At this time, immediately before opening the movable piece 131, an effect of notifying which movable piece 131 is opened is performed based on a predetermined probability set in advance. During the small hit game, when the game ball wins the open / close winning device 130 and passes through the V zone 132, the pachinko gaming machine 100 opens one of the left movable piece 131L and the right movable piece 131R a predetermined number of times. It becomes a jackpot game state.

  For example, when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 in the small hit for opening the left movable piece 131L, a big hit game for opening the left movable piece 131L a predetermined number of times is performed. Further, for example, when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 in the small hit for opening the right movable piece 131R, a big hit game for releasing the right movable piece 131R a predetermined number of times is performed. Thereby, a small hit game and a big hit game can be digested without changing the firing operation. In the first jackpot lottery, if a direct hit jackpot is won, it is determined by lottery which movable piece 131 is to be released, and the game shifts to a jackpot gaming state.

  When the jackpot state is reached, the pachinko gaming machine 100 executes a jackpot effect for the jackpot. In the big hit effect, a predetermined movie is displayed on the image display unit 220. Furthermore, in the jackpot production, the contents of the winning jackpot are guided to the player.

  After the jackpot state is over, if the jackpot is a “jacket with a short time”, the pachinko gaming machine 100 enters a short-time gaming state. On the other hand, if the jackpot is "no jackpot without time," the normal gaming state is entered. When the normal gaming state is reached, the above flow is repeated.

  Next, the game flow in the short-time game state will be described. In the short-time gaming state, the player makes a right turn and aims at the gate 140 and the second starting port 141. When the game ball passes through the gate 140, the pachinko gaming machine 100 performs the normal symbol lottery and displays the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 121 in a variable manner. Then, after 2 seconds, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol based on the lottery result of the normal symbol lottery.

  When a normal symbol is won in the normal symbol lottery (the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed is a symbol “○” that indicates a normal symbol), the pachinko gaming machine 100 uses an electric chew provided at the second starting port 141. Open 3 times in 1.2 seconds. When the game ball wins the second start port 141 during the opening, the pachinko gaming machine 100 performs the second big hit lottery and displays the special figure 2 of the second special figure display 122 in a variable manner. Then, after the predetermined period, the special figure 2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol based on the lottery result of the second big hit lottery.

  In the case of winning the small hit in the second big hit lottery (the special figure 2 that is displayed and stopped is a predetermined symbol indicating the small hit), the pachinko gaming machine 100 is the left movable piece 131L and the right movable piece 131R of the open / close winning device 130 Either one is opened for a predetermined time. At this time, immediately before the movable piece 131 is opened, an effect is given to notify which movable piece 131 is to be opened, and the player aims at the movable piece 131 to be opened and performs left-handed or right-handed. When the game ball wins the open / close winning device 130 during the opening and passes through the V zone 132, the pachinko gaming machine 100 is a jackpot for opening either the left movable piece 131L or the right movable piece 131R a predetermined number of times. It becomes a big hit state.

  For example, when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 in the small hit for opening the left movable piece 131L, a big hit game for opening the left movable piece 131L a predetermined number of times is performed. Further, for example, when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 in the small hit for opening the right movable piece 131R, a big hit game for releasing the right movable piece 131R a predetermined number of times is performed. Thereby, a small hit game and a big hit game can be digested without changing the firing operation. In the present embodiment, since the big wins in Special Figure 2 are all jackpots with a short time, in the short time gaming state, when winning a small hit and winning the V zone 132, 100 new short time games Transition to the state.

The detection unit 401 outputs a detection result to the open lottery unit 402 each time a winning of a game ball at the start port is detected.

  The opening lottery unit 402 has a function of receiving a detection result from the detection unit 401 and performing a lottery to release one of the movable pieces 131 when the detection unit 401 detects a winning of a game ball. For example, the opening lottery unit 402 performs lottery from a plurality of hits including a first hit for opening the left movable piece 131L and a second hit for opening the right movable piece 131R. Moreover, the open lottery unit 402 may perform a lottery from among a plurality of first hits having different opening times and a plurality of second hits having different opening times.

  In addition, when the detection result from the detection unit 401 is a detection of a winning game ball to the second start port 141, the open lottery unit 402 determines the winning probability per second from the winning probability per first. It is good also as a thing which sets high and performs a lottery. In addition, when the open lottery unit 402 detects a winning of a game ball to the second starting port 141 in the short-time gaming state, the lottery is set by setting the winning probability per second higher than the winning probability per first. It is good also as what performs.

  The control unit 403 has a function of receiving the lottery result from the open lottery unit 402 and controlling the opening of the movable piece 131 based on the lottery result. As described above, in the present embodiment, the movable piece 131 includes the left movable piece 131L and the right movable piece 131R, and the control unit 403 includes the left movable piece solenoid 131a connected to the left movable piece 131L, or Drive control of the right movable piece solenoid 131b connected to the right movable piece 131R is performed to control the opening of the movable piece 131.

  For example, the control unit 403 stops the left movable piece 131L at a predetermined position when the first lot is not won in the lottery of the open lottery unit 402 (normal time). Here, the predetermined position is a position that restricts the winning of the game ball to the open / close winning device 130 from the left movable piece 131L side, for example, the position shown in FIGS.

  The control unit 403 drives the left movable piece solenoid 131a to win the left movable piece 131L at one end side of the left movable piece 131L (for example, FIG. In FIG. 20-1 is rotated counterclockwise by a predetermined angle (for example, 45 °) around the rotation shaft provided on the lower movable piece 131L. Thereby, a game ball can be won from the left movable piece 131L side to the open / close winning device 130 along the left movable piece 131L.

