Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pinball game machine capable of preventing technical intervention of a player when mounting a notice performance function in the pinball game machine including two special pattern display devices.SOLUTION: A pinball game machine is configured to more preferentially perform pattern variation of second special pattern display means than pattern variation of first special pattern display means when the number of first and second special retained balls is not less than 1 each. In the pinball game machine, when first and second special pattern start means detect game balls, contents of a jackpot determination random number value acquired by the detection are determined by prior determination means. During a normal game state (S13: No) and during a special period including a period until a jackpot determination random number value at a non-preferential side determined to agree with the jackpot determination value is used as pattern variation (S15: Yes), a false notice performance is executed (S23-S25) with a predetermined probability to a jackpot determination random number value at a non-preferential side determined not to agree with the jackpot determination value (S19: Yes).

Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine including, for example, two sets of special symbol display means and corresponding start means.

  In the pachinko machine before the revision to the current rules, more than one so-called special symbol display device could not be installed, but the regulation was relaxed by the rule revision, and now special symbol display means and corresponding to it A pachinko machine having two sets of starting means has also appeared (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the pachinko machine described in Patent Document 1, among the first and second special symbol starting means corresponding to the two first and second special symbol displaying means, the second special symbol starting means is provided by the openable winning prize means. This second special symbol starting means is special in high-probability state, short-time state, etc. During the gaming state, the opening time per time is longer than in the normal gaming state, so that the game ball can be easily won.

  Patent Document 1 discloses that in such a pachinko machine, while one special symbol display means is changing, the other cannot start changing, and the number of reserved first and second special symbols is 1 or more. In such a case, there is a description that the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means may be prioritized over the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means.

  In a pachinko machine with such a configuration (hereinafter referred to as the invention described in Document 1), during the normal gaming state, the first special symbol side of the non-priority side fluctuates mainly, and the special gaming state becomes a big hit on the first special symbol side When this occurs, the second special symbol on the priority side changes while maintaining the hold on the first special symbol side on the non-priority side, so that the synergistic effect of the two special symbol display means is fully exerted and is extremely There is an advantage that a deep game can be realized.

  By the way, for example, in Patent Document 2, it is determined in advance whether or not the random number acquired when winning the winning means corresponds to the jackpot, and the determination result, that is, the individual reserved memory is stored. Although a pachinko machine configured to perform a notice effect based on the contents of the above has been proposed, it is conceivable to install such a notice effect function in the pachinko machine of the invention described in Document 1.

JP 2008-18000 A JP 2004-147767 A

  In the case of the invention described in Document 1, since the reserved memory on the second special symbol side is digested in preference to the reserved memory on the first special symbol side, the reserved memory of the second special symbol on the priority side always follows the storage order. On the other hand, the reserved memory of the first special symbol on the non-priority side is maintained without being digested while the reserved memory on the second special symbol side exists. Therefore, in the special game state where it is easy to win the game ball to the second special symbol starting means, while the player continues to fire, the second special symbol side holding memory is maintained and the first special symbol is kept. The reserved memory on the special symbol side is not digested. If the player stops firing and the reserved memory on the second special symbol side disappears, the reserved memory on the first special symbol side is digested.

  In this way, in the invention described in Document 1, regarding the special game state, the player can control the digestion timing of the reserved memory on the first special symbol side to some extent at his / her will, so the advance notice is given during the special game state. If the player can know the contents of the reserved memory on the first special symbol side by the production, it is considered that the player can perform so-called technical intervention.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a ball game machine capable of preventing technical intervention by a player when installing a notice effect function in a ball game machine equipped with two special symbol display devices. The purpose is to provide.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a first special symbol starting means 27a capable of detecting a game ball, a first jackpot determination random number value obtained based on the first special symbol starting means 27a detecting a gaming ball, and a first First special symbol display means 23a for variably displaying the first special symbol based on the jackpot symbol random number value, the first jackpot determination random number value and the first jackpot symbol random number value as the first special symbol display means 23a. A first special random number storage means 53a for storing a predetermined upper limit number until it is subjected to symbol fluctuation by the second, a second special symbol start means 27b capable of detecting a game ball, and the second special symbol start means 27b. Second special symbol display means 23b for variably displaying a second special symbol based on a second jackpot determination random number value and a second jackpot symbol random value acquired based on detecting a game ball; Second special random number storage means 53b for storing the jackpot determination random number value and the second jackpot symbol random number value up to a predetermined upper limit number until they are subjected to symbol variation by the second special symbol display means 23b; Either the first jackpot determination random number value stored in one special random number storage means 53a or the second jackpot determination random number value stored in the second special random number storage means 53b matches a predetermined jackpot determination value. Based on this, a special profit state is generated when the stop symbol after the change of any of the first special symbol display means 23a and the second special symbol display means 23b becomes a predetermined jackpot mode. Special profit state generating means 55 and special game state generating means 57 for generating a special gaming state for a predetermined period after the occurrence of the special profit state, the second special symbol start The stage 27b is constituted by a movable winning means having a lower possibility of winning a game ball in the normal gaming state other than the special gaming state compared to the special gaming state, and the first special symbol display means 23a. And the second special symbol display means 23b do not start the other symbol fluctuation, and the first jackpot determination random number value stored in the first special random number storage means 53a does not start. When the first special reserve number that is the number and the second special reserve number that is the number of the second jackpot determination random number value stored in the second special random number storage means 53b are both 1 or more, In the ball ball game machine configured to prioritize the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 23b over the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 23a, the first special symbol starter 27a is a game ball. Inspect It is possible to determine whether or not the first jackpot determination random number value acquired by the detection matches the jackpot determination value when it is released, and the second special symbol starting means 27b detects a game ball Sometimes, based on the determination result by the prior determination means 58 and the prior determination means 58 capable of determining whether or not the second jackpot determination random number value acquired by the detection matches the jackpot determination value, Preliminary effect control means 89 capable of executing a predictive effect with a predetermined probability before any one of the first jackpot determination random number value and the second jackpot determination random number value related to prior determination is subjected to symbol variation. In the special gaming state, the second jackpot determination random number value on the priority side does not prohibit the notice effect by the notice effect control means 89, but the first jackpot determination disorder on the non-priority side. With respect to the value, the notice effect control means 89 is configured to prohibit the notice effect, and the non-priority side determined to match the jackpot determination value during the normal gaming state and by the prior determination means 58. When the first jackpot determination random number value is in a specific period including a non-priority side jackpot holding period until the first special symbol is subjected to fluctuation, the first jackpot determination random number value on the non-priority side Is configured to prohibit the notice effect by the notice effect control means 89, and the first period big hit on the non-priority side determined to be coincident with the jackpot decision value by the prior decision means 58 during the specific period. The variation period of the first special symbol based on the determination random number value is included.
Also, the first and second special symbol starting means 27a and 27b capable of detecting a game ball, and the jackpot determination acquired based on the first and second special symbol starting means 27a and 27b detecting the game ball First and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b for variably displaying the first and second special symbols based on the random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value, the jackpot determination random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value 1, first and second special random number storage means 53a and 53b for storing a predetermined upper limit number until it is subjected to symbol fluctuation by the second special symbol display means 23a and 23b, and the first and second special random numbers The jackpot determination random number value stored in the storage means 53a, 53b matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, and the stop symbol after the change of the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b is determined in advance. The Special profit state generating means 55 for generating a special profit state based on the mode, and the jackpot determination random number value stored in the first and second special random number storage means 53a, 53b is a predetermined jackpot determination value When the special profit state occurs when the jackpot symbol random number value coincides with a predetermined special game determination value and the special profit state occurs, the special game state generating means 57 for generating a special game state for a predetermined period after the special profit state is generated. The second special symbol starting means 27b is constituted by a movable winning means having a lower possibility of winning a game ball in the normal gaming state than in the special gaming state compared to the special gaming state. During the change of either one of the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b, the first and second special random number storage means 53a, When the number of the first and second special reserved numbers, which are the numbers of the jackpot determination random numbers stored in 3b, are both 1 or more, the second special symbol display means 23a is more likely to change than the second special symbol display means 23a. In the ball game machine configured to give priority to the symbol variation of the symbol display means 23b, when the first special symbol starter 27a detects a game ball, the jackpot determination randomness acquired by the detection is detected. Preliminary determining means 58 for determining whether or not a numerical value matches the jackpot determination value, and a notice effect control means 89 for performing a notice effect with a predetermined probability based on the determination result by the preliminary determination means 58, During the normal gaming state, until the jackpot determination random number value on the non-priority side determined by the prior determination means 58 to match the jackpot determination value is used for the fluctuation of the first special symbol During the specific period including the non-priority side jackpot holding period, the pre-determination means 58 determines the jackpot determination random number value on the non-priority side determined not to match the jackpot determination value with a predetermined probability. You may comprise so that the false notice effect to the effect of matching with a jackpot judgment value may be performed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 12 illustrate a first embodiment in which the present invention is employed in a pachinko machine. In FIG. 1, a gaming machine main body 1 includes a rectangular outer frame 2 and a front frame 3 pivotally attached to the front side of the outer frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed. On the front side of the front frame 3, a glass door 4 and a front plate 5 are arranged vertically and are pivotally supported by the front frame 3 so as to be freely opened and closed.

