Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, a program, and a recording medium that are installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  In a pachinko machine called a so-called digipachi, in each of a plurality of display areas, a plurality of types of identification information (special symbols) are variably displayed so as to be switched, and then the identification information is stopped and displayed. When the combination of identification information that is stopped and displayed in each becomes a special combination set in advance, a variable display game that generates a special gaming state that is a big hit and can acquire more game balls than the normal state Is provided.

Many pachinko gaming machines equipped with a large liquid crystal display device have been developed as the display device, and the display contents of the variable display game are characterized to enhance the interest of the player.
In addition, in order to make a variety of pachinko gaming machines, a game machine having a function as a so-called digipachi and a function as a so-called feather, and two variable display games in a digipachi can be performed in parallel. The game machine etc. which were made are developed (for example, refer patent document 1).

  In such a gaming machine, it is intended to provide a player with a new game through a combination of a variable display game and a game with feathers or a combination of two variable display games performed in parallel. The two variable display games here are not performed in parallel with the conventional special symbol variable display game and the normal symbol variable display game, but the special symbol variable display game. Two of them are performed in parallel, and a normal symbol variation display game may be performed.

JP 2003-62215 A

By the way, in the case where two variable display games are performed in parallel, the player pays attention to whether or not both of the two variable display games are hit, but the two variable display games are simply displayed in parallel. If the game is used only by playing the game, the gameplay is not changed so much as when each of the variable display games is viewed independently, and the player may get bored.
Therefore, it is necessary to link the two variable display games to create a new game, but at present, a gaming machine having a game characteristic greatly different from the conventional one using two variable display games has been developed. Absent.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and in the case where a lottery of whether or not to win each is independently performed based on the winning of each game ball at the two start winning ports, each lottery It is an object to provide a gaming machine, a program, and a recording medium having unprecedented gaming properties by adjusting the time until the result notification.

The invention according to claim 1 is a game board on which a game ball is launched;
A first start prize opening and a second start prize opening provided on the game board;
A first lottery means for executing a lottery for determining whether or not a game ball is won at the first start winning opening;
A second lottery means for executing a lottery for determining whether or not the game ball has won the second start winning opening;
First notifying means for notifying the result of the lottery at the timing when the notification time sequentially counted based on the execution of the lottery by the first lottery means ends;
Second notification means for notifying the result of the lottery at the timing when the notification time sequentially counted based on the execution of the lottery by the second lottery means ends;
A first advantageous state control means for generating a first advantageous state advantageous to the player over a predetermined period when either of the first and second notifying means is notified of the winning lottery result;
A lottery result notification timing determination means for determining the notification time for determining a timing for notifying the lottery result by the first and second notification means;
When a predetermined start condition is satisfied, a second advantageous state is generated in which the probability of winning the lottery result is higher in unit time than the normal state at the end of the first advantageous state, and the first advantageous state is generated. Second advantageous state control means for terminating the second advantageous state when a predetermined termination condition including occurrence of a state is satisfied;
In a gaming machine provided with notification control means for interrupting the measurement of the notification time during the first advantageous state and simultaneously permitting the measurement of the notification time in both the first and second notification means,
The lottery result notification opportunity determination means is in a state in which the notification time is not counted based on the execution of the lottery in which the result is successful in both the first and second notification means during the second advantageous state, and the first notification When one of the notification means and the second notification means starts counting the notification time based on the winning lottery, the notification time is set longer than the notification time determined during the normal state. ,
The lengthened notification time is set to be equal to or longer than a time during which the other notification means of the first notification means and the second notification means can notify the result of a plurality of lotteries including winning. And

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the second advantageous state, both the first and second notification means are in a state in which the notification time based on the execution of the lottery in which the result is successful is not counted, and the first When one of the notification means and the second notification means starts counting the notification time based on the winning lottery, the notification time is longer than the notification time determined during the normal state. Will do.

  Further, in the state in which the long notification time is counted based on the execution of the lottery in which one of the first notification unit and the second notification unit is successful, the first notification unit and the second notification unit The notification time counted based on the lottery execution in which the result is a win on the other side is not a long notification time.

Here, since the occurrence of the first advantageous state is included in the end condition of the second advantageous state, if the first advantageous state occurs when the lottery result hits during the second advantageous state, the second advantageous state May end.
However, in the present invention, during the second advantageous state, when the notification time based on the lottery that is won by only one of the first notification means or the second notification means is counted, the notification time is normally set. Since the notification time is longer than the notification time in this state, the occurrence of the first advantageous state is delayed by the length of the notification time. While the occurrence of the first advantageous state is delayed, that is, until the first advantageous state occurs, the second advantageous state does not end and the other lottery means corresponding to the other notification means The lottery in the second advantageous state with a higher probability of winning in the unit time will continue.

  That is, the second advantageous state is continued without ending only during a period in which the occurrence of the first advantageous state is delayed, and the probability of winning in the other lottery means is higher than in the normal state. In the state where the winning is confirmed, the possibility that the other lottery will generate a winning increases, so that the possibility of a consecutive resort that generates two hits within a short period can be increased.

The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1,
The lottery result notification opportunity determination means is configured to display the notification time counted by the first notification means and the second notification means during the second advantageous state when the lottery result is out of the normal state. While not more than the notification time determined by the lottery result notification trigger determination means,
In one of the first notifying means and the second notifying means, the lengthened notification time is counted based on the execution of the lottery in which the result is winning, and the winning lottery result is not yet informed. The notification time determined by the lottery result notification trigger determination unit during a normal state is set as the notification time measured based on the lottery execution in which the result is a win in the other of the first notification unit and the second notification unit. The notification time is set to be less than the time.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, as described above, in order to make it easy to generate a winning lottery by the other lottery means corresponding to the other informing means within a long informing time by the one informing means. It is preferable to make the notification time as long as possible and to shorten the notification time in the other notification means during the extended notification time as much as possible.

