Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は可動翼片によって開閉される大入賞口および遊技者に利益を与える特定領域を備えた入賞装置が遊技盤に装着されたパチンコ機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の技術としては例えば特開平５−１７７号公報がある。この公報には入賞球が特定入賞領域を通過したときに図柄を変動表示した後特定表示する図柄表示体を入賞装置に設けてこの図柄表示体が特定表示した図柄の表示結果に基いて可動翼片の拡開動作回数を設定するようにしたパチンコ機が開示されている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は図柄表示体が確定した確定図柄が遊技者に利益を与える図柄となる確率を変化させることによってゲ−ムに対する期待感を高めることを課題とするものである。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明のパチンコ機は、遊技盤面に、始動口と、入賞制御回路によってコントロールされる入賞装置とを別個に設置し、前記入賞装置には、前記遊技盤面に発射されたパチンコ球が前記始動口に落入することにより拡開動作および復帰動作して大入賞口を開閉する可動翼片と、前記大入賞口に落入した入賞球を特定領域と非特定領域とに振り分ける振り分け機構と、前記特定領域を通過した特定球を検出する特定球検出スイッチと、前記特定球が検出されたときに図柄の変動表示を停止して図柄を確定する図柄表示体と、を備え、前記入賞制御回路は、前記特定球検出スイッチの検出信号に基いて前記可動翼片の拡開動作および復帰動作による前記大入賞口の反復開閉動作を、所定回数の反復開閉動作が行われるまで又はその所定回数の反復開閉動作中に当該大入賞口に所定個数のパチンコ球が入賞するまで行う所定回数反復開閉動作制御手段と、前記図柄表示体に確定表示された確定図柄に基づいて、前記大入賞口の所定回数反復開閉動作の繰り返し回数を決定する繰り返し回数決定手段と、前記当り図柄が確定表示される確率をゲ−ム進行中に切換える確率切換え手段と、を備え、前記繰り返し回数決定手段は、前記図柄表示体に確定表示された確定図柄が予め定めた当り図柄であるときに前記大入賞口の所定回数反復開閉動作の繰り返し回数を予め定めた第１の回数に決定し、前記当り図柄以外の外れ図柄であるときに前記大入賞口の所定回数反復開閉動作の繰り返し回数を前記第１の回数よりも少ない第２の回数に決定し、前記所定回数反復開閉動作制御手段は、前記繰り返し回数決定手段で決定された第１の回数又は第２の回数のいずれかの回数の前記大入賞口の所定回数反復開閉動作を繰り返し実行し、前記確率切換え手段は、前記図柄表示体が１回目の特定球検出時に確定した確定図柄が前記当り図柄となったときに２回目の特定球検出によって前記当り図柄が出現する確率を、１回目の当り図柄によって実行される前記大入賞口の所定回数反復開閉動作の繰り返し回数が終了した時点で通常確率から高確率に切換える一方、高確率に切り換えられた状態で前記図柄表示体に前記外れ図柄が確定表示されると前記当り図柄が表示される確率を前記高確率から通常確率に直ちに切り換え、前記振り分け機構が入賞球を振り分ける球振り分け態様が前記図柄表示体が確定した確定図柄に基いて指定されるように設定してあると共に、前記図柄表示体の確定図柄が当り図柄になったときに、特定球が発生し、前記図柄の確定が行なわれやすい状況を出現するように設定した構成を有する。
【０００５】
【作用】
請求項１に記載した構成を有するパチンコ機において、大入賞口に落入した入賞球のうち、振り分け機構によって振り分けられた入賞球が特定領域を通過してその特定球が特定球検出スイッチによって検出されると、図柄表示体が図柄の変動表示を停止して図柄を確定し、この図柄表示体が確定した確定図柄に基いて大入賞口の所定回数反復開閉動作の繰り返し回数が決定される。また、図柄表示体が１回目の特定球検出時に確定した確定図柄が当り図柄となったときに２回目の特定球検出によって当り図柄が出現する確率を、１回目の当り図柄によって付与された大入賞口の所定回数反復開閉動作の繰り返し回数が終了した時点で通常確率から高確率に切換えられる一方、高確率に切り換えられた状態で前記図柄表示体に前記外れ図柄が確定表示されると前記当り図柄が表示される確率を前記高確率から通常確率に直ちに切り換えられる。また、図柄表示体が確定した確定図柄に基いて大入賞口の開閉態様と、振り分け機構が入賞球を振り分ける球振り分け態様とが同時に変更される。
【０００６】
【発明の効果】
本発明は前記したように構成してあるので、請求項１によれば図柄表示体が確定する確定図柄によって大入賞口への連続入賞が可能となって特別な利益が与えられる状態を長い時間出現させたり、短い時間出現させたりすることができ、大入賞口への入賞発生が長期的には平均的な入賞発生状態となるように設定しても、短期的には特別な利益が与えられる可能性が高い状況と、特別な利益が与えられる可能性が低い状況とを出現させることができる。
【０００７】
とくに、当り図柄の出現確率をゲ−ム中に切換えることができるので、大入賞口への入賞発生が容易な状況の出現を遊技者に期待させることができ、ゲ−ムに対する期待感を引起してゲ−ムの興趣を高めることができる。
【０００８】
また、図柄表示体が確定した確定図柄に基いて大入賞口の開閉態様を指定することができるので、大入賞口の開閉態様の設定を多様化して特別な利益が与えられる条件の設定を多様に変化させることができる。
【０００９】
また、高確率に切り換えられた状態で、図柄表示体に外れ図柄が確定表示されると、当り図柄が表示される確率が高確率から通常確率に切り換えられるので、当り図柄が確定表示される限り特別な利益が与えられる状態が継続する可能性が高くなり、ゲ−ムに対する期待感が高められる。
【００１０】
更に、図柄表示体の確定図柄に基いて大入賞口の開閉態様と振り分け機構による球振り分け態様とを同時に変更することができるので、大入賞口への入賞発生の難易度と特定球発生の難易度とを同時に変更してゲ−ムの興趣を高めることができるとともに、振り分け機構の作動態様を多様に設定することができる。
【００１１】
【実施例】
次に、本発明がカ−ド式パチンコ機に適用された１実施例を図面にしたがって説明する。パチンコ機の本体枠１００の下部には上皿１０１と、下皿１０２と、ハンドル１０３とが装着され、本体枠１００内には遊技盤１が設置されている。
【００１２】
本体枠１００の下部で上皿１０１の若干上方には払い出し表示ＬＥＤ１０４と、カ−ド返却ボタン１０５と、カ−ド残高表示ＬＥＤ１０６と、球貸しボタン１０７と、球貸し可ＬＥＤ１０８とが横一列に配列されて設置されている。
【００１３】
本体枠１００の片側には縦長状のカ−ドユニット１１０が隣設され、このカ−ドユニット１１０には上から順にカ−ド利用可ランプ１１１と、端数表示ボタン１１２と、カ−ド挿入中ランプ１１３と、カ−ド挿入口１１４と、カ−ドユニット鍵１１５とが設置されている。
