Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which, when a winning display result is displayed in a symbol variation game, a winning game is given, and a winning means that allows a game ball to enter during the corresponding game is opened.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some pachinko machines that are a type of gaming machine include a probability variation function that shifts a lottery probability state of a big hit lottery from a low probability lottery state to a high probability lottery state after the big hit game ends. When the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state, it is easy for the player to win a big hit in the big hit lottery, which is advantageous to the player. For this reason, usually, if a player wins a big hit in the big hit lottery and obtains the big hit game, the player wants to be given a high probability lottery state as the gaming state after the end of the big hit game.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine having such a probability variation function, it has been proposed that it is difficult to determine whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery after the end of the big hit game becomes a high probability lottery state. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, a big hit (“sudden probability change”: big hit 4) for the purpose of only changing the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery to a high probability lottery state and a small hit that cannot be distinguished from the big hit are provided. This small hit has a role as a so-called “gase” of four big hits, and the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a low probability lottery state, so it is positioned as a hit where no advantageous state is given to the player. ing. In the following description, “big hit 4” and “small hit” are collectively shown as “hit”.

JP 2006-1116016 A

  In Patent Document 1, since the effect symbol variation pattern when winning “winning (4 big hits and small hit)” is the same pattern, the player can distinguish which winning is based on the variation of the effect design. It is not attached. For this reason, if the player obtains “winning”, he / she continues the game while expecting that “hit” is “big hit 4”. However, although the high probability lottery state in pachinko machines is easier to win big hits than the low probability lottery state, if you do not win the big hit lottery in the high probability lottery state, ) "Cannot be obtained. In addition, even in a high-probability lottery state, it is not always possible to obtain a “hit” immediately, and it is impossible to imagine at what time a “hit” will be obtained.

  For this reason, when “winning” is configured as in Patent Document 1, after the “winning”, the player determines whether the lottery probability state of the big win lottery is a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state. I could not guess anything, and had to continue the game to get a “big hit”. And as mentioned above, even in the high probability lottery state, if it is a pachinko machine that does not know when to win the `` big hit '', even if it is not easy to win the `` big hit '', the reason is the low probability lottery state It cannot be declared that it is. Therefore, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, if it is not easy to win a “big hit” after “winning”, it is impossible to guess whether the lottery probability state is a high-probability lottery state, and the game is continued more than necessary. There was a risk of reducing motivation.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to make it possible to guess the lottery probability state of the winning lottery and determine whether or not to continue the game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can prevent a decrease in gaming motivation.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is directed to display means for performing a symbol variation game for displaying a plurality of types of symbols in a variable manner, and whether or not to trigger the establishment of a start condition. A winning lottery means for performing a winning lottery for lottery, and a lottery probability state control means for controlling a gaming state comprising a lottery probability state of the winning lottery in either a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state, In the case of winning in the lottery, a winning game is given after the winning display result is derived, and in a gaming machine in which a winning means that allows a game ball to enter during the corresponding game is released, Sets a different opening mode as the first high-winning game and the opening mode of the winning means, in which the lottery probability state after the end of the winning game is the high-probability lottery state. The end of the hit game The same high release mode is set as the open mode of the second high-probability winning game and the winning means for setting the high-probability lottery state to the high-probability lottery state, and after the winning game ends The low probability winning game in which the lottery probability state is the low probability lottery state, the first high probability winning game and the winning means are set as the same releasing mode, and the lottery probability at the time of winning the winning game Including maintenance per game that maintains the state even after the game is over, and hit type determination means for determining the type of win when winning the win lottery, and opening and closing of the winning means performed in the win game An effect content pattern determination that determines an effect content pattern from among a plurality of types of effect content patterns that can specify the effect content of the symbol variation game based on the lottery result of the winning lottery And a game control means for causing the display means to execute the symbol variation game with an effect content according to the effect content pattern determined by the effect content pattern determining means, wherein the effect content pattern determining means is the winning lottery When determining the effect content pattern, the pattern determination ratio for each effect content pattern is determined for each of the high-accuracy games of the first high-accuracy game and the second high-accuracy game. The gist is that the high probability game, the low probability game, and the maintenance game are determined differently while being determined identically.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, when the winning lottery is won, the effect content pattern determining means determines the pattern determination ratio for each effect content pattern to each of the high probability hits. The effect content patterns determined to be selectable in the game and the low probability game include those in which the effect content pattern determining means determines the pattern determination rate to be unselectable in the game per maintenance. And

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, in the case where the winning lottery is won, the effect content pattern determining means determines the pattern determination ratio for each effect content pattern. The effect content patterns determined to be selectable in each high-probability game and the game per maintenance include those in which the effect content pattern determining means determines that the pattern determination ratio cannot be selected in the low-probability game. It is a summary.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, when the winning lottery is won, the effect content pattern determining means is configured for each effect content pattern. For all of the effect content patterns that are determined to be selectable in the low probability game or the maintenance game, the effect content pattern determining means can select the pattern determination rate in each high probability game The gist is that

  According to the present invention, the lottery probability state of the winning lottery can be estimated, the player can determine whether or not to continue the game, and the decrease in the game motivation can be suppressed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine which is a kind of gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 schematically shows a pachinko gaming machine 10, and a vertical rectangular middle frame for setting various gaming components on the front side of the opening of an outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The front frame 13 is assembled to the front side of the middle frame 12 so as to be opened and closed and detachable. As shown in FIG. 1, the front frame 13 is assembled so as to overlap the middle frame 12 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front side. The front frame 13 has a window 13a in the center, and an upper plate (storage plate) 14 as a first storage dish that can store game balls serving as game media of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is integrated below the window 13a. It is a molded configuration. On the back side of the front frame 13, a glass support frame (not shown) that protects the game board YB arranged inside the machine and supports glass of a size that covers the window 13a is assembled so as to be detachable and tiltable. . The game board YB is mounted on the middle frame 12. The front frame 13 is provided with an upper lamp portion 15a, a left lamp portion 15b, and a right lamp portion 15c that constitute an illumination display section as an effect execution means (effect device) for performing a light emission effect. . In the front frame 13, a left speaker 16a and a right speaker 16b are arranged at the upper left and right sides of the window 13a as an effect execution means (effect device) that outputs various sounds and produces sound effects.

  A lower tray (storage tray) 17 serving as a second storage tray for storing game balls overflowing from the upper tray 14 is mounted on the front side of the middle frame 12 and at the lower portion of the front frame 13. Also, on the front side of the middle frame 12 and to the right of the lower plate 17, a launch handle 18 for launching a game ball that is turned by the player when launching the game ball onto the game board YB is mounted. ing.

  The game board YB is equipped with various display devices and a display frame body (center accessory) 20 with various decorations. The display frame 20 is formed with an opening 20a for setting (wearing) an effect display device 21 as a display means (effect device) having a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH. The effect display device 21 includes a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are images. It is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 21, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 21 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects.

  The game board YB is provided with a 7-segment special symbol display device 22. In the special symbol display device 22, a symbol variation game is displayed in which a plurality of types of special symbols are varied and displayed. The special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery and small hit lottery) of whether or not to win.

  In the special symbol display device 22, the special symbol variation display is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the effect display device 21 starts displaying the decorative symbols at the same time when the symbol variation game is started, temporarily stops the decorative symbols before the end of the game, and confirms the decorative symbols in each column at the end of the game. Stopped display. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of symbols displayed in the display area defined in the display device that displays the symbols is changing. “Temporary stop display” means that the symbols are shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the special symbol display device 22 and the effect display device 21, a display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and stopped at the same time).

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 22 has a lottery result (big hit, small hit or out of lottery lottery (big hit lottery or small hit lottery)) from a plurality of special symbols (59 types in the present embodiment). ) Is selected, and the selected special symbol is confirmed and stopped when the symbol variation game ends. The 59 types of special symbols include 55 types of big hit symbols (big hit display result (hit display result)) that can recognize big hits, and three types of small hit symbols (small hits) that can recognize small hits. Display results (hit display results)) and one type of outlier symbol that becomes a symbol (outlier display result) from which the discrepancy can be recognized. When a big win is won in the big win lottery, the big hit symbol is displayed in a symbol variation game, and then the big hit game (win game) is given to the player. In addition, when a small winning lottery is won in the small hitting lottery, the small hitting symbol (winning game) is given to the player after the small hitting symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game. Note that the big hit game and the small hit game of the present embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 has seven types of numbers, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7] for each column. It is displayed as a decorative pattern. In the present embodiment, the display area (image display surface) of the effect display device 21 is formed much larger than the display area of the special symbol display device 22 so that the effect display device 21 stands out in front of the player. It is arranged. For this reason, the player pays attention to the display content of the effect display device 21 in which the display effect is performed with various images in front of his / her eyes rather than the special symbol display device 22, and in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 21. The winning combination (big hit or small hit) or off is recognized from the symbol combination that is derived and displayed in a fixed stop state. When the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 21 are the same symbol, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result) by a decorative symbol. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns displayed on the effect display device 21 are confirmed and stopped, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. Further, in the effect display device 21 of the present embodiment, the code that can recognize that the big hit or the small win is won by combining the same number symbols displayed in the left and right two rows in the middle row among the three rows. The symbol ([☆ (star)]) is displayed as a decorative symbol. There is a possibility that a symbol combination consisting of a symbol design that can recognize that either the big win or the small win has been won will be given a probability variation state (probability variation state) in which the lottery probability state of the big lottery lotion becomes a high probability lottery state. It becomes a symbol combination of the suggestive change suggestion. In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given in the case of a symbol combination in which the symbols in all the columns are the same symbol, while in the case of the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation, there is a case where the probability variation state is imparted or there is a non-probability variation. There are scenes in which a state is given, and there are also scenes in which either a probability change state or a non-probability change state is given as a gaming state is continued.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in each column in the effect display device 21, when the symbol variation game is started, the ornament symbols are variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). When the symbol variation game is started (when the decorative symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 21. The decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are once stopped and displayed are the same symbol, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, the decorative symbols of the specific columns (left column and right column in the present embodiment) among the plurality of columns are temporarily displayed as the same symbols, and columns other than the specific column (in the present embodiment, the middle column) ) Is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol.

  The effect display device 21 is configured to display a symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 22. The special symbol displayed on the special symbol display device 22 and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 21 correspond to each other. When the symbol variation game ends, the special symbol and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol correspond to each other. The fixed stop is displayed. For example, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 22, as a rule, the big hit symbol combination such as [222] or [444] is also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 21. ing. In the present embodiment, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 22, the symbol combination (for example, [1 * 1]) that suggests the probability change may be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 21. is there. In addition, when the special symbol display device 22 displays the deferred symbols in a fixed stop display, the effect display device 21 also displays the deferred symbol combinations such as [121] and [345] in a fixed stop display. . In addition, when the special symbol display device 22 is confirmed and stopped for the small hit symbol, the effect display suggestion symbol combination (for example, [1 * 1]) is also confirmed and stopped. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and a symbol combination with one decorative symbol is selected from among symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative symbols with respect to one special symbol. Yes. As described above, in the effect display device 21 of the present embodiment, a display effect related to a symbol variation game (a symbol variation game in which symbols in three columns are variably displayed to display a combination of symbols) is performed. .

  Further, the game board YB is provided with a special symbol holding memory display device (starting holding ball number display means) (not shown) provided with a plurality (four in this embodiment) of special symbol holding light emitting units. Then, the special symbol hold storage display device informs the player of the number of start reserved balls for special symbols stored inside the machine (hereinafter referred to as “the number of reserved storage”). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball enters a start winning opening (upper start winning opening 24 and lower start winning opening 25) as starting means, the entered game ball is used as a start holding ball. The number of the starting reserved balls is stored in the machine (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35) as a reserved memory number for a special symbol. The number of reserved symbols for special symbols indicates the number of symbol variable games that are on hold (waiting for symbol variable games). The number of reserved memories for special symbols is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning opening, and decremented by 1 at the start of the symbol variation game. Therefore, when a game ball enters the start winning opening during the symbol variation game, the number of reserved symbols for special symbols is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). Yes.

  Further, the game board YB is provided with a normal symbol display device 23. In the normal symbol display device 23, a normal symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of normal symbols are varied to derive one normal symbol. In the present embodiment, the normal symbol display device 23 is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED type light emitting device. In the normal symbol display device 23, whether or not the winning symbol is determined separately from the winning lottery (big winning lottery or small winning lottery) (whether or not the lower start winning opening 25 is opened by opening and closing blades 26 opening operation) The lottery result of the internal lottery (lottery per map) is displayed. Then, in the normal symbol display device 23 of the present embodiment, when the per symbol is determined by lottery per base symbol, the symbol for the normal symbol consisting of the normal symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the normal symbol variation game. . On the other hand, in the normal symbol display device 23 of the present embodiment, when the normal symbol deviation is determined by lottery per common symbol, the symbol for the normal symbol consisting of the normal symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the normal symbol variation game. .

  In addition, the game board YB is provided with a normal symbol hold storage display device (not shown) provided with a plurality (four in this embodiment) of normal symbol hold light emitting units. Then, the normal symbol on-hold storage display device notifies the player of the number of stored start balls for normal symbol stored in the machine (hereinafter referred to as “the number of on-hold storage”). The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment stores a game ball that has entered the game as a start holding ball when the game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29 disposed on the left side of the display frame 20. The number of starting and holding balls is stored in the machine (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35) as a reserved memory number for normal symbols. The number of reserved memories for normal symbols indicates the number of normal symbol variation games that are on hold (waiting for normal symbol variation games). The number of reserved memories for normal symbols is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29, and is decremented by 1 when the normal symbol variation game is started. Therefore, when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29 during the normal symbol variation game, the number of reserved memories for the normal symbol is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). It has become.

  Further, on the game board YB, an upper start winning port 24 having a game ball entrance 24a and a lower start winning port 25 having a game ball entrance 25a are arranged in the vertical direction. The upper start winning opening 24 is configured such that the entrance 24a is always open so as to allow the entrance of game balls at all times. On the other hand, the lower start winning opening 25 is an ordinary electric accessory, and includes an opening / closing blade 26 as an opening / closing means that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown). Thus, the entrance 25a is opened so as to allow entry of game balls. In other words, the lower start winning opening 25 is configured to make it impossible to enter a game ball unless the opening / closing blade 26 opens to open the entrance 25a.

  At the back of each of the upper start winning opening 24 and the lower start winning opening 25, start opening switches SW1 and SW2 (shown in FIG. 8) for detecting the game balls that have entered are arranged. The upper start winning opening 24 and the lower start winning opening 25 can give a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of winning balls by detecting the game balls that have entered. When the opening / closing blades 26 are opened, the lower start winning opening 25 is made in a state in which the entrance is expanded and the game balls can easily enter, while when the opening / closing blades 26 are closed, the entrance is not expanded and It is assumed that it is impossible to enter the ball.

  Further, the game board YB is provided with a special winning opening (special electric accessory) 28 as a winning means provided with a special winning opening door 27 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) not shown. ing. A count switch SW3 (shown in FIG. 8) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the special winning opening 28. The big winning opening 28 can give a payout condition of game balls as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the game balls that have entered. When the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is given, the big winning opening 28 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 27 and the game ball is allowed to enter. You can get a chance to win a lot of prize balls. In the present embodiment, the winning game is advantageous to the player because a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls can be obtained. The winning game is given when the winning (big hit or small win) is determined by an internal lottery, and the winning symbol (including the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol) is determined and stopped in the symbol variation game. The

  The game board YB is provided with a normal symbol operation gate 29. A normal symbol variation switch SW4 (shown in FIG. 8) for detecting a game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operation gate 29 is provided at the back of the normal symbol operation gate 29. The normal symbol operation gate 29 can give only the starting condition of the normal symbol variation game, triggered by the passage of the game ball.

  In addition, an out-ball opening 30 is formed at the lowermost part of the game board YB to discharge game balls that have been launched into the game board YB and have not entered any of the winning openings to the outside as out-balls. Has been.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability change function sets the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery to a low probability lottery state (in this embodiment, after the jackpot game is completed, provided that the type of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) displayed in a fixed stop state is a predetermined probability variation symbol. 4/1597) to a high probability lottery state (40/1597 in this embodiment). Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting.

  In the present embodiment, a jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the big hit game is a probability variation big hit, and a jackpot that is not given a probability variation state (that is, a non-probability variation state is given) after the big hit game is a non-probability big hit. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, among the 55 types of special symbol jackpot symbols, 35 types of special symbols are set as special symbols (specific symbols) that are probable big hits, and 20 types of special symbols are provided. It is set to a special symbol (non-specific symbol) that becomes a non-probable big hit.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter, referred to as “variable shortening”). The variable function shortens the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game, and the lottery probability state (winning probability per regular symbol) of the normal symbol variation game based on the passage of the normal symbol operation gate 29 is higher than the low probability lottery state. This is a function for giving a variable state changing to a probability lottery state as a privilege. The open / close blades 26 of the lower start winning opening 25 are opened / closed in different operation patterns when winning in the normal symbol variation game, depending on whether the variable state is given or not. It is like that. That is, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is not given, the first and second opening times (for example, 200 ms) after the opening / closing blade 26 is opened for the first number of times (for example, one time). ) It keeps open until it passes. On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is given, the number of times the opening / closing blade 26 opens is increased (for example, three times) to a second number greater than the first number, The opening state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1740 ms) longer than the first opening time elapses after the opening in one opening. In other words, the open / close blade 26 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the variable state is not applied. During the variable speed state, the opening / closing blade 26 operates favorably for the player, and the rate of entry of game balls into the lower start winning opening 25 per unit time is improved. Become. The variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of games is reached. That is, the variable state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached.

  In the present embodiment, the shortage state in which the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 26 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time increasing state. On the other hand, the non-changeable state in which the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 26 after the end of the big hit game is the opening time non-increasing state. In the variable speed state (opening time increasing state), the total time for which the opening and closing blades 26 are opened by one ordinary map increases compared to the non-shortening state.

  Hereinafter, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, “OP time” indicates “opening effect time”, “RND time” indicates “round game time”, and “ED time” indicates “ending effect time”.

  The big hit game is won after winning the big hit in the big hit lottery, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening stage is finished, the round game in which the grand prize opening 28 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 27 is limited to a predetermined number of rounds (upper limit number of rounds) determined in advance (in this embodiment, 16 times or 2 times). ) Multiple times. One round game is based on the condition that either a predetermined round game time elapses after the round game starts or a predetermined maximum number of game balls enter. finish. The big hit game ends with an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game after the end of the predetermined number of round games.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one kind of big hit game is determined from the four types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. . Of the four types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, 55 types of special symbol jackpot symbols are classified into four types: symbol A, symbol B, symbol C, and symbol D, as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the player can determine which of the symbols A, B, C, and D the special symbol is classified by classifying a plurality of special symbols for each of the symbols A, B, C, and D. Make it difficult to recognize.

