  The present invention (12) is the pachinko gaming machine according to the invention (11), wherein the preferential variation of the second identification information is a continuous variation of the second identification information.

  Here, the meaning of each term in the claims and the specification will be described. First, “Pitch” is a concept that encompasses not only winnings that are awarded by the winning balls but also anything that can cause some profit to the player, including so-called “through-chuckers” and winning holes. . “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. The “identification information” is not particularly limited as long as it is visually recognizable, and examples thereof include numbers, characters, designs, and the like (for example, special designs). The “open state” refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or can easily flow in, and the “closed state” refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or a state in which game balls are difficult to flow in. “Random number” of “first random number” to “third random number” is a random number (game content determination random number) used for lottery (lottery by electronic computer) for determining some game content in a pachinko game machine. For example, with respect to the first random number and the second random number, so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers” associated with the transition of special games, variation modes of the identification pattern (or "Variation mode determination random number" to determine the (variation time), "symbol determination random number" to determine the stop symbol, "decision symbol determination to determine whether to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game" As for the third random number, a “winning random number” related to the opening / closing of the variable member, a “design determining random number” for determining the stop symbol of the normal symbol, and the like can be cited. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, and the like, and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. Further, for example, one random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another random number (for example, a symbol determining random number). “Based on random number” includes not only the case where the variation content of the identification information and the stop identification information are determined directly from the random number, but also the case where the identification information is indirectly determined from matters determined directly from the random number ( For example, when determining the stop symbol directly from a random number and determining the variation content from the stop symbol, determining the special symbol directly from the random number and determining the decorative symbol from the special symbol). The “identification information variation start condition” indicates that the identification information or other identification information is not changing or is not in a special game.

  According to the present invention, (1) when shifting to the special game state based on the entrance to the first starting port, when shifting to the high lottery probability state after the special game, (2) When shifting to the special gaming state based on the entrance to the first starting port, if not entering the high lottery probability state after the special game, and special based on entering the second starting port When transitioning to a game, compared to the special game when transitioning to the high lottery probability state, the profits gained during the special game are increased, and (3) it is difficult to enter the second starting port during normal times. (4) When shifting to the high lottery probability state, it is easy to enter the second starting port in a predetermined case, so that it becomes a big hit in any mode at any starting port. Even in the event of a special game, you must enjoy a special game with a high profit. It can be. As described above, according to the present invention, there is an effect that it is possible to achieve an improvement in the fun of gaming contents by organically combining the conventional first type function and the conventional first type function. . In addition, after a special game (part of a special game promised a high-probability lottery state) resulting from entering the first starting port, the variable member provided at the second starting port is opened for a long time. Since it shifts to a state, it becomes possible to enter many game balls by releasing the member once, and it becomes easy to hold the hold. Furthermore, by keeping the member open for a long time during normal times, it is possible to play a game under advantageous conditions only during the time zone of the state. Furthermore, by notifying that the member is in an open state for a long time, it is possible to make the player aim the member. In addition, in the case where the opening time of the unit game in the special game is different, the profit state can be made different depending on the difference in the number of opening seconds, so that the player is interested in which opening seconds are selected. It becomes possible. In addition, if the number of unit games in a special game is different, the profit state can be made different depending on the number of unit games, so the player should be interested in which unit game number is selected. Is possible. Furthermore, if the configuration is such that the presence / absence of an open state for a long time (for example, whether or not the time is short) and the length of the period (for example, the length of the number of short / short times) are configured differently, It becomes possible to have. Further, when priority is given in the order of pending reservation, a difference in profit state can be added to the two pieces of identification information, so that gameability is improved. Furthermore, when priorities are given in the order of pending reservation, continuous fluctuations are possible, and each fluctuation can have a stunning connection, so the range of production is widened. Furthermore, when the probability of transition to the high-probability lottery state is different between the two pieces of identification information, it is possible to make a difference in the specific game thereafter, depending on which identification information has been won, spread. Furthermore, when the lottery probability of transition to special games differs between the two pieces of identification information, the expectation of jackpot can be made different depending on which identification information is changed. Furthermore, by making the number of unit games of both special games different, it is possible to give a clear difference in profit status based on the jackpot identification information. Furthermore, by fixing the number of unit games for both special games, the profit status when a big win is determined in advance. Is clearly communicated. In addition, the value of the player with more unit games can be increased. Further, by changing the display mode of both identification information (for example, the first identification information is composed of numbers 1 to 9 and the second identification information is composed of alphabets A to J), the type of identification information can be changed. The profit state of a special game and / or a specific game can be changed.

