Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine, and more particularly to a technique for controlling screen display contents in a ball game machine.

Conventionally, among the various ball game machines, the so-called first type pachinko game machine is a game machine that changes a plurality of symbols in a display area such as a liquid crystal display provided substantially at the center of the game board. Display (hereinafter, such display is referred to as “symbol change” or “change display”). This gaming machine shifts to a special game called so-called jackpot where more prize balls can be obtained than a normal game when a combination of symbols when a plurality of rows of symbol variations are stopped becomes a specific mode. It is known as a thing (for example, refer patent document 1). The variable display of symbols in the display area is not only a variable display of multiple symbols, but the time of variable display is usually reduced in a state where it is a big hit if one more symbols are aligned, as in the so-called reach screen. For example, an effect is made to increase the player's expectation, such as making it longer. In addition, the player's expectation can be enhanced by controlling the specific game such as the probability variation that changes the probability of transition to special games by giving the story to the variation display using characters on the images such as symbols Yes.

When the game ball falls into the second starting port 63, the second special symbol 193 is displayed in a variable manner on the second special symbol display device 71, and the second decorative symbol 191 is displayed in a variable manner in the second region 195 of the effect display device 60. The The variable display of the first special symbol 192, the second special symbol 193, the first decorative symbol 190, and the second decorative symbol 191 is stopped after the elapse of the display time determined prior to the display. When the first special symbol 192 and the first decorative symbol 190 at the time of stoppage are in a hit state, the game shifts to the first special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game. The opening / closing operation is started. At this time, the first decorative symbol 190 simulating a game of a slot machine takes a display mode in which three symbols are matched. When the second special symbol 193 and the second decorative symbol 191 at the time of the stop are in a hit state, the game shifts to a second special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and the second big prize opening 92 The opening / closing operation is started. At this time, the second decorative symbol 191 simulating a game of a slot machine also takes a display mode in which the three symbols are matched.

  The first big prize opening 91 and the second big prize opening 92 are temporarily closed after being opened for about 30 seconds or after nine or more game balls are dropped. The opening and closing of the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second big winning prize port 92 is repeated a predetermined number of times, for example, 15 times.

  When a special game occurs and a predetermined condition such as a lottery is satisfied, the probability game (hereinafter referred to as “probability change”) or the reduction in the time required for the change (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction”) as a specific game after the special game ends. Is started). During probability change, a lottery with a higher win probability than the normal probability state is performed, and a new special game is generated relatively early. The time reduction is continued until a predetermined end, for example, the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 changes 100 times. During the time reduction, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 is substantially shortened.

  When the game ball passes through the operation port 68, a symbol called a normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 for a predetermined time. The normal symbol display device 59 is provided on the right side of the effect display device 60. When the normal symbol fluctuation display stops in a predetermined hit state after the predetermined time has elapsed, the normal electric accessory 65 of the third start port 67 expands for a predetermined time. In a normal state, the probability that a normal symbol stops in a winning manner is set to a low probability, but the probability varies with a high probability during a short time. For this reason, in the normal state, the probability that the ordinary electric accessory 65 of the third start port 67 is opened is low, but the probability that the ordinary electric accessory 65 is opened during the time reduction is high. Also, during the time saving, the normal symbol variation display time is shortened, and the time for the ordinary electric accessory 65 to be in the open state is set to be relatively long. As described above, the ordinary electric accessory 65 is difficult to be opened except during the time reduction, whereas the ordinary electric accessory 65 is easily opened during the time reduction, and the number of times and the opening time are increased.

Is done. The determination result by the general symbol lottery means 136 is variably displayed in the form of a normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 59.

  The symbol determination means 114 determines the stop symbol and the variation pattern to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 70, the second special symbol display device 71, and the effect display device 60 according to the lottery result by the success / failure lottery means 112. Moreover, the symbol determination means 114 determines the stop symbol of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 by lottery. The stop symbol is a symbol to be displayed at the end of symbol variation. The symbol determination means 114 holds a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine a special symbol or a normal symbol stop symbol. A first symbol range table is held as a table for determining the first special symbol 192, and a second symbol range table is held as a table for determining the second special symbol 193. In the first symbol range table, the correspondence between the first special symbol 192 represented by the numbers “0” to “9” and the symbol determination lottery value is defined. In the second symbol range table, the correspondence between the second special symbol 193 represented by the marks “◯” and “x” and the symbol determination lottery value is defined. The symbol determination unit 114 holds a pattern determination table to be referred to in order to determine the variation pattern. A first pattern determination table is held as a table for determining the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192, and a second pattern determination table is maintained as a table for determining the variation pattern of the second special symbol 193. However, in the modification, the first pattern determination table and the second pattern determination table may be shared as one pattern determination table.

