Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine.

  For example, in a well-known pachinko machine called a “seven machine”, if you win a start chucker (also called a start chucker or a start winning opening) or a through chucker (also called a start gate), a random lottery (a big win lottery) ) To determine whether or not it is correct. Based on the determination result, the liquid crystal display unit (symbol display unit; variable display means) having one or a plurality of (for example, three digits) symbol display areas displays the symbols variably over a predetermined time and then displays the symbols (stop display). . Further, when the liquid crystal display unit displays a big win symbol (for example, a three-digit doublet such as “777”), a big hit is generated (invoked) and the attacker (big prize opening) is opened.

  In the above jackpot lottery (win / fail lottery), the winning probability is predetermined for each model (for example, 1/300 to 1/500), so the game is standardized and monotonous, and gradually loses interest. There is a tendency to end up. Therefore, two types of jackpots are set by providing two sets of start chuckers, lottery means, symbol display units, etc., and after winning one of the jackpots, the winning probability of winning the jackpot is a high probability for a predetermined number of lotteries ( It has been proposed to enhance interest by combining with a probability variation lottery number cut-off type (also referred to as ST type), which becomes a probability variation lottery state (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2005-329163 A

  Also, if one of the two sets of symbol display units is placed large in the central area of the game board and the other is placed small in the peripheral area of the game board, the player's interest in the central area of the symbol display section that is easy to see. Concentrate and make it difficult to see the symbols in the symbol display area in the peripheral area. Therefore, when the jackpot symbols are arranged in the symbol display area in the surrounding area, the player receives a strong impact (impression) as if a big jackpot suddenly occurred without any precautions (also called a hit type) Therefore, the unexpectedness of the game can be given and the interest can be improved.

  However, when such a hit type is combined with the ST type as in Patent Document 1, the probability variation lottery state is obtained after the jackpot is over, and the number of times the probability variation lottery is consumed in the symbol display section in the surrounding area without the player's knowledge. May end and return to the normal lottery state.

  The subject of the present invention is that it is easy to grasp the probability change lottery state with high probability by the variable display means in the central area while simultaneously displaying the variable display of two sets of symbols based on the success / failure lottery in the central area and the peripheral area. Is to provide a simple pachinko machine.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is
A first display information output means for executing a lottery determination in accordance with establishment of the first start condition, and generating / outputting symbol display information related to a variable display and a stop display of symbols such as characters and numbers based on the first lottery result; ,
A symbol display area for suspending and displaying the symbols based on the symbol display information generated / output by the first display information output means is arranged in the central area of the game board and occupies a relatively large display area. First variable display means;
A second display information output means for executing a lottery determination in accordance with the establishment of the second start condition, and generating / outputting symbol display information related to a variable display and a stop display of symbols such as characters and numbers based on the second lottery result; ,
A symbol display area for suspending and displaying the symbols after being variably displayed based on the symbol display information generated / output by the second display information output means is arranged in the peripheral region of the game board, and has a relatively small display area. Occupying second variable display means;
Display control means for independently executing symbol fluctuation display on the first variable display means and symbol fluctuation display on the second variable display means;
Fluctuation time setting means for setting a fluctuation time from the start of symbol fluctuation to the stop by the first variable display means or the second variable display means according to the first lottery result or the second lottery result;
After winning the jackpot, which is a special state advantageous to the player according to the first lottery result or the second lottery result, the winning probability of the jackpot is higher than the normal lottery state in common with each variable display means When the probability variation lottery state is set, and the total number of symbol variations performed by the first variable display means and the second variable display means reaches a predetermined probability variation lottery number, the jackpot is common to each variable display means. Probability control means for changing the winning probability to the normal lottery state,
The fluctuation time setting means sets the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation first started by the second variable display means after the end of the jackpot to be longer than the duration of the probability variation lottery state in the first variable display means. It is characterized by setting.

In addition, in order to solve the above problems, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is
Lottery means for executing a lottery determination upon establishment of a predetermined start condition;
Distribution means for distributing the lottery result of the lottery means to the first lottery result and the second lottery result;
First display information output means for generating and outputting symbol display information related to variable display and stop display of symbols such as letters and numbers based on the first lottery result;
A symbol display area for suspending and displaying the symbols based on the symbol display information generated / output by the first display information output means is arranged in the central area of the game board and occupies a relatively large display area. First variable display means;
A second display information output means for executing a lottery determination in accordance with the establishment of the second start condition, and generating / outputting symbol display information related to a variable display and a stop display of symbols such as characters and numbers based on the second lottery result; ,
A symbol display area for suspending and displaying the symbols after the symbols are variably displayed based on the symbol display information generated and output by the second display information output means is arranged in the peripheral region of the game board, and has a relatively small display area. Occupying second variable display means;
Display control means for independently executing symbol fluctuation display on the first variable display means and symbol fluctuation display on the second variable display means;
Fluctuation time setting means for setting a fluctuation time from the start of symbol fluctuation to the stop by the first variable display means or the second variable display means according to the first lottery result or the second lottery result;
After winning the jackpot, which is a special state advantageous to the player according to the first lottery result or the second lottery result, the winning probability of the jackpot is higher than the normal lottery state in common with each variable display means. When the probability variation lottery state is set, and the total number of symbol variations performed by the first variable display means and the second variable display means reaches a predetermined probability variation lottery number, the jackpot is common to each variable display means. Probability control means for changing the winning probability to the normal lottery state,
The variation time setting means sets the variation time of the symbol variation first started by the second variable display means after the jackpot is ended to be longer than the duration of the probability variation lottery state in the first variable display means. It is characterized by setting.

  Thus, by setting the variation time by the variation time setting means, the variation time of the first symbol variation in the second variable display means after the big hit ends is set sufficiently long, so that the player can greatly increase the central area of the game board. It is possible to grasp (monitor) the number of lotteries in the probability variation lottery state, the remaining number of times of the probability variation lottery, and the like only by looking at the symbol variation display and stop display on the first variable display means arranged. Therefore, by visually observing the symbol display (variation display and stop display) on the first variable display means, the player can easily grasp the progress of the game. In addition, at this time, in the pachinko machine, the output of the variable display information of the symbols by the two sets of display information output means proceeds simultaneously, and the variable display of the two sets of symbols based on the success / failure lottery and the first variable display means in the central area. Since it is proceeding simultaneously with the second variable display means in the peripheral area, the progress of the game is not hindered.

