Sometimes it reaches the mouth 18.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the player plays a game (hereinafter referred to as “right-handed game”) so that the game ball flows down the right channel, so that the second start winning opening 15, the gate 19, The game ball can be directed to the first grand prize opening 18 or the second big prize opening 22. The game ball in this case reaches the gate 19 on the upstream side of the second start winning port 15 and each of the large winning ports 18 and 22, and is then arranged from the upstream side of the right channel. According to the order in which they are performed, the second start winning opening 15 → the second large winning opening 22 → the first large winning opening 18 will be reached.

  In the present embodiment, during the big hit game or the small hit game that is performed based on the opening of the first big winning opening 18, the left winning game or the right hit game is entered to the first big winning opening 18. It is comprised so that a game ball can enter efficiently. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a game ball is efficiently inserted into the second big winning opening 22 by right-handed gaming during a big hit game or a small hit game that is performed based on the opening of the second big winning opening 22. It is comprised so that it can be made to. That is, in the state of the big hit game performed based on the opening of the second big winning opening 22, it can be advantageous for the player over the left-handed game by the right-handed game.

  In addition, a prize ball remaining number display device 25 for displaying the number of unpaid balls indicating the total number of prize balls in an unpaid out state is mounted on the lower right side of the non-game area H2 of the game board 10. The award ball remaining number display device 25 displays the number of unpaid balls so that it can be specified by a player, a staff at a game hall, or the like. In addition, the prize ball remaining number display device 25 of this embodiment arranges three 7-segment LEDs in a side-by-side configuration, and emits a 3-digit number (000 to 999) or a 3-digit alphabet (for example, “FFF”). It can be displayed. For example, when a 3-digit number “048” is displayed on the award ball remaining number display device 25, it is informed that the number of unpaid out game balls is “48”. The award ball remaining number display device 25 is mounted at a position where the player who is playing the game can visually recognize the display contents in a state where the game board 10 is mounted on the pachinko gaming machine.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and the enlarged view of FIG. 1, the second start winning opening 15 is a second large winning opening arranged in the same area of the large winning opening, that is, the right area H1 (R). 22 and close. Moreover, the 2nd start winning opening 15 is the width | variety close | similar to the width | variety of the 2nd large winning opening 22 which adjoins among large winning openings, and has the same horizontally long rectangle. In the present embodiment, the second start winning opening 15 is formed to have a width that is narrower than the second large winning opening 22 but wider than half of the width (in this embodiment, approximately two-thirds). ing. In the present embodiment, the second grand prize opening 22 is formed with a width narrower than the width of the first big prize opening 18.

  The second start winning opening 15 is the same as the operation in which the second large winning opening 22 guides the game ball to the entrance 22a, that is, from the rising state for changing from the closed state to the open state to the forward state. The game ball is guided to the entrance 15a by the turning operation. The second start winning opening 15 has the same operation as the operation in which the second large winning opening 22 restricts the entry of the game ball into the entrance 22a, that is, the forward-turned state for changing from the open state to the closed state. The game ball is restricted from entering the entrance 15a by the turning operation from the stand up to the rising state.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the second start winning opening 15 is opened, the opening / closing door 16 having a similar shape close to the second large winning opening 22 is opened. The game ball is guided to the entrance 15a in the same manner as the game ball is guided to the entrance 22a. For this reason, in the situation where the second grand prize opening 22 is continuously opened, when the second starting prize opening 15 is opened after the completion of such continuous opening, the second big prize opening 22 is opened. It is expressed by directing as if the situation to be done is still being performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and an enlarged view of FIG. 1, the second start winning opening 15 has a width that occupies more than half of the flow path in the right region H1 (R) in the vicinity of the arrangement position. . Further, the second start winning opening 15 is disposed upstream of the right region H1 (R) of the second large winning opening 22.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the second start winning opening 15 is opened, most of the game balls flowing down the right region H1 (R) can be led to the entrance 15a. In the present embodiment, when the second big prize opening 22 is opened, if the second start prize opening 15 is also opened, most of the game balls flowing down the right region H1 (R) are entered. It is difficult to be guided to 22a. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the second big winning opening 22 is opened, most of the game balls flowing down the right region H1 (R) to the entering opening 22a if the second starting winning opening 15 is closed. It can be guided.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a probability variation state that is advantageous to the player may be given. When the probability variation state is given, the winning probability (lottery probability) of the jackpot lottery is changed (improved) from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability. The probability variation state is given until the next jackpot is generated (until the next time). The probability variation state is advantageous to the player because the winning probability of the big hit lottery varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment may be given a state in which the variation time is shortened (hereinafter referred to as “variation”). During the variable state, the variation time of the variable game may be shortened (can be shortened) as compared to the non-variable state (normal state to which the variable state is not given). There is a case where the variation time of the variation game in which is confirmed and stopped is shortened. Further, during the variable state, the variation time of the normal drawing game is shortened as compared with that during the non-variable state, and the winning probability (lottery probability) of the lottery based on the passage through the gate 19 is low. Fluctuated with high probability. Further, during the variable speed state, the total opening time of the door 16 based on the fact that one lottery per lottery is won is longer than that in the non-variable state. The variable state is given until a “100 times (granting upper limit number)” variable game, which is a predetermined upper limit number, is played, or until the next big hit occurs.

  In this way, during the variable speed state, the open / close door 16 operates favorably for the player, and the rate of entering the second start winning opening 15 per unit time is improved, so that the specific gaming state advantageous for the player is achieved. Become. The variable speed state is an open time increasing state in which the opening time of the opening / closing door 16 per unit time is increased, and is also a ball entering rate improving state in which the ball entering rate to the second start winning opening 15 is improved.

  Since the opening and closing door 16 is easily opened by passing the game ball through the gate 19 efficiently, the opening time is longer than that in the non-variable state, so that the game ball can efficiently enter the second start winning opening 15. In a variable state where it is possible, a right-handed game can be more advantageous to the player than a left-handed game. As a result, in the variable state where the right-handed game is advantageous, the second variable game is mainly performed in consideration of the fact that the second variable game is preferentially performed.

  On the other hand, even if the game ball is passed through the gate 19 efficiently, the open / close door 16 is difficult to open and its opening time is shorter than the variable state, so it is difficult to enter the game ball into the second start winning opening 15. In such an unchangeable state, a left-handed game can be more advantageous to the player than a right-handed game. As a result, in the non-variable state where the left-handed game is advantageous, the first variation game is mainly performed considering that it is difficult to obtain the start condition of the second variation game.

Next, the jackpot game and the jackpot game specified in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.
The big hit game is displayed after the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the variable game (the special symbol and the symbol variable game based on the decoration diagram), and is started after the end of the variable game. When the big hit game is started, the round game in which the big winning opening is opened is set to a predetermined number of rounds (R) as a maximum number of times (in this embodiment, “15 times”, 15 rounds, 10 rounds “ 10 times "or 5 rounds (" 5 times "). In one round game, the opening / closing of the big prize opening door of the big prize opening is performed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, “once”). Then, during a single round game, the big winning opening is for a predetermined number (8 or 9 in this embodiment) of game balls to win, or for R seconds (rounds). The game time is released until a predetermined time (25 seconds, 8 seconds, or 0.04 seconds in this embodiment) elapses. In the big hit game, the big prize opening is opened once during a round game for each round game, and the game is opened 15 times or 5 times in total. In round games, round effects are performed. The big hit game is terminated after the final opening of the grand prize opening in the final round game, and is terminated after the final opening.

  In the present embodiment, at the start of the big hit game, the big hit game is played during the first opening of the big winning opening based on the big hit game after the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the variable game (the symbol variable game by the decorative drawing). In some cases, an opening effect for notifying that the game is started is performed during the jackpot game. That is, when the opening effect is performed during the big hit game in this way, the first prize opening is opened after the opening effect ends. Further, in the present embodiment, at the end of the big hit game, an ending effect for notifying that the big hit game will be ended during the next variable game after the end of the last opening of the big prize opening based on the big hit game May be played during the jackpot game. That is, when the ending effect is performed during the big hit game in this way, the next variable game is performed after the end of the ending effect.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined (selected) from the multiple types (13 types in the present embodiment) of big wins shown in FIG. The jackpot game based on is awarded. Which of the 13 types of jackpots is to be determined is determined according to the type of special figure (jacket symbol) determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the jackpot symbols of 100 types of special figures are classified for each special figure as shown in FIG. In the special bonus jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot is specified, and in addition to the jackpot game (the big winning opening to be opened and its opening mode), whether or not the jackpot game is set to be in a probable state. And a gaming state based on whether or not to change into a variable state. In addition, in the special chart small hit design, by specifying the small hit, in addition to the small hit game (open winning opening and its opening mode), winning as the game state after the end of the small hit game It is specified to continue (maintain the current situation) in the gaming state at the time. For this reason, in this embodiment, the special figure (especially the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol) indicates the game state after the end of the big hit game or the small hit game, and the big hit game or the small hit game based on the opening of the big winning opening. It becomes hit information to identify.

  And, as the jackpot symbol of Special Figure 1, there are 4 types for symbol A, 18 types for symbol B, 22 types for symbol C, 11 types for symbol D, 25 types for symbol E, There are 8 types for symbol F, 8 types for symbol G, and 4 types for symbol H. In addition, as a small hit symbol of the special figure 1, one type is assigned to the symbol I. In addition, as the big hit symbol of Special Figure 2, there are 25 types for symbol a, 25 types for symbol b, 30 types for symbol c, 5 types for symbol d, 5 types for symbol e, Ten types of symbols are assigned to the symbol f. Moreover, as the small hit symbol of the special figure 2, one type is assigned to the symbol g.

  In addition, the special figure distribution random number, which will be described later, is used for determining the special figure jackpot symbol, and the special figure is determined based on the extracted value of the special figure distribution random number. In the special figure jackpot symbol, for each special figure, a numerical value that can be taken by the random number for special figure distribution (in this embodiment, all 100 integer values from 0 to 99) are given in a predetermined number (this implementation) (In the form, one by one). For this reason, the jackpot symbol of the special figure is uniquely determined if the value of the random number for special figure distribution is specified. In addition, for determining the small hit symbol of the special figure, a random number for small hit symbol distribution described later is used, and the special figure is determined based on the extracted value of the random number for small hit symbol distribution. For the small hit symbol of the special figure, a numerical value that can be taken by the random number for small hit symbol distribution for one of the symbols I or g (in the present embodiment, all 11 kinds of integer values from 0 to 10). Is distributed. For this reason, the special symbol small hit symbol is a special symbol determined in advance regardless of the value of the random symbol for small hit symbol distribution.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined that the same first big prize opening 18 is opened in the symbols A to I (including the symbol I which is a small hit symbol) as the special symbol 1 and the special symbol 2. The symbol a to the symbol g (including the symbol g that is a small hit symbol) are defined to open the same second big prize opening 22. In the big hit game (including the small hit game) in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened, the specified number is set to “8 balls” and the big hit game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened ( (Including small hit games), the specified number is set to “9 balls”.

First, the jackpot game based on the symbols A to H as the special figure 1 will be described.

The opening mode (maximum opening time) of the first big winning opening 18 in the round (6R) to the 10th round (10R) is set to “25 seconds”. That is, in the jackpot game in this case, after the operation of opening the first big winning opening 18 for “0.04 seconds” is repeated five times, the operation for opening the first big winning opening 18 for “25 seconds” is repeated five times. I will let you. Hereinafter, the big hit based on the symbol C is called “big hit C”, and the big hit based on the symbol G is called “big hit G”.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbols D and H, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “5”. In the jackpot game based on the symbols D and H, the opening mode (maximum opening time) of the first big winning opening 18 in the first round (1R) to the fifth round (5R) is set to “25 seconds”. . That is, in the big hit game in this case, the operation of opening the first big winning opening 18 for “25 seconds” is repeated five times. Hereinafter, the big hit based on the symbol D is called “big hit D”, and the big hit based on the symbol H is called “big hit H”.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbol E, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “5”. In the jackpot game based on the symbol E, the opening mode (maximum opening time) of the first big winning opening 18 in the first round (1R) to the fifth round (5R) is set to “0.04 seconds”. . That is, in the big hit game in this case, the operation of opening the first big winning opening 18 for “0.04 seconds” is repeated five times. Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol E is referred to as “jackpot E”.

Next, the jackpot game based on the symbols a to f as the special figure 2 will be described.
Specifically, in the jackpot game based on the symbols a and d, the specified number of rounds is set to “15”. In the jackpot game based on the symbols a and d, the opening mode (maximum opening time) of the second big winning opening 22 in the first round (1R) is “25 seconds”, and the second round (2R) to the 15th round The opening mode (maximum opening time) of the second large winning opening 22 of (15R) is set to “8 seconds”. That is, in the big hit game in this case, after the operation of opening the second big prize opening 22 for “25 seconds” is performed once, the operation of opening the second big prize opening 22 for “8 seconds” is repeated 14 times. become. Hereinafter, the big hit based on the symbol a is called “big hit a” and the big hit based on the symbol d is called “big hit d”.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbols b and e, the specified number of rounds is set to “10”. In the jackpot game based on the symbols b and e, the opening mode (maximum opening time) of the second big winning opening 22 in the first round (1R) is “25 seconds”, and the second round (2R) to the tenth round The opening mode (maximum opening time) of the second major winning opening 22 of (10R) is set to “8 seconds”. That is, in the big hit game in this case, after the operation of opening the second big prize opening 22 for “25 seconds” is performed once, the operation of opening the second big prize opening 22 for “8 seconds” is repeated nine times. become. Hereinafter, the big hit based on the symbol b is called “big hit b”, and the big hit based on the symbol e is called “big hit e”.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbols c and f, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “5”. In the jackpot game based on the symbols c and f, the opening mode (maximum opening time) of the second big winning opening 22 in the first round (1R) is “25 seconds” and the second round (2R) to the fifth round The opening mode (maximum opening time) of the second large winning opening 22 of (5R) is set to “8 seconds”. That is, in the jackpot game in this case, after the operation of opening the second big prize opening 22 for “25 seconds” is performed once, the operation of opening the second big prize opening 22 for “8 seconds” is repeated four times. become. Hereinafter, the big hit based on the symbol c is referred to as “big hit c”, and the big hit based on the symbol f is referred to as “big hit f”.

  In addition, in the small hit game based on the symbol I which is the special figure 1 and the symbol g which is the special figure 2, the small hit symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the variable game (the symbol variable game by the special figure and the decorative figure). It starts after the end of the variable game. In addition, in the small hit game, the number of times of opening the big winning opening is set to “1”, and the opening mode (maximum opening time) of the big winning opening is set to “0.04 seconds”. That is, in the small hit game in this case, the operation of opening the big winning opening for “0.04 seconds” is performed only once. Hereinafter, the small hit based on the symbol I is referred to as “small hit I”, and the small hit based on the symbol g is referred to as “small hit g”.

  The round game in which the opening mode of the special winning opening is set to “25 seconds” or “8 seconds” may end when a predetermined number of game balls enter. In other words, “25 seconds” or “8 seconds” is the maximum time for the total opening time of such round games. On the other hand, in a round game in which the opening mode of the big prize opening is set to “0.04 seconds”, a specified number of game balls cannot enter. That is, “0.04 seconds” is the maximum time for the total opening time of such round games.

  For this reason, the jackpot game based on the jackpots A to D and F to H is for five times in which the release mode in which a game ball can be won by winning the first grand prize port 18 to obtain a prize ball is “25 seconds”. ("Real R" is "5R"). The jackpot game based on the jackpot E is configured as a round game in which it is difficult to make a game ball enter the first big winning opening 18 (“substantially R” is “0 (zero) R”).

  In addition, the jackpot game based on the jackpots a and d is a one-time mode in which the release mode in which the game ball can be won by substantially winning the game ball to the second grand prize winning port 22 is “25 seconds”, and the release mode is It consists of 14 rounds of games that are “8 seconds” (“Real R” is “15R”). In addition, the jackpot game based on the jackpots b and e is a one-time mode in which the release mode in which the game ball can be won by substantially winning the game ball to the second grand prize winning port 22 is “25 seconds”, and the release mode is It consists of 9 rounds of “8 seconds” (“Real R” is “10R”). In addition, the big hit game based on the big hits c and f is a one-time mode in which the release mode in which the game ball can be won by substantially winning the game ball in the second big winning opening 22 and “25 seconds” is obtained, It consists of four rounds of “8 seconds” (“Real R” is “5R”).

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit game based on the big hits a to f as the special figure 2, the opening mode of the first round is set longer than the second round, and further, the opening mode after the second round. The opening mode of the first round in the jackpot game based on the jackpot a to f which is the special figure 2 is an opening mode in which the winning ball can be substantially acquired with the jackpots A to D and F to H which are the special chart 1 It is set to be the same as “25 seconds”. On the other hand, in the big hit game based on the big hits a to f, which is the special figure 2, the winning mode in the second round and after is set shorter than the opening mode in the first round, but substantially wins a prize ball in all round games. I also try to do it. For this reason, in the big hit game based on the big hits a to f, which is the special figure 2 of the present embodiment, all round games are opened in the open mode “25 seconds” while setting a round game that can substantially win a prize ball. The digestion time of the big hit game is shortened compared with the case where it performs.

  In addition, in the small hit game based on the small hit I and the small hit g in which the opening mode of the big winning opening is set to “0.04 seconds”, a predetermined number of game balls cannot enter. In other words, “0.04 seconds” is the maximum time for the total opening time of such small hit games.

  After the jackpot game based on each jackpot symbol is completed, a gaming state corresponding to the type of the jackpot symbol and the state of winning the jackpot (the state when the jackpot is won) is given. In addition, after the small hit game based on the small hit symbol is completed, the game state at the time of winning the small hit is continued (currently maintained). That is, in the small hit I and the small hit g, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning, the probability variation state is continued after the end of the small hit game (maintenance is maintained), while the probability variation state is not imparted. For example, it will continue (maintain the current status) even after the end of the small hit game and will not give a certain change state. In addition, in the small hit I and small hit g, if the variable state is given at the time of winning, the variable state is continued (maintained) after the end of the small hit game, while the variable state is given. If it is not done, it will continue (maintain the current state) even after the end of the small hit game, and no change state will be given.

First, the big hits A to H as the special figure 1 will be described.
After the big hit game based on the big hit A, regardless of the big hit state, regardless of the state at the time of the big hit, it will be given a variable state until the next time together with the probable change state, "high probability" as the winning probability after the big hit, “Next time” is given as the post-change state.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hits B to D, if the big hit state is “low + no”, the probability change state is not given while the probability change state is given, so “High accuracy” and “0 (zero) times” are assigned as the state of change after big hit. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the big hits B to D, if the big hit state is “High + No”, “Low + Yes” or “High + Yes”, until the next time together with the probability change state, By giving the variable state, “high probability” is given as the winning probability after the big hit, and “next time” is given as the variable state after the big hit.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hit E, if the big hit state is “low + no” or “high + no”, the probability change state is given while the variable state is not given. “High probability” is given as the subsequent winning probability, and “0 (zero) times” is given as the variable after the big hit. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the big hit E, if the big hit state is “low + present” or “high + present”, the variable state will be given until the next time together with the probability change state. Therefore, “high probability” is given as the winning probability after the big hit, and “next time” is given as the short-term success state after the big hit.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hits F to H, if the big hit state is “low + no”, the probability of winning after the big hit is determined by not giving the variable state while giving the non-probable change state. "Low probability" is given, and "0 times" is given as a change state after big hit. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the big hit F to H, when the big hit state is “high + no”, “low + exist”, or “high + exist”, it is “100 times” together with the non-probable change state. By giving a variable state to a variable game of minutes, “low probability” is given as the winning probability after the big hit, and “100 times” is given as the variable state after the big hit.

Next, the big hit af which is the special figure 2 is demonstrated.
After the big hit game based on the big hits a to c, regardless of the state of the big hit, regardless of the state at the time of the big hit, the variable state is given until the next time together with the probable change state, so that the winning probability after the big hit is “high probability” Then, “next time” is given as a state of change after big hit. In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hits d to f, regardless of the state of the big hit, the variable state is given to the variable game for “100 times” together with the uncertain change state, “Low probability” is given as the winning probability after the big hit, and “100 times” is given as the variable state after the big hit.

  Note that “big hit state” means the game state when the big hit is won (when the big hit is won), and “probability after the big hit” is the probability lottery state of the big win after the end of the big hit game (small hit game) That is, it means whether or not it is in a probable variation state. Further, “changed state after big hit” means whether or not the changed state is after the end of the big hit game (small hit game). In the present embodiment, “low + no” means a non-probabilistic state and a non-variable state, “low + present” means a non-probable state and a short state, and “high + no” means a probable state and non-variable state. It means a variable state, and “high + present” means a probable state and a variable state. Further, “low + no” or “high + no” collectively means a non-variable state, and “low + present” or “high + present” collectively mean a variable state.

  Further, in the big hit game based on each big hit symbol, an opening time (“OP”) is set as an effect time for performing the opening effect during the big hit game according to the type of the big hit symbol and the state of the big hit.

First, the big hits A to H as the special figure 1 will be described.
In the big hit game based on the big hits A to H, when the big hit time state is “low + no” or “high + no”, a finite time (> “0 (zero) seconds”) is set as the opening time. In the big hit game based on the big hit E, “4.3 seconds” is set as the opening time, while in the big hit game based on other big hits, “5 seconds” is set as the opening time. On the other hand, in the big hit game based on the big hits A to H, when the big hit time state is “low + present” or “high + present”, the opening time itself is not set, that is, “0 (zero) shorter than the finite time” Second "is set. In the small hit game based on the small hit I, when the winning time is “low + no” or “high + no”, the opening time has a finite time (in this embodiment, “10.46 seconds”). Is set. On the other hand, in the small hit game based on the small hit I, when the winning time is “low + present” or “high + present”, the opening time itself is not set, that is, “0 (zero) seconds” is set. become.

