Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine enabling transition to an advantageous state for generating big win because of "ceiling reach".SOLUTION: A normal electric accessory includes an opening/closing member 23 capable of displacing under operation. Gradual change is made by open displacement of the opening/closing member 23 from a closed state, in which entering of a ball into a second special pattern start port 22B is impossible, to an open state in which entering of a ball is easier than in the closed state. An open operation returning from the open state to the closed state can be executed for a predetermined open period in a predetermined operation mode. A benefit for big win is provided with an open extension function for extending a predetermined open period of the second special pattern start port 22B with a limit of time-shortening frequency after big win game, and during operation of the open extension function, normal variation time is shorter than non-operation time of the open extension function while being set longer through a predetermined open period which is caused by a single operation of the normal electric accessory. However, in a special operation mode, ball entry rate at the second special pattern start port 22B is set to be lower during operation than during non operation of the open extension function.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine having an opening extension function for an ordinary electric accessory.

A pachinko machine as a gaming machine may be provided with a function to relieve a deeply addicted player by generating a big hit on condition that the losing has continued for a predetermined number of times, that is, a so-called ceiling function. I can't.
However, from the player's point of view, it has been expected as a function that we want to have by all means because we can play without incurring high risks.

On the other hand, it is premised on a configuration in which the benefits that can be obtained such as a winning ball or a short-time state are greatly advantageous when a big hit occurs in a normal state, rather than when a big hit occurs in a probable state. In the probability variation state, the probability variation state occupies most of the game by setting the probability variation state to the probability variation state with a high probability by a big hit as a so-called frequency cut that ends the probability variation state at a predetermined number of times (ST number). A gaming machine (for example, Patent Document 1) has been devised in which when the loss reaches a predetermined number of times and shifts to an advantageous normal state, this is expressed as “arrival on the ceiling”.
In such a gaming machine, the relationship between the level of advantage generally set for the probability change state and the normal state is reversed, and the number of lost times in the probability change state with a low advantage reaches the predetermined number of times. By positioning as “arrival to the ceiling” and shifting to the normal state having a high degree of advantage after the probability variation state is finished, it is possible to provide a function similar to the so-called ceiling function without violating the rules.
As a result, even if the loss continues until the predetermined number of times is reached during the probability change state, a bonus is obtained by winning a big hit after that, so It is possible to reduce the burden on the player and to prevent a decrease in the willingness to play during the game.

JP 2009-039299 A

However, for example, the above-described function of the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 has only shifted to a normal state in which an advantageous privilege can be acquired if a big hit is reached when a certain number of misses have reached a certain number of times. . In other words, if you can win a big hit, it will only be advantageous, not to get a big hit by `` arrival at the ceiling '', but because it is a normal state, the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory does not operate, Even the entrance rate to the starting point to generate a big hit has not been advantageous. That is, even when “arrival at the ceiling” is achieved, it is advantageous when a big hit can be generated, but it is not in an advantageous state for generating a big hit.
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of shifting to an advantageous state for generating a big hit by “arrival at the ceiling”.

The present invention described in claim 1
A general start port that is provided in the game area and through which game balls can pass,
A normal / unusual determination means for determining whether or not to win based on the passing of the game ball to the normal start opening;
Based on the result of the determination of whether or not to determine a normal figure, a normal figure fluctuation display control means for causing the normal figure fluctuation display means to variably display over a predetermined normal figure fluctuation time;
A normal electric accessory that operates when the result of the determination of whether or not the normal figure is successful,
A first start port provided in the game area and allowing a game ball to always enter;
A second starting port provided in the ordinary electric accessory;
Special figure success / failure determination means for determining whether or not to make a big hit based on a random number value obtained due to a game ball entering the first start opening or the second start opening;
Special figure fluctuation display control means for variably displaying special symbols on the special figure fluctuation display means based on the result of the special figure success / failure determination;
A jackpot game control means for executing a jackpot game when the result of the special figure win / fail determination is a jackpot,
The ordinary electric accessory is
An opening / closing member displaceable by the operation is provided, and the opening / closing member changes from a closed state in which entry into the second starting port is impossible to an opening state in which entry into the second starting port is easier than in the closed state. An opening operation that gradually changes according to the opening displacement of the opening and closing member and gradually changes from the opening state to the closed state by the closing displacement of the opening and closing member and returns to the predetermined operation mode over a predetermined opening time. Is executable and
Further provided with a privilege granting means for granting a privilege when the big hit,
The privilege granted by the privilege granting means is:
After the jackpot game, it has at least an opening extension function for extending the predetermined opening time of the second start port with a predetermined period as a deadline,
When the open extension function is activated, the predetermined normal fluctuation time is set shorter and longer than the predetermined open time of the ordinary electric accessory than when the open extension function is not activated. By adopting a special mode of operation, the entrance rate of the second starting port is made lower during operation than when the open extension function is not operated.
It is characterized by that.

  The above-mentioned predetermined opening time is the time required for the opening operation that is executed in response to one operation of the ordinary electric accessory based on the result of the determination of whether or not the normal figure is successful. It is. Further, “through” relating to the setting of the predetermined opening time means that the time required for opening operation corresponding to one operation of the ordinary electric accessory is accumulated by the number of times of opening operation. This suggests a technique for calculating the total time required. In this case, the opening operation subject to calculation of the required time is only required to be in the open state of the present invention, and the opening / closing angle of the opening / closing member, the opening size, the number of opening operations In many cases, it does not depend on the uniformity of the mode of the opening operation.

The special figure success / failure determination means includes, for example, a first special figure success / failure determination means and a second special figure success / failure determination means in order to individually perform the special figure success / failure determination at the first start port and the second start port. May be. In that case, the big hit by the second special figure winning / decision judging means is more advantageous than the big hit by the first special figure winning / deciding means (the number of prize balls and the game state after the big hit game are more advantageous (provided with certainty). Or a big hit with a high degree of advantage with respect to time-short non-granting) or the like, or the second special figure success / failure determination is executed in preference to the first special figure success / failure determination. It is possible.
With this configuration, when the opening extension function is not activated, in addition to the premise that it is easy to enter the second starting port, the big hit caused by the ball entering from the first starting port to the second starting port. In addition, since the determination of whether or not a special figure is caused by entering the second starting port is given priority over the first starting port, the advantageous big hit is effective during the operation of the open extension function. It is possible to provide a gameability that a game can be easily obtained.

  The predetermined period as the time limit for the operation of the opening extension function may be a period defined by the so-called short-time number of times as the opening extension period, for example. There may be. As a result, the configuration in which the open extension function reaches the operation deadline regardless of the operation state of the other functions and the configuration in which the operation expiration date is reflected reflecting the operation state of the other functions are included. By making the end timing of the operation various, it is possible to make the game rich in variations.

  A special operation mode in which the entrance rate of the second starting port is lower during operation than when the open extension function is not operated. In the case of a configuration in which the number of times of activation is greater than that of non-operation, the speed related to the opening and closing displacements of the opening / closing member (in other words, the time required for any one of the displacements) is the operation of the opening extension function. It is set to be the same for both time and non-operation. If the same setting is made in this way, the time required for a state in which a player cannot enter a ball during one opening operation (regardless of the number of times the opening operation is performed) in both cases of operation and non-operation ( Stay time) is the same. In other words, the time required for the inaccessible state, which is necessary for generating a state in which the opening and closing member gradually enters the opening and closing displacement only once and can enter the ball, can be either during operation or during non-operation. The same can be said for. Therefore, during operation, the number of opening operations is set to be higher than that during non-operation, so that the time during which the ball cannot enter is occupied in the cumulative opening time calculated by the product of the required time and the number of opening operations. The ratio is higher than that of non-operation when the number of opening operations is relatively small, and when compared with the same cumulative opening time as a reference, the entrance rate is configured to be lower when operated. good. As a result, it is possible to generate a state in which the entrance rate is low while the cumulative opening time is longer during operation than during non-operation.

  The speed related to the opening displacement and the closing displacement of the opening / closing member of the ordinary electric accessory may not be the same. For example, the open displacement from the closed state to the open state is set at a relatively high speed as a suction operation by applying a predetermined voltage to the solenoid, and conversely, the close displacement is an energizing force that biases the solenoid in the direction of returning. Due to the action of the spring as the biasing means, the return operation performed after the application of the predetermined voltage is set at a relatively low speed. Thus, the speeds of the opening displacement and the closing displacement may be non-identical. Further, the closing displacement may be set at a higher speed than the opening displacement. In any case, it is sufficient that these speeds are the same when the open extension function is activated and when it is not activated.

The present invention described in claim 2
In the gaming machine according to claim 1,
The privilege is a probability variation function that changes the determination probability to be a big hit of the special figure success / failure determination from a normal low probability to a high probability higher than the low probability, and the special probability success / failure when in the high probability state. A falling lottery is performed before the execution of the determination, and if the winner is won in the lottery, a falling function that varies from the high probability to the low probability is further provided,
The probability variation function is activated when the opening extension function is activated, and the opening extension function is deactivated when the fall function is activated.
It is characterized by that.

When the predetermined period as the deadline of the operation of the opening extension function is, for example, a period defined by the so-called time reduction number as the opening extension period, the time reduction number is set before the falling function is activated, that is, when the falling lottery is won. Even if the limit is reached and the upper limit is reached, it will be deactivated.
In addition, when the predetermined period as the deadline of the operation of the open extension function is the operation period of the probability changing function (that is, when the open extension function does not have its own upper limit of operation), the start and end of the operation are the same. Therefore, the probability changing function and the opening extension function are configured as one privilege, and the fall function is positioned as a function that triggers termination of the privilege.

The present invention according to claim 3 provides:
In the gaming machine according to claim 1,
The privilege is a probability variation function that changes the determination probability to be a big hit of the special figure success / failure determination from a normal low probability to a high probability higher than the low probability, and the special probability success / failure when in the high probability state. A falling lottery is performed before the execution of the determination, and if the winner is won in the lottery, a falling function that varies from the high probability to the low probability is further provided,
The probability changing function is activated at the same time as the opening extension function is activated, and the opening extension function is not deactivated even when the falling function is activated.
The privilege granting means
If the probability of hitting the jackpot when the opening extension function is not activated at a high probability and the jackpot when the opening extension function is not activated is lower than the case of hitting the jackpot when the opening extension function is not activated,
It is characterized by that.

