Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that uses a game ball to play a game.

  In general, a pachinko machine has a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol in the game area in the game board, an effect symbol display device that displays a predetermined effect, a start prize opening that triggers an electronic lottery related to the special symbol, etc. When a game ball launched toward the game area wins the start winning opening, an electronic lottery related to the special symbol is performed, and the special symbol display device changes the special symbol and then stops. The mode is displayed to notify the result of the electronic lottery. When the result of the electronic lottery is a big win (per special figure), the special symbol indicating that the big win is displayed on the special symbol display device is stopped and the jackpot gaming state advantageous to the player is entered. . In this jackpot game state, the game ball enters the big winning opening that is exposed by opening and closing the attacker device a predetermined number of times, so that the player can acquire many prize balls.

  In addition, when a game ball wins a start winning opening during the change of a special symbol, a reserved ball random number storage unit (with a predetermined number (for example, 4) as an upper limit of a predetermined number (for example, four) as a reserved ball random number Memory). Then, when the special symbol related to the currently played game stops and the result of the electronic lottery is confirmed, the stored ball random numbers stored in the stored ball random number storage unit are sequentially read out and the hit determination of the held ball random numbers is performed. The result is displayed by changing and stopping the special symbol, and the game based on the reserved ball random number is advanced.

In addition, the starting prize opening is provided with an accessory called an electric tulip (abbreviated as “electric chew” for short). When this electric chew is opened, it is easy for a game ball to win the starting prize opening. It is advantageous for the player. In order to open this electric chew, the player wins a “per-standard” in an electronic lottery for a normal symbol that occurs when a game ball passes through a through-chucker (gate through which the game ball passes) provided in the game area. It will be necessary.
The display of the result of the lottery related to the normal symbol is performed by causing the normal symbol display device to stop the normal symbol after changing it for a predetermined fluctuation time.

  The start winning opening that can be won by opening the electric chew is called the “electric chew winning opening”, and the starting winning opening that can be won without opening the electric chew is called the “navel winning opening”. However, it is configured that a game (electric chew game) that is performed by winning at the electric chew winning opening and a game (navel game) performed by winning at the navel winning opening are performed independently. If a game ball wins a specific winning slot while the special symbol changes, the winning number is up to a predetermined number (for example, four) corresponding to each of the electric chew winning slot and navel winning slot. Is stored as a reserved sphere random number in each of the reserved sphere random number storage units (memory).

  If the reserved ball random number is stored in both the reserved ball random number storage unit corresponding to the electric chew winning port and the reserved ball random number storage unit corresponding to the navel winning port, the currently played game When the change of the special symbol related to is stopped and the result of electronic lottery is confirmed, the reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit corresponding to the electric chew winning slot is stored as the reserved ball random number corresponding to the navel winning slot A game based on the reserved ball random number is advanced by reading out the reserved ball random number stored in the section.

Here, there is a gaming machine that is configured so that the profits given to the player are different between the electric chew game and the navel game when the game is per special figure (so-called “big hit”). .
For example, when a special figure is reached in an electric-chu game, the attacker device opens and closes 15 times (15 rounds), and a game ball enters the grand prize opening, whereas a special game is made in the navel game The attacker device is configured to open and close only twice (two rounds), and the electric chew game is configured to obtain a large amount of prize balls for the player. Alternatively, the jackpot probability at 15 rounds in the electric chew game is set to be higher than the jackpot probability at 15 rounds in the navel game, and the electric chew game is configured to be more likely to win the jackpot of 15 lands. .

  Accordingly, as described above, the reserved ball random number in the electric chew game is configured to be read with priority over the reserved ball random number in the navel game, so that the player can use the reserved ball random number corresponding to the electric chew winning opening. If the game is performed so that the random number of the reserved ball is always stored in the storage unit, the navel game will not be started, so that a situation advantageous to the player (that is, a 15-round prize will be always obtained for each special figure). The game can be performed in a game situation or a game situation that is easy to hit.

Here, since the electric chew winning opening is opened by the usual figure, the above-mentioned advantageous situation is maintained for the player in the game mode in which the usual figure can be obtained relatively easily. It becomes.
By the way, in the pachinko machine having such an electric chew winning opening, when the big hit game ends, the game state (so-called “short-time mode”) in which the variation time of the special symbol is shortened by a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). To be migrated. In this time reduction mode, the normal symbol is controlled so that the probability of winning per common symbol is higher than the normal state, and the normal symbol variation time is also controlled to be shorter than the normal variation time. The
Therefore, in this short-time mode, the normal figure is frequently generated within a short time, so that the electric chew is frequently opened, and it becomes easy for the game ball to enter the electric chew winning slot. It becomes easy to play the game so that the reserved ball random number is always stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit corresponding to the chew winning opening.
In addition, since the winning ball is paid out by winning at the electric winning prize opening, the gaming ball is not reduced so much, so the short time mode can be a game in the above-mentioned advantageous situation for the player. .

  In addition, this type of pachinko machine generally has two types per special figure: “per normal” and “per probability variation”. When the gaming state is finished, the probability variation state (so-called “probability variation mode” or simply “probability variation mode”) having a high probability of becoming a special figure is reached until the next special figure. ing. Even in this probability fluctuation state, the same function as the “time reduction mode” described above is added, and it is configured so that a game ball can easily win a prize winning slot.

In the pachinko machines described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the predetermined number of games after a special figure (big hit) is set to the above-mentioned time-saving mode (the probability per universal figure is set to a high probability and the variable display time is shortened). The structure to be adopted is adopted.
Among them, the one described in Patent Document 1 uses a long-time table with a long special symbol variation time before entering the time reduction mode (described as “specific state” in Patent Document 1). It is configured to draw lots.
Moreover, in the thing of patent document 2, in the time-saving mode (it is described as "special game state" in the cited reference 2) transferred to after a big hit game, the special symbol which made the change time of the special symbol long and short is used. Two symbol variation pattern tables are provided and selectable. Similarly, in the case of ordinary symbols, two normal symbol variation pattern tables having the normal symbol variation time lengthened are provided and selectable.

  However, even if it is configured so that the change time of the special symbol or the normal symbol can be selected to be long or short in the time reduction mode, the game in the time reduction mode (including the time reduction mode during the probability change) is relatively monotonous. There was a problem of becoming.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a pachinko machine that can make a game in a time-saving mode (including a time-saving mode during probability change) more interesting. That is.

In order to achieve the above object, a pachinko machine according to the present invention has a game board having a game area in which game balls flow down, a first start prize opening provided in the game area, and a game ball in the first start prize opening.

The normal symbol variation time determining means determines the variation time with reference to the normal symbol shortened variation time table.

  Note that the case where the second electronic lottery means is more advantageous to the player than the first electronic lottery means that, for example, the second electronic lottery means increases the probability of winning per special figure. Even if the first electronic lottery means and the second electronic lottery means have the same probability of winning per special figure, the second electronic lottery means is more advantageous per special figure. This corresponds to the case where the probability of winning per probability change is high. Also, even if the same special figure is won, if the second electronic lottery means wins and the content of the game is advantageous to the player, for example, the second electronic lottery means is more open to the attacker device. The case where it is long or the number of times the attacker device is opened is also included when the second electronic lottery means of the present invention is more advantageous to the player than the first electronic lottery means.

