Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that performs a prefetch notice effect.

  In general, a pachinko machine has a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol, an effect display device that displays a predetermined effect, a starting point that triggers an electronic lottery related to the special symbol, and an electronic symbol that relates to a normal symbol. There are through-chuckers that trigger the lottery, electric tulips that open and close at the entrance of the start opening, and when a game ball launched toward the game area wins the start opening, an electronic lottery related to a special symbol is performed. At the same time, the special symbol display device displays the mode in which the special symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped to notify the result of the electronic lottery. Therefore, the time required for a game related to one special symbol is determined by the variation time of the special symbol.

  The variation time of the special symbol is usually according to the variation pattern command determined by lottery by the variation pattern command determining means. The variation pattern command determining means refers to a variation pattern table associated in advance according to a result of whether or not a special symbol is matched among a plurality of variation pattern tables in which various variation times are defined, and for each game. The fluctuation pattern command is determined.

  For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a variation pattern table. Patent Document 1 discloses a normal fluctuation pattern table in which the fluctuation time is defined as, for example, 5 seconds or 15 seconds according to the number of held balls, and a very short time, such as 0.5 seconds, regardless of the number of held balls. A pachinko machine having a special variation pattern table defined in the above is described. Then, in the case of shifting to the game state with a short time after the jackpot game (the state in which the electric tulip is easy to open), the special variation pattern table is used in the game state with the first time from the jackpot game to the 10th variation. A normal variation pattern table is used in the game state with the second time reduction after the variation. According to Patent Document 1, it is possible to advance a game from the big hit game to the 10th change in a very short time.

  By the way, in recent years, pachinko machines that perform a so-called “prefetching notice effect” have become mainstream. In this type of pachinko machine, when a reserved ball random number is stored, the main control processing unit determines various lottery results for the reserved ball random number in advance, and changes pattern commands according to the result. The change pattern command is output to the effect control processing unit as a prefetch command. Then, the effect control processing unit performs a notice effect indicating the possibility that the reserved ball random number is a big hit from the prefetch command, that is, a prefetch notice effect, It is performed at a stage before the game based on random numbers is started.

JP 2011-15742 A (paragraphs 0084-0094 etc.)

  Making a presentation novel and attractive in a pachinko machine is a permanent issue, but Patent Document 1 mentions a combination of using both a special variation pattern table and a pre-reading notice. However, it is very important to solve these permanent problems described above by combining them so that the production becomes novel and attractive.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to realize a new effect in which a special variation pattern table and a pre-reading notice effect are fused in a pachinko machine.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a game board having a game area in which game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, and a random number in response to a game ball winning in the start opening. A special symbol lottery means for acquiring a special symbol using the random number and storing the random number obtained by the special symbol lottery means as a reserved ball random number up to a predetermined upper limit in a predetermined case. A variation pattern command determining means for determining a variation pattern command for each game by referring to any one of a plurality of variation pattern tables, and a special symbol according to the variation pattern command for a predetermined variation time according to the variation pattern command. A special symbol display device for stopping and displaying the special symbol in a manner corresponding to the lottery result by the special symbol lottery means, and a lottery by the special symbol lottery means. The jackpot game control means for providing a jackpot game when the jackpot is won, and a predetermined stage of play is determined from a plurality of stage of play based on the variation pattern command, and the display of the stage of play related to the determination is produced. In a pachinko machine including an effect control processing unit that controls display on a device, the plurality of variation pattern tables include a normal variation pattern table that is normally used and a special variation pattern that is used when a specific condition is satisfied The special variation pattern table includes a special symbol variation time for each of the games related to a special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special variation game”) that is continuously performed a plurality of times. The plurality of performance modes are determined with reference to the special variation pattern table. A plurality of special variation effects corresponding to a motion pattern command (hereinafter referred to as “special variation command”) are included, and the variation pattern command determination means is stored each time a reserved ball random number is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit. The prefetch command for the reserved ball random number is output to the effect control processing unit, and the effect control processing unit inputs the effect mode in the special variable game during the special variable game as well as the special variable command. Further, in consideration of the prefetch command, any one of the plurality of special variation effects is determined.

  In the present invention, a special variation pattern table is used when a specific condition is satisfied, a special variation command is determined with reference to the special variation pattern table, and a special variation effect corresponding to the special variation command is displayed. Therefore, whenever a specific condition is satisfied, the player can be shown a special variation effect and entertained. In addition, in the present invention, since the pre-read command is considered in addition to the special change command in determining the special change effect, the special change effect displayed on the effect display device is changed by the pre-read command. Therefore, the production during the special variation game can be made novel and attractive.

  The specific condition is preferably a probability that the jackpot is won by a lottery by the special symbol lottery means, and the game state after the jackpot game is a jackpot by a lottery by the special symbol lottery means is normal. It will be in a highly advantageous state.

  In this way, the probability of winning a jackpot during a special variation game increases, so the number of reserved ball random numbers wins the jackpot. For this reason, the case where the special variation effect is determined in consideration of the prefetch command that is a big hit increases, and the number of cases that suggest that the special variation effect actually displayed is a big win increases. Therefore, the player can be attracted to the special variation effect.

  In the above configuration, the special variation game is composed of at least three consecutive games, and the special variation pattern table includes a first time for a game that is first performed in the special variation game. The second time for the second game is defined as the special symbol variation time for each game, and the third time for the third and subsequent games. The relationship of the third time satisfies third time <first time <second time, and the effect control processing unit is configured to determine the special variation command determined at the start of the second game, Based on the pre-read command of the third and subsequent games that are input at the start of the second game, the effect mode of the second game is changed to the special variation effects. To a structure to be determined either from the preferred.

  According to this configuration, in the first game during the special variable game, the game ball can be won at the start port during the first time and the reserved ball random number storage unit can store the reserved ball random number. When the reserved ball random number is stored, a prefetch command is output to the effect control processing unit. Therefore, in the second game during the special variable game, not only the special variable command at the start of the second game but also the prefetch command Can be displayed on the effect display device. Therefore, the player who sees this special variation effect increases the pleasure of predicting whether or not the third or subsequent jackpot is included depending on the content of the effect, and the game's preference is enhanced. In addition, since the variation time of the special symbol in the third and subsequent games is the third time shorter than the first time, the third and subsequent games can be performed as soon as possible. It is desirable that the first time is a time enough to store up to the upper limit number of reserved sphere random numbers in the reserved sphere random number storage unit. This is because many prefetch commands are output before the start of the second game.

  Further, in the above configuration, the special variation effect includes a holding ball random number stored in the holding ball random number storage unit that is determined to be a big hit by lottery by the special symbol lottery means. The second special variation effect indicating the second and the second one indicating that the reserved ball random number stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit does not include the one determined to be a big hit in the lottery by the special symbol lottery means The pre-read command includes a jackpot command that is output when the reserved ball random number is determined to be a big hit in the lottery by the special symbol lottery means, and the reserved ball random number is the There is a lose command that is output when it is determined that the special symbol lottery means that the game has been lost, and the effect control processing unit is responsible for the third and subsequent games. When the pre-read command is the jackpot command, the game is determined to be displayed in the second special game, while the second command is the second command. It is preferable to determine to display the second special variation effect in a game to be performed.

  According to this configuration, whether or not the jackpot is included in the third or later special variation game depending on whether the first special variation effect or the second special variation effect is displayed in the second game of the special variation game. Can be accurately informed to the player.

  Further, in the above configuration, when the second game played is a big hit, the effect control processing unit determines to display the first special variation effect in the second game played, In the case of a loss, it is preferable that the second special variation effect be determined to be displayed in the second game.

  According to this configuration, when the first special variation effect is displayed in the game played second, the player can expect not only that the third and subsequent games include jackpots, but also the second You can also expect to win a jackpot in the games. That is, according to this configuration, it is possible to further increase the expectation for the second game.

A door 4, a transparent glass plate 10 attached to the opening 8 of the glass door 4, and a front board 6 having a tray 5 which is disposed on the lower side of the main body frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed and accommodates a game ball. A launching device 9 provided at the lower part of the main body frame 2 and a handle 7 attached to the front board 6 are provided. Furthermore, the speaker 20 is attached to the upper part of the glass door 4 one each right and left, and the various sound effects regarding a game are emitted. As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko machine P includes a main control processing unit 100, a payout / launch control processing unit 105, a sub control processing unit 200, a prize ball payout device 14, and the like on the back side. Next, the configuration of the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 3 has a game area 31 on the board surface, and the game area 31 can be observed through the glass plate 10 after being attached to the main body frame 2. The game area 31 is partitioned and formed into a substantially circular shape by a guide rail 32 for sliding the game ball and a game ball regulating rail 33, and the game ball launched by the launching device 9 flows down in the game area 31. To do. Further, in the game area 31, the effect display device 34, the through chucker 21, the electric tulip 49, the stage 36, the first start winning opening (start opening) 37a and the second starting winning opening (start opening) 37b. A general winning port 38, an out port 39, a game nail (not shown), a windmill (not shown), an attacker device 41, and the like are provided. Further, a special symbol display device 17 and a normal symbol display device 22 are provided at a position on the lower right side of the game board surface.

  In the present embodiment, the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b are provided with a gap in the left-right direction, and when the launching intensity of the launching device 9 is weak to medium (so-called bukko) When the game ball is fired for the purpose), the game ball may flow down the left side of the effect display device 34 and win the first start winning port 37a, but the second start winning port 37b wins a prize. There is nothing to do.

  On the other hand, when the game ball is fired with the firing strength of the launcher 9 increased (so-called right-handed), the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 37b, but right-handed. Then, it is set so that it is difficult to win the game ball in the first start winning opening 37a. Therefore, when the player is making a right turn, the game ball is won almost only at the second start winning opening 37b. Note that the second start winning opening 37b has a configuration in which a game ball cannot win a prize unless the electric tulip 49 is opened. Therefore, the player usually advances the game while launching a game ball with the aim of budding.

  The effect display device 34 is provided in a substantially central portion of the game board 3 and is a result of the electronic lottery relating to the first special symbol performed when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, or the second start. Based on the result of the electronic lottery related to the second special symbol that is performed when the game ball wins in the winning opening 37b, a predetermined rendering mode is displayed. In this embodiment, a liquid crystal display device is used. ing. In addition to the background image being displayed on the entire screen, the effect display device 34 is synchronized with the first special symbol or the second special symbol variably displayed on the special symbol display device 17 as part of a predetermined effect mode. As a result, the dummy symbol (effect symbol) is displayed in a variable manner.

