  Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the rotary valve 19 is in the second distribution state, the game ball that has entered from the entrance 13a flows down the pre-distribution flow path 16 to guide the distribution. When flowing down to the path 17, a game ball enters between the sorting member 19 a and the sorting member 19 c in the rotary valve 19. Then, the rotation valve 19 rotates counterclockwise when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front due to the weight of the game ball.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the rotary valve 19 is displaced to the first distribution state. Then, the game balls are distributed to the first distribution flow path 18a and discharged from the first discharge port 13b. Thereafter, the game ball discharged from the first discharge port 13 b enters the first start ball entering device 14. Therefore, the distribution of the game balls to the first distribution flow path 18 a by the rotary valve 19 corresponds to the distribution of the game balls that have entered the distribution device 13 to the first start ball entering device 14.

  As described above, when a game ball enters the sorting device 13, the game ball is alternately distributed to the first start ball entering device 14 and the non-variable second start ball entering device 15. That is, when a game ball is entered into the sorting device 13, control based on entering the first start ball entering device 14 and control based on entering the non-variable second start ball entering device 15 Are alternately performed.

Next, display of decorative symbols on the effect display device 11 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5A, the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 indicating decorative symbols are images indicating the decorative symbols in the left column, the middle column, and the right column, respectively. The decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 are composed of a main symbol Mg and a sub symbol Sg indicating numbers [1] to [8] for distinguishing the decorative symbols. For example, in the decorative symbol indicating the number [1], the main symbol Mg imitating [1] is arranged in the center, and the sub symbol Sg imitating [1] is smaller than the main symbol Mg in the upper left and lower right. It is shown by the arranged decorative design image. The sub-symbol Sg may be displayed with a predetermined operation or may be displayed without the predetermined operation. “Predetermined motion” means rotating, swinging up and down, left and right, and deforming. In the present embodiment, both the main symbol Mg and the sub symbol Sg are images indicating numbers, but either or both of the main symbol Mg and the sub symbol Sg may be images indicating characters or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 are displayed so as to overlap the front surface of the background image Hg.
As shown in FIG. 5 (b), in the effect display device 11 when the demonstration effect is being performed, the decorative symbols in each column that are confirmed and stopped in the decorative symbol variation game executed immediately before the start of the demonstration effect are displayed. While stopped and displayed, the sub-symbol Sg constituting each of the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 is displayed with a predetermined operation. In this way, in the demonstration effect, the variation of the symbol sequence that has stopped varying in the immediately preceding decorative symbol variation game continues to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, in the effect display device 11 when the inter-game interval is set, each column of the fixed stop display in the decorative symbol variation game executed immediately before the inter-game interval is set. While the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, the sub-symbols Sg constituting the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 are displayed without a predetermined operation. As described above, when the inter-game interval is set, the variation of the symbol sequence that has stopped varying in the immediately preceding decorative symbol variation game continues to stop.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to generate a high-probability lottery state. When the high probability lottery state is generated, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is higher than when the high probability lottery state is not generated. The high probability lottery state is continuously generated until the end condition of the high probability lottery state is satisfied. The “high probability lottery state end condition” of the present embodiment is that “the execution of the high-definition special symbol variation game ends without winning the big hit lottery after the high probability lottery state has occurred” or “high It is established by the fact that a big hit game is generated between the occurrence of the probability lottery state and the end of execution of the high-definition special symbol variation game. When the high probability lottery state has not occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. Further, when the high probability lottery state has occurred, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to cause a variable time reduction state. The variation time shortening state of the present embodiment is a state having at least one change among the first change to the fourth change. When the variation time shortening state is generated, at least one of the first to fourth changes occurs as compared with the case where the variation time shortening state is not generated.

  The first change is that the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shorter when the variation time reduction state is generated than when the variation time reduction state is not generated. The second change is that when the variation time shortening state is generated, the probability of winning the normal lottery is higher than when the variation time shortening state is not generated. The third change is that, when the variable time shortening state is generated, the variable second starting and entering device 21 is opened in one normal hit game, compared to when the variable time shortening state is not generated. Opportunities (number of times and time) increase. The fourth change is that the variation time of the special symbol variation game is likely to be shorter when the variation time reduction state is generated than when the variation time reduction state is not generated.

  Incidentally, when having at least one change among the first change to the third change, when the variable time shortening state is generated, it is variable per unit time when the variable time shortening state is not generated. Opportunities (number of times and time) when the second starting and entering device 21 is opened are increased. Therefore, in the variation time shortening state having at least one change among the first change to the third change, the probability that the game ball enters the variable second starting and entering device 21 is higher than usual. It can be said that the sphere rate is improved.

  In the case of having the fourth change, the number of special symbol variation games executed per unit time is greater when the variation time reduction state is occurring than when the variation time reduction state is not occurring. The special symbol variation game can be executed easily and efficiently. Naturally, even when at least one of the first change to the third change is included, the variable second time is more variable when the variable time reduction state is generated than when the variable time reduction state is not generated. Since it becomes easy to enter the game ball into the start ball entering device 21, it is possible to efficiently execute the special symbol variation game. That is, the variation time shortening state having at least one of the first to fourth changes can be said to be an execution rate improvement state in which the special symbol variation game can be efficiently executed.

  The variation time shortening state is continuously generated until the termination condition of the variation time shortening state is satisfied. The “variation time shortening state end condition” of the present embodiment is “the execution of the special symbol variation game with a reduced number of times is completed without winning the big win lottery after the variation time shortening state occurs” or “variation time This is established by the occurrence of a big hit game between the occurrence of the shortened state and the end of execution of the special symbol variation game with the reduced number of times.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the types of jackpots that can be determined at the time of winning are different between the first jackpot lottery and the second jackpot lottery. Here, the types of jackpots that can be determined when each jackpot lottery is won will be described.

First, based on FIG. 6, the types of jackpots determined when the first jackpot lottery is won will be described.
When the first big hit lottery is won, the normal 16R specific big hit, the first 4R specific big hit, the second 4R specific big hit, the third 4R specific big hit, the first 4R non-specific big hit, the second 4R The type of jackpot is determined from the unspecified jackpot and the third 4R unspecified jackpot. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first big hit lottery is won, the normal 4R specific big hit with a probability of 14%, the first 4R specific big win with a probability of 16%, and the second 4R specific with a probability of 22% A third 4R specific jackpot is determined with a probability of 25%. Also, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first big hit lottery is won, the first 4R non-specific big hit with a probability of 18% and the second 4R non-specific big hit with a probability of 4% with a probability of 1%. 3 4R unspecified big hits are determined.

  Normally, when a big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit is generated, 16 open games are performed. Normally, in all open games in the big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit, the big winning device 23 is in an open state until the open game is finished. In addition, a high probability lottery state is generated after the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit. In addition, after the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit, the variable time reduced state is generated regardless of whether the variable time reduced state is generated or not when the big hit lottery is won.

  When a big hit game based on the first 4R specific big hit to the third 4R specific big hit and the first 4R non-specific big hit to the third 4R non-specific big hit is generated, four open games are performed. In all the open games in the big hit games based on the first 4R specific big hit to the third 4R specific big hit and the first 4R non-specific big hit to the third 4R non-specific big hit, until the open game ends, The winning device 23 is opened.

  In addition, after the jackpot game based on the first 4R specific jackpot to the third 4R specific jackpot ends, a high probability lottery state is generated. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game based on the first 4R non-specific big hit to the third 4R non-special big hit, a high probability lottery state is not generated (in the drawing, indicated as “non-occurring”).

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the first 4R specific big hit to the third 4R specific big hit and the first 4R non-specific big hit to the third 4R non-special big hit, a variation time reduction state occurs when the big hit lottery is won. If not, the fluctuation time shortening state is not generated (indicated as “non-occurrence” in the drawing). On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the first 4R specific big hit to the third 4R specific big hit and the first 4R non-specific big hit to the third 4R non-special big hit, a variation time reduction state occurs when the big hit lottery is won. If so, a state of shortening the variation time is generated. The difference between the first 4R specific big hit to the third 4R specific big hit and the difference between the first 4R non-specific big hit to the third 4R non-specific big hit will be described later.

