Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress irregular shooting when small win occurs in a compound machine type pachinko machine.SOLUTION: A pachinko machine is configured as a compound machine in which lottery for small win and big win is performed, and at the time of small win, a second big win port is opened when a predetermined time has passed since a determination display of a special pattern, and big win occurs when a ball enters a specific region of the second big win port that is opened. In the pachinko machine, wining of big win or small win is reported by pattern performance, and in the pattern performance for small win, a small win pattern 503 is stop-displayed, and the number of pseudo patterns that is stop-displayed at a determination display timing of a special pattern varies every time. Thus, discrimination of determination display timing based on pattern performance is difficult, such that it is difficult to perform irregular shooting which temporarily stops shooting of a game ball when small win is determined because of pattern performance, and then restarts shooting of the game ball at the open timing of a second big win port.

Description

  The present invention belongs to the technical field of ball game machines.

  In the past, ball game machines that have been classified as type 2 (so-called feather-type ball game machines) are determined based on the return of the movement of the game ball, so it is determined whether or not it will be a big hit. It can be said that it is a game configuration that gives pleasure. 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a type of ball game machine called a mixing machine having a gaming configuration in which a feather type gaming configuration and a so-called digipachi type gaming configuration are mixed is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the bullet ball game machine described in Patent Document 1, a big hit and a small win lottery are performed by entering the start opening, and when the big win is won, a big hit game with opening of the big winning opening is performed. On the other hand, when winning a small win, the big winning opening is opened, and if the player enters the big winning opening at this time, the big winning lottery is performed, and if the lottery is won, the big winning win is developed.

  In addition, the ball game machine is configured to display a big win and a small win based on a symbol effect. When winning a small hit, a pseudo symbol corresponding to the small hit in the symbol effect (small hit) The symbol is stopped.

JP 2007-229132 A

  Here, when winning a small win, if the special winning opening is opened after a certain period of time has elapsed after completion of the display of the pseudo-graphic variation by the symbol production, the game ball will be displayed when the winning of the small win is found There is a risk that anomalous hitting may be easily performed that stops the launch of the game ball and resumes the launch of the game ball in accordance with the opening timing of the special winning opening.

  On the other hand, it is thought that it is possible to make irregular beating difficult by changing the variation time of the pseudo symbol, but if the period from the completion of the variable display to the start of the opening of the big prize opening is constant, it will fluctuate The opening timing can be predicted based on the completion of time, which is not very effective. In addition, there was no one that effectively produced a small hit and a big hit with one pseudo pattern.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in the ball and ball game machine of a mixing machine mainly having a feather type game structure, the irregular hitting at the time of occurrence of a small hit, The purpose is to improve performance.

  The invention according to claim 1, which has been made in view of the above problems, controls the progress of a game, displays a lottery of big hits and small hits, and displays a variably displayed pseudo symbol in each of three or more symbol areas. In addition, the present invention relates to a ball game machine provided with a sub-control device that performs a symbol effect for sequentially stopping and displaying pseudo symbols corresponding to the lottery results in each symbol area.

Then, the main control device, when a lottery is performed, a holding storage unit that holds the random number extracted due to the ball entering the start opening, a lottery unit that performs a lottery based on the random number related to the holding storage ,
The display of the special symbol is displayed over the variation time corresponding to the random number related to the holding memory, the display means for displaying the result of the lottery based on the random number, and the special symbol of the variable display for displaying the corresponding selection when winning a small hit After the end, the big winning opening is opened, and when a game ball enters a specific area provided in the big winning opening, a small hit gaming means for performing a small hit game that is considered to be a big hit, A jackpot game means for playing a jackpot game with opening of a winning opening, and a transmission means for transmitting a lottery result and a variation time corresponding to the random number used for the lottery to the sub-control device.

The sub-control device
When the lottery result and the variation time are received, the effect means for performing the symbol effect according to the result, and the symbol region for determining the corresponding region corresponding to the result of the lottery related to the symbol effect in the symbol effect Selecting means.

  In addition, the directing means sets the pseudo symbol indicating the winning of the small hit as the small hit symbol, and in the symbol directing when winning the small hit, at the end of the variation display of the special symbol displaying the corresponding selection, It is assumed that the symbols are stopped and at least one small hit symbol is stopped.

  In the ball game machine according to claim 1, a lottery for big hit and small hit is performed due to the ball entering the start opening, a big hit game is performed when the big hit is reached, and a small hit game is performed when the small hit is reached. However, by entering a specific area of the big winning opening in the small hit game, the small hit is developed into a big hit (per bonus item), and has a configuration as a mixer.

  And according to the invention concerning Claim 1, in the ball game machine comprised as a mixer, the symbol effect which alert | reports the presence or absence of winning of a big hit and a small hit can be performed with one display screen.

  In addition, in the symbol effect for small hits (small hit symbol effect), the number of pseudo symbols (the number of stops) that are stopped at the end of the special symbol variable display (determined display timing) is different each time. Can be.

  For this reason, the player cannot accurately grasp the final display timing from the small-hit symbol effect, and the big winning opening in the small-hit game that starts after the final symbol fixed display timing at the time of winning the small-hit It becomes difficult to grasp the opening timing.

  Therefore, after the occurrence of a small hit is informed in the design effect, it is difficult to irregularly hit the game ball once and stop the game ball from restarting in accordance with the opening timing of the big prize opening by the small hit game, Anomalous strikes can be suppressed.

  In addition, when the number of stops in the small hit symbol effect is less than the number of symbol areas, for example, in the symbol area where the pseudo symbol is not stopped and displayed, the pseudo symbol variation display is continued after the fixed display timing has arrived. When the time has elapsed, the pseudo symbol may be stopped and displayed, or the pseudo symbol variation display may be terminated without performing the pseudo symbol stop display.

  Further, as described in claim 2, the directing means determines a symbol area in which the small hit symbol is to be stopped and displayed from the corresponding region in the symbol effect when the small hit is won, and the symbol area The small hit symbol may be stopped and displayed.

According to such a configuration, in the small hit symbol effect, the position where the small hit symbol indicating the winning of the small hit is stopped and displayed (or the order in which the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed) can be changed every time. . For this reason, in the small hit symbol effect, the period from the point when the small hit symbol is stopped to the opening timing of the big winning opening in the small hit game can be changed every time, making irregular hitting even more difficult Can do.

