The pachinko gaming machine according to the invention (8) or (9), wherein the profit state of the player is set higher than when the player is in the open state.

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the present specification will be described. First, “Pitching” is a concept that encompasses not only winnings that a winning ball pays out, but also anything that may cause some profit to the player, including so-called “through-chuckers” and winning holes. . “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and examples thereof include numbers, characters, designs, and the like (for example, special designs). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Random number” of “first random number” to “third random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used for lottery (lottery by electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine. For example, with regard to the first random number and the second random number, so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers” associated with the transition of special games, variation modes of identification symbols (or "Variation mode determination random number" for determining the (variation time), "symbol determination random number" for determining the stop symbol, "decision symbol determination" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game As for the third random number, a “winning random number” related to the opening / closing of the variable member, a “design determining random number” for determining a stop symbol of the normal symbol, and the like can be cited. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Further, for example, one random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another random number (for example, a symbol determining random number). “Based on random number” includes not only the case where the variation content of the identification information and the stop identification information are determined directly from the random number, but also the case where the identification information is indirectly determined from matters determined directly from the random number ( For example, when determining the stop symbol directly from a random number and determining the variation content from the stop symbol, determining the special symbol directly from the random number and determining the decorative symbol from the special symbol). “Identification information fluctuation start condition” means, for example, that in the first adjustment mode (see the best mode of the invention), the identification information and other identification information are not changing or are not in a special game. In the mode (refer to the best mode of the invention), it means that the identification information is not changing or is not in a special game. “It is set so that the player's profit state is higher when the second variable prize opening is in the open state than when the first variable prize opening is in the open state.” The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the entrance to the second variable prize opening is larger than that of the first variable prize opening, or the open time of the second variable prize opening is longer than that of the first variable prize opening, For example, the number of unit games in which the second variable prize opening is in an open state is greater than that of the first variable prize opening (including combinations thereof). The “attribute” refers to a classification based on a profit state that can be given to a player, for example, per probability fluctuation, per time reduction, or per ordinary game.

  According to the present invention (1), the special mode is based on whether the first identification information and the second identification information are stopped, and / or based on the type of the predetermined mode. It is possible to expand the range of playability without incurring complication of playability, because it is determined whether the first variable winning opening or the second variable prize opening is opened. As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to enhance the interest of the game in a model having a plurality of conventional first type functions.

  According to the present invention (2), in addition to the above-described effect, in a special game based on a ball entering one of the starting ports, either the first variable winning port or the second variable winning port can be open. At the same time, in the special game based on the entrance to the other start opening, since only the second variable winning opening is opened, the plurality of starting openings and the plurality of variable winning openings are organic. As a result, the game content will be integrated and only the second variable prize opening will be open during special games based on the entrance to the second starting hole. There is an effect that it is possible to avoid feeling impartation and game complexity as much as possible.

  According to the present invention (3), in addition to the above-described effects, when the predetermined mode is stopped, the first identification information display unit and the first variable winning opening, the second identification information display unit and the second variable winning opening, Since the identification information display unit in which the predetermined mode is stopped and the variable winning opening are configured to correspond to 1: 1, there is an effect that the complexity of the game can be avoided.

  According to the present invention (4), in addition to the above-described effect, the variable winning a prize opening is determined according to the type of the predetermined mode regardless of the first identification information and the second identification information. This has the effect that the complexity of the game can be avoided.

  According to the present invention (5), in addition to the above-described effects, when the stop identification information is in a specific predetermined mode, the special game state is shifted to the specific game state after the special game based on the predetermined mode. As a result that at least two different profit states can be constructed, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  According to the present invention (6), in addition to the above-described effect, since it is configured to include means for assisting winning a prize at the second starting port under a predetermined condition, it becomes possible to give a wider game content. There is an effect.

  According to the present invention (7), in addition to the above effects, the first variable prize opening and the second variable prize opening are configured to be different from each other. As a result, at least two profit states can be constructed. The game content can be widened.

  According to the present invention (8), in addition to the above-described effect, in the normal game, the second starting opening is configured to make it difficult to enter the ball, so the player sets the firing strength aiming at the first starting opening. At the same time, when the second mode is prepared as stop identification information of the first identification information during normal game, (a) in order to enter the game ball into the second variable winning opening at the time of the special game, and (b) In order to allow the game balls to enter the third start port and the second start port at the time of the specific game after the special game is finished, and (c) the third identification information as stop identification information of the second identification information during the specific game. When the aspect or the fourth aspect is prepared, the game ball is played with a launch strength different from the launch strength in the normal game in order to enter the game ball into the second variable prize opening during the special game. Will be fired to the area. As a result, when the second mode is arranged as stop identification information of the first identification information during the normal game, all the benefits resulting from the fact that the second mode is arranged (that the second mode is arranged) Based on the direct benefit of the special game based on the game and the specific game after the special game is completed, and the indirect benefit of the special game generated as a result of the specific game) As a result, the player is relieved from the hassle of having to change the firing strength each time the game state changes, resulting in a reduction in the player's feeling of fatigue and complication of the game. There is an effect that it can be eliminated.

  According to the present invention (9), in addition to the above-described effects, the player can be reduced in fatigue feeling and the game can be complicated only by adopting a very simple configuration of changing the arrangement of the entrances in the game area. As a result, the gaming machine manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  According to the present invention (10), in addition to the effects described above, since the profit states of the first variable winning opening and the second variable winning opening are configured to be different, at least two profit states can be constructed. There is an effect that it becomes possible to enhance the interest of the. In particular, the combination with the present invention (2) has an effect that at least four different profit states can be constructed.

