DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a first symbol display device (e.g., a first symbol display device) for selectively displaying any one of a plurality of types of first symbols consisting of a hit symbol and a missing symbol. One type of pachinko gaming machine is a normal symbol display device) and a second symbol display device (for example, a first type pachinko machine) for selectively displaying any one of a plurality of types of second symbols consisting of a hit symbol and a lost symbol. In a gaming machine, a special symbol display device and a pachinko ball are placed in a first starting winning opening (for example, the first winning prize port).
A lottery of winning or losing is performed based on the fact that a prize is won in a normal symbol start winning prize port for a kind pachinko game machine or that the ball has passed a first starting gate (for example, a normal symbol starting gate in a first kind pachinko game machine). The first winning lottery means, the first
When a winning is selected by the winning lottery means, the first symbol is changed and displayed on the first symbol display device for a predetermined time, and then the winning symbol is stopped and displayed.
First symbol display instruction means for stopping and displaying a shifted symbol after the first symbol is fluctuated and displayed for a predetermined time on the symbol display device;
A second starting winning opening (for example, a special symbol starting winning opening (electrically-powered tulip) for a first-type pachinko gaming machine) in which the entrance expands for a predetermined time when the symbol hits the first symbol display device and is stopped and displayed; And a second winning lottery means for performing a lottery of winning or losing based on winning in the second starting winning opening, and a second symbol display device when a win is selected by the second winning lottery means. After the symbol is displayed for a predetermined time, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed, and when a loss is selected, the second symbol is displayed on the second symbol display device for a predetermined time and then the shifted symbol is stopped and displayed. (2) a symbol display instructing means, a variable winning port (for example, a large winning port in a first-type pachinko gaming machine) in which an entrance opens for a predetermined time when a symbol hits the second symbol display device and is stopped and displayed, and
When a predetermined condition is satisfied when the symbol is hit and displayed on the symbol display device and the symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, when the specific big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device in the first-type pachinko game machine), it is changed. After the big hit game in which the entrance of the winning opening is opened for a predetermined time, the probability that a hit is selected by the first hit lottery means is increased, or the time in which the first symbol is variably displayed on the first symbol display device is shortened. When the first game setting change means and the second symbol display device hit and the predetermined specific hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the symbol, the big hit game in which the entrance of the variable winning opening is opened for a predetermined time has ended. And a second game setting changing means for increasing the probability that a win is selected by the second winning lottery means, or shortening the time during which the second symbol is variably displayed on the second symbol display device. There has been put to practical use.

[0003] In this kind of pachinko gaming machine, if a predetermined condition is satisfied when the symbol is hit on the second symbol display device and the symbol is stopped and displayed, the first hit is terminated after the big hit game is completed.
Since the probability that the winning lottery means selects a win becomes higher, or the time in which the first symbol is fluctuated and displayed on the first symbol display device becomes shorter, the entrance of the second starting winning opening becomes easier to expand,
As a result, it becomes easier for the pachinko ball to win the second starting winning opening. Further, the probability of the second winning lottery selecting a hit is increased, or the time during which the second symbol is variably displayed on the second symbol display device is shortened, so that the big hit game is easily performed.

[0004] Specifically, the game setting of the second symbol display device is changed immediately after the end of the big hit game. That is, immediately after the end of the big hit game, the probability that the second hit lottery means selects a hit increases, or the time during which the second symbol is variably displayed on the second symbol display device decreases.
Note that the lottery by the second lottery means is not performed during the big hit game. On the other hand, in the first symbol display device, even during the big hit game, the lottery by the first hit lottery means is performed,
On the basis of the command from the symbol display commanding means, the first symbol display device repeatedly performs the first symbol change display and the stop display. Therefore, when the first symbol change display is started immediately before the end of the big hit game, First from the end of the jackpot game
It takes several seconds to several tens of seconds before the first symbol is stopped and displayed on the symbol display device (see the timing chart shown in FIG. 5). For this reason, regarding the first symbol display device, the game setting is not changed immediately after the end of the big hit game, but immediately after the first symbol that is variably displayed at the end of the big hit game is stopped and displayed. The game settings are changed at that time. That is, the probability that the first winning lottery means selects a hit becomes high immediately after the first symbol displayed fluctuating at the end of the big hit game is stopped, or the first symbol is displayed on the first symbol display device. The time during which symbols are displayed in a variable manner is shortened.

