Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine having a holding means for holding and storing a winning ball, and in particular, when a winning ball is held and lottery is performed during a big hit process, and a big hit is won, a big big hit continues. It is related with the pachinko machine provided with the function to produce as if performed.

  Conventionally, when a ball enters a specific start winning opening, the three rows of symbols on the symbol display device are displayed in a variable manner so as to flow from top to bottom, and then the symbols are stopped and displayed on a predetermined judgment line. Pachinko machines that win a lot of game balls are widely used because a special winning state, that is, a big win, opens a big winning opening of the variable winning device when predetermined symbols are arranged.

  In addition, this type of pachinko gaming machine performs a big hit lottery immediately when a game ball wins at the starting winning opening during the fluctuation of the symbol on the symbol display device, and stores the winning ball as a holding ball. A display device is provided, and at present, the storage display device can store and display a maximum of four winning balls.

  The reserved balls that are stored and stored in the storage display device are subjected to a lottery lottery when each winning ball wins a start winning opening, and lottery result information is added to each reserved ball. Then, with the passage of time, the symbols on the symbol display device are displayed in a variable manner so that the reserved balls are used in order from the previously held balls. A pachinko gaming machine with such a winning ball holding function is known from the following Patent Document 1 or the like, and when a big hit occurs by lottery for the holding ball that has been held, on the display of the symbol display device, The notice effect display is performed.

On the other hand, conventionally, in the following Patent Document 2, etc., the symbol display unit is provided with a main symbol display unit and a pseudo symbol display unit, the main symbol display unit displays a variation symbol based on the lottery result, and the pseudo symbol display unit includes In addition, pachinko machines that display various effect screens that are not based on the lottery result are known.
JP 2001-340571 A Japanese Patent No. 2954859

  However, in the pachinko gaming machine described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when a big hit occurs by lottery for the reserved balls held during the big hit, after the big hit effect is finished, the symbol variation based on the digestion of the held balls is performed, Since a notice effect is started after a while, there is a problem that the expectation for the big hit tends to be thinned. Moreover, since the announcement effect similar to the announcement effect at the time of the last big hit is also displayed, there is a problem that the interest in the pachinko game is easily reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and at the time of symbol variation based on the digestion of the reserved ball performed after the big hit process, while improving the interest for pachinko games while maintaining the expectation by effectively producing It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine that can be played.

In order to achieve the above object, a pachinko machine according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a symbol display device for displaying a symbol in a variable manner when a game ball is won at a start winning opening, and a lottery for performing a big hit lottery when a game ball is won. Means, and when the game ball is won at the start winning opening during the variation display of the symbol display device, there is a hold storage display means for storing the winning and displaying the reserved ball, the symbol of the symbol display device In pachinko machines that are in a big hit state when stopped in line with a predetermined arrangement, the symbol display unit displays a pseudo symbol on the symbol display device and a book that variably displays this symbol based on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery A symbol display section is provided, and after the jackpot processing is finished, while the symbol display based on the digestion of the holding ball is performed on the symbol display section, the jackpot end effect screen associated with the jackpot effect is displayed on the pseudo symbol display section. Shown, when the lottery result of the pending sphere during pending the stored pending spheres digestion was big hit, switch to the jackpot continuing effect screen showing the continuation of the jackpot associated from jackpot end effect screen to the previous jackpot effect display It is characterized by displaying.

  Here, as in the second aspect, the display of fluctuation of the main symbol based on the digestion of the reserved ball in the main symbol display unit can be started from the time when the previous jackpot process is completed.

  Further, as shown in claim 3, after the jackpot end effect screen is displayed on the pseudo-symbol display unit, it is possible to perform a variable display of the main symbol on the main symbol display unit.

  Further, as in claim 4, when the lottery result of all the held balls held during the big hit processing is other than the big hit, the jackpot end effect screen is switched to a screen showing another end to end the big hit Can be displayed.