  Further, if the first variable display means displays (notifies) the probability variation lottery count as the number of times the probability variation lottery has been executed or the remaining probability variation lottery count, the player can easily catch the player's eyes and continue the probability variation lottery state to the player. The situation can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, and the player's interest can be attracted. Since the first symbol variation in the second variable display means after the big hit ends is continued until the symbol variation display and stop display in the probability variation state in the first variable display means are completed, The timing of the start or stop of symbol variation can be matched with the timing of changing (updating) the probability variation lottery count.

At this time, the duration of the probability variation lottery state in the first variable display means is the first variable display with the symbol variation time (for example, 10 seconds per hold) having the shortest symbol variation information of the probability variation lottery count (for example, 4 times). It is the shortest display time (for example, 40 seconds) that can be digested by being stopped and displayed on the means,
The fluctuation time setting means sets the fluctuation time (for example, 120 seconds) of the symbol fluctuation first started by the second variable display means after the end of the jackpot to be longer than the shortest display time by the first variable display means. Is desirable.

  In this way, for example, if the maximum number of the first lottery results that can be accumulated during the jackpot is released as the number of times of the probability variation lottery, the jackpot is again won (successful winning; so-called continuous change) during the probability variation lottery state. Probability increases. In addition, when the probability variation lottery on the first variable display means is over and the consecutive change is given up, the result of the probability variation lottery on the second variable display means is brought about (stopped display), and the player has a new interest. Can be aroused.

  Therefore, the probability control means may set the probability variation lottery count equal to or greater than the maximum number of holds of the first lottery result, and the probability variation lottery count can be easily set.

  Further, the variation time setting means sets the variation time (for example, 1 second) of the symbol variation on the second variable display means to be shorter than the shortest symbol variation time (for example, 10 seconds) on the first variable display means in the normal lottery state. Can be set short. In this way, by shortening the symbol variation time of the second variable display means in the normal lottery state, the reduction in the number of balls held in the normal lottery state is suppressed by the time-shortening effect and the operating rate of the gaming machine is improved. Can do. In addition, the probability that a big hit will occur in the first variable display means during the symbol variation display on the second variable display means in the normal lottery state (in other words, when a big win occurs in the first variable display means, the second variable It is possible to reduce the probability that the display means is displaying the symbol variation.

  Then, the display control means may execute an effect display such as the degree of expectation of jackpot on the first variable display means when the symbol variation first started by the second variable display means stops after the end of the jackpot. . As described above, since the symbol variation first started by the second variable display means after the jackpot is based on the lottery result in the probability variation lottery state, the probability of being a jackpot is high. The 1 variable display means is normally in a lottery state. Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the interest by displaying on the first variable display means an effect that gives a sense of expectation to the jackpot before the stop display.

Example 1
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic front view showing an example of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention. A pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a transparent glass door 2 attached to a frame, and a game board 3 disposed inside the frame and covered by the glass door 2. A circular game area is formed on the game board 3. Below the game board 3, a ball supply tray 4 is provided. Balls (game balls; game media) prepared in the ball supply tray 4 are fired toward the game board 3 by a ball firing mechanism including a firing handle 5. Since a large number of nails 3a are planted on the game board 3, balls that have reached the game area of the game board 3 through rails (not shown) fall on the surface of the game board 3 while being hit by the nails 3a. To do. Reference numeral 6 denotes an out port for collecting balls that did not win any of the winning ports.

  Near the center of the game board 3, a horizontally long liquid crystal display section 44 (pseudo special symbol display section; first variable display means) is disposed. The liquid crystal display unit 44 is formed with a symbol display area for performing various display effects by displaying a plurality of columns of symbols (for example, three-digit Arabic numerals) on a liquid crystal display.

  A first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) having a pair of rotating blade pieces 12a and 12a that are opened and closed is disposed in the lower central portion of the liquid crystal display unit 44. Further, immediately below the first start chucker 12, a second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening) that opens upward is disposed. Below the first start chucker 12 and the second start chucker 13, the first lottery executed based on the winning to the first start chucker 12 or the winning to the second start chucker 13 is executed. In the second lottery, there is provided an attacker 14 (large winning opening; variable winning device) that is opened when winning (big win). Further, on the left side of the liquid crystal display unit 44, when a ball passes, a preliminary lottery is performed, and if the result is a win, the through blades 12a and 12a of the first start chucker 13 are opened for a predetermined time. A chucker 11 (starting gate) is arranged.

  The winning rate for the first start chucker 12 is designed to be slightly higher than that of the second start chucker 13 even when the rotary blade pieces 12a and 12a are closed. The opening time of the rotary wing pieces 12a, 12a when winning in the preliminary lottery is short in normal games, so the winning rate is not so high, but in the short time after the big hit, the opening time is extended, so the winning rate is It will be quite expensive and will be easier to win. Accordingly, the jackpot is likely to occur even during normal times, and even in the short-time state after the jackpot ends, the ratio of winning the jackpot is high due to the first lottery based on the winning to the first start chucker 12, and the hit to the second start chucker 13 is high. The jackpot generated by the second lottery based on winning is an extra element.

  On the liquid crystal display unit 44, the first big hit lottery result read from the first special symbol storage area 24a (see FIG. 5B) is derived and displayed in the form of the above-mentioned three digits. That is, the lottery result of the first big hit lottery (first lottery) executed based on the winning to the first start chucker 12 is displayed. Therefore, the liquid crystal display unit 44 displays the symbol variation for a predetermined time for each digit according to the result of the first big hit lottery, and then in a predetermined order (for example, left symbol → right symbol → middle symbol). The stop display is performed, and the 3-digit jackpot symbol or the off symbol is fixedly displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 44.

  In addition, a special symbol display unit 45 and a special symbol hold display unit 46 are arranged vertically above and below the liquid crystal display unit 44 (to the right of the first start chucker 12). On the other hand, a normal symbol display unit 47 and a normal symbol hold display unit 48 are arranged vertically above and below the liquid crystal display unit 44 (to the left of the first start chucker 12). These display units 45, 46, 47, and 48 are disposed on the left and right peripheral parts of the game board 3, respectively, and have a smaller display area than the liquid crystal display unit 44.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the special symbol display unit 45 is composed of a plurality of (for example, two digits) segment display areas. Each segment display area is arranged on the left side and a first special symbol display unit 451 (symbol display area) for displaying the lottery result of the first big hit lottery (first lottery), and the second big hit lottery (second) A second special symbol display unit 452 (symbol display area; second variable display means) for displaying the lottery result of (lottery) is configured. The first special symbol display unit 451 (second special symbol display unit 452) is formed in a seven-segment system in which seven segments are individually turned on to represent numbers, and the first lottery result (second lottery result) is displayed in a variable manner. During this, all segments are blinked and stopped after a predetermined time. At this time, if only the center bar is lit as shown in FIG. 2 (b), it indicates that the symbol is a defeated symbol (out of symbol), and the numbers 0 to 9 (eg, “7”) are lit as shown in FIG. This means that it is a winning symbol (a jackpot symbol).

