Any machine is eligible.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first type of pachinko gaming machine 1 and a card processing machine 12 as an example of a gaming machine.

A card processing machine 12 is provided on the lateral side position side (left side in the drawing) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the pachinko gaming machine 1.
Are provided in a separable state. In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a card available indicator, which lights up and displays that the card processor 12 is operating and that lending using a card is possible. The card processor 12 has a built-in card reader / writer. When a common card or the like is inserted from the card insertion / ejection port 17, the record information recorded on the card is read by the card reader / writer.
The card balance at the time of insertion included in the read card information is displayed by the balance display (card balance display) 7. The card processor 12 includes a CPU, a ROM,
A card processor control unit 21 (see FIG.
(See reference) is provided, and the card processing machine control unit 21
Thus, the entire card processing machine 12 is controlled. Further, the card processing machine 12 is provided with a connection direction display 15, and a display of the connection direction set in advance on the card processing machine 12 side is illuminated and displayed. Can determine whether the game is possible.

When a player wants to play a game with the pachinko gaming machine 1, a common card, which is an example of a recording medium in which a valuable value owned by the player such as the remaining card amount is recorded, is inserted into the card insertion / ejection slot 17. To do. When a ball lending operation is possible when the inserted card is appropriate and the remaining amount of the card is left, the player presses the ball lending button 9 so that the pachinko gaming machine can be operated from the card processing machine 12 side. A ball payout command signal is output to the payout control microcomputer on one side. Then, a ball rental amount setting switch 22 (see FIG. 3) including, for example, a rotary switch described later.
The game balls (pachinko balls) corresponding to the ball lending amount (hereinafter simply referred to as ball lending amount) paid out by one ball lending operation set in advance by the operation are paid out into the hit ball supply tray 6. Then, when the payout of the pachinko balls corresponding to the lending amount is completed, the remaining card amount of the common card inserted in the card processing machine 12 is updated by reducing the amount of the lending amount.

Reference numeral 8 in the drawing denotes a return button, which is pressed by the player to return the common card inserted in the card processing machine 12 to the player side from the card insertion / ejection slot 17. The remaining amount of the card when the common card is inserted and the remaining amount of the card after the ball lending is performed and the amount is updated are displayed by the remaining amount indicator (card balance indicator) 7 provided on the hitting ball supply tray 6. When the player operates the hit ball operation handle 3 in a state where the pachinko balls are paid out in the hit ball supply tray 6, the pachinko balls are hit one by one in the game area 101 formed on the front surface of the game board 100. In the game area 101, a variable display device 102 capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information is provided. The game area 101 is further provided with a normal symbol starting port 107 and a special symbol starting port 109. This normal design starting port 10
The pachinko balls that have entered 7 pass downward and are again discharged into the game area 101, and the passing balls are detected by the starting passing ball detection switch 108. This normal design starter 1
07 may be a winning opening in which a pachinko ball that has entered from above is guided to the back side of the game board and becomes a winning ball. Based on the detection output of the starting passing ball detection switch 108, the normal symbol display portion 104 of the variable display device 102 is variably started and then stopped. This normal symbol display unit 104,
10 kinds of identification information of 0 to 9 are variably displayed, and if the display result at the time of stop is predetermined specific identification information (for example, 10 kinds of alignment such as 77), it is normally variable. A pair of left and right movable members 1 of the winning ball device 110
11 is opened, and the first state is advantageous for a player who can easily win a ball. This normal variable winning ball device 110,
In the normal state, the movable member 111 is closed and the ball is in the second state, which is disadvantageous to the player who is relatively difficult to win the ball.
Normally, when the display result of the symbol display portion 104 becomes the specific identification information, the solenoid 112 is excited to be in the first state.

If the pachinko ball that is driven into the game area 101 wins in the special symbol starting port 109 or the ordinary variable winning ball device 110 in the first state, the starting winning ball is the starting winning ball. Detected by the detection switch 113, after the special symbol display portion 103 of the variable display device 102 is variably started based on the detection signal, the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol are stopped and controlled in this order. The special symbol display unit 103 is composed of, for example, a display screen of a liquid crystal display device, and can variably display 15 types of identification information of 0 to 9 and A to E. Is a combination of predetermined specific identification information (for example, 15 combinations such as 777), a big hit occurs, a specific game state occurs, and the opening / closing plate 11 of the special variable winning ball unit 114 is opened.
The control at the time of the big hit is performed to set the first state which is advantageous for the player who is easy to win the ball by opening 6. The special variable prize ball device 114 is in a second state which is disadvantageous to a player who cannot normally or hardly win a ball with the opening / closing plate 116 closed in the normal state. If the display result of is a combination of specific identification information,
The solenoid 117 is excited to enter the first state. The first state of the special variable winning ball device 114 that accompanies this jackpot is the elapse of a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winnings in the ball hitting opening 115, whichever comes first. When the condition (1) is satisfied, the process ends and the second state is set. The pachinko ball that has won the winning opening 115 is detected by the 10-count detecting switch 120, and the detected number is displayed by the winning number display 121. On the other hand, a specific winning area (V pocket) 118 is provided at a certain place in the winning opening 115, and the special variable winning ball device 114 in the first state.
If a pachinko ball that has entered inside wins this specific winning area (V pocket) 118, the specific winning ball is detected by the specific winning ball detection switch 119, and the special variable winning ball device 114 is in the first state for that time. Is waited for, the repetitive continuation control for driving and controlling the special variable winning ball device 114 to the first state is performed again. The upper limit number of the repetition continuation control is set to, for example, 16 times.

