In the present embodiment, the special prize opening arranged in the lower row is more advantageous in the player's advantage degree than the special prize opening arranged in the upper row in the special winning row. It is set as a high special prize opening.

  More specifically, the special winning opening provided at the top of the special winning opening rows arranged in the vertical direction is the number of times that the largest winning opening is opened at the time of the big hit game (for example, 2 times) is set. In the lower special winning opening, the number of times the opening of the large winning opening is intermediate (for example, 7 times) is set. Furthermore, the special winning opening provided in the lowermost stage is set to have the largest number of opening of the large winning opening (for example, 15 times). In other words, the more the player goes to the lower special winning opening, the higher the advantageous degree is for the player.

  Thereby, the game ball that has entered the inside of the special electric accessory takes various flow down paths due to the change in the operation modes of the plurality of rotating bodies and the plurality of tilting members provided in the special electric accessory. Although the liquidation is continued, the game machine can be expected to have an advantageous gaming state as the flow path of the game ball continuously becomes longer downward.

  Note that the high degree of advantage for the player mentioned above is not only the number of times of opening of the big winning opening at the time of jackpot game execution, for example, the big hit in the lottery process triggered by the winning of the game ball to the starting opening Increase the lottery probability for a game or the open lottery probability of a variable game member attached to a special electric accessory (so-called probability fluctuation) or a specific game (so-called short time) executed after the end of the jackpot game This includes the case where the number of times is increased, and in this way, it is possible to provide a gaming situation with a high degree of advantage to the player.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine as described above, a plurality of special winning holes having different degrees of advantage for the player are arranged inside the special electric accessory, and further provided in the special electric accessory. Since the movable members (multiple rotating bodies, multiple tilting members) operated in various modes of operation, the player has sufficient unpredictable flow paths for the game balls that have entered the special electric accessory. In order to obtain the most advantageous gaming state among the multiple special prize openings provided inside the special prize apparatus, a flow path of game balls to the lowest special prize opening is formed. As described above, it is possible to provide a gaming machine full of new interest that expects the movement modes of the movable members to be connected.

  It should be noted that the tilting member, the seesaw member, the variable game member forming the ball-entry portion of the special prize-winning device, and the like in this embodiment may be operated using an operating means such as an electromagnetic solenoid. Further, as the control means in the present embodiment, for example, a control circuit including a central processing unit composed of a CPU, a storage device composed of a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and other circuits set according to necessity is configured.

On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the game ball passing portion 28d, it passes through and flows down as it is according to the direction of the rotating body.

  Further, at both ends of the special electric accessory 55, there are entrances 55a, 55c, 55e, 55g constituting entrance entrance rows arranged vertically on the left side, and entrance entrances 55b, 55d on the right side. , 55f, 55h are arranged in a state in which a game ball guiding portion 55j for guiding a game ball to each entrance 55a (55b, 55c, 55d, 55e, 55f, 55g, 55h) projects from the lower part. ing.

  Further, long plate-like tilting members 27a, 27c, and 27e are disposed between the above-described three rotating bodies 28a, 28b, and 28c and the entrances 55a, 55c, and 55e. Tilt members 27b, 27d, and 27f are similarly arranged between the rotating body and the entrances 55b, 55d, and 55f. The tilting members 27a to 27f are pivotally supported at the ends of the respective entrances 55a to 55f, and are provided so as to be tiltable up and down with this as a fulcrum.

  Further, a tilting member 27g is disposed at the lowermost position inside the special electric accessory 55 and below the three rotating bodies disposed substantially at the center so as to be tiltable to the left and right with the center as a fulcrum. ing. This tilting member 27g is a seesaw member in the present embodiment, and is formed longer than the other tilting members 27a to 27f. The entrance 55g faces the left end of the tilting member 27g and enters the entrance 55g so as to face the right end. A ball opening 55h is provided. That is, when the game ball flows down to the tilting member 27g provided at the lowermost stage inside the special electric accessory 55, it is configured such that a winning is made at the entrance 55g or entrance 55h provided at both ends thereof. .

  In the above-described configuration, as a predetermined condition, for example, when a winning lottery for the variable game members 55L and 55R triggered by winning a game ball at the start port 24 is won, the variable game members 55L and 55R are widely opened to the game area 15. Thus, a game ball entry portion is formed, and the game ball can enter the special electric accessory 55.

  Then, the game ball that has entered the inside of the special electric accessory 55 changes any of the flow paths according to a predetermined operation mode of the three rotating bodies and the tilting members 27a to 27g, and any of the entrances 55a to 55h. It is guided by the crab and received by the game ball guiding portion 55j attached to the lower part of the entrance, respectively, and wins. Moreover, in this embodiment, the subsequent gaming state changes according to the winning entrances 55a to 55h.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the entrance 55a or the entrance 55b (so-called “losing prize entrance”) provided on the left and right of the uppermost stage, a predetermined number (for example, 5) Only) prize balls are paid out, and the gaming state does not change. However, when a game ball wins in the entrances 55a to 55h (so-called hit entrances) provided below the entrance 55a or entrance 55b provided on the left and right of the uppermost stage, a predetermined number ( For example, five (5) prize balls are paid out, and the gaming state is changed to the “hit gaming state” corresponding to the winning entrances 55c to 55h. In other words, the entrance holes 55c to 55h function as special winning openings in the present embodiment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the types of jackpot games to be executed are different also in the entrance holes 55c to 55h which are special winning openings. That is, although details will be described later, according to the entrances 55c to 55h, “2R normal jackpot game” at the entrance 55c, “2R probability big hit game” at the entrance 55d, and “7R normal at the entrance 55e. 6 different jackpot games are executed: "7R Probability Big Bonus Game" at the entrance 55f, and "15R Normal Bonus Game" at the entrance 55g, and "15R Probability Big Bonus" at the entrance 55h. Will be. That is, the occurrence of a jackpot game in the present embodiment is executed by a jackpot game having a higher degree of advantage to the player when the game ball wins a special winning opening (entrance holes 55c to 55h) arranged in the lower stage. It is assumed to be configured.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 16-18, the movable member provided in the special electric accessory 55 accompanying the opening operation of the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 in the present embodiment. The operation mode of the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting members 27a to 27g, and the change in the flow path of the game ball that has entered the special electric accessory 55 are further detailed. Explained.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when a winning lottery of the variable game members 55L and 55R triggered by the winning of a game ball at the start port 24 is won, the variable game members 55L and 55R are given a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). The game ball 15 opens widely into the game area 15 and is guided by the game nail 13 around the ball-entry portion formed by the opened variable game members 55L and 55R, so that the game ball enters the special electric accessory 55. A ball is possible.

  That is, the special electric accessory 55 is completely surrounded by the left frame member 55m, the right frame member 55n, and the closed variable game members 55L and 55R, and the variable game members 55L and 55R do not operate in the open state. As long as the game ball rolling in the game area 15 cannot enter the special electric accessory 55.

  And the game ball which entered the inside of the special electric accessory 55 is stored in the game ball detainment part 28e of the 1st rotary body 28a, the 2nd rotary body 28b, and the 3rd rotary body 28c, or a game ball passage part. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the first rotating body 28 a of the first rotating body 28 a is moved according to the operation timing of the tilting members 27 a to 27 f that pass through When the game ball flows down on the tilting member 27b provided on the right side and tilted upward, the game ball is guided to win the entrance 55b or is provided on the left side of the first rotating body 28a and tilts downward. When the game ball flows down on the tilting member 27a, it is guided to flow down to the second rotating body 28b provided below.

