DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a variable winning device changes a first state disadvantageous to a player to a second state advantageous to a player based on a combination of symbols displayed by a variable display device. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols and a condition for validating the start of the variable display of the variable display device are created in a game section where a hit ball fired by a player flows down. and starting means, and a convertible fluctuations winning device and a second state advantageous to the first state and the player are disadvantageous to Yu technique's distribution
A variety of pachinko machines have been proposed, including a continuation unit for creating a condition for maintaining the second state of the variable winning device and a control unit for controlling the devices.

[0003]

However, the conventional pachinko machines of this type are basically similar in structure, although there are differences in design, and are currently tired of players. It is. Further, the probability that the specific state is established in the variable display device is kept constant during the game and does not change. Therefore, if the probability that the specific state is established is increased, the profit of the player increases, but the profit decreases in the case of a game store, and it is difficult to balance the profits of the two. Therefore, in the end, the gambling ability is increased and the gambling is instigated.

In addition, in the conventional variable display device, except for the combination of symbols in a specific state, it is only "outlier" that does not make sense to the player, and does not enhance the interest of pachinko games.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and has a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols in a game section in which a hit ball shot by a player flows down, and the variable display. A pachinko machine having a starting means for creating a condition for validating the start of the variable display of the device, and a variable winning device convertible between a first state unfavorable to the player and a second state advantageous to the player. , A variable winning device that can be converted into a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player is provided in the gaming section, and operating means for operating the variable winning device is provided; Below and in front of the variable display
Above the variable winning device, and the variable winning device
The starting means, the operating means, and the variable winning device are disposed at positions within the width of the mounting base, and the operating conditions of the operating means are changed based on predetermined conditions. .

[0006]

According to the combination of symbols displayed by the variable display device, the conditions under which the variable winning device operates can be easily achieved, or relatively difficult to achieve, or change. In addition, since the starting means, the operating means, and the variable winning device are located concentratedly within a predetermined range in a substantially central portion of the game section, there is no need to hit a ball in accordance with a game state.

On the left and right sides of the special symbol display device 3, a start storage indicator for displaying the memory of the start means 6 as described later. 25 are provided.

Below the special symbol display device 3, there is provided a normal symbol display device 4 constituting an operating means. The ordinary symbol display device 4 includes a small symbol display device 18b capable of displaying two digits.

Then, the front end surfaces of the special symbol display device 3 and the ordinary symbol display device 4 are attached to the mounting board 15 of the central accessory 5.
A recess 26 having a front surface opening is formed on the rear side of the mounting board 15 at a position rearward of the mounting board 15, and an ordinary electric accessory 27 as a variable winning device is arranged at a lowermost position of the recess 26.

The ordinary electric accessory 27 is provided with the concave portion 26.
A slidable bottom plate 29 faces a winning portion 28 established at the bottom of the vehicle. A normal electric solenoid 30 as a drive source and a bottom plate 29 guided by a guide groove 31 are connected via a lever mechanism 32. Has been contacted. The bottom plate 29 is provided with a gentle downward slope toward the front, and the bottom plate 29 closes the winning portion 28 in a normal state where the ordinary electric solenoid 30 is demagnetized, but when the ordinary electric solenoid 30 is excited, the bottom plate 29 is By retracting and opening the winning portion 28, the ball can be taken in behind the mounting board 15, that is, behind the game board 1 as a winning ball. When the ordinary electric accessory 27 is open, the ordinary electric accessory indicator light 33 is lit to indicate that the ordinary electric accessory 27 is open. At the center of the bottom plate 29, there is provided a pyramid-shaped distribution member 29a for distributing the ball on the bottom plate 29 to the left and right. The bottom plate 29 is gently downwardly inclined forward.

On the other hand, on the front side of the mounting board 15, in addition to the above-mentioned armor section 16, an inner decoration 34 for guiding or obstructing a hit ball flowing down the game section 2 to the side edge of the window into the recess 26. In addition, a lower ornament 35 is provided at the lower edge of the window so as to guide the hit ball to the concave portion 26, that is, the ordinary electric accessory 27. The lower ornament 35 has a guide plate 35a at its upper edge for guiding a ball, and a drop port 35b is opened in the middle of the guide plate 35a in the lateral direction. Is open. Therefore, when the ordinary electric accessory 27 is not operated, that is, when the bottom plate 29 covers the winning portion 28, the hit ball flowing into the concave portion 26 falls down and flows down the gaming portion 2 again.