While the special symbol display section 103 is variably displaying, if the hit ball is won in the special symbol starting port 109 or the ordinary variable winning ball device 110, the starting winning is stored and the special symbol is displayed. After the unit 103 is variably stopped, the variable symbol can be restarted again, and then the special symbol display unit 103 is variably restarted based on the start winning memory. The upper limit value of the start winning prize memory is set to, for example, "4".
05 is displayed. Start winning prize balls that exceed the upper limit of the starting prize memory are ignored and the variable display device 102
It is not used for variable display control. On the other hand, when the display result of the special symbol display unit 103 is a symbol in which no big hit occurs and the middle symbol is “3” or “7”, the variable display device 102 is variably displayed again regardless of the start winning. A game is played. If the display result at the time of the variable stop of the special symbol display unit 103 is a specific game state due to a combination of predetermined special identification information (for example, 333, 777), the probability that a specific game state thereafter will occur is improved. To do. Such a game state is particularly called a probability improving state. On the other hand, a state in which the game state is neither the specific game state nor the probability improving state is called a normal state. In addition, a symbol that constitutes a combination of the special identification information is particularly called a probability variation symbol.

When a big hit occurs in the probability variation pattern, after the specific game state based on the big hit is finished, the probability improving state is repeatedly and continuously controlled until the specific game state occurs at least twice in total. More specifically, when a big hit occurs in the probability variation pattern, it is controlled to the first probability improvement state after the end of the specific game state based on the big hit. Furthermore, after the specific game state based on the big hit that occurred in the first probability improving state, the second probability improving state is controlled. In the case where the big hit that occurs while the repetition continuation control of the probability fluctuation is performed is due to the probability fluctuation pattern, it is repeatedly controlled again twice in the probability improvement state. Note that the probability of occurrence of the specific game state can be variably set in three stages in normal time, 1/215 in setting 1 and 1/23 in setting 2.
With 0 and setting 3, the probability of occurrence is 1/245. on the other hand,
In the probability improving state, all the occurrence probabilities are 1/25 regardless of the settings 1, 2, and 3.

Further, in the normal symbol display section 104, the probability variation is started under the same conditions as the special symbol display section 103 described above. As described above, in the ordinary symbol display unit 104, ten types of identification information 0 to 9 are variably displayed, and specific identification information (for example, ten combinations such as 77) is stopped and displayed. As a result, the drive of the ordinary variable prize ball device 110 is controlled to the first state, and the probability that the ordinary variable prize ball device 110 is drive controlled to the first state is 1/10. However, the display result of the special symbol display unit 103 is, for example, 333 or 77.
When the probability variation starts with 7 and thereafter,
The probability that the normally variable winning ball device 110 is drive-controlled to the first state is halved. This probability improvement state ends when the probability improvement state of the special symbol display unit 103 described above ends.

In this embodiment, the special symbol display portion 1
Although the probability fluctuates in both 03 and the normal symbol display unit 104, the probability may fluctuate in only one of them. When the probability is changed only in the ordinary symbol display unit 104, the display result of the ordinary symbol display unit 104 becomes specific identification information (for example, 10 different patterns such as 777) in the specific game state. In this case, the ball that has been hit into the game area is controlled so that the ball can be easily won by opening the normally variable winning ball device 110. The condition in which the probability fluctuates is determined by the special symbol display unit 10.
3 is a specific form of specific identification information (for example, 1 described above).
This is the case of 333,777) out of the five combinations, and the probability that the display result of the ordinary symbol display unit 104 will be specific identification information varies depending on the fulfillment of the condition (for example, 1/10).が).

In the game area 101, a normal winning hole 1
22 and a lucky number display lamp 123. This lucky number display lamp 123
When the special symbol display unit 103 is variably started and stop-controlled, the result is a combination of specific identification information, and when a big hit occurs, the display lamps (1) to (4) are run and lighted and then stop-controlled. Then, when the number of the display lamp at the time of stoppage matches the lucky number preset for the game arcade, a certain service determined at the game arcade is given to the player. The certain service may be, for example, that a so-called possessed ball game in which a valuable value such as a prize ball provided in association with the occurrence of the specific gaming state can be continuously used for the game without exchanging the prize is permitted. .

Reference numeral 11 in the drawing is a lamp which blinks during a big game control and a jackpot control, and a probability continuation repetition control. 10
Is a speaker that generates a sound effect when a big hit occurs. 14 is a fraction display switch,
When the remaining amount of the common card inserted into the card insertion / ejection port 17 is smaller than the above-mentioned lending amount, the remaining amount is displayed on the remaining amount indicator 7.
Reference numeral 16 denotes a card insertion indicator, which is lit when a common card is inserted into the card insertion / ejection port 17 to indicate that the card is being inserted. Reference numeral 18 denotes a unit box, which incorporates a unit box control unit described later. 2 is a front frame, 5 is a front plate that can be opened and closed, 4 is a surplus ball storage plate, and a surplus ball that cannot be stored any more due to the pachinko ball being full in the hit ball supply plate. 4 paid out.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing a third type of pachinko gaming machine and a card processing machine showing still another example of the gaming machine used in the present invention. Since the card processor 12 has the same configuration as that shown in FIG. 1, the repeated description is omitted here.

In the game area 201 formed on the front surface of the game board 200 of the pachinko gaming machine 1, there is provided an ordinary variable display device 202 capable of variably displaying identification information consisting of 10 kinds of numbers 0-9. Ordinarily, a pachinko ball enters the starting opening 204 for a normal symbol and is detected by the start winning ball detector 205, so that the normal variable display device 202 starts variably, and then the left symbol, the right symbol, the middle symbol in that order. Is controlled by stop. Then, the display result at the time of the variable stop of the normal variable display device 202 is a predetermined specific display mode (for example, 7
77), the solenoid 208 is excited and the pair of left and right movable members 207 of the normal variable winning ball device 206 are opened to enter the first state advantageous to the player. The first state ends when a predetermined period (for example, 5 seconds) elapses or a predetermined number of pachinko balls (for example, 3) is won, whichever comes first, and the second state is completed. Becomes Pachinko balls that have entered the ordinary variable winning ball device 206 in the first state are detected by the winning number detector 225. The normal symbol starting port 204 may be configured as a passage port through which the pachinko balls that enter from above are discharged from below as they are. Moreover, if the display result of the normal variable display device 202 is a design in which a big hit does not occur, and the left design and the right design are both “3” or “7” and the middle design is an odd number, the start winning is not retried. A re-game is normally performed in which the variable display device 202 is variably displayed.

