Description

  The present invention relates to gaming machines such as pachinko machines and arrange ball machines.

  In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, the symbol display means for variably displaying the symbol based on the detection of the game ball by the starter and stopping in the stop symbol mode based on the lottery result, and the stop after the variation by the symbol display means Special profit state generating means for generating a special profit state such as opening of a big prize opening when the pattern mode becomes a special mode, and a special game state such as a so-called open extended state with a predetermined probability after the special profit state ends. The mainstream is provided with special game state generating means for starting and ending the special game state when the special game state end condition is satisfied. Recently, two similar symbol display means are installed, and the average profit that a player can obtain is larger when one of them is fluctuating than when one of them is fluctuating ( There are many gaming machines (hereinafter referred to as two-symbol specifications).

  By the way, the special game state end condition is appropriately set according to the type of the special game state, etc., but this special game state end condition is defined by, for example, the number of fluctuations of the symbol display means, and the symbol display means after the start of the special game state There is also a gaming machine that is configured to end the special gaming state at the time when the value fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times). When this type of gaming machine has, for example, a design with two symbols, the special gaming state ends when the total number of symbol variations of the two symbol display means after the start of the special gaming state reaches a predetermined number. (For example, patent document 1).

And when the stop symbol form after the change by the normal symbol display means 35 becomes a predetermined aspect, generate a normal profit state that changes the second starting means 21 from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time, In the gaming machine set so that the average profit that the player can obtain is greater when the second starting means 21 detects the game ball than when the first starting means 20 detects the game ball, The special game state end condition is configured to include an end condition defined by the number of occurrences of the normal profit state.

  Further, the special game state end condition may include an end condition defined by the total number of symbol fluctuations of the first symbol display means 37 and the second symbol display means 38. Further, a plurality of types of at least one of the first and second special modes may be provided, and a plurality of types of special gaming state end conditions may be provided corresponding to the types of the first and second special modes. Further, during the special gaming state, the opening time of the second starting means 21 in the normal profit state may be longer than that in the normal gaming state other than the special gaming state.

  In addition, the first open / close-type winning means 22 that can change between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won, and in which the winning game ball is guided to the specific area 44a with a predetermined probability, A predetermined profit state generating means 75 for generating a predetermined profit state when the stop symbol form after the change by the two symbol display means 38 becomes a second predetermined aspect different from the second special aspect, and the predetermined profit state The first opening / closing type winning means 22 is opened according to one or a plurality of types of opening patterns, and the game balls won by the first opening / closing type winning means 22 are guided to the specific area 44a. The special profit state may be generated based on the basis.

  In this case, the predetermined profit state generation means 75 generates the predetermined profit state even when the stop symbol form after the change by the first symbol display means 37 becomes a first predetermined aspect different from the first special aspect. The probability that the stop symbol form after the change by the first symbol display means 37 becomes the first predetermined form is the probability that the stop symbol form after the change by the second symbol display means 38 is the second predetermined condition. You may make it lower than the probability which becomes an aspect.

  Also, a plurality of types of at least one of the first and second predetermined modes are provided, a plurality of types of special gaming state end conditions are provided corresponding to the types of the first and second predetermined modes, and the first open / close winning means When the special profit state occurs based on the game ball that has won the prize 22 being guided to the specific area 44a, it corresponds to the types of the first and second predetermined modes relating to the occurrence of the predetermined profit state The special game state ending condition to be used may be used.

  In addition, a second open / close winning means 23 that can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won is provided. You may comprise so that it may open | release according to either of multiple types of opening patterns. In addition, during the symbol variation of either one of the first and second symbol display means 37, 38, the other symbol variation is not started, and both the first and second symbol display means 37, 38 start symbol variation. When the state becomes possible, the symbol variation by the second symbol display means 38 may be started.

On the lower side, for example, when the upper plate 8 is full, a lower plate 9 for storing the surplus balls is arranged on the left end side, and a firing handle 10 for operating the firing means is arranged on the right end side. Further, on the upper plate cover 11 that covers the upper plate 8 and the like from the front side, production operation buttons 12 and 13, a ball lending operation unit 14 and the like are arranged.

  A game board 15 (FIG. 2) is detachably attached to the front frame 4 corresponding to the rear side of the glass door 5. On the front side of the game board 15, a guide rail 16 for guiding a game ball launched from the launching means is annularly mounted, and a center case 18 and a normal symbol start are provided in a game area 17 inside the guide rail 16. Means 19, first special symbol starting means (first starting means) 20, second special symbol starting means (second starting means) 21, first grand prize winning means (first opening / closing type winning means) 22, second grand prize winning Various game parts such as a means (second open / close winning means) 23 and a normal winning means 24 are arranged.

  The center case 18 is disposed, for example, on the upper side of the game area 17 at the approximate center in the left-right direction, and the front side of the game board 15 corresponding to the liquid crystal type or other image display means 25 fixed to the back side of the game board 15. It is detachably fixed to. The image display means 25 comprises a first effect symbol display means 26, a second effect symbol display means 27, a first special reserved number display means 28, a second special reserved number display means 29, and the like.

  The center case 18 abuts the front side of the game board 15 and is fixed to the game board 15 by a fixing screw or the like, and the inner area 18a corresponding to the image display means 25 etc. A display frame 33 that protrudes in front of the mounting plate 32 is integrally provided, for example, and the game balls that are driven into the upper side of the game area 17 by the launching means are distributed to the left and right at the top of the display frame 33, The center case 18 flows down either the left-side down flow path 34a on the left side or the right-side down-flow path 34b on the right side.

  Further, for example, on the display frame 33, the normal symbol display means 35, the normal reserved number display means 36, the first special symbol display means (first symbol display means) 37, the second special symbol display means (second symbol display means). ) In addition to the display means such as 38, for example, a warp inlet 39 into which a game ball flowing down the left flow path 34a can enter is entered on the left side, and a warp entrance 39 is entered in the lower front side of the image display means 25. A stage 41 is provided for allowing the game ball to roll freely in the left-right direction and to drop from the central drop part 40 at the center in the left-right direction or from both the left and right sides.

  The normal symbol starting means 19 is for starting the symbol variation by the normal symbol display means 35, is constituted by a passing gate through which a game ball can pass, and includes a game ball detecting means 19a for detecting the passage of the game ball. Yes. This normal symbol starting means 19 is disposed on the right side of the center case 18, for example, and the game ball flowing down the right flow path 34b has an overwhelmingly higher probability than the game ball flowing down the left flow path 34a. It is possible to pass.

