DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] First Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, a first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko game machine (hereinafter, simply referred to as a "pachinko machine") 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 63. Fig. 1 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10 in the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10, and Fig. 3 is a front view of a game board 13 of the pachinko machine 10.

[0011] Conventionally, there is a gaming machine that, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, transitions to a game state that is advantageous to a player and awards the player a profit. In the advantageous game state, if a predetermined condition is established by the player's play, the player can obtain a prize ball.

[0012] In such gaming machines, further improvements are required in the control method regarding the degree of advantage given to the player.

[0013] Specifically, for example, in conventional gaming machines, there are gaming machines equipped with a control process capable of changing a probability setting value related to the degree of advantage of the player, but the process of changing the probability setting value in these gaming machines is performed by the manager (employee) of the gaming facility only when the gaming machine is turned on in order to prevent unauthorized changes to the probability setting value by the player and to properly manage the ball payout of the gaming machine, and the change process is configured not to be executed while the player is playing. Therefore, when a player plays a gaming machine equipped with multiple probability settings, if the player continues to not win a jackpot or has difficulty winning a jackpot, the player may infer that the gaming machine is set to a probability setting value that makes it difficult to obtain a gaming profit, and may become distrustful of the gaming machine or the gaming facility and stop playing.

[0014] The present invention was invented in consideration of the above problems, and aims to increase the interest in the game and improve the operating rate of the gaming machine by allowing the player to change the probability setting values ​​related to the player's degree of advantage while playing.

[0015] More specifically, for example, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when a player fires a game ball to execute the dynamic display of a special pattern, the probability setting value is configured to be changeable when the number of times the dynamic display of the special pattern is executed reaches a predetermined value.

[0016] In order to achieve this object, a pachinko machine 10 of a first embodiment is a gaming machine including: detection means capable of detecting the establishment of a start condition; judgment means capable of executing a predetermined lottery based on the establishment of the start condition; display means capable of displaying a specific symbol stationarily after the variable display of a plurality of symbols has ended if the predetermined lottery results in a specific result; advantageous state generating means capable of generating an advantageous state advantageous to a player after the specific symbol has been displayed; setting means capable of setting a setting value used when outputting at least a game result performed on the display means to one of a plurality of setting values; setting value storage means capable of storing the set setting value; operable operation means; and initialization means for initializing the gaming machine based on a specific operation being performed on the operation means when power is turned on to the gaming machine, and initializing means for initializing the gaming machine based on the establishment of a predetermined setting condition that may be established when the gaming machine is initialized by the initialization means; The gaming machine is provided with a game state setting means for setting the game state of the gaming machine to a predetermined game state when the gaming machine is initialized; a first change means for changing an output mode of the game result to a higher stage based on a first condition being satisfied in the predetermined game state in which a predetermined setting value is set as the multiple-stage setting value; a second change means for changing the output mode from a higher stage to the original output mode based on a second condition different from the first condition being satisfied after the output mode has been changed to the higher stage by the first change means; and an alarm means for executing a predetermined alarm based on at least the first condition being satisfied in the predetermined game state, wherein the first condition and the second condition are conditions that can be satisfied at least when the power supply of the gaming machine is not cut off and the predetermined game state continues, and the gaming machine is configured such that, when the power supply to the gaming machine is turned on without initialization of the gaming machine by the initialization means, an output mode different from the output mode that was set before the power supply to the gaming machine was cut off can be set.

[0017] In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when the output mode is high, the advantageous state is more likely to occur than when the output mode is at the initial value of the predetermined setting value.

[0071] In addition, for example, as the first condition, in this embodiment, the number of times the dynamic display of the special pattern is executed reaches a predetermined value, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and for example, the first condition may be a condition in which a gaming ball is launched, a gaming ball is not launched, a gaming operation is not executed for a certain period of time, a gaming ball enters a specific ball entrance, a gaming ball enters a specific area, a dynamic display of a special pattern is executed, a dynamic display of a special pattern is not executed, execution of the dynamic display of a special pattern is started, execution of the dynamic display of a special pattern is ended, the number of times the dynamic display of a special pattern is executed reaches a specific value, the number of times the dynamic display of a special pattern is executed is less than a specific value, These include the following: the number of times the dynamic display of special patterns is executed is equal to or greater than a specific value, the dynamic display of special patterns wins a specific pattern, a transition to a specific game state, the dynamic display of special patterns is executed for a specific period of time, a specific presentation is executed in the variable special pattern presentation, the time to start a specific process is reached, a frame button is operated, a player volume operation unit is operated, a player light intensity operation unit is operated, a gadget arranged on the game board performs a specific operation, a detection switch is turned on, an error is detected, the error state is released, the power to the gaming machine is turned on, the power to the gaming machine is turned off, etc.

[0072] Furthermore, for example, as a stage where the output mode of the game result is high, in this embodiment, it will be described as a stage from a jackpot probability value corresponding to jackpot probability setting value 1 to a jackpot probability value corresponding to jackpot probability setting value 2, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples of such stages include a stage where the winning probability value of a normal pattern is high, a stage where the small winning probability value of a special pattern is high, a stage where the transition probability value of the probability variable state or time shortening state when a jackpot is won is high, a stage where the appearance probability value of a predetermined effect appearing in the variable effect of a special pattern is high, a stage where the light quantity value indicating the brightness of a liquid crystal display device is high, a stage where the volume value indicating the volume output from an audio output device such as a speaker is high, a stage where the firing interval value corresponding to the firing interval of the ball fired from the firing device is high, and a stage where the firing force value corresponding to the strength of the ball fired from the firing device is high.

