Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine having novel game properties by differentiating game states after winning two lotteries which are executed on the basis of the entering of game balls in two start-operation holes. <P>SOLUTION: This game machine includes a first operation-start winning hole 55 and a second operation-start winning hole 51. The first start-operation winning hole 55 has a regular variable winning device 53 as an electric tulip which opens and closes. The first start-operation winning hole 55 is provided on the right side of a game board 1, while the second start-operation winning hole 51 is provided in the center of the game board 1. In a regular game state, no game ball enters the first start-operation winning hole 55, but a game ball can enter the second start-operation winning hole 51. However, when the game ball enters the second start-operation winning hole 51 to get a win, the game state is brought into either a first special winning control state or a second special winning control state and, after the game state is brought into the first special winning control state, a chance of opening the regular variable winning device 53 increases. Thereby, when a game ball enters the first operation-start winning hole 55 to get a win, the game state develops into a state where the win by the probability variation continues. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, a program, and a recording medium that are installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  In a pachinko machine called a so-called digipachi, in each of a plurality of display areas, a plurality of types of identification information (special symbols) are variably displayed so as to be switched, and then the identification information is stopped and displayed. Fluctuation display that generates a special winning control state that can win more game balls than the normal state when the combination of identification information stopped and displayed in each becomes a special combination set in advance A display device for displaying the game is provided.

Many pachinko gaming machines equipped with a large liquid crystal display device have been developed as the display device, and the display contents of the variable display game are characterized to enhance the interest of the player.
In addition, in order to make a variety of pachinko gaming machines, a game machine having a function as a so-called digipachi and a function as a so-called feather, and two variable display games in a digipachi can be performed in parallel. The game machine etc. which were made are developed (for example, refer patent document 1).

  In such a gaming machine, it is intended to provide a player with a new game through a combination of a variable display game and a game with feathers or a combination of two variable display games performed in parallel. The two variable display games here are not performed in parallel with the conventional special symbol variable display game and the normal symbol variable display game, but the special symbol variable display game. Two of them are performed in parallel, and a normal symbol variation display game may be performed.

JP 2003-62215 A

By the way, in the case where two variable display games are performed in parallel, the player pays attention to whether or not both of the two variable display games are hit, but the two variable display games are simply displayed in parallel. If the game is used only by playing the game, the gameplay is not changed so much as when each of the variable display games is viewed independently, and the player may get bored.
Therefore, it is necessary to link the two variable display games to create a new game, but at present, a gaming machine having a game characteristic greatly different from the conventional one using two variable display games has been developed. Absent.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. When a lottery is performed to determine whether or not each game ball is won independently based on the winning of each game ball at the two starting winning openings, Based on an increase in the chances of opening an ordinary winning device (electrical chew) provided only at the mouth and the state of advantageous game after the special winning control state based on the winning at one starting winning opening based on the winning at the other starting winning opening It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine, a program, and a recording medium having new gaming characteristics by combining the advantages of the advantageous game granting state after the special winning control state.

The invention according to claim 1 has a game board on which a game ball is launched, a grand prize opening provided on the game board and for winning the game ball, and a closed game ball cannot be awarded to the big prize opening. A special winning device that can be opened and closed between a state and an open state in which a game ball is likely to win a prize winning opening, and provided on the game board, and based on the winning of the game ball A plurality of start winning holes for providing a special lottery opportunity to generate a special winning control state that repeats opening and closing fluctuations of the special winning device, and a predetermined starting winning opening between the open state and the closed state. Fluctuating, in the open state, a normal winning device that makes it easy to win a game ball to the predetermined starting winning opening, and when the special lottery is given and wins, the special winning according to the winning mode Special winning system that generates control status In determining means, comprising a gaming machine,
The gaming machine is
A first advantageous game grant state in which the winning probability of the special lottery is higher than a normal state, and a second advantageous game grant state in which the chance of the normal winning device to be opened is increased from the normal state, The normal state is a state that is neither the special winning control state, the first advantageous game granting state, or the second advantageous game granting state,
The special winning control state generated from the state that is not the first advantageous game granting state is regarded as the first special winning control state occurrence, and thereafter, until the predetermined upper limit number of the special winning control state is generated. First advantageous game granting means for generating the first advantageous game grant state so that the normal state does not occur after completion of the generated special winning control state, and second advantage for generating the second advantageous game grant state Game grant means, a first win for generating the first advantageous game grant state after the end of the special prize control state, and the second advantage together with the first advantageous game grant state after the end of the special prize control state A special lottery means for performing the special lottery with a second winning for generating a game granting state,
The special prize control determining means is:
A first special prize control state in which the opening / closing fluctuation in the special prize device is controlled based on a first condition that defines the number of repetitions of the opening / closing fluctuation and an open state during the opening / closing fluctuation, and the opening / closing fluctuation in the special prize device. A second special winning control state in which at least one of the number of repetitions and the period of the opening / closing variation and a period is controlled based on a second condition that is less than the first condition, and
Opening / closing operation of the special winning device in the second special winning control state generated based on the first winning and opening / closing operation of the special winning device in the second special winning control state generated based on the second winning To generate the special winning control state with the same operation,
The special lottery means
When a game ball is won at the predetermined start winning opening, the special lottery is made in advance so as to include the first win, and the game ball wins at the start winning opening other than the predetermined starting winning opening. In this case, the special lottery is made in advance so as to include the first winning and the second winning, and the winning / losing special lottery is performed.

According to the present invention, when a special lottery based on the winning of a game ball at the start winning opening is made and the winning is made, the first advantageous game granting state for generating the first advantageous game granting state after the special winning control state is ended. Either the first winning or the second winning for generating the second advantageous game state together with the first advantageous game granting state occurs after the end of the special winning control state.
Further, according to the lottery result (winning mode) based on the special lottery, the open / close fluctuation in the special winning device is controlled based on the first condition that defines the number of times the open / close fluctuation is repeated and the period during which the open / close fluctuation occurs. A second special prize that controls the first special prize control state and the open / close fluctuation in the special prize apparatus based on a second condition that reduces at least one of the number of repetitions and the period of the open / close fluctuation from the first condition. One of the control states occurs.
The opening / closing operation of the special winning device in the second special winning control state generated based on the first winning and the opening / closing operation of the special winning device in the second special winning control state generated based on the second winning are the same operation. As described above, there are cases where the second advantageous game grant state occurs together with the first advantageous game grant state after the end of the state and sometimes does not occur despite the same second special prize control state.

Also, the occurrence of the special winning control state based on the hit generated from the state that is not in the first advantageous game granting state is the first time, and after the special winning control state occurs until the predetermined upper limit number of times, a special lottery is performed. A first advantageous game grant state in which the probability of winning is high occurs. This is a so-called probability fluctuation state (probability change) in a broad sense, but here, it does not include a state similar to the state in which the normal winning device is frequently opened, that is, the so-called time shortening state (short time), but the probability of winning. However, it is different from the narrowly-defined probability change including the state where the regular winning device is frequently opened.
At this time, the first advantageous game granting state is, for example, until the special winning control state (the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state) of the upper limit number of times such as seven occurs. It happens later.

Further, only when the second winning (first special winning control state) is completed, together with the first advantageous game granting state, the predetermined starting winning opening (hereinafter referred to as the “first starting winning opening”). The second advantageous game granting state that increases the chance of opening the normal winning device is generated. This is, for example, a function as a so-called short time. If only the second advantageous game grant state is performed, it is a so-called short time. If the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state are performed at the same time, the so-called narrow sense. It becomes a certain change.
Therefore, after the second special winning control state is ended, the second advantageous game grant state does not occur, and only the first advantageous game grant state occurs, so that the player has a higher probability of winning. It can be in a state of not being noticed.

  Also, in the second advantageous game granting state, if the game ball is won at the first start winning port having the normal winning device that is frequently released and the second winning can be generated, the distribution probability per second can be obtained. A winning prize opening other than a predetermined starting prize opening that is smaller than the probability of allocation per first (hereinafter, a starting prize opening other than the predetermined starting prize opening is referred to as a “second starting prize opening”). You may make it possible to avoid winning in the special lottery based.

  Further, for the first win, the period during which the special prize device is opened may be set to be equal to or less than the first special prize control state. For example, assuming that the second hit is a big hit state in a normal digipachi and the first hit is a state similar to sudden probability change (surprise) or sudden short time (surprise), most players per first A game ball cannot be acquired, and many game balls can be acquired per second. In addition, it is not necessary to make all the first hits suddenly or suddenly, and it may be configured to occur even when the special winning device is open longer than that.

  In addition, the normal winning device receives, for example, a result of a normal lottery started when a game ball passes a so-called chucker (specific passing area) (the game ball may win a specific winning port). In this case, it is known to be released, and it is frequently released in a so-called short-time state or narrowly-defined probability change state as the above-described second advantageous game grant state.

When a game machine having such a configuration is played, the normal winning device is not opened in the normal state and the first advantageous game granting state, and the opening period is short even if it is opened. It is unlikely that game balls will win a prize.
In the present invention, it is preferable that the game ball is difficult to win at the first start winning opening in the normal state and the first advantageous game grant state.

Therefore, in the normal state and the first advantageous game granting state, a special probability that the second allocation probability is smaller than the first allocation probability based on the winning of the game ball at the second start winning opening. A lottery is recommended.
Here, when the first win occurs, for example, the opening period of the special winning device such as the accuracy or the collision is short, and the player does not acquire many game balls (second special winning control state), and the first It ’s better to stop winning.

  When the first winning (second special winning control state) is completed, only the first advantageous game granting state without the second advantageous game granting state occurs, and the special winning lottery is not performed without frequently releasing the normal winning device. Only the probability of winning (first special lottery and second special lottery) increases. In this case, since the second advantageous game grant state does not occur, it is unlikely that the game ball will win the first start winning opening, and the game ball wins the second start winning opening again. A special lottery will be held. In this case, the first hit may occur again.

Therefore, for example, when the special winning control state of 7 times is generated as the upper limit number, the upper limit number of times is 7 when the first advantageous game granting state occurs without the second advantageous game granting state after the special winning control state. The first hit may occur consecutively.
In this case, the player will not be aware that the normal winning device will not be released frequently, so it will not be noticed that the probability has changed (the probability of winning a special lottery is high), and will be in a normal state, You'll be wondering how often sudden times occur. In addition, unlike in the case of sudden hits or crashes, if the first special win control state occurs with a long open period of the special win device, the player may think that he has drawn a single hit instead of a win There is.

  On the other hand, in a normal state, when a game ball is won at the second start winning opening and a special lottery (second special lottery) is performed and a second win occurs, the so-called jackpot is set as the first special win control state. As a state, for example, the special prize-winning device is released for a long period in which 8 or more, for example, 10 game balls can be won, and the game is released 15 or 16 times. A game ball as a large amount of prize balls can be acquired.

  When the second winning (first special winning control state) ends, the first advantageous game granting state and the second advantageous game granting state are performed in parallel, so that the normal winning device is frequently used. By opening, a relatively large number of game balls can be won in the first start winning opening. In addition, the player sees a state in which a so-called narrow probability change has occurred.

  Further, if the game ball is continuously won in the first start winning opening which is easy to win in the second advantageous game granting state, the first advantageous after the second win (first special winning control state) until the upper limit is reached. The state where the game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state occur, that is, the probability that the so-called probability variation jackpot will continuously occur is higher than that of the second start winning opening. That is, if the upper limit number is set to 7, it seems to the player that the probability variation big hit (seventh hit is non-probable and will not change after completion) has occurred seven times in a row.