  Further, as in claim 5, the big hit continuation effect screen is displayed until the next big hit processing is started after the big hit determination is made, and the next big hit processing first round following the big hit continuation effect screen is displayed. Can be configured to be displayed on the pseudo-symbol display unit.

In the pachinko gaming machine with the above configuration, when a game ball wins a winning prize opening or a holding ball is digested during a game, a big hit lottery is performed, and the symbol display is variably displayed on the symbol display section. A big hit occurs when the symbols stop in line with a predetermined symbol. When a big hit occurs, the big prize opening of the variable prize winning device is opened, and the operation is carried out over a plurality of rounds. On the display unit, a jackpot end effect screen associated with the jackpot effect is displayed, and if the reserved ball lottery result is a big hit when digesting the reserved ball stored on hold , the previous jackpot effect screen is displayed from the jackpot end effect screen. It operates so as to switch to and display the big hit continuation effect screen showing the big hit continuation in relation to the display.

Accordingly , when the lottery result of the reserved ball is a big hit at the time of digestion of the held ball, the next big hit and the previous big hit are much larger by displaying a screen indicating continuation on the pseudo-symbol display unit. It can be shown as if a big jackpot has been generated, and the player can feel as if a huge jackpot has been obtained, and can improve the interest in pachinko games.

  In addition, even if the lottery result cannot be confirmed for the reserved ball that is stored during the big hit process, an effective jackpot end screen is displayed after the big hit ends, so that the symbol can be displayed based on the digestion of the reserved ball. Even during the variable display, the player can continue to have a sense of expectation for the big hit, and the game performance of the pachinko can be improved.

The symbol display device 10 is configured by setting a small main symbol display unit 10a at the lower right of the display and further providing a pseudo symbol display unit 10b at the center of the display. Then, on the small main symbol display portion 10a, for example, a plurality of main symbols arranged in three rows (the symbols that change based on the lottery at the time of starting winning) are sequentially circulated from top to bottom and displayed in a variable manner. In addition, on the pseudo symbol display portion 10b in the center, for example, a pseudo symbol consisting of a plurality of numbers and pictures (a symbol that fluctuates without being based on a lottery at the time of starting winning) is displayed so as to flow from top to bottom. In addition to the notice effect screen and the jackpot effect screen at the time of reach, a jackpot ending screen and a jackpot continuation screen after the jackpot as described below are displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a holding ball display portion 10c for holding balls is provided at the lower part of the symbol display device 10, and when a game ball wins further at the start winning opening 13 during the change of the symbol, the winning prize is displayed. The ball is stored as a holding ball and the number of the holding balls is displayed. The reserved ball display unit 10c displays the number of held balls in the range of 0 to 4 by lighting the lamp or a picture. The holding ball is counted in the range of 0 to 4 by the holding counter. As the counting means, a holding ball counter area is set in the RAM 23 of the main control unit 20 as will be described later. Accumulated and stored in the range of 0 to 4.

  A start winning opening 13 is provided below the central position of the symbol display device 10, and a normal winning opening 12 and a passing gate 4 are disposed on both sides of the start winning opening 13. A variable winning apparatus 11 is provided below the starting winning opening 13. Provided. The start winning opening 13 has an openable / closable blade 13c. The blade is opened and closed by the start winning opening solenoid 13b, and the winning ball is detected by the start winning opening detector 14 disposed on the inside thereof. The variable winning device 11 is provided with an opening / closing member 11a for opening and closing the big winning opening so as to be opened and closed by a large winning opening solenoid 11c.

