  Next, a control system of the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the present control system includes a main board 30 and a sub board 42 connected to the main board 30. The main board 30 manages the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 in an integrated manner, and includes a system program for managing the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 and a semiconductor memory in which a game execution program is stored in advance. A storage unit (not shown) and a microprocessor (MPU) (not shown) that executes these programs are provided.

  The main board 30 includes a winning determination unit 31, a winning signal output unit 32, a first lottery unit 33, a second lottery unit 34, a game control unit 35, a holding unit 36, an operation control unit 37, an operation determination unit 38, and an operation determination unit. 39, hold release lottery means 70, release lottery probability change means 71, table data management means 72, first counting means 73, and second counting means 74. Further, a lid opening / closing solenoid 64, a regulation valve opening / closing solenoid 40, a starter chucker opening / closing solenoid 45, an attacker opening / closing solenoid 41, a lid detection sensor 58, and a regulation valve detection sensor 65 are connected to the main board 30.

  The winning determination means 31 is configured such that game balls launched into the game area 7 a by a launching device (not shown) that is operated by operating the launching handle 9 are the first starting chucker 16, winning openings 27 and 29, and the second starting chucker 29. When winning a prize, it is determined that the prize has been won. Further, the winning determination means 31 determines that there has been a winning even when the winning opening 48 is won.

  The winning signal output means 32 outputs a winning signal indicating that a winning has been won in the corresponding first start chucker 16, winning slot 27, 29, 48 or second start chucker 29 when the winning determination means 31 determines a winning. To do.

  The first lottery means 33, when a game ball is won in the first starter chucker 16, and when the winning signal is input from the winning signal output means 32, the first lottery means 33 wins less than the maximum number of reserved balls (for example, four) As a trigger, it is not possible to win either one of the probability change that will give a player a special added value until the next jackpot is won, or the normal hit that does not become the special state. The winning winning random number is obtained from the illustrated lottery memory, and the big winning lottery is executed.

  The second lottery means 34 is a lottery based on a random number of effects stored in an effect memory (not shown) in the case of winning a big hit lottery in the first lottery means 33. The variation pattern that the symbols such as “111”, “333”, “777”, etc. are finally aligned on the jackpot active line of the main display screen 47 is determined, and the variation pattern command to that effect is a game control means described later. 35. The “big hit effective line” means a position (line) where the symbols should be arranged in a row in order to obtain the big hit.

  Further, the second lottery means 34 is a lottery based on the production random number value, and “222” and “444” corresponding to the normal win as a result of the fluctuation in the lottery based on the effect random number value when the big win lottery in the first lottery means 33 is won. And a variation pattern indicating that symbols such as “888” are finally aligned on the jackpot active line of the main display screen 47, and outputs the variation pattern command to the game control means 35 described later.

  Further, when the second lottery means 34 is lost in the big win lottery in the first lottery means 33, the lottery based on the production random number value is changed, and “252”, “464” and “838” corresponding to the deviation are obtained as a result of fluctuation. And the like, and a variation pattern command indicating that the symbols such as are finally aligned on the jackpot active line of the main display screen 47 is determined, and this variation pattern command is output to the game control means 35 described later.

  The holding means 36 receives the variation pattern command output from the second lottery means 34 and sequentially stores it as a holding ball that is the result of the lottery performed each time the first starting chucker 16 is won. The storage status is lit and displayed as, for example, a maximum of four reserved balls on a reserved ball display unit (not shown) provided in the main display device 47. For example, the holding means 36 always determines whether or not the number H of held balls is 0 <H <5. While the number H of four held balls is displayed, the holding means 36 is involved in winning the first starter chucker 16. There is no big hit lottery. Note that the number of reserved balls that are lit and displayed as the reserved balls is not limited to the “maximum of four”, and may be set as appropriate, for example, three or less or five or more.

  Then, the holding unit 36 sequentially transmits the fluctuation pattern commands held (stored) to the display control unit 44, and does not transmit the next fluctuation pattern command until the effect display based on the transmitted fluctuation pattern commands is completed. To set (turn on) a symbol variation prohibition flag to set the symbol variation prohibition flag to be set, and set a symbol variation timer (not shown) for measuring the time to release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag. In response, the number of reserved balls is decremented by one. Further, the holding means 36 indicates the result of the jackpot lottery in response to the winning to the first starting chucker 16 performed by the first lottery means 33 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. Store as a reserved ball and increment the number of held balls by one.