  The best mode of the present invention will be described below. Here, the first best mode is which special symbol display unit (first special symbol display unit / second special symbol display unit) is stopped in a predetermined mode, and what predetermined mode This is a mode in which a big winning opening that is opened during a special game is determined based on whether or not it has been stopped (normal hit, per probability fluctuation) {corresponding to the above invention (2)}. Next, the second best mode is an open state during a special game based only on which special symbol display part (first special symbol display part / second special symbol display part) the predetermined mode is stopped. This is a form for determining a big prize opening {equivalent to the above invention (3)}. And, the third best mode is to determine what kind of predetermined mode (regardless of which special symbol display part (first special symbol display part / second special symbol display part) is stopped in a predetermined mode ( This is a mode in which a big winning opening that is opened during a special game is determined based only on whether or not it is stopped at a normal rate or per probability change {corresponding to the above invention (4)}.

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the adjustment mode switching process according to the subroutine of step 1700 in FIG. First, in step 1702, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the first gaming state temporary storage unit 1191 and the second gaming state temporary storage unit 1192, thereby confirming the current gaming state and switching condition satisfaction determination unit. Based on the confirmation information, 1232 determines whether the switching condition is satisfied. In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 refers to the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233, and determines whether or not the adjustment mode to be switched is the first adjustment mode. In the case of Yes in step 1704, in step 1705, the gaming state confirmation means 1210 refers to the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151 a-1 and the second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152 a-1, so that the switching timing ( It is determined whether or not any one of the symbol variations has stopped). In the case of Yes in step 1705, in step 1706, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 rewrites the adjustment mode stored in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage unit 1233 to the first adjustment mode, thereby adjusting the adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode. Switch to mode. In step 1708, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131 a and the second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132 a, thereby storing the stored number information. After the acquisition, the adjustment mode control means 1230 sets the link release order based on the number-of-holds information (for example, sets it in a mechanically alternately allocated manner), and proceeds to the next processing (step 100). For example, when there are four reserved balls in the first special figure hold information temporary storage means 1131a and there are two hold balls in the second special figure hold information temporary storage means 1132a, the first symbol variation → the second symbol variation → First symbol variation → Second symbol variation → First symbol variation → First symbol variation, etc. First, when the one hold is canceled and the other hold is lost, the order of releasing the other hold is set.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1704, in step 1710, the adjustment mode control means 1230 rewrites the adjustment mode stored in the adjustment mode related information temporary storage means 1233 to the second adjustment mode, thereby changing the adjustment mode to the first adjustment mode. Switch to 2 adjustment mode. In step 1712, the adjustment mode control unit 1230 resets the link release order stored in the hold order temporary storage unit 1211, and proceeds to the next process (step 100). It should be noted that the process proceeds to the next process (step 100) also in the case of No in steps 1702 and 1705.

  Next, FIG. 12 shows the first special symbol display process (second special display) in the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo-normal game state) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (1) {step 1400 (2)} in FIG. It is a flowchart of a symbol display process. First, in step 1402, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied.

  Here, in addition to the fact that the variation start condition is not during special game or symbol variation, in the adjustment mode (first adjustment mode), the symbol variation start permission from the adjustment mode control means 1230 may be down. It becomes a condition. That is, the adjustment mode control means 1230 refers to the hold order temporary storage means 1211 to check whether the current hold release is related to the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and based on the confirmation information.

In step 1416, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) refers to each set lottery table, and game content determination random numbers (for example, winning random numbers and special symbol determination random numbers). The stop symbol related to the special symbol is determined based on the game, and the variation mode of the special symbol is determined based on the game content determination random number (for example, the winning random number and the variation mode determination random number). 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored. In step 1417, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. In the case of Yes in step 1417, in step 1418, the game control means 1100 turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). On the other hand, if No at step 1417, step 1418 is skipped. Next, in step 1419, the information transmission unit 1300 displays the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the special symbol determined in step 1416 and the current game state in the effect display control unit 2320. To the side. Next, in step 1420, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time (the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1416) to the first special figure. It is set in the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). In step 1422, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started in accordance with the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1446, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). In step 1434, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434, in step 1436, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1438, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) displays the first special symbol display unit 2131 (first special symbol display device 2130). The special symbol variation display on the second special figure display unit 2231) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as a symbol. Next, in step 1440, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). . In step 1442, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151 a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152 a) is changed to a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151 a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152 a- 1) is reset. Next, at step 1450, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process at step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402, in step 1444, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in step 1444, the process proceeds to step 1434. If No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 shows the first special symbol display process (second) in the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation gaming state) according to the subroutine of step 1400 (3) {step 1400 (4)} in FIG. It is a flowchart of a special symbol display process. First, in step 1402A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) determines whether or not a variation start condition is satisfied.

  Here, the change start condition is only that the special game is not being played and that the first special symbol (second special symbol) is not changing with respect to the start of change of the first special symbol (second special symbol). That is, unlike the first adjustment mode, when the first special symbol (second special symbol) starts to change, the fact that the second special symbol (first special symbol) is changing does not constitute a variable start restriction condition.

