With the next reset signal, processing is performed from the start. First, in the RAM check (S2),
Since a predetermined numerical value is written in the initial setting storage area 521, the RAM 52 is determined to be normal (S2: YE).
S), and shifts to the next liquid crystal screen command output processing (S4).

In the liquid crystal screen command output processing (S 4), a signal for controlling the special symbol display device 8 is sent to the symbol display board 44 via the I / O interface 54. Next, the process proceeds to a sound command output process (S5).
In the sound command output processing (S5), a signal for driving the speaker 48 is sent to the sound board 43 via the I / O interface 54. Details of the sound command output process (S5) will be described later. Next, a lamp command output process (S6) is performed. In the lamp command output process (S6), a signal for controlling blinking of various lamps provided in the pachinko machine 1 is output to the electric decoration board 46. Next, a port output process is performed (S7). In the port output process (S7), the jackpot information, the start information,
Various information such as probability variation information and time reduction information is output via the output port 55.

Next, a switch reading process (S8) is performed. In this switch reading process (S8), the winning of the game ball to the normal symbol starting gates 11, 12, the special symbol starting electric accessory 15, the large winning opening 16, the normal winning opening 19, 20, 30, 31, or the like is detected. Things. In the switch reading process (S8), specifically, the special symbol starting electric accessory 1

When a winning switch 76 for detecting a winning of a game ball from a winning port such as a normal winning port 19 or 20 detects a winning of a game ball, a winning ball flag storage area of the RAM 52 is provided. At 52m, a flag corresponding to each switch is set.

Here, when the starting port switch 72 provided on the special symbol starting electric accessory 15 detects the passing of the game ball, the winning number is up to four, and the winning number is the special symbol starting winning number storage area of the RAM 52. When the normal symbol operation switch 73 provided in each of the normal symbol starting gates 11 and 12 detects the passage of the game ball, the number of winnings is up to four, and the winning number is stored in the normal symbol starting winning number storage area of the RAM 52. 52e.

When the starting port switch 72 provided on the special symbol starting electric accessory 15 detects the passage of the game ball, the loop counter storage area 52 of the RAM 52 is provided.
jackpot determination loop counter LC stored in a
2. Each value of the special symbol creation counters LC3, LC4, LC5, the reach determination counter LC6, and the reach pattern determination counter LC7 are sequentially stored in the storage areas 1 to 4 of the special symbol random number storage area 52b, and the special symbol corresponding thereto. The LED of the stored number display LED 60 is turned on.
Therefore, the maximum number of reservations is four. Also, the value of the big hit determination loop counter LC2 is sequentially stored in the big hit determination random number history storage area 52s shown in FIG.

When the normal symbol operation switch 73 provided on each of the ordinary symbol starting gates 11 and 12 detects the passage of the game ball, the ordinary symbol stored in the loop counter storage area 52a of the RAM 52 is provided. The value of the selection loop counter LC1 is stored in the normal symbol random number storage area 52.
The storage is sequentially performed in the storage areas 1 to 4 of c, and the LED of the normal symbol storage number display LED 59 corresponding thereto lights up. Therefore, the maximum number of reservations is four.

When the switch reading process (S8) is completed,
Next, a loop counter updating process (S9) is performed. In the loop counter updating process (S9), the normal symbol selection loop counter LC1, the big hit determination loop counter LC2, and the special symbol creation counters LC3 and L3 stored in the loop counter storage area 52a of the RAM 52, respectively.
The values of C4, LC5, reach determination counter LC6, and reach pattern determination counter LC7 are increased (incremented) by the above-mentioned predetermined amount. When the value exceeds the maximum value set in each loop counter, the value of each loop counter is cleared to 0 and programmed to return to "0".

Next, in the main routine of the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. 12, when the loop counter updating process S9 ends, it is determined whether or not an error has occurred in the pachinko machine 1 (S10). If an error has occurred (S10: YES), the condition device processing (S1)
1), special symbol processing (S12), ordinary symbol processing (S1)
3) is skipped to perform the processing, and the special symbol display device 8 displays an error or the like. If no error has occurred (S10: NO), the process proceeds to the condition device process (S11).