  The effect display device 34 is a display for performing a hold display (display that the hold ball random number is stored) when the hold ball random number is stored in the hold ball random number storage (memory) 115a, 115b. A region is defined. Specifically, a first reserved ball display area 34a for displaying that a reserved ball random number is stored in the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is provided on the lower left side of the effect display device 34. In addition, a second reserved ball display area 34b for displaying that the reserved ball random number is stored in the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b is provided. Output from the main control processing unit 100 when a game ball wins at the first start winning opening 37a or the second start winning opening 37b and the random number for special symbol success / failure determination acquired by the winning is stored as a reserved ball random number When the command is received, the reserved balls are displayed in white in these reserved ball display areas 34a and 34b (see FIG. 23 and the like). In addition, although the holding ball display is black in the figure, it is actually displayed in white).

  The special symbol display device 17 is a result of the electronic lottery related to the first special symbol performed when the game ball wins the first start winning port 37a, or the game ball wins the second start winning port 37b. This is for displaying the result of the electronic lottery concerning the second special symbol performed at the opportunity. More specifically, the special symbol display device 17 displays the lottery result relating to the special symbol in such a manner that the lottery result is stopped after the first special symbol or the second special symbol (for example, a number or a pattern) is changed. In the present embodiment, a 7-segment display is used as the special symbol display device 17. The special symbol display device 17 is provided apart from the lower right portion of the game board 3 so as not to enter the field of view of the player watching the effect display device 34 at the same time. Then, the special symbol fluctuates by causing the 7-segment display to blink, and the blinking stops and changes to the lighting display, whereby the special symbol fluctuates. This blinking time is the variation time of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol).

  In the present embodiment, the game based on the game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a and the game based on the game ball winning in the second start winning port 37b do not proceed simultaneously. More specifically, the game based on winning of the game ball at the second start winning port 37b is prioritized and executed over the game based on winning of the game ball at the first starting winning port 37a. ing. That is, when the reserved ball random number is stored in both the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the main control processing unit 100 performs the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b. The reserved ball random number stored in the symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b is read first, and the process related to the game is executed. Therefore, the lottery results of both the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b are not displayed simultaneously. Therefore, the result of the lottery based on the winning of the game ball in the two start winning openings 37a and 37b is displayed on one special symbol display device 17. That is, the special symbol display device 17 serves as both the first special symbol display device and the second special symbol display device of the present invention. Of course, it goes without saying that two special symbol display devices 17 may be provided separately.

  The through chucker 21 has a gate structure through which a game ball can pass, and a magnetic sensor type through chucker detection sensor 46 that detects that the game ball has passed is incorporated therein. In addition, a normal symbol display device 22 for displaying the result of the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol performed when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 is provided next to the special symbol display device 17. . In the present embodiment, the normal symbol display device 22 is composed of two LED lamps, and one LED lamp is lit when hitting a normal figure, and the other LED lamp is lit when lost. ing. It should be noted that the normal symbol fluctuates by alternately displaying the two LED lamps in a blinking manner, and the blinking stops and the normal symbol fluctuates by changing to a lighting display. This blinking time is the normal symbol fluctuation time.

  The display control of the special symbol display device 17 is performed by the first special symbol display control unit 101a and the second special symbol display control unit 101b of the main control processing unit 100, and the display control of the normal symbol display device 22 is the main control. This is performed by the normal symbol display control unit 102 of the control processing unit 100 (see FIG. 4).

  The electric tulip 49 is provided at the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b, and includes a pair of blade members that rotate about an axis orthogonal to the surface of the game board 3. When the solenoid is energized, The blade members are rotated in directions away from each other, and the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b is enlarged. Then, when the electric tulip 49 is opened, it is possible to win a game ball in the second start winning opening 37b.

  Further, the stage 36 is a structure that is disposed below the effect display device 34 and in which the game ball stays temporarily while rolling. A groove is formed at the center of the stage 36, and a first start winning opening 37a is arranged at a position directly below the groove. Therefore, the game ball dropped from the groove is guided to the first start winning opening 37a with a high probability.

  The attacker device 41 is released a predetermined number of times when the game goes into a jackpot game as a result of an electronic lottery related to the first special symbol performed when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a. It is a device and is also released a predetermined number of times even when the game goes to jackpot game as a result of an electronic lottery related to the second special symbol performed when the game ball wins at the second start winning opening 37b. It is also a device. That is, the attacker device 41 operates in accordance with the lottery results at both start winning ports 37a and 37b.

  The attacker device 41 includes a plate-like lid member that opens and closes in the front-rear direction about a horizontal axis, and the lid member rotates around the horizontal axis by driving a solenoid (not shown). ing. When the lid member is opened, the big prize opening 42 provided in the lower portion of the game area 31 is exposed, and the game ball can be won through the big prize opening 42.

  That is, in the attacker device 41, since the lid member normally closes the big winning opening 42, the game ball does not win the big winning opening 42. However, as described above, when the player shifts to the jackpot game, the lid member Since the special winning opening 42 is exposed, the game ball can be awarded in the special winning opening 42. When a game ball wins the big winning opening 42, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls. That is, the player can win a game by winning a game ball in the big winning opening 42. The special winning opening 42 is a horizontally long rectangular opening, and the lid member of the attacker device 41 has substantially the same shape as the special winning opening 42.

  In this embodiment, the number of times the attacker device 41 is released in the jackpot game is all 15R (round), but the release pattern of the attacker device 41 is different depending on the type of special symbol. There will be a difference in the number of prize balls that can be made, which will be described in detail later.

  In addition, when a game ball wins the general winning opening 38, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls. The game balls that have not entered any of the first start winning opening 37 a, the second starting winning opening 37 b, the general winning opening 38, and the attacker device 41 are collected from the out opening 39. It should be noted that sensors 43a, 43b, 44, and 45 for detecting the passage of game balls are respectively provided in the first start winning opening 37a, the second starting winning opening 37b, the general winning opening 38, and the large winning opening 42 (FIG. 4). Reference) is provided.

Access Memory) and the like. When the CPU reads and executes various programs and data stored in the ROM, main processing relating to the game is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control processing unit 100 is a special symbol lottery processing unit that performs a lottery regarding whether or not a special symbol is successful when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37a, 37b. A special symbol lottery means) 110, a special symbol type determination processing unit 120 that determines the type of a special symbol related to the winning in a lottery by a lottery by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, and a special symbol A special symbol variation pattern command determination unit (variation pattern command determination means) 130 for determining a variation pattern command which is a command including information regarding the variation time, and a gaming state related to the special symbol based on the fact that a predetermined condition is satisfied And the game state setting unit 140 for setting the game state related to the normal symbol, and the lottery result by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 A bonus game control unit (a jackpot game control means) 160 that shifts to a jackpot game by operating the attacker device 41 (solenoid thereof) according to the type of the special symbol determined by the special symbol type determination processing unit 120. It has.

  The main control processing unit 100 further includes a normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 for performing lottery related to whether or not a normal symbol is passed when a game ball passes through the through chucker 21, and a normal symbol for determining a variation time of the normal symbol. The symbol variation time determination unit 190, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 that controls the operation of the electric tulip 49, the first special symbol display control unit 101a that controls the display of the special symbol display device 17, and the second special symbol display control unit 101b and the normal symbol display control part 102 which performs display control of the normal symbol display apparatus 22 are comprised.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 updates the counter value one by one within a predetermined range (in the present embodiment, a range from 0 to 65535) based on a periodically input clock signal. The random number generator 111 for determining whether or not the special symbol is suitable for generating a hardware random number, and the first lottery for determining whether or not the first special symbol is successful is triggered by the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 37a. A special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a and a second special symbol success / failure lottery portion 119b for performing a lottery related to the success or failure of the second special symbol when a game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b. ing.

  The first special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a is triggered by a game ball winning in the first start winning opening 37a (at the timing when the detection signal from the start winning opening detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing section 100). The first special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112a that acquires (latches) one special symbol success / failure random number generated by the special symbol success / failure determination random number generation unit 111, and the first special symbol success / failure determination random number. A first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the acquisition unit 112a is a big hit with reference to the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a or the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a; When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating when the first special symbol success / failure determination random number acquiring unit 112a acquires the random number, A first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit (reserved ball random number storage unit) 115a for storing up to four reserved ball random numbers related to symbols (in other words, up to a predetermined upper limit of four). ing.

  Here, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a has a higher probability of jackpot than the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a, and more specifically, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a is The jackpot winning probability is approximately 1/30 (in this embodiment, random numbers from 0 to 2184 are jackpots and random numbers from 2185 to 65535 are lost), and the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a is a jackpot winning probability. Is set to approximately 1/300 (in this embodiment, random numbers from 0 to 218 are big hits and random numbers from 219 to 65535 are lost). That is, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a is set to have a 10 times larger probability of winning than the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a.

  Similarly to the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a, the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second start winning award port 37b (the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43b is the main signal). The second special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112b that acquires (latches) one special symbol success / failure determination random number generated by the special symbol success / failure determination random number generation unit 111 (at the timing input to the control processing unit 100). Whether the random number acquired by the second special symbol success / failure determination random number acquiring unit 112b is a big hit or not is referred to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. The first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating when the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b and the second special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112b acquire random numbers. In some cases, this acquired random number is stored as a reserved ball random number for the second special symbol up to four (in other words, up to the predetermined maximum of four), the reserved ball random number storage for the second special symbol Unit (reserved ball random number storage unit) 115b.

  Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of jackpot than the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, and more specifically, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b is The jackpot winning probability is approximately 1/30, and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b has a jackpot winning probability of approximately 1/300. That is, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b is set to have a 10 times larger probability of winning than the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. The random numbers corresponding to the jackpot and the loss are the same as those in the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a.

  In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the first special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a refers to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a to perform the lottery regarding the success / failure of the first special symbol, and the second special symbol success / failure lottery The game state in which the part 119b refers to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b to perform the lottery related to the success / failure of the second special symbol is simply referred to as “special symbol low probability”, and the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a refers to the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and performs a lottery related to whether or not the first special symbol is true. The second special symbol high / bad lottery unit 119b refers to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b. 2. A gaming state in which a lottery relating to whether or not a special symbol is successful is simply referred to as “special figure high accuracy”.

