  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is a kind of gaming machine, when a specific derivation result is derived in a variation game (so-called symbol variation game), a gaming state is generated when the special winning means is opened and closed. Also, some pachinko machines have a high probability that a specific derivation result is derived after the end of the hit gaming state (so-called probability variation state), or the execution of a variable game than usual Some grant a privilege such as a state in which acquisition of the right is easy (so-called short-running state or improved entrance rate). In the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, a game ball is entered into a winning means called a chance attacker during a winning game state. After that, depending on whether the game ball entered into the chance attacker entered into one of the plurality of entrances formed in the rotating role, whether or not a privilege such as a probable change state is given, The contents of the privilege are determined. And when grant of a privilege is determined, a privilege is provided with completion | finish of a hit game state.

JP 2008-237643 A (paragraphs [0057] to [0058], FIG. 10)

  By the way, in such a gaming machine, after a big hit game, in a variable game, depending on whether or not the game ball has entered the entrance to which the probability variation state is imparted, that is, whether or not the probability variation state is imparted. An effect mode for specifying the effect contents has been set. That is, when the probability variation state is given, the probability variation mode is set, and when the probability variation state is not given, the time reduction mode is set. For this reason, it becomes easy to understand the presence or absence of the probability variation state, and it is difficult to improve the interest when the probability variation state is not given.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine that gives a sense of expectation to which a certain probability change state is given and improves the interest of the game.

  A gaming machine that solves the above-mentioned problems is a lottery means for performing a lottery for a variable game triggered by a game ball entering the starting prize opening, and a special prize opening is open when the winning lottery is won. The winning probability of the winning lottery after the end of the winning game is increased from the normal probability to the winning game granting means for granting the winning game and the game ball entering the bonus granting port during the winning game. A probability change granting means for giving a probability change state to be changed to, and an effect mode determining means for determining an effect mode for specifying the effect mode of the game effect. When there is a special hit game that makes it easy for a ball to enter and a normal hit game that makes it difficult for a game ball to enter the privilege granting port, and when the special hit game is given, the effect mode determining means After the game is finished As the production mode for specifying, while determining the high expectation mode indicating that the probability variation state is highly likely to be given, when the normal winning game is given, after the winning game is finished, The gist of the present invention is to determine a low expectation mode indicating that the probability variation state is unlikely to be given as the mode.

  In the above gaming machine, the start winning opening includes a first starting winning opening and a second starting winning opening, and the floating game is triggered by a game ball entering the first starting winning opening. There is a first variable game that is executed and a second variable game that is executed when the game ball enters the second start winning opening, and the game ball enters the first start winning opening. As a result, the first reserved memory number indicating the first variable game number that has been suspended is updated and stored, and the game ball enters the second start winning opening. Storage means for updating and storing a second reserved memory number indicating a second variable game number for which execution is suspended; and after the winning game is over, the game ball is moved from the normal state to the second start winning opening. A rate-of-improvement state giving means for giving a rate-of-improvement state that makes it easier to enter the ball, The lottery means is configured to perform a lottery for the second variable game when the second reserved memory number exists, and to perform a lottery for the first variable game when the first reserved memory number exists. When the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number exist, the winning lottery of the second variable game is preferentially performed. When winning the winning lottery of the second variable game, the special winning game is more easily given compared to winning the winning lottery of the first changing game, while the winning lottery of the first changing game is won. In the case of winning, the normal winning game may be more easily given compared to the case where the winning lottery of the second variable game is won.

In the gaming machine, the special winning game may include a special winning game in which the content of the effect of the winning game is the same as that of the normal winning game.
In the above gaming machine, after the high expectation mode or the low expectation mode is determined as the effect mode by the effect mode determination means, if the probability change state is given, the probability change state is confirmed. You may make it provide the production | presentation control means which controls an effect execution means so that the probability change fixed production to alert | report may be performed.

  In the above gaming machine, the game machine further comprises an entry rate improvement state giving means for giving an entry rate improvement state that makes it easier for a game ball to enter the start winning opening after the winning game than in a normal state. The rate improvement state giving means may vary the number of variable games that give the entrance rate improvement state after completion of the winning game depending on whether or not the game ball has entered the privilege granting port.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that a certain probability change state is given and to improve the interest of the game.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a game board YB. The pachinko gaming machine is provided with a launch handle HD, and when the launch handle HD is rotated, a game ball is launched onto the game board YB.

  The game board YB is provided with a first special symbol display device 11 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In the first special symbol display device 11, a variation game (special symbol variation game) is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols (special symbols) are varied and displayed. In the present embodiment, the variable game played on the first special symbol display device 11 may be simply referred to as “first variable game”. The game board YB is provided with a second special symbol display device 12 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In the second special symbol display device 12, a variation game (special symbol variation game) is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the present embodiment, the variable game played on the second special symbol display device 12 may be simply referred to as “second variable game”. The first variation game and the second variation game are configured not to be executed at the same time.

  In the present embodiment, the first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12 select and select one special symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery from a plurality of types of special symbols. The special symbol is stopped and displayed when the variable game ends. The special symbol is classified into a jackpot symbol that can recognize a jackpot and a miss symbol that can recognize a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game.

  The game board YB is provided with an effect display device 13 for displaying images. In the effect display device 13, display effects related to the first variable game and the second variable game are performed. Specifically, a decorative design variation game in which a plurality of types of decorative symbols are varied in a plurality of columns is performed as the display effect.

The effect display device 13 is configured with a larger display area than the first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12, and the decorative symbol is displayed much larger than the special symbol. The For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination. The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result) by a decorative symbol. When the jackpot symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the player is given a jackpot game after the end of the variable game. On the other hand, when the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 are not of the same type, it is possible to recognize a deviation from the symbol combination. The symbol combination that can recognize the deviation is a symbol combination of the detachment symbol (result of the loss display).

