It is configured to be possible. In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is generated. The probability variation state is advantageous to the player because the winning probability of the big hit lottery varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur. In the present embodiment, a jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the big hit game ends becomes a probability variation big hit, and a jackpot that does not give a probability variation state (gives a non-probability changed state) after the big hit game ends becomes a non-probability variable big hit.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment is configured to be able to give a variable time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “shortening”) state after the big hit game ends. In the variable state, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shortened, and the winning probability (lottery probability) of the lottery based on the passage through the gate 22 is higher than the normal state (low probability, for example, 13/251). It is improved (varied) to a probability (for example, 250/251). In the variable speed state, the open / close blade 19 of the lower start winning opening 18 opens and closes in an operation pattern different from the non-variable state in which the variable speed state is not given when winning by lottery per ordinary drawing. Specifically, in the non-variable short state, when the open / close blade 19 is won by a lottery per ordinary symbol (when the symbol of a usual symbol is derived in a normal symbol variation game), a first predetermined number of times ( (For example, once), and the open state is maintained until a first opening time (for example, 0.3 seconds) elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the variable state, the open / close blade 19 is opened by a second number (for example, three times) larger than the first number when the lottery is won by a lottery per ordinary figure, and is opened after the first opening. The open state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1.58 seconds) longer than the one opening time elapses. In this way, the variable state can be advantageous for the player because the open / close blade 19 operates advantageously for the player and the rate of entering the lower start winning opening 18 per unit time is improved. The variable speed state is a state in which the opening time increases with an increase in the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 19, and is a state in which the entrance rate is improved by increasing the opening time. It is also an easy entry state where it is easy to enter the start winning opening 18.

  After the special big hit game D is completed, if the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is a game state with a variable state, the variable state is given until the next big hit occurs. On the other hand, after the special big hit game D ends, the shortage state is not given when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is a game state that does not involve the shortage state. In addition, after the special big hit game E is over, the variable state is given until the next big hit occurs regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. In the following explanation, the big hit corresponding to the special figure ZC1 is indicated as “special probability variation big hit C”, the big hit corresponding to the special figure ZD1 is indicated as “special probability variable big hit D”, and the big hit corresponding to the special figure ZE1 is indicated as “special probability variable big hit C”. Big hit E ”.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment, the specified number of round games in all jackpot games is set to the same “9 times”. In the present embodiment, “9 times” is the specific number, the big hits A to F are the first hits, and the big hit games A to F are the first big hit games. Further, in the present embodiment, the big hits A and F are normally the first hit, and the normal big hit games A and F are the normal first hit games. In the present embodiment, the special probability variation big hits C to E are special first hits, and the special big hit games C to E are special first hit games. In this embodiment, the special probability variation big hit C becomes the third special big hit, the special probability variation big hit D becomes the second special big hit, and the special probability variation big hit E becomes the first special big hit. In the present embodiment, the special probability variable big hit B is the special first hit, and the special big hit game B is the special first hit game.

Next, the small hit game G will be described.
The small hit game G based on the small hit symbol classified as the special figure ZG1 does not have a prescribed number of rounds, but the opening operation of the big winning opening 21 with an open time of 0.06 seconds is used for each big hit game A It is set to be performed 9 times, which is equal to the prescribed number of rounds of ~ F. In the small hit game G, the OP time is 0 (zero) seconds, the interval time between the opening operations of the big winning opening 21 is 2.34 seconds (second interval time), and the ED time is 2.654 seconds. Is set.

  In each of the special big hit games C to E and the small hit game G of this embodiment, although the OP time and the ED time are slightly different, the game time from the start to the end of the hit game is 21.914 seconds. It is set to be the same and the opening mode of the special winning opening 21 is set to be the same. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to determine which of the special big hit games C to E and the small hit game G is given from the open state of the big winning opening 21. Further, in the special big hit game B, the special big hit games C to E, and the small hit game G of the present embodiment, the opening manner of the big winning opening 21 is the same until the first opening operation is completed. . For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the special jackpot game B, the special jackpot games C to E, and the small jackpot game G, the first prize winning mouth 21 until the first to ninth opening of the big prize winning mouth 21 is completed. It is difficult to recognize which winning game is given from the open mode. It should be noted that in the opening operation of the big winning opening 21 with the opening time being 0.06 seconds, the opening time of the big winning opening 21 is extremely short, and the game ball cannot be actually won into the big winning opening 21. .

  In addition, after the small hit game G ends, the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is maintained. For example, when the game state at the time of winning the small hitting lottery is a probable change state and a non-changeable state, the positive change state and the non-changeable state are maintained throughout the small hit game G. In the present embodiment, the small hit G is the second hit, and the small hit game G is the second hit game.

  Thus, in this embodiment, while the special drawings Z1 to Z60 classified into the first special drawings ZA1 to ZE1 and the second special drawing ZA2 are hit and become specific symbols to which a certain change state is given after the game ends. The special drawings Z61 to Z100 classified as special drawings ZF1 and ZF2 are non-specific symbols in which the probability variation state is not given (the non-probability variation state is imparted) after the game ends. In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of the number of winning balls that can be obtained through one hit game, the special probability variation big hit C to E = small hit G <special probability variation big hit B≈normal probability variable big hit A = normal non-probable big hit F in this order. An advantageous win. On the other hand, in the non-variable short state, from the viewpoint of whether or not the short state is given after the winning game, the special probability variation big hit D = small hit G <special probability variable big hit C <special probability variable big hit E <normal non-probable big hit F <Normal probability variation big hit A = Special probability variation big hit B In order of advantageous hits. Further, in the non-probability variation state, from the viewpoint of whether or not the probability variation state is given after the winning game is finished, the normal non-probability variation big hit F = small hit G <normal probability variation big hit A = special probability variation big hit B = special probability variation big hit C˜ It becomes an advantageous hit in order of E.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment has a plurality of types (four types in the present embodiment) for indicating (notifying) the possibility that the gaming state is a probable change state. As the production mode, a first normal mode MA, a second normal mode MB, a chance mode MC, and a probability variation mode MK are prepared. In addition, 1st normal mode MA and 2nd normal mode MB of this embodiment are made into the production mode which can stay when a game state is a non-variable state. On the other hand, the chance mode MC and the probability variation mode MK of the present embodiment are effect modes that allow the user to stay when the gaming state is the variable state.