The pachinko balls detected by the winning number detector 225 are guided to the sorting device 226. The distribution device 226 includes a rotor 22 that is constantly rotated by a motor 227.
8 is provided, and a ball receiving concave portion 23 for receiving a pachinko ball on the outer periphery of the rotating body 228 and guiding rotation.
0,229 are formed. Then, the pachinko balls detected by the prize number detector 225 are the ball receiving recesses 23.
If it is accepted within 0, the player is guided to the normal winning opening 231 to win the normal winning opening 231. On the other hand, if the pachinko balls detected by the winning number detector 225 are received by the ball receiving recess 229, the regular winning opening (special device operating opening) provided below the normal winning opening 231 is passed.
It is guided to rotate up to 232 and wins the right winning opening 232.

The pachinko balls that have won the right winning hole 232 are detected by the right winning ball detection switch 233, and the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 becomes the right generation state (specific gaming state) based on the detection output. If a pachinko ball enters the special winning opening starting port 214 and is detected by the special winning ball detection switch 215 during the period of the right generation state,
When the solenoid 218 is excited, the special variable winning ball device 21
The pair of left and right movable members 217 of 6 are opened to be in the first state advantageous to the player. This first state ends when a predetermined period (for example, 10 seconds) elapses or a predetermined number of pachinko balls (for example, 10) is won, whichever comes first, which is disadvantageous to the player. It will be in the second state. The winning balls that have won the special variable winning ball device 216 are detected by the winning number detector 219, and the detected number is displayed by the winning number indicator 221. Further, if a pachinko ball wins again in the special winning opening starting port 214 during the period of the right generation, the repetitive continuation control for driving and controlling the special variable winning ball device 216 to the first state again is performed. This repetitive continuation control is defined, for example, until 16 prizes are won in the starting opening 214 during the generation of the right, and the generated right disappears by winning 16 prizes. The remaining number of times of the repetition continuation control at the present time is displayed by the remaining number display 220. on the other hand,
Pachinko balls are re-acquired during the right acquisition 23
If you win within 2, the rights that have arisen will disappear. After the right is extinguished or when the right is not generated, the special variable winning ball device 216 does not enter the first state no matter how many pachinko balls enter the special winning opening starting port 214.

In the ordinary variable display device 202, the probability that the display results at the time of the variable stop will be random can be set in three steps, 1/90 in setting 1, 1/100 in setting 2, and 3 in setting 3. The probability of occurrence is 1/110. On the other hand, the display result when the variable display device 302 is normally stopped is 1, 3, 5,
If any one of 7 and 9 is aligned, the probability that the display result when the variable display device 302 is variably stopped is varied to 1/20 and the probability is improved. The fluctuation of the probability returns to the normal probability after fluctuating at least twice including the first time until the right is generated. Further, the variable display operation of the variable display device 202 is not normally performed while the right is generated. As a control that makes it difficult to extinguish the right, the probability is restored to the normal probability while the right is occurring, and the probability is changed again after the right is extinguished. And during these two fluctuations, again 1, 3, 5,
When the alignment is established by the probability fluctuation patterns of 7 and 9, the probability is improved from that time to the right occurrence state twice including that time.

If a pachinko ball hit in the game area 201 wins at the starting winning port 222, the variable winning ball device 22
3 opens and becomes the first state that is advantageous for the player,
When a pachinko ball is won in the variable winning ball device 223 in the first state, the variable winning ball device 223 is closed to enter the second state. In the game area 201, a normal winning hole 222 and a decoration lamp 224 are further provided. Further, a lamp 11 that blinks during a big hit or a probability improving state is provided in the upper part of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

When a player throws in money and purchases a common card from a common card vending machine, the common card is issued and common valuable value issuance information, which is information about sales of the common card, is sent from the common card vending machine. Input means 71
Is input to.

These various kinds of information are input to the information input means 71 and then transmitted to the game data calculation / aggregation means 300 formed in the arithmetic unit 70.

The game data calculation / aggregation means 300 calculates various game data based on the various information input through the information input means 71. The special game state in the special game state average payout calculation unit 301 and the special game state average continuation number calculation unit 302, which are configured in the game data calculation / aggregation unit 300, means a big hit in a short period of time on the variable display device. It means a game state in which the symbols are easily arranged, and is a broad concept including the above-described probability improving state. The game data calculation / aggregation means 300 is shown in FIGS.
The CPU 70a, the ROM 70b, and the RAM 70c shown in FIG.

In the special game state average payout calculating means 301, which is configured in the game data calculating and collecting means 300,
The average value of the total number of "outgoing balls" in the big hit state (specific game state) that occurs while the game state is repeatedly and continuously controlled to the probability improving state is calculated. Here is the "ball out"
Is data indicating the difference between the number of paid-out balls and the number of driven-in balls paid out to the player in the specific game state.

Below is the average payout calculation means 3 during the special game state.
The specific operation of 01 will be described in detail. In the special game state, the average payout amount calculation means 301 is a probability varying middle payout number counting device for counting the number of payouts during the big hit period that is generated when the probability is continuously controlled to be improved, and the probability is improved from the normal state. A transition number counting means for counting the number of transitions to the state, an average payout calculation means for calculating the average value of the probability variation during the probability change from the count value of the probability variation during exit count counting means and the count value of the transition frequency counting means And have.

The probability variation payout coin counting means counts the number of payout coins based on the disadvantage information when the probability variation information is in the ON state (output state). This count value is the number of coins paid out in the period from the occurrence of a big hit that triggers probability fluctuations to the end of the probability fluctuations until the end of the big hits. It is the total number of payout balls paid out to the player based on the big hits generated therein and the number of payout balls paid out during the probability fluctuation.

