  Hereinafter, the decorative symbol game will be described in detail.

  The decorative symbol game is performed based on winning of a game ball at the special figure 1 start port 32 and the special figure 2 start port 34. That is, the decorative symbol game is based on the jackpot determination result of the first special symbol game when the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game is performed based on the winning of the game ball to the start port 32 for the special symbol 1. And when the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is made based on the winning of the game ball to the special figure 2 starting port 34, based on the result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game There are two ways to be done.

  Therefore, if the result of jackpot determination of the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game is determined to be a jackpot, the decorative symbol game is won. On the other hand, when it is determined that the jackpot determination result of the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game is lost, the decorative symbol game is lost. As described above, the result of the decorative symbol game is configured to be linked with the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game.

  The result of the decorative symbol game based on the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game is displayed in the display area on the upper side of the liquid crystal display unit 51. In addition, the result of the decorative symbol game based on the result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is displayed in the lower display area of the liquid crystal display unit 51.

  Further, when the result of the big hit determination of the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game is a big hit (when the decorative symbol game is a win), the big hit game is started.

  Hereinafter, the jackpot game will be described in detail.

  The jackpot game is a game when the gaming state is a jackpot gaming state. In the big hit game, the player is given a game state that is more advantageous than a game in which the game state is the normal state. The jackpot game state is shifted from the normal state by operating the condition device when the result of the jackpot determination of either the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game is a jackpot. The condition device is a device that is a condition for operating the accessory continuous operation device. Further, the accessory continuous operation device is a device for continuously operating the special prize device 36 (special electric accessory).

  More specifically, when the result of the jackpot determination for the first special symbol game is a jackpot and when the result of the jackpot determination for the second special symbol game is a jackpot, the special electric accessory solenoid 49 is continuously driven. . When the special electric accessory solenoid 49 is continuously driven, the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening door 48 is continuously performed, and the continuous switching between the open state and the closed state of the special winning device 36 (continuous operation). ) Is performed. Then, when the big winning device 36 is in an open state, the game ball can be won in the big winning port 46 of the big winning device 36.

  The open state (per time) of the special winning device 36 is when a predetermined time (30 seconds in the present embodiment) elapses or a predetermined number (in the present embodiment, When ten (10) game balls have won the big prize opening 46 of the big prize winning device 36, the game is finished and switched to the closed state. In addition, after switching to the closed state, the special winning device 36 is switched to the opened state again when a predetermined time (3 seconds in the present embodiment) elapses.

  Thus, in the big hit game, the continuous operation of the big winning device 36 is performed a preset number of times (in the present embodiment, a total of 16 times). Hereinafter, the continuous operation of the big winning device 36 in the big hit game is referred to as “round game”. Further, the continuous operation of the big winning device 36 in the big hit game is referred to as “round”. That is, the round game is played for a total of 16 rounds.

  Note that the gaming machine 1 is provided with a probability variation state and an electric support game state in addition to a normal state as an internal gaming state.

  The probability variation state (hereinafter, referred to as “probability variation state”) is a gaming state that shifts from the normal state (non-probability variation state) when the probability variation function is activated in the first and second special symbol games. When the game state of the first and second special symbol games shifts from the normal state (non-probability change state) to the probability change state, there is a probability that the result of the jackpot determination of the first and second special symbol games is determined to be a big hit. Probability higher than the normal state. When the game state of the first and second special symbol games shifts from the normal state (non-probability change state) to the probability change state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

  Note that the probability variation function is configured to operate according to a combination of symbols (determined symbols) in which a plurality of decorative symbols are stopped and displayed. In the present embodiment, the probability variation function is configured to operate when the combination of fixed symbols of a plurality of decorative symbols is “333” or “777”.

  In addition, when the game state of the first and second special symbol games shifts from the normal state (non-probability change state) to the probability change state (or even when not changed), the special symbol 1 and the special symbol 2 The function of shortening the fluctuation time of the system in the normal state (special symbol fluctuation time reduction function) is configured to operate with a probability of 100%.

  The electric support game state is a game state in which at least one state is combined with at least one of a symbol variation time shortened state, a normal symbol probability variation state, and an ordinary electric accessory release extended state in a normal symbol game. is there.

  The variation time shortening state (hereinafter referred to as “time-short state”) in the normal symbol game is a game state that shifts from the normal state (non-time-short state) when the variation time shortening function is activated. When the game state of the normal symbol game shifts from the normal state (non-short-time state) to the short-time state, the variation time of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol LED display unit 50 of the normal symbol display device 39 is shorter than the normal state. Is done.

  The normal symbol probability variation state in the normal symbol game is a game state in which the normal symbol probability variation function is activated to shift from a normal state (a state in which the normal symbol probability variation function is not activated). When the normal symbol probability variation function is activated, the probability that the result of the normal symbol game hit determination is a win is higher than that in the normal state.

