Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly, to a pachinko gaming machine that notifies a reserved jackpot and / or an expectation degree thereof with a continuous performance.

Conventionally, a lottery is executed based on a random number value acquired at the time of winning a start opening (hereinafter referred to as a start winning), and a special symbol for notifying the player of the result of the lottery (hereinafter also referred to as a special figure). There is known a pachinko gaming machine having a special figure display device for displaying a jackpot game that executes a jackpot game according to a mode of the jackpot symbol when a special jackpot symbol indicating the jackpot is derived from the special figure display device. Yes. Hereinafter, the lottery is referred to as a special drawing lottery.
In the special figure display device, after the special figure lottery, the special figure fluctuation over a predetermined time is started, and the special figure in the form corresponding to the special figure lottery result is derived to the special figure display device when the special figure fluctuation stops. .
Further, when a start prize is generated during the special figure fluctuation, the random number value used for the special figure lottery can be reserved and stored within a maximum of four ranges. Hereinafter, the number of random values stored on hold is referred to as a special figure hold number. Specifically, when the special figure hold number when the start winning is generated is less than 4, a process of adding 1 to the special figure hold number, a random value acquisition / hold storage process, and a prize ball payout process However, when the special figure hold number is 4, only the prize ball payout process is executed.

  Then, after a special symbol change is stopped and the off symbol indicating that it is out is derived, and the special figure hold number is not 0, the special figure based on the random number value acquired first (hold storage) In order to notify the player of the result of the lottery, a special figure change corresponding to this is started. At this time, one reserved storage area in which the random value related to the earliest acquisition corresponding to the special figure fluctuation is stored is released, and the special figure reserved number is decremented by one. On the other hand, when the number of special figure holds is 0, the off symbol derivation state is maintained until the special figure change triggered by the next start winning prize is started.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine described above generally includes an effect display device composed of a liquid crystal display or the like separately from the special figure display device, and in the effect display device, the fluctuation of the production symbol synchronized with the special figure fluctuation and the special figure fluctuation Various effects including a final display of effect symbols synchronized with the stop are executed.
Such a pachinko gaming machine generally includes a main control unit that controls overall game control including control of a special figure display device, and a sub-control unit that controls an effect display device.
Here, the signal input to the main control unit is limited to only signals necessary for game execution (for example, an output signal of a winning detection sensor) from the viewpoint of fraud prevention. The control unit is connected to each other only by a data transmission line from the main control unit to the sub control unit, and the sub control unit controls the effect display device based on the control command transmitted from the main control unit.

  Specifically, a control command related to special figure fluctuation will be described. A special figure fluctuation start command is transmitted from the main control section to the sub-control section when the special figure fluctuation is started, and a special figure fluctuation stop command is transmitted when the special figure fluctuation is stopped. The special figure change start command includes data that can determine the special figure lottery result (hereinafter referred to as special figure lottery result data) and data that can determine the special figure fluctuation time (hereinafter referred to as special figure fluctuation time data). Included, the sub-control unit starts the production according to both data when receiving the special figure variation start command, and confirms and displays the production symbol according to the special figure lottery result data when receiving the special figure fluctuation stop command. To finish the production. In this way, an effect synchronized with the special figure fluctuation is executed by the effect display device.

Conventionally, when there is a random value that matches a value to be determined to be a jackpot (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot determination value) among the random numbers stored on hold, a special figure that is currently being executed or started next There are known pachinko machines that perform continuous effects over a plurality of special figure fluctuations from fluctuations to special figure fluctuations corresponding to jackpots on the effect display device and notify the jackpots on hold by the continuous effects (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
As an example of the continuous production, in Patent Document 1, the special drawing lottery result is forcibly derived in response to each special figure variation in which the special drawing lottery is out, while the special drawing lottery result is a big hit. A pachinko gaming machine that executes a jackpot effect accompanying the establishment of a reach state in response to a special figure change is disclosed. That is, according to the pachinko gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to give a notice of the on-hold jackpot based on the continuation of the same off-stage effect symbols.

Further, in Patent Document 2, the reach design having the same reach design is continued a plurality of times, and the final design of the symbol sequence to be finally stopped is gradually brought closer to the reach design as the continuous performance progresses. It is disclosed that prior notice is given that there is a big hit in the hold (see, for example, FIG. 8 of Patent Document 2).
In this way, in a continuous production, after a special off-line effect implied by a predetermined rule or manner, or after a series of special off-line productions, a high-reasonable reach production (hereinafter referred to as super reach) Is generally performed).

Furthermore, the continuous production is often started with the maximum number of special figure reservations being four or close to it, and after the number of special figure reservations reaches the maximum of four due to start winning during continuous production execution, A so-called useless ball is generated in which random number acquisition and hold storage processing are not executed even when the winning prize is made. Therefore, the player may perform a so-called stop-off in which the launching of the game ball is temporarily stopped in order to prevent the useless ball from being generated when the number of special figure reservations is four or close to it. If stop hits are made frequently, the operating rate of the gaming machine will be reduced. To prevent stop hits, at least the time required for special off-shooting effects should be set to a relatively short time. Is desirable.
Furthermore, when the specification that the on-hold jackpot is confirmed at the time when the continuous performance is started, there is a possibility that the hitting will be stopped at this time, so the random value that matches the jackpot determination value is not on hold. Even in this case, it is desirable that the continuous effect is executed with a predetermined probability.

By the way, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, the special figure fluctuation time is determined by random lottery according to the special figure lottery result based on the random number value related to the earliest acquisition at the start of the special figure fluctuation.
Specifically, when the special figure lottery result is a big hit, one special figure fluctuation time is selected by random lottery from a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation times corresponding to a plurality of types of jackpot effects. On the other hand, if the special drawing lottery result is out of the way, first, the effect that the content is almost the same as each jackpot effect (hereinafter referred to as a pseudo jackpot effect), except that an effect design that finally shows off is finally displayed. Is determined by random number lottery. Hereinafter, the lottery for determining whether or not to execute the pseudo jackpot effect is referred to as a pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery. Then, when the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is won, one special figure variation time is selected by random number lottery from a plurality of types of special figure variation times corresponding to each of a plurality of types of pseudo jackpot effects.
On the other hand, when the lottery of the pseudo jackpot effect execution is off, for example, one special figure out of one or a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation times corresponding to one or a plurality of types of normal off effects without derivation of the reach state. The variable time is selected by random lottery.

Here, each jackpot effect and each pseudo jackpot effect paired with each jackpot effect require a relatively long stage time to raise the player's sense of expectation for the jackpot. It is necessary to set a long special figure change time. On the other hand, a special figure fluctuation time shorter than this is set at the time of executing a normal off effect.
For this reason, for example, when the pseudo-hit effect is executed when the number of special figure reservations is the maximum of four and close to this, the special figure fluctuation time is correspondingly increased, and as a result, the above-mentioned stoppage is stopped. May be performed. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the probability of winning the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is set low when the number of special figure reservations is the maximum of four and close to this. Thereby, the probability that a short special figure fluctuation time is selected is increased, and the generation of useless spheres is suppressed.
On the other hand, when the special figure holding number is 0 or close to this, the probability of winning the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is set high. This increases the probability that a long special figure fluctuation time is selected, thereby increasing the number of special figure reservations due to the start winning during the special figure fluctuation.

Here, the case where the above-described special figure variation time determination method is applied to a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a continuous performance function will be specifically considered below. As a specific example, the random number value obtained when the number of special figure holds reaches the maximum of 4 due to the start winning during the special figure fluctuation, and the random number value that matches the jackpot judgment value, and the other three stored stored randomness Consider a case in which when a numerical value does not agree with the jackpot determination value, a continuous effect is performed over four special chart variations from the next special chart variation in order to give a notice of the jackpot on hold.
First, when it is determined that a continuous effect is to be performed, the main control unit transmits a command indicating that effect (hereinafter referred to as a continuous effect start command) to the sub-control unit.
Of the four consecutive special drawing variations, the special drawing variation time corresponding to one of the jackpot productions will be selected for the fourth special drawing variation because it will win the special drawing lottery. The special figure fluctuation time of each of the first to third special figure fluctuations that will be excluded from the special figure lottery is a pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery according to the number of special figure reservations at the start of each special figure change, and the pseudo jackpot effect execution. It is determined through a special drawing variation time lottery according to the lottery result. Here, since the number of special figure hold at the start of each special figure change for the first to third time changes depending on the number of start winnings so far, whether or not to win the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery starts It is impossible to make a prediction before the time, and when a pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is won, a relatively long special figure variation time is selected.

On the other hand, since the sub-control unit is notified in advance by the continuous production start command that the continuous production will be executed, at the time of receiving the special figure start command transmitted at the subsequent first to third special figure fluctuation start. It is only necessary to execute an effect different from the normal time in which the player can recognize that the effect is the effect time corresponding to the special figure variation time data and is a continuous effect. In order to realize this, a pair of effect data having the same effect time and different contents corresponding to each special figure variation time data, that is, continuous effect data to be executed during the continuous effect, and normal not in the continuous effect It is necessary to prepare in advance on the sub-control unit side the data for normal performance to be executed sometimes.
However, with this method, it is necessary to create an enormous number of production data, which is about twice as much as the conventional method, so that the development period is prolonged, and the development cost increases accordingly. Since it is necessary to prepare a large-capacity storage medium, there is a problem that the cost of parts is also increased.

Therefore, in a conventional pachinko machine equipped with a continuous performance function, when executing a continuous performance, this problem is solved by adopting a method for determining the special figure fluctuation time that is different from the normal time. Yes.
Specifically, when preparing a plurality of types of scenario data on the main control unit side that define special figure change times corresponding to each of a plurality of effects to be executed during the continuous performance, One scenario data is selected from a plurality of types of scenario data, and the special figure variation time is determined based on the scenario data.
According to this method, the special figure variation time that can be selected during the continuous production, that is, the production pattern is limited to those included in the plurality of types of scenario data. There is no need to create an enormous number of production data corresponding to double, and there is an advantage that an increase in development cost and component cost can be suppressed as compared with the above method.

