Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Pachinko machine that determines a special symbol winning type by electronic lottery different from electronic lottery for the type of special symbol, and prevents, when a performance symbol is varied, a probability variation performance pattern to inform the determination of the probability variation winning from being used despite that the special symbol winning type is not determined to the probability variation winning.SOLUTION: A means 120 of a main control device 100 determines current variation pattern for special symbol winning from among multiple types of variation patterns for special symbol winning. A means 140 determines the type of the current special symbol winning. A means 220 of a performance control processing part 200 selects the performance pattern corresponding to the current variation pattern for special symbol winning as the current performance pattern. A means 230 replaces the performance pattern for probability variation winning by the performance pattern, having the same variation time as that of the performance pattern for probability variation winning and used for both normal winning and probability variation winning, only when the performance pattern for probability variation winning is selected as the current performance pattern during the normal winning.

Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that determines the type of a special symbol that is stopped and displayed by electronic lottery, and determines the type of a hit related to the special symbol by electronic lottery different from the electronic lottery.

  In the pachinko machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, a special symbol display device (segment indicator) that is controlled to display a special symbol and an electronic lottery opportunity related to the special symbol are provided in the game area where the game ball flows down. There are provided a starting port for generating and an attacker device which is controlled to open and close the big prize opening. When a game ball launched toward the game area wins the start opening, a special symbol or a loss is determined by electronic lottery, and the result of this electronic lottery stops after the special symbol fluctuates in the special symbol display device Displayed in a manner. If you win per special figure, the special symbol will change and then stop in a state that shows the special figure. After that, the special winning opening will be opened and closed by the attacker device for a predetermined number of rounds and the game will be provided to the player. Is done. In this winning game, the game ball can be awarded to the big winning opening, so that the player can acquire many prize balls.

  There are various types of special symbols that are displayed when the special symbol is won, and each of these multiple types of special symbols, along with the number of rounds of the game played, per special symbol such as normal hit and probability variable It is associated with the type in advance. Then, one of the plural types of special symbols is determined as a special symbol to be stopped and displayed this time by electronic lottery. In other words, by determining the type of special symbol that is stopped and displayed when winning per special figure by electronic lottery from among the multiple types of special symbols, the number of rounds per game and the type per special figure (Normal hits, probability hits, etc.) are determined. When winning in a normal win, the gaming state after the winning game is a special figure normal gaming state in which the winning probability per special figure in the electronic lottery related to the special symbol is low. When winning for a probable change, the gaming state after the winning game is the special figure high probability gaming state in which the winning probability per special figure in the electronic lottery related to the special symbol is set higher than the special figure normal gaming state (Probability fluctuation state).

  In addition, there are a plurality of types of special symbol variation patterns (special diagram variation patterns) when a special symbol is won. These plural types of variation patterns are prepared by being divided into tables that are associated in advance with the types of special symbols. When determining the special pattern variation pattern, one of the tables corresponding to the type of the special symbol is selected and determined as the current variation pattern. That is, the special figure variation pattern is determined based on the type of the special symbol.

  The game area is provided with an effect display device that is controlled to display an effect symbol (also referred to as a dummy symbol) for effecting an electronic lottery related to the special symbol. The effect symbol is displayed in such a manner that it is stopped after the fluctuation substantially in synchronization with the start and stop of the fluctuation of the special symbol. There are also variations in the variation pattern of the effect design (effect pattern). When the effect design changes, the start and stop of the effect design change starts and stops based on the special design change pattern. An effect pattern of the same time as the variation time of the special figure variation pattern is determined as the present effect pattern from a plurality of types of effect patterns so as to be substantially synchronized.

  Furthermore, at the time of hitting a special figure, for example, the effect symbol is stopped at an even number of blue eyes at the time of normal hit, and an odd number of zoro at the time of a probable change so that the player can determine the type of the special figure by looking at the effect symbol. It stops at the eyes. As a result, it is possible to make the player who is viewing the production symbol irritated by whether he has won the odds of winning or the normal winnings.

  The function for determining the type of special symbol (type per special symbol, number of rounds per game) and the function for determining the special pattern variation pattern are based on the main control device (also referred to as main board) of the pachinko machine. The function for determining the effect pattern is based on a sub-control device (also referred to as a sub-board), and these main control device and sub-control device are microcomputers including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The sub-control device determines the current design pattern that corresponds to the special diagram variation pattern determined based on the type of the special design in the main control device when the production design is varied. The effect display device is controlled so that the display is changed.

JP 2011-130963 A (paragraphs 0186 to 0195, 0231 to 0257, 0388)

  For example, the pachinko machine disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 stops at an even number of double-eyes when it hits normally, and an odd number at the time of probability change so that the player can determine the type per special figure by looking at the production design. The pachinko machine was designed to stop at the double-eyed eyes, but the pachinko machine cannot determine the type per special figure even when looking at the production symbols.For example, the numbers of the production symbols are odd and even. There is also a case where there is no distinction between normal hit and probability change). Thereby, it is possible to allow the player to continue the game while expecting that the game state after the end of the hit game is a special figure high probability game state. However, even if it is not possible to determine the type per special symbol based on the production symbol, the player stops at the special symbol display device because the special symbol type is associated with the special symbol type in advance. It is possible to determine whether the special symbol type is a normal hit or a probable hit (so-called seg determination) by looking at the special symbol displayed. However, it is meaningless that the type per special map cannot be determined.

  As in the pachinko machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the type of special symbol displayed in a stopped state is determined by electronic lottery from among a plurality of types of special symbols. When changing the configuration of a pachinko machine that determines the probability variation, etc., to completely prevent segmentation, the items determined by the electronic lottery of the special symbol type (number of rounds per game, special The type per special figure may be excluded from the type per special figure, and the type per special figure may be determined by an electronic lottery different from the electronic lottery of the special symbol type. That is, information that can be grasped from the special symbol may not include the type per special symbol.

  By the way, even if it is possible to completely prevent the segment determination in this way, the type per special figure (ordinary hit, odd hit) is not always hidden from the player, but only at the time of hit probable change. In rare cases, there is a demand to notify the player of the confirmation of the probability variation by displaying the effect symbol in the probability variation effect pattern and to increase the game. The probable hit effect pattern is, for example, an effect pattern in which three symbols form a doublet in the middle of a change, continue to change and then stop in the state of the doublet. So-called full rotation reach).

  And like the pachinko machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the main control device determines the special figure variation pattern based on the type of the special symbol, and the sub control device determines the production pattern based on the special diagram variation pattern. In the pachinko machine, if the full rotation reach is included in the type of production pattern, the type per special figure is determined by electronic lottery different from the special symbol type electronic lottery to prevent segmentation When the configuration is changed as described above, the special figure variation pattern is determined based on the special symbol type that does not include the special symbol type as information, and the effect pattern is determined based on the special symbol variation pattern. . For this reason, the type per special figure is not reflected in the determination of the production pattern, and as a result, the situation where the full rotation reach that should be used only at the time of probability variation is used even though it is at the normal hit. Will occur.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is a pachinko machine that determines the type per special drawing by electronic lottery different from the electronic lottery of special symbol type, To provide a pachinko machine that can avoid the situation of using the effect pattern for probability variation that informs the confirmation of probability variation when changing the value, even though the type per special figure is not determined to be probability variation It is in.

  In order to achieve the above object, the pachinko machine according to the present invention is configured as follows.