  Here, if the notification time is too long, after the lottery of one lottery means is determined to be winning, the first advantageous state based on that winning will not occur for a long time, and the winning is fixed. Despite the fact that the first advantageous state does not occur, the player may feel uncomfortable or the player who has no time may quit the game.

  Therefore, in the second advantageous state, when both of the notification means are shifted, the notification time is shortened, so that the time of notification by the other notification means is increased with respect to the longer notification time measured by one of the notification means. The probability per unit time that the lottery by the other lottery means is won by increasing the number of lotteries by the other lottery means within the lengthened notification time by shortening the notice time in the case of the passing To increase. As a result, it is possible to increase the probability of occurrence of the extended resort during the second advantageous state as described above without excessively increasing the notification time of the person whose winning is determined first.

  Also, when the notification time is counted based on the lottery that is won by the other notification means while the notification time lengthened by one notification means is being measured, the notification time per hit is also shortened. By this, it is possible to increase the probability of first generating the first advantageous state based on the hit that occurred later by ending the timing of the notification time based on the hit that occurred later before the extended notification time ends. . As a result, there is a possibility that the other lottery means will win within the extended notification time.

The invention according to claim 3 is a game board on which a game ball is fired,
A first start prize opening and a second start prize opening provided on the game board;
A first lottery means for executing a lottery for determining whether or not a game ball is won at the first start winning opening;

First notifying means for notifying the result of the lottery at the timing when the notification time sequentially counted based on the execution of the lottery by the first lottery means ends;
Second notification means for notifying the result of the lottery at the timing when the notification time sequentially counted based on the execution of the lottery by the second lottery means ends;
A first advantageous state control means for generating a first advantageous state advantageous to the player over a predetermined period when either of the first and second notifying means is notified of the winning lottery result;
A lottery result notification timing determination means for determining the notification time for determining a timing for notifying the lottery result by the first and second notification means;
When a predetermined start condition is satisfied, a second advantageous state is generated in which the probability of winning the lottery result is higher in unit time than the normal state at the end of the first advantageous state, and the first advantageous state is generated. Second advantageous state control means for terminating the second advantageous state when a predetermined termination condition including occurrence of a state is satisfied;
In a program for simulating a game in a gaming machine provided with notification control means for interrupting timing of notification time during the first advantageous state and simultaneously permitting measurement of notification time in both the first and second notification means ,
During the second advantageous state, both the first and second notification means are in a state in which the notification time is not counted based on the execution of the lottery where the result is a win, and the first notification means and the second notification means When the time of the notification time based on the execution of the lottery that is won by one notification means is started, the notification time is longer than the notification time determined during the normal state,
The said lottery result which makes the said alerting | reporting time lengthened more than the time when the other alerting | reporting means of the said 1st alerting | reporting means and the 2nd alerting | reporting means can alert | report the result of the lottery of multiple times including a win. A computer is made to function as a notification opportunity determination means.

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the two lotteries performed based on the winning of the game balls at the two start winning slots are combined, and the lottery result is notified from the determination of the lottery result and the next lottery. By controlling the notification time related to the start of the determination of the result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine having new gaming properties.
For example, during the second advantageous state, it is possible to make it easy to generate a long-awaited resort that hits twice or more in a short time.

  Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a gaming machine (for example, a ball) that is installed in a place such as a game machine-installed store and that allows a player to play a game based on supply of gaming media (for example, a gaming ball or medal). The configuration and operation of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine will be described.

A pachinko gaming machine has a basic configuration as a so-called digipachi pachinko gaming machine, and includes a gaming board 1 shown in FIG. 1 and is surrounded by a guide rail 2 and the like on the front of the gaming board 1 A game area 2a is formed.
A variable display device (decorative symbol display device) 3 is provided in the game area 2 a on the surface of the game board 1 slightly above the center. The variable display device 3 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and displays a lottery result that is out of the lottery performed by the main controller 231 (to be described later) functioning as a lottery means. A variation display game is displayed, and the lottery result is displayed when the variation display game is missed.

  A variation display game is basically a well-known game, for example, a plurality of decorative symbols (identification information) such as numbers are displayed in a variable manner so as to be switched in a plurality of display areas, and a variation in a variation pattern determined in advance by lottery. When the display time has elapsed, the variable display is terminated, and one decorative symbol is stopped and displayed in each display area, and the combination of the stopped decorative symbols is a special combination. In this case, a special gaming state described later is generated. The variable display device 3 is not limited to the liquid crystal display device, and various known display devices can be used. In many cases, the decorative design includes various characters (characters such as unique characters, existing animations, and talents) and is also referred to as a character diagram.

  Further, in the variable display device 3, not only the decorative symbols are sequentially switched and displayed in the above-mentioned display of the variable display game, but also various stunning displays are performed, and characters and other characters related to the decorative symbols are displayed. Animation display is also performed. In this example, two variable display games using special symbols (special symbols) as so-called identification information are displayed in parallel as will be described later. Two variable display games are played in parallel. Here, together with a later-described special display variable display game, one variable display game is hereinafter referred to as a first special figure game, and the other variable display game is referred to as a second special figure game.

  The display method in the variable display device 3 is not particularly limited. For example, in the first special game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in the plurality of display areas, and the second special game is In particular, it is possible to provide an effect of winning or losing after performing variable display at the corner of the variable display device 3 without providing a plurality of display areas. In addition, both of them may perform variable display of decorative symbols in a plurality of display areas as described above. Further, two variable display devices 3 may be provided, and the first special figure game may be performed on one variable display device 3 and the second special figure game may be performed on the other variable display device 3.

