Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a plurality of winning detection means.

  Conventionally, a pachinko machine which is a kind of gaming machine is provided with a variable display of a liquid crystal display type, for example, and a symbol combination game that displays a combination of symbols by changing a plurality of types of symbols on the variable display (symbol changing game) Has been done. Then, the player can recognize a big hit or a loss from the symbol combination derived in the symbol combination game and finally displayed to be confirmed and stopped. Some of these pachinko machines are equipped with a function of providing an advantageous game state (privilege) different from the jackpot game after the jackpot game ends. As such a function, for example, a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function is known. The probability change function is a function that gives a player a probability change state (high probability state) in which the winning probability (lottery probability) of the big hit varies from a normal probability that is a low probability to a high probability after the big hit game ends.

  In such a gaming machine, there is a game in which a plurality of start winning holes are provided in the game area of the game board, and when a game ball wins a prize in these starting winning holes, a symbol variation game is played on one display device. (Patent Document 1).

In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, a start hold storage unit that stores the number of start hold balls for each start winning opening is provided. Then, when the display device starts the symbol variation game, when the number of start hold balls is stored in the plurality of start hold storage units, the number of start hold balls stored in the predetermined start hold storage unit is set. The symbol variation game based on it is preferentially executed. In other words, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 has a priority set in each start-up storage unit, and since the opening and closing blades are provided, the second prize that can be won only when the certain variation state is given. The symbol variation game based on the game ball won in the start winning opening is preferentially executed. For this reason, the symbol variation game when a game ball is won at the second start winning opening has a higher probability of being a big hit than when the game ball is won at the first start winning opening that can be always won. ing. In addition, when the symbol variation game based on winning in the first start winning opening is a big hit, the maximum number of round games of the jackpot game is 15 times, while the symbol varying game based on winning in the second starting winning opening When it is a big hit at, the maximum number of round games of the big hit game is 10 times.
JP 2005-304932 A

  By the way, some recent pachinko machines are configured to be able to execute a small hit game in which a big winning opening is opened for a short time. In this small hit game, the number of times of opening the big prize opening is set to two, and it is impossible to visually distinguish it from the probable big hit with the maximum number of round games of two rounds. As a result, when a small hit game is performed or when two probable big hits are performed, the player cannot determine which has been performed based on the open state of the big winning opening. For this reason, it is possible to execute a special concealment effect by concealing the player whether or not the probability variation state has been given after the end of the big hit game (or the small hit game).

  However, since it is determined whether or not this small hit game is executed with a small hit determination different from the big hit determination, and it is desired to execute a lot of concealment effects, it is generally higher than the probability of a big hit. Yes. For this reason, regardless of the distinction between the first starting prize opening and the second starting prize opening, if the same probability is a small hit, the game ball won in the second starting prize opening advantageous to the player, There may be a small hit game that is not advantageous to the player. In this case, when winning at the second start winning opening, the meaning of preferentially determining the jackpot determination is lost, and there is a possibility that the interest of the player is lowered.

  In addition, if the maximum number of round games for a big hit game is 10 when a big hit is made in the symbol variation game based on the winning at the second starting winning opening, the maximum number of round games will be given if a probable big hit is continuously generated. There is a high possibility that the big hit game is continuous (that is, the number of game balls that can be acquired during the big hit game is small). Then, although the player has become a big hit game in which probability variation is continuously given, there is a possibility that the player will be dissatisfied with the number of game balls to be acquired and the willingness to play will be reduced.

  Moreover, if the ratio of the probable big hits is increased in order to prevent such a situation, it may be disadvantageous to the game store. That is, there are cases where the probabilistic big hits continue and the number of game balls that must be paid out increases. Therefore, in such a gaming machine, there is a speculation on the part of the player who wants to acquire a large number of game balls and a speculation on the part of the player who wants to reduce the number of game balls acquired, making it difficult to balance them. It was.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing consecutive hit games of game contents that are not advantageous to the player from being played in the winning game without changing the rate at which the special gaming state is given. .

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 includes display means for executing a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of types of symbols, and the winning display result is displayed in the symbol variation game. In such a case, in a gaming machine in which a game is played when the special winning opening is opened a predetermined number of times, regardless of the gaming state, the game ball always wins with the same probability, and the first winning detection means for detecting the winning of the game ball When a short time state advantageous to a player other than the winning game is given after the winning game is finished, the game ball wins with a higher probability than the normal state, and the second game ball is detected for winning. A winning detection means, a random number acquisition means for acquiring a value of a random number for determination upon detection of a winning of a game ball by the first winning detection means or the second winning detection means, and the first winning detection means is a game ball When winning is detected A first holding storage unit that stores a winning determination random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit when the winning is detected as a first start holding ball, and a win when the second winning detection unit detects a winning game ball. A second on-hold storage means for storing the hit determination random number acquired by the random number acquisition means at the time of detection as a second starting hold ball; and a hit determination random number acquired by the random number acquisition means at the start of the symbol variation game comparing the jackpot determining values predetermined value, and the jackpot determination means for determining whether or not the jackpot, when the judgment result is affirmative the jackpot determination unit, after the end of the per game, the jackpot determination means when the special game state grant determining means for determining whether to assign a probability variation state of varying the probability affirmative determine the low probability high probability, the determination result of the jackpot determination means is negative, symbol variation gate A small hit determination means that compares the value of the random number for hit determination acquired by the random number acquisition means with a predetermined small hit determination value at the start of Based on the determination result of the small hit determination means, a variation pattern determining means for determining a variation pattern for specifying the effect content and effect time of the symbol variation game, and a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination means Display control means to be executed, and, if the determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative, a jackpot game determination means for determining the game content of the winning game, the special game state grant determination means, When the determination result of the big hit determination means is affirmative, it is determined whether or not to give a short time state after the winning game is finished, and the big hit determination means includes the first hold storage means and When the second holding storage means stores the start holding ball together, the jackpot determination is preferentially executed based on the hit determination random number stored as the second start holding ball, The big hit game determining means determines that the determination result of the big hit determination means is affirmative based on the random number for hit determination stored as the second start holding ball, and the special gaming state giving determination means gives the probability variation state The determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative based on the hit determination random number stored as the first start holding ball, and is higher than the case where the special gaming state provision determination means determines that the probability variation state is to be imparted. while the opening time of the special winning hole to determine long per game chance, the jackpot determination means based on the hit judging random number that is stored as the second start-up hold ball When the fixed result is affirmative and it is determined that the special gaming state provision determination unit imparts a probable variation state, the determination result of the big hit determination unit is affirmative based on the hit determination random number stored as the first start holding ball. In addition, the special game state grant determining means determines a winning game with the lowest probability that the opening time of the special winning opening is the shortest compared to the case where it is determined that the probability variation state is to be given, The special winning opening is opened in the same opening manner as the winning game with the shortest opening time, and the small hit determination means is based on a hit determination random number stored as the first start holding ball. Compared with the case where the determination is made, the probability of making an affirmative determination is lower when the determination is made based on the hit determination random number stored as the second start holding ball. It is the gist of.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent consecutive hit games having game contents that are not advantageous to the player from being played in the winning game without changing the rate at which the special gaming state is given.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko machine”) which is a kind of gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the front side of the pachinko machine 10 is schematically shown, and a vertical rectangular middle frame 12 for setting various game components is opened and closed on the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body. And is detachably assembled. On the front side of the middle frame 12, a front frame 14 having a glass frame on which a protective glass for protecting the game board 13 disposed inside the machine is mounted and an upper ball tray 15 are opened and closed in a laterally open state. It is assembled as possible. On the front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13 a of the game board 13, a decoration lamp 16 that performs a light emission effect by light emission (lighting (flashing)) of a light emitter (LED, lamp, etc.) is provided. A speaker 17 that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect based on the sound output is arranged below the outer frame 11. A lower ball tray 18 and a launching device 19 are attached to the lower part of the middle frame 12. Then, when the player operates the launching device 19 to drive the launching device 19, the game ball in the upper ball tray 15 is launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13.