The large winning opening unit 9 disposed below the game section 2 has a horizontally long opening 37 in the mounting base 36 and a gate plate 38 which covers the opening 37 so that it can be opened and closed.
And a variable winning device 8 provided with a special winning opening solenoid (not shown) as a driving source. A front decoration 39 is provided below the variable winning device 8 to form a large winning device described below. A winning opening winning number display lamp 40 is provided. A specific region 41 is formed at the center of the opening 37, and the specific region 4 is formed.
A continuation switch 42 for detecting a sphere flowing into 1 is provided.
The continuation switch 42 is a second switch which is advantageous to a player described later.
A continuation unit for creating a condition for maintaining the state is configured. Further, a 10-count switch 43 is provided downstream of the opening 37 so that all the balls flowing into the opening 37 can be detected.

In the above-mentioned variable winning device 8, the gate plate 38 is in an upright state in a normal state, and a first ball which is disadvantageous to a player who cannot hit a ball flowing down the game section 2 into the opening 37 can be used.
However, when a specific condition described later is satisfied, the gate plate 38 is tilted forward by the driving of the driving source, and the opening 3
7 and the ball flowing down the game section 2 is opened 37
Is converted to a second state advantageous to the player, which is taken in as a winning ball. At this time, the special winning opening opening indicator light 44 is turned on.
Hereinafter, such a variable winning device 8 is simply referred to as a special winning opening 8 '.

On the other hand, on the left and right sides of the special winning opening 8 ',
As described above, a special start port 6b provided with a special start switch 6a is arranged so that the special symbol display device 3 as a variable display device constitutes a start means 6 for creating a condition for starting a variable display of symbols. I do. The function of the starting means 6 is the same as that of the starting means 6 provided independently below the central accessory 5.

Next, a description will be given of a game in a pachinko machine as described above. A predetermined number, for example, fifteen prize balls are paid out when the player wins the mouth, and, for example, seven prize balls are paid out when the player wins the special starting port.

When the hit ball passes through the operation gate 7 and the ordinary start switch 7a is turned on, the ordinary symbol display device 4, which is an actuating means, starts to display the variation of the symbol. There are four types of symbols on the normal symbol display device 4 on both the left and right. And about 6.5
If more than two seconds elapse, the normal symbol display device 4 will display the normal symbol left,
Normally, the fluctuation display is stopped in the order of the right of the symbol. As a result, when the combination mode of the stopped symbols is "77", the ordinary electric accessory 27, which is a variable winning device, is changed to the second state advantageous for the player for about 5.5 seconds. That is, the ordinary electric solenoid 30 of the ordinary electric accessory 27 is excited for 5.5 seconds to retreat the bottom plate 29 to open the winning portion 28. Therefore, in this state, the ball that flows into the concave portion 26 of the central accessory 5 is a winning ball. The details of the symbol variation and combination of the ordinary symbol display device 4 will be described later.

On the other hand, a special starting port 6 constituting the starting means 6
When the ball is entered and the special start switch 6a is turned on, the special symbol display device 3 starts changing the symbol. There are 16 types of symbols on the special symbol display device 3, both from left to right, from numbers “0 to 9” and the alphabet “ACHLPU”. When about 6.5 seconds or more elapse, the special symbol display device 3
Stops the variable display in the order of special symbol left, special symbol right, and special symbol. As a result, when the combination of the stopped symbols is a predetermined combination, the variable winning device 8 (large winning opening 8 ').
Converts to a second state in favor of the player for 29.5 seconds. That is, the large winning opening solenoid is excited for 29.5 seconds to rotate the gate plate 38 to take the ball into the opening 37.
Then, when the captured ball passes through the specific area 41 and the continuation switch 42 is turned on, a maximum of 16
The opening of the opening portion 37 is repeated until this time. In addition, big winning opening 8 '
When the 10 count switch 43 detects 10 balls, the opening is stopped even before 29.5 seconds have elapsed.

