Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the opportunities of ball entries to a start means capable of imparting the big winning of a large profit in an advantageous state. <P>SOLUTION: When determining a variation pattern in which a first start holding ball is not stored in the prescribed area of a RAM and a second start holding ball is stored in a probability variable state and in a time shortening state, a main CPU determines a specified variation pattern wherein variation time is set long during regular pattern variation. Thus, while the execution of a second pattern variation game is to be allowed only once, when regular pattern winning drawing is won during the variation of the one second pattern variation game, a first pattern variation game is executed immediately when the second pattern variation game under execution is ended if a game ball can be made to enter a lower start winning port while an opening/closing blade 26 is open by the winning in the winning drawing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that is provided with a plurality of starting means for providing a starting condition for a symbol variation game and that preferentially executes a symbol variation game based on entering a specific starting means.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a gaming machine) which is a type of gaming machine, a plurality of types of starting winning holes are provided on the surface of the game board, and each starting winning hole is entered into the starting winning hole. A reserved ball storage unit is provided for storing the played game balls as start-up reserved balls. In this type of gaming machine, the symbol variation game based on the start holding ball stored in the holding ball storage unit of any one of the start winning ports is preferentially executed among the plurality of start winning ports, There is a game that does not execute a symbol variation game based on a ball entered into another start winning opening until all the symbol variation games based on the start holding ball have been consumed.

In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, two start winning ports (a first start winning port and a second start winning port) are arranged. While the first start winning opening is always allowed to enter a game ball, the second starting winning opening is provided with an opening / closing blade for performing an opening / closing operation, and the opening / closing blade is opened when a specific condition is satisfied. The ball is in an open state, and entry is permitted. And in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the symbol variation game based on the start hold ball stored in the hold storage unit (hereinafter referred to as “second hold storage unit”) of the second start winning opening is preferentially executed. ing.
JP 2005-304932 A

  In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the above-described specific condition is easily established in a state where the variation time is shortened (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”), and the opening / closing blades of the second start winning opening are opened. And in the gaming machine of patent document 1, when winning the big hit lottery based on the game ball detected at each starting winning opening, the big winning game having different profit is given to each starting winning opening. Specifically, when a big win lottery based on a game ball detected at the first start winning opening is won, a big hit game with the maximum number of rounds of the big hit game set to 15 is given, while the second start winning prize is given. When the big hit lottery based on the game ball detected in the mouth is won, the big hit game with the maximum number of rounds of the big hit game set to 10 is awarded. During the time-short state, the chance to enter the second start winning opening is increased by the opening and closing blade opening operation, and the symbol variation game based on the start holding ball in the second holding storage unit is preferentially executed. In addition, the number of wins based on game balls detected at the second start winning opening increases. However, even if you win the jackpot lottery based on the entrance to the 2nd start winning opening, you will only get a jackpot game with 10 profitable rounds, so even though you won the jackpot during the advantageous short-time state. However, there was a risk of dissatisfaction that there was little profit for the player.

  Therefore, in order to solve this problem, when a big hit is made based on a ball entered into the first start winning opening, a big hit game of 10 rounds is given to enter the second start winning opening. It is conceivable to change so as to give a big hit game with 15 rounds when a big hit is made based on the game. In this case, if the player enters the second start winning opening during the short-time state, the chances of winning a big hit with 15 profitable rounds will increase.

  However, even if the number of times of opening the second start winning opening increases during the short time state, it becomes easy to enter the game. If you enter only the first starting prize opening, you will not be able to make full use of the opportunity to win the jackpot of 15 rounds you got. As a result, only the symbol variation game based on the game ball entering the first start winning opening is digested, and even if a big win is won, only a big hit with 10 rounds can be won. The meaning of associating the second start winning opening with the jackpot of 15 rounds is lost.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can increase the chances of entering a starting means that can give a big jackpot of profit in an advantageous gaming state. The purpose is to do.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 changes the first symbol variation game performed by varying the predetermined first symbol and the second symbol defined separately from the first symbol. And a display means for displaying the second symbol variation game to be performed, and a starting condition for the first symbol variation game is provided by detecting the game ball that has entered, and the entrance of the game ball is in an open state. First starting means having an opening / closing mechanism that operates so as to be able to take a closed state, second starting means for giving a starting condition for the second symbol variation game by detecting a game ball that has entered, and each starting means A storage unit for storing the detected game ball as a start holding ball for each start unit, a variation pattern storage unit for storing a variation pattern capable of specifying the variation content of the symbol variation game, and the first 1 starter It is determined whether or not the corresponding first start hold ball is stored in the hold storage means, and if the determination result is affirmative, a big hit lottery is performed based on the first start hold ball, Based on the lottery result, the variation pattern is selected, the first symbol variation game is executed according to the variation pattern, and when the first start holding ball is not stored, the second starting means It is determined whether or not the second start holding ball corresponding to is stored in the holding storage means, and if the determination result is affirmative, the big hit lottery is performed based on the second start holding ball, and the lottery result The game control means for selecting the variation pattern based on the variation pattern, and executing the second symbol variation game according to the variation pattern, and when winning the lottery lottery, the end of each symbol variation game. When a bonus including a big hit game is later granted and the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball is won, the player can obtain a profit that can be obtained than when the big hit lottery based on the second start holding ball is won. A bonus granting means for granting a bonus that is set largely, and the game control means in an increased number of times that the number of operations per unit time is increased so that the opening / closing mechanism of the first starting means can be opened. If the first start hold ball is not stored and the second start hold ball is stored, a specific change time is set as the change pattern based on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery. The gist is that a variation pattern is selected and the second symbol variation game is executed according to the specific variation pattern.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the normal symbol display means for displaying the normal symbol variation game performed by changing the normal symbol, and the game ball that has entered the ball are detected. A third starting means for giving a starting condition for the normal symbol variation game; a normal symbol holding storage means for entering the third starting means and storing the detected game ball as a starting holding ball for the third starting means; It is determined whether or not the normal symbol start holding ball corresponding to the third starting means is stored in the normal symbol hold storage means. If the determination result is affirmative, the normal symbol start hold ball is determined based on the normal symbol start holding ball. A normal symbol control means for performing a normal symbol variation game based on a lottery result of whether or not to win, and the opening / closing mechanism after the normal symbol variation game is ended when the winning lottery is won Open Release control means for causing the game control means to display the fluctuation pattern when the first start hold ball is not stored and the second start hold ball is stored in the increased number of times state. When determining, the gist is to determine whether or not the normal symbol is fluctuating, and to select the specific variation pattern when the determination result is affirmative.

The gist of a third aspect of the present invention is the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, wherein the specific variation pattern is a variation pattern for performing reach variation effects.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the privilege granted by the privilege granting means includes a number of rounds that constitute a jackpot game. There is a big hit game and a second big hit game in which the number of rounds is larger than the first big hit game, and the big hit based on the first starting hold ball is more than when the big hit lottery based on the second start holding ball is won. The gist is that when the lottery is won, the provision probability of the second big hit game is set higher.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the number-of-times increase state is executed by executing a predetermined upper limit number of symbol variation games. The bonus granted by the bonus granting means includes the state of increasing the number of times, and won the jackpot lottery based on the first starting hold ball than when winning the jackpot lottery based on the second starting hold ball The main point is that the probability of giving the increased number of times when the upper limit number is set higher is set higher.

The For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a winning ball corresponding to the number of gaming balls that have entered the big winning opening 29. In this embodiment, the big hit game is advantageous to the player because a chance to win a prize ball is obtained.