  In the first normal mode MA, a background image HGa (shown in white) is set as a background image for the symbol variation game in the effect display device 11. In the second normal mode MB, a background image HGb (indicated by a downward slanting diagonal line) is set as a background image for the symbol variation game in the effect display device 11. In the chance mode MC, a background image HGc (indicated by a downward slanting diagonal line) is set as a background image for the symbol variation game in the effect display device 11. In the probability variation mode MK, a background image HGd (indicated by vertical stripes) is set as a background image for the symbol variation game in the effect display device 11. Here, each background image HGa to HGd is displayed in an image display so as to overlap behind the decorative symbols in each row in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 11, and constitutes a jackpot symbol and a missing symbol. It is an image different from the decorative design of each row to be obtained. During the stay of each mode MA to MC, MK, the effect display device 11 displays the background images HGa to HGd corresponding to the effect mode in which the user is staying (set) and plays the symbol variation game. For this reason, in this embodiment, by visually recognizing the background images HGa to HGd displayed on the effect display device 11, it is possible to recognize in which effect mode the player is staying.

  Next, the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a mode transition effect for informing the transition destination effect mode. The mode transition effect of the present embodiment includes a first transition effect that informs that the effect mode is transitioned and a second transition effect that is executed following the first transition effect and informs the transition destination effect mode. It is configured. The first transition effect of the present embodiment is executed in such a manner that a character image (for example, “mode transition chance!” Etc.) informing that the effect mode is changed is displayed on the effect display device 11. In addition, the second transition effect of the present embodiment is executed in such a manner that a character image (for example, “second normal mode entry!” Or the like) informing the transition destination effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 11. Thus, in the present embodiment, the effect mode and the mode transition effect are executed as one of the display effects (game effects).

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a special notification effect that notifies that the current big hit game is the special big hit game B. The special notification effect of the present embodiment is executed in such a manner that a character image (for example, “Congratulations, special big hit game B!” Etc.) is displayed on the effect display device 11 to notify that it is a special jackpot game B. The

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine P will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine P is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine P and outputs various control commands (control commands) according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 controls the operation of various effect devices based on the control command output by the main control board 30.

  In addition, an external connection for connecting external devices (table data display device DH, hall computer HC, etc.) other than the main body of the pachinko gaming machine P to the back side of the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment. A terminal board 25 is attached. The external connection terminal plate 25 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of connectors 25a to 25d to which external devices can be connected, and control signals are output from the connectors 25a to 25d, respectively. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the external connection terminal plate 25 is a connection means. In the present embodiment, the first connector 25a outputs a hit signal indicating that the big hit game is given when a specific big hit game is given among the big hit games A to F. The second connector 25b outputs a special hit signal indicating that the hit game is given when any of the hit games A to G is given. When the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine P is the changing state, the third connector 25c outputs a gaming state signal indicating that the changing state (the easy entering state). The fourth connector 25d outputs a game execution signal indicating the execution (end) of the special figure changing game every time the special figure changing game is ended (every time the special figure is confirmed and stopped and displayed).

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control CPU that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 30c is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected to various switches SW1 to SW4 so that detection signals output by detecting the game balls can be input. The special control display devices 12 and 13, the special drawing hold display devices 14 and 15, and the normal symbol display device 16 are connected to the main control CPU 30 a. An external connection terminal board 25 is connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs various random number values such as a jackpot determination random number, a reach determination random number, and a special symbol distribution random number (hereinafter referred to as a "special pattern distribution random number") at predetermined intervals. Random number update processing (random number generation processing) to be updated is executed. The big hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination). The reach determination random number is a random number used in the reach lottery (reach determination) to determine whether or not to form a reach in the case of not winning the big win in the big win lottery. The random number for special figure distribution is a random number used when determining the big hit symbol of the special figure when winning in the big hit lottery, and is set to all 100 kinds of integer values from 0 to 99. In the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment, 100 types of special figure distribution random numbers are associated with each of the 100 special figure jackpot symbols. The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine P.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program and various determination values (such as a big hit determination value, a small hit determination value, and a reach determination value). The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number (all 600 integers from 0 to 599). And the big hit judgment value is the judgment value for non-probability change used in the big hit lottery in the non-probable change state (low probability big hit judgment value) and the judgment value for probability change used in the big hit lottery in the probability change state (high probability big hit judgment value) There is. The set number of determination values for probability variation (20 in this embodiment) is set larger than the number of determination values for non-probability variation (two in this embodiment). According to such setting, the probability of winning in the big hit lottery in the non-probable change state is 2/600, while the probability of winning in the big win lottery in the probable change state is 20/600.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery, and is determined from numerical values (all 600 integers from 0 to 599) that the big hit determination random number can take. In this embodiment, eight values different from the values set as the jackpot determination values (the probability variation determination value and the non-probability variation determination value) are set as the jackpot determination values so as not to overlap with the aforementioned jackpot determination value. ing. According to such a setting, the probability of affirmative determination in the small hit determination is 8/600. The reach determination value is a determination value used in internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not to form a reach when determining a loss, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for reach determination (all 241 from 0 to 240). It is determined from the (integer of the street). In the present embodiment, two values are set as reach determination values, and according to such settings, the probability of affirmative determination in reach determination is 2/241.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a pattern that serves as a base for effects (display effects, light-emitting effects, sound effects) from the start of the special map variable game to the end of the special map variable game. The content (production content) and the variation time (production time) can be specified. In this embodiment, the plurality of types of variation patterns can be classified into variation patterns for hit variation, variation patterns for deviation reach variation, and variation patterns for deviation variation. The variation pattern for hit variation is further classified into a variation pattern for normal hit variation, special hit variation, and special hit variation.

  The normal hit variation is an effect developed through a reach effect so that the special figure changing game finally displays the big hit symbol in a fixed stop state. The loss reach variation is an effect that is developed so that the special symbol variation game finally displays the symbols to be confirmed and stopped after reaching the reach effect. The deviation variation is an effect that is developed so that the special symbol variation game finally displays the symbols to be confirmed and stopped without reaching the reach effect. In the reach effect, in the symbol change game with the decorative pattern of the effect display device 11, for example, a predetermined character is displayed between the time when the reach is formed and the time when the symbol combination (big hit symbol or off symbol) is finally derived. It is a production performed by making it appear. Further, the special hit fluctuation and the special hit fluctuation are effects that are developed so that the special figure fluctuation game finally displays a specific off-set symbol in a fixed stop state without going through the reach effect. In the first special figure display device 12 and the second special figure display device 13, when the special figure fluctuation game is started, the fluctuation of the symbols is continued until the elapse of the fluctuation time without performing the reach effect. .

