Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide unconventional game interest in a game machine having a small winning game.SOLUTION: With a large winning and a small winning caused to generate double winning (S300: yes and S315: yes, provided the generation is in a small winning game only), unconventional game entertainment property is materialized in which the number of prize game balls increases by high probability of the small winning (S330). Then, with the number of reserved storage becomes 0 (S310: no), a large winning game is generated while a small winning probability is lowered, so that a player is urged to play a tense game in order to maintain the number of reserved storage, which enhances ideas. In addition, the large winning game generated with a low small winning probability is a large winning game that is not generated in the occurrence of double winning; therefore, it also provides such game interest as a large winning game can be reserved.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that generates a small hit game.

  Conventional gaming machines (pachinko machines) generate multiple types of random numbers (hereinafter also simply referred to as random numbers) when a launched game ball enters the start port, and the pattern variation pattern based on these random number values And determine the symbols to be stopped. When these determinations are completed, the change of the symbol is started, and a big hit game is generated when the symbol that is stopped and displayed is a specific symbol. When entering the starting port in a situation where it is not possible to start a new symbol change, such as during a symbol change, the random number generated due to the incoming ball is stored (referred to as hold storage) and the change starts. After the situation becomes possible, the variation pattern and the symbols to be stopped are determined and the variation is started. The current number of reserved memories is notified to the player. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for changing the notification mode of reserved storage depending on whether there is a winning one among the stored random numbers.

  In addition, some recent gaming machines have a small hit game (also referred to as a big hit) in addition to a big hit game (also referred to as a big hit). The game content of the big hit is 8 rounds, 15 rounds, etc. The big prize opening is opened a relatively large number of times, and a large number of prize balls can be expected, whereas the small hit is a few rounds such as 2 rounds. In many cases, the game content is such that the number of prize balls cannot be expected due to the short open time of each round (for example, less than 1 second).

  Patent Document 2 introduces a technique for maintaining a player's expectation by utilizing small hits and big hits. Specifically, it is configured such that a small hit and a big hit can be simultaneously determined to be a hit, and when both are determined to be a simultaneous hit, a small hit is generated and then a big hit is generated. A part of the symbol arrangement displayed at the time of a big hit and a symbol arrangement displayed at the time of a big hit (for example, the arrangement of the symbols displayed at the time of a small hit is a so-called Accordingly, it is described that even if the loss is confirmed, the expectation for the big hit is not impaired.

However, even if it is like patent document 1, as long as a prize ball cannot be expected in a small hit, there is no big difference from the traditional effect that a reach lose is displayed once and then a big hit. It ’s hard to say that you ’re using small hit games.
This invention is made | formed in view of the subject which concerns, and it aims at providing the gaming machine provided with the unprecedented game entertainment by utilizing a small hit.

  The gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, includes a start opening provided in the game area, a large winning opening provided in the game area, and a ball entering the start opening. A big hit determination random number generating means for generating a big hit determination random number due to the game, a small hit determination random number generating means for generating a small hit determination random number due to the ball entering the start opening, and the big winning Whether or not to generate a small hit game that opens the mouth based on the random number for determining the small hit, and determining that the small hit determination means generates the small hit game Whether or not to generate a big hit game that can obtain a larger number of prize balls than the small hit game by opening the big prize opening and the small hit game generating means for generating the small hit game Or not based on the jackpot random number. The jackpot determining means, the jackpot determining means for generating the jackpot game due to the fact that the jackpot determining means has determined to generate the jackpot game, and the same entrance to the starting port When the big win determining means determines that the big hit game is generated and the small hit determination means determines that the small hit game is generated, the small hit game generating means A small hit priority control means for generating the small hit game, and a big hit information storage means for storing the contents of the big hit game determined to be generated by the big hit determination means when the duplicate win is generated, In the event that the duplicate win has occurred, the small hit high that generates a small hit high probability state that has a high probability that the small hit determination means decides to generate the small hit game. When the rate condition generating means and a predetermined end condition are satisfied, the small hit high probability state ending means for ending the small hit high probability state, and when the end condition is satisfied, stored in the jackpot information storage means A jackpot game reproduction means is provided for generating a jackpot game based on the contents of the jackpot game and erasing the contents of the jackpot game stored by the jackpot information storage means.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the gaming machine has a start opening provided in the game area, a big winning opening provided in the game area, and a random number for determining a big hit due to a ball entering the start opening. Generated by a big hit determination random number generating means for generating, a small hit determination random number generating means for generating a small hit determination random number due to the ball entering the start port, and the small hit determination random number generating means Random number holding means capable of storing a plurality of small numbers for determining small hits, and a small hit game for opening the big winning opening with reference to the random numbers for determining small hits stored in the random number holding means in the order of generation Whether or not the small hit determination means for lottery based on the random number for determining the small hit, and the small hit determination means for generating the small hit game due to the fact that the small hit determination means has determined to generate the small hit game The winning game generating means and the big prize opening are opened. The jackpot determining means for lottery based on the jackpot random number whether or not to generate a jackpot game capable of obtaining a larger number of prize balls than the jackpot game, and the jackpot determining means The jackpot game generating means for generating the jackpot game due to the decision to generate the jackpot game, and the jackpot determining means for generating the jackpot game due to the same ball entering the start port And a small hit priority control that causes the small hit game generating means to generate the small hit game when a duplicate winning that determines that the small hit determination means generates the small hit game occurs. Means, and when the duplicate winning occurs, a jackpot information storage means for storing the contents of the jackpot game determined to be generated by the jackpot determining means, and the duplicate winning If it occurs, the small hit high probability state generating means for generating a small hit high probability state with a high probability that the small hit determination means determines to generate the small hit game, and the random number holding means holds the small hit high probability state generating means. When the number of small hit determination random numbers is zero, the small hit high probability state ending means for ending the small hit high probability state, and the number of small hit determination random numbers held in the random number holding means When the value is zero, the jackpot game reproduction means for generating the jackpot game based on the contents of the jackpot game stored by the jackpot information storage means and erasing the contents of the jackpot game stored by the jackpot information storage means; It is characterized by having.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the second aspect, the start opening is a form in which a ball can be entered into the ball entry opening. It is possible to change to at least two forms of closed form, which is difficult to enter the mouth, and as a gaming state of the gaming machine, at least the time when the start opening is in the open form is normal If there is a certain normal state and an open extension state in which the start port is in the open configuration longer than the normal state, and the duplicate win occurs in the normal state, the small hit priority control The means generates the big hit game, and the small hit high probability state generating means does not generate the small hit high probability state.
Here, “a form that is difficult to enter” includes “a form that cannot be entered”. Moreover, there may be a configuration in which there are a plurality of opening forms of the start opening and there is a difference in the time of opening forms between the respective opening forms. In this case, “the time in the open configuration (in the open extended state) is long” means that “the time of all the open configurations in the open extended state is compared with the time of any open configuration in the normal state”. It does not mean “long”. If the time of the open form in both states is averaged, the open extended state only needs to be set longer than the normal state.