【００１４】
遊技盤１において、遊技盤面１ａの中央部には入賞装置２が設置され、遊技盤面１ａの下端付近には中始動口１０ａおよび中始動口スイッチ１０ａを有する始動口付き役物１０と、左始動口８ａおよび左始動口スイッチ８ｂを有する始動口付き役物８と、右始動口９ａおよび右始動口スイッチ９ｂを有する始動口付き役物９とが設置されている。
【００１５】
遊技盤面１ａの下部の左右端部付近には左下入賞口６ａを有するチュ−リップ式役物６と、右下入賞口７ａを有するチュ−リップ式役物７とが設置され、遊技盤面１ａの上下方向中央部の左右部には左入賞口４ａを有する入賞口付き役物４と、右入賞口５ａを有する入賞口付き役物５とが設置されている。
【００１６】
遊技盤１の裏側にはゲ−ムに関する諸機能をコントロ−ルする入賞制御回路を有する制御基板３が設置されている。
【００１７】
入賞装置２において、遊技盤面１ａにねじ止めされたケ−ス本体１１の内部には前方開放の入賞室１２が形成されるとともに、ケ−ス本体１１の前端部の上端には天入賞口１３が開口されている。
【００１８】
ケ−ス本体１１の上下方向中央部の前側にはパチンコ球を入賞室１２内へ導入する左右１対の大入賞口１４が開設されている。
【００１９】
ケ−ス本体１１内の前下端部の左右方向中央部には入賞室１２内へ落入した入賞球を入賞装置２外へ送り出す球出口３２が開口され、この球出口３２の下方には遊技盤１の裏面に取付けられて球出口３２から送り出された入賞球を検出する大入賞口スイッチ３３が設置されている。
【００２０】
ケ−ス本体１１の上下方向の中央部付近の前側には外方へ傾倒する拡開動作によって大入賞口１４を開放し、内方への復帰動作によって大入賞口１４を閉鎖する左右１対の可動翼片１５が内外方向への傾動可能に軸支されている。
【００２１】
ケ−ス本体１１の後端には制御基板３の入賞制御回路のソレノイド駆動部によって駆動制御されて両可動翼片１５を駆動し、両可動翼片１５の姿勢を拡開姿勢と起立姿勢とに変換させる左右１対の大入賞口ソレノイド１６が結合され、パチンコ球が始動口８ａ，９ａ，１０ａに落入すると、その１秒後に両大入賞口ソレノイド１６が駆動されて大入賞口１４が０．２５秒間開放される。
【００２２】
ケ−ス本体１１内の前端の上下方向中央部には大入賞口１４へ落入した入賞球が転落する棚板１８が入賞室１２の前部を上下に仕切った状態で横架されている。
【００２３】
大入賞口１４に落入した入賞球を振り分ける振り分け機構（キャラクタ）２０において、ケ−ス本体１１内の中央部には振り分け部材（キャラクタ本体）２１が昇降動作可能に設置され、この振り分け部材２１内にはこの振り分け部材２１の前端の中央部に開口された入口部と、振り分け部材２１の後下端部に開口された出口部とを有し、入賞球が通過したときに遊技者に利益を授与する特定領域２４が形成されている。
【００２４】
ケ−ス本体１１内の後下端部には特定領域２４を通過した特定球を検出して入賞制御回路のスイッチ検出部に検出信号を出力する特定球検出スイッチ（近接スイッチ）２５が設置され、大入賞口１５に落入した入賞球のうち特定領域２４を通過した特定球が特定球検出スイッチ２５によって検出されると、その約３．５秒後に入賞制御回路の役物連続装置が作動し、両可動翼片１５が駆動されて拡開動作を反復し、両大入賞口１４が２６．３秒間に１８回反復して開閉され、約３．５秒閉鎖した後再び１８回反復開閉される。
【００２５】
このとき、大入賞口１４は１８回反復開閉のうち１回目から１３回目までは０．８秒間開放されて０．７秒間閉鎖される開閉態様を反復し、１４回目から１８回目までは１秒間停止して０．５秒間閉鎖される開閉態様を反復する。
【００２６】
ケ−ス本体１１の後方に設置された取付け板３０には入賞制御回路のキャラクタ駆動部によって駆動制御されて振り分け部材２１を昇降させるキャラクタモ−タ２６が固定され、このキャラクタモ−タ２６の出力軸には昇降部材２８に連繋されたカム２７が固定され、このカム２７には１８０°の角度範囲にわたって突出された凸部２７ａと、前方へ突出されて昇降部材２８に係合された伝動ピン２７ｂとが形成され、カム２７の１回転毎に昇降部材２８が１回昇降する。
【００２７】
カム２７の凸部２７ａはその始端が上死点へ旋回したときに昇降部材２８および振り分け部材２１が上死点へ上昇するように形成されている。昇降部材２１はキャラクタモ−タ２６によって駆動されて２秒間に１回の速度で昇降する。
【００２８】
取付け板３０にはカム２７の凸部２７ａの旋回位置を検出する検出部を有するキャラクタスイッチ（フォトインタラプタ）３１が固定され、このキャラクタスイッチ３１はカム２７の凸部２７ａの始端がキャラクタスイッチ３１の検出部内へ進入して振り分け部材２１が上死点へ上昇したとき、および、カム２７の凸部２７ａの終端がキャラクタスイッチ３１の検出部内から脱出して振り分け部材２１が下死点へ下降したときに入賞制御回路のスイッチ検出部に検出信号を出力する。
【００２９】
キャラクタモ−タ２６はパチンコ機の電源投入時に駆動されてその１〜３秒後に振り分け部材２１が下死点へ下降した時点で２．５秒間停止し、次に２秒間回転する間欠回転動作をタイマの指令によって反復し、振り分け部材２１は電源投入時に昇降動作を開始して１〜３秒後に下死点で２．５秒間停止し、次に、２秒間で１回昇降して下死点で停止する間欠回転動作を反復する。
【００３０】
ケ−ス本体１１内の前下部に前下り状に設置された底板１１ａ上には１個の入賞球の通り抜けが可能な球受け部材３４が振り分け部材２１の前側に隣接して立設されている。
【００３１】
球受け部材３４の上端には棚板１８の後端縁の左右方向中央部の後下方で、特定領域２４の入口部の前側に隣設された入口部３４ａが開口され、球受け部材３４の前下端には球出口３２の後方に設置された出口部３４ｂが開口されている。
【００３２】
振り分け部材２１が上死点へ上昇すると、特定領域２４の入口部が棚板１８の後端縁および球受け部材３４の後上方へ変位して特定領域２４の入口部が開放され、特定領域２４内への入賞球の進入が可能となり、入賞球が特定領域２４内および特定領域２４外へ振り分けられる。
【００３３】
振り分け部材２１が下死点へ下降すると、特定領域２４の入口部が球受け部材３４によって遮断され、特定領域２４内への入賞球の進入が不能となり、棚板１８上へ転落した入賞球は球受け部材３４内若しくはその左右方に振り分けられて球出口３２内へ落入する。
【００３４】
底板１１ａの上の左右端部付近で球受け部材３４の両側にはピンによって底板１１ａに左右方向への揺動可能に結合された左右１対の揺動部材３５が設置されている。
【００３５】
ケ−ス本体の後下端には入賞制御回路のキャラクタ駆動部によって駆動制御されて揺動部材３５を相反方向へ揺動させるキャラクタ用ソレノイド３６が結合され、キャラクタ用ソレノイド３６のプランジヤが進動したときには両揺動部材３５が共に内方の揺動端へ揺動して両揺動部材３５の前端部が接近し、球受け部材３４の出口部が両揺動部材３４によって遮断され、球受け部材３４内に落入した入賞球は球受け部材３４内に停留する。
【００３６】
