BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a gaming machine having a symbol display unit that variably displays a plurality of symbols, and after the start operation of the variable display game and the jackpot is finished, the probability of winning the jackpot is changed to a high probability, The present invention relates to a game medium (game ball or the like) to be paid out before a big hit occurs.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A pachinko machine as a gaming machine is provided with a special symbol display having a plurality of symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3 capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols, and a game medium (game ball) is a symbol start opening. When a prize is won, a variable display game is started in which the symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3 start to fluctuate according to the winning signal (design variable display signal), and the symbols are sequentially stopped after a predetermined time. For example, when the combination of the fixed symbols is the same symbol, a special gaming state (bonus) that is advantageous to the player occurs.
In addition, when a jackpot with a predetermined symbol (for example, a specific symbol) is reached, after the jackpot is over, the probability of winning the jackpot is changed to a higher probability than the normal probability, and a gaming machine that is more advantageous to the player is there.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the variable display signal of the variable display game in the conventional gaming machine is generated by winning a winning device, it is desired to use another interesting signal.
In addition, even if the gaming machine has a high probability after the jackpot is over, the number of game media consumed by the jackpot is different. For this reason, a player who wins the jackpot at an early stage and a player who does not do so are different in the total number of winning prize balls, resulting in unfairness.
Therefore, if the probability of jackpot is changed to a high probability for a gaming machine, the probability of winning a certain winning opening is also set to a high probability, and as a result, until the next jackpot occurs, Although there is a type that stops the decrease, this type of gaming machine does not necessarily take into account the number of game media to be consumed, and therefore does not necessarily treat the player fairly.
Therefore, the present invention provides a gaming machine that solves the above problems.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The gaming machine according to claim 1 has a symbol display unit that can variably display a plurality of symbols provided in the symbol display device, and the symbols in the symbol display unit start changing, and the symbols are displayed after a predetermined time. If a specific symbol is prepared, the jackpot processing is performed.
Also, this gaming machine is provided with a holding area in which the game medium can flow down in the symbol display device, and in the holding area, a hitting member capable of hitting the game medium, a detection body, and a doll that can be raised and lowered are provided. When the doll is lowered, the holding area is closed.
Then, when the detection body detects a game medium in the holding area using the hitting ball member and the up and down doll, the variable display game is started by sequentially storing in the determination memory contributing to the variable display game.
Further, in the gaming machine according to claim 2, after the big hit, the inside of the holding area is closed using the hitting member and the doll that can be raised and lowered. And if the said detection body detects the game medium in the said holding | maintenance area, it will memorize | store sequentially in the determination memory which contributes to a variable display game, and a variable display game will be started.
Further, in the gaming machine according to claim 3, after the big hit, the total number of game media existing in the holding area is limited to a preset number, and the occurrence frequency of the variable display game is limited.
Further, the gaming machine according to claim 4 is changed to the normal variable display game state after the variable display game is executed for a preset time or after a preset number of times after the jackpot ends.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine 1 as a gaming machine, FIG. 2 is a back view of the gaming machine 1, and FIGS. 3A, 3A, 3B, and 3B are symbol display devices 10 They are a front view and a perspective view.
A ball lending machine 20 is installed on the side of the pachinko machine 1, and the ball lending machine 20 incorporates a card reader (not shown). The front panel 21 of the ball lending machine 20 is provided with a display lamp and a card insertion slot 22 when the operation of the ball lending machine is effective. On the other hand, the supply tray 12 attached to the front panel 11 of the pachinko machine is provided with operation buttons and the like of the ball lending machine 20, specifically, the card inserted into the card insertion slot 22. A display 13a for displaying a balance (frequency) and the like, a conversion button 13b for supplying a ball to a pachinko machine through the ball lending machine 20 by a player's operation, and a return button 13c for returning a card are provided.
[0006]
A storage tray 17 is disposed under the supply tray 12, and stores overflowing game media (game balls, prize balls) when the supply tray 12 is full. Further, the game medium supplied for each ball from the supply tray 12 is guided by the guide rail 6 by the operation of the handle 18 of the launching device, and fired to the game area 2.