  Further, the probability of winning in the normal winning and the probability variation in the electronic lottery by the first electronic lottery means is the same as the probability of winning in the normal winning and the probability change in the electronic lottery by the second electronic lottery means. Although set, the probability that the second electronic lottery means winning per winning change with the second electronic lottery means is set higher than the probability of winning per winning change with the first electronic lottery means It is preferable to do this. If comprised in this way, compared with performing electronic lottery by the 1st electronic lottery means and advancing a game, the direction which advanced the game by performing electronic lottery by the 2nd electronic lottery means can acquire many prize balls Since the probability increases, the player's gambling feeling can be beaten and the gameability is enhanced. In other words, the first electronic lottery means and the second electronic lottery means can make a difference in the number of balls, so that a distinctive game can be realized.

  According to the present invention, the short-time mode game can be more interesting.

That is, in this embodiment, there are two special symbol lotteries: one that takes place when the first start winning opening 37a is won and the other that takes place when the second start winning opening 37b wins. .

  The first special symbol lottery unit 119a is a random number (when the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing unit 11) when a game ball has won the first starting winning port 37a. 1st special symbol random number acquisition unit (first special symbol random number acquisition means) 112a that acquires (latches) one of the symbols, and whether the random number acquired by the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a is per special symbol First special symbol high probability determination table (first high probability determination table) 116a or first special symbol low probability determination table (first low probability determination table) 117a. When the special symbol is changing when the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a and the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a acquire the random number, the acquired random number is set as the reserved ball random number. Up to four to (in other words, up to four of the upper limit is a predetermined number) includes a first hold ball random number memory unit 115a for storing the. Here, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a has a higher probability of hitting the special symbol than the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a. Here, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a are referred to as a first special symbol determination table.

Similarly to the first special symbol lottery unit 119a, the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second start winning port 37b (the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43b is the main control). A second special symbol random number acquisition unit (second special symbol random number acquisition means) 112b that acquires (latches) one random number (at the timing input to the processing unit 11), and a second special symbol random number acquisition unit 112b. The second special symbol high probability determination table (second high probability determination table) 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table (second low probability determination table) 117b is used to determine whether or not the random number acquired by the user is per special figure. When the special symbol is changing when the second special symbol determination unit (second special symbol determination unit) 113b and the second special symbol random number acquisition unit 112b which are determined by referring to the random number are acquired. , Up to four the acquired random number as reserved sphere random (in other words, up to four of the upper limit is a predetermined number) is provided with a second holding ball random number memory unit 115b for storing, a. Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of hitting the special symbol than the second special symbol high probability determination table 117b. Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b are referred to as a second special symbol determination table.
In the present embodiment, when the reserved ball random number is stored in both the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the hold stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b. The ball random number is preferentially read out, it is determined whether or not it is per special figure, and the game is controlled to proceed.

  In the present embodiment, there are two jackpots (per special figure) per normal hit and probability variation. In the case of winning for this special figure, the action that the cutter device 41 releases for 30 seconds or until 10 pachinko balls are won is 1 round (1R), and this action is 2 rounds (2R) or 15 The jackpot game to be played in the round (15R) is provided by the jackpot game control unit 160 (winning game control means).

Here, when winning per probability variation, after the game per special figure based on the probability variation ends, in the game until winning the next special symbol, the first special symbol high probability determination as a determination table to be referred to The table 116a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b are referred to (the gaming state is a so-called high probability variation state). On the other hand, if the winning is based on the normal winning, after the jackpot game based on the normal winning is finished, the game is performed with reference to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. (The game state is a so-called normal state).
For this reason, the player who wins the probability variation is in a high probability state in which the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b are referred to in the game after the probability variation per game. It is more advantageous for the player than winning.

When the lottery result by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is per special symbol, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the type of special symbol corresponding to the special symbol. The types of special symbols are associated with the above-mentioned normal hits and probability variations, and when the special symbol type is determined by the first special symbol determining unit 120a, the first special symbol lottery is selected from the special symbol types. The type per special figure won in the lottery by the part 119a is determined. Specifically, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines any one of 2R normal, 15R normal, 2R probability variation, and 15R probability variation, as shown in the column “Special Diagram 1” in FIG. To do.
On the other hand, when the lottery result by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is per special symbol, the second special symbol determination unit 120b determines the type of special symbol corresponding to the special symbol. Specifically, the second special symbol determination unit 120b determines either 15R normal hit or 15R probability change as shown in the "Special Fig. 2" column of FIG.

Here, the meanings of “2R probability change”, “15R probability change”, “2R normal change”, “2R normal change”, and “15R normal change” per type shown in FIG. 6 will be described.
“15R probability change” and “15R normal” are defined as 1R for an operation in which the cutter device 41 is released for 30 seconds at a time or until 10 pachinko balls are won. Per special chart provided by. In the case of these special charts, 15R winning games are provided, so that the player can obtain many prize balls.

On the other hand, “2R probability change” and “2R normal” mean that the operation that the attacker device 41 opens for 30 seconds per time is one round, and the game control unit 160 provides a winning game for performing this operation for two rounds. This is per figure. In the case of these special charts, since the game is provided only for two rounds, the player can obtain less profit than “15R probability change” and “15R normal”.
Then, “15R probability variation” and “2R probability variation” are in a high probability state in which the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b are referred to in the game after the game per the special diagram. “15R normal” and “2R normal” are normal states in which the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b are referred to in the game after the game per the special figure.

  Next, the difference in distribution per special figure between “special figure 1” and “special figure 2” shown in FIG. 6 will be described. In “Special Figure 1” and “Special Figure 2”, the probability of distribution per probability variation and the probability of distribution per normal variation are the same, but in FIG. 1, even if per probability variation, 2R probability variation and 15R probability variation are the same. In the case of probability variation, the special figure 2 is different in that it is always allocated to 15R probability variation. Similarly, in the special figure 1, the distribution is made per 2R normal and 15R normal, whereas in the special figure 2, the distribution is always made per 15R normal.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the breakdown per special figure is different between Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2, the second special is more effective than the electronic lottery performed by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a. It can be said that the electronic lottery performed by the symbol lottery unit 119b is advantageous to the player in that many prize balls can be obtained. In other words, a player who plays a game at the second start winning opening (so-called electric chew winning opening) is more than a player who plays a game at the first start winning opening (so-called navel winning opening). There is a high probability of benefiting.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130 includes a fluctuation pattern random number generation unit (fluctuation pattern random number generation unit) 131 that generates a fluctuation pattern random number used to determine a fluctuation pattern command, A first variation pattern command determining unit (first special symbol variation time determining means) 130a for determining a variation pattern command based on the winning of a game ball in the first starting winning port 37a, and a second starting winning port 37b And a second variation pattern command determination unit (second special symbol variation time determination means) 130b for determining a variation pattern command based on the winning of the game ball.

  The random number generator for variation pattern 131 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range (from 0 to 9) based on an interrupt signal that is periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Is generated.

  The first variation pattern command determination unit 130a (first special symbol variation time determination unit) is for the variation pattern generated by the variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when a game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a. A first variation pattern random number acquisition unit (variation pattern random number acquisition means) 132a that acquires one random number from random numbers, and the random number acquired by the first variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a First variation pattern random number storage unit 133a for storing up to four upper limit numbers in the order of winning a prize, variation pattern random number and variation pattern No. And a first variation pattern command table (variation pattern command table) 134a in which a plurality of tables are stored. The variation pattern command determination unit 130a, when one game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, acquires one random number for variation pattern for the winning, like the first special symbol lottery unit 119a.

