  In the above composite pachinko gaming machine, the start winning opening serving as the trigger for the first type jackpot and the starting winning opening serving as the trigger for the second type jackpot are all related to the occurrence of the corresponding jackpot, In other words, since the first type pachinko gaming machine and the second type pachinko gaming machine are simply combined, the diversification of the game content and the accompanying improvement in gaming properties are sufficiently achieved. It couldn't be said, and there was a possibility that the interest in games was reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make it possible to make a variety of game modes that trigger each of the two types of jackpots, and to diversify the contents of the game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming machine that can promote the improvement of game play accompanying the game.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 includes a first starting port and a second starting port, a first accessory operated on the premise of winning a pachinko ball in the first starting port, and A movable member that is expanded only for a short time according to the winning of the pachinko ball at the second starting port, and a jackpot winning port provided in the winning area where the pachinko ball can enter only when the movable member is expanded. And a first jackpot that is advantageous to the player when a preset jackpot condition established in relation to the operation of the first bonus is established, and to the jackpot winning opening In a pachinko gaming machine provided with a control means for generating a second jackpot that is advantageous to the player when the pachinko ball wins,
After providing a special winning opening in the winning area,
The control means selects one of the first jackpot and the second jackpot when a pachinko ball wins the special prize opening, on condition that a special prize condition set in advance in the gaming state is satisfied. It is set as the structure which performs control to generate | occur | produce automatically.

  In this case, as in the invention described in claim 2, the first auxiliary prize opening and the second auxiliary prize opening are provided in the prize area of the second accessory, and the control means is provided with the first auxiliary prize port. The right to start the operation of the first accessory is generated according to the winning of the pachinko ball in the winning opening, and the short-time expanding operation right of the movable member is determined according to the winning of the pachinko ball into the second auxiliary winning opening. It can be set as the structure to generate | occur | produce.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the special prize condition, at least one of the number of continuous movements of the first accessory and the number of continuous movements of the movable member for a short time is set to them. It may be that the ceiling price is reached.

  Further, as in the invention according to claim 4, the special winning opening provided in the winning area is held in a state where the winning of the pachinko ball is always restricted or in a state where the winning is invalidated. In addition, when the special winning condition set in advance in the gaming state is established, the control means is in a state in which the pachinko ball winning is permitted to the special winning opening or the pachinko ball winning is activated. It is good also as a structure to switch.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first accessory is operated on the assumption that a pachinko ball wins the first starting port, and a pre-set jackpot condition established in relation to the operation of the first accessory is established. When this happens, a first jackpot that is advantageous to the player side occurs. In addition, when the pachinko ball wins the second starting opening, the movable member of the second accessory is expanded for a short time, and in the expanded state, the jackpot winning opening provided in the winning area of the second accessory is displayed. When the pachinko ball wins, a second jackpot that is advantageous to the player is generated.

A special winning opening is provided in the winning area of the second bonus item, but the control means requires that a special winning condition set in advance in the gaming state is satisfied, and then enters the special winning opening. When the pachinko ball wins, either the first jackpot or the second jackpot is selectively generated.
In other words, the first jackpot is generated not only by the pachinko ball winning at the first starting opening, but also by the pachinko ball winning at the special winning opening provided at the second bonus for the second jackpot, The second jackpot is generated not only by the pachinko ball winning in the second starting opening but also by the pachinko ball winning in the special winning opening. Therefore, the game forms that are the triggers for generating the first jackpot and the second jackpot are rich in changes, and as a result, it is possible to promote the diversification of the game contents and the accompanying improvement in the gameability.

  According to the means of claim 2, the first auxiliary winning opening for generating the right to start the operation of the first accessory in response to the winning of the pachinko ball and the winning of the pachinko ball in the winning area of the second accessory. Since the second auxiliary prize opening for generating the right to expand the movable member for a short time according to the game is provided, the game form is further varied, and the game contents can be further diversified. It becomes like this.

  According to the means of claim 3, when at least one of the number of continuous movements of the first accessory and the number of continuous movements of the movable member for a short time reaches the ceiling value set for them, a special prize is awarded. When the conditions are established, the special winning opening can be switched to a state in which the pachinko ball winning is permitted or in a state in which the pachinko ball winning is enabled, which is beneficial in promoting the diversification of game contents. .

