Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine, a program for a ball game machine, and a bullet game machine for controlling a display mode in a variable display means such as a liquid crystal, an LED, a CRT, or a mechanically driven reel using a control device such as a computer. The present invention relates to a storage medium for storing a control procedure of a ball game machine.

  A ball and ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine is configured such that a predetermined condition is established by supplying a game medium, and the game medium can be paid out in the case of winning as a result of the game. In addition, a ball and ball game machine such as a pachinko machine controls the display mode of the variable display means (for example, the symbol variable display device) by using a control device such as a computer when the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the display mode results. Based on this, it is configured to identify a gaming state advantageous / disadvantageous to the player. The predetermined condition here means that a right is generated by winning a predetermined prize opening or other conditions (for example, winning a starting prize opening (also referred to as a starting chucker), winning a plurality of predetermined winning openings <third Seed rights>).

  For example, a ball game machine has a liquid crystal image display area (symbol display section) usually called digital on the front of the ball game machine. In this symbol display section, there is a main display area that variably displays a plurality of symbols (including pictures and numbers). In this main display area, the symbols are variably displayed as if they are rotating at a high speed, and for a predetermined time. After the elapse of time, a display for temporarily stopping the rotation in order with a time difference of about several seconds for each symbol is displayed. In such a main display area, after the first symbol of the plurality of symbols temporarily stops, when the next temporarily stopped symbol (second temporary stop symbol) is aligned with the first temporary stop symbol, a so-called reach state is reached, and the remaining symbols When the symbols are temporarily stopped and all the symbols are aligned, the game will be in a definitive stop state, and if a predetermined specific symbol pattern (aspect display) is established, such as the same type of symbols being aligned, the jackpot as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player Will occur. In other words, if the symbol pattern stopped in the main display area is, for example, a combination of “7”, “7”, “7”, the pachinko gaming machine can acquire a large number of game balls such as pachinko balls. A specific gaming state that is advantageous to the player occurs.

  In addition, there is a gaming machine that generates a probability variation in which the next big hit probability or the small hit probability greatly increases when the aligned stop symbols are predetermined specific symbols (probability variation symbols).

  Next, a procedure for generating a jackpot will be described using a pachinko gaming machine. In other words, in order to win a big hit with a pachinko gaming machine, a big hit random number value must be assigned from the big hit random number generation range value in the big hit determination program (determination means). The jackpot determination program is for determining whether the jackpot or loss, and all of the symbols displayed in the main display area are determined based on the random number value assigned by the symbol determination program described later (in the stop symbol mode). Decision).

  As an example of pachinko gaming machines, a sensor provided in a start winning opening determined as a predetermined winning opening detects a game ball passing through the starting winning opening (hereinafter referred to as a ball). When (attainment of a predetermined condition), the jackpot determination program starts and determines one random number value of the jackpot random number generation range value. Then, the plurality of symbols are variably displayed in the main display area as if they are rotating, and the plurality of symbols are temporarily stopped in order from the first symbol (first stop symbol) based on the random number value assigned by the symbol determination program. Is displayed and the fixed stop symbol is displayed.

  In the case of a big hit, an image showing the big hit is displayed on the entire surface of the symbol display unit including the main display area, and a flashing lamp that produces a big hit using a decorative lamp or speaker provided on the front of the ball game machine And music is output. On the other hand, when the game is not a big hit, the symbol variable display device displays a symbol in a lost manner, and the symbol variable display device waits until the next big win occurs. In addition, since the symbol displayed in the main display area is a variable symbol indicating jackpot or loss, it is called a special symbol.

  As described above, in order to allocate a random value that is a big hit, it is necessary to win a ball (achieve a predetermined condition) at the start winning opening. The number of balls won in the start winning opening during the symbol variation display is stored in the memory of the main controller of the computer structure mounted on the pachinko gaming machine. The stored number is notified to the player by turning on the stored ball number display lamp provided on the game board (hereinafter, the stored ball number display lamp is referred to as a held lamp).

Since the number of lights on the hold lamp corresponds to the number of winnings, it means how many rights to assign the above-mentioned jackpot random number, but the random number assignment (or symbol change and stop display) is executed once. As a result, the number of lighting of the holding lamp decreases by one.
JP 11-319212 A

  By the way, there is an upper limit for the number of times that the right can be obtained continuously, that is, the maximum number of scheduled executions of symbol fluctuations. It is determined by the internal regulations of the Act on Optimization. Therefore, only a maximum of four hold lamps are installed. However, the present invention is not limited to how many the upper limit value is.

