Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a so-called fever machine, a right item, or an arrangement gaming machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As gaming machines in recent years, so-called fever machines, game machines with various game contents called rights items or arrangements have become widespread. The Fever machine performs a so-called reach display in which, for example, a 2-digit display portion of a 3-digit display portion is the same design when a specific symbol is statically displayed after the display state of the variable display device fluctuates, and then the remaining symbols are displayed. If the display unit displays the same combination of symbols as the other display units, specifically a combination of specific double eyes such as “7, 7, 7”, etc., a so-called big hit state is opened that is called an attacker. It is configured as follows. The big prize opening is closed once a predetermined number of game balls have won or a predetermined time has elapsed, but if the game ball passes through a specific area formed in the big prize opening during the opening, It is configured to open and repeat the opening and closing operations up to 16 times.
[0003]
Next, in the right item or the arrangement game machine, when the variable display device is in the above-mentioned specific double-eye display state, the specific prize opening (specific ball entrance) such as a tulip-type electric accessory is opened for a predetermined time. When the game ball passes through a specific area in the opened special winning opening, it becomes a big hit state. When a big hit state is reached, a prize opening, which is normally invalid, is valid until a predetermined number of game balls are won or until a predetermined game has elapsed, and when a game ball wins the valid prize opening, an attacker, etc. It is configured so that the character's functions can be opened.
In this way, when the player is in a state advantageous to the player due to the establishment of a predetermined slot condition, in the Fever machine or the like, the big winning opening (in this case, the attacker) is opened for a predetermined time, Become. In this big hit state, the player will pass the game ball to a specific area in the big winning opening to continue the big hit state, and let a lot of gaming balls win in the opened big winning opening to acquire a large amount of winning balls It is.
The graphic or video displayed on the variable display device of these gaming machines is variably displayed when a game ball enters a specific winning opening, etc., and after a predetermined time elapses, for example, a right display unit, a middle display unit, a left display unit, It is configured to stop in order and display still symbols or still images. In general, the still picture or still picture displayed on each display unit is determined by a random number selected when a game ball wins a specific winning opening or the like.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the symbols and the like that are variably displayed on each display unit of the variable display device have a configuration in which symbols of a fixed arrangement are sequentially sent in a time-sequential manner, although the display speed may be changed during the process. . For example, the number symbols such as “0”, “1”, “2”, “3” to “9”, “10” are sequentially displayed in this order in time series. For this reason, the problem that the next display mode is predicted from the current display mode and lacks interest is considered for the player. This problem is particularly significant in the reach display state in which one display unit is fluctuating and the other displays are statically displayed with the same symbol. That is, when the changing speed of the display unit that is changing in the reach state is approaching the stop state, the stationary symbol of the display unit is easily predicted, and it can be easily determined whether or not it is a big hit.
In order to solve this problem, a proposal for a configuration that starts the change again by pretending that the changing symbol etc. is stopped, and is displayed in front of the change while pretending that the changing symbol etc. is stopped. In addition, proposals have been made for a structure that stops after returning to (passed) a symbol or the like. However, it does not change greatly that the display pattern is regular.
An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that changes the display mode of a variable display device, in particular, the reach state, gives a player a sense of expectation for a fresh jackpot, and further enhances the interest.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  To solve the above problem,

It is a gaming machine to play.
[0006]
Here, the display symbol determination means selects each symbol or video (hereinafter also simply referred to as a symbol or the like) that is sequentially displayed in time series on at least one display section of the variable display means. Any means may be used as long as it is determined according to the random number value, and according to each random value selected due to the entry or passage of the game ball on the game board surface, which is a factor for determining the symbols and the like that are statically displayed on the display unit. Each may be configured to be determined, or may be configured to sequentially determine each by a random number value selected before displaying a one-frame variation symbol. Furthermore, it is configured to determine the number of frames to be sequentially displayed in accordance with a random value selected due to the entry or passage of game balls on the game board surface, which is a factor for determining the symbols and the like that are statically displayed on the display unit. There is no problem. In addition, although it is basic to configure the same number of frames such as symbols and the like to be sequentially displayed, and a random number value that determines the symbols, etc., one configuration is not used, for example, one symbol for two frames, etc. It is also possible to use a configuration that uses random values. In short, as long as it is a configuration that not only determines the stationary symbols etc. after the fluctuation stop by random numbers as in the past, but also the symbols etc. that display sequentially changing display etc. by the random values. good. Furthermore, it is possible to use a design or the like determined by a random number value at a medium or low speed fluctuation that can be visually recognized without using a symbol or the like determined by a random number value during a high-speed fluctuation in which a player cannot visually recognize the symbol or the like. good.