  The first special symbol display unit 451 and the second special symbol display unit 452 may be fluctuating at the same time (all segments blinking). The other continues (continues) the variable display until the execution of the game corresponding to the symbol is completed. If you win a jackpot at the same time in the first lottery and the second lottery, if the player wins the jackpot at the same time, the player may not be able to earn twice the jackpot. The other variation timer is stopped (interrupted), and the variation timer is restarted after the jackpot is finished so that the player does not lose.

  Thus, both the liquid crystal display unit 44 and the special symbol display unit 45 are common in that the lottery results of the jackpot lottery are confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol (winning symbol) or a missed symbol (lost symbol). However, the liquid crystal display unit 44 mainly functions as a pseudo (dummy) variable display unit that shares the production display, while the special symbol display unit 45 functions as a regular variable display unit that mainly shares the lottery result notification. To do. Therefore, in the special symbol display unit 45, the first special symbol display unit 451 and the second special symbol display unit 452 always display the first lottery result and the second lottery result. Only the lottery result is displayed. In this way, by sharing the functions between the liquid crystal display unit 44 and the special symbol display unit 45, it is possible to diversify the production.

  The special symbol hold display unit 46 includes a plurality (for example, four) of LED display areas. Of these, the left two LED display areas 461a and 461b constitute a first special symbol hold display unit 461 that represents the number of holds in the first lottery corresponding to the first special symbol display unit 451. On the other hand, the two right LED display areas 462a and 462b constitute a second special symbol hold display unit 462 that represents the number of holds in the second lottery corresponding to the second special symbol display unit 452.

  When the first start chucker 12 wins during the symbol change of the liquid crystal display unit 44 (first special symbol display unit 451), the LED display areas 461a and 461b of the first special symbol hold display unit 461 are in the first lottery. The reserved number is expressed in binary format. Specifically, when one ball is won in the first start chucker 12, the area 461a is lit in orange and the area 461b is turned off to indicate the number of holds. Hereinafter, the area 461a is lit in orange, the area 461b is lit in orange and the hold number is 2, the area 461a is flashed in orange, the area 461b is lit in orange, the hold number is 3, and the area 461a is flashed in orange. 461b blinks orange to indicate the number of holdings of four. On the other hand, each time the symbol change of the liquid crystal display unit 44 (first special symbol display unit 451) starts, the hold information (lottery result) in the LED display areas 461a and 461b is forwarded, and the number of holds is displayed one by one. The In this way, by combining the turn-off / light-on / flashing, it is possible to display up to four holds with two LEDs.

  In addition, when the second start chucker 13 wins a prize during the symbol variation of the second special symbol display unit 452, the addition display of the number of holdings, and the hold when the symbol variation of the second special symbol display unit 452 is started The number subtraction display is similarly performed using the LED display areas 462a and 462b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the normal symbol display unit 47 is composed of one or a plurality of (for example, one) LED display areas. In this normal symbol display unit 47, the symbol variation display is performed by switching the LED emission color (for example, alternately switching between green and orange) according to the result of the preliminary lottery performed when the ball passes through the through chucker 11. In the case of winning, the display is confirmed (stop display) with one color (for example, green), and the display is confirmed (stop display) with the other color (for example, orange).

  When the ball passes through the through chucker 11 during the symbol variation of the normal symbol display unit 47, the LED display areas 48a and 48b of the normal symbol hold display unit 48 indicate the number of reserves of the preliminary lottery in a binary number system. Specifically, when one ball passes through the through chucker 11, the area 48a of the normal symbol hold display section 48 is lit in orange and the area 48b is turned off, indicating the number of holds. Hereinafter, the area 48a is lit in orange, the area 48b is lit in orange, the holding number is 2, the area 48a is flashed in orange, the area 48b is lit in orange, the holding number is 3, and the area 48a is flashed in orange. 48b blinks orange to indicate the number of holdings of four. On the other hand, each time the symbol change of the normal symbol display section 47 is started, the hold information (lottery result) in the LED display areas 48a and 48b is forwarded, and the number of hold is displayed one by one. In this way, by combining the turn-off / light-on / flashing, it is possible to display up to four holds with two LEDs.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of the game control device 20 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game control device 20 is disposed on the back side of the game board 3. As shown in FIG. 4, the game control device 20 includes a main board 21 (main control unit), a display control board 26 (display control unit; first display information output means; second display information output means), and a voice control board 27. (Voice control unit; first voice information output means; second voice information output means), lamp control board 28 (lamp control part), payout control board 29 (prize ball control part) and launch control board 30 (launch control part) It is configured to include. A configuration in which each substrate is individually provided with a CPU and a memory is common, but is omitted in FIG. In addition, power of a predetermined voltage generated by the power supply circuit unit 35 is supplied to each board via the main board 21.

  The main board 21 includes a CPU 22 (first lottery means; second lottery means; jackpot generating means; display control means; voice control means; distribution means; probability control means; variable time setting means) that is an arithmetic device and various programs. 23a to 23i, normal jackpot determination table 23j, probability variation jackpot determination table 23k and the like (see FIG. 5A) are stored in advance as ROM 23 and a readable / writable main storage device used as a work area The RAM 24 and the input / output port 25 are connected to each other via a bus (not shown).

  The display control board 26 creates and outputs symbol display information according to the display control signal input from the main board 21, and executes processing (control) for displaying an image on the liquid crystal display unit 44. The sound control board 27 creates and outputs sound information in accordance with the sound control signal input from the main board 21 and outputs sound from the speaker 40 (including an amplifier; see FIG. 1). The lamp control board 28 controls blinking of the lamps 41 (see FIG. 1) according to the lamp control signal input from the main board 21. The payout control board 29 controls the payout device 42 according to the prize ball signal input from the main board 21. Thereby, a predetermined amount of prize balls are paid out to the player (ball payout tray). The launch control board 30 activates the launch device 43 according to the launch signal input from the main board 21 based on the operation of the launch handle 5 (see FIG. 1) by the player. The special symbol display unit 45, the special symbol hold display unit 46, the normal symbol display unit 47, and the normal symbol hold display unit 48 are driven and controlled by a display control signal output from the main board 21 (CPU 22).