  As mentioned above, if the reserved special ball random numbers are stored in both the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b is stored. The one stored in the symbol holding ball random number storage unit 115b is preferentially read out to determine whether or not it is a big hit, and control is performed so that the game proceeds according to the determination (see Fig. 2). Priority processing).

  Next, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 will be described. While the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 described above determines whether or not the jackpot is won (whether the special symbol is successful), the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 determines the type of the special symbol. Is for. In other words, in the present embodiment, determination of the jackpot / losing regarding the special symbol is performed by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, but the content of the jackpot (type, number of rounds, number of electric supporters, attacker release pattern) is a special symbol type determination process. The configuration is determined by the unit 120. Details of the above jackpot contents will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 sets the value of the loop counter to a predetermined range (in this embodiment, 0 to 0) based on an interrupt signal that is periodically input (for example, every 4 milliseconds). The special symbol type determination random number generator 121 for generating software random numbers by updating each one in the range up to 399) and the first special prize by lottery when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a A first special symbol type lottery section 129a for determining the symbol type and a second symbol for determining the second special symbol type by lottery when a game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b. And a special symbol type lottery section 129b.

  The first special symbol type lottery unit 129a is triggered by a game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a (at the timing when the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing unit 100). The first special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122a that acquires (latches) one special symbol type determining random number generated by the special symbol type determining random number generating unit 121, and the first special symbol type determining random number A first special symbol type determining unit 123a that determines the type of the first special symbol from the random numbers acquired by the acquiring unit 122a with reference to the first special symbol type determining table 125a, and a random number acquiring unit for determining the first special symbol type When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating when the random number is acquired by the 122a, the acquired random number is limited to a maximum of four (in other words, up to four predetermined upper limits). ) Includes a first special symbol type determination random number storage unit 124a for storing the.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first special symbol type determination table 125a has a table configuration in which a random number for determining a special symbol type and the type of the first special symbol are associated in advance. Specifically, the first special symbol type determination table includes four types of first special symbols, that is, the 15R specific short symbol 1, the 15R specific short symbol 2, the 15R specific short symbol 3, and the 15R specific short symbol 4. 125a, and the special symbol type determination random numbers 0 to 399 are associated with each of the four types of first special symbols. And since the range of the random numbers for determining the special symbol type assigned to each first special symbol is different, the probability that each first special symbol is selected by the first special symbol type determining unit 123a is It will be different.

  More specifically, among the four types of first special symbols stored in the first special symbol type determination table 125a, those for which the random number for determining the special symbol type is 0 to 59, the “15R specific time is shortened”. "Rated symbol 1" is associated, "15R specified short time symbol 2" for the random value 60 to 259, and "15R specified short symbol for the random value 260 to 339" “3R” is associated with “15R specified short time symbol 4” for the random numbers from 340 to 399, respectively.

  As will be described in detail later, among the types of special symbols, “15R” means that the number of rounds of the jackpot game is 15 rounds, “specific” means so-called probable odds, and “time saving” means that electric support is It shows that it is granted. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when winning the jackpot, it will surely be a probability change (however, the ST70 number of times cut probability change).

  As can be seen from FIG. 7, the total number of random numbers associated with “15R specified short time symbol 1” is 60 out of 400 special symbol type determining random numbers in total. The probability that “design 1” is selected is 60/400 × 100 = 15%. The selection probabilities of the other first special symbols are similarly determined. The selection probability of “15R specific short-term symbol 2” is 50%, the selection probability of “15R specific short-term symbol 3” is 20%, and “15R specific short-term symbol 2” The selection probability of “short-time symbol 4” is 15%.

  Similarly to the first special symbol type lottery unit 129a, the second special symbol type lottery unit 129b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second starting prize port 37b (a detection signal from the starting winning port detection sensor 43b). Is acquired at the main control processing unit 100), and a random number for determining the second special symbol type is acquired (latched), one random number for determining the special symbol type generated by the random number generator for determining the special symbol type 121. 122b and a second special symbol type determining unit that determines the type of the second special symbol from the random numbers acquired by the second special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122b with reference to the second special symbol type determining table 125b If the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating when the random number is acquired by the second special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122b and the second special symbol type determining unit 122b, the acquired random number is a maximum of four In (in other words, up to four of the upper limit is a predetermined number) is provided with a second special symbol types determination random number storage unit 124b for storing, a.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the second special symbol type determination table 125b has a table configuration in which a special symbol type determination random number and a second special symbol type are associated in advance. Similar to the type of the first special symbol, there are four types of the second special symbol: 15R specific short-time symbols 1 to 4 in total. The probability that each special symbol type is selected is the same as that of the first special symbol type determination table 125a. Therefore, detailed description of the second special symbol type determination table 125b is omitted.

  From the above, there are special symbol types when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a and wins a jackpot and when the game ball wins the second start winning slot 37b and wins the jackpot. There is no difference in the decision. In other words, even if a game ball wins any of the start winning ports 37a and 37b, the game result is set so that there is no difference in superiority or inferiority.

  Next, the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 performs a lottery related to the normal symbol when the game ball passes through the normal symbol success / failure random number generating unit 171 that generates a random number and the through chucker 21. A normal symbol success / failure lottery part 177 for determining whether or not to go is configured. The normal symbol success / failure determination random number generator 171 has the same configuration as the special symbol success / failure determination random number generator 111. Further, the normal symbol success / failure lottery unit 177 is triggered by the passing of the game ball through the through chucker 21 (at the timing when the detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 100). The normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 172 that acquires (latches) one random number for normal symbol success / failure determination generated by the determination random number generation unit 171, and the random number acquired by the normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 172 The normal symbol is changing when the normal symbol success / failure determination unit 173 that determines whether or not it is a normal symbol and the normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 172 acquires a random number. In addition, an ordinary symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 174 for storing the obtained random numbers up to four as a reserved ball random number for a normal symbol, and a determination table A normal symbol low probability determination table 176 is a low probability that the probability of winning per Hiroshi view than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 and a high normal symbol high probability determination table 175.

  Here, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 has a higher probability of hitting the normal symbol than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176, and more specifically, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is per symbol. In the normal symbol low probability determination table 176, the winning probability per ordinary drawing is set to 1/20. That is, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is set to have a much higher probability of winning per regular symbol than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176. When a lottery is made with reference to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175, in most cases, the winning is per ordinary drawing.

  In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the game state in which the normal symbol success / failure lottery unit 177 refers to the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 to perform the lottery related to the normal symbol is simply referred to as “general symbol low probability”. The game state in which the normal symbol winning / not determining lottery unit 177 refers to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 and performs the lottery related to the normal symbol is simply referred to as “ordinary symbol high probability”.

  Next, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 shown in FIG. 4 performs control so that the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 is energized to open and close based on the result of the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 winning in the lottery. Yes. The electric tulip operation control unit 180 opens the electric tulip 49 twice with an opening time of 1.2 seconds (interval 0.8 seconds) for each time of normal drawing in the high accuracy of the normal drawing (that is, an interval of 0.8 seconds). , 1.2 seconds open → 0.8 seconds closed → 1.2 seconds open in this order). It is controlled to open once in 0.2 seconds. Therefore, during the high figure high accuracy, as described above, whenever the lottery by the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 is performed, winning is almost per common figure, and by this win, the electric tulip 49 is opened 1.2 seconds x 2 times. Therefore, the player can win the game ball in the electric tulip 49 relatively easily. Therefore, the game can be performed without much reduction of the game balls during the normal high accuracy.

  The pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment has three states of “low probability”, “inside certainty”, and “probability variation” prepared in advance as gaming states. “Low probability” consists of a gaming state of low special figure and low probability of ordinary figure, “Inner chance” consists of a gaming state of special figure high probability and low figure of normal figure, and “Probability” represents special figure high. It consists of a game state with certainty and ordinary figure.

  In this embodiment, when the type of the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) described above is determined, the jackpot type, the number of rounds, and the electric support are determined from the special symbol and each of the above game states. The number of times and the attacker release pattern are determined. This will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, each special symbol type is associated in advance with a jackpot pattern that defines a jackpot type, the number of rounds, the number of times of electric support, and an attacker release pattern.

  Here, the “big hit type” is defined as whether the gaming state related to the special symbol after the big jackpot game is a special figure low probability or a special figure high probability. When winning, the “probable hit” is determined so that the game state after that will be highly accurate. That is, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has a specification that is 100% accurate. In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of games in the special figure high accuracy is predetermined as 70 times (so-called ST number is 70 times), and the jackpot must be won in the special figure high accuracy of 70 times. In this case, the special figure is forced to fall down with low accuracy (see FIG. 10).

  “Number of rounds” defines how many round games are executed during the jackpot game. In this embodiment, the number of round games during the jackpot game is set to 15 rounds (R). However, as will be described below, the same 15 rounds can be obtained because the attacker release pattern is different. There is a difference in the number of prize balls.

  “Attacker opening pattern” is a pattern that determines the opening pattern of the attacker device 41 during the jackpot game, whereas “full opening” is a pattern in which the attacker device 41 is opened for 15 rounds for a long time, “Fast open” is a pattern in which the attacker device 41 is opened for only four rounds for a long time.

  More specifically, in the case of “full release”, the attacker device 41 is opened once after the round game is started, and 10 game balls are won in the exposed big winning opening 42. Or when the end condition (round end condition) that 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of the round game is satisfied, this round game is played 15 times (round) .

  “High speed release” is the same as “Full release” in that round games are played 15 times (rounds), but round game end conditions are the first to fourth rounds and the fifth to fifteenth rounds. Is different. More specifically, in the first to fourth rounds, as in the case of “full release”, the attacker device 41 opens once after the start of the round game, and 10 game balls win a prize at the exposed big winning opening 42. Or it is the content that it will be complete | finished when the end conditions (round end conditions) of 30 seconds having passed since the round game was started are satisfied.

  On the other hand, until the fifth to fifteenth rounds, the attacker device 41 is opened once after the round game starts, and 10 game balls are won in the exposed big prize opening 42 or the round game is started. The content is that the process ends when any end condition (round end condition) of 0.2 seconds has passed. In other words, in the case of high-speed opening, winning balls can be expected until the 1st to 4th rounds, but until the 5th to 15th rounds, the attacker device 41 is opened only for a maximum of 0.2 seconds per round. I can't expect to win.