In addition, although the wording “game ball entry” is used in the claims, this is a term for the game ball passing through the passing gate, and whether or not there is a prize ball by entering the ball Regardless of whether or not the game ball is taken into the back of the board.
[0007]

[0008]
【Concrete example】
This specific example will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a pachinko machine 10 as a gaming machine of the present invention. At the center of the game board 12 provided in the pachinko machine 10, a liquid crystal display board 52 constituting a display screen of the variable display device 50 as variable display means including three symbol display parts 52a to 52c is assembled. Yes.
[0009]
A start opening 54 is provided below the liquid crystal display panel 52, and a large winning opening 56 as variable entry means called an attacker is arranged below the start opening 54. Further, on the game board 12, a well-known windmill, a winning opening, and the like (not shown) are installed.
The pachinko machine 10 also includes a control board 15 (see FIG. 2) in which a circuit for controlling the overall operation of the pachinko machine 10 is incorporated. The control board 15 is a prize on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. It is detachably attached to a mechanism board (not shown) to which a ball device or the like is attached. In addition, since the whole structure of the pachinko machine 10 is based on a prior art, illustration and description are abbreviate | omitted.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 2, the control board 15 is provided with a CPU 58 for main control that is the center of the control system of the pachinko machine 10. The CPU 58 is connected to a ROM 60 that stores an operation program for the CPU 58 and a RAM 61 that serves as a work area for the CPU 58. The CPU 58 controls each part of the pachinko machine 10 according to the program stored in the ROM 60. Can be controlled.
[0011]
An input / output port (I / O) 62 is connected to the CPU 58, and the input / output port 62 is installed on the back of the detection sensor 64 and the big prize opening 56 built in the start port 54 described above. A solenoid 66 for driving the opening / closing of the special prize opening 56 and sensors, lamps, speakers, etc. (all not shown) installed in various places of the pachinko machine 10 are connected.
[0012]
The detection sensor 64 outputs a start signal when it detects a game ball that has entered the start port 54, and this start signal is input to the CPU 58. Further, the CPU 58 can release the special winning opening 56 by sending an opening signal and exciting the solenoid 66, and can close the special winning opening 56 by stopping the release signal.
[0013]
The CPU 58 is connected with a success / failure determination counter 68, a left symbol stop counter 70, a middle symbol stop counter 72, a right symbol stop counter 74, and a symbol determination counter 76, and the CPU 58 can read these count values.
The success / failure determination counter 68 repeatedly counts 256 integer values from 0 to 255 in ascending order every minute time, and is used for determination of special game execution (big hit).
[0014]
Each of the left symbol stop counter 70, the middle symbol stop counter 72, and the right symbol stop counter 74 repeatedly counts 16 integer values from 0 to 15 in ascending order, but the count value C1 of the left symbol stop counter 70 is The count value C2 of the middle symbol stop counter 72 is incremented by 1 when the cycle is counted up (1), and the count value C3 of the right symbol stop counter 74 is incremented by 1 when the count value C2 of the center symbol stop counter 72 is incremented once (count up). It is the composition which is done.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 3, the symbol determination counter 76 includes a frame number counter 76a, and 20 frame 1 counters 76b to 76e counters 76e (in this specific example, n = 20). The frame feed number counter 76a is configured to repeatedly count 20 integer values from 0 to 19 in ascending order every minute time. Each of the 20 frame 1 counter 76b to the frame n counter 76e repeatedly counts 16 integer values from 0 to 15 in ascending order, but the count value m1 of the frame 1 counter 76b is one round ( Count up), the count value m2 of the frame 2 counter 76c is incremented by 1. When the count value m2 of the frame 2 counter 76c is 1 round (count up), the count value m3 of the frame 3 counter 76d is incremented by 1. In this way, every time the previous frame count makes one round (counts up), the next frame count is incremented by 1. Finally, the count value m (n−1) of the frame (n−1) count is 1. In this case, the count value mn of the counter n for the frame n is incremented by 1 when it is counted (counted up).
The 16 types of count values “0” to “15” of the left symbol stop counter 70, the middle symbol stop counter 72, the right symbol stop counter 74, and the 20 frame counters 76b to 76e described above are variable. It is comprised so that it may respond | correspond to the number symbol "0"-"15" displayed on the three symbol display parts 52a-52c of the display apparatus 50. FIG.
[0016]
Returning to FIG. 2 again, an input / output port (I / O) 78 is connected to the CPU 58, and the input / output port 78 is connected to an input / output port (I / O) 80 of the symbol display device 50. Yes. A CPU 82 that controls the symbol display device 50 is connected to the input / output port 80, and data and the like can be transmitted and received between the CPU 82 and the CPU 58.