  Next, in the case of Yes in step 1402A, in step 1404A, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) is the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). , It is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 1404A, in step 1406A, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first special figure probability variation gaming state lottery table 1141a-2 (first 2 special figure probability variation gaming state lottery table 1142a-2) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1404A, in step 1408A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) sets the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). Referring to it, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1408A, in step 1410A, the first special figure content determination means 1141 (second special figure content determination means 1142) serves as a reference table for the first special figure time reduction gaming state lottery table 1141a-3 (first 2 Special drawing time reduction gaming state lottery table 1142a-3) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1414A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1408A, in step 1412A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) uses the first special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1141a-1 ( The second special figure normal gaming state lottery table 1142a-1) is set, and the process proceeds to Step 1414A.

  Next, in step 1414A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) stores the first special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1131a (second special figure reservation information temporary storage unit 1132a). The game content determination random number related to the current symbol variation stored temporarily is read out. In step 1416A, the first special figure content determination unit 1141 (second special figure content determination unit 1142) refers to each set lottery table, and game content determination random numbers (for example, winning random numbers and special symbol determination random numbers). The stop symbol related to the special symbol is determined based on the game, and the variation mode of the special symbol is determined based on the game content determination random number (for example, the winning random number and the variation mode determination random number). 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is temporarily stored. In step 1417A, the game control means 1100 determines whether or not the lottery result is a hit. In the case of Yes in step 1417A, in step 1418A, the game control unit 1100 turns on the winning flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). On the other hand, if step 1417A is No, step 1418A is skipped. Next, in step 1419A, the information transmitting unit 1300 displays the symbol information (stop symbol information, stop symbol attribute information, variation mode information, etc.) related to the special symbol determined in step 1416A and the current gaming state. To the side. Next, in step 1420A, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) sets the predetermined time (the fluctuation time according to the fluctuation mode determined in step 1416A) to the first special figure. It is set to the fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, in step 1422A, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) performs the first special symbol display unit 2131 (first special symbol display device 2230) of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230). 2 special figure display section 2231), the special symbol fluctuation display is started in accordance with the fluctuation mode stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b). Next, in step 1446A, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns on the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). .

  Here, before detailed description of the following processing, an outline of timer suspension processing, which is a feature of the present type A in the second adjustment mode, will be described. In the process, the first (second) special game is executed during the second (first) special game by temporarily stopping the timer related to the first (second) special symbol fluctuation during the second (first) special game. 2) Prevent the transition to special games. That is, during execution of the second (first) special game, the first (second) special symbol continues to fluctuate.

  Therefore, returning to the flowchart, in step 1424A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, so that the current special game related flag (for example, special game transition) It is confirmed whether or not the permission flag, special game content determination flag, and special game execution flag are off, that is, whether or not the second (first) special game is currently being executed.

  In the case of Yes in step 1424A, in step 1426A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1), thereby Check if the special symbol variation timer is stopped. In the case of Yes in step 1426A, in step 1428A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stop means 1222b is in the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1 which has been paused). ) Then, in step 1429A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol variation restart signal to the effect display control unit 2320 side, and proceeds to step 1434A.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424A, in step 1430A, the gaming state confirmation unit 1210 further refers to the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the special symbol variation timer is currently operating. In the case of Yes in step 1430A, in step 1432A, the special figure fluctuation timer temporary stopping means 1222b temporarily activates the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1) in operation. Stop. Then, in step 1433A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a symbol change temporary stop signal to the effect display control unit 2320 side, and proceeds to step 1434A. Note that the process also proceeds to step 1434A even in the case of No in step 1426A and step 1430A.

