[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, the game board is provided with variable symbol display means having a plurality of symbol display parts, and start means for detecting entry or passage of the game ball, and the start means receives the game ball. When detected, the symbols on each symbol display section of the variable symbol display means are changed for a predetermined time, and when the stop symbol after the change becomes a specific jackpot symbol, the special winning means is opened / closed a predetermined number of times, or other After the game ball that won the winning means passes through the special operation area inside it, each time the game ball wins a specific starting means, the other big winning means is opened and closed a predetermined number of times, etc. There is one that generates rights and returns profits to the player.
[0003]
Further, in the CR machine, there is a probability variation type that switches the occurrence probability of the jackpot from the next time to a high probability of about 10 times when the stop symbol of the fluctuation symbol display means stops at the jackpot symbol and the jackpot is generated. .
[0004]
In this type of ball game machine, once a big win is generated on the variable symbol display means side, a large number of game balls win the prize winning means while the big winning means repeats opening and closing operations thereafter. A great deal of profits are returned to the player, and in the probability-variable bullet ball game machine, once a big hit is generated, a high probability state is entered, so that the big hit is likely to continue. For this reason, the player has the advantage of being able to play a game while expecting a lot of return profits, the player is highly popular, and is now widely used in many game stores.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional ball game machine, the jackpot random number, the reach random number, and other outlier random numbers are sequentially generated with a predetermined probability by the random number generating means, and when the starting means detects the game ball, the random number generated by the random number generating means is generated. A random number control method is employed in which the random number lottery means draws and the fluctuation processing means changes the symbol of the fluctuation symbol display means for a predetermined time according to the random number.
[0006]
Therefore, apart from whether or not a big hit actually occurs during the game, probabilistically, if the starting means detects the game ball for the set number of times and the variable symbol display means repeats the changing operation for the set number of times. The jackpot is generated with a predetermined set probability.
However, regardless of whether the machine is a normal machine or a CR machine, there are few conventional ball game machines that incorporate thought expressions in the display form of the variable symbol display means, and the player sees changes in the display on the ball game machine side. It is not in the form of playing games interactively while thinking. Therefore, the player only keeps firing the game ball until the jackpot occurs,
[0007]
It may be monotonous and very time consuming to win, and the game may be interrupted or abandoned during that time.
In particular, some ball game machines, such as CR machines, have a higher success rate of jackpots compared to normal machines. On the other hand, the probability of occurrence of first jackpots is set to about half. It has become increasingly difficult to generate no first jackpot.
In view of such a conventional problem, the present invention can implement a thinking expression before the occurrence of a jackpot by incorporating the effects as much as possible, and allows a player to play an interesting game while using his thinking power The purpose is to provide a machine.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The present invention provides the game board 5 with a starting means 29 for detecting a game ball launched on the game board 5 and a variable symbol display means 36 for variably displaying a plurality of symbols. Random number generating means 49 that repeatedly generates random numbers including the reach random number in a predetermined order, and the variation symbol display means 36 according to the lottery random number of the random number generating means 49 selected by the detection of the game ball of the starting means 29 The display control means 51 for causing each symbol of the symbol to fluctuate for a predetermined time, and when the symbol after the fluctuation of the fluctuation symbol display means 36 becomes a predetermined jackpot symbol, a jackpot right advantageous to the player is generated. In a ball game machine comprising a right generation means 52, all random numbers generated by the random number generation means 49Other than the jackpot random number inIs a specific random number,Random number generating means 49 The jackpot random number and the specific random number are uniformly distributed among all generated random numbers ofOn the upper side of the starting means 29 of the game board 5, a game ball is received from above.That game ballDrop into the starting means 29The random number generating means 49 Periodically with an interval that is an integer multiple of the interval time between the jackpot random number and the specific random numberA drop guide means 25 is provided, and when the specific random number is drawn by lottery detection by the starting means 29, the variable symbol display means 36 is displayed that can be distinguished from the lottery other than the specific random number. It is a thing.

The upper winning opening 23 is provided on the upper side of the flange 33, and four storage display lamps 34 for displaying the stored number are provided on the front side.