  The variable display device 3 is surrounded by a peripheral wall 31 that prevents the inflow of game balls. In addition, a game ball can jump and flow into the bottom portion of the peripheral wall 31 from below, and part of the flowed game ball is guided to a first start winning port 51 and a normal variation winning device 53 described later. A stage 32 is formed. In addition, the peripheral wall 31 includes, for example, an inflow port for game balls provided on the outside of the side portion, an outflow port for flowing out the game balls toward the stage 32, and a flow path connected to the outflow port from the inflow port. A part of a game ball flowing down around the peripheral wall 31 is guided to the stage 32.

  Below the right side of the variable display device 3, first and second special figure displays 4a and 4b are provided. The first and second special symbol displays 4a and 4b are each composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED display device, and variably display special symbols (identification information) in the same manner as the above-mentioned decorative symbols. However, the first and second special-figure indicators 4a and 4b do not perform a stunning display like the variable display device 3, but simply switch and display special symbols (special figures) in sequence, respectively. After the display time elapses, the special symbol is stopped and displayed, and whether the special symbol displayed in a stopped state is a predetermined winning special symbol or a special symbol that is out of touch is notified of the hit or miss.

Further, the first special symbol game with the decorative symbol performed on the variable display device 3 corresponds to the first special graphic game with the special symbol performed on the first special symbol display 4a, and the decorative symbol performed on the variable display device 3 The second special figure game corresponds to a second special figure game with a special symbol performed on the second special figure display 4b.
That is, the first special figure game is displayed as the first variable display game of the decorative symbol of the variable display device 3 and is displayed as the first variable display game of the special symbol of the first special figure indicator 4a. The 1-variable display game is a game that has the same result of notifying each of the results of one first lottery performed by the main control device 231 described later.

The second special figure game is displayed as a second variation display game of the decorative symbol of the variable display device 3 and is displayed as a second variation display game of the special symbol of the second special symbol display 4b. The two-variable display game is a game that has the same result of notifying each of the results of one second lottery performed by the main control device 231 described later.
That is, the variable display game that informs the result of the winning lottery performed in the main controller 231 as the first special figure game (first lottery) and the second special figure game (second lottery) will entertain the player. Are displayed separately for a game with a decorative pattern and a game with a special figure that only informs the result.

  In addition, the decorative symbol game on the variable display device 3 and the special symbol game on the special symbol display devices 4a and 4b are performed almost simultaneously, and the winning lottery results displayed are the same as described above. Become. In the variable display device 3 and the special figure displays 4a and 4b, the variable display time (the time between the start timing and the stop timing of the variable display is the notification time of the present invention) is substantially the same.

A first start winning opening 51 is provided directly below the variable display device 3. The first start winning port 51 determines the winning and losing of the first special figure game based on the winning of the game ball to the main control device 231 that functions as the first lottery means for performing the lottery for determining the winning losing. An opportunity to start the first lottery (an opportunity to start the variable display game) is given.

In a normal state, the movable pieces 54 and 54 are closed with an interval that allows only one game ball to flow down, and the result of a normal symbol variation display game (ordinary variation display game) described later is a hit. In such a case, the two movable pieces 54 are opened for a preset time. However, in this example, since the game nail 16 is disposed immediately above the position between the movable pieces 54 and 54 in the closed state, the game is played with the pair of movable pieces 54 and 54 closed. It is impossible to win a ball.

In other words, the normal variation winning device 53 is in a closed closed state where no game ball is won, and the game ball is guided to the pair of movable pieces 54, 54, so that the first start winning opening without the above-mentioned electric chew is provided. From 51, the game ball fluctuates between an open and closed state in which a game ball is easy to win.
In addition, the second start winning opening 55 is based on the fact that the game ball wins the main control device 231 that functions as a second lottery means for performing a lottery for determining the winning of the second special figure game as will be described later. An opportunity to start the second lottery (an opportunity to start the variable display game) for determining whether or not to win the second special figure game is given.
The second start winning opening 55 is provided with a second start winning ball detection sensor 56 that detects a winning of a game ball to the second start winning opening 55.

The start winning ball detection sensor 52 detects the start of the first special figure game (first lottery), the game ball wins the second start winning port 55, and the second start winning ball detection sensor. By being detected at 56, an opportunity to start the second special figure game (second lottery) is given.

  Further, a first special figure reservation number display lamp 7 a and a second special figure reservation number display lamp 7 b are provided on the front surface of the upper side portion of the peripheral wall of the variable display device 3. Then, when the first start winning ball detection sensor 52 detects a game ball won in the first start winning port 51 in the first special figure game as the variable display game, it is within a range of an upper limit (for example, 4). 1 is added to the first special figure starting memory number, and the first special figure game (the first special figure game of both the decorative symbol and the special symbol) is started based on the starting prize. One is subtracted from the starting memory number. The first special figure start memorized number, that is, the number of triggers (start right) for starting the first special figure game is displayed on the first special figure hold number display lamp 7a.

  Similarly, a range of a numerical value (for example, 4) that becomes an upper limit when the second starting winning ball detection sensor 56 detects a game ball that has won the second starting winning port 55 in the first special figure game as the variable display game. 1 is added to the number stored in the second special figure start, and the second special figure start is started when the variable display game (the first special figure game of both the decorative design and the special design) is started based on the start winning. One is subtracted from the stored number. The second special figure start memorized number, that is, the number of triggers (start right) for starting the second special figure game is displayed on the second special figure hold number display lamp 7b.

  A special variable winning device 8 is provided below the variable display device 3 and further below the normal variable winning device 53. A special variable winning device 8 called an attacker is provided with a winning ball 83 that is larger than the other winning ports and a movable door 81 that opens and closes the large winning port 83, so that a game ball is won. Is a closed state in which the movable door 81 is closed so as not to allow game balls to flow in, and when the result of the variable display game is a win (a special game state (first advantageous state) as a big hit state based on a win) When it is started), the game ball is opened so that the game ball can easily flow in based on a predetermined condition, and the opening and closing are repeated as will be described later. In other words, the special variable winning device 8 can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a game ball cannot win.