  The pachinko machine according to the present invention includes a game area where game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, and an electronic lottery that determines whether the game is hit or missed. Per special symbol based on the result of the electronic lottery by the special symbol display lottery means, the special symbol display device displayed in a mode that stops after the special symbol fluctuates, The special symbol variation pattern lottery means to determine the variation pattern of the special symbol by electronic lottery from a plurality of types of variation patterns, and the special symbol that is stopped and displayed when hitting the special symbol. Based on the variation pattern determined by the special symbol type determination means for determining the type of the special symbol by electronic lottery from among a plurality of types of special symbols, and the variation pattern lottery means for the special symbol, Special symbol control means for controlling the special symbol display device so as to be displayed in a mode of stopping after another symbol fluctuates, a big winning opening provided in the gaming area, and the big winning opening in the gaming area An attacker device that can be opened and closed, a hit game control means for opening and closing the attacker device by a predetermined number of rounds in the case of a special figure and providing a game to the player; Probability that the winning probability per special figure will be a special figure normal gaming state with a low probability, and that the winning probability per special figure will be a special probability high probability gaming state with a higher probability than the normal winning after the winning game Out of a plurality of types including winning, a winning type determining means for determining a type per special figure by electronic lottery, an effect display device for displaying an effect symbol for producing a game, and the special symbol Effect control means for controlling the effect display device so that the effect symbol starts and stops in synchronization with the special symbol based on the variation pattern determined by the dynamic pattern lottery means, and the special symbol success / failure The lottery means, the special symbol variation pattern lottery means, the special symbol type determining means, the winning game control means, and the winning type determining means are means provided in a main controller, and the effect control means In a pachinko machine that is a sub-control device that operates based on information transmitted from the main control device, each of the special symbol types determined by the special symbol type determining means is the number of rounds of the winning game. The hit control means is associated with the type of the special symbol determined by the special symbol type determining means. The special symbol variation pattern lottery means opens a specific pattern variation pattern and a non-specific variation pattern different from the specific variation pattern variation pattern. A variation pattern of a special symbol (special diagram variation pattern) at the time of a special diagram is determined by electronic lottery from a plurality of types of variation patterns per special diagram composed of a variation pattern for winning, and the production The control means includes an effect pattern for probability variation associated in advance with the variation pattern for the specific special figure, and an effect pattern different from the effect pattern for probability variation and the variation pattern for the non-specific special figure The special pattern hits are selected from among multiple types of special patterns per special figure that are pre-associated with The effect pattern selecting means for selecting the variation pattern (effect pattern) of the effect design, and the type per special figure is determined per normal by the hit type determining means, and the effect pattern selecting means is the effect pattern for the probability variation hit And a replacement means for replacing the effect pattern for the probability variation per turn with the effect pattern for the special figure set at the same variation time, and by the hit type determination means, Except when the type is determined per normal and the production pattern selection means selects the production pattern for probability variation, the production pattern for probability variation selected by the production pattern selection means or for the special figure An effect design is displayed as an effect pattern, and the type per special figure is determined by the hit type determination means as a normal hit. , If the effect pattern selection means selects an effect pattern for per the probability variation, and displaying the performance symbol in the for Japanese view per performance pattern after replacement by said replacement means.

  In the pachinko machine according to the present invention configured as described above, the special symbol success / failure lottery means performs an electronic lottery to determine whether it is per special figure or lost, triggered by the winning of the game ball at the starting port, for example, If the result of the electronic lottery is per special figure, the special symbol fluctuation pattern lottery means the current special figure fluctuation pattern for the specific special figure fluctuation pattern or non-specific special figure per electronic drawing. Determine one of the fluctuation patterns. Further, the special symbol type determining means determines the type of the special symbol related to the current special symbol by electronic lottery from a plurality of types of special symbols.

  As described above, while each of the special symbol success / failure lottery means, the special symbol variation pattern lottery means, and the special symbol type determination means performs the electronic lottery, the hit type determination means determines the type per special symbol by the electronic lottery. Determined per probability variation or normal.

  Further, the effect pattern selection means of the effect control means selects the effect pattern for probability variation or the effect pattern for the special figure as the current effect pattern based on the special pattern fluctuation pattern determined by the special symbol variation pattern lottery means. To do. At this time, only when the type per special figure is determined by the hit type determining means and the probability variation hit effect pattern is selected by the effect pattern selecting means, the replacement means will produce the probability change hit effect. The pattern is replaced with a special pattern per effect pattern set at the same variation time.

  The special symbol control means includes the special symbol variation pattern determined by the special symbol variation pattern lottery means (variation pattern for specific or non-specific special symbol) and the special symbol determined by the special symbol type determination means. Based on the type, the special symbol display device is controlled to stop after the special symbol fluctuates. In parallel with this, the effect control means is the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern selection means (the effect pattern for probability variation or the effect pattern for the special figure), or the effect pattern for the special figure after the replacement by the replacement means. The effect display device is controlled to stop after the effect symbol fluctuates.

  In other words, in the pachinko machine according to the present invention, the effect control means determines that the type per special figure is determined by the hit type determination means for the normal hit, and the effect pattern for probability variation is determined as the current effect pattern by the effect pattern selection means. Is selected, that is, only when the effect pattern for probability variation is selected even though the type per special figure is normal, the effect pattern for probability variation is set to the same variation time. Is replaced with the effect pattern per special figure (the effect pattern that is used for both normal hit and probability change), and the effect symbol is displayed with the effect pattern per special figure. In other words, when a special pattern per special figure (a combination pattern for normal hit and probable change) is selected as the current production pattern, the type per special figure is related to normal hit or probable hit. If the effect pattern for the special figure is displayed as the effect pattern for the special figure and the effect pattern for the probability variation is selected as the effect pattern of this time, it is limited to the case where the type per special figure is the probability variation. An effect design is displayed with the effect pattern for the probability variation. As a result, the pachinko machine according to the present invention can avoid a situation in which the effect pattern for probability variation that notifies the confirmation of the probability variation is used when the effect symbol is varied even though the special symbol is not a probability variation.

  Note that in the pachinko machine according to the present invention, each of the special symbol types determined by the special symbol type determining means is associated in advance with the number of rounds of the winning game. It is possible to know the number of rounds of games played per game.

  According to the pachinko machine according to the present invention, as described above, when changing the production symbol, the production pattern for probability variation that notifies the confirmation of probability variation is determined when the type per special diagram is determined to be probability variation. It is possible to avoid the situation of using it even though it is not.

These means 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180 are means set by computer programs and data stored in the ROM in order to perform control related to the game.

  The special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 is determined by an electronic lottery for a special symbol or when a game ball is won at the first start winning opening 61 (start opening) or the second start winning opening 62 (start opening). To do. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range (this embodiment) based on an interrupt signal periodically (for example, every 2 milliseconds). In the range of integers from 0 to 2730), the special figure success / failure random number generating means 111 for generating the special figure success / failure random number that is a software random number, and the first start winning prize opening 61 or the second start winning prize opening. In other words, the game ball detection signal from the first start winning port detection sensor 91 or the second start winning port detection sensor 92 is input to the main control device 100 in response to the winning of the game ball to 62, The special figure success / failure random number acquisition means 112 for acquiring (latching) the special figure success / failure random number generated by the special figure success / failure random number generation means 111 and the special figure success / failure random number acquisition means 112. Whether or not the special random number is per special figure or lost is determined by referring to the special figure low-accuracy determination table 113a shown in FIG. 6 or the special figure high-accuracy determination table 113b shown in FIG. When the special figure success / failure random number obtaining means 112 acquires the special figure success / failure random number based on the determination means 113 and the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 61 during the change of the special symbol, A first special figure success / failure random number storage means 114 for storing a random number up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment) as a reserved ball random number relating to the special design, using the RAM of the main controller 100; When the special figure success / failure random number obtaining means 112 obtains the special figure success / failure random number based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 62 during the fluctuation of the special figure, the special figure success / failure random number is held on the special symbol Predetermined maximum number of spherical random numbers (this embodiment Comprises a second special symbol spruce random number storage unit 115 for storing four) to utilize the RAM of the main control unit 100. The reserved ball random number stored in the first special figure success / failure random number storage means 114 and the reserved ball random number stored in the second special figure success / failure random number storage means 115 are the winning prizes for storing the reserved ball random numbers. In this order, that is, in order of winning, the special figure determination unit 113 determines whether it is per special figure or lost.

  The special figure low-accuracy time determination table 113a and the special figure high-accuracy time determination table 113b prescribe the correspondence relationship between the special figure success / failure random numbers and the special figure hit / miss. Specifically, in the special figure low-accuracy determination table 113a shown in FIG. 6, the special figure hit random numbers 0 to 9 are associated with the special figure hit random numbers in advance, and the special figure hit random numbers 10 to 2730 are lost. Are associated in advance. On the other hand, in the special figure high-accuracy determination table shown in FIG. 7, the special figure hit / random numbers 0 to 90 are associated in advance with the special figure hit / fail random numbers 91 to 2730, and the special figure hit / fail random numbers 91 to 2730 have lost in advance. It is associated. The winning probability per special figure by the special figure high-accuracy determination table 113b is set to 1 / 27.3, and the probability of winning per special figure by the special figure low-accuracy determination table 113a is 1 / 2733.1. Is set. As can be seen by comparing these winning probabilities, the winning probability per special figure by the special figure high-accuracy determination table 113b is 10 more than the probability winning per special figure by the special figure low-probability determination table 113a. Twice as expensive.

