Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which an effect indicating which type of jackpot game is given among a plurality of types of jackpot games is executed after the jackpot display result is displayed in the symbol variation game.

  Conventionally, a pachinko machine which is a kind of gaming machine is provided with a variable display of a liquid crystal display type, for example, and a symbol combination game that displays a combination of symbols by changing a plurality of types of symbols on the variable display (symbol changing game) Has been done. Then, the player can recognize a big hit or a loss from the symbol combination derived in the symbol combination game and finally displayed to be confirmed and stopped. Some of these pachinko machines are equipped with a function of providing an advantageous game state (privilege) different from the jackpot game after the jackpot game ends. As such a function, for example, a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function is known. The probability change function is a function that gives a player a probability change state (high probability state) in which the winning probability (lottery probability) of the big hit varies from a normal probability that is a low probability to a high probability after the big hit game ends.

  By the way, in recent years, a jackpot symbol that is a non-probable big hit (non-probable variable symbol) that is not given a probability variation state during a symbol combination game is displayed, and the probability variation big hit (figure variation state is given by changing the symbol again) There is a pachinko machine that performs a re-lottery effect for deriving a jackpot symbol that becomes a probable variation symbol. By doing this, even if the jackpot symbol is a non-probable variable symbol, the player will have a sense of expectation that it may eventually become a probable symbol until the symbol is finalized (the symbol combination game is over). Can do. In recent years, in order to increase the player's awareness of participation in the game, a pachinko machine has been proposed in which an operation button that can be operated by the player is provided and the operation button is operated during the re-lottery effect. (For example, patent document 1). In the pachinko machine of Patent Document 1, whether or not to perform a probable promotion effect suggesting that there is a possibility that a probable change state may be given when the player operates the operation button during the re-lottery effect. A gaming machine has been proposed. According to this, when the probability variation promotion effect is performed by the operation of the operation button, it is possible to give an impression as if the player himself has been in the probability variation state.

JP 2006-319661 A

  However, in such a pachinko machine, when a big hit was made in the probability variation design, the above-described probability variation promotion effect could not be performed. For this reason, variations in the contents of the jackpot game are reduced, and the player's interest in the jackpot game may be reduced.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine that can increase the variation of the contents of the jackpot game and improve the interest of the player.

  In order to solve the above problem, the invention according to claim 1 is a big hit in a first symbol variation game performed by varying the first special symbol or a second symbol variation game performed by varying the second special symbol. When a display result is displayed, in the gaming machine that grants a jackpot game that opens a winning means that allows a game ball to enter after the end of the first symbol variation game or the second symbol variation game, First start winning detection means configured to detect a winning game ball configured to be awarded, second start winning detection means configured to detect a winning game ball configured to be able to win a game ball, and the first start winning prize When the detecting means detects the winning of the game ball, the first hold storage means for updating and storing the first hold memory number indicating the number of the first symbol variation game being held, and the second start winning detection means When a game ball winning is detected When the second reserved memory number is stored, the second reserved memory means for updating and storing the second reserved memory number indicating the number of the second symbol variable game being held, the first symbol variation When determining whether or not the second symbol variation game is a big hit in preference to the game, and when the second reserved memory number is not stored and the first reserved memory number is stored, A jackpot determining means for determining whether or not the first symbol variation game is a jackpot, and if the determination result of the jackpot determining means is affirmative, the jackpot game to be determined and awarded from a plurality of types of jackpot games After the end of the jackpot game, the probability change granting means that can give a probability variation state that changes the winning probability of the jackpot determination from a low probability to a high probability, and a final result of the symbol variation game for the player Display Based on the effect design determining means for determining the end stop effect design and the final stop effect design determined by the effect design determining means, a temporary design for temporarily stopping display before the end of the symbol variation game is determined. In the symbol determination means, during the symbol variation game, after the temporary symbol determined by the temporary symbol determination means is temporarily stopped and displayed, the temporary symbol is variably displayed, and a re-lottery effect is performed to display the final stop effect symbol. A re-lottery effect control means that can be executed, and an effect control means for executing a game effect related to the jackpot game when the determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative while executing the symbol variation game, The jackpot game granting means is such that when the second symbol variation game is a big hit, the winning means is totally released compared to the case where the first symbol variation game is a big hit. A special jackpot game having a longer time than a normal jackpot game is provided with a high probability, and the effect design determining means is provided with a probability variation state and the total opening time of the winning means is usually a big hit When a special jackpot game that is longer than the game is awarded, the final stop effect design is determined from all kinds of performance symbols, and among the normal jackpot games, the normal probability variable jackpot game to which the probability variation state is assigned is determined. When awarded, the final stop effect design is determined from the design symbols other than the specific design symbol indicating that a special jackpot game is awarded, and the normal non-probability state in which the probability variation state is not given among the normal jackpot games When a probabilistic big hit game is awarded, a non-probable effect design symbol excluding a specific effect design symbol and a probabilistic effect design symbol that gives a definite notification of the state of probability variation from all the design symbols The final stop symbol is determined from the inside, and the temporary symbol determination means determines the temporary symbol from all the effect symbols when the specific effect symbol is determined as the final stop effect symbol, and the final stop effect is determined. When the design for the probable change effect is determined as the design symbol, the temporary design is determined from the design for the effect excluding the design symbol for the specific effect, and the design for the non-probable effect effect is determined as the design for the final stop effect. Determines a tentative symbol from among the symbols for non-probable variation effects, and when the effect control means displays the symbol for specific effect as the symbol for final stop effect during execution of the game effect related to the special jackpot game, While the special jackpot game is shown, if the probabilistic effect design is displayed as the final stop effect design, a special promotion effect indicating that the special jackpot game is given during the jackpot game is displayed. Execute If the non-probable variation effect design is displayed as the final stop effect design, the probability variation promotion effect that performs the definite notification of the probability variation state during the jackpot game may be executed. If the probability variation effect symbol is displayed as the final stop effect symbol during execution of the game effect related to the normal probability variation jackpot game, the probability variation state is definitely notified while the non-probability effect symbol is displayed. When the probability variation effect design is displayed as the final stop effect design, the probability variation promotion effect can be executed before the specific number of round games starts, and usually the non-probability variation big hit game The gist of the present invention is that the special promotion effect and the probability change promotion effect are not executed during the execution of the game effect.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko machine”) which is a kind of gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the front side of the pachinko machine 10 is schematically shown, and a vertical rectangular middle frame 12 for setting various game components is opened and closed on the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine And is detachably assembled. On the front side of the middle frame 12, a front frame 14 having a glass frame on which a protective glass for protecting the game board 13 disposed inside the machine is mounted and an upper ball tray 15 are opened and closed in a laterally open state. It is assembled as possible. On the front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13 a of the game board 13, a decoration lamp 16 that performs a light emission effect by light emission (lighting (flashing)) of a light emitter (LED, lamp, etc.) is provided. A speaker 17 that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect based on the sound output is arranged below the outer frame 11. A lower ball tray 18 and a launching device 19 are attached to the lower part of the middle frame 12. Then, when the player operates the launching device 19 to drive the launching device 19, the game ball in the upper ball tray 15 is launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13. In addition, in the center of the front side of the gaming machine installation facility (amusement island) 50 for installing the pachinko machine 10 in the amusement hall, various information such as the number of jackpots won by the pachinko machine 10 is displayed. Is installed.

  In FIG. 2, on the lower right side of the game area 13a of the game board 13, there are a first special figure display H0 as a 7-segment type display means and a second special figure display H1 as a 7-segment type display means. Is provided. In the game area 13a of the game board 13, a variable display H2 is provided as a liquid crystal display type display means. The game area 13a of the game board 13 is provided with a center accessory 20 as a decorative member. In the first special symbol display device H0 and the second special graphic display device H1, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 changes a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in a single column. Is displayed. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, the symbol variation game performed on the first special symbol display H0 is referred to as “first variation game (second symbol variation game)”, and the symbol variation game performed on the second special symbol display H1 is referred to as “second variation game”. ”Fluctuation game (first symbol fluctuation game)”. On the other hand, in the display effects related to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display decorations for each column. This decorative drawing is a design for production used for diversifying display production.

  Then, on the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1, the variation display of the symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special diagram is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed in a fixed stop state. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special diagram and the decoration drawing are confirmed and stopped simultaneously ). Similarly, in the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decoration drawing are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop state). ) On the other hand, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 do not play the symbol variation game in parallel. That is, only one of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 correspond to lottery results of a big hit lottery and a small lottery lottery from among a plurality of types (in this embodiment, 111 types) of special drawings. One special figure to be selected is selected, and the selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the symbol variation game. The 111 types of special charts are 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and 10 kinds of jackpot symbols (results of small hits display) that can recognize jackpots. )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. The small hit lottery is performed when the big hit lottery is not won. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed, the player is given a small hit game. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Numbers of types are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 is configured with a larger display area than the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is far more than the special figure. Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the winning combination of symbols is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is awarded with a bonus game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination ([123] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is given. The symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of the big hit determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the variable display H2 is configured such that the decorative drawing is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol variation game is started. When the symbol variation game starts (decoration of each column starts to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The decorative drawings are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are the same type and are stopped and displayed, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first stops the decorative drawing becomes the first stop display column, and the right column that stops the decorative drawing next is the first column The second stop display column is the third stop display column.

  The variable display H2 displays symbol combinations according to the display results of the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. More specifically, a special combination displayed on the first special graphic display H0 or the second special graphic display H1 and a combination of symbols displayed on the variable display H2 are associated with each other. When the process is completed, the symbol combination of the special figure and the decorative drawing is displayed correspondingly in a fixed stop state. For example, when the big hit symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 in a definite stop display, the variable big indicator H2 also has a big hit symbol such as [222] or [444] in principle. The combination is displayed with a fixed stop. In addition, when a shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, a combination of symbols such as [121] and [345] is determined also on the variable display H2. The stop is displayed. Further, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, the symbol combination of [123] suggesting the probability change is also displayed on the variable display H2. It has become so. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes. As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effects related to the first and second variable games (the symbol variable game in which the three symbol combinations are displayed in a variable manner to display a combination of symbols). Is to be done.

  In addition, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed on the lower right side of the game board 13 so as to sandwich the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). Is sometimes displayed). In this embodiment, there are three types of ordinary diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the right LED is lit, only the left LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the general map shown when both LEDs are turned on is called “0”, and the general map shown when only the right LED is turned on is called “1”. The usual figure shown by turning on only the LED is the ordinary figure “2”.

  The player can recognize a normal hit or deviation from a symbol combination (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “1” or “2”, the normal hit can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this normal hit becomes the display result of the normal hit. When the normal hit display result is displayed, the normal hit game is given to the player. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a first start winning opening 25 as a second starting means having a first starting entrance into which a game ball can always enter is disposed below the center accessory 20. Has been. A first start port sensor SE1 (shown in FIG. 3) that detects a game ball that has entered is provided behind the first start winning port 25.

For example, when two light-emitting means are lit, it is notified that two second variation games are on hold. Therefore, the player looks at the display content of the second hold indicator Rb and recognizes that the second variable game is currently being executed when the number of the second variable games held is reduced. be able to.

  An operation gate 23 is disposed on the left side of the center accessory 20. Behind the operation gate 23, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a winning (passing) game ball is provided. The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game when the winning of the game ball is detected (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the second start winning opening 27 is in an open state (whether a game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening 27). The second start winning opening 27 is always in a closed state in which the entrance is closed by the opening and closing blades 26, and in this closed state, a game ball cannot be won. On the other hand, in the second start winning opening 27, when a game is given per usual figure, the opening and closing blades 26 are opened to open the second starting winning opening 27 so that a game ball can be won. . That is, when a game is given per game, a game ball can be awarded to the second start prize opening 27 by opening the opening / closing blade 26, so that it becomes easier to win a game ball at the second start prize slot 27, The player can obtain a chance to easily acquire the starting condition and the prize ball of the second variable game. It should be noted that game balls can always be awarded to the first start winning opening 25 under the same conditions.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a normal symbol holding display M is disposed above the normal symbol display H10. The normal symbol hold indicator M has the number of stored start balls stored in the inside of the machine (RAM 30c) as the game balls pass through the actuating gate 23 and becomes the start hold balls (hereinafter referred to as “the normal figure start hold memory number”). (Or “ordinary symbol start reserved memory number”)), and the number of times of the regular symbol game being held is notified by the display content of the normal symbol hold indicator M.