Next, in the condition device processing (S11), opening and closing of the special winning opening 16 and a big hit demonstration display process on the special symbol display device 8 are performed. In addition, Grand Prize Winner 1
When the jackpot game for opening the game 6 starts, the RAM 52
The flag ON is stored in the flag storage area 52s during the jackpot round, and when the jackpot game ends, the flag is turned off. In the first round of processing, since the big hit determination processing in the special symbol processing (S12) described below has not been performed yet, nothing is performed in the condition apparatus processing (S11), and the process proceeds to the next processing. Next, special symbol processing (S12)
Is performed.

In the special symbol processing (S12), a big hit determination processing, which will be described later, is performed. When the special symbol processing (S12) is completed, next, the normal symbol processing (S1)
3) is performed. In the ordinary symbol processing (S13), the passing of the game ball to the ordinary symbol starting gates 11 and 12 causes
Normally, the count value of the symbol selection loop counter LC1 is
Since the normal symbol random number is stored in the ordinary symbol random number storage area 52c of the RAM 52, the symbol is stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display unit 24 based on the ordinary symbol random number. The ordinary symbol random numbers stored in the ordinary symbol random number storage area 52c of the RAM 52 are from "0" to "255". When the random number is from "0" to "63", the pattern is a miss, and the normal design display unit 24 stops displaying "-" which is a miss design.

When the ordinary symbol random number stored in the ordinary symbol random number storage area 52c of the RAM 52 is from "64" to "255", it becomes a hit and the ordinary symbol display section 2
In FIG. 4, the winning symbol “7” is stopped and displayed. When the winning symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 24, the special symbol starting electric accessory 1 is kept for a predetermined time.
The opening and closing member (so-called tulip) of No. 5 is opened, so that the game ball can easily win the special symbol starting electric accessory 15.

When the ordinary symbol processing (S13) is completed, next, a payout control (S14) for paying out a prize ball is performed, and the processing of the main routine is completed through a frame lamp control (S15) for blinking a frame lamp. I do. Note that the processing of this main routine includes the processing of each subroutine for 2 ms.
End within Then, in response to a reset signal from the interrupt reset circuit 57, the CPU 51 repeatedly performs the processing of the main routine shown in FIG. 12 from the start. Therefore, the processing of the main routine shown in FIG. 12 is repeated in units of 2 ms. If it is determined in the special symbol processing (S12) of the processing of the main routine of the first round, "1" is stored in the big hit flag storage area 52f of the RAM 52, and the big hit flag is turned on.
In the second condition device processing (S11) of the second round, if "1" is stored in the jackpot flag storage area 52f, the opening and closing operations of the special winning opening 16 are performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times). And 16 times).

Here, the player operates the firing handle 7 provided on the lower side of the game board 2 to drive the game ball into the game area 4, and the game ball wins the special symbol starting electric accessory 15. Then, in the switch reading process (S8) of the main routine shown in FIG. 12, the winning of the game ball to the special symbol starting electric accessory 15 is detected. Specifically, when the starting port switch 72 provided on the special symbol starting electric accessory 15 detects the passage of the game ball, the big hit determining loop counters respectively stored in the loop counter storage area 52a of the RAM 52. LC2, special symbol creation counters LC3, LC4, LC5, reach judgment counter L
C6, the value of the reach pattern determination counter LC7 is stored as a random number in the special symbol random number storage area 52b of the RAM 52. Then, the process proceeds to S10 via the loop counter updating process (S9). Normally, since no error has occurred in the pachinko machine 1 (S10: NO), the condition device processing (S1
The process proceeds to 1), but since the jackpot has not been determined yet, nothing is performed in the condition device processing (S11), and the special symbol processing (S12) is performed.

