Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a game ball is driven into a game area to flow down.

  In a conventional pachinko machine, when a game ball wins a start winning opening or a tulip-type electric accessory, a “hit lottery” such as acquisition of a numerical value from a random number for determining a big hit or a random number for determining a variation time is performed along with the winning prize. At the same time, the symbol display on the symbol display unit starts, and if the numerical value obtained from the jackpot determination random number is the predetermined jackpot value, the symbol variation time corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the random time determination random number has elapsed Then, after the symbols are fixedly displayed in a predetermined jackpot fixed display mode, a big hit state in which a large number of game balls can be paid out as prize balls to the player is caused. In addition, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, after the special gaming state is finished, the probability of confirming the symbol in the jackpot confirmation display mode is improved and the high probability state in which the tulip-type electric accessory can be opened frequently. In the form of obtaining a numerical value from the random number for fall determination whether or not to end the high probability state each time a game ball wins a winning prize opening or tulip-type electric accessory Executed, the probability that the value obtained from the random number for fall determination was the predetermined fall value (winning the “falling lottery”), and the probability of starting the fluctuation of the symbol related to the winning winning the “falling lottery” A pachinko machine that ends the state has also been devised.

  In a pachinko machine as described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when a winning that is won in the “falling lottery” and a winning that satisfies a specific condition that is not won in the “falling lottery” occurs, In the display effect on the symbol display unit (between the start of symbol variation and the final display), a success / failure notification effect is executed that will inspire the player's interest regarding the success / failure of the “falling lottery”. The success / failure notification effect is a display effect having a relatively long time, and the success / failure of the “falling lottery” is displayed at the end of the display effect (immediately when the symbol is displayed).

JP 2003-169922 A

  However, when the “falling lottery” is won, the high-probability state has already ended during the success / failure notification production, so the operation mode of the tulip-type electric accessory has returned to the normal mode that is not frequently opened. . Therefore, in the conventional pachinko machine described above, the success or failure of the “falling lottery” is given to the player from the operation mode of the electric prize winning combination such as the tulip-type electric accessory before displaying the success or failure of the “falling lottery”. As a result, there is a problem that the effect of notifying the success / failure notification of the niece, which is intriguing the player's interest regarding the success / failure of the “falling lottery”, is lacking.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is difficult for a player to detect the success or failure of the `` falling lottery '' from the operation mode of the electric prize-winning item during the change display of the symbol, It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine with high gameability that allows a player to play without losing interest in display effects on the symbol display section.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is an electric winning combination in which a game ball is easily opened when a predetermined condition is established in a game area where the game ball can flow down. And a special display means that can display a plurality of symbols, and a special movable means including a movable member that opens and closes a special area through which a game ball can pass, and control that controls the operation related to the game A random number for determining the jackpot and the random number for determining the variation time when a winning of the game ball flowing down in the game area is detected in the electric winning combination. Each of the numerical values is acquired from the symbol display unit, and the symbol display unit starts the symbol variation, and then the symbols are sequentially stopped and displayed, and the variation is started and then corresponds to the numerical value obtained from the variation time determination random number. When the predetermined symbol variation time elapses, the symbol is fixedly displayed in a predetermined fixed display mode corresponding to the numerical value obtained from the jackpot determination random number, and the fixed display mode is a special fixed display mode, When the special game state in which the movable member of the special movable means is opened is generated, and the passage of the game ball through the special area is detected during the special game state, the predetermined condition is easily satisfied and / or the electric winning combination While a specific gaming state occurs in which the time in the open state of the object becomes longer, if a winning of the game ball to the electric winning combination is detected during the variation display of the symbol, information related to the winning is used as holding information A pachinko machine that stores in the storage means and sequentially digests the hold information every time the symbol is confirmed and displayed, wherein the control device wins an electric winning combination of a game ball When detected, a numerical value is acquired from the falling determination random number, and when the numerical value acquired in the specific gaming state is a predetermined falling numerical value, the specific gaming state is terminated along with the start of the variation of the symbol related to the winning. A notice means for notifying a player that special hold information satisfying a special condition has occurred in the specific gaming state, and a numerical value obtained from the fall determination random number related to the special hold information An appropriate / not-notification means for notifying the player whether or not the value is a fallen value is provided, and the control device, when the special hold information is generated, about the hold information digested before the special hold information The notice unit is activated between the start of the symbol change and the final display, and the first symbol after starting the symbol change for the special hold information. In this case, the success / failure notification means is operated until the temporary stop is displayed.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the control device is configured such that the numerical value acquired from the falling determination random number is the falling numerical value, and the confirmation display mode is the special confirmation. The condition that does not become a display mode, and the numerical value acquired from the falling determination random number is not the falling numerical value, and the fixed display mode does not become the special fixed display mode, and is further acquired from the variation time determining random number. It is determined that the special condition is satisfied when any one of the conditions that the symbol variation time corresponding to the numerical value is a specific variation time is satisfied.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the invention according to the first or second aspect, when the control device generates fixed hold information in which the fixed display mode is a special fixed display mode during the specific gaming state, The notice means is operated during the period from the start of the change of the symbol for the hold information that is digested before the fixed hold information to the fixed display.

Lamp members 15 and 15 each having a plurality of LEDs that are lit and blinking are provided.

  On the other hand, on the rear side of the machine casing 3, there are a storage tank 11 for storing game balls to be paid out as rental balls and prize balls to the supply tray 7, a payout device 12 connected to the storage tank 11, and a payout device 12. A payout control device 28 for controlling the payout operation, a power supply device 29 for supplying a power supply voltage to each control board, device, and member are installed. Reference numeral 21 denotes a center cover formed in the shape of a cover made of synthetic resin. The center cover 21 has a main cover for executing the main control relating to the game (for example, so-called “hit lottery”). The main control device 30 (shown in FIG. 4), the display control device 50 (shown in FIG. 4) that controls the display operation and the like in the symbol display section 6, and the light emission control device 51 (which controls the lighting / flashing operation and the like of the lamp member 15) 4), a sound control device 52 (shown in FIG. 4) that controls the sounding operation from the speaker 14, and a sub-control device 40 that integrally controls the operations of the display control device 50, the sound control device 52, and the like. (Shown in FIG. 4) and the like are installed. In addition, 22 is a plug for connecting the pachinko machine 1 to a transformer, and 27 is a ground.

Next, the control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1.
The main control device 30 incorporates a main control board 31 on which a main CPU 32 for controlling the operation of the following members as well as execution of “big hit lottery”, a storage means 33 such as ROM and RAM, a timer 34, an interface 35 and the like are mounted. Has been. The main control board 31 is connected to the start winning port 19, the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the big winning device 18, the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, the gate member 20, and the like through the interface 35. Yes. The main control board 31 is also electrically connected to a sub-integrated board 41 built in the sub-control device 40.

  In the storage means 33, an a1 counter used for “open lottery” for determining whether or not to open the wing piece of the tulip-type electric accessory 17, a c1 counter (random number for jackpot determination) used for so-called “big hit lottery”, A d1 counter (variation time determining random number) for determining a basic variation pattern (design variation pattern) that is mainly a variation time of special symbols and decorative symbols, and an e1 counter (random number for falling determination) used for “falling lottery” described later. ) Etc. are built-in. Each counter is a loop counter that counts a loop while adding one by one within a very short time (for example, 1 interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on. The acquisition of numerical values used can be regarded as acquisition of numerical values from random numbers. The a1 counter is between 0 and 10 (11 ways), the c1 counter is between 0 and 700 (701 ways), the d1 counter is between 0 and 30 (31 ways), and the e1 counter is between 0 and 200. The loop count is made between (201 ways). Then, the main CPU 32 obtains one numerical value from the a1 counter triggered by the detection of the passage of the gate ball 20 of the game ball, and triggered by the detection of the winning of the game ball at the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 , C1 counter, d1 counter, and e1 counter each obtain one numerical value (so-called “big hit lottery” is executed).

  The storage means 33 stores a special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit and a basic variation pattern determination table that associates the numerical value of the d1 counter with the basic variation pattern as shown in FIGS. Yes. This basic variation pattern mainly defines the variation time (time from the variation start to the final display) of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. Further, in the storage means 33, for example, when a game ball wins the start winning port 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 while the special symbol is variably displayed in the special symbol display section, the c1 counter associated with the winning, A hold information storage area is provided for storing up to four each in a state in which the start winning opening 19 and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 are distinguished from each other by using the numerical values obtained from the d1 counter and the e1 counter as hold information. Note that the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area is notified to the player by a hold display displayed on the symbol display unit 6 under the control of the sub-integrated board 41 as will be described later. Further, the hold information is sequentially digested in the stored order every time the special symbol and the decorative symbol are fixedly displayed, and new hold information can be stored along with the digestion. Furthermore, when both the hold information relating to the winning to the start winning opening 19 and the hold information relating to the winning to the tulip-type electric accessory 17 exist, the hold relating to the winning to the tulip-type electric accessory 17 Information is prioritized and digested.

  The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage unit 43, a timer 44, an interface 45, and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 via the interface 45, and is electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52, As will be described later, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal related to the “big hit lottery” from the main control board 31, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device according to the content of the signal, and the operation of the speaker 14 and the lamp member 15, The display operation of the decorative symbols on the display unit 6 is controlled. Further, a push button 25 and the like are also connected to the sub integrated board 41 via an interface 45, and the operation of the push button 25 can be detected by the sub integrated CPU.