  Therefore, the left movable piece 131L functions to limit the winning of the game ball to the open / close prize winning device 130 for the game ball passing through the left region of the open / close prize winning device 130 at the normal time. It functions to guide the winning of the game ball to the open / close winning device 130. Here, the left region of the open / close winning device 130 is, for example, a region through which a game ball passes when the player makes a left strike.

  Similarly, the control unit 403 stops the right movable piece 131 </ b> R at a predetermined position (see FIGS. 1 and 2) when the second winning in the lottery of the open lottery unit 402 is not won (normal time). . When the second winning combination is won, the right movable piece solenoid 131b is driven, and the right movable piece 131R is moved at a predetermined angle (for example, 45 °) around the rotation axis provided on one end side of the right movable piece 131R. , Rotate clockwise (see FIG. 20-2). Thereby, the game ball can be won from the right movable piece 131R side to the open / close winning device 130 along the right movable piece 131R.

  Therefore, the right movable piece 131R functions to limit the winning of the game ball to the open / close prize winning device 130 at the normal time with respect to the game ball passing through the right region of the open / close winning prize device 130, and at the time of winning the second winning It functions to guide the winning of the game ball to the open / close winning device 130. Here, the region on the right side of the open / close winning device 130 is, for example, a region through which a game ball passes when the player makes a right strike.

  The notification lottery unit 404 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to notify the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402. For example, a lottery is performed such that a random number is acquired, and if a specific random value is used, an effect of informing the lottery result is executed.

  When the lottery result of the notification lottery unit 404 notifies the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402, the notification unit 405 notifies the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402 using the notification member 406. In addition, when the notification unit 405 is in a special game state that shifts to a case where a predetermined winning is won in the lottery by the open lottery means, the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402 regardless of the lottery result of the notification lottery unit 404 Is notified. For example, in the present embodiment, the notification unit 405 displays the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402 when it is in the short-time gaming state that continues until winning a small number of hits a predetermined number of times after the jackpot state of “short-time jackpot” ends. Inform.

  For example, in this embodiment, when the lottery result of the notice lottery unit 404 informs the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402 or in the short-time gaming state, the notifying unit 405 uses the left movable piece 131L. If it is a small hit to be opened, the panel lamp 304 provided on the left movable piece 131L is caused to emit light, the image display unit 220 is displayed to open the left movable piece 131L, or any movable piece 131 is opened. Is displayed on the image display unit 220.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 may notify the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402 in a part of the normal gaming state (or part of the short-time gaming state). At this time, for example, the pachinko gaming machine 100 provides a plurality of types of variation pattern tables used in the variation pattern selection process (see step S808 in FIG. 8) such as a normal variation pattern table and a special variation pattern table. When the variation pattern selection process is performed using the table, the lottery result of the open lottery unit 402 is notified even in the normal gaming state.

  Switching between the normal variation pattern table and the special variation pattern table is performed when, for example, in a big hit lottery, a predetermined small hit for switching the change pattern table (hereinafter referred to as “special small hit”) is won. . For example, the pachinko gaming machine 100 switches to the special variation pattern table when winning a special small hit when performing variation pattern selection processing using the normal variation pattern table. When the variation pattern selection process is performed using the special variation pattern table, when the special small hit is won, the normal variation pattern table is switched. Further, the change pattern table may be switched when a big hit lottery is performed a specified number of times (for example, 30 times) since the previous switching.

  By configuring in this way, the pachinko gaming machine 100 can diversify the variations between when the lottery result of the open lottery section 402 is notified and when not, and further improve the interest of the pachinko gaming machine 100 Can be made.

  In addition, when the lottery unit 402 performs lottery from a plurality of hits with different times for opening the movable piece 131, the notification unit 405 may notify the opening time by the notification member 406 to be used. For example, in this embodiment, when the lottery result received from the open lottery unit 402 is a small hit that opens for 0.5 seconds, the notification unit 405 emits the panel lamp 304 provided on the corresponding movable piece 131. To let you know. Further, when the lottery result is a small hit that is opened for 1.0 second, the image display unit 220 notifies the user by displaying which movable piece 131 is opened.

  For example, the detection unit 401 causes the open lottery unit 402 and the control unit 403 to cause the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 to execute various programs stored in the ROM 312 by the first start port SW110a and the second start port SW141a. Thus, each function can be realized. Further, the notification lottery unit 404 and the notification unit 405 can realize their respective functions by causing the CPU 322 of the effect control unit 320 to execute various programs stored in the ROM 323.

(Timer interrupt processing)
Next, a timer interrupt process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process performed by the main control unit. The timer interrupt process is a process that interrupts the main control process executed by the main control unit 310 every predetermined period (for example, 4 ms) during the power supply period.

  In the timer interruption process, a random number update process (step S501), a switch process (step S502), a symbol process (step S503), an electric accessory control process (step S504), a prize ball process (step S505), an output process (step) S506) is executed to return to the main process.

  In the switch process in step S502, a start port SW process (see FIG. 6), a V zone SW process (see FIG. 7), and the like are performed. For example, in the start port SW process, a random number is acquired and stored in response to a winning of a game ball for the first start port 110 and the second start port 141. Further, for example, in the V zone SW process, a big hit game is started when a game ball wins the V zone 132.

  Further, in the symbol processing in step S503, special symbol processing (see FIG. 8) or the like is performed. For example, in the special symbol process, the fluctuation control of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is performed by winning a game ball with respect to the first start opening 110 and the second start opening 141.