  Similarly to the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b (second special symbol variation time determination unit) also has a variation pattern triggered by the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 37b. A second variation pattern random number obtaining unit (variation pattern random number obtaining means) 132b for obtaining one random number from the random numbers for the variation pattern generated by the random number generation unit 131, and the second variation pattern random number obtaining unit. 132b, a random number storage unit 133b for storing a variation pattern, and a random number for variation pattern and a variation pattern No. And a second variation pattern command table (variation pattern command table) 134b in which a plurality of tables are stored. When one game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b, the fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130b acquires one random number for the fluctuation pattern for the winning, similarly to the second special symbol lottery part 119b.

In the first fluctuation pattern command table 134a, as shown in FIG. 8, a special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1) that is referred to when a special symbol is won in the lottery by the first special symbol lottery section 119a, Special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2), special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3), and special figure fluctuation table D (134a-) referred to when the first special symbol lottery section 119b loses in the lottery. 4) are stored, and each table includes a random number for variation pattern and a variation pattern No. Are configured in advance. That is, when the variation pattern random number is determined, the variation pattern No. is determined from the variation pattern random number. (Variation pattern command) is automatically determined, and the variation pattern No. The variation time corresponding to is determined.
The configuration of the second variation pattern command table 134b is the same as that of the first variation pattern command table 134a, and thus illustration and description thereof are omitted.
Here, in the present embodiment, 10 variation pattern random numbers from 0 to 9, variation pattern no. No. 1-No. 10, No. 11-No. 40, but the number of variation pattern random numbers and variation pattern No. May be set as appropriate.

Next, the fluctuation times stored in the special figure fluctuation tables A to E will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, in the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1), fluctuation times from 30 seconds to 120 seconds are stored. The special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) stores the fluctuation time from 20 seconds to 120 seconds, but includes a shorter fluctuation time than the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1). Yes.

  In the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3), fluctuation times from 10 seconds to 20 seconds are stored. When comparing the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) and the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3), the fluctuation time of 20 seconds is the shortest fluctuation time in the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2). On the other hand, the fluctuation time of 20 seconds stored in the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) is the longest fluctuation time. Thus, the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) is a table in which the fluctuation time is relatively shorter than that of the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2).

The special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4) stores a fluctuation time of 1.2 seconds. When the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) and the special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4) are compared, the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4) is the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3). ) Is shorter than all the fluctuation times memorized.
Further, the special figure fluctuation table E (134a-5) stores a fluctuation time of 0.6 seconds, and this fluctuation time includes all fluctuations stored in the special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4). It is even shorter than time.

As will be described later with reference to FIG. 21, the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) corresponds to the first normal fluctuation time table of the present invention, and the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) corresponds to the first normal fluctuation time table of the present invention. It corresponds to one shortening variation time table, and the special figure variation table D (134a-4) corresponds to the first special shortening variation time table of the present invention.
Further, the special figure fluctuation table B (134b-2) corresponds to the second normal fluctuation time table of the present invention, the special figure fluctuation table C (134b-3) corresponds to the second shortened fluctuation time table of the present invention, The special figure fluctuation table D (134b-4) corresponds to the second special shortened fluctuation time table of the present invention, and the special figure fluctuation table E (134b-5) corresponds to the second ultra-shortened fluctuation time table of the present invention.
As described above, the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) and the special figure fluctuation table B (134b-2) have the same configuration, and the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) and the special figure. The fluctuation table C (134b-3) has the same configuration, and the special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4) and the special figure fluctuation table D (134b-4) have the same configuration.

  The normal symbol lottery unit 170, as shown in FIG. 9, is triggered by the passing of the game ball through the normal symbol random number generator (general symbol random number generating means) 171 for generating random numbers and the through chucker 21 (through). A normal symbol random number acquisition unit (normal symbol random number acquisition means) 172 that acquires (latches) one random number at a timing when a detection signal from the chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 11, and the normal symbol The normal symbol success / failure determination unit 173 that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit 172 is per ordinary figure is determined when the normal symbol random number acquisition unit 172 acquires random numbers. When the symbol is fluctuating, the normal symbol reserved ball storage unit 174 that stores the acquired random number as the normal symbol reserved ball random number, and the determination table is confirmed to be won for each regular symbol. It is provided with a lower normal symbol low probability determination table 176, and a normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is a high probability to win per Hiroshi view than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176. The normal symbol random number generator 171 generates fewer random numbers than the special symbol random number generator 111, but has the same configuration for generating random numbers.

  The normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is used for a game from the end of a game per special figure based on the probability variation until the next special figure (that is, a game in a high probability variation state) It is a determination table that is referred to in a short-time mode game that is performed a maximum of 100 times after the game based on the special figure is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 includes a variation pattern random number generation unit 191 that generates random numbers for a common variation pattern used to determine a general variation pattern command, and a through chucker 21 as a game ball. Triggered by the passage of a random number, a random number for a normal variation pattern that obtains one random number from the random numbers for the normal variation pattern generated by the random number generator for normal variation 191 (ordinary random number generator) An acquisition unit 192 (ordinary symbol random number acquisition means), a random number storage unit 193 for normal pattern variation patterns that stores up to four random numbers acquired by the random number acquisition unit 192 for normal variation patterns, and Random number and fluctuation pattern No. And a general-purpose variation pattern command table 194 in which a plurality of tables associated with are stored. In addition, when one game ball passes through the through chucker 21, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 acquires one random number for the common symbol variation pattern for each passage.

  The random number generator 191 for the normal fluctuation pattern updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range (0 to 4) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Generate software random numbers.

  As shown in FIG. 11, two common figure fluctuation tables are stored in the common figure fluctuation pattern command table 194, and each table has a random number for a usual figure fluctuation pattern and a fluctuation pattern No. Are configured in advance. That is, when the random number for the usual pattern variation pattern is determined, the variation pattern No. (Variation pattern command) is automatically determined, and the variation pattern No. The variation time corresponding to is determined. Here, in the present embodiment example, five random numbers for ordinary variation patterns 0 to 4 and variation pattern Nos. No. 101-No. 110 is set, but the number of random numbers for the usual variation pattern and the variation pattern No. May be set as appropriate.

Next, the variation time stored in each of the usual map variation tables a to c will be described.
First, a fluctuation time of 20 seconds is stored in the ordinary figure fluctuation table a (194-1). The usual time fluctuation table b (194-2) stores a fluctuation time of 5 seconds. As described above, when the ordinary map variation table a (194-1) and the ordinary diagram variation table b (194-2) are compared, the ordinary diagram variation table b (194-2) has a shorter variation time. .

  Therefore, when the ordinary figure fluctuation table a (194-1) is referred to, the normal symbol fluctuation time determination unit 190 normally sets the fluctuation time of 20 seconds regardless of the value of the random number for the usual figure fluctuation pattern. When the symbol variation time is determined and the normal symbol variation table b (194-2) is referred to, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 may be any value of the random number for the common symbol variation pattern. The fluctuation time of 5 seconds is determined as the normal symbol fluctuation time.

  Note that the ordinary symbol variation table a (194-1) corresponds to the normal symbol normal variation time table of the present invention, and the ordinary symbol variation table b (194-2) corresponds to the ordinary symbol shortened variation time table of the present invention.

