Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that is installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  At a pachinko parlor, for example, ask the player to come to the association, and give the member a membership card with storage means for storing digital data, for example. It has been proposed to give points to members based on data such as IDs stored in the storage means of the member card on the condition of the game content in the game machine.

In addition, at manufacturers and sales companies of gaming machines installed at game halls, for example, recruit members on mobile phone mobile sites, etc., and give points and other benefits to members based on games on their own gaming machines. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).
For example, points can be given in accordance with the functions of a digital camera generally provided in a mobile phone and the function of a two-dimensional code reading program of a predetermined format generally installed in a mobile phone. This is done by displaying the above-mentioned two-dimensional code in the predetermined format on the display device of the machine.

  The information indicated by the two-dimensional code includes points obtained in the game ball, game data, and the like, and also includes, for example, the URL of the mobile site described above. By using this URL to access the mobile site described above, for example, a Web server that publishes the mobile site, or an ApI server connected to the Web server, the points or games included in the above-described two-dimensional code Data can be transmitted.

  For example, in a pachislot machine (slot machine) as a gaming machine, a password corresponding to a point or the like is received by a mobile phone by accessing the mobile site using the two-dimensional code. When input is made to the pachislot, for example, a privilege that enables special image effects and sound effects for members can be obtained. Also, on the mobile site, according to the points and the like, the privilege image data and sound data such as voice and music can be downloaded to the mobile phone.

  If it becomes possible to guide a player to a gaming machine of a specific manufacturer or the like in the game hall by giving a privilege in such a gaming machine, the operation rate of the gaming machine of the specific manufacturer in the gaming hall is improved. There is a possibility of increasing the number of installed gaming machines in the game hall. That is, there is a possibility that the number of game machines sold that can give a player a privilege other than coins or game balls can be increased.

  In addition, when considering the availability of gaming machines, for example, in a ball game machine that launches a game ball such as a pachinko machine, a player who plays with the game machine may stop firing the game ball as much as possible. It is preferable that the game ball is continuously fired. In other words, even if a player is playing a game on a gaming machine, when the game ball is stopped from firing, it is substantially the same as if there is no player on the gaming machine, and there is a player on the gaming machine. However, by stopping the launch of the game ball, the operating rate of the game machine decreases.

  Here, in a game machine called a general digipachi, it becomes possible to play a variable display game by winning a game ball at the start opening, and when the variable display game becomes a big hit by lottery in the control device of the pachinko game machine A big hit state in which a large amount of game balls can be acquired occurs. Further, even if a game ball wins at the starting port, the next variable display game cannot be started in the state where the variable display game is already displayed, and the variable display game that could not be started is started. By storing an opportunity corresponding to the winning of a game ball at the start opening, the variable display game is put on hold, and when the next variable display game can be started, the held variable display game can be started. It has become.

In addition, an upper limit is set for the number of hold of the variable display game, for example, the variable display game can be held up to four times, and the start is performed with the number of hold of the variable display game being the upper limit. Even if a game ball wins in the mouth, the variable display game is not put on hold.
In addition, there are pachinko gaming machines that are provided with two starting ports, and the variable display game can be put on hold corresponding to each starting port. In such pachinko gaming machines, there is a variation corresponding to each starting port. Up to four display games can be held, and a total of eight variable display games can be held.

  However, in a pachinko gaming machine having a probability variation (probability variation), generally one of the two starting holes can always win a game ball, but the other starting hole is provided with an electric chew. At the same time, the game ball is awarded only when the electric chew is released. At normal times when there is no certain change, there is little opportunity for the electric chew to open and the open time of the electric chew is short, so the number of hold of the variable display game corresponding to the other starting port is almost zero.

  In addition, when the probability change is made, the chances of the electric chew being released increase and the electric chew release time is long, so the number of hold of the variable display game corresponding to the other start port during the probability change is often the upper limit. Further, in such a pachinko gaming machine, the variable display game held corresponding to the other starting port is executed in preference to the variable display game held corresponding to the one starting port. The variable display game put on hold corresponding to one starting port is not often executed. Therefore, since the variable display game held corresponding to one start opening is not often executed, the upper limit number of the variable display games held corresponding to one start opening at the time of probability change is four in most cases. It has become.

However, since the variable display game held corresponding to this one start opening is hardly executed at the time of probability change, the number of hold of the variable display game executed at the time of probability change substantially corresponds to the other start opening 4. Become one.
Therefore, even if eight variable display games can be held corresponding to the two start ports, the number of hold of the variable display game actually started at both the normal time and the probability change is substantially four.

In the digipachi, basically, the game balls increase due to the game while the variable display game is in the big hit state, and the game balls decrease due to the game in other states. Therefore, for example, when the number of holdings of the variable display game reaches the upper limit, even if a game ball wins at the start opening, the number of holdings of the variable display game does not increase, and there is a chance of winning a lottery. Therefore, in this state, it is advantageous for the player to stop the launch of the game ball.
However, at the time of probability change, game balls are easily won in the electric chew, so there is little decrease in game balls, and the game time of the variable display game is shorter than normal, and the held variable display game is consumed quickly. . Therefore, at the time of probability change, there are many players who continue the game even if the number of hold of the variable display game reaches the upper limit of 4.
Also, during normal times, until the upper limit of the variable display game corresponding to one start opening reaches the upper limit of 4, game balls will be fired, and the game ball firing stop time per unit time is not so much not many.

JP 2006-68242 A JP 2006-68243 A JP 2006-61304 A

  By the way, if the number of hold of the variable display game is 1 or more and the state in which the next variable display game can be started immediately after the previous variable display game ends, the number of hold of the variable display game is not limited to the upper limit. Even if it is not, the number of variable display games per lot (the lottery that determines the big hit) will be the same. It may be advantageous for the player to stop the firing of the player.

For example, if there are two start openings, the two start openings are always in a state where game balls can be won, and the variable display game is played in accordance with the winning order of the game balls, the change is always made. The upper limit of the substantial number of holds of the display game is 8.
Here, even if the number of holds is not eight, for example, there is a possibility that the variable display game can be generated almost continuously even if it is about six. In this case, even if the number of holds is not the maximum (upper limit) There is a possibility that the player stops firing the game ball.
In other words, even if the upper limit of the number of holdings of the variable display game is the same, the number of holdings can be substantially increased by increasing the number of holdings. However, even if the possibility that the variable display game will not be held is reduced to some extent, the increase in the number of holds will increase the number of players who will stop playing game balls before the number of holds reaches the upper limit, improving the operating rate There is a risk that it will be difficult to achieve this.

The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein a gaming board having a gaming area in which a launched game ball flows down;
A start opening provided in the game board and for winning a part of the game ball flowing down the game area;
Display means for displaying a variable display game that is started when a predetermined start condition is established based on winning of the game ball at the start opening;
Effect display control means for controlling the display means to display an effect display related to the variable display game;
Random number acquisition means for acquiring random number information when the game ball wins at the start opening;
A winning lottery that determines whether the random display game wins or loses based on whether or not the random number acquired by the random number acquisition means satisfies a predetermined winning condition when the predetermined start condition of the variable display game is satisfied. Means,
When the random number acquisition means acquires the random number information during the execution process of the variable display game, the random number information is stored in a suspendable manner until a predetermined upper limit is reached,
And a random number storage control means for reading one piece of random number information for use in the winning lottery means when the start condition of the variable display game is established, and erasing the read random number information,
When the random number obtaining means obtains the random number information, the number of points differs based on the pending state of the random number information in a state where the random number is stored without being erased until the random number is read. generated the point, the point generation storage means for adding can store the generated points,
An input means that enables external input of information relating to the player's game start;
Based on Rukoto is input information of the game started by the input means, and a point integrator for integrating the points generated by the point generation storage means,
The effect display control means includes:
Whether or not to display a predetermined type of notice effect display for announcing the result of winning or losing the variable display game before the result of winning or losing the variable display game is displayed as the display of the variable display game The notice lottery is performed based on the appearance probability, and when it is decided to display the notice lottery, the notice effect display control means for displaying the notice effect display is provided.
The notice effect display control means includes:
When based on the condition that the value of the point generated by the point generation storage means is a predetermined number or more,
The notice effect display with a predetermined appearance probability or less can be displayed regardless of the result of the notice lottery, or the appearance probability of the notice effect display with a predetermined appearance probability or less is set to be higher than the predetermined appearance probability. It can be changed.

In the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to output game data indicating the game result of the game period from the start of the game to the end of the game by inputting the start of the game, and generate points as the game data during the game period, In a gaming machine that accumulates the generated points, it is possible to generate points when information on random numbers for determining the winning or losing of the next variable display game is acquired during execution of the variable display game. It has become.
Note that at least points may be given as one of the conditions for generating points, given that an opportunity to start the variable display game is given.
Further, the predetermined start condition is determined in advance as the number of holdings in which the variable display game is not held when the random number information is acquired or the variable display game is put on hold at the end of the standby of the variable display game. The upper limit is not reached.

