BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, after a plurality of symbols such as numbers and symbols are variably displayed on the symbol variation display so as to flow in a plurality of columns, the variation of the symbols in the respective display columns is stopped, and the same stopped symbol is displayed for each display column. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine configured so that a big hit is generated, a special gaming state is entered, and a big winning opening is continuously opened to make it easy to win a hit ball.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As is well known, the first type pachinko gaming machine called “fever machine” is provided with a pattern variation display device such as a color liquid crystal display, CRT, etc. on the game board. The symbols and characters such as ◯, △, □, ☆, etc. (hereinafter referred to as symbols) are variably displayed in three rows so that they flow from the top to the bottom on the symbol variation display, and the variation of the display is several seconds. If you stop later in the order of the left column, right column, and middle column, and the stop symbol has the same probability in all three columns such as “777” and “☆☆☆” In the gaming state, the open / close door of the variable winning device (large winning opening) is opened by the operation of the electric opening / closing device, and a predetermined number (usually 10) of hit balls are placed in the opened variable winning device. ) Enter or open state When a predetermined time limit (usually 30 seconds) elapses, the so-called first round is over and the variable winning device is temporarily closed, but the continuous winning port (V) provided in the variable winning device during the first round. When a hit ball enters the zone), the second round starts and the variable winning device is opened again, and a predetermined number (usually 10) of hit balls are set in the variable winning device that has been opened. ) When a predetermined time limit (usually 30 seconds) elapses after entering a ball or in the open state, the second round is over and the variable winning device is closed again, but it is provided in the variable winning device during the second round. When a hit ball enters the continuous winning slot (referred to as V zone), the third round starts and the variable winning device is opened again, so that a hit ball is inserted into the continuous winning slot during each round. That you won As matter to a final round (e.g. 16th round) so that the variable winning device is continuously opened. In this way, the open / close door of the variable prize-winning device is continuously opened up to a predetermined number of rounds during the special game state, and the situation where it is very easy to hit the ball continues, so it is possible to acquire a large number of prize balls and Benefits are brought.
[0003]
The above variable display usually stops in the order of the left column, right column, and middle column, but if the left column and right column stop at the same symbol, the middle column will stop again even if it stops at a different symbol once. The display flows in the reverse direction, etc., and after all, it is displayed that it stops at the same symbol and becomes a big hit, or stops only at a different symbol (generally called “reach state”).
[0004]
However, this kind of pachinko machine is only a player's concern whether or not all three rows are aligned in the same pattern, such as “777” and “☆☆☆”. The gaming machines are not much different in this respect, so they are gradually getting bored and the situation is that the games become rutted.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention is intended to prevent such a pachinko game from becoming rutted and maintain and increase the entertainment of the pachinko game.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For this reason, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, when the start condition is satisfied, when each row stops at a specific symbol after the symbols are displayed on the symbol variation display so that a plurality of symbols flow like a video in multiple columns. In a pachinko gaming machine in which the variable winning device is continuously opened, the symbol variation display unit displays a plurality of rows of symbols in each row, and the symbols vary separately from each other. A change mark indicating one of the symbols in the row is displayed, and the stop time of the change mark is set to stop almost at the same time as the symbol stops and slightly later than the symbol stops. , A privilege is given when the symbol of each column pointed to by the change mark is a specific symbol.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine described above, when the symbol of each column indicated by the variation mark is a specific symbol, the privilege given is a jackpot that continuously opens the variable winning device. And
Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the pachinko gaming machine, the specific symbols are the same in each row.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a front view of a game board 1 in this pachinko machine. In the figure, 2 is a symbol variation display composed of a color liquid crystal display provided on the game board 1, 3 is a normal winning opening, and 4 is a pass gate. 5 is a start opening, 6 is a variable winning device comprising a large rectangular large winning opening provided below the starting opening 5, and 7 is an opening / closing provided to the variable winning device so as to be opened and closed by the operation of a solenoid. A door 8 is a continuous winning opening formed at the center of the variable winning device.