Next, the big hit af which is the special figure 2 is demonstrated.
In the big hit game based on the big hits a to f, the opening time itself is not set regardless of the big hit time state, that is, “0 (zero) seconds” is set. In the small hit game based on the small hit g, the opening time itself is not set, that is, “0 (zero) seconds” is set regardless of the state at the time of winning.

  Therefore, with regard to the big hits A to H (small hits I), which are the special figure 1, in the scene where the big hits (small hits) are won in the non-changed short state, the opening effect based on the opening time is being played during the big hit game (small It is stipulated to be performed during a hit game. On the other hand, with regard to the big hits A to H (small hits I) which are special figures 1, the opening effect is performed during the big hit game (during the small hit game) in the scene where the big hit (small hit) is won in the variable state. It is stipulated not to be allowed. Note that the big hits A to H (small hits I), which are special figures 1, are mainly winning scenes of big hits (small hits) in the unchanged short state, so the big hit games based on these (small hit games) ), The opening effect based on the opening time is usually performed. On the other hand, with regard to the big hits a to f (small hit g), which are special figures 2, the opening effect is being played in the big hit game even in the case of winning the big hit (small hit) in both the non-changed state and the variable state ( It is stipulated not to be played during small hit games. Note that the big hits a to f (small hits g), which are special figures 2, are mainly winning big hits (small hits) in a variable state, but during the big hit games (small hit games) based on these The opening production is not performed regardless of the state.

  Also, in the jackpot game based on each jackpot symbol, an ending time (“ED”) is set as an effect time for performing the ending effect during the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot symbol and the state of change after the jackpot. .

First, the big hits A to H as the special figure 1 will be described.
In the big hit game based on the big hits A to H, if the short-time change state after the big hit is “0”, a finite time (> “0 (zero) seconds”) is set as the ending time. In the big hit game based on the big hit E, “5 seconds” is set as the ending time, while in the big hit game based on other big hits, “10 seconds” is set as the ending time. On the other hand, in the big hit game based on the big hits A to H, when the change state after the big hit is “next time” or “100 times” (> “0 times”), the ending time itself is not set, that is, more than the finite time. A short “0 (zero) second” is set. For this reason, in this embodiment, in the big hit game based on the big hit A to which the variable state is given regardless of the big hit time state, the ending time is not always set. In the small hit game based on the small hit I, a finite time (in this embodiment, “5 seconds”) is set as the ending time when the small hit game is not changed after the end of the small hit game. On the other hand, in the small hit game based on the small hit I, when the small hit game ends after the end of the small hit game (> “0 times”), the ending time itself is not set, that is, “0 (zero) seconds” is set. Will be set.

Next, the big hit af which is the special figure 2 is demonstrated.
In the big hit game based on the big hits a to f, it is stipulated that the ending effect based on the ending time is not performed during the big hit game, regardless of the short and long state after the big hit. In the small hit game based on the small hit g, the ending time itself is not set regardless of the state after the small hit game, that is, “0 (zero) seconds” is set.

  For this reason, with regard to the big hits A to H (small hits I) as shown in FIG. 1, in the scene where the end of the big hit game (small hit game) based on these becomes an invariable state, an ending effect based on the ending time is provided. It is stipulated to be played during big hit games (during small hit games). On the other hand, with respect to the big hits A to H (small hits I) which are the special figure 1, the grant period is “0 times” for the length of the grant state in the variable state, that is, compared to the case where the short state is not given. In a scene where the state of change after a big hit becomes a state of change for a long time, the ending effect based on the ending time is not performed during the big hit game (during the small hit game). Special hits A to H (Small Hits I), which are special figures 1, are mainly for winning big hits (small hits) in the non-changed short state, so the conditions for the non-changed state at the time of winning are as follows. Thus, during the big hit game (small hit game) based on these, an ending effect based on the ending time is performed. On the other hand, for the big hits a to f (small hit g), which is the special figure 2, the ending effect is being played in the big hit game even in the case of winning the big hit (small hit) in both the non-changed state and the variable state ( It is stipulated not to be played during small hit games. Note that the big hits a to f (small hits g), which are special figures 2, are mainly winning big hits (small hits) in a variable state, but during the big hit games (small hit games) based on these The ending production is not performed regardless of the state.

  Also, in the jackpot game based on each jackpot symbol that is special figure 1 and special figure 2, the time between opening after the opening of one big winning opening is made possible, that is, the big prize “1.5 seconds” is set as the opening interval time (“seconds between R”) that is the time between opening of the mouth. In this embodiment, in principle, the opening interval time is set after the completion of one opening of the big prize opening, and the opening interval time is also set after the opening of the last big winning opening based on the jackpot game. It is configured as follows. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when an ending effect based on the ending time is performed during the big hit game, the ending time is increased with the elapse of the release interval time after the opening of the last big winning opening based on the big hit game. Configured to set.

  In the big hit game based on the small hit I and the small hit g, the opening interval time is set after the completion of one opening of the big winning opening. For this reason, in this embodiment, when an ending effect based on the ending time is performed during the small hit game, after the opening of one big winning opening based on the small hit game, the opening interval time has passed. It is configured to set the ending time.

In this way, the main control CPU 30a that determines and sets the opening time and the ending time functions as effect time determining means.
Further, according to the distribution of the big hit symbol (special figure) of the present embodiment, in the second variable game (100/100), the special figure having “real R” of 1 or more is the first variable game (75/100). ) Is more distributed than Also, in the second variation game (60/100), special figures having a “real R” of 10 or more are distributed more than in the first variation game (0/100). In addition, when the big hit is won in the second variable game, the short / short state is given regardless of the type of big hit or the hit state. On the other hand, in the case of winning a big hit in the first variable game that is mainly performed in the non-changed state, there is a high possibility that the changed state will not be given after the end of the big win game. Therefore, the second variable game is configured to be advantageous to the player as a result of the possibility that the profit for the player is greater than that of the first variable game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, with respect to the special figure 1, the same big winning opening is opened in the same opening manner, that is, big hit A, B and big hit F, big hit C and big hit G, big hit D and By making each of the big hits H recognizable in terms of appearance, it is impossible to discriminate visually. Further, in the present embodiment, with regard to the special figure 2, the same big winning opening is opened in the same opening manner, that is, big hit a and big hit d, big hit b and big hit e, big hit c and big hit f By making it possible to recognize that the production is the same between the productions, it is impossible to discriminate visually.

  In addition, in the special figure 1, regarding the big hit E and the small hit I, the same big prize opening is opened in different opening modes, but the production is discriminated on the production by making it visually recognizable. It has become impossible. That is, in the small hit game based on the small hit game I, the opening time and the ending time that can be set are different from the big hit game based on the big hit E, so that the longest time from the start to the end of the big hit game and the big hit game is the same Has been adjusted.

  In addition, in this embodiment, in order not to be able to discriminate visually in relation to the production, between the big hit game and the small hit game to be compared, The effects are set so that the difference cannot be visually discerned even from the effects during the big hit game or the small hit game.

  In the present embodiment, it is difficult for the player to determine whether or not the probability variation state is between the big hit or the small hit so that the difference in appearance cannot be visually discriminated, and the probability variation state is hidden. It creates game characteristics (hereinafter referred to as “latent game characteristics”). In addition, between big hits and small hits so that the difference in appearance cannot be discerned visually, after the big hit game can be either a probable change state or a non-probable change state, a variable state is given The aspect may be the same between them.

Next, the transition mode of the production mode accompanying the transition transition of the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described based on FIG.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of presentation modes (five types in the present embodiment) are provided for executing a symbol variation game using decorative drawings in order to create a latent game characteristic. Specifically, a normal mode MA, a special mode MB, a preparation mode MC, a continuous villa mode MD, and a main continuous villa mode ME are prepared. In each effect mode, a corresponding background image is displayed on the effect display device 11.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 displays an image of a background image that is displayed in association with the symbol variation game based on the decoration, and displays the decorations in each column so as to overlap the background image. By displaying these decorative drawings in a variable manner, a symbol variation game based on the decorative drawings is executed. And in this embodiment, various effect modes are performed with the background image displayed on the effect display apparatus 11, and a player can grasp | ascertain the kind of effect mode currently staying from the kind of background image. ing. The background image in the present embodiment is an image that can be configured except for the decoration diagram displayed in the symbol variation game by the decoration diagram, and is displayed in association with each decoration diagram that is variably displayed in the symbol variation game by the decoration diagram. It is different from what is done.

  And in this embodiment, the transition to the production mode according to the kind (special drawing or decoration drawing) of a win is defined by the win of a big hit or a small win. In this case, a transition is made from the production mode that was staying just before to the corresponding production mode.

  Specifically, during the normal mode MA set with a high possibility of being in a non-probability change state, it is possible to expect that it is expected to be in a probabilistic change state triggered by winning of big hit E, small hit I and small hit g Transition to the special mode MB informing the user. Further, during normal mode MA or special mode MB, big hit A, big hits B to D, F to H (hereinafter referred to as “big hit B to D, F to H (high)”), and big hits As a result of winning a to f, there is a transition to the continuous mode MD that can be expected to be in a promising state and can be expected to win consecutive big hits. In addition, during normal mode MA or special mode MB, the big hits B to D, F to H (hereinafter referred to as “big hits A to D, F to H (low)”) from the non-probable change state are triggered. The transition to the preparation mode MC in which the transition to the Renso mode MD can be expected is performed.

  Further, during the special mode MB, after staying for “9 times” of the variation game, the transition from the tenth variation game to the normal mode MA is performed. In addition, during the special mode MB, the transition to the special mode MB is made in response to the winning of the big hit E, the small hit I, and the small hit g again.

  Further, during the preparation mode MC, after staying for “9 times” of the variation game, the transition from the tenth variation game to the normal mode MA is performed. Further, during the preparation mode MC, the big hit A, the big hits B to D, F to H (high), and the big hits a to f are triggered to make a transition to the extended play mode MD. In addition, during the preparation mode MC, the transition to the preparation mode MC is made in response to the winning of the big hits B to D, F to H (low), the big hit E, the small hit I, and the small hit g.

  In addition, during consecutive games mode MD, when winning big hits F to H and big hits d to f, after staying for “100 times” of a variable game, “ The game is shifted from the fluctuation game after “101 times” to the normal mode MA. In addition, during consecutive games mode MD, when winning big hits A to D and big hits a to c, as a trigger, after staying for “100 times” fluctuating games, “101 The game is shifted from the change game after “Time” (“Change over 100 times”) to the main consecutive villa mode ME. In addition, during the consecutive-village mode MD, the transition to the consecutive-village mode MD is made in response to the winning of the big hits A to D, F to H and the big hits a to f. Further, during the consecutive villa mode MD, the transition to the main villa mode ME is made with the winning of the big hit E. In addition, during the extended-village mode MD, the extended-village mode MD is continued with the winning of the small hit I and the small hit g as a trigger.

  In addition, during this consecutive villa mode ME, a transition to the consecutive villa mode MD is made in response to the winning of the big hits A to D, F to H and the big hits a to f. In addition, during the main consecutive villa mode ME, a transition to the main consecutive villa mode ME is made in response to the winning of the big hit E. In addition, during the main consecutive villa mode ME, the main consecutive villa mode ME is continued with the winning of the small hit I and the small hit g as a trigger.

  That is, during the normal mode MA or the special mode MB, the player can stay when the game state is “low + no” or “high + no”, and is mainly in the first variable game because of the non-changeable state. Done. For this reason, during the normal mode MA or the special mode MB, the variable state is not given unless the big hit A is won in the first variation game mainly performed, or the big hits B to D, F to Even if H is won, it is positioned as a state where no change state is given (hereinafter referred to as “normal zone”). Note that during the normal mode MA, “normal” characters are displayed on the image display unit GH, and during the special mode MB, “special” characters are displayed on the image display unit GH.

  In addition, during the consecutive-village mode MD, the user can stay when the game state is “low + present” or “high + present” and the variable state is given to at least “100” variable games. At the same time, the second variation game is mainly performed because of the variable state. For this reason, during consecutive resort mode MD, such a period can be obtained continuously by winning a big hit in the second variable game mainly performed in a period of at least “100 times” of the variable game. That can be used (hereinafter referred to as “renzo zone”). It should be noted that during such a consecutive-village mode MD, the characters “renzo” are displayed on the image display unit GH.

  Also, during the preparation mode MC, after the timing of transition due to big hits that are not low hits such as big hits B to D, F to H (low) when the gaming state is "low + no" or "high + no", It is possible to stay in the “9 times” fluctuation game and to expect a promising state because at least the big hit is the trigger for the transition. For this reason, during the preparation mode MC, although it is a limited period such as “9 times” of a variable game, if it is a probable change state, even after the transition to the normal mode MA, The winning state is given a variable state, and is positioned as a state (hereinafter referred to as “preparation zone”) that is in a preparation stage in which the transition to the villa zone is made. During such a preparation mode MC, the characters “preparation” are displayed on the image display unit GH.

  In addition, during the Renrenso mode ME, the game state is “high + present” and the user can stay when the probable state and the variable state are given to the variable game up to the next big hit, and the variable state Since it is in the state, the second variation game is mainly performed. For this reason, the main extended zone mode ME is positioned as a particularly advantageous state in which the next extended zone zone can be obtained continuously among the extended zone zones. It should be noted that during the Honrenso mode ME, the characters “Honrenso” are displayed on the image display unit GH.

A random number update process (random number generation process) for updating the value of the random number at predetermined intervals is executed. The winning determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) and the small hit lottery (small hit determination). The special figure distribution random number is a random number used when determining the jackpot symbol. The small hit design random number is a random number used when determining the small hit symbol. The reach determination random number is a random number used in the reach lottery (reach determination) for determining whether or not to form a reach in the case of not winning the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery, that is, in the case of a loss. The random number for distribution pattern distribution is a random number used when selecting the variation pattern of the variation game. The random number for judgment per common figure is a random number used in lottery per common figure. Further, the main control CPU 30a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which a variable game is started). The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program and various determination values (a big hit determination value, a small hit determination value, a reach determination value, a normal hit determination value, etc.). The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values (all 65536 integers from 0 to 65535) that the hit determination random number can take. In this embodiment, 208 values are set as the jackpot determination values for the non-probable change state, and the probability of winning in the big hit lottery in the non-probability change state is 208/53636. On the other hand, 1640 values are set as jackpot determination values for the probability variation state, and the probability of winning in the jackpot lottery in the probability variation state is 1640/65536.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery, and is determined so as not to overlap with the big hit determination value from the numerical values (all 65536 integers from 0 to 65535) that the hit determination random number can take. ing. In this embodiment, 280 values are set as the small hit determination value, and the probability of winning in the small hit lottery is 280/65536.

  The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery (reach determination) on whether or not to form a reach when determining a loss, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for reach determination (a total of 239 patterns from 0 to 238). (Integer).

The determination value per base map is a determination value used in a lottery per base map, and is determined from numerical values (all 65536 integers from 0 to 65535) that can be taken as a random number for determination per base map.
The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a pattern that is the base of the production from the start of the variation of the symbol (special symbol and decoration) until the symbol (special symbol and ornament) is displayed in a fixed stop. The variation content (production content) and the variation time (production time) can be specified. In this embodiment, the plurality of types of variation patterns can be classified into variation patterns for hit variation, variation patterns for outlier reach variation, and variation patterns for outlier variation. The hit variation is classified into a big hit variation that is performed when the big hit lottery is won and a probability change suggestion change that is performed when the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery is won. Then, in the big hit variation, the big hit symbol is finally displayed in the variable game. On the other hand, in the big hit variation, in the symbol variation game by the decorative drawing, after reaching the reach effect, the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed. In the probability variation suggestion variation, the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is finally displayed in a definite stop in the variation game. On the other hand, in the probability variation suggestion variation, in the symbol variation game with decorative drawings, the probability variation suggestion symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state after reaching the reach effect. The loss reach change is performed when the reach lottery is won without winning the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery, and the final symbol is finally stopped and displayed in the variable game. On the other hand, in the detachment reach variation, in the symbol variation game with decorations, the reach design is finally displayed through the reach effect, and finally the deferred symbol (reach is formed) is displayed. The loss variation is performed when none of the big hit lottery, the small hit lottery, or the reach lottery is won, and finally the lost symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed in the variable game. On the other hand, in the variation variation, in the symbol variation game by the decoration drawing, the reach symbol (not reach) is finally displayed in a fixed stop state without reaching reach. In the variation game, when the fluctuation of the special figure is started, the fluctuation of the special figure is continued until the fluctuation time elapses without performing the reach effect. There are a plurality of types of variation patterns for hit variation, outlier reach variation, and outlier variation, and one of them is selected.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described.
The effect control board 31 has an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and an effect control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided. The effect control CPU 31a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values at predetermined intervals. The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image display data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). In addition, various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c.

Next, the payout control board 32 will be described.
On the payout control board 32, a payout control CPU 32a that performs a payout control operation of prize balls in a predetermined procedure, a payout control ROM 32b that stores a control program of the payout control CPU 32a, and a game that pays out as a prize ball that can be appropriately rewritten. A payout control RAM 32c for storing the number of balls (the number of prize balls) is provided. The payout control CPU 32a is connected to a ball payout device 33 that performs a payout operation for paying out game balls as prize balls. The ball payout device 33 is provided with a prize ball solenoid 33a that allows or restricts a payout operation for paying out a game ball, and a prize ball sensor 33b that detects a game ball paid out by the prize ball solenoid 33a. ing. In other words, the payout control CPU 32a is connected to a prize ball solenoid 33a and connected so that a detection signal output by the prize ball sensor 33b when a game ball is detected can be input. In addition, a prize ball remaining number display device 25 is connected to the payout control CPU 32a.

  Hereinafter, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms). The special symbol start process is executed after the special symbol input process ends.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first start winning opening 14 has been won (a game ball has entered) based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the first start opening switch SW1. If this determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of four. When this determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a increments the first reserved storage number by 1 (adds 1). The main control CPU 30a that updated (added 1) the first reserved memory number changes the display content of the first special symbol hold display device 13a so as to display the updated (after added) first reserved memory number. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a reads and acquires various random number values from the main control RAM 30c, and sets the values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c corresponding to the first reserved storage number. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a acquires each value of a hit determination random number, a special figure distribution random number, a small hit symbol distribution random number, a reach determination random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  When determining that the first start winning opening 14 has been won, the main control CPU 30a pays out the number of game balls set in the first start opening switch SW1 (first start winning opening 14) as a winning ball. A payout signal instructing the payout is output to the payout control board 32 (the payout control CPU 32a). Details of the payout signal will be described later.

  On the other hand, when a game ball has not entered the first start winning opening 14, or when a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 14, but the first reserved memory number is not less than 4, the main control CPU 30a Based on whether a detection signal is input from the second start opening switch SW2, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 15. When this determination result is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when this determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of four. When the second reserved memory number is not less than 4, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is less than 4, the main control CPU 30a increments the second reserved memory number by +1 (1 addition). The main control CPU 30a that has updated (added 1) the second reserved memory number changes the display content of the second special symbol hold display device 13b so as to display the updated (after added) second reserved memory number. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a reads and acquires various random number values from the main control RAM 30c, and sets the values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c corresponding to the second reserved storage number. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a acquires each value of a hit determination random number, a special figure distribution random number, a small hit symbol distribution random number, a reach determination random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  When determining that the second start winning opening 15 has been won, the main control CPU 30a pays out the number of game balls set in the second start opening switch SW2 (second start winning opening 15) as a winning ball. A payout signal instructing the payout is output to the payout control board 32 (the payout control CPU 32a). Details of the payout signal will be described later.

  In this way, various random numbers are acquired in response to the entry of game balls into the start winning ports 14 and 15, and the big hit determination and the small hit determination (hit determination) are performed based on the acquired values. The control CPU 30a functions as a random number acquisition unit, a big hit determination unit, and a small hit determination unit (hit determination unit). Further, a main control RAM 30c that stores up to the upper limit number (holding upper limit number) of game balls that have entered each start winning port 14, 15 serves as a first holding storage means and a second holding storage means (holding storage means). Function.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
First, the main control CPU 30a executes execution condition determination as to whether or not a variable game is being executed and whether a big hit game or a small hit game. When the determination result of the execution condition determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the execution condition determination is negative (not in a variable game and in neither a big hit game nor a small hit game), the main control CPU 30a stores the second reserved memory stored in the main control RAM 30c. It is determined whether or not the number is greater than “0”. When the second reserved memory number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 30a includes the second variable game that is being held, and therefore the second symbol change process flag assigned to the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c is set to the second. A value “1” indicating that the variable game is to be executed is set. Then, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the second reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the second special symbol hold display device 13b so as to display the updated (after subtraction) second reserved memory number. To do. When the symbol variation processing flag is set to “1”, the main control CPU 30a performs the special symbol start processing related to the second variation game based on the second start holding ball.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of a random number for hit determination stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved storage number. At this time, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hit determination associated with the second start hold ball stored most quickly among the second start hold balls stored in the main control RAM 30c.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the hit determination random number stored in association with the second reserved storage number with the jackpot determination value, and relates to the second variable game whether or not both values match. Make a big hit (big hit lottery). At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs the jackpot determination using the jackpot determination value for the non-probability changing state when the current gaming state is the non-probability changing state, while the probability changing state when the current gaming state is the probability changing state. The big hit judgment is performed using the big jackpot judgment value for use. Note that the main control CPU 30a grasps whether or not the current gaming state is a probability change state based on a control flag (a probability change flag described later) set in the main control RAM 30c.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a executes a second big hit fluctuation process for causing the second variable game to become a big hit fluctuation. In the second big hit variation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for special figure distribution associated with the second start holding ball stored earlier. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbol as the special symbol 2 to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b with a fixed stop based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. In the present embodiment, since the jackpot symbol of the special figure is set for each type of jackpot, the jackpot type to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines any one of the symbols a to f classified as the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b on the basis of the special figure distribution random number. Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for large hit variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the random number for hit determination previously read with the small hit determination value, and the second variation whether or not both values match. Make a small hit determination (lottery lottery) related to the game. In this way, when performing the small hit determination related to the second variable game, the main control CPU 30a sets the small hit probability of the variable game to a predetermined probability (in this embodiment, regardless of whether or not the probability change state). 280/65536), a small hit determination is performed.