  Further, the storage means 43 includes a symbol storage area (not shown) for storing a decorative symbol to be displayed on the symbol display unit 6, a detailed variation display mode of the decorative symbol, a character effect using a character animation, and the like. A plurality of detailed variation patterns (symbol variation patterns) are stored, and a symbol variation pattern storage area 46 is provided. Various detail variation patterns are determined by the main control board 31 as shown in FIGS. It is stored in association with the fluctuation pattern.

  In addition, the decorative pattern variation mode in each detailed variation pattern is a low-speed scroll variation in which the decoration symbol first appears to be scrolled up and down at a high speed and then scrolling speed gradually decreases toward the stop display. After that, a variation mode is adopted in which a fixed display is displayed after a stop display. In addition, after the fluctuation starts, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the order of the left symbol display area 6a, the right symbol display area 6c, and the middle symbol display area 6b in the symbol display section 6, and are temporarily stopped in all the symbol display areas 6a to 6c. After the display, the decoration symbol is fixedly displayed in all symbol display areas 6a to 6c upon receipt of a stop command as described later.

Hereinafter, basic game operations in the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described below.
At the beginning of power-on, the pachinko machine 1 is in a normal state that is not a high-probability state as will be described later. When the handle 9 is turned by the player, the launching device 10 is activated and the game ball is passed through the launch passage 13. Is entered into the game area 16. First, when the game ball that has flowed down the left-handed space SL wins the start winning opening 19, the winning is detected by the main CPU 32. Then, the main CPU 32 obtains one numerical value from each of the c1 counter, the d1 counter, and the e1 counter at the time of winning detection, whether or not the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display unit, and the hold information Check if there is any. Then, when the special symbol is not changing in the special symbol display section and there is no holding information, the current gaming state is first confirmed. Of course, since the current state is the normal state, the acquired numerical value from the e1 counter acquired this time is not referred to, and the normal time big hit determination table previously set in the storage means 33 is referred to and acquired this time. Whether the obtained value from the c1 counter is a predetermined “big hit value (for example,“ 0 ”or“ 300 ”), that is, whether the result of the current“ big hit lottery ”is“ big hit ” Determine whether. Then, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” (that is, the value acquired from the random number for jackpot determination is the “big hit value”), the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 5B is referred to. , The basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d1 counter is read out (the symbol changing time is determined based on the numerical value acquired from the random number for determining the changing time). On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out of” (that is, the numerical value acquired from the big hit determination random number is a numerical value other than the “big hit number”), a basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. The basic variation pattern corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the d1 counter is read out. After that, the main CPU 32 displays information indicating the current gaming state (here, the normal state), the result of the “big hit lottery” (whether it is “big hit” or “out”), and the type of the read basic variation pattern. A start command including the start command is created, and the start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. Further, the special symbol is changed in a predetermined manner in the special symbol display unit, and the time measurement by the timer 34 is started. Then, when the fluctuation time of the read basic fluctuation pattern has elapsed, a special symbol corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery” is fixedly displayed (in the case of “big hit”, “7”, which is the special jackpot special symbol display mode, “ In the case of “displacement”, “-” is displayed for confirmation), and a stop command including a stop signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

  In addition, when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner in the special symbol display unit, or when the holding information is present when the presence / absence of the holding information is confirmed, from the c1 counter, the d1 counter, and the e1 counter associated with the winning The acquired numerical value is stored as the hold information in the hold information storage area. At this time, the main CPU 32 determines whether or not the obtained numerical value from the c1 counter related to the hold information is a “big hit value”, and which is the basic variation pattern corresponding to the obtained numerical value from the d1 counter. It doesn't remember anything, it just memorizes the acquired numerical value. Further, if the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area has already reached the maximum value, the acquired numerical value from each counter is deleted without being stored as the hold information.

  On the other hand, when the sub-integration CPU 42 receives the start command, the sub-integration CPU 42 determines a decorative symbol to be finally displayed according to the information about the result of the “big hit lottery” included in the start command, and stores the symbol variation pattern storage A detailed variation pattern as shown in FIG. 6 corresponding to the information about the current gaming state and basic variation pattern is read from the area 46, and timed by the timer 44, the decorative symbol in the symbol display unit 6 is read according to the read detailed variation pattern. Is displayed in a variable manner. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the determined decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display unit 6. In other words, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, the display is confirmed in a big win decorative symbol display mode (for example, “2.2.2” or “7/7/7”) in which three identical decorative symbols are arranged. Let Further, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “off”, at least one of the three decorative symbols is determined and displayed in a different decorative symbol display mode (for example, “1, 2, 3”).

  Then, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “off”, the main CPU 32 determines that the oldest hold information among the stored hold information if there is hold information after the decorative symbol and the special symbol are confirmed and displayed. About information, just before starting the change of the special symbol, after confirming that the current gaming state is the normal state, it is determined whether the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit” and the symbol change time And the same control as described above, such as transmitting a start command, is executed, and the oldest hold information is deleted from the hold information storage area. If there is no holding information, the game ball is won at the next start winning opening 19 and the current game state is checked to start the “hit lottery” and the determination of the result.

  On the other hand, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the main CPU 32 displays a start demonstration for notifying the start of the big win state, which is the special gaming state, after the final display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol. A jackpot state consisting of an end demonstration of notifying the opening of the door member intermittently over a predetermined number of times and the end of the jackpot state is caused. Further, when the big hit state is caused, the symbol display unit 6 is used to notify the player so as to perform a so-called “right hit” in which a game ball is shot into the right hitting space SR. Then, when a prize is entered in the big prize device 18 in which the game balls flowing down the right-handed space SR are intermittently opened, a lot of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls.

  Further, after the jackpot state is ended, a high probability state that is a specific gaming state is caused (that is, the gaming state is set to a high probability state). In the high probability state, “right-handed” is continued, and when the game ball flowing down the right-handed space SR passes through the gate member 20, the passage is detected by the main CPU 32. Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the a1 counter at the passage detection timing, and determines whether or not the acquired numerical value is a predetermined “open numerical value (for example, 10 values from“ 0 ”to“ 9 ”). Then, when the numerical value acquired from the a1 counter is “open numerical value”, that is, the result of “open lottery” is “winning” (predetermined condition is satisfied), the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is specially opened. The game ball is operated in a mode (for example, the opening over one second longer than that in the normal state is repeated three times intermittently) so that the game ball can easily win the tulip-type electric accessory 17. Further, if the value obtained from the a1 counter is not “open value”, that is, if the result of “open lottery” is “out”, the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is not operated. In the normal state as described above, the number of “open numbers” in “open lottery” is small (for example, only “0”), and the result of “open lottery” is “winning”. At that time, the tulip-type electric accessory 17 normally operates only in an open operation mode (for example, it is opened only once for 0.2 seconds, which is shorter than the high probability state). Game balls are difficult to win. Further, when the game ball passes through the gate member 20 while the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is in operation or the like, the number of a1 counters acquired at the passage timing is stored in the storage means 33 up to a predetermined number, as in the case of the hold information. In addition, every time the operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 ends, confirmation of the result of the “open lottery” is executed in the order stored.

  When the game ball wins the tulip-type electric accessory 17 in the open state, the main CPU 32 detects the win. Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from each of the c1 counter, the d1 counter, and the e1 counter at the time of winning detection, and also changes the special symbol in the special symbol display section, as in the case of winning at the start winning opening 19. Check whether it is being displayed and whether there is pending information. Here, when the special symbol is not changing in the special symbol display section and there is no holding information, first, the current gaming state (the gaming state at the time of starting the control relating to the winning) is confirmed. . Since the current state is a high probability state, first, whether or not the acquired numerical value from the e1 counter is a predetermined “falling numerical value (for example,“ 0 ”or“ 100 ”), that is, the current“ falling lottery ” Is determined whether or not. If the result of the “falling lottery” is “out” (that is, the numerical value acquired from the e1 counter is not the “falling numerical value”), the high probability state is determined to be continued and set in the storage means 33 in advance. With reference to the high-probability jackpot determination table, it is determined whether or not the “big-hit lottery” is won using the numerical value acquired from the c1 counter. In this high probability jackpot determination table, the number of “big hit values” is significantly increased compared to the normal jackpot determination table (for example, “0”, “100”, “150”, “200”, “300”, “350”, “400”, “500”, “600”, “700”). If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, the basic fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 7B is referred to, and the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d1 counter is read. If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “off”, the basic fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 7A is referred to, and the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d1 counter is read.

  On the other hand, if the “falling lottery” is “winning” (that is, the value acquired from the e1 counter is “falling value”), the gaming state is returned from the high probability state to the normal state, and the normal big hit determination It is determined whether the “big hit lottery” is won or not by using the obtained numerical value from the c1 counter with reference to the table. In other words, if the “falling lottery” is won, the number of “big hit lottery” related to the winning prize is reduced to the number in the normal state. Further, when the result of “falling lottery” is “winning”, either of FIG. 7C or FIG. 7D depending on the result of “big hit lottery” using the numerical value acquired from the c1 counter. The basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d1 counter is read with reference to the basic fluctuation pattern determination table for the falling lottery win shown.

