Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attract the interest by a player even after a 'large winning' game is ended and to arouse the interest. SOLUTION: After executing a judgment processing for judging whether or not it is a 'time shortening/probability fluctuation mode', in the case that it is the 'time shortening/probability fluctuation mode', 'large winning' is generated by a high probability higher than a normal probability and the stop time of a fluctuation pattern is shortened (S1, S2, S3, S5 and S4). In the meantime, in the case that a 'large winning' processing is ended (S6: YES), the judgment processing for judging whether or not the 'time shortening/probability fluctuation mode' is acquired is executed. Then, in the case of acquiring the 'time shortening/probability fluctuation mode' by a prescribed probability, one time shortening/probability fluctuation acquisition display is selected and displayed from the plural kinds of the time shortening/probability fluctuation acquisition display by a prescribed selection probability. In the case of not acquiring the 'time shortening/probability fluctuation mode', one time shortening/probability fluctuation losing display is selected and displayed from the plural kinds of the time shortening/probability fluctuation losing display by the prescribed selection probability (S7, S8 and S10).

If the time saving / probable variable algebra L1 is “0”, it is determined that the time saving / probable variable algebra is not “time saving / probable variable mode”, and the “normal jackpot value” stored in the memory 27 in advance (in the case of the first embodiment, ,
"7". ) Is read out and stored in the memory 27 as the “normal jackpot value” as the “jackpot value”.
If the time saving / probable variable algebra L1 is “1”, it is determined that the time saving / probable variable mode is “time saving / probable variable mode”, and the “probable variable jackpot value” stored in the memory 27 in advance (in the case of the first embodiment, , “0-9”), and stores the “probable variable jackpot value” in the memory 27 as the “jackpot value”.

Next, in S3, the CPU 21 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a "big hit" has occurred. In the process of determining whether or not a big hit has occurred, first, the algebra V is read from the parameter storage area 27E as a "big hit count value". Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V matches the “big hit value” stored in the memory 27. If they match, "1" is assigned to the jackpot algebra R ("0" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R when the power is turned on).
And store it in the memory 27. If they do not match,
"0" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R and stored in the memory 27. Therefore, in the case of the normal game state other than the “time saving / probable change mode”, the occurrence probability of the “big hit” is 1/199.
It is. In addition, in the case of the gaming state of the “time saving / probable change mode”, the occurrence probability of the “big hit” is 10/199. As a result, in the case of "time saving / variable mode",
The probability of a "big hit" is about 10 times that of the normal case.

Then, 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". If the jackpot algebra R is “0”, it is determined as a loss (S3: NO), and in S4,
Loss processing is performed. In the losing process, first, a losing pattern of a variable symbol is selected. And again,
The time-saving / probable variable algebra L1 is read from the RAM 27. If the time-saving / probable variable algebra L1 is "0", it is determined that the time-saving / probable variable algebra L1 is not in the "time-saving / probable variable mode", and the variation pattern of the loss pattern is changed to the normal variation time (the In one embodiment, 6 to 8
Seconds. ) After the fluctuation, stop and execute the processing after S1 again. Further, when the time saving / probable variable algebra L1 read from the RAM 27 is “1”, it is determined that the time saving / probable variable mode is the “time saving / probable variable mode”, and the variation symbol of the losing pattern is shorter than the normal variation time. In the case of one embodiment, it is 2-3 seconds.)
The processing after S1 is executed again. Therefore, when the "time saving / probable change mode" is acquired, the waiting time until the "big hit" is shortened (in the case of the first embodiment, about 1/3).

At S3, the jackpot algebra R is read from the memory 27, and the jackpot algebra R is set to "1".
In the case of, it is determined that a "big hit" has occurred (S
3: YES), in S5, "big hit processing" is executed. In this "big hit process", when it is determined to be "big hit", the big hit symbol is the stop symbol (display symbol) of the time.
Is selected from the memory 27 and displayed on the LCD display 12. And the predetermined lamp and LED blink,
Sound effects are generated, and the atmosphere is excited. The large winning opening 17 is operated by the count switch 23 via the solenoid 38 when 25 seconds have elapsed or 10 pachinko balls have been won.
It is opened until detected by. In addition, grand prize mouth 17
When the special zone passage switch 24 detects a winning in the V zone provided in the special winning opening 17 during opening of the special winning opening 17, the special winning opening 17 is closed approximately two seconds after the special winning opening 17 is closed. 17 is released. That is, if the player wins the V zone when the special winning opening 17 is opened, the special winning opening 17 intermittently repeats the opening operation. The special winning opening 17 is opened intermittently up to 16 times.

Next, in S6, the end of the "big hit process" is determined. That is, it is determined whether or not the number of consecutive opening of the special winning opening 17 has reached 16 or whether or not the V zone has been won while the special winning opening 17 is being opened. And
If the "big hit processing" has not been completed (S6: N
O) The processing after S5 is executed again.

If the "big hit process" has been completed (S6: YES), a determination process is performed in S7 to determine whether or not the "time saving / probable change mode" has been acquired.
In the process of determining whether or not the "time saving / probable change mode" has been acquired, first, the algebra X1 as the "probable change lottery count value" is read from the parameter storage area 27E, and the algebra X
1 is a time saving / probable variable value stored in the memory 27 in advance (in the case of the first embodiment, “1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 1
3, 15 ". ) Is determined. (In the case of the first embodiment, the probability of occurrence of time saving / probable change acquisition is 8/16.)

