Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine provided with a symbol for notifying a result of a lottery performed due to a game ball entering a starting port.

  The general configuration of the current pachinko gaming machine is that when a game ball launched by a player enters a start opening provided in the game area, a random number value is extracted, and the extracted value is a specific value. Is a big hit gaming state in which the big prize opening is opened. Also, there are many pachinko machines equipped with a plurality of start openings (for example, two), which draw lots of different special symbols in accordance with the entrance to each start opening.

  In addition to the random number value used to determine whether or not to generate a jackpot gaming state when the game ball enters the starting gate, the contents of the jackpot gaming state (how many rounds (up to how many rounds) the final round) And / or what kind of gaming state after the jackpot game is finished (whether it is a probability change (high probability) state, whether it is an open extension state, a probability change and / or a period during which the open extension state continues Random values for determining how much, etc.)) are also extracted, and the determination result is notified by a special symbol confirmation display.

  In this way, the general configuration of the current pachinko gaming machine is that all the lotteries are performed by the gaming machine simply by inserting the game ball into the starting port, and the games after the lottery only follow the result of the lottery. However, there was a problem that the player's intention had no room to intervene and lacked interest.

  However, with respect to such a problem, the first gate and the second gate are provided as a configuration that can be passed through any desired gate by a player's launch operation, and a game ball is provided in the first gate. The ratio of the maximum number of game balls that can be acquired by jackpot game differs between when the game passes and when the game ball passes through the second gate, and the content of the jackpot game (maximum number of game balls that can be acquired) In order to determine the above, an invention is disclosed in which whether the player passes through the first gate or the second gate can be selected according to the player's intention <Patent Document 1>.

JP 2011-152161 A

  As described above, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, the type of jackpot game is determined by the extracted random number value, and the determined jackpot game must be executed. In other words, even if the determined jackpot game is a jackpot game that the player does not want, most of them are pachinko machines that have no choice but to choose from.

  In the present invention, in a pachinko gaming machine having two symbols (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) for lottery winning each, the jackpot game determined by one symbol can be changed to the jackpot game of the other symbol The purpose is to provide an innovative pachinko machine that has never existed.

The ball game machine according to claim 1,
A go / no-go decision means for making a go / no-go decision based on the numerical data extracted due to the game ball entering the first start port or the second start port;
A first special symbol display device for displaying a first special symbol indicating a determination result of the success / failure determination means based on the numerical data extracted due to the game ball entering the first starting port;
A second special symbol display device for displaying a second special symbol indicating a determination result of the success / failure determination means based on the numerical data extracted due to the game ball entering the second starting port;
A jackpot game executing means for executing a jackpot game after the game ball has passed through a predetermined gate after being determined to be won by the hit determination means;
In the ball game machine in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed simultaneously, and there are a plurality of types of jackpot games executed by the jackpot game executing means,
The predetermined gate includes a first gate and a second gate,
The jackpot game execution means executes a jackpot game when the game ball passes through the first gate in the first state, or when the game ball passes through the second gate in the second state,
In the first state, the numerical data extracted due to the game ball entering the first starting port is determined to be winning by the determination unit, and the first special symbol corresponding to the numerical data is determined. Occurs after the lapse of a predetermined time that has been determined in advance,
In the second state, the numerical data extracted due to the game ball entering the second starting port is determined to be winning by the determination unit, and the second special symbol corresponding to the numerical data is determined. Occurs after the lapse of a predetermined time that has been determined in advance,
In the first state, the new variation of the first special symbol is disabled until a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the new variation of the second special symbol is allowed until the game ball passes through the first gate,
In the second state, the new variation of the second special symbol is disabled until a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the new variation of the first special symbol is allowed until the game ball passes through the second gate. It is a ball game machine characterized by this.

  The first starting port or the second starting port may be a entrance where the entrance rate does not always change, or as a entrance that can enter or can easily enter according to the operation of the variable winning device. Also good. Further, in this case, it is desirable to draw a lottery to determine whether or not to operate the variable winning device based on the numerical data (random value) extracted due to the game ball entering the normal symbol operating port.

  In addition, a storage unit (for example, a first storage unit) that stores the numerical data extracted due to entering the first start port and the second start port for each start port up to a predetermined upper limit number. There may be a holding storage means and a second holding storage means), and similarly, a general-purpose holding memory for holding and storing numerical data extracted due to entering a normal symbol start opening up to a predetermined upper limit number Means may be provided.

  Numeric data (random values) extracted due to the entry of one game ball into the first start port and the second start port may be plural types, and whether or not to generate a big hit advantageous to the player. In addition to the random number for determining whether or not the game is successful (big hit), the type of the symbol to be displayed and the content of the symbol (variable display time (variation pattern)) are determined according to the lottery result For example, the jackpot symbol determining random number 1, the jackpot symbol determining random number 2, the reach determining random number, and the variation pattern determining random number may be used. In addition, the type of the fixed symbol for notifying the result of the determination of the success / failure and the random number extraction time for determining the variation content of the symbol are not limited to the time when the game ball enters the first starting port and the second starting port, but the variation of the symbol It is good also as the time of the right / wrong determination performed just before the start.

  In the case where the result of the success / failure determination by the success / failure determination means is a big hit, a configuration for selecting a big hit game to be executed from a plurality of big hit games according to the type of the big hit symbol selected based on the numerical data is preferable. The jackpot game based on the entrance game and the jackpot game based on the entrance of the second start opening are preferably configured so that there is a difference in the number of balls that can be expected by the player. When the maximum number of times (maximum number of continuations) is 16 times, the big hit game that is opened 16 times is more likely to be hit based on the second start entrance ball than when the big hit is based on the first start entrance ball The ratio selected may be large, or vice versa (the first start port has a higher ratio of 16 times).

  When the player enters the first state or the second state, the player is informed in a recognizable manner that he / she has won the jackpot and the type of jackpot game started by passing the gate corresponding to each state. It is desirable that

  “In the first state, the new variation of the first special symbol is disabled until the predetermined condition is satisfied” means that the predetermined condition is satisfied without the game ball passing through the first gate in the first state. In this case, it indicates that the change of the new first special symbol due to the ball entering the first starting port is started without starting the big hit game. Similarly, “in the second state, the new variation of the second special symbol is disabled until a predetermined condition is satisfied” means that the game ball does not pass through the second gate in the second state. When the condition is satisfied, it indicates that the change of the new second special symbol due to the ball entering the second starting port is started without starting the big hit game.