  In addition, the game ball reaches the tilting member 27g (seesaw member) provided at the lowermost part according to the rotation timing of the first rotary body 28a, the second rotary body 28b, and the third rotary body 28c and the operation timing of the tilting members 27a to 27f. When flowing down, the game ball enters the entrance 55g or the entrance 55h by the tilting member 27g that tilts left and right with the center as a fulcrum. Then, as described above, when a game ball wins the special entrance gates 55c to 55h, one of the six types of jackpot games is executed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the game balls that have entered the entrance 55a to the entrance 55h enter the game ball discharge path via the game ball penetration path 55K provided through the game board 14. It flows down 55P and is discharged to the outside of the game board 14. In the present embodiment, the first rotary motor M1, the second rotary motor M2, and the third rotary motor M3 are embedded in the game board 14 for each of the first rotary body 28a, the second rotary body 28b, and the third rotary body 28c. The first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, and the third rotating body 28c have their rotational directions or rotational speeds independently, and a rotating body control circuit 77 (rotating body control means). (See FIG. 5).

  The vertical cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the portion A-A ′ on the left side when the special electric accessory 55 is viewed from the player, as shown in FIG. 16. Although not shown, tilt solenoids 29a to 29f for tilting the tilt members 27a to 27f up and down are provided on the side of the entrance of the tilt members 27a to 27f inside the game board 14. 5) is buried. Although not shown, a tilting solenoid 29g (see FIG. 5) for tilting the tilting member 27g to the left and right is embedded in the center of the tilting member 27g (seesaw member), which will be described in detail later. However, the tilting operation is controlled by the tilting member control circuit 78 (see FIG. 5) which is the tilting member control means in this embodiment.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, in the vicinity where the game balls flow down from the entrances 55a to 55h to the game ball discharge path 55P, there are entrances for detecting the game balls won at the entrances 55a to 55h, respectively. Ball opening sensors S1 to S8 are respectively provided. That is, in this embodiment, although details will be described later, the entrances 55a to 55h in which the game balls are won can be detected in accordance with the detection of the game balls by the entrance sensors S1 to S8.

  Here, in this embodiment, although details will be described later, in the open lottery of the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the upper part of the special electric accessory 55, the variable game members 55L and 55R are opened as described above. In addition to “normally open”, the operation mode of the movable members (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting members 27a to 27g) provided inside the special electric accessory 55 There may be a case where a plurality of “special opening 1” or “special opening 2” determined so far is executed.

  The embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 19 is a front view illustrating “special opening 1”. FIG. 20 is a front view illustrating “special opening 2”.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the open lottery of the variable game members 55L and 55R, when “special release 1” is won, the variable game members 55L and 55R are wide in the game area 15 for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). With the opening operation, the game balls can be inserted into the special electric accessory 55 by being guided by the game nails 13 around the ball entrance formed by the opened variable game members 55L and 55R. The first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, and the third rotating body 28c provided inside the special electric accessory 55 stop rotating so that the game ball passage portion 28d communicates vertically, The game ball that has passed through the game ball passage portion 28d of the rotating body 28a is caused to flow directly down to the lowermost tilt member 27g (seesaw member).

  Then, the tilting member 27g is tilted downward to the left, and the game ball that has flowed down is awarded to the entrance 55g. That is, when “special opening 1” is executed, a “15R normal jackpot” that is relatively advantageous to the player is easily generated by winning a game ball at the entrance 55g. However, in this case, as shown in FIG. 19, all of the tilting members 27a to 27f other than the tilting member 27g receive the game balls in the respective entrances 55a to 55f provided at the ends of the tilting members 27a to 27f. Since it is in a state of being tilted upward toward the first rotator 28a, the second rotator 28b, and the third rotator 28c so as to guide, a game ball is placed in the game ball passage portion 28d of the first rotator 28a. Unless invaded, the game balls flowing down on both sides of the first rotating body 28a are all guided to the tilting member 27a or the tilting member 27b to win the entrance 55a or the entrance 55b (that is, the extra entrance). Therefore, the occurrence of the “15R normal jackpot” cannot be expected.

  In the present embodiment, in the open lottery of the variable gaming members 55L and 55R, when “special opening 1” is won, a predetermined area is displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 on the left side of the special electric accessory 55. By displaying the decoration symbol 92 (that is, a set of three numbers “333” as a number symbol) in a stopped manner, the player is notified of “special opening 1”. Of course, if the game ball does not enter the special electric accessory 55 while the variable game members 55L and 55R are open for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), of course, the above-mentioned “15R normal "Big hit" does not occur.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20, in the open lottery of the variable game members 55L and 55R, when “special release 2” is won, the variable game members 55L and 55R have the game area 15 for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). The game ball can be inserted into the special electric accessory 55 by being guided by the game nail 13 around the ball entry part formed by the open variable game members 55L and 55R. In addition, all of the tilting members 27a to 27f other than the tilting member 27g maintain the state of being tilted downward toward the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, and the third rotating body 28c. Thereby, all the game balls that have entered the inside of the special electric accessory 55 directly flow down to the lowermost tilt member 27g (seesaw member).

  Then, the tilting member 27g is tilted downward to the right, and the game ball that has flowed down is awarded to the entrance 55h. In other words, when “special release 2” is executed, the occurrence of “15R probability variation jackpot” that is most advantageous to the player in the present embodiment is determined by winning a game ball at the entrance 55h. In this case, as shown in FIG. 20, the rotation operations of the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, and the third rotating body 28c do not affect the occurrence of “15R probability variation big hit”.

  In the present embodiment, in the open lottery of the variable gaming members 55L and 55R, when “special opening 2” is won, a predetermined area is displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 on the left side of the special electric accessory 55. By displaying the decoration symbol 92 (that is, a set of three numbers “777” as a number symbol) in a stopped state, the player is notified of “special opening 2”. As a matter of course, similarly to the above-mentioned “special opening 1”, the game ball enters the special electric accessory 55 while the variable gaming members 55L and 55R are open for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). If not, the “15R probability variation jackpot” will not occur.

  In other words, as compared to “Special Open 1”, “Special Open 2” will surely lead to “15R probable big hit” as long as the game ball enters the special electric accessory 55, so the variable game that is most advantageous to the player It can be said that the members 55L and 55R are open.

  Although details will also be described later, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is only capable of winning game balls in the entrance holes 55b to 55h, which are special prize openings provided in the special electric accessory 55. In the open lottery process for the variable game members 55L and 55R, there is a case where a lottery for shifting to the “big hit game” is performed at the same time, and the “big hit game” may be executed. That is, in the present embodiment, as in the “first type gaming machine” referred to as a so-called digipachi, winning of “big hit game” by lottery processing triggered by winning of a game ball at the start opening 24, and so-called right property As in the “type 3 gaming machine” called “game machine ball”, the player wins the open lottery of the special electric accessory 55 triggered by the winning of the game ball at the start opening 24, and the open special electric accessory 55 Is a pachinko gaming machine 10 that has a chance to win a “big hit game” and two types of “big hit games” that occur when a game ball to the special prize opening wins. In recent years, it is a pachinko gaming machine 10 called a “first type and third type mixer”.

