  Hereinafter, the small hit game will be described in detail.

  The small hit game is a game in a state where the internal game state has shifted to the small hit game state. In the small hit game, the game state is advantageous compared to the game state (the normal game state) before the transition to the small hit game state, and a game state having an advantage degree smaller than the big hit game state is a game. Granted to a person. Specifically, in the small hit game, the second big prize opening door 60 of the second big prize winning device 37 opens and closes, and the second big prize winning device 37 is switched between the open state and the closed state once. Is called. Thereby, the player can acquire more prize balls than the game in the normal game state (less than in the case of the big hit game).

  Note that the open state of the second big prize device 37 in the small hit game ends after a predetermined time has elapsed and is switched to the closed state.

  When a game ball wins the second big winning device 37 in the small hit game and the winning game ball wins the specific area 61, the internal gaming state changes from the small hit gaming state to the big hit gaming state. And migrate. That is, the small hit game is ended and the big hit game is started. Note that, as described above, in the second grand prize winning device 37, the game ball that has won the second major prize winning port 58 is set to win the specific area 61 with a probability of 1/10. In other words, in the small hit game, when one game ball wins the second big prize opening 58, the big hit game is set to start with a probability of 1/10.

  Note that the big hit game that is started after the small hit game ends is a second big hit game described later in the big hit game. In the second big hit game (the big hit game started after the small hit game is finished), the second big winning device 37 is used as the big winning device.

  Hereinafter, the jackpot game will be described in detail.

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot game is provided with two types of jackpot games: a first jackpot game using the first jackpot device 36 and a second jackpot game using the second jackpot device 37.

In addition, the operation per one time among the continuous operations of the first big winning device 36 or the second big winning device 37 in the big hit game is referred to as “round”. That is, a total of 16 rounds are played.

  The jackpot gaming state is shifted from the normal gaming state by operating the condition device when the result of the jackpot determination of the first special symbol game or the jackpot determination result of the second special symbol game is a jackpot. The The condition device is a device that is a condition for operating the accessory continuous operation device. In addition, the accessory continuous operation device is a device for continuously operating the big prize device (the first big prize device 36 or the second big prize device 37).

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1, in addition to the above-described small hit game state and big hit game state, the internal game state relating to the special symbol game (the first special symbol game and the second special symbol game), in the special symbol game A short-time gaming state is provided.

  The short time gaming state in the special symbol game is a gaming state in which the variable time shortening function is activated in the special symbol game and the normal gaming state (the variable time shortening function is not activated) is shifted to. Thus, when the time-short gaming state is entered, the variation time of the special symbol 1 and the special symbol 2 is shortened compared to the game in the normal gaming state. In the present embodiment, whether or not to shift to the short-time gaming state is determined by determination described later.

  Further, in the gaming machine 1, a short time gaming state in the normal symbol game is provided as an internal gaming state relating to the normal symbol game.

  The time-short gaming state in the normal symbol game is a gaming state in which the variable time shortening function is activated and the normal gaming state (the variable time shortening function is not activated) is shifted in the normal symbol game. In the short-time gaming state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened compared to the game in the normal gaming state. In this embodiment, the transition to the short-time gaming state is determined depending on the transition to the short-time gaming state in the special symbol game.

The shortening function is set to operate simultaneously.

  When the normal symbol probability variation function is activated in a normal symbol game, the probability that the result of the normal symbol game hit determination is a hit is the normal (the normal symbol probability variation function is not activated) gaming state. Probability higher than games.

  When the normal electric accessory release extension function is activated in the normal symbol game, the time per one time that the variable winning device 35 is in the open state is the normal game state (the normal electric accessory release extension function is not activated). The game will be extended.

  As described above, in the normal symbol game, when the time-short game state is set, a game state (so-called electric support game state) in which a game ball easily wins the special figure 2 start port 34 is set. In other words, in the normal symbol game, when the time-short game state is entered, the game state is advantageously given to the player.