  In the above configuration, the big hit determination random number and the small hit determination random number may be the same. In that case, the random number holding means may be configured to store a jackpot determination random number. And the small hit high probability state ending means can be configured to end the small hit high probability state when the number of big hit determination random numbers held in the random number holding means becomes zero. An example in which the big hit determination random number and the small hit determination random number are the same is shown below. That is, the present invention according to claim 4 is the gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the big hit determination random number and the small hit determination random number are the same, A jackpot high probability state generating means for generating a jackpot high probability state with a high probability that the jackpot game is generated by the jackpot determining means after the jackpot game is ended, and in the jackpot high probability state, the jackpot determining means In the state where it is determined that a big hit game is to be generated and the big hit determination random number is determined to be generated by the small hit determination means and is not in the big hit high probability state, The jackpot determination that is determined to generate a big hit game by the determination means and that is determined to generate the small hit game by the small hit determination means Wherein the value of the random number does not exist.

  In the gaming machine according to claim 1, a ball entering the starting port is generated, thereby causing both a determination result of generating a small hit game and a determination result of generating a big hit determination game (overlapping winning) Is generated), a small hit game is generated, and a big hit game is not generated for the time being. When a duplicate win is generated, the jackpot information storage means stores the contents of the jackpot game determined to be generated by the jackpot determination means. When a duplicate win is generated, a high probability state of small hits with a high probability of occurrence of small hits is obtained. The small hit high probability state ends when a predetermined end condition is satisfied. When the small hit high probability state ends, a big hit game is generated based on the contents of the big hit game stored in the big hit information storage means. When a big hit game is generated in this way, the contents of the big hit game stored in the big hit information storage means are erased. Therefore, every time a small hit high probability state occurs, the big hit game is stored by the big hit information storage means. There will be no accumulated big hit game every time the small hit high probability state ends.

  According to the gaming machine configured as described above, when a double win is generated, a small-hit high-probability state in which a small-hit game is generated with high probability is obtained. Accordingly, the player can have not only the expectation for the conventional success / failure but also a new sense of expectation as to whether duplicate winning has occurred. Further, since the contents of the jackpot game determined to be generated by duplicate winning are temporarily stored in the jackpot information storage means and the small hit high probability state is ended, the jackpot game is suspended and later ( Specifically, after the small hit high probability state ends, the game has a unique game characteristic of generating this big hit game.

  Note that the gaming machine according to the present invention may include a plurality of start openings and prize winning openings. There may be a plurality of end conditions. In that case, it may be configured that the small hit high probability state ends when any one end condition is satisfied, or the small hit high probability only after some (or all) of all the end conditions are satisfied. You may make it the structure which a state complete | finishes.

  The gaming machine according to claim 2 includes random number holding means capable of storing a plurality of small hit determination random numbers, and the small hit high probability when the number of small hit determination random numbers stored in the random number holding means becomes zero. The state ends. That is, in the gaming machine according to claim 2, the end condition is that the number of random numbers for determining small hits (also referred to as stored number) stored in the random number holding means is zero. A situation where the random number for determining a small hit is stored in the random number holding means may be a case where a new small hit determination cannot be performed because a small hit game is being generated. In addition, when the design is made to notify the player of the determination result by the small hit determination means by the design that is confirmed and displayed after the design is changed on a predetermined display device, it occurs when the design is changing. It is conceivable to store the small hit determination random number in the random number holding means.

  In any case, it is possible to prevent the number of memories from becoming zero by making an effort for the player to enter the game ball into the starting port. And since the end of the small hit high probability state once generated can be prevented by the presence of the random numbers for determining small hits stored in the random number holding means, the player continues to make efforts to enter the starting hole. Can have a gaming purpose.

  In the gaming machine according to the third aspect, the start opening can be changed between the open form and the closed form. In the open form, the ball can enter the start opening more easily than the closed form. In the open extended state, the time when the start port is in the open configuration is extended as compared with the normal state, and it is easier to enter the start port. In other words, in the extended extended state, the random number holding random number is easily stored in the random number holding means, and the small hit priority control means generates a big hit game when a duplicate win occurs in the normal state. The hit high probability state generating means does not generate a small hit high probability state. Since the big hit probability state does not occur, regardless of whether or not the big hit information storage means stores the contents of the big hit game, the big hit game that is determined to be generated at the time of overlapping winning is at the end of the small hit high probability state It never happens.

  According to the gaming machine configured as described above, the small hit high probability state is generated in the open extended state in which the random number determination random number is easily stored in the random number holding means, so that the generated small hit high probability state is retained. It becomes easy. In other words, if the configuration is such that a small hit high probability state can be generated even in the normal state, a small hit high probability state occurred in a state where the number of memories was small, and the number of memories soon became zero, so it occurred very much. It is possible to prevent a situation where the small hit high probability state has been completed in a short time. In addition, since the small hit high probability state does not occur in the normal state, the occurrence frequency of the small hit high probability state can be controlled by appropriately setting the generation condition of the open extended state.

In the gaming machine according to claim 4, the jackpot determination random number and the small hit determination random number are the same (also referred to as a common random number), and the jackpot game is generated with a higher probability than usual. There is a probability state. In the big hit high probability state, there is a common random value (referred to as a hit determination value) that is determined to generate a big hit game by the big hit determination means and is determined to generate a small hit game by the small hit determination means. For example, if the common random number is 100 integers from 0 to 99, the big hit determination means determines that the big hit game is generated in the case of 5 to 7, and the small hit determination means in the case of 7 to 9 Suppose you decide to generate a small hit game. In this case, 7 is a common winning determination value, and if the common random number is 7, duplicate winning will occur.
On the other hand, in a state that is not a big hit high probability state (hereinafter referred to as a big hit low probability state), there is no hit determination value common to the big hit determination / small hit determination. In the above example, when it is determined that the big hit determination means generates a big hit game in the case of 5, and the small hit determination means determines that the small hit game is generated in the case of 7, there is a common value in the hit determination value. No duplicate wins will occur.

  According to the gaming machine configured as described above, since the big hit determination random number and the small hit determination random number are the same, the generation of the random number for determination and the big hit determination / small hit determination are simplified. Can be done. And, since the winning combination is not generated unless the jackpot high probability state is reached, the player first sets the gaming machine to the jackpot high probability state, and then the gaming machine having a different game interest depending on the gaming state aiming for the double winning It becomes. And of course, a game of aiming at a big hit that is likely to occur in a big hit high probability state like a conventional game machine is possible.

  Although the present invention described in claim 4 is contrary to the present invention, it may be configured such that a common value exists in the hit determination value of the big hit game / small hit game even in the big hit low probability state. In this case, if the common hit judgment value and the number in the big hit high probability state are changed, it becomes possible to change the occurrence probability of the small hit high probability state depending on whether the occurrence probability of the big hit game is low or high. (In claim 4, the occurrence probability of the small hit high probability state in the big hit low probability state is set to zero).

