, The CPU 21 wins a prize in the first type starting port 19,
That is, the presence / absence of a detection signal from the first-type starting port switch 22 is determined. If the first type opening 19 has not been won (S1: NO), the first type opening 19 is awaited. Further, when a prize is won in the first type starting port 19 (S
1: YES), in S2, read the count values of the jackpot counter 27A, the reach counter 27B, and the hold counter 27C at the time of winning, and read the "jackpot count value", "reach count value", and "hold count value". In the memory 27.

Subsequently, in S3, the LCD display 12
It is determined whether or not the changing symbol displayed in is displayed. If the fluctuating symbol is not fluctuating (S3: N
O), in S4, the "big hit count value";
The "reach count value" and the "hold count value" are stored in the parameter storage area 27F as parameters for displaying the variable symbol, and the process is terminated. That is, the holding lamp 1
3 is not lit. In this case, the “hold count value” stored in the parameter storage area 27F is zero.

When the changing symbol is changing, (S
3: YES), in S5, it is determined whether or not the “hold count value” stored in the memory 27 in S2 is 4. And
If this count value is 4 (S5: YES), S6
, The “big hit count value”, the “reach count value”, and the “suspend count value” stored in the memory 27 are discarded, and the process ends. That is, the holding lamp 13
Remain lit for all four.

In S5, if the "hold count value" stored in the memory 27 in S2 is not 4, (S5
5: NO), that is, the “hold count value” is 0 to 3
In S7, the count value of the hold counter 27C is read in S7, 1 is added to the count value, and the count value is stored in the hold counter 27C again. The value is stored in the memory 27. Thereafter, in S8, one additional holding lamp 13 is turned on via the holding lamp driving circuit 33. Subsequently, in S4, the "big hit count value", the "reach count value", and the "hold count value" stored in the memory 27 are stored in the parameter storage area 27F as parameters for displaying the fixed fluctuation symbol, and the process ends. I do. As a result, up to four sets of “big hit count value”, “reach count value”, and “hold count value” are stored in the parameter storage area 27F in the first-type starting port 1.
9 are stored as display parameters of the fixed fluctuation symbol in the order of winning. Further, by such a lighting control process of the holding lamp 13, the same number of the holding lamps 13 as the count value of the holding counter 27C are turned on, and the holding counter 2 is given to the player.
The count value of 7C, that is, the number of parameters for displaying the fixed variation symbol stored in the parameter storage area 27F is displayed.

Next, the display control process of the variable symbol by the control circuit unit 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the display control processing of the variable symbol of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, when the display control processing of the variable symbol is started, first, in S11, the CPU 21 firstly stores the “big hit count value”, the “reach count value”, and the “reach count value” stored in the parameter storage area 27F. And the “hold count value” are read and stored in the memory 27. And this "big hit count value"
Is determined to match a predetermined jackpot value (the jackpot value is 7 in the first embodiment). And
If this "big hit count value" matches a predetermined big hit value (S11: YES), it is determined as a big hit, and in "S12", the "reach count value" is set in the "big hit reach table 41" (see FIG. 3). The "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "big hit reach type". For example, if the “reach count value” is 0
In the case of ６０60, the reach A type is determined as the “big hit reach type”. When the “reach count value” is 61 to 91, the reach B type is determined as the “big hit reach type”. further,
When the “reach count value” is 92 to 142, the reach C type is determined as the “big hit reach type”.

Subsequently, in S13, the fluctuation symbol of the reach mode of the "big hit reach type" determined in S12 is displayed on the LCD display 12 via the display control circuit 31. After that, "Big hit display" is displayed on LCD display 1.
2 and the process ends (S14).

If the "big hit count value" does not match the predetermined big hit value in S11 (S11: NO), it is determined as "losing" and S15.
In the above, the “hold count value” read in S11
Is determined to be 0 or not. And this "hold count value"
Is 0 (S15: YES), in S16,
The “reach count value” read in S11 is set as the “reach counter value” in the first loss-reach type table 42 (see FIG. 4), and the “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is set to “first reach value”. Loss reach type "
To be determined. For example, the “reach count value”
Is 0 to 16, the reach A type is determined as the “first loss reach type”. If the “reach count value” is 17 to 32, the reach B type is determined as the “first loss reach type”.
If the “reach count value” is 33 to 47, the reach C type is determined as the “first loss reach type”. Further, the "reach count value"
However, in the case of 48 to 142, there is no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the “first loss reach type”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the “first loss-reach type” is , About 1/3.

Subsequently, in S17, the fluctuation symbol of the reach mode of the "first loss reach type" determined in S16 is displayed on the LCD display 12 via the display control circuit 31, and the fluctuation symbol fluctuates. Further, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation symbol is obtained by setting the “hold count value” read in S11 as the “hold counter value” in the fluctuation time table 46 (see FIG. 8), and the “floating counter value” corresponding to the “hold counter value”. "Time" is the fluctuation time of the fluctuation symbol in this case. For example, when the “hold count value” read in S11 is 0, the changing symbol changes for 15 seconds. Also, S11
If the “hold count value” read out in step 1 is 1,
The moving symbol fluctuates for 10 seconds. When the "hold count value" read in S11 is 2 or 3, the changing symbol changes for 8 seconds. Further, when the "hold count value" read in S11 is 4, the changing symbol fluctuates for 5 seconds. As a result, when the count value of the hold counter 27C is large, the fluctuating symbol is stopped early, and the loss is displayed. Then, after the change for the predetermined time, S18
At the same time, the "losing display" is displayed on the LCD display 12, and the earliest "big hit count value", "reach count value" and "hold count value" stored in the parameter storage area 27F are discarded. Then, the processing after S11 is executed again.