  Further, in the electric accessory control process in step S504, a winning combination process (see FIG. 14-1) including a small hit game process (see FIG. 14-2) and a big hit game process (see FIG. 14-3). ) Etc. For example, in the small hit game process, the opening / closing control of the movable piece 131 is performed in response to the small win winning. Further, for example, in the jackpot game process, the opening / closing control of the movable piece 131 in the jackpot game is performed.

(Start-up SW processing)
Next, the start port SW process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a start port SW process performed by the main control unit. The start port SW process is a process content included in the switch process shown in step S502 of FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 determines whether or not the first start port SW110a of the first start port 110 is ON (step S601), and determines that the first start port SW110a is ON. If it is determined (step S601: Yes), it is determined whether or not the count value U1 of the first start port detection counter that has counted the number of detections of the first start port SW 110a is smaller than "4" (step S602).

  When the count value U1 is smaller than “4” (step S602: Yes), “1” is added to the count value U1 (step S603). Then, the random number is acquired, and the acquired random number is stored in the RAM 313 (step S604). The random numbers acquired here are jackpot random numbers, design random numbers, variation pattern random numbers, and the like. The big hit random number is one for determining a small hit, a direct hit big hit, or a loss that indicates the opening of the open / close winning device 130. For example, one hit random number is determined from 400 random numbers from “0” to “399”. Acquired at random.

  The design random number determines the type of jackpot, that is, the type of jackpot when shifting to the jackpot game by winning the V zone 132 (such as a jackpot with two rounds with a short time, two rounds without a short jackpot, etc.) For example, one symbol random number is randomly acquired from 250 random numbers “0” to “249”.

  Thereafter, a hold number 1 increase command indicating that the hold number 1 indicating the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 110 has increased is set (step S605). In step S601, when 1st starting port SW110a is not ON (step S601: No), it transfers to step S606. If it is determined in step S602 that the count value U1 is “4” (step S602: No), the process proceeds to step S606.

  In step S606, it is determined whether or not the second start port SW141a of the second start port 141 is ON (step S606), and when it is determined that the second start port SW141a is ON (step S606: Yes). Then, it is determined whether or not the count value U2 of the second start port detection counter that has counted the number of detections of the second start port SW 141a is smaller than “4” (step S607).

  When the count value U2 is smaller than “4” (step S607: Yes), “1” is added to the count value U2 (step S608). Then, the random number is acquired, and the acquired random number is stored in the RAM 313 (step S609).

  After the process of step S609, a hold number 2 increase command indicating that the hold number 2 indicating the winning of the game ball to the second start port 141 has increased is set (step S610). In step S606, when the second start port SW141a is not ON (step S606: No), the process is ended as it is. If it is determined in step S607 that the count value U2 is “4” (step S607: No), the processing is terminated as it is.

(V zone SW processing)
Next, the V zone SW process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the V zone SW process performed by the main control unit. The V zone SW process is a process content included in the switch process shown in step S502 of FIG. In FIG. 7, the CPU 311 determines whether or not the V zone SW 132b is ON (step S701). If the V zone SW 132b is OFF (step S701: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  If the V zone SW 132b is ON (step S701: Yes), it is determined whether or not the V zone 132 in the open / close prize winning device 130 is within the valid period, that is, within a predetermined period after the small hit is started (step S701). S702). If it is not during the effective period of the V zone 132 (step S702: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  If it is during the effective period of the V zone 132 (step S702: Yes), the V flag indicating that the V prize is won is turned ON (step S703). Then, a V winning command for setting a jackpot effect or opening the movable piece 131 is set (step S704), and the process is terminated.

(Special symbol processing)
Next, a special symbol process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing special symbol processing performed by the main control unit. This special symbol process is a process content included in the symbol process of step S503 shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 8, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 determines whether or not the winning game flag is ON (step S801). The winning game flag is a flag that is set when the stopped special symbol indicates a winning including a big hit or a small winning in the stop process shown in step S814.

  If the winning game flag is ON (step S801: Yes), the process is terminated as it is. If the winning game flag is not ON (step S801: No), it is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (step S802). If it is changing (step S802: Yes), the process proceeds to step S811. . If it is not fluctuating (step S802: No), it is determined whether or not the count value U2 of the second start port detection counter as the reserved number of game balls won in the second start port 141 is “1” or more. (Step S803).

  When the count value U2 is “1” or more (step S803: Yes), a value obtained by subtracting “1” from the count value U2 is set as a new hold number (step S804), and the process proceeds to step S807. In step S803, if the count value U2 is not equal to or greater than “1” (step S803: No), that is, if “U2 = 0”, the first start port as the number of game balls held in the first start port 110 is retained. It is determined whether or not the count value U1 of the detection counter is “1” or more (step S805). If the count value U1 is not equal to or greater than “1” (step S805: No), that is, if “U1 = 0”, the process is terminated as it is.

  When the count value U1 is “1” or more (step S805: Yes), a value obtained by subtracting “1” from the count value U1 is set as a new hold number (step S806), and the process proceeds to step S807. In step S807, jackpot determination processing is performed (step S807). The jackpot determination process will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 9, but the winning random number obtained when the game ball wins the first starting port 110 or the second starting port 141 matches the preset jackpot random number. This is a process for determining whether or not to do so.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in steps S803 to S806, the game ball won in the second start port 141 is digested earlier than the game ball won in the first start port 110. It has become. After step S807, variation pattern selection processing is performed (step S808). This variation pattern selection process is a process of selecting a variation pattern (variation time) of a special symbol using a variation pattern random number and a variation pattern table (not shown) for the current suspension.