  Also, as described above, even if the first win occurs first, the second win may occur in the second or subsequent special lottery (second special lottery), and the second lottery (second special lottery) If the second win occurs in the lottery), the probability variation big hit of the upper limit number minus one, for example, six consecutive probability variation big hits occur, and if the second win occurs in the third special lottery (second special lottery) 5 consecutive probability variation jackpots have occurred. Thereafter, if the second win occurs in the special lottery (second special lottery) before the upper limit number is reached, the probability variation big hit is continuously generated by the remaining number of the upper limit number.

  If only the first advantageous game grant state is seen, regardless of the occurrence of the first hit and the second hit, any probability change big hit for the upper limit will occur in any case, but when viewed from the player, It seems that any one from consecutive probabilistic big hits to single hits has occurred, and it seems that there are various variations in the special lottery, which can make the player interested. Therefore, a new game is performed in a gaming machine that performs a special lottery based on the winning of each game ball in two starting winning ports (a predetermined starting winning port and a starting winning port other than the predetermined starting winning port). Can have sex.

  Because such a game can be performed, if it is a single time in a normal state, for example, the hit of 5 times or more (for example, 7 times), which has not occurred in the past, is concentrated in a short time without reducing the game balls due to certainty. Even a gaming machine that is determined to occur at any time can be configured such that any number of times less than or equal to the upper limit is randomly determined as the number of times that the apparent variation jackpot appears in succession. Each time a special lottery occurs in a normal state, the player is prevented from acquiring too many game balls every time, thereby improving the gameability and in the player and the game store. The balance of profits can be maintained. Furthermore, in order to maintain the above-mentioned balance, the probability of winning a special lottery in a normal state is lowered, and it is difficult for the player to play a game with this gaming machine. Can be prevented.

In addition, as described above, when the upper limit number is set to 7, for example, the display on the display unit in the case where seven consecutive probability variation jackpots are generated displays 7 as the remaining number of the upper limit number in each display area. It becomes the display of the doublet.
In addition, when 6 consecutive probability variation big hits (5 probability variation big hits plus one single hit) are generated, the display means displays a 6th round, and in the case of 5 consecutive odds, a 5th round It becomes. That is, it can be seen how many times the probable big hit can be continued by looking at the display on the display means.
As a result, the player has a strong interest in the display on the display means, and the gaming machine can have new gaming characteristics.

  In addition, by disposing the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening at positions separated from each other, the player can divide the game ball into the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening respectively. When the second advantageous game granting state in which the chance of opening the normal winning device at the first starting winning opening is increased, the game ball is surely made to win the first starting winning opening, so that When the so-called probability variation jackpot can be continuously generated as shown in the above, it is ensured that the game ball is won not in the second start winning opening, but in the first starting winning opening, so that the probability variation jackpot can be made continuous. be able to. For example, the first start winning opening and the normal winning device are arranged at a position where the game ball wins by so-called right strike, and the second start winning opening is arranged at a position where the game ball wins by normal left strike against the right strike. Also good.

  In addition, if the game ball is won at the second start winning opening in a state where the probabilistic big wins continue, there is a possibility that the first win is generated instead of the second win, and the first win (second special win control) Since the second advantageous game grant state does not occur after the (state), there is a possibility that the continuity of the apparent probability change jackpot may be interrupted.

The second advantageous game grant state generated by the second advantageous game grant means is a state in which the state returns to the normal state when the number of special lottery games after the end of the special winning control state reaches a predetermined number. be able to.
That is, the probability of the special lottery is lower than that in the first advantageous game grant state, but the second advantageous game grant state (for example, based on the detection of a game ball) that increases the chances of the start of the normal winning device being opened. By increasing the lottery probability of the lottery with the starting port open state from the normal state and shortening the time for the lottery notification, the number of lotteries per unit time is increased from the normal state, and the lottery is won by the lottery. The time during which the normal winning device is in the open state of the start opening is made longer than the normal state) is in a chance state that continues until the number of special lottery games reaches a predetermined number.
Here, in the present invention, when the special lottery (first special lottery) is won based on the winning of the game ball at the first start winning opening, the second win (first special win control state) is achieved. It is preferable that the probabilistic jackpots are in a continuous state up to the remaining number of the upper limit.

  Therefore, the second advantageous game grant state occurs after the upper limit number of special winning control states have ended, that is, when the first advantageous game granting means does not generate the first advantageous game grant state and enters the normal state. Then, if the game ball wins the first start winning slot before the number of games in the special lottery reaches the predetermined number and wins in the special lottery (first special lottery), the probability variation big hit that is continuously repeated the upper limit number of times is generated. be able to.

In other words, in a normal state, there is a low possibility that a game ball will win the first start winning opening, and there is a possibility that the first win may occur when the game ball wins the second start winning opening, and the upper limit number There is a possibility that the probabilistic jackpot will not continue for a smaller number of times, or there is a possibility that the probable jackpot will not occur, but if it hits the chance state, the maximum number of consecutive probable jackpots can be generated, which is very different from conventional games Can be given. That is, the second advantageous game grant state that does not accompany the first advantageous game grant state is similar to the time reduction after the end of the probability change.
Since the normal state is not the first and second special winning control state and is not the first and second advantageous game granting state, the first advantageous game giving means after the first special winning control state ends. When the normal state is set and the second advantageous game giving means is configured to be in the second advantageous game giving state after the first special winning control state, the second advantageous game giving state is set.

Further, the second generation rate in the normal state and the second generation rate in the first advantageous game grant state can be changed.
Here, in the normal state, since it is not the first advantageous game grant state, the winning probability of the special lottery is low, and it is difficult for the winning to occur. Moreover, since it is not in the second advantageous game grant state, there are not many opportunities for the normal winning device to open.

  Therefore, the normal state seems to be more disadvantageous to the player than the first advantageous game grant state without the second advantageous game grant state, that is, the state where only the probability of the special lottery is increased. By assigning a relatively high allocation probability per second in the state and lowering a distribution probability per second in the first advantageous game granting state from the normal state, the normal state is granted the first advantageous game grant. It is possible to make the state more advantageous to the player than the state.

  Here, for example, in order to clarify that the normal state is more advantageous than the first advantageous game grant state, the distribution probability of the first advantageous game grant state in the case of winning in the second special lottery is Without considering the probability of winning the special lottery (first special lottery), the occurrence rate per second is more normal than the first advantageous game grant state (without the second advantageous game grant state). The distribution probability is set so that it becomes higher.

  In this case, in a normal state, since the probability of winning the special lottery (second special lottery) is low, it does not occur easily. However, if the winning is achieved, there is a high possibility that the second winning will occur instead of the first winning. There is a higher possibility that an apparent probability change jackpot will occur up to the upper limit. On the other hand, in the first advantageous game granting state, the probability of winning the special lottery (second special lottery) is high, but even if it is a win, there is a high possibility that the first win will occur, and the apparent probability variation jackpot is almost For example, there is a high possibility that the accuracy is continuously generated.

As a result, the first advantageous game granting state without the second advantageous game granting state is more disadvantageous to the player than the normal state, despite the fact that the winning probability of the special lottery is higher than the normal state. A gaming machine that is not available can be given to the gaming machine.
On the other hand, if the distribution probability per second in the normal state is lower than that in the first advantageous game grant state without the second advantageous game grant state, a probabilistic big hit is generated with the number of consecutive times less than the above upper limit number of times. The possibility increases, and the probability variation jackpot is generated at different consecutive times, so that it is possible to make a variety of games.

  In addition, when the special lottery (second special lottery) is won in the normal state, the first normal gaming state in which the distribution probability that the second hit occurs is a predetermined probability, and the special lottery (second special lottery) There is a second normal gaming state in which the distribution probability of occurrence of the second winning is higher than the predetermined probability when the winning is, and the second normal gaming state is started as a normal state only when the power is turned on.

  Therefore, when the special lottery (second special lottery) is won when the power is turned on, there is a higher possibility of being the second win than the normal state other than when the power is turned on. Therefore, when the power is turned on, there is a higher possibility that the apparent probability variation jackpot will continue up to the upper limit number of times than in a normal state other than when the power is turned on. As a result, when the power is turned on, the player is more advantageous than other normal states.

Therefore, by turning on the power after turning off the power before the start of business, it becomes a service to the player at the time of opening the store in a second normal gaming state that is advantageous to the player. Increase sales.
Normally, when the power is turned on after turning off the power, it is normal only when the memory is cleared so that the stored contents of the storage device of the main controller protected by the auxiliary power supply are erased so that the memory is not lost even if the power is turned off. When the game is started from the second normal gaming state as the state, and the power is simply turned on, the game may be resumed from the gaming state when the power is turned off.

  Further, in a simulation of a video game or the like of a gaming machine, the same effect as that of the first aspect of the invention can be achieved. Here, the simulation computer includes a game machine such as a so-called video game machine, a portable game machine, and an arcade game machine that includes a memory such as a CPU, a RAM, and a ROM and executes a game based on a program.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, when a lottery to determine whether or not to win each of the plurality of start winning holes independently is performed, a predetermined start winning opening (first start winning prize) Start) other than the predetermined start winning opening, an increase in the chances of opening a normal winning device (electrical chew) provided in the mouth) and an advantageous game granting state after a special winning control state based on winning in a predetermined starting winning opening Apparently under the condition that the probabilistic jackpot will continue for the upper limit number of times by combining the advantage to the advantageous game granting state after the special winning control state based on the winning at the winning opening (second starting winning opening) The probability variation jackpot or the single jackpot that is continuously generated at any number of times equal to or less than the upper limit number can be set to a state in which the jackpot is randomly generated.

  Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a gaming machine (for example, a ball) that is installed in a place such as a game machine-installed store and that allows a player to play a game based on supply of gaming media (for example, a gaming ball or medal). The configuration and operation of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine will be described.

The pachinko gaming machine has a basic configuration as a so-called “digipachi” type pachinko gaming machine, and includes a gaming board 1 shown in FIG. 1, and a guide rail 2 on the front surface of the gaming board 1 on which a gaming ball is launched. A game area 2a is formed in a portion surrounded by, for example.
A variable display device (decorative symbol display device) 3 is provided in the game area 2 a on the surface of the game board 1 slightly above the center. The variable display device 3 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and displays a lottery result that is out of the lottery performed by the main controller 231 (to be described later) functioning as a lottery means. A variation display game is displayed, and the lottery result is displayed when the variation display game is missed.

A variation display game is basically a well-known game, for example, a plurality of decorative symbols (identification information) such as numbers are displayed in a variable manner so as to be switched in a plurality of display areas, and a variation in a variation pattern determined in advance by lottery. When the display time elapses, the variable display is terminated, and one decorative symbol is stopped (determined) in each display area, and the combination of the stopped decorative symbols is a special combination. A special gaming state, which will be described later, is generated as a winning combination. The variable display device 3 is not limited to a liquid crystal display device, and various known display devices can be used. For example, a display device capable of displaying a plurality of numbers using a plurality of 7-segment display devices. It may be.
In addition, there are a plurality of types of special game states as described later, whereby the above-mentioned special combinations are different as described later.

