Description

  It relates to pachinko machines.

  The current mainstream pachinko machine performs lottery using a random number acquired when entering the starting port, and after the identification information is fluctuated for a predetermined time, the identification information is stopped and displayed. Is a predetermined mode, a special game is executed in which a variable winning opening that is normally closed is opened. By the way, in recent years, the necessity of developing a model that is not bound by the conventional type 1 type, type 2 type, type 3 or the like frame has been recognized in order to further improve game playability. However, if it deviates too much from the conventional game playability, it will lead to complication of game play and may be a cause of being shy away from the player. In order to make it easier for players to understand game playability, it is necessary to follow the main parts of the conventional specifications and maintain friendliness, and on this model, a novel game can be realized Development is desired.

Here, when paying attention to the conventional “pachinko gaming machine having a plurality of first type functions”, many pachinko gaming machines of this type have a role called a normal electric accessory at one of the starting ports. An object is provided, and when the player enters a specific gaming state, the ordinary electric accessory can be easily opened, so that it is easy to enter the starting port. And, as a condition for shifting to a specific gaming state, first, the ball is entered into the other starting port not equipped with the ordinary electric accessory, and can be shifted after the big hit based on the entering into the other starting port. By doing so, many techniques for improving the fun of the game have been adopted.

Form to carry out

  Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described. The meaning of each term is not particularly limited, but will be described by way of example for ease of understanding. First, “entering a ball” includes not only a winning in which a winning ball is paid out but also a passage to a “through chucker” in which no winning ball is paid out. The “variable member” has at least a first position (when the variable member is in the position, the main game start port can enter the ball) and a second position (when the variable member is in the position, the main game start The displacement mode is not particularly limited as long as the mouth is displaceable so that it cannot enter or becomes difficult compared to the first position. As a displacement mode, a variable member that is a position in which the first position is in an open state and a position in which the second position is in a closed state {e.g. One (right when viewed from the player) is clockwise, the other (left when viewed from the player) is the “first position” moved counterclockwise, the one moves counterclockwise and the other moves clockwise The so-called well-known “electric tulip”} that can be used as the “second position”} or the position where the first position protrudes toward the player and the second position is retracted with respect to the player A variable member at a certain position (for example, a well-known “velo electric accessory”) can be mentioned. Furthermore, as the position of the variable member, not only the first position and the second position but also one or a plurality of positions where the game ball can easily enter than the first position, and the game ball is less likely to enter than the second position. A mode in which one or a plurality of positions can be taken is also included. “Easy to enter” or “difficult to enter” is determined, for example, based on the number of entered balls when 10,000 game balls are launched. "Open state" refers to a state in which game balls can flow in or is easy to flow in. "Closed state" refers to a state in which game balls cannot flow in or in an open state compared to "open state". Refers to the state. “Winning” is a concept related to award ball payout. The “identification information” may be in any form as long as the type of information can be identified through the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.), but is preferably visual, for example, numbers, letters, designs. And light emission of a light emitting means (for example, a lamp) (including not only the presence / absence of light emission but also a difference in color). The “identification information display unit” includes not only one display unit but also a combination of a plurality of display units (for example, a display and a side lamp). “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a pachinko machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, a hard- Random numbers and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, the so-called “basic random numbers” that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, “winning random numbers (random numbers for success / failure lottery)” related to the transition of special games, and the variation mode (or variation time) of the identification symbol "Variation mode determination random number" for determining, "symbol determination random number" for determining a stop symbol, "hit symbol determination random number" for determining whether or not to shift to a specific game (for example, probability variation game) after a special game, etc. be able to. It is not necessary to use all these random numbers when determining the contents of the variation mode, the contents of the definite identification information, etc., and it is sufficient to use at least one random number that is the same or different from each other. In addition, in the claims and in the present specification, the number of random numbers may be displayed in the form of a random number or a plurality of random numbers. Random numbers acquired by a single entry into the ball are referred to as one (ie, in the above example, a random number bundle of winning random number + variation mode determining random number + design determining random number ... Called random numbers). Further, for example, a kind of random number (for example, a winning random number) may also serve as another kind of random number (for example, a symbol determination random number). The “state relating to the execution time of easy entry game per unit time” means that the game state on the auxiliary game unit side is (1) the identification information for stop auxiliary game identification information of the auxiliary game identification information with a predetermined probability. Auxiliary game identification information winning probability that can be selected, and an auxiliary game identification information winning probability that the specific mode can be selected with higher probability than the predetermined probability as the auxiliary auxiliary game identification information stop auxiliary game identification information Including the state relating to the second state, and (2) the average time of the variable display time of the identification information for auxiliary games (here, the variable display time that can be selected in the state may be one or plural, one The average time is the one variable display time, and when there are multiple, the “average time” is the average time based on the selection frequency of each variable display time) Is time Auxiliary game identification information fluctuation time first state and the average time of the auxiliary game identification information fluctuation display time (Here, the number of change display time that can be selected in the state may be one or a plurality, or one The “average time” is the one variable display time, and when there are multiple, the “average time” is the average time based on the selection frequency of each variable display time) from the first time Includes a state related to the second state of the identification information fluctuation time for auxiliary games, which is a short second time, and (3) a total value of the specific times in one easy-to-enter game (the easy-to-enter game is In the case of the “opening mode in which the variable member is kept open”, one specific time is “the total value of the specific times”, and in the case where the easy-entering game is “opening and closing mode in which the variable member is opened and closed” The total value of the specific time is “the total value of the specific time” The average time (where “total value of the specific times” that can be selected in the state may be one or more), and in the case of one, the “average time” is the one “the specific time” ”Total time value”. If there are multiple times, the “average time” is the average time based on the selection frequency of each “total value of the specific time”). The total value of the first time and the specific time in one easy-to-enter game (if the easy-to-enter game is an “open mode in which the variable member is kept open”, one specific time “ When the easy entry game is “opening and closing mode in which the variable member opens and closes”, the total time of a plurality of specific times becomes “the total value of the specific times” (here, The “total value of the specific times” that can be selected in the state may be one or more. In the case of one, the “average time” is the one “total value of the specific time”, and in the case of multiple, the “average time” is a selection of each “total value of the specific time”. It is a concept including states relating to the second state of easy entry game time which is a second time longer than the first time) (the average time based on the frequency), and these (1) to (3) This is a concept realized by a combination of one or more states.