  After that, the main CPU 32 creates a start command including information indicating the current gaming state including the result of the “falling lottery”, the result of the “big hit lottery”, and the type of the read basic variation pattern, and the start The command is transmitted to the sub integrated CPU 42. Further, the special symbol is changed in a predetermined manner in the special symbol display unit, and the time measurement by the timer 34 is started. When the fluctuation time of the read basic fluctuation pattern elapses, a special symbol corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery” is confirmed and displayed, and a stop command including a stop signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. Note that the special symbol to be confirmed and displayed corresponds only to the result of “Large lottery”, and does not correspond to the result of “Falling lottery” (for example, Regardless of whether or not the result of the “falling lottery” is true, the same type of special symbol is confirmed and displayed).

  In addition, when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner in the special symbol display unit, or when the holding information is present when the presence / absence of the holding information is confirmed, from the c1 counter, the d1 counter, and the e1 counter associated with the winning The acquired numerical value is stored as the hold information in the hold information storage area. At this time, the main CPU 32 stores the result, such as whether or not the acquired numerical value from the e1 counter related to the reserved information is a “falling numerical value”, as well as the reserved information related to winning in the start winning opening 19. No, just memorize only the acquired numerical value. Further, if the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area has already reached the maximum value, the acquired numerical value from each counter is deleted without being stored as the hold information.

  On the other hand, when receiving the start command, the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives the final command according to the information about the result of the “falling lottery” and the information about the result of the “big hit lottery” included in the start command, as usual. A decorative pattern to be fixedly displayed is determined, and a detailed variation pattern as shown in FIG. 8 corresponding to the result of the “falling lottery” and information about the basic variation pattern is read from the symbol variation pattern storage area 46, and While timing, the decorative symbol on the symbol display unit 6 is variably displayed according to the read detailed variation pattern. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the determined decorative symbol is fixedly displayed on the symbol display unit 6 in a predetermined fixed display manner.

Note that, regardless of the result of the “falling lottery”, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the big hit state is caused. In addition, if both the result of the “falling lottery” and the result of the “hit lottery” are “out”, the hold information exists after the fixed display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol while maintaining the high probability state. The main CPU 32 determines whether or not the “falling lottery” or “big hit lottery” is true for the oldest held information among the stored pieces of held information. Furthermore, when there is no holding information, the winning of the game ball to the next tulip-type electric accessory 17 starts with the confirmation of the current game state, and executes the “hit lottery” and the determination of the result.
Further, when the game ball wins the start winning opening 19 in the high probability state, the winning is naturally effective. If there is no holding information related to winning in the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the winning information to the start winning opening 19 and the holding information related to the winning are the same as when winning the prize in the tulip-type electric accessory 17. The control related to “falling lottery” and “big hit lottery” is executed.

(Direction using prefetch of hold information of the first embodiment)
Here, the production using the pre-reading of the hold information in the high probability state which is the main part of the present invention, that is, as a result of pre-reading the hold information, the obtained numerical value from the fall determination random number and the obtained numerical value from the variation time determining random number are An effect in the case of special hold information such as a specific effect value will be described.
When the main CPU 32 stores the numerical values obtained from the c1 counter, the d1 counter, and the e1 counter as the hold information, the main CPU 32 confirms the gaming state at the time of starting the process related to the digestion of the hold information and is in a high probability state. Then, it is once determined whether or not the acquired numerical value from the e1 counter stored as the hold information is “falling numerical value”, and the acquired numerical value from the c1 counter reflecting the result of “falling lottery” is “big hit” It is once referred to whether or not it is a “numerical value” and which basic fluctuation pattern corresponds to the numerical value obtained from the d1 counter. Then, the main CPU 32 determines whether or not the gaming state at the time of starting the processing related to the digestion of the hold information, and if the gaming state is a high probability state, the obtained numerical value from the e1 counter is a “falling numerical value”. In addition to the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d1 counter and whether or not the acquired numerical value from the c1 counter reflecting the result of the “falling lottery” is the “big hit value”, the holding information Creates schedule information that includes information regarding the winning prize opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 and which is based on the number of holds, and transmits the schedule information to the sub-integrated CPU 42 To do. Note that when the gaming state at the time of starting the processing related to digestion of the hold information is confirmed, if the gaming state is already in the normal state, the determination of the numerical value acquired from the e1 counter is not performed. In addition, the schedule information transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42 does not include information about the numerical value acquired from the e1 counter.

  On the other hand, when receiving the schedule information, the sub integrated CPU 42 stores the received schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47 of the storage means 43, and the received schedule information is stored in either the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17. The number of the hold display to be displayed on the symbol display unit 6 is increased by confirming the number of the hold based on the winning. Further, every time the schedule information is received, whether the received schedule information is related to winning a prize for the tulip-type electric accessory 17 or not, the result of the “big win lottery” relating to the current fluctuation display is “big hit” It is determined whether or not there is schedule information whose result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” in the high-priority schedule information (old schedule information) higher than the received schedule information. In other words, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information confirmation means 53, the received schedule information relates to the winning of the tulip-type electric accessory 17, and the result of the “big hit lottery” relating to the current variation display is “big hit” If the schedule information older than the received schedule information does not include schedule information with the result of “big hit lottery” being “big hit” (the first specific condition is satisfied), the schedule information is now The game state at the time of starting the process related to the digestion of the game is confirmed. Then, if the gaming state at the time of starting the process related to the digestion of the schedule information is a high probability state (when the second specific condition is satisfied), then, as a result of the “falling lottery”, the “big hit lottery” And confirm the basic variation pattern. The result of the “falling lottery” is “winning” and the result of the “hit lottery” is “out” (third specific condition 1: the numerical value obtained from the random number for falling determination is the “falling numerical value”) The value obtained from the random number for determining the jackpot is not “the jackpot number”, and the result of the “big hit lottery” is “the jackpot” (the third specific condition 2: the number acquired from the random number for determining the jackpot is “the jackpot value”) ) Further, the result of the “falling lottery” and the result of the “big hit lottery” are both “out” and the basic variation pattern is G (third specific condition 3: the numerical value obtained from the random number for falling judgment is “falling numerical value”). And the numerical value acquired from the jackpot determination random number is not the “big hit value” and the numerical value acquired from the variation time determination random number is a specific numerical value). And finally, if either of the third specific conditions 1 or 3 is satisfied, the hold information corresponding to the schedule information is determined to be special hold information (special hold information has occurred) If the third specific condition 2 is satisfied, it is determined that the hold information corresponding to the schedule information is the fixed hold information (the fixed hold information has been generated), and the sub integrated CPU 42 becomes the specific effect execution means 55. A specific display effect using a specific notice display (shown in FIGS. 9 and 10) or a success / failure notification display (shown in FIG. 11) stored in the specific effect storage area 48 of the storage means 44 is displayed on the symbol display unit 6. Run. Note that the received schedule information is related to winning at the start winning opening 19, the result of the “big hit lottery” relating to the current fluctuation display is “big hit”, or even older than the received scheduled information. In the schedule information, if there is schedule information with the result of the “big hit lottery” as “big hit”, or if the game state at the time of starting the digestion of the schedule information is normal, the “fall down lottery” As a result, the result of “Large lottery” and the basic variation pattern may be confirmed. Even if any one of the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied, special hold information and confirmed hold information The specific display effect using the specific advance notice display or the success / failure notification display is not performed.

Hereinafter, specific examples of specific display effects using the specific notice display and various notification displays will be described with reference to FIGS.
Here, a case is considered where the schedule information that is related to winning in the tulip-type electric accessory 17 and is the third hold information is transmitted from the main CPU 32 to the sub-integrated CPU 42. Upon receiving the schedule information, the sub-integrated CPU 42 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47, and as a result of confirming the schedule information, the first specific condition and the second specific condition are satisfied, and If any one of the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied, it is determined that the hold information corresponding to the schedule information is special hold information (or confirmed hold information). Then, after the decorative symbol that is currently displayed in a variable display is confirmed and displayed in the off-decorative symbol display mode upon reception of the stop command (FIG. 9A), special hold information (or fixed hold is received when the next start command is received). The change of the decorative symbol related to the hold information two items before (information) is started (FIG. 9B), but during the variable display of the decorative symbol (between the start of change and the final display) Is displayed on the symbol display section 6 for a specific display time (for example, 1 second) for notifying the player that there is a possibility of winning the “falling lottery” (see FIG. 1). 9 (c)), the display of the stop command is received again, and the decorative symbol is removed and the display is confirmed and displayed in the decorative symbol display mode (FIG. 9 (d)). Thereafter, upon receipt of the next start command, this time, the decoration pattern related to the hold information one before the special hold information (or confirmed hold information) is started (FIG. 10A), and the decoration is also displayed. At a predetermined advance notice timing during the change display of the symbol (between the start of change and the final display), a specific advance notice 61b different from the specific advance notice 61a is displayed on the design display unit 6 for a specific display time (for example, 1 second). After that (FIG. 10 (b)), when the stop command is received again, the decorative symbol is removed and the display is confirmed and displayed in the decorative symbol display mode (FIG. 10 (c)).

  Thereafter, when the next start command is received, the decoration symbol related to the special hold information (or confirmed hold information) starts to be changed (FIG. 11A). At this time, if the third specific condition 1 among the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied (special hold information), the first decorative symbol (this embodiment) is started after the variation of the decorative symbol is started. Then, before temporarily displaying the decorative symbols displayed in the left symbol display area 6a), in other words, at a specific timing while all the decorative symbols are variably displayed, the “falling lottery” is won. A fall notification display 62 for notifying the player that the high probability state has ended and has returned to the normal state is displayed on the symbol display unit 6 for a specific notification time (for example, 3 seconds) (FIG. 11B). ). After that, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in order, and the decorative symbol is removed upon receipt of the stop command (or may be a specific decorative symbol display mode (falling decorative symbol display mode) for falling notification). Press to confirm.