By the way, pachinko machines are required to be examined before they are sold, and the program of the main control unit is also included in the examination. In addition, a certain limit is imposed on the program capacity of the main control unit in order to perform examination quickly.
On the other hand, an increase in the number of effect patterns executed on the effect display device, that is, an increase in the number of patterns in the special figure variation time, causes an increase in the program capacity of the main control unit, and the program capacity is within the limit capacity range. It has become difficult to fit in.
As described above, in a pachinko machine equipped with a function for notifying a jackpot on hold and / or an expectation for this by a continuous effect, it is necessary to prepare scenario data dedicated to the continuous effect in the program of the main control unit. Therefore, there is a problem that it is more difficult to keep the program capacity of the main control unit within the limit capacity range as compared with a pachinko gaming machine that does not have this function.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine capable of executing a continuous effect similar to the conventional one while minimizing an increase in program capacity of a main control unit.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is composed of a variable winning device capable of transitioning between a closed state where a winning of a game ball is impossible and an open state where the winning is possible, and is usually a large winning opening that is closed. In order to notify the player of the result of the special game execution lottery that determines whether to execute any of the multiple types of special games with the opening of the special winning opening or not, A special figure display device for deriving a pattern of a mode according to the result of the special game execution lottery, a start port as a winning opening required for starting the special figure display device, and the special figure display device The effect display according to the control display from the effect display device for displaying the special symbol variation effect accompanied by the variation of the plurality of effect symbol sequences in synchronization with the symbol variation of the game, the main control unit that controls the overall game control, and the control command from the main control unit A sub-control unit for controlling the device.

  The main control unit generates a first random number value related to the special game execution lottery and a second random number value related to the special figure variation time lottery for determining the symbol variation time in the special figure display device. Generating means, starting condition satisfaction determining means for determining whether a starting condition for starting the special figure display device is satisfied, and N storage units for storing the first and second random number values (N Is a natural number greater than or equal to 2), and the first and second random number values are suspended and stored with the N as an upper limit until it is determined by the start condition satisfaction determination means that the start condition is satisfied At the time of winning at the storage unit and the start opening, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved special figures, which is the number of used storage units that have already stored the first and second random number values, is less than the N. The first generated by the random number generation means when determined. And the second random number value is acquired and stored in an unused storage unit, and the start winning processing means for incrementing the special figure holding number by 1 and the start condition establishment determination means determine that the start condition is satisfied. And a random number saving processing means for saving the first and second random number values related to the earliest acquisition from the storage unit storing them and decrementing the special figure holding number by one. .

  Further, the main control unit, based on the first random number value saved by the random number save processing means, a special game execution lottery means for executing the special game execution lottery, and a result of the lottery by the special game execution lottery means, When it is determined not to execute any special game, the symbol variation time in the special figure display device is calculated based on the second random number value saved by the random number saving processing means and the current special figure holding number. The type of special game to be executed determined by the lottery when it is determined to execute any special game as a result of the lottery by the special time fluctuation drawing lottery means to be determined and the special game execution lottery means to be determined And a special hour drawing variation time lottery means for determining a symbol variation time in the special figure display device based on the second random number value saved by the random number saving processing means.

  Further, the main control unit, after the lottery by the special game execution lottery means and the winning special figure fluctuation time lottery means or the off-time special figure fluctuation time lottery means, the special figure holding number is not 0 In addition, the result of the lottery by the special game execution lottery means, the result of the lottery by the winning special figure fluctuation time lottery means or the off-time special figure fluctuation time lottery means, and each storage unit of the holding storage means Based on the first and second random number values, continuous effect execution determining means for determining whether or not to execute a continuous effect on the effect display device over a plurality of symbol variations in the special figure display device; After the determination by the continuous production execution determination means, the symbol variation on the special symbol display device is started, and the special symbol variation time lottery means for hitting or the special symbol variation time lottery unit for off-time from the start of the symbol variation Decided by The special symbol display device control means for deriving the symbol according to the result of the lottery by the special game execution lottery means by stopping the symbol variation when the designated symbol variation time has elapsed, and the special symbol display device At the start of symbol variation, the result of lottery by the special game execution lottery unit, the result of lottery by the winning special symbol variation time lottery unit or the off-time special symbol variation time lottery unit, and the determination result by the continuous production determination unit A special figure variation start / stop command is transmitted to the sub-control unit, and a special-figure variation stop command is transmitted to the sub-control unit when the symbol variation is stopped in the special-figure display device. Transmitting means.

  On the other hand, when the special figure change start command is received, the sub-control unit draws the lottery result by the special game execution lottery means included in the command, the special time fluctuation drawing lottery means, or the special figure fluctuation at the time of loss Based on the lottery result by the time lottery means and the determination result by the continuous effect determination means, the special figure fluctuation effect to be executed is determined and the special figure fluctuation effect is started, and when the special figure fluctuation stop command is received. , Special figure fluctuation effect execution means for ending the currently executed special figure fluctuation effect is provided.

  Furthermore, the continuous performance execution determination means is determined not to execute any special game as a result of the lottery by the special game execution lottery means, and the result of the lottery by the off-time special map variation time lottery means is a predetermined result. The first determination means for determining whether or not the first symbol variation time has been selected, and when the affirmative determination is made by the first determination means, As a result of the lottery by the special game execution lottery means, the first random number value to be determined to execute the specific type of special game, and the result of the lottery by the special time fluctuation special lottery means, a predetermined second symbol variation A second determination means for determining whether or not there is a specific storage unit storing a second random number value for which time is to be selected; and when the negative determination is made by the second determination means, Used 1 or In the number storage unit, as a result of the lottery by the special game execution lottery means, the first random number value to be determined not to execute any special game, and the lottery by the special figure fluctuation time lottery means at the time of outage As a result, it is determined whether there is a specific storage unit in which a second random number value to be selected is selected regardless of the number of special figure reservations at the time of the lottery execution. And determining whether or not the specific storage unit is a storage unit for which a start condition will be satisfied next time when the determination unit and the second or third determination unit make an affirmative determination. And all other used storage units in which the first and second random number values are stored before the specific storage unit when a negative determination is made by the fourth determination unit. In addition, as a result of the lottery by the special game execution lottery means, any special game The first random number value to be determined not to be executed and the lottery by the off-time special figure fluctuation time lottery means, the first symbol fluctuation time is selected regardless of the special figure holding number at the time of the lottery execution. And fifth determination means for determining whether or not the second random number value to be stored is stored.

  And the said continuous effect execution determination means is the said special game execution lottery based on the 1st random number value stored in the said specific memory | storage part on the condition that the affirmation determination was carried out by the said 4th or 5th determination means. While it is determined to execute a continuous effect over a plurality of symbol variations until a symbol in a mode corresponding to the result of the lottery by the means is derived to the special symbol display device, the first, third or fifth determination When a negative determination is made by the means, it is characterized in that it is determined that the continuous production is not executed.

In the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the symbol variation time on the special figure display device is determined according to the result of the special game execution lottery, the winning special symbol fluctuation time lottery means or the off-time special figure fluctuation time lottery means. Determined by. The result of the special game execution lottery and the result of the winning special figure fluctuation time lottery or the off-time special figure fluctuation time lottery are transmitted to the sub-control unit by the special figure fluctuation start / stop command transmission means.
The winning special figure variation time lottery means selects a symbol variation time according to the type of special game to be executed. That is, the sub-control unit is provided with a plurality of types of special figure variation effects for each type of special game to be executed, and the hit special figure variation time lottery means selects these multiple types of special diagram variation effects. Of these, the symbol variation time corresponding to the execution time of any of the special symbol variation effects is selected.
Similarly, the sub-control unit is provided with a plurality of types of special figure variation effects to be executed at the time of departure without executing any special game. The symbol variation time corresponding to the execution time of any of the special symbol variation effects is selected from the special diagram variation effects.

  Here, the off-time special figure fluctuation time lottery means selects the symbol fluctuation time according to the number of special figure reservations at the time of lottery execution. Thus, for example, if the number of reserved special figures is N or close to the maximum, the probability that a relatively short symbol variation time will be selected is set high to avoid starting winnings during symbol variation as much as possible. If the number of reserved special symbols is zero or close to this, while reducing the number of useless balls, a higher probability of selecting a relatively long symbol variation time is set high to promote a start winning during symbol variation. The number of figure reservations can be increased.

  In addition, the special game execution lottery based on the first random number value stored in the specific storage unit, on the condition that the continuous effect execution determination unit makes an affirmative determination by the fourth or fifth determination unit. It is determined to execute a continuous effect over a plurality of symbol variations until a symbol having a mode corresponding to the result of the lottery by the means is derived to the special symbol display device. In other words, the first symbol variation time is selected one or more times consecutively regardless of the number of special figure holdings by the off-time special map variation time lottery means, and thereafter, the hit special map variation time lottery means. When the second symbol variation time is selected by the above, or when the third symbol variation time is selected regardless of the number of special symbol hold by the off-time special symbol variation time lottery means, it is determined that the continuous effect is executed. .

  As a result, on the effect display device, the special symbol variation effect corresponding to the first symbol variation time having the effect time corresponding to the first symbol variation time (hereinafter referred to as the first specific off-effect) is continuously performed one or more times. After that, a special figure variation effect corresponding to the second symbol variation time (hereinafter referred to as a specific hit effect) or a special symbol variation effect corresponding to the third symbol variation time (referred to as a second specific off-effect) is executed. become. Further, since the determination result by the continuous effect execution determination means is included in the special figure change start command, for example, the contents of the special figure change effect are made different according to the determination result without changing the effect time. Thus, it is possible for the player to identify whether or not the continuous production is being executed.