[0007]
A symbol display device 10 is arranged almost at the center of the game area 2, and the symbol display device 10 is provided with a liquid crystal display symbol display L for performing a variable display game via a plurality of variable symbols. Yes, this symbol display L can be divided and displayed on the left symbol display portion L1, the middle symbol display portion L2, and the right symbol display portion L3, and fifteen types of symbols "0-9, AE" are changed in this order. indicate.
[0008]
Of these symbols “0-9, A-E”, five types “1, 3, 5, 7, A” are designated as specific symbols, and the other 10 types are designated as non-specific symbols. When a jackpot with a symbol occurs, after the jackpot is over, the probability of winning the jackpot is changed and maintained at a high probability (1/33). After that, the jackpot is set to be obtainable three times, and many prizes are given to the player. The ball (game medium) can be acquired.
[0009]
The symbol display device 10 is provided with a winning opening 30 at the center of the top, and a right winning opening 31a and a left winning opening 31b are arranged on the left and right sides thereof, and a detector for detecting a winning ball. (Not shown) is installed. The detector signal is determined in FIG. 9 (S82) described later.
At the entrances of the right winning opening 31a and the left winning opening 31b, open / close shutters 32a and 32b, which are opened in a normal variable display game, are installed, and the winning game medium is a guide path (not shown). ) To reach the holding area 33.
Further, in the normal variable display game, a doll 36 that moves up and down every predetermined time is installed on the front side of the holding area 33 (FIGS. 3A and 3B), and on the left and right sides thereof. The swingable hitting members 34a and 34b are arranged. In addition, a detection body (piezoelectric element or switch type, photoelectric type, etc.) 35 is disposed in the center of the holding area 33. When the game medium Y detects the game medium with the detection body 35, a variable display game is played. Since it starts, it exhibits a different taste from the past. Needless to say, the number of the detection bodies 35 is not limited to one.
[0010]
In the state where the doll 36 is lowered (FIGS. 3B and 3B '), the game medium Y is confined in the holding area 33 by the hitting members 34a and 34b and the doll 36. The number of times that the game medium is detected by the detecting body 35 via the hitting members 34a and 34b, that is, the number of times that the variable display game is started increases.
When the game medium is detected by the detection body 35, the determination memory Q (I) that contributes to the variable display game is sequentially stored, and a storage lamp corresponding to the number of unprocessed variable display games stored therein is stored. LR lights up to inform the player of the number of remaining variable display games.
[0011]
Also, the left and right sides of the symbol display device 10 are provided with normal symbol start gates 3a and 3b, and when the game medium passes, the symbol of the normal symbol display 7 attached to the big prize opening 8 described below starts to change. Then, it stops after a predetermined time has elapsed, and when the confirmed symbol matches a preset symbol, the ordinary electric accessory 4 is opened for a predetermined time, and a game medium (prize ball) can be obtained. Become.
In addition, the game area 2 is provided with other normal winning ports 5a, 5b and the like, and when winning, it becomes possible to acquire game media (prize balls).
[0012]
The outline of the backside of the gaming machine will be described briefly. A game ball tank 100 for storing game media is attached to the upper part of the back mechanism plate 101, and the game media are arranged in two rows along the alignment passages 102 (102a, 102b). Then, the ball enters the game ball discharge device 105 through the guideway 103 (103a, 103b).
In addition, a game board is fixed to the window 104 formed on the back mechanism plate 101, and special prize openings (for example, normal prize openings 5a and 5b) and a prize opening (for example, normal symbol start) attached to the game board are provided. The winning balls won in the gates 3a and 3b) are discharged one by one by the winning ball discharging device 110 through the collective bowl 110a, and the winning ball discharging device 110 receives the winning balls in the special winning opening. A signal B (13 prize balls) and a signal B (8 prize balls) are output to the game ball discharge device 105 for the winning opening.
Then, the game ball discharge device 105 pays out the supply tray 12 or the storage tray 17 via the ball-cutting rotating body 105a that discharges odd-numbered units and the ball-cutting rotating body 105b that discharges even-numbered units.