  The usual figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23, and is subtracted by 1 (-1) when the usual figure game is started. Then, when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the normal map start reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). And the normal symbol hold | maintenance display M is comprised by the multiple (4 pieces) light emission means. When one light-emitting means is lit, it is informed that one normal game is pending.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function that gives a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1549 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (40/1549 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of games is reached. In the present embodiment, since the predetermined number of times is set to 10,000, the probability variation state is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result as to whether or not the opening / closing blade 26 is opened is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the ordinary game is higher than the normal probability. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state which fluctuates with probability is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes in an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. In other words, when a normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms or 2500 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1160 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so that when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the total opening time is longer than the state where the normal state is given, and the player operates favorably for the player. Yes.

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 9 balls) has entered. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 9 balls) of game balls has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, whether or not the entrance rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of the probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit is played. .

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-saving function that gives a reduced variation time (hereinafter referred to as “time-short”) state as a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state. Yes. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the entrance rate improvement state, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game, as described above.

  In other words, when a normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms or 2500 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1160 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is applied than when the normal state is applied. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

On the other hand, if the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state are not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is provided after the end of the big hit game, but the entrance rate improvement state is not provided.

  In addition, in the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the opening time is “0.004 (seconds)”, the round game time of one round game is “0.32 (seconds)”, and the ending time is “0.924 ( Sec) ”is set. In other words, the opening time and round game time in the 2R special probability variable jackpot game are the opening time of the jump-up jackpot game, and the opening of the first and second big prize opening devices 29 (the big prize opening door 28) in the first round. The same time as the time is set. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the interval time between each round in the 2R special probability variable big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”. As a result, in the 2R special probability variation big hit game, the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 opens from the first round until the big winning opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 closes in the second round. The time (“2.64 (seconds)”) is the same as the time until the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 finishes the second opening in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game. . Further, the opening mode of the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 in the 2R special probability variable big hit game is the same as the opening mode in the 2R normal probability variable big hit game.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. However, the round game time (0.32 (seconds)) of the 2R special probability variable big hit game is that the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game is equal to the upper limit number of balls entered. The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, so the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 (seconds)”. It becomes. In other words, in each round game of the 2R special probability variable big hit game, within 9 hours of round game time (0.32 (seconds)), the game ball of “9 balls”, which is the upper limit of the number of balls entered, is to be entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol H is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol h is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. Is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability change state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a non-probability change state is given). Hereinafter, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol H is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol h is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “15R normal non-probability big hit game”. In the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big prize opening device 29 in the round games of the 11th to 15th rounds is different from the opening mode of the 15R special probability variable big hit game. In the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to be opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) is set to the upper limit number without being given a probable state after the big hit game ends. As a result, a short time state is given.

  Further, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, “5.5 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “5.568 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In the round game of the 11th to 15th rounds in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the number of times of opening of the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to “1”, respectively, “0.32 (seconds)” is set. On the other hand, in the round game of the first round to the tenth round in the 15R normal non-probable big hit game, the number of times of opening the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to “1”, respectively. “25 (seconds)” is set as the time.

  As a result, in the 15R normal non-probable big hit game, the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened in the 11th round and the big winning opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed in the 15th round. The time ("11.6 (seconds)") is the same as the time until the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 finishes the fifth opening in the eleventh round of the step-up jackpot game. The Further, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big win mouth door 28 of the big win port device 29 of each round game is the same as the 15R normal probable big hit game. In addition, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big win mouth door 28 of the big win port device 29 of each round game, and the number of symbol variation games to which the improved winning rate is given, It is the same. In other words, the 15R normal non-probable change jackpot game and the 15R probability change secret jackpot game look exactly the same.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the interval time between rounds in the 15R normal non-probability large hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  It is given when a small hit symbol classified as symbol I is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a small hit symbol classified as symbol i is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. In the small hit game, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number (count number) of balls for one round game is set to “9”. Further, in one round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability change state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit game, and the short time state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery. For example, even after the small hit game ends, the time-short state is continuously given. In addition, in the small hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the improved winning rate is continuously given after the small hit game ends. In addition, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

  In the small hit game, “0 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “0.936 (second)” is set as the ending time. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.32 (seconds)” as the opening mode of the large winning opening device 29 (large winning opening door 28) of the round game in the small hit game. At the same time, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening. Thereby, the round game time of one round game in the small hit game is set to “2.64 (seconds)” composed of “0.32 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.32 (seconds)”. Will be. For this reason, the round game time of the small hit game is the second round after the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened in the first round of the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the 2R special probability variable big hit game. The time until the big prize opening device 29 is closed is the same time. Further, the round game time of the small hit game is the same as the time until the big prize opening device 29 finishes the second opening in the first round of the jump-up big hit game.

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, in the round game time (2.64 (seconds)) of the small hit game, the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. It is set to such a time. In other words, in a round game of small hit games, it is practical to launch and enter “9 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (2.64 (seconds)). It is impossible.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

  Further, an external terminal board 40 as an external output device is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The external terminal board 40 is a hall computer HC (shown in FIG. 3) as an external device installed in a game room management room or the like for managing the operating state of each pachinko machine installed in the game hall, or a pachinko machine. It is a board connected to the jackpot number notification device KH for displaying various information such as the number of jackpots won in the gaming machine 10.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, a count switch SE3, and the like are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a first special symbol display H0, a second special graphic indicator H1, a first reserved indicator Ra, a second reserved indicator Rb, and a normal symbol reserved indicator M. ing. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display H10 and a gate sensor SE4. Further, an external terminal board 40 is connected to the main control board 30, and a hall computer HC is connected to the external terminal board 40. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 30b. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to fluctuate (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production. In other words, the variation pattern can specify the effect content and the effect time (the change time) of the symbol change game from when the special figure starts to change until the special figure is confirmed and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the variation patterns include variation patterns P1 to P4 for the big hit effect selected when winning the big hit lottery, and the variation pattern for the small hit effect selected when winning the small hit lottery. P5, and variation patterns P6 to P14 for a loss effect selected in the case of a loss that has not been won in either the big win lottery or the small win lottery. In the variation pattern for the offending effect, a reach is formed, and after the reach effect is performed, the fluctuation pattern P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect that is finally set as a deviation, and the outlier effect that is a deviation without forming the reach. Variation patterns P9 to P14.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern for the big hit effect is selected when the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R positive variable secret big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game are determined. There are normal variation patterns P1 to P3. The variation pattern for the big hit effect includes a specific variation pattern P4 selected when the jump-up big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 2R special probability variable big hit game are determined. The specific variation pattern P4 selected when the jump-up jackpot game or the like is determined is the same as the effect content of the symbol variation game specified by the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect, and has the same variation time. Are associated patterns.

  Note that the jackpot effect performed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. .

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P14 will be described in detail.
When the first variation game is performed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 can respectively recognize the big hit symbol and the big hit symbol combination. Is finally displayed. In addition, when the second variation game is performed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect, the big special symbol that can recognize the big hit and the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 respectively. The jackpot symbol combination is finally displayed.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the specific variation pattern P4 selected when the jump-up jackpot game, 2R normal probability variation big hit game, and 2R special probability variation big hit game are determined, the first special figure display H0. And in the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the big hit symbol and the probability variation suggestion is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the specific variation pattern P4, the jackpot symbol and the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion are finally displayed on the second special symbol display H1 and the variable indicator H2, respectively. It is like that. For example, when the first variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern P4 selected when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is determined, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the probability variation by the decoration diagram is performed. At the same time as the suggested symbol combination is displayed, the first special symbol display H0 displays the big hit symbol based on the special symbol.

  In addition, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect selected when the small hit game is determined, the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2 respectively. The symbol combination of the small hit symbol and the probability variation suggestion is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect selected when the small hit game is determined, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 respectively. Finally, a small hit symbol and a symbol combination that suggests a probability change are finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the symbol combination suggesting the probability change by the decorative drawing is displayed at the same time. In the first special figure display H0, a small hit symbol according to the special figure is displayed.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach production, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 respectively have a dislocation symbol and a disparity symbol (outlier reach). The combination is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect, the second special figure display device H1 and the variable display device H2 each have a dislocation symbol and a disengagement (outlier reach). The symbol combination is finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect, after the reach effect is performed with the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the outliers according to the decorative drawing is displayed. At the same time, the first special figure display H0 displays the off-line symbols according to the special figure.

  Then, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9 to P14 for the offending effect, after the normal variation on the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, the combination of the deviation symbol and the deviation symbol respectively. Is finally displayed. When the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9 to P14 for the offending effect, the second special symbol display device H1 and the variable display device H2 each have the final symbol combination and the symbol combination of the dislocation after the normal variation. The pattern is displayed automatically. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9 to P14 for the offending effect, the normal variation is performed after the symbol variation game is started, and the symbol combination of the deviation based on the decoration is displayed on the variable display H2. At the same time, the first special figure display H0 is configured to display the off symbol according to the special figure.

  Note that, when a reach effect is performed in a symbol variation game, the longer the rendering time specified by the variation pattern is, the higher the jackpot reliability is set. That is, the main CPU 30a determines that the provision of the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R probability variable secret big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probable big hit game is longer than the variation pattern with a short presentation time. Even easier to determine long fluctuation patterns. On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative and the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a can easily determine a variation pattern that is shorter than a variation pattern with a long presentation time. Therefore, the main CPU 30a is more likely to determine a variation pattern having a longer variation time (in the order of P1 <P2 <P3 in this embodiment) among the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a is less likely to determine a fluctuation pattern having a longer fluctuation time among the normal fluctuation patterns P6 to P8 for outlier reach production (in this embodiment, the order of P6 <P7 <P8).

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1549 integers from 0 to 1548) that the random number for the hit determination can take. Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be larger than the number (four in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for winning determination is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games. That is, the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the same as the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27 belongs to. The jackpot determination value is also commonly used in the first variable game and the second variable game. That is, the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination value based on the first special figure start reserved memory number is the same as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination based on the second special figure start hold memory number.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery for determining whether or not a small hit is made, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1549 different integers from 0 to 1548) that can be taken by random numbers for hit determination. Note that the small hit determination value is the first variation game and the second variation game (by the value of the special symbol variation processing flag indicating which of the first variation game and the second variation game is performed). The number is different. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values when the first variable game is played (12 in this embodiment) is the number of small hit determination values when the second variable game is played (this execution) More than 6) in the form. Note that the random number for hit determination is used as it is in the big hit determination. Further, the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the same value is determined).

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. In each special figure, this special figure distribution random number is distributed by a predetermined number (one in this embodiment), and the main CPU 30a acquires it when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the special distribution random number. The special CPU distribution random number is set so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical value range (in the present embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) at predetermined intervals. The value is updated by adding 1 to the value (every 4 ms). Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated values in the RAM 30c as special figure distribution random number values, and sequentially updates the special figure distribution random number values by rewriting the already stored special figure distribution random number values. It is supposed to be. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random number is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27. Commonly used in two fluctuation games. That is, the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27. Is the same.

  Note that the jackpot symbol determined by which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed is one of the symbols A to D and F to H (in the case of the second variation game, the symbol Which group is classified into a to e and h). Specifically, [0] indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag indicating that either the first variation game or the second variation game is to be executed. If it is, it is classified into any group of symbols A to D and F to H. For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the first variation game, a symbol classified as symbol A as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 10/100, and a symbol classified as symbol B is displayed with a probability of 2/100. The symbol classified as symbol C is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and the symbol classified as symbol D is displayed with a probability of 18/100. In addition, a symbol classified as symbol F as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 10/100, a symbol classified as symbol G is displayed with a probability of 32/100, and a symbol classified as symbol H is 25/100. Will be displayed with the probability of.