[0018]
The liquid crystal display unit 32 constitutes a first variation symbol display means 35 and a second variation symbol display means 36, and the first variation symbol display means 35 is a second variation symbol display means at the lower left and right center. 36 are respectively arranged on the upper side. The first variation symbol display means 35 is configured so that when the first start means 28 detects a game ball, the first symbol is variably displayed in the order of 0 to 9 by random number processing.
[0019]
The second variation symbol display means 36 includes three symbol display portions 37 in the left-right direction, and when the second starting means 29 detects a game ball, the second symbol of each symbol display portion 37 is set for a predetermined time by random number processing. It is configured to fluctuate. In addition, each symbol display part 37 is variably displayed, for example in the order of each symbol of 0-9 and AF.
[0020]
The second starting means 29 and the big winning means 27 are arranged vertically on the left and right center side of the mounting base 38 attached to the game board 5 below the liquid crystal display 24, and on the left and right sides of the big winning means 27. A lower prize opening 30 is provided in the mounting base 38. The second starting means 29 is an open / close type having a pair of open / close claws 39, and when the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the first fluctuation symbol display means 35 becomes a winning symbol, it is opened for 0.6 sec, for example. ing.
[0021]
The drop guide means 25 is for periodically dropping the game ball on the second starting means 29 in accordance with the operating cycle of the operating member 40, and corresponds to the upper side of the second starting means 29 on the lower side of the display case 31. Is provided. The drop guide means 25 includes a pair of left and right guide stages 41 fixed to the lower side of the display case 31, and is operated between the pair of left and right guide stages 41 so as to be swingable up and down around a support shaft 42. A pair of left and right members 40 are provided, and a mascot portion 43 is pivotally attached to the distal ends of the pair of operating members 40. Each operation member 40 is driven around the support shaft 42 at a predetermined operation cycle by a drive motor 44 fixed to the back side of the display case 31.
[0022]
Each guide stage 41 guides the game ball falling on the front side of the game board 5 to the center side, and wins the first starting means 28 and guides the game ball sent through the back side of the game board 5 to the center side. It is supposed to be. Each actuating member 40 is pivotally supported by a support shaft 42 in the vicinity of the guide stage 41 so that the actuating member 40 can swing up and down. Then, the game ball is dropped onto the second starting means 29.
[0023]
FIG. 5 shows a control system, and 45 is a first random number generating means. For example, when the probability of occurrence of the first fluctuation symbol display means 35 is 1/10, random numbers from 0 to 9 are generated. Yes. 46 is a first random number judging means for drawing a random number generated by the first random number generating means 45 when a game ball enters the first starting means 28 and judging whether or not the lottery random number is a winning random number. belongs to.
[0024]
Reference numeral 47 denotes first display control means, which is configured to change the first symbol of the first fluctuation symbol display means 35 for a certain period of time so as to stop at the symbol designated according to the determination result of the first random number determination means 46. . 48 is an opening / closing control means which opens the opening / closing claw 39 of the second starting means 29 for 0.6 sec when a hit occurs in the first fluctuation symbol display means 35, and after the big hit in the second fluctuation symbol display means 36 occurs. When the occurrence probability fluctuates greatly, the opening / closing claw 39 is opened for 5 seconds from the next time.
[0025]
Reference numeral 49 denotes second random number generation means, which is configured to repeatedly generate random numbers from 0 to 249, for example, when the probability of jackpot of the second fluctuation symbol display means 36 is 1/250. Among all generated random numbers generated by the second random number generating means 49, there are jackpot random numbers, reach random numbers, and other outlier random numbers, and specific random numbers are set by the reach random numbers and outnumber random numbers.
[0026]
That is, for the specific random number, a specific reach random number among a plurality of reach random numbers and a specific outnumber random number other than the reach random number are used. For example, two specific reach random numbers and two specific outnumber random numbers are used. There are two, and a total of four random numbers are used as specific random numbers. The big hit random numbers and the four specific random numbers are set so as to be distributed substantially evenly among all the generated random numbers so that the total generated random numbers in the second random number generating means 49 are equally divided into five. A time obtained by multiplying the interval time between adjacent random numbers of the jackpot random number and the four specific random numbers by an integer is set to coincide with the drop timing of the drop guide means 25.
