Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine, and more particularly to a technique for controlling a game and an effect in a ball game machine.

Conventionally, among the various ball game machines, a so-called first type pachinko game machine is used while changing a plurality of symbols in a display area such as a liquid crystal display provided substantially at the center of the game board. Display (hereinafter, such display is referred to as “symbol change” or “change display”). This gaming machine shifts to a special game called so-called jackpot where more prize balls can be obtained than a normal game when a combination of symbols when a plurality of rows of symbol variations are stopped becomes a specific mode. Known as a thing. The variable display of symbols in the display area is not only a variable display of multiple symbols, but the time of variable display is usually reduced in a state where it is a big hit if one more symbols are aligned, as in the so-called reach screen. For example, an effect is made to increase the player's expectation, such as making it longer. In addition, the player's sense of expectation has been enhanced by the use of characters in images such as symbols to give a story to the variable display and the notice effect that suggests a high degree of expectation for transition to special games. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP 2006-246964 A

  Conventional notice effects have been novel in terms of effects by adopting various characters, motifs, etc., but it can also be said that they have become normal to some extent as a method of effects or a mode of profit acquisition. For this reason, if there is no choice but to bring out novelty in the display contents, the new characters and motifs themselves will greatly influence the popularity of the model, and the psychological burden on the selection of the production contents will be large for the developer. Therefore, if a method or mode other than the display contents can be used to produce novelty, the developer has a great merit. Also, for the player, such a new production method has an advantage that it can be experienced as a novel game.

  The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and an object of the present invention is to realize production or playability by a novel method in a ball game machine.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a ball game machine according to an aspect of the present invention is provided with a game board on which a game area is formed, and a predetermined position in the game area. Start / win lottery, a lottery means for executing a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to a state more advantageous to the player than a normal game triggered by entering the start prize port, and the result of the pass / fail lottery The symbol display device in which the symbols for displaying the game are variably displayed, the big prize opening provided at a predetermined position in the game area and opened when the result of the winning / failing lottery is a win, and the result of the winning / losing lottery are As a result, it shows a transition to a special game in which a unit game in which a big prize opening is opened as a more advantageous state for a player than a game is repeated multiple times, and the symbol is stopped in a predetermined jackpot mode, and the special game is executed. Special game control means and lottery The result shows the transition to the small hit game, which is a single unit game in which the big prize opening is opened with an opening time shorter than the predetermined opening time allowed in the special game, and the symbol is a predetermined small hit mode The small hit game control means for executing the small hit game when stopped at the stop, the hold control means for holding the result of the lottery lottery with the predetermined upper limit number as the number limit, and the result of the lottery lottery in the pass / fail judgment When it is determined that it corresponds to the result indicating the transition to the special game, it is determined that it corresponds to the result of the lottery held by the holding control means in order to indicate that using the operation of the small hit game. Game adjustment means for executing a predetermined result adjustment process so that at least one result other than the result is replaced with a result indicating a shift to a small hit game.

  Here, the “predetermined opening time allowed for special games” is an opening time of a length that can be opened for a special winning game, but not for a small hit game. The opening time may be longer than the opening time in the game. In particular, the opening time in the small hit game may be extremely short so that it can be easily distinguished from the opening by the “predetermined opening time allowed in the special game”. As a result, if there is an open in the small hit game, the player may be made to recognize that the small hit game has occurred by its appearance. However, it is not always necessary that the opening time for the opening in the special game is the “predetermined opening time”. In addition, the opening with the same opening time as the small hit game may be performed in the special game. The “unit game” is a game that constitutes a special game or a small hit game, and the special game may be constituted by a plurality of unit games, and the small hit game may be constituted by one unit game. The “win / fail lottery means” may be configured to correspond to “first lottery means” or “second lottery means” in the specification. “When it is determined that the result of the lottery determination corresponds to the result indicating the shift to the special game in the determination of the success / failure” may be a determination in the “preliminary determination process” in the specification.

  According to this aspect, there is a possibility that a small hit game is forcibly generated by executing the result adjustment process, and the player may be able to recognize by appearance that the small hit game has occurred. As a result, by generating a small hit game, it is possible to give the player an expectation that the occurrence of a special game is near and an expectation of profit expansion, and realize a novel effect and playability using the operation of the small hit game be able to.

  As a result adjustment process, the game adjustment means uses a table in which a correspondence relationship between the lottery values of the success / failure lottery and the result is determined, and at least one result other than the result of the determination of the success / failure that is the trigger of the result adjustment process is small. You may perform the process which replaces with the table which will correspond to the result which shows the transfer to a hit game. In this case, even if the result of the lottery determination itself is not rewritten or replaced, the table can be replaced with a result that substantially indicates the transition to the small hit game. Also in this case, it is possible to give the player an expectation that the occurrence of the special game is near by generating the small hit game, and it is possible to realize a novel effect using the operation of the small hit game.

  The game adjustment means executes the result adjustment process so that the result held in the hold control means before the result of the determination of success / failure as an opportunity of the result adjustment process becomes a result indicating the transition to the small hit game. By doing so, it is also possible to execute an operation that serves as a precursor to let the player expect a transition to a special game using the operation of the small hit game. In this case, the small hit game is generated before the special game is generated, and the result adjustment process can be executed as a sign that the player is expected to generate the special game later.

  The game adjustment means may execute the result adjustment processing so that when there are a plurality of results held in the hold control means, they continuously show the transition to the small hit game. In this case, by continuously generating small hit games, it is distinguished from the appearance of normal accidental small hit games, giving the player the expectation that special games will be near and the expectation of profit expansion. It is possible to realize a novel production or game play using the operation of the small hit game.

  Based on a table that defines the correspondence with lottery values, select from one of multiple variation patterns in which the process from variation start to end and variation time in the variation display of the symbol indicating the result of winning / failing lottery are defined. Pattern determining means may be further provided. When the game adjustment means executes the result adjustment process, the change time is substantially the shortest as a change pattern with respect to the result that is replaced with the result indicating the transition to the small hit game among the results of the success / failure lottery held by the hold control means. The table referred to by the pattern determining means may be changed so that the pattern is assigned. Here, the “pattern with the shortest variation time” may be an extremely short variation time than other variation patterns. It may be possible to grasp that the fluctuation time is short. In this case, the symbol variation with a short variation time is executed, so that the player can clearly understand the occurrence of the small hit game, and the player expects that the occurrence of the special game is near and the expectation of the profit expansion. Can be given to.

  The special game control means holds a plurality of opening patterns of the special prize opening as control patterns for the special game, and executes the special game based on any of the open aspect patterns. When a result indicating the transition to a game is determined, it is determined based on which of the plurality of release mode patterns a special game should be executed, and the small hit game control means A plurality of open mode patterns may be held, and any one of the open mode patterns may be selected for the small hit game depending on which open mode pattern is used to execute the special game. Here, the “opening mode pattern” may include a mode of the opening time and the number of times of opening. In this case, if the player sees the opening mode pattern of the small hit game, the opening mode pattern of the special game can be known. Since the number of times of opening of the special winning opening in the special game indicates the number of unit games as it is, if the release pattern of the special game is known, it is possible to know the magnitude of the player's profit obtained by the special game. Therefore, the player can be made aware of the degree of profit that can be generated thereafter by the small hit game opening pattern.

  The game adjustment means, as a result adjustment process, results adjustment in which at least one of the adjacent results before and after the result determined to correspond to the result indicating the transition to the special game is replaced with the result indicating the transition to the small hit game The process may be executed, and the small hit game control means may execute the small hit game generated by the result adjustment process in a manner having continuity with the special game. Here, the number of small hit games having continuity with a special game is not limited to one, but may be a plurality of times. In this case, since the small hit game and the special game are continuous, it is possible to show the appearance as if the unit game constituting the small hit game is a unit game constituting a part of the special game. Therefore, it is possible to realize a novel mode in which the number of unit games constituting the special game is substantially increased by using the small hit game operation and the profit is expanded.

  The game adjustment means executes result adjustment processing on the result of the success / failure lottery held in the hold control means after the result indicating the transition to the special game, and the number of results of the success / failure lottery held by the hold control means becomes zero. The result adjustment process may be continued so that the result of the winning / losing lottery continuously indicates the transition to the small hit game. In this case, as long as the number of results of the success / failure lottery held in the hold control means is maintained at 1 or more, the occurrence of the small hit game is continued, and the profit state obtained by the small hit is maintained. In addition, it is possible to realize an aspect in which the profit is expanded by a considerable number of unit games constituting the special game by making it appear as if the small hit game is a part of the special game.

  The game adjustment means executes a result adjustment process on the result of the success / failure lottery held in the hold control means after the result indicating the transition to the special game, and the success / failure lottery is performed until the number of times of the symbol variation display becomes a predetermined number. The result adjustment process may be continued so that the result continuously indicates a shift to a small hit game. In this case, while the predetermined number of symbol variations are displayed, the small hit games are continuously generated, and the profit state obtained by the small hits is maintained. In addition, it is possible to realize an aspect in which the profit is expanded continuously by a predetermined number of unit games constituting the special game by making the small hit game appear to be a part of the special game.

  The game adjustment means determines whether or not to execute the result adjustment process by a predetermined adjustment determination lottery every time the winning / failing lottery is executed, and the result of the executed winning / losing lottery indicates a transition to the special game. When it is determined that it corresponds, the lottery probability of the adjustment determination lottery may be set so that the adjustment determination lottery has a result that the result adjustment process should be executed with higher probability than when it is determined that it does not correspond. In this case, even if the winning / losing lottery result corresponds to a big win, there may be cases where a small hitting game does not occur. Can also occur.

  You may further provide the holding | maintenance display means to display the number of the results of the success / failure lottery held by the holding control means on the symbol display device. The hold display means displays a plurality of types of indications indicating a high expectation level for shifting to a special game, with the result being replaced with the result indicating the shift to the small hit game by the result adjustment process among the results of the winning / failing lottery held In addition to displaying in one of the modes, when it is determined that the result of the winning / failing lottery executed corresponds to the result indicating the transition to the special game, the degree of expectation is higher with a higher probability than when it is determined not to correspond You may display in the display mode which suggests. Here, the hold display means may display the number of results of the success / failure lottery on the symbol display device in the form of a hold lamp image. The “plural types of display modes” may be a plurality of types of modes expressed in the size, color, shape, etc. of the reserved lamp image, for example. In this case, by displaying the result held by the hold display means in a display mode corresponding to the degree of expectation that the jackpot will occur, the player can grasp the degree of expectation that the jackpot will occur.

  It should be noted that any combination of the above-described constituent elements, or the constituent elements and expressions of the present invention may be mutually replaced between methods, apparatuses, systems, computer programs, recording media storing computer programs, data structures, etc. This is effective as an embodiment of the present invention.