[0073] Also, for example, as the first change means, in this embodiment, a process for increasing the probability of a jackpot in the set scenario counter counting process will be described as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples of such a process include a process that can change the degree of advantage for the player, a process that can change the presentation style of a variable presentation, a process that can change the game status, a process that can change the lighting brightness of the electric lights arranged on the game board, a process that can change the sound volume output from the gaming machine, a process that can change the frequency of appearance of a specific presentation in a variable presentation, and a process that updates a specific value.

[0074] Furthermore, for example, as a specified lottery, in this embodiment, a lottery on whether a special pattern is selected is used as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, and examples include a lottery on whether a normal pattern is selected, and a special lottery that does not involve a big win or small win.

[0075] Also, for example, in this embodiment, the game state setting means will be described using the special probability flag 203n as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a flag for determining whether or not a special pattern is in a high probability state, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a normal pattern is in a high probability state, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a jackpot state is in progress, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a variable performance is being executed, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a standby state is in progress, a memory area such as a counter or area, a flag for determining whether or not a power-on state is in progress, a memory area such as a counter or area, and the like.

[0076] Furthermore, for example, as an initialization means capable of initializing the gaming machine, the present embodiment will explain an initialization process within the start-up process of the main control device 110 as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a control process that initializes the contents set in the gaming machine, a control process that initializes the operating mode of the gimmicks arranged on the gaming board, a control process that initializes the lighting mode of the electric lights arranged on the gaming board, a control process that initializes the output mode of the sound output from the gaming machine, and a control process that initializes the presentation mode of the variable presentation.

[0077] Also, for example, as the second change means, in this embodiment, a process for lowering the jackpot probability value in the set scenario counter counting process will be described as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples include a process that can change the degree of advantage for the player, a process that can change the presentation style of a variable presentation, a process that can change the game status, a process that can change the lighting brightness of the electric lights arranged on the game board, a process that can change the sound volume output from the gaming machine, a process that can change the frequency of appearance of a specific presentation in a variable presentation, and a process that updates a specific value.

[0078] Furthermore, for example, as a predetermined notification, in this embodiment, a notification effect that a predetermined number of rotations has been reached will be described as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention. For example, a performance based on the dynamic display of a special symbol, a performance notifying that the execution of a variable special symbol performance has started, a performance notifying that the execution of a variable special symbol performance has stopped, a performance notifying that the dynamic display of a special symbol has been executed a predetermined number of times, a performance notifying the current game state, a performance notifying a recommended game method, a performance notifying that the game state has changed, and the like may be used. These include effects that notify the occurrence of a certain gaming state, effects that notify the remaining number of times the dynamic display of special patterns will be executed before the gaming state changes, effects that suggest a probability setting value, effects that notify the ball has entered a specific ball entry port, effects that notify the large prize entry port has opened, effects that notify the small prize entry port has opened, effects that notify the ball has been paid out, effects that notify the ball has been turned on, effects that notify the ball has been detected, and effects that notify the start-up process of the gaming machine is currently being executed.

[0079] In addition, for example, as a notification means capable of executing a predetermined notification, a set value command process that notifies that a predetermined number of rotations has been reached will be described as an example in this embodiment, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and for example, a process of notifying that the execution of a special symbol variable presentation has started, a process of notifying that the execution of a special symbol variable process has stopped, a process of notifying that the dynamic display of a special symbol has been executed a predetermined number of times, a process of notifying the current game state, and a process of notifying the remaining number of times the dynamic display of a special symbol will be executed until the game state changes.

[0080] Furthermore, for example, as the initial setting means, in this embodiment, an initial setting process related to the probability of a big win executed during the start-up process (e.g., a probability value of a big win of 1) is described as an example, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and examples thereof include an initial setting process related to the probability of a small win executed during the start-up process (e.g., a probability value of a small win of 1), an initial setting process related to the game state executed during the start-up process (e.g., set to "normal game state"), an initial setting process related to the transition probability of the game state executed during the start-up process, an initial setting process related to a predetermined performance related to the variable performance of a special pattern, an initial setting process related to a light amount value indicating the brightness of a liquid crystal display device (e.g., a default brightness), an initial setting process related to a volume value indicating the volume output from an audio output device such as a speaker (e.g., a default volume), an initial setting process related to a firing interval value corresponding to the firing interval of a ball fired from a firing device (e.g., a default firing interval), and an initial setting process related to a firing force value corresponding to the strength of a ball fired from a firing device (e.g., a default firing force).

[0081] Also, for example, as the second condition, in this embodiment, the number of times the dynamic display of the special pattern is executed reaches a specific value that is greater than a predetermined value, but any configuration may be used as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and for example, a gaming ball is launched, a gaming ball is not launched, a gaming operation is not executed for a certain period of time, a gaming ball enters a specific ball entrance, a gaming ball enters a specific area, a dynamic display of a special pattern is executed, a dynamic display of a special pattern is not executed, execution of the dynamic display of a special pattern is started, execution of the dynamic display of a special pattern is ended, the number of times the dynamic display of a special pattern is executed reaches a specific value, the number of times the dynamic display of a special pattern is executed reaches a specific value, and the number of times the dynamic display of a special pattern is executed reaches a specific value. These include: being less than a set value, the number of times the dynamic display of special patterns is executed being equal to or greater than a specific value, the dynamic display of special patterns winning a specific pattern, transitioning to a specific game state, the dynamic display of special patterns being executed for a specific period of time, a specific presentation being executed in the variable special pattern presentation, reaching the time to start a specific process, a frame button being operated, a player volume control unit being operated, a player light intensity control unit being operated, a gadget arranged on the game board performing a specific operation, a detection switch being turned on, some kind of error being detected, the error state being released, the power to the gaming machine being turned on, the power to the gaming machine being turned off, etc.