As another configuration, the open extension function grant rate is different between the low probability when the power is restored and the open extension function is inactive, and the low probability after the big hit has occurred and the open extension function is inactive. Such a configuration is also conceivable.
More specifically, it is provided with a specific flag that is set to 1 when a big hit occurs for the first time after power-on, and the same low probability and open extension function depending on whether or not 1 is set in the specific flag Even when the game state is inactive, the different game states are distinguished. When the bonus granting contents set for each predetermined jackpot symbol is a low probability of the gaming state at the time of jackpot and the opening extension function is inactive, when a specific flag is set to 0, When the open extension function grant rate is relatively high and 1 is set in a specific flag, the open extension function grant rate is set relatively low. Thereby, even when the open probability extension function is not activated and in the gaming state, the morning is prevented by setting a disadvantage when the power is turned on.

The present invention according to claim 4 provides:
In the gaming machine according to claim 1 to claim 3,
Main control means for overall control of the game;
Production means for performing production related to the game;
Sub control means for executing an effect according to the effect control command from the main control means by the effect means;
A plurality of types of the special designs,
The privilege granting means
When providing the opening extension function, the predetermined period is set to at least a short opening extension period and a long opening extension period according to the type of the special symbol,
The sub-control means includes
Execute a special effect as to whether or not the opening extension function continues at the end of the short opening extension period;
It is characterized by that.

  As the number of types of the short open extension period and the long open extension period is set to a larger number, the opportunity for directing whether or not the open extension period executed at the end of the short open extension period will continue increases. Will improve.

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, when the opening extension function is activated, the opening time is set to be longer than that at the time of normal operation, that is, non-operation, but the rate of entering the second starting port is By setting the predetermined operation mode related to the opening operation of the opening / closing member of the second start port as a special operation mode, the operation time is lower than the non-operation time of the open extension function. When the open extension function is not activated, it can be more advantageous than when it is activated, so that if the deadline arrives without a big hit during the predetermined period when the open extension function is activated, In other words, when the ceiling is reached, the opening extension function ends and the entrance rate becomes higher than during a predetermined period, and it is possible to shift to an advantageous state for generating a big hit.

  According to the gaming machine of claim 2, the probability changing function is activated in conjunction with the operation of the opening extension function, and further, the opening extension function is also deactivated by the operation of the falling function. Even so, the operation of the opening extension function which is disadvantageous to the player can be terminated. As a result, the so-called ceiling is composed of a deadline due to the end of a predetermined period as a fixed ceiling and a fall function operation as a ceiling where the occurrence time is uncertain and fluctuates, which is advantageous There are multiple types of opportunities for transition to the game, and the fun of the game is improved.

  According to the gaming machine of the third aspect, it is possible to prevent a so-called “morning” that deliberately increases the gaming state at the start of business. In other words, the opening extension function when the gaming state is a low probability and the opening extension function is not activated at the start of business, and the gaming state is a big hit than when the gaming state is high probability and the opening extension function is not operated. The execution rate of the morning can be made impossible by making the rate of granting a high disadvantage.

  According to the gaming machine of claim 4, the sub-control means, in the process in which the opening extension function is provided and the predetermined period elapses, determines whether the current opening extension period is the short opening extension period or the long opening extension period. By performing a special effect related to the certain period at the end of the short opening extension period, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation whether or not it will reach the ceiling to end the opening extension function disadvantageous to the player Can improve the interest.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 performs a lottery determination of the normal symbol by the normal symbol determination lottery means due to the entrance to the normal symbol start gate 21 and starts the symbol variation of the general symbol display device 18. If the lottery result is a win, the winning symbol of the normal figure is confirmed and displayed on the display device 18 and the normal electric accessory is operated and released. As a result, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 22B.
When there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A, the first special figure is determined by lottery, and the first special figure display device 16A and the effect symbol display device 15 start changing the symbols. If the lottery result is a big hit, the big hit symbol (special game) with the opening of the big winning opening 25 is executed by definitely displaying the big hit symbol on each of the display devices 15 and 16A.
Similarly, if there is a ball in the second special figure starting port 22B, the second special figure is determined whether or not to win, and the second special figure display device 16B and the effect symbol display device 15 start symbol variation. If the lottery result is a big hit, the big hit symbol (special game) with the opening of the big winning opening 25 is executed by definitely displaying the big hit symbol on each of the display devices 15 and 16B. The effect symbol display device 15 displays decorative symbols and effects corresponding to the first or second special symbol.
If there is a ball entering the first or second special figure starting port 22A, 22B during the symbol variation, the first or second special figure is stored on hold according to the ball entered. When there is a hold of the second special drawing, the variation of the second special drawing and the lottery determination are executed in preference to the first special drawing.
After the big hit game is over, there is a probability change function that increases the probability of winning and an extension extension function that shortens the change time of the special symbol and extends the opening time of the normal electric accessory (second special figure start port 22B). It becomes a privilege game state to which a short time function is provided. In addition, the bonus game state varies depending on the conditions for winning the big hit, and the period of time reduction varies. Further, after the special game is finished, the variation pattern of the first and second special drawings is changed according to the progress of the game.

  The outline of the “main routine” of the program processing 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 or 4 ms, and first determines whether the interrupt is normal. (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), an initial random number update process (S101), a big hit determination random number update process (S102), a big hit symbol determination random number update process (S103), a normal hit determination random number update process (S104), update processing of random numbers for determination of hitting symbols for ordinary drawings (S105), update processing of random numbers for reach determination regarding reach of special symbols (S106), update processing of random numbers for determination of variation patterns regarding variation patterns of special symbols ( S107), winning confirmation process (S108), winning / failing determination process (S109), each output process (S110), fraud monitoring process (S111), and the initial time within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input The random number update process (S112) is looped. In addition to these, in the main routine, a fall determination random number update process related to the drop lottery of the winning probability of the special figure is also executed.

The success / failure determination process of S109, which is executed by the main controller 80, is a process that also executes a determination of whether or not to win the game due to the passing of the game ball to the universal start gate 21, It is a common-use determination unit of the present invention.
Further, in each output process of S110 executed by the main controller 80, the normal symbol display device 18 as the normal symbol change display means performs the normal symbol change time on the basis of the result of the normal symbol success / failure determination. It is a common figure change display control means of the present invention which carries out a change display over the range.

Next, a part of subroutines of the success / failure determination process (S109), the winning confirmation process (S108), and each output process (S110) will be described.
The “start winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 6 is a subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S108). First, it is confirmed whether or not there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A (S200), there is a ball (S200: yes), and the reserved memory of the first special figure is not full (S201: no), In the process of S202, a plurality of types of random numbers (such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a small hit symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a fall determination random number, etc.) relating to the first special figure are generated. It is extracted and stored in the memory of the main controller 80 as the reserved storage of the first special figure (maximum 4). Then, a command for the number of first special figure hold is transmitted to the display control of the first special figure hold display device 17 </ b> A and the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83.

  Subsequently, it is confirmed in the process of S203 whether there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 22B. If there is a ball (S203: yes), and the reserved memory of the second special figure is not full (S204: no). ), A plurality of types of random numbers related to the second special figure in the process of S205 (big hit determination random number, big hit symbol determination random number, small hit symbol determination random number, reach determination random number, fluctuation pattern determination random number, fall determination random number, etc. ) Is extracted and stored in the memory of the main controller 80 as the reserved storage of the second special figure (maximum of four). Then, the display control of the second special figure hold display device 17B and the command of the second special figure hold number are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83.

  FIGS. 7 to 10 show a flowchart of the “special drawing determination processing”. As shown in FIG. 7, in this process, first, it is confirmed whether or not the condition device is in operation, and it is confirmed whether or not a special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 is in operation (S300). If the condition device is not operating (S300: no), it is checked whether the first special chart or the second special chart is in a variable stop (S301). If the variable condition is in a stop (S301: yes), the first Alternatively, it is confirmed whether the confirmed symbol of the second special figure is displayed (S302). If the condition device is in operation in S300 (S300: yes), the process proceeds to “special game process”.

If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), it is confirmed whether there is a reserved memory for the first special symbol or a reserved memory for the second special symbol (S303). In this process, the presence / absence of reserved memory for the second special symbol is checked first. If there is no reserved memory for the second special symbol, the presence / absence of the reserved memory for the first special symbol is confirmed. This is because the success / failure determination of the second special figure is executed with priority over the determination of the success / failure of the first special figure.
If there is a hold memory of the first or second special figure (S303: yes), the process proceeds to a hold memory shift process (S304), and if there is no hold memory (S303: no), the process proceeds to a "special game process".

In the hold memory shift process of S304, if there is a hold memory of the second special figure, the hold memory number of the second special figure is subtracted and the hold process shift process of the second special figure is performed. By the shift process, the oldest stored memory among the stored memories in the second special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.
On the other hand, if there is no reserved memory of the second special figure and there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the number of reserved memories of the first special figure is subtracted, and the shift process of the reserved memory of the first special figure is performed. As a result, the oldest reserved memory among the reserved memories of the first special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.

  In the process of S305, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether or not the winning probability of the first or second special figure is in the probability variation (high probability) in the current gaming state (if the probability variation flag is 1, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S305: yes), the winning lottery of the winning probability of the first or second special drawing is executed (S306). In this process, it is checked whether or not the value of the falling determination random number stored in the hold storage that is the object of the determination is matched with the falling lottery determination table.

In the subsequent process of S307, it is confirmed whether or not the result of the falling lottery determination is a win (S307).
If the result is not a win (S307: no), the winning probability of the first or second special figure does not fall, and the success / failure determination of the first or second special figure is determined based on the success / failure determination table at the time of probability change. The determination is made by comparing with the big hit determination random number of the hold storage to be determined (S308).

  If the result of the falling lottery determination is a win (S307: yes), the probability variation flag is set to “0” (S309). As a result, the winning probability of the first or second special figure falls, and the success / failure determination of the first or second special figure is compared with the normal probability (low probability) success / failure determination table and the jackpot determination random number. A hit / no-go determination is made (S310).