A special winning ball detection sensor 82 for detecting a game ball won in the special winning port 83 is provided in the special winning port 83 of the special variable winning device 8.
In addition, the special variable winning device 8 whose driving source is controlled by the main control device 231 wins a predetermined time and a predetermined number of game balls when released in response to the winning of the variable display game. When one of the two conditions is fulfilled, the block is closed, and the block is opened again, and is controlled to repeat blocking a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds) based on the establishment of the above condition. . The period from when the special variable winning device 8 is opened until it is closed is referred to as a round. That is, the main control device 231 sets the special variable prize-winning device 8 to the closed state after the special variable prize-winning device 8 is in an open state in which a plurality of game balls can be continuously won. The special variable winning device 8 is controlled so as to repeat a predetermined number of times.

Further, a passing ball detection sensor 91 that detects a game ball that has passed through the general drawing starting ports 9 and 9 is provided corresponding to the normal drawing starting ports 9 and 9, and the passing ball detection sensor 91 detects the gaming ball. That is, based on the fact that the game ball passes (wins) through the ordinary figure starting port 9, a later-described ordinary symbol variation display game (hereinafter referred to as ordinary figure game) is changed to a later-described ordinary symbol (ordinary figure) display device (LED). The display device 6 is given an opportunity to display.

  The universal map display device 6 that displays the universal map variable display game, for example, performs a variable display by alternately turning on and off a circle mark and a cross mark that are turned on and off by an LED. A round mark is lit, and a cross mark is lit when there is a loss. It is assumed that the normal figure display device 6 is composed of a 7-segment LED display device, and the numerical value as a normal symbol is sequentially switched and displayed in a variable manner, and then one numerical value is stopped and displayed, and the numerical value that is stopped and displayed is 7 or the like in advance. If the hit value is determined, it may be a win. Note that the result of the hit failure is determined by lottery by the main controller 231.

  Under the above-mentioned general map display device 6, a general map hold number display lamp 10 is provided. When the game ball passes through the normal start port 9 in the normal symbol variation display game (when the passing ball detection sensor 91 outputs detection of the game ball), the upper limit is set to a numerical value (for example, 4). One is added to the starting memory number, and when the usual figure change display game is started, a process of subtracting 1 from the usual figure starting memory number is performed. The normal figure start memory number is displayed on the normal figure hold number display lamp 10.

  Then, as described above, when the normal variation display game is won, the normal variation winning device 53 is opened, and the winning rate of the game balls to the normal variation winning device 53 is increased. Start opportunities are increasing.

Control to issue.

  The main control device 231 is connected with a normal variation solenoid 242 for driving the movable pieces 54 and 54 of the above-described normal variation prize winning device 53 and a special variation solenoid for driving the movable door 81 of the special variation prize winning device 8. 241 is connected, and these solenoids are controlled by the main controller 231.

  In addition, the main control unit 23 is not directly connected to the main control device 231, but includes a launch control device 236 that controls a launch drive device 235 of a hitting ball launcher (not shown) that launches a game ball into the game area 2a. The launch control device 236 is connected to a rotary operation handle 237 for operating the launch of a game ball, a launch stop button 238, and a touch sensor 239.

  The main control unit 231 of the main control unit 23 controls the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine, and includes a first start winning ball detection sensor 52, a second starting winning ball detection sensor 56, and a big winning ball detection sensor 82. When a game ball detection signal is input from the general winning ball detection sensor 131, that is, when a gaming ball wins at each winning opening, a command is output to the payout control device 25, and the gaming ball is detected as a winning ball. Let the discharge occur.

  In addition, the main control device 231 performs the process of adding the above-mentioned usual figure start memory number when the detection signal of the game ball is inputted from the passing ball detection sensor 91, and also determines the winning of the usual figure game. The random number used in the process is acquired, and the usual figure change display game is started. At this time, the lottery process determines the hit of the usual game, and outputs a command to the symbol control device 26, the lamp control device 27, and the voice control device 28 for display of the usual game, notification of the result, and production. .

  The main controller 231 performs the process of adding the first special figure start memory number when the game ball detection signal is input from the first start winning ball detection sensor 52, and the first special figure game. Random numbers used in the first lottery process for determining whether or not to win are obtained, and the first special game is started. At this time, by the first lottery process, the winning of the first special figure game is determined, the first special figure display 4a is controlled to display the first variation display game of the special figure, and the first of the decorative symbols is displayed. Commands are output to the symbol control device 26, the lamp control device 27, the voice control device 28, etc. for display of the variable display game, notification of results, and production.

  Similarly, when the game ball detection signal is input from the second start winning ball detection sensor 56, the main control device 231 performs the process of adding the above-described second special figure start memory number and the second special figure. A random number used in the second lottery process for determining a game hit is obtained, and the second special game is started. At this time, by the second lottery process, the winning of the second special figure game is determined, the second special figure display 4b is controlled to display the second variable display game of the special figure, and the second of the decorative symbols is displayed. Commands are output to the symbol control device 26, the lamp control device 27, the voice control device 28, etc. for display of the variable display game, notification of results, and production.

  That is, the main control device 231 functions as first and second lottery means for performing first and second lotteries that are not successful. It is to be noted that, when a game ball detection signal is input from the first and second starting winning ball detection sensors 56 and 52, a hit determination random number for determining a hit or failure in the above-described first and second special figure games. In addition to acquiring the display mode, the first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b are stopped and displayed at the end of the first and second variable display games of the special figure (the special symbols to be stopped and displayed) The random number (design random number) for determining a special symbol for determining the symbol type) by symbol lottery is acquired.

  In the first special figure game, the start condition is that the first special figure start memory number is 1 or more based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 51, the special game state (first It is necessary that all three of being not in an advantageous state) and not being in the first special figure game are established. Similarly, in the first special figure game, the start condition is that the second special figure start memory number is 1 or more based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 55, and the special game state is not in effect. That is, all three things that are not in the second special game need to be established.