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in each column of the effect display device 13 along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the variation game is started. When the variable game starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to change), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle symbol) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 13. ), The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed.

  In addition, on the effect display device 13, the symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12 is stopped and displayed. More specifically, a special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12 corresponds to a symbol combination by a decorative symbol that is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. For example, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12, the jackpot symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. Further, when the off symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11 or the second special symbol display device 12, the off symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function is provided. The probability variation function is a function that can give a probability variation state (probability variation state) in which the lottery probability of the big hit lottery is changed from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability after the big hit game ends. In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given until the probability variation end condition is satisfied. The probability variation state can be advantageous to the player because the lottery probability of the jackpot lottery fluctuates with high probability and the jackpot is likely to occur. In the present embodiment, during the jackpot game, when a game ball enters the bonus granting port 26, a probability change state as a bonus is given after the jackpot game ends.

  In the present embodiment, a function for shortening the variation time (hereinafter referred to as “variation”) is provided. The variable function is a function that can give a variable time shortening state (hereinafter, referred to as “variable state”) advantageous to the player after the big hit game ends. In the variable state, the fluctuation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result of the lottery per normal figure is shortened compared to when the variable state is not given (non-variable state). In the variable state, the probability of winning the normal lottery is higher in the variable state than in the non-variable state. In the variable state, when the lottery per normal map is won, the opening time of the open / close blades 18 based on the fact that one lottery per lot is won is longer than in the non-variable state. Also, during the variable state, the variation time of the variable game may be shortened compared to during the non-variable state, especially when the variation time of the variable game in which the off-line display result is stopped and displayed is shortened. There are many.

  In this embodiment, the variable state is given until the variable end condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, the variable game is executed a predetermined number of times). The variable speed state can be advantageous for the player because the opening / closing blade 18 operates favorably for the player and the rate of entering the second start winning opening 16 per unit time is improved. From the above, in the variable speed state, a state in which the ball entering rate to the second start winning opening 16 of the game ball is improved than usual is given. It should be noted that the shortened state (entrance rate improved state) can be imparted even during the probable state.

  Next, the jackpot game in this embodiment will be described. This jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is stopped and displayed in the variable game.

  The jackpot game is started after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable game and the game is finished. When the big hit game starts, the opening time is set. And in this opening time, the opening effect which shows the start of a big hit game is performed first. In addition, when the opening time ends, a round game in which the first grand prize opening 19 or the second big prize opening 22 is opened is performed a plurality of times up to a predetermined prescribed number of rounds. During a single round game, the first grand prize opening 19 or the second big prize opening 22 is opened and closed in a prescribed opening and closing mode unless the upper limit number of game balls are won. For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. In this embodiment, the big hit game is advantageous to the player because a chance to win a large number of prize balls can be obtained.

  Further, when the second grand prize winning port 22 is opened, the privilege granting port 26 may be opened. For this reason, when the 2nd big winning opening 22 is opened, a game ball can be made to enter into the privilege grant opening 26, and the chance that a probable change state is provided can be obtained.

  In round games, round effects are performed. When all round games are finished, an ending time is set. Also, during this ending time, an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is performed. When the ending time is over, the big hit game is over.

  In this embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from a plurality of types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. Then, which of the big hit games among a plurality of types of big hit games is determined according to the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) that is determined when the big hit lottery is won.

  “Ratio” indicates the ratio at which each big hit game is awarded. The “game state at the time of winning” indicates the presence / absence of a probable change state and the presence / absence of a change state when winning a big hit. In this embodiment, when the probability variation state and the variation state are not assigned, “low accuracy + no variation” is indicated, and when the probability variation state is not imparted and the variation state is imparted, “low “Accuracy + variation present” is indicated, and when the probability variation state and the variation state are given, “high accuracy + variation present” is indicated. In the present embodiment, there is no state in which the probability change state is given and the change state is not given.

  The “specified R number” indicates the number of round games in one big hit game. Further, “entering the privilege granting port” indicates whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26 during the big hit game (that is, whether or not it has been detected by the privilege sensor SE5). The “probability change state after winning” indicates whether or not the probability change state is given after the big hit game ends. In the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the privilege grant port 26, the probability variation state is granted until the variable game is executed 120 times.

  The “number of times of change after hit” indicates how long the change state given after the big hit game ends. Note that “120 times” indicates that the game is given until the number of times the variable game is executed. In addition, “100 times” indicates that the game is given until the number of times of the variable game is executed. In the present embodiment, when a big hit game is awarded, a variable state is always given.

  FIG. 7 shows the timing at which the privilege grant port 26 is opened and closed in the fourth round game of each jackpot game. As shown in FIG. 7, in the round game of the fourth round, the privilege grant opening 26 is opened for 3 seconds, then closed for 2 seconds, and then opened for 25 seconds. In addition, when the end condition of the round game of the fourth round is satisfied (that is, when the upper limit number of game balls entered or when the second big prize opening 22 is opened and closed in a prescribed opening / closing manner), Since the round game of the 4th round is ended, it is ended halfway and closed.