  On the other hand, the hold release lottery means 70 first performs a lottery for releasing the hold state of the hold device 25, that is, a lottery for hitting / leaving the hold device 25 when a game ball wins the second starting chucker 29. Therefore, a winning random number value is acquired from a lottery memory (not shown), and the first table data 91 or the second table data 92 described later is referred to for details. Further, based on the lottery result, the hold release lottery means 70 receives symbols such as “33” and “77” corresponding to winning, or “12” and “54” corresponding to losing, etc. A variation pattern to be finally aligned on the active line is determined, and this variation pattern command is output to the game control means 35 described later.

  The cancellation lottery probability changing unit 71 selects and changes the first table data 91 or the second table data 92 referred to when the hold cancellation lottery unit 70 performs the lottery by a change process described later in detail.

  The table data management means 72 manages the first table data 91 and the second table data 92 stored in a non-illustrated non-volatile memory as shown in FIG. Among these, in the present embodiment, the first table data 91 shown in FIG. 7A has a random number range in which the “winning state” is win, for example, 0 to 11, and is extracted by the hold cancellation lottery means 70. The second table data 92 shown in FIG. 7B has a low random number range in which the “winning state” is, for example, 0. It is so-called high probability table data that has a high probability that the random number extracted by the hold cancellation lottery means 70 is a hit.

  The first counting means 73 wins the jackpot by the lottery of the first lottery means 33, and after the jackpot game is finished (after the game state execution process advantageous to the player by the jackpot game executing means is finished). From this, the number of times the lottery is performed by the hold cancellation lottery means 70 is counted. The number of times counted by the first counting means 73 is one of the conditions for selecting and changing the table data by the release lottery probability changing means 71. Specifically, the number of times counted by the first counting means 73 is the first number. When it is within 1 predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times), the release lottery probability changing means 71 changes the selection to the second table data 92.

  In addition, the second counting means 74 has won the jackpot by the lottery of the first lottery means 33, and after the jackpot game is finished (the game state execution processing advantageous to the player by the jackpot game executing means is finished). After), the number of times the first lottery means 33 has performed the lottery is counted. The number of times counted by the second counting means 74 is one of the conditions for selecting and changing the table data by the cancellation lottery probability changing means 71. Specifically, the number of times counted by the second counting means 74 is the first number. When the number is equal to or greater than 2 predetermined times (for example, 1000 times), the release lottery probability changing unit 71 changes the selection to the second table data 92.

  The game control means (game control means) 35 generates a signal related to the contents of the effect to be displayed on the main display device 47 based on the lottery result in the second lottery means 34 in accordance with the preset jackpot effect data. This is transmitted together with the control command to the first display control means 44 of the sub-board 42. In addition, the game control means 35 corresponds to the lottery result in the hold release lottery means 70, in particular, the extracted random numbers in the first table data 91 and the second table data 92, according to the preset effect data for the holding device. Based on the display design to be performed, a signal relating to the contents of the effect to be displayed on the sub display device 46 is transmitted to the second display control means 80 of the sub board 42 together with the control command.

  The operation control means (game control means) 37 sends a drive signal to the lid opening / closing solenoid 64 to operate the solenoid 64 based on a signal indicating that the operation determination means (game control means) 39, which will be described later, is determined to start operation. Then, the lid 53 is opened or closed, and a drive signal is sent to the restriction valve opening / closing solenoid 40 to operate the solenoid 40 to open or close the release restriction valve 55. The operation control means 37 opens or closes the first start chucker 16 by sending a drive signal to the start chucker opening / closing solenoid 45 and operating the solenoid 45 based on a signal indicating the start of operation of the operation determination means 39. Let Further, the operation control means 37 sends a drive signal to an attacker opening / closing solenoid (game control means) 41 to activate the solenoid 41, and when the big lot is generated by the lottery in the first lottery means 33, the attacker 17 is opened and a predetermined number of prizes are won. Control is performed so that the closing operation is repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined rounds) every time the operation ends (or a predetermined time elapses).