  Further, when [1] indicating that the second variation game is performed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the special symbol variation processing flag is classified into any one of the symbols a to e and h. . For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the second variable game, a symbol classified as symbol a as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 40/100, and a symbol classified as symbol b is displayed with a probability of 7/100. The symbol classified as symbol c is displayed with a probability of 13/100, and the symbol classified as symbol d is displayed with a probability of 12/100. In addition, a symbol classified as symbol e as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and a symbol classified as symbol h is displayed with a probability of 25/100. On the other hand, at the time of determining the small hit (when the big hit determination is negative and the small hit determination is affirmative), a symbol is determined from among the ten types of small hits, and when the loss is determined (at the big hit determination and When the small hit determination is negative), a symbol is determined from one type of missing symbol. The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random values) that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the RAM 30c stores a small hit design random number used when determining the type of the special figure that becomes the small hit symbol when determining the small hit. In addition, the RAM 30c stores a random number for assigning a common figure used for determining a type of a common figure that will be a winning symbol when the ordinary game is won.

  The ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the normal hit, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the normal hit determination random number (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250). Note that the number of normal hit determination values varies depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the number of normal hit determination values when the entrance rate improvement state is assigned (this embodiment) 240) is set to be larger than the number of normal hit determination values in the normal state (30 in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a random number for normal hit determination used at the time of normal hit determination. In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination random number is acquired when the game ball passes through the operating gate 23.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The overall CPU 31a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the general CPU 31a inputs various control commands, the general CPU 31a executes various controls based on the general control program.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. A variable display H2 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). The ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the variable display H2. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. If the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S2). If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a proceeds to step 5.

  If the determination result in step S2 is affirmative (first special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the first special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (1), and the first special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S3). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the first special figure start pending storage. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number is set (step S4).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 27 (step S5). That is, in step S5, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start port sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. If the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S6). If the determination result of step S6 is negative (second special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of step S6 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the second special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (one addition), and the second special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S7). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the second special figure start pending storage. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number is set (step S8). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol (special drawing and decoration drawing) is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the big hit game (or the small hit game) is being executed (step S11). When the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main CPU 30a reads the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S12), and determines whether the second special figure start reserved memory number is greater than "0". (Step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure start hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the first special figure start hold memory number (step S14), and the first special figure start hold memory is stored. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative (when the first special figure start hold storage number = 0), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect has already been output (step S15). S16). If this determination result is negative (when no demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a outputs a demonstration designation command (step S17). Then, the special symbol start process ends. If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (if a demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative (if the first special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a sets the first symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c to the first variation. A value [0] indicating that the game is to be executed is set (step S18). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the first special figure start hold memory number (-1) (step S19), and is associated with the first special figure start hold memory number for a predetermined amount in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number, special figure distribution random number, and small hit symbol distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S20).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired hit determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549. When the probability change state (when the probability is high), the determination of the jackpot determination The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 40/1549.

  If the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (step S22). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the jackpot symbols based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S23). .

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H0 is classified into one of symbols A to D and F to H. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13 (a), when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “9” is Special jackpot symbols classified as special figure A and corresponding to special figure distributed random numbers “10” to “11” are classified as special figure B and correspond to special figure distributed random numbers “12” to “14”. The special bonus jackpot symbol is classified as special figure C. Further, when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbols of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “15” to “32” are classified into the special figure D, and the special figure distributed random number “ The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “33” to “42” is classified as special symbol F, and the special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to the special symbol distribution random numbers “43” to “74” is classified as the special symbol G. Is done. When displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “75” to “99” is classified into the special figure H. Thereby, in step S23, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol A as a jackpot symbol with a probability of 10/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol B with a probability of 2/100 and is classified as symbol C in step S23. The symbol to be classified as symbol D is determined with a probability of 18/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as the symbol F with a probability of 10/100 and is classified as the symbol G in step S23. The symbol that is classified into the symbol H is determined with a probability of 25/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S24). More specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, C, D, and H, the main CPU 30a determines from the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols B, F, and G, the main CPU 30a determines the specific variation pattern P4 for the big hit effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S25). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special figure display H0 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the first special symbol display H0 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S21 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed (step S26). In the present embodiment, the small hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the game is the first variation game (whether or not [0] is set in the special symbol variation processing flag). Yes. Specifically, in the case of the first floating game, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 12/1549, and the small hit determination in the case of the second variable game. Is higher than the probability (6/1549 in this embodiment) that the determination result is affirmative.

  When the determination result of step S26 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S27). Then, the main CPU 30a selects a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the small bonus symbols (symbols I and i) based on the acquired small hit symbol distribution random number. Determine (step S28). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P5 for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S29). After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S25 and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the display device H0 are controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S26 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S30). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the RAM 30c during the process of step S30 matches the reach determination value. The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery for determining whether or not to perform a reach effect, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 241 integers from 0 to 240) that can be taken by random numbers for reach determination. Yes. Further, the reach determination value is different depending on the gaming state, the first special figure holding memory number, and the special symbol variation processing flag value.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), When the number of one special figure hold memory is “0” “1”, the main CPU 30a affirmatively determines the reach determination with a probability of 34/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number. If “2”, the reach determination is affirmative with a probability of 17/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number. In the case of “3”, the reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 5/241. As described above, the greater the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the more first variable games that are held, the lower the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the faster the digestion of the first variation game held. On the other hand, the smaller the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the fewer the first variable games held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure holding storage number is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the fluctuation time so that the first fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a, regardless of the winning probability of the jackpot determination and the number of first special figure hold memory, Affirmative determination of reach determination with a probability of 10/241. As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that makes it easy for the second variation game to be performed is given, it is possible to suppress the execution of the useless reach reach effect and quickly execute the first variation game that is put on hold. it can.

  If the determination result in step S30 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S31). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect (step S32). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S30 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S33). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P9 to P14 for the offending effect (step S34). At this time, the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a differs depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number to “0” “1”. ”, A variation pattern P12 for a transition effect having a variation time of 12 seconds or a variation pattern P14 for a transition effect having a variation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the first special figure reservation storage number is “2”. A variation pattern P11 for a deviation effect having a variation time of 7 seconds is determined, and when the first special figure holding storage number is “3”, a variation pattern P10 for a variation effect having a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the first variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the more the first variation game being held can be executed more quickly. On the other hand, the smaller the first variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of first special figure holding storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P13 with a variation time of 15 seconds, a variation pattern P11 with a variation of 7 seconds, A variation pattern for the off-stage effect is determined from the variation pattern P9 of 3 seconds. The main CPU 30a selects the fluctuation pattern P13 of 15 seconds with a high probability when the value of the special symbol fluctuation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given. . As a result, when a state in which the second rate change game is likely to be performed is provided, the time required for winning the game ball at the second start winning opening 27 is increased by increasing the time for change. ing.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a changes the special symbol variation stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c as shown in FIG. A value [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the processing flag (step S35). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number (-1) (step S36), and is associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number, special figure distribution random number, and small hit symbol distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S37).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). (Step S38). In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549 in the normal state (when the probability is low), and the probability variation state (when the probability is high). The probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 40/1549.

  When the determination result of step S38 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit variation (step S39). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from among the big hit symbols based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number (step S40). .

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the second special symbol display H1 is classified into one of symbols a to e and h. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13B, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “15” to “27”, “59”, “60”, “ The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “75” to “99” is classified as special figure a. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “10” to “11”, “14”, “28” to “31” It is classified in FIG. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure big numbers corresponding to special figure distribution random numbers “6” to “9”, “43” to “47”, “55” to “58” The symbol is classified as special figure c. In addition, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “32” to “39”, “48” to “50”, “54” The jackpot symbol of the special figure classified in FIG. D and corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “51” to “53” is classified into the special figure e. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “5”, “12” to “13”, “40” to “42”, “61” to “74”. The special jackpot symbol corresponding to "" is classified as a special figure h.

  As a result, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol a as a jackpot symbol with a probability of 40/100. Similarly, in step S40, the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol b with a probability of 7/100, determines the symbol classified as symbol c with a probability of 13/100, and is classified as symbol d. Is determined with a probability of 12/100. Further, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol e with a probability of 3/100, and determines a symbol classified as the symbol h with a probability of 25/100. As described above, in the first variation game and the second variation game, the jackpot symbols to which the probability variation state is given are different types.

  After the processing of step S40, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines the variation patterns P1 to P4 for the jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S41). Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines that the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, c, d, e, and h (ie, 15R special probability variable big hit game, step-up big hit game, 15R normal probability variable big hit game. , 15R probability change secret big hit game, 15R normal non-probability change big hit game) is determined from the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol b (that is, when the jump-up jackpot game is determined), the main CPU 30a determines the specific variation pattern P4 for the jackpot effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the second variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S42). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S38 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made to determine a small hit (lottery lottery) (step S43). In the present embodiment, in the case of the second variation game, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 6/1549, and the small variation in the case of the first variation game. It is lower than the hit probability (12/1549).

  When the determination result of step S43 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S44). Then, the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from the small bonus symbols (symbol i) based on the acquired special hit symbol distribution random number. Determine (step S45). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P5 for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S46).

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays a second final symbol display so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of H1 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S43 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute a reach effect (step S47). Note that the reach determination value varies depending on the gaming state, the number of reserved memories, and the value of the special symbol variation processing flag. As shown in FIG. 14B, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), the main CPU 30a Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability of 241. On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is assigned, the main CPU 30a is assigned the probability variation state (the winning probability of the big hit determination is high probability). ), The reach determination is positively determined with a probability of 7/241. Further, the main CPU 30a, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the probability variation state is not given (the winning probability of the big hit determination is low probability) ), The reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 9/241.

  If the determination result in step S47 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S48). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect (step S49). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S47 is negative (when reach determination is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off-line symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S50). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P9 to P13 for the offending effect (step S51). At this time, the determined variation pattern for the offending effect differs depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a sets the second special figure reservation storage number to “0” “1”. ”, A variation pattern P12 for a transition effect having a variation time of 12 seconds or a variation pattern P14 for a transition effect having a variation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the second special figure reservation storage number is “2”. A variation pattern P11 for a deviation effect having a variation time of 7 seconds is determined, and when the second special figure holding storage number is “3”, a variation pattern P10 for a variation effect having a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the second variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the second variation game being held, the faster the second variation game being held can be executed. On the other hand, the smaller the second variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of second special figure holding storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P13 with a variation time of 15 seconds, a variation pattern P11 with a variation of 7 seconds, A variation pattern for the off-stage effect is determined from the variation pattern P9 of 3 seconds. The main CPU 30a selects the 3-second variation pattern P9 with a high probability when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given. . As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that facilitates the second variation game is given, the variation time is shortened and the second variation game that is put on hold is executed as soon as possible. Yes.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

  By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main CPU 30a performs the second variable game. Is executed preferentially. The second start winning opening 27 has the open / close blade 26 open to facilitate the winning of the game ball when the improved winning rate is given, and as a result, the improved winning rate is given. In the probability variation state or the short time state, the second variation game is easily executed continuously. And if the second variation game is a big hit, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that of the first variation game, but when the probability variation state is given, the 15 round big hit game is The ratio of whether or not it is granted is different. In other words, when the distribution of the special figure distribution random numbers is different and the second variable game is a big hit, all the 15 round big hit games are awarded. For this reason, a 15-round jackpot game that can be expected to acquire more game balls than a 2-round jackpot game is a jackpot game with game content advantageous to the player, and the second variable game is a jackpot game. In this case, the probability that the 15-round jackpot game is awarded is higher than that of the first variable game. As described above, in the probability variation state, the second variation game is likely to be continuously executed. When the second variation game is a big hit, 15 rounds of the big variation game are compared with the first variation game. The probability of being granted is high. From this, when the big hits continue in the probability variation state or the short time state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the prescribed round number of games becomes 15 rounds is high.

  Also, the main CPU 30a compares the hit determination stored as the second start hold ball as compared with the case where the determination is made based on the hit determination random number stored as the first start hold ball (in the case of the first variation game). When the determination is based on the random number for use (in the case of the second variable game), the probability of affirming the small hit determination is made lower. For this reason, in the situation where the state of increasing the entrance rate is given and the second variable game is likely to be played, the possibility that a small hit game that is not expected to be profitable for the player is reduced. In other words, in the state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the interest of the game can be improved without causing the player to feel stress. Also, after the symbol variation game is executed, if the grand prize winning door 28 is opened for 0.32 seconds, the player will be given a jump-up jackpot after the second variation game rather than the first variation game. It can be expected that a game has been granted.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the big hit (when [1] is set in the big hit flag), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol And a predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a). The control contents executed by the main CPU 30a are as follows: 15R special probability variable jackpot game, jump up jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, 2R normal probability variable jackpot game, 2R special probability variable jackpot game And 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game will be described for each jackpot game.

