Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine.

  In a pachinko gaming machine that performs a jackpot lottery with random numbers when winning at the first starting port, and a jackpot lottery with bonuses when winning at the second starting port, usually a jackpot lottery is performed based on the winning at the first starting port, When the time is short after the jackpot lottery, it is possible to win a prize at the second starting port, and the game has a game where the jackpot lottery is performed by a bonus. A jackpot lottery with a role is more likely to be a jackpot than a jackpot lottery with random numbers, and since the next jackpot will be won as soon as the time is short, it has been devised to increase the interest of the player (patent Reference 1).

  The pachinko gaming machine is configured such that when the release condition based on the winning at the first starting port in the time-saving state is satisfied, the time-shorting state ends. However, in recent years, in the market, the first winning at the first starting port is first made. If you win a jackpot based on this, you will be in a short-time state or lottery after the jackpot, and if you are in a short-time state, you will continue the short-time state until a predetermined number of jackpots are executed A machine has also been introduced. In this pachinko machine, once it enters the short-time state, it enters the continuous mode, and the next jackpot can be won immediately by the jackpot lottery with an accessory, and a predetermined number of jackpot executions are promised.

Then, the ball 20 repeatedly moves left and right on the stage, and flows down from the opening 25 to the lower part of the game area 3a.

  The passing gate 11 is a gate without a prize ball, and when the ball 20 is passed through the passing gate 11, a usual lottery process is performed. In the common figure display section 16, symbol variation (LED blinking operation) is performed based on the lottery result of the ordinary figure, and if it is lit and displayed after a predetermined time has passed, it becomes a hit. 13a and 13a are opened for a predetermined time. If a lottery process for a new symbol is performed while the symbol is changing or during the opening operation of the second start port 13, the lottery result is temporarily stored in the diagram reserved storage area 113k (see FIG. 3) on the RAM 113. (Pending), and the general drawing hold display unit 17 lights up according to the number of lottery results of the general drawing that can hold up to four. When the previous symbol variation or release operation ends, the regular symbol display unit 16 starts a new symbol variation based on the reserved lottery result of the regular symbol.

  When the ball 20 wins the first start port 19, the lottery process of the first special figure is performed. The first special figure display unit 51 performs symbol fluctuation (LED blinking operation) based on the lottery result of the first special figure, and lights up with a lighting pattern based on the lottery result after a predetermined time has elapsed and displays a stopped symbol. To do. When a lottery process for a new first special figure is performed during symbol variation or jackpot processing of the special figure, the lottery result is temporarily stored in the first special figure reservation storage area 113c (see FIG. 3) on the RAM 113 (reserved) The first special figure hold display unit 9a lights up and displays according to the lottery result of the first special figure that can hold up to four.

  The second start port 13 is configured as a variable winning device called a so-called electric chew having a pair of rotating blade pieces 13a and 13a at the opening. When the rotary blades 13a, 13a are closed, the second start port 13 prevents the ball 20 from winning the ball 20, and when the hit display is made on the normal display unit 16, the second start port 13 rotates. The wing pieces 13a and 13a are opened for a predetermined time to make it easier to win the ball 20 flowing down the game area 3a. In addition, when the ball 20 wins the second start opening 13, the lottery process of the second special drawing is performed. The second special figure display unit 52 performs symbol fluctuation (LED blinking operation) based on the lottery result of the second special figure, and lights up with a lighting pattern based on the lottery result after a predetermined period of time and displays a stopped symbol. To do. If a lottery process for a new second special figure is performed during symbol variation or jackpot processing of the special figure, the lottery result is temporarily stored in the second special figure reservation storage area 113d (see FIG. 3) on the RAM 113 (reserved) The special figure hold display section 9b lights up and displays according to the lottery result of the second special figure that can hold up to four.

  In the liquid crystal display device 8, symbol variation is performed in conjunction with the variation display of the special diagram performed by the first special diagram display unit 51 or the second special diagram display unit 52. Specifically, the three-digit symbols start to fluctuate at the same time, stop after a predetermined time has elapsed, and if three identical numbers are lined up, the jackpot is processed. Whether the symbol variation is performed based on the lottery result of the first special figure or the second special figure will be described in detail later.

  The first big prize device 14 is a variable prize device called a so-called attacker, and is composed of an opening and a lid member, and is switched between a closed state and an open state of the opening as the lid member moves. When the first big winning device 14 wins a big win in the first special drawing or the second special drawing, it is a single big hit process, for example, until 10 pieces are won or it is closed after 30 seconds. Processing is continued for 15 rounds with 1 round of processing.