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

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of specific game end determination according to the subroutine of steps 1450 (1) and (2) in FIG. First, in step 1452, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time / count counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time / count counter value is greater than zero. In the case of Yes in step 1452, in step 1454, the specific game control unit 1180 subtracts 1 from the time-count counter value of the time-count counter 1181a. Next, in step 1456, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the time reduction counter 1181a to determine whether or not the time reduction is zero. In the case of Yes in step 1456, in step 1460, the specific game control means 1180 turns off the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the time reduction flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, and the next process The process proceeds to (Special Game Operating Condition Determination Process 1500). In the case of No in step 1452 and step 1456, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process 1500).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the special game operation condition determination process according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a (second flag temporary storage unit 1192a) and determines whether or not the hit flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determining means 1171 causes the first special symbol display unit 2131 (second special symbol display unit 2231) of the first special symbol display device 2130 (second special symbol display device 2230). It is determined whether or not the special symbol displayed above has stopped in a predetermined manner. In the case of Yes in step 1504, in step 1506 and step 1508, the condition determination means 1171 turns on the special game transition permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and the first flag temporary storage means 1191a (the first flag). The winning flag in the two-flag temporary storage means 1192a) is turned off. Next, in steps 1552 and 1554, the specific game control unit 1180 temporarily turns off the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a. At the same time, the time reduction number counter 1181a is reset (time reduction number counter value = 0), and the process proceeds to the next process (electricity Chu drive determination process in step 1200). It should be noted that also in the case of No in step 1502 and step 1504, the process proceeds to the next process (electric chew drive determination process in step 1200).

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the electric drive driving determination process according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the electric chewing-opening flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1202, in step 1204, the normal chart control means 1153 refers to the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a and determines whether or not the normal symbol changing flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 1204, in step 1206, the general figure content determining unit 1143 accesses the general figure holding information temporary storage unit 1133a and determines whether or not there is a holding ball related to the normal symbol. In the case of Yes in step 1206, in step 1208, the routine contents determination means 1143 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the special game is currently being executed (special game execution flag is on). In the case of Yes in step 1208, in step 1210, the general contents determination unit 1143 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1190 to determine whether or not the current game state is in the easy release state (time reduction flag is on). . In the case of Yes in step 1210, in FIG. 1212, in the step 1212, the general drawing content determination means 1143 sets the drawing time reduction lottery table 1143a-2, whereas in the case of No in step 1210, in the step 1214, The general map content determining means 1143 sets the general map lottery table 1143a-1. It should be noted that the drawing time reduction lottery table 1143a-2 is set to have a higher win probability (probability of selecting the third predetermined mode) than the normal drawing lottery table 1143a-1 (for example, The former winning probability is 9/10 and the latter winning probability is 1/10). In step 1216, the general symbol content determination means 1143 determines a stop symbol based on the normal symbol random number based on the reserved ball. Next, in step 1218, the usual figure fluctuation time management means 1153a sets the usual figure fluctuation management timer 1153a-1 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds in the case of a short-time game, in the case of a normal game) based on the set table. Is set to 30 seconds). Then, in step 1220, the general symbol control means 1153 turns on the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1222, the general-purpose holding means 1133 updates the holding information recorded in the general-purpose holding information temporary storage means 1133 a after subtracting 1 from the reserved ball related to the normal symbol, and the general-purpose control means. 1153 starts normal symbol variation display on the general diagram display unit 2421 after starting the common diagram variation management timer 1153a-1. Next, in step 1224, the normal time fluctuation time management unit 1153a refers to the normal time fluctuation management timer 1153a-1 and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1224, in step 1226, the universal map control unit 1153 finalizes and displays the stop symbol determined by the universal map content determination unit 1143 in the step 1216 on the universal map display unit 2421. In step 1228, the normal symbol control means 1153 turns off the normal symbol changing flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. Next, in step 1230, the condition determination means 1161 determines whether or not the stop symbol is “winning” (third predetermined mode). In the case of Yes in Step 1230, in Step 1232, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 sets the opening timer 1162 to a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds for a short-time game, 0 for a normal game) based on the set table. .5 seconds) set. Next, in step 1234, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 turns on the electric chew-opening flag in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a. In step 1236, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 opens the electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure starting port 2110. Next, in step 1238, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 refers to the opening timer 1162, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 1238, in steps 1240 and 1242, the electric chew opening / closing control means 1160 closes the electric accessory 2112 of the second special figure starting port 2110, and also stores the electric game-related information temporary storage means 1193a. The Chu-opening flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