In S15, if the "hold count value" read out in S11 is not 0 (S1).
5: NO), in S19, this “suspend count value”
Is determined to be 1 or not. And this "hold count value"
Is 1 (S19: YES), in S20,
The “reach count value” read in S11 is set as the “reach counter value” in the second loss-reach type table 43 (see FIG. 5), and the “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is set to the “second reach value”. Loss reach type "
To be determined. For example, the “reach count value”
Is 0 to 8, the reach A type is determined as the “second loss-reach type”. When the “reach count value” is 9 to 18, the reach B type is determined as the “second loss-reach type”. When the “reach count value” is 19 to 28, the reach C type is determined as the “second losing reach type”. Further, the "reach count value"
In the case of 29 to 142, no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the "second loss reach type".
Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the “second loss-reach type” is It is about 1/5.

Next, at S21, the hold counter 27
The count value of C is read out, decremented by 1, and stored again in the hold counter 27C. Then, in S22, one of the hold lamps 13 is turned off via the hold lamp drive circuit 33, and the player is notified that the count value of the hold counter 27C has been decremented by one. Then, the processing after S17 is executed.

In S19, if the "hold count value" read out in S11 is not 1 (S1).
9: NO), in S23, this “suspend count value”
Is 2 or 3. If the "suspend count value" is 2 or 3 (S23: YES), S2
In step 4, the "reach count value" read in S11 is set as the "reach counter value" in the third loss-reach type table 44 (see FIG. 6), and the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is set. It is determined as "third losing reach type". For example, when the “reach count value” is 0 to 2, the reach A type is determined as the “third losing reach type”. Also,
When the “reach count value” is 3 to 5, the reach B type is determined as the “third loss reach type”. When the “reach count value” is 6 to 9, the reach C type is “third loss reach type”.
Is determined as Further, the "reach count value"
However, in the case of 10 to 142, there is no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the “third loss reach type”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the “third loss reach type” is It is about 1/15. Then, the processing after S21 is executed.

In S23, if the "hold count value" read out in S11 is not 2 or 3, that is, if the "hold count value" is 4, (S23:
NO), in S25, the "reach count value" read out in S11 is stored in the fourth losing reach type table 4
5 (see FIG. 7), and the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "fourth loss-reach type". For example,
If the “reach count value” is 0, reach A
The type is determined as the “fourth losing reach type”. When the “reach count value” is 1, the reach B type is determined as the “fourth loss-reach type”. The “reach count value” is 2
In this case, the reach C type is determined as the “fourth losing reach type”. Further, when the “reach count value” is 3 to 142, no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the “fourth loss reach type”. Therefore, in this case, the fluctuation symbols of the reach mode (reach A type, reach B type, and reach C
The probability that a variable symbol of any of the types is determined as the variable symbol of the “fourth loss-reach type” is about 1/50.
It is. Then, the processing after S21 is executed.

As described in detail above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when a winning in the first-type starting port 19 is performed during the change of the changing symbol, each counter 27 at the time of the winning is set.
The count values of A, 27B, and 27C are read, and are set as “big hit count value”, “reach count value”, and “pending count value” (S1 to S2). Then, it is determined whether or not the “hold count value” at the time of winning is from 0 to 3 (S3, S5). Then, the “hold count value” is 0
In the cases of (1) to (3) (S5: NO), the "hold count value" is stored in the parameter storage area 27F together with the "big hit count value" and the "reach count value" as the display parameter of the fixed fluctuation symbol (S7). ). Then, the value obtained by adding 1 to the “hold count value” is stored again in the hold counter 27C, and one additional lamp is turned on (S8).

The variable symbol display control process reads the "big hit count value", "reach count value", and "hold count value" stored first in the parameter storage area 27F and reads the "big hit count value". Is a predetermined jackpot numerical value (S11: YES), the "jackpot reach type" is determined (S12), and the jackpot variation symbol is displayed on the LCD display 12 via the display control circuit 31 (S13). , S14).

If the "big hit count value" is not a predetermined big hit value (S11: NO), that is, if the game is lost, and if the "hold count value" is 0 (S15: YES), the "big hit count value" is set. The “reach type” corresponding to the “reach count value” is determined as the “first losing reach type” (S16). Then, the display in the reach mode is displayed on the LCD display 12 through the display control circuit 31 for about 1 hour.
A variation symbol of the “first loss reach type” that is generated with a probability of / 3 is displayed (S17, S18).

In the case of a loss and the "reserved count value" is 1 (S19: YES), the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach count value" is set as the "second loss-reach type". It is determined (S20). Then, the display of the reach mode is displayed on the LCD display 12 via the display control circuit 31 at a probability of about 1/5, and a "2nd loss reach type" variable symbol is displayed. 1 is subtracted, and the hold lamp is 1
The individual lamps are turned off (S17, S18, S21, S22).

In the case of a loss and the "reserved count value" is 2 or 3 (S23: YES), the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach count value" is changed to the "3rd loss-reach type". (S2
4). Then, the display of the reach mode is displayed on the LCD 12 via the display control circuit 31 at a probability of about 1/15, and a "3rd loss reach type" variable symbol is displayed. The count value of the hold counter 27C is displayed. Subtracted by 1,
One hold lamp is turned off (S17, S18, S2
1, S22).

Further, in the case of a loss and the "hold count value" is 4, (S23: NO), the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach count value" is set as the "fourth loss-reach type". It is determined (S24). Then, the display in the reach mode is generated on the LCD display 12 via the display control circuit 31 with a probability of about 1/50.
The variable symbol of "losing reach type" is displayed, the count value of the hold counter 27C is decremented by 1, and one hold lamp is turned off (S17, S18, S21, S22).

Accordingly, the holding counter 27C stored when a winning is made to the first starting port 19 while the changing symbol is changing.
And L based on each count value of the reach counter 27B.
The occurrence rate of the reach mode displayed on the CD display 12 is controlled to change to about 1/3 to 1/50 (S11 to S11).
S25) Since the probability of winning in the first starting port 19 and the occurrence rate of the reach mode are overlapped during the change of the change symbol, the reach mode for giving a notice that a game state advantageous to the player will occur will be variously varied. It is possible to have
Since it becomes difficult to predict the reach of the jackpot, it becomes possible to attract the interest of the player and to generate an interest.