Then, in S7, this algebra X1 becomes
If it matches any of the time saving and certainty variable values read from the memory 27 (S7: YES), in S8,
Execute “Time saving / probable change acquisition display processing”. This "time saving
The “probable change acquisition display process” is performed first in the parameter storage area 2
Algebra Y1 as “probable variable image selection count value” from 7E
Is read. Then, in the image data table 51 (see FIG. 4), “display image data” corresponding to the “count value” to which the algebra Y1 belongs is read, and the display control circuit 3
1 is displayed on the LCD display 12. Therefore, the algebra Y1 read from the parameter storage area 27E is

(B) → (c) → (d)) is displayed on the LCD display 12. Further, when the algebra Y1 read from the parameter storage area 27E is “4 to 7,” the “Niagara fireworks hit image” described later (FIGS. 9A → B) →
(C) → (d)) is displayed on the LCD display 12. These displays allow the player to know that the time saving / probable change mode has been obtained. Here, "
When the “probable change mode” is acquired, the selection probability that the “image per lottery drawing” is selected is 2/8,
The selection probability that the “image per launch fireworks” is selected is
The selection probability of selecting “Niagara fireworks image” is 4/8.

Subsequently, in S9, the CPU 21
Perform "Time saving / probable change mode setting". That is, the memory 27
, The time-saving / probable algebra L1 is read out, and “1” is substituted for the time-saving / probable algebra L1 and stored in the memory 27 again. Then, the processing after S1 is executed again.

On the other hand, in S7, if the algebra X1 read from the parameter storage area 27E does not match any of the time saving / probability variable values read from the memory 27 (S7: NO), then in S10 the "time saving / probable change" Display processing. " In this “time saving / probable change loss display processing”, first, the algebra Y1 as the “probable change image selection count value” is read from the parameter storage area 27E.
Then, in the image data table 52 (see FIG. 5), the “display image data” corresponding to the “count value” to which the algebra Y1 belongs is read and displayed on the LCD display 12 via the display control circuit 31. Therefore, when the algebra Y1 read from the parameter storage area 27E is “0 to 3”, a “lottery lottery loss image” described later (FIG. 7)
(A) → (b) → (d)) is displayed on the LCD display 12. When the algebra Y1 read from the parameter storage area 27E is “4 to 5”, a “fireworks loss image” described later (FIG. 8A → (b) → (c))
→ (e) is displayed on the LCD display 12. Further, the algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 27E
When 1 is “6 to 7”, a later-described “Niagara fireworks loss image” (see FIGS. 9A, 9B, 9C, and 9E) is displayed on the LCD display 12. . These displays allow the player to know that the time saving / probable change mode could not be obtained. Here, "Time saving / probable change mode"
If you can not get the "drawing lottery loss image"
Is 4/8, and the selection probability that the "fireworks lost image" is selected is 2/8.
Further, the selection probability that the “Niagara fireworks loss image” is selected is 2/8.

As described in detail above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when a pachinko ball wins in the first-type starting port 19, the starting port winning process is executed and the "time saving / probable change mode" is determined. (Time saving / probable variable algebra L1
Is determined as “0” or “1”. ) A determination process is executed (S1, S2). If it is not the “time saving / probable variable mode” (the time saving / probable variable algebra L1 is “0”), a “big hit” occurs with the normal probability (1/199 in the case of the first embodiment). At the same time, the fluctuating symbol stops in the normal stop time (in the case of the first embodiment, stops in 6 to 8 seconds) (S3, S5, S4). Further, in the case of the "time saving / probable variation mode" (when the time saving / probable variation algebra L1 is "1"), a high probability higher than the normal probability (10/199 in the case of the first embodiment). , A "big hit" occurs, and the stop time of the fluctuating symbol is shortened (in the case of the first embodiment, it stops in 2 to 3 seconds.) (S3, S5,
S4). On the other hand, when the “big hit” process is completed (S6: YES), a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the “time saving / probable change mode” has been acquired. When the “time saving / probable change mode” is acquired with a predetermined probability (8/15 in the case of the first embodiment), one time saving / probable variation acquisition is obtained from a plurality of types of time saving / probable variation acquisition displays. The display is selected with a predetermined selection probability, and “1” is substituted into the time-saving / probable variable algebra L1 and stored again in the memory 27 (S
7: YES, S8, S9). If the “time saving / probable change mode” is not obtained, one time saving / probable change display is selected with a predetermined selection probability from a plurality of types of time saving / probable loss display, and the time saving / probable algebra L1 is selected. "0"
Is stored in the memory 27 again (S7: N
O, S10, S11).