  According to the special electric accessory 55 having the above-described configuration, a plurality of movable members (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting members 27a to 27g are provided inside the special electric accessory 55. ), And according to the lottery result by the open lottery of the variable gaming members 55L and 55R attached to the upper part of the special electric accessory 55 triggered by the winning (passing) of the game ball to the starting port 24 In addition, by operating the plurality of movable members in a predetermined operation mode, the player can fully enjoy the unpredictable flow path of the game ball that has entered the special electric accessory 55, and In order to obtain the most advantageous gaming state among a plurality of special winning ports provided inside the special winning device, the movable member is formed so as to form a flow path of game balls to the lowest special winning port. Expected to be connected The pachinko gaming machine 10, which was full of new interest that can be provided.

  Here, the description will return to the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

  When a game ball wins in the starting opening 24, the general winning openings 56a and 56b, the large winning opening 39, and the winning openings 55a to 55h provided in the special electric accessory 55, the type of each winning opening is set. Accordingly, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls to the upper plate 20 or the lower plate 22 which are game ball storage units.

  In addition, an electrical decoration unit 53 is provided in the vicinity of the lower end of the door 11. As shown in FIG. 4, the electrical decoration unit 53 according to the present embodiment accommodates a special symbol display 33 and a normal symbol display 35 in a display case 37 disposed in the center thereof.

  The special symbol display 33 is composed of 7-segment LEDs. When the game ball is won at the start port 24, the 7-segment LEDs are turned on / off by the 7-segment LED of the special symbol display 33. For example, ten numeric symbols from “0” to “9” are variably displayed as special symbols. As described above, a game in which a special symbol is variably displayed and then stopped and the game state varies depending on the result is referred to as a “special symbol game” in the present embodiment.

  The special symbol displayed on the 7-segment LED is not limited to the numeric symbol, and may be a symbol symbol or the like as long as it can be displayed with an uppercase or lowercase alphabetic symbol or other 7-segment LED. . Furthermore, the special symbol display is not limited to the 7-segment LED. For example, a specific display format may be used by installing a collection of a plurality of LEDs.

  On both the left and right sides of the display case 37, special symbol holding lamps 33a to 33d are provided with the display case 37 interposed therebetween.

  The special symbol holding lamps 33a to 33d are displayed on the special symbol display 33 until the special symbol on the variable display is stopped and displayed when the game ball has won the start opening 24 while the special symbol is already displayed on the variable display. The number of times that the execution of the variable symbol special display based on the winning of the game ball at the start opening 24 is suspended (so-called “the number of special symbols held”) is displayed by lighting. Then, when the special symbol that has been variably displayed is stopped and displayed, variability display of the special symbol that has been suspended is started.

  Specifically, the special symbol hold lamps 33a to 33d are lit in order from the left in correspondence with the number of times the execution of the special symbol variation display is suspended, and the special symbol variation display is temporarily stopped. When the change display of the reserved special symbol is started, the corresponding special symbol hold lamp is turned off. Note that an upper limit is set for the number of times the execution of the special symbol variation display is suspended. For example, in the present embodiment, four times (pieces) for winning a game ball to the start port 24, that is, in this embodiment. Up to four times (pieces) at the upper limit, the change display of special symbols is suspended.

  Also, in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32, when a game ball wins the above-mentioned start opening 24, for example, a decorative design for effects including numbers etc. is displayed at the start of the variable symbol display. Fluctuation display is started. Further, when the game ball wins the start opening 24 during the variation display related to the special symbol, the effect based on the winning of the game ball at the start opening 24 until the decorative pattern for the effect during the variation display is stopped and displayed. Execution (start) of variable display of decorative symbols for use is suspended. Thereafter, when the decorative design for effect that has been variably displayed is stopped and displayed, the variable display of the decorative symbol for effect that has been put on hold is started. That is, the decorative display variation display and the special design variation display performed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 are synchronized, and the variation start and variation stop are performed at the same timing. .

  In the present embodiment, both the special symbol and the decorative symbol function as identification information, and the special symbol game which is a unit game from the change display of the special symbol to the stop display is executed in synchronization with the special symbol. The game is a “variable display game” in combination with a game in which the unit game is displayed from the change display of the decorative symbols to the stop display. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a variable display game is performed in response to a game ball winning at the start port 24. A game in which this variable display game is played is called a normal game.

  Further, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 54 (see FIG. 3) provided on the left side of the approximate center of the game area 15, the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 35 provided on the right side of the special symbol display 33. Two display lamps composed of symbols such as “◯” and “x” shown are variably displayed by alternately turning on and off.

  Further, below the display case 37, normal symbol holding lamps 35a to 35d are provided. The normal symbol holding lamps 35a to 35d are turned on or turned off when the game ball passes through the passing gate 54 during the fluctuation of the above-described normal symbols (in this embodiment, symbols such as “O”, “X”). By turning off the light, the number of times that the fluctuation display of the normal symbol being held can be executed (so-called “the number of balls held in the normal symbol”) is displayed. That is, the normal symbol hold lamps 35a to 35d are turned on sequentially from the left in accordance with the number of executions of the fluctuation display of the held normal symbols, and when the fluctuation is stopped and displayed, the next normal symbol that has been held is held. Is displayed, and the corresponding normal symbol holding lamp is turned off. Note that an upper limit is set for the number of times that the execution of the variable symbol display is suspended. For example, the upper limit is four times (pieces).

  When this normal symbol is stopped and displayed as a predetermined symbol, for example, “◯”, the blade members (so-called “normal electric accessories”) 23 provided as variable game members on the left and right sides of the start port 24 are released from the closed state. The game ball easily enters the start port 24 by changing to the state. Further, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the blade member 23 is opened, the blade member 23 is closed to make it difficult for a game ball to enter the start port 24.

  As described above, a game in which the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner and then stopped and the open / closed state of the blade member 23 differs depending on the result is referred to as a “normal symbol game”.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 are triggered by the winning of the game ball at the start port 24. An open lottery process (including a lottery for shifting to a jackpot game) is performed, and based on the lottery result, the special symbol display 33 performs variable symbol display and stop display.

  In the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32, a variable display game is executed in which a plurality of decorative symbols corresponding to the special symbols to be stopped and displayed are variably displayed and stopped and displayed in a predetermined combination. The effect display using the effect image etc. accompanying this variable display game is performed. When the lottery result is a win, as described above, the game balls that roll the game area 15 by opening the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 are It is possible to enter the ball. And, when a game ball wins a game entrance 55c to 55h (that is, a special game entrance) among a plurality of game entrances 55a to 55h provided in the special electric accessory 55, a predetermined jackpot game It moves to. In this embodiment, even if a game ball wins at the entrance 55a and the entrance 55b, it does not shift to a jackpot game. That is, the entrance 55a and the entrance 55b fall under “out”. The entrance to play.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as an example of an accessory, an accessory of the big prize opening 39 used at the time of the big hit game is described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more on the game board are described. Any number of objects may be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display device 32 composed of a liquid crystal display panel is used as a portion for displaying an image.

[Game machine operation]
Here, the game of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in this embodiment will be briefly described. In the present embodiment, the games of the pachinko gaming machine 10 are roughly divided into normal games (games that consume game balls, games that are relatively disadvantageous to the player compared to jackpot games) and jackpot games (players). Therefore, it can be divided into a so-called game advantageous for a player who can expect to acquire a large amount of game balls in a short time.

  Furthermore, in the jackpot game in the present embodiment, the entrance holes 55c to 55g (special prize opening) among the entrance openings 55a to 55g provided inside the special electric accessory 55 by the special electric accessory control process described later. ), 6 types of jackpot games are determined: 2R probability variable jackpot game, 2R normal jackpot game, 7R normal jackpot game, 7R probability jackpot game, 15R regular jackpot game, and 15R probability jackpot game.