  If the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the small hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a small hit, reads the value from the probability change flag and the operation flag, Based on this value, the second small hit variation process for executing the second variable game that is a small hit is executed. In the second small hit variation process, the main control CPU 30a reads out the small hit symbol distribution random number value associated with the second start holding ball that has been stored earliest from the main control RAM 30c, and the small hit symbol is stored. Based on the value of the random number for distribution, a small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol g as the special symbol 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b based on the random numbers for small hit symbol distribution. The main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for probability variation suggestion variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a specifies a deviation from the fact that the value of the random number for hit determination is not a big hit or a small hit value. For this reason, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the reach determination random number associated with the second stored stored number earliest and compares the reach determination random number value with the reach determination value. Reach determination (reach lottery) related to the second variation game as to whether or not they match is performed. The main control CPU 30a performs reach determination using the reach determination value corresponding to the type of the last jackpot and the current gaming state. Details of the reach determination value will be described later.

  When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a executes the second reach variation process for executing the second variation game that causes the reach reach variation because the reach lottery is won. In the second reach variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a symbol that is not a special symbol 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a fluctuation pattern for deviation reach fluctuation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a executes a second deviation variation process for executing the second variation game that causes the deviation variation. In the second deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for deviation variation. Note that the main control CPU 30a selects a variation pattern for deviation variation that can be selected based on the type of the last jackpot and the current gaming state. Details of the fluctuation pattern for the deviation fluctuation will be described later. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c is larger than “0”. If the first reserved memory number is “0”, there is no variable game on hold, and the special start process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the first number of reserved memories is larger than “0”, there is a first variable game that is on hold, so the value “0” indicating that the first variable game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag. To do. Then, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the first reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the first special symbol hold display device 13a so as to display the updated first (after subtraction) first reserved memory number. To do. When the symbol variation processing flag is set to “0”, the main control CPU 30a performs the special symbol start processing related to the first variation game based on the first start holding ball.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number. At this time, the main control CPU 30a reads out the value of a random number for hit determination associated with the first start hold ball stored most quickly among the first start hold balls stored in the main control RAM 30c.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the random number for hit determination stored in association with the first reserved storage number with the big hit determination value, and relates to the first variation game whether or not both values match. Make a big hit (big hit lottery). At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs the jackpot determination using the jackpot determination value for the non-probability changing state when the current gaming state is the non-probability changing state, while the probability changing state when the current gaming state is the probability changing state. The big hit judgment is performed using the big jackpot judgment value for use.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a executes a first big hit fluctuation process for causing the first variable game to become a big hit fluctuation. In the first big hit fluctuation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for special figure distribution associated with the first start holding ball stored earlier. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines a jackpot symbol as the special figure 1 to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a with a fixed stop based on the value of the special figure distribution random number. At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines which of the symbols A to H is classified as the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, based on the random number for special figure distribution. Further, when determining the symbols A to D and F to H, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for big hit variation. On the other hand, when determining the symbol E, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for probability variation suggestion variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the random number for hit determination previously read with the small hit determination value, and first variation of whether or not both values match. Make a small hit determination (lottery lottery) related to the game. In this way, when performing the small hit determination relating to the first variable game, the main control CPU 30a sets the small hit probability of the variable game to a predetermined probability (in this embodiment, regardless of whether or not the probability change state). 280/65536), a small hit determination is performed.

  If the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the small hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a small hit, reads the value from the probability change flag and the operation flag, Based on this value, a first small hit variation process for executing the first variable game that is a small hit is executed. In the first small hit variation processing, the main control CPU 30a reads out the small hit symbol distribution random number value associated with the first stored start ball stored from the main control RAM 30c, and stores the small hit symbol. Based on the value of the random number for distribution, a small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a. At this time, the main control CPU 30a determines the symbol I as the special symbol 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, based on the random numbers for small hit symbol distribution. The main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for probability variation suggestion variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a specifies a deviation from the fact that the value of the random number for hit determination is not a big hit or a small hit value. Therefore, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the reach determination random number associated with the first stored stored number that is earliest and compares the reach determination random number with the reach determination value. A reach determination (reach lottery) related to the first variation game is performed to determine whether or not they match. The main control CPU 30a performs reach determination using the reach determination value corresponding to the type of the last jackpot and the current gaming state. Details of the reach determination value will be described later.

  When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a executes the first reach variation process for executing the first variation game that causes the reach reach variation because the reach lottery is won. In the first reach variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a symbol that is not a special symbol 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a. Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a fluctuation pattern for deviation reach fluctuation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a executes a first deviation variation process for executing the first variation game that causes the deviation variation. In the first deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a. Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern for deviation variation. Note that the main control CPU 30a selects a variation pattern for deviation variation that can be selected based on the type of the last jackpot and the current gaming state. Details of the fluctuation pattern for the deviation fluctuation will be described later. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the special figure and the variation pattern outputs the control command generated according to the determined items to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the variation game at the start of the variation game. Incidentally, the variation pattern designation commands are classified into a variation pattern designation command for special figure 1 (for the first variation game) and a variation pattern designation command for special figure 2 (for the second variation game). Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol stop symbol designation command for designating a special symbol, after outputting the variation pattern designation command. The special symbol stop symbol designation commands are also classified into special symbol 1 (first variable game) stop symbol designation commands and special symbol 2 (second variable game) stop symbol designation commands. Yes. The main control CPU 30a outputs a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time determined in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, as the variation time elapses. Incidentally, the symbol stop command is classified into a symbol stop command for special figure 1 (for the first variable game) and a symbol stop command for special figure 2 (for the second variable game). The main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 12a with the start of the first variable game, while the second special symbol display device 12b has with the start of the second variable game. Control display content. That is, the main control CPU 30a starts the fluctuation of the special figure by the start of the fluctuation game, and the special figure determined at the elapse of the fluctuation time set in the decided fluctuation pattern (a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol or an off symbol) Is displayed with a fixed stop.

  Also, when a special figure is displayed in a fixed stop state, one fluctuation game is terminated, and either the second reserved memory number or the first reserved memory number is “1 or more” and there is a pending variable game The main control CPU 30a performs control so that the next variable game is performed after a variable interval time (0.5 seconds in the present embodiment). That is, the main control CPU 30a, when continuously executing a plurality of variation games, outputs the variation pattern designation command after outputting the variation pattern designation command after ending the variation game immediately before. Output.

In this way, the main control CPU 30a that performs control for playing the variable game based on the determination result of the big hit determination or the small hit determination can be a special symbol variable game control means.
When the big hit is determined, the main control CPU 30a starts controlling the big hit game based on the big hit type specified by the special drawing after the change game based on the determined change pattern. At that time, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the big hit game is started in the main control RAM 30c. In the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of the big hit game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and further outputs an ending command at the end of the big hit game. The main control CPU 30a clears (deletes) information indicating that the big hit game is started after the ending time has elapsed after the ending command is output. For this reason, in the present embodiment, while the information indicating that the big hit game is started is set to the big hit game. The opening command instructs the start of the opening (effect), the round command instructs the start of the round game (effect), and the ending command instructs the start of the ending (effect). Then, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening in a corresponding opening manner in the big hit game. The main control CPU 30a outputs the first (first) round command at the timing based on the current big hit symbol and the big hit state after the opening command is output. Details of the first round command will be described later.

  Further, when determining the small hit, the main control CPU 30a starts the control of the small hit game after the end of the variation game based on the determined variation pattern. At that time, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the small hit game is started in the main control RAM 30c. In the small hit game, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of the small hit game, outputs a command instructing the start of opening of the big winning opening during the small hit game, and further ends the small hit game. Sometimes output an ending command. The main control CPU 30a clears (deletes) information indicating that the small hit game is started when the ending time has elapsed after the output of the ending command. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is during the small hit game while the information indicating that the small hit game is started is set. The command for instructing the opening of the big winning opening instructs the start of the production during the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening of the small hit game. Then, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening in a corresponding opening manner in the small hit game. The main control CPU 30a outputs a command for instructing the opening of the big prize opening at a timing based on the current small winning symbol and the state at the time of winning the small winning after the opening command is output. Details of the command for instructing the opening of the big winning opening in the control of the small hit game will be described later.

  Whether the main control CPU 30a has won a prize (game ball entered) based on whether a detection signal is input from each of the count switches SW3 and SW4 during the big hit game or the small hit game. It is determined whether or not. When it is determined that a prize has been won in the big winning opening, the main control CPU 30a provides a payout control board 32 with a payout signal for instructing the count switches SW3 and SW4 to pay out the number of game balls determined as winning balls. Output to (payout control CPU 32a). Details of these payout signals will be described later. The main control CPU 30a outputs a command for instructing the start and end of the big hit game and the small hit game, such as an opening command and an ending command, not only to the effect control CPU 31a but also to the payout control CPU 32a.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a that ended the big hit game sets “1” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given and sets the probability change state when the game state is changed to the probability change state after the big hit game ends. Outputs a probability change command indicating that is added. Further, when the non-probability change state is given after the big hit game ends, the main control CPU 30a sets the probability change flag to “0” and outputs a non-probability change command indicating that the non-probability change state is given.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the variable state is to be applied and provides the variable state when the variable state is to be provided after the big hit game is finished. Output the variable command shown. In this case, the main control CPU 30a may set the number of operations (in this embodiment, “100 times”). When the number of times of operation is set, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the number of times of operation every time the variable game is executed. End the variable state. In this case, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” in the operation flag and outputs a non-variable command indicating that the non-variable state is to be given. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the operation flag and outputs a non-variable command when giving the non-variable state after the end of the big hit game.

  Since the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit is maintained after the end of the small hitting game, the main control CPU 30a sets the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit. In accordance with this, the main control CPU 30a outputs a command for designating a gaming state such as a probability changing state or a changing state so that the gaming state at the time of winning a small hit is obtained. At that time, if the number of times of operation is set, the number of times of operation at the time of winning the small hit is also maintained.

  In this way, the main control CPU 30a that performs control relating to the opening of the special winning opening and controlling the gaming state functions as a special winning opening releasing control means and a gaming state control means.

  The probability variation flag and the operation flag are cleared ("0" is set) when a big hit game or a small hit game is awarded. In this case, when the big hit or the small hit is generated, the main control CPU 30a ends the probability change state and the short change state with the start of the big hit game or the small hit game. Further, the probability variation flag and the operation flag are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. By these probability change command, non-change command, change command, and non-change command, the production control CPU 31a is currently in the change state or in the non-change state, in the change state or in the non-change state. You can see if there is.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that ended the big hit game or the small hit game confirms the number of the stored memory at the end time, executes the process related to the variable game based on the start reserved ball, and executes the variable game. Let it be done. The main control CPU 30a causes a state in which the next variable game can be executed after the end of the big hit game at the timing based on the current big hit symbol and the changed state after the big hit. Further, the main control CPU 30a causes a state in which the next variable game can be executed after the end of the small hit game at a timing based on the current small hit symbol and the state after the end of the small hit game. Details of a state in which the next variable game can be executed after the big hit game or the small hit game will be described later.

  On the other hand, if the number of stored memories at the end of the big hit game or the small hit game is “0”, the main control CPU 30a plays a variable game until the game balls enter the start winning ports 14 and 15. Wait without running.

Next, processing related to the general game executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described.
When the game ball passes through the gate 19 and receives a detection signal output from the gate switch SW5 that has detected the game ball, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number for determining the normal figure from the main control RAM 30c, The value is temporarily stored in the main control RAM 30c in association with the number of stored general-purpose start-up balls (hereinafter referred to as the general-purpose start-up storage number). Note that the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the general-purpose chart start reserved memory number when the general-purpose map start reserved memory count has not reached the upper limit (in this embodiment, “4”). On the other hand, if the number of reserved general-purpose maps is reaching the upper limit, the number of reserved general-purpose drawings reserved exceeding the upper limit is not rewritten, and the random number for determination per map is not acquired.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a is for determining the per-standard figure stored in the main control RAM 30c in association with the number of reserved start-up memories when the normal figure is not being displayed in a variable manner and not being played per normal figure. Read a random value. Then, the main control CPU 30a compares this value with the standard figure determination value, and performs a standard figure determination (lottery per standard figure) as an open determination as to whether or not the standard figure. In the normal hit determination, the main control CPU 30a compares a non-variable short-term normal value and a per-figure random number for random determination, which will be described later, when the gaming state is the non-changed state. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the variable state, the determination value for the normal figure for the variable state, which will be described later, is compared with the value of the random number for determination for the normal figure.

  The main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 20 with the start of the general game. That is, the main control CPU 30a starts the fluctuation of the usual figure by the start of the usual figure game, and displays the fixed figure (the symbol per ordinary figure or the off-normal figure) determined at the elapse of a predetermined fluctuation time. . The main control CPU 30a sets different variation times as the variation times of the usual game according to the gaming state at the start of the ordinary game, and displays the fixed figure in a fixed stop state.

  In addition, when the usual figure is displayed in a fixed stop state, one ordinary figure game is terminated, and the number of the ordinary figure start hold memory is “1 or more” and there is a pending ordinary figure game, the main control CPU 30a Then, control is performed so as to cause the next general game to be played after a normal time fluctuation interval time (in this embodiment, 0.5 seconds). In other words, when the main game CPU 30a continuously performs a plurality of ordinary game, when the next ordinary game is executed, the next ordinary game is ended and the next variable interval time is opened. Let's play the usual game. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening mode of the open / close door 16 after completion of the normal game corresponding to the normal game. The main control CPU 30a sets a different mode as the opening mode of the open / close door 16 according to the gaming state at the start of the normal game, which is a normal game, and opens the open / close door 16. Details of the general game specification for the general game and the open / close door specification for opening the open / close door 16 will be described later.

  In this way, the main control CPU 30a, which controls to make a normal game per game based on the determination result of the general game determination, is released when the game ball enters the gate 19 in this way. It functions as determination means and normal symbol variation game control means. Further, the main control CPU 30a for controlling the opening mode of the open / close door 16 according to the result of the usual game functions as a start winning opening opening control means.

  Note that the main control CPU 30a wins the winning openings 23a and 23b based on whether or not a detection signal is input from each of the winning opening switches SW6 and SW7 during the variable game, the big hit game or the small hit game. It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered. When it is determined that the winning ports 23a and 23b have been won, the main control CPU 30a provides a payout signal for instructing the payout ports SW6 and SW7 to pay out the number of game balls determined as winning balls, respectively. Output to the payout control board 32 (the payout control CPU 32a). Details of these payout signals will be described later.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described.
When the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the decoration drawing to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 according to the command. Specifically, when a jackpot symbol is designated as a special symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines a jackpot symbol (combination) for each special symbol. Then, the effect control CPU 31a displays the decoration when the big hits A to D and F to H are designated by the stop symbol designation command for special figure 1 or the big hits a to f are designated by the stop symbol designation command for special figure 2 As a (combination of symbols), a big hit symbol ([111], [222], etc.) of a decorative drawing in which symbols in all the columns are the same symbol is determined. Further, the effect control CPU 31a displays a decorative figure (design) when the big hit E or small hit I is specified by the stop symbol specifying command for special figure 1 or the small hit g is specified by the stop symbol specifying command for special figure 2 As a combination), the jackpot symbol ([121], [232], etc.) of the decorative drawing suggesting the probability variation is determined.

  On the other hand, the effect control CPU 31a determines a shift symbol (combination) as a decorative drawing when a shift symbol is designated as a special symbol. At this time, the effect control CPU 31a determines an outlier pattern (combination) including the reach symbol as a decoration when the variation pattern for the outlier reach variation is instructed. On the other hand, when the variation pattern for deviation variation is instructed, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol (combination) that does not include a reach symbol as a decoration.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to display an image of the symbol variation game based on the decorative drawing based on the image display data. At this time, when the design control CPU 31a inputs a symbol stop command during the symbol variation game based on the decorative drawing, the determined decoration diagram is confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11, and the symbol variation game based on the decorative diagram is ended. Further, the effect control CPU 31a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game by the decorative display of the effect display device 11, and based on the measured time and the image display data, the image is displayed. The image displayed on the display unit GH is switched every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 4 ms).

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a allows the effect display device 11 to perform the change interval effect until the new change pattern designation command is input, that is, during the change interval time after the symbol stop command is input. Control display content. In addition, the CPU 31a for effect control is decorated while repeatedly executing the variable interval effect as the inter-game effect for the variable interval time (0.5 seconds in the present embodiment) until a new variable pattern designation command is input. Wait for execution of the symbol variation game shown in the figure.

  In addition, when the opening command, the round command, and the ending command are input in the control of the effect during the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a selects the corresponding image display data. The effect control CPU 31a selects the corresponding image display data when an opening command, a command for instructing the opening of the big prize opening, and an ending command are input in the effect control during the small hit game.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 to execute various effects during the big hit game and the small hit game based on the image display data. Further, the production control CPU 31a measures the elapsed time from the start of these productions with the start of various productions during the big hit game and the small hit game, and based on the measured time and the image display data, The image displayed on the display unit GH is switched every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 4 ms).

  It should be noted that the effect control CPU 31a displays the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to perform the corresponding effect within the effect time based on the current big hit symbol (special figure) and the big hit time state or the big hit short-time change state. Control. Also, the production control CPU 31a produces the corresponding production within the production time based on the current small hit symbol (special drawing) and the state at the time of winning the small hit or after the end of the small hit game. The display content of the display device 11 is controlled. Details of the effects during the big hit game or the small hit game will be described later.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 31a that controls the effect display device 11 serving as the winning game end effect executing means to perform the ending effect as the winning game end effect functions as the end effect control means.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a probability change command or a change command, the effect control CPU 31a sets information (such as a flag) indicating that the probability change state or the change state has been assigned to the effect control RAM 31c. Then, the effect control CPU 31a stores and maintains the current setting contents in the effect control RAM 31c until the probability change command, the non-changeable command, the change command, and the non-change command are input. The effect control CPU 31a knows whether or not the gaming state is a probability change state or a change state based on the setting contents of the effect control RAM 31c.

  The effect control CPU 31a controls the transition of the effect mode in a transition mode according to the trigger of the mode transition when the trigger for the transition of the predetermined mode arrives. The effect control CPU 31a grasps the set effect mode by setting a mode flag (information) indicating the type of effect mode in the effect control RAM 31c. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the effect mode indicated by the mode flag is set every time the change game (the symbol change game with decorations) is started.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to cause a right-handed recommended notification effect that prompts the player to make a right-handed game after inputting the variable command. It should be noted that the effect control CPU 31a continuously performs the right-handed recommended notification effect during the variable speed state. In addition, after the opening command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that a right-handed recommended notification effect is performed. The effect control CPU 31a continuously performs the right-handed recommended notification effect during the big hit game or the small hit game. In the image display unit GH, “→” and “right” are displayed as images as a right-handed recommended notification effect. Further, the effect control CPU 31a does not particularly perform the right-handed recommended notification effect after inputting the opening command based on the winning of the big hit E and the small hit I which are the special figure 1 during the non-changeable state. ing.

  On the other hand, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to cause a left-handed recommended notification effect that prompts the player to make a left-handed game after inputting a non-changeable command. The effect control CPU 31a performs the left-handed recommended notification effect only for a predetermined effect time (10 seconds in the present embodiment) and ends it. In the image display unit GH, “←” and “left” are displayed as images as a left-handed recommended notification effect.

Next, a configuration for determining reach and selecting a variation pattern in the present embodiment will be described focusing on variation patterns for deviation variation.
As shown in FIG. 6, the reach probability (reach determination value) to be selected in the reach determination performed by the main control CPU 30a is the presence / absence of the (current) variable state during the special symbol start processing and the (current) reserved storage It is defined by the number. In the present embodiment, the reach probability is defined by the presence / absence of the variable state and the number of reserved memories regardless of the type of the variable game. The number of reserved memories is based on each number of reserved memories managed corresponding to each variable game.

  That is, in the variable state “None” of “Low + None” or “High + None”, the reserved memory number is 30/239 when “1” or “2”, 12/239 when “3”, and “4”. Reach probabilities of 2/239 are specified. Further, in the variable state “Yes” of “Low + Yes” or “High + Yes”, the reach probability of 20/239 is uniformly defined with the number of reserved memories “1” to “4”.

