  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and in particular, triggered by a winning prize on a game board, a small hit game that opens a big prize opening for a short time is executed, and a ball received in the big prize opening during the small hit game is large. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that executes a jackpot game by a specific winning that enters a specific winning opening provided in a winning opening.

Conventionally, a so-called first type pachinko gaming machine that performs a big hit lottery to determine whether or not to execute a big hit game triggered by entering the starting opening, and opening the big winning opening triggered by entering the starting opening A so-called type 3 pachinko machine that executes a small hit game and executes a big hit game by a specific winning in which a ball received in the big winning opening during the small winning game enters a specific winning opening provided in the big winning opening. Is known.
Also, in recent years, the so-called first-type and third-type pachinko gaming machines (hereinafter referred to as the first-type and third-type pachinko gaming machines), which have both the gaming characteristics of the first-type pachinko gaming machine and the gaming characteristics of the third-type pachinko gaming machine Mixed pachinko machines) have appeared (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In the third type pachinko gaming machine and mixed pachinko gaming machine described above, a movable vane is arranged at the entrance of the grand prize opening, and the entrance of the grand prize opening is normally closed by the movable vane. Mouth is not allowed to enter. In addition, the special prize opening and the off prize winning opening are arranged in the big prize opening, and the ball that has entered the big prize opening is finally one of the specific prize winning opening and the out prize winning opening. It is designed to be accepted at the prize opening.
When the small hit game is generated, the movable blade performs an opening operation of opening the entrance of the big winning opening for a predetermined time one or more times, and it is possible to enter the big winning opening during the opening operation.

Furthermore, many of the above-mentioned third-type pachinko machines and mixed pachinko machines have a movable accessory placed on the ball path between the entrance of the big prize opening, the specific prize opening and the winning prize opening, By operating the movable accessory in a predetermined pattern during the small hit game, a period in which the specific winning is relatively easy and a difficult period are periodically created. For this reason, even if a ball is received at the special winning opening during the opening operation, the probability that a specific winning will occur changes depending on the timing. As a result, not only technical intervention such as adjusting the handle so that the ball can easily pass near the blade member and easily enter the starting port, but also the operating position of the movable accessory when the ball enters the prize winning port. This makes it possible to provide the player with a thrilling game that will depress the player.

  By the way, as one of the pleasures of a player who plays a game with a pachinko gaming machine, there is a so-called continuous change that wins a big hit in a short time continuously. For example, most of the conventional type 1 pachinko machines have a probability variation function that increases the probability of a big hit after the big hit game ends when a big hit is made with a specific symbol. It is relatively easy to allocate consecutive Chang. For this reason, pachinko machines equipped with a probabilistic function have gained popularity and have become the mainstream in recent years.

On the other hand, in the conventional third type pachinko gaming machine or mixed pachinko gaming machine equipped with the above-mentioned movable accessory, whether or not to continuously change depends on the luck of the player as described above. become. For this reason, such pachinko gaming machines have fewer opportunities to obtain consecutive Chang, compared to conventional type 1 pachinko gaming machines with a probability variation function, and as a result, tend to be avoided by players. there were.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a special winning opening and a movable accessory in the special winning opening, and to have a function of generating a big hit game by winning the specific winning opening, and relatively easily assigning consecutive chunks. It is to provide a pachinko machine capable of doing so.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present invention transitions to a first start port, a first state where entry is impossible or difficult, and a second state where entry is easier than the first state. A second start opening that is possible, and a first grand prize that is open for a short time during an accessory game that is not possible to enter the ball at normal times and is triggered by winning a prize at the first and second start openings. A first hold storage means for storing a random number acquired with a winning at the first starting port as a maximum, and a predetermined number of random numbers acquired with a winning at the second starting port Second holding storage means for storing the upper limit as an upper limit, and a one-time prize game that opens the first big winning opening once by lottery based on a random number stored in the first holding storage means, the first large game A multi-purpose game in which a winning opening is opened multiple times, and the first grand prize opening or the first grand prize opening are provided separately. A first lottery means for deciding whether or not to execute any game out of the big hit games for opening a plurality of rounds of opening the opened second prize winning opening for a plurality of rounds; By lottery based on random numbers stored in the holding storage means, it is determined whether to execute any one of the one-time bonus game, multiple-time bonus game, or jackpot game, or not to execute any game. Second lottery means.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention includes a first special symbol display device for performing change and stop display of the first special symbol for notifying the player of the lottery result by the first lottery means, and the second lottery. A second special symbol display device for performing a change and stop display of the second special symbol for informing the player of the lottery result by the means, a variable display control of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device, and the First special symbol display control means for performing stop mode control of the first special symbol according to the lottery result by the first lottery means, second special symbol variable display control in the second special symbol display device, and the second Second special symbol display control means for performing stop mode control of the second special symbol according to the lottery result by the lottery means.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, after the change of the special symbol in any of the special symbol display devices, the symbol indicating that the special symbol display device has won one or more bonus games is stopped. When displayed, after the change of the special symbol in the special symbol display device and the bonus game game execution means for executing the single bonus game or the multiple bonus game according to the stopped and displayed symbol When the symbol indicating that the big hit game is won is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device, and the ball received in the first grand prize opening during the bonus game is specified in the first big prize opening A jackpot game executing means for executing a jackpot game according to a symbol stopped and displayed on any one of the special symbol display devices among a plurality of types of jackpot games when winning a winning opening;

The first lottery means is set such that the probability of winning the one-time bonus game is the highest as a result of the lottery, while the second lottery means It is set so that the probability of winning a game is the highest.
The jackpot game execution means shifts to a support mode in which the period during which the second start port is in the second state is longer than normal after execution of a predetermined jackpot game among the plurality of types of jackpot games. In both cases, the end condition of the support mode is set.
Furthermore, a movable body capable of transitioning between a normal state and an advantageous state in which the specific winning is easier than the normal state is provided in the first grand prize winning opening. During a game, the movable body is transitioned to the normal state or the superior state according to a predetermined operation pattern, and the predetermined operation pattern is superior to a normal period in which the movable body is in a normal state during the accessory game. The predominance period in a state is defined, and the ratio of the predominance period is set to increase with an increase in the number of times the first big prize opening is opened.

In the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, during the normal mode that is not in the support mode, the second prize opening rarely enters the second state, and in most cases, winning is difficult or impossible. The first state is maintained. Accordingly, there is hardly any winning in the second winning opening. In addition, even if a winning to the first winning opening occurs, the first lottery means is set so that the probability of winning the one-time item game is the highest as a result of the lottery. In this case, a single game is executed. At the time of a single-use game, the proportion of the superior period is low, so the probability that a specific winning will occur is low.
During the normal mode, if a winning game is won as a result of the lottery by the first and second lottery means, or a single bonus game or a multiple bonus game is won, a specific prize in the bonus game If this happens, a big hit game is executed. As a result, the player can obtain a large number of balls and after entering the predetermined big hit game, it is easier to enter the second starting port than usual. Transition to support mode.

When shifting to the support mode, it becomes easier to win the second prize opening than in the normal mode, and the second lottery means is set to have the highest probability of winning a multi-purpose game as a result of the lottery. Therefore, as a result, the game of a plurality of times frequently occurs.
In multi-use game, not only the opening of the first grand prize opening is executed multiple times, but the proportion of the dominant period in which the movable accessory transitions to the prevailing state where specific winnings are likely to occur is the increase in the number of times of opening. The ball that entered at the second opening is better than the ball that entered the first grand prize opening at the first opening, and the third opening than the ball that entered at the second opening. The ball that enters the time has a higher probability of obtaining a specific prize. Thus, it is possible to maintain the tension and excitement of the player who wants to win a specific prize according to his / her skill until the end of the bonus game.
Furthermore, during the support mode, a multi-purpose game in which a specific prize is likely to occur frequently occurs. Can be obtained.

  In addition, a second grand prize opening is provided separately from the first grand prize opening, the first grand prize opening is a special prize opening for exclusive use of an accessory game, and the second big prize opening is a special prize for exclusive use during a big hit game. In the case of adopting a configuration with a mouth, it is possible to appropriately set the number of winning balls for winning the first grand prize opening and the number of winning balls for winning the second big winning opening. In other words, the player can get a ball during a game by setting the number of winning balls for winning the first big prize opening, and the game during the big hit game by setting the number of winning balls for winning the second big winning opening. Therefore, it is easier to design a ball in consideration of euphoria than when a configuration in which the second big prize opening is not provided is adopted.

In a specific configuration, the jackpot game execution means, as an end condition of the support mode, the number of times the second special symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display device after the predetermined jackpot game ends, or Sets the total number of times that the first special symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device and the second special symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display device after a predetermined jackpot game ends. To do.
According to the specific configuration, as the end condition of the support mode, by appropriately setting the stop display count of the second special symbol after the jackpot game ends, or the combined stop display count of the first and second special symbols, It is possible to easily adjust the duration of the support mode, which is likely to occur in the long chain, so that the pachinko hall side will not be unilaterally disadvantageous while maintaining the continuous chain that will motivate the player It is possible to design a ball with gambling characteristics.

  Further, in a specific configuration, each of the first and second lottery means executes a lottery when a random number that has not yet been drawn is stored in the corresponding first or second holding storage means, If the lottery result is out, the symbol indicating the outage is displayed on the corresponding special symbol display device, and if the lottery result is a big hit game win, the lottery game is ended. As a result, if a single prize game or a plurality of prize games is won and no specific prize is generated during the prize game, the lottery results once until the prize game ends. Alternatively, if a winning combination game is won multiple times and a specific winning occurs during the winning game, a lottery is still executed in the corresponding first or second holding storage means until the big hit game to be executed after that is finished. Even if random numbers that are not To hold the next lottery.