  Thereafter, the variation of the special symbol is started (step S809). Further, a change start command is set in the RAM 313 (step S810). Then, it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has passed the variation time selected by the variation pattern selection process (step S811). If the fluctuation time has not elapsed (step S811: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  When the variation time has elapsed (step S811: Yes), the variation of the special symbol is stopped (step S812) and a variation stop command is set (step S813). Thereafter, the stop process is executed (step S814), and the process ends. The details of the suspension process will be described later with reference to FIG. 13. However, when the special symbol that is stopped indicates a win, a hit flag is set, or the short-time game flag indicating the short-time game state is set to a short time. This is a process of turning OFF according to the remaining number of times.

(Big hit judgment processing)
Next, the jackpot determination process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the jackpot determination process performed by the main control unit. This jackpot determination process is the details of the process shown in step S807 of FIG.

  In FIG. 9, the jackpot determination process performs a hit random number determination process for determining whether a jackpot or a small hit is made based on the hit random number acquired in the start port SW process (see FIG. 6) (step S901). In the hit random number determination process, a big hit random number determination table described later with reference to FIG. 10 is used. Then, it is determined whether or not the determination result of the hit random number determination process is a jackpot (direct hit jackpot) (step S902).

  When it is a direct hit jackpot (step S902: Yes), a design random number determination process is performed to determine the jackpot type such as the number of continuous rounds of the direct hit jackpot and the presence / absence of a short-time game (step S903). In the symbol random number determination process, a jackpot symbol is determined using a symbol random number determination table which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 11, 12-1, and 12-2. In the present embodiment, the direct hit jackpot can be won only by winning the first starting port 110, and the “15 round short hit jackpot” that opens the left movable piece 131L and the right movable piece There is a direct hit jackpot of “15 round round short jackpot” that opens 131R. Thereafter, a direct hit jackpot symbol is set (step S904), and the process is terminated. In the direct hit jackpot symbol set in step S904, “7” is set as the stop symbol of the first special figure indicator 120.

  In step S902, when it is not a direct hit big hit (step S902: No), it is determined whether it is a small hit (step S905). If it is a small hit (step S905: Yes), a design random number determination process is performed to determine the contents of the small hit indicating the number of rounds after the transition to the jackpot game state, the presence or absence of a short-time game, and the like (step S906). In addition, in this symbol random number determination process, the symbol random number determination table which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 11, 12-1 and 12-2 is used, and the type of small hit (content of big hit, movable piece to be opened, time to be released) is selected. decide.

  Thereafter, a small hit symbol is set (step S907), and the process is terminated. In step S905, if it is not a small hit (step S905: No), the off symbol is set (step S908), and the process ends.

(Example of jackpot random number determination table)
Next, the jackpot random number determination table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the jackpot random number determination table. In FIG. 10, the jackpot random number determination table 1000 includes a lottery result 1001, a start port type 1002, a range 1003, a ratio 1004, and a random value 1005.

  The lottery result 1001 is composed of a jackpot (direct hit jackpot), a jackpot, and a loss. The start port type 1002 includes a first start port 110 and a second start port 141. A range 1003 is a possible value of the acquired random number, and there are 400 “0 to 399”. A ratio 1004 is obtained by dividing the number of random number values 1005 by the number of ranges 1003.

  A jackpot in the lottery result 1001 indicates that a winning of a game ball to the first start port 110 is won at a ratio 1004 of 1/400. The jackpot indicates that the game ball won at the second start port 141 is not won. The small win indicates that winning is performed at a ratio 1004 of 300/400 by winning at the first start port 110 or the second start port 141.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the winning at the first starting port 110 shifts at a rate of 99/400, and the winning at the second starting port 141 deviates at a rate of 100/400. In the above example, the disparity is provided. However, in the above-described jackpot random number determination table 1000, the disjoint random number value 1005 is distributed to the jackpot random value 1005 and the small hit random number value 1005, and the disregard may not be provided. .

(An example of a design random number determination table by winning at the first start opening)
Next, the symbol random number determination table by winning to the 1st start opening 110 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a design random number determination table based on winning at the first start opening. In FIG. 11, a design random number determination table 1100 is a table used when a big hit or a small win is won as a result of the big hit random number determination by winning a game ball to the first start port 110. The symbol random number determination table 1100 includes a hit type 1101, an open movable piece 1102, a hit content 1103, an open time 1104, a range 1105, a ratio 1106, and a random value 1107.

  The hit type 1101 includes a jackpot (direct hit jackpot) and a jackpot. The open movable piece 1102 indicates the movable piece 131 that is opened at the time of a small hit, and is either the left movable piece 131L or the right movable piece 131R. The winning content 1103 indicates the number of continuation rounds of jackpot when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 during the small hit, and indicates whether or not there is a short-time game after the jackpot ends. “None” and “With 2 rounds shortened” and “15 rounds with shortened” indicating a direct hit jackpot.

  The opening time 1104 is a time for opening one of the left movable piece 131L and the right movable piece 131R at the time of a small hit, and is either 0.5 seconds or 1.0 seconds. A range 1105 indicates a range that the acquired random number can take, for example, 250 “0 to 249”. The ratio 1106 is obtained by dividing the number of random number values 1107 by the number of ranges 1105.

  In this symbol random number determination table 1100, in the big hit (direct hit big hit), when the acquired random number value is any one of 0 to 124, it is determined that the big hit of “15 rounds with a short time” that opens the left movable piece 131L is won. Show. In addition, when the acquired random number value is any one of 125 to 249, it indicates that the jackpot of “15 rounds with a short time” that opens the right movable piece 131R is won.

  Also, at the time of a small hit, if the obtained random number value 1107 is any one of 0 to 49, it is a small hit to open the left movable piece 131L for 0.5 seconds. It will be “no hit”. The ratio 1106 is 50/250. Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 50 to 99, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second. Become. The ratio 1106 is 50/250.