[0082] As shown in Fig. 1, a pachinko machine 10 comprises an outer frame 11, the outer shell of which is formed by wooden frames assembled into a substantially rectangular shape, and an inner frame 12, which is formed to have substantially the same external shape as the outer frame 11 and is supported so as to be openable and closable relative to the outer frame 11. Metal hinges 18 are attached to the outer frame 11 at two locations, top and bottom, on the left side as viewed from the front (see Fig. 1), in order to support the inner frame 12, and the inner frame 12 is supported so as to be openable and closable toward the front side, with the side where the hinges 18 are provided serving as the axis for opening and closing.

[0083] A game board 13 (see FIG. 3) having a number of nails and winning holes (ball entry holes) 63, 64, 65, 71, 72, etc. is detachably attached to the back side of the inner frame 12. A pinball game is played by balls flowing down the front of the game board 13. The inner frame 12 is equipped with a ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 5) that launches balls to the front area of ​​the game board 13, a launching rail (not shown) that guides the balls launched from the ball launching unit 112a to the front area of ​​the game board 13, and the like. Details of the game board 13 will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

[0084] On the front side of the inner frame 12, there is provided a front frame 14 that covers the upper side of the front face, and a lower plate unit 15 that covers the lower side. Metal hinges 19 are attached to two locations, top and bottom, on the left side when viewed from the front (see Figure 1), in order to support the front frame 14 and the lower plate unit 15, and the front frame 14 and the lower plate unit 15 are supported so that they can be opened and closed toward the front side, with the side where the hinges 19 are provided serving as the axis for opening and closing. The locking of the inner frame 12 and the locking of the front frame 14, which are predetermined operations, are each released by inserting a dedicated key into the keyhole 21 of the cylinder lock 20 and performing a predetermined operation.

[0085] The front frame 14 is assembled with decorative resin parts, electric parts, etc., and has a window 14c formed in a substantially elliptical shape at its approximate center. A glass unit 16 having two glass sheets is disposed on the rear side of the front frame 14, and the front of the game board 13 can be seen from the front side of the pachinko machine 10 through the glass unit 16.

[0086] In the front frame 14, an upper tray 17 for storing balls is formed in a generally box-like shape with an open top that protrudes forward, and prize balls and loan balls are discharged into this upper tray 17. The bottom surface of the upper tray 17 is formed with a downward inclination to the right side when viewed from the front (see FIG. 1), and this inclination guides balls dropped into the upper tray 17 to a ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 10) that serves as an operating device. In addition, on the top surface of the upper tray 17, a frame button 22 is provided on the front left side when viewed from the front, and a player volume operation unit 44 and a player light intensity operation unit 45 are provided on the rear side of the frame button 22.

[0087] The frame button 22 is a button that is pressed by the player when changing the stage of the performance displayed on the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 3) described later. The frame button 22 is also used as an operation button for allowing the player to select the performance content in the preview display executed in the variable display of the third symbol (hereinafter, the variable display of the third symbol is referred to as "variable performance").

[0088] The variable presentation is a presentation displayed on the third pattern display device 81 (see Figure 3) described below, and as described below, is executed when a ball fired into the front area of ​​the game board 13 enters a specific winning hole (for example, the first starting hole 64 and the second starting hole 71 (see Figure 3) as the ball entry sections described below), and after the pattern (the third pattern described below) changes for a predetermined period of time, the result of the lottery held for that winning hole (whether it is a jackpot or not) is presented to the player based on the combination of patterns that are stopped and displayed.

[0089] Furthermore, the stage refers to a presentation mode that provides uniformity to various presentations displayed on the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 3) described later, and the present pachinko machine 10 has three stages: "town stage," "sky stage," and "island stage." The above-mentioned variable presentations and various presentations such as "reach display" performed during the variable presentations are designed to be performed according to the theme given to each stage.

[0090] In addition, the "reach display" refers to a display just before the "big win display" indicating the occurrence of a big win in the variable performance executed in the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 3) described later. Specifically, it refers to a state in which the third symbols in the left symbol row Z1 and the right symbol row Z3 (see FIG. 9) described later stop as the same symbol, and the center symbol row Z2 (see FIG. 9) continues to vary without stopping yet.

[0091] In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the "reach displays" are roughly divided into a single element that constitutes the "normal reach" presentation (hereinafter, a single element that constitutes the presentation is referred to as a "variable element"), a "super reach" variable element that is executed by developing from the variable elements of the "normal reach" and has a higher chance of winning a jackpot than the variable elements of the "normal reach", and a "special reach" variable element that is similarly executed by developing from the variable elements of the "normal reach" and has a higher chance of winning a jackpot than the variable elements of the "super reach".

[0092] The stage is changed when the frame button 22 is pressed by the player as a specific game operation during a period when no variation performance is being performed (i.e., during a demo display) or during a "high-speed variation" variable element in which the third symbol is rapidly variable so as not to be visible to the player during the variation performance. Each time the frame button 22 as an operation device is operated, the stage is repeatedly changed in the following order: "town stage" → "empty stage" → "island stage" → "town stage" → ... Immediately after the power is turned on, the "town stage" is set as the initial stage.

[0093] In addition, when a variable element of a "normal reach" is started in the variable performance performed by the third pattern display device 81 (see Figure 3) described later, and the variable element of the "normal reach" develops into a variable element of a "super reach" or a variable element of a "special reach", a selection screen for the variable element of the "super reach" or the variable element of the "special reach" may be configured to be displayed on the third pattern display device 81 during the variable element of the "normal reach".

