Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mahjong-style pachinko machine, and particularly to a mahjong-style pachinko machine to which novel game elements are added.

Various types of mahjong-style pachinko machines have been provided in the past.

In the early versions, the clerk checked the points and manually dispensed the medals, but with the advancement of technology, especially the development of ICs and computers, everything from point calculation to dispensing has become automated. It's on. Also, the game contents start from displaying the dora tiles to displaying the back dora tiles, and it is also possible to automatically pay out medals corresponding to the number of dora.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the gameplay by adding a mechanism similar to so-called Pong or Chee to these conventional mahjong-style Pachinko machines.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a system in which a certain number of balls are supplied by inserting a medal, and these balls are bounced onto a board equipped with a chuck car showing mahjong tiles, and then hit again. In a mahjong-style pachinko machine that plays a game and pays out a predetermined medal when a winning hand is completed by a combination of mahjong tiles indicated by a chuckler through which a ball has passed, a passage display section of the mahjong tiles indicated by a chuckler through which a ball has passed. The present invention is characterized in that a selection display section for the same tile is further provided above, and the display can be moved from the selection display section to the pass display section by turning on a selection switch.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to illustrated examples.

10 in the figure is a box-shaped front plate of a mahjong-style pachinko machine, which includes a board surface 20, a mahjong tile display section 30 provided at the bottom of this board surface 20, various operation switches 40, and medal M-related displays. Various devices, a handle 50, etc. are provided.

The board surface 20 is a part on which the ball B launched by the handle 50 falls, and a passing chuck car 21 corresponding to various mahjong tiles is provided on the back side of the lower end.

In the display section 30, tiles corresponding to the number of passing checkers 21 are formed in rows, and each row is arranged such that from the top there are a selection display section 31, an out display section 32, and a pass display section 33. Also, between the selection display section 31 and the out display section 32, there is a drive display lamp 34.
and a back door indicator lamp 35 are provided. The number tiles are composed of 321 out display parts and 334 pass display parts, while the character tiles are composed of 322 out display parts and 333 pass display parts.

The operation switch 40 includes a reach switch 4 in addition to a discard tile switch 41 provided below the display section 30.
2. A trim switch 43 and a selection switch 44 are provided. Discard tile switch 41 is 14 balls B
This button is pressed to discard unnecessary tiles and start hitting again after hitting the ball B. When the switch 41 is turned on, one tile displayed on the passing display section 33 disappears, and the ball B can be hit. The reach switch 42 is pressed when the top tile is played, and by turning on this switch 42, the score when the top hand is completed increases by "1", and the back drawer display lamp 35 lights up on the tile as appropriate, and the top tile is turned on. It functions as a dora tile when a role is completed. The pick-up switch 43 makes it possible to hit the ball again by turning on the pick-up switch 43 in addition to turning on the discard tile switch 41 when a ball hit during a re-hit falls to the position of the passing chucker 21 corresponding to an unnecessary tile. be. When the selection switch 44 is pressed while the selection display section 31 is lit, the displayed tile is moved to the passing display section 33. Specifically, after the selection switch 44 is turned on, the discard tile switch 41 is turned on. As a result, the corresponding passing display section 33 of the discard tile switch 41 disappears, and the tile displayed on the selection display section 31 is displayed on the passing display section 33. will be displayed.

A ball feeding device 51 is provided on the back side of the handle 50, and it is possible to hit 14 balls B at the start of the game.

Further, 60 is a CPU, which can perform game contents, judgments, calculations, etc.

70 is a display panel that shows the progress status, results, scores, etc. of the game.

In addition to the above explanation, there are also distribution routes for medal M,
That is, there is also a device for everything from input to judgment and payout, but since it is similar to the mahjong-style pachinko machines that have been provided conventionally, the explanation will be omitted.

Further, since each display on the display section 30 is performed using lamps, not only the number of runs is large and the wiring is complicated, but also the number of lamps that are lit at one time is large, resulting in large power consumption. Therefore, we created one wire for each column and one wire for each row to simplify the wiring by forming one wire for each column and one wire for each row so that power was supplied to the corresponding positions. The lamps are sequentially supplied with power and blinked in an extremely short period of time, so that although only one lamp is lit at a time, it appears to the gamer that it is continuously lit. This allows it to operate with low power.

Next, the operation and operation of the present invention will be explained.

By inputting a predetermined operation such as inserting a medal M to the CPU 60, the ball feeding device 51 is activated and the 14 balls B can be hit.

Thereafter, the handle 50 is operated to sequentially launch 14 balls B onto the board surface 20.

As a result, the passing display section 33 and the out display section 3
2, a total of 14 images are displayed. After that, the discard tile switch 41 below the passing display section 33 that displays unnecessary tiles
By pressing , one card is erased from the passage display section 33 and the corresponding ball B is hit again to complete a predetermined uphill combination.

In addition, when the medal M is inserted at the start of the game, or regardless of whether the medal is inserted, the dora display lamp 34 lights up, and when this display tile is entered and the winning hand is completed, the number of medals M that were inserted will be added. It's starting to look like that.

Further, at the stage when all 14 balls have been hit, the selection display section 31 indicating one of the tiles lights up, and each time the ball is hit again, the selection display section 31 at a different position lights up. When a tile in the selection display section 31 is required, the selection switch 44 is pressed and then the discard tile switch 41 is pressed, thereby moving the tile corresponding to the selection display section 31 to the passage display section 33. By turning on the selection switch 44, the number of winnings when the winning combination is completed is reduced by one, like Pong or Chee in ordinary mahjong, that is, the number of medals M to be paid out is reduced by one. However, when there is only one winning combination, that is, when the number of medals M to be paid out is one, it is not reduced. Also, the tiles moved and displayed on the passage display section 33 by turning on the selection switch 44 are moved to other passage display sections 33.
The tiles are displayed, for example, by flashing, so that they can be distinguished from the tiles shown in , and the tiles are made so that they cannot be discarded, just like in normal mahjong.

In the middle of the game, if you press the reach switch 42 when you have a so-called top tile that completes the winning hand with one more card, not only will one more medal M be paid out when you move up, but the back card display lamp 35 will also be set to an appropriate position. It will be lit.

After continuing the game in this manner, the game ends when the set number of medals M are paid out.

This invention is different from the conventional mahjong style pachinko machine.
By providing the selection display section 31 and the selection switch 44, it is possible to complete an upward winning combination by using tiles other than the tiles hit by the gamer as tiles in hand, thereby significantly improving the game performance.

Furthermore, if the selection can be made only when the so-called Pon or Chi is possible, the game becomes more similar to mahjong, and the game quality can be further improved.

Furthermore, if the selected tiles are made impossible to discard, it will be similar to the tiles in mahjong where the tiles used for pong and chee cannot be discarded, and the game content will become even closer to real mahjong.

Also, as in the embodiment, if the selection switch 44 is used to reduce the score by 1 when the winning combination is completed,
It will bring you closer to real mahjong.

As explained above, the present invention adds a game content similar to Pong or Chee to a conventional mahjong-style pachinko machine, thereby significantly improving the game performance.