Therefore, the occurrence of the "big hit" and the presence / absence of the time saving / probable change are separately displayed on the LCD display 12, and the display of the presence / absence of the time saving / probable change is performed by one of a plurality of display modes. Since the mode is selected and displayed, it is possible to give various varieties to the display of the presence / absence of time saving / probability change, and a high probability state occurs in the display image of the presence / absence of time saving / probability change acquisition. It is possible to always give the player the expectation of whether or not to do it and a fresh image, and to attract the interest of the player to the pachinko game strongly,
In addition, it is possible to maintain interest. Also,
Since the indication of whether the probability change has been acquired is selected from a plurality of types of display image data each having a predetermined selection probability,
The “reliability in obtaining time savings / probable changes” of the display image indicating whether or not the probable changes have been acquired varies in various ways, and it is possible to strongly attract the player's interest in “acquiring time savings / probable changes” and increase the interest. In addition, "Reliability for time saving and probable change acquisition"
Changes variously according to the displayed image, so that an unprecedented game mode can be realized. In addition, since the plurality of types of display image data for displaying the time saving / probable variation acquisition correspond to the plurality of types of display image data for displaying the time saving / probable variation loss, `` time saving -It is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for "acquisition of probable change" and further increase the interest of the pachinko game. In addition, since the display of whether or not the time saving / probable change is acquired is displayed after the “big hit” game is completed, the player is provided with an expectation as to whether the “time saving / probable change” is generated after the “big hit” game is completed. This makes it possible to maintain a high level of expectation of the player for "acquisition of time savings and probable change" even during the "big hit" game. Further, in the case of the "time saving / probable change mode", the changing symbol stops in a shorter time than in the normal game state, so that it is possible to know in a short time whether or not a "big hit" has occurred. It is possible to maintain a high expectation for the occurrence of "big hits".

Next, the control circuit unit 9 constructed as described above
3 and a display control process of the display control circuit 31, such as acquisition of a specific state, will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of display control processing such as acquisition of a specific state of the pachinko machine 55 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG.
First, in S15, the CPU 92 sets the first starting port 75
Alternatively, when a winning in the second starting port 83A, that is, when a detection signal from the first starting port switch 76A or the second starting port switch 77 is input through the input port 94, a starting port winning process is performed.

This start-up opening prize processing is executed first by the CPU 92.
Is obtained by substituting the numerical value stored in the jackpot counter 93A when the winning signal is input from the first starting port switch 76A or the second starting port switch 77 into the algebra V as the "big hit count value" at that time. It is stored in the storage area 93E. Therefore, this algebra V has "0"
Any numerical value of “198” is substituted and stored in the parameter storage area 93E. At the same time, the CPU 9
2 substitutes the numerical value stored in the change counter 93B when the winning signal is input from the first start port switch 76A or the second start port switch 77 into the algebra X2 as the "change count value" at that time. Parameter storage area 9
Store it in 3E. Therefore, this algebra X2 has "0" to
Any numerical value of “9” is substituted and stored in the parameter storage area 93E. Further, at the same time, the CPU 92
Substitutes the numerical value stored in the image selection counter 93C when the winning signal is input from the first starting port switch 76A or the second starting port switch 77 into the algebra Y2 as the "image selection count value" at that time. Stored in the parameter storage area 93E. Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “7” is assigned to the algebra Y2 and stored in the parameter storage area 93E.

Subsequently, in S16, the CPU 92 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the "specific state mode" is set. First, the CPU 92 determines whether or not the “specific state mode” is in the specific state acquisition algebra L2 stored in the memory 93 (when the power is turned on, the specific state acquisition algebra L2).
Is substituted for "0"). When the specific state acquisition algebra L2 is “0”, it is determined that the mode is not the “specific state mode”, that is, the “normal mode”, and the normal data table previously stored in the normal data storage area 93H is stored. The “normal data” is read from 111 and stored in the memory 93 as “normal numerical value per symbol”. That is, "1" and "7" are stored in the memory 93 as "numerical values per symbol". When the specific state acquisition algebra L2 is "1", it is determined that the mode is the "specific state mode", and the "specific data" is read from the specific data table 112 stored in the specific data storage area 93I in advance. , Is stored in the memory 93 as “normal numerical value per symbol”. That is, the "normal numerical value per symbol" is stored in the memory 93.
Are stored as "2", "3", "4", "5", and "6".

Next, in S17, the CPU 92 executes a judgment process for judging whether or not it is a "big hit". In the process of determining whether or not a big hit has occurred, first, the algebra V is read from the parameter storage area 93E as a "big hit count value". Then, this algebra V is stored in the “big hit value” stored in the memory 93 (in the case of the second embodiment,
"7". ) Is determined. If they match, "1" is assigned to the jackpot algebra R ("0" is assigned to the jackpot algebra R when the power is turned on) and stored in the memory 93. If they do not match, the jackpot algebra R “0” is substituted for the algebra R and stored in the memory 93. Therefore, the probability of occurrence of "big hit" is 1/199.

Then, the jackpot algebra R is read from the memory 93 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". If the jackpot algebra R is "0", it is determined as a loss (S17: NO), and in S18, the algebra X2 as the "change count value" in the memory 93 is determined.
And displays the "change count value" in the display control circuit 3.
In addition to displaying on the normal symbol display device 60 via the "1", the "numeric value per symbol" is read out from the memory 93, and whether or not this algebra X2 matches any of the "numeric values per symbol", ie, the auxiliary prize device. It is determined whether or not 83 is opened. Therefore, in the case of the second embodiment, the "normal numerical value per symbol" is "1, 7" in the "normal mode".
Is read from the memory 93, and it is determined whether or not the algebra X2 matches any of the “ordinary symbol values”. Further, in the “specific state mode”, “2, 3, 4, 5, 6” that is “normal numerical value per symbol” is stored in the memory 93.
, And it is determined whether or not the algebra X2 matches any of the “ordinary symbol values”. Therefore,
In the case of the "normal mode", the probability that the algebra X2 matches the "numerical value per symbol" is about 2/10. Also,
If the "specific state mode" has been acquired, the algebra X2
Is approximately 5/1
0.