  As described above, the attacker opening pattern is different between “full opening” and “high speed opening”, so that “full opening” can obtain about 1500 prize balls, but “high speed opening” can only give about 400 prize balls. You cannot expect to get a ball. In other words, it can be said that the high-speed release is a pattern in which, although there are 15 rounds of the jackpot game, substantially only 4 rounds of winning balls can be obtained.

  Note that the jackpot game control unit 160 controls the operation of the attacker device 41 to provide a jackpot game with an attacker opening pattern corresponding to the type of special symbol.

  The “number of electric support” is the number of games that can be played while receiving support from the electric tulip 49. More specifically, the special game lottery process is performed when the game state is generally high. It is the number of times that the lottery can be performed by the section 110 (the number of games). In this embodiment, there are three types of power support times: 20, 40 times, and 70 times. However, if a big hit is won before the set power support number is reached, at that time It goes without saying that the remaining number of electric supporters disappears, and the number of electric supporters according to the type of special symbol determined at the time of a new winning will be given.

  Here, as described above, in the present embodiment, the number of games with special figure high accuracy is limited to a maximum of 70 times (ST70 times). There may be a state where there is no electric support despite high accuracy. On the other hand, when the number of times of the electric support is 70 times, the electric support is always given for 70 times of the special figure high accuracy.

  In this way, the jackpot pattern is composed of the contents that define the jackpot type, the number of rounds, the attacker opening pattern, and the number of power support, and when the type of special symbol is determined, it depends on the type The game is controlled according to the jackpot pattern. The correspondence between the types of special symbols and jackpot patterns is as follows.

  “15R specified short-time symbol 1” is per probability change, and when the game status at the time of big hit is “low probability” or “in-probability”, the power support count is 20 times, and when it is “probability change”, the power support count is The number of rounds is 70, the number of rounds is 15 rounds (substantially 4 rounds), the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “fast opening”, and the jackpot pattern with about 400 balls in one jackpot game corresponds to ing.

  “15R specific time short symbol 2” is per probability change, the power support count is 20 when the game state at the time of the big hit is “low probability”, “internal probability”, the power support count when “probability change” The number of rounds is 70, the number of rounds is 15 rounds, the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”, and it corresponds to the jackpot pattern with about 1500 balls in one jackpot game.

  “15R specific time short symbol 3” is per probability change, and when the game state at the time of big hit is “low probability”, “in-probability”, the number of times of electric support is 40 times, and when it is “probability change”, the number of times of electric support is The number of rounds is 70, the number of rounds is 15 rounds, the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”, and it corresponds to the jackpot pattern with about 1500 balls in one jackpot game.

  “15R specified short-time symbol 4” is per odd change, and the number of rounds is 70, regardless of whether the game state at the big hit is “low probability”, “inside probability”, or “probability variation”. In the 15 rounds, the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”, which corresponds to a jackpot pattern with about 1500 balls in one jackpot game.

  Next, the game mode of this pachinko machine P and the transition opportunity of each game mode will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, in this embodiment, there are three gaming states of “low probability”, “inside probability”, and “probability change”. On the other hand, there are three game modes: a normal mode, a chance mode, and a super chance mode. This game mode is determined from the viewpoint of game production. For this reason, even in the same mode, the gaming state may be different. For example, even in the normal mode, the gaming state may be low in probability or in-probable. Even if the gaming state is probable, there are a chance mode and a super chance mode. Hereinafter, the conditions under which the game mode transition is performed will be described.

  First, in the initial state, the user stays in the normal mode. Of course, the gaming state at this time is low probability. In this normal mode, when the jackpot is won and the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is 15R specific short-lived symbols 1 to 3, the game shifts to the chance mode after the jackpot game (see route (A) in FIG. 10). . In this chance mode, 20 games are continued at maximum for 15R specific short symbol 1-2, and 40 games are continued for 15R specific short symbol 3 at maximum. In other words, the chance mode continues for the number of times of power support. Then, when the number of games corresponding to the number of times of power support is executed, the mode is changed from the chance mode to the normal mode (see the route (B) in the figure).

  However, the game state in the normal mode that has been transferred with the end of the electric support is indefinite. In other words, the electric support is completed 20 times or 40 times depending on the type of the special symbol, but since the present embodiment has the specification of ST70 times, the state of high accuracy of the special figure is the maximum after the jackpot ends. Continued 70 times. Therefore, since the high accuracy of the special figure is continued even after the electric support is completed, 30 games or 50 games after the chance mode are in an indefinite state. Then, after 30 games or 50 games of the normal mode in the probable state are continued, the probable state is completed, so that the game mode shifts from the normal mode in the probable state to the normal mode in the low probability (see FIG. Route (C)). Note that the normal mode and the low-accuracy normal mode cannot be visually distinguished from each other.

  On the other hand, when the big win is won in the low-accuracy normal mode, and the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is 15R specified short-time symbol 4, the game shifts to the super chance mode after the jackpot game (route (G) in FIG. 10). reference). This super chance mode continues for up to 70 games. In other words, the super chance mode continues for the number of times of power support. Then, when the number of games corresponding to the number of times of power support is executed, the chance mode shifts to the low probability normal mode (see the route (H) in the figure). Therefore, when the special symbol type is determined to be the 15R specific short-time symbol 4, the electric support is given as many times as the number of STs, so that 70 games after the big hit game can always be played with the electric support. It will be.

  In addition, when winning a jackpot during the chance mode, even if the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is any of the 15R specified short-lived symbols 1 to 4, it becomes the super chance mode after the jackpot game (same as above). (See route (D) in the figure). In addition, in the normal mode that has been transferred from the chance mode with the end of the electric support, the gaming state is indeterminate, so even if you win the jackpot, the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is 15R If the symbols are 1 to 3, the game shifts to the chance mode after the jackpot game (see the route (E) in the figure). On the other hand, when the type of special symbol determined at the time of winning is 15R specified short-time symbol 4, the game becomes a super chance mode after the jackpot game (see route (F) in the same figure). Also, in the super chance mode, if the jackpot is won, regardless of the type of special symbol, after the jackpot game, the super chance mode is set again (see route (I) in the figure). In other words, if the jackpot is won during the electric support, the super chance mode is set regardless of the type of the special symbol, and if the jackpot is won at any other time, the super chance mode is set only for the 15R specific time short symbol pattern 4.

  Next, determination of the variation pattern command in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The variation pattern command is a command for determining the variation time of the special symbol and various effects (including the pre-reading notice effect). This variation pattern command is determined by the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 at the start of the game and when the stored ball random number is stored (at the time of storage). In the following description, the variation pattern command determined at the time of holding and storing is distinguished from the variation pattern command determined at the start of the game by referring to “prefetch command”. Further, when it is necessary to distinguish a fluctuation pattern command determined with reference to special fluctuation pattern tables 134c to f described later from a fluctuation pattern command determined with reference to other fluctuation pattern tables. This will be referred to as “special variation command” as appropriate.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 includes a special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 for generating a variation pattern random number for use in determining a variation pattern command, and a first start winning port 37a. The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a for determining the first variation pattern command based on the winning of the game ball in the game and the second variation based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 37b. And a second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b for determining a pattern command.

  The special symbol fluctuation pattern random number generator 131 sets the value of the loop counter to 1 within a predetermined range (0 to 199 in this embodiment) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 4 milliseconds). Software random numbers are generated by updating each one.

  The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a includes the random numbers for the special symbol variation pattern generated by the special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 37a. From the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a for acquiring one random number from the random number acquired by the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a, with reference to the special symbol common variation pattern command table 134 The first special symbol variation pattern determining unit 135a that determines the first variation pattern command, and the random number acquired by the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquiring unit 132a when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changing And a first special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133a for storing up to four. The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a, when one game ball wins the first start winning slot 37a, similarly to the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a, for one special symbol variation pattern. Get a random number.

  Similarly to the first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a, the second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b also receives a special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when the game ball is won in the second start winning slot 37b. From the random numbers acquired by the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b for acquiring one random number from the random numbers for the special symbol variation pattern generated by the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b, A second special symbol variation pattern determining unit 135b that determines a second variation pattern command with reference to the special symbol common variation pattern command table 134, and a second special symbol when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating. The second special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133b that stores up to four random numbers acquired by the symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b. It is configured to include a. The second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b, when one game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b, similarly to the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b, for one special symbol variation pattern. Get a random number.

  The special symbol common variation pattern command table 134 is a table commonly used by both the first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a and the second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b, as shown in FIG. A total of six tables including a normal variation pattern table 134a, a shortened variation pattern table 134b, a first special variation pattern table 134c, a second special variation pattern table 134d, a third special variation pattern table 134e, and a fourth special variation pattern table 134f. I have.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the normal variation pattern table 134a is referred to when the gaming state is low-probability and internal-probability, that is, when the gaming mode is the normal mode. This normal variation pattern table 134a is used until the next jackpot winning (except during the special variation game). Similarly, as shown in FIG. 13, the shortened variation pattern table 134b is referred to when the game state is a certain change, that is, when the game mode is the chance mode or the super chance mode (except during the special variation game). ).

  The special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f are tables that are referred to when a specific condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the specific condition is that the number of games after the jackpot game has reached a predetermined number. Therefore, the special variation pattern table is referred to for five games after the number of games after the jackpot game reaches a predetermined number. However, which special variation pattern table is referred to depends on the type of special symbol at the time of jackpot. In the following description, the five games in which this special variation pattern table is used will be referred to as “special variation game” (special variation game) as appropriate.

