Next, the arrangement of various members in the game area YBa of the game board YB will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, on the game area YBa of the present embodiment, when the game ball is fired in the left-handed direction UH1 so that the game ball rolls on the left side of the effect display device 11, the game ball is A left game area that can roll, a right game area that can be rolled when the game ball is fired in the right-handed direction UH2 so that the game ball rolls on the right side of the effect display device 11, and Is configured. These left game area and right game area are constituted by obstacle members that change the rolling direction of the game ball by the collision of the game ball, such as the effect display device 11 and the obstacle nail. Incidentally, as to which of the left game area and the right game area the game ball rolls, the player can turn the firing handle Y6a to turn the left-handed direction UH1 or the right-handed direction UH2. It is possible to adjust depending on whether or not the game ball is launched. In the following description, “to play a game in the left game area” means to play a game by firing a game ball in the left-handed direction UH1. Similarly, “playing a game in the right game area” means launching a game ball in the right-handed direction UH2 to play a game.

  In the left game area of the game area YBa, a left gate 37L, a left non-electric prize-winning device 17, a starting prize-winning device 15, an electric prize-winning device 23, an upper prize winning port 33, and a lower major prize winning port 35 are arranged. . That is, when a game is played in the left game area, the released game balls are the left gate 37L, the left non-electric prize-winning device 17, the start prize-winning device 15, the electric prize-winning device 23, the upper grand prize winning port 33, and the lower major prize winning port 35. A game ball can enter. On the other hand, when a game is played in the left game area, the launched game ball cannot enter the right gate 37R and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 in principle.

  In the right game area of the game area YBa, a right gate 37R, a right non-electric prize-winning device 20, an electric prize-winning device 23, an upper prize winning port 33, and a lower major prize winning opening 35 are arranged. That is, when a game is played in the right game area, the released game balls enter the right gate 37R, the right non-electric prize-winning device 20, the electric prize-winning device 23, the upper major prize winning port 33, and the lower major prize winning port 35. Can be a sphere. On the other hand, when a game is played in the right game area, the launched game balls cannot in principle enter the left gate 37L, the left non-electric prize-winning device 17, and the start prize-winning device 15.

  Thus, the electric prize-winning device 23 is arranged in an area (common area) belonging to both the left game area and the right game area. For this reason, it is possible to displace the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 from the closed state to the open state regardless of whether the game is performed in the left game area or the right game area. ing. By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, regardless of whether the game is performed in the left game area or the right game area, the same ball entering rate (the game balls that have been launched enter the electric winning device 23). The obstacle member is arranged in the game area YBa so that the game ball can enter the electric winning device 23 with a probability.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when playing a game in the left game area, a game ball cannot enter the right non-electric prize-winning device 20, but on the start prize-winning device 15 or the left non-electric prize-winning device 17. A game ball can enter. Therefore, when playing a game in the left game area, the start condition of the first special symbol variation game can be acquired, while the start condition of the second special symbol variation game cannot be acquired. For this reason, when a game is played in the left game area, the first special symbol variation game is basically performed.

  Further, when a game is played in the right game area, a game ball cannot enter the start winning device 15 or the left non-electric prize-winning device 17, while a game ball can enter the right non-electric prize-winning device 20. Therefore, when playing a game in the right game area, the start condition for the second special symbol variation game can be acquired, while the start condition for the first special symbol variation game cannot be acquired. For this reason, when a game is played in the right game area, the second special symbol variation game is basically performed.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the upper large winning opening 33 and the lower large winning opening 35 are arranged in an area (common area) belonging to both the left game area and the right game area. For this reason, it is possible to enter a game ball into the upper large winning opening 33 or the lower large winning opening 35 regardless of whether the game is performed in either the left game area or the right game area. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, regardless of whether the game is performed in either the left game area or the right game area, the same game entry rate (the game balls that have been launched enter the big winning openings 33 and 35). The obstacle member is arranged in the game area YBa so that the game ball can enter the winning prize openings 33 and 35 with a probability of ball).

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game state changes (improves) from a normal low probability lottery state to a high probability lottery state with a higher probability than normal, and a probability variation state in which a big hit lottery is performed. (Hereinafter referred to as “probability change state”). When it is not in the probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as “non-probability variation state”), it is more difficult to win the big hit lottery than in the probability variation state. In other words, when the probability variation state, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is high, so that the big hit game is likely to occur. Therefore, it can be said that the player is in an advantageous state for the player when the probability variation state. Note that the probability variation state in the present embodiment is a certain probability variation upper limit (50 in the present embodiment) until the execution of the special symbol variation game ends or until the probability variation state ends. Until the number of hits is reached, the game continues until a big hit game is created.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the gaming state may be in a variation time shortening state (hereinafter referred to as “shortening state”) that is advantageous to the player. When in the variable state, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shortened as compared to when not in the variable state (hereinafter referred to as “non-variable state”). In the variable state, the winning probability of the normal lottery varies (improves) from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability as compared to the non-variable state. Further, when the variable speed state is set, the open time of the electric open / close blade 24 becomes longer than when the variable speed state is not set. For this reason, the open time of the electric opening / closing blades 24 per unit time is longer in the variable state than in the non-variable state. As a result, the probability that a game ball enters the electric winning device 23 is higher in the variable state than in the non-variable state. In this way, when in the variable speed state, it can be said that the entrance rate of the game ball to the electric winning device 23 is high because the entrance rate of the game ball has a high probability. On the other hand, when it is in the non-changeable state, it can be said that the entrance rate of the game balls to the electric winning device 23 has a low probability, so it can be said that the non-entry rate improvement state (not the entrance rate improvement state). Note that the variable state in the present embodiment is from when the variable state is reached until the execution of the special symbol variation game for a predetermined variable upper limit number of times (in this embodiment, 50 times) is completed. Or, it continues until the big hit game is generated until the upper limit number of times of change is reached.

  In addition, if the time and frequency | count that the electric prize-winning device 23 will be in an open state per unit time can be increased more than usual, it is possible to improve the rate of game balls entering the electric prize-winning device 23. For this purpose, if the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game is made shorter than usual, the number of normal symbol variation games executed per unit time increases, so that the electric winning device 23 is released per unit time. It becomes possible to increase the number of times of entering the state. In addition, if the winning probability of the normal lottery is set to be higher than usual, it is possible to increase the number of times that the electric winning device 23 is opened per unit time. Also, if the time during which the electric winning device 23 is in the open state during the normal winning game is longer than usual, the time during which the electric winning device 23 is in the open state per unit time can be increased. That is, “to shorten the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game”, “to increase the winning probability of the normal winning lottery” and “to increase the time in which the electric winning device 23 is in the open state in the normal winning game If at least one element is included, it is possible to improve the rate of entry of game balls into the electric winning device 23. The variable state in the present embodiment may include at least one element even if it does not include all of the above elements.

Next, based on FIGS. 4A and 4B, the types of jackpots defined in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
The big hit game is started (started) after the big hit symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 or the second special symbol display device 13 in a definite stop display. A predetermined opening effect is performed on the effect display device 11, the decoration lamp La, and the speaker Sp until the time set as the opening time elapses after the big hit game is started. In addition, after the elapse of the time set as the opening time, the round game in which the upper prize winning opening 33 or the lower prize winning opening 35 is opened is limited to a predetermined number of rounds (in the present embodiment, 16 rounds, 11 rounds). Round or 7 rounds). During one round game, the special winning openings 33 and 35 have a predetermined time (round game time) until a specified number of balls (upper limit number of balls, 9 in this embodiment) enter the game balls. It is released until it passes. Further, during the round game, a predetermined round effect is performed by the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, and the speaker Sp. Then, after the predetermined number of round games are completed, a predetermined ending effect is performed on the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, and the speaker Sp until the time set as the ending time elapses. .

  As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when a big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from five types of big hits. Then, the big win game is generated by controlling the opening and closing of the big winning openings 33 and 35 in an opening / closing manner associated with the determined type of the big hit. Which of the five types of jackpots is determined is determined in accordance with the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won.

  By the way, when determining the jackpot symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 (when winning the jackpot lottery triggered by the game ball entering the start winning device 15 or the left non-electric winning device 17) The special symbol Za1 is determined with a probability of 25% (indicated as “selection rate” in FIGS. 4A and 4B), and the special symbol Za2 is determined with a probability of 25%. Further, when determining the jackpot symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12, the special symbol Za3 is determined with a probability of 25%, and the special symbol Za4 is determined with a probability of 25%. In addition, when determining a big hit symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 (when winning a big hit lottery triggered by a game ball entering the right non-electric winning device 20), the special symbol Zb is Determined (determined with a probability of 100%).

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the big hit game that occurs when the special symbol Za1 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is a big hit game in which “16 times” is set as the prescribed number of rounds. It is. Hereinafter, the jackpot game that occurs when the special symbol Za1 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is referred to as “16R jackpot”. In addition, in the round game of the first to fifteenth times (indicated as “1R to 15R” in FIG. 4A) for the 16R big hit, the top grand prize winning opening 33 is opened, and in the sixteenth time (in FIG. 4A). In the round game (shown as “16R”), it is determined that the lower prize winning opening 35 is opened. In addition, the round game time of all (1st to 16th) round games in 16R big hit is set to “25 seconds”.

  The jackpot game that occurs when the special symbol Za2 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is a jackpot game in which “11” is set as the prescribed number of rounds.

  Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to about 100. For this reason, the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 seconds”. That is, even if the lower major prize opening 35 is opened for “0.2 seconds”, it is very difficult to allow a game ball to enter the lower major prize opening 35 during the opening. In other words, even if the lower university winning opening 35 is opened for “0.2 seconds”, it is not expected that a gaming ball is inserted into the lower university winning opening 35 to obtain a winning ball. On the other hand, when the big winning openings 33 and 35 are opened for “25 seconds”, not only one gaming ball but also nine gaming balls that are the upper limit of the number of entering the winning prize openings 33 and 35 are entered. Easy to make a ball. That is, when the big winning openings 33 and 35 are opened for “25 seconds”, it is expected that the winning balls 33 and 35 are inserted into the winning prize openings 33 and 35 to obtain the winning balls.

  The jackpot game that occurs when the special symbol Za4 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is a jackpot game in which “11 times” is defined as the prescribed number of rounds. Hereinafter, the jackpot game that is generated when the special symbol Za4 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is referred to as “substantial 10R jackpot”. In addition, it is stipulated that the upper prize winning opening 33 is opened in the first to tenth round games, and the lower prize winning opening 35 is opened in the eleventh round game for a substantial 10R big hit. In addition, the round game time of the first to tenth round games in a substantial 10R big hit is defined as “25 seconds”, and the round game time of the eleventh round game is defined as “0.2 seconds”.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the bonus game that occurs when the special symbol Zb is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 is set to "7 times" as the prescribed number of rounds. It is a big hit game. Hereinafter, the big hit game that occurs when the special symbol Zb is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 is referred to as “7R big hit”. In addition, for the 7R big hit, in the first to sixth rounds (shown as “1R to 6R” in FIG. 4B), the top prize winning opening 33 is opened, and in the seventh round (FIG. 4B). In the round game (shown as “7R”), it is determined that the lower prize winning opening 35 is opened.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
In the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a makes a first entry determination as to whether or not a game ball has entered the start winning device 15 or the left non-electric winning device 17. In the first ball entry determination, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start port switch SW1a or the first start port switch SW1b detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the first entry determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to a process related to the second entry determination described later. On the other hand, when the determination result of the first entry determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the first reservation storage number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number of four. Perform upper limit judgment. If the determination result of the first hold upper limit determination is negative (first hold stored number = 4), the main control CPU 40a proceeds to a process related to the second entry determination described later.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first hold upper limit determination is affirmative (first hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the first hold memory number and rewrites the first hold memory number. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting mode of the first hold light emitting unit forming the first special symbol hold display device 30 so as to represent the first hold stored number after 1 addition. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a acquires various random number values from the main control RAM 40c and the random number generator 40d and stores them in a predetermined storage area (storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number) of the main control RAM 40c. To do. At this time, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the jackpot determination random number from the random number generator 40d, and acquires the special symbol distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 40c. To do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to a process related to the second entry determination.

  When performing the process related to the second entry determination, the main control CPU 40a performs the second entry determination as to whether or not a game ball has entered the right non-electric prize-winning device 20. In the second entry determination, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a detection signal to be output when the second start port switch SW2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the second entry determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second entry determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the second reservation storage number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number of four. Perform upper limit judgment. When the determination result of the second hold upper limit determination is negative (second hold memory number = 4), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the second hold upper limit determination is affirmative (second hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the second hold memory number and rewrites the second hold memory number. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting mode of the second reserved light emitting unit forming the second special symbol hold display device 31 so as to represent the second reserved memory number after the addition of 1. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a acquires various random number values from the main control RAM 40c and the random number generator 40d and stores them in a predetermined storage area (a storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number) of the main control RAM 40c. To do. At this time, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the jackpot determination random number from the random number generator 40d, and acquires the special symbol distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 40c. To do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
In the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the special symbol variation game or the big hit game is being executed. When the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative, that is, when the special symbol variation game or the big hit game is being played, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the in-execution determination is negative, that is, when the special symbol variation game is not being played and the big hit game is not being played, the main control CPU 40a reads the second reserved memory number, and the second reserved memory number is The second holding presence / absence determination is made as to whether or not it is larger than “0 (zero)”. When the determination result of the second hold presence / absence determination is affirmative (second hold memory number> 0), the main control CPU 40a performs a second special symbol variation process related to the execution of the second special symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second holding presence / absence determination is negative (second holding memory number = 0), the main control CPU 40a reads the first holding memory number, and the first holding memory number is “0 (zero)”. The first hold presence / absence determination is made as to whether or not it is greater than “”. When the determination result of the first hold presence / absence determination is affirmative (first hold stored number> 0), the main control CPU 40a performs a first special symbol variation process related to the execution of the first special symbol variation game. On the other hand, if the determination result of the first hold presence / absence determination is negative (first hold stored number = 0), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

Here, the first special symbol variation process will be described.
When performing the first special symbol variation process (second reserved memory number = 0, first reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 40a decrements the first reserved memory number by one. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting mode of the first hold light emitting unit forming the first special symbol hold display device 30 so as to represent the first hold stored number after subtraction. After that, the main control CPU 40a reads the values of various random numbers (a big hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, a reach determination random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number) stored in a predetermined storage area. The random number reading process is performed. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery) as to whether or not the big hit. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number read in the first random number reading process matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state when in the probability variation state, and performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the non-probability variation state in the non-probability variation state. The jackpot lottery in the first special symbol variation process corresponds to the jackpot lottery and the first bonus lottery when the first special symbol variation game is executed. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a that performs the big hit lottery which is the first win lottery functions as the first win lottery means in the present embodiment.

  When the big win lottery in the first special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a makes the first special symbol display device 12 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number read in the first random number reading process. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the type of jackpot symbol at a selection rate preset in the main control ROM 40b. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a determines the special symbol Za1 with a probability of 25%, the special symbol Za2 with a probability of 25%, the special symbol Za3 with a probability of 25%, and the special symbol Za4 with a probability of 25%. By determining the jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot is determined. Thus, the main control CPU 40a that determines the type of jackpot to be generated when the first winning lottery is won corresponds to the first winning seed determining means in the present embodiment. Further, the main control ROM 40b in which the probability of determining the type of the big hit game as the hit game state to be generated when winning the first win lottery functions as the first probability setting means in the present embodiment. .

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a generates a variation pattern based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read out in the first random number reading process from among the variation patterns for the jackpot effect classified into the first variation pattern. decide.

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery in the first special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs reach determination (reach lottery) as to whether or not to perform a reach effect. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the reach determination random number value read in the first random number read process matches the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b.

  Then, when the reach lottery in the first special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the off symbol as the special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a changes the variation pattern based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the first random number reading process from the variation patterns for the outlier reach effect classified into the first variation pattern. To decide.

  On the other hand, when the reach lottery in the first special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines a special symbol to be displayed as a special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 to be stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a changes the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number read out in the first random number reading process from the variation patterns for the off-normal effects classified into the first variation pattern. To decide.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the first special symbol variation process, the main control CPU 40a performs various processes such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control CPU 41a. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a firstly outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern and instructing the start of the decorative symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 12 so that the special symbols are variably displayed and the first special symbol variation game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a starts measuring the variation time of the first special symbol variation game, and outputs a special symbol designation command for designating a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped to the effect control CPU 41a. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the first special symbol variation process and the special symbol start process.

  Further, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a causes the special symbol determined as the special symbol to be confirmed and stopped when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed to be confirmed and stopped. Thus, the display content of the first special symbol display device 12 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs an end command for ending the decorative symbol variation game when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

Next, the second special symbol variation process will be described.
When performing the second special symbol variation process (second reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the second reserved memory number. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting mode of the second reserved light emitting unit forming the second special symbol hold display device 31 so as to represent the second reserved memory number after the subtraction. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a reads out the values of various random numbers (a big hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, a reach determination random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number) stored in a predetermined storage area. The random number reading process is performed. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery) as to whether or not the big hit. At this time, as in the first special symbol variation process, the main control CPU 40a matches the jackpot determination random number read in the second random number read process with the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. It is determined whether or not. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state when in the probability variation state, and performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the non-probability variation state in the non-probability variation state. Note that the jackpot lottery in the second special symbol variation process corresponds to the jackpot lottery and the second bonus lottery when the second special symbol variation game is executed. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a that performs the big hit lottery that becomes the second winning lottery functions as the second winning lottery means in the present embodiment.

  Then, when the big win lottery in the second special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a gives the second special symbol display device 13 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number read in the second random number reading process. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the type of jackpot symbol at a selection rate preset in the main control ROM 40b. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a determines the special symbol Zb. By determining the jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot is determined. Thus, the main control CPU 40a that determines the type of jackpot to be generated when the second winning lottery is won corresponds to the second winning seed determining means in the present embodiment. In addition, the main control ROM 40b in which the probability of determining the type of the big hit game as the hit game state to be generated when the second win lottery is won functions as the second probability setting means in the present embodiment. .

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a selects a variation pattern based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read out in the second random number reading process from the variation patterns for the big hit effect classified into the second variation pattern. decide.

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery in the second special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs reach determination (reach lottery) as to whether or not to perform a reach effect. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the reach determination random number value read in the second random number reading process matches the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b.

  Then, when the reach lottery in the second special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13. After that, the main control CPU 40a changes the variation pattern based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the second random number reading process from the variation patterns for the outlier reach effect classified into the second variation pattern. To decide.