Therefore, when the number of holds is 0, and the game display ball is won at the starting port in a state where the variable display game is not started and random number information is acquired, and the variable display game is started using the random number information, That is, points are awarded when the current number of holds is 0 and the number of holds becomes zero due to the start of the variable display game immediately after the random number information is acquired.
Further, when a game ball is won at the starting point during the variable display game and random number information is acquired and the holding number is increased by 1, the point grant rate increases and higher points are awarded.
In the case of the above-described state where the number of holdings is 0 and is 0, points may be given by satisfying the condition that the number of holdings is 1 or more. .
In addition, points may be awarded by satisfying the condition that a certain number of reserves are stored, or the points may be given higher when a certain number of points are accumulated.

In this case, when the random number is acquired, points when the number of holds becomes 1 or more are preferentially generated as compared with the case where the number of holds becomes 0 even when the random number is acquired.
For example, when a random number is acquired, the number of points generated when the hold number becomes 1 or more is larger than the points generated when the hold number becomes 0 even when the random number is acquired.

  This may lead the player to continue firing the game ball to increase the points generated during the game period. For example, there is a possibility that the player may stop launching the game ball for the purpose of taking a break, watching a variable display game in a concentrated manner, or extending the game time with a limited budget. At this time, once the number of holds is set to 0 and the variable display game is not started, the number of points generated is reduced. Therefore, a player who is interested in accumulating points may avoid stopping the game ball firing over a period of time when all the pending variable display games are consumed to generate more points. As a result, the operating rate of the gaming machine that generates points can be improved.

In addition, the play information as the history information of the game in the game period including the information of the points accumulated in the game period by the point accumulation means can be read by a portable terminal that can be connected to a predetermined server. Comprising a two-dimensional code display means for converting and displaying a two-dimensional code of a style;
The input means can input a symbol code in a predetermined format from the outside,
When the symbol code is transmitted to the predetermined server via the portable terminal, the play information included in the two-dimensional code is analyzed in the predetermined server. The obtained analysis data is stored and updated, and is generated by converting at least a part of the stored and updated analysis data.
When the symbol code is inputted from the outside, the effect display control means changes the effect display associated with the symbol code input from the effect display change mode stored in association with each symbol code. When the symbol code is input from the outside when the symbol code is input from the outside, the initial display in which the symbol code is not input is enabled. It is preferable that an effect display different from the effect display can be executed.

  The points accumulated as described above are two-dimensional codes (encoded) from other game data (play information such as effects of special figure variation patterns that have appeared and play information such as the number of jackpots) from a liquid crystal display unit provided in the gaming machine. Output as video). When this two-dimensional code is read by a portable terminal that can be read and transmitted to a predetermined server, play information including points is analyzed based on the information of the two-dimensional code received on the predetermined server side, and the analyzed data is , Stored and managed as game history information stored in a predetermined database, and the game history information (including all accumulated data, including some information (such as pickup of point total information)) can be converted into a symbol code The output is based on the access by the portable terminal.

This symbol code is, for example, a combination of symbols such as a plurality of characters and symbols, and can be input as information on the game start of the player from the input means into the gaming machine.
For example, there is a data table in which the total of points in the analysis data of the two-dimensional code is associated with a symbol code, and the total of points may be converted into a symbol code by a collation operation of this data table.

When this symbol code is input to the gaming machine, for example, it is input to the control device on the sub-control board side of the gaming machine. On the sub-control board side, for example, there is a data table in which effect display data corresponding to the symbol code is registered, and the effect display data corresponding to the input symbol code may be displayed. Note that the effect display data corresponding to the symbol code is preferably not displayed when the corresponding symbol code is not input, or the appearance probability of being displayed is suppressed.
In addition, in the data table in which the lottery probability of each effect display data is set, the effect display in which the corresponding symbol code is set in the effect display data is used when determining whether to perform the effect display by lottery. Data shall be included. The lottery probability that the effect display data corresponding to the symbol code is selected is set to 0 when no symbol code is input, and is set to be larger than 0 when the symbol code is input. At this time, the lottery probability may be changed by changing the data table for each symbol code.
For example, when a character appears on the effect display, the character is different, the character's clothes are different, or the character's operation is different depending on whether the symbol is not input or the symbol is input. Also, depending on the input symbol code, the character is different, the character's clothes are different, or the character's movement is different.
The effect display data is stored in storage means such as a ROM of the sub control board, and the effect display is changed by switching the effect display data based on the input of the symbol code, or the effect display data table is stored. By switching, the appearance probability of the specific effect is changed.
Also, based on the analysis of the point total value information included in the game start information (symbol code) of the player input to the gaming machine, the initial value bulk when the points generated after the play start information are added Raising is done.

Further, the effect display control means may display a plurality of types of announcements for the winning and losing results of the variable display game before displaying the winning or losing results of the changing display game as the display of the changing display game. From the notice effect display, a notice lottery indicating whether or not to display each notice effect display is performed based on the appearance probability corresponding to the type of the notice effect display and whether or not to display the notice effect display. Performing a notice effect display control means for displaying a notice effect display determined to be displayed in the notice lottery,
On the condition that the value of the points generated by the point generation storage means is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, the notice effect display control means is configured to display a notice of a predetermined appearance probability or less when displaying a variable display game to be started. It is preferable to display the effect display regardless of the result of the notice lottery, or to change the setting so that the appearance probability of the notice effect display below the predetermined appearance probability is higher than the predetermined appearance probability.

When a notice effect display determined by lottery is performed from a plurality of notice effect displays indicating the possibility that the variable display game will eventually win during the variable display game, the value of the accumulated points exceeds a predetermined number On the condition that the notice effect display below the predetermined appearance probability is displayed, or the appearance probability of the notice effect display below the predetermined appearance probability is set to be higher than the predetermined appearance probability.
Thereby, by increasing the value of the point, the appearance probability is low and the notice effect that cannot be seen so much can be seen or seen more likely.
In addition, based on the increase / decrease of the point value accumulated in the gaming machine, the first notice effect appearing at the effect of notifying the jackpot result and the first notice effect appearing at the effect notifying the disapproval result (the same as described above) By changing the appearance ratio of the notice effect, the jackpot reliability of the first notice effect can be adjusted.

In addition, the gaming state in which the variable display game is played is set with a plurality of gaming states including those having different lottery probability settings for the variable display game, and the current gaming state is selected from any of these gaming states. A game state control means for making the game state,
A gaming state that is controlled by the gaming state control unit when the random number obtaining unit earns the random number includes a gaming state determination unit that determines any of a plurality of gaming states;
The point generation storage unit generates the point having a predetermined value corresponding to the gaming state determined by the gaming state determination unit when the random number acquisition unit acquires a random number.

  The value of points added when random number information is acquired according to the gaming state can be changed. For example, when there are a probable change state and a normal state as the game state, the value of the points obtained when the random number is acquired can be changed between the probability change state and the normal state.

According to the present invention, the player is possible configurations and to Rukoto confer benefits other than game medium game ball such as made possible on the basis of carrying out the game.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment basically has a configuration as a kind of pachinko gaming machine called so-called digipachi.
In the game area 2 on the board surface of the game board 1, a variable display device (display device) 3 is provided at a substantially central portion thereof. The variable display device 3 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and displays various lottery results of lottery and losing lottery performed by a main controller 14 described later functioning as a winning lottery means. When displaying, a variation display game of decorative symbols is displayed, and the above lottery result is notified by a jackpot and a miss of the variation display game.

  In the lower part of the game area 2, first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b are provided. The first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b are, for example, 7-segment LED display devices. Note that the first and second special-figure indicators 4a and 4b do not have to be 7-segment display devices capable of displaying numbers. For example, about 6 to 8 segments of any shape can be placed at any position. It may be arranged, and it is sufficient that lighting and extinguishing of each segment can be individually controlled. The first and second special figure displays 4a and 4b stop and display the special figure (lottery result display) after the fluctuation display (a part of the segments blinks) for the above-described fluctuation display time.

  Here, the special display variable display game in which the special figure is stopped and displayed after the blinking display of the first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b is referred to as a special figure game. The special game includes a first special game played on the first special display 4a and a second special game played on the second special display 4b. When the game and the second special figure game are not performed and both the first special figure game and the second special figure game can be started, the holding time when the game is put on hold is early as will be described later. Will start first. That is, regardless of the first special figure game and the second special figure game, the special figure games are started one by one in the order in which they are put on hold (in order of winning).

  The variable display game displayed on the variable display device 3 corresponds to the first special figure game or the second special figure game being executed, and when the first special figure game is being executed, When a variation display game of a decorative symbol that is the same as the result of the first special game is displayed and the second special game is being executed, the decorative symbol that has the same result as that of the second special game is displayed. A variable display game is displayed.

Under the variable display device 3, a first start port 5a and a second start port 5b are provided side by side on both sides of the distribution guide device 7. The first start port 5a is provided on the right side, and the second start port 5b is provided on the left side.
The second starting port 5b is provided in the normal variation winning device 5 called a so-called electric chew.
The normal variation winning device 5 includes a pair of movable pieces 51 and 51 that can be opened and closed, and the movable pieces 51 and 51 are closed (closed state) so that it is difficult for a game ball to win a prize at the second start port 5b. And the movable pieces 51, 51 are in a state of being opened (open state) so that the game balls can be easily won. Even when the movable pieces 51 and 51 are closed, there is an interval through which only one game ball can pass between the movable pieces 51 and 51, so that it is more difficult to win a game ball than when it is opened. , Game balls can be won.