  In addition, when one of the six types of jackpot games is executed, a predetermined number of times corresponding to each of the six types of jackpot games (2R normal jackpot game or 2R probability variation jackpot game twice, 7R normal jackpot game or 7R probability variation) The shutter 40 (see FIG. 3) attached to the big prize opening 39 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), with an upper limit of 7 times for the big win game and 15 times for the 15R normal big hit game or 15R probability variable big hit game). By repeating the above, it becomes easy to win the game balls launched into the game area 15 to the big winning opening 39, and the player can acquire a large number of prize balls in a short time. Acquiring such a jackpot game (winning the jackpot game) is the greatest goal of general players, and can be said to be the best part of a pachinko game.

  On the other hand, the normal game in the present embodiment is executed under three types of game modes: a low probability mode, a high probability mode, and a time reduction mode (special game mode). Here, the transition of the modes of the three types of normal games (low probability mode, high probability mode, and short time mode) and their characteristics will be briefly described below.

  The low probability mode is a basic mode in the pachinko gaming machine 10, and when the power is turned on to the pachinko gaming machine 10, the game is started from the low probability mode. In the low probability mode, the lottery probability is set to be relatively lower than the open lottery probability (including the lottery probability of “big hit”) of the special electric accessory 55 in the high probability mode.

  The high probability mode is a special high probability game state in which a transition is made after the end of the three types of jackpot games of the 2R probability variation jackpot game, the 7R probability variation jackpot game, and the 15R probability variation jackpot game among the six types of jackpot games in the normal game. The high probability mode is characterized in that the lottery probability is set to be relatively higher than the open lottery probability (including the “bonus” lottery probability) of the special electric accessory 55 in the low probability mode. is there. In this high probability mode, the duration is determined. And after the end of the jackpot game, the number of special symbol changes (for example, 50 times) is set as the duration.

  Finally, the time saving mode (special game mode) is a game mode set after the end of the six types of jackpot games. In this normal game, the time-saving mode means that the variation time from when the special symbol and the normal symbol are started to be displayed and stopped is shorter than the low probability mode and the high probability mode. When the result of the lottery is “winning” (that is, when the display lamp is stopped and displayed with “◯” in the above-described normal symbol display 35 (see FIG. 4)), the blade member attached to the start port 24 The opening time of 23 is set longer than the low probability mode and the high probability mode. Such control may be referred to as “electric chew support” in the present embodiment.

  As described above, when “electric chew support” is executed, it becomes easy for a game ball to win a prize at the start port 24, so that the payout of prize balls for winning at the start port 24 per unit time also increases. This is an advantageous state for the player because there is little loss of the game (so-called “ball holding” is in a good state). Further, in the present embodiment, when the open lottery of the special electric accessory 55 triggered by the winning of the game ball at the start port 24 is won, the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 are opened. As a result, the chances for game balls to enter the special electric accessory 55 increase, and the jackpot game triggered by winning the game balls at the plurality of entrances 55c to 55g (special prize entrances). Occurrence can also be expected.

  In addition, the duration of the short time mode is determined. For example, after the jackpot game is over, the number of special symbol changes (for example, 50) is set as the duration.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the game mode is normally set under the four game modes of “low probability mode”, “high probability mode”, “low probability mode + short time mode” and “high probability mode + short time mode”. A game will be performed, and the game state will change according to changes in the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 (that is, the occurrence of the six types of jackpot games, execution of the mode switching, etc.).

  Hereinafter, the processing executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in accordance with the change in the gaming state described above is shown in FIGS.

[Main processing]
As shown in FIG. 7, first, the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 executes initial setting processing such as RAM access permission, backup restoration processing, and work area initialization (step S11). Then, as will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 9, a special symbol control process for controlling the progress of the special symbol game is executed (step S12). Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 13, but a normal symbol control process for controlling the progress of the normal symbol game is executed (step S13). Thus, in the main process, after the initial setting process in step S11 is completed, the processes in step S12 and step S13 are repeatedly executed.

[System timer interrupt processing]
Further, the main CPU 66 may interrupt the main process and execute the system timer interrupt process even when the main process is being executed. A system timer interrupt process executed in response to clock pulses generated every predetermined period (for example, 2 milliseconds) from the reset clock pulse generation circuit 62 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8, first, the main CPU 66 executes a random number update process for updating each lottery value such as for the special electric accessory opening lottery (step S21). Then, the main CPU 66 executes an input detection process for detecting a winning of a game ball to the start port 24 or the like (step S22). In this process, the main CPU 66 detects that a game ball has been won at various winning holes, and stores data indicating that the game ball is paid out (wins) in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70.

  Further, in this input detection process (step S22), when the main CPU 66 detects the winning of the game ball to the start port 24, the main CPU 66 reads the random number value updated in the random number update process (step S21), and a maximum of four Is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70 as the upper limit of the number of reservations.

  Then, the winning of the game ball to the starting port 24 and the random number value stored in the predetermined area of the main RAM 70 here are the special electric equipment release lottery process (steps) of the special symbol storage check process (see FIG. 10) described later (step). It will be referred to in S64). When this process ends, the process moves to a step S23.

  In step S23, timer update processing is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 is a waiting time timer for synchronizing the main control circuit 60 and the sub control circuit 200, and a large time for measuring the opening time of the big winning opening 39 that is opened when a big hit game is generated. Update processing of various timers such as a prize opening timer. Then, when this process ends, the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S24, an output process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 supplies a signal for drive control based on various output requests stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70 to a solenoid, a motor, and the like. That is, in each process described later, the main CPU 66 outputs signals to various driving game members (game members that are arranged in the game area 15 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and change their forms according to the game state). When the request is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70, a signal corresponding to the request is output. For example, a normal electric accessory solenoid 118 for opening or closing the blade member 23 attached to the start port 24 and a variable game member 55L, 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 are opened or closed. When there is a drive request for each solenoid such as the special electric accessory solenoid 119 and the special prize opening solenoid 120 for opening or closing the shutter 40 attached to the special prize opening 39, a control signal is output, A process of driving the driving game member is performed.

  Further, in this output process, the main CPU 66 is configured to display various indicators (special symbol display 33, normal symbol indicator 35, special symbol holding lamps 33a to 33d, etc.) installed in the illumination unit 53 (see FIG. 4). If a symbol change request or stop request corresponding to each of the normal symbol hold lamps 35a to 35d) or a lamp turn-on request or a turn-off request is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70, the corresponding lighting unit It controls the change or stop of the symbols, or the lighting or extinguishing of the lamps of various indicators installed at 53 (see FIG. 4). And when this process is complete | finished, a process is moved to step S25.

  In step S25, command output processing is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 supplies various command signals to the sub control circuit 200. These various command signals include, for example, a demonstration display command that is derived and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32, a derived symbol designation command that designates the type of decorative symbol for presentation, and the like. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S26.

  In step S26, the main CPU 66 executes a payout process such as transmitting a prize ball control command signal for causing the payout device 128 to play a prize ball to the payout / firing control circuit 126. Specifically, the main CPU 66 supplies to the payout / launch control circuit 126 a prize ball control command signal for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls as a result of the game balls winning in various winning holes. . When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished, the address is returned to the address before the occurrence of the interrupt, and the main process is executed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the random number value updated within a predetermined range (for example, 1 to 30000) in the random number update process (step S21) is read at the timing when the game ball wins the start opening 24 and is variable. The game members 55L and 55R are used as random numbers for the open lottery. However, the means for acquiring the random number value is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment. For example, a dedicated random number generator or the like is provided in the main control circuit 60, and within a predetermined range (for example, 1 to 30000). A random value updated at random may be read out at the timing when the game ball wins the start opening 24 and used as a random value for the open lottery of the variable game members 55L and 55R.