In this special symbol processing (S12), FIG.
Big hit determination processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether or not a special symbol starting electric accessory 15 is won (S21). This determination is made based on whether or not the number of winning balls stored in the special symbol starting winning number storage area 52d is zero. Special symbol start winning number storage area 52d
If the number of winning spheres stored in the game is "0" (S2
1: NO), end the big hit determination process, and return to the main routine. Special symbol start winning number storage area 52
If it is determined that the number of winning balls stored in d is not “0”, that is, it is one of 1 to 4 (S2
1: YES), the value of each random number stored in the storage area 1 of the special symbol random number storage area 52b is shifted to the determination area and read out, and stored in the storage areas 2 to 4 in the special symbol random number storage area 52b. The storage area is shifted by one for each value of the random numbers (S22). That is, the storage value of the storage area 2 of the special symbol random number storage area 52b is stored in the storage area 1, and the storage value of the storage area 3 is stored in the storage area 2
The storage value of the storage area 4 is moved to the storage area 3. Next, the storage number of the special symbol start winning number storage area 52d is subtracted by "1", that is, the number of winning balls is subtracted (S2).
3).

Next, a jackpot determination is made (S24).
In the present embodiment, the value of the jackpot determination loop counter LC2 ranges from “0” to “314”.
Also, the value of the random number of the jackpot determination loop counter LC2 read into the determination area at step S1 is one of "0" to "314". Here, the value of the random number read in S22 is a specific value stored in the ROM 53 as a jackpot value,
For example, it is determined whether it is “7”. If the value of the random number read in S22 is “7” (S24: Y
ES), "1" is stored in the big hit flag storage area 52f of the RAM 52 to turn on the big hit flag (S25). At the same time, the stored value of the jackpot determination random number history storage area 52s is reset and deleted. Next, a jackpot reach pattern selection process is performed based on the value of the reach pattern determination counter LC7 read into the determination area of the special symbol random number storage area 52b (S26).

In the jackpot reach pattern selection process, the jackpot reach pattern table 10 shown in FIG.
0, a reach pattern command is selected, and the reach pattern command is stored in the symbol display command storage area 52r of the RAM 52 (S26).

Next, a jackpot symbol selection process is performed (S2).
7). When the big hit display is performed, the big hit symbol is selected based on the value of the special symbol creation counter LC3 read in the determination area of the special symbol random number storage area 52b. The special symbol creation counter LC3 is any numerical value between “0” to “9”.

Here, a big hit symbol is selected as follows in accordance with the value of the special symbol creation counter LC3 read into the determination area (S27). The value of the special symbol creation counter LC3 and the first stop symbol (left symbol) displayed on the special symbol display portion L1, the second stop symbol (right symbol) displayed on the special symbol display portion L2, and the special symbol display portion L3 The relationship with the displayed third stop symbol (middle symbol) is 0: “0,
0, 0 ", 1:" 1, 1, 1 ", 2:" 2, 2, 2 ",
3: “3, 3, 3”, 4: “4, 4, 4”, 5: “5,
5, 5 ", 6:" 6, 6, 6 ", 7:" 7, 7, 7 ",
8: "8, 8, 8", 9: "9, 9, 9". Data indicating the selected big hit symbol is stored in the first
Stop symbol storage area 52o, second stop symbol storage area 5
2p is stored in the third stop symbol storage area 52q (S27). Further, a symbol display command for displaying the above symbols on the special symbol display sections L1 to L3 is stored in the symbol display command storage area 52r of the RAM 52 (S2).
7).

Here, when the value of the special symbol creation counter LC3 is "1, 3, 5, 7, 9", since the probability of the next big hit is increased, the probability variation mode is entered.
"1" is stored in the second probability variation flag storage area 52n, and the probability variation flag is turned ON. When the value of the special symbol creation counter LC3 is "0, 2, 4, 6, 8",
Since the probability of the next big hit is not high and the mode is the normal mode, "0" is stored in the probability variation flag storage area 52n of the RAM 52 and the probability variation flag is turned off (S2).
7).

In the determination of S24, if the value of the random number of the jackpot determination loop counter LC2 read out in S22 is other than, for example, "7", which is a big hit (S24:
NO), it is determined whether or not to perform the off-reach operation based on the value of the reach determination counter LC6 (S31). When the value of the reach determination counter LC6 is "20 to 39", it is determined that the off-reach has been performed. (S31: YES). If it is determined that it is out of reach (S31: YES),
The reach pattern command of the off-reach is selected with reference to the off-reach pattern table stored in the off-reach pattern table storage area 53c of the ROM 53, and the reach pattern command is stored in the symbol display command storage area 52r of the RAM 52. (S3
2).