  In the first special variation pattern table 134c, as shown in FIG. 13, the type of special symbol at the time of winning the big win is 15R specific time short-hauled symbol 1, and 21 games are counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during the 5th game from the 25th game to the 25th game. In the case of the 15R specific time short-hauled symbol 1, the number of electric support after the jackpot game is 20 times or 70 times (see FIG. 9) depending on the game state, so the game when the first special variation pattern table 134c is referred to The state is indefinite when the electric support is 20 times, and is probable when the electric support is 70 times.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the second special variation pattern table 134d, the special symbol type at the time of winning the jackpot is 15R specific time short-hauled symbol 2, and 31 games counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during 5 games from the first to the 35th game. Similarly, the gaming state when the second special variation pattern table 134d is referred to has both a certainty and certainty.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the third special variation pattern table 134e, the special symbol type at the time of winning the jackpot is 15R specific time short-hauled symbol 3, and 41 games counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during 5 games from the first game to the 45th game. Similarly, the gaming state when the third special variation pattern table 134e is referred to has both a certainty and certainty.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the fourth special variation pattern table 134f, the special symbol type at the time of winning the jackpot is 15R specific time short-hauled symbol 4, and 51 games are counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during the 5th game from the 5th game to the 55th game. In the case of the 15R specific time short possession symbol 4, the number of electric support after the big hit game is 70 (see FIG. 9), so the gaming state when the fourth special variation pattern table 134f is referred to is surely variable. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, five special variation games are played continuously, and the timing of the special variation game after the jackpot game is determined according to the special symbol at the time of the jackpot. It depends on the type.

  Next, the fluctuation pattern tables 134a and 134b define the fluctuation time and reach contents of special figure 1 (first special symbol) and special figure 2 (second special symbol). In addition, the special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f are defined in advance in accordance with the number of games without special distinction between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. First, the characteristics of the variation time of each table will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a is set so that the main fluctuation time of the special figure 1 differs depending on the number of reserved memories (the number of reserved spherical random numbers). Specifically, when the number of reserved memories stored in the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1, the main variation time of the special figure 1 is set to 12.5 seconds, When the number of memories is two, the main fluctuation time of Fig. 1 is set to 12.5 seconds, and when the number of reserved memories is three, the main fluctuation time of Fig. 1 is set to 7 seconds. When there are four, the main fluctuation time in FIG. 1 is set to 4 seconds. That is, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved memories increases. Further, the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a is defined such that the main fluctuation time for the special figure 2 is exactly the same as that of the special figure 1. The main fluctuation time is a normal loss fluctuation time in which reach is not established (or is not handled as reach).

  Further, in this normal fluctuation pattern table 134a, the probability of reaching is set to 1/10 for both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, and the fluctuation time at the time of reach is 20 seconds to 120 for both FIG. 1 and FIG. Is set to seconds. In the case of a big hit, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is always selected (details will be described later).

  As shown in FIG. 14A, the shortening variation pattern table 134b is set so that the main variation time of the special figure 1 varies depending on the number of reserved storage. Specifically, when the number of reserved memories stored in the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1, the main variation time of the special figure 1 is set to 7 seconds. When the number is two, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 4 seconds, and when the number of reserved storage is 3 and 4, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 2 seconds. Also in the shortened variation pattern table 134b, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved storage increases. Further, the shortened fluctuation pattern table 134b defines that the main fluctuation time for the special figure 2 is exactly the same as that for the special figure 1.

  Further, in this shortened variation pattern table 134b, the probability of reaching is set to 1/20 for both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, and the fluctuation time at reach is 60 seconds to 120 for both FIG. 1 and FIG. Is set to seconds. In the case of a big hit, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is always selected.

  Here, comparing the normal variation pattern table 134a and the shortened variation pattern table 134b, it can be seen that the following relationship holds for the variation time of the special symbol. That is, the main variation time is shorter in the shortened variation pattern table 134b in all the numbers of stored storage. Further, the reach probability is lower in the shortened variation pattern table 134b. Therefore, the time required for one game is relatively shorter in the shortened variation pattern table 134b than in the normal variation pattern table 134a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f predetermine the variation time in each game between five games. The variation time for the special symbol of the first game is 20 seconds (first time), the second game is 90 seconds (second time), the third to fifth games are 2 seconds (third time), etc. (The relationship of 3rd time <1st time <2nd time is established). Therefore, in this embodiment, when the number of games after the jackpot game reaches a predetermined number (the 21st game, the 31st game, the 41st game, or the 51st game), a special variation is always used for 5 games thereafter. A game related to a special symbol is played with a variation time of 20 seconds for the first game, 90 seconds for the second game, and 2 seconds for the third to fifth games.

  The special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 determines a special variation command with reference to predetermined special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f when the number of games related to the special symbol after the jackpot game reaches a predetermined number of times. The special variation command is output to the effect control processing unit 201.

  Next, a specific configuration of the variation pattern command will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 17 show the correspondence between the special symbol variation pattern random numbers and the variation pattern commands for the normal variation pattern table 134a, and the reach contents and variation times defined in each variation pattern command data. . FIG. 18 shows the correspondence between random numbers for special symbol variation patterns and special variation commands when the fourth special variation pattern table 134f is referred to as a representative from the first to fourth special variation pattern tables. It also shows the reach contents and the variation time specified for each special variation command.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, even when the normal variation pattern table 134a is referred to, various conditions (the presence / absence of jackpot, the type of special symbol, the number of reserved memories) when determining the variation pattern command are determined. In response, different variation pattern commands are determined. This will be described in detail below.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, the variation pattern command is composed of 2-byte data of a preceding command and a succeeding command. There are seven types of data of the preceding command: A0H, A1H, A2H, A3H, A4H, A5H, and A6H (all displayed in hexadecimal). “A0H” defines that the jackpot is won and the type of the special symbol is 15R specific short-time symbol 1. “A1H” specifies that the jackpot is won and the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 2. “A2H” specifies that the jackpot is won and the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 3. “A3H” wins the jackpot and stipulates that the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 4. “A4H” is a loss and defines that the number of reserved storage is 0-2. “A5H” is a loss and specifies that the number of reserved storage is three. “A6H” is a loss and specifies that the number of reserved storage is four.

  On the other hand, the data of the subsequent command defines the contents of reach and the change time of the special symbol, and exists from 00H to 0BH (both are displayed in hexadecimal). “00H” defines a normal reach and a variation time of 20 seconds. “01H” defines a long reach and a fluctuation time of 30 seconds. “02H” is defined as a confrontation reach and a fluctuation time of 60 seconds. “03H” is defined as a confrontation reach and a fluctuation time of 90 seconds. “04H” is defined as a story-type reach and a fluctuation time of 60 seconds. “05H” is defined as a story-type reach and a fluctuation time of 90 seconds. “06H” is defined as a story-type reach with a variation time of 120 seconds. “07H” defines that the fluctuation time is 90 seconds in the live-action type reach. “08H” is defined as a live-action reach and a fluctuation time of 120 seconds (“08H” is a premier because it is generated only at the time of a big hit). “09H” is defined as a loss (no reach) and a fluctuation time of 12.5 seconds. “0AH” is defined as a loss (no reach) and a variation time of 7 seconds. “0BH” is defined as a loss (no reach) and a variation time of 4 seconds.

  Then, the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130, when starting the game, depending on the lottery result of the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, the lottery result of the special symbol type determination processing unit 120, and the number of reserved memories, FIG. Referring to any of the normal variation pattern tables 134a-1 to 134a-7 shown in FIG. 17, the variation pattern command is determined based on the special symbol variation pattern random numbers acquired by the special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition units 132a and 132b. Has been decided.

  The variation pattern command No. determined in each table. Are different from each other, the variation pattern command No. If it sees, it will be understood whether it is a big hit, whether the reach occurs, what kind of reach is applied, and how many seconds the fluctuation time is. For example, the variation pattern command No. When 19A is input, the command No. From the above, it can be seen that it is a jackpot and 15R specified short-time symbol 1 and that there is a fluctuation of 120 seconds in the live-action reach (see FIG. 15A). When 14D is input, the command No. It is understood that the jackpot and 15R specified short time symbol 4 and that the fluctuation is 90 seconds in the confrontation reach (see FIG. 16 (b)). When 10G is input, it can be seen that it is a loss and a 4-second fluctuation that does not cause reach (see FIG. 17C).

  Here, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 show the variation pattern command determined at the time of jackpot, but as is clear from these figures, there is no case where the subsequent command is 09H, 0AH, or 0BH. That is, the variation pattern command in which the reach content is defined as lost (no reach) is not included. Therefore, reach always occurs at the big hit.

  It should be noted that the variation pattern command No. Although the difference and the contents of the fluctuation time and reach defined in each fluctuation pattern command are different, the configuration is the same as that of the normal fluctuation pattern tables 134a-1 to 134a-7, and the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, a specific configuration of the special variation command will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, the special variation command is similarly composed of 2-byte data of a preceding command and a succeeding command. There are 15 types of data of the preceding command: C0H to C4H, D0H to D4H, and E0H to E4H (all expressed in hexadecimal). C0H to C4H are the first game of the special fluctuation game, D0H to D4H are the second game of the special fluctuation game, and E0H to E4H are the third to fifth games of the special fluctuation game. Each of these is stipulated.

  “C0H” wins the jackpot and the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 1; “C1H” wins the jackpot and the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 2 That is, “C2H” wins the jackpot and the special symbol type is 15R specified short-time symbol 3 and “C3H” wins the jackpot and the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 4 In other words, “C4H” defines that it is a loss. Since each of D0H to D4H and E0H to E4H is as shown in FIG. 18, the description thereof is omitted here.

  On the other hand, the data of the subsequent command defines the contents of the reach and the variation time of the special symbol, and “F0H” defines that the variation time is 20 seconds in the special system reach. “F1H” has a fluctuation time of 20 seconds without reach, “E1H” has a battle effect of 90 seconds, “40H” has a short reach and a fluctuation time of 2 seconds. “41H” respectively defines that the fluctuation time is 2 seconds without reach.

  FIG. 18 shows the special variation commands from the first game to the fifth game of the special variation game when referring to the fourth special variation pattern table 134f. The configuration of the special variation command when referring to the table 134c to the third special variation pattern table 134e is the variation pattern No. 18 is the same as FIG. 18 except that is different. Therefore, the first to third special variation pattern tables 134c to 134e are not shown.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 determines a variation pattern command (including a special variation command) in the same manner as described above not only at the start of the game but also at the time of holding storage, The prefetch command is output to the effect control processing unit 201. The random numbers acquired at the time of hold storage are the same for both the prefetch command and the variation pattern command, and various lottery processes are performed based on these random numbers. Based on the lottery result, the variation pattern command (including special variation commands) or the prefetch Since the command is determined, both are basically the same command. However, in the case of losing and no reach, the main variation time differs depending on the number of reserved memories, so the variation time of special symbols was determined at the time of the pre-read command determined at the time of reserved storage and at the start of the game There may be cases where it differs from the fluctuation pattern command. The prefetch command determined in this way is used when determining the type of battle effect in the special variation game described later.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 determines whether the game state of the normal symbol at the start of variation of the normal symbol is the normal symbol high probability or the normal symbol low probability, and the determination result is In response to this, a predetermined normal symbol variation time is determined. Specifically, in the case of normal accuracy, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 determines the variation time related to the normal symbol to 2 seconds, and in the case of normal accuracy, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 The variation time for the normal symbol is determined to be 30 seconds.