  A special winning opening called a V zone is provided in the large winning opening of the variable winning device 11, and a continuous winning opening detector 19 for detecting a ball that has won the specific winning opening is provided on the inside thereof. A large winning opening detector 18 is provided for detecting a ball that has won a prize in the mouth. A counter that counts the number of winning balls won in the winning opening is provided in, for example, a specific memory area of the RAM, and when the count value reaches 9, for example, the opening / closing member 11a of the variable winning device 11 is closed. One opening of the opening / closing member 11a is defined as one round, and the round is renewed when a winning is made in a specific winning opening within a predetermined time, and the opening / closing member 11a is opened up to 16 rounds, that is, 16 times. Further, when a game ball wins the passing gate 4 on both sides of the start winning opening 13 or the normal winning opening 12, the blade 13c of the starting winning opening 13 operates so as to be opened for a predetermined time by the start winning opening solenoid 13b.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control system of the pachinko gaming machine controls the basic operation of the pachinko game and outputs a symbol variation command when a start condition is established, and the symbol variation command from the main control unit 20 The symbol control unit 30 that controls the variable display of symbols, the voice control unit 40 that controls the generation of voice by inputting command data from the main control unit 20, and the command data from the main control unit 20 receives the decoration The lamp control unit 50 controls lighting of the lamp.

  The main control unit 20 performs a control process associated with a pachinko game based on a prestored program, a read-only ROM 22 for storing the game program, temporarily stores data, and functions as a work area for the CPU 21 And a RAM 23 and an input / output circuit 24. In the RAM 23, an area for counting and storing the number of held winning balls as a holding counter is set in the RAM 23. The hold counter counts up to four winning balls from 1 to 4, for example, and stores them. The value of the holding counter is displayed on the holding ball display unit 10 c of the symbol display device 10. The RAM 23 is backed up by a backup power source so that the memory is retained even in the event of a power failure.

  Further, the main control unit 20 is provided with a random number generator 25 (for example, a random number counter that repeatedly generates random numbers within a predetermined range) for performing a big hit lottery. When the game ball wins the start winning opening 13 during the game, the CPU 21 obtains a random number from the random number generator 25 and performs a lottery lottery, and starts symbol fluctuation in the symbol display unit 10a of the symbol display device 10. If there are more winning balls while the symbol is changing, add 1 to the holding counter to hold the winning ball, increase the holding display on the holding ball display unit 10c, and hold up to four held balls Remember. In addition, the CPU 21 also acquires a random number from the random number generator 25 for the holding ball to be held, performs a lottery lottery, attaches the lottery information, and stores the holding ball.

  Further, the CPU 21 of the main control unit 20 outputs a symbol variation command to the symbol control unit 30, the voice control unit 40, and the lamp control unit 50 based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery. The symbol control unit 30, the voice control unit 40, and the lamp control unit 50 that have input these symbol variation commands select and determine various presentation programs such as reach, reach notice, miss, and jackpot stored in advance. Configured as follows.

  Similar to the main control unit 20, the voice control unit 40 includes a CPU unit as a main unit, and the CPU 41 performs various operations from the speaker 45 according to the progress of the pachinko game based on a program stored in the ROM 42 in advance. Generate sound. When a start condition such as when winning at the start winning opening 13 is established, an effect program is determined based on a symbol variation command sent from the main control unit 20, and data for generating sound corresponding to the effect program is generated. Read from the ROM 42 and generate sound from the speaker 45.

  The lamp control unit 50 is configured with a CPU unit as a main part, similar to the main control unit 20, and the CPU 51 is arranged on the side of the front of the gaming machine according to the progress of the pachinko game based on the program stored in the ROM 52 in advance. Decorative lamps 56 to 58 such as lamps are turned on or blinked. When a start condition such as when winning at the start winning opening 13 is established, an effect program is determined based on the symbol variation command sent from the main control unit 20, data corresponding to the effect program is read from the ROM 52, and the data Based on the above, the decoration lamps 56 to 58 such as side lamps are turned on or blinked.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the explanatory diagram of FIG. In FIG. 3, during a pachinko game, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 13, the start winning opening detector 14 detects the ball and a start winning is detected.

  At this time, the CPU 21 proceeds from step 100 to step 110 to determine whether or not the number of holds stored in the hold counter is less than the maximum value “4”, and the number of holds in the hold counter is less than “4”. If there is, the process proceeds to step 120, where “1” is added to the hold counter, and a random number is acquired from the random number generator 25 to perform a big hit lottery.