As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, unlike the conventional pachinko gaming machine, the first specific off-stage effect ( The specific hit effect or the second specific off effect (corresponding to the super-reach effect of the conventional pachinko machine) is executed after one or more consecutive consecutive pachinko gaming machine equivalents). It is possible to execute a continuous production similar to the conventional one.
That is, it is possible to execute a continuous effect similar to the conventional one while minimizing an increase in the program capacity of the main control unit.

  In a specific configuration, the special figure variation effect execution means indicates that a lottery result indicating that the specific type of special game is executed and the second symbol variation time are selected in the special figure variation start command. If the lottery result is included, the special figure variation effect to be executed is selected as the special figure variation effect to be executed, and finally the jackpot effect that derives one of a plurality of jackpot symbol combinations through the reach state. If the start command includes a lottery result indicating that no special game is to be executed and a lottery result indicating that the third symbol variation time is selected, the reach state is set as the special figure variation effect to be executed. Through the above, a reach out effect of the same content as the jackpot effect is selected except that one of a plurality of reach type out symbol combinations is finally derived.

  Further, the special figure variation effect execution means includes a lottery result indicating that no special game is executed and a lottery result indicating that the first symbol variation time is selected in the special figure variation start command. If not, the normal off-direction effect that derives one of a plurality of non-reach-type out-of-line symbol combinations is selected without going through the reach state. Is included, if any of a plurality of special non-reach out-of-pattern combinations is derived, while a determination result indicating that it is not to be executed is included. Any one of the non-reach type out symbol combinations excluding the plurality of special non-reach type out symbol combinations is derived.

  According to the above specific configuration, during the continuous production, the normal display effect with derivation of the special non-reach type out symbol combination is continued one or more times on the production display device, and then the jackpot production or The reach out effect is executed. As a result, it is possible to notify the player that the continuous production has been started by executing the normal outage effect with the derivation of the special non-reach type out symbol combination. The expectation for can be raised.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to execute a continuous effect similar to the conventional one while minimizing an increase in the program capacity of the main control unit.

First start winning process (Figure 3)
In the first start winning process shown in FIG. 3, the presence / absence of a winning at the first start port 81 is monitored, and when winning, various random number acquisition processes and prize ball payout processes are executed.
First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the winning sensor 81S of the first start port 81 has detected a winning. If NO is determined, the same determination is repeated in step S1. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S1, the process proceeds to step S2, where it is determined whether or not the number of first special figure hold is 4, and if it is determined as YES, the process proceeds to step S7. If NO is determined, 1 is added to the first special figure holding number in the next step S3. In the next step S4, the jackpot lottery random number R1 is acquired and stored in the first special figure reservation storage area of the RAM 113, and in step S5 the jackpot type lottery random number R2, the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3, and the special figure variation The current value of the time lottery random number R4 is stored in the first special figure holding storage area of the RAM 113. Then, in the next step S6, a first special figure reservation number change command including the first special figure reservation number is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120, and a prize ball payout process is executed in step S7, and the process proceeds to step S1. Return.

Second start winning process (Figure 4)
In the second start winning process shown in FIG. 4, the presence / absence of a winning at the second starting port 82 is monitored, and when winning, various random number acquisition processes and prize ball payout processes are executed.
First, in step S10, it is determined whether or not the winning sensor 82S of the second start port 82 has detected a winning. If NO is determined, the same determination is repeated in step S10. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S10, the process proceeds to step S11, where it is determined whether the second special figure holding number is 4, and if it is determined as YES, the process proceeds to step S16. If NO is determined, 1 is added to the second special figure holding number in the next step S12. In the next step S13, the jackpot lottery random number R1 is acquired and stored in the second special figure reservation storage area of the RAM 113, and in the next step S14, the jackpot type lottery random number R2, the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3, and the special lottery random number R3 are stored. The current value of the figure fluctuation time lottery random number R4 is stored in the second special figure holding storage area of the RAM 113. Then, in the next step S15, a second special figure reservation number change command including the second special figure reservation number is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120, and a prize ball payout process is executed in step S16, and the process proceeds to step S10. Return.

Gate processing (Figure 5)
In the gate process shown in FIG. 5, it is monitored whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate GT.
First, in step S20, it is determined whether or not the gate sensor GTS has detected the passing of the game ball. If it is determined NO, the same determination is repeated in step S20. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S20, the process proceeds to step S21, where it is determined whether or not the number of pending drawings is four. In addition to adding 1 to the number of holdings, in the next step S23, the current value of the drawing random number R5 is stored in the drawing holding storage area of the RAM 113, and the process returns to step S20. Also when it is determined YES in step S21, the process returns to step S20.
Here, the common lottery random number R5 is a counter-type software that is sequentially updated in the game program Pg, like the jackpot type lottery random number R2, the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3, and the special figure variable time lottery random number R3. It is a random number and has a numerical value range of 0 to 251.

Normal map processing (Figure 6)
In the general drawing process shown in FIG. 6, the general drawing lottery process based on the general drawing lottery random number R5 acquired when the game ball passes the gate GT and the display control of the general map display device ND according to the lottery result are performed. Run.
First, in step S150, it is determined whether or not the number of pending drawings is 0. If the determination is YES, the same determination is repeated in step S150. On the other hand, if NO is determined, the process proceeds to step S151, and the number of pending drawings is decremented by 1, and in step S152, the drawing lot random number R5 related to the earliest acquisition to be drawn is stored in the working storage area. The saving process for saving and the pre-packing process for the ordinary reserved storage area that has been made free by the saving process are performed. In the next step S153, an ordinary drawing lottery is performed. Specifically, it is determined that the winning lottery random number R5 is 1 to 250, and that the winning lottery R5 is 0 or 251. Therefore, the probability of winning the normal drawing lottery is 250/252.

In the next step S154, it is determined whether or not a short-time game is in progress. If it is determined to be no, the process proceeds to step S155, and if it is determined to be yes, the process proceeds to step S156, and the usual fluctuation time is 30 seconds. Seconds are set, respectively, and in the next step S157, the change of the normal diagram is started. The short-time game will be described later.
In the next step S158, it is determined whether or not the variation time set in step S155 or S156 has elapsed. If it is determined NO, the same determination is repeated in step S158. If it is determined as YES in step S158, the process shifts to step 159 to stop the normal map change. If the win the general map lottery, “7” is displayed. This is displayed on the figure display device ND. Then, in step 160, it is determined whether or not the normal drawing lottery is won. If it is determined to be yes, the process proceeds to step S161 to execute the normal game process, whereas if it is determined to be no. The process returns to step S150.

  Here, the short-time gaming state means that the normal figure change time is reduced from 30 seconds at the time of initialization to 3 seconds, and the opening time of the electric chew 80 in the normal game process described later executed at the time of the general drawing lottery win. A game state that is longer than the time of initialization. Therefore, in the short-time gaming state, the electric chew 80 is frequently opened for a long time compared to the non-short-time gaming state at the time of initialization, and as a result, the winning at the second start port 82 is non-short-time. It becomes easier than the gaming state. In this embodiment, the probability of winning the normal drawing lottery is constant regardless of the non-short-time gaming state and the short-time gaming state, but the winning probability of the normal drawing lottery during the short-time gaming state is higher than in the non-short-time gaming state. May be set higher.

Normal game processing (Figure 7)
The normal game process shown in FIG. 7 is executed when the symbol “7” indicating that the symbol drawing is won is stopped and displayed on the symbol display device ND after the symbol variation on the symbol display device ND. Control relating to the opening of the electric Chu 80 is executed.
First, in step S170, it is determined whether or not a short-time game is in progress. If the determination is yes, in step S171, the maximum opening time is set to 1.5 seconds and the maximum opening frequency is set to 3, while it is determined to be no. In this case, in step S172, the maximum opening time is set to 0.5 seconds and the maximum opening frequency is set to 1. In the following step S173, 9 is set as the maximum count number, 1 is set as the number of opening times in step S174, and 0 is set in the count number in step S175. Then, in the next step S176, the electric chew drive unit 80D is driven to open the electric chew 80, and the measurement of the open time is started.

  While the electric chute 80 is open, it is determined in step S177 whether the winning sensor 82S of the second start port 82 has detected a winning. If YES, the process proceeds to step S178 and the count is incremented by one. In addition, in the next step S179, it is determined whether or not the count number is equal to or greater than the maximum count number. When it is determined YES in step S179, the process proceeds to step S180, and the electric chew driving unit 80D is driven to close the electric chew 80.

  On the other hand, if it is determined NO in steps S177 and S179, it is determined in step S181 whether or not the maximum opening time has elapsed after opening the electric chew 80. If YES is determined, step S182 is determined. In step S183, the electric chew 80 is closed and the process proceeds to step S183. On the other hand, if NO is determined, the process returns to step S177. In the next step S183, it is determined whether or not the number of times of opening is equal to the maximum number of times of opening. If NO is determined, 1 is added to the number of times of opening and time counting is started in step S184. In the next step S185, it is determined whether or not the interval time has elapsed. If it is determined yes, the process returns to step S186. If it is determined no, the same determination is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S183, the normal game process is terminated and the process returns.

Special figure processing (Figure 8)
In the special figure processing shown in FIG. 8, based on the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number, whether or not to start special figure fluctuation, It is determined which of the first special figure display device SD1 and the second special figure display device SD2 starts the special figure change.
First, in step S30, it is determined whether or not the number of second special figure hold is 0, and if it is determined to be no, the process proceeds to the second special figure process of step S33, and the step after the completion of the second special figure process Return to S30. On the other hand, if it is determined yes, it is determined in step S31 whether or not the number of first special figure hold is 0. If it is determined yes, the process returns to step S30, whereas if it is determined no. Then, the process proceeds to the first special figure process of step S32, and returns to step S30 after the completion of the first special figure process.
As is clear from FIG. 8, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, the special figure variation is not executed simultaneously in the first special figure display device SD1 and the second special figure display device SD2. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present invention, when the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number are not zero, the second special figure display rather than the special figure change in the first special figure display device SD1. A so-called electric chew priority digestion function that preferentially executes special map fluctuations in the device SD2 is installed.