In addition, it is possible to select the content of the effect from the variation time of the small hit symbol effect, the symbol region where the small hit symbol is stopped, the fixed display timing, etc., and to perform a suitable symbol effect.
In addition, as described in claim 3, there are provided a plurality of types of small hits in which a small hit game with different opening times of the big prize opening is provided, each type being an open type, Among them, an open type with a relatively long opening time of a big prize opening in a small hit game is set as a long-term open type, and an open type with a relatively short open time is set as a short-term open type. Further, based on a random number related to the pending storage, it is determined which of the open types of small hits is won, and if the small hit game means wins the small hits, in the small hit game, according to the open type of the small hits The winning means is opened over the open time, and the transmission means further transmits the winning type of the winning small hit as a result of the lottery to the sub-control device, and the symbol area selecting means indicates that the received lottery result is Long term In the case where the winning for the small hit of the release type is indicated, two or more symbol areas are set as the corresponding areas, and the directing means is the long-term open type in the symbol effect when the small hit is won. In such a case, at the end of the change display of the special symbol for displaying the corresponding selection, two or more small hit symbols are stopped and displayed, and if the small hit is a short-term open type, the corresponding selection is displayed. One small hit symbol may be stopped and displayed at the end of the special symbol variation display.

  According to such a configuration, since an advantageous small hit game is started when two or more small hit symbols are stopped and displayed in the small hit symbol effect, the player first stops and displays the small hit symbol. Expectation can be maintained after a long time.

  In addition, in the small hit symbol effect, since the number of stops of the pseudo symbol at the final display timing is different every time, it is not possible to determine whether the small hit symbol is further stopped after the small hit symbol is stopped. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the player to predict the development of the production, and the production can be performed with high interest.

  Further, as described in claim 4, the directing means causes the same pseudo symbol to be stopped and displayed in all the symbol areas of the effect screen in the symbol effect when winning the big hit, and the small symbol as the pseudo symbol is displayed. A winning symbol may be used.

  According to such a configuration, when reaching by the small hit symbol in the symbol production, it is determined that at least the small hit is won, but after that, by the stop display of the small hit symbol Since the possibility of a big hit remains, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a small hit will develop into a big hit.

  In addition, as described in claim 5, the ball game machine is provided with a plurality of gaming states having different probability of entering the starting opening or winning the lottery. There are multiple types of jackpot games that are different from at least one of the jackpot game content, which is the opening time or the number of times the jackpot is opened, and the game state after the jackpot game. Multiple types of small hits are provided, and each type is a privilege type, and the lottery means further determines which bonus type is won based on a random number related to holding storage in the lottery Then, as a result of the lottery, the transmission means further transmits the bonus type of the winning small hit to the sub-control device, and the sub-control device responds to the symbol effect when winning the small hit. When the number of areas is less than the number of symbol areas, after the number of pseudo-patterns corresponding to the corresponding area is stopped and displayed, the notice regarding the bonus type for the small bonus is displayed in the symbol area where the pseudo-pattern is not stopped and displayed. You may have further the notice means which performs an effect.

  According to such a configuration, when the number of stops in the small bonus symbol effect is less than the number of symbol areas, the number of rounds of the big hit game when the bonus symbol is hit, The game state after the jackpot game can be notified in advance.

  For this reason, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the symbol effect even after the occurrence of the small hit in the symbol effect is determined, and to prevent the player from being greatly discouraged. In addition, the player can face a small hit game after grasping what kind of benefits can be obtained when the bonus hits.

  In addition, as described in claim 6, the jackpot is provided with a plurality of types having different jackpot game contents or game states after the jackpot game, and the notice means is selected when the jackpot is won When the number of corresponding areas is less than the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the number of symbol areas in the symbol effect of, the pseudo symbols corresponding to the number of corresponding areas are stopped and then not displayed. In one of the symbol areas, a notice effect regarding the jackpot big hit game content related to the bonus type of the bonus hit is performed, and in the other symbol areas where the pseudo symbols are not stopped and displayed, A notice effect regarding the game state after the jackpot game may be performed.

  Specifically, for example, if the number of symbol areas is 3, and if the number of stoppages of the small hit symbol effect is 1, one of the two symbol areas where the pseudo symbol is not stopped and displayed at the fixed display timing. It is conceivable that the number of rounds of the big hit game at the time of occurrence of the bonus is notified in advance, and the game state after the big hit game is notified in the other symbol area.

  As a result, when the number of stoppages of the small bonus symbol effect is small, a substantial notice effect is performed, and when the number of stops is small, the performance output is not simply reduced, but instead of the bonus type of bonus Since it is possible to obtain a chance to know the details of the jackpot related to the game in detail, the player can be given joy.

  In addition, as described in claim 7, the transmission means further includes a case where a big winning opening is opened by a small hit game, or a game ball enters the big winning opening during a small hit game. In addition, a small hit signal may be transmitted to the sub-control device, and the notice unit may perform a notice effect when the small hit signal is received.

  According to such a configuration, the notice effect is performed when the big prize opening is opened by the start of the small hit game or when the game ball enters the opened big prize opening. For this reason, the privilege content given by the bonus is not found until the game ball enters the specific area of the big prize opening, and the player's interest in the privilege content can be intrigued.

  In addition, as described in claim 8, when the sub-control device receives the lottery result and the variation time when the lottery result indicates the winning of the small win, the sub-control device performs the notice effect. The symbol area selecting means determines whether or not to give a notice effect by the notice determining means as a corresponding area. The notice means may perform a notice effect according to the decision of the notice determination means.

  According to such a configuration, when a small hit occurs, after determining whether or not to perform a notice effect, the number of stops in the small hit symbol effect is determined according to the determination result. For this reason, it is easy to adjust the frequency of performing the notice effect.

The pachinko machine 50 is configured as a so-called mixer, and executes special lottery determination (big lot and small lot lottery) due to entering the first or second special figure starting ports 22 and 23. . At this time, the symbol change of the special symbol display device 16 and the effect symbol display device 15 is started, and then the fixed symbol of the special symbol is displayed on the special symbol display device 16 and the pseudo symbol corresponding to the special symbol is displayed on the special symbol display device 15. The confirmation result is displayed and the lottery result is notified.

  When the lottery result is a big hit (per direct hit), both the condition device and the accessory continuous operation device operate to shift to a big hit game (special game) in which the first big winning opening 20 is opened in a predetermined manner. On the other hand, in the small hit, only the condition device is operated, and due to this, the second big winning opening 21 is opened in a predetermined manner (small hit game), and the game ball enters the specific area 212 so that the big hit It becomes (per bonus item), and the accessory continuous operation device operates to shift to a big hit game in which the first big winning opening 20 is opened.

  Then, after the big hit game is over, the game state is shortened (the opening time of the second special figure starting port 23 which is a normal electric accessory is extended, based on the special figure which is a direct hit or a small hit, and There is a possibility that the average fluctuation time in the figure becomes short. Note that a gaming state that is not in a time-saving state is referred to as a normal state.