  In the approximate center of the game area 13a of the game board 13, a first special figure display H0 as a 7 segment type display means, a second special figure display H1 as a 7 segment type display means, and a liquid crystal display type A center accessory 20 having a variable display H2 as a display means is provided. As shown in FIG. 2, the first special figure indicator H <b> 0 is provided in the lower right part of the center accessory 20, and the second special figure indicator H <b> 1 is provided in the lower left part of the center accessory 20. The variable display H2 is provided at the center of the center accessory 20. In the first special symbol display device H0 and the second special graphic display device H1, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 changes a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in a single column. Is displayed. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, the symbol variation game performed on the first special symbol display device H0 is referred to as “first variation game”, and the symbol variation game performed on the second special symbol display device H1 is referred to as “second variation game”. There is. On the other hand, in the display effect related to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display a decorative drawing for each column. This decorative drawing is a design for production used for diversifying display production.

  Then, on the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1, the variation display of the symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special diagram is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed as a fixed stop. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special diagram and the decoration drawing are confirmed and stopped at the same time. ). Similarly, in the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special symbol and the decoration drawing are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop state. ) On the other hand, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 do not play the symbol variation game in parallel. That is, only one of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 include one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery out of a plurality of special figures (110 kinds in the present embodiment). A figure is selected, and the selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state when the symbol variation game ends. The 110 types of special symbols are classified into 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and 10 types of losing symbols that can recognize a hit. Furthermore, the 10 types of lost symbols are won in the small hit lottery performed when the big hit lottery is not won, the five types of small hit lottery symbols selected when the small hit game is performed, and the small hit lottery If it is not won, it is classified into 5 types of outliers. Note that the big hit game and the small hit game of the present embodiment will be described in detail later. Further, in the following description, when simply indicated as a missing symbol, it means a missing symbol excluding the small hit symbol.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Numbers of types are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 has a larger display area than the first special figure display H0 and the special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is much larger than the special figure. It is displayed. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. When a predetermined symbol combination ([456] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is given. A symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game becomes a chance symbol combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the variable display H2 is configured such that the decorative drawing is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol variation game is started. When the symbol variation game is started (when the decorations in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The decorative drawings are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are the same type and are stopped and displayed, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first stops the decorative drawing becomes the first stop display column, and the right column that stops the decorative drawing next is the first column. The second stop display column is the third stop display column.

  The variable display H2 displays symbol combinations according to the display results of the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. More specifically, a special combination displayed on the first special graphic display H0 or the second special graphic display H1 and a combination of symbols displayed on the variable display H2 are associated with each other. When the process is completed, the symbol combination of the special figure and the decorative drawing is displayed correspondingly in a fixed stop state. For example, when the big hit symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 in a definite stop display, the variable big indicator H2 also has a big hit symbol such as [222] or [444] in principle. The combination is displayed with a fixed stop. In addition, when a shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, a combination of symbols such as [121] and [345] is determined also on the variable display H2. The stop is displayed. When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, the symbol combination of [456] chance is confirmed and stopped on the variable display H2. It is like that. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes. As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effects related to the first and second variable games (the symbol variable game in which the three symbol combinations are displayed in a variable manner to display a combination of symbols). Is to be done.

  A 7-segment type normal symbol display H10 is disposed at the left end of the game board 13 (left side of the center accessory 20). The normal symbol display H10 has a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter, “ The symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general-purpose game”) using ordinary symbols for deriving general-purpose figures by changing the “standard-character” is performed. 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”.

  The player can recognize winning or losing from the symbol combination (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “1”, the winning can be recognized. An ordinary map that can recognize this hit becomes a hit display result. When the winning display result is displayed, the player is given a gaming state per usual figure. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a first start winning opening 25 as a first winning detecting means having a first starting entrance 25a through which a game ball can always enter is provided below the center accessory 20 as shown in FIG. It is arranged. A first start port sensor SE1 (shown in FIG. 3) that detects a game ball that has entered is provided behind the first start winning port 25. The first start winning opening 25 can give a start condition for the first variable game when a game ball enters. Also, below the first start winning opening 25 is an opening / closing operation that opens and closes by the operation of a second starting entrance 27a through which a game ball can enter and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 (shown in FIG. 3). A second start winning opening 27 is provided as a second winning detecting means provided with an opening / closing blade (ordinary electric accessory) 26 as a member. In FIG. 2, the open / close blade 26 opened is indicated by a solid line, and the open / close blade 26 closed is indicated by a two-dot broken line. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the opening / closing blade 26 is an opening / closing member.

  A second start port sensor SE2 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is provided behind the second start winning port 27. The second start winning opening 27 can give a start condition for the second variable game when the game ball enters. The second starting entrance 27a of the second starting winning opening 27 is always closed with the opening / closing blade 26 closed. In a state in which the second starting entrance 27a is closed, the second starting winning opening 27 is in a state in which entering is not possible (a state in which entering is restricted). Then, when the predetermined opening condition is established, the second starting entrance 27a is operated from the closed state to the open state by opening and closing the blades 26, so that the opening time is predetermined once or a plurality of times. Opened. In a state where the second starting entrance 27a is open, the second starting winning opening 27 is in a state where it is possible to enter (a state where entry is permitted). The first start winning opening 25 and the second start winning opening 27 are juxtaposed along the flow direction (vertical direction) of the game ball launched into the game area 13a of the game board 13, and the game board of this embodiment. 13 is provided with a plurality of start condition devices (winning detection means) that can give start conditions.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a big prize opening device provided with a big prize opening door 28 that opens and closes by the operation of a big prize opening solenoid SOL1 (shown in FIG. 3) below the second start winning prize opening 27. 29 (special prize opening) is arranged. Behind the big prize opening device 29 is provided a count switch SE3 for detecting a game ball that has entered. When a big hit game or a small hit game is generated, the big prize opening device 29 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 28 so that a game ball can be entered. Can get a chance to win.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a first holding indicator R is disposed on the right side of the first special figure indicator H0 in the center accessory 20. The first hold indicator R enters the first start winning opening 25 and becomes the start hold ball and is stored as the start hold ball (RAM 30c) and stored in the start hold ball (hereinafter referred to as “first start hold memory number”). The number of times of the first variable game being held is informed by the display content of the first hold indicator R.

  The first start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the first start winning opening 25, and is decremented by 1 (-1) when the first variable game is started. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening 25 during the first variable game (or the second variable game), the first start reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number (book In the embodiment, it is accumulated up to 4). The first hold indicator R is composed of a plurality of (four) light emitting means including a hold 1 lamp R1, a hold 2 lamp R2, a hold 3 lamp R3, and a hold 4 lamp R4. For example, when only the hold 1 lamp R1 is lit, it is notified that one first variable game is on hold.

  Further, 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 center accessory 20. The second hold indicator L enters the second start winning award 27 and becomes the start hold ball and is stored as the start hold ball (RAM 30c) and stored in the start hold ball (hereinafter referred to as “second start hold memory number”). The number of times of the second variable game being held is notified by the display content of the second hold display L. The second start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the second start winning opening 27, and is decremented by 1 (-1) when the second variable game is started. When a game ball enters the second start winning opening 27 during the second variable game (or the first variable game), the second start reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number (book In the embodiment, it is accumulated up to 4). The second hold indicator L is composed of a plurality (four) of light emitting means including a hold 1 lamp L1, a hold 2 lamp L2, a hold 3 lamp L3, and a hold 4 lamp L4. For example, when the hold 1 lamp L1 and the hold 2 lamp L2 are lit, it is informed that two second variation games are on hold.