  The symbol determining unit 114 includes a first symbol determining unit 138, a second symbol determining unit 140, and a universal symbol determining unit 142. The first symbol determining means 138 obtains a symbol determination lottery value for determining the first special symbol 192, refers to the first symbol range table, and determines whether the first lottery means 126 determines whether or not the symbol is determined. The stop symbol of the first special symbol 192 is determined accordingly. The first symbol determination means 138 refers to the first pattern determination table, and selects one of a plurality of variation patterns according to the result of the determination of success / failure by the success / failure lottery means 112. The second symbol determination means 140 acquires a symbol determination lottery value for determining the second special symbol 193, refers to the second symbol range table, and determines whether the second lottery means 128 determines whether or not the symbol is determined and the symbol determination lottery value. The stop symbol of the second special symbol 193 is determined accordingly. The second symbol determination means 140 refers to the second pattern determination table, and selects one of a plurality of variation patterns in accordance with the result of the success / failure determination by the success / failure lottery means 112. The first symbol determination means 138 and the second symbol determination means 140 send data indicating the determined stop symbol and variation pattern to the main display control means 118 and the effect determination means 132.

  The first symbol determination means 138 and the second symbol determination means 140 store a plurality of types of variation patterns in which variation modes from the variation start to the stop when the special symbol is variably displayed are defined. Multiple types of variation patterns have various variation times. That is, for each variation pattern, a variation display time is defined for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the variation of the special symbol is stopped when the variation display time elapses.

  When the game ball passes through the operation port 68, the general symbol determining means 142 acquires a lottery random number for determining a normal symbol, and stops the normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 according to the lottery random number. Determine the design. When the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a specific symbol, the opening / closing control means 124 expands the normal electric accessory 65 of the third start port 67 for a predetermined time.

  The holding control unit 116 includes a first holding unit 144, a second holding unit 146, and a general drawing holding unit 147. The first holding means 144 holds the first success / failure lottery value acquired by the first lottery means 126 as a holding ball. The second holding unit 146 holds the second winning / failing lottery value acquired by the second lottery unit 128 as a holding ball. The general map holding means 147 holds the general map lottery value acquired by the general map lottery means 136 as a holding ball. The first and second success / failure lottery values and the usual drawing lottery values are accumulated until the respective holding numbers reach a predetermined upper limit. The upper limit of the number of holds is 4 for each. The number of first success / failure lottery values held by the first holding means 144 is represented by the number of lighting of the lamps in the first special figure hold lamp 20, and the number of the second success / failure lottery values held by the second holding means 146. The number is represented by the number of lamps lit in the second special figure holding lamp 21, and the number of common figure lottery values held by the general figure holding means 147 is represented by the number of lamps lit in the general figure holding lamp 22.

  The main display control means 118 includes a first special figure control means 148, a second special figure control means 150, a special figure adjustment means 152, and a universal figure control means 153. The first special symbol control means 148 displays the lottery result by the first lottery means 126 on the first special symbol display device 70 as a variation display of the first special symbol 192 according to the variation pattern determined by the first symbol determination means 138. Display. The second special symbol control means 150 gives the result of the lottery by the second lottery means 128 to the second special symbol display device 71 as a variation display of the second special symbol 193 according to the variation pattern determined by the second symbol determination means 140. Display. The first special figure control means 148 and the second special figure control means 150 issue a change start command and a change stop command at the timing of starting and stopping the change display of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193, respectively. By transmitting to the effect display control means 134, the variable display by the main display control means 118 and the effect display control means 134 is synchronized, and interlocking is maintained. The normal symbol control means 153 causes the normal symbol display device 59 to display the lottery result by the normal symbol lottery means 136 as a normal symbol variation display.

  The special figure adjusting means 152 sets the adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode in the normal state, and sets the adjustment mode to the second adjustment mode when the specific game is executed. The special figure adjustment means 152 differs in processing contents between the first adjustment mode and the second adjustment mode. Hereinafter, it demonstrates according to mode.