Here, when the relationship between the fluctuation times stored in the special figure fluctuation tables B to D and the fluctuation times stored in the ordinary figure fluctuation tables a and b is summarized, the following can be said.
The fluctuation times stored in the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2, 134b-2) are the fluctuations stored in the ordinary figure fluctuation table a (194-1) and the ordinary figure fluctuation table b (194-2). Consists of more than an hour. Further, the fluctuation time stored in the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) is shorter than the fluctuation time stored in the common figure fluctuation table a (194-1), but the normal figure fluctuation table b (194). -2), which is longer than the variation time stored.

  The fluctuation times stored in the special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4, 134b-4) and the special figure fluctuation table E (134a-5, 134b-5) are the ordinary figure fluctuation table b (194-2). The time is shorter than the variation time stored in the memory. As described above, the special symbol fluctuation time determined with reference to the special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4, 134b-4) and the special figure fluctuation table E (134a-5, 134b-5) is the normal figure fluctuation. It is configured not to exceed the fluctuation time of the normal symbol determined with reference to any of the tables a and b. In particular, the fluctuation time in the special figure fluctuation tables D and E (1.2 seconds in the special figure fluctuation table D, 0.6 seconds in the special figure fluctuation table E) is the ordinary figure fluctuation table b (in the ordinary figure fluctuation table b). It is preferable to set the fluctuation time to a fraction of a fraction of that in 5 seconds. By setting in such a manner, the special symbol is changed several times while the normal symbol is changing.

  Next, the hit game control unit 160 controls to open and close the attacker device 41 by a predetermined number of rounds. In addition, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 controls the energization of the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 based on a command indicating that the normal symbol lottery unit 177 has won in the electronic lottery. Here, in the game in which the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is referred to (game in the short time mode and the super short time mode, which will be described later), there is a high probability that the normal symbol lottery unit 177 wins the electronic lottery. Will open frequently. Therefore, the player can play the game without reducing the game balls from the normal game state.

  Note that the electric tulip operation control unit 180 opens the electric tulip 49 twice with an opening time of 2.9 seconds for each normal figure in the gaming state in which the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is referred to. In the gaming state in which the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 is referred to, the electric tulip 49 is controlled to be released once with an opening time of 0.2 seconds for each ordinary figure.

Then, the game content of the pachinko machine concerning this embodiment is explained.
As shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has four modes of a normal mode, a probability variation mode, a time-short mode, and a super-short-time mode, and in the super-short-time mode, The first danger mode or the second danger mode is selected. FIG. 27 shows a list of variation times of special symbols and normal symbols in these game modes.
These game modes are shifted to modes by achieving predetermined conditions.

Game mode name: normal mode The normal mode is a game state in which a lottery state of a special symbol has a low probability and a lottery state of a normal symbol has a low probability. Specifically, the first special symbol lottery unit 119a refers to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a, the second special symbol lottery unit 119b refers to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, and the normal symbol lottery. This is a game mode in which the game progresses while the part 177 performs electronic lottery with reference to the normal symbol low probability determination table 176.

  This normal mode is a mode in a so-called “normal game state”, and is set to be in the normal mode when the pachinko machine is initially turned on or reset. In this mode, as described above, since the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol has a low probability, it is rare that the electric tulip 49 is won by winning the lottery, and the game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b. There is little to do. Therefore, in the normal mode, the game is advanced by performing the electronic lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a.

Game mode name: Probability change mode In this mode, when the per special figure is per probable change (per 2R probable change or per 15R probable change), the game per special figure is started after the game per the special figure ends. This is a game mode set in the game until the end.
In this mode, a special symbol lottery state has a high probability, and a normal symbol lottery state has a high probability gaming state, a so-called “probability change” state. Specifically, the first special symbol lottery unit 119a refers to the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a, the second special symbol lottery unit 119b refers to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b, and the normal symbol lottery. This is a game mode in which the game progresses while the unit 177 performs electronic lottery with reference to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175.

  In this mode, as described above, since the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol has a high probability, the lottery is frequently won and the electric tulip 49 is opened, and the game ball is frequently placed in the second start winning opening 37b. It is easy to win. Therefore, since the electronic lottery can be performed almost by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b, the game mode is advantageous to the player compared to the normal mode. In addition, since the lottery state of the special symbol is highly probable, this mode is more advantageous to the player than the short-time mode described later.

Game mode name: short time mode This mode is a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 per game) after the game per special figure ends when the special figure is a normal hit (2R normal hit or 15R normal hit). Game mode set in the game of (times).
In this mode, a special symbol lottery state has a low probability, and a normal symbol lottery state has a high probability gaming state, a so-called “short time” state. Specifically, the first special symbol lottery unit 119a refers to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a, the second special symbol lottery unit 119b refers to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, and the normal symbol lottery. This is a game mode in which the game progresses while the unit 177 performs electronic lottery with reference to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175.

  In this mode, as described above, since the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol has a high probability, the lottery is frequently won and the electric tulip 49 is opened, and the game ball is frequently placed in the second start winning opening 37b. Since it is possible to win, the player can play the game without reducing the game balls from the normal game state. In addition, the second electronic lottery 119b can perform the second electronic lottery, and the special drawing in the second electronic lottery is always about 15R, which is advantageous to the player compared to the normal mode. It is a game mode.

Game mode name: Super-short time mode This mode is a game mode in which the time required for changing the time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is shortened by satisfying the required conditions in the above-mentioned short time mode. Or it comprises the 2nd danger mode.
The mode transition from the time-saving mode to the super-time-saving mode is performed by winning a lottery of the time-saving mode lottery selection unit 200 for selecting whether to shift to the super-time-saving mode for each game in the time-saving mode.
Of these, the allocation to the first danger mode and the second danger mode is performed according to the number of games within a predetermined number of times in the short-time mode game, in which the winning by the short-time mode lottery selection means is won. In the present embodiment, the predetermined number of time-saving mode games is set to 100 times, and if the majority is passed, that is, if the game is won in the 50th game or less, the mode is changed from the time-saving mode to the first danger mode, and the majority has passed. When winning a game, that is, a game past the 51st time, the mode is shifted from the time reduction mode to the second danger mode.
For this reason, in this embodiment, a subtraction counter that counts the number of games in the short-time mode (a counter that subtracts one each time a game ends, such as 100, 99, 98,...) A counter display unit that displays the value of the subtraction counter on the effect display unit 34, and a determination unit that determines whether or not the winning game has passed the majority when the winning mode lottery selection unit 200 is won. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the first danger mode in the super-short time mode is selected from the normal symbol shortened variation time table and the first shortened variation time table as in the time-short mode, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the variation time of the second special symbol is configured to be selected from the second special shortened variation time table having a variation time shorter than that of the second shortened variation time table in the time reduction mode.

  Also, in the second danger mode of the super short time mode, the normal symbol fluctuation time is selected from the normal symbol shortening fluctuation time table in the same manner as the time reduction mode and the first danger mode, whereas the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is , Selected from the second ultra-shortened variation time table whose variation time is shorter than the second special shortened variation time table in the first danger mode. Further, in the second danger mode, the first special symbol fluctuation time is shorter than the first shortened fluctuation time table or the first shortened fluctuation time table as in the first danger mode. It is configured to be selected from a time table.

  Here, a flag is assigned to each of the game modes described above, and each mode can be identified by the flag. As shown in FIG. 13, the fluctuation pattern selection flag 0 is assigned to the normal mode, the fluctuation pattern selection flag 1 is assigned to the time reduction mode, the fluctuation pattern selection flag 2 is assigned to the probability change mode, and the super time reduction mode ( The fluctuation pattern selection flag 3 is assigned to the first danger mode, and the fluctuation pattern selection flag 4 is assigned to the super-short time mode (second danger mode).