[0027]
For example, if the random number generation means generates 250 random numbers every 0.2 msec, the period of all generated random numbers is 0.5 sec. For this reason, the interval time between the random numbers is 10 msec, and the time 10 Nmsec, which is an integer N times 10 msec, is set to coincide with the drop timing for every 1 sec of the drop guide means 25. Accordingly, when the fall timing at which the game ball has dropped onto the second starting means 29 via the drop guide means 25 coincides with the specific random number generated by the second random number generating means 49, the specific random number and jackpot are also timed thereafter. It tends to coincide with random numbers and tends to lead to generation of big hit random numbers.
[0028]
  50 is a second random number judging means, and when the second starting means 29 detects a game ball, a random number generated by the second random number generating means 49 is drawn, and the lottery random number isBigThis is for determining whether or not the winning random number. 51 is a second display control means, and when the second starting means 29 detects a game ball, the second symbol of each symbol display part 37 of the second variable symbol display means 36 is changed for a predetermined time and, for example, a second random number Depending on the jackpot random number, the reach random number, the off-random number, etc., so that the second symbol of each symbol display part 37 becomes a jackpot symbol of “7/7/7” when the determination result in the generating means 49 is a jackpot random number The second symbol of each symbol display unit 37 is controlled.
[0029]
In the case of reach random numbers, among the three symbols displayed on the symbol display unit 37, only the symbols on the right side of the symbol display unit 37 are displayed, and in the case of other outliers, three symbols are displayed. The display symbols on the display unit 37 are all different from each other. For a specific reach random number, a reach symbol of “3, 3, 2” when the jackpot symbol is “3, 3, 3”, and “7,7” when the jackpot symbol is “7, 7, 7”・ Leach symbols that remain strong in the player's impression, such as 6 ”reach symbols, etc., and when a specific out-of-random number is displayed, change the color of the symbol or background to other out-of-range symbols, etc. It can be distinguished from the out-of-line design.
[0030]
Reference numeral 52 denotes right generation means. When the second random number determination means 50 determines that the jackpot random number, that is, for example, “7, 7, 7”, three symbol display portions 37 of the second variable symbol display means 36 are displayed. When a jackpot random number that becomes a jackpot symbol in which all the second symbols are matched is drawn, the big winning means 27 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times in order to generate a right advantageous to the player. The right generating means 52 controls the large winning means 27 to repeat the opening and closing operation up to 16 times, and closes the large winning means 27 when ten game balls are won by one opening. ing.
[0031]
53 is a random number suppressing means, and when the second random number determining means 50 determines the lottery random number lottery and the right generating means 52 works, the second random number generating means 49 is temporarily stopped to suppress the generation of random numbers. It is like that. This random number suppression means 53 is for making it difficult to synchronize the drop timing on the drop guide means 25 side with the generation cycle of the specific random number in the second random number generation means 49 after the occurrence of the jackpot.
[0032]
Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
If the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, each random number generating means 45, 49 always generates a predetermined random number.
In the game, the operation handle 11 of the launching means 10 is operated with the game ball in the upper plate 7. Then, the game balls on the upper plate 7 are supplied one by one to the launch position of the launch rail in conjunction with the launch operation of the launch means 10, and the game balls 5 are sequentially hit along the guide rail 22 by hitting the game balls with the striker. Fire at the top of the.
[0033]
The game ball launched to the upper side of the game board 5 wins the top prize opening 23 while falling along the board surface of the game board 5, or falls to the lower part of the game board 5 and enters the out mouth. Go past the game board 5 to the back.
At this time, when the game ball enters the first starting means 28 (step S1), as shown in FIG. 6, the first random number generated from the first random number generating means 45 is drawn at that time, and the lottery random number is obtained. The first random number determination means 46 performs a process of determining whether or not it is a winning random number (step S2). And the 1st display control means 47 fluctuates the 1st design of the 1st fluctuation design display means 35 so that it may stop at the stop design according to the lottery random number (Step S3).