Up to four balls entering the special start port 6b can be stored, and this storage is performed by the special start storage indicator 2
If the display is visible and indicated by 5 and there is a memory, the variable display is started again after the variable display of the symbol is stopped or after the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 'is completed.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, the control means for controlling the game as described above is an electrical control device centering on the MPU. The MPU is provided together with the input / output interface in the block diagram of FIG. The following system processing is performed.

Next, the processing of the control means will be described with reference to FIGS.
18 and the time charts of FIGS. 18 to 20 will be described in detail. The processing shown in FIGS. 6 to 17 is an interrupt processing started by an interrupt signal input to the MPU every 4 msec. This interrupt processing is performed so that the time from start to end does not exceed 4 msec. It is.

6 to 17, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, it is determined whether or not the power is turned on. In this case, since the power is turned on, the process proceeds to S2, where R
After the content of AM is cleared, the process proceeds to S90, where a random number generation process described later is executed, and then the random number generation process is repeated in S91 until an interrupt signal is input. When the interrupt signal is input, the power is already turned on this time in S1, so the process proceeds to S3, and the state of the switch is checked. Then, when it is detected that a short circuit or disconnection has occurred in each switch, an error flag is set. In the next S4, it is determined whether or not the error flag is set in the above-described S3 and S70 described later. If the error flag is set, the process proceeds to S5, and after the error processing is executed, the process proceeds to S24. move on. On the other hand, if the error flag is not set, the process proceeds to S6, where the special start winning and the normal start winning are detected, and the special start winning storing process is executed.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, first, at S6-1, it is determined whether or not the special start switch has been turned on.
Proceeding to S2-3, after adding "1" to the starting memory,
To set the start winning flag. If the switch has not been turned on, the process proceeds to S6-4. In the next S6-4, it is determined whether or not the ordinary start switch is turned on. If not, the process proceeds to S6-13. On the other hand, if it is turned on, the process proceeds to S6-5, and it is determined whether any of the "normal symbol rotation mode", the "normal symbol stop mode", and the "normal symbol mode" is set. If is set, the process proceeds to S6-13. Thus, after the normal symbol starts rotating (normal symbol rotation mode), the normal symbol stops and the combination determination ends (normal symbol stop mode). Until the opening of the symbol ends (normal combination mode), the detection of the normal start switch is invalidated, and the normal symbol does not start rotating.

On the other hand, if none of the above-mentioned modes has been set, the process proceeds to S6-6, where 6 seconds are set to the normal symbol automatic stop timer. Then, in the next S6-7, the ordinary symbol rotation mode is set, and in S6-8, the ordinary symbol stop flag is cleared. Then, in S6-9, S
At step 90, the random number value of the random number per pattern is set and stored. Next, in S6-10,
It is determined whether or not the probability variation flag has been set. If the probability variation flag has been set, S6-11
Then, the process goes to step S91 to store the random number of the random number for determining a normal symbol per symbol created and set in S91. And S6-1
In step 2, the stored random number per symbol is set as the random number per symbol.

In the next step S6-13, it is determined whether or not the start memory is "0". If the start memory is "0", the flow returns to the original processing. On the other hand, if the start memory is not “0”, the process proceeds to S6-14, and it is determined whether the start memory is “6” or more. If it is not "6" or more, the process proceeds to S6-20, sets the start mode, and returns to the original process. On the other hand, if the start memory is “6”,
In S6-3, it is determined whether or not the start winning flag has been set, and if it has been set, the process proceeds to S6-18. On the other hand, if it is not set, the process proceeds to S6-16, it is determined whether or not any of the modes relating to the special symbol game is set. If neither is set, the process proceeds to S6-17 to store the starting memory. After clearing, return to the original processing. On the other hand, if any mode is set, the process proceeds to S6-18, where "5" is set in the start memory, and thereafter, the start winning flag is cleared in S6-19, and in the next S6-20. Set the start mode and return to the original processing.