  On the other hand, when the reach lottery in the second special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines a symbol that is not the special symbol to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 13 to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a changes the variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number read out in the second random number reading process from the variation patterns for the off-normal effects classified into the second variation pattern. To decide.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the second special symbol variation process, the main control CPU 40a performs various processes such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control CPU 41a. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a firstly outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern and instructing the start of the decorative symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a controls the display content of the second special symbol display device 13 so that the special symbols are variably displayed and the second special symbol variation game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a starts measuring the variation time of the second special symbol variation game, and outputs a special symbol designation command for designating a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped to the effect control CPU 41a. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the second special symbol variation process and the special symbol start process.

  Further, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a causes the special symbol determined as the special symbol to be confirmed and stopped when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed to be confirmed and stopped. Thus, the display content of the second special symbol display device 13 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs an end command for ending the decorative symbol variation game when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

Next, a description will be given of the big hit game process performed by the main control CPU 40a after the end of the special symbol variation game to be won when the big hit lottery is won.
In the big hit game process, the main control CPU 40a first outputs an opening command for instructing execution of the opening effect to the effect control CPU 41a, and measures the opening time. Next, the main control CPU 40a controls each round game after the opening time has elapsed. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the opening and closing of the big winning openings 33, 35 based on the opening / closing control information corresponding to the determined type of jackpot. Also, at the start of each round game, a round command indicating the start of the round game is output to the effect control CPU 41a. The main control CPU 40a outputs an ending command for instructing execution of the ending effect to the effect control CPU 41a when the final round game (in the present embodiment, the 16th time, the 11th time, or the 7th time) is completed. Measure the ending time. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At this time, 16R big hit, 11R big hit, real 15R big hit or real 10R big hit is generated after the first special symbol variation game is big hit, while 7R big hit is generated after the second special symbol variation game is big hit. The main control CPU 40a functions as a hit generating means in this embodiment. In addition, “substantial” in the name of the jackpot game in the present embodiment means the number of round games that are assumed to allow a maximum number of game balls to be entered into the grand prize opening than the prescribed number of rounds. Means less. In the name of the jackpot game of the present embodiment, the number following “substantially” means the number of round games that are assumed to allow the number of game balls for the upper limit number of balls to be entered into the big prize opening. doing.

Next, an information setting process performed by the main control CPU 40a for setting various game states such as a probability change state and a variable state will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives a detection signal output when the lower count switch SW4b detects a game ball, the main control CPU 40a stores the privilege information in the main control RAM 40c.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a resets the probability variation limiter when generating the big hit game (sets the probability variation limiter to “0 (zero)”). Further, the main control CPU 40a resets the variable limiter when generating a big hit game (sets the variable limiter to “0 (zero)”).

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a finishes the big hit game, if the privilege information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a sets the maximum probability variation limit number (in this embodiment, “50 times”). To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a erases the privilege information stored in the main control RAM 40c. Further, every time the special symbol variation game is terminated, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the value of the probability variation limiter if the value set in the probability variation limiter is “1 or more”, and rewrites the value of the probability variation limiter. .

  Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a change upper limit number of times (in the present embodiment, “50 times”) in the change limiter after the big hit game based on all types ends. Further, each time the special symbol variation game ends, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the value of the variable limiter if the value set in the variable limiter is “1 or more”, and Rewrite the value.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the probability variation state corresponds to a privilege advantageous to the player, and the probability variation state corresponds to provision of the privilege. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that grants a privilege by setting a value of 1 or more to the probability variation limiter functions as a privilege grant unit.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the privilege information is stored in the main control RAM 40c when the game ball is detected by the lower count switch SW4b. Thereafter, if the bonus information is stored in the main control RAM 40c when the jackpot game is ended, the bonus game is given after the jackpot game is finished, and the bonus is given. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball is detected by the lower count switch SW4b, a privilege is given, so that the player enters the lower big prize opening 35. The passage in which the lower count switch SW4b that can be used corresponds to the privilege trigger means. In the present embodiment, an open mode in which the lower large winning opening 35 is opened up to the upper limit of time “25 seconds” during which a game ball can easily enter the lower large winning opening 35 is an entry to the bonus opportunity means. This corresponds to an open mode in which a sphere is allowed. And in this embodiment, 16R big hit, 11R big hit, and 7R big hit including the opening aspect which accept | permitted to the privilege opportunity means correspond to a specific hit game state, and the releasing aspect which accept | permits the privilege opportunity means. 15R jackpot and 15R jackpot that do not include the game number correspond to the non-specific gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, the state where the lower large prize opening door 34 is in the open state with “25 seconds” as the upper limit corresponds to the first state in which the entry into the privilege trigger means is permitted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the state in which the lower large prize opening door 34 is opened with an upper limit of “0.2 seconds” and the state in which the lower large prize opening door 34 is in the closed state are entered into the bonus opportunity means. This corresponds to a second state where no sphere is allowed. And the lower large prize opening door 34 in this embodiment is equivalent to a distribution means. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability that a game ball enters the privilege trigger means varies depending on the type of jackpot game to be generated. Therefore, the probability of the game ball entering the privilege trigger means in the winning game state is determined based on the type of the big hit game being determined.

Next, the normal symbol input process will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the left gate 37L or the right gate 37R. The main control CPU 40a performs gate entry determination by determining whether or not a detection signal output when the left gate switch SW5L or the right gate switch SW5R detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of the gate entry determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the gate entry determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the normal hit determination random number from the random number generator 40d, and stores the acquired value in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c. Remember. Then, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the normal symbol is being executed or not during the normal symbol variation game or the normal hit game. When the determination result of the normal symbol execution determination is affirmative, that is, when the normal symbol variation game or the normal hit game is being played, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the normal symbol execution determination is negative, that is, when the normal symbol variation game is not being played and the normal hit game is not being played, the main control CPU 40a stores in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c. Reads the value of the normal hit judgment random number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a normal hit lottery to determine whether or not the read value of the normal hit determination random number matches the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. At this time, the main control CPU 40a performs the normal winning lottery using the normal hit determination value when the variable state is in the variable state, and when the variable state is in the non-variable state The normal hit lottery is performed using the normal hit judgment value.

  When the normal winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal winning symbol as the normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 36 at the end of the normal symbol changing game. On the other hand, when the normal winning lottery is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines the unusual symbol as the normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 36 at the end of the normal symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 40a that has determined the normal symbol to be confirmed and stopped displayed on the normal symbol display device 36 determines the variation time of the normal symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines a shorter time as the variation time of the normal symbol variation game when in the variable state, than when in the non-variable state.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a performs various processes related to the normal symbol variation game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the display contents of the normal symbol display device 36 so that the normal symbol variation game is started by variably displaying the normal symbol. Further, the main control CPU 40a starts measuring the variation time of the normal symbol variation game. Then, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

  Further, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a displays the normal symbol determined as the normal symbol to be confirmed and stopped when the determined variation time has elapsed so as to display the fixed symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Controls the display content of.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the normal winning lottery, the main control CPU 40a controls the opening and closing of the electric opening / closing blade 24 after the end of the normal symbol variation game to be won, thereby generating (giving) the normal winning game. To do. It should be noted that the main control CPU 40a increases the time for opening the electric opening / closing blade 24 when the normal hit game occurs in the variable state as compared with the non-variable state.

  Incidentally, the number of times that the electric opening / closing blade 24 is opened with respect to one normal lottery win without changing the opening time of the electric opening / closing blade 24 per time depending on whether or not it is in a variable state. If the number is increased, the time for opening the electric opening / closing blade 24 can be lengthened. In addition, the opening time per opening / closing of the electric opening / closing blades 24 can be changed without changing the number of times the electric opening / closing blades 24 are opened in response to the normal lottery. If the length is increased, the time for opening the electric opening / closing blade 24 can be lengthened. Of course, if the number of times that the electric opening / closing blades 24 are opened with respect to one normal lottery win is increased, and the opening time of the electric opening / closing blades 24 is made longer than that in the non-variable short state. The time for opening the electric opening / closing blade 24 in the variable state can be lengthened.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the normal winning lottery that is a lottery for determining whether or not the electric winning device 23 is in the open state corresponds to the open lottery. The main control CPU 40a that performs the normal lottery function functions as an open lottery means in the present embodiment. Further, when the normal winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a for controlling the open / closed state of the electric winning device 23 functions as an operation control means in the present embodiment.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the number of game balls entering the left non-electric prize winning device 17 and the number of game balls entering the right non-electric prize winning device 20 are larger than expected. An error effect is executed. This error effect is executed by the decorative lamp La.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the left non-electric prize winning device 17 is in the open state, the first specified number of game balls enter the left non-electric prize winning device 17 to be in the closed state. Similarly, when the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 is in an open state, the second specified number of game balls enter the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 to enter a closed state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the time from when the left non-electric prize winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize winning device 20 are opened until the game ball enters the electric prize winning device 23. In addition, when at least one of the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 has more than the specified number (more than expected) of game balls, an error effect is executed. By executing this error effect, it is notified that there is a possibility that the game ball may be illegally entered into the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 or the right non-electric prize-winning device 20.

  Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number (first error number) that is the trigger for executing the error effect by entering the game ball into the left non-electrical prize winning device 17 is set to “4”. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number (second error number) that triggers the execution of an error effect by entering a game ball into the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 is set to “4”.