First special figure processing (Figure 9 )
In the first special figure process shown in FIG. 9, various lottery processes based on various random numbers acquired at the time of winning the first starting port 81, and display control of the first special figure display device SD1 according to the results of the various lottery processes. And execute.
First, in step S41, 1 is subtracted from the number of first special figure hold, and in the next step S42, each random number value R1 to R4 related to the earliest acquisition as a lottery target is saved in the work storage area. The evacuation process and the pre-packing process of the first special figure reservation storage area that has been made free by the evacuation process are performed. In the next step S43, the first special drawing lottery process based on the jackpot lottery random number R1 and the big hit type lottery random number R2, and in step S44, the first special drawing based on the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 and the special figure variable time lottery random number R4. Perform variable time lottery processing.

In the first special drawing lottery process, based on the value of the jackpot lottery random number R1, the jackpot lottery process for determining whether or not to execute the jackpot game is executed, and if the jackpot lottery is won, Based on the value of R2, the first special figure jackpot type lottery process for determining the type of jackpot game to be executed is executed.
Specifically, in the jackpot lottery process, first, it is determined whether or not it is in a probable change state, and if it is determined to be no, that is, in a non-probability change state, in the non-probability change state in which four winning determination values are stored. If it is determined that the jackpot lottery table is yes, the jackpot lottery table in the probability variation state in which 40 winning determination values are stored is referred to, and the value of the jackpot lottery random number R1 is stored in each jackpot lottery table. If it matches with any of the winning determination values, it is determined to win, and if it does not match any of the winning determination values, it is determined to be out of play. Accordingly, the probability of winning the jackpot lottery is 1/300 in the non-probable variation state, and 1/30 of the non-probability variation state, which is 10 times the non-probability variation state.

Also, in the first special figure jackpot type lottery process executed when the above-mentioned jackpot lottery is won, the first special figure jackpot type lottery table shown in FIG. Depending on the value of, will win lottery type. That is, when the value of the jackpot type lottery random number R2 is 0-9, the jackpot type 1 is set, when the value is 10-49, the jackpot type 2 is set, and when the value is 50-99, the jackpot type 3 is set. Accordingly, the distribution probabilities of the jackpot types 1, 2, and 3 are 10%, 40%, and 50%, respectively. Here, jackpot types 1 and 3 are probabilistic jackpots that shift to a probability change state after the jackpot game ends, while jackpot type 2 is a nonprobability jackpots (hereinafter referred to as normal jackpots) that shift to a non-probability state after the jackpot game ends. It is also called). Therefore, after the jackpot game is over, the probability of shifting to the probability variation gaming state (hereinafter referred to as probability variation entry rate) is 60%. In the case of a promising jackpot, after the jackpot game is over, the time is reduced until the next jackpot. In the case of a normal jackpot, after the jackpot game is over, the first and second special figure display devices SD1 and SD2 are disengaged. Transition to a short time state with a limited number of times to continue until it is stopped.
In the following, the jackpot type 1 jackpot will be called a sudden probability change (or sudden) jackpot, the jackpot type 2 jackpot will be referred to as a normal high hitting jackpot, and the jackpot type 3 jackpot will be referred to as a high hitting jackpot bonus jackpot.
The result of the first special figure lottery process is stored in the RAM 113 as an internal winning number. Specifically, the internal winning number is set to 0 when it is out of the above jackpot lottery, while when it is won, it is a jackpot type determined by the subsequent first special figure jackpot type lottery, ie, 1 to 3 Either one is set.

In the first special figure variable time lottery process of step S44, when the above-mentioned jackpot lottery is won, that is, when the internal winning number is 1 to 3, the internal winning number and the special figure variable time lottery random number R4 are Accordingly, the special figure variation time in the first special figure display device SD1 is determined.
FIG. 11 (a) shows a special figure variable time lottery table TA that is referred to when the internal winning number is 1, that is, when the winning number is a big hit, regardless of the value of the special figure changing time lottery random number R4. Therefore, the variation pattern number 19 is selected.
FIG. 11 (b) shows the special figure fluctuation time lottery table TB to be referred to when the internal winning number is 2 or 3, that is, the high output ball jackpot. One of the fluctuation pattern numbers 12 to 18 is selected according to the value of the lottery random number R4.

On the other hand, if the player wins the big win lottery, that is, if the internal winning number is 0, the pseudo jackpot according to the current game state, the current number of special figure holds, and the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 After the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery process for deciding whether or not to execute the effect, the first special bonus game lottery result is determined according to the result of the pseudo jackpot lottery, the current gaming state, and the value of the special figure variable time lottery random number R4. The special figure fluctuation time in the figure display device SD1 is determined.
FIG. 12A shows a pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery table referred to during non-short-time games, and FIG. 12B shows a pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery table referenced during time-short games.
As is clear from FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the winning probability of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is higher when the number of special figure reservations is zero or smaller than when there are many special figure reservations, and with the same special figure reservation number. In comparison, it is set to be higher during non-short-time games than during short-time games.

Then, when the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is won, the special figure fluctuation time lottery table Tc shown in FIG. 13 is referred to, and the special figure fluctuation time lottery is performed according to the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R4. As a result, any one of the variation pattern numbers 4 to 11 is selected. Further, the average special chart when winning the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery calculated from the special figure fluctuation time lottery table Tc shown in FIG. 13 and the special figure fluctuation times corresponding to the fluctuation pattern numbers 4 to 11 shown in FIG. The variation time is 36.24 seconds.
On the other hand, if the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is off, refer to the special figure variable time lottery table Td shown in FIG. 14 (a) during non-short-time games and FIG. 14 (b) during short-time games, respectively. A special figure variable time lottery is performed according to the value of the variable time lottery random number R4. As a result, any one of the variation pattern numbers 1 to 3 is selected during the non-short-time game, and any one of the variation pattern numbers 0 to 3 is selected during the time-short game. In addition, a pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery calculated from the special figure fluctuation time lottery table Td shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B and the special figure fluctuation times corresponding to the fluctuation pattern numbers 0 to 3 shown in FIG. The average special figure change time during non-short-time game in the case of losing is 7.23 seconds, and the average special figure change time during time-short game is 4.81 seconds.
As described above, the average special figure fluctuation time is set to be shorter when the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is out of comparison with the winning case.
Next, continuous effect execution determination processing is performed in step S45 shown in FIG.

Continuous production execution determination process (FIG. 15)
As shown in FIG. 15, in the continuous effect execution determination process, first, in step S61, it is determined whether or not the continuous effect flag is 1, that is, whether or not the continuous effect is being executed. If NO is determined, it is determined in step S62 whether or not the variation pattern number as a result of the first special figure variation time lottery is 3 or less. If NO is determined in step S62, the process returns. If YES is determined, the process proceeds to a true continuous effect execution determination process in step S63.
Here, the true continuous effect means that one or more jackpot lottery random numbers R1 and jackpot type lottery random numbers R2 stored in the special figure holding storage area, This is a continuous effect that is executed to notify the player of this when there are random number values R1 and R2 that should be determined to be the ball jackpot.
On the other hand, the false continuous effect described later is a random value that should be determined as a result of the subsequent special drawing lottery as a result of all the one or more jackpot lottery random numbers R1 stored in the special figure holding storage area. Despite being there, it is a continuous performance.

As shown in FIG. 16, in the true continuous effect execution determination process, first, it is determined whether or not the time-saving game is being performed in step S71. If it is determined that the current number of second special figure hold is set to N in step S73, the process proceeds to step S74. In step S74, it is determined whether or not the special figure holding number N is 0. If NO is determined, the counter C is set to 1 in step S75 and the process proceeds to step S77. If YES is determined, To return.
Although omitted from FIG. 16, in each process described in step S77 and after, in the case of a non-time-saving game, one or a plurality of random numbers R1 to R1 stored in the first special figure holding storage area are stored. If only R4 (hereinafter referred to as the first special figure reservation random number) is in a short-time game, one or a plurality of random numbers R1 to R4 (hereinafter referred to as the second special figure reservation random number) stored in the second special figure reservation storage area. Refer to only random numbers). Hereinafter, among the random number values R1 to R4 stored in the special figure holding storage areas, the random number values acquired for the Nth are described as R1 (N) to R4 (N).

In step S76, referring to the values of the jackpot lottery random number R1 (C), the jackpot type lottery random number R2 (C), and the special figure variable time lottery random number R4 (C), the result of the subsequent special chart variable time lottery process, It is determined whether or not the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 are selected. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not it is in a probabilistic state. If it is in a non-probable variation state, a jackpot lottery table in the non-probable variation state, and if it is in a probabilistic variation state, respectively It is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot lottery random number R1 (C) matches any of the winning determination values stored in the selected jackpot lottery table. If it is determined that the numbers match, it is further determined whether or not the jackpot type is 2 or 3, that is, whether or not it is a high hitting jackpot, based on the jackpot type lottery random number R2 (C). Specifically, in the case of the first special figure holding random number, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), depending on the value of the big hit type lottery random number R2 (C), there may be a sudden big hit. It is determined whether the jackpot type lottery random number R2 (C) is 10 or more. On the other hand, in the case of the second special figure holding random number, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), since it becomes a high hitting big hit regardless of the value of the big hit type lottery random number R2 (C), this determination is skipped.
When it is determined that the jackpot type is 2 or 3, it is further determined whether or not the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 are selected based on the special figure variation time lottery random number R4 (C). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11B, depending on the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R4 (C), the fluctuation pattern numbers 12 to 14 may be selected. It is determined whether or not the value of the fluctuation time lottery random number R4 (C) is 38 or more.