  Further, the first and second special symbol display control means, when the lottery result is determined by the corresponding first and second lottery means, respectively, immediately execute the corresponding special symbol variation process, Among the first and second special symbol display control means, when one special symbol display control means is executing a variation process of one special symbol corresponding thereto, the other special symbol display control means Completing the other special symbol variation process corresponding to, a symbol indicating that the jackpot game has been won, a symbol indicating that the one-time bonus game has been won, and a symbol indicating that the bonus game has been won When one of the symbols is stopped and displayed on the corresponding other special symbol display device, the one special symbol display control means immediately pauses the fluctuation of the one special symbol and is executed thereafter. Large Ri maintains the state of the temporary stop until the game or character object game is finished, after the large per player or character object game end resumes variation of the one special symbol that has been paused.

In the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, in particular, during the support mode, since it is easier to enter the second starting port than usual, as a result, the lottery still stored in the second holding device is There are cases where the number of random numbers that have not been executed (hereinafter referred to as the hold number) reaches a predetermined upper limit. In this case, since a random number is not acquired even if a winning is made to the second starting port, there is a possibility that the player may stop launching the game ball until there is a vacancy in the number of reserves, so-called stop-stop. If it is executed, there is a problem that the actual operation rate of the pachinko gaming machine is lowered.
According to the specific configuration, for example, even if the number of holdings of the second holding device reaches the upper limit during the support mode, if the number of holdings of the first holding device does not reach the upper limit, the first start Since the random number acquisition process, the first lottery process, and the change and stop process of the first special drawing are performed in response to the entrance into the mouth, the stoppage can be effectively prevented.

Further, according to the above specific configuration, the special symbol display control means allows the corresponding special symbol display device to receive a symbol indicating that the jackpot game has been won, and a symbol indicating that the bonus game has been won. When any symbol is displayed among the symbols indicating that the multi-purpose game has been won, the other special symbol display control means may display the special symbol even during the variation processing of the corresponding special symbol. Is suspended, and the pause state is maintained until the big hit game or the bonus game to be executed thereafter is completed. The jackpot game and the bonus game are not started unless a special symbol indicating that each game is won is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device. A game does not occur at the same time.
Furthermore, the fluctuation of the other special symbol that has been paused is resumed after the jackpot game or the bonus game has been completed, and then stopped and displayed, so that the player does not feel distrust.

In another configuration, the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 4 of the present invention includes a first start port, a first state incapable of entering or difficult to enter, and a first state in which entering is easier than the first state.

Although not shown in the figure, each device shown in FIG. 3 is connected to the power supply circuit unit and operates with the electric power supplied from the power supply circuit unit. The power supply circuit section includes a main power supply for supplying power to each device, and monitors the voltage of the main power supply.

It has been. Thereby, even when the main power supply is turned off or a power failure occurs, the power necessary for the operation of the control device CN is supplied from the backup power supply, so that the contents of the RAMs of the control units MC, SC1, SC2 It is configured to be retained.
In addition, an oscillation circuit that outputs an operation clock and a timer interrupt signal to each CPU and a reset circuit that outputs a reset signal to each CPU are connected to the CPUs of the control units MC, SC1, and SC2, respectively. Has been.

Next, a processing procedure executed by the game program Pg of the main control unit MC will be described.
Processing procedures executed by the game program Pg of the main control unit MC are roughly divided into main processing shown in FIG. 4 and timer interruption processing shown in FIG. The main process is started when a reset signal is input to the CPU of the main control unit MC. On the other hand, the timer interrupt process is started when a timer interrupt signal is input to the CPU while the timer interrupt is permitted in the main process. In this case, the CPU interrupts the main process and immediately proceeds to the timer interrupt process, and continues the interrupted main process after the timer interrupt process ends. On the other hand, even if a timer interrupt signal is input to the CPU while the timer interrupt is prohibited in the main process, the CPU ignores this and continues the main process. The timer interrupt signal is input to the CPU every 4 mSec from the oscillation circuit described above, and the timer interrupt process is designed so that the processing time is less than 4 mSec at the maximum.
First, the main process will be described.

Main Process As shown in FIG. 4, in the main process, the power-on process in step S0 is first executed.
In the power-on process, the current checksum value is calculated based on the contents stored in the predetermined area of the RAM, and the checksum value and the checksum stored in the predetermined address of the RAM at the time of the power interruption process to be described later are calculated. The values are compared, and if they match, the current RAM contents are maintained. If they do not match, RAM initialization processing is executed.
In addition, for a random number generator with a built-in CPU that generates a special figure lottery random number R0, a hard random number initial setting for setting a variation range, an update cycle, etc. of the special figure lottery random number R0, and a timer interruption process are performed. Various initialization processes such as setting a timer interrupt flag indicating whether or not execution has been performed to 0 are executed.

In the next step S1, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is 0, and if it is determined to be no, that is, if the timer interrupt processing has been executed, the process proceeds to step S2 and the timer interrupt flag is set to 0. In step S3, a watchdog timer clearing process for monitoring CPU runaway is executed.
After execution of step S3 and when it is determined as YES in step S1, the process proceeds to step S4, and timer interruption is permitted.

  In the next step S5, the effect pattern lottery random number R2 is updated, and timer interruption is prohibited in the subsequent step S6. The effect pattern lottery random number R2 is a counter-type soft random number that is counted up one by one within the fluctuation range of 0 to 99, and the effect display device 70 synchronizes with the fluctuation of the first special figure or the second special figure. This is used for effect pattern number lottery for determining the number of effect patterns to be executed. In the renewal processing of the effect pattern lottery random number R2, it is determined whether or not the maximum value (99) is exceeded when 1 is added to the current value of the effect pattern lottery random number R2, and when it is determined as YES, it is determined as 0 or NO. If it is, the addition result is set to the effect pattern lottery random number R2.

  In the next step S7, it is determined whether or not the low voltage detection signal is output. If it is determined as NO, the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES, the process proceeds to step S8 to execute the power interruption process. In the power interruption process, a checksum value is calculated based on the contents stored in a predetermined area of the RAM, stored in a predetermined address of the RAM, and then access to the RAM is prohibited. Then, in the next step S9, the process shifts to a reset signal waiting state and the main process is ended.

After the timer interrupt is permitted in step S4, until the timer interrupt is prohibited in step S6, that is, when the timer interrupt signal is input to the CPU during execution of step S5, the current step S5 is changed. It interrupts and transfers to a timer interruption process, and after completion | finish of a timer interruption process, interrupted step S5 is continued. If it is determined NO in step S7 after step S6, the process returns to step S1. As shown in step S26 of FIG. 5, since 1 is set in the timer interrupt flag after the timer interrupt process is completed, it is determined NO in step S1 of FIG. 6, and the process proceeds to step S2.
After the timer interrupt flag is set to 0 in step S2, the timer interrupt flag is maintained at 0 during the remaining time until the next timer interrupt signal is input to the CPU. Since it is determined as YES in step S1 and steps S2 and S3 are skipped, the processing from step S4 to step S7 is repeated.

Next, the timer interrupt process will be described.
Timer Interrupt Processing As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S11, the contents of all the registers in the CPU are saved, and then various processes relating to game progress are executed. Hereinafter, each process executed in the timer interrupt process will be described in order.
LED display process (step S12 in FIG. 5)
In the LED display process, various displays and display devices arranged on the game board surface are controlled.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, first, in steps S31 to 33, lighting processing of the first special figure lottery hold number indicators H1 to H4 corresponding to the first special figure lottery hold number, respectively, the second special figure lottery. The lighting process of the second special figure lottery hold number indicators H5 to H8 according to the number of holds and the lighting process of the first lottery hold number indicators H1 to H4 according to the usual lottery number of holds are executed.
In the next-generation map display device ND update processing in the next step S34, when the map is changing (a map game flag to be described later is 1), the display contents of the map display device ND are updated to display the map change display. On the other hand, in other cases, the stop symbol corresponding to the normal symbol winning flag is displayed on the general symbol display device ND. Specifically, the symbol “7” indicating the winning is displayed on the universal symbol display device ND when the common symbol winning flag is 1, and the symbol “−” (bar) indicating the disconnection is displayed when the flag is “0”.

In the first special figure display device SD1 update process of the next step S35, the display process of the first special figure corresponding to the gaming state flag and the first special figure changing flag is performed. Similarly, in the second special figure display device SD2 update process in step S36, the second special figure display process corresponding to the gaming state flag and the second special figure changing flag is performed. The specific processing contents of the first special figure display device SD1 update process and the second special figure display device SD2 update process are shown in FIGS.
Among the processing contents described in FIGS. 7A and 7B, “stop symbol display” indicates that the stop symbol corresponding to the first special symbol winning flag and the second special symbol winning flag is the first special symbol display device SD1. And display on the second special figure display device SD2. The specific correspondence between the first special figure winning flag and the second special figure winning flag and the special figure stop symbol is shown in FIGS. 25 (a) and 25 (b).

In addition, the “symbol variation display” lights only one of the 6 segments excluding the central segment of the 7-segment display constituting each of the first special figure display device SD1 and the second special figure display device. And display control for sequentially updating the positions of the segments to be lit counterclockwise. The position of the segment to be lit is updated sequentially, for example, every five timer interruption processes (20 mSec), and it appears to the player as if the symbol is changing.
On the other hand, in the “symbol variation pause”, lighting only one of the six segments excluding the central segment is the same as the above “symbol variation display”, but the segment position to be lit is the same. The segment that was lit last time without sequentially updating is also lit this time. Thereby, it appears to the player as if the first special figure or the second special figure was temporarily stopped during the fluctuation. In addition, during “symbol change pause”, one of the 6 segments except the central segment is lit, so the player mistakenly displays a “-” (bar) indicating a disconnection. There is nothing.

As is clear from FIGS. 7A and 7B, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present application, when the game state flag is 0, that is, when neither the small hit game nor the big hit game is played, the first special figure and the second special figure are used. Simultaneous fluctuations in the figure are allowed. On the other hand, when one special figure stops during simultaneous fluctuation and the small win or big win is confirmed, the gaming state flag becomes a value other than 0, and at this point, the fluctuation of the other special figure is temporarily stopped. I am doing so.
An effect switching method executed by the effect display device 70 when the first special figure and the second special figure are simultaneously changing and when one is changing and the other is temporarily stopped will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the next step S37, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is being played. If the big win game is not being played, the indicator RD such as the number of rounds is turned off. On the other hand, if the game is a big hit game, the process proceeds to step S39, and the display update processing of the indicator RD such as the number of rounds according to the big hit game flag is performed. Specifically, the maximum number of rounds of the big hit game to be executed after this is during the big hit start demo (big hit game flag = 1), and the round to be executed after this while the round start demo is being displayed (hit big hit game flag = 2) Number, during the big hit release process (big hit game flag = 3), the number of counts of the balls that have entered the specific winning slot 9V and the off winning holes 9L, 9R are respectively displayed.