  The normal symbol display means 35 is for variably displaying the normal symbol, and is composed of, for example, two light emitters (for example, LEDs) corresponding to two types of normal symbols “O” and “X”. Two light emitters alternate for a predetermined time on condition that the symbol starting means 19 detects the game ball, that is, the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting means 19 and the gaming ball detecting means 19a detects the game ball. Blinking, and when the winning determination random number value acquired when the game ball is detected by the normal symbol starting means 19 matches a predetermined winning determination value, the “○” side corresponding to the winning mode (predetermined mode) is displayed. The flashing is finished in a state where the light emitter emits light, and in other cases, the light emitter on the “x” side corresponding to the disengagement state emits light.

  Further, when the normal symbol starting means 19 detects a game ball during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display means 35 or during the normal profit state described later, a hit determination random number value acquired at the time of detection is determined in advance. The upper limit number, for example, 4 is stored as a limit, and the normal number-of-holds display means 36 made of, for example, the same number of light emitters as the upper limit number is used to determine the number of stored random numbers for the determination (hereinafter referred to as the normal number). Is displayed, and the player is notified of the number of normally reserved items at that time.

  The first special symbol starting means (first starting means) 20 is for starting the symbol variation by the first special symbol displaying means (first symbol displaying means) 37, and is a non-opening / closing type prize having no opening / closing means. The game ball detecting means 20a is configured to detect a winning game ball. The first special symbol starting means 20 is arranged, for example, in an upward opening shape below the central dropping portion 40 of the center case 18, and a route for winning a prize from the warp inlet 39 on the left flow path 34a side through the stage 41 is provided. Due to the presence of the game ball, the game ball flowing down the left flow path 34a can win with a higher probability than the game ball flowing down the right flow path 34b.

  The second special symbol starting means (second starting means) 21 is for starting the symbol variation by the second special symbol displaying means (second symbol displaying means) 38, and the game ball wins by the operation of the opening / closing means 42. It is configured by openable winning means that can be changed between a possible open state and a closed state that is impossible to win (or harder to win than the open state), and includes a game ball detection means 21a that detects a winning game ball, The opening / closing means 42 changes from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times when the stop pattern after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 35 becomes a hit mode (predetermined mode) and a normal profit state occurs. It has become. The second special symbol starting means 21 is disposed, for example, below the second special symbol starting means 21, and flows down the right flow path 34b from the game ball that has flowed down the left flow path 34a by a nail arrangement or the like. The game balls that have been played are more likely to win.

  The first special symbol display means (first symbol display means) 37 is composed of one or a plurality of, for example, one segment special display means capable of variably displaying one first special symbol (first symbol). The first special symbol starter 20 detects the game ball, that is, the game ball wins the first special symbol starter 20 and the game ball detector 20a detects the game ball. When one special symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time and the jackpot determination random number obtained when the first special symbol starter 20 detects a game ball matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, one or a plurality of types of jackpots In any of the modes (first special mode), one or a plurality of types of the small hit mode (first predetermined mode) when the value matches the small hit determination value, and one or more in other cases Husband in any of the out-of-kind aspects It is adapted to stop.

  In the present embodiment, no small hit determination value is provided for the first special symbol display means 37. Therefore, the stop symbol form after the fluctuation of the first special symbol display means 37 is either a big hit form or a disengagement form. Thus, the probability of a small hit mode is 0%. Further, regarding the first special symbol display means 37, four types of jackpot modes A1 to A4 shown in FIG. 4A are provided, and when the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, for example, the jackpot determination random number value On the basis of the jackpot symbol random value acquired together, any one of these jackpot modes A1 to A4 is selected at the selectivity shown in FIG. 4 (a).

  The second special symbol display means (second symbol display means) 38 is composed of one or a plurality of display means, for example, a seven-segment type display means capable of variably displaying one second special symbol (second symbol). The second special symbol starter 21 detects the game ball, that is, the game ball wins the second special symbol starter 21 and the game ball detector 21a detects the game ball. Two special symbols are displayed in a variable manner for a predetermined time, and when the jackpot determination random number obtained when the second special symbol starter 21 detects a game ball matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, one or a plurality of types of jackpots In any of the modes (second special mode), one or a plurality of types of the small hit mode (second predetermined mode) when the value matches the small hit determination value, and one or more in other cases Husband in any of the out-of-kind aspects It is adapted to stop.

  In the present embodiment, with respect to the second special symbol display means 38, if the big hit determination random number value does not match the big hit determination value, it always matches the small hit determination value, and therefore the second special symbol display means. The stop symbol mode after the 38 fluctuations is either a big hit mode or a small hit mode, and there is no case of a dismissal mode. The second special symbol display means 38 is provided with five types of big hit modes B1 to B5 shown in FIG. 4 (b) and five types of small hit modes b1 to b5 shown in FIG. 4 (c). When the determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, for example, based on the jackpot symbol random number value acquired together with the jackpot determination random value, any of the jackpot modes B1 to B5 is shown in FIG. When the jackpot determination random number value does not match the jackpot determination value, for example, one of the small hit modes b1 to b5 is selected based on the jackpot symbol random number value as shown in FIG. To be selected.

  In addition, although a number symbol etc. may be used for the 1st and 2nd special symbols, a special meaning such as a combination of arbitrary lines and points so that the player cannot easily distinguish the type of the stopped symbol aspect. It is desirable to use a pattern that does not have

  Further, the first and second special symbol starting means 20, 21 are in play during the variable display of the first and second special symbols, or in the big hit state (special profit state) and the small hit state (predetermined profit state) which will be described later. When a sphere is detected, the jackpot determination random number value acquired at the time of detection is stored with a predetermined upper limit number of reservations, for example, four each as a limit, and the first and second special reservation number display means 28. , 29 display the number of stored jackpot determination random number values (hereinafter referred to as the first and second special reserved numbers) and inform the player of the first and second special reserved numbers at that time. ing.

  In this embodiment, the symbol variation of the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 is not started during the big hit state and the small hit state, and any of the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 is not started. Control is performed so that the other symbol variation is not started during one symbol variation, and both are not varying simultaneously. Further, when both the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 are in a state where the symbol variation can be started, the second special symbol display means 38 is more likely than the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 37. Control is performed so as to prioritize symbol variation.