Further, in the variable display device 3, not only the decorative symbols are sequentially switched and displayed in the above-mentioned display of the variable display game, but also various stunning displays are performed, and characters and other characters related to the decorative symbols are displayed. Animation display or the like may also be performed.
In this example, the first special figure game and the second special figure game are played as the variable display game using special symbols (special symbols) as so-called identification information. Two variable display games are played. Here, together with a later-described special display variable display game, one variable display game is hereinafter referred to as a first special figure game, and the other variable display game is referred to as a second special figure game.
It is also possible for the first special figure game and the second special figure game to be performed in parallel, but in this example, the first special figure game and the second special figure game are substantially It is almost never done in parallel. That is, as described later, it is highly likely that the special game to be played will be only the first special game or only the second special game depending on the gaming state. The main display is divided into a main display using most and a sub display performed at the corner of the display screen, and a special game that is very likely to be executed depending on the gaming state is set as the main display and can be executed A special game with extremely low characteristics is displayed as a sub display.
That is, in a game state where the first special figure game is highly likely to be executed (a normal state and a first advantageous game grant state described later), the first special figure game is the main display on the variable display device 3. The second special game is a sub display.
In the gaming state where the second special figure game is highly likely to be executed (second advantageous game granting state described later), the second special figure game is the main display on the variable display device 3, and the first special figure game is displayed. The figure game is a sub display.

  The variable display device 3 is surrounded by a peripheral wall 31 that prevents the inflow of game balls. In addition, a stage 32 is formed at the bottom portion of the peripheral wall 31 so that a game ball can jump from the lower side and flow in, and a part of the flowed game ball is guided to a second start winning opening 51 described later. ing. In addition, the peripheral wall 31 includes, for example, an inflow port for game balls provided on the outside of the side portion, an outflow port from which the game ball flows out toward the stage 32, and a flow path leading from the inflow port to the outflow port. The provided warp device 33 is provided on the left side of the peripheral wall 31, and a part of the game ball flowing down the periphery (left side) of the peripheral wall 31 is guided to the stage 32.

  Below the right side of the variable display device 3, first and second special figure displays 4a and 4b are provided. The first and second special symbol displays 4a and 4b are each composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED display device, and variably display special symbols (identification information) in the same manner as the above-mentioned decorative symbols. However, the first and second special-figure indicators 4a and 4b do not perform a stunning display like the variable display device 3, but simply switch and display special symbols sequentially, and the above-mentioned variable display time has elapsed. After that, the special symbol is stopped and displayed (determined display), and whether the special symbol displayed in a stopped state is a predetermined winning special symbol or a special symbol that is out of touch is notified.

Further, the first special symbol game with the decorative symbol performed on the variable display device 3 corresponds to the first special graphic game with the special symbol performed on the first special symbol display 4a, and the decorative symbol performed on the variable display device 3 The second special figure game corresponds to a second special figure game with a special symbol performed on the second special figure display 4b.
That is, the first special figure game is displayed as the first variable display game of the decorative symbol of the variable display device 3 and is displayed as the first variable display game of the special symbol of the first special figure indicator 4a. The 1-variable display game is a game that has the same result of notifying the result of one first special lottery performed by the main control device 231 described later.

The second special figure game is displayed as a second variation display game of the decorative symbol of the variable display device 3 and is displayed as a second variation display game of the special symbol of the second special symbol display 4b. The two-variable display game is a game that has the same result of notifying the result of one second special lottery performed by the main control device 231 described later.
In other words, the variable display game that informs the result of the winning lottery performed by the main controller 231 as the first special figure game (first special lottery) and the second special figure game (second special lottery) enjoys the player. The game is displayed separately for a game with a decorative design for saving, and a game with a special diagram that only informs the result.

  In addition, the decorative symbol game on the variable display device 3 and the special symbol game on the special symbol display devices 4a and 4b are performed almost simultaneously, and the winning lottery results displayed are the same as described above. Become. In the variable display device 3 and the special figure displays 4a and 4b, the variable display time (the time between the start timing and the stop timing of the variable display is the notification time of the present invention) is substantially the same.

A second start winning opening 51 is provided directly below the variable display device 3. The second start winning opening 51 determines whether or not the second special figure game is won or missed based on the winning of the game ball to the main control device 231 that functions as a second special lottery means for performing a lottery to determine a win. An opportunity to start the second special lottery to be determined (an opportunity to start the variable display game) is given.

The normal variation winning device 53 has a so-called electric tool as an electric accessory, and is provided with a first start winning opening 55 between two left and right movable pieces 54, 54 constituting the electric accessory. In a normal state, the movable pieces 54 and 54 are closed with an interval that allows only one game ball to flow down, and the result of a normal symbol variation display game (ordinary variation display game) described later is a hit. In such a case, the two movable pieces 54 are opened for a preset time. However, in this example, since the game nail 16 is disposed immediately above the position between the movable pieces 54 and 54 in the closed state, the game is played with the pair of movable pieces 54 and 54 closed. It is impossible to win a ball.

That is, the normal variation winning device 53 is in the closed closed state where the game ball cannot be won, and the game ball is guided to the pair of movable pieces 54, 54, so that the second start winning port 51 without the above-mentioned electric chew is provided. The game ball fluctuates between an open and closed state in which a game ball is more likely to win a prize.
In addition, the first start winning opening 55 is based on the fact that the game ball wins the main control device 231 that functions as a first special lottery means for performing a lottery for determining the winning of the first special figure game as will be described later. In this way, an opportunity to start the first special lottery (an opportunity to start the variable display game) for determining the winning and losing of the first special figure game is given.
That is, the normal variation winning device 53 is provided at the first starting winning port 55, and it is easy to win the gaming ball to the first starting winning port 55 in a closed starting port state where no gaming ball can win the first starting winning port 55. It is a normal prize-winning device which fluctuates between the starting port open state.
The first start winning opening 55 is provided with a first start winning ball detection sensor 56 that detects a winning of a game ball to the first start winning opening 55.

  From the above, the first start winning port 55 and the second start winning port 51 are provided on the game board 1 on which the game ball is launched, and the first start winning port 55 receives the game ball and wins the first. Detection by the start winning ball detection sensor 56 gives an opportunity to start the first special figure game (first special lottery), and a game ball wins the second start winning port 51 to detect the second start winning ball. By being detected by the sensor 52, an opportunity to start the second special figure game (second special lottery) is given.

  Further, a first special figure reservation number display lamp 7 a and a second special figure reservation number display lamp 7 b are provided on the front surface of the upper side portion of the peripheral wall of the variable display device 3.

Within the range of (for example, 4), 1 is added to the first special figure start memorized number, and the first special figure game (the first special figure game of both the decorative symbol and the special symbol) is started based on this starting prize. In this case, 1 is subtracted from the first special figure starting memory number. The first special figure start memorized number, that is, the number of triggers (start right) for starting the first special figure game is displayed on the first special figure hold number display lamp 7a.

  Similarly, a range of a numerical value (for example, 4) that becomes an upper limit when the second starting winning ball detection sensor 52 detects a game ball that has won the second starting winning port 51 in the second special figure game as the variable display game. 1 is added to the number stored in the second special figure start, and the second special figure start is started when the variable display game (the first special figure game of both the decorative design and the special design) is started based on the start winning. One is subtracted from the stored number. The second special figure start memorized number, that is, the number of triggers (start right) for starting the second special figure game is displayed on the second special figure hold number display lamp 7b.

  A special variable winning device 8 is provided below the variable display device 3 and further below the second start winning port 51. A special variable winning device 8 called an attacker is provided with a winning ball 83 that is larger than a normal winning port and a movable door 81 that opens and closes the large winning port 83, so that a game ball wins. Is a closed state in which the movable door 81 is closed so as not to allow game balls to flow in, and when the result of the variable display game is a win (a special game state (first advantageous state) as a big hit state based on a win) When it is started), the game ball is opened so that the game ball can easily flow in based on a predetermined condition, and the opening and closing are repeated as will be described later. In other words, the special variable winning device 8 can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a game ball cannot win.

  In other words, the pachinko gaming machine is provided on the game board 1 and has a grand prize opening 834 for a game ball to win, a closed state in which no game ball can win the big prize opening 83, and a game ball in the big prize opening 83.

When one of the two conditions is fulfilled, the block is closed, and the block is opened again, and is controlled to repeat blocking a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds) based on the establishment of the above condition. . The period from when the special variable winning device 8 is opened until it is closed is referred to as a round. That is, the main control device 231 sets the special variable prize-winning device 8 to the closed state after the special variable prize-winning device 8 is in an open state in which a plurality of game balls can be continuously won. The special variable winning device 8 is controlled so as to repeat a predetermined number of times.

  On the right side of the variable display device 3, an ordinary start port 9 is provided. Further, a passing ball detection sensor 91 for detecting a game ball that has passed through the normal drawing start port 9 is provided corresponding to the normal start port 9, and the passing ball detection sensor 91 detects a game ball, that is, Based on the fact that the game ball passes (wins) through the ordinary figure starting port 9, a later-described ordinary symbol variation display game (hereinafter referred to as ordinary figure game) is changed to a later-described ordinary symbol (ordinary figure) display device (LED display device) 6. The opportunity to display with is added.

The universal map display device 6 that displays the universal map variable display game, for example, performs a variable display by alternately turning on and off a circle mark and a cross mark that are turned on and off by an LED. A round mark is lit, and a cross mark is lit when there is a loss.
It is assumed that the normal figure display device 6 is composed of a 7-segment LED display device, and the numerical value as a normal symbol is sequentially switched and displayed in a variable manner, and then one numerical value is stopped and displayed, and the numerical value that is stopped and displayed is 7 or the like in advance. If the hit value is determined, it may be a win. Note that the result of the hit failure is determined by lottery by the main controller 231.

  Under the above-mentioned general map display device 6, a general map hold number display lamp 10 is provided. When the game ball passes through the normal start port 9 in the normal symbol variation display game (when the passing ball detection sensor 91 outputs detection of the game ball), the upper limit is set to a numerical value (for example, 4). One is added to the starting memory number, and when the usual figure change display game is started, a process of subtracting 1 from the usual figure starting memory number is performed. The normal figure start memory number is displayed on the normal figure hold number display lamp 10.

  As described above, when the normal variation display game is won, the normal variation winning device 53 is opened, the winning rate of the game balls to the normal variation winning device 53 is increased, and the opportunity to start the variation display game is increased. Has come to increase.

Further, on the front surface of the game board 1, there are provided flow-down regulation changing members such as a game nail 16 (only part of which is shown) and a windmill (not shown) which regulate the flow-down direction of the game ball and change the flow-down direction. .

Next, the control system of the pachinko gaming machine of this example will be described with reference to the block diagram shown in FIG.
The control system of the pachinko gaming machine is roughly composed of a main control unit 23, a sub control unit 24, and a power supply device 29 that supplies power to the main control unit 23 and the sub control unit 24.
The main control unit 23 includes a main control device 231 composed of, for example, a one-chip microcomputer for a gaming machine. The main control device 231 includes a CPU 23a that executes a program, a program and data used in the program. A stored ROM 23b, a RAM 23c that stores data generated based on a program, various data read from the ROM 23b, and the like, a frequency generation circuit unit 23d, and the like are provided.