Then, the function unit as the sound control device controls the sound output from the speaker by operating the sound LSI based on the data for sound control, and the function unit as the lamp control device is based on the data for lamp control. The various LED and lamp 26 are controlled by operating the lamp driver. The sub integrated control device 83 is connected with an effect button 67 and a jog dial 68. When the player operates the effect button 67 or the jog dial 68, the signal is input to the sub integrated control device 83. .

  Bi-directional communication is possible between the sub integrated control device 83 and the production symbol control device 82. The effect symbol control device 82 displays the effect symbol display based on the data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both those transmitted from the main control device 80 and those generated by the sub integrated control device 83). The device 6 is controlled to display effect images such as effect symbols on the screen 6 a of the effect symbol display device 6.

  The main routine will be described with reference to FIG. After executing the processing up to S65, the main routine is repeatedly executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S65 every time the main routine is activated is referred to as “main process”, and the time of the time remaining within the remaining time after executing this main process is described. The process of S70 that is repeatedly executed as long as it is allowed is referred to as “residual process”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. If the interrupt is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on. However, microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is usually when power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial settings (for example, writing a predetermined value to the predetermined area of the memory and setting a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol to each initial to the work area of the memory) Value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (S70).

  If a positive determination is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), an initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the initial random number value by 1 each time this process is executed. The initial random number value before this process is incremented by +1, but the random number value before this process is executed is the maximum. When the value is “4799”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 4800 integers from “0” to “4799” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that is incremented by 1 each time the process is executed, similar to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is “4799”, the next process starts. Is returned to “0”, and 4800 integers from “0” to “4799” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. Note that the initial value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 250, the big hit determination random number is updated as “250” “251” “252”... “4799” “0” “1”.

  When the big hit determining random number is updated once (4800 times), the initial value random number at that time is used as the initial value of the big hit determining random number, and the big hit determining random number is +1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. Then, when the big hit determining random number makes one round again, the initial value random number at that time is changed to the initial value of the big hit determining random number. That is, this series of operations is repeated. In the above example, when the big hit determination random number reaches “249”, it is one round, so the next value after “249” is the value of the initial value random number. If the value of the initial random number is “87”, “249” “87” “88”... “4799” “0” “1”. Next to is a new initial random number value.

  The jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 200 integers from “0” to “199”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and is the initial value “0”. Return to. The winning determination random number update process (S35) following S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates six integers “0” to “5”, and is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. Return to a certain “0”. The number of values to be won is “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5” in the open extended state, and “3” in the normal state (non-open extended state). is there. In other words, in the open extended state, it is won with a probability of 5/6, and in the normal state, it is won with a probability of 1/6. This winning determination random number update process is used for lottery of normal symbols, and other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are drawn special symbols. Used for.

  The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates 229 integers from “0” to “228”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and the initial value is “0”. Return to. In the normal probability state, the number of values won when the variable time shortening function is not activated is 21, and the values are “0” to “20”. The number is 5, the values are “0” to “4”, the number of values to be won in the high probability state is 6, and the values are “0” to “5”.

  The variation pattern determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from “0” to “1020”, and is incremented by 1 for each process and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0".

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), confirmation of winning in the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12 and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed. In this embodiment, when the game ball wins the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. are acquired. However, the number that can be reserved and stored is limited to 4 in total including the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, and when the reserved memory is full, the game ball is stored in the first start port 11 or Even if the second start port 12 is won, only the winning ball is paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored on hold.

  Subsequently, a success / failure determination process (S55) is performed as condition establishment determination means for determining whether or not a big hit. When this success / failure determination process (S55) is completed, the fraud monitoring process (S60) is followed by a normal winning opening (a first left winning port 31, a second left winning port 32, a third left winning port 33, a fourth left winning port). Mouth 34) is a process for monitoring whether or not fraud is performed, and it is determined whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening in a predetermined time is larger than a predetermined number. In this case, it is determined to be fraudulent, and this is a process for notifying that effect. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

  In each subsequent output process (S65) such as an image output process, the main controller 80 controls the production symbol controller 82, the payout controller 81, the launch controller 84, the sub-integrated controller 83, the first large as the game progresses. Output processing is executed for each of the winning opening solenoids 14b and the like. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation process (S50) that there is a winning game ball in each winning slot on the game board 1, the winning ball data is output to the payout control device 81 so as to pay out the gaming ball as the winning ball. In the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 83, an error signal is output to the production symbol control device 82 to notify that there is an error when the pachinko machine 50 is abnormal. Each process is executed.

  The above-described remaining process following this process is composed of the initial value random number update process (S70), but is exactly the same process as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute this processing from S10 to S65 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the jackpot processing, the difference in the display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial random number by executing the interrupt process once is not uniform. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the big hit determination random number becomes extremely small. If the value of the initial random number (4800 values from 0 to 4799) when the big hit determining random number makes one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/4800. The hit determination random number update process (S35) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The winning confirmation process of S50 is as shown in FIG. 6, and the main controller 80 determines the first start port 11 and the second start based on the detection signals of the first start port switch 11a and the second start port switch 12a. It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the mouth 12 (S100). If an affirmative determination is made (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, the fall determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the reserved memory is full ( In this embodiment, it is determined whether or not four (S105).

  If the reserved memory is not full (S105: no), each random number is stored as the reserved memory, and the number of lighting of the special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110). When each random number is stored in this way, the process is terminated (returned). If there are already four pending storages (S105: yes), this process is terminated as it is. Moreover, this process is complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into any of the 1st starting port 11 and the 2nd starting port 12 (S100: no).

  The success / failure determination process in S55 is as shown in FIGS. 7 to 12, and the main control device 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating based on the big hit flag (S200). If the determination in S200 is negative, the special symbol is not changing (S205: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S210: no), the process proceeds to S260 in FIG. Judge whether there is.

  If there is this reserved memory (S260: yes), the reserved memory number is decremented (S265), and the process proceeds to S270. In S270, the oldest stored memory is read (the stored memory is erased), and it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set (that is, 1). Here, the probability variation flag of 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S270: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S275). Here, the number of hit values is 120, which are 718 to 777, 1748 to 1777, and 2748 to 2777 (see also FIG. 18A). In other words, the big hit probability is 1/40. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S270: no), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S280). Here, the number of hits is 12, 772 to 777, 1775 to 1777, 2775 to 2777 (see also FIG. 18A). In other words, the big hit probability is 1/400.

  When the determination in S275 or S280 is made, it is determined whether or not the big hit setting flag is 0 (S285). Here, the big hit setting flag indicates whether the small hit determination is performed with high probability or low probability. When the big hit setting flag is 0, the probability is low, and when the big hit setting flag is 1, the probability is low. Make a hit judgment. If the determination is affirmative (S285: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the small hit normal table (S290). Here, the number of hit values is 16, which are 716 to 720, 1746 to 1750, and 2746 to 2751 (see also FIG. 18A). That is, the small hit probability is 1/300. If a negative determination is made in S285, the big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the small hit high accuracy table in S295. Here, the number of hit values is 4799, which is 0 to 4798. That is, the probability of being a small hit is about 99.98%.