  The operation determining means (game control means) 38 determines whether or not a condition for operating the lid opening / closing solenoid 64, the regulating valve opening / closing solenoid 40, the start chucker opening / closing solenoid 45, and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 41 is satisfied. In the lid opening / closing solenoid 64, the time when the opening of the lid 53 is “satisfied” is when, for example, the closure of the release regulating valve 55 is detected based on the detection of the regulating valve detection sensor 65, The time when “the condition is satisfied” of the closure of the lid 53 is, for example, a case where it is determined immediately before the opening operation of the release regulating valve 55. In the restriction valve opening / closing solenoid 40, “when the condition is satisfied” for opening the release restriction valve 55 is, for example, a case where the lottery result of the hold release lottery means 70 is a win, and in particular the design of the sub display screen 46. Is the state where the release restriction valve 55 is closed, and the time when the game ball released from the holding unit 50 of the holding device 25 finishes dropping is, for example, 1 second. This is the case.

  Further, in the starter chucker opening / closing solenoid 45, when “the condition is satisfied” for opening / closing the first starter chucker 16, the main board 30 is won by a lottery performed separately from the big lottery of the first lottery means 33. It is. In the attacker open / close solenoid 41, when the “conditions” for opening the attacker 17 are met, three big symbols from the state of so-called reach (including so-called super reach and normal reach) are aligned on the big hit effective line and the big hit is made. This is a case where the occurrence occurs, and the time when “the condition is satisfied” of the blockage of the attacker 17 is when the winning of one round at the time of occurrence of the jackpot is completed (or when a predetermined time has elapsed).

  The operation determining means 39 receives the determination signal from the operation determining means 38 and determines the operation start of the lid opening / closing solenoid 64, the regulating valve opening / closing solenoid 40, the start chucker opening / closing solenoid 45, and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 41, respectively.

  The lid opening / closing solenoid 64 opens and closes the lid 53 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37.

  The restriction valve opening / closing solenoid 40 opens and closes the release restriction valve 55 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37.

  The start chucker opening / closing solenoid 45 opens and closes the first starter chucker 16 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37.

  The attacker opening / closing solenoid 41 opens / closes the attacker 17 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward / backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37.

  The lid detection sensor 58 outputs a detection signal to that effect to the main board 30 when the lid 53 is in the closed position (state shown in FIG. 5).

  The restriction valve detection sensor 65 detects whether the release restriction valve 55 is in the closed position (state shown in FIG. 4) or the open position (state shown in FIG. 5), and transmits a signal to that effect to the main board 30. To do.

  On the other hand, the sub board 42 includes an effect control means 43, a first display control means 44, and a second display control means 80. The sub board 42 includes the sound emitting device 11, the effect lighting device 10, and the main display device. A display device 47 and a sub display device 46 are connected.

  The effect control means 43 drives the sound emitting device 11 and the effect lighting device 10 in a timely manner in accordance with the signal supplied from the microprocessor in the main board 30 to perform an effect display appealing to the player's vision and hearing.

  The first display control unit 44 drives the main display device 47 in a timely manner in accordance with the signal related to the contents of the effect transmitted from the game control unit 35, and displays the effect so as to appeal to the player's vision of the result of the big hit lottery.

  The second display control means 80 drives the sub display device 46 in a timely manner in accordance with the signal related to the contents of the effect transmitted from the game control means 35 so as to appeal to the player's vision of the result of the winning lottery regarding the release of the holding device 25. Produce display.

  As described above, the sound emitting device 11, the effect lighting device 10, the main display device 47, and the sub display device 46 respond to each control to generate sound, light, and the like, thereby producing special effects during normal effects and big hits. Make a variety of performances.

  Next, the process related to the jackpot by the pachinko machine 1 (that is, the process as the first type special electric accessory) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  That is, when a player seated facing the pachinko machine 1 holds the firing handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle (step S1), the game ball is moved for a predetermined time by the operation of the launching device (not shown). Fired continuously toward the game area 7a at intervals. Then, a large number of game balls that are launched into the game area 7a of the game board 7 and roll and fall are timely awarded to the first starter chucker 16 and the winning holes 27 and 29, or roll and fall without being involved in these. Then, the game area 7a is discharged to the back side of the game board 7 from the lower outlet 22. Note that the case where the second starter chucker 29 is won will be described in the release lottery process of the holding device described later.

  When the first starter chucker 16 is won, the winning determination means 31 determines the winning and the winning signal output means 32 outputs a winning signal (step S2). At this time, the holding means 36 always determines whether or not the holding ball H is 0 <H <5. When it is determined that 0 <H <5 is satisfied, the holding variation pattern command is The information is sequentially transmitted to the display control means 44 via the game control means 35, the symbol variation prohibition flag is turned on, the symbol variation timer is set, and the number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of the variation pattern command. Further, the holding means 36 indicates the result of the big win lottery according to the winning to the start winning opening 16 performed by the first lottery means 33 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. Store as a reserved ball and increment the number of held balls by one.