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a fluctuation pattern P1 is prepared as a fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuation (usually deviation fluctuation), and a fluctuation pattern P2 is provided as a fluctuation pattern for deviation reach fluctuation. In the present embodiment, a fluctuation pattern P3 is prepared as a fluctuation pattern for normal hit fluctuation, a fluctuation pattern P4a is provided as a fluctuation pattern for special hit fluctuation, and a fluctuation pattern P4b is provided as a fluctuation pattern for special hit fluctuation.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, on the effect control board 31, an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and writing of necessary data An effect control RAM 31c that can be read is provided. The effect control CPU 31a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values at predetermined intervals. Various information (random value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine P is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image display data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). In addition, various determination values are stored in the effect control ROM 31b.

  Hereinafter, the special symbol input process (hereinafter referred to as “special figure input process”) or the special symbol start process (hereinafter referred to as “special figure start process”) executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program. ) Will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes such as a special figure input process and a special figure start process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms). The special figure start process is executed after the special figure input process is completed.

First, the special figure input process will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the upper start winning port 17 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the start port switch SW1 (step SA1). If the determination result of step SA1 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has an upper limit of 4 for the number of first start-up balls stored in the main control RAM 30c (hereinafter referred to as "first hold memory number"). It is determined whether it is less than (step SA2). If the determination result in step SA2 is affirmative (the first reserved memory number is less than 4), the main control CPU 30a increments the first reserved memory number by +1 (1 addition) (step SA3). That is, the main control CPU 30a causes the main control RAM 30c to store the game ball detected by the upper start winning opening 17 as the first start holding ball. The main control CPU 30a that has updated (added 1) the first reserved memory count controls the display content of the first special figure hold display device 14 so as to display the updated (added) first reserved memory count. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads various random number values (in this embodiment, the value of the big hit determination random number, the reach determination random number, and the special figure distribution random number) from the main control RAM 30c. The obtained value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c corresponding to the first reserved storage number (step SA4).

  If the determination result of step SA1 is negative, if the determination result of step SA2 is negative, or if the process of step SA4 ends, does the main control CPU 30a continue to input a detection signal from the start port switch SW2? Based on whether or not, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the lower start winning opening 18 (step SA5). When the determination result of step SA5 is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure input process. If the determination result in step SA5 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has an upper limit on the number of stored second start-up balls stored in the main control RAM 30c (hereinafter referred to as "second stored memory number"). Is less than 4 (step SA6). If the determination result of step SA6 is negative (the second reserved memory number is not less than 4), the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step SA6 is affirmative (the second reserved memory number is less than 4), the main control CPU 30a increments the second reserved memory number by +1 (1 addition) (step SA7). That is, the main control CPU 30a causes the main control RAM 30c to store the game ball detected by the lower start winning opening 18 as the second start holding ball. The main control CPU 30a that has updated (added 1) the second reserved memory number controls the display content of the second special figure hold display device 15 so as to display the updated (after added) second reserved memory number. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads various random number values (in this embodiment, the value of the big hit determination random number, the reach determination random number, and the special figure distribution random number) from the main control RAM 30c. The obtained value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c corresponding to the second reserved storage number (step SA8). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure input process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the main control RAM 30c functions as a start-and-hold ball storage unit.

Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the execution condition of the special figure variation game is satisfied (step SB1). Specifically, the main control CPU 30a performs step SB1 when the first special figure variable game is being executed, the second special figure variable game is being executed, or a winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is being executed. Make a negative decision. When the determination result of step SB1 is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step SB1 is affirmative (not in the special figure variation game and not in the winning game), the main control CPU 30a has the second reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c being 0. It is determined whether it is larger than (zero) (step SB2). If the determination result in step SB2 is affirmative (the second reserved memory number is 1 or more), the main control CPU 30a has a second reserved figure variation game that is on hold, so the second reserved memory number is set to -1 (1 Subtraction) (step SB3). Further, the main control CPU 30a that has updated (subtracted 1) the second reserved memory number controls the display content of the second special figure hold display device 15 so as to display the updated second updated memory number (after subtraction). To do. Then, the main control CPU 30a is associated with the second reserved storage number and stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c (a big hit determination random number, a reach determination random number, a special figure distribution use). A random number value is read (step SB4).

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the jackpot determination random number with the jackpot determination value and determines whether or not both values match (step SB5). In the present embodiment, the process of step SB5 is a hit determination, a second hit determination, and a big hit determination. At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs the second big hit determination using the non-probability change determination value when the current game state is the non-probability change state, while the current game state is the probabilistic change determination. The second big hit determination is performed using the value. Note that the main control CPU 30a grasps whether or not the current gaming state is a probability change state based on a control flag (a probability change flag described later) set in the main control RAM 30c.