  Therefore, even if the winning is continuously more than the number of the holding lamps installed, only up to four holding lamps can be lit. In other words, even if winning more than the maximum scheduled number of executions of symbol variation is awarded, the winning occurs when it is not eligible for the right. . Therefore, the player has devised not to waste the ball by stopping the launch of the ball when the four hold lamps are turned on (so-called full full).

However, the act of stopping launching is detrimental to the player as it breaks the previous firing rhythm, and it also detracts from the management of the amusement hall because the utilization rate of the ball game machine is reduced. Had been removed.
The present invention relates to a ball game machine and a ball ball game machine in which a player can play without breaking the firing rhythm by continuously executing a lost one of the start opening winning memorized values and stocking the winning ones. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage medium that stores a control program and a control procedure for a ball game machine.

Further, in the elastic gaming machine of the present invention, a configuration in which the determination result corresponding to the specific gaming state is always a determination result other than the determination result for generating the gaming state to be executed first can be exemplified.

  According to this illustration, the specific gaming state is concentrated later, so that both states can occur at once and the trouble that the player needs to stop or not stop is prevented. This can prevent the decline in the operating efficiency of the amusement store. Moreover, since a specific gaming state can be generated collectively, a satisfaction can be given to the player.

  Furthermore, in the elastic gaming machine of the present invention, the determination means further determines whether or not to stop display the symbol in a predetermined manner, and the storage means determines the symbol in advance. Further storing a determination result on whether or not to stop display in the mode, and based on the determination result, further comprising symbol display control means for variably displaying and stopping the symbol, and after the symbol is variably displayed, When the stop display is performed in a predetermined manner determined in advance, a specific game state advantageous to the player is executed.

Furthermore, the ball game machine of the present invention includes a symbol variable display device that variably displays symbols, a determination unit that determines whether or not establishment of a predetermined mode display is confirmed by achievement of a predetermined condition, When the predetermined condition is achieved during variable display of the symbol according to the determination result of the determination means, a storage for storing in a predetermined storage area whether or not the display of the mode by the determination means is achieved a predetermined number of times the predetermined condition is achieved And a display means for executing a specific gaming state advantageous to the player when the display of the form is established, by displaying on the design variable display device whether or not the display of the form is established after the variable display of the design. And when executing the presence / absence of the mode display by the mode display execution unit, the mode display execution unit changes the sequence regardless of the sequence determined by the determination unit. Characterized in that it has an order change control means. The predetermined number of times means, for example, the upper limit of the number of reserved balls, and the upper limit is 5 in the current wind law.

  Furthermore, in the ball game machine of the present invention, the storage means stores the presence / absence of the mode display in the storage area, and stores it in the execution order changed by the order change control means. .

  Furthermore, in the ball game machine of the present invention, the order change control means is configured to execute the order so that a value indicating establishment of the aspect display in the specific gaming state is executed after a value in which the aspect display is not established. It is characterized by changing.

  In this embodiment, a ball game machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko game machine”) that uses a ball (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko ball” unless otherwise specified) fired by a game ball launcher installed in the ball game machine. ").

  The pachinko gaming machine I shown in the present embodiment is classified into “types 1 to 3 special electric appliances” in the internal rules of the applicable law (the laws relating to customs business and the law relating to the optimization of business).

  First, an overview of a pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pachinko gaming machine I as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

  On the game board 1 in the pachinko gaming machine I, guide rails 2 for guiding the pachinko balls launched by the operation of the handle 28 as a game ball launching device into the game board 1 are planted in a substantially circular shape. Then, a substantially circular area defined by the guide rail 2 becomes a game area 3.

  This pachinko gaming machine I corresponds to a prepaid card system, and is provided with a prepaid card unit II adjacent thereto.

  The prepaid card unit II includes a card reader 29 therein, and the player inserts the prepaid card 35 purchased before the game is executed into the reading port 33 of the card reader 29 to execute the pachinko game. Get ready.

  Near the center of the game area 3, a symbol variable display device 30 that variably displays a plurality of pieces of identification information (hereinafter referred to as “symbols”) such as numbers, symbols, and patterns by liquid crystal display is installed.

  The symbols displayed by the symbol variable display device 30 are not limited to those by the liquid crystal display, but the symbols are drawn on the surface of the rotating drum, the symbols are drawn on the surface of the rotating sphere, the dot matrix lamp display , CRT, EL display, etc., as long as the symbols can be displayed in a variable manner.

