2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, with regard to various gaming machines including pachinko machines, with the progress of computer technology,
Various computer controls are performed. In this way, as a result of the control by the computer, a so-called fever machine is provided in the pachinko machine, and it has been used for actual games.

In this fever machine, when a specific state is reached during the game, the accessory operates so that the score probability is remarkably improved. By operating the accessory in this manner, the accessory can be operated in a short time. Many prize balls are now available. In addition, more specifically, a plurality of reels having a plurality of patterns are provided on the board surface, and when each reel stops rotating, for example, when three numbers 7 are seen side by side,
The special winning holes, which are extremely easy to win, are opened for a certain period of time so that many prizes can be won in a short time. Normally, the specific winning hole is closed so that if there are 10 winnings, it is opened again so that the winning probability is high again. Finally, opening and closing is performed 10 times. The state that the winning probability was improved was ending.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, conventionally, with respect to the pachinko machine, the game property is enriched by improving the winning probability. However, in such a conventional pachinko machine, the game continues until the ball on hand ends or the game is stopped, so the winning probability improvement state as described above is repeated 10 times. It was possible.

On the other hand, regarding a mahjong type pachinko machine similar to a pachinko machine, one game ends due to the specified number of balls, so that the score probability in one game can be improved, but the score probability is improved over several games. Was not possible. Therefore, in the present invention, in a mahjong type pachinko machine, once a game in which the score probability is easily improved, by winning a specific accessory for a certain number of games, only the number of winning prizes is increased. This is a game in which the tiles can be freely selected to improve the game.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention constitutes one game with a fixed number of balls, and when there is a score at the end of one game, the score is obtained. In addition to paying out medals corresponding to, in the mahjong type pachinko machine that can improve the score probability when the score probability improving device operates and specific conditions are obtained,
A game is formed from a base game and a game in which the score probability is easily improved. In the base game, the score probability improving device operates to obtain a specific condition that facilitates the improvement of the score probability over a plurality of games. If it is given, the scoring probability improving device will operate for a certain number of games from the next game,
To make it easier to improve the score probability over multiple games
Develop a specific character under a simpler condition than the specific condition,
The feature is that, by winning the prize, the number of tiles can be freely selected by the number of winning prizes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The points of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings by taking a combination type pachinko machine similar to the mahjong type pachinko machine of the present invention as an example. FIG. 1 is a front view of a combination-type pachinko machine, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for determining the suitability of inserted medals.

The combination type pachinko machine shown in FIG.
The entire body is formed of a box body 50 and a front plate 51 of the entire box body 50. And the board surface 52 is fixed to the upper center of the front plate 51, and the handle 5 for the ball is attached to the lower center.
3 and a medal payout opening 54 are provided. Further, on the left side of the board surface 52, a medal insertion slot 55, a return slot 56, a return switch 57, a clearing switch 58, etc. are attached.

A rail 59 for guiding a ball hit by a ball is fixed to the board surface 52, and a display section 60 of the combination result, a rotary reel 61 as a score probability improving device, and a role are provided at the center of the board surface 52. An object 62 and a passing chucker 63 are provided. Here, comparing the appearance of such a combination type pachinko machine and the appearance of a mahjong type pachinko machine, the boards are different.

That is, although the board surface of the mahjong type pachinko machine has a structure of a board surface 52 which is almost the same as that of the combination type pachinko machine, although not shown in the drawing, the numeral provided below the board surface 52 of the combination type pachinko machine is attached. The chucker has been changed to a chucker with a mahjong pattern. Furthermore, in the combination type pachinko machine, the winning is decided by the combination of the numbers when the predetermined number of balls have been hit, but in the mahjong type pachinko machine, the predetermined number of balls are hit and the ball is struck again. It is formed so that a prize will be won if it is an uphill mahjong later.

In the flowchart for judging the suitability of inserted medals shown in FIG. 2, the mahjong type pachinko machine is set to a usable state by the start of the control program, and after the setting, the medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 55. (Step 1) becomes possible. Then, the medal selector provided on the back side of the medal insertion slot 55 of the mahjong type pachinko machine determines whether or not the inserted medal is appropriate (step 2).