[Special symbol control processing]
The special symbol control process executed in step S12 in FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in the process of step S31, the main CPU 66 loads a special symbol control flag. In this process, the main CPU 66 reads the special symbol control flag and moves the process to step S32.

  In step S32, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special symbol control flag is (00). If the special symbol control flag is not (00), the main CPU 66 proceeds to step S34. If the special symbol control flag is (00), the process proceeds to step S33 to perform a special symbol storage check process. Although the details will be described later in this special symbol memory check process, the number of reserved special symbols is checked, and when there is a number of reserved symbols, the special electric accessory 55 in the present embodiment, lottery start, special symbol variation start, special symbol The variable timer is set, and the special symbol control flag is set to (01), which is the processing request for the next step, and the processing is terminated.

  In step S34, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special symbol control flag is (01). If the special symbol control flag is not (01), the main CPU 66 shifts the processing to step S40. When the special symbol control flag is (01), special symbol variation time monitoring processing is performed. That is, in step S35, it is determined whether or not the special symbol variation timer is up (that is, “0”). If the time is not up, the process is terminated. If the time is up, the main CPU 66 shifts the processing to step S36.

  In step S36, the main CPU 66 performs a special symbol stop process. In this special symbol stop process, the main CPU 66 stores a change stop request for the special symbol being changed and displayed in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70 corresponding to the start port 24. Then, the special symbol fluctuation stop request stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70 in this process is the illumination unit 53 (see FIG. 4) in the output process (FIG. 8, step S24) of the system timer interrupt process described above. In response to the start port 24, the special symbol being displayed in a variable manner is variably stopped. When this process ends, the process moves to a step S37.

  In step S37, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the open lottery for the special electric accessory 55 has been won. If the special electric accessory 55 is not to be released, the process proceeds to step S39. On the other hand, when the special electric accessory 55 is opened, the big hit check process in step S38 is performed. In the present embodiment, in the special symbol memory check process described later, when performing the open lottery of the special electric accessory 55, since the lottery for shifting to the “big hit game” is also performed at the same time, The main CPU 66 determines whether or not the “big hit game” is won in addition to the winning lottery of the special electric accessory 55 described above, and if it is won, the special symbol control flag indicates that the big win game is displayed. A value (03) indicating execution (that is, opening of the big winning opening 39) is set, and a waiting time (for example, 1 second) is set in the big winning opening waiting timer, and this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the “big hit game” may be executed without going through the opening of the special electric accessory 55. In this case, the “big hit game” is “15R probability variable big hit game”. Will be executed. On the other hand, when the above-mentioned lottery for the special electric accessory 55 is won, but the “big hit game” is not won, the special symbol control flag is made to execute the opening control of the special electric accessory 55. A value (02) indicating this is set and this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S39, the main CPU 66 executes a game mode end process. In this game mode end process, when the current normal game is in the high probability mode or the short time mode, the main CPU 66 stores a predetermined special symbol stored in the predetermined area of the main RAM 70 for each of the high probability mode or the short time mode. When the number of fluctuations is subtracted (that is, -1) and the memory is updated, and the updated value is "0", the high probability mode or the short time mode is terminated (that is, the high probability mode is switched to the low probability mode, Mode is reset). Then, the special symbol control flag is cleared (that is, a value (00) for requesting the special symbol storage check process is set), and this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S40, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special symbol control flag is (02). If the special symbol control flag is not (02), the process proceeds to step S42. If the special symbol control flag is (02), a special electric accessory control process is performed in step S41. Although the details will be described later in this special electric accessory control process, the main CPU 66 opens the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 and places a game ball inside the special electric accessory 55. Can be entered, and operation control of the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c and the tilting members 27a to 27g provided in the special electric accessory 55 is executed. And when the game ball which entered the inside of the special electric accessory 55 wins the entrance 55a-55h similarly provided in the inside of the special electric accessory 55, each winning entrance 55a- Processing according to 55h is performed. Then, when this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In step S42, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special symbol control flag is (03). If the special symbol control flag is not (03), the main CPU 66 proceeds to step S45. When the special symbol control flag is (03), a special winning opening release process is performed. In the big prize opening process, first, the main CPU 66 determines in step S43 whether or not the big prize opening waiting timer is timed up (that is, “0”). If the time is not up, the process is terminated. If the time is up, a special winning opening opening process is performed in step S44. In this special winning opening opening process, the main CPU 66 first sets the opening of the special winning opening 39 (stores the opening instruction of the special winning opening solenoid 120 by the shutter 40 in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70), and then The opening time (for example, 30 seconds) of the big winning opening 39 is set in the big winning opening timer. Then, the special symbol control flag is set to a value (04) indicating the special winning opening release monitoring process, and the process is terminated.

  In step S45, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special symbol control flag is (04). If the special symbol control flag is not (04), the process proceeds to step S50. When the special symbol control flag is (04), a special winning opening opening monitoring process is performed. In the big prize opening monitoring process, first, the main CPU 66 determines whether the big prize opening timer has timed out (ie, “0”) in step S46, or whether a predetermined number of game balls have won the big prize opening 39. Judge whether or not. Then, when the time of the grand prize opening timer expires, and at the same time, if the prescribed number of game balls have not won the grand prize opening 39, the processing is terminated. Then, when the time of the winning opening opening timer expires, or when the prescribed number of game balls in the big winning opening 39 satisfy one of the conditions for winning, the process proceeds to step S47.

  In step S47, the main CPU 66 executes a special winning opening closing process. In this special winning opening closing process, the main CPU 66 stores an instruction to close the special winning opening solenoid 120 by the shutter 40 in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70, and proceeds to step S48.

  In step S48, the main CPU 66 counts the number of times of winning a prize opening (so-called number of rounds), determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 15 for 15R probability variation big hit) has been reached, and has reached the predetermined number. If so, the process proceeds to step S50. On the other hand, if the number of times of opening of the big prize opening has not reached the specified number of times, a waiting process for waiting for opening of the big prize opening is performed in step S49. In this special winning opening release waiting process, the main CPU 66 sets a value (03) for requesting the special winning opening 39 to be opened again in the special symbol control flag, and sets a waiting time (for example, 1 second) as a special winning opening release waiting timer. To set to end.

  In step S50, the main CPU 66 performs jackpot end processing. In the jackpot end process, the number of fluctuations of a predetermined special symbol (for example, 50 times) is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70 as the duration of the short-time mode, and the predetermined special symbol is The number of fluctuations (for example, 50 times) is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. Finally, the main CPU 66 clears the special symbol control flag (that is, sets a value (00) for requesting the special symbol storage check process), and ends the special symbol control process.

[Special symbol memory check processing]
The special symbol memory check process executed in step S33 in FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S61, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the number of special symbols held when the game ball is won at the start port 24 is “0”. If “0”, the process proceeds to step S62, and if the number of special symbols to be held is not “0” (that is, if there is a special symbol change request), the process proceeds to step S63.

  In step S62, the main CPU 66 executes a demo display process. In this process, the main CPU 66 sends a demo display command signal to the sub-control circuit 200 in order to perform a demo display. As a result, the sub-control circuit 200 can recognize that the customer waiting state (predetermined waiting state) has been reached. When this process ends, the special symbol storage check process ends.