[0005] As described above, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, immediately after the end of the big hit game, even if the game setting related to the second symbol display device is changed, the game setting related to the first symbol display device is changed. There is a period when the pachinko ball is not opened (the entrance of the second starting winning port is not easily expanded), and even if the pachinko ball is fired during that period, it is difficult to win the second starting winning port, so the pachinko ball is wasted. . For this reason, the player who knows that, after the big hit game ends, even if the second symbol is variably displayed on the second symbol display device, the pachinko machine is not operated until the game setting relating to the first symbol display device is changed. They play games so that they do not fire balls and do not waste pachinko balls.

[0006] However, some players have a difference between the time when the game setting related to the first symbol display device is changed and the time when the game setting related to the second symbol display device is changed. Some people do not know (beginners). Naturally, such a player keeps the pachinko ball in a dark cloud after the big hit game is completed until the game setting related to the first symbol display device is changed after the game setting related to the second symbol display device is changed. You will suffer disadvantages. For this reason, the player may have an unfair feeling, and as a result, the desire to play may be reduced.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention provides a first symbol display device and a second symbol display device after the big hit game is completed when a predetermined condition is satisfied when the symbol hits the second symbol display device and the symbol is stopped and displayed. In the pachinko gaming machine in which the game settings related to the two symbol display devices are changed, between the time when the game settings related to the first symbol display device are changed and the time when the game settings related to the second symbol display device are changed. An object of the present invention is to avoid a situation in which a player suffers a disadvantage due to a deviation.

5. Electric tulip magnifying actuator 17a, special symbol display device 19, big win opening actuator 21a
And an input / output interface 37 for supplying the data to

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described. First, when power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 from a power supply device (not shown), the CPU 31 performs an initial setting process and the like. Then, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the passage of the pachinko ball is detected by the ordinary symbol starting gate passage sensors 11s and 13s, and each time the passage of the pachinko ball is detected by the ordinary symbol starting gate passage sensors 11s and 13s. , The value of the passage storage counter in the RAM 35 is incremented by one up to a maximum of four. On the other hand, each time a hit lottery described later is performed, the value of the passage storage counter is set to a minimum value of 0.
Decrease by 1 until

Further, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the winning of the pachinko ball is detected by the electric tulip winning sensor 17s, and every time the winning of the pachinko ball is detected by the electric tulip winning sensor 17s, the winning in the RAM 35 is determined. The value of the storage counter is incremented by one up to a maximum of four. On the other hand, every time a jackpot lottery described later is performed, the value of the winning storage counter is decreased by one to a minimum of zero.

Then, the CPU 31 performs the processing shown in FIG. 3 in parallel with these processings. When this process is started, the CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a passing memory, that is, whether or not the value of the passing memory counter is positive (S1).
0). If there is a passage memory, that is, if the value of the passage memory counter is positive (“YE
S "), it is determined whether or not a jackpot game is being played (S1).
1). If the big hit is not being played ("NO" in S11), the ordinary symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 15 in a fluctuating manner (S12), and based on the detection timing of the ordinary symbol starting gate passage sensors 11s and 13s. A winning lottery is performed, that is, a lottery is performed at a predetermined ratio (S13).

When the winning is selected as a result of the winning lottery ("YES" in S14), the winning symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 15 (S18), and the electric tulip enlarging actuator 17a is driven to be electrically driven. The entrance of the tulip 17 is enlarged (S20), and when a predetermined time elapses after the enlargement, the driving of the electric tulip enlargement actuator 17a is terminated to reduce the entrance of the electric tulip 17 (S22). And S40
Proceed to.

On the other hand, when the result of the lottery is selected ("NO" in S14), the normal symbol display device 1
5 is displayed with a shifted symbol (S34). And S4
Go to 0. If there is no passage memory, that is, if the value of the passage memory counter is 0 ("N" in S10)
O "), the process proceeds to S40 without performing the processes of S11 to S34. Similarly, if a big hit game is being played ("NO" in S11), S12 is skipped without performing the processing of S12 through S34.
Proceed to 40.

Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not there is a winning memory, that is, whether or not the value of the winning memory counter is positive (S40). If there is a winning memory, that is, if the value of the winning memory counter is positive (S40)
, "YES"), the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display device 19 (S42), and at the same time, a lottery is determined by a predetermined ratio based on the detection timing of the electric tulip winning sensor 17s (S43).

When the big hit is selected as a result of the lottery ("YES" in S44), the special symbol display device 19 stops and displays the big hit symbol (S46). Then, the special symbol display device 19 is caused to display a big hit start interval, and thereafter, the special winning opening opening actuator 21
The operation of driving the a to open the special winning opening 21 for a predetermined time is repeated a predetermined number of times.

If the big hit symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 19 in S46 is not a predetermined specific big hit symbol ("N" in S48).
O "), 0 is substituted for the probability variation flag F (S50), and S
If the big hit symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 19 in 46 is the specific big hit symbol ("YES" in S48), 1 is substituted for the probability variation flag F (S52). After that, the special symbol display device 19 displays the big hit end interval. Then, the process returns to S10 to repeat the processing.

It is to be noted that the special symbol display device 19 performs a big hit start interval display, and thereafter, the operation of driving the special winning opening actuator 21a to open the special winning opening 21 for a predetermined time is repeated a predetermined number of times. A flowchart of a series of processes for causing the display device 19 to display the big hit end interval (hereinafter, referred to as “big hit game process”) is omitted.

On the other hand, when the result of the lottery is selected (“NO” in S44), the special symbol display device 1
9 is stopped and displayed (S54). And
Returning to S10, the process is repeated. When the winning of the pachinko ball is not detected by the electric tulip winning sensor 17s ("NO" in S40), the process returns to S10 without performing the processes of S42 to S54 and repeats the process.

It should be noted that the processing after S40 is not performed during the big hit game, but the flowchart is omitted. Also, in parallel with this series of processing, when the big hit game that is performed as a result of the specific big hit symbol being stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 19 is completed, the probability of the hit being selected in the hit lottery in S13 and the big hit lottery in S42 are determined. In the special symbol display device 19, the processing is performed to display on the special symbol display device 19 that the probability that the big hit is selected is high and that the time when the normal symbol is variably displayed and the time when the special symbol is variably displayed are shortened. However, the flowchart is omitted.

The probability that a winning is selected in the winning lottery in S13 is 10/31 when the probability variation flag F is not set (F = 0), and the probability variation flag F is set. In the case of (F = 1), it is 28/31. In addition, the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery in S43 is 1/319 when the probability change flag F is not set (F = 0), and the probability change flag F is set (F = In the case of 1), it is 5/319. Also, the time from when the ordinary symbol is variably displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 15 to when the hit symbol or the lost symbol is stopped and displayed is 20 seconds when the probability variation flag F is not set (F = 0). And the probability variation flag F
Is set (F = 1), it is 5.4 seconds. In addition, the time from when the entrance of the electric tulip 17 expands to when it shrinks is 0.5 second when the probability variation flag F is not set (F = 0), and the probability variation flag F is set. 2. (F = 1)
5 seconds.

Next, a specific operation mode when a game is actually played in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described. When the player starts the game and the pachinko ball normally passes through the symbol starting gate 11 and the value of the passage memory counter becomes positive, “YES” is determined in S10. Since it is not during the jackpot game, “NO” is obtained in S11 and S
At 12, the fluctuation display of the ordinary symbols is started, and at S 13, a winning lottery is performed based on the timing at which the pachinko ball passes. Then, if the result of the lottery is incorrect, "NO" is determined in S14, and the shifted symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 15 in S34.
On the other hand, if the result of the lottery is "YES", the answer is "YES" in S14, the symbol is hit and displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 15 in S18, and the electric tulip 17 is displayed.
Entrance expands for a predetermined time.

And the pachinko ball is the electric tulip 1
7 is "YES" in S40, and S
At 43, a jackpot lottery is performed based on the timing of winning of the pachinko ball. If the result of the lottery is off, "NO" is determined in S44, and the off symbol is displayed on the special symbol display device 19 in S54.

On the other hand, if the lottery results in a big hit, "YES" is determined in S44, the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 19 in S46, and the big hit game processing is performed. If the big hit symbol displayed on the special symbol display device 19 in S46 is not a specific big hit symbol, "NO" is obtained in S48 and S5
At 0, the value of the probability variation flag F becomes 0. On the other hand, S
If the big hit symbol displayed on the special symbol display device 19 in 46 is a specific big hit symbol, in S48, “YE
S ”, and the value of the probability variation flag F becomes 1 in S52.
become.