  A first starting winning ball detection sensor 53a (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting a winning of a game ball is provided at the first starting port 5a. The first starting winning ball detection sensor 53a is connected to the main controller 14. When the game ball wins the first start opening 5a, a first start winning signal is output. The second start opening 5b is provided with a second start winning ball detection sensor 53b (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting the winning of a game ball. The second starting winning ball detection sensor 53b is a main controller. 14. When the game ball wins the second start opening 5b, a second start winning signal is output. The main controller 14 acquires a random number that determines each jackpot and miss of the first special figure game (variable display game) based on the input of the first start winning signal (establishment of a predetermined random number acquisition condition), and the second start Based on the input of a winning signal (establishment of a predetermined random number acquisition condition), a random number for determining each jackpot and miss of the second special figure game (variable display game) is acquired. Note that the starting order of the first and second special figure games is determined with the acquisition order of random numbers based on the input of the first and second start winning signals as the aforementioned winning order.

Further, in the variable display device 3, a special figure reservation number display area 31 in which a mark number display 31a, 31b of a special figure reservation number (described later) is displayed is set in a peripheral portion of the screen (a portion that does not disturb the effect display). . In the main control device 14, when a start winning signal is input from the first start winning ball detection sensor 53a during execution of the special figure game, a numerical value (for example, 4) which becomes an upper limit at which the first special figure game can be held is set. Within the range, 1 is added to the first special figure hold number (the number of marks is incremented by 1), and when the first special figure game (variable display game) is started based on this start winning, Subtract 1 from the number of reserved figures (decrease the number of marks by 1). This first special figure reservation number is displayed as the number of marks in the special figure reservation number display area 31 (31a). Similarly, in the main controller 14, when a start winning signal is input from the second start winning ball detection sensor 53b during execution of the special figure game, a numerical value (for example, an upper limit at which the second special figure game can be suspended) 4) In the range of 4), 1 is added to the second special figure hold number (the number of marks is incremented by 1), and when the second special figure game (variable display game) is started based on this starting prize, Subtract 1 from the number of second special figure hold (decrease the number of marks by 1). This second special figure reservation number is displayed as the number of marks in the special figure reservation number display area 31 (31b). In addition, when the first special figure hold number is 0 and the first and second special figure games are not being played and the start winning signal is input from the first start winning ball detection sensor 53a, the first special figure is displayed. The number of suspensions becomes 0 when the first special figure game is started immediately based on the input of the winning signal.
Similarly, when the second special figure holding number is 0 and the first and second special figure games are not being played and the start winning signal is input from the second starting winning ball detection sensor 53a, The figure holding number becomes 0 when the second special figure game is immediately started based on the input of the winning signal.

  A special variable winning device 6 having a special winning opening 61 is provided below the variable display device 3 and further to the right of the distribution guiding device 7. The special variable winning device 6 has a structure as a so-called attacker, and is provided with a movable door 62 that opens and closes a large winning opening 61. In a normal game state, the movable door 62 wins a game ball. In a closed state where the player stands in a closed state so as not to flow into the mouth 61 and the result of the first special figure game or the second special figure game results in a big hit, and a big hit state occurs, the game ball can easily flow in. It will be in the open state when it is tilted almost horizontally forward. The special variation winning device 6 is provided with a big winning ball detection sensor 63 for detecting a game ball won in the big winning opening 61.

When a big hit is made, as a big hit state, for example, an operation of one round as an opening / closing operation in which the special variable winning device 6 is changed from the closed state to the opened state and then closed again is performed for a predetermined number of rounds. It is like that. For example, in the big hit state, the predetermined number of rounds is about 10 to 16, although it may vary depending on the pachinko gaming machine. Note that the number of rounds may vary depending on the type of winning.
In addition, the special variation winning device 6 performs only two rounds in a jackpot state corresponding to hits of so-called sudden hits, hits, latent probabilities, etc., which are referred to as per two rounds. Control of the special variable winning device 6 in the big hit state is performed by the main controller 14 as a hit state control means.

  On the left side of the variable display device 3, there is provided a normal symbol (abbreviated as ordinary figure) starting port (through chucker) 8a. Further, a passing ball detection sensor 81 for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general map starting port 8a is provided corresponding to the general game starting port 8a. When the passing ball detection sensor 81 detects a game ball, the main control device 14 To output a passing ball detection signal. Based on the input of the passing ball detection signal, the main control device 14 performs a general drawing lottery for drawing the winning when the normal variation winning device 5 is opened and the losing that keeps the normal variation winning device 5 closed. Do. The result of the general drawing lottery is notified by displaying the normal variable display game (hereinafter referred to as the general game) on the general map display device 8b. Under the above-mentioned general map display device 8b, a general map hold number display lamp 8c is provided, and the required general map hold number is displayed in the same manner as the special map hold number.

On the top and the left and right of the variable display device 3 are provided wall portions 33 that prevent the game balls from flowing into the variable display device 3 side. A stage 34 is provided on the lower side of the variable display device 3 so that game balls that have flowed from the warp inlet 35 flow out onto the stage 34 from a warp outlet (not shown). Also, from the warp inlet 35 to the warp outlet, a warp channel (not shown) is provided, for example, on the rear side (back side) from the front surface of the game board 1. The game ball that has flowed in from the warp inlet 35 flows out from the warp outlet to the stage 34 through this warp channel.
In addition, the front edge of the stage 34 is the position of the front surface of the game board 1, and a game ball repelled by a game nail or the like can be placed on the lower side of the stage 34, and the front of the stage 34 A game ball can flow from the edge to the game area 2 below the stage 34.

On the stage 34, the game ball that has flowed out of the warp exit rolls to the left and right at the moment of outflow. A part of the game ball that rolls left and right on the stage 34 is distributed to the outlet 36 along the rolling path of the game ball on the stage. The outlet 36 is provided at the left and right center of the stage 34, and the game ball flowing out of the outlet 36 flows into an inlet 71 described later of the sorting guidance device 7 with a high probability.
The probability that a game ball placed on the stage 34 flows into the inflow port 71 is higher than the probability that a game ball that has not been placed on the stage 34 flows into the inflow port 71.

  The distribution guiding device 7 has a bifurcated shape that guides one inflow port 71, two outflow ports 72, 73, and a game ball flowing in from the one inflow port 71 to one of the two outflow ports 72, 73. And a distribution member 75 that is provided at a bifurcated portion of the distribution path 74 and distributes the flow direction of the game ball to one of the left and right outlets 72 and 73.

The inflow port 71 is disposed directly below the outlet port 36 of the stage 34 so that a game ball derived from the outlet port 36 flows in with high probability.
Further, the stage 34 including the outlet 36 has a leading edge at the same position as the board surface of the game board 1, and a sufficient space is provided between the stage 34 and the outlet 36 and the inlet 71 in the vertical direction. The game ball that has not been placed on the stage 34 can also flow into the inflow port. A part of the game ball that is not guided to the outlet 36 and falls downward from the front edge of the stage 34 can also flow into the inlet 71.

The distribution passage 74 is composed of a portion that faces downward from the inflow port 71 and a portion that branches to the left and right and inclines toward the outflow ports 72 and 73 while being inclined downward, and is formed from the front side of the game board 1 to the front side. Yes.
Ball receiving openings 72a and 73a are provided at the left and right ends of the distribution passage 74, and the ball receiving openings 72a and 73a and an outlet (outflow passage) 72 are provided via a ball passage provided on the rear side of the front surface of the game board 1. , 73 are connected, and the game ball reaching the outlets 72, 73 flows down to the game area 2 from the lower edge of the outlets 72, 73 which is the front surface position of the game board 1.

  A first start port 5 a is disposed directly below the right outlet 72, and a second start port 5 b is disposed immediately below the left outlet 73. Thereby, the game ball flowing down from the right outflow port 72 wins the first start port 5a with a high probability, and the game ball flowing down from the left outflow port 73 wins the second start port 5b with a high probability. Even when the pair of movable pieces 51 having the second start opening 5b is closed, the game ball flowing down the left outlet 73 flows into the second start opening 5b with a high probability. It is supposed to be.

Note that a space between which the game balls can flow up and down is provided in S between the distribution guide device 7 and the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b, and does not flow into the distribution guide device 7. The game ball can flow into the first start port 5a or the second start port 5b.
The distribution member 75 is a basic seesaw-like member, which is inclined to the right outlet 72 side to guide the game ball to the right outlet 72, and is inclined to the left outlet 73 side. The state can be changed to the state of guiding to the left outlet 73 side.
The seesaw-shaped distribution member 75 may be either a self-weight tilt type that alternately tilts left and right with the weight of the game ball, or a power tilt type that tilts alternately left and right periodically with a predetermined drive source. Then, the self-weight inclination type will be described.

  In this embodiment, the sorting member 75 extends to the left and right respectively, and guide pieces 76 and 77 for guiding the game ball to the right outlet 72 or the left outlet 73, and the left and right guide pieces 76 and 77. A distribution piece 78 is provided at the center of the upper side and extends upward, and distributes the game ball flowing in from the inflow port 71 to either the right guide piece 76 or the left guide piece 77. At the center of the left and right guide pieces 76 and 77 and the distributing piece 78, a bearing portion 79 supported rotatably around the axis of the fixed shaft 7a is provided, and around the cylindrical bearing portion 79 in the radial direction. A guide piece 76, a sorting piece 78, and a guide piece 77 extending in three directions of left, middle, and right are provided at substantially equal intervals along the guide piece 76.