  The main board 21 includes a gate passage detector 31 attached to the through chucker 11, a first start prize detector 32 attached to the first start chucker 12, and a second start prize detection attached to the second start chucker 13. The ball detection signals from the big prize detector 34 attached to the device 33 and the attacker 14 are input (see FIG. 1). Each detector 31, 32, 33, 34 can be constituted by a contact type or non-contact type sensor (switch).

  On the other hand, the opening and closing of the first start chucker 12 configured as a start winning opening is realized by switching the excitation / de-excitation of the first chuck solenoid 36 by an output signal from the main board 21. The opening / closing of the attacker 14 configured as a variable winning device is realized by switching between excitation / de-excitation of the attacker solenoid 37 by an output signal from the main board 21.

  Here, an outline of the flow of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (change in the game state on the game board 3) will be described with reference to FIGS. When the ball enters the through chucker 11 (passes through the gate) and is detected by the gate passage detector 31, a preliminary lottery is executed and the lottery result is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 47. If the result of the preliminary lottery is successful, the LED of the normal symbol display section 47 is lit in green (stop display), and the rotary blade pieces 12a and 12a are excited for a predetermined time (for example, 0) by the excitation of the first chuck solenoid 36. .5 seconds), it becomes easy to win the first start chucker 12.

  When the ball wins the first start chucker 12 and is detected by the first start winning detector 32, the first lottery using the normal jackpot determination table 23j or the probability variation jackpot determination table 23k (see FIG. 5A) ( Internal lottery) is performed. When a determination of losing is made in the first lottery, after the symbol is variably displayed over a predetermined time in the first special symbol display unit 451 (symbol display region) of the special symbol display unit 45, a one-digit lost symbol (figure) is displayed. 2 (b)) is confirmed (stop display), and the symbol changing operation is terminated. Further, when the big win determination (first big win) is made in the first lottery, the first special symbol display unit 451 displays the symbols in a variable manner over a predetermined time and then wins the one-digit winning symbol (FIG. 2 (c)). (See) is confirmed (stop display), and becomes the “first jackpot state (special game state)”.

  Then, the attacker 14 is opened by the excitation of the attacker solenoid 37, and a situation where the balls are very easy to enter is brought about. Since the opening of the attacker 14 is repeated up to a predetermined number of rounds (for example, up to 5 times) with a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning detection by the big prize detector 34 or the passage of a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) as one round, During the first big hit state, the player can obtain a large number of prize balls. In addition, after the end of the first jackpot, a probability variation lottery state in which the jackpot winning probability is higher than the normal lottery state over a predetermined number of probability variation lotteries (for example, five times) is set.

  In addition to the above-described game flow, when a ball wins the second start chucker 13 and is detected by the second start winning detector 33, the normal jackpot determination table 23j or the probability variation jackpot determination table 23k (FIG. 5A). The second lottery (internal lottery) using the reference) is performed. When a determination of losing is made in the second lottery, the symbol is variably displayed over a predetermined time in the second special symbol display unit 452 (symbol display region) of the special symbol display unit 45, and then a one-digit lost symbol (figure) is displayed. 2 (b)) is confirmed (stop display), and the symbol changing operation is terminated. Also, when a big hit determination (second big win) is made in the second lottery, the second special symbol display unit 452 displays the symbols in a variable manner over a predetermined time and then wins a one-digit winning symbol (FIG. 2 (c)). (See) is confirmed (stop display), and becomes the “second jackpot state (special game state)”.

  Then, the attacker 14 is opened by the excitation of the attacker solenoid 37, and a situation where the balls are very easy to enter is brought about. Since the opening of the attacker 14 is repeated up to a predetermined number of rounds (for example, up to 5 times) with a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning detection by the big prize detector 34 or the passage of a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) as one round, During the second big hit state, the player can obtain a large number of prize balls. In addition, after the end of the second jackpot, a probability variation lottery state in which the winning probability of the jackpot is higher than the normal lottery state over a predetermined number of probability variation lotteries (for example, five times) is set.

  In the liquid crystal display unit 44, the first lottery result is displayed. When a determination of losing is made in the first lottery displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 44, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner for each digit in synchronization with the changing operation of the first special symbol display unit 451. The off symbol (for example, “357” etc.) is fixedly displayed (stopped display) in the symbol display area. In addition, when the jackpot determination (first jackpot) is made in the first lottery displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 44, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner for each digit in synchronization with the changing operation of the first special symbol display unit 451. After that, a 3-digit jackpot symbol (for example, a doublet such as “777”) is fixedly displayed (stopped display) in the symbol display area, and a “first jackpot state” is set.

  In FIG. 4, the CPU 22 performs a first lottery function for executing a first lottery for winning or losing in accordance with a start winning for the first start chucker 12 and a start winning for the second start chucker 13. Accordingly, the second lottery means for executing the second lottery for winning or losing is provided. In addition, the CPU 22 has a function as a jackpot generating means that activates a jackpot according to the determination result of the first lottery or the second lottery. Further, the CPU 22 functions as a display control means for causing the first special symbol display unit 451 to perform the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol display unit 452 to perform the variable display of the second special symbol, respectively. have. This display control means gives an instruction to display the symbols in a variable manner and stop display in the symbol display area of the liquid crystal display unit 44.

  Then, the CPU 22 sets a variation time from the start of the symbol variation to the stop on the liquid crystal display unit 44 or the second special symbol display unit 452 according to the first lottery result or the second lottery result. It has a function as setting means. In addition, after the jackpot is over, the CPU 22 sets the jackpot winning probability to a probability varying lottery state having a higher probability than the normal lottery state in common with both the special symbol display units 451 and 452, and the liquid crystal display unit 44 and the second When the total number of symbol changes performed with the special symbol display unit 452 reaches a predetermined probability variation lottery number (for example, 5 times), the winning probability of winning a jackpot in the normal lottery state is common to both the special symbol display units 451 and 452 It has the function as a probability control means to change to.