  According to the means of claim 4, the special winning opening is always held in a state where the winning of the pachinko ball is restricted or in a state where the winning is invalidated, but is preset in the gaming state. When the special winning conditions are established, the control means can be switched to a state in which the pachinko ball winning for the special winning opening is allowed or in a state in which the pachinko ball winning is enabled, and in response to this, When the pachinko ball wins a winning opening, either the first jackpot or the second jackpot is selectively generated.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 2 schematically shows a front appearance of the pachinko gaming machine. In FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to launch the pachinko balls in the upper plate 2 onto the board surface 4 by an electric launching device (only the operation dial is indicated by reference numeral 3). The board surface 4 has an out port 5, a first start winning port 6 (corresponding to the first starting port), two left and right second starting winning ports 7 and 8 (corresponding to the second starting port), and called an attacker. In addition to the large winning opening 9 and the combined winning combination 10 provided with the electric combination 9a, a normal winning opening (not shown) is also provided.

  The above-mentioned composite accessory 10 includes a first-type pachinko gaming machine (so-called seven machine) in a center accessory 11 (corresponding to a second accessory) for realizing the functions of the second-type pachinko gaming machine (so-called honey). The liquid crystal display panel 12 (corresponding to the first accessory) provided with the main digital display section 12a (see FIG. 1) for realizing the function is arranged.

FIG. 1 shows the composite combination 10 in an enlarged state, and the configuration of the composite combination 10 will be described below with reference to FIG.

In this case, when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 6, the first lottery operation in which the jackpot probability is set to, for example, “1/300” is executed. The number of winning pachinko balls in the 1-start winning slot 6 is temporarily stored as first reserved ball data with a lottery result of the first lottery operation. This storage operation is performed, for example, in a FIFO format (first-in first-out format). The stored first holding ball data is stored each time the accompanying lottery result display operation is executed in the main digital display unit 12a. It becomes digested.

  The lottery result display operation for the first lottery operation includes a period in which a first type big hit (corresponding to the first big hit) and a second type big hit (corresponding to the second big hit), which will be described later, and the main digital display unit 12a is immediately executed during the period when the operation is stopped, and during the period when the first and second type jackpots are generated or when the main digital display unit 12a is operating, the end of the jackpot or the main digital It is executed after the operation of the display unit 12a is stopped. It should be noted that the maximum stored number of the first reserved ball data, that is, the upper limit value of the first reserved ball number is, for example, limited to ten.

  In this case, the main digital display unit 12a is constituted by a roulette composed of, for example, a three-digit number string displayed in the center of the liquid crystal display panel 12. When displaying the result of the first lottery operation, The symbol variation display (in this embodiment, the variation display in the range of “0” to “9” of each digit of the numeric string) is performed for a predetermined period, and when the lottery operation result is a big hit, the symbol variation At the end of the display, control is performed so that the numeric string becomes a slash pattern (big hit symbol) such as “111”, “222”,.

  In this way, the state in which the gaze symbol is displayed on the main digital display unit 12a corresponds to the state in which the jackpot condition referred to in the present invention is satisfied. When the jackpot condition is satisfied, the electric accessory 9a (attacker) of the big winning opening 9 is released for a predetermined period in a predetermined mode, so that the winning ratio to the big winning opening 9 is extremely increased. The first type jackpot is generated.

On the other hand, the center accessory 11, which is a component of the composite accessory 10, has a pair of blades 11b (disposed on the left and right sides of the frame-shaped portion 11a that surrounds the winning area, so as to always close the winning area. When the blade 11b is expanded as shown by a two-dot chain line in the drawing, the pachinko ball can enter the winning area.
In addition, the bottom of the winning area is inclined to the front side, and a V winning opening 11c (corresponding to a jackpot winning opening) formed in the center is provided at the forefront of the bottom, and the V winning opening 11c Two first winning openings 11d and 11e (corresponding to the first auxiliary winning opening) located on both sides, and two second winning openings 11f and 11g located on both sides of the first winning openings 11d and 11e ( Corresponding to the second auxiliary winning opening), two special winning openings 11h and 11i are formed on both sides of the second winning openings 11f and 11g. That is, a total of seven winning openings 11c to 11i are provided in a line at the bottom of the winning area. In addition, “V”, “1”, “2”, and “?” Indicating the types of the winning ports 11c to 11i are displayed at positions corresponding to the winning ports 11c to 11i on the lower side of the frame-shaped portion 11a. Each letter is given.

The second jackpot signal is output.

FIGS. 4 to 16 show portions related to the gist of the present invention in the control contents by the CPU 21, and the control contents will be described together with related actions.
As shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 21 performs the first start winning process routine R1, the first winning process routine R2, the symbol variation processing routine R3, the first type jackpot processing routine R4, the second start winning process routine R5, and the second winning prize. A main program comprising a processing routine R6, a blade opening processing routine R7, a V winning process routine R8, a privilege content determination processing routine R9, a first ceiling processing routine R10, a second ceiling processing routine R11, and a special winning process routine R12 is repeatedly executed. It has a configuration.