  First, the control when the 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded will be described. When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (5.5 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (5.568 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, when the 15R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to “1” and indicates that the entry rate improvement state is imparted. Set the operation flag to “1”. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted.

  Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times as the probability variation state giving number indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the probability variation state is given. Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times as the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is given. The number of times that the entrance rate improvement state is applied and the number of times that the probability variation state is imparted are decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed. ) In addition, each flag, the probability variation state giving frequency, and the operation frequency are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Further, each flag, the probability variation state grant count and the actuation count are cleared ("0" is set) even when a big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, during the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the main CPU 30a is arranged below the first special figure display H0 and controls to turn on the 15R display lamp L1 indicating that the 15 round big hit game is given ( (See FIG. 2). Further, the main CPU 30a sends a big hit game state signal for notifying that a big hit game is given via the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 15R special probability variable big hit game to the end of the ending effect. Output to an external device.

Next, control when a jump-up jackpot game is awarded will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and at the same time the round game time T4 (max 29. 92 seconds). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a performs the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the first round of each of the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, and the 15R normal non-probability jackpot game.

At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 (seconds)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the second big prize opening door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.32 (seconds)) has elapsed, the second big winning prize is received. In order to end the opening of the door 28, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.936 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the small hit game. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the small hit flag to [0]. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a maintains the current state of both the probability variation flag and the operation flag (does not set a new value).

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, in the first round of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the small hit game and the big winning door A state is created in which the 28 open modes are the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the first release time T1 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second release time. The winning opening door 28 is opened twice by multiplying T1 (0.32 seconds) = 2.64 (seconds). Further, as shown in FIG. 15B, in the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the first round game time T11 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) +2 The grand prize opening door 28 is opened twice with the round game time T11 (0.32 seconds) = 2.64 (seconds) of the round. Further, as shown in FIG. 15C, in the small hit game, the first opening time T22 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second opening time T22 (0.32 seconds). ) = Round game time T21 (2.64 seconds) is multiplied and the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. In other words, in the jump-up jackpot game, the time from the first opening of the first prize opening door 28 to the end of the second round, the 2R special probability variable jackpot game, the 2R normal probability variable jackpot game, The time from the start of the first opening of the big winning door 28 in the small hit game to the end of the second opening is set to “2.64 (seconds)”. That is, in the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened in the same opening mode for “2.64 (seconds)”. become.

  From the above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, even if the open state of the big prize opening door 28 is visually recognized, it is not possible to distinguish between the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game. . Also, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the jump-up big hit game, after the start of the first round and until the third release is performed, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the small bonus game It cannot be distinguished from winning games. As a result, even if the player opens the prize winning door 28 twice in a short time (0.32 seconds), whether the game is a jump-up jackpot game or a probability-changing two-round jackpot game from the open mode. Or whether it is a small hit game.

  In addition, in the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, the step-up jackpot game, the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, and the 15R normal non-probability jackpot game, the first prize winning door 28 for the first to tenth rounds. The opening mode is the same. Therefore, from the opening state of the big winning door 28 up to the 1st to 10th rounds, 15R special probability variation jackpot game, 15R probability variation secret jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R normal probability variation jackpot game, 15R normal non-probability variation It is not possible to recognize which jackpot game is a jackpot game.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16, 11 of the eleventh round winning door 28 in the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game, the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, and the 15R normal non-probability variable hit game 11 The opening mode of the grand prize winning door 28 up to the 15th round is the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, in the eleventh round of the step-up jackpot game, the grand opening door with an opening mode T6 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds). 28 is opened and closed 5 times. In addition, as shown in FIG. 16B, in the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game, the release time T8 (0. 32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds). In other words, in the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the release time T8 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) from the 11th round onwards. In this manner, the special winning opening door 28 is opened and closed five times. In other words, the 11th round big win game 28 opening mode of the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game up to the 11th to the 15th round The opening mode of the winning opening door 28 is the same. Therefore, from the eleventh round until the grand prize winning door 28 is opened and closed five times, any of the big hit games of the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game, the step-up big hit game, and the 15R normal probability variable big hit game from the open mode. I can't recognize it.

Next, the normal symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the operation gate 23 (step S61). That is, in step S61, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a fourth detection signal output when the gate sensor SE4 detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of step S61 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process. If the determination result of step S61 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of usual charts start pending storage stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit of 4 (step S62). If the determination result of step S62 is negative (the number of ordinary charts start hold storage = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

  If the determination result in step S62 is affirmative (the number of reserved general-purpose drawings on hold <4), the main CPU 30a increments the number of reserved general-purpose charts on hold by 1 (1), and rewrites the number of reserved general-purpose charts on-hold (step S63). . Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the random number for ordinary hit determination and the value of the random number for normal distribution from the RAM 30c, and obtains the value in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number of reserved memory for normal start. (Step S64). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main CPU 30a is configured to execute a normal symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal chart is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the normal hit game is being played (step S71). When the determination result of step S71 is affirmative (when the normal game is being played or the normal winning game is being played), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S71 is negative (when the normal game is not being played and the normal hit game is not being played), the main CPU 30a reads the normal start reservation memory number (step S72), and the normal start reservation memory number. Is greater than “0” (step S73).

  When the determination result of step S73 is negative (when the normal figure start hold storage number = 0), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S73 is affirmative (when the normal figure start hold memory number> 0), the main CPU 30a subtracts “-1” from the number of the general figure start hold memory number (−1) (step S74). Then, the value of the random number for determining the normal hit stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in correspondence with the number of reserved normal start is stored (step S75).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination (step S76). In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given. In the normal state (when the entrance rate improvement state is not given), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 30/251, and the entrance rate improvement state is When it is given, the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is positive (normal hit probability) is 240/251.

  When the determination result of step S76 is affirmative (in the case of normal hit), the main CPU 30a sets the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the normal symbol display H10 as the normal symbol hit symbol [1] [2]. (Step S77). In step S77, the main CPU 30a determines a winning symbol [2] (second ordinary symbol) that is advantageous to the player based on the acquired value of the random number assigned to the base symbol at a probability of 1/11, and hits the winning symbol. The winning symbol [1] (first normal symbol) which is more disadvantageous than [2] is determined with a probability of 10/11. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S76 is negative (in the case of a loss), the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol displayed as a fixed stop on the normal symbol display H10 as the normal symbol error symbol [0] ( Step S78).

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a general variation pattern from a plurality of types of general variation patterns (step S79). The normal variation pattern is a normal variation pattern that is determined in the normal state when the entrance rate improvement state is not applied, and an entrance that is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is applied It is categorized into the usual figure fluctuation pattern for the rate improvement state. Furthermore, the normal pattern change pattern for the normal state in the present embodiment is provided with two types of patterns having different change times. Specifically, the first normal pattern fluctuation pattern (second normal symbol fluctuation pattern) having a long fluctuation time of 10000 ms and the second normal figure fluctuation pattern (first of 5000 ms shorter than the fluctuation time of the first normal figure fluctuation pattern). 1 normal symbol variation pattern) is provided. On the other hand, there is only one type of the common map variation pattern for the entrance rate improvement state in the present embodiment, and the variation time is longer than the variation time of either the first general map variation pattern or the second general map variation pattern. It is a 3rd common figure fluctuation pattern in which short time (1000 ms) is set.

  In step S79, the main CPU 30a determines the third general-purpose variation pattern when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when the entrance rate improvement state is not assigned, Either the normal map variation pattern or the second general map variation pattern is determined. The main CPU 30a determines the first common map variation pattern with a probability of 91/101 and determines the second general map variation pattern with a probability of 10/101 when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. It is like that.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the normal variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the general game (step S80). Specifically, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 so that the normal symbol starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the usual variation game. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display H10 to display the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time set in the determined common symbol variation pattern. Control display content.

When determining the normal hit, the main CPU 30a executes the control related to the normal hit game after the normal game based on the determined normal fluctuation pattern.
The main CPU 30a opens the open / close blades 26 three times when the usual game is finished, and when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and opens until 1160 ms elapses after opening each time. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so as to maintain the state.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 30a opens the open / close blade 26 once when the normal game is finished, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the normal symbol is [1]. The normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the release. Further, the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 once when the entrance game rate improvement state is not given when the usual game is finished and the winning symbol by the normal symbol is [2]. The normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 2500 ms elapses after the release.

  Note that the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered even before the specified time has elapsed since the main CPU 30a opened. Similarly, even if the main CPU 30a has not been opened a predetermined number of times, the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) has entered.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the normal symbol display device H10 serves as a normal symbol display means for displaying a general game. In addition, the operation gate 23 serves as third starting means for giving a starting condition for the usual game. In addition, the RAM 30c of the main control board 30 serves as a normal symbol hold storage means for storing the number of normal figure start hold memories. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a normal symbol control means for executing the usual game. The main CPU 30a serves as an opening control means for opening the opening / closing blade 26 (opening / closing mechanism). Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a big hit determining means for determining a big hit. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a probability change determination means for determining whether or not to give a probability variation state. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a big hit game giving means for giving a big hit game. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as special symbol determining means for determining the type of special symbol. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a variation pattern determining unit that determines a variation pattern. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a probability change giving means for giving a probability variation state.

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a executes various processes according to the input and outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing.

  For example, the overall CPU 31a sets the production mode based on various control commands and the number of symbol variation games. In the effect mode, a normal mode that is set when the entrance rate improvement state and the probability change state are not given, and a probability change state that is set when the entrance rate improvement state is not given are assigned. There is usually a probabilistic hidden mode that suggests that there is a possibility. Further, the production mode is set when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the special probability change concealment mode that suggests that there is a possibility that the probability change state is given, the entrance rate improvement state, and There is a probability variation mode that is set when the probability variation state is imparted and indicates that the probability variation state is imparted.

  Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the general CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34. Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a displays the variable display H2 based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The combination of symbols depending on the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped is determined. Further, when the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the general CPU 31a determines the specific contents of the big hit game based on the type of the big hit game corresponding to the big hit symbol, and assigns each control board 32-34 to each control board 32-34. The specific contents of the determined jackpot game are instructed. Further, when the opening CPU, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to each of the control boards 32-34.

Hereinafter, these detailed processes will be described.
First, a process for determining a symbol combination (hereinafter simply referred to as a confirmed symbol) based on a decorative symbol that is to be confirmed and stopped on the variable display H2 at the end of the symbol variation game will be described. The overall CPU 31a according to the present embodiment displays a decorative symbol that is displayed on the variable display H2 at the end of the symbol variation game based on the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command, the set effect mode, and the variation pattern. The combination is decided.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, the general CPU 31a has a case where the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a special symbol A, a (a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 15R special probability variable big hit game). When the set production mode is other than the probability change mode (in the case of any one of the normal mode, the normal probability change concealment mode, and the special probability change concealment mode), the 15R special probability change big hit game is given as the confirmed symbol. It suggests that there is a possibility that a jackpot symbol combination with a certain symbol that can be recognized or a probability variation state is given and a jackpot symbol combination or a probability variation state with a probability variation symbol that can recognize a jackpot One of the jackpot symbol combinations based on the normal symbols that can recognize the jackpot is determined.

  In this embodiment, the jackpot symbol combination based on a specific symbol that can be recognized that the 15R special probability variable jackpot game is awarded is [777]. The jackpot symbol combinations based on the probability variation symbols that can recognize the jackpot are [333] and [555]. The combination of jackpot symbols with a normal symbol that suggests that there is a possibility that a probable variation state may be given and can recognize the jackpot is one of [111] [222] [444] [666] [888]. Yes. On the other hand, if the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is the special symbol A, a and the set production mode is the probability variation mode, the general CPU 31a determines the jackpot by the specific symbol as the final symbol. The jackpot symbol combination based on the symbol combination or probability variation symbol is determined.

  Further, the general CPU 31a is a case where the designated final stop symbol is symbol C, c (a jackpot symbol corresponding to a step-up jackpot game) or symbol D, d (a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game). When the set production mode is other than the probability variation mode, the jackpot symbol combination based on the probability variation symbol or the jackpot symbol combination based on the normal symbol is determined as the confirmed symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol C, c or symbol D, d, and the set production mode is the probability variation mode, the overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol based on the probability variation symbol as the confirmed symbol. Determine the combination.