  The big hit game is started after the big win symbol is determined by the internal lottery, and the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening stage is finished, the round game in which the grand prize opening 29 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 28 is limited to a predetermined number of rounds (upper round number) (15 or 2 times in the present embodiment). As multiple times. One round game is either that a predetermined round game time has elapsed since the start of the round game, or that a predetermined maximum number of game balls entered in one round game The process ends when the end condition is satisfied. In addition, after the end of one round game, the next round game is performed with a predetermined interval time in between. The big hit game ends with an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game after the end of the round game of the specified number of rounds.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the first hold indicator R is disposed on the right side of the first special figure indicator H0 in the effect display device 20. The first hold indicator R enters the lower start winning opening 27 and becomes a start hold ball (hereinafter referred to as “first start hold ball”), which is stored in the machine (RAM 30c). This is a display device that displays the number of stored balls (hereinafter referred to as “first reserved memory number”), and the number of times of the first symbol variation game being held is notified by the display content of the first hold indicator R. . The first reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27, and is decremented by 1 (-1) when the first symbol variation game is started. When a game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27 during the first symbol variation game (or the second symbol variation game), the first reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number (this embodiment) Then, it is accumulated up to 4). The first hold indicator R is composed of a plurality (four) of light emitting means including a first hold lamp R1, a second hold lamp R2, a third hold lamp R3, and a fourth hold lamp R4. For example, when the first hold lamp R1 is lit, it is informed that one first symbol variation game is on hold.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a second holding indicator L is disposed on the left side of the second special figure indicator H1 in the effect display device 20. The second hold indicator L enters the upper start winning opening 25 and becomes a start hold ball (hereinafter referred to as “second start hold ball”), which is stored in the inside of the machine (RAM 30c). This is a display that displays the number of stored balls (hereinafter referred to as “second reserved memory number”), and the number of times of the second symbol variation game held by the display content of the second hold indicator L is notified. . The second reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 25, and is decremented by 1 (-1) when the second symbol variation game is started. When a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 25 during the second symbol variation game (or the first symbol variation game), the second reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number (this embodiment) Then, it is accumulated up to 4). The second hold indicator L is composed of a plurality of (four) light emitting means including a first hold lamp L1, a second hold lamp L2, a third hold lamp L3, and a fourth hold lamp L4. For example, when the first hold lamp L1 and the second hold lamp L2 are lit, it is notified that two second symbol variation games are on hold.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a 7-segment type normal symbol display H10 is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 20. In the normal symbol display H10, a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “normal diagrams”) different from the symbols used in the symbol variation game (special symbols and decorations) are changed to be used for the normal symbols. The normal symbol variation game for deriving the above is executed. Hereinafter, the normal symbol variation game may be referred to as “ordinary game”. In the present embodiment, one common figure is derived in the common figure game, and the types of the common figure are “0” and “1”. In the present embodiment, the normal symbol display H10 corresponds to the normal symbol display means.

  The player can recognize the per-normal figure or the off-normal figure from the normal figure that is finally displayed in a fixed stop in the normal game. When the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is confirmed and stopped, the common symbol per unit can be recognized. The universal map that can recognize this universal map is the display result of the hit. When the display result per usual map is displayed as a fixed stop, the player is given a gaming state per common figure. In addition, when the usual figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is confirmed and stopped, the deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this misplacement becomes a misplacement display result.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an operation gate 23 is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 20. Behind the operation gate 23, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 4) that detects a game ball that has passed through the ball is provided. The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game in response to the detection (passage detection) of the game ball. The ordinary game is an effect performed to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the opening / closing blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened (whether a game ball can be inserted into the lower starting winning opening 27). It is. As described above, the lower start winning opening 27 is normally closed by the opening / closing blade 26, but the opening / closing blade 26 is opened when a game state is given per game. It will be in an open state and can enter a game ball. In other words, the specific opening condition described above is a win for a lottery per ordinary figure. When the game state is given per usual figure, the opening and closing blades 26 are opened so that the game ball can easily enter the lower start winning opening 27. In the present embodiment, the operation gate 23 and the gate sensor SE4 correspond to the third starting means.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a general figure hold display device M is disposed on the left side of the effect display device 20. The general-purpose hold indicator M has a game ball that has passed through the operating gate 23 and becomes a start-retained ball (hereinafter referred to as a “normal-use start-retained ball”), which is stored in the machine (RAM 30c). This is a display for displaying the number of starting and holding balls stored (hereinafter referred to as “the number of ordinary maps stored”). . The usual-pending memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the operating gate 23, and decremented by 1 (-1) when the usual-game is started. Then, when a game ball enters the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the general-purpose reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). The general hold indicator M is composed of a plurality of (four) light emitting means including a first hold lamp M1, a second hold lamp M2, a third hold lamp M3, and a fourth hold lamp M4. For example, when the first hold lamp M1, the second hold lamp M2, and the third hold lamp M3 are lit, it is informed that three ordinary games are on hold.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability variation function is a function that provides a probability variation state in which the probability of winning a lottery (winning probability) varies from a normal probability having a low probability (normal state) to a high probability after the jackpot game ends. The probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10,000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is executed or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. That is, the probability variation state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, the probability variation state is set to 10000 times as the predetermined number of times, and thus is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. In addition, if a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a lottery fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, and the player expects that the probability variation will be a big hit. While playing games.

  In the present embodiment, a promiscuous state is given after the jackpot game is finished (a state where a lottery probability is high) is given, and a promiscuous state is not given after the jackpot game is finished (a lottery probability is low). The big hit becomes a non-probable big hit.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”). The short-time function benefits from a short-time state in which the fluctuation time of the ordinary game is shortened and the lottery probability (winning probability) of the ordinary game based on the passage of the operating gate 23 varies from a normal probability having a low probability to a high probability. It is a function given as. In addition, the opening and closing blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened and closed with different operation patterns when winning in the usual game, depending on whether the time reduction state is given or not. ing. For example, in the present embodiment, when the normal game is won when the short time state is not given, the open / close blade 26 is opened once and the open state is kept until 0.3 (seconds) elapses. To maintain. On the other hand, when the normal game is won when the short-time state is given, the number of times the opening / closing blade 26 is opened increases to 3 times and 1.4 (seconds) after the opening time is released in one opening. The open state is maintained until (long time compared with the normal state) elapses. That is, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the time-short state is given compared to the state where the time-short state is not given. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. That is, the time-short state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In addition, the said number of times that a short time state is given changes according to the gaming state when winning a big hit. In this embodiment, the short time state corresponds to the increased number of times state.

  Hereinafter, the jackpot game (15 round jackpot game and two round jackpot game) and the jackpot game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). . Note that FIG. 3 (a) is awarded when winning a big hit lottery and a small hit lottery awarded when winning the big hit lottery based on the second start holding ball detected at the upper start winning opening 25. Indicates the type of small hit game to be played. Also, FIG. 3 (b) is awarded when winning the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery awarded when winning the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball detected at the lower start winning opening 27. Indicates the type of small hit game to be played.

Initially, the jackpot game prescribed | regulated to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when winning a big hit lottery based on each start holding ball detected at the upper start winning opening 25 and the lower start winning opening 27, FIG. 3 (a) and FIG. 3 (b) One jackpot is determined from the three types of jackpots shown in FIG. 1, and a jackpot game based on the determined jackpot is given. Which of the three types of jackpots is to be awarded is determined according to the type of special figure (jacket symbol) determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, there are a first special figure as 100 types of jackpot symbols and a second special figure as 100 types of jackpot symbols, and each of the 100 types of first special charts and second special figures is a predetermined number. It is distributed. In FIG. 3A, for the sake of simplification of description, the first special diagrams distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “symbol A”, “symbol B”, and “symbol C”. Also, in FIG. 3B, in order to simplify the description, the second special diagrams distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “symbol a”, “symbol b”, and “symbol c”.

  The jackpot game based on the symbols A and a is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a certain change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbols A and a will be referred to as “probability 15 round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in 15 round games in the probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, it is set to open the grand prize winning opening 29 “once” in each round game. Further, in the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is finished and the time-short state is given until the end of the probability variation state. In FIGS. 3A and 3B, the case where the time-short state is given until the end of the probability variation state is described as “no limit”.

  The jackpot game based on the symbols B and b is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a certain change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbols B and b will be referred to as “probability two-round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 2-round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the probabilistic two-round big hit game, it is set so that the big winning opening 29 is opened “once” in each round game. In the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probabilistic state is given after the jackpot game and the time-short state is given until the end of the probable state, and the probable state only after the jackpot game ends. May be granted.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol C and the symbol c is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability variation state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a non-probability variation state is imparted). Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol C and the symbol c is referred to as “non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game”. In addition, in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the non-probability 15 round jackpot game, the grand prize winning opening 29 is set to be opened “once” in each round game. In the non-probability 15 round jackpot game based on the symbol C, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state and the short time state are not given after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, in the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game based on the symbol c, a short time state is given with the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) as the upper limit after the jackpot game ends.