  In the next step S40, it is determined whether or not the electronic chew support mode is in effect. If the electronic chew support mode is not in effect, the remaining support number indicator TD is turned off. On the other hand, in the electric support mode, the remaining support count is displayed on the remaining support count display TD.

Regular drawing random number R1 update process (step S13 in FIG. 5)
The general drawing lottery random number R1 is a counter-type soft random number that is incremented by 1 every timer interrupt processing within a fluctuation range of 0 to 2, and determines whether or not to execute a general drawing game that opens the electric Chu 80. It is used for the lottery drawing to be decided.
In the update process of the general drawing lottery random number R1, it is determined whether or not the maximum value (2) is exceeded when 1 is added to the current value of the general drawing lottery random number R1. In this case, the addition result is set in the random number R1 for normal lottery.

Timer counter subtraction process (step S14 in FIG. 5)
In the timer counter subtraction process, the first special figure timer for managing the fluctuation time of the first special figure, the second special figure timer for managing the fluctuation time of the second special figure, and the progress of the ordinary figure game are managed. To check the stay of the ball that has entered the winning prize opening 9V, a regular hit timer for managing the progress of the small hit game, a big hit game timer for managing the progress of the big hit game, and The valid time timer update process is performed.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, first, in step S51, it is determined whether or not a small hit game is being played (game state flag = 1/2). If YES is determined, a small hit game timer is set in step S52. Subtract 1 On the other hand, if it is determined NO, it is determined whether or not a big hit game is being played (gaming state flag ≧ 3) in step S53. When it is determined NO in step S53, that is, when neither the big hit game nor the small hit game (game state flag = 0), 1 is subtracted from the first special figure timer and the second special figure timer in step S55. Then, a process of subtracting 1 from the usual game timer is performed in step S56, and a process of subtracting 1 from the effective time timer is performed in step S57. If each timer value is 0, the process skips without performing 1 subtraction.

Game board surface sensor processing (step S15 in FIG. 5)
In the game board surface sensor processing, setting of a winning ball command to be transmitted to the winning ball control unit SC2, acquisition processing of random numbers used for lottery, and the like are executed based on detection results of various sensors.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, it is first determined in step S61 whether or not the on-edge of the first start port sensor 81S has been detected. Is set to the first start opening 81 and the first start winning process is executed in step S63, and then the process proceeds to the next step S64. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S61, steps S62 and S63 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S64.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the first start winning process, first, in step S85, it is determined whether or not the first special figure lottery pending number is less than 4, and if it is determined to be yes, the first special winning lottery process is determined in step S86. In addition to adding 1 to the figure lottery hold number, in step S87, the current values of the special figure lottery random number R0 and the effect pattern lottery random number R2 are stored at the end of the first special figure lottery hold storage area, and the process returns. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S81, steps S86 and S87 are skipped and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the next step S64, it is determined whether or not the on-edge of the second start port sensor 82S has been detected. If the determination is YES, the second start is stored in the prize ball transmission buffer in step S65. After the mouth 82 winning is set and the second start winning process is executed in step S66, the process proceeds to the next step S67. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S64, steps S65 and S66 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S67.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the second start winning process, it is first determined in step S91 whether or not the second special figure lottery pending number is less than 4, and if it is determined to be yes, the second special prize lottery process is determined in step S92. In addition to adding 1 to the figure lottery hold number, in step S93, the current values of the special figure lottery random number R0 and the production pattern lottery random number R2 are stored at the end of the second special figure lottery hold storage area, and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S91, steps S92 and S93 are skipped and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the next step S67, it is determined whether or not the on-edge of the gate sensor GTS has been detected. If it is determined to be yes, the gate process is executed in step S68, and the next step S69. Migrate to On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S67, step S68 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S69.
As shown in FIG. 12, in the gate processing, it is first determined in step S101 whether or not the number of pending drawing lots is less than 4, and if it is determined to be yes, 1 is added to the number of pending drawing lots in step S102. In step S103, the current value of the general drawing lottery random number R1 is stored at the end of the general drawing lottery storage area, and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S101, steps S102 and S103 are skipped and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the next step S69, it is determined whether or not the on-edge of each of the general prize opening sensors 24S to 26S has been detected. The winning is set and the process proceeds to the next step S71. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S69, step S70 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S71.

  In the next step S71, it is determined whether or not the on-edge of the specific winning opening sensor 9VS is detected. If it is determined as YES, in step S72, a specific winning is set in the winning ball transmission buffer, and in step S73. The specific winning process is executed at, and the process proceeds to the next step S74. On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S71, steps S72 and S73 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S74.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the specific winning process, first, in step S111, it is determined whether or not the small hit game is in progress (game state flag = 1/2). In step S112, the IN / OUT management counter is decremented by 1, and in step S113, 1 indicating the occurrence of a specific winning is set in the specific winning flag, and the process returns.

  Here, the IN / OUT management counter is incremented by 1 when the on-edges of both the receiving ball sensors 91S and 92S of the first big winning opening 9 are detected during the small hit game, and the specific winning opening sensor 9VS and the both-out winning opening sensor. This counter is decremented by 1 when detecting the on-edge of 9LS and 9RS, and is used to determine the presence or absence of a staying ball in the first big winning opening 9.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the next step S74, it is determined whether or not the on-edges of the off-winning prize opening sensors 9LS, 9RS have been detected. A winning combination is set, and a winning winning process is executed in step S76, and the process proceeds to the next step S77. On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S74, steps S75 and S76 are skipped and the process proceeds to step S77.
As shown in FIG. 14, in the winning winning process, first, in step S121, it is determined whether or not a small hit game is being played (game state flag = 1/2). If it is determined, the IN / OUT management counter is decremented by 1 in step S122 and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the next step S77, it is determined whether or not the on-edge of each of the receiving ball sensors 91S and 92S of the first big winning opening 9 has been detected, and if it is determined to be no, the process proceeds to step S80. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES, it is determined in step S78 whether or not the small hit game is in progress (game state flag = 1/2). If YES is determined in step S78, the IN / OUT management counter is incremented by 1 in step S79, and the effective time timer is set to 750 (3 seconds) and returned. On the other hand, if NO is determined. Skips step S79 and proceeds to step S80.

  The valid time timer (3 seconds) indicates that the balls detected by the both receiving ball sensors 9LS, 9RS of the first grand prize opening 9 are the winning sensors 9VS of the specific winning opening 9V or the out-of-place winning openings 9R, 9L. The effective time until it is detected by the incoming sensors 9RS and 9LS is shown. The processing content related to the valid time timer will be described later.

In the next step S80, it is determined whether or not the on-edge of the second grand prize opening sensor 9CS has been detected. If the answer is yes, the second big prize winning prize is set in the prize ball transmission buffer in step S81. To do. In the next step S82, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is in progress (game state flag ≧ 3). If it is determined to be yes, the second big winning entrance entrance counter is incremented by 1 in step S83 and the process returns. Then, the game board surface sensor processing ends.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S80 and step S82, the process is also returned and the game board surface sensor processing is terminated.
The second grand prize opening counter is used to count the number of balls entered into the second big prize opening in each round at the time of the big hit game, and is used to determine whether or not to end each round.

Normal game processing (step S16 in FIG. 5)
As shown in FIG. 15, in the usual game, the usual figure change time and the opening mode of the electric chew 80 are switched depending on whether or not the electric chew support mode is in effect. That is, during the normal mode (support mode flag = 0), the normal time fluctuation time is set to 30 seconds, and when the normal drawing lottery is won, the electric Chu 80 is released for 0.3 seconds × 1 time. On the other hand, during the electronic Chu support mode, the normal time fluctuation time is set to 1 second, and when the normal drawing lottery is won, the electronic Chu 80 is set to 1.5 seconds x 3 times at intervals of 0.5 seconds. I try to open it. It should be noted that the probability of winning the normal drawing lottery is set to the same 1/3 regardless of whether or not in the electric chew support mode.
As mentioned above, during the electronic Chu support mode, the fluctuation time of the normal map will be shortened compared to the normal mode, so not only will the number of draws held for the general drawing lot be promoted, Since the opening time of the electric chew 80 is longer than that in the normal mode, it is easy to enter the second starting port 81.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the usual game process, one subroutine corresponding to the usual game flag for managing the progress status of the usual game is executed. That is, when the normal game flag is 0 (determined as YES in step S131), the normal map idling / lottery process in step S132, and when 1 (determined as YES in step S133), the normal map change process in step S134 2 (determined as YES in step S135), stop normal map processing in step S136, 3 (determine YES in step S137), open electric chew release process in step S138, 4 (yes in step S139) In the case of “determined”), the electric chew release interval process in step S140 is executed, and in the case of 5 (determined NO in step S139), the electric chew release end process in step S141 is executed.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the usual figure idling / lottery process executed when the usual figure game flag is 0, first, in step S151, it is determined whether or not the number of pending drawing lots is 0, and it is determined as YES. In that case, return immediately and repeat the usual idling / lottery process next time.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S151, 1 is subtracted from the number of drawings in the general drawing lot in step S152, and then the first lot stored in the head of the drawing lot storage area in step S153 is obtained. The general lottery random number R1 is saved in the CPU built-in register, and the regular lottery holding storage area is pre-filled to free the general drawing lottery storage area.
Then, in the next step 154, it is determined whether or not the general drawing lottery random number R1 saved in the register is 1, and if it is determined to be yes, it is determined in step S155 that the normal drawing lottery has been won. If it is determined to be 1 or No, in Step S156, 0 indicating that the player is out of the general drawing lottery is set in the normal winning flag, and the process proceeds to Step S157.