In S7, it is determined whether or not the special symbol rotation mode has been set.
Proceed to 15. On the other hand, if it is set, the process proceeds to S8, in which the special symbol stop timer (set in the mode of S43 described later) is subtracted, and in the next S9, the special symbol subtraction timer becomes "0". (Time up)
It is determined whether or not the value is “0”, and the process proceeds to S15. On the other hand, if it is "0", the process proceeds to S10, the special symbol stop mode is set, the special symbol rotation mode is cleared in the next S11, 0.5 seconds in the special symbol left stop timer in S12. In step S13, the special symbol left random number created and set in step S91 is stored, and in the next step S14, the stop position (symbol) of the special symbol left corresponding to the stored special symbol left random number is set.
Proceed to.

In S15, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol rotation mode is set. If not, the process proceeds to S24. On the other hand, if the ordinary symbol rotation mode is set, the process proceeds to S16, and it is determined whether or not the ordinary combination mode or the ordinary symbol stop mode is set. If the ordinary symbol rotation mode is set, the process proceeds to S24. move on.
On the other hand, if it is not set, the process proceeds to S17, in which the normal symbol automatic stop timer set in S6-6 is subtracted.

Then, in the next S18, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol automatic stop timer has become "0" (time-up). If not, the flow proceeds to S24. On the other hand, if it is "0", the process proceeds to S19, the normal symbol stop mode is set, and in the next S20, the normal symbol left stop timer is set to 0.5 seconds. Thereafter, in S21, it is determined whether or not the random number value of the normal random number per symbol set in S6-12 is "0".
If so, the process proceeds to S23. On the other hand, if it is not "0",
In S22, the random number value of the ordinary symbol loss random number created and set in S90 described later is stored.

[0029] In the next S2 3, to set the normal symbol left, right of the stop position (symbol). For example, if the determined random number per ordinary symbol is “0”, “7, 7” is set. If the determined random number per ordinary symbol is not “0” and the random number out of the ordinary symbol is “0”, , "7, 0" are set. Similarly, when the determined random number per symbol is not “0”, and when the random number out of the ordinary symbol is “1”, it is “7, 2”, when it is “2”, it is “7, 4”, and “3”. Is “0,7”, “4” is “0,0”, “5” is “0,2”, “6” is “0,4”, and “7” is “ 2,7 "," 8 "
Is "2,0", "9" is "2,2", "1"
"0" is "2,4", "11" is "4,4"
"4, 0" for "7" and "12", "4, 2" for "13", and "4, 4" for "14", and then the flow proceeds to S24.

In S24, a combination symbol count-up process, a symbol stop process, and a stop symbol determination process are executed. More specifically, first, in S24-1, the special symbol left offset address is loaded, and in the next S24-2, the special symbol left update check number is loaded with "11".
At -3, a special symbol left stop flag is loaded, and the process proceeds to S24-A.

The processing of S24-A will be described in detail.
In 24-A-1, the special symbol left update check number "11" loaded in S24-2 is set, and the next S24
In -A-2, it is determined whether or not a symbol stop flag (special symbol left stop flag) is set. If the flag is set, the process proceeds to S24-A-7. On the other hand, if the symbol stop flag (special symbol left stop flag) has not been set, the process proceeds to S24-A-3, where "1" is added to the symbol offset counter, and the process proceeds to S24-A-4. It is determined whether or not the value of the symbol offset counter is smaller than the symbol update check number (in this case, smaller than "11", and if smaller, the process proceeds to S24-A-7. If not smaller ("11" or more) Goes to S24-A-5, clears the symbol offset counter ("0",
In step A-A-6, "1" is added to the data of the currently displayed symbol, and the process proceeds to step S24-A-7, in which step S24-A- is performed.
At 7, the symbol data is updated and set.

In the next step S24-A-8, it is determined whether or not the ordinary combination mode is set. If the ordinary combination mode is set, the flow advances to step S24-A-20. On the other hand, if the normal combination mode is not set, the process proceeds to S24-A-9.
The process proceeds to step S24, where it is determined whether or not the normal symbol stop mode is set. If the normal symbol stop mode is set, the process proceeds to S24-A-10. If the normal symbol stop mode is not set, the process proceeds to S24-A-20. . In S24-A-10, it is determined whether or not the ordinary symbol offset address has been loaded. If the ordinary symbol offset address has not been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-A-20, and if it has been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-A. Proceed to -11. In this case, since the normal symbol offset address has not been loaded, S24
The process proceeds to -A-20, and S24-A-11 and below will be described later.

