  The basic circuit realized by the game control microcomputer includes a ROM for storing a game control (game control) program, a RAM used as a work memory, a CPU for performing control operations according to the program, and an I / O port unit. Including. In this embodiment, the ROM and RAM are built in the CPU. That is, the CPU is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to include at least a RAM, and the ROM and the I / O port unit may be externally attached or may be included. Since the CPU executes control in accordance with a program stored in the ROM, hereinafter, the game control board 23 performing control specifically means that the CPU executes processing in accordance with the program.

  In this example, the CPU mounted on the game control board 23 has two special symbol variable display devices, the first special symbol variable display device 15A and the second special symbol variable display device 15B, and the first start condition hold number display. Display control of the two start condition hold number display lamps, the lamp 14A and the second start condition hold number display lamp 14B, the normal symbol variable display device 21, and the normal symbol start condition hold number display lamp 20 is performed. Also, the effect control CPU mounted on the effect control board is based on the effect control command from the game control board 23, and the two symbols of the first ornament symbol variable display device 16A and the second ornament symbol variable display device 16B. By controlling the variable display device, display control of the decorative symbols is performed by the first decorative symbol variable display device 16A and the second decorative symbol variable display device 16B.

  In this example, each of the first special symbol variable display device 15A and the second special symbol variable display device 15B is constituted by a seven-segment display and performs segment display. As the special symbol, for example, ten numbers “0” to “9” are used. The special symbol is sequentially updated in the order of “0” to “9”, so that the variable display is performed. After “9” is displayed, the special symbol returns to “0”. When the stop symbol when the variable display is finished is “0”, it means “displacement”, and when the stop symbol is any positive even number (2, 4, 6, 8), it is “big hit”. When the stop symbol is an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), it means “probable big hit”.

  In this example, the two special symbol variable display devices, the first special symbol variable display device 15A and the second special symbol variable display device 15B, and the normal symbol start condition hold number display lamp 20 are constituted by LEDs. .

As shown in FIG. 1, the value calculated by the expression “the number of received signals received during a period excluding the time when one signal is received × 10” is tabulated as the number of shot balls. In addition, the hitting ball number counting means adds and updates the total value of the low-probability hitting balls excluding the short-and-short time transmitted from the base terminal 30, thereby reducing the number of low-probable hitting balls excluding the short-and-short time ( In other words, the number of hit balls in a state other than the special gaming state) is counted, and by adding and updating the total value of the number of hit balls during probability transmission including the time stamp transmitted from the base terminal 30, The number of hit balls during probability change including (that is, the number of shot balls in the special gaming state) is counted. In other words, the total number of hit balls is separately distinguished between the special game state (probability change state and short time state) and the state other than the special game state. The result of counting by the driving ball number counting means is stored for each pachinko machine 10 in the machine number DB shown in FIG.

  Next, the control unit 52 is an example of a first start winning number counting means, and based on a first start winning signal which is the first start winning information received by the first start winning information receiving means. The first start winning number, which is the number of game balls won in the mouth 12A, is counted for each pachinko machine 10. Specifically, the first start winning number is totaled by adding and updating the total value of the first starting winning numbers transmitted from the base terminal 30. Here, the total value of the first start winning numbers transmitted from the base terminal 30 is the first start winning information which is the first start winning information received by the base terminal 30 functioning as the first start winning information receiving means as described above. Based on the winning signal, the number of received first starting winning signals is totaled by the base terminal 30 functioning as the first starting winning number counting means. Accordingly, in the control unit 52 functioning as the first start winning number counting means, the items shown in FIG. 7 are based on the first start winning signal which is the first start winning information received by the first start winning information receiving means. No. As shown in FIG. 2, the number of received first start winning signals is counted as the first start winning number. Further, the first start winning number counting means adds and updates the total value of the first starting winning number for the low probability except for the short time transmitted from the base terminal 30, so that the first start for the low probability excluding the short time is added. The number of winnings (that is, the first starting winning number in a state other than the special gaming state) is totaled, and the total value of the first starting winning number during probability change including the short time transmitted from the base terminal 30 is added and updated. As a result, the first starting winning number during probability change including the short time (that is, the first starting winning number in the special gaming state) is counted. That is, the first start winning number is counted separately for the special game state (probability change state and short time state) and the state other than the special game state.

  The control unit 52 is an example of a second start winning number counting means, and based on a second start winning signal which is second start winning information received by the second start winning information receiving means, a second start winning opening.

The number of winnings (that is, the second starting winning number in a state other than the special gaming state) is totaled, and the total value of the second starting winning number during probability change including the short time transmitted from the base terminal 30 is added and updated. As a result, the second starting winning number during probability change including the short time (that is, the second starting winning number in the special gaming state) is counted. That is, the counting of the second start winning prize is performed by distinguishing between the special game state (probability change state and short time state) and the state other than the special game state.

  The first start wins counted by the first start wins totaling means and the second start wins counted by the second start wins totaling means are for each pachinko machine 10 in the machine number DB shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the information is displayed on the display 55 as output means and output. In this way, the first start winning number won in the first starting winning opening 12A is counted by the first starting winning number counting means, and the second start winning number won in the second start winning opening 12B is the second start. Since the first starting winning number and the second starting winning number are counted by the winning number counting means and output by the output means, the difference in the winning degree to each of the two starting winning areas is grasped, The winning rate can be adjusted (nail adjustment) so that the difference becomes a desired value.