That is, whether or not S308 and S310 of the special figure success / failure determination process is a big hit based on the random number value acquired due to the game ball entering the first special figure start port 22A or the second special figure start port 22B? It is the special figure success / failure determination means of the present invention that executes the determination of whether or not the special figure is appropriate with a predetermined determination probability (for example, a low probability of 1 / 49.6 or a high probability of 1 / 39.5).
In the present embodiment, the above-described random number value of the present invention is a count value of a predetermined counter, and is numerical data in which regularity is not recognized in the extracted numerical value.

After the process of S308 or S310, as shown in FIG. 8, it is confirmed whether or not the determination is a big hit (S311).
If it is a big hit (S311: yes), in the process of S312, the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved storage that is the object of the determination. The jackpot symbols determined in this process are determined differently for the jackpot based on the winning lottery of the first special figure and the jackpot based on the winning lottery of the second special figure.
In the subsequent variation pattern determination process of S313, the big hit variation pattern is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the pending storage that is the target of the success / failure determination, and then the big hit setting processing of S314 is executed.

In the jackpot setting process, the process proceeds to a subroutine shown in FIG. 11, and first, the determined jackpot symbol is referred to, and the opening effect time of the jackpot game is set based on the jackpot symbol (S400). Next, based on the jackpot symbol, an effect time for ending the jackpot game is set (S401). Next, based on the jackpot symbol, the number of rounds for opening and closing the jackpot 25 of the jackpot game, the opening time of the jackpot 25, etc. are set (S402). Next, based on the jackpot design, setting of the game content of the bonus game given after the end of the jackpot game, for example, the presence or absence of probability change, the setting of the count value of the probability change counter that limits the duration when the probability change, The count value of the hour / hour counter is set to limit the duration of the presence / absence and the shorter time release extension (S403). For example, 50 times, 100 times, etc. are set as the count value.
Then, the setting contents of S400 to S403 are stored in the storage area of the main controller (S404), and the process returns.

Returning to FIG. 8, if it is not a big hit (S311: no), it is confirmed whether or not the winning / no-going determination is a small hit (S315).
If it is a small hit (S315: yes), in the process of S316, the small hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the small hit symbol in the reserved storage that is the object of the determination. The small symbols determined in this process are the same for the first special figure and the second special figure.
In the subsequent variation pattern determination process of S317, a small hit variation pattern is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved storage that is the target of the success / failure determination, and then the small hit setting process of S318 is executed.

  In the small hit setting process, the process proceeds to a subroutine shown in FIG. 12, and first, the determined small hit symbol is referred to, and the opening effect time of the small hit game is set based on the small hit symbol (S410). Next, the effect time of the ending of the small hit game is set based on the small hit symbol (S411). Next, the number of rounds for opening / closing the big winning opening 25 of the small hit game, the opening time of the big winning opening 25, etc. are set based on the small hit design (S412). Then, the setting contents of S410 to S412 are stored in the storage area of the main controller (S413), and the process returns.

Returning to FIG. 8, if it is not a small hit in the process of S315 but a loss (S315: no), in S319, the lost symbol is determined based on the random symbol for determining the lost symbol of the reserved storage that is the object of the determination. decide.
In the subsequent variation pattern determination process in S320, the loss variation pattern is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern in the pending storage that is the object of the determination, and then the loss setting process in S321 is executed.

In the lose setting process, the process proceeds to a subroutine shown in FIG. 13, and first, it is confirmed whether or not the gaming state is in the probability change state by the probability change flag (S420), and if in the probability change state (S420: yes), The count value is subtracted (S421).
Next, it is confirmed whether or not the subtracted count value is “0” (S422), and if it is “0” (S422: yes), the number of changes in the special figure (the special figure winning lottery) The number of times) has reached the predetermined number of times set in the “big hit setting process” (FIG. 11), so the probability variation flag is set to “0” (S423) to return from the probability variation gaming state to the normal probability gaming state.

In the processing of S424, it is confirmed whether or not the gaming state is during the time-shortening release extension by the time-shortening flag.
Next, it is confirmed whether or not the subtracted count value is “0” (S426). If it is “0” (S426: yes), the number of fluctuations of the special figure (the special figure of the special figure is obtained after the short time open extended gaming state). Since the number of times of winning / failing lottery) reaches the predetermined number set in the “hit setting process” (FIG. 11), the time reduction flag is set to “0” (S427) to change from the time reduction open extended game state to the normal game state. return.
In the subsequent setting content storage processing of S428, the setting content such as the setting value of the probability variation flag, the count value of the probability variation counter, the setting value of the time reduction flag and the count value of the time reduction counter is stored in the storage area of the main controller ( S428), return.

  After each setting process of S314, S318, or S321, in the process of S322, the symbol variation start control of the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B is performed, and the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device are performed. A symbol change start command is transmitted to 83 and the process proceeds to “special game processing”. The variation start command includes a lottery result such as a variation pattern of a special figure and a prize winning opening game lottery.

  In the process of S301 shown in FIG. 7, if the fluctuation of the special figure is not stopped (S301: no), the process proceeds to the process of S330 shown in FIG. If it has passed (S330: yes), control which stops the symbol fluctuation of the 1st special symbol display device 16A or the 2nd special symbol display device 16B will be performed, and the symbol will be sent to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83. Send the change stop command.

Next, it is confirmed whether the stop symbol is a big hit symbol (S332). If the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol (S332: yes), the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B performs a setting process for displaying the special symbol jackpot fixed symbol (S333), The operation is started (S334), and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started (S335). The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory. Next, the time reduction flag is confirmed (S336). If the time reduction flag is 1 (S336: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S337).
Further, although not shown in the drawing, processing related to the probability variation flag is executed. Specifically, after the process of S337 or a negative determination in S336 (S336: no), that is, if the hourly flag is not “1”, a process for determining whether or not 1 is set in the probability variation flag is performed. Run. If the determination process is affirmative, a process of setting 0 is executed. After execution of the process of setting the probability change flag to 0 or when it is determined that 1 is not set in the probability change flag, the process proceeds to “special game process”.

If it is not a big hit symbol in the process of S332 (S332: no), it is confirmed whether the stop symbol is a small hit symbol (S338). If it is a small hit symbol (S338: yes), a setting process is performed to display the small hit fixed symbol of the special symbol on the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B (S339). Next, the time reduction flag is confirmed (S341). If the time reduction flag is 1 (S341: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 (S342), and the count value of the time reduction counter is stored (S343).
Further, although not shown in the drawing, processing related to the probability variation flag is executed. Specifically, after the process of S343 or a negative determination in S341 (S341: no), that is, if the hourly flag is not “1”, a process for determining whether or not 1 is set in the probability change flag is performed. Run. If the determination process is affirmative, a process of setting 0 is executed, and then the count value of the probability variation counter is stored. After executing the process of storing the count value of the probability variation counter or when it is determined that the probability variation flag is not set to 1, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

If it is not a small winning symbol in the process of S338 (S338: no), a setting process for displaying the lost symbol of the special figure on the first special figure display device 16A or the second special figure display device 16B is performed (S344). Next, the time reduction flag is checked (S345). If the time reduction flag is "1" (S345: yes), the count value of the time reduction counter is subtracted (S346), and the count value of the time reduction counter after subtraction is "0". (S347: yes), if the count value is “0” (S347: yes), the time reduction flag is set to “0” (S348).
Further, although not shown in the drawing, processing related to the probability variation flag is executed. Specifically, after the processing of S348 or in S345, a negative determination (S345: no), that is, if the time reduction flag is not “1”, or a negative determination in S347 (S347: no), that is, the time reduction counter is “0”. If not, subsequently, a process of determining whether or not 1 is set in the probability variation flag is executed. If the determination process is affirmative, a process of subtracting 1 from the count value of the probability variation counter is executed. After the subtraction process is executed, a process for determining whether or not the count value of the probability variation counter after subtraction is 0 is executed. If the determination processing is affirmative, that is, if the count value of the probability variation counter is zero, processing for setting the probability variation flag to 0 is executed. After execution of the process of setting the probability variation flag to 0, or when a negative determination is made that 1 is not set to the probability variation flag, or when a negative determination is made that the count value of the probability variation counter is not 0, To “special game processing”.

  Note that the processing of S345 to S348 related to the above-described time-shortage flag and time-shortage counter is performed in a predetermined manner at the second starting port (ordinary electric accessory, ie, the second special figure starting port 22B) with the end of the predetermined period after the big hit game as a deadline. In this process, the opening / extending function for extending the opening time is configured, and the count value of the hour / hour counter is the predetermined period. The short-time open extended game of the present embodiment realized by such an open extended function corresponds to the privilege of the present invention that is granted with a big hit. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the count value of the hour / hour counter becomes 0, and all the predetermined number of times / times (which are also individually determined based on the big hit symbol (also called the electric support number)) are exhausted ( When the game ends, the short-time release extended game is completed, and this state is called “to reach the ceiling”.

  In the process of S302 shown in FIG. 7, if the special symbol fixed symbol is being displayed (S302: yes), the process proceeds to S350 shown in FIG. 10 to determine whether or not the special symbol fixed symbol display time has ended. If the display time has been confirmed (S350: yes), the final symbol display control of the first special symbol display device 16A or the second special symbol display device 16B is performed, and the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub A command to end the display of the fixed symbol is transmitted to the integrated control device 83. Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  The variation start command processing (S322), symbol stop command transmission processing (S331), fixed symbol display setting processing (S333, S339, S344), and fixed symbol display end processing (S351) of the special symbol success / failure determination processing are as follows. It is the special figure fluctuation display control means of the present invention that displays the special symbols in a variable manner on the special figure fluctuation display means (first special figure display device 16A, second special figure display device 16B) based on the result of the determination.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the “special game processing”, first, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S500). Check if is open. In S500, if the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S500: no), the process returns.
If the big winning opening is not open in the process of S501 (S501: no), it is confirmed whether it is during the interval (S502). If it is not during the jackpot end effect (S503: no), it is confirmed whether the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S504). Then open the grand prize opening 25 and return.

