The gaming machine 1 provides a pachinko game to a player who has visited a game hall (not shown), and includes an outer frame 3 attached to a game island (not shown) and an inner frame 5 attached to the outer frame 3 so as to be opened and closed. A game board 7 attached to the inner frame 5 and arranged to face the player, a handle 9 for launching a game ball on the game board 7 for the player to perform a game action, and a game board 7 is a top tray 11 that stores prizes provided as a result of the gaming action in FIG. 7, here, game balls 8 (the game balls 8 paid out as prizes are referred to as prize balls), and the game balls 8 that are discharged from the top tray 11. A lower tray 13 is provided.

  The game board 7 facing the player includes a symbol display device 21 that provides an interesting symbol to the player, a first start port 17, and a second start port 18 at a position visible to the player. . The first start port 17 is located directly below the second start port 18. An ordinary electric accessory (electric tulip) 19 is provided in the vicinity of the first start port 17. The normal electric accessory 19 is opened in a high-probability state or a short time, which will be described later, so that the game ball 8 can easily enter the first start port 17.

  The game board 7 also includes a special winning combination 24 having a special prize opening 25 and a function of providing a large amount of prize balls by opening the special prize opening 25, and a first result of displaying a special symbol game result. Special symbol display device 31 and second special symbol display device 32, first special symbol memory display device 33 that displays the number of first special symbol games held and second special symbol that displays the number of second special symbol games held When the memory display device 34, the game ball 8 passes, a normal symbol start gate 35 having a function of outputting a normal symbol start signal for a normal symbol game, a normal symbol display device 37 for displaying the result of the normal symbol game, And a normal symbol memory display device 39 for displaying the number of normal symbol games held. The first special symbol memory display device 33, the second special symbol memory display device 34, and the normal symbol memory display device 39 described above each include four lamps, and among the four lamps, the number corresponds to the number of holds. Only the number of lamps to be turned on is configured to be lit. Further, the game board 7 is provided with a time reduction display LED 42 for displaying whether the variable time shortening function (hereinafter referred to as time reduction) is in operation (that is, time reduction).

In addition, the gaming machine 1 includes a main control board 41 and a symbol control board 43 that control the respective components of the gaming machine 1 and execute processing to be described later.
2. Processing executed by the gaming machine 1 Processing executed by the gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
(1) Start winning process When the gaming ball 1 wins the first starting port 17 or the second starting port 18, the gaming machine 1 performs a process (start winning process) for acquiring a random number (determination value). This start winning process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In step 10, one random number is acquired from the counters 0 to 746. This random number is a big hit random number, and is used later to determine whether or not it is a big hit.
In step 20, one random number is acquired from the counters 0 to 99. This random number is a jackpot symbol random number and is used later for setting a jackpot stop symbol. The jackpot symbol random number is used for setting a probability variation (high probability state / low probability state), a short time, and the number of rounds in the jackpot game, which will be described later.

  In step 30, a random number of 1 is acquired from 0 to 88 counters. This random number is a reach determination random number, and is used to set whether or not to display reach in a variation display process described later.

  In step 40, one random number is acquired from the counters 0 to 1306. This random number is a special figure variation pattern selection random number, and is used later for setting a variation pattern in variation display.

In step 50, one random number is acquired from 0 to 100 counters. This random number is a special figure big hit variation selection random number, and is used later for setting a variation pattern in variation display.

In step 60, a big hit random number determination process is performed. The jackpot random number determination process will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
In step 110, it is determined whether or not the hold memory generated by winning the game ball becomes a non-priority hold memory. Specifically, if the game ball wins the second start opening 18, it is determined that the non-priority reserved memory is set (YES), and the process proceeds to step 120. On the other hand, when the game ball wins the first starting port 17, it is determined that the priority hold storage is made (NO), and this processing is terminated.

  In step 120, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine 1 is in a high probability state. The high probability state means that the jackpot random number is 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39 Either of them is a big hit. In a state that is not in a high probability state (low probability state), the big hit is a big hit only when the big hit random number is 3 or 7. If it is a high probability state, the process proceeds to step 130, and if it is not a high probability state, the process proceeds to step 170.

  In step 130, the jackpot random number acquired in step 10 becomes a jackpot value in a high probability state (high probability jackpot judgment value), that is, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 , 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39. If the jackpot random number acquired in step 10 is a high probability jackpot determination value, the process proceeds to step 140. If the jackpot random number is not a high probability jackpot determination value, the process ends.

