Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a special jackpot that is advantageous to a player is generated when a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed by a special symbol display means, and a large number of prize balls can be obtained.

  Usually, for example, in a pachinko gaming machine called Type 1, the game board is provided with a display means composed of a liquid crystal screen, various winning holes, etc., and a game ball is placed at the starting hole which is one of the winning holes. When winning, the special symbol display means variably displays the symbols, and when all of them are stopped and displayed together, it will be a “hit state” advantageous to the player, and a large number of game balls can be obtained as prize balls It is configured.

  Also, in many pachinko gaming machines, when the symbols that are stopped and displayed on the special symbol display means are specific symbols that are set in advance, the probability of the next jackpot occurrence is increased, and the player is given benefits. It has come to be given. In such a pachinko gaming machine, there are two types of jackpots: a normal jackpot (a normal probability gaming state in which the jackpot is generated with a normal probability) and a specific jackpot (a high probability gaming state in which the jackpot is generated with a high probability). One of the types is selectively set, so that the game is improved.

  Also, in addition to the normal probability gaming state and the high probability gaming state, the total winning time of the big prize opening is set to be short so that the number of balls played is suppressed to a very small extent (for example, about 2 rounds compared to the normal having about 15 rounds) Have been proposed that are selectively set. Recently, there have been proposed pachinko machines (see, for example, Patent Document 1) in which two start ports are provided, one of which is a conventional start port and the other is an electric tulip. There is provided special symbol display means for stopping and displaying the first special symbol when the game ball is won and stopping and displaying the second special symbol when the game ball is won on the other electric tulip.

  In the pachinko gaming machine as described above, it is usually more advantageous for the player to win the other electric tulip (second starting port) than to win one starting port (first starting port). It is set to get. For example, when winning an electric tulip in a high probability gaming state, the probability of the next short win is set to be very low (or not short), while also in the high probability gaming state, When a winning is made at the first start opening, a game with a relatively high probability that the next game state will be short hit is provided.

  However, in the above prior art, it is impossible to determine whether the symbol stopped and displayed by the special symbol display means is the first special symbol or the second special symbol. It is not possible to grasp whether it has occurred or whether a big hit state has occurred due to a game ball winning at the second starting port. However, as described above, the case where a game ball is won at the second starting port and a jackpot state is generated is more advantageous than the case where a game ball is won at the first starting port and a jackpot state is generated. For this reason, there is a high interest for the player as to which one was a big hit.

  Therefore, it is notified at this time whether the symbol variation display in the symbol variation display is triggered by the winning of the game ball at the first starting port or the winning of the game ball at the second starting port. By configuring in this way, it is conceivable to make it possible to grasp a matter that the player is highly interested in. However, in that case, since the notification is performed every time the symbol is displayed in a variable manner, there is a possibility that notification that is not of interest to the player is frequently performed and other effects are hindered.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can notify which start point a game ball has won by changing the design and prevent other effects. It is in providing the game machine which can be suppressed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
The gaming machine according to the present embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine, and has a front frame 3 to which a glass plate 2 is attached, as shown in FIG. 4 is configured to be visible. The game board 4 is formed with various accessories, a plurality of nails, a windmill, and the like. Further, the game board 4 is formed with an electric tulip 7 (opening / closing means) having a first start port 6, a second start port 7a (see FIG. 3), a prize winning port 8, a gate 9, and the like. A handle 14 is provided at the lower right corner of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and is configured to launch a game ball in the tray 13 to the game board 4 by rotating the handle 14.

  The first start port 6 and the electric tulip 7 are arranged side by side above and below the symbol display means 5 (specifically, a liquid crystal image display) on the game board 4, and each is independently Game balls can be won. Among these, the first start port 6 is opened upward to always allow the game ball to be won, and when the game ball wins, the winning signal is transmitted to the main control board 17 (see FIG. 2). However, it is configured to be able to acquire numerical data (specifically, a jackpot random number value and an effect random number value) that can be determined whether or not the jackpot.