  It should be noted that the gaming state in which the special figure low probability determination table 113a is used in the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 to determine whether or not the special figure is hit or lost is the special figure normal gaming state in the present invention. The gaming state in which the time determination table 113b is used and the special figure per game or the loss is determined is the special figure high probability gaming state in the present invention. Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience, the “special figure normal gaming state” will be referred to as “special figure low probability”, and the “special figure high probability gaming state” will be referred to as “special figure high probability”.

  The hit type determining means 140 shown in FIG. 4 determines the type per special figure by normal lottery or probability variation by electronic lottery. The normal hit is the special figure normal gaming state in which the winning probability per special figure is low after the winning game is finished, that is, the special figure that becomes the above-mentioned "special figure low probability", and the probable hit is special after the winning game ends. This is a special figure high-probability gaming state in which the winning probability per figure is higher than the normal chance, that is, the special figure having the above-mentioned "Special figure high probability". Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the hit type determining means 140 sets the value of the loop counter to a predetermined range (0 in this embodiment) based on an interrupt signal periodically (for example, every 2 milliseconds). A random number for hit type 141 that generates a random number for hit type that is a software random number by updating by 1 in the range of an integer of .about.7003), and a game to the first start winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62 In response to the winning of a ball (based on the fact that a game ball detection signal from the first starting winning port detection sensor 91 or the second starting winning port detection sensor 92 is input to the main control device 100), a random number generating means for winning type 141, the hit type random number acquiring means 142 for acquiring (latching) the hit type random number generated in 141, and the hit type random number acquired by the hit type random number acquiring means 142 Based on the hit type determining means 143 for determining whether there is a certain chance or a winning change with reference to the hit type table 143a shown in FIG. 9, and based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 61 during the change of the special symbol When the hit type random number acquisition unit 142 acquires the hit type random number, the hit type random number is stored using the RAM of the main controller 100 up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). When the random number acquisition unit 142 for winning type acquires the random number for winning type based on the winning of the game ball to the second start winning port 62 during the variation of the special symbol, And a second hit type random number storage means 145 for storing up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment) of hit type random numbers using the RAM of the main controller 100. The winning type random numbers stored in the first special figure winning / randomizing storage means 114 and the winning type random numbers stored in the second special figure winning / randomizing storage means 115 are in order of winning, and the winning type determining means 143 normally Whether it is a hit or a probable hit is determined.

  The hit type table 143a defines the correspondence between the hit type random number and the type per special figure (normal hit, probability change). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, in the hit type table 143a, the probability variation hit is associated with the hit type random numbers 0 to 7003 in advance, and the normal hit is previously set with the hit type random numbers 7004 to 9999. It has been. The winning probability (probability change rate) per probability change according to the hit type table 143a is set to 70.04%.

  The normal symbol success / failure lottery means 160 shown in FIG. 4 determines the hitting or loss by the electronic lottery when the game ball passes through the through chucker 66. The normal symbol success / failure lottery means 160 is configured in the same manner as the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 described above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Generates a random number for normal / incorrect use that generates a random number for normal / incorrect use as a software random number by updating the value of the loop counter by 1 within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal that is input (for example, every 2 milliseconds) When the game ball passes through the means 161 and the through chucker 66, in other words, based on the fact that the game ball detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 95 is input to the main controller 100, It is acquired by the random number acquisition means 162 for normal / unusable random number acquisition means 162 for acquiring (latching) the random number for normal / unusual occurrence generated by the generating means 161. A normal figure success / failure determination unit 163 that determines whether the random number for normal / unusual is per common figure or whether it is lost or not with reference to the normal / low probability determination table 163a or the normal / high probability determination table 163b; When the random number acquisition unit 162 for normal or incorrect is acquired during the fluctuation of the symbol, the random number for normal or incorrect is acquired up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). There is provided a random number storage means 164 for normal / incorrect use for storing the reserved ball random numbers using the RAM of the main controller 100.

  The common figure low-accuracy determination table 163a and the common figure high-accuracy determination table 163b prescribe the correspondence relationship between the random numbers for rejecting the common figure and the common figure / losing, and the specific contents are not shown. However, the winning probability per ordinary figure according to the common figure high-accuracy determination table 163b is set to 1 / 1.1, and the winning probability per common figure according to the ordinary figure low-accuracy determination table 163a is set to 1/120. Has been. In other words, the normal figure high-accuracy determination table 163b is set to have a much higher probability of winning per normal figure than the normal figure low-accuracy determination table 163a. Wins per figure.

  In the following, for convenience, the game state in which the normal symbol low / high probability determination table 163a is used in the normal symbol success / failure lottery means 160 to determine whether the normal symbol hit or lose is referred to as “normal symbol low probability”. A gaming state in which the accuracy determination table 163b is used to determine whether or not the usual figure is reached or lost is referred to as “ordinary figure high probability”.

  The electric tulip control means 170 shown in FIG. 4 energizes the solenoid of the electric tulip 63 when an electronic lottery is performed by the normal symbol use lottery means 160, and the pair of blades of the electric tulip 63 is energized. The member is opened and closed. This electric tulip control means 170 opens the electric tulip 63 twice with an opening time of 2.9 seconds for each time of the normal map during the high accuracy of the normal diagram, On the other hand, the electric tulip 63 is opened once with an opening time of 0.2 seconds. In the ordinary high accuracy, as described above, the electronic tulip 63 is opened twice for 2.9 seconds on the basis of the winning in the electronic symbol lottery means 160 for the normal symbol. The player can easily win the game ball at the second start winning opening 62, and as a result, the player can play the game with almost no reduction of the game ball during the usual high accuracy. In other words, the usual high accuracy is a state (so-called electric support state) in which the electric tulip 63 is easily opened and the player is supported to win a game ball in the second start winning opening 62.

  The special symbol type determining means 130 shown in FIG. 4 determines the type of the special symbol that is stopped and displayed when hitting the special symbol from among a plurality of types of special symbols by electronic lottery. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the special symbol type determination unit 130 sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range (in this embodiment, based on an interrupt signal periodically (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Special symbol type random number generating means 131 for generating a random number for a special symbol type which is a software random number by updating them one by one in the range of an integer from 0 to 999, and the first start winning port 61 or the second starting winning port 62 Triggered by winning a game ball (based on a game ball detection signal from the first start winning port detection sensor 91 or the second start winning port detection sensor 92 being input to the main controller 100), for special symbol types The special symbol type random number acquisition unit 132 that acquires (latches) the special symbol type random number generated by the random number generation unit 131 and the special symbol type random number acquisition unit 132. Based on the special symbol type random number, the special symbol type selection means 133 that determines the type of the special symbol with reference to the special symbol type selection table 133a, and the game balls to the first start winning opening 61 during the variation of the special symbol When the special symbol type random number acquisition means 132 acquires the special symbol type random number based on the winning, the RAM of the main controller 100 is limited to the predetermined maximum symbol type random number (four in this embodiment). The first special symbol type random number storage means 134 to be used and stored, and the special symbol type random number acquisition unit 132 for the special symbol type based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning opening 62 during the variation of the special symbol A second special symbol type random number memory that stores the random number for the special symbol type up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment) using the RAM of the main controller 100 when the random number is acquired. And a 135. The special symbol type random number stored in the first special symbol type random number storage unit 134 and the special symbol type random number stored in the second special symbol type random number storage unit 135 are in the winning order, the special symbol type selecting unit. 133 is used to select a special symbol type.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the special symbol type selection table 133a defines the correspondence between the special symbol type random number and the special symbol type. There are six types of special symbols used in this embodiment: 5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B, 15R special symbol A, 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C, and 15R special symbol C, and the special symbol type. 5R special symbol A is previously associated with random numbers 0 to 249, 5R special symbol B is previously associated with random numbers 250 to 299 for special symbol types, and 15R special is allocated to random numbers 300 to 714 for special symbol types. Symbol A is associated in advance, special symbol type random numbers 715-809 are associated in advance with 15R special symbol B, and special symbol type random numbers 810-969 are associated in advance with 15R special symbol C. The special symbol type random numbers 970 to 999 are associated with the 15R special symbol D in advance. The selection probabilities of 5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B, 15R special symbol A, 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C, and 15R special symbol D by the special symbol type selection table 133a are 25%, 5%, and 41, respectively. .5%, 9.5%, 16%, and 3%, respectively. The selection probabilities are described for reference and are not included in the special symbol type selection table 133a.