[0017]
Connected to the CPU 82 are a RAM 84 and a ROM 86 that serve as a work area for the CPU 82. The ROM 86 stores an operation program for the CPU 82, image data, and the like.
Further, the liquid crystal display board 52 is connected to the CPU 82 via a drive circuit 88, and the CPU 82 reads out image data from the ROM 86 and transfers it to the drive circuit 88 and instructs the drive circuit 88 of their display form. be able to. The drive circuit 88 is configured to display on the liquid crystal display panel 52 in accordance with an instruction of image data sent from the CPU 82.
[0018]
Next, the liquid crystal display panel 52 of the symbol display device 50 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The left, middle, and right symbol display sections 52a, 52b, and 52c of the liquid crystal display panel 52 each sequentially display a numerical symbol composed of 16 types of numbers “0” to “15” in a time-series manner (scrolling). Display), and after a predetermined time elapses, the display is stopped and a predetermined numeric symbol is displayed statically. As a result, there are 4096 kinds of combinations of numerical symbols displayed on the three symbol display portions 52a, 52b, and 52c from “0, 0, 0” to “15, 15, 15”. The symbols to be displayed in a variable manner are stopped in the order of symbols A, B, and C.
[0019]
Next, the characteristic operation of this example will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
When the gaming machine 10 is connected to a power supply and power is supplied to each circuit from a power supply unit (not shown), the CPU 58 performs a series of initial settings such as a flag and a counter, and starts a main routine (not shown). Thereafter, this process is executed while executing other processes.
[0020]
First, when this process is called, it is determined whether or not the start signal of the detection sensor 64 of the start port 54 on the game board surface 12 is output (S200). Will return and wait for the start signal.
On the other hand, when a game ball wins at the start port 54, the detection sensor 64 generates a start signal (ON signal), so an affirmative determination is made, and each counter value at this time, that is, a winning / decision determining counter 68, a left symbol stop counter 70, The count values of the symbol determination counter 76 including the symbol stop counter 72, the right symbol stop counter 74, the frame number counter 76a, and the 20 frame n counters 76b to 76e are extracted and stored in the RAM 61 (S205). These count values are periodically incremented by the above-described method, and a predetermined range of values is repeatedly created. However, the timing at which the game ball launched by the player on the game board surface 12 wins the start opening 54 is very small. It works as a random number value because it is irregular when viewed in time units.
[0021]
When each count value is stored in the RAM 61, it instructs the liquid crystal display panel 52 to start symbol fluctuation display, audio output, various LED on, etc. After a lapse of time, the count value of the success / failure determination counter 68 is extracted from the count values stored in the RAM 61, and it is determined whether or not the value corresponds to a predetermined jackpot value (for example, 7). If so, it is determined that it is a big hit, and if it is not applicable, it is determined to be off (S210).
[0022]
In the case of a big hit, the big hit symbol is determined according to the count value of the left stop symbol determination counter 70 stored in the RAM 61 (S215). Next, the left symbol display portion 52a and the middle symbol display portion 52b of the liquid crystal display panel 52 are stopped in this order, and the two display portions are statically displayed with a big hit symbol corresponding to the count value of the left stop symbol determination counter 70, and reach display is performed. (S220). This process will be described with reference to the timing chart shown in FIG.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 6, when a game ball wins the start opening 54, the left, middle, and right symbol display portions 52a, 52b, and 52c are respectively displayed in ascending order of numerical symbols “0” to “15” after a lapse of a minute time. Scroll the left symbol display portion 52a for 4.096 seconds, the middle symbol display portion 52b for 5.177 seconds, and the right symbol display portion 52c for 6.619 seconds at such a high speed that the person cannot distinguish the contents of the symbols. After the lapse of 4.096 seconds, the left symbol display section 52a is variably displayed at a medium speed at which the player can determine the contents of the symbol for 1.081 seconds, and then statically displayed. When shifting from this high speed to a medium speed, the symbol is replaced with the symbol three symbols before the jackpot symbol. For example, when the jackpot symbol is “7”, the symbol is replaced with “5” at a speed of 0.364 seconds. By scroll-displaying “5”, “6”, and “7” in order, the big-hit symbol is statically displayed on the left symbol display unit 52a. Similarly, after the middle symbol display unit 52b displays a fluctuation for 5.177 seconds at a high speed, it is changed to the symbol of the symbol four symbols before the big hit symbol, and is changed for 1.442 seconds at a medium speed, and is displayed statically on the big hit symbol. It is. For example, when the big hit symbol is “7”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7” are scrolled at a medium speed and the symbol “7” is displayed statically.