  The RAM 24 is a storage area for storing the first special symbol (the lottery result of the first lottery), the second special symbol (the lottery result of the second lottery), and the normal symbol (the lottery result of the preliminary lottery). 24a, 24b, and 24c (see FIG. 5B) are provided. The RAM 24 also includes a first variation timer 24d for measuring the symbol variation time on the first special symbol display unit 451, and a first variation timer for measuring the symbol variation time on the second special symbol display unit 452. A 2-variation timer 24e is provided (see FIG. 5B). Further, the RAM 24 is also provided with an area 24f for storing the number of times of chance variation lottery set in the probability variation lottery state in which the winning probability of the jackpot is higher than the normal lottery state after the end of the first jackpot or the second jackpot. Yes.

  In addition, the liquid crystal display unit 44 confirms the jackpot symbol or the off symbol by suspending and displaying the symbols of each digit over a predetermined time based on the lottery result of the first lottery by the first lottery means (CPU 22). It has a function as a first variable display means for displaying. Furthermore, the special symbol display unit 45 displays the symbols after variably displaying for a predetermined time based on the lottery results of the first lottery and the second lottery means (CPU 22) by the first lottery means and the second lottery means, It has a function as variable display means for confirming and displaying a winning symbol or a winning symbol.

  Next, the control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. The flowcharts of FIGS. 6 to 13 correspond to the programs 23b to 23i stored in the ROM 23 of FIG.

  First, in the flowchart showing the first start winning detection process in FIG. 6, it is confirmed whether the first start winning detector 32 detects the start winning to the first start chucker 12 in S1. In the case of winning detection (YES in S1), it is determined in S2 whether or not the number of first special symbols held (the number stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) has reached four. If the number of retained first special symbols is 3 or less (NO in S2), the first lottery is executed in S3, the first lottery result of S3 is stored in S4, and a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S5 And return. If the number of reserved first symbol symbols has reached four (YES in S2), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S5 and the process returns. If the first start prize detector 32 has not detected a start prize (NO in S1), the process immediately returns.

  Subsequently, in the flowchart showing the second start winning detection process of FIG. 7, it is confirmed in S11 whether the second start winning detector 33 detects the start winning to the second start chucker 13. In the case of winning detection (YES in S11), it is determined in S12 whether or not the number of second special symbols held (the number stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b) has reached four. If the number of reserved second special symbols is 3 or less (NO in S12), the second lottery is executed in S13, the second lottery result in S13 is stored in S14, and a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S15 And return. If the number of reserved special symbols has reached four (YES in S12), a prize ball payout instruction is issued in S15 and the process returns. If the second start winning detector 33 has not detected a start winning (NO in S11), the process immediately returns.

  Specifically, for example, the normal jackpot determination table 23j so that the winning probability in the normal (lottery) state is 1/100 in both the first lottery (S3 in FIG. 6) and the second lottery (S13 in FIG. 7). (See FIG. 5A) is set. Similarly, the probability variation big hit determination table 23k (FIG. 5 (FIG. 5) is such that the winning probability in the probability variation (lottery) state is 1/10 in both the first lottery (S3 in FIG. 6) and the second lottery (S13 in FIG. 7). a) see) is set. In this way, since the winning probabilities of the first lottery and the second lottery are set equal, both determination tables 23j and 23k can be shared. At that time, after the jackpot ends (after the end of the first jackpot or after the end of the second jackpot), the probability change (lottery) until the fluctuation display operation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol reaches a total (total) 5 times It is set to be in a state. The first special symbol variation time is selected to be shorter as the number of holds increases, the second special symbol variation time is normally 1 second, and the first symbol variation after the jackpot is selected is 2 minutes.

  In addition, after the probability change (lottery) state is completed, it is set to be in a short time state (which constitutes a part of the normal lottery state) until the change display operation of both symbols reaches 50 times in total (total). Specifically, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is reduced from 30 seconds in the normal time to 1 second in the time reduction, and the opening time of the rotary blade pieces 12a, 12a of the first start chucker 12 is 0.5 seconds in the normal time. × 1 time to 1.8 seconds × 3 times during time reduction. In addition, the normal symbol hit probability is set to a high probability of 127/128.

  Next, in the flowchart showing the calling process of the first special symbol in FIG. 8, it is confirmed in S21 whether the number of the first special symbol held (the number stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) is one or more. If there is a hold of the first special symbol (YES in S21), it is confirmed in S22 whether the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. If the variation of the first special symbol is not being displayed (NO in S22), it is determined in S23 whether the jackpot flag is ON. If neither the first jackpot nor the second jackpot is activated (NO in S23), the oldest lottery result of the first lottery is called in S24, the first special symbol variation processing subroutine in S25 is executed, and the process returns. To do. When the first special symbol is not held (NO at S21), when the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner (YES at S22), and when the jackpot flag is ON (YES at S23), respectively. Return immediately (without executing the first special symbol variation processing subroutine). That is, when there is no hold, when the previous symbol variation is performed, and when the jackpot is being hit, a new symbol variation is not started.

  In the flowchart showing the first special symbol variation processing subroutine of FIG. 9, it is determined in S251a whether the probability variation flag is ON. Note that the probability variation flag is ON at the end of the jackpot (S50 in FIG. 12). If the probability change flag is OFF (NO in S251a), in S251b, the oldest first lottery result called in S24 (FIG. 8) is determined in the normal jackpot determination table 23j (see FIG. 5A), In S252, the first variation time and the first stop symbol are determined. Furthermore, in S253, the first special symbol display unit 451 starts symbol variation and starts the operation of the first variation timer 24d. Next, in S254, it is checked whether the first variation time has elapsed. If the first variation time has elapsed (YES in S254), the symbol variation is stopped in S255, and it is determined in S256 whether the first stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol. If the first stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol (YES in S256), the jackpot flag is turned on in S257 and the process returns. If the first stop symbol does not match the jackpot symbol (NO in S256), the process immediately returns.

  On the other hand, if the first variation time has not elapsed (NO in S254), it is checked in S258 whether the big hit flag is ON. When the big hit flag is ON (YES in S258), the operation (time count) of the first fluctuation timer 24d is stopped (interrupted) in S259, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is displayed during the second big hit activation. continue. When the second jackpot is activated and the jackpot flag is turned OFF (YES in S260), the operation (timekeeping) of the first variation timer 24d is resumed in S261, and the process returns to the step next to S253. If the jackpot flag is OFF from the beginning (NO in S258), the process immediately returns to S253.