Next, based on FIG. 7, the type of jackpot determined when the second jackpot lottery is won will be described.
When the second big hit lottery is won, the normal 16R special big win, the first special 16R special big win, the second special 16R special big win, the first 16R non-specific big hit, the second 16R non-specific big win and the second The type of jackpot is determined from among the three 16R non-specific jackpots. By the way, in the pachinko machine 10, when the second big hit lottery is won, the normal special 16R big hit with a probability of 19%, the first special 16R special big hit with a probability of 35%, the second special with a probability of 23% A 16R specific big hit, a first 16R non-specific big hit with a probability of 18%, a second 16R non-specific big hit with a probability of 1%, and a third 16R non-specific big hit with a probability of 4% are determined.

  When a big hit game based on the first special 16R special big hit, the second special 16R special big hit, and the first 16R non-specific big hit to the third 16R non-specific big hit is generated, 16 open games are performed. In all open games in the jackpot game based on the first special 16R special jackpot, the second special 16R special jackpot, and the first 16R non-special jackpot to the third 16R non-special jackpot, until the open game ends. Then, the big winning device 23 is opened.

  Further, after the big hit game based on the first special 16R specific big hit and the second special 16R specific big hit, the high probability lottery state is generated. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the first 16R non-specific big hit to the third 16R non-special big hit, the high probability lottery state is not generated. In addition, after the jackpot game based on the first special 16R special jackpot and the second special 16R special jackpot is over, if neither the high-probability lottery state nor the variable time reduction state has occurred at the time of the big hit lottery, the variation time A shortened state does not occur. On the other hand, after the jackpot game based on the first special 16R special jackpot and the second special 16R special jackpot is over, if at least one of the high-probability lottery state and the variable time reduction state has occurred at the time of the big jackpot lottery, A variation time shortening state occurs.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the first 16R non-specific big hit to the third 16R non-special big hit, if the variable time shortening state is not generated at the time of the big hit lottery winning, the variable time shortening state is not generated. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the first 16R non-specific big hit to the third 16R non-special big hit, if the variable time shortened state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery winning, the variable time reduced state is generated. Differences between the normal 16R specific big hit, the first special 16R specific big hit, the second special 16R specific big hit, and the first 16R non-specific big hit to the third 16R non-specific big hit will be described later.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the probability of determining the type of jackpot that will win the first jackpot lottery and the high probability lottery state will occur after the jackpot game ends is won in the second jackpot lottery. Thus, the probability is the same as the probability of determining the type of jackpot probability that causes a high probability lottery state after the jackpot game ends. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the probability that the variation time shortened state will occur after the big hit game ends is higher when the second big hit lottery is won than when the first big hit lottery is won. Also, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of open games during the big hit game is more likely to be won if the second big hit lottery is won than the first big hit lottery. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the specified time set for all open games in all types of jackpot games is the same time. For this reason, the number of winning balls that can be expected to be acquired is more likely to be greater when the second big hit lottery is won than when the first big hit lottery is won. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is easier to determine a type of jackpot that is more advantageous to the player if the second jackpot lottery is won than the first jackpot lottery.

Next, the types of small hits will be described with reference to FIG.
If you win a lottery lottery, you can choose any one of the following types: 1st small hit, 2nd small hit, 3rd small hit, 4th small hit, 5th small hit, and 6th small hit Small hits are determined. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, regardless of which of the first small hit lottery and the second small hit lottery, the type of the small hit is determined with the same probability. By the way, in the pachinko machine 10, when winning the small lottery, the first small hit with a probability of 23%, the second small hit with a probability of 19%, the third small hit with a probability of 7%, 7 The fourth small hit is determined with the probability of%, the fifth small hit with the probability of 11%, and the sixth small hit with the probability of 33%.

  When a small hit game based on the first small hit to the sixth small hit is generated, the big winning device 23 is in an open state and a closed state in a predetermined manner. In the small hit game based on the first small hit to the sixth small hit, the open state and the closed state of the big winning device 23 are set to be the same. In addition, in the small hit game based on the first small hit to the sixth small hit, the open state and the closed state of the big winning device 23 are controlled in a predetermined manner, or in a predetermined manner. The small hit game is terminated when a predetermined number of game balls have entered the big winning device 23 before the open and closed states of the big winning device 23 are controlled.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the gaming state is not changed in response to winning the small hitting lottery (in the drawing, indicated as “maintain”). Therefore, when a small hit game is generated when the high probability lottery state is being generated, the high probability lottery state is continuously generated even after the small hit game is over. In addition, when a small hit game is generated when the high probability lottery state is not generated, the high probability lottery state is not generated even after the small hit game ends. Similarly, if a small hit game is generated while the variable time shortening state is occurring, the variable time shortening state continues to be generated even after the small hit game ends. In addition, when a small hit game is generated when the variable time shortening state is not generated, the variable time shortening state is not generated even after the small hit game ends. Further, during the occurrence of the small hit game, the game state before the occurrence of the small hit game is continuously set. The difference between the first small hit and the sixth small hit will be described later.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the gaming state can be changed with the winning of the big hit lottery, while the gaming state cannot be changed with the winning of the small hit lottery.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is easy to allow a prescribed number of game balls to enter the grand prize winning device 23 during the prescribed time during which the big prize winning device 23 is in an open state in one open game during the big hit game. It is determined by time (for example, 20 seconds or more). On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the time during which the big winning device 23 is open during the small hit game is a time during which it is difficult for a predetermined number of game balls to enter the big winning device 23 (for example, 6 seconds). Stipulated below) Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the time for which the big winning device 23 is open during the small hit game is a time during which even one gaming ball is difficult to enter the big winning device 23 (for example, 0 .6 seconds or less). That is, it is not assumed that a prize ball is given to the player by giving a small hit game, and it is not assumed that the number of game balls owned by the player before and after the small hit game is increased. In the big hit game, the number of prize balls that the player can expect to acquire is larger than that in the small hit game.

  As described above, the upper limit time for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the big hit game of the present embodiment is longer than the upper limit time for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the small hit game. That is, the upper limit time for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the small hit game is shorter than the upper limit time for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the big hit game. In this embodiment, the big hit corresponds to the first hit, and the small hit corresponds to the second hit. In this embodiment, the big hit game corresponds to a win game based on the first hit, and the small hit game corresponds to a hit game based on the second hit.

  Note that the length of the upper limit time for which the big winning device 23 is open in the big hit game does not depend on the length of the specified time. For example, even if the specified time is the same, the length of the upper limit time naturally changes depending on the number of times the specified time is set (the number of open games). Therefore, the length of the upper limit time during which the big winning device 23 is opened in the big hit game is not limited to the length set as the prescribed time, but is derived by the number of times the prescribed time is set during the big hit game. It is.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine installation facility in which the pachinko gaming machine 10 is installed includes a gaming information notification device 100 as an external device so as to be positioned above the pachinko gaming machine 10 arranged in the gaming machine installation facility. Is disposed. The game information notification device 100 is disposed at a position where the player can visually recognize the game information.

  The game information notification device 100 includes a state notification unit 101. In addition, the game information notification device 100 includes a hit count notification unit 102. In addition, the game information notification device 100 includes a game number notification unit 103. The game information notification device 100 includes an error notification unit 104. Further, the game information notification device 100 includes a notification device CPU that controls the state notification unit 101, the winning number notification unit 102, the game number notification unit 103, and the error notification unit 104. The game information notifying device 100 has a notifying device ROM for storing a control program for the notifying device CPU and a notifying device RAM capable of writing and reading necessary data.

  In addition, the game information notification device 100 has an input terminal through which various control signals output from the pachinko gaming machine 10 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be input. Then, the notification device CPU is based on various control signals output from the pachinko gaming machine 10 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a state notification unit 101, a winning number notification unit 102, a game number notification unit 103, and an error notification unit. 104 is controlled. In addition, the specific description regarding control of the state alerting | reporting part 101, the winning number alert | report part 102, the game frequency alerting part 103, and the error alerting part 104 is mentioned later.

  In addition to the game information notification device 100, external devices include a hall computer installed at a position (place) where a player cannot visually recognize, such as a game room management room. The hall computer has an input terminal through which various control signals output from the pachinko gaming machine 10 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be input.

Next, based on FIG. 9, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
A main control board 30 as a main control unit is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes and outputs various control commands according to the processing results. In addition, on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, an effect control board 31 as a sub-control unit is mounted. The effect control board 31 is based on the control command output from the main control board 30, the display mode of the effect display device 11 (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.), the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, and the sound of the speaker Sp. Control the output mode.