  On the other hand, the second starting port 7a formed in the electric tulip 7 is called a variable winning port, and as shown in FIG. 3, the electric tulip 7 as an opening / closing means is in a closed state in which the winning of the game ball is restricted. By operating from the open state (see (b) in the figure) that allows the game ball to be won (see (b)), the game ball can be won. Thus, when the electric tulip 7 is in the open state and the game ball wins, the second start port 7a transmits a winning signal to the main control board 17 (see FIG. 2) and is a numerical value that can determine whether or not it is a big hit. Data (specifically, a jackpot random value and a rendering random value) are acquired.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a first special symbol display means 10 and a second special symbol display means 11 made of, for example, 7 segments are formed. The first special symbol display means 10 variably displays the special symbol (first special symbol) when a game ball wins at the first starting port 6, and the random number value (for big hits) acquired at the time of winning the first starting port 6 The special symbol corresponding to the random number) is stopped and displayed. The second special symbol display means 11 is configured to display the special symbol when the game ball wins the second starting port 7a by opening the electric tulip 7. (Second special symbol) is displayed in a variable manner, and the special symbol corresponding to the random value (big random number for jackpot) acquired at the time of winning the second starting port 7a is stopped and displayed.

  In other words, the winning for the first starting port 6 and the winning for the second starting port 7a of the electric tulip 7 are controlled independently of each other. When winning the first starting port 6, the first special symbol display means 10 is used. The variation display of the first special symbol is started, and when the electric tulip 7 wins the second start port 7a, the variation display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display means 11 is started.

  The gate 9 is configured to allow game balls to pass therethrough, and unlike other winning holes, no prize balls are paid out by passing. Further, a normal symbol display means 12 is disposed in the vicinity of the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol display means 11. When the game ball passes through the gate 9, the normal symbol display means 12 displays the normal symbol in a variable manner (in this embodiment, the circle mark and the cross mark are alternately lit), and a predetermined normal symbol (this embodiment). When a circle is displayed in a stopped state, it becomes a “win” and the electric tulip 7 is opened for a predetermined time.

  In the present embodiment, it is set so that the player can be more advantageous when winning the electric tulip 7 (second starting port 7a) than when winning the first starting port 6. For example, in the high probability gaming state, when winning the second starting port 7a of the electric tulip 7, the probability of winning short is set very low (or not short winning), while the high probability gaming state is also the same. Even so, when the first starting port 6 is won, the probability that the gaming state is short hit is set to be relatively high.

  Here, “short win” means that the right to execute the short win game was acquired in the lottery in the big hit state performed on condition that the game ball entered the first start port 6 or the second start port 7a. A game state executed in a case. In such a “short win game state”, the round game in which the big winning opening 8 is opened is performed two times less than the “long win”, but in each round game, the big winning opening 8 is once. Only the opening time is set to 0.1 seconds.

  On the other hand, “long winning” means that a long winning game is obtained in a jackpot lottery performed on condition that a game ball has entered the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7a. A game state executed in a case. In such a “long game state”, the round game in which the grand prize opening 8 is opened is performed 15 times in total, and the total opening time of the big prize opening 8 in each round game is set to a maximum of 30 seconds. During this time, when a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 9 balls) enter the grand prize winning opening 8, one round game is set to end.

  The symbol display means 5 is composed of a liquid crystal display device or the like disposed substantially at the center of the game board 4 and can display predetermined symbols, backgrounds, etc. on its screen, and corresponds to the first special symbol display means 10. The symbol (decorative symbol) corresponding to the (decorative symbol) or the second special symbol display means 11 can be variably displayed or stopped. Then, when a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, the same symbol is stopped and displayed), a “hit state” occurs, and the big winning opening 8 is opened at a predetermined time and timing, so that a large number of game balls can be obtained. It is configured as follows.