  “In the first state, a new change in the second special symbol is allowed until the game ball passes through the first gate” means that the first special symbol and the second special symbol are It is possible to change at the same time, and the second special symbol indicates that the variable display according to the determination of success / failure is repeated as usual until the big hit game caused by the ball entering the first starting port is executed. When the big hit game is started, if the second special symbol is changing, the change is ended (or interrupted) and the lost symbol is displayed. Until the big hit game is ended, a new variable indication ( It is desirable that the determination is not performed. Similarly, “in the second state, a new change in the first special symbol is allowed until the game ball passes through the second gate” similarly, “the first special symbol and the first special symbol are From the configuration of “2 special symbols can be changed at the same time”, until the big hit game caused by the entrance to the second starting port is executed, the first special symbol is displayed in a variable display according to the determination of success / failure as usual. When the jackpot game is started, if the first special symbol is displaying the variation, the variation is terminated (or interrupted) and the lost symbol is displayed until the jackpot game ends. It is desirable that a new change display (whether or not) is not performed.

  It is desirable that the game area in which the first start port and the second start port are arranged and the game area in which the first gate and the second gate are arranged are different game areas. The different game areas may be game areas that cannot be distinguished unless the firing strength of the game ball is changed. However, the first start port and the second start port may be arranged in different game areas, and the first gate and the second gate may be arranged in different game areas.

The ball game machine according to claim 2
In the ball game machine according to claim 1,
As the gaming state, there are a normal probability state and a high probability state that has a higher probability of being determined to be won by the success / failure determination means than the normal probability state,
The high probability state ends due to the number of times the special symbol fluctuates or the number of times the special symbol has stopped reaching a predetermined number,
At least one of the predetermined conditions is the end of the high probability state.

  “The high probability state ends because the number of times the special symbol fluctuates or the number of times the special symbol stops reaches a predetermined number” means that the end time of the high probability state is the special symbol It may be at the start of fluctuation according to the execution of the determination of whether or not (when a predetermined number of determinations are made in a high probability state), or when a predetermined number of confirmation displays according to the determination of whether or not the high probability state is performed Indicates good. Note that the high probability state is also terminated when a big hit occurs during the high probability state.

  In the first state (or in the second state), the high probability state ends and the predetermined condition is satisfied, whereby the non-variable state of the first (or second) special symbol is completed and a new variation can be started. However, since the first state (or the second state) is also ended by the establishment, the big hit game is not executed even if the game ball is passed through the first gate (or the second gate) after the establishment. In addition, “at least one of the predetermined conditions is the end of the high-probability state”, but other predetermined conditions may be provided, for example, from the transition to the first (or second) state. One of the predetermined conditions may be that the time has passed.

The ball game machine according to claim 3 is:
In the bullet ball game machine according to claim 1 or 2,
When the game ball passes through either the first gate or the second gate in the state in which the first state and the second state overlap, the first state and the second state The ball game machine is characterized in that both states are terminated.

  In a state where the first state and the second state overlap, when the game ball passes through the first gate or the second gate, not only the state (first state or second state) relating to the passed gate, The other state (the first state or the second state) is also terminated.

  According to the ball game machine of claim 1, after the first starting port and the second starting port are determined to be hit by the random number value extracted at one of the starting ports, a predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed. Even so, if the game ball does not pass through the gate corresponding to the starting port, it is possible to continue to determine whether or not the random number value is extracted at the other starting port. If the big hit is an unfavorable big hit, it will be possible to aim for another big hit game without executing the big hit game (without passing the game ball to the gate). It becomes possible to provide a novel pachinko machine that is not new.

  According to the bullet ball game machine of the second aspect, it is possible to continue aiming for another big hit game indefinitely even if the big hit game that is not liked is determined while achieving the same effect as the first aspect. However, the problem that the configuration becomes too advantageous to the player occurs, but when the high probability state ends, the transition state to the big hit game is canceled, and the state where a new special symbol change can be started. By doing so, the player's advantageous period can be limited.

  According to the bullet ball game machine of claim 3, while having the same effect as in claim 1 or claim 2, while the first state and the second state are overlapped, the game ball on one gate If a configuration that allows a big hit game to be executed by passing the other gate after passing a big hit game, it will be too advantageous for the player, but both big hit games will be possible. In such a case (when the first state and the second state overlap), it is possible to avoid a configuration that is too advantageous to the player by adopting a configuration in which only one big hit game can be executed.

If the touch signal is not input to the launch control device 84, the game ball cannot be launched, and if the launch stop switch signal is input, the game ball cannot be launched even if the player touches the launch handle. It has become. The payout control device 81 and the launch control device 84 are configured as a one-way communication circuit from the payout control device 81 to the launch control device 84.

  The sub integrated control device 83 corresponding to the sub control device includes electrical components such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, receives data and commands transmitted from the main control device 80, and uses them for effect display control and sound control. The command for the display control is transmitted to the production symbol control device 82, and the control part (sound control device and It distributes to a functional part as a lamp control device). Then, the function unit as the sound control device controls the sound output from the speaker by operating the sound LSI based on the data for sound control, and the function unit as the lamp control device is based on the data for lamp control. The various LED and lamp 26 are controlled by operating the lamp driver.

  The effect symbol control device 82 receives the data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both those transmitted from the main control device 80 and the sub integrated control device 83 input from the main control device 80 and the input of the effect button 67. And an effect image such as a pseudo symbol is displayed on the screen 6 a of the effect symbol display device 6.

The effect symbol control device 82 controls the display of the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 6 in accordance with a command sent from the sub integrated control device 83.

  Next, the operation content of the gaming machine will be described. The pachinko machine in the present embodiment is configured as a probability variation machine, and whether or not the winning / failure determination is based on the game ball entering the first start port 11 and the second start port 12 depends on the normal (low) probability game state and the normal probability game. The game is executed in any one of the high-probability gaming states (corresponding to the high-probability state of the present invention) having a higher probability of winning a big hit than the state. In this embodiment, the normal probability is set to 1/300 and the high probability is set to 1/30.