  On the other hand, if the reserved number is not less than “4”, that is, if the reserved number is “4”, the process proceeds to step 130. After step 120, the process proceeds to step 130 in the same manner. Here, it is determined whether or not the hold number is 1 or more. If the hold number is 1 or more, the random number acquired in step 120 is obtained in step 140. It is determined whether or not it is a random number for big hit. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 100 that the game ball has not yet won at the start winning opening 13, the process proceeds to step 130, and whether or not the number of holds in the hold counter is “1” or more as described above. If the number of reserves is 1 or more, it is determined in step 140 whether or not the random number acquired corresponding to the reserve ball is a big hit random number.

  If the acquired random number is a jackpot random number in step 140, that is, if the jackpot is won, the process proceeds to step 150, where a variation pattern predetermined according to the jackpot random number is selected and the variation A command indicating a pattern is output to the symbol control unit 30, the voice control unit 40, and the lamp control unit 50. On the other hand, if the acquired random number is a random number other than the big hit, the process proceeds to step 270, where it is determined whether the random number is an outlier random number or a reach random number.

  If the random number is an outlier random number, the process proceeds to step 290, where a variation pattern for loss is selected and a command indicating the variation pattern is output to the symbol control unit 30. On the other hand, if the random number is a reach random number in step 270, the process proceeds to step 280, where a reach variation pattern is selected and a command indicating the variation pattern is output to the symbol control unit 30 or the like.

  Then, the process proceeds to step 160, where symbol variation display is started in the symbol display device 10, and based on the variation pattern selected as described above, a plurality of symbols in three columns are displayed from the top to bottom in the symbol display portion 10a. It is displayed in a variable manner so that it flows. In the pseudo symbol display unit 10b, another pseudo symbol is displayed. In step 170, “1” is subtracted from the hold counter.

  Further, next, in step 180, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit, the variable symbols in the main symbol display unit 10a are controlled to stop based on the big hit lottery result, and the stop symbol of the main symbol display unit 10a is determined in advance. In the case of stopping at the given jackpot symbol, it is determined that it is a jackpot, and in the next step 190, the jackpot processing is started. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 180 that it is not a big hit, the process returns to the start and the above processing is repeated from step 100.

  When the big hit process is started, the process proceeds from step 190 to 200, where the opening / closing member 11a of the variable winning device 11 is opened for a predetermined time, and the number of game balls won during that time is counted. When reaching, the opening / closing member 11a is once closed and one round is completed. In the meantime, when a game ball wins a continuous winning opening, the process proceeds to the next round, and the opening operation of the opening / closing member 11a is repeated for a predetermined time, and this is continued for a maximum of 16 rounds, for example.

  Then, when the final 16 rounds are entered, the final screen of jackpot as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the pseudo symbol display unit 10b of the symbol display device 10. The final screen of the big hit in the pseudo symbol display unit 10b is displayed, for example, imitating a screen of a baseball game on a television. When the big hit ends, the process proceeds from step 200 to step 210, an ending screen is displayed on the pseudo symbol display unit 10b of the symbol display device 10, and the opening / closing member 11a of the variable winning device 11 is closed (FIG. 4). .

  As shown in FIG. 6, this ending screen is formed from an image for informing the end of a baseball broadcast on a television, for example. Then, the process proceeds to step 220, where it is determined whether or not the number of reservations in the reservation counter is “1” or more. If the number of reservations is one or more, the process proceeds to step 230, where the symbol display unit 10a Based on the digestion of the reserved ball, symbol variation is started, and “1” is subtracted from the reserved counter. The symbol variation based on the digestion of the reserved ball in step 230 is performed in a shorter time than usual.

  On the other hand, in the pseudo symbol display part 10b, an ending screen as shown in FIG. 6 is continuously displayed. Then, in the next step 240, it is determined whether or not the lottery result for the reserved ball digested above is a big hit. Here, when it is determined that the lottery result of the reserved ball is not a big hit, the process returns to the above step 220 to determine whether or not the reserved number of the reserved counter is “1” or more. In this case, the process proceeds to step 230, and the symbol display unit 10a repeats the process of starting symbol variation based on the digestion of the reserved ball and subtracting “1” from the reserved counter.