[0034]
After performing a variation process for varying the first symbol of the first variation symbol display means 35, it is determined whether or not the first symbol is a winning symbol (step S4). At this time, if the first symbol is a winning symbol “7”, the opening / closing control means 48 determines that the winning symbol is hit, and after the first variable symbol display means 35 stops, the second starting means 29 is opened for a short time. 2. A game ball is made easier to enter the starting means 29 (step S5).
[0035]
On the other hand, the game ball that has entered the first starting means 28 passes through the back side of the game board 5 and is guided to the drop guide means 25 side, and the guide stage of the drop guide means 25 along the front side of the game board 5. A game ball falls on 41. Then, all the game balls on the guide stage 41 of the drop guide means 25 are guided to the central actuating member 40 side, and the actuating member 40 that periodically swings up and down around the support shaft 42 is lowered downward. Sometimes, it drops onto the second starting means 29 side through the operating member 40.
[0036]
  For this reason, the second starting means 29 has a game ballIs in the ballThe timing at which the second starting means 29 detects the game ball is the operation period of the drop guide means 25, except when the game ball enters the second start means 29 without going through the drop guide means 25. In particular, it is substantially synchronized with the operation timing when the operating member 40 is lowered.
[0037]
When a game ball falling from the upper side of the second starting means 29 passes between the opening and closing claws 39 and enters the second starting means 29 (step S6), as shown in FIG. When the game ball is detected, the second random number determination means 50 draws a random number generated by the second random number generation means 49, and determines whether or not the lottery random number is a big hit random number (step S7). Then, according to the determination result, the second display control means 51 operates to perform a variation process so as to vary the second symbol of each symbol display unit 37 of the second variation symbol display means 36 for a predetermined time (step S9). .
[0038]
If the determination result of the second random number determination means 50 is a jackpot random number (step S10), the second symbol of each symbol display section 37 of the second variable symbol display means 36 is a jackpot symbol such as “7/7/7”. (Step S11). Then, after the symbol on each symbol display unit 37 stops at the jackpot symbol, the second random number generator 49 is temporarily stopped by the random number suppressor 53 to suppress the generation of random numbers (step S12), and the subsequent drop The synchronization of the fall timing of the guide means 25 and the generated random number of the second random number generation means 49 is prevented, and the continuous generation of jackpots due to the synchronization is prevented.
[0039]
Further, the right generating means 52 is activated, and the open / close plate of the special winning means 27 is intermittently opened and closed 16 times (step S13). When the open / close plate of the big winning means 27 is in the open state, the game balls falling from above are guided to the big winning means 27 by the open / close plates, so that it becomes easier for the game balls to win the big winning means 27 and A great profit can be returned.
[0040]
If the determination result is a reach random number including a specific reach random number (step S14), the second symbol of each symbol display unit 37 is stopped at a reach symbol such as "3.3.2" or "7.7.6". (Step S15) If the specified random number is out of random random numbers including specific specific symbols (Step S16), the second symbol of each symbol display unit 37 is displayed in a specific expression (Step S17). ), If it is other ordinary simple random numbers, after the second symbol is stopped at the normal symbol (step S18), the process returns to step S7.
[0041]
If the number of S is six during the game, six game balls enter the second starting means 29 side per minute in synchronism with the lowering action of the actuating member 40 of the drop guide means 25. Each time the second starting means 29 detects a game ball, the random number generated by the second random number generating means 49 is drawn and the second variation symbol display means 36 repeats the variation operation six times.
[0042]
When the probability of jackpot on the second variation symbol display means 36 is 1/250, whether or not the jackpot actually occurs, the second starter 29 is stochastically 250 times. When a game ball is detected and the second variation symbol display means 36 varies 250 times, a big hit is generated at a rate of once.
[0043]
This jackpot may occur suddenly without any sign, and gradually while the second changing symbol display means 36 repeatedly fluctuates many times while repeating the outlier symbol and the reach symbol. In some cases, the jackpot may occur after being synchronized with the generation period of the jackpot random number. The characteristics of the jackpot are also unique to each pachinko machine, and each pachinko machine has a variety of characteristics.