Next, if the reach is not determined in S31 shown in FIG. 12 (S31: NO), the special symbol creation counter LC3, the special symbol creation counter LC4, and the random number acquired from the special symbol creation counter LC5 are used. Then, a stop stop symbol creation process (S34) is performed to store the symbols in the first stop symbol storage area 52o, the second stop symbol storage area 52p, and the third stop symbol storage area 52q of the RAM 52, respectively. The symbol display command for displaying the above symbol in L3 is stored in the symbol display command storage area 52r of the RAM 52 (S34).
When the jackpot determination process is completed, the process returns to the main routine of the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. In the main routine of the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. 11, when the special symbol processing (S12) is completed, next, the ordinary symbol processing (S1).
3), prize ball payout processing (S14), frame ramp processing (S)
15) are sequentially performed.

When the above processing is completed, the processing is performed by the next reset signal and from the start. First, RA
In the M check (S2), since a predetermined numerical value is written in the initial setting storage area 52l, the RAM 52 is determined to be normal (S2: YES), and the process proceeds to the next liquid crystal screen command output processing (S4). In the liquid crystal screen command output process (S4), the symbol display command and the reach pattern command stored in the symbol display command storage area 52r of the RAM 52 and the jackpot determination loop counter LC2 stored in the jackpot determination random number history storage area 52s of the RAM 52 are stored. The history of the values (from the oldest random number acquired from the jackpot determination loop counter LC2 to the latest random number) is transmitted to the CPU 44a (not shown) of the symbol display board 44 via the I / O interface 54. The CPU 44a of the symbol display board 44 performs a symbol display process described later.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 14 to 23, a symbol display process performed by the CPU 44a of the pattern display board 44 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the normal symbol display processing performed by the CPU 44a of the pattern display board 44.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart of a symbol display process at the time of reach performed by the CPU 44a of the pattern display board 44, and FIGS.
8, FIG. 19, FIG. 22 and FIG.
21 is a diagram showing symbols variably displayed in the special symbol display portions L1 to L3 of the display screen 28 of FIG. 21. FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a history display of the jackpot random numbers acquired from the jackpot determination loop counter LC2. 21 is a diagram showing a partially enlarged display of FIG. 20. FIG.

The CPU 44a of the pattern display board 44 is
When the reach pattern command is not received from No. 1, the CPU 44a of the design display board 44 performs the normal design display processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. In the normal symbol display processing, first, as shown in FIG. 16, the symbols in the special symbol display portions L1 to L3 of the display screen 28 start to change (scroll from top to bottom) (S50). Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the first stop symbol is stopped on the special symbol display portion L1 (S51). Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the second symbol is stopped on the special symbol display section L2 (S52).
Next, as shown in FIG. 19, the third symbol is displayed on the special symbol display section L3.
The stop symbol is stopped (S53). In the case shown in FIG. 19, “7, 4, 4” is displayed to indicate that the screen has deviated.

Next, as shown in FIG.
8 displays the history of random numbers acquired from the jackpot determination loop counter LC2 (S54). This display is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, only the whole number of random numbers from the center (for example, 3
15) A random number obtained in the past in a prize to the special symbol starting electric accessory 15 of the game ball is displayed as a protruding portion 112 on an outer periphery of a radially divided random number circle 110. When the same random number is obtained, the same random number is displayed as the projection 113 on the second stage. In the random number circle 110, the jackpot random number 111 (for example, “7”) is painted out, and the random number 114 acquired this time is painted out and shown around the random number circle 110. Note that the random number circle 110 shown in FIG.
Then, as shown in FIG. 21, a part of the vicinity of the random number 114 acquired this time is enlarged and displayed (S54). In the example shown in FIG. 21, the random number 114 acquired this time is close to the jackpot random number 111, indicating “sorry”. By displaying the history of the random numbers as described above, the player can visually recognize the state of the random number being drawn, so that the player does not lose his will to play. When the random number history display (S54) ends, the process proceeds to the next symbol display process, and the symbols in the special symbol display sections L1 to L3 change again as shown in FIG.