In step S157, it is determined whether or not the electronic chew support mode is in effect (support flag = 1). If YES is determined in step S158, the normal game time is set to 250 (1 second) in the normal game variable timer. To make the determination, in step S159, 7500 (30 seconds) is set as the normal time in the normal game timer, and the process proceeds to step S160.
In step S160, the ordinary game flag is set to 1 and the process returns, and the next time, the routine shifts to the ordinary map change process.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the usual figure change process executed when the usual game flag is 1, in step S161, it is first determined whether or not the ordinary game timer is 0. Return to the next time and repeat the usual map change process. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S161, 125 (0.5 seconds) is set as the normal figure stop display time in the normal figure game timer in step S162, and the normal figure game flag is set in step S163. 2 is set and the process returns, and next time, the routine shifts to the normal stop processing.

As shown in FIG. 19, in the usual figure stopping process executed when the usual figure game flag is 2, it is first determined in step S171 whether or not the ordinary figure game timer is 0. Return to the next time and repeat the usual figure stop process. On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S171, it is determined in step S172 whether or not a normal win is made (a normal win flag = 1). If it is determined NO in step S172, the ordinary game flag is set to 0 in step S173 and the process returns, and the next time, the routine shifts to the ordinary idling / lottery process.
On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S172, it is determined in step S174 whether or not the electronic chew support mode is in effect (support flag = 1). If YES is determined, the normal game timer is determined in step S175. While the electric chew release time is set to 375 (1.5 seconds) and the electric chew release frequency is set to 3, respectively, when it is determined to be no, the electric game release time is set to 75 (0. 3 seconds), 1 is set for the number of times the electric chew is released, and the process proceeds to step S177.
In step S177, the ordinary game flag is set to 3 and the process returns, and the next time the process proceeds to the electric chew release process.

As shown in FIG. 20, in the electric chew release process executed when the usual game flag is 3, it is first determined in step S181 whether or not the ordinary game timer is 0. Return, and repeat the electric chew release process next time. On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S181, 1 is subtracted from the number of times the electric chew is released in step S182, and it is determined in step S183 whether the electric chew releasing process is zero.
If it is determined YES in step S183, 25 is set in the ordinary game timer (0.1 second) and 5 is set in the ordinary game flag in step S184, and the process returns. Migrate to On the other hand, if it is determined to be NO, in step S185, the ordinary game timer is set to 125 (0.5 seconds) as the release interval time, and the ordinary game flag is set to 4, respectively. Transition to interval processing.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the electric chew release interval process executed when the normal game flag is 4, it is first determined in step S191 whether or not the normal game timer is 0, and if it is determined to be no Return immediately and repeat the electric chew release interval process next time. On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S191, in step S192, the ordinary game timer is set to 375 (1.5 seconds) as the electric chew release time, and the ordinary game flag is set to 3, respectively. Next time, the process moves to the electric chew release process.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the electric chew release ending process executed when the normal game flag is 5, it is first determined in step S201 whether or not the normal game timer is 0, and if it is determined to be no Return immediately and repeat the Chu-chu opening process again next time. On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S201, the ordinary game flag is set to 0 in step S202 and the process returns, and the next time, the routine shifts to the ordinary idling / lottery process.

First special figure process (step S17 in FIG. 5)
In the first special figure process, a first special figure lottery process, a change of the first special figure, and a stop process are performed upon entering the first starting port 81.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, it is first determined whether or not the game state flag is 0 in step S211, and if it is determined to be no, that is, during a small hit game or a big hit game, the process immediately returns.
On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S211, that is, if there is no demo for the big hit game, there is one subroutine corresponding to the first special figure process progress flag for managing the progress status of the first special figure process. Execute. That is, if the first special figure process progress flag is 0 (determined as YES in step S212), the first special figure idling / lottery process in step S213, and if it is 1 (determined as YES in step S214), step S216 is performed. In the case of the first special figure variation process and the first special figure process progress flag = 2 (determined NO in step S214), the first special figure stop process in step S215 is executed, respectively, and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the first special figure idling / lottery process executed when the first special figure process progress flag is 0, first, in step S221, it is determined whether or not the first special figure lottery pending number is zero. If yes, return immediately and repeat the first special figure idling / lottery process the next time.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S221, 1 is subtracted from the first special figure lottery hold number in step S222, and then the maximum number stored in the top of the first special figure lottery hold storage area in step S223. The first special figure lottery random number R0 and the effect pattern lottery random number R2 related to the previous acquisition are saved in the CPU built-in register, and the first special figure lottery holding storage area is executed to execute the pre-packing process. Free up.
Then, in the next step 224, based on the first special figure lottery random number R0 saved in the register and the first special figure lottery table shown in FIG. 25A, the first special figure lottery process is executed, and the lottery result is obtained. Set to the first special figure winning flag.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (a), as a result of the first special drawing lottery, the probability of winning a big hit (first special figure winning flag = 1) is 0.5%, and the winning of the small win (first special figure winning flag = The probability of 2 to 6) is set to 98%, and the probability of not winning either the big win or the small win (first special figure winning flag = 0) is set to 1.5%. Also, among the small wins, there is a 90% chance of winning the 1st prize game 9 in which the 1st big prize opening 9 is opened once (1st special figure winning flag = 2/3/4), the 1st big The probability of winning the two-time item game in which the winning opening 9 is opened twice (first special figure winning flag = 5/6) is set to 8%. Further, when a specific winning occurs during the small hit game after the first prize winning game, 1R (first special figure winning flag = 2), 7R (first special figure winning flag = 3), 15R (first Of the special figure winning flag = 4), one of the big hit games is executed, and the distribution probabilities are set to 40%, 50% and 10%, respectively. Similarly, if a special winning occurs during the small hit game after the two-time bonus game winning, a big win game of 7R (first special figure winning flag = 5) or 15R (first special figure winning flag = 6) The distribution probabilities are set to 90% and 10%, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the next step S225, it is determined whether or not the first special figure winning flag is 0 or 1, and if it is determined to be yes, the effect pattern lottery random number R2 saved in the register in step S226. The effect pattern number lottery is executed based on the above, and the reach effect pattern number to be executed by the effect display device 70 is determined.
In the ROM of the main control unit MC, the pattern number and the pattern are displayed for each of a plurality of types of outreach effects that are displayed on the effect display device 70 after the reach state. An off-effect production lottery table that defines the correspondence with the numerical range of the production pattern lottery random number R2 to select a number, and a plurality of types of jackpot productions in which the closing eyes are finally displayed on the production display device 70 after reaching the reach state Each time, a big hit effect lottery table that defines the correspondence between the pattern number and the numerical value range of the effect pattern lottery random number R2 to select the pattern number is stored, and the first special figure winning flag is 1. In this case, the effect pattern number is determined by lottery using the big hit effect lottery table, and in the case of 0, the effect pattern number is determined.
In the next step S227, the first special figure variation time corresponding to the effect pattern number is set in the first special figure timer, and the process proceeds to step S232.

  On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S225, that is, when a small win is won, in step S228, it is determined whether or not the one-time item game is won (first special figure winning flag = 2-4). If it is determined that the number 0 of the effect pattern to be executed at the time of the first game in step S229, if it is determined to be no, the effect pattern to be executed at the time of the second game in step S230 No. 1 is set as the production pattern number, and in step S231, 75 (0.3 seconds) is set as the first special figure variation time in the first special figure timer, and the process proceeds to step S232.

  In step S232, the command type indicating the start of the first special figure effect, the first special figure winning flag, and the effect pattern number are set in the sub transmission buffer for storing the command to be transmitted to the effect control unit SC1. In step S233, the first special figure process progress flag is set to 1 and the process returns, and the next time, the process proceeds to the first special figure fluctuation process.

As shown in FIG. 26, in the first special figure variation process executed when the first special figure process progress flag is 1, first, in step S241, it is determined whether or not the first special figure timer is 0, and If it is determined, the process returns immediately and the first special figure variation process is repeated next time.
On the other hand, if YES is determined in S241, it is determined whether or not the first special figure winning flag is 0/1 in step S242. If YES is determined, the sub-transmission buffer is determined in step S243. The first special figure winning flag and the production pattern number are set as the command type and data indicating the end of the first special figure production, and when it is determined NO, the process skips step S243 and proceeds to step S244.
In step S244, 125 (0.5 seconds) is set as the first special figure stop display time in the first special figure timer, and in step S245, the first special figure processing progress flag is set to 2 and the process returns. Next time, the process proceeds to the first special figure stop process.

As shown in FIG. 27, in the first special figure stop process executed when the first special figure process progress flag is 2, first, in step S251, it is determined whether or not the first special figure timer is 0. If it is determined, the process immediately returns and the first special figure stop process is repeated next time.
If it is determined YES in step S251, the first special figure process progress flag is set to 0 in step S252, and whether or not the big hit win (first special figure win flag = 1) is determined in step S253. to decide. If it is determined YES in step S253, in step S254, 3 indicating that the game will shift to the big win game as a result of the first special drawing lottery is set in the game state flag, and the process proceeds to step S257.

On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S253, it is determined in step S255 whether it is off (first special figure winning flag = 0), and if it is determined NO (first special figure winning flag = 2). In step S256, 1 is set in the game state flag indicating that the game will shift to the small hit game as a result of the first special drawing lottery in step S256, and the process proceeds to step S257. On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S255, the process returns.
In step S257, a command type indicating a gaming state transmission command, a gaming state flag, and a support flag are set in the sub transmission buffer, and the process returns.