  Then, when winning in the jackpot lottery (step S3), when the first lottery means 33 turns on the winning flag, the second lottery means 34 performs the lottery in the lottery based on the effect random number stored in the effect memory. That is, the variation pattern corresponding to the probability variation or the normal variation is determined.

  Thereby, in step S4, the game control means 35 outputs a change pattern command to that effect to the first display control means 44, and a winning symbol to be displayed on the main display device 47 is set, and the change pattern. The symbol variation timer for measuring the time to turn on the symbol variation prohibition flag and release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag so that the next variation pattern command is not transmitted until the effect display based on the command is finished. Is set, and the number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to transmission of the fluctuation pattern command. On the other hand, if the big hit lottery is lost, the variation pattern that the symbols corresponding to the loss are finally obtained as a result of the variation in the lottery based on the rendering random number value stored in the rendering memory by the second lottery means 34 Is determined, and the game control means 35 outputs a change pattern command to that effect to the first display control means 44. As a result, the off symbol displayed on the main display device 47 is set, and the game control means 35 turns on the symbol variation prohibition flag, sets the symbol variation timer, and holds the holding ball in response to the transmission of the variation pattern command. Decrement the number by one.

  As described above, based on the fact that the game control means 35 transmits a signal related to the contents to be displayed on the main display device 47 to the first display control means 44 of the sub-board 42 together with the control command, the first display control means. 44 drives the main display device 47 in a timely manner, and displays the contents related to the jackpot lottery result so as to appeal to the player's vision (step S5).

  When the lottery result in the first lottery means 33 appears on the screen of the main display device 47, the operation control means 37 outputs a signal indicating the operation start decision of the operation decision means 39 after the determination of the action determination means 38. Based on this, a driving signal is sent to the attacker opening / closing solenoid 41 at a predetermined timing, the solenoid 41 is operated to open the attacker 17, and the operation of closing every predetermined number of winnings (or when a predetermined time elapses) is predetermined. Repeat as many times (predetermined round). Thereby, a large amount of game balls corresponding to the game balls won in the attacker 17 are paid out from the ball supply port 18 to the upper plate 13 (step S6).

  Next, processing related to the hold release of the hold device 25 by the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Similarly, when a player seated facing the pachinko machine 1 holds the firing handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle (step S11), the game ball is moved to a predetermined position by the operation of the launching device (not shown). It is continuously fired toward the game area 7a at time intervals. Then, a large number of game balls that are launched into the game area 7a of the game board 7 and rolling and falling win the second starter chucker 29 in a timely manner, or roll and fall without being involved in the game area 7a. It is discharged from the bottom out port 22 to the back side of the game board 7. When winning the first starter chucker 16, the above-mentioned jackpot lottery process is performed simultaneously (see FIG. 8).

  When winning the second start chucker 29, the winning determination means 31 determines the winning and the winning signal output means 32 outputs a winning signal (step S12).

  The hold release lottery means 70 that has received the winning selection signal of the second starter chucker 29 performs a lottery process related to hitting / disengaging of the hold device 25, which will be described in detail later, that is, a hold release lottery process (step S13). Is a lottery based on an effect random number stored in the effect memory, and determines a variation pattern corresponding to the winning symbol. When lottery is lottery, the variation pattern corresponding to the symbol of the miss is determined in the same manner. Further, when winning a lottery, the number of cancellations is read from the first table data 91 or the second table data 92 based on the extracted random number, and a signal relating to the number of cancellations is output to the game control means 35.

  Thereby, in step S14, the game control means 35 outputs the change pattern command to that effect to the 2nd display control means 80, and the winning symbol or the off symbol which should be displayed on the sub display apparatus 46 is set. For example, until the symbol of the variation pattern is determined, the hold release lottery means 70 does not perform the lottery even if the game ball Ba wins the second starter chucker 29, that is, does not hold the lottery result as the hold ball. Although the above description is given as an example, the winning of the second starter chucker 29 during the change of the symbol may be held as a predetermined number of holding balls, similarly to the jackpot lottery process.