Next, the small hit game prescribed | regulated to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a small hitting lottery based on each start holding ball detected by the upper start winning opening 25 and the lower starting winning opening 27 is won, FIG. 3A and FIG. ) Is determined, and a small hit game based on the determined small hit is given. In the present embodiment, there are a first special figure and a second special figure as a plurality of kinds of small hit symbols, and a first special figure and a second special symbol as the small hit symbols are distributed by a predetermined number. In FIG. 3A, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, the first special drawings distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “design D”. Also, in FIG. 3B, in order to simplify the description, the second special drawings distributed by a predetermined number are collectively shown as “symbol d”.

  In the small hit game based on the symbols D and d, the specified number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number (number of counts) of one round game is set to “9”. Yes. Further, in the single round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big winning opening 29 is opened “twice”. That is, in the present embodiment, in one round game of the small hit game, the big winning opening 29 is opened by the same number as the number of rounds set in the probability variation 2 round big hit game. In the small hit game, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probabilistic state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in a short time state If so, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the short time state. In addition, in the small hit lottery game, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is an uncertain change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the non-probable change state, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is If it is a non-time-short state, the game state after the small hit game is continued in the non-time-short state.

  In the present embodiment, the time from the stop of the fluctuation of the symbol variation game that gives the probability variation 2 round jackpot game to the start of the next symbol variation game through the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the symbol variation game that gives the small variation game The time from the change stop to the start of the next symbol change game through the small hit game is set to the same time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the player cannot discriminate the difference between the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game based on the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big winning opening 29. That is, the player cannot discriminate whether the winning game 2 round big hit game or the small hit game is given from the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening 29 or the time.

Next, the selection probability of the jackpot game defined in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
In the three types of jackpots shown in FIG. 3A, symbols A and B are assigned the first chart as 80 jackpot symbols out of the first chart as 100 types of jackpot symbols. Yes. In other words, if both the probabilistic big hit and the non-probable big hit are considered as “big hit”, the probability of probable big hit (probable 15 round big hit, probable 2 round big hit) is set to be 80% of the total big hit. Yes. In addition, among the first special symbols as 100 types of jackpot symbols, the first special symbol as 50 types of jackpot symbols is assigned to the symbol A, and as to the symbol B, as the 30 types of jackpot symbols. The first special drawing is distributed. In other words, the probability of winning 15 rounds of probability variation is set to be 50% of the overall jackpot, and the probability of winning 2 rounds of probability variation is set to be 30% of the overall jackpot. On the other hand, among the first special diagrams as 100 types of jackpot symbols, the first special diagrams as 20 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol C. In other words, the probability of winning 15 rounds of uncertain variation is set to be 20% of the overall jackpot.

  On the other hand, in the three types of jackpots shown in FIG. 3 (b), the symbols a and b have the second chart as 80 jackpot symbols out of the second chart as 100 types of jackpot symbols. It is distributed. In other words, if both the probable big hit and the non-probable big hit are considered as “big hit”, the probability of probable big hit (probable 15 round big hit, probable 2 round big hit) is set to be 80% of the total big hit. Yes. In addition, among the second special figures as 100 types of big hit symbols, the second special figure as 70 types of big hit symbols is distributed to the symbol a, and as the 10 types of big hit symbols, the symbol b is assigned to the symbol b. The second special figure is distributed. In other words, the probability that the probability variation of 15 lands is a big hit is set to be 70% of the overall jackpot, and the probability of the probability variation of two rounds is set to be 10% of the overall jackpot. On the other hand, among the second special figures as 100 kinds of big hit symbols, the second special figure as 20 kinds of big hit symbols is distributed to the symbol c. In other words, the probability of winning 15 rounds of uncertain variation is set to be 20% of the overall jackpot.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the allocation is made so that the selection ratio of the big hit game given to each symbol variation game is different. Therefore, even when the same “big hit” is won based on the first start hold ball and the second start hold ball, the probability that the 15 round big hit is selected is higher than the big hit lottery based on the second start hold ball. It is higher when the big hit lottery based on the first starting hold ball is won. In addition, even if the big hit lottery is performed based on which start holding ball, if the probability variation 15 round big hit game or the probability variation 2 round big hit game is awarded, the number of times given in the short time state does not change. However, when the big hit lottery based on the first starting hold ball is won and a non-probable 15 round big hit game is awarded, a time-short state is given with the upper limit of 100 times, while the second start holding ball is given. If the winning jackpot lottery is won and a non-probable 15-round jackpot game is awarded, the short-time state is not awarded. Therefore, considering the big hit as a whole, the probability that a short time state with a large number of times will be given is higher when the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball is won. Further, the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the second symbol variation game is set to be higher than the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the first symbol variation game. In the present embodiment, the big hit game with two rounds becomes the first big hit game, and the big hit game with 15 rounds becomes the second big hit game. In the present embodiment, the round game time of each round constituting the big hit game with 15 rounds is increased (for example, 25 (seconds)), while the round of each round constituting the big hit game with two rounds is made. The game time is shortened (for example, 0.6 (seconds)). In each round game, the number of prize balls for one entry to the big prize opening 29 is the same (for example, 15 (balls)). Therefore, as the number of rounds constituting the jackpot game increases, the number of prize balls that can be obtained increases. Therefore, “15 rounds” is a privilege that is highly profitable with respect to the number of prize balls, and “2 rounds”. Is a benefit with a small profit on the number of winning balls. The large number of rounds that make up the big hit game leads to “profit” in terms of winning the prize ball.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on a control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined order. The main CPU 30a is connected to a ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main CPU 30a and a RAM 30c that can write and call necessary data. The main CPU 30a is connected to an upper start sensor SE1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize opening 25 and a lower start opening sensor SE2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize opening 27. Has been. Further, the main CPU 30a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 29 and a gate sensor SE4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the operating gate 23. Further, the main CPU 30a includes a first special symbol display H0, a second special symbol display H1, a normal symbol display H10, a first hold indicator R, a second hold indicator L, and a general figure hold indicator M. Is connected. Further, the main CPU 30a is connected to a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL1 for operating the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blade 26 and a large winning opening solenoid SOL2 for operating the opening / closing operation of the large winning opening door 28. .

  The main CPU 30a sequentially updates the values of various random numbers such as a special hit determination random number, a big hit symbol random number, and a universal hit determination random number every predetermined cycle. Then, the main CPU 30a rewrites the value before update by setting the updated value in the setting area of the RAM 30c. The special hit determination random number for special figures is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) to determine whether to win or not, and if the big hit lottery is not won, the small hit lottery to determine whether to win This is a random number used in (small hit determination). The jackpot symbol random number is a random number used when determining the first special figure to be displayed on the first special figure display H0 in the case of a big hit, and the second special figure display H1 in the case of a big hit. This is a random number used when determining the second special figure to be confirmed and stopped. Moreover, the hit determination random number for a common figure is a random number used in the lottery per common figure (determination per common figure) for determining whether or not to make a hit per common figure. Further, the main CPU 30a of the present embodiment is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started).

  The ROM 30b stores a main control program for controlling the pachinko machine 10, various determination values (such as a big hit determination value, a small hit determination value, a common hit determination value), a plurality of types of variation patterns, and the like. The variation pattern is a pattern that is a base of a game effect (display effect, light effect, sound effect) from the start of the symbol change game (the first symbol change game or the second symbol change game) to the end of the game. It is shown. In the variation pattern, a game production effect time (variation time) is defined for each variation pattern.

  The variation pattern is either the variation pattern for the big hit effect selected when winning the big hit lottery, the variation pattern for the small hit effect selected when winning the small hit lottery, the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery And a variation pattern for a loss effect selected in the case of a loss that has not been won. The variation pattern for outlier production includes a variation pattern with reach (formation variation pattern for outlier reach production) that will eventually become a deviation after the formation of reach, and a variation pattern without reach that does not form a reach. There is. Also, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is a variation pattern selected when the probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game are determined, or when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is determined. There are fluctuation patterns to be selected. In this embodiment, the variation pattern selected when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game and the small hit game are determined is a pattern that executes a common effect in the symbol variation game and is associated with the same variation time. It has become. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, even if the display content of the variable display H2 is visually recognized, it is not possible to distinguish between the probability variation 2 round big hit game and the small hit game.