Hereinafter, the details of the operation will be described based on the program processing executed by the main control device 80 and the sub integrated control device 83 (strictly, its CPU).
(2) Main Routine The outline of the “main routine” executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. The “main routine” is composed of the main processing (S100 to S111, S115) and the remaining processing (S112). The main routine is started due to an interrupt signal having a period of 2 ms, and it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S100). . This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (S100: No), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: Yes), the initial value random number update process (S101), the big hit determination random number update process (S102), which is the random value for determining whether or not the special figure is true, and the big hit symbol determination random number update process (S103) ), Normal hit determination random number update processing (S104), regular hit determination random number update processing (S105), reach determination random number update processing for reach (S106), variation pattern determination for variation pattern Random number update processing (S107), winning confirmation processing (S108), success / failure determination processing (S109), each output processing (S110), fraud monitoring processing (S111), until the next interrupt signal is input The initial random number update process (S112) is looped within the remaining time.

(3) Start Port Prize Confirmation Process Next, the start opening prize confirmation process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is configured as a winning confirmation process subroutine called from the main routine.

  In the start opening winning confirmation process, the game balls are confirmed to enter the first and second special figure start openings 22 and 23, and various random number values extracted at the time of entering the ball are determined and whether or not the symbol variation starts or fails ( This is a process of making a prefetch determination prior to (lottery).

  In the “start port winning confirmation process”, first, based on the detection signals of the first and second start ports SW221 and 231, it is confirmed whether or not a game ball has entered the first and second special figure start ports 22 and 23 ( S200). If there is an incoming ball (S200: Yes), it is confirmed whether the number of reserved memories has already reached the upper limit (S201). In the first embodiment, the upper limit number that can be stored is four. If the upper limit number has not been reached (S201: Yes), in the extracted random number holding storage process of S202, a plurality of random number values (random hit determination random number, random hit symbol determination random number, reach determination) extracted due to the above-mentioned ball entry Random numbers, random numbers for determining variation patterns, etc.) are stored as reserved storage.

In the subsequent pre-reading determination process (S203), it is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number stored on hold can provide an effect that makes the player have an expectation prior to the notification of the determination of success / failure due to the fluctuation of the special figure. It is processing to do. Specifically, whether or not the random number value for determining the big hit stored on hold coincides with a predetermined value determined to be per direct hit, and if not, the value determined to be a small hit Whether or not they match, and when neither the direct hit value nor the small hit value matches, it is determined that the game is lost.

Next, in the prefetch determination command transmission process in S204, the result of the prefetch determination in S203 is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a prefetch determination command.
Subsequently, the number of lighting of the special figure hold number display device 17 is increased by 1, and the hold memory number instruction command transmission process for transmitting the current hold memory number to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed (S205). The current pending storage number instruction command transmitted in S205 and the prefetch determination command transmitted in S204 may be combined to transmit the information on the prefetch determination result and the information on the current pending storage number at a time. . After the process of S205, or if S200 and S201 are negative (S200: No, S201: No), the process returns.

(4) About special figure determination process Next, the special figure determination process will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In this process, along with the success / failure determination, the notification content (determined symbol) of the success / failure determination result executed by the effect symbol display device 15 and the symbol variation pattern until the notification content is derived are determined. This process is called from the main routine.

  As shown in FIG. 6, first, it is confirmed whether or not the condition device is not operated (S300). This determination is made based on the jackpot flag. The jackpot flag is a flag that stands when a special drawing lottery is won (when the value of the extracted jackpot determination random number matches a predetermined value). If the condition device is not operated (S300: Yes), it is confirmed whether the variation of the special figure is stopped (S301) or whether the confirmed symbol is not displayed (S302).

  If the special symbol variation is stopped and the confirmed symbol is not displayed (S301: Yes, S302: Yes), it is confirmed whether there is a reserved memory (S303). If there is a reserved memory (S303: Yes), the oldest reserved memory is stored. In order to perform the lottery, the data is read out to the register, and if the pending storage remains, the storage area is shifted (S304). If there is a pending storage by this processing, the oldest pending storage at that time is stored in the storage area for the oldest pending storage.

Following the processing of S304, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit in the stored hold is a value for hitting directly based on a preset determination table (S305).
If it is per direct hit (S305: Yes), the big hit symbol is determined based on the read value of the jackpot symbol determining random number of the reserved memory (S306), the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved memory and the current A variation pattern (variation time) is determined according to the gaming state (short time state, normal state) (S307).

  Next, based on the value of the jackpot symbol determination random number, the contents of the jackpot game (number of rounds, number of times the first big prize opening 20 is opened, opening time, opening effect time, ending effect time, etc.) and the end of the jackpot game The subsequent game state (specifically, whether or not to shift to the short time state after the big hit game ends, the number of continuations in the case of shifting to the short time state, etc.) is set (S308).

If it is not a direct hit (S305: No), it is determined whether or not the value of the big hit determination random number matches the hit value for the small hit determination (S309). If it is a small hit (S309: Yes), the small hit symbol is determined based on the random symbol for determining the big hit symbol (S310), and the variation pattern is determined according to the reach determination random number, the random number for determining the variation pattern, and the current gaming state. (S311). Although details will be described later, there are cases in which a variation pattern that reaches a reach is determined even when a small hit is made.

  Next, in the process of S312, the contents of the small hit game (the opening time (and the number of times of opening) of the second big prize opening 21 in the small hit game) are set based on the random numbers for determining the big hit symbol, A game state after the end of the small hit game is set in the case where the winning combination does not occur during the game. In addition, the contents of the jackpot game when the winning combination is generated and the game state after the jackpot is set are set.

In addition, the type of the big hit game in the case of winning a bonus item, or the type of each big hit with different game state after the big hit game is also referred to as a privilege type.
Also, the types of small hits that cause small hit games with different contents are also referred to as open types. In the first embodiment, as an example, a small hit of an open type (long-term open type) having a relatively long open time and a small hit of an open type (short-term open type) having a relatively short open time are provided. (Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to provide more small hits of open types or a configuration of providing single open type small hits).

  In addition, when a small hit symbol determination random number for determining the small hit symbol is provided, and the content of the small hit game or a bonus hit occurs based on the small hit symbol determination random number instead of the big hit symbol determination random number The contents of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit may be set.

  If it is neither a direct hit nor a small hit (S305: No, S309: No), the determination of success / failure is lost, and a lost symbol is determined (S313). A variation pattern (variation time) is determined based on the value and the current gaming state (S314), and further, the gaming state after the end of symbol variation is set (S315).