両大入賞口１４の後側には大入賞口１４に入賞した入賞球数を点灯数によって表示する５個１組の大入賞口入賞数表示ＬＥＤ３８がそれぞれ設置されている。
【００３７】
ケ−ス体１１内の前下端部には入賞制御回路の確率設定記憶回路に記憶されたプログラムに基いて図柄を変動表示してから図柄を確定表示する図柄表示体４０が設置されている。
【００３８】
図柄表示体４０はパチンコ機の電源投入時に１１，２２，３３，４４，５５，６６，７７，８８の８図柄の変動表示を開始して８図柄を順に変動表示し、入賞球が特定領域２４を通過して特定球検出スイッチ２５によって検出されたときに図柄の変動表示を停止して８図柄のうちの１図柄を確定表示し、その後、図柄の変動表示を再開するように入賞制御回路の図柄駆動部によって作動制御される。
【００３９】
図柄表示体４０は図柄の変動表示に際し、０１〜０８の図柄デ−タにそれぞれ対応する１１，２２，３３，４４，５５，６６，７７，８８の８図柄を１図柄０．５１２秒，１周期０．５１２秒の移行速度で変動表示する。
【００４０】
図柄表示体４０が変動表示後確定した確定図柄が３３，７７の何れかとなってＣＰＵの図柄判定部によって当り図柄（特定図柄）と判定された場合には大入賞口１４の開閉態様すなわち大入賞口１４のト−タル開閉回数を指定する入賞制御回路の大入賞口開閉態様指定手段の指令によって大入賞口１４の１８回反復開閉が例えば１６回連続して繰返されるように設定されている。
【００４１】
図柄表示体４０が変動表示後確定表示した確定図柄が１１，２２，４４，５５，６６，８８となって図柄判定部によって外れ図柄と判定された場合には開閉態様指定手段の指令によって大入賞口１４の１８回反復開閉が例えば２回連続して繰返されるように設定されている。
【００４２】
但し、上記実施例では図柄表示体４０の確定図柄に基いて大入賞口１４の１８回反復開閉の繰り返し回数を指定するようにしたが、これに代えて特定球発生時の大入賞口１４の開閉回数を確定図柄に基いて指定するようにしてもよい。例えば、特定球が発生して図柄表示体４０の確定図柄が当り図柄３３，７７となった場合には、大入賞口１４が１６回反復して開閉され、確定図柄が外れ図柄１１，２２，４４，５５，６６，８８となった場合には大入賞口１４が２回反復して開閉されるように設定する。
【００４３】
図柄表示体４０が変動表示後確定する８図柄のうち当り図柄３３，７７が出現する確率は入賞制御回路の確率設定記憶回路４１の確率切換え手段によって通常確率と高確率とにゲ−ム進行中に切換えられるようにプログラミングされている。
【００４４】
当り図柄が出現する確率は電源投入時には通常確率となっており、本例では図柄表示体４０が１回目の特定球発生時に確定する確定図柄が、当り図柄となる確率は通常確率で、この１回目の確定図柄が当り図柄となった場合に図柄表示体４０が２回目の特定球発生時に確定する確定図柄が、当り図柄となる当り確率が高確率に切換えられるように設定されている。
【００４５】
確率切換え手段による当り図柄の切換えに際し、入賞球が特定領域２４を通過して役物連続作動装置が作動し、図柄表示体４０が確定した確定図柄が当り図柄となった場合に役物連続作動装置が作動を停止した時点で当り確率が通常確率から高確率に切換えられる。この状態で入賞球が再び特定領域２４を通過して役物連続作動装置が再作動し、図柄表示体４０が高確率状態で確定した確定図柄が外れ図柄となった場合にその時点で当り確率が高確率から通常確率に切換えられて役物連続作動装置が作動を停止した時点で電源投入時の状態に戻るようにプログラミングされている。但し、高確率中に当り図柄が出現した場合には高確率状態が継続する。
【００４６】
当り図柄が出現する当り確率の切換えに際し、判定デ−タとして使用する乱数の総数は１００個（０〜９９）で４ｍＳ毎に＋１されて０．４５で１回りし、役物連続作動装置の作動時に取出された乱数が判定図柄デ−タとなる。通常確率時には１００個の乱数のうち１７個の乱数が当り図柄用の判定図柄デ−タとなって当り図柄が出現する当り確率はプログラム上では１７／１００となり、外れ図柄が出現する外れ確率は８３／１００となるように設定されている。
【００４７】
また、高確率時には１００個の乱数のうち５０個（若しくは４６個，４２個）の乱数が当り図柄用の判定図柄デ−タとなって当り図柄が出現する確率は５０／１００となるように設定されている。
【００４８】
遊技盤１の裏側に設置されて制御基板３が内部に収納された基板ボックス内にはキ−が差込まれる鍵穴を有し、図柄表示体４０が高確率時に当り図柄を表示する確率をキ−操作によって３段階に切換える確率モ−ド設定スイッチ４２および３つの設定表示ＬＥＤが設置されている。
【００４９】
キ−を回動操作して確率モ−ド設定スイッチ４２の設定モ−ドを切換えると、３つの設定表示ＬＥＤ４３のうちの１個，２個乃至３個が点灯して確率モ−ドが３段階に変更され、高確率時に判定図柄デ−タとして使用される１００個の乱数のうち、５０個の乱数が当り図柄用の判定図柄デ−タとなって高確率時の当り図柄の出現確率が５０／１００となる場合と、１００個の乱数のうち、４６個の乱数が当り図柄用の判定図柄デ−タとなって高確率時の当り図柄の出現確率が４６／１００となる場合と、１００個の乱数のうち４２個の乱数が当り図柄用の判定図柄デ−タとなって高確率時の当り図柄の出現確率が４２／１００となる場合とに切換えられる。
【００５０】
ゲ−ムに際し、ハンドル１０３の回動操作によって遊技盤面１ａへ打込まれたパチンコ球が入賞口４ａ，５ａ，６ａ，７ａ，１３および始動口８ａ，９ａ，１０ａに入賞すると、５個のパチンコ球を獲得することができ、パチンコ球が大入賞口１４に入賞すると、１５個のパチンコ球を獲得することができる。
【００５１】
パチンコ機の電源投入時には振り分け部材２１は下死点で停止する間欠昇降動作を開始し、図柄表示体４０は図柄の変動表示を開始する。
【００５２】
パチンコ球が始動口８ａ，９ａ，１０ａに入賞すると、両可動翼片１５がその１秒後に１回拡開して両入賞口１４が０．２５秒間１回開放され、また、役物連続作動装置が約３．２５秒間作動してから作動を停止する。
【００５３】
大入賞口１４の開放中に大入賞口１４に入賞した入賞球が特別領域２４を通過してその特定球が特定球検出スイッチ２５によって検出されると、その時点で図柄表示体４０が図柄の変動表示を停止して図柄を確定表示し、また、その約３．５秒後に連続役物作動装置が作動し、可動翼片１５が反復拡開動作を開始して大入賞口１４の１８回反復開閉が図柄表示体４０の確定図柄に基いて２回又は１６回繰返される。
【００５４】
また、振り分け部材２１は入賞球が特別領域２４を通過したときに下死点で停止し、大入賞口１４の１０回目の開放時点、若しくは、大入賞口１４に入賞した入賞球が４個カウントされた時点で上昇して大入賞口１４の１８回目の閉鎖時点、若しくは、大入賞口１４に入賞した入賞球が１０個カウントされた時点までの間上死点で停止する。
【００５５】
両揺動部材３５は入賞球が特別領域２４を通過した時点で内外方向への反復揺動動作を開始して大入賞口１４の１回目の開放時点で外方の揺動端で静止し、また、大入賞口１４の１０回目の開放時点若しくは大入賞口１４に入賞した入賞球が４個カウントされた時点で揺動動作を２回反復して外方の揺動端で静止する。