Subsequently, when the algebra X2 matches one of the “numerals per ordinary symbol” (S18: YE
In steps S) and S19, the CPU 93 sets the auxiliary prize winning device 8
3 is released via the second solenoid 83B until 5 seconds have passed or a winning of five pachinko balls has been detected by the second start-up switch 77, and then the processing after S15 is executed again. The number of winnings is stored in the holding counter 93D up to a maximum of four and held, and it is sequentially determined whether or not it is a "big hit" (see S17). Also, the CPU 9
Reference numeral 3 reads five prize balls for one prize of the auxiliary prize device 83 from the memory 93, calculates the payout number for the open prize number (maximum of five) of the auxiliary prize device 83, and outputs the output port. A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out through a prize ball payout system (not shown) via the prize ball 95. Accordingly, when the “specific state mode” is acquired, the probability that the auxiliary prize winning device 83 operates is higher than in the case of the “normal mode”, so that the player continues the game without decreasing the number of balls held. And the probability of occurrence of a "big hit" increases. On the other hand, if the algebra X2 does not match any of the “ordinary symbols per symbol” (S1
8: NO), and execute the processing of S15 and thereafter again.

In S17, the jackpot algebra R is read from the memory 93. If the jackpot algebra R is "1", it is determined that a "jackpot" has occurred (S17: YES), and the process proceeds to S20. , "Big hit processing". In this "big hit process", when it is determined to be "big hit", the big hit symbol is selected from the memory 93 as the stop symbol (display symbol) of the time, and is displayed on the video display device 59. Then, a predetermined lamp or LE
D blinks, a sound effect is generated, and the atmosphere is excited. In addition, the special winning opening 71 is opened via the first solenoid 71C until 25 seconds elapse or a winning of ten pachinko balls is detected by the count switch 71A. In addition, when a winning in the V zone provided in the special winning opening 71 is detected by the V switch 71B while the special winning opening 71 is open, approximately two seconds after the closing of the special winning opening 71, The special winning opening 71 is opened again. In other words, if the player wins the V zone when the special winning opening 71 is opened, the special winning opening 71
Repeats the opening operation intermittently. In addition, the special winning opening 71,
It is released intermittently up to 16 times.

Next, in S21, "big hit processing"
Is determined. That is, it is determined whether the number of consecutive opening of the special winning opening 71 has reached 16 or whether or not the V zone has been won while the special winning opening 71 is being opened. And
If the "big hit process" is not completed (S21:
NO), and execute the processing after S20 again.

If the "big hit process" has been completed (S21: YES), in S22, a determination process for determining whether or not the "specific state mode" has been acquired is executed. In the process of determining whether or not the “specific state mode” has been acquired, first, the algebra X2 as the “change count value” is read from the parameter storage area 93E, and the algebra X2
Is the “specific state acquisition numerical value” stored in the memory 27 in advance.
(In the case of the second embodiment, it is “1, 3, 5, 7, 9”). (In the case of the second embodiment, the occurrence probability of acquiring the “specific state mode” is 5/10.)

Then, in S22, the algebra X2
Matches any one of the “specific state acquisition numerical values” read from the memory 93 (S22: YES), S2
In 3, the “specific state acquisition display process” is executed. In this “specific state acquisition display processing”, first, an algebra Y2 as an “image selection count value” is read from the parameter storage area 93E. Then, in the image data table 51 (see FIG. 4), the “count value” to which the algebra Y2 belongs
Is read and displayed on the video display device 59 via the display control circuit 31. Therefore,
Algebra Y2 read from parameter storage area 93E
Is "0-1", the "image per lottery lottery" (see FIG. 7 (a) → (b) → (c)) is displayed on the video display device 59, and the player is finally displayed. Screen (Fig. 7
The display of “next high probability” displayed in (c) indicates that the “specific state mode” in which the auxiliary winning device 83 operates with a high probability of operation is obtained. The algebra Y2 read from the parameter storage area 93E is “2 to
In the case of “3”, the above “images per launch fireworks”
8 (a) → (b) → (c) → (d)) is displayed on the video display device 59, and the player displays the final display screen (FIG. 8).
The display of “next high probability” displayed in (d) indicates that the “specific state mode” in which the probability of the operation of the auxiliary prize winning device 83 is high is high. Further, the algebra Y2 read from the parameter storage area 93E is “4 to
7 ”, the above“ Niagara fireworks hit image ”
(See FIG. 9 (a) → (b) → (c) → (d)) on the video display device 59, and the player displays the final display screen (FIG. 9).
The display of “next high probability” displayed in (d) indicates that the “specific state mode” in which the probability of the operation of the auxiliary prize winning device 83 is high is high. Here, when the “specific state mode” is acquired, the selection probability that the “image per lottery drawing” is selected is 2/8, and
The selection probability that the “image per launch fireworks” is selected is
The selection probability of selecting “Niagara fireworks image” is 4/8.