  The jackpot game based on symbol A (winning seeds) is set to “16 times” for the specified number of rounds, and the jackpot 28 is opened “once” during one round game, so that the big prize game during the jackpot game is opened. 28 is released “16 times (1 round × 16 times open once)”. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the jackpot game based on the pattern A is set to “9 balls”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol A is referred to as “16R probability variable jackpot game”. After the end of the 16R probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability changed state (no limit (until the next big hit)) and the variable state are given until the end of the probability changed state. It is like that. In FIG. 2, the case where the variable state is given until the end of the probability variable state is described as “no limit”.

  Also, in the 16R probability variation big hit game, the opening time is “6.0 seconds (6000 ms)”, the round game time of each round game is “25.0 seconds (25000 ms)”, and the ending time is “11.0 seconds ( 11000 ms) ”is set.

  In the big hit game based on the design B, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the big prize opening 28 is opened “one time” during one round game. Times (1 round x 1 release 2 sets) ". In the present embodiment, the big hit game based on the symbol B is the first high-winning game as a hit type. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the big hit game based on the symbol B is set to “9 balls”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol B may be referred to as a “2R probability variable jackpot game” and may be referred to as a “normal 2R game”. And after the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, after the big hit game is finished, a probability change state and a variable state are given until the end of the probability change state, and the big hit game end There is a case where only the probability variation state is given later.

  In the 2R probability variable big hit game, the opening time is “0.004 seconds (4 ms)”, the round game time of each round game is “0.6 seconds (600 ms)”, and the ending time is “7.0 seconds ( 7000 ms) ”is set.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbols C and D, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “2”, and the first winning round game is targeted for the first (first) round game a plurality of times in the round game (in this embodiment, “3 times”) is opened, and the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened “1 time” during the round game for the second round game. In the present embodiment, the big hit game based on the symbol C is the second high-winning game as a hit type. In the present embodiment, the big hit game based on the symbol D is a low probability hit game as a hit type. In other words, the jackpot game based on the symbols C and D opens the winning prize opening 28 "4 times (1 round x 3 times open 1 set + 1 round x 1 time open 1 set)" during the jackpot game. ing. In addition, the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game in the jackpot game based on the symbols C and D is set to “9 balls”. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol C may be referred to as “special 2R probability variable jackpot game” and may be referred to as “special 2R game”. And after the end of the special 2R probable big hit game, depending on the presence or absence of the variable state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable state and the variable state are given until the end of the probable state after the big hit game ends. In some cases, only a probable change state is given after the big hit game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol D may be referred to as “special 2R non-probable big hit game” and may be referred to as “special 2R game”. Then, after the special 2R non-probable big win game ends, depending on whether or not there is a variable state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, after the big hit game, the non-probable change state and the 100 times (maximum value) symbol variation game will be changed. There are cases where a short state is given and cases where only a non-probable change state is given after the end of the big hit game.

  In the special 2R game, “0.004 seconds (4 ms)” is set as the opening time, and “0.004 seconds (4 ms)” is set as the ending time. Also, in special 2R games, round game times are set for each depending on whether or not there is a variable state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. In the special 2R game, when the winning time is the non-changeable state (no change state), the round game time of the first round game is “17.2 seconds (17200 ms)”. “6.2 seconds (6200 ms)” is set as the round game time of the round game. Also, in special 2R games, if the winning time is variable (with variable state), “10.2 seconds (10200 ms)” is the round game time for the first round game. “6.2 seconds (6200 ms)” is set as the round game time of the round game.

  In addition, the small hit game given by the symbol E is set to “1” for the specified number of rounds, and the big winning opening 28 is opened “2 times” during one round game. The winning opening 28 is opened “twice (1 round × 2 open is one set)”. In the present embodiment, the small hit game based on the symbol E is a maintenance hit game as a hit type. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the small hit game is set to “9 balls”.

  Further, in the small hit, the gaming state after the end of the small hitting game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hitting lottery. In other words, in the small win, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probabilistic state, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is changed. If so, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to the variable state. In addition, in the small win, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in an uncertain change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be in an uncertain change state, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is not If it is in the variable state, the game state after the small hit game is continued to the non-variable state. Hereinafter, the small hit game based on the symbol E may be referred to as a “normal 2R game”.

  In the small hit game, the opening time is “0.004 seconds (4 ms)”, the round game time of the round game is “3.2 seconds (3200 ms)”, and the ending time is “7.0 seconds (7000 ms)”. "Is set.

  Further, in this embodiment, each round game of winning game may be ended when a maximum number of game balls enter. For this reason, the round game time of each round game is the maximum time. On the other hand, during the round game in which the round game time is “17.2 seconds”, “6.2 seconds”, “3.2 seconds”, and “0.6 seconds”, the opening time of the grand prize winning opening 28 is once. The time when the number of game balls entering the grand prize opening 28 in the round game is much less than the maximum number of balls entered during the round game where the round game time is “25 seconds” (“6.2. Seconds "). Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to launch one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. For this reason, it cannot be said that the total opening time of the grand prize opening 28 in the round game is much longer than “5.4 seconds” required to fire nine game balls “6.2 seconds”. In the round game, it will be difficult to enter even if the “9 balls” game balls, which are the maximum number of balls entered, are fired compared to the round game time of “25 seconds”. ing. In a round game where the round game time is “25 seconds”, the total opening time of the grand prize winning opening 28 in each round game is from the time “5.4 seconds” required to fire nine game balls. However, it is practically possible to enter “9 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, by setting the far longer “25 seconds”.

  Hereinafter, with respect to each hit game of the present embodiment, FIG. Further details will be described with reference to FIG. 3 to 5, “OP” indicates “opening”, “ED” indicates “ending”, and “R” such as “1R” and “2R” indicates “round”. Therefore, “1R” indicates the first round game, and “2R” indicates the second round game. In addition, the numbers “1” to “4” shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 indicate the number of times that the special winning opening is opened during one game.

FIG. 3A shows the details of the 2R probability variation big hit game among the normal 2R games.
In the 2R probable big hit game, the opening effect (opening effect time T0 = “4 (ms)”) is first performed with the start of the big hit game, and each round of the first and second rounds after the opening effect ends. Games ("1R" and "2R") are played in order. In the 2R probability variation big hit game, an ending effect (ending effect time T2 = “7000 (ms)”) is finally performed. In each round game of 2R probability variation big hit game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified number of times of opening) of the grand prize opening 28 is set to “2”, and it is one time from the opening of the big prize opening 28 until it is closed. The opening time T1 related to the opening / closing operation is set to “600 (ms)”. In the 2R probability variable big hit game, when one round game is finished, the next round game is started after the elapse of a predetermined interval between rounds. The interval time T3 as the interval period between rounds set after each round game is set to “2000 (ms)”.

  Therefore, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, when the round game starts, the big prize opening 28 is opened for a maximum of “600 (ms)”, and the big prize opening 28 is closed as the opening time T1 elapses. The operation of completing one round game and starting the next round game through an interval between rounds of “2000 (ms)” is repeated for two round games. In the 2R probability variable big hit game, the opening time T1 of the big winning opening 28 becomes the round game time. In FIG. 3A, time T4 indicates the maximum time (“12204 (ms)”) from the start to the end of the 2R probability variation big hit game.

FIG. 3B shows details of the small hit game among the normal 2R games.
In the small hit game, the opening effect (opening effect time T0 = “4 (ms)”) is first performed at the start of the small hit game, and the first round game (“1R”) after the opening effect ends. ) Is performed. In the small hit game, an ending effect (ending effect time T2 = “7000 (ms)”) is finally performed. In the round game of the small hit game, the number of opening / closing operations (prescribed opening number) of the big winning opening 28 is set to “2”, and the opening / closing operation is performed once from the opening of the big winning opening 28 to the closing. The opening time T1 related to is set to “600 (ms)”. The opening time T1 is set to the same time as the opening time T1 set in the 2R probability variable big hit game.

  In the small hit game, the grand prize opening 28 is opened twice in one round game, and when the first opening of the big prize opening 28 is completed, the second opening is started after elapse of a predetermined in-round interval. It is like that. The interval time T3 as the interval period within the round is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T3 is set to the same time as the interval time T3 as the interval period between rounds set in the 2R probability variation big hit game. Further, in the small hit game, when one round game is completed, the next round game is started after a predetermined interval between rounds has elapsed. The interval time T3 as the period of the interval between rounds is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T3 is set to the same time as the interval time T3 as the interval period between rounds set in the 2R probability variation big hit game.

  For this reason, in the small hit game, when the round game starts, the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the first time during “600 (ms)”, and the big prize opening 28 is closed as the opening time T1 elapses. Then, after the intra-round interval of “2000 (ms)”, the special winning opening 28 opens the second time. Then, with the lapse of the opening time T1 based on the opening of the second time, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and one round game is finished, and the ending effect starts after the interval between rounds of “2000 (ms)”. To do. In the small hit game, a round game time is a time (“3200 (ms)”) obtained by adding the two opening times T1 (T1 × 2) of the big winning opening 28 and the one interval time T3. In FIG. 3B, time T4 indicates the maximum time (“12204 (ms)”) from the start to the end of the small hit game. This time T4 is set to the same time as the time T4 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game.

  4 (a) and 5 (a) show details of the special 2R game (special 2R probability variable big hit game and special 2R non-probable big hit game). 4 (a) and 5 (a) show the details of the special 2R game under the condition that the winning time is in an unchangeable state.

  In the special 2R game in this case, the opening effect (opening effect time T0 = “4 (ms)”) is first performed with the start of the big hit game, and the first and second rounds after the opening effect is finished. Each round game ("1R" and "2R") is performed in order. In the special 2R game in this case, an ending effect (ending effect time T8 = “4 (ms)”) is finally performed. In this case, in the first round game of the special 2R game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified number of times of opening) of the big prize opening 28 is set to “3”, and in the second round game, the big prize opening 28 is set. The number of opening / closing operations is set to “1”.

  In the first round game, when the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the first time and the second time, the opening time T1 related to the opening / closing operation from the opening of the big prize opening 28 to the closing time is “600 (ms). ) ”. The opening time T1 is set to the same time as the opening time T1 set in the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game. In FIG. 5, “open 1” is shown. In the first round game, when the big prize opening 28 is opened for the third time, the opening time T5 related to the opening / closing operation from the opening of the big prize opening 28 to the closing time is “5000 (ms)”. Is set. The opening time T5 is set to a time longer than the opening time T1 set in the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game. In FIG. 5, “Open 2” is shown. In the second round game, the opening time T6 related to the opening / closing operation from the opening of the special winning opening 28 to the closing is set to “6200 (ms)”. The opening time T6 is longer than the opening time T1 set for the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game, and is set from the start to the end of the round game. In FIG. 5, “open 3” is shown.

  In the special 2R game in this case, when the grand prize opening 28 is opened three times in the first round game, when the first opening of the big prize opening 28 is completed, 2 is passed after elapse of a predetermined intra-round interval. When the second opening starts and the second opening ends, the third opening starts after the elapse of a predetermined in-round interval. The interval time T3 indicating the period of the in-round interval between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening 28 is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T3 is set to the same time as the interval time T3 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game. In FIG. 5, “interval 1” is shown. The interval time T7 indicating the in-round interval period between the second and third opening of the special winning opening 28 is set to “9000 (ms)”. This interval time T7 is the time from the end of the round game of the second round until the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game or the end of the second release until the end of the small hit game in the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game Is set to the same time (interval time T3 + ending effect time T2). In FIG. 5, “interval 2” is shown.

  In the special 2R game in this case, when the round game of the first round is completed, the round game of the second round starts after a predetermined interval between rounds has elapsed. In this case, the interval time T3 indicating the interval period between rounds in the special 2R game is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T3 is set to the same time as the interval time T3 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game.

  For this reason, in the special 2R game in this case, when the first round game is started, the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the first time during “600 (ms)”, and the elapse time T1 elapses. Accordingly, the special winning opening 28 is closed, and the special winning opening 28 is opened for the second time after an interval in the round of “2000 (ms)”. In addition, with the elapse of the opening time T1 based on the second opening, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and the special winning opening 28 opens the third time after an interval in the round of “9000 (ms)”. Then, with the elapse of the opening time T5 (“5000 (ms)”) based on the third opening, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and the first round game is ended, and “2000 (ms)” is finished. The next round game starts after the interval between rounds. When the round game of the second round is started, the special winning opening 28 is opened for “6200 (ms)”, and as the opening time T6 elapses, the special winning opening 28 is closed and the round game is started. Ending and the ending effect starts after an interval between rounds of “2000 (ms)”.

  In the special 2R game in this case, the opening time T1 (T1 × 2) for two times of the special winning opening 28, the opening time T5 for one time, the interval time T3 for one time, and the interval time for one time. The time when T7 is added is the first round game time. On the other hand, in the special 2R game in this case, in the round game of the second round, the opening time T6 of the special winning opening 28 becomes the round game time. In FIG. 4A, the time T9 is the maximum time (“12204 (ms)”) from the start of the special 2R game in this case until the special winning opening 28 starts the third opening. Show. This time T9 is set to the same time as the time T4 set in the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game. In FIG. 4A, the time T10 is the maximum time (“15200 (ms)”) from the start of the third prize opening 28 to the end in the special 2R game in this case until the end. Show. In FIG. 4A, time T11 indicates the maximum time (“27408 (ms)”) from the start to the end of the special 2R game in this case.

  4B and 5B show details of the special 2R game (special 2R probability variable big hit game and special 2R non-probable big hit game). 4 (b) and 5 (b) show details of the special 2R game under the condition that the winning time is in a variable state.

  In the special 2R game in this case, the opening effect (opening effect time T0 = “4 (ms)”) is first performed with the start of the big hit game, and each of the first and second times after the opening effect ends. Round games ("1R" and "2R") are performed in order. In the special 2R game in this case, an ending effect (ending effect time T8 = “4 (ms)”) is finally performed. In this case, in the first round game of the special 2R game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified number of times of opening) of the big prize opening 28 is set to “3”, and in the second round game, the big prize opening 28 is set. The number of opening / closing operations is set to “1”.

  And in this case, in the special 2R game, in the case of the special 2R game under the condition that the winning time is not changed, the intra-round interval between the second and third opening of the special winning opening 28 Different interval times are set as interval times indicating periods. That is, in the special 2R game in this case, the interval time T3 indicating the in-round interval period between the second and third opening of the special winning opening 28 is set to “2000 (ms)”. This interval time T3 is different from the time from the end of the second round game to the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game or the time from the end of the second release to the end of the small hit game in the normal 2R game. Set to time.

  For this reason, in the special 2R game in this case, when the first round game is started, the grand prize opening 28 is opened for the first time during “600 (ms)”, and the elapse time T1 elapses. Accordingly, the special winning opening 28 is closed, and the special winning opening 28 is opened for the second time after an interval in the round of “2000 (ms)”. In addition, with the elapse of the opening time T1 based on the second opening, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and the special winning opening 28 is opened for the third time through an in-round interval of “2000 (ms)”. Then, with the elapse of the opening time T5 (“5000 (ms)”) based on the third opening, the special winning opening 28 is closed again, and the first round game is ended, and “2000 (ms)” is finished. The next round game starts after the interval between rounds. When the round game of the second round is started, the special winning opening 28 is opened for “6200 (ms)”, and as the opening time T6 elapses, the special winning opening 28 is closed and the round game is started. Ending and the ending effect starts after an interval between rounds of “2000 (ms)”.

  In addition, in the special 2R game in this case, the time obtained by adding the opening time T1 (T1 × 2) for two times of the big prize opening 28, the opening time T5 for one time, and the interval time T3 for two times is one round. Round of game time for the eyes. For this reason, the round game time for the first round in this case is set to a time different from the round game time set for the special 2R game under the condition that the winning time is in an unchangeable state. In FIG. 4B, the time T12 is the maximum time (“5204 (ms)”) from the start of the special 2R game in this case until the special winning opening 28 starts the third opening. Show. This time T12 is set to a time different from the time T4 normally set in the 2R game. The time T12 is set to a time different from the time T9 set for the special 2R game under the condition that the winning time is in the non-variable state. In FIG. 4B, time T13 indicates the maximum time (“20408 (ms)”) from the start to the end of the special 2R game in this case. This time T13 is set to a time different from the time T11 set for the special 2R game under the condition that the winning time is in the non-variable state.

FIG. 6 shows the details of the 16R probability variation big hit game.
In the 16R probable big hit game, the opening effect (opening effect time T14 = “6000 (ms)”) is first performed with the start of the big hit game, and each of the first to 16th rounds after the opening effect is finished. Round games ("1R" to "16R") are performed in order. In the 16R probability variation big hit game, an ending effect (ending effect time T16 = “11000 (ms))” is finally performed. In each round game of 16R probability variable big hit game, the number of opening / closing operations (specified number of times of opening) of the grand prize opening 28 is set to “1”, and it is one time from the opening of the big prize opening 28 until it is closed. The opening time T15 related to the opening / closing operation is set to “25000 (ms)”. Further, in the 16R probability variation big hit game, when one round game is finished, the next round game is started after elapse of a predetermined interval between rounds. The interval time T3 indicating the interval period between rounds set after each round game is set to “2000 (ms)”.

  For this reason, in the 16R probability variable big hit game, when the round game starts, the big prize opening 28 is opened for a maximum of “25000 (ms)”, and the big prize opening 28 is closed as the opening time T15 elapses. The operation of completing one round game and starting the next round game through an interval between rounds of “2000 (ms)” is repeated for 16 round games. In the 16R probability variation big hit game, the opening time T15 of the big prize opening 28 becomes the round game time. In FIG. 6, time T <b> 17 indicates the maximum time (“449000 (ms)”) from the start to the end of the 16R probability variation big hit game.

  In this embodiment, the time T4 (FIG. 3 (a)) from the stop of the fluctuation of the symbol variation game to which the 2R probability variation big hit game is given to the start of the next symbol variation game through the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are calculated. The time T4 (FIG. 3 (b)) from the stop of the change of the given symbol variation game to the start of the next symbol variation game through the small hit game is set to the same time. Further, the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are performed by opening the same big winning opening 28 in the same opening / closing operation mode (opening mode). Therefore, in this embodiment, the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game cannot be discriminated by the player from the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big winning opening 28. That is, the player cannot determine whether the 2R probability variation big hit game or the small hit game is given from the opening / closing operation mode or the time of the big winning opening 28.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the special 2R probability variation jackpot game and the special 2R non-probability variation jackpot game are the same as the special 2R game (from the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 and the variation stop of the symbol variation game that gives the jackpot game) The time until the next symbol variation game starts after the big hit game is set. The special 2R probability variation big hit game and the special 2R non-probability big hit game are performed by opening the same big winning opening 28 in the same opening / closing operation mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, the player cannot discriminate the difference between the special 2R probability variation big hit game and the special 2R non-probability big hit game based on the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big prize opening 28. That is, the player cannot discriminate whether the special 2R probable big hit game or the special 2R non-probable big hit game is given from the opening / closing operation mode or the time of the big winning opening 28.