  If the big winning opening is being opened in the process of S501 (S501: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, whether or not there are ten winnings that are the prescribed number of winnings in the big winning opening 25 (S510), or It is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 25 has ended (S511), and if either can be confirmed, the big prize opening 25 is closed (S512), the big hit interval process is executed (S513), and the process returns. In the big hit interval process, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 so as to start the big hit interval effect.

14 is in the interval (S502: yes), it is confirmed whether the big hit interval time has elapsed in S514 in FIG. 15, and if it has elapsed (S514: yes), whether it is the final round or not. Confirmation (S515), if it is the final round (S515: yes), the big hit end effect processing (S516) is executed, and the big hit end command is transmitted to the production symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 by this processing. Then, the big hit game ends and returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S515: no), the special winning opening 25 is released (S517) and the process returns.

  If the big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S503 in FIG. 14 (S503: yes), as shown in FIG. 16, it is confirmed whether the end time of the big hit end effect time has passed (S520), and if it has passed ( S520: yes), a process (S521) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and a process (S522) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

Subsequently, in the process of S523, the setting contents set in the “big hit setting process” in FIG. 11 are referred to, and in the processes of S524 to S527, when the probability change game is set after the big hit game is completed, (Count value) setting process (S524) and a process of setting “1” to the probability variation flag (S526) are performed. Setting processing (S525) and processing for setting "1" to the time reduction flag (S527).
Thereafter, a jackpot game end command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 and the sub integrated control device 83 (S528), and information on whether or not the high-probability gaming state and whether or not the extension is extended is transmitted as a state designation command. (S529). Then return.

That is, the special game processing of the present embodiment is the big hit game control means of the present invention that executes the big hit game when the result of the special figure success / failure determination is a big hit.
In addition, S523 to S527 of special game processing is a privilege granting unit of the present invention that grants a privilege when a big hit is made.
Further, S523, S524, and S526 of the special game process vary the predetermined determination probability for executing the special figure determination determination from the normal low probability to the high probability higher than the low probability. It is a function.

In the present embodiment, the falling lottery is executed for each special lottery lottery in the probability variation gaming state by the processing of S305 to S310 (the falling lottery means and the falling function of the present invention) of the “special figure winning / failing determination processing”. , Can increase the player's expectation and tension. The falling function is a function that varies from a high probability to a low probability based on winning the falling lottery at a high probability. In other words, when a high probability state (high probability state, probability variation state) is reached, a falling lottery is performed before execution of the special figure success / failure determination. The function that fluctuates from low to low is the fall function of the present invention.
Even in the case where the player does not fall, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure (number of times of success / failure determination) reaches a predetermined number by the process of S420 to S423 (probability fluctuation number limiting means) of the “losing setting process”, the game state returns to the normal probability. Therefore, it is possible for the player to make clear a guideline for stopping the game when the big hit is unlikely to occur or changing the game machine base.
Further, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure (number of times of success / failure determination) reaches a predetermined number by the processing (opening extension number limiting means) of S424 to S427 of the “losing setting process”, the short-time opening extension game Therefore, even if the probability variation gaming state is terminated due to a fall or a limit on the number of times, it is possible to make a game that continues only the short time opening extension.

Next, the configuration and operation of the ordinary electric accessory (second special figure starting port 22B), which is the main part of the present invention, will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.
First, as a general rule, the ordinary electric accessory provided with the second special figure starting port 22B of the present embodiment is symmetrically provided with a pair of opening and closing members 23, as is generally known. , 23. The open / close members 23 and 23 are pivotally provided at a lower portion (not shown), and the upper portions of the open / close members 23 and 23 shown in the drawing are rotatable in the left-right direction around the support shaft. Thus, the opening opened upward can be expanded or reduced. The ordinary electric accessory operates based on the result of the normal / unusual determination, and the opening / closing members 23 and 23 are displaced and closed by the operation.
As described above, the first special figure starting port 22A that can always enter the ball is disposed immediately above the ordinary electric accessory. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), the first special figure starting opening 22A is disposed when the opening / closing members 23, 23 of the ordinary electric accessory are in a closed state in which they are kept in a standing posture. The opening A1, which is a gap between the upper end portions of the members 23 and 23 and the lower portion of the first special figure starting port 22A, is smaller than the diameter B of the game ball 40, so that the game can be played through the opening A1. The arrangement is set so that the ball 40 cannot enter the ball.
Further, the ordinary electric accessory (second special figure start port 22B) is provided with a second start port switch (second start port switch) for detecting the game ball 40 that has entered through the opening when the opening and closing members 23, 23 are open. SW) is built in, and is connected to a universal power solenoid for opening / closing the opening and closing members 23, 23 (opening displacement and closing displacement).

Next, the postures of the opening and closing members 23, 23, and the closed state and various open states that occur due to changes in the posture will be described.
Specifically, the standing posture described above, which is the most extreme posture that the opening and closing members 23 and 23 can take, and the tilting posture described later will be described. When the open / close members 23 and 23 maintain the standing posture, it is impossible to enter the game ball 40, in other words, it is the most difficult state. On the other hand, when the opening / closing members 23 and 23 maintain the tilted posture, the opening A4 (see FIG. 17D) is the largest opening that can generate the ordinary electric accessory of this embodiment. The game ball 40 can be entered, in other words, it is the most easily entered. In the present embodiment, when the result of the normal / unusual determination is successful, the main controller 80 controls the drive of the general utility solenoid. By the drive control, the opening and closing members 23 and 23 are displaced from the standing posture in which the game ball 40 cannot enter (most difficult) to the tilted posture in which the game ball 40 can enter (easiest). Then, a single opening operation is realized by closing and moving from the tilted posture toward the standing posture.
Thus, the standing posture is the starting point and the ending point of the opening operation, and the tilting posture is positioned at the relay point. Further, the standing posture can be said to be a posture in which no ball is generated, and if the opening / closing members 23 and 23 are in a posture other than the standing posture (including a tilted posture) due to an open displacement or a closed displacement. The posture can be said to be a posture that makes it easier to enter the ball than the standing posture. That is, the state in which the opening and closing members 23 and 23 are in a posture other than the standing posture is a state in which a ball can be easily entered as compared to the state in the standing posture. is there. Specifically, if the opening / closing members 23 and 23 are displaced by the opening displacement even a little from the standing posture, the state is already the opening state of the present invention.
Further, the ordinary electric accessory is controlled to be either a closed state in which the open / close members 23, 23 are in a standing posture or an open state in a posture other than the standing posture. Therefore, in this embodiment, in any open state, it is easier to enter the ball than the closed state compared to the closed state. However, as the opening and closing members 23 and 23 gradually open or close, the ease (difficulty) of entering the ball also changes. In this embodiment, the open state includes a plurality of types of open states depending on the difficulty of entering the ball. The plurality of types of open states will be described in detail later.

Next, the predetermined opening time according to the ordinary electric accessory of the present invention will be described.
In this embodiment, when the result of the normal / unusual determination is successful, the ordinary electric accessory operates once. Corresponding to the one operation, the opening operation of the present invention is executed once or a predetermined number of times to shift from the closed state to the open state and return to the closed state again. Incidentally, the predetermined opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is a cumulative time of the time during which the ordinary electric accessory shifts from the closed state to the open state different from the closed state due to the open displacement or the closed displacement. Therefore, when the opening operation is performed a plurality of times by one operation of the ordinary electric accessory, the time that is not the closed state in the one opening operation, that is, the time that is multiple times the time that is controlled to the open state. This is the opening time in the one operation.

As described above, in this embodiment, various states can be generated depending on the postures that the opening and closing members 23 and 23 can take. Subsequently, each of these states will be described.
First, a description will be given with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 (a) shows the closed state of the ordinary electric accessory (second special figure starting port 22B), which is repeated. In the closed state, the game ball 40 cannot enter the ordinary electric accessory (second special figure starting port 22B). In other words, as described above, the game ball is most difficult to enter. In the closed state, the open / close members 23, 23 are maintained in an upright posture standing upward. The gap between the upper end portions of the opening and closing members 23 and 23 maintained in the standing posture and the lower end portion of the first special figure starting port 22A, that is, the size of the opening A1, is smaller than the diameter B of the illustrated game ball 40. As described above, the opening / closing members 23 and 23 and the first special figure starting port 22A are arranged as described above. Thereby, in the closed state in which the opening and closing members 23 and 23 maintain the standing posture, it is impossible for the game ball 40 to enter the ordinary electric accessory (second special figure starting port 22B) through the opening A1, in other words, This is the most difficult state. As long as the ordinary electric utility solenoid does not operate when the result of the normal / unusual determination is successful, the ordinary electric accessory is kept in the closed state so that the game ball 40 cannot enter. It will continue.

  Next, when the normal electric utility is activated by the result of the determination of whether or not the normal figure is successful, the open / close members 23 and 23 that have maintained the standing posture by specifically operating the general electric utility solenoid, As shown in FIG. 17 (b), it is displaced by the open displacement a. Thus, the state of one process displaced by the open displacement a is the open state a. In the open state a, the size of the opening A2 formed by the open displacement a is still smaller than the diameter B of the game ball 40. That is, it is a state before the opening operation, that is, the opening displacement is started from the closed state, and the opening A2 becomes the same size as B. Therefore, even if the illustrated game ball 40 attempts to enter the opening A2, the first special figure starting port 22A or the opening / closing members 23 and 23 are obstructed, and the entry is inhibited. From the viewpoint of the posture of the opening and closing members 23, 23, it is a change process from the standing posture to the tilting posture. In the open state a, since the opening A2 is still smaller than the diameter B of the game ball 40, it is impossible to enter the game ball 40 through the opening A2, but compared to the closed state, It is easy to enter the ball. Furthermore, since the opening and closing members 23 and 23 gradually change from the standing posture toward the tilting posture, the ease of entering the ball is improved as the opening A2 is enlarged. That is, the difficulty of entering the ball gradually decreases. Moreover, although the open state a of a present Example is a state in which a ball cannot enter, the opening time is started from the time of starting transfer from the closed state to the open state a. That is, even during the opening time, it is configured not to be able to enter the ball in all states that shift during the opening time. In the present embodiment, the open state a and the open state e described later are states that constitute an open operation, but are incapable of entering the ball.