  Subsequent to the processing of S308, S312, and S315, the success / failure determination result, the jackpot symbol that is stopped when hit by direct hit, the jackpot game content per hit or per hit, the game state after the jackpot game, A change start command (or change start command indicating these data and a symbol designating command) indicating the change time, the opening type of the small hit, etc. is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the special drawing display device 16 displays the special drawing. A process for variably displaying is performed (S316). After the processing of S316, or if S300 and S303 are negative (S300: No, S303: No), the process proceeds to “big hit game processing”.

  The sub-integrated control device 83 and the like grasp the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot game), the presence / absence of reach, and the variation time based on the variation start command, and perform symbol effects according to this (details will be described later).

  In addition, the determination of the pseudo symbol type and the variation effect type in the symbol effect is not limited to the configuration determined by the sub integrated control device 83, but the configuration determined by the effect symbol control device 82 which is the same sub control device. But you can.

  Returning to the processing of “special drawing win / fail determination processing” in FIG. 6, when the special drawing is changing in the processing of S301 (S301: No), as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the variation time (based on the variation pattern of S307, S311 or S314) has elapsed. If the time has elapsed (S320: Yes), a symbol stop command transmission process for outputting a symbol stop command to the sub-integrated control device 83 is performed, and the special symbol display device 16 is controlled to perform the above-described S306, S310 or S313. The determined symbol is confirmed and displayed (S321).

The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the symbol stop command outputs an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the predetermined pseudo (effect) symbol on the effect symbol control device 82, and the effect symbol control device 82 generates an effect based on the signal. The symbol display device 15 is controlled to display the pseudo (effect) symbol. Thereby, the start and end of the variation of the special symbol and the pseudo (effect) symbol are the same timing (synchronized).

  After the process of S321, it is confirmed whether or not the special figure that has been confirmed and displayed indicates a direct hit (S322). If the jackpot symbol can be confirmed (S322: Yes), a confirmed symbol display setting process (setting time to be displayed in the confirmed symbol) is performed (S323), an operation start process of the condition device is performed (S324), and the consecutive articles Operation start processing of the operating device is performed (S325). Next, it is confirmed whether or not the time reduction flag is 1 (whether or not it is currently in the time reduction state) (S326). If the time reduction flag is 1 (S326: Yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S327). , Shift to “big hit game processing”. If the time flag is not 1 in S326 (S326: No), the process proceeds to “big hit game processing”.

  In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment, the opening / extension function is activated when the hour / hour flag is raised, and the opening / extending function is terminated when the hour / hour flag is lowered. Therefore, the open extension function is also terminated by the process of S327. In addition, during the big hit, since the fluctuation display of the special figure is not executed, the processing of S327 is executed and the time reduction flag is cleared.

  If it is not a big hit symbol in S322 (S322: No), it is confirmed whether or not the special figure indicates a small hit (S328). If the small hit symbol can be confirmed (S328: Yes), a confirmed symbol display setting process (S329) and an operation start process (S330) of the condition device are performed. Next, the time reduction flag is confirmed (S331). If the time reduction flag is 1 (S331: Yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S332), and the counter value of the time reduction counter is stored (S333). It shifts to “hit game processing”. If the time reduction flag is not 1 (S331: No), the process proceeds to “big hit game processing”.

  If it is neither a big hit symbol nor a small hit symbol (S322: No, S328: No), a fixed symbol display setting process is performed (S334), and it is confirmed whether the hourly flag is 1 (S335). If the time reduction flag is 1 (S335: Yes), the stored time reduction count is subtracted (S336), and it is checked whether or not the remaining time reduction count (counter value) is 0 (S337). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S337: Yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S338), and the process proceeds to “big hit game processing”. If the hour / hour flag is not 1 in S335 (S335: No), or if the number of hour / hours is not 0 in S337 (S337: No), the process proceeds to “big hit game processing”.

  If the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 in FIG. 6 (S302: No), in the process of S340 shown in FIG. 8, the set fixed symbol display time (in S323, S329, and S334 in FIG. 7). Check whether or not (setting) has been completed. If the fixed symbol display time has ended (S340: Yes), the special symbol display device 16 is controlled to end the fixed symbol display, and a command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 to display the pseudo (effect) symbol. Is terminated (S341).

(5) About the jackpot game process Next, the "jackpot game process" will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 9, when this process is started, it is confirmed whether the condition device is operating (S400). If the condition device is not operating (S400: No), the process returns. If it is operating (S400: Yes), it is confirmed whether the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S401). If the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S401: No), it is confirmed whether a small hit start effect is being performed (S402). If the small hit start effect is not being performed (S402: No), it is confirmed whether the second big winning opening 21 is open (S403). If not open (S403: No), it is confirmed whether the specific area 212 is valid (S404). If it is not valid (S404: No), it is confirmed whether the small hit end effect is being performed (S405). If the production is in progress (S405: Yes), it is confirmed whether the small hit end production end time has elapsed (S406). If the end time has elapsed (S406: Yes), the operation of the condition device is ended (S407), and then the small hit set in the process of S312 of the “special drawing win / fail determination process” (FIG. 6) is performed. The setting contents are referred to (S408), and it is confirmed whether or not the time reduction state is set (S409). If the time reduction setting is set (S409: Yes), 1 is set in the time reduction flag (S410), the counter value of the time reduction counter is set (S411), and the process returns.

  Further, if the end time of the small hit end effect has not elapsed in the process of S406 (S406: No), and if the time reduction state is not set in the process of S409 (S409: No), the process returns.

  If the small hit end effect is not in effect in the process of S405 (S405: No), a small hit start effect setting process is performed (S415), and in this process, a small hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process returns. . On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 15 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82, but the effect is such that the start timing of the small hit game is difficult to understand. It is desirable to do in.

  If the small hit start effect is being performed in the process of S402 (S402: Yes), it is checked whether the small hit end effect end time has elapsed (S412). If the end time has elapsed (S412: Yes), the second big prize opening 21 is released (S413), and the specific area 212 of the second big prize opening 21 is validated (S414).

  In the second big prize opening process, the second big prize opening solenoid 216 is driven, and the opening / closing member 211 of the second big prize opening 21 is opened according to the small opening type. Also, a small hit game command indicating the start of the small hit game is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.