  Subsequent to S290, it is determined whether or not a big hit is made (S300: yes) in S300 of FIG. An outline of the method for determining the jackpot symbol is shown in FIG. When the jackpot symbol determining random number is 0-24, the jackpot symbol is determined as symbol 1, when the jackpot symbol determining random number is 25-49, the jackpot symbol is determined as symbol 2, and the jackpot symbol determining random number is 50- In the case of 74, the jackpot symbol is determined as symbol 3, and when the jackpot symbol determining random number is 75 to 99, the jackpot symbol is determined as symbol 4. That is, the distribution of the symbols 1 to 4 is 50/100 in total. In the big hit game generated by the symbols 1 to 4, the first big prize opening 14 is opened 15 times, and the opening time of one time is 30 seconds at the longest. After the jackpot game is over, the jackpot high probability state (probability change function) and special symbol time-saving function are activated 70 times while the special symbol is fluctuated (both these are only 70 times probability change and 70 time reduction). Say). If the big hit occurs again while the special symbol is changed 70 times, the remaining number of operations is reset.

  When the random number for determining the big hit symbol is 100 to 139, the big hit symbol is determined as the symbol 5. That is, the distribution of the symbol 5 is 20/100. The opening pattern of the jackpot game generated by the symbol 5 is the same as that in the case of the symbols 1 to 4, and only the trigger for ending the time-saving function is different. In case of hitting with symbols 1 to 4, 70 times of time reduction occurred after the big hit, but in case of hitting of symbol 5, was the time reduction function activated when symbol 5 was displayed on the special symbol display device 9? It changes as follows depending on whether or not. That is, when the symbol 5 is displayed in a state where the time reduction function is not activated, the time reduction is given 70 times after the end of the big hit, but when the symbol 5 is displayed in a state where the time reduction function is activated, A time reduction of 100 times is given after the big hit. Note that the probability variation function is 70 times regardless of whether the time shortening function is activated or deactivated when the symbol 5 is displayed.

  When the big hit symbol determining random number is 140 to 159, the big hit symbol is determined as symbol 6, and when the big hit symbol determining random number is 160 to 179, the big hit symbol is determined as symbol 7. That is, the distribution of the symbols 5 and 6 is 20/100 in total. In the big hit game generated by the symbols 6 and 7, the first big prize opening 14 is opened 15 times, and the opening time of one time is a maximum of 30 seconds. After the jackpot game is over, the jackpot will be in a low probability state, and the special symbol time-saving function will operate while the special symbol is changed 70 more times.

  When the big hit symbol determining random number is 180 to 189, the big hit symbol is determined to be symbol 8, and when the big hit symbol determining random number is 190 to 199, the big hit symbol is determined to be symbol 9. That is, the distribution of the symbols 8 and 9 is 10/100 in total. In the jackpot game generated by the symbols 8 and 9, the second big prize opening 15 is opened twice, and the maximum opening time of one time is 0.5 seconds. After the big hit game is over, the probability changing function is activated 70 times while the special symbol is changed. With respect to the time reduction function, if the time reduction function is activated when the symbols 8 and 9 are displayed, the time reduction function is further activated 70 times, and if the time reduction function is not activated, it is not activated once.

  Returning to FIG. When the big hit symbol is determined in this way, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved storage is not 0 (S310). If the determination is affirmative, it is determined based on the determination result of S290 whether or not it is a small hit (S315). If this is also an affirmative determination (S315: yes), the big hit setting flag is set to 1 (S330), the big hit symbol information storage process (S335) is performed, and the process proceeds to S345. Here, the jackpot symbol information storage processing is processing for storing the jackpot symbol set in S305, and is processing for generating a jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol later (described later).

  If it is determined in S310 that the number of reserved memories is 0 (S310: no), or if it is determined not to be a small hit in S315 (S315: no), the process proceeds to S320, and a random number for determining a variation pattern is used. A variation pattern is determined, and a big hit setting process is performed (S325). In the big hit setting process, the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15 is set based on the big winning symbol determined in S305.

  If it is determined in S300 that it is not a big hit, it is determined based on the determination result in S290 whether or not it is a small hit (S340). If the determination is affirmative (S340: yes), a small hit symbol is determined (S345). An outline of the method for determining the small hit symbol is shown in FIG. When the big hit symbol determining random number is 0 to 99, the small hit symbol is determined to be symbol 12, and when the big hit symbol determining random number is 100 to 199, the small hit symbol is determined to be symbol 13. In the small hit game generated by the symbol 12, the second big prize opening 15 is opened once, and the opening time is a maximum of 1 second. In the small hit game generated by the symbol 13, the second big prize opening 15 is opened twice, and the opening time is a maximum of 0.5 seconds. As the gaming state after the end of the small hit, the gaming state when each small hit symbol is displayed is inherited. For example, if the gaming state when the symbol 12 is displayed on the special symbol display device 9 is the normal state, the gaming state when the symbol 13 is displayed on the special symbol display device 9 is also the normal state after the end of the small hit. If is a non-probability change state and a short time state, the non-probability change state and a short time state are obtained even after the small hit is completed.

  When the small hit symbol is determined in this way, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determining random number (S350), and the small hit setting process (S355) is performed. In the small hit setting process, the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 15 is set based on the small hit symbol determined in S345, and the decrement of the probability variation number (when the probability variation flag is 1) and the decrement number of the short time ( (When the time reduction flag is 1). If it is determined in S340 that it is not a small hit, a variation pattern determination process (S360) is performed, and a loss setting process is performed (S365). In the lose setting process, the symbol 14 is determined as the symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display device 9 (see also FIG. 18B), the decrement of the probability change count (when the probability variation flag is 1), and the decrement count of the time reduction (time reduction). (When the flag is 1).

  Subsequent to S325, S355, or S365, the data indicating the lottery results described above, specifically, the normal big hit, the probable big hit, the out of reach (with out of reach but with reach display), the out of the small hit with no reach display. A change start command (display control command) including data indicating either one and change pattern data specifying the change time is output to the sub integrated control device 83 (S370). In the process of S370, the effect symbol display device 6 sets an effect symbol and starts its variation display, but the variation of the special symbol is also started by the main controller 80 almost simultaneously.

  If a small hit determination is made in S295, it is determined whether or not a big hit is made in S400 of FIG. 10, and if a negative determination (not a big hit), it is determined whether or not a small hit is made in S405. If the determination is affirmative (S405: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved memories is 0. If the determination is affirmative (there is reserved memory), a small hit symbol is determined (S415), and a variation pattern is determined. The fluctuation pattern is determined by the random number for use (S420), the small hit setting process (S425) is performed, and the process proceeds to S370. When it is a big hit (S400: yes), not a small hit (S405: no), or there is no reserved storage (S410: no), a big hit symbol information extraction process (S430) is performed. The jackpot symbol information extraction process (S430) is a process of extracting the jackpot symbol information stored in the jackpot symbol information storage process (S335). Then, a variation pattern determination process (S435) is performed, a big hit setting process (S440) is performed, and the process proceeds to S370.