  Next, in step 1434A, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. Here, in the case of No in step 1434A, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1434A, in step 1436A, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a command indicating that the predetermined time has been reached to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 1438A, the first special symbol control unit 1151 (second special symbol control unit 1152) displays the first special symbol display unit 2131 (first special symbol display device 2130). The special symbol variation display on the second special figure display unit 2231) is stopped, and the stop symbol stored in the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b (second special figure information temporary storage means 1192b) is confirmed and stopped. Display control as a symbol. Next, in step 1440A, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) turns off the changing flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). . Then, in step 1442A, the first special figure fluctuation time management means 1151a (second special figure fluctuation time management means 1152a) makes a first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-). 1) is reset. Next, in step 1450A, main controller 1000 executes a specific game end determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  In the case of No in step 1402A, in step 1444A, the first special figure control means 1151 (second special figure control means 1152) sets the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (second flag temporary storage means 1192a). It is determined whether or not the changing flag is on. If Yes in Step 1444A, the process proceeds to Step 1424A, and if No, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in Step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of specific game end determination according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (3) A {steps 1450 (2) and (4) A} in FIGS. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control means 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a and determines whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1460, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the time reduction flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, and the next process The process proceeds to (Special Game Operating Condition Determination Process 1500). In addition, also when it is No by step 1452 and step 1456, it transfers to the following process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determining means 1171 causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display unit 2231) of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230). It is determined whether or not the special symbol displayed above has stopped in a predetermined manner. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506 and step 1508, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (first The winning flag in the two-flag temporary storage means 1192a) is turned off. Next, in steps 1552 and 1554, the specific game control unit 1180 temporarily turns off the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a. At the same time, the time reduction number counter 1181a is reset (time reduction number counter value = 0), and the process proceeds to the next process (the electric-chu drive determination process in step 1200). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the electric drive driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the electric chewing-opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the normal chart control means 1153 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the general figure content determining unit 1143 accesses the general figure holding information temporary storage unit 1133a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the routine contents determination means 1143 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game is currently being executed (special game execution flag is on). In the case of Yes in step 1208, in step 1210, the general contents determination unit 1143 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1190 to determine whether or not the current game state is in the easy release state (time reduction flag is on). . In the case of Yes in step 1210, in FIG. 1212, in the step 1212, the general drawing content determination means 1143 sets the drawing time reduction lottery table 1143a-2, whereas in the case of No in step 1210, in the step 1214, The general map content determining means 1143 sets the general map lottery table 1143a-1. It should be noted that the drawing time reduction lottery table 1143a-2 is set to have a higher win probability (probability of selecting the third predetermined mode) than the normal drawing lottery table 1143a-1 (for example, The former winning probability is 9/10 and the latter winning probability is 1/10). In step 1216, the general symbol content determination means 1143 determines a stop symbol based on the normal symbol random number based on the reserved ball. Next, in step 1218, the usual figure fluctuation time management means 1153a sets the usual figure fluctuation management timer 1153a-1 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds in the case of a short-time game, in the case of a normal game) based on the set table. Is set to 30 seconds). Then, in step 1220, the general symbol control means 1153 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the general-purpose holding means 1133 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1133 a after subtracting 1 from the holding ball related to the normal symbol, and the normal-picture control means. 1153 starts normal symbol variation display on the general diagram display unit 2421 after starting the common diagram variation management timer 1153a-1. Next, in step 1224, the normal time fluctuation time management unit 1153a refers to the normal time fluctuation management timer 1153a-1 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the universal map control unit 1153 finalizes and displays the stop symbol determined by the universal map content determination unit 1143 in the step 1216 on the universal map display unit 2421. In step 1228, the normal symbol control means 1153 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1230, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning” (third predetermined mode). In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 sets the opening timer 1162 to a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds for a short-time game, 0 for a normal game) based on the set table. .5 seconds) set. Next, in step 1234, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric chew-opening flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1236, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 opens the electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure starting port 2110. Next, in step 1238, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the opening timer 1162, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in Step 1238, in Steps 1240 and 1242, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 closes the electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure starting port 2110 and at the same time the electric game related information temporary storage means 1193a. The Chu-opening flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  If No in Step 1202, the process proceeds to Step 1238. If No in Step 1204, the process proceeds to Step 1224. If No in Step 1208, the process proceeds to Step 1214, and Steps 1206, 1224, In the case of No in step 1230 and step 1238, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

First, in step 50, the special game control means 1170 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 50, in step 52, the special game content determination unit 1172 refers to the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b and determines whether or not the stop symbol of the first special symbol is the first predetermined mode. judge. In the case of Yes in step 52, in step 54, the special game content determination means 1172 sets the first big prize opening as the big prize opening to be opened in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and n as the number of rounds. ₁ (for example, 7 rounds) is set, and the process proceeds to Step 66. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 52, in step 56, the special game content determination unit 1172 refers to the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b, and whether or not the stop symbol of the first special symbol is the second predetermined mode. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 56, in step 58, the special game content determination means 1172 sets the second big prize opening as the big prize opening to be opened in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and n as the number of rounds. ₂ (for example, 15 rounds) is set, and the process proceeds to step 66. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 56, in step 60, the special game content determination unit 1172 refers to the second special symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b, and whether or not the stop symbol of the second special symbol is the third predetermined mode. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in Step 60, in Step 62, the special game content determination means 1172 sets the second big prize opening as the special prize opening to be opened in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and n as the number of rounds. ₁ (for example, 7 rounds) is set, and the process proceeds to Step 66. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 60, that is, when the second special symbol has been stopped in the fourth predetermined mode, the special game content determining means 1172 is the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 in step 64. In the middle, the second big prize opening is set as the big prize opening to be opened, and n ₂ (for example, 15 rounds) is set as the number of rounds. In step 66 and step 68, the special game control means 1170 accesses the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, turns off the special game transition permission flag and turns on the special game content determination flag, and will be described later. After the game execution process (step 2100) is executed, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000). Even in the case of No in step 50, the process proceeds to a special game execution process (step 2100) described later.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the special game execution process according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game content determination flag is on. If YES in step 2102, in step 2104, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 2106 and step 2108, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game content determination flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag, and the process proceeds to step 2112. . On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2102, in step 2110, the special game execution means 1173 determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 2110, the process proceeds to step 2112. In the case of No in step 2110, the special game execution means 1173 determines that the special game permission is not granted, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 2112, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2112, that is, when the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to step 2123 without performing the processes of steps 2114 to 2122 described in detail below. On the other hand, if No in step 2112, that is, if it is just before the start of the round, first, in step 2114, the special game execution means 1173 clears the special game timer 1174 a to zero and sets a predetermined value (for example, 30 seconds). To do. Next, in step 2116, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. In step 2118, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time the rounds are repeated thereafter. Next, in step 2120, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 2122, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and confirms which of the first big prize opening 2120 and the second big prize opening 2220 is to be opened. The first electric winning combination 2122 or the second electric winning combination 2222 of the first big winning opening 2120 or the second big winning opening 2220 is driven to open the first big winning opening 2120 or the second big winning opening 2220, and step 2123.