  Further, the general CPU 31a determines the final symbol when the designated final stop symbol is symbol e (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game) or symbol H, h (a jackpot symbol corresponding to 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game). As described above, the symbol combination based on the normal symbol is determined. Further, the general CPU 31a determines that the designated final stop symbol is symbol B, b (a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jump-up jackpot game), symbol F (a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 2R special probability variable jackpot game), or a symbol G (2R normal) In the case of jackpot symbol corresponding to probability variation jackpot game), the symbol combination suggesting probability variation is determined as the confirmed symbol. When the designated final stop symbol is symbol I or i (small hit symbol), the general CPU 31a determines the same as in the case of the jump-up big hit game, 2R special probability variable big hit game, and 2R normal probability variable big hit game. As a symbol, a symbol combination suggesting a probability change is determined. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol and a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the outlier reach as the final symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and a variation pattern for a loss effect is designated, the overall CPU 31a determines a symbol combination as a definite symbol.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the special drawings A, C, D, H, a, c, d, e, and h are designated as the final stop symbols, the re-lottery effect is executed during the symbol variation game that is a big hit. It is like that. The re-lottery effect is a combination of jackpot symbols that temporarily stop display (temporary stop) a temporary jackpot symbol combination (hereinafter simply referred to as a temporary symbol) in a symbol variation game (final stop). This is an effect for deriving a fixed symbol). In the present embodiment, the re-lottery effect causes each symbol row constituting the temporary symbol to change again, changes in a state in which all the rows are aligned with the same symbol (a state of all eyes), and derives a fixed symbol by stopping the change. Done in a manner. In the re-lottery effect, the same jackpot symbol as before the change or a different jackpot symbol is derived. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is symbol B, b, symbol F, or symbol G, the overall CPU 31a prevents the re-lottery effect and does not determine the temporary symbol.

  For this reason, the general CPU 31a determines the specific content and provisional design of the re-lottery effect, the determined confirmed design, the set production mode, and the designated final stop design (specified by the special design designation command). Based on a special design). This will be described in detail below.

  When the overall CPU 31a determines a jackpot symbol combination based on a specific symbol as a confirmed symbol, a jackpot symbol combination based on a specific symbol, a jackpot symbol combination based on a probability variable symbol, or a jackpot symbol combination based on a normal symbol as a temporary symbol Decide either. In addition, when the overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination based on the probability variation symbol as the determined symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines either the jackpot symbol combination based on the probability variation symbol or the jackpot symbol combination based on the normal symbol as the temporary symbol. Further, when the general CPU 31a determines a normal jackpot symbol combination as the confirmed symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines the same symbol combination as the confirmed symbol as a temporary symbol.

  In addition, the overall CPU 31a determines a temporary symbol and determines the content of the re-lottery effect. At that time, the general CPU 31a is promoted when the normal mode or the normal probability variable concealment mode is set (when the jackpot symbol combination by the probability variation symbol or the specific symbol is derived from the normal jackpot symbol combination, and When a jackpot symbol combination with a specific symbol is derived from a jackpot symbol combination with a probable variation symbol), after the temporary symbol is lit, the first promotion pattern with the effect of deriving the definite symbol will be redrawn Determine as content.

  On the other hand, in the case where the special probability variable concealment mode is set, the general CPU 31a, when promoting, causes the background image of the variable display H2 to emit white light and then derives a definite symbol as the content of the production. 2 The promotion pattern is determined as the contents of the re-lottery effect. Further, when the central CPU 31a is promoted when the probability variation mode is set (when the symbol combination based on the specific symbol is derived from the symbol combination based on the probability variation symbol), after displaying a predetermined character Then, the third promotion pattern whose effect content is to derive a definite symbol is determined as the effect content of the re-lottery effect. Then, in the case where promotion is not performed, the overall CPU 31a variably displays the temporary symbol and then determines the non-promotion pattern for deriving the final symbol as the effect of the re-lottering effect.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs to the display control board 32 a temporary symbol designation command for designating the determined temporary symbol and a decorative symbol designation command for designating the determined confirmed symbol. Further, the overall CPU 31a outputs a re-lottery effect designation command for designating the content of the determined re-lottery effect together with the input variation pattern designation command. Further, when the main CPU 30a inputs an all symbols stop command, the main CPU 30a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

Next, the processing for determining the effect content of the big hit game will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 20, the general CPU 31a starts the first round game when the jackpot symbol A, a is designated by the final stop symbol, and when the symbol combination of the special symbol by the specific symbol is determined as the final symbol. A jackpot pattern Pa1 that specifies a game effect indicating that a 15R special probability variable jackpot game is awarded is determined as the effect content.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot pattern Pa2 as the production content when the jackpot symbol A, a is designated by the final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol combination by the probability variation symbol is determined as the confirmed symbol. As shown in FIG. 21, the jackpot pattern Pa2 indicates whether or not a chance to obtain a large number of prize balls in a round game after the 12th round is obtained in any of the round games of the 1st to 10th rounds (that is, This is a pattern indicating that a big bonus promotion effect suggesting whether or not the game time of a round game is 25 seconds is performed and a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, when the jackpot symbol A, a is designated by the final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol combination based on the normal symbol is determined as the final symbol, the general CPU 31a sets a mode other than the normal probability variable concealment mode as the effect mode. In this case, the big hit pattern Pa3 is determined with a probability of 51/101, and the big hit pattern Pa4 is determined with a probability of 50/101. The jackpot pattern Pa3 is subjected to a probability change promotion suggesting effect indicating whether or not a probability variation state is imparted in each round game of the fourth to eighth rounds, and a probability variation state is imparted in the ninth round game. This is a pattern indicating that a probability change notification effect that notifies whether or not a probability change state is given is executed. The jackpot pattern Pa4 has a probability change promotion suggestion effect that suggests whether or not a probability change state is given in the fourth to eighth round games, and a probability change notification effect in the tenth round game. It is a pattern that is executed and shown to have a probability variation state.

  Similarly, when the jackpot symbol A, a is designated by the final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol combination by the normal symbol is determined as the final symbol, the general CPU 31a sets the normal probability variable concealment mode as the effect mode. In this case, the big hit pattern Pa3 is determined with a probability of 61/101, and the big hit pattern Pa4 is determined with a probability of 40/101.

  Further, when the big hit symbol B, b is designated by the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines the big hit pattern Pb1 as the production content. The jackpot pattern Pb1 suggests a possibility that a jackpot game in which a probability change state is given until the jackpot door 28 is opened twice in the round game of the first round is given. This is a pattern indicating that a jump-up jackpot game has been given since the winning opening door 28 was opened.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot pattern Pc1 as the effect content when the jackpot symbol C, c is designated by the final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol combination by the probability variation symbol is determined as the confirmed symbol. Whether or not the big hit pattern Pc1 has a chance to win a large number of prize balls in round games after the 12th round in the 11th round game (that is, whether the game time of the round game is 25 seconds) This is a pattern indicating that a big bonus promotion effect suggesting “No” is performed and a step-up jackpot game is awarded. In addition, when the big hit symbol C, c is designated by the final stop symbol, and the big hit symbol combination by the normal symbol is determined as the final symbol, the general CPU 31a determines the big hit pattern Pc2 as the production content. In the jackpot pattern Pc2, a probability change promotion suggesting effect is performed to indicate whether or not a probability change state is given in each round game of the fourth to eighth rounds, and a probability change notification effect is executed in the round game of the eleventh round. And a pattern indicating that the probability variation state is given.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot pattern Pd1 as the production content when the jackpot symbol D, d is designated by the final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol combination by the probability variation symbol is determined as the confirmed symbol. Whether or not the jackpot pattern Pd1 has a chance to win a large number of prize balls in round games after the 12th round in the round game of the 11th round (that is, the game time of the round game is 25 seconds) This is a pattern indicating that a big bonus promotion effect suggesting whether or not a step up jackpot game is not given.

  In addition, when the big hit symbol D, d is specified by the final stop symbol, and the big hit symbol combination by the normal symbol is determined as the final symbol, the general CPU 31a determines the normal mode or the special probability variable concealment mode as the production mode. Is set, the big hit pattern Pd2 is determined with a probability of 80/101, and the big hit pattern Pd3 is determined with a probability of 21/101. The jackpot pattern Pd2 has a probability change promotion suggestion effect indicating whether or not a probability change state is given in each round game of the fourth to eighth rounds, and a probability change notification effect in the round game of the eleventh round. It is a pattern that is executed and shown to have a probability variation state. In the big hit pattern Pd3, a probability change promotion suggestion effect is performed that suggests whether or not a probability change state is given in each round game of the fourth to eighth rounds, and a probability change notification effect is executed in the round game of the eleventh round. This is a pattern that suggests that there is a possibility that the probability variation state is imparted (the probability variation state may not be imparted).

  Further, the general CPU 31a sets the normal probability variable concealment mode as the effect mode when the jackpot symbol D, d is designated by the final stop symbol and when the symbol combination of the normal symbol by the normal symbol is determined as the final symbol. The jackpot pattern Pd2 is determined with a probability of 90/101, and the jackpot pattern Pd3 is determined with a probability of 11/101. Then, the central CPU 31a sets the probability variation mode as the effect mode when the jackpot symbol D, d is designated by the final stop symbol and when the symbol combination of the normal symbol based on the normal symbol is determined as the confirmed symbol. When hitting, the jackpot pattern Pd2 is determined with a probability of 62/101, and the jackpot pattern Pd3 is determined with a probability of 39/101.

  Further, when the big hit symbol e, H, h is designated by the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines the big hit pattern Pe1 as the production content. The jackpot pattern Pe1 has a probability change promotion suggestion effect indicating whether or not a probability change state is given in each round game of the fourth to eighth rounds, and a probability change notification effect is executed in the round game of the eleventh round. This is a pattern that suggests that there is a possibility that the probability variation state is imparted (the probability variation state may not be imparted).

  In addition, when the jackpot symbol F is designated by the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot pattern Pf1 in which a game effect suggesting the possibility that a jackpot game to which a probability variation state is given is given is performed as the effect content. . In addition, when the big hit symbol G is designated by the final stop symbol, the overall CPU 31a determines the big hit pattern Pg1 in which a game effect is suggested that suggests a possibility that a big hit game to which a probability variation state is given will be given. .

  In this embodiment, when one of the big hit patterns Pa2, Pc1, Pd1 is determined, one story (episode effect) is displayed over a plurality of round games from 4 to 9 rounds. Has been. For this reason, the overall CPU 31a determines the specific contents of episode effects over a plurality of round games from 4 to 9 rounds based on the big hit patterns Pa2, Pc1, and Pd1.

  More specifically, when the big hit pattern Pa2 is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines an episode pattern for specifying the specific content of the episode effect from the episode patterns EP1 to EP10 with reference to the episode table Tb1. To do. As shown in FIG. 22A, episode selection random numbers are assigned to the episode patterns EP1 to EP10 constituting the episode table Tb1.

  In the episode table Tb1 of the present embodiment, episode selection random numbers having the same value are assigned to the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2. The episode effect specified by the episode pattern EP1 is continuous with the episode effect specified by the episode pattern EP2, and can be recognized as one story when continuously displayed. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP2 if the number of executions of the jackpot game after determining the episode pattern EP1 is five times (including the jackpot game in which the episode pattern EP1 is determined) or less. It is like that.

  Note that a first jackpot execution count counter indicating the number of executions of the jackpot game since the episode pattern EP1 is determined is stored in the RAM 31c. The overall CPU 31a sets “1” to the first jackpot execution count counter at the end of the jackpot game in which the episode pattern EP1 is determined, and thereafter, every time the jackpot game ends, the value of the first jackpot execution count counter becomes 1. Add and update. The general CPU 31a sets “0” when the value of the first big hit execution number counter is “5” or more, and maintains “0” until the episode pattern EP1 is determined again. Yes.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP1 when the random number for selecting episodes distributed to the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 is acquired when the value of the first big hit execution number counter is “0”. Further, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP2 when acquiring the episode selection random numbers distributed to the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 when the value of the first big hit execution number counter is “1” to “5”. Thereby, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP2 if the number of executions of the big hit game after determining the episode pattern EP1 is 5 or less.