  The front plate 5 is provided with a storage tray 6 for storing game balls to be supplied to the launching means (not shown), a launching handle 7 for operating the launching means, and the like on the front side.

  A game board 11 shown in FIG. 2 is detachably mounted on the back side of the glass door 4. On the front side of the game board 11, a guide rail 12 for guiding a game ball launched from the launching means is annularly mounted, and a center case 14, a normal symbol start is provided in a game area 13 inside the guide rail 12. Various game parts such as means 15, special symbol starting means 16, big winning means 17, and normal winning means 18 are arranged.

  The center case 14 is provided with a normal symbol display means 22, first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b, a normal reserved number display means 24 and the like in addition to an image display device 21 such as a liquid crystal type.

  The image display device 21 constitutes first and second effect symbol display means 25a and 25b, first and second special reserved number display means 26a and 26b, and the like.

  The normal symbol display means 22 is for variably displaying the normal symbol, and is composed of, for example, two light emitters (for example, LEDs) corresponding to two types of normal symbols “O” and “X”. On condition that the normal symbol starting means 15 comprising a gate or the like detects a game ball, the two light emitters blink alternately for a predetermined time, and the hit determination random number value acquired when the normal symbol starting means 15 detects the game ball In the state where the “◯” side illuminant corresponding to the hit mode emits light when it matches the predetermined hit determination value, and the “×” side illuminant corresponding to the off mode otherwise The flashing stops when is emitted.

  Further, when the normal symbol starting means 15 detects a game ball during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display means 22 or during the normal profit state described later, a hit determination random number value acquired at the time of detection is determined in advance. The upper limit number, for example, 4 is stored as a limit, and the normal number-of-holds display means 24 made up of, for example, the same number of light emitters as the upper limit number of reservations determines the number of stored random numbers (hereinafter referred to as the normal number of reservations). ) Is displayed to inform the player of the number of normally reserved items at that time.

  The special symbol starting means 16 is for starting the symbol variation by the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b, and has two upper and lower first and second special starting ports (first and second special symbol starting). Means) 27a and 27b, and an opening / closing means 28 for opening and closing the second special start port 27b on the lower side, for example, disposed on the lower side of the center case 14.

  The first special start port 27a is a non-actuated winning port that does not have an opening / closing means or the like. The second special start opening (movable winning means) 27b is a movable winning opening that can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can win a prize and a closed state in which a prize cannot be closed by an opening / closing means 28. The opening / closing means 28 is configured to change from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times when the stop symbol after the change becomes a hit state and a normal profit state occurs.

  Each of the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b is composed of one or a plurality of display means, for example, a seven-segment type display means capable of variably displaying each one special symbol. The display means 23a displays the first and second special symbols fluctuating for a predetermined time on the condition that a game ball wins the first special start port 27a and the second special start port 27b, When the jackpot determination random number value acquired at the time of winning the first and second special start ports 27a, 27b matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, it is a predetermined jackpot mode. It stops in the mode.

  For example, 10 kinds of numerical symbols “0” to “9” and a symbol symbol “−” are used for the first and second special symbols, “0” to “9” are jackpots, “−” Is set to an off mode. It should be noted that the first and second special symbols only need to exist in a plurality of types and are different from each other, and it is not always necessary for the player to be easily discriminable like a numeric symbol.

In addition, when a game ball wins the first and second special start ports 27a and 27b during the first and second special symbol fluctuation display or the special profit state described later, the jackpot acquired at the time of winning the prize The determination random number value and the like are respectively stored with a predetermined upper limit reserved number, for example, 4 each as a limit, and the first and second special reserved number display means 26a and 26b respectively store the number of jackpot determination random number values (hereinafter referred to as the first number). 1 and 2nd special reserved number), and the player is notified of the first and second special reserved numbers at that time.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol variation of the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b is not started during the special profit state, and one of the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b is not started. During the symbol variation, the other symbol variation is not started, and both are controlled so as not to vary simultaneously. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when both the first and second special reserved numbers are 1 or more, the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 23b is prioritized over the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 23a. Is configured to do.

  The first and second effect symbol display means 25a and 25b are synchronized with the change display of the first and second special symbols by the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b, for example. The effect design is displayed in a variable manner, and one or a plurality of, for example, three first and second effect designs in the horizontal direction can be displayed on the display screen 21a of the image display device 21 together with various effect images, for example. The first effect symbol display means 25a is the first special start port 27a, and the second effect symbol display means 25b is the first and second on condition that the game ball wins the second special start port 27b. The first and second effects so that the first and second effect symbols start to change according to a predetermined change pattern at the same time as the special symbol change starts and the final stop simultaneously with the first and second special symbols change stop. Designs in a predetermined order such as left, right, middle In has to be stopped. As described above, since the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b do not change at the same time, the first and second effect symbol display means 25a and 25b simultaneously display the symbol change display on the display screen 21a. Never do.

  For example, 10 kinds of numerical symbols from “0” to “9” are used for the production symbol, and all three symbols, such as “6, 6, 6” and “7, 7, 7”, are all in the same pattern. Is a big hit mode, and at least one pattern is different. The stop symbols after the first and second effect symbols are changed by the first and second effect symbol display means 25a and 25b are the first and second special symbols by the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b. Is a big hit mode consisting of the same numerical symbol as the second special symbol, for example, and when the first and second special symbols are stopped in the off mode, it is an arbitrary off mode. For example, when the first special symbol is stopped at “7”, the first effect symbol is stopped at “7 · 7 · 7”, and when the first special symbol is stopped at “−”, the first effect symbol is stopped. Is stopped in any disengagement mode such as “3, 4, 5”. In addition, you may make it the 1st, 2nd effect symbol display means 25a, 25b perform the effect which is not directly related to the fluctuation | variation content of a 1st, 2nd special symbol.

  The first and second special reserved number display means 26a and 26b display the first and second special reserved numbers based on the displayed numbers of the first and second symbols X and Y corresponding to the first and second special reserved numbers. Thus, the first and second reserved symbols X and Y corresponding to the first and second reserved numbers are displayed on the same display screen 21a, for example, on the lower side, corresponding to each other vertically.

  The big winning means 17 is an open / close-type winning means provided with an opening / closing plate 29 that can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won. When the special profit state occurs based on the fact that the first and second special symbols after the change are in a big hit mode, the opening / closing plate 29 opens to the front side according to any of a plurality of types of opening patterns, The game balls that have fallen into are awarded to the inside.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control system of the pachinko machine. In FIG. 3, 31 is a main control board, 32 is an effect control board, and each of these control boards 31 and 32 collects the center case 14 mounted on the game board 11 and a plurality of other game parts from the back side. Each of them is housed in a substrate case that is detachably attached to appropriate positions on the back side of the gaming machine main body 1 including the front frame 3 and the game board 11 such as the back side of the back cover to be covered.