Subsequently, in S24, the CPU 92 executes
Set the “specific state mode”. That is, the specific state acquisition algebra L2 is read from the memory 93, "1" is substituted for the specific state acquisition algebra L2, and stored in the memory 93 again. Then, the processing after S15 is executed again.

In S22, the algebra X2 as the “change count value” read from the parameter storage area 93E is replaced with the “specific state acquisition numerical value” read from the memory 93 (“1, 3” in the second embodiment). , 5, 7,
9 ". ) Does not match any of (2)
2: NO), in "S25,""specific state loss display processing" is executed. This “specific state loss display processing”
First, the algebra Y2 as the "image selection count value" is read from the parameter storage area 93E. Then, in the image data table 52 (see FIG. 5), “display image data” corresponding to the “count value” to which the algebra Y2 belongs is read, and the image display device 59 is displayed via the display control circuit 31.
To be displayed. Therefore, when the algebra Y2 read from the parameter storage area 93E is “0 to 3”, the above “lottery lottery loss image” (FIG. 7A → B) →
(D) is displayed on the video display device 59, and the player normally has a probability that the auxiliary prize device 83 will be activated by the display of “low probability next time” displayed on the final display screen (see FIG. 7D). It is possible to know that the "specific state mode" could not be acquired with the probability of. When the algebra Y2 read from the parameter storage area 93E is “4 to 5,” the above “launch firework loss image” (FIG. 8)
(A) → (b) → (c) → (e)) is displayed on the video display device 59, and the player can select the “next low probability” displayed on the final display screen (see FIG. 8 (e)). By the display, it is possible to know that the probability that the auxiliary winning device 83 will operate is a normal probability and the “specific state mode” cannot be obtained. Further, when the algebra Y2 read from the parameter storage area 93E is “6 to 7,” the above “Niagara fireworks loss image” (FIG. 9A → (b) → (c) →
(See (e)) is displayed on the video display device 59, and the player normally has a probability that the auxiliary prize device 83 will be activated by the display of “next low probability” displayed on the final display screen (see FIG. 9 (e)). It is possible to know that the "specific state mode" could not be acquired with the probability of. Here, when the “specific state mode” cannot be acquired, the selection probability that the “lucky lottery loss image” is selected is 4/8, and
The selection probability that “Launch Fireworks Lost Image” is selected is
The selection probability that the “Niagara fireworks loss image” is selected is ／.

Subsequently, in S26, the CPU 92 executes
Perform “Normal mode setting”. That is, the specific state acquisition algebra L2 is read from the memory 93, "0" is substituted for the specific state acquisition algebra L2, and the result is stored in the memory 93 again.
Then, the processing after S15 is executed again.

As described in detail above, in the pachinko machine 55 according to the second embodiment, when a pachinko ball wins in the first starting port 75A or the second starting port 83A, the starting port winning process is executed and the "specific state" Mode ”(determination whether the specific state acquisition algebra L2 is“ 0 ”or“ 1 ”) is performed (S15, S16). If it is not the “specific state mode” (the specific state acquisition algebra L2 is “0”), the normal data table 111
Is read from the memory and stored in the memory 93 as a “normal numerical value per symbol”. In the case of the "specific state mode" (when the specific state acquisition algebra L2 is "1"), "specific data" is read from the specific data table 112 and stored in the memory 93 as "normal numerical value per symbol" ( S16). Next, a process of determining whether or not a "big hit" is performed, and in the case of "losing", the "change count value" stored in the parameter storage area 93E matches one of the "numerals per ordinary symbol". If you do
The "change count value" is displayed on the auxiliary symbol display device 60, and the auxiliary winning device 83 is activated (S17: N).
O, S18, S19). In the case of "big hit", "big hit" processing is performed (S17: YES, S
20, S21). Then, a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the “specific state mode” has been acquired. When the “specific state mode” is acquired with a predetermined probability (5/10 in the second embodiment), one specific state acquisition display is determined from a plurality of types of specific state acquisition displays. , And displayed on the video display device 59, and "1" is substituted for the specific state acquisition algebra L2, and is stored again in the memory 93 (S22: YES, S23, S2).
4). When the “specific state mode” is not obtained, one specific state loss display is selected from a plurality of types of specific state loss displays with a predetermined selection probability, displayed on the video display device 59, and displayed. “0” is substituted into the state acquisition algebra L2, and is stored again in the memory 93 (S2).
2: NO, S25, S26).