  The 5R special symbol A, the 5R special symbol B, the 15R special symbol A, the 15R special symbol B, the 15R special symbol C, and the 15R special symbol D are associated with the type of the number of rounds of the winning game in advance. 5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B, 15R special symbol A, 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C, 15R special symbol D “5R” and “15R” are named “5 rounds”. It is an abbreviation of “15 rounds”, and is a type of the number of rounds of a winning game associated with the special symbol in advance. That is, the type of the number of rounds of the winning game is determined by determining the type of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display device 40 by electronic lottery.

  The hit game control means 150 shown in FIG. 4 opens and closes the attacker device 65 for five rounds when the special symbol type at the time of the special symbol is 5R special symbol A or 5R special symbol B, and hits the player to play a game. If the special symbol type is 15R special symbol A, 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C, or 15R special symbol D, the attacker device 65 is opened and closed for 15 rounds. A game is provided to a person.

  The game mode control means 180 controls the game mode. In this embodiment, there are five types of game modes: a normal mode, a large chance mode, an extra large chance mode, a hot mode, and a fierce hot mode.

  In the normal mode, the gaming state is a combination of low accuracy and low accuracy (hereinafter simply referred to as “low accuracy”), or a combination of high accuracy and low accuracy (hereinafter referred to as “internal accuracy”). ) Is a gaming mode set. In the large chance mode, the gaming state is a combination of low accuracy and high accuracy (hereinafter simply referred to as “short time”), or a combination of high accuracy and high accuracy (hereinafter simply referred to as “probability change”). And the upper limit (hereinafter referred to as “electric support number of times”) of the number of games related to special symbols with high accuracy is set to 9 times or 17 times. The hot mode is a gaming mode in which the gaming state is set to short or probable, and the number of electric support is set to 100 times. The extra-large chance mode and the intense game mode are game modes in which the game state is set to be probable and the electric support count is set to 10,000 times (until the next time). The extra large chance mode is a game mode that can be shifted only from the normal mode, and the intense hot mode is a game mode that can be shifted from the large chance mode, the extra large chance mode, and the hot mode (game modes other than the normal mode).

  Here, the number of electric support 10000 times (until the next time) is a very large number of times compared to other electric support times 9, 17, and 100 times. In this embodiment, the winning probability per special figure with a low special figure is 1 / 273.1, and the winning probability per special figure with a high special figure is 1 / 27.3. The special symbol winning lottery means 110 always wins per special symbol while the electronic lottery is performed 10,000 times. In other words, the number of electronic lotteries by the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 until winning the next special symbol does not exceed 10,000. Therefore, it can be said that setting the number of times of electric support to 10,000 times is equivalent to continuing the high accuracy until the next special drawing is won. That is, when the electric support number is set to 10000 times, the villa for the special figure is determined without substantially reducing the number of game balls. Note that “until next time” is an abbreviation for “until winning for the next special figure”.

  The game mode control means 180 is configured to set the number of times of electric support in the various game modes described above with reference to the electric support number setting table 180a shown in FIG. The electric support number setting table 180a defines the correspondence between the special symbol type, the game mode type, the type per special figure, and the electric support number type. Is set as follows:

  When the game mode when the 5R special symbol A or 15R special symbol A is won is the normal mode, the type per special symbol in the normal mode is the normal hit and the probability change hit, The number of electric support in the next game mode is set to nine. Also, if the game mode when winning 5R special symbol A or 15R special symbol A is the big chance mode, the hot mode, the special chance mode, or the fierce hot mode, the type per special figure in that gaming mode is normal In both cases, and in the case of probability variation, the number of times of electric support in the next game mode is set to 100 times.

  When the game mode when the 5R special symbol B is won is the normal mode, both in the case of the normal mode and the probability variation in the normal mode, the game mode in the next game mode The electric support number is set to 17 times. In addition, when the game mode when winning 5R special symbol B is the big chance mode, the hot mode, the extra big chance mode, or the fierce hot mode, the type per special figure in the gaming mode is a normal hit. In any case of winning, the number of times of power support in the next game mode is set to 100 times.

  When the game mode when the 15R special symbol B is won is the normal mode, both in the case of the normal mode and the probability variation in the normal mode, the game mode in the next game mode The number of electric support is set to 9 times. In addition, when the game mode when the 15R special symbol B is won is the large chance mode, the hot mode, the extra large chance mode, or the fierce hot mode, and the type of the special figure in the gaming mode is normal hit, The number of electric support in the game mode is set to 100 times. In addition, when the game mode when winning the 15R special symbol B is the large chance mode, the hot mode, the extra large chance mode, or the fierce hot mode, and the type per special figure in the gaming mode is a probable variation, The number of electric support in the game mode is set to 10,000 times (until the next time).

  When the game mode when the 15R special symbol C is won is the normal mode, both the case where the type per special figure in the normal mode is the normal hit and the case of the probable change is the next game mode. The electric support number is set to 17 times. In addition, when the game mode when the 15R special symbol C is won is the large chance mode, the hot mode, the special chance mode, or the fierce hot mode, and the type of the special figure in the gaming mode is normal hit, The number of electric support in the game mode is set to 100 times. In addition, when the game mode when the 15R special symbol C is won is a large chance mode, a hot mode, an extra large chance mode, or a fierce hot mode, and the type per special figure in the gaming mode is a probable variation, The number of electric support in the game mode is set to 10,000 times (until the next time).

  When the game mode when the 15R special symbol D is won is the normal mode and the type per special figure in the normal mode is normal, the number of times of electric support in the next game mode is set to 9 times. The In addition, when the game mode when the 15R special symbol D is won is the large chance mode, the hot mode, the special chance mode, or the fierce hot mode, and the type per special figure in the gaming mode is normal hit, The number of electric support in the game mode is set to 100 times. Also, when the game mode when the 15R special symbol D is won is the normal mode, the large chance mode, the hot mode, the extra large chance mode, or the fierce hot mode, and the type per special chart in the gaming mode is a probable hit Is set to 10,000 times (until next time) in the next game mode.

  Next, the flow of the game mode transition will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the type per special figure is determined per normal figure during the normal mode, the game mode control means 180 changes the game mode from the normal mode regardless of what the special symbol type is determined. The mode is shifted to the large chance mode ((A1) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition from the normal mode to the large chance mode, the game mode control means 180 shortens the gaming state based on the fact that the type per special figure determined in the normal mode is normal (the special figure is less accurate, The number of times of electric support is set to 9 or 17 based on the type of special symbol determined in the normal mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, in the normal mode, the type per special symbol is determined per normal, and the special symbol type is 5R special symbol A, 15R special symbol A, 15R special symbol B. Or, when it is determined to be 15R special symbol D, the number of electric support is set to 9 and the type per special symbol is determined per normal in the normal mode, and the special symbol type is 5R special symbol B. Alternatively, when the 15R special symbol C is determined, the electric support number is set to 17 times.

  In addition, when the special symbol type is determined to be probable at the time of special symbol hit in the normal mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be other than 15R special symbol D, the game mode control means 180 also The game mode is shifted from the normal mode to the large chance mode ((A1) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition from the normal mode to the large chance mode, the game mode control means 180 changes the game state based on the fact that the type per special figure determined in the normal mode is a probable change (special figure high accuracy, The number of times of electric support is set to 9 or 17 based on the type of special symbol determined in the normal mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, in the normal mode, the type per special symbol is determined to be probable, and the special symbol type is 5R special symbol A, 15R special symbol A, or 15R special symbol B. In the case where the number of support is set to 9 and the type per special symbol is determined per probability change in the normal mode, the special symbol type is 5R special symbol B or 15R special symbol C. In the case where it is decided, the number of electric support is set to 17 times.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol type is determined to be probable when the special symbol is hit in the normal mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol D, the game mode control means 180 determines the game mode. Is shifted from the normal mode to the extra-large chance mode ((A2) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition from the normal mode to the extra-large chance mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the gaming state to be surely changed and sets the number of times of electric support to 10,000 times (until the next time) as shown in FIG.