  Further, in this embodiment, each round game time (FIG. 3 (a)) in the 2R probability variable big hit game is the round game time (FIGS. 4 (a) and (b)) of each round game in the special 2R game. Is set shorter. Further, in this embodiment, the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of 2R probability variation jackpot game (“600 (ms)”) is the opening of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the special 2R game. It is set shorter than the time ("6200 (ms)" when the first round is released three times) and "6200 (ms)" when the second round is released once. Also, in this embodiment, the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the round game of the small hit game (“1200 (ms)” in the case of two opening), the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the special 2R game The opening time is set to be shorter than “6200 (ms)” when the first round is opened three times, and “6200 (ms)” when the second round is opened once. As a result, in this embodiment, the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 through the normal 2R game (2R probability variable big hit game and small hit game) is a special 2R type game (special 2R positive variable big hit game and special 2R non-probable big hit game). The short opening is shorter than the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 through the game. Further, in this embodiment, the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 through the special 2R game (special 2R probability variable big hit game and special 2R non-variable big hit game) is the normal 2R type game (2R probability variable big hit game and small hit game). ), The long opening is longer than the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28.

  In this embodiment, among the opening / closing operation modes of the special 2R game, the first and second opening / closing operation modes are set to be the same as the opening / closing operation mode in the normal 2R game. Further, in the present embodiment, the time T9 from the stop of the change of the symbol change game to which the special 2R game is given until the third release is started under the condition that the winning time is in the non-changeable state (FIG. 4 (a )) Is set at the same time as the time T4 (FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b)) until the next symbol variation game starts after the variation stop of the symbol variation game which normally gives 2R games. Has been. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the time T12 from the stop of the change of the symbol change game to which the special 2R game is given until the third release is started under the condition that the winning time is in the change state (FIG. 4B). ) Is set at a time different from the time T4 (FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b)) until the next symbol variation game starts after the variation stop of the symbol variation game which normally gives 2R games. ing.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the opening / closing operation mode and time of the special prize opening 28 are not changed until the opening of the third time in the special 2R game and in the normal 2R game under the condition that the winning time is in an unchangeable state. Therefore, the player cannot distinguish the difference. That is, in such a situation, the player cannot determine whether the special 2R game or the normal 2R game has been awarded from the opening / closing operation mode or the time of the special winning opening 28. In addition, in this embodiment, the player can discriminate the difference from the time until the opening of the third time in the special 2R game and in the normal 2R game under the condition that the winning time is variable. It has become. That is, in such a situation, the player can determine from the time whether the normal 2R game or the special 2R game has been granted.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when either the special 2R system game or the normal 2R system game is given and the big winning opening 28 is opened, any of these will cause the normal 2R system game. The opening / closing operation mode is performed at least twice. Further, in the present embodiment, when the special winning game opening 28 is opened as a result of the special 2R game being given, at least four times of opening are performed in the opening / closing operation mode of the special 2R game. That is, in this case, at least four times of the total two times are performed after the two times of the normal 2R game opening / closing operation mode.

  Also, under the condition that the winning time is not changed, in normal 2R games and special 2R games (FIG. 5 (a)), from the start of the big hit game to the time T4 or the time T9 During the period (between “12200 (ms)”), the normal entry effect (the effect during the hit game) is executed. In this normal entry effect, an effect character is displayed as an image on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 21, and either the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is played along with the opening of the special winning opening 28 by the action of the effect character. It is performed in a manner that suggests the provision of. That is, in such a situation, the player cannot discriminate whether the special 2R game or the normal 2R game is given from the effect on the effect display device 21. It should be noted that the player recognizes whether or not the normal 2R game has been given, depending on whether or not the opening of the special winning opening 28 continues (the third opening starts) after the normal rush effect is completed. .

  Subsequently, in the special 2R game (FIG. 5A) under the condition that the winning time is not changed, the special winning opening 28 is between the start of the third opening and the time T10 ("15200 ( ms) ”), the 2R effect at the time of non-change time (effect during game play) is executed. This non-change-time 2R effect is performed in such a manner that an image of the effect character is displayed on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 21, and the special 2R game is given by the action of the effect character. That is, in such a situation, the player will recognize from the effect on the effect display device 21 whether the special 2R game has been granted.

  Also, under the condition that the winning time is variable, the normal 2R game and the special 2R game (FIG. 5 (b)) are made to execute different effects after the opening effect after the big hit game starts. It has become. More specifically, in normal 2R games, the normal exclusive effect (the effect during the hit game) is executed from the start of the big hit game until the time T4 (between "12200 (ms)"). It is like that. This normal exclusive effect displays an effect character on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 21 and informs that the normal 2R game is given by the operation of the effect character, and stays in the effect mode described later when winning. It is performed in a mode for notifying the continuation of the effect mode that has been performed. That is, in such a situation, the player recognizes from the effect on the effect display device 21 that one of the normal 2R games has been awarded.

  On the other hand, in the special 2R game (FIG. 5B), after the big hit game starts and after the opening production until time T12 (between “5200 (ms)”), the special dedicated production (during the winning game) Production). This special special effect displays an effect character on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 21, suggests that the special winning game 28 is opened and the special 2R game is given by the action of the effect character. This is performed in such a manner that the transition to the effect mode (high expectation mode MS) is notified. That is, under such circumstances, the player will recognize from the effect on the effect display device 21 that the special 2R game has been granted.

  Subsequently, in the special 2R game (FIG. 5 (b)), the special winning opening 28 is from the start of the third opening until the time T10 (“15200 (ms)”), and the 2R effect at the time of change ( (Playing during hit game) is executed. This 2R effect at the time of change is performed in such a manner that an image of the effect character is displayed on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 21, and the special 2R game is given by the action of the effect character. That is, in such a situation, the player will recognize from the effect on the effect display device 21 whether the special 2R game has been granted.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the time for the opening effect is allocated to the special 2R game and the normal 2R game, but the immediately preceding effect (in this case, the immediately preceding symbol variation game) is performed without performing anything as the effect. It is displayed continuously for this time. In this regard, if the contents of the opening effect are difficult to discriminate between the special 2R game and the normal 2R game, it is possible to execute some effect if the same effect is used. For example, regarding the opening effects in the special 2R game and the normal 2R game, the contents can be set in accordance with various effects after the opening effect. In this embodiment, the ending effect time is allocated to the special 2R game, but the immediately preceding effect (in this case, the immediately preceding non-variable 2R effect or variable 2R effect) is not executed. It is displayed continuously for hours.

  As a result, when the special winning opening 28 is opened according to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, it is possible to cause the player to guess that either the special 2R game or the normal 2R game has been granted. . For this reason, in this embodiment, when the special winning opening 28 is opened according to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, a game characteristic is created that allows the player to guess whether or not a certain change state is given.

  Subsequently, when the hit game is ended by the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (opening twice), one of the normal 2R games (2R probability variable big hit game and small hit game) is given. The player can make a guess. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a game characteristic is created that allows the player to infer whether or not a probable change state is given at the end of the hit game according to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (opening twice). .

  Subsequently, when the special prize opening 28 is further opened after the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game and the special winning opening 28 is opened by the opening / closing operation mode of the special 2R game, the special 2R game (special 2R probability variation big hit) It is possible to cause the player to guess that either a game or a special 2R non-probable big hit game) has been awarded. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the special winning opening 28 is opened by the opening / closing operation mode of the special 2R system game, a game characteristic is created that allows the player to guess whether or not a certain change state is given. In addition, when the hit game is ended by the opening / closing operation mode of the special 2R type game (the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R type game is two times in addition to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R type game), the special 2R type game (special 2R probability change) is similarly applied. It is possible to cause the player to guess that either the big hit game or the special 2R non-probability big hit game) is given. For this reason, in this embodiment, is the probability variation state given at the end of the hit game according to the opening / closing operation mode of the special 2R game (the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game is 2 times in addition to the opening / closing operation mode 2 times)? It creates a game that lets players guess whether or not.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to cause the player to infer which of the special 2R game and the normal 2R game has been given based on the type of production depending on whether or not the winning time is in a variable state. In the present embodiment, when the big winning opening 28 is opened by the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game under the condition that the winning time is variable, the effect display is performed without checking the subsequent opening / closing operation mode. It is possible to make the player recognize whether the game is a normal 2R game or a special 2R game based on the contents of the device 21. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the special winning opening 28 is opened by the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game under the condition that the winning time is not changed, the subsequent opening / closing operation mode is not confirmed. It is impossible to determine which of the special 2R game and the normal 2R game has been given only from the contents of the effect display device 21. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the winning prize opening 28 is opened by the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, the method of causing the player to guess whether or not the probability variation state is given is changed in the winning time. It creates game characteristics that vary depending on whether it was in a state or not.

  In the present embodiment, the ratio of the appearance of the special 2R probability variation big hit game to the appearance of the special 2R type game is larger (higher) than the ratio of the appearance of the 2R probability variation big hit game to the appearance of the normal 2R type game. The appearance rate of each game is set so as to be. That is, the relationship of the appearance rate of each game is more than the ratio of the appearance rate of the 2R probability variable big hit game out of the normal 2R game (2R probability variable big hit game and small hit game total) appearance rate. Of the appearance rate (total of the special 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R non-variable big hit game), the proportion of the special 2R probability variable big hit game is large (high).

  According to this, in this embodiment, the special prize opening 28 is further opened after the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, as compared with the case where the special winning opening 28 is opened in the normal 2R game opening / closing operation mode. When the special winning opening 28 is opened in the opening / closing operation mode of the 2R game, the expectation to the hit game that gives a certain probability change state is increased. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the probability change state is given more at the time of starting the hit game by the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game than at the end of the hit game by the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game. As a result, the expectation to the game will increase. In the present embodiment, the special winning opening 28 is further opened after the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game and the opening / closing operation mode of the special 2R system game, compared to the time when the normal 2R system game opening / closing operation mode is started. In the case where the special winning opening 28 is opened, the degree of expectation for the hit game that gives a certain probability change state is increased. As a result, in this embodiment, the degree of expectation for the winning game that gives a certain probability change state to each scene in the winning game changes. In the present embodiment, after the winning game is started by the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 is not the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game but the opening / closing operation mode of the special 2R game. In the case of recognizing a certain situation, that is, as the number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened increases, the expectation to the winning game that the probability variation state is to be given increases.

  Further, in this embodiment, the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are different in the prescribed number of rounds (two times and one time) of the round games constituting the hit game, but the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 is the same. Thus, there is no difference in the number of prize balls that can be obtained by a player in a single game. In addition, the special 2R probabilistic big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game are set to the same number of round games constituting the hit game, and the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 is set to the same per game. Thus, there can be no difference in the number of prize balls that a player can acquire.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the special 2R game and the 2R probability variable big hit game have the same number of rounds (two times) of the round game constituting the win game, but on the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 There may be a difference in the number of prize balls that a player can acquire in a single game. Specifically, in the present embodiment, in the special 2R game, the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 is a winning game that can acquire a larger number of prize balls than the 2R probability variation big winning game. In the present embodiment, the special 2R game is such that the open / close operation mode of the special winning opening 28 is a winning game in which a larger amount of prize balls can be obtained than the small winning game.

  In the present embodiment, in the 16R probability variable big hit game, the prescribed number of round games constituting the win game is larger than other hit games (normal 2R game and special 2R game). Further, in the 16R probability variable big hit game, each round game time and the release time in each round game are equal to or longer than the other hit games. As a result, in this embodiment, the 16R probability variation big hit game is a hit game in which a larger amount of prize balls can be obtained than other hit games.

  The prize ball is a game ball that is given as a prize to the player for one ball entering the big prize opening. In addition, the small number or large number of winning balls obtained in comparison with each winning game described above means that the number of winning balls obtained in each winning game is small or large. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, for example, “14 balls” of game balls are set to be paid out as a prize ball for one ball entering the big prize opening 28. If the maximum number of balls entered in a round game is set to “9 balls” and “9 balls” game balls enter the big prize opening, “126 balls” game balls will be paid out to the player as prize balls. Will be.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the lottery probability state (game state) of the big hit lottery is a high-probability lottery state (probability change state) as an effect performed on the effect display device 21. However, it is configured to be able to execute a plurality of (four in this embodiment) presentation modes (suggesting presentations) that suggest (notify) the player whether the low-probability lottery state (non-probability variation state). Specifically, a high-accuracy mode MK that suggests to the player that a high-probability lottery state (probability variation state) is being granted (game state) is provided in the effect display device 21. . The effect display device 21 executes a high expectation mode MS that suggests to the player that he / she can have an expectation that he / she is in a high-probability lottery state (probability variation state) during the provision of the variable state (game state). It is configured to be possible. In addition, the medium expectation mode MT as a specific suggesting effect that suggests to the player that he / she can have an expectation that he / she is in a high-probability lottery state (probability variation state) during the granting of the non-variable state (game state) Is configured to be executable by the effect display device 21. In addition, a low expectation mode MF that suggests to the player that there is a high possibility that a low probability lottery state (non-probability variation state) is being given (non-probability variation state) (non-probability variation state is being given). Is configured to be executable by the effect display device 21. In the present embodiment, any one of the high-accuracy mode MK, the high expectation mode MS, the medium expectation mode MT, and the low expectation mode MF is performed. In the present embodiment, the low expectation mode MF <intermediate expectation mode MT <high expectation mode MS <high accuracy mode MK is positioned as an effect with a high expectation level in the probability variation state.

  Then, in the high-accuracy mode MK, the effect display device 21 displays an image of the “high-accuracy mode” based on the background image GK for the high-accuracy mode, as shown in FIG. Further, in the effect display device 21 in the high expectation mode MS, as shown in FIG. 7, the “high expectation mode” is displayed based on the background image GS for the high expectation mode. In the medium expectation mode MT, the effect display device 21 displays an image of “medium expectation mode” based on the background image GT, as shown in FIG. In the low expectation mode MF, the effect display device 21 displays an image of the “low expectation mode” based on the background image GF, as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 21 displays a background image displayed in association with the symbol variation game, and displays the decorative symbols in each column so as to overlap the background image. The symbol variation game is executed by displaying the ornament symbols variably. And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, various effect modes are executed by the background image displayed on the effect display device 21, and the type of effect mode currently staying at the player is determined from the type of the background image. It is supposed to let the person grasp. The background image in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is an image that can be configured excluding symbols displayed in the symbol variation game, and is displayed in association with each decorative symbol that is variably displayed in the symbol variation game. It is different from the thing.

  Next, the transition mode of the production mode accompanying the progress of the game will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 7, the 16R probability variation big hit game is “16R probability variation”, the 2R probability variation big hit game is “2R probability variation”, the special 2R probability variation big hit game is “special 2R probability variation”, and the special 2R non-probability large hit game is “special 2R probability variation”. ”, And the small hit game is indicated as“ small hit ”.

  If you win the 16R probability variation big hit game, even if you stay in any production mode, both the variable state and the probability variation state are given with “no limit”, and it shifts to the high probability mode MK. .

  In addition, when winning the 2R probability variable big hit game, if the high probability mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, after the 2R probability variable big hit game is over, the variable state and the probability variable state are given “no limit”. The production mode that was staying at the time of winning was continued. In addition, when the 2R probability variable big hit game is won, if the low expectation mode MF and medium expectation mode MT are staying, no change state is given after the end of the 2R probability variable big hit game, but the probability change state is “no limit”. And is shifted to the medium expectation mode MT.

  Also, if the special 2R probable big hit game is won, if the high probable mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, after the special 2R probable big hit game is over, the variable state and the probable state are “no limit”. Assigned to the high expectation mode MS. Also, if the special 2R probable big hit game is won, if the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT are staying, no special short state is given after the special 2R probable big hit game is over, but the probable state is “limit” "None" is given to shift to the medium expectation mode MT.

  In addition, if a special 2R non-probable big hit game is won and the high probability mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, the special 2R non-probable big hit game is not given a probable state after the end of the special 2R non-probable big hit game. A variable state for a variable game is given, and a transition is made to the high expectation mode MS. In addition, when a special 2R non-probable big hit game is won, both the short state and the probable state are not given after the special 2R non-probable big hit game is over while staying in the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT. Thus, the mode is shifted to the medium expectation mode MT.

  In addition, when winning the small hit game, if the high accuracy mode MK and the high expectation mode MS are staying, the game state is maintained after the end of the small hit game, and the effect mode that was staying at the time of winning is changed. It is supposed to continue. In addition, when the small hit game is won, if the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT are staying, the game state is maintained after the end of the small hit game and the medium expectation mode MT is shifted. It has become.

  That is, during the stay in the high probability mode MK, after the 16R probability variable big hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game are finished, the high probability mode MK is continued to determine that the probability changed state is established. Suggestion (notification). In addition, during the stay in the high probability mode MK, after the special 2R probability variation big hit game and the special 2R non-probability big hit game are finished, the probability variation state is determined without determining the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state. Let the player guess whether or not.

  Further, during the stay in the high expectation mode MS, after the 16R probability variation big hit game is completed, the player is shifted to the high probability mode MK, thereby confirming that it is in the probability variation state and suggesting (notifying) the player. In addition, while staying in the high expectation mode MS, after the special 2R probability variation big hit game, special 2R non-probability big hit game, 2R probability variation big hit game, and small hit game are completed, the high expectation mode MS is continued, so Alternatively, the player is made to infer whether or not the non-probability change state is in a probable change state.

  Further, during the stay in the medium expectation mode MT, after the 16R probability variation big hit game is completed, the player is determined to be in the probability variation state by making a transition to the high probability mode MK and is suggested (notified) to the player. In addition, during the stay in the medium expectation mode MT, after the special 2R probability variation big hit game, special 2R non-probability big hit game, 2R probability variation big hit game, and the small hit game finish, the medium expectation mode MT is continued, Alternatively, the player is made to guess whether or not the state is a probability variation state without confirming the non-probability variation state.