Next, when the CPU 44a of the pattern display board 44 is receiving the reach pattern command from the main board 41, the CPU 44a of the pattern display board 44 performs the reach-time pattern display processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. In the reach symbol display process, first, as shown in FIG. 16, the symbols in the special symbol display portions L1 to L3 of the display screen 28 start to change (scroll from top to bottom) (S60). Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the first stop symbol is stopped on the special symbol display portion L1 (S61). Next, as shown in FIG. 22, the second stop symbol is stopped on the special symbol display portion L2 (S
62). In this case, "7" is temporarily stopped in the special symbol display section L1, and "7" is also temporarily stopped in the special symbol display section L2, and it is in the reach state. In this state, a reach operation of changing the symbol of the special symbol display section L3 for a predetermined time is performed (S63). Thereafter, the third stop symbol is stopped on the special symbol display section L3 as shown in FIG. 23 (S64). In the case shown in FIG. 23, “7, 4, 7” is displayed, indicating that it is a so-called out-of-reach reach.

Next, as shown in FIG.
In FIG. 8, the entire history of random numbers acquired from the jackpot determination loop counter LC2 is displayed (S65).
As shown in (5), a part of the vicinity of the random number 114 acquired this time is enlarged and displayed (S65). These displays are displayed in the same manner as the random number display in S54. When the random number display (S65) ends, the process proceeds to the next symbol display process,
As shown in FIG. 16, the symbols in the special symbol display sections L1 to L3 change again. The display of the history of the random numbers may be performed only when the reach is reached.

Next, when the above processing is completed, a sound command output processing is performed (S5). In this sound command output processing, a sound effect command is transmitted from the main board 41 to the sound board 43, and a CPU (not shown) of the sound board 43 performs the sound effect command based on the received sound effect command and the control pattern stored in the ROM 43c. The sound effect is output from the speaker 48.
Next, the processing from S6 to S15 shown in FIG. 12 is repeated as described above.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the above embodiment, after the symbols in the special symbol display sections L1 to L3 are definitely displayed, the big hit determination loop counter L
Since the history of the random numbers obtained from C2 is displayed on the display screen 28 of the special symbol display device 8, the player can visually grasp the state of the random numbers drawn by himself, and the random number determined to be a jackpot You can know whether you were reluctant to draw a value close to, or whether you were generous to draw a random number far away. Further, since the history of random number acquisition is visually displayed, it is possible to grasp that the pachinko machine 1 is not fraudulent even if the loss continues, so that the player does not lose his / her motivation to play.

Next, referring to FIGS. 24 to 26, the big hit determination loop counter L displayed on the display screen 28 will be described.
A first modification of the history display of the random numbers acquired from C2 will be described. 24 to 26 are diagrams showing modified examples of the history display of random numbers displayed on the display screen 28. In the first modified example, the total random numbers of the big hit determination loop counter LC2 are 24 “0 to 23”. Then, as shown in FIG. 24, the random number circle 120 is radially subdivided into 24 from the center, and the 24 random numbers “0 to 23” are sequentially displayed there. Then, the random number 121 (for example, “7”) serving as a jackpot is displayed with a specific color (for example, “red” or the like) or hatching or pattern so as to be distinguishable from other random numbers. Then, the random number 122 (“12” in this example) acquired this time is replaced with the random number 121 serving as the jackpot.
Is displayed with a different color (for example, “orange”) or hatching or a pattern.

Next, every time the game machine is advanced and the symbols in the special symbol display sections L1 to L3 are stopped, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, a random number 121 serving as a jackpot, a random number 122 acquired this time, The random numbers 123 acquired in the past are distinguished from each other by different colors, hatches, and patterns so as to be identifiable, and are displayed on the random number circle 120.

Next, referring to FIG. 27 to FIG. 35, the jackpot determination loop counter L displayed on the display screen 28 will be described.
A second modification of the history display of the random numbers acquired from C2 will be described. FIGS. 27 to 35 are diagrams showing modified examples of the random number history display displayed on the display screen 28. FIG. In the second modified example, the total random numbers of the big hit determination loop counter LC2 are 37 “0 to 36”. Then, as shown in FIG. 27, a random number 131 (for example, “7”) which is a big hit is arranged around a circle 130 of the random number, and a specific color (for example, “red” or the like) or a hatching or a pattern is arranged. , And the remaining random numbers are arranged in a triple arc shape on the outer periphery.