  Then, the game mode transition control unit 140 performs the transition of the game mode based on the set variation pattern selection flag. That is, when the game mode transition condition is satisfied as described above, the game mode transition control unit 140 shifts the game mode based on the variation pattern selection flag set by the game mode flag setting unit 150 described below. When the condition for not shifting to another game mode is satisfied as described above, the game mode transition control unit 140 sets the game mode based on the variation pattern selection flag set by the game mode flag setting unit 150. Control to maintain.

  The game mode flag setting unit 150 corresponds to a mode in which when the first special symbol lottery unit 119a or the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is won per special symbol, the game is shifted after the winning game provided by the winning is completed. The variation pattern selection flag to be set is set. With reference to FIG. 13, how the game mode flag setting unit 150 sets the variation pattern selection flag will be specifically described. For example, when the current game mode is the normal mode, the variation pattern selection flag 0 is established. At this time, if the 2R probability change is won in a state where the variation pattern selection flag 0 is established, the game mode flag setting unit 150 sets the variation pattern selection flag 2 as the next variation pattern flag, as shown in FIG. Set. Then, since the variation pattern selection flag 2 is set, the game mode transition control unit 140 controls the transition to the probability variation mode corresponding to the variation pattern selection flag 2 after the winning game according to the 2R probability variation. .

  Further, when the current game mode is the probability variation mode, the variation pattern selection flag 2 is established. At this time, if 15R normal is won in a state where the variation pattern selection flag 2 is established, the game mode flag setting unit 150 sets the variation pattern selection flag 1 as the next variation pattern flag as shown in FIG. Set. Then, since the variation pattern selection flag 1 is set, the game mode transition control unit 140 controls to shift the game mode after the end of the hit game related to 15R normal to the time reduction mode corresponding to the variation pattern selection flag 1. is there.

  In FIG. 13, “until next time” described in the field of the number of times of next-generation support means that the lottery state related to the normal symbol is highly probable until the next winning for each special figure. In addition, “100” described in the next electric support number of times means that the lottery state related to the normal symbol has a high probability until the game is played 100 times, and the maximum number of games in the short-time mode is 100. It is synonymous with up to times.

Next, the relationship among the game modes, the special symbol variation time, and the normal symbol variation time will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG.
First, regarding the relationship between each game mode and the variation time of the special symbol, as shown in FIG. 14, in any game mode, if the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is per special symbol, The first fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130a refers to the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1), and determines the second fluctuation pattern command when the second special symbol lottery part 119b wins a special figure. The unit 130b refers to the special figure fluctuation table A (134b-1).

  In the normal mode, when the lottery is lost by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a, the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a refers to the special symbol variation table B (134a-2), and changes related to the special symbol. Determine the time. On the other hand, if the lottery by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is lost in the normal mode, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b refers to the special symbol variation table B (134b-2) to make a special symbol. Determine such variable time.

  When the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is lost in the short time mode, the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a refers to the special symbol variation table C (134a-3) and changes related to the special symbol. Determine the time. On the other hand, when the lottery is lost by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b in the short time mode, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b refers to the special symbol variation table C (134b-3) to change the special symbol. Determine such variable time.

  When the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is lost in the probability variation mode, the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a refers to the special symbol variation table C (134a-3), and changes related to the special symbol. Determine the time. On the other hand, if the lottery is lost by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b in the probability variation mode, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b refers to the special symbol variation table C (134b-3) to change the special symbol. Determine such variable time.

  If the first special symbol lottery unit 119a loses in the first danger mode in the ultra-short time mode, the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a refers to the special diagram variation table C (134a-C). Then, the variation time related to the special symbol is determined. In addition, when the lottery is lost by the second special symbol lottery unit 119a, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b refers to the special symbol variation table D (134b-4) to determine the variation time related to the special symbol. decide.

  If the first special symbol lottery unit 119a loses the lottery in the second danger mode in the ultra-short time mode, the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a displays the special diagram variation table C (134a-C) (or Then, the fluctuation time related to the special symbol is determined with reference to the special figure fluctuation table D (134b-4)). In addition, when the lottery is lost by the second special symbol lottery unit 119a, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b refers to the special symbol variation table E (134b-5) to determine the variation time related to the special symbol. decide.

  Next, the relationship between each game mode and the normal symbol variation time will be described with reference to FIG. When a game is played in the normal mode, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 determines the variation time related to the normal symbol with reference to the ordinary symbol variation table a (194-1). Therefore, in the normal mode, the variation time of the normal symbol is always 20 seconds.

  When a game is played in the time reduction mode, the probability change mode, or the super time reduction mode, the normal symbol change time determination unit 190 refers to the normal symbol change table b (194-2), and the change time related to the normal symbol. To decide. Therefore, in these modes, the normal symbol variation time is always 5 seconds.

  Here, in each game mode, let us look at the length of the variation time of the special symbol and the variation time of the normal symbol. In the normal mode, the variation time of the normal symbol is 20 seconds, but it is highly likely that the variation time of the special symbol is 20 seconds or more. In the time reduction mode and the probability variation mode, the variation time of the normal symbol is 5 seconds, but the variation time of the special symbol is always longer than 5 seconds.

  On the other hand, in the super-short time mode, the variation time of the special symbol is 1.2 seconds (in the first danger mode) to 0.6 seconds (in the second danger mode), while it is a normal symbol. The fluctuation time is 5 seconds. That is, in this super-short time mode, the variation time of the normal symbol is always longer than the variation time of the special symbol. Therefore, playing a game in the super-short time mode is more disadvantageous for the player than playing in the short-time mode.

The fact that this super-short time mode is disadvantageous for the player will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 16, from the state where three reserved ball random numbers are stored in the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and four reserved ball random numbers are stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, first the second reserved ball random number is stored. A state in which a game based on the reserved ball random number (hold 4) stored in the storage unit 115b is started is shown in time series. In this state, if the reserved ball random number is not stored in any of the reserved ball random number storage units in the subsequent game, when the storage of the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b becomes zero, the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a The game based on the reserved ball random number stored in the game is started (that is, the second reserved ball random number is digested in preference to the first reserved ball random number).

  In the figure, the black circles displayed on the holding ball display device 34 indicate that the holding ball random numbers are stored. In FIG. 1, the three black circles indicate that the first holding ball random number is stored. It means that three reserved ball random numbers are stored in the storage unit 115a, and there are four black circles in FIG. 2 because four reserved ball random numbers are stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b. It means that

In the present embodiment, as described above, the game based on the game ball winning in the second start winning port 37b is executed with priority over the game based on the game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a. Therefore, first, a game based on the hold 4 (hold 4 in the special figure 2 in the figure) stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b is performed.
In the time reduction mode shown in FIG. 16, the variation time of the normal symbol is 5 seconds, which is shorter than 20 seconds in the normal mode, whereas the variation time of the special symbol is 10 to 20 seconds. The game based on is finished after the usual fluctuation time is over. When the fluctuation of the usual figure is completed, the probability per ordinary figure is high in the short-time mode, so there is a high probability that the electric chew will be released, and there is a high possibility that the game ball will win the second starting prize opening. Become. Therefore, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 16, a situation in which the reserved ball random number is stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b before the game based on the hold 3 is started is likely to occur. 2 Since the reserved ball random number storage unit 115b is always storing the reserved ball random number, there is no possibility that the game related to the reserved ball random number of the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is started (that is, the special figure). It is very unlikely that one hold 1 to 3 will be digested).