  First, the processing content of the special figure adjustment means 152 in the first adjustment mode will be described. The special figure adjusting means 152 in the first adjustment mode waits for the start of the other variable display while one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is displayed in a variable manner. The special figure adjusting means 152 includes the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 192 according to the order in which the game balls have entered the first start port 62 or the third start port 67 and the second start port 63. The pattern 193 is selectively displayed in a variable manner. For example, when the first start port 62, the first start port 62, and the second start port 63 are entered in the order, the display is changed in the order of the first special symbol 192, the first special symbol 192, and the second special symbol 193. Is done. The special figure adjustment unit 152 monitors the hold control unit 116 and stores the hold order of the winning / failing lottery values. Which special symbol is to be changed is determined in accordance with the order of entry of the game balls, that is, the hold order of the success / failure lottery values in the hold control means 116, so that the player can easily grasp the order of change visually. Thereby, even if a plurality of game abilities are mixed, by performing control so that the respective game abilities can be individually grasped, novel game abilities can be realized while avoiding the complexity of the game.

  In the modification, the special figure adjusting means 152 in the first adjustment mode may alternately give priority to the fluctuation display of the first special symbol and the fluctuation display of the second special symbol. For example, when the winning / losing lottery value is held only in one of the first holding means 144 and the second holding means 146, only one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be continuously displayed in a variable manner. . However, when the success / failure lottery value is held in both the first holding means 144 and the second holding means 146, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are alternately displayed in a variable manner. As described above, in the modified example, the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are not variably displayed at the same time, so that the player can easily grasp each of the plurality of game characteristics individually. In addition, which special symbol should be changed is simply interchanged regardless of the order of entry of the game balls, so that the player can easily grasp the order of change sensuously. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  When one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is stopped in the hit state, the special figure adjusting means 152 in the first adjustment mode waits for the other variable display to start. In this case, the special symbol change display is not started while the special game is executed, so that the player can concentrate on the special game. Thus, even if a plurality of game abilities are mixed, by performing control so that the respective game abilities can be individually grasped, novel game abilities can be realized while avoiding the complexity of the games.

  Next, the processing content of the special figure adjustment unit 152 in the second adjustment mode will be described. The special figure adjusting means 152 in the second adjustment mode causes the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 to be variably displayed simultaneously in the normal game. That is, in the normal game, even if one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is in the variable display, the other variable display start is not prevented.

  The special figure adjusting means 152 in the second adjustment mode displays the fluctuation display when one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is stopped in the hit state and the other fluctuation display is not performed. Wait for start. In this case, while the special game is executed, the special symbol change display is not newly started, and another special game does not occur at the same time, so the player may concentrate on one special game. it can. In this way, even if a plurality of game abilities are mixed, by performing control so that the game abilities of each special game can be grasped individually, novel game abilities can be realized while avoiding the complexity of the games.

  The special symbol adjusting means 152 in the second adjustment mode is configured such that when one symbol of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed, the other symbol is variably stopped in the hit state. , One of the symbols is forcibly stopped in a disengaged manner. For example, when the second special symbol 193 is stopped in a variation manner while the first special symbol 192 is in a variation display, the variation display of the first special symbol 192 is forcibly stopped in a detachment manner. Similarly, when the first special symbol 192 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the second special symbol 193, the variation display of the second special symbol 193 is forcibly stopped in an outlier manner. As a control method for stopping in the off mode, for example, a method of simultaneously stopping fluctuations in the other special symbol at the timing when one special symbol stops in the hit mode may be used. However, if the other special symbol is also in a hit state if it is stopped at the same time, a so-called “slip” method may be used in which the fluctuation is extended until the disengaged state is displayed as the stop symbol. As another method of stopping in the off mode, for example, if a special symbol that is subject to forced stop was originally scheduled to be stopped in a stop mode in the out mode, the special symbol in the variable display is immediately A method of stopping by replacing with a stop symbol may be used. At this time, if the stop symbol that is scheduled to stop is in the winning mode, the stop symbol is changed to a stop symbol that is out of mode, and then the special symbol currently displayed in the variable display is immediately replaced with the changed stop symbol. You may let them. As a result of the change, the flag indicating that the game should be shifted to the special game is not turned on. In this way, even if a plurality of games are mixed, control is performed so that each game can be grasped individually, and in particular, the confusion that a plurality of special games are executed simultaneously is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  In the modification, the special figure adjustment unit 152 may perform the following process. In other words, the special symbol adjusting means 152 in the second adjustment mode has been suspended in a manner that the other symbol is in a hit state while one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is displayed in a variable manner. In this case, the variable display is continued as it is until the special game generated by the winning is finished for the special symbol being changed. In this case, the variation state is continued by temporarily stopping the progress of the timer that measures the variation time of the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193. For example, when the second special symbol 193 is changed and stopped in a winning manner during the variation display of the first special symbol 192, the variation display of the first special symbol 192 is continued until the second special game ends. Similarly, when the first special symbol 192 is stopped in a variation state during the variation display of the second special symbol 193, the variation display of the second special symbol 193 is continued until the first special game ends. In this way, even if a plurality of games are mixed, control is performed so that each game can be grasped individually, and in particular, the confusion that a plurality of special games are executed simultaneously is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  Thus, in the first adjustment mode, the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are variably displayed one by one, whereas in the second adjustment mode, the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are simultaneously displayed in parallel. Are displayed in a variable manner. Therefore, by switching the adjustment mode, it is possible to perform control such as temporarily increasing the total number of symbol fluctuations of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193, that is, the number of lotteries. Thereby, the gameability can be changed according to whether or not the game state is a specific game state.