  In addition, it has an open extension function that changes the activation trigger and operation time of the normal electric accessory (second start port 12). For an accessory, the 0.2-second opening operation is performed once, and when the opening extension function is activated, the normal electric accessory is set to perform an 1.8-second opening operation twice for each normal symbol hit. Has been. In addition, the variation pattern (variation time) of the first and second special symbols in the gaming state in which the opening extension function is activated is an average variation time than the variation pattern selection table used in the gaming state in which the opening extension function is not activated. Is selected using a variation pattern selection table set so as to be shorter. As a result, the number of fluctuations in the special symbol per unit time when the open extension function is activated is greater than that when the open extension function is not activated (short-time function). Operates at the same start and end.

  It should be noted that when the open extension function is activated, the time reduction function for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol (increasing the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time) is also activated. Specifically, the normal symbol fluctuation time when the opening extension function is not activated is set to 6.2 seconds, and the normal symbol fluctuation time when the opening extension function is activated is set to 0.7 seconds. Yes. As a result, when the opening extension function is activated, the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time is increased, and the operation trigger of the ordinary electric accessory is greatly increased. As a result, the rate of entering the ordinary electric accessory per unit time increases, the number of fluctuations of the second special symbol increases, and the decrease in holding balls is suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, after all the big hit games are completed, the high-probability gaming state and the open extended state are entered. The high probability game state is regulated by a “probability change flag” and a “probability change counter” which will be described later, and the number of changes in the special figure after the transition to the high probability game state is predetermined (100 in this embodiment). ) Until the jackpot is finalized. Similarly, the open extended game state is also regulated by “time reduction flag” and “time reduction counter” described later, and the number of fluctuations of the special figure after the shift to the open extended state is predetermined (in this embodiment, 100 times) or until a big hit occurs. Accordingly, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment is configured as a so-called ST machine that is in a high-probability gaming state and in an open extended state until the special symbol fluctuates 100 times after completion of all the big hit games.

  Next, details of the operation will be described based on a program process executed by the main controller 80. FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of a “main routine” executed by the main controller 80. In the “main routine”, when a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. As a case where the interruption is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on, but microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is mostly at power on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  When S10 is negative, that is, when it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial setting (for example, a predetermined value is written to a predetermined area of the memory and a special symbol and a normal symbol are used as an initial symbol, etc.) Each initial value is written into the work area (S15) and the like (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (initial random number update process (S80)).

  When an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (S10: yes), initial value random number update processing (S20), big hit determination random number update processing (S25), big hit symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), big hit symbol determination Random number 2 update processing (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update processing (S40), hit determination random number update processing (S45), reach determination random number update processing (S50), variation pattern determination random number update processing (S55) ) Is performed.

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S60), winning in the first starting port 11, the second starting port 12, and entering the normal symbol operating gate 17, the first gate, the second gate, and the pachinko machine 50 are provided. Input processing of each switch connected to the main controller 80 is executed. Subsequently, an output determination (S65), an output process such as an image output process (S70), a fraud monitoring process (S75) are performed, and an initial random number is updated within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The process (S80) is looped.

  Next, the start winning process executed by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The start winning process includes various random numbers such as success / failure random numbers acquired when a game ball enters the first start port 11 and the second start port 12 or when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 17. Processing (including numerical data extraction means and hold storage means) is stored (stored) in the main controller 80 as hold storage. In this process, a prefetch determination process is performed to determine whether or not the stored random number is a preset value before performing the first and second determination processes described later. Further, in the start winning process, a process of transmitting various commands resulting from entering the first start port 11 and the second start port 12 to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed. Thereafter, the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the first start port 11 is the first hold memory, and the hold memory stored when the game ball enters the second start port 12 is the second hold. The reserved memory stored when the game ball has passed through the memory and normal symbol operating gate 17 will be described as the normal figure reserved memory.

  In the present embodiment, the maximum number of lighting by each of the normal symbol hold number display device 8, the first special figure hold number display device 18, and the second special figure hold number display device 19 is 4 (the maximum hold memory number is However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the maximum number of memories may be eight. Further, even when the number of stored memories is 0, it is acquired when a game ball is won at the first start port 11 and the second start port 12 or when a game ball is entered at the normal symbol operating gate 17. Various random numbers such as pass / fail random numbers are stored in the main control device 80 in the same manner as when there are stored numbers less than the maximum value.

  When the start winning process is started, it is determined whether or not the first start port switch 11a has detected a game ball (S100). If a negative determination is made (S100: no), the process proceeds to S130. If an affirmative determination is made (S100: yes), it is determined whether the number of first reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit value (= 4). (S105). If the determination is negative (S105: no), the process proceeds to S130, and if the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), the extracted big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number 1, the big hit symbol determination random number 2, the small hit symbol determination random number The reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number (corresponding to the numerical data of the present invention) are stored as the first reserved memory, and 1 is added to the first reserved memory counter indicating the number of the first reserved memory (S110). .

  Subsequent to S110, a prefetch determination of the stored first reserved storage is performed (S115) (numerical data confirmation unit). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the big hit determination random number is a value that causes a big hit, and if it is a big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is confirmed. If the big hit determination is a loss, it is checked whether the value is a value that causes a small hit, and if the big hit is lost, it is checked whether the reach determination random number is a value that is a super reach. If it is not a super reach, it is confirmed whether or not it is a reach value, and the variation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern. By making the above determination, it is confirmed whether or not the stored random number value is a specific value that the player can expect to win a jackpot (whether or not an effect that can expect a jackpot is possible even if the player loses).

  Subsequently, based on the determination result of S115, a first prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S120), and a first hold number instruction indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S110 The command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125).

  Following the processing of S125 or the negative determinations of S100 and S105 (S100: no, S105: no), it is determined whether or not the second start port switch 12a has detected a game ball (S130). If a negative determination is made (S130: no), the process proceeds to S160. If an affirmative determination is made (S130: yes), it is determined whether the number of second reserved memories stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit value (= 4). (S135). If the determination is negative (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160. If the determination is affirmative (S135: yes), the extracted big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number 1, the big hit symbol determination random number 2, the small hit symbol determination A random number, a reach determination random number, and a variation pattern determination random number (corresponding to the numerical data of the present invention) are stored as a second reserved memory (numerical data extraction means and a reserved memory means), and a second hold indicating the second reserved memory number 1 is added to the storage counter (S140), and the pre-reading determination of the second reserved storage stored in the same manner as S110 is performed (S145).

  Subsequently, based on the determination result of S145, a second prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S150), and a second hold number instruction indicating the value of the second hold storage counter added in S140 The command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S155), and the process proceeds to S160.