  If the type per special figure is determined for the special figure during the big chance mode, the game mode control means 180 will make the game mode a big chance regardless of what the special symbol type is determined. The mode is changed to the hot mode ((B1) in FIG. 14). Also, when the special symbol type is determined to be probable at the time of special symbol during the big chance mode, and the special symbol type is determined as 5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B or 15R special symbol A However, the game mode control means 180 shifts the game mode from the large chance mode to the hot mode ((B1) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition from the large chance mode to the hot mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the gaming state to be short-time or certain depending on the type per special figure determined in the large chance mode (normal hit, probability change). At the same time, as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol type is determined to be probable when the special symbol is hit in the large chance mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C, or 15R special symbol D. The game mode control means 180 shifts the game mode from the large chance mode to the intense game mode ((B2) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition to the game mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the game state to be probable and sets the electric support number to 10,000 times (until the next time) as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when the special symbol type is determined for the special symbol during the special chance mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the game mode regardless of what the special symbol type is determined. The oversized chance mode is shifted to the hot mode ((C1) in FIG. 14). Also, when the special symbol type is determined to be probable at the time of special symbol during the extra large chance mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be 5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B or 15R special symbol A In addition, the game mode control means 180 shifts the game mode from the extra-large chance mode to the hot mode ((C1) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition from these extra-large chance modes to the hot-out mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the gaming state to be shorter or more probable based on the type per special figure determined in the extra-large chance mode (normal hit / probable hit). At the same time, as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol type is determined to be probable at the time of special symbol hit in the extra large chance mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C or 15R special symbol D The game mode control means 180 shifts the game mode from the oversized chance mode to the intense game mode ((C2) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition to the game mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the game state to be probable and sets the electric support number to 10,000 times (until the next time) as shown in FIG.

  When the special figure type is determined for the special figure during the hot mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the game mode to the hot mode regardless of what the special symbol type is determined. Maintain ((D1) in FIG. 14). In addition, when the special symbol type is determined to be probable at the time of special symbol during the hot mode, the special symbol type is determined to be 5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B, or 15R special symbol A. The game mode control means 180 maintains the game mode in the hot mode ((D1) in FIG. 14). When maintaining these hot modes, the game mode control means 180 changes the game state in the current hot mode based on the type of special figure determined in the previous hot mode (normal hit, probability change) in a short time or a certain change. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 13, the number of times of electric support is set to 100 again.

  On the other hand, when the type of special symbol is determined to be probable when the special symbol is hit in the hot mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C, or 15R special symbol D The game mode control means 180 shifts the game mode from the hot mode to the hot mode ((D2) in FIG. 14). At the time of the transition to the game mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the game state to be probable and sets the electric support number to 10,000 times (until the next time) as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when the special figure type is determined for the special figure during the special game mode, the game mode control means 180 activates the game mode regardless of what the special symbol type is determined. The mode is changed from the hot mode to the hot mode ((E1) in FIG. 14). In addition, when the type of special symbol is determined to be probable at the time of special symbol per Gekiatsu mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be 5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B or 15R special symbol A The game mode control means 180 shifts the game mode from the intense hot mode to the hot hot mode ((E1) in FIG. 14). At the time of transition from these intense hot mode to the hot hot mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the gaming state to short or positive based on the type per special figure determined in the intense hot mode (normal hit, probability change), As shown in FIG. 13, the number of electric support is set to 100 times.

  On the other hand, when the type of special symbol is determined to be probable at the time of special symbol per Gekiatsu mode, and the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C or 15R special symbol D The game mode control means 180 maintains the game mode in the intense game mode ((E2) in FIG. 14). At the time of maintaining the intense game mode, the game mode control means 180 sets the game state to be probable and sets the number of times of electric support to 10,000 times (until the next time) as shown in FIG.

  In addition, if 9 times or 17 times of electric support is exhausted without winning per special map in the big chance mode, and 100 times of electric support is made without winning per special figure in the hot chance mode When digested, the game mode returns to the normal mode ((F) or (G) in FIG. 14). However, the gaming state (special figure low probability or special figure high probability) related to the special symbol in the large chance mode or the hot mode is inherited also in the normal mode after the transition.

  Since the game mode is thus shifted, the game characteristics of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment are as follows.

  There are two game modes that can be shifted from the normal mode: a large chance mode and an extra large chance mode. In the large chance mode, the number of times of electric support is set to 9 or 17 times that is significantly smaller than 100 times or 10,000 times (until the next time), so for the player, the number of times of electric support is 9 or 17 times. It is difficult to win a special figure within the range, so the game mode often returns from the large chance mode to the normal mode through the route “F”. However, if the winning mode is won per special chart in the big chance mode and the game mode shifts to the hot mode on the route “B1”, the player can acquire 100 times of electric support, that is, almost all the game balls The right to play a game related to a special symbol up to 100 times can be acquired without reducing. If the player can loop the special figure in the hot mode (repeating the route (D1) in FIG. 14), the player will acquire 100 times of electric support each time the loop, Since winning games can be repeated without reduction, many prize balls can be obtained. In other words, in the game characteristics of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the large chance mode is positioned as a game mode that gives the player an opportunity to step up to the hot mode, and the game mode for the player is the large chance mode. Whether or not it is possible to shift from the hot mode to the hot mode is a turning point for winning a large number of prize balls.

  In addition, the probability that the game mode shifts from the normal mode to the extra-large chance mode on the route “A2” is 2.1% (the probability that the type per special figure is determined per probability change is 70.04%, the type of special symbol) Is the probability that 15R special symbol D is determined by multiplying by 3%), which is much lower than the 97.9% probability that the game mode shifts from the normal mode to the large chance mode. In the chance mode, the player can win the next special figure with almost no reduction in game balls. If the game mode is changed to the intense game mode with the route “C2” along with the next special figure, the player can win the next special figure almost without reducing the number of game balls again. Because it is possible to play many consecutive balls, it is the most efficient in obtaining many prize balls. However, even if the player moves to the hot mode on the “C1” route, the player can obtain 100 electric support times. . In other words, in the game characteristics of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the game mode shifts from the normal mode to the extra large chance mode, the special mode per game is better than when the game mode shifts from the normal mode to the large chance mode. It becomes easy to create a flow of game mode transition that is advantageous for consecutive play, that is, advantageous for winning a prize ball.

  The special symbol variation pattern lottery means 120 shown in FIG. 4 determines the special diagram variation pattern by electronic lottery from among a plurality of types of variation patterns. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the special symbol variation pattern lottery means 120 sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range (this embodiment) based on an interrupt signal periodically (for example, every 2 milliseconds). In the embodiment, the special figure variation pattern random number generating means 121 for generating the special figure variation pattern random number which is a software random number by updating each by 1 in the range of 0 to 29 in the form, and the first start winning opening 61 or the second Triggered by the winning of a game ball in the start winning port 62 (based on the game ball detection signal from the first start winning port detecting sensor 91 or the second starting winning port detecting sensor 92 being input to the main controller 100) , Special figure fluctuation pattern random number acquisition means 122 for acquiring (latching) the special figure fluctuation pattern random number generated by the special figure fluctuation pattern random number generation means 121, and the special figure fluctuation pattern A special figure fluctuation pattern for selecting a special figure fluctuation pattern with reference to any one of the first to fifth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123e based on the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern acquired by the random number acquisition means 122 When the special figure variation pattern random number obtaining means 122 obtains the special figure variation pattern random number based on the selection means 123 and the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 61 during the variation of the special symbol, the special figure The first special figure variation pattern random number storage means 124 for storing the random numbers for acceptance / rejection up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in the present embodiment) using the RAM of the main controller 100, and the first special figure variation pattern random number storage means 124 during the variation of the special symbol 2 When the special figure variation pattern random number obtaining means 122 obtains the special figure success / failure random number based on the winning of the game ball at the start winning opening 62, the special figure success / failure random number is set to a predetermined upper limit number (in this embodiment). 4) to utilize the main controller 100 of the RAM and a second especially diagram fluctuation pattern random number memory unit 125 for storing. The special figure fluctuation pattern random numbers stored in the first special figure fluctuation pattern random number storage means 124 and the special figure fluctuation pattern random numbers stored in the second special figure fluctuation pattern random number storage means 125 are in the winning order. The figure fluctuation pattern selection means 123 is used for selecting a special figure fluctuation pattern.

  Each of the first to fifth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123e includes a special figure fluctuation pattern random number, a special figure fluctuation pattern No. Is defined. Special figure fluctuation pattern No. Is previously associated with the type of special figure variation pattern (including variation time).