  Next, in step 2123, the information transmission means 1300 transmits the current game state information (for example, the current number of rounds, the number of winning game balls, etc.) to the effect display control means 2320 side. In step 2124, the special game execution unit 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not a predetermined ball (for example, 10 balls) has been won in the round. If Yes in step 2124, the process proceeds to step 2128. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2124, in step 2126, the special game executing means 1173 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the special game timer 1174a. Also in the case of Yes in step 2126, the process proceeds to step 2128, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, in step 2128, the special game executing means 1173 stops driving the first electric combination 2122 or the second electric combination 2222 in the first big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220, and the first The big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220 is closed. In step 2130, the special game executing means 1173 resets the special game timer 1174a. Next, in step 2132, the special game execution unit 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 2134, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the round is the final round (for example, when the first special symbol hits in the first mode and the second round 7 rounds if the special symbol hits in the third mode, 15 rounds if the first special symbol hits in the second mode and the second special symbol hits in the fourth mode) Determine. In the case of Yes in step 2134, in step 2136, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 2138, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect display control means 2320 side. In step 1650, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000). In the case of No in step 2134, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

It is determined whether or not the first special symbol (second special symbol) stopped on the display unit 2231) is per probability variation. In the case of Yes in step 1656, in step 1658 and step 1660, the specific game control unit 1180 turns on the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, respectively. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000). The reason for setting the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) on the first game side and the second game side is to ensure that the first game and the second game are in the same game state. It is. That is, in the case where the first game and the second game are in the normal game state, when the first game side is near the probability variation, the second game side also enters the probability variation game state after the special game ends.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1656, in step 1662, the specific game control means 1180 is the special symbol stopped on the first special figure display unit 2131 (second special figure display unit 2231) per time reduction variation? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1662, in step 1664, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the time reduction flags in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, respectively. Next, in step 1666, the specific game control means 1180 sets a predetermined value (for example, 100) as the time-count counter value in the time-count counter 1181a, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000). Even in the case of No in step 1562, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 20 to 23, a control process executed on the sub-board side will be described.

In the case of Yes in step 6718A, in steps 6720A and 6722A, the first decorative symbol display control means 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control means 2323a-2) is in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2323c. The “design variation pause flag” is turned on, and the first decorative design (second decorative design) being varied is temporarily suspended (swaying variation) on the effect display device 2310. In step 6724A, the first decorative symbol display control unit 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control unit 2323a-2) refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a and changes the symbol from the main controller 1000 side. It is determined whether or not a restart signal is received. In the case of Yes in step 6724A, in steps 6726A and 6728A, the first decorative symbol display control means 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control means 2323a-2) is in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2323c. The “design variation pause flag” is turned off, and the variation of the first decorative symbol (second decorative symbol) that has been suspended (sway variation) is resumed.

  In step 6730A, the first decorative symbol display control means 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control means 2323a-2) refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a and confirms the display command from the main controller 1000 side. Is received. In the case of Yes in step 6730A, in step 6732A, the first decorative symbol display control unit 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control unit 2323a-2) displays the first decorative symbol information area of the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2323c. The stop symbol of the first decorative symbol (second decorative symbol) is confirmed and displayed according to the determined content (stop symbol) temporarily stored in the (second decorative symbol information area). In step 6734A, the first decorative symbol display control means 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control means 2323a-2) sets the “design changing flag” in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2323c. Turn off and proceed to the next process (special game display control process 6900).

  In the case of No in Step 6702A, the process proceeds to Step 6716A. In the case of No in Step 6704A and Step 6730A, the process proceeds to the next process (special game display control process 6900), and in the case of No in Step 6716A. Shifts to step 6724A, and shifts to step 6730A if No in step 6718A and step 6724A.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the special game display control processing according to the subroutine of step 6900 in FIG. First, in step 6902, the display control means 2323 refers to the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2323c and determines whether or not the “special game flag” is off. In the case of Yes in step 6902, in step 6904, the display control means 2323 refers to the main side information temporary storage means 2321a and determines whether or not a special game start signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6904, in step 6906 and step 6908, the display control means 2323 turns on the “special game flag” in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2323c and on the effect display device 2310. To display the jackpot start. In step 6910, the display control means 2323 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 2123. In step 6912, the display control unit 2323 refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main control device 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6912, in step 6914, the display control means 2323 performs a jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6916, the display control means 2323 turns off the “special gaming flag” in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means 2323c, and performs the next process {first decorative symbol display content determination process 6200 (1 )}. If NO in step 6902, the process proceeds to step 6910. If NO in step 6904 and step 6912, the process proceeds to the next process {first decorative symbol display content determination process 6200 (1)}.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode (type A) will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the timing chart of FIG. 24 shows how the first symbol and the second symbol fluctuate in the first adjustment mode (series: pseudo-normal game state). In this mode, only one of the symbols changes according to the winning order of the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port. Specifically, in this example, the winning order to the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port is “1-1” → “1-2” → “2-1” → “1-3”. “→“ 2-2 ”→“ 2-3 ”→“ 1-4 ”→“ 1-5 ”. Therefore, the first symbol and the second symbol vary in the order.