Further, when the "hold count value" is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is changed so as to be low. Therefore, when the number of winning winnings is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode becomes low. Since the occurrence of losing reach is reduced and winning in the first opening 19 can be efficiently suspended, the probability that a gaming state advantageous to the player will occur increases, and the player's interest is attracted. In addition, it is possible to cause interest.

When the "hold count value" is large, the variable symbol stops early and the count value of the hold counter 27C is decremented early, so that the winning in the first opening 19 during the change of the variable symbol is achieved. Can be efficiently held, the probability that a gaming state advantageous to the player will occur is increased, and it becomes possible to attract the interest of the player and to generate interest.

Further, the “reach type” in the reach mode
Has reach A type, reach B type, and reach C
Since there are three types of types, it is possible to provide diversity in the reach mode for notifying that a gaming state advantageous to the player will occur, and it is possible to expect the reach to hit a jackpot. Since it becomes more difficult, it is possible to attract the interest of the player and to make the player more interesting.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment will be described.

Is substantially the same as the system configuration of the control circuit unit 20 of FIG. However, instead of the fluctuation time storage area 27E (see FIG. 2) provided in the memory 27 of the control circuit unit 20 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the memory 27 has a fluctuation counter 27G. Is provided. The output port 28 is connected to a change number display circuit 53 that drives the change number LED 52. In the reach type storage area 27D of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment, the above-described jackpot reach type table 41 (see FIG. 3) and the first losing reach type table 4 are stored.

Further, the change number counter 27G functions as change number counting means. The reach type storage area 27D functions as a reach occurrence rate storage unit. Further, a change number display circuit 53 and a change number display LED 52
Constitutes a change number display means.

Next, the display control processing of the variable symbol by the control circuit section 55 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the display control processing of the variable symbol of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 14 shows the second
“Big hit display processing” of the pachinko machine 50 according to the embodiment
5 is a sub-flowchart showing a sub-process of FIG. FIG. 15 is a sub-flowchart showing a sub-process of “losing symbol determination process” of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, first, in S31, the CPU 21
Is a jackpot counter 27A, a reach counter 27B,
"0" is stored in the hold counter 27C and the variation counter 27G, that is, each counter 27A, 27B, 2
7C and 27G are initialized.

Next, in S32, the CPU 21 waits for a winning in the first type starting port 19 (S32: NO).

When the first type starting port 19 is won (S32: YES), that is, when the detection signal from the first type starting port switch 22 is inputted through the input port 26, In S33, the first-type starting port switch 2
The numerical value stored in the jackpot counter 27A when the winning signal is input from 2 is substituted into the algebra V as the "big hit count value" at that time and stored in the parameter storage area 27F. Therefore, this algebra V has "0"
Any numerical value of “256” is substituted and stored in the parameter storage area 27F. At the same time, CPU2
Reference numeral 1 denotes a numerical value stored in the reach counter 27B when a winning signal is input from the first-type start-up switch 22 and substituted into the algebra X as a “reach count value” at that time and stored in the parameter storage area 27F. I do. Therefore,
Any numerical value from “0” to “142” is substituted for the algebra X and stored in the parameter storage area 27F.
At the same time, the CPU 21 adds “1” to the count value of the hold counter when the count value of the hold counter is less than “4” when the change symbol is changing. Then, the holding lamp 13 is controlled via the holding lamp driving circuit 33.
Lights one more.

Subsequently, in S34, the CPU 21
While determining whether or not the change of the variable symbol displayed on the LCD display 12 may be started, the process waits for the start of the variable symbol change (S
34: NO).

On the other hand, in S34, the CPU 21
If the variation of the variation symbol to be displayed on the CD display 12 can be started (S34: YES), in S35, a determination process for determining whether or not a "big hit" is performed. In the process of determining whether or not a big hit has occurred, first, an algebra V as a “big hit count value” is read from the parameter storage area 27F. Then, the algebra V is stored in the “big hit value” stored in the memory 27 (in the case of the second embodiment,
"7". Therefore, the probability of occurrence of “big hit” is 1
/ 257. ) Is determined. If they match, "1" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R ("0" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R when the power is turned on) and stored in the memory 27; “0” is substituted for the algebra R and stored in the memory 27. Subsequently, the jackpot algebra R is read from the memory 27 again, and it is determined whether the jackpot algebra R is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether it is a "big hit".

Then, in S35, the jackpot algebra R is read from the memory 27. If the jackpot algebra R is "1", it is determined that a "jackpot" has occurred (S35: YES), and in S36 , A sub-process of “big hit display process”.

Here, the sub-process of the "big hit display process" will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, when the "big hit display process" is started, in S45, a "big hit reach type determination" process is executed. First, the CPU 21 reads the "reach count value" stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and stores the "reach count value" in the jackpot reach table 41.
(See FIG. 3) “reach counter value” and “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is determined as “big hit reach type”. For example, when the “reach count value” is 0 to 60, the reach A type is determined as the “big hit reach type”. When the “reach count value” is 61 to 91, the reach B type is determined as the “big hit reach type”. Further, the “reach count value” is 9
In the case of 2 to 142, the reach C type is determined as the “big hit reach type”.

Subsequently, in S46, the fluctuation symbol of the "big hit reach type" reach mode determined in S45 is displayed on the LCD display 12 via the display control circuit 31.

Thereafter, in S47, the big hit symbol is selected from the memory 27 as the stop symbol (display symbol) of the current time, and is displayed on the LCD display 12. Then, a predetermined lamp or LED blinks, a sound effect is generated, and the atmosphere is excited.

Then, in S48, the CPU 21
The algebra N as the “number of times of change count” is read from the number-of-times-of-change counter 27G, and “0” is substituted for this algebra N, and stored again in the number-of-times-of-change counter 27G, that is, after the number-of-times-of-change counter 27G is initialized, Return to the main flowchart.

Next, when the sub-process of the "big hit display process" is completed, in S40, the CPU 21
Reads the algebra N as the “change count value” from the change count counter 27G, and reads the change count display circuit 53.
Is displayed on the variation count display LED 52 via. Therefore,
“0” is displayed on the variation count display LED 52, and the variation count is initialized.