  Signals from various sensors provided in the pachinko gaming machine can be input to the main controller 231 (CPU 23A). The first start winning ball detection sensor 56, the second starting winning ball detection sensor 52, A prize ball paid out from a game ball payout device 251 that is connected to a grand prize ball detection sensor 82, a passing ball detection sensor 91, and a general prize ball detection sensor 131 and that pays out a prize ball in response to a winning of a game ball. Are connected to a game ball payout detection sensor 232, an error detection sensor 233 to detect an error in a pachinko gaming machine, and the like.

  The main control device 231 outputs various signals for operating various devices of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, a central control device 234 for collecting and managing data of each gaming machine installed in a game store is connected to the main control device 231 so that data can be input from the main control device 231. The main controller 231 is connected with a payout controller 25, a symbol controller (display controller) 26, a lamp controller 27, and a voice controller 28 as sub-controllers. (Control command) is outputable.

  Here, since the payout control device 25 performs the main control of the game in the pachinko gaming machine for substantially paying out the winning ball, it is included in the main control unit 23, and the symbol control related to the effect of the game The device 26, the lamp control device 27, and the sound control device 28 are included in the sub-control unit 24.

  The main controller 231 is connected to first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b, which are 7-segment LED displays, and the main controller 231 includes first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b. Display control is performed. And the 1st and 2nd special figure display 4a, 4b alert | reports the result of the 1st special lottery and the 2nd special lottery performed by the main controller 231 as mentioned above, and the 1st and 2nd It functions as a notification means. The main controller 231 functions as a part of the first notification means and the second notification means because it controls the first and second special-figure indicators 4a and 4b.

  The payout control device 25 is connected to a game ball payout device 251 that is controlled by the payout control device 25 to pay out a prize ball and a rental ball, and reads out the data of the prepaid card 252 and controls the payout of the game ball. A CR unit 253 is connected via a ball lending signal control device 254. The payout control device 25 pays out a prize ball based on a command from the main control device 231 and pays a ball rental based on a ball lending signal input from the CR unit 253 via the ball lending signal control device 254. Perform control.

  The main control device 231 is connected with a normal variation solenoid 242 for driving the movable pieces 54 and 54 of the above-described normal variation prize winning device 53 and a special variation solenoid for driving the movable door 81 of the special variation prize winning device 8. 241 is connected, and these solenoids are controlled by the main controller 231.

  In addition, the main control unit 23 is not directly connected to the main control device 231, but includes a launch control device 236 that controls a launch drive device 235 of a hitting ball launcher (not shown) that launches a game ball into the game area 2a. The launch control device 236 is connected to a rotary operation handle 237 for operating the launch of a game ball, a launch stop button 238, and a touch sensor 239.

  The main control device 231 of the main control unit 23 controls the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine, and includes a first start winning ball detection sensor 56, a second starting winning ball detection sensor 52, and a big winning ball detection sensor 82. When a game ball detection signal is input from the general winning ball detection sensor 131, that is, when a gaming ball wins at each winning opening, a command is output to the payout control device 25, and the gaming ball is detected as a winning ball. Let the discharge occur.

  The main control device 231 also performs the process of adding the above-mentioned normal figure start memory number when a game ball detection signal is input from the passing ball detection sensor 91, and determines the winning of the normal figure game. The random number used in the process is acquired, and the usual figure change display game is started. At this time, the lottery process determines the hit of the usual game, and outputs a command to the symbol control device 26, the lamp control device 27, and the voice control device 28 for display of the usual game, notification of the result, and production. .

  The main control device 231 performs the process of adding the first special figure start memory number when the game ball detection signal is input from the first start winning ball detection sensor 56 and the first special figure game. Random numbers used in the first special lottery process for determining whether or not to win are acquired, and the first special figure game is started. At this time, the first special lottery process determines the hit of the first special figure game, the first special figure display 4a is controlled to display the first fluctuation display game of the special figure, and the first of the decorative symbols is displayed. A command is output to the symbol control device 26, the lamp control device 27, the voice control device 28, etc. for display of a one-variation display game, notification of the result, and production.

  Similarly, when the game ball detection signal is input from the second start winning ball detection sensor 52, the main controller 231 performs the process of adding the above-mentioned second special figure start memory number and the second special figure. A random number used in the second special lottery process for determining a game hit is obtained, and the second special figure game is started. At this time, by the second special lottery process, the winning of the second special figure game is determined, the second special figure display 4a is controlled to display the second variable display game of the special figure, and the second of the decorative symbols is displayed. A command is output to the symbol control device 26, the lamp control device 27, the voice control device 28, etc. for display of the two-variable display game, notification of the result, and production.

  That is, the main control device 231 functions as first and second special lottery means for performing the first and second special lotteries that are not successful. It is to be noted that, when a game ball detection signal is input from the first and second starting winning ball detection sensors 56 and 52, a hit determination random number for determining a hit or failure in the above-described first and second special figure games. In addition to acquiring the display mode, the first and second special figure indicators 4a and 4b are stopped and displayed at the end of the first and second variable display games of the special figure (the special symbols to be stopped and displayed) The random number (design random number) for determining a special symbol for determining the symbol type) by symbol lottery is acquired.

  In the first special figure game, the starting condition is that the first special figure start memory number is 1 or more based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 55, the special game state (first It is necessary that all three of being not in an advantageous state) and not being in the first special figure game are established. Similarly, in the second special figure game, the start condition is that the second special figure start memory number is 1 or more based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 51, and the special game state is not in effect. That is, all three things that are not in the second special game need to be established.

In this example, the lottery probability for winning the first special figure game is equal to the lottery probability for winning the second special figure game.
The first and second variable display times (first and second notification times) are basically determined by lottery.
Based on the above, a special winning control state (special gaming state) that is provided on the gaming board 1 and repeats opening and closing fluctuations of the special variation winning device 8 when winning is based on winning of a game ball. It has the 1st start winning opening 55 and the 2nd starting winning opening 51 which give the opportunity of a lottery.

  Further, main controller 231 determines the first and second special figure game to be started off based on the acquired random number at the start of the first special figure game and the second special figure game. In addition, corresponding to the winning lottery result, the stop symbols to be displayed as the lottery results of the first and second special figure games are determined by lottery, and the variable display time is included by lottery corresponding to these results. Determine the basic variation pattern.

  The main controller 231 also drives the drive source (special variation) of the movable door 81 of the special variable winning device 8 when the first special figure game is won and when the second special figure game is won. The solenoid 241) is controlled to generate a special gaming state (special winning control state) for opening and closing the special variable winning device. In this example, there are a plurality of special game states as will be described later.

  Further, the main control device 231 controls the drive source (normal variation solenoid 242) of the movable pieces 54 and 54 of the normal variation winning device 53 to control the normal variation winning device 53 when the normal game is won. Control is performed from the closed first state to the opened second state.

Here, the special winning control state as the special gaming state can be broadly divided into a first special winning control state and a second special winning control state.
The most different point between the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state is that the advantageous game granting state generated after the end of the first special winning control state and the first special winning control state is different. That is.

Here, before explaining the special winning control state, the advantageous game grant state will be explained.
This advantageous game granting state is a so-called probability change (probability variation state). In the present invention, the advantageous game granting states that are probable changes include a first advantageous game granting state and a second advantageous granting state. The first advantageous game granting state is a high probability state of a special figure game in which the winning probability (winning probability) in the first and second special figure games is higher than the winning probability in the normal state.

In the second advantageous game granting state, the number of occurrences of the first special figure game is increased by increasing the total time for which the normal variation winning device 53 per unit time is opened, and the normal variation winning device 53 This is a state in which the game is assisted so that the game is advantageous to the player by the normal variation winning device 53 in which the number of winning balls based on the winning of the game ball is increased.
In the single first advantageous game granting state, there is no assist using the normal variation winning device 53 in the second advantageous game granting state, and the winning probability of the special figure game is only increased.

The second advantageous game grant state is the same as the conventional short-time state, for example, a state in which a normal game is played under the following conditions.
1. The normal map change display time from the start to the end of the general map game (the time that is changed and displayed so that the normal map is switched sequentially (the general map notification time)) and the general map fixed display time (the normal map game display time) One game is processed for each game time consisting of the time when the stopped general map is displayed in a finalized state). By shortening the display time), the number of executions of the usual game per unit time is set to the normal state without the second advantageous game granting state, the first and second special winning control states, and the independent first advantageous game. Increase from grant state. That is, the game time is shortened.

2. High probability state in which the lottery probability for winning a normal game is higher than the normal state without the second advantageous game granting state, the first and second special winning control states, and the single first advantageous game granting state And
3. When the normal game is won and the normally variable winning device is released, the opening time is set to the normal state without the second advantageous game granting state, the first and second special winning control states, It is made longer than one advantageous game grant state (in this case, the number of times of opening for one hit may be increased).

  In the short-time state, for example, the number of executions of the usual game per unit time in 1 is the normal state without the second advantageous game granting state, the first and second special winning control states, and the single first advantage. By making the number extremely higher than the game granting state, the probability of winning the ordinary game in 2 may not be made high.

  Also, in the normal state without the second advantageous game grant state, the first and second special winning control states, the single first advantageous game grant state, that is, in each state excluding the second advantageous game grant state, The game time, the opening time of the normal variable winning device, and the probability of hitting the usual game are set to the same conditions.

From the above, in the first advantageous game grant state, the second advantageous game grant state (time-short state) is not controlled from the conventional probability change. The first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant When combined with the state, the control is almost the same as the conventional probability change.
Basically, the first advantageous game grant state occurs after the end of the first and second special winning control states, but in addition to the first advantageous game grant state after the end of the first special winning control state. A second advantageous game grant state also occurs.

That is, after the end of the first special prize control state, the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state occur together, and after the second special prize control state ends, the second advantageous game grant state Without being generated, the first advantageous game grant state is generated independently.
Further, in this example, the main controller 231 first determines whether or not to generate the first advantageous game grant state after the special winning control state ends. The pachinko gaming machine in this example is a so-called 100% probability change (100% only in the first advantageous game grant state), a seven-time limiter machine, and even in the special winning control state (special game state), the first advantageous game grant state ( In a normal state that is not a high probability state (here, a single second advantageous game grant state (a so-called short-time state not involving the first advantageous game grant state) is included in the normal state), the special winning control state is When it occurs, it always enters the first advantageous game grant state. Also, the first advantageous game granting state is started when the special winning control state ends, and ends when the next special winning control state occurs again, but the occurrence number of the special winning control state from the normal state is the upper limit number of times. If it is less than 7 (here, 7 times limiter), the first advantageous game grant state is generated again after the next special winning control state.

  Then, the special winning control state generated from the normal state is set as the first special winning control state, and thereafter, until the special winning control state to be generated reaches the upper limit number of times (seventh here). A first advantageous game grant state is generated later. Further, when the special winning control state that is the upper limit number of times has occurred, when the special winning control state that is the upper limit number of times ends, for example, the first special game and the second special figure may be used as predetermined end conditions. A single second game without the first advantageous game granting state until the game is played (here, only the first special figure game is basically performed as described later) 100 times (or 50 times, etc.). An advantageous game grant state (short-time state) is set, and thereafter, a normal state without a second advantageous game grant state is set.

  That is, the 100% first advantageous game granting state occurs after the special winning control state until the special winning control state that is the upper limit number of times occurs from the normal state (including the single second advantageous game granting state). After the upper limit number of times of the special winning control state, the limiter operates to be in a normal state (including a single second advantageous game granting state).