  The operating condition holding unit 176 includes a first operating condition holding unit 178 and a second operating condition holding unit 180. The first operating condition holding means 178 holds a first operating condition that is a condition for shifting to the first special game. The second operating condition holding means 180 holds a second operating condition that is a condition for shifting to the second special game. The first operation condition and the second operation condition are referred to by the special game control means 120, and the special game is executed when any one of the operation conditions is established.

  The special game control means 120 includes a first special game control means 154 and a second special game control means 156. The first special game control means 154 determines that the first operating condition is established when the first special symbol 192 is stopped in a predetermined winning manner when the result of the winning / losing lottery by the first lottery means 126 is winning. The first special game is executed by opening the first grand prize opening 91. The second special game control means 156 determines that the second operation condition is satisfied when the second special symbol 193 is stopped in a predetermined hit mode when the result of the lottery by the second lottery means 128 is a win. Then, the second special game is executed by opening the second grand prize opening 92. The special game is a game in which the opening / closing operation of the first grand prize winning opening 91 or the second big winning prize opening 92 is continuously performed a plurality of times, and is composed of one or a plurality of unit games with one opening / closing operation as a unit. Is done. The unit game is repeated up to 15 times, for example, and the first grand prize port 91 or the second big prize port 92 is opened for about 30 seconds in one unit game. The special game control means 120 may determine the number of unit games and the opening time of the first special game according to the first special symbol 192 determined by the first symbol determination means 138. The special game control means 120 may determine the number of unit games and the opening time of the second special game according to a predetermined lottery value. The first special game control means 154 and the second special game control means 156 end the special game when the number of continuations of the unit game is exhausted.

  The specific game execution means 122 controls the normal game in the state of probability change and short time. The specific game executing means 122 determines whether or not to shift the gaming state after the special game to the probable change state when the first special symbol 192 determined by the first symbol determining means 138 is a hit mode. It is determined according to the type of symbol 192. That is, when the first special symbol 192 is a predetermined symbol, for example, “odd number”, it is determined that the gaming state after the special game is shifted to the probability changing state. In addition, the specific game execution means 122 determines whether or not to shift the game state after the special game to the probable change state when the second special symbol 193 determined by the second symbol determination means 140 is in a hit state. Determined by lottery. That is, when the second special symbol 193 is “◯”, a predetermined lottery is executed, and the transition to the probability change is determined according to the lottery value. The result of the determination according to the lottery value may be displayed on the screen of the effect display device 60, for example, or may not be displayed. The probability variation state is continued until the next jackpot is generated in principle, and during that time, the probability of the hit determination by the success / failure lottery means 112 is maintained at a high value. In addition, the specific game executing means 122 sets the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 to the predetermined number of times, for example, 100 times after either the first special game or the second special game ends. The game state is shifted to the short time state until it reaches. In the short time state, the symbol determining means 114 selects a variation pattern having a short variation time so that the variation display time of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is substantially shortened. The general drawing lottery means 136 refers to a general drawing determination table having a higher probability of winning than the normal probability during a short time. As a result, the ordinary electric accessory 65 of the third start port 67 is opened with a high probability during a short time.