In S35, if the "big hit count value" does not match the predetermined "big hit value"("7" in the second embodiment) (S35).
35: NO), it is determined as "losing", and in S37, a sub-process of "losing symbol determination processing" displayed in the case of "losing" is executed.

Here, the sub-process of the "losing symbol determination process" will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, when the "losing symbol determination process" is started, first,
In S51, an algebra N as a variation count value is read from the variation counter 27G, and whether or not this algebra N is greater than “100”, that is, the variation frequency of the variation symbol after the start or the “big hit” end is “ It is determined whether it is more than “100 times”. Then, when the number of times of the change of the changing symbol after the “big hit” is “100 times” or less (S5
1: NO), and in S52, the process of “determination of second loss reach type” is performed, and then the process returns to the main flowchart.

In the process of “deciding the second loss reach type”, the CPU 21 first sets the parameter storage area 27
The “reach count value” stored first in F is read out, and this “reach count value” is read as the “reach counter value” in the second losing reach type table 43 (see FIG. 5).
Then, the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "losing symbol". For example, when the “reach count value” is 0 to 8, the reach A type is determined as “losing symbol”. When the "reach count value" is 9 to 18, the reach B type is determined as the "losing symbol". Also,
When the “reach count value” is 19 to 28,
The reach C type is determined as the "losing design". Further, when the “reach count value” is 29 to 142, no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /.
5

On the other hand, in S51, if the algebra N as the number of times of change read from the number of times of change counter 27G is larger than "100" (S51: YE
S), that is, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the end of the "big hit" is more than "100 times", in S53, whether or not this algebra N is larger than "200", that is, after the "big hit" ends It is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol is greater than “200 times”. Then, the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the “big hit” is more than “100 times” and
In the case where the number of times is less than or equal to (number of times) (S53: NO), in S54, after executing the process of "determination of first loss reach type",
Return to the main flowchart.

In the process of “determining the first loss reach type”, the CPU 21 first sets the parameter storage area 27
The “reach count value” stored first in F is read out, and this “reach count value” is read as the “reach counter value” in the first loss reach type table 42 (see FIG. 4).
Then, the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "losing symbol". For example, when the "reach count value" is 0 to 16, the reach A type is determined as the "losing symbol". Also,
When the “reach count value” is 17 to 32,
The reach B type is determined as the "losing design". When the "reach count value" is 33 to 47, the reach C type is determined as the "losing symbol". Further, the “reach count value” is 48 to 14
In the case of 2, there is no reach, that is, the normal losing display is determined as the "losing symbol". Therefore, in this case, the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type)
Is determined as a variable symbol of the "losing symbol",
It is about 1/3.

In S53, if the algebra N as the change frequency count value read from the change frequency counter 27G is larger than "200" (S53: YE
S), that is, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the end of the “big hit” is larger than “200 times”, in S55, the process of “determining the third losing reach type” is executed, and then the process returns to the main flowchart.

In the process of “determining the third losing reach type”, the CPU 21 first sets the parameter storage area 27
The “reach count value” stored first in F is read out, and this “reach count value” is read as the “reach counter value” in the third loss reach type table 44 (see FIG. 6).
Then, the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "losing symbol". For example, when the “reach count value” is 0 to 2, the reach A type is determined as “losing symbol”. When the "reach count value" is 3 to 5, the reach B type is determined as the "losing symbol". When the "reach count value" is 6 to 9, the reach C type is determined as the "losing symbol". further,
When the “reach count value” is 10 to 142, there is no reach, that is, the normal loss display is “loss pattern”.
Is determined as Therefore, in this case, the fluctuation pattern of the reach mode (reach A type, reach B type,
And the variation symbol of any of the reach C types) is determined as the variation symbol of the “losing symbol”, about 1/15
It is.

Next, in S38, the reach mode variation symbols (variable symbols of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) determined in the sub-process of the "losing symbol determination process" or The normal loss design starts to fluctuate, and after a predetermined time fluctuation, is displayed as a loss design.

Subsequently, in S39, the CPU 21
The algebra N as a variation count value is read from the variation counter 27G, "1" is added to the algebra N, and the result is stored again in the variation counter 27G. As a result, the number of times the fluctuation symbol changes until the next “big hit” occurs after the start-up or the “big hit” ends is counted by the change number counter.

In step S40, the CPU 21 reads an algebra N as the number of times of change from the number-of-times-of-change counter 27G. , S32 and subsequent steps are executed. Therefore, after the start-up or after the “big hit” ends,
The number of times the changing symbol changes until the next “big hit” occurs is displayed.

As described above in detail, in the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment, the number of times of the change of the fluctuation symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” until the next “big hit” occurs is “100 times or less”. Until then, the CPU 21 reads out the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F and stores this “reach count value” in the second
The “reach counter value” in the loss reach type table 43 (see FIG. 5) is determined, and the “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is determined as a “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the fluctuation symbols of the reach mode (reach A type, reach B type, and reach C
The probability that one of the types of the variation symbol) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1/5. Also,
The number of fluctuations of the fluctuating symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” until the next “big hit” occurs is “more than 100 times 2
Until “00 times”, the CPU 21 reads the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and stores this “reach count value” in the first loss-reach type table 42 (see FIG. 4). The “reach counter value” is determined, and the “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is determined as the “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. 3. Further, if the number of times of the change of the changing symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” to the occurrence of the next “big hit” exceeds “200 times”, the CPU 21 stores the change symbol first in the parameter storage area 27F. The “reach count value” is read out, and the “reach count value” is set as the “reach counter value” in the third loss-reach type table 44 (see FIG. 6). "
Is determined as a “losing symbol”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. Fifteen. Then, the number of times of change of the changing symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” until the next “big hit” occurs is displayed on the change number display LED 52 via the change number display circuit 53.