The symbol variable display device 30 is provided in the center portion of the game board surface 1, and the symbol variable display device 30 represents a well-known three-digit symbol (32a, 32b, 32c) variable display mode and fixed stop display mode. And a determination result display section 32. The three-digit symbols (32a, 32b, 32c) displayed on the determination result display unit 32 are displayed as follows. That is, when the start winning ball detection sensor 5 provided in the vicinity of the start winning port 4 detects a winning ball (achievement of a predetermined condition), the detected signal is transmitted via an input interface provided in the pachinko gaming machine I. It is sent to the main controller 60. Then, in the main control device 60, a determination program for determining a special gaming state is executed and random number lottery is performed. Based on the extracted value, each of the fluctuating symbols, the fluctuating symbol background aspect, and the fluctuating temporary stop symbol display A mode is determined (determination means), and finally hits the determination result display unit 32 to display a definite stop symbol indicating detachment (execution of mode display).

  In addition, when the combination of the fixed stop symbols becomes a predetermined fixed stop display mode, a specific gaming state (a big hit or a big hit with a probability variation) that allows the player to proceed with the game advantageously starts. means).

  The specific gaming state refers to a jackpot state that appears within a predetermined period after all the variation displays on the determination result display unit 32 are stopped, or a jackpot state with probability variation that appears after all the variation displays are stopped. Say. If it is not in a specific gaming state, it is lost. Therefore, the symbols 32a, 32b, and 32c are symbols that determine the presence / absence of hits, and are referred to as special symbols.

  A mode in which at least one of the symbols 32a, 32b, and 32c is changing is called a symbol change display mode, and a special behavior of a special symbol (behavior during change: a symbol change temporary stop display effect, a reach effect, etc.) or a special symbol. The background variation display mode is also included. On the other hand, the display mode when all symbols are stopped is referred to as a fixed stop symbol mode. If the symbol shifts from the variable display mode to the fixed stop mode, the player is informed whether the game is a big hit or a miss, and if it is a big hit, which symbols are matched and the big hit with probability fluctuation Be informed. Therefore, it can be said that the symbol variation display mode is related to the fixed stop symbol mode.

  The display screen of the symbol variable display device 30 is provided with a specific area (effect notification area) 50 for displaying a specific character.

  Above the symbol variable display device 30, a winning guide port 34 and decoration LEDs 35 a and 35 b are provided. Note that the decoration LEDs 35a and 35b notify the fact by changing the light emission color or luminance or changing the blinking condition when a predetermined prize is generated.

  In addition, below the symbol variable display device 30, the above-mentioned start winning opening 4 is provided. When the pachinko ball enters the start winning opening 4, the variation of the pattern is caused. Therefore, when the pachinko ball enters the start winning opening 4, the start winning opening 4 is also referred to as the start opening. The winning pachinko balls are referred to as “winning balls” unless otherwise specified. The presence or absence of a win is detected by a win detection sensor 5 which is a win ball detector when a pachinko ball enters the start winning opening 4.

  The number of pachinko balls won in the start winning opening 4 during symbol variation is stored in the reserved ball storage memory (RAM 60c: storage means) of the pachinko gaming machine I up to a predetermined maximum number (for example, four) as reserved balls. . The number stored in the reserved ball storage memory is referred to as the special symbol variation storage number.

  The number of held balls can be known to the player by the number of lighting of the held ball display LED 44 which is a holding lamp provided on the game board surface. The player can know how much of the remaining symbol variation (drum rotation) is caused to stop the symbol variation from the number of the on-hold ball display LEDs 44 that are lit. Therefore, it can be said that the number of the holding ball display LEDs 44 that are lit is start-up memory information that indicates a predetermined effective number (for example, four times) of winning that is the starting condition of the symbol variation. This start-up memory information holds the symbol variation up to a predetermined effective number of times.

In addition, a large winning device 6 corresponding to a variable winning device is provided in the vicinity of the start winning port 4. The big winning device 6 is of a type called a so-called attacker, and has an opening / closing member 7 that closes the big winning opening 8 in a normal state so that a pachinko ball is not won. In the case of the specific gaming state Only for a certain period of time, the solenoid 10 provided on the back of the game board (not shown) causes the opening / closing member 7 to be tilted and released so that the pachinko ball can be easily won in the big winning opening 8. The predetermined period refers to a period until a predetermined time (about 29 to 30 seconds) elapses or a predetermined number (9 to 10 balls) of winning balls are generated.