  In the normal symbol game, the normal electric accessory release extension state is a gaming state in which the normal electric accessory release extension function is activated to shift from the normal state (the state in which the normal electric accessory release extension function is not activated).

  Next, the various variation pattern selection tables used when selecting the variation pattern related to the special symbol 1 and the special symbol 2 as described above will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the non-probability change big hit fluctuation pattern selection table 130 used in steps S803 and S903 is the counter value of the fluctuation pattern selection counter 169 for special figure 1 and the fluctuation pattern selection for special figure 2 When the counter value of the counter 170 (hereinafter simply referred to as “counter value”) is “0” to “19”, the variation pattern E (15,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern.

Further, when the counter value is “20” to “49”, the variation pattern F (50,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern F is selected as the variation pattern is set to 30/200. Further, when the counter value is “50” to “109”, the variation pattern G (90,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern G is selected as the variation pattern is set to 60/200. Further, when the counter value is “110” to “199”, the variation pattern H (120,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern H is selected as the variation pattern is set to 90/200.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, the non-probability change-time variation pattern selection table 131 used in steps S804 and S904 shows a variation pattern when the counter value is “0” to “89”. The fluctuation pattern A (15,000 ms) is selected. That is, the probability that the variation pattern A is selected as the variation pattern is set to 90/200. Further, when the counter value is “90” to “149”, the variation pattern B (50,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern B is selected as the variation pattern is set to 60/200. Further, when the counter value is “150” to “179”, the variation pattern C (90,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern C is selected as the variation pattern is set to 30/200. Further, when the counter value is “180” to “199”, the variation pattern D (120,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern D is selected as the variation pattern is set to 20/200.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the probability variation loss variation pattern selection table 134 used in steps S810 and S910 has a variation pattern I () as a variation pattern when the counter value is “0” to “129”. 3,000 ms) is selected. That is, the probability that the variation pattern I is selected as the variation pattern is set to 130/200. Further, when the counter value is “130” to “169”, the variation pattern J (90,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern J is selected as the variation pattern is set to 40/200. Further, when the counter value is “170” to “199”, the variation pattern K (120,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern K is selected as the variation pattern is set to 30/200.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10A, the probability variation first big hit variation pattern selection table 132 used in steps S809 and S909 is a variation pattern when the counter value is “0” to “29”. As a result, the variation pattern L (15,000 ms) is selected. That is, the probability that the variation pattern L is selected as the variation pattern is set to 30/200. Further, when the counter value is “30” to “99”, the variation pattern M (90,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern.

That is, the probability that the variation pattern N is selected as the variation pattern is set to 100/200.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the probability variation second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 used in Steps S808 and S908 shows the variation pattern when the counter value is from “0” to “129”. The variation pattern P (5,000 ms) is selected. That is, the probability that the variation pattern P is selected as the variation pattern is set to 130/200. In addition, when the counter value is “130” to “169”, the variation pattern R (30,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern R is selected as the variation pattern is set to 40/200. Further, when the counter value is “170” to “199”, the variation pattern S (90,000 ms) is selected as the variation pattern. That is, the probability that the variation pattern S is selected as the variation pattern is set to 30/200.

  In this way, as a variation pattern selection table used when the jackpot determination result of the special symbol game (the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game) is a big jackpot when the probability variation state is in effect, Two types, a first big hit fluctuation pattern selection table 132 and a second big hit fluctuation pattern selection table 133 at the time of probability change, are provided.

  In the probability variation second big hit variation pattern selection table 133, the variation pattern P (5,000 ms) is selected with high probability (130/200). Further, in the first big hit fluctuation pattern selection table 132 at the time of probability change, a fluctuation pattern N (120,000 ms) which is a fluctuation pattern longer than the fluctuation pattern P with a high probability (100/200) is selected. Based on these, the second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 at the time of probability change and the first big hit variation pattern selection table 132 at the time of probability change are generally better in the second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 at the probability change. A variation pattern shorter than the big hit variation pattern selection table 132 is set to be easily selected.

  Below, the effect show | played from such a structure of the game machine 1 is demonstrated using FIG.22 and FIG.23.

  In FIG. 22, in order to clarify the effect achieved from the configuration of the gaming machine 1, unlike the present embodiment that uses the probability variation second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 in step S 808 as described above, the probability variation time is different. A problem assumed when the first big hit variation pattern selection table 132 is used will be described.

  In the following explanation, the jackpot determination result of the special symbol game (the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game) becomes a probabilistic state after the jackpot game is finished (the special symbol probability variation function is activated). A big hit that is not a combination of symbols is simply referred to as “non-probable big hit”. In addition, the combination of symbols in which the result of the jackpot determination of the special symbol game (the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game) becomes a probabilistic state after the jackpot game is finished (the special symbol probability variation function is activated). A jackpot that is simply called “probable jackpot”.