  On the other hand, in the first danger mode in the super-short time mode, the fluctuation time of the normal figure is 5 seconds, whereas the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 is 1.2 seconds. Therefore, as shown in FIG. In 5 seconds when the fluctuation ends, the games related to the hold 4 to 1 in FIG. 2 end one after another, and the game related to the hold 3 in FIG. 1 starts. That is, the reserved ball according to the special figure 1 is digested before the reserved ball of the special figure 2 accompanying the electric chew release is generated.

Further, in the second danger mode in the super-short time mode, the fluctuation time of the special figure is 0.6 seconds while the fluctuation time of the special figure is 5 seconds, and the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 is the special figure fluctuation table D. As shown in FIG. 18, the game related to the holdings 4 to 1 in the special figure 2 is completed one after another in the five seconds when the normal fluctuation ends, as shown in FIG. The games related to the holds 1 to 3 are also ended or started. In other words, in the second danger mode, the reserved balls according to the special figure 1 are consumed more than the first dangerous mode before the special balls 2 with the release of the electric chew are generated. Become.
Or, as shown in FIG. 19, since the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 is 0.6 seconds as the fluctuation time in the special figure fluctuation table E, the fluctuation of the normal figure is stopped, and the electric chew accompanying the normal figure is released. Before the game starts, all the games related to the reserved ball in the special figure 1 as well as the specially held ball in the special figure 2 will be started (even if there is a reserved 4 in the special figure 1, the reserved 4 is also a game. Is started). In other words, in the second danger mode, the reserved balls according to the special figure 1 are consumed more than the first dangerous mode before the special balls 2 with the release of the electric chew are generated. Become.

  As described above, the relationship between the fluctuation time of the normal symbol and the fluctuation time of the special symbol in the super-short time mode is set so that the fluctuation time of the special symbol is always shorter than the fluctuation time of the normal symbol. As described above, in the super-short time mode, it is necessary to configure a plurality of reserved balls related to the special symbol within a single variation time of the normal symbol. It is desirable to set the fluctuation time of the table D to 1/2 or less (in the case of the first danger mode), and the fluctuation time of the fluctuation table E is further set to 1/4 or less with respect to the fluctuation time of the normal chart fluctuation table b. It is desirable to set. Thus, by setting the variation time of each variation time table, it is possible to reliably digest the reserved ball of FIG. 2 and also digest the reserved ball of FIG.

  Here, as described above, it is more advantageous for the player to perform the electronic lottery in the second special symbol lottery unit 119b than to perform the electronic lottery in the first special symbol lottery unit 119a. In addition, the game in the super-short time mode is disadvantageous for the player because the opportunity to perform electronic lottery at the first special symbol lottery unit 119a increases. In particular, the second danger mode out of the super-short time mode is disadvantageous for the player because the first special symbol lottery section 119a has more opportunities to perform electronic lottery than the first danger mode.

  The main control processing unit 11 configured as described above produces the variation pattern command determined by the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a at the start of the game that is performed when the first start winning opening 37a is won. In addition to being transmitted to the control processing unit 12a, when the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is won, a command related to the type of the special symbol determined by the first special symbol determination unit 120a is also transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a. ing. Similarly, the main control processing unit 11 uses the variation pattern command determined by the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b at the start of the game that is triggered by winning the second start winning opening 37b. 12a, and when the lottery by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is won, a command related to the type of the special symbol determined by the second special symbol determination unit 120b is also transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a.

  Here, for convenience of explanation, a command related to a special symbol type and a variation pattern command transmitted from the main control processing unit 11 to the effect control processing unit 12a are simply referred to as a game command in the following description. is there.

  Next, the contents of this game command will be described. The game command is composed of either “No.?” Or “No.?+design”. Among game commands, “No.?” Indicates the variation pattern command determined by the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a or the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b, and among the game commands, “symbol” indicates the first special symbol. The command regarding the type of special symbol which the determination part 120a or the 2nd special symbol determination part 120b determined is shown.

  Variation pattern No. 1-No. 10 is determined using the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1) referred to when the special figure is hit as shown in FIG. 8, each of “No. 1” to “No. 10” is determined. The command is a win command, and the variation pattern No. 11-No. 50, as shown in FIG. 8, a special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2), a special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3), a special figure fluctuation table D (134a-4), and a special figure which are referred to when lost. Since it is determined using any of the figure fluctuation table E (134a-5), each command of “No. 11” to “No. 50” is a lose command.

  The “symbol” command is specifically divided into “2R normal symbol”, “2R probability variable symbol”, “15R normal symbol”, “15R probability variable symbol”, and the “2R normal symbol” command is "2R probability variation symbol" indicates that the player has been won per 2R normal, "2R probability variation symbol" indicates that the player has been elected per 2R probability variation, "15R normal symbol" command indicates that the player has been elected per 15R normal, and "15R probability variation symbol" "" Indicates that the player has won the 15R probability change.

  Therefore, if any of “No. 1” to “No. 10” is included in the game command, the game command is a command per special figure, and if the command of “symbol” is confirmed, the game command You can see which special figure is won. If the game command includes any of “No. 11” to “No. 50”, it is understood that the game command is a lose command.

  Next, a sub control processing unit that receives various commands (commands) from the main control processing unit 11 and controls various devices will be described. An effect control processing unit 12a, a special symbol display control unit 12b, a lamp control processing unit 12c, a payout control processing unit 12e, and a normal symbol display control unit 12f constituting the sub control processing unit are provided on the back surface of the game board 3 with support members and the like. Is a device that controls the effect display device 34, the speaker 20, and other effect devices (such as LED devices) in accordance with the processing information generated by the main control processing unit 11.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the effect control processing unit 12 a displays, as a processing unit, an effect mode determining unit 210 for determining an effect mode and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 on the effect display device 34. And an effect display storage unit 260 that stores a plurality of types of effect patterns.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the effect mode table 261 stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 has a configuration in which an effect pattern is associated with a game command. For example, a game command No. In “1+” symbol, “normal reach A1” and “normal reach A2” having a variation time of 30 seconds are stored as corresponding production patterns. 13, “no reach B” with a variation time of 20 seconds is stored as the corresponding effect pattern.

  The effect mode determination unit 210 determines an effect pattern to be used this time while referring to the effect mode table 261 stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on the game command related to the game at the start of the game. For example, when “No. 15” is sent as the game command to the effect control processing unit 12a, the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the effect mode table 261 and corresponds to the game command “No. 15”. One effect pattern is selected by lottery from the effect patterns “normal reach A1” or “normal reach A2”.

  The effect display control unit 220 performs control for displaying the effect pattern determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 on the effect display device 34. For example, when “super reach A1” is determined as the effect pattern. , Multiple production symbols start to fluctuate, leave one production design, stop all other production designs at the same design, perform reach production, and further develop into super reach production. The display control of the content such as stopping and displaying the result of the game is performed.

Returning to FIG. 4, the special symbol display control unit 12 b includes the command related to the special symbol type determined by the special symbol determination units 120 a and 120 b of the main control processing unit 11 and the variation determined by the variation pattern command determination unit 130. Based on the pattern command, that is, the game command, the special symbol display device 17 displays the special symbol in such a manner that the special symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped.
On the other hand, the normal symbol display control unit 12f receives the command of the lottery result related to the normal symbol by the normal symbol lottery unit 177 and the command of the variation time of the normal symbol determined by the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190, and receives these commands. Based on this, the normal symbol display device 22 is controlled to display the normal symbol in such a manner that the normal symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped.
The basic symbol display control unit 12f has substantially the same basic configuration of display control, although the symbol to be displayed is different from the display control by the special symbol display control unit 12b described above. The lamp control processing unit 12c receives commands from the main control processing unit 11 and controls lighting of various lamps and electrical decorations.