  When the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 100 to 149, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 0.5 seconds. Become. The ratio 1106 is 50/250. When the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 150 to 199, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second, and when winning the V zone 132, "2 rounds per short time" Become. The ratio 1106 is 50/250.

  In addition, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 200 to 209, the right movable piece 131R is a small hit that opens for 0.5 seconds. Become. The ratio 1106 is 10/250. Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 210 to 219, the right movable piece 131R is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second, and when winning in the V zone 132, “two rounds without a short time” Become. The ratio 1106 is 10/250.

  Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 220 to 234, it is a small hit that opens the right movable piece 131R for 0.5 seconds. Become. The ratio 1106 is 15/250. When the acquired random number 1107 is any one of 235 to 249, the right movable piece 131R is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second. Become. The ratio 1106 is 15/250.

  As described above, in the case where a small win is won by winning at the first start opening 110, one of the left movable piece 131L and the right movable piece 131R is set to be opened at the small hit, Left-handed and right-handed can be induced to the person, and this can improve interest.

(An example of a design random number determination table by winning at the second starting port)
Next, the symbol random number determination table by winning to the 2nd starting port 141 is demonstrated using FIGS. FIG. 12A is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a design random number determination table based on winning in the second starting port. In the description of FIG. 12A, the same reference numerals are given to those described in FIG. 11, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In FIG. 12A, the symbol random number determination table 1210 is a table used when winning a small hit as a result of determining a big hit random number by winning a game ball to the second starting port 141. The winning content 1103 of the symbol random number determination table 1210 includes the number of consecutive rounds of jackpot when the game ball passes through the V zone 132 during the jackpot, and the presence / absence of a short-time game after the jackpot ends. “4 rounds with a short time” and “16 rounds with a short time”, and “15 rounds with a short time” indicating a direct hit jackpot.

  Here, the reason why the symbol random number determination table 1210 for the second start port 141 is not provided with the 2 round jackpot is to allow the player to acquire a large number of balls. That is, after winning the jackpot and winning the jackpot during the short-time game, the short-time game state is entered again, and the function of the electric chew support makes it easier for the game ball to win the second start port 141. Further, in the short-time gaming state, the player is made to win a large number of rounds by winning 4 or 16 rounds.

  The symbol random number determination table 1210 indicates that a big hit (direct hit big hit) is not won in the lottery by winning the second start port 141.

  When the acquired random number 1107 is any one of 0 to 4, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 0.5 seconds, and when winning the V zone 132, "4 rounds with a short cut" Become. The ratio 1106 is 5/250. Further, when the obtained random number value 1107 is any one of 5 to 9, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second, and when winning the V zone 132, "4 rounds with a short cut" Become. The ratio 1106 is 5/250.

  Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 10 to 14, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 0.5 seconds. Become. The ratio 1106 is 5/250. Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 15 to 19, it is a small hit that opens the left movable piece 131L for 1.0 second. Become. The ratio 1106 is 5/250.

  Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 20 to 79, it is a small hit that opens the right movable piece 131R for 0.5 seconds. Become. The ratio 1106 is 60/250. Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 80 to 139, the right movable piece 131R is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second. Become. The ratio 1106 is 60/250.

  Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 140 to 194, it is a small hit that opens the right movable piece 131R for 0.5 seconds. Become. The ratio 1106 is 55/250. Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 195 to 249, it is a small hit that opens the right movable piece 131R for 1.0 second. Become. The ratio 1106 is 55/250.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol random number determination table 1210 is used in the symbol random number determination process by winning a game ball to the second starting port 141. If the probability that the right movable piece 131R is opened is higher than the probability that the piece 131L is opened, a symbol random number determination table corresponding to the gaming state may be used. For example, the symbol random number determination table 1210 is used when winning in the second starting port 141 in the short-time gaming state, and when winning in the second starting port 141 in the normal gaming state, the symbol random number determination described later in FIG. A table may be used.

  With reference to FIG. 12-2, an example of the symbol random number determination table used in the symbol random number determination process when a game ball wins the second starting port 141 in the normal gaming state will be described. FIG. 12-2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a design random number determination table based on winning in the second starting port in the normal gaming state. In the description of FIG. 12-2, the same reference numerals are given to those described in FIG. 12-1, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The design random number determination table 1220 is a table used when determining the winning type when a game ball wins the second starting port 141 in the normal gaming state. When the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 0 to 34, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 0.5 seconds, and when winning the V zone 132, it is “4 rounds with a short cut”.

The ratio 1106 is 30/250.

  Further, when the obtained random number 1107 is any of 65 to 94, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 0.5 seconds, and when winning the V zone 132, “16 rounds per short time” Become. The ratio 1106 is 30/250. When the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 95 to 124, the left movable piece 131L is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second, and when winning the V zone 132, "16 rounds per short time" Become. The ratio 1106 is 30/250.

  When the acquired random number value 1107 is any one of 125 to 159, it is a small hit that opens the right movable piece 131R for 0.5 seconds, and when winning to the V zone 132, it is “4 rounds with a short cut”. The ratio 1106 is 35/250. When the acquired random number 1107 is any one of 160 to 189, the right movable piece 131R is a small hit that opens for 1.0 second, and when winning the V zone 132, “4 rounds with a short cut” Become. The ratio 1106 is 30/250.

Further, when the acquired random number value 1107 is any of 220 to 249, it is a small hit that opens the right movable piece 131R for 1.0 second. Become. The ratio 1106 is 30/250.