  Next, the timing chart of FIG. 25 shows how the first symbol and the second symbol fluctuate in the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation gaming state). In this mode, the first symbol and the second symbol are allowed to fluctuate simultaneously. Specifically, the first symbol and the second symbol change in the order of winning in the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port. Here, as a result of the fluctuation of “2-1” in the second symbol, the game shifts to a special game. In response to this, when “2-1” in the second symbol stops at the winning symbol, the variation in “1-3” in the first symbol that has passed Ta since the start of the variation After the special game is finished, the pause is canceled and the fluctuation of the remaining time Tb of “1-3” is executed. In this example, “1-3” of the first symbol is internally lost, but if “1-3” of the first symbol is elected, However, the hit state is maintained internally. And after "1-4" of the 1st symbol stops, it shifts to a special game.

  Next, the position of the firing handle 116 and the trajectory of the launched game ball at each stage will be described with reference to FIGS. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode has a first special figure start port 2210 installed on the left side of the game area and a second set installed on the right side of the game area as start ports related to the special game transition. And a special drawing start port 2110. Here, the second special figure starting port 2110 can enter the ball only when the electric accessory 2112 provided at the upper portion of the starting port is in an open state, but the electric accessory 2112 is almost in an open state during normal gaming. As a result, in a normal game, it is not possible to expect a game ball to enter the second special figure starting port 2110. On the other hand, the entrance of the game ball in the first special figure starting port 2210 is configured to be possible to enter at any time regardless of the game state. Therefore, in the normal game, as shown in FIG. 4, the player sets the launch handle 116 weakly so that the game ball flows down to the left side of the game area where the first special figure starting port 2210 is arranged. Note that, as shown in FIG. 4, even if it is a weak hit, the game ball may be directed to the right side of the game area by colliding with a nail or the like. Even in such a case, the game ball is restricted from moving to the right side of the game area as a result of contacting or colliding with the shielding member 194.

  Under such circumstances, the case where the first special symbol stops in a jackpot symbol (predetermined mode) will be described. First, the case where the first special symbol is stopped in the “first predetermined mode” (for example, even numbers such as 2, 4, and 6) will be described. The first big prize opening 2120 provided on the left side of the game area. Therefore, the player can easily win the first big prize opening 2120 by maintaining the same strength as the firing strength in the normal game. At this time, as described above, the presence of the shielding member 194 restricts the moved game ball from moving to the right side of the game area. As a result, the game ball efficiently wins the first big prize opening 2120. , Useless game balls are reduced as much as possible. In this way, after the special game has been completed a predetermined number of times (for example, 7 rounds), the game returns to the normal game in which weakening is desired again. In this way, the player can consistently maintain the weakness in the sequence of normal game → special game → normal game (ie, it is not necessary to change the firing strength of the firing handle 116 at all).

  Next, a case where the first special symbol stops at another jackpot symbol (second predetermined mode) will be described. First, the case where the first special symbol stops in the “second predetermined mode” (for example, odd numbers such as 1, 3, 5, and 7) will be explained. The mouth is a second grand prize opening 2220 provided on the right side of the game area. Therefore, the player can easily win the second big prize opening 2220 by changing (strength hitting) the firing strength (weak hitting) at the time of the normal game when the jackpot is determined. At this time, as described above, the presence of the shielding member 194 restricts the moved game ball from moving to the left side of the game area. As a result, the game ball efficiently wins the second big prize opening 2220. , Useless game balls are reduced as much as possible. Then, after the special game ends, the game shifts to a specific game (probability variation game state). Here, in the specific game, the probability of opening the electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure starting port 2110 is remarkably increased based on the entrance of the game ball to the general entrance entrance 2410. Subsequently, the game ball will continue to be fired to the right area of the game area (strong hit). In the specific game, the probability variation state and the time shortening game state (and the open extension state) described above are maintained, so that the transition frequency of the special game is increased as compared with the normal game state. Here, when the game state shifts to the special game state based on the game ball entering the second grand prize opening 2220, the special game based on the fact that the second special symbol stops at the third predetermined symbol (number of rounds = 7). Even in the special game (number of rounds = 15) based on stopping in the fourth predetermined mode, the second big prize opening 2220 is in the open state. In other words, even when the state (specific game state) is shifted to the special game, the player continues to fire the game ball to the right area of the game area (strengthening). And even after the special game is over, if the second special symbol is stopped in the third predetermined mode, the time-reducing game (and the game extended and released) is continuously executed. Even if the firing strength (strong hit) to the right side of the area is maintained and the second special symbol is stopped in the fourth predetermined mode, the probability variation game is continuously executed. The firing strength to the right (strong strike) is maintained. That is, in the normal gaming state, after the first special symbol is arranged in the second predetermined mode, the player consistently performs strong beating until the specific game is completely completed through the special game or the specific game. Can be maintained (ie, there is no need to change the firing strength of the firing handle 116).

  According to this best mode, the special mode is stopped based on whether the first identification information or the second identification information is stopped and / or based on the type of the predetermined mode. Since it is determined so that one of the variable prize winning opening and the second variable winning prize opening is opened, it becomes possible to widen the range of game play without causing complexity of the game play. As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to enhance the interest of the game in a model having a plurality of conventional first type functions.

  Furthermore, in the case of a special game based on a ball entering one of the starting ports, either the first variable winning port or the second variable winning port can be opened, and based on the ball entering the other starting port. In the case of a special game, only the second variable prize opening is configured to be in an open state, so that the game contents can be integrated by organically associating a plurality of start openings and a plurality of variable prize openings. At the same time, only the second variable prize opening is open in the case of a special game based on entering the second starting hole, so that it can avoid giving the player a feeling of fatigue and making the game as complex as possible. There is an effect.