  Here, in the present invention (including this embodiment), the decorative symbol corresponding to the first special symbol that is displayed in a variable manner or stopped by the symbol display means 5 is also referred to as a “first special symbol”, and the symbol display. The decorative symbol corresponding to the second special symbol displayed in a variable manner or stopped by the means 5 is also referred to as a “second special symbol”. That is, the first special symbol that is changed or stopped by the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol that is changed or stopped by the second special symbol display means 11 are displayed by the symbol display means 5. Since there is a relationship that always corresponds to the decorative symbols that are changed or stopped, the names of the symbols are the same.

  In addition, when the symbol stopped and displayed by the symbol display means 5 is a predetermined specific symbol (that is, the random number value acquired when winning the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7a of the electric tulip 7) When a special symbol predetermined according to (a jackpot random value) is stopped and displayed by the first special symbol display means 10 or the second special symbol display means 11), the probability of the jackpot occurrence is increased than usual. Benefits are given to players. That is, at the end of the jackpot state, the player is given a privilege that the next jackpot will occur with a high probability on the condition that the stop symbol that caused the jackpot state is a specific symbol. Thus, a gaming state in which a jackpot state occurs with a normal probability is referred to as a normal probability gaming state, and a gaming state in which a jackpot state occurs with a higher probability than the normal probability is referred to as a high probability gaming state.

  The first special symbol holding lamp 15 displays the symbols (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) on the symbol display means 5 (the same applies to the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol display means 11). In the meantime, when a game ball wins at the first starting port 6, the number of the game balls that have been won as a holding ball is displayed up to a predetermined number (four in this embodiment). Is. Similarly, the second special symbol holding lamp 16 has a symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) in the symbol display means 5 (the first special symbol display means 10 and the second special symbol display means 11 are the same). When a game ball wins at the first starting port 6 while the display is variably displayed, the number of the game balls that have been won as a hold ball is limited to a predetermined number (four in this embodiment). To display.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a main control board 17 and a sub control board 18 are disposed on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment. Of these, the sub-control board 18 performs various controls based on the control signal transmitted from the main control board 17, and the effect control board 19 electrically connected to the symbol display means 5, the speaker, etc. The lamp control board 20 is electrically connected to a lamp, a movable accessory, and the like, and the payout control board 21 is electrically connected to a payout drive motor and the like.

  The main control board 17 controls game contents throughout the pachinko gaming machine 1 and includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. The main control board 17 includes the first special symbol display means 10, the second special symbol display means 11, the normal symbol display means 12, the first special symbol hold lamp 15 and the second special symbol hold lamp 16 described above. , A start port SW for detecting winning of a game ball to the first start port 6 and the second start port 7a, a solenoid of the electric tulip 7 for driving the electric tulip 7 as an opening / closing means, and a game ball of the gate 9 The gate SW for detecting the passing of the game, the big prize opening SW for detecting the winning of the game ball to the big prize opening 8, and the big prize opening solenoid for driving the special prize opening 8 are electrically connected. Has been.

  Furthermore, the main control board 17 according to the present embodiment determines a jackpot state or a loss that is advantageous to the player when the game ball is won at the starting port (the first starting port 6 and the second starting port 7a). Game for the lottery means 22 for obtaining the jackpot numerical data (random value) and the production numerical data (random value) for determining the production mode, and the starting port (the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7a) It has storage means 23 for storing numerical data (numerical data for jackpots and numerical data for performance) acquired as a trigger when the ball has won, and reserved ball processing means 24.

  The storage means 23 stores numerical data (numerical data for jackpots and numerical data for performance) acquired when the game ball is won at the first starting port 6 as first hold data, and the second starting port 7a. The numerical data (numerical data for jackpots and numerical data for effects) acquired in response to the winning of the game ball is stored as second reserved data. The reserved ball processing means 24 stores the game ball as a reserved ball and stores it as the first special ball when the game ball wins the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7a while the symbol display unit 5 displays the variation. It is displayed by the symbol holding lamp 15 or the second special symbol holding lamp 16.

