Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pachinko machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a pachinko machine, in order to generate a so-called big hit, it is required to establish a plurality of game conditions in a certain order.
For example, in a pachinko machine called Type 1, there is a model in which a big hit occurs when the same symbol is lined up at the end of the variation of the special symbol that is started by inserting a pachinko ball into the start opening provided in the game area Mainstream.
[0003]
In a pachinko machine called Type 2, a pachinko ball is awarded to one of the three starting openings provided below the game area, and is provided on both shoulders of a variable prize apparatus provided in the approximate center of the game area. A pair of opening and closing parts are opened for a short time. This time is a time (for example, 0.6 seconds) that allows almost one pachinko ball to win. Note that the number of times of opening is normally set to twice when entering the central start port and once when entering the left and right start ports. Many pachinko balls that have entered into the variable winning device have a big hit when they pass through a specific area formed in the variable winning device.
[0004]
In a pachinko machine called Type 3, when a pachinko ball is passed through the gate provided in the approximate center of the game area and the same symbol is lined up at the end of the normal symbol variation that is started, the normal electric accessory is activated. However, it is the mainstream that a big hit is generated when the pachinko ball passes through the right generation area formed in the ordinary electric accessory.
[0005]
The jackpot is a state in which the opening / closing part of the variable prize apparatus provided in the game area is operated within a predetermined upper limit value. For example, in the case of the first type, a horizontally long rectangular opening / closing part is provided in the lower part of the game area, and when this is opened, a so-called big prize opening is formed, and the ease of winning in the variable prize winning device jumps dramatically. Rises. The opened and closed opening / closing section is closed when a predetermined number (for example, nine) of pachinko balls win a big winning opening or when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses. This period from when the opening / closing part opens until it closes is called a round. When the pachinko ball passes the specific area formed in the big prize opening during the round, the operation of opening the opening and closing part and restarting the round is repeated until the upper limit (usually 16 rounds). ing.
[0006]
In addition, the second kind of big hit is opened and closed many times during the round, although the opening time of the pair of opening and closing portions described above does not change. In one round, when the opening / closing part is opened a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times), a predetermined number (for example, 10) is won in the variable winning device, or a pachinko ball passes through a specific area. finish. The operation of restarting the round when the pachinko ball passes the specific area during this round is repeated up to the upper limit (usually 15 rounds). There is also a model that performs lottery of the upper limit when a big hit occurs.
[0007]
The third type big hit is similar to the first type big hit, except that a third type starting port corresponding to the first type specific area is provided outside the big winning port. The third type starting port becomes effective when a pachinko ball enters the right generation area, and when the pachinko ball enters the third type starting port, the opening / closing part is opened and a round starts. One round is made so that a predetermined number (for example, 10) is won or it ends when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses (the opening and closing unit is closed). Thereafter, the operation of starting a round each time a pachinko ball enters the third type starting port is repeated up to the upper limit (usually 16 times). It should be noted that at most one pachinko ball enters the type 3 starting port in the longest round time (for example, 30 seconds).
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, although there are various ways of generating the big hit depending on the type of the pachinko machine, there is only one way in one model. For this reason, there is a problem that the game becomes monotonous and the player gets bored.
[0009]
In many of the first types, a plurality of special symbol arrays that are big hits are prepared (for example, when “333”, “555”, or “777” is displayed, the opening / closing part is opened), Depending on these symbols, there are models that are given special benefits such as increasing the jackpot probability after the jackpot is over (similar ingenuity has also been made with respect to ordinary symbols in Type 3). There is something). However, since it is not possible to play a game aiming at a symbol to be displayed, there is still only one way to generate a big hit.
[0010]
This invention is made | formed in view of the subject which concerns, The pachinko machine of Claim 1 provides the pachinko machine which a player is hard to get tired of.
The object of the present invention described in claim 2 is to prevent an increase in euphoria.

[0018]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The pachinko machine according to claim 1 has a plurality of methods for generating a big hit. More specifically, it has at least two jackpot generating means for generating a jackpot when a plurality of predetermined gaming conditions are established in a predetermined order (hereinafter simply referred to as “conditions / procedures are established”). Yes.
[0019]
As specific conditions / procedures, the first big hit generating means generates a big hit when a pachinko ball is detected by the first starting means and a predetermined symbol arrangement is displayed on the special symbol display device.
