Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ball game machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in ball game machines such as pachinko machines and arrange ball pachinko machines (arepachi machines), when the operating conditions are met by the behavior of the game ball, a pattern arrangement that indicates hit or miss is displayed after multiple types of symbols are variably displayed. In some cases, the operation condition is established, for example, winning a game ball to a specific winning opening (start winning opening) or passing a specific gate (starting gate). When the symbol arrangement indicating the winning is displayed on the symbol display device, a special game that is extremely advantageous to the player, such as opening the big prize opening, is executed.
[0003]
Also, if there is a prize at the start winning opening or the passage of the start gate during the operation of the symbol display device, these times are stored as the scheduled operation number of the symbol display device, for example, provided in a part of the symbol display device. The number of scheduled operations is displayed according to the number of lighting of the lamps etc., and the symbol display device is operated one after another. This number of scheduled operations is commonly called the number of holdings or holding balls.
[0004]
This number of reserves is a measure for making use of a game ball that has won a winning prize opening or passed through a starting gate during the operation of the symbol display device, and the upper limit is currently defined as 4 by the game rules. Therefore, when the number of holdings has already reached the upper limit, even if the game ball wins the start winning opening or passes the start gate, it will be useless in terms of the operation of the symbol display device. Was unhappy.
[0005]
On the other hand, when the display means such as liquid crystal is used, the symbol display device is also enlarged, and a start winning opening and a start gate are installed below the symbol display device, the path to them is blocked by the symbol display device. It was.
As a countermeasure, for example, a warp inlet is provided in the upper part of the symbol display device, a warp outlet is provided in the lower part, and a warp passage for allowing a game ball that has entered the warp inlet to pass therethrough is formed in the symbol display device. The path to the start prize opening and the start gate installed in is being done.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even if the game ball easily advances to the start winning opening and the starting gate installed below the symbol display device due to such warp, the winning winning opening will be won when the upper limit is reached. The player's dissatisfaction with respect to the fact that the symbol display device does not operate even if there is a game ball that passes through the starting gate has not been resolved.
[0007]
The object of the present invention is to eliminate such dissatisfaction of the player.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the configuration described in claim 1 can be adopted. In the ball game machine according to the first aspect, the symbol display device displays a symbol arrangement indicating winning or losing after variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols when the operation condition is established by the behavior of the game balls. As described above, the establishment of the operation condition includes winning a game ball at a specific winning opening (start winning opening) or passing through a specific gate (starting gate). Further, when a symbol arrangement indicating a win is displayed on the symbol display device, a special game that is extremely advantageous to the player, such as opening a big prize opening, is executed.
[0009]
The symbol display device has a warp entrance for entering a game ball, a warp passage for allowing the game ball entered into the warp entrance to pass, and a warp exit for discharging the game ball that has passed through the warp passage to the game board surface side. Yes. Therefore, the game ball from above the symbol display device can be guided to the start winning opening or the start gate installed below the symbol display device, for example, below the symbol display device.
[0010]
Further, the storage means stores the scheduled number of operations of the symbol display device, and the scheduled number display means displays the scheduled number of operations. Thereby, the player can know how many times the symbol display device operates. Further, the passage opening / closing mechanism prevents the game ball from passing through the warp passage in the closed state, and allows the game ball to pass through the warp passage in the open state. The opening / closing control means for controlling the opening / closing of the passage opening / closing mechanism normally causes the passage opening / closing mechanism to be closed when the scheduled operation count becomes equal to or greater than the set closing number, and when the scheduled operation count becomes equal to or less than the open setting number, Opening / closing control for opening is performed, and for special games, opening / closing control for opening the passage opening / closing mechanism regardless of the scheduled number of operations is performed .
[0011]
Specifically, for example, when the scheduled operation count approaches the upper limit value or the upper limit value (becomes more than the set number of closures), and even more operating conditions are met (winning the start prize opening, passing the moving gate) However, when there is a high possibility that this cannot be utilized, the warp passage is closed, and the game ball that should go downward is temporarily stored in the warp passage. Then, if the number of scheduled operations is far from the upper limit value (below the number of open settings), and if the operating conditions are met (if there is a winning at the start winning opening, passing through a moving gate), there is a possibility of making use of this When becomes higher, the warp passage is opened and the game balls stored in the warp passage are released downward.