[0008]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the main parts of the game control circuit board 9 and the symbol control circuit board 10 relating to the present invention of this pachinko gaming machine. The game control circuit board 9 includes a CPU, a RAM, a game control ROM and an input. The output circuit unit includes a start switch 11 that detects a hit ball that has won a prize at the start port 5 in the input / output circuit unit, a switch 12 that counts a winning ball to the variable winning device 6, and the continuous winning port 8. A switch 13 for detecting the winning ball and a solenoid 14 for opening and closing the opening / closing door of the variable winning device 6 are connected. The symbol control circuit board 10 includes a CPU, a RAM, a symbol control ROM, a symbol information ROM, and an input / output circuit unit, and the symbol variation indicator 2 is connected to the input / output circuit unit. Numbers 1 to 8, symbols such as ◯, Δ, □, ☆, characters, and the like (hereinafter referred to as symbols) are stored.
[0009]
Next, the operation of this pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The starting condition is established when a hit ball is won at the start opening 5 and detected by the start switch 11 during the game. (Step a). In step b, a random number that determines the success or failure of the jackpot and a random number that determines the form are acquired.
[0010]
Then, when proceeding to step c, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the symbols 1 to 8 and symbols z such as ○, Δ, □, ☆, etc. are displayed on the left column, the middle column, and the right column. The three columns are displayed in a variable manner so as to flow from top to bottom. In addition, as shown in the figure, the symbol variation indicator 2 has a height width in which symbols z in each column can be displayed simultaneously for three rows. Further, m is a change mark displayed so that it can be indicated by enclosing one of the symbols in each column with a square frame, and the change mark is changed in the column direction separately from the symbol. (Step d). The variation mark m can vary randomly in the column direction (up and down) within the height width of the symbol variation indicator as shown in FIG.
[0011]
Then, after a few seconds, the variation of the symbol z in each column stops (step e), and the variation of the variation mark m also stops. (Step f). Then, in step g, it is determined whether each column has stopped with a specific symbol (in this case, all the same symbols) with chance according to the acquired random number. In step h, it is determined whether or not the symbol indicated by the variation mark m is a specific symbol (in this case, all symbols are the same symbol). If none of the symbols is a specific symbol as shown in FIG. Also, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), when all the columns stop at the same symbol, or as shown in FIG. 4 (e), all the symbols pointed to by the variation mark m are the same symbol. In this case, the process proceeds to step i, and a jackpot operation is instructed, and the variable winning device 6 is repeatedly opened, so that it is easy to win a hit to the variable winning device and a large number of prize balls are paid out at a time.
[0012]
Note that the symbol stop time and the change mark stop time do not necessarily have to be the same. For example, by slightly delaying the change mark stop time, each column is once the same as shown in FIG. Even if it does not stop at the symbol, the symbol indicated as shown in FIG. 5 (b) is the same due to the subsequent variation of the variation mark m, so that it can be a big hit.
[0013]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the left column and the right column stop at the same symbol, and “7” of both symbols is indicated by the variation mark m, and the middle column is still varying. In some cases, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), not only is it a big hit if the middle row stops at the same symbol, but even if it does not stop at the same symbol, it is shown in FIG. 6 (c). In this way, if the change mark m indicates “7”, it becomes a big hit, so the probability of making a big win is greatly increased, and the expectation for the big win is greatly increased.
[0014]
In addition, when the design pointed out by the change mark m is the same, it is not limited to granting a bonus to the jackpot as described above, but the probability of jackpot is increased, the opening time of the variable winning device is extended, etc. Other various benefits may be given. In addition, it is possible to determine whether the privilege is given or not depending on the type of design.
[0015]
In addition, the specific symbol that is a condition for granting a privilege is not limited to the same symbol as in the above embodiment, but may be a combination of specific symbols that are determined in advance.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention displays a plurality of lines of symbols in each column on the symbol variation display, and varies separately from the symbol to display one symbol in each column. The change mark to be displayed is displayed, and the stop time of the change mark is set to be almost the same time as the stop of the symbol and to be stopped a little later than the stop of the symbol, and each change point indicated by the change mark Since the privilege is given when the symbol of the column is a specific symbol, the manner in which the privilege such as jackpot is given is diversified, and there is an effect of increasing the interest and entertainment of the pachinko game.