[0024]
When the reach display is performed, the numerical symbols are scroll-displayed on the right symbol display portion 52c at a reach speed of 0.451 seconds per symbol according to the counter value of the symbol determination counter 76 stored in the RAM 61 (S225). This right symbol scroll display will be described.
As described above, when the game ball is won at the starting port 54, each counter value of the symbol determination counter 76 is stored, but the frame number counter 76a determines how many symbols are scrolled at the reach speed. The In this specific example, the minimum frame advance number is 0 symbols, and the maximum frame advance number is 20 symbols. The jackpot symbol is forcibly displayed statically after scrolling the determined number of frames. Accordingly, the right symbol display unit 52c may display the big hit symbol at a reach speed immediately after the variable display at a high speed of 6.619 seconds, or may display the big hit symbol after a maximum of 20 symbols at a reach speed. May be displayed statically. Here, each numerical symbol until the jackpot symbol is displayed is individually determined by the above-described counters 76b to 76e for frame n. Therefore, it is different from the display mode in which the left and middle symbol display parts 52a and 52b are scrolled and displayed in a constant pattern so as to be variably displayed at medium speed, and randomly at the timing when the game ball wins the starting opening. It is determined. As a result, until the jackpot symbol is displayed, the jackpot symbol may be displayed several times or not at all, and the numerical symbol pattern that is scroll-displayed has irregularities of individual variations. It will be.
[0025]
In this way, it becomes a specific game (big hit) state, displays a big hit symbol on the liquid crystal display panel 52, instructs a speaker (not shown) to output a big hit sound, turns on various LEDs (not shown), etc., and wins a big prize The mouth 56 is opened and a big hit process is performed (S230). This jackpot processing is the same as in the prior art. The big winning opening 56 is opened until 10 game balls are won with the solenoid 66 turned on, or until 29 seconds elapses, whichever comes first. If the ball has passed a specific area in the special winning opening, it is a process of repeatedly closing the ball once and then opening it again up to 16 times. As a result, 15 game balls are paid out to the player for each winning prize, and at the time of a big hit, a maximum of 10 × 16 × 15 = 2400 game balls are paid out as winning balls. It is determined whether or not the jackpot process has been completed (S235). If the determination is affirmative (YES), the jackpot process is terminated. If the determination is negative (NO), the process returns to the jackpot process.
[0026]
If a negative determination is made in step S210 that it is not a big hit, a predetermined losing process (S250 to S275) is performed, and the process is returned. That is, in the case of detachment, the detachment symbol is determined according to the count values of the left stop symbol determination counter 70, the middle stop symbol determination counter 72, and the right stop symbol determination counter 74 (S250). Next, it is determined whether or not the display is reach, that is, whether or not the value of the left stop symbol determination counter 70 and the value of the middle stop symbol determination counter 72 match (S255), and a negative determination is made that the reach is not reach. In this case, the left symbol display unit 52a replaces the symbol that is three symbols before the determined out-of-design, and displays a static display 1.081 seconds after the change at medium speed, and the middle symbol display unit 52b and the right symbol display unit 52c Instead of the determined symbols that are four symbols before the symbol, the symbols are displayed statically after 1.442 seconds after changing at medium speed. For example, when the off symbol of each of the left, middle and right symbol display parts 52a, 52b and 52c is determined to be “4”, “5”, “9”, the left symbol display part 52a has “2 ”,“ 3 ”,“ 4 ”,“ 2 ”,“ 3 ”,“ 4 ”,“ 5 ”on the middle symbol display portion 52b, and“ 6 ”,“ 7 ”on the right symbol display portion 52c. , “8”, “9” in order of ascending order in the ascending order, and then the disengaged symbols are statically displayed after the scroll display (S275), the process shifts to the disengagement process (S270), and the process returns.
[0027]
On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in step S255, reach display is performed according to the value of the symbol determination counter 76 (S260) in the same manner as the reach display in the big hit process described above. At this time, it goes without saying that the off symbol determined by the right symbol determination counter 74 is finally displayed in place of the big hit symbol (S265). If the left, middle, and right symbol determination counters 70, 72, and 74 accidentally become the same in the reach display when there is no big hit, a process of incrementing the value of the right symbol determination counter 74 by 1 is executed. .