In S24-A-20, it is determined whether or not any of the major role mode and the role termination mode is set.
If any is set, the process proceeds to S24-4.
On the other hand, when neither the large combination mode nor the combination end mode is set, the process proceeds to S24-A-21, and it is determined whether or not the special symbol stop mode is set. If the special symbol stop mode has not been set, the process proceeds to S24-4, and if it has been set, it is determined in S24-A-22 whether a special symbol offset address has been loaded. If the special symbol offset address has not been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-4. In this case, since the special symbol left offset address has been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-A-23. S24-A-2
At 3, it is determined whether or not the special symbol left center right stop flag is set, and if it is set, the process proceeds to S24-A-.
Proceed to S24, and if not set, proceed to S24-B.

The processing in S24-B will be described in detail. First, in S24-B-1, it is determined whether or not a symbol stop flag has been set. In this case, it is determined whether or not the special symbol left stop flag has been set. The process proceeds to S24-4 if set, and proceeds to S24-B-2 if not set. In S24-B-2, it is determined whether or not the special symbol left offset address has been loaded. In this case, it has been loaded.
Proceed to B-5. The next step S24-B-5 is a step of subtracting either the special symbol stop timer or the normal symbol stop timer. In this case, the special symbol left stop timer (set in S12) is subtracted. I do. Then, in the next S24-B-6, it is determined whether or not the subtracted special symbol left stop timer has become "0" (whether or not the time has expired). −
The process proceeds to S4, and if it is "0", the process proceeds to S24-B-7.

In S24-B-7, it is determined whether or not the stop position (symbol) on the left of the special symbol set in S14 matches the symbol currently displayed. The process proceeds to step S4, but if they match, S24-B-8
Proceed to. In S24-B-8, it is determined whether or not the special symbol left offset address has been loaded. In this case, since the special symbol left offset address has been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-B-9 and proceeds to S24-B-9.
In B-9, the special symbol right random number created and set in S91 is stored, and in the next S24-B-10, a special symbol right stop position (symbol) corresponding to the stored special symbol right random number is set. After proceeding to S24-B-11 and setting the special symbol right stop timer to 0.5 seconds, S24-B-1
In S2, the special symbol left stop flag is set, and S24-
Proceed to 4.

In S24-4, the special symbol offset address is loaded, and in the next S24-5, the special symbol update check number is loaded with "7". And S24
In -6, when the special symbol left and the special symbol right stop,
It is determined whether the left and right have stopped at the same symbol, that is, whether there is a special symbol left / right match flag set. If not, the process proceeds to S24-8. On the other hand, in the case of the same symbol, in S24-7, "7" loaded in the special symbol update check number is changed to "80" and loaded. As a result, when the special symbol left and the special symbol right coincide with each other and stop (so-called reach eye), the update speed in the special symbol becomes slow, and the expectation of a big hit is improved. Then, in the next S24-8, the special symbol stop flag is loaded, and the process proceeds to S24-A.

The processing of S24-A will be described in detail.
In 24-A-1, the number of special symbol update checks ("7" or "8") loaded in S24-5 or S24-7.
0 ") is set, and in the next S24-A-2, it is determined whether or not a symbol stop flag is set, in this case, whether or not the special symbol left / right stop flag is set. Proceed to A-7. On the other hand, if it is not set, in step S24-A-3, "1" is added to the symbol offset counter, and in step S24-A-4, the process proceeds to step S24-A-4.
Symbol update check number set in 24-A-1 and S24
The value is compared with the value of the symbol offset counter subjected to the addition processing in -A-3. If the symbol update check number is larger than the symbol offset counter, S24-A-7.
If the symbol offset counter is larger, the process proceeds to S24-A-5, where the symbol offset counter is cleared, and the symbol data is set to "1" in the next S24-A-6.
Is added. Then, in S24-A-7, the symbol data is updated and set, and the process proceeds to S24-A-8.