  FIG. 5 shows the contents of the first start winning process routine R1. In this routine R1, the ON state of the first start winning switch 13 (that is, the pachinko ball winning state to the first start winning port 6) is determined based on whether or not a detection pulse is input from the switch 13 (step A1) If it is not turned on, the process directly returns to the main program.

  On the other hand, when the first start winning switch 13 is turned on, is the first reserved ball count (displayed on the first type hold display section 12b) less than the upper limit “10”? It is determined whether or not (step A2). If the number of first reserved balls has reached the upper limit, the turn is made, but if the number is less than the upper limit, the first lottery operation, that is, the jackpot probability set to “1/300” is set. One lottery operation is performed (step A3), and the first reserved ball data including the lottery result is stored (step A4). Next, the number of stored first held ball data, that is, the first number of held balls is incremented (step A5), and then the process returns to the main program.

As a result of the execution of the first start winning process routine R1 described above, the first lottery operation related to the first type jackpot according to the winning of the pachinko ball to the first start winning opening 6 (the jackpot probability is “1/300”) Is performed, and the number of first reserved balls corresponding to the first reserved ball data is incremented.
FIG. 6 shows the contents of the first winning process routine R6. In this routine R6, the ON state of the first winning switch 16a or 16b (that is, the pachinko ball winning state in the first winning port 11d or 11e in the center accessory 11) is detected by the detection pulse from the switch 16a or 16b. Judgment is made based on whether or not there is an input (step B1).

  On the other hand, when the first winning switch 16a or 16b is turned on, the second reserved ball number (displayed on the first type hold display section 12c) is less than the upper limit “10”. (Step B2). If the number of the second reserved balls has reached the upper limit value, the process returns, but if it is less than the upper limit value, the second lottery operation described above, that is, the jackpot probability set to “1/100” is set. Two lottery operations are performed (step B3), and the second reserved ball data including the lottery result is stored (step B4). Next, the number of stored second held ball data, that is, the second number of held balls is incremented (step B5), and then the process returns to the main program.

As a result of the execution of the second start winning process routine R2 described above, the second lottery operation (bonus probability) for the first type jackpot according to the pachinko ball winning in the first winning slot 11d or 11e in the center accessory 11 "1/100") is performed, and the number of second reserved balls corresponding to the second reserved ball data is incremented.
FIG. 7 shows the contents of the symbol variation processing routine R3. In this routine R3, it is determined whether or not the first type jackpot flag is on (step C1). If the flag is off, it is determined whether or not the second type jackpot flag is on (step C2). As will become clear from the following description, the first type jackpot flag is turned on only during a period in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the first kind jackpot state, and the second kind jackpot flag is set to the second value for the pachinko gaming machine 1. It is turned on only during the period when it is in a seed hit state.

  When at least one of the first type big hit flag and the second type big hit flag is on, that is, in the period when the first type big hit or the second type big hit is generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the process returns to the main program. When both flags are off, that is, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal state (the state where neither the first type big hit or the second type big hit has occurred), the symbol variation on the main digital display unit 12a It is determined whether the display is stopped (step C3). When the symbol variation display is performed, the process returns. When the symbol variation display is stopped, it is determined whether or not the number of the first reserved balls is “1” or more (step C4). In the case of “0”, it is determined whether or not the number of second reserved balls is “1” or more (step C5).

  If both the first reserved ball number and the second reserved ball number are “0”, the process returns as it is. On the other hand, when the number of first reserved balls is “1” or more, the first reserved ball data is read and the first reserved ball number is decremented (steps C6 and C7), and the main digital display unit 12a The symbol variation display is started (step C8). Further, when the number of the second reserved balls is “1” or more in the state where the number of the first reserved balls is “0”, the second reserved ball data is read and the second reserved ball number is decremented (step C9, C10) Thereafter, the process proceeds to step C8 where the symbol variation display on the main digital display unit 12a is started. The symbol variation display is performed in a state accompanied by an effect corresponding to the lottery result attached to the read first holding ball data or second holding ball data.