  The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the hit determination random numbers for special figures. In addition, the big hit judgment value is a big hit judgment value for low probability used in the big hit lottery when the gaming state is non-probable change state (low probability lottery state), and a big hit when the gaming state is probable state (high probability lottery state) There is a jackpot judgment value for high probability used in the lottery. For example, the possible numerical value of the random number for hit determination for special figure is set to all 600 integers from “0 (zero)” to “599”, and from that value, the big hit determination value for low probability is set. When two values are set, the rate at which the big hit determination is positively determined in the non-probability change state, that is, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is 2/600 (1/300). In addition, when 20 values are set as the high probability jackpot determination value, the rate at which the big hit determination is positively determined in the probability variation state, that is, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is 20/600 (1/30). Become.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the determination random number for special drawing. In this embodiment, in each symbol variation game, the numerical values that can be taken by the special design random numbers are set to all 600 integers from “0 (zero)” to “599”, and the first symbol variation game. One value is set as the small hit determination value at. In this case, the rate at which the small hit determination is positively determined in the first symbol variation game, that is, the winning probability of the small hit lottery is 1/600. In the present embodiment, three values are set as the small hit determination values in the second symbol variation game. In this case, the rate at which the small hit determination is positively determined in the second symbol variation game, that is, the winning probability of the small hit lottery is 3/600 (1/200). That is, the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the second symbol variation game is set to be higher than the winning probability of the small hit lottery in the first symbol variation game. The common figure determination value is a determination value used in a lottery per general figure, and is determined from the possible values of random numbers for general use. In addition, the judgment value per base figure is the low probability per base figure used in the lottery per lot when the gaming state is non-temporary and the high per lot used in the lottery when the gaming state is short. There is a judgment value per common figure for probability. For example, the number of possible random numbers for hit determination for common maps is set to a total of 251 integers from “0 (zero)” to “250”. When one value is set as the value, the rate at which the determination per common figure is positive in the non-time-short state, that is, the winning probability is 1/251. In addition, when 250 values are set as the high probability common figure determination value, the ratio at which the common figure determination is positively determined in the short-time state, that is, the winning probability is 250/251.

  The RAM 30c stores (sets) various types of information (such as various flags, various numbers of reserved memories, timer values, and count values) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

Next, a variation pattern stored in the ROM 30b of the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 shows some variation patterns among the plurality of variation patterns stored in the ROM 30b in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment.

  The variation patterns P1 to P3 are variation patterns for off-stage effects, and “13 (seconds)”, “2 (seconds)”, and “3 (seconds)” are associated as variation times, respectively. The variation pattern P1 is mainly selected in the normal state, and the variation patterns P2 and P3 are mainly selected when the probability variation state and the short time state are given.

  Further, the variation patterns P4 to P6 are variation patterns for a loss effect for performing reach variation effects (hereinafter, referred to as “variation patterns for a loss reach effect”), and the variation time is “20 (seconds)”, respectively. , “50 (seconds)” and “60 (seconds)” are associated with each other. The variation pattern P7 is a variation pattern for small hit effect, and “65 (seconds)” is associated as the variation time.

  The variation pattern P8 is a variation pattern for a big hit effect, and is a variation pattern that is selected when a probability variation 2 round big hit game is determined. The fluctuation pattern P8 is associated with the same fluctuation time “65 (seconds)” as the fluctuation pattern P7. The variation pattern P9 is a variation pattern for jackpot effect, and is a variation pattern that is selected when a probability variation 15 round jackpot game and a non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game are determined. The variation pattern P9 is associated with “70 (seconds)” as the variation time. In the present embodiment, the ROM 30b that stores the variation pattern corresponds to the variation pattern storage unit.

  Although not shown in FIG. 5, the ROM 30b of the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment stores a plurality of normal symbol variation patterns (ordinary symbol variation patterns) related to the execution of the usual game. Specifically, the normal time fluctuation pattern F1 that is selected when the time is short and the fluctuation time F1 is set to “10 (seconds)”, and the fluctuation time that is selected when the time is short is “5 (seconds). Are the two types of the usual map fluctuation pattern F2. In the present embodiment, the ROM 30b that stores the general pattern variation pattern that defines the variation content of the general game is the normal symbol variation pattern storage means.

  Therefore, in the variation patterns P1, P4 to P9, a variation time longer than the variation time defined in the normal variation pattern F2 selected in the time-short state is defined. On the other hand, in the variation patterns P2 and P3, the variation time shorter than the variation time defined in the normal variation pattern F2 is defined.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a that can execute control operations in a predetermined procedure, a ROM 31b that stores a control program for the overall CPU 31a, and a RAM 31c that can write and read necessary data. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The general CPU 31a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which the symbol variation game is started).

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a that can execute a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a ROM 32b that stores a control program for the sub CPU 32a, and a RAM 32c that can write and read necessary data. An effect display device 20 (variable display H2) is connected to the sub CPU 32a. Further, the sub CPU 32a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.).

Hereinafter, control contents executed by the main control board 30 (main CPU 30a), the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), and the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) will be described.
First, the control contents of the main control board 30 will be described.

  When the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the lower start winning port 27 and inputs a detection signal output from the lower start port sensor SE2 that detects the game ball, the first hold stored in the RAM 30c. A first hold determination is made as to whether or not the stored number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment).

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (first hold memory number <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 (+1) to the first hold memory number and rewrites the first hold memory number. Further, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the first hold determination, the main CPU 30a obtains the value of the special determination hit determination random number and the value of the big hit symbol random number from the RAM 30c, and sets the value as the first hold storage number. The data are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with each other. When the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (first hold memory number = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the first hold memory number exceeding the upper limit number, and for the hit determination for the special figure. Random values and jackpot symbol random numbers are not acquired.

  Further, when the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the upper start winning opening 25 and inputs a detection signal output by the upper start port sensor SE1 that detects the game ball, the main CPU 30a stores the first stored in the RAM 30c. 2 A second hold determination is made as to whether or not the hold storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment).

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (second hold memory number <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 to the second hold memory number (+1) and rewrites the second hold memory number. In addition, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the second hold determination, the main CPU 30a acquires the value of the special determination hit determination random number and the value of the big hit symbol random number from the RAM 30c, and sets the value as the second hold storage number. The data are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with each other. In addition, when the determination result of the second hold determination is negative (second hold memory number = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the second hold memory number exceeding the upper limit number, and for the hit determination for the special figure. Random values and jackpot symbol random numbers are not acquired. In the present embodiment, the RAM 30c that stores the game balls detected by the start winning ports 25 and 27 as the first start hold ball and the second start hold ball corresponds to the hold storage means.

Next, the control contents of the main control board 30 relating to the execution of the symbol variation game in the normal state will be described.
The main CPU 30a first reads the first reserved memory number under the condition that the symbol variation game can be executed, and determines whether or not the first reserved memory number stored in the RAM 30c is larger than “0”. I do. The conditions under which the symbol variation game can be executed are when the big hit game is not being played and the symbol variation game is not being executed.

  When the determination result of the start hold determination is affirmative (first hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a reads the value of the special hit determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c, and this value and the ROM 30b. Is compared with the jackpot determination value stored in the table, and whether or not the jackpot is determined is determined. In the big hit determination, when the gaming state is the normal state, the main CPU 30a compares the big probability determination value for low probability with the value of the random number for hit determination for the special figure, and the gaming state is a probable change state. Is compared with the value of the jackpot determination value for high probability and the value of the random number for hit determination for special figure.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number for the special figure matches the big hit determination value), the main CPU 30a determines the big hit and sets the big hit. Specifically, as a big hit setting, the main CPU 30a makes a final stop display in the symbol change game (first symbol change game) based on the value of the special symbol hit symbol random number (first special symbol). Decide. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the jackpot symbol of the first special figure is distributed for each type of jackpot game, so the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. It will be done. In addition, the main CPU 30a that has determined the jackpot selects and determines a variation pattern for the jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game.

  Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number does not match the big hit determination value), the main CPU 30a stores the value of the special hit determination random number and the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value (small hit determination value for the first symbol variation game) is compared to determine whether or not it is a small hit. When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the small hit determination value match), the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and performs the small hit setting.

Select and decide.