  In addition, this form is only an example, the location and function where each means exists, the order of each step regarding various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

It has control means 1152 and auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 for controlling to stop display after changing the auxiliary game symbol for a predetermined time on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421 of the auxiliary game symbol display device 2420.

  Here, the first main game symbol control means 1151 further includes first main game symbol change time management means 1151a for managing the change time according to the change mode determined by the first main game content determination means 1141. is doing. The first main game symbol variation time management means 1151a further includes a first main game symbol variation management timer 1151a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Next, the second main game symbol control means 1152 further has second main game symbol change time management means 1152a for managing the change time according to the change mode determined by the second main game content determination means 1142. is doing. The second main game symbol variation time management means 1152a further includes a second main game symbol variation management timer 1152a-1 (decrement counter) that can be cleared to zero. Further, the auxiliary game symbol control means 1154 includes auxiliary game symbol variation time management means 1154a for managing the variation time of the auxiliary game symbols on the auxiliary game symbol display unit 2421 of the auxiliary game symbol display device 2420. . The auxiliary game symbol variation time management means 1154a further includes an auxiliary game symbol variation management timer 1154a-1 capable of measuring time.

  Next, the electric accessory opening / closing control means 1160 determines whether or not the condition for performing the process of opening / closing the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 of the second main game start opening 2110 is satisfied. Condition determining means 1161, a reference table 1163 for determining the opening time of the second main game starting port 2110, and a second reference table 1163 for determining the opening time of the second main game starting port 2110. And an electric accessory opening time management timer 1162 for managing the opening time of the main game start opening electric accessory 2112.

Here, Table 6 shows an example of a reference table 1163 for determining the opening time of the electric accessory. As you can see from the table, if you win a lottery in the situation where the auxiliary game symbol time flag is on, it will be opened for a longer time than if you win in the situation where the flag is off. (For example, opening time α = 3 seconds, opening time β = 0.1 seconds).

  Next, the special game control means 1170 determines whether or not the condition for shifting to the special game (big hit, small win) is satisfied, specifically, the big win or the small hit is won {special game ( When the condition determination means 1171 for determining whether or not an execution permission flag has been generated} and a special game transition condition are satisfied, the contents of the special game (specifically, an open state) A special game content determination means 1172 for setting a special prize-related information temporary storage means 1194 and a first grand prize prize port 2120 or a second big prize prize port 2220 in advance. Special game execution means 1173 for executing a special game (big hit, small hit) that is open under conditions, and time management of various processes related to the special game (for example, the first big prize opening 2120 and the second big prize And a special game time management means 1174 for opening and closing time) of the mouth 2220. Here, the special game time management means 1174 further includes a round execution timer 1174a for managing the round time. The special game content determination unit 1172 further includes a special game content reference table 1172a that is referred to when specifying the content of the special game to be set in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194.