  The second grand prize winning device 41 is configured to include an openable / closable lid portion 41 a, a passage 42, and a sorting device 43 provided on the left side of the central accessory 10. When the second big prize winning device 41 wins a small hit (details will be described later) in the lottery of the second special drawing, the lid portion 41a is opened for 1.5 seconds, and the ball 20 passes through the passage 42 and the ball 20 is distributed. Making it easy to flow down. When the ball 20 flows down to the V winning opening 44 in the distribution device 43, the above-mentioned big hit state is obtained. On the other hand, when the ball 20 flows down to the lost winning opening 45, the big hit state is not achieved.

  In addition, after the winning of the ball 20 to the second big winning device 41 is detected by the second big winning detector 164, the winning of the ball 20 is detected by the V winning detector 171 or the lose prize detector 172 within a predetermined time. Otherwise, the winning is invalid. The second grand prize device 41 corresponds to the big prize device of the present invention.

  The ball discharge port 15 is opened at the lowermost part of the game board 3 and discharges the balls that have finished flowing down on the board surface of the game board 3 (game area 3a) to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

And a circuit board group such as a payout control board (not shown) on which a payout control circuit 140 for controlling the payout device 141 is mounted.

  In addition, each board | substrate with which each circuit which controls the pachinko game machine 1 is mounted is arrange | positioned at the back side of the pachinko game machine 1, for example, the display control board with which the display control circuit 130 is mounted is the liquid crystal display device 8. It is arranged on the back side.

  Further, the main circuit 110 includes a gate passage detector 161 provided adjacent to the passage gate 11, a first start winning detector 169 provided adjacent to the first start port 19, and a second start port 13 provided adjacent to the second start port 13. 2 start winning detector 162, first grand prize detector 163 provided in the first grand prize device 14, second grand prize detector 164 provided in the second grand prize device 41, and electric Chu An electric Chu solenoid 166 for opening and closing the movable wing pieces 13a, 13a of the second start port 13, a first big winning solenoid 167 for opening and closing the first big winning device 14, and a lid 41a of the second big winning device 41 are opened and closed. The second grand prize solenoid 173 is connected to detectors and actuators such as a V prize detector 171 and a lose prize detector 172 provided in the distribution device 43.

  The main circuit 110 is connected to a power supply circuit 168 that supplies a predetermined voltage to various display units, control board groups, detectors, actuators, and the like.

  The main circuit 110 includes a CPU 111, a ROM 112 for storing a control program (not shown), a RAM 113 to which a work area and various counters (for example, a random number counter for special maps, a special-purpose random number counter) and the like are assigned, I / O (Input / Output) / Output: input / output circuit) 114 and the like. Various functions as a pachinko gaming machine are realized by the CPU 111 executing the control program. The main circuit 110 corresponds to the winning state control means, the first lottery means, the second lottery means, the game control means, and the standby lottery means of the present invention. In general, each circuit on each of the other substrates is also provided with a CPU and a memory, but is omitted in FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the contents stored in the RAM 113. The RAM 113 stores a timer and a counter for managing time such as jackpot and special figure fluctuation. In the RAM 113, for example, the special figure random number counter 113a, the universal figure random number counter 113b, the first special figure reservation storage area 113c for temporarily storing (holding) the first special figure lottery result, and the second special figure lottery result are temporarily stored. A second special figure holding storage area 113d for storing (holding), a general figure holding storage area 113k for temporarily storing (holding) a general drawing lottery result, a continuous number storage area 113e, a continuous number storage area 113f, and a state flag storage area 113j. include.

  The number of consecutive times indicates how many times the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game will be set to the short-time state. When winning a jackpot with consecutive chunks in the hit determination of the special figure, the number of consecutive times set in advance 4 (described later) is added, and thereafter, every time the jackpot ends, the time is decremented. When the value of the number of consecutive times is 0 at the end of the jackpot, after the jackpot state ends, the normal state is entered without decrementing the number of consecutive times.

  The state flag indicates a gaming state on the game board 3, and a value corresponding to a change in the gaming state (normal state: 0, jackpot state: 1, short time state: 2) is set. At the start of the control program, the status flag is initialized to 0 (normal status). The short time state (2) corresponds to the high winning state of the present invention, and the normal state (0) corresponds to the low winning state.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the sub control circuit 120 outputs sound from the speaker 4 through the amplifier 40 in accordance with a control command input from the main circuit 110, and controls lighting / extinguishing of the decorative lamps 5.

  The payout control circuit 140 controls the payout device 141 according to the prize ball payout signal input from the main circuit 110 and causes the upper plate 31 to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls.

  The firing control circuit 150 activates the launching device 151 in accordance with the rotation operation of the launch handle 7 by the player. According to the rotation operation amount of the firing handle 7, it is possible to adjust the ball firing strength (ball flight distance) by the launching device 151. The ball that is fired stronger than the launcher 151 is released to the game area 3a formed on the game board 3 and flows down to the right side of the central actor 10 by its own weight, and the ball launched weaker than the launcher 151 is The left side of the accessory 10 flows down by its own weight.