  As described above, by providing a plurality of small hits with different opening times of the movable piece 131, it is possible to improve game play. Note that the specific values of the above-described symbol random number determination table 1100, symbol random number determination table 1210, and symbol random number determination table 1220 are not limited to this.

(Processing during stoppage)
Next, a stop process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the stop process performed by the main control unit. In FIG. 13, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 determines whether or not the hourly gaming flag indicating the hourly gaming state is ON (step S1301). The short-time game flag is a flag set in a game state setting process which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  When the time-short game flag is OFF (step S1301: No), the process proceeds to step S1305. When the time-short game flag is ON (step S1301: Yes), “1” is subtracted from the remaining time J of the time-short game (step S1302). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the remaining game count J of the short-time game is “0” (step S1303). When the remaining game count J is not “0” (step S1303: No), the process proceeds to step S1305. When the remaining game count J is “0” (step S1303: Yes), the time-saving game flag is turned OFF (step S1304), and the process proceeds to step S1305.

  In step S1305, it is determined whether or not the stopped special figure 1 or special figure 2 is a symbol indicating a direct hit jackpot (step S1305). If it is not a symbol indicating a direct hit big hit (step S1305: No), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 or special figure 2 being stopped is a symbol showing a small hit (step S1306). If it is not a symbol indicating a small hit (step S1306: No), that is, if it is a symbol indicating a loss, the process is terminated as it is.

  If it is a symbol indicating a small hit (step S1306: Yes), the small hit game flag is turned ON (step S1307), a small hit opening command is set (step S1308), and the process is terminated. In step S1305, when the stopped special figure 1 or special figure 2 is a symbol indicating a direct hit jackpot (step S1305: Yes), the direct hit jackpot game flag is turned ON (step S1309). Then, the remaining game count J is set to “0” (step S1310), and the time-saving game flag is turned OFF (step S1311).

  Thereafter, the jackpot opening is started (step S1312), the jackpot opening command is set (step S1313), and the process is terminated.

(Prize winnings processing)
Next, a winning combination process for operating the open / close winning device 130 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14A is a flowchart illustrating a winning combination process performed by the main control unit. The winning combination process is a process content included in the electric combination control process shown in step S504 of FIG.

  In FIG. 14A, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 determines whether or not the jackpot game flag is ON (step S1401). The jackpot game flag will be described later in the direct hit jackpot game flag (see step S1309 in FIG. 13) set in the in-stop process shown in FIG. 13 or in the small hit game process shown in FIG. This is a jackpot game flag set by the V winning of the open / close winning device 130.

  When the big hit game flag is OFF (step S1401: No), it is determined whether or not the small hit game flag is ON (step S1402). When the small hit game flag is OFF (step S1402: No), the process is ended as it is. When the small hit game flag is ON (step S1402: Yes), a small hit game process to be described later with reference to FIG. 14-2 is executed (step S1403), and the process ends.

  In step S1401, when the jackpot game flag is ON (step S1401: Yes), the jackpot game process described later with reference to FIG. 14-3 is executed (step S1404), and the process is terminated.

(Small game processing)
Next, with reference to FIG. 14B, the small hit game process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described. FIG. 14-2 is a flowchart illustrating a small hit game process performed by the main control unit. In FIG. 14B, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 determines whether or not the movable piece 131 is in the V effective period after the opening operation ends (step S1411). When it is during the V effective period after the opening operation of the movable piece 131 is completed (step S1411: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1422. If it is not during the V effective period after the opening operation of the movable piece 131 is completed (step S1411: No), it is determined whether or not the opening operation of the movable piece 131 is being performed (step S1412).

  When the opening operation of the movable piece 131 is being performed (step S1412: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1420. When the opening operation of the movable piece 131 is not in progress (step S1412: No), it is determined whether the opening time has elapsed (step S1413), and when it is determined that the opening time has not elapsed (step S1413: No). The process is terminated as it is.

  When it is determined in step S1413 that the opening time has elapsed (step S1413: Yes), the number of rounds R at the time of jackpot or the operation of the movable piece 131 based on the special symbol set by the jackpot determination process (see FIG. 9) An R number / actuation pattern setting process for setting a pattern is executed (step S1414).

  Specifically, the number of rounds set in the R number / operation pattern setting process is any one of 2 rounds, 4 rounds, and 16 rounds. At this time, the movable piece 131 that opens at the small hit and the opening time are also set. Then, a V effective period setting process for setting the V effective period including the effective period during the opening operation of the movable piece 131 and after the opening operation ends is executed (step S1415). Then, “1” is added to the round number R (step S1416).

  After step S1416, it is determined whether or not the left movable piece 131L is to be opened (step S1417). If it is determined that the left movable piece 131L is to be opened (step S1417: Yes), the opening control of the left movable piece 131L is started. (Step S1418). If it is determined in step S1417 that the left movable piece 131L is not opened (step S1417: No), the opening control of the right movable piece 131R is started (step S1419).

  After step S1418 and step S1419, it is determined whether or not the opening time of the movable piece 131 has elapsed (step S1420). If the opening time of the movable piece 131 has not elapsed (step S1420: No), the processing is ended as it is. When the opening time of the movable piece 131 has elapsed (step S1420: Yes), the opening operation of the movable piece 131 is ended (step S1421), and whether or not the V effective period after the opening operation of the movable piece 131 is ended is determined. Determination is made (step S1422). If the V effective period after the opening operation of the movable piece 131 has not ended (step S1422: No), the processing is ended as it is.

  When the V effective period after the opening operation of the movable piece 131 ends (step S1422: Yes), it is determined whether or not the V flag indicating V winning is ON (step S1423). The V flag is a flag set in the V zone SW process (see FIG. 7). When the V flag is ON (step S1423: Yes), the jackpot game flag indicating the jackpot is turned ON (step S1424), and the short-time game flag is turned OFF (step S1425).

