At the time of winning, the special winning opening 12 is closed,
The opening and closing cycle of 12 enters the game ball B into the V zone 15
A maximum of a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times: 16 rounds) based on the prize
C) repeated. And, in such a jackpot state,
The CPU 63 of the display control board 110 controls the display unit 20a.
Therefore, as shown in FIG.
Perform a production and fluctuate the pattern, make sure during the jackpot game
Perform a fixed stop display. In this embodiment, during the jackpot game
Winning multiple rounds (16 rounds in the above example)
The opening of the mouth 12 is performed.
The more the symbol is displayed, the more the symbol to which the probability change mode is given
(Odd symbols) are set so that they can be easily confirmed and stopped.
Have been. For example, during the second to sixth rounds
If the fixed stop is displayed on the
The probability shown is set to 25%, round 7 to 1
If a fixed stop is displayed during one round, an odd figure
The probability that the pattern is fixed and displayed is set to 50%,
Confirmed stop display between 2nd round and 15th round
In such a case, the odd symbol has a 75% chance of being fixed and displayed.
Is set, and the final 16 rounds are confirmed and stopped.
If the odd symbols are displayed with a fixed stop probability of 99,
% Is set. Of course, do not make such a difference
It may be configured. The CPU of the main board 50 has its own CPU.
Or based on detection signals from various sensors, etc.
Timing that matches the timing of the final stop display
To output a confirmation command to the display control board 110.
You. The symbols 70A to 70H (fixed hit)
Odd number (“1”, “3”, “5”, “7”)
In that case, the probable change mode is determined as the game mode after this.
And the jackpot symbol has an even number ("2", "4",
"6", "8"), the subsequent game mode
The normal mode is determined. That is, the player
For the first time, after the derivation of the winning state,
It is possible to grasp the game mode at the time of round game
You. After the jackpot state, the display control board 110
The CPU 63 displays the next game on the display unit 20a.
The mode notification of all the game modes is performed. As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment,
If the jackpot is determined to be derived,
Even if the state is derived, the jackpot
By the start of the state, a big hit symbol is displayed on the display unit 20a.
No fixed stop is displayed. That is, the fixed stop table
If the symbol shown is a Zoro eye, etc.
Unlike the derived prior art, the display 20a
The jackpot state is not affected by the display mode of the symbol
Will be derived. With this derivation, the player is now
I am surprised and delighted. Because of that,
It can improve the interest. After the jackpot state is derived, the jackpot game
During this, the jackpot symbol is displayed as a fixed stop,
At the time of the actual pattern at which the jackpot
I can figure it out. Because of this, the player
After the state starts, you can see what the jackpot symbol is.
Enjoy the jackpot while having fun
Can be. For example, some players
Regardless of the value of the game mode, etc.
I want the symbol corresponding to the number to become a jackpot symbol
Some people wish. Also, depending on the gaming machine, the player
The type of jackpot symbol set and the actual jackpot symbol
When they match, game value such as probable change mode is given
There may be cases. In such a case, the player
Can increase the excitement during the ripping
As a result, even during the jackpot situation
It is possible to dramatically improve the interest. At the time when the jackpot state is derived,
Is the game mode after the jackpot
The player does not know. Note that in the past,
After displaying the pattern fixed stop, let the jackpot state be derived,
Some perform lottery effects on the display after the end of the jackpot
Not without. However, such an effect was performed
Even if the
Presence or absence of probable change mode is grasped in advance and lottery
There was a risk that the significance of performing would be lost. This
In the case of, the player such as whether or not the probable change mode is given
Thrilled about matters that are important to
Opportunities are lost, which in turn leads to lower interest
There was. In contrast, in the present embodiment, the jackpot
At the time when the state is derived, the jackpot symbol is fixed and stopped
It is not shown, and the game mode after the jackpot
No suggestion or teaching has been made, and the game mode
The player does not know which is which. That
Therefore, we are excited while having expectations and anxiety
While you can enjoy the jackpot. As a result,
During a jackpot that tends to be monotonous
Enhance the excitement and fun so that it is not comparable
As a result, it is
Can be. Particularly, in the present embodiment, during the big hit state
At the same time, effects related to the results of the game mode
The jackpot symbol is fixed and stopped and displayed by the effect.
Probable change mode is provided according to the number of rounds
Probabilities are changed. In other words, after the round
The more the symbol or the symbol is stopped, the more the probable change mode is given.
Likely to be. For this reason, the player must
Command, especially in the final round.
Enhancing the excitement of each round
Can be In addition, in this embodiment, there is no warning.