Hereinafter, the non-electrical prize winning hole error process performed by the main control CPU 40a to execute an error effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the electric prize-winning device 23 in the non-electric prize-winning slot error process (step S11). In step S <b> 11, the main control CPU 40 a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the electric prize opening switch SW <b> 3 detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S13. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a resets the first non-electric prize count and the second non-electric prize count stored in the main control RAM 40c (step S12), and step S13. Proceed to the process. In step S12, the main control CPU 40a sets "0 (zero)" for the first non-electrical winning count and "0 (zero)" for the second non-electrical winning count. By resetting the first non-electrical winning count in step S12, the first non-electrical winning count is set such that a gaming ball enters the electric winning device 23 and then a gaming ball enters the electric winning device 23. Until then, the number of game balls that have entered the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 is set. In addition, by resetting the second non-electrical winning count in step S12, the second non-electrical winning count is calculated such that the game ball enters the electric winning device 23 after the game ball has entered the electric winning device 23. The number of game balls that have entered the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 before entering the ball is set.

  In step S <b> 13, the main control CPU 40 a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the left non-electric prize-winning device 17. In step S13, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a detection signal to be output when the first start port switch SW1b detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of step S13 is negative, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S17. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S13 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the first non-electric prize count stored in the main control RAM 40c, and rewrites the first non-electric prize count (step S14). . Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the first non-electrical winning count after rewriting is equal to or greater than the first error number (four in the present embodiment) (step S15). If the determination result of step S15 is negative, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S17. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a instructs execution of an error effect (error effect of the first effect content) and enters a game ball into the left non-electric prize-winning device 17. A first error command instructing that there is an abnormality is output to the effect control CPU 41a (step S16), and the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S <b> 17, the main control CPU 40 a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the right non-electric prize-winning device 20. In step S17, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start port switch SW2 detects a game ball is input. And when the determination result of step S17 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the non-electrical winning a prize opening error process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S17 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the second non-electric prize count stored in the main control RAM 40c, and rewrites the second non-electric prize count (step S18). . Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the second non-electrical winning count after rewriting is equal to or greater than the second error number (four in the present embodiment) (step S19). When the determination result of this step S19 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the non-electrical prize winning hole error process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S19 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a instructs execution of an error effect (error effect of the second effect content) and enters a game ball into the right non-electric prize-winning device 20. A second error command instructing that there is an abnormality is output to the effect control CPU 41a (step S20), and the non-electrical prize winning hole error process is terminated.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 41a of the effect control board 41 based on the control program stored in the effect control ROM 41b will be described.
When the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 41a determines the combination (display result) of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 according to the instruction content of the command. Specifically, when the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is designated, the effect control CPU 41a selects a combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from among the jackpot symbol combinations (for example, [222] and [777]). decide. In addition, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach production is designated, the effect control CPU 41a performs a decoration stop display from among outlier symbol combinations including the reach symbol combinations (for example, [323] and [676]). Determine the combination of symbols. In addition, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is designated, the effect control CPU 41a determines the combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from among the offending symbol combinations (for example, [122] and [426]).

  In addition, when the change pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to display the decorative symbols in each column in a variable manner and start the decorative symbol changing game. Then, when the end control CPU 41a inputs the end command, the display contents of the effect display device 11 are displayed so that the combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped (display result) is confirmed and stopped and the decorative symbol variation game is terminated. Control. The effect control CPU 41a controls the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La based on the designated variation pattern. In addition, the effect control CPU 41a controls the sound output mode of the speaker Sp based on the designated variation pattern.

  In addition, when the variation pattern classified into the first variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 41a decorates with the content of the representation different from the case where the variation pattern classified into the second variation pattern is designated. The display content of the effect display device 11, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp are controlled so as to execute the symbol variation game. Note that “different contents of effect” in the effect display device 11 means, for example, that the decoration pattern is different, the type of background image in the decoration pattern variation game is different, the characters that appear, and the like are different. In addition, “different contents of effect” in the decorative lamp La means, for example, that the emission color is different, the timing of emitting light is different, the brightness is different, and the like. In addition, “different production contents” in the speaker Sp means, for example, that the type of music that is output by voice is different, the tempo of the music that is output by voice is different, the volume is different, and the like.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that controls the execution of the first special symbol variation game in the first special symbol display device 12, and various effects (for example, the execution of the first special symbol variation game) (for example, The CPU 41a for effect control that controls the execution of the decorative symbol variation game) functions as a first game control means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that controls the execution of the second special symbol variation game in the second special symbol display device 13 and various effects (for example, decorative symbols) associated with the execution of the second special symbol variation game. An effect control CPU 41a that controls the execution of the (variable game) functions as a second game control means.

  When the opening command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the opening effect of the effect content corresponding to the type of jackpot that can be specified from the special symbol designation command. In addition, when the first round command is input, the production control CPU 41a executes the round production of the production content corresponding to the type of jackpot that can be specified from the special symbol designation command until the ending command is inputted. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. When the ending command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the ending effect of the effect content corresponding to the type of jackpot that can be specified from the special symbol designation command. When the opening command, each round command, and the ending command are input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp in addition to the effect display device 11.

  In addition, when the first error command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La so as to execute the error effect with the first effect content until a predetermined time elapses. Incidentally, when an error effect is performed with the first effect content, the decoration lamp La emits yellow light. In addition, when the second error command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La so as to execute the error effect with the second effect content until a predetermined time elapses. Incidentally, when an error effect is performed with the second effect content, the decoration lamp La emits red light.

  When the second error command is input during execution of the error effect with the first effect content, the effect control CPU 41a performs the error effect with the third effect content until a predetermined time elapses. The light emission mode of the decorative lamp La is controlled so as to be executed. When the first error command is input during execution of the error effect with the second effect content, the effect control CPU 41a performs the error effect with the third effect content until a predetermined time elapses. The light emission mode of the decorative lamp La is controlled so as to be executed. Incidentally, when the error effect is performed with the third effect content, the decoration lamp La emits orange light.

  When the first error command or the second error command is input, the effect control CPU 41a executes the effect if the decoration lamp La is executing an effect other than the error effect (for example, a notice effect). Is interrupted and error production is executed. That is, the effect control CPU 41a gives priority to the execution of the error effect over the execution of effects other than the error effect.

Here, the playability of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game ball enters one of the start winning device 15, the left non-electric winning device 17, and the right non-electric winning device 20, the first special symbol variation game or A second special symbol variation game is performed. When this special symbol variation game is a big hit, a big hit game is generated after the special symbol variation game is over. The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is in a variable state with an upper limit from the end of all the big hit games until the end of the execution of 50 special symbol variation games.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a game ball enters the lower big prize opening 35 during the big hit game, and the game ball is detected by the lower count switch SW4b. Up to the end of the execution of the special symbol variation game of the number of times, the probability variation state. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game ball does not enter the lower big prize opening 35 during the big hit game, the game ball is not detected by the lower count switch SW4b. After completion, it will not be in a probable state (non-probable state).

  Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, at the 16R big hit, the 11R big hit and the 7R big hit, by opening the lower big prize opening 35 with “25 seconds” as an upper limit, Allow entry. Thereby, in this embodiment, since it is assumed that 16R big hit, 11R big hit and 7R big hit are detected by the lower count switch SW4b, it is assumed that after the big hit game ends, the probability change state is assumed. It will be a big hit.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game balls to the lower major prize opening 35 are opened by opening the lower major prize opening 35 with an upper limit of “0.2 seconds” at the substantial 15R big hit and the substantial 10R big hit. Is not allowed. Thereby, in this embodiment, since it is assumed that the game ball is not detected by the lower count switch SW4b for the substantial 15R big hit and the substantial 10R big hit, after the big hit game is not finished (non-probable change). It will be a big hit that can be assumed).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is a big hit, the special symbol Za1 (16R big hit) with a probability of 25%, the special symbol Za2 (11R big hit) with a probability of 25%, The special symbol Za3 (substantial 15R big hit) is determined with a probability of 25%, and the special symbol Za4 (substantial 10R big hit) is determined with a probability of 25%. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is a big hit, the type of big hit that assumes that the big hit game will be in a promiscuous state is 50% (= 25% + 25). %), And a big hit of the type that assumes an uncertain change state after the big hit game ends is generated at 50% (= 25% + 25%). As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, after the jackpot game that occurs after the first special symbol variation game is a jackpot, the probability change state is 50% (= 25% + 25%). On the other hand, it can be assumed that a non-probable change state is established with a probability of 50% (= 25% + 25%).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the second special symbol variation game is a big hit, the special symbol Zb (7R big hit) is determined with a probability of 100%. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the second special symbol variation game is a big hit, a type of big hit (100%) that is assumed to be in a probabilistic state after the big hit game is surely generated (100%). The As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it can be assumed that after the big hit game that occurs after the second special symbol variation game is a big hit, it will be in a probable state with a probability of 100%.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the assumption as to whether or not the jackpot game will be in a promiscuous state changes depending on the opening and closing modes of the jackpots 33 and 35 during the jackpot game. . In addition, since the manner of opening and closing the big winning openings 33 and 35 during the big hit game varies depending on the type of the special symbol to be determined, it is assumed whether or not the big hit game will be in a probable state depending on the type of the special symbol. Changes.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the non-probable variation state is set to “1/200”, and the winning probability of the big hit lottery in the probabilistic state is set to “1/20”. As a result, the possibility of winning the big hit lottery within the period of change from the end of the big hit game varies depending on which of the probable change state and the non-probable change state.

  Here, based on FIG. 7A, the “probability change + shortening” state, which is a probability change state and a shortage state, and the number of times that the jackpot game can be expected to repeat (hereinafter ““ probability change + shortening ”). Will be described.

  The probability of not winning a single jackpot lottery in the probability variation state is obtained by dividing the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the reciprocal of the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the probability variation state by the reciprocal of the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the probability variation state. Can do. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the probability variation state is “1/20”, so the reciprocal of the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the probability variation state is “20”. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the possibility of not winning a single big hit lottery when in a probable variation state can be obtained by “(20-1) / 20”, and the value is “0.95”.