Therefore, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of any of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the “losing symbol” is determined after the start-up or “big hit”. ”Is 1/5 until the number of changes of the fluctuation symbol after“ 100 ”, and when the number of fluctuations is“ more than 100 and less than 200 ”, 1 /
Since the ratio is 1/3, which is larger than 5, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is increased, and the player's expectation of the "big hit" can be increased. It becomes possible to attract strongly and to make it interesting. In addition, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of any of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the “losing symbol” is determined after the activation or after the “big hit”. If the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol is "more than 200", "100 or less"
Since the ratio is 1/15 which is smaller than 1/5 in the case of the above, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is reduced, the occurrence of the losing reach is reduced, and the display of the fluctuation symbol of the reach mode having a long fluctuation time is reduced. As much as it is possible to display a lot of normal loss symbols with a short fluctuation time, and the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol increases, the probability of occurrence of "big hit" increases, and the game continues for a long time It is also possible to strongly attract the interest of the player and to make the player more interesting. In addition, since the reach mode occurs according to the occurrence rate of the reach mode corresponding to the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the start or after the "big hit", even if the variable symbol stops at the "big hit", a "big hit" occurs It is possible to have a variety of reach modes, and it is difficult to predict the reach of jackpots, so even if you continue playing for a long time, it will attract players' interest. And it is possible to cause interest. Furthermore,
Since the count value of the change number counter 27G is displayed by the change number display LED 52 via the change number display circuit 53, the player can easily know the change number of the change symbol after starting or after the "big hit". The expectation for the next “big hit” is increased, and the interest of the game can be increased.

Next, a description will be given of a pachinko machine according to a third embodiment. The schematic configuration and the control circuit configuration of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment are substantially the same as those of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment. The control process is almost the same as that of the pachinko machine 50 (see FIG. 13). However, when the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment is “losing” (S35: N
O), "losing symbol determination processing" (S in FIG. 13)
The sub-process 37) is performed in the pachinko machine 5 according to the second embodiment.
Sub-process of "losing symbol determination process" of 0 (see FIG. 15)
Is different.

FIG. 16 shows a sub-process of "losing symbol determination processing" (S37 in FIG. 13) at the time of "losing" (S35: NO) of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment.
It will be described based on. FIG. 16 is a sub-flowchart showing a sub-process of a "losing symbol determination process" of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, when the "losing symbol determination processing" is started, first, in S61,
An algebra N as a variation count value is read from the variation counter 27G, and whether or not the algebra N is greater than “100”, that is, the variation frequency of the variation symbol after the activation or the “big hit” is “100” It is determined whether the number is larger. Then, when the number of times of the change of the changing symbol after the start-up or after the “big hit” ends is “100 times” or less (S61: N
O) In S62, after executing the process of "determination of first loss reach type", return to the main flowchart.

In the process of “determination of first loss reach type”, first, the CPU 21 sets the parameter storage area 27
The “reach count value” stored first in F is read out, and this “reach count value” is read as the “reach counter value” in the first loss reach type table 42 (see FIG. 4).
Then, the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "losing symbol". For example, when the "reach count value" is 0 to 16, the reach A type is determined as the "losing symbol". Also,
When the “reach count value” is 17 to 32,
The reach B type is determined as the "losing design". When the "reach count value" is 33 to 47, the reach C type is determined as the "losing symbol". Further, the “reach count value” is 48 to 14
In the case of 2, there is no reach, that is, the normal losing display is determined as the "losing symbol". Therefore, in this case, the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type)
Is determined as a variable symbol of the "losing symbol",
It is about 1/3.

On the other hand, in S61, if the algebra N as the number of times of change read from the number-of-times-of-change counter 27G is larger than "100" (S61: YE
S), that is, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the activation or after the end of the “big hit” is more than “100”, in S63, whether or not this algebra N is greater than “200”, ie, after the activation or It is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the “big hit” is greater than “200 times”. Then, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the start or the end of the “big hit” is more than “100 times” and equal to or less than “200 times” (S63: NO), in S64, the “decision of the second losing reach type” is performed. , The process returns to the main flowchart. In the process of “determination of second loss reach type”, first, the CPU 21 sets the parameter storage area 27F.
Read out the "reach count value" stored first,
The “reach count value” is determined as the “reach counter value” of the second loss-reach type table 43 (see FIG. 5), and the “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is determined as the “loss pattern”. . For example, when the “reach count value” is 0 to 8, the reach A
The type is determined as "losing design". When the "reach count value" is 9 to 18, the reach B type is determined as the "losing symbol". When the "reach count value" is 19 to 28, the reach C type is determined as the "losing symbol". Further, when the “reach count value” is 29 to 142, no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /.

In S63, if the algebra N as the change count value read from the change count counter 27G is larger than "200" (S65: YE
S), that is, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the start-up or after the end of the “big hit” is more than “200 times”, in S65, the process of “decision of third loss reach type” is executed, and then the process returns to the main flowchart. . First, the CPU 21 reads out the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and stores the “reach count value” in the third loss reach type table. 44 (see FIG. 6), the "reach counter value", and the "reach counter value"
Is determined as the "lost design". For example, the “reach count value” is 0 to 2
In the case of, the reach A type is determined as the "losing design". The “reach count value” is 3 to 5
In the case of, the reach B type is determined as the "losing design". The “reach count value” is 6 to 9
In the case of, the reach C type is determined as the "losing design". Further, the “reach count value” is 10
In the case of ~ 142, no reach, that is, a normal loss display is determined as a "loss pattern". Therefore, in this case, the fluctuation pattern of the reach mode (reach A type,
The probability that any of the reach B type and reach C type variation symbols) is determined as the “losing symbol” variation symbol is about 1/15.