  According to the ball ball game machine of the present invention, it is possible to achieve game effects or playability by a novel method.

The start winning detection device 75 is a sensor that detects the entrance of a game ball into the second start winning opening 63, and generates second start winning information indicating the winning at the time of entering. When the ordinary electric combination 65 is expanded by the driving force of the ordinary electric combination solenoid 76, the ease of entering the ball into the second start winning opening 63 is increased. In addition, since the second start winning opening 63 is provided in a narrow passage on the right side of the game area 52 as shown in the drawing, most of the game balls hitting strongly toward the right side are at least in the vicinity of the second starting winning opening 63. There is a high possibility that the second start winning opening 63 will be able to enter. On the other hand, the first start winning opening 62 is not provided with an ordinary electric accessory, and is provided at a position away from a narrow passage. Therefore, the second start winning opening 63 has an arrangement or configuration relationship such that the possibility of entering a ball is relatively higher than the first starting winning opening 62.

  The general winning opening 72 includes a plurality of general winning detecting devices 73 for detecting the entering of game balls. The general winning detection device 73 is a sensor that detects the entry of a game ball into the general winning opening 72, and generates general winning information indicating the winning at the time of winning.

  The first big winning opening 91 is provided as a big winning opening corresponding to the first game, and the second big winning opening 92 is provided as a big winning opening corresponding to the second game. The first grand prize winning port 91 includes a winning prize detecting device 78 for detecting the entrance of a game ball, and a big prize winning port solenoid 80 for opening and closing the first big prize winning port 91. The winning detection device 78 is a sensor that detects the entry of a game ball into the first grand prize winning opening 91, and generates first big winning prize winning information indicating the winning at the time of winning. The second grand prize opening 92 includes a prize detection device 79 for detecting the entry of a game ball and a big prize opening solenoid 81 for opening and closing the second big prize opening 92. The winning detection device 79 is a sensor that detects the entry of a game ball into the second grand prize opening 92, and generates second big prize opening winning information indicating the winning at the time of winning. The first big winning opening 91 is a horizontal rectangular winning opening that is opened as a “big hit” when the first special symbol 192 stops in a predetermined manner. The first grand prize winning port 91 is provided at a position above the out port 58. The second big winning opening 92 is a horizontal rectangular winning opening that becomes an open state as a “big hit” when the second special symbol 193 stops in a predetermined manner. The second big winning opening 92 is provided at a position on the upper right of the out opening 58.

  An effect symbol display device 60 is provided substantially at the center of the game area 52, and a first special symbol display device 70 corresponding to the first game and a second special symbol display device 71 corresponding to the second game are provided at the lower left of the game area 52. Are provided adjacent to each other on the left and right. The first special symbol display device 70 displays the variation of the first special symbol 192 corresponding to the first game, and the second special symbol display device 71 displays the variation of the second special symbol 193 corresponding to the second game. Is displayed. The first special symbol 192 is a symbol corresponding to the result of the first lottery performed when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 62, and its variation display is stopped in a predetermined hit state. A big hit as a special game occurs. The second special symbol 193 is a symbol corresponding to the result of the second lottery performed when the game ball enters the second start winning opening 63, and its variable display is stopped in a predetermined hit mode. A big hit as a special game occurs.

The effect symbol display device 60 is configured by a liquid crystal display in this embodiment, but may be configured by other display means such as a mechanical drum or LED. Since the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 do not necessarily have a role of production, in the present embodiment, the first special symbol display device 70 and the second special symbol display device 70 at the lower left of the production symbol display device 60 are used. When the special symbol display device 71 displays an inconspicuous size, but adopts a technique in which the special symbol itself has an effect role and does not display the decorative symbol, the special symbol is displayed on the effect symbol display device 60. You may display on a liquid crystal display like this.

  The operation port 68 is provided at the right side position of the game board 50. The operation port 68 includes a passage detection device 69. The passage detection device 69 is a sensor that detects the passage of the game ball to the operation port 68, and generates passage information indicating the passage at the time of passage. The passing of the game ball to the operation port 68 triggers a lottery for expanding the ordinary electric accessory 65 of the second start winning prize port 63.

  When the player rotates the launch handle 17 by hand, the game balls stored in the upper ball tray 15 are guided one by one to the inner rail 56 and the outer rail 54 with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle, thereby playing the game area. To 52. When the player fixes the rotation position of the firing handle 17 by hand, the game ball is repeatedly fired at regular time intervals. The game ball launched to the upper part of the game area 52 falls in a direction according to the way of hitting while hitting a plurality of game nails and windmills. When a game ball falls into each of the general winning opening 72, the first starting winning opening 62, the second starting winning opening 63, the first large winning opening 91, and the second large winning opening 92, the type of the winning opening is determined. The corresponding prize ball is paid out to the upper ball tray 15 or the lower ball tray 16. A game ball dropped into each winning hole such as the general winning hole 72 is processed as a safe ball, and a game ball dropped into the out hole 58 is processed as an out ball. Each winning opening includes a gate type through which a game ball passes. In this application, “incoming”, “entering”, and “winning” include “passing”.

  When the game ball enters the first start winning opening 62, the first special symbol 192 is variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 70, and the decorative symbol 190 is variably displayed on the display area 194 of the effect symbol display device 60. . When the game ball enters the second start winning opening 63, the second special symbol 193 is variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 71, and the decorative symbol 190 is variably displayed on the display area 194 of the effect symbol display device 60. . The variation display of the first special symbol 192, the second special symbol 193, and the decorative symbol 190 is stopped after the lapse of the variation time determined prior to the display. When the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 at the time of stoppage are in a big hit mode, the game shifts to a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and the opening / closing operation of the first grand prize winning opening 91 is started. Is done. At this time, the decorative pattern 190 simulating the game of the slot machine takes a display mode in which the three patterns are matched. If the second special symbol 193 and the decorative symbol 190 at the time of the stop are in a big hit mode, the game shifts to a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and the opening and closing operation of the second big prize opening 92 is started. Is done.

  The special game is a game in which the unit game in which the first grand prize port 91 or the second grand prize port 92 is opened is repeated a plurality of times, and the special game in which the unit game is repeated 15 times, which is the maximum number of times, and the unit game. There is a special game that is repeated only twice, which is the minimum number of times. In the case of a special game in which 15 unit games are repeated (hereinafter also referred to as “15R jackpot” as appropriate), the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second big winning prize opening 92 is opened for about 30 seconds, or more than nine balls When one of the game balls is dropped, it is closed once, and one unit game is completed. In the case of a special game in which two unit games are repeated (hereinafter also referred to as “2R jackpot” as appropriate), the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92 is temporarily closed when opened for about 0.4 seconds. As a result, one unit game is completed.

  When the first special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 at the time of the stop are in a predetermined small hit mode, the game shifts to the small hit game constituted by one unit game, and the opening / closing operation of the first big winning opening 91 is executed. Is done. When the second special symbol 193 and the decorative symbol 190 at the time of the stop are in the small hit mode, the game also shifts to the small hit game, and the opening / closing operation of the second big prize opening 92 is executed. In a single unit game that constitutes a small hit game, the first grand prize opening 91 or the second big prize opening 92 executes the opening for about 0.4 seconds 1 to 3 times. It becomes a similar operation mode. Regarding the opening of the first big winning opening 91 and the second big winning opening 92, the opening for about 30 seconds allowed in the special game is not executed in the small hit game, and this is one of the differences between the big win and the small win. Become one.

  When a special game occurs and a predetermined condition such as a lottery is satisfied, after the special game ends, the probability game (hereinafter referred to as “probability change”) or the variation time shortening (hereinafter “time reduction”) as a specific game Is started). During the probability change, a lottery with a higher jackpot probability than the normal probability state is performed, and a new special game is generated relatively early. The probability variation state is continued until the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 is a big hit. In the case of 15R jackpot, the probability change may or may not be started after the end of the special game. In the case of 2R jackpot, the probability change is always started after the end of the special game. The time reduction is continued until the total of the variable display of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 reaches a predetermined number of end conditions, for example, 100 times. During the time reduction, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 is substantially shortened.

  When the game ball passes through the operation port 68, a symbol called a normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 for a predetermined time. The normal symbol display device 59 is provided on the right side of the first grand prize winning opening 91. In this embodiment, the two lamps alternately turn on and off alternately, and the normal symbol display is expressed. The lottery result of a normal symbol is represented by whether it stops with the light on. When the normal symbol variation display stops in a predetermined hit state after the lapse of a predetermined time, the normal electric accessory 65 of the second start winning opening 63 is expanded for a predetermined time.

  A center ornament 64 is provided around the effect symbol display device 60. The center decoration 64 has functions such as a flow path of the game ball, protection of the effect symbol display device 60, and decoration. Game effect lamps 90 are provided above and below the center ornament 64, and play a role of production by blinking or the like. The first special figure holding lamp 20 corresponding to the first game is provided above the first special symbol display device 70, and the second special figure holding lamp 21 corresponding to the second game is the second special symbol display device 71. The ordinary symbol holding lamp 22 corresponding to the normal symbol variation is provided below the normal symbol display device 59. Each of the first special figure hold lamp 20 and the second special figure hold lamp 21 is composed of two lamps, and the lottery value hold for each of the first game and the second game is held depending on the number of lights or the number of blinks. Display a number. The number of lottery values held in the first special figure holding lamp 20 is the number of lottery results won in the first start winning opening 62 during the fluctuation of the first special symbol 192 or during the execution of the special game. Indicates the number of winning balls that have not been executed yet. The number of lottery values held in the second special figure holding lamp 21 is the number of lottery results won in the second start winning opening 63 during the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 or during the execution of the special game. Indicates the number of winning balls that have not been executed yet. The number of holds displayed by the first special figure hold lamp 20 and the second special figure hold lamp 21 is also displayed in the form of a hold lamp image on the effect symbol display device 60.

  The regular figure holding lamp 22 is also composed of two lamps, and displays the number of holdings of normal symbol fluctuations depending on the number of lighting or blinking. The number of normal symbol fluctuations held is the number of game balls that have passed through the operation port 68 during the fluctuation of the normal symbol, and indicates the number of normal symbol lotteries for which the fluctuation of the normal symbol has not yet been executed. The operation button 82 is a button operated by the player to input a predetermined instruction on the gaming machine side. The operation button 82 is provided on the outer wall surface near the upper ball tray 15.