  Also, in the variable state “existing (special)” which is “low + existing” or “high + existing” and the variable state is a special state, 0 / The reach probability of 239 is uniformly defined. In this embodiment, after winning the big hits B to D and F to H (high) during the non-varying state, after winning the big hits B to D and F to H during the changing state, or the big hits A and big hits After the start of the variable state given after winning a to f, the variable state is “present (special)” during the time when four variable games are played. The player's appearance is a variable game for four times from the transition or re-transition to the consecutive resort mode MD. That is, in the present embodiment, a reach probability that cannot be won in the reach lottery is defined for such a variable game in the variable state “present (special)”. On the other hand, in this embodiment, after winning the big hits B to D and F to H (high) during the non-changed state, after winning the big hits B to D and F to H during the changed state, or the big hit A Or, after the start of the variable state given after winning the big hits a to f, the variable state after the fifth variable game in which four variable games are performed is based on the variable state “present”.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 (a), the fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuation that can be selected by the main control CPU 30a is the presence / absence of the (current) variable state during the special symbol start process and the (current) ) It is defined by the number of reserved memories. In this embodiment, regardless of the type of the variation game, the variation pattern for the variation variation is defined by the presence / absence of the variation state and the number of reserved memories. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of types of variation patterns HP1 to HP3 and HP97 to HP104 for variation variation with different variation times (11 types in the present embodiment) are set. Note that the fluctuation times of these fluctuation patterns HP1 to HP3 and HP97 to HP104 are set as shown in FIG. 7, and as a general rule, the fluctuation patterns are shorter than the fluctuation patterns for outlier reach fluctuation, jackpot fluctuation, and probability variation suggestion fluctuation. It is configured. Note that in special situations among the above-mentioned fluctuation states, the fluctuations for outlier reach fluctuations, jackpot fluctuations, and probability change fluctuations are exceptionally set with a fluctuation time shorter or equivalent to the fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuations. A pattern is also included.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the variable state “None” of “Low + None” or “High + None”, the number of reserved memories is “1” to “4” and the variation patterns HP1 to HP3 are set. It stipulates that it can be selected. For this reason, in the variable state “None”, a variable game with a variable time of “2.4 seconds” or longer is performed regardless of the number of stored memories, and it is difficult to win the reach lottery because “2. It is easy to play an outlier fluctuation game based on the fluctuation time of “4 seconds” to “12 seconds”. Further, in the variable state of “low + present” or “high + present”, the variation pattern that can be selected according to the state of the variable state is defined differently.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the above-described variable state “presence (special)” among the variable states “low + presence” or “high + presence”, the number of reserved memories is “1”. ~ "4" defines that the variation patterns HP97, HP102 to HP104 can be selected. For this reason, in this embodiment, a variation game with a variation time of “0.52 seconds” or more is performed for such a variation game in the variable state “exist (special)”, and whether or not the reach lottery is successful Can not win, it is easy to play out of the fluctuation game based on any fluctuation time of "0.52 seconds", "1.54 seconds", "2.56 seconds", "3.58 seconds" It will be.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the variable state “existing” except “low + existing” or “high + existing” and excluding the variable state “existing (special)”, the number of reserved memories is “1”. ”To“ 4 ”stipulate that the variation patterns HP97 to HP101 can be selected. In this embodiment, after winning the big hits B to D and F to H (high) during the non-varying state, after winning the big hits B to D and F to H during the changing state, or the big hits A and big hits After the start of the variable state given after winning a to f, the variable state is “present” between five or more variable games in which four variable games have been played. In addition, the player's appearance is a variation game of the main villa mode ME, or a variation game after five times from the transition or re-transition to the continuation mode MD. For this reason, in this embodiment, a variable game with a variable time of “0.52 seconds” or more is performed regardless of the number of reserved memories, and a reach game is performed for such a variable game in the variable state “present”. Since it is difficult to win the lottery, it is easy to play an outlier fluctuation game based on a fluctuation time of “0.52 seconds” or more. Note that in the variable state “present”, the reach probability is based on the variable state “present”.

  Here, the fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuation in the variable state “present (special)” will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. It should be noted that in the variable state “existing (special)”, the variable state that is given after winning the big hits B to D and F to H during the variable state or after winning the big hits A or big hits a to f. In the state after the start, the second reserved memory number is particularly likely to exist.

  That is, in the variable state “present (special)”, only the variation pattern HP97 is selected in a situation where the second reserved memory number reaches “4” which is the upper limit of the second reserved memory number at the end of the last big hit game. It stipulates that it is possible. If all of these cases are off, the time until the end of the second variation game for four times is four variation times (“0.52 seconds” × 4) and three variation interval times (“0.5 "3.58 seconds" obtained by adding "seconds" x 3).

  On the other hand, the variation patterns HP102 to HP104 are defined to be selectable for the second variation game whose execution is suspended in the situation where the second reserved memory number does not reach “4” at the end of the last big hit game. Yes.

  Specifically, in the variable state “present (special)”, when the second reserved memory number is “3” at the end of the previous jackpot game, and the execution of the second variable game for three times is held, It is stipulated that only the variation pattern HP97 can be selected for the first and second second variation games, and only the variation pattern HP102 can be selected for the third variation game. If all of these cases are off, the time until the end of the second variation game for three times is three variation times (“0.52 seconds” × 2 + “1.54 seconds”) and two variation intervals. The time (“0.5 seconds” × 2) is added to “3.58 seconds” at the same time as the situation in which the second reserved memory number reaches “4” at the end of the previous jackpot game. Adjustable. In this case, the first variation game that is suspended after the end of the jackpot game, the first variation game and the second variation game that are suspended after the termination of the jackpot game, the termination of the jackpot game For the fourth variation game afterward, only the variation pattern HP97 is defined to be selectable.

  Also, in the variable state “present (special)”, when the second reserved memory number is “2” at the end of the previous jackpot game and the execution of the second variable game is held twice, the first time It is specified that only the variation pattern HP97 can be selected for the second variation game, and only the variation pattern HP103 can be selected for the second variation game for the second time. If all of these cases are off, the time until the end of the second variation game for two times is two variation times (“0.52 seconds” + “2.56 seconds”) and one variation interval time. (3.58 seconds) plus ("0.5 seconds"), which can be adjusted to the same time as when the second reserved memory number has reached "4" at the end of the previous jackpot game ing. In this case, the first variation game that is suspended at the end of the jackpot game, the first variation game and the second variation game that are suspended after the termination of the jackpot game, and after the termination of the jackpot game For the third and fourth variation games, only the variation pattern HP97 is defined to be selectable.

  Also, in the variable state “presence (special)”, when the second reserved memory number is “1” at the end of the previous big hit game and the execution of the second variable game is held once, For the second variation game, only the variation pattern HP104 is defined to be selectable. If this is not the case, the time until the end of the second variation game for one time is one variation time (“3.58”), and the second reserved memory number is set at the end of the previous jackpot game. Adjustment is possible at the same time as the situation of reaching “4”. In this case, the first variation game that is suspended at the end of the jackpot game, the first variation game and the second variation game that are suspended after the termination of the jackpot game, and after the termination of the jackpot game For the second to fourth variation games, only the variation pattern HP97 is defined to be selectable.

  In the present embodiment, in the variable state “presence (special)”, when the second reserved memory number is “0” at the end of the previous jackpot game, the second start winning opening 15 is won. Accordingly, it is defined that only the variation pattern HP 104 can be selected under the condition of the variation game within four times after the end of the jackpot game, as in the case where the second reserved memory number is “1”.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a makes a determination in the reach determination at the time of the special symbol start process, using the reach probability defined by the presence / absence of the variable state at that time and the number of reserved memories. Further, when selecting the variation pattern at the time of the special symbol starting process, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines the variation pattern defined so as to be selectable depending on the presence / absence of the variation state at that time and the number of reserved memories. In this case, the main control CPU 30a selects the variation pattern for the deviation variation based on the second reserved memory number at the end of the last jackpot game, particularly in a situation such as the variable state “present (special)”. The variation pattern is selected and determined in the selection mode defined by the above.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, in this embodiment, in the variable state “present (special)”, the selection pattern of the variation pattern is changed according to the second reserved memory number at the end of the previous jackpot game. With respect to the second variable game, the time until the end of the second variable game, which is suspended at the end of the previous jackpot game, can be adjusted to the same time.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the variation pattern HP97 defines the shortest variation time (“0.52 seconds”) among all variation patterns, and as such the shortest variation time, in particular, the winning prize opening It is set to be shorter than half of the opening interval time (“1.5 seconds”) related to opening and closing. For this reason, when the variation game based on the variation pattern HP97 is continuously performed, the variation game is repeatedly performed at an interval shorter than the opening interval of the big winning opening. Then, while the variable game can be continuously executed at an interval shorter than the opening interval of the special winning opening in this way, the reach lottery is not allowed to be won, so that After the big hit game ends, it is easy to effectively create a situation where the time until the end of the second variable game, which is suspended at the end of the big hit game, is the same time.

Next, general game specifications and open / close door specifications in the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 9, the probability per base figure that is selected in the base map determination performed by the main control CPU 30 a (base level determination value) depends on the presence or absence of the (current) variable state at the time of base map determination. It is prescribed.

  In other words, in the non-variable state, one value is set as the per-normal map determination value for the non-variable state, and the probability per 1/65536 is defined. Also, in the variable state, 65535 values are set as the standard figure determination values for the variable state, and the probability per standard figure of 65535/65536 is defined. In the present embodiment, during the big hit game and the small hit game controlled to the non-variable short state, the normal figure hit determination using the normal hit per unit determination value in the non-variable short state is performed. For this reason, the probability per base figure in the per-map determination performed in the variable state is higher than the probability per base map in the per-normal determination performed in the non-variable state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the fluctuation time of the usual game determined by the main control CPU 30a is defined by the presence / absence of the (current) shortage state at the time of the universal figure determination. Note that the fluctuation time of the ordinary game is defined based on the presence or absence of the variable state regardless of the determination result of the universal figure determination.

  That is, in the non-variable state, “2 seconds” is defined as the variation time of the usual game. In the variable state, “0.52 seconds” is defined as the variation time of the usual game. In the present embodiment, during the big hit game and the small hit game controlled to the non-variable short state, the variation time of the normal game in the non-variable short state is determined. For this reason, the fluctuation time of the usual game played in the variable state is shorter than the fluctuation time of the usual game played in the non-variable state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, whether or not the open mode of the door 16 controlled by the main control CPU 30a after the end of the base game for the base map is the (current) variable state at the time of the base map determination. It is prescribed by.

  That is, when the normal hit determination is in the non-variable state, it is defined that the opening / closing door 16 is opened once for “0.2 seconds (first opening time)”. Further, it is defined that the opening / closing door 16 is opened once for "6 seconds (second opening time)" as the opening / closing door 16 is in the variable state when the normal hit determination time is changed. In this embodiment, during the big hit game and the small hit game in which the time per base figure is determined to be in the non-variable state, the time is determined in the manner in which the open / close door 16 is open in the non-variable state. The For this reason, the opening mode of the open / close door 16 when the normal figure hit determination time is in the variable state is longer than the open mode of the open / close door 16 performed when the normal map hit determination time is in the non-changed state.

  In the opening of the opening / closing door 16 based on the usual figure, “0.13 seconds” is set as the opening / closing end interval time after the opening of the opening / closing door 16 once. For this reason, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the next ordinary game is played after the opening / closing end interval time after the opening of the opening / closing door 16 based on the ordinary figure ends. In addition, while the open / close door 16 is opened based on the usual figure, the second start winning opening 15 is until a predetermined number (10 balls in this embodiment) of game balls, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, or It is opened until “0.2 seconds” or “6 seconds” elapses based on the release mode.

  Note that the opening of the opening / closing door 16 with the opening mode of “6 seconds” may end when a predetermined number of game balls enter. That is, when the opening time of the opening / closing door 16 is “6 seconds”, the specified number of game balls cannot be entered. Further, when the opening mode of the opening / closing door 16 is “0.2 seconds”, a specified number of game balls cannot enter. That is, “0.2 seconds” is the maximum time for the total opening time of the door 16.

  In the present embodiment, the fluctuation time (“0.52 seconds”) of the regular game played in the variable state is the shortest fluctuation time (“0.52 seconds”) among the fluctuation patterns based on the special figure. The same time is set, and the fluctuation time of such a usual game is set to be shorter than half of the opening interval time (“1.5 seconds”) related to opening / closing of the special winning opening. In the present embodiment, the opening time ("6 seconds") of the open / close door 16 based on the normal game played in the variable state is the second and subsequent rounds in the big hit game based on the big hits a to f as shown in FIG. It is longer than half of the opening mode of the second grand prize opening 22 (“8 seconds”) so as to resemble the opening mode of the second big winning hole 22.

  For this reason, when the usual game is continuously performed in the variable state, the usual game is repeatedly performed at an interval shorter than the opening interval of the special winning opening. Furthermore, in such a variable state, in most cases, it will be per ordinary figure, so one ordinary figure game “0.52 seconds”, the opening mode of the opening / closing door 16 “6 seconds”, and the opening and closing end interval time The door 16 is opened at intervals of “6.65 seconds” obtained by adding “0.13 seconds”. That is, in the variable speed state, it is set to be longer than half of the opening interval “8.5 seconds” of the second big winning opening 22 after the second round in the big hit game based on the big hits a to f as shown in FIG. It is made to resemble the opening interval of the second big winning opening 22.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the opening time ("6 seconds") of the open / close door 16 based on the regular game played in the variable state is the first round in the big hit game based on the big hits a to f as shown in FIG. It is shorter than half of the open mode (“25 seconds”) so as to be sufficiently shorter than the open mode. In this embodiment, the time obtained by adding the fluctuation time of the usual game played in the variable state and the opening time of the open / close door 16 based on the universal figure determination performed in the variable state is as follows: Both are set to be shorter than half of the opening mode (“25 seconds”) of the first round in the jackpot game based on the jackpot a to f which is the special figure 2. The same applies to the fluctuation time of the usual game performed in the non-variable state and the time obtained by adding the fluctuation time and the opening time of the open / close door 16 based on the common figure determination performed in the non-variable state. Yes.

  In addition, once a transition is made to a big hit game or a small hit game that is controlled to the non-variable short state, during the big hit game or the small hit game, the usual figure will be off in most cases, and Since the time is also extended, the frequency with which the opening / closing door 16 is opened is drastically reduced as compared with the variable state. On the other hand, when the big hit game or the small hit game is ended and the game shifts to the short state, during the short state, in most cases, the normal figure is hit and the fluctuation time of the normal figure game is also shortened. The opening frequency of the open / close door 16 is extremely higher than during the big hit game or the small hit game.

Next, processing relating to a prize ball in the present embodiment will be described.
First, the specifications of the prize ball of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the number of winning balls is determined for each winning prize. In the present embodiment, a table in which the number of prize balls is determined is stored in the main control ROM 30b.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has won any of the winning ports in various processes. In the various processes, when determining that a game ball has won any one of the winning ports, the main control CPU 30a mainly selects the number of winning balls corresponding to the type of the winning port where the game ball has won. Read from the control ROM 30b and determine the number of winning balls. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a payout signal (control command) generated according to the determined prize ball to the payout control CPU 32a at a predetermined timing.

  That is, the number of winning balls of “3 balls” is determined for winning at the first start winning opening 14. For this reason, when the detection signal from the first start port switch SW1 is input, the main control CPU 30a generates and outputs a payout signal instructing to pay out “3 balls” as game balls. In other words, for winning a prize at the first start winning opening 14, it is determined that a prize ball having a value of one ball or more is paid out for one prize. For this reason, if winnings to the first start winning opening 14 occur continuously from one to the next, the game balls held by the player are gradually increased.

  In addition, the number of winning balls of “one ball” is determined for winning at the second start winning opening 15. For this reason, when the detection signal from the second start port switch SW2 is input, the main control CPU 30a generates and outputs a payout signal instructing to pay out “1 ball” as a winning ball. That is, for the winning at the second starting winning opening 15, one ball having the same value as the winning of one ball and the same number of game balls as winning at the second starting winning opening 15 It is stipulated to be paid out as a prize ball. For this reason, even if the winning at the second start winning opening 15 is continuously generated from the next to the next, the increase in the number of game balls held by the player is stopped at the maximum.

  In addition, the number of winning balls of “15 balls” is determined for winning in the first big winning opening 18 or the second big winning opening 22. For this reason, when the detection signal from the first count switch SW3 or the count switch SW4 is input, the main control CPU 30a generates a payout signal instructing to pay out “15 balls” as a prize ball. To do. In other words, it is stipulated that a prize ball having a value sufficiently larger than one prize is paid out for a prize at the first big prize opening 18 or the second big prize opening 22. For this reason, winnings to the first grand prize winning opening 18 or the second big winning prize opening 22 are continuously generated during a big hit game in which a winning ball can be substantially acquired. This effectively leads to an increase in the sphere.

  In addition, the number of winning balls of “10 balls” is determined for winning in the lower left winning opening 23a or the lower right winning opening 23b. Therefore, when the detection signal from the lower left winning port switch SW6 or the lower right winning port switch SW7 is input, the main control CPU 30a generates a payout signal instructing to pay out “10 balls” as game balls. And output. That is, it is determined that a prize ball having a sufficiently large value for winning one ball is paid out for a prize at the lower left prize opening 23a or the lower right prize opening 23b. For this reason, if winnings to the lower left winning opening 23a or the lower right winning opening 23b occur continuously from one to the next, the number of game balls held by the player is increased.

  It should be noted that no prize ball is paid out for winning the gate 19. For this reason, the main control CPU 30a does not generate the payout signal itself even if the detection signal from the gate switch SW5 is input.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the increase in the number of prize balls to be paid out can be maintained at a maximum even in a variable state where the rate of entry of game balls into the second start prize opening 15 is improved. Further, as in the present embodiment, the opening of the second start winning port 15 in the variable state where the variation time of the normal game is short and the opening time of the second start winning port 15 is long is more than in the non-variable state. Even in a configuration in which most of the game balls flowing down the right region H1 (R) can be won in a long open time, the increase in the number of prize balls to be paid out can be maintained at a maximum.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, with respect to the first start winning opening 14 in which a change in the winning rate is not expected even in a variable state, it is determined that a prize ball having a value of one ball or more is paid out for one winning. Thus, although the rate of entering the ball is not expected to rise even in a variable state, a certain amount of winning balls will be secured.

Next, processing relating to payout of prize balls according to the present embodiment will be described.
When the payout signal output from the main control CPU 30a is input, the payout control CPU 32a stores the number of unpaid balls indicating the number of award balls designated by the payout signal in a predetermined area of the payout control RAM 32c. The number of unpaid balls indicates the number of balls to be paid out by the ball payout device 33 based on the payout signal, and the number of prize balls designated by the payout signal is added when the payout signal is input. . In this way, the payout control CPU 32a counts the number of unpaid balls that have not been paid out by the ball payout device 33 based on the payout signal, and accumulates and stores the number of unpaid balls.

  Further, the payout control CPU 32a controls the display content of the award ball remaining number display device 25 so as to display the number of unpaid balls stored in the payout control RAM 32c. The payout control CPU 32a controls the display content of the winning ball remaining number display device 25 so as to display [000] when the number of unpaid balls stored in the payout control RAM 32c is not "1" or more. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the payout control CPU 32a displays [001] to [999] to indicate the respective number of balls when the number of unpaid balls is “1” to “999”. The display content of the prize ball remaining number display device 25 is controlled so that Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the payout control CPU 32a exceeds the display limit when the number of unpaid balls exceeds “1000” which is the display upper limit number (overflow limit). The display content of the prize ball remaining number display device 25 is controlled so as to display [FFF] indicating that it is in a state. Even when [FFF] is displayed on the prize ball remaining number display device 25, the payout control RAM 32c counts the number of unpaid balls. For this reason, in the prize ball remaining number display device 25, when [FFF] is not displayed, the corresponding number of prize balls is added to the appearance every time a game ball is awarded to various winning ports, while [FFF] When is displayed, the number of prize balls is not visually added even if a game ball wins various winning holes. For this reason, when [FFF] is displayed on the winning ball remaining number display device 25, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to grasp the number of winning balls corresponding to various winning ports from the change in the display content.

Further, the payout control CPU 32a executes payout control processing for causing the ball payout device 33 to perform a game ball payout operation at predetermined intervals.
When the number of unpaid balls stored in the payout control RAM 32c is not "1" or more, the payout control CPU 32a does not give a payout operation instruction because there are no unpaid prize balls. On the other hand, when the number of unpaid balls stored in the payout control RAM 32c is “1” or more, the payout control CPU 32a outputs a payout operation signal for instructing a payout operation of game balls to the ball payout device 33. The ball payout device 33 to which this payout operation signal is input operates the prize ball solenoid 33a so as to pay out “1 ball” of game balls. The game ball paid out by the operation of the prize ball solenoid 33a is detected by the prize ball sensor 33b, and a detection signal indicating the detection is also output to the payout control CPU 32a.

  That is, after outputting the payout operation signal, the payout control CPU 32a that inputs the detection signal from the prize ball sensor 33b subtracts “1” from the number of unpaid balls stored in the payout control RAM 32c. Subsequently, the payout control CPU 32a controls the display content of the prize ball remaining number display device 25 so as to display the number of unpaid balls stored in the payout control RAM 32c. In this manner, the payout control CPU 32a outputs the payout operation signal and then inputs the detection signal from the prize ball sensor 33b, thereby determining that the payout of the game ball based on the payout operation signal is completed.

In the present embodiment, the payout control CPU 32a controls the above-described payout control process depending on whether the big hit game or the small hit game is being played.
That is, when the opening control command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the payout control CPU 32a is instructed to start the big hit game and the small hit game, and is instructed to end the big hit game and the small hit game to which the ending command is input. In the meantime, delay control is accompanied. The payout control CPU 32a performs normal control without delay control after inputting the ending command.