  In particular, the main control board 17 according to the present embodiment has game data that can determine whether or not a big hit is made on the condition that a game ball has won a prize at the first start port 16 or the second start port 7a (numerical data for big hits and effects (Numerical data for use) can be obtained, and the first mode in which the chance of winning a prize at the second start port 7a is set to be small by controlling the electric tulip 7 (opening / closing means), or establishment of a predetermined condition (this implementation) In the form, a second mode (for example, opening of the electric tulip 7) in which the chance to win the second starting port 7a is increased as compared with the first mode by the normal symbol display means 12 displaying a predetermined normal symbol stopped). The time of the state becomes longer, etc.).

  The effect control board 19 is configured to include a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and performs various controls mainly related to effects based on a control signal transmitted from the main control board 17. In the effect control board 19 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball wins at the first start port 6 or the second start port 7a, the symbol display means 5 displays the symbols in a variable manner, and the game ball wins at the first start port. The game acquired by the main control board 17 on the condition that the first special symbol is stopped and displayed in accordance with the game data acquired by the main control board 17 on the condition that the game ball is won or the game ball is won at the second starting port 7a. The second special symbol is stopped and displayed according to the data. The effect control board 19 is also electrically connected to the lamp control board 20 and, based on the control signal transmitted from the main control board 17, the decorative lamp, the movable accessory, etc. are transmitted via the lamp control board 20. It is configured to perform a predetermined effect by controlling.

  In particular, the effect control board 19 according to the present embodiment includes a fluctuation display control unit 25 and a notification unit 26. The variable display control means 25 is a special symbol (strictly, a decorative symbol corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol) in the display means (symbol display means 5) based on the hold data stored in the storage means 23. Is displayed in a variable manner. The variable display control means 25 displays the first special symbol variably based on the first reserved data, displays the second special symbol variably based on the second reserved data, and displays the variable display of the second special symbol. It is assumed that priority is given to the change display of the first special symbol (so-called “priority change”).

  When the gaming state set on the main control board 17 is in the second mode, the notifying means 26 is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the first starting port 6 when the symbol display on the symbol display means 5 is changed. In this case, it is notified that the change display of the symbol is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the first start port 6. That is, in the second mode, the notifying means 26 is less interested in the player if the change display of the symbols on the symbol display means 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the second starting port 7a. Since there is no such notification, the change display of the symbol on the symbol display means 5 is triggered by the winning of the game ball at the first starting port 6 (the transition from an advantageous gaming state to an unfavorable gaming state) Only if there is a possibility of doing so).

  Further, when the gaming state set on the main control board 17 is in the first mode, the notifying unit 26 is triggered by the winning of the game ball at the second starting port 7a when the symbol variation display on the symbol display unit 5 is performed. As a result, it is notified that the change display of the symbol is triggered by the winning of a game ball in the second starting port 7a. That is, in the first mode, the notifying unit 26 is not so interested in the player if the symbol change display on the symbol display unit 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the first starting port 6. Since there is no such notification, the change display of the symbol on the symbol display means 5 is triggered by the winning of the game ball at the second starting port 7a (the transition from an unfavorable gaming state to an advantageous gaming state) Only if there is a possibility of doing so).

  Here, the notification means 26 according to the present embodiment is notified by display by the symbol display means 5. For example, when the gaming state is in the second mode, the symbol change display on the symbol display means 5 is the first. In the case where the game ball is won at the start opening 6, as shown in FIG. 4, a part of the symbol display means 5 (preferably a position that does not hinder the variation display of the symbol) is displayed. In the case where the display of the notification of “changed due to winning at the start opening” is performed, while the change display of the symbol on the symbol display means 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the second starting opening 7a, The notification is not displayed.

  In addition, for example, when the gaming state is in the first mode, the notifying unit 26, when the symbol variation display on the symbol display unit 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball to the second starting port 7a, As shown in FIG. 5, a part of the symbol display means 5 (preferably a position not hindering the fluctuation display of the symbol is preferred) is displayed with a notification “changed due to winning of the second start opening”, while the symbol display means In the case where the symbol variation display in 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball in the first starting port 6, the notification is not displayed.