  When the determination result of step SB5 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbol and the variation pattern of the second special diagram (step SB6). More specifically, the main control CPU 30a reads a special figure distribution random number value stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved storage number. Then, the main control CPU 30a uses the special figure distribution random number value to display any special figure among the special figures Z1 to Z100 on the second special figure display device 13 (a big hit). Determined as a symbol). Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a fluctuation pattern for normal hit fluctuation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  If the determination result in step SB5 is negative, the main control CPU 30a recognizes that the big hit determination random number is not a big hit value and moves to the processing in step SB7. In step SB7, the main control CPU 30a reads out the reach determination random number value stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved storage number, and the reach determination random number value. And reach determination values are compared to determine whether or not both values match (step SB7). If the determination result in step SB7 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach in the reach lottery, and therefore determines a special symbol to be displayed on the second special diagram display device 13 as a fixed stop, and determines the miss reach. A variation pattern for variation is selected and determined (step SB8). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step SB7 is negative, the main control CPU 30a has not won the reach in the reach lottery, and therefore determines the special symbol to be displayed on the special diagram display device 12 as a fixed stop, A fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuation (usually deviation fluctuation) is selected and determined (step SB9). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step SB2 is negative (the second reserved memory number is 0 (zero)), the main control CPU 30a has the first reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c is 0 (zero). It is determined whether it is larger than (step SB10). When the determination result of step SB10 is negative (the first reserved storage number is 0 (zero)), the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step SB10 is affirmative (the first reserved memory number is 1 or more), the main control CPU 30a has a first special figure variation game that is being held, so the first reserved memory number is -1. (1 subtraction) is performed (step SB11). Further, the main control CPU 30a that has updated (subtracted 1) the first reserved memory number controls the display content of the first special figure hold display device 14 so as to display the updated (after subtraction) first reserved memory number. To do. Then, the main control CPU 30a stores various random numbers (a jackpot determination random number, a reach determination random number, and a special figure distribution) associated with the first reserved storage number and stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. (Random number) is read (step SB12).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, the main control CPU 30a compares the jackpot determination random number value with the jackpot determination value, and determines whether or not both values match (step SB13). In the present embodiment, the process of step SB13 is a hit determination, a first hit determination, and a big hit determination. At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs the first big hit determination using the non-probability change determination value when the current gaming state is the non-probability change state, while the current game state is the probabilistic change determination. The first big hit determination is performed using the value. When the determination result of step SB13 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbol and the variation pattern of the first special diagram (step SB14). Specifically, in step SB14, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the special figure distribution random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number. Then, the main control CPU 30a uses the special figure distribution random number to make any special figure among the special figures Z1 to Z100 be displayed on the first special figure display device 12 in a fixed stop state (big hit). Determined as a symbol). At this time, when determining the first special drawings ZA1 and ZF1, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a fluctuation pattern for normal hit fluctuation. When determining the first special figure ZB1, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for special hit variation. When determining the first special drawings ZC1 to ZE1, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for special hit variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step SB13 is negative, the main control CPU 30a compares the big hit determination random number used in the processing of step SB13 with the small hit determination value, and determines whether or not both values match. Determination is made (step SB15). In the present embodiment, the process of step SB15 is a hit determination, a first hit determination, and a small hit determination. When the determination result of step SB15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines any of the special drawings Z101 to Z125 as a special figure (small hit symbol) that causes the first special figure display device 12 to display a fixed stop. In addition, a variation pattern for special hit variation is selected and determined (step SB16). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  If the determination result in step SB15 is negative, the main control CPU 30a recognizes a deviation from the value of the big hit determination random number that is not a big hit or small hit value, and proceeds to the processing of step SB17. In step SB17, the main control CPU 30a reads the reach determination random number value stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number, and the reach determination random number value. And reach determination values are compared to determine whether or not both values match. If the determination result in step SB17 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach in the reach lottery, and therefore determines a special symbol to be displayed on the first special diagram display device 12 as a fixed stop, and determines the miss reach. A variation pattern for variation is selected and determined (step SB18). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step SB17 is negative, the main control CPU 30a has not won the reach in the reach lottery, and therefore determines the dissatisfied symbol as the special figure to be displayed on the first special figure display device 12 in a fixed stop display. At the same time, a fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuation (usually deviation fluctuation) is selected and determined (step SB19). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the special figure and the variation pattern, in a process different from the special figure start process, generates a control command generated according to the determined matter of the special figure start process at a predetermined timing. It outputs to CPU31a for production control. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing a variation pattern and for instructing the start of the symbol variation game of the effect display device 11 at the time of starting the special symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special figure designation command for designating a special figure and then outputs the fluctuation pattern designation command. The main control CPU 30a then outputs an all symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (the symbol fixed stop display) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed. The main control CPU 30a causes the special figure display devices 12 and 13 to start the fluctuation of the special figure, together with the output of the fluctuation pattern designation command, and causes the special figure to be fixedly stopped and displayed together with the output of the all symbols stop command.

  According to such a configuration, in the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment, the first special figure changing game is executed on condition that the second special figure changing game is not put on hold. In other words, in the present embodiment, it can be said that the second special figure fluctuation game is executed in preference to the first special figure fluctuation game. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes the special figure starting process functions as a hit determination means, a big hit determination means, a small hit determination means, and a big hit type determination means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a for determining the big hit symbol of the special figure in the special figure starting process functions as a hitting type determining means.

Next, a process executed by the main control CPU 30a regarding the winning game will be described.
The main control CPU 30a first outputs an opening command for instructing the execution of the opening effect when the special fluctuation game for winning variation ends. Next, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command instructing the start of the round game every time the round game is started after the opening time has elapsed. In the case of a small hit game, a command for instructing execution of an effect corresponding to the first opening of the big winning opening 21 is output. Also, the main control CPU 30a opens the grand prize opening door 20 by opening the round game and opens the big prize opening 21, and closes the grand prize opening door 20 when the round end condition is satisfied. Then, the special winning opening 21 is closed. At this time, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes the big prize opening 21 according to the opening mode of the big prize opening 21 during the round game set for each type of winning game. When the final round game is finished, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing execution of the ending effect, and ends the winning game by ending the ending effect when the ending time has elapsed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a winning game granting unit.

Next, game state processing executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described.
The main control CPU 30a sets a probability variation flag to “1” when giving a probability variation state after the end of the big hit game, and outputs a probability variation command instructing the probability variation state. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a sets a probability change flag to “0” and outputs a non-probability change command instructing the non-probability change state when the probability change state is not given after the big hit game ends. The probability variation flag is stored in the main control RAM 30c.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” in the operation flag and outputs an operation command for instructing the variable state when the variable state is given after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” in the operation flag and outputs a non-operation command for instructing the non-variable state when the variable state is not given after the big hit game ends. The operation flag is stored in the main control RAM 30c. Also, the main control CPU 30a performs main control of “40 times” as the number of operation times indicating the number of remaining special figure variable games to which the variable state is given after the normal big hit game F based on the special symbols ZF1 and ZF2. To a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” the number of times of operation every time the special figure variation game is executed, and when the value becomes “0”, sets the operation flag to “0” and outputs a non-operation command. To do.

  The main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the probability variation flag, the operation flag, and the number of operations at the start of the big hit games A to F. Thereby, the gaming state during the big hit game is a non-probable variation state and a non-variable short state. Further, in the case of the small hit game G, the main control CPU 30a continues the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery, and therefore maintains all the current setting values of the probability variation flag, the operation flag, and the number of operations. In this way, the main control CPU 30a determines that the game state after the end of the big hit game is the same as the game state at the time of the big hit determination, and is different depending on which of the big hits A to F is determined. Control is made to any one of the gaming states. On the other hand, when the small hit G is determined, the main control CPU 30a controls the game state after the end of the small hit game G so that the game state at the time of the small hit determination is maintained (small Control to the same gaming state as the gaming state at the time of the hit determination). That is, the main control CPU 30a maintains the gaming state at the time of the small hit determination through the small hit game G. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a state control unit.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described.
First, the control executed by the effect control CPU 31a when a variation pattern designation command is input will be described.

