Pachinko gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of smoothly progressing a game.SOLUTION: Held ball count data can be subtracted on the basis of the operation of counting means. When the counting means is newly operated and a first time has passed since the operation state is entered, an automatic counting state is entered in which a first value is subtracted from the held ball count data every predetermined time even if the counting means is subsequently in a non-operation state. In a predetermined situation in which the held ball count data is 1 or more in the automatic counting state, a predetermined error state is entered, and then at first timing after the predetermined error state is cancelled, the automatic counting state is not entered and the held ball count data is 1 or more. In a predetermined situation in which the held ball count data is 1 or more in the automatic counting state, a specific error state is entered, and then at first timing after the specific error state is cancelled, the automatic counting state is not entered and the held ball count data is 0.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 559

Claims

[Claim 1] A starting opening into which game balls can be inserted, An identification information display unit capable of displaying identification information, A large prize slot that can take on both a closed and an open state, A main control means for controlling the progress of the game, A display unit capable of displaying effects, Sub-control means for controlling the performance and Equipped with, A means for acquiring game information based on the ball entering the starting gate, When game information is acquired by the acquisition means, a storage means temporarily stores the acquired game information in reserve until the conditions for granting permission to determine win or loss are met. If the conditions for granting permission to determine success or failure are met, the success or failure determination means performs a success or failure determination based on the game information acquired by the acquisition means, An identification information display control means controls the identification information display unit to change and then stop displaying the identification information based on the game information acquired by the acquisition means, The system includes a special game control means that enables the execution of a special game in which the jackpot opening is opened after the identification information is stopped and displayed in a predetermined stop display mode on the identification information display unit. The main control means is, It is possible to perform interrupt processing, which is a process that is executed at predetermined intervals. It has a first memory area in which a program that controls the progress of the game is stored, and a second memory area in which a program different from the program that controls the progress of the game is stored. The sub-control means is, A performance display content control means for controlling the performance display content displayed in the performance display unit, It has a performance symbol display control means that controls the performance symbol to change and then stop displaying after the performance symbol is displayed in the performance display unit. It is possible to store information regarding the difference between the number of game values ​​assigned and the number of game values ​​used. When the information regarding the difference reaches a predetermined number, the system is configured to enter a suppression state in which control is executed to suppress the acquisition of game value. In the interrupt processing described above, processing can be performed to output a first test signal related to a special game, a second test signal related to a special game which is a different test signal from the first test signal, and a third test signal related to a suppression state to the outside of the gaming machine. However, the system is configured such that there is no receiving connector for outputting the first test signal, the second test signal, and the third test signal, and the first test signal, the second test signal, and the third test signal are not output to the outside of the gaming machine. In a single interrupt process, the system is configured to execute a process for outputting the first test signal outside the gaming machine, followed by a process for outputting the second test signal outside the gaming machine, or to execute a process for outputting both the first and second test signals outside the gaming machine simultaneously. In a single interrupt process, the process for outputting the third test signal outside the gaming machine is configured to be executed before the process for outputting the first test signal outside the gaming machine and the process for outputting the second test signal outside the gaming machine are executed, or after the process for outputting the first test signal outside the gaming machine and the process for outputting the second test signal outside the gaming machine are executed. As processing by the program stored in the second memory area, a process is executed to determine whether the information regarding the difference has reached the predetermined number. The system is configured to execute a process that puts the system into a suppressed state as a process performed by the program stored in the first memory area. When a suppression state is entered while identification information is displayed in the identification information display unit and performance symbols are displayed in the performance display unit, at the first timing after the suppression state is entered, the identification information is not displayed in the identification information display unit, and performance symbols are displayed in the performance display unit. When a suppression state is entered, the system is configured to display a suppression indicator corresponding to the suppression state on the display unit. The system is configured to display a predetermined standby display on the display unit when certain conditions are met. When the predetermined standby display is shown on the display unit and the system enters a suppressed state, the display symbols for the performance will not be shown, and the suppressed display may be shown instead. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