Here, Table 7 is an example of a special game content reference table. As can be seen from this table, the winning symbol “3A, 3B, 7A, 7B” is a high-profit special game that can win many balls. On the other hand, “1A, 1B” is a low-profit special game that hardly obtains a ball. Also, in the case of the winning symbol “3A, 3B, 7A, 7B” and the winning symbol “1A, 1B”, the opening time is different (the former is 30 seconds, the latter is 0.25 seconds), but it is kept special during the round. Common in that the game is executed. On the other hand, in the case of a winning symbol “2A, 2B” (small hit), a special game with an open pattern that opens and closes during one round is executed. As described above, when the hit symbol “1A, 1B” and the hit symbol “2A, 2B” are compared with each other, although they are internally different, the opening / closing time (0.25 second) is the same and the opening / closing point is the same. Since the number of times is the same (the former is 1 open / closed per round x 2 rounds = 2 open / closed, the latter is 2 open / closed per round x 2 open / closed rounds), the open time is exactly the same・ A special game with an open pattern will be held. In addition, in the winning symbol “1A, 1B” and the winning symbol “2A, 2B” (small hit), the transition mode of the game state after the special game is different (the transition mode will be described later). It is supplemented that a certain winning symbol “2A, 2B” has the same gaming state at the time of transition to the special game and the gaming state after the special game (that is, the gaming state does not shift).

  Next, the specific game control means 1180 includes a specific game availability / content determination means 1183 that determines the content of the specific game, and a specific game end condition determination means 1181 that determines whether or not the specific game state end condition is satisfied. And have. Here, the specific game propriety / content determination means 1183 includes a main game specific game propriety / content determination reference table 1183a that is referred to when determining whether or not to shift to the specific game related to the main game symbol, and the auxiliary game. It further includes an auxiliary game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b that is referred to when determining whether or not to transfer a specific game regarding the symbol. These will be described in detail below.

First, Table 8 shows an example of the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a. Here, before explaining the contents of this table, each gaming state in this embodiment is organized. First, the “main game probability change game state” in the present embodiment refers to a state in which the winning probability of transition to a special game is higher than that of the “main game normal game state” (the main game symbol probability change flag is on). Also, the “main game short game state” refers to a state in which the main game symbol variation time is relatively shorter than the “main game normal game state” (the main game symbol short time flag is on). As will be described later, the “auxiliary game symbol time flag” is also turned on under the situation of the main game short game state. As shown in this example, the main gaming state after the special game is configured to be uniquely determined based on the main gaming state at the time of winning and the winning symbol. In addition, in the main game game state after the special game, in the case of the main game probability change game state, there is no limit on the upper limit number of times so that the game can continue until the next big hit (the time is shortened in the case of time reduction) Until the next jackpot for games). On the other hand, in the case of the main game short game state (and the non-main game probability change game state), the game is configured to continue for a predetermined upper limit number of times. Here, in this embodiment, a plurality of types of restrictions are imposed as the upper limit number. Specifically, “when the total number of times of change of the first main game symbol and the number of changes of the second main game symbol reaches a predetermined number of times”, “when the number of changes of the first main game symbol alone is a predetermined number of times In the case of satisfying one of “when the number of changes in the second main game symbol alone reaches a predetermined number”, the short game state in the main game is configured to end. And as the “predetermined number relating to the number of fluctuations in the second main game symbol alone”, a different number can be set based on the main game game state at the time of winning and the winning symbol.

Next, Table 9 is an example of the auxiliary game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b. As can be seen from this table, the time flag of the auxiliary game symbol is also turned on in conjunction with the time flag of the main game symbol. As will be described in detail in the processing column, when the main game symbol time-short flag is turned off, the auxiliary game symbol time-short flag is also turned off.

  Next, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 counts the total number of times of the variation of the first main game symbol and the number of variations of the second main game symbol in the main game short game state (and the non-main game probability variation game state). A possible main game symbol short time counter 1181b, a first main game symbol short time counter 1181c capable of counting the number of fluctuations of the first main game symbol in the main game short game state (and the non-main game probability variable game state), And a second main game symbol short time counter 1181d capable of counting the number of times the second main game symbol has changed in the game short game state (and the non-main game probability variable game state).

  Next, the game related information temporary storage means 1190 is a main game related information temporary storage means 1191 for temporarily storing information related to the main game such as control relating to the main game symbol and control relating to the special game. Auxiliary game related information temporary storage means 1192 for temporarily storing information related to auxiliary games such as control related to auxiliary game symbols and control related to the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112, and special game processing Special game related information temporary storage means 1194 for temporarily storing information related to the game.