[0094] Specifically, the selection screen displays multiple candidates that can be selected as the variable elements of the "Super Reach" or the "Special Reach", and the selected candidate is changed when the frame button 22 is pressed by the player while the selection screen is displayed. Then, the variable elements of the "Super Reach" or the "Special Reach" are determined based on the performance candidate selected when the variable elements of the "Super Reach" or the "Special Reach" develop into the variable elements of the "Super Reach", and the variable elements of the "Special Reach" are executed by the third pattern display device 81 according to the determination.

[0095] In the first embodiment, the frame button 22 is configured as a button to be pressed, but instead of the frame button 22, it may be configured as an operation lever that can be tilted by the player in a predetermined direction (for example, forward, backward, rightward, or leftward with respect to the pachinko machine 10) with respect to the pachinko machine 10. Then, based on the direction in which the operation lever is tilted, the performance stage may be selected or changed, or the variable element of the "super reach" or the variable element of the "special reach" may be determined.

[0096] In addition, although the frame button 22 is configured to be positioned on the front side of the upper tray 17 when viewed from the side, the position of the frame button 22 may be any position as long as it is a position where the player can press it, and for example, it may be positioned on the top side of the upper tray 17, or it may be positioned near the lower tray 50 (top or side) described later.

[0097] The player volume operation unit 44 is an operation unit for adjusting the volume value output from the sound output device 226 (see FIG. 5) when a variable performance or the like is executed, and is a button that can be pressed by the player. The player volume operation unit 44 is composed of a player volume increase unit 44a and a player volume decrease unit 44b.

[0098] Details will be described later, but this player volume operation unit 44 can be operated by the player regardless of whether or not a variable presentation is being executed, and is configured to enable adjustment of the volume value at any time.

[0099] In addition, the volume value output by the audio output device 226 from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured to be adjustable by the volume values ​​of two volume operation units: the hall volume operation unit 117 (see Figure 2) described later and the player volume operation unit 44.

[0100] The hall volume operation unit 117 is disposed on the rear part of the pachinko machine 10, within the voice lamp control board (voice lamp control device 113), and is an operation unit that is adjusted in advance mainly by hall personnel before opening for business.

[0101] Therefore, for example, the actual volume value output from the pachinko machine 10 when a variable performance is executed (hereinafter, the volume value output from the audio output device 226 when a variable performance is executed may be referred to as the "actual volume value") is determined based on the volume value of the hall volume operation unit 117 operated by hall personnel, etc. (hereinafter, the volume value set by the hall volume operation unit 117 may be referred to as the "hall operated volume value"), and the actual volume value is determined based on the volume value of the player volume operation unit 44 that can be operated by the player (hereinafter, the volume value set by the player volume operation unit 44 may be referred to as the "player operated volume value") (see Figure 24).

[0102] For example, if the hall operation volume value is "1", the range of the actual volume value is "2 to 10", and if the player operation volume value is "2", the actual volume value is determined to be "4" (see FIG. 24).

[0103] The player light amount operation unit 45 is an operation unit for adjusting the light amount value output from the illumination unit 29 to 33 by the lamp display device 227 (hereinafter, the light amount value output from the lamp display device 227 may be referred to as the "actual light amount value"), and is a button that can be pressed by the player. This player light amount operation unit 45 is composed of a player light amount increase unit 45a and a player light amount increase unit 45b. This player light amount operation unit 45 can be operated regardless of whether or not a variable performance is being performed, and is configured so that the player can adjust the light amount value at any timing. Note that the light amount value set by the player light amount operation unit 45 may be referred to as the "player operated light amount value", but since the light amount value output from the pachinko machine 10 is configured to be adjustable only by the operation of the player light amount operation unit 45, this means that the player operated light amount value and the actual light amount value are the same value.

[0104] Moreover, the light amount value output from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured to be adjustable only by the player light amount operation unit 45.

[0105] The front frame 14 is provided with various light-emitting means such as lamps around its periphery (for example, at the corners). These light-emitting means change and control their light-emitting modes by turning on or blinking in response to changes in the game state, such as when a jackpot is hit or a specified "reach display" is reached, and serve to enhance the presentation effect during the game. The periphery of the window portion 14c is provided with illumination units 29-33 incorporating light-emitting means such as light-emitting diodes (Light Emitting Diodes, hereafter abbreviated as "LEDs").

[0106] In the pachinko machine 10, these illumination units 29-33 function as performance lamps such as jackpot lamps, and when a jackpot or "reach display" occurs, the built-in LEDs of the illumination units 29-33 light up or flash to notify the player that a jackpot is occurring or that the player is in the "reach display" state just before the jackpot. In addition, an indicator lamp 34 is provided at the upper left of the front frame 14 as viewed from the front, which has a built-in light-emitting means such as an LED and can indicate when prize balls are being paid out and when an error has occurred.

[0107] A small window 35 is formed by attaching transparent resin to the underside of the right-side illumination section 32 from the back side so that the back side of the front frame 14 can be seen, and the certificate stamps and the like affixed to the attachment space K1 (see FIG. 3) on the front of the game board 13 can be seen from the front of the pachinko machine 10. In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, a plated member 36 made of chrome-plated acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (hereinafter abbreviated as "ABS") resin is attached to the area around the illumination sections 29-33 to create a more brilliant appearance.

[0108] A ball lending operation unit 40 is disposed below the window portion 14c. The ball lending operation unit 40 is provided with a number display unit 41, a ball lending button 42, and a return button 43. When the ball lending operation unit 40 is operated with bills, cards, etc. inserted into a card unit (ball lending unit, not shown) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10, balls are lent out in response to the operation. Specifically, the number display unit 41 is an area in which the remaining balance information of the card, etc. is displayed, and a built-in LED is lit to display the remaining balance in numbers as the remaining balance information. The ball lending button 42 is operated to obtain lent balls based on information recorded on a card, etc. (recording medium) as a predetermined operation, and lent balls are supplied to the upper tray 17 as long as there is a remaining balance on the card, etc. The return button 43 is operated when requesting the return of a card, etc. inserted into the card unit.