  And since the time when the privilege grant opening 26 is first opened in the fourth round is short (3 seconds), the possibility of entering the ball during this period is low. Therefore, in the big hit game (for example, big hit ZC, big hit ZG, big hit ZH) in which the second big prize opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds and the round game of the fourth round is finished, The possibility of game balls entering is low. On the other hand, since the time when the privilege grant opening 26 is opened for the second time is extremely long (25 seconds), the possibility of entering the ball during this time is high. For this reason, in the big hit game in which the second big winning opening 22 is opened for 25 seconds or 22 seconds, there is a high possibility that a game ball will enter the privilege grant opening 26.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, in the big hit game, it can be said that there is a special hit game in which the game ball easily enters the privilege granting port 26 and a normal hit game in which the game ball is difficult to enter the privilege granting port 26. . The big hits ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb are special hit games in which the game balls can easily enter the privilege granting port 26. Further, the big hit ZC, ZG, ZH becomes a normal hit game in which it is difficult for a game ball to enter the privilege grant opening 26.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when winning the big hit determination of the second floating game, a special win game is awarded as compared to winning the big hit determination of the first floating game. It can be said that it is easy. On the other hand, it can be said that when winning the big hit determination of the first variable game, it is easier to give the normal hit game than when winning the big hit determination of the second variable game.

  In the big hit ZA to the big hit ZC, the number of round games in which the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 is long open (open for 25 seconds or 22 seconds) is 7 rounds. In the big hit ZD to the big hit ZH, the number of round games in which the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 is long open is four rounds. Further, in the big hit Za, the number of round games in which the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 is long open is 16 rounds. Also, in the big hit Zb, the number of round games in which the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 is long open is four rounds. Then, in proportion to the number of round games that are long open, the number of expected winning prize balls in one big hit game increases.

  Further, since the big hit ZA and the big hit ZD have the same opening mode up to the fourth round, it can be noted whether the first big winning opening 19 is opened long in the round game of the fifth round. Similarly, since the big hit ZB and the big hit ZE have the same opening mode up to the fourth round, it can be noted whether the first big winning opening 19 is opened long in the round game of the fifth round. Similarly, since the big hit ZC and the big hit ZG have the same opening mode up to the fifth round, it can be noted whether the first big winning opening 19 is opened long in the round game of the sixth round. Similarly, since the big hit ZF and the big hit ZH have the same opening mode up to the third round, it can be noted whether the second big winning opening 22 is opened long in the round game of the fourth round.

  The big hit ZB, the big hit ZC, the big hit ZE, and the big hit ZG are in the middle of the fourth round (specifically, until the second big prize opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds), the first big prize opening 19 And since the opening mode of the 2nd big prize opening 22 is the same, it can have an expectation about whether the 2nd big prize opening 22 opens long after that, and can be made to pay attention. Similarly, the big hit ZF and the big hit ZH are until the middle of the fourth round (specifically, until the second big prize opening 22 is opened for 3 seconds), the first big prize opening 19 and the second big prize opening 22. Since the opening mode is the same, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the second big prize opening 22 is opened long. Also, as a result, in the special hit game (big hit ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb), the effect content of the big hit game is the same as the normal hit game (big hit ZC, ZG, ZH). It can be said that there is a special hit game (big hit ZB, ZE, ZF).

Next, a control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described based on FIG.
A main control board 30 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine 10 and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 executes processing related to the determination of the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 13 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display content is controlled according to the processing result.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A first start sensor SE1, a second start sensor SE2, a first count sensor SE3, a second count sensor SE4, and a privilege sensor SE5 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The first special symbol display device 11 and the second special symbol display device 12 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. Actuators ACT1 to ACT4 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. In addition, the gate sensor SE6, the first hold display device 27a, and the second hold display device 27b are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A normal symbol display device 28 is connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. Fluctuation patterns are game effects (display effects, etc.) from when a symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts variable display (the variable game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the variable game ends). It shows the pattern that becomes the base. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from when the special symbol starts to be variably displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the variation pattern in the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the content of the variation game (such as whether or not a big hit) from when the special symbol is started to be displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern that specifies a jackpot effect. In addition, the fluctuation pattern includes a deviation fluctuation pattern that specifies a deviation effect. Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern and the loss variation pattern. The jackpot effect is an effect in which the variable game is developed so that the symbol combination of the jackpot is finally stopped and displayed. The outlier effect is an effect in which the fluctuating game is developed so as to finally stop and display the off symbol combination.

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

  The main control RAM 30c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main probability change flag indicating whether or not a probability change state is given. The main control RAM 30c stores a main operation flag indicating whether or not a variable speed state (entrance rate improvement state) is given.

  In the main control board 30, various random numbers used as a hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number are generated. Incidentally, the random number for hit determination is a random number used for the big hit lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining a special symbol (type of jackpot game). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. The values that can be taken by the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are different for each classification of the out-of-range variation pattern and the big hit variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the sub-probability change flag indicating whether or not the probability change state is given is stored in the effect control RAM 31c. In addition, the effect control RAM 31c stores a sub-operation flag indicating whether or not the variable speed state (entrance rate improvement state) is given. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The effect display CPU 13 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and when various control commands are input, the display content of the effect display device 13 is controlled based on the effect control program.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a first hold determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 14. That is, in the first hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first detection signal output when the first start sensor SE1 detects the game ball is input. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the first hold storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified first hold storage number. Is determined to be less than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the first reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value is not reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the first variable game, and the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in a predetermined storage area. At that time, it is stored so that it can be recognized that it is a random value related to the first variable game and its acquisition order. Note that the main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the first reserved storage number based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of random values not yet used in the variable game). The main control CPU 30a then controls the first hold display device 27a to display the updated first hold memory number when the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c are updated and the first hold memory number changes. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating the first hold storage information such as the updated first hold storage number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the ball has not entered the first start winning opening 14), the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 16. A second hold determination is performed to determine whether or not. That is, in the second hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the second hold storage number based on the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c, and specifies the specified second hold storage number. Is determined to be less than the upper limit value (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the second reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  When the determination result of the second reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value has not been reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the second variable game, and stores the predetermined values in the main control RAM 30c. The obtained random number value is stored in the storage area. At that time, it is stored so that it is a random value related to the second variable game and its acquisition order can be recognized. Note that the main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the second reserved storage number based on the storage content of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of random values not yet used in the variable game). Then, when the stored contents of the main control RAM 30c are updated and the second reserved memory number changes, the main control CPU 30a controls the second reserved display device 27b to display the updated second reserved memory number. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating second hold storage information such as the updated second hold storage number. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first start sensor SE1 detects a game ball and the first reserved memory number does not reach the upper limit value, the start condition for the first variable game is satisfied. As a result, information (random value or the like) for executing the first variable game is stored. Similarly, when the second start sensor SE2 detects a game ball and the second reserved memory number does not reach the upper limit value, the start condition for the second variable game is satisfied, and the second Information (random number value etc.) for executing the variable game is stored.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
The main control CPU 30a specifies the second reserved memory number and determines whether or not the second reserved memory number is greater than “0” when the big hit game or the symbol variation game is not being performed.