  Next, an outline of the flow of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (change of the game state on the game board 3) will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention includes a short time state in which the winning state for the electric chew 13 is set relatively high by the winning state control means and a normal state set in a relatively low state. .

  In the normal state, when the ball 20 enters the passing gate 11 and is detected by the gate passing detector 161, the main circuit 110 determines that the usual drawing wins lottery (the ordinary drawing is held) if the number of holdings of the usual drawing is three or less. The value is extracted from the figure random number counter), and the lottery result is stored in the general figure reservation storage area 113k (see FIG. 3) on the RAM 113 as a general figure reservation. When it is possible to start a new map change (when the map is not changing and the electric tuner 13 is not in operation), if the map hold is stored in the map hold storage area 113k, the oldest Read the usual map hold and make a hit judgment. For example, in the normal state, it is compared with the winning value in the normal figure determination table (normal figure winning probability: 1/100) for the normal state. Thus, the opening condition of the electric chew 13 is established. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the usual figure change (LED blinking of the usual figure display unit 16) is started (ordinary figure change time: 5 to 60 seconds).

  If the result of the hit determination is normal, the LED of the general-purpose display unit 16 is turned on, and the electric chew solenoid 166 is excited to open the rotary blade pieces 13a and 13a to open a predetermined release period ( Opening time: 0.1 second) The electric chew 13 is made open easily for winning. After the elapse of a predetermined opening period, the electric chew 13 (rotating blade pieces 13a, 13a) is closed. When the result of the hit determination is a loss, the LED of the general-purpose display unit 16 is turned off and the display is confirmed.

  In addition, when the passing of a ball is detected during normal fluctuation or during operation of the electric Chu 13, a lottery result is stored in the normal figure holding storage area 113k up to a predetermined upper limit number (four), and a new one is stored. When starting the normal fluctuation, a determination is made based on the game state (normal state or short time state) at that time, and the fluctuation time is determined to start the fluctuation.

  When the ball 20 wins the first starting opening 19 and is detected by the first starting winning detector 169, a predetermined number of prize balls (for example, three per winning prize) are paid out to determine whether the starting condition is satisfied. If the number of first special figure reservations stored in the first special figure reservation storage area 113c (see FIG. 3) on the RAM 113 is three or less, it is determined that the start condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the starting condition is satisfied, the value of the special figure random number counter 113a on the RAM 113 at that time is extracted and stored in the first special figure holding storage area 113c on the RAM 113 as the first special figure holding. Then, the stored first special figure hold is read out in the order in which it is stored, and the determination is made using the first special figure normal determination table (see FIG. 4A) read from the ROM 112 and developed on the RAM 113. . The process of extracting the value of the special figure random number counter 113a and determining whether or not it is true in the first special figure normal (or short time) determination table corresponds to the lottery process based on winning in the first starting port 19. Based on the result of the determination, the first special figure display unit 51 starts the variable display of the first special figure.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in the first special figure normal determination table, for example, the winning value is defined as 0-9. Further, the value of the special figure random number counter 113a varies between 0 and 3999. Therefore, the jackpot probability (first special figure winning probability) in the first special figure determination is 1/400. Further, whether or not to shift to the continuous change mode is determined according to the winning value. For example, when the winning value is 0 to 4, the continuous change mode is set after the big hit, and the short-time state occurs four times after the big hit ends. On the other hand, when the winning value is 5-9, the continuous change mode is not entered, and the normal state is restored after the big hit. That is, the continuous rush rate is ½. If you win a jackpot with consecutive chanting, set 4 to the number of consecutive times. Also, if the value of the continuous number storage area 113e on the RAM 113 is other than 0 when the jackpot game ends. 1 is subtracted from the value of the continuous number of times storage area 113e, and the time is shortened.

  As described above, in the normal state, the probability of winning the ordinary figure is low, the fluctuation time of the ordinary figure is long, and even when the ordinary figure is hit, the opening time of the electric chew 13 is short, so almost the second starting port (ie, No ball will win the electric Chu 13).

  On the other hand, in the short-time state, the probability of winning a normal figure is high (the probability of winning a normal figure: 99/100), the fluctuation time of the normal figure is shortened to 1 second, and the opening time of the rotary wing pieces 13a, 13a is increased. Since it is (1.5 seconds × 3 times), it becomes easy to win the second start port 13.

  In the short-time state, whether or not the first special figure is determined is determined using the first special figure time-short determination table (see FIG. 4B). As shown in FIG. 4B, in the first special figure time reduction determination table, for example, the winning value is defined as 0 to 49. Further, the value of the special figure random number counter 113a varies between 0 and 3999. Therefore, the jackpot probability (first special figure winning probability) in the first special figure determination is 1/80. In addition, depending on the winning value, whether or not to wait for the jackpot game based on the winning value until the end of the continuous game mode is determined, and further whether to shift to the continuous mode after executing the jackpot game after waiting. It has been established. For example, when the winning value is 25 to 49, the jackpot game is executed without waiting. Even after the big hit game in the short-time state is ended, the subsequent game state is set to either the normal state or the short-time state based on the value of the continuous number storage area 113e on the RAM 113.