  The first and second effect symbol display means 26 and 27 produce the symbol variation of the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38, and each one or plural, for example, three in the left-right direction. For example, the first and second effect symbols can be variably displayed on the display screen 25a of the image display means 25 together with various effect images. For example, the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 can be used to display the first and second effect symbols. The first and second effect symbols are changed in synchronization with the change of the special symbol. The first and second effect symbol display means 26 and 27 change the first and second effect symbols independently or display other effect images without synchronizing with the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols. There may be.

  For example, 10 types of numbers from “0” to “9” are used for the first and second effect symbols, and all three symbols such as “6, 6, 6”, “7, 7, 7” are the same. The ones with the same pattern are jackpots, for example, at least one different pattern is the jackpot or missed mode, for example, the stop symbols of the first and second special symbols are jackpots, jackpots, missed In the case of the mode, the first and second effect symbols are also stopped correspondingly in the big hit mode, the small hit mode, and the off mode.

  The first and second special reserved number display means 28 and 29 notify the first and second special reserved number, and the first and second special reserved number display means 28 and 29 are arranged on a predetermined portion on the display screen 25a of the image display means 25, for example, on the lower side. The first reserved display images 28a and 29a corresponding to the second reserved number are displayed so as to correspond to each other vertically, for example.

  The first big winning means (first open / close winning means) 22 is constituted by an open / close winning means that can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won by operating the opening / closing means 43. When the second special symbol display means 38 is changed to the stop symbol mode (second predetermined mode) and the small hit state (predetermined profit state) is generated, one or a plurality of opening / closing units 43 are provided. It opens according to one of the types of small hit release patterns. The first big winning means 22 is disposed, for example, on the right flow path 34b and on the downstream side of the normal symbol starting means 19, and flows down the right flow path 34b rather than the game ball flowing down the left flow path 34a. A game ball that can be won with a higher probability.

  The opening / closing means 43 of the first big winning means 22 is, for example, a plate-like body that is inclined toward the center side of the game area 17, and protrudes forward from the board surface of the game board 15 in the closed state. The open winning hole is closed and the game ball that has dropped to the upper side is guided toward the center side of the game area 17, and in the open state, it is retracted to the rear side of the board surface of the game board 15 and the winning hole is opened. The upper side is opened so that a game ball can be won.

  The first grand prize winning means 22 distributes a plurality of, for example, two specific areas 44a and normal areas 44b, and the game balls won in the first big prize winning means 22 into specific areas 44a and normal areas 44b. Means 45, specific game ball detection means 46a for detecting a game ball flowing into the specific area 44a, and normal game ball detection means 46b for detecting a game ball flowing into the normal area 44b. The game balls that have won the prize are guided to either the specific area 44a or the normal area 44b by the distributing means 45, and after being detected by either the specific game ball detecting means 46a or the normal game ball detecting means 46b, It is guided to the back side of the board 15.

  The specific area 44a and the normal area 44b are, for example, arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right. The distributing means 45 is, for example, a claw-like member disposed on the upper side corresponding to the specific area 44a and the normal area 44b, and is driven by a driving means (not shown) in a predetermined pattern around, for example, the front-rear rotation axis. By swinging, a specific guidance state in which the game ball is guided to the specific area 44a side while preventing inflow to the normal area 44b side, and a game ball to the normal area 44b side while preventing inflow to the specific area 44a side It is possible to switch to the normal guidance state for guiding. The distribution rate by the distribution means 45 is determined by the time ratio between the specific guidance state and the normal guidance state, but in this embodiment, the game balls won in the first big winning means 22 are divided into the specific area 44a and the normal area 44b. It shall be distributed at a ratio of 1: 9. Therefore, the probability that the game ball won in the first big winning means 22 is guided to the specific area 44a side is 1/10.

  The second big winning means (second open / close winning means) 23 is constituted by an open / close winning means that can be changed by an operation of the opening / closing means 47 between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won. The first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 after the change of the stopped symbol form becomes a big hit mode (first and second special aspects), or the game ball that won the first big prize winning means 22 is specified. When the big hit state is generated by the specific game ball detection means 46a being guided to the area 44a and detecting the game ball, the opening / closing means 47 is opened according to either one or a plurality of types of big hit release patterns. It has become.

  The opening / closing means 47 of the second big winning means 23 is, for example, a horizontally-long rectangular plate corresponding to a forward-opening winning prize opening, and can swing around a left-right rotation shaft provided on the lower side. In the closed state, the winning opening is closed along the board surface of the game board 15, and in the open state, the upper side protrudes forward from the board surface of the game board 15 so that it is inclined downward to the upper side. The game balls that have fallen are guided into the winning opening. The second big winning means 23 includes a game ball detecting means 48 for detecting a winning game ball.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control system of the pachinko machine. In FIG. 3, 51 is a main control board, 52 is an effect control board, and each of these control boards 51 and 52 collects the center case 18 mounted on the game board 15 and a plurality of other game parts from the back side. Each of them is housed in a substrate case that is detachably attached to appropriate positions on the back side of the gaming machine main body 1 including the front frame 4 and the game board 15 such as the back side of the back cover to be covered.

  The main control board 51 controls game operations in an integrated manner, and includes a normal random number generation processing means 61, a normal start detection processing means 62, a normal random number storage means 63, a normal symbol process, and the like composed of a CPU, ROM, RAM, and the like. Means 64, ordinary profit state generating means 65, first and second special random number generation processing means 71a and 71b, first and second special start detection processing means 72a and 72b, and first and second special random number storage means 73a and 73b. , First and second special symbol processing means 74a, 74b, small hit state generating means (predetermined profit state generating means) 75, big hit state generating means (special profit state generating means) 76, special gaming state generating means 77, control command Transmission means 78 and the like are provided.

  The normal random number generation processing means 61 is configured to repeatedly generate a hit determination random number or the like used for determining whether or not the changed normal symbol is set to be a hit mode at predetermined time intervals. The normal start detection processing means 62 performs processing based on the detection of the game ball by the normal symbol start means 19, and is generated by the normal random number generation processing means 61 based on the fact that the normal symbol start means 19 detects the game ball. The hit determination random number values and the like are acquired one by one, and the hit determination random number values and the like are stored in the first-in-first-out ordinary random number storage means 63 with a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four each) as a limit. It is configured.