  Here, the main game related information temporary storage unit 1191 is a first main game / second main game symbol related information temporary storage unit for temporarily storing information related to display control of the first main game symbol and the second main game symbol. 1191a and main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b for temporarily storing information on the game state of the main game side.

  Further, the auxiliary game related information temporary storage unit 1192 temporarily stores auxiliary game symbol related information temporary storage unit 1192a for temporarily storing information related to display control of auxiliary game symbols, and information related to the game state of the auxiliary game side. Auxiliary game side temporary game state storage means 1192b.

Next, in step 1470, the information transmission means 1300 transmits information indicating that the time-reduced gaming state has ended (time-short game end display instruction information) to the effect control means 2320 side, and the next process (the special game in step 1500). The process proceeds to the operation condition determination process.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1461, in step 1467, the specific game control means 1180 decrements the counter value of the second main game symbol short time counter 1181d by one. Next, in step 1468, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 refers to the second main game symbol time counter 1181d and determines whether or not the counter value is zero. If Yes in step 1468, the process proceeds to step 1464, and if No in step 1468, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500). Even in the case of No in step 1463, the process proceeds to the next process (special game operation condition determination process in step 1500).

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of special game operation condition determination processing according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the condition determination unit 1171 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194, and determines whether or not the special game execution permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the condition determination unit 1171 turns off the special game execution permission flag in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194. Next, in step 1506, the special game content determination unit 1172 sets the content of the special game in the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 by referring to the special game content reference table 1172a based on various parameters. In step 1507, the specific game control means 1180 uses the information related to the previous winning symbol and the game state temporarily stored in the game-related information temporary storage unit 1190 (game content determination information storage area) as the current winning symbol. And information on the current gaming state. This game state information is used when determining the game state after the end of the special game. Here, in the present embodiment, information at the timing before the special game end determination process is executed (for example, the winning symbol and the gaming state at the timing when the special game execution permission flag is turned on in step 1446 of FIG. 10). Information) is temporarily stored as information on the current winning symbol and game state. This is because, if the state after the specific game end determination process is temporarily stored, for example, when winning in the last short time, the short time number = 0 and the short time flag is turned off is temporarily stored. is there. However, the gaming state at the time of processing in step 1507 in FIG. 13 may be temporarily stored. This completes the special game content setting process.

  Next, in step 1508, the specific game end condition determination unit 1181 refers to the special game related information temporary storage unit 1194 and determines whether or not the current hit is not a small hit. In the case of Yes in step 1508, in step 1510, the specific game end condition determining means 1181 accesses the flag area of the main game side temporary game state storage means 1191b and determines whether or not the main game symbol probability change flag is on.

Next, in step 9004, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and displays the symbol information and the game state information that triggered this time. After the acquisition, the auxiliary game state is determined with reference to the auxiliary game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b, and the determined auxiliary game state is set in the auxiliary game side temporary storage unit 1192b (auxiliary game) The symbol time flag is turned on / off), and the process proceeds to step 9008.

  Next, in step 9008, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b and determines whether or not the main game symbol probability change flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 9008, in step 9010, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b and determines whether or not the main game symbol time flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 9010, in step 9012, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and the symbol information that triggered this time and After obtaining the game state information, referring to the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a, the “total number of times of change of the first main game symbol and the number of times of change of the second main game symbol in the short-time game number of times” The “predetermined number of times” (the numerical value in the “first and second main game total column” in Table 8) is derived, and the predetermined number of times is set in the main game symbol short time counter 1181b. Next, in step 9014, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and displays the symbol information and the game state information that triggered the current game. In addition, referring to the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a, the “predetermined number of times of variation of the first main game symbol alone” in the time-saving game count (“first main game alone of Table 8”). The numerical value in the “” column is derived, and the predetermined number of times is set in the first main game symbol short time counter 1181c. Next, in step 9016, the specific game control means 1180 refers to the game related information temporary storage means 1190 (game content determination information temporary storage area), and displays the symbol information and game state information that triggered this time. In addition, referring to the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a, the “predetermined number of times of variation of the second main game symbol alone” in the short-time game number of times (“second main game alone of Table 8”). The numerical value in the "" column is derived, and the predetermined number of times is set in the second main game symbol time / count counter 1181d, and the process proceeds to Step 9018. If step 9008 or step 9010 is No, the process proceeds to step 9018.