  By the way, in FIG. 9 again, when the probability variation flag is turned on (YES in S251a), the oldest first lottery result called in S24 (FIG. 8) is represented in S251c by the probability variation big hit determination table 23k (FIG. 5 (a)). Reference). Then, in S251d, the probability variation lottery count is incremented (+1), and in S251e, it is checked whether or not the probability variation lottery count (probability variation lottery count storage area 24f) has reached five. If the number of probability variation lots is less than 5 (YES in S251e), the process proceeds to S252. On the other hand, when the probability variation lottery number has reached 5 (NO in S251e), the probability variation flag is turned off in S251f to end the probability variation lottery state, and in S251g, the probability variation lottery count is reset to “0” and the process proceeds to S252. It reaches.

  Subsequently, in the flowchart showing the calling process of the second special symbol in FIG. 10, it is confirmed in S31 whether there is one or more reserved numbers of second special symbols (the number stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b). If there is a hold of the second special symbol (YES in S31), it is confirmed in S32 whether the second special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. If the second special symbol variation display is not in progress (NO in S32), it is determined in S33 whether the jackpot flag is ON. If neither the first jackpot nor the second jackpot is activated (NO in S33), the oldest lottery result of the second lottery is called in S34, the second special symbol variation processing subroutine in S35 is executed, and the process returns. To do. When the second special symbol is not held (NO at S31), when the second special symbol is being changed (YES at S32), and when the jackpot flag is ON (YES at S33), respectively. Return immediately (without executing the second special symbol variation processing subroutine). That is, when there is no hold, when the previous symbol variation is performed, and when the jackpot is being hit, a new symbol variation is not started.

  Then, in the flowchart showing the second special symbol variation processing subroutine of FIG. 11, it is determined in S351a whether or not the probability variation flag is ON. If the probability change flag is OFF (NO in S351a), in S351b, the oldest second lottery result called in S34 (FIG. 10) is determined in the normal jackpot determination table 23j (see FIG. 5A), In S352, the second variation time and the second stop symbol are determined. If the probability variation flag is OFF (NO in S351a), the second variation time is set to 1 second in S352. Further, in S353, the second special symbol display unit 452 starts symbol variation and starts operation of the second variation timer 24e. Next, in S354, it is checked whether the second variation time has elapsed. If the second variation time has elapsed (YES in S354), the symbol variation is stopped in S355, and it is determined in S356 whether the second stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol. If the second stop symbol matches the jackpot symbol (YES in S356), the jackpot flag is turned on in S357 and the process returns. If the second stop symbol does not match the jackpot symbol (NO in S356), the process immediately returns.

  On the other hand, if the second variation time has not elapsed (NO in S354), it is checked in S358 whether the big hit flag is ON. When the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S358), the operation (time count) of the second variation timer 24e is stopped (interrupted) in S359, and the second special symbol variation display is displayed during the first jackpot activation. continue. When the first big hit is completed and the first big hit flag is turned off (YES in S360), the operation (timekeeping) of the second variation timer 24e is resumed in S361, and the process returns to S353. If the jackpot flag is OFF from the beginning (NO in S358), the process immediately returns to S353.

  By the way, in FIG. 11 again, if the probability variation flag is ON (YES in S351a), the oldest second lottery result called in S34 (FIG. 10) is used in S351c to determine the probability variation big hit determination table 23k (FIG. 5A). ))). Then, in S351d, the probability variation lottery count is incremented (+1), and in S351e, it is checked whether or not the probability variation lottery count (probability variation lottery count storage area 24f) has reached five. If the probability variation number of lots is less than 5 (YES in S351e), the process proceeds to S352. On the other hand, when the probability variation lottery number has reached 5 (NO in S351e), the probability variation flag is turned off in S351f to end the probability variation lottery state, and in S351g, the probability variation lottery count is reset to “0” and S352. To. If the probability variation flag is ON (YES in S351a), the second variation time is set to 120 seconds in S352.

  Next, the flowchart showing the jackpot process in FIG. 12 is applied in common to the first jackpot and the second jackpot, and it is confirmed in S41 whether the jackpot flag is ON. If the jackpot flag is set to ON in S257 (FIG. 9) or S357 (FIG. 11) (YES in S41), the jackpot is activated and whether the number of rounds in the jackpot reaches 5 (number of continuable rounds) in S42 Check whether or not. If the number of rounds is less than 5 (YES in S42), the number of rounds is incremented (+1) in S43, and the attacker 14 is released in S44. The open state of the attacker 14 is ended when the large winning detector 34 detects the number of winning possible prizes 10 (YES in S45) or when the open state has elapsed for 25 seconds (YES in S46), and the attacker 14 in S47. Close and return. If the jackpot flag is OFF (NO in S41), the process immediately returns.

  On the other hand, when the number of rounds has reached 5 (NO in S42), the number of rounds is reset in S48, the jackpot flag is turned off in S49 and the jackpot activation is terminated, and the probability change flag is turned on in S50. And return. Note that the number of winning balls (the number of payouts per winning) can be set to 15, for example, when winning a jackpot.

  The flow chart showing the display output process of FIG. 13 shows the processing contents of the display information output to the liquid crystal display unit 44. When the power source is turned on in S51, it always circulates. In S52, the standby display information is output. In S53, it is confirmed whether the first special symbol variation processing subroutine (FIG. 9) has been started. If the variation processing has been started (YES in S53), first variation display information is output in S54. In S55, it is confirmed whether the variation process of the first special symbol has been completed. If it has been completed (YES in S55), it is further checked in S56 whether the stop symbol of the first special symbol matches the jackpot symbol. . If it is a jackpot symbol (YES in S56), the first jackpot display information is output in S57. Next, in S58, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot processing has been completed. If completed (YES in S58), the process returns to S53, and if not completed (NO in S58), the process returns to S57.

  Each “display information” (excluding standby display information) shown in FIG. 13 is added with “sound information” such as sound effects created by the sound control board 27 and output from the speaker 40. As a result, a greater sense of realism can be imparted.

  Next, using the time charts shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 and the display example shown in FIG. 16, the special symbol call processing and variation processing will be described more specifically. At T0 in FIG. 14, a big win occurs in the first special symbol (first lottery), and the big win ends at T1 to enter the probability variation lottery state. At this time, the variation time of the symbol variation (1) first started in the second special symbol (second special symbol display unit 452) is the hold (4) of the first special symbol (first special symbol hold display unit 461). Is set to 120 seconds, which is longer than the total time of the symbol variations (2) to (5) displayed one after another on the liquid crystal display unit 44 (S352 in FIG. 11). The symbol variation lottery state is terminated at the end of symbol variation (2) to (5) at T2, and the symbol variation 1 to 14 of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is repeated by shifting to the short time state (normal lottery state). . At this time, the fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuations 3 to 6 etc. repeated in the second special symbol (second special symbol display part 452) is changed and displayed one after another on the liquid crystal display part 44. For example, it is set to 1 second shorter than any variation time (S352 in FIG. 11). Note that the symbol variation (1) stops after the symbol variations 1 and 2 (with outliers).