  If it is determined in FIG. 7 that the special symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to S450 in FIG. 11, and the symbol change time (based on the change pattern of S320, S350, S360, S420, or S435) is reached. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed. If the determination is negative (S450: no), the special game process is performed. If the determination is affirmative, the confirmed symbol display process (S455) is performed, and then the special game process is performed.

  If it is determined in FIG. 7 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to S500 in FIG. 12, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended. If the determination is negative (S500: no), the special game process is performed. If the determination is affirmative, it is determined whether the combination is a big hit after the fixed symbol display end process (S505). If the determination is affirmative, it is determined whether or not the probability change flag is 1 (S515). If the determination is affirmative (S515: yes), the probability change flag is set to 0 (S520), and the process proceeds to S525. If a negative determination is made (S515: no), the process proceeds to S525 as it is.

  In S525, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If the time reduction flag is 1 (S525: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S530, and the process proceeds to S535. If the time reduction flag is not 1 (S525: no), the process proceeds to S535.

  In S535, it is determined whether or not the big hit setting flag is 1. If the big hit setting flag is 1 (S535: yes), the big hit setting flag is set to 0 in S540, and the process proceeds to S545. If the big hit setting flag is not 1 (S535: no), the process proceeds to S545 as it is.

  In S545, the big hit flag is set by the conditional device operation start process. In step S550, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in step S555, a big hit start effect process is performed. In the jackpot start effect process, a command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, release pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  If it is determined in S510 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win, the process proceeds to S560 to determine whether or not the probability variation flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S560: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation number is 0 (S565). If the probability variation count is 0 (S565: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S570, and the process proceeds to S575. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S560: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S565: no), the processing proceeds to S575 as it is. In S575, it is determined whether the time reduction flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S575: yes), it is determined whether the time reduction count is 0 (S580). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S580: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S585, and the process proceeds to S590. When the time reduction count is not 0 (S580: no) or when the time reduction flag is not 1 (S575: no), the process proceeds to S590.

  In S590, a state designation command indicating the current game state is being changed or not is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and in the subsequent S595, the special display that is confirmed is displayed. It is determined whether or not the symbol is a symbol that is a small hit. If the symbol is a small hit (S595: yes), a special electric accessory starting process (S600) is performed, and a small hit starting effect process is performed in S605. In the small hit start effect processing, a command for starting a small hit game (small hit) and information related to the small hit game (opening time for small hit, ending time for small hit, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. . When the small hit start effect process ends, the special game process is executed. If it is determined in S595 that the symbol is not a small hit, the special game process is executed as it is.

  In the special game process shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the jackpot flag (S <b> 650). If the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S650: yes), it is determined whether or not the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15 is open (S655). It is to be noted that the second big prize winning opening 15 is opened only when the symbol 8 or symbol 9 is hit (that is, when the two round probability variation big hit occurs). Hereinafter, in the description of the special game process, “big prize opening” refers to a big prize opening (either the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15) that is opened by the symbol that generated the big hit. And If the big prize opening is not open (S655: no), it is determined whether the big prize opening is closed during the interval between rounds (S660). If it is not during the interval (S660: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S665). If this is also a negative determination (S665: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the production to start the big hit game has passed (S670). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S670: yes), the big winning opening opening process (S675) is performed and this process is ended (return).

  If it is determined in S655 that the big prize opening is being opened, the process proceeds to S700 in FIG. 14 to determine whether or not ten big prize openings have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When ten winning prizes are won (S700: yes), the process proceeds to S710, and the closing prize closing process is performed. Then, a big hit interval process (S715) is performed, and the special game process is terminated. If ten winning prizes have not been won (S700: no), the process proceeds to S705, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the big winning prize has ended. In this embodiment, in the case of a big hit in 15 rounds, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 30 seconds. In addition, the maximum opening time of each round in the case of two rounds of big hit is set to 0.5 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to these seconds. When the opening time is over (S705: yes), the process merges with S710, and when it is not over (S705: no), the special game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S660 in FIG. 13 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S720 in FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S720: yes), it is determined whether or not the last winning round was the last round (S725). If it is the final round (S725: yes), a big hit end effect process (S730) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S725: no), the process of opening the grand prize opening again (S735) is performed, and the special game process is terminated. When it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S720: no), the special game process is terminated as it is. In the process of opening / closing the special winning opening, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  If it is determined in S665 in FIG. 13 that the big hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S750 in FIG. 15 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S750: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S755), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S760). Then, it is determined whether or not to shift to probabilistic after the big hit (S765). When shifting to probability variation, the probability variation number (70 times) is set (S770), the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S775), and the procedure proceeds to S780. When the process does not shift to the probability change (S765: no), the process proceeds to S780 as it is.

  In S780, it is determined whether or not the time shifts after the big hit. If the determination is affirmative (S780: yes), the number of hour / hours is set (S785), the hour / hour flag is set to 1 (S790), and the process proceeds to S795. When the hour / short flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol's average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol's average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol's accuracy change function, and the normal electric accessory's opening extension function are set, and the hour / times counter value is set. set. If the time does not change (S780: no), the process goes straight to S795. In S795, a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a status designation command indicating the current game state is being changed or whether the time is being shortened is sent to the sub-integrated control device 83. The process of transmitting (S800) is performed and the special game process is terminated. The above is the special game process.

  When it is determined in FIG. 13 that the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S650: no), the small hit game process shown in FIG. 16 is executed. When this process is started, it is determined in S850 whether the special electric accessory is in operation, and if it is in operation (S850: yes), it is determined whether the second big prize opening 15 is open (S855). In the case of a negative determination (S855: no), it is determined whether it is during the interval between small hit games (S860). If it is not the interval between the small hit games (S860: no) and it is not in the end effect of the small hit game (S865: no), it waits for the time required for the start effect of the small hit game to elapse (S870: yes). Then, the second grand prize opening 15 is opened (S875), and this process is terminated. If it is determined that the special electric accessory is not operating (S850: no) or that the time required for the small hit start effect has not elapsed (S870: no), the present process is terminated. .

  If it is determined in S855 in FIG. 16 that the second grand prize opening 15 is being opened, the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. 17, and it is determined whether or not 10 pieces have been won in the second big prize opening 15. If it is determined that ten pieces have not been won in the second big prize opening 15 (S900: no), the process proceeds to S905, and it is judged whether or not the opening time of the second big prize opening 15 has ended. In the present embodiment, in the case of a small hit, the maximum time for each opening is set to 1 second when the symbol 12 is hit and 0.5 second when the symbol 13 is hit. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S905: yes), a special winning opening closing process is performed in S910. Then, a small hit interval process (S915) is performed, and the small hit game process is terminated. When 10 pieces are won in the second big prize opening 15 (S900: yes), the process goes directly to S910, and when the opening time of the second big prize opening 15 is not over (S905: no), the small hit game processing Exit.