  However, instead of the first special symbol holding lamp 15 and the second special symbol holding lamp 16, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the number of the holding balls is displayed on a part of the symbol display means 5 (the symbol display means 5). While the symbols are variably displayed at, the number of reserved balls when the game ball is won at the first start port 6 is the number of reserved balls in the first special symbol hold display section 15 ', and the game ball is won at the second start port 7a. The number of reserved balls in this case may be displayed on the second special symbol hold display unit 16 ′.

  In this case, for example, when the gaming state is in the second mode, when the symbol variation display on the symbol display means 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the first start port 6, FIG. As described above, the display of the first special symbol hold display unit 15 ′ is larger than the display of the second special symbol hold display unit 16 ′ (or the first special symbol hold display unit 15 ′ blinks), and the notification is performed. When the symbol change display on the symbol display means 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the second starting port 7a, the display of the first special symbol hold display unit 15 'and the second special symbol hold The display of the display unit 16 ′ is made the same as usual so that the notification is not displayed.

  Further, the notification by the notification means 26 is performed by operating the effect means for the effect provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a special form instead of or in addition to that performed by the symbol display means 5. It is good. For example, the notification means 26 may be informed by the action of a movable accessory (a special action different from normal), the blinking or lighting of a lamp, the output of sound or sound effect from a speaker, and the like.

  According to the above-described embodiment, in the second mode, the symbol variation display on the symbol display means 5 is limited to the event that the symbol variation display on the first starting port 6 is triggered by the winning of the game ball. Since the informing means 26 for notifying that the game ball is won at the 1 start opening 6 is provided, the game to any start opening (the first start opening 6 in the second mode) It is possible to notify whether the design changes due to the winning of the ball, and to suppress other notifications (winning of the second starting port 7a in the second mode) that are not of great interest to the engineer. The hindrance can be suppressed.

  That is, in the case of the second mode, if the symbol variation display on the symbol display means 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball at the first starting port 6, the fact is notified so that the player is interested. If it is possible to grasp the possibility of becoming an unfavorable state from a certain advantageous state, and if the variation display of the symbol in the special symbol display means is triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 7a Since this is not notified, it is possible to suppress frequent notifications that are not of interest to the player, and to prevent other effects from being hindered.

  Further, in the first mode, the notifying unit 26 displays the symbol variation display only when the symbol variation display on the symbol display unit 5 is triggered by the winning of a game ball to the second starting port 7a. 2 Since it is informed that the game ball is won at the starting port 7a, it is triggered by the winning of the game ball at any starting port (the second starting port 7a in the first mode). It is possible to notify whether the symbol has been changed, and it is possible to suppress notification that is not of great interest to the player and prevent other effects from being disturbed.

  Furthermore, since the notification means 26 according to the present embodiment is notified by the display by the symbol display means 5, it is possible to more reliably notify which start point the game ball is triggered by winning the game ball. Can do. The notification by the notification means 26 does not hinder the display of the symbol or the display of the effect on the symbol display means 5 if the effect means for the effect provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is operated in a special form. It is possible to notify which of the starting points the change of the symbol is triggered by the winning of the game ball.

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this . For example , in the present embodiment, the variable display of the second special symbol is given priority over the variable display of the first special symbol. Although it is made, it is good also as what does not give this priority.

In the case of the second mode , the symbol display on the symbol display means is limited to that which is triggered by the winning of a game ball to the first starting port that may change from an advantageous gaming state to an unfavorable gaming state. , Rutotomoni to notify that variable display of the symbols is obtained at the moment of winning the game balls to the first start hole, when the first aspect, variable display of symbols in the symbol display means second A gaming machine having notifying means for notifying that the change display of the symbol is triggered by the winning of the game ball at the second starting port, only when the game ball is won at the starting port If so, the present invention can also be applied to ones having different external shapes or to which other functions are added.