The jackpot state is not derived, but the jackpot state
In the derivation of (before), a jackpot suggestion was made
It was to so. For this reason, as described above,
Even if the jackpot state is derived in
Without any distrust or discomfort,
Can be taken. Furthermore, whether the above suggestions are made
Suddenly hit the jackpot when the player has left
Is unlikely to be derived. That
As a result, sudden preparation of the jackpot state
Defects due to feet and the like can be wiped out. Here, according to the suggestions (1) to (4) above,
The following is a description of the working effects. As in (1) above,
"Indication by display of special display target on display unit 20a
By performing the "incite", the player can confirm the patterns 70A to 70I.
Apart from the fixed stop display, it is possible to expect the display target display
This will add new fun to the game. Ma
In addition, as shown in (2), “Full rotation lead in the display unit 20a”
The player makes a series of figures
While visually recognizing the variable display modes of the patterns 70A to 70I,
In other words, while playing the game in the same manner as before,
Can be Further, as shown in FIG.
Suggestion by (pseudo) stop display of a specific symbol in a)
, The symbols 70A to 70I stop the pseudo stop
When stopped in the display mode ("3", "4", "1"),
Know that the jackpot state is derived
The player enjoys the stop mode with great joy.
Can be Also, this pseudo stop display mode,
Generally it seems to be unrelated to the jackpot
As a result, the game content is increased in thickness. In addition,
The pattern 70 of "3""4""1" accidentally irrespective of the
A-70I may stop at this location.
If the player hits a jackpot, simply
Is it just a stop display at 0A to 70I
The Rukoto. As a result, it will be more interesting
You. In addition, as shown in (4), “simulation on display unit 20a”
Indicating by stopping the display of special symbols "
Symbols that will not be displayed will be displayed
For example, the character "Large" is stopped in the left symbol row 21
In this way, the excitement will be raised at a stretch. The result
As a result, the fun is further increased. It should be noted that the present invention is limited to the description in the above embodiment.
Instead, for example, the following may be performed. (A) In the above embodiment, the jackpot game
The jackpot symbol is decided to be stopped and displayed inside,
The jackpot symbols and game modes must be understood
You. On the other hand, after the jackpot state,
The symbols may be determined and stopped and displayed. Also,
During the jackpot state, only the notification of the symbol or the notification of the mode
Only the operation may be performed. (B) (1) to (1) in the above embodiment
Suggestions other than (4) may be made. For example, display
As a suggestion that can be made in the unit 20a, a background screen is displayed.
Switch to a special one, or go directly to the "big hit" table
Or the like. (C) In addition, other than the display unit 20a,
Incitement may be performed. For example, audio suggestions
(The sound of "big hit" is emitted from the speaker 9
Etc.) or light suggestion (the lamp is a special blinking / lighting)
Etc.). (D) In addition, the embodiment shown in FIG.
You may not perform any solicitation. In this case, what
Since the big winning opening 12 will be opened without any sign,
Surprise for the technicians will be unprecedented. (E) In the above embodiment, the main substrate 50
The control of the big win opening solenoid 18 etc.
However, the control and the interlocking of the display unit 20a should be improved.
In addition, the special winning opening solenoid 18 is controlled by the display control board 110.
And the like may be controlled. (F) Even if there is no distinction between game modes,
Can be embodied. That is, the symbols 70A to 70I are fixed and stopped.
It is said that the jackpot state is derived before it is displayed
What is necessary is just to employ | adopt the structure like this. (G) In the above embodiment, the outline of the probability change mode
Just in case, (1) "7" is displayed on the 7-segment display section 33.
To increase the operating probability of the blade 13 of the working port 11
(2) 7-segment display section 33
(3) blade 1
3. Opening time (and / or increasing the number of winnings)
(4) Display unit 2 of special symbol display device 20
Shortening the variation time of the symbols 70A to 17I of 0a,
(5) The jackpot probability is higher than in the normal mode.
Of these, all are to be executed. Against this
And (5) only, that is, the jackpot probability is simply increased
Only what is done may be performed. Further, of (1) to (4) including (5),
Satisfying at least one of
You may get it. That is, any combination of (1) to (4)
(For example, (1) and (2), (1) and (3), (1)

(2) and (4), (1) and (3) and (4), (2)
(3) and (4)) can be adopted. Further, special modes such as a time saving mode and a probability change mode are provided.
As a mode, it will continue until the next big hit
Or it will continue until the next big hit
You may do it. At the same time, depending on the jackpot design,
Mode and time saving mode
The number of births may be variable. For example,
If the symbol is “1” or “5”, the next big hit
And the probable change mode is continued. In the case of "3" and "7",
Probable change mode continues until the next big hit
You may. (H) No particular mention is made in the above embodiment.
However, during the jackpot state or after the jackpot,
Lottery performance by animation etc. without using patterns etc.
It is good also as going out. (I) In the above embodiment, any
Even if it is, the jackpot state before the final stop display
But after the final stop is displayed
If the jackpot state is derived
No. (J) As the special symbol display device 20,
