[0020]
If there is a winning at the winning opening, the content of the winning number storage counter is incremented by 1 (step S2), and it is determined whether or not the content of the winning number storage counter is a predetermined value, for example, “8” (step S3). If the content of the winning number storage counter is not “8”, the process proceeds to winning number storage erasure processing B.
[0021]
If the content of the winning number storage counter is “8”, a specific gaming state is generated and the variable winning device is opened for a predetermined period (step S4). Then, the winning number storage counter is cleared (step S5), and the process proceeds to the winning number storage erasing process B.
[0022]
The winning number memory erasing process B is represented by the flowchart of FIG.
[0023]
In the winning number memory erasing process B, it is determined whether or not the display for effect has ended (step S6). Here, the effect display is performed by the display device 3, and the display device performs the effect display by displaying an effect image for effecting the occurrence of the specific gaming state. The display for performance starts, for example, when a game ball is won at the winning opening and ends when there is no new win until the predetermined time elapses, while there is a new win during this period. Controlled to continue in case. Specifically, the display for performance is performed, for example, by displaying an image of an automobile race when a game ball wins a winning opening. In that case, when a predetermined time elapses without a new winning after that, an image in which the automobile crashes is displayed as the end of the display for presentation.
[0024]
If the effect display is not finished, the main routine is finished.
[0025]
If the effect display has ended, the content of the winning number storage counter is decremented by 1 (step S7), and the main routine is ended.
[0026]
Accordingly, the arithmetic processing circuit 2 starts the display for presentation when winning a prize opening and increments the contents of the winning number storage counter by +1, and the number of winnings each time there is a new winning while the display for presentation is being performed. The content of the storage counter is incremented by +1, and when the content of the winning number storage counter reaches “8”, a specific gaming state is generated. Further, when there is no new prize and the effect display is ended while the effect display is being performed, the content of the winning number storage counter is decremented by one.
[0027]
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine including the arithmetic processing circuit 2 that determines the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine according to the winning of the game ball. State generation determination means (specific game state generation determination processing A) and winning number storage erasure means (winning number storage deletion processing B) are provided, and the specific gaming state generation determination means measures and stores the number of winning game balls. As a result, a specific gaming state is generated when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined value, and the winning number storing / erasing means is configured to erase the storing of the winning number under predetermined conditions. Further, the pachinko gaming machine includes a display device 3 that displays an effect image for producing the occurrence of the specific game state according to the winning of the game ball, and the specific game state occurrence determining means The winning number storing / erasing means is configured to erase the storing of the winning number when the display of the effect image is completed.
[0028]
For this reason, unlike the conventional pachinko gaming machine having uniform game characteristics, the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment generates a specific gaming state such as a big hit state due to a completely new occurrence opportunity. Can be expected to give enough satisfaction.
[0029]
The display time of the effect image may be selected at random from a plurality of predetermined different times. By adopting such a configuration, unexpectedness can be further enhanced.
[0030]
The arithmetic processing circuit 2 according to the second embodiment repeatedly executes arithmetic processing as shown in FIG. 5 at a predetermined cycle.
[0031]
The arithmetic processing shown in FIG. 5 includes winning count measurement, specific game state occurrence determination, and timer measurement.
[0032]
In the winning number measurement, it is determined whether or not a winning opening has been won (step S11). If there is a winning at the winning opening, the content of the winning number storage counter is incremented by one (step S12), while the winning opening is reached. If there is no winning, the process proceeds to the specific gaming state occurrence determination.
[0033]
In the specific game state occurrence determination, it is determined whether or not the content of the winning number storage counter is a predetermined value, for example, “8” (step S13). If the winning number storage counter is not “8”, the process proceeds to timer measurement. On the other hand, when the content of the winning number storage counter is “8”, a specific gaming state is generated (step S14).