  The control unit 52 is an example of an overall starting winning number calculating unit, and includes a first starting winning number counted by the first starting winning number totaling unit (item No. 2) and a second starting winning number totaling unit ( The total number of start winnings indicating the total value of the second starting winnings counted according to item No. 3) is calculated for each pachinko machine 10. Specifically, item No. in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the total start winning number is calculated by the formula “first starting winning number + second starting winning number”. Further, the total start winning number calculation means uses the formula “first start winning number in low probability excluding time shortage + second start winning number excluding time shortage” in the formula of the total start winning number in low probability excluding time shortage (ie, The total number of winning prizes in a state other than the special gaming state) is calculated, and “the first starting prize number during the probability change including the short time + the second starting prize number during the probability change including the time period” The total start winning number during probability change including the number (that is, the total start winning number in the special gaming state) is calculated. That is, the calculation of the total start winning number is performed by distinguishing between the special game state (probability change state and short time state) and a state other than the special game state.

  The total starting winning number calculated by the total starting winning number calculating means is stored for each pachinko machine 10 in the machine number DB shown in FIG. 5 and is an output means as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, for example. It is displayed on the display 55 and output. In this way, the total start winning number indicating the total value of the first starting winning number and the second starting winning number is calculated by the total starting winning number calculating means, and the calculated total starting winning number is output by the output means. Therefore, the degree of winning in each of the two start winning areas can be easily grasped as a percentage of the total.

  Further, the control unit 52 is an example of a starting winning ratio calculation means, and the first starting winning number counted by the first starting winning number counting means (item No. 2) is the total starting winning number calculation means (item No. 2). The ratio of the total start winnings calculated in 4) and the second start winnings calculated by the second start winning totaling means (item No. 3) are the total starting winning number calculating means (item No. 4).

Also, the start winning ratio calculation means uses the following formula: ((the first winning prize in the low accuracy excluding the shortage / the total starting winning number in the low accuracy excluding the shortage) × 100). The percentage of the total start winnings in the low probability excluding the shortage during the 1st start wins is calculated, and “(the second start winnings in the low probable excluding the time shortage / the total start winnings in the low probable excluding the time shortage) ) X 100 ", the low-accuracy medium start excluding time-shortage is calculated by calculating the ratio of the low-accuracy medium-second start winning prize excluding time-shortage to the low-accuracy medium-start winning prize excluding time-shortage. The winning ratio (that is, the starting winning ratio in a state other than the special gaming state) is calculated, and “(the first starting winning number during probability change including time reduction / the total starting winning number during probability change including time reduction) × 100” In the formula above, the first start winning prize during probability change including time reduction is the total start winning prize during probability change including time reduction The second starting prize during accuracy change including time reduction is calculated by the following formula: “(the second start winning prize during probability change including time reduction / total starting winning prize during time change including time reduction) × 100”. By calculating the ratio of the number to the total start winning number during the probability change including the time reduction, the start change ratio during the probability change including the time reduction (that is, the start winning ratio in the special gaming state) is calculated. That is, the start winning ratio is calculated separately for the special game state (probability change state and short time state) and the state other than the special game state.

  The starting winning ratio calculated by the starting winning ratio calculating means is stored for each pachinko machine 10 in the machine number DB shown in FIG. 5 and displayed on a display 55 as output means, for example, as shown in FIG.

That is, the aggregation of the second average TS is performed by distinguishing between the probability variation state and a state other than the probability variation state.

  The first average TS calculated by the average first variable display number calculating means and the second average TS calculated by the average second variable display number calculating means are for each pachinko machine 10 in the machine number DB shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, it is displayed and output on a display 55 as output means. Thus, since the first average TS and the second average TS are output by the output means, the average variable display count for the first special symbol variable display device 15A and the average variable display for the second special symbol variable display device 15B. It is possible to adjust the winning rate (nail adjustment) so as to grasp the number of times and adjust the winning degree to the first starting winning port 12A and the second starting winning port 12B. Specifically, for example, it is possible to make an adjustment such as tightening a nail associated with a winning route to a starting winning area having a lower average variable display count.

  Further, the control unit 52 is an example of an average total variable display count calculating means, and the total variable display count totaled by the total variable display count totaling means (item No. 8) and the specific gaming state occurrence count totaling means (item No. 8). .27) is calculated for each pachinko machine 10 based on the total number of jackpots counted in step 27. The average total variable display count (total average TS), which is the total number of variable displays per jackpot state. Specifically, item No. in FIG. As shown in FIG. 30, the overall average TS is calculated by the formula “total number of variable display times / total number of hits”. Further, the average overall variable display count calculation means is a formula of “low-accuracy overall variable display count including time reduction / normal number of hits”, ie, low-accuracy overall average TS (that is, overall average TS in a state other than the probability variation state). Is calculated, and the overall average TS during probability variation (that is, the overall average TS in the probability variation state) is calculated by the formula of “total variable display count during probability variation excluding time reduction / number of probability variation big hits”. That is, the total average TS is totaled separately for the probability variation state and the states other than the probability variation state.

  The overall average TS calculated by the average overall variable display number calculating means is stored for each pachinko machine 10 in the machine number DB shown in FIG. 5, and for example, a display as an output means as shown in FIGS. 55 is displayed and output. In this way, since the overall average TS is output by the output means, the overall average TS of the first special symbol variable display device 15A and the second special symbol variable display device 15B is grasped, and a prize is awarded according to the value. The rate can be adjusted (nail adjustment).

  In addition, since the calculation of the overall average TS is performed by distinguishing between the probability variation state and the normal state other than the probability variation state, by grasping the overall average TS by distinguishing between the probability variation state and the normal state, The nail adjustment of the winning route and the nail adjustment of the winning route in the special game state (for example, the nail adjustment around the variable winning ball device 22) can be appropriately performed. Moreover, it can contribute to discovery of fraud such as aiming at a big hit state in the probability fluctuation state.

  In the control unit 52, item no. As shown in FIG. 31, the number of received first grand prize signals is counted as the first grand prize number.