  In addition, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the small hit determination value do not match), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination as to whether or not to make a loss reach. When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment reach and performs the detachment reach setting. Specifically, as the miss reach setting, the main CPU 30a determines the miss symbol (first special diagram) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol varying game (first symbol varying game) and selects the variation pattern for the miss reach effect. And decide.

  Further, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment and performs the detachment setting. Specifically, the main CPU 30a, which has determined the detachment as the detachment setting, determines the detachable symbol (first special diagram) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (first symbol variation game), and the variation for the offending effect. A pattern (in this embodiment, a variation pattern P1) is selected and determined.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the start hold determination is negative (first hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the second hold memory number, and the second hold memory number stored in the RAM 30c is greater than “0”. Is determined whether or not the value is too large.

  When the determination result of the start hold determination based on the second start hold ball is affirmative (second hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a performs a big hit determination as described above. On the other hand, when the determination result of the start hold determination based on the second start hold ball is negative (second hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a enters the game ball into the upper start winning port 25 or the lower start winning port 27. And it waits, without making a symbol change game run until starting conditions are satisfied. When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the big hit and performs the big hit setting so that the big hit symbol (second symbol) displayed in the symbol change game (second symbol change game) is stopped. The special pattern) is determined, and a variation pattern for the big hit effect is selected and determined.

  Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines whether the small hit determination (the value of the random number for hit determination for the special figure and the small hit determination value (for the second symbol variation game) are the same as described above. No). When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and performs the small hit setting, thereby allowing the small hit symbol (second symbol) to be displayed in a definite stop in the symbol variation game (second symbol variation game). The special pattern) is determined, and the variation pattern for the small hit effect is selected and determined.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main CPU 30a performs the reach determination as described above.

  Further, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment and performs the detachment setting so that the detachable symbol (second special diagram) to be displayed in a definite stop in the symbol variation game (second symbol variation game). ) And a variation pattern for the offending effect (in this embodiment, the variation pattern P1) is selected and determined.

Next, the control content of the main control board 30 related to the execution of the symbol variation game in the probability variation state and the short time state will be described.
The main CPU 30a first reads the first reserved memory number under the condition that the symbol variation game can be executed, and determines whether or not the first reserved memory number stored in the RAM 30c is larger than “0”. I do.

  When the determination result of the start hold determination based on the first start hold ball is affirmative (first hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a performs a big hit determination as described above. When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the big hit and performs the big hit setting. Further, when the result of the big hit determination is negative, the main CPU 30a performs the small hit determination as described above. When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and performs the small hit setting. Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main CPU 30a performs the reach determination as described above. When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment reach and performs the detachment reach setting.

  Further, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main CPU 30a determines a deviation and performs a deviation setting (in this embodiment, one of the fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 is selected as the fluctuation pattern for the deviation effect. ).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the start hold determination based on the first start hold ball is negative (first hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a starts whether or not the second hold memory number is larger than “0”. Make a hold decision.

  When the determination result of the start hold determination based on the second start hold ball is affirmative (second hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a performs the big hit determination as described above, and when the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative Determine the jackpot and set the jackpot. Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main CPU 30a executes a loss process shown in FIG.

  In the detachment process, the main CPU 30a performs the small hit determination as described above (step S10). When the determination result of the small hit determination in step S10 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and performs the small hit setting (step S11). On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S10 is negative, the main CPU 30a performs reach determination in the same manner as described above (step S12). When the determination result of the reach determination in step S12 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment reach and performs the detachment reach setting (step S13).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination in step S12 is negative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal map is changing (whether or not the normal game is being executed) (step S14). In this embodiment, “in the normal map is changing”, there is a start holding ball for a general map, and a predetermined game between a general game that is executed first and a general game that is executed next. Interval time is also included. In addition, when a general game is being executed in a situation where there is no general-purpose start-up ball, or whether there is a general-purpose start-up ball, the general game is being executed. Cases are also included. On the other hand, “not changing the usual time” corresponds to the case where the usual time game is not being executed and there is no start holding ball for the usual time.

  Returning to step S14, if the determination result in step S14 is negative (not changing in the normal map), the main CPU 30a determines a deviation and normally performs a deviation setting (step S15). In the normal deviation setting, the main CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol (second special figure) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (second symbol variation game), and one of the variation patterns P2 and P3 for the deviation effect. Select and confirm. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S14 is affirmative (during normal map change), the main CPU 30a determines a deviation and performs a special deviation setting (step S16). In the special deviation setting, the main CPU 30a determines the outlier symbol (second special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game (second symbol variation game), and from the variation time associated with the variation patterns P2 and P3. The variation pattern P1 for the offending effect associated with the longer variation time is selected and determined.

  As described above, in the normal state, the probability variation state, and the short-time state, the main CPU 30a performs the big hit determination based on the first start hold ball before the big hit determination based on the second start hold ball. Separately from this, the main CPU 30a does not win either the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery based on each start holding ball in the normal state, and if the reach determination is not affirmative, As the fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation pattern P1 selected mainly in the normal state is selected. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a does not win any of the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery based on the first start holding ball in the probability changing state and the short time state, and if the reach determination is not affirmative, As the variation pattern for the first, either one of the variation patterns P2 and P3 selected mainly in the probability variation state and the time reduction state is selected. In addition, the main CPU 30a does not win the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery based on the second start holding ball in the probability changing state and the short time state, and if the reach determination is not positive, Perform fluctuation judgment. The main CPU 30a selects one of the fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 when the normal map is not changing, while it is normally selected when the normal map is changing or when the probability change state and the short-time state. A variation pattern P1 that is not to be selected is selected.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the special figure and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game. Next, the main CPU 30a outputs a stop symbol designation command for the first special figure for instructing the first special figure and a stop symbol designation command for the second special figure instructing the second special figure. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs a symbol stop command instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed. Further, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from each reserved memory number at the start of each symbol variation game, and rewrites each reserved memory number. And main CPU30a controls the display content of each special figure display H0 and H1 with the start of each symbol variation game. That is, the main CPU 30a starts the variation of each special symbol by starting each symbol variation game, and the special symbol (big hit symbol, small bonus symbol, or off of the special symbol determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. Display the symbol).

  In the short-time state, the game ball can easily enter the lower start winning opening 27 by increasing the number of seconds and the number of times the opening / closing blade 26 is opened. Therefore, the first start holding ball, which is the start condition of the first symbol variation game The chance to increase the number of memories increases. Therefore, by performing such control, the first symbol variation game is easily executed continuously in the time-short state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a that executes the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game according to the selected variation pattern corresponds to the game control means. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation pattern P1 for performing the off-line effect corresponds to a specific fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is set to be long.

  When the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 enters a game ball into the operation gate 23 and inputs a detection signal output by the gate sensor SE4 that detects the game ball, the main CPU 30a stores the general-purpose holding memory stored in the RAM 30c. Whether or not the number is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) is determined to determine whether to hold the map. When the determination result of the general-purpose hold determination is affirmative (the number of general-purpose hold storage <4), the main CPU 30a adds 1 to the general-purpose hold storage number (+1) and rewrites the general-purpose hold storage number. In addition, when the main CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination of the common figure hold determination, the main CPU 30a acquires the value of the random number for hit determination for the normal figure from the RAM 30c, and displays the value of the random number for hit determination for the common figure as the normal value. The information is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in association with the reserved storage number. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of stored storages = 4), the main CPU 30a does not rewrite the number of stored general-purpose reserved memories exceeding the upper limit number, and sets the value of the random number for hit determination for the general map. Do not get. In the present embodiment, the RAM 30c that stores the game ball detected by the operation gate 23 as a normal-game start holding ball corresponds to the normal symbol holding storage means.

  Then, the main CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hitting determination for the normal map stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c, compares the value with the determination value for the hitting normal map stored in the ROM 30b, and Whether or not per common figure is determined. In the normal game hit determination, the main CPU 30a compares the low probability common call determination value with the universal hit determination random number value when the gaming state is non-short-time state, and the gaming state is short-time state. Compares the judgment value per common figure for high probability and the random number for hit judgment for common figure.