  Further, during the stay in the low expectation mode MF, after the 16R probability variation big hit game is completed, the player is determined to be in the probability variation state by making a transition to the high probability mode MK to suggest (notify) the player. In addition, during the stay in the low expectation mode MF, after the special 2R probable big hit game, special 2R non-probable big hit game, 2R probable big hit game, and small hit game are over, the promiscuous state is changed. Alternatively, the player is made to infer whether or not the non-probability change state is in a probable change state.

  The high-accuracy mode MK, the high expectation mode MS, and the medium expectation mode MT are started (given) with the end of each hit game (big hit game or small hit game), and after the end of each hit game, the next symbol change Execution is instructed before the game is started.

  In addition, while staying in the high expectation mode MS, the short-lived state will not continue in the 101st symbol variation game without winning any big hit games (except for small hit games) since the start of the high expectation mode MS That is, the transition to the low expectation mode MF is triggered by the end of the provision of the variable state and the transition from the variable state to the non-variable state. In this case, the low expectation mode MF is started (given) after the end of the variable state (after the end of the 100th symbol variation game) and with the start of the next symbol variation game (the 101st symbol variation game). It has become so.

  In addition, during the stay in the middle expectation mode MT, a falling lottery is executed to determine whether or not a fall opportunity comes every time the symbol variation game is started in the middle expectation mode MT. In the fall lottery, the transition from the middle expectation mode MT to the low expectation mode MF is assumed as a fall opportunity when the lottery result of “fall” is set. In addition, in the fall lottery, when the lottery result of “continue” is set, the middle expectation mode MT is continued as a fall trigger does not arrive. Further, when the lottery result of the falling lottery “falling” is derived, the middle expectation mode MT is ended with the end of the target symbol variation game. In the falling lottery, random numbers are assigned by assigning random numbers so that the probability of determining “falling” and “continuation” is a predetermined probability.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the winning game, for the winning game in which the type of winning game cannot be determined from the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28, the time and the effect contents on the effect display device 21, the effect mode is set. The transition mode is also set to the same mode. Specifically, the transition mode of the effect mode is set to the same mode in the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game that are normally 2R games. That is, when the normal entry effect or the normal exclusive effect is executed during the winning game, the player cannot determine which of the normal 2R games is given from the transition mode of the effect mode. In addition, in the special 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game that are special 2R games, the transition mode of the effect mode is also set to the same mode. That is, when a normal entry effect or a special dedicated effect is executed during a winning game, the player cannot determine which of the special 2R games has been given from the transition mode of the effect mode. Also, in the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, the winning time when the type of the winning game cannot be determined from the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28, the time and the content of the effect on the effect display device 21 is not changed. Under certain conditions, the transition mode of the production mode is also set to the same mode. In other words, when a normal entry effect is executed during a winning game under this situation, the player can determine whether a normal 2R game or a special 2R game has been awarded from the transition mode of the effect mode. Absent. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the scene where the opening / closing operation mode and time of the special winning opening 28 and the effect display device 21 cannot determine the type of winning game, the type of winning game cannot be determined from the transition mode of the effect mode. Yes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a game characteristic that makes the player infer whether or not the probability variation state is given is created.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

Further, a sub-integrated control board 36, an effect display control board 37, and a sound / lamp control board 38 are mounted on the rear side of the machine.

  The sub integrated control board 36 comprehensively controls the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 35. The effect display control board 37 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 21 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36. To do. Also, the sound / lamp control board 38 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36, and the light emission modes (lighting (flashing) / lighting timings) of the various lamp units 15a to 15c. And the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speakers 16a and 16b.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 35, the sub-integrated control board 36, and the effect display control board 37 will be described.
On the main control board 35, a main control CPU 35a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 35b for storing a control program of the main control CPU 35a, and necessary data can be written and read. A main control RAM 35c is provided. A main control ROM 35b and a main control RAM 35c are connected to the main control CPU 35a. The main control CPU 35a includes an upper start switch SW1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start winning opening 24, and a lower start port switch SW2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start winning opening 25. It is connected. The main control CPU 35a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 28, and a normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 29. Also, a special symbol display device 22 and a normal symbol display device 23 are connected to the main control CPU 35a via a symbol display board 39. The main control CPU 35a is connected to a special symbol reserved storage display device and a normal symbol reserved storage display device (not shown) via a symbol display board 39.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 35c before updating. Has been rewritten. Further, the main control CPU 35a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The main control RAM 35c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored in the main control ROM 35b. In addition to the main control program, a plurality of types of variation patterns (effect content patterns) are stored in the main control ROM 35b. The variation pattern is displayed in the symbol display game 21 and the special symbol display device 22 after the symbol variation game is started by the symbol variation start, and then the symbol display game 21 and the special symbol display device 22 are determined and stopped. The pattern used as the base of the game effect (display effect, light emission effect, audio | voice effect) until is complete | finished is shown. That is, the variation pattern can specify the effect contents and the effect time (variation time) of the symbol variation game from when the special symbol starts to vary until the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. The variation patterns are for hitting effects (for big hit effects (for big hit fluctuations) or for small hit effects (for small hits fluctuation)), for outlier reach effects (for outlier reach fluctuations), and for outlier effects (for normal fluctuations). It is classified according to the contents of variation.

  The winning effect is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the winning symbol combination (big hit symbol combination or small winning symbol combination) is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. Further, the outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed after the reach effect. Also, the outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combinations that are out of place without being subjected to the reach effect. In the reach effect, in the symbol variation game using the decorative symbols on the effect display device 21, after the reach symbol combination is formed, the symbol combination (the winning symbol combination or the off symbol combination) is finally derived. It is an effect performed in Further, in the special symbol display device 22, when the symbol variation game is started, the symbol variation is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect.

The main control ROM 35b stores a hit determination value (a big hit determination value or a small hit determination value).
The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery (big hit determination) for determining whether or not the jackpot, and is a number of values that can be taken by a random number for jackpot determination for special symbols (random number for jackpot determination) (all 1597 values from 0 to 1596) Integer). In addition, the big hit judgment value is a big hit judgment value for low probability used in the big hit lottery when the gaming state is non-probable change state (low probability lottery state), and a big hit when the gaming state is probable state (high probability lottery state) There is a jackpot judgment value for high probability used in the lottery. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in the present embodiment) is set to be larger than the number of jackpot determination values in the non-probability variation state (four in the present embodiment). For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit in the big hit lottery in the non-probable change state is 4/1597, and the probability of winning a big win in the big win lottery in the probable change state is 40/1597. It becomes. In addition, the main control RAM 35c stores a hit determination random number (big hit determination random number) used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) for determining whether or not to win. In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination random number is acquired when a game ball wins each start winning opening 24, 25. The main control RAM 35c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of a special symbol that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. Each special symbol (big hit symbol) is assigned a predetermined number of random numbers for special symbol allocation, and the main control CPU 35a acquires the special symbol obtained when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the random number for chart distribution. The special control distribution random number is predetermined by the main control CPU 35a so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all 55 integers from "0" to "54"). Each time period (every 2 ms) is incremented by one and updated. Then, the main control CPU 35a stores the updated value in the main control RAM 35c as the special figure distribution random number value, and rewrites the already stored special figure distribution random number value. The random numbers for minutes are updated sequentially. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random numbers are acquired when a game ball wins each start winning opening 24, 25.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery (win lottery) for determining whether or not a small hit, and a numerical value (0 to 1596) that can be taken by a random number for determining a hit for a special symbol (random number for determining a small hit) (1597 integers). In the present embodiment, “5” numerical values are defined as the small hit determination value. Therefore, the probability of winning a small hit in the small hit lottery is “5/1597”. Note that the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is imparted and whether or not the variation state is imparted (the same value is determined). That is, the probability of winning a small hit in the small hit lottery is fixed regardless of the gaming state. The main control RAM 35c stores special symbol distribution random numbers for small hits that are used when determining the type of special symbol that becomes a small hit symbol when determining the small hit. Each special symbol (small winning symbol) is assigned a predetermined number of random numbers for special symbol allocation for small winning, and the main control CPU 35a determines that the small winning symbol is positive (the small hit determination is affirmative). ), The small hit symbol is determined based on the acquired special random number for special symbol allocation. The random number for special figure distribution for small hits is a main control so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all three kinds of integers “56” to “58”). The CPU 35a is updated by incrementing the numerical value every predetermined cycle (every 2 ms). Then, the main control CPU 35a stores the updated value in the main control RAM 35c as the value of the special figure distribution random number for small hits, and stores the special figure distribution random number for the small hits already stored. By rewriting the value, the value of the special map distribution random number for small hits is sequentially updated. In the present embodiment, the special map distribution random numbers for small hits are acquired when the game balls win the respective start winning ports 24 and 25.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for determining the hit for the special symbol is a random number used in the jackpot lottery (whether the jackpot is determined) whether or not the jackpot is determined, and whether or not the jackpot is determined if the jackpot lottery is not won. It is a random number used in the small hit lottery (small hit determination).

  The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 35b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not to execute the shift reach effect when determining the shift, and is a numerical value that can be taken by the random numbers for reach determination (all 241 from 0 to 240). It is determined from the (integer of the street). In this embodiment, the reach determination value is determined so that it is easier to derive a determination result that does not execute the reach effect than a determination result that executes the reach effect. The main control RAM 35c stores reach determination random numbers used for reach determination. In the present embodiment, the reach determination random number is acquired at the time of reach determination. In the present embodiment, the reach determination random number may be acquired when a game ball has won a prize at each start winning opening 24, 25.

  Further, the main control ROM 35b stores a standard hit value. The judgment value per common figure is a judgment value used in internal lottery (lottery per common figure) for whether or not per common figure, and a numerical value that can be taken by the random number for judgment per common figure (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250) ). It should be noted that the number of determination values per common map differs depending on whether or not the variable state is given, and the number of standard figure decision values when the variable state is given (250 in this embodiment). Are set to be larger than the number of determination values per common figure when the variable state is not given (51 in this embodiment). In addition, the main control RAM 35c stores a random number for determining the universal symbol used when determining the universal symbol. In this embodiment, the random number for determining per common figure is acquired when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 29.

  Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of winning a jackpot, the probability of winning a jackpot, and a special symbol, each winning symbol (big winning symbol (symbols A to D) and small bonus symbol (symbol E)) The appearance rate (selected ratio) of each winning game calculated based on the number of special figure distribution random numbers distributed to will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, in the low-probability lottery state that is in the non-probable variation state, the probability of winning the big hit is set to 4/1597, and the high probability of being in the probabilistic variation state. In the lottery state, the probability of winning a big hit is set to 40/1597. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the probability of winning a small hit is set to 5/1597 in both the low-probability lottery state that becomes the non-probability change state and the high-probability lottery state that becomes the probability change state. ing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, among the special symbols, the special symbol distribution random numbers for each jackpot symbol (symbols A to D) are 70 for symbol A and 1 for symbol B. Nine pieces are assigned to symbol C and 20 pieces are assigned to symbol D. And when the random number for special figure distribution (special symbol) is distributed in this way, the winning probability corresponding to the number of random numbers for special symbol distribution (special symbol) is allocated at the time of winning the jackpot Each jackpot symbol is won (the jackpot symbol is selected). That is, as shown in FIG. 10, at the time of winning the jackpot, the winning probability of symbol A is 70/100, the winning probability of symbol B is 1/100, and the winning probability of symbol C is 9/100. The winning probability of symbol D is 20/100. Therefore, the jackpot game based on the symbol A is 70% (70/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the symbol B is 1% (1/100) of the entire jackpot. The jackpot game based on the symbol C is 9% (9/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the symbol D is 20% (20/100) of the entire jackpot. As a result, the jackpot game based on the symbols A to C, that is, the jackpot game that gives a probability variation state after the jackpot game ends is 80% (80/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the symbol D, that is, the jackpot game The jackpot game to which the non-probability change state is given after the end is 20% (20/100) of the entire jackpot. For this reason, in this embodiment, the ratio (probability change ratio) which becomes a probable big hit out of the big hits is 80%. Note that a predetermined number of jackpot symbols (a total of 55 types) belong to these symbols A, B, C, and D, respectively. At the time of winning the small hit, the symbol E is won with a winning probability of 100/100 (the symbol E is selected), and the small hit game based on the symbol E is achieved. Note that three types of small hit symbols (all three types) belong to the symbol E.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the appearance rate (%) of each jackpot game in a single symbol variation game, that is, the ratio of each jackpot game being selected is the winning probability of jackpot and each jackpot It is calculated from the number of special figure sorting random numbers distributed to symbols. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the appearance rate (%) of the small hit, that is, the ratio of selecting the small hit game in one symbol variation game is calculated from the winning probability of the small hit. The In addition, in FIG. 11, the appearance rate (%) with respect to the symbol B to symbol D and the small hit symbol among the big hit symbols is shown. That is, FIG. 11 shows the appearance rate (%) of normal 2R games and special 2R games. Moreover, in FIG. 11, the calculated value to the 3rd place below the decimal point which rounded off the 4th place below the decimal point is shown.

  Specifically, the appearance rate (%) of the jackpot game based on each jackpot symbol is calculated by a percentage of the multiplication result of the jackpot winning probability and the winning probability of each jackpot symbol at the time of winning the jackpot. That is, the appearance rate (%) of the 2R probability variation big hit game based on the symbol B is calculated by multiplying 4/1597 by 1/100 under the condition of the low probability lottery state, and is about 0.003%. It becomes. In addition, the appearance rate (%) of 2R probability variation big hit games based on the design B is calculated by multiplying 40/1597 by 1/100 under the condition of a high probability lottery state, and is about 0.025%. It becomes. In addition, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R probability variation big hit game based on the symbol C is calculated by multiplying 4/1597 by 9/100 under the condition of the low probability lottery state. %. In addition, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R probability variation big hit game based on the symbol C is calculated by multiplying 40/1597 by 9/100 under the condition of the high probability lottery state. %. Also, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R non-probability big hit game based on the symbol D is calculated by multiplying 4/1597 by 20/100 under the condition of the low probability lottery state. 050%. Also, the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R non-probable big hit game based on the symbol D is calculated by multiplying 40/1597 by 20/100 under the condition of a high probability lottery state. 501%.

  Note that the appearance rate (%) of the small hit game based on the small hit symbol is calculated by the percentage of the winning probability per small hit. That is, the appearance rate (%) of the small hit game based on the symbol E is calculated from 5/1597 under the conditions of the low probability lottery state and the high probability lottery state, and is about 0.313%.

  In this embodiment, the appearance rate (%) of normal 2R games is based on the sum of the appearance rate (%) of 2R probability variation big hit games based on symbol B and the appearance rate (%) of small hit games based on symbol E. Calculated. The proportion of the appearance rate (%) of the 2R probability variation big hit game based on the pattern B in the appearance rate (%) of the normal 2R type game is the expectation degree of the 2R probability variation big hit game at the time of the appearance of the normal 2R type game. Probability expectation (%) for the state being given. That is, this probability variation expectation (%) is the expectation for a winning game in which the winning game is in a high-probability lottery state.

  In the present embodiment, the appearance rate (%) of special 2R games is the appearance rate (%) of special 2R probability variable big hit games based on symbol C and the appearance rate (%) of special 2R non-probable big hit games based on symbol D. It is calculated from the sum of The percentage of the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R probability variable big hit game based on the pattern C in the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R type game is the expectation of the special 2R probability variable big hit game when the special 2R type game appears. Probability expectation (%) for the existence of a certain probability variation state. That is, this probability variation expectation (%) is the expectation for a winning game in which the winning game is in a high-probability lottery state.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the ratio of the appearance of special 2R probability variation hit games out of the appearance rate (%) of special 2R games is the ratio of the appearance rate (%) of normal 2R games. The appearance rate (%) of each hit game is set so as to be larger (higher) than the ratio of the appearance of 2R probability variation big hit games. That is, in the present embodiment, the winning probability (hit and jackpot) and the winning probability (special symbol) of the winning probability (special figure distribution random number) of the winning (big hit and small hit) wins so as to have such a relationship of appearance rate (%) Distribution mode) is set.

  As a result, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, when the special winning opening 28 is opened by the normal 2R game and the special 2R game (the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game), In the embodiment, the probability variation expectation (%) changes according to whether or not the first winning opening 28 is opened and whether or not the third opening is reached. In addition, in FIG. 12, the probability variation expected degree (%) to the 2nd decimal place after rounding off the 3rd decimal place is shown.

  Specifically, the probability variation expectation (%) at the start of opening the big winning opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (shown as “start” in FIG. 12) is in the low probability lottery state. Out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbols B to E under certain conditions, it is about 6.45% calculated from the proportion of winning games based on symbols B and C. Also, the probability variation expectation (%) at the start of opening the grand prize opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (shown as “starting time” in FIG. 12) is in a high probability lottery state. Of the total of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbols B to E, the total is about 23.53% calculated from the proportion of winning games based on symbols B and C. In addition, after the start of opening the grand prize opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, the expected change rate (%) when the third opening is not started (indicated as “3 times not reached” in FIG. 12). Is about 0.79% calculated from the percentage of winning games based on symbol B out of the total of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol B and symbol E under the low probability lottery condition It becomes. In addition, after the start of opening the grand prize opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game, the expected change rate (%) when the third opening is not started (indicated as “3 times not reached” in FIG. 12). Is approximately 7.41% calculated from the ratio of winning games based on symbol B out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol B and symbol E under the high probability lottery condition It becomes. In addition, the probability change expectation (%) when the third opening is started after the opening of the special winning opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (indicated as “3 times arrival” in FIG. 12). Is approximately 31.03% calculated from the percentage of winning games based on symbol C out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol C and symbol D under low probability lottery conditions. It becomes. In addition, the probability change expectation (%) when the third opening is started after the opening of the special winning opening 28 in the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game (indicated as “3 times arrival” in FIG. 12). Is approximately 31.03% calculated from the percentage of winning games based on symbol C out of the sum of the appearance rate (%) of winning games based on symbol C and symbol D under high probability lottery conditions. It becomes.

  According to this, in the present embodiment, the special prize opening 28 is further opened after the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game compared to the start of the winning game according to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R system game, and the special 2R game When the special winning opening 28 is opened in the opening / closing operation mode, the probability of change (%) is increased. In the present embodiment, the probability of expected change (%) increases as the number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened increases, especially after the start of the winning game according to the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game.

  Depending on the situation of the game, the probability variation expectation (%) may be biased. In particular, in the probability variation state, the probability variation state is continued regardless of whether the game is a small hit game or a 2R probability variation big hit game. Therefore, the substantial probability change expectation (%) in “not reached 3 times” shown in FIG. 12 may be 100%.

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
On the sub-integrated control board 36, an overall control CPU 36a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 36b for storing a control program for the overall control CPU 36a, and writing and reading of necessary data are performed. An overall control RAM 36c is provided. The overall control CPU 36a is connected to the overall control ROM 36b and the overall control RAM 36c. The overall control CPU 36a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started).