  If it is determined in S860 in FIG. 16 that the small hit interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S920 in FIG. 17 to determine whether or not the small hit interval time has elapsed. When the small hit interval time has passed (S920: yes), the second big prize winning opening 15 is a prescribed number of times (one time when the symbol 12 is hit by the symbol 12, and two times when the symbol 13 is hit by the symbol 13). Also refer to FIG. 18 (b)) It is determined whether the game has been released or 10 pieces have been won. If the determination is affirmative (S925: yes), a small hit end effect process (S930) is performed and the small hit game process is ended. In the case of negative determination (S925: no), the second big prize opening 15 is opened once by the big prize opening process (S935), and the small hit game process is ended. In other words, in the small hit generated by displaying the symbol 13 on the special symbol display device 9, the second big prize winning opening 15 is basically opened twice for 0.5 seconds, but 10 in one opening. If there are more prizes, the small win ends with only one opening. Actually, it is rare that 10 or more winnings are generated by one opening, so in the following explanation, the second big winning opening 15 is always 0.5 seconds each for the small hit generated by the symbol 13. The description will be made assuming that the opening is performed twice. Similarly, in the small hit generated by the symbol 12, the second big prize opening 15 is always opened only once for one second.

  If it is determined in S865 in FIG. 16 that the small hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S940 in FIG. 17 to determine whether or not the small hit end effect time has elapsed. When it is determined that the small hit end effect time has elapsed (S940: yes), the process proceeds to S945. In S945, the operation of the special electric accessory is stopped, and in S950, a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the small hit game process is ended. When it is determined that the small hit end effect time has not elapsed (S940: no), the small hit game processing is ended as it is.

  The flow of the game in the pachinko machine 50 configured as described above is as follows. When a loss, a small hit, or a normal big hit (big hit by symbols 6 and 7) occurs in a normal state (a state where the big hit or the small hit has a low probability), the normal state continues. In the normal state, there is no big hit determination random number that is common to the big hit determination value and the small hit determination value (see FIG. 18A). Never become. In addition, after the big hit, the time is reduced while the special symbol fluctuates 70 times. However, the time reduced state only makes it difficult for the player to reduce the number of balls, and in the first embodiment, the game flow is affected. Absent.

  When a probable big hit (big hit by symbols 1 to 5 or symbols 8 and 9) occurs, after the big hit game is over, the big hit state becomes a high probability state, and the big hit decision common to the big hit judgment value and the big hit judgment value is used. A random value is generated. Specifically, if the value of the random number for determining the big hit matches any of the total of 10 values 718 to 720, 1748 to 1750, 2748 to 2751, both the big hit and the small hit are determined to be hit (double winning). The probability is 1/480. This high probability state continues while the special symbol fluctuates 70 times, and the short time state also occurs simultaneously with the high probability state and continues.

  When the big hit and the small hit are both hit determinations, the big hit symbol is determined (S305), and the determination result is stored (S335). That is, information is stored as to whether the big hit is 15R probability change, 15R normal, or 2R probability change. The small hits are also in a high probability state (S330). A small hit is generated in response to the determination of a small hit, but a big hit is not generated at this point. In addition, when a small hit occurs in the symbol 12, the big hit symbol determining random number is 0 to 99. Therefore, the winning big hit corresponding to this corresponds to the symbols 1 to 5, This is stored in S335. That is, when a small hit corresponding to the symbol 12 (the second big prize opening 15 is opened for 1 second) occurs and the small hit high probability state, the big hit corresponding to the symbols 1 to 5 is stored. Determine. Since the small hit is in a high probability state, as described above, the small hit determination is made with a probability of about 99.98%. Therefore, in most cases, when a start winning occurs, a small hit occurs (in the following explanation, Unless otherwise noted, in the high probability state of small hits, it will not be lost in the small hit determination). When a small hit occurs, the second big prize opening 15 is opened, and a winning ball can be obtained by entering the second big prize opening 15. In addition, when the pattern 12 hits the symbol 12, the second big prize opening 15 is opened only once for 1 second, and when the symbol 13 hits, the second big prize opening 15 is held for 0.5 seconds. Although it is only opened twice, the special symbol variation time is shortened during the short time, so small hits occur frequently. As a result, in the high probability state of small hits, the second big prize opening 15 is repeatedly opened and closed regardless of which of the symbols 12 and 13 occurs, and the second big prize opening 15 is easily entered. A ball can be obtained and a prize ball can be obtained.

  When the number of reserved memories becomes 0 in the high probability state of small hit (S410: no), the process proceeds to S430, and the big hit symbol stored in the big hit symbol information storage process (S335) is displayed after the symbol change. A command is transmitted (S370), and the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed (S210: yes), so that the jackpot setting flag is set to 0 (S540), and the small probability high probability state ends. However, the high probability state of the small hit is generated in the high probability state of the big hit, that is, a short-time state, and the game ball easily enters the second starting port 12, so that the stored memory is stored unless the game is interrupted. The number is unlikely to be zero.

  In the small hit high probability state, when the big hit determination is successful (S400: yes), the process proceeds to S430, and the small hit high probability state is terminated by the same processing. If the big hit is in a high probability state, the big hit is also in a high probability state, so this situation will occur with a probability of 1/40, and in most cases the small hit will be hit. However, in the high probability state of the small hit, the occurrence of the big hit is prioritized over the occurrence of the small hit (because the determination related to the big hit in S400 is in the previous stage than the determination related to the small hit in S405). Therefore, the high probability state of small hits ends. In addition to the above, there is a case where the small hit is lost as a condition for ending the high probability state of the small hit, but as described above, this probability is considerably low as 1/4800. In addition, when the special symbol fluctuates 70 times after the big hit game ends and the time is stopped, the game ball cannot enter the second start port 12. As a result, the number of reserved memories is likely to decrease, and when the number of reserved memories becomes zero, the small probability high probability state ends.

  According to the pachinko machine 50 configured as described above, the number of prize balls can be increased due to the high probability of the small hit if the big hit and the small hit are duplicated in addition to the consecutive characteristics in the probability variation state of the conventional machine. It will have an unprecedented gameability. As a result, a player who is prone to change can face the game with an anticipation of “I want you to win twice” in addition to the traditional expectation of “Let's continue to win with probabilities”. When the number of reserved memories becomes zero, the probability of small hits is reduced (due to occurrence of big hits), so the player plays a game so as not to reduce the number of reserved memories. This makes it possible to play a tense game and increase the taste. In particular, after the special symbol fluctuates 70 times and the extended extended state ends, the number of reserved memories tends to decrease, so the degree of tension increases, but the high probability state of the big hit also ends, so the occurrence of a big hit game It is possible to enjoy a special gaming state in which the end of the small hit high probability state hardly occurs.

  In addition, since the jackpot game that occurs at the end of the small hit high probability state is a jackpot game that did not occur at the time of overlapping winning, it has a game entertainment that can hold the jackpot game. In addition, if a small hit game occurs in the symbol 12 and the small hit is in a high probability state, it is determined that the winning big hit overlapping with this is a 15-round probability change, so the small hit high probability state ends. After that, you can play with great expectations.