Here, the first starting means is to display a plurality of symbols variably over a predetermined time on a special symbol display device when a pachinko ball is detected. In other words, the conditions / procedures related to the first jackpot generating means are close to the current first type jackpot conditions / procedures (same in some aspects).
[0020]
On the other hand, the second big hit generating means generates a big hit when a pachinko ball enters the entrance and the specific area detecting means detects the pachinko ball.
Here, the entrance is a part where the pachinko ball directly enters from the game area, and only the pachinko ball that has entered here can pass through the specific area. The specific area detecting means detects this passage.
[0021]
  According to such a pachinko machine according to claim 1, the player selects at least a condition / procedure for generating a big hit among the conditions / procedures related to the first big hit generating means and the conditions / procedures related to the second big hit generating means. You can choose from. Therefore, if you get bored with one condition / procedure, you can try to generate a big hit with the other condition / procedure, and if you get bored with it, you should try again to generate a big hit with the one condition / procedure. . Further, when there is a third jackpot generating means, it is of course possible to play a game according to the conditions / procedures related to the jackpot generating means. In any case, according to the present invention of claim 1, since the game does not become monotonous, it is difficult for the player to get bored.
  Moreover, the present invention described in claim 1 is provided with a distribution means for distributing the pachinko balls that have entered the entrance into one of the specific region and the region other than the specific region.
  If it carries out like this, the conditions and procedure which concern on a 2nd big hit generation | occurrence | production means will put the pachinko ball in a diving mouth, the pachinko ball will be distributed to the specific area side by the distribution means, and will pass through a specific area.
  By doing so, the difference between the condition / procedure related to the second big hit generating means and the condition / procedure related to the first big hit means becomes clearer.
  Therefore, the pachinko machine according to claim 1 is a pachinko machine that makes the player less likely to get bored.
  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the pachinko balls distributed to the side other than the specific area by the distributing means are guided to the second starting means.
  Here, the second starter means that a special symbol display device displays a plurality of symbols variably over a predetermined time when a pachinko ball is detected, and is not particularly different from the first starter. Moreover, you may make it common with a 1st starting means. In this case, as a route for the pachinko ball to enter the first starting means, there are a route to enter directly from the game area and a route to enter through the entrance and the distribution means.
  The first big hit generating means generates a big hit even when a pachinko ball is detected by the second starting means and a predetermined symbol arrangement is displayed on the special symbol display device.
  In this way, even if the pachinko balls are not distributed to the specific area side in the middle of the condition / procedure related to the second big hit generating means, if the second starting means detects it, the special symbol becomes a predetermined arrangement. The player can have a new interest that a big hit may occur.
  Further, this means that a big hit occurrence related to the first big hit generating means can occur suddenly when trying to establish the condition / procedure related to the second big hit generating means. Therefore, it may be a change of mood for the player or an opportunity to change to a game that is applied to the first big hit generating means.
[0022]
  In addition, you may provide the variable prize apparatus provided with the opening-closing part opened and closed in the case of a big hit according to the number of big hit generating means. Also described laterClaim 4As described above, only one may be provided and shared by a plurality of jackpot generating means.
  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the next big hit cannot be generated during the big hit. This will not create a big hit when conditions / procedures that generate a big hit are establishedUhIn the first place, conditions and procedures are not metToIs achieved.
[0023]
On the other hand, if a new jackpot is generated even if the conditions / procedures are satisfied even during the big hit, the time of the big hit operation becomes unreasonably long, and there is a possibility that the joyfulness of the pachinko machine will be increased. If it is made like Claim 2, this can be prevented.
[0025]
In addition,There are various possible configurations for the distribution means.Claim 3It is this invention as described in.
[0026]
  IeClaim 3The pachinko machine described in the above is provided with a guide symbol display device, and when a pachinko ball enters the diving port, the guide symbol starting means causes the guide symbol display device to display a plurality of symbols in a variable manner over a predetermined time, The distribution control means distributes the pachinko balls to a specific area or other parts according to the design when the variable display is finished.
[0027]
  In this way, the player may have a new interest in which symbols are displayed on the guidance symbol display device.it can.