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

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

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart of special game execution processing according to the subroutine of step 2100 in FIG. First, in step 2102, the special game execution means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the special game content determination flag is on. If YES in step 2102, in step 2104, the information transmission unit 1300 transmits a special game start signal to the effect display control unit 2320 side. Next, in step 2106 and step 2108, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game content determination flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and turns on the special game execution flag, and proceeds to step 2112. . On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2102, in step 2110, the special game execution means 1173 determines whether or not the special game execution flag is on. If YES in step 2110, the process proceeds to step 2112. In the case of No in step 2110, the special game execution means 1173 determines that the special game permission has not been granted, and proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, in step 2112, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and determines whether or not the round continuation flag is on, in other words, whether or not the round is in the middle. Determine. In the case of Yes in Step 2112, that is, when the round is in the middle, the process proceeds to Step 2123 without performing the processes of Steps 2114 to 2122 described in detail below. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2112, that is, immediately before the start of the round, first, in step 2114, the special game execution means 1173 clears the special game timer 1174 a to zero and sets a predetermined value (for example, per round 2). 0.5 seconds in the case, 30 seconds in the case of 15 rounds). Next, in step 2116, the special game executing means 1173 clears the winning ball counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 to zero. In step 2118, the special game executing means 1173 adds 1 to the round number counter in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Note that the number of rounds stored in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 is 0 immediately after the start of the special game (initial value), and is incremented by 1 each time a round is repeated thereafter. Next, in step 2120, the special game executing means 1173 turns on the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. In step 2122, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194 and confirms which of the first big prize opening 2120 and the second big prize opening 2220 is to be opened. The first electric winning combination 2122 or the second electric winning combination 2222 of the first big winning opening 2120 or the second big winning opening 2220 is driven to open the first big winning opening 2120 or the second big winning opening 2220, and step 2123.

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

  Next, in step 2128, the special game executing means 1173 stops the driving of the first electric combination 2122 or the second electric combination 2222 in the first big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220, and the first The big prize opening 2120 or the second big prize opening 2220 is closed. In step 2130, the special game executing means 1173 resets the special game timer 1174a. Next, in step 2132, the special game execution unit 1173 turns off the round continuation flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 2134, the special game executing means 1173 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 1194, and determines whether or not the round is the last round (2 rounds or 15 rounds). In the case of Yes in step 2134, in step 2136, the special game execution means 1173 turns off the special game execution flag in the special game related information temporary storage means 1194. Next, in step 2138, the information transmission means 1300 transmits a special game end signal to the effect display control means 2320 side. In step 1650, the game control unit 1100 executes a game state determination process after the end of the special game, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000). In the case of No in step 2134, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process 5000).

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the game state determination process after the end of the special game according to the subroutine of step 1650 in FIG. First, in step 1656, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1191 to determine whether or not the current special game was caused by the fact that the first special symbol was a winning symbol. To do. In the case of Yes in step 1656, in step 1658, the specific game control unit 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage unit 1191 again, and whether or not the current winning symbol is the first specific mode among the second predetermined modes. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 1658, in steps 1660 to 1662, the specific game control unit 1180 turns on the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage unit 1191a and the second flag temporary storage unit 1192a, respectively. The process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000). The reason for setting the specific game flag (probability variation flag / time reduction flag) on the first game side and the second game side is to ensure that the first game and the second game are in the same game state. It is. That is, in the case where the first game and the second game are in the normal game state, when the first game side is near the probability variation, the second game side also enters the probability variation game state after the special game ends. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1658, in step 1666, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1191 and the current winning symbol is other than the first specific aspect among the second predetermined aspects ( For example, it is determined whether or not it is the second specific mode. In the case of Yes in step 1666, in step 1668, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the probability variation flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the second flag temporary storage means 1192a, and performs the next process (award of step 5000). Sphere payout processing). On the other hand, if No in step 1666, that is, if the current winning symbol is the first predetermined mode, the process proceeds to the next process (prize ball payout process in step 5000).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1656, that is, if the second special symbol is a hit this time, in step 1670, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game state temporary storage means 1191, and this time It is determined whether or not the winning symbol is the fourth predetermined mode. In the case of Yes in step 1670, the specific game control means 1180 turns on the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag in the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and the second flag temporary storage means 1192a in steps 1672 and 1647, respectively. Then, the process proceeds to the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000). On the other hand, if No in step 1670, that is, if the current winning symbol is the third predetermined mode, the specific game control means 1180 in step 1676 and step 1678, the first flag temporary storage means 1191a and The time shortening flag in the second flag temporary storage means 1192a is turned on, and “100 times” is set as the time reduction counter value in the auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1193a, and the next processing (the prize ball of step 5000) (Dispensing process).