  In step 140, it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number acquired in step 10 is a value (3, 7) that is a jackpot even in a low probability state. If it is 3 or 7, go to step 150. On the other hand, if it is neither 3 nor 7, the process proceeds to step 210 and assist effect 1 is set. When the assist effect 1 is set, a predetermined display is made during a big hit game. Details will be described later.

  In step 150, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol random number acquired in step 20 causes a probability variation (so-called probabilistic variation, which changes a low probability state to a high probability state). When it is a thing which produces a probability fluctuation | variation, it progresses to step 160. On the other hand, if the probability variation is not caused, the process proceeds to step 220, and the assist effect 2 is set. When the assist effect 2 is set, a predetermined display is made during a big hit game. Details will be described later.

In step 160, assist production 3 is set. When the assist effect 3 is set, a predetermined display is made during a big hit game. Details will be described later.
If NO is determined in step 120, the process proceeds to step 170, and it is determined whether or not the gaming machine 1 is short in time. The time saving is a state in which when the first special symbol display device 31 or the second special symbol display device 32 performs variable display, the time of the variable display is set shorter than usual. Further, the time reduction may be a state in which when the normal symbol display device 37 performs variable display, the time for the variable display is set shorter than normal. If the time is short, the process proceeds to step 180. If the time is not short, the process ends.

  In step 180, it is determined whether or not the jackpot random number acquired in step 10 is a value (3, 7) that is a jackpot even in a low probability state. If it is 3 or 7, the process proceeds to step 190, and if it is neither 3 nor 7, the process proceeds to step 230.

  In step 190, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol random number acquired in step 20 causes a probability variation (a low probability state is changed to a high probability state). When it is a thing which produces a probability fluctuation | variation, it progresses to step 200. In step 200, as in step 160, the assist effect 3 is set. On the other hand, if it does not cause the probability fluctuation, the process proceeds to step 240, and the assist effect 2 is set as in step 220.

  When it is determined NO in step 180, the process proceeds to step 230, and “the effect that is only part of other determination values” is set. When this is set, it will not be a big hit in the end, but it will give the player the expectation that it will be a big hit.

  In addition, when a game ball is won at the first start port 17 or the second start port 18, if the variation start processing described later or the big hit game is not provided, it is acquired in the above steps 10 to 50. The process at the start of fluctuation is performed using a random number. Here, when the game ball wins the first start opening 17, only the first special symbol display device 31 is used when the change display is performed in the change start process, and the game ball is in the second start opening 18. When winning a prize, only the second special symbol display device 32 is used.

  On the other hand, when a game ball wins at the first start port 17 or the second start port 18, if one of the start processing of fluctuation or the provision of a big hit game is performed, one reserved memory per winning game Is stored in a memory (not shown) of the main control board 41, and the random numbers acquired in steps 10 to 50 are stored in association with the corresponding reserved storage. In addition, the holding memory (hereinafter referred to as the first holding memory) due to the winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 17 and the holding memory (hereinafter referred to as the first holding memory) due to the winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 18 are described. Is stored separately from the second reserved storage). The upper limit of the number that can be stored in each of the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory is set to four. Therefore, for example, when there are already four first reserved memories, even if a game ball wins the first start port 17, the first reserved memory by the winning does not occur.

(2) Fluctuation start process Next, the fluctuation start process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. When there is a pending storage, the fluctuation start time process is executed once by digesting one reserved memory. The reserved memory is digested from the earliest stored, and the digested reserved memory is erased. However, as described above, the holding memory includes the first holding memory and the second holding memory, and when the first holding memory exists, even if the second holding memory exists, The first reserved memory is preferentially digested. Therefore, the second reserved memory is consumed only when the first reserved memory does not exist. When the first reserved memory is used, only the first special symbol display device 31 is used when the variable display is performed in the variable start process. In addition, when the second reserved memory is used, only the second special symbol display device 32 is used. When the change start process is executed after digesting the hold memory, various random numbers (acquired in the start winning process described above) stored in association with the hold memory are used in the change start process. In addition, when there is no reserved storage, when the game ball is won at the first start port 17 or the second start port 18, the process at the start of variation is executed.

  The variation start process is started after the previous variation start process is completed. In addition, if a big hit game is provided as a result of the above processing at the start of fluctuation, the big hit game is started after the big hit game ends.

As shown in FIG. 4, the variation start process includes a big hit determination process (step 310), a stop symbol creation process (step 320), a variation pattern selection process (step 330), and a variation display process (step 340).