  The opening / closing control means 124 controls the opening / closing of the ordinary electric accessory 65, the first grand prize winning port 91, and the second major prize winning port 92 at the third start opening 67. When the normal symbol is stopped in a specific manner, the opening / closing control means 124 sends an opening instruction to the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 76 to open the third start port 67. Further, the opening / closing control means 124 sends an opening instruction to the special prize opening solenoid 80 or the special prize opening solenoid 81 during the special game to open the first big prize opening 91 or the second big prize opening 92.

  The pattern storage unit 130 includes a first pattern storage unit 158 and a second pattern storage unit 160. The first pattern storage unit 158 and the second pattern storage unit 160 hold a plurality of variation pattern data as the variation pattern of the effect image including the decorative design.

  The effect determining unit 132 includes a first effect determining unit 162 and a second effect determining unit 164. The first effect determination unit 162 determines the stop symbol and the variation pattern of the first decorative symbol 190 in accordance with the stop symbol of the first special symbol 192 and the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192 as a result of the lottery by the first lottery unit 126. To decide. The first effect determination unit 162 holds a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine a stop symbol of the first decorative symbol 190 and a pattern table to be referred to in order to determine a variation pattern. The second effect determination means 164 determines the stop symbol and the variation pattern of the second decorative symbol 191 in accordance with the stop symbol of the second special symbol 193 and the variation pattern of the second special symbol 193 as a result of the lottery by the second lottery means 128. To decide. The second effect determination means 164 holds a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine the stop symbol of the second decorative symbol 191 and a pattern table to be referred to in order to determine the variation pattern.

  The stop symbols of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 are formed as a combination of three symbols. For example, when the determination result by the first lottery means 126 or the second lottery means 128 indicates a shift to a special game. A combination of three symbols such as “777” and “111” is selected. In this case, it is preferable that the same numbers as the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are selected as the numbers to be arranged as the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191. For example, when the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 is “3”, the first decorative symbol 190 or the second decorative symbol 191 becomes “333”. When the determination result by the first lottery means 126 or the second lottery means 128 indicates that the game does not shift to the special game, a combination that does not have three symbols such as “312” and “946” is selected. However, if the determination result is that the game does not shift to a special game, and a variation pattern of a special symbol indicating a loss with reach is selected, only one such as “191” or “727” is selected. Select a combination that does not have the same pattern. The first effect determining unit 162 and the second effect determining unit 164 send information about the stop symbols of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 and the variation pattern of the effect image to the effect display control unit 134.

  The variation pattern of the effect image defines a variation display mode of the effect image, that is, an effect process from the start of change of the effect image to the stop of change. The fluctuation pattern displays a pattern for displaying a normal out symbol, a pattern for displaying a symbol out of reach after reaching a big win if one more symbols are aligned, and a jackpot symbol through a reach state. When the pattern is included. In particular, the pattern that passes through the reach state includes patterns having various fluctuation times. Each variation pattern has a variation time for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the symbol variation is stopped when the variation time elapses. The effect determining means 132 selects the variation pattern of the effect image having the same variation time as that of the special symbol according to the variation pattern of the special symbol.

  The effect display control means 134 includes a first effect control means 168, a second effect control means 170, an effect adjustment means 172, and an area setting means 174. The effect display control means 134 further controls effect processing such as lighting and extinguishing of the game effect lamp 90 and sound output from the speaker 18. The first effect control means 168 variably displays the result of the first success / failure lottery by the first lottery means 126 in the first area 194 of the effect display device 60 as an effect image according to the selected fluctuation pattern data. The second effect control means 170 variably displays the result of the second success / failure lottery by the second lottery means 128 as an effect image in the second area 195 of the effect display device 60 according to the selected variation pattern data.

  The area setting means 174 sets the first area 194 and the second area 195 on the screen of the effect display device 60. The first area 194 and the second area 195 may be set so as to be arranged in the same screen or overlapped. In the present embodiment, a single display device is illustrated as the effect display device 60. However, in the modified example, a plurality of display devices may be combined. In that case, the first area 194 and the second area 195 may be set as separate display devices. The area setting means 174 sets the first area 194 closer to the first start opening 62 and the third start opening 67 than the second start opening 63 on the screen of the effect display device 60, and sets the second area 195 to the second start position 195. The position is set closer to the second start port 63 than the first start port 62 and the third start port 67. In the present embodiment, the first region 194 is provided on the left side in accordance with the first start port 62 and the third start port 67 provided on the left side and the second start port 63 provided on the right side. A second region 195 is provided on the right side. As a result, the first region 194 corresponds to the first start port 62 and the third start port 67, and the relationship between the second region 195 and the second start port 63 can be easily perceived by the player. Thus, even if a plurality of game abilities are mixed, by performing control so that the respective game abilities can be individually grasped, novel game abilities can be realized while avoiding the complexity of the games.