  A big winning ball detection sensor 72 is arranged so as to detect a pachinko ball when winning in the big winning opening 8 to detect the big winning pachinko ball. In addition, a continuous winning area (not shown) provided so as to pass with a predetermined probability is provided in the inside, and a continuous ball detection sensor arranged to detect a pachinko ball that passes through the continuous winning area A continuous winning pachinko ball is detected at 73, and the acquired large winning detection signal and the continuous winning detection signal are sent to the main controller 60 through the input interface. Therefore, the continuous control of the big winning device 6 is executed by the program incorporated in the ROM 60b of the main control device 60 based on the signals detected by the big winning detection sensor 72 and the continuous ball detecting sensor 73.

  That is, when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 4 and the winning detection sensor 5 is turned ON, random numbers are assigned by the jackpot determination program, the symbol determination program, and the variation pattern determination program incorporated in the ROM 60b of the main controller 60, respectively. Therefore, if the random value assigned by the jackpot determination program is the same as the predetermined jackpot random value, it is determined to be a jackpot, and the combination content of the symbols is determined by the random value assigned by the jackpot symbol determination program, and the jackpot The variation pattern of the effect including reach is determined by the random value assigned by the variation pattern determination program for use (determination means).

  The symbol variable display device 30 is controlled to display, for example, a special symbol in a variable manner, and a symbol indicating a jackpot, a reach state, and a specific gaming state (a jackpot state or a jackpot state with a probability variation). When the symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 32 is a big hit with a predetermined specific symbol (for example, “3”, “3”, “3”, “7”, “7”, “7”), Even after the jackpot gaming situation is over, the game proceeds to a state where a jackpot is likely to occur during the next game (a jackpot state with probability variation).

  The symbol control device 61 is connected to the main control device 60, and controls the symbol variable display device 30 based on a command output from the main control device 60. That is, the main control device 60 (ROM 60b) determines whether or not the jackpot is determined by the jackpot determination program, then determines the special symbol based on the random number value assigned by the symbol determination program, and sends a command indicating the determination result to the symbol controller 61. Is received, the symbol variable display device 30 starts to change the symbols displayed on the symbol display unit 32, and when a certain time has elapsed after the change starts, the special symbols 32a, 32b, and 32c are arranged in the order of left, middle, and right. And the special symbol is determined based on the determination of the symbol determination program. Therefore, in this embodiment, the left special symbol 32a is referred to as a first stop symbol, the middle special symbol 32b is referred to as a second stop symbol, and the right special symbol 32c is referred to as a third stop symbol.

  Further, when the fluctuation pattern including the presence / absence of the reach state is determined by the random number assigned by the fluctuation pattern determination program in the main controller 60 (ROM 60b), and the symbol controller 61 receives a command indicating these fluctuation patterns, the symbol variable display The device 30 displays a notice effect including a reach effect based on this variation pattern. In addition, if the jackpot determination program determines that the game is a jackpot, a specific game state (also referred to as a jackpot game state) is entered, and the symbol variable display device 30 displays the jackpot symbol on the entire display screen after the notice effect.

In addition, windmill-type decoration lamps 18a and 18b incorporating light emitting lamps are provided on the left and right sides of the upper portion of the symbol variable display device 30. Wind turbines 18 c and 18 d are provided on the left and right sides of the lower portion of the symbol variable display device 30. Furthermore, lamps 16 a and 16 b are provided on both the left and right sides of the special winning device 6.

The payout control device 64 includes a CPU 64a, a RAM 64b that temporarily stores processing items of the CPU 64a, and a payout. A ROM 64c for storing a processing program and the like is provided.

The launch control device 65 is a sub-control device that controls the launch device 68 by a player's handle operation to launch a game ball into the game board 1. The launch control device 65 may include a CPU, a RAM that temporarily stores processing items of the CPU, a ROM that stores a control program, and the like.

Next, the main control device 60 executes a main control program to perform “power-on processing (see FIG. 4)”, “system timer interrupt processing (see FIG. 5)”, “power-off interrupt processing (see FIG. 4). 6) ”will be described based on each flowchart. The priority order of program execution performed by main controller 60 is (a) power-on processing, (b) system timer interrupt processing, and (c) power-off interrupt processing.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the power-on process is a process that is executed first after power-on. After initial settings such as operation settings of the CPU 60 a of the main controller 60 are performed, a loop process that is repeatedly executed is performed. Constitute.

  That is, when the power is turned on, the CPU 60a performs an initial setting process relating to the operation of the CPU 60a, such as permission to access the CPU built-in RAM (step 101).