  In addition, if the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the probability variation state, the possibility that all of the 50 special symbol variation games in which the variable state continues will be out of place in the probability variation state will not The possibility of winning can be determined by raising the power of the number of special symbol variation games in which the number of times of variation continues. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, there is a possibility that all of the 50 special symbol variation games in which the variable win state continues when the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the probability variable state will be lost. , “0.95 ^ (50)” (where “^” indicates a power), and its value is “0.0769”. For this reason, the possibility of winning the big win lottery in the special symbol variation game within 50 times when the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the promiscuous state and the variable state continues is “1-0.0769” The value can be obtained and the value is “0.9231”.

  By the way, if a big hit lottery is performed with a winning probability in the probability variation state, the possibility that all 50 special symbol variation games in which the variation state continues will be lost in the “probability + variation” state. This means that there is a possibility of shifting to the “non-probable change + non-variable” state, which is a non-probable change state and a non-change state, without winning the lottery. On the other hand, the possibility of winning the big win lottery in the special symbol variation game within 50 times when the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the probable change state and the variable state continues, It means the possibility that a big hit game will occur before the transition to the “non-probable change + non-variable short” state.

  The number of consecutive resorts in the “probability + shortening” state is a case where the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the probabilistic state, and the special symbol variation game within 50 times in which the shortage state continues, wins the big win lottery. It can be obtained by an infinite geometric series with the possibility as a common ratio. Therefore, the number of consecutive games in the “probability + shortening” state in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can be obtained by “1 / (1−0.9231)”, and the value is “13”. .

  Next, based on FIG. 7B, the state of “non-probability change + short-change”, which is a non-probability change state and a change state, and the number of times that a big hit game can be expected to be repeated (hereinafter, “ + "Variable number of consecutive resorts in state") will be described.

  The possibility of not winning one big hit lottery in the non-probable state is to divide the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big win lottery in the non-probable state by the reciprocal of the winning probability of the big win lottery in the non-probable state. Can be obtained. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the non-probable variation state is “1/200”, and therefore the reciprocal of the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the non-probable variation state is “200”. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the possibility of not winning a single big hit lottery when in a non-probable change state can be obtained by “(200-1) / 200”, and the value Becomes “0.995”.

  In addition, when the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the non-probability change state, the possibility that all of the 50 special symbol variation games in which the change state continues will be lost once in the non-probability change state. The possibility of not winning the jackpot lottery can be obtained by raising the number of times of the special symbol variation game in which the variable state continues. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, all of the 50 special symbol variation games in which the odd winning state is performed with the winning probability in the non-probable variation state and the variable state continues may be lost. Can be obtained by “0.995 ^ (50)”, and its value is “0.7783”. For this reason, the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery in the special symbol variation game within 50 times where the jackpot lottery is performed with the winning probability in the non-probable variation state and the variable state continues is “1-0.7783”. The value is “0.2217”.

  By the way, the possibility that all of the 50 special symbol variation games in which the variable state continues in the case where the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the non-probable variable state will be in the “non-probable + variable” state. This means the possibility of shifting to the “non-probable change + non-variable short” state without winning the jackpot lottery. On the other hand, if the big win lottery is performed with the winning probability in the non-probable change state, the possibility of winning the big win lottery in the special symbol fluctuation game within 50 times where the variable state continues is in the “non-probable change + short change” state. It means the possibility that a big hit game will occur before the transition to the “non-probable change + non-change short” state.

  The number of consecutive resorts in the “non-probable change + shortening” state is the case where a big win lottery is performed with a winning probability in the non-probable change state, and the special symbol variation game within 50 times in which the shortage continues continues It can be determined by an infinite geometric series with the possibility of winning as a common ratio. For this reason, the number of consecutive resorts in the “non-probability + variation” state in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can be obtained by “1 / (1−0.2217)”, and the value is “1.285. "

Next, based on FIG. 7C, the number of times that the variable state and the big hit game are repeated when a game is played in the left game area (hereinafter referred to as “the number of consecutive games in the left game”) will be described. .
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a game is performed in the left game area, the first special symbol variation game is basically performed. In addition, as described above, after the jackpot game that occurs after the first special symbol variation game is a big hit, it becomes a “probable change + variable” state with a probability of 50%, and a “non-probable change with a probability of 50%. It is assumed that the “+ change” state is reached.

  The number of consecutive games in the left game is obtained by multiplying the number of consecutive games in the “probability + variation” state by the possibility of shifting to the “probability + variation” state, and the number of consecutive games in the “non-probability + variation” state. It can be obtained by adding a value obtained by multiplying the number of times by the possibility of shifting to the “non-probable change + shortening” state. For this reason, the number of consecutive games of the left game in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can be obtained by “(13 × 0.5) + (1.285 × 0.5)”, and the value is “7 "

Next, based on FIG. 7D, the number of times that the variable state and the big hit game are repeated when the game is played in the right game area (hereinafter referred to as “the number of consecutive games in the right game”) will be described. .
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game is played in the right game area, the second special symbol variation game is basically performed. In addition, as described above, after the big hit game that occurs after the second special symbol variation game is a big hit, it becomes a “probable change + variable” state with a probability of 100%, and a “non-probable change with a probability of 0%. It is assumed that the “+ change” state is reached.

  The number of consecutive games in the right game is the same as the number of consecutive games in the left game, and the value obtained by multiplying the number of consecutive games in the “probability + variation” state by the possibility of transition to the “probability + variation” state, It can be obtained by adding a value obtained by multiplying the number of consecutive resorts in the “non-probable change + shortening” state by the possibility of shifting to the “non-probable change + shortening” state. For this reason, the number of consecutive games of the left game in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment can be obtained by “(13 × 1.0) + (1.285 × 0.0)”, and the value is “13 "

  Next, based on FIG. 7 (e), when a game is played in the left game area, a profit that can be expected to be obtained by the player in the big hit game per game (hereinafter referred to as the unit output of the left game). Sphere ”). This profit is represented by the number of round games in which a maximum number of game balls can be entered.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a game is performed in the left game area, the first special symbol variation game is basically performed. For this reason, the big hit games that are expected to occur when a game is played in the left game area are 16R big hit, 11R big hit, substantial 15R big hit, and substantial 10R big hit.

  The 16R jackpot is obtained in 16 round games because it is possible to enter the maximum number of game balls in the 16 winning rounds 33, 35 in all 16 round games. It will be a big hit game in which the player is assumed to obtain possible prize balls. Similarly, the 11R jackpot can be made to enter the upper limit number of game balls 33 and 35 in all 11 round games, so in 11 round games This is a big hit game in which the player is assumed to acquire award balls that can be acquired.

  On the other hand, in the 15th round game of the first to the fifteenth rounds, it is possible to enter the upper limit number of game balls into the upper grand prize opening 33 in the first to the 15th round games. Since it is difficult to enter the game ball into the lower large winning opening 35 in the round game for the number of times, it is assumed that the player acquires a prize ball that can be acquired in the round game for 15 times. Similarly, in the 10th round game of the 1st to 10th games, it is possible to have the number of game balls for the upper limit number of balls entered into the upper grand prize opening 33 in the 10th round of the 10th round. In one round game, it is difficult to enter a game ball into the lower grand prize opening 35. Therefore, it is assumed that the player acquires a prize ball that can be obtained in ten round games. .

  The unit game for the left game is the probability that each jackpot game will be generated for the number of prize balls that the player is assumed to be able to win in each jackpot game that occurs when a game is played in the left game area. It can be obtained from the sum of the multiplied values. Therefore, the unit game of the left game in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is “(16 × 0.25) + (11 × 0.25) + (15 × 0.25) + (10 × 0. 25) ", and its value is" 13 ". That is, when a big hit is made when a game is being performed in the left game area, it is assumed that the player acquires a prize ball that can be acquired by 13 round games.

  Next, based on FIG. 7 (f), when a game is played in the right game area, a profit (hereinafter referred to as "right game unit output") that the player can expect to win in the big hit game per game. Sphere ”). This profit is represented by the number of round games in which a maximum number of game balls can be entered.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game is played in the right game area, the second special symbol variation game is basically performed. For this reason, the jackpot game that is supposed to occur when a game is played in the right game area is 7R jackpot. 7R jackpots can be earned in 7 round games, because it is possible to enter the maximum number of game balls in the 7 winning rounds 33, 35 in all 7 round games. This is a big hit game in which the player is assumed to win a prize ball.

  Then, the unit game for the right game is the same as the unit game for the left game, with the number of prize balls that the player is assumed to be able to acquire in each jackpot game that occurs when the game is played in the right game area. It can be obtained by the sum of values obtained by multiplying the probability that each jackpot game will occur. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game is played in the right game area, a 7R jackpot is generated with a probability of 100%, and can be calculated from “7 × 1.0”. Becomes “7”. In other words, when a big hit is made when a game is being played in the right game area, it is assumed that the player acquires a winning ball that can be acquired in seven round games.

  Further, in a general pachinko gaming machine 10, the occurrence of a big hit game in the “non-probable change + non-change short” state is referred to as “the start of the consecutive game state”, and after the end of the big hit game, the number of change upper limit times When the special symbol variation game is executed, the “non-probable change + non-variable short” state is set as “the end of the consecutive resort state”. During this consecutive villa state, it is assumed that the game will be continued by a single player because it will be one of a situation where the state is in a variable state and a situation where a big hit game is occurring .