[0109] In addition, in pachinko machines where balls are directly dispensed from a ball dispenser to the upper tray 17 without going through a card unit, i.e., in so-called cash machines, the ball dispensing operation unit 40 is not necessary, but in this case, a decorative sticker or the like may be added to the installation part of the ball dispensing operation unit 40 to make the parts configuration common. It is possible to commonize pachinko machines using a card unit and cash machines.

[0110] The lower tray unit 15, located below the upper tray 17, has a lower tray 50 in the center, which is formed in a roughly box-like shape with an open top, for storing balls that could not be stored in the upper tray 17. On the right side of the lower tray 50, an operating handle 51 is arranged, which is operated by the player to shoot the ball into the front of the game board 13. Inside the operating handle 51, there are built-in a touch sensor 51a for permitting the operation of the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 10), a push-button type shooting stop switch 51b for stopping the shooting of the ball while it is being pressed, and a variable resistor (not shown) for detecting the amount of rotation of the operating handle 51 by a change in electrical resistance.

[0111] As a specific operation, when the operating handle 51 is rotated clockwise by the player, the touch sensor 51a is turned on and the resistance value of the variable resistor changes corresponding to the amount of operation, and the ball is shot with a strength corresponding to the resistance value of the variable resistor which changes according to the amount of rotation of the operating handle 51, thereby shooting the ball into the front of the game board 13 with a flight amount corresponding to the operation of the player. Also, when the operating handle 51 is not being operated by the player, the touch sensor 51a and the shot stop switch 51b are turned off.

[0112] A ball removal lever 52 is provided on the lower front part of the lower tray 50 to be operated when discharging the balls stored in the lower tray 50 downward. This ball removal lever 52 is always biased to the right, and as a specific operation, by sliding it to the left against the bias, a bottom opening formed on the bottom surface of the lower tray 50 opens, and the balls fall naturally from the bottom opening and are discharged. This ball removal lever 52 is usually operated with a box (generally called a "dollar box") that receives the balls discharged from the lower tray 50 placed below the lower tray 50. As described above, the operating handle 51 is disposed on the right side of the lower tray 50, and an ashtray 53 is attached to the left side of the lower tray 50.

[0113] Next, as shown in Fig. 2, the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 is mainly equipped with control board units 90, 91 and a back pack unit 94. The control board unit 90 is unitized with a main board (main control device 110), a voice lamp control board (voice lamp control device 113) and a display control board (display control device 114). The control board unit 91 is unitized with a payout control board (payout control device 111), a launch control board (launch control device 112), a power supply board (power supply device 115) and a card unit connection board 116.

[0114] The back pack unit 94 is a unit formed by the back pack 92 forming the protective cover and the payout unit 93. In addition, each control board is equipped with a micro-processing unit (hereinafter abbreviated as "MPU") as a one-chip microcomputer that controls each control, a port for communicating with various devices, a random number generator used in various lotteries, a clock pulse generating circuit used for time counting and synchronization, etc. as necessary.

[0115] The main control device 110, the voice lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114, the payout control device 111 and the launch control device 112, the power supply device 115, and the card unit connection board 116 are each stored in the board boxes 100 to 104. The board boxes 100 to 104 each include a box base and a box cover that covers the opening of the box base, and the box base and the box cover are connected to each other to store the respective control devices and boards.

[0116] In addition, the board box 100 (main control device 110) and the board box 102 (dispensing control device 111 and launch control device 112) are connected (connected by a crimping structure) between the box base and the box cover by a sealing unit (not shown). In addition, a sealing seal (not shown) is affixed to the connection between the box base and the box cover, spanning the box base and the box cover. This sealing seal is made of a brittle material, and if an attempt is made to peel off the sealing seal to open the board box 100, 102 or to forcefully open the board box 100, 102, it will be cut into the box base side and the box cover side. Therefore, by checking the sealing unit or the sealing seal, it is possible to know whether the board box 100, 102 has been opened.

[0117] A base display device 401 is disposed on the main board constituting the main control device 110, and is assembled so that the display screen of the base display device 401 can be seen when looking at the rear side of the pachinko machine 10. The base display device 401 normally displays a base value (the number (ratio) of balls paid out (awarded) for 100 balls shot in normal game mode), while displaying a set scenario number in a set scenario number change mode and a set scenario number confirmation mode. The base display device 401 is also configured to be able to display an error history.

[0118] Also provided on the main board that constitutes main control device 110 are setting keys 501, which are used to change the setting scenario number that serves as a set reference value or to check the set setting scenario number, and an error display button 502, which is used to display an error history on the base display device 401. Setting keys 501 and error display button 502 are provided protruding from the main board through holes provided in board box 100, and can be operated by hall personnel or the like without opening board box 100.

[0119] The set scenario number is a value that can be set by a hall staff member or the like when the power supply of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on. In addition, in the pachinko machine 10, the probability setting value as the setting content is configured to be set based on this set scenario number (details will be described later with reference to FIG. 9).

[0120] Here, the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured so that the probability setting value can be changed as the player progresses in the game, that is, as the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed as the display mode. Specifically, in conventional pachinko machines, in order to prevent the player from illegally changing the setting, only the hall personnel can change the probability setting value by performing the setting change operation during the start-up process of the pachinko machine, and the probability setting value set at the time of power-up is configured to be unchangeable or difficult to change during the game. In contrast, the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured so that the probability setting value corresponding to the set scenario number is set by setting a set scenario number at the time of power-up, and further, the player plays the game, and the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed, resulting in a predetermined game result corresponding to the set scenario number (for example, reaching a predetermined number of rotations), thereby making it possible to change the probability setting value corresponding to the set scenario number set at the time of startup.