  In step S63, the main CPU 66 sets a value (01) for requesting special symbol variation time management to the special symbol control flag, and moves the process to step S64.

  In step S64, a special electric accessory release lottery process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 selects 1 from a plurality of special electric accessory release lottery tables (see FIG. 6) having different lottery values based on the current game mode (low probability mode, high probability mode) of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Select two special electric goods opening lottery tables. Then, the lottery for opening the special electric accessory 55 is executed by referring to the random number for opening the special electric accessory extracted when the game ball wins the starting opening 24 and the selected special electric accessory release lottery table. To do. Here, with reference to FIG. 6, the special electric accessory opening lottery table according to the present embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, as the lottery values for opening the special electric accessory 55, three types of lottery values of “normally open”, “special open 1”, and “special open 2” , A total of five types of lottery values including “big hit” and “out of” lottery values are set in the special electric accessory release lottery table. Then, by referring to the random number value for opening the special electric accessory extracted when the game ball wins the start opening 24 and the five kinds of lottery values, the special electric accessory 55 is released, “big hit” or “Out of” will be determined.

  In the present embodiment, among the three types (“normal opening”, “special opening 1”, and “special opening 2”) of the special electric accessory 55 open lottery, “special opening 1” or “special opening” 2 is selected, the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 are opened and provided inside the special electric accessory 55 in the special electric accessory control process (see FIG. 11). Three rotating bodies (first rotating body 28a, second rotating body 28b, third rotating body 28c) and a plurality of tilting members (tilting members 27a to 27g) are also operated in a predetermined operation mode, and are also special electric functions. There is a case in which a prize is urged to a specific entrance among the entrances 55a to 55h provided in the object 55.

  Furthermore, as shown in the drawing, in the special electric accessory release lottery table in the low probability mode and the special electric accessory release lottery table in the high probability mode, the special electric accessory 55 is The lottery value for opening (including the lottery value for “big hit”) is set to “1000/30000” in the low probability mode, whereas it is set to “2000/30000” in the high probability mode. .

  That is, the sum of the lottery value for opening the special electric accessory 55 and the lottery value of “big hit”, that is, the probability of winning the special electric accessory 55 is 1/30 in the low probability mode. On the other hand, in the high probability mode, it is set to 2/30 (1/15).

  In other words, the probability of opening the special electric accessory 55 differs depending on the game mode (low probability mode and high probability mode), and when the normal game is played in the high probability mode, the game shifts to the jackpot game. Since the probability of performing is improved twice as compared with the low probability mode, the high probability mode is an advantageous state for the player.

  Returning to the description of the special symbol memory check process using FIG.

  When the special electric combination release lottery process in step S64 using the special electric combination release lottery table described above ends, the main CPU 66 moves the process to step S65.

  In step S65, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special electric accessory 55 opening lottery process in step S64 has won the open lottery of the special electric accessory 55 (including the “bonus” lottery). In the case of, the procedure is moved to step S66. On the other hand, if it has not been won, the process proceeds to step S67.

  In step S66, a special symbol determination process that is a winning symbol is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 determines a special symbol to be displayed corresponding to the winning result of the open lottery (including the “big hit” lottery) of the special electric accessory 55 determined in step S64. For example, a special symbol “1” is determined for “normal release”, a special symbol “3” for “special opening 1”, a special symbol “7” for “special opening 2”, and A special symbol is determined corresponding to each winning result, such as a special symbol “5” for “big hit”. Then, the determined special symbol is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. As a result, a special symbol corresponding to the winning result is derived and displayed on the special symbol display 33 installed in the illumination unit 53 (see FIG. 4). Then, when this process ends, the process moves to a step S68.

  In step S67, a missing symbol determination process is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 determines a special symbol (for example, a number “0”) corresponding to the off symbol and stores it in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. As a result, a special symbol corresponding to the detachment is derived and displayed on the special symbol display 33 installed in the illumination unit 53 (see FIG. 4). If this process ends, the process moves to a step S68.

  In step S68, a gaming state determination process is performed. In this gaming state determination process, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the current normal game is in the time-saving mode, and if it is in the time-saving mode, the process proceeds to step S70. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current normal game is not in the time reduction mode, the special symbol variation time (for example, 10 seconds) in the low probability mode or the high probability mode is set in the special symbol variation timer in step S69. Store in a predetermined area. Then, the process proceeds to step S71.

  In step S70, the main CPU 66 sets the special symbol variation time in the short time mode (a time shorter than the special symbol variation time in the low probability mode, for example, 5 seconds) in the special symbol variation timer, and stores it in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. Remember. Then, the process proceeds to step S71.

  In step S71, the main CPU 66 stores, in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70, a request for starting the variable display with respect to the special symbol display 33 (see FIG. 4) corresponding to the start opening 24 where the game ball has won. The process moves to step S72.

  By this process, the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 33 in accordance with the variation time set in the special symbol variation timer in the steps S69 and S70. After the time is up), the special symbol of “winning symbol” or “off symbol” determined in step S66 and step S67 is stopped and displayed.

  In step S72, the decoration pattern displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 and the effect time determination process are performed. In this process, the main CPU 66 determines the liquid crystal based on the data of “winning symbol” or “outlier symbol” stored in step S66 or step S67 and the special symbol variation time stored in step S69 or step S70. The decorative design and effect time displayed in the display area 32 a of the display device 32 are determined and stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. Then, when this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  The decorative design and effect time displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 stored here are transmitted from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 to the sub control circuit 200 by the command output process in step S25 of FIG. Is supplied to the sub CPU 206 as a derived symbol designation command. As a result, in the sub-control circuit 200, the decorative design for effect is derived and displayed on the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 (see FIG. 19), and the variation time of the decorative design is also determined. That is, in the illumination unit 53 (see FIG. 4), the variation time of the special symbol derived and displayed on the special symbol display 33 and the variation time of the decoration symbol derived and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 are synchronized. Will be.

[Special electric accessory control processing]
The subroutine executed in step S41 in FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main CPU 66 reads the special electric accessory control flag in step S150, and when this process ends, the process moves to step S151. This special electric accessory control flag is an internal variable for executing this subroutine, and is assigned to a predetermined area of the main RAM 70.

  In step S151, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special electric accessory control flag is (00). If the special electric accessory control flag is not (00), the main CPU 66 shifts the processing to step S157. If the special electric accessory control flag is (00), the process proceeds to step S152.

  In step S152, the main CPU 66 moves the movable member (three rotating bodies (first rotating body 28a, second rotating body 28b, third rotating body 28c) provided in the special electric accessory 55 and a plurality of rotating members. The operation mode of the tilting members (tilting members 27a to 27g) is determined.

  Here, as described above, in this embodiment, the three rotating bodies (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, and the third rotating body 28c) provided inside the special electric accessory 55 and By operating a plurality of tilting members (tilting members 27a to 27g) in a predetermined operation mode, a game ball that has entered the special electric accessory 55 is also inserted into the special electric accessory 55. There is a case in which a prize is urged to a specific entrance among the entrances 55a to 55h.

  Specifically, for example, in the special symbol memory check process (see FIG. 10), when “special opening 1” is won, the main CPU 66, as described above, the first rotating body 28a and the second rotating body. 28b, the rotation of the game ball passing portion 28d provided in the third rotating body 28c is stopped so as to communicate vertically with the lowermost tilting member 27g, and the tilting member 27g (seesaw member) is tilted upward to the right. Control is performed so that the game ball that has entered the special electric accessory 55 enters an operation mode (see FIG. 19) that prompts a player to enter the entrance 55g (special prize opening).