Accordingly, the occurrence of the "big hit" and the presence / absence of the "specific state mode acquisition" are separately displayed on the video display device 59, and the presence / absence of the "specific state mode" acquisition is displayed by a plurality of displays. Since one display mode is selected and displayed from the modes, it is possible to have various varieties in the display of the presence or absence of the “specific state mode” acquisition,
It is possible for the player to always have a feeling of expectation and a fresh image of whether or not the probability that the auxiliary prize device 83 will operate will be in a high probability state with respect to the display image indicating whether or not the “specific state mode” has been acquired. Therefore, it is possible to strongly attract the interest of the player to the pachinko game and maintain the interest. In addition, since the display of the presence / absence of the “specific state mode” is selected from a plurality of types of display image data each having a predetermined selection probability, the “specific state mode” acquisition The "reliability in obtaining the state mode" changes in various ways, and the player's interest in the "acquisition of the specific state mode" can be strongly attracted and the interest can be increased. In addition, since the “reliability for acquiring the specific state mode” changes variously depending on the displayed image, an unprecedented game mode can be realized. In addition, since the plurality of types of display image data indicating “acquisition of the specific state mode” are contents corresponding to the plurality of types of display image data indicating “losing” in which the “specific state mode” could not be acquired,
Until the final result display of the acquisition of the "specific state mode", the expectation of "acquisition of the specific state mode" can be maintained, and the interest of the pachinko game can be further increased. Also,
In the “specific state mode”, the auxiliary winning device 83
Since it operates with a probability of / 10, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the ball possessed by the player, to further attract the player's interest to the pachinko game, and to maintain the interest.

Next, the control circuit unit 1 thus configured
15 and the display control processing of the display control circuit 117 such as the acquisition of the probability variation will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19.
FIG. 18 is a control circuit section 1 of a pachinko machine according to the third embodiment.
15 is a flowchart of display control processing such as probability fluctuation acquisition executed by the CPU 21 of FIG. FIG. 19 shows the display CPU 4 of the display control circuit 117 of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment.
6 is a flowchart of a display control process such as acquisition of a probability variation executed by the first embodiment.

First, the control circuit unit 11 according to the third embodiment
The display control processing such as the probability fluctuation acquisition executed by the CPU 21 of No. 5 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 18, in S31, the CPU 21 sets the
In the case where the winning of the game No. 9 is achieved, that is, when the detection signal from the first-type starting opening switch 22 is input through the input port 26, the starting opening winning processing is performed.

This start-up opening prize processing is performed first by the CPU 21
The algebra V3 uses the numerical value stored in the jackpot counter 116A when the winning signal is input from the first-type start-up switch 22 as the "jackpot count value" at that time.
And stored in the parameter storage area 116D.
Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “198” is substituted for the algebra V3 and stored in the parameter storage area 116D. At the same time, the CPU 21 substitutes the numerical value stored in the probability-change lottery counter 116B when the winning signal is input from the first-type starting port switch 22 into the algebra X3 as the “probability-change lottery count value” at that time. It is stored in the parameter storage area 116D. Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “15” is substituted for the algebra X3 and stored in the parameter storage area 116D.

Subsequently, in S32, the CPU 21 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the "time saving / probable change mode" is set. The process of determining whether or not the “time saving / probable change mode” is
First, the CPU 21 saves the time-saving / probable variable algebra L3 stored in the memory 116 (when the power is turned on, the time-saving / probable variable algebra L3).
Is substituted for "0"). If the time saving / probable variable algebra L3 is "0", it is determined that the time saving / probable variable algebra is not the "time saving / probable variable mode", and the "normal jackpot value" stored in the memory 116 in advance (in the case of the third embodiment, , "7"), and stores the "ordinary jackpot value" in the memory 116 as the "jackpot value". When the time saving / probable variable algebra L3 is "1",
It is determined that the time saving / probable change mode has been set, and the memory 1
Then, the “probably variable jackpot value” (“0 to 9” in the case of the third embodiment) stored in 16 is read out, and the “probably variable jackpot value” is stored in the memory 116 as the “big jackpot value”.

Next, in S33, the CPU 21 executes a judgment process for judging whether or not it is a "big hit". The process of determining whether or not this is a jackpot is performed by first determining an algebra V as a “jackpot count value” from the parameter storage area 116D.
Read 3 This algebra V3 is stored in the memory 116
It is determined whether or not the value matches the “big hit value” stored in the. If they match, "1" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R3 ("0" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R3 when the power is turned on) and stored in the memory 116; "0" is substituted for the algebra R3 and stored in the memory 116. Therefore, in the case of a normal game state other than the “time saving / probable change mode”, the occurrence probability of “big hit” is 1/199. In addition, in the case of the gaming state of the “time saving / probable change mode”, the occurrence probability of the “big hit” is 10/199. As a result, in the case of the “time saving / probable change mode”, the probability of the “big hit” is about ten times that in the normal case.

Then, the jackpot algebra R3 is read out again from the memory 116, and the jackpot algebra R3 becomes "0".
Or “1”. That is, it is determined whether it is a "big hit". If the jackpot algebra R3 is "0", it is determined as a loss (S33: NO), and S34 is determined.
In, after executing the “lost symbol display instruction”, the CPU 21 again executes the processing after S31. This "loss symbol display instruction" first reads the time-saving / probable variable algebra L3 from the RAM 116, and when the time-saving / probable variable algebra L3 is "0", determines that the time saving / probable variable algebra L3 is not in the "time saving / probable variable mode" and outputs the output port. A “normal loss symbol display instruction” is output to the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 via the display control circuit 117. Also, the time-saving / probable algebra L3 is read from the RAM 116, and when the time-saving / probable algebra L3 is "1",
Judgment of “time saving / probable change mode” and output port 2
Then, a "loss design display instruction in the probable change mode" is output to the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 via the display control circuit 117.

In S33, the jackpot algebra R3 is read from the memory 116, and the jackpot algebra R3 is read.
Is "1", it is determined that a "big hit" has occurred (S33: YES), and in S35, the CPU 21
Outputs a "big hit symbol display instruction" to the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 via the output port 28.