[0121] By configuring in this way, for example, even if the current game situation of the pachinko machine 10 has continued to be in a state where it is difficult to win a jackpot, the probability setting value can be changed by the player continuing to play and executing the dynamic display of the special pattern to match the setting content of the set scenario number, so that by continuing to play, the probability setting value may change to a value that makes it easier to acquire game value than the probability setting value set in the pachinko machine 10 up to that point, which leads to a motivation for the player to continue playing the pachinko machine 10, and it is possible to increase interest by creating new playability, and to increase the player's willingness to play, thereby promoting the operation of the pachinko machine 10. Details of the change in the probability setting value during play will be described later in FIG. 9.

[0122] The payout unit 93 includes a tank 130 located at the top of the back pack unit 94 and opening upward, a tank rail 131 connected to the bottom of the tank 130 and gently inclined toward the downstream side, a case rail 132 connected vertically to the downstream side of the tank rail 131, and a payout device 133 provided at the most downstream part of the case rail 132 and performing ball payout by a predetermined electrical configuration of a payout motor 216 (see FIG. 10). The tank 130 is successively replenished with balls supplied from the island equipment of the game hall, and the payout device 133 appropriately pays out the required number of balls. A vibrator 134 for applying vibration to the tank rail 131 is attached to the tank rail 131.

[0123] In addition, the payout control device 111 is provided with a state recovery switch 120, the launch control device 112 is provided with an operating knob 121 for a variable resistor, and the power supply device 115 is provided with a RAM erase switch 503 as an operating device. The state recovery switch 120 is operated to resolve ball jams (return to normal state) when a payout error occurs, such as ball jamming in the payout motor 216 (see FIG. 10). The operating knob 121 is operated to adjust the firing force of the launch solenoid. The RAM erase switch 503 is operated as a specific operation when the power is turned on to return the pachinko machine 10 to its initial state.

[0124] Furthermore, the sound lamp control device 113 is provided with a hall volume operation unit 117 (see FIG. 2). As described above, the hall volume operation unit 117 is an operation unit for the hall operation volume value that can be operated by hall personnel, etc., and is configured to be operable with a tool or the like through a hole provided in the back pack 92. In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the hall operation volume value is configured to be adjustable in eight stages by operating the hall volume operation unit 117 as a predetermined task (described later in FIG. 24).

[0125] Next, a specific configuration of the game board 13 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. First, as shown in Fig. 3, the game board 13 is provided with a wooden base board 60 machined into a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, a number of nails, windmills and rails 61, 62 for guiding balls, a general winning hole 63 and a right general winning hole 63a through which a predetermined prize ball can be obtained by a winning ball, a variable winning device 65 that opens when a jackpot of the third symbol occurs, and a ball entry section that serves as a lottery trigger for a first special symbol, which is one of the third symbols (so-called special symbols as a display form). The reel is constructed by assembling together a first starting hole 64 as a ball entry portion which triggers the drawing of the second special symbol which is one of the third symbols, a through gate 67 which triggers the drawing of the second symbol (so-called normal symbol), a normal electric device 72 which allows a ball to enter the second starting hole 71 when opened, a third symbol display device 81, and a variable display device unit 80 which has a second symbol display device 83, etc., and its peripheral portion is attached to the back side of the inner frame 12.

[0126] The general winning opening 63, the right general winning opening 63a, the first start opening 64, the variable winning device 65, the second start opening 71, the through gate 67, the normal electric role 72, and the variable display unit 80 are disposed in through holes formed in the base plate 60 by router processing, and are fixed from the front side of the game board 13 with wood screws or the like. Also, the front center part of the game board 13 can be seen from the front side of the inner frame 12 through the window part 14c (see FIG. 1) of the front frame 14. The configuration of the game board 13 will be described below mainly with reference to FIG. 3.

[0127] An outer rail 62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a substantially arc shape is set up on the front of the game board 13, and an arc-shaped inner rail 61 formed from a strip-shaped metal plate similar to the outer rail 62 is set up on the inside of the outer rail 62. The inner rail 61 and the outer rail 62 surround the front periphery of the game board 13, and the game board 13 and the glass unit 16 (see FIG. 1) surround the front and rear, forming a game area in front of the game board 13 where games are played based on the behavior of the ball. The game area is a substantially circular area (an area where winning holes and the like are arranged and where shot balls flow down) defined on the front of the game board 13 by the two rails 61, 62 and the arc member 70.

[0128] The two rails 61, 62 are provided to guide the ball launched from the ball launching unit 112a (see FIG. 5) to the upper part of the game board 13. A return ball prevention member 68 is attached to the tip part (upper left part of FIG. 3) of the inner rail 61, and prevents the ball once guided to the upper part of the game board 13 from returning back into the ball guide passage. A return rubber 69 is attached to the tip part (upper right part of FIG. 3) of the outer rail 62 at a position corresponding to the maximum flight part of the ball, and a ball launched with a predetermined force or more hits the return rubber 69 and bounces back to the center while its force is attenuated (hereinafter, the act of launching a ball with the force of hitting the return rubber 69 and passing the right side of the variable display unit 80 as viewed from the front is referred to as a "right-handed play", while the act of launching a ball and passing the left side of the variable display unit 80 as viewed from the front is referred to as a "left-handed play"). In the first embodiment, in a left-handed game, the ball can or easily enters the first start hole 64 or the general winning hole 63, while the ball is difficult or does not enter the second start hole 71, the variable winning device 65, the normal electric role 72, the through gate 67, or the right-side general winning hole 63a. Also, in a right-handed game, the ball can or easily enter the second start hole 71, the variable winning device 65, the normal electric role 72, the through gate 67, or the right-side general winning hole 63a, while the ball is difficult or does not enter the first start hole 64 or the general winning hole 63.