Make a jackpot start display. In step 6910, the display control means 2323 sequentially displays the number of rounds and the number of winnings on the effect display device 2310 based on the game information sequentially transmitted from the main control device 1000 side in step 2123. In step 6912, the display control means 2323 refers to the main side information temporary storage means and determines whether or not a special game end signal has been received from the main control apparatus 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 6912, in step 6914, the display control means 2323 performs a jackpot end display on the effect display device 2310. In step 6916, the display control means 2323 turns off the “special gaming flag” in the flag area of the effect display related information temporary storage means, and proceeds to the next process {decorated symbol display content determination process 6200}. If NO in step 6902, the process proceeds to step 6910. If NO in steps 6904 and 6912, the process proceeds to the next process {decorated symbol display content determination process 6200}.

  As described above, according to the best mode, it can be said that the entrance is opened at the normal time, and then the villa mode is entered when a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is characterized by having multiple roles even in specific games.

  The configuration and processing in the pachinko gaming machine according to the best mode have been described above in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the best mode, and various modifications are assumed.

  For example, in this best mode, the first special figure starting port is arranged under the liquid crystal display device, and the second special figure starting port (electrical chew) is arranged on the right side of the game board. In other words, it becomes a right-handed machine when the time is short. However, the position is not limited to this position, and any configuration that does not go to the second special figure starting port side when aiming at the first special figure starting port may be used. Therefore, the role of the electric chew may be something like a special starting port on the stage. However, it may be configured to go to the second special figure starting port side when aiming at the first special figure starting port. For example, a position where the first special figure starting port and the second special figure starting port overlap vertically ( The top is the first special figure starting port, and the upper part of the second special figure starting port may be closed due to the presence of the first special figure starting port at normal times (cup electric Chu). In this configuration, when the profit status is higher in the jackpot at the second special chart start opening (electric Chu) than the first special figure start opening (copper), the advantage of giving priority to the fluctuation of the special chart on the electric Chu side In other words, a configuration in which priority is given to the one with the better round number, count number, and probability variation ratio, works more effectively.

  In addition to big hits (hits where the game state can change before and after special games), there may be small wins (hits where the game state cannot change before and after special games). In this case, it is also possible to change the probability for the small hit. For example, the first identification information may have little jackpot, the second identification information may have many small hits, and a lot of small hit development big hits can be expected when the second identification information is used. In this way, by providing a difference for the small hits according to the identification information, it is possible to widen the range of game play. In the case of providing a small hit, for example, a specific area may be arranged in the variable winning opening, and a special game may be continued when a game ball enters the specific area at the small hit.

  Further, in the best mode, the digestion of the second identification information is prioritized. However, (1) a state in which priority order is changed and a state in which it is changed may be provided, and (2) the second identification information is provided. When priority is given, the hold related to the first identification information before the hold related to the second identification information is erased, (3) the number of times to prioritize the second identification information is set, (4) the second identification information The first identification information and the second identification information may be alternately prioritized. Here, in the case of adopting the configuration of (1), it is possible to change the profit state by drawing whether or not to change the priority order, and the configuration of (2) In this case, since the hold related to the first identification information is deleted, the game can be played without a sense of incongruity, and the fluctuation with the lower profit can be avoided as much as possible. In the case of adoption, continuous variation is possible in the production depending on the set priority number. In the case of adopting the configuration of (4), the priority order is assigned to each of the first identification information and the second identification information. By attaching it, it is possible to provide a zone advantageous to the player and a disadvantageous zone.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the decorative symbol display device does not display the state regardless of the type of winning. As a result, since the state is not known in the form of decorative symbols, the player is not aware of which mode he is in and can always advance the game with a sense of expectation.

  Note that the contents of the first special drawing lottery table on the first game side and the second special drawing lottery table on the second game side in this best mode may be the same or different from each other for the same gaming state. For example, the winning probability using the first special drawing lottery table on the first game side (for example, during normal gaming), and the winning probability using the second special drawing lottery table on the second game side (for example, during normal gaming) The aspect set higher than this can be mentioned. Furthermore, in the best mode, the specific game flag is set on both the first game side and the second game side. However, the specific game flag is set only on the first game side or the second game side. Also good. For example, if the first special symbol is won with a symbol per probability variation in the normal gaming state, after the special game, only the first special diagram lottery table on the first game side is used for probability variation, and the second game side second The drawing lottery table can be used for a normal game as it is.