  Whether or not the upper limit number of times is reached is set in the RAM 23c of the main controller 231, cleared when the normal state (including the single second advantageous game granting state) is reached, and counted up when the special winning control state occurs. Use special control counter. That is, the special control counter is incremented by 1 every time the special winning control state occurs, and is cleared when the normal state (single second advantageous game grant state) is reached.

  Further, the main control device 231 hits, stops, and stops as described above at the start of the first special game and the second special game, that is, at the start of time measurement of the variable display time (first and second notification time). In the case of winning, it is provisionally determined whether or not to generate the first advantageous game grant state after the special game state.

  Therefore, since it is determined that the first advantageous game grant state is not generated when the second special figure game or the first special figure game that generates the special game state that is the upper limit number of times is started, this stage is determined. Then, the special control counter is set to a value that is the upper limit number minus 1 after the special game state that is one less than the upper limit number immediately before the special game state that is the upper limit number of times has ended.

  That is, when the upper limit number is set to 7, the main control device 231 starts the first special figure game or the second special figure game in which the value of the special control counter is 6 when the value is one less than the upper limit number. If this is done, a single second advantageous game grant state is generated without generating the first advantageous game grant state after the special winning control state which is basically the upper limit number generated based on the winning game. Decide what to do. In addition, when the second special figure game or the first special figure game is started when the value of the special control counter is 0 or 5 which is two or more less than the upper limit number of times, based on the winning game It is determined that the first advantageous game grant state is to be generated after the special prize control state that is basically before the upper limit number of times.

Then, when the first advantageous game grant state is generated, if the first special winning control state is ended, the second advantageous game grant state is generated in accordance with the first advantageous game grant state. At this time, the second advantageous game granting state is also terminated when the next special winning control state is generated, and if the next special winning control state is the first special winning control state, the first advantageous winning control state is again after the first special winning control state. A second advantageous game grant state is generated along with the advantageous game grant state.
When the first special winning control state that is the upper limit number of times occurs, the first advantageous game grant state does not occur, but the second advantageous game grant state occurs alone. At this time, the end condition of the second advantageous game granting state is not the occurrence of the next special winning control state but the execution of a special game for a predetermined number of times.

Here, the first special figure game is started with the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 55, but the first start winning opening 55 becomes a hit in the usual game, and the normal variation winning is achieved. If the device 53 is not opened, the game ball will not win.
Further, the normal variation winning device 53 having the first start winning opening 55 is on the right side of the game area 2a, and the game balls flow down mainly on the left side of the variable display device 3 in a general manner of hitting with a pachinko gaming machine. In this state, when the normal variation winning device 53 is opened, the possibility that the game ball flows down the right side of the variable display device 3 and reaches the normal variation winning device 53 is low. Similarly, the normal start port 9 is also on the right side of the game area 2a, and when the game ball is flowing down mainly on the left side of the variable display device 3 in a general hitting manner with a pachinko gaming machine, The possibility of winning is low.

  Further, in this example, the game time of the normal game is not obtained in the normal state alone without the second advantageous game granting state, the single first advantageous game granting state, and the first and second special winning control states. It is extremely long (for example, 10 minutes or more), and the time during which the normally variable winning device 53 is open when the normal game is won is extremely short (for example, 0.2 seconds). From these facts, in the normal state alone without the second advantageous game granting state, the single first advantageous game granting state, and the first and second special winning control states, The possibility that a game ball will win the first start winning opening 55 is extremely low.

  When the firing force of the game ball is adjusted with the operation handle 237, if the firing force is maximized or close to it, that is, when a so-called right strike is performed, most of the launched game balls are variable in the game area 2a. It passes through the right side of the display device 3, thereby increasing the possibility of winning the game ball to the first start winning opening 55 and the normal start opening 9 on the right side of the game area 2 a. That is, the first start winning opening 55 and the second starting winning opening 51 on the game board 1 are arranged at positions separated from each other, and flow down toward the first start winning opening 55 in the second advantageous game granting state. Thus, it is possible to launch a game ball.

  However, as described above, in the single normal state without the second advantageous game granting state, the single first advantageous game granting state, and the first and second special winning control states, it usually varies per unit time. Since the number and time of the winning device 53 being in the open state are extremely small, the number of winning game balls to the first start winning port 55 does not increase so much.

  Further, since the second start winning opening 51 does not basically have a movable structure, state changes (state transitions) such as a normal state, first and second advantageous game granting states, and first and second special winning control states. ) Will hardly change the winning percentage of game balls. In the second advantageous game granting state, the number of game balls won at the first start winning port 55 increases because the period per unit time in which the normally variable winning device 53 is in the open state becomes longer. The number of winning game balls to the second start winning opening 51 decreases accordingly.

  Here, due to the arrangement of game nails (not shown) (some game nails 16 are illustrated, but game nails are not shown here), the game balls are mainly left of the variable display device 3 in the game area 2a. When the normal way of flowing down is made, a part of the game ball flowing down the left side of the variable display device 3 is guided to the second start winning opening 51 by the game nail, and the winning rate of the second starting winning opening 51 is (For example, the average number of winning game balls per unit time) is increased.

On the other hand, when the player makes a right-hand hit, a game nail (not shown) prevents a part of the game ball flowing down the right side of the variable display device 3 in the game area 2a from moving in the direction of the second start winning opening 51. The winning rate of the game ball at the start winning opening 51 is lowered. In this example, when the player hits the right side, almost no game ball is won in the second start winning opening 51.
Accordingly, the winning rate of the game ball to the second start winning port 51 in the normal hitting state is extremely higher than the winning rate of the game ball to the second starting winning port in the case of the right hit. Yes.

  Here, the number of times the player normally opens the prize-winning device 53 per unit time and the short period of the second advantageous game granting state without the second advantageous game granting state, the single first advantageous game granting state, the first In the second special winning control state, even if the player hits the right side, the winning rate of the game ball to the first starting winning port 55 does not become so high as compared with the normal hitting method, and the second starting winning prize The winning rate of the game ball to the mouth 51 is extremely lowered. In this case, the number of executions of the special figure game per unit time is extremely smaller than that in the case of normal hitting, and the games to the winning openings including the first starting winning opening 55 and the second starting winning opening 51 are performed. The percentage of game balls consumed by decreasing the number of winning balls (the rate at which the number of gaming balls decreases due to the difference between the number of game balls fired and the number of game balls paid out based on the winning of game balls to the winning opening) Becomes higher.

  Therefore, in consideration of efficiency, many players have a single normal state without the second advantageous game grant state, a single first advantageous game grant state, and the first and second special prize control states. A normal strike is performed, and in the second advantageous game grant state, a right strike is made.

  Due to these synergistic effects, there are exceptions, but in most cases, in the single normal state without the second advantageous game granting state and the single first advantageous game granting state, The game ball is won and the second special game is executed. In the second advantageous game grant state, the game ball is won at the first start winning port 55 and the first special game is executed. Become.

  Here, in the first and second special winning control states, since the normal variable winning device 53 hardly opens as described above because it is not the second advantageous gaming state, it is more efficient to make a normal way to hit. As a matter of course, when the player is in the first special winning control state, if the player does not hit the right hand but makes a normal hit, the game ball wins the second starting winning opening 51 and the first special winning control state. There is a possibility that the second special figure game will be started during the subsequent second advantageous gaming state. Here, when the second special game is won during the second advantageous game state and the second special winning control state occurs as will be described later, the second advantageous game grant state does not occur thereafter. End up.

In the case of winning in the first special figure game, the second special winning control state does not occur and the first special winning control state occurs.
Therefore, in the first special winning control state, it is preferable to hit the game ball right. For example, when the first special winning control state occurs, the player is right-handed by the variable display device 3 or the like. It is preferable to notify as described above. Note that game nails and the like are arranged so that the winning rate of the game ball to the special variable winning device 8 does not change so much whether it is a normal hit or a right hit.

  In the first special winning control state, for example, the above-described round is performed up to 15 rounds, and each round is a condition in which eight or more game balls are won after the special variable winning device 8 is in an open state or an open state. When either one of the conditions for 30 seconds has elapsed, the special variation winning device 8 is closed.

That is, the first special winning control state is the open condition in which the number of rounds that is the number of repetitions of the opening / closing variation is 15 times, as a first condition that defines the number of repetitions of the opening / closing variation and the open period during the opening / closing variation. Is a period of 30 seconds or 8 game balls.
In addition, the second special control state is, for example, the above-described round is performed up to two rounds, and each round includes a condition in which eight game balls are won after the special variable winning device 8 is in an open state or an open state. When either one of the conditions for 2 seconds has elapsed, the process ends when the special variable winning device 8 is closed.
That is, in the second special control state, the number of rounds that is the number of repetitions of the open / close variation is two, and the open condition is determined as the second condition that defines the number of repetitions of the open / close variation and the period during which the open state during the open / close variation is set Is a period of 2 seconds or 8 game balls. Normally, at least 5 seconds are required to win 8 game balls in the special variable prize winning device 8, and in reality, 10 seconds or more are often required. There are many cases where there are no prizes.

  From the above, the second condition is obtained by reducing at least one of the number of repetitions of the open / close fluctuation of the special fluctuation winning device 8 and the period of the open state during the open / close fluctuation from the first condition. As will be described later, when there are a plurality of states in each of the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state, that is, a plurality of states are included in at least one of the first condition and the second condition. When there is a state, there is no need to reduce at least one of the number of repetitions of the open / close fluctuation and the open state during the open / close fluctuation with respect to all the first conditions. For example, there may be one in which one of the first conditions and one of the second conditions have the same number of repetitions of opening / closing fluctuations and the period during which the opening state during the opening / closing fluctuations is the same.

  Then, the main control device 231 controls the special variable winning device 8 based on the first condition in the first special winning control state, and specially controls based on the second condition in the second special winning control state. The variable winning device 8 is controlled.

  In the first special prize control state, the number of rounds is set to 5 by changing only the number of rounds in the first condition described above, as well as the state in which the number of rounds is 15 rounds described above (maximum repetition condition: big bonus state). It is also possible to provide a round state (restricted repetition condition * regular bonus state), that is, a first special prize control state in which the number of times of opening / closing fluctuations of the special fluctuation winning device 8 is repeated five times. In this case, when the first special winning control state is generated, whether the maximum repeat condition or the limited repeat condition is selected by lottery is selected.

In this case, for example, the maximum repetition condition: the limited repetition condition may be about 60:40.
At this time, even in the second special prize control state, a state where the number of rounds is 2 (minimum repetition condition) and the above-described limited repetition condition may be generated.
In this case as well, when the second special winning control state is generated, whether the minimum repeat condition or the limited repeat condition is selected by lottery is selected.

As for the distribution ratio at this time, for example, the minimum repetition condition: the limited repetition condition may be about 60:40.
In addition, the first special prize control state occurs when the first special figure game is won and the first special prize control state occurs when the second special figure game is won and the first special prize control state occurs. One condition may be different.

  For example, when the first special prize game is won and the first special prize control state is generated, the above-mentioned maximum repetition condition is set, and the second special figure game is won and the first special prize control state is generated. In some cases, either the maximum repetition condition or the minimum repetition condition described above is assigned and one of them is generated. Here, the minimum repeat condition is the second condition used in the second special prize control state, but the same condition as the second special prize control state is obtained by generating the minimum repeat condition in the first special prize control state. However, after the end, the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state are generated.