  When the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a selects image display data based on the change contents (effect contents) corresponding to the change pattern instructed by the command. In addition, when the special control designating command is input, the effect control CPU 31a generates a decorative pattern to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 in accordance with the command. Specifically, when the first special chart ZA1 or the second special chart ZA2 is designated as the special figure, the effect control CPU 31a can recognize the big hit symbol (for example, “777” as the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol. Etc.). When the first special figure ZF1 or the second special figure ZF2 is designated as the special figure, the effect control CPU 31a generates a big hit symbol (for example, “222”) that can recognize the non-probable big hit as the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol To do. In addition, when the first special figure ZB1 to ZE1 or the first special figure ZG1 is specified as the special figure, the CPU 31a for effect control uses a specific off-line symbol (for example, “123”, etc.) as the off symbol of the decorative symbol. Generate. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a generates an off symbol as a decorative symbol when a special symbol off symbol is designated. At this time, when the variation pattern for variation of the detachment reach is designated, the effect control CPU 31a generates a detachment symbol including the reach symbol as a decorative symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed in the symbol variation game.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 11 so as to start the variable display of the decorative symbols and start the symbol variable game. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a temporarily displays the generated jackpot symbol or the off symbol at the end of the variation time indicated by the input variation pattern, and also displays the fixed stop with the input of all symbol stop commands. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine P according to the present embodiment, when winning B to E and G is won, the winning B to E and G are determined from the variation contents of the special figure variation game and the decorative symbols displayed to be confirmed and stopped. It is difficult to recognize which is winning. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a functions as a game control means.

Next, the contents of control performed by the effect control CPU 31a in order to execute the effect during the winning game will be described.
When the opening control command, the round command, and the ending command are input from the main control CPU 30a, the effect control CPU 31a selects the image display data for the effect during the hit game corresponding to these commands. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 11 based on the selected image display data, and executes a predetermined effect during the winning game.

  Here, when the opening command, each round command, and the ending command related to the normal jackpot games A and F are input, the effect control CPU 31a of the present embodiment selects the corresponding effect effect image data. Further, when the opening control command related to the special big hit game C to E or the small hit game G is input, the effect control CPU 31a selects the image display data D1. In this embodiment, when the opening control command related to the special jackpot game B is input, the effect control CPU 31a selects the image display data D2 as the image display data for the opening effect and the first round effect.

  Here, the contents of the effects shown in the image display data D1 and D2 will be described in detail. In the image display data D1, the execution of the first transition effect described above is performed as the effect contents from the start of each game C to E, G to the start of the opening operation of the ninth prize winning opening 21. It has been established. Further, in the image display data D1, in each winning game C to E, G, as the contents of the effect from the opening of the ninth big winning opening 21 to the end of the winning game (ending effect), the above-mentioned first 2 Execution of transition production is defined. The transition-destination effect mode notified by the second transition effect is an effect mode determined by a mode transition process to be described later.

  On the other hand, the image display data D2 includes the first transition described above as the contents of the presentation from the start of the special jackpot game B (start of the opening effect) until the opening operation of the ninth big winning opening 21 is started. The execution of the production is determined. In addition, in the image display data D2, the execution of the above-described special notification effect is defined as the effect content from the start of the opening operation of the ninth grand prize opening 21 to the end of the first round game. Yes. When the round command designating the second and subsequent round games related to the special jackpot game B is input, the effect control CPU 31a displays an image for the second and subsequent round effects selected in the normal jackpot games A and F. Select the same (common) image display data as the data.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, any one of the winning games B to E and G is displayed from the display effect of the effect display device 11 until the opening operation of the ninth prize winning opening 21 is started from the start of the winning game. It is difficult to recognize whether it is granted. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when winning B to E, G is won, the effect display device from the start of the winning special figure variation game until the opening operation of the ninth big winning opening 21 in the winning game is started. 11 is the same (substantially the same) as the display effect (design variation game) in 11 and the opening mode of the special winning opening 21. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine P according to the present embodiment, it is difficult to determine which of winning B to E or G is won until the opening operation of the ninth big winning opening 21 in the winning game is started. .

Next, a mode transition process performed by the effect control CPU 31a in order to execute the effect mode will be described.
The effect control CPU 31a is triggered by the start of the winning game (input of the opening command), based on the special figure designated by the special figure designation command (the type of winning winning) and the gaming state at the time of winning the winning lottery. The presentation mode after the end of the game is determined. The effect control CPU 31a specifies the gaming state at the time of winning the winning lottery from the input probability change command, non-probability change command, operation command, and non-operation command. The effect control CPU 31a sets the determined effect mode with the end of the winning game (ending effect), and selects image display data corresponding to the set effect mode. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 11 based on the selected image display data, displays the background image corresponding to the set effect mode, and starts the effect mode. In the present embodiment, the presentation mode may be switched when the special-fluctuation variation game of the normal deviation variation based on the variation pattern P1 is executed. Details will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the effect control CPU 31a wins the small hit G, and if the game state at the time of winning the win lottery is an unchangeable state, the effect mode after the winning game ends. As a result, the second normal mode MB is determined. In addition, when the special control variable big hits C and D are won and the change control state is not given as the game state after the big hit game ends, the effect control CPU 31a is the second normal mode as the presentation mode after the end of the hit game. Determine the MB. Also, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to shift to the second normal effect pattern MB when the change pattern P1 (usually deviation change) is specified by the change pattern specifying command while staying in the first normal mode MA. Promotional decision is made by lottery. When the determination result of the promotion determination is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control sets the second normal mode MB and displays the effect so that it can be switched to the background image HGb with the start of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P1. The apparatus 11 is controlled. The effect control CPU 31a makes an affirmative determination of the promotion determination at a higher rate when the gaming state at the time when the variation pattern P1 is input is the probability variation state than in the non-probability variation state.

  In addition, when the variation pattern P1 is designated by the variation pattern designation command while staying in the second normal mode MB, the effect control CPU 31a performs a downgrade determination as to whether or not to shift to the first normal mode MA by lottery. . When the determination result of the demotion determination is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a sets the first normal effect mode MB and effects to be switched to the background image HGa with the start of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P1. The display device 11 is controlled. When the game state at the time when the variation pattern P1 is input is the probability variation state, the effect control CPU 31a affirmatively determines the demotion determination at a lower rate than the case of the non-probability variation state. In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a shifts the effect mode in response to the affirmative determination in the demotion determination or the promotion determination, the effect display device 11 can switch the background image without executing the mode transition effect described above. To control.

  Further, when the big hit A, B, E is won, the production control CPU 31a determines the probability variation mode MK as the production mode after the big hit game regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big win lottery. Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines the probability variation mode MK as the effect mode after the end of the hit game when the winning state is given as the game state after the end of the big hit game in the case where the big hit C, D is won. To do. The effect control CPU 31a determines the chance mode MC as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of the big win lottery, when the non-probable big hit F is won.

  When the game control CPU 31a wins the small hit G, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a variable state and a promiscuous state, the probability change mode MK as the presentation mode after the small hit game ends. On the other hand, when the gaming state at the time of winning the small hitting lottery is a changeable state and a non-probable changing state, the chance mode MC is determined as an effect mode after the end of the small hitting game. Further, when the variable state ends with the end of the 40th special figure changing game from the end of the normal big hit game F, the effect control CPU 31a performs the first normal mode with the end of the 40th special figure changing game. While setting MA, the effect display apparatus 11 is controlled so that it can switch to the background image HGa.