After the start of symbol variation display on the main digital display unit 12a, it waits for a predetermined time (time corresponding to the above-mentioned effect content) (step C11), and after this waiting, the symbol variation display is stopped (step C12). It is determined whether or not the result is a jackpot (step C13).
If the lottery result is out of order, the process returns after executing step C14 for incrementing the count value of the symbol variation counter provided to count the number of times the symbol variation display operation is performed on the main digital display section 12a. . On the other hand, when the lottery result is a big hit (that is, when a big hit symbol is displayed on the main digital display unit 12a), the first type big hit flag is turned on (step C15). As described above, when the first type big hit flag is turned on, the first prize restricting members 11d 'and 11e' corresponding to the first prize openings 11d and 11e are moved to the restricting position by driving the prize restricting member driving mechanism 27. (Step C16), and thereafter, Step C17 for resetting the count value of the symbol variation counter is executed and the process returns.

  As a result of executing the above-described symbol variation processing routine R3, the symbol variation in the main digital display unit 12a is performed in a period in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a normal state where neither the first type big hit nor the second type big hit has occurred. Only when the display is stopped, the display operation of the lottery result attached to the first reserved ball data and the second reserved ball data (design variation display on the main digital display unit 12a) is started and the reserved ball data is digested. When the lottery result is a big win, the first type big hit flag is turned on and the winning of the pachinko balls to the first winning ports 11d and 11e is regulated. In addition, the number of symbol fluctuation display operations performed on the main digital display unit 12a is counted by the symbol fluctuation counter. If a first type big hit occurs, the count value of the symbol fluctuation counter is reset. Will be. In the above-described symbol variation processing routine R3, the second reserved ball data is digested for the first time after all the first reserved ball data has been digested. It is also possible to have a structure that digests alternately.

  FIG. 8 shows the contents of the first type jackpot processing routine R4. In this routine R4, when the first type big hit flag is turned on ("YES" in step D1), the special winning opening solenoid 26 is excited (step D2). Thereby, the electric accessory 9a is operated and the special winning opening 9 is opened. Next, the number of rounds (initial value is “0”) is incremented (step D3).

  Thereafter, the on state of the big winning switch 19 (that is, the winning state of the pachinko ball in the big winning opening 9) is determined based on the presence or absence of the detection pulse input from the switch 19 (step D4) and turned on. Only in the case of winning, the number of winning balls is incremented (step D5). After the increment, when the number of winning balls reaches 10 (“YES” in step D6), the special winning opening solenoid 26 is demagnetized (step D7). As a result, the operation of the electric accessory 9a is stopped and the special winning opening 9 is closed, so that the single winning opening operation for one round is completed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds is “15” (step D8). When the number of rounds is less than “15”, the process returns, but when it reaches “15”, the first type big hit flag is turned off (step D9). When the first type big hit flag is turned off in this way, the first prize restricting members 11d 'and 11e' corresponding to the first prize winning ports 11d and 11e are moved to the permissible position by driving the prize restricting member driving mechanism 27. (Step D10) After this, Step D11 for resetting the number of winning balls and the number of rounds is executed and the process returns.

  As a result of the execution of the first type jackpot processing routine R4 as described above, if the first type jackpot flag is on, that is, the first and second reserved ball data consumed in the symbol variation processing routine R3. If the accompanying lottery result is a big hit, the opening and closing operation of the grand prize opening 9 is performed for 15 rounds for a predetermined period. In each round, the winning pachinko ball to the big prize opening 9 is played. The operation limited to 10 is executed. In addition, after 15 rounds of opening / closing operation of the big prize opening 9 are performed, the first type big hit flag is turned off, and the pachinko ball prize winning to the first prize opening 11d and 11e is returned to a permitted state. .

  FIG. 9 shows the contents of the second start winning process routine R5. In this routine R5, the ON state of the second start winning switch 14a or 14b (that is, the pachinko ball winning state to the second start winning port 7 or 8) is determined based on whether or not a detection pulse is input from the switch 14a or 14b. Based on the determination (step E1), if it is not turned on, the process directly returns to the main program.

  On the other hand, when the second start winning switch 14a or 14b is turned on, the third reserved ball count (displayed on the second type hold display section 12d) is less than the upper limit “10”. It is determined whether or not there is (step E2). If the number of the third reserved balls has reached the upper limit value, the process returns. If it is less than the upper limit value, the storage operation of the first expansion operation right data is performed (step E3). Next, the number of stored first expanding operation right data, that is, the number of third reserved balls is incremented (step E4), and then the process returns.