[0044]
However, in this pachinko machine, four specific random numbers are set in addition to the big hit random numbers in the total generated random numbers in the second random number generating means 49, and the total generated random numbers are abbreviated to the big hit random numbers and the four specific random numbers. In addition to being distributed so as to be divided into five equal parts, the time obtained by multiplying the interval time between the random numbers by an integer is set to coincide with the drop timing of one cycle of the drop guide means 25.
[0045]
For this reason, the fall timing of the game ball falling into the second starting means 29 from the operating member 40 of the drop guide means 25 does not always coincide with the generation timing of the specific random number generating means in the second random number generating means 49. Although there are times when the second starting means 29 is entered a number of times, the timing of occurrence of a specific random number may coincide with the timing.
[0046]
In this case, when the second random number determination means 50 draws a specific random number when a game ball enters the second starting means 29, it is determined whether or not the specific random number is a reach random number. It is determined whether it is a specific out-of-range random number. And if it is a specific off-random number, the 2nd display control means 51 will display the 2nd symbol of each symbol display part 37 of the 2nd fluctuation | variation symbol display means 36 by the expression mode different from another outlier symbol. For this reason, the player who is playing a game paying attention to the display of the second variation symbol display means 36 is different from the display state of each symbol display portion 37 of the second variation symbol display means 36 so far. Can be easily recognized.
[0047]
If a specific random number is drawn once, the timing at which the operating member 40 of the drop guide means 25 descends and the random number generation period in the second random number generation means 49 can be easily synchronized. Then, a big hit may occur while the second fluctuation symbol display means 36 repeats the fluctuation action once, several times, or several tens of times, but other specific random numbers having a number larger than the big hit random number. The probability that the symbols will be drawn will be very high, and there is a tendency that each symbol display unit 37 of the second variation symbol display means 36 displays a specific out symbol or a specific reach symbol. And in many cases, a jackpot occurs after that.
[0048]
Therefore, a player who is playing a game while paying attention to the display symbols of each symbol display unit 37 of the second variation symbol display means 36 is actually a big hit due to the change in the expression form of each symbol display unit 37. Regardless of whether or not it occurs, it is possible to produce a process leading to the occurrence of the jackpot in the stage before the jackpot occurrence, and to stimulate the thinking of the player in the game.
[0049]
In particular, the player speculates that some change has occurred in the game state or that a jackpot flag has been raised due to a subtle change in the symbol appearing on each symbol display unit 37 or its expression form. Alternatively, since the game can be performed while predicting, it is possible to avoid the monotony of the game in the stage before the jackpot occurrence, and it is possible to make the game interesting while making use of thought.
[0050]
In fact, in many cases, the jackpots as expected by the player are generated, so that the player can enjoy the game with expectation and satisfaction, and the player's willingness to play is sufficient. Can be aroused.
The drop guide means 25 includes an actuating member 40 for guiding the game ball and a drive motor 44 for driving the actuating member 40 at a predetermined operating cycle, and the game ball is moved to the second starter 29 according to the operating cycle of the actuating member 40. Therefore, the drop guide means 25 can be opened so that the fall period of the game ball guided by the operating member 40 can be easily confirmed.
[0051]
FIG. 8 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention. A rotating body 56 that supports a game ball on the outer periphery and receives the game ball and guides it toward the starter 29 when the ball receiving portion 55 matches the game ball. The drop guide means 25 having a drive motor 57 for driving the rotating body 56 at a predetermined speed is used.
[0052]
That is, the drop guide means 25 includes a guide case 59 attached to the front side of the game board 5, a rotating body 56 rotatably supported by the drive shaft 60 in the front-rear direction in the guide case 59, and a drive shaft 60. And a drive motor 57 for driving the rotating body 56 clockwise. The guide case 59 is provided with a ball inlet 61 and a ball outlet 62 on the upper and lower sides. A game ball enters from the ball inlet 61, and a game ball falls from the ball outlet 62 to the starting means 29 side. The rotating body 56 has a concentric outer peripheral surface so that a game ball that has entered the ball inlet 61 of the guide case 59 is supported from the lower side on the outer peripheral surface. The portion 55 is formed with a notch.