  The main control board 31 mainly performs control related to the game operation on the game board 11 side, and includes a normal random number generation processing means 41 constituted by a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, etc., a normal start port check processing means 42, Ordinary random number storage means 43, ordinary symbol processing means 44, ordinary profit state generation means 45, ordinary symbol display control means 46, first and second special random number generation processing means 51a and 51b, and first and second special start port check processing Means 52a, 52b, first and second special random number storage means 53a, 53b, first and second special symbol processing means 54a, 54b, special profit state generating means 55, first and second special symbol display control means 56a, 56b, special gaming state generation means 57, pre-determination means 58, control command transmission means 59, and the like.

  The normal random number generation processing means 41 is configured to repeatedly generate a hit determination random number used for determining whether or not the changed normal symbol is set as a hit mode at predetermined time intervals.

  The normal starting port check processing means 42 performs processing based on the detection of the game ball by the normal symbol starting means 15. Based on the fact that the normal symbol starting means 15 detects the game ball, the normal random number generating processing means 41. One hit determination random number value is acquired, and the hit determination random number value is stored in the normal random number storage means 43 up to a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four).

  The normal symbol processing means 44 performs processing related to the normal symbol fluctuation display, and includes a hit determination means 61, a normal stop symbol selection means 62, a fluctuation time selection means 63, and the like.

  The hit determination means 61 determines whether or not the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol is used as a hit state. The normal symbol display means 22 is in a state where the variable symbol display is possible and one is stored in the normal random number storage means 43. On condition that the above hit determination random number value is stored (the number of normal holdings is 1 or more), the hit determination random value stored in the normal random number storage means 43 is taken out first, and the hit determination random value Is configured to make a hit / miss determination according to whether or not matches a predetermined hit determination value.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the number of hit determination values used for the hit determination by the hit determination means 61 is different between the special game state described later and the other normal game state. The winning probability (for example, 1 / 1.3) in the special gaming state is set higher than the winning probability (for example, 1/10) in the normal gaming state.

The normal stop symbol selection means 62 selects the type of stop symbol after the normal symbol changes. In the present embodiment, only one type of symbol corresponds to the hit mode and the miss mode. Therefore, based on the hit / miss judgment result by the hit judgment function, “○” In the case of determination of detachment, “×” is selected uniformly.

  The variation time selection means 63 is for selecting the variation time of the normal symbol. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the variation time (for example, 2.7 seconds) during the special gaming state is set to be shorter than the variation time (for example, 27 seconds) during the normal gaming state.

  The normal profit state generation means 45 performs the second special start when the determination result by the hit determination means 61 of the normal symbol processing means 44 is a hit determination and the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 22 is in a hit state. The opening / closing means 28 of the mouth 27b is changed to an open state according to any of a plurality of types of opening / closing patterns.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × opening once) and the opening time and / or the number of opening times are set to be longer than the normal opening / closing pattern. Two types of opening / closing patterns (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times opening) are set, and the normal opening / closing pattern is selected during the normal gaming state, and the special opening / closing pattern is selected during the special gaming state. Yes.

  The normal symbol display control means 46 controls the display of the normal symbol display means 22 based on the normal symbol processing by the normal symbol processing means 44. The normal symbol display means 22 is in a state in which the normal symbol display means 22 can be variably displayed and the normal random number storage means. The normal symbol display means 22 starts to change the normal symbol on the condition that one or more hit determination random number values are stored in 43 (the normal holding number is 1 or more). Based on the elapse of the selected variation time, the variation of the normal symbol is stopped at the stop symbol selected by the normal stop symbol selecting means 62.

  The first and second special random number generation processing means 51a and 51b receive the jackpot determination random number used for determining whether or not the first and second special symbols after change are to be the big hit mode, and the special symbols after change are jackpots. It is configured to perform a special random number generation process that repeatedly generates a predetermined random number, such as a jackpot symbol random number used to select a stop symbol when it becomes an aspect, a variation pattern selection random number used to select a variation pattern of a special symbol . In this embodiment, it is assumed that the jackpot determination random number is set in the range of 0 to 349 and the jackpot symbol random number is set in the range of 0 to 9, respectively.

  The first and second special start port check processing means 52a and 52b perform processing based on winning of game balls to the first and second special start ports 27a and 27b, and the first and second special start port 27a. , 27b is detected by the first and second special random number generation processing means 51a, 51b based on the detection of the game ball, that is, the game ball wins the first and second special start ports 27a, 27b. The jackpot determination random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value are acquired one by one, and the first and second special random numbers are limited to a predetermined upper limit holding number (for example, four each). The storage means 53a and 53b are configured to be stored.

  The first and second special symbol processing means 54a and 54b perform processing related to the variable display of the first and second special symbols, and the first and second big hit determination means 71a and 71b and the first and second special stops. Symbol selection means 72a, 72b, first and second variation pattern selection means 73a, 73b and the like are provided.

  The first and second jackpot judging means 71a and 71b are jackpot judgments as to whether or not the changed first and second special symbols are to be jackpots by random lottery, and the first and second special symbol displays. The means 23a, 23b can be displayed in a variable manner, and at least one jackpot determination random number value is stored in the first and second special random number storage means 53a, 53b (the first and second special reserved numbers are 1). The jackpot determination random number value stored first in the first and second special random number storage means 53a and 53b is taken out, and the jackpot determination random number value matches the predetermined jackpot determination value. Depending on whether or not, it is configured to determine whether or not big hit.

  In the present embodiment, for example, “7” out of 0 to 349 during normal probability states other than the high probability state described later, and “17” and “27” in addition to “7” during the high probability state. Etc. (for example, a total of 10) are set as jackpot determination values.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol variation of the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b is not started during the special profit state, and one of the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b is not started. If the other symbol variation is not started during symbol variation and both are not varying simultaneously, and the first and second special reserve numbers are both 1 or more, the first The symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 23b is prioritized over the symbol variation of the special symbol display means 23a. That is, when any of the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b is finished and the next change display is possible, the first special hold number is 1 or more. The processing by the big hit determination means 71a is performed, and the processing by the second big hit determination means 71b is performed if at least the second special reserve number is 1 or more.

  The first and second special stop symbol selection means 72a and 72b select the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, and the first and second big hit determination means 71a and 71b Based on the determination result and the jackpot symbol random number value stored together with the jackpot determination random number value in the first and second special random number storage means 53a and 53b, the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols is selected. Is configured to do.

  For example, when the determination result by the first and second jackpot determination means 71a and 71b is a jackpot determination, any one of “0” to “9” that is a jackpot symbol is selected based on the jackpot symbol random number value. When the determination result by the first and second big hit determination means 71a and 71b is a determination of losing, “−” which is a losing symbol is selected.

  The first and second variation pattern selection means 73a and 73b select variation patterns of the first and second effect symbols, and are based on the determination result of big hit / loss from the first and second big hit determination means 71a and 71b. Thus, one of a plurality of types of special symbol variation patterns is selected.

  In the special profit state generating means 55, the determination result by the first jackpot determining means 71a or the second jackpot determining means 71b is a jackpot determination, and the stop symbol after the first special symbol display means 23a or the second special symbol display means 23b is changed. Is a special profit state that is advantageous to the player based on the fact that the game becomes a big hit mode.

  During the special profit state, the special winning means 17 is opened according to a predetermined opening pattern. For example, a plurality of types of opening patterns of the special winning means 17 are prepared, and one of them is selected by the special profit state generating means 55.

  In the present embodiment, two types of opening patterns A and B are provided as shown in FIG. 4, and the special profit state generating means 55 is configured to receive a jackpot when the first special symbol becomes a jackpot symbol. Depending on the type of symbol, ie, the jackpot symbol random number value, either open pattern A or B is selected (FIG. 4 (a)), and if the second special symbol becomes a jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot symbol Regardless of this, only the open pattern B is selected (FIG. 4B).

  The opening pattern A is set so that the operation of releasing the special winning means 17 for 0.2 seconds is performed for two rounds. In this opening pattern A, since the opening time of one time is as short as 0.2 seconds and the number of rounds is as small as two rounds, the possibility that a game ball wins during the opening is very small.

  The release pattern B is an operation of closing the big winning means 17 on condition that a predetermined number of times (for example, 28 seconds) has elapsed since the opening or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls have been won. It is set to perform a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds). In the case of this open pattern B, if there are 15 prize balls for one winning prize to the big winning means 17, in most cases 9 × 15 × 15 = 2025 pieces of the ball simply by continuing the shooting operation. The direct profit that the player can expect compared to the opening pattern A can be expected to be greatly increased.

