Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the game performance of a bound ball playing machine by stocking only the number of balls corresponding to a prize when the bounded ball wins the prize in a prescribed prize winning hole and handling the ball corresponding to the stocked balls as winning the prize in the arbitrary prize winning hole after it is finished to bound the prescribed number of the balls. CONSTITUTION:When there is a ball B going into a specified prize winning hole 81, a condition is obtained that tiles are lacked since the 14 tiles are not displayed on a display part 10. Accordingly, at such a time, the number, which is same as the number of the balls going into the specified prize winding hole 81 with displaying the number in the display part 10, of the balls are newly selected. This selection can be executed by turning on a switch 6 for abandon tile provided so as to correspondent to the respective tiles. Namely, since the same number of the tiles as the number of the balls going into the specified prize winning hole 81 can be freely selected, the game performance is improved in comparison with a conventional mah-jongg type pinball machine. Thus, after all the 14 tiles are displayed on the display part 10, a wind-tile and a prize-tile are displayed on the display part 10 and the tile, which goes to be the reverse prize when setting is executed, is displayed with being turned down.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to a pinball game machine, more specifically a mahjong style pachinko machine,
This invention relates to a pinball game machine, such as a combination type pachinko machine, in which a fixed number of balls are shot and points are scored based on the combination of marks attached to the prize holes into which the balls fall.

[Prior Art] Various pinball game machines have been provided and used for actual games.

In particular, among these types of pinball game machines, in addition to pinball game machines that can hit any number of balls, such as pachinko machines, there are also pinball game machines that can hit any number of balls, as well as marks attached to the winning holes into which a certain number of balls have fallen. A pinball game machine that scores points based on the combination of
Combination pachinko machines were also provided.

Here, the above-described mahjong-style pachinko machine and combination-type pachinko machine will be explained in more detail.

In general, a mahjong-style pachinko machine shoots 14 balls at the start of the game, and after that, out of the winning holes where the balls fell, tiles that seem unrelated to the winnings are discarded and the first round is played. Similar to the act of picking up tiles, the aim is to "win" by discarding the winning ball into a specific winning hole and hitting a new ball with that ball. In addition, the replay corresponding to a discarded tile can be performed once, for example, six times. If the r-up further occurs, medals and the like will be refunded according to the winnings at the time of the r-up.

Furthermore, in order to improve the game performance, such mahjong-style pachinko machines have been designed to allow the game to be played by defining, for example, dot tiles or back dots.

On the other hand, a combination pachinko machine generally shoots 16 balls at the start of the game, and determines the combination of numbers in the winning holes where the 16 balls hit prizes, or the number of balls that hit consecutive winning holes in adjacent winning holes. A predetermined number of medals, etc. will be refunded.

In addition, this combination type pachinko machine is equipped with accessories such as tulips and a rotating device similar to a slot machine to improve the game performance, just like a normal pachinko machine.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in all of these conventional pinball game machines, first a predetermined number of balls are hit, and all of the balls that are hit display a specific mark. A game is played in which the player wins a prize in one of the prize holes.

Because of this basic game structure,
Even if the gameplay could be improved, it would be at the level of attaching special accessories to each screen of 1g, and it was difficult to dramatically improve the gameplay.

Therefore, in the present invention, although a predetermined number of balls are hit, if the hit ball enters a predetermined specific winning hole,
By keeping the number of balls in stock that corresponds to the prize, and after the predetermined number of balls have finished hitting, the balls corresponding to the number of balls in stock are treated as having entered any winning hole.
The purpose is to improve the game performance of pinball gaming machines.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention provides a bullet system that scores points based on combinations of symbols attached to winning holes into which a certain number of balls hit the board have fallen. In ball game machines, special winning holes are provided in the board.

By turning on the selection switch provided in the winning hole corresponding to each mark, the number of balls corresponding to the number of balls that entered this specific winning hole will be treated as falling into the winning hole corresponding to the selected mark. It is characterized by

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below along with illustrated examples.

The drawing shows a mahjong-style pachinko machine as an embodiment of the present invention.

The base frame l is provided with a front door 2 that can be opened and closed freely, and this front door 2 has a medal slot 3. Cancel button 15. Cancellation port 14, settlement button 29, discharge hole 4, ball handle 6, discard tile switch 6, reach switch 7,
A can switch 22, a ticket cut-off switch 20, a board 9, etc. are provided, and the board 9 is also provided with a winning hole 8 displaying tiles, a specific winning hole 81, etc. Furthermore, this board 9
A display unit 10 consisting of a cathode ray tube is attached to the center of the display unit 10, and a CPU (not shown) controls this display unit 10.
The game progress, game results, etc. are displayed on the screen.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, when there is a winning ball B in the specific winning hole 81, the discard tile switch 6 is formed to function as a selection switch. Of course, it is also possible to attach the selection switch alone to the front plate 2.