  When the second reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a specifies the first reserved memory number and determines whether or not the first reserved memory number is larger than “0”. When the first reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when this determination result is affirmative (when the first number of stored memories> 0), the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the first variable game is satisfied, and the predetermined memory of the main control RAM 30c is stored. A value indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag stored in the area. In the present embodiment, when neither the big hit game nor the symbol variation game is being executed, when the second reserved memory number = 0 and the first reserved memory number> 0 (that is, The execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied when there is no second variation game that is suspended and there is a first variation game that is suspended.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a selects a random number value related to the first variable game executed first in accordance with the acquisition order among the random value values related to the first variable game (used for the first variable game) ( A random number for hit determination, a random number for fluctuation pattern distribution, and a random number for special symbol distribution). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest acquired random number value that is related to the first variable game and that has not yet been used to execute the first variable game is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the first reserved display device 27a so as to represent the first reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating the first hold storage information such as the updated first hold storage number.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the acquired random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (hit lottery). When the probability variation state is given, the determination is made with the jackpot determination value for the probability variation state (that is, the winning is made with high probability). When the probability variation state is not given, the determination is made with the jackpot determination value for the non-probability variation state.

  When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the jackpot game based on the acquired value of the random number for symbol distribution, and from among the jackpot symbols by the special symbol A final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed by the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game) is determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation pattern based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, outputs various control commands for the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a). In the case of the second variation game, various processes relating to the second variation game are executed.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. The change pattern designation command also instructs information on which of the first change game and the second change game is executed. At the same time as the output of the variation pattern designation command, the main control CPU 30a displays the display contents of the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variation game) so as to start the variation of the special symbol. Control. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. When the final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot game can be specified, so the special symbol designation command is also a hit category designation command for designating the type of bonus game. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the final stop symbol determined based on the effect time (variation time) set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of one special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game) are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the decorative symbols based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when the big hit is not a big hit), the main control CPU 30a sends the off symbol to the first special symbol display device 11 (second special symbol display device 12 in the case of the second variable game). To determine the final stop symbol to be displayed. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the deviation variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number> 0, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the second variation game is executed to the special symbol variation processing flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Set. In the present embodiment, neither the big hit game nor the variable game is being executed, and when the second reserved memory number> 0 (that is, when there is a second variable game whose execution is reserved). ), The execution condition of the second variable game is established.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a selects a random number value related to the second variable game that is executed earliest in accordance with the acquisition order among random number values related to the second variable game (used for the second variable game) ( A random number for hit determination, a random number for variation pattern distribution, and a random number for special symbol distribution). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest acquired random number value that is related to the second variable game and that has not yet been used to execute the second variable game is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second reserved memory number, and changes the display content of the second reserved display device 27b so as to represent the second reserved memory number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating second hold storage information such as the updated second hold storage number.

Hereinafter, processing related to the second variation game is executed based on the acquired random number, but since it is the same as the processing in the first variation game, detailed description thereof is omitted.
By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are stored, the main control CPU 30a gives priority to the second variable game. Run. Then, when a big win is won in the second variable game, unlike the first variable game, a big hit game with a large number of substantial rounds in which a winning ball can be expected is likely to be awarded. As a result, when a big hit is achieved in the second variable game, it is possible to expect a prize ball to be obtained more than in the first variable game. Therefore, it is likely to be more advantageous for the player when the normal hit game is given.

  As described above, the main control CPU 30a according to the present embodiment serves as a winning lottery means for performing a winning lottery for a variable game when the game ball enters the start winning opening. Further, when the winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a serves as a hit game granting means for granting a big hit game in which the special winning opening (the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22) is opened. In addition, the main control RAM 30c updates and stores the first reserved memory number indicating the first variable game number that is suspended for execution when a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 14. In addition, when the game ball enters the second start winning opening 16, it becomes a storage means for updating and storing the second reserved memory number indicating the second variable game number that is suspended. .

  When determining the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts the control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, and the effect control board 31 ( A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the CPU 31a for effect control.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. In addition, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the first big prize opening 19 and the second big prize opening 22 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a waits until the upper limit number of game balls enter or until the main control CPU 30a opens or closes in a predetermined opening manner predetermined for each round game. Open and close the second grand prize opening 22. The main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the privilege grant port 26 in the round game of the fourth round. Then, the main control CPU 30a opens and closes the first grand prize opening 19 and the second big prize opening 22 in a specified opening / closing mode (or after the upper limit number of game balls have entered), and then plays a round game. finish. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the predetermined number of round games are finished, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  When ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not to grant a certain change state depending on whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege grant port 26 (that is, whether or not it has been detected by the privilege sensor SE5). To decide. When a game ball enters the privilege grant port 26, the main control CPU 30a determines to give a probability variation state, and sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to the main probability variation flag.