[0034]
In the timer measurement, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time, for example, 20 seconds has elapsed since the previous winning (step S15). If 20 seconds have not elapsed since the previous winning, the current arithmetic processing is terminated. When 20 seconds have passed since the previous winning, the content of the winning number storage counter is cleared to “0” (step S16), and the current calculation process is terminated.
[0035]
Therefore, the arithmetic processing circuit 2 starts the timer when winning a prize opening and increments the contents of the winning number storage counter by one, and wins every time there is a new winning while the timer measures a predetermined time, for example, 20 seconds. The content of the number storage counter is incremented by +1, and when the content of the winning number storage counter reaches a predetermined value, for example, “8”, a specific gaming state is generated. Further, when there is no new prize and the measurement of the predetermined time is completed while the timer is measuring the predetermined time, the contents of the winning number storage counter are cleared.
[0036]
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine that includes the arithmetic processing circuit 2 that determines the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine according to the winning of the game ball.

[0039]
In this game board 10, the game balls won in the upper prize opening 11 are stored in a bowl 12 on the back of the game board. The rotating body 13 rotates once for a predetermined time, for example, 20 seconds, and the game ball in the basket 12 enters the concave portion 13a of the rotating body 13 when the rotating body 13 reaches the rotation position shown in the drawing. Thereafter, when the rotator 13 is rotated halfway, the game ball in the recess 13a enters the winning opening 14 on the lower side of the rotator 13, is measured and stored as the number of winnings in the arithmetic processing circuit 2, and is displayed on the display unit 15. The number is displayed.
[0040]
Thereafter, when the rotating body 13 reaches the rotational position shown in the drawing again, if the game ball is stored in the bag 12, the game ball enters the recess 13a of the rotating body 13, and the rotating body 13 is rotated halfway. When entered, it enters the winning opening 14 and is measured and stored as the number of winning prizes. On the other hand, when the rotator 13 reaches the rotation position shown in the figure, if there is no game ball in the basket 12, when the rotator 13 subsequently rotates halfway, the memorized number of winning prizes is interrupted and the memorized number of winnings is erased. At the same time, the display of the number of winnings on the display unit 15 is turned off.
[0041]
When a predetermined number of, for example, eight game balls in the basket 12 enter the winning opening 14, a specific gaming state is generated in the arithmetic processing circuit 2, and the open / close door 16 of the variable winning device is opened for a predetermined period.
[0042]
Thus, the pachinko gaming machine according to the third embodiment is configured in the same manner as the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment except that the timer means (the rotating body 13 or the like) is provided in the gaming board 10. The means measures a predetermined time for each winning game ball, and the specific gaming state occurrence determining means is configured to generate a specific gaming state when the number of winnings during the predetermined time measurement reaches a predetermined value. The memory erasing means is configured to erase the memorized number when the game ball does not win during the predetermined time measurement.
[0043]
For this reason, the pachinko gaming machine according to the third embodiment is different from the conventional pachinko gaming machine having uniform game characteristics, and a specific gaming state such as a big hit state is generated by a completely new generation opportunity. Can be expected to give enough satisfaction.
[0044]
Although the pachinko gaming machine of the fourth embodiment is not shown, a plurality of winning holes, for example, a, b, c, d, are provided on the game board, and when the winning hole a is won, the number of winnings is +2 and the winning hole b is won. Then, the winning number is set to +1, the winning number is set to -1 when winning in the winning slot c, and the winning number is set to -2 when winning in the winning slot d. Composed. In this case, during the game, the value for increasing / decreasing the number of winnings may be changed (for example, +5 when winning the winning hole a, -3 when winning the winning hole b, and the winning hole c) (Change to -4 at the time of winning, and +1 at the time of winning the winning slot d.)
[0045]
Even with the pachinko gaming machine of the fourth embodiment, unlike the conventional pachinko gaming machine having a uniform game characteristic, a specific gaming state such as a big hit state is generated by a completely new generation opportunity, It can be expected to give sufficient satisfaction.
[0046]