  When the ball 20 wins the electric chew (that is, the second starting port) 13 and is detected by the second starting winning detector 162, a predetermined number of winning balls (for example, three per winning) are paid out and the starting condition is satisfied. Determine. If the number of second special figure reservations stored in the second special figure reservation storage area 113d (see FIG. 3) on the RAM 113 is three or less, it is determined that the starting condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the starting condition is satisfied, the value of the special figure random number counter 113a at that time is extracted and stored in the second special figure holding storage area 113d as the second special figure holding. Then, the second special figure hold is read in the stored order, and whether or not it is determined is determined using a second special figure determination table (see FIG. 5) read from the ROM 112 and developed on the RAM 113. Based on the determination result, the second special figure display unit 52 starts to display the fluctuation of the second special figure.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the second special figure determination table, for example, the winning value that is a big hit is set to 0-9. Further, the value of the special figure random number counter 113a varies between 0 and 3999. Therefore, the jackpot probability (second special figure winning probability) in the second special figure determination is 1/400. On the other hand, when it is not a big win (probability: 399/400), it is a small win, and the lid 41a of the second big prize winning device 41 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds). Then, when a ball that has won the second big winning device 41 during the small win wins the V winning opening 44 (V winning), it is a big win. It should be noted that the value of the special figure random number counter 113a is extracted to determine whether or not there is a win in the second special figure determination table. The process up to this corresponds to the lottery process based on the winning at the second starting port. In addition, after any jackpot is ended, the normal state or the time reduction state is set based on the value of the continuous number storage area 113e on the RAM 113.

  Next, the display operation in the liquid crystal display device 8 will be described. In the normal state, the special figure fluctuation display on the second special figure display unit 52 is hardly performed. Therefore, the liquid crystal display device 8 is interlocked with the special figure fluctuation display on the first special figure display unit 51. It is configured to perform variable display of symbols. Specifically, when the first special figure display unit 51 starts the variable display of the special figure, the display control circuit 130 that has received the display control command from the main circuit 110 via the sub control circuit 120 receives the received display. In accordance with the instruction of the control command, the liquid crystal display device 8 starts the variable display of symbols.

  The fluctuation time of the special figure is 5 to 120 seconds in the normal state and 1 to 10 seconds in the short time state in both the first special figure and the second special figure. Further, in the short-time state, the main game is the small game based on the winning at the second start port 13, and the next big game is started immediately. In view of this, the liquid crystal display device 8 performs mainly the effect display that connects the jackpots, and displays the variation display of the symbols only when the first special chart or the second special chart is a jackpot. Various display patterns are prepared, such as jackpot and waiting.

  When performing the variation display of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 8, the effect display is performed according to the variation pattern instructed by the display control command, and the three-digit symbol is variably displayed over a predetermined variation time, and when the predetermined variation time has elapsed, The stop symbols instructed in the order of left → right → middle are fixedly displayed (stop display). For example, if the determination result in the special figure determination is a jackpot, a three-digit jackpot symbol such as “777” is confirmed and displayed, and if the determination result is lost, a three-digit jackpot symbol (for example, “357” etc. ) Is confirmed. At this time, the variable display of the first special figure display unit 51 or the second special figure display unit 52 is also stopped, and the symbols determined according to the determination result are stopped and displayed.

  Next, the operation by the game control means in the big hit state will be described. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display unit 51 or the second special symbol display unit 52, the jackpot symbol is also stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 8, and the game control means plays the jackpot game. Execute. First, the first grand prize winning device 14 is opened by exciting the first big prize solenoid 167, resulting in a situation where balls are very easy to enter. After the first grand prize winning device 14 is opened, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning prize detection by the first grand prize winning detector 163 or the passage of a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) is regarded as one round, and the first grand prize winning device 14 is determined. The solenoid 167 is closed by de-energizing. Since one big hit state is repeated up to a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times), the player can obtain a large number of winning balls (for example, 15 pieces per winning) during the big hit state. Note that even when a winning to the V winning opening 44 is detected after the small winning symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display unit 52, the fact that the big winning is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 8 is displayed. The means executes the jackpot game described above.

  As described above, in the short-time state, the winning rate for the electric chew 13 is increased, and the lottery of the second special drawing is frequently performed. In the second special figure, since a small win is won with high probability, the second big winning device is also frequently released. The ball that has entered the second grand prize winning device 41 is led to the sorting device 43, and if it wins the V winning prize port 44, it is a big hit. Each short-time state is set to end when a new jackpot occurs or the total number of changes in both the first and second special figures reaches 100, but the player is left on the game area 3a. Since it is configured to win V if the second big winning device 41 is released several times, it is unlikely that it will change 100 times in the short time state and return to the normal state. A jackpot is promised.