  Further, when assigning the probability variation state, the main control CPU 30a determines the number of times to impart the probability variation state, and sets the value in the main probability variation count flag. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a sets “120 times” as the main probability variation count flag. The main probability variation number flag is decremented by “1” every time the variable game is executed and becomes “0”, and the main control CPU 30a resets the value of the main probability variation flag.

  The main control CPU 30a once resets the values of the main probability variation flag and the main probability variation count flag when the big hit game is awarded. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines that the probability variation state is not provided when the game ball is not entered in the privilege grant port 26.

  Further, when the big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a determines to give the variable speed state (the improved entrance rate state). Then, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the variable state is given to the main operation flag. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the number of times of giving the variable state depending on whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26, and sets the value to the main operation number flag. Specifically, when a game ball enters the privilege grant port 26, the main control CPU 30a sets “120 times” as the main operation number flag, and no game ball enters the privilege grant port 26. In this case, “100 times” is set in the main operation frequency flag.

  The main operation count flag is decremented by “1” every time the variable game is executed and becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a resets the value of the main operation flag. The main control CPU 30a temporarily resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  Further, when a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 during the big hit game (when the game ball is detected by the privilege sensor SE5), the main control CPU 30a gives a control command (privilege notification command) to that effect. Output. As described above, during the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning probability of the big hit determination (hit lottery) from the normal probability after the big hit game is finished, triggered by the game ball entering the privilege granting port 26. Probability changing means for giving a probability changing state that changes with high probability. In addition, the main control CPU 30a gives a short state (entrance rate improvement state) in which the game ball enters the second start winning opening 16 more easily than the normal state after the big hit game ends. It becomes a grant means.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the special control designating command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination based on the decorative design to be stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 based on the final stop design designated by the special design designating command. That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a loss symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of loss.

  Then, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the representation display device 13 to execute the variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Thereafter, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the variable game and displays the determined symbol combination.

  When the bonus control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is given to the sub-probability variation flag. Further, when the bonus control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a sets “120 times” as the sub-probability variable number flag. The sub-probability variation count flag is decremented by “1” every time the variable game is executed and becomes “0”, and the effect control CPU 31a resets the value of the sub-probability variation flag. The effect control CPU 31a temporarily resets the value of the sub-probability change flag and the sub-probability change count flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a ends the big hit game, a value indicating that the variable state is given to the auxiliary action flag is set. In addition, when the privilege notification command is input, the effect control CPU 31a sets “120 times” as the secondary operation frequency flag, and when the privilege notification command is not input, sets “100 times” as the secondary operation frequency flag. To do.

  The sub-operation count flag is decremented by “1” every time the variable game is executed, and when it becomes “0”, the effect control CPU 31a resets the value of the sub-operation flag. The effect control CPU 31a once resets the values of the sub-operation flag and the sub-operation count flag when the big hit game is awarded.

And in this embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, an effect mode is determined, and an effect mode of a game effect such as a variable game is specified based on the effect mode.
More specifically, a plurality of production modes are prepared. In the present embodiment, two types of a first mode and a second mode are prepared. And the effect mode (for example, background image, variation pattern distribution, specific effect contents of the variation game to be executed, etc.) differ for each effect mode. The background image is an image displayed on the effect display device 13 excluding decorative symbols and the like related to the changing game. The specific contents of the fluctuation game are the contents of the effects excluding the presence or absence of the big hit and the fluctuation time. For example, the types and contents of the character images that appear, the development of the effects, the display color, the stop timing and order of the symbols And so on. Moreover, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that distribution of a fluctuation pattern may differ for every production mode. More specifically, in the case of a big hit, the distribution of the big hit variation pattern is made different for each effect mode, and in the case of a loss, the distribution of the shift variation pattern is made different for each effect mode.

Next, based on FIG. 9, the method for determining the production mode will be described together with its operation.
The main control CPU 30a determines an effect mode after the end of the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot game to be given. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a has the jackpots ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb that are easy for a game ball to enter the privilege granting port 26 (the second large winning port 22 is opened long). If granted, the first mode is determined as the effect mode after the big hit game ends. In other words, regardless of whether or not a game ball enters the privilege grant port 26 (regardless of whether or not a probability variation state is granted), a big hit game that allows the game ball to easily enter the privilege grant port 26 is granted. If so, the first mode is determined. That is, when the special hit game (big hit ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb) is given, the main control CPU 30a specifies the effect mode of the game effect after the big hit game ends. As the production mode, the first mode is determined as the high expectation mode indicating that the probability variation state is highly likely to be given.

  Then, when determining the first mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the first mode is being performed in a main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a mode signal for notifying that it is the first mode to the effect control board 31. When the effect control CPU 31a receives the mode signal, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that it is in the first mode to the sub mode flag stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  Even if a big hit game in which a game ball can easily enter the privilege grant port 26 is given, the game ball may not enter the privilege grant port 26 in some cases. Further, since the privilege grant port 26 is arranged in the discharge passage 25, it is not possible to directly recognize whether or not there is a ball. Furthermore, the moment when a game ball enters the second grand prize winning port 22 (and privilege granting port 26) is a short time and is easily overlooked. Therefore, the first mode is determined by determining the same first mode when the big hits ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb that allow the game balls to easily enter the privilege grant port 26 are given. It is possible to think that there is a high possibility that a certain change state is given. That is, it can be considered that there is a high possibility that the jackpot game is continuously given.

  On the other hand, even if the jackpots ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb, which are easy to enter the game balls into the privilege grant port 26, are given, even if the probability variation state is not given ( Even if a game ball does not enter the privilege grant port 26, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice this, and it is possible to maintain interest.