[0053]
The drop guide means 25 supports the game ball that has entered the ball inlet 61 of the guide case 59 on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 56, and when the ball receiving portion 55 corresponds to the ball inlet 61, the game ball is The ball is received by the receiving portion 55 and guided to the ball outlet 62 side, and the game ball is dropped on the starting means 29 according to the rotation cycle of the rotating body 56. For this reason, the period from when a game ball enters the starter 29 until the next game ball enters is determined by the rotation period of the rotator 56.
[0054]
Even when such a drop guide means 25 is used, it can be implemented in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. In particular, since the rotary body 56 and the drive means 57 for driving the rotary body 56 are used, the drop guide means 25 can move smoothly, and the durability of the drop guide means 25 is improved.
[0055]
FIG. 9 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention. The liquid crystal display unit 32 of the liquid crystal display 24 is divided into upper and lower second variation symbol display means 36 and timing display means 63, and the timing display means 63 The drop timing of the drop guide means 25 is displayed. This timing display means 63 is a light emission in which a large number of dot-like light emitting sections 64 are arranged in a horizontal row and the light emitting position of each light emitting section 64 moves to the left and right in synchronization with the vertical movement of the operating member 40 of the drop guide means 25. A row 65 is displayed, and an arrow-like timing display portion 66 that moves to the left and right in synchronization with the vertical movement of the operating member 40 of the drop guide means 25 is displayed below the light emission row 65, and the timing display portion 66 Is positioned directly above the mascot portion 43, the actuating member 40 is lowered to drop the game ball.
[0056]
FIG. 10 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the timing display means 63, a large number of light emitting portions 64 presenting a game ball are arranged in an annular shape and synchronized with the vertical movement of the operating member 40 of the drop guide means 25. Then, a light emitting ring 67 in which the light emitting position of each light emitting part 64 moves to the left and right is provided, and when the light emitting part 64 at the front center of the light emitting ring 67 emits light on the front side of the light emitting ring 67, the game ball is dropped. A timing display unit 66 for displaying is provided, and when the timing display unit 66 emits light, the operating member 40 is lowered to drop the game ball.
[0057]
In the case of the third and fourth embodiments, the light emission position of the light emitting section 64 sequentially moves in synchronization with the vertical movement of the operating member 40 in the light emitting row 65 or the light emitting ring 67, and the timing display section 66 thereof. When the light is emitted, the actuating member 40 is lowered to drop the game ball, so that the player can visually grasp the fall timing of the game ball by the drop guide means 25, and the game ball can be moved according to the fall timing. The player can play the game while devising such as launching.
[0058]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to this embodiment.
For example, in FIG. 3, when a display lamp is provided on the front side of the second starting means 29 and the second random number determining means 50 draws and determines a specific random number, the display on the front side of the second starting means 29 is matched with the timing. The lamp may be configured to emit light.
Further, when the second random number determination means 50 draws and determines a specific random number, the timing display unit 66 of FIG. 9 or FIG. 10 may be made to emit light in accordance with the timing.
[0059]
The specific random number may be a reach random number only. For example, if there are 10 or more reach random numbers, some of the reach random numbers may be used as specific random numbers. In this case, since the stop symbol of the second variation symbol display means 36 displays the reach symbol, there is an effect that the player is expected to generate more jackpots, and the player's willingness to capture the game can be caused. it can.
A drive means other than a motor such as a solenoid may be used.
[0060]
Further, the probability of jackpot occurrence, the number of specific random numbers, the game content at the time of right generation, etc. are merely examples, and may be appropriately selected or determined in the entire game configuration.
The drop guide means 25 is not limited to the two in the embodiment, and may be sufficient as long as it can guide and drop the game ball periodically.
The display means may be other than the changing symbol display means 36.
Further, in addition to pachinko machines, the same can be applied to ball game machines such as arrange ball machines.