  When the determination result of the normal figure hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination for the common figure and the determination value for the normal figure match), the main CPU 30a determines the hit per common figure. The main CPU 30a, which has determined the base symbol per game, determines the symbol per base symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the general symbol game executed by the normal symbol display H10. On the other hand, if the determination result of the normal hit determination is negative (the value of the hit determination random number and the normal hit determination value do not match), the main CPU 30a determines a deviation from the normal figure. The main CPU 30a, which has determined the misplacement of the normal figure, determines the deviant figure that is to be confirmed and stopped in the normal figure game executed by the normal symbol display H10.

  And main CPU30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 with the start of a usual game. That is, the main CPU 30a selects one common figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of common figure fluctuation patterns according to the gaming state, starts the fluctuation of the usual figure according to the normal figure fluctuation pattern, and sets a predetermined fluctuation. The usual figure (design per ordinary figure or the off-common figure) determined at the elapse of time is displayed in a fixed stop state. Specifically, the main CPU 30a selects the normal variation pattern F1 associated with “10 (seconds)” as the variation time in the non-short-time state, while as the variation time in the short-time state. The general-purpose fluctuation pattern F2 associated with “5 (seconds)” is selected. Thereby, the fluctuation time of the usual game executed in the short-time state is shortened than the fluctuation time of the usual game executed in the non-time-short state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a serves as a winning lottery means for performing a lottery per base drawing, in which lottery is determined based on whether or not a game ball enters the operating gate 23. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a normal symbol control means for performing a lottery per ordinary figure based on the usual figure starting and holding ball and executing a usual figure game based on the lottery result.

Next, as the control contents executed by the main CPU 30a, the control contents during the big hit game and the small hit game will be described.
The main CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of the big hit game and the small hit game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and outputs an ending command at the end. The opening command instructs the start of the opening, the round command instructs the start of the round game, and the ending command instructs the start of the ending. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal for opening the special winning opening 29 at the start of each round game. The opening signal is output to the large winning opening solenoid SOL2 of the large winning opening door 28, the large winning opening solenoid SOL2 is activated by the opening signal, and the large winning opening door 28 is opened. Further, the main CPU 30a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game, and inputs a detection signal from the count switch SW3 to count the number of game balls entered during the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a provides a closing signal for closing the grand prize winning hole 29 by satisfying one of the end conditions that the round game time has passed and the upper limit number of game balls have entered. Output. The closing signal is output to the large winning opening solenoid SOL2 of the large winning opening door 28, and the large winning opening solenoid SOL2 is operated by the closing signal, and the large winning opening door 28 is closed.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has finished the big hit game and the small hit game, when the number of reserved memories at the time of the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is "1" or more, the next symbol variation based on the start hold ball Start the game. Specifically, when the first reserved memory number is “1” or more, the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed based on the first starting reserved ball, while the first reserved memory number is “0”. In this case, the second symbol variation game is started based on the second start holding ball. Then, when the number of reserved memories at the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is “0”, the main CPU 30a changes the symbol until the start winning condition is satisfied. Wait without running the game.

  In addition, the main CPU 30a that ended each jackpot game gives a probability change state when the determination result is affirmative based on the determination result of the state transition determination whether or not to give a probability change state after the jackpot game ends, When the determination result is negative, the probability variation state is not given. In this embodiment, when the probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game are won, the state transition determination is affirmed. After the big hit game, the main CPU 30a outputs a high-probability designation command and a short-time operation command when the gaming state is changed into a probabilistic state and a short-time state, and outputs only a short-time operation command when the short-time state is set. To do. On the other hand, in the case of the small hit game, the game state at the time of the small hit game is maintained, so the main CPU 30a controls the game state at the time of the small hit game even during the small hit game, and after the small hit game ends, the game Does not output commands that specify status. That is, when the main CPU 30a wins the small hit game, the main CPU 30a does not perform the state transition determination as to whether or not to give the probability variation state. In the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, the main CPU 30a that gives a bonus including a big hit game after the end of each symbol variation game corresponds to the bonus granting means.

Next, the control content at the time of hitting will be described as the control content executed by the main CPU 30a.
The main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal for opening the opening and closing blades 26 and a closing signal for closing the opening and closing blades 26 after the end of the normal game for the normal drawing, and controls the opening mode of the opening and closing blades 26. . The opening signal and the closing signal are output to the ordinary electric actor solenoid SOL1 of the opening / closing blade 26, the ordinary electric actor solenoid SOL1 is activated by the opening signal, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened, and the closing operation is performed. In response to the signal, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 is activated, and the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. And main CPU30a controls the open mode of the opening-and-closing blade 26 according to the game state at the time of hitting a usual figure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the main CPU 30a performs control so that the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once at 0.3 (seconds) in the non-time-short state. Further, the main CPU 30a controls to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 three times in 1.4 (seconds) during the time-short state.

  Further, the main CPU 30a counts the number of game balls that have entered the lower start winning opening 27 while the opening / closing blade 26 is opened. When the counted number of game balls reaches the upper limit number (8 in this embodiment), the main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal at that time to close the opening / closing blade 26, The opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 based on the hit is finished. The main CPU 30a that has finished the opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 based on the usual figure, when the number of the usual figure holding memory at the time of the end is “1” or more, based on the start holding ball, the main figure 30 Let it begin. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a plays the general game until the game ball enters the operation gate 23 and the start condition is satisfied, when the number of the general figure holding memory at the end of the opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 is “0”. Wait without running. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blades 26 based on the display result of the general game, and a universal map result indicating that the lottery per general map is won in the general game is derived. In this case, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened.

Next, the control contents executed by the overall control board 31 (the overall CPU 31a) according to the overall control program will be described.
When the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 receives the change pattern designation command, it outputs the change pattern designation command to the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively. In addition, when the general CPU 31a inputs a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol, the decorative symbol constituting the symbol combination to be stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the special symbol corresponding to the stop symbol designation command. To decide. Specifically, when a stop symbol designation command for the first special symbol is input, a symbol combination is displayed that is displayed on the variable display H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the first special symbol corresponding to the stop symbol designation command. Decide which decoration to do. In addition, when a stop symbol designation command for the second special symbol is input, a decorative diagram constituting a symbol combination to be displayed on the variable display H2 in accordance with the stop symbol designation of the second special symbol corresponding to the stop symbol designation command. To decide. In addition, when a special symbol stop symbol designation command is input, if the big bonus symbol is designated as the special symbol stop symbol designation, the general CPU 31a stores the designated special symbol big bonus symbol in the RAM 31c. To do. Further, when the overall CPU 31a inputs a symbol stop command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively. In addition, when the general CPU 31a inputs an opening command, a round command, and an ending command from the main control board 30, display control is performed for an effect instruction command for instructing a predetermined effect content according to the big hit game and the small hit game that are given. Output to the board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34, respectively.

  When the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the probability variation jackpot as the symbol combination of the decorative symbol. To do. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game, the general CPU 31a can recognize the non-probable variation jackpot as the symbol combination of the decoration diagram. Determine the symbol combination. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation two round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a uses a symbol combination that can recognize a loss as a symbol symbol combination. Among them, a predetermined specific symbol combination (chance) is determined. A specific symbol combination consists of a combination of symbols that do not form a reach. In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a small hit symbol, the general CPU 31a performs a specific symbol combination (chance) in the same manner as in the probability variation two round big hit game. Eye). In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command is a missing symbol excluding the small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the deviation. In the case of an outlier design, when determining a symbol combination that can recognize a discrepancy, the combination may be determined excluding the specific symbol combination, or the combination including the specific symbol combination is determined. May be. Then, the overall CPU 31a that has determined the decoration drawing outputs a stop symbol designating command for decoration drawing designating the decoration drawing to the display control board 32.

Next, the control contents executed by the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a) according to the effect control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 inputs the variation pattern designation command, the variable display H2 is selected so that the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command is selected and the symbol variation game is executed with the effect content. Controls the display content of. At this time, the sub CPU 32a generates display data for displaying an image in accordance with the effect content using the image data in the ROM 32b based on the selected effect content.

  Then, the sub CPU 32a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the variable display H2 based on the measured time and display data for a predetermined control cycle. Switch every time (for example, every 2 ms). Then, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the display contents of the variable display H2 so that the symbol instructed by the stop symbol designation command for decorative drawing is displayed on the variable display H2 in a definite stop display. To end the symbol variation game.