As a result of the execution of the second start winning process routine R2 described above, the right of the first spreading operation of the blade 11b related to the second type jackpot is generated according to the winning of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 7 or 8. At the same time, the number of third reserved balls is incremented. In addition, the said 1st expansion operation right is a right to perform the short time expansion operation of the blade | wing 11b only once.
FIG. 10 shows the contents of the second winning process routine R6. In this routine R6, the ON state of the second winning switch 17a or 17b (that is, the pachinko ball winning state in the second winning port 11f or 11g in the center accessory 11) is detected by the detection pulses from the switches 17a and 17b. A determination is made based on whether or not there is an input (step F1).

  On the other hand, when the second winning switch 17a or 17b is turned on, the number of the fourth reserved balls (this is displayed on the second type hold display section 12e) is less than the upper limit “10”. (Step F2). If the number of the fourth reserved balls has reached the upper limit value, the process returns. If it is less than the upper limit value, the second expanding operation right data is stored (step F3). Next, the number of stored second expanding operation right data, that is, the number of fourth reserved balls is incremented (step F4), and then the process returns.

  As a result of the execution of the second winning process routine R6 described above, the second spreading operation of the blade 11b related to the second type jackpot according to the winning of the pachinko ball in the second winning opening 11f or 11g in the center accessory 11 As the right is generated, the number of the fourth reserved balls is incremented. In addition, the said 2nd expansion operation right is a right to perform the short time expansion operation of the blade | wing 11b only twice continuously.

  FIG. 11 shows the contents of the blade opening process routine R7. In this routine R7, it is determined whether or not the first type jackpot flag is on (step G1). If the flag is off, it is determined whether or not the second type jackpot flag is on (step G2). When both of the above flags are off, that is, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a normal state (a state where no jackpot has occurred), it is determined whether or not the third reserved ball number is “1” or more ( Step G3), in the case of “0” (corresponding to the case where the first expansion operation right data is not stored), it is determined whether or not the number of the fourth reserved balls is “1” or more (Step G4). .

  If the number of the third reserved ball and the number of the fourth reserved ball are both “0” (corresponding to the case where neither the first expansion operation right data and the second expansion operation right data are stored), the process returns as it is. To do. On the other hand, when the number of the third reserved balls is “1” or more, the blade opening solenoid 25 is excited for 0.3 seconds (step G5), so that the blade 11b is expanded for 0.3 seconds. Open operation. After this, the step G6 for decrementing the number of the third retained balls, the time for performing the short-time expansion operation of the blade 11b (the expansion operation when the second type big hit occurs is not included) is provided to be counted. Step G7 for incrementing the count value of the blade open counter is sequentially executed and the process returns.

  When the number of the third reserved balls is “0” and the number of the fourth retained balls is “1” or more, the operation of exciting the blade opening solenoid 25 for 0.3 seconds is repeated twice ( In step G8), the blade 11b is continuously expanded twice for 0.3 seconds. Thereafter, step G9 for decrementing the number of the fourth reserved balls and the count increment step G7 are sequentially executed, and the process returns.

  If the first type jackpot flag is ON ("YES" in step G1), that is, if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the first kind jackpot state, the process returns as it is, but the second kind jackpot flag is If it is on (“YES” in step G2), that is, if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the second type big hit state, the number of blade opening incremented as will be described later is an upper limit value, for example “18 "Is reached or not (step G10).

  When the blade opening frequency is less than “18”, the blade opening solenoid 25 is excited for 1 second (step G11), and thus the blade 11b is expanded for the time. After this, step G12 for incrementing the blade opening number is executed and the process returns. Further, when the number of blade opening times has reached 18, the second type big hit flag is turned off (step G13). As described above, when the second type big hit flag is turned off, the winning restriction member driving mechanism 27 is driven to move the second winning restriction members 11f 'and 11g' corresponding to the second winning openings 11f and 11g to the permissible position. (Step G14). The second prize restricting members 11f 'and 11g' are moved to the restricting position in response to turning on of the second type big hit flag, as will be described later. After this, step G15 for resetting the number of winning balls and the number of rounds incremented as will be described later and step G16 for resetting the number of open blades are sequentially executed, and then the process returns.