  In S160, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operation switch 17a has detected a game ball (S160). If the determination is negative (S160: no), the process returns to the return, and if the determination is affirmative (S160: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved maps stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit (= 4) ( S165). If the determination is negative (S165: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S165: yes), the extracted winning determination random number and the winning symbol determination random number are stored as a general-purpose storage, and the general-purpose storage is stored. 1 is added to the general figure hold memory counter indicating (S170), and a general figure hold memory number instruction command indicating the value of the added general figure hold memory counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S175), and the process returns.

  When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the first and second reserved memory count instruction commands, the sub integrated control device 83 receives an instruction signal for changing the number of reserved symbols displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the reserved memory count indicated by the received command. This is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal symbol hold memory number display is not performed on the effect symbol display device 6, but it may be configured to display in response to the reception of the general symbol hold memory number instruction command. A configuration may be adopted in which the number instruction command itself is not transmitted. A configuration is also conceivable in which normal prefetch determination is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device. As a result, it is possible to perform a pre-reading notice effect that expects the normal electric accessory (second start port 12) to open.

  Next, the first success / failure determination process executed by the main controller 80 will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. This process selects the first special symbol's variable display time and fixed symbol according to the determination of whether or not the first hold storage is appropriate, and if the determination of success / failure is a big hit, This is a process of determining the big hit resulting from the entrance to the first start port 11 based on the entrance of the game ball to the first gate 91. Therefore, this processing is processing including the success / failure determination means and jackpot game execution means of the present invention. In this embodiment, in order to enable simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, the first special figure and the second special figure are individually determined to be correct / incorrect (the first special determination process). And the second success / failure determination process) will be described later with reference to the drawings.

  When the first success / failure determination process is started, the operation of the continuous action device (only one in the pachinko game machine is operated in common with the first special figure and the second special figure) is confirmed, and the big hit game is in progress. (S200: yes), if a positive determination is made (S200: yes), the process proceeds to a special game process to be described later, and a negative determination, that is, if a big hit game is not being played (S200: no), the first special It is determined whether the figure is changing (S205). If the figure is not changing (S205: no), it is determined whether the first state flag is 0 (S207).

  The first state flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is 1, it is in the first state (corresponding to the first state of the present invention), and if the value is 0, it is not in the first state. Judging. The first state is a state in which a big hit game can be executed when a game ball passes through the first gate 91. If the result of the determination is a big hit, the first time of a predetermined time based on the determination of appropriateness When the special symbol variation display is performed, the state shifts to the first state.

  If S207 is affirmative, that is, if it is a non-first state (S207: yes), it is determined whether or not the fixed symbol of the first special figure is being displayed (S210), and if the fixed symbol is not being displayed (S210: no), It is determined whether or not there is a first reserved memory (S215), and if a negative determination is made (S215: no), the process proceeds to a special game process described later, and an affirmative determination, that is, if there is a first reserved memory (S215: yes), The shift processing of the first reserved memory is performed (S220), thereby making the oldest first reserved memory a subject of the determination, and subtracting 1 from the first reserved memory counter indicating the first reserved memory number.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 0 (S225). The probability variation flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is 1, the high probability gaming state is determined, and if the value is 0, the normal gaming state is determined. If S225 is negative, that is, if the gaming state is high probability (S225: no), the jackpot determination random number value of the first reserved memory that is the object of the determination is compared with a preset probability variation table used at the time of high probability. Then, the random number value to be determined is compared with the determination value in the probability variation table (S235). If S225 is an affirmative determination (S225: yes), the jackpot determination random number value in the first reserved memory that is the target of the determination is compared with a normal table with a normal probability (low probability) set in advance. Are compared with the determination value in the normal table (S230). In this embodiment, the probability variation table has a jackpot probability of 1/30, and the normal table has a setting of 1/300.

  In the subsequent S240, it is determined whether or not the result of S230 or S235 is a big hit (same as the determination value) (corresponding to the success / failure determination means of the present invention). If it is affirmation determination (S240: yes), a symbol mode setting process will be performed (S245). In the symbol mode setting process, the symbol mode for determining the contents of the jackpot game (described later using a diagram) is set based on the jackpot symbol determining random number 1 of the first reserved memory to be determined (S245).

  Subsequently, a jackpot symbol selection process is performed based on the set symbol mode type and the jackpot symbol determination random number 2 (S250). This is a process of determining a symbol to be displayed from among the symbol groups set for each type of symbol mode in order to notify the type of jackpot game determined by the symbol mode setting by the symbol jackpot symbol.

  Next, mode buffer setting processing is performed based on the symbol mode set in S245 (S255). The mode buffer is a device for storing the contents of the game state after the end of the big hit game determined at the time of determination of the success / failure until the end of the big hit game for setting the game state (the probability change flag for setting the game state during the big hit game and the short time flag) Because it is necessary to clear). The mode buffer is configured to store specific game contents (activities of the probability changing function and release extension function (time reduction function) and the number of operations thereof), and store values corresponding to the specific game contents. .

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S245, the winning pattern opening pattern setting process, which is the content of the big hit game, is performed (S260), and the reach determination random number and variation pattern of the first reserved memory that is the target of the success / failure determination Based on the determination random number, a variation pattern to be a variation time of the symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 and the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from the variation pattern selection table (S265).

  Next, the information on the selected jackpot symbol and variation pattern is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a variation instruction command (S270). Based on the instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 and the first special symbol based on the information on the big hit symbol and the variation pattern of the first special symbol. The pseudo-effect production variation display corresponding to the figure is started. Almost simultaneously with the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 to start the variation of the first special symbol.

  If S240 is negative, i.e., lost (S240: no), it is determined whether the result of the comparison processing of S230 or S235 is a small hit (S275), and if affirmative (S275: yes), the small hit symbol is selected. (S280) Subsequently, a small hit game release pattern setting process is performed (S260), a variation pattern selection process corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S265), and a variation instruction command serving as information on the small hit symbol and the variation pattern Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S270). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on the instruction from the sub integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and the effect symbol corresponding to the first special symbol based on the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. Start displaying fluctuations. Almost simultaneously with the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 to start the variation of the first special symbol.