  A payout device 40 for paying out game balls as prize balls is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The payout device 40 is provided with a payout CPU that controls payout of game balls, a payout ROM that stores a control program for the payout CPU, and a payout RAM that can write and read necessary data.

  An external terminal board 50 is attached to the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The external terminal plate 50 is provided with nine output terminals, a first output terminal GT1 to a ninth output terminal GT9. A control signal (information) instructed by the main control CPU 30a is connected to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 by connecting the input terminals of external devices such as the game information notification device 100 and the hall computer to the output terminals GT1 to GT9. Is output. In the external device, information on the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be acquired.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, the main control board 30 will be described with reference to FIG.
The main control board 30 includes a main control CPU 30a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control RAM 30c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided.

  Various sensors SE1 to SE3, CS, GS, WS, JS, YS are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The various sensors SE1 to SE3, CS, and GS are connected to the main control CPU 30a so that the main control CPU 30a can input a detection signal output when a game ball is detected. The frame sensor WS is connected to the main control CPU 30a so that the main control CPU 30a can input an open detection signal output when it is detected that the middle frame Y2 or the front frame Y3 is opened. Further, the magnetic detection sensor JS is connected to the main control CPU 30a so that the main control CPU 30a can input a magnetic detection signal output when the magnetism of a predetermined strength or more is detected. The induction magnetic field detection sensor YS is connected to the main control CPU 30a so that the main control CPU 30a can input an induction magnetic field detection signal output when a radio wave having a frequency within a predetermined range is detected.

  Each special symbol display device 25a, 25b, each holding display device 26a, 26b, and the normal symbol display device 27 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. In addition, the main control CPU 30a is connected to the electric accessory solenoid SOL1 and the big prize solenoid SOL2.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a fluctuation pattern and a fluctuation pattern table. In the variation pattern table, a variation pattern that can be determined among a plurality of types of variation patterns and a determination rate of various variation patterns are defined. The variation pattern can specify the variation time from the start of the symbol variation game to the end of the symbol variation game. Further, the variation pattern can specify the content of the effect (variation content) of the effect performed by the effect display device 11, the decoration lamp La, and the speaker Sp.

  The variation patterns include a variation pattern for a big hit effect, a variation pattern for a small hit effect, and a variation pattern for a loss effect. The variation pattern for the big hit effect is a variation pattern determined at the time of the big hit. The variation pattern for the small hit effect is a variation pattern determined at the small hit. The variation pattern for the off-line effect is a variation pattern determined at the time of off-line. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, a variation pattern for an off-line effect may be determined even when a small hit is made.

  In the present embodiment, the variation pattern corresponds to variation information in which the variation time of the symbol variation game corresponding to the variation game is determined, and the variation pattern table corresponds to the variation information group. “Determining variation information from a variation information group” corresponds to determining a variation pattern with reference to a variation pattern table. In the present embodiment, the main control ROM 30b that stores the variation pattern functions as an information storage unit.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the big hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the big hit lottery. The number of jackpot determination values when the high probability lottery state is occurring is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when the high probability lottery state is not occurring.

  Further, the small hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery. The number of small hit determination values used in the first small hit lottery is larger than the number of small hit determination values used in the second small hit lottery. That is, the winning probability of the first small hitting lottery is set higher than the winning probability of the second small hitting lottery. Further, the small hit determination value is set to a value different from the big hit determination value. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the winning probability of the big hit lottery and the winning probability of the small hit lottery are determined so that the probability of winning the small hit lottery is higher than the probability of winning the big hit lottery.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the normal hit lottery. When the variation time shortening state of this embodiment is given, the probability of winning the normal lottery is higher than when the variation time shortening state is not given. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of normal hit determination values when the variation time reduction state is given is larger than the number of normal hit determination values when the variation time reduction state is not given. Yes.

  The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main high-accuracy flag indicating whether or not a high-probability lottery state is occurring. Further, the main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not the variation time shortening state is occurring. The main control RAM 30c stores table information that can specify the type of the variation pattern table to be referred to.

  In the main control board 30, various random numbers (numerical data and numerical information) used as hit determination random numbers, special symbol distribution random numbers, and variation pattern distribution random numbers are generated. Incidentally, the hit determination random number is a random number used for the big hit lottery or the small hit lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining the type of jackpot or the type of jackpot. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 has an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and an effect control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided.

  The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a. In addition, a decoration lamp La is connected to the CPU 31a for effect control. A speaker Sp is connected to the effect control CPU 31a.

The effect control ROM 31b stores various image display data (image data such as decorative symbols and background images), various light emission data, and various audio data.
Various information (random value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c. For example, the sub-high-accuracy flag indicating whether or not the high-probability lottery state is occurring is stored in the effect control RAM 31c. In addition, the effect control RAM 31c stores a sub-operation flag indicating whether or not the variation time reduction state is occurring.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the control program will be described. The main control CPU 30a executes various processes at predetermined control cycles.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal output from the first start sensor SE1, the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). Whether or not the first hold is determined. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the first hold memory number and rewrites the first hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold display device 26a so as to represent the first hold memory number after rewriting.

When the normal variation pattern table NP is referred to, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the normal effect mode. “When the normal variation pattern table NP is referred to” means, for example, after the end of the small hit game based on the first small hitting event triggered by the winning of the small hitting lottery when the variation time shortening state has not occurred Or, after the end of the occurrence of the reduced variation time state by executing the reduced number of symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game.

  Further, when the first special variation pattern table SP1 is referred to after the end of the winning game, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the first special effect mode. “When the first special variation pattern table SP1 is referred to after the winning game is ended” means, for example, the first 4R triggered by the winning of the first big hit lottery when the variation time reduction state is not generated After the jackpot game based on a specific jackpot.

  In addition, when the second special variation pattern table SP2 is referred to after the end of the winning game, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 to execute the second special effect mode. “When the second special variation pattern table SP2 is referred to after the winning game is ended” means, for example, the second 4R triggered by the winning of the first big hit lottery when the variation time reduction state has not occurred. After the jackpot game based on a specific jackpot.

  In addition, when the shortening variation pattern table TP is referred to after the winning game is ended, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the shortening effect mode. “The case where the shortening variation pattern table TP is referred to after the end of the winning game” means, for example, after the end of the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit.

  When the variation pattern table referred to when determining the variation pattern is different, the development of the effect according to the variation time of at least the symbol variation game is also different. Furthermore, when the effect itself executed for each variation pattern table is different, the development of the effect due to the effect of the symbol variation game is also different. Therefore, changing the referenced variation pattern table corresponds to changing the development of the effect. Further, even when the types of effect modes to be executed are different, naturally the development of the effects is different. Therefore, changing the effect mode to be executed corresponds to changing the development of the effect.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that determines the variation pattern with reference to the variation pattern table and controls the development of the effect functions as the effect development means. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that controls the development of the effect by controlling the execution of the effect mode functions as an effect expanding means. Moreover, in this embodiment, the effect display apparatus 11 which performs various effect modes functions as an effect mode execution means. Incidentally, in the case where the music to be output is different depending on the type of effect mode, the speaker Sp also functions as effect mode execution means. Further, when the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La differs depending on the type of the effect mode, the decoration lamp La also functions as the effect mode execution means.

Next, a description will be given of the control related to the hit effect during the occurrence of the big hit game or the small hit game.
First, the hit effect produced during the occurrence of the big hit game will be described.
When the big hit lottery is won when the fluctuation time shortening state is not occurring, during the occurrence of the big hit game triggered by the win, the presentation control CPU 31a notifies the type of the production mode to be executed after the big hit game is finished The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute the effect during the hit. By notifying the type of effect mode, the player can also be notified of the type of variation pattern table to be referenced.

  When the big hit lottery is won while the fluctuation time shortening state is occurring, the production control CPU 31a executes the hit production of the predetermined content during the occurrence of the big hit game triggered by the win. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled.

Next, a description will be given of the hit effect produced during the occurrence of the small hit game.
The main control CPU 30a wins the small hit lottery, and when the development of the effect (reference variation pattern table) is changed before and after the small hit game triggered by the win, the main control CPU 30a Determine the variation pattern. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern for the off-stage effect when the win-win lottery is won and the development of the effect is not changed before and after the small-hit game triggered by the win.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a executes the hit effect of the content for informing the type of effect mode executed after the end of the small hit game during the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern for the small hit effect. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. As a result, the type of the variation pattern table referred to after the small hit game is changed, and the type of the variation pattern table referred to is notified to the player.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 31a displays the ornamental symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 in the same manner as during the small game after the symbol variation game ends based on the variation pattern for the offending effect, during the inter-game interval. Controls the display content of.