[0013]
Next, variable display game processing in the gaming machine having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to a control flow executed in interrupt processing or the like.
FIG. 4A is a control flow of the initialization process. When the power of the pachinko machine is turned on (or when it is necessary to initialize the variable display game) (S1), the jackpot which is advantageous to the player The probability of becoming a (special game state) is set to a low probability state (1/330), and a jackpot determination means (determination counter Hc (0 to 329 circulations)) and circulation counters M1 and M2 which are definite symbol determination means , M3, judgment memory Q (I) (index I = 1 to 4), jackpot occurrence flag Fs (Fs = 1 generates jackpot, Fs = 0 jackpot disappears), jackpot end flag Fe (finishes with Fe = 1) , Fe = 0, big hit), a big hit flag FF with a specific symbol (FF = 1, big hit, FF = 0 disappeared), high probability jackpot number Ik, etc. are initialized (S2).
[0014]
FIG. 4B performs processing of the determination counter Hc (0 to 329) and the circulation counters M1, M2, and M3 for selecting symbols to be confirmed and displayed on the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3 such as jackpots.
First, 1 is added to the determination counter Hc every reset time (predetermined time (2 ms)) (S20), and it is determined whether or not the value of the added determination counter Hc is 330 (S21). When the value of the determination counter Hc is 330, the value of the determination counter Hc is initialized (S22). By this processing, the value of the determination counter Hc becomes a circulation number from 0 to 329.
[0015]
1 is added to the circulation counter M1 every reset time (predetermined time (2 ms)) (S25), and it is determined whether or not the value of the circulation counter M1 is 15 (S26). When the value of the circulation counter M1 is 15, the circulation counter M1 is initialized and 1 is added to the circulation counter M2 (S27).
Next, it is determined whether or not the circulation counter M2 is 15 (S28). When the value of the circulation counter M2 is 15, the circulation counter M2 is initialized and 1 is added to the circulation counter M3 (S29). ).
Then, it is determined whether or not the circulation counter M3 is 15 (S30). When the value of the circulation counter M3 is 15, the circulation counter M3 is initialized (S31).
Thus, the circulation counters M1, M2, and M3 have a circulation number of 0 to 14, and correspond to the symbols “0 to 9, A to E”.
[0016]
The symbols selected by the circulation counters M1, M2, and M3 are displayed as follows.
(A) When a big hit is made, a symbol corresponding to the value of the circulation counter M1 is displayed on the left symbol display portion L1, the middle symbol display portion L2, and the right symbol display portion L3.
(B) At the time of reach, as the reach mode, the left symbol display portion L1 and the right symbol display portion L3 have the value of the circulation counter M1, and the middle symbol display portion L2 has the value of the circulation counter M2 (however, different from the circulation counter M1). The symbol corresponding to (value) is displayed.
(C) At the time of detachment, the left symbol display portion L1, the middle symbol display portion L2 and the right symbol display portion L3 are set to the values of the circulation counter M1, the circulation counter M2 (however, different values from the circulation counter M1), Display the corresponding symbol.
[0017]
FIG. 5 is for performing processing when a game ball is detected by the detection body 35 provided in the holding area 33, and detecting whether or not the detection has been detected by the detection body 35 (S5). The value of a determination counter Hc (0 to 329), which is a jackpot determination means to be described in detail, is read.
Then, it is determined whether or not the determination memory Q (1) is zero (S6). If the determination memory Q (1) is zero, the variable display game of winning balls is being executed or there is no winning ball. The value of index I is set to 1 (S7). That is, the addresses (1 to 4) for storing the determination memory Q described in detail in step 14 and subsequent steps are set.
[0018]
On the contrary, when the determination memory Q (1) is not zero, it is determined whether or not the value of the determination memory Q (2) is zero (S8), and when it is zero, the index I is set to 2 (S9). ). Subsequently, the determination memories Q (3) and Q (4) are sequentially determined and the value of the index I is set (S10 to S13).
When the determination memory Q (4) is not zero, since there is already a maximum storage (four), the winning ball is ignored, and the processing of this routine is terminated.