  In this embodiment, when the fluctuation time reduction function is activated in the normal symbol game, the normal symbol probability fluctuation function in the normal symbol game, the normal electric accessory opening extension function in the normal symbol game, and the fluctuation time reduction in the special symbol game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, various functions that operate at the same time that the variable time reduction function operates in a normal symbol game may be combined as appropriate.

  In the following, the time-short game state in the special symbol game and the time-short game state in the normal symbol game are referred to as “time-short state”, and the game in the time-short state is referred to as “time-short game”, respectively.

In this embodiment, when the count value of the big hit counter 121 is “7”, the determination result is a big hit, and when the counter value is other than that, the determination result is lost. In this way, when the second special symbol game jackpot determination is made and the current gaming state is not the short-time state but the normal state, it is determined that the result of the second special symbol game jackpot determination is a jackpot. Is set to 1/240.

  In addition, the main control CPU 101 determines that the winning of the game ball that triggers the jackpot determination of the special symbol game this time is the winning of the game ball to the special symbol 2 starting port 34 (that is, the second of the special symbol games). If the current gaming state is not the normal state but the short-time state, the special-time symbol special jackpot determination table 164 is used to determine the jackpot determination of the second special symbol game. I do.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the short-time special figure 2 big hit determination table 164 includes a “counter value” indicating the counter value of the big hit counter 121 and a “determination result” (big hit determination) corresponding to the “counter value”. ). In this embodiment, when the count value of the big hit counter 121 is “7”, the determination result is a big hit, and when the counter value is other than that, the determination result is lost. In this way, when the second special symbol game jackpot determination is made and the current gaming state is not the normal state but the time saving state, it is determined that the result of the second special symbol game jackpot determination is a jackpot. Is set to 1/240.

Hereinafter, the small symbol determination process of the special symbol game (second special symbol game) shown in step S510 will be described in detail.
In addition, the normal time special figure 2 small hit determination table 165 and the short time special figure 2 small hit determination table 166 shown in FIGS. 6 and 9 will be described in detail below.

  When the current gaming state is not the short-time state but the normal state, the main control CPU 101 uses the normal special figure 2 small hit determination table 165 to make a small hit determination of the second special symbol game.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the normal special figure 2 small hit determination table 165 includes a “counter value” indicating the counter value of the small hit counter 122 and a “determination result” ( Small hit determination). In this embodiment, when the counter value of the small hit counter 122 is “0” to “239”, the determination result is a small hit. Thus, when the game state of the second special symbol game is not the short-time state but the normal state, the probability that the result of the small hit determination of the second special symbol game is a small hit is 240 / 240 is set.

  Further, when the current gaming state is not the normal state but the time saving state, the main control CPU 101 uses the time saving special figure 2 small hit determination table 166 to make a small hit determination of the second special symbol game.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (b), the time reduction special figure 2 small hit determination table 166 includes a “counter value” indicating the counter value of the small hit counter 122 and a “determination result” ( Small hit determination). In this embodiment, when the counter value of the small hit counter 122 is “0” to “239”, the determination result is a small hit. Thus, when the game state of the second special symbol game is not the normal state but the short time state, the probability that the result of the small special hit determination of the second special symbol game is the small hit is 240 / 240 is set.

  As described above, in the second special symbol game, when the result of the big hit determination is lost, it is determined that the result of the small hit determination is a hit (small hit) with a probability of 100%.

As described above, the gaming machine 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is
A first start opening (a start opening 33 for the special figure 1 and a start opening 34 for the special figure 2) and a second start opening (the opening and closing accessory start opening 41) in which the game balls can be won,
There is an opening / closing member (second opening / closing member 45) that can be opened and closed, and the opening / closing member is opened in conjunction with the winning of the game ball to the second starting port, so that the game ball can be won, and a predetermined number to the player A second-type non-electrically-operated accessory (second opening-and-closing accessory 43) in which the opening and closing member is closed in conjunction with the winning of the game ball and the game ball cannot be won,

It comprises.