[0031]
  Claim 4The pachinko machine described in 1 is one in which a variable winning device is provided. On the other hand, for example, if the variable winning device whose opening / closing portion is opened and closed by the first big hit generating means and the variable winning device whose opening and closing portion is opened / closed by the second big hit generating means are different, both are placed in the game area. Space for providing is required. Therefore, it is difficult to provide other accessories (for example, the first starting means, the entrance, and the special symbol display device). Further, in the case where the third jackpot generating means is present, it is further difficult to provide a unique variable winning device corresponding to this. However, if the variable winning device is downsized, there is a high possibility that the power of the game and the ease of winning the variable winning device will decrease.
[0032]
  This point,Claim 4In the pachinko machine described in (1), since there is one variable winning device, a big hit generated by any of the big hit generating means opens and closes the opening / closing part of the variable winning device. As a result, the installation space of the game area is not compressed. In other words, since there is no need to downsize the variable winning device, there is no fear that the power of the game or the ease of winning the variable winning device will be reduced.
[0033]
  Claim 5In the present invention described in the above, the big hits generated by the plurality of big hit generating means are all in the same mode.
  On the other hand, if the big hits generated by two two big hit generating means are different from each other, only the advantageous one of the two becomes the target of the game, and only the conditions / procedures for generating the big hit are performed. There is a possibility that it will be. In this case, the meaning of providing a plurality of jackpot generation conditions is lost.
[0034]
  This point,Claim 5In the pachinko machine described in 1), the meaning of providing a plurality of conditions for generating a big hit is not lost.
[0035]
【Example】
Hereinafter, in order to further clarify the embodiment of the present invention, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, FIG. 1 is a front view showing a game area 4 and its periphery of a pachinko machine 2 which is an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, in the pachinko machine 2, a special symbol display device 6 that displays various images is disposed at the upper center of the game area 4. A special electric accessory 8 is disposed at the lower part of the game area 4, and a big winning opening 11 is formed by opening the opening / closing plate 10 provided in the special electric accessory 8, which is a big hit. Here, the special electric accessory 8 corresponds to the variable winning device of the present invention, and the opening / closing plate 10 corresponds to the opening / closing portion.
[0036]
The opening / closing plate 10 is opened when a condition such that the arrangement of the special symbols displayed on the liquid crystal screen 12 of the special symbol display device 6 becomes a flat eye is satisfied. Three special symbols are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction, and the pachinko machine 2 has a total of 12 types of numbers 1-12. In order to change the symbol of the special symbol display device 6, a pachinko ball is awarded to the first start port 14 provided below the special symbol display device 6 (hereinafter referred to as a start prize). Then, the symbol is changed and stopped after a predetermined time. If a start prize is generated during symbol variation or big hit, this is stored up to four times, and symbol variation is performed when symbol variation or big hit is completed. The number of memories is displayed by lighting the same number of four LEDs 15 provided on the upper part of the liquid crystal screen 12.
[0037]
Below the first starting port 14 is a gate 16, and when a pachinko ball passes through the gate 16, the normal symbol display device 18 provided at the upper part of the special symbol display device 6 starts to display the variation of the normal symbol. . There are six types of normal symbols “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, and “8”, and these are displayed one after another at high speed. After this display is repeated for a predetermined time, one of the six types is displayed and stopped. If this number is “7”, the protrusions 20a, 20b provided on the first start port 14 open to the left and right, making it easier to win the first start port 14. In addition, the accessory 22 provided with the 1st starting port 14 and protrusion 20a, 20b is called a normal electric accessory.
[0038]
A distribution device 24 is provided on the left side of the ordinary electric accessory 22. When a pachinko ball enters a diving port 26 provided in the upper part of the sorting device 24, the pachinko ball is temporarily held in the ball holding unit 28 and detected by the guiding symbol operation switch 30. Then, the variation display of the guidance symbol is started in the guidance symbol display device 32 provided in the upper part of the special symbol display device 6. There are six types of guidance symbols “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, and “8”, and these are displayed one after another at high speed. After this display is repeated for a predetermined time, one of the six types is displayed and stopped. If this number is “7”, the ball retaining portion 28 is released, and the rotating body 34 rotates once counterclockwise. When the ball retaining portion 28 is released, the pachinko ball enters the recess 36 of the rotating body 34, and the rotating body 34 is rotated counterclockwise, whereby the pachinko ball is guided to the big prize opening operating port 38. When a pachinko ball enters the big prize opening operation port 38, a big hit is made. In addition, in this figure, although the recessed part 36 has faced the downward direction, the normal (including the state by which the ball | bowl reservation part 28 was cancelled | released) is facing upwards.