Next, the effect display control board 37 will be described.
On the effect display control board 37, a display control CPU 37a capable of executing a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 37b for storing a control program for the display control CPU 37a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A display control RAM 37c is provided. An effect display device 21 (image display unit GH) is connected to the display control CPU 37a. Further, the display control CPU 37a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The display control ROM 37b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.).

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 35, the sub general control board 36, and the effect display control board 37 will be described.
First, as the control content executed by the main control board 35, the control content related to the execution of the symbol variation game and the normal symbol variation game will be described.

  When the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 enters a game ball into the upper start winning port 24 or the lower start winning port 25 and inputs a detection signal output by the start port switches SW1 and SW2 that detect the game ball. Then, a hold determination is made as to whether or not the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored in the main control RAM 35c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for special symbols <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 to the number of reserved memories for special symbols (+1), and sets the number of reserved memories for special symbols. rewrite. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. When the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a obtains the hit determination random number value and the special figure distribution random value from the main control RAM 35c, and holds the values for the special symbol hold. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c in association with the number of memories. The main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the reserved memory number for the special symbol exceeding the upper limit number when the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of stored memories = 4), Also does not get the value of special figure distribution random numbers.

  The main control CPU 35a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and the big hit stored in the main control ROM 35b. The determination value is compared, and a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a big hit game. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that performs the big hit determination (big hit lottery) is the win lottery means. In the big hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the big hit determination value for the low probability with the value of the random number for the hit determination when the gaming state is in an uncertain change state (the probability of winning is low). Is a probable change state (the probability of winning is high), the high probability jackpot determination value is compared with the value of the random number for determination. When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit. The main control CPU 35a, which has determined the big hit, reads the value of the special figure distribution random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c, and is a symbol variation game executed by the special symbol display device 22 based on the value. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Since the special symbol jackpot symbol is set for each type of jackpot game as described above, the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. Further, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the big hit acquires the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and from among the change patterns that can be selected when the big hit is won based on the acquired value. One variation pattern is selected and determined. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that determines the variation pattern serves as the variation pattern determination means (effect content pattern determination means).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special symbol hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the value of the special symbol hit determination random number and the main control. The small hit determination value stored in the ROM 35b is compared, and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a small hit game. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that performs the small hit determination (small hit lottery) serves as the winning lottery means. When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for special determination hit determination and the small hit determination value match), the main control CPU 35a determines the small hit. The main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hits reads the value of the special symbol distribution random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c, and based on the value, the symbol variation game executed in the special symbol display device 22 A small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. In addition, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hits acquires the variation pattern distribution random number value from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value, the variation pattern that can be selected when the small hit is won. One variation pattern is selected and determined.

  In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that determines the type (winning seed) of the winning game (big hit game and small hit game) when winning (big hit and small hit) is won. It becomes a decision means.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the random number for hit determination and the small hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the deviation. Then, the main control CPU 35a determines the off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the special symbol display device 22. In addition, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the deviation acquires the random value for reach determination from the main control RAM 35c, compares the acquired value with the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 35b, and determines the difference. Reach determination is performed to determine whether or not to execute reach production.

  When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (execution of an outlier reach effect is executed), the main control CPU 35a acquires a random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and based on the acquired value. On the other hand, one variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns that can be selected at the time of reach reach and determined.

  On the other hand, if the reach determination result is negative (does not execute the loss reach effect), the main control CPU 35a acquires the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and shifts based on the acquired value. One variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns that can sometimes be selected and determined.

  The main control CPU 35a having determined the special symbol and the variation pattern generates a predetermined control command, and outputs the generated control command to the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) at a predetermined timing. More specifically, the main control CPU 35a generates a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game, and first outputs the variation pattern designation command at the start of the symbol variation game. . Further, the main control CPU 35a generates a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol that designates a special symbol, and outputs the stop symbol designation command next after outputting the variation pattern designation command. Then, the main control CPU 35a generates a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, and the symbol stop command is changed to the variation symbol. Output as time passes.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number for the special symbol at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number for the special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. The main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 22 with the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and the special symbol (hit symbol (big hit symbol or small hit symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. ) Or off symbol)).

  The main control CPU 35a, when a game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 29 and receives a detection signal output from the normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects the game ball, is stored in the main control RAM 35c. It is determined whether or not the number of reserved symbols for regular symbols is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 (+1) to the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols, and sets the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols. rewrite. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for normal symbols is rewritten. For example, the main control CPU 35a turns on three hold lamps when the number of reserved symbols for the normal symbol after rewriting is “3”. If the hold determination is affirmatively determined, the main control CPU 35a acquires the random number for determination per universal symbol from the main control RAM 35c, and associates the value with the number of reserved memories for normal symbols. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the control RAM 35c. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of reserved memories for normal symbols = 4), the main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the number of reserved memories for normal symbols exceeding the upper limit, and for normal symbols. The random number for hit detection is not acquired.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a reads the random number value for determining per common figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the normal symbol variation game, and stores this value and the main control ROM 35b. It compares with the judgment value per common figure, and judges per common figure whether or not it is per common figure. In the base hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the low probability base per hit determination value with the base hit determination random number value when the gaming state is the non-changing state, and the gaming state is When the state is variable, the judgment value for the high probability common figure is compared with the value of the random number for the common figure judgment.

  The main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 23 with the start of the normal symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts the normal symbol variation by starting the normal symbol variation game, and the normal symbol (the symbol for the normal symbol or the symbol for the normal symbol) determined at the elapse of a predetermined variation time. Is displayed with a fixed stop. The main control CPU 35a sets a different variation time as the variation time of the normal symbol variation game in accordance with the game state at the start of the normal symbol variation game, and displays the normal symbol in a fixed stop state. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a sets “7000 (ms)” as the variation time in the non-variable state, and is shorter than the non-variable state as the variation time in the variable state. The time “1100 (ms)” is set. Thereby, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game performed in the variable state is shortened compared to the variation time of the symbol variation game performed in the non-variable state.

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
When the variation control designation command is input, the overall control CPU 36a of the sub overall control substrate 36 outputs the variation pattern designation command to the effect display control substrate 37 and the sound / lamp control substrate 38. In addition, when a stop symbol designation command for a special symbol is input and the big hit symbol is designated by the stop symbol designation command, the overall control CPU 36a controls the big hit symbol of the designated special symbol. This is stored in the RAM 36c. When the overall control CPU 36a receives a symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 36a outputs the command to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38.

  Further, the overall control CPU 36a executes the symbol variation game executed on the effect display device 21 based on the variation pattern type designated by the variation pattern designation command and the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command. The symbol combination of the decorative symbols derived in is determined.

  More specifically, if the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is the symbol A corresponding to the 16R probability variation big hit game, the overall control CPU 36a uses the symbol combination of the ornament symbols. The symbol combination ([111], etc.) having the same symbols in all the columns is determined. On the other hand, if the stop symbol (special symbol) is a symbol B and symbol E corresponding to a normal 2R game, or a symbol C and symbol D corresponding to a special 2R game, the overall control CPU 36a displays a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped. As a symbol combination, a symbol combination (such as [1 * 1]) consisting of code symbols is determined.

  In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the overall control CPU 36a determines a symbol combination of a decorative symbol that can recognize the loss. At this time, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines the outlier symbol combination that forms the reach. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines the offending symbol combination that does not form the reach. Then, the overall control CPU 36 a that has determined the decorative symbol outputs a stop symbol designating command for the decorative symbol designating the decorative symbol to the effect display control board 37.

Further, the overall control CPU 36a executes control related to the transition of the effect mode.
More specifically, the overall control CPU 36a determines the type of winning symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command for special symbols, and each designation command to be described later relating to the operation / non-operation of the variable state. The transition mode of the effect mode is controlled based on the set value of the effect mode flag. Further, the overall control CPU 36a is configured to execute a falling lottery during the stay in the middle expectation mode MT. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 36c. When setting the effect mode flag, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing the effect mode during the stay to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38. In the present embodiment, the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) that controls the transition of the effect mode is the effect execution control means.

Next, the effect display control board 37 will be described.
When the display control CPU 37a of the effect display control board 37 receives the variation pattern designation command, the display content is selected so that the variation corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command is selected, and the symbol variation game is played with the variation. The display content of the display unit GH is controlled. At this time, the display control CPU 37a generates display data for displaying an image according to the effect contents using the image data of the display control ROM 37b based on the selected effect contents.

  Then, the display control CPU 37a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the image display unit GH based on the measured time and display data. Switch every control cycle (for example, every 4 ms). When the display control CPU 37a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the image display unit GH causes the image display unit GH to display the symbol designated by the stop symbol designation command for the decorative symbol on the image display unit GH. The display content is controlled to end the symbol variation game. In the present embodiment, the effect display control board 37 (display control CPU 37a) serves as a game control means.

  Further, the display control CPU 37a executes control related to the transition of the effect mode. Specifically, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device 21 in the indicated effect mode when the effect instruction command for instructing the effect mode during the stay is input. For example, when the medium expectation mode MT is staying, the effect display device 21 displays a display image in the medium expectation mode MT. In the present embodiment, the effect display control board 37 (display control CPU 37a) that controls the display content of the effect display device 21 in the effect mode instructed by the overall control CPU 36a is the effect execution control means.

  Next, as control contents executed by the main control board 35, the sub general control board 36, and the effect display control board 37, control contents relating to execution of the winning game (big hit game and small hit game) will be described.

  The main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 gives a winning game (a big hit game and a small hit game) after the end of the symbol variation game serving as a winning effect (a big hit effect and a small hit effect). At this time, the main control CPU 35a determines the bonus game (big hit) to be given from the type of special symbols (big hit symbol and small hit symbol) determined immediately before the start of the symbol variation game that becomes the hit effect (big hit effect and small hit effect). The type of game and small hit game) is specified, and control according to the specified hit game is executed.

  The main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command at the start of the winning game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and further ends an ending command at the end of the winning game in each winning game specified based on the special symbol. Is output. The opening command instructs the start of the opening (effect), the round command instructs the start of the round game (effect), and the ending command instructs the start of the ending (effect). Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal for opening the special winning opening 28 at the start of each round game in each winning game specified based on the special symbol. The opening signal is output to the actuator of the special winning opening door 27, the actuator is actuated by the opening signal, and the special winning opening door 27 is opened. In addition, the main control CPU 35a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game in each per game specified based on the special symbol, and inputs a detection signal from the count switch SW3 during the round game. Count the number of entered game balls. Then, the main control CPU 35a, in each round game of each big hit game, fulfills one of the end conditions that the round game time has elapsed and that the upper limit number of game balls have entered, A closing signal for closing the winning opening 28 is output. The closing signal is output to the actuator of the special winning opening door 27, the actuator is operated by the closing signal, and the special winning opening door 27 is closed. In the present embodiment, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) that controls the opening of the special winning opening 28 serves as an opening control means.

Hereinafter, specific control contents executed by the main control CPU 35a will be described for each winning game specified based on a special symbol.
First, the 2R probability variation big hit game among the normal 2R games will be described.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T0 (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round to start the first round game, and the round game time shown in FIG. The measurement of the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) is started. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is opened (first opening), and if the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) as the round game time has elapsed, 1 To close the round game of the round, a closing signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time T3 has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the second round game, and the round game shown in FIG. The measurement of the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) as time starts. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is opened (second opening), and if the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) as the round game time has elapsed, 2 To close the round game of the round, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the 2R probability variation big hit game is completed.

When the second round game is completed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) and measures the ending effect time T2 (7000 (ms)). Start. After the ending effect time elapses, the main control CPU 35a ends the 2R probability variation big hit game. In accordance with this, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is to be given, and “ 1 ”is set. When the probability variation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not assigned. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted. Each flag is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c. Each flag is cleared (“0” is set) when a big hit game is awarded. Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs a probability change command when the probability variation flag is set to “1” and a non-probability variation command when the probability variation flag is set to “0” to the sub integrated control board 36 (the overall control CPU 36a). To do. Further, the main control CPU 35a sends a sub-variable control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) to a variable command when the operation flag is set to "1" and a non-change command when the operation flag is set to "0". Output to.

As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes each round game of the 2R probability variable big hit game to be executed in the second opening control for opening the big winning opening 28 during the round game time (opening time T1).
Next, a specific description will be given of the small hit game among the normal 2R games.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T0 (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a corresponding round command to start the round game, and at the same time, the opening time T1 (600) corresponding to the round game time shown in FIG. (Ms)) and a time (3200 (ms)) obtained by adding one interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) are started. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a opens the big winning opening 28 twice as long as the upper limit number of game balls have not entered, as shown in FIG. 3B. . The main control CPU 35a that starts the round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first big winning opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time since the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) has elapsed, the first big winning prize opening. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending effect time T2 (7000 (ms)). After the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a ends the small hit game. In the case of a small hit game, since the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main control CPU 35a controls the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit even during the small hit game and after the end of the small hit game. Will maintain the gaming state at the time of winning. That is, in accordance with this, the main control CPU 35a does not output a command designating a gaming state such as a probability change command or a change command.

As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes the small hit game to be executed in the first opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 for a time shorter than the round game time (opening time T1).
Next, the special 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game, which are special 2R games, will be described together.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T0 (4 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game. At this time, if the winning time is in the non-variable state, the main control CPU 35a has two opening times T1 (600 (ms)) and one opening time as the round game time shown in FIG. 4 (a). Measurement of time (17200 (ms)) obtained by adding T5 (5000 (ms)), interval time T3 (2000 (ms)), and interval time T7 (9000 (ms)) is started. Further, if the winning time is variable, the main control CPU 35a has two opening times T1 (600 (ms)), which are round game times shown in FIG. 4B, and two interval times T3 ( 2000 (ms)) Measurement of a time (10200 (ms)) obtained by adding one opening time T5 (5000 (ms)) is started. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), is provided on the condition that the maximum winning hole 28 does not contain the upper limit number of game balls. To open 3 times. The main control CPU 35a that starts the round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first big winning opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time since the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) has elapsed, the first big winning prize opening. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is closed (first closing). At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening 28. Next, when the interval time T3 has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal to open the second prize winning opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize opening 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T1 (600 (ms)) has elapsed, the second big prize opening. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is closed (second closing). At this time, if the winning time is not changed, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T7 (9000 (ms)) set between the second and third opening of the special winning opening 28. Further, if the winning time is the variable state, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) set between the second and third opening of the special winning opening 28. Next, when the set interval time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal to open the third big prize opening 28. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the grand prize winning opening 28 is opened (third opening), and when the opening time T5 (5000 (ms)) has elapsed, the third big winning prize opening. In order to end the opening of 28 and end the first round game, a closing signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a measures an interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) set between the first round game and the second round game. Next, when the interval time T3 has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the second round in order to start the round game of the second round, and FIGS. The measurement of the open time T6 (6200 (ms)) that is the round game time shown in b) is started. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a measures the time after the special winning opening 28 is opened (fourth opening), and if the opening time T6 (6200 (ms)) as the round game time has elapsed, 2 To close the round game of the round, a closing signal is output. As a result, the round game of the special 2R game ends.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the round game. The main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending effect time T8 (4 (ms)). After the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a ends the special 2R game. Accordingly, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” in the probability variation flag for a special 2R probability variation big hit game (symbol C), and assigns a variation state according to the gaming state at the time of winning. “1” is set to the operation flag shown. In addition, the main control CPU 35a indicates that a special 2R non-probability big hit game (symbol D) sets “0” in the probability change flag and gives a variable state according to the game state at the time of winning. Set the operation flag to “1”. In this case (in the case of a special 2R non-probable big hit game), when setting the operation flag to “1”, the main control CPU 35a sets the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to 100.

  As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes the first round game of the special 2R game to be executed in the first opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 for a time shorter than the round game time (opening time T1). Also, the main control CPU 35a has a longer time than the time of the first release control (release time T1) until the round game time elapses after the execution of the first release control in the first round game of the special 2R game. During (opening time T5), it is executed by the third opening control for opening the special winning opening 28. In addition, the main control CPU 35a causes the second round game of the special 2R game to be executed in the second opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 during the round game time (opening time T6).

Next, the 16R probability variation big hit game will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening effect time T14 (6000 (ms)). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 35a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game. At this time, the main control CPU 35a starts to measure one opening time T15 (25000 (ms)) that is the round game time shown in FIG. The main control CPU 35a outputs an open signal. Then, the main control CPU 35a opens the first winning opening 28 (first opening) and then satisfies the ending condition (elapse of the opening time T15 or the upper limit number of balls entered) in the first round game. If so, a close signal is output to end the first round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main control CPU 35a controls round games from the second round (second opening) to the sixteenth round (16th opening). Thereby, the round game of 16R probability variation big hit game is completed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time T3 (2000 (ms)) and starts measuring the ending effect time T16 (11000 (ms)). After the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 35a ends the 16R probability variation big hit game. In accordance with this, the main control CPU 35a sets “1” to the probability variation flag and sets “1” to the operation flag.

  As a result, the main control CPU 35a causes each round game of the 16R probability variation big hit game to be executed in the second opening control for opening the special winning opening 28 during the round game time (opening time T15).

  Then, the main control CPU 35a that ended each winning game, when the number of reserved memory for the special symbol at the end of each winning game is “1” or more, relates to the symbol variation game based on the start holding ball. A process is performed and a symbol variation game is performed. On the other hand, when the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol at the end of the big hit is “0”, the main control CPU 35a causes the symbol variation game to be executed until the game balls enter the start winning ports 24 and 25. Without waiting.

In this case, the normal entry effect continues until the third opening of the grand prize opening 28 starts in the first round game (until the interval time elapses after the second opening of the big prize opening 28). And executed. Next, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing the execution of the non-change-time 2R effect at the timing when the third opening of the special winning opening 28 in the first round game starts. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a grasps the timing at which the third opening of the special winning opening 28 starts by measuring the elapsed time from the start of the first round game. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a outputs a command for instructing the opening of the big prize opening 28, so that the overall control CPU 36a can grasp the opening timing of the big prize opening 28 by this command. In this case, the non-changeable 2R effect is continuously executed until the special 2R game ends (until the end of the ending effect time). Then, the overall control CPU 36a gives an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the corresponding effect mode (here, the medium expectation mode MT) until the special 2R game is finished and the next symbol variation game is started.