  FIG. 2 shows a basic structure on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine. The power switch 40 is a switch for turning on / off the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main board 102 controls the overall operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and processes all game operations such as lottery when winning the first start winning opening 62 and the second starting winning opening 63 in particular. The sub board 104 includes a liquid crystal unit 42, controls display contents on the effect symbol display device 60, and changes display contents according to a lottery result by the main board 102 in particular. The main board 102 and the sub board 104 constitute a game control device 100. The set substrate 39 includes a prize ball tank 44, a flow path for prize balls, a payout unit 43 for delivering prize balls. The payout unit 43 pays out the game balls supplied from the winning ball tank 44 to the upper ball tray 15 in accordance with winning in each winning opening. The payout control board 45 controls the payout operation by the payout unit 43. The launching device 46 launches the stored balls in the upper ball tray 15 to the game area 52 one by one. The launch control board 47 controls the launch operation of the launch device 46. The power supply unit 48 supplies power to each part of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  FIG. 3 shows functional blocks of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in this embodiment. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the game control device 100 includes a first start winning port 62, a second starting winning port 63, a first big winning port 91, a second big winning port 92, a general winning port 72, an operating port 68, a first. 1 special symbol display device 70, second special symbol display device 71, effect symbol display device 60, normal symbol display device 59, operation button 82, speaker 18, and game effect lamp 90 are electrically connected to Allows transmission and reception of control signals. The game control apparatus 100 controls not only the basic operation of the game, but also staging operations such as symbol variation display and electrical decoration. The game control device 100 includes a main substrate 102 as a main control device that controls the overall operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 including basic operations of the game and the progress of the game, and a sub substrate as a sub-control device that controls design effects and the like. 104 is configured in such a manner that functions are shared. The game control device 100 is configured by hardware including elements such as a ROM and a RAM for storing data and programs, and a CPU used for arithmetic processing.

  In the present embodiment, the main board 102 includes a ball entering determination means 110, a first lottery means 126, a second lottery means 128, a general drawing lottery means 136, a holding control means 116, a main display control means 118, a special game control means 120, Specific game execution means 122, opening / closing control means 124, and condition holding means 176 are provided. The sub-board 104 in this embodiment includes a pattern storage unit 130, an effect determination unit 132, and an effect display control unit 134. Each functional block included in the main board 102 may be configured such that any one of the functional blocks is mounted on the sub board 104 instead of the main board 102. Similarly, each functional block included in the sub-board 104 may be configured such that any one of them is mounted on the main board 102 instead of the sub-board 104.

  However, since data transmission / reception between the main board 102 and the sub board 104 is unidirectional from the main board 102 to the sub board 104, each operation is performed so that the entire operation is realized by such data transmission / reception in one direction. The configuration is arranged on the main board 102 and the sub board 104. In this way, since the unidirectionality of data transmission from the main board 102 to the sub board 104 is maintained, data cannot be transmitted from the configuration included in the sub board 104 to the configuration included in the main board 102. It is not possible to request data transmission. Therefore, the information generated on the main board 102 cannot be referred to from the sub board 104 unless the main board 102 unilaterally transmits the information to the sub board 104.

  The entrance determination means 110 determines whether or not a game ball has entered each winning opening. When receiving the first start winning information, the winning determination means 110 determines that the game ball has won the first start winning opening 62, and when receiving the second start winning information, the game ball won the second start winning opening 63. Judge that When receiving the first grand prize opening winning information, the winning determination means 110 determines that the gaming ball has won the first big winning opening 91, and receiving the second big winning opening winning information, the gaming ball receives the second big winning prize. When it is determined that a winning is made in the mouth 92 and the general winning information is received, it is determined that the game ball has won the general winning opening 72. When receiving the passage information, the ball entering determination unit 110 determines that the game ball has passed through the operation port 68.

  The first lottery means 126 for executing the first lottery corresponding to the ball entering the first start winning opening 62 includes the first lottery value acquiring means 112, the first winning / failing determining means 113, and the first pattern determining means 114. . The second lottery means 128 for executing the second lottery corresponding to the ball entering the second start winning opening 63 includes the second lottery value acquiring means 115, the second winning / failing determining means 117, and the second pattern determining means 119. . The result of the first lottery is shown in the form of variable display of the first special symbol 192 on the first special symbol display device 70, and in the form of variable display of the decorative symbol 190 in the display area 194 of the effect symbol display device 60. It is. The result of the second lottery is shown in the form of variable display of the second special symbol 193 on the second special symbol display device 71, and in the form of variable display of the decorative symbol 190 in the display area 194 of the effect symbol display device 60. It is.

  When the first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 start the symbol variation, the lottery result corresponding to the symbol variation is transmitted to the effect determining unit 132 together with the symbol variation control command. Further, the first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 are set to any lottery value range in the determination of whether or not the lottery value is a pre-determination process at the time of entering the first start winning opening 62 or the second starting winning opening 63. Pre-winning determination of whether it corresponds is performed, and the determination result is transmitted to the effect determination means 132 as a lottery result. The result of the pre-judgment process is temporarily stored in the transmission buffer, and then transmitted to the effect determination means 132 regardless of whether the symbol variation display corresponding to the lottery is immediately started or deleted from the transmission buffer or overwritten later. The Therefore, for the sub-board 104 side, a so-called “prefetch” process is realized in which the result of the success / failure can be presumably recognized in advance before the order of the start of symbol variation comes around.

  The first lottery value acquisition unit 112 acquires a random number value as the first winning / no-win lottery value for the first lottery when the first start winning opening 62 is entered. The second lottery value acquisition unit 115 acquires a random number value as the second winning / no-win lottery value for the second lottery when the player enters the second start winning opening 63. For example, the values acquired as the first winner / lottery value and the second winner / lottery value for the winner lottery are acquired from a value range from “0” to “65535”. The “random number” in the present application may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo-random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. The value acquired by the first lottery value acquisition unit 112 as the first winning / losing lottery value or the second winning / losing lottery value is temporarily held by the holding control unit 116. However, the first success / failure lottery value and the second success / failure lottery value are suspended within a range not exceeding the predetermined retention upper limit number retained by the suspension control means 116.

  The first winning / failing determination means 113 determines whether or not to shift to a special game or a small hit game based on the first winning / losing lottery value, and in which lottery value range the first winning / failing lottery value is in the determination of winning or not Perform a prior adequacy determination to determine whether it is applicable. The second winning / failing determining means 117 determines whether or not to shift to a special game or a small hit game based on the second winning / losing lottery value, and the second winning / losing lottery value falls within any lottery value range in the winning / failing determination. Perform a prior adequacy determination to determine whether it is applicable. The first success / failure determination unit 113 and the second success / failure determination unit 117 may determine the number of unit games as a special game mode when the result of the success / failure lottery indicates a shift to a special game. The opening mode pattern of the first grand prize opening 91 or the second big prize opening 92 is further determined. The opening mode pattern of the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand winning port 92 is a combination of the opening time and the number of times of opening, and in this embodiment, the opening mode pattern in which the opening for about 30 seconds is repeated 15 times and the opening mode pattern is about 0. There is an opening mode pattern in which the opening for 4 seconds is repeated twice. The first success / failure determination unit 113 and the second success / failure determination unit 117 hold a success / failure determination table and a prior / failure determination table that are referred to in the determination of the failure. In addition, in order to distinguish especially the prior / failure determination performed when starting the symbol variation, it is also referred to as “predetermined whether or not the main determination is appropriate”.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the success / failure determination table. The success / failure determination table in this figure associates determination results of big hits, small hits, and misses with winning / failed lottery values. Depending on the respective range settings, the hit / failure probabilities for jackpots or small hits are determined. Is determined. As the main determination, the first determination unit 113 and the second determination unit 117 refer to the determination table in FIG. In both the first lottery performed by the first winning / failing determination unit 113 and the second lottery performed by the second winning / failing determination unit 117, a big win is obtained only when the winning / losing lottery value falls within a range of 0 to 299 in normal times. The jackpot range is expanded at the time of certainty change, and not only when the success / failure lottery value falls within the range of 0 to 299 but also when it falls within the range of 300 to 2999. Thus, the range corresponding to the jackpot changes according to the gaming state. In this figure, the single hit / fail judgment table shows the jackpot range for both normal time and probability change, but the success / fail judgment table may be prepared separately for normal time and for probability change. You may prepare separately for 1 lottery and 2nd lottery.

  In the present embodiment, even if the winning / raising lottery value does not correspond to the jackpot range, that is, the so-called losing, it is a small jackpot if it falls within the predetermined range. In the example of this figure, the winning lottery value acquired by the first winning / failing determining means 113 is a small hit when the winning lottery value acquired in the range of 56500 to 65535, and the winning / losing lottery value acquired by the second winning / failing determining means 117 is 64000 to 65535. If it falls within the range, it will be a small hit. That is, the first lottery has a wider range corresponding to the jackpot than the second lottery, and the jackpot is likely to occur. In this way, if it does not correspond to the jackpot, it is all “out of”, but in the example in this figure, the winning lottery value range when it does not correspond to the jackpot out of the cases that do not correspond to the jackpot Is expressed as “displacement”. In addition, although the example which implement | achieves the determination table of whether it is a big win and the determination table of whether it is a small win in the figure in the form of a single winning / nothing determination table was shown in this figure, each may be implement | achieved as a separate table. Good.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing a prior success / failure determination table referred to in prior advance / failure determination. The first success / failure determination unit 113 refers to the table of FIG. 5 (a). When the success / failure lottery value is “0 to 299”, the value “1” indicating that is set as the determination result, In a case where the winning / failing lottery value is “300 to 2999”, a value “2” indicating that is set in the winning / miscue range as a determination result. When the lottery value is “3,000 to 56499”, the value “3” indicating that is set as the determination result, and when the lottery value is “56500 to 65535”, “4” is indicated. The value of “” is set in the validity range as the determination result. Each time the first success / failure determination unit 113 sets the success / failure range as described above, the first success / failure determination unit 113 transmits the value to the effect determination unit 132 together with the value indicating the first lottery and the number of suspensions.