  The payout / launch control processing unit 105 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate with each other, and is also connected to the CR unit so as to be able to communicate with each other via a relay board. By controlling the driving of the payout motor, a predetermined number of prize balls or balls are paid out, or the driving motor of the launching device 9 (a firing rotary solenoid may be used) according to the value of the firing volume By controlling the control, the game ball can be launched at a predetermined launch intensity, or the control of the ball feeding solenoid of the rectifier allows the game balls to be sent to the launching device 9 one by one. Is responsible. When the CR unit is not electrically connected to the payout / launch control processing unit 105, control is performed so that the game ball is not launched from the launching device 9.

  Up to this point, each process performed mainly by the main control processing unit 100 has been described, but from here on, the sub control processing unit 200 for receiving various commands and performing various effects will be described. The sub-control processing unit 200 controls the effect control processing unit 201 (described later in detail), the lamp control processing unit 202 for controlling various lamps such as a frame lamp and a panel lamp, and the control of the speaker 20 and the sound processor. And a voice control processing unit 203 for performing, and is provided on the back surface of the game board 3 via a support member or the like as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the effect control processing unit 201 displays an effect mode determining unit 210 for determining an effect mode and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 on the effect display device 34 as a processing unit. An effect display control unit 220 for controlling the holding ball, and a holding ball display control unit 230 for controlling the holding ball to be displayed in the holding ball display areas 34a and 34b.

  Further, the effect control processing unit 201 includes an effect mode storage unit 260 as a storage unit. In the effect mode storage unit 260, an effect pattern table 261 storing a plurality of types of effect modes (effect image data) 261a to 261c, and a plurality of types of effect modes (effect image data) 263, 264 used for the special variation game. A special variation game table 262 storing 265 is stored.

  The special variation game table 262 includes a first game dedicated table 263 used for the first game of the special variation game, a second game dedicated table 264 used for the second game, and a third game used for the third to fifth games. The fifth game dedicated table 265 is stored.

  The first game dedicated table 263 stores a 20-second battle warning effect. In the battle warning effect, when the first game of the special variation game is a big hit, that is, the special variation command is a variation pattern No. The jackpot battle warning effect (special system reach) selected when X11 to X14 are selected and the game is lost, that is, the special variation command is a variation pattern No. There is a battle warning sign that is selected when it is X15. The battle precursor effect has a content of displaying a message “save hold!” On the effect display device 34 while the effect symbol (dummy symbol) fluctuates for 20 seconds. Note that there is a difference between the jackpot battle warning effect and the lost battle warning effect in terms of whether or not all the symbols that are stopped and displayed at the end of the performance are all in the same pattern, but other effects Are the same. Therefore, the first battle of the special variation game is performed with the same battle warning effect from the start to the end of the game regardless of whether or not it is a big hit.

  The second game dedicated table 264 includes a battle win utilization table 264a and a battle defeat table 264b. The battle win use table 264a shows that when the game of the second game of the special variation game is a big hit (when the special variation command in the current game is the variation pattern No. X21 to X24) and 3 of the input special variation game This is a table in which effect modes (images) selected when the pre-read command for the fifth game is a jackpot command are stored. This battle win use table 264a stores a battle effect of 90 seconds. Although a specific example will be described later, this battle victory use table 264a stores “battle victory effect (first special variation effect)” in which the main character fights the enemy character and finally the main character wins. Has been. Note that when the prefetch command of the third to fifth games of the special variation game is a jackpot command, the prefetch command is a variation pattern No. This is the case of X31 to X34 (see FIG. 18C).

  On the other hand, in the battle defeat table 264b, when the game of the second game of the special variation game is lost (when the special variation command in the current game is variation pattern No. X25), This table is selected when the prefetch command for the fifth game is a lose command. This battle defeat table 264b stores a battle effect of 90 seconds. Although a specific example will be described later, this battle defeat table 264b stores a “battle defeat effect (second special variation effect)” in which the main character fights against an enemy character and eventually the main character loses. Has been. Note that when the prefetch command of the third to fifth games of the special variation game is a lose command, the prefetch command is a variation pattern No. This is the case with X35 (see FIG. 18C).

  In the 3rd to 5th game exclusive table 265, if the current game is a loss and the battle victory effect is performed in the second game of the special variable game, the 2-second victory change effect and this time When the game is lost, the 2 seconds lost change effect used when the battle defeat effect is performed in the second game of the special change game, and the 2 seconds used when this game is a big hit The jackpot display effect is stored. The victory variation effect of 2 seconds is an effect of the content that the effect symbol changes for 2 seconds in a state where a small message “Victory” is displayed on the upper right of the effect display device 34. The loss variation effect is an effect of the content that the effect symbol fluctuates for 2 seconds in the same manner as the normal loss change without displaying a message on the upper right of the effect display device 34. Note that both the victory variation effect and the loss variation effect have a special variation command with a variation pattern No. This is the case for X35. In the jackpot display effect, the special variation command has a variation pattern No. This is an effect mode selected in the case of X31 to 34, and the effect symbol changes, and after reaching, three symbols come together to stop and display that it is a big hit.

  The production mode determination unit 210 is one of the production tables 261a to 261c stored in the production mode storage unit 260 based on the first variation pattern command or the second variation pattern command sent at the start of the game. Referring to, the effect mode (effect image data to be used) used this time is determined. The normal mode effect table 261a is referred to when the game mode is the normal mode, the chance mode effect table 261b is referred to when the game mode is the chance mode, and the super chance mode effect table 261c is referred to as the game. Referenced when the mode is the super chance mode. That is, an effect table corresponding to the game mode is prepared.

  Although not shown in detail, each of the effect tables 261a to 261c stores a plurality of effect image data corresponding to the change pattern command, and more specifically, effect image data having different reach contents for each change time. A plurality are stored. For example, as the effect image data with a fluctuation time of 90 seconds, the types of images such as confrontation reach A, confrontation reach B, story reach A, story reach B, story reach C, live action reach A, live action reach B Data is available. Then, when the first or second variation pattern command is sent at the start of the game, the effect mode determination unit 210 is stipulated in the variation pattern command with reference to the effect table corresponding to the current game mode. One of the effect image data corresponding to the variation time and the reach content is selected by lottery. In this way, the effect mode used for the current game is determined.

  Furthermore, the production mode determination unit 210, based on the special variation command sent at the start of the game, the first game dedicated table 263 and the second game dedicated tables 264, 3-5 in the special variation game table 262. An effect mode to be used this time is determined by referring to a predetermined table from the game-only table 265 according to the game number in the special variation game. At this time, the production mode determination unit 210 determines the production mode in consideration of not only the special variation command but also the prefetch command. Details of the determination of the effect will be described later.

  The effect display control unit 220 controls the effect display device 34 to display the effect pattern determined by the effect mode determination unit 210. Further, the effect display control unit 220 displays special effects including battle effects over five games during the special variation game.

  In addition, upon receiving a command indicating that the reserved ball random number is stored from the main control processing unit 100, the reserved ball display control unit 230 displays white in the first reserved ball display area 34a or the second reserved ball display area 34b. It controls to display the holding ball of.

  Next, the game process procedure of the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 20. The game process and the second process when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a. The game process is the same when a game ball wins the start winning opening 37b. Therefore, in the following, the game process will be described only when a game ball has won the second start winning opening 37b, and the description when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether or not the game ball has won the second start winning opening 37b (step S1). When winning (Yes in step S1), the second special symbol success / failure determination random number acquiring unit 112b acquires a special symbol success / failure determination random number acquiring unit, and the second special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122b is a special symbol type determining unit. A random number for determination is acquired, and the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b acquires a random number for the special symbol variation pattern (step S2).

  When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changing (Yes in step S3), the special symbol success / failure determination random number acquired in step S2 is stored in the second special symbol reserved sphere random number storage unit 115b. The type determination random number is stored in the second special symbol type determination random number storage unit 124b, and the special symbol variation pattern random number is stored in the second special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133b (step S4-1).

  Next, in step S4-2, prefetch command determination processing is performed. In the prefetch command determination process, the following process is executed to determine the prefetch command. That is, whether or not the special symbol success / failure random number stored in step S4-1 is a big hit, whether the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b has a gaming state related to the special symbol at the time of holding storage (special symbol low accuracy or Is determined in advance with reference to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b (pre-judgment determination). Also, based on the special symbol type determination random number stored in step S4-1, the second special symbol type determination unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determination table 125b and determines the type of the second special symbol in advance. Decide (pre-determination of symbols).

  Then, the second special symbol variation pattern determining unit 135b determines whether the variation pattern tables 134a and 134b are based on the gaming state relating to the current special symbol and the gaming state relating to the normal symbol, and the above-described determination of whether or not the symbol is present. Referring to a predetermined table, a variation pattern command corresponding to the special symbol variation pattern random number stored in step S4-1 is selected, and the command is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 201 as a prefetch command.

  For example, the current gaming state is low probability (special figure low probability and normal figure low probability state, the game mode is the normal mode), and each random number value stored in step S4-1 is a special symbol success / failure When the determination random number is “100”, the special symbol type determination random number is “380”, and the special symbol variation pattern random number is “177”, the prefetch command is determined as follows.

  First, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b refers to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b to determine whether or not the special symbol appropriateness determination random number “100” is a big hit. As described above, in the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, the special symbol success / failure determination random number value is 0 to 218, so the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b indicates that it is a “hit”. Predetermined.

  Next, the second special symbol type determination unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determination table 125b, and the second special symbol type determination random number “380” corresponds to the special symbol type determination random number “380”. Since it is “design 4” (see FIG. 7), it is determined in advance that the type of the special design is “15R specific time short design 4”.