As described in detail above, in the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment, after the start or the end of the "big hit", the number of times the changing symbol changes until the next "big hit" occurs is "100 times or less". The CPU 21 reads out the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and sets this “reach count value” as the “reach counter value” of the first loss reach type table 42 (see FIG. 4). The "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "losing symbol". Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. 3. In addition, after the start or the end of the “big hit”, the number of times of the change of the changing symbol until the next “big hit” occurs is “more than 100 times and 20 times.
Until “0 or less”, the CPU 21 reads out the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and stores this “reach count value” in the second loss-reach type table 43 (see FIG. 5). The “reach counter value” is determined, and the “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is determined as the “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. 5 Further, if the number of times of the change of the changing symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” to the occurrence of the next “big hit” exceeds “200 times”, the CPU 21 stores the change symbol first in the parameter storage area 27F. The “reach count value” is read out, and the “reach count value” is set as the “reach counter value” in the third loss-reach type table 44 (see FIG. 6). "
Is determined as a “losing symbol”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. Fifteen. Then, the number of times of change of the changing symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” until the next “big hit” occurs is displayed on the change number display LED 52 via the change number display circuit 53.

Therefore, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is determined after the start-up or the "big hit". Is 1/3 until the number of changes of the fluctuation symbol after "100", and when the number of fluctuations is "more than 100 and less than 200", 1 /
1/5, which is lower than 3 and the number of fluctuations is “200
In the case of "more than one time", it becomes 1/15, which is lower than 1/5, and when the number of fluctuations of the fluctuating symbol after startup or after "big hit" is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode sequentially decreases, and Since the occurrence of the pattern is reduced, the display of the fluctuation symbols in the reach mode having the long fluctuation time is reduced, and it is possible to display a large number of normal loss symbols having the short fluctuation time, and the number of times the fluctuation symbol changes. , The probability of occurrence of a “big hit” increases sequentially, so that even if the game is continued for a long time, it is possible to attract the interest of the player and to cause interest. In addition, since the reach mode occurs according to the occurrence rate of the reach mode corresponding to the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the start or after the "big hit", even if the variable symbol stops at the "big hit", a "big hit" occurs It is possible to give the reach mode that gives notice of various things, and it is difficult to predict the development of the reach to "big hits". And attracts interest. Further, since the count value of the change number counter 27G is displayed by the change number display LED 52 via the change number display circuit 53, the player can easily know the change number of the change symbol after starting or after the "big hit". The expectation for the next “big hit” is increased, and the interest of the game can be increased.

Next, a description will be given of a pachinko machine according to a fourth embodiment. The schematic configuration and the control circuit configuration of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment are almost the same as the configuration of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment, and the display control processing of the variable symbols of the control circuit unit 55 is also the same as that of the second embodiment. The control process is almost the same as that of the pachinko machine 50 (see FIG. 13). However, at the time of “losing” of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment (S35: N
O), "losing symbol determination processing" (S in FIG. 13)
The sub-process 37) is performed in the pachinko machine 5 according to the second embodiment.
Sub-process of "losing symbol determination process" of 0 (see FIG. 15)
Is different.

FIG. 17 shows a sub-process of "losing symbol determination process" (S37 in FIG. 13) at the time of "losing" (S35: NO) of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment.
It will be described based on. FIG. 17 is a sub-flowchart showing a sub-process of a "losing symbol determination process" of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 17, when the “losing symbol determination processing” is started, first, in S71,
An algebra N as a variation count value is read from the variation counter 27G, and whether or not the algebra N is greater than “100”, that is, the variation frequency of the variation symbol after the activation or the “big hit” is “100” It is determined whether the number is larger. Then, when the number of times of the change of the variable symbol after the “big hit” is “100” or less (S71: NO), S7.
In step 2, the process returns to the main flowchart after executing the process of "determining the third loss reach type".

In the process of “determining the third losing reach type”, the CPU 21 first sets the parameter storage area 27
The “reach count value” stored first in F is read out, and this “reach count value” is read as the “reach counter value” in the third loss reach type table 44 (see FIG. 6).
Then, the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "losing symbol". For example, when the “reach count value” is 0 to 2, the reach A type is determined as “losing symbol”. When the "reach count value" is 3 to 5, the reach B type is determined as the "losing symbol". When the "reach count value" is 6 to 9, the reach C type is determined as the "losing symbol". further,
When the “reach count value” is 10 to 142, there is no reach, that is, the normal loss display is “loss pattern”.
Is determined as Therefore, in this case, the fluctuation pattern of the reach mode (reach A type, reach B type,
And the variation symbol of any of the reach C types) is determined as the variation symbol of the “losing symbol”, about 1/15
It is.

On the other hand, in S71, when the algebra N as the change frequency count value read from the change frequency counter 27G is larger than "100" (S71: YE
S), that is, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after activation or after the end of the “big hit” is more than “100”, in S73, whether this algebra N is greater than “200”, It is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the “big hit” is greater than “200 times”. And
The number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the "big hit" ends is "100
Times "and less than" 200 times "(S7
3: NO), in S74, after executing the process of "determination of second loss reach type", return to the main flowchart.

In the process of “determination of second loss reach type”, first, the CPU 21 sets the parameter storage area 27
The “reach count value” stored first in F is read out, and this “reach count value” is read as the “reach counter value” in the second losing reach type table 43 (see FIG. 5).
Then, the "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as the "losing symbol". For example, when the “reach count value” is 0 to 8, the reach A type is determined as “losing symbol”. When the "reach count value" is 9 to 18, the reach B type is determined as the "losing symbol". Also,
When the “reach count value” is 19 to 28,
The reach C type is determined as the "losing design". Further, when the “reach count value” is 29 to 142, no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /.

In S73, if the algebra N as the variation count value read from the variation counter 27G is larger than "200" (S73: YE
S), that is, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after the start or the end of the “big hit” is more than “200 times”, the process of “determination of first loss reach type” is executed in S75, and then the process returns to the main flowchart. . First, the CPU 21 reads out the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and stores the “reach count value” in the first loss reach type table. 42 (see FIG. 4), the "reach counter value", and the "reach counter value"
Is determined as the "lost design". For example, the “reach count value” is 0 to 1
In the case of 6, the reach A type is determined as the "losing design". The “reach count value” is 17
In the case of ~ 32, the reach B type is determined as "losing design". Further, the “reach count value” is:
In the case of 33 to 47, the reach C type is determined as the "losing design". Further, when the “reach count value” is 48 to 142, no reach, that is, the normal loss display is determined as the “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. 3.