【００５６】
パチンコ球が反復開閉中の大入賞口１４に１０個入賞したときにはその時点で大入賞口１４の反復開閉が停止する。
【００５７】
パチンコ球が大入賞口１４の反復開閉中に始動口８ａ，９ａ，１０ａに入賞したときには規定数のパチンコ球を獲得するだけに止まり、大入賞口１４の反復開閉終了後大入賞口１４は開閉されない。
【００５８】
続いて、上記した構成を有する実施例の作用と効果を説明する。本例では拡開動作および復帰動作によって大入賞口１４を開閉する可動翼片１５と、大入賞口１４に落入した入賞球を振り分ける振り分け機構２０と、この振り分け機構２０によって振り分けられた入賞球のうち遊技者に利益を与える特定領域２４を通過した特定球を検出する特定球検出スイッチ２５と、特定球が検出されたときに図柄の変動表示を停止して図柄を確定する図柄表示体４０とを備えた入賞装置２を遊技盤面１ａに設置するとともに、大入賞口１４の開閉態様を図柄表示体４０が確定した確定図柄に基いて指定する開閉態様指定手段と、前記確定図柄のうち当り図柄が出現する確率をゲ−ム進行中に切換える確率切換え手段とを設け、図柄表示体４０が１回目の特定球検出時に確定した確定図柄が当り図柄となったときに２回目の特定球検出によって当り図柄が出現する確率が前記確率切換え手段によって通常確率から高確率に切換えられるように設定してある。
【００５９】
このため、図柄表示体４０が確定する確定図柄によって大入賞口１４への連続入賞が可能となって特別な利益が与えられる状態を長い時間出現させたり、短い時間出現させたりすることができ、大入賞口１４への入賞発生が長期的には平均的な入賞発生状態となるように設定しても、短期的には特別な利益が与えられる可能性が高い状況と、特別な利益が与えられる可能性が低い状況とを出現させることができる。
【００６０】
とくに、当り図柄の出現確率をゲ−ム中に切換えることができるので、大入賞口への入賞発生が容易な状況の出現を遊技者に期待させることができ、ゲ−ムに対する期待感を引起してゲ−ムの興趣を高めることができる。
【００６１】
また、図柄表示体４０が確定した確定図柄に基いて大入賞口の開閉態様を指定することができるので、大入賞口の開閉態様の設定を多様化して特別な利益が与えられる条件の設定を多様に変化させることができる。特定球が１回目に検出されたときに確定された確定図柄が当り図柄となると、２回目の特定球検出によって当り図柄が確定される確率が高くなるので、特別な利益が与えられる状態が継続する可能性が高くなり、ゲ−ムに対する期待感が高められる。
【００６２】
上記実施例において、振り分け機構２０が入賞球を振り分ける球振り分け態様を、特定球発生時に図柄表示体４０が確定した確定図柄に基いて変更するようにしてもよい。
【００６３】
例えば、振り分け部材２１の昇降態様を図柄表示体４０の確定図柄によって指定し、図柄表示体４の確定図柄が当り図柄となった場合に振り分け部材２１が上死点で長い時間静止させるようにして特定球が発生し易い状況を出現させるようにする。
【００６４】
この場合には図柄表示値４０の確定図柄に基いて大入賞口１４の閉態様と振り分け機構２０による球払い分け態様とを同時に変更することができるので、大入賞口１４への入賞発生の難易度とを特別球発生の難易度とを同時に変更してゲ−ムの興趣を高めることができる

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a prize-winning device having a special winning area opened and closed by a movable wing piece and a specific area that gives a player benefits is mounted on a game board.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional technique, for example, there is JP-A-5-177. In this gazette, when a winning ball passes through a specific winning area, a symbol display body that displays a specific display after variably displaying the symbol is provided in the winning device, and the movable wing is based on the display result of the symbol specified by the symbol display body. A pachinko machine is disclosed in which the number of times of expanding the piece is set.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is an object of the present invention to increase the expectation of a game by changing the probability that a confirmed symbol determined by a symbol display body becomes a symbol that gives a profit to a player.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the pachinko machine of the present invention, a starting port and a winning device controlled by a winning control circuit are separately installed on the game board surface, and the pachinko ball launched on the gaming board surface is placed in the starting port. A movable wing piece that opens and closes the prize winning opening by expanding and returning to the special winning opening, a distribution mechanism that distributes the winning balls dropped into the special winning prize opening into the specific area and the non-specific