  In FIG. 22, the result of the big hit determination of the first special symbol game is a big hit (more specifically, the non-probability variable big hit) before the result of the big special hit determination of the second special symbol game is a big hit. Then, the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game that is a non-probable variable jackpot is determined at the time T2 when the fluctuation of the special symbol 1 stops (the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game is a jackpot There is no possibility that the result of the determination will be invalidated).

  In such a case, the case where the result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game becomes a big hit (more specifically, a probable big hit) at the time T0 shown in FIG. 22 will be considered.

  The result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is determined at the time T3 when the fluctuation of the special symbol 2 stops (second special symbol) as shown in S1 of FIG. 22 (variation schedule when not invalidated). (There is no possibility that the determination result that the game big hit determination is a big hit will be invalidated). Here, it is assumed that the time from time T0 to time T3 is 15,000 ms (variation pattern L). Further, it is assumed that the time from time T0 to time T2 is 7,000 ms.

  In such a case, the jackpot determination result of the first special symbol game is finalized at time T2 before time T3. Then, as a result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game is confirmed as a jackpot (non-probable change big hit), the result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is as shown in R1 (actual fluctuation) in FIG. Disable it. That is, the result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is lost, and there has never been a probability variation jackpot.

  In this way, unlike the present embodiment that uses the second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 at the time of probability change in step S808, when the first big hit variation pattern selection table 132 at the time of probability change is used, the result of the big hit determination is the probability variation. Even if it is a big hit, there will be a relatively large number of cases where a non-probable big hit is fixed (the probability variable big hit is invalidated) before the probability variable big hit is fixed, which is disadvantageous for the player.

  With respect to such a problem, the effects assumed when the second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 at probability variation is used in step S808 will be described using FIG. 23, as shown in the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 23, the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game is the jackpot (more specifically, as in the example shown in FIG. 22) before the jackpot determination result of the second special symbol game is a jackpot. , Non-probable big hit). Then, as shown in S2 of FIG. 23 (variation schedule when not invalidated), the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game that is a non-probable variation jackpot is the time T2 when the variation of the special symbol 1 stops. It will be fixed at the time (the possibility that the determination result that the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game is a jackpot will be invalidated) will be eliminated.

  In such a case, a case where the result of the big special determination of the second special symbol game is a big hit (more specifically, a probable big hit) will be considered at the time T0 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is fixed at the time T1 when the fluctuation of the special symbol 2 stops (determination that the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is a jackpot. (There is no possibility that the result will be invalidated). Here, it is assumed that the time from time T0 to time T1 is 5,000 ms (variation pattern P). Further, it is assumed that the time from time T0 to time T2 is 7,000 ms.

  In such a case, before the time T2, at the time T1, it is determined that the result of the big special determination of the second special symbol game is a big hit. Then, by determining that the result of the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game is a jackpot (probable variation jackpot), as shown in R2 (actual fluctuation) of FIG. 23, the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game Is invalidated. In other words, the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game is lost, and there has never been an uncertain variable jackpot.

  In this way, as shown in the present embodiment, when the probable variation second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 is used in step S808, the result of the first special symbol game previously determined as the big hit is the non-probable variable big hit. Even in such a case, there is a case where the probabilistic big hit is fixed (the non-probable big hit is invalidated) before the non-probable big hit. In other words, it may be advantageous to the player because there may be a gaming state advantageous to the player by avoiding a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player.

  That is, depending on the configuration of the gaming machine 1, while the special symbol 1 or the special symbol 2 is fluctuating because the result of the big hit determination of either the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game becomes an uncertain big hit When the result of the big hit determination of either the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game is a probable variation big hit, the second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 at the probability variation is used as the variation pattern selection table. For this reason, there are relatively many cases where the probability variation big hit is confirmed (the non-probability variation big hit is invalidated) before the non-probable variation big hit is confirmed. In other words, even if it is determined that the gaming machine 1 will have a non-probable big hit in one of the special symbol games in terms of timing, if the probable big jackpot can be made in the other special symbol game in the subsequent timing, It is possible to have a novel game spec that can invalidate the probable big hit.

  Thus, when the state is in a probable state, for example, a so-called right-handed is performed, and the game ball is awarded only to the special figure 2 start opening 34 out of the special figure 1 start opening 32 and the special figure 2 start opening 34. In the case (that is, when only the second special symbol game is played out of the special symbol games), when the result of the big special judgment of the second special symbol game is an uncertain variable big hit, the right-handed to the left-handed A game in which a game ball is won at the start opening 32 for FIG. 1 (that is, only the first special symbol game among the special symbol games is performed) and a promising big hit can be played. In other words, if the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game becomes a probable big hit by such a game, the result of the big hit judgment as the non-probable variable big hit of the second special symbol game by the previous right-handed is invalidated Can do.