The probability fluctuation information output from the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 1 or 2 is turned on based on the fact that a big hit occurs due to the probability fluctuation pattern in the normal state, and thereafter, the probability fluctuation The state is maintained until the repetition continuation control is completed. The big hit information is turned on based on the occurrence of the big hit, and thereafter the state is maintained until the big hit ends. Therefore, when calculating the total number of payout balls paid out to the player while the repetition control of probability fluctuation is being performed, the disadvantage that is input while the probability fluctuation information is ON as described above. The number of payout balls may be counted based on the information. Or, after a big hit occurs due to the probability variation pattern, in the gaming machine that is on until the end of the probability variation state from the end of the big hit until the end of the probability variation state, including the big hit before it was turned on for the first time, After that, the number of payout balls may be counted based on the disadvantage information input until the previous big hit when it is turned off for the first time, not during the big hit.

Further, the probability-during-probability-during-ball counting means counts the total number of hit balls on the basis of the profit information (punch information) when the probability-during-change information is in the ON state. This count value is the number of balls hit by the player on the pachinko machine and the number of balls hit during the probability change, based on the jackpots that occur during the repeated continuous control of probability changes. Is the total number of.

The probability-variable-ball-in-progress calculation means calculates the difference between the probability-variable-ball-in-progress (the difference number) by calculating the difference between the total number of payout balls and the total number of drive-in balls counted in the above procedure. Ask. In other words, the probability-during-probability-during-ball-out is the total number of balls output in all the specific game states that occur while one probability-variation repetition continuation control is performed. For example, since the probability improvement state is controlled at least twice during the repetition continuation control period of the probability variation, the specific game state occurs at least twice. Furthermore, if the jackpot that triggers the start of the repeated repetition control of the probability variation is included, a specific game state occurs three times in total. Therefore, the number of payouts during probability change is the total number of payouts in at least three specific game states. However, during the probability fluctuation, depending on the situation of the increase and decrease of the ball output until the next big hit occurs, from the occurrence of the big hit that triggers the probability change to the big hit that ends the probability change and the big hit ends. The total number of balls output during the period may exceed or fall below the total number of balls output during the jackpot period.

If the payout is calculated in accordance with the above procedure, the payout during the period in which the probability fluctuation repeating continuation control is performed once, that is, the probability fluctuation payout is calculated.
Then, by calculating the ball output for each cycle of the probability fluctuation repetitive continuation control, it is possible to create a table of the probability fluctuation in-progress balls that corresponds to the probability fluctuation repetitive continuous control, as well as the maximum and minimum probability fluctuation in-progress balls. The value can be calculated. The probability-variable-ball-out-ball counting means calculates the total of the probability-variable-ball-out balls in order to calculate the average of the probability-variable-ball-out balls.

On the other hand, the transition number counting means counts the number of times the information during probability variation changes from the off state (output stopped state) to the on state (output state), thereby starting the repetition continuation control of probability variation. Calculate the number of times it has been done.

Then, the average payout value calculating means divides the total sum of the probability-changing payout balls calculated by the probability-changing payout-number counting means by the count value of the transition count counting means to obtain the average value of the probability-changing payout balls. To calculate.

The game data calculation / aggregation means 300 is further provided with a special game state average continuation number calculation means 302. The special game state average continuation number calculation means 302,
Calculate the average value of the number of continuous probability fluctuations. That is, the average value of the number of times the probability improving state occurs in the probability fluctuation repetitive continuous control once is calculated. The special game state average continuation number calculation means 302 includes a continuation number calculation means for calculating the probability variation continuation number, a transition number counting means similar to the special game state average payout number calculation means 301, and a probability variation continuation number. And an average continuation number calculating means for calculating the average value of.

The continuation number calculation means counts the number of times the probability improvement state occurs by counting the number of times the big hit information rises from the time the probability fluctuation information rises to the time it falls. This is based on the fact that the number of jackpots generated during the repeated continuous control of the probability fluctuation is equal to the number of occurrences of the probability improving state. That is, before the big hit occurs, the gaming state is always in the probability improving state.

On the other hand, the transition number counting means counts the number of times that the probability continuation repetition continuation control is started in the same manner as described in the special game state average payout calculation means 301.

Then, the average continuation number calculating means calculates the average value of the probability variation continuation number by dividing the count value of the continuation number calculating means by the count value of the transition number counting means.

The average payout calculation means 3 during the special game state
01 or the probability variation mid-ball payout calculating means, the transition frequency counting means, and the continuation frequency calculating means which are configured in the special game state average continuation number calculation means 302, the special game state average payout number calculation means 301 and the special game state. It may be provided outside the average continuation number calculation means 302, that is, in the game data calculation aggregation means 300. In this case, for example, the transition number counting means is commonly used by the special game state average payout calculation means 301 and the special game state average continuation number calculation means 302.

The game data calculation / aggregation means 300 calculates various other game data based on various information input to the information input means 71. For example, based on big hit information, probability fluctuation information, effective starting information, etc.
Number of big hits, number of occurrences of probability improvement state,
Count the number of effective starts. In addition, the number of hit balls used for the game and the number of pay-out balls paid out to the player as a prize ball are counted based on the disadvantage information such as the hit ball information and the supply information. Alternatively, the number of pachinko balls used for the prize exchange is counted based on the prize processing information, and the number of exchanges of the prize is counted for each kind of the prize exchanged. Also, based on the ball lending information, the number of pachinko balls lent by the ball lending machine or the amount of money used at that time is counted. Based on the common value processing information, the card processor 12 is used to count the amount of ball lending.
The sales amount of the common card in the common card vending machine is counted based on the common value issue information.