  In the second special figure, a jackpot lottery is also performed. When the jackpot is won, the jackpot symbol is displayed without opening the second jackpot device and the above jackpot game is started.

  In the short-time state, the jackpot probability of the first special figure is increased (1/80), and the first special figure and the second special figure can fluctuate in parallel. There is a possibility of winning a jackpot with one special figure. When the first special figure wins the jackpot, it is determined whether to wait for the jackpot until the continuous mode ends. When it is determined that the standby is performed with a probability of 1/2, the display waits without starting the variable display until the continuous mode ends and becomes a normal state. When the waiting 1st special figure becomes a big hit in a normal state, it becomes a continuous change mode again with a probability of 3/5. On the other hand, when it is determined not to wait, the jackpot symbol is displayed and the jackpot game is started.

  After entering the continuous mode, there is the highest probability of winning a jackpot via the jackpot in the second special figure, but there are cases where any special figure will win a big jackpot directly, including all jackpots. When the jackpot game is executed, the continuous mode is ended and the normal state is obtained.

  If the first special figure that is a big hit is waiting when the continuous chung mode ends, the fluctuation display of the first special figure is performed, the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, and the big hit game is executed (again, the continuous chung mode) Possible).

  Hereinafter, the process performed in the main circuit 110 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. These processes are repeatedly executed at a predetermined timing. First, the first start winning process will be described with reference to FIG. When the first start winning detector 169 provided alongside the first start port 19 detects the passage of the ball 20, a detection signal is transmitted to the main circuit 110. When the main circuit 110 receives the detection signal from the first start winning detector 169 (S11: YES), the main circuit 110 pays out three balls as a winning ball (S12). At this time, the main circuit 110 outputs a prize ball payout signal to the payout control circuit 140 and instructs the upper plate 31 from the payout device 141 to pay out the predetermined number of prize balls.

  Subsequently, the main circuit 110 refers to the first special figure reservation storage area 113c on the RAM 113 and determines whether or not the number of the first special figure reservation has reached four (S13).

  If it is determined that the number of first special figure hold is less than 4 (S13: YES), the main circuit 110 extracts the current value from the special figure random number counter 113a on the RAM 113. Then, the extracted counter value is stored in the first special figure reservation area 113c on the RAM 113 as the first special figure reservation (S14).

  Finally, the main circuit 110 lights one LED (hold lamp) of the first special figure hold display section 9a anew (for example, in order from the left) (S15). Then, this process ends.

  When no detection signal is received from the first start winning detector 169 (S11: NO), this process is immediately terminated. Also, when the number of first special figure hold has reached four (S13: NO), this process is immediately terminated.

  Next, the second start winning process will be described with reference to FIG. When the second start winning detector 162 provided along with the electric chew (second start port) 13 detects the passage of the ball 20, a detection signal is transmitted to the main circuit 110. When the main circuit 110 receives the detection signal from the second start winning detector 162 (S31: YES), the main circuit 110 pays out three balls as prize balls (S32). At this time, the main circuit 110 outputs a prize ball payout signal to the payout control circuit 140 and instructs the upper plate 31 from the payout device 141 to pay out the predetermined number of prize balls.

  Subsequently, the main circuit 110 refers to the second special figure reservation storage area 113d on the RAM 113, and determines whether or not the number of second special figure reservations has reached four (S33).

  If it is determined that the number of second special figure hold is less than 4 (S33: YES), the main circuit 110 extracts the current value from the special figure random number counter 113a on the RAM 113. Then, the extracted counter value is stored in the second special figure holding area 113d on the RAM 113 as the second special figure holding (S34).

  Finally, the main circuit 110 newly lights one LED (hold lamp) of the second special figure hold display section 9b (for example, in order from the left) (S35). Then, this process ends.

  When no detection signal is received from the second start winning detector 162 (S31: NO), this process is immediately terminated. Also, when the number of second special figure hold has reached four (S33: NO), this process is immediately terminated.

  The first special figure variation pre-process will be described with reference to FIG. First, the main circuit 110 refers to the first special figure hold storage area 113c on the RAM 113 and determines whether or not the first special figure hold is stored (S51).

  When determining that the first special figure hold is stored (S51: YES), the main circuit 110 refers to the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113 and determines whether or not the gaming state is the jackpot state (1). Determine (S52). When the main circuit 110 determines that the gaming state is not the big hit state (S52: YES), the main circuit 110 determines whether or not the symbol of the first special figure is stopped (S53).