area, A specific sphere detection switch that detects a specific sphere that has passed through a specific area; and a symbol display body that stops a symbol variation display and determines a symbol when the specific sphere is detected. The opening / closing operation of the big prize opening by the expansion operation and the return operation of the movable blade piece based on the detection signal of the specific ball detection switch , A predetermined opening / closing operation control means for performing a predetermined number of times until a predetermined number of repeated opening / closing operations are performed or during a predetermined number of repeated opening / closing operations until a predetermined number of pachinko balls win a prize, and the symbol display body is determined. Repeat number determination means for determining the number of repetitions of the repeated opening / closing operation a predetermined number of times based on the displayed confirmed symbol, and probability switching for switching the probability that the winning symbol is confirmed and displayed while the game is in progress Means for determining the number of repetitions of the opening / closing operation for a predetermined number of times when the winning symbol is a predetermined winning symbol when the final symbol displayed on the symbol display body is a predetermined winning symbol. The first number of times, and when the symbol is an off symbol other than the winning symbol, the second number of repetitions of the repeated opening / closing operation of the special winning opening a predetermined number of times is smaller than the first number. The predetermined opening / closing operation control means repeats the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening a predetermined number of times of either the first number or the second number determined by the repetition number determination means. The probability switching means repeatedly executes the probability that the winning symbol appears by the second specific ball detection when the symbol display body becomes the winning symbol when the symbol symbol determined at the first specific ball detection becomes the hit symbol. The normal display is switched from a high probability to a high probability at the time when the number of repetitions of the repeated opening / closing operation of the special winning opening executed by the first winning symbol is completed, while the high probability is switched to the symbol display body. When the out symbol is confirmed, the probability that the winning symbol is displayed is immediately switched from the high probability to the normal probability. , The ball distribution mode in which the distribution mechanism distributes winning balls is set so as to be specified based on the confirmed symbol determined by the symbol display body. And A specific sphere is generated when the symbol on the symbol display becomes a winning symbol. The symbol is confirmed It has a configuration set so that easy situations appear.