[0012]
This makes it possible to effectively use game balls that may have been wasted if not stored. And since the release of this game ball increases the possibility that the operating condition is effectively established (the symbol display device operates), the player feels profitable, and when the number of holds reaches the upper limit. The player's dissatisfaction with respect to the point that the symbol display device does not operate even if there is a game ball which has won the start winning opening or passed through the start gate is eliminated.
[0013]
In the bullet ball gaming machine according to the first aspect, the operation condition can be established when the detection means detects the entry or passage of the game ball to the predetermined starting area . The addition / subtraction means increments the scheduled operation count by 1 each time the detection means detects the entry or passage of the game ball to the starting area, and subtracts the scheduled activation count by 1 each time the symbol display device is activated. Here, examples of the start area include the start prize opening and the start gate described above, and examples of the detecting means include a magnetic sensor, an optical sensor, a micro switch, and the like installed in the start prize opening and the start gate.
[0014]
With this configuration, the player can clearly recognize that the operating condition is established (winning or passing), and can accurately display the scheduled number of times of operation.
Further, the addition / subtraction means is configured not to execute addition when the scheduled operation count exceeds the preset upper limit value when the addition is executed, and if the scheduled operation count reaches the upper limit value , the game rule etc. Suitable when the upper limit is regulated by
[0015]
In the ball game machine according to the second aspect , the passage opening / closing mechanism allows the game ball to pass intermittently when allowing the game ball to pass through the warp passage in the open state. In this way, the game balls stored in the warp passage can be released for a longer time than at once, so that the player expects the game balls to enter the start winning opening and the start gate. The time you spend is longer. Therefore, the interest in the ball game can be enhanced.
The ball game machine according to claim 3 is: 3. The bullet ball game machine according to claim 1, further comprising a ball detection unit that is disposed above the passage opening / closing mechanism and detects a game ball entering the warp inlet, wherein the opening / closing control unit includes the ball opening / closing control unit. When a game ball is detected by the ball detection means, opening / closing control for passing one game ball in the warp passage is performed.
4. The bullet ball game machine according to claim 4, wherein the opening / closing control means is configured such that the opening / closing control means is configured to open the passage opening / closing mechanism when the scheduled operation count becomes 0 or the special game is reached. Opening / closing control is performed to allow the game balls in the warp passage to pass through in the open state.
[0016]
In the ball game machine according to claim 5, the overflow opening established in the warp passage is a succeeding game ball when the passage opening / closing mechanism is closed and a predetermined number of game balls are stored in the warp passage. Overflows the game board side.
Reserving an excessive number of game balls in the warp passage may kill the interest of the ball game and is not preferable, and may be regulated by game rules. However, such a configuration can avoid such a problem.
[0017]
In the bullet ball game machine according to the sixth aspect, since the warp inlet, the warp passage, and the warp outlet are provided in pairs at the left and right target positions, the balance in appearance of the symbol display device is improved. Further, if the warp entrance is provided only on the left or right side of the symbol display device, the player may hate this, but such a problem can be avoided.
[0018]

On the left and right sides of the special winning opening 21, starting winning openings 14b and 14c (hereinafter referred to as starting openings) are provided. The start ports 14a, 14b, and 14c have sensors or switches built therein, and a start winning signal is output when a ball enters the start ports 14a, 14b, and 14c. In addition, an out hole 25 is provided below the special winning opening 21, and game balls that have not won a prize flow out as out balls.
[0021]
A game control board 29 (not shown in FIG. 1, hereinafter referred to as a control board) is attached to the back surface of the game board 12.