FIG. 12 shows the contents of the V winning process routine R8. In this routine R8, the ON state of the V winning switch 15 (that is, the pachinko ball winning state to the V winning port 11c) is determined based on whether or not a detection pulse is input from the switch 15 (step H1). Whether or not the second kind big hit flag is ON is judged only when it is done (step H2).
When the type 2 jackpot flag is on, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds has reached the upper limit “15” (step H3). After executing step H4 for incrementing the number, step H5 for resetting the number of winning balls, and step H6 for resetting the number of open blades, the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the number of rounds has reached “15”, the number of winning balls is incremented (step H7). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of winning balls has reached the upper limit “10” (step H8). If it is less than “10”, the process directly returns. Further, when the number of winning balls has reached “10”, the step H9 for turning off the second type jackpot flag and the second winning restriction members 11f ′ and 11g ′ corresponding to the second winning ports 11f and 11g are permitted. After the step H10 for moving to the position, the step H11 for resetting the number of winning balls and the number of rounds, and the blade opening number resetting step H6 are sequentially executed, the process returns.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the V winning switch 15 is turned on and the second type big hit flag is off ("NO" in step H2), that is, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the second type big hit state. If not, the type 2 big hit flag is turned on (step H12). Thus, when the second type big hit flag is turned on, the winning restriction member driving mechanism 27 is driven to move the second winning restriction members 11f 'and 11g' to the restriction position (step H13), and thereafter the blades are opened. Step H14 for resetting the count value of the counter is executed, and the process returns.

  As a result of the execution of the blade opening processing routine R7 and the V prize winning processing routine R8 as described above, during the period when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal state, it is based on the third number of reserved balls (first expanding operation right data). The blade 11b is expanded only once for a short time and the first expanding operation right data is consumed, or the blade 11b is operated twice based on the fourth reserved ball number (second expanding operation right data). The operation of continuously expanding for a short time and consuming the second expansion operation right data is executed. In this case, the second spread operation right data is digested only after the first spread operation right data is completely digested. However, the first spread operation right data and the second spread operation data are used. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which rights data is digested alternately.

  When the pachinko ball wins the V winning opening 11c during the expansion period of the blade 11b, the second type big hit flag is turned on and the winning of the pachinko balls to the second winning openings 11f and 11g is regulated. become. Thus, in the state where the second type big hit has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a total of ten pachinko balls win the period until the blade 11b is expanded 18 times, or for each of the winning ports 11c to 11i. The operation in which the period up to 1 round is executed can be executed up to 15 times. In addition, if there is no pachinko ball winning in the V winning opening 11c during the operation period of the first round, the second type jackpot flag is turned off and the second kind jackpot of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is ended. become. In addition, the number of executions of the blade 11b for the short time expansion operation is counted by the blade opening counter, but when the second type big hit occurs, the count value of the blade opening counter is reset. Become. When the second type jackpot flag is turned off, the pachinko ball winning to the second winning openings 11f and 11g is returned to a permitted state.

  FIG. 13 shows the content of the privilege content determination processing routine R9. In this routine R9, it is determined whether or not specific predetermined symbols (eg, “737” and “373”) are displayed on the main digital display section 12a (step I1), and the specific symbols are displayed. If not, return to the main program. On the other hand, when the unspecified symbol is displayed (corresponding to the state where the special winning condition is satisfied in the present invention), the privilege content is determined by lottery (step I2). In this case, as the above-mentioned privilege, occurrence of type 1 jackpot and occurrence of type 2 jackpot are prepared, and in step I12, either type 1 jackpot or type 2 jackpot is selected as a lottery result. Note that the probability of selecting the first type big hit and the second type big hit is ½ each.

  Next, it is determined whether the lottery result is the first type big hit or the second type big hit (step I3). If the lottery result is the first type big hit, the first confirmation flag is turned on (step I4). If it is a big hit of two types, the second confirmation flag is turned on (step I5). After the first confirmation flag or the second confirmation flag is turned on in this way, the special prize restricting members 11h ′ and 11i ′ corresponding to the special prize openings 11h and 11i are permitted by driving the prize restricting member driving mechanism 27. Move to the position (step I6), and then return.

  FIG. 14 shows the contents of the first ceiling processing routine R10. In this routine R10, the count value of the symbol variation counter provided to count the number of executions of the symbol variation display operation in the main digital display section 12a has reached “1000” which is a preset first ceiling value. Whether or not (step J1). When the count value is less than “1000”, the process returns to the main program as it is. However, when the count value reaches “1000”, the first ceiling flag is turned on (step J2), and the symbol variation counter counts. The numerical value is reset (step J3). Thereafter, by driving the winning restriction member driving mechanism 27, the special winning restriction members 11h 'and 11i' corresponding to the special winning openings 11h and 11i are moved to the permissible positions (step J4), and then the process returns.