This makes it possible to produce an effect close to the conventional so-called suddenness (abrupt probability change).
Then, the main controller 231 starts the first special figure game based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 55, and when the first special figure game is won, the first special prize is awarded. Generate a control state.

  In addition, the main controller 231 starts the second special game based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 51, and when the second special game is a win, Whether to generate the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state is distributed and generated. In this case, for example, the distribution ratio may be, for example, 60:40 in the first special prize control state: the second special prize control state.

  In addition, the main control device 231 performs the second start winning game in the first advantageous state when the second special game where the game ball wins in the second start winning port 51 is started in the normal state and the winning game is started. The distribution ratio between the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state is different when the second special figure game in which a winning game ball is won in the mouth 51 is started. Details of the distribution rate will be described later.

  In the first special figure game, when there are a plurality of first conditions in the first special winning control state, and the first special winning control state of one first condition is generated by distributing the first conditions, A special symbol indicating a shift and a special symbol indicating a win are set in advance and a special symbol indicating a win as well as a special symbol which is stopped and displayed when the first special symbol game is ended on the first special symbol display 4a. In addition, a first condition having a different first special winning control state, for example, a special symbol for the above-mentioned big bonus (maximum repetition condition) and a special symbol for the regular bonus (limited repetition condition) are set in advance, Thus, when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 55, a random number is drawn for drawing a special symbol as a stop symbol that is fixedly displayed at the end of the first special symbol game on the first special symbol display 4a. The first special feature By using the game start associating data tables and special symbols of per and a random number at the time, to determine the special symbol to determine display. When the special symbol determined at this time is for the big bonus, the first special winning control state in the above-mentioned big bonus state is generated, and when the special symbol to be confirmed and displayed is for the regular bonus, the above-mentioned regular bonus state The first special winning control state may be generated.

  Similarly, in the second special figure game to be won, a special symbol for winning and a special symbol for deviation are set in advance in the special symbol that is finalized and displayed on the second special figure display 4b at the end of the second special figure game. Further, a special symbol for generating the first special winning control state and a special symbol for generating the second special winning control state may be set in the winning special symbol.

  The special symbols for generating the first special winning control state based on the second special symbol game include, for example, the special symbol for the maximum repetition condition and the special symbol for the minimum repetition condition (surprise) or limited repetition. A special symbol for state may be set in advance.

Further, the special symbol for generating the second special winning control state based on the second special symbol game may be set in advance with the special symbol for the minimum repeating condition and the special symbol for the limited repeating condition. .
That is, when the first special figure game is a win and a plurality of types of first special winning game states are generated, the types are distributed according to the special symbols that are confirmed and displayed after the first special figure game is changed. Similarly, when the second special figure game is a win and a plurality of types of first and second special winning game states occur, the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed after the change of the 200 million figure game has ended. Sort the type.

In the following description, when the first special figure game is won, only the first special winning control state occurs. Further, the first condition such as the number of rounds in the first special winning control state at this time is only one of the above-mentioned maximum repetition conditions.
Further, when the second special figure game is won, either the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state is distributed and generated. Then, the first condition such as the number of rounds in the first special winning control state based on the second special figure game has two conditions, the above-mentioned maximum repetition condition and the minimum repetition condition. Selected.

  The symbol control device 26 of the sub-control unit 24 controls the variable display device 3 and the universal display device (LED display device) 6, and the variable display device 3 is connected via the video display processor 261. Has been. Further, the variable display device has passed the variable display time (first and second notification times) since the first special game and the second special game as the first and second special game described above. At this time, the result of the first and second special lotteries of the main controller 231 is notified and functions as first and second notification means.

Here, as will be described later, the variable display device 3 makes a display that is a hit when the first winning control state occurs as a special game state, and is a so-called certain change state (here, the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game). (A state in which the given state is met) is displayed as a special combination indicating the number of occurrences of the decorative symbol.
In addition, the result of a win / fail game in the normal map display device 6 is also determined by a lottery process performed by the main control device 231, and the display is controlled based on the result.

  The lamp control device 27 of the sub-control unit 24 is provided on the front frame that supports the board-related electrical decoration (LED) 271 provided on the board surface of the gaming board 1 and the gaming board 1 of the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, a frame door-related electrical decoration 272 such as a glass frame that covers the front surface of the game board 1 is connected to control the effects of LEDs, lamps, and the like.

  The lamp control device 27 is connected to the first and second special figure hold number display lamps 7a and 7b and the universal figure hold number display lamp 10, which display the number of hold by controlling the turning on and off of the LEDs. It is possible.

  The sound control device 28 is connected to a sound generation device 281 including a sound processor, an amplifier, a speaker, and the like, and the sound control device 28 controls output of effect sound, voice, music, and the like for production.

  From the above, the main control device 231 determines the opening / closing variation in the special variation winning device 8 as the special winning control state, the number of repetitions (rounds) of the opening / closing variation, and the period during which the opening / closing variation is in the open state. The first condition is at least one of the first special winning control state controlled based on one condition and the opening / closing fluctuation in the special fluctuation winning device 8 and the number of repetitions of the opening / closing fluctuation and the period during which the opening / closing fluctuation occurs. A second special winning control state that can be controlled based on the second condition that is further reduced, and the first special winning control state when the first special lottery is given by the first starting winning opening When the second special lottery is given by the second start winning opening and the winning is given, it is assigned to either the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state. Functions as special pay control decision means for generating a special pay control state.

  Further, the main control device 231 has a probability that when the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state are finished, the result of the first special lottery and the second special lottery is more than the normal state. Based on the occurrence of the raised first advantageous game granting state and the occurrence of the special winning control state including the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state set in advance from the normal state. Thus, after the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state ends, the first advantageous game granting means for setting the normal state without generating the first advantageous game granting state is functioned.

  In addition, the main controller 231 increases the chance that the normal prize-winning device is in the start opening state from the normal state in parallel with the first advantageous game granting state only when the first special winning control state is finished. It functions as a second advantageous game giving means for generating a second advantageous game giving state.

  In the following, a special winning control state in which the main controller 231 controls the generation and termination of the first special winning control state, the second special winning control state, the first advantageous game granting state, and the second advantageous game granting state, and the advantageous The game grant state start / end process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that this process is repeated in a very short time.

  First, it is determined whether or not the winning first special figure game is over (step S1). When the winning first special figure game is over, a first special winning control state is generated in which the control is performed under the first condition that results in the maximum repetition state (step S2).

  In this case, as described above, the special variation solenoid 241 is controlled so that the special variation prize-winning device 8 is in an open state, and is blocked when either eight game balls are won or 30 seconds have elapsed since the release state. Until the number of rounds reaches 15, the first special prize control is separately performed under the maximum repetition condition of repeating the opening state again.

  When the first special prize control state is generated, 1 is added to the value of the special prize counter (step S3), and the process is terminated.

Next, when the winning first special figure game is not finished, it is determined whether or not the winning second special figure game is finished (step S4).
If the winning second special figure game is over, whether or not the special symbol as a stop symbol that is confirmed and displayed when the second special figure game is finished next is for the first special winning control state (first 2 (for special winning control state) is determined (step S5).

When the special symbol that has been stopped and displayed is for the first special winning control state, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is for the maximum repetition condition (for the minimum repetition condition) (step S6).
If the stop symbol that is confirmed and displayed is for the maximum repetition condition, the first special winning control state is generated under the maximum repetition condition (step S7). Also in this case, the first special winning control is separately performed under the maximum repetition condition as described above.
Then, the process proceeds to step S3.

Further, when the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed in step S6 is for the minimum repetition condition, the first special winning control state is generated under the minimum repetition condition (step S8). In this case, as described above, the special variation solenoid 241 is controlled so that the special variation prize-winning device 8 is in an open state, and is blocked when either eight game balls are won or two seconds have elapsed since the release. The first special prize control is separately performed under the minimum repetition condition that repeats the open state again until the number of rounds becomes two.
Then, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S5, if the special symbol confirmed and displayed is for the second special winning control state, the second special winning control state is generated under the minimum repetition condition (step S9).
At this time, the second special prize control state is separately controlled under the above-mentioned minimum repetition condition.
Then, the process proceeds to step S3.

Next, if it is not the end of the second special figure game that is won in step S4, it is determined whether or not the first special winning control state is ended (step S10).
When the first special winning control state is finished, it is determined whether or not the special winning counter has reached 7 (step S11).

  If the special prize counter has reached 7, an independent second advantageous game granting state is generated (step S12), assuming that the special winning control state that is the upper limit number has occurred. In this case, until the first special figure game and the second special figure game are executed 100 times in total, the so-called time-short state is set as the so-called short-time state, and the second advantageous game granting control for increasing the chance that the normally variable winning device 53 is in the open state is performed. Do it separately.

Then, after the special prize counter is cleared to 0, the process is terminated (step S13).
In step S10, if the special prize counter is less than 7, when the first special prize control state ends, both the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state are generated ( Step S14) and the process is terminated.

  In this case, until the next special winning control state occurs, the probability of the normal state (for example, 1/286) that wins in the lottery of the first and second special figure games is the high probability state. In the 1 advantageous game grant state, for example, it is increased from 4 times to 10 times (for example, 1/68), the first advantageous game grant state control, and the opportunity for the normally variable winning device 53 to be in the open state as described above. 2nd advantageous game provision control which increases is increased.

Next, when it is not determined in step S10 that the first special winning control state is to be ended, it is determined whether or not the second special winning control state is to be ended (step S15).
When the second special prize control state is finished, it is determined whether or not the special prize counter has reached 7 (step S16).
If the special prize counter has reached 7, when the second special prize control state ends, a single normal state that does not include the second advantageous game grant state is generated (step S17).

Then, after the special prize counter is cleared to 0, the process is terminated (step S18).
When the special winning counter is less than 7, when the second special winning control state is finished, an independent first advantageous game granting state not accompanied by the second advantageous game granting state is generated (step S19). The process ends.

  Here, both the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state are generated after the first special winning control state, and the second advantageous game grant state is not accompanied after the second special winning control state. The generation of the one advantageous game granting state generates a so-called probability change state in which the control in the first advantageous game granting state and the second advantageous game granting state are met after the first special winning control state, and the second special winning control This is synonymous with generating a high-probability state in which a so-called short-time control is removed from a so-called probability change control after the state.

  Next, as described above, in the second advantageous game control state in which the chance that the normally variable winning device 53 is in the open state is increased from the normal state, an exceptional state (game) Only the first special game is played except when the game ball launched on the board bounces in an unexpected direction), and the state other than the second advantageous game control state (the first as described above) In the special winning control state, it is assumed that a right-handed game is performed), and the flow of the game when only the second special figure game is performed except for an exceptional state by performing a normal method is shown in FIG. 4 and the flowchart of FIG.

  First, for example, when the memory of the main controller 231 (for example, the RAM 23c) stored by the auxiliary power supply is cleared and the power is turned on, the gaming state becomes the normal state described above. In this case, as described above, the second special game is sequentially performed based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 51.

The count value of the special prize counter at this time is zero.
Further, when the above-mentioned special winning counter reaches the upper limit value 7, that is, when the special winning control state is generated for the upper limit number of times in the special game from the normal state, the first advantage is obtained after the special winning control state. In the control to prevent the game granting state from being generated, the remaining number of times to generate the first advantageous game granting state after the special winning control state in the normal state is 7, and the count value of the remaining number counter that counts this remaining number is 7 (step S31).