During the jackpot game process, S1
Since it is “YES” in 1, the processing of S12 to S34, that is, the processing of the winning lottery, the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, the stop display, and the like are not performed (see the timing chart shown in FIG. 5). Then, when the big hit game ends, the result of S11 is "NO", so the processing of S12 to S34,
That is, processes such as winning lottery, normal symbol change display and stop display are performed, and in particular, the probability change flag F
Is 1, the probability that the winning is selected in the winning lottery in S13 and the probability that the big hit is selected in the winning lottery in S43 are increased, and the time period during which the normal symbol is variably displayed and the special symbol are displayed. Is displayed on the special symbol display device 19 to indicate that the time during which the variable display is shortened.

When the big hit game is over, the probability that a win is selected in the hit lottery in S13, the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery in S43, depending on whether or not the probability variation flag F is set, The time from when the normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device 15 until the hit symbol or the missing symbol is stopped and displayed, and the time from when the entrance of the electric tulip 17 is enlarged until it is reduced, change.

In the present embodiment, the normal symbol start gates 11 and 13 correspond to the above-described first start gate, the electric tulip 17 corresponds to the above-described second start winning opening, and the processing of S13 in the flowchart is described above. The processing of S18 and S34 corresponds to the operation of the above-mentioned first symbol display commanding means, the processing of S43 corresponds to the operation of the above-mentioned second winning lottery means, and the processing of S46 And the processing of S54 correspond to the operation of the above-mentioned second symbol display instructing means, and when the value of the probability variation flag F is 1, the processing of increasing the probability that the winning is selected in the winning lottery of S13 and the processing of the normal symbol The process of shortening the fluctuation time corresponds to the operation of the above-described first game setting change means, and when the value of the probability fluctuation flag F is 1, the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery in S43 is increased. Process to shorten a change time of the physical and special symbols correspond to the action of the second game setting changing means described above,
If "YES" in S11, S12 to S3
The process of not performing the process 4 corresponds to the operation of the lottery prohibiting means and the lottery resuming means, and the special symbol display device 1
When the big hit game that is performed as a result of the stop display of the specific big hit symbol at 9 ends, the probability that the hit is selected in the hit lottery of S13 and the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery of S43 increase, and the normal symbol The process of displaying on the special symbol display device 19 that the time during which the symbol is variably displayed and the time during which the special symbol is variably displayed corresponds to the operation of the game setting change notification means.

Next, the effects of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. Since the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured not to perform the processes of S12 to S34 during the big hit game, the game setting related to the ordinary symbol display device 15 (the hit is selected in the lottery of S13). The probability and the time during which the normal symbol is fluctuated are changed substantially immediately after the end of the big hit game (see the timing chart shown in FIG. 5). Therefore, the ordinary symbol display device 1
The game setting related to the special symbol display device 19 and the timing when the game setting related to the special symbol display device 19 is changed (when the probability that the winning is selected in the winning lottery in S13 and the time during which the normal symbol is fluctuated and displayed is shortened). Time of change (S4
3), the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery and the time when the special symbol is fluctuated and displayed is shortened substantially), so that the special symbol display device 19 is specially displayed after the big hit game is over. If the pachinko ball is fired at the time when the symbol is displayed in a fluctuating manner, there is no disadvantage. Therefore, since the player does not feel unfairness, there is no possibility that the player's willingness to play is reduced.

When the special jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 19, when the big hit game is completed, the probability of a win being selected in the hit lottery in S13 and the big hit in the big hit lottery in S43 are selected. The special symbol display device 19 is configured to display that the probability is high and that the time during which the normal symbol is variably displayed and the time during which the special symbol is variably displayed are shortened.
The player can fire the pachinko ball from an appropriate time according to the content of the notification. Therefore, the player's willingness to play can be improved.

[Second Embodiment] The configuration and operation of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment except that the processing shown in FIG. 4 is performed instead of the processing shown in FIG. Therefore, only differences from the first embodiment will be described.