  During this time, the ending screen of FIG. 6 is continuously displayed on the pseudo-symbol display unit 10b as shown in the explanatory diagram of FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 240 that the lottery result of the holding ball has been won, the process proceeds to step 250 where the ending screen in the pseudo symbol display unit 10b is switched from the screen of FIG. 6 to the screen of FIG. To display. On the ending screen of FIG. 7, for example, the characters “The broadcasting time will be extended with the courtesy of the sponsor, continued” are displayed to inform the player that the jackpot has been continuously generated.

  During this time, in the present symbol display unit 10a, the symbol variation is performed based on the digestion of the reserved ball, and the stop control is performed with the jackpot symbol. After that, as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. 4, the opening / closing member 11a of the variable winning device 11 is opened. Then, the first round of the next jackpot process is started, and in step 260, a screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the pseudo symbol display unit 10b. The screen of the first round in the second jackpot processing is created, for example, in the form of an extended game in a television baseball broadcast, and this jackpot continues as the 17th round of the jackpot, that is, as an extension of the previous jackpot Display as if it had occurred.

  As described above, when the lottery result of the held ball that is stored during the big hit process is a big hit, the screen indicating the continuation is displayed on the pseudo-symbol display unit 10b, so that the next big hit and the previous big hit can be reduced. It can be shown as if a huge single big hit has occurred, and the player can feel as if a very big big hit has been obtained, and the interest in pachinko games can be improved. In addition, even if the lottery results stored on hold during the big hit process cannot be confirmed, the effective ending screen is displayed after the big hit ends, thereby changing the design based on the digestion of the hold ball. Even during the display, it is possible for the player to continue to hold the expectation for the big hit.

  In the above embodiment (the explanatory diagram of FIG. 4), the case where the big hit is determined at the start of the symbol variation based on the digestion of the fourth reserved ball has been described, but as shown in the explanatory diagram of FIG. In the case where there is no big hit at this point, instead of the screen showing the continuation as shown in FIG. 7, for example, “The baseball broadcast will be terminated. A screen including characters such as “Please” can be displayed to inform the player of the end of the jackpot.

  9 and 10 show a flowchart and an explanatory diagram of another embodiment. In this example, after the final round (16th round) of the first jackpot process is completed, an ending screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the pseudo-symbol display unit 10b, and then the jackpot determination and the pattern based on the digestion of the reserved ball are performed. The variable display is performed on the symbol display unit 10a.

  That is, in FIG. 9, during a pachinko game, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 13, the start winning opening detector 14 detects the ball and the start winning is detected. At this time, the CPU 21 proceeds from step 300 to step 310 to determine whether or not the number of holds stored in the hold counter is less than the maximum value “4”, and the number of holds in the hold counter is less than “4”. If there is, the process proceeds to step 320, where “1” is added to the hold counter, and a random number is obtained from the random number generator 25 to perform a big hit lottery.

  On the other hand, if the reserved number is not less than “4”, that is, if the reserved number is “4”, the process proceeds to step 330. In addition, after step 320, the process proceeds to step 330 in the same manner. Here, it is determined whether or not the reserved number is 1 or more. If the reserved number is 1 or more, the random number acquired in step 320 is obtained in step 340. It is determined whether or not it is a random number for big hit. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 300 that the game ball has not yet won in the start winning opening 13, the process proceeds to step 330, and, as described above, whether or not the number of holds in the hold counter is “1” or more. In the case where the number of holdings is 1 or more, in step 340, it is determined whether or not the random number acquired corresponding to the holding ball is a jackpot random number.

  If the acquired random number is a jackpot random number in this step 340, that is, if the jackpot is won, the process proceeds to step 350 to select a variation pattern determined in advance according to the jackpot random number, and the variation A command indicating a pattern is output to the symbol control unit 30, the voice control unit 40, and the lamp control unit 50. On the other hand, if the acquired random number is a random number other than the big hit, the process proceeds to step 470, where it is determined whether the random number is an outlier random number or a reach random number.