  The normal symbol processing means 64 performs processing related to the normal symbol fluctuation display. The normal symbol display means 35 is in a state capable of variable display, and one or more hit determination random number values are stored in the normal random number storage means 63. On the condition that the number of normal holdings is 1 or more, the first hit determination random number value is extracted from the queue of hit determination random number values stored in the normal random number storage means 63, and the hit determination random number value In accordance with whether or not matches a predetermined hit determination value, determination of hit / miss is made and the normal symbol by the normal symbol display means 35 is changed for a predetermined time. In the case of “◯”, in the case of a detachment determination, the fluctuation of the normal symbol is stopped by “x” corresponding to the detachment mode.

  The normal profit state generating means 65 generates a normal profit state in which the second special symbol starting means 21 changes to the open state, and the determination result by the normal symbol processing means 64 is a hit determination, and the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 35 is changed. When the later stop symbol mode becomes a hit mode, the opening / closing unit 42 of the second special symbol starting unit 21 is changed to an open state for a predetermined time according to any of a plurality of types of opening / closing patterns.

  The first and second special random number creation processing means 71a and 71b are, in addition to the jackpot determination random number used for determining whether the first and second special symbols after the change are in the big hit mode, the small hit mode, or the out of block mode, When the special symbol after the change becomes a big hit mode or a small hit mode, the big hit symbol random number used for selecting the stop symbol mode, the variable pattern selection random number used for selecting the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol, and other predetermined random numbers are repeatedly generated. It is configured to perform special random number generation processing.

  The first and second special start detection processing means 72a and 72b perform processing based on the detection (winning) of the game ball by the first and second special symbol start means 20 and 21. Based on the detection of the game balls by the starting means 20, 21, the jackpot determination random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value created by the first and second special random number creation processing means 71a, 71b are obtained one by one, The jackpot determination random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value are stored in the first-in first-out first and second special random number storage means 73a and 73b with a predetermined upper limit holding number (for example, four each) as a limit. .

  The first and second special symbol processing means 74a and 74b perform processing related to the variable display of the first and second special symbols, and the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 are in a state in which the variable display is possible. The first and second special random number storage means 73a and 73b are stored on the condition that one or more jackpot determination random numbers are stored (the first and second special reserved numbers are one or more). , The first jackpot determination random number value is extracted from the queue of jackpot determination random number values stored in the second special random number storage means 73a, 73b, and the jackpot determination random number value is determined in advance as a jackpot determination value or a small hit determination A jackpot determination function for determining jackpot / small hit / loss according to whether or not the value matches, a jackpot / small hit / loss determination result, and the first and second special random number storage means 73a, 73b A special stop symbol mode selection function for selecting a stop symbol mode after fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, based on the jackpot symbol random number value and the like stored together with the random determination random number value, Based on the determination result, a variation pattern selection function for selecting one of a plurality of types as a variation pattern corresponding to the first and second effect symbols, and first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 by the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38, respectively. First, first and second fluctuations of the first and second special symbols are stopped in a selected stop symbol mode based on the fact that the fluctuation time corresponding to the selected fluctuation pattern elapses. A second special symbol variation control function is provided.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot determination is made with respect to the first special symbol display means 37, the four types of jackpot modes A1 to A4 are 50, 20, 20, and 10%, respectively, as shown in FIG. When the jackpot determination is made with respect to the second special symbol display means 38, the five jackpot modes B1 to B5 are 50, 20, 10, 10, 10 and 10 as shown in FIG. %, When the second special symbol display means 38 is determined to be a small hit determination, as shown in FIG. 4C, five types of small hit modes b1 to b5 are respectively 50, 20, 10 , 10, with a probability of 10%. In addition, the probability (hit probability) that it becomes a big hit mode in the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 is the same (for example, 1/200). Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the first special symbol display means 37 is not determined to be a big hit / losing judgment only, and the second special symbol display means 38 is not determined to be a big hit / small hit determination. There will be no losing judgment.

  In addition, for example, during the big hit state and the small hit state, the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 do not start the symbol variation, and either the first or second special symbol display means 37 or 38 During the symbol variation, the other symbol variation is not started and both are controlled not to be varied at the same time, and both the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 can start the symbol variation. When the state is reached, control is performed such that the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 38 is prioritized over the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 37.

  The small hit state generating means (predetermined profit state generating means) 75 is for generating a small hit state (predetermined profit state), and the first and second special symbol processing means 74a and 74b are used for the big hit / small hit / out. The determination result is a small hit determination (in this embodiment, only the second special symbol processing means 74b has a possibility of a small hit determination), and the first and second special symbol display means 37, 38 are used for the first and second. When the stop symbol form after the change of the special symbol becomes the small hit mode, a small hit state is generated in which the first big winning means 22 is opened according to a predetermined small hit release pattern. In the present embodiment, the small hit opening pattern is one type (for example, 0.5 seconds × one time), but a plurality of types may be provided.

  The jackpot state generating means (special profit state generating means) 76 is for generating a jackpot state (special profit state), and the first and second special symbol processing means 74a and 74b determine the big hit / small hit / out. Is a jackpot mode (first and second special modes) after the first and second special symbols are changed by the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38. Alternatively, when a game ball that has won the first big winning means 22 during the small hit state is guided to the specific area 44a, a big hit state is generated in which the second big winning means 23 is released according to a predetermined big hit releasing pattern. It has become.

  The jackpot release pattern of the present embodiment is based on the condition that a predetermined number of times (for example, 28 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the second big winning means 23 or that a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls have won. The closing operation is performed for a predetermined number of rounds, and three types of 5R, 10R, and 15R, for example, are provided depending on the number of rounds.

  In addition, in at least one of the multiple types of jackpot opening patterns, in addition to the normal round as described above, one or more short rounds in which the game balls are opened for a short period of time that can hardly be expected are performed. You may comprise. In this case, by providing multiple types of open patterns with the same total number of normal rounds and short-time rounds but different distributions, the actual rounds viewed from the player even if the number of rounds is the same in terms of specifications. The number can be different. For example, a 5R release pattern set to normal round × 5 + short time round × 10, a 10R release pattern set to normal round × 10 + short time round × 5, and a 15R release pattern set to normal round × 15 When the three types of open patterns are provided, the number of rounds in the specification can be set to the same 15R even though the substantial number of rounds is 5R, 10R, and 15R, respectively. In addition, you may provide the jackpot open | release pattern which performs only a short time round one or more times.