  For fluctuation / stop of the first special figure (symbol), refer to the first special figure fluctuation timer (not shown) on the RAM 113, and when the timer is stopped, it is determined that the special figure is stopped. Alternatively, it may be stored in the RAM 113 as flag information and determined from the stored contents.

  When determining that the first special figure is stopped (S53: YES), the main circuit 110 reads the oldest first special figure hold from the first special figure hold storage area 113c on the RAM 113 (S54). Subsequently, the LED (holding lamp) lighting state of the first special figure hold display portion 9a corresponding to the read special figure hold is changed (S55). That is, the display state of the four LEDs is shifted one by one to the left, and the rightmost LED is turned off.

  Then, the winning value of the first special figure determination table (normal or short time) corresponding to the current gaming state is compared with the read value of the first special figure hold, and the determination is made (S56). If the read value of the first special figure hold matches the hit value of the corresponding first special figure determination table, it is determined to be a win. Subsequently, based on the determination result (lottery result), the variation time of the first special figure, the content to be displayed and the variation pattern (such as presence / absence of character display and reach effect), and the stop symbol are determined (S57).

  Next, with reference to the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the time reduction state (2) (S58). When the main circuit 110 determines that the gaming state is the short-time state (S58: YES), the main circuit 110 refers to the determination result described above, and determines whether or not to wait for the big hit until the continuous mode ends. (S59).

  When the main circuit 110 determines to wait for the jackpot until the continuous mode is completed (S59: YES), the main circuit 110 waits until the gaming state becomes the normal state (0) (S60). Specifically, this process is once ended and then executed again, and this process is repeated until the gaming state becomes the normal state.

  When the gaming state becomes the normal state (S60: YES), when it is determined that the gaming state is not the short-time state (S58: NO), or when it is determined not to wait for the jackpot until the continuous mode is completed (S59: NO), the main circuit 110 executes the special figure variation process based on the production contents and the stop symbol (see S61, FIG. 10), and then ends this process.

  When it is determined that the first special figure hold is not stored (S51: NO), when it is determined that the gaming state is a big hit state (S52: NO), or the symbol of the first special figure is stopped. If it is determined that this is not the case (S53: NO), this processing is immediately terminated.

  The second special figure variation pre-processing will be described with reference to FIG. First, the main circuit 110 refers to the second special figure hold storage area 113d on the RAM 113, and determines whether or not the second special figure hold is stored (S71).

  When determining that the second special figure hold is stored (S71: YES), the main circuit 110 refers to the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113 and determines whether or not the gaming state is the jackpot state (1). Determine (S72). When the main circuit 110 determines that the gaming state is not the big hit state (S72: YES), the main circuit 110 determines whether or not the symbol of the second special figure is stopped (S73).

  The fluctuation / stop of the second special figure (symbol) is determined by referring to a second special figure fluctuation timer (not shown) on the RAM 113, and when the timer is stopped, the special figure is determined to be stopped. Alternatively, it may be stored in the RAM 113 as flag information and determined from the stored contents.

  When determining that the second special figure is stopped (S73: YES), the main circuit 110 reads the oldest second special figure hold from the second special figure hold storage area 113d on the RAM 113 (S74). Subsequently, the LED (holding lamp) lighting state of the second special figure hold display portion 9b corresponding to the read special figure hold is changed (S75). That is, the display state of the four LEDs is shifted one by one to the left, and the rightmost LED is turned off.

  Then, the winning value of the second special figure determination table is compared with the read second special figure holding value to determine whether or not it is correct (S76). If the read value of the second special figure hold is coincident with the winning value of the second special figure determination table, it is determined to be a winning. Subsequently, based on the determination result (lottery result), the fluctuation time of the second special figure, the content to be displayed and the fluctuation pattern (such as presence / absence of character display and reach effect), and the stop symbol are determined (S77).

  Finally, the main circuit 110 executes a special figure variation process based on the effect contents and the stop symbol (see S78, FIG. 10), and then ends this process.

  When it is determined that the second special figure hold is not stored (S71: NO), when it is determined that the gaming state is a big hit state (S72: NO), or the symbol of the second special figure is stopped. If it is determined that it is not (S73: NO), this process is immediately terminated.

  The special figure variation process corresponding to step S61 in FIG. 8 and step S78 in FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the main circuit 110 starts to display the variation of the special figure in the corresponding special figure display part (first special figure: first special figure display part 51, second special figure: second special figure display part 52) ( S91). At this time, the counting of a special figure variation timer (not shown) on the RAM 113 is started, and the sub control circuit 120 is instructed to start the variation of the symbols in the liquid crystal display device 8. Specifically, a display control command for instructing the effect contents and the stop symbol is transmitted to the display control circuit 130 via the sub control circuit 120, and the display control circuit 130 displays the liquid crystal display according to the received display control command. The apparatus 8 starts displaying the variation of symbols.