As a result, if the inserted medal is not a true coin, it is returned to the medal return port 56 (step 3), and a series of operations is completed. If the inserted medal is a true coin, it is determined whether the game to be played is a normal game or a game in which it is easy to improve the winning probability (step 4). If the result of that judgment is a normal game,
When the normal game process shown in FIG. 3 is performed and the winning probability is easily improved, the game process shown in FIG. 4 is easily performed.

FIG. 3 is a control flowchart used when it is determined that the game is a normal game. After the game is started, the normal game is started (step 5). During the game that has started, it is determined whether or not the score probability improving device is operating (step 6). Here, the scoring probability improving device is formed from three reels 61 on which a plurality of patterns are described, as shown in FIG. 1, and the scoring probability is determined by the combination of the patterns when the reel 61 stops rotating. To improve the score, the numbers in the digitally displayed windows are sequentially different, and the score probability is improved by combining the numbers at the time of stop, or although not shown, 3
Make three sets of blocks in which the colors are colored alternately, form the colored parts of each block so that the light turns on sequentially, and improve the score probability by combining the colors when the movement of the light stops Something is possible.

The score probability improving device starts its operation when a prize is put into a specific winning hole or when a particular chucker is passed, and is stopped when a predetermined time elapses or a stop switch is turned on. Therefore, when the specific winning hole or the specific chucker is not passed, the score probability improving device may not be operated. Therefore, the score probability improving device may not operate at all during the game, but at that time, the player will enjoy the game of the normal combination type pachinko machine.

In that case, when a predetermined number of balls have been hit,
The presence or absence of a score is determined based on the game result displayed on the display unit 60 (step 7). If there is no score, the game ends. In the case of a mahjong type pachinko machine, after hitting a predetermined number of balls, the game ends by hitting a further predetermined number of balls if necessary, so it is judged whether there is a score at this time (step 7) If there is no score, the game ends.

When there is a score, the number A of payout medals corresponding to the score is stored (step 8), and then the medals are sequentially paid out one by one to the payout opening 54 (step 9). Further, when the medals are paid out in this way, the payout counter B increments the count value by one for each payout of one medal (step 10), and then the memory value A of the number of paid-out medals is compared with the count value B. (Step 11),
The medal payout work is continued until the values become equal.

When the payout is completed, the payout counter B and the memory (A) are cleared (step 12).
One game ends. On the other hand, when the score probability improving device is activated, this state is determined in step 6, so it is next determined whether or not a predetermined combination is established (step 13).

If the combination is not established as a result, the process proceeds to step 7 and the subsequent steps, and the same processing as described above is performed. However, when the combination is established, it is determined whether the combination is a valid combination only for that game or a combination that can easily improve the score probability over a plurality of games (step 14).

If the result of the determination is that only the game is valid, the process proceeds to step 7 and the subsequent steps. On the other hand, when the combination is such that the score probability is easily improved so that the combination is spread over a plurality of games, a display light to that effect is turned on (step 1
5) From the next game, it is easy to improve the winning probability (step 16), and then the processes from step 7 are executed again.

That is, when a predetermined number of balls (usually 16 balls) have been hit, regardless of whether or not there is a combination, and whether or not it is easy to improve the score probability from the next game, the game is obtained in that game. The medals corresponding to the points are paid out, and 1
The game will end. In the case of a mahjong type pachinko machine, after hitting a predetermined number of balls (usually 14 balls), hitting a predetermined number of balls (for example, 5 balls) again, the presence or absence of a combination, and the score from the next game. Regardless of whether or not it is easy to improve the probability, medals corresponding to the points obtained in the game are paid out, and one game is completed.

Further, 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 is "7".
It is possible that it is any one of “−”, “−7−”, and “−-7”. At this time, the specific character object 62 that is easy to win is opened for 1 second, and the specific character is It is conceivable that, by winning the prize 62, the number of tiles can be freely selected by the number of prizes, thereby improving the score probability.

Further, as a concrete example of the establishment of another combination in step 13, the reel 61 which has stopped is "7".
7- ”,“ -77 ”, or“ 7-7 ”, and at this time, the specific character 62 that is easy to win is opened for 10 seconds, and the specific character 62 is It is possible to improve the score probability by allowing the player to freely select the type of tile by the number of winning prizes.