When the processing shown in FIG.
1 determines whether or not there is a passage memory, that is, whether or not the value of the passage memory counter is positive (S110). If there is a passage memory, that is, if the value of the passage memory counter is positive (“YES” in S110),
The ordinary symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 15 in a variable manner (S
112) together with the normal symbol starting gate passage sensor 11
Winning lottery is performed based on the detection timing of s, 13s, etc., that is, a lottery is performed at a predetermined ratio to determine whether a hit or a miss (S113).

If the winning lottery result is selected (“YES” in S114), it is determined whether or not it is immediately before the end of the big hit game, specifically, the remaining time until the big hit game ends. It is determined whether or not the time required for the normal symbol to be stopped and displayed is shorter (S115). And when it is not immediately before the end of the big hit game (S115
, "NO"), the hit symbol is stopped and displayed at a point in time when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the fluctuation display of the ordinary symbol (S118), and the process proceeds to S120. On the other hand, if it is immediately before the end of the big hit game (“YE
S "), the winning symbol is forcibly stopped and displayed at the end of the big hit game (S119), and the process proceeds to S120.

Then, the electric tulip enlarging actuator 17a is driven to enlarge the entrance of the electric tulip 17 (S120).
Is completed, and the entrance of the electric tulip 17 is reduced (S132). Then, the processing of S40 to S54 of the first embodiment is performed (S140), and the process returns to S110 to repeat the processing.

On the other hand, when the result of the lottery is selected (“NO” in S114), it is determined whether or not it is immediately before the end of the big hit game (S130). Then, if it is not immediately before the end of the big hit game ("NO" in S130), the shift symbol is stopped and displayed at a point in time when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the variable symbol display (S130).
134), and proceed to S140. On the other hand, if it is immediately before the end of the big hit game ("YES" in S130), the loss symbol is forcibly stopped and displayed at the end of the big hit game (S135), and the process proceeds to S140.

If there is no passage memory, that is, if the value of the passage memory counter is 0 ("N" in S110)
O "), S14 without performing the processing of S112 to S135.
Go to 0. Subsequently, a specific operation mode when a game is actually played in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.

When the player starts the game and the pachinko ball normally passes through the symbol start gate 11 and the value of the passage memory counter becomes positive, "YES" is obtained in S110, and S
In step 112, the variable display of the ordinary symbols is started, and in step S11.
In 3, the lottery is performed based on the timing at which the pachinko ball passes. If the result of the lottery is incorrect, the result is "NO" in S114, and the game is not a big hit, so the result is "NO" in S130, and a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the fluctuation display of the ordinary symbol in S134. At this point, the shifted symbol is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, if the result of the lottery has been reached, S114
In step S115, the answer is "YES", and the game is not in the big hit. Therefore, in step S115, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed at a point in time when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the normal symbol change display.
The entrance of 7 expands for a predetermined time.

If the normal symbol variation display is performed immediately before the end of the big hit game, S115 or S1
Since the answer is "YES" at 30, the winning symbol or the missing symbol is stopped and displayed at the end of the big hit game (S1).
19 or S135) (refer to the timing chart shown in FIG. 5).

In this embodiment, the processing of S113 in the flowchart corresponds to the operation of the above-mentioned first winning lottery means, and the processing of S118, S119, S134 and S135 corresponds to the operation of the above-mentioned first symbol display instruction means. Equivalent, S11
The processing in steps S5, S119, S130, and S135 corresponds to the operation of the above-described variable display forced stop instruction means.