  An operation gate 23 is disposed on the left side of the center accessory 20. Behind the operation gate 23, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a winning (passing) game ball is provided. The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game when the winning of the game ball is detected (pass detection). In the present embodiment, a game ball detecting means is constituted by the operation gate 23 and the gate sensor SE4. The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the second start winning opening 27 is in an open state (whether a game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening 27). The second start winning opening 27 is always in a closed state in which the entrance is closed by the opening and closing blades 26, and in this closed state, a game ball cannot be won. On the other hand, when the second start winning opening 27 is given a game state per normal figure, the second start winning opening 27 is opened by opening the opening / closing blade 26, and the game ball can be won. it can. That is, when a game state is given per game, a game ball can be won at the second start winning port 27 by opening the opening and closing blades 26, so that it becomes easier to win a game ball at the second start winning port 27. The player can obtain a chance to easily acquire the starting condition and the prize ball of the second variable game. It should be noted that game balls can always be awarded to the first start winning opening 25 under the same conditions.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function that gives a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1200 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (30/1200 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of games is reached. In the present embodiment, since the predetermined number of times is set to 10,000, the probability variation state is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the variation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the probability of hitting the ordinary game is higher than the normal probability There is a case where the improved entrance rate changing state is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes in an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the usual game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and 1400 ms (long time compared to the normal state) is released after opening in one opening. The open state is maintained until the time has elapsed. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set to operate more advantageously for the player than when the normal state is applied when the entrance rate improvement state is applied.

  Even before a specified time elapses after opening, when a specified number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) enter, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. Similarly, the opening and closing blades 26 are closed when a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) enter even if they are not opened a predetermined number of times. Also, whether or not the entrance rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of probability variation symbol and the game state in which the symbol variation game serving as the probability variation big hit is played.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-shortening function that gives a state of varying time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “short-time”) as a special game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the entrance rate improvement state, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game, as described above.

  In other words, when the normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation game is won in the improved entrance rate, the opening and closing blades 26 are opened three times and 1400 ms after opening in one opening (a longer time compared to the normal state). ) Is kept open until the time elapses. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is applied than when the normal state is applied. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail based on FIG. 4 and FIG.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (and the big hit symbol combination) is stopped and displayed on the respective displays H0 to H2 in the symbol variation game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined number of rounds as the upper limit (15 rounds or two rounds in this embodiment). . One round game is from when the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened to when it is closed. It is released until a predetermined number of game balls are won or until a specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  And in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from the four types of big hit games shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become so. Of the four types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined in accordance with the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the 100 special symbol jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are classified into four groups of symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, and symbol D as shown in FIG. Is done. In the symbol A, 25 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are distributed. Similarly, five types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are distributed to the symbol B. In the symbol C, 30 types of big hit symbols among the big hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H0 are distributed. Among the big hit symbols displayed on the first special figure display H0, 40 types of big hit symbols are distributed to the symbol D. Also, in the symbol E shown in FIG. 4, five types of special symbols (small hit symbols) corresponding to the small hit game are distributed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the 100 special symbol jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1 are four groups of symbol a, symbol b, symbol c, and symbol d as shown in FIG. are categorized. In the symbol a, 40 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1 are distributed. Similarly, 10 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1 are distributed to the symbol b. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1, ten types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol c. Among the big hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H1, 40 types of big hit symbols are assigned to the symbol d. Further, in the symbol E shown in FIG. 5, five kinds of special symbols (small hit symbols) corresponding to the small hit game are assigned.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol A is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol a is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a 15 round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a certain probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, it is given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol A is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol a is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game”. In a normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the normal probability variation 15 round big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the normal probability change 15 round jackpot game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends and the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the probability change state. Yes. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the case where the entering rate improvement state is given from the time when the probability variation state is given until the end of the 10,000 symbol variation game is described as “no limit”.

  Also, in the normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the opening time is “10 (seconds)”, the round game time (specified time) of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “10 (seconds). ) ”Is set. Each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls enter. For this reason, in the normal probability variable 15 round jackpot game, “25 (seconds)” which is the round game time of one round game is the maximum time. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) in the normal probability variation 15 round big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol B is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol b is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. The specified number of rounds is set to “15”. The jackpot game is a 15-round jackpot game in which a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends, and the opening mode of the jackpot device 29 in the first round game is different from the opening mode of the normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game. is there. Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol B is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol b is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “special probability change 15 round jackpot game”. In the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, in the first round game, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened a plurality of times (three times in the present embodiment) and the round game from the second round. Is set to open the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 "once". In addition, in the special probability change 15 round jackpot game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends and the entrance rate improvement state is given until the end of the probability change state. Yes.

  Also, in the special probability variation 15 round big hit game, “0.004 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “10 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. Then, in the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the opening time of the first opening and the second opening is “0.6 (seconds)” as the opening mode of the first winning opening device 29 (the winning winning door 28). In addition, the opening time for the third opening is set to “23.8 (seconds)”. Also, “2.0 (seconds)” as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening, and “2.9 (seconds)” as the interval time between the second opening and the third opening, Each is set. As a result, the round game time of the first round of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game is “0.6 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.6 (seconds) +2.9 (seconds) +23.8 (seconds) "29.9 (seconds)".

  On the other hand, in the 2nd to 15th rounds in the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the number of times the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened is set to “1”, and the round game time is “ 25 (seconds) "is set. The round game time (25 (seconds)) of the second to fifteenth rounds is the total opening time (0.6 (seconds) +0.6 (seconds) +23.8 ( Second) = 25 (seconds)). The round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may be ended when a maximum number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the interval time between each round in the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  A jackpot game awarded when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol C is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol c is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol C is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol c is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “probability 2 round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 2-round jackpot game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the probabilistic two-round big hit game, each of the round games is set to open the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) “one time”. Also, in the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state are given after the jackpot game ends, or only the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. There is a case. Specifically, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state and the increased entry rate state are given after the big hit game is finished. In addition, if the winning rate improvement state is given even if the probability change state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability changing state and the entering rate improvement state are given after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, if the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state are not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is provided after the end of the big hit game, but the entrance rate improvement state is not provided.

  In addition, in the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the opening time is “0.004 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “0.6 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “0.9 ( Sec) ”is set. In other words, the opening time and round game time in the probability variation 2 round jackpot game are the opening time of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, and the first and second grand prize opening devices 29 in the first round (the grand prize opening door 28). Is set to the same time as the opening time. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the interval time between rounds in the probability variation 2-round jackpot game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. As a result, in the probabilistic two-round big hit game, the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened in the first round until the big winning opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed in the second round. The time (“3.2 (seconds)”) is the same time as the time until the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 finishes the second opening in the first round of the special probability variation 15 round big hit game. Is done.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. However, the round game time (0.6 (seconds)) of the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game is that the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game is equal to the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in each round game of probability variation 2 round jackpot game, within 9 hours of round game time (0.6 (seconds)), to launch and enter the game ball of “9 balls” that is the upper limit number of balls to enter It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol D is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol d is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability change state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a non-probability change state is given). Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol D is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol d is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “normally uncertain 15 round jackpot game”. Further, in the normal non-probability 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Also, in the 15 round games in the normal non-probability 15 round jackpot game, the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to be opened “one time” at each round game. In addition, in the normal non-probability 15 round jackpot game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable state is not given after the big hit game ends and the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) is the upper limit. The short time state is given as the number of times.