  Below, the effect show | played from the structure of the above gaming machines 1 is demonstrated.

  With such a configuration of the gaming machine 1, by performing a prize game for the opening / closing combination, that is, by using the opening / closing combination starting port 41, the first opening / closing combination 42, and the second opening / closing combination 43, The player can obtain a chance to play the second special symbol game based on the winning of the game ball to the second opening / closing accessory 43.

  As described above, if the result of the big hit determination of the second special symbol game is a loss, it is determined that the result of the small hit determination of the second special symbol game is a hit (small hit) with a probability of 100%. Is done. Then, if the result of the small hit determination of the second special symbol game is a win (small hit), the small hit game is started, and the second big winning device 37 (second big winning port 58) is released from the closed state. Switch to state. Thus, when a game ball wins in the specific area 61 of the second big winning opening 58, the second big hit game is started as a big hit game, and after the second big hit game is finished, the short-time game is started with a predetermined probability. Is done.

  In this way, the player can obtain a chance to play the second big hit game and further the short-time game (hereinafter referred to as “challenge per V”) by the winning game for the opening / closing combination.

  Since the second opening / closing accessory 43 can win two game balls once the game ball can be won, once the second opening / closing accessory 43 can win a maximum of two times. Players can get a challenge per V.

  In addition, the challenge per V is based on a game (game based on a prize for an opening / closing accessory) that is different from a game (game based on a prize at the start opening) of a pachinko game machine of a type called a so-called one-type two-mixer. It will be a big hit game. In other words, in the gaming machine 1, a big hit game can be aimed through two types of games (game based on winning at the start opening and game based on winning at the opening / closing role), and one type of game (starting) It is possible to increase the interest of the player as compared to the case of aiming for a big hit game only through a game based on winning in the mouth.

  In the winning game of the opening / closing accessory, the player first wins a game ball in the opening / closing accessory starting port 41, then wins a game ball in the first opening / closing accessory 42, and then wins the second opening / closing role. It is necessary to make the object 43 win the game ball and finally make the game ball win the second big prize opening 58. Further, the player can visually recognize that the game balls that have won the second grand prize opening 58 are distributed to the specific area 61 or the normal area 63. Thereby, the player is always interested in the movement of the game ball and follows the movement of the game ball. In this way, the gaming machine 1 has the gameability of an old-fashioned pachinko gaming machine that follows the movement of the game ball, and can enhance the interest of the player.

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 is a type of pachinko gaming machine called a so-called one-type / two-type mixing machine, and can be provided with a novel gaming property that could not be realized conventionally.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a gaming board 504 having a different configuration from the gaming board 4 of the gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

The game board 504 is mainly different from the configuration of the game board 4 in that the opening / closing role starting port 41, the first opening / closing role 42 and the second opening / closing role 43 are not provided, whereas the third opening / closing role starting port 541 is provided. And a third opening / closing member 543 and a sorting device (the rolling surface 555 of the stage 553).
Below, a different point from the structure of the game board 4 of the gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described, and the description of the same parts will be omitted.

  In the game board 504, a warp passage that guides a game ball rolling in the game area 7 to the stage 553 is provided in the center accessory 551 that borders the opening 14. Then, the game ball guided to the stage 553 by the warp passage is discharged from the warp outlet 552 to the stage 553 and rolls the rolling surface 555 of the stage 553 in the left-right direction.

  The stage 553 is provided with a third opening / closing accessory starting port 541 and a dropping port 554.

  The third opening / closing accessory starting port 541 is disposed at the center of the rear left and right of the rolling surface 555 of the stage 553. The third opening / closing accessory starting port 541 is formed to open in the front-rear direction, and is configured to allow a game ball to enter (win). Inside the third opening / closing combination starting port 541, a third opening / closing combination starting port sensor (not shown) including a proximity switch is disposed. The third opening / closing accessory starting port sensor is configured to detect the winning and output a winning signal of the third opening / closing accessory starting port 541 when a game ball wins the third opening / closing accessory starting port 541. Is done.