Subsequently, in S36, the CPU 21
Execute "big hit processing". This "big hit"
The large winning opening 17 is opened via the solenoid 38 until 25 seconds elapse or the winning of ten pachinko balls is detected by the count switch 23, and the “winning number” counted by the count switch 23 is The data is output to the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 via the output port 28. When the special zone passage switch 24 detects a winning in the V zone provided in the special winning opening 17 while the special winning opening 17 is open,
Approximately two seconds after the special winning opening 17 is closed, the special winning opening 17 is opened again and “opening number data” is output to the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 via the output port 28. . Therefore, if the player wins the V zone when the special winning opening 17 is opened, the special winning opening 17 repeats the opening operation intermittently. The special winning opening 17 is opened intermittently up to 16 times. Also, at the same time, predetermined lamps and LEDs
Blinks, a sound effect is generated, and the atmosphere is excited.

Next, in S37, "big hit processing"
Is determined. That is, it is determined whether or not the number of consecutive opening of the special winning opening 17 has reached 16 or whether or not the V zone has been won while the special winning opening 17 is being opened. And
If the "big hit process" has not been completed (S37:
NO), and execute the processing after S36 again.

When the "big hit process" is completed (S37: YES), in S38, the output port 2
After outputting the “big hit symbol display end instruction” to the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 via the display control unit 8, a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the “time saving / probable change mode” has been acquired. In the process of determining whether or not the “time saving / probable variation mode” has been acquired, first, the algebra X3 as the “probable variation lottery count value” is read from the parameter storage area 116D, and the algebra X3 is stored in the memory 116 in advance. Time saving / probable variable value (in the case of the third embodiment, “1, 3, 5, 7, 9,
11, 13, 15 ". ) Is determined. (In the case of the third embodiment, the probability of occurrence of time saving / probable change acquisition is 8/16.)

Then, in S38, this algebra X3
Is equal to any of the time saving / probability variable values read from the memory 116 (S38: YES), the CPU 21 instructs the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 to output the "time saving / probability Acquisition symbol display instruction "is output.

Subsequently, in S40, the CPU 21
Perform "Time saving / probable change mode setting". That is, the memory 11
The time-saving / probable variable algebra L3 is read from 6, and “1” is substituted into the time-saving / probable variable algebra L3 and stored in the memory 116 again. Then, the processes after S31 are executed again.

On the other hand, in S38, the algebra X3 read from the parameter storage area 116D is stored in the memory 116.
If it does not match any of the time saving / probability variable values read from the CPU (S38: NO), in S41, the CPU 2
1 outputs a "time saving / variable loss symbol display instruction" to the display CPU 41 of the display control circuit 117 via the output port 28.

Subsequently, in S42, the CPU 21
Perform “Normal mode setting”. That is, the time-saving / probable algebra L3 is read from the memory 116, and the time-saving / probable algebra L3 is read out.
3 is substituted for “0” and stored in the memory 116 again.
Then, the processes after S31 are executed again.

Next, the display control circuit 1 according to the third embodiment

It is one of "big hit symbol display instruction", "time saving / probable variation acquisition symbol display instruction", or "time saving / probable variation loss symbol display instruction". ) (S45: NO).

When the "design display instruction" is input (S45: YES), the display CPU 41 proceeds to S4.
In step 6, the numerical value stored in the probable variable image selection counter 118A when the "symbol display instruction" is input is substituted into the algebra Y3 as the "probable variable image selection count value" at that time and stored in the RAM 118. Therefore, this algebra Y3
Is substituted with a numerical value from “0” to “7” and RA
It is stored in M118.

Subsequently, in S47, a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the inputted "symbol display instruction" is either the "normal losing symbol display instruction" or the "losing symbol display instruction in the probable change mode". Execute If the input "symbol display instruction" is one of "normal loss symbol display instruction" or "losing symbol display instruction in the probable change mode" (S47: YES), in S48, "losing symbol" Display processing "is executed, and the processing after S45 is executed again.

In the "losing symbol display process", when the input "symbol display instruction" is "normal loss symbol display instruction", first, the display CPU 41 reads the loss pattern of the variable symbol from the program ROM 42. select. The change pattern of the loss pattern is displayed on the LCD display 12.
Through the normal fluctuation time (6 in the case of the third embodiment).
~ 8 seconds. ) After fluctuating, stop and display.
If the input "design display instruction" is a "loss design display instruction in the probability change mode", first, the display CPU 4
1 is a loss pattern of a variable symbol in a program ROM 4
Choose from 2. Then, the fluctuation pattern of the loss pattern is shorter than the normal fluctuation time via the LCD display 12 (2 to 3 seconds in the case of the third embodiment).
After fluctuating, stop and display. Therefore, "
When the "variable mode" is acquired, the waiting time until the "big hit" is reduced (in the case of the third embodiment, about 1/3).