Further, the memory lamp LR provided in the game area 2 is lit corresponding to the number of the winning ball determination memory Q (I) contributing to the variable display game corresponding to a non-zero number, so that the player can display the remaining variable display. Know the number of games.
[0019]
Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the read determination counter Hc (0 to 329) is “7” (S14). When it is “7”, the result “1” is written in the determination memory Q (I) in order to generate a big hit (special game state) in the variable display game described later.
Next, when the value of the determination counter Hc (0 to 329) is “80 to 90”, in order to display the reach mode in the variable display game described later, the result “ 2 ”is written (S16, S17), otherwise“ 3 ”is written in the determination memory Q (I) to perform the removal process (S18).
With the above processing, the determination memory Q (I) (I = 1 to 4) stores “1” in the case of a big hit, “2” in the case of reach, or “3” in the case of a loss. The
[0020]
(First embodiment)
Next, with respect to the variable display game, assuming FIGS. 1 to 5, FIG. 6 which performs symbol variation processing, FIG. 7 which performs jackpot processing, FIG. 8 which performs processing after jackpot, jackpot occurs in a high probability state A description will be given with reference to a control flow showing the concept shown in FIG.
Since this variable display game is played in the variable display game once for each of the contents stored in the determination memory Q (I) (I = 1 to 4) (big hit, reach, miss), the symbols are changing ( It is determined whether or not Fb = 1), and if it is changing, the process proceeds to step 45 (S40). On the other hand, when it is not changing, it is determined whether or not the determination memory Q (1) is zero, that is, whether or not there is at least one symbol change start memory (a variable display game is performed) (S41), When there is no such memory, this processing routine is terminated.
[0021]
On the other hand, when there is a symbol variation start storage (the determination memory Q (1) is not zero), the value of the determination memory Q (1) is set to QQ and the value of the determination memory Q (I) is set to the determination memory Q. At the same time, the determination memory Q (I) having the maximum value of I is set to 0 (S42).
By this process, it is possible to contribute to the variable display game with the winning ball that has won the normal electric accessory (symbol starting port) 4 next.
[0022]
Then, a symbol variation start signal is generated, and the symbol variation of the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3 is simultaneously started by the signal, and the symbol flag Fb indicating that the symbol is varying is set to 1 (S43). The values of the circulation counters M1, M2, and M3 are read and the display symbols are selected (S44).
Next, in this variable display game, it is determined whether it is a big hit (QQ = 1) or reach (QQ = 2) (S45). If applicable, first, in order to perform reach action, left A symbol corresponding to the value of the circulation counter M1 is displayed on the symbol display portion L1 (S46). Next, the same symbol is displayed on the right symbol display portion L3 (S47), and the reach mode is displayed.
[0023]
Then, it is determined again whether or not it is a big hit (QQ = 1) (S50), and if it is a big hit, a reach action is displayed to display the symbol variation at a speed at which the player can recognize (S51).
In this case, since the jackpot is generated, the symbol corresponding to the value of the circulation counter M1 is fixedly displayed on the middle symbol display portion L2, and the symbol flag Fb indicating the end of symbol variation is set to 0 ( S52), the jackpot occurrence flag Fs is set to 1 (S53).
[0024]
It should be noted that, in the step 50, even when it is not a big hit, a reach action is performed as in the step 51 (S54).
However, in this case, since a big hit is not caused, a symbol different from the symbol display portion L1 (right symbol display portion L3) is confirmed and displayed, and the symbol processing is performed, and the symbol flag Fb is set to 0 (S55). .
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 45 that the game is off, a symbol corresponding to the value of the circulation counter M1 is displayed on the symbol display unit L1 in order to end the variable display game at an early stage (S56). Next, a symbol corresponding to the value of the circulation counter M3 (however, a value different from the circulation counter M1) is displayed on the right symbol display portion L3 (S57). Then, in the middle symbol display portion L2, a symbol corresponding to the value of the circulation counter M2 is displayed to perform the detachment process, and the symbol flag Fb is set to 0 (S58).