  That is, the first special figure game starts when the previous first special figure game ends, and the second special figure game starts when the previous second special figure game ends. Therefore, a plurality of first special figure games are not performed in parallel, one by one, and a plurality of second special figure games are not performed in parallel, and are performed one by one. However, since the first special figure game and the second special figure game are controlled individually and independently, the first special figure game and the second special figure game can be performed simultaneously in parallel. Yes. In this example, the lottery probability for winning the first special figure game is equal to the lottery probability for winning the second special figure game.

  The lengths of the first and second special figure games are first and second variable display times (first and second variable display times) that are periods during which the first and second special figures (first and second decorative symbols) are variably displayed. Second notification time), and a fixed display time for displaying the first and second special symbols (first and second decorative symbols) as stop symbols fixed and displayed to the player after the variable display time has elapsed. It is a combination.

  The first and second variable display times (first and second notification times) are basically determined by lottery, but in this example, the first and second variable display times are determined as described below. It is different from the conventional part. The fixed display time may be determined by lottery, or may be changed based on the winning or losing of the lottery, but here the fixed display time is constant.

As described above, when the game ball detection signals are input from the first and second starting winning ball detection sensors 52 and 56, the variable display times of the first and second special figure games are determined. A random number for determining the lottery is acquired. In the main controller 231, the first and second variation display times are data included in the basic variation pattern, and are determined by selecting one basic variation pattern from a plurality of types of basic variation patterns.
That is, the main control device 231 serves as a lottery result notification trigger determination unit that determines the first notification time as the variable display time of the first special figure game and the second notification time as the variable display time of the second special figure game. Function.

Further, main controller 231 determines the first and second special figure game to be started off based on the acquired random number at the start of the first special figure game and the second special figure game. At the same time, corresponding to the winning lottery result, stop symbols to be displayed as the lottery results of the first and second special figure games are determined by lottery, and the above-described variable display time is determined by lottery corresponding to these results. The basic variation pattern including is determined.
In addition, the main control device 231 performs the first special figure game and the second special figure game in parallel, and in the special gaming state (first advantageous state), as described above, the first special figure game and the second special figure game. When the special game is not started and the other special game is being played while the special game state is based on one of the first special game and the second special game, It functions as a notification control means for interrupting the timing of the variable display time of the special figure game (stopping the variable display time). During the suspension of the variable display time, the variable display on the variable display device 3 of the special figure game is not performed. In addition, the fluctuation display of the first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b is also interrupted.

  Then, the main controller 231 wins the result of either the first special drawing game or the second special drawing game, that is, the result of either the first lottery or the second lottery. In this case, the above-described special gaming state (first advantageous state) is generated. That is, the main control device 231 controls the drive source (special variation solenoid 241) of the movable door 81 of the special variation winning device 8 to change the special variation winning device 8 from the closed state to the opened state based on a predetermined condition. Control is performed to cause the above-described special gaming state (first advantageous state) to be generated and ended. That is, the main controller 231 functions as first advantageous state control means.

Further, the main control device 231 determines whether or not to generate a so-called certainty change state (second advantageous state) after the special gaming state ends. In this example, the pachinko gaming machine is a digital patch having a normal probability changing function. Then, when a special game state occurs in the first special game or the second special game, whether or not to make a certain change after the special game state is an opportunity for the occurrence of this special game state. The special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display 4a or the second special figure display 4b at the end of the first special figure game or the second special figure game is determined.
In other words, special symbols include outlier special symbols and winning special symbols, and the winning special symbols include normal special symbols and special symbols with certainty that become certain after a special gaming state. In the special symbol game, if a special symbol of probability variation is determined by lottery as a stop symbol, probability variation will occur. Therefore, whether or not the probability change is generated is determined by the main controller 231 that determines the stop symbol by lottery.
Therefore, the main controller 231 functions as a second advantageous state control unit that controls the occurrence of the probability variation state (second advantageous state).

  Further, the main control device 231 controls the drive source (normal variation solenoid 242) of the movable pieces 54 and 54 of the normal variation winning device 53 to control the normal variation winning device 53 when the normal game is won. Control is performed from the closed first state to the opened second state.

Here, the above-described probability change state is a state in which, for example, the general game and the first and second special game are performed under the following conditions.
First, in the usual game, the following control is performed.
1. The normal map change display time from the start to the end of the general map game (the time that is changed and displayed so that the normal map is switched sequentially (the general map notification time)) and the general map fixed display time (the normal map game display time) One game is processed for each game time consisting of the time when the stopped general map is displayed in a finalized state). By shortening the (display time), the number of executions of the usual game per unit time is increased from the normal state (the state that is neither the probability variation state nor the special game state). That is, the game time is shortened.

2. The lottery probability for winning the usual game is set to a high probability state higher than the normal state.
3. When the normal game is won and the normally variable winning device is opened, the opening time is made longer than the normal state (in this case, the number of times of opening per win may be increased).

  In the probability variation state, it is assumed that the probability of winning the ordinary game in 2 is not increased by increasing the number of times of execution of the ordinary game per unit time in 1 from the normal state. Also good.

  In addition, the control of the first special figure game (first lottery) and the second special figure game (second lottery) in the probability changing state is higher than the normal state in which the first and second special figure games are won. (For example, about 5 to 10 times). Further, in the present invention, in the probability variation state, a process different from the conventional process is performed in the process of determining the variable display time (notification time) of the first special figure game and the second special figure game.

  Note that the number of winnings per unit time of the game ball to the second start winning opening 55 that triggers the start of the second special figure game is not in the probability variation state in the probability variation state due to the processing of the above-described ordinary game. The number of times of execution of the second special figure game per unit time is extremely larger than that in the normal state.