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a holding display unit 15 including four holding displays 15 a, 15 b, 15 c, and 15 d is provided above the symbol display unit 24 of the symbol display device 13. Each time 14a-14c is won, the hold display 15a is lit in turn until the hold display 15d, and when the start-up openings 14a-14c continue to enter, the number of balls received can be displayed up to four. Further, each time the symbol variation is started, the display is turned off in the order of the hold display 15d to the hold display 15a.
[0022]
A pair of warp inlets 16a, 16b are provided on the upper left and right of the symbol display device 13, and a pair of warp outlets 18a, 18b are provided on the lower left and right. Between the warp inlet 16a and the warp outlet 18a and between the warp inlet 16b and the warp outlet 18b. Are the warp passages 20 and 20, respectively. Further, overflow outlets 17a and 17b are opened in the middle of the warp passage 20, and at the warp inlets 16a and 16b of the warp passage 20, entrance detection sensors 23a and 23b (hereinafter referred to as sensors) for detecting entrance. Is attached.
[0023]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is provided inside the warp passage 20.
The passage opening / closing mechanism 22 includes a discharge piece 26 that rotates around a pin 33, a linkage 30 connected to the discharge piece 26, and a solenoid 32 having a plunger 34 connected to the other end of the linkage 30. ing. The solenoid 32 is fixed to a solenoid rib 36 that stands on the right side surface 37 and the left side surface 38 of the symbol display device 13.
[0024]
In the passage opening / closing mechanism 22, when the solenoid 32 is demagnetized, the plunger 34 is brought into the protruding position by the spring 27, so that the discharge piece 26 closes the warp passage 20 (see FIG. 4B). When the magnet is de-energized once the ejecting piece 26 is excited and demagnetized, only one gaming ball is passed. If the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is closed, it is possible to store four game balls in each warp passage 20 (a total of eight in the left and right warp passages 20), and the fifth game ball is an overflow port 17a. , 17b. The left and right solenoids 32 can be excited and demagnetized independently, and the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 can operate independently on the left and right sides.
[0025]
Next, the electrical configuration related to the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 11 other than that shown in FIG. 5 is in accordance with the prior art, the description thereof is omitted.
The above-described control board 29 is configured by a well-known CPU 41, RAM 42, ROM 43, input interface 44, output interface 45, and the like.
[0026]
The input side 44 of the input interface 44 is connected to the start ports 14a, 14b, 14c, the sensors 23a, 23b and V winning detection and 10 count detection not described in detail. The displays 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, the solenoid 32, the special winning opening 21, and the decorative lamps that are not described in detail, audio outputs, and the like are connected.
[0027]
With such a configuration, the CPU 41 acquires various signals via the input interface 44, operates in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 43, and sends various command signals via the output interface 45, whereby the pachinko machine 11. The operation of each part can be controlled. When the CPU 41 executes these processes, the RAM 42 is set as a work area.
[0028]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 11 will be described according to a computer program (FIGS. 6 to 8) executed by the CPU 41. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the power is turned on, the CPU 41 first executes an initial setting (step 51; hereinafter, steps are simply referred to as S). In this initial setting, the discharge piece 26 of the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is set to the open position, the initial screen display setting of the symbol display device 13, the input direction setting of the input interface 44 is set internally, and the output interface 45 is the output direction. Set gender.
[0029]
Subsequently, the M1 process (S52), the M2 process (S52), the M3 process (S54), the M4 process (S55), and the symbol variation process (S56) are executed in order, and if a big hit occurs (S57: YES) After S58), if a big hit has not occurred (S57: NO), the process immediately returns to S52 and the above-described processing is repeated.
[0030]
Hereinafter, the M1 process to M4 process will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the M1 subroutine, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a ball has entered the starting ports 14a, 14b, and 14c based on whether or not a starting signal is input from the starting ports 14a, 14b, and 14c. S10) If there is no entry from the determination, the subroutine returns to the main routine, and if there is an entry, the process proceeds to the next step S11.
[0031]
In S11, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the number of reservations has reached four. If the number of reservations is four, the CPU 41 jumps to S14, and if it has not reached four, proceeds to the next step S12.