  The branch portion of the distribution passage 74 is provided with a convex portion 7b that protrudes upward from the floor surface side, and when the distribution member 75 is rotated to the right (clockwise), the distal end portion of the right guide piece 76 is convex. It will be in the state which cannot touch any more on the right side wall surface of the part 7b, and can rotate further. In this state, the sorting piece 78 is tilted to the right side, so that the game ball flowing in from the inflow port 71 is guided to the left side. When the game ball flows in this state, the game ball flows on the left guide piece 77 by the distribution piece 78 inclined to the right side. Thereby, the load of the game ball acts on the guide piece 77, and the sorting member 75 is rotated to the left side.

Thereby, the game ball on the left guide piece 77 flows to the left on the left guide piece 77 and flows out from the left outlet 73.
At this time, the distribution member 75 is rotated to the left, whereby the left guide piece 77 is tilted to the left and comes into contact with the left rising wall surface of the convex portion 7b to stop the rotation. In this state, the sorting piece 78 is tilted to the left.
In this state, the game ball flowing in from the inflow port 71 is guided to the right side. When the game ball flows in this state, the game ball flows on the right guide piece 76 by the sorting piece 78 inclined to the left side. Thereby, the load of the game ball acts on the guide piece 76, and the sorting member 75 is rotated to the right side.

Thereby, the game ball on the right guide piece 76 flows to the right on the right guide piece 76 and flows out from the right outlet 72.
At this time, when the distribution member 75 rotates to the right, the right guide piece 77 tilts to the right and comes into contact with the protruding portion 7b to stop the rotation. In this state, the sorting piece 78 is tilted to the right.
Further, a game board mounting base is provided at the front end of the sorting piece 78 of the sorting member 75 on the rear side of the board surface so as to be swingable rearward (back side of the board surface) from the sorting member 75 and pivotally supports the sorting member 75. A load applying member 7c composed of a link mechanism that swings left and right in the fan-shaped opening α formed in the plate is connected. The load applying member 7c applies a load to the rotation of the distributing member 75 with respect to the fixed shaft 7a, and the seesaw-shaped distributing member 75 is tilted to the right or left regardless of the passage of the game ball due to vibration during the game. It is what prevents (it has a balance adjustment function). The load is given by, for example, a frictional force, and is less than the force applied when the load based on the passing of the game ball acts on the left and right guide pieces 76 and 77 as described above. The rotation of the sorting member 75 due to the load generated when passing (the swinging of the right and left tilt) is not hindered.
The game balls that sequentially flow into the sorting guidance device 7 from the inlet 71 by such a sorting member 75 are alternately distributed to the outlets 72 and 73 from the left and right ball receiving ports 72a and 73a. Thereby, the distribution guidance device 7 alternately guides the game balls that flow in sequentially to the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b via the outflow ports 72 and 73. At the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b, game balls are won mainly through the sorting guidance device 7 due to the arrangement of the game nails 9, and the like. The game balls are alternately awarded to the second starting port 5b. In addition, when a game ball wins the first starting port 5a and the second starting port 5b from other than the distribution guiding device 7, the alternating order is shifted.

  As described above, when the normal game is won, the normal variation winning device 5 is opened, and the winning rate of the game ball to the normal variation winning device 5 (second start opening 5b) is increased, and the special game The opportunity to start is increasing. In the probability variation state and the short time state, the normal variation winning device 5 is frequently opened. In this case, the first starting port 5a and the second starting port 5b described above are not alternately won, but the game ball is mainly won in the second starting port 5b. Therefore, the state where the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b are alternately won is the normal state excluding the probability change state and the time-short state.

In addition, on the left side of the game area 2, a plurality of general winning ports 10, 10 are provided. Further, a general winning ball detection sensor 11 for detecting a game ball won in the general winning ports 10, 10 is provided corresponding to the general winning ports 10, 10, respectively.

The first and second starting winning ball detection sensors 53a and 53b, the big winning ball detection sensor 63, and the general winning ball detection sensor 11, when a game ball detection signal is input, that is, when a game ball wins each winning slot, a command is output to the payout control device 22 to cause the game ball to be discharged as a prize ball.

  In addition, when the detection signal of the game ball is input from the passing ball detection sensor 81, the main control device 14 performs the process of adding the above-described number of pending drawings, and the lottery process for determining whether or not to win the bonus game The various random numbers used in the above are acquired, and when the number of reserved drawings is less than the upper limit, the random number is stored. In addition, as a predetermined start condition, the normal game is started at the end of the previous normal game, or at the end of the opening / closing operation of the normal variable winning device 5 after the win, and the normal figure holding number is decremented by one. At this time, a lottery process using random numbers is used to determine whether or not the normal game is missed, and commands are sent to the symbol control device 23, the lamp control device 24, and the voice control device 25 to display the general game, notify the result, and produce effects. Output.

  Further, the main control device 14 performs the above-described special figure holding number processing based on the input of the start winning signals from the first and second start winning ball detection sensors 53a and 53b and the start of the special figure game, Various random numbers (winning determination random number, symbol random number, production random number) as lottery determination information used in the lottery process for determining the big hit of the special figure game are acquired. Stored in (a part of random number storage means). The lottery process determines the big wins and misses of the first and second special figure games based on the winning determination random numbers, and controls the first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b to control the first and second special figure indicators. A special game is displayed, and a command is output to the symbol control device 23, the lamp control device 24, the voice control device 25, etc. for display of the decorative symbol variation display game on the variable display device 3, notification of the result, and production. .

  Note that the start conditions (random number determination conditions) of the first and second special figure games (variable display games) are the same as when the previous first special figure game or the second special figure game ends in an outlier. When the game or the second special figure game is a big hit, when the big win state for opening the special variable winning device 6 is reached, the first special figure hold number (the second special figure is retained when the big hit state is ended. This is a case where the number of holds in FIG. Is 1 or more, or the first start winning signal or the second starting winning signal is inputted. In addition, when both the first special figure game and the second special figure game can be started, the special figure game with the earlier time when the random number is acquired is started. That is, the first special game and the second special game are sequentially performed according to the winning order of the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b. Therefore, when a game ball wins alternately at the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b as described above, the first special game and the second special game are alternately performed. In addition, along with the establishment of the start condition (the establishment of the random number determination condition), at the start of the special figure game, a determination is made as to whether or not the jackpot and the loss of random numbers corresponding to this special figure game.

  Further, when the normal game is won, the main control device 14 controls the normal variation solenoid 55 that drives the movable pieces 51 and 51 of the normal variation winning device 5 to close the normal variation winning device 5. Control to make the open state from. Further, the main control device 14 controls the special fluctuation solenoid 64 of the movable door 62 of the special fluctuation prize-winning device 6 when each of the first special figure game or the second special figure game is a big win, and a predetermined condition On the basis of this, the special variation winning apparatus 6 is controlled from the closed state to the open state to generate the above-mentioned jackpot state.

  The main controller 14 as a winning lottery means performs a lottery process for determining whether the first special figure game and the second special figure game are big hits or not based on the aforementioned start winning signal. In addition, when the main controller 14 sequentially displays the first special figure game or the second special figure game that shows either the big hit or the out of the big hit, the first special drawing 14 performs the first special figure by the lottery process based on the occurrence of the probable big hit or the like. The probability that the figure game and the second special figure game are jackpots is set to a high probability state higher than the low probability state, and the first special figure game and the second special figure game are jackpots by the lottery process based on the occurrence of the normal jackpot etc. The control is performed so that the probability is lower than the high probability state. Further, the main control device 14 performs control to set the time-short state (electricity support state) where the opening time (number of times of opening) per unit time of the normally variable winning device is larger than the normal state based on the occurrence of a predetermined jackpot. Do. In the probability variation state (high probability support state), the state is basically a high probability state and the electric support state, and in the short time state (support state), the electric support state.

In addition, the symbol control device 23 as the variable display game display control means of the sub-control unit 16 controls the variable display device 3 and the general graphic display device (LED display device) 8, and the variable display device 3 Connected via a video display processor . The variable display device 3 for the variable display game of the decorative symbols is displayed by the symbol control device 23 as the notification effect control means on the basis of each jackpot and loss determined by the main control device 14 and the variation display time as the variation pattern. The display at is controlled. In addition, the symbol control device 23 controls the display of the special figure reservation number mark in the special figure reservation number display area 31 of the variable display device 3 based on the calculated special figure reservation number in the main control device 14.
In addition, the sub-control unit 16 that has acquired the transmission of the game control command generated based on the random number determination lottery performed in the main control device 14 causes the variable display device 3 to perform the variable effect display of the special figure game. Accompanying this, it functions as a notice effect determining means for controlling the notice effect display and the prior notice effect display.
Further, it controls the display of a two-dimensional code in which play information of game data including point information described later and URL information of the Web site 96 are registered as data.
In addition, the symbol control device 23 plays the above-described input device 21 provided on a glass door that covers the front frame that supports the gaming board 1 of the pachinko gaming machine or a ball tray unit provided below the glass door. When an operator or the like operates, an external input signal from the input device 21 is input.