  In addition, in the normally non-probable 15 round jackpot game, the opening time is “10 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “10 (seconds)”. Each is set. In other words, the normal probability change 15 round jackpot game and the normal non-probability change 15 round jackpot game differ in whether or not the probability change state is given after the big hit game ends. The ending time is set in the same manner. Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the interval time between each round in the normal non-probability variable 15 round big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  It is given when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol E is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol e is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. In the small hit game, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number (count number) of balls for one round game is set to “9”. Further, in one round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability change state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit game, and the short time state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery. For example, even after the small hit game ends, the time-short state is continuously given. In addition, in the small hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the improved winning rate is continuously given after the small hit game ends. In addition, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

  In addition, in the small hit game, “0 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “0.9 (second)” is set as the ending time. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.6 (seconds)” as the opening mode of the large winning opening device 29 (large winning opening door 28) of the round game in the small hit game. At the same time, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening. Thereby, the round game time of one round game in the small hit game is set to “3.2 (seconds)” composed of “0.6 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.6 (seconds)”. Will be. For this reason, the round game time of the small hit game is the second round after the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened in the first round of the probability variation two round big hit game. It is the same time as closing time. Further, the round game time of the small hit game is the same as the time until the big prize opening device 29 finishes the second opening in the first round of the special probability variation 15 round big hit game.

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, in the round game time (3.2 (seconds)) of the small hit game, the number of game balls that enter the big prize opening device 29 in one round game does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. It is set to such a time. In other words, in a round game of small hit games, it is substantially possible to launch and enter “9 balls”, which is the maximum number of balls entered, within the round game time (3.2 (seconds)). It is impossible.

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 the 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. In the present embodiment, the main control board 30 is the main control means. The overall control board 31, the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 serve as sub-control means. Further, the display control board 32 serves as an effect control means. Further, the overall control board 31 serves as an overall control means.

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. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, a count switch SE3, and the like are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a first special figure display H0, a second special figure display H1, a first hold indicator R, and a second hold indicator L. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 30b. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to fluctuate (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production. In other words, the variation pattern can specify the effect content and the effect time (the change time) of the symbol change game from when the special figure starts to change until the special figure is confirmed and stopped.

  The variation patterns are the variation pattern for the big hit effect selected when winning the big hit lottery, the variation pattern for the big hit effect (specific variation pattern) selected when winning the small hit lottery, the big hit lottery and It consists of a variation pattern for a loss effect that is selected in the case of a loss that has not won any of the small lotteries. The variation pattern for the offending production forms a reach, and after the reach production is performed, the fluctuation pattern for the offending reach production that is finally a deviation, and the fluctuation for the offending production that is a deviation without forming the reach. There is a pattern.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern for the jackpot effect includes a normal variation pattern selected when a normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game and a normal non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game are determined, a special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, and a probability variation 2. There is a specific variation pattern that is selected when a round jackpot game is determined. The specific variation pattern selected when the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, and the small hit game are determined executes a common effect in the symbol variation game and has the same variation time. Are associated patterns.

  Note that the jackpot effect performed based on the normal variation pattern is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect and finally the symbol combination of the jackpot. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol change game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. .

Hereinafter, each variation pattern will be described in detail.
When the first variation game is played based on the normal variation pattern for the big hit effect, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 are the final combination of the big hit symbol and the big hit symbol that can recognize the big hit respectively. Is displayed. In addition, when the second variation game is performed based on the normal variation pattern for the big hit effect, the big special symbol display unit H1 and the variable display unit H2 can recognize the big hit symbol that can recognize the big hit by the probability variation symbol, respectively. The jackpot symbol combination is finally displayed.

  When the first variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern selected when the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game are determined, the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2 are displayed. In FIG. 6, the symbol combination of the big hit symbol and the chance is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern selected when the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game are determined, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display In H2, the symbol combination of the big hit symbol and the chance is finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern selected when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is determined, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the chance of the chance by the decoration diagram is displayed. At the same time as the symbol combination is displayed, a big hit symbol based on the special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0.

  Further, when the first variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern selected when the small hit game is determined, the first special symbol display H0 and the variable display H2 respectively have a small hit symbol and a chance. The symbol combination is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the specific variation pattern selected when the small hit game is determined, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 respectively have small hit symbols and The symbol combination of chance is finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern selected when the small hit game is determined, after the reach effect is performed with the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the chance by the decorative drawing At the same time, the small special symbol according to the special figure is displayed on the first special figure display H0.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach production, the first symbol display unit H0 and the variable display unit H2 each finally display the symbol combination and the symbol combination of the deviation. It has become so. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach production, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 each finally display a deviation symbol and a symbol combination of deviation. It has come to be. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect, after the reach effect is performed by the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the outliers by the decorative drawing is displayed, In the 1 special figure display H0, the off symbol by the special figure is displayed.

  Then, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the offending effect, after the normal variation on the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, the combination of the out symbol and the out symbol combination is final. Is displayed. When the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the off-stage production, the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2 are finally displayed after the normal variation, respectively, after the normal variation. It is a pattern to be. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern for the offending effect, after the symbol variation game is started, the normal variation is performed, and the symbol combination of the deviation by the decorative drawing is displayed on the variable display H2, In the first special figure display H0, the off symbol according to the special figure is displayed.

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination (all 1200 integers from 0 to 1199). Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (30 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be larger than the number (four in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for winning determination is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games. That is, the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the same as the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27 belongs to. The jackpot determination value is also commonly used in the first and second variable games. That is, the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination value based on the first special figure start reserved memory number is the same as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination based on the second special figure start hold memory number.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the small hit is, and is determined from numerical values (all 1200 integers from 0 to 1199) that the random number for hit determination can take. Note that the small hit determination value is the first variation game and the second variation game (by the value of the special symbol variation processing flag indicating which of the first variation game and the second variation game is performed). The number is different. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values when the first variable game is played (six in this embodiment) is the number of small hit determination values when the second variable game is played (this execution) More than two) in the form. Note that the random number for hit determination is used as it is in the big hit determination.

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. In each special figure, this special figure distribution random number is distributed by a predetermined number (one in this embodiment), and the main CPU 30a acquires it when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the special distribution random number. The special CPU distribution random number is set so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical value range (in the present embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) at predetermined intervals. The value is updated by adding 1 to the value (every 4 ms). Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated values in the RAM 30c as special figure distribution random number values, and sequentially updates the special figure distribution random number values by rewriting the already stored special figure distribution random number values. It is supposed to be. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random number is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27. Commonly used in two fluctuation games. That is, the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27. Is the same.

  The jackpot symbol determined depending on which symbol variation game of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed is one of the symbols A to D (in the case of the second variation game, the symbols a to d It is different in which group) Specifically, [0] indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag indicating that either the first variation game or the second variation game is to be executed. If it is, it is classified into any group of symbols A to D. For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the first variation game, a symbol classified as symbol A as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 25/100, and a symbol classified as symbol B is displayed with a probability of 5/100. Symbols classified as symbol C are displayed with a probability of 30/100, and symbols classified as symbol D are displayed with a probability of 40/100.

  Further, when [1] indicating that the second variation game is performed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the special symbol variation processing flag is classified into any one of the symbols a to d. For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the second variable game, symbols classified as symbol a as a jackpot symbol are displayed with a probability of 40/100, and symbols classified as symbol b are displayed with a probability of 10/100. The symbol classified as symbol c is displayed with a probability of 10/100, and the symbol classified as symbol d is displayed with a probability of 40/100. On the other hand, at the time of determining the small hit (when the big hit determination is negative and the small hit determination is affirmative), a symbol is determined from among the five types of small hit symbols, and when the loss is determined (at the big hit determination and When the small hit determination is negative), the symbol is determined from among the five types of missed symbols. The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random values) that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

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. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The overall CPU 31a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the general CPU 31a inputs various control commands, the general CPU 31a executes various controls based on the general control program.

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. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. A variable display H2 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). The ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the variable display H2. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. When the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S2). If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a proceeds to step 5.