[0129] In addition, between the lower right tip of the inner rail 61 and the upper right tip of the outer rail 62, a resin arc member 70 formed with an arc connecting the rails on the inner side is hammered into the base plate 60 and fixed thereto.

[0130] A special symbol display device 37 is provided at the lower left side of the game area when viewed from the front (lower left side of Fig. 3), which includes a status LED group 37a, a special LED group 37b, and a right-hit notification lamp 37c, which are composed of multiple LEDs that are light-emitting means. The special symbol display device 37 displays the first and second special symbols in a variable manner (hereinafter, the variable display of both special symbols is referred to as "dynamic display") as a display form corresponding to each control performed by the main control device 110 (see Fig. 10) described later, and also displays the game status of the pachinko machine 10.

[0131] The status LED group 37a indicates, by the lighting state, the number of reserved balls, which is the number of balls (reserved balls) that have not yet been displayed as a variable display among the balls that have won (entered) the first starting hole 64 or the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry section described later. In addition, the number of jackpot rounds (hereinafter, the round may be simply referred to as "R") and error display are also indicated by the lighting state of the status LED group 37a corresponding to the state. The status LED group 37a is configured so that each LED has a different light emission color (for example, red, green, blue), and various game states of the pachinko machine 10 can be indicated by the combination of the light emission colors with a small number of LEDs.

[0132] In addition, a "round" in a jackpot refers to the period from when the large prize opening opening / closing plate 65a, which opens and closes the variable prize winning device 65 described later in order to divide the number of winning balls in a jackpot, is opened to when it is closed. In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, one "round" is executed when "30 seconds" have elapsed since the large prize opening opening / closing plate 65a began to open, or when 10 balls win while the large prize opening opening / closing plate 65a is open.

[0133] The special LED group 37b is composed of a total of 12 LEDs, including an upper LED group 37b1 composed of six LEDs and a lower LED group 37b2 also composed of six LEDs. The upper LED group 37b1 dynamically displays a first special symbol indicating the result of a first lottery game executed based on the entry of a ball into the first starting hole 64. The lower LED group 37b2 dynamically displays a second special symbol indicating the result of a second lottery game executed based on the entry of a ball into the second starting hole 71.

[0134] Specifically, the upper LED group 37b1 displays a dynamic display (in the first embodiment, the LEDs in the upper LED group 37b1 are lit up one by one in sequence, starting from the topmost LED in the upper LED group 37b1 and the lower LEDs are repeatedly lit) until a variable time (dynamic display time) has elapsed that is determined based on the winning of a ball into the first starting hole 64, which serves as an entry section provided in the center of the surface of the game board 13, and then displays a stopped pattern indicating the judgment result (in the first embodiment, any of a total of 64 types of stopping patterns depending on the combination of the lighting patterns of the six LEDs).

[0135] In addition, the lower LED group 37b2 displays a dynamic display (in the first embodiment, the LEDs in the lower LED group 37b2 are lit one by one in sequence, starting from the uppermost LED in the lower LED group 37b2, and this lighting pattern is repeatedly displayed) until a variable time (dynamic display time) determined based on the winning of a ball into the second starting hole 71, which serves as an entry section provided on the right side of the game board 13, has elapsed, and then displays a stopped pattern indicating the judgment result (in the first embodiment, any of a total of 64 types of stopping patterns depending on the combination of the lighting patterns of the six LEDs).

[0136] In both LED groups 37b1 and 37b2, if the result of the judgment is a miss, only the leftmost LED is lit, and if the result of the judgment is a jackpot, each LED group is lit in a lighting pattern corresponding to the type (category) of the jackpot. Details of the stop patterns of each LED group will be described later.

[0137] In this pachinko machine 10, a judgment is made as to whether or not a ball that enters the first starting hole 64 or the second starting hole 71, which serve as the ball entry section, is a jackpot or not (jackpot lottery), and if a jackpot is determined in each judgment, a judgment is also made as to the type of jackpot depending on which entry hole 64 or 71 the ball entered into, and the variable entry device 65 is opened and closed depending on the type of jackpot.

[0138] In the first embodiment, the types of jackpots that are determined include a "5-round time-saving jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "time-saving A")" in which the variable winning device 65 opens five times based on winning the first starting hole 64 as the ball entry part, and a "5-round certain variable jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "certain variable A")" in which the variable winning device 65 opens five times (see FIG. 10(a)). In addition, based on winning the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry part, a "10-round time-saving jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "time-saving B")" in which the variable winning device 65 opens ten times, and a "10-round certain variable jackpot (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "certain variable B")" in which the variable winning device 65 opens ten times are provided (see FIG. 14(b)).

[0139] Here, the "normal game state" as the predetermined state refers to a game state that is neither the "time shortening state" nor the "probability changing state", and refers to a state in which the jackpot probability of each special symbol as a display form and the hit probability of the normal symbol are in a normal state (i.e., a low probability state) and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is short. In other words, the "normal game state" as the predetermined state is configured so that the jackpot probability of each special symbol is lower than in the "probability changing state", and the hit probability of the normal symbol is lower than in the "probability changing state" and the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" (equivalent to the "normal symbol low probability time shortening state"), and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is also short.