  The drop port 554 is disposed at the front left and right center of the rolling surface 555 of the stage 553. The drop port 554 is formed by cutting out a part of the rolling surface 555 downward, and is configured so that a game ball can fall forward and downward through the location. In addition, the start port 33 for the special figure 1 is disposed directly below the drop port 554. In other words, the game ball that has dropped from the drop opening 554 is likely to win the special figure 1 start opening 33.

  The third opening / closing accessory 543 is disposed on the right side of the game area 7. The third opening / closing member 543 includes a third opening / closing member 545, and the third opening / closing member 545 is configured to allow a game ball to enter (win a prize) therein. Inside the third opening / closing member 543, a third opening / closing member sensor (not shown) including a proximity switch is disposed. The third opening / closing combination sensor is configured to detect the winning and output a winning signal of the third opening / closing combination 543 when the game ball wins the third opening / closing combination 543.

  The third opening / closing member 545 is a pair of blade-like members disposed to face each other. The third opening / closing member 545 is configured to be openable / closable, and can switch whether or not a game ball can be awarded to the third opening / closing member 543. More specifically, when the third opening / closing member 545 is opened, a game ball can be awarded to the third opening / closing accessory 543. Further, when the third opening / closing member 545 is closed, the game ball cannot enter the third opening / closing combination 543.

  The opening operation of the third opening / closing member 545 is mechanically performed in conjunction with the winning of a game ball to the third opening / closing accessory starting port 541. More specifically, when one game ball wins the third opening / closing accessory starting port 541, a release mechanism (not shown) provided in the flow path of the game ball is activated (for example, the hook is released). The three opening / closing members 545 are opened.

  Further, the closing operation of the third opening / closing member 545 is mechanically performed in conjunction with the winning of the game ball to the third opening / closing accessory 543. More specifically, every time a game ball wins the third opening / closing combination 543, a closing mechanism (not shown) provided inside the third opening / closing combination 543 operates (for example, a gear rotates). Then, the third opening / closing member 545 is closed along with the winning of the second game ball after the third opening / closing role 543 is opened.

  As described above, the third opening / closing member 543 is configured to mechanically perform the opening / closing operation of the third opening / closing member 545, and is configured as a so-called second type non-electrically acting member.

  The winning of the game ball to the third opening / closing accessory 543 is handled in the same manner as the winning of the game ball to the start port 34 for special figure 2. That is, when a game ball wins the third opening / closing accessory 543, a big hit determination of the second special symbol game is performed based on the win.

  Note that the rolling surface 555 of the stage 553 has a function as a sorting device that distributes game balls rolling on the rolling surface 555 to the third opening / closing accessory starting port 541 or the dropping port 554. More specifically, the rolling surface 555 is provided with a concave portion or an inclined portion (not shown) so that the game ball rolling on the rolling surface 555 moves difficult to predict. Below, the mode of distribution of game balls by the rolling surface 555 will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 27A, the game ball discharged from the warp outlet 552 to the stage 553 rolls with the rolling surface 555 of the stage 553 facing in the left-right direction.

  Then, when the game ball is rolled backward by the rolling surface 555 (sorting device), as shown in FIG. 27B, the game ball wins the third opening / closing accessory start port 541 ( Will be distributed). Thus, when a game ball wins the third opening / closing combination starting port 541 by the rolling surface 555, it becomes possible to win a game ball to the third opening / closing combination 543. That is, the player can get a challenge per V by making the third opening / closing role 543 win a game ball.

  On the other hand, when the game ball is rolled forward by the rolling surface 555 (sorting device), the game ball falls (sorts) from the drop opening 554 as shown in FIG. Become. Thus, when the game ball falls from the drop opening 554 by the rolling surface 555, the game ball cannot enter the third opening / closing accessory 543 and the player cannot obtain a challenge per V.

  In this way, in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether or not a challenge per V can be obtained according to the distribution by the rolling surface 555 (distribution device).