  If the determination result in step S2 is affirmative (first special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the first special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (1), and the first special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S3). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination and the value of the special figure distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the predetermined memory of the RAM 30c associated with the first special figure start pending storage number. An area is set (step S4).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 27 (step S5). That is, in step S5, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start port sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. When the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S6). If the determination result of step S6 is negative (second special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of step S6 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the second special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (one addition), and the second special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S7). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and obtains the value of the random number for hit determination and the value of the special figure distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the predetermined memory of the RAM 30c associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number. An area is set (step S8). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol (special drawing and decoration drawing) is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not a big hit game is being played (step S11). When the determination result of step S11 is affirmative (when the symbol variation game is being played or when the jackpot game is being played), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S11 is negative (when the symbol variation game is not being played and the big hit game is not being played), the main CPU 30a reads the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S12) and starts the second special figure start. It is determined whether or not the number of reserved memories is greater than “0” (step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure start hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the first special figure start hold memory number (step S14), and the first special figure start hold memory is stored. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative (when the first special figure start pending storage number = 0), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect has already been output (step S15). S16). If this determination result is negative (when no demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a outputs a demonstration designation command (step S17). Then, the special symbol start process ends. If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (if a demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative (if the first special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a sets the first symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c to the first variation. A value [0] indicating that the game is to be executed is set (step S18). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the first special figure start hold memory number (-1) (step S19), and is associated with the first special figure start hold memory number for a predetermined amount in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number and special figure distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S20).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the main CPU 30 a determines whether or not the acquired hit determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30 b and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination becomes affirmative (the probability of jackpot) is 4/1200. The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 30/1200.

  If the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (step S22). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from the big hit symbols based on the special diagram based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number value (step S23). .

  The special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H0 is classified as one of the symbols A to D, and the main CPU 30a is classified as one of the symbols A to D. To decide. At this time, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines in step S23 based on the distribution of the special symbol distribution random numbers of each special diagram in the first variation game. A symbol classified as symbol A as a jackpot symbol is determined with a probability of 25/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol B with a probability of 5/100 and is classified as symbol C in step S23. The symbols to be classified as symbol D are determined with a probability of 40/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S24). Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines that the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol A or symbol D (that is, when a normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game or a normal non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game is determined). Determines the normal variation pattern for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol B or symbol C (that is, when the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game or the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is determined), the main CPU 30a is used for the jackpot effect. Determine a specific variation pattern.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes relating to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S25). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special figure display H0 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the first special symbol display H0 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S21 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed (step S26). In the present embodiment, the small hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the game is the first variation game (whether or not [0] is set in the special symbol variation processing flag). Yes. Specifically, in the case of the first variation game, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 6/1200, and the small hit determination in the case of the second variable game Is higher than the probability (in this embodiment, 2/1200) that the determination result is positive.

  When the determination result of step S26 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S27). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the small hit symbols (symbol E) based on the special symbol (step S28). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a specific variation pattern for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S29). After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S25 and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing as described above. The various processes related to the changing game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the display device H0 are controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S26 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a displays a fixed stop display on the first special figure display H0 from among the symbols that are not the small hit symbols. A final stop symbol is determined (step S30). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect and the variation pattern for the outlier effect (step S31). Then, the main CPU 30a having determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a changes the special symbol variation stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c as shown in FIG. A value [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the processing flag (step S32). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the second special figure start hold memory number (-1) (step S33), and is associated with the second special figure start hold memory number for a predetermined amount in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S34).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery) (step S35). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination becomes affirmative (the probability of jackpot) is 4/1200. The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 30/1200.

  When the determination result of step S35 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit variation (step S36). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from among the big hit symbols based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S37). .

  The jackpot symbol of the special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display H1 is classified as one of symbols a to d, and the main CPU 30a is classified as one of symbols a to d. To decide. At this time, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [1], the main CPU 30a determines in step S37 based on the distribution of the special symbol distribution random numbers of each special diagram in the second variation game. A symbol classified as symbol a as a jackpot symbol is determined with a probability of 40/100. Similarly, since [1] is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol b with a probability of 10/100 in step S37, and is classified as symbol c. The symbol that is classified as symbol D is determined with a probability of 40/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a specifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the specified jackpot game (step S38). Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines that the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol a or symbol d (that is, when a normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game or a normal non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game is determined). Determines the normal variation pattern for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol b or symbol c (that is, when the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game or probability variation 2 round jackpot game is determined), the main CPU 30a is used for the jackpot effect. Determine a specific variation pattern.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the second variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S39). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S35 is negative (not a big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed (step S40). In the present embodiment, the small hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the game is the first variation game (whether or not [0] is set in the special symbol variation processing flag). Yes. Specifically, in the case of the second variation game (when the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [1]), the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 2 / 1200, which is lower than the small hit probability (6/1200) in the case of the first variable game.

  When the determination result of step S40 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S41). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from among the small hit symbols (symbol e) based on the special symbol (step S42). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a specific variation pattern for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S43).

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S39, and outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays a second final symbol display so as to display the final stop symbol determined based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of H1 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S40 is negative (not the small hit), the main CPU 30a displays the final stop symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the second special symbol display H1 from the off symbols other than the small hit symbol. Determine (step S44). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect and the variation pattern for the outlier effect (step S45). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S39, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main CPU 30a performs the second variable game. Is executed preferentially. The second start winning opening 27 has an opening / closing blade 26 that is open when the probability variation state or the short time state is given, so that the game ball is likely to win a prize. The second variable game is easily executed continuously. And if the second variation game is a big hit, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that of the first variation game, but when the probability variation state is given, the 15 round big hit game is The ratio of whether or not it is granted is different. In other words, the distribution of special figure distribution random numbers is different. For this reason, when it is a probable big hit in the second variable game, the probability that the prescribed round number of games is 15 rounds is higher than that in the first variable game. In other words, a 15-round jackpot game that can be expected to win more game balls than a 2-round jackpot game is a jackpot game with game content advantageous to the player, and the second variable game is a promising jackpot game. In this case, the probability that the 15-round jackpot game is awarded is higher than that of the first variable game. As described above, in the probability variation state, the second variation game is likely to be continuously executed. When the second variation game is a probability variation big hit, 15 rounds of big hit game compared to the first variation game. The probability of being given is high. From this, when the probability variation big hit continues in the probability variation state or the short time state, the probability that the prescribed round number of games becomes 15 rounds is high.

  Also, the main CPU 30a makes a hit determination stored as the second start hold ball as compared with the case where the determination is made based on the hit determination random number stored as the first start hold ball (in the case of the first variation game). When the determination is based on the random number for use (in the case of the second variable game), the probability of affirming the small hit determination is made lower. For this reason, in the situation where the state of increasing the entrance rate is given and the second variable game is likely to be played, the possibility that a small hit game that is not expected to be profitable for the player is reduced. In other words, in the state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the interest of the game can be improved without causing the player to feel stress.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the big hit (when [1] is set in the big hit flag), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol And a predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main CPU 30a will be described for each of the jackpot games of the normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, and the normal non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game.

  First, control related to a normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game and a normal non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game will be described. When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (10 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (10 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed. At that time, the main CPU 30a sets a probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when a normal probability variation 15 round big hit game is imparted, and an operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is imparted. Set. On the other hand, when the normal non-probability change 15 round big hit game is given, the main CPU 30a clears the probability change flag and gives an operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is given in order to give the short time state. Set. The main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0]. Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c.

Next, the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and at the same time the round game time T4 (max 29. 9 seconds). In this embodiment, the main CPU 30a controls the first round of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game with game contents different from the first round of the normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game. To do.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the main CPU 30a uses the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 on the condition that no upper limit number of game balls have entered. , Open up to 3 times. The numbers “1” to “3” in FIG. 10A indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal to open the large winning opening door 28 of the first large winning opening apparatus 29, and also wins a grand prize to the overall control board 31. An opening command for instructing the number of times of opening of the special winning opening door 28 of the mouth device 29 is output. At the time of the first opening, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command for instructing the number of opening “1 (first)”. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 of the special prize opening device 29 is opened (first opening), and if the opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, 1 is passed. A closing signal is output in order to end the opening of the big winning opening door 28 of the second big winning opening apparatus 29. At the same time, the main CPU 30 a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of times of closing of the special prize opening door 28 to the overall control board 31. At the first closing time, the main CPU 30a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of closing times “1 (first time)”.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as the second opening of the big prize opening door 28, and the number of opening of the big winning opening door 28 to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “2 (second)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time since the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the second big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the second prize opening door 28 is closed (second closing).