FIG. 17C shows the open state b. The open state b is a state in which the open / close members 23, 23 are displaced from the open state a by the open displacement b.
In the open state b, the size of the opening A3 formed by the open displacement b is a state that is larger than the diameter B of the game ball 40. That is, the opening operation, that is, the opening displacement is further continued from the open state a where the ball cannot be entered, and the opening A3 becomes the same size or larger than B. From the viewpoint of the posture of the opening and closing members 23, 23, the open state b is also a change process from the standing posture to the tilting posture. In the open state b, since the opening A3 is already larger than the diameter B of the game ball 40, it is possible to enter the game ball 40 through the opening A3. Therefore, the open state b is a state in which entering is easier than in the closed state. Furthermore, since the opening / closing members 23 and 23 gradually change toward the tilted posture, the ease of entering the ball is improved as the opening A3 is enlarged. That is, the difficulty of entering the ball gradually decreases. Further, the period of staying in the open state b of the present embodiment constitutes a part of a predetermined open time required for the open operation. In other words, during the opening time, the state in which the player can enter the ball is limited to the three states of the opening state b, the opening state c, and the opening state d.

  FIG. 17D shows the open state c. In the open state c, the open / close members 23 and 23 are inclined most easily to enter the ball, and the posture is maintained for a predetermined maintenance time (in this embodiment, 0.01 seconds or 2.46 seconds described later). It is an open state. More specifically, the opening / closing members 23 and 23 that are pivotally provided and gradually increase the opening angle from the standing state also maintain the largest opening angle during one opening operation. The size of the opening A4 is set to be larger than the diameter B of the game ball 40. That is, how long the opening state c is maintained is a condition that greatly affects the entrance rate in one opening operation.

FIG. 18A shows the open state d. The open state d is a state in which the open / close members 23 and 23 are displaced from the open state c by the close displacement a.
In the open state d, the size of the opening A3 formed by the closing displacement a is a state equal to or larger than the diameter B of the game ball 40 as in the above-described open state b. That is, the opening A3 becomes the same size as or larger than B by performing a closing operation, that is, a closing displacement, from the open state c where the ball entry was the easiest. From the viewpoint of the posture of the opening and closing members 23, 23, the open state d is a changing process from the tilted posture to the standing posture. Even in the open state d, since the opening A3 is still larger than the diameter B of the game ball 40, the game ball 40 can enter through the opening A3. Therefore, the open state d is a state in which entering is easier than in the closed state. Furthermore, since the opening and closing members 23 and 23 gradually change toward the standing posture, the ease of entering the ball also decreases as the opening A3 is reduced. That is, the difficulty of entering the ball gradually increases.

FIG. 18B shows an open state e. A state of one process in which the opening and closing members 23 and 23 are displaced by the closing displacement b toward the standing posture is an open state e. In the open state e, the size of the opening A2 formed by the closing displacement b is already smaller than the diameter B of the game ball 40. That is, it is a state after the opening A2 becomes smaller than B by continuing the closing operation, that is, the closing displacement, from the open state d. Therefore, even if the illustrated game ball 40 attempts to enter the opening A2, the first special figure starting port 22A or the opening / closing members 23 and 23 are obstructed, and the entry is inhibited. From the viewpoint of the posture of the opening and closing members 23, 23, this is a change process from the tilted posture to the return to the standing posture. In the open state e, since the opening A2 is already smaller than the diameter B of the game ball 40, it is impossible to enter the game ball 40 through the opening A2, but when compared with the closed state that finally moves In this state, it is easier to enter than the closed state. Furthermore, since the opening and closing members 23 and 23 gradually change from the tilted posture toward the standing posture, the ease of entering the ball also decreases as the opening A2 is reduced. That is, the difficulty of entering the ball is gradually improved. Moreover, it is during the open | release time of a present Example until the open state e of a present Example is complete | finished and it will be in a closed state. In such an open state e, the opening / closing members 23 and 23 gradually change their postures toward the standing posture by the closing displacement b, and finally return to the closed state.
The above is the various states in which the ordinary electric accessory sequentially shifts when the opening operation is performed once.

The various states can be classified according to the possibility of entering the ball. In other words, in a single opening operation, the state where the ball can be entered is the open state b, the open state c, and the open state d, and the state where the ball cannot be entered is the closed state, the open state a, and the open state e. is there.
The ordinary electric accessory of this embodiment performing such an opening operation has a different opening time set depending on whether the short-time opening extension function of this embodiment is activated or not activated, and different operation modes. Is set. Such a short time opening extension function of this embodiment will be described below.
The short time opening extension function of the present embodiment is a privilege of the present invention set in advance for each special symbol that is an opportunity to become a big hit when the big hit.
When the short time release extension function is not activated (during non-electric support), the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 3 seconds. Further, the predetermined opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is set to 2.5 seconds × 1 time = 2.5 seconds. This is set so that one opening operation is executed corresponding to one operation of the ordinary electric accessory, and the opening time required for the opening operation is 2.5 seconds.
On the other hand, when the time-shortening extension function is activated (during electric support), the so-called time-shortening function in which the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened to 2 seconds is also activated. Further, the opening time is set to a slightly extended time of 2.55 seconds.
In this way, the total opening time of the ordinary electric power tool by one operation of the ordinary electric power object is 2.55 seconds when the short time opening / extending function is activated, whereas Non-operating time is 2.5 seconds. In other words, the main control device 80 of the pachinko machine 50 drives and controls the universal utility solenoid when the short-time release extension function is activated, and performs a plurality of release operations set to a total of 2.55 seconds as a predetermined release time. When the short-time opening / extending function is not activated, the universal utility solenoid is driven and controlled, and one opening operation set at a predetermined opening time of 2.5 seconds is executed.

That is, the main control device 80 of the pachinko machine 50 has a longer predetermined opening time by one operation of the ordinary electric accessory when the short-time opening / extending function is operated than when the short-time opening / extending function is not operated. The electric utility solenoid is controlled so as to be. In addition, the main controller 80 of the pachinko machine 50 has a predetermined normal figure change time (2 seconds) when the short extension extension function is activated, and a predetermined normal figure change time (3 seconds) when the release extension function is not activated. It is controlled to be shorter.
Further, the ordinary electric accessory of the present embodiment includes opening / closing members 23 and 23 that can be displaced by one operation of the ordinary electric accessory. Further, when the opening and closing members 23 and 23 are maintained in the standing posture, the ball enters the second special figure starting port 22B and becomes a closed state. Further, the opening and closing members 23 and 23 gradually open and change, so that the ball enters the second special figure starting port 22B more easily than the closed state. Further, the opening / closing members 23 and 23 gradually close and displace from the open state, thereby returning to the closed state. The ordinary electric accessory of the present embodiment can perform this series of opening operations over a predetermined opening time and in a predetermined operation mode.

Here, a description will be given of a predetermined operation mode of the ordinary electric accessory, that is, a special operation mode when the short time opening extension function of the present embodiment is activated. As described above, it has been explained that the opening time when the short opening extension function is activated (during electric support) is 2.55 seconds. Specifically, a predetermined opening time required for one opening operation is described. Is set to 0.05 seconds, and the opening operation is executed 51 times to set 0.05 seconds × 51 times = 2.55 seconds. Accordingly, the cumulative opening time is set to be longer through the opening operation of 51 times when the short opening extension function is activated than when the short opening extension function is not operated.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the cumulative release time when the short-time release extension function is activated is set to be longer than the open time when the short-time release extension function is not activated. However, the entrance rate to the ordinary electric accessory is conversely configured to be higher when the short time opening extension function is inactive. Hereinafter, a configuration in which the entrance rate is lowered in spite of a longer cumulative opening time when the short opening extension function of the present embodiment is operated, that is, a special operation mode that is a main part of the present invention will be described in detail. .

First, in this embodiment, the open state a to the open state e are sequentially shifted from the closed state shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 regardless of whether the short-time open / extend function is activated or not. By returning to the closed state later, one opening operation is configured, and the various states that are configured are almost the same except for the length of time (required time) of the above-described opened state (c). .
Each will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. First, the time required for one opening operation at the time of operating the short opening extension function (during electric support) is 0.05 seconds. When the opening operation is started once during the operation of the short-time opening extension function (during electric support), first the transition from the closed state to the opened state a is performed, and then the opened state b, the opened state c, the opened state d, After shifting to the open state e, the state returns to the closed state, and the time required for various open states is all 0.01 seconds. Therefore, during one opening operation (0.05 seconds), the time during which a ball can be entered corresponds to the accumulation of the required time relating to three types of opening states of the opening state b, the opening state c, and the opening state d. Therefore, 0.01 seconds × 3 = 0.03 seconds. When the short-time release extension function is activated (during electric support), the opening operation is executed 51 times, so that the normal electric combination can be entered by one operation of the normal electric combination. The total is 0.03 seconds × 51 times = 1.53 seconds.
The open displacement a in the open state a and the open displacement b in the open state b are generated when a predetermined voltage is applied to the universal utility solenoid, while the closed displacement a and open in the open state d. The closing displacement b in the state e is generated when the urging force of the elastic member provided in the general-purpose utility solenoid exceeds the stress generated by the application after the application is stopped. Therefore, the time required for the open state a, the open state b, the open state d, and the open state e is the same constant time, that is, 0.01 seconds each, regardless of whether the short-time open extension function is activated or deactivated. Yes.
Next, the time required for one opening operation when the short-time opening extension function is not operated (during non-electric support) is 2.5 seconds. As described above, there are four types of opening state a, opening state b, opening state d, and opening state e even in one opening operation when the short-time opening extension function is not in operation (during non-electric support). The required time for the open state is 0.01 seconds each. Therefore, the stay time (required time) in the open state c when the short-time open extension function is not in operation (during non-electric support) is 2.5 seconds− (0.01 seconds × 4) = 2.46 seconds. Become. When the short-time release extension function is not in operation (during non-electric support), the total number of times that the normal electric accessory can enter the ball by one operation of the normal electric accessory is the open state b, open Since this corresponds to the accumulation of the required time for the three open states, state c and open state d, 0.01 seconds + 2.46 seconds + 0.01 seconds = 2.48 seconds.