[0005]
[Action]
In the pachinko machine having the configuration described in claim 1, among the winning balls dropped into the big winning opening, the winning balls distributed by the distribution mechanism pass through the specific area, and the specific balls are detected by the specific ball detecting switch. When this is done, the symbol display body stops the variable display of the symbol and determines the symbol, and the number of repetitions of the repeated opening / closing operation a predetermined number of times is determined based on the determined symbol determined by the symbol display body. In addition, when the symbol displayed on the symbol display body is determined when the first specific ball is detected, the winning symbol is given by the first hit symbol. When the number of repetitions of the opening / closing operation of the mouth is repeated a predetermined number of times, the normal probability is switched to a high probability, and when the off symbol is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display body in a state of being switched to a high probability, the winning symbol Is immediately switched from the high probability to the normal probability. Also, The opening / closing mode of the big prize opening and the ball distribution mode in which the distribution mechanism distributes the winning balls are simultaneously changed based on the determined symbol determined by the symbol display body.
[0006]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, according to claim 1, a state in which a special winning is made possible by continuous winning into the big winning opening by the fixed symbol determined by the symbol display body for a long time. It can appear for a short period of time, and even if it is set so that the occurrence of a prize at the big prize opening becomes an average prize-winning state in the long term, special benefits are given in the short term Situations that are likely to occur and situations that are unlikely to receive special benefits can appear.
[0007]
In particular, the probability of appearance of winning symbols can be switched in the game, so that the player can expect the appearance of a situation where it is easy for a prize to occur in the big prize opening, and a sense of expectation for the game is generated. This can enhance the interest of the game.
[0008]
In addition, because it is possible to specify the opening / closing mode of the prize winning opening based on the confirmed symbol that the symbol display body has been determined, the setting of the opening / closing mode of the winning prize opening can be diversified to set various conditions for giving special benefits. Can be changed.
[0009]
In addition, if the symbol display is deviated and displayed on the symbol display body with the high probability switched, the probability that the winning symbol is displayed is switched from the high probability to the normal probability, so as long as the winning symbol is confirmed and displayed. There is a high possibility that a state where special benefits will be given continues, and the expectation for the game is increased.
[0010]
Furthermore, Since the opening / closing mode of the big prize opening and the ball distribution mode by the distribution mechanism can be changed at the same time based on the fixed design of the symbol display body, the difficulty level of the winning occurrence to the big prize opening and the difficulty level of the specific ball generation Can be changed at the same time to enhance the interest of the game, and the operation mode of the distribution mechanism can be set in various ways.

[0037]
A symbol display body 40 is provided at the front lower end portion of the case body 11 to display the symbols after the symbols are variably displayed based on a program stored in the probability setting storage circuit of the winning control circuit.
[0038]
When the power of the pachinko machine is turned on, the symbol display body 40 starts displaying the eight symbols of 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, and displays the eight symbols in order. Of the winning control circuit so that the symbol variation display is stopped when one of the eight symbols is displayed, and then the symbol variation display is resumed. The operation is controlled by the symbol drive unit.
[0039]
The symbol display body 40 displays 8 symbols 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 corresponding to the symbol data of 01 to 08 for 1 symbol 0.512 seconds, Fluctuations are displayed at a transition speed of a cycle of 0.512 seconds.
[0040]
When the symbol display body 40 is confirmed after the variable display and the confirmed symbol is either 33 or 77 and the symbol determination unit of the CPU determines that it is a winning symbol (specific symbol), the opening / closing mode of the big prize opening 14, that is, the big prize It is set so that 18 times of repeated opening / closing of the big prize opening 14 is repeated, for example, 16 times continuously by a command of the big prize opening / closing mode designation means of the winning control circuit for designating the total opening / closing frequency of the mouth 14.
[0041]
When the symbol display unit 40 displays the final symbol after the variable display becomes 11, 22, 44, 55, 66, 88, and is determined to be a deviated symbol by the symbol determination unit, a winning prize is given by the command of the opening / closing mode specifying means. For example, the opening and closing of the mouth 14 is repeated 18 times continuously.
[0042]
However, in the above embodiment, the number of times of repeated opening / closing of the big winning opening 14 is specified based on the fixed symbol of the symbol display body 40, but instead of this, the number of the big winning opening 14 when a specific ball is generated is specified. You may make it designate the frequency | count of opening and closing based on a fixed symbol. For example, when a specific ball is generated and the confirmed symbol of the symbol display body 40 becomes a winning symbol 33, 77, the special winning opening 14 is repeatedly opened and closed 16 times, the confirmed symbol is removed, and the symbols 11, 22, are displayed. In the case of 44, 55, 66, 88, the special winning opening 14 is set to be opened and closed twice.