In S12, the CPU 41 adds 1 to the number of holdings, and in the subsequent S13, the holding displays 15a to 15d (display lamps) are turned on and displayed for the added number, and then this subroutine is exited to exit the main routine. Return to.
[0032]
The M2 subroutine is related to the subtraction of the hold number. In this subroutine, the CPU 41 first determines whether or not the number of holds is 0 (S15). If it is 0, the CPU 41 exits this subroutine and returns to the main routine, and if not 0, proceeds to the next S16. In step S16, the CPU 41 checks whether the symbol is changing. If the symbol is changing, the CPU 41 exits this subroutine and returns to the main routine. If the symbol has not changed, the process proceeds to the next S17.
[0033]
In S17, the CPU 41 checks whether or not the jackpot is being hit, and returns to the main routine if the jackpot is being hit. If it is not a big hit, the process proceeds to the next S18, the symbol display device 13 is instructed to start symbol variation, and the process proceeds to S19.
In S19, the CPU 41 waits for the start of symbol variation and subtracts the number of holds, and in S20, turns off one of the hold displays 15a to 15d to display the subtraction result.
Thereafter, the CPU 41 exits from this subroutine and returns to the main routine.
[0034]
The processes of the M1 subroutine and the M2 subroutine are known as processes related to the holding of the first-type electric accessory-equipped gaming machine.
Next, subroutines M3 and M4 will be described. First, an outline will be described. In these processes, the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 of the warp passage 20 is operated depending on whether the number of reservations for changing the symbol is four or zero. When the pachinko machine 11 is activated, the number of holdings starts with 0, and the game balls that have entered the warp passage 20 are released as they are, and when the number of holdings reaches four, the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is closed and up to four game balls. When the number of reserves becomes zero, the stored game balls are released toward the start port 14a. In addition, if a big hit occurs while storing game balls, the stored game balls are also discharged. In this case, even if it is stored during the big hit, it does not change the design, so the original effect is not required. Therefore, the game ball that has entered the warp passage 20 is immediately discharged.
[0035]
As shown in FIG. 8, in the M3 subroutine, the CPU 41 checks whether or not the sensors 23a and 23b inside the warp passage 20 detect the entry of a game ball (S22). If no entry is detected, the process returns to the main routine, and if entry is detected, the process proceeds to the next S24. In S24, the CPU 41 checks whether the game opening / closing mechanism 22 is closed (that is, the solenoid 32 is off) and the game ball is being stored. If it is closed, the CPU 41 returns to the main routine. The passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is closed in the initial setting, and thereafter the processing is performed in the M4 subroutine.
[0036]
Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not it is a big hit (S23). If it is a big hit, it returns to the main routine, and if it is not a big hit, it proceeds to S24.
In S24, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is closed. If it is closed, the CPU 41 returns to the main routine. If not closed, the discharge piece 26 of the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is actuated once to discharge only one game ball in the warp passage 20, and then the process returns to the main routine.
[0037]
The M4 subroutine relates to storage of game balls. When the M4 subroutine is started, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is closed. If the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is not closed, the CPU 41 jumps to S31.
In S31, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the number of holds has reached four. If the number has not reached four, the CPU 41 returns to the main routine. If the number has reached four, the warp passage 20 is closed by the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 (S32).
[0038]
This is because if the number of holdings reaches four, even if the game ball that has passed through the warp passage 20 wins the start opening 14a to 14c, it is only a normal win, and the symbol display device 13 is operated. This is because it is useless in the sense that the game ball is temporarily stored by closing the warp passage 20 to prevent this kind of waste.
[0039]
On the other hand, if the passage opening / closing mechanism 22 is closed in S27, the CPU 41 checks whether it is a big hit in the next S28, jumps to S30 if it is a big hit, otherwise proceeds to S29.