  Further, the sub CPU 32a performs the opening effect, each round effect and the ending effect based on the effect instruction command output by the overall control board 31 when the probability change 15 round jackpot game and the non-probability change 15 round jackpot game are given. Let it run. Specifically, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that each effect is executed with a predetermined effect content when an effect instruction command related to each effect is input. At this time, the sub CPU 32a uses the image data in the ROM 32b to generate display data for displaying an image according to the contents of each effect. Then, the sub CPU 32a switches the image displayed on the variable display H2 based on the generated display data for every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 2 ms).

  Further, the sub CPU 32a causes the opening effect, each round effect, and the ending effect to be executed based on the effect instruction command output by the overall control board 31 when the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game are given. At this time, the sub CPU 32a causes the effect to be executed with the same effect content so that it is not known from the effect content which of the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game is given. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment cannot recognize which is given from the production contents during the probability variation 2 round big hit game and the small hit game in addition to the opening mode of the big winning opening 29. It is like that.

  Next, the execution mode of each symbol variation game in the probability variation state and in the short time state will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B. In FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, for example, “first hold = 1” indicates that the number of held first symbols, that is, the number of held first symbol variation games is one. . Further, “second hold” indicates the second reserved memory number, that is, the second symbol variation game being held. “Temporary map hold” indicates the number of stored general map hold, that is, a pending general game.

  In FIG. 7 (a), each symbol in the case where the memory number of the first start hold ball is “1”, the memory number of the second start hold ball is “2”, and the memory number of the general start hold ball is “0”. The execution mode of a variable game is shown.

  In order to preferentially execute the first symbol variation game as compared with the second symbol variation game, the main CPU 30a first determines the presence or absence of the first start retention ball, and draws a big hit based on the first start retention ball I do. In this example, since the number of stored first start holding balls is “1”, the main CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery based on the start holding balls. Since the main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern corresponding to the result of the big hit lottery, the first symbol variation game based on the variation pattern is given priority even if the number of stored second starting reservation balls is “2”. To run. In addition, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the stored number of the first start holding balls at the start of the first symbol variation game, and sets it to “0”. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the variation time set in the variation pattern, and ends the first symbol variation game when the variation time elapses. After that, the main CPU 30a makes a big hit just before the start of the second symbol variation game after the end of the first symbol variation game after the end of the first symbol variation game because the stored number of the first starting retention ball is “0”. Make a lottery. Subsequently, the main CPU 30a selects a variation pattern corresponding to the result of the big hit lottery, and executes the first second symbol variation game based on the variation pattern. Further, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the stored number of the second start holding balls at the start of the second symbol variation game to be “1”. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the variation time determined in the variation pattern, and ends the first second symbol variation game as the variation time elapses. Also, as shown in this example, during the first variation of the second symbol variation game, a lottery per regular drawing based on the regular diagram start holding ball is not performed, and accordingly, a game ball is placed in the lower start prize opening 27. If the ball is not entered, the main CPU 30a causes the second second symbol variation game to be executed based on the second start hold ball because the stored number of the first start hold ball is “0”. Further, the main CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the stored number of the second start holding balls at the start of the second second symbol variation game, and sets it to “0”. If a game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27 by winning a lottery per game based on a game ball that has entered the operation gate 23 before the end of the first second symbol variation game, The CPU 30a adds 1 to the number stored in the first start-reserved ball and sets it to “1”. Therefore, the first symbol variation game is executed after the end of the first second symbol variation game.

  FIG. 7B shows an execution mode of each symbol variation game when the stored number of the first and second start holding balls is “0” and the stored number of the normal start holding balls is “1”. In FIG. 7 (b), a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 25 during the normal fluctuation, and neither the big hit lottery nor the small hit lottery based on the detected game ball is won. In addition, it is assumed that reach determination is not positively determined.

  The main CPU 30a performs a lottery per base map based on the base map start holding ball, and if the lottery per base map is won, the base map variation pattern F2 (variation time 5 (seconds)) is selected and the base map variation pattern. The usual game is started based on F2. Further, when a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 25, the main CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery immediately before the start of the second symbol variation game based on the detection of the game ball. As described above, when neither the big winning lottery nor the small winning lottery is won, and the reach determination is not affirmatively determined, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal figure is changing. In this example, the fluctuation pattern P1 having a long fluctuation time is selected from the fluctuation patterns for the off-line production due to the fact that the fluctuation is normal, and during the fluctuation time defined in the fluctuation pattern (13 (Second)), the second symbol variation game is executed. Then, the main CPU 30a terminates the ordinary game with the lapse of the variation time set in the ordinary map variation pattern F2, and opens the opening / closing blade 26 three times as a game per ordinary game after the ordinary game ends. In the present embodiment, the opening time of one opening / closing blade 26 is 1.4 (seconds), and the interval time until the next opening is performed is 0.1 (seconds). Then, as shown in this example, when a game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27 during the second opening of the opening / closing blade 26, the main CPU 30a, after the end of the second symbol variation game being executed, A big hit lottery is performed immediately before the start of the first symbol variation game based on the detected first start holding ball, and the first symbol variation game is executed.

In this way, when the big hit lottery based on the second start holding ball is performed during the normal fluctuation, the main CPU 30a selects a specific fluctuation pattern based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery (fluctuation pattern P1). Even when the second symbol variation game is executed according to the variation pattern P1, the variation time of the second symbol variation game is the normal variation time until the third opening of the opening / closing blade 26 is completed. It is set to be long enough to include the total time (time TA). Therefore, if the normal symbol variation and the opening of the opening / closing blade 26 are completed during the variation of the second symbol variation game, the game ball can enter the lower start winning opening 27 during the variation of the second symbol variation game. The continuous execution of the second symbol variation game can be suppressed, and the starting condition of the first symbol variation game can be obtained during the execution of the second symbol variation game.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  (1) The main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern when the first start holding ball is stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 30c while the second start holding ball is stored in the predetermined region of the RAM 30c in the probability changing state and the short time state. In this case, when the normal map is changing, a specific change pattern having a long change time is determined. As a result, the execution of the second symbol variation game is permitted only once, but if the lottery per common symbol is won during the variation of the second symbol variation game, the termination of the usual symbol game is completed. At the same time, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened, and a game ball can enter the lower start winning opening 27. That is, if the game ball can be made to enter the lower start winning opening 27, the first symbol variation game can be executed as soon as the second symbol variation game being executed ends. Therefore, in the promiscuous state and in the short time state, it is possible to increase the number of big hits based on the first start holding ball that can give a large benefit, and more than when winning the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball Also, the occurrence of jackpot based on the second start-up holding ball that can give a privilege with small profit can be reduced.

  (2) As a privilege given by the main CPU 30a, a jackpot game with two rounds and a jackpot game with 15 rounds constituting the jackpot game are set. And, when the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball is won, there is a higher probability that a big hit game with 15 rounds will be awarded, and the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed. In such a configuration, when the second symbol variation game is executed in the probability variation state and the short time state, a variation pattern in which a variation time is set long is determined when the normal symbol variation is being performed. In this way, since the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed during the probability change state and the short time state, the big hit lottery based on the first start holding ball is won and the number of rounds is 15 times. When a big hit game is awarded, a lot of prize balls can be obtained.

  (3) When winning the big hit lottery based on the first starting hold ball, while setting the probability that the short time state will be given when the upper limit number is set high, the big hit lottery based on the second starting hold ball was won In this case, the probability that the short state is given when the upper limit number is set large is set low. By adopting a configuration in which the first symbol variation game is preferentially executed in the probable change state and the short time state, the winning probability of the big hit lottery in which the short time state having a large upper limit number of times is given is increased. In addition, since the frequency | count which receives the big hit lottery based on a start holding ball | bowl can be increased, suppressing the reduction | decrease of a holding ball, so that there are many upper limit times of a time-short state, a player's interest can be heightened.

  (4) The winning probability of the small hitting lottery based on the first starting holding ball is set to be lower than the winning probability of the small hitting lottery based on the second starting holding ball. As a result, it is possible to prevent the digestion efficiency of the first symbol variation game per unit time from being reduced by winning the small hitting lottery.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, when the first symbol variation game is not being executed, and when the second symbol variation game is executed when the first start holding ball is “0”, the main CPU 30a generally executes the reach before the reach determination. It is determined whether the figure is changing. And if it is in the normal fluctuation, it is different from the first embodiment in that the change pattern for the reach reach effect is selected even before the reach determination is executed. Since the second embodiment has a configuration in which the determination order after the small hit determination related to the execution of the second symbol variation game in the first embodiment is changed, a detailed description of similar parts will be given. Omitted.