A game hall manager or the like operates the operation unit 76 to convert various game data calculated by the calculation unit 70 into a predetermined format by the data processing output unit 72, and then the display unit 75 or the output unit.

0) means the number of pachinko balls that have been won, and the number of prize balls that have won in the regular electric power role from the start of business today until the first big hit occurs is 25, and the end of the first big hit From the time until the second big hit occurs, the number of winning balls that won the ordinary electric role is 40. And, the average of normal prize is 3.0 / times, which shows how many pachinko balls were awarded to the normal electric actor on average in one regular symbol jackpot. It is the value obtained by dividing the total by the total for the Utsukushi jackpot.

Outlet is the difference between the number of hit balls and the number of paid out coins from the occurrence of the special symbol big hit to the end of the big hit (the number of difference balls).
According to the table, at the time of the first big hit, 23
At the second big hit of 80 pieces, 2410 pieces of prize balls are paid out. And the average of the payout is 26350 in total of the prize balls paid out / the total number of occurrences per jackpot is 11
$ 2395.

The big hit symbol indicates which symbol (number) has caused the big hit to occur on the special symbol display portion 103. The first big hit is "666", and the second big hit is generated. Is a big hit at the end of "555". In addition, the ○ mark, × mark, and star mark shown in this big hit symbol column, respectively, the ball holding game start number, the ball holding game end number, and the all-day non-quantitative number are displayed by the special symbol display unit 103. It is shown that. According to this table, due to the occurrence of the second big jackpot, the jackpot game start number "555" resulted in a jackpot and it became possible to continue the game using the ball.
Since the digi game end number "999" is displayed by the special symbol display unit 103 when the third big hit occurs, the state in which the game can be continued using digi balls has ended. Then, with the occurrence of the 8th big hit, the probability improved state, and with the occurrence of the 9th big hit, the all-day unquantified number "777" is displayed. It can be seen that the game can be continued without conversion. In addition, the star mark in the column of the big hit in the table indicates that the big hit occurs in the probability improving state.

The sales means the amount of the remaining amount of the card used for playing the game on the pachinko gaming machine, and according to the table, 5500 yen by the first big hit, 1
1 from the end of the second big hit to the occurrence of the second big hit
It can be seen that 3000 yen was used.

The data shown below the table shown in FIG. 8 is a collection of data that is particularly necessary for information management in the game arcade. Among them, the probability fluctuation big hit number with an asterisk mark is data indicating how many times the big hit occurred in the probability improving state (the number of occurrences of the specific game state at the time of probability variation)
In the case of this pachinko gaming machine, it is three times. And since the total of the number of occurrences of the special symbol big hit (the number of occurrences of the specific game state) is 11, the occurrence rate of the number of probability fluctuation big hits is 3/11 × 100≈27.3%.
Since the number of ball-playing games started twice, the rate of occurrence is 2/11 × 100≈18.2%. The rate of occurrence is 1/1 because the number of times of no-quantity all day is 1
1 × 100≈9.1%. What is the number of startups between jackpots?
This is the number of special figure effective times, and the average thereof is 1640 total of special figure effective / total total of occurrence 112 per big hit of 149.1. Then, the average in the normal state in which the probability does not change is the special figure effective total in the normal state / the number of big hits in the normal state = 193.
It becomes 5. The maximum number of times of startup between the big hits in this normal time is 449 and the minimum is 46. The average of the number of times of start-up between big hits at the time of probability change is the special figure effective total (35 + 32 + 25) at the time of probability change / the number of occurrences of big hits at the time of probability change 3≈30.7. Then, the maximum number of times of start-up during the big hit is 35 and the minimum is 25 when the probability changes. The number of start-ups between stochastic fluctuations means the total number of effective start-ups of special symbols from the start of business today to the first probability improvement state or the next probability improvement state from the end of the probability improvement state It is the total of the number of effective starts of the special symbol until, and its average and maximum are 1424.

Further, the average of the probability-during-progress balls is 10778, and the maximum is 1, which is data relating to the balls in the specific game state that occur when the probability continuation control is performed repeatedly.
1975, and the minimum is 9580. Furthermore, the data of the number of times the probability improving state occurs when the repetition continuation control of the probability variation is performed, the average of the probability variation continuation number is 4.5 times, the maximum is 5.0 times, and the minimum is 4.0 times. Has become. In this way, detailed data relating to the probability improvement state, which is an example of the special game state, is output, so that the gaming machine manager or the like can manage the gaming machine in more detail.

In addition, there are 10 hit balls that have been hit in the game area.
Data on the number of times of start-up that has been added up every time the number reaches 00 is added up and output. The average of the number of effective starts of special symbols is 53.6, and also the normal electric role (ordinary variable winning ball device 11
0) the number of winning prizes to 8.3, the maximum number of effective starting of special symbols is 75, the maximum number of winning prizes to the ordinary electric role (ordinary variable winning ball device 110) is 21, the minimum number of effective starting of special symbols Is 30, and the minimum number of winning prizes for a normal electric power combination (normal variable winning ball device 110) is 0. Normally, the average of the number of effective starts of the symbol is 30.8, the maximum is 53, and the minimum is 15. Further, from the start of business today to the present time, the total number of hit balls is 3062 × 10, the total number of payout balls which is the total number of prize balls paid out is 4360 × 10, and the difference calculated by the total number of hit balls-the total number of payout balls The number of balls is -1298 × 10,
The divisor that can be calculated by (number of paid-out balls / number of driven-in balls) x 100% is 142.4. In addition, the congestion rate is 134.0%
It has become.

Here, the customer stagnation rate is a ratio of the actual sales to the sales when the ball-playing game is not performed at all, and is represented by (sales in the case of one-time exchange / actual sales Earnings)
Calculated as × 100%. Sales in case of one-time exchange,
It has the same meaning as sales when no ball game is played, and if a big hit occurs, you must exchange the ball you have acquired for a prize, and you need to invest cash etc. to play the game again. In the case where the big hit is not made, it corresponds to a value obtained by multiplying the difference number (when the number of hit balls exceeds the number of payout balls) during the period when the big hit is not made, by the unit price of ball rental (for example, 4 yen). The customer stagnation rate is an index for determining how much a player can play a game without investing valuable value such as cash in the current gaming machine as compared with one-time exchange.