  Then, the jackpot opening is started (step S1426) and the jackpot opening command is set (step S1427). Thereafter, the V flag is turned off (step S1428), the small hit game flag is turned off (step S1429), and the process is terminated. In step S1423, when the V flag is OFF (step S1423: No), the round number R is set to “0” (step S1430), and the process proceeds to step S1429.

(Big hit game processing)
Next, a jackpot game process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14-3 is a flowchart illustrating the jackpot game process performed by the main control unit. In FIG. 14C, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 determines whether or not the jackpot opening is in progress (step S1441). The opening refers to a predetermined time before the movable piece 131 is opened.

  If the jackpot opening is in progress (step S1441: Yes), it is determined whether a predetermined opening time has elapsed (step S1442). If the opening time has not elapsed (step S1442: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  When the opening time has elapsed (step S1442: Yes), it is determined whether or not the round number R is “1” (step S1443). In the determination in step S1443, the round number R being “1” indicates that the movable piece 131 has been released in the small hit game process (see step S1416 in FIG. 14-2). Indicates that it is not a direct hit jackpot. On the other hand, the fact that the round number R is not “1” indicates that the movable piece 131 of the open / close winning device 130 is not opened, that is, a direct hit big hit.

  When the number of rounds R is 1 (step S1443: Yes), that is, when it is a big win by V winning, the process proceeds to step S1445. On the other hand, if the round number R is not 1 (step S1443: No), that is, if it is a direct hit jackpot, based on the special symbol set by the jackpot determination process (see FIG. 9), An R number / operation pattern setting process for setting the operation pattern of the movable piece 131 is executed (step S1444).

  Specifically, the number of rounds set in the R number / operation pattern setting process is 15 rounds. Then, 0 is set to the winning number C indicating the number of winning game balls to the movable piece 131 (step S1445). Thereafter, a value obtained by adding 1 to the round number R is set as a new R (step S1446), and it is determined whether or not the left movable piece 131L is to be opened (step S1447). Here, when the game ball wins the V zone 132 in the small hit for opening the left movable piece 131L, it is determined that the left movable piece 131L is opened. Further, when the game ball wins the V zone 132 in the small hit for opening the right movable piece 131R, it is determined that the right movable piece 131R is released. Thereby, a small hit game and a big hit game can be digested without changing the firing operation. If it is a direct hit big hit, it is determined that the movable piece 131 selected in the symbol random number determination process in step S903 of FIG. 9 is released.

  If it is determined in step S1447 that the left movable piece 131L is to be opened (step S1447: Yes), the left movable piece 131L is opened (step S1448). When it is determined that the left movable piece 131L is not opened (step S1447: No), the right movable piece 131R is opened (step S1449).

  After the opening of the movable piece 131 is started in step S1448 or step S1449, it is determined whether or not an operation time of a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) from the start of opening has elapsed (step S1450). When the operation time has elapsed (step S1450: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1452. If the operating time has not elapsed (step S1450: No), it is determined whether or not the winning number C is a specified number (for example, 10) (step S1451).

  If the specified number has not been won (step S1451: No), the process is terminated. When the specified number is won (step S1451: Yes), the opening of the movable piece 131 is ended (step S1452). And it is determined whether it is the maximum round number R which shows the last round (step S1453).

  If it is not the maximum number of rounds R (step S1453: No), the process ends. When it is the maximum number of rounds R (step S1453: Yes), ending is started (step S1454). Here, the ending refers to a predetermined production time after the movable piece 131 is closed.

  After starting ending in step S1454, an ending command is set (step S1455). Then, the round number R is set to “0” (step S1456).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether the ending time has elapsed (step S1457). If the ending time has elapsed (step S1457: Yes), the game state setting process is executed (step S1458). The game state setting process will be described later with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the jackpot game flag is turned OFF (step S1459), and the process is terminated. If the ending time has not elapsed (step S1457: No), the process is terminated as it is.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot opening is not in progress in step S1441 (step S1441: No), it is determined whether or not ending is in progress (step S1460). If it is ending (step S1460: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1457. If it is not ending (step S1460: No), it is determined whether or not the movable piece 131 is being opened (step S1461). When the movable piece 131 is being opened (step S1461: Yes), the process proceeds to step S1450. When the movable piece 131 is not open (step S1461: No), the process proceeds to step S1445.

(Game state setting process)
Next, the game state setting process performed by the main control unit 310 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the game state setting process. The gaming state setting process is the process shown in step S1458 of FIG. 14-3. In FIG. 15, the CPU 311 of the main control unit 310 determines whether or not it is a jackpot with time reduction (step S1501).

  If it is not a jackpot with time reduction (step S1501: No), the process is terminated as it is. If it is a jackpot with time saving (step S1501: Yes), the time saving game flag is turned ON (step S1502). Thereafter, the remaining game count J of the short-time game is set to 100 (step S1503), and the process is terminated.

(Main process of production control unit)
Next, the contents of the processing procedure of the effect control unit 320 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the processing content of the main processing executed by the effect control unit. The main process is performed at predetermined intervals (for example, 4 ms) with respect to the main effect process (detailed description is omitted) that is continuously performed by the effect control unit 320 of the effect control unit 320 while the effect control unit 320 is activated. This is a process of executing an interrupt.

  In the main processing, first, command reception processing is performed (step S1601). The command reception process is a process of receiving each command transmitted from the main control unit 310 and setting a command including the production contents corresponding to the information included in each command, and details thereof will be described later with reference to FIG. After step S1601, effect button processing is performed (step S1602). The effect button process is a process of setting an effect button command to be transmitted to the image / sound control unit 331 when an operation on the effect button 105 is accepted.