  If the random number is an outlier random number, the process proceeds to step 490, where the fluctuation pattern for loss is selected and a command indicating the fluctuation pattern is output to the symbol control unit 30. On the other hand, if the random number is a reach random number in step 470, then the process proceeds to step 480, where a reach variation pattern is selected and a command indicating the variation pattern is output to the symbol control unit 30 or the like.

  Then, the process proceeds to step 360, where the symbol display on the symbol display device 10 is started. Based on the variation pattern selected as described above, a plurality of symbols in three rows are displayed from the top in the symbol display unit 10a. It is displayed in a variable manner so that it flows. In the pseudo symbol display unit 10b, another pseudo symbol is displayed. In step 370, “1” is subtracted from the hold counter.

  Further, next, in step 380, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit, the variable symbols in the main symbol display unit 10a are controlled to stop based on the big hit lottery result, and the stop symbol of the main symbol display unit 10a is determined in advance. In the case of stopping at the big hit symbol, it is determined that it is a big hit, and in the next step 390, the big hit processing is started. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 380 that it is not a big hit, the process returns to the start and the above processing is repeatedly executed from step 300.

  When the big hit process is started, the process proceeds from step 390 to 400, the opening / closing member 11a of the variable winning device 11 is opened for a predetermined time, the number of game balls won during that time is counted, and the number of winning balls is, for example, nine When reaching, the opening / closing member 11a is once closed and one round is completed. In the meantime, when a game ball wins a continuous winning opening, the process proceeds to the next round, and the opening operation of the opening / closing member 11a is repeated for a predetermined time, and this is continued for a maximum of 16 rounds, for example.

  Then, when the final 16 rounds are entered, the final screen of jackpot as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the pseudo symbol display unit 10b of the symbol display device 10. The final screen of the big hit in the pseudo symbol display unit 10b is displayed, for example, imitating a screen of a baseball game on a television. Then, when the big hit ends, the process proceeds from step 400 to step 410, the ending screen is displayed on the pseudo symbol display unit 10b of the symbol display device 10, and the opening / closing member 11a of the variable winning device 11 is closed (FIG. 10). .

  As shown in FIG. 6, this ending screen is formed from an image for informing the end of a baseball broadcast on a television, for example. Then, the process proceeds to step 420, where it is determined whether or not a reserved ball whose lottery result is a big hit is stored, and if there is a big hit held ball, the process proceeds to step 430 and the symbol display section 10a. In FIG. 4, the symbol variation is started based on the digestion of the reserved ball, and “1” is subtracted from the reserved counter. The symbol variation based on the digestion of the reserved ball in step 430 is performed in a shorter time than usual. On the other hand, when there is no big hit in the holding ball in step 420, the process returns to step 300, and the processes after step 300 are repeatedly executed as described above.

  As shown in the explanatory diagram of FIG. 10, an ending screen as shown in FIG. 6 is continuously displayed on the pseudo symbol display unit 10b. Then, in the next step 440, it is determined whether or not the lottery result for the reserved ball digested above is a big hit. Here, when it is determined that the lottery result of the reserved ball is not a big hit, the process then returns to step 430, and the symbol change based on the digestion of the reserved ball is performed in the symbol display unit 10a.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 440 that the lottery result of the holding ball has been won, the process proceeds to step 450, where the ending screen in the pseudo symbol display unit 10b is switched from the screen of FIG. 6 to the screen of FIG. To display. On the ending screen of FIG. 7, for example, the characters “The broadcasting time will be extended with the courtesy of the sponsor, continued” are displayed to inform the player that the jackpot has been continuously generated.

  During this time, in the present symbol display unit 10a, the symbol variation is performed based on the digestion of the reserved ball, and the stop control is performed with the jackpot symbol. After that, as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. 10, the opening / closing member 11a of the variable winning device 11 is opened.