  FIG. 15 shows the contents of the second ceiling processing routine R11. In this routine R11, whether or not the count value of the blade opening counter provided so as to count the number of executions of the short-time expansion operation of the blade 11b has reached “100” that is a preset second ceiling value. Is determined (step K1). When the count value is less than “100”, the process directly returns to the main program. However, when the count value reaches “100”, the second ceiling flag is turned on (step K2), and the blade opening counter counts. The numerical value is reset (step K3). Thereafter, by driving the winning restriction member driving mechanism 27, the special winning restriction members 11h 'and 11i' corresponding to the special winning openings 11h and 11i are moved to the permissible positions (step K4), and then the process returns.

  FIG. 16 shows the contents of the special winning process routine R12. In this routine R12, the ON state of the special winning switch 18a or 18b (that is, the pachinko ball winning state to the special winning opening 11h or 11i) is determined based on whether or not a detection pulse is input from the switch 18a or 18b. (Step L1) If it is not turned on, the process directly returns to the main program. On the other hand, when the special winning switch 18a or 18b is turned on, the type of the flag that is turned on at that time among the first ceiling flag, the first confirmation flag, the second ceiling flag, and the second confirmation flag is changed. Judgment is made (steps L2, L3).

  If the first ceiling flag or the first confirmation flag is turned on, the first type big hit flag is turned on (step L4). Next, by driving the winning restriction member driving mechanism 27, the first winning restriction members 11d 'and 11e' corresponding to the first winning openings 11d and 11e are moved to the restriction position, and at the same time, the special winning openings 11h and 11i are moved. The corresponding special prize restricting members 11h 'and 11i' are moved to the restricting positions (step L5). After this, after executing step L6 for turning off the flag that is on at that time (any one of the first ceiling flag, the first confirmation flag, the second ceiling flag, and the second confirmation flag), the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the second ceiling flag or the second confirmation flag is turned on, the second type big hit flag is turned on (step L7). Next, by driving the winning restriction member driving mechanism 27, the first winning restriction members 11d 'and 11e' corresponding to the second winning openings 11f and 11g are moved to the restriction positions, and at the same time, the special winning openings 11h and 11i are moved. After executing the step L8 for moving the corresponding special prize restricting members 11h 'and 11i' to the restricting position and the step L6 in sequence, the process returns.

  If “NO” is determined in both steps L2 and L3, the process returns to the main program. However, the state in which “NO” is determined in both steps L2 and L3 is not normal, but for example, the pachinko ball gets over the special prize restricting members 11h ′ and 11i ′ and the special prize opening 11h. Alternatively, in the case where the player has accidentally won 11i (when “YES” is determined in Step L1), “NO” is determined in both Steps L2 and L3. By returning to the main program, the accidental winning of a pachinko ball in the special winning opening 11h or 11i is ignored.

As a result of executing the privilege content determination processing routine R9, the first ceiling processing routine R10, the second ceiling processing routine R11, and the special prize processing routine R12 as described above, the following effects are obtained.
That is, when a special out symbol is displayed on the main digital display 12a (when the special winning condition is satisfied), the first type big hit is generated according to the pachinko ball winning in the special winning opening 11h or 11i. Is turned on, or a second winning flag that guarantees the occurrence of the second type jackpot in response to the winning is turned on, and the special winning regulating member 11h ′ And 11i ′ are moved to the permissible position so that the pachinko balls can be won in the special winning openings 11h and 11i.

  Further, when the number of executions of the symbol variation display operation on the main digital display unit 12a reaches “1000” which is the first ceiling value, that is, the lottery result for the first type big hit is 1000 times out of success. The first ceiling flag that ensures that the first type jackpot is generated according to the winning of the pachinko ball in the special winning opening 11h or 11i is turned on, and the special winning restriction member 11h ′ and 11i 'is moved to the permissible position so that a pachinko ball can be won in the special winning openings 11h and 11i.

  Furthermore, when the short-time expansion operation of the blades 11b reaches the second ceiling value “100”, that is, the short-time expansion operation of the blades 11b for the second type big hit occurs in the second type big hit. If the game is performed 100 times without a special event, the second ceiling flag is turned on to guarantee that a second type jackpot will be generated in response to the pachinko ball winning in the special winning opening 11h or 11i. At the same time, the special prize restricting members 11h 'and 11i' are moved to the permissible position so that the pachinko balls can be awarded to the special prize openings 11h and 11i.

  And when the pachinko ball wins the special winning opening 11h or 11i with the first confirmation flag or the first ceiling flag turned on, the first jackpot flag is turned on and the first winning opening 11d and 11e pachinko ball winning is regulated. Further, when the pachinko ball is awarded to the special winning opening 11h or 11i with the second confirmation flag or the second ceiling flag turned on, the second jackpot flag is turned on and the second winning opening 11f and The pachinko ball winning to 11g will be regulated.