Further, the par value of the cards used in this pachinko gaming machine is 0, 10000 yen cards, 50
Four 00 yen cards, three 3000 yen cards, 200
There are 5 0 yen cards and 0 1000 yen cards. Furthermore, the number of errors that occurred in this pachinko gaming machine is shown as zero. It should be noted that the payout rate in a normal time (when it is neither in the big hit state nor in the probability improving state) may be aggregated and output. In that case, the number of payout balls for every 1000 thrown balls in the normal time is calculated by totaling,
It is conceivable to aggregate and calculate the number of hit balls and the number of payout balls between the big hits.

FIG. 9 shows data output based on the input of the unit number 0046 by the output operation of each data of each unit by the keyboard 76 described above. The unit number 0046 is a pachinko machine in the 67's belonging to group 3, and the model code is 0.

In this pachinko gaming machine, the lucky number mode is set to 01, that is, the mode in which the jackpot pattern is the determination target of the lucky number, and the probability of occurrence of the specific gaming state is set to 02. In addition, the dice game start number is 1, 3,
5,7,9, dice game end number is 2,4,6,8,
It is set to 0. 1 of Sunday, August 15, 1993
The aggregated data up to the present time of 6:00 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, description of the same kind of data as that shown in FIG. 8 is omitted, and differences will be mainly described here.

In the table shown in FIG. 9, right generation means
This shows the number of times that a pachinko ball entered the right winning opening 332 and a right was generated. Hoden prize refers to the number of prize balls that have won the standard electric prize (ordinary variable prize ball device 306), and from the start of today's business until the first right occurrence or a certain right occurrence has disappeared. The number of winnings of pachinko balls to the ordinary electric role (ordinary variable winning ball device 306) from the time point until the next right is generated is shown.
Then, 3.1 / time, which is a value obtained by dividing the total number 47 of winning prizes for the ordinary electric power combination by the total number of times 15 of big hits based on the display result (ordinary symbol) of the normal variable display device 302, is one big hit. Is shown as the average number of winning prizes. The special equipment winning means the number of winning pachinko balls to the special device operating opening (right winning opening 332), from the start of business today to the first right occurrence or when a certain right occurrence state disappears. The number of winnings to the special device operating port until the next right is generated is shown. The special equipment winning rate is shown as 15 total number of special equipment winning prize / total number of special prize winning prize × 47 × 100% ≈31.9%. The starting winning is the number of winning balls that have been won in the special winning opening starting port 314 during the right generation period, and is shown for each number of times the right is generated. The number of times of opening is the number of times the special variable winning ball device 316 is opened based on the fact that a pachinko ball wins the big winning opening starting port 314 during the right generation period. In principle, the number of times of starting winning is increased, but if the next starting winning occurs during the opening operation, the starting winning is ignored. The average number of releases is shown as 15.9. In addition, according to this table, it is shown that the gaming device executes the game operation 14 times after the probability variation starts and the specific gaming state occurs.

Of the total data shown below the table of FIG. 9, the normal symbol big hit number is usually the variable display device 302.
Normal variable winning ball device 3 according to the display result when the variable stop of 3
06 means the number of occurrences of the regular symbol big hit that is released, and is 15 times. The number of times of rights occurrence (the number of times of occurrence of a specific game state) is 14 times, and the occurrence rate is 14 times of rights occurrence / number of normal symbol big hits 15 × 100% ≈93.
It becomes 3%. The probability-variable right occurrence count is the number of times the right has occurred in the probability improving state (the number of occurrences of the specific game state at the time of probability change), and is nine times. The probability of occurrence of the probability of changing the probability of the right is 9 times of the occurrence of the right of changing the probability of probability / the number of times of occurrence of the right 14 × 100% ≈64.3%. The number of start-ups between rights occurrences is the normal symbol effective start-up from the start of today's business until the first rights occurrence state or until the next rights occur after one right occurrence state ends It is the number of times, and the average is 50.8
It has become. Further, the average number of startups during right generation during normal times in which the probability improvement state is not set is 117.8, the maximum thereof is 195, and the minimum thereof is 71. The average number of startups between rights occurrences at the time of probability fluctuation is 13.2,
The maximum is 23 and the minimum is 6. The number of startups between stochastic fluctuations is the normal symbol effective start from the start of today's business until the probability improvement state is started or from the end of a certain probability improvement state to the start of the next fluctuation state It is the number of times, the average is 294.5, the maximum is 4
16 and the minimum is 173. An average of 22.7 normal symbol effective start times, a maximum of 35, and a minimum of 10 are shown every time the number of pachinko balls hit in the game area reaches 1000. It should be noted that 1198 in the payout column of the table shown in FIG.
Is surrounded by a frame, which means that the probability improvement state has not ended.

Next, an operation procedure in the case of outputting various data for each group or various data for each machine in all the pachinko game machines will be described with reference to FIG. To display the data on the CRT 74, the total key 83 is first pressed. On the other hand, the data is
When printing is desired, the printing key 97 is first pressed. Next, all the keys 85 are operated, and finally the sales key 8 is operated.
By operating 8, the sales data for each group, the total sales data for all pachinko gaming machines, and the average sales data for all pachinko gaming machines are output. On the other hand, if the difference number key 90 is finally pressed after the all-unit key 85 is pressed,
The difference data for each group, the total difference data of all pachinko gaming machines, and the average difference data of all pachinko gaming machines are output. Furthermore, when the division key 91 is pressed last, the division data for each group and the average division data of all the pachinko gaming machines are output. If the function key 98 is pressed last after pressing all the keys 85, the data of each pachinko gaming machine for each vehicle is output for each group classification. Its output state is shown in FIGS.
1 is shown.