  In addition, if the third specific condition 2 among the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied (determined hold information), the decorative symbol that is temporarily stopped after the start of the variation of the decorative symbol is displayed. The jackpot notification display 63 for notifying the player that the result of the “big hit lottery” related to the change is “big hit” is displayed on the symbol display unit 6 for a specific notification time at a specific timing before the stop display. (FIG. 11 (c)). Thereafter, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in order, and when the stop command is received, the decorative symbols are confirmed and displayed in a jackpot decorative symbol display mode.

Furthermore, if the third specific condition 3 among the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied (special hold information), the first decorative symbol is temporarily displayed after the decorative symbol change is started. At a specific timing before, the result of the “falling lottery” relating to the change is “out” and the result of the “hit lottery” is also “out”, that is, the gaming state changes with a high probability state. An invariant notification display 64 for notifying the player that it is neither a “big hit” nor a “big hit” is displayed on the symbol display section 6 for a specific notification time (FIG. 11D). Thereafter, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in order, and when the stop command is received, the decorative symbols are removed and fixedly displayed in the decorative symbol display mode.
Then, the specific display effect started when the special hold information (or fixed hold information) is determined is the various notification displays 62 during the variable display of the decorative symbol related to the special hold information (or fixed hold information). , 64 and the jackpot notification display 63, and the subsequent display of the decorative symbols finalized.

(Effects of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 as described above, in the high probability state in which the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is likely to be in an open state and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is in an open state for a longer time than the normal state, for example, If special hold information that satisfies the special conditions such as winning the “fall lottery” that determines the continuation / termination of the high probability state and not winning the “big win lottery”, a special hold is generated. Specific notice display 61a, 61b that informs the player that special hold information has been generated between the start of the change of the decorative symbol for the hold information that is digested before the information and the final display. Is displayed on the symbol display section 6 and the special hold information is changed to the special hold information during the period from the start of the change of the decorative design to the temporary display of the first decorative design. That displays a fall alarm display 62 and the constant alarm display 64 to inform the player of the results of the "fall lottery" in the symbol display unit 6. In other words, since the special “holding lottery” result is displayed at a relatively early timing during digestion, the tulip is displayed at a point before displaying the “falling lottery” result as in the conventional pachinko machine. The fact that the “falling lottery” has been detected by the player is recognized from the operation mode of the electric power accessory 17, and the success / failure notification effect of the kite, which originally stimulates the player ’s interest regarding the success / failure of the “falling lottery”, has lacked interest. There will be no problem of becoming. Furthermore, since the specific notice display 61a, 61b is displayed using the hold information having a higher priority of digestion than the special hold information, the player's interest is sufficiently determined as to which is the result of the “falling lottery” The pachinko machine 1 can be heated and can be made highly playable.

  In addition, in the high-probability state, when deferred hold information with a result of “big win lottery” is “big win”, special hold information is generated when deferring hold information that has a higher priority of digestion than confirmed hold information The same specific notice display 61a, 61b as the case where it did is displayed on the symbol display part 6. FIG. Therefore, by displaying the specific notice display 61a and 61b, not only the result of the “falling lottery” but also the result of the “hit lottery” can be provided to the player, and the pachinko machine 1 can be played with a lot of fun. It can be greatly improved.

  Next, the pachinko machine which becomes 2nd embodiment of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on drawing.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing the pachinko machine 101 from the front side. Moreover, FIG. 13 is explanatory drawing which showed the game board 102 from the front side. FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing the pachinko machine 101 from the rear side.
The pachinko machine 101 is a game in which a game ball is driven into a game area 116 formed on the front surface of the game board 102 and flows down in the game area 116, and the game board 102 functions as a support. It is installed on the front upper part of the frame 103 via a middle frame 105 which is a metal frame member. Further, a front door 104 formed by inserting a glass plate into the front of the game board 102 is hinged to the machine frame 103 so as to be able to be opened in a single direction with the left end edge as an axis, and is closed by the front door 104. A space in front of the game board 102 is a game area 116.

  The game area 116 is surrounded by an outer rail 123 and an inner rail 124 that are arranged in an arc shape on the front surface of the game board 102, and a game ball is placed between the rails 123, 124 on the left side of the game area 116. A launch passage 113 for driving into the game area 116 is provided. In addition, a symbol display unit 106 for displaying a decorative symbol composed of numbers “0” to “9” and a hold display indicating the number of hold information is provided in the approximate center of the game area 116. Further, a center member 126 having various electric accessories 171 and decorative lamps 172, 172,... Is installed on the game board 102 so as to surround the symbol display section 6, and below the center member 26, the game A V-winning attacker having a start winning opening 19 through which a ball can be won and a pair of wing pieces (movable members) that can be opened and closed and having a winning opening (not shown) as a special area through which a game ball can pass. 117 are juxtaposed vertically. In addition, a left-handed space SL in which a game ball can flow down is formed on the left side of the center member 126. Only a game ball that flows down in the left-handed space SL can aim for winning at the start winning opening 119. It is like that. Note that the winning of the game ball to the V winning attacker 117 (that is, passing through a special area of the game ball) is possible only when the wing piece is open, and the wing piece is closed. A game ball is prevented from winning the V winning attacker 117.

  On the other hand, a right-handed space SR in which a game ball can flow down is also formed on the right side of the center member 126. The right-handed space SR is provided with a gate member 120 through which a game ball can pass. Further, on the right part of the center member 126, there is provided a wing piece-equipped electric accessory 165 including a wing piece that can be opened and closed. When the wing piece-attached electric accessory 165 is in an open state, the wing piece projects into the right-handed space SR, opens an opening provided in the right portion of the center member 126, and is awarded in the center member 126. While it is possible to win a game ball in the mouth, the wing piece closes the opening in the closed state, making it impossible to win the game ball. In addition, a large winning attacker 118 having an openable / closable door member is installed below the right-handed space SR (below the center member 126 and on the right side of the start winning opening 119 and the V winning attacker 117). ing. Then, by allowing the game ball to flow down in the right-handed space SR instead of the left-handed space SL, the gate member 120 can be passed through and the wing piece-equipped electric accessory 165 in an open state can be won. Thus, it is possible to efficiently win the opened large winning attacker 118 and the V winning attacker 117 in which the blade piece is opened. Note that a large number of game nails (not shown) are planted on substantially the entire surface of the game area 116 regardless of whether the center member 126 is left or right. In addition, a special symbol display unit (not shown) including a 7-segment display for displaying a special symbol is provided in the lower right portion of the game board 102 outside the game area 116.

Further, on the front side of the machine casing 103 and below the game board 102, a supply tray 107 for supplying game balls to the launching device 110, and a storage for storing game balls overflowing from the supply tray 107 are stored. A tray 108 is attached, the supply tray 107 can be opened to the machine frame 103 with the opening of the front door 104, and the storage tray 108 can be opened to the machine frame 103 with the opening of the middle frame 105. Furthermore, on the right side of the storage tray 108, a handle 109 for operating the launching device 110 is installed so as to be able to rotate. In addition, a push button 125 that can be arbitrarily pushed by the player is provided in front of the supply tray 107.
In addition, a pair of speakers 114 and 114 for reporting sound effects and various messages are provided on the upper part of the front door 104, and on the side of the front door 104 according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 101 and the like. Lamp members 115 and 115 each having a plurality of LEDs that are turned on and blinking are provided.

  On the other hand, on the rear side of the machine casing 103, a storage tank 111 for storing game balls to be paid out as rental balls or prize balls to the supply tray 107, a payout device 112 connected to the storage tank 111, and a payout device 112 A payout control device 128 for controlling the payout operation, a power supply device 129 for supplying a power supply voltage to each control board, device, and member are installed. Reference numeral 121 denotes a center cover formed in the shape of a cover made of synthetic resin. The center cover 121 has a main cover for executing main control relating to the game (for example, so-called “hit lottery”). A main control device 130 (shown in FIG. 15), a display control device 150 (shown in FIG. 15) that controls the display operation and the like in the symbol display unit 106, and a light emission control device 151 that controls the lighting / flashing operation of the lamp member 115, etc. 15), a sound control device 152 (shown in FIG. 15) that controls the sounding operation from the speaker 114, and a sub-control device 140 that integrally controls the operations of the display control device 150, the sound control device 152, and the like. (Shown in FIG. 15) and the like are installed. Note that 122 is a plug for connecting the pachinko machine 101 to the transformer, and 127 is a ground.

Next, the control mechanism of the pachinko machine 101 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 101.
The main controller 130 includes a main control board 131 on which a main CPU 132 that controls the operation of the following members as well as the execution of the “hit lottery”, a storage means 133 such as a ROM and a RAM, a timer 134, an interface 135, and the like are mounted. Has been. The main control board 131 is connected to the start winning port 119, the V winning attacker 117, the big winning attacker 118, the payout control device 128, the power supply device 129, the gate member 120, and the like via the interface 135. The main control board 131 is also electrically connected to a sub integrated board 141 built in the sub control device 140.