  The first and second special symbol display control means 56a and 56b control the display of the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b. The first special symbol processing means 54a or the second special symbol processing means 54b. Based on the special symbol processing by, the first special symbol display means 23a or the second special symbol display means 23b starts to change the first and second special symbols and is selected by the first and second fluctuation pattern selection means 73a and 73b. The first and second special symbols of the stop symbols selected by the first and second special stop symbol selection means 72a and 72b based on the passage of the variation time corresponding to the first and second variation patterns. The fluctuation is stopped.

  The special gaming state generating means 57 is for generating a special gaming state advantageous to the player during a predetermined period after the occurrence of the special profit state, and includes a short time state generating means 57a and a high probability state generating means 57b. Yes.

  The short-time state generating means 57a has the jackpot determination random number value stored in the first and second special random number storage means 53a and 53b matches the jackpot determination value and the jackpot symbol random number value does not match the predetermined high probability determination value. In such a case, a short time state is generated as one of the special game states.

  In this embodiment, for example, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are set as the high probability determination values, and the jackpot symbol random number value matches any of the other 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 In some cases, a short time state is generated as a special game state.

  During the short-time state, the fluctuation time of the first and second special symbol display means 23a, 23b is switched to a shortened fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time for the first and second special symbols. Probability from normal probability (eg 1/10) to high probability (eg 1 / 1.3), change time from normal change time (eg 27 seconds) to reduced change time (eg 2.7 seconds), second special The opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing means 28 of the start port 27b is switched from a normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time opening) to a special opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times opening).

In addition, there are two types of time-short states with different durations, and as shown in FIG. 4, for example, the time-short state a that occurs when a big hit mode with either “0” or “2” is achieved. For example, when the first and second special symbols fluctuate 50 times, the time-short state b that occurs when, for example, a big hit mode with any of the symbols “4”, “6”, and “8” occurs is the first and second short states b. The special symbol is continuously ended until it changes 100 times.

  The high probability state generating means 57b is configured such that the jackpot determination random number stored in the first and second special random number storage sections 53a and 53b matches the jackpot determination value and the jackpot symbol random number is a predetermined high probability determination value, for example, 1 , 3, 5, 7 and 9, a high probability state is generated as one of the special gaming states.

  During the high probability state, the probability that the first and second special symbols will be a big hit mode is increased by increasing the number of jackpot judgment values from 1 to 10, for example, compared to other normal probability states. It is switched to a high probability (for example, 1/35) higher than (for example, 1/350), and at the same time, the same processing as in the time-short state is performed.

  When the first and second special start ports 27a and 27b detect game balls, the pre-determination means 58 determines the contents of the jackpot determination random number value acquired by the detection, and the jackpot determination random number value is , One that matches only the jackpot judgment value in the high probability state (hereinafter referred to as “high probability jackpot holding memory”), one that matches the jackpot judgment value in the normal probability state (hereinafter “normal probability jackpot holding memory”) ”), Which is not coincident with the jackpot determination value (hereinafter referred to as“ outgoing hold storage ”).

  The control command transmission means 59 is for transmitting a predetermined control command to the sub-control board side such as the effect control board 32 by one-way communication and giving a control command. The first and second special symbol processing means 54a, Based on the first and second special symbol processing by 54b, first and second variation pattern designation commands for designating the first and second variation patterns, and first and second for designating the first and second special stop symbols. Special stop symbol designation command, first and second variable stop designation commands for designating the stop of the first and second special symbols, etc., to the effect control board 32 side, the special game state generation means 57 of the special game state A function for transmitting a special game state generation command, a special game state end command, etc. to the effect control board 32 side according to the special game state at the time of occurrence and termination, based on the determination result by the prior determination means 58 In addition to the function of transmitting the first and second special reserved number designation commands for designating the first and second special reserved numbers to the effect control board 32 side, for example, based on various gaming states such as a special profit state, the image , A function of transmitting voice and lamp control commands to the effect control board 32 side, and the like.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the first and second special reserved number designation commands include four types of commands corresponding to the four reserved memories from the reserved 1 to the reserved 4, when the out-of-hold stored, normal probability Three sets are provided corresponding to the three types of jackpot holding memory and high probability jackpot holding memory.

  The effect control board 32 controls various effect means such as the first and second effect symbol display means 25a and 25b, the first and second special reserved number display means 26a and 26b, the sound output means 81 and the lamp means 82. It includes production symbol display control means 83, special reserved number display control means 84, gaming state determination means 85, command determination means 86, voice control means 87, lamp control means 88, and the like.

  The effect symbol display control means 83 controls the display of the first and second effect symbol display means 25a and 25b, and receives either the first or second variation pattern designation command from the main control board 31 side. In addition, on the display screen 21a of the image display device 21 based on the designated variation pattern, the variation of the first effect symbol or the second effect symbol is started, and the first variation stop designation command or the second variation stop designation command is issued. When the first special stop symbol designation command or the second special stop symbol designation command and the first variation pattern designation command or the second variation pattern designation command are received, 2 Variation of the effect design is stopped.

  The special reserved number display control means 84, the gaming state determination means 85, and the command determination means 86 constitute a notice effect control means 89 that performs a notice effect based on the determination result by the prior determination means 58.

  The gaming state determination unit 85 is configured to determine whether or not the special gaming state is in effect based on a special gaming state generation command, a special gaming state end command, or the like transmitted from the main control board 31.

  Based on the first and second special reserved number designation commands transmitted from the main control board 31, the command determining means 86 determines whether it is the first or second special reserved number designation command or how many. It is configured to determine whether it corresponds to the reserved memory of the eye, and whether the reserved memory is released and is the reserved memory, the normal probability jackpot stored memory, or the high probability jackpot stored memory.

  The special reserved number display control means 84 performs display control of the first and second special reserved number display means 26a and 26b based on the determination results of the gaming state determination means 85 and the command determination means 86. For example, FIG. The special hold number display control process as shown is configured to be executed for each periodic interruption performed at a minute time interval (for example, every 4 msec), for example. Note that this special reserved number display control process may be executed, for example, when a control command is received. As shown in FIG. 7, in the special reservation number display control process by the special reservation number display control means 84, for example, an increase time process (S1) and a decrease time process (S2) are executed.

  In the increase processing (S1), for example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, it is first determined whether or not either the first special reserved number designation command or the second special reserved number designation command has been received ( S11, S31). When it is determined that the second special symbol designation command has been received (S11: No → S31: Yes), a random number lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform a notice effect (S32), and a lottery result indicating that a notice effect is to be performed Is obtained, one second symbol Y is additionally displayed on the second special reserved number display means 26b in the notice display mode (S33: Yes → S34), and a lottery result indicating that the notice effect is not performed is displayed. If it is obtained, one second symbol Y is additionally displayed in a non-notice display mode (S33: No → S35).

  In the present embodiment, by displaying the first and second symbols X and Y in the notice display mode, whether the reserved memory is released, is the reserved memory, the normal probability jackpot reserved memory, or the high probability big jackpot reserved memory Is informed. The notice display mode may be any type as long as it can distinguish the type of reserved storage. For example, the color, size, pattern, shape, and the like of the first and second symbols X and Y may be different. In the embodiment, the colors of the first and second symbols X and Y are green (indicated by hatching in the drawing) for out-of-order storage, and yellow (shaded in the drawing) for normal probability jackpot storage. In the case of high-probability jackpot holding storage, it is red (shown in black in the drawing) (see FIG. 6).

  Further, the non-notice display mode is common to all of the off-hold hold memory, the normal probability jackpot hold memory, and the high probability jackpot hold memory. In this embodiment, this non-preview display mode is different from any of the notice display modes in white ( In the drawing, the display is shown in white (FIG. 6).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the first special symbol designation command has been received (S11: Yes), the big hit counter setting process (S12) is executed. In this jackpot counter setting process, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the value of the jackpot counter is not greater than 0 (S41: No), and the received first special pending number designation command corresponds to B411H to If it is any one of B414H and B421H to B424H corresponding to the high probability big jackpot (S42: Yes), the value of the first special reserved number at that time is set in the big jackpot counter (S43). For example, if the first special hold number designation command is B423H corresponding to hold 3, 3 is set.