  As shown in FIG. 16, the first to fifth variation pattern tables 123a to 123e are associated in advance with the above-described five types of game modes, respectively. Specifically, the first special figure fluctuation pattern table 123a is associated in advance with the normal mode, the second special figure fluctuation pattern table 123b is associated with the large chance mode, and the third special figure fluctuation pattern table is obtained. 123c is associated in advance with the extra large chance mode, the fourth special figure variation pattern table 123d is associated in advance with the hot mode, and the fifth special figure variation pattern table 123e is associated with the intense hot mode in advance. . And the special figure fluctuation pattern selection means 123 refers to any one of the first to fifth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123e associated with the game mode at the time of determining the special figure fluctuation pattern. Thus, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined.

  An outline of the first to fifth special figure variation pattern tables 123a to 123e is shown in FIG. In the first special figure variation pattern table 123a, a main variation time of 12 seconds (a variation time excluding the reach time) is associated with 0 to 2 reserved storage numbers in advance, and 7 to 3 reserved storage numbers. The main fluctuation time of seconds is associated in advance, and the main fluctuation time of 4 seconds is associated in advance with the number of the four stored storages. In the first special figure fluctuation pattern table 123a, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is set to 30 seconds to 120 seconds. The number of reserved storage is the number of random numbers for special figure success / failure stored as a retained ball random number by the first special figure success / failure random number storage means 114 or the second special figure success / failure random number storage means 115. The fluctuation time is a fluctuation time when the reach effect of the effect symbol is performed.

  In the second special figure variation pattern table 123b, the main variation time of 12 seconds is pre-associated with all of the reserved storage numbers 0 to 4, and the variation time at reach is set to 30 seconds to 120 seconds. Yes.

  In the third special figure fluctuation pattern table 123c and the fifth special figure fluctuation pattern table 123e, the number of reserved storages is 0, the main fluctuation time of 7 seconds is associated with one in advance, and the number of reserved memories 2 to 4 The main variation time of 4 seconds is associated with each in advance. In the third special figure fluctuation pattern table 123c and the fifth special figure fluctuation pattern table 123e, the reach time fluctuation times are all set to 30 seconds.

  In the fourth special figure variation pattern table 123d, the main variation time of 12 seconds is associated with 0 reserved storage numbers in advance, and the main variation time of 7 seconds is associated with 1 reserved storage number in advance. The main variation time of 4 seconds is associated in advance with the number of 2 to 4 reserved memories. In the fourth special figure variation pattern table 123d, the variation time at reach is set to 30 seconds to 120 seconds.

  In the first to fifth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123e, the stop time is set to 0.5 seconds. This stop time is the time when the special symbol stop is determined.

  As described above, the third special figure fluctuation pattern table 123c is used in the extra large chance mode, and the fifth special figure fluctuation pattern table 123e is used in the intense hot mode. These third and fifth special figure variation pattern tables 123c and 123c are used in the game mode in which the game state is always set to be probable, that is, the game mode in which the special figure is always linked. In these extra-large chance modes and intense hot modes, winning for the next special chart has been confirmed, so it is preferable for the player to win the next special chart earlier. Therefore, in the first, second, and fourth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a, 123b, and 123d, the main fluctuation time is set to 12 seconds, 7 seconds, and 4 seconds, and the reach time fluctuation time is set to 30 to 120 seconds. On the other hand, in the third and fifth variation pattern tables 123c and 123e, the main variation time is set to 7 seconds and 4 seconds, and the reach time variation time is set to only 30 seconds. The game progresses faster than other game modes.

  Details of the first to fifth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123e will be described by taking the fourth special figure fluctuation pattern table 123d as an example, and the first to third special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123c, The detailed description of 123e is omitted.

  The special pattern variation pattern table 123d and the special symbol variation pattern table 123d are divided into special symbol variation cases and lost cases based on the result of electronic lottery by the special symbol variation pattern lottery means 120. In order to perform electronic lottery of the fluctuation pattern, it is composed of a fourth special figure fluctuation pattern table 123d-1 for special figure shown in FIG. 18 and a fourth special figure fluctuation pattern table 123d-2 for loss shown in FIG. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the special figure variation pattern table 123d-1, the special figure variation pattern random numbers 0 to 3 are assigned special pattern variation pattern Nos. 1 (variation time 30 seconds) is associated in advance and the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 2 (variation time 30 seconds) is associated in advance, and the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 3 (variation time 60 seconds) is previously associated, and the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 4 (variation time 60 seconds) is associated in advance, and the special figure fluctuation pattern random numbers 16 to 19 are associated with the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 5 (variation time 90 seconds) is previously associated, and the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 6 (variation time 90 seconds) is previously associated, and the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 7 (120 seconds) is associated in advance, and the special figure variation pattern No. 8 (variation time 120 seconds) is associated in advance, and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 28 is assigned to the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 9 (variation time 120 seconds) is previously associated, and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 29 is assigned to the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 10 (variation time 120 seconds) is associated in advance.

  In the variation pattern table 123d-1, the special variation pattern No. 9, no. No. 10 has a corresponding relationship with a specific special pattern variation pattern according to the present invention. 1-No. Reference numeral 8 denotes a correspondence relationship with a non-specific variation pattern for a special figure that is different from the specific variation pattern for a special figure. That is, the special symbol variation pattern lottery means 120 determines the variation pattern of the special symbol per special symbol as a variation pattern for a specific special symbol and a non-specific special pattern different from the variation pattern for the specific special symbol. It is determined by electronic lottery from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for special drawings composed of variation patterns for each figure.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the fourth special figure variation pattern table 123 d-2 for losing is the table 123 d-21 for the reserved storage number 0 that is referred to when the reserved storage number is 0, and the reserved storage number is 1 1 table 123d-22 for the number of reserved storages referred to in the case of two, and a table 123d-23 for the number of reserved storage numbers of 2 to 4 referred to when the number of reserved storage is 2-4 Has been.

  In the table 123d-21 for the reserved storage number 0, the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 11 (fluctuation time of 12 seconds) is a special figure fluctuation pattern No. 12 (variation time 12 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 13 (variation time 12 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random numbers 24 and 25. 14 (variation time 30 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 15 (variation time 60 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 28. 16 (variation time 90 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 28. 17 (variation time 120 seconds) is associated in advance.

  In the table 123d-22 for one reserved storage number, the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 18 (fluctuation time of 7 seconds) is a special figure fluctuation pattern random number 8 to 15 and a special figure fluctuation pattern No. 19 (fluctuation time of 7 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random numbers 16 to 23. 20 (fluctuation time of 7 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 14 (variation time 30 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 15 (variation time 60 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 28. 16 (variation time 90 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 28. 17 (variation time 120 seconds) is associated in advance.

  In the table 123d-23 for the number of reserved storages 2-4, the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 21 (fluctuation time 4 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 22 (fluctuation time 4 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random numbers 16 to 23. 23 (variation time 4 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 14 (variation time 30 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 15 (variation time 60 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 28. 16 (variation time 90 seconds) is the special figure fluctuation pattern random number 28. 17 (variation time 120 seconds) is associated in advance.

  Although the detailed description of the first to third and fifth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123c and 123d is omitted, the special figure fluctuation pattern Nos. In the special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123c and 123d are omitted. Is a special figure variation pattern No. corresponding to a specific special figure variation pattern in the present invention. 9, no. 10 so as not to include No. 10. 1-No. 8, no. 11-No. 23.

  The special symbol control processing unit 300 (special symbol control means) is a special symbol per unit or information that is transmitted from the main control device 100, and a special symbol type (5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B, 15R special). Based on the design A, 15R special design B, 15R special design C or 15R special design D) and the special design variation pattern (variation pattern No.) The symbol display device 40 is controlled.

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol type is determined by an electronic lottery that is different from the special symbol type, and the number of rounds of the winning game is determined by the special symbol type electronic lottery. In this case, a special symbol including information on the number of rounds but not including information on the type per special figure is displayed. Accordingly, the player can grasp the number of rounds of the winning game by looking at the special symbol, but cannot determine the type of segment per special symbol.