[0039]
That is, in the pachinko machine 2, there are two methods for generating a big hit. That is, the arrangement of the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal screen 12 is set to a sloppy pattern (hereinafter referred to as “method A”), and the pachinko ball is inserted into the big prize opening operating port 38 (hereinafter referred to as “method B”). It is. The special winning opening operating port 38 corresponds to a specific area of the present invention.
[0040]
On the other hand, if the guiding symbol is other than “7”, the ball retaining portion 28 is released, and the rotating body 34 makes one clockwise rotation. Then, the pachinko ball enters the recess 36 of the rotating body 34 and wins the second starting port 40, and is detected by the special symbol operation switch 42 in the inside thereof, and the special symbol variation display is started. As a result of this variable display, if the special symbol becomes double-eyed, a big hit occurs. The special symbol operation switch 42 corresponds to the second starting means of the present invention.
[0041]
Here, the mode of jackpot in the pachinko machine 2 will be described. The opened opening / closing plate 10 is closed when either 30 seconds have passed since it was opened, or when the number of pachinko balls that have entered the special winning opening 11 reaches nine (referred to as closing conditions). (Ie one round ends). Note that the number of pachinko balls that have entered the special winning opening 11 is counted by a special winning opening detection switch (not shown).
[0042]
The closed opening / closing plate 10 is opened again to start a new round. Thereafter, if the operation of closing the round when the closing condition is satisfied and starting a new round is repeated up to 16 rounds, the big hit ends.
The control device 50 of the pachinko machine 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The control device 50 includes a special symbol operation switch 42, a special symbol operation switch 52 provided in the ordinary electric accessory 22, a guidance symbol operation switch 30, and a special prize opening operation switch provided in the back of the special prize opening operation port 38. 54, an input circuit 60 for inputting each detection signal from the above-described special winning opening detection switch 56, a gate passage detection switch 58 for detecting that a pachinko ball has passed through the gate 16, and the like, and obtained through the input circuit 60. A CPU 62 that executes a control program for controlling the special symbol display device 6, the special electric accessory 8, and the like based on each detection signal, a ROM 64 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 62, and data processed by the CPU 62 A RAM 66 having a backup function capable of storing the stored contents even when the power is turned off, and a CPU 2 to the special symbol display device 6, the LED 15, the special electric accessory 8, the guidance symbol display device 32, the rotating body 34, the solenoid 71 for driving the protrusions 20a and 20b, the normal symbol display device 20, etc. Each includes an output circuit 72 that outputs a drive signal, and a bus 74 that connects these components. In addition to those shown in this figure, the output circuit 72 is connected to various lighting devices not shown in FIG. The special symbol operation switch 52 corresponds to the first starting means of the present invention, and the special prize opening operation switch 54 corresponds to the specific area detecting means of the present invention.
[0043]
FIG. 3 shows an outline of processing executed by the CPU 62 regarding the method A. This process corresponds to the first big hit generating means of the present invention, and is activated as an interrupt signal that a pachinko ball has been detected in the special symbol operation switch 42 or 52 (however, during the big hit operation, the special symbol changes) Even during detection of the interruption signal during the fluctuation of the guide symbol and during the operation of the rotating body 34, the processing after S120 is not performed. For convenience of explanation, in this figure, the pachinko balls are illustrated from the part where they are detected. When this process is started, first, in step (hereinafter simply referred to as S) 110, the process waits for the special symbol operation switch 42 or 52 to be turned on. It should be noted that the special symbol operation switches 42 and 52 are indicated as a special symbol operation port SW in this drawing. When the pachinko ball enters, the special symbol is changed in S120. When the variable display is stopped, it is determined in S130 whether or not the special symbol has become a double eye, that is, whether or not to make a big hit. If the stopped symbol is not a doublet, this process ends.
[0044]
If it is a doublet, the process proceeds to S140, a big hit operation (described later) is performed, and this process ends.