  When the special figure variation time determined in step S57 of FIG. 8 or step S77 of FIG. 9 has elapsed (S92: YES), the main circuit 110 stops the fluctuation of the special figure in the corresponding special figure display unit (S93). . At this time, the count of a special symbol variation timer (not shown) on the RAM 113 is stopped and reset, and the sub control circuit 120 is instructed to stop the symbol variation in the liquid crystal display device 8. Specifically, a display control command that instructs the display control circuit 130 to stop changing is transmitted via the sub-control circuit 120, and the display control circuit 130 in the liquid crystal display device 8 according to the received display control command. Stops the special symbol variation and displays the previously designated stop symbol. For example, when the special figure lottery result is a big hit, a big hit symbol (an odd number of doubles such as “777”) is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 8. When the special figure lottery result is lost, a lost symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 8.

  Finally, the main circuit 110 executes the post-variation stop process (S94, see FIG. 11), and then ends this process.

  The post-variation stop process corresponding to step S94 in FIG. 10 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the main circuit 110 refers to the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113, and determines whether or not the gaming state is the time saving state (2) (S111).

  When the main circuit 110 determines that the gaming state is the short-time state (S111: YES), the main circuit 110 subtracts 1 from the value of the continuous count storage area 113f on the RAM 113 (S112). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the continuation count storage area 113f after subtraction is 0. When the value is 0 (S113: YES), the gaming state is set to the normal state (0) (S114). Thereafter, a small hit determination is performed (S115, described later).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the gaming state is not the short-time state (S111: NO), the small hit determination is immediately performed (S115, described later).

  In step S115, the main circuit 110 determines whether or not the lottery result corresponding to the second special figure hold executed in step S76 of FIG.

  When it is determined that the lottery result is a small hit (S115: YES), the main circuit 110 excites the second big prize solenoid 173 to open the lid 41a of the second big prize device 41 (S116). . Thereby, the winning of the ball to the second large winning device 41 becomes possible.

  When the predetermined opening time of 1.5 seconds elapses (S117: YES), the main circuit 110 closes the lid 41a of the second grand prize winning device 14 by de-energizing the second big prize winning solenoid 173. (S118). Thereby, it becomes impossible to win a ball to the second large winning device 41.

  Next, the main circuit 110 wins the ball that has won the second grand prize winning device 41 to the V prize winning port 44 within the predetermined time as described above (including the delay time after the second big prize winning device 41 is closed). It is determined whether or not (S119). The winning in the V winning opening 44 is detected by the V winning detector 171. When the main circuit 110 detects winning in the V winning opening 44 (S119: YES), the main circuit 110 refers to the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113 and sets the gaming state to the jackpot state (1) (S120). Thereafter, this process is terminated. On the other hand, when no winning at the V winning opening 44 is detected (S119: NO), this process is immediately terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the lottery result is not a small hit (S115: NO), the main circuit 110 performs the lottery result corresponding to the first special figure hold executed in step S56 in FIG. 8 or in step S76 in FIG. It is determined whether or not the lottery result corresponding to the executed second special figure hold is a big hit (S121). When it is determined that the lottery result is not a big hit (S121: NO), this process is immediately terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the lottery result is a big hit (S121: YES), the main circuit 110 refers to the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113 and determines whether or not the gaming state is the normal state (0). (S122). When it is determined that the gaming state is the normal state (S122: YES), the main circuit 110 determines whether or not to shift to the continuous mode after the jackpot is ended (S123).

  When it is determined to shift to the continuous channel mode after the end of the big hit (S123: YES), the main circuit 110 sets 4 (the number of continuous channels) to the value of the continuous number storage area 113e on the RAM 113 (S124). Thereafter, the gaming state is set to the jackpot state (1) (S120), and this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the gaming state is not the normal state (S122: NO), or when it is determined not to shift to the continuous mode after the big hit (S123: NO), the main circuit 110 changes the gaming state to the big hit state (1 (S120), and this process is terminated.

  A jackpot process executed when the lottery result is a jackpot will be described with reference to FIG. First, the main circuit 110 determines whether or not the gaming state of the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113 is a jackpot state (1) (S131). And if it is not a big hit state (S131: NO), this processing will be ended.

  On the other hand, if it is a big win state (S131: YES), the main circuit 110 adds 1 to the number of rounds stored in the RAM 113 (S132), and excites the first big winning solenoid 167 to thereby increase the first big prize. The winning device 14 is opened (S133). Thereby, the winning of the ball to the first big winning device 14 becomes possible.

  Then, whether or not 10 balls, which are the number of balls that can be won in one round, win the first grand prize winning device 14 (S134: YES), or the maximum opening of one round after the first big prize winning device 14 becomes open. When either 30 seconds as the time has elapsed (S135: YES) is satisfied, the main circuit 110 closes the first big prize device 14 by de-energizing the first big prize solenoid 167. (S136). Thereby, it becomes impossible to win a ball to the first big winning device 14.