Thereafter, after the processing of S414 or if it is not the end time of the small hit start effect in S412 (S412: No), the process returns.
If the second grand prize opening 21 is being opened in the process of S403 (S403: Yes), it is confirmed whether the number of winning prizes to the second big prize opening 21 is less than 10 (S416), and if not (S416). : No), it is confirmed whether the opening time end time of the second grand prize winning opening 21 has passed (S417). When the number of winnings is satisfied in the process of S416 (S416: No), or if the opening time has elapsed in the process of S417 (S417: Yes), the closing of the second large winning opening 21 is closed ( S418), return. The opening time is a length of time according to the small opening type.

  If the opening time end time of the second grand prize winning opening 21 has not elapsed in the processing of S417 (S417: No), it is confirmed whether the specific area is valid (S419), and if it is not valid (S419: No), the small hit An end effect setting process is performed (S420). In this process, a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process returns. On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 15 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

If the specific area 212 of the second big winning opening 21 is valid in the processes of S404 and S419 (S404, S419: Yes), is there a prize (winning) in the specific area 212 in the process of S430 shown in FIG. Check. If there is a prize (S430: Yes), an operation start process of the accessory continuous operation device is performed (S431). This process shifts to a jackpot. Next, it is confirmed whether or not the second grand prize opening 21 is open (S432). If it is open (S432: Yes), the second big prize opening 21 is closed (S433). After this processing or if the second grand prize winning opening 21 is not open at S432 (S432: No), the specific area 212 is invalidated (S434), and the bonus hit start effect is set (S435). In the process, a bonus game start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process returns. On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 15 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

  If there is no winning in the process of S430 (S430: No), the player enters the second big winning opening 21 based on the detection signal from the second count SW 214 (S436). If a pitch is detected (S436: Yes), a second big prize entry command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S437), and the process proceeds to S438. If no entry is detected (S436: No), the process proceeds to S438.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the activation period of the specific area 212 has ended (S438). If the determination is negative (S438: No), the process returns. On the other hand, if the determination is affirmative (S438: Yes), the process proceeds to S420 in FIG.

  If the accessory continuous operation device is not operating in the process of S401 of FIG. 9 (S401: No), as shown in FIG. 11, it is confirmed whether the first big prize opening 20 is open (S440). If it is not open (S440: No), it is confirmed whether it is during an interval (S441). If it is not during the interval (S441: No), it is confirmed whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S442). If the end effect is not being performed (S442: No), it is confirmed whether the big hit start effect is being performed (S443). If the start effect is being performed (S443: Yes), it is confirmed whether the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S444), and if the start effect time has elapsed (S444: Yes), the opening process of the first big prize opening 20 is performed. In this process, the first big prize opening solenoid 203 is driven to open the first big prize opening 20 in a predetermined manner in which an opening time or the like is set in advance. For example, the opening time is set to 28 seconds. Then return.

  If the interval is in the process of S441 (S441: Yes), it is confirmed whether the interval end time has passed (S446), and if the end time has passed (S446: Yes), the first big prize opening 20 is opened. Processing is performed (S447).

  If the big hit start effect is not in the process of S443 (S443: No), the big hit start effect setting process is performed (S448), a big hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 in this process, and the process returns. On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 15 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

  If the first grand prize opening 20 is open in the process of S440 (S440: Yes), as shown in FIG. 12, it is confirmed whether or not the prizes to the first big prize opening 20 satisfy the prescribed number of ten. (S450) If the number of winnings is less than 10 (S450: No), it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 20 has ended (S451). If the opening time has not ended (S451: No), the process returns. If the opening time is over (S451: Yes), the first big prize opening 20 is closed (S452), and it is confirmed whether the final round of the big hit game is over (S453). If the final round has not ended (S453: No), a big hit interval setting process is performed (S454). In this process, a big hit interval command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process returns.

  If the final round is ended (S453: Yes), a big hit end effect setting process is performed (S455), a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process returns. On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 15 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S442 in FIG. 11 (S442: Yes), it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot end effect time has elapsed as shown in FIG. 13 (S460). If it has not elapsed (S460: No), the process returns. If it has elapsed (S460: Yes), the condition device stop process (S461) and the accessory continuous operation apparatus stop process (S462) are performed.

  Next, with reference to the setting contents per hit or small hit set in the processing of S308 or S312 of the “special drawing determination processing” (FIG. 6) (S463), it is confirmed whether or not the short-time state is set. (S464). If the time reduction setting is set (S464: Yes), 1 is set in the time reduction flag (S465), the counter value of the time reduction counter is set (S466), and the process returns.

(6) About the design effect Next, the design effect in the first embodiment will be described.
When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the change start command from the main control device 80, the effect design control device 82 or the effect symbol display device 15 performs the above-described symbol effect. In the symbol effect, the change indicated by the change start command is performed. After the pseudo symbol variation display is performed in a pattern according to the time, the pseudo symbol corresponding to the result of the determination or the like is stopped and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the design effect, on the effect screen 500 displayed on the effect symbol display device 15, the right symbol region 501, the middle symbol region 502, and the left symbol region 503 are arranged in the left-right direction. A symbol area is provided and a pseudo-variable display is performed in each symbol area (in addition, an animal character named Tatsuyoshi Bear is displayed on the effect screen).

  Then, when the pseudo symbol stop display is made in the order of the left symbol region 503, the right symbol region 501, and the middle symbol region 502, the variation time has elapsed, and when the symbol stop command is received from the main controller 80 (in other words, At the time when the special symbol variation display is terminated and the special symbol is stopped and displayed, hereinafter, also referred to as a fixed display timing), all or a part of the pseudo symbols are stopped and displayed.

  Of course, the order of the stop display of the pseudo symbols in each symbol area is not limited to this. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which performs the variable display of a pseudo | simulation symbol in two or four or more symbol area | regions.

  In addition, a plurality of types of pseudo symbols are provided, and one of them is a small hit symbol 504 indicating a winning of a small bonus. Then, in the symbol effect at the time of winning the small hit (small hit symbol effect), one or two small hit symbols 504 are stopped and displayed at the fixed display timing, and are stopped and displayed at the fixed display timing. The number of pseudo symbols (the number of stops) is changed.

  Specifically, in the case of the small hit symbol effect for the short hits of the short-term opening type, one small hit symbol 504 is stopped and displayed at the final display timing. For this reason, for example, when a small hit symbol is first stopped in the left symbol region 503, the left stop state in which the pseudo symbol is stopped and displayed only in the left symbol region 503 at the final display timing (the number of stops is 1). ), Left and right stop states in which pseudo symbols are stopped and displayed in the left and right symbol regions 503 and 501 (the number of stops is 2), and all stop states in which pseudo symbols are stopped and displayed in all the symbol regions 501 to 503 (the number of stops). Is one of 3) (FIGS. 14A to 14C).

