一方、取得乱数がステップｃにて大当たり値であると判定された場合は、ステップｆに移行し、停止図柄カウント手段に記憶された停止回数のうち最も多い停止回数の図柄を大当たり発生時の停止図柄とするよう決定する。即ち、表１の例では停止回数が２２回と最も多い「７」を大当たり図柄に決定し、図柄制御基板１１に「７７７」の大当たり図柄の変動パターンを図柄変動表示器２に画像表示する指令を出す。そうすると、図柄変動表示器２に「１，２，３，４，５，６，７，８，☆，◆，◎，○」の図柄が上下に流れる如くに３列にて変動表示され、その数秒後に左列，右列，中列の順に変動を停止し、３列とも「７」の同図柄、即ち、「７７７」を停止図柄とすることで大当たりが発生したことを表示する。そしてステップｈにて停止図柄カウント手段の記憶を消去、即ち、全図柄とも０回にする。そしてステップｉにて、ソレノイドの作動により可変入賞装置７の開閉扉８を繰り返し継続的に開放し多数の遊技球を入賞可能にする大当たり処理をする。なお、上記ステップｈにおける記憶の消去は、大当たりを発生させた図柄のみを０回にし、他の図柄については記憶を消去することなく、以降の遊技でも累積されるようにしてもよい。
【００１８】
このように、停止図柄カウント手段に記憶された停止回数に基づき、ハズレ時に多数回停止していた図柄にて大当たりが発生するようにしたことで、遊技者からは次に大当たりとなる図柄が予感され、実際にその図柄での大当たりが生じることとなるので、興趣に富んだ遊技が可能となる。なお、大当たり図柄を常に上記方法によって決定する必要はなく、時折このように決定されるようにしてもよい。また、累積記憶する図柄は必ずしも上記のように左列の停止図柄でなくてもよいことは勿論である。
【００１９】
また、累積記憶する図柄をいわゆるリーチ図柄とするのも効果的である。請求項２に記載のパチンコ遊技機は、停止図柄カウント手段によっていままでハズレであったリーチ図柄を累積記憶するもので、図柄変動表示器２の少なくとも２列が同図柄にて変動停止したとき、停止図柄カウント手段にその停止回数を図柄ごとに累積記憶する。例えば停止図柄が「６８６」であったとき停止図柄カウント手段に「６」をリーチ図柄であったことを記憶し、「４６４」が停止図柄であったときは「４」をリーチ図柄であったことを記憶し、表２に例示したように図柄ごとにそのリーチ図柄を累積記憶する。
【００２０】
【表２】

【００２１】
そして、この停止図柄カウント手段に記憶されたリーチ図柄の停止回数に基づき、より多くリーチ状態をもたらした図柄にて大当たりが発生するようにする。表２の例では「６」が最多であるので大当たり図柄として「６６６」が選択される。こうすることで遊技者は、より多くリーチとなった図柄での大当たりが予感されるようになることから興趣に富んだ遊技を可能にする。
【００２２】
また、停止図柄カウント手段に記憶された図柄ごとの停止回数を例えば図柄変動表示器２に表示する手段を設け、上記表１および表２に示したような情報を遊技者に提供することにより、この累計を見たうえで次に来る大当たりの図柄を遊技者に予想させるようにすることも可能であり、これによって期待感はさらに高揚する。
【００２３】
【発明の効果】
このように本発明は、停止図柄カウント手段により図柄変動表示器に表示されるハズレ図柄を図柄ごとに累積記憶し、その停止回数に基づいて大当たり発生時の停止図柄が決定されるようにしたことから、ハズレ図柄によって遊技者に大当たり図柄を連想，示唆させ、大当たりの発生を予感させるようになることから、この種のパチンコ遊技を一層興趣に富んだものにできる顕著な効果がある。

[Prior art]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent No. 2915370 [Patent Document 2]
JP 2000-176113 A [Patent Document 3]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-177543
As shown in the above-mentioned patent document, the first type pachinko gaming machine is provided with a pattern variation display such as a color liquid crystal display, CRT, etc. on the game board surface, and the game ball hit by the player is a tulip-shaped starting port. When the starting condition is satisfied, the symbols 1 to 8 and symbols such as ☆ ◆ ◎ ○ or characters, etc., flow vertically or horizontally in the symbol variation display unit in multiple rows (usually three rows). The display change stops after a few seconds, and the stop pattern has a chance (for example, “222”, “777”, “☆☆☆”) with a predetermined probability (about 1/300). The door of the variable winning device (large winning mouth) is opened by the operation of the solenoid, and a predetermined number (usually 10) of hit balls enter the variable winning device in the opened state. Or open letter When a predetermined time limit (usually 30 seconds) elapses, the so-called first round is over and the variable winning device is temporarily closed. During this first round, the continuous winning opening provided in the variable winning device If a hit ball has entered the (V zone), the variable winning device is opened again as soon as the second round starts, and a predetermined number (usually ten) of hit balls are again placed in the opened variable winning device. ) When a ball is entered or the predetermined time limit (usually 30 seconds) elapses in the open state, the second round is over and the variable prize-winning device is closed again. If a ball was entered, the third round started and the variable prize-winning device was opened again. Thus, the final round (usually the 16th round) was made on the condition that the hitting ball was won in the continuous winning slot during each round. Na Until the variable winning device is continuously opened, which is constituted such that many benefits provided to the player because it can obtain the number of the prize balls in such jackpot operation.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in this type of pachinko gaming machine, the determination of whether it is a big hit or a loss, and the determination of the stop symbol in the case of a big hit are acquired when the start condition is satisfied, that is, when the game ball enters the start opening. It was done randomly by random numbers. For this reason, even if the player always looks at the loss symbol during the game, the player does not associate or suggest the jackpot symbol, and the expectation and fun of the jackpot are reduced.