[0025]
Next, FIG. 7 is a control flow for performing processing when a jackpot occurs. First, it is determined whether or not the jackpot occurrence flag Fs is 1 (S60). When the jackpot occurs (Fs = 1), the jackpot processing is performed (S61). This jackpot process opens the big winning opening 8 and enables a large amount of prize balls (game media) to be paid out.
When the jackpot ends, the jackpot occurrence flag Fs is set to 0 and the jackpot end flag Fe is set to 1 (S61, S62). By setting the jackpot occurrence flag Fs to 0, this processing is not performed thereafter.
[0026]
FIG. 8 is a control flow for processing after the jackpot is completed. When the jackpot end flag Fe is not 1, this processing is not performed (S70). On the other hand, when Fe is 1, in order to count the number of jackpots in the high probability state, 1 is added to the jackpot number Ik (S71), and the jackpot end flag Fe is initialized (S72). By initializing the jackpot end flag Fe, the control flow for performing the process after the jackpot shown in FIG. 8 is not executed.
Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot number Ik is 4 or more (S73), and if it is 4 times or more, the probability of winning a jackpot is changed to a low probability (S76). The jackpot number Ik is allowed up to three times, and the number can be selected as appropriate. After the processing in step 76, the jackpot number is the same as when the power is turned on, and the jackpot number has a low probability.
[0027]
If the number of jackpots Ik is 3 or less in step 73, it is determined whether or not the jackpot determined symbol is a specific symbol (five types of symbols “1, 3, 5, 7, A”) (S74). ), If the symbol is a specific symbol, the winning conditions are changed, and in this example, the jackpot probability is changed to a high probability (1/33), the jackpot flag FF in the specific symbol is set to 1, and the timer Tm is set to 0. In addition, the replenishment game medium counter J is set to 0 (S75).
On the other hand, when the specific symbol is not a big hit, the process is terminated with a low probability (S76).
In this way, after the jackpot ends, the jackpot is not necessarily generated continuously because the jackpot probability is set to a high probability only in the case of winning with a specific symbol after the jackpot ends. It is not guaranteed. In addition, other conditions such as winning a prize include shortening the symbol change time of the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3 in the variable display game.
[0028]
Next, in FIG. 9, in a high probability state, the player performs compensation processing for avoiding the consumption of the game medium for the possibility that the next jackpot will occur.
Therefore, first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag FF for a specific symbol is 1 (S80), and if it is not 1, this processing is not performed.
However, when the big hit flag FF is 1, the doll 36 is lowered and the hitting ball members 34a and 34b are swung (see FIG. 3B) (S81). When the doll 36 is lowered, the game medium Y is confined in the holding area 33 by the ball striking members 34a and 34b. (See FIG. 5).
Therefore, after the jackpot, the variable display game is started by winning the game medium Y in the holding area 33 after the jackpot, so there is no consumption of the game medium and the player waits for the jackpot to occur.
[0029]
Then, it is detected whether or not the right winning opening 31a and the left winning opening 31b have been won (S82), and when detected, 1 is added to the supply game medium counter J (S83). When the supply game medium counter J becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined number Ja, the number of game media confined in the holding area 33 is limited by closing the open / close shutters 32a and 32b (S84, S85).
This restriction limits the frequency of occurrence of the variable display game. Even if many game media are in the holding area 33 and are detected by the detection body 35 by the hitting members 34a and 34b, the variable display game is variable once. Although it is obvious that there is no meaning in consideration of the processing time of the display game, it is limited. However, this limitation is not always necessary because the player may stop hitting the ball.
[0030]
Then, 1 is added to the timer Tm (S86), and it is determined whether or not the flag Fs indicating that the jackpot is generated is 1 (S87). When the jackpot is generated, the jackpot flag FF for a specific symbol is set to 0. Thus, the processing of this control flow is not performed (S88).
However, since it is disadvantageous for the game store to continue until the jackpot is generated, it is determined whether or not the timer Tm has exceeded the time limit Te (S89). The big hit flag FF is set to 0 (S88), and the open / close shutters 32a and 32b are opened and the hitting ball members 34a and 34b are stopped in an open state in order to enter the normal variable display game state. Further, the doll 36 is moved up and down every predetermined time.