  The big hit determination process will be described with reference to FIG. In step 410, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine 1 is in a high probability state. If it is a high probability state, the process proceeds to step 420, and if it is a low probability state, the process proceeds to step 440.

  In step 420, the jackpot random number acquired in step 10 (the jackpot random number associated with the hold memory when digesting the hold memory and performing the change start process) is the jackpot (1, 3 in the high probability state). 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 430.

  On the other hand, in step 440, it is determined whether or not the big hit random number obtained in step 10 is one of the big hits (3, 7) in the low probability state. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 430.

  In step 430, a big hit determination value is stored if it is determined in step 420 or step 440 that it is a big hit, and an outage determination value is stored if it is determined that it is not a big hit.

Next, the stop symbol creation process (step 320 in FIG. 4) will be described based on the flowchart in FIG.
In step 510, it is determined in step 430 whether a big hit determination value is stored or a loss determination value is stored. When the big hit determination value is stored, the process proceeds to step 520, and when the loss determination value is stored, the process proceeds to step 530.

  In step 520, based on the jackpot symbol random number obtained in step 20 (if the start-of-change process is performed by digesting the reserved memory, the symbol pattern random number associated with the reserved memory) 4 in step 340), the number of rounds in the jackpot game process to be described later, the number of time reductions (conditions for the completion of the time reduction), and the jackpot 25 (see FIG. 1) in the jackpot game process are opened. Determine the time (hereinafter referred to as the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening). There are many types of big hit stop symbols, but they are divided into two types, “probability change” and “non-probability change”. When the “probable change” jackpot stop symbol is displayed, the gaming machine 1 is in a high probability state until the “non-probability change” jackpot stop symbol is displayed. Further, when the number of time reductions is determined to be n times (n is a natural number), thereafter, the fluctuation display time in the fluctuation display process is shortened in n fluctuation start processing. Further, when “until next big hit” is set for the time reduction, thereafter, the variable display time in the variable display process is shortened until the next big hit. For example, if the jackpot design random number is 1, 50, 99, set the jackpot stop symbol, the number of rounds, the number of time reductions (conditions for the completion of the time reduction), and the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening as shown in Table 1. To do.

In step 530, a stop symbol for detachment in the variation display process (step 340 in FIG. 4) is set. There is only one type of stop symbol for detachment.

  Returning to FIG. 4, in step 330, based on the reach determination random number, special figure fluctuation pattern selection random number, special figure big hit fluctuation selection random number, etc. acquired in steps 30 to 50, the fluctuation display process (step 340 in FIG. 4). ) Is set. At this time, if the time is short, a variation pattern for time reduction is set. If the state is a high probability state, a variation pattern for the high probability state is set. Further, when the reach determination random number corresponds to reach, a variation pattern including reach is set. In addition, a variation pattern can be set according to whether or not the stop symbol is a big hit, the number of reserved memories, and whether or not the big hit stop symbol is a definite change.

  In step 340, a variable display process is performed as follows. First, the main control board 41 transmits a variation start command to the symbol control board 43. This variation start command corresponds to each variation pattern set in step 330. When receiving the variation start command, the symbol control board 43 starts the variation display of the first special symbol display device 31 or the second special symbol display device 32 according to the variation pattern set in the step 330.

  Next, the main control board 41 performs symbol control for the big hit stop symbol command corresponding to the big hit stop symbol determined in the step 520 or the outage stop symbol command corresponding to the outage stop symbol determined in the step 530. Transmit to the substrate 43. The symbol control board 43 corresponds to the command received from the main control board 41 (a jackpot stop symbol command or a stop symbol command for losing), so that the variable display is fixedly stopped at the stop symbol for big hit or the stop symbol for losing. Manage and control the fluctuation display.

  Next, the main control board 41 transmits a change stop command to the symbol control board 43 at the timing when the change pattern set in step 330 ends. When the symbol control board 43 receives the variable stop command, the symbol control board 43 receives the big hit stop symbol or the stop symbol for release corresponding to the stop signal command for big hit or the stop symbol command for release previously received from the main control board 41. Stop the fluctuation display.