  Here, the jackpot counter changes the first special symbol until the jackpot determination random number value is subjected to symbol variation when there is a jackpot determination random number value corresponding to the jackpot in the reserved memory on the first special symbol side. As shown in the jackpot counter setting process of FIG. 10, when the first special hold number designation command corresponding to the jackpot is received, the value of the first special hold number at that time is set. As shown in S51, S54 and S55 of the decreasing process (FIG. 11), 1 is subtracted every time the first special symbol fluctuates thereafter, and the value of this jackpot counter is larger than 0. The non-priority side jackpot hold until the jackpot determination random number determined by the prior determination means 58 to coincide with the jackpot determination value is subjected to the fluctuation of the first special symbol. It is between.

  In the present embodiment, if the value of the jackpot counter is greater than 0, that is, if it is already in the non-priority side jackpot holding period (S41: Yes in FIG. 10), it newly matches the jackpot determination value. Even if the jackpot determination random number value to be acquired is acquired, the processing of S43 is not executed, and therefore the new non-priority side jackpot holding period for the jackpot determination random number value does not proceed.

  In addition, when it is determined that the first special symbol designation command is received in S11 of FIG. 8 (S11: Yes), as in principle, the random number indicating whether or not the notice effect is performed as in the case of the second special symbol designation command. When a lottery result indicating that a notice effect is to be performed is obtained in the lottery (S16), one first symbol X is additionally displayed in a notice display mode on the first special reserved number display means 26a (S17: Yes → S18) When a lottery result indicating that the notice effect is not performed is obtained, the first symbol X is additionally displayed in a non-notice display form (S17: No → S14), but the special gaming state The following processing is exceptionally performed for the inside and the specific period.

  That is, first, in the special gaming state (S13: Yes), the first symbol X is forcibly displayed in a non-notice display mode (S14). Further, even during the normal game state other than during the special game state (S13: No), if it is during the specific period (S15: Yes), the received first special symbol designation command corresponds to the release hold storage. The following processing is performed depending on whether it is a thing corresponding to the jackpot holding storage.

  The specific period includes a non-priority jackpot holding period in which the value of the jackpot counter is greater than 0, and a variable period in which the first special symbol is a jackpot immediately after the non-priority jackpot holding period ends (hereinafter, non-priority jackpot holding). And a period of special profit status due to the jackpot of the first special symbol (hereinafter referred to as non-priority jackpot period).

  First, if the received first special symbol designation command is any one of B401H to B404H corresponding to the off-hold storage (S19: Yes), a random number lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform a notice effect (S23). When a lottery result indicating that an effect is to be obtained is obtained (S24: Yes), the first symbol X is a notice display mode different from the pre-determination result, that is, a normal probability jackpot memory and a high probability jackpot memory. When the lottery result indicating that the notice effect is not performed is obtained (S24: No), the first symbol X is not displayed. It is displayed in a notice display mode (S14).

  On the other hand, if the received first special symbol designation command is any one of B411H to B414H and B421H to B424H corresponding to the jackpot holding storage (S19: No), a random number lottery is performed to determine whether or not the notice effect is to be performed ( S20) When a lottery result indicating that the notice effect is to be performed is obtained (S21: Yes), the first symbol X is a notice display mode corresponding to the pre-determination result, that is, a normal probability big hit hold memory and a high probability. When a lottery result indicating that the notice effect is not performed is obtained (S22) (true notice effect) and displayed in the notice display mode corresponding to any of the jackpot hold storage (S21: No), One symbol X is displayed in a non-notice display mode (S14).

  Here, in the present embodiment, a false notice is given to the probability that a lottery result indicating that a notice effect will be performed in S23 is obtained, that is, a judgment result that does not coincide with the jackpot judgment value during the normal gaming state and during a specific period. A true notice effect is performed with respect to the probability of performing the effect and the probability of obtaining a lottery result for performing the notice effect in S20, that is, a determination result that matches the jackpot determination value in the normal gaming state and during a specific period. The probability is set to be substantially the same.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, during the specific period, the received first special symbol designation command is one of B401H to B404H corresponding to the off-hold storage (S19: Yes) or not (S19). : No) has substantially the same probability, and the first symbol X is displayed in either the non-precaution display mode or the jackpot display mode (S22, S25).

  As described above, depending on the display mode of the first and second symbols X and Y on the first and second special reserved number display means 26a and 26b, the release hold storage, the normal probability big hit hold storage, the high probability big hit hold An example of a notice effect is to notify the player by distinguishing the type of memory.

  In the decrease processing (S2), for example, as shown in FIG. 11, first, whether or not the fluctuation of either the first special symbol or the second special symbol has started, that is, for example, the first fluctuation pattern designation command and the second It is determined whether or not any of the variation pattern designation commands has been received (S51, S52). When it is determined that the variation of the second special symbol has started (S51: No → S52: Yes), the second symbol Y displayed on the second special reserved number display means 26b is shifted forward one by one. (S53).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the variation of the first special symbol has started (S51: Yes), after 1 is subtracted from the value of the jackpot counter on condition that the value of the jackpot counter is greater than 0 (S54: Yes → S55), the first symbols X displayed on the first special reserved number display means 26a are shifted forward one by one (S56).

  The audio control unit 87 performs audio output control of the audio output unit 81 such as a speaker, and outputs a predetermined sound effect or the like from the audio output unit 81 based on an audio control command from the main control board 31 side. It has become. The lamp control means 88 controls the display of the lamp means 82 and the like, and causes the lamp means 82 and the like to emit light in a predetermined pattern based on a lamp control command from the main control board 31 side.

  In this pachinko machine as described above, the opening / closing pattern (normal opening / closing pattern) of the second special start port 27b in the normal gaming state is, for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time. As compared with winning in the starting port 27a, the winning number in the second special starting port 27b is very small. Therefore, most of the special symbol variation is the variation of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display means 23a.

  In the case of a change in the first special symbol by the first special symbol display means 23a, a special profit state occurs if the stop symbol after the change becomes a big hit mode, and the big winning means 17 is released according to any of the opening patterns A and B. To do. Here, when the release pattern B is selected, the operation of closing on the condition that 28 seconds have passed after the big winning means 17 is released or 9 game balls have been won by that time is performed for 15 rounds. Therefore, the player can easily obtain a large amount of prize balls. However, when the release pattern A is selected, the player performs only two rounds of the release operation for 0.2 seconds. Almost no prize ball can be obtained.

  When the special profit state ends, either a high probability state or a short time state a or b occurs as a special game state over a predetermined period. During the special game state, whether it is a high probability state or a short time state a, b, the open / close pattern of the second special start port 27b is a special open / close pattern of 2 seconds × 3 times, and the normal symbol is Since the winning probability is high and the variation time is shortened, the winning probability to the second special start port 27b is remarkably increased as compared with the normal gaming state. In addition, when both the first special reserved number and the second special reserved number are 1 or more, the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 23b is prioritized over the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 23a. .

  In this way, during the special game state, since the game ball that has been launched wins the second special start opening 27b with a high probability, if the player continues to fire as it is, the second special reserve number on the priority side is easily maintained. Thus, the symbol variation on the first special symbol side can be prevented, and if the player interrupts the launch, the symbol variation on the first special symbol side can be performed after the second special reserved number is lost. That is, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, during the special game state, the player can switch the continuation / interruption of the launch operation so that the player can maintain / digest the reserved memory of the first special symbol display means 23a on the non-priority side to some extent. It is possible to control.

  In addition, during the special game state, for example, most of the symbol changes in the second special symbol by the second special symbol display means 23b, but the stop symbol after the change in the symbol variation of the second special symbol becomes a big hit mode. When the special profit state occurs, the release pattern B is always selected, so that the player can easily obtain a large amount of prize balls.

  When the special game state occurs and ends, a special game state generation command and a special game state end command are transmitted from the main control board 31 side to the effect control board 32 side, and the game state determination means 85 on the effect control board 32 side. Determines whether or not it is in a special gaming state based on those commands.