Here, the correspondence between the configuration of the present embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown. The first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12 correspond to the “starting port” of the present invention, and the first big winning port 14 and the second large winning port 15 correspond to the “big winning port” of the present invention (accurately) The first big winning opening 14 corresponds to the big winning opening of the big hit game, the second big winning opening 15 corresponds to the big winning opening of the small hit game), and the random number for determining the big hit is the “small hit of the present invention. S25 corresponds to the processing that also serves as the “random hit determination random number generation means” and the “big hit determination random number generation means” of the present invention. The processing of S110 corresponds to the “random number holding means” of the present invention, the processing of S275 and S280 corresponds to the “big hit determination means” of the present invention, and the processing of S290 and S295 corresponds to the “small hit determination means” of the present invention. Corresponding, if an affirmative determination is made in S315, the processing of S345 to S355 is performed The portion corresponding to "small hit priority control means" of the present invention, the process of S335 corresponds to "big hit information storage means" of the present invention, and the process of S330 is "small hit high probability state generating means" of the present invention. The special game process performed after executing S355 or S425 corresponds to the “small hit game generating means” of the present invention, and the special game process performed after executing S325 is the “big hit game” of the present invention. The special game process performed after executing S430 to S440 corresponds to the “big hit game reproduction means” of the present invention, and the process of S540 corresponds to the “small hit high probability state end means” of the present invention. The processes of S765 to S775 correspond to the “big hit high probability state generating means” of the present invention. In addition, the “end condition” of the present invention is that a big hit, no small hit, and the number of reserved storage becomes zero, and if at least one of these holds, a small hit high probability state Is configured to end.
[Example 2]

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, only different points will be described mainly.
In the gaming machine of the second embodiment, the big hit random number and the small hit random number are independent. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, the main routine performs the big hit symbol determination random number update processing (S1000) and the small hit symbol determination random number update processing (S1005) after updating the big hit symbol determination random number in S30. Then, a hit determination random number update process (S35) is performed.

The small hit determination random number update process (S1000) is an increment process that increments by 1 each time the process is executed. When the maximum value is “2399”, the initial value is returned to “0” in the next process. 2400 integers from “0” to “2399” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. Note that the initial value of the random number for determining small hits is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. However, when the value set in the initial value random number setting process is 2400 or more, the value obtained by subtracting 2400 therefrom is the first value of the random numbers for determining the small hits. If the value set in the initial value random number setting process is “250”, the small hit determination random number is updated to “250”, “251”, “252”, “2399”, “0”, “1”,. Assuming that the value set in the initial value random number setting process is “2500”, “100” “101” “102”... “2399” “0” is obtained by subtracting 2400 from 100. “1”...
The small-hit symbol determination random number update process (S1005) is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates eight integers “0” to “7”, and is incremented by 1 for each process and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0".

  The process of FIG. 8 performed when it is determined that the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the success / failure determination process of FIG. 7 (S210: no) is as shown in FIG. 20 in the second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that after decrementing the number of reserved storage (S265), it is determined whether or not the big hit determination flag is 0 (S285). When a positive determination is made (S285: yes), the small hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal hit table (S290). Except for the fact that the collation target is a random number for determining small hits, the contents of the small hit normal table, the collation method, etc. are the same as in S290 of the first embodiment. When this collation is completed, it is determined in S270 whether or not the probability variation flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S270: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S275). If S270 is negative, the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table. The processing of S270 to S280 is the same as the processing of S270 to S280 in the first embodiment.

  If the determination in S275 or S280 is made, the process proceeds to S300 in FIG. 21, and thereafter, processing similar to that in FIG. 9 of the first embodiment is performed. The difference between the process of FIG. 21 and the process of FIG. 9 is that, first, after determining the big hit symbol in S305, it is determined in S1010 whether or not the time flag is 1, and if affirmative determination (S1010: yes) The process proceeds to S310, and the process is performed in substantially the same manner as FIG. 9 of the first embodiment (only second and third differences described later are different). However, if the determination is negative (S1010: no), the process proceeds to S320. The point is that a big hit is generated by a series of subsequent processes. Thus, in order for the small hit to be in a high probability state, not only the big hit and the small hit are determined at the same time, but also a short time state is required.

  Second, it is a table for determination of success / failure used in the case of small hit determination (S315, S340). Corresponding to the fact that the small hit determining random number is 0 to 2399 in the second embodiment, when the small hit determining random number is in a high probability state, the small hit determining random number is 0 to 2398. It has become. That is, the probability of being a small hit is about 99.96%. On the other hand, when the small hit is in a low probability state, the random hit determination random numbers are 72 to 77, 1075 to 1077, and 2075 to 2077, and the probability of the small hit is 1 / 200 (see also FIG. 23). While the small hit determination value is different from that of the first embodiment as described above, the big hit determination value is common to the first embodiment as shown in FIG. Absent. Still, the hit random number for big hits and the hit random number for small hits are independent,

  Third, the small hit symbol determination method in S345. In the second embodiment, the small hit symbol determination method is changed in response to the small hit symbol determination random number being 0 to 7, and if the small hit symbol determination random number is 0 to 3, the small hit symbol determination random number is changed. The symbol is determined to be the symbol 12, and if the random number for determining the small hit symbol is 4 to 7, the small hit symbol is determined to be the symbol 13.

  Returning to FIG. When it is determined that the big hit setting flag is not 0 (S285: no), the small hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the small hit high accuracy table in S295. Except for the fact that the collation target is a random number for determining small hits, the contents of the small hit high accuracy table, the collation method, and the like are the same as in S295 of the first embodiment. When this collation is completed, the process of FIG. 22 is performed. The process of FIG. 22 is similar to the process of FIG. 10 of the first embodiment, but there is no part of the process (S400 in FIG. 10) that moves to S430 when it is determined that the big hit. In other words, the state where the small hit is highly probable is a specification that does not end when a big hit occurs. In this way, if the small hit is in a high probability state, the occurrence of the big hit does not affect the progress of the game, so the processing from S285 to S295 in FIG. 20 is before the determination of the probability change flag in S270.

According to the pachinko machine 50 configured as described above, since the big hit determination random number and the small hit determination random number are independent, there is a possibility that duplicate winning will occur in various gaming states. For example, in the first embodiment, duplicate winning occurs only in the high probability state of jackpot, but in the gaming machine of the second embodiment, even when winning with 15 round normal symbols (symbol 6 or 7), Duplicate winnings may occur during the 70 open extended states that occur after the jackpot game ends. And since the extended extended state is generally a state in which the number of reserved memories is large, after the transition to the small hit high probability state, the situation that the small hit high probability state will end soon after the transition to the small hit high probability state is prevented. can do. In addition, in the non-open extended state, even if a duplicate win occurs, it does not shift to the small hit high probability state, so that it is possible to prevent excessive shift to the small hit high probability state.
In this embodiment, the small hit determination random number corresponds to the “small hit determination random number” of the present invention, and the big hit determination random number corresponds to the “big hit determination random number” of the present invention. Unlike the first embodiment, the big hit is excluded from the “end condition” of the present invention.
[Other embodiments]

  You may apply this invention to the game machine from which another special symbol fluctuates by the case where it enters into the 1st starting port 11, and the case where it enters into the 2nd starting port 12. An example of this case is shown in FIG. FIG. 24 shows the special symbol 1 (special symbol which is changed when entering the first starting port 11; expressed as “special 1” in FIG. 24), special symbol 2 ( A special symbol that is changed when the ball enters the second starting port 12. This is shown for each "special 2" in FIG. Note that the jackpot determination value is common to the special symbol 1 and the special symbol 2, and only one type is shown. Further, the present embodiment is based on the first embodiment, and the small hit determination is also performed using the big hit determination random number, and the value is 0-4799. Although not shown, the gaming machine of the present embodiment is newly provided with a second special symbol display device for displaying the special symbol 2, and the special symbol 1 is displayed on the special symbol display device 9. The second special symbol display device is a 7-segment display device similar to the special symbol display device 9.