  However, in the first special figure game, the number of winnings per unit time of the game ball to the first start winning opening 51 does not change between the normal state and the probability variation state. Is not significantly different from the normal state in the probability variation state.

The symbol control device 26 of the sub-control unit 24 controls the variable display device 3 and the universal display device (LED display device) 6, and the variable display device 3 is connected via the video display processor 261. Has been. In addition, the variable display device 3 has a variable display time (first and second notification time) after the first special figure game and the second special figure game are started as the first and second special figure games described above. When this is done, the result of the first and second lotteries described above of the main controller 231 is notified, and functions as first and second notification means.
In addition, the result of a win / fail game in the normal map display device 6 is also determined by a lottery process performed by the main control device 231, and the display is controlled based on the result.

The lamp control device 27 of the sub-control unit 24 is provided on the front frame that supports the board-related electrical decoration (LED) 271 provided on the board surface of the gaming board 1 and the gaming board 1 of the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, a frame door-related electrical decoration 272 such as a glass frame that covers the front surface of the game board 1 is connected to control the effects of LEDs, lamps, and the like.
The lamp control device 27 is connected to the first good second special figure hold number display lamps 7a and 7b and the universal figure hold number display lamp 10, which control the turn-on / off of the LED to control the number of hold. It can be displayed.

  The sound control device 28 is connected to a sound generation device 281 including a sound processor, an amplifier, a speaker, and the like, and the sound control device 28 controls output of effect sound, voice, music, and the like for production.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine has a gaming board 1 on which a game ball is launched, a first starting winning port 51 and a second starting winning port 55 provided on the gaming board, and a first starting winning port 51. The first lottery means (main control device 231) for executing the first lottery (first special figure game) for determining whether or not the game ball is won in the first win and the second start winning port 55 Second lottery means (main control device 231) for executing a second lottery (second special drawing game) for determining a win and a loss based on winning, and sequentially based on execution of the first lottery by the first lottery means First notification means (main control device 231, first special figure display 4 a, variable display device 3) for notifying the result of the first lottery at the timing when the timed first notification time (first variation display time) ends. And based on the execution of the second lottery by the second lottery means Second notification means (main control device 231, second special figure display 4 b, variable display device) that notifies the result of the second lottery at the timing when the second notification time (second variation display time) sequentially counted ends. 3).

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine has a first advantageous state (special gaming state) advantageous to the player for a predetermined period when either of the first and second notifying means is notified of the winning lottery result. The first advantageous state control means (main control device 231) to be generated, and the lottery result notification for determining the first and second notification times (variable display times) for determining the timing for notifying the lottery results of the first and second lotteries. The timing determination means (main control device 231) and the timing of the first and second notification times during the first advantageous state (special game state) are interrupted (the first special game and the second special game are interrupted). And a notification control means (main control device 231) for permitting the time measurement of both the first and second notification times (progress of both the first special figure game and the second special figure game) at the same time.

  In addition, when a predetermined start condition is satisfied (when the special symbol that is a winning stop symbol in the first or second special symbol game is a special symbol for the probability variation state), the first advantageous state ( At the end of the special gaming state), a second advantageous state (probability variation state) is generated with a higher probability that the result of the first and second lottery wins in a unit time than in the normal state. Second advantageous state control means is provided for terminating the second advantageous state when a predetermined termination condition including occurrence is satisfied.

  Below, the 1st and 2nd fluctuation display time (the 1st and 2nd special figure game time which consists of a fluctuation display time and a fixed display time) as the 1st and 2nd information time of the 1st and 2nd special figure game is shown. The game time determination process to be determined will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This game time determination process is a process that is repeatedly performed by the main control device 231 every very short period.

  In addition, the variable display time of the first special figure game and the second special figure game to be started is determined by this process. In the determination of the variable display time of the first special figure game, the first start winning opening 51 is determined. A random number for determining the first variation display time acquired when a game ball wins and a signal is input from the first start winning ball detection sensor 52 to the main controller 231 is used. Further, in determining the variation display time of the second special figure game, when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 55 and a signal is input from the second start winning ball detection sensor 56 to the main controller 231. The obtained random number for determining the second variation display time is used.

Then, when the first special figure game and the second special figure game are started, the variable display time is determined using a data table in which the random number for determining the variable display time is associated with the variable display time. It has become. The data table is provided corresponding to a plurality of situations as follows.
As one of the situations, when the first and second special figure starting memorization numbers are the upper limit value (for example, 4) or the upper limit value and its vicinity (for example, 4, 3), the first and second values that are out of place Although the process of shortening the variable display time of the second special figure game may be performed, here, it is assumed that such a process is not performed.

First, it is determined whether or not the first special figure game or the second special figure game is started (step S1).
The first special figure game (second special figure game) is the first special figure game when the first special figure start memory number (second special figure start memory number) is 1 or more and is not in the special game state. It is started when it is not medium (during the second special figure game). That is, when it is not in the special gaming state, when the first special figure start memory number (second special figure start memory number) is 1 or more and the previous first special figure game (second special figure game) is finished, When the first special figure starting memory number (second special figure starting memory number) is changed from 0 to 1 in a state that is not during the first special figure game (during the second special figure game), the first special figure game (first 2 special figure game) is started.

Then, when both the first and second special game are not started, the process is ended.
If it has been started, it is next determined whether or not it is in the probability variation state (step S2).
If it is not in the certain change state, it is determined whether or not it is the first special figure game to be started next (step S3).
If the first special figure game is started, it is next determined whether or not the result of the first special figure game is successful (step S4).
Note that the lottery results of the first special figure game and the second special figure game are compared with the random numbers acquired as described above for the determination of the lottery and the winning and losing data tables at the start of these games. Is determined by In addition, there are two types of data tables, one for probability variation and the other for normal state. Each of them has a big value for judgment (the number for judgment is higher for normal variation than for normal state. Is registered). Then, the obtained random number and the numerical value for determination in the data table are compared, and if they match, the lottery result is a win, and if they do not match, they are shifted.