FIG. 8 shows the flow of control of the detachment process in the second symbol variation game executed by the main CPU 30a in the probability changing state and the time-shortening state.
When the determination result of the big hit determination based on the second start holding ball is negative, the main CPU 30a performs the small hit determination as described above (step S20). When the determination result of the small hit determination in step S20 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the small hit and performs the small hit setting (step S21). The small hit setting in step S21 is the same as the small hit setting in the first embodiment (step S11 in FIG. 6).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S20 is negative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal map is changing (whether or not the normal game is being executed) (step S22). If the determination result of the normal map change determination in step S22 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the shift reach without performing the reach determination, and sets the shift reach (step S23). Note that the outlier reach setting in step S23 is the same as the outlier reach setting in the first embodiment (step S13 in FIG. 6). On the other hand, when the determination result of the normal map change determination in step S22 is negative, the main CPU 30a performs the reach determination as described above (step S24). When the determination result of the reach determination in step S24 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment reach and performs the detachment reach setting (step S23).

  When the determination result of the reach determination in step S24 is negative, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment and performs the detachment setting (step S25). The deviation setting in step S25 is the same as the normal deviation setting in the first embodiment (step S15). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the special figure and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the main CPU 30a does not win either the big winning lottery or the small winning lottery based on the second start holding ball when executing the second symbol variation game, the main CPU 30a precedes the reach determination. It is determined whether or not the normal map is changing. In the case of normal map change, the main CPU 30a determines the detachment reach without performing reach determination, determines the detachment symbol, and changes any one of the change patterns P4 to P6 for the detachment reach effect. A pattern is selected and determined to execute the second symbol variation game. In the present embodiment, the variation patterns P4 to P6 that perform the outlier reach effect, which are selected when the usual variation determination is positive, are specific variation patterns in which the variation time is set to be long.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) to (4) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(5) If neither the big winning lottery or the small winning lottery based on the 2nd starting hold ball is won, the standard fluctuation determination is performed prior to the reach determination, and if the normal figure is changing, it is off The change pattern for reach production was selected. Since the variation pattern selected at this time is a variation pattern for performing reach variation effects, the reach variation effect is originally an effect with a long variation time, so that the player can change the length of the variation time of the second symbol variation game. Therefore, it is possible to acquire an opportunity to execute the first symbol variation game when the game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27 without causing a sense of incongruity. In addition, some players stop firing the game ball and stop the game in order to reduce the consumption of the game ball while the reach variation effect is being executed. On the other hand, even when the reach variation effect is being executed, it is possible to prompt the game ball to be launched into the lower start winning opening 27.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
○ In each embodiment, the upper limit of the short-time state as a privilege given when winning the big hit lottery is not limited to 100 times and 0 times, and the upper limit number of times may be changed as appropriate, such as 100 times and 50 times. Also good.

In each embodiment, the number of rounds constituting the jackpot game is not limited to 15 times and 2 times, and the number of rounds may be changed as appropriate, such as 15 times and 10 times.
In each embodiment, a variable display dedicated to each symbol variation game may be provided.

In each embodiment, the first reserved memory number, the second reserved memory number, and the usual reserved memory number are all stored in the RAM 30c. However, the RAMs may be individually associated with each other.
In each embodiment, the upper start winning port 25 and the lower start winning port 27 may not be arranged in parallel in the flow-down direction, and may be arranged apart from each other. In this case, it is desirable to make it difficult to enter the ball in the normal state by placing nails around the start winning opening where the winning probability of the big hit lottery that gives an advantageous privilege is high.

  In each embodiment, the hit determination random number for the special figure, the hit determination random number for the first special figure, the hit determination random number for the second special figure, and the special figure hit determination for each special figure A random number may be associated.

In each embodiment, the selection probability of each jackpot game may be changed as appropriate.
○ In each embodiment, the benefits given when winning the big hit lottery are the maximum number of short-time states, the number of prize balls, the length of the round game time, the provision of a probable change state, and the probability of winning the lottery lottery It may be low. Moreover, the number of rounds of the big hit game given when winning the big hit lottery based on the first and second starting reserved balls may be the same, and any of the above-mentioned benefits may be given. Moreover, the aspect which a some privilege is provided combining these privileges may be sufficient.

  In each embodiment, a large winning opening may be provided for each starting winning opening, and the number of winning balls and the number of counts given to each large winning opening may be different. In this case, regarding the rounds constituting each jackpot game associated with each start winning opening, it is premised that different large winning openings are not used for the same number of rounds. For example, in the jackpot game corresponding to the upper start winning opening 25, the first big winning opening is opened in the first to seventh rounds, and the second big winning opening is opened in the eighth to fifteenth rounds. On the other hand, in the jackpot game corresponding to the lower start winning opening 27, the second big winning opening is opened in the first to seventh rounds, and the first big winning opening is opened in the eighth to fifteenth rounds. Not performed.

In each embodiment, the lower start winning opening 27 may be configured to allow a game ball to enter even in a normal state.
○ In each embodiment, the second symbol variation game is executed based on a specific variation pattern in which the variation time is set to be long during the normal variation, and again during the variation of the second symbol variation game, the general symbol start is suspended. When the usual game is executed based on the sphere, the main CPU 30a may select the usual fluctuation pattern for which the fluctuation time is set to a short time. By doing so, even if the game ball cannot be entered into the start winning opening 27 during the variation of the second symbol variation game, it is not possible to re-enter the second symbol variation game during the variation of the second symbol variation game. The winning lottery can be received, and the opportunity to start the first symbol variation game is given again. In this case, “changed” corresponds only to the case where the second symbol change game is being executed. By doing so, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the game ball is inserted into the lower start winning opening 27 while the opening / closing blade 26 is open based on the first lottery drawing during the variation of the second symbol variation game. Even if the ball cannot be made, it is possible to receive a lottery per ordinary drawing again during the fluctuation of the second symbol fluctuation game. Then, if the opening / closing blade 26 is opened based on the winning of the second lottery per standard drawing and the game ball can enter the lower start winning opening 27, when the second symbol variation game being executed ends, The first symbol variation game is executed.

  In each embodiment, the variation pattern related to the execution of the second symbol variation game selected during normal variation is a variation time longer than the total time of the regular variation time and the first opening time of the opening / closing blade 26 It is also possible to define

  ○ In each embodiment, the main CPU 30a measures the fluctuation time of the normal figure when selecting a fluctuation pattern related to the execution of the second symbol fluctuation game during the normal figure fluctuation, and the fluctuation is longer than the remaining time of the normal figure fluctuation. You may make it select the fluctuation pattern to which time was set. In this way, the variation time set in the variation pattern related to the execution of the second symbol variation game may be set shorter than the usual variation time.

  In each embodiment, when determining the variation pattern related to the execution of the second symbol variation game, the main CPU 30a selects a specific variation pattern with a long variation time regardless of whether or not the normal variation is in progress. You may do it. By doing in this way, if the lottery per common figure is performed during the second symbol variation, and the game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27 based on the winning of the lottery per the regular symbol, the first symbol variation You will be able to get a chance to run the game. Therefore, not only the second symbol variation game is not continuously executed during the time-shortening state, and the execution opportunities of the first symbol variation game are increased.

  ○ In each embodiment, assuming that a specific variation pattern is selected when selecting a variation pattern related to the execution of the second symbol variation game in the probability variation state and in the short-time state, the second symbol variation in the normal state is further assumed. A specific variation pattern may be selected when selecting a variation pattern related to game execution.

  In each embodiment, regarding the variation patterns for the big hit effect, the small hit effect, and the outreach reach effect, a variation pattern with a short variation time and a variation pattern with a long variation time are set. May be set. Then, when the second symbol variation game is executed during the variation of the normal game, a variation pattern having a long variation time may be selected according to the result of the big hit lottery.

Each embodiment is embodied in the pachinko machine 10 using a special drawing and a decorative drawing, but may be embodied in a pachinko machine using only a special drawing.