  The lamp control device 24 of the sub-control unit 16 is provided on the front frame that supports the board-related electrical decoration (light source such as LED) 24a provided on the board surface of the game board 1 and the game board 1 of the pachinko gaming machine, A frame door-related electrical decoration (light source such as an LED) 24b such as a glass frame covering the front surface of the game board 1 is connected to control an effect produced by an LED, a lamp, or the like. Further, the lamp control device 24 is connected with a general-purpose reserved number display lamp 8c.

  The sound control device 25 is connected to a sound generation device 25a including a sound processor, an amplifier, a speaker, and the like, and the sound control device 25 controls output of effect sound, sound, music, and the like for production.

  In this embodiment, the main control device 14 as a random number generation means generates a random number (pseudorandom number) consisting of a numerical value within a predetermined range. For example, it counts up from 0 to a predetermined number at a high speed, and when it reaches the predetermined number, it performs a process of setting it to 0 again, and this numerical value is set as a pseudo-random number. When generating random numbers, processing that disturbs the periodicity of periodic pseudorandom numbers may be added. Further, a random number generating means may be provided separately from the main controller 14.

  The main controller 14 as a random number acquisition means acquires a random number generated when the start winning signals are input from the first and second start winning ball detection sensors 53a and 53b. When the start winning signal is input, a random number is acquired if the corresponding special figure hold number (the number of stored random numbers of each set of three) is less than the upper limit. If the number is the upper limit, no random number is acquired.

  Further, the main control device 14 as a random number storage means stores the random number acquired as described above in the RAM 14c, the start condition of the variable display game corresponding to the random number is established, and the lottery process using the stored random number is performed. If the random number is erased, the random number is erased on the assumption that the random number erasure condition is satisfied. At this time, one special figure holding number is subtracted. As described above, neither the first special figure game nor the second special figure game is played, and the first special figure hold number and the second special figure hold number are both 0, and a random number is acquired. When the first special figure game or the second special figure game corresponding to it is started immediately, the number of holds is zero.

  The main controller 14 as the winning lottery means uses the first and second random numbers (winning determination random number, symbol random number, production random number) obtained as described above at the start of the special figure game. A lottery process for displaying the special game is performed. In the lottery process, the winning determination random number is compared with the winning determination values registered in the set winning determination tables (low probability determination table and high probability determination table). The ROM 14b of the main controller 14 stores a hit determination table as table storage means.

  The winning judgment value is a numerical value determined in advance from a predetermined range of numerical values that will be a winning determination random number, and the jackpot probability is (number of winning determination values) / (number of numerical values in a predetermined range that will be a winning determination random number) become. In addition, the hit determination value includes a hit determination value registered in the normal low probability determination table in which the hit probability is low probability, and a hit determination value registered in the high probability determination table at the time of high probability after probability variation big hit For example, the number of hit determination values at high probability is about 10 times the number of hit determination values at normal time (low probability). Thereby, the jackpot probability at the time of high probability is about 10 times that at the time of low probability.

When the acquired value of the winning random number matches the winning determination value, it becomes a big hit, and when it does not match, it becomes a deviation.
Whether the low probability determination table or the high probability determination table is used depends on whether the probability state controlled as described above is a high probability state or a low probability state. It is determined.
In this embodiment, the same hit determination value as the hit determination value in the low probability determination table is included as the hit determination value in the high probability determination table, and it becomes a big hit in comparison with the hit determination value in the low probability determination table. The hit determination random number becomes a big hit even when compared with the hit determination value of the high probability determination table.

The design random number determines the type of special figure displayed on the first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b. If the special figure game is out of place, for example, one type of special figure is displayed. In the case of a jackpot, a plurality of special charts are set for each jackpot type, for example, a normal jackpot and a probabilistic jackpot, and a special chart associated with the design random number is selected.
Therefore, in the case of a jackpot, whether the jackpot is a normal jackpot or a probabilistic jackpot is determined by the design random number.

  In addition, the production random number determines the fluctuation pattern including the display time of the special figure game. In the case of outage, whether or not the reach is reached, in the case of reach, the normal reach is short or the display time is It is what determines whether it will be a long super reach or premium reach. In the case of a big hit, the reach is determined, and the type of reach production such as normal reach or super reach is determined. The main controller 14 as a variation pattern selection means, when selecting a variation pattern, performs lottery according to a variation pattern data table composed of a combination of a plurality of variation patterns and a lottery probability set for each type of loss or jackpot. Select the variation pattern.

  Reach is a state in which some decorative symbols that are displayed in a stopped state are confirmed and some are still displayed in a variable state in a variable display game. In the case where three decorative symbols are displayed, two decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, and there is a possibility of a big hit at the stage where one decorative symbol is still variably displayed. In other words, the reach is a state in which the possibility of winning the game remains without determining the loss until immediately before the variable display game is stopped and displayed to notify the jackpot or loss.

  The display of the special figure game is determined based on the above three random numbers, and the first and second special figure games are performed based on the result of the special figure game. Further, information (including the variation pattern) based on the lottery determination information is sent from the main control device 14 to the symbol control device 23, and display control of the variable symbol display game on the variable display device 3 is performed.

That is, when the main controller 14 starts the first special game or the second special game, the main controller 14 gives the symbol controller 23 data indicating either a big win or a loss based on the lottery result described above, The variation pattern data and the big hit type data in the case of a big win are transmitted, and a variable display game start command is transmitted.
Further, the main control device 14 obtains the random number when the symbol control device 23 acquires the random number as described above in order to display the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number on the variable display device 3. A command indicating that it has been acquired is output. In this case, it is distinguished whether the random number is acquired based on the start winning signal from the first starting winning ball detection sensor 53a or the random number is acquired based on the starting winning signal from the second start winning ball detection sensor 53b. Is output.

  In the symbol control device 23, the variable display game is displayed based on each of the above-described commands, and the first special figure hold number (31a) and the second special figure hold number (31b) are displayed based on a command indicating acquisition of a random number. Display. At this time, the first special figure reservation number (31a) and the second special figure reservation number (31b) are calculated as in the case of the main controller 14.

  Further, the symbol control device 23 stores game data as a game history after the above-described play start operation is performed when a play start button is operated as described later. That is, the number of executions of the variable display game is accumulated and stored for each input of the above-mentioned variable display game start command. In the case of a jackpot, the type of jackpot and the number of occurrences for each jackpot are stored. Note that the type of reach that has occurred may be stored, and the number of times of execution of the variable display game may be stored separately for, for example, normal time and probability change time. Moreover, it is good also as what memorize | stores the special figure at the time of jackpot with a jackpot type.

Further, the symbol control device 23 (sub-control device 16) performs processing for generating points. In the point generation process, when a play start operation including the input of the above-described symbol code is performed, the initial state of point accumulation (the state of raising the accumulated points) is entered, and points are accumulated based on a special figure game or the like thereafter. Is started. The generation of points in the present embodiment is performed when the above-described command indicating acquisition of random numbers is input from the main control device 14.
At this time, the number of holdings is 0, and neither the first special figure game nor the second special figure game is played, that is, even if random number information is acquired, the special figure game is started immediately. When the number of holds becomes 0 again, and when the random number information is acquired, either the first special figure game or the second special figure game is performed, and the reserved number is obtained by acquiring the random number. A difference is given to the point grant rate generated when the number is 1 or more (preferential treatment of the points to be given is performed).

Note that the latter case includes a case where the hold number when the random number is acquired is 0 and a case where the hold number is 1 or more. In this case, even if the number of holdings is 0, the number of holdings becomes 1 or more by acquiring random numbers because the special figure game is being executed.
Further, during the jackpot state in which the special variable winning device 6 is opened and closed, the special game is in a standby state until the jackpot state ends. This standby state is included in the execution period of the special figure game.

  In this example, points are given preferential treatment in the latter case than in the former case. That is, when a random number is acquired, if at least one of the number of first special figure reservations and the number of second special figure reservations is 1 or more, or 1 or more, the first special figure reservation number is acquired even if the random number is acquired. The point grant rate generated is larger than when the figure holding number and the second special figure holding number become zero. For example, when a random number is acquired, a point generated when at least one of the first special figure hold number and the second special figure hold number is 1 or more is set to 5, and even if the random number is acquired, the special figure game is immediately The points generated when the number of first special figure reservations and the number of second special figure reservations become 0 may be set to 1.

  It should be noted that when the first special figure hold number and the second special figure hold number when the random number is simply obtained are viewed, both the special figure hold numbers are 0, and at least one of the special figure hold numbers is 1 or more. In the case of, a difference may be added to the points to be generated. Also in this case, the point grant rate is increased when at least one special figure reservation number is 1 or more than when both special figure reservation numbers at the time of obtaining random numbers are zero.

In any of the cases described above, the point grant rate generated may be increased as the number of special figure reservations when a random number is acquired increases. For example, when the sum of the number of first special figure reservations and the number of second special figure reservations is 0, the number of points generated is set to a predetermined number (for example, 1), and the number of first special figure reservations when a random number is acquired thereafter Each time the sum of the second special figure holding number increases by 1, the generated points may be increased by a predetermined number (for example, 5). In this case, when one of the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number is the upper limit and the other is one less than the upper limit (for example, 4), the most generated points increase when a random number is acquired. If both the special figure hold numbers are equal to or higher than the upper limit, no random number is acquired and no points are generated.
In addition, a high-value point generation (specific flag generation) is performed on condition that the number of special figure reservations is the upper limit (first special figure reservation number = 4, second special figure reservation number = 4) The user may be given a privilege (such as a right to acquire a premium image).
In addition, when a command indicating acquisition of a random number is generated and points are generated as described above, a pre-read command for a pending variation display game that is executed after the variation display game is also input, and this suspension variation display It is determined whether or not the advance notice effect pattern (preliminary notice effect display) of the game pioneering is performed in the variable display game, and the advance notice effect display is displayed when it is determined that the advance notice effect display is performed. You may make it increase the point provision rate to produce | generate rather than the case where it does not perform. That is, based on whether or not a prior notice effect display is performed when generating a point, the point may be generated so that a point is further added to the generated point.