  As described above, based on the fact that the game control means 35 transmits a signal relating to the contents of the effect to be displayed on the sub display device 46 to the second display control means 80 of the sub board 42 together with the control command, the second display control means. 80 drives the sub-display device 46 in a timely manner, and displays the contents relating to the lottery result of the release of the holding device 25 so as to appeal to the player's vision (step S15).

  Thus, when the lottery result in the hold release lottery means 70 appears on the screen of the sub display device 46, the operation control means 37 is a signal indicating that the operation determining means 39 determines the operation start after the operation determining means 38 is determined. First, the lid 53 is closed by the solenoid 64. Then, it is detected by the lid detection sensor 58 that the lid 58 is closed. For example, after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has elapsed, the operation control means 37 is a signal indicating that the operation decision means 39 has decided to start the operation. Based on the above, a drive signal is sent to the restriction valve opening / closing solenoid 40, the solenoid 40 is operated to open the release restriction valve 55 (see FIG. 5), and the release restriction valve 55 is released by the solenoid 40 after a predetermined time (for example, 1 second). Close.

  Accordingly, for example, five game balls Ba are held in the holding unit 50 of the holding device 25, and for example, five game balls Ba held in the holding unit 50 are released toward the winning opening 48, and the winning is achieved. A large number of game balls corresponding to the game balls won in the mouth 48 are paid out to the upper plate 13 from the ball supply port 18, that is, a release operation (release process) of the hold state is performed (step S16). Immediately after the closing operation of the release regulating valve 55, the lid 53 is opened in response to the drive signal from the operation control means 37, and the holding device 25 removes the game ball Ba launched into the game area 7a. It will be acceptable again.

  In addition, when the number of times of release described above is a plurality of times (for example, 10 times, 30 times, etc.), the above-described operation control means 37, operation determination means 38, and operation determination means 39 release the hold state of the hold device 25. Is repeated for the number of times corresponding to the signal of the number of times of release, that is, the release operation of the number of times of release selected by lottery is performed.

  In the state of FIG. 4 in which the discharge regulating valve 55 is closed by the operation of the regulating valve opening / closing solenoid 40 and the lid 53 is opened by the operation of the lid opening / closing solenoid 64 during the above processing, the operation is not shown. When the game ball Ba that has reached the opening 57 while rolling between the obstacle nails enters the opening 57, the game balls Ba are sequentially stored in the storage 50 of the storage device 25, and the fifth is stored. The game ball Ba that further enters from the time point is discharged from the discharge port 51 that opens to the back side of the game board 7 behind the upper part of the fifth game ball Ba.

  Further, when the release regulating valve 55 is opened in response to the drive signal from the operation control means 37, as shown in FIG. 5, all the five game balls Ba held in the holding unit 50 are all at once. Falls into the winning hole 48 through the gap 56a between the obstacle nails 56. In this case, a part of the falling game ball Ba may come into contact with the obstacle nail 56 and be bounced. It may not be possible. In addition, at the time when the release regulating valve 55 is opened, the five holding balls Ba are not necessarily held in the holding unit 50, and even if the number of holding balls is less than five depending on the winning situation, the release regulating valve When 55 is released, all the game balls Ba existing in the holding unit 50 are dropped all at once.

In the present embodiment, the operation of the lid 53 and the release regulating valve 55 in the holding device 25 is performed when the win 53 is lottered by the holding release lottery means 70, so that the lid 53 opens and closes. Although the game ball is held, the release regulating valve 55 is opened and closed, and the release as the holding device 25 has been described, the following operations (A) or (B) can be considered as other operations.
(A) The lid 53 is closed in a normal state, and when the winning lottery means 70 is lottery, the lid 53 is opened for a predetermined time and then closed again, and the release regulating valve 55 is opened and closed. A game ball is released.
(A) When the winning is determined by the holding release lottery means 70, the lid 53 is opened and closed to hold the holding unit 50, and a predetermined number (5) of game balls are held in the holding unit 50. In such a case, the release control valve 55 is opened and closed to release the game ball.

  Next, the hold cancellation lottery process, which is a main part of the present invention, will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the game ball launch process (S11) and the winning process (S12) are performed as described above, the hold release lottery process (S13) is started, and the random number is extracted by the hold release lottery means 70 as shown in FIG. Is performed (S13-1). Here, for example, if the first table data 91 is selected by the release lottery probability changing means 71, the hold release lottery means 70 refers to the first table data 91 shown in FIG. 7A (S13-2). .