  The second success / failure determination unit 117 refers to the table of FIG. 5 (b), and when the success / failure lottery value is “0 to 299”, sets a value of “1” indicating that to the determination result determination range, In a case where the winning / failing lottery value is “300 to 2999”, a value “2” indicating that is set in the winning / miscue range as a determination result. When the winning / failing lottery value is “3,000 to 63999”, the value “3” indicating that is set in the winning / failing range as the determination result, and when the winning / losing lottery value is “6400 to 65535”, “4” indicating that is determined. The value of “” is set in the validity range as the determination result. Each time the second success / failure determination means 117 sets the success / failure range as described above, the second success / failure determination means 117 transmits the value together with the value indicating the second lottery and the number of holds to the effect determination means 132.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the first winning / failing determination unit 113 and the second winning / failing determination unit 117 determine the stop symbol at the start of symbol variation based on the separately acquired symbol lottery value and the determination result, and the symbol lottery Prior symbol determination is performed as to which symbol range the value corresponds to. The first winning / failing determining means 113 and the second winning / failing determining means 117 hold a plurality of symbol determination tables and a prior symbol determination table that are referred to in order to determine a stop symbol of the special symbol. The first success / failure determination unit 113 and the second success / failure determination unit 117 refer to different symbol determination tables according to the determination result. In addition, in order to distinguish the symbol determination performed in starting symbol variation especially from prior symbol determination, it is also referred to as “symbol determination as the main determination” as appropriate.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing a symbol determination table. FIG. 6A is a table that is referred to when the determination result is a big hit, FIG. 6B is a table that is referred to when the determination result is wrong, and FIG. This table is referred to when the determination result is a small hit. The first success / failure determination unit 113 and the second success / failure determination unit 117 refer to the symbol determination table of the present drawing in the symbol determination as the main determination. In each symbol determination table, a correspondence relationship between a special symbol represented by numbers “0” to “9” and a symbol “−” and a first symbol lottery value or a second symbol lottery value is defined. Each type of special symbol is associated with the success / failure determination result of jackpot, jackpot, and loss, with odd numbers corresponding to jackpots, even numbers corresponding to jackpots, and the symbol “−” Correspond.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, special symbols “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” that are odd numbers among the special symbols “0” to “9” are associated with the jackpot. . Among them, the special symbol “7” indicates a 15R jackpot with certainty. In the case of the first symbol lottery value, it is associated with “0 to 99”, and in the case of the second symbol lottery value, it is associated with “0 to 144”. It is done. The special symbol “3” indicates a 2R jackpot with certainty. The first symbol lottery value is associated with “100 to 149”, and the second symbol lottery value is associated with “145 to 149”. Special symbols “1”, “5”, and “9” indicate a 15R jackpot without any probability change, and the first symbol lottery value and the second symbol lottery value are both associated with “150 to 189” and the special symbol “1”. The special symbol “5” is associated with “190-229”, and the special symbol “9” is associated with “230-255”.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the special symbol “-” is associated with the symbol lottery values in the entire range when the result of the determination is wrong.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, the special symbols “0”, “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” that are even numbers among the special symbols “0” to “9” are associated with the small hits. Yes. The special symbol “0” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “0-49”, the special symbol “2” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “50-99”, and the special symbol “4” is symbol lottery. The special symbol “6” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “150 to 199”, and the special symbol “8” is the symbol lottery value range “200 to 255”. Is associated with.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically illustrating a prior symbol determination table referred to in prior symbol determination. The first success / failure determination unit 113 refers to the table of FIG. 7A when the success / failure lottery value corresponds to the jackpot. When the symbol lottery value is “0 to 99”, the value “1” indicating that is set in the symbol range as the determination result, and when the symbol lottery value is “100 to 149”, “2” indicating that fact is set "Is set in the symbol range as the determination result. When the symbol lottery value is “150 to 255”, the value “3” indicating that is set in the symbol range as the determination result. Whenever the symbol range is set as described above, the first success / failure determination unit 113 transmits the value to the effect determination unit 132 together with the value indicating the first lottery and the number of holdings.

  The second success / failure determination means 117 refers to the table of FIG. 7B when the success / failure lottery value corresponds to the jackpot. When the symbol lottery value is “0 to 144”, the value “1” indicating that is set in the symbol range as the determination result, and when the symbol lottery value is “145 to 149”, “2” indicating that fact is set "Is set in the symbol range as the determination result. When the symbol lottery value is “150 to 255”, the value “3” indicating that is set in the symbol range as the determination result. Whenever the symbol range is set as described above, the second success / failure determination unit 117 transmits the value to the effect determination unit 132 together with the value indicating the second lottery and the number of holds. In addition, when the winning / failing lottery value falls outside or hits a small hit, the table in this figure is not referred to, and for example, a value of “4” may be set in the symbol range as a value indicating a loss or a small hit. May not be set.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the first pattern determining means 114 separately acquires a variation pattern in which a variation process of a symbol variation to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 70 and the effect symbol display device 60 is determined. Is determined from a plurality of variation patterns. The second pattern determining means 119 has a plurality of variation patterns in which a symbol variation display process to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 71 and the effect symbol display device 60 is determined based on a second pattern lottery value separately acquired. Determine from the variation pattern. When the first pattern determination unit 114 and the second pattern determination unit 119 each start symbol variation, the variation pattern of the symbol variation is referred to the variation pattern table in which the correspondence between the pattern lottery value and the variation pattern is determined. Decide. In addition, the first pattern determination unit 114 and the second pattern determination unit 119 execute prior pattern determination as to which variation pattern range the pattern lottery value corresponds to. The first pattern determination unit 114 and the second pattern determination unit 119 respectively hold or share a variation pattern table and a prior pattern determination table that are referred to for determining a variation pattern. In the variation pattern, a variation time from a variation start to a stop when the special symbol is variably displayed is determined, and has various variation times depending on the type. That is, for each variation pattern, a variation display time is defined for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the variation of the special symbol is stopped when the variation display time elapses. It should be noted that the variation pattern determination executed at the start of the symbol variation is also referred to as “variation pattern determination as the main determination” as appropriate in order to distinguish it from the prior pattern determination.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing the variation pattern table. The first pattern determination unit 114 or the second pattern determination unit 119 refers to the variation pattern for detachment shown in FIG. 8A when the determination result is unacceptable. The first pattern determination unit 114 and the second pattern determination unit 119 refer to the variation pattern table of this figure in the variation pattern determination as the main determination. When the determination result is a 15R jackpot, the variation pattern table for 15R jackpot shown in FIG. 8B is referred to. When the determination result is a 2R big hit or a small hit, the 2R big hit and small hit variation pattern table shown in FIG. 8C is referred to.

  In FIG. 8A, the pattern lottery values 0 to 10 are associated with a super reach “super 1”, and the pattern lottery values 11 to 20 are associated with a super reach “super 2”. The pattern lottery values 21 to 255 are associated with any variation pattern of “normal 1”, “normal 2”, and “no reach”. As described above, when the determination result is unsuccessful or small hit, any of super reach, normal reach, and no reach may be selected. It should be noted that, in the variation pattern table for outliers and small hits, a different table is selected so that, in particular, when a variation pattern of “no reach” is selected, a variation pattern in which the variation time is substantially shorter in the time reduction state than in the normal state. refer. Further, the variation pattern table for losing and small hits is defined so that the column to be referred to is different for each number of holdings, details of which will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 8B, the super lot of “super 1” is associated with the pattern lottery values 0 to 120, and the super reach of “super 2” is associated with the pattern lottery values 121 to 240. The pattern lottery values 241 to 250 are associated with the reach of “normal 1”, and the pattern lottery values 251 to 255 are associated with the reach of “normal 2”. As described above, when the determination result is a 15R jackpot, a variation pattern with reach is selected.

  In FIG. 8C, the pattern lottery values 0 to 122 are associated with the super reach “super 3”, and the pattern lottery values 123 to 255 are associated with the normal reach “normal 3”. As described above, when the determination result is 2R big hit or small hit, “Super 3” or “Normal 3” is selected with a probability of about 50%.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically illustrating a prior pattern determination table referred to in prior pattern determination. The first pattern determination unit 114 and the second pattern determination unit 119 refer to the table of FIG. 9A when the result is wrong, and indicate that when the pattern lottery value is “0 to 10”. The value “1” is set in the pattern range as the determination result, and when the pattern lottery value is “11 to 20”, the value “2” indicating that is set in the pattern range as the determination result. When the pattern lottery value is “21 to 255”, the value “3” indicating that is set in the pattern range as the determination result.

  The first pattern determination unit 114 and the second pattern determination unit 119 refer to the table of FIG. 9B when the result of the success / failure is 15R jackpot, and indicate that when the pattern lottery value is “0 to 120”. The value “4” is set in the pattern range as the determination result, and when the pattern lottery value is “121 to 240”, the value “5” indicating that is set in the pattern range as the determination result. When the pattern lottery value is “241 to 250”, the value “6” indicating that is set in the pattern range as the determination result, and when the pattern lottery value is “251 to 255”, “7” indicating that fact is set. "Is set to the pattern range as the determination result.

  The first pattern determining means 114 and the second pattern determining means 119 refer to the table of FIG. 9C when the result of the success / failure is 2R big hit or small hit, and when the pattern lottery value is “0 to 122” A value “8” indicating that is set in the pattern range as the determination result, and if the pattern lottery value is “123 to 255”, a value “9” indicating that is set in the pattern range as the determination result. . Each time the first pattern determining unit 114 and the second pattern determining unit 119 set the pattern range as described above, the value is displayed together with a value indicating whether the lottery is the first lottery or the second lottery, and the number of holdings. It transmits to the effect determination means 132. In the present embodiment, the first pattern determining unit 114 and the second pattern determining unit 119 use the common variation pattern table and the prior pattern determination table. In a modification, the first pattern determination unit 114 and the second pattern determination unit 119 may use different tables for at least one of the variation pattern table and the prior pattern determination table.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the general drawing lottery means 136 executes a lottery by acquiring a lottery value when a game ball passes through the operation port 68. The result of the lottery by the normal symbol lottery means 136 is variably displayed in the form of a normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 59. The regular symbol lottery means 136 holds a symbol determination table to be referred to in order to determine a stop symbol of a normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 59. In the symbol determination table, the correspondence between the lottery value and the normal symbol is determined, and the general symbol lottery means 136 determines the stop symbol of the normal symbol with reference to the symbol determination table. When the determined stop symbol becomes a predetermined symbol, it is determined that the normal symbol is a hit, and after the stop display of the normal symbol is stopped at the stop symbol, the opening / closing control means 124 sets the second start winning opening. The 63 ordinary electric accessories 65 are expanded for a predetermined time. The lottery value of the normal symbol is temporarily held by the hold control means 116. However, the lottery value is held only when the predetermined hold upper limit number held by the hold control means 116 is not exceeded.