When the combination of the reels 61 that have stopped spinning is "777", the specific winning component 62 that is easy to win is opened for 30 seconds, which corresponds to the improvement of the score probability in step 13, and the specific By winning one of the prizes 62, it is possible to freely select the number of tiles corresponding to the number of winning prizes, and it is easy to improve the winning probability for a certain number of games from the next game in step 14. Will also be.

Further, in this embodiment, during the game in which the winning probability is easily improved, when the symbol "7" is present even in a part of the reel 61 which has stopped, it is configured to be easy to win like "777". By opening the specific character 62 for 30 seconds and winning the specific character 62, the number of types of tiles can be freely selected by the number of winning prizes.

FIG. 4 is a processing routine in the case where it is judged by the judgment in step 4 described above that the winning probability is easily improved, and the game is started (step 1
7), the counter C is incremented (step 1
8) Then, it is judged whether or not the score probability improving device is activated (step 19). In this embodiment, since the score probability is not improved because the score probability improving device does not operate, when it is determined in step 19 that the score probability improving device does not operate, it is determined whether or not there is a score in the normal game. In the same way as the judgment step 7, it is judged in step 20 whether or not there is a score.

When it is determined in step 20 that there is a score, the processes shown in steps 7 to 12 of FIG. 2 are performed. That is, steps 21 to 25
The medals are paid out to the payout opening 54 by the series of processes up to. When the payout of medals is completed in this way, it is determined whether or not there is a game end signal that facilitates the improvement of the winning probability described later (step 26), and if there is an end signal, the counter C is cleared (step 2).
After 7), the game ends.

If it is determined in step 26 that there is no game end signal, it is then determined whether or not the count value C of the counter in step 18 exceeds 20 in this example (step 28). When the total number of games has not reached 20 (20-C> 0), the game ends, but the next game also becomes a game under the condition that it is easy to improve the winning probability.

Further, here, the count value C of the counter is 20.
When it is determined that the game has been reached under the condition that the winning probability is easily improved over 20 games in total (20-C = 0), the total number of games in the counter C and the score probability improving state described later is achieved. After clearing the counter D for counting (step 29), this condition is canceled (step 30), the game that facilitates the improvement of the winning probability ends, and the next game returns to the normal game. .

If it is determined in step 20 that there is no score, the process proceeds 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 combination (step 31). That is, in the example described above, the symbol "7" appears on a part of the reel that has stopped
It will be determined whether or not there is.

If there is no "7", the process proceeds to step 20 and the same processing as described above is executed. If there is at least one "7" in each reel, the presence of the specific symbol is confirmed, and in this case, the score probability is improved, so the counter D for counting the probability improvement number is incremented. (Step 32).

Next, it is judged whether or not the value of the probability improvement number counter D is more than 10 in this example (step 33). When the counter D is less than 10 (10-D> 0), the process proceeds to step 20, and processing such as score determination and payout of medals is performed. Again 10
If (10-D = 0), the counter D is cleared (step 34), the end signal of the game that facilitates the improvement of the winning probability is issued (step 35), and then the same goes to step 20. To do.

That is, when the combination type pachinko machine is controlled by this program, once a game state in which the score probability is easily improved over a plurality of games, the state is maintained for 20 games thereafter (step 28). )
However, after playing the game in a state where it is easy to improve the score probability 10 times in the 20 games, the game in which the score probability is easily improved ends regardless of the total number of the 20 games (step 33). ), A new normal game state is set.

Therefore, although the game property can be improved, the game property cannot be enhanced. Note that the 10 games or 20 games in the above description is merely an example, and other numbers of games may be used. The score probability improving device can also be formed as something other than the rotating reel 61.

Further, the accessory 62 is not limited to the shape shown in the drawing, and the shape is not limited as long as the score probability is improved.

[0035]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a mahjong-type pachinko machine, when a game in which the score probability is easily improved once, it becomes a specific character for a certain number of games. By winning the prize, the number of kinds of tiles can be freely selected by the number of winning prizes to improve the game.