  The small hit determination value of the special symbol 1 is 10 in a low probability state of 0 to 9, and as a result, the small hit probability is 1/480. In addition, since the big hit judgment value of 0-9 does not have a common value with the big hit judgment value (regardless of high probability / low probability), when the special symbol 1 is judged as the small hit, It will not be judged. And for special symbol 1, there is no high probability state of small hits.

  There are 16 small hit determination values for special symbol 2 in the low probability state, that is, 718 to 722, 1748 to 1752, and 2748 to 2753. As a result, the small hit probability is 1/480. As in the first embodiment, when the big hit is in the low probability state, this judgment value is not common to the big hit judgment value, and when the big hit is in the high probability state, there is a setting in which there is a common judgment value. The setting is such that both small hits and big hits may be judged as hits. When the small hit is in a high probability state, the small hit determination value is 0 to 4798, and the small hit probability is about 99.92%.

With the above configuration, it is only 1/480 that the special symbol 1 fluctuates and a small hit occurs. And even if the big hit is either high probability or low probability, there is no common value between the small hit judgment value and the big hit judgment value, so there is no duplicate win, so the small hit is in a high probability state. Never become.
On the other hand, as described above, the ball enters the second start port 12 only when the ordinary electric accessory is opened. Further, even if the ordinary electric accessory is released, it is difficult to enter the ball if the opening time is short, so that the special symbol 2 causes the small hit to be in an open extended state exclusively. Only when the big hit is in a high probability state, the double win for the small hit and the big hit occurs, and the occurrence of the big hit shifts to a high probability state. The subsequent game flow is the same as in the first embodiment.

  According to the gaming machine configured as described above, if the big hit is in a high probability state, the ball hardly enters the second starting port 12, so it is difficult to shift the small hit to the high probability state. The chance to shift the small hit to the high probability state occurs only after the big hit high probability state with the. In this way, it is possible to achieve a game specification that is very sharp depending on whether a high probability state of jackpot and an open extension state occur.

  In any of the above-described embodiments, there are a plurality of end conditions for the small hit high probability state (for example, the first embodiment is determined to be a big hit, the small hit is lost, and the number of reserved memories becomes zero. If one of these conditions is satisfied, the small hit high probability state ends. There may be only one kind of termination condition. On the contrary, if a plurality of conditions are not satisfied at the same time, the small hit high probability state may not be terminated. In any of the above-described embodiments, when the small hitting high probability state ends when it is determined to be a big hit, the symbol information that generated the small hitting high probability state is stored (S335). In addition to this, the jackpot game that ended the small hit high probability state may be generated.

  Although the pachinko machine 50 of the above embodiment has two large winning openings, the present invention may be applied to a gaming machine having only one large winning opening. However, in that case, the arrangement of the big winning opening and the second starting opening 12 is devised so that the opening of the second starting opening 12 in the open extended state does not hinder the entry to the big winning opening opened by the small hit. It is desirable to do so (for example, the two are arranged apart from each other).

  In addition, although the pachinko machine 50 of the said Example was the structure provided with the upper plate 55 and the lower plate 63, you may apply this invention to the game machine which does not have one or both of these plates. Further, the pachinko machine 50 is configured to pay out game balls (prize balls, etc.) based on a command issued by the payout control device 81, but the present invention is applied to such a game machine that does not pay out actual game balls. It doesn't matter. In such a gaming machine, the data indicating the player's possession is held by the gaming machine or the hall computer 87, and when each prize opening switch detects that the entry into the prize opening has occurred, the prize ball is included in the data of the possession. It is conceivable to add only the amount.

A small lot that refers to the random numbers for determining small hits stored in the random number holding means in the order of generation, and draws lots based on the random numbers for determining small hits whether or not to generate a small hit game that opens the big winning opening. A hit judging means;
A small hit game generating means for generating the small hit game due to the small hit determination means determining that the small hit game is generated;
A jackpot determination means for lottery based on the jackpot random number whether or not to generate a jackpot game capable of obtaining a larger number of prize balls than the jackpot game by opening the jackpot.
Jackpot game generating means for generating the jackpot game due to the jackpot determining means determining that the jackpot game is to be generated;
Due to the same ball entering the start opening, the big hit determining means determines that the big hit game is generated, and the small hit determination means determines that the small hit game is generated. In the event that occurs, a small hit priority control means for causing the small hit game generating means to generate the small hit game,
A jackpot information storage means for storing the contents of the jackpot game determined to be generated by the jackpot determination means when the duplicate winning occurs;
If the double winning occurs, the small hit high probability state generating means for generating a small hit high probability state with a high probability that the small hit determination means determines to generate the small hit game;
When the number of small hit determination random numbers held in the random number holding means becomes zero, the small hit high probability state ending means for ending the small hit high probability state;
When the number of random numbers for determining the small hits held in the random number holding means becomes zero, a big hit game is generated based on the contents of the big hit game stored by the big hit information storage means, and the big hit information storage means A game machine comprising: a jackpot game reproduction means for erasing the contents of the jackpot game stored by the game machine. The gaming machine according to claim 2,
The start opening can be changed to at least two forms: an open form in which it is possible to enter the entrance and a closed form in which entry into the entrance is more difficult than the open form. And
As the gaming state of the gaming machine, at least a normal state in which the time when the start port is in the open configuration is normal, and an open state in which the time during which the start port is in the open configuration is longer than the normal state There is an extended state,
When the duplicate win occurs in the normal state, the small hit priority control means generates the big hit game, and the small hit high probability state generating means does not generate the small hit high probability state. A gaming machine characterized by being. The gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
The big hit determination random number and the small hit determination random number are the same,
A jackpot high probability state generating means for generating a jackpot high probability state in which the probability of the jackpot game being generated by the jackpot determination means is high after the jackpot game ends;
In the jackpot high probability state, there is a value of the jackpot determination random number determined to generate a jackpot game by the jackpot determination means and determined to generate a jackpot game by the jackpot determination means,
In the state that is not the big hit high probability state, it is determined that the big hit game is generated by the big hit determination means, and the big hit determination random number value that is determined to generate the small hit game by the small hit determination means is A gaming machine that does not exist.