  When the big hit ZC, ZG, ZH is awarded, the main control CPU 30a is difficult for the game ball to enter the privilege grant opening 26 (the second big prize opening 22 does not open long). The second mode is determined as the mode. In other words, regardless of whether or not a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 (regardless of whether or not a probability variation state is given), a big hit game is given to which the game ball is difficult to enter the privilege granting port 26. If so, the second mode is determined. That is, the main control CPU 30a indicates that, when a normal hit game (big hit ZC, ZG, ZH) is given, it is unlikely that the probability variation state is given as the effect mode after the big hit game is ended. The second mode is determined as the low expectation mode.

  Then, when determining the second mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the second mode is being set in a main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. In addition, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a mode signal for notifying that it is the second mode to the effect control board 31. When the effect control CPU 31a receives the mode signal, the effect control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that it is in the second mode to the sub-mode flag stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  Even if a big hit game in which it is difficult for a game ball to enter the privilege grant port 26 is given, the game ball may enter the privilege grant port 26 in some cases. Further, since the privilege grant port 26 is arranged in the discharge passage 25, it is not possible to directly recognize whether or not there is a ball. Furthermore, the moment when a game ball enters the second grand prize winning port 22 (and privilege granting port 26) is a short time and is easily overlooked. Therefore, when the big hit ZC, ZG, ZH, which is difficult for the game ball to enter the privilege grant port 26, is given, the same second mode is decided. When the second mode is decided, the probability variation state is given. Can make you think that you may have. That is, it can be thought that there is a possibility that the big hit game is continuously given.

  Further, different rendering modes are determined according to the ease of entering the game ball into the privilege granting port 26 (whether or not the second large winning port 22 is long open). For this reason, it is made to recognize that the 1st mode is the production mode (high expectation mode) with the high possibility that the probability variation state is provided, and the 2nd mode has the low possibility that the probability variation state is provided. (Low expectation mode) can be recognized. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the game by predicting the possibility that the probability variation state is given, using the type of effect mode as a clue.

  In addition, like big hits ZB, ZE, ZF, there are those that open and close in the same opening and closing manner as big hits ZC, ZG, ZH, where it is difficult for game balls to enter the bonus granting port 26 until the middle of the fourth round game Has been. For this reason, the high expectation mode can be determined after making the player think that the low expectation mode is in the middle of the fourth round game, and the player can be surprised.

  Also, during the variable state, the second variable game is likely to be executed, and in the second variable game, if a big hit is made, the big hit Za, Zb where the game ball can easily enter the privilege grant port 26 Is granted. For this reason, in the variable state, the first mode in which there is a high possibility that the big hit game is continuously given can be continued, and the interest of the player can be improved. Further, since there is a high possibility that the first mode will continue in the variable state, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the big hit games, the big hit Za or the big hit Zb, is given.

  Further, in the second floating game, a big hit game with a large number of round games for opening the first big winning opening 19 or the second big winning opening 22 for a long time is more easily given than in the first changing game. For this reason, when a big hit game is awarded in the first variable game during the variable state where the second variable game is likely to be executed, the player may be disappointed. Therefore, if the ease of entering a game ball into the privilege granting port 26 is the same, the same first mode is determined. As a result, the first mode in which the probability change state is highly likely to be given even if a big hit game with a small number of round games to be released for a long time is given during the variable state, even if a big hit game with a small number of round games to be released long is given. Therefore, without paying attention to the number of round games to be released long, attention can be paid to the presence or absence of a probable change state and whether or not the next jackpot game is awarded.

  On the other hand, in the normal state, the first variable game is likely to be executed, and in the first variable game, the big hit ZC, ZG, ZH that is difficult for the game ball to enter the privilege grant port 26 can be given. There is sex. For this reason, attention can be paid to which production mode is set, and when the first mode is determined, the player can be pleased.

  The main control CPU 30a is configured to determine the normal effect mode as the effect mode when the change-over state ends and shifts to the normal state. The normal effect mode is an effect mode that indicates a normal state (a state in which the variable state and the probability change state are not given). When determining the normal effect mode, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the normal effect mode is in the main mode flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a mode signal for notifying that it is the normal effect mode to the effect control board 31. The effect control CPU 31a sets, based on the mode signal, a value indicating that the normal effect mode is in the sub mode flag stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  In addition, when the big hit game is given when the variable state is provided, the number of times of change is varied depending on the presence or absence of the certain change state. Specifically, when the probability change state is given, the number of times of change and the number of times of change is 120 times, and when the state of probability change is not given, the number of times of change is 100 times. For this reason, it is possible to recognize the presence or absence of the probability variation state from the difference in the number of times of variation. That is, when the probability variation state is given, the effect mode is continued without shifting to the normal effect mode even in the 101st to 120th variable games. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to how many times the number of times of change has been given, and if the production mode is continued in the 101st and subsequent fluctuation games, the big hit game has not been given so far. Even so, the player's expectation can be improved and the interest can be improved.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the probability variation state is imparted during the first mode or the second mode, the probability variation confirmation effect that notifies that the probability variation state is imparted is configured to be executable. In other words, when the main control CPU 30a determines the first mode or the second mode (high expectation degree mode or low expectation degree mode), the effect control CPU 31a as the effect control means is given the probability variation state. The effect display device 13 as the effect execution means is controlled so as to execute the probability change confirmation effect for notifying that the probability change state is confirmed.

  More specifically, the effect control CPU 31a is given a probability change state during the first mode or the second mode (when the value indicating the first mode or the second mode is set in the sub-mode flag). In this case (when a value indicating that the probability variation state is given to the sub-probability variation flag is set), each time the variable game is executed, a lottery is performed as to whether or not the probability variation confirmed effect is to be performed. The winning probability of this lottery is determined according to the number of times that the variable game has been played since the end of the big hit game. Specifically, the winning probability is determined so as to increase every predetermined number of times (10 times).