  The jackpot release pattern is selected according to the type of jackpot mode or jackpot mode, for example, as shown in FIG. That is, for the jackpot state that occurs when the first special symbol becomes a jackpot mode, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the 5R open pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode A1 and the jackpot as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4B, the jackpot state that occurs when the 10R opening pattern corresponding to the modes A2 to A4 is selected with a probability of 50% and the second special symbol is a jackpot mode. Depending on the type of the jackpot mode, the 15R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode B1, the 5R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode B2, and the 10R opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot mode B3 to B5 have a probability of 50, 20, and 30%, respectively. Selected. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), a small hit state occurs when the game ball that has won the first big winning means 22 during the small hit state is guided to the specific area 44a. 15R opening pattern corresponding to the small hitting mode b1, 5R opening pattern corresponding to the small hitting mode b2, and 10R opening pattern corresponding to the small hitting modes b3 to b5 according to the type of the small hitting mode at the time, It is selected with a probability of 20,30%.

  As described above, the first special symbol display means 37 does not have a small hit state, whereas the second special symbol display means 38 always has a small hit state when it does not have a big hit state. Therefore, with respect to the occurrence of the small hit state, the player is better when the second special symbol starter 21 detects the game ball than when the first special symbol starter 20 detects the game ball. It can be said that the average profit is large. In addition, regarding the jackpot release pattern selected when the stop symbol mode after the change becomes the jackpot mode, the second special symbol display unit 38 has a larger number of rounds than the first special symbol display unit 37. When an open pattern is selected with a higher probability (FIG. 4) and the second special symbol display means 38 changes, a big hit state may occur via a small hit state. However, it can be said that the average profit obtained by the player is greater when the second special symbol starter 21 detects the game ball than when the first special symbol starter 20 detects the game ball.

  The special game state generating means 77 is for generating a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the jackpot state, and includes an open extended state generation means 77a for generating an open extended state as an example of the special game state. ing. The open extended state generating means 77a starts the open extended state with a predetermined probability when the jackpot state ends, and ends the open extended state when one or more special game state end conditions are satisfied. It is supposed to let you.

  During the open extended state, the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 21 in the normal profit state is switched from the normal open time (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time) to the extended open time (for example, 2.7 seconds × 2 times). In addition, the fluctuation time of the first and second special symbols and the normal symbol is shortened than usual, and the hit probability for the normal symbol is changed from the normal probability (for example, 1/10) to the high probability (for example, 1 / 1.3). And can be switched.

  In the present embodiment, as the special gaming state termination condition, a first termination condition and a second termination condition are provided in addition to a basic termination condition for terminating the open extended state when the next jackpot state occurs. The first end condition defines an upper limit for the total number of symbol fluctuations by the first and second special symbol display means 37, 38. For example, when the first end condition is set to "100" The open extension state ends when the total number of changes in the first and second special symbols reaches 100. In addition, it is necessary to set this 1st completion | finish condition to 100 or less regarding an open extension state on a gaming machine rule.

  The second end condition defines an upper limit value of the number of occurrences of the small hit state. For example, when the second end condition is set to “3”, the number of occurrences of the small hit state is set to three. At that point, the extended extension state ends. In this embodiment, when the open extended state is not generated, “0” is set to at least one of the first and second end conditions.

  The combination of these first and second end conditions is selected according to the type of the big hit mode and the small hit mode as shown in FIG. That is, for the extended extended state that is started after the end of the jackpot state when the first special symbol is in the jackpot mode, for example, in the case of the jackpot mode A1 (selectivity 50%) as shown in FIG. The first end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “100”, and in the case of jackpot mode A2 (selection rate 20%), the first end condition is “100”, and the second end condition is In the case of the jackpot mode A3 (selection rate 20%), the first end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “1”, respectively, and the jackpot mode A4 (selection rate 10) is set. %), The first end condition is set to “0”, and the second end condition is set to “0”. Thereby, the probability that the open extended state will occur after the end of the jackpot state for the first special symbol is 90%.

  Thus, in the case of jackpot mode A1, the first end condition is set to “100” which is the maximum value in the gaming machine rule, whereas the second end condition is also set to “100”. However, since the number of occurrences of the small hit state is always less than or equal to the number of fluctuations of the first and second special symbols, the first end condition is always satisfied before the second end condition is satisfied. In the case of this embodiment, when a small hit state occurs and a game ball wins in the opened first big winning means 22, a big hit state occurs with a probability of 1/10. It is considered that the extended extension state often ends according to the basic end condition instead of the first and second end conditions (see FIG. 5). On the other hand, in the case of jackpots A2 and A3, the first end condition is also set to “100”, whereas the second end condition is “2” that is much smaller than the value of the first end condition. , “1”, the open extended state in this case is terminated with a high probability not by the first end condition but by the second end condition (see FIG. 6).

  Moreover, about the open extension state started after the end of the jackpot state when the second special symbol is a jackpot mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the jackpot mode B1, B2 (selectivity 70%) In this case, the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “100”. In the case of jackpot mode B3 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is “100” and the second end condition is set. When the condition is set to “3” and the jackpot mode B4 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “2”, and the jackpot mode B5 (selected) In the case of 10%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “1”.

  Thus, in the case of jackpots B1 and B2, the first end condition is set to “100” which is the maximum value in the gaming machine rule, whereas the second end condition is set to “100”. Since it is set, the first end condition is always satisfied before the second end condition is satisfied, as in the case of the jackpot mode A1, but in the present embodiment, the basic condition is not the first and second end conditions. It is considered that there are many cases where the process is terminated depending on the target termination condition (see FIG. 5). On the other hand, in the case of jackpot modes B3 to B5, the first end condition is also set to “100”, whereas the second end condition is “3” which is much smaller than the value of the first end condition. , “2” and “1”, the open extended state in this case is terminated with a high probability not by the first end condition but by the second end condition (see FIG. 6).

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 4C, the open extended state that is started after the end of the big hit state when the game ball won in the first big win means 22 during the small hit state is guided to the specific area 44a. In addition, in the case of the small hit mode b1, b2 (selection rate 70%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “100”, respectively, and the small hit mode b3 (selection rate 10%) In this case, the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “3”. In the case of the small hit mode b4 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is “100”, 2 When the end condition is set to “2” and the small hit mode b5 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “1”. Thus, the combination of the 1st, 2nd end conditions in the case of small hit mode b1-b5 is the same as the case of big hit mode B1-B5.