  Similarly, in the episode table Tb1, the same number of episode selection random numbers are assigned to the episode pattern EP3 and the episode pattern EP4. The episode effect specified by the episode pattern EP3 is continuous with the episode effect specified by the episode pattern EP4, and can be recognized as one story when continuously displayed. The overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP4 if the number of executions of the big hit game after determining the episode pattern EP3 is 5 or less.

  A second big hit execution number counter indicating the number of executions of the big hit game since the episode pattern EP3 is determined is stored in the RAM 31c. The overall CPU 31a sets “1” in the second jackpot execution count counter at the end of the jackpot game in which the episode pattern EP3 is determined, and thereafter, every time the jackpot game is executed, the value of the second jackpot execution count counter 1 is added and updated. The general CPU 31a sets “0” when the value of the second big hit execution number counter is “5” or more, and maintains “0” until the episode pattern EP3 is determined again. Yes.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP3 when the random number for selection of episodes distributed to the episode pattern EP3 and the episode pattern EP4 is acquired when the value of the second big hit execution number counter is “0”. Further, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP4 when acquiring the episode selection random numbers distributed to the episode pattern EP3 and the episode pattern EP4 when the value of the second jackpot execution number counter is “1” to “5”. Thereby, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP4 if the number of executions of the big hit game after determining the episode pattern EP3 is 5 times or less.

  Further, when the big hit pattern Pc1 is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines an episode pattern for specifying the specific content of the episode effect from the episode patterns EP1 to EP10 with reference to the episode table Tb2. As shown in FIG. 22B, episode selection random numbers for assigning episodes are assigned to the episode patterns EP1 to EP10 constituting the episode table Tb2, as in the case of the episode table Tb1 described above. In the episode table Tb2 of the present embodiment, episode selection random numbers having the same value are assigned to the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2. In addition, in the episode table Tb2 of the present embodiment, episode selection random numbers having the same value are also distributed to the episode pattern EP3 and the episode pattern EP4. In the episode table Tb2, the episode selection random numbers are changed to the episode patterns EP5 to RP10 so that the episode patterns EP5 to RP10 for identifying the episode effects completed during one big hit game are easier to determine than the episode table Tb1. Many are distributed.

  Similarly, when the big hit pattern Pd1 is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines an episode pattern for specifying the specific content of the episode effect from the episode patterns EP5 to EP10 with reference to the episode table Tb3. . As shown in FIG. 22C, episode selection random numbers are assigned to the episode patterns EP5 to EP10 constituting the episode table Tb3. In the episode table Tb3, continuous episode patterns EP1 to EP4 are not determined in a plurality of jackpot games.

  When determining the episode patterns EP1 to EP10, the overall CPU 31a outputs an episode pattern designation command for designating the episode patterns EP1 to EP10. By the above, episode pattern EP1-EP10 becomes a big hit effect pattern, episode pattern EP1-EP4 becomes a continuous big hit effect pattern, and episode pattern EP5-EP10 becomes a complete big hit effect pattern.

  Further, when the big hit pattern Pa2 is determined, the general CPU 31a determines whether the big bonus promotion effect is executed in any one of the round games from the first to the tenth rounds. The overall CPU 31a outputs a control command instructing execution of the big bonus promotion effect in the determined round game.

  In addition, when any of the big hit patterns Pa3, Pa4, Pc2, Pd2, Pd3, Pe1 is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines the specific performance contents of the probability change promotion suggestion performed in the fourth to eighth rounds. It has become. The probability change promotion suggestion effect is an effect in which a probability change suggestion character appears in each round game of the fourth to eighth rounds, and as the number of occurrences of the predetermined probability change suggestion character KA increases, the probability change state is more likely to be given. It is a production that suggests that. In addition, when the predetermined probability change suggesting character KA appears in all the round games of the fourth to eighth rounds, it indicates that the probability change state is surely given. Similarly, even when a predetermined special probability change suggesting character KB appears in any of the 4th to 8th round games, the probability change state is surely given.

  The process for determining the specific content of the probable promotion suggestive effect will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. First, the overall CPU 31a refers to the appearance pattern table Tc0 based on the determined jackpot pattern, and determines a table pattern for specifying the character table of each round game from the plurality of table patterns TP1 to TP16. The character table is a table that is referred to in order to determine the probability change suggesting characters KA to KG. In the present embodiment, three character tables Tk1 to Tk3 are provided. Each table pattern TP1 to TP16 is associated with one of character tables Tk1 to Tk3 for each round game of 4 to 8 rounds.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 23, in the table pattern TP1, the character table Tk1 is associated with all the round games of 4 to 8 rounds. Therefore, when the table pattern TP1 is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines the character table Tk1 in all round games of 4 to 8 rounds. In the table pattern TP4, the character table Tk1 is related to the round games of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth rounds, and the character table Tk2 is related to the round game of the sixth round. Therefore, when the table pattern TP4 is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines the character table Tk1 in the round games of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth rounds, and determines the character table Tk2 in the sixth round game. Become.

  Similarly, in the table pattern TP10, the character table Tk3 is associated with the fourth round game, the character table Tk1 is associated with the fifth to seventh round games, and the eighth round A character table Tk1 is associated with the game. Therefore, when the table pattern TP10 is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines the character table Tk3 for the fourth round game, determines the character table Tk1 for the fifth to seventh round games, and the eighth round The character table Tk2 is determined for the game.

  Each table pattern is assigned with table-determining random numbers consisting of 101 integers from “0” to “100”. The table determination random numbers assigned to the respective table patterns are different for each big hit pattern Pa3, Pa4, Pc2, Pd2, Pd3, Pe1. For this reason, the probability that each table pattern is determined differs depending on the big hit patterns Pa3, Pa4, Pc2, Pd2, Pd3, Pe1.

  As shown in FIG. 24A, the character table Tk1 is associated with only the probability change suggesting character KA, and the general CPU 31a always uses the probability change suggesting character KA when referring to the character table Tk1. It comes to decide.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24B, the character table Tk2 is associated with a plurality of probability change suggesting characters KA to KG, and each probability change suggesting character includes all 101 from “0” to “100”. Character decision random numbers consisting of street integers are distributed. Note that the character determination random number assigned to each probability change suggesting character is different for each big hit pattern Pa3, Pa4, Pc2, Pd2, Pd3, Pe1. For this reason, when the big hit patterns Pa3, Pa4, Pc2, Pd2, Pd3, and Pe1 are different, the probability that each probability variation suggesting character is determined is different. When the determined big hit pattern is the big hit pattern Pd3, Pe1, the value of the random number for character determination is not distributed to the probability variation suggesting character KA and the probability variation suggesting character KB. This is because, when the probability variation suggesting character KA and the probability variation suggesting character KB are displayed, it may be indicated that the probability variation state is given. In particular, when the jackpot pattern Pe1 that is determined even when the probability variation state is not given is determined, the result is inconsistent with the result, so the probability variation suggestion character KA and the probability variation suggestion character KB are not determined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24C, the character table Tk3 is associated with a plurality of probability change suggesting characters KA to KG, and each probability change suggesting character includes all 101 from “0” to “100”. Random values for character determination consisting of street integers are distributed. Note that the character determination random number assigned to each probability change suggesting character is different for each big hit pattern Pa3, Pa4, Pc2, Pd2, Pd3, Pe1. For this reason, when the big hit patterns Pa3, Pa4, Pc2, Pd2, Pd3, and Pe1 are different, the probability that each probability variation suggesting character is determined is different. When the big hit patterns Pd3 and Pe1 are determined, the character determination random number value is not assigned to the probability variation suggesting character KA and the probability variation suggesting character KB. This is because, when the probability variation suggesting character KA and the probability variation suggesting character KB are displayed, it may be indicated that the probability variation state is given. In particular, when the jackpot pattern Pe1 that is determined even when the probability variation state is not given is determined, the result is inconsistent with the result, so the probability variation suggestion character KA and the probability variation suggestion character KB are not determined. In addition, compared with the character table Tk2, random numbers for character determination are assigned so that the probability variation suggesting character KA and the probability variation suggesting character KB are less likely to be determined.

  Therefore, when determining the probability change suggestion character in the round game of the 4th to 8th rounds, the general CPU 31a refers to the appearance pattern table Tc0 based on the determined jackpot pattern and the acquired table determination random number, and the table pattern TP1. Determine ~ TP16. Next, the general CPU 31a refers to the determined table patterns TP1 to TP16 and specifies character tables Tk1 to Tk3 for determining the probability change suggesting character in each round game. Next, the general CPU 31a determines the probability change suggestion characters KA to KG with reference to the specified character tables Tk1 to Tk3 for each round game. When referring to the character tables Tk2 and Tk3, the overall CPU 31a determines the probability variation suggesting characters KA to KG corresponding to the acquired character determination random number based on the determined jackpot pattern. As described above, when the CPU 31a determines the probability change suggesting characters KA to KG, in the round games of the fourth to eighth rounds, the general CPU 31a outputs a character instruction command for designating the determined probability change suggesting characters KA to KG. Yes.

Next, processing for setting the effect mode will be described.
The overall CPU 31a displays a fixed stop display of the jackpot symbol combination based on the specific symbol or the probability variation symbol, and when the jackpot game based on the jackpot pattern Pa1, Pa2, Pa3, Pa4, Pb1, Pc1, Pc2, Pd1, Pd2 is finished, After the big hit game ends, the probability change mode is set. The overall CPU 31a sets a special probability variable concealment mode after the jackpot game ends when the jackpot game effect based on the jackpot pattern Pd3, Pe1 ends. The general CPU 31a sets the normal probability variation concealment mode when the special rate variation concealment mode is set and the entrance rate improvement state is no longer imparted and the probability variation state is imparted. To do. In addition, the general CPU 31a sets the special probability variable concealment mode when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, and when the probability change state is not given, Set the mode.

  Moreover, the general CPU 31a sets the special probability change concealment mode or the probability change mode when the game effect of the big hit game based on the big hit pattern Pf1 ends. In addition, when the game effect of the big hit game based on the big hit pattern Pg1 is finished, the general CPU 31a sets the normal probability variable concealment mode when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, and when the entrance rate improvement state is given, Set the special probability variation concealment mode or probability variation mode. In addition, when setting the effect mode, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect mode designation command for designating the set effect mode to each of the control boards 32 to 34.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control board 30 becomes a main control device that controls the entire gaming machine. The overall control board 31 is a sub-control device that executes various processes based on control signals from the main control board 30. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as a jackpot game content determination means for determining an episode pattern. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as an effect control means for executing a game effect related to the big hit game. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as an effect design determining means for determining an ornamental design (final effect design) to be confirmed and stopped. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as a temporary symbol determining means for determining a temporary symbol to be temporarily stopped and displayed. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as a re-lottery effect control means for executing a re-lottery effect. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as an effect mode setting means for setting the effect mode.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 32a inputs an effect mode designation command, the designated effect mode is set. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 32a is variable so that the decorative symbols are variably displayed and the symbol combination game is started based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the set effect mode. The display content of the display H2 is controlled.

  In addition, when the variation pattern including the re-lottery effect is specified, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the temporary symbol designated by the temporary symbol designation command based on the variation pattern. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the symbol combination designated by the input decorative symbol designation command is displayed on the variable display H2 in a fixed stop display. By this control, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 32a receives the big hit pattern and the opening command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the opening effect based on the big hit pattern. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 to execute a round effect based on the big hit pattern. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the episode pattern designation command together with the round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the designated episode effect is executed in the round game. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the character designation command together with the round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the designated character is displayed in the round game. Further, when the ending command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute the ending effect. Thereby, in the variable display H2, an opening effect, a round effect, and an ending effect are each performed.

  Next, when episode effects are performed, the timing when episode effects continue over a plurality of jackpot games will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 25A, description will be made assuming that in the first jackpot game, the jackpot pattern Pa2 is determined, and the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 are determined. In the first jackpot game, the value of the first jackpot execution number counter is “0”. Moreover, after the jackpot game with the episode effect based on the episode pattern EP1, the jackpot pattern Pa2 is determined again in the third jackpot game, and the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 are determined.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot pattern Pa2 based on the premise in the first jackpot game (time point A1), and determines the episode pattern with reference to the episode table Tb1. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 based on the premise. At this time, since the first big hit number of executions counter is “0” from the premise, the overall CPU 31a executes the episode effect based on the episode pattern EP1 during the round game of 4 to 9 rounds (time point A1). Further, the overall CPU 31a sets “1” to the first big hit execution number counter.