Second special drawing process (step S18 in FIG. 5)
In the second special figure process, a second special figure lottery process and a second special figure change and stop process are performed in response to a ball entering the second starting port 82.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28, it is first determined whether or not the game state flag is 0 in step S271, and if it is determined to be no, that is, during a small hit game or a big hit game, the process immediately returns.
On the other hand, if it is determined YES in S271, that is, if the game is neither a small hit game nor a big hit game, one subroutine corresponding to the second special figure process progress flag for managing the progress status of the second special figure process is executed. To do. That is, when the second special figure process progress flag is 0 (determined as YES in step S272), the second special figure idling / lottery process in step S273, and when it is 1 (determined as YES in step S274), step S276 is performed. In the case of the second special figure variation process No. 2 (No in step S274), the second special figure stop process in step S275 is executed and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 29, in the second special figure idling / lottery process executed when the second special figure process progress flag is 0, first, in step S281, it is determined whether or not the second special figure lottery pending number is zero. If yes, return immediately and repeat the second special figure idling / lottery process the next time.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S281, the second special figure lottery holding number is decremented by 1 in step S282, and then the maximum number stored in the top of the second special figure lottery holding storage area in step S283. The second special figure lottery random number R0 and the effect pattern lottery random number R2 related to the previous acquisition are saved in the CPU built-in register, and the second special figure lottery hold storage area is executed to perform the pre-packing process. Free up.
In the next step 284, based on the second special figure lottery random number R0 saved in the register and the second special figure lottery table shown in FIG. 25 (b), the second special figure lottery process is executed, and the lottery result is obtained. Set to the 2nd special figure winning flag.

As shown in FIG. 25 (b), as a result of the second special drawing lottery, the probability of winning the big hit (second special figure winning flag = 1) is 0.5%, and the small winning is won (second special figure winning flag = 2-6) is set to 98%, and the probability of winning out of the big hit and the small win (second special figure winning flag = 0) is set to 1.5%. Also, out of the small wins, there is an 8% chance of winning the 1st prize game (2nd special figure winning flag = 2/3/4) and the 2nd prize winning game (2nd special figure winning flag = The probability of 5/6) is set to 90%. In addition, if a special winning occurs during the small hit game after the one-time game winning, 1R (second special figure winning flag = 2), 7R (second special figure winning flag = 3), 15R (second Of the special figure winning flag = 4), one of the big hit games is executed, and the distribution probabilities are set to 40%, 50% and 10%, respectively. Similarly, if a special winning occurs during the small hit game after the two-time bonus game winning, a big win game of 7R (second special figure winning flag = 5) or 15R (second special figure winning flag = 6) The distribution probabilities are set to 90% and 10%, respectively.
Further, as is clear from the comparison between the first special figure lottery table shown in FIG. 25A and the second special figure lottery table shown in FIG. Are set identically in both tables, but in the second special figure lottery table, the probability of winning the two-time item game is set higher than in the first special figure lottery table.

As shown in FIG. 29, next, in step S285, it is determined whether the second special figure winning flag is 0 or 1, and if it is determined to be yes, the effect pattern lottery random number R2 saved in the register in step S286. The effect pattern number lottery is executed based on the above, and the reach effect pattern number to be executed by the effect display device 70 is determined. Specifically, similar to the first special figure lottery process, when the second special figure winning flag is 1, a lottery effect lottery table is used, respectively, when the second special figure winning flag is 0, and a lost production lottery table is used, respectively. To determine the production pattern number.
In the next step S287, the second special figure variation time corresponding to the effect pattern number is set in the second special figure timer, and the process proceeds to step S292.

  On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S285, that is, when a small win is won, it is determined whether or not the first-time item game is won (second special figure winning flag = 2-4), and yes. If it is determined that the number 0 of the effect pattern to be executed at the time of the one-time item game in step S289, if it is determined no, the effect pattern to be executed at the time of the second-time object game in step S290 No. 1 is set as the production pattern number, and in step S291, 75 (0.3 seconds) is set as the second special figure variation time in the second special figure timer, and the process proceeds to step S292.

  In step S292, the command type indicating the start of the second special figure effect, the second special figure winning flag, and the effect pattern number are set in the sub transmission buffer, and 1 is set in the second special figure process progress flag in step S293. Then, the process returns to the second special figure variation process next time.

As shown in FIG. 30, in the second special figure variation process executed when the second special figure process progress flag is 1, first, in step S301, it is determined whether or not the second special figure timer is 0. If it is determined, the process immediately returns and the second special figure variation process is repeated next time.
On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S301, it is determined whether the second special figure winning flag is 0 or 1 in step S302. If YES is determined, the sub-transmission buffer is determined in step S303. On the other hand, the command type indicating the end of the second special figure effect and the second special figure winning flag and the effect pattern number are set as data. On the other hand, if it is determined NO, step S303 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S304.
In step S304, 125 (0.5 seconds) is set as the second special figure stop display time in the second special figure timer, and in step S305, the second special figure process progress flag is set to 2 and the process returns. Next time, the process proceeds to the second special figure stop process.

As shown in FIG. 31, in the second special figure stop process executed when the second special figure process progress flag is 2, it is first determined in step S311 whether or not the second special figure timer is 0, and If it is determined, the process immediately returns and the second special figure stop process is repeated next time.
If it is determined YES in step S311, the second special figure process progress flag is set to 0 in step S312, and whether or not a big win (second special figure win flag = 1) is determined in step S313. to decide. If it is determined YES in step S313, 4 indicating that the game will shift to the big win game as a result of the second special drawing lottery is set in the game state flag in step S314, and the process proceeds to step S321.

  On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S313, it is determined in step S315 whether the electronic support mode is in effect (support flag = 1). If YES is determined, the remaining support is determined in step S316. After the count counter is decremented by 1, it is determined in step S317 whether or not the remaining support counter is 0. If it is determined YES in step S317, the support flag is reset to 0 in order to end the electric chew support mode in step S318, and the process proceeds to step S319. Similarly, when it is determined NO in step S315 and when NO is determined in step S317, the process proceeds to step S319.

In step S319, it is determined whether or not the second special figure winning flag = 0, and if it is determined to be no (second special figure winning flag = 2-6), the second special figure is determined in step S320. As a result of the lottery, 2 indicating that the game is shifted to the small hit game is set in the game state flag, and the process proceeds to step S321. On the other hand, also when it is judged as YES in step S319, it transfers to step S321.
In step S321, a command type indicating gaming state transmission, a gaming state flag, and a support flag are set in the sub transmission buffer, and the process returns to the second special drawing idling / lottery process.

Small hit game processing (step S19 in FIG. 5)
First, the opening operation of the first big winning opening 9 and the operation of the abdomen pocket portion 41 during the small hit game will be described.
FIG. 32 shows a time chart for a one-time item game, and FIGS. 33 (a) and (b) show time charts for a two-time item game. The specific winning frequencies shown in FIGS. 32, 33 (a) and 33 (b) are obtained by performing a test hit test with the abdomen pocket portion 41 always protruding, and when the movable blades 91 and 92 are opened, The result of measuring the timing at which the ball that entered the ball enters the ball guiding path 41a of the abdominal pocket portion 41 through the first drop port 94a of the middle stage 94 is shown.
As shown in FIG. 32, in the one-time item game, after the movable blades 91 and 92 are driven to the open position for the period of T1 (0.8 seconds) from the start, the first big prize opening 9 is opened. The abdominal pocket portion 41 protrudes forward over a period of T2 (0.3 seconds) after 0.9 seconds. As can be seen from FIG. 32, the protrusion time of the abdominal pocket portion 41 at the time of one-time item game is extremely short, and the protrusion timing is also set at a timing that deviates from the timing with the highest specific winning frequency. The probability that a ball that has entered the first grand prize opening 9 when 91, 92 is released falls to the ball guiding path 41a of the abdominal pocket portion 41 protruding through the first drop opening 94a of the middle stage 94, and a specific prize is generated. Is low.

  On the other hand, in the two-time prize game shown in FIG. 33 (a), the first big prize opening 9 is opened for 0.8 seconds × 2 times with an interval of 1 second. The abdominal pocket 41 protrudes forward for 0.3 seconds after 0.9 seconds and for 0.8 seconds after 3 seconds. As can be seen from FIG. 33 (a), the protruding timing and protruding time of the first abdominal pocket portion 41 are the same as those at the time of the first role game, so that the big winning opening when the first movable blades 91 and 92 are opened. The probability that a ball that has entered 9V falls into the abdominal pocket portion 41 projecting through the first drop port 94a of the middle stage 94 and a specific winning will occur is low. On the other hand, since the protrusion time of the second abdominal pocket portion 41 is as long as 0.8 seconds and the protrusion timing is set in accordance with the timing of the highest specific winning frequency, the movable blades 91 and 92 for the second time are set. There is a high probability that a ball that has entered the first grand prize opening 9 at the time of opening falls into the ball guiding path 41a of the abdominal pocket portion 41 protruding through the first drop opening 94a of the middle stage 94 and a specific prize will occur. It becomes.

Accordingly, the probability of occurrence of a specific prize is higher in the two-time bonus game than in the first-time bonus game, and in the second-time bonus game, the first time when the second movable blades 91 and 92 are opened. The ball that has entered the big prize opening 9 is set so that the specific prize is more likely to occur than the ball that has entered the first big prize opening 9 when the first movable blades 91 and 92 are opened.
Thus, it is possible to maintain the tension and excitement of the player who wants to win a specific prize according to his / her skill until the end of the bonus game.

In this embodiment, the operation pattern shown in FIG. 32 (a) is adopted as the operation pattern of the abdominal pocket portion 41. However, the operation pattern shown in FIG. 32 (b) can also be adopted.
In the operation pattern shown in FIG. 32 (b), after the opening of the first first prize winning opening 9 for the second time, the abdominal pocket portion 41 is moved to the protruding position for 0.3 seconds and then returned to the storage position four times. In addition to repeating intermittently, the interval for moving to the protruding position again is gradually shortened. According to this operation pattern, after the first opening of the first grand prize opening 9, the total protrusion time of the abdominal pocket part 41 is as long as 1.2 seconds (0.3 seconds × 4), and the abdominal pocket Since the second and third protrusion timings of the portion 41 are set in a period in which the specific winning frequency is relatively high, the ball that has entered the first grand prize opening 9 when the second movable blades 91 and 92 are opened is used. The probability of falling to the ball guiding path 41a of the abdominal pocket portion 41 protruding through the first drop port 94a of the middle stage 94 will be high.
In addition, by gradually reducing the interval at which the abdominal pocket portion 41 again moves to the protruding position, the ratio of the period during which the abdominal pocket portion 41 is in the protruding state, that is, the ratio of the period during which a specific prize is easily obtained, Therefore, it is possible to maintain the tension and excitement of the player who wants to win a specific prize according to his / her skill until the end of the role game.