  Next, at step 9018, the information transmission means 1300 is a main game side game state temporary storage means 1191b, a main game symbol short time counter 1181b, a first main game symbol short time counter 1181c, and a second main game symbol short time counter 1181d. Referring to the above, the set gaming state and the time limit upper limit number of times are acquired, and information (gaming state display start instruction information) for instructing the display start of the gaming state including the acquired information is provided on the effect control means 2320 side. To the next process (award ball payout process in step 5000).

  Next, the flow of processing on the sub-board side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, FIG. 16 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320.

  First, FIG. 16 is a main flowchart showing the flow of general processing performed by the effect control means 2320. First, in step 6400, the effect control means 2320 executes a gaming state notification process described later. Next, in step 6500, the effect control means 2320 executes a hold information management / hold display process to be described later. Next, in steps 6100 (1) and (2), the effect control unit 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display content determination processing described later. Next, in Steps 6200 (1) and (2), the effect control means 2320 executes first and second decorative symbol display control processing described later. Next, in step 6300, the effect control means 2320 executes a special game (during big hit) display control process, which will be described later, and repeats the process of returning to step 6400. Hereinafter, processing related to each subroutine will be described in detail.

  First, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the gaming state notification process according to the subroutine of step 6400 of FIG. First, the purpose of this process is to notify an operation instruction that does not give a disadvantage to the player based on the game state and the number of short-time games transmitted from the main side. In particular, in the present embodiment, even if the game is shifted to the short game state during the main game, it is not recommended for the player to operate the game ball not to be guided to the second main game start port 2110 and the auxiliary game start port 2410. Since there is a case where no profit is given, it is intended to notify an appropriate operation instruction based on such a case. First, in step 6402, the information receiving means 2321 determines whether or not the game state display start instruction information is received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 6402, in step 6404, the gaming state notification control unit 2322d refers to the main side information temporary storage unit 2321a and determines whether or not the main side gaming state is the main gaming probability changing gaming state. In the case of Yes in step 6404, in step 6406, the game state notification control means 2322d makes full use of the effect display device 2310 to notify an operation instruction to fire a game ball to the right side of the game area 120, The fact that the gaming state is in a privilege game advantageous to the player is notified. Next, in step 6408, the gaming state notification control unit 2322d turns on the gaming state display flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and proceeds to step 6420. Here, the gaming state display flag is a flag that is turned on when the information related to the operation instruction and the gaming state is being notified. In the case of No in step 6402, the process proceeds to step 6420.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 6404, in step 6410, the gaming state notification control unit 2322d refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a, and the main-side gaming state is the main gaming short gaming state (and non-main gaming probability change It is determined whether or not the game state. In the case of Yes in step 6410, in step 6412, the gaming state notification control unit 2322d refers to the main-side information temporary storage unit 2321a, and the “predetermined number of times of variation of the second main game symbol alone” is the specific number (this In the example, it is determined whether it is once). In the case of Yes in step 6412, in step 6414, the gaming state notification control means 2322 d makes full use of the effect display device 2310 to notify an operation instruction for launching a gaming ball to the left side of the gaming area 120, The fact that the game state is in the chance zone where the game state shifts to a privilege game advantageous to the player is notified, and the process proceeds to Step 6408. If NO in step 6410, the process proceeds to step 6420. If NO in step 6412, the process proceeds to step 6406. Here, the case where the “predetermined number related to the number of fluctuations of the second main game symbol alone” is a specific number of times (in this example, once) means that in the present embodiment, the main game symbol in the main game normal game state. Is the hitting time on the “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B” symbol. That is, in such a case, after the special game is finished, the game game is guided to the second main game start port 2110 and the auxiliary game start port 2410, although the state shifts to the main game short game state. The game ball is guided to the first main game start port 2210 (that is, the game is played on a normal basis) and the first main game symbol is changed 100 times, rather than changing the main game short game state once. The way to maintain the short game state at the time of the main game and to generate further hits is a design that does not give a disadvantage to the player.

  Next, in step 6420, the gaming state notification control unit 2322d determines whether or not the gaming state display flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c is on. In the case of Yes in step 6420, in step 6422, the information receiving means 2321 determines whether or not the short time game end display instruction information has been received from the main side. In the case of Yes in step 6422, in step 6424, the gaming state notification control means 2322d deletes the operation instruction and the notification content related to the gaming state that are notified using the effect display device 2310. Next, in step 6426, the gaming state notification control unit 2322d turns off the gaming state display flag in the effect display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, and proceeds to the next processing (holding information management / holding display processing in step 6500).