  The effect adjustment unit 172 sets the adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode in the normal state, and sets the adjustment mode to the second adjustment mode when the specific game is executed. The effect adjustment means 172 has different processing contents in the first adjustment mode and the second adjustment mode. Hereinafter, it demonstrates according to mode.

  The effect adjusting means 172 in the first adjustment mode restricts the progress of the other variable display while displaying one of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 in a variable manner. For example, when the variation display of the first decorative symbol 190 is started, the effect adjusting means 172 may wait for the variation display of the second decorative symbol 191 to start until the variation of the first decorative symbol 190 is stopped, The state may be continued until the variation of the first decorative symbol 190 is stopped while the second decorative symbol 191 is variably displayed. When the state where the second decorative symbol 191 is variably displayed is continued, for example, the variation state may be maintained by temporarily stopping the progress of a timer that measures the variation time of the second decorative symbol 191.

  Next, the processing contents of the effect adjustment unit 172 in the second adjustment mode will be described. The effect adjusting means 172 in the second adjustment mode causes the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 to be variably displayed simultaneously in a normal game. That is, in the normal game, even if one of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 is in the variable display mode, the other variable display start is not prevented. When one of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 is stopped in the hit state and the other variable display is not made, the effect adjusting unit 172 waits for the start of the variable display. In this case, while the special game is executed, the display of the variation of the decorative symbols is not newly started, and another special game does not occur at the same time, so that the player can concentrate on one special game. it can. In this way, even if a plurality of game abilities are mixed, by performing control so that the game abilities of each special game can be grasped individually, novel game abilities can be realized while avoiding the complexity of the games.

  The effect adjusting means 172 forces one of the symbols in the case that one of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 is variably displayed while the other symbol is variably stopped. Stop in an out-of-service manner. For example, when the second decorative symbol 191 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the first decorative symbol 190, the variation display of the first decorative symbol 190 is forcibly stopped in an outlier manner. Similarly, when the first decorative symbol 190 is stopped to change in a hit state while the second decorative symbol 191 is being displayed in a variable manner, the variable display of the second decorative symbol 191 is forcibly stopped in an outlier manner. In this way, even if a plurality of games are mixed, control is performed so that each game can be grasped individually, and in particular, the confusion that a plurality of special games are executed simultaneously is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  In the modification, the special figure adjustment unit 152 may perform the following process. In other words, the effect adjusting means 172, when one of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 is variably displayed, while the other symbol is stopped in a hit state, the decorative symbol being changed As for, the variable display is continued as it is until the special game generated by the winning is finished. In this case, the variation state is continued by temporarily stopping the progress of the timer that measures the variation time of the first decoration symbol 190 or the second decoration symbol 191. For example, when the second decorative symbol 191 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the first decorative symbol 190, the variation display of the first decorative symbol 190 is continued until the second special game ends. Similarly, when the first decorative symbol 190 is stopped in a variation manner during the variation display of the second decorative symbol 191, the variation display of the second decorative symbol 191 is continued until the first special game is completed. In this way, even if a plurality of games are mixed, control is performed so that each game can be grasped individually, and in particular, the confusion that a plurality of special games are executed simultaneously is avoided. As a result, it is possible to realize a novel gameplay while avoiding a complicated game.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a basic operation process in the pachinko gaming machine. First, when a game ball wins the first start port 62, the second start port 63, the third start port 67, the general winning port 72, the first big winning port 91, the second big winning port 92, or the like, If the game passes through the operating port 68 (S10), if it is not in a special game (N in S12), control processing of a normal game such as a winning lottery is executed (S14). If this is the case (Y of S12), the control process of the first special game or the second special game is executed (S16), and award ball payout according to various winnings in the processes from S10 to S16 is processed (S18).