  The holding control unit 116 includes a first holding unit 144, a second holding unit 146, and a general drawing holding unit 147. When the symbol variation corresponding to the previous lottery is displayed when the first lottery is newly executed, the first holding means 144 displays the new first lottery result corresponding to the lottery. Hold until fluctuating display starts. In the present embodiment, as the result of the first lottery, up to four pieces are set as the upper and lower lottery values and the setting of the success / failure range, the symbol range, and the pattern range as the preliminary determination results is held. Or you may hold | maintain the result of a prior | preceding determination in the area | region different from a success / failure lottery value. When the symbol change corresponding to the previous lottery is displayed when the second lottery is newly executed, the second holding means 146 displays the result of the new second lottery corresponding to the lottery. Hold until fluctuating display starts. In the present embodiment, as the result of the second lottery, up to four are held as the upper and lower lottery values, and the setting of the success / failure range, the symbol range, and the pattern range as the preliminary determination results is held. Or you may hold | maintain the result of a prior | preceding determination in the area | region different from a success / failure lottery value. The general map holding means 147 holds the general map lottery value acquired by the general map lottery means 136 as a holding ball. These holding numbers are represented by the number of lighting or blinking of the first special figure holding lamp 20, the second special figure holding lamp 21, and the general figure holding lamp 22, respectively. The number of holds by the first holding means 144 and the second holding means 146 is also displayed in the display area 194.

  The lottery value held in the second holding means 146 is preferentially digested over the lottery value held in the first holding means 144 and the symbol variation is displayed. For this reason, even if the big hit lottery value is held in the first holding means 144, as long as the second holding means 146 holds, the symbol variation corresponding to the big hit lottery value of the first holding means 144 is not displayed. Therefore, even if there is a jackpot hold in the first holding means 144, there is a possibility that a plurality of consecutive jackpots can be obtained by continuing to hit the second hold means 146 until a jackpot hold is entered.

  The main display control means 118 includes first special figure control means 148, second special figure control means 150, and universal figure control means 153. The first special symbol control means 148 causes the first special symbol display device 70 to display the fluctuation of the first special symbol 192 according to the fluctuation pattern determined as a result of the first lottery by the first lottery means 126. The first special symbol control means 148 sets a new symbol variation start condition that the symbol variation display corresponding to the first lottery or the second lottery performed before that ends. The second special symbol control means 150 causes the second special symbol display device 71 to display the fluctuation of the second special symbol 193 according to the fluctuation pattern determined as a result of the second lottery by the second lottery means 128. The second special symbol control means 150 also sets a new symbol variation start condition that the symbol variation display corresponding to the first lottery or the second lottery performed before that has ended.

  When the second lottery 146 holds the result of the second lottery, the first special figure control unit 148 reserves the start of the symbol variation display corresponding to the first lottery. On the other hand, the second special figure control means 150 starts the symbol variation display corresponding to the second lottery regardless of whether or not the result of the first lottery is held by the first holding means 144. Thereby, when the lottery value is held by both the first holding means 144 and the second holding means 146, the lottery value held by the second holding means 146 is preferentially read and the symbol variation is displayed. The In such a case, the lottery value held in the first holding means 144 is not read until the number of holdings in the second holding means 146 becomes zero, and the symbol variation thereof does not start.

  The first special figure control means 148 and the second special figure control means 150 issue a change start command and a change stop command at the timing of starting and stopping the change display of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193, respectively. This is transmitted to the effect display control means 134. When transmitting a change start command, the determination result or determination result determined as the main determination, a stop symbol, a value indicating each of the change patterns, a value indicating whether the first lottery or the second lottery is held, and on hold The order is transmitted to the effect display control means 134 together with the change start command. When transmitting the variation stop command, a value indicating the stop symbol is transmitted to the effect display control means 134 together with the variation stop command. Thereby, the fluctuation display by the main display control means 118 and the effect display control means 134 is synchronized, and the interlock is maintained. The normal symbol control means 153 causes the normal symbol display device 59 to display the lottery result by the normal symbol lottery means 136 as a normal symbol variation display.

  The condition holding means 176 holds a special game operating condition as a condition for shifting to a special game including a unit game that involves opening a special winning opening a plurality of times. The special game operation condition is a result indicating that the game shifts to the special game in the first lottery or the second lottery, and the content of the condition is that the symbol variation corresponding to the lottery is stopped.

  When the first lottery by the first lottery means 126 results in the transition to the special game, the special game control unit 120 operates the special game when the first special symbol 192 is stopped in a predetermined jackpot mode. It is determined that the condition is satisfied, and the special game is executed by opening the first big winning opening 91. Similarly, the special game control means 120, when the second lottery by the second lottery means 128 results in the transition to the special game, when the second special symbol 193 is stopped in a predetermined jackpot mode It is determined that the special game operation condition is satisfied, and the special game is executed by opening the second big prize opening 92. The special game is a game in which the opening / closing operation of the first grand prize winning opening 91 or the second big winning prize opening 92 is continuously performed a plurality of times, and is configured by a plurality of unit games with a single opening / closing operation as a unit. The special game has a plurality of open mode patterns, and includes a 15R jackpot that repeats a unit game 15 times and a 2R jackpot that repeats a short unit game only twice. The 15R jackpot is controlled based on an open mode pattern in which the first grand prize port 91 or the second big prize port 92 is opened for about 30 seconds in principle in one unit game. The 2R jackpot is controlled based on an open mode pattern in which the first grand prize port 91 or the second big prize port 92 is opened for about 0.4 seconds in one unit game. The special game control means 120 ends the special game when the set round number of unit games is exhausted.

  The small hit game control means 138 executes the small hit game when the result of the success / failure lottery indicates a transition to the small hit game, and the symbol is stopped in a predetermined small hit mode. The small hit game control means 138 holds a plurality of opening mode patterns of the first big winning port 91 or the second big winning port 92 as control patterns for the small hit game, and the special game is executed based on any of the open mode patterns. Depending on how, a small hit game is selected from a plurality of open mode patterns. The opening pattern of the first big winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92 in the small hit game is a pattern in which opening for about 0.4 seconds is executed 1 to 3 times. For example, when the special game is a 15R jackpot without a probability change, the opening mode pattern of the small hit game is 1 release, and when the special game is a 2R jackpot with a probability change, the opening mode pattern of the small hit game is open. In the case where the special game is a 15R jackpot with a certain change in the special game, the open mode pattern of the small game is 3 times. In this way, since the opening mode pattern of the small hit game is different depending on the special game mode, the player sees the opening mode of the first big winning port 91 or the second big winning port 92 in the small hit game and plays the special game. The aspect of this can be estimated. Thereby, the expectation with respect to the magnitude | size of the profit by a special game can be raised.

  The specific game execution means 122 controls the normal game in the state of probability change and short time. The specific game execution means 122 always shifts to the time-saving state after the end of the special game regardless of whether the special game is caused by the result of the first lottery or the second lottery. On the other hand, the transition to the probability change state after the end of the special game is limited to the case where the symbol determined by the first winning / failing determination unit 113 or the second winning / failing determination unit 117 is a jackpot symbol accompanying the transition to probability variation. The time-short state is continued until the total number of variable display times of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 reaches a predetermined number of end conditions, for example, 100 times from the end of the special game. The first pattern determining unit 114 and the second pattern determining unit 119 select a variation pattern having a short variation time so that the variation display time of the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 is substantially shortened. However, in the normal state, the fluctuation pattern table corresponding to the number of holdings by the first holding unit 144 or the second holding unit 146 is referred to, and the fluctuation time is reduced as the number of holdings by the first holding unit 144 or the second holding unit 146 decreases. A long fluctuation pattern is likely to appear. On the other hand, the probability variation state is continued until a special game with the next jackpot is executed. During the probability variation state, the probability that the success / failure determination result by the first success / failure determination unit 113 or the second success / failure determination unit 117 is a big hit is maintained at a high value.

  The opening / closing control means 124 controls the opening / closing of the ordinary electric accessory 65, the first grand prize winning port 91, and the second major prize winning port 92 of the second start winning prize port 63. When the normal symbol is stopped in a specific manner, the opening / closing control means 124 sends an opening instruction to the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 76 to open the ordinary electric accessory 65 of the second start winning opening 63. In the special game, the opening / closing control means 124 sends an opening instruction to the big prize opening solenoid 80 or the big prize opening solenoid 81 to open the first big prize opening 91 or the second big prize opening 92.

  In the present embodiment, when the determination result corresponds to a big hit in the prior win determination, a predetermined winning lottery result held by the hold control means 116 is used to indicate that fact using a small hit game operation. Execute result adjustment processing. The game adjustment unit 140 executes a result adjustment process so that at least one result other than the result corresponding to the big win among the results of the success / failure lottery held by the hold control unit 116 is replaced with a result indicating the shift to the small hit game. In this embodiment, if the result of the result adjustment process is executed so that the result held in the hold control means 116 before the result corresponding to the jackpot is a small hit, if the action of the small hit game occurs, the big hit It can be operated like a precursor that would make a player expect to happen soon. In the game adjustment means 140, the first success / failure lottery value or the second success / failure lottery value is indicated by “1” or “2” shown in the prior success / failure lottery value in the advance success / failure determination by the first success / failure determination means 113 or the second success / failure determination means 117 The result adjustment process is executed when it is determined that “

  The result adjustment process is realized by exchanging the success / failure result and exchanging the variation time. Replacing the success / failure result is realized by replacing the success / failure determination table with an adjustment success / failure determination table which is another special table. The change of the variation time is realized by replacing the variation pattern table with another special variation table for adjustment.

  FIG. 10 schematically shows an adjustment success / failure determination table. In the success / failure determination table before replacement, the success / failure lottery value and the success / failure result are associated with each other so that a small hit occurs with a probability of about 1/7 or 1/42 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the table of this figure after replacement, the success / failure lottery value and the success / failure result are associated with each other so that a small hit is generated with a probability of about 99/100. According to the adjustment success / failure determination table, the result adjustment process is executed with higher probability when any of the success / failure lottery results corresponds to the jackpot than when it does not correspond. On the other hand, even if none of the winning / losing lottery results correspond to a big win, there is a possibility that a result adjustment process in which a small win occurs as a dummy with a certain probability may be executed. Also, when the adjustment success / failure determination table is referred to, a small win occurs with a probability of 99%, and when the symbol variation timing corresponding to the success / failure lottery result corresponding to the jackpot that triggered the result adjustment processing is reached. It is returned to the original determination table. When a sufficient number of holds are held in the hold control means 116, the jackpots are continuously generated from the fact that the jackpot symbol variation is actually started after it is found that the jackpot is achieved by prefetching. An aspect is realized.

  FIG. 11 schematically shows an adjustment variation pattern table. In the fluctuation pattern table before replacement, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), when the lottery result corresponds to a small hit, the lottery value corresponds to the fluctuation pattern so that “super 3” or “normal 3” is selected. It is attached. On the other hand, in the table of this figure after replacement, when the lottery result corresponds to a small lot, it is determined that a variation pattern having a variation time of about 2 seconds is always selected regardless of the lottery value. The variation time of 2 seconds is the shortest variation time among the variation patterns prepared in the pachinko gaming machine 10. As a result, after changing the table, the symbol variation due to the variation time shortened to about 2 seconds until the symbol variation timing corresponding to the success / failure lottery result corresponding to the jackpot is displayed, and the time required for the jackpot occurrence is substantially Can be shortened to the shortest.