  When the lottery is won, the effect control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 13 so as to execute the probability change confirmed effect during the variable game. In this probability change effect, it is notified that the probability change state is given, and the player can recognize that the probability change state is given.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the big hit game (hit ZA, ZB, ZD, ZE, ZF, Za, Zb) where the game ball can easily enter the privilege granting port 26 is given, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game. Then, the 1st mode (high expectation mode) which shows that possibility that the probability variation state is provided is high is determined as an effect mode for specifying the effect mode of a game effect. On the other hand, when a big hit game (hit ZC, ZG, ZH) in which a game ball is difficult to enter the bonus granting port 26 is given to the main control CPU 30a, the probable state is set as the effect mode after the big hit game ends. A second mode (low expectation mode) indicating that there is a low possibility of being assigned is determined.

  In a big hit game (special hit game) in which a game ball can easily enter the privilege granting port 26, a game ball can easily enter the privilege granting port 26. If it is not notified whether or not a ball has entered the mouth 26 (whether or not a certain variation state has been imparted), it cannot be determined from the appearance whether or not the certain variation state has been imparted. In addition, it is difficult to determine whether or not the player has entered the second grand prize winning port 22 and the privilege granting port 26 unless it is missed or because it is an instant. Therefore, when a big hit game in which a game ball can easily enter the privilege granting port 26 is given, the same first mode (high expectation) is used as the production mode regardless of whether the game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 or not. Degree mode) was decided. Thereby, the player cannot judge whether or not the certainty change state is given from the effect mode. On the other hand, it can be expected that there is a possibility that the probability variation state is given. In particular, when it can be visually confirmed that a game ball has entered the second grand prize winning port 22, the expectation of the probability variation state can be enhanced.

  Similarly, in a big hit game (a normal hit game) where it is difficult for a game ball to enter the privilege grant port 26, although it is difficult for a game ball to enter the privilege grant port 26, the privilege grant port 26 may enter. If it is not notified whether or not the ball has been entered (whether or not the probability variation state has been applied), it cannot be determined from the appearance whether or not the probability variation state has been imparted. In addition, it is difficult to determine whether or not the player has entered the second grand prize winning port 22 and the privilege granting port 26 unless it is missed or because it is an instant. Therefore, when a big hit game that makes it difficult for a game ball to enter the privilege granting port 26 is given, the same second mode (low expectation) is used as the production mode regardless of whether or not the game ball enters the privilege granting port 26. Degree mode) was decided. Thereby, the player cannot judge whether or not the certainty change state is given from the effect mode. On the other hand, it can be expected that there is a possibility that the probability variation state is given. In particular, when it can be visually confirmed that a game ball has entered the second grand prize winning port 22, the expectation of the probability variation state can be enhanced.

  And since the ease with which a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 differs depending on the type of jackpot game, the probability that the probability variation state will be given differs depending on the type of jackpot game. Therefore, by determining the production mode according to the type of jackpot game, there is a high possibility that a probability change state is given (high possibility that a big hit game will continue), and a probability change state is given. The low expectation mode can be prepared (the possibility that the big hit game is low) is low. Thereby, it is possible to enjoy the game by predicting the possibility that the probability variation state is given, using the type of the production mode as a clue.

  (2) When the variable state is given, it is easy to execute the second variable game in which the big hit game in which the game ball easily enters the privilege grant port 26 is given. In other words, when a big hit game is awarded during the changing state, there is a high possibility that a gaming ball will enter the privilege granting port 26 and a probable changing state will be given. For this reason, if the game ball does not enter the privilege granting port 26 when the shortage state is given, and the probable change state is not given, the player is disappointed, and the interest of the game is May decrease. Therefore, when a big hit game is given when the shortage state is given, an effect mode corresponding to the type of the big hit game is determined regardless of whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege grant port 26. did. As a result, the degree of attention about whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26 is lowered, and it is always expected that a probable state is provided, and the interest is lowered when the probable state is not provided. Can be reduced.

  Also, in the first floating game and the second floating game, a big hit game in which a game ball can easily enter the bonus grant opening 26 at the time of winning the big hit lottery, and a game ball to the bonus grant opening 26 in the win of the big hit lottery By changing the grant ratio of the big hit game that is difficult for the player to enter, the ratio at which the probability variation state is given can be substantially changed.

  (3) Among the big hit games where game balls are easy to enter the privilege granting port 26, the special contents in which the content of the big hit game is the same as the big hit game where the game balls are difficult to enter the privilege granting port 26 halfway There is a hit game (big hit ZB, ZE, ZF). Thereby, when a special hit game is given, it is assumed that a big hit game in which it is difficult for a game ball to enter the bonus granting port 26 is given halfway, while a game ball enters the privilege granting port 26 from the middle. Recognize that it was a big hit game, and surprise the player. In addition, when a special winning game is awarded, the first mode (high expectation mode) is determined after the second mode (low expectation mode) is determined, so the player is pleased. be able to.

  (4) After the first mode or the second mode is determined as the effect mode, the CPU 31a for effect control executes the probability change confirmed effect for notifying that the probability change state is confirmed when the probability change state is given. Can be made. Thereby, since the player can recognize that the probability variation state is given, the player can be focused on whether or not the probability variation effect is executed. In addition, in either the first mode or the second mode, attention can be paid to whether or not the probability variation effect is executed, and the interest of the player can be improved.