  In the case of winning, the first data table for determining the variable display time is used, the variable display time corresponding to the random number for the variable display time is extracted from the first data table, and the variable display time is calculated. Determine (step S5).

  The variable display time registered in the first data table is, for example, about 2 seconds to 2 minutes, and the ratio of the long variable display time of 5 seconds or more is larger than the variable display time of less than that. It has become a thing. That is, in the case of winning, since it reaches after reaching the reach state, it is easy to select a long variable display time in order to display with the reach effect on the variable display device 3. In addition, the variable display time of 20 seconds to 2 minutes is relatively increased for super reach and premium reach.

  In the case of a loss, the second data table for determining the variable display time is used, the variable display time corresponding to the random number for the variable display time is extracted from the second data table, and the variable display time is calculated. Determine (step S6).

  The variable display time registered in the second data table is, for example, about 2 seconds to 2 minutes, and the ratio of the variable display time of 5 seconds or less is longer than the longer variable display time. It has become. In other words, when the game is lost, the game is a variable display game of 5 seconds or less with a low possibility of reaching and almost no reach effect. In addition, in the case of a reach even if it is off, there is a high possibility that a variable display time with a long reach effect of 5 seconds or more will be selected.

When it is determined that the second special figure game is started in step S3, it is next determined whether or not the result of the second special figure game is successful (step S7).
In the case of winning, the third data table for determining the variable display time is used, the variable display time corresponding to the random number for the variable display time is extracted from the third data table, and the variable display time is calculated. Determine (step S8).
The third data table is almost the same as the first table.

In the case of a deviation, the fourth data table for determining the variable display time is used, the variable display time corresponding to the random number for the variable display time is extracted from the fourth data table, and the variable display time is calculated. Determine (step S9).
The fourth data table is almost the same as the second table.
Note that the variable display time in the normal state may be basically the same as that of any model of conventional pachinko gaming machines.

If it is determined in step S2 that the probability change state is established, it is determined whether or not the next special game is started (step S10).
If the first special figure game is started, it is then determined whether or not the result of the first special figure game is successful (step S11).

In the case of winning, the state of the second special figure game, which is another special figure game, is confirmed with respect to the first special figure game. It is determined whether or not it is being displayed (or during variable display and final display, that is, during a game) (step S12).
Then, if the second special figure game is not in the variable display to be won, the fifth data table for determining the variable display time is used, and the variable display time corresponding to the random number for the variable display time is set to the fifth. Extracted from the data table to determine the variable display time (step S13).

  The variable display time registered in the fifth data table is, for example, about 5 to 10 minutes. That is, in the probability variation state, a variation display time that is longer than the longest variation display time in the normal state of the first special figure game (including the second special figure game), for example, twice or more is applied. Therefore, if the first special figure game is won in a state where the variation display that is a hit in the second special figure game is not performed during the probability change, the variable display game with a very long reach effect is started. .

  Note that, in the determination in step S12, when the second special figure game is being displayed as a winning variation display, since the final display is not included, the winning second special figure game is confirmed and displayed. In the case of the state immediately before the game, the long variable display time is selected as described above as the first special figure game to be won, but when the second special figure game is in the winning game, Even when the second special figure game is about to end, a short variable display time is selected as described later without selecting a long variable display time because the second special figure game has not ended. Anyway, in this case, the special game state due to the first special figure game and the special game state due to the second special figure game will occur in close proximity. May also be determined during the game.

  Then, if the first special figure game started during the probability change in step S11 is out of place and the first special figure game started during the probability change in step S11, and the second special figure game has already been made in step S12. When the game is performing a variable display that is a win, the sixth data table for determining the variable display time is used, and the variable display time corresponding to the random number for the variable display time is extracted from the sixth data table. Then, the variable display time is determined (step S14).

  Further, the variable display time registered in the sixth data table is, for example, 0.5 second to 2 seconds. That is, the variable display time registered in the sixth table is equal to or shorter than the shortest variable display time in the normal state. Therefore, in this case, even if the first special figure game is won, a long reach effect is not performed, and the game is immediately ended and a special gaming state is entered.

If it is determined that the second special figure game is started in step S10, it is next determined whether or not the result of the second special figure game is successful (step S15).
In the case of winning, the state of the first special figure game, which is another special figure game, is confirmed with respect to the second special figure game. It is determined whether or not it is being displayed (or during variable display and final display, that is, during a game) (step S16).
Then, when the first special figure game is not in the variation display to be won, the seventh data table for determining the variation display time is used, and the variation display time corresponding to the random number for the variation display time is set to the seventh. Extracted from the data table to determine the variable display time (step S17).

  The variable display time registered in the seventh data table is, for example, about 5 to 10 minutes. That is, in the probability variation state, a variation display time that is longer than the longest variation display time in the normal state of the second special figure game (including the first special figure game), for example, twice or more is applied. Therefore, if the second special figure game is won in the state where the variable display that is won in the first special figure game is not performed during the probability change, the variable display game with a very long reach effect is started. .

  Then, if the second special figure game started during the probability change in step S15 is out of place and the first special figure game started during the probability change in step S15, and the first special figure game has already been made in step S16. When the game is performing a variable display that is a hit, the eighth data table for determining the variable display time is used, and the variable display time corresponding to the random number for the variable display time is extracted from the eighth data table. Then, the variable display time is determined (step S18).

  Further, the variable display time registered in the eighth data table is, for example, 0.5 second to 2 seconds. That is, the variable display time registered in the eighth table is equal to or shorter than the shortest variable display time in the normal state in the first and second special figure games. Therefore, in this case, even if the second special figure game is won, a long reach effect is not performed, and the game ends immediately and a special gaming state occurs.