  Then, when the number of rounds is less than 15 which is the maximum number of rounds (S137: NO), this process is once ended and then executed again, and this process is repeated until the number of rounds becomes 15. On the other hand, when the number of rounds reaches 15, which is the maximum number of rounds (S137: YES), the main circuit 110 resets the number of rounds to the initial value 0 (S138).

  Next, the main circuit 110 determines whether or not the continuous number (continuous number of times), which is the value of the continuous number storage area 113e on the RAM 113, is 0 (S139). When it is determined that the number of consecutive times is not 0 (S139: YES), the main circuit 110 sets the gaming state of the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113 to the time-shortened state (2) (S140) and decreases the value of the number of consecutive times by 1. (S141). Finally, 100 is set to the value of the continuous count storage area 113f on the RAM 113 (S142), and this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of consecutive times is 0 (S139: NO), the gaming state in the state flag storage area 113j on the RAM 113 is set to the normal state (0) (S143), and this process is terminated.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment sets the opening frequency and the opening period of the opening condition of the electric chew 13 in each gaming state, so that the first starting is performed more than the second starting port 13 in the normal state. The probability of winning the jackpot based on the winning of the mouth 19 (the ratio of winning the jackpot with respect to the number of balls hit into the game area 3a) is higher, and the second starting port than the first starting port 19 in the short time state. The probability of winning the jackpot based on winning 13 is set to be higher.

  In the normal state, a lottery process with a jackpot winning probability of 1/400 is performed based on the winning at the first starting port 19, and if the jackpot is won, the game will be in a short time after the jackpot game with a probability of 1/2. In the short-time state, a lottery process with a real jackpot winning probability of 1/10 is performed based on the winning at the second starting port 13, immediately winning the next jackpot, and the short-time state after the end of the jackpot game. After the first jackpot game is played five times with four short-time states, the game returns to the normal state. The period from the first short-term entry to the winning of the fifth consecutive big hit is called continuous mode.

  Based on this gameplay, if you win a jackpot in the lottery process with a jackpot winning probability of 1/80 based on the winning to the first starting port 19 during the chain mode, A lottery is performed to wait until the continuous mode ends and the normal state is reached. If not waiting, the jackpot game will be played immediately and counted as one of five consecutive big wins in the continuous mode, but if waiting, the jackpot based on winning from the second starting port 13 thereafter Wait until the end of the continuous mode, and after the five consecutive big hit games are completed and return to the normal state, the standby big hit game will be played, so the six consecutive big hit games will be executed in a short time. Will be. Furthermore, after the sixth jackpot game is completed, the state becomes a short-time state (continuous channel mode) with a probability of 3/5. Therefore, when the continuous channel mode is entered again, ten consecutive big hit games are played in a short time. .

  In the above-described embodiment, various design values such as the setting of the jackpot probability and the continuous number of time-saving states can be appropriately changed. The number of rounds at the time of jackpot need not be the same, and may be divided into 5, 10 rounds depending on the design.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the first special figure is a big hit in the short-time state and the big hit is made to wait until the end of the continuous mode, the first special figure is made to wait without changing the first special figure. It is good also as a structure which does not stop and displays until it starts and the continuous mode ends.

  In the above-described embodiment, the second special figure and the common figure have a configuration having a hold, but each may have a configuration without a hold.

  In the above-described embodiment, the jackpot probability of the first special figure is increased in the short-time state, but the jackpot probability of the second special figure may be increased, or the jackpot probability of both special figures is not changed. In other words, it may be set as appropriate so as to improve game playability.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the normal state, when it is determined that the jackpot is won in the lottery process of the first special figure and it is determined that the consecutive change, the continuous number of times is fixed. You may make it distribute the number of times. By doing so, the range of playability can be expanded and the interest of the player can be further enhanced.

  In the above-described embodiment, a so-called first type (seven machine) and second type (feather) composite type pachinko gaming machine is taken as an example, but not limited to this, the first type and first type composite type. It can also be used in other pachinko machines. That is, any pachinko gaming machine that has a jackpot lottery with two types of special drawings may be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the winning probability of the normal figure, the variation time, and the opening time of the electric Chu at the time of winning the common figure are all set differently between the normal state and the short time state. Alternatively, one or both of the fluctuation times may be set to be the same in the normal state and the short time state. As a result, even if the ordinary figure is won, if the opening time of the electric chew in the normal state is extremely short, the electric chew can be hardly won in the normal state. Alternatively, by setting the probability of winning the jackpot of the second special figure to be low in the normal state, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the big jackpot frequently occurs in the normal state (a big hit via the small jackpot in the normal state frequently) If this happens, gameplay will change.)

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the knowledge of those skilled in the art can be used without departing from the spirit of the claims. Various modifications based on this are possible.