[0043]
The probability that the winning symbols 33 and 77 of the eight symbols determined after the symbol display body 40 is displayed after the variable display is in progress to the normal probability and the high probability by the probability switching means of the probability setting storage circuit 41 of the winning control circuit. Is programmed to be switched to
[0044]
The probability that a winning symbol appears is a normal probability when the power is turned on. In this example, the probability that the symbol display body 40 is determined when the specific ball is generated for the first time is a normal symbol. When the determined symbol of the second time becomes a winning symbol, the symbol that the symbol display body 40 determines when the second specific ball is generated is set so that the probability of hitting the winning symbol is switched to a high probability.
[0045]
When the winning symbol is switched by the probability switching means, the winning ball passes through the specific area 24 and the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and when the confirmed symbol determined by the symbol display body 40 becomes the winning symbol, the accessory continuous operation is performed. When the device stops operating, the hit probability is switched from the normal probability to the high probability. In this state, when the winning ball passes through the specific area 24 again and the accessory continuous operation device is restarted, and the confirmed symbol that the symbol display body 40 has confirmed in the high probability state is removed and becomes a symbol, the hit probability at that time Is switched from the high probability to the normal probability, and is programmed to return to the power-on state when the accessory continuous operation device stops operating. However, if a winning symbol appears during a high probability, the high probability state continues.
[0046]
When switching the hit probability that a hit symbol appears, the total number of random numbers used as judgment data is 100 (0 to 99), incremented by 1 every 4 mS, and rotated once by 0.45. The random number taken out at the time of operation becomes the judgment symbol data. At the normal probability, out of 100 random numbers, 17 random numbers become hit design data, and the hit probability that the hit symbol appears is 17/100 on the program, and the miss probability that the off symbol appears is It is set to be 83/100.
[0047]
Further, at the time of high probability, 50 (or 46, 42) random numbers out of 100 random numbers become the determination symbol data for the winning symbol, and the probability that the winning symbol appears is 50/100. Is set.
[0048]
A board box that is installed on the back side of the game board 1 and in which the control board 3 is housed has a keyhole into which a key is inserted, and the symbol display body 40 has a high probability of displaying a symbol at a high probability. -Probability mode setting switch 42 and three setting display LEDs, which are switched to three levels by operation, are installed.
[0049]
When the key is turned to change the setting mode of the probability mode setting switch 42, one or two to three of the three setting display LEDs 43 are lit and the probability mode is 3 Of the 100 random numbers that are changed to stages and used as judgment symbol data at high probability, 50 random numbers become judgment symbol data for winning symbols, and the probability of appearance of hit symbols at high probability Of the 100 random numbers, 46 random numbers become the determination symbol data for the winning symbol, and the appearance probability of the winning symbol at a high probability is 46/100. , 42 random numbers out of 100 random numbers become judgment symbol data for winning symbols, and the appearance probability of hitting symbols at high probability is 42/100.
[0050]
In the game, when pachinko balls that have been driven into the game board surface 1a by turning the handle 103 are awarded to the winning openings 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a, 13 and the starting openings 8a, 9a, 10a, five pachinko balls are used. When the ball can be acquired and the pachinko ball wins the grand prize opening 14, 15 pachinko balls can be acquired.
[0051]
When the power of the pachinko machine is turned on, the sorting member 21 starts an intermittent raising / lowering operation that stops at the bottom dead center, and the symbol display body 40 starts symbol variation display.
[0052]
When the pachinko ball wins the starting port 8a, 9a, 10a, both movable blades 15 are expanded once after 1 second, and both winning ports 14 are opened once for 0.25 seconds, and the continuous action of the objects is performed. The device will operate for approximately 3.25 seconds and then stop operating.
[0053]
When the winning ball that has won the grand prize opening 14 passes through the special area 24 and is detected by the specific ball detection switch 25 while the big winning opening 14 is open, the symbol display body 40 is displayed at that time. The variable display is stopped and the symbol is fixedly displayed. Further, about 3.5 seconds after that, the continuous character actuating device is activated, and the movable wing piece 15 starts the repetitive expansion operation, so that 18 times of the winning prize opening 14 is performed. Repeated opening and closing is performed twice based on the fixed symbol of the symbol display body 40 Or Repeat 16 times.
[0054]
The distribution member 21 stops at the bottom dead center when the winning ball passes the special area 24, and the number of winning balls that have won the tenth winning opening 14 or the winning ball 14 is counted. At this point, it rises and stops at the top dead center until the 18th closing time of the grand prize winning opening 14 or the time when 10 winning balls that won the big winning prize opening 14 are counted.
[0055]
Both swinging members 35 start repetitive swinging operations inward and outward when the winning ball passes the special area 24, and stop at the outer swinging end when the large winning opening 14 is first opened. Also, the swinging motion is repeated twice at the time of the tenth opening of the grand prize winning port 14 or when four winning balls that have won the grand prize winning port 14 are counted, and the outer winning end is stopped.
[0056]
When ten pachinko balls win a prize winning opening 14 that is repeatedly opened and closed, the opening and closing of the prize winning opening 14 stops at that time.
[0057]
When the pachinko ball wins the start opening 8a, 9a, 10a while repeatedly opening and closing the grand prize opening 14, it only stops acquiring a specified number of pachinko balls, and after the opening and closing of the big prize opening 14 is finished, the grand prize opening 14 opens and closes Not.