  In this way, the gaming machine of the present invention can be switched from the closed state to the open state b where the ball can be entered, and from the open state d where the ball can be entered to the closed state, regardless of whether the short-time open extension function is activated or not. The transition speed to shift to is the same. More specifically, the stay time (required time) in the open state a and the open state e in which the ball cannot be entered in the single open operation is the same regardless of whether the short-time open extension function is in operation or not. . Also, the stay time (required time) in the open state b and the open state d where the ball can be entered is the same. For this reason, the total number of times that a normal electric accessory can enter a normal electric accessory by one operation is 1.53 seconds when the short time release extension function is activated. The time when the short time opening extension function is not activated is 2.48 seconds. That is, the main control device 80 of the pachinko machine 50 controls the drive of the universal utility solenoid when the short-time release extension function is activated, and performs a single release operation in which a predetermined release time is set to be as short as 0.05 seconds. Is executed by the special operation mode of the present invention which is continuously repeated over a remarkably large number of times (51 times), and in addition to this, the cumulative release time when the short-time release extension function is activated is not activated. By setting it to be extended slightly longer than the opening time of the hour, the time available for entering the second special figure starting port 22B (ordinary electric accessory) will be longer than when the short-time opening extension function is not activated. In other words, the entrance rate is reduced so that the operation time is shorter.

In this embodiment, the number of times of opening is exemplified as a remarkably large number of times, but the number of times is not limited to this. In other words, “remarkably many” of the number of opening operations means that the cumulative time in the open state when the short-time open extension function is activated is the cumulative number of open states that can be entered when the short-open extension function is not activated. This means that a larger number is set to be shorter than the time. Incidentally, if the number of times of opening is such that both are the same cumulative opening time, of course, the ball entry rate is lower during the operation.
As described above, when the opening / closing members 23 and 23 are gradually opened or closed and the opening operation is performed, the same cumulative opening is performed when the number of opening times calculated based on a predetermined condition is exceeded. Even if it is time, it is possible to configure the entrance rate to be lower than when the number of times of opening is small. Despite maintaining the open state for the same open time, the entrance rate can be varied. In addition, since it is not clear to the player how many times the number of times of opening is set as a threshold value, and the entrance rate is reversed, a plurality of types with a large number of times and a small number of times are set in advance based on the threshold value. May be. Thereby, it is possible to give the player the fun of playing while predicting whether the current rate is high or low.

That is, when the short-time opening / extending function of the present embodiment is activated, the game ball is difficult to enter the ordinary electric accessory, and when not activated, the game ball is easily reversible.
Therefore, when the so-called short-time number of times that the short-time release extension function is activated expires, the short-time release extension function is terminated disadvantageously to the player and the player enters a state advantageous to the player. Is "reaching the ceiling". By such special action of the present invention, after reaching the so-called ceiling, the state shifts to an advantageous state for generating a big hit, that is, a state in which the entrance rate to the second special figure starting port 22B is improved. Is possible.
The number of time reductions for “arrival at the ceiling” is determined in advance for each special symbol that is a trigger for the jackpot. The bonus content including the number of time reductions will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 19A is a table for explaining the first special figure, and FIG. 19B is a table for explaining the second special figure. The first special figure is a special symbol displayed due to the ball entering the first special figure starting port 22A, and the second special figure is the second special figure starting port 22B (ordinary electric accessory). It is a special symbol displayed due to the entry.
In this embodiment, both the first special figure and the second special figure have four types of big hit symbols.
As shown in FIG. 19 (a), the specific symbol type (the distribution rate of the symbol type) is the special symbol 1_symbol 1 (allocation rate 2%), the special symbol 1_symbol 2 (assignment ratio 9%), special figure 1_symbol 3 (allocation ratio 86%), and special figure 1_symbol 4 (allocation ratio 3%). Similarly, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), the jackpot symbol of the second special figure is special figure 2_symbol 1 (allocation rate 2%), special figure 2_symbol 2 (allocation ratio 9%), special figure 2_ Design 3 (distribution rate 86%) and special figure 2_design 4 (distribution rate 3%) are provided. Both the first special figure and the second special figure are set so that the symbol 3 is selected with an overwhelmingly high probability at an allocation rate of 86%.
The privilege contents set in accordance with the respective jackpot symbols and the gaming state when the jackpot symbol is a big hit will be individually and specifically described sequentially in the first special diagram and the second special diagram.
Note that the “normal probability” described in FIG. 19 indicates a case where the current state where the big hit has occurred is the normal probability (low probability) (low probability state) as the lottery probability of the special figure win / fail lottery. “High probability” indicates a case of high probability (high probability state) that is similarly increased by the probability variation function. “Electric support” means that the short opening / extension function of the normal electric accessory is activated, and “No electric support” means that the short opening / extension function of the ordinary electric accessory is not activated. Yes. In addition, in this embodiment, there are two types, 50 times and 100 times, as the number of time savings of the time saving opening extension function. In addition, the probability variation number is set to an upper limit of 100 by so-called frequency cut. Further, “probability change” indicates that the game shifts to a high probability state after the big hit game, and “normal” indicates that the game shifts to a low probability state after the big hit game. In addition, “with ball” suggests that the big winning opening at the time of a big hit is a big hit that a certain prize ball can be expected by opening a relatively long opening time per round, “No ball” means that the opening time per round of the big prize opening at the time of the big hit is relatively short and the open state is very short, which means that it is a big hit that almost no prize ball can be expected. Further, with regard to the first special figure, the contents of the big hit and the benefit contents at the normal probability are set in the same manner regardless of the presence or absence of the electric support.

With reference to FIG. 19A, a case where a big hit is made with any one of the big special symbols of the first special figure will be described.
Special Figure 1_The jackpot content in Symbol 1 is normal probability, high probability and no electric support, high probability and electric support, and the big hit content is 15R probable There is a big hit with the benefits, and there is no power support.
Regardless of whether the big hit on Special Figure 1_symbol 2 occurs at normal probability, high probability and no electric support, or high probability and electric support, the content of the big hit is 4R probability change The bonus is a big hit with 100 bonuses.
Special figure 1_When the big hit in symbol 3 occurs in the state of normal probability, the big hit content is a big hit with 4R probability change and no departure, the privilege content is 100 electric support, high probability and no electric support If it occurs in the state of, the content of the big hit is a 4R probability change and a big hit without a ball, the privilege content is no electric support, and if it occurs with a high probability and with electric support, the big hit content is 4R probability change and The bonus content is a big hit with a ball and the power is 100 times.
Special figure 1_If the big hit in symbol 4 occurs at the normal probability or high probability and with electric support, the big hit content is 4R normal and no big hit, and the bonus content is no electric support, When it occurs in a state with a high probability and no electric support, the big hit content is a big hit with 4R normal and no ball, and the privilege content is 100 electric support.

With reference to FIG. 19 (b), the case where a big hit with any of the big special symbols of the second special figure will be described.
Regardless of whether the big hit in Special Figure 2_Symbol 1 occurs at the normal probability or the high probability, the big hit content is a big hit with 15R probability change and with a ball, and the privilege content is no electric support.
Regardless of whether the big hit in Special Figure 2_symbol 2 occurs at the normal probability or the high probability, the big hit content is a big hit with 4R probability change and with a ball, and the privilege content is 100 times of electric support.
Special figure 2_If a big hit in symbol 3 occurs with a normal probability and no electric support, the big hit content is a big hit with 4R probability change and no departure, and the bonus content is 50 electric support cases, with a normal probability And if it occurs in the state with electric support, the big hit content is a big hit with 4R probability change and with a ball, and the privilege content is 50 electric support, when it occurs with a high probability and no electric support, The big hit content is a big hit with 4R probability change and no ball, the privilege content is without electric support, and if it occurs with high probability and with electric support, the big hit content is a big hit with 4R probability change and with a ball, The privilege content is 50 times of electric support.
Special figure 2_If the big hit in symbol 4 occurs at the normal probability or high probability and with electric support, the big hit content is 4R normal and no big hit, and the bonus content is no electric support, When it occurs in a state with a high probability and no electric support, the big hit content is a big hit with 4R normal and no ball, and the privilege content is 100 electric support.

As described above, in this embodiment, the bonus content and the jackpot content are set differently depending on the jackpot symbol and the game state at the time of winning. Furthermore, characteristic setting contents will be described in detail.
First, in the present embodiment, the case where a big hit occurs at a high probability and when the open extension function is inactive (without electric support), the low (normal) probability and when the open extension function is inactive (electrical). It is set so that the application rate of the open extension function (electric support) is lower than the case where a big hit occurs when there is no support. Specifically, first, referring to the special figure 1_symbol 3 having the highest allocation rate in the contents shown in FIG. 19A, the grant rate of the open extension function (electric support) is a normal probability. When it occurs in the state of the hour, the electric support is 100 times, whereas when it occurs in the state of high probability and no electric support, there is no electric support. That is, in the first special figure, the number of times of electric support is set lower in the case of occurrence in the state of high probability and no electric support than in the case of normal probability and no electric support. That is, the grant rate is low.
In addition, referring to the special figure 2_symbol 3 having the highest allocation rate among the contents shown in FIG. 19B, the grant rate of the open extension function (electric support) is also the same at the normal probability and without the electric support. When it occurs in the state of the hour, the electric support is 50 times, whereas when it occurs in the state of high probability and without the electric support, there is no electric support. In other words, even in the second special figure, the number of times of electric support is set lower in the case of occurrence with high probability and no electric support than in the case of occurrence with normal probability and no electric support. That is, the grant rate is low.
According to such characteristic setting contents, the following effects can be obtained. That is, in this embodiment, as described above, when the electric support (short time opening extension) is activated, the game in which the rate of entering the normal electric accessory (second special figure starting port 22B) is lower than when the electric support is not activated. It is in a disadvantageous state for the person, and conversely, it is in an advantageous state when not in operation. When the power is turned on, the pachinko machine 50 is always in a state of normal probability and no power support. In this state, as described above, the number of times of power support given when a big hit is higher than the state when there is a high probability and no power support is set higher, and this is a disadvantageous state. In other words, the so-called morning setting that makes the state when the power is turned on advantageous to the player is disabled.