  Here, based on FIGS. 7 (g) and 7 (h), it is assumed that the player can obtain a profit when the game is performed in the left game area from the start to the end of the extended game state (hereinafter, "Left-game play ball for left game") and profits that a player is assumed to be able to earn when a game is played in the right game area (hereinafter referred to as "play game for right game play") explain. This profit is represented by the number of round games in which a maximum number of game balls can be entered.

  As shown in FIG. 7G, the left game consecutive ball can be obtained by multiplying the left game consecutive ball number by the left game unit ball. For this reason, in the left game consecutive ball game in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the number of left game ball games is “7”, and the left game unit ball can be acquired in “13 round games” Since “the number of prize balls” is “7 × 13”, the value is “91”. In other words, when the game of the left game is “91”, when the game is performed in the left game area, the upper limit number of game balls 33, It means that it is assumed that 91 rounds of a round game that can be entered into 35 are performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (h), the right game consecutive ball can be obtained by multiplying the right game consecutive ball number by the right game unit ball. For this reason, in the right game area in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the number of right games is “13” and the right game unit is “7 rounds of games”. Since it is “the number of possible winning balls”, it can be obtained by “13 × 7”, and its value is “91”. In other words, if the game for the right game is “91”, it means that the game will be entered before the end of the game when the game for the right game is continued after the second special symbol variation game is a big hit. This means that it is assumed that 91 rounds of a round game in which an upper limit number of game balls can be entered into the grand prize winning openings 33 and 35 are assumed. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the left game consecutive ball and the right game ball are equivalent.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of consecutive games for the left game is “7”, while the number of games for the right game is “13”. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the unit game for the left game is “award ball that can be obtained by 13 round games”, while the unit game for the right game is “7 rounds”. Award balls that can be earned in games.

  For this reason, when playing a game in the left game area in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, compared to a case where a game is played in the right game area, the game is between the start and end of the extended game state. There is a tendency for the number of hit games to be generated to decrease. On the other hand, when playing a game in the left game area in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is assumed that it can be acquired when one big hit game is generated, compared with a case where a game is played in the right game area. Profits tend to increase.

  In other words, in the game in the left game area in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of jackpot games that are generated between the start and end of the consecutive villa state is small, but one game per jackpot game It is a game with a game characteristic (hereinafter referred to as “one-shot spec”) having a characteristic that the profit that can be obtained is large. On the other hand, the game in the right game area in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a large number of jackpot games that are generated from the start to the end of the reaming state, while the game per jackpot game It is a game with a game characteristic (hereinafter referred to as “sequential attack spec”) having a characteristic that the profit that can be obtained is small.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the playability differs depending on whether the game is performed in the left game area or the right game area, while the left game play ball and the right game play ball. Therefore, one of them is more advantageous (or disadvantageous) for the player than the other gameability. That is, the player can select a game by changing the operation mode of the firing handle Y6a without considering which of the two types of game is advantageous.

  It should be noted that the left game consecutive ball in this embodiment corresponds to an average expected profit triggered by the game ball entering the first non-electric opening / closing means, and the first non-electric opening / closing means. This is included in the first profit that the player can expect to acquire when the game ball enters. That is, the 1st profit in this embodiment is equivalent to being set up based on the consecutive play ball of a left game. In addition, all the elements that are elements in calculating the left game consecutive balls are the elements (bases) for setting the left game consecutive balls and the first profit including them. In addition, elements that are used in calculating the consecutive game of left games include “determining the type of jackpot game (the rate at which various jackpot games are determined)” and “entering a game ball. For example, the ratio of the state of the lower large prize opening door 34 for making the lower large prize opening 35 open for an easy time is included. In addition, “Profits that can be expected during the jackpot game caused by the first special symbol variation game being a big hit (number of prize balls)” or “Probability change (given a privilege)” Profits (the number of award balls) that a player can expect to earn ". Incidentally, the “determination of the type of jackpot game (the rate at which various types of jackpot games are determined)” includes the “probability that a game ball is detected by the lower count switch SW4b during the jackpot game”. Furthermore, what is referred to when calculating each element is also the element (base) set by the left game consecutive ball and the first profit including it. For example, the “profit that a player can expect to gain by entering a probable state (giving a privilege)” is calculated based on the winning probability of the jackpot lottery. It becomes an element (base) set by the consecutive ball and the first profit including it.

  Similarly, the consecutive game ball of the right game in the present embodiment corresponds to an average expected profit triggered by the game ball entering the second non-electric opening / closing means, and the second non-electric opening / closing means It is included in the second profit that the player can expect to acquire when the game ball enters into the game. That is, the 2nd profit in this embodiment is equivalent to being set up based on the consecutive game starting ball of right game. In addition, all of the elements that are used in calculating the right game consecutive balls are the elements (bases) for setting the right game consecutive balls and the second profit including them. In addition, the elements that are used in calculating the right game consecutive balls include “determining the type of jackpot game (the ratio at which various types of jackpot games are determined)” and “entering a game ball. For example, the ratio of the state of the lower large prize opening door 34 for making the lower large prize opening 35 open for an easy time is included. In addition, “Profits that can be expected during the jackpot game caused by the second special symbol variation game being a big hit (number of prize balls)” or “Probably changing (giving a privilege)” Profits (the number of award balls) that a player can expect to earn ". Furthermore, what is referred to when calculating each element is also an element (base) for setting the right game consecutive ball and the second profit including it. For example, “Profits that a player can expect to gain by being in a promising state (giving a privilege)” is calculated based on the winning probability of the jackpot lottery, so the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is also the right game It becomes an element (base) set by the consecutive ball and the second profit including it.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game display introduction effect is performed on the effect display device 11 when in the variable state. The game introduction effect is an effect that informs (introduces) to the player the game performance when playing a game in the left game area and the game performance when playing a game in the right game area. Further, the game introduction effect is an effect that indicates to the player a place (non-electric prize-winning device) where a game ball should be entered in order to realize a game with each game.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the game introduction introduction according to the present embodiment, it is notified that the game in the game in the left game area is “one-shot spec”. At the same time, in the game play introduction effect of the present embodiment, it is notified that the game play in the game in the right game area is the “continuous hit spec”. As shown in FIG. 8, when the game introduction effect is executed by the effect display device 11, the image display unit GH includes an arrow Y <b> 1 indicating the left side of the effect display device 11 and the right side of the effect display device 11. The pointing arrow Y2 is displayed. In the image display unit GH, the arrow Y1 is displayed so as to point to the left non-electric prize winning device 17. In the image display unit GH, the arrow Y2 is displayed so as to point to the right non-electric prize winning device 20. This allows the player to recognize where the game ball should be entered in order to realize a game with each game characteristic.

  The effect control RAM 41c of the present embodiment is configured to be able to store effect control change information that can be recognized as being in the variable state or not changing state. Therefore, the effect control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the game introduction effect when the effect control change information capable of recognizing the change state is stored. To do.

  Here, based on Fig.9 (a)-(h), the flow of the game in the pachinko game machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. In addition, both the non-electric prize-winning apparatuses 17 and 20 shall be a closed state at the time of Fig.9 (a).

  As shown in FIG. 9 (a), when a game ball passes (enters) the left gate 37L or the right gate 37R and wins the normal winning lottery, after the end of the normal symbol variation game to be won As shown in FIG. 9B, the electric prize winning device 23 is opened. When a game ball enters the electric winning device 23 when the electric winning device 23 is in the open state as shown in FIG. 9 (c), the left non-electric winning device as shown in FIG. 9 (d). 17 and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 are opened.

  Thereafter, when a game ball is launched into the left game area, as shown in FIG. 9 (e), the game ball enters the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 in an open state. As shown, you will play a game with one-shot specs. On the other hand, in the case of launching a game ball to the right game area, as shown in FIG. 9G, the game ball enters the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 that is in an open state. As shown, you will play a game with a continuous hit spec.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When a game ball enters the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 (first non-electric opening / closing means), the first special symbol variation game and the accompanying decorative symbol variation game ( A first variation game) is executed. On the other hand, when a game ball enters the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 (second non-electric opening / closing means), the second special symbol variation game and the accompanying decorative symbol variation game (second 2 fluctuation game) is executed. In addition, when a game ball enters the electric winning device 23 (electric opening / closing means), the game ball rolls to the rolling path 25 as an operation trigger means provided with the first movable lever 26 and the second movable lever 28. The left non-electric prize-winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 are configured to be opened when the ball moves (enters a ball). Furthermore, the left non-electrical prize winning device 17 and the right non-electrical prize winning device 20 are configured so that the player can operate the left non-electrical prize winning device 17 and the right non-electrical prize winning device 20 according to the operation mode of the firing handle Y6a (launching operation means). Of these, it is arranged so that a game ball can be fired to enter a non-electrical winning opening.

  For this reason, the left non-electric prize winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize winning are linked to the game ball entering the electric prize winning device 23 and the game ball rolling (entering) the rolling path 25. When the device 20 is in an open state, the player can select which non-electrical winning opening to aim at entering the game ball. That is, the first special symbol variation game (and the decoration symbol variation game accompanying the execution of the first special symbol variation game) and the second special symbol variation game (and the decoration symbol variation accompanying the execution of the second special symbol variation game) Game), the player can select which one to execute. With such new gameability that the player can select a special symbol variation game to be executed by changing the operation mode of the launch handle Y6a, it is possible to entertain the player and improve the interest in the game.