  As described above, for the special game state that occurs after the end of the big hit state, the case where the second special symbol display means 38 is in the big win mode rather than the first special symbol display means 37 in the big win mode When the special gaming state end condition advantageous to the player is selected with a higher probability, and the second special symbol display means 38 changes, a big hit state is generated via the small hit state, whereby the special gaming state Therefore, when the second special symbol starter 21 detects a game ball, the game is more likely to occur than when the first special symbol starter 20 detects a game ball. It can be said that the average profit earned by a person is large.

  The control command transmission means 78 is for transmitting a predetermined control command to the sub-control board side such as the effect control board 52 by one-way communication to give a control command. The first and second special symbol processing means 74a, Based on the first and second special symbol processing by 74b, the first and second reserved decrease commands for designating the decrease of the first and second special reserved numbers at the start of the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, the first , The first and second variation pattern designation commands for designating the variation pattern of the second effect design, and the first and second stop symbol designating commands for designating the stop symbol configuration of the first and second special symbols in this order. Transmit to the control board 52 side, and send the first and second change stop designation commands to the effect control board 52 side to instruct the change stop of the first and second effect symbols at the end of the change of the first and second special symbols. Function, 1st and 2nd special hold The function of transmitting the first and second hold increase commands to specify the increase of the first and second special hold numbers when the number increases to the effect control board 52 side, the generation of the special game state by the special game state generating means 77 A function for transmitting a special game state generation command, a special game state end command, and the like to the effect control board 52 side at the time and at the end of the game.

  The effect control board 52 controls various effect means such as first and second effect symbol display means 26 and 27, first and second special reserved number display means 28 and 29, audio output means 81, and illumination means 82. For this purpose, it is provided with production symbol control means 83, special reserved number display control means 84 and the like.

  The effect symbol control means 83 controls the display of the first and second effect symbol display means 26 and 27 and the accompanying sound output means 81 and the electric decoration means 82. When the two variation pattern designation command is received, the variation of the representation symbol by the first and second representation symbol display means 26 and 27 based on the designated variation pattern and the accompanying voice output and light emission are started. When the first and second variation stop designation commands are received, the first and second stop symbol embodiments selected based on the first and second variation pattern designation commands and the first and second variation pattern designation commands are first and first. (2) The change of the effect design is stopped, and the accompanying voice output and illumination are stopped.

  The special reserved number display control means 84 controls the display of the first and second special reserved number display means 28 and 29, and a new game ball is detected by the first and second special symbol starting means 20 and 21. When the first and second hold increase commands are received from the main control board 51, the first and second hold increase commands are displayed at predetermined positions on the display screen 25a of the image display means 25 based on the first and second hold increase commands. The number of the hold display images 28a and 29a being displayed is displayed based on, for example, receiving the first and second hold decrease commands from the main control board 51 by displaying the hold display images 28a and 29a corresponding to the two special hold numbers. Decrease by one and shift to the front side.

  In the pachinko machine of the present embodiment configured as described above, the second special symbol display than the average profit obtained by the player based on the variation of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display means 37 as described above. Since the average profit that the player can obtain based on the variation of the second special symbol by the means 38 is larger, the player has the second special symbol starting means 21 than winning the game ball by the first special symbol starting means 20. It is basically advantageous to make a prize.

  However, during the normal game state other than the open extended state, the probability that the normal symbol display means 35 will be in the hit state is low, and even if the normal symbol is in the hit state and the normal profit state occurs, the second special symbol is generated. Since the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 21 for starting the fluctuation is short (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time), the normal special symbol starting means 19 and the second special symbol starting means 21 are aimed at the right. Even if a strike is made, the possibility of winning the second special symbol starting means 21 is extremely low. On the other hand, the first special symbol starting means 20, which is a non-actuated winning means, does not change the difficulty of winning depending on the gaming state, and stable winning can be expected even during the normal gaming state. Therefore, in the case of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the player does not make a right turn from the normal game state, aiming at the normal symbol starting means 19 and the second special symbol starting means 21 on the right flow down path 34b side. As a first step, in order to generate an open extended state, it is a shortcut to earning a large profit in the end by making a left turn and aiming for a prize to the first special symbol starting means 20 from the left downstream path 34a side.

  The player makes a left strike in the normal gaming state, and the game ball wins the first special symbol starting means 20 from the central drop portion 40 through the left flow path 34a, for example, the warp inlet 39, the stage 41, or the stage. When the first special symbol starting means 20 is won by being guided by the game nails without passing through 41 etc., the game ball is detected by the game ball detecting means 20a when guided to the back side of the game board 15, thereby A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 8, and the first special symbol display means 37 and the first effect symbol display means 26 change the first special symbol and the first effect symbol.

  When the first special symbol and the first effect symbol stop in the big hit mode during the normal gaming state, a big hit state occurs, and according to the jackpot release pattern (FIG. 4 (a)) selected according to the type of the big hit mode The second big winning means 23 is opened. When a game ball wins while the second big winning means 23 is open, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 8. Therefore, the player can easily obtain a large amount of prize balls by aiming at the second big winning means 23 and switching to the right strike, for example.

  Moreover, after the jackpot state ends, an open extension state occurs with a probability of 90%, for example (FIG. 4A). During the open extended state, the hit probability for the normal symbol is switched from the normal probability (for example, 1/10) to the high probability (for example, 1 / 1.3), and the second special symbol starting means 21 is opened in the normal profit state. Since the time is switched from the normal opening time (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time) to the extended opening time (for example, 2.7 seconds × 2 times), the player usually hits the right hand during the jackpot state, By aiming at the symbol starting means 19 and the second special symbol starting means 21, it is possible to change the second special symbol that is more advantageous to the player.

  Here, the open extended state that occurs when the first special symbol becomes a jackpot mode is a game for any of the first end conditions that define the upper limit value for the total number of fluctuations of the first and second special symbols. Since it is set to “100”, which is the maximum value in the machine rule, and the second end condition that defines the upper limit value of the number of occurrences of the small hit state is set, for example, in the case of the big hit modes A2 and A3 Even in the extended extended state that ends in a relatively short period of time, the symbol variation by the second special symbol display means 38, which is more advantageous for the player, can be surely executed by a certain number of times before the end.