  When the “special opening 2” is won, the main CPU 66 tilts all the tilting members 27a to 27f so that the game balls fall and reach the lowermost tilting member 27g as described above. 27g (seesaw member) is tilted upward to the left, and an operation mode (see FIG. 20) that prompts a game ball that has entered the special electric accessory 55 to enter the entrance 55h (special prize opening). Control to be.

  When “normally open” is won, the main CPU 66 determines the rotation direction for each of the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, and the third rotating body 28c with a predetermined lottery probability, and the tilting member 27a. Each inclination mode of ˜27 g is also determined with a predetermined lottery probability. That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 are opened by “normal opening” other than the “special opening 1” and “special opening 2” described above, The operation mode of the movable members (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting members 27a to 27g) provided in the electric accessory 55 is not always in a constant pattern. The operation mode is determined for each movable member.

  The movable members (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting member provided inside the special electric accessory 55 determined in the movable member operation mode determination process in step S152. 27a to 27g) is instructed from the main CPU 66 to the rotating body control circuit 77 and the tilting member control circuit 78 (see FIG. 5). Then, the rotating body control circuit 77 includes a first rotating motor M1, a second rotating motor M2, and a third rotating motor M3 (which are provided on the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, and the third rotating body 28c, respectively. In contrast, the rotation operation is controlled by outputting a predetermined operation signal. Further, the tilting member control circuit 78 controls the tilting operation by outputting a predetermined operation signal to the tilting solenoids 29a to 29g (see FIG. 5) provided in the tilting members 27a to 27g, respectively. When this process ends, the process moves to a step S153.

  In step S153, the main CPU 66 sets the opening time (for example, 2 seconds) of the variable gaming members 55L and 55R in the variable gaming member opening timer. In step S154, the main CPU 66 stores a request for opening the variable gaming members 55L and 55R in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. Further, in step S155, the main CPU 66 sets a value (01) for requesting monitoring of the variable gaming member release timer in the special electric accessory control flag, stores it in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70, and ends this subroutine. .

  In step S157, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special electric accessory control flag is (01). If the special electric accessory control flag is not (01), the process proceeds to step S162. If the special electric accessory control flag is (01), it is determined in step S158 whether or not the variable gaming member release timer has timed out (ie, “0”), and the time has not expired. Terminates this subroutine. On the other hand, if the time is up, in step S159, the main CPU 66 sets a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds) in the gaming ball flow-down waiting timer, and moves the process to step S160.

  In step S160, the main CPU 66 stores a request for closing the variable gaming members 55L and 55R in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. In step S161, the main CPU 66 sets a value (02) for monitoring the game ball flow-down waiting timer to the special electric accessory control flag, and stores it in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. When this process ends, this subroutine ends.

In step S162, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the special electric accessory control flag is (02). If the special electric accessory control flag is not (02), the main CPU 66 ends the present subroutine. If the special electric accessory control flag is (02), it is determined in step S163 whether or not the game ball flow waiting timer has timed up (that is, “0”), and the time has not expired. Terminates this subroutine. On the other hand, if the time is up, the process proceeds to step S164. In step S164, the main CPU 66 monitors whether or not the game ball that has won the special electric accessory 55 has won the entrances 55a to 55h. A game ball winning check process is executed. In this game ball winning check process, as will be described in detail later, a game that has entered the special electric accessory 55 by opening the variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 for a predetermined time. The flow path of the sphere is changed by a movable member (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting members 27a to 27g) also provided in the special electric accessory 55. Then, it is determined whether any of the entrances 55a to 55h has been won, and in particular, when a winning to the entrances 55c to 55h, which are special entrances, is detected, the winning entrance is determined according to the winning entrance. The “big hit game” is finalized. In step S165, the main CPU 66 resets the special electric accessory control flag, which is an internal variable of this subroutine (that is, sets “0”), and ends this subroutine.

  As described above, in the special electric accessory control process according to the present embodiment, when the game ball is won at the start port 24, the special electric accessory 55 is open lottery and the open lottery is won. The variable game members 55L and 55R attached to the special electric accessory 55 are opened for a predetermined time so that a game ball can enter the special electric accessory 55 and provided inside the special electric accessory 55. The movable members (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting members 27a to 27g) are also controlled to operate in a predetermined operation mode.

  The opening request and closing request for the variable gaming members 55L and 55R set in this subroutine are referred to in the output process (step S24) of the system timer interrupt process (see FIG. 8) described above, and the special electric accessory solenoid In response to 119, an opening and closing instruction is output.

  Further, various timers such as the variable game member release timer and the game ball flow-down timer set in this subroutine are updated in the timer update process (step S23) of the system timer interrupt process (see FIG. 8) described above. The result is referred to in this subroutine.

[Game ball winning check process]
A subroutine executed in step S164 of FIG. 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S180, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the game ball that has won the special electric accessory 55 has detected winning in the ball entrances 55c to 55h, which are the special prize entrances in the present embodiment. If not, the process proceeds to step 184. On the other hand, if it is detected, in step S181, the main CPU 66 executes a jackpot game setting process.

  That is, in this jackpot game setting process, in accordance with the winning of game balls to the entrances 55c to 55h, which are the special winning entrances, for example, in the winning to the entrance 55c, "2R normal jackpot" “2R probable jackpot” for winning the ball entrance 55d, “7R normal jackpot” for winning the entrance 55e, “7R promising jackpot” for winning the entrance 55f, “7R promising jackpot” for winning the entrance 55g “15R normal jackpot” and “15R probability variable jackpot” are stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70 when winning the entrance 55h. In other words, in the present embodiment, among the entrance holes 55c to 55h that are the special prize openings, the game game balls are awarded to the special prize openings installed in the lower tier, and the “big hit game” with a higher degree of advantage of the player is obtained. The configuration can be provided. Then, when this process ends, the process moves to a step S182.

  In step S182, the main CPU 66 sets a special prize opening release waiting time (for example, 1 second) in the special prize opening waiting timer. In step S183, the main CPU 66 sets the special symbol control flag to a value (03) indicating the waiting for opening of the big prize opening, and ends this subroutine.

  Here, the special winning opening release waiting timer and the special symbol control flag set in Steps S182 and S183 are internal variables that are referred to in order to execute the above-described special symbol control process (see FIG. 9). A dedicated storage area is set in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. Then, by setting the special symbol control flag to a value (03) indicating waiting for opening of the big winning opening, a big hit game is executed in the special symbol control process (see FIG. 9).

  In step S184, the main CPU 66 clears the special symbol control flag (that is, sets a value (00) for requesting the special symbol storage check process), and ends this subroutine.

[Normal symbol control processing]
The subroutine executed in step S13 in FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main CPU 66 loads a normal symbol control flag in step S101. In this process, the main CPU 66 reads the normal symbol control flag. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S102.

  In step S102, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the normal symbol control flag is a value (00) indicating a normal symbol storage check request. If the normal symbol control flag is not (00), the process proceeds to step S104. . If the normal symbol control flag is (00), the normal symbol storage check process in step S103 is performed. This normal symbol storage check process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 14, but the main CPU 66 checks the number of reserved normal symbols, and when there is a number of reserved symbols, the main CPU 66 determines whether the normal symbol is hit, starts changing the normal symbol, The normal symbol variation timer is set, etc., and (01) which is the processing request for the next step is set in the normal symbol control flag, and the processing is terminated.