Next, the CPU 60a performs a power-off check process (steps 102 to 104). In this power-off check process, whether or not the power is turned on after the power-off occurs (whether it is the start-up after power-off recovery or the start-up from the normal state) is distributed. There are three distribution conditions: (1) RAM clear switch status (step 102), (2) Flag value set when power is cut off (step 103), (3) All RAM area when power is cut off And the contents of all RAM areas at the time of power-on (step 104).

  (1) When the RAM clear switch is in the condition of “ON” (step 102: YES), it starts from the normal state. On the other hand, in the case of “OFF” (step 102: NO), the power-on recovery is started, and the process proceeds to step 105.

(2) If the flag value is set to “0” (step 103: YES) under the condition of the flag value to be set when the power interruption occurs, the system is started from the normal state. On the other hand, if the value of the flag is “other than 0” (step 103: NO), the power-on recovery is activated, and the process proceeds to step 105.

  (3) If the contents of all RAM areas at the time of power-off and the contents of all RAM areas at power-on are “mismatched” (step 104: YES), startup from the normal state It becomes. On the other hand, when the contents of all the RAM areas are “match” (step 104: NO), the process is started after the power is turned off, and the process proceeds to step 105.

  Activation from power-off recovery includes stack pointer recovery (step 105), return command transmission to each control command corresponding to the gaming state immediately before power-off occurrence (step 106), power-off recovery RAM area initialization (step 105) 107), return of each register (step 108), return of the interrupt state (step 109), etc. After these are executed, the processing after the return is repeated when the power is turned on.

  On the other hand, as a result of the power-off check, if the startup is from the normal state (steps 102 to 104: YES), the stack pointer is initially set (step 110). Step 111) is performed, and the process proceeds to Step 112 and subsequent steps.

  In the processing after step 112, the CPU 60a performs random number update processing using the random number value obtained from the random number generation circuit 71 (see FIG. 3). In this random number update process, the CPU 60a updates the hit determination initial value random number (step 112), the effect selection random number update (step 113), the special symbol deviation random number selection random number update (step 114), and the like. I do. The hit determination initial value random number is a random number that determines a starting random number value for determining whether or not a big hit or not. The effect selection random number is a random number for determining the game content of the change at the start of the change. Furthermore, the special symbol out-of-design symbol selection random number means a random number for determining a stop symbol at the time of out-of-shift fluctuation. Further, the processing of steps 112 to 114 has a main loop structure, and update processing such as updating of a special symbol initial value random number, updating of a random number for effect selection, updating of a special symbol out of symbol selection, and the like are repeated.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the system timer interrupt process is a process that is repeatedly executed by a reset pulse periodically (for example, 2 ms). Update.

  That is, when the system timer interrupt process is activated, the CPU 60a performs a saving process for each register (step 201). Next, the RAM area is initialized (step 202) and the special symbol jackpot random number is updated (step 203). In the RAM area initial setting in step 202, the output port buffer area and the like are initialized.

  Next, the CPU 60a performs port reading (step 204). In this port reading, the CPU 60a performs switch-related reading and edge detection such as a start winning ball detection sensor (first type start port switch) 5 and the like.

  Next, the CPU 60a performs switch input management (step 205). This switch input management is related to the detection processing of balls that have won a predetermined winning opening, and will be described later with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

Next, the CPU 60a monitors abnormalities such as a supply ball run-out error and a dish full tank error (step 206), and performs special symbol control (special symbol management processing) having a property of shifting to a specific gaming state depending on the display state (step 207). ). In this special symbol control (special symbol management process), the CPU 60a performs management from the start to stop of special symbol variation and prepares for command transmission to the symbol control device (display generator circuit 81). In this case, at the time of starting winning a prize, the contents of the effect such as the hit determination of the change and the change time are determined. The special symbol management process will be described later based on the flowcharts of FIGS.

  Next, the CPU 60a performs normal symbol control having a property of making the movable part of the variable dynamic prize-winning device provided in the gaming machine easy to win depending on the display state (step 208). In this normal symbol control, the CPU 60a manages from the start to stop the variation of the normal symbol for small hits displayed on a predetermined variable display device and prepares for command transmission to the symbol control device (display generator circuit 81). I do. In this case, based on the detection of the small winning ball detection sensor 74, the small hit determination regarding the variable right of the variable part of the variable dynamic winning device, the determination of the variable time, etc. are performed. Manages the opening / closing check of the movable part of the variable winning device.

  Next, the CPU 60a transmits a command to the driver 82 to perform lamp control (step 209). That is, in this ramp control, the CPU 60a prepares for transmission of a command corresponding to the gaming state of the special symbol (for example, a lamp that informs the player of the gaming state of the special symbol). Furthermore, a prize ball payout state display lamp command is transmitted.