  The storage means 33 includes an a2 counter used for “open lottery” for determining whether or not to open the electric accessory 165 with wing pieces, a c2 counter used for so-called “hit lottery” (random number for jackpot determination, for determining jackpot type) Random number), a d2 counter (random time for determining the fluctuation time) for determining a basic fluctuation pattern (symbol fluctuation pattern) that is mainly a fluctuation time of a special symbol or a decorative symbol, and an e2 counter (falling) used for “falling lottery” described later. A plurality of counters such as a determination random number) are incorporated. Each counter is a loop counter that counts a loop while adding one by one within a very short time (for example, 1 interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on. The acquisition of numerical values used can be regarded as acquisition of numerical values from random numbers. Also, the a2 counter is 0-10 (11 ways), the c2 counter is 0-1900 (1901 ways), the d2 counter is 0-30 (31 ways), and the e2 counter is 0-0. Each loop count is performed between 200 (201 ways). Then, the main CPU 132 obtains one numerical value from the a2 counter triggered by detection of the passing of the gate member 120 of the game ball, and triggered by detection of a prize at the start winning port 119 or the wing piece-equipped electric accessory 165 of the game ball. , C2 counter, d2 counter, and e2 counter each obtain one numerical value (so-called “big hit lottery” is executed).

  The storage means 133 stores a special symbol displayed on the special symbol display section, a basic variation pattern determination table that associates the numerical value of the d2 counter with the basic variation pattern, as shown in FIGS. Yes. This basic variation pattern mainly defines the variation time (time from the variation start to the final display) of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. Further, in the storage means 133, for example, when a game ball wins the start winning port 119 or the electric accessory 165 with a wing piece while the special symbol is variably displayed in the special symbol display unit, the c2 counter associated with the winning, There are provided hold information storage areas for storing up to four each in a state in which the start winning port 119 and the electric accessory with wing pieces 165 are distinguished from each other by using the numerical values obtained from the d2 counter and the e2 counter as hold information. Note that the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area is notified to the player by a hold display displayed on the symbol display unit 106 under the control of the sub-integrated board 141 as will be described later. Further, the hold information is sequentially digested in the stored order every time the special symbol and the decorative symbol are fixedly displayed, and new hold information can be stored along with the digestion. Further, when both the hold information relating to winning at the start winning opening 119 and the hold information relating to winning in the electric accessory with wings 165 exist, the hold relating to winning in the electric accessory with wings 165 is held. Information is prioritized and digested.

  The sub-control device 140 includes a sub-integrated board 141 on which a sub-integrated CPU 142, a storage unit 143, a timer 144, an interface 145, and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 141 is electrically connected to the main control board 131 via the interface 145, and is also electrically connected to the display control device 150, the light emission control device 151, and the sound control device 152. When the sub-integrated CPU 142 receives a signal related to “big hit lottery” from the main control board 131 as will be described later, the sub-integrated CPU 142 controls each control device in accordance with the content of the signal, and the operation of the speaker 114 and the lamp member 115 and the design The display operation of the decorative symbols on the display unit 106 is controlled. Further, a push button 125 and the like are also connected to the sub-integrated board 141 via the interface 145, and the operation of the push button 125 can be detected by the sub-integrated CPU 142.

  Further, the storage means 143 includes a symbol storage area (not shown) for storing a decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 106, a detailed variation display mode of the decorative symbol, a character effect using a character animation, and the like. A plurality of detailed variation patterns (symbol variation patterns) are stored, and a symbol variation pattern storage area 146 is provided. Various detail variation patterns are determined by the main control board 131 as shown in FIGS. It is stored in association with the fluctuation pattern.

  In addition, the decorative pattern variation mode in each detailed variation pattern is a low-speed scroll variation in which the decoration symbol first appears to be scrolled up and down at a high speed and then scrolling speed gradually decreases toward the stop display. After that, a variation mode is adopted in which a fixed display is displayed after a stop display. In addition, after the fluctuation starts, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the order of the left symbol display area 106a, the right symbol display area 106c, and the middle symbol display area 106b in the symbol display unit 106, and temporarily stopped in all the symbol display areas 106a to 106c. After the display, the decoration symbol is confirmed and displayed in all symbol display areas 106a to 106c upon receipt of a stop command as described later.

Hereinafter, basic game operations in the pachinko machine 101 will be briefly described below.
When the power is turned on, the pachinko machine 101 is in a normal state that is not a high probability state as will be described later, and when the handle 109 is turned by the player, the launching device 110 is activated and the game ball is passed through the launch passage 113. Is entered into the game area 116. First, when a game ball that has flowed down the left-handed space SL wins the start winning opening 119, the main CPU 132 detects the winning. Then, the main CPU 132 acquires one numerical value from each of the c2 counter, the d2 counter, and the e2 counter at the timing of winning detection, whether or not the special symbol is being variably displayed in the special symbol display unit, and the hold information Check if there is any. Then, when the special symbol is not changing in the special symbol display section and there is no holding information, the current gaming state is first confirmed. Of course, since the current state is the normal state, the acquisition value from the e2 counter acquired this time is not referred to, but the normal time big hit determination table previously set in the storage unit 133 is referred to and acquired this time. Whether the acquired value from the c2 counter is a predetermined “big hit value (for example,“ 0 ”,“ 300 ”,“ 500 ”,“ 1000 ”,“ 1500 ”)”, that is, It is determined whether or not the result of “lottery” is “big hit”. As a result of the “big hit lottery”, it is “big hit” (that is, the value obtained from the random number for jackpot determination is the “big hit value”), and the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 16B is referred to. The basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d2 counter is read out (design fluctuation time is determined based on the numerical value acquired from the random number for determining the fluctuation time). On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out of” (that is, the numeric value obtained from the random number for jackpot determination is a numeric value other than the “big hit number”), a basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. The basic variation pattern corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the d2 counter is read out. Thereafter, the main CPU 132 obtains information indicating the current gaming state (in this case, the normal state), the result of the “big hit lottery” (whether it is “big hit” or “out”), and the type of the read basic variation pattern. A start command including the start command is created, and the start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 142. In addition, the special symbol is changed in a predetermined manner in the special symbol display unit, and the time measurement by the timer 134 is started. When the fluctuation time of the read basic fluctuation pattern elapses, a special symbol corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery” is fixedly displayed (“big hit” where the “big hit value” is either “0” or “300”) In the case of “1”, which is a non-special jackpot special symbol display mode, and “Big jackpot” which is “500” or “1000”, the “special jackpot special symbol display mode” is the first specific jackpot special symbol display mode If “3” and “Big Bonus” is “1500”, “7”, which is the second special jackpot special symbol display mode, will be confirmed and displayed. And a stop command including a stop signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

  In addition, when special symbols are variably displayed in the special symbol display section, or when there is on-hold information when the presence / absence of the on-hold information is confirmed, from the c2 counter, d2 counter, and e2 counter associated with the winning The acquired numerical value is stored as the hold information in the hold information storage area. At this time, the main CPU 132 determines whether or not the obtained numerical value from the c2 counter related to the hold information is a “big hit value”, and which is the basic variation pattern corresponding to the obtained numerical value from the d2 counter. It doesn't remember anything, it just memorizes the acquired numerical value. Further, if the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area has already reached the maximum value, the acquired numerical value from each counter is deleted without being stored as the hold information.

  On the other hand, when the sub-integration CPU 142 receives the start command, the sub-integration CPU 142 determines the decorative symbol to be finally displayed according to the information about the result of the “big hit lottery” included in the start command, and stores the symbol variation pattern storage The detailed variation pattern as shown in FIG. 17 corresponding to the information about the current gaming state and the basic variation pattern is read from the area 146, and timed by the timer 144, the decorative symbol in the symbol display unit 106 is read according to the read detailed variation pattern. Is displayed in a variable manner. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the determined decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display unit 106. That is, as a result of the “big hit lottery”, if the “big hit value” is “big hit” which is either “0” or “300”, a non-specific big hit decorative symbol display mode in which three identical decorative symbols are arranged (for example, “2 ・ 2 ・ 2”) to confirm. Also, as a result of the “big hit lottery”, if the “big hit value” is “500” or “1000”, it is different from the decorative symbol used in the non-specific big hit decorative symbol display mode. The first specific jackpot decorative symbol display mode (for example, “1 · 1 · 1”) in which three decorative symbols are arranged is confirmed and displayed. Furthermore, as a result of the “big hit lottery”, when the “big hit value” is “1500”, the same decorative pattern different from the non-specific big hit decorative symbol display mode and the first specific big hit decorative symbol display mode is displayed. The second specific jackpot decorative symbol display mode (for example, “7, 7, 7”) arranged in three is fixedly displayed. On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “off”, at least one of the three decorative symbols is confirmed and displayed in a different decorative pattern display mode (for example, “1, 2, 3”).

  Then, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out”, the main CPU 132 determines that the oldest hold information among the stored hold information if there is hold information after the decorative symbols and special symbols are confirmed and displayed. About information, just before starting the change of the special symbol, after confirming that the current gaming state is the normal state, it is determined whether the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit” and the symbol change time And the same control as described above, such as transmitting a start command, is executed, and the oldest hold information is deleted from the hold information storage area. Further, when there is no holding information, the game ball is won at the next start winning opening 119, and the current game state is checked and “big hit lottery” and the determination of the result are executed.