  As described above, there is a possibility that a small hit game may be forcibly generated by executing a result adjustment process when the determination result corresponds to a big hit in the prior success determination, and the player generates a small hit game There is a possibility that it can be recognized by appearance. By generating a small hit game in this way, it is possible to give the player the expectation that a special game will be generated soon and the expectation of profit expansion, and realize a novel effect or game play using the operation of the small hit game. be able to. In particular, it is possible to continuously generate small hit games, shorten the fluctuation time and make the small hits continuous, and show the player a special behavior that is different from normal symbol fluctuations, so expect special games Can be raised.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the pattern storage unit 130 holds a plurality of variation effect pattern data as the variation effect pattern of the decorative design. The effect determining means 132 is displayed on the effect symbol display device 60 by the effect display control means 134 according to the result of the first lottery received from the first lottery means 126 or the result of the second lottery received from the second lottery means 128. The contents of the production to be performed are determined. The effect determining unit 132 selects any one of a plurality of variation effect pattern data corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol determined by the first pattern determining unit 114 or the second pattern determining unit 119 and selects the pattern storage unit 130. Read from. The effect determination means 132 determines the combination of the stop symbols of the decorative symbol 190 based on the special symbols stop symbol and the variation pattern determined by the first lottery means 126 or the second lottery means 128.

  The stop symbol of the decorative symbol 190 is formed as a combination of three symbols. For example, when the determination result of the first lottery means 126 or the second lottery means 128 indicates a transition to a special game with 15R jackpot For example, a combination of three symbols such as “777” and “111” is selected. In this case, it is preferable that the same numbers as the first special symbol 192 and the second special symbol 193 are selected as the numbers to be arranged as the decorative symbol 190. For example, when the first special symbol 192 or the second special symbol 193 is “7”, the decorative symbol 190 is “777”. Or you may make it show the jackpot also by the combination of the symbol in which the specific symbol which shows that it is a hit in at least one of three symbols is included. A specific combination, for example, a predetermined combination such as “357” is also selected when the result of the determination is a 2R big hit or a small win, but the specific combination is not necessarily a combination of three symbols. It does not have to be. When the determination result is neither big hit nor small hit, it is a combination that does not have three symbols such as “312” and “946”, and is a specific combination that is selected at the time of 2R big hit or small hit. A combination that does not apply is selected. When the determination result is not 15R big hit, and a variation pattern indicating a loss with reach is selected, a combination with only one symbol such as “191” or “727” is selected. . The effect determining unit 132 sends the stop symbol combination of the decorative symbol 190 and the variation symbol pattern data of the decorative symbol to the effect display control unit 134.

  In the decorative design variation effect pattern data, a decorative symbol variation display mode, that is, a variation process and a variation process from the variation start to the variation stop of the decoration symbol are defined. The variation effect pattern includes a reach pattern that displays a stop symbol combination that is a hit state or a disengagement mode after a reach state that is a big win if one more symbols are aligned, and a stop symbol that is a disengagement mode without reaching a reach state An unreachable pattern that displays the combination is included. In particular, patterns that have a long and short variation time are included as patterns when going through the reach state. Reach patterns with a relatively short variation time are called "normal reach", and reach patterns with a long variation time are called "super reach". ". Each variation effect pattern has a variation time for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the symbol variation is stopped when the variation time elapses. The effect determining unit 132 selects a variation effect pattern of a decorative symbol having the same variation time as that of the special symbol in accordance with the variation pattern of the special symbol.

  The effect display control means 134 includes a first effect control means 168 and a second effect control means 170. The effect display control means 134 further controls effect processing such as lighting and extinguishing of the game effect lamp 90 and sound output from the speaker 18.

  The first effect control means 168 and the second effect control means 170 use the first lottery result by the first lottery means 126 or the second lottery result by the second lottery means 128 as the selected variation effect pattern data. Therefore, the decorative symbol 190 is variably displayed in the display area 194 of the effect symbol display device 60. The first effect control means 168 and the second effect control means 170 determine that the change display of the decorative symbol 190 corresponding to the previous first lottery or second lottery has ended, and a new symbol change start condition And

  The first effect control means 168 reserves the start of the symbol variation display corresponding to the first lottery when the second lottery result is held by the second holding means 146. The second effect control means 170 starts the symbol variation display corresponding to the second lottery regardless of whether or not the result of the first lottery is held by the first holding means 144. As a result, when the lottery value is held by both the first holding means 144 and the second holding means 146, the lottery value held by the second holding means 146 is preferentially read out, and the decorative design fluctuates. Is displayed. In such a case, the lottery value held by the first holding unit 144 is not read until the number of holdings of the second holding unit 146 becomes zero, and the variation of the decorative design does not start. As described above, the effect display control means 134 causes the effect symbol display device 60 to display the symbol variation effect including the variation display of the decorative symbol 190.

  The hold display unit 142 displays the same number of hold lamp images on the effect symbol display device 60 in order to notify the player of the number of results of the winning / failing lottery held by the hold control unit 116. The hold lamp image may have different display forms such as colors and shapes for the lottery result corresponding to the first lottery and the lottery result corresponding to the second lottery. The hold display means 142 is different from the normal hold lamp image in the display mode such as the color and shape of the result of the lottery determination held by the hold control means 116 and the result that has been replaced by the result adjustment process. The effect symbol display device 60 is displayed using the special hold lamp image. For example, based on the result of the pre-determination process, the image is displayed as one of a plurality of types of special reserved lamp images that suggest a high degree of expectation for shifting to a special game. The special reserved lamp image is a star-shaped image that is lit in a color different from that of a normal reserved lamp image that is circular, and represents the degree of expectation of transition to a special game depending on the size.

  Based on the result of the pre-determination process, the hold display means 142 suggests that the degree of expectation is high with a higher probability than when it is determined that the result of the successful lottery that has been executed corresponds to the jackpot. The display mode is displayed. Therefore, when it is actually determined in advance that one of the results of the winning / losing lottery corresponds to the jackpot, the reserved lamp image is switched to an image different from the normal one with a high probability. On the other hand, there is a possibility that the hold lamp image is switched to an image different from the normal image as a dummy with a certain probability even when the winning / losing lottery result does not correspond to the jackpot. At this time, among multiple types of special hold lamp images, which are various star-shaped images of large and small sizes, a larger size is likely to be selected with a higher probability when it actually corresponds to a jackpot, and a smaller size does not correspond to a jackpot Correspondence with the result of the lottery determination is determined so that the selection is easy.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing in detail a variation pattern table for a disengagement and a small hit in normal times. In the variation pattern table 210 of this figure, the range of the pattern lottery value associated with the variation pattern is different for each number of holds. Specifically, the smaller the number of holds, the wider the range of pattern lottery values assigned to variation patterns with relatively long variation times, and the probability that variation patterns with long variation times will be selected is increased. . Therefore, the average fluctuation time becomes longer as the number of holdings by the first holding unit 144 or the second holding unit 146 is smaller. Therefore, when the number of holdings by the first holding unit 144 or the second holding unit 146 is less than a predetermined number, for example, 1 to 2, the selection probability of the variation pattern having a long variation time becomes higher than usual, and the variation time is increased. It tends to be relatively long.

  In the first column 212, the pattern lottery value range and the variation pattern when the number of results held by the first lottery 144 and the number of results held by the second lottery 146 are 0 are displayed. Correspondence is shown. Similarly, in the second column 214, the third column 216, the fourth column 218, and the fifth column 220, the number of the first lottery by the first holding unit 144 or the second lottery by the second holding unit 146 The correspondence relationship between the pattern lottery value range and the variation pattern when the number of result holds is 1, 2, 3, 4 is shown. That is, it can be considered that the first column 212, the second column 214, the third column 216, the fourth column 218, and the fifth column 220 indicate the variation pattern table for each number of holds. In this figure, an example is described in which a plurality of variation patterns that can be selected at the time of losing or hitting are classified into five types according to variation time, but actually, a plurality of variation effect patterns are prepared for each of these categories. This is equivalent to the fact that dozens of types of variation effect patterns are associated with the lottery value ranges of the respective categories as a whole.

  The first range 222 includes a first column 212, a second column 214, a third column 216, a fourth column 218, and a fifth column as a variation pattern when the lottery value corresponds to a pattern lottery value from 0 to 10. Each of 220 is associated with a super reach variation pattern of “super 1”. The second range 224 includes a first column 212, a second column 214, a third column 216, a fourth column 218, and a fifth column as a variation pattern when the lottery value corresponds to a pattern lottery value from 11 to 20. Each of 220 is associated with a super reach variation pattern of “super 2”. Thus, in the case of the pattern lottery value with the lottery value from 0 to 10 and the pattern lottery value with the lottery value from 11 to 20, the variation pattern having the same variation time is selected regardless of the number of holdings.

  The third range 226 includes a first column 212, a second column 214, a third column 216, a fourth column 218, and a fifth column as a variation pattern when the lottery value corresponds to a pattern lottery value from 21 to 255. Each of 220 is associated with three types of variation patterns of “normal 1”, “normal 2”, and “no reach”, which are normal reach. However, the range of pattern lottery values associated with each variation pattern varies depending on the number of holds. In the first column 212, the sizes of the lottery value ranges to which “normal 1”, “normal 2”, and “no reach” are associated are substantially equal, and the ranges obtained by dividing 21 to 255 into approximately three equal portions are associated with each other. Yes. On the other hand, in the second column 214, the size of the lottery value range associated with each of “normal 1” and “normal 2” is slightly smaller than the lottery value range associated with “no reach”. In the third column 216, the size of the lottery value range associated with “normal 1” and “normal 2” is further reduced. In the fourth column 218 and the fifth column 220, “normal 1” “normal 2” ", The size of the lottery value range associated with each of" is further reduced.

  The fluctuation time of “Normal 1” and “Normal 2” may be longer than the fluctuation time of “No reach”, and when “No reach”, the fluctuation time may be shortened like the short time state. Depending on the setting contents of the third range 226, the average variation time will be different. The pattern lottery value range for “Normal 1” and “Normal 2” decreases as the number of holds increases from 0 to 1, 2, 3, 4, and conversely the pattern lottery value range for “out of reach” increases. Therefore, the average fluctuation time becomes shorter as the number of holds increases, and conversely, the average change time becomes longer as the number of holds decreases. In this way, by using a variation pattern table in which the correspondence between the pattern lottery value range and the variation pattern is different for each number of holdings, control that makes it easy to select a variation pattern with a long variation time when the number of holdings decreases is realized. be able to.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen on which a hold lamp image is displayed in a normal state. As shown in this figure, during normal times, as in the first hold display 204 and the second hold display 206, a circular hold lamp image is displayed in the display area 194 so as to light up as many as the number of lottery results held. .