  The effect control processing unit 200 is information transmitted from the main control device 100 or a special figure per game, a special symbol type, a special symbol variation pattern (special diagram variation pattern No.), and the current gaming state. And a background determination unit 210 that determines the background to be displayed on the effect display device 50 based on the determination result. The background determination unit 210 includes a background table 211 that defines a correspondence relationship between a preset game mode type and a background image type, and is displayed on the effect display device 50 with reference to the background table 211. The background image to be determined is determined. As shown in FIG. 20, in the background table 211, the normal mode is associated with the normal background image, the first chance background image, and the second chance background image in advance, and the large chance mode has a large chance. The background image is associated in advance, the oversized chance mode is associated with the oversized chance background image in advance, the hot mode is preliminarily associated with the oversized chance background image, and the overheated mode has the overheated background. Images are associated in advance. These background images are easy to distinguish, so the player can determine the current game mode by looking at the background images. As a result, the player expects that the gaming state is more probable when the large chance background image or the hot background image is displayed than the normal background image, the first chance background image, or the second chance background image. The game can be continued while the player is convinced that the gaming state is certain when the oversized chance background image or the intense background image is displayed.

  In addition, the background determination unit 210 selects the first background image that is displayed in the normal mode when the game mode is shifted from the large chance mode to the normal mode and when the game mode is shifted from the hot mode to the normal mode. The second chance background image is determined by electronic lottery. In the electronic lottery, the second chance background image is lower when the game state in the normal mode is incomprehensible (high accuracy of special figure, low accuracy of ordinary figure) than in the case of low probability (low accuracy of special figure, low accuracy of ordinary figure). It is set to be easy to win. This makes it possible for the player to have a deeper expectation that the gaming state is promising than when the first chance background image is displayed when the second background image is displayed.

  In addition, when the number of games related to the special symbol is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (5 in the present embodiment) with the second chance background image displayed, the background determination unit 210 sets the background image as the first chance background image. A drop-down lottery, which is an electronic lottery of switching to, or continuing to display the second chance background image, is performed. In the falling lottery, the switching from the second chance background image to the first chance background screen is performed, that is, the falling is performed when the gaming state is low probability (special figure low probability, ordinary figure low probability) than in the case of the internal probability. Easy to set. Further, when the number of games related to the special symbol is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (5 in this embodiment) with the first chance background image displayed, the background determination unit 210 displays the background image as the first chance. A promotion lottery is performed to continue display of the background image or to switch to the second chance background image. This promotion lottery is set so that the switching from the first chance background image to the second chance background image is more easily performed when the gaming state is in-probability than in the case of low probability. By the falling lottery and promotion lottery, the background image is switched between the first chance background image and the second chance background image, or the display of the first or second chance background image is continued, It is possible to make the player think that the game state is certain to be rich, or to make the player think that the game state is dense is rich.

  Furthermore, when the number of times of electronic lottery by the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 is greater than 5 times or more than the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 10 times) from the time of transition from the large chance mode or the hot mode to the normal mode The background determination means 210 is an electronic lottery that is different from the above-described falling lottery that is to maintain the state in which the first chance background image or the second chance background image is displayed or to switch to the state in which the normal background image is displayed. Is supposed to do. This falling lottery is set so that the switching from the first or second chance background image to the normal background screen, that is, the falling, is more easily performed than when the gaming state is low probability. Thus, when the background image is switched to the normal background image, it is indicated to the player that the gaming state is less accurate than the inward certainty and is richer than when the first chance background image is displayed. It can be reminiscent.

  Further, the background determination means 210 is an electronic lottery that determines whether or not to switch the normal background image to the first or second chance background image when the number of games related to the special symbol reaches 5 after falling to the normal background screen. A different promotion lottery will be held. This promotion lottery is set so that switching from the normal background image to the first or second chance background image is more easily performed when the gaming state is inward than in the case of low probability.

  Further, the effect control processing unit 200 is a special symbol type (5R special symbol A, 5R special symbol B, 15R special symbol A, 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C) which is information transmitted from the main control device 100. Or 15R special symbol D), special figure fluctuation pattern (one of fluctuation patterns No. 1 to No. 23), and the type of special figure determined by the hit type determination means 140 (normal hit or probability change hit) ), The effect display device 50 is controlled so that the effect symbol starts to change and stops substantially in synchronization with the special symbol.

  The effect control processing unit 200 determines an aspect of the effect symbol to be displayed stopped, that is, a stop symbol of the effect symbol, based on the information related to the display of the effect symbol transmitted from the main control device 100. Yes. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the effect control processing unit 200 determines that the special symbol type is determined as 5R special symbol A or 5R special symbol B at the time of hitting the special symbol in any game mode. No matter whether the type per special figure is determined to be a normal hit or a probability change, any one of “222”, “444”, “666” and “888” is stopped by electronic lottery. The design is decided. In addition, in any game mode, when the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol A at any game mode, the production control processing unit 200 determines that the type per special symbol is normal hit and probability hit. In any case, any one of “111”, “333”, and “555” is determined as a stop symbol of the effect symbol by electronic lottery. In addition, when the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol B or 15R special symbol C at the time of special symbol hit in the normal mode, the effect control processing unit 200 determines that the type per special symbol is normal hit and probability hit. In any case, any one of “111”, “333”, and “555” is determined as a stop symbol of the effect symbol by electronic lottery. In addition, when the special symbol type is determined to be the 15R special symbol D at the time of special symbol hit in the normal mode, the effect control processing unit 200 sets “111” only when the type per special symbol is determined to be normal hit. ”,“ 333 ”and“ 555 ”are determined to be stop symbols of the effect symbols by electronic lottery. In addition, the effect control processing unit 200 has a special symbol type of 15R special symbol B, 15R special symbol C, or 15R special at the time of special symbol other than the normal mode, that is, in the large chance mode, the hot mode, the extra large chance mode, or the intense hot mode. When the symbol D is determined, only one of “111”, “333”, and “555” is selected as a stop symbol of the effect symbol by electronic lottery only when the type per special symbol is determined for the normal symbol. It comes to decide.

  In this way, the stop symbol of the effect symbol is determined to be “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, “111”, “333”, “555”. After the symbols “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, “111”, “333” or “555” are displayed, the transition from the normal mode to the large chance mode, the large chance mode To the hot mode, the transition from the oversized chance mode to the hot mode, the transition from the intense mode to the hot mode, and the continuation of the hot mode. Since the stop symbols “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, “111”, “333”, and “555” are displayed in both the normal hit and the probability change hits. When the player sees the stop symbols “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, “111”, “333”, “555” of the effect symbol at the time of hitting the special symbol, It is not possible to determine whether the gaming state of the game mode is short (special figure low accuracy, general figure high accuracy) or probability change (special figure high accuracy, normal high accuracy).

  In addition, the effect control processing unit 200 is in the case where the special symbol type is determined to be 15R special symbol D at the time of the special symbol during the normal mode, and in the large chance mode, the hot mode, the extra large chance mode, or the intense hot mode When the special symbol type at the time of the special symbol is determined to be the 15R special symbol B, the 15R special symbol C, or the 15R special symbol D, it is “777” only when the type per special symbol is determined to be the probability variation. Is determined as the stop symbol of the production symbol.

  Since the stop symbol of the effect symbol is determined to be “777” in this way, after the stop symbol “777” of the effect symbol is displayed, the transition from the normal mode to the extra large chance mode, The transition from the chance mode to the intense hot mode, the transition from the hot mode to the intense hot mode, the transition from the oversized chance mode to the intense hot mode, or the continuation of the intense hot mode is performed. In other words, when the stop symbol “777” of the production symbol is displayed, the game state is set to be probable, and the game mode (extra-chance mode, intense game mode) in which the number of electric support is set to 10,000 times (until next time) is transferred. The player will be notified of this.

  In addition, when the result of the electronic lottery by the special symbol success / failure lottery means 110 is lost and the production pattern is reach, only the central number of the three numbers is displayed in the production control processing unit 200. Prepared in advance so that the reach numbers “121” and “454”, etc., which are different from the two, become the stop symbols of the effect pattern, or when the effect pattern is not reach, all three numbers become different lose eyes. In addition, it is determined by electronic lottery from a plurality of types of stop symbols for losing.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the effect control processing unit 200 in the present embodiment is determined by the variation pattern (variation pattern No.) determined by the special symbol variation pattern lottery means 120 and the hit type determination means 140. An effect pattern selection unit 220 and a replacement unit 230 are provided for determining an effect pattern (effect pattern variation pattern) based on the type of special figure (normal hit or probability change).