In FIG. 10, Sunday, August 15, 1993
Aggregated data as of 22:30 is shown.
Unit numbers 0001 to 003 belonging to group 1
0, that is, 1 to 37-series model code 01 pachinko gaming machines, for each pachinko gaming machine 1
Difference data, split data (sales amount data, big hit number data, big hit number data at the time of probability fluctuation, special symbol starting number data for every 1000 driving (start 1), ordinary symbol starting number for every 1000 driving Data (start 2), actual jackpot occurrence rate in special symbols (total number of starts / number of jackpots),
Various data such as probability setting values are shown, and the average data thereof are also shown. In addition, such data is similarly shown for the groups 2 and 3.

Unlike FIG. 10, FIG. 11 shows aggregated data relating to the repetition continuation control of the probability fluctuation.
That is, the pachinko gaming machines of the model code 01 of the 1st to 37th series are the average value, the maximum value, the minimum value, the initial winning average winning ball, and the initial win Various data of the average number of continuations are shown. Although not shown, groups 2 and 3 are similarly displayed. Here, the initial hit average payout and the initial hit average continuation number will be described. The calculation of the average initial payout is performed in the following procedure.

When a big hit occurs in the game state in the normal state, if the big hit is not a probability fluctuation pattern, the payout calculated based on the big hit (the number of payout balls during the big hit and the number of hit balls) The difference number of) is calculated as the payout for one event. On the other hand, when the big hit is a probability change symbol, the payout during the probability change including the big hit following the big hit is calculated as the payout for one event.
Then, a value obtained by dividing the calculated total number of payouts by the number of events is the initial hit average payout. Therefore, when all of the big hits generated in the normal state are caused by the probability variation symbols, the value of the initial hit average payout and the average value of the probability variation payout match.

By referring to the average of the probability-during-progress-ball-out, it is possible to roughly understand the payout-ball while the probability continuation control is being repeated. On the other hand, if a big hit occurs in the normal state including the case where the repeated control of the probability fluctuation is not executed by referring to the first hit average payout, the game is performed by the big hit that continuously occurs after the big hit. It is possible to grasp the average of the profits given to the person.

Next, the average number of times of continuous initial hits will be described. The calculation of the average number of continuations per first is performed in the following procedure. When a big hit occurs in the normal game state and the big hit is not a probability variation symbol, the first hit continuation frequency is calculated as one. On the other hand, if the big hit is a probability change symbol, the number of big hits generated during the probability change continuation control is calculated as the initial hit continuous number. That is,
In the latter case, the initial hit continuation frequency coincides with the probability fluctuation continuation frequency. Then, a value obtained by dividing the total sum of the number of times of initial hits by the number of big hits generated in the normal state is a value calculated as the average number of times of initial hits.

The average number of times of probability fluctuation continuation is data capable of grasping how many times the probability improvement state occurs on average under the assumption that the repetition continuation control of probability fluctuation is executed. On the other hand, by referring to the average continuous number of initial hits, when a big hit occurs in the normal state including the case where the repetition continuation control of the probability variation is not executed,
It is possible to grasp the number of times a big hit occurs continuously after the big hit.

Next, when it is desired to output various data over a fixed period, the total key 83 is first pressed when displaying it on the CRT 74. On the other hand, when it is desired to print out by the printer 75, the print key 97 is first pressed. Next, if the key 94 is pressed for 3 days and then the all-units key 85 is pressed, and finally the function key 98 is pressed, each data for all three days of the pachinko gaming machine is output. On the other hand, if the key 95 is pressed for one week instead of the key 94 for three days, data for one week is output. If the two-week key 96 is pressed instead of the one-week key 95, data for two weeks is output. Further, by pressing the group key 86 instead of the all-units key 85, inputting and setting the group number to be output by the numerical value input key 99 and pressing the function key 98, various data of the input-set group can be obtained. Is output. Further, instead of the group key 86, each unit key 8
After pressing 7 and inputting and setting the unit number to be output by the numerical input key 99, and then pressing the function key 98, various data of the pachinko gaming machine corresponding to the input and set unit number is output. . FIG. 12 shows the output status of various data for one week for all pachinko gaming machines.

According to FIG. 12, aggregated data for one week of the pachinko gaming machines belonging to group 1 as of 22:30 on Sunday, August 15, 1993 is output.
According to this FIG. 12, unit numbers 0001 (1st series), unit numbers 0002 (2nd series), unit numbers 0003 (3rd series), etc. are divided for each pachinko machine, and one day before today, 2 A day ago ... 6
It collects and outputs various types of data such as shot ball data, difference ball data, and divisor data before the day. In addition, the average of those various data and the data as of today are output.

Next, sales of each pachinko machine for each group,
A case of outputting data such as the number of big hits and the number of differences will be described. When data is to be displayed on the CRT 74, the total key 83 is pressed. On the other hand, when it is desired to print data with the printer 75, the print key 97 is pressed. Next, after operating the group key 86, the group to be output is input by the numerical input key 99. Next, if the sales key 88 is operated, sales data for each pachinko gaming machine, group total sales data, and average sales data are output. Jackpot key 89 instead of sales key 88
Is operated, the jackpot number data and the group average jackpot number data for each pachinko gaming machine are output. This average jackpot count data is, specifically, the average of all jackpots, the average of jackpots during normal times, the average of jackpots during probability fluctuations, and the average of jackpots during probability fluctuations / total jackpot counts. That is, the average of the occurrence rates of the probability improvement state. If the difference number key is operated instead of the big hit key 89, difference number data for each vehicle, group total difference number data, and average difference number data are output. If the divisor key 91 is operated instead of the difference key 90, diopter data for each platform and group average divisor data are output. If the start key 92 is pressed instead of the divisor key 91, the starting number data for each vehicle and the group average starting number data are output. The data of each unit output by such a key operation is arranged and output from the top in the order of the unit numbers of the pachinko gaming machines belonging to the input set group, but the size of the data to be output is large. In order to output the data in order from the top, if the group input is set by the above-mentioned numerical value input key 99, the order key 84 is pressed, and then the sales key 88, the big hit key 89, etc. are pressed. Good.