  When the first special start port 27a or the second special start port 27b detects a game ball, the jackpot determination random number value acquired thereby is pre-determined by the pre-determination means 58 at the time of acquisition, and the jackpot at the normal probability It is determined whether the stored memory or the jackpot stored memory at the high probability, and based on the determination result, the first special reserved number designation command or the second special reserved number is sent from the control command transmitting means 59 to the effect control board 32 side. The specified command is sent.

  When the production control board 32 receives the first special reserved number designation command or the second special reserved number designation command, the command determination means 86 determines whether it is the first or second special reserved number designation command. A determination is made as to what number of reserved memory is stored and whether the reserved memory is out of hold memory, normal probability jackpot pending memory, or high probability jackpot pending memory.

  If it is determined by the command determination means 86 that the first special reserved number designation command has been received (S11: Yes in FIG. 8), the special game state is not being established (S13: No in FIG. 8), and the specific period If not (S15 in FIG. 8: No), if the lottery result indicating that the notice effect is to be performed is obtained in the random lottery (S16 in FIG. 8) (S21: Yes in FIG. 8), the first special reserved number display One additional symbol (notice display mode) of the first symbol X corresponding to the type of out-holding storage, normal probability jackpot storage, and high probability jackpot storage is displayed on the means 26a (S18 in FIG. 8). ), If the lottery result indicating that the announcement effect is to be performed is not obtained (S21 in FIG. 8: No), the first symbol X is displayed in a non-notice display mode regardless of the type of the reserved storage (S14 in FIG. 8). ).

  For example, even if the received first special hold number designation command is B411H (FIG. 6) corresponding to the normal probability big hit hold storage, a lottery result indicating that the notice effect is performed in the random lottery (S16 in FIG. 8) is obtained. Otherwise, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the first symbol X is displayed in white (white in the drawing) which is a non-notice display mode, so that the player corresponds to the jackpot of the reserved memory You cannot know whether it is a thing.

  When the first special reserved number designation command is received (S11: Yes in FIG. 8), the jackpot counter setting process (S12 in FIG. 8) is executed, and the jackpot counter value is not larger than 0 (FIG. 8). 10 (S41: No), if the received first special hold number designation command is any one of B411H to B414H corresponding to the normal probability jackpot and B421H to B424H corresponding to the high probability jackpot (FIG. 10). S42: Yes), the value of the first special hold number at that time is set in the jackpot counter (S43 in FIG. 10), and the non-priority side jackpot hold period is set.

  For example, in the case of FIG. 12A, since the received first special hold number designation command is B411H corresponding to the jackpot hold memory at the normal probability, the jackpot counter is set to 1, and the non-priority side jackpot hold period ( The specific period is started, but the first symbol X is displayed in a non-notice display mode, so that the player has started the specific period, that is, the jackpot determination random number corresponding to the jackpot has been stored. I can't know.

  When the value of the jackpot counter becomes greater than 0 (non-priority side jackpot holding period in a specific period) (S15: Yes in FIG. 8), regardless of the type of the received first special symbol designation command (FIG. 8). S19), the first symbol X is displayed in either the non-pre-notice display mode or the jackpot notice display mode (S22, S25 in FIG. 8). Therefore, not only when the first symbol X is displayed in the non-precaution display mode as shown in FIG. 12B, but also when the first symbol X is displayed in the notification display mode corresponding to the jackpot as shown in FIG. The person cannot know the true contents of the reserved memory.

  In addition, for example, during the specific period, it is conceivable that the first symbol X is always displayed in a non-notice display mode for the reserved memory on the first special symbol side. When it is displayed in the form, it becomes clear that all the previous reserved memories do not correspond to the jackpot. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the first symbol X is displayed in a jackpot notice display mode with a predetermined probability regardless of the contents of the reserved memory even during a specific period, and therefore corresponds to the jackpot during the previous reserved memory. The player will not know if there is any.

  Note that during the specific period, even if the received first special pending number designation command is any one of B411H to B414H corresponding to the normal probability jackpot and B421H to B424H corresponding to the high probability jackpot, the jackpot counter The value is not updated (S41 in FIG. 10: Yes). In the case of FIG. 12C, even if the received first special reserved number designation command is B423H, for example, the value of the jackpot counter remains 1 and does not change.

  Thereafter, the symbol variation of the first special symbol is completed (FIG. 12D), and for example, a first variation pattern designation command is transmitted from the main control board 31 to the effect control substrate 32 side, and the next symbol according to the first special symbol is transmitted. When the change is started (FIG. 12E), the first special reserved number display means 26a displayed on the first special reserved number display means 26a is controlled by the special reserved number display control means 84 that has received the first change pattern designation command. The symbol X is shifted forward by one, and if the value of the jackpot counter is greater than 0, the value of the jackpot counter is decremented by 1 (S51: Yes → S54: Yes → S55 → S56 in FIG. 11). . In the case of FIG. 12E, the value of the jackpot counter is subtracted by 1 and becomes 0. That is, the non-priority side jackpot holding period ends here because the first special symbol change corresponding to the normal probability jackpot holding memory is started.

  Non-priority side jackpot fluctuation period (for example, FIGS. 12 (e) to (f)) which is the fluctuation period of the first special symbol corresponding to the normal probability jackpot holding memory, and the period of the special profit state after the fluctuation Since the non-priority side jackpot period (for example, FIGS. 12 (f) to (g)) is also a specific period, the processing related to the display of the first symbol X when the first special reserved number designation command is received is the non-priority process up to that point. Same as side jackpot holding period.

  It should be noted that the player knows for the first time that the player has been in a specific period until the big win is reached due to the symbol variation of the first special symbol. If it is configured to perform only the fake notice effect when performing the notice effect for the reserved memory on the first special symbol side during the specific period, it becomes a big hit mode due to the symbol variation of the first special symbol At that time, it becomes clear that the notice effect produced during the specific period is a fake notice effect. In this regard, in the present embodiment, during the specific period, not only the false notice effect but also the true notice effect may appear when performing the notice effect on the reserved memory on the first special symbol side. Even if the special symbol pattern changes to a big hit mode, the player cannot specify whether the notice effect that appeared during the specified period is a true notice effect or a false notice effect.

  When a high probability state (special game state) occurs after the end of the non-priority side jackpot period (FIG. 12G), during the high probability state, as shown in FIG. The second symbol Y displayed corresponding to the designated command is in a notice display mode when a lottery result indicating that a notice effect is to be performed is obtained (S33: Yes in FIG. 9) (S34 in FIG. 9). The first symbol X displayed in response to the first special reserved number designation command is always in a non-notice display mode (S13: Yes → S14 in FIG. 8).

  As described above, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, during the special game state, the non-priority side jackpot determination random number value acquired when the first special symbol starting unit 27a detects the game ball is notified by the notice effect control unit 89. The non-priority jackpot determination random number value determined to match the jackpot determination value by the prior determination means 58 is used for the fluctuation of the first special symbol during the normal gaming state. During a specific period including the non-priority side jackpot holding period up to the non-priority side jackpot determination random number value determined not to match the jackpot determination value by the pre-determination means 58, the jackpot determination is performed with a predetermined probability. A false announcement effect indicating that the value matches the value, and the non-priority jackpot determination random number value determined to match the jackpot determination value by the prior determination means 58 Since it is configured to perform a true notice effect that matches the jackpot determination value with a predetermined probability, even if a notice effect is performed for the reserved memory on the first special symbol side during a specific period, When it is not possible to conclude that all previous reserved memories related to the first special symbol are out of place, and when a random value corresponding to the jackpot is stored as the reserved memory on the first special symbol side during the specified period , Even if a symbol change occurs for the random value corresponding to the previous jackpot and a special profit state occurs, the player cannot know the contents of each subsequent stored memory on the first special symbol side. Technical intervention is not possible.

  In addition, in the normal gaming state and during a specific period, the probability of performing a false notice effect for the judgment result that does not match the jackpot judgment value and the true notice for the judgment result that matches the jackpot judgment value Because the probability of performing the performance is set to be substantially the same, when the first special symbol side changes to the big win mode due to the symbol variation, the jackpot in the case where the jackpot notice effect is performed for the subsequent reserved memory Can be made substantially the same as the possibility of being a big hit when no notice effect is performed.