  Next, the CPU 60a transmits a command to a payout control device (not shown) to perform prize ball payout control (step 210). That is, in the prize ball payout control, the CPU 60a refers to the value of the prize ball counter area updated by the switch input, prepares to send a command for the number of prize balls corresponding to each switch, and updates the RAM area for confirming the prize ball payout quantity. Then, the value of the prize ball counter area is updated by “−1”.

  Next, the CPU 60a sets an output signal and a gaming machine test signal to a hall computer (not shown) and outputs external information (step 211). The signal set here is a special symbol jackpot signal or the like.

  Next, the CPU 60a transmits a command obtained by each control process to a symbol control device, a lamp control device, a voice control device or the like not specifically shown (step 212).

  Next, the CPU 60a outputs the signal set in the special symbol control, the normal symbol control, and the external information output to the output port (step 213).

  Next, the CPU 60a performs a return process for each register (step 214) and permits an interrupt (step 215), and returns to the process before the system timer interrupt process.

  The power interruption interrupt processing is executed when a power interruption occurs as shown in FIG. That is, when a power interruption interrupt occurs, the CPU 60a of the main controller 60 saves each register (step 301), saves the interrupt state (step 302), and saves the stack pointer (step 303). ).

  Next, the CPU 60a performs a prize ball detection process (step 304). In the prize ball detection process, prize balls detected within the power interruption time are managed (RAM area storage).

  Next, the CPU 60a performs a RAM checksum calculation process (step 305). In this RAM checksum calculation processing, the CPU 60a performs calculation to check whether or not the value of the RAM area at the time of power supply interruption is normal when returning from the power supply interruption. This calculation method is to add the values of all the RAM areas except the RAM checksum storage area, and the CPU 60a stores the result value in the RAM checksum storage area.

  Next, the CPU 60a sets a power-off check flag (step 306). In setting the power-off check flag, the CPU 60a stores the power-off occurrence value in the RAM area used for checking whether or not the power-off is restored when the power is turned on. Then, the CPU 60a waits for the next interrupt process after the process of step 306.

[Switch input management processing]
Next, switch input management processing will be described with reference to FIG. The main controller 60 checks the input of each switch based on a switch signal (sensor signal) indicating that a pachinko ball has won a winning opening including the starting winning opening 4.

  That is, when the switch management process (step 205 in FIG. 5) is activated, the CPU 60a of the main control device 60 checks the special symbol related switch input (step 401), the normal symbol related switch input check (step 402), and the prize ball The related switch input check (step 403) is performed.

  When the input check of the special symbol related switch (step 401) starts, the CPU 60a starts the first type start port switch check process (step 411), passes the count switch (step 412), passes the specific area switch (step 413), etc. I do.

  Then, when the first type start port switch check process (step 411) is started, it is determined whether or not the start winning ball detection sensor 5 is “ON (with winning)” (step 421). As a result of the determination, if the start winning ball detection sensor 5 is “ON” (step 421; YES: achievement of a predetermined condition), the CPU 60a proceeds to the processing of step 422, and is not “ON” (step 421; NO). , The process returns to the next process of step 411.

  In the process of step 422, the CPU 60a adds “1” to the number of special symbol operation storages, and returns to the next process of step 411.

[Special symbol management process]
Next, the special symbol management process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main controller 60 executes the winning situation relationship already processed in the switch input management process in comparison with a predetermined condition described later.

  That is, when the special symbol control process (step 207 in FIG. 5) starts, the CPU 60a of the main controller 60 updates the special symbol related timer (step 501) and the special symbol game control process (step 207) through the special symbol management process. 502). The updating of the special symbol related timer refers to updating the time from the beginning to the end of the special symbol variation time, the special symbol determination time, the jackpot time, the special electric accessory release time, and the like. The special symbol game control process refers to the special symbol related timer monitoring process described in step 501.

  Next, when the special symbol game control process is started, the CPU 60a performs a special symbol operation memory number check process (step 511), a special symbol change time monitoring (step 512), a special symbol fixed time monitoring (step 513), and a jackpot start display. Time monitoring (step 514), special electric accessory release monitoring (step 515), special electric accessory closing monitoring (step 516), jackpot end display time monitoring (step 517), special symbol operation end monitoring (step 518), etc. And return to step 207 in FIG.

Then, the CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of working memories corresponding to the number of holdings described above is “0” in the special symbol working memory number check process (step 511) (step 521).
) If the number of working memories is “0” (step 521: YES), a customer waiting demonstration is displayed (step 522) and the process returns to step 511.