  On the other hand, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the main CPU 132 displays a start demonstration for notifying the start of the big win state, which is the special game state, after the display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol is confirmed. A jackpot state is generated that includes intermittent opening for a predetermined number of times, blade blade opening operation in the V winning attacker 117, and an end demonstration notifying the end of the jackpot state. At this time, if the “big hit value” is “0” or “300”, either of the conditions until the opening time reaches 30 seconds or until eight game balls are won. After intermittently repeating the opening of the big prize attacker 118 until it is satisfied seven times, a non-specific big hit state is generated in which the blade of the V prize attacker 117 is opened for 0.5 seconds. Further, if the “bonus value” is “500” or “1000”, after repeating the opening of the big prize attacker 118 seven times until the above condition is satisfied, The first specific jackpot state in which the wing piece of the V winning attacker 117 is opened until the opening time reaches 30 seconds or until any of the eight game balls is won is generated. Further, if the “big hit value” is “1500”, the wing piece of the V winning attacker 117 is repeatedly opened 7 times repeatedly until the above condition is satisfied, and then the winning prize attacker 118 is opened. Also, the opening operation is interrupted until the opening time reaches 30 seconds or any of the conditions for winning eight game balls is satisfied, and the grand prize attacker 118 is opened until the above condition is satisfied again. Thus, the second specific jackpot state of repeating seven times is generated. Accordingly, when the first specific jackpot state and the second specific jackpot state occur, it is possible to win the game ball to the V winning attacker 117 (that is, to pass through the specific area) with a relatively high probability, while in the non-specific jackpot state Occurs, the probability of winning the game ball to the V winning attacker 117 becomes extremely low. Further, when the big hit state is caused, the symbol display unit 106 is used to notify the player so as to perform so-called “right hit” in which a game ball is shot into the right strike space SR. Then, when winning the prize winning attacker 118 in which the game ball flowing down the right-handed space SR is intermittently opened or the V winning attacker 117 in which the wing piece is opened, a lot of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls. .

  In addition, when the game ball wins the V winning attacker 117 during the jackpot state (the game ball passes through the special area and is detected by the main CPU 132), after the jackpot state is over, the high game state that is in the specific game state is reached. A probability state is generated (that is, the gaming state is set to a high probability state). Accordingly, when the first specific jackpot state or the second specific jackpot state has occurred, a high probability state occurs with high probability after the end of the jackpot state. Even if a non-specific big hit state has occurred, although a low probability, if a game ball wins the V winning attacker 117, a high probability state will occur after the big hit state ends. Even if the first specific jackpot state or the second specific jackpot state has occurred, if the game ball does not win the V winning attacker 117 during the jackpot state, a high probability state is caused after the jackpot state ends. Rather, it causes a normal state similar to the above.

  In the high probability state, “right-handed” is continued, and when the game ball flowing down the right-handed space SR passes through the gate member 120, the passage is detected by the main CPU 132. Then, the main CPU 132 acquires one numerical value from the a2 counter at the passage detection timing, and determines whether or not the acquired numerical value is a predetermined “open numerical value (for example, 10 values from“ 0 ”to“ 9 ”). Then, if the numerical value acquired from the a2 counter is “open numerical value”, that is, if the result of “open lottery” is “winning” (predetermined condition is satisfied), the electric accessory 165 with wing pieces is specially opened. The game ball is awarded to the electric accessory 165 with the wing piece by operating in a mode (for example, an aspect where the electric piece 165 with the wing piece is opened three times intermittently for one second longer than the normal state). Make it easy to do. Further, when the numerical value acquired from the a2 counter is not “open numerical value”, that is, when the result of “open lottery” is “off”, the electric accessory 165 with wing pieces is not operated. In the normal state as described above, the number of “open numbers” in “open lottery” is small (for example, only “0”), and the result of “open lottery” is “winning”. In the meantime, the electric accessory 165 with the blade piece is normally opened (for example, an embodiment in which the electric agent 165 with the blade piece is opened only once for 0.2 seconds, which is shorter than the high probability state). The game ball is hard to win a prize to the electric accessory 165 with a wing piece. Further, when the game ball passes through the gate member 120 during the operation of the electric accessory 165 with wing pieces, the value of the a2 counter obtained at the passage timing is stored in the storage means 33 up to a predetermined number, as in the case of the hold information. At the same time, the result of the “open lottery” is confirmed in the stored order every time the operation of the electric accessory 165 with blade pieces is completed.

  Then, when a game ball wins the wing piece-equipped electric accessory 165 in the open state, the main CPU 132 detects the win. Then, the main CPU 132 acquires one numerical value from each of the c2 counter, the d2 counter, and the e2 counter at the winning detection timing, and changes the special symbol in the special symbol display section, as in the case of winning at the start winning opening 119. Check whether it is being displayed and whether there is pending information. Here, when the special symbol is not changing in the special symbol display section and there is no holding information, first, the current gaming state (the gaming state at the time of starting the control relating to the winning) is confirmed. . Since the current state is a high probability state, first, whether or not the acquired numerical value from the e2 counter is a predetermined “falling numerical value (for example,“ 0 ”or“ 100 ”), that is, the current“ falling lottery ” Is determined whether or not. If the result of the “falling lottery” is “out” (that is, the numerical value acquired from the e2 counter is not the “falling numerical value”), the high probability state is determined to be continued, and is set in the storage unit 133 in advance. With reference to the high probability jackpot determination table, it is determined whether or not the “big hit lottery” is won using the numerical value obtained from the c2 counter. In this high probability jackpot determination table, the number of “big hit values” is significantly increased compared to the normal jackpot determination table (for example, “0”, “100”, “200”, “300”, “400”, “500”, “600”, “700”, “800”, “900”, “1000”, “1100”, “1200”, “1300”, “1400”, “1500”, “1600 ”,“ 1700 ”,“ 1800 ”,“ 1900 ”). If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, the basic fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 18B is referred to, and the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d2 counter is read. If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “off”, the basic fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 18A is referred to, and the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d2 counter is read.

  On the other hand, if the “falling lottery” is “winning” (that is, the value acquired from the e2 counter is “falling number”), the gaming state is returned from the high probability state to the normal state, and the normal big hit determination It is determined whether or not the “big hit lottery” has been won using the obtained numerical value from the c2 counter with reference to the table. In other words, if the “falling lottery” is won, the number of “big hit lottery” related to the winning prize is reduced to the number in the normal state. Further, when the result of “falling lottery” is “winning”, either of FIG. 18C or FIG. 18D depending on the result of “big hit lottery” using the numerical value acquired from the c2 counter. The basic fluctuation pattern determination table for the falling lottery win is shown, and the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the d2 counter is read.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 132 creates a start command including information indicating the current gaming state including the result of the “falling lottery”, the result of the “hit lottery”, and the type of the read basic variation pattern, and The command is transmitted to the sub integrated CPU 142. In addition, the special symbol is changed in a predetermined manner in the special symbol display unit, and the time measurement by the timer 134 is started. When the fluctuation time of the read basic fluctuation pattern elapses, a special symbol corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery” is confirmed and displayed, and a stop command including a stop signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. Here, as a result of the “big hit lottery”, the “big hit value” is “0”, “100”, “200”, “300”, “400”, “600”, “700”, “800”. If it is a certain “big hit”, the non-specific big hit state is generated after the non-specific big hit special symbol display mode is fixedly displayed. If the “big hit value” is “500”, “900”, or “1000”, the first specific gaming state is determined and displayed in the first specific special jackpot special symbol display mode. Wake up. Furthermore, the “big hit” whose “big hit value” is any one of “1100”, “1200”, “1300”, “1400”, “1500”, “1600”, “1700”, “1800”, “1900” If it is, after making a fixed display in the 2nd specific jackpot special symbol display mode, the 2nd specific gaming state is caused. On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out”, the special symbol display mode of out is displayed. Note that the special symbol to be confirmed and displayed corresponds only to the result of “Large lottery”, and does not correspond to the result of “Falling lottery” (for example, Regardless of whether or not the result of the “falling lottery” is true, the same type of special symbol is confirmed and displayed).

  In addition, when special symbols are variably displayed in the special symbol display section, or when there is on-hold information when the presence / absence of the on-hold information is confirmed, from the c2 counter, d2 counter, and e2 counter associated with the winning The acquired numerical value is stored as the hold information in the hold information storage area. At this time, the main CPU 132 stores, for example, the result of whether or not the acquired numerical value from the e2 counter related to the hold information is the “falling value”, similarly to the hold information related to the winning to the start winning opening 119. No, just memorize only the acquired numerical value. Further, if the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area has already reached the maximum value, the acquired numerical value from each counter is deleted without being stored as the hold information.

  On the other hand, when receiving the start command, the sub-integrated CPU 142 receives the final command according to the information about the result of the “falling lottery” and the information about the result of the “big hit lottery” included in the start command, as usual. The decorative pattern to be fixedly displayed is determined, and the detailed variation pattern as shown in FIG. 19 corresponding to the information about the result of the “falling lottery” and the basic variation pattern is read from the symbol variation pattern storage area 146, and the timer 144 While timing, the decorative symbols on the symbol display unit 106 are variably displayed according to the read detailed variation pattern. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the determined decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display unit 106 in a predetermined fixed display manner.

Note that, regardless of the result of the “falling lottery”, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the big hit state is caused. In addition, if both the result of the “falling lottery” and the result of the “hit lottery” are “out”, the hold information exists after the fixed display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol while maintaining the high probability state. The main CPU 132 determines whether or not the “falling lottery” or “big hit lottery” is true for the oldest holding information among the stored holding information. Further, when there is no holding information, the winning of a game ball to the next wing-piece-equipped electric player 165 starts with the confirmation of the current gaming state, and executes the “hit lottery” and the determination of the result.
Further, when the game ball wins the start winning opening 119 in the high probability state, the winning is naturally effective. Then, when there is no holding information related to winning the winning combination 165 with the wing piece, the same as when winning the electric piece 165 with the wing piece with respect to the winning winning opening 119 and the holding information related to the winning. The control related to “falling lottery” and “big hit lottery” is executed.