  Subsequently, in step S13-3, the hold cancellation lottery means 70 determines whether the extracted random number (hereinafter referred to as “extracted random number”) is a win or not. That is, if the extracted random number is between 0 and 14, it is determined as a hit random number (Yes in S13-3), and if the extracted random number is between 14 and 999, for example, it is determined as an outlier random number (S13). -3 No). If the winning random number is not determined, that is, if it is an extra random number, the process proceeds to step S13-5, that is, the holding device 25 is not released from the holding state.

  When the winning random number is determined, the ON of the winning flag is recorded in a memory (not shown), the number of cancellations is read with reference to the first table data 91 based on the extracted random number, and the number of cancellations is stored in a memory (not shown). A signal is output and recorded (S13-4). Thereby, in the above-described release process (S16), the release operation of the holding device 25 is continuously performed by the number of times corresponding to the signal of the number of times of release. In this release process, when the release of the holding device of the holding device 25 is completed that number of times, the memory hit flag is turned off and the release number signal is also erased.

  In the above-described symbol determination process (S14), the winning display symbol is determined by referring to the first table data 91 according to the extracted random number (for example, “11”, “5” if the extracted random number is 0-4). ˜6 for “6”, “55” for 7-9, “77” for 10-11, respectively, as the display symbol), and the symbol determined in the symbol display process (S15) described above. Is displayed on the sub display device 46 by the second display control means 80 of the sub substrate 42.

  On the other hand, for example, if the second table data 92 is selected by the release lottery probability changing means 71, the hold release lottery means 70 refers to the second table data 92 shown in FIG. 7B (S13-2), It is determined whether the extracted random number is a win or not (S13-3). At this time, if the extracted random number is between 0 and 59, it is determined as a hit random number (Yes in S13-3), and if the extracted random number is between 60 and 999, for example, it is determined as an outlier random number. (No in S13-3). That is, the winning probability in the lottery of the hold cancellation lottery means 70 is changed accordingly.

  Thereafter, similarly, if it is determined that the random number is a random number, the process proceeds to step S13-5 and the holding device 25 is not released from the hold state. Is recorded in a memory (not shown), the number of cancellations is read with reference to the second table data 92 based on the extracted random number, and the number of cancellations is output and recorded in a memory (not shown) (S13-4). The process proceeds to step S13-5. Further, when it is determined that the winning random number is determined, in the above-described release process (S16), the release operation of the holding device 25 is continuously performed by the number of times corresponding to the signal of the number of times of release. When the release of the 25 holding devices is completed by the number of times, the memory hit flag is turned off and the release number signal is also erased.

  In the above-described symbol determination process (S14), the winning display symbol is determined by referring to the second table data 92 according to the extracted random number (for example, “11” if the extracted random number is 0 to 19, 20 ˜24 is determined as “33”, 25-39 is determined as “55”, and 40-59 is determined as “77” as a display symbol), and the symbol determined in the symbol display process (S15) described above. Is displayed on the sub display device 46 by the second display control means 80 of the sub substrate 42.

  When the process related to winning / losing is completed as described above, the process proceeds to step S13-5, and the release lottery probability changing unit 71 starts the winning probability changing process in the lottery of the hold release lottery unit 70. Specifically, first, the table data (first table data 91 or second table data 92) selected by the cancellation lottery probability changing means 71 is referred to, and based on the extracted random number, the cancellation probability change command is issued to change the table data. It is determined whether it corresponds to (S13-5).

  When the table data selected by the cancellation lottery probability changing means 71 is referred to and the table data is not changed, that is, when the first table data 91 is referred to, for example, the extracted random numbers are 0 to 4, 7 to 11, 14 to 999 and corresponds to “no table data change”. When the second table data 92 is referred to, for example, the extracted random numbers are 0 to 19, 25 to 59, 65 to 999, and “table” When it corresponds to “no data change” (No in S13-5), the process proceeds to step S13-8.

  On the other hand, when it corresponds to table data change (when there is a table data change lottery command), that is, when referring to the first table data 91, for example, when the extracted random number is 5-6 or 12-13, the second When the table data 92 is referred to, for example, if the extracted random number is 20 to 24 or 60 to 64 (Yes in S13-5), the process proceeds to step S13-6, and the release lottery probability changing unit 71 changes the table data. The lottery process for the first or second table data 91, 92 is randomly selected. In this table data change lottery process, the selection probability of the first or second table data 91, 92 is, for example, 1/2, but the first table data 91 is 2/3, for example. The second table data 92 may be 1/3, that is, any probability as long as the selection probability is set appropriately.