  If S275 is a negative determination (S275: no), a lost symbol is selected (S285), then a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S265), and a variation instruction command that becomes information on the symbol and variation pattern regarding the loss. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 53 (S260). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and displays a pseudo symbol corresponding to the first special symbol based on the information on the lost symbol and the variation pattern. Start the variable display. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 to start the variation of the first special symbol.

  Subsequent to S270, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 9 to determine whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S300). If the determination is affirmative (S300: yes), decrement is performed from the probability variation counter for regulating the transition period to the high probability gaming state (S305), and it is determined whether or not the value of the probability variation counter is 0 (S310). If the determination is affirmative (S310: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S315). By this process, the high probability gaming state is shifted to the normal gaming state. Note that the probability variation counter and the time reduction counter described later are counters shared by the first winning / failing determination process and the second winning / failing determination process described later.

  Subsequent to S315, it is determined whether or not the first state flag is 1 (S320). If the determination is affirmative, the first state flag is set to 0 (S325), the lost symbol is fixedly displayed on the first special symbol display device 9, and an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the lost symbol on the pseudo symbol corresponding to the first special symbol is provided. Processing to transmit to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed (S330). By S325 and S330, the first state ends when the high-probability gaming state ends, the first special figure is displayed as a losing confirmation, and when the losing confirmation process ends, a new variable display of the first special figure is displayed. (First win / fail determination process) can be started.

  Subsequent to the negative determination in S330 or S320 (S320: no), it is determined whether or not the second state flag is 1 (S335). If the determination is affirmative, the second state flag is set to 0 (S340), the lost symbol is confirmed and displayed on the second special symbol display device 10, and an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the lost symbol on the pseudo symbol corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed. Processing to transmit to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed (S345). By S340 and S345, the second state ends when the high-probability gaming state ends, and the second special figure is displayed with losing confirmation, and when the losing confirmation process is completed, a new change of the second special figure is performed. The display (second win / fail determination process) can be started.

  Following S345 or the negative determination of S300, S310, S335 (S300: no, S310: no, S335: no), it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1 (S350). The time reduction flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is 1, it is determined that the time reduction state and the open extension state are satisfied, and if the value is 0, it is determined that the time reduction state and the open extension state are not established. If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), decrement is performed from the time-counter for limiting the period for giving the time-short state (and the extended extension state) (S355), and it is determined whether the value of the time-short counter is 0 (S360). If the determination is affirmative (S360: yes), the hourly flag is set to 0 (S365). By this process, the time-short state and the open extended state are completed. Since the gaming machine of this embodiment is configured as an ST machine, the high-probability gaming state and the open extended state (time-short state) are shifted to the normal gaming state at the same opportunity. Therefore, when the probability variation counter reaches a predetermined value, both the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag may be set to 0.

  Following S365 or S350, S360 negative determination (S350: no, S360: no), a state designation command including information such as a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a time reduction flag is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. (S370), the process proceeds to "special game processing" to be described later.

  Returning to FIG. 8, if S205 is affirmative, that is, if the first special symbol is changing (S205: yes) regardless of the fluctuation status of the second special symbol, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. It is determined whether or not the time has ended (S400). If the determination is affirmative (S400: yes), it is determined whether or not the first special figure whose variable time has ended is a big hit (S405). If the result is out of place (S405: no), the display of the fluctuation of the symbol on the first special symbol display device 9 is terminated, the control of displaying the off symbol selected in S285 is performed, and the pseudo symbol is displayed to the sub integrated control device 83. 1st special figure which transmits the symbol confirmation command which ends the fluctuation display of this and displays the losing pseudo-design is performed, the definite decision symbol display processing is done (S355).

  If S405 is affirmative, that is, if the determination result is a big hit (S405: yes), the first state flag is set to 1 (S410), and the symbol variation display of the first special symbol display device 9 is terminated. , The first state instruction command for performing the fluctuation variation while performing the control for blinking and displaying the jackpot symbol selected in S250, ending the pseudo symbol variation display on the sub-integrated control device 83 and displaying the combination of the pseudo symbols indicating the jackpot. The first status display process to be transmitted is performed (S415).

  According to the display (result notification) indicating the first state performed by the processing of S415, the player has not yet confirmed the big hit, but the result of the determination is a big hit and allows the first gate 91 to pass the game ball. This recognizes that the big hit game is started, and the type of the big hit game executed in that case. Following the negative determination (S400: no) in S415, S420, or S400, the process proceeds to a special game process.

  Returning to FIG. 8, if S207 is negative, that is, if it is in the first state (S207: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 11 to determine whether or not the first gate switch 91a has detected a game ball (S430). If it is determined (S430: no), the process proceeds to the special game process, and if the determination is positive, that is, if the player operates the firing strength and passes the game ball to the first gate 91 (S430: yes), the first state flag is set. 0 is set, and (S433) control is performed to terminate the blinking display of the big hit symbol of the first special figure which has been blinking display in S415, and to confirm and display the big hit symbol, and to the sub integrated control device 83 the first special figure A first special figure big hit fixed symbol display process is performed to end the fluctuation variation of the combination of the pseudo symbols indicating the big jackpot and perform a fixed display (S435). As a result, the first state is terminated and the first special symbol is determined with a big hit.

  Following S435, it is determined whether or not the second state flag is 1 (S438). If the determination is affirmative, that is, if the first state and the second state overlap (S438: yes), the second state also ends. Therefore, 0 is set in the second state flag (S440). Subsequently, the second special chart which has been blinked in S765 described later is controlled to display the blinking display of the big hit symbol, or the normal variation display is terminated, and the fixed symbol is displayed. The second special figure off-set symbol display process is performed to transmit the instruction signal for confirming the combination of the pseudo symbol indicating off and ending the fluctuation fluctuation of the pseudo symbol combination indicating the big hit (S445). As a result, the second state is ended, and the second special symbol is determined as being off. Following the negative determination (S430: no, S438: no) of S445, or S430, S438, the process proceeds to special game processing.

  Returning to FIG. 8, if S210 is affirmative, that is, if the confirmed symbol of the first special symbol is being displayed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 12, and whether or not the confirmed symbol display time of the first special symbol has ended. (S450). If the determination is affirmative (S450: yes), the first special figure fixed symbol display end process of ending the fixed symbol display of the first special symbol and transmitting a command for instructing the sub-integrated control device 83 to end the fixed symbol fixed symbol display. (S455).