  Further, when the stop identification information is in a specific predetermined mode, it is configured to shift to the specific game state after the special game based on the predetermined mode, and the first variable winning port and the second variable winning port Since it is configured to make the profit states of the game different, at least three different profit states can be constructed. As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, since the second starting port is configured so that it is difficult to enter during normal gaming, the player sets the firing strength aiming at the first starting port and stops the first identification information during normal gaming. When the second mode is provided as identification information, (a) to enter a game ball into the second variable prize opening at the time of the special game, and (b) third start at the time of the specific game after the special game is finished. In order to make the game ball enter the mouth and the second start port, and (c) when the third mode or the fourth mode is arranged as stop identification information of the second identification information during the specific game, In order to cause the game ball to enter the second variable prize opening during the special game, the game ball is fired to the game area with a launch strength different from the launch strength during the normal game. As a result, when the second mode is arranged as stop identification information of the first identification information during the normal game, all the benefits resulting from the fact that the second mode is arranged (that the second mode is arranged) Based on the direct benefit of the special game based on the game and the specific game after the special game is completed, and the indirect benefit of the special game generated as a result of the specific game) As a result, the player is relieved from the hassle of having to change the firing strength each time the game state changes, resulting in a reduction in the player's feeling of fatigue and complication of the game. There is an effect that it can be eliminated.

  Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine by reducing the player's feeling of fatigue and reducing the complexity of the game only by adopting an extremely simple configuration of changing the arrangement of each entrance in the gaming area. There is an effect.

  Next, the B type (losing stop symbol forced stop type) of the best mode will be described. Here, when the first (second) special symbol is changing during execution of the second (first) special game, the type is forced to stop the first (second) special symbol with the stop-losing symbol. By stopping the game, the transition to the first (second) special game is prevented.

  First, functional features of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. When the pachinko gaming machine according to type B shifts to a special game based on the result of one of the first game and the second game instead of the special figure variation timer temporary stop means 1222b of type A, the special game related to the other game It is characterized by having a lost symbol forced replacement means 1222c for forcibly changing the symbol to a lost symbol.

  Next, processing characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine according to type B will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Here, FIG. 26 is a flowchart relating to the processing on the main side, and more specifically, the first special symbol display processing (second special display) relating to the subroutine of step 1400 (3) {1400 (4)} in FIG. It is a flowchart of a symbol display process. Note that most of them are the same as those in FIG. 13, and are different only in that Steps 1424B to 1431B exist. Therefore, only the differences will be described. After the special symbol starts to change in step 1422B, in step 1424B, the game state confirmation unit 1210 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and the special game related flag (for example, It is determined whether or not a special game transition permission flag, a special game content determination flag, and a special game execution flag are off, that is, whether or not a special game is currently being executed. If YES in step 1424B, the process proceeds to step 1434B without performing the loss stop symbol forced stop processing according to this flow. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1424B, in step 1425B, first, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a confirmation display command to the effect display control unit 2320 side to forcibly stop with a lost symbol. Next, in step 1427B, the lost symbol forced replacement unit 1222c forces the stop symbol stored in the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b (second special symbol information temporary storage unit 1192b) to the lost stop symbol. And the operation avoidance execution unit 1222 clears the first special figure fluctuation management timer 1151a-1 (second special figure fluctuation management timer 1152a-1) to zero. Thereby, the set loss stop symbol is fixedly displayed on the first special figure display unit 2131 (second special figure display unit 2231). In step 1429B, the operation avoidance control unit 1220 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1429B, in step 1431B, the operation avoidance control unit 1220 turns off the hit flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a). As a result, not only the losing symbol of the loss is stopped, but also the winning right is lost internally.

  In addition, the type B is configured such that when the forced loss stop condition is satisfied, the changing symbol is immediately replaced by the loss stop symbol, but the change is extended until the loss mode is displayed as the stop symbol. A so-called “slip” method may be used.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart relating to the sub-side processing, and more specifically, the first decorative symbol display control process and the first step related to the subroutines of step 6100 (1) and step 6100 (2) in FIG. It is a flowchart of 2 decoration design display control processing. Most of the steps are the same as those in FIG. 22, and only the processing between step 6716B to step 6118B is different. Therefore, only the difference will be described. In step 6716B, the first decorative symbol display control means 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control means 2323a-2) refers to the main-side information temporary storage means 2321a, and controls the main controller. It is determined whether or not a signal to force stop is received from the 1000 side with a loss stop symbol. In the case of Yes in step 6716B, in step 6718B, the first decorative symbol display control means 2323a-1 (second decorative symbol display control means 2323a-2) changes the first decorative symbol (fluctuating) on the effect display device 2310. The second decorative symbol) is forcibly stopped at the loss stop symbol, and the process proceeds to Step 6734B. On the other hand, if No in step 6716B, the process proceeds to step 6730B.

  Next, the operation of Type B of the best mode will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG. Here, the timing chart shows how the first symbol and the second symbol fluctuate in the second adjustment mode (parallel: pseudo-probability variation gaming state). Even in this mode, the first symbol and the second symbol are allowed to fluctuate simultaneously. Specifically, the first symbol and the second symbol change in the order of winning in the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port. Here, as a result of the fluctuation of “2-3” in the second symbol, the game shifts to a special game. In response to this, when “2-3” of the second symbol stops at the winning symbol, the variation of “1-4” of the first symbol that has passed Ta since the start of the fluctuation is forcibly lost. Stop at the symbol. In addition, “1-4” of the first symbol is won internally, but the internal hit is invalidated by the forced loss.