Here, it is determined whether or not the second special figure game is a win (step S32), and a standby state is made for the second special figure game to be a win.
Then, when the second special figure game is won, whether or not the next special prize control state generated based on the second special figure game is the first special prize control state (whether it is the second special prize control state) Is determined (step S33).

In the case of the second special prize control state, a game is performed in the second special prize control state. At this time, the count value of the special prize counter is incremented by 1, and the count value of the remaining number counter is 1. 1 is subtracted to 6. (Step S34).
Then, when the second special winning control state is completed, the single first advantageous game grant state is set (step S35).

In this state, since the second advantageous game granting state has not occurred, the second special game is sequentially performed again.
Then, it is determined whether or not the second special figure game is won (step S36), and a standby state is made until the second special figure game is won.

  Here, if the second special prize control state is selected continuously when the second special figure game is won, the special prize control state generated based on the winning second special figure game again. Is determined whether it is in the first special prize control state (second special prize control state) or not (step S37), the second special prize control state is generated, and the count value of the special prize counter is incremented by 1 to 2 The count value of the remaining number counter is decremented by 1 to 5 (step S38). And it will be in the independent 1st advantageous game provision state which does not accompany a 1st advantageous game provision state (step S39).

  Thereafter, the second special figure game win determination (step S40), the first or second determination of the special winning control state (step S41), the occurrence of the second special winning control state, the special winning counter 3, the remaining number counter 4 (step S42) It becomes the independent 1st advantageous game provision state (step S43).

  Also, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S44), the determination of whether the special winning control state is the first or second (step S45), the occurrence of the second special winning control state, the special winning counter 4, the remaining number counter 3 (step S46) It becomes a single first advantageous game granting state (step S47).

  Also, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S48), the determination of whether the special winning control state is the first or second (step S49), the occurrence of the second special winning control state, the special winning counter 5, the remaining number counter 2 (step S50) It becomes a single first advantageous game granting state (step S51).

  Also, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S52), the determination of whether the special winning control state is the first or second (step S53), the occurrence of the second special winning control state, the special winning counter 6, the remaining number counter 1 (step S54) becomes a single first advantageous game grant state (step S55).

  Further, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S56), the determination of the first or second special winning control state (step S57), the occurrence of the second special winning control state, the special winning counter 7, the remaining number counter 0 (step S58). Here, seven special winning control states have occurred from the normal gaming state, and the first advantageous game granting state does not occur after the second special winning control state ends. Further, since the second advantageous game grant state does not occur after the end of the second special prize control state, the process returns to step S31.

  Thus, when the second special winning control state occurs continuously from the normal state up to the upper limit number of times, all the special winning control states are set under the minimum repetition condition. Therefore, even if the special winning control state is entered, a so-called sudden probability change (surprise) state is obtained. In addition, the second advantageous game grant state does not occur after the special winning control state, and only the first advantageous game grant state occurs, so that the game ball does not win the first start winning opening 55 as described above. Since the second special figure game is generated by winning the game ball in the second start winning opening 51 where the winning rate is not high, the number of executions of the special figure game per unit time is small. Therefore, even if the probability of hitting the special game becomes high in the first advantageous game grant state, the number of hits of the special game per unit time is not so large. There is a high possibility that no one hour will be generated.

  From the above, even if it becomes the first advantageous game grant state until the special winning control state occurs seven times as the upper limit number of times, in the state where the first special winning state does not occur and the second special winning state continuously occurs, The player can only see a state in which there is a lot of continuity, not an advantageous state.

On the other hand, it is determined in step S33 whether or not it is in the first special prize control state. When the first special prize control state is entered, the first special prize control state is generated, and the count value of the special prize counter is incremented by 1 from 0. 1 and the count value of the remaining number counter is decremented by 1 from 7 to 6 (step S59).
When the first special winning control state ends, both the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state occur (step S60).

  In this state, the normally variable prize-winning device 53 is frequently opened, and game balls are frequently won at the first start prize-winning port 55. Further, since the player hits the right hand with the normal variation winning device 53 and the normal start port 9 on the right side of the variable display device 3, the game ball does not substantially win the second start winning port 51. Basically, only the first special figure game (with possible exceptions) is started. Here, it is assumed that only the first special figure game is performed in this state.

Accordingly, since the first special figure game is sequentially performed, it is next determined whether or not the first special figure game is won (step S61), and the first special figure game is in a standby state. It becomes.
When the first special figure game is won, the first special prize control state occurs, the count value of the special prize counter is incremented from 1 to 1, and the count value of the remaining number counter is 6. 1 is subtracted from the result to 5 (step S62).

When the first special prize control state ends, both the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state occur (step S63).
Thereafter, similarly, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S64), the occurrence of the first special winning control state, the special winning counter 3, the remaining number counter 4 (step S65) the first advantageous game granting state and the second advantageous A game grant state (step S66) is entered.

Also, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S67), the occurrence of the first special winning control state, the special winning counter 4, the remaining number counter 3 (step S68) the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state (Step S69).
Also, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S70), the occurrence of the first special winning control state, the special winning counter 5, the remaining number counter 2 (step S71) the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state (Step S72).

Also, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S73), the occurrence of the first special winning control state, the special winning counter 6, the remaining number counter 1 (step S74) the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state (Step S75).
Further, the winning determination of the second special figure game (step S76), the occurrence of the first special winning control state, the special winning counter 7, and the remaining number counter 0 (step S77) are obtained.

  Here, since the special winning counter 7 and the remaining number counter 0 are reached, when the first special winning control state ends, the first advantageous game grant state does not occur, and only the second advantageous game grant state occurs. (Step S78). Further, the second advantageous game grant state ends, for example, when the number of executions of the special figure game is 100 and returns to the normal state of step S31.

In addition, when winning in the single second advantageous game granting state before the normal state is reached (step S79), since it is a winning in the first special figure game, the first special winning control state is not entered, and the first special winning control state is not achieved. The winning control state is entered and the process proceeds to step S59.
Further, when the predetermined period ends without hitting the first special figure game, the process returns to step S31 to be in a normal state.

  That is, the main controller 231 as the second advantageous game giving means includes the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state in which the first advantageous game giving means is preset to the upper limit number of times from the normal state. Based on the occurrence of the special winning control state, the second advantageous game is played until a predetermined end condition is satisfied when the normal state is established without generating the first advantageous game granting state after the first special winning control state. After the application state, the normal state is obtained.

  From the above, in the normal state, when the second special figure game is won and the first special winning control state is generated, the first special winning control state is generated seven times (upper limit number) continuously, Since the second advantageous game granting state always occurs after the first special winning control state, the number of executions per unit time of the first special figure game increases, and the number of winning game balls to the first starting winning opening increases. As a result, the number of payout balls (game balls) corresponding to winnings increases, and the number of game balls when playing a game without being in the special winning control state can be reduced, so that the number of game balls is reduced. It is possible to continue the game without (possibly increasing).

  In addition, since the number of times of execution of the first special figure game per unit time is increased, the probability of the first special figure game per unit time is increased in the first advantageous game grant state, and the increase in the number of executions is also possible. Enhanced. As a result, the first special game is executed in both the first advantageous game grant state and the second advantageous game grant state as compared to the case where the second special game is sequentially executed in the single first advantageous game grant state. In the case of sequential execution, the number of hits per unit time increases, and the special winning control state that becomes the upper limit number of times can be generated earlier.

  In addition, the first special winning control state that occurs for the first time from the normal state is based on the second special figure game, so that the maximum repetition condition described above, that is, the number of game balls that the player can acquire is 15 rounds. Whether the first special winning control state occurs or whether the above-mentioned minimum repetition condition, that is, the two-round first special winning control state in which the player can hardly acquire the game ball, is distributed. Since the first special winning control state until the upper limit number of times is generated based on the first special figure game, all are in the first special winning control state under the maximum repetition condition, and the player has a promising big hit. You will feel that it has continued.

  Even if the first special winning control state from the normal state is the second special winning control state, the first special winning control state and the second special winning control state when the second special figure game is won. When the special winning control state that is the second time from the normal state becomes the first special winning control state in the distribution with the winning control state (step S37), thereafter, the first special game is played in the same manner as described above. Only the first special winning control state is generated without the second special winning control state being generated, and the winning state is achieved. That is, after the occurrence of one second special winning control state, the first special winning control state is generated six times in succession, and the second advantageous game granting state is generated after each first special winning control state.

In step S40, when the special winning control state that is the third time from the normal state becomes the first special winning control state, the first special winning control state is generated five times after the second special winning state is generated twice from the normal state. A special winning control state will occur.
In step S44, when the special winning control state that is the fourth time from the normal state becomes the first special winning control state, the first special winning control state is generated four times after the second special winning state is generated three times from the normal state. A special winning control state will occur.

In step S48, when the special winning control state that is the fifth time from the normal state becomes the first special winning control state, the first special winning control state is generated three times after the second special winning state is generated four times from the normal state. A special winning control state will occur.
In step S52, when the special winning control state that is the sixth time from the normal state becomes the first special winning control state, the first special winning control state is generated twice after the second special winning state is generated five times from the normal state. A special winning control state will occur.

  In step S56, when the special winning control state that is the seventh time from the normal state becomes the first special winning control state, the first special winning control state is generated only once after the second special winning control state is generated six times from the normal state. A special winning control state will occur, but after the first special winning control state ends, the normal state is not reached, but the second advantageous gaming state is entered for a predetermined period, and the first special game is played. As described above, there is a possibility that the first special winning control state is generated seven times in succession.

  In this example, since the normal state occurs when the power is turned on as described above, the mode is set to the morning mode, and the single first advantageous game grant state is substantially the longest stay time (game time). In the case of both the mode, the first advantageous game granting state and the second advantageous game granting state, the heaven mode in which the first special winning control state frequently occurs, and the single second advantageous game granting state is the first of the maximum repetition conditions. Since the special winning control state is likely to occur the maximum number of times, the chance mode is set. In the heaven mode, as described above, the number of the first special winning control state that is continuously generated depends on how many times the special winning control state is changed from the normal state to the first special winning control state. It can be divided into 7-unit mode, 6-unit mode, 5-unit mode, 4-unit mode, 3-unit mode, 2-unit mode, and single mode.

  Further, in the normal state, when the second special figure game is won, the distribution ratio of whether to enter the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state, and the first advantageous game grant state In this example, the distribution ratio of whether to enter the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state when the two special figure game is won is different.

  For example, in the normal state (morning mode), the rate of being assigned to the second special winning control state (staying in the normal mode) is 33%, and the rate being assigned to the first special winning control state (shifting to heaven mode) Is 67%. Further, in the first special prize winning control state, the allocation rate that becomes the above-mentioned minimum repetition condition (2 rounds) is 33%, and the allocation rate that becomes the maximum repetition condition (15 rounds / full) is 34%. Has been.

  On the other hand, in the single first advantageous game granting state, the rate of being distributed to the second special winning control state (staying in the normal mode) is 10%, and being distributed to the first special winning control state (transition to heaven mode) The rate is 90%. In addition, in the first special winning control state, the allocation rate that becomes the above-mentioned minimum repetition condition (2 rounds) is 45%, and the allocation rate that becomes the maximum repetition condition (15 rounds / full) is 45%. Has been.

  In such a setting, the probability that the second special figure game hits the normal state (morning one mode) and becomes the first special winning control state is, for example, approximately 2/3, which is not so high. The probability that the second special figure game is won from the first advantageous game granting state and the first special winning control state is reached is, for example, 9/10, which is considerably high.