  Following the negative determination of S455 or S450 (S450: no), it is determined whether or not the first special symbol on which the fixed symbol display is performed is a big hit symbol (S460). If a negative determination is made (S460: no), the process proceeds to a special game process. If an affirmative determination is made (S460: yes), whether the second special symbol is changing during the process is checked. 2. The process of forcibly ending the variation of the special symbol and performing the definite display of the deviation is performed (S465). In this embodiment, when the change is forcibly terminated, even if the result of the judgment of the other special symbol (in this case, the second special symbol) is a big hit, the result is forcibly discarded. It has a configuration. However, a configuration is also conceivable in which the other variation is interrupted (the time measurement of the other variation time is interrupted) and resumed after the big hit game ends. In this structure, the privilege obtained by the lottery of the other special symbol is not wasted and does not receive any disadvantage.

  Following S465, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S470). If the determination is affirmative (S470: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 (S475). Following the negative determination (S470: no) in S475 or S470, it is determined whether or not the hourly flag is 1 (S480). If the determination is affirmative (S480: yes), 0 is set in the hourly flag (S485). By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state.

  Subsequent to the negative determination of S485 or S480 (S480: no), a process for starting the operation of the condition device is performed (S490), and a process for starting the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is performed (S495). A command for instructing a big hit start effect is transmitted to the control device 83 (S500), and the process proceeds to a special game process. The condition device is a device necessary for the operation of the continuous action device for winning game in the big hit game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device for continuously operating the special electric accessory of the big prize opening 14.

  Next, the second success / failure determination process executed by the main controller 80 will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. This process selects the second special symbol's variable display time and finalized symbol according to the determination of whether or not the second reserved memory is appropriate, and if the determination is a big hit, goes to the second gate 92. This is a process of determining the big hit resulting from the entrance to the second start port 12 based on the entrance of the game ball. Therefore, this process is also a process including the success / failure determination means and the big hit game execution means of the present invention. Note that the basic configuration of this process is the same as that of the above-described first success / failure determination process, and therefore the description will be made with reference to the description of the first success / failure determination process.

  The start condition determination from S550 to S570 of the second success / failure determination process shown in FIG. 13 is because the determination target changes from the first special symbol to the second special symbol and the first state only changes to the second state. The description of the first success / failure determination process is incorporated, and subsequent S575 to S630 are also incorporated because they have the same contents as the first success / failure determination process.

  Following S630, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 14, and the processing of S650 to S665 common to S300 to S315 of the first success / failure determination processing is performed. After S665, the start of the variation of the second special symbol is a high-probability game. The end process of the second state and the end process of the first state when the end of the state is triggered are performed from S670 to S695. This series of processes has a configuration in which the order of the first state and the second state is changed with respect to the processes from S320 to S345 of the first success / failure determination process. The subsequent processing contents from S700 to S720 are also common to S350 to S370 of the first success / failure determination process, and after S720, the process proceeds to a “special game process” described later.

  Returning to FIG. 13, if S555 is affirmative, that is, if the second special symbol is changing (S555: yes) regardless of the fluctuation status of the first special symbol, the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. It is determined whether or not the time has ended (S750). If the determination is affirmative (S750: yes), it is determined whether or not the second special figure whose fluctuation time has ended is a big hit (S755). If the result is out of order (S755: no), the display of the variation of the symbol on the second special symbol display device 10 is terminated, the control for displaying the off symbol selected in S645 is performed, and the pseudo symbol is sent to the sub integrated control device 83. The second special figure transmitting symbol designating command for ending the variable display and sending the symbol design to display the lost pseudo symbol is performed (S770).

  If S755 is affirmative, that is, if the determination result is a big hit (S755: yes), the second status flag is set to 1 (S760), and the symbol variation display of the second special symbol display device 10 is terminated. , The second state instruction command for controlling the blinking display of the jackpot symbol selected in S610, ending the pseudo symbol variation display on the sub integrated control device 83 and displaying the combination of the pseudo symbol indicating the jackpot while changing the state. A second state display process to be transmitted is performed (S765).

  According to the display (result notification) indicating the second state performed in the process of S765, the player has not yet confirmed the big hit, but the result of the determination is a big hit and allows the second gate 92 to pass the game ball. This recognizes that the big hit game is started, and the type of the big hit game executed in that case. Subsequent to the negative determination (S750: no) in S765, S770, or S750, the process proceeds to a special game process.

  Returning to FIG. 13, if S560 is negative, that is, if it is in the second state (S560: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 16 to determine whether or not the second gate switch 92a has detected a game ball (S800). If it is determined (S800: no), the process proceeds to a special game process, and if the determination is affirmative, that is, if the player operates the firing strength and passes the game ball to the second gate 92 (S800: yes), the second state flag is set. 0 is set (S805), and the control is performed to end the blinking display of the big hit symbol of the second special figure which has been blinked in S765 and to confirm and display the big hit symbol, and to the sub integrated control device 83 of the second special figure. A second special figure big hit fixed symbol display process for ending the fluctuation fluctuation of the pseudo symbol combination indicating the big hit and performing a fixed display is performed (S810). As a result, the second state is terminated and the second special symbol is confirmed with a big hit.

  Following S810, it is determined whether or not the first state flag is 1 (S815). If the determination is affirmative, that is, if the second state and the first state overlap (S815: yes), the first state also ends. Therefore, 0 is set in the first status flag (S820). Subsequently, the control of the blinking display of the big hit symbol of the first special figure, which has been blinking display in S415, or the normal variation display is terminated and the fixed symbol is displayed, and the big hit is given to the sub integrated control device 83. The first special figure deviation confirmed symbol display process for transmitting an instruction signal for confirming the combination of the pseudo symbols indicative of deviation is finished (S825). As a result, the first state is ended, and the first special symbol is determined by being detached. Following the negative determination (S800: no, S815: no) of S825, or S800, S815, the process proceeds to special game processing.

  Returning to FIG. 13, if S565 is affirmative, that is, if the confirmed symbol of the second special symbol is being displayed (S565: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 17 and whether or not the confirmed symbol display time of the second special symbol has ended. (S850). If the determination is affirmative (S850: yes), the fixed symbol display of the second special symbol is terminated, and a second special symbol fixed symbol display end process of transmitting a command instructing the sub-integrated control device 83 to terminate the fixed symbol fixed display. (S855).