The small hit game ends when all the following conditions are satisfied.
Condition 1) More than 1 second has elapsed since the movable blades 91 and 92 were closed after the last opening.
Condition 2) The valid time timer value is 0.
Condition 3) IN / OUT counter value is 0
If conditions 1 and 2 are satisfied but condition 3 is not satisfied (IN / OUT counter value> 0), it is determined that a ball clogging has occurred in the special winning opening 9, and a transition to a ball clogging error state occurs. .

Next, the processing procedure of the small hit game processing will be described.
As shown in FIG. 34, in the small hit game process, it is first determined in step S331 whether or not a small hit game is in progress (game state flag = 1/2).
On the other hand, if it is determined YES in S331, one subroutine corresponding to the small hit game flag for managing the progress status of the small hit game process is executed. That is, when the small hit game flag is 0 (determined as YES in step S332), the small hit game initial setting process in step S333, and in the case of 1 (determined as YES in step S334), the small hit release process in step S335. In the case of (first time), 2 (determined as YES in step S336), the abdominal pocket projecting standby process in step S337 (first time), in the case of 3 (determined as YES in step S338), the abdominal pocket in step S339 In the case of partial protrusion processing (first time), 4 (determined as YES in step S340), the second release waiting processing in step S341, and in the case of 5 (determined as YES in step S342), small hit release processing in step S343 In the case of (second time) and 6 (determined as YES in step S344), the abdominal pocket protruding protrusion process in step S345 (second time), 7 (yes in step S346) In the case of (decided), the abdominal pocket protruding process (second time) in step S347, and in the case of 8 (determined NO in step S346), the small hit game ending process in step S348 is executed, respectively, and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 35, in the small hit game initial setting process executed when the small hit game flag is 0, first, in step S351, the small hit (gaming state flag = 1) generated through the first special drawing lottery. Determine whether or not.
If it is determined yes in step S351, it is determined in step S352 whether or not the 1st prize game is won (first special figure winning flag = 2-4). If it is determined yes, In step S354, the small hit game timer is set to 200 (0.8 seconds) as the first big prize opening time, and 1 is set to the number of small hits opened. In this case, in step S355, the small winning game timer is set to 200 (0.8 seconds) as the first big prize opening time, and the small winning number is set to 2, and the process proceeds to step S356.
When it is determined NO in step S351, that is, when a small hit is generated through the second special drawing lottery, similarly, the time for opening the big prize opening according to the one-time bonus game winning / two-time bonus game winning And the number of small hits is set, and the process proceeds to step S356.
In step S356, the specific winning flag, the IN / OUT counter, and the valid time timer are reset to 0, the small hit game flag is set to 1, and the process returns to the next small hit release process (first time).

As shown in FIG. 36, in the small hit release process (first time) executed when the small hit game flag is 1, first, in step S361, it is determined whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1). If it is determined yes, the small hit game timer is set to 250 (1 second) and the small hit game flag is set to 8 in step S362, and the process returns. .
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S361, it is determined in step S363 whether or not the small hit game timer is 0. If NO is determined, the process returns and the small hit release process (1 Repeat). If it is determined YES in step S363, 1 is subtracted from the number of small hits released in step S364, and in step S365, a standby time of 25 ( (0.1 seconds), the small hit game flag is set to 2 respectively, and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 37, in the abdominal pocket protrusion standby process (first time) executed when the small hit game flag is 2, first, in step S371, whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1). If it is determined yes, in step S372, 225 (0.9 seconds) is added to the small hit game timer, the small hit game flag is set to 8 and the process returns. It shifts to the hit game end processing.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S371, it is determined whether or not the small hit game timer is 0 in step S373. If NO is determined, the process returns and the abdomen pocket portion protrusion standby process is performed next time. Repeat (first time). If it is determined YES in step S373, in step S374, the small hit game timer is set to 75 (0.3 seconds) as the abdomen pocket protrusion time, and the small hit game flag is set to 3, respectively. Next time, the process proceeds to the abdominal pocket protrusion process (first time).

As shown in FIG. 38, in the belly pocket protrusion process (first time) executed when the small hit game flag is 3, first, in step S381, whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1) or not. If it is determined as YES, 150 (0.6 seconds) is added to the small hit game timer in step S382, the small hit game flag is set to 8 and the process returns. Shift to game end processing.
On the other hand, when it is determined NO in step S381, it is determined whether or not the small hit game timer is 0 in step S383, and when it is determined NO, the process returns to the abdomen pocket protrusion process ( Repeat 1st). If it is determined YES in step S383, it is determined in step S374 whether or not the number of small hits is zero. If it is determined YES in step S374, the small hit game timer is set to 150 (0.6 seconds), the small hit game flag is set to 8 in step S385, and the process returns. Migrate to
On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S374, 200 (0.8 seconds) is set as the waiting time until the second first big winning opening is opened in the small hit game timer in step S386, and the small hit game flag is set. 4 is set and the process returns, and the next time the process proceeds to the second release waiting process.

As shown in FIG. 39, in the second opening waiting process executed when the small hit game flag is 4, first, in step S391, it is determined whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1), If YES is determined, the small hit game flag is set to 8 in step S392 and the process returns, and the next time the process proceeds to the small hit game end process.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S391, it is determined whether or not the small hit game timer is 0 in step S393. If NO is determined, the process returns to perform the second release waiting process next time. repeat. If it is determined as YES in step S393, the small winning game timer is set to 200 (0.8 seconds) as the second big opening opening time in the small winning game timer, and the small winning game flag is set to 5 to return. Next time, the process proceeds to the small hit release process (second time).

As shown in FIG. 40, in the small hit release process (second time) executed when the small hit game flag is 5, first, in step S401, it is determined whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1). If it is determined yes, in step S402, the small hit game timer is set to 250 (1 second), the small hit game flag is set to 8, and the process returns to the next small hit game end process. .
On the other hand, if NO is determined in step S401, it is determined in step S403 whether or not the small hit game timer is 0. If NO is determined, the process returns and the small hit release process (2 Repeat). If it is determined as YES in step S403, 100 (0.4 seconds) is set as the waiting time until the second abdominal pocket portion protrusion in the small hit game timer in step S404, and 6 is set in the small hit game flag. Then, the next time, the process proceeds to the abdominal pocket projecting standby process (second time).

As shown in FIG. 41, in the abdominal pocket protrusion standby process (second time) executed when the small hit game flag is 6, first, in step S411, whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1) or not. If it is determined yes, 150 (0.6 seconds) is added to the small hit game timer in step S412, and the small hit game flag is set to 8 and the process returns. It shifts to the hit game end processing.
On the other hand, when it is determined NO in step S411, it is determined whether or not the small hit game timer is 0 in step S413. Repeat (second time). If it is determined YES in step S413, the small hitting game timer is set to 200 (0.8 seconds) as the second belly pocket protrusion time in the small hitting game timer, and the small hitting game flag is set to 7 to return. Next time, the process proceeds to the abdominal pocket protrusion process (second time).

As shown in FIG. 42, in the abdomen pocket protrusion process (second time) executed when the small hit game flag is 7, first, in step S421, whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1) or not. If it is determined as YES, 50 (0.2 seconds) is subtracted from the small hit game timer in step S422. If it is negative, it is 0. In addition to setting the game timer, the small hit game flag is set to 8 and the process returns, and the next time, the process proceeds to the small hit game end process.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S421, it is determined whether or not the small hit game timer is 0 in step S423. Repeat 2). If YES is determined in step S423, 0 is set in the small hit game timer and 8 is set in the small hit game flag in step S424, and the process returns to the next small hit game end process.

As shown in FIG. 43, in the small hit game end process executed when the small hit game flag is 8, first, in step S431, it is determined whether or not the small hit game timer is 0. Return and repeat the small hit game end processing next time.
On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S431, it is determined whether or not the IN / OUT counter is 0 in step S432. If NO is determined, whether or not the valid time timer is 0 in step S433. Determine whether. If it is determined NO in step S433, the process returns and repeats the small hit game end process next time. However, if it is determined YES, the process shifts to a ball clogging error state, and a message notifying that is sent to the speaker. The sound is output from 51 and 52.

  If it is determined as YES in step S432, it is determined in step S435 whether or not the small hit (gaming state flag = 1) generated through the first special drawing lottery. If YES, in step S436, the command type indicating the end of the first special figure effect, the first special figure winning flag, and the effect pattern number are set in the sub-transmission data buffer to end the small hit effect. To do. Further, in step S437, it is determined whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1). If YES is determined, in step S440, the first special figure lottery is won and the small win is determined. If it is determined 5 or no indicating that a big win has occurred due to a specific winning during a winning game, 0 is set in each gaming state flag in step S441, and the process proceeds to step S443.

Similarly, when it is determined NO in step S435, that is, in the case of a small hit (gaming state flag = 2) generated through the second special drawing lottery, the second special drawing effect ends in the sub data buffer in step S438. Is set, a first special figure winning flag, and an effect pattern number are set. Further, in step S439, it is determined whether or not a specific winning has occurred (specific winning flag = 1). If YES is determined, in step S442, the second special drawing lottery is won and the small win is determined. 6 indicates that a big win has occurred due to a specific win during the winning game. If NO, the game state flag is set to 0 in step S441, and the process proceeds to step S443.
In step S443, a command type indicating gaming state transmission, a gaming state flag, and a support flag are set in the sub-transmission data buffer, and the process returns to end the small hit game.

Big hit game processing (step S20 in FIG. 5)
In the big hit game processing, as shown in FIGS. 25 (a) and 25 (b), according to the first special figure winning flag as the first special figure lottery result or the second special figure winning flag as the second special figure lottery result. The big hit game of the number of rounds is executed, and after the big hit game, the operation shifts to the electric support mode that continues until the second special figure lottery result is derived a predetermined number of times.