Further, the third output terminal GT3 corresponds to an output means for outputting a control signal that is triggered by the occurrence of a big hit game as a win game.

  The fourth output terminal GT4 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output that a big hit game is occurring. The fourth output terminal GT4 corresponds to an output unit that outputs a control signal that triggers the occurrence of a big hit game as a win game.

  The fifth output terminal GT5 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output that a big hit game is occurring. Furthermore, the fifth output terminal GT5 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output that a small hit game in which the development of the effect is changed before and after the small hit game is occurring. In this way, the fifth output terminal GT5 corresponds to an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers an output when the development of the effect is changed before and after the hit game (small hit game) based on the second hit. To do. The fifth output terminal GT5 corresponds to an external signal output means, and the control signal output from the fifth output terminal GT5 corresponds to an external signal.

  The sixth output terminal GT6 is an output terminal from which a control signal is output that triggers an output when a game ball enters the start ball entering device 14, 15, or 21. The sixth output terminal GT6 corresponds to an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers the entry of a game ball into the start ball entry means.

  The seventh output terminal GT7 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output when the special symbol variation game is completed. The seventh output terminal GT7 corresponds to an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers an output when the variable game ends.

The eighth output terminal GT8 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output when the unit number of game balls has been paid out.
The ninth output terminal GT9 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output when an illegal act is performed. The ninth output terminal GT9 corresponds to an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers an output of an illegal act on the gaming machine. In addition, although it is shown that “an illegal act has been performed”, there is a situation in which an illegal act is actually performed, and there is a situation in which an illegal act such as a situation in which an illegal activity is performed is not performed.

Here, processing related to output of a control signal from the first output terminal GT1 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the first output terminal GT1 when the opening detection signal from the frame sensor WS is input. The main control CPU 30a continues to input an opening detection signal from the frame sensor WS while the front frame Y3 or the middle frame Y2 is kept open, but with a predetermined interval, a control signal from the first output terminal GT1. Continue to be output.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the second output terminal GT2 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the second output terminal GT2 when the unit number payout signal from the payout device 40 is input.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the third output terminal GT3 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the third output terminal GT3 during the occurrence of the big hit game. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 with a predetermined interval while the big hit game is occurring. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the third output terminal GT3 during the occurrence of the variation time shortening state. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 at a predetermined interval while the variation time reduction state is occurring.

  For this reason, when the control signal is not input even after a predetermined interval from the input of the control signal from the third output terminal GT3, it can be recognized by the external device that the big hit game or the variable time shortening state has ended. In general, a state where the big hit game and the occurrence of the variable time reduction state are alternately repeated is referred to as a “long villa state”. Therefore, while the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 is continuously input at a predetermined interval, it can be recognized by the external device that it is in the extended state. In other words, when the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 is input and then the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 is input with an interval longer than a predetermined interval, the extended state is started. Can be recognized by an external device.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 during the occurrence of the big hit game. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 at a predetermined interval while the big hit game is occurring. For this reason, when a control signal is not input even after a predetermined interval has passed after the control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 is input, it can be recognized by the external device that the big hit game has ended. In other words, if a control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 is input after the input of the control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 and the control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 is input after an interval longer than a predetermined interval, a new big hit game is generated. Can be recognized by an external device.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the big hit game. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 at a predetermined interval while the big hit game is occurring. Further, when the development of the effect is changed before and after the small hit game, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the small hit game. When the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the small hit game, the main output CPU 30a has a predetermined interval while the small hit game is being generated. The control signal is continuously output from GT5.

  For this reason, when a control signal is not input even after a predetermined interval has passed after the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 is input, it can be recognized by the external device that the big hit game or the small hit game has ended. . In other words, when a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 is input after the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 is input, and a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 is input. An external device can recognize that a game has occurred. Incidentally, the “small hit game that can be recognized as being generated by an external device” refers to a small hit game in which the development of the production is changed before and after the small hit game.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the sixth output terminal GT6 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the sixth output terminal GT6 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 when the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input. The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the sixth output terminal GT6 when the detection signal from the non-variable second start sensor SE2 is input. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the sixth output terminal GT6 when the detection signal from the variable second start sensor SE3 is input.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the seventh output terminal GT7 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the seventh output terminal GT7 when the first special symbol game is finished. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the seventh output terminal GT7 when the second special symbol variation game is finished.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the eighth output terminal GT8 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1, the main control CPU 30a adds the number of prize balls determined in the first start ball entering device 14 to the expected number of prize balls stored in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the award ball number information is rewritten. Similarly, when the detection signal from the non-variable second start sensor SE2 is input, the main control CPU 30a adds the award ball number determined in the non-variable second start ball entering device 15 to the award ball planned number information. . Further, when the detection signal from the variable second start sensor SE3 is input, the main control CPU 30a adds the number of prize balls determined in the variable second start ball entering device 21 to the planned prize ball number information. Further, when the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal from the count sensor CS, the main control CPU 30a adds the number of winning balls determined in the big winning device 23 to the expected winning ball number information. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the eighth output terminal GT8 when the added number of award ball information exceeds the unit number. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the eighth output terminal GT8 when the payout of the unit number of game balls is decided.

  Further, when the control signal is output from the eighth output terminal GT8, the main control CPU 30a subtracts the unit number from the award ball planned number information. Incidentally, the “unit number” that triggers the output of the unit number payout signal by the payout device 40 and the “unit number” that triggers the output of the control signal from the eighth output terminal GT8 may be the same number, It may be a different number.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the ninth output terminal GT9 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a causes a control signal to be output from the ninth output terminal GT9 when an illegal act is performed on the pachinko gaming machine 10. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the ninth output terminal GT9 when a magnetic detection signal from the magnetic detection sensor JS is input. At this time, a control signal is output from the ninth output terminal GT9 due to the magnet or the like being brought close to the pachinko gaming machine 10, but there are situations where an illegal act is actually performed, or before the illegal act is performed. There may be a certain situation or a situation where a magnet or the like has approached the pachinko gaming machine 10 unintentionally without aiming to perform an illegal act.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the ninth output terminal GT9 when the induction magnetic field detection signal from the induction magnetic field detection sensor YS is input. At this time, a control signal is output from the ninth output terminal GT9 due to the radio wave being transmitted to the pachinko gaming machine 10. However, there is a situation where an illegal act is actually performed, and before the illegal act is performed. It is also possible to have a situation where a radio wave not intended for fraudulent activity is detected.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a receives a control signal from the ninth output terminal GT9 when the detection signal from the variable second start sensor SE3 is input when the variable second start and landing device 21 is in the closed state. Is output. At this time, if there is a situation in which a game ball is caused to enter the variable second start ball entering apparatus 21 by opening the variable second start ball entering apparatus 21 by somebody, the game ball is opened and closed by the opening / closing member 22. It is also conceivable that the game ball enters the variable second start ball entering device 21 without being closed due to being pinched between the two.

  Incidentally, the main control CPU 30a inputs a detection signal from the variable second start sensor SE3 until the allowable time elapses after the variable second start ball entering device 21 switches from the open state to the closed state. However, the control signal is not output from the ninth output terminal GT9. The permissible time is such that the game ball entered when the variable second start ball entering device 21 is in the open state is the variable second start sensor SE3 after the variable second start ball entering device 21 is in the closed state. It is set for the purpose of preventing it from being judged that “an illegal act has been performed”.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the ninth output terminal GT9 when the detection signal from the count sensor CS is input when the special winning device 23 is in the closed state. At this time, there is a situation in which a game ball is made to enter the grand prize-winning device 23 by opening the grand prize-winning device 23 by somebody, or the game ball is put in a closed state by being pinched by a big prize-winning door. A situation in which a game ball enters the big winning device 23 is also conceivable.