The payout control processing unit 12e receives a signal from the CR unit and controls the prize ball paying device 14 so as to lend out a game ball to the player. In addition, the payout control processing unit 12e receives a payout command from the main control processing unit 11 to receive a predetermined number of balls. The prize ball payout device 14 is controlled so as to pay out the prize ball to the player. The prize ball payout device 14 includes a sprocket (not shown) in which notches are formed for holding game balls one by one, and a motor (not shown) for rotating the sprocket.
By controlling the rotation of the motor, the required number of prize balls can be paid out. Specifically, when the start winning opening detection sensors 43a and 43b, the general winning opening detection sensor 44, the large winning opening detection sensor 45, etc. detect the passage of the game ball, the winning ball payout device 14 passes through the main control processing section 11. The game ball is paid out based on the received command.

  The firing control processing unit 13 is a device that controls the operation of the launching device 9 according to the rotation amount of the handle 7. More specifically, control processing is performed such as energizing the launching device 9, stopping energization, or changing the energization current. The launch control processing unit 13 is connected to the payout control processing unit 12e, and a launch stop signal is received when the CR unit is not connected.

  Next, the game processing procedure of the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 22 and FIG. 23. Which of the first start winning port 37a and the second starting winning port 37b Since the game processing procedure is the same even if a game ball is won at the start winning opening, the following description will be made on a case where a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, that is, a game related to FIG. To do.

  First, the procedure of the game process performed based on the electronic lottery concerning the special symbol will be described. As shown in FIG. 22, the main control processing unit 11 determines whether or not the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (step S1). When winning (Yes in step S1), the first special symbol random number acquiring unit 112a acquires the special symbol random number, and the first variation pattern random number acquiring unit 132a acquires the variation pattern random number (step S2). ). When the special symbol is changing (Yes in step S3), the special symbol random number acquired in step S2 is stored in the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a, and the variation pattern random number is stored in the first variation pattern random number. It memorize | stores in the part 133a (step S4), returns to just before step S3, and waits until the turn of the game which concerns on this prize comes.

  If the special symbol is not fluctuating and the game process relating to the current winning can be advanced (No in step S3), the process proceeds to step S5 to perform a hit determination process. That is, the first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a determines whether or not the acquired special symbol random number is per special symbol. Next, a variation pattern command determination process is performed in step S6. In this variation pattern command determination process, based on the obtained variation pattern random number, the variation pattern No. is referred to by referring to the variation pattern command table 134a as described above. To decide.

  Specifically, if the fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130 determines that it is per special figure in step S5, the fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130 refers to the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1) to change the fluctuation pattern No. To decide. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game is lost in step S5, the variation pattern command determination unit 130 refers to the special figure variation table corresponding to the current game mode and changes the variation pattern No. To decide.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S7, and a special symbol determination process is performed. Specifically, when it is determined that the special symbol is determined as a result of the hit determination process in step S5, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the type of the special symbol corresponding to the special symbol. That is, it is determined in this step S7 whether the special figure in this game is per 2R normal, per 2R probability variation, per 15R regular variation, or per 15R probability variation.

  Next, in step S8, effect mode determination processing is performed. Specifically, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the effect mode table 261 and determines the effect pattern used for the current game. For example, when the game command “No. 7+ symbol (15R probability variation symbol)” is sent to the effect mode determining unit 210 in this game, the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the effect mode table 261. For example, “Super Reach B2” is determined by lottery as the current production pattern.

  Next, in step S9, the special symbol change is started, and the effect display control unit 220 displays the effect pattern determined in step S8 on the effect display device. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S10, where the special symbol variation is stopped and the display of the effect pattern is stopped in synchronization therewith.

  Next, if it is per special figure (Yes in step S11), the process proceeds to step S12, and the game mode flag setting unit 150 shifts from the type per special figure and the current game mode to the next game mode. Set the corresponding variation pattern selection flag. For example, when it is determined at step S5 that it is per special figure, at step S7 the type per special figure is determined to be 2R probability change, and the current game mode is the normal mode (the variation pattern selection flag 0 is established). Since the game mode to be transferred next is the probability change mode (see FIGS. 12 and 13), the game mode flag setting unit 150 sets the variation pattern selection flag 2.

  Next, in step S13, the winning game control unit 160 provides the winning game by opening the attacker device 41 for a predetermined number of rounds according to the type per special figure. When the winning game ends, in step S14, the game mode transition control unit 140 shifts the game mode based on the variation pattern selection flag set in step S12. For example, when the variation pattern selection flag 3 is set in step S12, the game mode transition control unit 140 controls to transition to the time reduction mode. And one game is complete | finished.

  In the case of No in step S1, the game is ended without being played, and in the case of No in step S11, the process of one game is ended without providing a winning game.

  Next, the procedure of game processing performed based on the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol will be described. As shown in FIG. 23, the main control processing unit 11 determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the through chucker 21 (step S51). If it has passed (Yes in step S51), the normal symbol random number acquisition unit 172 acquires the normal symbol random number, and the normal variation pattern random number acquisition unit 192 acquires the normal symbol variation pattern random number (step S52). ). If the normal symbol is changing (Yes in step S53), the normal symbol random number acquired in step S52 is stored in the normal symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 174, and the random symbol for the normal symbol variation pattern is stored in the normal symbol variation pattern. Stored in the random number storage unit 193 (step S54), returns to the position before step S53, and waits until the turn comes.

  If the normal symbol is not fluctuating and the normal symbol processing based on the current passage through the through chucker 21 can proceed (No in step S53), the process proceeds to step S55, and the common symbol hit determination process is performed. That is, the normal symbol success / failure determining unit 173 determines whether or not the acquired normal symbol random number is per common symbol. Next, a normal symbol variation time determination process is performed in step S56. In this normal symbol variation time determination process, based on the acquired random number for the regular symbol variation pattern, the variation pattern No. To decide.

  More specifically, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 refers to the universal diagram variation table corresponding to the current game mode and changes the variation pattern No. To decide. For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 15, when the currently established variation pattern selection flag is “0”, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 refers to the ordinary diagram variation table a (194-1). Variation pattern No. When the variation pattern selection flag is “4”, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 refers to the ordinary diagram variation table b (194-2) and changes the variation pattern No. To decide.

  Next, in step S57, the variation of the normal symbol is started. When a predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S58, and the variation of the normal symbol is stopped. Next, if it is normal (Yes in step S59), the process proceeds to step S60, and the electric tulip operation control unit 180 opens and closes the electric tulip 49. Specifically, when the current game mode is the normal mode (the variation pattern selection flag 0 is established), the electric tulip operation control unit 180 sets the electric tulip 49 to 1 when the opening time is 0.2 seconds. Control to open once. On the other hand, when the current zone is the time reduction mode (the variation pattern selection flag 1 is established), when the current zone is the probability variation mode (the variation pattern selection flag 2 is established), the time reduction mode (the variation pattern selection flag 4 is established). Is established), and in the super-short time mode (the variation pattern selection flag 5 is established), the electric tulip operation control unit 180 causes the electric tulip 49 to open for 2.9 seconds. Control to open twice. Then, one process related to the normal symbol is completed. In addition, a process is complete | finished also in the case of No in step S51 and No in step S59.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the game state (ordinary winning probability and variation time) in the normal symbol is the same in the time reduction mode / probability change mode and the super time reduction mode. Nevertheless, since the change time of the special symbol is shorter than the change time of the normal symbol in the super-short time mode, it is stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b before the electric tulip 49 is opened as shown in FIGS. The game based on the reserved ball random number is successively performed, and the game based on the reserved ball random number stored in the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is also performed. That is, since a game is performed by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a, which is disadvantageous to the second special symbol lottery unit 119b, there is a possibility of winning 2R normal or 2R probability variation.