Another characteristic setting is that the second special figure is more advantageous for the player than the first special figure. For convenience of description, reference is made to the symbol with the highest distribution rate. The first special figure refers to the special figure 1_symbol 3 and the second special figure refers to the special figure 2_symbol 3.
First, if the big hit by special figure 1_symbol 3 and special figure 2_symbol 3 occurs in the state of normal probability, the big hit content by special figure 1_symbol 3 is no ball regardless of the presence or absence of electric support. On the other hand, in the special figure 2_symbol 3, the content of the big hit when the electric support is present is set to the presence of the outgoing ball, and the second special figure is advantageously set for the outgoing ball. In addition, when comparing the privilege contents, the privilege content according to the special figure 1_symbol 3 is 100 times regardless of the presence / absence of the electric support, whereas the privilege content according to the special figure 2_symbol 3 is related to the presence / absence of the electric support. The electric support is set at 50 times, and the second special figure has a smaller electric support number than the first special figure and is advantageously set. In addition, the second special figure is advantageously set for the ball at the normal probability.
In addition, when the big hits by special figure 1_symbol 3 and special figure 2_symbol 3 occur in the state of high probability, the privilege content by special figure 1_symbol 3 is 100 times of power support with power support. On the other hand, the privilege content by special figure 2_symbol 3 is set at 50 electric support with electric support, and in this case as well, the second special figure has fewer electric support times than the first special figure. , Is advantageously set.

Next, with reference to FIG. 20 thru | or FIG. 22, the flow of the game of the pachinko machine 50 of a present Example and the effect display aspect which concerns on mode display are demonstrated. FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram relating to the game flow of the pachinko machine 50 as a gaming machine of the present embodiment, and FIGS. 21 and 22 are schematic descriptions showing examples of effect display modes relating to mode display of the gaming machine of the present invention. FIG.
First, although it overlaps, the specification of the pachinko machine 50 of a present Example is demonstrated. With regard to the lottery probability related to the special design winning / failing lottery, the low probability is 1 / 49.6 and the high probability is 1 / 39.5. In the case of a big hit, the probability variation rate is 97%, and the probability variation is a so-called number cut probability variation, and the ST count is set to 100. In addition, a falling function is provided to reduce the probability of falling lottery to 1/50. In addition, for example, the predetermined time period of the present invention is configured such that the number of time reductions that are the open extension period is set to 50 times or 100 times. In this embodiment, when the electric support (short-time opening extension function) is activated, it is disadvantageous to the player, and when the electric support (short-time opening extension function) is not operated, it is advantageous to the player.
Next, a game configuration relating to the three modes of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The “normal mode (in terms of production)” is a game mode having the largest proportion of the game. The “normal mode” is a mode in a gaming state (indicated as “internal high probability or low probability / with electric support” in the figure) that is in a high probability state or a low probability state and is provided with a short-time release extension function. In the “normal mode”, the short-time opening extension function is added, so that the entrance rate to the ordinary electric accessory (second special figure starting port 22B) is lower than that in the non-operating state. Most of the balls are balls entering the first special figure starting port 22A. In other words, the special lottery lottery is almost the same as the first special figure winner lottery.
Note that, when controlled in the “normal mode (on production)”, the sub-integrated control device 83 indicates to the production symbol display device 15 on the “normal mode (on the production)” based on the production control command transmitted from the main control device 80. As a display that suggests that the control is being performed on the production)), for example, display in a display mode example as shown in FIG. As shown in the display example of “normal mode (on production)” in FIG. 22A, the production symbol display device 15 includes a character, Keikichi 158, a three-digit decoration symbol 151 corresponding to the special figure, The character display of “normal mode” for informing the mode in which the user is currently staying is displayed.

In “normal mode (in production)”, when 100 times of working hours are completed, 50 times of working hours are finished, and 100 times ST falls, or when 4R regular jackpot is won , Transition to “ceiling mode”. In this embodiment, since the probability variation function and the short-time release extension function are individually activated / deactivated, even if the probability variation function is deactivated due to falling, the operation state of the short-time release extension function is affected. It is configured to maintain the operating state without being affected. The probability change function is activated when the open extension function is activated, and the open extension function is not deactivated even if the fall function is activated, and ends as a predetermined period, for example, the expiration of the open extension period. It is configured to be.
The “ceiling mode” is a mode in a gaming state that is in a low-probability state and is not provided with the short-time release extension function (in the drawing, it is represented as internal low probability / no electric support). In the “ceiling mode”, since the short-time opening extension function is not given, the entrance rate to the ordinary electric accessory (second special figure start opening 22B) is higher than that at the time of operation, and the entrance to the start opening of the special figure is made. Is a state in which, in addition to entering the first special figure starting port 22A, entering the second special figure starting port 22B (ordinary electric accessory) can also be expected. When the power is turned on, the game is started from the “ceiling mode”.
In the initial state when the power is turned on, when the game is suddenly started from the “ceiling mode”, the morning function is activated for the sake of expression (or the game store prepares the state where the morning function is activated). If this is the case, a player who lacks knowledge of the gaming machine is confused with a general ceiling function), which may cause misunderstanding. Therefore, in the first low probability / no power support state when the power is turned on, the effect may be produced in a dedicated mode such as the “first start mode”. This makes it possible for the player to reliably recognize that the internal state is the same as the “ceiling mode” even if the internal state is the same, thereby preventing unnecessary snooping or misunderstanding. Can do.
When controlled to the “ceiling mode” as described above, the sub-integrated control device 83 is controlling the effect symbol display device 15 to the “ceiling mode” based on the effect control command transmitted from the main control device 80. As a display that suggests that there is a display, for example, display in a display mode example as shown in FIG. As shown in the display example of “ceiling mode” in FIG. 21A, the effect symbol display device 15 includes a character, Yoshikichi 158, a three-digit decoration symbol 151 corresponding to the special symbol, and a currently staying character. The character display of “ceiling mode” for informing the mode is displayed.

In the “normal mode (in terms of production)”, if 50 wins have been completed and no fall is won during the ST period of 100 times, or if “15 C probability wins” is won in the “ceiling mode”, “ “Pole / ceiling mode”.
The “pole / ceiling mode” is a mode of a gaming state that is in a high-probability state and is not provided with a time-shortening extension function (in the figure, represented as internal high probability / no electric support). In the “Pole / Ceiling Mode”, as with the “Ceiling Mode”, since the short-time opening extension function is not provided, the entrance rate to the ordinary electric accessory (the second special figure starting port 22B) is higher than when operating. In addition to entering the first special figure starting port 22A, entering the special figure starting port can be expected to enter the second special figure starting port 22B (ordinary electric accessory). . Note that the “pole / ceiling mode” is advantageous to the player because the provision rate of the short time opening extension function given in the case of a big hit is lower than the “ceiling mode”. As a result, the “ceiling mode” that always shifts when the power is turned on does not have an advantage over the “pole / ceiling mode”, thereby making the morning setting impossible.
When the control is in the “pole / ceiling mode”, the sub integrated control device 83 is controlling the effect symbol display device 15 to “pole / ceiling mode” based on the effect control command transmitted from the main control device 80. For example, a display in a display mode example as shown in FIG. As shown in the display example of “pole / ceiling mode” in FIG. 21 (c), the effect symbol display device 15 includes the character's bear Keikichi 158, the three-digit decorative symbol 151 corresponding to the special symbol, and the current stay. The character display of “Pole / Ceiling Mode” for informing the inside mode is displayed.

In addition, both the case where it wins by 15R probability variation big hit, and the case where a time-short open extension function is complete | finished illustrated the structure produced in "pole / ceiling mode". However, as another configuration, when the short-time opening / extending function is terminated, when the state shifts to a state with a high probability state and the short-time opening / extending function is not provided, the “pole / ceiling mode” is produced. When the state shifts to a state with a high probability state with 15R probability variation big hit and a state where the short-time opening extension function is not given, a configuration in which another effect mode such as a “high accuracy mode” is produced can be considered.
By configuring in this way, it is possible to vary the effect of the effect according to two cases in which the transition to the gaming state, that is, the high probability state and the state in which the time-shortening extension function is not provided is greatly different. it can.
That is, it is possible to give meaning to the “pole / ceiling mode” as a mode for relieving a player who has not been able to obtain a big hit before the time-shortening extension function ends.
In addition, when transitioning with a 15R probability variation big hit, it is possible to arouse a sense of achievement and joy to the player by expressing the most advantageous gaming state as “high probability mode” in the sense of winning by himself. .
This also applies to the “ceiling mode” to be described later. If the winning lottery is won with the 4R normal hit and the short-time opening extension function completed, an effect such as “chance mode” is performed, and 100 STs It is conceivable that the “ceiling mode” is set when the shift continuously occurs during the period. In the normal mode (in production), it is conceivable that the production varies depending on the transition process.