  Incidentally, even if the main control CPU 30a inputs the detection signal from the count sensor CS until the allowable time elapses after the grand prize winning device 23 switches from the open state to the closed state, the main control CPU 30a receives the signal from the ninth output terminal GT9. Do not output control signals. This allowable time is determined when the game ball entered when the grand prize winning device 23 is in the open state is detected by the count sensor CS after the grand prize winning device 23 is in the closed state. It is set for the purpose of preventing it from being judged as “defeated”.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that controls the control signals from the first output terminal GT1 to the ninth output terminal GT9 as output means functions as a signal output control means and a control device. Further, the main control CPU 30a that generates the control signal to output the control signal functions as a signal generation unit. The main control CPU 30a that controls a control signal (external signal) from the fifth output terminal GT5 functions as an external signal output control means.

Next, based on a control signal output to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10, control performed by an external device will be described.
First, the case where the input terminal of the game information notification device 100 and the output terminal provided on the external terminal board 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 are connected by wiring will be described.

  The first output terminal GT1, the third output terminal GT3, the fifth output terminal GT5, the seventh output terminal GT7 and the ninth output provided on the input terminal of the game information notification device 100 and the external terminal plate 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 10. It is assumed that the terminal GT9 is connected by wiring.

  When the control device CPU receives the control signal from the third output terminal GT3, the notification device CPU controls the light emission of the state notification unit 101 to blink the state notification unit 101. Thereby, it can alert | report to the person who visually recognized that the state alerting | reporting part 101 was blinking that it was a consecutive resort state.

  The notification device CPU updates the number of hits notified by the hit number notification unit 102 when the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 is input. Specifically, when the control signal is input from the fifth output terminal GT5 with an interval longer than a predetermined interval, the notification device CPU updates the number of hits counted in the notification device RAM by one. . Then, the notification device CPU controls the display content of the winning number notification unit 102 so as to display a number indicating the number of winning times. Thereby, it is possible to notify the number of times that the winning game is given to the person who visually recognizes the display content of the winning number notification unit 102.

  The notification device CPU updates the number of games notified by the game number notification unit 103 when a control signal is input from the seventh output terminal GT7. Specifically, when a control signal is input from the seventh output terminal GT7, the notification device CPU updates the number of games counted in the notification device RAM by one. Then, the notification device CPU controls the display content of the game number notification unit 103 so as to display the number indicating the number of games. The notification device CPU resets the number of games in the notification device RAM when updating the number of hits. Thereby, it is possible to notify the person who has visually recognized the display contents of the game number notification unit 103 how many times the symbol variation game has been executed since the end of the winning game.

  Further, the notification device CPU controls the light emission of the error notification unit 104 so that the error notification unit 104 blinks when the control signal from the ninth output terminal GT9 is input. Thereby, it is possible to notify a person who has visually confirmed that the error notification unit 104 is blinking that an illegal act has been performed on the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Incidentally, when the input terminal of the game information notification device 100 and the eighth output terminal GT8 are connected by wiring, the number of game balls to be paid out can be immediately notified to the player. Even when the input terminal of the game information notification device 100 and the second output terminal GT2 are connected by wiring, it is possible to notify the player of the number of game balls to be paid out. If the game balls are not paid out, the notification of the number of game balls to be paid out may be delayed. Therefore, it is possible to notify the player of the number of game balls to be immediately paid out when the wiring is connected to the eighth output terminal GT8 than when the second output terminal GT2 is connected to the wiring.

Next, the case where the input terminal of the hall computer and the output terminal provided on the external terminal board 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 are connected by wiring will be described.
An input terminal of the hall computer and a first output terminal GT1, a second output terminal GT2, a fourth output terminal GT4, a sixth output terminal GT6, a seventh output terminal GT7 provided on the external terminal board 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and It is assumed that the ninth output terminal GT9 is connected by wiring.

  By connecting the input terminal of the hall computer to the first output terminal GT1, it is possible to specify that the front frame Y3 or the middle frame Y2 is opened by the hall computer. Further, by connecting the input terminal of the hall computer to the second output terminal GT2, the number of game balls actually paid out to the player can be specified by the hall computer.

  In addition, by connecting the input terminal of the hall computer to the fourth output terminal GT4, it is possible to specify the number of times that a big hit game in which a winning ball is expected to be generated has occurred in the hall computer. Further, by connecting the input terminal of the hall computer and the sixth output terminal GT6 by wiring, it is possible to specify the number of game balls that have entered the starting and entering devices 14, 15, and 21 by the hall computer.

Further, by connecting the input terminal of the hall computer to the ninth output terminal GT9, it is possible to specify that the fraudulent act has been performed in the hall computer.
In addition, by connecting the input terminal of the hall computer to the seventh output terminal GT7, it is possible to specify the number of special symbol variation games executed by the hall computer. Further, based on the control signals output from the fourth output terminal GT4 and the seventh output terminal GT7, it is possible to calculate the probability that a big hit game will occur in the hall computer. Furthermore, based on the control signals output from the sixth output terminal GT6 and the seventh output terminal GT7, the hall computer executes the number of game balls that have entered the starting and entering devices 14, 15, and 21. It is possible to calculate the ratio of the number of special symbol variation games.

Here, the output mode of the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b).
As shown in FIG. 12A, when the high probability lottery state and the variation time shortening state are not generated, the normal variation pattern table NP is referred to and the first performance mode is being executed. Suppose that a small hit game based on the small hit of the game has occurred. In this case, since the development of the production is not changed before and after the small hit game, the symbol variation game to be won in the small hit lottery is based on the variation pattern for the off-direction production determined with reference to the normal variation pattern table NP. Executed. Further, during the occurrence of the small hit game, the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 are displayed in the same manner as during the inter-game interval. Further, since the development of the effect is not changed before and after the small hit game, the control signal is not output from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the small hit game (shown as “no output” in the drawing). For this reason, the number of hits displayed by the hit number notification unit 102 of the game information notification device 100 does not increase.

  Thereafter, it is assumed that a jackpot game based on the second 4R specific jackpot is generated. In this case, since the big hit game has occurred, a control signal is output from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the big hit game (shown as “with output” in the drawing). Thereby, the number of hits displayed by the hit number notification unit 102 of the game information notification device 100 increases.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the second 4R specific big hit is finished, a game state in which the high probability lottery state is generated but the variable time shortening state is not generated. Further, after the jackpot game based on the second 4R specific jackpot is over, the second special variation pattern table SP2 is referred to and the second special effect mode is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, when the high-probability lottery state and the variation time reduction state have not occurred, the normal variation pattern table NP is referred to and the third production mode is being executed. Suppose that a small hit game based on the small hit of the game has occurred. In this case, since the development of the effect is changed before and after the small hit game, the variation pattern for the small hit effect determined by referring to the normal variation pattern table NP is used for the symbol variation game to be won in the small hit lottery. It is executed based on. Further, during the occurrence of the small hit game, a hit effect of the content indicating the first special effect mode executed after the end of the small hit game is executed. Since the development of the effect is changed before and after the small hit game, a control signal is output from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the small hit game. For this reason, the number of hits displayed by the hit number notification unit 102 of the game information notification device 100 increases.

  After that, it is assumed that the small hit game based on the third small hit is generated again before the end of the first special performance mode. In this case, since the development of the production is not changed before and after the small hit game, the variation pattern for the off-direction production determined by referring to the first special variation pattern table SP1 is selected for the symbol variation game to be won in the small hit lottery. It is executed based on. Further, during the occurrence of the small hit game, the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 are displayed in the same manner as during the inter-game interval. Further, since the development of the effect is not changed before and after the small hit game, the control signal is not output from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the small hit game. For this reason, the number of hits displayed by the hit number notification unit 102 of the game information notification device 100 does not increase.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The upper limit time for which the big winning device 23 as the special winning means is opened in the winning game based on the second winning (in the first embodiment, the small winning game) is the winning based on the first winning It is shorter than the upper limit time for which the big winning device 23 is opened in the game (in the first embodiment, the big hit game). For this reason, in the hit game based on the second hit, the number of game balls owned by the player before and after the hit game may or may not increase compared to the hit game based on the first hit. It is assumed that the person does not notice. If there is no change in the development of the effect before and after the winning game based on the second hit, there is a high possibility that the player will not notice that the winning game based on the second hit has occurred.