  On the other hand, since the variation time of the special symbol is longer than the variation time of the normal symbol in the probability variation mode and the time reduction mode, the electric tulip 49 opens while the special symbol is variably displayed once, and the second start winning opening 37b. There are few cases where the stored ball random number is not stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b. Therefore, in the probability variation mode and the time reduction mode, a game in which the lottery by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b proceeds mainly proceeds, so there is almost no possibility of winning 2R normal or 2R probability variation.

Next, transition of the game mode from the time-saving mode to the super-time-saving mode (first danger mode or second danger mode) will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 24, the variation pattern command determination unit 130 determines whether or not the special symbol wins based on the result of the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 determining that the game per special symbol (step S70) ( Step S70) If the special figure is out of position (No in Step S71), the process shifts to the variation time selection process (Step S72) at the time of special figure out, and in the case of special figure (Yes in Step S71) The process proceeds to the variable time selection process (step S73).

In the special figure deviation time selection process (step S72), as shown in FIG. 25, both the first special symbol and the second special symbol have special figure fluctuation table B which is a deviation fluctuation time table in the normal game mode. Selected (step S80).
Next, the game mode transition control unit 140 determines whether or not the game is played in a short time (step S81). If it is determined that the game is in a short time state (Yes in step S81), in step S82, The fluctuation pattern selection flag “1” is set, and the special figure fluctuation table C is selected for the special symbol. For the normal symbol, the normal map fluctuation table b which is the normal map fluctuation table in the time reduction mode is selected.
Next, in step S83, the hour / short mode selection lottery unit 200 draws whether or not to shift to the super time / short mode. The lottery in the short time mode selection lottery unit 200 is performed depending on whether or not the generated random number for the short time mode selection lottery is a winning random number. The winning probability in this case is set by how to set the profit rate of the gaming machine such as the probability per special figure.

Next, when the winning mode selection lottery unit 200 wins the lottery (Yes in step S84), the game mode transition control unit 140 determines where the winning game has been drawn in a predetermined number of short-time games (100 times). (Step S85), and if the winning is made with a majority of the number of short-time games (Yes in Step S85), the variable time table of the second special symbol is set in order to shift to the first danger mode in the super-short time mode. The special figure variation table D is replaced (step S86).
When winning in the majority of the time-saving games (No in step S85), the variable time table of the second special symbol is replaced with the special-image variable table E in order to shift to the second danger mode in the super-short time mode ( Step S87).
Next, referring to the variation time table D or E thus selected, a variation time is selected based on the variation pattern random number acquired by the variation pattern random number acquisition means (step S88), and the selected variation The variation time is set according to the time (step S89).

On the other hand, in the variation time selection process (step S73) when hitting a special figure, as shown in FIG. 26, the special figure fluctuation table A referred to when hitting the special figure is selected for both the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The value “0” is set and the special figure variation table A is selected (step S90).
Next, referring to the selected special figure fluctuation table A, the fluctuation time is selected based on the fluctuation pattern random number acquired by the fluctuation pattern random number acquisition means, and the fluctuation time of the special symbol is determined by the selected fluctuation time. Is set (step S92).

Thus, in this embodiment, since the game in the time reduction mode can be further changed, it can be made a more interesting pachinko machine.
In addition, if you win a lottery in the super-short-time mode, the risk that the profit per special figure will be reduced depending on whether the winning game is a majority in the short-time mode game of a predetermined number of times is increased. It can be an interesting pachinko machine.
In the super-short mode, the special symbol variation time is changed after the same high probability and shortened variation time as in the short-time mode (that is, the variation time of ordinary symbols and the probability per regular symbol are changed). Therefore, the game can be played while maintaining the speed of ordinary game, and the special symbol change time related to the effect on the effect display device 34 fluctuates to provide more interesting effects to the player. You can also
Further, since the control related to the variation of the normal symbol may be the same as before, the configuration related to the control becomes relatively simple.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b are provided separately, but a common table is provided instead of this configuration. Anyway. Similarly, the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b may be a common table, and the first variation pattern command table 134a and the second variation pattern command table 134b A common table may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the random number generator for special symbol 111 generates random numbers used for both the first special symbol lottery unit 119a and the second special symbol lottery unit 119b. Instead of this, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a special symbol random number generator is separately provided in each of the first special symbol lottery unit 119a and the second special symbol lottery unit 119b.

In the above embodiment, the special figure fluctuation table of the first special symbol is the first shortened fluctuation time table (special figure fluctuation table C) in the second danger mode. A first special shortening variation time table (special drawing variation table D) may be used.
In this way, if the variation time of the first special symbol is further shortened in the second danger mode, the risk that the first special symbol game is started during the variation period of the normal symbol is further strengthened. Is possible.

In the above-described embodiment, the super-short time mode is selected and drawn in the short-time mode. However, even if this is selected and drawn in the probability changing mode, the same effect can be obtained.
For example, in each game in the probability variation mode, a lottery is selected by the short-time mode lottery selection means, and the winning game mode is changed to the super-short-time mode while maintaining a high probability state per special figure. Thus, since the risk that the profit per special figure in the probability variation mode is reduced is increased, a more interesting pachinko machine can be obtained.

In the above-described embodiment, the super short time mode is used in the probability variation mode and the short time mode. However, the games related to the special symbol and the normal symbol are both highly probable, and the number of games is limited to a predetermined number. Even when the game mode is used (so-called game mode in which a game in the so-called probability change mode is possible only a predetermined number of times), the same effect can be obtained.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the 2R probability change game is won, after the 2R probability change game is finished, the game mode of the high probability state per special figure and the high probability state per universal figure is set a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 Set the game mode that can be played), let the short-time mode lottery selection means perform lottery in the game mode, and maintain a high probability state per special figure by winning the winning game mode By using the ultra-short time mode (the first danger mode or the second danger mode) while remaining, it increases the risk that the profit per special figure will be reduced during the game, so make it a more interesting pachinko machine Can do.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the first start winning port 37a is a so-called navel winning port (a winning port arranged at a so-called “navel” position on the game board), and the second start winning port 37b is the navel winning port. However, it is not always necessary to form and arrange it in this manner. The first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b may be formed separately, or they are arranged at appropriate positions. You can also

Further, in the above-described embodiment, if the predetermined number of time-saving mode games is set to 100, and the majority is passed, that is, if the game is won in the 50th game or less, the time-saving mode is changed to the first danger mode. In case of winning the game with more than half of the game, that is, the game that has passed the 51st time, it was decided to shift from the short-time mode to the second danger mode. It is also possible to enter the second danger mode at an arbitrary time.
Further, after the transition to the first danger mode, it is possible to perform a lottery for the second danger mode transition in the game in the first danger mode, and further shift to the second danger mode by the winning.