If it is determined NO in step S76, the process proceeds to step S78, where it is determined whether the counter C has reached the current number N of special figure reservations. As a result of confirming the figure on-hold random number, if it is determined that none of the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 is selected, the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined no, the process proceeds to step S80, where 1 is added to the counter C to confirm the figure on-hold random number, and the process returns to step S76.
On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S76, that is, if it is determined that the random number value that will be a high hitting ball jackpot and the variable pattern numbers 15 to 18 are selected is on hold, step S77. , The counter I is set to 1. At this time, the counter C is set with the special figure holding number in which the random number values R1 to R4 for which the high hitting ball jackpot and the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 are selected are stored.

In the next step S82, it is determined whether or not the counter I has reached the counter C. If NO is determined, the process proceeds to step S82, and the jackpot lottery random number R1 (I) and the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3. With reference to the value of (I), it is determined whether or not the variation pattern numbers 0 to 3 are selected as a result of the special drawing variation time lottery process.
Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not it is in a probabilistic state. If it is in a non-probable variation state, a jackpot lottery table in the non-probable variation state, and if it is in a probabilistic variation state, respectively It is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot lottery random number R1 (C) matches any of the winning determination values stored in the selected jackpot lottery table.

If it is determined that they do not coincide with each other, it is further determined based on the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (I) whether or not the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is disregarded regardless of the special figure holding number at the start of the change. to decide. As shown in FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the probability of winning the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery varies depending on the number of special figure reservations at the time of the lottery execution, and the number of special figure reservations at the time of lottery execution is determined in advance. However, it seems impossible to determine in advance whether or not to win the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery, but during the non-short-time game shown in FIG. If the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (I) is 36 or more, and the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (I) is 19 or more during the short-time game shown in FIG. Regardless of the number of special figure hold at the time of special drawing fluctuation lottery execution, it will be out of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery. Further, when the lottery is not the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery, as shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b), the variation pattern number is changed according to the gaming state and the value of the special figure variation time lottery random number R4 (I). Any one of 0 to 3 is selected.
Therefore, if the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (I) is 36 or more during the non-time-saving game and the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (I) is 19 or more during the time-saving game, the fluctuation pattern It can be known in advance that the numbers 0 to 3 are selected.

  If it is determined as YES in step S82 of FIG. 16, 1 is added to the counter I to confirm the next special figure holding random number, and the process returns to step S81. When it is determined YES in step S81, that is, when the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 are selected in the next special diagram variation after the special diagram variation to be started, or the special diagram variation to be started from now on. When the variation pattern numbers 0 to 3 are selected one or more times continuously from the next special figure variation, and the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 are selected thereafter, the continuous effect flag is set in step S84. Set 1 and return.

FIG. 17 shows the result of the special figure fluctuation time lottery for the special figure fluctuation to be started and the special figure fluctuation after each suspension when the continuous production flag is set to 1 in the true continuous production production execution determination process. The result obtained by the time lottery process is shown.
As apparent from FIG. 17, the continuous effect flag is set to 1 in the true continuous effect effect execution determination process only when the following three conditions are satisfied.
(Condition 1) As a result of the special figure fluctuation time lottery process for the special figure fluctuation to be started, one of the fluctuation pattern numbers 0 to 3 is selected.
(Condition 2) As a result of referring to each random value R1 to R4 corresponding to each reserved storage in advance, one of the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 is selected in the later special drawing variation time lottery process. Is on hold.
(Condition 3) As a result of referring in advance to each random value R1 to R4 corresponding to each reserved memory for which special figure fluctuation is to be executed prior to holding satisfying the above condition 2, a special characteristic after corresponding to each reserved memory is obtained. As a result of the drawing variation time lottery processing, any one of the variation pattern numbers 0 to 3 is selected regardless of the number of special figure reservations.

After the true continuous production effect execution determination process, as shown in FIG. 15, it is determined in step S64 whether or not the continuous production flag is 1, and if it is determined to be yes, the process returns. Then, the process proceeds to the false continuous effect execution determination process in step S65, and returns after the false continuous effect execution determination process ends.
As shown in FIG. 18, in the false continuous production execution determination process, it is first determined in step S91 whether or not the time-short game is in progress. If it is determined that the current number of second special figure hold is set to N in step S93, the process proceeds to step S94. In step S94, it is determined whether or not the special figure holding number N is 0. If NO is determined, the counter C is set to 1 in step S95 and the process proceeds to step S96. If YES is determined, To return.
In each process described in step S96 and subsequent steps, similarly to the above-described true continuous effect execution determination process, only the first special figure hold random number is in the case of non-time-saving game, and the second special figure hold random number is in the time-short game. Only refer to.

In step S96, with reference to the values of the jackpot lottery random number R1 (C), the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (C), and the special figure variable time lottery random number R4 (C), the following special figure variable time lottery process is performed. As a result, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern numbers 7 to 11 are selected. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not it is in a probabilistic state. If it is in a non-probable variation state, a jackpot lottery table in the non-probable variation state, and if it is in a probabilistic variation state, respectively It is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot lottery random number R1 (C) matches any of the winning determination values stored in the selected jackpot lottery table. If it is determined that they do not coincide with each other, whether or not to win the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery based on the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (C) regardless of the special figure holding number at the start of the fluctuation. Judging. As shown in FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the probability of winning the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery varies depending on the number of special figure hold at the time of lottery execution, and the number of special figure hold at the time of lottery execution is determined in advance. However, it seems impossible to determine in advance whether or not to win the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery, but during the non-short-time game shown in FIG. If the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (C) is less than 19 and the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (C) is less than 6 during the short-time game shown in FIG. Regardless of the number of special maps held at the time of special drawing fluctuation lottery execution, the winning lottery for the pseudo jackpot effect will be won.
Therefore, if the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (I) is less than 19 during the non-time-saving game and the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (I) is less than 6 during the time-saving game, the pseudo jackpot It is possible to grasp in advance that the production execution lottery will be won.

  Then, based on the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 (C), if it is determined that the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is won regardless of the number of special figure holding at the start of the fluctuation, the special figure variable time lottery random number R4 Based on (C), it is determined whether or not the variation pattern numbers 7 to 11 are selected as a result of the special figure variation time lottery process. When winning the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery, since the special figure fluctuation time lottery table shown in FIG. 13 is used, the special pattern fluctuation time lottery random number R4 (C) is selected as the fluctuation pattern numbers 7 to 11. It is determined whether it is included in the numerical value range, i.e., 1692 or more.

As a result of the above determination, when it is determined NO in step S96, the process proceeds to step S98, where it is determined whether the counter C has reached the current special figure holding number N. As a result of confirming each of the N special figure reservation random numbers, if it is determined that none of the variation pattern numbers 7 to 11 is selected, the process returns. If not, the process proceeds to step S99. Then, 1 is added to the counter C to confirm the next special figure holding random number, and the process returns to step S96.
On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S96, that is, if it is determined that the random value for which the variation pattern numbers 7 to 11 are selected is within the hold, the process proceeds to step S97 and the counter I Set 1 to. At this time, the counter C is set with the special figure hold number in which the random number values R1 to R4 for which the variation pattern numbers 7 to 11 are selected are stored.
In addition, since the process after step S97 is the same as the process after step S77 of the true continuous production effect execution determination process shown in FIG. 16, description is abbreviate | omitted.

FIG. 19 shows the special drawing variation time lottery result for the special drawing change to be started and the special drawing change after each hold when the continuous production flag is set to 1 in the false continuous production production execution determination process. The result obtained by the time lottery process is shown.
As is clear from FIG. 19, the continuous effect flag is set to 1 in the false continuous effect effect execution determination process only when the following three conditions are satisfied.
(Condition 1) As a result of the special figure fluctuation time lottery process for the special figure fluctuation to be started, one of the fluctuation pattern numbers 0 to 3 is selected.
(Condition 2) As a result of referring to each random value R1 to R4 corresponding to each reserved storage in advance, one of the variation pattern numbers 7 to 11 is selected in the later special drawing variation time lottery process. Is on hold.
(Condition 3) As a result of referring in advance to each random value R1 to R4 corresponding to each reserved memory to be executed prior to the reservation satisfying the above condition 2, the special figure variable time lottery corresponding to each reserved memory As a result of the processing, any one of the variation pattern numbers 0 to 3 is selected regardless of the number of special figure holds.

  After the false continuous effect production execution determination process, the process returns as shown in FIG. 15, and step S46 of the first special figure process shown in FIG. 9 is executed. In step S46, a first special figure variation start command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. The first special figure variation start command includes an internal winning flag as a result of the special figure lottery, a fluctuation pattern number as a result of the special figure fluctuation time lottery, and a continuous production flag as a result of determining whether or not to execute the continuous production. Are included, and the sub-control unit 120 determines the content of the effect to be executed by the effect display device 70 in accordance with these. Details of the control executed by the sub-control unit 120 will be described later.

  In the next step S47, referring to the special figure fluctuation time setting table shown in FIG. 20, the first special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern number determined in the first special figure fluctuation time lottery process of step S44 is set. Thereafter, the special figure change is started in the first special figure display device SD1, and the measurement of the first special figure change time is started. In the next step S48, it is determined whether or not the measurement result of the first special figure fluctuation time has reached the first special figure fluctuation time set in step S47. On the other hand, if the determination is repeated, if the determination is YES, in step S49, the first special figure variation stop command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120, and in step S50, the special figure on the first special figure display device SD1 is transmitted. The change is stopped and the symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag is fixedly displayed. Specifically, when the big win lottery is won, that is, when the internal winning flag is not 0, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), among the “3”, “7” and “F” according to the internal winning flag. When any of the jackpot symbols is out of the jackpot lottery, that is, when the internal winning flag is 0, the winning symbol “-(bar)” is fixedly displayed on the first special symbol display device SD1.