  Following the negative determination in S855 or S850 (S850: no), it is determined whether or not the second special symbol on which the definite symbol display is performed is a big hit symbol (S860). If the determination is negative (S860: no), the process proceeds to special game processing. If the determination is affirmative (S860: yes), whether the first special symbol is changing during the processing is checked. The process of forcibly ending the variation of one special symbol and performing a definite display of the deviation is performed (S865). Subsequent to S865, S870 to S900 have the same contents as the first win / fail determination process.

  Next, the special game process will be described with reference to FIGS. In this process, the jackpot game set in S260 of FIG. 8 or S620 of FIG. 18 is performed, and at the end of the jackpot game, a probability variation flag and a time-short flag are set, so that a high probability game state and a time-short state after the jackpot game ends. The process (high probability game means, open extension means) is performed.

  When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S950). If the determination is negative (S950: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S950: yes), it is determined whether the special winning opening 14 is open (S955). If the determination is negative (S955: no), it is determined whether the interval is in effect (S960). If not in the interval (S960: no), it is determined whether the jackpot end effect is in progress (S965). (S965: no), it is determined whether or not the jackpot start effect time has ended (S970). If the jackpot start effect time has not ended (S970: no), the process returns and if it has ended (S970: yes) ), A process of opening the special winning opening 14 is performed (S975), and the process returns.

  If the determination in S955 is affirmative, that is, if the special winning opening 14 is open (S955: yes), the process proceeds to S1000 in FIG. 19 to determine whether or not the predetermined winning number 14 (9) has been won (S1000). If the determination is negative (S1000: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended (S1005), and if S1005 is negative (S1005: no), the process returns. If S1000 or S1005 is an affirmative determination (S1000: yes, S1005, yes), a process for closing the big prize opening 14 is performed (S1010), and a command for instructing the sub-integrated control device 83 to start the big hit interval effect is transmitted. A big hit interval process is performed (S1015) and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 18, if S960 is affirmative, that is, if the interval is in progress (S960: yes), the process proceeds to S1020 in FIG. 19 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has ended (S1020), and if negative (S1020: no). ) Return. If the determination is affirmative (S1020: yes), it is determined whether or not the final round of the jackpot game has ended (S1025). If the determination is affirmative (S1025: yes), a command for instructing the jackpot end effect is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. Then, the big hit game is finished (S1030) and the process returns. If the determination is negative (S1025: no), the special winning opening 14 is released (S1035) and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 18, if the determination at S965 is affirmative, that is, if the big hit end effect is being performed (S965: yes), the process proceeds to S1050 of FIG. 20 to determine whether the time of the big hit end effect has ended (S1050). If the determination is negative (S1050: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1050: yes), a process for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation apparatus is performed (S1055), and a process for stopping the operation of the condition apparatus is performed (S1060). .

  Subsequently, since the gaming machine of the present embodiment is configured as a so-called ST machine, regardless of the type of special symbol and the type of jackpot symbol, the high probability gaming state and the short-time state (open extension) after the completion of all jackpot games. (S1065), the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S1070), and the time reduction setting processing to set 100 to the time reduction counter is performed (S1075). Then, the hourly flag is set to 1 (S1080), and the jackpot end command and the state designation command indicating the high probability gaming state and the hourly state are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1085, S1090).

  Subsequently, a jackpot end command and a state designation command indicating a high probability gaming state and a short time state are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1085, S1090), and the process returns. The above is the special game process, and the variation pattern selection table for the first and second special symbols for probability change is set at the end of the big hit game.

  The above is the special game process executed by the main controller 80 in this embodiment, but it is a big hit depending on the symbol mode set in S245 (first special figure) of FIG. 8 and S605 (second special figure) of FIG. The contents of the jackpot game executed according to the type of symbol will be described with reference to the diagram of FIG.

  As shown in the chart, there are six types of jackpot games for both the first special symbol and the second special symbol. In the case of the first special symbol, three types of jackpots 1, 3, and 6 execute a 4-round jackpot game, and three types of jackpots 2, 4, and 6 execute a 10-round jackpot game. In the case of the second special symbol, two types of jackpots 1 and 4 execute 10 rounds of jackpot game, and four types of jackpots 2, 3, 5, and 6 execute 16 rounds of jackpot game.

  With the jackpot game configuration as described above, there are differences in the number of balls that can be acquired depending on the type of jackpot symbol even in each special chart, and in addition, the case where the second special chart is a big hit is the first. The structure is such that more jackpots can be expected than when the special figure is a jackpot.

  In addition, after all the big hit games are over, until the special symbol starts displaying the fluctuation of 100 times (more specifically, until the total number of times of determination of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 100). The ST period is a high-probability gaming state and an open extended state (short-time state). Therefore, during the ST period, the number of changes in the second special figure (number of times of success / failure determination) is greatly increased compared to the normal gaming state due to the operation of the opening extension function.

  Next, display contents on the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 shows a basic screen configuration when the effect symbol display device 6 performs pseudo-variable display in conjunction with the first special diagram and the second special diagram. 1 (a) shows a screen configuration in a normal state. The upper part of the screen is a first pseudo symbol display area linked to the first special figure, the lower part of the screen is a second pseudo symbol display area linked to the second special figure, and the lower end of the screen is a reserved symbol display area.

  Specifically, in the first pseudo symbol display area at the top of the screen, the variation of the effect of the first pseudo symbol in the middle left and right linked to the first special symbol is displayed, and in the second pseudo symbol display area at the bottom of the screen, the second special symbol display area. The effect variation of the second pseudo symbol on the middle left and right corresponding to the figure is displayed, and in the reserved symbol display area at the bottom of the screen, the reserved symbol corresponding to the number of the first reserved memory is on the left and the second reserved memory on the right The reserved symbol corresponding to the number of is displayed.

  1 (b) in FIG. 22 shows the ST period (high probability gaming state, open extended state (short-time state)), the gaming state changes from the normal state of (a) to the probability change of (b), open extended state (ST When the state changes, the background on the effect symbol display device 6 changes, and an ST remaining number display area appears, and the remaining number of fluctuations of the special symbol indicating the ST period is displayed in the area. The displayed number is decremented by 1 every time the first special symbol and the second special symbol start to fluctuate (performance determination is carried out), and when ST becomes 0, the ST ends and the display content also returns to the normal state. . In the normal state of (a), since the game ball does not enter the second start port 12 unless the ordinary electric accessory is activated, the first pseudo symbol mainly performs the effect variation. During the ST period of (b), the variation frequency of the first pseudo symbol does not change from the normal time, and the variation frequency of the second pseudo symbol increases. This is because, during the ST period when the high probability gaming state is set, whether or not the first special figure is determined at the same frequency as the normal time, the opening extension function (short-time function) is used to display the fluctuation at the same time as the first special figure. This is because the frequency of determining whether or not the second special figure is possible increases.