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing in detail the winning process of S10 in FIG. When the first start port 62 or the third start port 67 is won (Y in S50), and the hold in the first holding means 144 does not exceed the upper limit (Y in S52), the state of the first adjustment mode If so (Y in S53), the special figure adjusting means 152 records the winning order to the first starting port 62 or the third starting port 67 (S54). If in the second adjustment mode (N in S53), the process in S54 is skipped. The first winning / failing lottery value is stored in the first holding means 144 (S56). If there is no winning at the first starting port 62 or the third starting port 67 at S50 (N at S50), the processing at S52 to S56 is skipped. In S52, if the first starting port 62 or the third starting port 67 has been won but its holding exceeds the upper limit of the first holding means 144 (N in S52), the processing of S54 and S56 is skipped. Next, in the case of winning the second start port 63 (Y in S58), and when the holding in the second holding means 146 does not exceed the upper limit (Y in S59), if in the first adjustment mode (Y in S60), the special figure adjusting means 152 records the winning order to the second starting port 63 (S61). If in the second adjustment mode (N in S60), the process of S61 is skipped. The second success / failure lottery value is stored in the second holding means 146 (S62). If there is no winning at the second starting port 63 at S58 (N of S58), the processing of S60 to S62 is skipped. In S60, if the second starting port 63 has been won but its holding exceeds the upper limit number of the second holding means 146 (N in S60), the processes of S61 and S62 are skipped. Next, when the game ball has passed to the operating port 68 (Y in S63), and the hold in the general figure holding means 147 does not exceed the upper limit (Y in S64), the normal figure holding means 147 is normally shown. A lottery value is stored (S65). If there is no game ball passing through the operation port 68 in S63 (N in S63), the processes in S64 and S65 are skipped. If the game ball has passed through the operating port 68 in S64 but its holding exceeds the upper limit number of the normal holding means 147 (N in S64), the process of S65 is skipped.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing in detail the normal game control process of S14 in FIG. First, when it is in the state of the first adjustment mode (Y in S100) and it is the variable display timing of the first special symbol 192 (Y in S102), the variable display of the first special symbol 192 and the first decorative symbol 190 is displayed. Process (S104), and if it is not the time of the variable display timing of the first special symbol 192 (N of S102), the variable display of the second special symbol 193 and the second decorative symbol 191 is processed (S106). Whether the timing of the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 is the variable display timing is a prize for the first start port 62 and the third start port 67 recorded by the special diagram adjusting means 152. And in accordance with the winning order to the second start port 63. Thus, only one of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is selectively displayed in a variable manner, and only one of the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 is selectively displayed in a variable manner. The