  Next, the effect | action in this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIG. In the figure, for convenience of explanation, as the upper limit of the number of short times in the main game, “a predetermined number related to the number of changes in the first main game symbol alone” and “a predetermined number related to the number of changes in the second main game symbol alone” Only the “number of times” is illustrated. First, in this example, in the main game normal game state (a state in which the main game symbol time flag is off), the player progresses the game while firing a game ball to the left of the game area 120. Here, in the main game normal game state, the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 is in a state where there is almost no assistance for entering the ball (that is, the base ball value is low), so the player has his own ball. The game is progressing while reducing.

  Next, at the timing of 1 in the figure, a winning / no-win lottery based on the entrance to the first main game starting port 2210 is won, and “3A” symbol hit occurs on the first main game symbol side. Next, at the timing of 2 in the figure, the special game related to the “3A” symbol is completed, and the state shifts to the short game state during the main game. Here, based on the fact that it is per “3A” symbol in the main game normal game state, in the main game short game state after the special game, as the main game short game number, The “predetermined number of times” = “100 times” and the “predetermined number of times related to the number of changes in the second main game symbol alone” = “one time” are set as the upper limit number of times. Further, based on the fact that “the predetermined number of times related to the number of fluctuations in the second main game symbol alone” = “one time”, an operation instruction is notified to launch a game ball to the left side of the game area 120. Then, according to the operation instruction, the player progresses while playing the game ball to the left side of the game area 120, so that the player progresses while reducing his own ball, but is in the short game state during the main game. Will be maintained.

  Next, at the timing of 3 in the figure, the winning lottery based on the entrance to the first main game starting port 2210 is won, and “3A” symbol hit is generated again on the first main game symbol side. Next, at the timing of 4 in the figure, the special game related to the “3A” symbol is finished, and the state shifts to the main game short game state. Here, based on the fact that it is per “3A” symbol in the main game short game state, in the main game short game state after the special game, as the main game short time count, The “predetermined number of times” = “100 times” and the “predetermined number of times of change in the second main game symbol alone” = “100 times” are set as the upper limit number of times. In addition, based on the fact that “the predetermined number related to the number of changes in the second main game symbol alone” = “100 times”, an operation instruction is issued to fire a game ball to the right side of the game area 120. Then, in accordance with the operation instruction, the player advances the game while firing the game ball to the right side of the game area 120, so that the timing transition in FIG. The game can be played in a certain state (that is, the ball base value is high), and the player can proceed without reducing his own ball.

  In addition, it is also possible to play a game with a high ball base value by firing a game ball to the right side of the game area 120 during a period of 2 to 3 in the figure. However, when the symbol variation of the second main game symbol ends once, the state ends. Therefore, even if a “3A” symbol hit occurs on the first main game symbol side thereafter, the main game after the special game In the short-time game state, “predetermined number related to the number of changes in the second main game symbol alone” = “one time” is set as the main game short time number.

  Based on the above actions, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to incorporate into the gameability (outlet design) in the conventional machine, which is the short game state during the main game in which the game progresses in a state where the base ball value is low. It is possible to realize the gaming state that was present.

  According to the present embodiment, under the situation where the main game is in the short game state, “when the total number of times of change of the first main game symbol and the number of changes of the second main game symbol reaches a predetermined number”, or “ When the number of changes in the first main game symbol alone has reached a predetermined number of times, or "when the number of times of change in the second main game symbol alone has reached a predetermined number of times", the state is shifted to the main game normal game state. At the same time, when the special game under the condition of the main game normal game state is followed by the transition to the short game state during the main game, for example, “1 time” as the “predetermined number of times of change in the second main game symbol alone” Is set, and after the special game in the situation of the short game state at the time of the main game, when shifting to the short game state at the time of the main game, for example, as the “predetermined number of times of variation in the second main game symbol alone” Set to 100 times Because it is referred to the main game time reduction gaming state to the player on a regular basis, it is possible to create a new gaming state.

  Furthermore, based on the main gaming state after the special game and the “predetermined number related to the number of fluctuations in the second main gaming symbol alone”, information related to an operation instruction for launching a gaming ball to the left or right of the gaming area 120 Therefore, it is possible to advance the game without causing any disadvantage to the player.

  Although not shown in FIG. 22, in the present embodiment, the winning symbols “1A, 1B” and the winning symbol “2A” in which special games of the same big winning opening opening time / opening pattern are developed in appearance. 2B "(small hit) is provided. With this configuration, for example, when a winning symbol “1A” or “2A” occurs during the period 2 to 3 in FIG. 22, after the special game, Whether or not the “predetermined number of times related to the number of changes in the second main game symbol alone” = “100 times” has been set as the upper limit number of times becomes difficult to distinguish. In other words, after the special game, it is advantageous for the player who can proceed with the game with a high ball base value until the information for instructing the operation to fire the game ball to the left or right side of the game area 120 is notified. Since it becomes difficult to determine whether or not the state has been changed, it is possible to improve the fun of the game. In such a configuration, it is difficult to determine which winning symbol has occurred on the first main game symbol display unit 2131 (second main game symbol display unit 2231) and the drawing display unit 2311. It is suitable to be configured as follows. Furthermore, the information for instructing the operation to fire the game ball to the left or right side of the game area 120 is not limited to being configured to be notified after a special game, and is configured to determine whether notification is possible based on a lottery. It is suitable for further improving the interest of the game.