  Furthermore, when a game ball that has entered the lower prize opening 35 serving as a special winning means enters a passage in which the lower count switch SW4b that serves as a special opportunity means is placed, the reward is changed as a bonus that is advantageous to the player. It becomes a state. For this reason, let's focus on which non-electric prize-winning device will be used to play the game and whether or not it will be in a probable state (whether or not a privilege will be given), and operate the launch handle Y6a. The game according to the aspect can be enjoyed and the interest in the game can be improved.

  In addition, the probability that a game ball enters the lower great winning opening 35 and becomes a probable change state (probability that a situation in which it is easy to enter the gaming ball into the lower large winning opening 35 occurs) is a big hit game ( It depends on the type of game state. Therefore, it can be noted whether or not a big hit game of the kind in which the lower large winning opening 35 is opened and closed in an open manner in which a game ball easily enters the lower large winning opening 35 is generated. Furthermore, the profit (first profit) that the player can expect to acquire when the game ball enters the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 and the game ball entry into the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 The profit (second profit) that the player can expect to acquire on the occasion of is configured to be settable. For this reason, it is also possible to vary the profits that can be obtained by the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20, respectively, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment by changing the operation mode of the firing handle Y6a.

  (2) For the type of big hit game (hit game state), the game ball is detected by the lower count switch SW4b by entering the game ball into the lower big prize opening 35 (ball entering into the bonus opportunity means) 16R big hits, 11R big hits and 7R big hits, which are specific hit games including the opening mode of the big winning openings 33 and 35 that allow the game, are included. Also, the type of the big hit game does not include an open mode of the big winning holes 33 and 35 that allow the gaming ball to be detected by the lower count switch SW4b by putting the gaming ball into the lower big prize opening 35. A real 15R big hit and a real 10R big hit that are non-specific games are included. The type of jackpot game that occurs when the first special symbol variation game (first variation game) is a big hit is based on the probability set by the main control ROM 40b (first probability setting means). It is determined by the main control CPU 40a (first hitting seed determining means). The type of jackpot game that occurs when the second special symbol variation game (second variation game) is a big hit is based on the probability set by the main control ROM 40b (second probability setting means). It is determined by the main control CPU 40a (second hitting seed determining means).

  For this reason, if the probability that a specific hit game is generated when the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game are big hits is different, the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game Depending on which is performed, the probability (privilege grant rate) that the probable state after the jackpot game ends can be varied. When configured in this manner, the player can select what privilege grant rate is desired to be played by the operation mode of the firing handle Y6a as the firing operation means. Thus, by changing the operation mode of the launch handle Y6a, the player can be entertained by the new gameability that the player can select the privilege grant rate, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (3) The lower big prize opening door 34 serving as a distribution means is lowered with “25 seconds” as an upper limit so as to allow a game ball that has entered the lower big prize opening 35 to be detected by the lower count switch SW4b. It is possible to make the special winning opening 35 open (set to the first state). Further, the lower large prize opening door 34 has an upper limit of “0.2 seconds” so as not to allow a game ball that has entered the lower big prize opening 35 to be detected by the lower count switch SW4b. Can be in an open state (second state). Depending on the time when the lower big prize opening 35 is opened, it is controlled whether or not it is allowed to enter a probable state after the end of the big hit game, so than when there is no chance to enter the lower big prize hole 35, The player can be expected to have a chance to enter the lower major winning opening 35, and the decrease in the motivation for the game can be suppressed.

  (4) Various effect contents (effect contents of the first variation game) such as the variation time of the first special symbol variation game and the effect during the decoration symbol variation game when the first special symbol variation game is executed, This is different from various effect contents (effect contents of the second variable game) such as effect time during the second special symbol variable game and effects during the decorative symbol variable game when the second special symbol variable game is executed. For this reason, the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 (first non-electric opening / closing means) and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 (second non-electric opening / closing) are interlocked with the rolling (entrance) of the game ball on the rolling path 25. When the means) is released, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of selecting what kind of effect the player wants to enjoy. In this way, by changing the operation mode of the launch handle Y6a (launch operation means), the player can entertain the player with the new gameability that allows the player to select the contents of various effects to be executed. Can be improved.

  (5) When a game ball is fired to enter the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 (first non-electric opening / closing means) and to the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 (second non-electric opening / closing means) The left gate 37L and the right gate 37R as the lottery trigger means are arranged in the game area YBa so that the right of lottery (open lottery) can be obtained in any case where a game ball is fired to make a ball. Further, whether the game ball is fired to enter the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 or the game ball is fired to enter the right non-electric prize-winning device 20, the electric ball is used. The electric winning device 23 is arranged in the game area YBa so that a game ball can enter the winning device 23 (electrical opening / closing means). For this reason, once the game ball is to be fired in order to enter the non-electric prize-winning device of the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 or the right non-electric prize-winning device 20, the normal symbol variation game is executed. Therefore, there is no need to change the operation mode of the launch handle Y6a as the launch operation means in order to enter the game ball into the electric winning device 23. Therefore, the change of the operation mode of the launch handle Y6a is effectively accompanied by the change of the operation mode of the launch handle Y6a in a scene where it is expected to improve the interest of the game while minimizing the change of the operation mode of the launch handle Y6a. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by changing the operation mode.

  (6) For example, it is more advantageous for the player to win the big hit lottery for executing the second special symbol variation game than to win the big hit lottery for executing the first special symbol variation game (so-called It is assumed that the (balling rate) is set high. In such a case, the player wants to play the game by putting the game ball into the left non-electric prize-winning device 17, but because it is disadvantageous, he places the game ball into the right non-electric prize-winning device 20. There is a risk that it will be necessary to enter the game and play. In other words, a game different from the game desired by the player must be performed.

  However, when a game ball is entered into the left non-electric prize-winning device 17, when a big hit lottery for executing the first special symbol variation game is won, and a game ball enters the right non-electric prize-winning device 20. As a trigger, the player wins the jackpot lottery for executing the second special symbol variation game, and the player's advantage is equal. In other words, the game for the left game and the game for the right game are equivalent. As a result, it is possible to prevent inevitably determining the type of non-electric prize-winning device to be aimed at in order to enter the game ball according to the advantage, and the player can surely enjoy the game desired by the player. be able to.

  (7) When a greater number of game balls enter each non-electric prize-winning device 17, 20 (non-electric opening / closing means), an error effect is executed. For this reason, it is possible to notify the possibility that the game ball has been illegally entered into the non-electric prize-winning devices 17 and 20.

  (8) The error effect is performed by the decorative lamp La arranged on the front side of the front frame Y3 of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For this reason, it is notified to the surroundings (for example, an employee of a game hall) that an error effect is being performed, that is, that a game ball may be illegally entered into the non-electric prize winning devices 17 and 20. can do.

  (9) The production contents of the error production differed according to the types of the non-electric prize-winning devices 17 and 20 in which a larger number of game balls are entered than expected. For this reason, it becomes possible to easily determine which of the plurality of non-electrical prize winning devices 17 and 20 is a non-electrical prize-winning slot that may be illegally entered for a game ball. .

  (10) The left non-electric prize-winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20 are configured to be displaced to an open state or a closed state without using an electrical signal, or to maintain each state. For this reason, consumption of electric power energy can be suppressed rather than displacing to an open state or a closed state using an electric signal, or maintaining each state. In addition, since no current flows, it is possible to prevent the non-electric prize winning devices 17 and 20 from generating heat.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
-If the privilege in the said embodiment is advantageous for a player, it may not be in a certain change state, for example, may be in a change state (entrance rate improvement state). In other words, the game ball may enter the lower big prize opening 35 and the game ball may be detected by the lower count switch SW4b, so that after the big hit game is finished, the state may be changed.

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that the game ball which entered the lower large prize opening 35 may roll the cylindrical channel | path Td as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration of the passage Td shown in FIG. 10 will be described. The passage Td is formed on the back side of the game board YB and includes a central rolling path 51, a left rolling path 52, and a right rolling path 53. In addition, the game ball that has entered the lower major winning opening 35 first rolls on the central rolling path 51 among the central rolling path 51, the left rolling path 52, and the right rolling path 53. Two branch flow paths, a left rolling path 52 and a right rolling path 53, are formed on the most downstream side of the central rolling path 51. The left rolling path 52 and the right rolling path 53 are in communication with the central rolling path 51, and a game ball that has entered the lower major prize opening 35 is formed to be able to roll through the central rolling path 51. Has been. In addition, it is the most downstream of the central rolling path 51 and between the left rolling path 52 and the right rolling path 53, the ball enters the lower large winning opening 35 and rolls on the central rolling path 51. A sorting shutter Fs that can distribute game balls to the left rolling path 52 or the right rolling path 53 is disposed. The distribution shutter Fs includes a left distribution position (indicated by a solid line in FIG. 10) that distributes the game ball that has been rolling on the central rolling path 51 to the left rolling path 52 by the operation of the sorting solenoid, It is arranged so as to be displaceable with a right distribution position (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 10) in which the game balls that have rolled on the movement path 51 are distributed to the right rolling path 53. Further, the lower rolling switch 52 is provided with the lower count switch SW4b in the above embodiment. On the other hand, the right rolling path 53 is provided with a switch SW6 that triggers a prize ball payout by detecting a game ball as in the case of the lower count switch SW4b but does not trigger a privilege. The distribution solenoid is connected to the main control CPU 40a, and the main control CPU 40a can be configured to control the position of the distribution shutter Fs. In the case of such a configuration, the left rolling path 52 in which the lower count switch SW4b is disposed corresponds to the privilege trigger means. In such a configuration, the sorting shutter Fs functions as a sorting unit. The state where the distribution shutter Fs is in the left distribution position corresponds to the first state in which the game ball is allowed to enter the privilege opportunity means, and the state where the distribution shutter Fs is in the right distribution position is the privilege. This corresponds to a second state in which game balls are not allowed to enter the opportunity means.