  23 in FIG. 23 is a display example showing the first state. In this case, the first pseudo symbol display area (first pseudo symbol) is reduced, and the same symbol in the middle left and right swings up and down to inform the player that the big hit has not yet been determined. The first state notification area is provided in the space generated by the reduction, and the first state notification area displays, for example, a character string “10 rounds of big hit start when passing through gate A”. The player is informed of the conditions for starting the big hit game corresponding to the big hit of the first special figure during one state and the contents of the big hit game executed when the condition is satisfied.

  When the player adjusts the firing strength in accordance with the display contents described above and passes the game ball to the first gate 91, the reduced first pseudo symbol display area is enlarged to the original size and at the same time the left middle right The up / down fluctuation of the pseudo symbol is finished, and the big hit symbol of the first pseudo symbol at the fixed position is displayed.

  During the first state, the effect variation is displayed in the second pseudo-symbol display area, but when the game ball passes through the first gate 91 (when the first pseudo-symbol performs the final display of the jackpot symbol), Regardless of the determination result of the second special figure, the combination of loses is displayed in the second pseudo symbol display area (FIG. 11, S430 to S445).

  23 in FIG. 23 is a display example indicating the second state. In this case, the second pseudo symbol display area (second pseudo symbol) is reduced, and the symbol swings up and down in the middle left and right, while notifying the player that the big hit has not yet been determined. The second state notification area is provided in the space generated by the reduction, and, for example, by displaying a character string “16 rounds of big hit when passing the B gate” in the second state notification area, The player is notified of the conditions for starting the big hit game corresponding to the big hit of the second special figure during the two states, and the contents of the big hit game executed when the conditions are satisfied.

  When the player adjusts the firing strength in accordance with the display content described above and passes the game ball through the second gate 92, the reduced second pseudo symbol display area expands to the original size and at the same time the left middle right The up-and-down fluctuation of the pseudo symbol is finished, and the big hit symbol of the second pseudo symbol at a fixed position is displayed.

  During the second state, the first pseudo-symbol display area displays an effect variation that is the same as the normal state, but when the game ball passes through the second gate 92 (the second pseudo-symbol displays a decisive display of the jackpot symbol At that time, the combination of the loss is displayed in the first pseudo symbol display area regardless of the result of the first special figure determination (FIG. 16, S800 to S825).

  Reference numeral 4 in FIG. 24 is a display example showing a situation in which the first state and the second state overlap. In this case, both the first state notification area and the second state notification area described in 2 and 3 of FIG. 23 are displayed at the same time, so that the first gate 91 (A) and the second gate 92 (B) It is possible to determine which gate will allow more jackpots to be acquired.

  In the display example, it can be seen that more game balls can be acquired by passing the second gate 92 (B) and starting the 16-round big hit game from the big special hit of the second special symbol. In a state where the first state and the second state overlap, when the game ball passes through one of the gates (the first gate 91 (A) or the second gate 92 (B)), the first and second Both the states are ended, and the jackpot game indicated by the special figure related to the gate that has passed is started, and the special figure related to the gate that has not passed is forcibly displayed as a symbol.

  The above is the description of the embodiment. In the present embodiment, the high probability game state and the open extended state are continued until the special symbol fluctuates 100 times after the big hit game ends. However, the predetermined number of times of the continuation is 100 times. Not limited to this, it is preferable to appropriately set a predetermined number of times according to the relationship between the big hit probability and the big hit appearance ball.

  If the player enters the first state at an early stage (for example, about 10 rotations) after entering the high-probability gaming state, until the end of the ST period, the player is aiming for a more advantageous second state in an open extended state. Although it is possible to enter the second starting port 12 made of the ordinary electric accessory that has become easier to enter, in this case, aiming for the big hit of the second special figure and responding to the entry into the ordinary electric accessory It is also possible to increase the number of holding balls little by little.

  In this embodiment, when the first state or the second state is shifted to the normal state, the first state or the second state is maintained until the game ball passes through the corresponding gate. This is because the probability of a big hit during the normal state is low, and it is difficult to enter the ordinary electric accessory, so that even if the first state or the second state is continued, a more advantageous big hit is obtained. This is because the probability is extremely difficult, so that it can be assumed that after the transition to the first state or the second state, the corresponding gate is passed immediately. However, regardless of the gaming state, in order to avoid leaving the seat for a long time while maintaining the first state or the second state, it is a big hit when a predetermined time elapses after shifting to the first state or the second state. It is good also as a structure which confirms and starts a big hit game.

  In this embodiment, all the big hit games are started by passing the game ball through the first gate 91 or the second gate 92 even in the normal state, but the gate is not allowed to pass during the normal game. Is a configuration that starts a big hit game (a configuration that does not shift to the first state or the second state from a normal game), and a configuration that starts a big hit game by passing the gate only during a high probability game state (a high probability game) It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the transition from the state to the first state or the second state is possible. This is because, in the high probability game state, the chances of both the first special figure and the second special figure being displayed simultaneously are increased in the high probability game state. By concentrating the sex, it is possible to make the game stand out.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the big win is won by the determination of success / failure, and the special symbol starts to change in accordance with the corresponding selection, the big hit symbol flashes after the predetermined time change is performed (during the first state, Alternatively, during the second state, the corresponding special symbol blinks), and the jackpot symbol may be confirmed and displayed without blinking. However, when the other special symbol is fluctuating, the other special symbol may be forcibly removed and stopped at the symbol when the game ball passes through the first gate 91 or the second gate 92.

  In addition, the ST period in the present embodiment ends when the 100th special symbol change is started, but the ST period may be ended when the 100th confirmation display is performed.

  As described above, according to the ball game machine of the present invention, two types of special symbols are provided, and a gate for determining the big hit of each special symbol is provided corresponding to each special symbol. Even if it becomes a big hit that the player does not want, it becomes possible to win a more advantageous big hit with the other special symbol. Therefore, it can be applied to a ball game machine having a gate provided with a function for determining a big hit for each type of special symbol.