  Next, based on the low probability of the current gaming state, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b determines the table to be referred to as the normal variation pattern table 134a (see FIG. 13), and is further predetermined. From the information of “big hit” and “15R specified short time symbol 4”, the second special symbol fluctuation pattern determining unit 135b includes the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a-4 (big hit + 15R specific short time symbol design) of the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a. 4) (see FIG. 16B). In the normal pattern table 134a-4, the variation pattern command corresponding to the random number “177” for the special symbol variation pattern is the variation pattern No. Since it is 18D, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b uses the variation pattern No. 18D is determined as a prefetch command, and the variation pattern No. 18D (A3H07H) is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 201.

  In addition, the current gaming state is low probability (special figure low certainty and normal figure low certainty state, the game mode is the normal mode), and each random number value stored in step S4-1 is a special symbol success / failure When the random number for determination is “60000”, the random number for determining the special symbol type is “380”, the random number for the special symbol variation pattern is “15”, and the number of reserved memory is the fourth, the prefetch command is determined as follows: Is done.

  First, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b refers to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b to determine whether or not the special symbol appropriateness determination random number “60000” is a big hit. As described above, in the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, the special symbol success / failure determination random numbers 219 to 65535 are lost, so the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b indicates that it is “lost”. Predetermined.

  Next, the second special symbol type determination unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determination table 125b, and the second special symbol type determination random number “380” corresponds to the special symbol type determination random number “380”. In the case of “design 4”, since the pre-determining by the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b is a loss, the pre-determination regarding the type of the special symbol is not performed (handled as a lost symbol).

  Next, based on the low probability of the current gaming state, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b determines the table to be referred to as the normal variation pattern table 134a (see FIG. 13), and is further predetermined. The second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b determines that the normal variation pattern table 134a-7 of the normal variation pattern table 134a (in the case of loss + hold 4) is obtained from the information of “losing” and “number of stored 4”. Is determined as a table that references (see FIG. 17C). In the normal pattern table 134a-7, the variation pattern command corresponding to the special symbol variation pattern random number “15” is the variation pattern No. 15G, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b uses the variation pattern No. 15G is determined as a prefetch command, and the variation pattern No. 15G (A6H04H) is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 201.

  In the special variation game, the prefetch command is determined as follows. For example, the type of the special symbol at the time of the last jackpot winning is 15R specified short-time symbol 4, and the game based on the stored reserved ball random number is the fifth game of the special variation game (the 55th game after the jackpot game) The random number values stored in step S4-1 are “2000” for the special symbol success / failure determination random number, “200” for the special symbol type determination random number, and “109” for the special symbol variation pattern random number. ”.

  In this case, first, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b refers to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b to determine whether or not the special symbol appropriateness determination random number “2000” is a big hit. As described above, in the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b, the special symbol success / failure determination random numbers 0 to 2184 are jackpots. Predetermined.

  Next, when the second special symbol type determining unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determining table 125b, the type of the second special symbol corresponding to the special symbol type determining random number “200” is “15R specified short-lived”. Since it is “symbol 2” (see FIG. 7), it is determined in advance that the type of the special symbol is “15R specified short time symbol 2”.

  Next, since the type of the special symbol at the time of the last jackpot is 15R specified short-time symbol 4 and the current hold is the fifth game of the special variation game (55 games after the jackpot game), the second The special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b refers to the table of the third to fifth games (see FIG. 18C) of the fourth special variation pattern table 134f (see FIG. 18C). From the information of “symbol 2” and the random number “109” for the special symbol variation pattern, the variation pattern No. X32 (E01H40H) is determined as a prefetch command. Then, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b transmits the prefetch command to the effect control processing unit 201.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 18, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b changes the variation pattern No. 1 according to how many times the game stored and stored is the special variation game. X11-X15, No. X21-X25, No. X31 to X35 are transmitted to the effect control processing unit 201 as a prefetch command. The variation pattern No. X11-X14, no. X21-X24, no. X31 to X34 are jackpot commands. X15, No. X25, No. X35 is a lose command.

  When the process of step S4-2 ends, the process proceeds to step S4-3, and the reserved ball display control unit 230 displays a white reserved ball in the second reserved ball display area 34b. Then, the process returns to the position before step S3 and waits until the game order related to the current winning comes. If the upper limit of four reserved ball random numbers is already stored in the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the processing of steps S4-1 to S4-3 is not performed. Needless to say.

  On the other hand, if neither the first special symbol nor the second special symbol has changed, that is, if the game order has come (No in step S3), a special symbol hit determination process is performed in step S5. . That is, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b determines whether or not the special symbol success / failure determination random number acquired in step S2 is a big hit.

  Next, in step S6, a special symbol type determination process is performed. Specifically, if the result of the special symbol per unit determination process in step S5 is determined to be a big hit, the second special symbol type determining unit 124b is based on the special symbol type determining random number acquired in step S2. The type of the second special symbol for the jackpot is determined. That is, with reference to FIG. 7, one of “15R specified short time symbol 1” to “15R specific short time symbol 4” is determined in step S6. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that the game has been lost, the special symbol type determination random number has been acquired, but the processing of step S6 ends without determining the special symbol type based on the random number.

  Next, a special symbol variation pattern command determination process is performed in step S7. In the special symbol variation pattern command determination process, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b refers to the normal variation pattern table 134a or the shortened variation pattern table 134b based on the special symbol variation pattern random number acquired in step S2. To determine a second variation pattern command. However, when the current game is in a special variation game, a predetermined table is referred to from among the special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f to determine the game number of the special variation game. Based on this, a second variation pattern command (special variation command) in the current game is determined.

  Next, an effect mode determination process is performed in step S8. In this effect mode determination process, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to a predetermined table corresponding to the current game mode from the effect tables 261a to 261c, and determines the effect pattern corresponding to the second variation pattern command this time. The production pattern used in the game is determined. When the current game is a special variation game, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the special variation game table 262 to determine an effect mode corresponding to the special variation command.

  The process performed in step S8 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 21, when the effect mode determination process is started, first, in step S21, the effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not a special variation command has been input. As described above, this special variation command is input only for 5 games from the 21st game, the 31st game, the 41st game, and the 51st game after the jackpot game according to the type of the special symbol at the time of the jackpot. The In the case of Yes in step S21, that is, in the case of a special variation game, the process proceeds to step S22, and the production mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not the current game is the first game of the special variation game. .

  Whether or not this game is the first game of the special variation game can be determined by counting the types of special symbols at the time of winning the jackpot and the number of games after the jackpot game. It is also possible to analyze special variation commands. As shown in FIG. 18, when the fourth special variation pattern table 134f is referred to, the variation pattern command number is No. 1 for the first game of the special variation game. Since it is X11-X15, the production | presentation aspect determination part 210 can distinguish whether this game is the 1st game of a special variation game, if the number of a variation pattern command is confirmed.

  Next, in the case of Yes in step S22, the process proceeds to step S23, and the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the first game dedicated table 263 and determines the battle sign effect as the current effect mode. On the other hand, in the case of No in step S22, the process proceeds to step S24, and the effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not the current game is the second game of the special variation game. Note that the effect mode determination unit 210 has, for example, the change pattern command No. If it is X21 to X25, it can be determined that the current game is the second time of the special variation game. In the case of Yes in step S24, the effect mode determination unit 210 proceeds to step S25 and determines the effect mode with reference to the second game dedicated table 264.

  In this determination, the production mode determination unit 210 determines in step S26 whether the special variation command input at the start of the current game is a big hit (for example, whether the variation pattern No. X21 to X24). If it is Yse, the effect of the second game is determined to be the battle victory effect stored in the battle win use table 264a. On the other hand, in the case of No in step S26, the process proceeds to step S28, and the effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not a big hit is included in the reserved ball random number at the start of the current game. For example, a prefetch command for a game scheduled to be performed in the third to fifth games is a variation pattern No. The effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not X31 to X34 (big hit command).

  In the case of Yes in step S28, the process proceeds to step S27, and the effect mode determination unit 210 determines the effect used for the current game as the battle victory effect as in the case where the current game is a big hit. On the other hand, in the case of No in step S28, the effect used for the current game is determined as the battle defeat effect.

  In the case of No in step S24, the production mode determination unit 210 proceeds to step S30 and refers to the 3rd to 5th game dedicated table 265 with a predetermined production mode (winning variation production, loss variation production, jackpot display). Any of the effects) is determined as an effect to be used for the current game. Further, in the case of No in step S21, the process proceeds to step S31, where the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the effect pattern table 261 and uses a predetermined effect mode for the current game based on the game mode and the variation pattern command. Decided to produce.

When the effects of the special variation game performed for five games are summarized, it is as shown in FIG. In addition, the example of the production shown in FIG. 22 is a case where up to four reserved ball random numbers are stored in the first game of the special variation game.
(A) If the fifth game of the special variation game is a big hit:
The first game has a battle warning effect, the second game has a battle effect, the battle is won, the third and fourth games have a victory variation effect, and the fifth game has a jackpot displayed. The Then, a jackpot game is played.
(B) When the fourth game of the special variation game is a big hit:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is won, a victory variation effect is performed in the third game, and a big hit is displayed in the fourth game. Then, a jackpot game is played.

(C) When the third game of the special variation game is a big hit:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is won, and a jackpot is displayed in the third game. Then, a jackpot game is played.
(D) When the second game of the special variation game is a big hit:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is won, and a jackpot is displayed. Then, a jackpot game is played.

(E) When the first game of the special variation game is a big hit:
After a battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a jackpot is displayed. Then, a jackpot game is played.
(F) When all 5 games of special variation are lost:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is defeated, and a loss variation effect is performed in each of the third game, the fourth game, and the fifth game.

  As is clear from FIG. 22, when a battle effect is displayed in the second game of the special variation game, not only can a big win be expected in the second game, but also a big win in the third to fifth games. Therefore, the expectation degree of jackpot of the battle effect itself reflects four games from the second game to the fifth game. Therefore, the big hit expectation degree with respect to a battle effect will increase 4 times.

  Returning to FIG. 20, when the production mode is determined in step S8, the second special symbol display control unit 101b causes the special symbol display device 17 to start the variable display of the second special symbol in step S9. The display control unit 220 starts displaying the effect pattern determined in step S8 on the effect display device 34.

  Next, in step S10, the second special symbol display control unit 101b causes the special symbol display device 17 to stop display the second special symbol. At this time, the symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 17 is a winning symbol corresponding to the type of the second special symbol determined in step S6 when it is determined that the jackpot is determined in step S5. If it is determined in step S5 that the game has been lost, a lost symbol corresponding to the loss is obtained. In step S10, the display of the effect pattern is stopped and the predetermined effect symbol is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 34 in synchronization with the change stop of the second special symbol.