In S29, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the number of holdings is 0. If the number of holdings is 0, the CPU 41 proceeds to the next S30 and operates the discharge top 26 five times. This is because the game ball stored in the warp passage 20 when the symbol display device 13 is activated and the number of holdings is reduced to 0 while the warp passage 20 is closed by the process of S32 described above. This is to increase the chances of a start winning by dropping the symbol to the lower side of the symbol display device 13, that is, the start ports 14a to 14c. Thereby, since there is a possibility that it is not useful for the start winning, the game ball stored in the warp passage 20 can be utilized. Although only 4 balls are stored in the warp passage 20, the discharge piece 26 is operated five times in order to reliably discharge the four game balls and during the operation of the discharge piece 26. It also has a meaning to cope with a case where a game ball enters the warp passage 20.
[0040]
Also, when it is determined that the jackpot is in S28, the process of S30 is executed. This eliminates the need for storage at the time of a big hit, so that the game ball entering the warp passage 20 is immediately discharged, and for example, the winning at the big winning opening 21 can be made quick.
[0041]
As described above, when it is not a big hit, the game balls that have flowed into the warp passage 20 are discharged as they are until the number of holds increases from 0 to reach 4 (see subroutine M3).
On the other hand, when the number of reserves reaches 4, the warp passage 20 is closed (see the subroutines M4, S31 and S32), and the game balls are stored in the warp passage 20. Then, when the operation of the symbol display device 13 is repeated while the warp passage 20 is closed and the number of holdings returns to 0, the game balls are discharged from the warp passage 20 (see subroutines M4, S29 and S30). As a result, the possibility that the start openings 14a to 14c are won (wasteful) despite a large number of holdings is reduced, and the game ball is discharged after the possibility of operating the symbol display device 13 is increased. be able to.
[0042]
Therefore, it is possible to effectively use game balls that may have been wasted if not stored. And, since the release of this game ball increases the possibility that the symbol display device 13 operates, the player feels profitable and wins the start openings 14a to 14c when the number of holdings reaches the upper limit. The player's dissatisfaction with respect to the point that the operation of the symbol display device 13 does not occur even if there is a game ball is eliminated.
[0043]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described according to the specific example, this invention is not limited to such a specific example, and it cannot be overemphasized that it can implement variously in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
[0044]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the bullet ball game machine of the first aspect, it is possible to effectively use the game ball that may have been wasted if it was not stored in the warp passage. And since the release of this game ball increases the possibility that the operating condition is effectively established (the symbol display device operates), the player feels profitable, and when the number of holds reaches the upper limit. The player's dissatisfaction with respect to the point that the symbol display device does not operate even if there is a game ball which has won the start winning opening or passed through the start gate is eliminated.
[0045]
The ball game machine according to claim 2 , since the game ball is intermittently passed when allowing the game ball to pass through the warp passage in the open state, the game ball stored in the warp passage is released at once. Since it can be released for a longer time than the player does, the time that the player expects the game ball to enter the start winning opening and the start gate becomes longer. Therefore, the interest in the ball game can be enhanced.
[0046]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a ball game machine comprising detection means disposed above the passage opening / closing mechanism and detecting the entry of the game ball into the warp inlet, and the opening / closing control means detects the game ball by the detection means. Because the opening / closing control for passing one game ball in the warp passage is performed, when one game ball enters the warp entrance, one game ball in the warp passage is passed.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the opening / closing control means performs opening / closing control for allowing all the game balls in the warp passage to pass through by opening the passage opening / closing mechanism when the scheduled number of times of operation becomes 0 or when a special game is reached. Since this is done, all the game balls in the warp passage can be passed.
[0047]
In the ball game machine according to claim 5, the overflow opening established in the warp passage is a succeeding game ball when the passage opening / closing mechanism is closed and a predetermined number of game balls are stored in the warp passage. Is overflowed to the game board surface side, so there is no possibility that excessive game balls are stored in the warp passage and kill the interest of the ball game.
[0048]
In the bullet ball game machine according to the sixth aspect, since the warp inlet, the warp passage, and the warp outlet are provided in pairs at the left and right target positions, the balance in appearance of the symbol display device is improved. Further, if the warp entrance is provided only on the left or right side of the symbol display device, the player may hate this, but such a problem can be avoided.