  For this reason, in the case where a hit game based on the second hit that makes it difficult to recognize that the player has gained profit is generated and the development of the production is not changed, the external signal output means The control signal (external signal) is prevented from being output from the fifth output terminal GT5. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the external device (for example, the game information notification device 100) from notifying the winning. On the other hand, when the development of the effect is changed before and after the winning game based on the second hit, a control signal is output from the fifth output terminal GT5. Accordingly, it is possible to notify the external device that the development of the production has been changed with the occurrence of the hit game. From the above, in a situation where it is difficult for the player to recognize that a hit game has occurred, such as a situation in which a hit game based on the second hit has occurred, a hit is notified by an external device or an external device. It is possible to prevent the notified number of hits from increasing, and to suppress discomfort for the player.

  (2) If the method of determining the variation time of the symbol variation game (variation game) has been changed, unless the player is aware that the method of determining the variation time of the symbol variation game has changed, There is a risk of discomfort. For this reason, a variation pattern table (a variation information group for determining variation information) referred to before and after the hit game based on the second hit (in the first embodiment, the small hit game) that is hardly noticed is generated. When the development of the effect is changed by the change, a control signal (external signal) is output from the fifth output terminal GT5 as the external output means. Thereby, it is possible to notify the player that the referenced variation pattern table has been changed, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable or uncomfortable. Furthermore, it is possible to entertain the game by associating the change of the variation pattern table with the hit.

  (3) The change of the production mode can be clearly recognized from the player. For this reason, the development of the effect is changed by changing the effect mode before and after the hit game based on the second hit (in the first embodiment, the small hit game) which is difficult to notice that the hit game has occurred. In this case, a control signal (external signal) is output from the fifth output terminal GT5 as external output means. Thereby, it is possible to entertain the game by associating the change of the production mode with the hit.

  (4) Even when the same type of hit is determined internally, the special symbols (result symbols) that are stopped and displayed on the special symbol display devices 25a and 25b as the result symbol display means are different. There is also. This makes it difficult to match the special symbol type that is stopped and displayed in the special symbol variation game as a variation game and the opportunity to change the development of the production, and the development of the production is changed without the player's assumption. Increase the chances of being played and entertain the player. Further, since the player is prevented from feeling uncomfortable due to the output of the control signal (external signal) from the fifth output terminal GT5 as the external signal output means, the game can be enjoyed honestly. .

  (5) When a winning game based on the first hit (in the first embodiment, a big hit game) is generated, a control signal (external signal) is output from the fifth output terminal GT5 as the external signal output means. The In the hit game based on the first hit, it is assumed that the player can obtain more profit than the hit game based on the second hit (in the first embodiment, the small hit game). In this way, in a situation where the player gains more profit and it is easy to feel that the player has hit, the control signal is output from the fifth output terminal GT5 to notify the hit, Even if it increases, the risk that the player feels uncomfortable is low. Rather, if the number of hits notified by an external device (for example, the game information notification device 100) is increased by outputting a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5, the player can be given a sense of superiority. Can be improved.

  (6) In the second win (small win in the first embodiment), the open state and the closed state of the large winning device 23 (special ball entry means) in the win game based on the second win are the same. A second hit of type is included. Therefore, it may not be possible to specify which type of second winning is determined even when looking at the open state and the closed state of the big winning device 23 in the winning game based on the second winning. Therefore, it is possible to change the development of the production while making it difficult to specify the second hit type and the various second hit selection rates that are determined internally. As a result, it is possible to make it appear as if the development of the production is changed without depending on the selection rate of the various second hits, and the game can be enjoyed.

  (7) When the development of the production is not changed before and after the winning game based on the second hit (small hit in the first embodiment), the occurrence of the hit game based on the second hit may be out of place Similarly, the variation of the symbol sequence continues to be stopped. For this reason, if the development of the production is not changed before and after the winning game based on the second hit, do you notice that the winning game has occurred, including notification by an external device (for example, the game information notification device 100)? It can be difficult. As a result, the game can be continued as if it were simply disconnected, giving a sense of incongruity that the control signal (external signal) is not output from the fifth output terminal GT5 as the external signal output means. This can be suppressed.

  (8) A fifth output terminal GT5 is provided as an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers an output when the development of the production is changed before and after the winning game (small winning game) based on the second hit. . As a result, in a situation where it is difficult for the player to recognize that the winning game has occurred, such as when a winning game based on the second hit is generated, the winning is notified by the external device, or is notified by the external device. It is possible to prevent an increase in the number of hits per game, and to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable.

  Furthermore, in addition to the fifth output terminal GT5, a sixth output terminal GT6 is provided as an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers the entry of the game ball into the start ball entry means. By inputting a control signal from the output terminal GT6, it becomes possible to know how many game balls have entered the start ball entering devices 14, 15, and 21 with an external device. Further, by providing a seventh output terminal GT7 as an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers the output of the variable game, it is possible to input a control signal from the seventh output terminal GT7, and how much It is possible to grasp with an external device whether the symbol variation game has been performed. In addition, the ninth output terminal GT9 is provided with the ninth output terminal GT9 as an output unit that outputs a control signal that triggers an output when an illegal act is performed on the gaming machine. By inputting a control signal from the external device, it is possible for the external device to grasp that an illegal act has been performed.

  In a general pachinko gaming machine, the number of output terminals (output means) that can be provided on the external terminal board 50 is limited. As described above, since the number of output terminals is limited, a single output terminal (fifth output terminal GT5) can be configured so as not to cause discomfort to the player. The number of output terminals that can be used for outputting is increased. Even if the output terminals of pachinko machines can be increased, the number of input terminals of external devices is limited. As described above, since the number of input terminals of the external device is also limited, if it can be configured so as not to cause discomfort to the player by a single output terminal, control output for other purposes is possible. The number of input terminals that can be used to input signals can be increased.

  (9) By providing the fourth output terminal GT4 serving as an output means for the control signal that is triggered by the occurrence of the hit game, the control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 is input, It becomes possible to grasp how much it was generated by an external device. In particular, the information that can be grasped based on the control signal from the fourth output terminal GT4 is information that the manager of the game hall wants to grasp, but an external device that can be visually recognized by the player (for example, the game information notification device 100). ), The player may feel uncomfortable by increasing the number of hits in a situation where it is difficult for the player to notice that a hit game has occurred.

  For this reason, for example, the game information notification device 100 that is often installed at a position where the player can visually recognize, “the development of the production is changed before and after the winning game based on the second hit is an output trigger. Various information is notified based on a control signal from a fifth output terminal GT5 "serving as an output means for outputting a control signal. On the other hand, a hall computer that is often not installed at a position where the player can visually recognize the player gives discomfort to the player by notifying various information based on the control signal from the “fourth output terminal GT4”. While suppressing this, it is possible to provide the manager with information desired by the manager of the game hall. In this way, by providing different output terminals for wiring connection for each external device, it is configured to give information required by those who visually recognize each external device, and to avoid discomfort to those who visually recognize each external device It becomes possible to do.

  (10) During the occurrence of a hit game based on the second hit (in the first embodiment, a small hit game), the game state before the occurrence of the hit game based on the second hit is continuously generated (set). It is configured to be. Further, in general, the “ream state” is a state in which a hitting game based on the reduced variation time state and the first hit (a big hit game in the first embodiment) is repeated, which is an advantageous state for the player. It can be said. In such a extended resort state, an external device may want to notify the extended resort state. Therefore, the third output terminal GT3 serving as an output means that either one of the winning game based on the first hit is generated and the variable time reduction state is set is an output trigger. By providing, it becomes possible to input the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 and grasp that it is in the extended state by an external device.

  For example, the game information notifying device 100 may display “a fifth output terminal GT5 as an output unit that outputs a control signal that triggers an output change when the development of the effect is changed before and after the winning game based on the second hit”. And “third output terminal GT3” are connected by wiring. In addition, while notifying the player that the game is in the continuous state based on the control signal from the third output terminal GT3, the player can win based on the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 and increase the number of hits. Let's say you want to be notified. In this case, even if a hit game based on the second hit is generated during the consecutive house state, it is possible to continue to notify that the consecutive house state is in progress without notifying that the player has won. Become. For this reason, while notifying the player that the consecutive resort state is continuing, it is difficult for the player to notice that the hit game based on the second hit has occurred, giving the player discomfort. Can be suppressed.

  (11) By providing a second output terminal GT2 as an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers an output when the unit number of game balls are paid out, a control signal from the second output terminal GT2 is provided. It becomes possible to know how much the payout has been made by an external device.