  In this delay control, the payout control CPU 32a extends the operation interval of the prize ball solenoid 33a in the payout operation by “0.5 seconds” than the normal time during the big hit game and the small hit game. Specifically, for example, when comparing the time until paying out 10 game balls between the normal game without delay control and the big hit game with delay control and the small hit game, FIG. Differences as shown in b) can be made. FIGS. 12A and 12B show “permitted” and “restricted” states of the payout operation.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (a), at the normal time, the game balls are paid out by “one ball” at a predetermined operation interval (for example, “0.1 seconds”) at the normal time, and a prize is also given. The display content of the remaining ball number display device 25 is subtracted by “1”. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), during the big hit game and the small hit game, "one ball" is played at intervals obtained by adding "0.5 seconds" to a predetermined operation interval determined in normal time. The payout of the balls is performed, and the display content of the remaining prize ball display device 25 is subtracted by “1”. That is, during the big hit game and the small hit game, the game balls are paid out by “one ball” at a delay of “0.5 seconds” from the normal time. In addition, when the payout of the “10 balls” game balls is completed at the normal time, the display contents of the prize ball remaining number display device 25 are compared, and “10 balls” are displayed at the normal time shown in FIG. On the other hand, the result of [000] is subtracted. On the other hand, when the big hit game and the small hit game shown in FIG.

  As a result, the payout control CPU 32a calculates the payout time required for completing the payout of the game ball based on the payout signal after inputting the payout signal during the big hit game and the small hit game in which the delay control is performed. Will also delay. Further, in this case, during the big hit game and the small hit game in which the delay control is performed, the time related to the decrease in the number of unpaid balls is extended from the normal time.

  For this reason, the number of unpaid balls is likely to increase more than usual by adding a delay control with a payout operation while a game ball can be won from the next to the next as in a big hit game. Become. Then, at the end of the big hit game, it is possible to create a state in which a lot of unpaid prize balls whose payout is delayed during the big hit game remain. In such a state, unpaid prize balls are continuously paid out even after the big hit game ends. Further, in such a state, when [FFF] is displayed and maintained on the winning ball remaining number display device 25, the player is made to know the number of winning balls corresponding to various winning ports from the change in the display content. A difficult state can be created after the end of the big hit game.

  In this way, the various switches SW1 to SW4, SW6, SW7 that give the payout conditions triggered by winning at each winning opening function as payout condition giving means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that processes the detection results of the various switches SW1 to SW4, SW6, and SW7 can also function as the payout condition adding means. Further, the payout control CPU 32a and the ball payout device 33 related to payout of the game ball function as payout executing means based on the establishment of the payout condition. Also, the payout control CPU 32a that performs delay control that delays the payout time required from when the payout condition is satisfied until the payout of the game ball is completed functions as a payout delay control means. The various switches SW1 to SW4, SW6, SW7 (main control CPU 30a), the payout control CPU 32a, and the ball payout device 33 constitute a payout means.

Next, processing related to the opening effect and the ending effect in the big hit game and the small hit game in the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the current win is either Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2 and whether the big hit time state is a variable or non-change state. The control performed after the opening command is output is made different depending on whether the post-change state is the change-change state or the non-change state.

First, the case where the winning shown in the top row of FIG. 13 is Special Figure 1 and the big hit state is the non-variable state will be described.
In this case, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command to set the opening time after the end of the variable game in which the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop display. With the passage of time, a command (round command or the like) for instructing opening of the first first big prize opening 18 is output to the effect control CPU 31a. The main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command, “5 seconds” for big hits A to D, F to H, “4.3 seconds” for big hit E, “ The opening of the first first prize winning opening 18 is instructed with each passage of “10.46 seconds”.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game in accordance with the winning situation of the game balls, and outputs an ending command when the opening interval time has elapsed after the opening of the last first big winning opening 18 is completed. . Further, the main control CPU 30a is configured to vary the control performed after the output of the ending command in accordance with the state of change after the big hit.

  In other words, when the after-big hit variable state is the non-variable state, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command after setting the ending command and outputs a time corresponding to the big hit or the small hit after the ending command is output. As a result, a change pattern designation command for instructing the start of the next change game is output on the condition that one of the stored memory numbers is present. The main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command, and triggers each of “10 seconds” in the case of big hits A to D and F to H, and “5 seconds” in the case of big hits E and small hits I. In addition, it is possible to instruct the start of the next variable game.

  On the other hand, when the change after the big hit is the change, the main control CPU 30a does not set the ending time. Therefore, when the release interval time elapses, any one of the pending storage numbers exists after the ending command. A change pattern designation command for instructing the start of the next change game is output on the condition.

  For this reason, when the win shown in the top row of FIG. 13 is the special figure 1 and the state of the big hit is in the non-changeable state, the big hit game or the small hit game with a different structure depending on the changed state after the big hit Will be done. In other words, when the change state after the big hit is the non-change state, the opening time (OP) for performing the opening effect and the round time (RN) for performing the effect during opening / closing of the big prize opening A big hit game or a small hit game constituted by an ending time (ED) for performing an ending effect is performed. On the other hand, in the case where the state of change after the big hit is the state of change, the opening time (OP) for performing the opening effect and the round time (RN) for performing the effect during opening / closing of the big prize opening The configured big hit game or small hit game is played.

  In other words, if the win is Special Figure 1 and the big hit time state is the non-variable short state, and the short hit after the short hit state is the variable short state, the ending time as if the short hit after the short hit state is the non-variable state It is possible to shorten the time until the next variation game is performed after the end of the variation game in which the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state than when the symbol is assigned.

  Next, a case where the winning shown in the middle part of FIG. 13 is Special Figure 1 and the winning time is in a variable state and the case where the winning shown in the bottom part of FIG. 13 is Special Figure 2 will be described. In the case where the winning is in FIG. 2, the same control is performed regardless of whether the variable state or the non-variable state.

  In this case, the main control CPU 30a does not set the opening time after the end of the variable game in which the big win symbol or the small win symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state, and therefore, following the opening command, instructs the opening of the first big winning opening. Command (round command or the like) to be output to the CPU 31a for effect control.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game in accordance with the winning situation of the game balls, and does not set the ending time after the opening of the last big winning opening, so when the opening interval time elapses. Subsequent to the ending command, a variation pattern designating command for instructing the start of the next variation game is output on the condition that any of the number of reserved memories is present.

  Therefore, when the winning shown in the middle of FIG. 13 is Special Figure 1 and the winning time is variable, and when the winning shown in the bottom of FIG. A big hit game or a small hit game constituted only by the round time (RN) in which the production is performed is performed. In other words, if the winning time is variable, or if the winning is Special Figure 2, when the winning is Special Figure 1 and the opening time or ending time is assigned such that the winning time is not variable It can be shortened from the end of the variation game in which the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state until the next variation game is performed.

  In the present embodiment, in the non-variable state in which the first variable game is mainly performed, the situation where the big win or the small win is won mainly occurs in the first variable game. A configured big hit game or a small hit game will appear. It should be noted that if the player is in a non-changed state after the big hit, it is a transition to the special mode MB or the preparation mode MC. If it is in a variable state, it is a scene of transition to the continuous resort mode MD. That is, in the non-variable short state, a big hit or a small win in the first variation game occurs, so that a big hit game or a small hit game to which an opening time and an ending time are allocated when shifting to the special mode MB or the preparation mode MC. It will go through. Also, in the non-variable short state, a big hit or a small hit in the first variation game occurs, so that a big hit game or a small hit game in which an opening time is allocated but an ending time is not allocated at the time of transition to the villa mode MD. It will pass.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the variable state where the second variable game is mainly performed, the situation where the big win or the small win is won mainly occurs in the second variable game, and therefore, as shown at the bottom of FIG. A big hit game or a small hit game configured as shown in FIG. In addition, on the appearance of a player, it will be the scene of re-transition to ream mode MD, or re-transition to this ream mode ME or re-transition. In other words, in the variable state, a big hit or a small hit in the second variation game occurs, so that the opening time and the ending time are changed when re-transferring to the consecutive-villa mode MD, or when switching to the main-village mode ME or re-transferring. It will go through a big hit game or a small hit game that is not assigned.

  In this embodiment, even in the non-variable short state, a big hit or a small hit may occur in the second variable game. In this case, a big hit game or a small hit game that does not allocate the opening time and the ending time. After that, the transition to the predetermined production mode is made. In the present embodiment, even in the variable state, a big hit or a small hit may occur in the first variation game. In this case, a big hit game or a small hit game to which no opening time and ending time are assigned is performed. After that, the transition to the predetermined production mode is made.

  Then, in accordance with the various commands output from the main control CPU 30a as described above, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to cause various effects during the big hit game and the small hit game. .

  That is, when the winning is a special figure 1 and the winning time is in an unchangeable state, when the winning command is input, the presentation control CPU 31a opens depending on the types of the big hit and the small hit during the set opening time. Production, that is, production during big hit game and small hit game is started. Subsequently, when the CPU 31a for effect control inputs a command (round command or the like) for instructing the opening of the first big prize opening, the presentation is performed during opening / closing of the big prize opening according to the type of the big hit or the small hit. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 31a performs control according to the short-hit and short-time changing state. In other words, in this case, if the CPU 31a for effect control is in a situation in which the variable state after the big hit becomes the non-changeable state, when the ending command is input, the big hit and the small hit according to the type of the big hit and the small hit are set during the set ending time. After the ending effect is performed, the control is performed so that the effect of the symbol variation game by the next decorative drawing is performed upon the input of the variation pattern designation command. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 31a does not perform the ending effect even if the ending command is input if the change state after the big hit becomes the variable state, and subsequently inputs the variation pattern designation command to be input. Control is performed so that the design of the symbol variation game by the next decorative drawing is performed.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a does not perform the opening effect even if the opening command is input when the winning is in the special figure 1 and the winning time is changed or the winning is in the special figure 2. . Further, the production control CPU 31a receives an input of a command (round command or the like) for instructing opening of the first big prize opening that is subsequently input, and the production during opening / closing of the big prize opening according to the type of the big hit or the small hit. That is, the effects during the big hit game and the small hit game are started. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 31a does not perform the ending effect even if the ending command is input, and performs the effect of the symbol variation game by the next decoration drawing in response to the subsequent input of the variation pattern designation command. To control.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, when the winning is Special Figure 1 and the winning time is in an unchangeable state, the start of the big hit game and the small hit game is notified by the opening effect in the effects during the game. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in this case, if the change state after the big hit becomes the non-changeable state, the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is notified by the ending effect in the effects during the game. On the other hand, in this embodiment, in this case, if the change state after the big hit becomes the changed state, the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is not notified during these games because the ending effect is not performed. Next, the next variation game (design variation game with decorative drawings) will be started.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the winning is Special Figure 1 and the winning time is changed, or when the winning is Special Figure 2, since the opening effect is not performed, the big hit game and the start of the small hit game are started. The opening of the special winning opening will be started before being notified. Further, in this case, since the ending effect is not performed, the next variation game (design variation game with a decorative drawing) is started before the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is notified during these games. Become.

  In this embodiment, when the end of the big hit game and the small hit game is not notified during these games, the big hit game and the big hit game and the second big game (design variation game with decorations) performed after the end of these games are performed. A special ending effect is announced to notify the end of the small hit game.

  Such special ending effects are performed in the case of special hits A to D and F to H, which are special figures 1, or big hits a to f, which are special figures 2, while the big hits E and small which are special figures 1. It is not performed at the time of winning the winning I or the small winning g which is the special figure 2. That is, after the winning of the big hit E in the variable speed state, the effect control CPU 31a performs control so as to make a transition or a re-transition to the main consecutive villa mode ME. As an effect during the jackpot game corresponding to the winning of the jackpot E in such a variable state, an ending effect is not performed during the jackpot game by associating with an effect informing the transition to the main villa mode ME. However, the player can proceed with the game without feeling uncomfortable. In addition, after winning the small hit I or small hit g in the variable state, in principle, the effect control CPU 31a performs control so that the effect mode at the time of winning is apparently continued. As an effect during the small hit game corresponding to the winning of the small hit I and the small hit g in such a variable state, it is possible to associate the effect which makes it difficult to notice (conceal) these winnings per se. Even if the ending effect is not performed during the game, the player can proceed with the game without feeling uncomfortable.

Next, a process for performing a special ending effect will be described.
The situation in which the special ending effect described above is performed is that the reach probability and the variation pattern are determined by the main control CPU 30a based on the variable state “present (special)”, and the effect control CPU 31a determines the range. Transition to mode MD or transition to mode MD is performed. That is, the situation in which the special ending effect is performed is a situation in which the variation game by the variation pattern HP97 can be performed up to four times based on the second reserved memory number. In such a situation, a right-handed recommended effect is performed during a big hit game or the like, or the winning state is already in a variable state or the second variable game is being played, so the second reserved memory number is “ It is highly likely that it is “1” or more, and the second variation game based on the variation pattern HP97 is particularly likely to be played.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when there is a second variable game whose execution is suspended, the second variable game that is a big hit (excluding the small hit) is included in the hold (hereinafter, “ "On-hold big hit" is configured so that it can be notified during the special ending performance. In the present embodiment, the content of the special ending effect is varied depending on whether or not the on-hold bonus is included.

  Then, when performing the special ending effect, the effect control CPU 31a can input the ending command and execute the symbol variation game according to the next decorative drawing, that is, whether there is an on-hold big hit at the end of the big hit game. It is determined whether or not, and processing according to the determination result is performed. When performing the special ending effect, the effect control CPU 31a determines the content of the special ending effect in the form shown in FIG. On the other hand, when performing the special ending effect, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the special ending effect in the form shown in FIG.

  Next, a description will be given of a pre-determination process for the main control CPU 30a to instruct the presentation control CPU 31a with information (in this embodiment, a pre-determination command) for determining whether or not there is an on-hold big hit. Note that the pre-determination process is a jackpot determination random number and a special figure distribution among various random number values acquired when the game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 15 in the special symbol input process described above. This is a process for predetermining the value of the random number prior to the special symbol starting process to be performed later, and generating and outputting a predetermination command for instructing the result of the predetermination.

  In order to perform the pre-determination process shown in FIG. 14 (a), the main control CPU 30a determines that the second start winning opening 15 has been won in the special symbol input process. As a result, the main control RAM 30c Are read and acquired, and the acquired various values are set in the main control RAM 30c, and then a preliminary determination process is performed.

  Then, in the pre-determination process, the main control CPU 30a compares the jackpot determination random number value set in the main control RAM 30c with the winning to reach the pre-determination process and the jackpot determination value for the non-probability change state. Whether or not both values match is determined in advance (step S101). In step S101, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second variation game based on the second start and hold ball that is the object of the prior determination is the game state of the probability variation state and the non-probability variation state at the time of the special symbol start process to be performed later. , Whether or not to win a big hit.

  If the determination result in step S101 is affirmative (when it matches the jackpot determination value for the uncertain change state), the main control CPU 30a performs the main control RAM 30c according to the second pending storage number and the winning that leads to the current preliminary determination process. The type of jackpot based on the value of the random number for special figure distribution is confirmed from among the set to (step S102). In step S <b> 102, the main control CPU 30 a means the second reserved memory number after being updated by adding 1 as the second reserved memory number by winning that reaches the current preliminary determination process. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a generates (sets) any one of E × H00H to 02H as a pre-determination command shown in FIG. 14B according to the result of step S102 (step S103). The process ends. The main control CPU 30a outputs the prior determination command generated in step S103 to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the prior determination command that can be generated in step S103 is “low probability large hit” in which the value of the big hit determination random number used in the prior determination matches the big hit determination value for the non-probable change state. To be. In addition, [E × H] constituting the upper byte of the prior determination command that can be generated in step S103 indicates the second reserved storage number confirmed in step S102. That is, [E5H] has the second reserved memory number [1], [E6H] has the second reserved memory number [2], [E7H] has the second reserved memory number [3], and [E8H] has the second The number of reserved memories indicates [4], respectively. [00H], [01H], and [02H] constituting the lower byte of the prior determination command that can be generated in step S103 indicate the type of jackpot confirmed in step S102. That is, [00H] indicates big hits a and d, [01H] specifies big hits b and e, and [02H] specifies big hits c and f, respectively.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S101 is negative (if it does not match the jackpot determination value for the non-probability change state), the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot from the set in the main control RAM 30c by winning that leads to a prior determination process. The value of the random number for use and the jackpot determination value for the probability variation state are compared, and it is determined in advance whether or not both values match (step S104). In step S104, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second variable game based on the second start-and-hold ball to be determined in advance is a big hit only in the case of a probable change state during a special symbol start process to be performed later. Is pre-determined.

  If the determination result in step S104 is negative (if it does not coincide with the jackpot determination value for the probability variation state), the main control CPU 30a generates a prior determination command because it will not be a big hit in the special symbol start process to be performed later. The pre-judgment process is terminated without On the other hand, if the determination result in step S104 is affirmative (when it matches the jackpot determination value for the probability variation state), the main control CPU 30a uses the second reserved memory number and the winning to reach the current prior determination process for main control. The type of jackpot based on the value of the random number for special map distribution is confirmed from the settings in the RAM 30c (step S105). In step S <b> 105, the main control CPU 30 a means the second reserved memory number after being updated by adding 1 as the second reserved memory number by winning that reaches the current preliminary determination process. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a generates (sets) any one of E × H03H to 05H as a pre-determination command shown in FIG. 14B according to the result of step S105 (step S106). The process ends. The main control CPU 30a outputs the prior determination command generated in step S106 to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the prior determination command that can be generated in step S106 is a “high probability large hit” in which the value of the big hit determination random number used in the prior determination matches the jackpot determination value for the probability variation state. Instruct. [E × H] constituting the upper byte of the prior determination command that can be generated in step S106 indicates the second reserved storage number confirmed in step S105. That is, [E5H] has the second reserved memory number [1], [E6H] has the second reserved memory number [2], [E7H] has the second reserved memory number [3], and [E8H] has the second The number of reserved memories indicates [4], respectively. [03H], [04H], and [05H] constituting the lower byte of the prior determination command that can be generated in step S106 indicate the type of jackpot confirmed in step S105. That is, [03H] indicates big hits a and d, [04H] indicates big hits b and e, and [05H] indicates big hits c and f, respectively.

  In this way, when the game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 15 (winning detection), it is determined in advance whether or not the second variable game indicated by each random number value acquired at that time is a big hit. The control CPU 30a can serve as a prior determination unit.

  Then, when the production control CPU 31a inputs a prior determination command, information necessary for a special symbol type area as a predetermined storage area of the production control RAM 31c in association with the second reserved memory number instructed by the command ( Store (set) flags and commands themselves. When the CPU 31a for effect control inputs a preliminary determination command for instructing the second reserved memory number [1], the CPU 31a stores necessary information in the special symbol type area corresponding to the second reserved memory number [1]. In addition, when the CPU 31a for effect control inputs a prior determination command for instructing the second reserved memory number [2], it stores necessary information in the special symbol type area corresponding to the second reserved memory number [2]. In addition, when the CPU 31a for effect control inputs a prior determination command for instructing the second reserved memory number [3], the CPU 31a stores necessary information in the special symbol type area corresponding to the second reserved memory number [3]. In addition, when the CPU 31a for effect control inputs a prior determination command for instructing the second reserved memory number [4], the CPU 31a stores necessary information in the special symbol type area corresponding to the second reserved memory number [4].

  Then, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a reads the information stored in the special symbol type area associated with the second reserved storage number [1], and associates it with “during variation”. It is set (stored) in the special symbol type area. The special symbol type area associated with “being changed” is a storage area for setting information regarding the second changing game being executed. Then, the information set in the special symbol type area “changed” is deleted when the target second variable game ends (input of a symbol stop command).

  In addition, when the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a associates the information of the special symbol type area associated with the second reserved memory number [1] with the second reserved memory number [2]. The information is rewritten to the information stored in the special symbol type area. Similarly, the CPU 31a for effect control stores the information on the special symbol type area associated with the second reserved memory number [2] in the special symbol type area associated with the second reserved memory number [3]. Rewrite the information as it is. Similarly, the effect control CPU 31a stores information on the special symbol type area associated with the second reserved memory number [3] in the special symbol type area associated with the second reserved memory number [4]. Rewrite it with the information you have. Similarly, the effect control CPU 31a clears (erases) the information stored in the special symbol type area associated with the second reserved memory number [4]. In this way, the effect control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command, and processes the information of the special symbol type area every time execution of the variation game is instructed.

  In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a maintains all information in the special symbol type area without erasing even after the big hit game is over. Thereby, in this embodiment, prior determination after winning the big hit and prior determination based on winning in the second start winning opening 15 during the big win game are also valid (reflected).

Next, a process for determining the content of the special ending effect using the result of such prior determination will be described.
The effect control CPU 31a reads the information stored in the special symbol type area at the end of the big hit game for inputting the ending command, and determines whether there is a big hit in the hold or not. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a performs the on-hold determination after inputting a probability change command or the like instructing the gaming state after the end of the big hit game.

  In the on-hold determination, when the probability control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a is low as information on the special symbol type area because the second variable game that is suspended is accompanied by a jackpot determination in the probability change state. It is determined whether or not there is an on-hold big hit by determining whether or not there is a content indicating a big hit or a high probability big hit. In addition, in the on-hold determination, when the non-probability change command is input, the effect control CPU 31a is accompanied by a jackpot determination in the non-probability change state for the second variable game that is being executed, so information on the special symbol type area As described above, it is determined whether or not there is a content indicating a low probability big hit, thereby determining whether or not a pending big hit exists.

  When the determination result of the in-hold determination is negative (when it is determined that there is no on-hold big hit), the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect contents of the special ending effect in the manner shown in FIG. . In the special ending effect of the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 performs a display effect in which a predetermined character appears and an image of a plate such as “Chance is being continued” is displayed without interruption.