  The effect pattern selection means 220 is a special drawing variation pattern No. And an effect pattern table 221 for defining the correspondence between the effect pattern types and the effect pattern table 221 to select an effect pattern. The effect pattern table 221 includes a special-effects effect pattern table 221a shown in FIG. 22 and a loss effect effect pattern table 221b shown in FIG. In the special pattern per effect pattern table 221a shown in FIG. 1 is previously associated with short reach A (variation time 30 seconds). 2 is associated with a short reach B (variation time 30 seconds) in advance. 3 is associated in advance with middle reach A (variation time 60 seconds). 4 is associated in advance with middle reach B (variation time 60 seconds). 5 is associated with long reach A (variation time 90 seconds) in advance. 6 is associated with a long reach B (variation time of 90 seconds) in advance. 7 is associated with Super Reach A (variation time 120 seconds) in advance. 8 is associated in advance with Super Reach B (variation time 120 seconds). 9 is associated with the full rotation reach A (variation time 120 seconds) in advance. 10 is associated in advance with a full rotation reach B (variation time 120 seconds). These production patterns are different from each other, the full rotation reach A and B are production patterns for probability variation, and the others are production patterns for special figures that are used for both normal and probability variations. .

  In other words, the production pattern selection means 220 includes a production pattern for probability variation (full rotation reach A and B) associated with a specific variation pattern for special figure (special illustration variation pattern No. 9, No. 10), It is an effect pattern different from the probability variation effect pattern, and is associated with a non-specific special pattern variation pattern (special variation pattern No. 1 to No. 8) in advance, and is used for both normal and probable variation. Types of productions consisting of special patterns per special figure (Short Reach A, Short Reach B, Middle Reach A, Middle Reach B, Long Reach A, Long Reach B, Super Reach A, Super Reach B) A variation pattern of the effect design at the time of hitting the special diagram is selected from the patterns.

  In the loss effect pattern table 221b shown in FIG. 11 is associated in advance with a loss variation A (variation time 12 seconds). 12 is associated in advance with a loss fluctuation B (fluctuation time of 12 seconds). 13 is associated with the loss variation C (variation time 12 seconds). Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 14 is associated with short reach C (variation time 30 seconds) in advance. 15 is previously associated with middle reach C (variation time 60 seconds). 16 is associated with a long reach C (variation time 90 seconds) in advance. 17 is associated with super reach C (variation time 120 seconds). Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 18 is associated with a loss fluctuation D (fluctuation time of 7 seconds) in advance, and the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 19 is associated with a loss variation E (variation time 7 seconds) in advance, and the special figure variation pattern No. 20 is associated with a loss fluctuation F (fluctuation time of 7 seconds). Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern No. 21 is associated with a loss variation G (variation time 4 seconds) in advance. 22 is associated with a loss variation H (variation time 4 seconds) in advance. 23 is associated with loss variation I (variation time 4 seconds).

  The replacement unit 230 includes a replacement table 231. In this replacement table 231, as shown in FIG. 24, the super-reach A set at the same fluctuation time (120 seconds) as the full-revolution reach A is associated with the full-revolution reach A, The reach B is associated with the super reach B set at the same fluctuation time (120 seconds) as the full rotation reach B. As described above, the full-rotation reach A and B are probable variation effect patterns associated with specific variation patterns for special drawings (special variation patterns No. 9 and No. 10). , B are special pattern hitting effect patterns that are commonly used at the time of hitting and probability hitting.

  Then, the replacement means 230 is used when the hit type determining means 140 determines the type per special figure as a normal hit, and the effect pattern selecting means 220 selects the full rotation reach A or B which is the effect pattern for probability variation. With reference to the replacement table 231 in a limited manner, the effect pattern for probability variation is replaced with Super Reach A or B which is the effect pattern for special figure set at the same variation time (120 seconds). Yes.

  In this way, in the effect control processing unit 200 including the effect pattern selecting means 220 and the replacement means 230, the type per special figure is determined by the hit type determining means 140, and the effect pattern selecting means 220 is used for the probability change hit. Except when the production pattern (full rotation reach A or B) is selected, the production pattern for probability variation (full rotation reach A or B) selected by the production pattern selection means 220 or the production pattern for special figure (short reach) A, Short Reach B, Middle Reach A, Middle Reach B, Long Reach A, Long Reach B, Super Reach A or Super Reach B). And the effect pattern selection means 220 determines the effect pattern for probability variation (full rotation When you select the switch A or B) is adapted to display the performance symbol in Japanese view per a presentation pattern after replacement by replacing unit 230 (super reach A or B).

  The flow of processing related to the replacement of the effect pattern performed by the effect control processing unit 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the effect control processing unit 200 is determined by the special symbol variation pattern (one of variation patterns No. 1 to No. 23) determined by the special symbol variation pattern lottery means 120 and the hit type determination means 140. The type (per normal or probable) per special map is received from main controller 100 (step S1).

  Next, in the effect control processing unit 200, the effect pattern selection means 220 refers to the effect pattern table 221, and the special figure variation pattern No. received this time. An effect pattern having a corresponding relationship is selected (step S2).

  Next, in the effect control processing unit 200, the replacement unit 230 determines whether or not the effect pattern selected by the effect pattern selection unit 220 is full rotation reach A or B (step S3). If the result of this determination is that the effect pattern selected by the effect pattern selection means 220 is neither full-reach reach A nor B (NO in step S3), that effect pattern is determined as the current effect pattern (step S4). Then, the effect control processing unit 200 starts changing the effect symbol with the effect pattern (step S5), and then stops changing the effect symbol (step S6).

  In the case of YES in step S3, that is, when the effect pattern selected by the effect pattern selection means 220 is full rotation reach A or B, the replacement means 230 determines whether or not the type per special figure is a positive change. Is determined (step S7). If the result of this determination is that the type per special figure is a probable variation (YES in step S7), the full rotation reach A or B is determined as the current effect pattern (step S4). Then, the effect control processing unit 200 starts changing the effect symbol at the full rotation reach A or B (step S5), and then stops changing the effect symbol (step S6).

  In the case of NO in step S7, that is, when the type per special figure is normal hit instead of probability variation, the replacement means 230 refers to the replacement table 231 to determine the full rotation reach A or B. Are replaced with the super reach A or B, and the super reach A or B after the replacement is determined to be the current effect pattern (step S8). Then, the effect control processing unit 200 starts changing the effect symbol at the super reach A or B (step S5), and then stops changing the effect symbol (step S6). Thereby, it is avoided that the effect symbol fluctuates in the full rotation reach A or B which is the effect pattern for probability variation even though the type per special symbol is normal.

  It should be noted that the special figure variation pattern No. 9 and the special figure variation pattern No. corresponding to the full rotation reach B. 10 is in the fourth and special figure fluctuation pattern table 123d, and in the first to third and fifth special figure fluctuation pattern tables 123a to 123c, 123e other than the fourth and special figure fluctuation pattern table 123d. As described above, the special figure variation patterns No. 9 and No. 10 is not included, the change of the effect symbol in the full rotation reach A and B is performed only in the hot mode in which the fourth and special figure variation pattern table 123d is referred to.

  According to the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the effect control processing unit 200 (effect control means) determines the type per special figure by the hit type determination means 140 and the current pattern by the effect pattern selection means 220. Only when the full-rotation reach A or B, which is an effect pattern for probability variation, is selected as the effect pattern, that is, the full-rotation reach that is the effect pattern for probability variation even though the special figure is per normal hit Only when A or B is selected, the super-reach A or B with the full rotation reach A or B set to the same fluctuation time (120 seconds) (effect pattern for special figure (normal variation with normal hit time) The effect pattern is also replaced with the super-reach A or B. In other words, the production pattern other than the full rotation reach A and B, which is the production pattern for probability variation, that is, the production pattern for each special figure (short reach A, short reach B, middle reach A, middle reach B, long When Reach A, Long Reach B, Super Reach A or Super Reach B) is selected, regardless of whether the type per special figure is normal or probable, the production pattern for that special figure will be displayed. When the full rotation reach A or B, which is an effect pattern for probability variation, is selected as the current performance pattern, the total rotation reach A is limited to the case where the type per special figure is probability variation. Alternatively, the effect symbol is displayed with B (probability variation effect pattern). As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment changes the production symbol, the full rotation reach A or B (probability variation production pattern) for informing the confirmation of the probability variation is used, and the type per special figure is the probability variation. Although it is not determined to be used, it is possible to avoid the situation of use.