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (second closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INb (2.9 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the second opening and the third opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INb has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as the third large winning opening door 28 is opened, and the number of times the large winning opening door 28 is opened to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “3 (first time)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (third opening), and if the opening time T2 (max 23.8 seconds) has elapsed, the third big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the third prize winning door 28 is closed (third closing).

  Note that the main CPU 30a ends the round game when the number of game balls that have entered the grand prize winning door 28 during the round game reaches the upper limit number of balls (specified number). For this reason, even in the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, when the upper limit number of game balls are entered during the first round game, the main CPU 30a ends the round game at that time. For example, at the time of the third release, if a maximum number of game balls are entered before the opening time T2 has elapsed, the round game is terminated at that time.

  The main CPU 30a, which has finished the first round game, executes each round game from the second round, and then executes the ending, as in the normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the normal non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game. To control. That is, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), the main CPU 30a sets the interval time INc (2) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round in order to start the round game of the second round. .0 seconds), a round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the second round game when the end condition (elapse of the round game time T3 (25 seconds) or the upper limit number of balls entered) is satisfied in the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDa (10 seconds). After the ending time elapses, the main CPU 30a ends the jackpot game, sets a probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted, and sets an operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is imparted. The main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0].

Next, the probability variation 2 round jackpot game will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and at the same time the round game time T5 (max 0. 6 seconds). The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time since the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (first opening), and if the round gaming time T5 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the first round game A closing signal is output to finish the operation.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time INc has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the second round game, and at the same time the round game time T5 shown in FIG. The measurement of (max 0.6 seconds) is started. The main CPU 30a outputs an open signal. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time since the grand prize winning door 28 is opened (second opening), and if the round game time T5 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the round game of the second round A closing signal is output to finish the operation.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the second round game. When the second round game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.9 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game. At that time, the main CPU 30a sets a probability variation flag indicating that a certain probability variation state is to be given. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a sets the operation flag if the operation flag is set at the start of the symbol variation game, and clears the operation flag if it is not set. The main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0].

  When the main CPU 30a determines the small hit (when [1] is set in the small hit flag), the main CPU 30a starts the control of the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern. A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the control board 31 (the general CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the small hit game will be described in detail.

  When the symbol variation game is finished, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round to start the first round game, and the round game time T7 (max 3.2 seconds) shown in FIG. 10C. ) Measurement starts. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10C, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize winning door 28 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls are not entered. . The numbers “1” and “2” in FIG. 10C indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first grand prize winning door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T6 (0.6 seconds) has elapsed, the first big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 (seconds)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the second big prize opening door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T6 (0.6 (seconds)) has elapsed, the second big winning prize is received. In order to end the opening of the door 28, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.9 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the small hit game. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning a small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a does not set or clear either the probability variation flag or the operation flag.

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, in the first round of the special probability change 15 round big hit game, the probability variation 2 round big hit game, the small hit game and the opening manner of the big prize opening door 28 Are created in the same manner. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), in the first round of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the first opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) The winning opening door 28 is opened twice by multiplying the second opening time T1 (0.6 seconds) = 3.2 (seconds). In addition, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), in the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the first round game time T5 (0.6 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) + the second round game time. Multiply by T5 (0.6 seconds) = 3.2 (seconds), the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. Further, as shown in FIG. 10C, in the small hit game, the first opening time T6 (0.6 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second opening time T6 (0.6 seconds) ) = Round game time T7 (3.2 seconds) is multiplied, and the grand prize winning door 28 is opened twice. That is, in the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the time from the start of the first opening of the first round big winning opening door 28 to the end of the second round, and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game and the small bonus game The time from the start of the first opening of the grand prize opening door 28 to the end of the second opening is set to “3.2 (seconds)”. That is, in the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, and the jackpot game, the prize winning door 28 is opened in the same opening manner for “3.2 (seconds)”.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) to 10 (c), the time T8 until the third opening is performed in the first round of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, and the time until the probability variation 2 round jackpot game ends. The time T9 and the time T10 until the small hit game ends are both set to “6.1 (seconds)” and are set to the same time.

  From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, even if the open state of the big winning opening door 28 is visually confirmed, it is not possible to distinguish between the probability variation 2 round big hit game and the small hit game. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, even in the special probability variation 15 round big hit game, after the start of the first round, until the third release is performed, Cannot be distinguished. As a result, even if the grand prize winning door 28 is opened twice in a short time (0.6 seconds), the player is in a special probability variable 15 round jackpot game from the open mode, or in the probability variable two round jackpot game. It is not possible to distinguish whether there is a game or a small hit game.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the main CPU 30a that controls the opening and closing of the special prize opening door 28 performed in a round game functions as an opening control means. Then, the main CPU 30a takes less time than the round game time (time T4, T7 in FIGS. 10A and 10C) in the first round of the special probability variation 15 round big hit game or the small hit game (FIG. 10A). ) And (c) during time T1, T6), the control for opening the special winning opening door 28 is the first opening control. Further, the main CPU 30a performs round game time in the 2nd to 15th rounds of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the normal non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game, and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game (FIG. 10A). , (B) during time T3, T5), the control for opening the special prize opening door 28 is the second opening control. In addition, during the first opening control (time T1 in FIG. 10A) in the first round of the special probability variation 15 round big hit game, the main CPU 30a has a longer time (time T2 in FIG. 10A). The control for opening the special prize opening door 28 is the third opening control.

  As described above, the main CPU 30a of the present embodiment serves as a big hit determination means for determining whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a variation pattern determination unit that determines a variation pattern. The RAM 30c serves as a first hold storage unit that stores a random number for determination by hitting a predetermined area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number. The RAM 30c serves as second hold storage means for storing a determination random number in a predetermined area associated with the second special figure start hold storage number. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as special game state grant judging means for judging whether or not the probability variation state (special game state) is given after the big hit game ends. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a jackpot game determining means for determining the game content (the number of specified round games) of the jackpot game. The main CPU 30a serves as a random number acquisition unit that acquires a random number for determination upon detection of winning of a game ball. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a symbol random number acquisition means for acquiring a special symbol distribution random number (symbol random number) upon detection of winning of a game ball. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a first symbol determination means for determining a final stop symbol to be displayed with a fixed stop at the end of the first variable game, based on the special symbol distribution random number. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a second symbol determination means for determining a final stop symbol to be displayed with a fixed stop at the end of the second variable game, based on the special symbol distribution random number. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a small hit determination means for determining whether or not to execute the small hit game. The main CPU 30a serves as a small hit game determining means for determining the game content of the small hit game.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing accordingly. More specifically, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34. Similarly, when the opening CPU, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

  Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the general CPU 31a displays the variable display H2 based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The symbol combination by the decorative symbol to be displayed is determined.

  More specifically, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a normal probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a recognizes the probability variation jackpot as a symbol combination of decorative symbols (in this embodiment, , A jackpot symbol combination consisting of odd symbols). In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the normal non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game, the general CPU 31a recognizes the non-probable variable jackpot as a symbol pattern combination (in the present embodiment). , A jackpot symbol combination consisting of even symbols). In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of chances as a symbol combination of decorative symbols. Further, when the designated final stop symbol is a small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of chances as in the case of the special probability variable 15 round jackpot game and the probability variable two round jackpot game. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missed symbol excluding the small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of the missed symbols. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design of each column to the display control board 32. Further, when the main CPU 30a inputs an all symbols stop command, the main CPU 30a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the display of the variable display H2 is displayed so that the decorative symbols are variably displayed with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol combination game. Control the content. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the symbol combination designated by the inputted decoration design designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. By this control, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2.