  13 and 14 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. Note that the present embodiment is the same as the first embodiment with respect to the configuration of parts not particularly mentioned in the following description.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the display mode of the first and second symbols X and Y is, for example, green (hatched in the drawing) out-of-order display corresponding to out-hold storage as in the first embodiment. For example, yellow (shaded on the drawing) normal probability jackpot display mode corresponding to the normal probability jackpot holding memory, and red (black on the drawing) corresponding to the high probability jackpot holding memory, for example. Three types of notice display modes are set, which are the probability jackpot display mode, but unlike the first embodiment, the non-preview display mode is set to, for example, green, which is common to the off display mode.

  In the first and second special hold number designation commands, the selection rate in which the selection rate of each display mode is set for each type (out-hold hold memory, normal probability big hit hold memory, high probability big hit hold memory) A table is provided in advance. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, for the first special reserved number designation command, the selection rate table A1, which is used at times other than during the specific period in the normal gaming state, the specific period in the normal gaming state There are three types, a selection rate table A2 used in the middle and a selection rate table A3 used in the special gaming state, and the selection used in all gaming states for one second special reserved number designation command. Only rate table B is provided.

  FIG. 14 shows a processing procedure of an increase time process (S1 in FIG. 7) during the special reserved number display control process by the special reserved number display control means 84. In this increase processing, as in the first embodiment, it is first determined whether or not either the first special reserved number designation command or the second special reserved number designation command has been received (S11, S31). When it is determined that the first special reserve number designation command has been received (S11: Yes), the jackpot counter setting process (S12) is executed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and whether or not the special game state is in effect. (S13) and whether it is during the specific period (S14).

  And when it is not in a special game state and not in a specific period (S13: No-> S14: No), the display mode of the 1st symbol X is selected based on the selection rate table A1 (S61). Here, in the selection rate table A1 (FIG. 13), for out-of-hold storage, the selection rate of the out-of-display mode is set to a high probability of 49/50, while the normal probability corresponding to the false notice display The selection rates of the time jackpot display mode and the high probability jackpot display mode are set to 1/100 and 1/100, respectively. In addition, for the normal probability jackpot holding memory and the high probability jackpot holding memory, the selection ratio between the normal probability jackpot display mode or the high probability jackpot display mode and the non-notice display mode is 1/2, 1/1 respectively. It is set to 2, and even if it is a jackpot storage at normal probability or a jackpot storage at high probability, the probability that a notice effect corresponding to a jackpot will appear is a half probability.

Therefore, for example, assuming that the jackpot probability is 1/300, if it is not in the special gaming state and not in the specific period, the probability of winning the jackpot when the off-display mode is selected for the non-priority side reserved memory is ((1/300) × (1/2)) / ((1/300) × 1/2) + (
(299/300) × (49/50)) = 1/587, whereas when the normal probability jackpot display mode is selected for the non-priority side reserved memory, the probability of jackpot is (
(1/300) × (1/2)) / ((1/300) × (1/2)) + ((299/300) × (1/50)) = 25/324, with normal probability In the case of the jackpot display mode, the possibility of a jackpot is very high.

  If the game is not in the special gaming state but in the specific period (S13: No → S14: Yes), the display mode of the first symbol X is selected based on the selection rate table A2 (S62). Here, in the selection rate table A2 (FIG. 13), the outage display mode, the normal probability jackpot display mode, the high probability time, regardless of the types of the missed hold memory, the normal probability jackpot hold memory, and the high probability jackpot hold memory The jackpot display mode is set to be selected with a probability of 49/50, 1/100, and 1/100, respectively.

  Therefore, during a specific period, no matter what display mode is selected for the non-priority side reserved storage, the probability of winning a jackpot is the same as the jackpot probability, for example 1/300, which is substantially a notice effect. It is not different from the case where no.

  On the other hand, when in the special gaming state (S13: Yes), the display mode of the first symbol X is selected based on the selection rate table A3 (S63). Here, the selection rate table A3 (FIG. 13) is set so that the non-notice display mode is always selected regardless of the types of out-hold storage, normal probability jackpot storage, and high probability jackpot storage. Yes. That is, during the special game state, the notice effect is not performed for the non-priority side reserved memory.

  If it is determined that the second special reserved number designation command has been received (S11: No → S31: Yes), the display mode of the second symbol Y is selected based on the selection rate table B (S64). . Here, the selection rate table B (FIG. 13), for example, is the same as the selection rate table A1 on the first special reserved number designation command side, and the selection rate of the outage display mode is as high as 49/50 for outage hold storage. While the probability is set, the selection rates of the normal probability jackpot display mode and the high probability jackpot display mode corresponding to the false notice display are set to 1/100 and 1/100, respectively, and the normal probability For jackpot holding memory, high probability jackpot holding memory, the selection rate between the normal probability jackpot display mode or the high probability jackpot display mode and the non-notice display mode is set to 1/2, 1/2 respectively. Yes.

  In other words, there is a possibility that a preliminary announcement effect is always performed for the hold storage on the priority side, and a false notice display may appear, but in the case of a normal probability jackpot display mode or a high probability jackpot display mode The potential for a big hit is very high.

  When the display mode of the first symbol X or the second symbol Y is selected in S61 to S64, the first symbol is displayed on the first special reserved number display means 26a or the second special reserved number display means 26b in the selected display mode. X or the second symbol Y is displayed (S65).

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, even if a notice effect is performed for the reserved memory on the first special symbol side during a specific period, the notice effect may be a fake notice effect. (Table A2 in FIG. 13), it is not possible to conclude that all previous reserved memories related to the first special symbol are out of date, and as a reserved memory on the first special symbol side during a specific period When random numbers corresponding to jackpots are stored, even if a special profit state occurs due to random changes corresponding to the previous jackpot, regardless of the content of the notice effect for the subsequent reserved memory, On the other hand, the possibility of winning a jackpot is 1/300, which is the same as the probability of hitting the jackpot, and is substantially the same as when the notice effect is not performed. To know Can not, the player of the technology intervention is not possible.

As in the first embodiment, this embodiment also has a probability of performing a false notice effect for a determination result that does not match the jackpot determination value during the normal gaming state and during a specific period, and a jackpot determination value. The probability that a true notice effect will be performed with respect to the determination result that matches is set to be the same (selection rate table A2 in FIG. 13), and the first special symbol side symbol variation becomes a big hit mode The possibility of a jackpot when a jackpot notice effect is performed for the subsequent stored memory is the same as the possibility of a jackpot when the notice effect is not performed.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, in the normal gaming state and during a specific period, the probability of performing a false notice effect for the determination result that does not match the jackpot determination value and the determination result that matches the jackpot determination value The probability of performing a true notice effect is set to be approximately the same, but may be set to a different value.

  Further, during the normal gaming state and during a specific period, either a false notice effect or no notice effect may be performed, and a true notice effect may not be performed. However, in this case, since the announcement effect performed during the specific period is always a false announcement effect, when the special profit state occurs when the symbol change occurs for the random value corresponding to the previous jackpot There is a drawback that it becomes clear that the reserved memory for which the jackpot notice effect was performed during the specific period is the reserved memory that is out of place.

  As shown in the embodiment, the specific period should be a period that is a combination of the non-priority side jackpot holding period, the non-priority side jackpot fluctuation period immediately thereafter, and the non-priority side jackpot period immediately thereafter. However, if it is impossible or difficult to recognize the non-priority side jackpot fluctuation period and the non-priority side jackpot period on the sub control board side, the non-priority side jackpot fluctuation period and the non-priority side jackpot period It is also possible to exclude at least one from the specific period.

  In addition, the priority side jackpot holding period until the priority side jackpot determination random number value determined to coincide with the jackpot determination value by the prior determination unit 58 during the specific period is subjected to the change of the second special symbol, and the prior determination unit 58 is determined to match the jackpot determination value by the pre-determination means 58 and the variation period of the second special symbol based on the priority side jackpot determination random value determined to match the jackpot determination value by 58 (hereinafter referred to as priority side jackpot variation period). And the period of the special profit state after the change of the second special symbol based on the priority side jackpot determination random number value (hereinafter, priority side jackpot period) may be included. Even if comprised in this way, the effect similar to embodiment can be anticipated. Also in this case, for example, if it is impossible or difficult to recognize the priority side jackpot variation period or the priority side jackpot period on the sub-control board side, at least the priority side jackpot variation period and the priority side jackpot period are not included. One can be excluded from the specific period.