Also, the inputted “symbol display instruction” is
If neither "normal loss symbol display instruction" nor "probable loss mode display instruction" is given (S47:
NO), input of "symbol display instruction" in S49
Is determined to be a "big hit symbol display instruction". If the inputted "symbol display instruction" is the "big hit symbol display instruction" (S
49: YES), in S50, "big hit symbol display processing" is executed. This "big hit symbol display processing"

Then, in S51, the display CPU 4
1 executes a determination process of determining whether or not the "big hit symbol display end instruction" has been input, that is, whether or not the big hit game has ended; if the big hit game has not ended (S51: NO) ), And execute the processing after S50 again.

If the "big hit symbol display end instruction" has been input (S51: YES), that is, if the big hit game has ended, in S52, the display CPU 41 sets the "big hit end display". And again,

On the other hand, if the inputted “symbol display instruction” is not the “small jackpot symbol display instruction” in S49 (S49: NO), the inputted “symbol display instruction” is replaced with “time saving A determination process is performed to determine whether or not it is a “probable change acquisition symbol display instruction”. And S5
In 3, the input “design display instruction” is changed to “
(S53: YE
In S) and S54, the display CPU 21 sets “
After performing the “probable change acquisition symbol display processing”, the processing after S45 is performed again. This “time saving / probable change acquisition symbol display processing”
First, the display CPU 41 reads the algebra Y3 as the “probable variable image selection count value” from the RAM 118.
Then, the algebra Y3 is output to the VDP 44, and the VDP 44 uses the algebra Y3 as a "count value" of the image data table 51 (see FIG. 4) stored in the image storage area 119A of the character ROM 119.
The “display image data” corresponding to the algebra Y3 as the “count value” is read, and the

As described in detail above, in the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment, when a pachinko ball wins in the first-type start-up port 19, the start-up port winning process is executed and "time saving
A determination process is performed to determine whether the mode is the “probable variation mode” (determines whether the time saving / probable variation algebra L1 is “0” or “1”) (S31, S32). And, when it is not the “time saving / probable variable mode” (when the time saving / probable variable algebra L1 is “0”),
The normal probability (1/199 in the third embodiment) is used to determine whether or not a "big hit" has occurred. In the case of the time saving / probable variable mode (when the time saving / probable variable algebra L1 is "1"), Is determined with a high probability (10/199 in the third embodiment) higher than the normal probability (S33). Subsequently, in the case of not being in the “time saving / probable change mode” and in the case of a loss, the CPU 21 outputs a “normal loss design display instruction” to the display CPU 41 via the output port 28, In the case of the “probable change mode” and the loss, the CPU 21

Further, when the “designation of loss pattern display in the probable change mode” is input, the display CPU 41 selects a loss pattern of the fluctuation pattern from the program ROM 42 and displays the fluctuation pattern of the loss pattern via the LCD display 12. Time shorter than the normal fluctuation time (in the case of the third embodiment,
2-3 seconds. ) After fluctuating, stop and display. When the “big hit symbol display instruction” is input, the display CPU 41 selects the big hit symbol from the program ROM 42, changes the big hit symbol via the LCD display 12, and then stops.

The display data corresponding to the “count value” to which the algebra Y 3 belongs is read from the image data table 52 stored in the LCD device 12 and displayed on the LCD 12 via the VDP 44 and the output circuit 47.

Accordingly, the occurrence of the "big hit" and the presence / absence of the time saving / probable change are separately displayed on the LCD display 12, and the display of the presence / absence of the time saving / probable change is displayed in one of a plurality of display modes. Since the mode is selected and displayed, it is possible to provide various kinds of display of whether or not time saving / probable change has been obtained, and a high probability state occurs in the display image of whether or not time saving / probable change has been obtained. It is possible to always give the player the expectation of whether or not to do it and a fresh image, and to attract the interest of the player to the pachinko game strongly,
In addition, it is possible to maintain interest. Also,
Since the indication of whether the probability change has been acquired is selected from a plurality of types of display image data each having a predetermined selection probability,
The “reliability in obtaining time savings / probable changes” of the display image indicating whether or not the probable changes have been acquired varies in various ways, and it is possible to strongly attract the player's interest in “acquiring time savings / probable changes” and increase the interest. In addition, "Reliability for time saving and probable change acquisition"
Changes variously according to the displayed image, so that an unprecedented game mode can be realized. In addition, since the plurality of types of display image data for displaying the time saving / probable variation acquisition correspond to the plurality of types of display image data for displaying the time saving / probable variation loss, `` time saving -It is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for "acquisition of probable change" and further increase the interest of the pachinko game. In addition, since the display of whether or not the time saving / probable change is acquired is displayed after the “big hit” game is completed, the player is provided with an expectation as to whether the “time saving / probable change” is generated after the “big hit” game is completed. This makes it possible to maintain a high level of expectation of the player for "acquisition of time savings and probable change" even during the "big hit" game. Also, in the case of the "time saving / probable change mode", since the fluctuating symbols stop in a shorter time than in the normal game state, it is possible to know in a short time whether or not a "big hit" has occurred. It is possible to maintain a high expectation for the occurrence of "big hits". Further, the CPU 21 of the control circuit unit 115 is connected to the display CPU of the display control circuit 117 via the output port 28.
By outputting various “symbol display instructions” to the CPU 41, a predetermined variable symbol, a time-saving / probable variation acquisition symbol, etc.
1 is displayed on the LCD display 12 by the CPU 1.
21 can be reduced, and the control circuit unit 115 can be reduced in size.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described first to third embodiments, and it goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