Next, the detailed structure of the present invention will be explained together with the use and operation of the pinball game machine according to one invention.

First, to start the game, medals are inserted into the slot 3. Then, the medals are selected by a selector (not shown) provided on the back side of the slot 3, and only if the medals are genuine medals, a medal input signal is sent to the CPU and the game is started. Also, if the medal is defective,
The medal is returned to the cancellation port 14 by the selector. In addition, if a medal is stuck in the selector, the stuck medal is returned to the cancel slot 14 by pressing the cancel button 15.

When the game starts in this way, a predetermined number of balls B are released one after another according to a signal from the CPU.

It is sent out to the handle 6 side for bullets, and one bullet can be fired.

Next, when the balls B are sequentially ejected onto the board 9 by the handle 6, the balls B enter either a specific winning hole 81 arranged on the board 9 or a winning hole 8 arranged at the bottom of the board 9. Then, the tile corresponding to winning hole 8 where ball B fell is C.
The number of balls B that won a prize in the specific winning hole 81 is also displayed on the display section 10 while being displayed on the display section 10 by the PU.

Also, the tile corresponding to ball B that entered prize hole 8 is.

The CPU displays types and numbers horizontally in order,
This is for the convenience of players.

When the 14 balls B are hit in this way, the ball B that fell into the winning hole 8 at the bottom of the board 9 and the ball B that landed in the special winning hole 81 in the board 9 are awarded. A ball B exists.

Here, the balls B that have fallen into the winning hole 8 at the bottom of the board 9 are displayed on the display section 10 by being arranged horizontally in the order of type and number by the CPU.

Moreover, the number of balls B that won a prize in the specific winning hole 81 will be displayed on the display section IO.

Further, when there is a winning ball B in the specific winning hole 81, 14 tiles are not displayed in the 1 display section 1O, so there is a shortage of tiles. Therefore, at this time, the display section 1
The player will newly select the same number of tiles as the number of balls won in the specific winning hole 81 whose number is displayed as 0. This selection can be made by turning on a discard switch 6 provided corresponding to six tiles.

That is, in the present invention, since the player can freely select the same number of tiles as those entered into the specific winning hole 81, the game quality is significantly improved compared to the conventional mahjong-style pachinko machine.

After all 14 tiles are displayed on the display section 1O in this way, the Dora tile and Wind tile are displayed on the 1st display section 1O, and the tile that will be the back dora when a reach is made is turned face down. will be displayed.

Further, when 14 tiles are displayed on the display section 10, if the game continues to be "up", the game ends by pressing the settlement button 29 or by inserting medals for the next game. On the other hand, if it is not "R up", operate the discard part switch 6 to discard unnecessary tiles, make a new bullet the number of times equivalent to the discarded tile, and move the winning hole 8.
The new winning tile is displayed on the display section IO. In addition, when one ball B enters the special winning hole 81 at the time of such a bullet, the player selects a predetermined tile and wins the prize in the winning hole 8 displaying that tile, as described above. It can be treated as

In addition, in such a series of games, when the player is at tenpai, by pressing the reach switch 7, the reach hand is added to the winning hand, and the back door display section is activated. However, after pressing reach switch 7, "Agari"
Alternatively, the only option is to turn off the string using the string cut-off switch 20. Also, when there are 4 tiles of the same type, a can can be made by turning on the can switch 22.
New bullets can also be used at the same time.

When the winning combination is completed, an explanation of the winning combination and the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the winning combination are displayed on the 1 display section 10, and when the settlement switch 29 is turned on, a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

That is, in the present invention, if a prize is won in the specific winning hole 81 during one normal game, the player can freely select the same number of tiles as the number of winnings.

The game quality is significantly improved compared to conventional mahjong-style pachinko machines.

It should be noted that it is also possible to form the specific winning hole 81 so that the ball B does not enter into the special winning hole 81 during a normal game, and to make the specific winning hole 81 valid only when certain conditions are met.
For example, it is possible to make a display similar to a slot machine on the display unit 10 so that the specific winning hole 81 becomes valid only when a specific combination is completed in the slot machine, or a specific Chutka or the like can be displayed on the board 9. The specific winning hole 81 can also be made effective only when the ball B passes through this specific chuckker.

In the above explanation, a mahjong-style pachinko machine was explained as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to a combination-type pachinko machine.

When applied to this combination type pachinko machine, after hitting 16 balls B, the number of balls that hit the specific winning hole 81 is treated as if it had hit a prize at an arbitrarily selected place. The probability of this will also be improved, and the gameplay will be significantly improved.

[Effects of the Invention 1 As explained above, 1 the present invention provides that, although a predetermined number of balls are hit, if the hit ball enters a predetermined specific winning hole, the number of balls corresponding to the winning hole is The game performance of the 5-ball game machine is improved by stocking up to 5 balls, and after a predetermined number of balls have been played, the balls corresponding to the number of balls in the stock are treated as having entered any winning hole. It is something.