  In the embodiment, the non-notice display mode is set to be different from any of the display modes corresponding to the notice display mode, that is, the off-hold storage, the normal probability jackpot hold memory, and the high probability jackpot hold memory. The display mode may be set to the same display mode as the display mode corresponding to the off-hold storage.

  The notice effect performed by the notice effect control unit 89 may be any one that is performed based on the prior determination result by the prior determination unit 58, and the first and second special reserved numbers according to the prior determination result as in the embodiment. In addition to different display modes of the first and second symbols X and Y on the display means 26a and 26b, a predetermined notice image is displayed on the display screen 21a or the like in accordance with the prior determination result, and in accordance with the prior determination result To change the background image of the display screen 21a, or to output a specific sound or activate a specific movable body when a jackpot determination random number corresponding to the jackpot is acquired, for example, according to a prior determination result Etc. Further, the timing for performing the notice effect and the period thereof are also arbitrary. For example, it may be temporarily performed at the time of detection of the game ball by the first and second special symbol starting means 27a and 27b or at a predetermined timing thereafter. You may make it carry out continuously or intermittently until the pending | holding memory | storage corresponding to the prior determination is provided to a design fluctuation like embodiment.

  The prior determination means 58 may determine not only the jackpot determination random number value but also other contents such as the jackpot symbol random number value according to the content of the notice effect. The contents determined by the pre-determination means 58 regarding the jackpot symbol random number value include, for example, a high probability jackpot (which is in a high probability state after a jackpot such as the usual 15 rounds, and in FIG. 4, the jackpot symbol disorder on the first special symbol side Whether the value is 5, 7, 9, corresponding to jackpot symbol random value 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 on the second special symbol side, normal probability jackpot (ordinary time after big jackpot such as 15 rounds) In FIG. 4, the jackpot symbol random number values 4, 6, and 8 on the first special symbol side correspond to the jackpot symbol random number values 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 on the second special symbol side). Or the so-called suddenness (which is a high probability state after two rounds of jackpot where almost no winning ball can be obtained, corresponding to jackpot symbol random number values 1 and 3 in FIG. 4A). Time (2 rounds with almost no prize balls Of those a time reduction state after the jackpot, such as whether the FIGS. 4 (a) in response to a jackpot symbol random number 0,2) are considered.

  Also, in a pachinko machine of a type that draws so-called small hits (those that are opened for a short time in the same pattern as the case where the big winning means is abrupt) based on the big hit determination random number value, the prior determination means 58 has a big hit determination random value. It may be configured to determine whether or not a small hit is made based on the above.

  What is necessary is just to comprise the 1st, 2nd special reservation number designation | designated command so that the arbitrary information regarding each holding storage can be distinguished according to the content of the notice effect. For example, in the case of configuring to perform different effects, for example, different instruction effects display, in the case of the hold memory corresponding to the jackpot mode that becomes the normal probability state and the case of the hold memory corresponding to the jackpot mode that becomes the high probability state The first and second special reserve number designation commands can be distinguished not only from the three types of miss hold memory, normal probability jackpot hold memory, and high probability jackpot hold memory, but also based on the jackpot symbol random number value. What is necessary is just to comprise so that it can distinguish whether it is the pending | holding memory | storage corresponding to the jackpot which will be in a probability state.

  In the embodiment, when the symbol variation by the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b is newly started and the first and second special reserved numbers decrease, the special reserved number display control means 84 The first and second special reserved number display means are provided on the condition that the first and second variation pattern designation commands transmitted from the main control board 31 are received when the symbol variation is started by the first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b. Although the display of 26a, 26b is configured to be updated, for example, a command specifying the first and second special reserved numbers after reduction is provided, and the first and second special reserved numbers are provided on the condition that the command is received. You may comprise so that the display of the display means 26a, 26b may be updated.

  In the embodiment, the first special random number creation processing means 51a on the first special symbol display means 23a side and the second special random number creation processing means 51b on the second special symbol display means 23b side are provided separately, and the big hit determination random number, big hit The random numbers such as the design random numbers and the variation pattern selection random numbers are all generated separately by the first and second special random number generation processing means 51a and 51b. At least a part of a random number or the like may be shared between the two first and second special symbol display means 23a and 23b.

  The second special symbol starting means 27b may be a movable winning means that is less likely to win a game ball in the normal gaming state than in the special gaming state compared to the special gaming state. It may be a ceremony or a withdrawal ceremony.

  Regarding the gameability of the ball game machine, when both the first and second special reserve numbers are 1 or more, the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 23b is more than the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 23a. What is necessary is just to be comprised so that it may carry out preferentially, and other playability is arbitrary.

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

23a first special symbol display means 23b second special symbol display means 27a first special start port (first special symbol start means)
27b Second special start port (second special symbol start means)
53a First special random number storage means 53b Second special random number storage means 55 Special profit state generation means 57 Special game state generation means 58 Preliminary determination means 89 Advance effect control means

Accordingly, the present invention provides a first special symbol starting means 27a capable of detecting a game ball, a first jackpot determination random number value obtained based on the first special symbol starting means 27a detecting a gaming ball, and a first First special symbol display means 23a for variably displaying the first special symbol based on the jackpot symbol random number value, the first jackpot determination random number value and the first jackpot symbol random number value as the first special symbol display means 23a. A first special random number storage means 53a for storing a predetermined upper limit number until it is subjected to symbol fluctuation by the second, a second special symbol start means 27b capable of detecting a game ball, and the second special symbol start means 27b. Second special symbol display means 23b for variably displaying a second special symbol based on a second jackpot determination random number value and a second jackpot symbol random value acquired based on detecting a game ball; Second special random number storage means 53b for storing the jackpot determination random number value and the second jackpot symbol random number value up to a predetermined upper limit number until they are subjected to symbol variation by the second special symbol display means 23b; Either the first jackpot determination random number value stored in one special random number storage means 53a or the second jackpot determination random number value stored in the second special random number storage means 53b matches a predetermined jackpot determination value. Based on this, a special profit state is generated when the stop symbol after the change of any of the first special symbol display means 23a and the second special symbol display means 23b becomes a predetermined jackpot mode. Special profit state generating means 55 and special game state generating means 57 for generating a special gaming state for a predetermined period after the occurrence of the special profit state, the second special symbol start The stage 27b is constituted by a movable winning means having a lower possibility of winning a game ball in the normal gaming state other than the special gaming state compared to the special gaming state, and the first special symbol display means 23a. And the second special symbol display means 23b do not start the other symbol fluctuation, and the first jackpot determination random number value stored in the first special random number storage means 53a does not start. When the first special reserve number that is the number and the second special reserve number that is the number of the second jackpot determination random number value stored in the second special random number storage means 53b are both 1 or more, In the bullet ball game machine configured to prioritize the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 23b over the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 23a, the first special reserved number and the second special reservation number Hold number Special number of holds display unit 26a, and 26b, when the first special symbol starting means 27a detects a game ball, and the jackpot determination value acquired first jackpot determining random number by the detection of displaying bets It can be determined whether or not they match, and when the second special symbol starting means 27b detects a game ball, the second jackpot determination random number obtained by the detection matches the jackpot determination value. whether the pre-judging means 58 that can determine, a prediction effect control means 89 capable of performing the prediction effect in Jo Tokoro probability on the basis of a determination result by the pre determining means 58, the announcement attraction control means 89 By displaying at least one of the first special reserved number and the second special reserved number in a predetermined notice effect mode by the special reserved number display means 26a, 26b. Whether to perform the announcement attraction, the configured not to perform prediction effect by displaying a non-predictive display mode, the in special game state, the announcement attraction control with respect to the second jackpot determining random values preferential Although not prohibited announcement attraction by means 89, more said non notification to the informational display control means 89 with respect to the non-priority side of the first jackpot determining random number value acquired at the time of the game ball detection by the first special symbol starting means 27a It is configured to prohibit the announcement attraction by displaying in a display manner.