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which a special hold lamp image is displayed. After the result adjustment processing is performed, a star-shaped special hold lamp image is displayed in the display area 194 so as to be lit as the first hold display 204 and the second hold display 206 as shown in FIG. In the example of this figure, it is suggested that the expectation for occurrence of a big hit is high by displaying the special reserved lamp image in the maximum size star shape. When this special reserved lamp image is displayed as a small-sized star shape, it is suggested that the degree of expectation for occurrence of a big hit is relatively low.
The process of operation and control by the above configuration will be described below.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a basic operation process in the pachinko gaming machine. First, processing is executed when a game ball has won a first start winning opening 62, a second starting winning opening 63, a general winning opening 72, a first big winning opening 91, a second big winning opening 92, etc. (S10). If the game is in a normal game (Y in S12), the control process of the normal game such as symbol variation is executed (S14). If the game is not in a normal game (N in S12), if it is a big hit (Y in S15), A special game control process is executed (S16). If it is not a big hit (N in S15), a small hit game control process is executed (S17). Thereafter, award ball payout according to various winnings is processed with the number of winning balls set in the winning process of S10 (S18).

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing in detail the winning process of S10 in FIG. If there is a ball in the first start winning opening 62 or the second start winning opening 63 (Y in S20), the number of winning balls corresponding to the start winning opening is set (S22). If the ball is entering the first start winning port 62, it is referred to whether or not the number of holds by the first holding unit 144 is less than 4, and if the ball is entering the second starting winning port 63, the second holding unit. Referring to whether or not the number of holdings by 146 is less than 4, if it is possible to hold each of them again (Y in S24), the lottery value is acquired (S26). At this time, information such as the type of the lottery value to be held (whether it is the first lottery value or the second lottery value) and the hold order of the lottery value is transmitted to the effect determination unit 132. Then, a pre-judgment process for determining whether or not to win is executed based on the winning or failing lottery value (S28), and the winning or failing lottery value is held in the first holding means 144 or the second holding means 146 (S30). If there is no entry to the first start winning opening 62 or the second starting winning opening 63 in S20, the processing from S22 to S30 is skipped (N in S20). If the number of holds reaches the upper limit in S24 and further holding is impossible, the processing from S26 to S30 is skipped (N in S24). The above processing from S20 to S30 is the winning process for the ball entering the start winning opening. In the present embodiment, both the first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 execute the determination as prior determination. However, as a modification, the preliminary determination by the first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means. It is good also as a different aspect from the prior determination by 128. For example, the first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 may be made different from each other in terms of which one of the determination of winning / failing, symbol determination, and pattern determination is executed as prior determination. Alternatively, only one of the first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 may execute a pre-determination and transmit the determination result, or the first lottery may be determined according to the gaming state such as whether or not the probability change is in progress. You may switch which of the lottery means 126 and the 2nd lottery means 128 performs a prior determination. Or it is good also as an aspect which determines whether prior determination is performed in both the 1st lottery means 126 and the 2nd lottery means 128 according to a gaming state. Further, the first lottery means 126 and the second lottery means 128 may switch whether to use the determination result according to the gaming state on the sub-board 104 side while transmitting the pre-determination result to the sub-board 104. .

  If there is a winning at the general winning opening 72 (Y of S32), the number of winning balls corresponding to the general winning opening 72 is set (S34), and if there is no winning at the general winning opening 72, S34 is skipped. (N in S32). If there is a winning ball in the first big winning hole 91 or the second big winning hole 92 (Y in S36), the number of winning balls corresponding to the first big winning hole 91 or the second big winning hole 92 is set ( S38) If there is no ball entering the first grand prize winning port 91 and the second big winning port 92, S38 is skipped (N in S36).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing in detail the advance determination process of S28 in FIG. First, a preliminary success / failure determination is executed with reference to the preliminary success / failure determination table (S40), a value indicating the success / failure range is set as the determination result (S41), and the value indicating the success / failure range is “1” or “2”. In this case, that is, when the result of the prior adequacy determination corresponds to the jackpot (Y in S42), the adequacy determination table is replaced with the adjustment adequacy determination table and the prior adequacy determination table is replaced with the adjustment advance adequacy determination table (S43) The variation pattern table is replaced with the adjustment variation pattern table, and the advance pattern determination table is replaced with the adjustment advance pattern determination table (S44). The replacement of each table may be realized, for example, by turning on a flag indicating that an adjustment table should be referred to instead of a normal table. If the value indicating the success / failure range is not “1” or “2”, that is, if the result of the prior success / failure determination does not correspond to the jackpot (N in S42), the processing of S43 and S44 is skipped. Prior symbol determination is executed with reference to the preliminary symbol determination table (S45), a value indicating the symbol range is set as the determination result (S46), and preliminary pattern determination is performed with reference to the preliminary pattern determination table (S48). ), A value indicating the pattern range is set as the determination result (S50). In addition, when the table is exchanged in S43 and S44, in S45 to S50, the pre-win / fail determination, the pre-design determination, and the pre-pattern determination are executed again for all the other win / win lottery values held. Reset the value indicating the judgment result. The value of the pre-determination result set as described above is temporarily stored in the transmission buffer together with information such as the value indicating whether the first lottery or the second lottery, the number of holds, the hold order, etc. It is transmitted to the effect determining means 132 of the substrate 104 (S52).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an overall process of the normal game control process of S14 in FIG. In this normal game control process, the pre-reading process in the sub board 104 is executed (S150), the special symbol changing process in the main board 102 (S152), and the decorative symbol changing process in the sub board 104 are executed (S154). Will be repeatedly processed.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing in detail the prefetching process of S150 in FIG. Based on information obtained by so-called prefetching, the criteria such as what kind of production is executed in the sub-board 104 and what kind of result the prior determination result is executed according to the result are Pachinko games. Various methods are conceivable depending on the design of game play in the machine 10. In the present embodiment, the sub-board 104 side also recognizes in advance that the variation pattern of “Super 1” has been selected based on the result of the prior determination process, and suggests that the expectation of jackpot is high. And

  When the effect determination means 132 of the sub-board 104 receives the pre-determination result from the main board 102 (Y in S160), the effect display control means 134 receives either the first lottery or the second lottery received together with the pre-determination result. The display of the number of holds in the effect symbol display device 60 is updated based on the value indicating whether or not and the number of holds information (S162). The number of holds at that time is a sufficient number for a predetermined special effect such as “3 or more” (Y in S164), and the value of the success / failure range set by the pre-determination is “1”. Even if the value of “4” is “4” (Y of S166) or a different value (N of S166), the value of the success / failure range set by the prior determination is “3” and the value of the pattern range is “1”. In the case of (Y of S168), the special effect setting is turned on (S172). In S168, when the value of the success / failure range and the value of the pattern range do not correspond (N of S168), S172 is skipped. When the number of holds is less than the predetermined number (N of S164), the processing from S166 to S172 is skipped. When the result of the pre-determination process has not been received, the entire flow in this figure is skipped (N in S160). In the example of this figure, it is determined whether or not the special effect setting should be turned on based on the success / failure range and the pattern range set in advance. As a modification, even if it is determined whether or not the special effect setting should be turned on according to the symbol range set by the prior determination, or according to which determination result of the first lottery or the second lottery Good. Or you may determine whether special effect setting should be turned on based on predetermined lottery with those information. Or you may determine whether special effect setting should be turned on using at least one information among the information sent as a prior determination result, ie, the kind of design, the result of success / failure, a variation pattern, etc. In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the special effect setting is turned on when the result of the success / failure determination is a big hit regardless of whether it is a normal time or a certainty change, that is, when the big hit is confirmed. In such a case, the special effect setting may be turned on in the case of a small hit. Alternatively, the special effect setting may be turned on at the time of 15R jackpot or 2R jackpot.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing in detail the execution process of the special symbol variation process of S152 in FIG. If the symbol variation display has not yet started (N in S60), or if the lottery value is being held by the second holding means 146 (Y in S62), the second win / fail determination means 117 is moved from the second holding means 146. The lottery value is read to determine whether or not the second special symbol 193 is correct (S64), the second correct / invalid determining means 117 determines the second special symbol 193 (S66), and the second pattern determining means 119 is the second special symbol 193. The variation pattern is determined (S68), and a variation start command is transmitted to the sub-board 104 together with the determined result to start symbol variation of the second special symbol 193 (S77).

  When the lottery value is not held by the second holding means 146 (N in S62), and when the lottery value is held by the first holding means 144 (Y in S70), the first winning / failing judging means 113 reads out the lottery value from the first holding means 144 and determines whether or not the first special symbol 192 is correct (S72). The first correct / incorrect determination means 113 determines the first special symbol 192 (S74), and the first pattern. The determining means 114 determines the variation pattern of the first special symbol 192 (S75). When the result of the first winning / notifying determination or the second winning / notifying determination is a small hit (Y of S76), an opening mode pattern of the first big winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92 in the small hit game is determined (S77). The change start command is transmitted to the sub-board 104 together with the result determined in S72 to 77 or S64 to S77, and the symbol change of the first special symbol 192 is started (S78). If the result of the first or second determination is not a small hit (N in S76), S77 is skipped. When the lottery value is not held by the first holding means 144, the processing from S72 to S78 is skipped (N in S70).

  When the symbol variation display has already started (Y in S60), the symbol variation display of the special symbol is processed (S79), and when the predetermined variation time has passed and the symbol display stop timing is reached (S80) Y) A variation stop command is transmitted to the sub-board 104 to stop the symbol variation being displayed at a predetermined stop symbol (S82), and the flow of this diagram is terminated. If the symbol display stop timing has not been reached, the process of S82 is skipped and the flow of this figure is terminated (N in S80).

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing in detail the execution process of the decorative symbol variation process of S154 in FIG. When the effect determining means 132 of the sub-board 104 receives the change start command from the main board 102 (Y in S180), the stop pattern of the decorative symbol is determined according to the received special symbol stop symbol, the variation pattern, and the result of the determination. (S182), and the variation effect pattern is determined (S184). Here, when the special effect setting is turned on (Y in S186), the already determined variable effect pattern is not a pattern including specific effect content that should be superimposed on the notice effect. If it is not the symbol fluctuation (N in S190) that is a trigger when the special effect setting is turned on (N in S188), a setting for displaying a predetermined notice effect is executed (S192), and the special effect setting is set. If it is a symbol change that is turned on (Y in S190), the special effect setting is turned off (S194). Thereafter, the display of variation of the decorative design is started (S196). When the special effect setting is not on (N in S186) or when the specific effect content is included in the variation effect pattern (Y in S188), the processing from S190 to S194 is skipped. When the change start command is not received from the main board 102, S182 to S194 are skipped (N of S180).