In the next step S51, it is determined whether or not the continuous effect flag is 1, that is, whether or not the continuous effect is being performed. If YES is determined, the variation pattern numbers 7 to 11 and 15 to 18 are determined in step S52. It is determined whether or not it is a change pattern number to be executed at the end of the continuous effect. If it is determined to be YES, the continuous effect flag is cleared to 0 in step S53 and the process proceeds to step S54. Transition. On the other hand, when it is determined NO in steps S51 and S52, the process proceeds to step S54.
In step S54, it is determined whether or not the big win lottery is won, that is, whether or not the internal winning flag is 0. If the answer is YES, the process returns to the big win game processing of step S55 while returning. If it is determined, the process returns to the time reduction number update process in step S56. The time reduction number update process and the jackpot game process will be described later.

Second special drawing process (Fig. 21)
In the second special figure process shown in FIG. 21, various lottery processes based on various random numbers acquired at the time of winning the second starting port 82, and display control of the second special figure display device SD2 according to the results of the various lottery processes. And execute.
First, in step S110, 1 is subtracted from the number of the second special figure hold, and in the next step S111, the random number values R1 to R4 related to the earliest acquisition to be drawn are saved in the work storage area. The evacuation process and the pre-packing process of the second special figure reservation storage area that has been made free by the evacuation process are performed. In the next step S112, the second special drawing lottery process based on the jackpot lottery random number R1 and the big hit type lottery random number R2, and in step S113, the first special drawing based on the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3 and the special figure variable time lottery random number R4. Perform variable time lottery processing.

In the second special drawing lottery process, the jackpot lottery process for determining whether or not to execute the jackpot game is executed based on the value of the jackpot lottery random number R1, and when the jackpot lottery is won, Based on the value of R2, the second special figure jackpot type lottery process for determining the type of jackpot game to be executed is executed.
The jackpot lottery process is the same as the first special figure lottery process in step 43 of the first special figure process shown in FIG. Further, in the second special figure jackpot type lottery process executed when the jackpot lottery is won, the value of the big hit type lottery random number R2 is referred to by referring to the second special figure jackpot type lottery table shown in FIG. Depending on, the jackpot type will be drawn. That is, when the value of the jackpot type lottery random number R2 is 0 to 39, the jackpot type is 2, and when the value is 40 to 99, the jackpot type is 3. Therefore, the distribution probabilities of the jackpot types 2 and 3 are 40% and 60%, respectively. As is clear from the comparison between FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), in the second special figure jackpot type lottery table, the jackpot type 1 jackpot, that is, the sudden jackpot, is not distributed, and all Become. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, the above-mentioned electric chew priority digestion function is used in order to preferentially digest the second special figure, which has a larger expected value that can be obtained in the jackpot game, than the first special figure. It is installed.

In the second special figure variable time lottery process of the next step S115, when the above-mentioned jackpot lottery is won, that is, when the internal winning number is 2 or 3, refer to the special figure variable time lottery table Te shown in FIG. Then, any one of the fluctuation pattern numbers 15 to 18 is selected according to the value of the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R4.
If the player wins the big win lottery, that is, if the internal winning number is 0, the process branches according to the current gaming state. That is, when the current gaming state is a short-time game, as in the first special figure variable time lottery process in step 44 of the first special figure process shown in FIG. 9, the short-time game shown in FIG. When referring to the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery table and performing the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery according to the current second special figure hold number and the value of the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery random number R3, and then winning the lottery The special figure fluctuation time lottery table Tc shown in FIG. 13 is referred to, and when the special figure fluctuation time lottery table Td shown in FIG. Accordingly, the second special figure variation time is determined. As a result, any one of the variation pattern numbers 0 to 11 is selected.
On the other hand, if the current gaming state is a non-temporary game, the pseudo jackpot effect execution lottery is not performed, and the special figure fluctuation time lottery random number R4 is referred to by referring to the special figure fluctuation time lottery table Td shown in FIG. The second special figure variation time is determined according to the value. As a result, any one of the variation pattern numbers 1 to 3 is selected.

As described above, during the non-temporary game, the time for changing the normal figure is long, so the efficiency of digesting the normal figure is poor, and even if the winner of the general drawing lottery is won, the opening time of the electric Chu 80 is extremely short. It is rare to win 82, but when winning, since the electric chew priority digestion function is installed, the second special figure fluctuation corresponding to the prize has priority over the first special figure fluctuation. Will be executed.
Accordingly, if a winning is generated at the second start port 82 during execution of the continuous production during the non-short-time game, the corresponding second special figure fluctuation interrupts the continuous production. However, as described above, when the jackpot lottery corresponding to the second special figure variation is won, one of the variation pattern numbers 15 to 18 to be executed at the end of the continuous performance is selected, and as a result, the steps described later are performed. In S120 and S121, it is determined as YES, and the continuous performance is ended. On the other hand, even when the big hit lottery corresponding to the second special figure variation is lost, any one of the variation pattern numbers 1 to 3 to be executed other than the last of the continuous performance is selected, and the continuous performance continues. Therefore, even if a winning at the second start port 82 occurs during execution of the continuous production during the non-short-time game, the execution of the continuous production will not be hindered.

  In addition, even if a winning at the first start port 81 occurs during execution of continuous production during a short-time game, the first special figure does not change unless the second special figure holding number becomes 0, and the above-mentioned As described above, during the short-time game, it is determined whether or not the transition to the continuous production is made with reference to only the second special figure holding random number. Will not continue. Therefore, even if a winning at the first start port 81 occurs during the execution of the continuous production during the short-time game, the execution of the continuous production will not be hindered.

In the next step S114 shown in FIG. 21, continuous effect execution determination processing is performed. The continuous effect execution determination process is the same as the continuous effect execution determination process in step S45 in the first special figure process shown in FIG.
In the next step S115, a second special figure variation start command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. The second special figure fluctuation start command includes an internal winning flag as a result of the second special figure lottery, a fluctuation pattern number as a result of the second special figure fluctuation time lottery, and a determination result of whether or not to execute the continuous effect. The sub-control unit 120 determines the content of the effect to be executed by the effect display device 70 according to these.

  In the next step S116, referring to the special figure fluctuation time setting table shown in FIG. 20, the second special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern number determined in the second special figure fluctuation time lottery process in step S113 is set. Thereafter, the special figure change is started in the second special figure display device SD2, and the measurement of the second special figure change time is started. In the next step S117, it is determined whether or not the measurement result of the second special figure fluctuation time has reached the second special figure fluctuation time set in step S116, and if it is determined to be no, the same in step S117. On the other hand, if the determination is repeated, if the determination is YES, in step S118, a second special figure variation stop command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120, and in step S119, the special figure on the second special figure display device SD2 is transmitted. The change is stopped and the symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag is fixedly displayed. Specifically, when the big winning lottery is won, that is, when the internal winning flag is not 0, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), either of the big winning symbols of “7” or “F” depending on the internal winning flag. However, when the big win lottery is lost, that is, when the internal winning flag is 0, the lost symbol “-(bar)” is fixedly displayed on the second special figure display device SD2.

In the next step S120, it is determined whether or not the continuous effect flag is 1, that is, whether or not the continuous effect is being performed. If YES is determined, the variation pattern numbers 7 to 16 and 20 to 23 are determined in step S121. It is determined whether or not it is a change pattern number to be executed at the end of the continuous effect. If it is determined as YES, the continuous effect flag is cleared to 0 in step S122, and the process proceeds to step S123. Transition. On the other hand, when it is determined NO in steps S120 and S121, the process proceeds to step S123.
In step S123, it is determined whether or not the big winning lottery has been won, that is, whether or not the internal winning flag is 0. If it is determined to be yes, the process returns to the big hit game processing in step S124, while returning. If it is determined, the process returns to the time-saving count update process in step S125.

Jackpot game processing (Figure 23)
The jackpot game process shown in FIG. 23 is a jackpot symbol indicating that the first or second special chart display device SD1 or SD2 has won the jackpot lottery after the special chart change in the first or second special chart display device SD1 or SD2. The control related to the jackpot game that is executed when is stopped is displayed.
First, in step S130, a jackpot game start command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. The sub-control unit 120 that has received the jackpot game start command starts the jackpot effect on the effect display device 70. Then, in the next step S131, the maximum number of rounds and the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 9 are set according to the jackpot type (internal winning flag), and winning to the big winning opening 9 permitted in each round is set. Set the maximum number of counts. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, when the jackpot type is 1, 2 is set as the maximum number of rounds and 0.5 second is set as the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 9. When the jackpot type is 2 or 3, 15 is set as the maximum number of rounds, and 30 seconds is set as the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 22. The maximum count is set to 9 regardless of the jackpot type.
In step S132, the round number is set to 1 and in step S133, the count number is set to 0. Then, in step S134, the open / close plate driving unit 90D is driven to open the grand prize opening 9 and to open. Start measuring time.

  While the grand prize opening 9 is being opened, it is determined in step S135 whether the grand prize opening prize sensor 9S has detected a prize. If it is determined as YES, the process proceeds to step S136 and 1 is added to the count number. At the next step S137, it is determined whether or not the count number is equal to or greater than the maximum count number. If it is determined YES in step S137, the process proceeds to step S139, and the open / close plate driving unit 90D is driven to close the special winning opening 9. On the other hand, when it is determined NO in step S135 and step S137, the process proceeds to step S138, and it is determined whether or not the maximum opening time has elapsed after the special winning opening 9 is opened. In step S139, the open / close plate driving unit 90D is driven to close the special winning opening 9, but if it is determined NO, the process returns to step S135.

After closing the winning prize slot 9 in step S139, it is determined in step S140 whether or not the number of rounds is equal to the maximum number of rounds. If it is determined to be no, 1 is added to the number of rounds in step S143. On the other hand, if it is determined YES, the process proceeds to the game state setting process after the jackpot game in step S141. In the game state setting process after the jackpot game, a game state setting process corresponding to the jackpot type is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), when the jackpot type is 1 or 3, when the jackpot type is 2 while shifting to the short-term state that continues to the probable change state and the next jackpot In the non-probability change state and the detachment symbol are stopped 100 times in total, the state is shifted to the short time state with a limited number of times.
Then, in the next step S142, a jackpot game end command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120, and the process returns. The sub-control unit 120 that has received the jackpot game end command ends the jackpot effect being executed on the effect display device 70.