[0005]
Therefore, according to the present invention, in determining a stop symbol in the case of a jackpot, it is possible to make an interesting game by providing an association with a symbol that has been lost.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention displays a plurality of symbols variably displayed in a plurality of rows on the symbol variation display when the start condition is satisfied, and it is determined that the random number acquired when the start condition is satisfied is a jackpot value. in pachinko machines each column is large per stopped varies at the same symbol occur if, each column of the symbol variable display acquired random number is not the jackpot value by the occurrence of the start conditions vary stopped at the same symbol If not, stop symbol counting means for accumulating and storing the number of stop symbols of at least one column of the symbol variation display unit for each symbol is provided, and the largest number of stop times among the number of stops stored in the stop symbol counting means Is determined as a stop symbol at the time of occurrence of the jackpot, and after the determination is made, the memory of the stop symbol count means is erased.
[0007]
Further, the present invention displays a plurality of symbols in a plurality of columns on the symbol variation display when the start condition is satisfied, and each column is determined when it is determined that the random number obtained by the satisfaction of the start condition is a jackpot value. in pachinko machines with large contact stops varies at the same symbol occurs, the when the random number acquired by the occurrence of the start conditions of at least two rows of symbol variable display not jackpot value is stopped varies at the same symbol A stop symbol counting means for accumulating and storing the number of stops for each symbol is provided so that the symbol with the largest number of stops among the number of stops stored in the stop symbol counting means is determined as the stop symbol at the time of occurrence of the big hit. The memory of the stop symbol counting means is erased after the determination is made.
[0010]
Further, the present invention is characterized in that the pachinko gaming machine is provided with means for displaying the number of stops for each symbol stored in the stop symbol counting means.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an outline of a game board 1 in this pachinko gaming machine. In the figure, 2 is a symbol variation display comprising a color liquid crystal display provided on the game board 1, and 3 and 4 are both sleeves. The normal winning opening 5 is a tulip-shaped starting opening provided so that a pair of blades can be opened and closed by a solenoid, and 6 is a winning winning opening. Reference numeral 7 denotes a variable winning device comprising a large rectangular large winning opening provided below the starting opening 5, and the variable winning apparatus is provided with an opening / closing door 8 that opens and closes by the operation of a solenoid.
[0012]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of a control system for operating the symbol variation indicator 2. Reference numeral 10 denotes a main board composed of a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc., 11 denotes a CPU, a VDP (video display processor), an image ROM, A symbol control board composed of an image RAM or the like. The symbol control board selects a symbol pattern from the image ROM according to a command from the main substrate, and creates a symbol variation pattern to be displayed on the symbol variation display 2. Reference numeral 12 denotes a winning ball detection switch which is provided at the start port 5 and sends a winning ball detection signal to the main board 10. The main board 10 is connected to other peripheral devices such as other winning ball detection switches, a solenoid for opening and closing the opening / closing door 8, a voice control board, and a winning ball payout board (all not shown).
[0013]
Then, the main board 10 receives a winning ball detection signal from the winning ball detection switch 12, acquires a random number, and determines the “big hit” or “losing” by determining the random number, The symbol variation display unit 2 determines a loss symbol to be displayed on the symbol variation display 2 by determining a random number at the same time, a stop symbol counting unit to be described later, and a procedure to be described later at the time of “big hit”. Each of the symbol determination means for determining the jackpot symbol to be displayed on the screen and the jackpot operation control means can be provided by executing a program stored in the ROM.