  As shown in FIG. 44, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present invention, whether or not the big win was won in the first special drawing lottery or the second special drawing lottery (hereinafter referred to as the first type big hit), According to the game status flag indicating whether or not a big win has occurred due to a specific win during the small win game (hereinafter referred to as the third type big hit), and a support mode flag indicating whether or not in the electric support mode The number of continuations of the electric Chu support mode that rushes after the big hit game is switched. Specifically, if the first type big hit occurs during the normal mode that is not in electric chew support, the number of continuations is 100 times, and if the first type big hit occurs during the electric chew support mode, the electric chew support mode is entered. Shift to normal mode without shifting. When the third type big hit occurs during the normal mode, the number of continuations is set to 4 times, and when the third type big hit occurs during the electric chew support mode, the number of continuations is set to 100 times.

As shown in FIG. 45, in the big hit game process, first, in step S451, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is in progress (game state flag ≧ 3).
On the other hand, if it is determined as YES in step S451, one subroutine corresponding to the jackpot game flag for managing the progress status of the jackpot game process is executed. That is, if the big hit game flag is 0 (determined as YES in step S452), the big hit game initial setting process in step S453, and if it is 1 (determined as YES in step S454), the big hit game start demonstration process in step S455, 2 (determined as YES in step S456), round start demonstration process in step S457, 3 (determined as YES in step S458), jackpot release process in step S459, 4 (determined as YES in step S460) ), The round process in step S461 is executed, and in the case of 5 (determined NO in step S460), the big hit game end process in step S462 is executed, and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 46, in the big hit game initial setting process executed when the big hit game flag is 0, first, in step S471, it is determined whether or not the first type big hit (game state flag = 3/4). If YES is determined, the number of end rounds is set to 15 in step S472, and the process proceeds to step S476.
On the other hand, when it is determined NO in step S471, that is, in the case of the third type big hit, in steps S473 to 475, as shown in FIGS. The number of end rounds corresponding to the 2 special figure winning flag is set, and the process proceeds to step S476.
In step S476, the jackpot game timer is set to 750 (3 seconds) as the jackpot start demo time, the jackpot game flag is set to 1, and the round number is set to 1, and in the next step S477, the jackpot start demo is set in the sub transmission buffer. The command type, the game state flag, and the first special figure winning flag or the second special figure winning flag are set and returned, and the next time, the process proceeds to the big hit game start demonstration process.

As shown in FIG. 47, in the big hit game start demonstration process executed when the big hit game flag is 1, first, in step S481, it is determined whether or not the big hit game timer is 0. Then, the next big hit game start demonstration process is repeated.
On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S481, in step S482, 250 (1 second) is set as the round start demo time in the big hit game timer, 2 is set in the big hit game flag, and the next step S483 is set. Then, the command type indicating the round start demonstration and the number of rounds are set in the sub-transmission buffer, and the process returns to the next round.

As shown in FIG. 48, in the round start demonstration process executed when the big hit game flag is 2, first, in step S491, it is determined whether or not the big hit game timer is 0, and if it is determined no, the process returns. Repeat the round start demo process next time.
On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S491, in step S492, 7500 (30 seconds) is set in the jackpot game timer as a jackpot opening time, 3 is set in the jackpot game flag, and the second prize is won. Reset the entrance ball counter to zero. In the next step S493, the command type indicating the start of round and the number of rounds are set in the sub-transmission buffer, and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 49, in the big hit release process executed when the big hit game flag is 3, first, in step S501, it is determined whether or not the second big winning opening entrance counter is 10 or more, and it is determined as YES. In the case, the process proceeds to step S503. On the other hand, when it is determined NO in step S501, it is determined whether or not the big hit game timer is 0 in step S502. If NO is determined, the process returns and repeats the big hit release process next time. If it is determined as YES in step S502, the process proceeds to step S503.
In step S503, the big hit game timer is reset to 0, and the big hit game flag is set to 4 to return.

As shown in FIG. 50, in the round end process executed when the big hit game flag is 4, first, in step S511, 1 is added to the number of rounds, and in step S512, is the number of rounds greater than the final number of rounds? Judge whether or not.
If it is determined as YES in step S512, in order to end the jackpot game, in step S513, the jackpot game timer is set to 750 (3 seconds) as a jackpot end demonstration time, and the jackpot game flag is set to 5, respectively. The command type indicating the start of the big hit end demonstration, the game state flag, and the first or second special figure winning flag are set in the transmission buffer and the process returns, and the next step is a big hit game end process.
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step S512, 250 (1 second) is set as the round start demonstration time in the jackpot game timer in step S515, and 2 is set in the jackpot game flag to shift to the next round. At the same time, in step S516, a command type indicating the start of a round start demonstration and the number of rounds are set in the sub-transmission buffer, and the process returns.

As shown in FIG. 51, in the big hit game ending process executed when the big hit game flag is 5, first, in step S521, it is determined whether or not the big hit game timer is 0. The big hit game end process is repeated next time.
On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S521, the determination result of whether or not the first type big hit (gaming state flag = 3/4) in step S522 and the electric chew support mode in steps S523 and S526 (support flag) = 1), the support mode flag and the remaining support counter are set as shown in FIG. 44 in steps S524, S525, S527, and S528 according to the determination result, and the process proceeds to step S529. Transition.

In step S529, the command type indicating the end of the big hit game, the gaming state flag, and the first or second special figure winning flag are set in the sub transmission buffer, and in the next step S530, the gaming state flag is reset to zero.
In the last step S531, the command type indicating gaming state transmission, the gaming state flag and the support flag are set in the sub transmission buffer and the process returns, and the jackpot gaming process is terminated.

Subcommand output processing (step S21 in FIG. 5)
In the subcommand output process, the command type and data set in the subtransmission buffer are transmitted to the CPU of the effect control unit SC1, and then the subtransmission buffer is cleared.

Prize ball command output processing (step S22 in FIG. 5)
In the subcommand output process, the prize ball data set in the prize ball transmission buffer is transmitted to the CPU of the prize ball control unit SC2, and then the prize ball transmission buffer is cleared.

Solenoid driving process (step S23 in FIG. 5)
In the solenoid driving process, the driving process of the movable blades 91 and 92 opening / closing solenoid D1, the electric Chu 80 opening / closing solenoid D2, the belly pocket 41 driving solenoid, and the opening / closing plate 96 opening / closing solenoid D4 according to the progress of the game is performed. Do. The details of the driving process are shown in FIGS. 52 (a) and 52 (b).
As shown in FIG. 52 (a), the movable blades 91 and 92 open / close solenoid D1 is driven to the open position during the small hit release process (first and second rounds) (small hit game flag = 1/5). In other cases, it is driven to the closed position. The electric chow 80 opening / closing solenoid D2 is driven to the open position when the electric chew release process is in progress (ordinary game flag = 3), and is driven to the closed position otherwise. The open / close plate 96 open / close solenoid D4 is driven to the open position when the big hit release process is in progress (big hit game flag = 3), and is otherwise driven to the closed position.
As shown in FIG. 52 (b), the abdominal pocket 41 driving solenoid D3 is driven to the protruding position during the abdominal pocket protruding process (first and second times) (small hit game flag = 3/6). In other cases, it is driven to the storage position.

External terminal board output processing (step S24 in FIG. 5)
In the external terminal board output process, signals such as start winning, special figure stop display, general figure stop display, and big hit are used for turning on the call lamp and collecting information in the hall computer, etc., are output to the external terminal board OUT. A description of the details of the processing is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 5, the timer interrupt flag is set to 1 in the next step 25, and all the registers are returned and returned in step S26 to complete the timer interrupt process.

Next, a specific example of the effect executed on the effect display device 70 will be described.
When none of the first special figure display device SD1 and the second special figure display device SD2 executed in the production display device 70 is changing, the angler sets the production control device 70 as shown in FIG. The normal display pattern for lowering is displayed. After this, when the first special drawing lottery or the second special drawing lottery is triggered by entering the first starting port 81 or the second starting port 81, the lottery result (first or second special drawing) An effect start command including an illustration winning flag) and an effect pattern number is transmitted from the CPU of the main control unit MC1 to the CPU of the effect control unit SC2 (see step S232 in FIG. 24 or step S292 in FIG. 29). The CPU of the effect control unit SC2 displays an effect corresponding to the received effect start command on the effect control device 70.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 53, the green “1-OPEN” character is displayed in the normal display pattern during the first combination game, and the blue “2-OPEN” character is displayed in the normal display pattern during the second combination game. And is displayed until an effect stop command transmitted at the end of the small hit game is received (see steps S443 and S438 in FIG. 43).

On the other hand, if you win a big hit, or if it is not a big hit or a small hit, as shown in Figure 4, along with the video development that fishermen on the mechanism and the anglers on the boat struggle to catch, left, middle, right The production symbols L, C, and R start to fluctuate. The fluctuation time is a predetermined special figure fluctuation time defined by the fluctuation pattern number, for example, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, or 60 seconds.
After reaching where the left effect symbol L and the right effect symbol R stop at the same number, finally, at the time of a big hit, a lucky ending that succeeds in catching the fish is displayed along with a trio of effect symbols L, C, R Is done. On the other hand, the middle production symbol C stops at a different number, and an unlucky ending that fails to catch the fish is displayed along with a non-trio of production symbols L, C, and R.

Also, at the start of the big hit game, a big hit start demonstration command including the game state flag and the first or second special figure winning flag is transmitted from the CPU of the main control unit MC1 to the CPU of the effect control unit SC2 (step S477 in FIG. 46). The CPU of the effect control unit SC2 displays an effect corresponding to the received jackpot start demo command on the effect control device 70.
For example, when a big hit of type 3 occurs, as shown in FIG. 54, the angler unloads the device and the fisherman catches the device and the angler on the boat struggles to catch the left, middle, right The production symbols L, C, and R start to fluctuate. After that, it stops in the order of the left effect symbol L, the right effect symbol R, and the middle effect symbol C, and at the time of 15R big hit, a lucky ending that succeeds in catching the fish is displayed along with a set of seven. On the other hand, an unlucky ending that fails to catch a fish is displayed together with a triple of 1 for 1R big hit and a triple of 5 for 7R big hit.