In this way, when the left symbol stops, there is a possibility that the display is stopped as it is, so the player can have high tension and expectation from the time of the first symbol stop.
In addition, if the timing of the final display is set not only at the time of small hit but also at the time of losing, it will not be possible to know where the final display will be displayed when any symbol stops, and the player will have a high degree of tension. You can enjoy fluctuating production.

  In the left stop state and left / right stop state, in the remaining symbol areas, the variable display may be continued after the fixed display timing, and the pseudo symbol may be stopped and displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed. Alternatively, the variable display may be terminated.

  Of course, in the small hit design effect of the short-term opening type, the small hit symbol 504 may be stopped and displayed in the middle symbol region 502 or the right symbol region 501. When it is stopped and displayed in the middle symbol area 502, it is in a fully stopped state at the fixed display timing (FIG. 15A), and when it is stopped and displayed in the right symbol area 501, the fixed display timing is It will be in a stop state or it will be in a complete stop state (FIG.15 (b)).

  When combined with the above-described fixed display timing, it is not known at which point the small hit symbol is displayed, and even if the small hit symbol is displayed, the fixed display timing is not known. There is also an effect that it becomes difficult to predict the timing at which the player will release and hit the game ball only at the timing to release.

  On the other hand, in the case of the small hit symbol effect for the small hits of the long-term opening type, the two small hit symbols 504 are stopped and displayed at the final display timing. For this reason, the number of stops is 2 or more, and at the final display timing, the left / right stop state or the all stop state is set. FIG. 16 shows an example of the effect screen 500 in the case of full stoppage at the final display timing in the small hit symbol effect of the long-term opening type.

  If the symbol effect is performed by four or more symbol regions, it may be configured that three or more small hit symbols 504 are stopped and displayed at the final display timing in the long-term opening type small hit symbol effect.

  In addition, in the case of the directing effect in the case of direct hit, the effect display screen 500 at the fixed display timing is in a state where the same pseudo symbol is stopped and displayed in all the symbol areas, and the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in each symbol area. (FIGS. 17A and 17B). In addition, in the case of symbol production that is lost (when neither winning nor winning per direct hit), the regular display (pseudo symbols other than the small hit symbol) that is different in each symbol area is stopped on the effect display screen 500 at the final display timing. The displayed state is obtained (FIG. 17C).

  Further, after the same normal symbol 505 is stopped and displayed in the right and left symbol regions 501 and 503 to reach, the effect of stopping and displaying the small hit symbol 504 in the middle symbol region 502 at the fixed display timing can be performed. (FIG. 18 (a)).

  According to such an effect, it is not known until the confirmation display timing whether it is a direct hit, a small hit, or a loss, and it is possible to give a small hit while having a sense of expectation for the direct hit. Yes, you can entertain the player.

  In addition, after the small hit symbol 504 is stopped and displayed in the right and left symbol areas 501 and 503 to reach, the effect that the normal symbol 505 is stopped and displayed in the middle symbol area 502 at the fixed display timing can also be performed. 18 (b)).

  According to such an effect, when the two small hit symbols 504 are stopped and displayed, the occurrence of at least a long-term open type small hit is confirmed, and thereafter, the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a small hit will develop per hit.

(7) About the notice effect When the small hit symbol effect is performed, the sub integrated control device 83 uses the symbol area in which the pseudo symbol is not stopped and displayed at the final display timing, and the bonus hit is generated by the small hit game. In the event of a big hit game, a notice effect is made to give suggestions regarding the contents of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit game.

  Specifically, in the small symbol design effect of the short-term opening type, if the small symbol 504 is stopped and displayed in the left symbol region 503 and is in a left-right stopped state at the final display timing, the middle symbol region 502 is displayed. Then, a round notice 506 indicating the number of rounds of the big hit game per bonus item is made (FIG. 19A).

  In addition, in the small hit symbol design of the short-term opening type, if the small hit symbol 504 is stopped and displayed in the left symbol area 503 and is in the left stop state at the final display timing, the round notice 506 is displayed in the middle symbol area 502. In addition, in the right symbol area 501, a shift to the short time state is made after the big hit game, and a short time notice 507 indicating the number of times the short time state is continued is made (FIG. 19B).

  This notice effect is performed at any timing in the period from the start of the small hit symbol effect (more preferably, after the fixed display timing in the small hit symbol effect) to the start of the big hit game by the bonus. However, for example, it may be performed at the following timing.

  That is, when the small hit symbol 504 is stopped and displayed in the left symbol region 503 in the short-term opening type small hit symbol effect, and then the left stop state is entered at the fixed display timing (FIG. 20A), A notice effect may be performed in the right and middle symbol areas 501 and 502 at the timing when the game is started and the second big prize opening 21 is opened (FIG. 20B). If this is the case, it is possible to know what kind of jackpots and benefits can be obtained by entering the ball now, and it is possible to provide interest in entering the ball.

  In such a case, a notice effect may be performed in the same manner at the timing when a game ball enters the second big prize opening 21 during the small hit game (FIG. 20C). If this is the case, it is possible to know what kind of jackpot and privilege can be obtained if the entered game ball reaches the specific area 212, and it is possible to give interest to the behavior of the entered game ball.

  In addition to this, when the second big prize opening 21 is opened by the start of the small hit game, one of the round notice 506 and the short time notice 507 is performed, and the second big prize place 21 is entered during the small hit game. When a game ball enters, the other of these may be notified.

  Further, in the small hit symbol effect, when the left and right stop state is entered at the final display timing, the notice effect may be performed using the middle symbol region 502 at the same timing. In addition, a configuration in which a notice is also displayed at the final display timing can be considered. If this is the case, it is possible to wait for the opening of the second big prize opening 21 after grasping the contents of the big hit and the privilege, and it is possible to give interest to the small hit game. Further, the notice effect may be performed using an area other than the symbol area.

(8) Symbol area determination processing 1 Next, in response to receiving the variation start command, the symbol effect is started in a pattern corresponding to the variation time indicated by the variation start command, and the number of stops in the small hit symbol effect is determined. The symbol area determination process 1 to be performed will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is executed at periodic timing by the sub integrated control device 83.

  In S600, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a change start command has been received from the main control device 80, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S600: Yes), the process proceeds to S601, and If a negative determination is obtained (S600: No), this process ends.

  In S601, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the result is a hit determination result, a big hit symbol that is stopped when hit per hit, a hit per hit or a change start command or a symbol designation command received together with the change start command. The contents of the big hit game per hit, the gaming state after the big hit game, the variation time, the opening type of the small hit, etc. are discriminated. Then, based on the determination result, the pseudo symbol to be stopped and displayed by the symbol effect is determined.