  With the configuration as described above, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the probability variation state, it is easier to stay in the second normal mode MB as compared to the first normal mode MA, while the gaming state is the non-probability variation state. Compared to the second normal mode MB, it is easier to stay in the first normal mode MA. Therefore, the second normal mode MB of the present embodiment is positioned as an effect mode in which the gaming state is highly likely to be a certain change state as compared with the first normal mode MA. Further, the chance mode MC can be definitely recognized that the gaming state is a non-probability change state, while the probability change mode MK is positioned as an effect mode that can definitely recognize that the game state is a probability change state. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a functions as effect mode control means.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The same “9 times (specific number)” is set as the specified number of round games for all jackpot games A to F, and the jackpot is made through a single jackpot game. Includes special probability big hits C to E that give special big hit games C to E to be released nine times. Further, in the small hit game G, the big winning opening is opened nine times. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is difficult to specify the corresponding jackpot type (in other words, the type of profit) from the prescribed number of round games in the jackpot game. And it becomes difficult to grasp the type of big hit corresponding to the small hit G from the prescribed number of round games, and the player's interest in the small hit G can be enhanced. Therefore, in this embodiment, the interest of the player with respect to winning can be improved.

  (2) Set the same opening time (0.06 seconds) for the one-time opening time of the big winning opening 21 in the special big hit game C to E and the one opening time of the big winning opening 21 in the small hit game G. ing. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to recognize which of the special big hit games C to E and the small hit game G is given from the one opening time of the big winning opening 21.

  (3) In the big hit games B to E and the small hit game G, the opening time of the single winning opening 21 is the same time (0.06) until the opening operation of the nine winning winning openings 21 is completed. In the special jackpot game B, in the second and subsequent round games, the specified round time is set to 25 seconds and the special winning opening 21 is opened. Further, after the special big hit game B is finished, a variable state is given. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to recognize which of the hits B to E and G is determined until the nine opening operations of the big winning opening 21 are completed. In the present embodiment, in the second and subsequent round games, it is possible to acquire a larger number of game balls from the situation where the special winning opening 21 is opened with the round prescribed time set to 25 seconds, and the winning game It is possible to recognize that it is controlled to the variable state after the end, and to increase the interest of the player.

  (4) In the first round game of the special jackpot game B, after the opening operation of 0.06 seconds is executed 9 times, the special winning opening 21 is further opened for 24.46 seconds. For this reason, from the first round game of the special jackpot game B, the big winning opening 21 can be opened for 25 seconds, which is the same time as the round specified time of the normal jackpot games A and F. That is, in the special big hit game B, the big winning opening 21 is opened from the first round to the final round game in the same opening time as the normal big hit games A and F. Therefore, the interest of the player can be further improved.

  (5) The interval time between rounds in the special jackpot games C to E and the interval time between releases in the small jackpot game G are set to 2.34 seconds, which is longer than the 2 seconds that is the interval time of the regular jackpot games A and F. . For this reason, in this embodiment, the game time in the special jackpot games C to E and the small jackpot game G (mode transition effect in this embodiment) can be secured, and the player's interest can be improved.

  (6) In the special jackpot game B, while setting the interval time between opening until the opening operation of the 1st to 9th big winning opening 21 in the first round game is finished, The interval time is set to 2 seconds. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is difficult to recognize which of B to E or G until the special winning opening 21 is opened nine times, and the special winning opening 21 is opened nine times. After the game, the interval time is shortened to 2 seconds, and the digestion of the big hit game can be promoted. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the big hit game from being extended and the player's interest to decline.

  (7) The pachinko gaming machine P according to the present embodiment notifies that the small hit game G is the small hit game G when the small hit game G is given. The small hit notification lamp KH as the hit notification means is not mounted (not mounted). Further, in the pachinko gaming machine P of the present embodiment, the round notifying device RH serving as the number notifying means for notifying the specified number of round games of the jackpot game to be given as the jackpot games A to F are given. Is not installed (not installed). In general, the small hitting notification lamp KH is provided separately from the display devices 11 to 13 as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 1, for example, and is given by visually recognizing the display content (lighted state) ( It is possible to easily recognize that the (winning) hit game is the small hit game G. In general, the round notification device RH is provided separately from the display devices 11 to 13, for example, as shown by dotted lines in FIG. The number of times can be easily recognized.

  In such a conventional pachinko gaming machine (game machine) equipped with the small hit notification lamp KH and the round notification device RH, by visually checking the small hit notification lamp KH and the round notification device RH, the big hit and the small hit It was easy to recognize which one was won. For this reason, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, even if the presentation mode in the winning games B to E, G and the opening mode of the big winning opening 21 are the same, it is easily recognized whether it is a big hit or a small hit, There was a possibility that the interest of the player who recognized that it was a small hit G could not be improved. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine P according to the present embodiment, the small hit notification lamp KH and the round notification device RH are not mounted so that the big hit or the small hit is not notified and is determined internally. It is difficult to recognize the hit type. Therefore, in this embodiment, the interest of the player with respect to the hit including the small hit G can be improved.

  (8) In this embodiment, only the special symbol display devices 12 and 13 for displaying the special symbol variation game, and the effect display device 11 for displaying the decorative symbol variation game performed in conjunction with the special graphic variation game, The type of hit that has been decided has been announced. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 displays the mode transition effect in common when any of the special probability variation big hits C to E is determined and when the small hit G is determined. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to recognize the hit type determined internally, and it is possible to improve the player's interest in the hit including the small hit G.

  (9) In the present embodiment, as the big hit symbol of the first special figure, special figures ZC1 and ZD1 that may or may not be assigned after the big hit game may be determined may be determined. As the big hit symbol of the second special figure, only the special figures ZA and ZF to which the variable state is given after the big hit game can be determined. In other words, in the second special figure variation game based on the second start holding ball, the ratio for determining the hit to which the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game is high. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, when the variable state is given, the short state is easily given continuously as the second special figure variable game is easily executed. For this reason, in this embodiment, the sense of expectation for winning the jackpot to which the variable state is given can be further increased.

  (10) In particular, in the present embodiment, the second special figure changing game is executed with priority over the first special figure changing game. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, when the variable state is given, the short state is easily given continuously as the second special figure variable game is easily executed. For this reason, in this embodiment, the sense of expectation for winning the jackpot to which the variable state is given can be further enhanced.