Time reduction number update processing (step S56 in FIG. 9, step S125 in FIG. 21)
In the time reduction number update process, it is determined whether or not the time limit state with the number of times is limited. If the time limit state with the number of times is limited, the first and second special figure display devices SD1 and SD2 are disconnected. The total number of times that is stopped and displayed is counted, and when the count result is 100 times, the time-saving state is terminated and the state is shifted to the non-time-saving state.

  Next, in synchronization with the special figure fluctuations in the first and second special figure display devices SD1 and SD2, the various special figure fluctuation effects executed by the effect display device 70 and the special figure fluctuation effects are executed at the time of execution. A processing procedure executed by the CPU 121 of the control unit 120 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, an outline of the special figure variation effect will be described. The special figure variation effect is an effect accompanied by a change in the effect symbol executed by the effect display device 70 in synchronization with the special figure variation in the first and second special figure display devices SD1 and SD2. In the changing effect, first, the upper symbol row DA, the middle symbol row DB, and the lower symbol row DC shown in FIG. 1 start to change the horizontal scroll from right to left all at once.
After that, the upper symbol row DA, the middle symbol row DB, and the lower symbol row DB stop the horizontal scroll fluctuation, and five predetermined lines composed of three vertical lines w1 to w3 and two diagonal lines w4 to w5. A predetermined symbol combination according to the internal winning flag is fixedly displayed on the active line.
24 (a) to 24 (c) respectively show the symbol arrangement of the upper symbol row DA, the middle symbol row DB, and the lower symbol row DC, and the symbol arrangement of the upper symbol row DA and the middle symbol row DB is from the left. The numerical symbols 1 to 8 are arranged in ascending order toward the right, and “☆” (hereinafter referred to as a blank symbol br) is arranged between the numerical symbols. On the other hand, the symbol array of the lower symbol sequence DC is configured by arranging 8 to 1 numerical symbols in descending order from left to right and arranging a blank symbol br between the numerical symbols. In addition, when the upper symbol row DA, the middle symbol row DB, and the lower symbol row DC all reach the right end symbol of each symbol arrangement, the left end symbol is returned, and this is repeated in a loop to change the horizontal scrolling. Realized.

FIG. 25 shows the correspondence between the variation pattern number and the type of special figure variation effect executed on the effect display device 70, the internal winning flag and the continuous effect flag, and finally confirmed on the effective lines w1 to w5. The correspondence with the final stop symbol displayed is shown.
As shown in FIG. 25, when the internal winning flag is 2, that is, in the case of a high hitting ball normal jackpot, the final stop symbols are 6 number symbols excluding 3, 5 and 7 on any of the effective lines w1 to w5 It is set to the Zoro eyes design combination that matches. In addition, when the internal winning flag is 3, that is, when the high winning ball probability change big hit, the final stop symbol is one of the eight numeric symbols 1 to 8, and any numeric symbol is one of the effective lines w1 to w5. It is set to a combination of Zoro eyes that are aligned at the top. Therefore, when 3, 5 or 7 is aligned on any of the effective lines w1 to w5, the high output ball probability variation jackpot is determined, while any of the 5 number symbols excluding 3, 5 and 7 If any of the number symbols are aligned on any of the effective lines w1 to w5, it will be confirmed that it will be a big hit big hit, but it is not possible to determine whether it is a normal big hit or a probable big hit depending on the final stop symbol. It is said.
Furthermore, when the internal winning flag is 1, that is, when the winning big hit is, the final stop symbol is a symbol combination in which “357” is arranged in the order of the upper, middle, and lower rows on any of the effective lines w1 to w5 (hereinafter referred to as “accurate”). It is set as a symbol combination).

On the other hand, when the internal winning flag is 0, that is, when it is off, the final stop symbol is set to any one of the symbol combinations other than the above-mentioned symbol combination and sudden symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as a deviating symbol combination). However, certain constraint conditions are provided for the final stop symbol in accordance with the variation pattern number and the continuous performance flag.
The special figure variation effects that are executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 0 to 3 are the same when the upper symbol row DA and the lower symbol row DC are stopped. This is a special figure variation effect that does not go through a so-called reach state. Accordingly, the final stop symbol is set to any one of a plurality of non-reach type out symbol combinations in which the same numerical symbols are not arranged in the upper and lower stages on each of the effective lines w1 to w5. In addition, when the continuous production flag is 1, that is, when the continuous production is in progress, the final stop symbol is any numerical symbol in descending order from the upper stage to the lower stage among the plurality of combinations of non-reach-type outliers. Special non-reach type out symbol combinations arranged on the effective lines w1 to w5, specifically, six special non-reach type out symbol combinations 123, 234, 345, 456, 567 and 678 from the top to the bottom ( (Hereinafter referred to as “chance”). On the other hand, when the continuous performance flag is 0, that is, when the continuous performance is not in progress, the final stop symbol is one of a plurality of other non-reach type out symbol combinations other than the pattern from which the chance eyes are derived. Is set.

In addition, since the special figure variation effect executed when the variation pattern number is 4 to 11 is a special figure variation effect in which the out-of-combination symbol combination is finally displayed after passing through the reach state, As for the stop symbols, the same number symbols are arranged in the upper and lower stages on any of the effective lines w1 to w5, and in the middle, among the plural types of reach-type out-of-pattern combinations that become symbols other than the same number symbols. Set to either.
As described above, the chance is derived only when the variation pattern number 0 to 3 is selected during the continuous performance, and is set so as not to be derived in other cases. Is derived, it is determined that continuous production is in progress. For this reason, the player can discriminate that the continuous production has been started with the derivation of the chance item, and the sense of expectation for the high payout in jackpot increases.
Details of the contents of each special figure variation effect will be described later.

Next, a processing procedure executed by the CPU 121 of the sub-control unit 120 when executing the special figure variation effect will be described.
Special figure variation effect processing (Figure 26)
In the special figure variation effect process shown in FIG. 26, the control related to the special figure variation effect to be executed by the effect display device 70 in synchronization with the special figure variation in the first special figure display device SD1 and the second special figure display device SD2. I do.
First, in step S201, it is determined whether the first or second special figure change start command has been received. If it is determined to be no, the same determination is repeated in step S201, while if it is determined to be yes. Shifts to step S202 to determine whether or not the variation pattern number included in the first or second special figure variation start command is 3 or less. If it is determined as YES in step S202, the process proceeds to step S203 to determine whether or not the continuous effect flag included in the first or second special figure change start command is 1, and if YES is determined. The process proceeds to step S204, and the final stop symbol is set as a chance symbol. On the other hand, if it is determined to be no, the procedure proceeds to step S205 to set a non-reach type off symbol excluding the chance symbol as the final stop symbol. The process proceeds to S207. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S202, the process proceeds to step S206, and as described above, the final stop symbol is set according to the internal winning flag and the variation pattern number, and the process proceeds to step S207.

  In step S207, the special figure variation effect of the type (pattern) corresponding to the internal winning flag and the variation pattern number is started. Note that the first and second special figure fluctuation times for each of the plurality of fluctuation pattern numbers shown in FIG. 20 are set in accordance with the execution time of each special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to each fluctuation pattern number. Then, the process proceeds to step S208, where it is determined whether the first or second special figure fluctuation stop command has been received. If it is determined NO, the same determination is repeated in step S208, while YES is determined. If so, the final stop symbol set in steps S204 to 206 is confirmed and displayed, the special figure variation effect is terminated, and the process returns.

Next, the contents of each special figure variation effect will be described.
In the upper, middle and lower simultaneous stop / off patterns executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 0, first, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a) and 28 (a), all the symbol arrays DA to DC simultaneously undergo high-speed horizontal scroll fluctuation. When all the symbol sequences DA to DC stop changing at the same time and the continuous performance flag is 1, the chance is as shown in FIG. ), Non-reach out-of-reach symbol combinations excluding chances are derived.

  In addition, in the upper / lower stage simultaneous stop reach-less deviation pattern executed when the variation pattern number is 1, first, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a) and 28 (a), all the symbol arrays DA to DC are simultaneously moved at a high speed. Scroll variation starts, and then, as shown in FIGS. 27 (c) and 28 (c), the upper symbol row DA and the lower symbol row DC simultaneously stop changing, and finally the middle symbol DB stops changing. When the continuous effect flag is 1, a chance chance is derived as shown in FIG. 27 (d), and when it is 0, a non-reach type out symbol combination excluding the chance eye is derived as shown in FIG. 28 (d).

  Further, in the case of the normal unreachable pattern executed when the variation pattern number is 2 or 3, first, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a) and 28 (a), all the symbol arrays DA to DC are simultaneously scrolled at a high speed. Next, as shown in FIGS. 27 (b) and 28 (b), the upper symbol sequence DA stops changing, and then, as shown in FIGS. 27 (c) and 28 (c), the lower stage. When the symbol sequence DC stops changing, and finally the middle stage symbol sequence DB stops changing, and the continuous performance flag is 1, the chance is as shown in FIG. As shown in (d), a non-reach type out symbol combination excluding the chance eye is derived. In the case where the variation pattern number is 2 and 3, the variation time of the middle symbol row DB is different after the variation of the lower symbol row DC until the middle symbol row DB stops the variation.