  In addition, when the first special figure hold number is 4 and the second special figure hold number is 4, that is, when both the special figure hold numbers are the upper limit, the variable display game in which this state is maintained continues. You may increase the point provision rate produced | generated, so that there are many frequency | counts. In addition, since the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number do not fall below the upper limit once, the reservation number is not added (random number is not acquired). When the first special figure game or the second special figure game is started in the state where the figure holding number is the upper limit, one of the first special figure holding number or the second special figure holding number is one less than the upper limit. Then, for example, by adding 1 to the number of reserved special figures that is one less than the upper limit by acquiring a random number, both of the reserved special figure numbers return to the upper limit state again.

Therefore, the number of times the upper limit state continues is the upper limit again from the state where the special figure hold number once becomes smaller than the upper limit during one variable display game without setting the special figure hold number to zero. This is the number of times this is repeated.
In this case, for example, the number of points generated may be increased by a predetermined number (for example, 10) each time the number of return to the upper limit is increased by one.

  In addition, when the number of the first special figure hold and the number of the second special figure hold is both 0, the time counting starts when one of the special figure hold number becomes 1, and then the random number is obtained. When both the number of 1 special figure hold and the number of 2nd special figure hold reaches the upper limit, and when the upper limit random number is acquired according to the measured time (for example, the shorter the time) The points may be increased. Alternatively, if the measured time is within a predetermined time, the points may be increased. In this case, for example, when the random number is acquired when the upper limit is reached, the point is increased by 100 if the measured time is within 3 minutes, 50 if within 5 minutes, and 10 if within 10 minutes. Good.

  Further, the number of executions of the variable display game since the last big hit state or the play start button is operated is calculated, and the number of executions of the variable display game after the big hit state is, for example, 500 or 1000 If the first special figure hold number and the second special figure hold number both become upper limits by acquiring a random number when the predetermined number of times is reached, the number of executions of the variable display game after the big hit state is as described above. As compared with the case of less than the case of, the generated point grant rate may be increased. That is, when the next big hit state does not occur easily, the point grant rate generated may be increased.

Also, once both the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number have reached the upper limit, the sum of the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number is a predetermined number (for example, 4). Below, again, the point grant rate generated when the number of the first special figure hold and the number of the second special figure hold both become the upper limit (when the random number is acquired and the upper limit) is increased. May be.
In this case, the sum of the number of the first special figure hold and the number of the second special figure hold is constantly monitored. For example, every time the special figure game is started, the number of the special figure hold reaches the upper limit of eight. It is determined whether or not If it becomes 4 or less, it is determined whether or not it becomes 8 when the random number is acquired again. If it becomes 8, for example, a predetermined number (for example, 100) is generated as a point generated for the acquisition of the random number. ) Points may be increased.

  Also, depending on the type of jackpot that has occurred, it is determined whether the current gaming state after the jackpot state is a probabilistic state, a short-time state, a normal state, etc., and the point grant rate when acquiring random numbers is replaced by the gaming state May be. For example, the number of points generated in the normal state may be a predetermined number more than the points generated in the probability variation state or the short time state, or may be multiplied by a predetermined number.

In the normal state, there are few opportunities for the normally variable winning device 5 to be opened and the opening time is short. Therefore, the above-described distribution guiding device 7 alternately turns the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b. There is a high possibility that the game ball will win, and there is a high possibility that the first special figure hold number and the second special figure hold number will be added alternately. In the probability variation state or the short time state, which is the electric chew support state, the normal variation prize-winning device 5 is frequently opened and the opening time becomes long. Therefore, the number of winnings per unit time of the game ball to the second starting port 5b is The number of winnings per unit time of the game ball to the first starting port 5a is considerably larger, and the first special figure hold number and the second special figure hold number are not alternately added. However, since the fluctuation display time of the special figure game is a short fluctuation display time in the probability variation state or the like as compared with the normal game, it is difficult for the special figure reservation number to become the upper limit.
Also, in the normal gaming state, when a game ball wins continuously at one start opening, the fluctuation display time of one special figure game is shortened so that the fluctuation of the other special figure game starts immediately. You may make it improve special figure fluctuation efficiency.
In addition, when a game is played in a state where the play start button is not operated, a point generation process not displayed on the point display unit 45 is performed, and an effect change (data table change) according to the total number of points accumulated during the game May be performed.

As described above, the points generated by the symbol control device 23 are accumulated and stored each time they are generated. The integrated value of the points is displayed on the point display unit 45, for example. Note that the points are displayed by integrating the points generated during the play period from when the play start operation is performed to when the play end operation is performed.
It is also possible to differentiate the point values such as gold points, silver points, and copper points so that they can be acquired according to the point granting state. Naturally, when a lot of high-value points can be collected, it is preferable to give a profit that gives the player a sense of superiority.

In addition, the symbol control device 23 displays a notice effect in addition to the effect display of the change display game based on the change pattern. The notice effect display is, for example, an interruptive effect display that suggests the possibility that the variable display game will be a big hit at a predetermined timing from the start of the variable display game to the special figure variable stop display for notifying the success / failure result. .
There are a plurality of types of notice effect display. For example, there are those in which a predetermined character appears on the screen displaying the variable display game, and those in which a specific image is displayed in the background on the screen displaying the variable display game. Each type of notice effect display has a plurality of types of effect patterns with different degrees of reliability. The notice effect display of this embodiment is basically set in two stages. That is, here, first, as a notice display effect, a type in which a character (an image that is operated separately from a pattern (special image) to be changed on the screen of the variable display device 3) appears, and a background image (variable display device 3). There is a type in which the stage image of the background of the design (special figure) to be changed on the screen changes. There are different types (effect patterns) of the type of characters that appear, different types of clothes, clothes, actions, etc. (effect patterns), and different types of background images (effect patterns) that are displayed.
The special symbol is a notification of the success / failure result or the type of jackpot in the case of a jackpot according to the combination of symbols to be stopped after changing a plurality of symbols.

  The reliability that is a big hit of the type of the effect pattern of the notice effect display is low if, for example, the appearance rate is high when the variable display game is lost and the appearance rate is low when it is a big win. On the contrary, the reliability of the jackpot is high if the appearance rate is low when the variable display game is lost, and is high if the appearance rate is high. However, the reliability is determined by the relative relationship between the appearance rate in the case of loss and the case of jackpot. For example, if the appearance rate in case of loss is 0 even if the appearance rate in jackpot is low The reliability is the highest.

At the time of displaying the notice effect, display data for displaying the notice effect is stored in the symbol control device in correspondence with each kind of effect pattern of each kind of notice effect display.
Further, in the symbol control device, it is determined by lottery whether or not to display the notice effect display of each effect pattern for each type of notice effect display. In one type of notice effect display, it is assumed that a plurality of types of effect patterns are not displayed during one variation display game. That is, it is assumed that an effect pattern with high reliability and an effect pattern with low reliability are not displayed simultaneously.

  For example, when a character appears as an effect pattern, the effect pattern is a first effect pattern in which a character in blue clothes passes through the screen, and the character in blue clothes does not pass through the screen. A second production pattern that stays for a predetermined time at a time, a third production pattern that a blue clothing character does not pass through the screen and stays on the screen for a predetermined time and dances, and a rainbow-colored clothing character passes through the screen A fourth effect pattern in which a dancer dances while staying on the screen for a predetermined time, and a fifth effect pattern in which a large number of characters in different colors stay on the screen for a predetermined time and dance without moving through the screen. There shall be. In this case, one of these effect patterns is selected and displayed by lottery (none may be displayed).

In this case, there is a data table for setting a lottery probability for each type of effect pattern, and there are two types of data tables: a case where a variable display game is won and a case where it is off.
It should be noted that a data table may be provided for each variation pattern in the case of loss and each variation pattern in the case of winning.
Here, the specific configuration of the data table is, for example, to acquire a random number as a numerical value selected from a numerical range of 0 to 255, for example, at the time of lottery. On the other hand, in the data table, numerical values are respectively assigned to six types of effect patterns obtained by adding the 0th pattern in which no character appears to the first to fifth effect patterns described above.

  In the data table in the case of an outage, a value of 0 to 99 is assigned to the 0th effect pattern, a value of 100 to 199 is assigned to the first effect pattern, and a value of 200 to 239 is assigned to the second effect pattern. Are assigned, numerical values from 240 to 253 are assigned to the third effect pattern, and 254 and 255 are assigned to the fourth effect pattern. The fifth effect pattern is not assigned to the outlier data table.