  In subsequent S602, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not it has been won per direct hit, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S602: Yes), the process proceeds to S609 and a negative determination is obtained. If YES in step S602, the process proceeds to step S603.

  In S603, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the small hit is won, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S603: Yes), the process proceeds to S604 and a negative determination is obtained. If it is found (S603: No), the process proceeds to S609.

  In S604, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the variation time indicated by the variation start command is equal to or greater than a third stop time that is a predetermined threshold. When an affirmative determination is obtained (S604: Yes), the process proceeds to S605, and when a negative determination is obtained (S604: No), the process proceeds to S606.

  For example, the third stop time is the reference variation mode, the left symbol stops 5 seconds after the start of variation, the right symbol stops 2 seconds later, and finally the middle symbol stops 3 seconds later In the case where it is to be determined, it is determined whether the variation time is longer than 10 seconds, which is the time during which the third symbol to be stopped stops. For example, if you want to stop the small-hit symbol with a middle symbol in a variable time of only 5 seconds, the time for the first stop and the second stop will also change, so it will be easily noticed by the player. It is. Only when the symbol area is selected based on whether it can be changed at the reference stop timing, it is not possible to know where the final display is made.

  In S605, the sub-integrated control device 83 executes the symbol area selection process 1 for determining the number of stops described above within a range of 1 to 3 and determining the symbol area (stop area) where the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed. , The process proceeds to S609.

  In S606, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the variation time indicated by the variation start command is equal to or longer than a second stop time that is a predetermined threshold. Note that the second stop time is shorter than the third stop time. When an affirmative determination is obtained (S606: Yes), the process proceeds to S607, and when a negative determination is obtained (S606: No), the process proceeds to S608.

When the small hit is the long-term open type, the fluctuation time is equal to or longer than the second stop time.
In S607, the sub integrated control device 83 determines the number of stops described above to be 1 or 2, and executes a symbol area selection process 2 for determining a symbol area where the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to S609. To do.

In S608, the sub integrated control device 83 determines the number of stops as described above to 1 and executes a symbol area selection process 3 for determining a symbol area in which the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to S609.

  In S609, the sub integrated control device 83 determines the content of the symbol effect according to the variation time indicated by the variation start command, presence / absence of direct hit / small hit, big hit symbol, etc., and presence / absence of reach. Is started and the present process is terminated.

  The sub-integrated control device 83 that performs the symbol effect stops displaying the pseudo symbols in the order of the left symbol region, the right symbol region, and the middle symbol region every time a predetermined time passes and receives the symbol stop command. Is a fixed display timing, and a pseudo symbol corresponding to the determination result or the like is stopped and displayed. In addition, it is good also as a structure which counts the elapsed time from the time of receiving a change start command in the sub integrated control apparatus 83, and pinpoints a fixed display timing based on the change time which a change start command shows.

  Further, when performing the small hit symbol effect, the sub integrated control device 83 stops the pseudo symbol of the number of stops at the fixed display timing, and the stop region determined in the symbol region selection processes 1 to 3 The small hit symbol or the normal symbol is stopped and displayed so that the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, as described above, in the short-term opening type small hitting symbol effect, one small hitting symbol is stopped and displayed at the fixed display timing, and in the long-term opening type small hitting, two small hits are displayed at the fixed display timing. The symbol is stopped and displayed.

These processes correspond to the rendering means in the claims.
(9) Symbol area selection processing 1 Next, the number of stops is determined in the range of 1 to 3 and the symbol area selection processing 1 for determining the stop area of the small hit symbol is performed using the flowchart of FIG. I will explain. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the symbol area determination process 1.

  In S620, the sub integrated control device 83 determines the number of stops in the range of 1 to 3 by lottery and determines the stop area of the small hit symbol from the left, middle, and right symbol areas (in other words, The order in which the small hit symbols are stopped and displayed is determined), and the process proceeds to S621. When the small hit is the long-term open type, the number of stops is determined to be 2 or more, and two symbol areas are determined as stop areas.

  In S621, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the number of stops is 3, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S621: Yes), it sets the area flag to 3 (S625), and performs this process. finish.

In S651, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the region flag is 3, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S651: Yes), the process proceeds to S658 and a negative determination is obtained. In the case (S651: No), the process proceeds to S652.

  In S652, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the area flag is 2, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S652: Yes), the process proceeds to S656 and a negative determination is obtained. In the case (S652: No), the process proceeds to S653.

  In S653, the sub integrated control device 83 clears the area flag. Thereafter, a round notice flag indicating execution of the round notice is set (S654), a time notice flag indicating execution of the time notice is set (S655), and this process is terminated. In S654 and S655, it may be determined by lottery whether round notice or hourly notice is to be performed, and a round notice flag or hourly notice flag may be set according to the decision result.

On the other hand, in S656, after subtracting the area flag, the sub integrated control device 83 sets a round notice flag indicating execution of the round notice (S657), and ends this process.
Note that a short time notice flag may be set instead of the round notice flag. Further, it may be determined whether or not to make a round notice (or short notice) by lottery, and a round notice flag or the like may be set according to the decision result.

In S658, the sub integrated control device 83 clears the area flag, and then ends this process.
(13) About the notice effect process 1 Next, the notice effect process 1 which performs a round notice is demonstrated using the flowchart of Fig.25 (a). This process is executed when a small hit game command is received from the main control device 80 indicating that the second big prize opening 21 has been opened by the small hit game.

In S670, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the small hit game command from the main control device 80, and shifts the processing to S671.
In S671, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the round notice flag is 1, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S671: Yes), the process proceeds to S672 and a negative determination is obtained. If this is the case (S671: No), this process ends.

  In S672, the sub integrated control device 83 executes the above-described round notice and clears the round notice flag (S673), and then ends this process. In addition, a short time notice may be performed instead of the round notice.

(14) About notice effect process 2 Next, the notice effect process 2 which performs a short time notice is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.25 (b). This process is executed when a second big prize opening entry command indicating that a game ball has entered the second big prize opening 21 during the small hit game is received from the main control device 80.

In S680, the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the second grand prize entry command from the main control device 80, and the process proceeds to S681.
In S681, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the hourly warning flag is 1, and when an affirmative determination is obtained (S681: Yes), the process proceeds to S682 and a negative determination is obtained. If this is the case (S681: No), this process ends.

  In S682, the sub integrated control device 83 executes the above-mentioned hourly warning, clears the hourly warning flag (S683), and ends this process. The round notice may be performed instead of the short notice.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the outline | summary of operation | movement of the pachinko machine 50 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated.
In the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment, a lottery per direct hit or a small hit is performed as in the first embodiment. When a winning hit is made per direct hit or when a bonus hit occurs due to a small hit game, a big hit game is performed and a symbol effect or a notice effect is performed as in the first embodiment.