  As described above, when the determination result of the in-hold determination is negative, all of the second variable games that are suspended at the end of the big hit game are not big hits, but are small hits or lost. Also, in the situation of the variable state “present (special)” assumed here, if it is out of reach for the reach determination, it means that there is no reach. For this reason, when the determination result of the on-hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a does not win the small win as the content of the second variable game that is suspended at the end of the big hit game. The content based on the fluctuation pattern for the deviation fluctuation is determined.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 15A, the main control CPU 30a causes the second variable game whose execution is suspended based on the number of each stored memory to be played. Note that, as described above, the main control CPU 30a determines that from the end of the jackpot game to the end of the second variable game that has been suspended, regardless of the second number of reserved memory at the end of the jackpot game. The variation pattern is determined to be “3.58 seconds”. Further, when there is no second variable game that is suspended at the end of the big hit game, that is, when there is no on-hold big hit, as shown in FIG. Under the condition of the variable game within four times, the variable game by winning the second start winning opening 15 is performed.

  Therefore, in the situation where the effect control CPU 31a can execute the special ending effect after the end of the jackpot game, and there is a second variable game that is suspended at the end of the jackpot game, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that a special ending effect is performed across these second variable games. In the situation where the special ending effect can be executed after the jackpot game is finished, the game is executed after the jackpot game is finished, regardless of the number of second variable games that are suspended at the end of the jackpot game. Is adjusted so that the variation time until the end of the second variation game is held at the same time ("3.58 seconds"). For this reason, in the situation where the special control ending effect can be executed after the end of the jackpot game, the effect control CPU 31a is the same regardless of the number of times the second variable game is suspended at the end of the jackpot game. A special ending effect is produced based on the contents of the effect (effect data).

  As a result, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15A, the variation game to be executed for the special ending effect is “4 times”, “3 times”, or “2 times”. In this case, a special ending effect based on the effect contents connected in the second variation game is performed. In other words, depending on the number of times of the second variable game that is the target of execution of the special ending effect, the contents of the effect corresponding to each second variable game are also different. In the present embodiment, when the second variable game that is the target of execution of the special ending effect is “once”, the special ending effect based on the effect content connected between the second variable games is performed. .

  Specifically, when the execution of the second variable game that reaches four times is suspended at the end of the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a performs a special ending effect across the first to fourth times of the second variable game. . In addition, when the execution of the second variation game is suspended three times without reaching four times after the end of the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a performs a special operation across the first to third second variation games. Make an ending production. In addition, when the execution of the second variation game is suspended two times without reaching four times at the end of the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a performs special ending across the first and second second variation games. Make a production. In addition, when the execution of one second variable game is put on hold without reaching four times at the end of the big hit game, the effect control CPU 31a performs a special ending effect across the first second variable game. Make it.

  When there is no second variable game that is suspended at the end of the jackpot game, the effect control CPU 31a is connected by one second variable game in which a start condition is given after the jackpot game ends. A special ending production can be performed depending on the production content.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the on-hold determination is affirmative (when it is determined that the on-hold big hit exists), the effect control CPU 31a has the effect shown in FIG. 15B as the effect content of the special ending effect. The content of the special ending effect that informs that there is a jackpot within the hold is determined. In the special ending effect of the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 performs an effect in which the jackpot game is not finished yet, that is, the display effect having the same content as the round effect during the jackpot game is performed without interruption. .

  As described above, when the determination result of the on-hold determination is affirmative, any of the second variable games that are suspended at the end of the big hit game is a big hit, while the second variable game other than the big hit is a small hit or missed It turns out that. Also, in the situation of the variable state “present (special)” assumed here, if it is out of reach for the reach determination, it means that there is no reach. For this reason, when the determination result of the on-hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has the content before the target of the on-hold big hit among the second variable games that are held off at the end of the big hit game. The content based on the variation pattern for variation is determined on the condition that the small hit is not won.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 15B, the main control CPU 30a causes the second variable game whose execution is suspended based on the second reserved memory number to be performed. Note that, as described above, the main control CPU 30a determines that from the end of the jackpot game to the end of the second variable game that has been suspended, regardless of the second number of reserved memory at the end of the jackpot game. While the variation pattern is determined to be “3.58 seconds”, the variation pattern based on the winning of the big win is determined in the second variation game that is a big hit on the way. Further, in this case, since at least a pre-determination command is input, there is no possibility that there is no second variable game whose execution is suspended at the end of the big hit game.

  For this reason, in the situation where the effect control CPU 31a can execute the special ending effect after the end of the jackpot game, and there is a second variable game that is suspended at the end of the jackpot game, The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so that a special ending effect is performed across these second variation games. In the situation where the special ending effect can be executed after the big hit game is over, the execution of the second variable game is held at least as many times as the number of the hits in the hold big hit. The variation time of the second variation game to be executed before the target second variation game is “0.52 seconds”. For this reason, in the situation where the effect control CPU 31a is capable of executing the special ending effect after the end of the big hit game, until the end of the second variable game that is the target of the on-hold big hit, A special ending production with the same content will be performed. In this way, in the case where the same content as the round effect is continuously performed by the special ending effect at the time when the big hit game should actually end, the player is notified of the presence of the big hit in the hold. . Further, in the present embodiment, a big hit notification effect for notifying that a big hit will be made with the start of the variable game that is the target of the big hit in the hold is also performed.

  As a result, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15B, the second variation game that is the target of execution of the special ending effect is “4 times”, “3 times”, or “2 times” multiple times. In such a case, a special ending effect based on the effect content connected in the second variation game will be performed. In other words, depending on the number of times of the second variable game that is the target of execution of the special ending effect, the contents of the effect corresponding to each second variable game are different. In the present embodiment, when the second variable game that is the target of execution of the special ending effect is “once”, the special ending effect based on the effect content connected between the second variable games is performed. .

  Specifically, the production control CPU 31a performs the first to fourth times when the second variation game of the fourth time among the second variation games that are suspended at the end of the big hit game is the target of the big hit in the hold. A special ending effect is performed across the second variation game. Further, the effect control CPU 31a performs the first to third times of the second variation game, which is suspended at the end of the big hit game, when the third second variable game is the target of the big hit in the hold. A special ending effect is performed across the two-variable game. In addition, when the second variation game of the second variation game that is suspended at the end of the big hit game is the target of the big hit in the hold, the effect control CPU 31a performs the first and second times of the second variation game. A special ending effect is performed across the two-variable game. Further, the effect control CPU 31a, when the first second variable game among the second variable games that are suspended at the end of the big hit game is the target of the big hit in the hold, the first second variable game A special ending production is performed across the.

  If the variation pattern is determined based on the variable state “presence (special)” even after the special ending effect is performed, the effect control CPU 31a enters the variable state “presence (normal)”. It is designed to produce the same content as when it is determined based on it.

In this way, the effect control CPU 31a that controls the effect display device 11 to perform the special ending effect based on the on-hold big hit functions as a notification control unit.
Next, the flow of the game of this embodiment is demonstrated based on FIGS.

  In the examples of FIGS. 16 to 19, the floating game or the usual game is held without interruption, and the second reserved memory number is not interrupted particularly during the change of state. The case where it exists is shown. In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 16 to 19, the execution of the variable game is indicated as “real”, the non-execution is indicated as “non”, the execution of the big hit game is indicated as “real”, and the non-execution is indicated as “non”. , “Open” indicates that the grand prize opening is open, “Closed” indicates that it is closed, “Real” indicates that the usual game is being executed, “Non” indicates that it is not being executed, and “Open” indicates that the open / close door 16 is open. “Open” and closed are shown as “closed”.

  First, in the present embodiment, the flow of the game before and after the big hit game from the non-variable short state, and after the big hit game is in the non-variable short state, the flow of the game that shifts from the normal zone to the preparation zone Will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the flow of the game before and after the big hit game from the non-variable short state, and after transitioning to the big hit game, the flow of the game is changed from the normal zone or the preparation zone to the villa zone 17 will be described. In FIG. 16, the first variation game is performed during the non-variable short state, and the big hit symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed based on the winning of the big hits B to D and F to H (low) as shown in FIG. The case where the big hit game in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened is illustrated. On the other hand, FIG. 17 shows that the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped based on the winning of the big hit A, big hits B to D, and F to H (high) which are the special figure 1 in which the first variable game is performed during the non-changeable state. Subsequently, the case where the big hit game in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened is illustrated. In the example of FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, as the opening of the first big prize opening 18 in the jackpot game, the first opening by “0.04 seconds” is accompanied by “5 times” or “10 times” and then “25 seconds”. Will be accompanied by "5 times". In the example of FIGS. 16 and 17, when opening the first big winning opening 18 in the jackpot game is accompanied by the first opening by “25 seconds”, the opening by “25 seconds” is accompanied by “5 times”. Become. Such opening of the first grand prize winning opening 18 is accompanied by an opening interval time of “1.5 seconds”. In the following description, the term “big hit game from non-variable short state to non-variable short state” means big hits B to D and F to H (low) among the big wins in the first variable game, while In the case of the big hit game from the short state to the variable short state, the big hit A, the big hit B to D, and F to H (high) among the big hits in the first variable game are meant.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 16, in the big hit game from the non-variable short state to the non-variable short state, in addition to being in the non-variable short state at the time of winning and being a big hit in the first variable game Since, after the big hit, the variable state is the non-variable state, the opening time “5 seconds (OP)” and the ending time “10 seconds (ED)” are set respectively. In the big hit game that changes from the non-variable state to the non-variable state, after the big hit game is finished, the variable game that is suspended is played under the non-variable state. In the non-variable state after the big hit in the first variable game from the non-variable state, the contents of each variable game are determined by the variable state “None”. Fluctuation game by variation time comes to be played.

  For this reason, in the effect display apparatus 11, an opening effect is performed with the start of a big hit game. In this opening effect, a right-handed recommended effect is also performed. In addition, in the effect display device 11, a round effect is performed in accordance with the opening of the first big prize opening 18 during the big hit game. In the effect display device 11, an ending effect is performed with the end of the big hit game. Further, in the effect display device 11, after the big hit game is over, the preparation mode MC for informing that the variation game (design variation game by the decorative drawing) whose execution is suspended is in the variable state and is in the preparation zone. And a left-handed recommended rendition.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, in the big hit game from the non-variable state to the variable state, in addition to being in the non-variable state at the time of winning and being a big hit in the first variable game, Since the changing state after the big hit is the changing state, the opening time “5 seconds (OP)” is set, while the ending time is not set. For this reason, in the big hit game from the non-changeable state to the variable state, the opening effect is performed with the start of the big hit game immediately after the final stop display of the big hit symbol in the immediately preceding variable game. In this opening effect, a right-handed recommended effect is also performed. Further, in the big hit game that changes from the non-changeable state to the variable state, after the big hit game is finished, the variable game that is suspended is played under the changed state. Note that, in the variable state after the big hit from the non-variable state, if there is a second reserved memory number, it is executed at the end of the big hit game under the condition of losing regardless of the second reserved memory number. Will be adjusted to the same time until the end of the second variable game.

  For this reason, in the effect display apparatus 11, an opening effect is performed with the start of a big hit game. In this opening effect, a right-handed recommended effect is also performed. In addition, in the effect display device 11, a round effect is performed in accordance with the opening of the first big prize opening 18 during the big hit game. In addition, in the effect display device 11, after the jackpot game is over, the extended game mode MD for notifying that the variable game (design variable game with a decorative drawing) whose execution is suspended is in the variable state and in the extended game zone. To be done. Further, in the effect display device 11, after the big hit game is finished, a special ending effect is performed in the second variation game (design variation game with decorations) that is suspended. In addition, in the effect display device 11, when the on-hold big hit is present in the second fluctuation game (the symbol fluctuation game by the decorative drawing) that is suspended after the big hit game ends, A special effect is performed in the second variation game in which execution including the target second variation game is suspended.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, in the case of a big hit game from the non-variable short state, the left-handed game is basically performed before the start of the big hit game in the non-variable short state. Therefore, the start condition of the ordinary game cannot be established, that is, the ordinary game itself is not played. For this reason, when it is a big hit game from the non-variable short state, it is difficult to assume a scene where the opening of the second start winning opening 15 and the opening of the first first big winning opening 18 of the current big hit game overlap. (It can't be done). In the big hit game from the non-variable short state, since the opening time is set, the opening of the second start winning opening 15 and the opening of the first first big winning opening 18 in the current big hit game overlap. It is difficult (or impossible) to assume the scene.

  Also, in the case of a big hit game from the non-variable short state, since the right-handed game is performed after the start of the big hit game, the start condition of the normal figure game can be satisfied, that is, the Can be done. On the other hand, during the big hit game, this period is in an unchangeable state, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary game is longer than that in the altered state, and it is harder to win in the ordinary figure than in the altered state. Therefore, it is difficult (cannot) to open the second start winning opening 15. For this reason, in the case of a big hit game from the non-variable short state, the opening of the second start winning opening 15 and the opening of the first big winning opening 18 of the current big hit game overlap even during the big hit game. It is difficult to make assumptions.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, in the non-changed state after the end of the big hit game, the normal game is longer in the normal game than the variable state, and the normal game is also in the variable state. And since it is harder to win than the big hit of the special figure (it is not won in most cases), it is difficult to open the second start winning opening 15 (it is not realized in most cases).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 17, in the variable state after the end of the big hit game, the normal game is shorter in the fluctuation time of the normal game than in the non-variable state, and the normal game is not variable. Since it is easier to win than the big hits of the state and special figure (they are won in most cases), the opening of the second start winning opening 15 is easy to be realized (it is realized in most cases). Also, when the second start winning opening 15 is opened in the variable state after the big hit game is over, the majority of the game balls flowing down the right region H1 (R) are won with a longer open time than in the non-variable state. It has become possible.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the payout operation performs normal control before starting the big hit game, while performing delay control after starting the big hit game. In the jackpot game based on the jackpot in the first floating game, the number of round games that can substantially acquire a prize ball is five times at maximum, and the prescribed number and prize balls to the first big prize opening 18 Even if the number is considered, payout of game balls of “1000 balls” or more is not expected, so that the display content of the remaining award ball number display device 25 cannot overflow.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17, after the end of the big hit game from the non-changeable state to the changed state, after the end of the opening of the last first big winning port 18 in the big hit game, the first big winning port 18 It is possible to create a situation where award balls are continuously paid out even if there is no winning. In such a situation, even if a game ball wins the second start winning opening 15, it is accompanied by payout of the game ball that has been delayed, so the number of winning balls for winning the second start winning opening 15 is "1". It is difficult for the player to grasp (do not grasp) that it is a “ball”.

  Next, in the present embodiment, the flow of the game before and after the big hit game from the shortage state, and after changing to the big hit game, the state is changed to the shortage state. The flow of the game to be (re-migrated) will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, the second variation game is performed during the variable state, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped based on the winning of the big hits a to f, and then the second big winning opening 22 is opened. The case where the jackpot game to be started is illustrated. In the example of FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, as the opening of the second big prize opening 22 in the jackpot game, the first opening by “25 seconds” is accompanied by “1 time”, and then the second and third times by “8 seconds”. The opening, that is, the opening after the second is accompanied by “14 times”, “9 times”, or “4 times”. Such opening of the second big prize opening 22 is accompanied by an opening interval time of “1.5 seconds”. Moreover, in the example of FIG. 19, the case where the variable state after completion | finish of the big hit game shown in the example of FIG. 18 is provided is illustrated. In the following description, the big hit game from the variable state means the big hits a to f in the second variable game.

  That is, in the big hit game from the variable state, since it is a big hit in the second variable game, the opening time and the ending time are not set. For this reason, in the big hit game from the fluctuation state, the opening of the first second big winning opening 22 of the current big hit game is started immediately after the final stop display of the big hit symbol in the previous fluctuation game, and this big hit game After the end of the second big winning opening 22 at the end of the game, a variable game whose execution is suspended is played in a variable state when the opening interval time elapses. Note that, in the variable state after the big hit from the variable state, if there is a second reserved memory number, regardless of the second reserved memory number, the execution is performed at the end of the big hit game under the condition of losing. The time until the end of the second floating game being held is adjusted to be the same.

  For this reason, in the effect display device 11, a round effect is performed in accordance with the opening of the second big prize opening 22 during the big hit game without accompanying the opening effect. In addition, in the effect display device 11, after the jackpot game is over, the extended game mode MD for notifying that the variable game (design variable game with a decorative drawing) whose execution is suspended is in the variable state and in the extended game zone. And this is performed under Honrenso mode ME. Further, in the effect display device 11, after the big hit game is finished, a special ending effect is performed in the second variation game (design variation game with decorations) that is suspended. In addition, in the effect display device 11, when the on-hold big hit is present in the second fluctuation game (the symbol fluctuation game by the decorative drawing) that is suspended after the big hit game ends, A special effect is performed in the second variation game in which execution including the target second variation game is suspended.

  In the present embodiment, while the opening time is set during the big hit game, the big prize opening is not released, so it can be said that even if the game ball is fired, there is no prize at the big prize opening. Also, while the ending time is set during the big hit game, the big prize opening is not opened, so it can be said that even if the game ball is fired, there is no winning in the big prize opening.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, if the situation is such that the big hits that shift through the big hit game from the variable state can continue, the opening time and the ending time are not set, that is, “0 (zero) seconds”. As a result, even if the game ball is fired, time-efficiency is improved by eliminating the situation where no winning prize is entered.

  In the present embodiment, the ending time is not set, that is, “0 (zero) seconds” if the big hits that shift through the big hit game from the non-changed state to the changed state can continue. Thus, even if the game ball is fired at the ending time, the situation where there is no winning in the big prize opening is omitted, and the time efficiency is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the opening time and the ending time are not set for the second variable game regardless of the presence / absence of the variable state, that is, it is set to “0 (zero) seconds”. In particular, the time efficiency is improved even in a situation where the second variable game that is held at the end of the variable state is a big hit.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the big hit game from the short-running state, in the second variable game that is suspended at the end of the big hit game, the special ending effect can be used without setting the ending time. The end is notified to the player. In the second variation game with such a special ending effect, it is mainly configured to have the shortest variation time “0.52 seconds”, so that even if the end of the big hit game is notified, Extension for the period is suppressed. In the present embodiment, since the ending effect is similarly configured in the big hit game from the non-changeable state to the variable state, even if the end of the big hit game is notified, the period until the next big hit is extended. Is suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit game from the variable state, the time until the end of the second variable game for which the execution is held is the same time regardless of the number of the second hold memory at the end of the big hit game. Therefore, even if the second reserved memory number does not reach “4”, the special ending effect with the same content is not interrupted in the middle. In the present embodiment, since the special ending effect is similarly configured in the big hit game from the non-changeable state to the variable state, the second reserved memory number is set to “4” at the end of the big hit game. Even if not reached, special ending productions with the same contents are not interrupted. Further, when adjusting the time until the end of the second variable game for which execution is suspended to the same time, the last second variable game of which execution is suspended at the end of the big hit game is set to “0” as the variable time. Longer than ".52 seconds".

  Also, in this embodiment, in the big hit game from the variable state, in the second floating game that is suspended at the end of the big hit game, the special ending effect makes it possible to perform the next game without going through the changing game. A number of big hits that lead to a big hit game are expressed as if a single hit. In addition, when the special ending effect is performed in this way, the second variable game other than the on-hold big hit is “0.52 seconds” and is performed with a variation time equal to or less than the release interval time. Become. For this reason, when a big hit is made continuously as in a scene where a special ending effect is performed, it is similar to the timing at which the second big prize opening 22 is opened during the big hit game in which the second big prize opening 22 is opened. At the same time, the second big winning opening 22 is opened based on the next big hit game.

  In addition, in the case of a big hit game from a variable state, the general game is played right-handed before the start of the big hit game, which is a short state. Yes, that is, a regular game will be played. For this reason, as shown by the hatched portion in FIG. 17, when the big hit game from the variable state is reached, the opening of the second start winning opening 15 and the opening of the first second big winning opening 22 of the current big hit game overlap. Assumes that the scene will end up. In addition, in the big hit game from the variable state, since the opening time is not set, the opening of the second start winning opening 15 and the opening of the first second big winning opening 22 in this big hit game overlap. Assumptions are being made.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, with respect to the opening of the first second big winning opening 22 based on the big hits a to f, the opening of the first second big winning opening 22 is made at least longer than the opening after the second round. Even when the opening timing of the second start winning opening 15 overlaps, the hindrance of guiding the game ball to the second big winning opening 22 is suppressed as compared to the opening after the second round.

  Further, in the present embodiment, regarding the opening of the first second big prize opening 22 based on the big hits a to f, the fluctuation time of the normal game in the variable state and the second start winning hole 15 in the variable state are set. Since the opening is longer than the sum of the opening times, the opening of the second start winning opening 15 is made to end while the first second winning opening 22 is opened.

  As described above, regarding the opening of the first second prize winning opening 22 based on the big hits a to f, the fluctuation time of the normal game in the variable state and the opening time of the second start winning opening 15 in the variable state On the premise that the opening is longer than the total, the end of opening of the second start winning opening 15 is made to arrive during the opening of the first second winning opening 22 without setting the opening time.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, even if the 2nd big prize opening 22 and the 2nd start prize opening 15 are on the same channel, and the 2nd big prize hole 15 is provided in the upper stream rather than the 2nd big prize port 22, it is 2nd. The opening of the start winning opening 15 is not prevented from guiding the game ball to the second big winning opening 22.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as the opening for suppressing the opening of the second start winning opening 15 from obstructing the second large winning opening 22, only the first second winning opening 22 is set. With regard to the opening after the round, the opening time is shorter than that of the first second big winning opening 22 so that the time for digesting the big hit game is shortened.