[0031]
Note that the gaming machine of the present embodiment performs the processing as described above. However, when the processing is outlined again, after initialization is performed in FIG. 4 (A), FIG. 4 (B), FIG. When the process of FIG. 6 is performed and a jackpot occurs (Fs = 1 (FIG. 6, S53)), the jackpot process is performed in FIG.
When the jackpot processing is finished (Fe = 1), it is determined whether or not the jackpot with the specific symbol is determined in FIG. 8, and when the jackpot with the specific symbol (FF = 1), FIG. 9, FIG. 5, FIG. This process is performed until the jackpot occurs (Fs = 1 (FIG. 6, S53)) or until the time limit Te.
[0032]
Therefore, when the player changes to the high probability state, if the number of game media is won in the right winning slot 31a or the left winning slot 31b, the number Y of game media confined in the holding area 33 will be hit. When it is detected by the detection body 35 by swinging of the members 34a and 34b, a variable display game is started and a big hit can be generated.
Therefore, the number of game media that the player holds at the end of the jackpot will not change until the next jackpot occurs or until the time limit Te, so that unfairness among the players can be eliminated. At the same time, by providing the time limit Te, it is possible to consider the fairness of the game store and the player.
[0033]
In the first embodiment, the number of game media to be confined in the holding area 33 is limited. However, since it is not always necessary to limit the number of game media, the opening / closing shutters 32a and 32b may not be provided. If the variable display game is repeated until the jackpot of the game occurs, it is not necessary to provide the time limit Te.
[0034]
(Second Embodiment)
Unlike the first embodiment, the present embodiment counts the number of variable display games (the number of symbol fluctuations executed in FIG. 6 (S43)) and compensates by the number.
Therefore, the present embodiment is almost the same as the first embodiment, but different points in FIGS. 6, 8, and 9 are shown in FIGS. 10, 11, and 12, and are different only in different steps. It is explained with a number.
[0035]
First, the change place in the game flow order will be explained. In FIG. 11, when the jackpot is a big hit with a specific symbol after the end of the jackpot (S74), the jackpot probability is changed to a high probability as a condition for winning, etc. The number of times IA and the like is set to 0 (S75 ').
When the number Y of game media confined in the holding area 33 is detected by the detection body 35 by the swinging of the hitting ball members 34a and 34b and the variable display game is started, the number of times is shown in FIG. 10 (S43 ′). This is performed by adding 1 to the number of symbols IA. Then, in FIG. 12 (S89 ′), it is determined whether the symbol count IA is equal to or greater than the limit count Ie.
With the above processing, after the jackpot is over, the number of occurrences of the variable display game by the number Y of game media confined in the holding area 33 can be limited.
[0036]
In the first and second embodiments, the number of game media to be confined in the holding area 33 is limited. However, since it is not always necessary to limit the number of game media, the open / close shutters 32a and 32b may not be provided. If the variable display game is repeated until the next jackpot occurs, there is no need to provide a time limit Te.
In the first embodiment, the time limit is set in the first embodiment, and in the second embodiment, the limit is the number of variable display games. Needless to say.
[0037]
In the present invention, in addition to compensation when changing from low probability to high probability, even when changing from high probability to low probability, the compensation method of each of the embodiments is significant, Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to a gaming machine having a single symbol display unit, or other gaming machines (pachinko machines, slot machines, etc.) in addition to the gaming machine having the symbol display unit.
[0038]
【The invention's effect】
The gaming machine according to claim 1 is a new variable display game start condition because the variable display game is started when the detection body detects the game medium in the holding area.
Further, in the gaming machine of claim 2, since the variable display game is started when the game medium in the holding area is detected after the jackpot is ended, the game medium held by the player is hardly reduced. Injustice between them can be eliminated.
In addition, since the gaming machine of claim 3 is limited when the total number of game media existing in the holding area reaches a preset number after the jackpot, the frequency of occurrence of the variable display game is limited.
In addition, since the gaming machine according to claim 4 is changed to the normal variable display game state after the variable display game is executed for a preset time or after a preset number of times after the jackpot is finished, The store is fair.