Further, as described in the above LED display processing, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, when the game state flag is 0, that is, when neither the small hit game nor the big hit game is played, the first special figure and the second special figure. Simultaneous fluctuations in the figure are allowed. That is, one of the special drawing lottery results is a big hit or missed, and a reach production with a relatively long production time is selected. In such a case, the small special game can be executed by temporarily interrupting the one special figure fluctuation.
In this case, the effect control unit SC1 recognizes that the result of the other special drawing lottery has been won by the small win by receiving the gaming state command transmitted from the main control unit MC, and performs the reach effect being executed. As shown in FIG. 4, the reach effect image in which the green “1-OPEN” character is paused at the time of a one-time game and the blue “2-OPEN” character is paused at the time of a two-time game. Overlaid on the display. Then, after the end of the small hit game, or if a win to the specific winning opening 9V occurs during the small hit game, the remaining portion of the reach effect that was paused after the third type big hit game is executed To do.

  In a very rare case, one of the special drawing lottery results is a big hit or miss, and a reach production with a relatively long production time is selected, and the other special drawing is executed during execution of the special figure fluctuation synchronized with the reach production. When the drawing lottery result is a big hit or miss and a reach production with a relatively long production time is selected, the production control unit SC1 changes the one special figure based on the production pattern number transmitted from the main control unit MC. Of the effects synchronized with the other special drawing fluctuation, it is determined which one of the effects ends first, and the one effect that ends first is preferentially displayed on the effect display device 70. Then, when the one effect is a disapproval reach effect, the remaining effect of the other effect is displayed on the effect display device 70 after the disapproval reach effect is completed, and when the effect is a big hit effect, the other effect is displayed. .

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in particular, during the electric chew support mode, it is easier to enter the second starting port 82 than in the normal state. The upper limit value 4 may be reached. When such a situation occurs in a conventional pachinko gaming machine, the player may temporarily stop the launching of the game ball, so-called stop hitting, but according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, Even if the second special figure lottery hold number reaches the upper limit value 4 during the electric Chu support mode, if the first special figure lottery hold number does not reach the upper limit value 4, the ball enters the first start port 81 As an opportunity, random number acquisition processing, first lottery processing, and first special chart change and stop processing are performed, so that stoppage can be effectively prevented, and as a result, the operation rate of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is improved. Can do.

  In addition, while both the first special figure and the second special figure are fluctuating, one of the special figures stops first, and the symbol indicating that the jackpot game is won. If any of the symbols shown and the symbol indicating that the multi-purpose game has been won is displayed, the other special symbol pauses the change and the big win game or the small hit executed after this Since the pause state is maintained until the game is finished, two big hit games, two small hit games, and the big hit game and the small hit game do not occur at the same time. Furthermore, since the other special figure fluctuation that has been paused is resumed after the big hit game or the small hit game has ended, and then stopped and displayed, the player does not feel distrust.

As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, during the electric chew support mode, the electric chew release time at the time of normal winning is increased, and the ball entering the second starting port 82 is prevented. In addition to being easy, the second special drawing lottery is frequently executed because the usual figure variation time is shortened. In addition, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), in the second special drawing lottery, since the probability of winning the double-choice game is set high, as a result, the double-choice that is likely to generate the third type big hit. Games will occur frequently.
Therefore, during the electric chew support mode with the continuation count of 100 times, consecutive chunks are generated with high probability due to the third type big hit.
Similarly, a continuous change may occur during the electric chew support mode with 4 consecutive times, but the probability is lower than in the electric chew support mode with 100 continuous times.

  From the normal mode, the promotion route of the electric chew support mode with 100 times of continuation shifts to the first promotion route that allocates the first type big hit, and first, the third type big hit is assigned and shifts to the electric chew support mode with the continuous number of times of four times. While there is a second promotion route that wins the third type jackpot during the electric chew support mode, in the normal mode, it is very difficult to enter the second start port 82, and the first start port In the 1st special drawing lottery triggered by entering 81, the probability of winning the 2nd type game where the 3rd type jackpot is likely to occur is set low, so promotion through the 2nd promotion route The probability of being promoted is extremely low, and in many cases, the promotion is made via the first promotion route.

  In addition, there are two demote routes from the electric chew support mode to the normal mode with the number of continuations of 100 times: the first demote route that allocates the first type big hit and the second demote route by digestion with the number of continuations of 100 times. Thus, the probability of demoting via the second demoting route is very low, and in many cases, demoting is via the first demoting route.

Therefore, the first promotion route that occupies most of the promotion routes from the normal mode to the electric chew support mode with the number of continuations of 100 times, and the first occupying most of the demoted routes from the electric chew support mode with the number of continuations of 100 times to the normal mode. All of the demoted routes are triggered by the first type big hit, and the game value given to the player varies greatly depending on whether or not the first type big hit has occurred during the electric chew support mode.
As a result, the player wishes to win the first kind of big hit during the normal mode, but hopes not to win the first kind of big hit during the electric chew support mode. Can be granted.

  In addition, it is possible to adjust the promotion probability from the normal state to the state where the continuous change is likely to occur and the relegation probability from the state where the continuous change is likely to occur to the normal state by setting the winning probability of the first type big hit, By appropriately setting the winning probability of the first type big hit, it is possible to prevent the gambling ability from being remarkably improved while ensuring the consecutiveness that stimulates the player's willingness to play.

It should be noted that whether or not to shift to the electric chew support mode after the big hit game and the number of continuations in the case of shifting to the electric chew support mode are not limited to the method of this embodiment (see FIG. 44), and various modifications are possible. is there. For example, in the present embodiment, when the third type big hit occurs in the normal mode, the mode is shifted to the electric chew support mode with the continuous number of times, but the continuous number is not unilaterally advantageous to the player. In this case, it may be arbitrarily determined, and the mode may be shifted to the normal mode without shifting to the electric Chu support mode. Further, in this embodiment, when the first type big hit occurs during the electric chew support mode, it is demoted to the normal mode, but it is not always necessary to demote to the normal mode. You may shift to the Chu support mode.
That is, when the first type big hit occurs during the normal mode, when the third type big hit occurs during the electric support mode, when the third type big hit occurs during the normal mode, and the electric support If it is set so as to shift to a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than when the first type big hit occurs during the mode, the same effects and gaming characteristics as the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment can be obtained.

Furthermore, when the reach display is executed by the effect display device 70, either the first type big hit is won or it is not, but as shown in FIGS. 25 (a) and (b), the first Since the ratio between the probability of winning a seed hit and the probability of losing is set to 1: 3, the probability that a jackpot game will be executed after the reach effect, that is, the jackpot reliability when the reach effect appears is 25. %.
Therefore, the reach effect appears in the normal mode and becomes the first type big hit, and the probability of being promoted to the electric chew support mode with the number of continuous times of 100 is 25%, while the reach during the electric chew support mode with the continuous number of times of 100 is reached. The probability that the production appears and is lost, and the probability that the electronic Chu support mode will continue is 75%. In this way, the reach effect is used to express the player's expectation for promotion to the electric chew support mode with a duration of 100 times during the normal mode, and the support during the electric chew support mode with the duration of 100 times. It is possible to create a new gameability that has never been seen before, such as enthusiasm for mode continuation.

In addition, each part structure of this invention is not restricted to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible within the technical scope as described in a claim. For example, in the present embodiment, the first big prize opening 9 is used as the big prize opening dedicated to the small hit game, and the second big prize opening 9C is used as the big prize opening dedicated to the big hit game, but the second big prize opening 9C is used. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the first big winning opening 9 is used even during a big hit game. In the case of using two big winning openings as in this embodiment, the number of winning balls for each big winning opening can be set separately. By setting the number of winning balls, it is possible to easily adjust the number of balls to be obtained by winning a big prize opening during a small hit game and the number of balls to be obtained by winning a big winning opening during a big hit game.
As a result, it is easy to design a ball in consideration of euphoria.

  Further, in this embodiment, for example, when the number of times of continuing the electric chew support mode is set to 100 times, electric chew support is performed when the second special figure is stopped and displayed 100 times on the second special figure display device SD2. The mode is ended and the mode is shifted to the normal mode. Instead, the number of times the first special figure is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device SD1 and the second special figure display device SD2 The electronic chew support mode may be terminated when the total number of times of the two special figures stopped and displayed reaches 100.

  Furthermore, in place of the abdomen pocket portion 41 of the present embodiment, various other movable accessories that operate according to a predetermined operation pattern during the small hit game are adopted, and the operation patterns of the movable combination are shown in FIG. In place of the operation patterns shown in FIGS. 33 (a) and 33 (b), a period in which a winning to the specific winning opening 9V becomes easy as the number of times the first large winning opening 9 is opened or the small hit game progresses. It is also possible to adopt other various operation patterns set so that the ratio of the above increases.

In addition, when entering the first start port 81 and the second start port 82, random numbers are not acquired and lottery is performed, and by entering the first start port 81, once the game is played, the second start port 82 is entered. It is also possible to apply the present invention to a so-called second-type pachinko machine in which a bonus game is generated by a specific winning during a small hit game, while a bonus game is generated twice by entering the ball.
Specifically, as with the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, a movable accessory that operates according to a predetermined operation pattern is arranged inside the first grand prize opening 9, and the operation pattern is designated as the first grand prize opening. It is set so that the ratio of the period in which the winning to the specific winning opening 9V becomes easy as the number of times of opening 9 increases and the small hit game progresses increases.
In addition, a lottery at the time of a specific win during the small win game determines which of the multiple types of big hit games to execute, and after the predetermined big hit game is finished, the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment In the same manner as described above, the mode is shifted to the support mode in which entering the second start port 82 is easier than usual.

  As a result, in the multi-time game, the first grand prize opening 9 is not only opened multiple times, but the ratio of the period during which the winning to the specific prize opening 9V is easy is the first big prize opening 9 As the number of times the game is released and the small hit game progresses, the tension and excitement of the player who wants to win a specific prize according to his / her skill can be maintained until the small hit game ends.