  In this embodiment, after the special game related to the “1A, 1B, 3A, 3B” symbols, the game is always shifted to the short game state at the time of the main game. You may comprise so that the winning symbol which transfers to the main game normal game state after a game may coexist. If such a configuration, even after the special game according to per symbol to shift to the main game normal game state, by notifying is in Chance zone (see step 6414 of FIG. 17),-out endlessly gaming Is unclear, so it is suitable for further improving the fun of the game.

In the present embodiment, the “predetermined number of times of change in the second main game symbol alone” is set to either “1 time” or “100 times”. Is not limited. The “predetermined number of times related to the total number of times of change of the first main game symbol and the number of changes of the second main game symbol” is configured to set “100 times”, but is not limited thereto. . “The predetermined number of times related to the total number of times of change of the first main game symbol and the number of changes of the second main game symbol” is X, and “the predetermined number of times of change of the first main game symbol alone” is X ₁ , When “predetermined number related to the number of fluctuations in the second main game symbol alone” is X ₂ , X ≧ (or>) X _{1 and} / or X ≧ (or>) X ₂ may be satisfied. For other parameters, X ₁ ≧ (or>) X ₂ , X ₂ ≧ (or>) X ₁ , X ₁ = X ₂ , X ₁ + X ₂ ≧ (or>) X, X ₁ ≧ (or> ) X {provided that X ≧ (or>) X ₂ }, X ₂ ≧ (or>) X {provided that X ≧ (or>) X ₁ }, etc. For example, “predetermined number related to the total number of times of change of the first main game symbol and change number of the second main game symbol” = “200 times”, “predetermined number of times related to the number of changes in the first main game symbol alone” "=" 100 times "," a predetermined number of times related to the number of changes in the second main game symbol alone "=" 100 times "can be given as an example. By this configuration, it game progress in payout based value is high state after special game, when the advantageous state is completed for the player it is also stopped earthenware game becomes unclear, the game amusement It is suitable for further improving the property.

<Second embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the first main game start port 2210, the second main game start port 2110 (and the second main game start port electric accessory 2112), and the auxiliary game start port 2410 are arranged apart from each other. Although configured, the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, since an aspect different from the present embodiment can be conceptualized, the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below as a second embodiment.

  First, with respect to the basic structure on the front side of the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, only changes from the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the purpose of changing the basic structure is to use a first main game start port 2210 and a second main game start port 2110 (and a second main game start port electric role) as a game ball flowing down the left or right side of the game area 120. To both the object 2112) and the auxiliary game start port 2410. That is, the first main game start port 2210 and the second main game start port 2110 (and the second main game start port electric accessory 2112) are arranged at positions that overlap each other, and the first main game start port 2210. The upper portion of the second main game start port 2110 is blocked by the presence of. And only when the 2nd main game start opening electric accessory 2112 expands, it is comprised so that a game ball may enter into the 2nd main game start opening 2110. FIG. In addition, since the auxiliary game start opening 2410 is arranged on the left and right sides of the game area 120, the game ball entering the auxiliary game start opening 2410 by the game ball flowing down the left or right side of the game area 120 → The second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 is easily displaced from the open state to the game ball entering the second main game start opening 2110.

  When the basic structure is changed in this way, it becomes difficult to create a short game state during the main game in which a game is played on a normal base by hitting game balls as shown in the present embodiment. Therefore, under certain circumstances, even in the short game state during the main game, the game ball enters the auxiliary game start port 2410 → the second main game start port electrical accessory 2112 is displaced into the open state → the second As a technique for making it difficult to perform a series of operations such as entering a game ball into the main game start opening 2110, (1) adjusting the opening time of the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112, (2) Two methods of adjusting the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol will be described.