Next, the case where each data of each unit of each group is output will be described. When data is to be displayed on the CRT 74, the total key 83 is first operated. When data is to be printed by the printer 75, the print key 97 is operated. Next, operate the group key 86 to input the output group with the numerical input key 99,
Finally, the function key 98 is operated. As a result, various data (for example, data of the type shown in FIG. 8 or 9) of each pachinko gaming machine belonging to the input-set group is output.

FIG. 13 further shows the average of the above-mentioned data of all the gaming machines belonging to Group 1, and the average of the data of 1 day ago, 2 days ago, 3 days ago, 4 days ago, 5 days ago, and 6 days ago. Further, the average of each data for one week and the average of each data for two weeks are shown. further,
The number of digi game start numbers, the number of digi game end numbers, the number of non-quantitative numbers throughout the day, the dice ratio, and the sales are shown at the present time. Then, when the amusement hall side sees this data and wants to change and set the ball holding ratio, the numeric key 9
9 is pressed to input and set the desired ball holding ratio, and then the function key 98 is pressed. Then, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 13, there is shown a plan for bringing the ball holding ratio close to the set desired value. In Fig. 13, the percentage of balls held is "4.
The case where the value is input to "0" is shown.
The dice game start number is set to 2, the dice game end number is set to 4, and the fixed quantity number throughout the day is set to 1. In that case, the ball holding ratio is 45 and the sales forecast is 745. As a second plan, the dice game start number is set to 3, the dice game end number is set to 2, and the unquantified number throughout the day is set to 0. In this case, the ball holding ratio is 38 and the sales forecast is 789. Such a prediction is 2
The hall management computer 70 performs a simulation based on the weekly jackpot pattern data, and the number of ball-holding game start numbers, ball-holding game end numbers, and all-day fixed-quantity numbers close to the desired ball holding rate are calculated and output. It Then, the sales forecast is calculated and output under the assumption that the operating rate is the same, the business is conducted according to the number of the fixed quantity numbers, the start, the finish, and the whole day.

FIG. 14 is a timing chart showing the occurrence of a big hit, the stop symbol at that time, and the change in the start / end state of the ball game. In FIG. 14, the case where the big hits are generated 18 times in total of 1 to 18 is shown, and the stop symbol of the variable display device at the time of the second big hit is "5", which is the dice game starting number. If a big hit occurs, the dice game is started, and if the result of the display on the variable display device is the "9", which is the dice game end number, and a big hit occurs, the dice game is started. finish. Also,
A dice game occurs at the "3" alignment, a dice game ends at the "4" alignment, and a dice game starts at the "3" alignment. Then, when the player stops the game during the ball-ball game, an attendant in the game hall performs a predetermined reset operation to end the ball-ball game.

In addition, when the clerk at the game hall does not perform a predetermined reset operation and the hall management computer 70 determines that the player has stopped the game during the dice game, It is conceivable that ball rental by the card processing machine 12 is performed and reset when the sales signal is input from the card processing machine 12. In this case, in order to obtain accurate data, it is necessary to calculate the number of balls owned by the player and reset it when the sales signal is input even though the number of balls owned is not 0. Good.

The features and modifications of the above-described embodiments of the invention will be listed below.

(1) In the present embodiment, the probability improving state is used as an example of a special game state in which the symbols that are big hits in a short period of time in the variable display device 102 or the ordinary variable display device 202 are easily aligned. I explained using an example. For example, in the output example of FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, the average of the probability variation fluctuation balls is displayed as an example of the average of the number of disadvantages during the duration of the special game state,
Alternatively, as an example of the average number of times of continuation of the special game state, the average of the number of times of probability fluctuation continuation is displayed. However, the special game state in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the probability improving state. As an example of other game states that constitute the special game state, for example, the following game states can be cited. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, the display result of the variable display device 102 becomes the predetermined identification information, thereafter, the variable display time of the symbol on the normal symbol display unit 104 is shortened until the predetermined game condition is satisfied. It is conceivable to configure so that control is performed. Such a game state is particularly referred to as a general electric open improvement state. The variable display time of the symbol on the normal symbol display unit 104 is shortened, so that the number of times of stop display of the symbol on the normal symbol display unit 104 increases per unit time. By this, specific identification information in the normal symbol display unit 104 (for example, 10 kinds of alignment such as 77)
Is displayed more frequently, and the movable member 111 is opened more often. Therefore, the normal variable winning ball device 1
It is relatively easy to win a ball at 10, and a relatively large number of starting prizes are generated in a short time. As a result, the number of times the symbols are started on the variable display device 102 is increased, and even if the probability of a big hit is not improved, a big hit is likely to occur in a short time. It is conceivable that the special game state is configured by the normal electric power open improved state which is such a game state.

(2) As described with reference to FIG. 7, in the present invention, in order to calculate the difference number by the total number of payout balls and the number of driven-in balls during the probability fluctuation period, the player during the probability fluctuation period. You can accurately grasp the number of balls that will be the number of balls that
More detailed management is possible. The management device according to the present invention may be provided for each game machine installation island of a pachinko game machine. Alternatively, a management device having a calculation function as described in FIG. 7 may be provided for each pachinko gaming machine.

(3) The information about the probability variation payout balls and the probability variation continuation number shown in FIG. 8 or 9 is grasped by the gaming machine manager or the like, and is also disclosed to the player. You may. In this case, for example, the information may be displayed on the variable display device by a predetermined operation, or the information may be displayed on a predetermined information disclosure device. .