In the “pole / ceiling mode”, if the player continuously loses during the ST period of 100 times or if the winning lottery is won, the process shifts to the “ceiling mode”. Similarly, in the “pole / ceiling mode”, when a bonus is won for a big hit with electric support, the mode shifts to the “normal mode (production)”.
Furthermore, in the “ceiling mode”, when the bonus is won for the big hit with the electric support, the process shifts to “normal mode (on production)”.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the number of time reductions, that is, the predetermined period (open extension period) of the present invention is set to 50 times or 100 times. That is, in this embodiment, as the opening extension period of the opening extension function, the short opening extension period is, for example, 50 times according to the type of the special symbol (refer to the special figure 2_symbol 2 and the special figure 2_symbol 3 in FIG. 19). For example, a short time of 100 times is set as the long open extension period. The sub integrated control device 83 as the sub control means is configured to execute a special effect that tells the player whether or not the open extension function will be ended or not when the 50 time reductions are completed. Has been. In the case of such a configuration, it is of course preferable that a configuration not informing the predetermined number of time reductions is used. Further, during execution of the special effect, the player may operate the operation means that can be operated by the player, such as the effect button 67, and the content of the effect may be changed according to the operation result. As a result, the player changes the direction of whether or not the time reduction continues based on his / her operation, and if the time reduction can be continued, the player determines whether the game flow is determined by himself / herself. Because it falls into such an illusion, it contributes to the improvement of interest.
[Example 2]

Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG.
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the short-time release extension function is deactivated and deactivated at the same time when the probability variation function is deactivated by the fall winning, that is, when the fall function is activated. In this embodiment, both the probability variation function and the short time opening extension function are activated / inactivated together. That is, if the probability variation function is activated, the short-time opening extension function is also activated, and conversely, if the short-time opening extension function is activated, the probability variation function is also activated. In addition, when the probability variation function is deactivated due to falling, the operation state of the short-time release extension function is affected and the operation is shifted to the non-operation state.
That is, the probability variation function of this embodiment is configured to be activated when the opening extension function is activated, and the opening extension function is deactivated when the fall function is activated, that is, when the probability variation function is deactivated. Yes.
Therefore, in the “normal mode (in production)” when the internal state is in a high probability state and when there is electric support, when the internal state shifts to a low probability state during the ST period of 100 times, In addition, since the short time opening and extending function during operation is also deactivated, it is configured to shift to the “ceiling mode”.
With this configuration, the falling lottery that ends the high probability state in the past, that is, disadvantageously changes the game, conversely causes the game state to change to an advantageous game state. For this reason, players can be welcomed to fall. In addition, an advantageous gaming state is generated without going through a big hit, and a new gaming sensation can be provided to the player.
[Example 3]

Next, a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG.
The third embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the falling lottery function is not provided.
In the case of being controlled in the “true / ceiling mode”, the sub-integrated control device 83 sets the effect symbol display device 15 to the “true / ceiling mode” based on the effect control command transmitted from the main control device 80. As a display suggesting that control is being performed, for example, a display in a display mode example as shown in FIG. 21B is performed. As shown in the display example of “true / ceiling mode” in FIG. 21 (b), the effect symbol display device 15 includes the character's bear Keikichi 158, the three-digit decorative symbol 151 corresponding to the special symbol, and the current stay. The character display of “true / ceiling mode” for informing the middle mode is displayed.
With this configuration, since it is determined in advance how many times the remaining change will occur, the high probability state and the short-time open extension function will be terminated, so before the game state changes, `` true / ceiling mode '', An effect of displaying the number of remaining fluctuations in the “ceiling mode” or the like becomes possible. By doing so, the player gradually increases the degree of expectation of the transition of the game state that will come every time the change ends, enabling the improvement of interest and at the same time expecting the player to transition the game state Will go up by continuing the game.
[Example 4]

Next, Embodiment 4 to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG.
The fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that the “true / ceiling mode” is not provided. Specifically, the mode is not divided depending on whether the internal state is a low probability state or a high probability state. Furthermore, the mode is changed only as a condition regarding the operation or non-operation of the electric support which is disadvantageous to the player.
As a result, the mode is clearly different for the difference of the gaming state that can be easily judged visually, that is, the release mode of the ordinary electric accessory, but the player cannot recognize the internal probability state. The player can play a game while expecting to be controlled to a high probability state.
[Example 5]

Next, Embodiment 5 to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG.
The fifth embodiment is different from the first to fourth embodiments in the configuration and operation of the ordinary electric accessory. As shown in FIG. 26, the opening / closing members 23, 23 of the present embodiment are provided with a protruding portion at the upper end thereof and at a position near the center in the left-right direction of the ordinary electric accessory unlike the other embodiments described above. Fig.26 (a) has shown the closed state of the normal electric accessory of a present Example. This state is substantially the same as that shown in FIG. 17A, and is different in whether or not the protrusion is provided. In the closed state, the opening A1 formed by the gap between the opening and closing members 23 and 23 and the first special figure starting port 22A is smaller than the diameter B of the game ball 40 and cannot enter the ball. Furthermore, it is more difficult to enter the ball due to the protrusion. FIG. 26B shows the open state b of this embodiment. In the open state b, the opening A3 formed by the gap between the opening / closing members 23, 23 and the first special figure starting port 22A is not less than the diameter B of the game ball 40, and only the opening / closing members 23, 23 are present. It can be said that a ball can be entered if it is determined only by the opening mode (opening angle or the like). However, the opening A3a formed by the gap between the protrusion and the first special figure starting port 22A is smaller than the diameter B of the game ball 40, and is actually in a state where it cannot enter. However, when only the opening mode (opening angle etc.) of only the opening and closing members 23, 23 is visually determined by the player, it is unclear whether or not it is possible to enter the ball. Moreover, this open state b is also an open state in which entering is easier than in the closed state, as in the first embodiment.
When the short-time opening / extending function is activated, the ordinary electric accessory of the present embodiment shifts from the above-mentioned closed state to the open state b incapable of entering the ball when the result of the normal determination is successful. An opening operation for returning to the closed state is executed. That is, the opening displacement is executed only up to the opening state b in which the ball cannot be entered. On the other hand, when the short-time opening / extending function is not activated, although not shown, the opening is displaced to the opening state where the ball can be entered beyond the opening state b. Thereby, it is comprised so that the rate of entrance into a normal electric accessory may become low at the time of operation rather than the time of non-operation of a short time open extension function. In addition, when the short-time opening extension function is operating, not only the method of making the opening displacement up to the opening state b where it is impossible to enter the ball at all times, it is also possible to mix the state where the ball can enter. At that time, a lottery for determining whether or not the player can enter the ball may be executed. Such an operation mode in which the opening operation is performed only to the open state b where the ball cannot be entered corresponds to a special operation mode of the present invention.
In addition, since the protrusion is provided, it is difficult to generate a state where the game ball 40 remains in the gap between the opening / closing members 23 and 23 and the first special figure starting port 22A when the open state b is opened. Become.
Further, when the short-time opening / extending function is activated, the gap between the opening / closing members 23 and 23 and the first special figure starting port 22A may be opened only to a size where the ball cannot enter, without providing a protrusion. .

  As mentioned above, although the Example which implements this invention was described, in the Example mentioned above, the pachinko machine 50 of the structure which pays out a lending ball and a prize ball to the upper plate 55 or the lower plate 63 was illustrated. However, without limiting to this, by storing the number of balls that can be played (launched) in a predetermined storage means, it is impossible for the player to touch the game balls without paying out prize balls or the like. A so-called enclosed game machine may be used.

  In addition, the ordinary electric accessory is not limited to the so-called tulip-shaped ordinary electric accessory, and when the result of the normal determination is successful, due to the action of the opening and closing member, the game ball cannot be entered from the closed state. Other configurations may be used as long as it is an ordinary electric accessory that can gradually change to an open state in which it is easier to enter the ball than in the closed state. For example, a pair of opening / closing members, that is, two sets, may not be configured. That is, it may be a single blade configuration provided independently, or conversely, an open / close member group including three or more open / close members. As a result, the degree of freedom increases in the design of ordinary electric accessories, and the interest can be improved.

  Moreover, as for the drive mode of the open / close member, the configuration of a general open / close member pivoted so as to be rotatable is illustrated, but without being limited thereto, as a result of the linear drive mode, from the closed state It may be configured to be able to change to an open state where it is easier to enter than the closed state. Compared to an opening / closing member that rotates about a predetermined center of rotation, even if both are gradually displaced by being driven linearly, the player can also visually recognize a change in the possibility of entering the ball. It becomes easy.

  In addition, although the opening whose size changes due to the displacement of the opening / closing member of the ordinary electric accessory is shown as an example of being formed as a gap between the upper end portion of the opening / closing member and the first special figure starting port 22A, it is not limited thereto. . That is, in addition to the first special figure starting port 22A, another structure (for example, a ball entry preventing member) that can form an opening depending on the positional relationship with the upper end of the opening / closing member may be provided. Thereby, there is no restriction on the arrangement position of the ordinary electric accessory and the first special figure starting port 22A, and a more free design is possible.

In addition, the present invention relates to a gaming machine having a function of releasing and extending a normal electric accessory. In the above-described examples, the preferred embodiments have been described as examples. However, a part of the technical idea described above is not limited to ordinary electric accessories, but includes a so-called variable winning device that can change from a difficult entry state to an easy entry state, such as a big prize opening. If there is, it can be implemented. Specifically, it has a grand prize opening and an open / close door that changes the grand prize opening from a closed state in which it is impossible to enter a ball to an open state in which it is at least easier to enter the ball than in the closed state, The open / close door in the posture is gradually opened and displaced to change to the open state, and the open / close door in the tilted posture in the open state is gradually closed and displaced to return from the open state to the closed state. It is a configuration. Further, during the opening operation, it is configured with an open state in which a ball can be entered and an open state in which a ball cannot be entered. In order to generate the open state in which the entrance can be made on the premise that the open / close door is gradually opened and closed, it is necessary to go through the open state in which the entrance is impossible, and the entrance is closed from the open state in which the entrance is possible. In order to return to the state, it is necessary to go through an open state where it is impossible to enter the ball. The time (required time) that the open state where the ball cannot enter occupies in one open operation is constant. Therefore, even with a variable winning device such as a big winning opening, if the number of times of the opening operation is larger within the same cumulative opening time, the winning rate becomes lower. Furthermore, even if the first open state (for example, the first big hit game state) of the grand prize winning opening is set to be longer than the second open state (for example, the second big hit game state), for example. By setting the number of times of opening and closing the opening / closing doors in the first open state to be overwhelmingly higher than in the second open state, the first open state has a lower entrance rate than the second open state. It becomes possible to do. That is, the overwhelmingly large number of opening operations means that the cumulative time in the open state in which the ball can be entered in the first open state is shorter than the cumulative time in the open state in which the ball can be entered in the second open state. It means to set a lot. If the number of times of opening is such that both are the same cumulative opening time, of course, the entrance rate is lower in the first opening state.
In this way, in the case of a variable prize winning device that performs an opening operation by gradually opening and closing the opening and closing doors, if the number of opening times calculated based on a predetermined condition is exceeded, the same cumulative opening time is reached. Even if it exists, it becomes possible to comprise so that a entrance rate may become lower than the case where there are few open | release times. Despite maintaining the open state for the same open time, the entrance rate can be varied. In addition, since it is not clear to the player how many times the number of times of opening is set as a threshold value, and the entrance rate is reversed, a plurality of types with a large number of times and a small number of times are set in advance based on the threshold value. May be. Thereby, it is possible to give the player the fun of playing while predicting whether the current rate is high or low.