  From the above processing, the main control device 231 serving as the lottery result notification opportunity determination means, during the second advantageous state (probability change), the first and second notification means (first and second special figure indicators 4a, 4b and variable). Both the display devices 3) are in a state where the notification time (variable display time) based on the execution of the lottery in which the result is a win is not counted (a state in which the win is not in the variable display), and the first notification means and the first 2 When the time of notification time (variable display in a special figure game) based on the lottery that is won by one of the notification means is started, the notification time is determined during a normal state. The time during which the other notification means of the first notification means and the second notification means can notify the result of a plurality of lotteries including the winning for the notification time that is longer and longer than the notification time. Or more It becomes door.

  The main control device 231 serving as the lottery result notification trigger determination means determines the notification time counted by the first notification means and the second notification means during the second advantageous state (probability change), as a result of the lottery. In the case of losing, the lottery whose time is equal to or less than the notification time determined by the lottery result notification trigger determination unit during a normal state, and the result is win in one of the first notification unit and the second notification unit Based on the execution of the above, the extended notification time is timed (during the variable display of the special game with the variable display time extended), and the winning lottery result has not been notified yet (before confirmation display) Thus, the other of the first notification means and the second notification means is notified based on the execution of the lottery in which the result is a win (during a special game of one of the long variable display times to be win). And the other variable display time of JP diagram game) made, will be a broadcast time determined equal to or less than the notification time, the lottery result notification trigger determining unit during normal conditions.

  In the above process, the variable display time registered in the fifth and seventh data tables is set to one variable display time from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, for example, so that the other special game is changed during the probability change. The variable display time of the special figure game that is started when the winning variable display is not in progress may be fixed. That is, in this case, the variable display time may be always 5 minutes. In this case, the variable display time fixed in the fifth data table and the variable display time fixed in the seventh data table may be the same or different.

  Similarly, in the above process, the variable display time registered in the sixth and eighth data tables is set to one variable display time from 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds, for example, and is started during the probability change. It is possible to fix the variable display time of the special figure game that will be a hit when the special figure game that is out of place and the other special figure game during the probability change is being displayed. That is, in this case, the variable display time may be always 2 seconds. In this case, the variable display time fixed in the sixth data table and the variable display time fixed in the eighth data table may be the same or different.

  As described above, since the second special figure game is more likely to occur than the first special figure game during the probability change, based on this, for example, the first special figure having a long variable display time is used. The first special figure game with a short variable display time that can be executed during the second special figure game with a long variable display time and the average number of times of the second special figure game with a short variable display time that can be executed during the figure game In order to approximate the average of the number of times, the variable display time registered in the seventh data table may be made relatively longer than the variable display time registered in the fifth data table.

  In this case as well, one variable display time may be selected from a plurality of variable display times by a long variable display lottery, or the variable display time may be fixed depending on the situation as described above.

  As a result of the above processing, for example, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 5 (FIG. 6), for example, after a win that becomes a certain change occurs in the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the special game state ends. When the winning first special figure game (second special figure game) is started in the state of being probabilistic, the situation of the second special figure game (first special figure game) is seen, When the second special figure game (the first special figure game) is not changing, for example, the fluctuation display time of the first special figure game (the second special figure game) is set to be as long as 5 to 10 minutes. .

  During this time, even if the first special figure game (second special figure game) to be won is not a special symbol with a certain change, for example, a normal special symbol where the special special symbol is stopped and displayed, a long variation display time is required. Since there is time until the special gaming state occurs, the probability variation state is extended, and during this time, for example, the second special figure that is repeatedly performed with a short variation display time of 0.5 seconds to 2.0 seconds, for example. The probability that the game (the first special figure game) is won is high. In addition, even if the 1st start winning opening 51 which gives the opportunity to start the 1st special figure game does not have a high winning rate even in the probability variation state, and the variation display time is shortened, There is a possibility that the number of winning game balls at the first start winning opening 51 becomes a bottleneck and does not increase so much.

  While the first special figure game (second special figure game) to be won is a normal hit or a probable hit, the first special figure game (second special figure game) is being executed. Since the probability variation state is maintained, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 5 (FIG. 6) while the first special figure game (second special figure game) having a long fluctuation display time is being performed, There is a possibility that the second special figure game (first special figure game) is a hit.

Here, in the game of a pachinko machine called a so-called digipachi, the player is very much looking forward to the occurrence of a special gaming state multiple times in a short period of time. In a gaming machine that performs two special-figure games in parallel, the two special-figure games come and go in spite of the fact that two special-figure games are played, and the special gaming state is repeated several times in a short period of time. The probability of occurrence was not necessarily high. However, according to the present invention, as described above, it is possible to increase the possibility that two special figure games will be hit in a short period of time, and to increase the player's sense of expectation for the game.
In particular, when one special figure game that is started first is a normal hit that is not accompanied by a probability change, it is possible to prolong the probability change state by extending the fluctuation display time of this special figure game, It is in a state where the possibility of winning the special figure game is increased.

  Also, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 7, during the probability change, one special figure game (the second special figure game in FIG. 7) that is started first and has a long variable display time is displayed. In the case where the other special figure game that wins during the fluctuation of one special figure game is a normal hit that does not involve any positive change, This special game is shortened as described above, so that the special game state ends after it is finished first and a special game state occurs, but one special figure game ends immediately after that. When the special game state occurs and ends, the probability change state is entered. That is, even if a normal hit occurs during probability change and the probability change ends, a game in which the probability change is restored immediately can be generated with a relatively high probability, and the interest of the player can be enhanced.

  In addition, the movement of a game ball in a well-known game machine is simulated on the display screen, and the winning of the game ball at the winning opening is determined, and the player's winning game corresponding to the launch of the game ball and the winning In the program for calculating the number of balls and simulating the game, the present invention also includes a program that can be executed by a computer by adding the processing of the control system in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention. A computer-readable recording medium storing the program is also included in the present invention.