  On the other hand, when the processing related to the special 2R game is started, the overall control CPU 36a instructs execution of a special exclusive effect corresponding to the effect mode in which the player stays at the time of winning under the condition that the winning time is in a variable state. A production instruction command is output. That is, if the winning control is during the stay in the high-accuracy mode MK, the overall control CPU 36a instructs execution of a special dedicated effect that notifies the transition from the high-accuracy mode MK to the high-expected mode MS. In addition, if the winning control is during the stay in the high expectation mode MS, the overall control CPU 36a instructs execution of a special dedicated effect informing the continuation of the high expectation mode MS. In this case, the special special effect continues until the third opening of the grand prize opening 28 starts in the first round game (until the interval time elapses after the second opening of the big prize opening 28). And executed. Next, the overall control CPU 36a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the 2R effect at the time of change at the timing when the third opening of the special winning opening 28 in the first round game starts. In this case, the variable time 2R effect is continuously executed until the special 2R game ends (until the end of the ending effect time). Then, the overall control CPU 36a provides an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the corresponding effect mode (here, the high expectation mode MS) until the special symbol 2R game ends and the next symbol variation game starts.

Output.

Next, control of the opening / closing blade 26 at the time of normal symbol hit will be described as the control content executed by the main control board 35.
The main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal for opening the opening and closing blades 26 and a closing signal for closing the opening and closing blades 26 after the end of the normal symbol variation game per normal symbol, and the opening manner of the opening and closing blades 26. To control. The opening signal and the closing signal are output to the actuator of the opening / closing blade 26, the actuator is operated by the opening signal, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened, and the actuator is operated by the closing signal, and the opening / closing blade 26 is closed. Then, the main control CPU 35a controls the opening mode of the opening / closing blades 26 in accordance with the gaming state when hitting the normal symbol. Specifically, in the non-changeable state, the main control CPU 35a opens the opening / closing blade 26 for the first number of times (for example, 1 (times)) in the first opening time (for example, 200 (ms)). To control. In the variable state, the main control CPU 35a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to open for a second number of times (for example, 3 (times)) in a second opening time (for example, 1740 (ms)).

  Further, the main control CPU 35a counts the number of game balls that have entered the lower start winning opening 25 while the opening / closing blade 26 is opened. When the counted number of game balls reaches the upper limit number (10 in this embodiment), the main control CPU 35a outputs a closing signal at that time to close the opening / closing blade 26, The opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 based on the normal symbol is finished. The main control CPU 35a that has finished the opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 based on the normal symbol, when the number of reserved symbols for the normal symbol at the time of the end is “1” or more, The normal symbol variation game is started. On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a enters the normal symbol operating gate 29 with the game ball when the number of stored symbols for the normal symbol at the end of the opening control of the opening / closing blade 26 is "0", and the start condition is satisfied. Until, without waiting to run the normal symbol variation game.

  Hereinafter, the control contents of the display control CPU 37a of the effect display control board 37 with respect to the effect contents during the hit game (big hit game and small hit game) executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above. A description will be given based on FIGS. 13 to 16, the contents of the effects in the normal 2R game (2R probability variable big hit game and small hit game) and special 2R type game (special 2R positive variable big hit game and special 2R non-probable big hit game) among the hit games are shown. Shown in the center. Further, in FIGS. 13 and 14, when the game is assigned during the winning game (opening effect time, opening time, interval time, etc.), the display effect executed on the effect display device 21 (image display unit GH) during that time. A mode (production development) is shown.

  When the display instruction CPU 37a of the effect display control board 37 inputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the effect contents in the winning game (big hit game and small hit game), the effect content indicated by the command is selected, The display content of the effect display device 21 (image display unit GH) is controlled so that an effect during the hit game is performed with the effect content. At this time, the display control CPU 37a generates display data for displaying an image according to the effect contents using the image data of the display control ROM 37b based on the selected effect contents.

Here, the contents of the effect during the winning game will be described for each effect mode in which the winning game is won.
First, a description will be given of the contents of effects during the winning game during the stay in the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT when the winning state is the non-changeable state.

  The display control CPU 37a executes the normal entry effect when the special symbols that are confirmed and stopped from the overall control CPU 36a are the big hit symbol (symbol B) and the small hit symbol (symbol E) corresponding to the normal 2R game. When an instruction instruction command to be instructed is input, the display content of the effect display device 21 is controlled so as to execute a normal rush effect. At this time, the display control CPU 37a is continuously executed until the normal 2R game ends (until the end of the ending effect time).

  Thereby, in the effect display device 21, the effect development of the aspect shown in FIG. Then, in the normal entry effect in this case, the effect display device 21 displays the “襖 image H” as shown in FIG. 15A, and the “medium expected mode entry” in the “襖 image H”. The character image is displayed as an image. Thereafter, in the effect display device 21, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), an effect of opening and closing the “襖 image H” is developed. In the normal rush production, the “こ と が image H” is finally released (shown in FIG. 15C) to notify that it is a special 2R game, while the “襖 image H” is finally displayed. By not releasing, it is informed that it is a normal 2R game and the mode is shifted to the medium expectation mode MT. It should be noted that in the normal rush effect in the normal 2R game, an effect in which the “襖 image H” is not finally released is executed. In this case, the opening of the special winning opening 28 is completed in the second opening, and the third opening is not performed. For this reason, the normal entry effect is set as an effect that suggests (notifies) whether or not the opening of the special winning opening 28 ends with the second opening, that is, whether or not it is a normal 2R game. Then, in the normal rush effect when the “襖 image H” is not finally released, it is set as an effect to notify that the opening of the special winning opening 28 ends at the second time, that is, a normal 2R game. Yes.

  In addition, the display control CPU 37a directs execution of the normal entry effect when the special symbol that is confirmed and stopped from the overall control CPU 36a is the big hit symbol (symbol C and symbol D) corresponding to the special 2R game. When the instruction command is input, the display content of the effect display device 21 is controlled so that the normal rush effect is executed. At this time, the display control CPU 37a continues to execute until the third opening of the special winning opening 28 is started.

  Thereby, in the effect display device 21, the effect development of the aspect shown before the third opening of the special winning opening 28 of FIG. In the normal entry effect in this case, the effect display device 21 develops an effect similar to that of the normal 2R game, as shown in FIG. 15 (a) → FIG. 15 (b). Thereafter, in the effect display device 21, since it is a normal rush effect in the special 2R game, an effect (FIG. 15 (c)) in which the “襖 image H” is finally opened is executed. In this case, the opening of the special winning opening 28 does not end with the second opening, but the third opening is performed. Then, in the normal rush effect when the “襖 image H” is finally released, the opening of the special winning opening 28 is not completed in the second time, but is performed for the third time, that is, a special 2R game. Is set as an effect to notify the user.

  Subsequently, when an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the non-variable 2R effect is input, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device 21 so as to execute the non-variable 2R effect. At this time, the display control CPU 37a continues to execute until the special 2R game ends (until the end of the ending effect time).

  Thereby, in the effect display device 21, the effect development of the aspect shown after the third opening of the big prize opening 28 of FIG. Then, in the non-changeable 2R effect in this case, the effect display device 21 displays an image of a character image of “super chance” as shown in FIG. In addition, the non-variable short-time 2R effect is an effect that continues after the “襖 image H” is released from the normal rush effect (that is, changes from FIG. 15C to FIG. 15D). ). In this case, the opening of the special winning opening 28 ends in four times. For this reason, the non-changeable 2R effect is set as an effect for notifying that the opening of the special winning opening 28 ends with the fourth opening, that is, a special 2R game.

Next, description will be made on the contents of the effects during the winning game during the stay in the high-accuracy mode MK and the high-expectation mode MS when the winning time is variable.
The display control CPU 37a executes the normal dedicated effect when the special symbols that are confirmed and stopped from the overall control CPU 36a are the big hit symbol (symbol B) and the small bonus symbol (symbol E) corresponding to the normal 2R game. When the instruction instruction command to be instructed is input, the display content of the effect display device 21 is controlled so that the normal dedicated effect is executed. At this time, the display control CPU 37a executes a normal dedicated effect corresponding to the effect mode (high accuracy mode MK and high expectation mode MS) staying at the time of winning. Then, the display control CPU 37a is continuously executed until the normal 2R game ends (until the end of the ending effect time).

  Thereby, in the effect display device 21, the effect development of the aspect shown in FIG. In the normal dedicated effect in this case, in the effect display device 21, when the winning time is staying in the high accuracy mode MK, as shown in FIG. Is displayed as an image. Further, in the effect display device 21, when the winning is during the stay in the high expectation mode MS, as shown in FIG. 16B, a character image of “high expectation mode continued” is displayed as an image. In this case, the opening of the special winning opening 28 is completed in the second opening, and the third opening is not performed. For this reason, the normal exclusive effect is set as an effect for notifying that the opening of the special winning opening 28 ends with the second opening, that is, a normal 2R game. Especially during the stay in the high accuracy mode MK, the continuation of the high accuracy mode MK is confirmed at the same time as the appearance of the normal dedicated production, and at the same time it is determined that the probability variation state is established, but many prize balls cannot be obtained. It is set as an advantageous effect for the player from the viewpoint of continuing the probable state of connection to the next hit (big hit and small hit) of the thing.

  In addition, the display control CPU 37a directs the execution of the special dedicated effect when the special symbol that is confirmed and stopped from the overall control CPU 36a is a jackpot symbol (symbol C and symbol D) corresponding to the special 2R game. When the instruction command is input, the display content of the effect display device 21 is controlled so as to execute the special dedicated effect. At this time, the display control CPU 37a executes a special dedicated effect corresponding to the effect mode (high accuracy mode MK and high expectation mode MS) staying at the time of winning. Then, the display control CPU 37a is continuously executed until the third opening of the special winning opening 28 is started.

  Thereby, in the effect display device 21, the effect development of the mode shown before the third opening of the special winning opening 28 of FIG. In the special display effect in this case, the effect display device 21 suggests a transition from the high-accuracy mode MK, as shown in FIG. 16C, when the win is in the high-accuracy mode MK. The “withdrawal” character image to be (notified) is displayed as an image. Further, in the effect display device 21, when the winning is during the stay in the high expectation mode MS, as shown in FIG. 16D, the characters “reinforcement” that suggests (notifies) the continuation of the high expectation mode MS. An image is displayed. In this case, the opening of the special winning opening 28 does not end with the second opening, but the third opening is performed. For this reason, the special exclusive effect is set as an effect to notify that the opening of the special winning opening 28 does not end with the second opening, that is, a special 2R game. Especially during the stay in the high-probability mode MK, there is a possibility of shifting to the high-expected mode MS due to the appearance of special special effects, and at the same time a certain amount of prize balls can be obtained by special 2R games, Although it may not be continued, it is set as an advantageous effect for the player from the viewpoint of winning a prize ball.

  Subsequently, when the display instruction CPU 37a inputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of the variable speed 2R effect, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the effect display device 21 to execute the variable time 2R effect. At this time, the display control CPU 37a continues to execute until the special 2R game ends (until the end of the ending effect time).

  Thereby, in the effect display device 21, the effect development of the mode shown after the third opening of the special winning opening 28 of FIG. Then, in the 2R effect at the time of change in this case, in the effect display device 21, when the winning time is staying in the high accuracy mode MK, as shown in FIG. A character image is displayed. In this case, the effect changes from FIG. 16 (c) to FIG. 16 (e). Further, in the effect display device 21, when the winning state is staying in the high expectation mode MS, as shown in FIG. 16 (f), a character image of “Continue” is displayed as an image. In this case, the effect changes from FIG. 16 (d) to FIG. 16 (f). In the 2R effect at the time of change, it is notified that the game is a special 2R game and that the transition to the high expectation mode MS is continued. In this case, the opening of the special winning opening 28 ends in four times. For this reason, the 2R effect at the time of the change is set as an effect for notifying that the opening of the special winning opening 28 ends at the fourth time, that is, a special 2R game.

  Further, the display control CPU 37a inputs an effect instruction command for instructing execution of various effects when the special symbol that is confirmed and stopped from the overall control CPU 36a is a big hit symbol (symbol A) corresponding to the 16R probability variation big hit game. Then, the display content of the effect display device 21 is controlled so as to execute various effects corresponding to each input. Further, the effect display device 21 develops effects that indicate the start of the 16R probability variable big hit game, the number of round games, and the end of the 16R probability variable big hit game.

  The voice / lamp control board 38 controls the light emission mode of the various lamp units 15a to 15c and the voice output mode of the speakers 16a and 16b when various commands are input. That is, the voice / lamp control board 38 performs control so as to cause an effect according to the contents of the effect instructed by these commands, similarly to the effect display control board 37. In the present embodiment, the sound / lamp control board 38 can also function as an effect execution control means. 17 (a) and 17 (b), 2R probability variation big hit game is "2R probability", special 2R probability variation big hit game is "special 2R probability", special 2R non-probability variable big hit game is "special 2R not certain", small The winning game is indicated as “small hit”.

  Hereinafter, in accordance with FIGS. 17A and 17B, a process for determining a variation pattern (variation pattern determination process) executed by the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 is a normal 2R system game and a special 2R system. The explanation will focus on variation patterns that can be selected based on the winning of the game. In FIGS. 17A and 17B, among the variation patterns, the variation patterns that can be selected based on the winning of the normal 2R game and the special 2R game are mainly shown. In this embodiment, although not shown, a plurality of types of variation patterns that can be selected based on the winning of 16R probability variation big hit game, variation patterns that can be selected at the time of loss reach, and variation patterns that can be selected at the time of loss are provided. It has been.

  The main control ROM 35b of the main control board 35 stores a variation pattern distribution table shown in FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b). The variation pattern sorting table of the present embodiment is classified according to the state distinguished from the provision state of the variable state (operating state of the opening / closing blade 26), and is roughly classified into two types in the present embodiment. Specifically, it is classified into a variation pattern distribution table TA in the variable state shown in FIG. 17A and a variation pattern distribution table TB in the non-variable state shown in FIG. In the following description, the variation pattern distribution table in the variable state in FIG. 17A is “variable time table TA”, and the variation pattern distribution table in the non-variable state in FIG. Short time table TB ".

  In the present embodiment, the variable time table TA is a table used when the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern in the high-accuracy mode MK and the high expectation mode MS in the effect modes shown in FIG. . The variable time table TA includes a plurality of types (five types in the present embodiment) of variation patterns according to the selection types consisting of the lottery result of the big hit lottery, the lottery result of the small hit lottery, and the lottery result of the outlier reach production. It is classified in the distribution table. Of the variation pattern distribution tables classified as described above, FIG. 17A shows two types of variation pattern distribution table Ta and variation pattern distribution table Tb.

  In the variable pattern distribution table Ta, the main control CPU 35a wins the big hit in the big hit lottery in the variable state, and wins the 2R certain variable big hit game, the special 2R certain variable big hit game, and the special 2R non-probable big hit game. In some cases, the table is used when a variation pattern is selected. Hereinafter, the variation pattern distribution table Ta is referred to as “variable time 2R table Ta”. In the variable time 2R table Ta, random values for variable pattern distribution (total of 251 patterns from “0” to “250” in this embodiment) so that the variable pattern Pa that can specify the production content Ea can be selected. Is an integer).

  The variation pattern sorting table Tb is a table used when the main control CPU 35a does not win a big win in the big win lottery and selects a variation pattern in the small hit lottery in the short-running state. Hereinafter, the fluctuation pattern distribution table Tb is referred to as “shortening time small hit table Tb”. In the variable time small hit table Tb, the variation pattern distribution random values are distributed so that the variation pattern Pb that can specify the production content Eb can be selected.

  In the present embodiment, the non-change time table TB is a table used when the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern in the medium expectation mode MT and the low expectation mode MF in the effect modes shown in FIG. ing. Then, as shown in FIG. 17B, the non-change time table TB includes a plurality of types according to the selection types including the lottery result of the big hit lottery, the lottery result of the small hit lottery, and the lottery result of the disappointing reach effect ( In this embodiment, there are 6 types of variation pattern sorting tables. Of the variation pattern distribution tables classified as described above, FIG. 17B shows three types of variation pattern distribution table Tc, variation pattern distribution table Td, and variation pattern distribution table Te.

  The fluctuation pattern distribution table Tc is used when the main control CPU 35a wins a big hit in the big hit lottery and wins the 2R positive variable big hit game and the special 2R positive variable big hit game in the non-variable state. It is used as a table. Hereinafter, the variation pattern distribution table Tc is referred to as “non-variable short-time 2R probability variation table Tc”. The variation pattern distribution table Tc varies so that variation patterns Pc, Pd, Pe, Pf, Pg, Ph, and Pi that can specify the production contents Ec, Ed, Ee, Ef, Eg, Eh, and Ei can be selected. Random values for pattern distribution are distributed.

  The fluctuation pattern distribution table Td is a table used when the main control CPU 35a wins a big win in the big win lottery and wins a special 2R non-probable variable big hit game in the non-variable state. Has been. Hereinafter, the variation pattern distribution table Td is referred to as “non-variable short-time 2R uncertain variation table Td”. In the variation pattern distribution table Td, random values for variation pattern distribution are distributed so that variation patterns Pc to Pf that can specify the production contents Ec to Ef can be selected.

  The variation pattern sorting table Te is a table used when the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern when the main control CPU 35a wins the big hit lottery instead of the big hit lottery in the non-variable state. . Hereinafter, the variation pattern distribution table Te is referred to as “non-variable short time small hit table Te”. The non-variable short time hit table Te is assigned random values for variation pattern distribution so that variation patterns Pc, Pd, Pf to Pi that can specify the production contents Ec, Ed, and Ef to Ei can be selected. ing.

  In the present embodiment, the variable time distribution table TA is classified into a variable time 2R table Ta and a variable time small hit table Tb, so that a determination ratio (pattern determination ratio) for each variable pattern in the variable time state is obtained. ) And 2R probability variable big hit games, special 2R probability variable big hit games, and special 2R non-probable big hit games, and small hit games are different. That is, in this embodiment, the determination ratio for each variation pattern in the variable state is different depending on whether the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery is won, and the types of change patterns that can be selected are also different. Have Further, in the present embodiment, the non-variable short-time distribution table TB is classified into a non-variable short-time 2R probability variation table Tc, a non-variable short-time 2R probability variation table Td, and a non-variable short-time small hit table Te. Thus, the determination rate for each variation pattern in the non-variable short state is different at the time of winning the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R non-variable big hit game, and the small hit game. That is, in the present embodiment, the determination rate for each variation pattern in the non-variable short state is different depending on whether the lottery probability state after the end of the game becomes a certain variation state, a non-probability variation state, or continues. In addition, the types of change patterns that can be selected are also different.

  Using each variation pattern distribution table configured as described above, the main control CPU 35a selects one variation pattern distribution table in the variation pattern determination process based on the selection type and presence / absence of the variation state, One variation pattern corresponding to the value of the variation pattern distribution random number acquired from the selected variation pattern distribution table is selected and determined.