In the second variation of the history display of random numbers, as shown in FIG. 28, a random number 132 serving as a reach on the outer circumference of a random number 131 serving as a jackpot arranged at the center of a circle 130 of random numbers (one example) As "8, 4, 9, 5, 10,
6, 11, 1, 12, 2, 13, 3 "), and is displayed in a manner distinguishable from the random number 131 by different colors, hatchings, and patterns. Then, the outlier random number 133 is displayed on the outer circumference of the random number 132, and the outlier random number 134 is displayed on the outer circumference of the random number 133. In the case of the second modification, unlike the pachinko machine 1, the reach is determined not by using the value of the reach determination counter LC6, but by using the value of the loop jackpot determination loop counter LC2.

In the case of a high probability (probability variation state), as shown in FIG. 29, a low probability (normal state) and a high probability (probability variation state) around a random number circle 130 and a big hit. When a random number 131 (for example, “7”) is arranged and given a specific color (for example, “red” or the like) or hatching or a pattern, and a high probability (probability variation state) is formed around the periphery. Only the random number 135 that is a big hit (for example,
"8, 4, 9, 5, 10, 6, 11, 1, 12, 2, 1
3, 3 ”) and the same color as the random number 131 (for example,“ red ”) or hatching or a pattern.

Also, as shown in FIG. 29, a reach random number 136 is arranged around the random number 135 which is a big hit when a high probability (probability variation state) occurs, and is differentiably different from the random number 135. Displays are distinguished by color, hatching or pattern. Then, on the outer periphery of the random number 136, a shifted random number 137 is displayed.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 30 to 35, the display of the history of the acquired random numbers of the second modification will be described. FIG.
FIG. 0 to FIG. 35 are diagrams showing the history display of the acquired random numbers of the second modification.

First, as a history display of the acquired random numbers, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 0 and FIG. 31, a bullet through hole 140 is displayed at the position of the random number obtained on the random number circle 130. At this time, only the through hole 140 indicating the random number acquired this time can be identified as a different color. Also, as shown in FIG.
The color or pattern of the random number portion 141 acquired this time on the random number circle 130 may be different from the others. Further, as shown in FIG. 33, the random number part 14
2 may be three-dimensional. Further, as shown in FIG. 34, the numeral portion 143 of the random number acquired this time may be three-dimensionalized on the circle 130 of the random number. Further, as shown in FIG. 35, the arrow 144 may be inserted into the random number obtained this time on the random number circle 130.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the above embodiment, the history of the obtained random numbers for judging the jackpot is displayed on the display screen 28 of the special symbol display device 8. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the random number that he or she has obtained, so that it is possible to know whether or not he or she was really regrettable at the time of so-called super reach or the like. In addition, even when a state in which no hit occurs for a long time (a so-called “hamari” state) continues, the player can visually grasp the history of the obtained random numbers, so that the pachinko machine 1 does not have any illegal processing or the like. Can also be confirmed, without losing motivation to play.

It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, but can be applied to various game machines having a symbol display section, such as pachi-con machines and pachi-slot machines. Needless to say, the present invention can be variously modified. For example, the change display of the symbols in the special symbol display sections L1 to L3 is stopped, and as shown in FIG. 26 and FIG.
The game may be displayed on the display screen 28, and the acquired random numbers may be displayed there in order. Also, the history display of random numbers may be displayed only at certain times such as reach or super reach, instead of being displayed every time the fluctuation of the special symbol display sections L1 to L3 is stopped. In addition, instead of displaying random numbers on the display screen 28, an animation character indicating a random number to be a hit is displayed, and the obtained random number is represented by a bullet or an arrow aiming at the character. May hit an anime character. Further, it goes without saying that the present invention may be applied to a so-called cash machine (time shortening machine) or the like.

[0088]

As described above, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, the probability of a hit being determined by the hit determining means and the winning among a plurality of symbols displayed on the symbol display device.