  Also, in the case of a big hit game from a variable state, the right-handed game will continue to be played before the start of the big hit game, so the start condition of the normal figure game can be satisfied, that is, Can be done. On the other hand, during the big hit game, this period is in an unchangeable state, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary game is longer than that in the altered state, and it is harder to win in the ordinary figure than in the altered state. Therefore, it is difficult (cannot) to open the second start winning opening 15. For this reason, in the case of the big hit game from the variable state, it is assumed that the opening of the second start winning opening 15 and the opening of the first big winning opening 18 of the current big hit game overlap even during the big hit game. It is difficult to (cannot) be done.

  In addition, in the case of the variable state after the end of the big hit game from the variable state, the normal game is shorter than the non-variable state in the normal game, and the non-variable state Since it is easier to win than the big win of the special figure (it is won in most cases), the opening of the second start winning opening 15 is easy to be realized (which is realized in most cases). Also, when the second start winning opening 15 is opened in the variable state after the big hit game is over, the majority of the game balls flowing down the right region H1 (R) are won with a longer open time than in the non-variable state. It has become possible.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 19, especially in the case of the variable state from the variable state, the normal game is continuously played. The release by “6 seconds” is performed at “0.65 seconds” intervals based on the sum of the fluctuation time of the usual game and the interval time after the opening and closing. For this reason, in the case of a variable state after the end of the big hit game based on the big hit a to f, the second big prize winning opening 22 after the second round of the previous big hit game is made close to the appearance and resemble. 2. Opening of the start winning opening 15 by “6 seconds” is performed. Also, in the case of a short-and-short game after the big hit game based on the big hits a to f, the normal game is played continuously. The second start winning opening 15 is opened so as to be close to the appearance of the opening interval of the second large winning opening 22.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened, the second operation for guiding the game ball to enter the second big winning opening 22 with the same operation as the operation for guiding the game ball to the second big winning opening 22. The opening of the 2-start winning opening 15 is performed with a higher probability than the big hit. Also, especially in situations where the second big prize opening 22 can be opened, such as from the changing state to the changing state, the normal game variation time is set to be equal to or less than the big winning opening interval time. Thus, the opening of the second starting prize opening 15 is realized at a timing similar to the timing of opening the second big prize opening 22 during the big hit game in which the second big prize opening 22 is opened. As a result, after the big hit game in which the second big prize opening 22 is opened, the second big prize opening 22 is opened and expressed as if the opening continues.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in a right-handed game, the flow of the game ball can be entered into any of the second big prize opening 22 and the second start prize opening 15 regardless of whether the game ball is launched. Since the road is formed, the game ball can be entered in the second start winning opening 15 without any change in the game method after the end of the big hit game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened. .

  In the present embodiment, in the case of the big hit game from the variable state, since the ending time is not set, the next second start winning opening 15 and the second big winning opening 22 are opened after the big hit game ends. The period until the time is shortened, and the opening of the second big prize opening 22 can be effectively shown as if the opening continues.

  In addition, the payout operation performs normal control before starting the big hit game, while performing delay control after starting the big hit game. For this reason, in the middle of a big hit game based on the big hits a, b, d, e where the number of round games in which a winning ball can be substantially acquired is 10 or 15, the number of unpaid balls due to the payout of the winning ball Since the increase in the number of unpaid balls due to winning in the second grand prize opening 22 is larger than the decrease in the number of balls, the number of unpaid balls can reach “1000 balls” or more. As a result, the display content of the remaining winning ball number display device 25 is [000] displayed at the start of the jackpot game shown in FIG. 18, and [FFF] is displayed from the middle of the jackpot game shown in FIG. Thus, the big hit game is ended with the display content of [FFF].

  For this reason, in the case of a big hit game from the variable state and a big hit based on the big hits a, b, d, e, the big hit game ends with the display content of the remaining number display device 25 displayed as [FFF] Then, in the subsequent variable state, the award ball is continuously paid out even if there is no winning in the second big winning opening 22 after the opening of the last second big winning opening 22 is finished. Is created.

  As a result, even after the end of the big hit game in which the second big prize opening 22 is opened, even if there is an interval until the second big prize opening 22 is opened again, the payout of the game ball whose payout is delayed is made. With the opening of the second start winning opening 15, the opening of the second big winning opening 22 can be seen as if the opening continues. Further, in such a case, since the game balls that have been paid out are delayed even if the game balls win the second start winning opening 15, the number of winning balls for winning the second start winning opening 15 is also included. It is difficult for the player to grasp that it is “one ball” (not to grasp).

  In the present embodiment, since the ending time is not set in the case of the jackpot game from the variable speed state, the second big prize port is opened after the opening of the last second big prize port 22 in the jackpot game. Even if there is no winning at 22, it is possible to secure a longer situation in which the payout of the prize ball is continuously performed.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, the second start winning opening 15 is repeatedly opened in the variable state after the end of the big hit game from the variable state, and the previous big hit is matched with such opening. Awarded balls are paid out for delay-controlled games. As a result, during such a period, the big hit game from the variable state is started, so that the player can be shown to the player as if the multiple hits are continuous.

  Further, particularly in the variable state from the variable state, since the second starting winning port 15 is opened, the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning port 15 is effected from one to the next. One ball is paid out each time the second start winning opening 15 is won. However, as long as the display content of the winning ball remaining number display device 25 is maintained as the display content of [FFF], no matter how much game balls win the second starting winning opening 15, the second starting This makes it difficult for the player to grasp (not to grasp) the increase in the number of unpaid balls for winning in the winning opening 15. This makes it difficult for the player to grasp (not to grasp) that the number of winning balls for winning in the second start winning opening 15 is “1 ball”.

  Note that, in the variable state after the end of the big hit game from the variable state, the small hit g may be won based on the second variable game. Depending on the winning of such a small hit g, the second big winning opening 22 is opened, so even if the second big winning opening 22 is not opened based on the big hit, the second big winning opening 22 is opened based on the small hit. The two major winning holes 22 are opened, and a winning ball can be obtained by winning a game ball. For this reason, in the variable state where the subject of paying out the winning ball is winning the second start winning opening 15, in addition to the second starting winning opening 15, a chance to open the second big winning opening 22 although not a big hit, That is, it is possible to create a chance that the number of game balls can be increased even if the number of prize balls for winning at the second start prize opening 15 is set to one.

  In the examples of FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the jackpot game from the non-variable state is exemplified as a jackpot based on the first variable game, but there may be a jackpot based on the second variable game. In this case, the game flows as shown in FIGS.

  Further, in the examples of FIGS. 18 and 19, the jackpot game from the variable state is exemplified as a jackpot based on the second variation game, but there may be a jackpot based on the first variation game. In this case, the points shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are different in that the big winning opening in the big hit is the first big winning opening and the opening is performed corresponding to each big win.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the big hit determination is affirmative, when the grant period is long (in this embodiment, “100 times” or “next time”) with respect to the length of the variable state, when the grant period is short (in this embodiment, The presentation time (in this embodiment, the ending time) that is shorter than the “unchangeable state“ 0 times ”) is determined. Thereby, since the provision period of the variable state is long, the time efficiency can be improved even if it is a situation where big hits are likely to continue during the provision of the variable state. And, regarding the big hit based on the second start winning opening 15 such that the ease of entering the game ball changes in relation to the changing state, the big hit based on the first start winning opening 14 is changed regardless of the situation. It was set as the structure which determines the production time short compared with when the provision period is short regarding the length of the provision period to which a state is provided. As a result, it is possible to continue the situation in which the short production time can be determined from when the variable state is being applied to when the non-variable state can be applied. As a result, it is possible to meet a player's desire that can change according to the situation.

  (2) When the big hit determination is affirmative, because the variable state is being given, when the variable state can be given across the big hit game, the performance time (this is shorter than when the non-variable state is given) In the embodiment, the opening time is determined. Thereby, since the variable state is continuously given, the time efficiency can be improved even if it is a situation where big hits can continue. With regard to the big hit based on the second start winning opening 15 that changes the ease of entering the game ball in relation to the variable speed state, the first start winning hole 14 in the non-changed state regardless of the situation. The presentation time (in this embodiment, “0 second”) is determined to be shorter than the big hit based on. As a result, it is possible to create a situation in which the short production time can be determined through the big hit game while the non-variable state is being given. As a result, it is possible to meet a player's desire that can change according to the situation.

  (3) While the stage time (in this embodiment, the ending time and the opening time) is set during the big hit game, the big prize opening is not opened. It can be said that there is no winning prize in the mouth. For this reason, if the situation is such that the big hits can continue, the above-mentioned production time is not set, that is, “0 seconds”, so that the situation where there is no winning in the big winning opening even if the game ball is fired is omitted. , Time efficiency can be improved.

  In addition, if the situation is such that the big hits that transition through the big hit game from the variable state can continue, the ending time and the opening time are not set, that is, by setting it to “0”, the time efficiency is further improved. Can be made.

  In addition, since the state of change after the big hit becomes the changed state, the opening time is set while the ending time is not set, that is, “0” in the situation where the big hit can be continued by passing through the big hit game. The time efficiency can be improved with respect to the ending time.

  (4) When the big hit is not made continuously, the second start winning opening 15 is opened for guiding the game ball to the winning opening in the same operation as the operation of guiding the gaming ball to the big winning opening between a plurality of big hits. Can be done. That is, regarding the opening of the second start winning opening 15, by making it possible to derive the result to be opened with a higher probability than a big hit, even if the winning ball is not continuously a big hit, the game ball is put into the big winning opening. The opening of the second start winning opening 15 with the same operation as the guiding operation can be realized with high probability. Also, regarding the opening of the second start winning opening 15, the fluctuation time of the usual game can be set to be equal to or less than the opening interval time, so that the timing similar to the timing of opening the big winning opening during the big hit game is set. 2 Opening of the winning prize opening 15 can be realized. As a result, even if there is an interval between the opening of the big winning opening for a single hit and the opening of the large winning opening again, the opening of the second starting winning hole 15 will open the big winning opening. You can make it appear as if the opening continues, and the jackpots are continuous.

  (5) The second grand prize winning port 22 and the second starting prize winning port 15 are provided on the same flow path, and the second starting prize winning port 15 is provided upstream of the second major prize winning port 22. Further, the opening time for opening the second start winning opening 15 is set to be less than each opening time of the big winning opening based on the big hit game (in this embodiment, substantially less than the opening mode capable of acquiring the winning ball). It was made to be. As a result, even if the second start winning opening 15 and the second starting winning opening 15 are provided on the same flow path and the second starting winning opening 15 is provided upstream of the second large winning opening 22, It can be suppressed that the opening prevents the game ball from being guided to the second grand prize winning port 22. On the other hand, when the opening of the second grand prize winning port 22 and the second starting prize winning port 15 overlap, the second starting prize winning port 15 is provided upstream of the second big prize winning port 22, and thus the second starting prize winning port. While the game ball is guided to 15, the game ball that has not been guided to the second start winning port 15 can be further guided to the second large winning port 22.

  (6) The game board 10 is formed with a flow path for the game ball so that the player can enter any of the second big prize opening 22 and the second start prize opening 15 regardless of whether the game ball is fired. The configuration is as follows. As a result, if the game ball continues to be fired as it is after the end of the big hit game where the right-handed game is performed, the game ball can enter the second start winning opening 15. As a result, it is not necessary for the player to change the game method after the second big winning opening 22 is opened as a big hit. Can look like

  (7) In the short / short state (in this embodiment, in particular, the short / short state after the end of the big hit game based on the second variation game), a single big winning opening (especially the second big winning port 22) as a big hit. Even if there is an interval before the opening of the grand prize opening is performed again after the opening of the game, the entry to the second starting prize opening 15 is efficiently performed instead of entering the grand prize opening. It will be a situation that can be broken. For this reason, regarding the big hit game from the shortage state and the big hit game to which the shortage state is given after the end, the big hit game will be terminated after the final opening of the big prize opening based on the big hit game. The next variable game can be executed without setting the ending time for notification. As a result, it is possible to shorten the period until the opening of the next second winning prize opening 15 or the big prize opening, and it is possible to effectively show the opening of the big prize opening as if it continues. it can.

  (8) For the variable state instead of the non-variable state, the variation time of the usual game is set to be equal to or less than the open interval time. In other words, as a scene that makes it look as if the opening of the big prize opening continues effectively, the effect of opening the big winning opening is more prominent by controlling the variable state. Can be demonstrated.

  (9) During the big hit game, the non-variable state is given. For this reason, in the lottery per regular drawing after the first opening of the big winning opening where the big hit game has started is started, it becomes difficult for the second starting winning opening 15 to be opened. Further, during the big hit game (in this embodiment, in particular, the big hit a to f), the first opening of the big winning opening (in particular, the second big winning opening 22 in this embodiment) is started based on the big hit game. In some cases, the second start winning opening 15 may be opened. Even in such a case, by making it possible to control the opening of the second start winning opening 15 to end before the end of the first opening of the big winning opening, the opening of the second starting winning opening 15 is It is possible to prevent the game ball from being hindered from being guided to the big winning opening after the second winning opening.

  (10) In a non-variable state in which the rate of entering the second start winning opening 15 is not improved, the game ball is not directed to the gate 19 by firing the game ball aiming at the first starting winning opening 14, but to some extent It becomes the situation of the game that can secure the entrance rate of. On the other hand, in the variable speed state in which the rate of entering the second start winning opening 15 is improved as compared to the non-variable short condition, the game ball is released to the gate 19 by firing the game ball aiming at the second start winning opening 15. A game situation is reached in which it is possible to efficiently secure a ball entering the second start winning opening 15. In this way, it is possible to suppress the game from becoming monotonous by changing the game method according to the game situation.

  (11) In the case where a big hit is made continuously by enabling the fluctuation time of the variable game to be set to be equal to or less than the opening interval time after the big hit game in which the second big prize winning opening 22 from the variable state is opened. It becomes possible to make it appear as if the opening of the second big prize opening 22 continues following the opening of the second big prize opening 22 based on the most recent big hit game.

  (12) By configuring the payout time required from the establishment of the payout condition to the completion of payout of the game ball so that it can be delayed from the normal time, it will continue after the end of the final opening of the big winning opening based on the big hit game It becomes possible to create a situation where game balls are paid out. In such a situation, the second start winning opening 15 that leads the game ball to the entrance may be opened in the same operation as the operation of guiding the game ball to the prize winning entrance, and even at the time of such opening. It is also accompanied by payout of game balls whose payout is delayed. As a result, the game is started with a payout of a game ball that has been delayed even if there is an interval between the opening of the big winning opening for a big hit and the opening of the big winning opening again. With the opening of the prize opening, it can be shown as if the special prize opening is continuing, and it can be shown as if multiple wins continue.

  (13) As a scene in which the payout time required from the establishment of the payout condition to the completion of payout of the game ball is delayed than usual, control is performed for a big hit game (during a small hit game) where the big winning opening can be opened. As a result, it is possible to make the effect as if the opening of the special winning opening continues even more remarkably.

  In addition, in such a scene that does not require the effect as if the opening of the big prize opening continues, delay control can cause confusion of the player. Therefore, the confusion of the player is suppressed by not executing the delay control for a scene that is not in the big hit game (during the small hit game) in which the big winning opening cannot be opened.

  (14) After the final opening of the big winning opening based on the big hit game, the next symbol variation game can be executed without setting the ending time for notifying that the big hit game is ended, During the game, the payout time can be delayed more than usual. As a result of this, it is possible to secure a longer period with payout of game balls in which payout is delayed until the big prize opening is opened again after the big prize opening for one big hit is made It is possible to make it look as if the multiple hits are continuous.

  (15) With regard to opening the second start winning opening 15, it is possible to appear with a higher probability than a big hit. Further, regarding the opening of the second start winning opening 15, the opening can be made similar to the timing of opening the big winning opening during the big hit game. In addition, the payout time can be delayed more than usual. That is, due to these synergistic effects, the second start winning opening 15 is opened even if there is an interval after the opening of the big winning opening for one big hit, and the opening of the large winning opening again. Thus, it is possible to make it look as if the winning prize opening has been continued, and it can be effectively shown as if a plurality of hits continue.

  (16) After the end of the big hit game (in this embodiment, especially when the big hit game is in a variable state), the shortest variation time is based on the second reserved memory number for “four times” at the maximum. Then, control is performed so that the second variation game is performed, and a special ending effect is performed with the effect content connected between these games. This allows the player to be notified of the end of the jackpot game regardless of the length of time from the end of the last opening of the big prize opening to the next variable game based on the jackpot game. If the length is adjusted to be short, the period until the next big hit can be shortened. In addition, for the second floating game with a special ending effect, the shortest variation time contributes to the suppression of the extension of multiple jackpots. It is possible to suppress the extension between the two.

  (17) After the end of the jackpot game (in the present embodiment, particularly when the jackpot game is in a variable state), the actual number of the second reserved memory is less than “4”. The variation time of the second variation game is adjusted to the variation time by the second variation game that is performed in the shortest variation time based on the second retention memory number corresponding to “four times”. Thus, after the big hit game is finished, even when the second reserved memory number is less than “4”, the special ending effect is performed in the same manner as when the second reserved memory number is “4”. That is, since the second reserved memory number is less than “4” after the big hit game ends, it is possible to eliminate the uncomfortable feeling that the special ending effect is interrupted or resumed from the middle.

  In addition, as a result of performing the special ending effect performed in the second variable game corresponding to “four times” of the second reserved memory number in the second variable game less than “four times”, at least one change in the second variable game The time can be longer than the shortest variation time. As described above, by increasing the variation time of at least one second variation game, it is possible to contribute to acquisition of the start condition for the second variation game.

  (18) Based on the assumption that a special ending effect will be performed, after the final opening of the grand prize winning opening based on the big hit game, a state in which the next variable game can be executed without setting the ending time for performing the ending is set. It becomes possible to occur. In other words, as a result of omitting the period from the end of the last opening of the big winning opening based on the jackpot game until the next variable game is played, the period until the next jackpot can be shortened. Become. The player is notified of the end of the big hit game while aiming at such shortening. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the extension between a plurality of jackpots while making it easy to understand the end of the jackpot game.

  (19) In the case where the notification of the on-hold bonus is not performed based on the CPU 31a for effect control, it is related to the length of the period from the end of the last opening of the big winning opening until the next variable game is performed based on the jackpot game If the end of the jackpot game can be notified to the player and the period length is adjusted to be short, the period until the next jackpot can be shortened. On the other hand, when notification of the pending hit is performed based on the CPU 31a for effect control, the period until the next big hit is apparently connected to the next big hit game without going through the fluctuating game. Can be shortened. In addition, for the second floating game with special ending effects, the result is that it is performed with the shortest variation time regardless of whether or not the notification of the pending hit is made. It is possible to suppress the extension between the two.

  (20) In the case of notifying the on-hold hit, a special ending effect different from the case where no on-hold hit notification is performed is configured. Thereby, after the big hit game is completed, the player can easily grasp the possibility of the hit in the hold, so that it is possible to realize an effect that is easy for the player to understand.

  (21) The special ending effect is configured so as to notify that the jackpot game is further continued. As a result, since a plurality of big hits are expressed as if they were one big hit, it is possible to shorten the period until the next big hit.

  (22) Regarding the opening of the second grand prize opening 22, the first opening time is set to be longer than at least the next opening. Thereby, with respect to the first opening of the second big prize opening 22 in the big hit game, the opening of the second starting prize opening 15 is overlapped with the opening timing of the first opening prize opening 15 and the second starting prize opening 15. The hindrance of guiding the game ball to the two major winning openings 22 is suppressed as compared to the opening after the first opening. Further, by providing a non-variable short state during the big hit game, even if the second start winning opening 15 is opened at the time of opening after the first opening of the second big winning opening 22 in the big hit game, Increases the possibility of shortening the opening time. As a result, it is possible to shorten the opening time after the first opening of the second big winning opening 22 in the jackpot game, and shorten the digestion time of the jackpot game. As a result, it is possible to suppress the opening of the second start winning opening 15 from obstructing the second large winning opening 22 while shortening the digestion time of the big hit game.

  (23) The opening time of the first opening of the second big prize opening 22 in the jackpot game is the time that can be performed as the variation time of the usual game that can be performed (in this embodiment, especially the variation time in the variable state). 2 It is set to be longer than the sum of the opening time of the start winning opening 15 (in this embodiment, particularly the opening time in the variable state). As a result, for the big hit game, the end of the opening of the second start winning opening 15 is ended regardless of how the first opening of the second big winning opening 22 and the opening timing of the second starting winning opening 15 overlap. You will be able to arrive during the opening of. That is, in any case, the first opening of the second grand prize opening 22 can create a scene that does not overlap with the opening of the second starting prize opening 15, and the opening after the first opening is not The opening of the second start winning opening 15 can be prevented from overlapping. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the opening of the second start winning opening 15 from obstructing the second large winning opening 22.

  (24) The premise of setting the opening time of the first opening of the second big winning opening 22 in the jackpot game to be longer than the sum of the changing time of the normal symbol variation game that can be performed and the opening time of the starting winning opening that can be performed Then, it is possible to set an opening time shorter than the opening time of the start winning opening that can be performed. Thereby, shortening of the opening time can be realized, and the digestion time of the big hit game can be shortened.

  Further, based on the above assumption, the opening time can be set shorter than the fluctuation time of the usual game. As a result, it is possible to shorten the effect time for notifying that the winning game is started, and to shorten the time required for winning the winning game.

  Also, based on the above assumption, a configuration in which the opening time is not set, that is, “0” can be realized. As a result, the opening time can be further shortened, and the digestion time of the big hit game can be effectively shortened.

  (25) In the non-changing state, the probability per ordinary figure is lower than that in the changing state, and the variation time of the ordinary figure game is longer than that in the changing state. In other words, during the jackpot game, a configuration in which a non-variable short state is given is provided so that the second start prize opening 15 is opened at the time of opening after the first opening of the second big prize opening 22 in the jackpot game. It is effectively reduced. As a result, it is possible to shorten the opening time after the first opening of the second big winning opening 22 in the jackpot game, and shorten the digestion time of the jackpot game. As a result, it is possible to suppress the opening of the second start winning opening 15 from obstructing the second large winning opening 22 while shortening the digestion time of the big hit game.