  After step S1602, command transmission processing is performed (step S1603), and a series of processing ends. The command transmission process is a process of transmitting a command including information on the effect content set in step S1601 to the image / sound control unit 331 and the lamp control unit 340.

(Command reception processing)
Next, processing contents of the command reception process performed by the effect control unit 320 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of command reception processing performed by the effect control unit. The command reception process is the process shown in step S1601 of FIG. In the command reception process, first, it is determined whether or not a pending number increase command is received from the main control unit 310 (step S1701). The pending number increase command is a command set by the main control unit 310 in step S605 or step S610 in FIG.

  In step S1701, when the pending number increase command is not received (step S1701: No), step S1704 described later is performed. When a hold number increase command is received (step S1701: Yes), a hold number addition process is performed (step S1702). Thereafter, a hold number command is set (step S1703).

  After step S1703, it is determined whether or not a change start command has been received from the main control unit 310 (step S1704). If no change start command has been received (step S1704: No), step S1706 described later is performed. . The variation start command is a command set by the main control unit 310 in step S810 of FIG.

  In step S1704, when a change start command is received (step S1704: Yes), an effect selection process is performed (step S1705). The effect selection process is a process for selecting an effect to be performed during a change, and details thereof will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After step S1705, it is determined whether or not a variation stop command has been received from the main control unit 310 (step S1706). If a variation stop command is received (step S1706: Yes), processing during the end of variation presentation is performed (step S1706: YES). Step S1707). The change stop command is a command set by the main control unit 310 in step S813 of FIG.

  In step S1706, when the change stop command is not received (step S1706: No), step S1708 described later is performed. After step S1707, it is determined whether an opening command has been received from the main control unit 310 (step S1708). The opening command is a command set by the main control unit 310 in step S1308 or step S1313 of FIG. When the opening command is received (step S1708: Yes), a winning effect selection process is performed (step S1709). The winning effect selection process is a process of selecting a winning effect, and details thereof will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After step S1709, it is determined whether an ending command has been received from the main control unit 310 (step S1710). The ending command is a command set in step S1455 in FIG. If the ending command has not been received (step S1710: NO), the process is terminated as it is. If the opening command has not been received in step S1708 (step S1708: No), step S1710 is performed.

  If it is determined in step S1710 that an ending command has been received (step S1710: Yes), an ending effect selection process is performed (step S1711), and the process ends. The ending effect selection process is a process of analyzing the received ending command and selecting an effect to be performed at the time of ending.

(Winning effect selection process)
Next, the processing content of the winning effect selection process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18A is a flowchart of a process procedure of a winning effect selection process. The winning effect selection process is the process shown in step S1709 of FIG. In the winning effect selection process, first, an opening command is analyzed (step S1801), and it is determined whether or not it is a small hitting opening command (step S1802). When it is determined that the received opening command is not a small hit opening command (step S1802: No), a big hit effect is selected (step S1803), and step S1808 described later is performed.

  In step S1802, if it is a small hit opening command (step S1802: Yes), it is determined whether or not it is a time-saving gaming state (step S1804). When it is determined that the time-short gaming state is set (step S1804: YES), step S1807 described later is performed.

  If it is determined in step S1804 that the game is not in the short-time gaming state (step S1804: No), a small hit effect execution lottery process is performed (step S1805). The small hit effect execution lottery process is to perform a lottery such as acquiring a small hit effect random number and executing a small hit effect if it is a specific random value. Specifically, when the small hit effect random number is 10 numbers from “0” to “9” and the specific random number value is “7”, the small hit effect is executed with a probability of 1/10. Is. Note that specific random values and probabilities are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.

  After step S1805, it is determined whether or not the small hit effect is to be executed (step S1806). If the small hit effect is not to be executed (step S1806: No), the process is ended as it is. When executing the small hit effect (step S1806: Yes), the small hit effect is selected (step S1807). Specifically, the selection of the small hit effect is performed by selecting an effect to be performed during the small hit opening period and the small hit game using a small hit effect selection table described later in FIG. At this time, an effect that informs which movable piece 131 is to be released in the small hit game (hereinafter referred to as “notification effect”) is selected as the effect to be performed during the opening period.

  After step S1807, an effect start command is set (step S1808), and the process ends. The effect start command is a command including information on the effect selected in steps S1803 and S1807, and is transmitted to the image / sound control unit 331 and the lamp control unit 340.

  As described above, in the small hit game, the notification effect is performed in the opening period, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be performed during the special symbol variation display. The processing procedure in the case of performing the notification effect during the special symbol variation display will be described with reference to FIG.

(Direction selection process)
FIG. 18-2 is a flowchart of a process procedure of the effect selection process. The effect selection process is the process shown in step S1705 of FIG. First, in the effect selection process, a change start command is analyzed (step S1811). Thereafter, the number-of-holds subtraction process is performed (step S1812), and the variable effect pattern selection process for selecting the effect to be displayed on the image display unit 220 is performed (step S1813).

  After step S1813, it is determined whether or not it is a small hit (step S1814). If it is not a small hit (step S1814: No), step S1819 described later is performed. In step S1814, when it is a small hit (step S1814: Yes), it is determined whether or not it is a short time gaming state (step S1815). When it is in the short-time gaming state (step S1815: Yes), step S1818 described later is performed.

  In step S1815, when it is a normal game state (step S1815: No), a notification effect execution lottery process is performed (step S1816). The notification effect execution lottery process is the same process as the small hit effect execution lottery process described above with reference to FIG. 18A.