  In the short reach loss pattern executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 4 and the short reach per pattern executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 12, first, as shown in FIG. Simultaneously start high-speed horizontal scroll fluctuations, and then, as shown in FIG. 29 (c), the upper symbol row DA and the lower symbol row DC simultaneously stop changing, and the reach state is derived. When the reach state is derived, as shown in FIG. 29 (d), the high-speed fluctuation of the middle symbol row DB is changed to the low-speed fluctuation that can identify the fluctuation symbol. Finally, the low-speed fluctuation of the middle-stage symbol row DB is stopped. When the fluctuation pattern number is 4, the reach-type out-of-line symbol combination is 12 as shown in FIG. As shown in (), the Zoro eyes symbol is derived.

In the normal reach off pattern executed when the variation pattern number is 5, and the normal reach per pattern executed when the variation pattern number is 13, all the symbol sequences DA to DC are simultaneously displayed as shown in FIG. Then, the high-speed horizontal scrolling is started, and thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 29B and 29C, the change is stopped in the order of the upper symbol row DA and the lower symbol row DC, and the reach state is derived. When the reach state is derived, as shown in FIG. 29 (d), the middle symbol row DB transitions from high speed fluctuation to low speed fluctuation. Finally, the low-speed fluctuation of the middle symbol row DB is stopped. When the fluctuation pattern number is 5, the reach-type out-of-line symbol combination is 18 as shown in FIG. As shown in (), the Zoro eyes symbol is derived.
In addition, the long-reach out pattern executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 6 and the per-long reach pattern executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 14, the middle symbol string DB stops changing after the reach state is derived. Except for the long low-speed fluctuation period of the middle-stage symbol sequence DB up to, the above-described normal reach loss pattern executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 5, and the normal reach per-pattern executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 13. Therefore, the description is omitted.

Next, the super reach 1 system pattern executed when the variation pattern numbers are 7, 8, 15, and 16 will be described. Since the reach state derivation shown in FIG. 30A is the same as the above-described normal reach pattern and long reach pattern, description thereof is omitted.
Thereafter, the images are switched, and as shown in FIG. 30B, doors b1 and b2 that are being opened and doorkeepers a1 and a2 that prevent the doors from being opened appear. Then, as shown in FIG. 30 (c), the doorkeepers a1 and a2 are finally blown off, the doors b1 and b2 are opened, and the monster 7B appears from the inside. Further, as shown in FIG. 30 (d), the middle symbol row DB in which the symbol arrangement is changed to only the numeric symbol starts low-speed scroll fluctuation, and the monster 7B swings up both arms. Next, as shown in FIG. 30 (e), at the timing when the symbol 4 frames ahead of the reach symbol reaches the center position, the monster 7B swings down the arms that were raised to crush the symbols on both sides. . Thereafter, the monster 7B shown in FIG. 30 (d) swings up both arms, and the monster 7B shown in FIG. 30 (e) swings down both arms. Repeat for each change. When the variation pattern numbers are 7, 8, and 16, as shown in FIG. 30 (f), when the design different from the reach design reaches the center position, and when the variation pattern number is 15, At the timing when the same symbol as the reach symbol reaches the center position, the posture in which the monster 7B swings down both arms is maintained for a predetermined time.

  And when the variation pattern number is 7, as shown in FIG. 31 (b1), after the door b1, b2 are closed and the door guards a1, a2 are blown away, the reach type out symbol combination is derived, As shown in FIG. 30 (c1), the screen finally returns to the normal screen, a reach-type out symbol combination is derived, and the special figure variation effect is terminated. If the variation pattern number is 15, as shown in FIG. 31 (b2), after the door symbol b1 and b2 are closed together with the image of the closing eyes, the final normal pattern is finally obtained as shown in FIG. 30 (c2). Returning to the screen, the Zoro eyes symbol is derived and the special figure variation effect is finished.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern number is 8 or 16, that is, in the case of the super reach 1 system pattern that develops to the second stage, as shown in FIG. 31 (a), the monster 7B emits the flame fb from the mouth, The same symbol as the reach symbol, the symbol one frame before the reach symbol, and the symbol one frame after the reach symbol are displayed in the flame fb. When the variation pattern number is 8, the design one frame before or after the reach design remains unburned, and as shown in FIG. 31 (b1), the doors b1 and b2 are closed and the door keeper a1, After deriving the reach-type out symbol combination with the video in which a2 is blown off, as shown in FIG. 31 (c1), finally, the screen returns to the normal screen to derive the reach-type out symbol combination, and the special figure variation effect ends. When the variation pattern number is 16, the same design as the reach design remains unburned, and as shown in FIG. 31 (b2), after deriving the zebra eye design along with the video of closing the doors b1 and b2, FIG. As shown in c2), the screen finally returns to the normal screen to derive a double-eye symbol and the special figure variation effect is terminated.

Next, the super reach 2 system pattern executed when the variation pattern numbers are 9, 10, 11, 17, and 18 will be described. Since the reach state derivation shown in FIG. 32A is the same as the above-described normal reach pattern and long reach pattern, description thereof is omitted.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), the closed doors b1 and b2 are switched to an image locked with the lock nj, and a message “Select a key to open the door!” Is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 32 (c), three different colors of keys, left, middle, and right buttons 3L, 3C, and 3R to be operated to select each key, and the buttons 3L, 3C, and 3R The remaining time for which the operation is valid is displayed.

When the remaining time runs out, as shown in FIG. 32 (d), when any button 3L, 3C, 3R is operated during the effective period, the corresponding key ky, which button 3L, 3C, When 3R is not operated, the key ky of a randomly selected color is inserted into the lock nj, and an image in which the lock nj is shaken with the rotation of the key ky is displayed.
When the variation pattern number is 9, an image in which the inserted key ky does not match the lock nj and the key ky is folded is displayed, and finally the normal screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 31 (c1). Returning to, the reach type out symbol combination is derived and the special figure variation effect is finished.
On the other hand, when the variation pattern numbers are 10, 11, 17, and 18, as shown in FIG. 32 (e), the lock nj is released, the doors b1 and b2 are opened, and a video in which the monster 7B appears from the inside is displayed. Is done.

  After this, when the variation pattern number is 10, the variation pattern number 7; when the variation pattern number is 11, the variation pattern number 8; when the variation pattern number is 17, the variation pattern number 15; 18 is the same effect as the variation pattern number 16, that is, each super reach 1 system pattern is executed, and the description thereof is omitted.

  Finally, in the sudden hit pattern executed when the fluctuation pattern number is 19, as shown in FIG. 33 (a), after all the symbol sequences DA to DC start high-speed horizontal scroll fluctuation all at once, FIG. As shown in (b) to (d), the variation is stopped in the order of the upper symbol sequence DA, the lower symbol DC, and the middle symbol DB, and finally the stochastic symbol combination “357” is derived.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, the main control unit 110 is accompanied by derivation of the variation pattern numbers 0 to 3, that is, the reach state, regardless of the number of special figure holding at the start of special figure fluctuation. After a non-normal production with a relatively short production time is repeated once or several times, the fluctuation pattern numbers 7 to 11/15 to 18, that is, a super-reaching production with a relatively high expectation degree and a long production time is executed. If it is determined that the command is to be executed, a feature is that a command for executing the continuous effect is transmitted to the sub-control unit 120. Here, regardless of the number of special figure hold at the start of the special figure change, whether or not the normal outage effect is performed once or a plurality of times, and whether or not the super reach effect is executed, Because it refers to the random numbers R1 to R4 and various lottery tables used in the special drawing lottery process and special figure fluctuation time lottery process executed at the start of special figure variation, as in the conventional pachinko gaming machine It is not necessary to have the scenario data. As a result, it is possible to execute a continuous effect similar to the conventional one while minimizing an increase in the program capacity of the main control unit 110.

In addition, except for the super reach production that is executed at the end of the continuous production, the special off-line production (special drawing fluctuation) with a relatively short production time (special drawing fluctuation time) continues one or more times. Even if the continuous production is started in a state where the number is four or close to the maximum, the frequency of winning the two start ports 81 and 82 during the normal off-stage production is low in time. It is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of a situation that becomes the maximum of four, that is, a trigger for stopping.
Furthermore, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention is equipped with the electric chew priority digestion function, and the winning of the second starting port 82 during the non-time-saving gaming state interrupts the fluctuation of the second special figure during the continuous performance. However, as described above, by using the second special figure variable time lottery table dedicated to the non-time-saving gaming state, it will not hinder the execution of the continuous performance. Yes.

  Furthermore, in the sub-control unit 120, when the fact that the continuous production is to be executed is received from the main control unit 110 (during the continuous production) and when it is not received (during the normal production), the variation pattern numbers 0 to In the case of the normal off effect corresponding to 3, except for setting the final stop symbol as a chance, the same special figure fluctuation effect data and the same special figure fluctuation effect processing procedure are performed. Therefore, there is no need to prepare production data dedicated to continuous production on the sub-control unit 120 side. Therefore, the development cost is not increased.

  In addition, each part structure of this invention is not restricted to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible within the technical scope as described in a claim. For example, in this embodiment, the continuous performance execution determination process is executed at the start of the first and second special figure fluctuations. Instead, the first start winning process shown in FIG. 3 and the second start shown in FIG. It may be executed during the winning process. In this case, a continuous performance execution determination process is inserted between steps S5 and S6 of the first start winning process shown in FIG. 3 and between steps S15 and S16 of the second start winning process shown in FIG. The continuous production execution command including the continuous production flag is transmitted together with the hold number change command in steps S6 and S15.

In the present embodiment, the final stop symbol of the normal off effect corresponding to the variation pattern numbers 0 to 3 is set as a chance to clearly notify the player that the continuous effect is being performed. Instead, in addition, by setting as follows, it is possible to appeal to the player more clearly that the continuous production is being performed.
(Modification 1) For a normal off effect during a continuous effect, the background color of the effect display device 70 is changed to a different one from that during the normal effect.
(Modification 2) For the normal off-stage production during the continuous production, the sound effect at the time of deriving the final stop symbol is changed to a different sound from the normal production.
(Modification 3) A special character or the like that does not appear at the time of the normal performance is caused to appear during the normal performance during the continuous performance.