  Next, in the second adjustment mode (N in S100), the variable display of the first special symbol 192 and the first decorative symbol 190 is processed (S108), and the second special symbol 193 and the second decorative symbol 191 are processed. The fluctuation display is processed (S110). Thus, the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 can be displayed in a variable manner simultaneously, and the first decorative symbol 190 and the second decorative symbol 191 can also be displayed in a variable manner simultaneously. Note that the processing order of S108 and S110 is merely an order defined for convenience of explanation, and processing may be performed in any order. Finally, normal symbol variation display is processed (S112). However, the processing order of S112 is also just an order defined for convenience of explanation, and may be processed before S100.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing in detail the symbol variation process of S104, S106, and S112 in FIG. Since each symbol variation in S104, S106, and S112 has basically the same processing, these will be described together in one flow. Hereinafter, the process of S104 shows the variable display of the first special symbol 192 and the first decorative symbol 190, the process of S106 shows the variable display of the second special symbol 193 and the second decorative symbol 191, and the process of S112 Indicates normal symbol display. If the lottery value is being held in the hold control means 116 (Y in S30), if the symbol variation is not being displayed (N in S32), the success / failure lottery means 112 executes a success / failure determination process (S34). Variation display is started according to the variation pattern corresponding to the determination result (S36). If the lottery value is not held in S30 (N in S30), the processing from S32 to S36 is skipped, and if the symbol variation is being displayed in S32 (Y in S32), S34 and S36. Processing is skipped. Subsequently, if the symbol variation display has already been started (Y in S38), the symbol variation display is processed (S40), and when the symbol display stop timing is reached (Y in S42), the symbol variation being displayed is displayed. Is stopped (S44). When the symbol variation display is not started in S38 (N in S38), the processing from S40 to S44 is skipped. If the symbol display stop timing has not been reached in S42 (N in S42), the process of S44 is skipped.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing in detail the symbol variation process of S108 and S110 in FIG. Since each symbol variation in S108 and S110 basically has a common process, these will be described together in one flow. Hereinafter, the process of S108 shows the variable display of the first special symbol 192 and the first decorative symbol 190, and the process of S110 shows the variable display of the second special symbol 193 and the second decorative symbol 191. If the lottery value is being held in the hold control means 116 (Y in S130), if the symbol variation is not being displayed (N in S132), the success / failure lottery means 112 executes a success / failure determination process (S134). Variation display is started according to the variation pattern corresponding to the determination result (S136). If the lottery value is not held in S130 (N of S130), the processing from S132 to S136 is skipped, and if the symbol variation is being displayed in S132 (Y of S132), the processing of S134 and S136 Processing is skipped. Subsequently, if the symbol variation display has already been started (Y in S138), the symbol variation display is processed (S140), and when the predetermined variation time has passed and the symbol display stop timing is reached (S142). Y) Stops the symbol variation being displayed (S144). If the predetermined variation time has not yet elapsed (N in S142) and the other special symbol or decorative symbol has stopped in a winning manner (Y in S145), the displayed symbol variation is before the predetermined display time has elapsed. Nevertheless, it is forcibly stopped in the disengagement mode (S146). If other special symbols or decorative symbols are not stopped in the hit state in S145 (N in S145), the processing in S146 is skipped. When the symbol variation display is not started in S138 (N in S138), the processing from S140 to S144 is skipped.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing in detail the special game control process of S16 in FIG. If the special game being executed is the first special game (Y of S90), the control of the first special game is processed (S92), and if the special game being executed is not the first special game (N of S90) Then, the control of the second special game is processed (S94). In this way, only one of the first special game and the second special game is selectively executed.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing in detail the first special game in S92 and the second special game in S94 in FIG. Since each special game in S92 and S94 basically has the same processing, these will be described together in one flow. First, if the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92 has not been opened (N in S70), if the probability change is in progress (Y in S71), the specific game executing means 122 finishes executing the probability change. (S72), the special figure adjusting means 152 and the effect adjusting means 172 set the adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode (S73). If not surely changing (N of S71), the processing of S72 and S73 is skipped. Subsequently, the effect display control means 134 starts special game effect processing (S74), and the opening / closing control means 124 opens the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92 (S75). If the first big winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92 has been opened, S71 to S75 are skipped (Y in S70). When the predetermined opening time has elapsed since the first grand prize winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92 was opened (Y in S76), or the opening time has not elapsed (N in S76), the first When the number of balls entered into the grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92 has reached nine or more (Y in S78), the opening / closing control means 124 closes the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92. (S80). If the opening time has not elapsed (N in S76) and the number of balls entered into the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second big winning hole 92 has not reached nine or more (N in S78), S80 and later The process of S92 or S94 is terminated by skipping the process.

  If the number of rounds of the unit game has reached 15 after the closing of the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92 in S80 (Y in S82), the effect display control means 134 ends the effect process of the special game. (S84), the special game control means 120 ends the special game (S86). If the stop symbol that triggered the special game is a specific symbol (Y in S87), the specific game execution means 122 starts executing the probability change in both the first game and the second game (S88). ), The special figure adjusting means 152 and the effect adjusting means 172 set the adjustment mode to the second adjustment mode (S89), and the flow of S92 or S94 is ended. If the number of rounds has not reached 15 in S82 (N in S82), 1 is added to the number of rounds, and the flow in S92 or S94 is terminated (S90).

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing in detail the symbol variation process in the modification. This figure shows a modification of the process in FIG. 8, and shows in detail the symbol variation process in S108 and S110 in FIG. Since each symbol variation in S108 and S110 basically has a common process, these will be described together in one flow. Also, the processing from S130 to S140 in this figure is the same as the processing from S130 to S140 in FIG. After S140, when another special symbol or decorative symbol stops in a winning manner (Y in S141), a timer for measuring the variation time of the symbol variation being displayed is temporarily stopped (S142). If other special symbols or decorative symbols are not stopped in the hit state in S141 (N of S141), the process of S142 is skipped. If the variable time timer is paused (Y in S143) and after the special game is over (Y in S144), the pause of the timer is released (S145). When the predetermined variation time has elapsed and the symbol display stop timing is reached (Y in S146), the symbol variation being displayed is stopped (S147). If the symbol display stop timing has not been reached in S146 (N of S146), the process of S147 is skipped. When the symbol variation display is not started in S138 (N in S138), the processing from S140 to S147 is skipped.