  In short, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above, when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 6, it is accompanied by a symbol changing operation on the main digital display unit 12a of the liquid crystal display panel 12. When the right of the first lottery operation (hits the jackpot probability is 1/300) related to the first type jackpot is generated and the pachinko ball wins the second start winning port 7 or 8, it becomes an opportunity to generate the second type jackpot A right spreading operation right (first spreading operation right) of the blade 11b is generated. Further, in the winning area of the center accessory 11 provided with the blades 11b, there are two special winning holes 11h and 11i that are always held in a state where the winning of the pachinko ball is regulated. The special winning openings 11h and 11i are displayed when a predetermined off symbol (“737”, “373”) predetermined on the main digital display portion 12a is displayed with the game (when the special winning conditions are satisfied). It will be possible to switch to a state that allows the winning of a pachinko ball. When the pachinko ball wins the special winning opening 11h or 11i from such a switching state, either the first type big hit or the second type big win is selectively generated.

  In other words, in addition to the pachinko ball winning at the first start winning opening 6, the first type jackpot is winning a pachinko ball at the special winning opening 11h or 11i provided in the center bonus 11 for the second winning hit. In addition to the pachinko ball winning in the second start winning opening 7 or 8, the second type jackpot is also generated by the pachinko ball winning in the special winning opening 11h or 11i. . Therefore, the game forms that are the triggers for generating the first type jackpot and the second type jackpot are rich in changes, and as a result, the diversification of the game contents and the accompanying improvement in the gameability can be promoted.

  Further, in the winning area of the center bonus 11, the right to start the operation of the main digital display unit 12a, that is, the second lottery operating right related to the first type jackpot according to the winning of the pachinko ball (the jackpot probability is 1/100). ) To generate the first prize opening 11d and 11e and the pachinko ball winning prize, the continuous short-time expansion operation right (second expansion operation right) of the blade 11b that is the trigger for generating the second type jackpot Since the second winning ports 11f and 11g to be generated are provided, the game form is further varied, and the game contents can be further diversified.

  Furthermore, when the number of continuous movements of the main digital display unit 12a (the number of times of execution of the symbol variation display operation) reaches the first ceiling value (= 1000), or the number of continuous short-time expansion operations of the blades 11b is the second number. When the ceiling value (= 100) is reached, the special prize condition is established, and the special prize opening 11h and 11i can be switched to a state that allows the pachinko ball to be awarded. It becomes useful in doing.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified or expanded as described below, for example.
The first winning ports 11d and 11e, the second winning ports 11f and 11g, and the special winning ports 11h and 11i are in a state in which the pachinko ball winning is permitted and restricted by the corresponding winning restriction members 11d 'to 11i'. Although it was set as the structure switched, each winning opening 11d-11i may be the structure switched to the state where the winning of the pachinko ball was validated, and the state invalidated.

  That is, for example, the special winning openings 11h and 11i are always held in a state in which the pachinko ball winning is invalidated, and the special winning conditions (in the first embodiment, a specific predetermined value is set in the main digital display unit 12a). When the off symbol (“737”, “373” is displayed) is established, the pachinko ball winning can be switched to the activated state. However, “invalidation” here means that there is no first or second type jackpot according to the winning of the pachinko ball in the special winning openings 11h and 11i, and the pachinko ball as the winning ball The discharging operation is performed.

  In addition, the first winning ports 11d and 11e and the second winning ports 11f and 11g are always held in a state in which the pachinko ball winning is enabled, and the first winning ports 11d and 11e are generated when the first type jackpot is generated. Is invalidated and the second winning holes 11f and 11g are invalidated when the second type jackpot is generated. The “invalidation” here also means that in the case of the first winning holes 11d and 11e, the second lottery operation right does not occur due to the winning of the pachinko ball, and in the case of the second winning holes 11f and 11g, This means that the second spreading operation right of the blade 11b is not generated by winning the ball, and the pachinko ball is released as a prize ball.

  Although the first type jackpot and the second type jackpot do not proceed simultaneously, a configuration in which these jackpots proceed simultaneously may be used. Further, when the first type jackpot and the second type jackpot occur at the same time, it may be configured to preferentially execute one jackpot. For example, when the second jackpot condition is satisfied during the first kind jackpot period, the first kind jackpot is interrupted and switched to the second kind jackpot, and then the first kind jackpot is restored when the second kind jackpot ends. When the first jackpot condition is satisfied during a period of the second type jackpot, the second jackpot can be switched to the first jackpot after the second kind jackpot is completed.