[0140] Details will be described later, but in the "normal game state" as a predetermined state, when a so-called right-hand hit game is performed, it is not a game state in which the ball is likely to win the normal electric role 72 (hereinafter, the state in which the ball is likely to win the normal electric role 72 may be referred to as the "winning assistance state"), but is the most disadvantageous game state for the player. In the "normal game state", when a ball shot in a right-hand hit game is detected as a specific game operation (for example, detection of the ball passing through the through gate 67, etc.), a predetermined alarm (for example, a voice output of "Please return to left-hand hit game" or a display of "Please return to left-hand hit game" on the third pattern display device 81) is output in order to inform the player and hall personnel that a game that is not recommended is being played. By configuring in this way, it is possible to suppress the continuous execution of a non-recommended right-hand hit game in the "normal game state", and to realize the game performance according to the game specifications.

[0141] In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, when the probability of winning a special symbol as a display form is in a low probability state, if the player does not win a jackpot a predetermined number of times in succession in the dynamic display (in the first embodiment, "600 times"), the player is provided with a function (so-called ceiling function) that generates a "normal symbol low probability time shortening state" in which the variable time of the normal symbol is shortened and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is lengthened, even though the jackpot probability of the special symbol and the winning probability of the normal symbol are in a low probability state (hereinafter, when the probability of winning a special symbol is in a low probability state, the "normal symbol low probability time shortening state" without winning a jackpot "600 times" in succession in the dynamic display is referred to as "establishment of the rescue condition", and the number of times when the "rescue condition is established" when the probability of winning a special symbol is in a low probability state may be referred to as the "number of times the rescue condition is established").

[0142] Next, the "normal high probability time shortening state" refers to a state in which the probability of winning each special symbol as a display form is a low probability state like the "normal game state" and the "normal low probability time shortening state" described later, but the winning probability of the normal symbol increases, the variable display time of the normal symbol (hereinafter, the variable display of the normal symbol is referred to as "variable display") is shortened, and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is lengthened (hereinafter, the increase in the winning probability of the normal symbol, the shortening of the variable display time of the normal symbol, and the lengthening of the opening time of the normal electric role 72 may be referred to as the "high probability time shortening function"). In this "normal high probability time shortening state", the normal electric role 72 provided above the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry part becomes more likely to be in an open state, and the ball launched by right-handed play as a specific game operation becomes more likely to enter the second starting hole 71.

[0143] That is, in the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state", the probability of winning a jackpot with a special symbol is the same as in the "normal game state" as a predetermined state, but a win with a normal symbol is more likely to be derived in a shorter time than in the "normal game state", and the open state of the normal electric role 72 is longer. Therefore, in the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state", it is easier to make a ball shot by right-hand play enter the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry part, so it is possible to play while obtaining a prize ball (for example, 1 ball / entry) as a predetermined setting based on the entry into the second starting hole 71 and suppressing the decrease in the number of balls held.

[0144] In the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" is a state in which the probability of winning of the normal symbol is high from the start of the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" until the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (in the first embodiment, the dynamic display of the first special symbol is executed "100 times", the dynamic display of the second special symbol is executed "120 times", or the total number of times the dynamic display of the first special symbol and the dynamic display of the second special symbol are executed "120 times"). Then, after the dynamic display of the special symbol is executed the specified number of times, the machine is configured to transition from the "normal symbol high probability time shortening state" to the "normal game state".

[0145] In addition, in the "normal high probability time shortening state", the "normal low probability time shortening state" described later, or the "probability changing state" described later, if it is detected that a ball has been shot by a left-handed hit as a specific game operation (for example, detection of a ball entering the first starting hole 64 as the ball entry part), a predetermined alarm (for example, a voice output of "Please hit to the right" or a display of "Please hit to the right") is output to inform the player and hall personnel that a non-recommended game is being played. By configuring in this way, it is possible to suppress the continued execution of non-recommended left-handed hit games in the "normal high probability time shortening state", the "normal low probability time shortening state", or the "probability changing state", and to realize game play according to the game specifications.

[0146] Next, the "normal low probability time shortening state" is a state in which the probability of a jackpot for each special symbol as a display form is low, similar to the "normal game state" and the "normal high probability time shortening state", and the probability of a hit for a normal symbol is low, similar to the "normal game state" as a predetermined state, while the variable display time of the normal symbol is shortened and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is long, similar to the "probability fluctuating state" and the "normal high probability time shortening state" (hereinafter, the state in which the probability of a hit for a normal symbol is low, while the variable display time of the normal symbol is shortened and the opening time of the normal electric role 72 is long, may be referred to as the "low probability time shortening function". Also, the "high probability time shortening function" and the "low probability time shortening function" may be collectively referred to as the "time shortening function"), so that a ball launched by right-hand play as a specific game operation is more likely to enter the second starting hole 71 as the ball entry part.

[0147] That is, in the "normal low probability time shortening state", the probability of winning the special symbol and the probability of winning the normal symbol are equal to those in the "normal game state" as a predetermined state, but the winning by the variable display of the normal symbol is more likely to be derived in a shorter time than in the "normal game state", and the open state of the normal electric role 72 is longer. Therefore, in the "normal low probability time shortening state", it is easier to make the ball shot by right-hitting play enter the second starting hole 71, so it is possible to play while obtaining a prize ball (for example, 1 ball / entry) based on the entry into the second starting hole 71 and suppressing the decrease in the number of balls held.

[0148] This "regular pattern low probability time shortening state" is configured to transition to the "regular pattern low probability time shortening state" if, after a jackpot, a jackpot has not been won "600 times in a row" in the low probability state of the special pattern, that is, if misses continue to be extracted while the dynamic display of the special pattern is being performed "600 times" in the low probability state of the special pattern.

[0149] In addition, the "normal low probability time short...