  (26) The opening time of the first opening of the second big prize opening 22 in the jackpot game is set longer than the subsequent opening. That is, as the opening to prevent the opening of the second start winning opening 15 from obstructing the second big winning opening 22, only the first opening of the second big winning opening 22 in the jackpot game is set, With respect to other releases, it is possible to set so as to shorten the digestion time of the big hit game. Thereby, it becomes possible to effectively shorten the opening time after the first opening of the second big winning opening 22 in the jackpot game, and effectively reduce the digestion time of the jackpot game. Can do.

  (27) Based on the establishment of the payout condition based on the detection of the game ball entering the second start winning opening 15, the same number as the number entered into the second start winning opening 15 (in this embodiment, the game ball 1) A configuration is adopted in which a gaming ball of one gaming ball is paid out as a prize ball for the detection of the incoming ball. As a result, the increase in the number of prize balls to be paid out with the increase in the rate of entry of game balls into the second start winning opening 15 due to the provision of the variable state can be kept to a maximum. That is, as a result of the change of state being given, the entrance rate of game balls to the second start winning opening 15 can be effectively increased while suppressing an increase in the number of prize balls to be paid out. It is possible to suppress making the player uncomfortable during the provision of the variable state.

  (28) In the variable speed state, it is easier to derive the result of opening the second start prize opening 15 than in the non-variable state, the fluctuation time of the usual game is short, and the total opening of the second start prize opening 15 is released. The time is long. As a result, in the variable speed state, the opening time of the second start prize port 15 per unit time is increased based on the second start prize port 15 as compared with the non-variable state, and as a result, the second start prize port is increased. It becomes easier for a game ball to enter 15 and the entrance rate increases. And even if the entrance rate of the game balls to the second start winning opening 15 per unit time is raised extremely high in this way, the increase in the number of prize balls to be paid out with the rise should be kept to the maximum. Can do.

  (29) Since the change in the rate of entry is not expected even in the shortened state, with respect to the first start winning opening 14 that cannot be the cause of the increase of the payout balls to be paid out, the game ball to the second starting winning opening 15 A plurality of game balls (in this embodiment, three game balls for detection of one game ball) are paid out as winning balls for detection of one ball. As described above, the first start winning opening 14 is not expected to increase the winning rate even when the shortened state is given, but it guarantees a certain amount of winning balls, so that the player becomes uncomfortable even in the non-changed state. Can be suppressed.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
-In this embodiment, arrangement | positioning of each start winning opening 14,15 may be changed, for example, these may be provided on the same flow path, and may be provided side by side vertically or horizontally. With such a change in arrangement, the position of the gate 19 can also be changed. In addition, although the structure provided in the same flow path as the 2nd start winning prize opening 15 is preferable regarding the gate 19, it can also implement | achieve and provide in a different flow path. Further, by providing the gate 19 on the downstream side of the second start winning opening 15, the entrance rate to the second starting winning opening 15 in the variable speed state is intentionally reduced. You can also.

  In the present embodiment, an opening / closing mechanism may be provided at the first start winning opening 14. Further, the start winning holes 14 and 15 can be made the same with respect to the start switch while the entrance holes are different. That is, instead of a pachinko gaming machine that uses two special figures, the invention may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine that draws a big hit mode using one special figure.

  -In this embodiment, when opening the big winning opening in the big hit game while the 2nd start winning opening 15 is open | released, you may implement | achieve by hardware control. For example, as hardware control, the opening of the second start winning opening 15 may be forcibly terminated in accordance with the output of the opening command or the first round command. As hardware control, the opening time is forcibly set until the opening of the second start winning opening 15 is ended, and the round command is output after the opening of the second starting winning opening 15 is delayed. Thus, the start of opening the first big winning opening in the big hit game may be delayed. In addition, as a hardware control, the extra winning opening may be opened (extended) by adding the overlapped opening.

  -In this embodiment, if the winning probability of the lottery per common figure can be set higher than the winning probability of the big hit, the winning probability of the lottery per non-variable state in the non-variable short state can be set in the non-probable or probable state of the big win It may be higher than the winning probability. Moreover, as long as the fluctuation time of the usual game can be set to the opening interval time or less, the usual game in the variable state may be longer than the opening interval time. In addition, the fluctuation time of the usual game is set to the same time as the shortest fluctuation time “0.52 seconds” in the fluctuation game, but may be set shorter or longer. In addition, the opening time of the open / close door 16 in the fluctuating state can be changed as long as it is set to be open and the time when the game ball can be won, and the opening time of the second big winning opening 22 ( In particular, it can be close to “8 seconds”). On the other hand, with respect to the opening time (especially “8 seconds”) of the second big winning opening 22, the opening time of the second start winning opening 15 (especially “6 seconds”) can be made closer.

  In this embodiment, if the rate of game balls entering the second start winning opening 15 in the variable state is higher than that in the non-variable state, the normal game specification and the door specification are changed. Also good. For example, in the variable state, it is sufficient to have one of the functions of increasing the winning probability of lottery per normal drawing, shortening the normal game, and extending the opening time of the door 16. In the variable state, the variable game (special figure) may not have a function for reducing the variable time. For example, in the variable state, it may be realized by increasing the winning probability of the lottery per ordinary figure and shortening the usual figure game.

  In the present embodiment, the production time (opening time or ending time) can be set regardless of the situation. Further, the production time may be changed as long as the opening time is set longer than or equal to the ending time. Further, it is only necessary that the production time can be changed according to the situation between the same big hit games, and different production times may be set between different big hit games according to the respective big hit games.

In the present embodiment, when the opening time is not set, an effect in place of the opening effect may be performed at the end of the symbol variation game with the previous decoration.
In the present embodiment, it may be possible to control to the variable state during the big hit game or the small hit game.

  -In this embodiment, it is also possible not to have a variable time shortening function. That is, the present invention can be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine in which the opening / closing door 16 can be expected to be opened to some extent regardless of whether or not it is in a variable state.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the positional relationship of the 2nd start winning opening 15 and the 2nd big winning opening 22, for example, these are provided on a different flow path, or one is left-handed and right-handed. A game ball can be entered only in one of the games, but a game ball can be entered in either the left-handed game or the right-handed game for the other. Further, for example, the second start winning opening 15 and the second big winning opening 22 can be provided side by side, or the second big winning opening 22 can be provided on the upstream side.

  -In this embodiment, regarding the second start winning opening 15 and the second large winning opening 22, it is sufficient that at least the operation for guiding the entering of the game ball is configured to be the same operation, and the opening and closing of these entrances is performed. It can also be realized by a blade type that rotates in the left-right direction. Further, regarding the second start winning opening 15 and the second big winning opening 22, the shapes may be slightly different or the sizes may be different, but the shapes may be aligned to the size.

  In the present embodiment, the shortest variation time in the variation game can be set longer than the open interval time. In this case, the above-described effects can be achieved by setting the fluctuation time of the usual game to be shorter than the shortest fluctuation time in the fluctuation game or to be equal to or less than the release interval time.

  -In this embodiment, delay control of payout operation | movement can also be comprised so that it may perform regularly or irregularly irrespective of a gaming state. In addition, such delay control is performed according to normal control or delay control for each winning opening or the type of jackpot (whether the jackpot is based on Special Figure 1 or the jackpot based on Special Figure 2). You may make it decide whether to do. For example, the payout of the winning ball for the winning of the big winning opening may be delayed regardless of the state, while the payout of the winning ball for the winning of another winning opening may be controlled in the normal state regardless of the state. .

  -In this embodiment, as a structure which implement | achieves the delay of payout operation | movement, you may make it implement | achieve by delaying the output timing of the payout signal which CPU30a for main control outputs. For example, the main control CPU 30a may output a payout signal for a winning ball for winning a prize winning slot later than a winning ball payout signal for a winning ball winning game, or during a big hit game Alternatively, the prize ball payout signal may be output with a delay during the small hit game. In this example, the display content of the remaining prize ball display device 25 can be changed to [FFF] by the main control CPU 30a managing the remaining prize ball display device 25 in association with the payout signal.

  -In the present embodiment, as a configuration for realizing the delay of the payout operation, a plurality of passages are provided on the back side of the machine as a passage for guiding the game balls to be paid out, and until the game balls are paid out depending on which passage it passes through By varying the payout time, the payout operation can be delayed.

  In this embodiment, a game ball passage restriction member controlled by the payout control CPU 32a or the like is provided in the middle of a path for guiding the game ball to be paid out, thereby delaying the payout operation by hardware control and mechanical configuration. Can also be realized.

  -In this embodiment, when the payout operation is extended by "0.5 seconds" by the delay control of the payout operation, it may be extended in units of a plurality of balls so as to be extended when a plurality of balls are paid out, such as 5 balls or 10 balls. it can.

  In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls is “one ball” by configuring the display limit of the prize ball remaining number display device 25 to two digits or by lowering it to 200 balls, 300 balls, or the like. The effect of making it difficult for the player to grasp can also be exhibited more effectively.

  In the present embodiment, a prize ball notification unit (for example, a lamp provided on the front frame of a pachinko gaming machine) that notifies that fact every time a game ball is paid out may be provided. You may alert | report the condition of the number of unpaid balls by the alerting | reporting aspect of a part. For example, if the number of unpaid balls is less than 1000, notification is made in the normal mode (blinking if the lamp is used) every time the game balls are paid out, while if the number of unpaid balls is 1000 or more, the time until the ball is less than 1000 By notifying in a special manner (maintaining lighting if the lamp is used), an effect of making it difficult for the player to grasp that the number of prize balls is “1 ball” can be achieved. Such an effect can be more effectively exhibited by lowering the number of unpaid balls as a trigger for switching the notification mode, such as 200 balls or 300 balls.

  In the present embodiment, with regard to the special ending effect, an ending time may be set for the jackpot game and then the jackpot game and the variable game may be straddled. That is, the special ending effect can be executed even in a scene where the ending time is set.

-In this embodiment, regarding a special ending effect, you may make it perform special ending based on the sum total of each holding | maintenance memory | storage number at the time of completion | finish of a jackpot game.
In the present embodiment, in the variable state “present (special)”, regardless of the second reserved memory number at the end of the big hit game, the variable pattern HP97 (“ Only 0.52 seconds ") may be defined to be selectable. In this case, a special ending effect corresponding to the reserved second variable game may be performed by providing an effect that can be executed in the second variable game whose execution is reserved. . On the other hand, in this case, the special ending effect may be performed only in the second variation game, or may be performed continuously even when the first variation game is performed. Also, in this case, even if the variation game is interrupted, between the immediately preceding variation game and the subsequent variation game, between the multiple variation games while comprising the production content that does not feel uncomfortable even if it is interrupted What is necessary is just to comprise so that it may become the connected content. Such an idea may be applied to a special ending effect.

  In this embodiment, as an adjustment configuration for performing the special ending effect, the execution time is suspended at the end of the big hit game after equally dividing the variation time in each second variation game in consideration of the variation interval time. You may adjust so that it may become the same time until the completion | finish of the 2nd fluctuation | variation game which is running. In this case, it suffices to provide a variation pattern in which the variation time equally divided in this way is provided, and to specify that the corresponding variation pattern can be selected according to the situation.

In the present embodiment, the period of the special ending effect can be determined while adding a variable interval time to the end of the “four times” second variable game.
-In the special ending effect of this embodiment, you may make it perform the effect (what is called a "gase effect") which suggests that the big hit in a holding | maintenance may exist. In this case, such “gase effect” effect data may be prepared, and it may be configured to determine whether or not to perform “gase effect” by lottery or the like.

  -In the present embodiment, the special ending effect is not an effect that is not continued until the big hit game is finished, but a part of the special ending effect and its color or background are changed. It can also be realized by production.

  -In the present embodiment, in the special ending effect, after performing the same content effect as the special ending effect partway through, it is possible to perform a certain effect to notify the big hit in the variable game that is the target of the big hit in the hold It can also be determined by lottery whether to perform a special ending effect or a certain effect.

  In this embodiment, in the special ending production, by varying the content of the production according to the type of jackpot based on the pre-judgment command, notification of the type of jackpot and the degree of expectation of the profit that the player can acquire from now on It can also be used as a suggestion.

  In the present embodiment, whether or not there is a pending jackpot is determined according to the input of the ending command, but it is performed at the start of the jackpot game, that is, according to the input of the opening command. Also good. In this case, pre-determination based on winning of each starting winning opening during the big hit game is not considered. In addition, such a determination timing may be performed until a variable game after the end of the jackpot game is performed, such as a specific round game during the jackpot game, or an open interval after the input of the ending command It can be performed in time or after the end of the jackpot game, in accordance with the input of the first variation pattern designation command.

-In this embodiment, you may be able to alert | report also about the big hit E, the small hit I, and the small hit g as a content notified by special ending production.
In the present embodiment, the opening interval time does not have to be set after the last big winning opening in the big hit game or the small hit game is released.

  -In this embodiment, in the scene which does not set production time (opening time or ending time), ie, set it to "0 second", it can also be implement | achieved by the structure which shortens production time. In this case, depending on whether it is special figure 1 or special figure 2 or the type of jackpot, the reduction rate of the production time (if the reduction rate is 100%, it means “0 seconds”) is varied. You can also.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the setting aspect of production time (opening time or ending time), for example, the conditions for setting production time regardless of whether it is special figure 1 or special figure 2 It can also be determined identically. Also, depending on the type of big hit, the setting mode of the production time can be changed. For example, when the big hit E, small hit I or small hit g is won, the production time can be set regardless of the situation.

  -In this embodiment, regarding the setting mode of the production time (opening time or ending time), it is also possible to define a big hit game that makes the conditions shortened ("0 seconds") between the opening time and the ending time the same. it can. For example, if the winning is special figure 1 and the big hit time state is the non-changeable state, the opening time is not set when the big hit after the big hit state is the variable state. If the situation is such that the situation will be demoted from the Renso zone to the preparation zone, the opening time will be shortened ("0 seconds") and the ending time may be set at such an opportunity. May be.

  -In this embodiment, it can also be comprised so that the variation state of the number of times of addition different like "100 times", "50 times", "18 times", etc. can be provided according to a condition. In this case, the ending time can be shortened or the jackpot can be shortened as compared to the time of 50 times or 18 times, etc., when the shortage after the big hit is “100 times”. When the post-change state is “50 times”, the ending time may be shortened compared to “18 times”.

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot game may be defined as from the opening of the first big winning opening to the end of the opening of the last big winning opening. In this case, in the variable game based on the winning of the jackpot (the symbol changing game with decorations), the period from the final stop display of the jackpot symbol to the opening of the first big winning opening is the period during which the opening effect can be executed. The In this case, the period from the end of opening of the last big winning opening in the big hit game to the start of the next variable game is a period in which the ending effect can be executed.

  -In this embodiment, in the scene which does not set production time (opening time or ending time), ie, set it to "0 second", it can also be set as the structure which does not output an opening command or an ending command. That is, in the scene where the opening time is not set, the main control CPU 30a displays the symbol (special drawing and decoration drawing) in the immediately preceding variable game after the final stop display (after the symbol stop command is output), A command (round command or the like) instructing opening is output to the effect control CPU 31a. In addition, the main control CPU 30a, in a scene where the ending time is not set, after the opening of the last big winning opening ends, when the opening interval time elapses, on the condition that any of the stored memory numbers is present, A change pattern designation command for instructing start is output.

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit game in which the second grand prize winning opening 22 is opened, it is only necessary that the opening mode of the first round is defined to be opened longer than at least the second round. An open mode of “25 seconds” can also be defined at intervals of 5 rounds. For example, in the jackpot game based on the jackpots a and c, the opening mode of “25 seconds” is defined in the first round, the sixth round, and the eleventh round, while the opening mode of “8 seconds” is defined in the other rounds. In the big hit game based on the big hits b and d, the opening mode of “25 seconds” is defined in the first round and the sixth round, while the opening mode of “8 seconds” is determined in the other rounds. In the big hit game based on the big hits c and e, the opening mode of “25 seconds” is defined in the first round, and the opening mode of “8 seconds” is determined in the other rounds. Note that the opening mode of “8 seconds” can be changed to a shorter opening mode, or can be changed to an opening mode longer than “8 seconds” within a range shorter than “25 seconds”. That is, as long as all round games are played in the longest open mode among the round games constituting the big hit game, it is only necessary to shorten the time expected for digestion of the big hit game.

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened, the fluctuation time of the usual game in which the first round opening mode can be performed (0.52 seconds when assuming a variable state) And the opening time of the open / close door 16 (6 seconds or longer when assuming a variable state) may be defined to be longer than the sum.

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened, the fluctuation time of the usual game in which the first round opening mode can be performed (0.52 seconds when assuming a variable state) And the opening time of the open / close door 16 (6 seconds or longer when assuming a variable state) may be defined longer than the longer one.

  In the present embodiment, regarding the big hit game in which the first big winning opening 18 is opened (hit in the first variable game), there is a low possibility of being given in the variable state, but with the second start winning opening 15 The opening mode can also be adjusted so that the disadvantages when the opening timings overlap can be eliminated. For example, in the jackpot game based on jackpot A, the opening mode of the first round is defined as “25 seconds”, while the opening mode of the second to eleventh rounds is defined as “0.04 seconds”, while the 12th round The opening mode of the 15th to 15th rounds is defined as “25 seconds”.

  In the present embodiment, the number of winning balls for winning at the first start winning opening 14 may be changed, may be increased to “10 balls”, and “2” as in the second starting winning opening 15 It may be set to “one ball”.

  In the present embodiment, it is sufficient that game balls having the same number as the number of balls that have entered the second start winning opening 15 are to be paid out as a winning ball, and a determination period for determining the entering is set, The number of game balls having the same value as the number of game balls entered during the determination period may be paid out as a prize ball. For example, when the determination period is “1.5 seconds” and two game balls are detected during this period, two prize balls having the same value as the two balls entered are paid out. It will be.

In this embodiment, the opening time of the big winning opening in the small hit game can be set long so that the game ball can be easily entered.
In this embodiment, the small hitting symbol distribution random number is acquired. However, the small hitting symbol distribution random number may not be set. Further, although there are one type of small hit symbol, a plurality of types of small hit symbols may be set.

  In the present embodiment, it is sufficient that at least the second variation game can win a small hit. For example, if it is not possible to win a small hit in the first variation game, it can be realized by a specification that does not set a big hit E.

  -In this embodiment, it is possible to visually recognize that the winning mode (opening frequency and opening time) of the big winning opening in the small hit game based on the small hit I (small hit g) is the same as the big hit game based on the big hit E. It can also be set to a mode. For example, in the small hit game based on the small hit I (small hit g) and the big hit game based on the big hit E, it is possible to set various times such as the number of opening of the big prize opening, one opening time, and the opening interval time to the same time. . It should be noted that the small hit I, which plays the role of making it difficult to distinguish from the big hit E, and the small hit g, which plays the role of winning the prize ball, do not need to have the same opening mode between them, and different opening between them. Aspects may be defined for each.

  In the present embodiment, the type of jackpot can be changed. For example, for the big hits from the second variable game, all the prescribed round numbers can be set to “15R”, while for the big hits from the first variable game, all the prescribed round numbers can be set to “5R”. Also, regarding the big hit of the first variation game, it is not necessary to set the opening of “0.04 seconds”. In addition, regarding the provision of the variable state, it may be changed to “18 times” instead of giving the “9 times” variable game to the upper limit, and can be increased, but less than “9 times” It can also be determined.

-This embodiment does not need to give priority to the 2nd variation game over the 1st variation game, and can also be realized by the specification that each variation game is performed in the order of winning to each start winning opening.
The present embodiment can also be realized with a specification that sets an upper limit (for example, 70 times) based on the number of executions of the variable game in the probability variation state.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 is a liquid crystal type, but it may be a dot matrix type or a 7 segment LED type display device, or a mechanical type display device such as a drum type.

In the present embodiment, the effect mode can be configured to be able to directly shift from the big hit in the normal mode MA or the special mode MB to the main extended mode ME.
The various effects (effect modes, etc.) in the present embodiment are not limited to those performed by the effect display device 11, and may be performed by speakers or lamps, or effect means dedicated to various effects (effect modes, etc.). May be provided separately.

  -In this embodiment, although it embodied in the pachinko gaming machine using a special figure and a decoration drawing, you may materialize in the pachinko gaming machine using only a special figure. In this case, the special figure can be a design for production.

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol stop symbol designation command may be a command indicating a symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display devices 12a and 12b in the variable game, or the type of jackpot can be specified. Any command may be used as long as it indicates the contents. The lottery and small lottery results and the types of big and small hits can be specified from the variation pattern. In this case, the variation pattern designation command may also indicate the lottery or small lottery result and the type of big or small hit.

  In the present embodiment, a sub-control board that comprehensively controls various effects can be newly provided between the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31. In the sub control board, a part of the process executed by the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) can be performed.

  -You may mount this embodiment in the 1 type, 2 types mixed pachinko game machine. The first type pachinko game machine is a pachinko game that will be a big hit when a change in the symbol starts when the game ball enters the start prize opening and the symbol combination of the predetermined symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state. Point to the machine. In addition, the second type pachinko gaming machine is, for example, that a special electric accessory is released when a game ball enters a start winning opening, and a game is played in a special area (so-called V zone) in the electric accessory. This refers to a pachinko machine that wins when the ball wins.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above-described embodiment and another example (modification) will be additionally described below.