In addition, when the winning start to the first starting port 17 or the first reserved memory is digested and the variation start process is performed, only the first special symbol display device 31 is used in the variation display process. Further, when the winning start to the second start opening 18 or the second reserved memory is digested and the variation start process is performed, only the second special symbol display device 32 is used in the variation display process.
(3) Jackpot Game Processing Next, the jackpot game processing will be described. The big hit game process is executed following the change start process when the big hit stop symbol is confirmed and displayed in the above-described change start process. The big hit game process is composed of a plurality of rounds, with one round from the opening of the big winning opening 25 to the closing. As described above, the number of rounds is set based on the jackpot symbol random number. During the big hit game process, the symbol display device 21 displays the contents shown in Table 2 as the round progresses. Here, the display is for a case where the number of rounds is 15.

Further, instead of the display shown in Table 2, the display shown in Table 3 may be performed.

“Assist game method” in Table 2 or Table 3 is to display predetermined contents according to 1 to 3 sets of assist effects set in the big hit random number determination process described above. Specifically, when the assist effect 1 is set, the assist display of M1a in Table 4 is performed, and when the assist effect 2 is set, the assist display of M2a is performed and the assist effect 3 is set. If it is, the M3a assist display is performed. In addition, when any (or all) of assist effects 1 to 3 is not set, display corresponding to the assist effects 1 to 3 is not performed.

In place of or in addition to the assist display of M1a, assist displays of M1b to M1c may be performed. Further, instead of or in addition to the assist display of M2a, assist displays of M2b to M2g may be performed. In place of or in addition to the assist display of M3a, assist displays of M3b to M3g may be performed.
3. Effect played by gaming machine 1 When gaming machine 1 is in a high-probability state or a short-time state, as a second reserved memory, a jackpot reserved memory that terminates the high-probability state (the jackpot symbol random number does not cause a probability fluctuation) When the jackpot holding memory, which is a thing, is hereinafter referred to as a normal jackpot holding memory) occurs (when NO is determined in step 150 or 190 in FIG. 3), the assist effect 2 is set and the jackpot game is set. At this time, an assist display of any one of M2a to M2g is performed, and the player is prompted to fire a game ball and store the first reserved memory. The player can advantageously play a game by firing a game ball and storing the first reserved memory in accordance with the assist display of M2a to M2g. This will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIGS. 7 and 8, Δ is a non-hit holding memory (outgoing holding memory), ○ is a normal jackpot holding memory, ◎ is a jackpot holding memory that causes a probability fluctuation (the jackpot symbol random number is a probability fluctuation) Represents a big hit holding memory (hereinafter referred to as a probability change big hit holding memory), and x represents a state where there is no holding memory. The numbers in Δ, ○, and ◎ are the order in which the reserved memory is stored in the first reserved memory or the second reserved memory. In the column of “pending transition” in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first holding memory is described in the upper row, and the second holding memory is described in the lower row.

  In the example of FIGS. 7 and 8, first, the gaming machine 1 is in a high probability state by digesting the second stored memory, which is the stored memory per probability variation big number 5. In this state, when a normal big hit holding memory number 9 is generated in the second holding memory, an assist display of M2a to M2g is performed during the big hit game.

  When the player fires a game ball in accordance with the assist display and wins the first start port 17, the first reserved memory is stored. In the high probability state, the ordinary electric accessory 19 is opened, and the game ball can easily enter the first start port 17. As described above, since the first reserved memory is digested in preference to the second reserved memory, only the first reserved memory repeats storage and digestion while the first reserved memory exists.

  In the example of FIG. 7, while the first reserved memory exists, the first reserved memory, which is the normal big hit reserved memory of number 5, is digested, and then the first reserved memory disappears. The second jackpot memory, number 9, the normal jackpot reserved memory is digested. Further, in the example of FIG. 8, while the first reserved memory exists, the first reserved memory, which is the probability storage big hit number 5 is digested, and then the first reserved memory disappears. From this, the second jackpot memory, the normal jackpot reserved memory of number 9, is digested.

  Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to digest at least one jackpot holding memory of each of the first holding memory and the second holding memory and continuously generate jackpots. In particular, in the case of FIG. 8, the high probability state can be continued by digesting the reserved memory for the probable big hit, which is the first reserved memory.

  On the other hand, when the assist display is not performed, the result is as shown in FIG. In other words, by digesting the reserved memory of the probability change jackpot of No. 5, which is the second reserved memory, in the state where the gaming machine 1 is in a high probability state, in the second reserved memory, the normal jackpot of No. 9 Even if the on-hold storage occurs, the assist display of M2a to M2g is not performed. For this reason, the player may not be aware that there is a normal jackpot hold memory in the second hold memory, and may stop the game ball firing. Then, after all the first reserved memory is digested, the normal jackpot reserved memory of the second reserved memory is digested, and the high probability state ends.