[0028]
In the specific example described in detail above, the individual symbols that are variably displayed on the right display unit 52c in the reach display are individually determined by the counters 76b to 76e for the frame n. Therefore, it is different from the display mode in which the left and middle symbol display portions 52a and 52b are scrolled and displayed in a constant pattern so as to be variably displayed at medium speed, and at random timing when the game ball wins the start opening 54 To be determined. As a result, the same numeric symbol may be displayed several times or not at all, and the numeric symbol pattern that is scroll-displayed will have individual irregularities. As a result, there is no regularity in the symbol displayed at the reach speed, so the next symbol to be displayed cannot be predicted, and the expectation for the big hit that the symbol to be displayed next is a big hit symbol. Can be held in the player at all times. As a result, the pachinko game can be made more interesting. Further, in this specific example, since the number of symbols that are frame-adjusted by the frame-advance number counter 76a is irregularly determined by random numbers, there is an effect that the sense of expectation for the big hit can be further increased.
[0029]
In the case where a game ball is won at the start opening 54 on the game board surface 12 and the symbols on the respective symbol display portions of the liquid crystal display board 52 are fluctuating or the big hit processing is being executed, the game ball wins the start opening 54 again. As in the conventional case, it is stored that up to four winnings are made, and the above-described “symbol display processing” is executed in the same manner after the symbol variation display is completed and after the big hit processing is completed.
In this specific example, the liquid crystal display panel 52 corresponds to variable display means, the big prize opening 56 corresponds to variable ball entry means, the symbol display device 50 corresponds to display control means, and the symbol determination counter 76 corresponds to display symbol determination means.
[0030]
  NextIngredientsThe example 2 will be described. In the specific example 2, the symbol determination counter 76 shown in FIG. 7 is used as the symbol determination counter 76 shown in FIG. 3 used in the specific example 1, and the other configurations are substantially the same as those in the specific example 1. The symbol determination counter 76 shown in FIG. 7 includes a frame number counter 76f and a frame symbol counter 76g.
  The frame feed number counter 76f is a counter that is incremented every minute time (2.048 ms) and repeatedly creates 20 types of integers from 0 to 19. The frame symbol counter 76g is a predetermined calculation formula (simply simply adding or subtracting the value stored in the work area of the RAM 61 in a predetermined range (preferably setting a plurality of memory spaces in the range of about 100 addresses). It is replaced with 16 kinds of integer values from 0 to 15 in accordance with (Good).
[0031]
In specific example 2, in the reach display shown in specific example 1 (step S220 or S260), the frame advance number is determined at the timing when the game ball wins the start opening 54, but is displayed at the reach speed. The number symbol is determined by the frame symbol counter 76g each time. That is, the value of the frame symbol counter 76g is read immediately before the symbol fluctuation speed of the right symbol display section 52c shifts from high speed to reach speed, and the numerical symbol corresponding to the read value is the numerical symbol at the first reach speed. While the first number symbol is being displayed, the next symbol is determined by the frame symbol counter 76g at that time, and thus the symbols to be displayed next one after another are determined by the frame symbol counter 76g. When the symbol stops when the symbol stops, it is determined from the count value of the left symbol stop counter 70, and when it is off, it is determined by the count value of the right symbol stop counter 74.
[0032]
The second specific example has the same effect as the first specific example, and also has an effect that the configuration of the symbol determination counter 76 can be simplified and the memory can be reduced.
[0033]
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.
For example, in the two specific examples, only the right symbol display section 52c is configured to irregularly display the symbol arrangement that is scroll-displayed by the symbol determination counter 76, but the other two display sections are configured similarly. Also good. Further, in the reach display, the symbol determination counter 76 always displays irregularly. However, the conventional regular display and the symbol determination counter 76 may perform irregular display at a constant rate. In short, the gist of the present invention is to display irregularly the contents of the graphic or video that are sequentially displayed in time series, and this irregular display may be included at least as a part of the configuration of the display mode. .
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
  As described above, according to the gaming machine of the first aspect, there are various patterns or video display patterns sequentially displayed in time series on the display unit of the variable display means, and the player predicts them. It is difficult, and it has an excellent effect that it can give the player a fresh interest. Therefore, the display pattern is variably displayed in a certain pattern, the same symbol may be displayed several times or not at all, and the scrolled symbol pattern may vary. It will have the irregularity of. As a result, there is no regularity in the symbols that are displayed variably, so it is not possible to predict the symbol that will be displayed next. It has an extremely excellent effect that it can always be held by a person.
  In addition, since the number of symbols to be frame-by-frame is irregularly determined by random numbers, there is an effect that the expectation for the big hit can be further increased.
  In addition, since there is no regularity in the symbol displayed at the reach speed, the symbol to be displayed next cannot be predicted, and the expectation for the big hit that the symbol to be displayed next is a big hit symbol is not expected. It has an extremely excellent effect that it can always be held by a player.
  As a result, the pachinko game can be made more interesting.