  (5) The main control CPU 30a varies the number of variable games to which the variable state is given after the big hit game is ended, depending on whether or not the game ball enters the privilege grant port 26. As a result, even if it is not possible to recognize whether or not the probability variation state has been given from the production mode, since the number of variable games to which the variation state is imparted is different, whether or not the probability variation state has been imparted from the variation state provision mode. It can be recognized. For this reason, it can be made to notice how long a variable state is provided.

  (6) When the game ball enters the privilege grant port 26, the probability variation state is imparted. For this reason, when opening and closing the 1st big winning opening 19 and the 2nd big winning opening 22 in the same opening and closing mode, it is not necessary to divide the big hit game depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. That is, when the first big winning opening 19 and the second big winning opening 22 are opened and closed in the same opening and closing mode, a big hit game in which a probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, and a big hit in which the positive change state is not given after the big hit game is finished There is no need to provide a game.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 30a is an effect mode determining means for determining the effect mode, but the effect control CPU 31a may be an effect mode determining means for determining the effect mode. In this case, it becomes impossible to change the distribution of the variation pattern for each effect mode. In this case, the main control CPU 30a displays various information necessary for determining the effect mode (for example, whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26 and the type of jackpot game). It is necessary to notify the effect control CPU 31a).

  In the above embodiment, when the second variable game is a big hit, only the big hit game that makes it easy to enter the game ball into the privilege grant opening 26 is given. It is also possible to give a big hit game that makes it difficult to enter the game, for example, a big hit game in which the second big prize opening 22 is opened only for 3 seconds.

  In the above embodiment, in the big hit game where it is difficult for a game ball to enter the privilege granting opening 26, the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 22 may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the second grand prize opening 22 may be opened only for 0.04 seconds. Similarly, in the big hit game in which a game ball easily enters the privilege granting port 26, the opening / closing mode of the second grand prize winning port 22 may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the second big prize opening 22 may be opened for 0.04 seconds, then closed for 8 seconds, and then opened for 25 seconds.

In the above embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the shortage state (the improved entrance rate state) is always given, but it may not be given.
In the above embodiment, the first grand prize winning port 19 and the second grand prize winning port 22 are provided as the special prize winning ports, but only the second grand prize winning port 22 may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the privilege grant port 26 is provided inside the discharge passage 25, but may be provided inside the second grand prize winning port 22. In this case, the second grand prize winning port 22 is provided with a discharge port for discharging game balls outside the pachinko gaming machine 10 in addition to the privilege granting port 26, and the opening / closing of the privilege granting port 26 to be in an open state and a closed state. It is necessary to provide a shutter. Then, it is necessary to open and close the open / close shutter at a predetermined timing. Thereby, it can be visually confirmed whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26.

  In the above embodiment, the privilege grant port 26 may be arranged so that a place where a game ball enters the privilege grant port 26 can be visually recognized. For example, the privilege grant port 26 may be provided on the game board YB. In this case, an opening / closing shutter that opens and closes the privilege grant port 26 is provided, and is opened and closed at a predetermined timing during the big hit game. Thereby, it can be visually confirmed whether or not a game ball has entered the privilege granting port 26.

  In the above embodiment, the arrangement of the first start winning opening 14 may be arbitrarily changed. In this embodiment, various components such as a game nail and the first start winning port 14 are arranged so that a part of the game ball flowing down the first flow path X can enter the first start winning port 14. However, various components may be arranged so that a part of the game ball flowing down the second flow path Y can enter the first start winning opening 14. Further, the shapes of various components may be changed so that a part of the game balls flowing down the second flow path Y can enter the first start winning opening 14. Alternatively, various components such as a game nail and the first start winning port 14 are arranged so that the ball can enter the first starting winning port 14 regardless of which of the first flowing channel X and the second flowing channel Y flows down. May be. The shape of various components may be changed so that the ball can enter the first start winning opening 14 regardless of which of the first flow path X and the second flow path Y is flowed.

  In the above embodiment, the arrangement of the second start winning opening 16 may be arbitrarily changed. In the present embodiment, various components such as a game nail and the second start winning port 16 are arranged so that a part of the game ball flowing down the second flow path Y can enter the second start winning port 16. However, various components may be arranged so that a part of the game ball flowing down the first flow down path X can enter the second start winning opening 16. In addition, the shape of various components may be changed so that a part of the game ball flowing down the first flow path X can enter the second start winning opening 16. Alternatively, various components such as a game nail and the second start winning port 16 are arranged so that the ball can enter the second start winning port 16 regardless of which of the first flowing channel X and the second flowing channel Y flows down. May be. The shape of various components may be changed so that the ball can enter the second start winning opening 16 regardless of which of the first flow path X and the second flow path Y is flowed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the arrangement of the first big winning opening 19 may be arbitrarily changed. In the present embodiment, various components such as a game nail and the first grand prize winning port 19 are arranged so that a part of the game ball flowing down the second flow path Y can enter the first grand prize winning port 19. However, various components may be arranged so that a part of the game balls flowing down the first flow path X can enter the first grand prize winning opening 19. In addition, the shape of various components may be changed so that a part of the game ball flowing down the first flow path X can enter the first big winning opening 19. Alternatively, various components such as a game nail and the first grand prize winning port 19 are arranged so that the player can enter the first grand prize winning port 19 regardless of which of the first flowing down route X and the second flowing down route Y. May be. The shape of various components may be changed so that the ball can enter the first big prize opening 19 regardless of which of the first flow path X and the second flow path Y is flowed down.

  In the above embodiment, the arrangement of the second big prize opening 22 may be arbitrarily changed. In the present embodiment, various components such as a game nail and the second grand prize winning port 22 are arranged so that a part of the game ball flowing down the second flow down path Y can enter the second grand prize winning port 22. However, various components may be arranged so that a part of the game balls flowing down the first flow down path X can enter the second grand prize winning port 22.