  That is, FIG. 14 represents a pattern (ST pattern) in which a big hit does not occur in the symbol variations (1) to (5) in the probability variation lottery state, and shifts to the short time state (normal lottery state). Therefore, when the symbol variation (1) in the probability variation lottery state after the big hit is started, a display (see FIG. 16 (a)) indicating "the probability variation remaining four times" is made on the liquid crystal display unit 44. The number of remaining times decreases every time symbol variation on the display unit 44 is started. Then, after the symbol variation (5) is started, the remaining 0 is displayed, and before the symbol variation (1) is stopped and displayed, an effect display such as a jackpot expectation degree (so-called hot effect display; FIG. b) is performed on the liquid crystal display unit 44. Further, when the symbol variation 1 is started after shifting to the time reduction state, a display indicating “49 remaining time reductions” (see FIG. 16C) is made, and the remaining number of times is displayed every time symbol variation 2 or later is started. Decrease.

  At T0 in FIG. 15, a big win occurs in the second special symbol (second lottery), and the big win ends at T1 to enter the probability variation lottery state. At this time, the variation time of the symbol variation (1) first started in the second special symbol (second special symbol display unit 452) is the hold (4) of the first special symbol (first special symbol hold display unit 461). Is set to 120 seconds, which is longer than the total time of the symbol variations (2) to (5) displayed one after another on the liquid crystal display unit 44 (S352 in FIG. 11). Since the symbol variations (2) to (5) in the probability variation lottery state are completed at T2, the state shifts to the short time state (normal lottery state), and symbol variations 1 and 2 are executed. However, after that, T3 is reached, and in the second special symbol display unit 452, the symbol variation (1) of the second special symbol in the probability variation lottery state is stopped and displayed as a jackpot symbol, and a jackpot is generated. At this time, the variation timer (first variation timer 24d) of the first special symbol is stopped (the broken line portion in the diagram), the operation of the first variation timer 24d is restarted at T4 when the big hit ends, Display the results. At the end of the big hit, the probability variation lottery state is entered again at T4, and the symbol variations (1) to (5) are repeated in the same manner as described above.

  In other words, FIG. 15 shows a pattern (hit pattern) in which a big hit occurs due to the symbol variation (1) of the second special symbol in the probability variation lottery state. Therefore, when a big hit occurs at T3, the liquid crystal display unit 44 displays “big hit! ! ] Is displayed (see FIG. 16D), and a big hit state is suddenly achieved. Note that the display examples in FIGS. 16A to 16C are common to FIG.

  In this way, the maximum number of holds (for example, 4) of the first lottery results accumulated during the jackpot will be released collectively after the jackpot ends, and the jackpot will be won again (continuous win; The probability of so-called continuous change is increased. In addition, when the probability variation lottery on the liquid crystal display unit 44 is over and the continuous change is given up, the result of the probability variation lottery of the second special symbol display unit 452 is brought to a stop (displayed), and a new player is presented. It can arouse interest.

(Example 2)
The flowchart showing the start winning detection process in FIG. 17 is expressed in a form in which the first start winning detection process in FIG. 6 and the second start winning detection process in FIG. 7 described in the first embodiment are integrated. That is, in this embodiment (FIG. 17), the start condition is established when a ball wins either the first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) or the second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening). (Refer to FIG. 1), the winning lottery (internal lottery) by a single lottery means is executed. Further, the lottery result is distributed and stored in the first hold (first special symbol storage area 24a) or second hold (second special symbol storage area 24b) corresponding to the winning start chuckers 12 and 13 (FIG. 5). (See (b)). In this way, the CPU 22 (see FIG. 4) also functions as a distribution unit that distributes the lottery result to the first lottery result and the second lottery result.

  Specifically, in S301 of FIG. 17, it is confirmed whether any of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) has detected the starting winning. In any case, when winning is detected (YES in S301), it is checked in S302 which start chuckers 12, 13 (start winning detectors 32, 33) have detected winning. If the winning is detected by the first start chucker 12 (the first starting winning detector 32) (YES in S302), the number of first special symbols to be held (the number stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) is determined in S303. It is determined whether or not the number is four. On the other hand, if the winning is detected by the second start chucker 13 (second starting winning detector 33) (NO in S302), the number of reserved second symbols (the number stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b) in S304. ) Is determined whether it has reached four.

  If the number of reserved first symbols is 3 or less (NO in S303) and the number of reserved 2nd special symbols is 3 or less (NO in S304), an internal lottery is executed in S305. In S306, the start chuckers 12, 13 (start winning detectors 32, 33) for the lottery are reconfirmed, and the lottery result storage destination is allocated. At this time, if the lottery is based on the winning detection by the first start chucker 12 (starting winning detector 32) (YES in S306), the lottery result of S305 is used as the first lottery result in S307 as the first special symbol storage area. In step S309, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize ball payout instructions are issued, and the process returns. On the other hand, if the lottery is based on winning detection by the second start chucker 13 (second start winning detector 33) (NO in S306), the lottery result in S305 is stored in the second special symbol as the second lottery result in S308. The information is stored in the area 24b, and a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize ball payout instructions are issued in S309 and the process returns.

  In addition, when the number of reservations of the first special symbol has reached 4 (YES in S303) and when the number of reservations of the second special symbol has reached 4 (YES in S304), in S309 A predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize ball payout instructions are issued and the process returns. Further, if neither of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting prize detectors 32 and 33) has detected a starting prize (NO in S301), the process immediately returns.

  In this embodiment, the processing following FIG. 17 is executed in the same manner as in FIGS. 8 to 13 (Embodiment 1), and thus the description thereof is omitted.