(11) In the present embodiment, a mode transition effect is executed in response to winning C to E, G, and the player is made aware that there is a possibility that the gaming state has changed due to this mode transition effect. it can. Therefore, in this embodiment, the player's expectation for changing to a more advantageous gaming state can be enhanced.
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine P embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the already described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the redundant description thereof is omitted or simplified.

  In this embodiment, 56 types of special drawings Z1 to Z56 are classified into the second special drawing ZA2 among all 100 types of big special symbols of the second special drawing displayed on the second special drawing display device 13, and the special drawing is drawn. One type of Z57 is classified as a second special figure ZB2, and one type of special figure Z58 is classified as a second special figure ZC2. Further, one type of special figure Z59 is classified as second special figure ZD2, one type of special figure Z60 is classified as second special figure ZE2, and 40 types of special figures Z61 to Z100 are classified as first special figure ZF1. Has been. In the present embodiment, a special big hit game B is given when the second special figure ZB2 (special probability variable big hit B) is determined, and a special big hit game when the second special figure ZC2 (special probability variable big hit C) is decided. C is given. Similarly, in this embodiment, when the second special figure ZD2 (special probability variation big hit D) is determined, the special big hit game D is given, and when the second special figure ZE2 (special probability variation big hit E) is determined. Special jackpot game E is awarded.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit determination random number value and the small hit determination value used in step SB5 when the determination result in step SB5 of the special figure start process shown in FIG. 8 is negative. Comparison is made and a small hit determination is made as to whether or not both values match. When the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a displays a special figure (small hit symbol) that displays any special figure among the special figures Z101 to Z125 on the second special figure display device 13. And a variation pattern for special hit variation is selected and determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step SB9.

Next, information output processing performed by the main control CPU 30a to output various control signals from the external connection terminal board 25 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, processing for outputting a hit signal from the first connector 25a will be described.

First, a case where the gaming state at the time of winning determination (at the time of winning the winning lottery) is an unchangeable state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10, the main control CPU 30a does not output a hit signal from the first connector 25a in the case of the special big hit game C, and when no change state is given after the big hit game ends (non-output and non-output) To do). Further, in the case of the special big hit game D or the small hit game G, the main control CPU 30a does not output a hit signal from the first connector 25a (not output).

  The main control CPU 30a is in the case of the special jackpot game C, and when a variable state is given after the jackpot game is over, simultaneously with the start of the ninth round game (the ninth release operation) (with the start) In addition to outputting a hit signal from the first connector 25a, the output of the hit signal is ended when the ending effect ends. In the case of the special big hit game E, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hit signal from the first connector 25a simultaneously with the start of the ninth round game (the ninth release operation) and the ending The output of the hit signal is finished at the end of the production.

  In the case of the special big hit game B, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hit signal from the first connector 25a simultaneously with the start of the ninth release operation in the first round game (in addition to the start), and the ending effect. The output of the hit signal is terminated at the end of. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in each winning game B to E, G in the non-variable state, the start time of the ninth release operation is the specific time and the start time.

Next, a case where the gaming state at the time of winning determination (at the time of winning the winning lottery) is a variable state will be described.
In the case of big hit games B to E, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hit signal from the first connector 25a simultaneously with the start of the corresponding big hit game (opening effect) and with the end of the ending effect. End signal output. In the case of the small hit game G, the main control CPU 30a does not output a hit signal from the first connector 25a (not output). Therefore, in this embodiment, the end time of each winning game is the specific time in each winning game B to E, G in the variable state.

  In the case of jackpot games A and F, the main control CPU 30a starts from the first connector 25a simultaneously with the start of the corresponding jackpot game (opening effect) regardless of the gaming state at the time of the jackpot determination. The hit signal is output, and the output of the hit signal is finished when the ending effect is finished.

Next, a process for outputting a special hit signal from the second connector 25b will be described.
In the case of winning games A to G, the main control CPU 30a performs a special hit from the second connector 25b simultaneously with the start of the corresponding winning game (opening effect) regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit determination. The signal is output, and the output of the special hit signal is ended when the ending effect is ended.

Next, processing for outputting a gaming state signal from the third connector 25c will be described.
When the operation flag is set to “1” with the end of the big hit game (ending effect), the main control CPU 30a starts outputting the game state signal from the third connector 25c. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the gaming state signal until the operation flag is set to “0” and the variable state is terminated. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a does not output the game state signal from the third connector 25c (not output) when the operation flag is set to “0” with the end of the big hit game (ending effect). The main control CPU 30a does not change the value of the operation flag when the small hit game G is given during the changing state, so that the game from the third connector 25c continues during the small hit game G. Output a status signal.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a game execution signal from the fourth connector 25d for a short period (56 ms in the present embodiment) every time the special figure variation game ends (each time the special figure is fixedly stopped and displayed). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that outputs various signals to the external devices connected to the connectors 25a to 25d functions as a signal output unit. Further, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment can be grasped as information output means for outputting the gaming state information of the pachinko gaming machine P (whether the game is a big hit game or not) to an external device. .

  Next, the execution aspect of the light emission effect in the light emission part DHa of the table | surface data display apparatus DH, the information display in the game frequency display part DHb, and the information display in the winning number display part DHc is demonstrated.

First, the case where the table data display device DH is connected to the connectors 25a, 25c, and 25d will be described.
First, a case where the gaming state at the time of winning determination (at the time of winning the winning lottery) is an unchangeable state will be described.

  When the normal jackpot games A and F are given, the light emitting unit DHa starts the light emitting effect at the light emitting unit DHa simultaneously with the start of the normal jackpot games A and F (with the start), and the normal jackpot game A, F Simultaneously with the end of F (with the end), the light emission effect is ended. In addition, the number-of-hits display portion DHc displays the number obtained by adding 1 to the number of times of hitting hit games so far at the same time as the normal big hit games A and F are started (according to the start). In the game number display section DHb, the number of special figure variation games is reset to “0” simultaneously with the end of the normal big hit games A and F (with the end).

  In addition, when the special big hit game C is given and the variable state is not given, when the special big hit game D is given, or when the small hit game G is given, the light emitting unit DHa emits a light effect. Is not executed. In this case, the display content does not change in the winning number display part DHc and the game number display part DHb.

  In addition, when the special big hit game C is given and a variable shortage state is given, or when the special big hit game E is given (at the start of the ninth round game (opening operation)) At the same time, a light emission effect is started at the light emitting unit DHa, and at the same time (with the end) the light emission effect is ended. Similarly, when the special jackpot game B is awarded, the light emitting effect starts at the light emitting unit DHa simultaneously with the start of the ninth opening operation (with the start) and simultaneously with the end of the jackpot game (with the end) E) The lighting effect is ended. Further, in this case, the number-of-wins display DHc displays the number of times obtained by adding 1 to the number of hits of hit games so far simultaneously with the start of the ninth release operation (with the start). Further, in the game number display section DHb, the number of special figure variation games is reset to “0” simultaneously with the end of the big hit game (with the end).