Next, the effects of the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured to forcibly stop and display a winning symbol or a missing symbol when the ordinary symbol is fluctuated and displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 15 at the end of the big hit game. So
The game setting (the probability that a win is selected in the win lottery in S113 and the time during which the normal symbol is fluctuated and displayed) related to the normal symbol display device 15 is substantially at the time immediately after the end of the big hit game (strictly, a little). At a point in time after the passage of time (see the timing chart shown in FIG. 5). Therefore, the time when the game setting related to the normal symbol display device 15 is changed (the time when the probability that the hit is selected in the hit lottery in S113 and the time when the normal symbol is variably displayed becomes shorter) and the special symbol display device Since the game setting relating to No. 19 is changed (the time when the probability of selecting the big hit in the big hit lottery in S42 becomes high and the time during which the special symbol is fluctuated and displayed) can be substantially matched, the big hit can be achieved. After the game is over, the special symbol display device 1
If the pachinko ball is fired at the time when the special symbol is variably displayed in 9, no disadvantage will be incurred. Therefore, since the player does not feel unfairness, there is no possibility that the player's willingness to play is reduced.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is needless to say that the present invention may be implemented in various modes. For example, in the second embodiment, when the normal symbol is fluctuated and displayed at the end of the big hit game,
By forcibly stopping and displaying the winning symbol or the missing symbol at the end of the big hit game, the timing at which the game setting relating to the normal symbol display device 15 is changed (the probability that the winning is selected in the winning lottery and the normal The period in which the symbol is variably displayed is shortened, and the period in which the game setting relating to the special symbol display device 19 is changed (the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery is increased, and the time in which the special symbol is variably displayed is changed). This is configured so that the winning symbol or the missing symbol is forcibly stopped and displayed at the time when the opening operation of the special winning opening is finished, and then the special symbol display device 19 is used. It is configured to start the fluctuation display of the ordinary symbol in the ordinary symbol display device 15 in synchronization with the start of the fluctuation display of the special symbol. There. Here, the timing for forcibly stopping the hit symbol or the missing symbol may not be the time when the opening operation of the special winning opening is completed, but the special symbol display device 19 may be used.
Is preferably 0.5 seconds or more before the start of the change display of the special symbol in. This is because if the variable display is started immediately after the stop display, the symbol that has been stopped and displayed cannot be visually recognized. This processing corresponds to the first symbol change start first synchronization means described above. In the case of such a configuration, the timing at which the game setting related to the normal symbol display device 15 is changed (the probability that the hit is selected in the hit lottery increases, and the time during which the normal symbol is variably displayed is shortened. The timing) and the timing at which the game setting relating to the special symbol display device 19 is changed (the timing at which the probability of selecting the big hit in the big hit lottery and the time during which the special symbol is fluctuated and displayed are completely matched). So better.

In the second embodiment, when a normal symbol is fluctuated and displayed at the end of the big hit game, the hit symbol or the missing symbol is forcibly stopped and displayed at the end of the big hit game, so that the normal symbol is displayed. Display device 15
And the special symbol display device 1 (the timing when the probability of a hit being selected in the hit lottery is increased and the time during which the normal symbol is fluctuated and displayed is shortened) when the game setting relating to the game is changed.
Although the game setting relating to No. 9 is changed substantially (when the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery and the time when the special symbol is fluctuated and displayed is shortened), the timing is changed. If the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner at the end of the big hit game, the variable display may be ended without performing the stop display, that is, the winning lottery related to the variable display may be invalidated. This processing corresponds to the operation of the above-described first fluctuation forced termination command means. Even in the case of such a configuration, the same effect as in the second embodiment can be obtained. However, since the player suffers some damage, it is necessary to make some compensation. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, after the stop symbol or the missing symbol is forcibly stopped and displayed, the normal symbol display device is synchronized with the start of the change display of the special symbol in the special symbol display device 19. It may be configured to start the variable display of the ordinary symbol in 15. This process corresponds to the first symbol change start second synchronization means described above.
In the case of such a configuration, the ordinary symbol display device 1
The game setting related to the special symbol display device 19 is changed when the game setting related to the special symbol display device 19 is changed (when the probability that the winning is selected in the winning lottery is increased and the time during which the normal symbol is fluctuated and displayed is shortened). This is even better because it is possible to completely coincide with the timing (the timing at which the probability of selecting a big hit in the big hit lottery and the time during which the special symbol is fluctuated and displayed is shortened).

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the game setting related to the normal symbol display device 15 is changed (the probability that the winning is selected in the winning lottery increases, and the normal symbol is variably displayed. The time at which the game setting related to the special symbol display device 19 is changed (the probability that the big hit is selected in the big hit lottery and the time during which the special symbol is variably displayed) is adjusted by adjusting the time when the special symbol display device 19 is changed. However, when the normal symbol is fluctuated and displayed on the normal symbol display device 15 at the end of the big hit game, the normal symbol is stopped and then displayed. The special symbol display device may be configured to start the variation display of the special symbol in synchronization with the start of the next variable display on the symbol display device 15. This processing corresponds to the operation of the second symbol change start synchronization means described above. Even in the case of such a configuration, the same effects as those of the first and second embodiments can be obtained.