  If the decorative symbol variation display has already started (Y in S198), the symbol variation or notice effect display processing is executed (S200), and when a variation stop command is received from the main board 102 (Y in S202). ), The symbol variation display is stopped by stopping and displaying the decorative symbols in the stop mode determined in S182 (S204). If a change stop command has not been received from the main board 102, S204 is skipped (N in S202), and if change display has not been started, S200 to S204 are skipped (N in S198).

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing in detail the special game of S16 in FIG. First, when the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92 has not yet been opened (N in S100), the effect display control means 134 starts the special game effect process (S102), and the opening / closing control means 124 The first big prize opening 91 or the second big prize opening 92 is opened (S104). If the first grand prize opening 91 or the second big prize opening 92 has been opened, S102 and S104 are skipped (Y in S100). When the predetermined opening time has elapsed since the first grand prize winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92 was opened (Y in S106), or the opening time has not elapsed (N in S106), When the number of balls entered into the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second grand prize winning port 92 has reached nine or more (Y in S108), the opening / closing control means 124 opens the first big winning port 91 or the second big winning port 92. It is closed (S110). If the opening time has not elapsed (N in S106), and the number of balls entered into the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second major winning prize port 92 has not reached nine or more (N in S108), S110 and after. This process is skipped and the flow of S16 is terminated.

  If the unit game has reached the final round after the closing of the first grand prize port 91 or the second grand prize port 92 in S110 (Y in S112), the production display control means 134 ends the special game production process ( In step S114, the special game control unit 120 ends the special game (S116), and starts the specific game, that is, execution of probability change and time reduction (S118). If the unit game has not reached the final round (N of S112), 1 is added to the number of rounds and the flow of S16 is terminated (S119). Since the time reduction is started as the specific game in S118, the normal variation pattern table and the adjustment variation pattern table set up to that point are replaced with the variation pattern table for the time reduction. If the adjustment success / failure determination table has been set up to that point, the normal success / failure determination table shown in FIG. 4 is restored.

(Second embodiment)
In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, when the winning / failing lottery result corresponds to a big win, a small hit game is generated for the other winning / failing lottery results. However, the small win game is a part of the special game. This is different from the first embodiment in that it is executed in a visible operation mode. Hereinafter, the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment will be mainly described, and description of common configurations and operations will be omitted.

  The game adjustment means 140 executes a result adjustment process in which at least one of the success / failure lottery results adjacent to the success / failure lottery result corresponding to the jackpot is replaced with a result indicating the transition to the small hitting game. The small hit game in this case is executed in an operation mode having continuity with the special game. The result adjustment process in the present embodiment is also a process of replacing the success / failure determination table with the adjustment success / failure determination table and replacing the variation pattern table with the adjustment variation pattern table. The basic operation process is the same as in the first embodiment, but in this embodiment, the opening mode pattern of the first big winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92 in the small hit game is 1 for about 1.8 seconds. By limiting to the pattern of opening once, a mode that looks like a part of the special game is realized. In other words, by opening up the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second big winning prize port 92 for a short time, while opening it up like a 2R jackpot, it opens up to the maximum time in a range that is not handled as a special game. It is possible to increase the possibility that a game ball can actually enter and acquire a ball, and to give a profit to the player.

  The game adjustment unit 140 may execute the result adjustment process from the time when the determination result corresponds to the jackpot in the prior winning determination, or the lottery result after the winning determination result corresponding to the jackpot, that is, the symbol variation after the end of the special game The result adjustment process may be executed from the lottery result. Or you may perform a result adjustment process with respect to both from the time when a prior | preceding success determination result corresponds to jackpot, and the lottery result after completion | finish of a special game. In this way, it is possible to generate a small hit game either before or after the special game, or both so that it appears as if it is a part of the special game. As a result, the game has an appearance in which the number of unit games constituting the special game is increased from the normal number, and can also obtain an actual profit by entering the first grand prize winning port 91 or the second big winning prize port 92. Can be realized. The result adjustment process executed for the lottery result after the end of the special game may be continued until a predetermined number of symbol changes are made, or the number of lottery results held in the hold control means 116 becomes zero. May be continued.

  In the present embodiment, the effect determination means 132 displays the effect display as a special game on the screen of the effect symbol display device 60 not only during the special game but also at the stage of the small hit game occurring before and after the special game. Make a decision. That is, as the variation effect pattern of the symbol variation in the small hit game generated by the result adjustment process, the variation effect pattern including the effect content called the so-called demonstration effect in the special game is selected. For example, as the variation effect pattern of the small hit game that occurs before the start of the special game, the variation effect pattern of the effect content corresponding to the start demonstration effect including a message indicating that the special game will be started is selected. . Further, as the variation effect pattern of the small hit game that occurs after the end of the special game, a variation effect pattern of the effect content corresponding to the end demonstration effect that includes a message indicating that the special game has ended is selected. In this case, one start demonstration effect and one end demonstration effect are configured by continuously displaying a plurality of variation effect patterns in a plurality of symbol variations.

(Third embodiment)
In the present embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, when the result of the pre-win / fail determination corresponds to the big win, a small win game is generated for the other win / fail lot results, but the first lottery and the second lottery New playability is realized by targeting. Hereinafter, the difference between the present embodiment and the first and second embodiments will be mainly described, and description of common configurations and operations will be omitted.

  The game adjustment means 140 executes a result adjustment process when a result corresponding to the jackpot is obtained in the prior win determination. At this time, the second winning / losing lottery value held in the second holding means 146 is preferentially digested over the first winning / losing lottery value held in the first holding means 144. Therefore, if the first winning / losing lottery value corresponds to a big win, the small winning game will be continuously executed unless the second winning / losing lottery value held in the second holding means 146 becomes zero. Therefore, if the player wins a lottery game without making the right / left lottery value held while making a right-hand hit, the second winning / failing lottery value is secured while securing the big hit in the first winning / losing lottery value. You can play games that continue to earn profits little by little.

  On the other hand, when the number of second winning / losing lottery values held in the second holding means 146 becomes zero, the first winning / losing lottery value held in the first holding means 144 starts to be digested, so a special game occurs. May be returned to the original success / failure determination table. Thereby, the continuous generation of the small hit game is also ended. Also, when a big win occurs in the second winning / losing lottery value, the continuous generation of the small hit game ends.

  As a modified example, the game adjustment means 140 is a case where the result adjustment process is executed only when the first winning / losing lottery value corresponds to the jackpot in the prior winning determination, and only when it corresponds to the value that becomes the jackpot only at the time of certainty change Also good. For example, this is the case of the success / failure lottery value “300-2999” in FIG. In this case, the player sees the special hold lamp image on the first hold display 204 and recognizes that there is a high possibility that the first winning / losing lottery value corresponds to the jackpot. On top of that, it is better to immediately win the jackpot in the 1st win-win lottery value, or bet on the possibility of acquiring more profits than the jackpot by the consecutive jackpot in the 2nd win-win lottery value, and choose according to your preference You can hit aim.

  In the above, this invention was demonstrated based on the Example. This embodiment is merely an example, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the combination of each component and each processing process, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention. is there. Hereinafter, modifications will be described.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the symbol variation display is always performed for only one of the first winning / losing lottery value and the second winning / losing lottery value has been described. In a modification, it is good also as a structure which accept | permits a symbol fluctuation display simultaneously about the 1st winning / notch lottery value and the 2nd winning / failing lottery value.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the present invention is realized in a gaming machine in which a plurality of so-called first type pachinko gaming machines are combined. In a modified example, it may be realized in a configuration corresponding to a single first type pachinko game instead of a combined game.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the determination result of both the first lottery and the second lottery is transmitted from the main board 102 to the sub-board 104 as the prior determination result has been described. As a modification, a configuration may be adopted in which only the success / failure determination result of either the first lottery or the second lottery is transmitted from the main board 102 to the sub-board 104 as a prior determination result.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the determination of success / failure, symbol determination, and variation pattern determination in the first lottery and the second lottery is performed by acquiring separate lottery values has been described. As a modification, it is possible to use a single lottery value to process all of the success / failure determination, symbol determination, and variation pattern determination in the first lottery and the second lottery. In addition, separate lottery values may be used to determine whether or not the jackpot is accompanied by a probable change or a short time.

  In the above-described embodiment, the information indicating the result of the first lottery or the second lottery and the information on the number of holdings are provided together with the values indicating the success / failure range, the symbol range, and the pattern range as the prior determination results. The example of transmitting from the substrate 102 to the sub-substrate 104 has been described. In a modification, it is good also as a structure which transmits these information separately, without transmitting at once.

  In the above-described embodiment, the determination table and the preliminary determination table, the symbol determination table and the preliminary symbol determination table, the variation pattern table and the preliminary pattern determination table, and each table so that the ranges of the lottery values match between these tables. Explained the example where is defined. In the modified example, each table is set in such a way that the result of the pre-judgment does not necessarily coincide with the result of the main judgment, but the degree of coincidence is high with a high probability, for example, by gradually shifting the range of the lottery value. May be. Thus, for example, the special effect setting is performed when the determination result that is a hit is transmitted with a high probability without separating the determination of the special effect setting between the case where the determination result is a win and the case where the result is a failure. You can also. In this way, by providing a certain degree of uncertainty with respect to the prior determination result, it is possible to reduce the adjustment of the processing based on whether or not the sub-board 104 receives the information, and the processing load can be reduced.

  In the small hit game of the first embodiment, as the opening mode pattern of the first big winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92, from about a plurality of patterns in which opening for about 0.4 seconds is executed 1 to 3 times. An example has been described in which one is determined in accordance with the opening mode pattern in the special game. In addition, in the small hit game of the second embodiment, the example in which the opening mode pattern of the first big winning opening 91 or the second big winning opening 92 is limited to one opening for about 1.8 seconds has been described. As a first modification to these, as the configuration in which the number of times of opening the first big winning port 91 or the second big winning port 92 in each small hit game is gradually changed while the small hit game is continuously repeated. Also good. For example, as the number of consecutive executions of the small hit game increases, the number of times of opening the first grand prize port 91 or the second big prize port 92 may be increased stepwise. As a 2nd modification, it is good also as a structure which determines any pattern according to a symbol determination result from the multiple types of opening mode pattern in a small hit game. For example, as the symbol when the result of winning / failing lottery corresponds to a small win, one of “0”, “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” is determined as shown in FIG. It is good also as a structure by which the opening mode pattern of a small hit game is determined according to the kind of these symbols.
