade 204 and a motor 230 for rotating the rotating plate 214 in one direction at a constant speed are connected to the main control unit 150.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram functionally showing control for executing the first game specification and the second game specification in parallel in the main control unit 150.

  The A winning sensor 186 is connected to the lottery unit 250 of the main control unit 150. In the lottery unit 250, special drawing lottery is executed, and winning (big hit, small hit) or losing is determined.

  The lottery result in the lottery unit 250 is sent to the big hit processing execution control unit 252 in the case of a big win, and is sent to the attacker B opening / closing control unit 254 in the case of a big win. In addition, the lottery unit 250 sends the lottery result to the symbol control unit 156 via the effect control unit 152 regardless of hit / miss.

  The jackpot processing execution control unit 252 is connected to a solenoid 175 for opening and closing the door 116 of the attacker (A), and opens the door 116 a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time as described above.

  In addition, a solenoid 229 for opening and closing the opening / closing blade 204 is connected to the attacker B opening / closing control unit 254, and as described above, the opening / closing blade 204 is opened for a predetermined time.

  When the game ball PB wins the attacker (B) 202 during the opening, this is detected by the B winning sensor 226.

  The B winning sensor 226 is connected to the rotating plate operation control unit 256 and sends the detection result to the rotating plate operation control unit 256.

  A motor 230 for rotating the rotating plate 214 is connected to the rotating plate operation control unit 256, and the rotation of the rotating plate 214 is triggered by winning the attacker (B) 202, and the V zone is effective. / Sends a winning signal to the invalidity determination unit 258.

  The V zone valid / invalid determination unit 258 validates the V zone 200 by winning a winning signal and resets / starts the timer 260. In other words, by setting the effective period of the V zone 200 to a predetermined time from the time when the winning signal is input (set from the time until the game ball PB attacker (B) 202 reaches the rotating plate 214 after winning), A false winning in the zone 200 is avoided.

  During the period during which the V zone validity / invalidity determination unit 258 is valid, the V zone validity / invalidity determination unit 258 sends an activation signal to the jackpot processing execution instruction unit 262.

  The jackpot process execution instructing unit 262 is activated based on the activation signal, and if the game ball PB is detected by the V zone sensor 228 during this activation period (that is, winning in the V zone 200), the jackpot process execution is performed. The control unit 252 is instructed to execute.

  On the other hand, in the symbol control unit 156, the lottery result determination unit 264 receives the lottery result.

  An effect symbol variation pattern recognition unit 266 is connected to the lottery result determination unit 264. The effect symbol variation pattern recognizing unit 266 recognizes the effect symbol variation pattern determined based on the lottery result, and sends a reach signal to the reach effect pattern determining unit 268 in the case of reach. In cases other than reach, a reading instruction signal is sent to the fluctuation pattern reading unit 270.

  The reach progress pattern monitoring unit 272 is connected to the reach effect pattern determination unit 268. For this reason, when the reach signal is input to the reach effect pattern determining unit 268, the reach effect pattern determining unit 268 receives the progress status of the current effect from the effect progress status monitoring unit 272 (in this embodiment, the following Information on the number of holes in which the production is produced), the reach production pattern to be produced next is determined, and a readout instruction signal is sent to the fluctuation pattern reading unit 270.

  A normal symbol variation pattern memory 274 and a reach pattern memory 276 are connected to the variation pattern reading unit 270. The data of each bat at each hole shown in FIG. 6 is stored in the reach pattern memory 276.

  When a read signal is received from the effect symbol variation pattern recognition unit 266, predetermined variation pattern data is acquired from the normal symbol variation pattern memory 274, and when a read signal is received from the reach effect pattern determination unit 268, a reach pattern is obtained. Predetermined variation pattern data is acquired from the memory 276.

  A display control unit 278 is connected to the variation pattern reading unit 270, and the variation pattern is displayed on the special symbol display device 106 by sending the read pattern data to the display control unit 278.

  The operation of the present embodiment will be described below.