Therefore, since the fifth effect pattern appears only when the jackpot is reached, the effect pattern has a reliability of 100%, and when it appears, the jackpot is confirmed.
In the data table in the case of the big hit, a numerical value of 0 to 4 is assigned to the 0th effect pattern, a numerical value of 5 to 9 is assigned to the first effect pattern, and a value of 10 to 99 is assigned to the second effect pattern. Are assigned, numerical values from 100 to 199 are assigned to the third effect pattern, 200 to 253 are assigned to the fourth effect pattern, and 254 and 255 are assigned to the fifth effect pattern.

Since the random number acquired at the time of the lottery is any one of 0 to 255, the effect pattern of the notice effect display associated with the numerical value matching the acquired random number is selected by the lottery.
Further, the lottery probability of the effect pattern of each notice effect display is the number of numerical values (for example, 256) included in the numerical value range that the denominator takes a random number, and is the number of numerical values assigned to each effect pattern. Therefore, in the fifth effect pattern, the lottery probability (appearance probability) in the case of a loss is 0, and the lottery probability in the case of a win is 2/255. Since the fifth effect pattern appears only in the case of a jackpot, the effect pattern has a reliability of 100%, and if it appears, the jackpot is confirmed.
In addition, the appearance rate of the notice effect display serving as the fifth effect pattern is extremely low, and the premium notice effect display that rarely appears is obtained.

In this embodiment, in addition to the pattern table described above, the value obtained by accumulating points during the play period is a predetermined number or more, and the sum of the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number is a predetermined number or more. The data table used in this case is set. This data table is, for example, a big hit data table, a numerical value of 0 to 4 is assigned to the 0th effect pattern, a numerical value of 5 to 9 is assigned to the first effect pattern, and the second Numerical values from 10 to 29 are assigned to the effect pattern, numerical values from 39 to 59 are assigned to the third effect pattern, 6089 is assigned to the fourth effect pattern, and 90 to 255 are assigned to the fifth effect pattern. Assigned.
According to this data table, in the case of a big hit, the fifth performance pattern appears with a high probability.

In the data table used when the value obtained by accumulating points during the play period is a predetermined number or more and the sum of the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number is a predetermined number or more. The above-mentioned numerical value assigned to the effect pattern is an example. For example, all the numerical values from 0 to 255 may be assigned to the fifth effect pattern, and the fifth effect pattern may always appear in the case of a big hit. .
Also, in the case of a loss, it is used when the value obtained by accumulating points during the play period is a predetermined number or more and the sum of the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number is a predetermined number or more. A data table may be provided. In this case, the fifth effect pattern may appear at a high appearance rate even if it is off.

  In this pachinko gaming machine, as shown in FIG. 6, the member website 96 (Web server 93, ApI server 94, database 95) and the pachinko gaming machine 91 cooperate via a mobile phone 92 as a mobile terminal. As one game system, game data including the points is handled.

In the pachinko machine 91, the game history information (accumulated history points) is based on the input of the symbol code by the display of the play information screen of the variable display device 3 being demonstrated and the input device 21 in the state of waiting for execution of the special figure game. In addition, after the predetermined personal information is registered with the gaming machine, the symbol control device 23 performs the above-described operation during the play period from the input of the start of play to the input of the end of play. As described above, game data such as the number of executions of the variable display game and the number of occurrences of the jackpot state are collected and stored. In the symbol control device 23, points are generated for each income of random numbers and the generated points are integrated. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 91, when the play end information is input, a binary code in which the game data information including the information of the points and the URL information of the Web site 96 are registered as data is generated, This can be displayed on the above-described two-dimensional code display unit 46 of the variable display device 3 so as to be readable by the mobile phone 92.
Note that, based on the input of the play end information, the game data information including the accumulated point information is initialized (cleared).
Also, when displaying the points accumulated from the start of play to the end of play when displaying the two-dimensional code, if the initial value point has been raised beforehand based on the input of the symbol code, the point raised You may make it perform the process which subtracts.

  By photographing and reading the two-dimensional code displayed on the two-dimensional code display unit 46 with the camera of the mobile phone 92, information on the game data including the above-described points and the URL of the website is read. . Based on this URL, it becomes possible to access the Web site.

  If the member registration is not performed when the member website 96 is accessed, the user is prompted to perform the member registration based on information such as an electric field number or an e-mail address of the mobile phone. The Web site 96 stores a Web server 93 for publishing the Web site 96 on the Internet, an ApI server 94 for executing a program (application) on the Web site 93, and data obtained by executing the application. And a database 95 to be managed.

  In the web site 96 realized by each of the servers described above, a member is specified by unique information (IP address, mac address, e-mail address, telephone number, etc.) output from each mobile phone that accessed the web site 96, The game data including the points included in the two-dimensional code displayed on the variable display device 3 in association with each member is stored in the database. At this time, if point information or game data information is already stored, a process of adding data such as the point input this time to data such as an existing point is performed as a data analysis process. For example, in the game data, the execution of the variable display game performed during the current play period, such as the number of executions of the already registered variable display game, the number of jackpots for each type of jackpot, the number of occurrences for each type of reach, etc. The number of times, the number of jackpots for each jackpot type, the number of occurrences for each type of reach, and the like are added.

Also, from these data, for example, calculate the average number of executions of the variable display game until the big hit, calculate the occurrence probability for each type of jackpot, calculate the occurrence probability for each type of reach, etc. Perform analysis processing.
The game data and the analyzed data can be browsed by accessing the member-only page of the Web site 96.

  Further, when points obtained during the play period are added as described above, data download points (download points) may be generated corresponding to the added points. In this case, the download point may be the same for the points to be added, or the value may be converted so that the download point 1 is given to the point 10, for example.

  On the website, as a privilege for points, for example, the image data of the standby screen of the mobile phone 92, the ringtone and the sound data of music can be downloaded. Image data and sound data can be downloaded in exchange for download points set in the image data and sound data. Therefore, when image data or sound data is downloaded to the mobile phone 92, the download points are subtracted and reduced. In the present embodiment, the total number of accumulated points (pure accumulated history points) is not reduced but is simply added. In order to obtain a new download point, it is necessary to add points generated by playing a game on the gaming machine again on the website.

  Also, when downloading image data and sound data, depending on the value of the points registered in the above-mentioned two-dimensional code, it may be divided into a case where only image data can be downloaded and a state where only sound data can be downloaded. Good. For example, data can be downloaded when the number of points registered in the two-dimensional barcode is 500 points or more, and image data can be downloaded when the points are 500 to 599, 700 to 799, 900 to 999. The image data may be downloadable when the points are 600 to 699, 800 to 899, 1000 to 1099.

  Further, the image data may be downloaded when the point is an odd number, and the sound data may be downloaded when the point is an even number. In this case, if the player wants to download the sound data but the point is a point where only the image data can be downloaded, the player can play the game again with the pachinko machine and download the sound data. The sound data may be downloaded, and the player can be encouraged to play the game with the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment.

  Next, a process of generating a symbol code is performed corresponding to the integrated value of the total points including the previous part and the current part. The symbol code is, for example, a code made up of a plurality of symbols (including letters and numbers). In practice, for example, a symbol code is formed by arranging a predetermined number of symbols such as six, and is composed of a permutation of symbols.

  The symbol code is associated with each point value, for example, and the symbol code can be converted with respect to the point value. That is, a point corresponding to each permutation of the symbol code is set, and the point can be converted into the symbol code. Although the conversion method is not limited, for example, a symbol code may be set every 1000 points, 1 to 1000 are converted to the symbol code “aaa123”, and 100 to 2000 are the symbol codes. It may be converted to “ababsd”. That is, a point may be converted into a symbol using a data table in which each symbol code is associated with each point range.

Also, instead of converting only points into symbol codes, processing to increase points based on the number of executions of the variable display game, the number of jackpots, etc., or setting the game driving level (for example, beginner to intermediate to advanced) Alternatively, the information may be converted into a symbol code so as to include information on increased points or game driving levels. For example, when the number of executions of the variable display game exceeds 10,000, it may be converted into a symbol code after performing an analysis process of doubling the points.
For example, the generated symbol code may be disclosed on a member page dedicated to each member of the Web site, or may be notified to the member's mobile phone 92 by e-mail.

In the pachinko machine, the symbol code can be input by the input device 21 described above, and if the symbol code is not input by entering the symbol code when the play start information is input, see An effect display that could not be performed can be seen. For example, as a variation pattern of reach production, in addition to a variation pattern that appears when a symbol code is not input, a variation pattern of the same variation time corresponding to a predetermined variation pattern when a symbol code is not input is displayed for each symbol. When a symbol code is input, the corresponding variation pattern can be selected. For example, for premium reach fluctuation patterns when no symbol code is input, data for different premium reach fluctuation patterns for the same fluctuation time is set for each symbol code. Instead of a predetermined premium reach variation pattern in the case of input, a variation pattern corresponding to a symbol code is selected.
As a result, the premium reach character and the character behavior differ depending on whether the symbol code is not input or when each symbol code is input. Further, when the input symbol code is different, the premium reach character is different or the character's action is different.

A game method in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment and a process of controlling the pachinko gaming machine related to the game will be described.
FIG. 7 is a symbol control of a pachinko gaming machine that generates and accumulates (adds) points during a play period, collects and stores game data, and outputs a two-dimensional code including these points and game data at the end of play. The point processing in the apparatus 23 is shown.