  (12) A variation pattern table (development of effects) to be referred to is determined according to the type of the small hit determined at the time of winning the lottery lottery and the type of game state at the time of the lottery lottery winning. For this reason, if the probability that various small hits are determined is adjusted, it is possible to adjust the probability that the development of the effect is changed for each type of small hits. In addition, since the variation pattern table to be referred to is determined according to the type of gaming state at the time of winning the lottery lottery, not only the probability of determining various types of small hits, the probability of changing the development of the production for each gaming state, , You can adjust how to develop the production. As described above, instead of changing the development of the performance simply by winning the small lottery, the probability of changing the development of the production according to the type of the small hit and the gaming state at the time of the small lottery winning, By changing the type, it is possible to improve the interest without depending on the chance to change the production development depending on the winning probability of the small lottery. Moreover, since the variation of the production | presentation development triggered by the winning of the lottery lottery can be increased, the interest can be improved by developing a plurality of types of productions.

  (13) When winning a big hit lottery triggered by entering the non-variable second starting ball entering device 15, than winning a big hit lottery triggered by entering the first start ball entering device 14 However, it is easy to determine a type of jackpot that is advantageous to the player. For this reason, when a game ball enters the non-variable second starting and entering device 15, it becomes easy to determine a type of jackpot that is advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the winning probability of the small hit lottery triggered by entering the first starting ball entering device 14 is larger than the winning probability of the small hit lottery triggered by entering the non-variable second starting ball entering device 15. high. For this reason, when a game ball enters the first start ball entering device 14, the development of the production is easily changed. Also, the game balls that have entered the sorting device 13 are alternately distributed to the first starting and entering device 14 and the non-variable second starting and entering device 15. At the same time, the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game are executed in the order in which the execution is suspended. For this reason, it is possible to provide gameability in which the situation where the development of the production is easily changed and the situation where it is easy to determine the type of jackpot advantageous to the player can be provided, and the interest can be improved. .

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that detailed description and drawings regarding the same configuration as in the first embodiment will be omitted.

  In the second embodiment, no small lottery is performed. Therefore, in the second embodiment, a small hit game is not generated. Also, in the second embodiment, the type of jackpot when winning the first jackpot lottery and the type of jackpot when winning the second jackpot lottery are different from the first embodiment.

Hereinafter, the types of jackpots in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.
First, based on FIG. 13, the types of jackpots determined when the first jackpot lottery is won will be described.

  When the first big hit lottery is won, any one of the normal 16R special big hit, the first 2R specific big hit to the sixth 2R specific big hit, and the first 2R non-specific big hit to the sixth 2R non-specific big win The type of jackpot is determined. By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the first big hit lottery is won, the probability is usually 20R with a 16R specific big hit, 11% with the first 2R specific big win with a 10% probability. A 2R specific big hit of 2 is determined with a probability of 6%, and a third 2R specific big hit is determined. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first big hit lottery is won, the fourth 2R specific big win with a probability of 6%, the fifth 2R specific big win with a probability of 8%, and the sixth with a probability of 15%. 2R specific jackpot is determined. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the first big hit lottery is won, the first 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 5% and the second 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 2% with a probability of 2%. The third 2R non-specific big hit is determined with a probability of 2%, the second 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 3, and the fifth 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 3%, and the sixth 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 8%.

  When a big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit to the sixth 2R specific big hit and the first 2R non-specific big hit to the sixth 2R non-specific big hit is generated, two open games are performed. In all the open games in the big hit games based on the first 2R specific big hit to the sixth 2R specific big hit and the first 2R non-specific big hit to the sixth 2R non-specific big hit, until the open game ends, The winning device 23 is opened.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit to the sixth 2R specific big hit, the high probability lottery state is generated. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the first 2R non-specific big hit to the sixth 2R non-specific big hit, the high probability lottery state is not generated.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit to the sixth 2R specific big hit and the first 2R non-specific big hit to the sixth 2R non-specific big hit, a variation time shortening state occurs when the big hit lottery is won. If not done, the variable time reduction state does not occur. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit to the sixth 2R specific big hit and the first 2R non-special big hit to the sixth 2R non-specific big hit, the fluctuation time reduction state occurs when the big hit lottery is won. If so, a state of shortening the variation time is generated. The difference between the first 2R specific big hit to the sixth 2R specific big hit and the difference between the first 2R non-specific big hit to the sixth 2R non-specific big hit will be described later.

Next, the type of jackpot determined when the second jackpot lottery is won will be described with reference to FIG.
When the second big hit lottery is won, the 16R specific big hit, the third 2R specific big hit, the fifth 2R specific big hit to the eighth 2R specific big hit, the third 2R non-specific big hit and the fifth 2R One type of big hit is determined from the non-specific big hit to the eighth 2R non-specific big hit. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the second big hit lottery is won, the 16R specific big win with a probability of 55%, the third 2R specific big win with a probability of 6%, and the probability of 1% with a probability of 1%. A 5R 2R specific jackpot is determined with a probability of 2%, a sixth 2R specific jackpot with a probability of 6%, a seventh 2R specific jackpot with a probability of 6%, and an eighth 2R specific jackpot with a probability of 6%. Also, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second big hit lottery is won, the second 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 4% and the second 2R non-specific big win with a probability of 2% with a probability of 1%. The sixth 2R non-specific big hit is determined with a probability of 10% and the second 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 7%, and the eighth 2R non-specific big hit with a probability of 7%.

  When a big hit game based on the seventh 2R specific big hit, the eighth 2R specific big hit, the seventh 2R non-specific big hit, and the eighth 2R non-specific big hit is generated, two open games are performed. In all the open games in the big hit games based on the seventh 2R specific big hit, the eighth 2R specific big hit, the seventh 2R non-specific big hit and the eighth 2R non-specific big hit, the big game until the open game ends. The winning device 23 is opened.

  Further, after the end of the big hit game based on the seventh 2R specific big hit and the eighth 2R specific big hit, a high probability lottery state is generated. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the seventh 2R non-specific big hit and the eighth 2R non-special big hit, the high probability lottery state is not generated.

  Also, after the big hit game based on the seventh 2R specific big hit, the eighth 2R specific big hit, the seventh 2R non-specific big hit, and the eighth 2R non-specific big hit, the high probability lottery state changes when the big hit lottery wins. If none of the time shortening states has occurred, the variable time shortening state does not occur. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game based on the seventh 2R specific big hit, the eighth 2R specific big hit, the seventh 2R non-specific big hit and the eighth 2R non-specific big hit, the high probability lottery win and the state change If any of the time shortening states has occurred, the variation time shortening state is generated. The difference between the first 2R specific big hit to the eighth 2R specific big hit and the difference between the first 2R non-specific big hit to the eighth 2R non-specific big hit will be described later. In the following description, the first 2R specific big hit to the eighth 2R specific big hit and the first 2R non-specific big hit to the eighth 2R non-specific big hit are collectively referred to as “2R big hit”.

  Normally, the specified time in which the big winning device 23 is in an open state in a single open game based on a 16R specific big hit is an easy time to allow a predetermined number of game balls to enter the big winning device 23. It has been established. On the other hand, the specified time during which the big winning device 23 is in an open state in one open game based on the 2R jackpot game is a time when it is difficult for a predetermined number of game balls to enter the big winning device 23. It has been established. Furthermore, in the specified time when the big winning device 23 is opened in one open game based on the 2R big hit of the present embodiment, even the single winning game ball is entered into the big winning device 23. Is determined in a difficult time (for example, 0.6 seconds or less). That is, it is not assumed that the player is given a game ball as a prize ball by giving a big hit game based on 2R jackpot, and the number of game balls owned by the player before and after the big hit game based on 2R jackpot Is not expected to increase. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured so that the number of prize balls that a player can expect to acquire is larger in the big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit than in the big hit game based on the 2R big hit.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the upper limit time for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit is the upper limit for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the big hit game based on the 2R big hit. It is longer than time. That is, the upper limit time for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the big hit game based on 2R big hit is shorter than the upper limit time for the big winning device 23 to be opened in the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit. . In this embodiment, the 16R big hit usually corresponds to the first hit, and the 2R big hit corresponds to the second hit. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that determines the type of jackpot in the special symbol start process functions as a hit type determining unit.