  And in step S13-7, the cancellation | release lottery probability change means 71 transfers to the table data lottered in the said table data change lottery process. That is, when the selected table data is the first table data 91 and the second table data 92 is selected in the table data change lottery process, or the selected table data is the second table data 92. When the first table data 91 is drawn in the table data change lottery process, the table data selection is changed, and the winning probability in the lottery of the holding release lottery means 70 is changed. Further, when the selected table data is the first table data 91 and the first table data 91 is drawn in the table data change lottery process, or the selected table data is the second table data 92. Thus, when the second table data 92 is drawn in the table data changing lottery process, the table data is not changed.

  In the present embodiment, for example, when the table data change lottery process is performed in the case of corresponding to a specific display pattern “33” in the extracted random numbers (see FIG. 7), the player holds the holding device 25 on hold. When winning the state release lottery, it is possible to know that the lottery has been performed by the display pattern, and it can give the player a sense of expectation, thereby improving the gameability as a gaming machine it can. Further, for example, the table data change lottery process is performed even when the random number is an out-of-random number of the extracted random numbers and the display symbol does not correspond (see FIG. 7). Even if the player does not win, the player can have a sense of expectation, thereby improving the game playability as a gaming machine.

  Subsequently, when proceeding to step S13-8, the release lottery probability changing means 71 is selected by the hold release lottery means 70 after the big hit (after completion of the big hit process in step S6) counted by the first counting means 73. It is determined whether or not the number of times (the number of lottery for holding release after jackpot) is within 100 times (first predetermined number). After the big hit, when the number of lotteries by the hold cancellation lottery means 70 is 100 times or more (No in S13-8), the process proceeds to step S13-9. On the other hand, if the number of lotteries by the hold cancellation lottery means 70 is less than 100 after the big hit (Yes in S13-8), the process proceeds to step S13-10, and the result of the table data changing lottery process (S13-6) is obtained. Regardless, the table data selected by the release lottery probability changing means 71 is the second table data 92, and the hold release lottery process is terminated. As a result, the holding device 25 after the jackpot is maintained in a state in which the releasing operation is performed with high probability until the number of lotteries by the holding release lottery means 70 is performed 100 times. The influence on the player can be increased.

  Furthermore, when it progresses to step S13-9, the cancellation | release lottery probability change means 71 is counted by the said 2nd counting means 74, and the 1st lottery means 33 after the big hit (after completion | finish of the big hit process of step S6). It is determined whether or not the number of lottery times (the number of lottery lottery after jackpot) is 1000 times (second predetermined number) or more. After the big hit, if the number of lotteries by the first lottery means 33 is 1000 or less (No in S13-9), the hold cancellation lottery process is terminated. On the other hand, if the number of lotteries by the first lottery means 33 is 1000 or more after the big hit (Yes in S13-9), the process proceeds to step S13-10, and the result of the table data changing lottery process (S13-6) is obtained. Regardless, the table data selected by the release lottery probability changing means 71 is the second table data 92, and the hold release lottery process is terminated. As a result, the holding device 25 is maintained in a state in which the release operation is performed with a high probability in a state where the lottery is performed 1000 times or more after the previous jackpot but the jackpot is not won. That is, even if the player does not win the jackpot for a long time, the player can be prevented from getting bored.

  In the above embodiment, when the number of lotteries by the hold release lottery means 70 is less than 100 after the big win, or when the number of lotteries by the first lottery means 33 is 1000 or more after the big win, the second table Although the selection of the data 92 has been described, the value of these numbers is not limited, and any value may be used as long as it is set to an appropriate number of times.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 according to the present invention, the release lottery probability changing means 71 has a high probability of winning in the lottery of the hold release lottery means 70 for performing the lottery related to the release of the hold state of the hold device 25. Therefore, the release operation of the holding device 25 is rich in change, and the gameability as the gaming machine 1 can be improved.

  In addition, since the hold release lottery means 70 performs a lottery based on the winning of the game ball in the second starter chucker 29, the release operation of the hold device 25 is performed separately from the lottery of the first lottery means 33. Therefore, the preference as the gaming machine 1 can be increased.

  Further, since the sub display device 46 for displaying the lottery result of the hold release lottery means 70 is provided, the player can easily confirm the release operation of the hold device 25 without being confused with the jackpot lottery result. .