(Example 3)
The flowchart showing the start winning detection process in FIG. 18 is expressed in a form in which the first start winning detection process in FIG. 6 and the second start winning detection process in FIG. 7 described in the first embodiment are integrated. That is, in this embodiment (FIG. 18), the start condition is established when a ball wins either the first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) or the second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening). (Refer to FIG. 1), the winning lottery (internal lottery) by a single lottery means is executed. Further, the lottery results are alternately distributed and stored in the first hold (first special symbol storage area 24a) and the second hold (second special symbol storage area 24b) regardless of the winning start chuckers 12 and 13. (See FIG. 5B). In this way, the CPU 22 (see FIG. 4) also functions as a distribution unit that distributes the lottery result to the first lottery result and the second lottery result.

  Specifically, in S401 of FIG. 18, it is confirmed whether any of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) has detected the starting winning. If any of the winnings is detected (YES in S401), an internal lottery is executed in S402, and in S403, it is checked whether the hold flag is set (switched) “1” or “2”. The results are stored alternately.

  At this time, if the hold flag is set (switched) to “1” (YES in S403), the number of hold of the first special symbol (the number of memories stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a) becomes 4 in S404. It is determined whether or not it has been reached. If the number of holds of the first special symbol is 3 or less (NO in S404), the lottery result of S402 is stored in the first special symbol storage area 24a as the first lottery result in S405, and the hold flag is set in S406. After changing to “2”, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize ball payout instructions are issued in S407 and the process returns. If the number of reserved first symbol symbols has reached 4 (YES in S404), a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize ball payout instructions are issued in S407 and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the hold flag is set (switched) to “2” (NO in S403), the number of second special symbols held (the number stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b) reaches four in S408. It is determined whether or not. If the number of the second special symbol hold is 3 or less (NO in S408), the lottery result of S402 is stored in the second special symbol storage area 24b as the second lottery result in S409, and the hold flag is set in S410. After changing to “1”, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize ball payout instructions are issued in S407 and the process returns. If the number of reserved second symbol symbols has reached 4 (YES in S408), a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize ball payout instructions are issued in S407 and the process returns. If both start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) have not detected a starting winning (NO in S401), the process immediately returns.

  In this embodiment, the processing following FIG. 18 is executed in the same manner as in FIGS.

Example 4
The flowchart showing the start winning detection process of FIG. 19 is expressed in a form in which the first start winning detection process of FIG. 6 described in the first embodiment and the second start winning detection process of FIG. 7 are integrated. That is, in this embodiment (FIG. 19), the start condition is established when a ball wins either the first start chucker 12 (first start winning opening) or the second start chucker 13 (second start winning opening). (Refer to FIG. 1), the winning lottery (internal lottery) by a single lottery means is executed. Further, the lottery result is stored as a common hold. That is, in this embodiment, one of the first special symbol storage area 24a and the second special symbol storage area 24b (see FIG. 5B) can be omitted.

  The flowchart showing the special symbol call processing of FIG. 20 is expressed in a form in which the first special symbol call processing of FIG. 8 and the second special symbol call processing of FIG. 10 described in the first embodiment are integrated. Has been. That is, in this embodiment (FIG. 20), the symbol display information based on the reserved lottery result is displayed on the display unit (the liquid crystal display unit 44 or the second display unit) that can start the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. 2 special symbol display section 452). In this way, the CPU 22 (see FIG. 4) also functions as a distribution unit that distributes the lottery result into the first symbol display information based on the first lottery result and the second symbol display information based on the second lottery result. Yes.

  Specifically, in S501 of FIG. 19, it is confirmed whether any of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) has detected the starting winning. If any of the winnings is detected (YES in S501), an internal lottery is executed in S502, and it is determined in S503 whether the number of special symbols held (the number of special symbol storage areas) has reached four. To do. If the number of reserved special symbols is 3 or less (NO in S503), the lottery result in S502 is stored in the special symbol storage area in S504, and a predetermined number (for example, 3) of prize ball payout instructions are issued in S505. Go and return. If the number of special symbols held has reached 4 (YES in S503), a predetermined number (eg, 3) of prize ball payout instructions are issued in S505, and the process returns. Further, if neither of the start chuckers 12 and 13 (starting winning detectors 32 and 33) has detected a starting winning (NO in S501), the process immediately returns.

  Next, in S521 of FIG. 20, it is confirmed whether or not the number of special symbols held (the number of special symbol storage areas) is one or more. If there is a special symbol hold (YES in S521), it is checked in S522 whether both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are in a variable display. If both the special symbols are not in the variable display (NO in S522), it is determined in S523 whether the big hit flag is ON. If neither the first jackpot nor the second jackpot is activated (NO in S523), the oldest lottery result is called in S524, and it is confirmed in S525 whether the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner. If the first special symbol is not being displayed (NO in S525), the first special symbol variation processing subroutine (see FIG. 9) in S25 is executed and the process returns. If the first special symbol is being displayed in a variable manner (YES in S525), the second special symbol variation processing subroutine (see FIG. 11) in S35 is executed and the process returns.

  Also, when there is no special symbol hold (NO in S521), both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are being displayed in a variable manner (YES in S522), and the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S523). ) Immediately return (without executing any variation processing subroutine). That is, when there is no hold, when both symbol variations are performed, and when the jackpot is being hit, a new symbol variation is not started.

  In this embodiment, the processing following FIG. 20 is executed in the same manner as in FIG. 12 and FIG.

By the way, the following modifications may be added to the present embodiment.
(1) When the lottery result of the special symbol that is fluctuating at the time of occurrence of the big hit is out of the range, the fluctuation display may be terminated when the big hit occurs or during the big hit. As a result, it is possible to start from the variation display of the symbol newly drawn from the beginning after the jackpot.
(2) For special symbols that are changing at the time of jackpot occurrence, the change timer may be stopped simultaneously with the occurrence of the jackpot, and a new change timer may be set again after the jackpot ends. As a result, the variation time of the symbol variation after the jackpot ends is the same every time.
(3) The lottery means and the display control means may be independent from each other corresponding to the start winning opening and the variable display means.

(4) The jackpot generated by winning the first special symbol (first jackpot) may be different from the jackpot generated by winning the second special symbol (second jackpot). As an aspect to make it different, for example,
-Variable prize opening opened by jackpot;
・ Number of opening of variable prize opening;
・ Available number of prizes in the variable prize opening;
・ Number of winning balls for winning a variable prize opening;
-The number of times the probabilistic state and / or short-time state continues after the jackpot ends;
At least one of the above can be selected.

(5) In the first embodiment, the winning probabilities of the first lottery and the second lottery are made the same. However, by providing a plurality of jackpot determination tables, each lottery refers to a different jackpot determination table, so that the first The winning probabilities of the lottery and the second lottery may be different.