Here, the special symbol start process of this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot when winning the jackpot lottery, refers to the variation pattern table, and changes from the variation pattern for the jackpot effect and the variation pattern for the off-stage effect. Determine the pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a changes the development of the performance before and after the big hit game when the big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit is generated or when the big hit game based on the 2R big hit is generated. If so, the variation pattern for the big hit effect is determined. On the other hand, when the big hit game based on the 2R big hit is generated and the development of the production is not changed before and after the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern from the variation patterns for the off-direction production. . In the present embodiment, it is possible to determine when the big hit game based on the 2R big hit is generated and the variation pattern for the big hit effect that is normally determined when the big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit is generated. This is different from the variation pattern for the big hit effect.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a symbol to be removed as a special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 25a or the second special symbol display device 25b when the big hit lottery is not won, and displays a variation pattern table. Referring to the variation pattern for the offending effect, the variation pattern is determined.

Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a variation pattern table that is referred to after the end of the big hit game as the win game will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, after the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit, the shortening variation pattern table TP is referred to regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit lottery win.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit to the eighth 2R specific big hit and the first 2R non-special big hit to the eighth 2R specific big hit, the fluctuation time shortened state occurs during the big hit lottery or the like. If so, the shortening variation pattern table TP is referred to.

  As shown in FIG. 13, after the big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit and the first 2R non-special big hit, if the fluctuation time shortening state has not occurred at the big hit lottery win, the normal fluctuation pattern table NP Is referenced. After the big hit game based on the second 2R specific big hit and the second 2R non-special big hit, if neither the high-probability lottery state nor the variable time shortening state has occurred when the big hit lottery is won, the normal fluctuation pattern table NP Is referenced. In addition, after the big hit game based on the second 2R specific big hit and the second 2R non-special big hit, the high probability lottery state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery win, but the variable time shortening state is not generated. The first special variation pattern table SP1 is referred to.

  As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, after the big hit game based on the third 2R specific big hit and the third 2R non-special big hit, if the variable time shortening state has not occurred at the big hit lottery win, The special variation pattern table SP1 is referred to.

  As shown in FIG. 13, after the big hit game based on the fourth 2R specific big hit and the fourth 2R non-special big hit, neither a high-probability lottery state nor a variable time shortening state has occurred when the big hit lottery is won. In this case, the normal variation pattern table NP is referred to. In addition, after the big hit game based on the fourth 2R specific big hit and the fourth 2R non-special big hit, when the high probability lottery state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery win, the variable time shortening state is not generated The second special variation pattern table SP2 is referred to.

  As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, after the big hit game based on the fifth 2R specific big hit and the fifth 2R non-special big hit is finished, if the variable time shortening state is not generated at the big hit lottery win, The special variation pattern table SP2 is referred to. In addition, after the big hit game based on the sixth 2R specific big hit and the sixth 2R non-special big hit, if the high probability lottery state or the variable time shortening state has not occurred at the time of the big hit lottery, the first special The fluctuation pattern table SP1 is referred to. In addition, after the big hit game based on the sixth 2R specific big hit and the sixth 2R non-special big hit, when the high probability lottery state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery win, the variable time shortening state is not generated The second special variation pattern table SP2 is referred to.

  As shown in FIG. 14, after the big hit game based on the seventh 2R specific big hit and the seventh 2R non-special big hit, neither a high-probability lottery state nor a variable time shortening state has occurred during the big hit lottery win. In this case, the first special variation pattern table SP1 is referred to. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game based on the seventh 2R specific big hit and the seventh 2R non-special big hit, the high probability lottery state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery win, but the variable time reduction state is not generated The shortening variation pattern table TP is referred to.

  After the jackpot game based on the 8th 2R specific big hit and the 8th 2R non-special big hit, if neither the high probability lottery state nor the variable time shortening state has occurred at the time of the big hit lottery, the second special fluctuation pattern Reference is made to the table SP2. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game based on the 8th 2R specific big hit and the 8th 2R non-special big hit, the high probability lottery state is generated at the time of the big hit lottery win, but the variable time shortening state is not generated The shortening variation pattern table TP is referred to.

Next, the hit effect produced during the occurrence of the big hit game will be described.
Usually, during the occurrence of the big hit game based on the 16R specific big hit, the display control CPU 31a displays the content displayed on the effect display device 11 so as to execute the hit-direction effect that informs that the shortened effect mode is executed after the big hit game ends. To control.

  When the development of the production is changed before and after the jackpot game based on the 2R jackpot, during the occurrence of the jackpot game based on the 2R jackpot, the presentation control CPU 31a informs the type of the presentation mode to be executed after the jackpot game ends. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to execute the hit effect.

  On the other hand, if the development of the production is not changed before and after the big hit game based on the 2R jackpot, during the occurrence of the big hit game based on the 2R big hit, the presentation control CPU 31a displays the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 in the same manner as the interval between games. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled to display.

  Here, control signals output from the output terminals GT1 to GT9 in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described. Note that the first output terminal GT1, the second output terminal GT2, the fourth output terminal GT4, and the sixth output terminal GT6 to the ninth output terminal GT9 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the third output terminal GT3 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output that a big hit game in which a variation time reduction state occurs after the big hit game ends. Furthermore, the third output terminal GT3 is an output terminal from which a control signal is output that triggers an output when the variation time reduction state is occurring.

  The fifth output terminal GT5 is an output terminal that outputs a control signal that triggers an output when a big hit game based on a normal 16R specific big hit is occurring. Furthermore, the fifth output terminal GT5 is an output terminal from which a control signal is output that triggers the output of a big hit game based on a 2R big hit whose development is changed before and after the big hit game. Thus, the fifth output terminal GT5 in the present embodiment corresponds to an output means for outputting a control signal that triggers an output when the development of the effect is changed before and after the winning game based on the second hit.

Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the third output terminal GT3 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in the present embodiment will be described.
The main control CPU 30a causes a control signal to be output from the third output terminal GT3 during the occurrence of the big hit game in which the variation time reduction state occurs after the big hit game ends. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 with a predetermined interval while the big hit game in which the variation time reduction state is generated after the big hit game is finished. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the third output terminal GT3 during the occurrence of the variation time shortening state. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the control signal from the third output terminal GT3 at a predetermined interval while the variation time reduction state is occurring.

For this reason, when the control signal is not input even if a predetermined interval is left after the input of the control signal from the third output terminal GT3, it can be recognized by the external device that the extended state has ended.
Next, processing relating to output of a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in the present embodiment will be described.

  The main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit. The main control CPU 30a continues to output the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 with a predetermined interval while the big hit game based on the normal 16R specific big hit is occurring. Further, when the development of the effect is changed before and after the big hit game based on the 2R big hit, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the big hit game. When the control signal is output from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the big hit game based on the 2R big hit, the main control CPU 30a leaves a predetermined interval while the big hit game based on the 2R big hit is being generated. Thus, the control signal is continuously output from the fifth output terminal GT5.

  For this reason, when the control signal is not input even after a predetermined interval from the input of the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5, the external device can recognize that the big hit game has ended. In other words, when a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 is input and a control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 is input after an interval longer than a predetermined interval is input, a new jackpot game is generated. Can be recognized by an external device. By the way, the jackpot game that can be recognized as being generated by an external device at this time is usually a jackpot game based on a 16R specific jackpot or a jackpot game based on a 2R jackpot in which the development of the performance is changed before and after the jackpot game. .

Here, the output mode of the control signal from the fifth output terminal GT5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 (a) and 16 (b).
As shown in FIG. 16A, when the high-probability lottery state and the variation time reduction state have not occurred, the normal variation pattern table NP is referred to and the first effect mode is being executed. Suppose that a big hit game based on the 2R specific big hit of is born. In this case, since the development of the production is not changed before and after the big hit game, the symbol variation game to be won in the big hit lottery is executed based on the variation pattern for the off-direction production determined with reference to the normal variation pattern table NP. The Furthermore, during the jackpot game based on the first 2R specific jackpot, the decorative symbol images Zg1 to Zg3 are displayed in the same manner as during the inter-game interval. Further, since the development of the production is not changed before and after the big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit, the control signal is not output from the fifth output terminal GT5 during the occurrence of the big hit game based on the first 2R specific big hit. . For this reason, the number of hits displayed by the hit number notification unit 102 of the game information notification device 100 does not increase. Note that, after the big hit game based on the generated first 2R specific big hit, the variation time reduction state is not generated, but the high probability lottery state is generated.