In S24-A-8, it is determined whether or not the ordinary combination mode is set. If the ordinary combination mode is set, the process proceeds to S24-A-20, but if the ordinary combination mode is not set, the process proceeds to S24. The process proceeds to -A-9, and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol stop mode is set. If the normal symbol stop mode is not set, the process proceeds to S24-A-20, and if the normal symbol stop mode is set, S24-A is set. Proceed to -10. In S24-A-10, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol offset address has been loaded. In this case, since the special symbol offset address has been loaded, the normal symbol offset address has not been loaded.
Proceed to 24-A-20. On the other hand, if the normal symbol offset address has been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-A-11.

In S24-A-20, it is determined whether or not any of the major role mode and the role termination mode is set.
If it is set, the process proceeds to S24-9. On the other hand, if it is not set, the process proceeds to S24-A-21, and it is determined whether or not the special symbol stop mode is set. S if the special symbol stop mode is not set
Proceed to 24-9, and if set, S24-A-
Proceed to 22. In S24-A-22, it is determined whether or not the special symbol offset address has been loaded. In this case, since the special symbol offset address has been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-A-23. If the address has not been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-9. In S24-A-23, it is determined whether or not the special symbol left center right stop flag is set. If the flag is set, the process proceeds to S24-A-24 to determine whether or not the special symbol offset address is set. In this case, since the special symbol offset address has been loaded, the process proceeds to S24-A-25, but if not, the process proceeds to S24-9.

Next, in S24-A-25, a special symbol combination check waiting timer (set in S24-B-14 described later) is subtracted, and in the next S24-A-26, the special symbol combination is checked. It is determined whether or not the check wait timer has reached “0” (whether or not the time has expired). If the check wait timer has not reached “0”, the process proceeds to S24-9.

On the other hand, when the value of the normal symbol per determination random number in S90-2 is "80" less than,
In S90-4, the value is set as a random number for determining a normal symbol. In the next 90-5, "1" is added to the value of the ordinary symbol loss random number (the value set in the previous process), and in the next S90-6, the value of the ordinary symbol loss random number after the addition is changed. It is determined whether or not “15” or more has been reached. In the case of "15" or more, in S90-7, the normal random number is cleared ("0"), and the next S
At 90-8, "0" is set as a normal symbol loss random number. On the other hand, if it is determined in S90-6 that the value is smaller than "15", the value is set as a normal symbol loss random number in S90-8, and the process proceeds to S91. In S91, the random number generation processing is repeatedly executed until an interrupt signal (generated every 4 ms) is input. Then, when an interrupt signal is input, the process from S1 on is executed. The processing of S91 will be described in detail below.

In step S91, a process of creating a random number for a normal symbol per symbol and a process of creating a random number of a special symbol in the middle left and right is performed. First, in S91-1, the address of the ordinary random number per symbol is loaded, and in the next S91-2, the update check number "8" of the ordinary random number per symbol is loaded, and the process proceeds to S91-A.

At S91-A, the following processing is executed. S
In step 91-A-1, the value of the random number for normal symbol determination set in the previous processing is incremented by "1", and in step S91-A-2, the added random number is set in step S9.
It is determined whether the number of update checks loaded in step 1-2 is "8" or more. If the value is equal to or more than "8", the process proceeds to S91-A-3 to clear the random number value ("0").
Then, in the next S91-A-4, "0" is set as a random number for determining a normal symbol, and the process proceeds to S91-3.

In S91-3, it is determined whether or not the value of the normal random number per symbol set in S91-A-2 is "0". It returns to S91-1. On the other hand, if it is "0", the process proceeds to S91-4, where the special symbol right random number address is loaded, and in the next S91-5, "16" is loaded as the special symbol right random number update check number, and S91- Go to A. In S91-A, first, in S91-A-1, "1" is added to the value of the special symbol right random number set in the previous processing, and the added processing is performed in the next S91-A-2. It is determined whether the random number value has become equal to or greater than the update check number “16” loaded in S91-5.
If it is "16" or more, the process proceeds to S91-A-3, where the random number value is cleared ("0"), and "0" is set as a special symbol right random number in the next S91-A-4. On the other hand, S9
If it is determined in 1-A-2 that the random number is smaller than "16", the random number value is set as a special symbol right random number in S91-A-4.
, And the process proceeds to S91-6.