  When such a passage Td is provided, if a big hit game (in the above-described embodiment, 16R big hit, 11R big hit and 7R big hit) that allow the granting of bonuses has occurred, the distribution shutter Fs is controlled to the left distribution position. To be configured. On the other hand, when a big hit game that does not allow the provision of a privilege (substantially 15R big hit and 10R big hit in the above embodiment) has occurred, the distribution shutter Fs can be controlled to the right distribution position. . In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to restrict that a privilege is surely granted when a substantial 15R big hit or a substantial 10R big hit occurs. That is, it is possible to bring the actual privilege grant rate close to the privilege grant rate assumed by the designer, and the actual privilege grant rate is higher than the privilege grant rate assumed by the designer. Can be prevented. Further, in the case of such a configuration, only the lower prize winning opening 35 can be opened as a big winning prize opening when a big hit game is generated. In other words, it is possible to realize the gameability in the above-described embodiment without providing a plurality of special winning openings.

In the above embodiment, the first profit and the second profit may include winning rates for various winning devices generated by obstacle members such as obstacle nails arranged on the game board YB.
In the above embodiment, the player may be notified of the currently selected gameability (the type of special symbol variation game being executed). For example, in the variable state, when the first special symbol variation game is executed, the arrow Y1 displayed in the playability introduction effect is displayed so as to blink, and the second special symbol variation game is executed. When displaying, the arrow Y2 displayed in the game introduction effect may be displayed so as to blink. In addition, the left non-electrical prize winning device 17 and the right non-electrical prize winning device 20 are each provided with a light emitting device such as an LED, and provided in the left non-electrical prize winning device 17 during execution of the first special symbol variation game when in the variable state.

In the pachinko gaming machine of the above-described embodiment, in a non-variable state, if a game is performed in the left game area, a game ball can be entered into the start winning device 15 without entering a game ball into the electric prize-winning device 23. If so, a special symbol variation game can be executed. On the other hand, when a game is played in the right game area in the non-changeable state, the special symbol variation game cannot be executed unless the game ball is entered into the electric winning device 23. That is, in the non-variable state, it is difficult to execute the special symbol variation game in the game in the left game region and the game in the right game region (the game used to execute the special symbol variation game). The number of balls is different. Therefore, it is not preferable to encourage the player to play in the right game area where it is difficult to execute the special symbol variation game in the non-variable state than in the left game area. It is not preferred to do so. However, if the start winning device 15 is not provided, the difficulty for executing the special symbol variation game is equal between the game in the left game area and the game in the right game area.

  -In the above embodiment, when the effect when the first special symbol variation game is executed is different from the effect when the second special symbol variation game is executed, the notice effect that is executed is different. Alternatively, the presence / absence of the effect using the effect button as the effect operation means that can be operated by the player may be varied.

  In the above embodiment, the gates 37L and 37R that can trigger the start condition of the normal symbol variation game by entering (passing) the game ball may not be arranged in the left game area and the right game area, respectively. For example, one gate may be arranged in the common area that is the left game area and the right game area. In the case of such a configuration, even if there is one gate arranged in the game area YBa, the normal symbol variation game is executed when the game is played in either the left game area or the right game area (motorized The winning device 23 can be opened). Further, gates may be arranged only in one of the left game area and the right game area. In such a configuration, after the non-electric prize-winning devices 17 and 20 are in an open state, a game in either the left game area or the right game area is selected.

  -In the rolling path 25 of the said embodiment, you may change the order which arrange | positions electric prize port switch SW3, the 1st movable lever 26, and the 2nd movable lever 28. FIG.

For this reason, when the game ball is not paid out in accordance with the game ball entering one of the left non-electric prize-winning device 17 and the right non-electric prize-winning device 20, the game ball enters the other. It is preferable that the game ball is not paid out along with the above.

  In the above embodiment, the winning probability of reach lottery in the first special symbol variation process may be changed according to the first reserved memory number or the total number of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number. Similarly, the winning probability of reach lottery in the second special symbol variation process may be changed according to the second reserved memory number or the total number of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number. For example, when the number of reserved memories is large, the winning probability of reach lottery may be set lower than when the number of reserved memories is small.

  In the above embodiment, the winning probability of reach lottery in the second special symbol variation process may be set lower than the winning probability of reach lottery in the first special symbol variation process. When configured in this way, when the first special symbol variation game is executed, the reach effect is more easily executed than when the second special symbol variation game is executed. As a result, even if the variation patterns determined based on the lottery results such as jackpot lottery and reach lottery are the same type, when playing in the left game area, the unit is more than when playing in the right game area The number of special symbol variation games executed per hour is likely to decrease. Therefore, it is possible to create a difference in gameability that the game efficiency is different between the blow spec and the hit step.

  In the above embodiment, the reach effect can be executed when one of the first special symbol change game and the second special symbol change game is executed, while the reach effect is executed when the other special symbol change game is executed. May not be executed. Moreover, you may comprise so that reach | attainment effect may not be performed at the time of execution of any special symbol fluctuation game. In addition, when it comprises so that reach production cannot be performed, it is not necessary to perform reach lottery.

  In the above embodiment, in the big hit game, a plurality of large winning holes having different numbers of game balls (number of winning balls) to be paid out with respect to a single game ball are entered, and the large winning holes to be opened are changed. It is also possible to vary the number of prize balls that can be expected.

In the above embodiment, the start winning device 15 may not be provided.
In the above embodiment, the number of winning balls that can be expected to be obtained in the big hit game can be varied by changing the upper limit number of entering balls.

  -In the said embodiment, you may change the period when it becomes a change state after the big hit game is ended depending on the type of the big hit game. For example, when the first special symbol variation game is a big hit (when the first winning lottery is won), the period when the first special symbol variation game is changed after the big hit game ends, and the second special symbol variation game becomes a big hit. In such a case (when winning the second winning lottery), the period in which the game is changed after the end of the big hit game may be made different. Further, it may be configured such that a type of jackpot game that is in an uncertain change state after the jackpot game ends can be generated.

  In the above embodiment, the big hit lottery when executing the first special symbol variation game may be the second win lottery, and the big hit lottery when executing the second special symbol variation game may be the first win lottery.

  -In the said embodiment, the number of non-electrical prize-winning devices may be set to three or more, and each can be distinguished. Further, the type of the special symbol variation game to be executed may be varied depending on the type of the non-electric prize-winning device for winning the game ball. That is, in the above embodiment, only the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game are described, but a third special symbol variation game or the like may be executed.

-In the said embodiment, you may change the definition of a extended resort state.
-In the said embodiment, you may change what becomes an element in calculating the reaming ball of left game. Moreover, you may change what becomes an element in calculating the consecutive game starting ball of a right game. For example, “the number of game balls that can be acquired as a winning ball during a big hit game”, “the rate at which the big hit game is assumed to be in a probable state”, “the probability that each big hit game will occur (see above) In the form, the probability that a special symbol is determined) may be changed. In addition, the “period in which the variable state continues (upper limit number of times of change)”, the “period in which the state of change of change continues (maximum number of times of change)” may be changed.

In the above embodiment, the variation pattern may be determined from the same type of variation pattern regardless of the type of special symbol variation game to be executed.
In the above embodiment, the round game that opens the lower big prize opening 35 may not be the final round game in the big hit game. For example, the lower big prize opening 35 may be opened in the first round game in the big hit game or in the middle (for example, the seventh round game).

  In the above embodiment, the winning probability of the big hit lottery may be changed. For example, you may change both the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the case of the probability variation state and the winning probability of the jackpot lottery in the case of the non-probability variation state.

  -In the said embodiment, the display mode of a special symbol and a normal symbol is not ask | required. For example, the special symbol and the normal symbol may be configured by a lighting pattern (lighting combination) of lighting or extinguishing of a plurality of LEDs.

  In the embodiment described above, the execution of the normal symbol variation game may be suspended as in the special symbol variation game. At this time, the upper limit number that can hold the execution of the normal symbol variation game may be set to the same number as the upper limit number that can hold the execution of the special symbol variation game (4 in the above embodiment).

  In the above embodiment, it may be possible to execute an effect that notifies the player that a game ball has been detected by the lower count switch SW4b. For example, when the detection signal from the lower count switch SW4b is input, the main control CPU 40a outputs a control signal to the effect control CPU 41a. Then, the effect control CPU 41a may be configured to light the decoration lamp La triggered by the input of the first control signal after the big hit game is started.

  In the above embodiment, the second special symbol variation game may not be executed preferentially over the first special symbol variation game. For example, the special symbol variation game may be executed in the order in which the execution of the special symbol variation game is suspended regardless of the type of the special symbol variation game. Also, the first special symbol variation game may be executed with priority over the second special symbol variation game. Alternatively, the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game may be executed simultaneously. When configured in this way, the effect display device 11 may separately execute the decorative symbol variation game accompanying the execution of the first special symbol variation game and the decorative symbol variation game associated with the execution of the second special symbol variation game. desirable. For example, the area of the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11 is divided into an upper and lower two parts, an ornamental symbol variation game associated with execution of the first special symbol variation game is executed in the upper region, and a second special symbol variation game is performed in the lower region. You may comprise so that the decoration symbol change game accompanying execution of may be performed.