  Next, when the stopped second special symbol is confirmed with the jackpot combination (Yes in step S11), the jackpot game control unit 160 uses a predetermined attacker release pattern according to the type of the second special symbol as the attacker device. 41 is released and a jackpot game is provided (step S12). Next, in step S13, the gaming state setting unit 140 sets the gaming state of the special symbol and the normal symbol in the next game to a high probability state or a low probability state. More specifically, the gaming state setting unit 140 sets the gaming state related to the special symbols from the big hit game until the 70 games are played with high accuracy, and in the subsequent games and the initial state, the gaming state setting unit 140 sets the special state with low accuracy. Set. On the other hand, the game state related to the normal symbol is set with high accuracy by the game state setting unit 140 until the game with the number of times of the electric support corresponding to the type of the special symbol is performed. After that, it is usually set with low accuracy.

  When the game state in the next game is set in step S13, the process related to one game is completed. In the case of No in step S11, the game state of the next game is set by proceeding to step S13 without providing the jackpot game. If the answer is No in step S1, the game ends without playing the game.

  Next, specific examples of effects displayed during the special variation game will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 23 to 27 show specific examples in the case where the type of special symbol at the time of the previous jackpot winning is “15R specific time short symbol 4”. Therefore, FIGS. 23 to 27 illustrate the case where the special variation game is started from the 51st time.

Specific example in the case of (b) above (see FIGS. 23 and 24)
As shown in FIG. 23A, in the 51st game, a 20-second battle warning effect is performed. At this time, the message “Accumulate hold!” Is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34. This message is for alerting the player not to stop the release of the game ball in order to reflect the prefetch command of the third to fifth games at the time of the battle effect of the second game.

  FIG. 23 (b) shows a state in which four reserved balls are stored during the symbol variation of the 51st game. In this example, the fourth of the holding balls is the jackpot holding that won the jackpot. Therefore, the prefetch command corresponding to the hold 4 is a jackpot command (any one of the variation patterns Nos. X31 to X34). Then, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), when the variation of the 51st game starts and 20 seconds elapses, the variation of the 51st game stops, and the combination of effect designs of “1-2-3” indicating a loss Appears on the screen.

  In the 52nd game, a battle effect is performed. As shown in FIG. 23D, the main character (C1) is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the enemy character (C2) is displayed on the left side. And both will fight. This effect is performed for 90 seconds. During this time, the effect symbol is displayed in a small variation on the upper right of the screen.

  In this example, since hold 3 in FIG. 23D is a jackpot hold, as shown in FIG. 23E, the message “Victory!” Is displayed on the screen as a result of the battle effect (first special variation). Production is displayed). The player can see that the jackpot is included in any of the 53rd game to the 55th game by seeing the victory in the battle effect. Since the 52nd game is a loss, a combination of effect symbols “4-5-6” indicating a loss is displayed at the upper right of the screen.

  As shown in FIG. 24A, in the 53rd game, the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds, and a small “win” message is displayed on the upper right of the screen. Therefore, the player can also know from this message that the jackpot is included in the holding ball. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), in the 54th game, the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds, and a “Victory” message is displayed small in the upper right of the screen. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, since the 53rd game and the 54th game are losing, an effect design is stopped and displayed on a screen by the combination of losing.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 24C, when the change of the 55th game is started, as shown in FIG. 24D, “7-7-7” indicating that it is a big hit two seconds later. The effect design is stopped and displayed on the screen by the combination of Thereafter, a jackpot game is provided.

Specific example in the case of (to) above (see FIGS. 25 and 26)
As shown in FIG. 25A, in the 51st game, a 20-second battle warning effect is performed. At this time, the message “Accumulate hold!” Is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34. This message is for alerting the player not to stop the release of the game ball in order to reflect the prefetch command of the third to fifth games at the time of the battle effect of the second game.

  FIG. 25 (b) shows a state in which four reserved balls are stored during the symbol variation of the 51st game. In this example, all four of the holding balls are lost holding. Therefore, the prefetch commands corresponding to the suspensions 1 to 4 are all lost (any one of the variation patterns No. X15, X25, and X35). Then, as shown in FIG. 25 (c), when the variation of the 51st game starts and 20 seconds elapses, the variation of the 51st game stops, and the combination of effect designs of “1-2-3” indicating a loss Appears on the screen.

  In the 52nd game, a battle effect is performed. As shown in FIG. 25 (d), the main character (C1) is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the enemy character (C2) is displayed on the left side. And both will fight. This effect is performed for 90 seconds. During this time, the effect symbol is displayed in a small variation on the upper right of the screen.

  In this example, since all the holds in FIG. 25D are lost, as shown in FIG. 25E, a message “defeat” is displayed on the screen as a result of the battle effect (the second special variation effect is displayed). Is displayed). A player sees the defeat in this battle production and unfortunately knows that none of the 53rd game to the 55th game contains a jackpot. Since the 52nd game is a loss, a combination of effect symbols “4-5-6” indicating a loss is displayed at the upper right of the screen.

  As shown in FIG. 26A, in the 53rd game, the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds. At this time, no message is displayed on the upper right of the screen, and the effect is as if it was a normal loss variation. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds in the 54th game. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, since the 53rd game and the 54th game are losing, an effect design is stopped and displayed on a screen by the combination of losing. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), when the change of the 55th game is started, 2-7 seconds later, as shown in FIG. The effect symbol is stopped and displayed on the screen in the combination of “7”. After that, it returns to normal fluctuation.

Specific example in the case of (2) above (see FIG. 27)
As shown in FIG. 27A, in the 51st game, a 20-second battle warning effect is performed. At this time, the message “Accumulate hold!” Is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34. This message is for alerting the player not to stop the release of the game ball in order to reflect the prefetch command of the third to fifth games at the time of the battle effect of the second game.

  FIG. 27 (b) shows a state in which four reserved balls are stored during the symbol variation of the 51st game. In this example, the first of the holding balls is the jackpot holding that won the jackpot. Therefore, it is a big hit at the 52nd game. As shown in FIG. 27 (c), when the variation of the 51st game starts and 20 seconds elapses, the variation of the 51st game stops, and the combination of effect designs of “1-2-3” indicating a loss Appears on the screen.

  In the 52nd game, a battle effect is performed. As shown in FIG. 27D, the main character (C1) is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the enemy character (C2) is displayed on the left side. And both will fight. This effect is performed for 90 seconds. During this time, the effect symbol is displayed in a small variation on the upper right of the screen.

  In this example, since the 52nd game is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 27E, as a result of the battle effect, the message “Victory!” Is displayed on the screen (the first special variation effect is displayed). . At that time, the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper right of the screen with a combination of “7-7-7” indicating a big hit. Therefore, the player knows that it was a big hit in this game. Thereafter, a jackpot game is provided.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, a special variation game is always performed in any of the 21st game, the 31st game, the 41st game, and the 51st game after the jackpot game. Since the battle effect is always performed in the second game of the special variation game, the player can enjoy the game while looking forward to the battle effect. In addition, the battle effect reflects not only the game result of the second game but also the game result of the third game to the fifth game, so the player performed the battle effect. It can be expected that it will be a big hit in the 2nd game, and if you win in battle production, even if the 2nd game is lost, you must be in any game from the 3rd game to the 5th game. Because the jackpot comes, you can play with peace of mind while immersing the subsequent games in a sense of superiority.

  In the battle effect, not only when the result of the second game is a jackpot, but also when the result of the third to fifth games is a jackpot, the game is won. Expectations increase fourfold.

  In this embodiment, since the variation time of the first game of the special variation game is set to be as long as 20 seconds, it is easy to store the reserved ball up to the upper limit. Therefore, it becomes easy to reflect the prefetching results of the third to fifth games in the battle effect. Furthermore, since the variation time of the 3rd to 5th games is set to be as short as 2 seconds, if a battle effect is won, a big hit will occur immediately. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the path from the victory of the battle effect to the big hit, and to prevent the game from being extended (bad effects such as not being a big hit).

  In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine having a specification (so-called ST machine) in which a special figure is always highly accurate after a jackpot game and is shifted to a low figure after a predetermined number of games. Although applied, the present invention can also be applied to devices other than pachinko machines having such specifications. For example, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine having a specification that has a normal hit with a low special figure after a big hit game and a probable hit with a high special figure.

  In the present embodiment, the specific condition is that the number of games after the big hit game has reached a predetermined number of times. However, the so-called small hit is won and the number of games after the small hit game has reached the predetermined number of times. This may be a specific condition. Further, for example, five games immediately after the end of the jackpot game or immediately after the end of the jackpot game may be used as the special variation game. In addition, in the case of the pachinko machine provided with the above-described normal hit and probability change, it may be added that the winning per probability change is added as a specific condition.

  In this embodiment, for example, when only one game ball is won in the start winning opening 37a, 37b in the first game of the special variation game, the battle effect performed in the second game of the special variation game Will not reflect the look-ahead results from the third game onwards, and if the second game is lost, the battle effect performed at the second game will be defeated. However, if, for example, one game ball is won in the start winning opening 37a, 37b in the middle of the second game and the big win is won by the win, the jackpot display is performed in the third game. Since the game time is a short time of 2 seconds, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, because the game was defeated in the second game battle effect, the player would be disappointed with the result, but since the jackpot will be displayed suddenly in the second second game, the game will be revived after defeating in the battle effect. The player can be given the impression of winning. As described above, in this embodiment, the change time of the second game is increased to 90 seconds, and the change time of the third to fifth games is shortened to 2 seconds. Even if random numbers are not stored and a reserved ball random number is stored during the fluctuation of the second game, it is possible to perform an effect that leads to a victory from the defeat of the battle effect. .

  In addition, when there is no reserved ball random number at the start of the fluctuation of the second game as described above, the reserved ball random number is stored during the fluctuation of the second game and the reserved ball random number is a big hit. For example, the lamp control processing unit 202 causes a specific lamp to emit light, or the effect control processing unit 201 causes the effect display device 34 to display a cut-in display on the effect display device 34. You may alert | report that the jackpot was included in inside. Even if it does in this way, the appeal effect by a production increases.