[0014]
Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 1 and claims 3 and 4 will be described according to the flowchart of FIG. When winning at the start port 5 is detected in step a and the start condition is satisfied, a random number is acquired in step b, and it is determined in step c whether the acquired random number is a predetermined jackpot value. If it is not the big hit value, the process proceeds to step d, where a lost symbol is selected, and a command to display the variation pattern of the lost symbol on the symbol variation display 2 is given to the symbol control board 11. For this reason, the symbol variation display 2 displays, for example, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ☆, ◆, ◎, ○” in three columns so that the symbols flow up and down. Then, after a few seconds, the fluctuation is stopped in the order of the left column, the right column, and the middle column, and for example, a stop symbol such as “6 ◆ 2” is displayed, thereby displaying a loss.
[0015]
In step e, the stop symbol “6” in the left column is stored in the stop symbol counting means. As illustrated in Table 1, the stop symbol counting means accumulates and stores the stop symbols in the left column for each symbol.
[0016]
[Table 1]

[0017]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step c that the acquired random number is a jackpot value, the process proceeds to step f, and the symbol with the largest number of stops stored in the stop symbol count means is stopped when the jackpot occurs. Decide to be a symbol. That is, in the example of Table 1, “7”, which has the largest number of stoppages of 22 times, is determined as the jackpot symbol, and the command pattern for displaying the variation pattern of the jackpot symbol “777” on the symbol variation display 2 on the symbol control board 11 is displayed. Put out. Then, on the symbol fluctuation display 2, the symbols “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ☆, ◆, ◎, ○” are variably displayed in three rows so that the symbols flow up and down. After a few seconds, the fluctuation is stopped in the order of the left column, the right column, and the middle column, and all the three columns display the same symbol of “7”, that is, “777” as a stopped symbol, thereby displaying that a big hit has occurred. In step h, the memory of the stop symbol counting means is erased, that is, all symbols are set to zero. Then, in step i, a jackpot process is performed in which the open / close door 8 of the variable winning device 7 is repeatedly opened continuously by operating the solenoid so that a large number of game balls can be won. It should be noted that the erasure of the memory in step h may be accumulated only in the subsequent games without erasing the memory for the other symbols without erasing the memory only for the symbol that generated the jackpot.
[0018]
In this way, the player is given the next big jackpot symbol by making a big hit with the symbol that has been stopped many times at the time of loss based on the number of stops stored in the stop symbol counting means. In fact, a big hit with the design will occur, so that an entertaining game becomes possible. Note that it is not always necessary to determine the jackpot symbol by the above method, and it may be determined in this way from time to time. Also, it goes without saying that the symbols to be accumulated and stored are not necessarily the stop symbols in the left column as described above.
[0019]
It is also effective to use a so-called reach design as a cumulative stored design. The pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2 is for accumulating and storing the reach symbols that have been lost until now by the stop symbol counting means, and when at least two columns of the symbol variation indicator 2 are variably stopped in the symbol, The stop symbol count means accumulates the number of stops for each symbol. For example, when the stop symbol is “686”, the stop symbol counting means stores “6” as a reach symbol, and when “464” is a stop symbol, “4” is a reach symbol. As shown in Table 2, the reach symbols are accumulated and stored for each symbol.
[0020]
[Table 2]

[0021]
Then, based on the number of times the reach symbol is stored in the stop symbol counting means, the jackpot is generated in the symbol that has caused the reach state more. In the example of Table 2, “6” is the largest, so “666” is selected as the jackpot symbol. By doing so, the player can be expected to have a big hit with the symbol that has become more reachable, so that the game can be interesting.
[0022]
Further, by providing means for displaying the number of stops for each symbol stored in the stop symbol counting means, for example, on the symbol variation indicator 2, and providing the player with information as shown in Tables 1 and 2 above, It is possible to make the player predict the next jackpot symbol after looking at this cumulative total, which further enhances the expectation.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the lost symbols displayed on the symbol variation display by the stop symbol counting means are accumulated and stored for each symbol, and the stop symbol at the time of occurrence of the big hit is determined based on the number of times of the stop. Therefore, it is possible to associate and suggest the jackpot symbol by the loser symbol, and to predict the occurrence of the jackpot, which has a remarkable effect of making this kind of pachinko game more interesting.