  Thereafter, the overall CPU 31a executes one jackpot game based on the premise and updates the first jackpot execution number counter by adding 1 (time point A2). Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 again from the premise in the third big hit game (time point A3). At this time, since the value of the first big hit execution frequency counter is 5 or less, the overall CPU 31a outputs an episode pattern designation command for designating the episode pattern EP2. Therefore, episode display based on the episode pattern EP2 is executed on the variable display H2. As described above, when the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 when the number of executions of the jackpot game after the episode pattern EP1 is determined is equal to or less than the predetermined number (5 times). The episode effect based on the episode pattern EP2 corresponding to the next stage of the episode effect based on the episode pattern EP1 executed last time is executed. For this reason, the variation of the game production of the big hit game is further increased, and the interest of the player can be improved.

  Next, a description will be given based on FIG. In FIG. 25 (b), it is assumed that in the first jackpot game, the jackpot pattern Pa2 is determined, and the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 are determined. In the first jackpot game, the value of the first jackpot execution number counter is “0”. In addition, after the jackpot game with the episode effect based on the episode pattern EP1, the jackpot pattern Pa2 is determined again in the sixth jackpot game, and the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 are determined.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the jackpot pattern Pa2 based on the premise in the first jackpot game (time point B1), and determines the episode pattern with reference to the episode table Tb1. Then, the overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 based on the premise. At this time, since the number of executions of the first big hit is “0” based on the premise, the overall CPU 31a executes the episode effect based on the episode pattern EP1 during the round game of 4 to 9 rounds (time point B1). At this time, the overall CPU 31a sets “1” to the first big hit execution number counter.

  Thereafter, the overall CPU 31a executes five jackpot games based on the premise (time points B2 to B5). The general CPU 31a updates the first jackpot execution counter by adding 1 each time the jackpot game is executed, and when the value is "5" in the fifth jackpot game, "0" is set. Set.

  The overall CPU 31a determines the episode pattern EP1 and the episode pattern EP2 in the sixth jackpot game (time point B6). At this time, since the value of the first big hit execution number counter is “0”, the overall CPU 31a outputs an episode pattern designation command for designating the episode pattern EP1. Therefore, episode display based on the episode pattern EP1 is executed on the variable display H2. As described above, the overall CPU 31a executes the episode effect based on the episode pattern EP1 again when the number of executions of the big hit game after the episode pattern EP1 is determined exceeds the predetermined number (5 times). Will be allowed to. Thereby, in order to see the episode production based on the episode pattern EP2 following the episode production based on the episode pattern EP2, it is possible to make the player want to continuously execute the big hit game. In addition, when too many jackpot games are executed after the episode presentation based on the episode pattern EP1 is executed, the same player does not always continue the game, so the first episode pattern again. The episode production based on EP1 was executed so as not to confuse the player.

  Next, specific contents of the effect in the variable display H2 when the probability change suggestion is performed will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 26, it is assumed that the big hit pattern Pd2 is determined and the table pattern TP10 is determined.

  The overall CPU 31a refers to the character table Tk3 based on the table pattern TP10 determined from the premise when determining the probability change suggesting character in the round game of the fourth round. At this time, the overall CPU 31a determines a probability change suggesting character with reference to the character table Tk3 based on the big hit pattern Pd2. For this reason, the overall CPU 31a does not determine the probability change suggesting character KB. Here, the overall CPU 31a will be described as having determined the probability change suggesting character KG. The overall CPU 31a outputs a character designation command for designating the probability change suggesting character KG determined from the premise together with the round command of the fourth round.

  Based on the character designation command and the round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the probability variation suggesting character KG is displayed in the round game of the fourth round. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the probability change suggesting character KG in the fourth round game (FIG. 26A).

  Next, when determining the probability change suggesting character in the fifth round game, the general CPU 31a refers to the character table Tk1 based on the table pattern TP10 determined from the premise. Thereby, the overall CPU 31a determines the probability change suggesting character KA. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a character designation command for designating the determined probability change suggesting character KA together with the round command of the fifth round.

  Based on the character designation command and the round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the probability change suggesting character KA is displayed in the round game of the fifth round. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the probability change suggesting character KA in the fifth round game (FIG. 26B).

  Similarly, when determining the probability change suggesting character in the sixth round game, the overall CPU 31a refers to the character table Tk1 based on the table pattern TP10 determined from the premise. Thereby, the overall CPU 31a determines the probability change suggesting character KA. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a character designation command for designating the determined probability change suggesting character KA together with the sixth round command.

  Based on the character designation command and the round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the probability change suggesting character KA is displayed in the sixth round game. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the probability change suggesting character KA in the sixth round game (FIG. 26 (c)).

  Similarly, the overall CPU 31a refers to the character table Tk1 based on the table pattern TP10 determined from the premise when determining the probability change suggesting character in the seventh round game. Thereby, the overall CPU 31a determines the probability change suggesting character KA. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a character designation command for designating the determined probability change suggesting character KA together with the round command of the seventh round.

  Based on the character designation command and the round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the probability change suggesting character KA is displayed in the seventh round game. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the probability change suggesting character KA in the round game of the seventh round (FIG. 26D).

  When determining the probability change suggesting character in the eighth round game, the overall CPU 31a refers to the character table Tk2 based on the table pattern TP10 determined from the premise. At that time, the overall CPU 31a determines a probability change suggesting character with reference to the character table Tk2 based on the jackpot pattern Pd2. For this reason, the overall CPU 31a does not determine the probability change suggesting character KB. Here, the overall CPU 31a will be described as having determined the probability change suggesting character KC. The overall CPU 31a outputs a character designation command for designating the probability change suggesting character KC determined from the premise together with the round command of the eighth round.

  Based on the character designation command and the round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the probability variation suggesting character KC is displayed in the eighth round game. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the probability variation suggesting character KC in the round game of the fourth round (FIG. 26 (e)).

  Note that the variable display H2 then performs an effect suggesting the possibility that the probability variation state is given based on the effect content specified by the big hit pattern Pd3 in the eleventh round game ( FIG. 26 (f)).

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The player may be able to recognize that the confirmed symbol is a jackpot symbol combination based on the probability variation symbol, and that the jackpot pattern Pc2, Pc1, Pd1 is determined and the certainty variation state is confirmed. However, even in this case, the game times of the round games after the 11th round are different (the total opening time of the big winning door 28 is different), the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, and the 15R normal probability variable big hit game. Until it is informed or until the eleventh round game cannot be recognized. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the probability of executing an episode effect (effect based on episode patterns EP1 to EP4) executed in stages over a plurality of jackpot games is determined as a 15R special probability variable jackpot game, a step-up jackpot game, It was changed depending on one of 15R normal probability variation big hit games (see FIG. 22). Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not episode effects (effects based on the episode patterns EP1 to EP4) executed in stages over a plurality of big hit games are executed.

  (2) Further, when the number of executions of the jackpot game after the episode pattern EP1 is determined is equal to or less than the predetermined number (5 times), the overall CPU 31a determines that the episode patterns EP1 to EP2 are determined. The episode presentation based on the episode pattern EP2 corresponding to the next stage of the episode presentation based on the episode pattern EP1 executed last time is executed. For this reason, the variation of the game production of the big hit game is further increased, and the interest of the player can be improved. In addition, it is possible to make the player want to continuously determine the episode patterns EP1 to EP2, that is, to continuously execute the 15R special probability variable big hit game in which the episode patterns EP1 to EP2 are easily determined. .

  (3) The 15R special probability variation jackpot game, the step-up jackpot game, and the 15R normal probability variation jackpot game are the opening modes of the grand prize opening door 28 in the round game before the specific number of times (the eleventh round), It is not possible to distinguish which jackpot game. In addition, in the 11th round game, the step-up jackpot game is a grand prize opening if the grand prize winning door 28 is not opened more than the number of round games after the 11th round of the 15R normal probability variable big hit game (six times). The opening mode of the door 28 is the same as that of the 15R normal probability variation big hit game, and cannot be distinguished until it is opened six times or more. In addition, since the upper limit number of round games is the same, even if the 15R display lamp L1 indicating that 15 rounds of jackpot game are given, the player can distinguish which jackpot game. Can not do it. For this reason, in the round game before the 11th round, attention can be paid to the effect of the big hit game, that is, whether or not the episode effect based on the episode patterns EP1 to EP2 is executed.

  (4) When the step-up jackpot game is awarded, the general CPU 31a is in the round game after the 12th round until the grand prize winning door 28 is opened during the round game of the 11th round. A big bonus promotion effect that suggests whether or not a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls is obtained or a probability change notification effect that notifies whether or not a probability change state is given is executed. In addition, when the 15R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded, the general CPU 31a grants a big bonus promotion effect or a probability change state from the start of the 11th round game to the end of the 15th round game. Probability notification effect for informing whether or not to be performed is executed. Thus, when a 15R normal probability variable big hit game is awarded, even if it is determined that the 15R special probability variable big hit game is not based on the round game time of the eleventh round game, the round game after the specific number of times of the 15R normal probability variable big hit game The player can be expected to receive a step-up jackpot game until the jackpot door 28 is opened more than the number of times (until the jackpot game ends).

  (5) When a 15R special probability variable jackpot game is executed, a jackpot symbol combination based on a specific symbol indicating that a 15R special probability variable jackpot game is given may be displayed as a confirmed symbol. On the other hand, even when a jackpot symbol combination based on a probability variation symbol or a jackpot symbol combination based on a normal symbol is displayed as a confirmed symbol, a 15R special probability variation jackpot game may be awarded. In this case, the big hit patterns Pa2 to Pa4 are determined, and during the big hit game, a big bonus promotion effect, an episode effect, a probability change promotion suggestion effect, a probability change notification effect, and the like are executed. Therefore, no matter what symbols are displayed, it is possible to cause the player to pay attention to the game effects related to the jackpot game by expecting that the 15R special probability variable jackpot game is given.

  (6) The general CPU 31a performs a big bonus promotion effect that suggests whether or not a chance to obtain a large number of prize balls can be obtained in round games after the 12th round in round games before the 11th round. It is configured to run. Thereby, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the big bonus promotion effect is executed in the round game before the eleventh round game. For this reason, the interest of the round game before the 11th round game can be improved.

  (7) When the 15R special probability variable jackpot game is awarded, the overall CPU 31a is awarded a 15R special probability variable jackpot game during the jackpot game if a combination of jackpot symbols with a specific symbol is displayed as the confirmed symbol. Let me show you. On the other hand, the general CPU 31a starts the 11th round (specific number of times) of the round game when the symbol combination of the jackpot with the probability variation symbol is displayed as the confirmed symbol when the 15R special probability variation jackpot game is awarded. It is configured so that a big bonus promotion effect suggesting that a 15R special probability variable jackpot game or a step-up jackpot game is awarded before the game is executed. In addition, when the 15R special probability variable jackpot game is awarded and the bonus symbol combination based on the normal symbol is displayed as the confirmed symbol, the general CPU 31a is in the jackpot game and before the eleventh round game starts. The probability variation notification effect indicating that the probability variation state is given to can be executed.

  In addition, when the 15R normal probability variation jackpot game is awarded, if the symbol combination of the jackpot with the probability variation symbol is displayed as the confirmed symbol, the general CPU 31a indicates that the probability variation state has been imparted during the jackpot game. . On the other hand, when the 15R normal probability variable big hit game is awarded, and the big symbol combination by the normal symbol is displayed as the confirmed symbol, the general CPU 31a makes a positive change before the eleventh round game starts. It is comprised so that a notification effect can be performed. As a result, even when a jackpot symbol combination based on the probability variation symbol is displayed as the confirmed symbol, the big bonus promotion effect (special promotion effect) can be performed, so that the variation in the effect content of the jackpot game can be increased. (8) Further, when the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game or the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game is given, the general CPU 31a may not give a jackpot symbol combination based on the probability variation symbol as a confirmed symbol and may be given a probability variation state. May not be shown. At this time, the general CPU 31a sets the special probability variation concealment mode, and suggests that there is a possibility that the probability variation state is given. Thereby, it can be made to expect a player that the probability variation state is provided. As described above, the overall CPU 31a determines a confirmed symbol based on the final stop symbol, and determines the content and execution timing of the temporary symbol, the big bonus promotion effect, and the probability change notification effect according to the game characteristics and the content of the redrawing effect. To do. For this reason, in any jackpot game, it is possible to have a sense of expectation of a probable promotion suggestion effect or a big bonus promotion effect. In addition, since a special probability variation concealment mode is set that suggests that the probability variation state is granted even if the probability variation state is not indicated during the jackpot game, the probability variation state is imparted. It can be expected. Therefore, it is possible to increase the contents of the effect of the big hit game and the variation of the effect mode, and improve the interest of the player.