In the pachinko machine, first, when the player sits in the seat of the pachinko machine, the pachinko machine does not play the variable display game as before, so the state of waiting for the execution of the special game, or Demonstration display is performed.
In this demonstration display, for example, a display prompting member registration by accessing the member website of the pachinko gaming machine from a mobile phone is performed.

In addition, the push button switch 21a of the input device 21 is pressed, and a display prompting the user to input the symbol code and play start information is performed.
In this situation, the symbol control device 23 determines whether or not the variable display device 3 is in a standby state for executing the special figure game, or whether a demonstration display is being performed (step S1). Note that this process is a process that is performed every time the main process is executed in the real-time process, for example, and always monitors whether a special game is on standby or a demonstration display is being performed. It becomes processing. If the special game is waiting to be executed, or if no demonstration display is performed, the process is terminated.

  Next, when the special figure game is in a standby state or when a demonstration display is being performed, it is determined whether or not the push button 21a of the input device 21 has been pushed, and processing is performed until the push button 21a is pushed. A standby state is entered (step S2). In addition, here, when the push button 21a is actually pressed, a play information screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, and the cursor is moved to the play start display section 41 with the jog dial 21b and the push button switch 21a is pressed. The symbol code can be input, and the symbol code information and the play start information are input to the symbol control device 23.

  In addition, in the effect display of the variable display game based on the input of the symbol code, when the symbol code is not input, a reach effect that does not appear or has a low appearance rate can appear.

If there is no input of symbol code information and play start information even when the push button switch 21a is pressed, after a predetermined time, the screen again returns to the state of waiting for the execution of the special figure game or the demonstration screen. It will be in the state which waits for switch 21a to be pushed.
When the player launches the game ball without pressing the push button switch 21a and the variable display game is started, the state of waiting for execution of the special figure game or the display of the demonstration screen is ended. This process ends.

When the symbol code information and the play start information are input, it is during the play period, the game ball is launched by the player, and the game ball is won by the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b. When the random number information is acquired and the main control device 14 notifies the symbol control device 23 that the random number information has been acquired as a command, a process of generating points is performed. In the generation of points, when a random number is acquired as described above, the generated points change depending on the state of the special figure hold number, the history of the special figure hold number, the game state, and the like.
The generated points are sequentially accumulated and stored in a memory such as a RAM of the symbol control device 23.

The number of executions of the variable display game, the number of occurrences of jackpots for each jackpot type, and the like are stored as game data based on commands from the start of the variable display game and the main control device 14 indicating the jackpot or jackpot type ( Step S3).
In the state of waiting for execution of the special figure game or in the state of demonstration, the play end information is input to the symbol control device 23 by moving the cursor to the play end display unit 41 with the jog dial 21b and pressing the push button switch 21a. It is in a state of waiting for whether or not to be performed (step S4).

The play information screen including the play end display unit 41 is displayed by pressing the push button switch 21a during the special game execution standby state or the demonstration screen as described above.
When the play end information is input, the point generation, game data collection and storage process is completed, and the point value, the number of executions of the variable display game as game data, the number of jackpot occurrences for each jackpot type, etc. Arranged in a predetermined order, these data are converted into a two-dimensional code by a well-known two-dimensional code conversion method to generate a two-dimensional code, and the variable display of the pachinko gaming machine in a state where the two-dimensional code has finished the game It is displayed on the two-dimensional code display part 46 of the apparatus 3 (step S5).

  The displayed two-dimensional code is read by the mobile phone 92, and the member web site 96 is accessed according to the URL included in the two-dimensional code, and the points and games registered in the two-dimensional code as described above. Data can be registered in the database 95 in correspondence with the above-mentioned unique information that can identify the mobile phone 92, and the game data history, point history, and analysis data thereof can be browsed.

  Next, the point generation process in the above point process will be described. Here, not only the generation of points but also the appearance rate of the notice effect display with a very low appearance rate as a privilege process corresponding to the point is increased, and a notice effect display that is rarely seen as a privilege for the point can be seen Processing to increase the possibility.

  In the point generation process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a start prize. In the symbol control device 23, when a command indicating that a random number has been acquired in response to the start winning from the main control device 14 to the starting openings 5a and 5b is input, it is determined that there is a start winning signal. (Step S11).

Here, the system waits until a start prize is received and monitors the start prize. If there is a start prize, the process proceeds to the next process.
Since the random number is acquired based on the start winning prize, in response to the input of the starting winning signal from the first starting winning ball detection sensor 53a or the input of the starting winning signal from the second start winning ball detection sensor 53b, The first special figure hold number or the second special figure hold number is incremented by 1 as described above and stored (step S12).

  Next, it is determined what is the sum of the number of first special figure reservations and the number of second special figure reservations (step S13). In the state where the variable display game is not currently being played and in the state where the variable display game corresponding to the random number acquired as described above is immediately started, 2 The sum of the number of special figure holds is set to 0.

Next, the current game state is determined from, for example, a command from the main control device 14 or the type of the previous jackpot state. That is, it is determined whether the normal state, the probability variation state, or the time-short state (step S14).
Points to be generated as described above are determined from the sum value of the above-mentioned first special figure hold number and second special figure hold number and the current gaming state (step S15). Here, the larger the sum of the number of the first special figure hold and the number of the second special figure hold, the higher the points, and the higher the point grant rate in the normal state than in the probability variation state or the short time state ( Depending on the game characteristics, the point grant rate may be lower in the normal state). Further, even when the game profit (so-called winning ball) is small (so-called small number of rounds or short open time of the attacker), the point grant rate is increased.

Next, the generated points are accumulated, and the value of points accumulated during the play period from the start of play (if accumulated history point information has been registered by the input of the symbol code, the total including the accumulated points) It is determined whether or not (value) is equal to or greater than a predetermined number and whether the current sum of the number of first special figure reservations and the number of second special figure reservations is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, an upper limit) (step S16).
When the accumulated point value is equal to or greater than the predetermined number and the sum of the number of the first special figure reservation and the number of the second special figure reservation is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the appearance rate is extremely low as described above (appearance rate For example, the data table for lottery of the notice effect display (premium notice effect display) including the premier image (the image rarely seen due to the low appearance rate) as the notice effect display is below the predetermined appearance rate. As a result, the appearance rate of the premium notice effect display is increased (step S17).

At the start of the variable display game, a lottery for premium notice effect display is performed using the changed data table. At this time, there is a possibility that the premium notice effect display is selected and displayed with a high probability (step S18).
Thereby, when the value of the accumulated points is not less than a predetermined number and the sum of the number of first special figure reservations and the number of second special figure reservations is not less than a predetermined number, Since the lottery is performed in the data table, even if the premium notice effect display is not selected in the lottery in the variable display game when the condition is satisfied, the possibility that the premium notice effect display is performed in the subsequent variable display game is high. Thus, if the game is continued, the player is highly likely to see the premium notice effect display.

In the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment as described above, in the normal state in which the electric chew support is not performed, the game is alternately performed by the sorting guidance device 7 between the first start port 5a and the second start port 5b. The ball is likely to win. Further, the first special figure game and the second special figure game are started in the order of winning of the game balls to the first and second start openings 5a and 5b.
In the above state, it is possible to play a game close to the case where the upper limit of the number of holds for one start port is set to 8 which is twice the conventional value.

  As described above, when a random number is acquired, that is, when an opportunity to start a variable display game is obtained, a point can be generated and given to a player with a pachinko gaming machine, and according to the point When a special privilege is given to a player, points are generated when the special figure hold number becomes 1 or more than when the special figure hold number becomes 0 when a random number is acquired. By increasing the rate, it is possible to improve the player's consciousness of continuing to store the special figure hold number, and to suppress the stop of the launch of the game ball.

Note that the present invention may be applied to a pachinko gaming machine that does not include the sorting guidance device 7. In this case, there may be one start port and one special figure game. In addition, the generated points may not be output to the outside using a binary code or the like, but may be used while the pachinko gaming machine is used to display the premium notice effect display as described above. In addition, as a condition for increasing the appearance probability of the premium notice effect display, the number of points is a predetermined number or more and the sum of the numbers of both special figure holds is a predetermined number or more. For example, the appearance probability of the premium notice effect display may be increased.
In the above-described embodiment, it is desired to generate and accumulate points for each start winning prize, and update and store them. However, the number of special figure reservations exceeds 1 or a specific number of reservations (for example, the upper limit of reservation). Points may be generated as conditions.

  In addition, by increasing the generated points as the number of special figure reservations increases, by setting the number of special figure reservations to be the upper limit, or by setting the upper limit, it is possible to obtain a high point, It is possible to suppress the player from stopping the launch of the game ball.

In the variable display game of the above embodiment, whether or not an advantageous winning game state (round game that opens and closes the attacker (6)) is changed based on a lottery triggered by detection of a game ball at the start (start winning prize). An example related to a special game for performing a lottery display by a combination mode of execution of a variable display by a plurality of special figures and a special figure stop display after the special figure change is provided.
However, in the present invention, a movable accessory (electric tulip (5) provided on the game board (game area) based on a lottery triggered by detection of a game ball at the start port (passing through the through chucker (8a)). )) In a state advantageous for winning a game ball (opening and closing of the movable piece), execution of a variable display according to the ordinary diagram regarding the effect of transition, and a lottery result according to the mode of the normal map stop display after the variation of the normal map The present invention can also be applied to a general game that performs notification.