<Second embodiment / (1) Adjusting the opening time of the main game starting port electric accessory 2112>
First, (1) the point of adjusting the opening time of the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 will be described in detail. Table 10 shows an example of a reference table 1163 (second embodiment 1) for determining an electric-powered article opening time in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. As can be seen from this table, the opening time of the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 is determined based on the auxiliary game time reduction state type. Here, in the case where the auxiliary game time reduction state type is “auxiliary game time reduction state 2” and the electrification of the electric game object is selected, “auxiliary game time reduction state 0” and “auxiliary game time reduction state 1”. It is configured to open for a longer period of time compared to the case of winning in a situation (for example, opening time α = 3 seconds, opening time β = 0.1 seconds). As will be described later, the auxiliary game time reduction state type is uniquely determined in association with the winning symbol.

Next, Table 11 shows an example of the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a (second embodiment 1) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. As can be seen from this table, when hitting with the winning symbol “1A, 1B” in the main game normal game state, the game shifts to the main game short game state after the special game and the main game short game state type is “main game short game time”. “Game state 1” is set. In addition, when hitting with the winning symbol “3A, 3B” in the main game short game state, the game shifts to the main game short game state after the special game, and “main game short game state 2” is set as the main game short game state type. Set. In other words, the main game short game state type is uniquely determined in association with the winning symbol.

Next, Table 12 is an example of an auxiliary game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b (second embodiment 1) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. As can be seen from this table, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the short game state type for the main game and the short game state type for the auxiliary game, and the short game state type for the auxiliary game is linked to the change of the short game state type for the main game. It is configured to change.

  By changing as described above, in the second embodiment, at the time of hitting with the winning symbol “1A, 1B” in the main game normal game state, the game shifts to the main game short game state after the special game. Since the main game start opening electric accessory 2112 has almost no assistance for entering the ball (that is, the ball base value is low), the player proceeds with the game while reducing his own ball. When the winning pattern “3A, 3B” is hit in a situation where the main game is in the short game state, after the special game, the state shifts to the main game short game state, and the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 Since it is possible to play in a state where there is a ball assist (that is, the ball base value is high), the player can proceed with the game without reducing his own ball. That is, in the second embodiment, in the situation of “short game state 1 at the time of main game” and “short game state 1 at the time of auxiliary game”, the game is played on the normal base created by striking game balls in this embodiment. An action similar to that in the short game state (chance zone) in the main game occurs.

  In this example, as the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112, it is possible to adopt a closed state where the game ball is difficult or impossible to enter and an open state where the game ball is easier to enter than the closed state. Although a so-called tulip type electric accessory is employed, the present invention is not limited to this. In that case, as the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112, a so-called Vero electric accessory (Vero electric) which is a well-known technique may be adopted. Here, the velo-type electric accessory can hold the game ball on the rod-shaped member when in the open state and detects the game ball at the second main game start opening when the state is changed to the closed state. It is an electric accessory configured to be guided to the device 2111 (arranged inside the game board). By configuring in this way, in the main game short game state where the game is played on a normal base, the ball entering the second main game start port 2110 is further prevented, in other words, the main game short game state is terminated unintentionally. This is preferable from the viewpoint of effectively avoiding the situation.

<Second embodiment / (2) Adjusting variation time of auxiliary game symbol>
Next, (2) the point of adjusting the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol will be described in detail. Table 13 shows an example of the auxiliary game variation mode determination reference table 1143a-2 (second embodiment 2) in the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. As can be seen from the table, the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol is determined based on the auxiliary game time reduction state type. Here, when the auxiliary game time reduction state type is “auxiliary game time reduction state 2” and the variation condition of the auxiliary game symbol is satisfied, “auxiliary game time reduction state 0” and “auxiliary game time reduction state 1”. ”In such a situation that the time symbol changes in a shorter time than when the change condition is satisfied (for example, change time X = 1 second, change time Y = 30 seconds).

  Further, the same change contents as the main game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183a (second embodiment 1) and the auxiliary game specific game availability / content determination reference table 1183b (second embodiment 1) shall be incorporated. .

  By changing as described above, when the winning symbol “1A, 1B” is hit in the main game normal game state, the auxiliary game symbol is changed for a long time, although it shifts to the short game state in the main game after the special game. It becomes. Then, immediately before the change of the auxiliary game symbol is stopped (for example, 5 seconds before), an operation instruction for stopping the launch of the game ball is notified. By configuring in this way, in the situation of “short game state 1 at main game” and “short game state 1 at auxiliary game”, the same action as the main game short game state (chance zone) in which the game is played on a normal basis is achieved. Will occur.

  The two methods of (1) adjusting the opening time of the second main game start opening electric accessory 2112 and (2) adjusting the variation time of the auxiliary game symbol can be used in combination. By using it together, it is possible to more effectively avoid a situation in which the short game state during the main game in which a game is played on a normal basis is unintentionally terminated.