Hereinafter, the variation pattern determination process executed by the main control CPU 35a will be specifically described for each effect mode shown in FIG.
First, the variation pattern determination process in the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT will be described.

  In the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT, the gaming state is a non-changeable state in either a probability change state or a non-probability change state. In this case, the main control CPU 35a selects the 2R probability variation big hit game (ordinary 2R system game) and the special 2R probability variation big hit game (special 2R type game), the non-variable short time 2R probability variation table Tc, One variation pattern is selected from the short time 2R probability variation table Tc. Further, in this case, the main control CPU 35a selects the 2R non-probability change table Td when the special 2R non-probability big hit game (special 2R system game) is won, and the non-change time 2R non-probability change table Td. One variation pattern is selected. Further, in this case, the main control CPU 35a selects the non-variable short hit table Te when winning the small hit game (normally 2R game), and selects one variation pattern from the non-variable short hit table Te. Select. In this case, the main control CPU 35a selects a corresponding variation pattern distribution table (not shown) and selects one variation pattern from the variation pattern distribution table when the 16R probability variable big hit game is won. Further, in this case, the main control CPU 35a selects a corresponding variation pattern distribution table (not shown) and selects one variation pattern from the variation pattern distribution table when winning the loss reach effect. In this case, the main control CPU 35a selects a corresponding variation pattern distribution table (not shown) and selects one variation pattern from the variation pattern distribution table.

  During the stay in the low expectation mode MF, when either the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is won, the effect mode shifts to the medium expectation mode MT. This low expectation mode MF shifts to the medium expectation mode MT after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, during the stay in the medium expectation mode MT, if either the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is won, the medium expectation mode MT is continued.

  In this embodiment, the variation patterns Pc, Pd, and Pf are selected as variation patterns that can be selected from the non-variable short-time 2R probability variation table Tc, the non-variable short-time 2R non-variable variation table Td, and the non-variable short-time small hit table Te. Is distributed. Of these variation patterns, the variation patterns Pc, Pd, and Pf are random numbers in the non-variable short time 2R probability variation table Tc, the non-variable short time 2R non-probability variation table Td, and the non-variable short time small hit table Te. The number distribution mode (decision ratio) is varied. Thereby, in this embodiment, it becomes easy to grasp | ascertain the lottery probability state after mode transition and mode continuation. More specifically, the variation pattern Pc is most easily selected in the non-variable 2R probability change table Tc, and is most difficult to be selected in the non-variable 2R probability change table Td. In addition, the variation pattern Pd is most easily selected in the non-variable 2R uncertain variation table Td, and is most difficult to be selected in the non-variable short-time hit table Te. In addition, the fluctuation pattern Pf has the same random number distribution mode (decision ratio) in the non-variable 2R probability variation table Tc, the non-variable short time 2R non-probability variation table Td, and the non-variable short-time small hit table Te. Yes. The variation pattern Pf is set by assigning the largest number of random numbers in each of the non-variable 2R probability variation table Tc, the non-variable short time 2R non-probability variation table Td, and the non-variable variation small hit table Te. Therefore, it is selected with the highest decision ratio among the selectable variation patterns.

  For this reason, during the stay in the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT, a lottery of the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is performed by performing the symbol variation game of the effect contents based on the change patterns Pc, Pd, Pf It can be inferred whether the probability state is a probability variation state or a non-probability variation state. In this case, the lottery probability state of the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is continued in the probability variation state or in the non-probability variation state by performing the symbol variation game of the production contents based on the variation pattern Pc and the variation pattern Pd. It is easier to guess if there is. Further, in this case, since the symbol variation game with the effect content based on the variation pattern Pf is most likely to appear as the effect content at the time of winning the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, such an appearance appears. In an easy scene, it is impossible to determine (cannot guess) whether the lottery probability state of the medium expectation mode MT after transition and after continuation is a probability variation state or a non-probability variation state.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery probability state of the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is determined to be in the probabilistic state or indeterminate state by grasping the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 and the effect during the winning game. Can be guessed. In other words, when a symbol variation game with the effect content based on the variation pattern Pd is performed, by grasping the special 2R game, the possibility of winning the special 2R non-probable big hit game, that is, after the end of the hit game is not This increases the possibility of being in a probabilistic state. On the other hand, when a symbol variation game with effects based on the variation pattern Pd is performed, it is possible to win a 2R probability variation big hit game by grasping a normal 2R system game, that is, after the winning game ends This increases the possibility of being in a state. In addition, when a symbol variation game with production contents based on the variation pattern Pc is performed, the special 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R probability variable big hit game can be won regardless of whether the special 2R type game or the normal 2R type game is grasped. This increases the possibility that there is a certain probability, that is, the probability that the winning game is in a probabilistic state. When a symbol variation game with effects based on the variation pattern Pf is performed, the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R regardless of whether the special 2R game or the normal 2R game is grasped. It is impossible to determine whether the player is winning a non-probable big hit game or a small hit game (cannot guess).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the non-changing time 2R probability changing table Tc and the non-changing time 2R non-changing change table Td cannot be selected from the non-changing time small hit table Te (the determination ratio is “0 (zero)”). By assigning various variation patterns, it becomes easy to grasp the lottery probability after mode transition and mode continuation. Specifically, the variation pattern Pe that can be selected in the non-variable 2R probability variation table Tc and the non-variable 2R probability variation table Td is a variation pattern that cannot be selected from the non-variable small-time small hit table Te. ing.

  For this reason, during the stay in the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT, the lottery probability state in the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is surely changed by performing the symbol variation game with the effect contents based on the change pattern Pe. It can be inferred whether it is a state or an indeterminate state. In this case, the symbol variation game with the effect contents based on the variation pattern Pe is performed, so that a big hit game other than the small hit game (2R probability variable big hit game, special 2R probability variable big hit game, and special 2R non-probable big hit game) You can see that you are winning.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery probability state of the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is determined to be in the probabilistic state or indeterminate state by grasping the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 and the effect during the winning game. Can be guessed. That is, when a symbol variation game with the effect content based on the variation pattern Pe is performed, it is usually determined that the 2R probability variation big hit game is won by grasping the 2R system game, that is, after the winning game is finished, You can figure out that there is. On the other hand, when a symbol variation game with effects based on the variation pattern Pe is performed, whether a special 2R probable big hit game or a special 2R non-probable big hit game is won by grasping the special 2R game Cannot be determined (cannot be guessed).

  In the present embodiment, the non-variable 2R probability change table Tc and the non-variable short time hit table Te cannot be selected from the non-variable 2R non-probability change table Td (the determination ratio is “0 (zero)”). By assigning various variation patterns, it becomes easy to grasp the lottery probability after mode transition and mode continuation. More specifically, the variation patterns Pg to Pi that can be selected in the non-varying short time 2R probability variation table Tc and the non-variable short time hitting table Te are variation patterns that cannot be selected from the non-variable short time 2R non-variable variation table Td. It is said that.

  For this reason, during the stay of the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT, the lottery probability state of the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is performed by performing the symbol variation game of the effect contents based on the variation patterns Pg to Pi. It is possible to infer whether or not is a probability variation state or a non-probability variation state. In this case, a winning game other than the special 2R non-probable big hit game (2R probable big hit game, special 2R probable big hit game, and small hit game) is performed by performing a symbol variable game with the contents based on the fluctuation patterns Pg to Pi. ) Can be grasped.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery probability state of the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is determined to be in the probabilistic state or indeterminate state by grasping the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 and the effect during the winning game. Can be guessed. In other words, when a symbol variation game with the effect contents based on the variation patterns Pg to Pi is performed, it is possible to grasp that the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game are won by grasping the normal 2R system game. In this case, if it is estimated that the lottery probability state at the time of winning is a probable change state, at least the gaming state at the time of winning will be continued, so the presumed result of the probable change state is continued in the subsequent game Can be reflected. On the other hand, in the case where a symbol variation game with effects based on the variation patterns Pg to Pi is performed, the special 2R game is recognized by grasping the special 2R game, that is, the end of the hit game. It is possible to grasp that the later is a probabilistic state. In this case, there can only be a scene that is in a state of probability change after the end of the hit game, and this is an advantageous scene for the player who is determined to be in the state of probability change.

  Further, in this embodiment, the mode transition is performed by allocating all the variation patterns that can be selected by the non-variable short time 2R non-variable variable table Td or the non-variable short time hit table Te to the non-variable short time 2R probability varying table Tc. And there is always a possibility of a probable change state in the scene of guessing the lottery probability after the mode is continued. Specifically, the variation patterns Pc to Pi that can be selected in the non-variable 2R non-variable table Td or the non-variable small hit table Te are variation patterns that can all be selected in the non-variable 2R certain variation table Tc. It is said that.

  For this reason, during the stay in the low expectation mode MF and the medium expectation mode MT, the lottery probability state of the medium expectation mode MT after the transition and after the transition is performed by performing the symbol variation game of the effect contents based on the change patterns Pc to Pi. It can be inferred that there is a certain probability variation state in the scene of estimating whether or not is a probability variation state or a non-probability variation state. In this regard, even if the opening / closing operation mode of the special winning opening 28 and the effect during the winning game are grasped, it can be inferred that the probability variation state is present.

Next, the variation pattern determination process in the high expectation mode MS and the high accuracy mode MK will be described.
In the high expectation mode MS, the gaming state becomes a variable state in either a probability change state or a non-probability change state. Further, in the high-accuracy mode MK, the gaming state becomes a variable state in the probability-change state. In this case, the main control CPU 35a changes the 2R probability variable big hit game (normal 2R game), special 2R probability variable big hit game (special 2R type game), and special 2R non-probable variable big hit game (special 2R type game) when winning. The short-time 2R table Ta is selected, and one fluctuation pattern is selected from the short-time 2R table Ta. Further, in this case, the main control CPU 35a selects the small hitting table Tb when changing the small hit game (normally 2R game), and selects one variation pattern from the short hitting table Tb during the changing time. To do. In this case, the main control CPU 35a selects a corresponding variation pattern distribution table (not shown) and selects one variation pattern from the variation pattern distribution table when the 16R probability variable big hit game is won. Further, in this case, the main control CPU 35a selects a corresponding variation pattern distribution table (not shown) and selects one variation pattern from the variation pattern distribution table when winning the loss reach effect. In this case, the main control CPU 35a selects a corresponding variation pattern distribution table (not shown) and selects one variation pattern from the variation pattern distribution table.

  During the stay in the high expectation mode MS, if either the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is won, the high expectation mode MS is continued. Further, during the stay in the high probability mode MK, when the special 2R game is won, the production mode is shifted to the high expectation mode MS, and when the normal 2R game is won, the high probability mode MK is continued. In this embodiment, when the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, and the special 2R non-probable variable big hit game are won, the variation pattern is selected from the same variable time 2R table Ta. For this reason, when the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern Pa is performed during the stay in the high expectation mode MS, whether the lottery probability of the high expectation mode MS that continues even after the symbol variation game ends is in a probable variation state. It cannot be determined whether it is a non-probable change state (cannot be guessed). In this regard, even if the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 and the effect during the winning game are grasped, whether the lottery probability of the big winning game or the small winning game can be discriminated is in a probable state or not. It cannot be determined whether it is in a probable state (cannot be inferred).

  In addition, when a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern Pa is performed while staying in the high-accuracy mode MK, if it is normally understood that the game is a 2R game, the high-accuracy mode MK is continued, so the lottery probability is It is possible to grasp that it is in a state. On the other hand, when a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern Pa is performed while staying in the high probability mode MK, if it is understood that it is a special 2R game, the lottery probability state is changed to the high expectation mode MS. Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether or not the state is a probability variation state (cannot be inferred).

  On the other hand, the small hit game maintains the game state at the time of winning. For this reason, if a small hit game is won while staying in the high expectation mode MS, the symbol change game based on the variation pattern Pb selected from the variable time small hit table Tb is performed, so that the small hit game is won. I can understand. On the other hand, in this case, it cannot be determined whether the lottery probability state of the high expectation mode MS continued after the end of the symbol variation game is the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state (cannot be inferred). In this case, if it is estimated that the lottery probability state at the time of winning is a probable change state, at least the gaming state at the time of winning will be continued, so the presumed result of the probable change state is continued in the subsequent game Can be reflected. On the other hand, if you win a small hit game while staying in the high probability mode MK, the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern Pb is played, so that the small hit game is won, that is, the high probability mode MK continues. It is possible to grasp that the lottery probability state is a probability variation state. In this case, since the probability change state at the time of winning is continued even after the winning game ends, there can only be a scene that becomes a probability changing state. This is an advantageous situation for the player from the viewpoint of continuation of the probabilistic state that leads to small hits. In the case where a symbol variation game with the effect contents based on the variation pattern Pb is performed, it is understood that the game is a small hit game without grasping the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 or the effect during the winning game. obtain.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment configured as described above, when the variable state is given (high-accuracy mode MK and high-expectation mode MS), the normal 2R game and the special 2R game The game property which makes a player guess which is won from the production content of a symbol variation game is provided. For this reason, during the symbol variation game, it is possible to give the player a throbbing feeling that it is not known whether the lottery probability state after the end of each winning game is in a probabilistic state or a non-probable state. In the present embodiment, in addition to the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 after the symbol variation game and the effect during the winning game, the lottery after each winning game is performed from the symbol varying game to the winning game. A throbbing feeling that does not know whether the probability state becomes a probabilistic state or a non-probable state can be given to the player. As a result, if the 16R probability variation big hit game is won while staying in the high expectation mode MS, even if the lottery probability state is a probability variation state or the lottery probability state is a non-probability variation state, the player himself It can be made to guess whether it was won by the strength of luck.

  On the other hand, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the variable state is not given (low expectation mode MF and medium expectation degree mode MT), either the normal 2R game or the special 2R game is used. A game characteristic that can be guessed with a certain degree of probability from the effect of the symbol variation game is given. For this reason, if a player wins a 2R probability variable big hit game or a special 2R probability variable big hit game and can guess that the lottery probability state is a probabilistic state, the player can be given a motivation to continue the game and a special 2R non-probable big hit game. If the player wins the game and can guess that the lottery probability state is an uncertain change state, the player can be given a motivation such as stopping the game. In the present embodiment, in addition to the opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 after the symbol variation game, the effect during the winning game, the transition of the effect mode, etc. Over the transition, a game property is provided that can guess whether the lottery probability state after the end of each winning game becomes a probable change state or a non-probability change state.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the first high probability game (2R probability variable big game) and the maintenance game (small game), a winning game with the same opening / closing operation mode of the winning means (large winning port 28) is performed. . In addition, in the second high probability game (special 2R probability variation big hit game) and the low probability game (special 2R non-probability large hit game), the opening / closing operation mode of the winning means (large winning port 28) is the same. A winning game different from the opening / closing operation mode of the winning means (big winning opening 28) in the first high probability winning game (2R probability variable big winning game) and the maintenance winning game (small winning game) is performed. Therefore, according to the opening / closing operation mode of the winning means (large winning opening 28), it is determined whether the first high probability game or the maintenance game (normally 2R game) is won, the second high probability game and the low probability game. It is possible to cause the player to guess which of the winning games (special 2R games) is won. Further, when it is estimated that the first highly-reliable game and the maintenance game (usually a 2R game) are won, the player can be further inferred which of these is won. Further, when it is estimated that the second high-winning game and the low-winning game (special 2R game) are won, the player can be further inferred which of these is won. In other words, each high probability game (2R probability variation big hit game and special 2R probability variation big hit game), low probability game (special 2R probability variation big hit game) and maintenance per game (small hit game) for each production content pattern (variation pattern) By making the pattern determination ratios different, it becomes easier to infer from the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game which of these winning games is won. For this reason, from the contents of the design variation game, each high probability game (2R probability variation big hit game and special 2R probability variation big hit game), low probability game (special 2R non-probability variable big hit game), and maintenance game (small hit game) ) Can be inferred with high accuracy whether the player has won, and the player can be made to determine whether or not to continue the game.

  (2) In this embodiment, in particular, in the non-variable short time distribution table TB, the non-variable short time 2R probability variable table Tc, the non-variable short time 2R non-variable variable table Td, and the non-variable short time small hit table Te The effect (1) is achieved by varying the determination ratio (random number distribution mode) for each variation pattern in FIG.

  (3) Each high-probability game (2R probable big hit game and special 2R probable big hit game) and low probable game (special 2R non-probable big hit game) can be selected according to the production content pattern (variation pattern) that can be selected. In the game (small hit game), it is included that is determined to be unselectable (in this embodiment, the variation pattern Pe). According to this, it becomes easy to infer from the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game whether or not the game per maintenance (small game) is won. For this reason, the player can guess with high accuracy based on the contents of the design variation game whether or not the game per maintenance (small hit game) has been won, and determine whether or not to continue the game. You can let the player do it.

  (4) In addition, when a symbol variation game based on a performance content pattern (in this embodiment, variation pattern Pe) that cannot be selected in the game per maintenance (small game), the winning means (large winning opening 28) is the first. If it is the opening / closing operation mode of the high probability game (usually 2R system game), it can be estimated that it is the winning of the first high probability game (2R probability variable big hit game). On the other hand, when the symbol variation game based on the production content pattern (variation pattern Pe) that cannot be selected in the game per maintenance (small game), the winning means (big prize opening 28) is the second high probability game ( If it is an open mode of (special 2R game), it cannot be inferred between the second high probability game and the low probability game (special 2R game). For this reason, a scene is created from which the player can guess with high accuracy based on the content of the design variation game based on the content of the design variation game from the content of the design variation game. Thus, it is possible to make the player determine whether or not to continue the game.

  (5) In the present embodiment, in particular, in the non-variable short time distribution table TB, the non-variable short time 2R probability variable table Tc and the non-variable short time 2R non-variable variable table Td are replaced with the non-variable short time small hit table Te. By setting the variation pattern Pe that cannot be selected in (1), the effect (3) and the effect (4) are produced.

  (6) A low-winning game (special game) that can be selected for each high-accuracy game (2R-probable big hit game and special 2R-probable big win game) and maintenance-per game (small hit game). 2R non-probable large hit games) that are determined to be unselectable (in this embodiment, the variation patterns Pg to Pi) are included. According to this, it becomes easy to guess from the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game whether or not the low probability game (special 2R non-probability variable big game) is won. Therefore, it is possible for the player to estimate with high accuracy whether or not the low-winning game (special 2R non-probable large-hit game) has been won based on the contents of the design variation game, and whether or not to continue the game. It is possible to make the player make such a determination.