FIG. 4 shows an outline of processing executed by the CPU 62 with respect to the method B. This process corresponds to the second jackpot generating means of the present invention, and is activated as an interrupt signal that a pachinko ball is detected by the guiding symbol operation switch 30 (however, during the jackpot operation and during the fluctuation of the special symbol) When this interrupt signal is detected, the processing after S220 is not performed). For the same reason as described with reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 also starts from the portion where the pachinko ball is detected by the induction symbol operation switch 30. When this process is started, first, in S210, the system waits for the guidance symbol operation switch 30 to be turned on (that is, a pachinko ball enters the entry port 26). In addition, the induction symbol operation switch 30 is described as induction SW in this drawing. When the pachinko ball enters, the process as the guidance symbol starting means of the present invention for changing the guidance symbol is performed (S220). That is, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, and “8” are displayed one after another at high speed on the guidance symbol display device 32. When the variable display is stopped, it is determined in S230 whether or not the guidance symbol is hit, that is, whether or not “7” is displayed. If it is not “7”, the process proceeds to S240, the rotating body 34 is rotated clockwise, and this process is terminated. At this time, the special symbol operation switch 42 is turned ON, and the process of FIG. 3 is started. The processing of S230 to S250 corresponds to the distribution control means of the present invention.
[0045]
On the other hand, if the guide symbol displayed on the guide symbol display device 32 is “7”, the process proceeds to S250, and the rotating body is rotated once to the left. Then, when the big prize opening operating port switch is turned on (S260), the process proceeds to S270 to perform a big hit operation and this processing is finished. Note that this process is started when the pachinko ball enters the entrance 26 during the big hit or during the change of the special symbol, after the display of the change of the big hit or the special symbol is completed. Even if the LED 15 is lit at the end of these times, the special symbol is not changed, and the change of the guide symbol is given priority. This is in order to show the player first whether or not the guidance symbol has a high probability of winning. In addition, as a result of the fluctuation of the guide symbol, when a guide symbol other than “7” is displayed, the rotating body 34 is rotated clockwise and a pachinko ball enters the second starting port 40. Is displayed after the memory of the start winning prize that has been put on hold immediately before is displayed.
[0046]
An outline of the jackpot operation executed by the CPU 62 is shown in the flowchart of FIG. In the big hit operation, first, the opening / closing plate 10 is opened in S410 to form the big winning opening 11. In subsequent S420, it is determined whether or not the current round is the final round (that is, the 16th round in the jackpot). If it is not the final round, the process proceeds to S430, where a specified number count (in this case, the large winning opening detection switch 56 detects nine pachinko balls) or a specified time (here, 30 seconds) has elapsed (that is, closed). Wait until the condition is satisfied. Then, in S440, the special winning opening 11 is closed and the process proceeds to the next round. Specifically, the processing from S410 is repeated.
[0047]
On the other hand, if it is determined in S420 that the current round is the final round, the process proceeds to S450, waits for the closing condition to be satisfied, and closes the special winning opening 11 (S480), thereby ending this process, that is, End the jackpot.
With the above processing, the opening / closing plate 10 opened at the big hit is once closed when the closing condition is satisfied, and then opened, and the opening / closing plate 10 is opened 16 times at one big hit.
[0048]
According to the pachinko machine 2 configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2 and executing the processes shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, there are two types of jackpot generation methods A and B. When the player is bored with the other generation method B, the other generation method B is performed, and when the generation method B is bored, the generation method A is performed (or vice versa). Therefore, the monotony that has been a problem in conventional pachinko machines is eliminated.
[0049]
In addition, the method A uses a special symbol, and the method B causes the big prize opening operation switch 54 to detect the big hits, which are different from each other.
Also, if the pachinko ball simply enters the entrance 26, it will not be a big hit, but will be a big hit only when a lottery is performed by the guiding symbol display device 32 and this is a win ("7" is displayed), You can also have an interest in guiding symbols.
[0050]
Although it is possible to make the big hits generated by Method A and the big hits generated by Method B different from each other, in this way, only the method of generating the big hit of the player's preference is performed. There is a possibility that the meaning of preparing the two types of methods A and B is lost. In this regard, the pachinko machine 2 has the same big hits generated by the methods A and B, so that the meaning of preparing the methods A and B is not lost. In addition, when changing the big hits, it is possible to make the special electric actors 8 different from each other. However, since the space of the game area 4 is limited in this way, each special electric accessory 8 becomes small, and the game The power of will be reduced. In this regard, in the pachinko machine 2, since there is one special electric accessory 8, the special electric accessory 8 can be enlarged, and the force of the game is not impaired.
[0051]
In addition, during the big hit, a new big hit is prevented from being generated by prohibiting an interrupt for starting each processing by either method A or B. For this reason, the time of the big hit operation is not unduly lengthened, and it is possible to prevent the gambling performance of the pachinko machine 2 from increasing.