  Next, a modified example of the best mode will be described with reference to FIG. There are two main points that the modified example is different from the best mode. The first point is the position in the game area of the 2nd special figure starting entrance, the 2nd big winning entrance and the general entrance entrance, and the second is the electric accessory provided at the upper part of the 2nd winning entrance. This is the probability (particularly the probability during normal gaming) of entering the open state when entering the open state. Regarding the latter, specifically, in the best mode, in the normal game, a lottery was performed as to whether or not to open the electric accessory at a significantly lower probability than in the specific game. In this modified example, the lottery probability is set to such a degree that a game ball can be won at the second special figure starting port even during normal times. Under such circumstances, there are at least three types of profit states that can be expected during normal games and specific games. That is, in the first profit state (the state where the profit state is the highest), the second predetermined mode is selected with respect to the first special symbol, and the grand prize opening for opening at the special game is the second grand prize opening. There is a case where the fourth predetermined mode is selected with respect to the second special symbol and the grand prize winning opening relating to the opening at the time of the special game is the second big winning prize, and the second profit state (intermediate) Is a case where the third predetermined mode is selected with respect to the second special symbol and the grand prize winning opening relating to the opening at the time of the special game is the second big winning prize, The lowest profit state) is when the first predetermined mode is selected for the first special symbol, and the big prize opening relating to opening at the time of the special game is the first big prize opening.

  Next, the second best mode will be described. Here, as described above, this best mode is opened during a special game based on only in which special symbol display part (first special symbol display part or second special symbol display part) the predetermined mode is stopped. This is a mode for determining a special winning opening to be in a state {corresponding to the above invention (3)}. The best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Except for this processing, it is essentially the same as the first best mode.

FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 16 in FIG. First, in step 50 (2), the special game control means 1170 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 50 (2), in step 52 (2), the special game content determination unit 1172 refers to the first special symbol information temporary storage unit 1191b, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol is the first predetermined symbol. It is determined whether or not the mode or the second predetermined mode. In the case of Yes in step 52 (2), in step 54 (2), the special game content determination means 1172 sets the first big prize opening as the special prize opening to be opened in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. At the same time, n ₁ (for example, 7 rounds) is set as the number of rounds, and the process proceeds to step 66 (2). On the other hand, if No in step 52 (2), that is, if the stop symbol of the second special symbol is the third predetermined mode or the fourth predetermined mode, the special game content is determined in step 58 (2). In the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, the determination means 1172 sets the second big prize opening as the big prize opening to be opened and sets n ₂ (for example, 15 rounds) as the number of rounds. ). In step 66 (2) and step 68 (2), the special game control means 1170 accesses the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to turn off the special game transition permission flag and set the special game content determination flag. After turning on and executing a special game execution process {step 2100 (2)} described later, the process proceeds to the next process {award ball payout process of step 5000 (2)}. Even in the case of No in step 50 (2), the process proceeds to a special game execution process {step 2100 (2)} described later.

  According to the best mode, when the predetermined mode is stopped, the identification information indicating that the predetermined mode is stopped, such as the first identification information display unit and the first variable winning opening, the second identification information display unit and the second variable winning port. Since the portion and the variable winning opening are configured to correspond to 1: 1, there is an effect that the complexity of the game can be avoided more.

  Next, the third best mode will be described. Here, as described above, in the best mode, regardless of which special symbol display unit (the first special symbol display unit or the second special symbol display unit) is stopped in the predetermined mode, This is a mode in which a big winning opening that is opened during a special game is determined based only on whether or not it has been stopped in a predetermined mode {attribute (normal hit, per probability fluctuation)} {corresponding to the above invention (4) }. The best mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Except for this processing, it is essentially the same as the first best mode.

FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the special game control process according to the subroutine of step 16 in FIG. First, in step 50 (3), the special game control means 1170 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game transition permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 50 (3), in step 52 (3), the special game content determination means 1172 refers to the first special figure information temporary storage means 1191b, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol is the first predetermined symbol. It is determined whether or not it is a mode, or whether or not the stop symbol of the second special symbol is the third predetermined mode with reference to the second special symbol information temporary storage means 1192b. In the case of Yes in step 52 (3), in step 54 (3), the special game content determination means 1172 sets the first big prize opening as the special prize opening to be opened in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. At the same time, n ₁ (for example, 7 rounds) is set as the number of rounds, and the process proceeds to step 66 (3). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 52 (3), that is, when the stop symbol of the first special symbol is the second predetermined mode or when the stop symbol of the second special symbol is the fourth predetermined mode, In step 58 (3), the special game content determination means 1172 sets the second big prize opening as the big prize opening to be opened in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and n ₂ (for example, 15) Round) is set, and the process proceeds to Step 66 (2). In step 66 (3) and step 68 (3), the special game control means 1170 accesses the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, turns off the special game transition permission flag and sets the special game content determination flag. After turning on and executing a special game execution process {step 2100 (3)} described later, the process proceeds to the next process {award ball payout process of step 5000 (3)}. Even in the case of No in step 50 (3), the process proceeds to a special game execution process {step 2100 (3)} described later.

  According to this best mode, regardless of the first identification information and the second identification information, the variable winning opening that is opened according to the type (attribute) of the predetermined mode is determined. The effect is that complexity can be avoided.