  For example, if it is assumed that the first end condition of the open extended state is set to “1” and the open extended state occurs when the first special reserve number is 1 or more, then the second special symbol starting means 21 If the game ball wins, the second special symbol will change even if the number of the first special reserve at that time is 1 or more, but it will be extended when the first special symbol changes by then. Since the state ends, the open extension state may end without the second special symbol fluctuating. In that regard, in the case of the big hit mode A3 of this embodiment, the number of occurrences of the small hit state is set to “1” as the second end condition, and the small hit state does not occur due to the fluctuation of the first special symbol. For example, even if the extended extended state occurs when the number of the first special reserve is 1 or more, the second special symbol can be reliably changed once or more until the small hit state occurs once.

  When the second special symbol becomes a small hit mode, a small hit state occurs, and the first big winning means 22 is released in a predetermined small hit release pattern. Then, when the game ball won in the first big winning means 22 is guided to the specific area 44a side by the distributing means 45, a big hit state occurs, and according to the kind of the small hit state related to the occurrence of the small hit state The second big winning means 23 is opened according to the jackpot opening pattern (FIG. 4C). Also, when the second special symbol becomes a jackpot mode, a jackpot state is generated, and the second jackpot means 23 is opened according to the jackpot release pattern (FIG. 4B) according to the type of the jackpot mode. When a game ball wins while the second big winning means 23 is open, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 8. Therefore, the player can easily obtain a large number of prize balls by aiming at the second big winning means 23 and continuing the right strike as it is.

  In the case of this embodiment, the stop symbol mode after the change of the second special symbol is either the big hit mode or the small hit mode, and the small hit mode is generated and thereby released. When a game ball wins one big winning means 22, a big hit state occurs with a probability of 1/10, and an open extended state always occurs after the big hit state related to the second special symbol ends, and the open extended state Since the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “100” with a probability of 70%, once the open extended state occurs, the jackpot state is generated at a short interval with a high probability thereafter. be able to.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the special game state end condition includes the second end condition defined by the number of occurrences of the small hit state (predetermined profit state). Regardless of the fluctuation ratio of the first and second special symbols, the player can stably obtain a certain profit or more during the special gaming state. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, the small hit state occurs only when the second special symbol is in the small hit state, and therefore, during the special gaming state, the second special symbol that is more advantageous to the player is stabilized more than a certain number of times. Can be varied.

  7 to 9 illustrate the second embodiment of the present invention. The first embodiment is partially changed, and the second end condition of the special game state end conditions is changed to the second special symbol display means. 38 shows an example defined by the number of symbol fluctuations by 38. The configuration of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the content of the second end condition.

  As in the first embodiment, the special game state end condition of the present embodiment includes a basic end condition, a first end condition, and a second end condition. The contents of the basic end condition and the first end condition are the same as in the first embodiment, but the second end condition is determined not by the number of occurrences of the small hit state but by the second special symbol display means 38. The upper limit of the number of symbol fluctuations is specified. For example, when the second end condition is set to “3”, the open extension state ends when the number of times the second special symbol display means 38 has changed three times.

  As shown to Fig.7 (a), about the extended extension state started after the end of the jackpot state when the first special symbol is a jackpot mode, the first special symbol is the first in the case of the jackpot mode A1 (selectivity 50%). When the end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “100”, and the big hit mode A2 (selection rate 20%), the first end condition is “100” and the second end condition is “2”. In the case of jackpot mode A3 (selectivity 20%), the first end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “1”, and jackpot mode A4 (selectivity 10%) is set. In this case, the first end condition is set to “0”, and the second end condition is set to “0”. Thereby, the probability that the open extended state will occur after the end of the jackpot state for the first special symbol is 90%.

  Thus, in the case of jackpot mode A1, the first end condition is set to “100” which is the maximum value in the gaming machine rule, whereas the second end condition is also set to “100”. However, since the number of changes in the second special symbol is always less than or equal to the total number of changes in the first and second special symbols, the first end condition is always satisfied before the second end condition is satisfied. In the case of the present embodiment, either the big hit state or the small hit state occurs after the second special symbol changes, and the game ball wins the first big winning means 22 in which the small hit state occurs and is released. In such a case, a jackpot state is generated with a probability of 1/10. Therefore, it is considered that the open extended state in the case of the jackpot mode A1 is often terminated not by the first and second end conditions but by the basic end condition. (See FIG. 8). On the other hand, in the case of jackpots A2 and A3, the first end condition is also set to “100”, whereas the second end condition is “2” that is much smaller than the value of the first end condition. , “1”, the open extended state in this case is terminated with a high probability by the second end condition instead of the first end condition (see FIG. 9).

  Moreover, about the open extension state started after the end of the jackpot state when the second special symbol is a jackpot mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the jackpot mode B1, B2 (selectivity 70%) In this case, the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “100”. In the case of jackpot mode B3 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is “100” and the second end condition is set. When the condition is set to “3” and the jackpot mode B4 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “2”, and the jackpot mode B5 (selected) In the case of 10%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “1”.

  Thus, in the case of jackpots B1 and B2, the first end condition is set to “100” which is the maximum value in the gaming machine rule, whereas the second end condition is set to “100”. Since it is set, the first end condition is always satisfied before the second end condition is satisfied, as in the case of the jackpot mode A1, but in the present embodiment, the basic condition is not the first and second end conditions. It is considered that there are many cases where the process is terminated depending on the target termination condition (see FIG. 8). On the other hand, in the case of jackpot modes B3 to B5, the first end condition is also set to “100”, whereas the second end condition is “3” which is much smaller than the value of the first end condition. , “2” and “1”, the open extended state in this case is terminated with a high probability not by the first end condition but by the second end condition (see FIG. 9).

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 7C, the open extended state that is started after the end of the big hit state when the game ball won in the first big win means 22 during the small hit state is guided to the specific area 44a. In addition, in the case of the small hit mode b1, b2 (selection rate 70%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “100”, respectively, and the small hit mode b3 (selection rate 10%) In this case, the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “3”. In the case of the small hit mode b4 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is “100”, 2 When the end condition is set to “2” and the small hit mode b5 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “1”. Thus, the combination of the 1st, 2nd end conditions in the case of small hit mode b1-b5 is the same as the case of big hit mode B1-B5.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the special game state end condition includes the second end condition defined by the number of symbol fluctuations by the second special symbol display means 38. Regardless of the variation ratio of the first and second special symbols in FIG. 2, the second special symbol that is more advantageous to the player during the special gaming state can be stably varied a predetermined number of times.