(Game flow of pachinko machine 10)
In the game using the pachinko machine 10, when the player operates the launch handle 39, the game balls stored in the ball tray portion 34 of the integrated dish 30 are supplied to the launch device 40 one by one by the ball feeding device. Is fired upward. The launched game ball PB is driven into the game area 101 of the game board 100 along the outer rail 102 and falls in the game area 101 while changing the direction by hitting the game nail. Then, the game ball that has reached the lower end of the game area 101 without winning a prize is collected into the pachinko machine 10 from the out port 124.

  When the game ball passes through the passing gate 118, the main control unit 150 executes a lottery process for hitting / losing the normal symbol. Although illustration is omitted, the lottery result is displayed on the normal symbol display device by changing the two-digit normal symbol, and after that change, the combination of stop symbols.

  When the normal symbol lottery result is “winning”, the electric tulip 110 is opened for a predetermined time, and the game ball is likely to win the special symbol start winning opening 108.

  When the special symbol start winning slot 108 is won, the main control unit 150 executes a special symbol winning / losing lottery process. The lottery result is 2 in a part of the lower area of the special symbol display device 106. Each special symbol is changed in a predetermined pattern, and is displayed by a combination of stop symbols that have passed through the changed pattern. Further, along with this display, in almost the entire area of the special symbol display device 106, the effect symbols are changed in a predetermined pattern and are stopped and displayed through the change pattern. In the production image of this production pattern variation pattern, for example, a number of patterns that take various productions and tastes into consideration are prepared, such as display of a winning design after reach, display of a missed design, or display of a missed design without reach. The player receives these effects and observes the lottery result of the special symbol with expectation.

  The flowchart of FIG. 8 shows a series of flow from winning to the special symbol starting winning opening 108 in the main control unit 150 to processing in the case of winning.

  That is, in step 300, it is determined whether or not there has been a prize (start prize) in the special symbol start winning opening 108. If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 302 and a lottery is executed.

In the next step 304, the symbol variation pattern information determined based on the lottery result is sent to the symbol control unit 156 via the effect control unit 152, and then the process proceeds to step 306, where the lottery result is hit. This routine is terminated when it is determined that it is unsuccessful. When it is determined that the winning is made at step 306, the routine proceeds to step 308, and the notification of the result of the lottery (design variation pattern effect) is completed. Wait until

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 308, the process proceeds to step 310 to determine whether the winning content is a big hit or a small hit.

  If it is determined that the jackpot is determined in step 310, the process proceeds to step 312 and the jackpot processing is executed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined at step 310 that the game is a small hit, the routine proceeds to step 314, where the attacker (B) 202 is released for a predetermined time.

  If the game ball PB is input while the attacker (B) 202 is released, a chance to win the V zone 200 is obtained.

  In the next step 316, it is determined whether or not there is a winning in the V zone 200. If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 318. In step 318, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed. If a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 316. In addition, when an affirmative determination is made in step 318, it is determined that there has been no winning in the V zone 200 within a predetermined period (no winning in the attacker (B) or reaching the losing zone 216), This routine ends.

If an affirmative determination is made in step 316, that is, a winning in the V zone 200 is detected, the process proceeds to step 312 to execute a jackpot process.
(Operation for jackpot)
When the special symbol lottery result is “big hit”, the special symbol display device 106 displays a predetermined combination of predetermined big hit symbols, such as “444”, for lighting effects. The player is notified that the jackpot has occurred by adding effects such as blinking of the indicator lamp 142 and sound effect output from the speakers 146L and 146R, and executes a predetermined jackpot operation.

  As a jackpot operation, the opening / closing operation of the door 116 opens the attacker (A) 112, for example, 10 counts (winning number) or a maximum of 30 seconds (one open time) / up to 16 rounds (continuous number of times). The operation of continuing is performed. As a result, the player can easily win a lot of winning balls by, for example, receiving 15 payouts per winning prize, for example, by making the released gaming balls enter the attacker (A) 112. At this time, the payout device 160 operates to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls, and the payout prize balls are discharged from the ball discharge port 46 to the ball tray portion 34 of the integrated dish 30.