  (9) The 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the step-up jackpot game, and the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, which one of the jackpot games is determined from the open state of the big winning door 28 in the round game before the eleventh round Cannot be distinguished. For this reason, in round games prior to the 11th round, attention can be paid to game effects during a big hit game such as a probable promotion suggestion effect and a big bonus promotion effect. Further, in the step-up jackpot game, if the grand prize winning door 28 is not opened more than the number of round games after the eleventh round of the 15R normal probability variable big hit game (5 times), the opening mode of the big winning prize door 28 is 15R normal. It is the same as the probable big hit game, and either cannot be distinguished. For this reason, even if the probability change promotion suggestion effect, the big bonus promotion effect, etc. are not executed, it is possible to focus on the number of times the big winning door 28 is opened in the round game of the eleventh round, thereby improving the interest of the player. be able to.

  (10) In the round game of the specific number (11th round) of the step-up jackpot game, the grand prize opening door 28 is opened by the first opening control (opened in 0.32 seconds) within the round game time. , 15R is released for the number of round games (five times) after the specific number of regular odds / big hit games. In addition, the opening time of the special winning opening door 28 is set to the same time as the round game time of the 15R normal probability variable big hit game. For this reason, in the round game of the specific number of step-up jackpot games, the release for the number of round games after the specific number of rounds of the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game ends, and until the next release starts, It can be made unknown whether the winning jackpot game is a step-up jackpot game or a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game. Also, at the end of the release of the number of round games after the specific number of rounds of the 15R normal probability variable big hit game from the start of the specific number of round games, the big hit game is ended if the game is the 15R normal probability variable big hit game. On the other hand, in the case of a step-up jackpot game, the big winning opening door 28 is continuously opened. Therefore, at the time of granting a 15R normal probability variable big hit game, by not letting the player recognize the type of big hit game until just before the big hit game is ended, not only at the start of the big hit game but also right before the big hit game is ended. In addition, it is possible to improve the interest during the big hit game by keeping the player expected to be a step-up big hit game. On the other hand, at the time of granting a step-up jackpot game, the round game after a specific number of times is continued and the player can recognize that it is a step-up jackpot game, allowing the player to continue the remaining jackpot game with peace of mind. it can. As a result, a plurality of jackpot games having different values given to the player can be provided without reducing the interest in the jackpot game.

  In the big bonus promotion effect, whether or not the promising state is given is suggested together with whether or not the given jackpot game is a step-up jackpot game. Furthermore, in the probability change promotion suggestion effect, the effect contents of the probability change notification effect are notified in advance. Then, until the specific number of round games that can recognize whether the game is a step-up jackpot game or a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game is started, the probability change notification effect is executed and the start of the specific number of round games is started. From 15R, the bonus bonus promotion effect is executed until the release for the number of round games after the specific number of times of the normal probability variation big hit game is completed. For this reason, until the round game of the specific number of times is executed, the player pays attention to the probability change promotion suggestion effect that gives notice of the effect content of the probability change notification effect. Furthermore, the player notifies the probability change from the start of the specified number of round games until the release of the round games for the specified number of rounds after the specified number of rounds of the 15R normal probability variable big hit game is completed. You will pay attention to the production. Therefore, when a big hit game is awarded, regardless of the type of the big hit game, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the effect during the big hit game from the beginning to the end (big hit game effect).

  (11) The player can recognize whether the game is a step-up jackpot game, a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, or a 15R special probability variable jackpot game from the movement of the big winning opening door 28 of the round game of the specific number of times. . Then, when recognizing that a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, the player gets a chance to win more prize balls than when the 15R normal probability variable big hit game is awarded, and the probability is changed. Recognize that you also get the state. For this reason, the player pays attention to the movement of the grand prize winning door 28 of the specific number of round games.

  (12) Further, the step-up jackpot game and the 15R normal probability variable big hit game are configured to execute the big bonus promotion effect until it is recognized whether or not the step up jackpot game and the 15R normal probability variable big hit game are recognized. Until the recognition of whether or not it is, the player can not only pay attention to the movement of the grand prize winning door 28 of the round game of the specific number of times, but can also pay attention to the execution of the big bonus promotion effect. .

  (13) By determining the table patterns TP <b> 1 to TP <b> 16, the round game that is the target of the probability change promotion suggestion effect and the round game in which the probability change suggestion character KA appears are determined. Further, in the round game in which the character tables Tk2 and Tk3 are determined among the target round games with the determined table patterns TP1 to TP16, the probability change suggesting characters KA to KG are further determined based on the determined character tables Tk2 and Tk3. did. For this reason, the probable change promotion suggesting effects are classified according to the table patterns TP1 to TP16, and the probable change suggestion characters KA to KG are respectively determined from the classified, thereby determining the contents of the probable change promotion suggestive effects through a plurality of stages. Can do. Thereby, it becomes possible to set finely the appearance mode of the probability variation suggestion characters KA to KG in the probability variation promotion suggestion effect. And it becomes possible to have the information regarding the probability change promotion suggestion effect with a smaller capacity than when all the appearance modes of the probability change suggestion characters KA to KG that can appear are prepared.

  (14) If it is not decided to give the probability variation state, the probability variation suggestion characters KC other than the probability variation suggestion characters KA and KB in round games that do not identify the appearance of the specific probability variation suggestion characters KA and KB in the table patterns TP1 to TP16. -KG was made to appear. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to the effect contents of the probability variation promotion suggestion effect by imparting bias to the effect mode of the probability change promotion suggestion effect depending on the jackpot game given and the game state after the end of the jackpot game.

  (15) Even if it is determined to give a certain probability change state, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a certain probability change suggestion character in a round game that does not specify the appearance of specific probability change suggestion characters KA and KB in the table patterns TP1 to TP16 Probability suggestion characters other than KA and KB were made to appear. For this reason, a probabilistic state is given in any of the probabilistic promotion suggestion directing aspects while giving a bias to the probable promotion promotion directing directing form depending on the jackpot game given and the gaming state after the end of the big hit game. The possibility can be given. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to the contents of the probable promotion promotion effect.

  (16) The overall CPU 31a determines the big hit patterns Pd1 to Pd3 when the 15R normal probability variable big hit game is given, and determines the big hit patterns Pa1 to Pa4 when the 15R special probability variable big hit game is given. did. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to the contents of the jackpot game by making the contents of the jackpot game different depending on the jackpot game to be given. In addition, when a 15R normal probability variation big hit game is awarded, it is not notified that the probability variation state is granted regardless of the game state being given, so there is a possibility that the probability variation state will be given even after the big hit game ends. Can do. Therefore, the player can be made to pay more attention to the contents of the big hit game.

  (17) When the game effect of the big hit game based on the big hit pattern Pa1 is executed, it is determined that the 15R special probability variable big hit game is given at that time and the probability change state is given as the game state. It becomes. For this reason, a player can have great expectation for the game effect of the big hit game based on the big hit pattern Pa1.

  (18) When a specific probability change suggesting character KA appears in all the round games of the fourth to eighth rounds, the probability change state is assigned as a game state and that a 15-round jackpot game is given at that time. Will be confirmed. For this reason, in the big hit game, it is possible to make the player have high expectations for the appearance of the specific probability suggestion character KA in each round game. Therefore, in the big hit game, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the effects through the entire big hit game while paying attention to the individual effects of each round game.

  (19) In the eleventh round game of the step-up jackpot game, the big prize door 28 is opened by the third opening control in addition to the first opening control. As a result, according to the first opening control, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened by the opening amount of the special winning prize winning door 28 from the eleventh round game of the second value big hit game to the round game of the upper limit number of rounds. Even after this, until the round game time of the step-up jackpot game elapses, the big winning opening door 28 is opened by the third opening control. As a result, even in the round game of the 11th round, the opening time of the grand prize winning door 28 in one round game is set to the round winning game 28 after the specific number of times of the 15R normal probability variation big hit game. It can be set longer than the total opening time, and the maximum number of balls can be obtained.

  (20) The general CPU 31a can display a jackpot symbol combination with a normal symbol regardless of the type of jackpot game to be given. For this reason, when the big hit game is awarded, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing the type of the big hit game given from the fixed symbol of the symbol variation game. Therefore, by making the player not recognize the type of the big hit game in appearance in the symbol variation game, attention can be paid to the effect contents of the game effect during the big hit game.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, when the normal symbol [2] is derived among the winning symbols in the general game, the second is more than when the normal symbol [1] is derived. The opening time of the start winning opening 27 is made longer, but it may be the same.

In the above embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, a plurality of types of variation times of the usual game are provided, but one type may be used.
In the first variation game of the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot is won may be changed other than the 2R special probability variable jackpot game and the 2R normal probability variable jackpot game.

  In the second variation game of the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot is won may be changed other than the 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game and the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game.

-In the said embodiment, when it is a big hit, you may make it not give a jump-up big hit game.
In the above embodiment, the first start winning opening 25 and the second starting winning opening 27 are provided and the first variation game and the second variation game are executed. However, only one of them may be used.

  In the above embodiment, after the 15R normal non-probability big hit game and the 15R probability change secret big hit game, the number of symbol variable games to which the entrance rate improvement state is given is the same in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game and the 15R normal variable big hit game. If it is, you may change to arbitrary numbers (for example, 50 times etc.).

  -In the above embodiment, if the opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 in the small hit game is the same as the big winning opening door 28 in the two round big hit game, the big prize opening door 28 in the two round big hit game The opening time may be changed.

In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made in the first variable game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game may not be given.
In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made in the second variable game, a 2R special probability variable big hit game and a 2R normal probability variable big hit game may be given. At this time, the allocation of the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game needs to be smaller than that in the first variable game.

-In the above-mentioned embodiment, when it is a big hit in the 1st change game, you may make it give 15R probability change secret big hit game.
In the above embodiment, the winning probability of the small hit determination in the first variable game and the winning probability of the small hit determination in the second variable game may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the winning probability of the small hit determination in the first variable game may be the same as the winning probability of the small hit determination in the second variable game.

  In the above embodiment, the rate at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the second variable game is higher than the rate at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the first variable game. You may do it. For example, the ratio at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the first variable game and the second variable game may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the external terminal board 40 may arbitrarily change the timing at which the jackpot gaming state signal is output to the outside of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the external terminal board 40 may output a big hit game state signal at the end of the big hit game, or may output at the start of the big hit game.

  -In the said embodiment, you may perform the suggestion effect which shows that a probability variation state is provided by the 11th round. In addition, since it is possible to recognize whether or not a step-up jackpot game has been granted from the opening / closing mode of the big winning door 28 in the eleventh round, it is suggested that the suggestion effect be executed by the eleventh round. Attention can also be paid to the execution of the production. Further, in the 15R probability variation concealment jackpot game, it is necessary to restrict execution of the suggestion effect and conceal the probability variation state.

  In the above embodiment, when a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, a special notification effect indicating that a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded may be executed by the eleventh round. As described above, the special notification effect is executed by executing the special notification effect until the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probability variable big hit game is recognized. Can attract attention.

  -In the eleventh round game of the step-up jackpot game of the above embodiment, the grand prize opening door 28 is opened six times so that game balls can win up to the maximum number of balls entered, but 15R Normally, it may be opened only five times so that it cannot be judged as a probable big hit game.

  -In the first round game of the jump-up jackpot game of the above embodiment, the grand prize opening door 28 is opened three times so that game balls can win up to the maximum number of balls entered. In order to make it impossible to determine that the game is a big hit game in a round, it may be opened only twice.

  In the above embodiment, when assigning the probability variation state, the number of times the probability variation state is imparted is set to 10,000, but the number may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be 5000 times. Further, a probable state may be given until the next big hit without setting an upper limit.

In the above embodiment, the probability change promotion suggesting effect is executed, but it is not necessary to execute it.
-In the said embodiment, although the re-lottery effect was performed, it is not necessary to perform.