(Direction using prefetching of hold information in the second embodiment)
Here, the production using the pre-reading of the hold information in the high probability state which is the main part of the present invention, that is, as a result of pre-reading the hold information, the obtained numerical value from the fall determination random number and the obtained numerical value from the variation time determining random number are An effect in the case of special hold information such as a specific effect value will be described. In addition, the production | presentation using the prefetch of hold information of 2nd embodiment is substantially the same as the production using the prefetch of hold information of 1st embodiment, and was the tulip-type electric accessory 17 in 1st embodiment. However, it is only changed to the electric accessory 165 with a blade piece.
When the main CPU 132 stores the acquired numerical values from the c2 counter, the d2 counter, and the e2 counter as the hold information, the main CPU 132 confirms the gaming state at the time of starting the process related to the digestion of the hold information and is in a high probability state. Then, it is once determined whether or not the acquired numerical value from the e2 counter stored as the hold information is “falling numerical value”, and the acquired numerical value from the c2 counter reflecting the result of “falling lottery” is “big hit” It is once referred to whether or not it is a “numerical value” and which basic fluctuation pattern corresponds to the numerical value acquired from the d2 counter. Then, the main CPU 132 determines whether or not the gaming state at the time of starting the processing related to the digestion of the hold information, and if the gaming state is a high probability state, the value acquired from the e2 counter is the “falling value”. In addition to the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value from the d2 counter, whether or not the acquired numerical value from the c2 counter reflecting the result of the “falling lottery” is the “big hit value”, the holding information Prepares schedule information including whether the start winning port 119 or the electric accessory 165 with a blade piece is won and based on the number of holds, and transmits the schedule information to the sub-integrated CPU 142 To do. When the gaming state at the time of starting the process related to the digestion of the hold information is confirmed, if the gaming state is already in the normal state, the determination of the numerical value acquired from the e2 counter is not performed. Also, the schedule information to be transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 142 does not include information about the numerical value acquired from the e2 counter.

  On the other hand, when receiving the schedule information, the sub-integrated CPU 142 stores the received schedule information in the schedule information storage area 147 of the storage unit 143, and the received schedule information is stored in either the start winning opening 119 or the electric accessory 165 with a blade piece. The number of on-hold displays to be displayed on the symbol display unit 106 is increased by confirming the number of on-holds that are related to winning a prize. In addition, every time the schedule information is received, whether the received schedule information is related to winning a prize for the electric appliance 165 with a wing piece or not, the result of the “big win lottery” relating to the current fluctuation display is “big hit” It is determined whether or not there is schedule information whose result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” in the high-priority schedule information (old schedule information) higher than the received schedule information. In other words, the sub-integrated CPU 142 becomes the schedule information confirmation unit 153, and the received schedule information relates to the winning of the wing piece-equipped electric accessory 165, and the result of the “big win lottery” related to the current fluctuation display is “big hit” If the schedule information older than the received schedule information does not include schedule information with the result of “big hit lottery” being “big hit” (the first specific condition is satisfied), the schedule information is now The game state at the time of starting the process related to the digestion of the game is confirmed. Then, if the gaming state at the time of starting the process related to the digestion of the schedule information is a high probability state (when the second specific condition is satisfied), then, as a result of the “falling lottery”, the “big hit lottery” And confirm the basic variation pattern. The result of the “falling lottery” is “winning” and the result of the “hit lottery” is “out” (third specific condition 1: the numerical value obtained from the random number for falling determination is the “falling numerical value”) The value obtained from the random number for determining the jackpot is not “the jackpot number”, and the result of the “big hit lottery” is “the jackpot” (the third specific condition 2: the number acquired from the random number for determining the jackpot is “the jackpot value”) ) Further, the result of the “falling lottery” and the result of the “big hit lottery” are both “out” and the basic variation pattern is G (third specific condition 3: the numerical value obtained from the random number for falling judgment is “falling numerical value”). And the numerical value acquired from the jackpot determination random number is not the “big hit value” and the numerical value acquired from the variation time determination random number is a specific numerical value). And finally, if either of the third specific conditions 1 or 3 is satisfied, the hold information corresponding to the schedule information is determined to be special hold information (special hold information has occurred) If the third specific condition 2 is satisfied, it is determined that the hold information corresponding to the schedule information is the fixed hold information (the fixed hold information has been generated), and the sub integrated CPU 142 becomes the specific effect execution means 155. The symbol display unit 106 displays a specific display effect using a specific notice display (shown in FIGS. 20 and 21) or a success / failure notification display (shown in FIG. 22) stored in the specific effect storage area 148 of the storage unit 144. Run. Note that the received schedule information is related to winning at the start winning opening 119, the result of the “big hit lottery” relating to the current fluctuation display is “big hit”, or even older than the received scheduled information. In the schedule information, if there is schedule information with the result of the “big hit lottery” as “big hit”, or if the game state at the time of starting the digestion of the schedule information is normal, the “fall down lottery” As a result, the result of “Large lottery” and the basic variation pattern may be confirmed. Even if any one of the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied, special hold information and confirmed hold information The specific display effect using the specific advance notice display or the success / failure notification display is not performed.

Hereinafter, specific examples of the specific display effect using the specific notice display and various notification displays will be described with reference to FIGS.
Here, consider a case in which schedule information that is related to winning in the electric accessory 165 with wing pieces and is the third hold information is transmitted from the main CPU 132 to the sub-integrated CPU 142. Upon receiving the schedule information, the sub-integrated CPU 142 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 147, and as a result of confirming the schedule information, the first specific condition and the second specific condition are satisfied, and If any one of the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied, it is determined that the hold information corresponding to the schedule information is special hold information (or confirmed hold information). Then, after the decorative symbol currently being displayed in a variable display is confirmed and displayed in the off-decorative symbol display mode upon reception of the stop command (FIG. 20A), special hold information (or fixed hold is received upon reception of the next start command). The change of the decorative symbol related to the hold information two items before (information) is started (FIG. 20B), but the predetermined during the variable display of the decorative symbol (between the start of the change and the final display) Is displayed on the symbol display unit 106 for a specific display time (for example, 1 second) for notifying the player that there is a possibility of winning the “falling lottery” (see FIG. 1). After 20 (c)), the decoration symbol is removed again when the stop command is received, and the display is confirmed and displayed in the decorative symbol display mode (FIG. 20 (d)). Thereafter, upon reception of the next start command, this time, the decoration symbol related to the hold information one before the special hold information (or the fixed hold information) is started (FIG. 21A), and the decoration At a predetermined advance notice timing during the change display of the symbol (between the start of change and the final display), a specific advance notice 161b different from the specific advance notice 161a is displayed on the design display unit 6 for a specific display time (for example, 1 second). After that, when the stop command is received again, the decorative symbol is removed and is finally displayed in the decorative symbol display mode (FIG. 21 (c)).

  After that, when the next start command is received, the decoration symbol related to the special hold information (or confirmed hold information) starts to be changed (FIG. 22A). At this time, if the third specific condition 1 among the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied (special hold information), the first decorative symbol (this embodiment) is started after the variation of the decorative symbol is started. Then, before temporarily displaying the decorative symbols displayed in the left symbol display area 106a, in other words, at a specific timing while all decorative symbols are variably displayed, the “falling lottery” is won and the variation A fall notification display 162 for notifying the player that the high probability state has ended and has returned to the normal state is displayed on the symbol display unit 106 for a specific notification time (for example, 3 seconds) (FIG. 22B). ). After that, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in order, and the decorative symbol is removed upon receipt of the stop command (or may be a specific decorative symbol display mode (falling decorative symbol display mode) for falling notification). Press to confirm.

  In addition, if the third specific condition 2 among the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied (determined hold information), the decorative symbol that is temporarily stopped after the start of the variation of the decorative symbol is displayed. The jackpot notification display 163 for notifying the player that the result of the “big hit lottery” related to the change is “big hit” is displayed on the symbol display unit 106 for a specific notification time at a specific timing before the stop display. (FIG. 22 (c)). Thereafter, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in order, and when the stop command is received, the decorative symbols are confirmed and displayed in a jackpot decorative symbol display mode.

Furthermore, if the third specific condition 3 among the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied (special hold information), the first decorative symbol is temporarily displayed after the decorative symbol change is started. At a specific timing before, the result of the “falling lottery” relating to the change is “out” and the result of the “hit lottery” is also “out”, that is, the gaming state changes with a high probability state. An invariant notification display 164 for notifying the player that it is neither “big hit” nor a “big hit” is displayed on the symbol display unit 106 for a specific notification time (FIG. 22D). Thereafter, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in order, and when the stop command is received, the decorative symbols are removed and fixedly displayed in the decorative symbol display mode.
Then, the specific display effect started when the special hold information (or fixed hold information) is determined is the various notification displays 162 during the decorative display of the decorative symbol related to the special hold information (or fixed hold information). 164, the jackpot notification display 163, and the subsequent display of the decorative symbol confirmation.
(Effects of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 101 as described above, in the high probability state in which the electric accessory 165 with the wings is likely to be in the open state and the electric accessory 165 with the wings is in the open state over a longer time than the normal state, for example, If special hold information that satisfies the special conditions such as winning the “fall lottery” that determines the continuation / termination of the high probability state and not winning the “big win lottery”, a special hold is generated. Specific notice display 161a, 161b for notifying the player that special hold information has occurred between the start of the change of the decorative symbol for the hold information to be digested before the information and the fixed display. Is displayed on the symbol display unit 106, and the special hold information is displayed during the period from the start of the change of the decorative symbol to the special hold information until the first decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. The "falling lottery" results fall broadcast display 162 and invariant broadcast display 164 for notifying the player of the of the display in the symbol display section 106. In other words, because the special hold information is displayed at a relatively early timing at the time of digestion, the result of the “falling lottery” is displayed at a point before the “falling lottery” result is displayed as in the conventional pachinko machine. The success or failure of the “falling lottery” is perceived by the player from the operation mode of the one-sided electric accessory 165, and the success / failure notification effect of the kite that originally stimulates the player ’s interest regarding the success or failure of the “falling lottery” There will be no problem of becoming. Furthermore, since the specific notice display 161a, 161b is displayed using the hold information having a higher priority of digestion than the special hold information, the player's interest is sufficiently determined as to which is the result of the “falling lottery” The pachinko machine 101 can be heated and can be played with high playability.