In S91-6, it is determined whether or not the value of the special symbol right random number that has been set is "0". If it is not "0", the flow returns to S91-1, and if it is "0", S91-7. Proceed to. In S91-7, the special symbol random number address is loaded. In the next S91-8, the special symbol random number update check number is loaded with "16", and the process proceeds to S91-A. Here, first, in S91-A-1, "1" is added to the value of the random number in the special symbol set in the previous process, and in the next S91-A-2, the added random number value is added. Is determined to be not less than the special symbol random number update check number “16” loaded in S91-8.
If the value is equal to or greater than "16", the process proceeds to S91-A-3, where the random number value is cleared ("0"), and the next S91-A-4.
Sets "0" as a random number in the special symbol. On the other hand, S
If it is determined in 91-A-2 that the value is smaller than "16", the random number value is set as a special symbol random number in S91-A-4, and the process proceeds to S91-9.

In S91-9, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number in the special symbol that has been set is "0". If it is not "0", the flow returns to S91-1, and if it is "0", S91-10. Proceed to. In S91-10, the special symbol left random number address is loaded, and in the next S91-11, the special symbol left random number update check number is loaded with "16", and the process proceeds to S91-A. In S91-A, first, in S91-A-1,
"1" is added to the value of the special symbol left random number set in the previous process, and in step S91-A-2, the added random number is loaded in step S91-11. It is determined whether or not the number of update checks has reached “16” or more. If the number is equal to or greater than "16", S91-
The random number value is cleared ("0") in A-3, and "0" is set as a special symbol left random number in the next S91-A-4. On the other hand, if it is determined in S91-A-2 that the value is smaller than "16", the random number value is set as a special symbol left random number in S91-A-4, and S91-1 is set.
Return to

Thereafter, as described above, the processing of S91-1 and the subsequent steps are repeatedly executed until the interrupt signal is input.

Further, details of the main part of the game described above will be described based on the processing of the control means.

As described above, the normal symbol display device 4
The types of symbols, ie, “7”, “0”, “2”, and “4” can be displayed. From the time the pachinko machine is turned on, the left of the normal symbol is the interrupt time (4 ms) for one symbol. It moves (rotates) at an integral multiple of, for example, 44 msec.
The symbol moves (rotates) at a cycle of, for example, 52 ms. Then, when the hit ball passes through the operation gate 7 and the ordinary start switch 7a is turned on, the ordinary symbol left stops after a fixed time (for example, after 6 seconds), and then the ordinary symbol right stops. When the combination of the symbols displayed by the ordinary symbol display device 4 is a hit, the ordinary electric accessory 27 is opened.

The determination of the hit of the ordinary symbol display device 4 is "0
７９79 ”is performed by using a hit determination random number having 80 values. Every time an interrupt signal is input from power-on, an addition process is performed by“ 1 ”, and the random number value when the normal start switch 7a is turned on is“ The case of "0" is set as a hit, and the case of other numerical values is set as out. Therefore, the normal symbol display device 4
Is 1/80. In the case of a hit, "77" is usually displayed on the symbol display device 4, and in the case of a loss, a display of a loss corresponding to a loss random number having a value of "0 to 14" separately created, for example, "70""
“72”, “74”,... Are displayed.

On the other hand, the special symbol left of the special symbol display device 3
In the special design, the special design right is "0-9" and [ACHL]
PU] can be displayed respectively, and a random number for a left symbol (0-15) and a random number for a medium symbol (0-1) are respectively displayed.
5) Display the symbol corresponding to the right symbol random number (0-15). Until these symbol random numbers are reset by the interrupt signal, the addition process is repeated in order of right, middle, and left by "1". Then, after the symbol starts to change, 6
The symbol corresponding to the value of the random number after the lapse of seconds is a stop symbol,
After elapse of the time required to match the determined symbol at 0.5 seconds, the special symbol left stops. Next, after a required time elapses from the stop of the special symbol left to coincide with the determined symbol at 0.5 seconds, the right of the special symbol stops. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the right of the special symbol has stopped, the special symbol stops. The predetermined time differs depending on whether the symbol displayed by the special symbol left (hereinafter, referred to as symbol left) and the symbol displayed by the special symbol right (hereinafter, symbol right) match or not.