  Further, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the opening effect. In addition, when the round command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the round effect. Further, when the ending command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the ending effect. Thereby, in the variable display H2, an opening effect, a round effect, and an ending effect are each performed.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are 1 or more, the main CPU 30a associates with the second special figure start reserved memory number in a predetermined area of the RAM 30c. The big hit determination is preferentially executed based on the stored random number for hit determination (that is, the random number for hit determination stored as the second special figure starting holding ball). In addition, when the final stop symbol becomes a probable variation symbol, the main CPU 30a determines that the big hit determination based on the random number for hit determination stored as the second special figure start hold ball becomes affirmative as the first start hold ball. Compared with the case where the big hit determination based on the stored random number for hit determination becomes affirmative, the big hit game having a game content advantageous to the player is determined with high probability. Specifically, in the case of a promising big hit, the second variable game that was performed with the detection of the winning at the second starting winning port 27 was performed with the detection of the winning at the first starting winning port 25 There is a higher probability that a 15-round jackpot game is awarded compared to the first variable game. And, since the second start winning opening 27 is given the bonus rate improvement state as a privilege when the probability variation state is given, it is easier to detect the game ball than the first starting winning opening 25. It is comprised so that it may become.

  For this reason, when the probability variation state is given and it is easy to win the game ball in the second start winning port 27, the symbol variation game based on the game ball won in the second start winning port 27 (second variation game) Is easier to be executed. Then, when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 27 and a big hit is made, a big hit game (15 round big hit game) having a game content advantageous to the player is determined with high probability. For this reason, when the probability variation state is given and the probability variation big hit is continuously made, there is a high possibility that the big hit game (15 round big hit game) of the game contents advantageous to the player will continue. On the other hand, the probability that the probability variation state is given does not change. That is, it is possible to suppress the probability that consecutive probable big hits are continued, and there is no significant disadvantage for the game store. Therefore, without changing the rate at which the probability change state is given, it is possible to prevent the big hit games (two round big hit games) that are disadvantageous to the player from continuing, and to acquire a large number of game balls. It is possible to balance the speculation on the player side and the speculation on the player side who wants to reduce the number of game balls acquired.

  (2) Also, the main CPU 30a is stored as the second start holding ball as compared with the case where the determination is made based on the random number for hit determination stored as the first start holding ball (in the case of the first variation game). The probability of affirming the small hit determination is lower when the determination is based on the random number for hit determination (in the case of the second variable game). That is, the small hit probability is lower when the second variation game is performed than the first variation game. The second variable game is particularly likely to be executed in the probability change state or the short time state in which the entrance rate improvement state is given. For this reason, the second variation game is played in the probability variation state or the short time state in which the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the player can not expect the payout of the winning ball as in the probability variation two round big hit game. It is possible to prevent the small hit game from appearing frequently and to prevent the player's interest from deteriorating.

  (3) Further, in the present embodiment, when the first variable game is played, the small winning game and the probability change in which the opening mode (opening and closing timing, etc.) of the big winning opening door 28 is the same until it is opened twice. The probability that either a 2-round jackpot game or a special 15-round jackpot game is executed is 7.4 / 1200. The probability is the appearance rate of small hit games in the first variable game (6/1200) + probability 2 round big hit games appearance rate in the first variable game (4/1200 × 30/100) + first It is calculated | required by the special probability change 15 round jackpot game (4/1200 * 5/100) in a change game. On the other hand, when the second floating game is played, any one of the small hit game, the probability variation two round big hit game or the special 15 round big hit game in which the open state of the big winning opening door 28 is the same until it is opened twice. The probability that will be executed is 2.8 / 1200. It should be noted that the probability is the appearance rate of the small hit game in the second variable game (2/1200) + the probability of the probability variation 2 round big hit game in the second variable game (4/1200 × 10/100) + second. It is calculated | required by special probability change 15 round jackpot game (4/1200 * 10/100).

  In other words, the probability that any one of the small hit game, the probability variation 2 round big hit game, and the special 15 round big hit game is lower in the second variable game. For this reason, when the second variable game is performed, the winning game is started, and the winning game that cannot be easily determined from the open state of the special winning opening door 28 is reduced. Therefore, in the probability variation state or the short time state in which the second variable game is likely to continue, there is a low possibility that a winning game that cannot be easily determined from the open state of the big prize opening door 28 will be performed. It is possible to quickly inform what kind of winning game is performed.

  (4) Further, in this embodiment, when the probability variation 2 round big hit game is executed and when the small hit game is executed, from the game effect of the variable display H2 and the opening / closing mode of the big winning door 28. It is not possible to recognize which has been done. On the other hand, when the predetermined opening / closing mode (opening / closing mode as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C) of the special prize winning door 28 is performed after the second variation game is performed, Since it is less likely that the game is a small hit game than when the first variable game is played, the player can be expected to be given a certain change state after the hit game. Therefore, in a situation where the second variable game is continuously executed in the probability change state or the short time state, when the big winning opening door 28 is quickly opened twice, a small hit game is given to the player. The possibility is low and it can be expected that the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is highly likely to be awarded.

  (5) Random numbers for winning determination acquired upon detection of winning of a game ball at the first start winning opening 25 and random numbers for determination of winning acquired upon detection of winning of a game ball at the second starting winning opening 27 , Use a common random number. Also, at the time of jackpot determination, a common jackpot determination value is used regardless of whether the game is the first variation game or the second variation game. As described above, since the hit determination random number and the big hit determination value are commonly used, the control program can be simplified, and the control burden and the storage capacity of the ROM 30b can be reduced.

  (6) Regardless of the first variation game or the second variation game, the same random number is used as the special figure distribution random number used when determining the jackpot symbol. Thereby, the control program can be simplified, and the control burden and the storage capacity of the ROM 30b can be reduced. In addition, whether or not the probability variation state is given depending on the type of special figure, and the prescribed number of round games are determined. For this reason, the main CPU 30a can determine whether or not to give the probability variation state and the prescribed number of round games only by determining the special bonus chart, and can be processed with a simple control program.

  (7) Since the types of special figures displayed on the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 are the same, it is determined whether or not the probability variation state is given or whether the game is a big hit game depending on whether or not it is the first variation game It is not necessary to change the process for determining the contents, and the process can be performed with a simple control program.

  (8) In the second variation game, when the probability variation jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, the average of the number of prescribed round games per jackpot game per game is about 12.8 rounds. Further, in the first variation game, when the probability variation jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, the average of the prescribed round number of games per jackpot game is 8.5 rounds. On the other hand, in the first variation game and the second variation game, in the case of a non-probable variation big hit, the average of the prescribed round number of games per big hit game does not change (that is, 15 rounds). Therefore, from a comprehensive viewpoint, the second variation game has a higher probability of being awarded a jackpot game having a game content advantageous to the player than the first variation game. When the game is executed, the expectation for the big hit is higher and the interest of the game is improved.

  In the second variation game, when the probability variation jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, the average of the prescribed round number of games per jackpot game is obtained by a weighted average, specifically, 2R × (probability variation). Probability of becoming a 2-round jackpot game (10/60)) + 15R × (probability of becoming a 15-game hit game for normal probability or 15 rounds of special probability change or a game for 50-game bonus game of special probability (50/60)). Similarly, in the first variation game, when the probability variation jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, the average of the prescribed round game number of the jackpot game per game is 2R × (probability of becoming the probability variation 2 round jackpot game (30 / 60))) + 15R × (probability of becoming a 15-game big hit game for normal probability or a 15-game big game for special probability variation (30/60)).

  (9) Regardless of whether the first variation game or the second variation game is performed, the variable display H2 executes the symbol combination game corresponding to the first variation game or the second variation game. The symbol combination game performed on the variable display H2 has a larger display area than the first variation game and the second variation game performed on the special illustration displays H0 and H1, so that the player The displayed symbol variation game is not conscious of either the first variation game or the second variation game. For this reason, when the symbol combination game is executed on the variable display H2, the player is unaware of whether the game is the first variation game or the second variation game. It can be expected that it will be a symbol variation game with a high probability of becoming a promising big hit.