  On the other hand, if the number of operating memories is not “0” (step 521: NO), the special symbol variation start RAM is set (step 523). Next, the CPU 60a obtains a jackpot determining random number value and determines whether or not the acquired random number value is a predetermined jackpot random value (whether or not a mode display is established) (special symbol jackpot determination: step 524). . If the result of the determination is not a jackpot random value, the game is lost.

  Next, the CPU 60a determines shortening of the special symbol variation time (step 525), acquires a random value for variation pattern selection, selects a variation pattern (step 526), and selects a random number value for each three-digit stop symbol. Is acquired to determine the stop symbol of the special symbol (step 527).

  Next, the CPU 60a performs a special symbol storage area shift process for storing in the execution order changed by the order change control means of the present invention (step 528), and sets a special symbol variation time (step 529).

  Next, the CPU 60a determines whether or not the stock flag is set (step 530). If the stock flag is not set (step 530: NO), the process returns to step 511. On the other hand, if the stock flag is set (step 530: YES), the stock flag is cleared (step 531), and the processing from step 521 is repeated.

  Next, the special symbol storage area shift process (step 528) performed by the order change control means of the present invention will be described. That is, the CPU 60a determines whether or not a specific condition has been achieved (step 541). The specific condition referred to here is during a probability-changing game or during a time reduction. If the specific condition is achieved (step 541: YES), the CPU 60a next determines whether the random value is a big hit (step 542). On the other hand, if the specific condition has not been achieved (step 541: NO), the CPU 60a subtracts (-1) the number of special symbol operation memory (step 543) and returns to the processing of step 528.

  Next, in the determination of step 542, the CPU 60a proceeds to the processing of step 543 if it is not a random value that is a big hit (step 542: NO), and if it is a random value that is a big hit (step 542: YES), the next step It is determined whether or not a random number value is stored in the special symbol operation storage area (step 544).

  If a random number value is stored in the next special symbol operation storage area (step 544: YES), the CPU 60a will hit a special symbol operation storage area corresponding to a random number value that is not at least a big hit (a value that does not hold the mode display). (Step 545), “1” is set in the stock flag (step 546), and the process proceeds to the next process of step 528.

  On the other hand, if the random number value is not stored in the next special symbol operation storage area (step 544: NO), the CPU 60a subtracts (-1) and shifts the number of special symbol operation storage (step 547). Move on to the next process.

  In the process of step 545, the CPU 60a determines whether or not the reserved number is an upper limit (for example, 5) (step 551). The extracted random number value is stored in the corresponding random number value storage area (empty area) after (value not established) (step 552), and the process proceeds to the next process of step 545.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 551 that the reserved number is the upper limit (for example, 5) (step 551: YES), the random number value in which the value in the random number storage area corresponding to the fourth reserved value is a big hit. Is checked (step 553), and it is determined whether or not the random value is a big hit (step 554).

  If it is determined in step 554 that the random number is not a jackpot (step 554: NO), the CPU 60a stores the random number that is a jackpot in the random number storage area corresponding to the fourth hold (step 555). That is, as in “Case 1” shown in FIG. 11, the random number value corresponding to the reserved fourth random value storage area is stored. After the process of step 555, the CPU 60a proceeds to the next process of step 545.

  If it is a jackpot random number value in the determination of step 554 (step 554: YES), the CPU 60a checks whether the value in the random number storage area corresponding to the third reserved value is a random number value that is a jackpot (step 556), It is determined whether the random value is a big hit (step 557).

  If it is determined in step 557 that the random value is not a big hit (step 557: NO), the CPU 60a changes the value in the random value storage area corresponding to the fourth hold to the random value storage area corresponding to the third hold. Store (step 558), and store the random value that is a big hit in the random number storage area corresponding to the fourth hold (step 559). That is, as in “Case 2” shown in FIG. 11, the random number value corresponding to the fourth random number storage area for storage is stored, and three values stored in the fourth random number storage area are stored. Store in the random number storage area of the eye. After the process of step 555, the CPU 60a proceeds to the next process of step 545.

  If it is a jackpot random number value in the determination of step 557 (step 557: YES), the CPU 60a checks whether the value of the random number storage area corresponding to the second hold value is a random number value that is a jackpot (step 560). It is determined whether the random value is a big hit (step 561).