  10 to 12 illustrate the third embodiment of the present invention. The first and second embodiments are partly changed, and the second end condition of the special game state end condition is changed to the normal profit state. An example defined by the number of occurrences of is shown. The configuration of this embodiment is the same as that of the first and second embodiments except for the content of the second end condition.

  As in the first and second embodiments, the special gaming state end condition of the present embodiment is composed of a basic end condition, a first end condition, and a second end condition. The contents of the basic end condition and the first end condition are the same as in the first and second embodiments, but the second end condition is different from the first and second embodiments and is a normal profit. An upper limit for the number of occurrences of a condition is specified. For example, when the second end condition is set to “3”, the open extension state ends when the number of occurrences of the normal profit state reaches three.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the open extended state that is started after the end of the jackpot state when the first special symbol is in the jackpot mode is the first in the case of the jackpot mode A1 (selectivity 50%). When the end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “100”, and the big hit mode A2 (selection rate 20%), the first end condition is “100” and the second end condition is “2”. In the case of jackpot mode A3 (selectivity 20%), the first end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “1”, and jackpot mode A4 (selectivity 10%) is set. In this case, the first end condition is set to “0”, and the second end condition is set to “0”. Thereby, the probability that the open extended state will occur after the end of the jackpot state for the first special symbol is 90%.

  Thus, in the case of jackpot mode A1, the first end condition is set to “100” which is the maximum value in the gaming machine rule, whereas the second end condition is also set to “100”. However, in this case, it is considered that the first end condition is mostly satisfied before the second end condition is satisfied. In the case of the present embodiment, either the big hit state or the small hit state occurs after the second special symbol changes, and the game ball wins the first big winning means 22 in which the small hit state occurs and is released. In such a case, a jackpot state is generated with a probability of 1/10. Therefore, it is considered that the open extended state in the case of the jackpot mode A1 is often terminated not by the first and second end conditions but by the basic end condition. (See FIG. 11). On the other hand, in the case of jackpots A2 and A3, the first end condition is also set to “100”, whereas the second end condition is “2” that is much smaller than the value of the first end condition. , “1”, the open extended state in this case is terminated with a high probability not by the first end condition but by the second end condition (see FIG. 12).

  Moreover, about the open extension state started after the end of the jackpot state when the second special symbol is a jackpot mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the jackpot mode B1, B2 (selectivity 70%) In this case, the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “100”. In the case of jackpot mode B3 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is “100” and the second end condition is set. When the condition is set to “3” and the jackpot mode B4 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is set to “100”, the second end condition is set to “2”, and the jackpot mode B5 (selected) In the case of 10%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “1”.

  Thus, in the case of jackpots B1 and B2, the first end condition is set to “100” which is the maximum value in the gaming machine rule, whereas the second end condition is set to “100”. Since it is set, it is considered that the first end condition is mostly satisfied before the second end condition is satisfied, as in the case of the jackpot mode A1, but in the case of the present embodiment, the first, It is considered that there are many cases where the process is terminated not by the second termination condition but by the basic termination condition (see FIG. 11). On the other hand, in the case of jackpot modes B3 to B5, the first end condition is also set to “100”, whereas the second end condition is “3” which is much smaller than the value of the first end condition. , “2” and “1”, the open extended state in this case is terminated with a high probability not by the first end condition but by the second end condition (see FIG. 12).

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 10C, the open extended state that is started after the end of the big hit state when the game ball won in the first big win means 22 during the small hit state is guided to the specific area 44a. In addition, in the case of the small hit mode b1, b2 (selection rate 70%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “100”, respectively, and the small hit mode b3 (selection rate 10%) In this case, the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “3”. In the case of the small hit mode b4 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is “100”, 2 When the end condition is set to “2” and the small hit mode b5 (selection rate 10%), the first end condition is set to “100” and the second end condition is set to “1”. Thus, the combination of the 1st, 2nd end conditions in the case of small hit mode b1-b5 is the same as the case of big hit mode B1-B5.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, the special game state end condition includes the second end condition defined by the number of occurrences of the normal profit state, so the first and first states in the special game state. Regardless of the variation rate of the two special symbols, the second special symbol that is more advantageous to the player during the special gaming state can be stably varied a predetermined number of times.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, the probability that the stop symbol mode after the change by the first special symbol display unit 37 becomes the small hit mode and the small hit state occurs is set to 0%, but only the second special symbol display unit 38 is used. Alternatively, the probability that the stop symbol mode after the change by the first special symbol display means 37 becomes the small hit mode (first predetermined mode) and the small hit state occurs may be set to a value larger than 0%. In this case, the probability that the stop symbol form after the change by the first special symbol display means 37 becomes the small hitting aspect (first predetermined aspect) is the probability that the stop symbol form after the change by the second special symbol display means 38 is the small hit aspect. It is desirable to make it lower than the probability of becoming (second predetermined mode).

  The special gaming state end condition may be configured to include a plurality of the three types of second end conditions in the first to third embodiments at the same time. For example, the special game state end condition is a second end condition defined by the number of occurrences of the small hit state (predetermined profit state), and a third end condition defined by the number of symbol fluctuations by the second special symbol display means 38. The fourth end condition defined by the number of occurrences of the normal profit state may be included. In this case, depending on the type of the big hit / small hit mode, one of the second to fourth end conditions may not be set. Also, a plurality of special game state end conditions may be provided and used by switching them.

  In the embodiment, both the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 are not changing at the same time, and both the first and second special symbol display means 37 and 38 can start the symbol change. In this example, the second special symbol display unit 38 is configured to give priority to the symbol variation. However, any one of the first and second special symbol display units 37 and 38 is changing. However, the other variation may be configured to be able to start. However, also in this case, when the second special symbol display means 38 fluctuates more than when the first special symbol display means 37 fluctuates (when the first start means detects a game ball) (second start means becomes the game ball). Is set so that the average profit that the player can obtain is larger.

  The special gaming state is not limited to the so-called open extended state as long as it is advantageous to the player, and may be, for example, a so-called probabilistic state in which the jackpot probability is higher than usual, but the second special symbol starting means 21 in the normal profit state. It is desirable that the opening time of the game be longer than that in the normal gaming state.

  The present invention is not limited to pachinko machines and can be similarly implemented in various game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