As described above in detail, in the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment, after the start or the end of the “big hit”, the number of times of the change of the changing symbol until the next “big hit” occurs becomes “100 or less”. The CPU 21 reads out the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and sets this “reach count value” as the “reach counter value” of the third loss reach type table 44 (see FIG. 6). The "reach type" corresponding to the "reach counter value" is determined as a "losing symbol". Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. Fifteen. Also,
The number of fluctuations of the fluctuating symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” until the next “big hit” occurs is “more than 100 times 2
Until “00 times”, the CPU 21 reads the “reach count value” stored first in the parameter storage area 27F, and stores this “reach count value” in the second loss-reach type table 43 (see FIG. 5). The “reach counter value” is determined, and the “reach type” corresponding to the “reach counter value” is determined as the “loss pattern”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. 5 Further, if the number of times of the change of the changing symbol from the start or the end of the “big hit” to the occurrence of the next “big hit” exceeds “200 times”, the CPU 21 stores the change symbol first in the parameter storage area 27F. The “reach count value” is read out, and the “reach count value” is set as the “reach counter value” of the first loss reach type table 42 (see FIG. 4), and the “reach counter value” corresponding to the “reach counter value” "
Is determined as a “losing symbol”. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the "losing symbol" is about 1 /. 3. And after startup or "big hit"
The number of times the change symbol changes until the next “big hit” occurs after the end is displayed on the change number display LED 52 via the change number display circuit 53.

Therefore, the probability that the variation symbol in the reach mode (variable symbol of any of reach A type, reach B type, and reach C type) is determined as the variation symbol of the “losing symbol” is determined after the start-up or “big hit”. ”Is 1/15 until the number of changes of the fluctuation symbol after“ 100 ”, and if the number of fluctuations is“ more than 100 and less than 200 ”, 1
/ 15, which is higher than / 15, and the number of fluctuations is "2
In the case of "exceeding 00 times", since it is 1/3 which is higher than 1/5, if the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol after startup or after "big hit" is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode becomes high, Since the player's sense of expectation for the "big hit" can be increased, even if the game is continued for a long time, the player's interest can be strongly attracted and interest can be generated.
In addition, since the reach mode occurs according to the occurrence rate of the reach mode corresponding to the number of fluctuations of the variable symbol after the start or after the "big hit", even if the variable symbol stops at the "big hit", a "big hit" occurs While it is possible to have a variety of reach modes that notify you that
Since it is difficult to predict the development of the reach into the "big hit", even if the game is continued for a long time, it is possible to attract the interest of the player and to generate an interest. Further, since the count value of the change number counter 27G is displayed by the change number display LED 52 via the change number display circuit 53, the player can easily know the change number of the change symbol after the "big hit", and Expectation for the "big hit" is increased, and the interest in the game can be increased.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described first to fourth embodiments. Of course, various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. May be used. (A) In the first embodiment, the reach counter 27B stores only the numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 142 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 37 as the count value. A jackpot counter that acquires a count value at the time of a jackpot, a first counter that acquires a count value when the “pending count value” is 0, and a second counter that acquires a count value when the “suspend count value” is 1. A reach counter 27B is provided with a counter, a third counter for obtaining a count value when the “hold count value” is 2 or 3, and a fourth counter for obtaining a count value when the “hold count value” is 4. You may.

In this case, for example, in the jackpot counter, a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 2 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 37 is stored as a count value. The first counter stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 9 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 37 as a count value. The second counter outputs 0 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 37.
Numerical values obtained by repeatedly adding 1 to 14 are stored as count values. In the third counter, a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 44 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 37 is stored as a count value. Further, the fourth counter includes a clock circuit 3
0 to 14 based on the clock signal input from
The numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 to 2 is stored as a count value. Then, when the count value obtained from any of the jackpot counter or the first to fourth counters at the time of winning the first starting port 19 is 0, the “reach type” is set to “reach A type”, In the case of 1,
The “reach type” is “reach B type”, and in the case of 2, the “reach type” is “reach C type”.
If it is not any one of 0 and 2, the "reach type" is set to "no reach", that is, the loss display.

As a result, the holding counter 27C stored when a winning is made in the first starting port 19 while the changing symbol is changing.
Is controlled so that the occurrence rate of the reach mode displayed on the LCD display 12 is changed to about 1/3 to 1/50 based on the count value of the first symbol. Since the probability of winning and the occurrence rate of the reach mode overlap, it is possible to give the reach mode that foretells the occurrence of the "big hit" with various varieties, and to develop the reach into the "big hit" Since it becomes difficult to predict, it becomes possible to attract the interest of the player and to make it interesting.

(B) In the third embodiment, the reach type of the "losing symbol" is determined based on the first to third loss-reach type tables 42, 43, and 44. For each reach type A, B,
The occurrence rate of C may be gradually reduced (for example, in inverse proportion).

(C) In the fourth embodiment, the reach type of the "losing symbol" is determined based on the first to third loss-reach type tables 42, 43, and 44. For each reach type A, B,
The occurrence rate of C may be gradually increased (for example, in direct proportion).

(D) In the second to fourth embodiments, the memory 27 does not have the fluctuation time storage area 27E. However, the fluctuation time storage area 27E is provided to store the fluctuation time data for the various fluctuation times of the fluctuation symbol.

As described above in detail, in the pachinko machine according to the first aspect, the occurrence rate of the reach mode displayed on the symbol display device according to the content of the symbol to be stopped of the variable symbol is:
Since the reach occurrence rate changing means changes in accordance with the game state, it is possible to have various varieties in the reach mode for notifying that a game state advantageous to the player will occur, and to continue playing for a long time. However, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of attracting a player's interest and generating an interest.