Next, a case where the gaming state at the time of winning determination (at the time of winning the winning lottery) is a variable state will be described.
When the jackpot games A to F are awarded, the light emitting unit DHa starts a light emitting effect simultaneously with the start of the corresponding jackpot game (opening effect) and simultaneously with the end of the jackpot game (end). The light emission effect is terminated. Further, in this case, the number-of-hits display portion DHc displays the number obtained by adding 1 to the number of hit games so far at the same time as the big-hit games A to F are started. Further, in the game number display section DHb, the number of special figure variation games is reset to “0” simultaneously with the end of the big hit games A to F (with the end).

  When the small hit game G is given regardless of the game state at the time of the hit determination, the light emitting unit DHa does not execute the light emitting effect, and the hit number display unit DHc and the game number display unit DHb display The content does not change.

Next, a case where the table data display device DH is connected to the connectors 25b, 25c, and 25d will be described.
Regardless of the game state at the time of the hit determination, when the hit games A to G are awarded, the light emitting section DHa starts the light emitting effect simultaneously with the start of the corresponding hit game (opening effect). At the same time, the light emission effect is ended simultaneously with the end of the winning game. Further, in this case, the number-of-wins display section DHc displays the number of times obtained by adding 1 to the number of hits of hit games so far simultaneously with the start of the hit games AG. Further, in the game number display section DHb, the number of special figure variation games is reset to “0” simultaneously with the end of the hit games A to G (with the end).

  In addition, in the light emitting unit DHa, when the big hit game is not given and the game state signal is input, the light emission effect is continuously performed while the game state signal is input. On the other hand, in the light emitting unit DHa, when the big hit game is not given and the game state signal is not input, the light emission effect is not performed (not executed). In the game number display section DHb, every time a game execution signal is input, the number of times obtained by adding 1 to the number of special figure variation games so far is displayed. As described above, the light emission effect in the light emitting unit DHa of the table data display device DH is a hit notification effect that notifies that a winning game is given, and a change notification that notifies that a variable state is given. Positioned as production.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) to (11) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(12) In this embodiment, the hit type is determined from the hits including the big hits B to E in any of the first special figure changing game and the second special figure changing game. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special big hit game B is entered when the big winning opening 21 is opened in the opening time of 0.06 seconds in any of the upper starting winning opening 17 and the lower starting winning opening 18. It can make you expect.

  (13) In the present embodiment, in the winning games B to E and G, the output state of the hit signal from the first connector 25a from the start of the hit game to the start of the ninth opening of the big winning opening 21 (Output mode) is in the same state (mode). For this reason, in this embodiment, not only the opening operation of the special winning opening 21, but also the winning games B to E and G are selected from both sides of the winning signal (light emission effect by the table data display device DH). It can be difficult to recognize whether it has been granted.

  (14) In the non-variable state, in the special big hit games C and D and the small hit game G to which the variable state is not given, the first connector until the ninth opening of the big winning opening 21 is started. No hit signal is output from 25a. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to recognize which of the special big hit games C and D in which the game state can change and the small hit game G in which the game state does not change. Further, in the present embodiment, when the special big hit game B is given in the non-changeable state, the hit signal is output from the first connector 25a after the ninth opening of the big winning opening 21 is started. . For this reason, in the present embodiment, not only the opening operation of the special winning opening 21 but also the winning game B to E, G, which hit game is given from both sides of the output mode of the hit signal is recognized. It can be difficult.

  (15) In the present embodiment, in the winning games B to E and G, the first connector is started until the last 9th opening operation is started among the opening operations with the opening time being 0.06 seconds. The output mode of the hit signal from 25a was made the same. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to recognize which winning game among the winning games B to E and G is given until the ninth opening operation is started. Then, after starting the opening operation of the ninth big winning opening 21, a hit signal is output, and when the light emitting effect (notification) is performed by the light emitting unit DHa of the table data display device DH based on the hit signal, a special big hit The interest of the player who plays a game while expecting the game B can be improved.

  (16) In this embodiment, when the special jackpot game C is given during the non-changing state, and when the changing state is given after the jackpot game ends, after the start of the ninth release operation A hit signal is output from the first connector 25a. Therefore, when the light emitting effect is performed by the light emitting unit DHa of the table data display device DH based on the hit signal, it is possible to improve the interest of the player who plays the game while expecting the variable state. In addition, even if the variable state is given, any winning game among the winning games B to E and G is given compared with the configuration in which the hit signal is output from the start of the special big hit game C. It can be difficult to recognize if there is.

  (17) When the special probability variable jackpot E is determined, the special probability variable jackpot D is determined while the variable state is given regardless of whether or not the gaming state at the time of winning is a variable state. In some cases, the variable state is given on condition that the winning state is the variable state. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the interest of the player by giving a change state after the special big hit game is finished under different conditions, and changing the progress until the change to the change state. And even if comprised in this way, a hit signal can be output from the 1st connector 25a on the condition that it controls to a variable state after completion | finish of a special big hit game.

  (18) When the special probability variation big hit C is determined, it is controlled to the variable state except for the non-variable state and the non-probable state. For this reason, in this embodiment, a change is given to progress until it is controlled to a variable state, and a player's interest can be improved more. And even if comprised in this way, a hit signal can be output from the 1st connector 25a on the condition that it controls to a variable state after completion | finish of a special big hit game.

  (19) In the variable speed state, after the big hit game of any of the special big hit games C to E is controlled, the variable short state is controlled, and a hit signal is output from the first connector 25a with the start of each big hit game. Even when the special jackpot game B is given, the hit signal is output from the first connector 25a when the special jackpot game B is started, and the hit signal is terminated until the ninth opening operation is completed. From the output mode, it is difficult to recognize which winning game among the big hit games B to E is given.

  (20) In this embodiment, a special hit signal is output from the second connector 25b with the start of all the hit games A to G. When the second connector 25b is connected to the table data display device DH or the like, it is recognized which of the big hit games B to E is given until the ninth release operation is completed. Can be difficult. In addition, it is possible to select which of the first connector 25a and the second connector 25b the table data display device DH is connected to, and a hit signal to be used can be selected according to the business form of the amusement store.

  (21) In the present embodiment, a game state signal indicating that the state is the variable state is output from the third connector 25c. For this reason, a light emission effect is performed on the table data display device DH based on the game state signal, and it is possible to notify that the state is a variable state.