  In addition, when the winning symbol is a combination of a predetermined specific symbol such as “777”, the “probability change mode” in which the next jackpot probability is increased after the above jackpot operation ends, or the jackpot An additional function such as “time reduction mode” in which the probability is not changed but the variation time is shortened is activated, and a gaming state advantageous to the player is developed.

(Operation for small hits)
On the other hand, when the lottery result of the special symbol is “small hit”, the special symbol display device 106 displays a predetermined combination of predetermined small hit symbols such as “4A4” and the illumination. An effect by blinking the effect indicator lamp 142 or sound effect output from the speakers 146L and 146R is added to notify the player that a small hit has occurred, and a predetermined small hit operation is executed.

  As the small hitting operation, the attacker (B) 202 is opened for 0.6 seconds + 1.6 seconds, for example, and the game ball PB can be won.

  The game ball PB won in the attacker (B) 202 reaches the cradle 210 via the pipe member 206, and is further fed from the cradle 210 to the stage 208, thereby rolling to the rotating plate 214. .

  The timing of this rolling and the rotation timing of the rotary plate 214 determine whether the game ball PB wins the V zone 200 or goes to the detach zone 216. When winning the V zone 200, the first ball The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 116 (opening / closing of the attacker (A) 112), which is the final operation of the game specification, is executed.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow for executing the effect symbol variation pattern in the symbol control unit 156.

  In step 350, it is determined whether a lottery result has been input. If the determination is negative, the routine ends.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 350, the process proceeds to step 352 to determine whether or not the lottery result is successful.

  If it is determined that the winning is determined in step 352, the process proceeds to step 354, the winning variation pattern already determined in the main control unit 150 is recognized, and the process proceeds to step 356. In step 356, it is determined whether or not the determined winning variation pattern passes through the reach pattern. In the case of winning, most of the patterns pass through the reach pattern. However, since there is a variation pattern in which all symbols stop at the winning symbol in rare cases, the presence / absence of the reach pattern is determined in this step 356.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 356, the process proceeds to step 358 to read information on the current performance status, and then in step 360, a reach pattern is read based on the current performance status, and the flow proceeds to step 362. On the other hand, if the determination in step 356 is negative, the process proceeds to step 364, where the winning variation pattern is read, and the process proceeds to 362.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step 352, that is, if there is a deviation, the process proceeds to step 366, where the fluctuation pattern already determined in the main control unit 150 is recognized, and the process proceeds to step 368. In step 368, it is determined whether or not the determined deviation variation pattern passes through the reach pattern.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step 368, the process proceeds to step 370 to read information on the current performance status, and then in step 372, a reach pattern is read based on the current performance status, and the flow proceeds to step 362. If the determination in step 368 is negative, the process proceeds to step 374, the deviation variation pattern is read, and the process proceeds to step 362.

  In step 362, the effect symbol variation pattern effect is executed based on the read variation pattern (reach pattern), and this routine ends.

As described above, in the present embodiment, an attacker (A ) In parallel with the advancement of the game of a predetermined number of times 112 and a predetermined number of times, a small hit is set for the lottery. The game specification is executed, and by winning the attacker (B) 202 and winning the V zone 200, the attacker (A) 112, which is the first game specification, can be released a predetermined number of times ( a predetermined number of times) since the first game specifications linked to the second game specifications was) that the third game specifications, two kinds of game specification can enjoy simultaneously the, and finally Atta any case Since setting the advantageous state of the common player that opening of the car (A) 112, it is possible to exert a synergistic effect on one another of the game property.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the attacker (A) 112 in the case where the lottery, the symbol variation pattern production, and the lottery are won (big hit) triggered by winning the special game start winning opening 106 which is the first game specification. In parallel with the progress of the game of a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times, a small hit is set for the lottery, and when this small hit is reached, the second game specification that the attacker (B) 202 opens for a predetermined time.