  In the case described above, in order to change the player's handle operation from right-handed to left-handed, the liquid crystal display unit 51 of the decorative symbol game 38 is changed to, for example, “return to left-handed and aim for a probable big hit. May be displayed. With such a configuration, the player is notified that there is a possibility (chance) of invalidating the result of the jackpot determination as the non-probable variation big hit by obtaining the result of the jackpot determination as the probability variation big hit. Can do. In other words, by notifying the player that there is a possibility that the player is in an advantageous state, the interest of the player can be further enhanced.

As described above, the gaming machine 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is
A first starting opening (starting opening 32 for special figure 1) and a second starting opening (starting opening 34 for special figure 2) in which game balls can be won,

Second special symbol variation pattern selection means for selecting a variation pattern of the second special symbol (special symbol 2) based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery by the second special symbol game big hit lottery execution means;
Second special symbol variation means (main control circuit 100 / sub-control circuit 200) that varies the second special symbol based on the variation pattern of the second special symbol selected by the second special symbol variation pattern selection means. A display control circuit 300);
When the lottery result of the big win lottery by the first special symbol game big hit lottery execution means is a big hit, after the stop of the variation of the first special symbol, the big hit lottery by the second special symbol big game lottery execution means When the lottery result is a big hit, after the change of the second special symbol is stopped, the big hit game execution means (main control circuit 100, sub-control circuit 200, display control circuit 300) for executing the big hit game,
When the lottery result of the big win lottery by the first special symbol game big hit lottery execution means is a specific big hit (probable big hit) among the big wins, and the lottery result of the big hit lottery by the second special symbol game big hit lottery execution means A specific game state that is advantageous for the player after execution of the big hit game by the big hit game execution means (a game state in the case of a positive change game) On the other hand, when the lottery result of the big win lottery by the first special symbol game big hit lottery executing means is a normal big hit (non-probable big hit) among the big wins, and by the second special symbol game big hit lottery executing means When the lottery result of the big hit lottery is a normal big hit (non-probable big hit) of the big hit, and before the big hit game is executed by the big hit game execution means Game-state means to move to (gaming state when a non-probability variation game) normal game state is disadvantageous gaming state to the player than the specific gaming state (the main control circuit 100),
Comprising
In the jackpot game execution means, the lottery result of the jackpot lottery by the first special symbol game jackpot lottery execution means and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery by the second special symbol game jackpot lottery execution means both became big hits. In this case, the change of the special symbol of either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped, and when the big hit game is executed by the big hit game executing means, the other special symbol is executed. When the symbol is fluctuating, the jackpot game is executed based on the lottery result of the jackpot lottery corresponding to the variation of the one special symbol and the lottery result of the jackpot lottery corresponding to the variation of the other special symbol Disable
When the first special symbol variation pattern selection means is in a state where the game state transition means has shifted to the specific game state, the lottery result of the big hit lottery by the first special symbol game big hit lottery execution means When it becomes a specific big hit out of the big hits, a variation pattern with a short variation time is selected as compared with the case where the lottery result of the big hit lottery by the first special symbol game big hit lottery execution means is a normal big hit among the big hits,
When the second special symbol variation pattern selection means is in a state where the game state transition means has shifted to the specific game state, the lottery result of the big hit lottery by the second special symbol game big hit lottery execution means When the big hit is a specific big hit, the fluctuation pattern of the big hit lottery by the second special symbol game big hit lottery execution means is shorter than the normal big hit of the big hit (the second big hit fluctuation at the time of probability change) The variation pattern selected using the pattern selection table 133 is selected.

  With such a configuration, the gaming machine 1 utilizes a simultaneous jackpot that is generated by simultaneously changing the first special symbol (special symbol 1) and the second special symbol (special symbol 2), so that a novel gaming spec. Can be provided.

Note that the variation pattern selection tables such as the first big hit variation pattern selection table 132 at the probability change and the second big hit variation pattern selection table 133 at the probability variation are one embodiment, and the present invention is not limited to this.
As another embodiment of the probability variation first big hit variation pattern selection table selected in step S809 and step S909, when the result of the big hit determination is a non-probability variation big hit, it is selected in another variation pattern selection table. A variation pattern that is relatively longer than the variation pattern may be easily selected stochastically.
Further, as another embodiment of the probability variation first big hit variation pattern selection table selected in step S809 and step S909, a variation pattern that is relatively longer than the variation pattern selected in the other variation pattern selection table is set. Accordingly, a configuration may be adopted in which a variation pattern that is relatively longer than the variation pattern selected in the other variation pattern selection table is easily selected.