[0058]
Subsequently, the operation and effect of the embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described. In this example, the movable wing piece 15 that opens and closes the grand prize opening 14 by the expansion operation and the return action, the distribution mechanism 20 that distributes the winning balls dropped into the large prize opening 14, and the winning balls distributed by the distribution mechanism 20 A specific ball detection switch 25 for detecting a specific ball that has passed through the specific area 24 that gives a benefit to the player, and a symbol display body 40 for stopping the change display of the symbol and determining the symbol when the specific ball is detected. And the open / close mode designation means for designating the open / close mode of the big prize opening 14 based on the confirmed symbol determined by the symbol display body 40, and the winning symbol. Probability switching means for switching the probability of the appearance of the symbol while the game is in progress, and twice when the confirmed symbol determined by the symbol display body 40 when the first specific ball is detected becomes the winning symbol. It is set to be switched from a normal probability with high probability by the probability that per symbol appears by a specific ball detection the probability switching means.
[0059]
For this reason, it is possible to make a state where a special prize is given by allowing a continuous winning to the big prize opening 14 by the confirmed symbol that the symbol display body 40 is confirmed to appear for a long time, or to appear for a short time, Even if it is set so that the occurrence of a prize at the big winning opening 14 becomes an average prize occurrence state in the long term, there is a high possibility that a special profit will be given in the short term, and a special profit will be given. A situation that is unlikely to occur.
[0060]
In particular, the probability of appearance of winning symbols can be switched in the game, so that the player can expect the appearance of a situation where it is easy for a prize to occur in the big prize opening, and a sense of expectation for the game is generated. This can enhance the interest of the game.
[0061]
In addition, since it is possible to specify the opening / closing mode of the big prize opening based on the confirmed symbol determined by the symbol display body 40, the setting of conditions for giving special benefits can be set by diversifying the setting of the opening / closing mode of the big winning opening. Various changes can be made. If the confirmed symbol that was confirmed when the specific sphere was detected for the first time becomes the winning symbol, the probability that the winning symbol will be confirmed by the second specific sphere detection increases, so the state that gives special benefits continues. This increases the likelihood of doing so and increases the expectation of the game.
[0062]
In the above embodiment, the ball distribution mode in which the distribution mechanism 20 distributes the winning balls may be changed based on the confirmed symbol that the symbol display body 40 has confirmed when the specific ball is generated.
[0063]
For example, when the ascending / descending mode of the sorting member 21 is specified by the confirmed symbol of the symbol display body 40, and the confirmed symbol of the symbol display body 4 becomes a winning symbol, the sorting member 21 is allowed to stand still at the top dead center for a long time. Shi The situation where a specific sphere is likely to occur is caused to appear.
[0064]
In this case, since the closing mode of the big winning opening 14 and the ball paying out mode by the distribution mechanism 20 can be simultaneously changed based on the fixed symbol of the symbol display value 40, it is difficult to generate a winning at the big winning opening 14. At the same time, you can change the degree of difficulty and the difficulty of generating a special ball to enhance the fun of the game

前記振り分け機構が入賞球を振り分ける球振り分け態様は、前記図柄表示体が確定した確定図柄に基いて指定されるように設定してあると共に、前記図柄表示体の確定図柄が当り図柄になったときに、特定球が発生し、前記図柄の確定が行なわれやすい状況を出現するように設定してあることを特徴とするパチンコ機。On the game board surface, a starting port and a winning device controlled by a winning control circuit are separately installed,
In the winning device,
A movable wing piece that opens and closes a prize winning opening by expanding and returning by pachinko balls launched on the game board surface falling into the starting opening;
A distribution mechanism that distributes the winning balls dropped into the big winning opening into a specific area and a non-specific area;
A specific sphere detection switch for detecting a specific sphere that has passed through the specific region;
A symbol display body that stops the variation display of symbols when the specific sphere is detected, and confirms the symbol;
With
The winning control circuit
The repetitive opening and closing operations of the special winning hole by spreading operation and returning operation of the movable wing on the basis of a detection signal of a specific ball detection switch, to repeat opening and closing operation of the predetermined number of times is performed or repeated opening and closing of the predetermined number of times A repetitive opening / closing operation control means for a predetermined number of times until a predetermined number of pachinko balls win a prize at the grand prize opening during operation;
Based on the confirmed symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display body, a repetition number determination means that determines the number of repetitions of the repeated opening and closing operation a predetermined number of times for the special winning opening
Probability switching means for switching the probability that the winning symbol is confirmed and displayed while the game is in progress;
With
The repetition count determining means sets a predetermined number of repetitions of the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening to a first predetermined number when the determined symbol fixedly displayed on the symbol display body is a predetermined winning symbol. Determining the number of repetitions of the repeated opening / closing operation a predetermined number of times for the special winning opening when the winning symbol is other than the winning symbol, to a second number smaller than the first number,
The predetermined number of times of repeated opening / closing operation control means repeatedly executes the number of times of the first prize determined by the number of repetitions determination means or the number of times of the second number of times, the repeated opening / closing operation of the number of times the prize winning opening,
The probability switching means determines a probability that the winning symbol appears by the second specific ball detection when the symbol symbol that the symbol display body has determined when the first specific ball is detected becomes the winning symbol. When the number of repeated opening and closing operations of the grand prize opening executed by the symbol is completed, the normal probability is switched to the high probability, while the off symbol is confirmed on the symbol display body in the state of being switched to the high probability. When displayed, the probability that the winning symbol is displayed is immediately switched from the high probability to the normal probability ,
The ball distribution mode in which the distribution mechanism distributes winning balls is set so as to be specified based on the fixed symbol determined by the symbol display body, and when the fixed symbol of the symbol display body becomes a winning symbol In addition, the pachinko machine is set so that a situation occurs in which a specific sphere is generated and the symbol is easily determined .