  However, in the first embodiment, it is determined whether or not the notice effect is performed according to the number of stops in the small hit symbol effect, whereas in the second embodiment, whether or not the notice effect is performed first is determined. The difference is that the number of stops is determined according to the determination result.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment, the main control device 80 performs the same processing as in the first embodiment, but the processing of the sub integrated control device 83 and the like is partially different.
Below, operation | movement of the pachinko machine 50 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated centering on difference with 1st Embodiment.

(1) Symbol area determination process 2 Next, in response to receiving the variation start command, the symbol effect is started in a pattern corresponding to the variation time indicated by the variation start command, and the notice effect that is performed with the small hit symbol effect The symbol area determination process 2 for determining the presence / absence, the number of stops, etc. will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is executed at periodic timing by the sub integrated control device 83.

In S700, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a change start command has been received from the main control device 80. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S700: Yes), the process proceeds to S701, and If a negative determination is obtained (S700: No), this process ends.

  In S701, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines the success / failure determination result and the like, similarly to S601 of the symbol area determination processing 1, and determines the pseudo symbol to be stopped and displayed by the symbol effect based on the determination result, and the processing in S702 To migrate.

  In S702, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not it has been won per direct hit, and if a positive determination is obtained (S702: Yes), the process proceeds to S715 and a negative determination is obtained. If it is found (S702: No), the process proceeds to S703.

  In S703, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the small hit is won, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S703: Yes), the process proceeds to S704 and a negative determination is obtained. If it is found (S703: No), the process proceeds to S715.

  In S704, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not to execute the round notice and whether or not to execute the short notice by lottery, and shifts the process to S705. In addition, when the small hit is the long-term open type, it is determined whether the notice effect is not performed or only the round notice is performed.

  In S705, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the decision to execute the round notice is made, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S705: Yes), the process proceeds to S706 and is denied. If the determination is obtained (S705: No), the process proceeds to S713.

In S706, the sub integrated control device 83 sets a round notice flag, and proceeds to S707.
In S707, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the decision to execute the short time notice has been made, and if an affirmative determination is obtained (S707: Yes), the process proceeds to S708 and is denied. If the determination is obtained (S707: No), the process proceeds to S711.

In S708, the sub integrated control device 83 sets a time reduction notice flag, and the process proceeds to S709.
In S709, the sub integrated control device 83 sets the area flag to 1 (sets the number of stops to 1), determines the stop area of the small hit symbol as the left stop area (S710), and shifts the process to S715. To do.

  On the other hand, in S711, which shifts to the case where a negative determination is obtained in S707 (when only the round notice is performed), the sub-integrated control device 83 sets the area flag to 2 (sets the stop count to 2). . Then, the stop area of the small hit symbol is selected from the left and right stop areas by lottery (S712), and the process proceeds to S715. When the small hit is the long-term open type, the left and right stop areas are determined as stop areas.

  Moreover, in S713 which transfers to the case where a negative determination is obtained in S705 (when the notice effect is not performed), the sub integrated control device 83 sets the area flag to 3 (sets the number of stops to 3). . Then, by a lottery, a stop area of a small hit symbol is selected from the left, middle, and right stop areas (S714), and the process proceeds to S715. When the small hit is the long-term release type, two stop areas are determined as stop areas.

In S715, the sub integrated control device 83 starts the symbol effect in the same manner as S609 in the symbol area determination process 1, and ends this process.
As in the first embodiment, the sub integrated control device 83 that performs the symbol effect sets the pseudo symbol corresponding to the determination result or the like at the final display timing. Further, in the case of performing the small hit symbol effect, the pseudo number of the stop number is stopped and displayed at the final display timing, and the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the stop area determined in this process.

These processes correspond to the rendering means in the claims.
(2) Other processes Also in the second embodiment, the sub integrated control device 83 performs the notice effect processes 1 and 2 similar to those in the first embodiment, and the round notice flag and the short time notice flag are set. If there is a game, a round advance notice or a short notice is given in response to the reception of the small hit game command or the second big prize entry ball command.

[effect]
According to the pachinko machine 50 of the first and second embodiments, it is possible to notify the presence / absence of winning per direct hit and small hit through a common symbol effect.

  In addition, since the number of pseudo symbols that are stopped and displayed at the fixed display timing (the number of stops) is different each time in the small hit symbol effect, the player cannot grasp the fixed display timing from the small hit symbol effect, It becomes difficult to grasp the opening timing of the second big prize opening 21 in the winning game.

  Therefore, it becomes difficult to irregularly hit the game ball once it is generated from the symbol effect, and then temporarily stop the game ball and restart the game ball when the second big prize opening 21 is released by the small hit game. It is possible to deter irregular strikes.

[Other Embodiments]
(1) Although the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments has a short-time state as a gaming state, in addition to this, even if a probability variation state in which the winning probability per direct hit or small hit increases is provided. good. In the notice effect, in addition to whether or not to shift to the short-time state after a big hit game by hitting an accessory, whether or not to shift to the probability variation state, the number of times of the probability variation state, etc. may be suggested. Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.

  (2) In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, the first and second grand prize winning ports 20 and 21 are provided with two big prize winning openings. A configuration in which only a mouth is provided, and a structure in which a small winning game and a big winning game are performed by opening the large winning opening is also possible. Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.

  In that case, it is possible to consider a gameability that allows the player to shift to the next round by winning a specific area during the round. If a prize cannot be won during a round, the jackpot game ends in that round, so that the jackpot game can be continued to the end or the game can be highly tense.

  (3) In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments, in the symbol production, the pseudo symbol is stopped in the order of the left symbol region, the right symbol region, and the middle symbol region, but the stop symbol is displayed. The order of the symbol areas may be changed. Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.

(4) Further, the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments may be configured as an encapsulated pachinko machine that plays a game by circulating a predetermined number of game balls enclosed therein. Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.

  (5) When the main control device 80 of the pachinko machine 50 according to the first and second embodiments wins the small hit, first, only the condition device is activated (S330 of the special figure determination process). The two big winning holes 21 are opened and the small hit game is started (S413 of the big hit game process). When a winning in the specific area 212 occurs in the small hit game (S430: Yes), the accessory continuous operation device is operated (S431) to generate a bonus hit.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the main control device 80 wins the small hit, the main control device 80 starts the small hit game without activating the condition device, and then moves to the specific area 212 in the small hit game. If a prize is generated, the condition device and the accessory continuous operation device may be operated to generate a winning combination.

Even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.