  (7) In addition, when a symbol variation game based on an effect content pattern (in this embodiment, variation patterns Pg to Pi) that cannot be selected in a low probability game (special 2R non-probability large hit game), a winning means (large prize) If the opening 28) is an opening / closing operation mode of the second high-probability game (special 2R game), it can be assumed that it is the winning of the second high-probability game (special 2R probability variable big hit game). . On the other hand, when the symbol variation game based on the production content pattern (variation patterns Pg to Pi) that cannot be selected in the low probability game (special 2R non-probability large hit game) appears, the winning means (large winning port 28) is the first. If it is the opening / closing operation mode of the high probability game (normally 2R game), it is impossible to infer either the first high probability game or the maintenance game (normally 2R game). Therefore, based on the content of the symbol variation game, the player can guess with high accuracy based on the content of the symbol variation game whether or not the second high probability game (special 2R non-probability large hit game) has been won. By creating a scene that can be played, it is possible to make the player determine whether or not to continue the game.

  (8) In the present embodiment, in particular, in the non-variable short time distribution table TB, the non-variable short time 2R probability varying table Tc and the non-variable short time small hit table Te are replaced with the non-variable short time 2R non-probable varying table Td. By setting the variation patterns Pg to Pi that cannot be selected in (1), the effect (6) and the effect (7) are produced.

  (9) Regarding all of the effect content patterns (in this embodiment, the variation patterns Pc to Pi) determined to be selectable in the low probability game (special 2R non-probable big hit game) or the maintenance game (small hit game). Each high probability game (2R probability variable big hit game and special 2R probability variable big hit game) can be selected. According to this, it is possible to expect each highly probable hit game (2R probable big hit game and special 2R probable big hit game) with all the contents of the design variation game. That is, if it is presumed that only the low hit game (special 2R non-probable big hit game) and the maintenance game (small hit game) are won based on the contents of the design fluctuation game, the game is judged to continue. It will be difficult for the person to do. Therefore, from the contents of the design variation game, the player can guess the type of the winning game with high accuracy based on the content of the design variation game and determine whether to continue the game in any situation. Can be performed.

  (10) With regard to the production content pattern (in this embodiment, the variation pattern Pe) that is likely to appear when the winning game is won, whether the game is continued by making the pattern determination ratio the same in any winning game It is possible to prevent the determination of “no” from being biased to any one.

  (11) In each win game, the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 for the 2R probability variable big hit game and the small hit game and the third opening of the special 2R positive variable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game are executed. The opening / closing operation mode of the big prize opening 28 is made the same. Furthermore, in the special 2R probability variation big hit game and the special 2R non-probability big hit game, the opening / closing operation mode of the big winning opening 28 after the third opening is executed is made the same. For this reason, it is difficult to determine the type of winning game, and the player can be suitably inferred that the state is a probable change state. In addition, in special 2R probable big hit games and special 2R non-probable big hit games, the number of rounds configured is the same as in the 2R probable big hit game with the same number of round games. I was able to earn. In addition, in the special 2R probable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game, the opening / closing operation mode of the 2R probable big hit game and the big winning opening 28 are the same by the opening by the third opening and the subsequent round game. Also made it possible to win many prize balls. For this reason, at the arrival of a scene in which a special 2R probability variation big hit game and a special 2R non-probability big hit game are inferred to be in a probable state, more prize balls are obtained than the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game. Become. And if the number of special 2R probable big hit games and special 2R non-probable big hit games that can win a lot of prize balls is likely to appear, and the arrival of scenes that cause the player to guess whether or not the probable state is increased, As a result, the chance for the player to win a prize ball is greatly increased. On the other hand, a scene that does not affect the transition of the lottery probability state and makes it easy for a small hit game that cannot acquire many prize balls to appear, and makes the player guess whether or not it is in a promiscuous state Even if the arrival is increased, it is possible to suppress a significant increase in the chance for the player to win a prize ball. Therefore, even if the configuration is such that a prize ball can be obtained in a special 2R game, the player can guess whether or not it is in a probable state while suppressing a significant increase in the chance of obtaining a prize ball during the game. A scene can be made to arrive suitably.

  (12) The medium expectation mode MT is configured to be executable after the 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R probability variable big hit game, the special 2R non-probable big hit game, and the small hit game. Further, in a situation where the medium expectation mode MT can be executed, in a normal 2R game, a normal rush effect having the same content is developed from the start to the end of these hit games. On the other hand, in the special 2R game, the same normal entry effect as the normal 2R game is developed from the start of these hit games until the third release is executed in the first round game. For this reason, in the situation where the medium expectation mode MT that can be executed from any winning game is executed, it is difficult to determine the winning game not only from the big winning opening 28 but also from the production side when the big winning opening 28 is opened. Can improve the fun of gaming.

  (13) Under the situation where the medium expectation mode MT cannot be executed, different performance modes can be executed after the end of the normal 2R game and at the end of the special 2R game. Under such circumstances, the winning game is improved by making it difficult to determine the winning game not only from the opening of the big prize opening 28 but also from the effect side between winning games that can execute the same effect mode. be able to.

  (14) Specifically, in the normal 2R game, a normal exclusive effect having the same content is developed from the start to the end of the per game. For this reason, in the situation shown in the effect (13) above, when the special winning opening 28 is opened, not only the opening of the special winning opening 28 but also in terms of performance, it is difficult to discriminate about the normal 2R game, and the interest of the game is improved. be able to. Also, in special 2R games, special special effects with the same contents are developed from the start to the end of these winning games. For this reason, in the situation shown in the effect (13) above, when the special winning opening 28 is opened, not only the special winning opening 28 is opened but also the special 2R game is difficult to discriminate not only from the production side, but the interest of the game is improved. be able to.

  (15) In the normal 2R game, the maximum number of balls entered (9 balls in this embodiment) during the opening of the special winning opening 28 is made difficult to win more than the special 2R game. As a result, the normal 2R system game is almost finished as the round game time elapses, and a difference between the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game can be provided. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the player to grasp that a prize ball can be obtained in the special 2R game.

  (16) Even if it is easy for the small hit game to appear, it is possible to suppress a significant increase in the chance of the player to acquire a prize ball. Furthermore, in a scene where the player is inferred whether or not the probability change state comes due to the special 2R system game, the player can also acquire many prize balls.

  (17) In addition, when the total opening time of the large winning opening 28 in one round game of the normal 2R system game is made easy to win the game balls of the upper limit number (9 balls in this embodiment), The open / close operation mode of the special winning opening 28 may be closed on condition that the upper limit number (9 balls in this embodiment) has been reached. In such a case, the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the normal 2R system game becomes indefinite according to the winning situation of the game ball. On the other hand, by making it difficult for a maximum number of game balls 28 (9 balls in this embodiment) to be awarded for the total opening time of the grand prize opening 28 in one round game of a normal 2R game, In most cases, the opening / closing operation mode is closed on the condition that the opening time has been reached. As a result, the opening time of the special winning opening 28 in the normal 2R game becomes constant, and the player can be surely recognized of the opening / closing operation mode. In addition, in the case of special 2R games, when the big prize opening 28 is opened only for the normal 2R type games, the opening time of the big prize opening 28 becomes constant, and the player can be surely recognized the opening / closing operation mode. it can.

  (18) In the special 2R game, the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the first round game is set to the same time as the opening time of the big winning opening 28 in the round games after the first round game. According to this, in the special 2R game, it becomes possible to acquire a prize ball that can be acquired in the round game after the first round game even in the first round game.

  (19) In the 2R probability variation big hit game and the small hit game, a hit game in which the big winning opening 28 is opened the same number of times is performed. Also, in the special 2R probable big hit game and the special 2R non-probable big hit game, the big prize opening 28 is opened for the same number of times, and after the big prize opening 28 is opened for the same number of times as in the normal 2R system game, a further big prize opening is made. A game is played when 28 is released. In addition, the main control board 35 (main control CPU 35a) determines the probability of winning the winning lottery (big winning lottery and small winning lottery) and the probability of each winning game calculated from the respective probabilities determining the type (special symbol) of each winning. The relationship of appearance rate is as shown below. In other words, the proportion of the appearance rate of the special 2R probability variation big hit game in the appearance rate of the special 2R type game is larger than the proportion of the appearance rate of the 2R probability variation big hit game in the appearance rate of the normal 2R type game. For this reason, in the winning game, after the number of times of the 2R system games (in this embodiment, 2 times), the special winning opening 28 is opened after that number of times (in this embodiment, 2 times) after the opening. Furthermore, the probability change probability increases when the special winning opening 28 is opened. Further, in the winning game, the probability change probability is higher than in the case where the special winning opening 28 is opened only for the number of times of the normal 2R system game (in this embodiment, twice). Further, in the win game, the probability change probability is higher in the case where the special winning opening 28 is opened after the number of times of the normal 2R system game (2 times in the present embodiment) is released than when the win game is started. . As a result, the probability variation expectation is changed for each scene in the winning game, and after the start of the winning game, the probability variation expectation is increased as the number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened. Therefore, by changing the probability of expectation every time the big winning opening 28 is opened in a winning game, the player's interest and interest are attracted to the opening of the big winning opening 28, and the interest of the game is improved. Can do.

  (20) In a winning game, if the winning game is in a probable change state, the special winning opening 28 is provided for the number of special 2R games compared to the case where the large winning opening 28 is normally opened for the number of 2R games. Better open. As a result, after the start of the winning game, it is preferable to increase the probability of expected change as the number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened. Therefore, the interest of the player and the interest can be attracted to the opening of the special winning opening 28 and the interest of the game can be improved.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the present embodiment, in the non-change time 2R probability change table Tc, the non-change time 2R non-change table Td, and the non-change time small hit table Te, it is also possible to set a change pattern to be distributed according to the specified contents of the effect. it can. For example, as the contents of the effects of the variation patterns Pc to Pe, a normal variation system (normal variation, shortened variation, ultrashort variation) that cannot be selected in the case of 16R probability variation big hit game may be defined. The normal variation system is the content of the effect that finally derives the out-of-pattern symbol combination. The shortened variation is the content of the effect in which the variation time is shorter than the normal variation. In addition, the super shortening variation is a variation in which the variation time is further shortened than the shortening variation. In this case, each table Tc to Te can give expectation to the 2R probability variation big hit game and the special 2R probability variation big hit game even in the normal variation type symbol variation game, and the super short variation In this case, expectation can be given to the 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R probability variable big hit game. In addition, as the content of the variation pattern Pf, content with a low degree of expectation for big hits (so-called normal reach or low expected super reach) that may be easily selected in the event of a loss may be determined. In this case, even if the content of the performance is low in the degree of big hit expectation, expectations can be given to the 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R probability variable big hit game by each table Tc to Te. In addition, as the content of the variation patterns Pg to Pi, content with a relatively high jackpot expectation level (so-called expected high reach or expected high super reach) may be determined. In this case, according to the non-variable 2R uncertain variation table Td. It can be understood that there is no winning of special 2R non-probable big hit game at the appearance of production contents with high expectation degree of big hit.

  In the present embodiment, in the non-variable short time 2R probability variation table Tc, the non-variable short time 2R non-variable variation table Td, and the non-variable short time small hit table Te, the variation pattern Pe (most selected in each table). The distribution pattern of easy variation patterns may be different. In addition, in each of these tables, if the variation pattern is distributed to all of these tables, the random number distribution mode (determination ratio) can be set to the same for this variation pattern, and is set in this way. A plurality of variation patterns can be set.

  In this embodiment, the non-variable 2R uncertain change table Td and the non-variable short hit table Te cannot be selected in the non-variable 2R probability change table Tc (decision ratio “0 (zero)”). Can also be set.

  In the present embodiment, it is also possible to set a variation pattern that can be selected only in the non-variable 2R probability variation table Tc. It can be understood that the 2R probability change big hit game and the special 2R probability change big hit game, that is, the lottery probability state becomes the probability change state depending on the appearance of the symbol change game with the effect contents based on such a change pattern. In this example, it is also possible to set a variation pattern that can be selected only in the non-variable short time 2R probability variation table Td, or a variation pattern that can be selected only in the non-variable short time hit table Te.

  -In this embodiment, it is good also as a structure which can select the same fluctuation pattern altogether in the non-change time 2R probability change table Tc, the non-change time 2R non-change probability table Td, and the non-change time small hit table Te.

  In the present embodiment, the random number distribution mode for the distributed pattern and the distributed variation pattern in the non-variable short time 2R probability variation table Tc, the non-variable short time 2R non-variable variation table Td, and the non-variable short time hit table Te It only has to be different. That is, it is only necessary that the determination ratios differ for each variation pattern between these tables, and within such a range, the distribution pattern distribution method of each table and the random number distribution method for the distributed variation pattern are changed. Also good.

  In the present embodiment, even in a scene where a variable state is given as in the high-accuracy mode MK and the high expectation mode MS, the type of winning game is inferred from the effect of the symbol variation game, and accordingly the lottery probability state It is also possible to set a game characteristic such as guessing. That is, a variation pattern distribution table as in the non-variable state may be applied even in the variable state.

In the present embodiment, different tables can be set for the 2R probability variable big hit game and the special 2R probability variable big hit game in the non-variable short time distribution table TB.
In this embodiment, the normal entry effect and the normal exclusive effect can be developed from the start of the opening effect time, that is, from the start of the winning game. In this case, the opening effect time is also added as the execution period of each effect.

  In the present embodiment, the execution period of the special special performance is not set until the third opening of the grand prize opening 28 is started in the third round game of the first round, but before the third opening (the second round The specification can be executed until the middle of the third opening, or when the 2R effect at the time of change can be executed.

  -In this embodiment, if the content of the effect to be executed during each hit game is the same while making it difficult to determine the type of the hit game between hit games, it can be arbitrarily changed respectively. .

  In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the special winning opening 28 in the first round game of the special 2R game is not necessarily the opening time of the special winning opening 28 in the second round game, and is shortened. Can also be long. At least the opening / closing operation mode of the first and second grand prize winning openings 28 may be set to be the same as the opening / closing operation mode of the normal 2R game. However, in this case, it is preferable that the player can obtain more prize balls than the prize balls that the player can obtain through the normal 2R game even in the first round game.

  In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the normal 2R system game can be set to a time that can satisfy the maximum number of balls entered. In this case, the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 of the first round and the second round game of each round game of the special 2R game is at least the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the normal 2R game. It is only necessary to set a time longer than the total opening time.

  -In this embodiment, even if the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 of the first round and the second round game of each round game of the special 2R game is a time when the upper limit number of balls can not be satisfied, It is sufficient that the time is set longer than at least the total opening time of the big winning opening 28 in each round game of the normal 2R game.

  -In this embodiment, regarding the transition mode of the production mode, a unique transition mode can be set for each winning game. On the other hand, the transition mode of the effect mode can be set to the same mode for the normal 2R game and the special 2R game regardless of the presence or absence of the variable state. In the case of such a configuration, it is preferable to arrange the effects during the winning game in the same manner. And according to this, the type of winning game or lottery is determined from the effect of the symbol variation game by making it difficult to discriminate the type of winning game from the opening mode of the special winning opening 28 or the transition of the time or the effect mode. It becomes game characteristics such as guessing the probability state.

  -In this embodiment, the kind of production mode may be changed and a kind can also be divided only by the presence or absence of a change state. That is, in this other example, the difference in expectation as to whether or not the production mode is in a certain change state is not set.

  In the present embodiment, the transition mode of the effect mode and the effect in the winning game (particularly, the normal 2R game and the special 2R game) do not have to be associated with each other, and the types of the winning game can be separately associated with each other. It can also be set as the estimation element. It is only necessary to make it difficult to discriminate between the normal 2R game and the special 2R game based on the opening / closing operation mode and the time of the special winning opening 28 and the type of the winning game.

  In the present embodiment, the appearance rate (%) of the 2R probability variation big hit game can be set higher than the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R probability variation big hit game. In this case, the ratio of the special 2R probability variation big hit game out of the appearance rate (%) of the special 2R type game is larger than the proportion of the 2R probability variation big hit game out of the normal 2R game appearance rate (%). It should be high.

  In the present embodiment, the ratio of special 2R probability variation big hit games out of the appearance rate (%) of special 2R games is higher than the proportion of special 2R game appearance big hit games in the appearance rate (%) of normal 2R games. Within the range that guarantees the relationship, the winning probability of winning lottery (big hit lottery and small hitting lottery), the distribution mode for special symbols of special figure distribution random numbers (big hit symbols), and the like may be changed. That is, a pachinko gaming machine having specifications that differ from the present embodiment in the big hit lottery and specifications that differ from the present embodiment in the proportion of the big hit that is a promising big hit (probability variation ratio) have the same effects as in the present embodiment.

  -In this embodiment, the specification by the structure of a hit type can also be changed, for example, the small hit game corresponding to a special 2R type game can also be set. It should be noted that “supporting special 2R games” means that it is difficult to discriminate them from the opening / closing operation mode and time of the special winning opening 28 or from the production side.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the time (opening / closing operation | movement aspect), round game time, and each interval time concerning one opening / closing of the special winning opening 28 within the range which can show the effect of this embodiment.

  -In this embodiment, it can also be set as the structure which provided the two big prize winning openings. In this case, for example, the 16R probability variation jackpot game can be developed by the big prize opening 28, and the normal 2R system game and the special 2R system game can be developed by the big prize opening provided in addition to the big prize opening 28. Even in such a case, in the normal 2R game and the special 2R game, it is only necessary that the winning game is developed using the same prize winning opening.

  In the present embodiment, the sub integrated control board 36 may be omitted, and various commands from the main control board 35 may be output to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the upper limit number of entering balls in one round game. Depending on this, the setting range of the total opening time can be expanded. That is, if the upper limit number of entrances is reduced, the time required to enter the upper limit number of entrances in one round game can be set short, while if the upper limit number of entrances is increased, one round game can be performed. The time required to enter the upper limit number of balls can be set longer.

  In this embodiment, the specified number of rounds per game can be changed. For example, the specified number of rounds for a 2R probability variable big hit game (first high probability hit game), a special 2R probability variable big hit game (second high probability long hit game), and a special 2R non-probable big hit game (low probability hit game) are: It may be 3 times or 4 times or more. However, it is preferable to make the change within a range in which some relationship of the prize balls that the player can acquire is maintained. The small hit game needs to be changed to a configuration according to the configuration of the 2R probability variable big hit game (first high probability hit game). In addition, the total number of times the special winning opening 28 is opened through the winning game can be changed. In addition, the number of rounds in all winning games and the total number of times the big winning opening 28 is opened through the winning games may be matched. However, it is preferable that the hit game corresponding to the small hit game or the 2R probability variation big hit game makes it difficult for the player to acquire a prize ball than the hit game corresponding to the special 2R game.

Next, technical ideas that can be grasped from the above-described embodiment and other examples are added below.