  If it is determined in step 561 that the random value is not a big hit (step 561: NO), the CPU 60a changes the value in the random value storage area corresponding to the third hold to the random value storage area corresponding to the second hold. Store (step 562), store the value of the random number storage area corresponding to the fourth hold, and store the value in the random value storage area corresponding to the third hold (step 563), and store the random value that is a big hit in the fourth hold (Step 564). That is, as in “Case 3” shown in FIG. 11, the random number value corresponding to the fourth random number storage area for storage is stored, and the values stored in the fourth random number storage area for storage are stored for three The value stored in the third random number storage area is stored, and the value stored in the third random number storage area on hold is stored in the second random number storage area on hold. After the process of step 555, the CPU 60a proceeds to the next process of step 545.

  If it is determined in step 561 that the value is a jackpot random value (step 561: YES), the CPU 60a checks whether the value in the random number storage area corresponding to the first reserved value is a random value that is a jackpot (step 565). It is determined whether or not the random value is a big hit (step 566).

If it is determined in step 566 that the random value is not a big hit (step 566: NO), the CPU 60a changes the value in the random value storage area corresponding to the second hold to the random value storage area corresponding to the first hold. Store (step 567), store the value of the random value storage area corresponding to the third hold, in the random value storage area corresponding to the second hold (step 568), and store the random value corresponding to the fourth hold The value of the area is stored in the random number storage area corresponding to the third hold (step 569), and the random value that is a big hit is stored in the random value storage area corresponding to the fourth hold (step 570). That is, as in “Case 4” shown in FIG. 11, the random number value corresponding to the fourth random number storage area for storage is stored, and three values stored in the fourth random number storage area are stored. The value stored in the second random number storage area, the value stored in the third random number storage area on hold, the value stored in the second random number storage area on hold, and the value stored in the second random number storage area on hold Is stored in the first random number storage area on hold. After the process of step 555, the CPU 60a proceeds to the next process of step 545.

  “Case 5” shown in FIG. 11 shows a case where random numbers corresponding to all the reserved numbers are big numbers, and in this case, the order change control means does not change the order before and after random number extraction. .

  According to this embodiment, the order change control means can store a random value that is a big hit under a predetermined condition in the start-up memory, and the random number value that is lost is continuously displayed using the symbol stop button 40 or the like. By executing in this way, the lost holding ball can be released (executed) at an early stage, so that it is possible to obtain a lottery chance while suppressing the consumption of game balls. In addition, when the winning is continuously performed at the time when the stock is finished, a large amount of value is given and it is possible to provide an ammunition game machine rich in gaming. In addition, advantageous conditions such as probability fluctuations can be utilized to the maximum, and the stock period ends at the end of the hold, so the game can be widened by adjusting the machines that are easy to hold and machines that are difficult to hold. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the order change control means executes the value indicating the establishment of the aspect display (for example, jackpot) that is in the specific gaming state after the value (for example, the loss) in which the aspect display is not satisfied. As described above, when the random number value is stored in the special symbol operation storage area as described above, the order change control means stores in the execution order changed. However, the present invention is limited to the storage in the execution order. Instead, when executed by the mode display executing means, the invention is included in the present invention as long as it is executed by changing the order regardless of the order determined by the determining means.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the specific gaming state is described as being in the probability variation. However, as another embodiment, the specific gaming state may be in the variation time shortening. The variation time shortening means a state in which the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol after the end of the specific jackpot is shortened from the normal time for a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times). And according to this other embodiment, by stocking random numbers that are big hits, it is possible to obtain lottery opportunities while suppressing the consumption of game balls, and to maximize advantageous conditions such as shortening the variation time. Can be used. In addition, since the stock period ends at the end of the hold, the game can be widened by adjusting the machines that are easy to hold and the machines that are difficult to hold.

  The bullet ball game machine of the present invention is composed of the above-described essential components, but it is established even when the components are specifically as follows. That is, the bullet ball game machine of the present invention includes a symbol variable display device that variably displays symbols, a determination unit that determines whether or not establishment of a predetermined mode display is confirmed by achievement of a predetermined condition, and the determination Storage means for sequentially storing, in a predetermined storage area, the presence or absence of establishment of the mode display for a predetermined number of times when the predetermined condition is achieved when the predetermined condition is achieved during variable display of the symbol according to the determination result of the means; When the mode display is established, the ball ball game machine is brought into a specific game state advantageous to the player, and the storage means is configured to be in the specific game state sequentially stored in the storage area. Rewriting means for storing values indicating establishment in a different order is provided.

Also, in the ball game machine of the present invention, the rewriting means stores a value indicating the establishment of the mode display in the specific gaming state sequentially stored in the storage area in place of the tail of the storage area. It is characterized by.