That is, if the symbol left and the symbol right do not match, the special symbol stops after the required time elapses until the symbol coincides with the determined symbol in 0.5 seconds as described above. on the other hand,
When the left symbol left and the symbol right coincide, the special symbol stops in 5.3 seconds after the time required until the symbol coincides with the determined symbol is added. In this case, the time required for converting one symbol in the special symbol is changed to 320 ms. In this way, the stop during the special symbol is delayed to improve the player's expectation. At this time, the motor is driven to reciprocate in the special symbol (movable frame 19) back and forth, and returns to the original position and stops 0.5 seconds after the stop in the special symbol.

Then, after a lapse of 0.5 seconds after the special symbol stops, a combination is determined, and if the symbol left, the symbol right, and the symbol match, a big hit (large combination) is obtained. When you hit a jackpot,
The special winning opening solenoid is excited to open the special winning opening 8 ', turn on the special winning opening opening indicator light 44, and generate a sound effect from the speaker. During opening, a stop symbol is lit on the left side of the special symbol and right side of the special symbol, and the number of times of opening the special winning opening 8 'is displayed in the special symbol.

As described above, even if the symbol left and the symbol right match, if the symbol does not match, the pattern will be lost. The operating condition of the electric accessory 27 changes. That is, the special symbol display device 3 is, for example, “323”, “343”,
When “767” or “787” is displayed, the random number for determining the hit of the ordinary symbol display device 4 is converted into a hit determining random number composed of eight numerical values. Also in the case of the hit determination random number, “0” is set as the hit, and in the case of the hit, [77] is normally displayed on the symbol display device 4. Therefore,
The probability of winning is 1/8, which is 1 compared to the normal case.
The ordinary electric accessory 27 will be opened with a probability of 0 times,
Benefit the player. Then, when this state occurs, the probability improvement indicating lamp 45 is turned on.

However, if this state is continued, the amusement store becomes disadvantageous. Therefore, the special symbol display device 3 displays the combination mode of the big hit, that is, the symbol left, the symbol right and the symbol coincide with each other. Or “101”, “121”, “21”
2 "," 232 "," 434 "," 454 "," 54 "
5], “565”, “656”, “676”, “87”
In the case of the combination mode of “8” and “898”, the probability of the normal symbol display device 4 being hit is restored. That is, the random number for determining the hit of the ordinary symbol display device 4 is returned to the hit determining random number consisting of 80 numerical values.

In this embodiment, the setting of the probability variation flag for transitioning to a state advantageous to the player and the resetting of the probability variation flag for returning to the normal state are performed in a predetermined special symbol. Set when a combination (losing) is displayed, and reset when a predetermined combination of special symbols (big hit and loss) is displayed. For example, a combination where the special symbol becomes a big hit is displayed. When the big hit has ended, when the number of times the combination of special symbols has become a big hit or the number of times the big hit has ended has reached a predetermined number, or when the number of times the special symbol display has been activated has reached a predetermined number, When the symbol displays a predetermined combination, when the number of times of operation of the ordinary electric accessory has reached the predetermined number, the number of times of operation of the ordinary symbol display device has reached the predetermined number of times. Can, or migrate to an advantageous state to the player and the like, may be set to return to the normal state. In addition, the above-mentioned various conditions can be combined in various ways, and thereby, it is possible to provide a further various games.

As described above, by controlling the ordinary electric accessory 27, a pachinko machine capable of not only providing a profit to a player but also balancing a profit with a game store and performing a sound pachinko game is provided. provide. Further, the symbol displayed by the special symbol display device 3 has a meaning other than the big hit, and the interest of the pachinko game can be remarkably improved.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments in the drawings. However, the present invention can be appropriately implemented unless the configuration described in the claims is changed. For example, as the variable winning device, the ordinary electric accessory 27 arranged in parallel with the central accessory 5 has been described, but a so-called electric tulip or the like which is arranged independently may be applied. Also, the symbol display device 4 is usually shown as the operating means, and the probability of the symbol display device being hit is changed. However, the winning rate of the operating gate 7 may be changed.