  In addition, in the high-probability state, when deferred hold information with a result of “big win lottery” is “big win”, special hold information is generated when deferring hold information that has a higher priority of digestion than confirmed hold information The same specific notice display 161a, 161b as the case where it did is displayed on the symbol display part 106. Therefore, by displaying the specific notice display 161a, 161b, not only the result of the “falling lottery” but also the result of the “big hit lottery” can be provided to the player, and the pachinko machine 101 can be played with a lot of fun. It can be greatly improved.

(Modifications of the present invention)
The configuration related to the pachinko machine of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the configuration of the pachinko machine as well as the configuration related to the specific performance does not depart from the spirit of the present invention. The range can be appropriately changed as necessary.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, only the case where the third hold information is special hold information is described. However, when the second hold information is special hold information, If the hold information is special hold information, the same control is executed (that is, the special notice display is displayed during the variable display related to the hold information before digesting the special hold information and the special hold information is displayed. Of course, it is possible to display a success / failure notification display when digesting the information.
Further, instead of displaying a different specific notice display for each hold information as in the pachinko machine of the above embodiment, the same specific notice display may be displayed repeatedly, or a specific notice displayed every time the hold information is digested. The number of displays may be increased, the display time of the specific notice display may be gradually increased each time the hold information is consumed, and what kind of specific notice display is displayed at what timing and for what time as appropriate Change setting is possible.

In addition, a plurality of specific notice displays are set, and the selection rate of which specific notice display is displayed is associated with which of the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied, and a predetermined specific notice display is displayed. In such a case, it is possible to perform a display effect that gives the player expectations that the jackpot notification displays 63 and 163 are likely to be displayed.
Furthermore, a display effect that prompts the player to operate the push buttons 25 and 125 before notifying the fall notification displays 62 and 162, the unchanged notification displays 64 and 164, and the jackpot notification displays 63 and 163 is executed. There is no problem even if the display 62, 63, 64, 162, 163, 164 corresponding to the type of the third specific condition established by the operation of the push buttons 25, 125 is displayed.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the specific notice display is always displayed when the “falling lottery” is won and when the “big hit lottery” is won, but the sub-integrated CPUs 42 and 142 display the specific notice display. It may be configured to determine by lottery whether or not the effect that has been performed is displayed, and when the “big hit lottery” is won, for example, if the basic variation pattern is I, a specific notice It is possible to change the design as to whether to display a specific notice display or whether to notify the jackpot notification display, such as performing a special display effect that does not display the display and the jackpot notification display.
In addition, in the above embodiment, the start command and the stop command are transmitted from the main control devices 30 and 130 to the sub control devices 40 and 140. However, only the start command is transmitted and the stop command is transmitted. The sub-control devices 40 and 140 may be configured to confirm and display the decorative symbols based on the time measured by the timers 44 and 144 from the reception of the start command.

In addition, whether or not any of the third specific conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied can be changed to the basic variation pattern without referring to the information on the result of the “falling lottery” or the result of the “big hit lottery” in the schedule information. It is also possible to refer only to such information, and there is no problem even if the control of referring only to the information related to the basic variation pattern is adopted as well as the control of the above embodiment.
In addition, when special hold information occurs, check the remaining time of the symbol variation time from the point of occurrence until the decorative symbol that is currently being displayed is confirmed, and there is sufficient time necessary for production. If it is determined that the information remains, a specific notice display may be displayed from the variable display where the special hold information is generated.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the symbol display units 6 and 106 are configured to display the hold display. However, a hold display unit dedicated to the hold display can be provided separately from the symbol display units 6 and 106. is there.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the control is divided into two control devices, the main control device and the sub-control device, but it may be configured to be controlled by one main control device, The memory means of the main control device may be provided with a symbol variation pattern storage region or a specific effect storage region, and when controlling with one main control device, it is not necessary to create schedule information or the like, but only hold information It suffices to execute control related to the specific effect.

In the above embodiment, the specific gaming state is set to a high probability state, and the result of the “big hit lottery” is likely to be “big hit”. If the game state in which the object 165 is likely to be in an open state and / or the game state in which the tulip-type electric accessory 17 or the electric accessory 165 with a wing piece is in the open state is caused to occur as a specific game state, it is not necessarily “a big hit lottery It is not necessary to create a situation where the result of “is likely to be a“ hit ”.
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although it has comprised so that the winning to the tulip type electric accessory 17 and the electric accessory 165 with a wing piece may be prioritized, the structure which displays a specific advance notice display or a success-and-failure notification display is shown. The present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine in which the mouths 19 and 119 and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 or the electric accessory 165 with wing pieces have no priority in digestion. Furthermore, the electric prize winning component does not necessarily need to be the tulip type electric accessory 17 or the electric accessory 165 with a wing piece, and is an electric prize winning component having a door body such as the big prize winning device 18 or the big prize winning attacker 118. There is no problem even if it exists.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the symbol display unit 6 is used as the notice unit and the success / failure notification unit, and when the special hold information is generated, the specific notice display 61a, 61b, 161a, 161b is displayed on the symbol display unit 6, 106, The configuration is such that the success / failure notification displays such as the fall notification displays 62 and 162 and the invariant notification displays 64 and 164 are displayed on the symbol display units 6 and 106. It is also possible to use a notification means. For example, the decorative lamps 72, 72,..., 172, 172,... Are used as the warning means and the electric accessories 71 and 171 are used as the success / failure notification means, and the decorative lamps are displayed instead of displaying the specific warning display 61a, 61b, 161a, 161b. 72, 72,..., 172, 172,... Can be configured to operate in a predetermined manner instead of turning on / flashing in a predetermined manner or displaying a success / failure notification display. It is. Needless to say, it is possible to notify the player by combining the operation of the electric accessories 71 and 171 and the decorative lamps 72, 72... 172, 172 .. and the display on the symbol display units 6 and 106. Is possible.
Furthermore, there is no problem even if a special member is separately installed as the notice means or the success / failure notification means.

In the second embodiment, the c2 counter has the roles of a random number for determining the jackpot type and the random number for determining the big hit type. However, the c2 counter is specialized for the random number for determining the big hit type, and a random number for determining the big hit type separately. It is also possible to configure the main CPU 132 to have an f counter.
Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the result of the “hit lottery” was “hit” when the game ball was won at the start winning opening 119 and when the game ball was won at the electric accessory 165 with wing pieces. In this case, the probability that either the first specific jackpot or the second specific jackpot is not a non-specific jackpot (the probability that a particular jackpot state that makes it easy to win a game ball to the V winning attacker 117 will occur, and in turn (Probability that the gaming state can be expected to occur) is the same, but the probability is different depending on whether the game ball has won the start winning opening 119 and the case where the game ball has won the electric accessory 165 with a wing piece. Is also possible. For example, when a game ball wins the wing-piece electric accessory 165, when the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, compared to the case where the game ball wins the start winning opening 119, the V winning attacker You may make it the probability that it will become either the 1st specific jackpot or the 2nd specified jackpot that becomes easy to win a game ball to 117.

Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a plurality of special symbol display units so that the special symbols to be changed / determined are changed based on the difference in the components of the game balls won. For example, in the first embodiment, the special symbol display unit for changing / determining the display may be different between the tulip-type electric accessory 17 and the start winning opening 19, and in the second embodiment, the starting winning opening 119 and the wing piece are attached. You may comprise so that the special symbol display part made to change / confirm display may differ with the electrically-driven accessory 165. FIG.
Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the winning opening provided in the V winning attacker 117 is set as a special area. However, the winning opening and the special area are provided separately, and the winning of the game ball to the winning opening and the gaming ball are provided. The passage of the special area may be detected separately. Further, in such special movable means, a first movable member that opens and closes both the prize opening and the special region, and a second movable member that opens and closes only the special region inside the first movable member are provided. It is also possible to adopt a configuration, and in the special game state in which the first movable member is opened, the total of the game balls that have won the winning opening and the game balls that have passed through the special area has reached a predetermined number Control is performed to close the first movable member (therefore, depending on the opening / closing state of the second movable member, the first movable member may be closed even if there is no game ball that has passed through the special region). It is also possible to configure.
In addition, in the above embodiment, a pachinko machine that uses two types of symbols, a special symbol and a decorative symbol, is described. If a pachinko machine uses only a special symbol, a special symbol is displayed on the symbol display unit. It is also possible to configure so as to.