[0052]
Further, when a symbol other than “7” is displayed on the guidance symbol display device 32, the pachinko ball enters the second starting port 40 so that the special symbol fluctuates, so that the guidance symbol is “7”. Even without this, it is possible to make the player have a new interest that “a big hit may occur by Method A”. This also means that when a game is played by Method B, a game by Method A suddenly occurs, which is a good mood change for the player, or an opportunity to change to a game of Method A It becomes.
[0053]
As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention has been demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this Example at all, and if the gist of this invention is satisfy | filled, it can be implemented in various aspects. Not too long.
For example, a continuation area may be provided in the special winning opening 11 and the next round may be generated only when the continuation area is passed. The passage of the continuation area may be merely a condition for the next round, but may be one of the closing conditions in addition to this. In this way, it is not possible to advance to the next round unless the continuation area is passed, but if the continuation area is passed at an early point in time, a very thrilling game can be played in which the round ends. However, since it is cruel to the player that the pachinko ball that has entered the grand prize winning opening 11 for the first time passes through the continuation area, in this case, a stopping device is provided in the big winning opening 11 so as not to pass through the continuation area early. Good. The big hit operation in this case is shown in the flowchart of FIG.
[0054]
In the big hit operation, first, in S510, the opening / closing plate 10 is opened to form a big winning opening. In step S520, the stopping device is activated. The stopping device is a semi-circular bowl-shaped member that, when activated, protrudes into the big prize opening and a part of the pachinko ball is stopped here. In addition, the stopping device prevents the pachinko ball from passing through the continuation region (however, depending on the trajectory, the pachinko ball may pass through the continuation region even when the stopping device is operated). Then, in S530, it is determined whether or not the current round is the final round (that is, the 16th round in this jackpot). If it is the final round, the process proceeds to S540 and waits for a specified number of counts (here, the big winning opening detection switch 56 detects nine pachinko balls) or for a specified time (30 seconds here) to elapse. Release the stopping device. In step S550, the special winning opening is closed and the process is terminated.
[0055]
On the other hand, if it is determined in S530 that the current round is not the final round, it waits for a specified number count (same as above) or a specified time (same as above) to elapse in S560, and the stopping device is released. To do. When the stopping device is released, most of the pachinko balls stopped here are guided to the continuation area. Then, in S570, it is determined whether the pachinko ball has passed through the continuation area. This is detected by a continuation area detection switch (denoted as VSW in the figure) provided in the continuation area. If it has been detected, the special winning opening 11 is closed in S580 and the next round is entered. If not detected, the process proceeds to S550 to close the special winning opening 11 and the present process is terminated. Note that the next round is realized by repeating the above processing from S510 again.
[0056]
According to the above processing, the big hit becomes a mode close to the current type 2 big hit. If the stopping device is eliminated from this mode, and the passage of the continuation area is excluded from the closing condition, and only the next round is started, the mode is close to the current type 1 big hit.
[0057]
Further, in the pachinko machine 2, the pachinko balls that have entered the entrance 26 are sorted by the sorting device 24, but other means, for example, a so-called croon may be used. The croon is a shallow slotted member with a plurality of holes in the bottom. If you win in any one of these holes, you will win. This eliminates the need for the guiding symbol display device 32 and the rotating body 34, thereby simplifying the configuration and processing. Further, since the big hit generation by the method B is performed purely, the difference from the method A becomes more prominent and less likely to get tired.
[0058]
Further, the jackpot generated by the method A and the jackpot generated by the method B may be changed. For example, the number of jackpot rounds generated by Method A may be less than the number of jackpot rounds generated by Method B. In this case, there is a possibility that the game by the method A may be disliked. In such a case, it is only necessary to balance with the method B by making the hit by the method A easy to occur. Specifically, it is possible to increase the probability of hitting a special symbol.
[0059]
Further, the pachinko machine 2 may have a so-called small hit state. Small hit means opening the opening / closing plate 10 a few times (usually once) for several seconds. As a procedure for generating a small hit, it is conceivable that in Method A, a small hit is made when a predetermined special symbol arrangement (in this case, other than the doublet) is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 12. In the method B, if a specific guiding symbol other than 7 is displayed on the guiding symbol display device 32, a small hit may be made. However, only one of the methods A and B may generate the small hit.