  In this case, there is not much possibility that both the first advantageous game granting state and the second advantageous game granting state will occur in the normal state when the second special figure game hits and becomes the first special winning control state. Although it is not high, when the normal mode is entered and the second special figure game is won, the first special winning control state will occur at a relatively early time, and so-called 7-run mode is generated so much. Although it is not easy to do, the heaven mode is likely to occur at a relatively early time after the seven-unit mode such as the six-unit mode or the five-unit mode.

Further, for example, the distribution ratio may be different from that in the above case, for example.
In the normal state (morning mode), the rate of distribution to the second special winning control state (staying in the normal mode) is 50%, and the rate of distribution to the first special winning control state (shifting to heaven mode) is 50%. %. In addition, in the first special winning control state, the distribution rate that becomes the above-mentioned minimum repetition condition (2 rounds) is 25%, and the distribution rate that becomes the maximum repetition condition (15 rounds / full) is 25%. Has been.

  On the other hand, in the single first advantageous game granting state (normal mode), the distribution rate to the second special winning control state (staying in the normal mode) is 80%, and the first special winning control state is allocated to the first special winning control state ( (Transition to heaven mode) is 20%. In addition, in the first special prize winning control state, the allocation rate that becomes the above-mentioned minimum repeat condition (2 rounds) is 10%, and the allocation rate that becomes the maximum repeat condition (15 rounds / full) is 10%. Has been.

  In this case, in the normal state (morning one mode), there is a 50% possibility of the first special winning control state, but in the first advantageous game granting state (normal state), the first special winning control state There is only a 20% possibility. In this case, the above-mentioned 7-continuous mode is likely to occur, but the 6-continuous mode to the single-shot mode is unlikely to occur, and the first advantageous game granting state is not necessarily advantageous to the player, but becomes the normal mode, On the other hand, in the normal state, if the probability that the special figure game is won is lower than the first advantageous game granting state, the probability that the first special winning control state occurs is higher than the normal mode, and the heaven mode This is a morning mode for morning service that is advantageous to a player who easily shifts to the heaven mode at the time of opening the store when the game is not played after the power is turned on. If the memory is not cleared when the power is turned on, the game is started from the state of closing the previous day, and the morning service is not performed.

  From the above, the main control device 231 as the special winning control determining means wins the second special lottery (second special game) performed based on the winning of the game ball in the second starting winning opening 51. In this case, whether the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state is generated is assigned based on a predetermined distribution probability, and the second special lottery is won in a normal state. The distribution probability is different between the case and the case where the first special game grant state is won in the second special lottery.

  Here, the allocation rate in the first special winning control state in the normal state is clearly higher than the allocation rate in the first special winning control state in the first advantageous game granting state, and the pachinko gaming machine By turning on the power in the memory-cleared state after turning off the power, it is possible to implement a morning service that easily turns into heaven mode when a special game is drawn when the store opens.

  However, here, the distribution ratio of the first special winning control state in the normal state is set to two for power-on and for the end of the special winning control state that is the upper limit number of times, and the normal state when the power is turned on The distribution rate in the first special winning control state is clearly higher than the distribution rate in the first special winning control state in the first advantageous game granting state, and the normal number after the end of the special winning control state that becomes the upper limit number of times The allocation rate in the first special winning control state for the state may be substantially equal to or lower than the allocation rate in the first special winning control state in the first advantageous game granting state.

For example, the distribution rate in the first special winning control state for the normal state when the power is turned on is 70%, and the distribution rate in the second special winning control state is 30%.
Further, the distribution rate in the first special winning control state for the normal state after the end of the special winning control state that is the upper limit number is set to 40%, and the distribution rate in the second special winning control state is set to 60%. .
Further, the allocation rate in the first special winning control state for the first advantageous game granting state is set to 50%, and the allocation rate in the second special winning control state is set to 50%.

  In the normal state when the power is turned on after the memory is cleared (second normal game state), the distribution ratio for power-on in the normal state described above is used. In this case, there is a higher possibility that the first special winning control state will occur than in the second special winning control state, and this will be the morning service.

Even if the power is not turned on, the normal state (first normal gaming state) returns to the normal state when the upper limit number of special winning control state occurs from the normal state. Since the fraction is set low, it is not more advantageous than the first advantageous game grant state. On the other hand, in the morning service, the game can be started from a state where there is a high possibility that the first special winning control will occur after the power is turned on.
It should be noted that the first special winning control may be likely to occur according to a history of a predetermined number of games (for example, the number of lotteries based on winning). In this case, it can be utilized as a ceiling function for providing a service to a player who has not been a big hit (giving some service when the number of lotteries that do not make a hit becomes the predetermined number of ceilings).

  From the above, the main control device 231 as the special winning control determining means wins the second special lottery (second special game) performed based on the winning of the game ball in the second starting winning opening 51. When the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state is generated, the distribution is made based on a pre-set distribution probability, and the second special lottery hits the normal state. The first special winning control state occurs when the first normal gaming state where the allocation probability that the first special winning control state occurs becomes a predetermined probability and the second special lottery is won. A second normal gaming state in which the distribution probability is higher than the predetermined probability, the game is started from the second normal gaming state as a normal state when the power is turned on, and the special winning control state of the upper limit number of times has occurred Based on before Will be provided with normal gaming state selecting means for the first normal game state when said normal state after special pay control state ends.

  In this pachinko gaming machine, when the above-described 7-continuous mode (when the first special winning control state is generated seven times in succession) is generated in the special game, the decoration pattern of the variable display device 3 is displayed. As a fixed display (stop symbol) for notifying the winning in the variable display game, 7 double eyes (for example, 7, 7, 7) are displayed, and 6 double eyes (for example, 6, 6) when winning in the 6-unit mode. 6, 6) is displayed, and when the winning is in the 5-unit mode, the 5th order is displayed (for example, 5, 5, 5), and when the winning is in the 4-unit mode, the 4th order is selected (for example, 4, 4, 4) is displayed, and when the winning is in the triple mode, the third round is displayed (for example, 3, 3, 3), and when the winning is in the double mode, the second For example, 2, 2, 2) is displayed, and if the winning mode is a single shot, In example, 1, 1, 1) is displayed.

  In the second special figure game, when the first special winning control state occurs, the minimum repeat condition (when two rounds are probable) and the maximum repeat condition (15 rounds) When there is a minimum repetition condition, the display is not performed with a double eye, and the display without a double eye (for example, 2, 3, 4 that is a sequential number, or 7 that is a reach) , 1, 7, or 5, 3, 7, etc., which are neither serial numbers nor reach). In addition, when the second special figure game is won and the second special winning control state is entered, the above-described display is performed without displaying the double-eye.

This makes it difficult for the player to know that the player has won the second special figure game in the case of a so-called surprise.
Note that the special symbol as the stop symbol that is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol game on the second special symbol display 4b is the special symbol for the first special winning control state under the minimum repetition condition and the first symbol under the maximum repetition condition. Since the special symbol for the special winning control state and the special symbol for the second special winning control state are set, the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed on the second special symbol display 4b as a result of the second special symbol game. When the player knows the type, the special symbol displayed on the second special figure display 4b is displayed, and the maximum repeat condition is determined by the occurrence of the first special winning control state of the minimum repeat condition. It is possible to know immediately before the occurrence of the first special winning control state whether the first special winning control state or the second special winning control state with the minimum repetition condition is generated.

The fixed display control process as described above is repeatedly performed every short period by the symbol control device 26. Hereinafter, the fixed display control process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, it is determined whether or not the second special figure game to be won is started (step S91), and if it is started, the second special figure game displayed on the second special figure display 4b is confirmed. It is determined whether or not the displayed special symbol is a special symbol for the first special winning control state (whether it is a special symbol for the second special winning control state) (step S92).

It should be noted that the timing at which the second special symbol game is started and the special symbol information that is finalized and displayed in the second special symbol game are transmitted from the main controller 231 to the symbol controller when the second special symbol game is started. 26 is transmitted as a command.
If the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed is for the first special winning control state, it is next determined whether this special symbol is for the maximum repetition condition or not (for the minimum repetition condition) (step S93).

In the case of the maximum repetition condition, the count value of the above-mentioned remaining number counter included in the command from the above-described main control device 231 is read (step S94).
Next, the decorative symbol displayed in the second special symbol game, which is the winning game, is displayed as the symbol of the decorative symbol indicating the numerical value that is the count value of the remaining number counter as the symbol displayed in the variable display game of the decorative symbol. Set (step S95), the process ends.

  When it is determined in step S92 that the special symbol confirmed and displayed on the second special symbol display 4b in the second special symbol game is the special symbol for the second special winning control state, and in step S93, the minimum repetition condition If it is determined that the symbol is a special symbol for the first special winning control state, a decorative symbol for a definite display that does not become the above-mentioned flat eye is set (step S96), and the process ends.

If it is not the start of the winning second special game in step S91, it is next determined whether or not the winning first special game is started (step S97). If it is not started, the process is terminated.
When the first special figure game is started, the first special winning control state is generated, and the process proceeds to step S94.

In the final display control process, the decorative symbol (stopped symbol) to be finalized is determined, and when the special figure game ends next, the decorative symbol determined as described above is finalized and displayed. Become.
With the above processing, when the first special winning control state occurs so as to accompany the second advantageous game granting state, a numerical value indicating the number of repetitions is displayed on the variable display device 3 with a flat eye. When the player sees the number of the decorative symbol displayed with a flat eye, the first special winning control under the maximum repeating condition including the first special winning control state under the maximum repeating condition that occurs immediately after that Can be generated in the probability variation state as many times as indicated by the number displayed in a flat eye.

Therefore, the player is glad to see that there is a possibility that a larger number of game balls can be obtained as the number displayed in the double-eyes is closer to the upper limit number of times, for example, closer to 7, while viewing the display of the double-eye. In other words, it has a stronger impression than the numerical value displayed in the past when hitting.
Thereby, it becomes a very impressive game, and the operating rate of the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment in the game store can be increased.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine has identification information including a number as a natural number that is equal to or less than the upper limit number of times as a result of the first special lottery (first special game) and the second special lottery (second special game). Is displayed in a plurality of display areas, respectively, and includes a symbol control device 26 and a variable display device 3 as display means for displaying as a combination of the identification information, and the main control device 231 as the first advantageous game giving means is Each time one of the one special winning control state and the second special winning control state occurs and ends, the remaining number of the upper limit number is determined by repeating 1 subtraction from the numerical value that is the upper limit number. Number display means, and the display means each displays a number that becomes the remaining number calculated by the remaining number calculation means as a result of generating the first special winning control state of the second special lottery. It will be displayed as the identification information on the band.

  When the first special figure game is won in the single second advantageous game granting state started at the end of the first special winning control state, which is the seventh time as the above-mentioned chance time, the symbol as a display means As described above, the control device 26 and the variable display device 3 display the number (7) that is the upper limit number of times with a flat eye.

  In addition, the movement of a game ball in a well-known gaming machine is simulated on the display screen, and the winning of the game ball at the winning opening is determined, and the player's winning game corresponding to the launching and winning of the game ball In the program for calculating the number of balls and simulating the game, the present invention also includes a program that can be executed by a computer by adding the processing of the control system in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention. A computer-readable recording medium storing the program is also included in the present invention.