Further, in the pachinko machine according to the second aspect, in the pachinko machine according to the first aspect, after the variable symbol is started or stopped in a predetermined mode, the variable symbol is stopped until stopped in a predetermined mode. The number of times of change is counted by the change number counting means. Then, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is changed based on the count value of the change number counting means, the reach mode is generated according to the changed occurrence rate, and when the change symbol stops in a predetermined mode, the player is notified. An advantageous gaming state occurs. Thus, the occurrence rate of the reach mode changes based on the number of times the variable symbol changes after starting or after stopping the variable symbol in a predetermined mode until the variable symbol stops in a predetermined mode. It is possible to give various diversity to the reach mode that predicts that a gaming state advantageous to the player will occur even if it stops many times, and it is difficult to anticipate the development of the reach to the jackpot Therefore, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of attracting a player's interest and generating interest even if the player continues playing the game for a long time.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the pachinko machine according to the second aspect, when the count value of the variation number counting means is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is increased. Can be changed.

Can be changed. As a result, when the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is reduced, and the occurrence of losing reach is reduced, so that the reach symbol display having a long fluctuation time is reduced, and the fluctuation time is accordingly reduced. It is possible to display a large number of normal losing symbols with a short length, and since the number of times of changing the changing symbols is increased, the probability that a gaming state advantageous to the player will occur is increased, and even if the game is continued for a long time It is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of attracting a player's interest and generating an interest.

In the pachinko machine according to a fifth aspect, in the pachinko machine according to the second aspect, when the count value of the fluctuation number counting means is equal to or less than a predetermined first count value, the reach mode is not generated. When the rate is a predetermined first occurrence rate, and the count value is larger than a predetermined first count value and equal to or less than a predetermined second count value, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is equal to the predetermined occurrence rate. When the predetermined second occurrence rate is higher than the first occurrence rate, and the count value is larger than the predetermined second count value, the reach mode occurrence rate is higher than the predetermined first occurrence rate. It is a low predetermined third incidence rate. Accordingly, when the count value of the fluctuation number counting means is larger than the predetermined first count value and equal to or smaller than the predetermined second count value, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is higher than the predetermined first occurrence rate. Because of the incidence rate, the incidence of reach mode is higher,
It is possible to provide a pachinko machine that can increase a player's expectation of a “big hit”, and can strongly attract the player's interest even if the player continues playing for a long time and can make the player entertain. When the count value of the change number counting means is larger than a predetermined second count value, the reach mode occurrence rate is the third occurrence rate lower than the predetermined first occurrence rate. The occurrence rate is low, the occurrence of losing reach is reduced, the number of reach symbols with long fluctuation time is reduced, and it is possible to display many normal losing symbols with short fluctuation time, Because the number of fluctuations of the symbol will be more,
It is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of increasing the probability of occurrence of a gaming state advantageous to the player, attracting the player's interest even if the game is continued for a long time, and generating an interest.

[0117] In the pachinko machine according to claim 6, in the pachinko machine according to claim 1, after the variable symbol is started or stopped in a predetermined mode, the variable symbol is stopped until stopped in a predetermined mode. The number of fluctuations is counted by the fluctuation number counting means. In addition, the occurrence rate of the reach mode corresponding to each count value of the variation number counting means is stored in advance in the reach occurrence rate storage means. Then, the reach mode is generated in accordance with the occurrence rate of the reach mode corresponding to the count value of the variation number counting means, and when the variation symbol stops in a predetermined mode, a gaming state advantageous to the player is generated. Thereby, after the variable symbol is activated or stopped in a predetermined mode, the reach mode is generated according to the occurrence rate of the reach mode corresponding to the number of fluctuations of the variable symbol until the variable symbol is stopped in the next predetermined mode. A variety of reach modes can be provided in the reach mode for notifying that a game state advantageous to the player will occur even if the game is stopped several times in a predetermined manner, and it is anticipated that the reach will reach a jackpot. Therefore, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of attracting a player's interest and generating interest even if the player continues playing the game for a long time.

In the pachinko machine according to claim 7, in the pachinko machine according to claim 6, the occurrence rate of the reach mode stored in the reach occurrence rate storage means is a count value of the variation number counting means. Is large, the occurrence rate increases. As a result, when the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is increased, and the player's expectation of the "big hit" can be increased. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of strongly attracting the interest of the user and generating an interest.

[0119] In the pachinko machine according to claim 8, in the pachinko machine according to claim 6, the occurrence rate of the reach mode stored in the reach occurrence rate storage means is a count value of the fluctuation count means. Is large, the occurrence rate is low. As a result, when the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol is large, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is reduced, and the occurrence of losing reach is reduced, so that the reach symbol display having a long fluctuation time is reduced, and the fluctuation time is accordingly reduced. It is possible to display a large number of normal losing symbols with a short length, and since the number of times of changing the changing symbols is increased, the probability that a gaming state advantageous to the player will occur is increased, and even if the game is continued for a long time It is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of attracting a player's interest and generating an interest.

In the pachinko machine according to the ninth aspect, in the pachinko machine according to the sixth aspect, the occurrence rate of the reach mode stored in the reach occurrence rate storage means is a count value of the fluctuation number counting means. Is less than or equal to a predetermined first count value, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is a predetermined first occurrence rate, and the count value is larger than a predetermined first count value and a predetermined second count value When the count value is equal to or less than the value, the reach mode occurrence rate is a predetermined second occurrence rate higher than the predetermined first occurrence rate, and further, when the count value is larger than the predetermined second count value, Is a third occurrence rate lower than the first occurrence rate in the reach mode. Thereby, the occurrence rate of the reach mode stored in the reach occurrence rate storage means is equal to or smaller than the predetermined first count value when the count value is larger than the predetermined first count value and equal to or smaller than the predetermined second count value. Because the second incidence is higher than the incidence,
Increasing the reach mode, increasing the player's expectation of "big hits", can attract players' interest even if they continue playing for a long time, and can make them entertain Pachinko machines can be provided. When the count value is larger than the predetermined second count value, the reach mode occurrence rate stored in the reach occurrence rate storage means is a third occurrence rate lower than the predetermined first occurrence rate. Because of this, the occurrence rate of the reach mode is low, the occurrence of losing reach is reduced, the number of reach symbols with long fluctuation time is reduced, and more normal losing symbols with short fluctuation time are displayed accordingly. Since it becomes possible and the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation symbol will increase,