4). Modified Example (1) Big Hit Random Number Judgment Process of Modified Example The big hit random number judging process may be the one shown in FIG. 10 instead of the one shown in FIG. This jackpot random number determination process will be described. Note that the gaming machine 1 according to the modification is the same as the gaming machine 1 described above except for the big hit random number determination process.

  In step 610, it is determined whether or not the second reserved memory (non-priority reserved memory) is stored by winning a game ball. When the second reserved memory is stored, the process proceeds to step 620, and when the second reserved memory is not stored, the present process is terminated.

In step 620, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine 1 is in a high probability state. When it is not in the high probability state, the process proceeds to step 630, and when it is in the high probability state, this process is terminated.
In step 630, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine 1 is short in time. If the time is not short, the process proceeds to step 640. If the time is short, the process ends.

In step 640, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine 1 is in a big hit game. If the big hit game is not being played, the process proceeds to step 650, and if the big hit game is being played, the present process is terminated.
In step 650, it is determined whether or not a full tank display to be described later has already been made. If the full tank display has not been performed yet, the process proceeds to step 660, and if the full tank display has already been performed, the process proceeds to step 690.

  In step 660, whether or not the newly stored reserved memory is a jackpot reserved memory (that is, whether the jackpot random number acquired in step 10 is a value (3, 7) that is a jackpot even in a low probability state) Or not). If YES, the process proceeds to step 670, and if NO, this process ends.

  In step 670, it is determined whether or not the newly stored reserved memory is a stored memory per probability variation. If it is the reserved storage for the probable big hit, the process proceeds to step 680. On the other hand, in the case of a normal big hit holding storage, this processing is terminated.

  In step 680, a display (full tank display) that prompts the player to launch the game ball is performed on the symbol display device 21 so that the number of the second reserved storage reaches the upper limit. This display is performed until the variable display is finished (until just before the big hit game is started), which is performed by digesting the stored memory for the probable big hit.

  If it is determined in step 650 that a full tank display has already been made, the process proceeds to step 690, where a newly stored reserved memory is a determination value (high probability jackpot determination value) that is a big hit in a high probability state, That is, do you have any of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39? Judge whether or not. If it has a high probability jackpot determination value, the process proceeds to step 700, and if it does not have a high probability jackpot determination value, the process ends.

  In step 700, it is determined whether or not the newly stored reserved memory is a stored memory per probability variation. If it is normally a big hit hold memory, the process proceeds to step 710. On the other hand, if it is a pending storage for probability variation big hit, this processing is terminated.

In step 710, assist display is started. The display content is the same as the assist display of M2a to M2g described above. This display continues until the normal jackpot reserved memory stored after the full tank display is consumed. The assist display may be performed after the number of the second reserved storage reaches the upper limit.
(2) Effects of the gaming machine 1 according to the modified example As a second reserved memory, there is a stored memory for the probability variation jackpot, and in a state where a high probability state is predicted, after the stored memory for the probability variation jackpot, If there is a normal jackpot reserved memory as the second reserved memory, as it is, after the digest memory of the probability variation jackpot is digested to become a high probability state, the normal jackpot reserved memory is digested and the high probability state is It ends.

  In this modification, when the reserved memory per probability variation is detected by pre-reading (when it is determined YES in step 670), the full display that prompts the storage number of the second reserved memory to reach the upper limit is performed ( Step 680). Thereafter, in response to the full tank display, the player fires a game ball, and in the second reserved memory, if there is a normal big hit reserved memory after the probability variable big hit reserved memory (YES in step 690 is determined). If NO is determined in step 700), M2a to M2g assist display is performed (step 710).

  When the player fires a game ball in accordance with the assist display, by repeating the storage and digestion of only the first reserved memory before digesting the normally held jackpot stored memory, which is the second reserved memory, At least one jackpot holding memory of each of the first holding memory and the second holding memory can be digested and the jackpot can be continuously generated.

  In this modification, the timing for transmitting a command for performing various displays from the main control board 41 can be any time during a big hit game, neither a high probability state nor a short time. Therefore, it is possible to cope with a rule that prohibits transmission of a command from the main control board 41 during a big hit game, a high probability state, and a short time.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, and it cannot be overemphasized that it can implement with a various aspect in the range which does not deviate from this invention.