  (10) Regardless of whether the first variation game or the second variation game is performed, the symbol combination game on the variable display H2 is executed based on the same variation pattern. For this reason, the number of fluctuation patterns can be reduced, and the storage amount of the ROM 30b can be reduced.

  (11) The opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 in the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is the same as the opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 in the small hit game. For this reason, it is not possible to distinguish whether or not the small hit game has been performed based on the open state of the special winning opening door 28. That is, it is possible to effectively conceal whether or not a certain change state has been given. Further, the main CPU 30a determines the game content of the big hit game based on the final stop symbol. For this reason, the game content of the big hit game can be determined only by determining the final stop symbol, and can be processed with a simple control program.

  (12) In the first round game of the special probability change 15 round jackpot game, the main CPU 30a executes the first release control, and within the round game time T4 set in the special probability change 15 round jackpot game, the probability change 2 The grand prize winning door 28 is opened for the specified number of rounds specified in the round jackpot game. Also, the opening time T1 of the special winning opening door 28 is set to be the same as the round game time T5 of the probability variation 2 round big hit game. Therefore, whether the big hit game won for the player is a special probability variable 15 round big hit game until the second opening of the big winning door 28 in the first round is finished and the third opening starts, or It is possible to make it difficult to know whether the game is a promiscuous 2 round jackpot game. The main CPU 30a executes the second release control in the round game after the first round game, so that the player can play the round game after the first round game (round game from the second round). Then, it is possible to obtain the maximum number of balls that can be obtained in the round game for the specified number of rounds.

  (13) In the first round game of the special probability change 15 round jackpot game, the main CPU 30a executes the third release control in addition to the first release control. As a result, even after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened for the specified number of rounds of the probability variation 2 round jackpot game according to the first opening control, until the round game time T4 of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game elapses, The special winning opening door 28 is opened by the third opening control. As a result, even in the first round game, the total opening time when the opening time (T1 + T1 + T2) of the grand prize winning door 28 in the first round game is opened for the specified number of rounds in the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game. It can be set longer than (T5 + T5), and the maximum number of balls can be obtained.

  (14) Special probability change 15 round jackpot game In the first round game, the total opening time (T1 + T1 + T2) of the grand prize winning door 28 opened according to the first opening control and the third opening control is the first round. The opening time of the grand prize winning door 28 opened in accordance with the second opening control in the round game time T3 after the round game is set to be the same. As a result, even in the first round game of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, it is possible to obtain a ball that is almost the same as the round game after the round game.

  (15) The round game time T5 of the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is set to a time such that the number of game balls entering the grand prize winning door 28 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls (specified number). As a result, the round game of the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game is ended only after the lapse of the round game time T5, and a difference in the number of balls from the special probabilistic 15 round jackpot game is added. This prevents the round game time T4 of the round from becoming long.

  (16) In the first round game of the special probability variable 15 round jackpot game, the main CPU 30a executes the first release control to perform the small hit within the round game time T4 set in the special probability variable 15 round jackpot game. The special winning opening door 28 is opened for a predetermined number of times of opening in the game. Further, the opening time T1 of the big prize winning door 28 is set to be the same as one opening time T6 of the small hit game. Therefore, until the second round of the first round game is completed and the third round begins, the player is given a special chance change 15 round big hit game or small win game. I can not understand. The main CPU 30a executes the second release control in the round game after the first round game, so that the player can play the round game after the first round game (round game from the second round). Then, it is possible to obtain the maximum number of balls that can be obtained in the round game for the specified number of rounds.

  (17) In the first round game of the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game, the main CPU 30a executes the third release control in addition to the first release control. As a result, even after the grand prize winning door 28 is opened for the predetermined number of times of the small hit game according to the first opening control, the round game time T4 of the special probability variable 15 round big hit game is passed. 3 The open door 28 is opened by opening control. Therefore, even in the first round game, the total opening time when the opening time (T1 + T1 + T2) of the big prize opening door 28 in the first round game is opened by the predetermined number of times of the small hit game ( It can be set longer than T6 + T6), and the maximum number of balls can be obtained.

  (18) The round game time T7 of the small hit game is set to a time such that the number of game balls entering the big winning opening door 28 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls (specified number). As a result, the round game of the small hit game is terminated only after the round game time T7 has elapsed, and the difference in the number of balls from the special probability variable 15 round big hit game is given, and the first round of the special probability variable 15 round big hit game Prevents a long round game time.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the specified number of round games can be changed when the probability variation state is given. However, the number of specified round games may be changed even in the normal state. For example, in the first floating game, the probability that the normal non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game is given is lowered, and in the second variable game, the probability that the normal non-probability variable 15 round big hit game is given is increased. good. As a result, when the probability variation state is given and the second variation game is likely to be executed, even if the probability variation state is not imparted in the second variation game, even if it is a non-probability variation big hit, The probability that a game is given increases, and the player is less likely to be disappointed when the probability variation state ends.

In the above embodiment, one each of the first start winning port 25 and the second starting winning port 27 are provided, but a plurality of them may be provided.
In the above embodiment, the number of specified round games is different depending on the type of jackpot symbol, but the opening time of the big winning door 28 in each round game may be different. In other words, when the probability variation jackpot is made in the second floating game, the opening time of the big winning door 28 in each round game is higher than the case where the probability variation jackpot is made in the first variation game. A long jackpot game may be given.

  In the above embodiment, the first variation game and the second variation game are configured in the same way as the number of specified round games of the jackpot game to be granted, but the ratio of the probability variation state is changed. If not, it may be changed arbitrarily.

  In the above embodiment, the number of types of big hit games with different numbers of prescribed round games may be increased unless the ratio at which the probability variation state is given is changed. For example, in the second floating game, the probability that a normal non-probability 15 round jackpot game will be awarded is 40/100, and the probability that a 10-round probability jackpot game is awarded is 30/100. The probability of being given may be 30/100.

  In the above embodiment, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 are provided as the special figure display, and the first variation game and the second variation game are performed in different display areas. A special symbol display game may be played in the same display area with only one special symbol display. In this way, it can be made unknown whether or not the symbol variation game currently being performed is the first variation game. Moreover, it is sufficient to provide only one special figure indicator, and the cost can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the symbol combination game on the variable display H2 is executed with the same variation pattern regardless of whether the first variation game or the second variation game is performed. The symbol combination game on the variable display H2 may be executed. In this way, the player can easily determine whether or not the symbol combination game currently being executed on the variable display H2 is the second variable game, and the big hit with a large number of prescribed round games. Whether or not a game can be expected can be easily identified. In addition, it is possible to easily identify whether there are many small hit games.

  In the above embodiment, a plurality of normal variation patterns, specific variation patterns, variation patterns for outlier reach effects, and variation patterns for outlier effects may be provided. At that time, the distribution of the variation pattern may be different between when the first variation game is performed and when the second variation game is performed. If it does in this way, it can be suggested from the effect contents of the symbol combination game in the variable display H2 whether it is the 2nd variation game, and the 2nd variation game in the symbol combination game in the variable display H2. Even if it is not possible to determine whether or not it is, the player can determine from the contents of the effect whether or not there is a high possibility of being the second variable game. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the symbol combination game on the variable display H2, and the interest of the game is improved.

In the above embodiment, the upper limit number of entering balls in one round game may be changed.
In the above embodiment, the special probability variation 15 round jackpot game need not be performed.

  In the above embodiment, the second variation game that is performed with the detection of the winning at the second starting winning port 27 is performed when the winning at the first starting winning port 25 is detected when the probability variation is a big hit. Although the probability that a big hit game of 15 rounds is awarded is higher than that of the first variable game, it may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 in the small hit game is the same as the opening mode of the big winning opening door 28 in the probability variation 2 round big hit game, but may be different.