  In step S104, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the normal symbol control flag is (01). If the normal symbol control flag is not (01), the process proceeds to step S107. If the normal symbol control flag is (01), it is determined in step S105 whether the normal symbol variation timer has timed up (that is, “0”). If the time has not expired, the process ends. . On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation timer expires, the main CPU 66 performs a normal symbol stop process in step S106. In this normal symbol stop process, the main CPU 66 sets a request to stop the fluctuation to the normal symbol display 35 and stores it in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. As a result, the normal symbol display 35 displays the determination result of “success” or “displacement” of the normal symbol determined by the normal symbol storage check process. When this process is completed, the stored number of normal symbols stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70 is updated so as to decrease by “1”. Then, (02) is set in the normal symbol control flag and the process is terminated.

  In step S107, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the normal symbol control flag is (02). If the normal symbol control flag is not (02), the process proceeds to step S111. If the normal symbol control flag is (02), the process proceeds to step S108 to determine whether or not the normal symbol is a hit. If the main CPU 66 determines that the normal symbol is a winning symbol, the main CPU 66 shifts the process to the normal electric accessory release process in step S109. On the other hand, when determining that the normal symbol is not a hit, the main CPU 66 sets a value (00) for requesting the normal symbol storage check to the normal symbol control flag and ends the processing in step S110.

  In the ordinary electric accessory release process in step S109, the main CPU 66 performs an opening process of the blade member 23, which is an ordinary electric accessory (stores the release of the ordinary electric accessory in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70). Furthermore, according to the gaming state of the gaming table, the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory (wing member 23) (for example, 3 seconds when the game mode is the short time mode, 0.2 seconds when the high probability mode or the low probability mode is used) ) Is set in the normal electric accessory release timer, (03) is set in the normal symbol control flag, and the process is terminated.

  In step S111, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the normal symbol control flag is (03). If the normal symbol control flag is not (03), the process proceeds to step S114. If the normal symbol control flag is (03), the process proceeds to step S112 to determine whether the normal electric accessory release timer has timed up (that is, “0”). Then, when the normal electric accessory release timer has not expired, the process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal electric accessory release timer has timed out, in the normal electric accessory closing process of step S113, the blade member 23, which is an ordinary electric accessory, is closed (normally in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70). Memorize the closing of the electric accessory). Then, (04) is set in the normal symbol control flag and the process is terminated.

  In step S114, the main CPU 66 clears the normal symbol control flag (that is, sets the value “00” for requesting the normal symbol storage check) and ends the process.

[Normal symbol memory check processing]
The subroutine executed in step S103 in FIG. 13 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S121, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the normal symbol holding number is “0”. If it is determined that the normal symbol holding number is “0”, the normal symbol storage check is performed. The process ends. This normal symbol holding number is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. When it is detected that a game ball has passed through the passing gate 54, the normal symbol holding number increases by "1" with the predetermined number (for example, "4") as an upper limit. When the variable display of the normal symbol in the normal symbol game is completed, “1” is subtracted and the memory is updated. On the other hand, if the main CPU 66 determines that the number of retained normal symbols is not “0”, in step S122, the main CPU 66 sets the value “01” of the normal symbol variation timer monitoring request to the normal symbol control flag, and then proceeds to step S123. Move processing.

  In step S123, a normal symbol hit determination process is executed. In this processing, the main CPU 66 determines the normal symbol per-determining random number extracted when the normal symbol starting region passes (by passing the game ball through the passing gate 54) and the normal symbol per-unit determination stored in the main ROM 68. Refers to the value. Then, as a result of the reference, when the random value for determination per ordinary symbol matches the determination value per ordinary symbol as a result of the reference, the main CPU 66 stores data indicating the winning symbol (for example, “◯” symbol) in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. To remember. On the other hand, as a result of the reference, when the random value for determination per normal symbol does not match the determination value per normal symbol as a result of the reference, the main CPU 66 stores data indicating an off symbol (for example, “×” symbol) in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. To remember. The main CPU 66 instructs the display control circuit 76 to store the winning symbol and the off symbol thus stored. As a result, in the illumination unit 53 (see FIG. 4), the normal symbol display 35 starts normal symbol variation display (for example, “O” and “X” symbols are alternately blinked). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S124.

  In step S124, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not the normal game is in the time reduction mode. If the normal game is in the time reduction mode, in step S126, the main CPU 66 causes the normal symbol variation to be shorter than in the low probability mode. The stop time (for example, 5 seconds) is set in the normal symbol variation timer, and the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the game mode is not the short time mode (that is, the high probability mode or the low probability mode), in step S125, the main CPU 66 sets the normal symbol variation stop time (for example, 30 seconds) longer than the short time mode to the normal symbol variation timer. Set to ending.

[Sub control circuit main processing]
On the other hand, the sub-control circuit 200 executes the sub-control circuit main process. The sub control circuit main process will be described with reference to FIG. The sub control circuit main process is a process that is started when the power is turned on.

  First, in step S201, the sub CPU 206 executes initial setting processing such as RAM access permission and work area initialization. That is, the sub CPU 206 performs a predetermined initial setting for normally playing the game based on the power being turned on. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 206 that executes step S201 corresponds to an example of an initial setting unit. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S202.

  In step S202, the sub CPU 206 executes random number update processing. In this process, the sub CPU 206 updates various random number values positioned in a predetermined area of the work RAM 210. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S203.

  In step S203, the sub CPU 206 executes command analysis processing. In this process, the sub CPU 206 analyzes various commands (for example, a derived symbol designation command) sent from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60, and executes a process according to the analyzed command. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S204.

  In step S204, the sub CPU 206 executes display control processing. In this process, when the sub CPU 206 receives a derived symbol designation command from the main CPU 66 of the main control circuit 60 in the command analysis process, the sub CPU 206 performs image display control such as a decorative symbol according to the derived symbol designation command. This is performed in the display area 32 a of the liquid crystal display device 32.

  Then, the sub CPU 206 executes sound control processing (step S205) for controlling sound generated from the speakers 46R and 46L and lamp control processing for controlling light emission of the various decorative lamps 133a and 133b (step S206). If this process ends, the process moves to a step S202.

  Thus, in the sub control circuit main process, after the initial setting process in step S201 is completed, the processes in steps S202 to S206 are repeatedly executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the special electric accessory 55 (special winning device) is arranged in the game area 15, and the variable game members 55 </ b> L and 55 </ b> R provided on the upper portion of the special electric accessory 55. In the closed state, the game ball rolling in the game area 15 is not allowed to enter the special electric accessory 55, but the game ball to the start port 24 also disposed in the game area 15 is not allowed. When the winning lottery of the special electric accessory 55 triggered by a prize is won, the variable gaming members 55L and 55R are opened to allow a game ball to enter the special electric accessory 55 and the special electric accessory. By controlling the movable members (the first rotating body 28a, the second rotating body 28b, the third rotating body 28c, and the tilting members 27a to 27g) provided in the interior of 55 in a predetermined operation mode, Is a special electric accessory 5 can fully enjoy the flow path of the game balls that have entered the ball, and among the special prize holes (ball holes 55c to 55h) provided in the special electric accessory 55, It is possible to provide a gaming machine full of new interests in which a game is played with the aim of winning a game ball at a special winning opening where an advantageous jackpot game is executed.

  The following gaming machines are realized by the above embodiment.
