Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that switches between a probable change state that is likely to be a hit in the determination of success and a non-probability change state that is not.

  Conventionally, this type of gaming machine has a special event associated with a profit increase event (for example, promotion from a normal state (that is, a non-probability change state) to a probability change state) that triggers an increase in a player's profit. It is configured to give excitement and joy to the player by performing an effect (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2005-006677 A (paragraph [0091])

  However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, since the profit increase event is not frequently performed, the sense of excitement and joy associated with the profit increase event is weakened, and there is a problem that interest in the game is reduced. In addition, if the profit increase event is frequently performed, there is a problem that the profit of the game hall owning the gaming machine is lowered.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of maintaining a sense of excitement and pleasure associated with a profit increase event for a longer time than before.

  The gaming machine according to the first aspect of the invention, which has been made to achieve the above object, is based on the determination result of the success / failure determination means for performing the determination of the success / failure when the predetermined determination result determination condition is satisfied, and the determination result of the determination of the success / failure , A profit increase event execution means for executing a profit increase event that triggers an increase in the profit of the player, a dummy event execution means for executing a dummy event different from the profit increase event, based on the determination result of the success / failure determination, and a profit A special effect is executed with at least one of the conditions that the increase event has been executed, and a special effect that is the same as or similar to the special effect is executed with at least one of the conditions that the dummy event has been executed. Special effect execution means that perform a big hit game that executes a big hit game that allows a player to obtain a profit larger than usual when a hit is determined by the success / failure determination And a profit increase event for switching from the normal gaming state to the privilege gaming state in which the execution frequency of the big hit game is increased from the normal gaming state due to the establishment of the preset gaming state switching condition A game state switching means as an increase event execution means, a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, an open state provided in the game area where the game balls are easy to win, and a closed state where the game balls are difficult to win Normally, the start winning opening that is maintained in the closed state, and the start opening determination means for performing the start opening determination as to whether or not to open the start winning opening when a predetermined start opening determination condition is satisfied. And the winning / incoming determination means is configured to make a determination as to whether or not the game ball is won at the start winning opening, and the privilege gaming state is a probability variation state with a relatively high probability of winning / failing determination. The normal gaming state is set to be a non-probability change state with a relatively low probability of success / failure determination, and the gaming state is required for notification of the determination result of the start-up determination compared to the non-time-short state and the non-time-short state. When the time is short and the opening time of the start winning opening when the start / open judgment is hit is included, the short state includes a short state, and the short state includes a short state and a short state with a probability change which is a short state and a probabilistic state, It includes a short-time state and a non-probability-variable short-time state, which is provided in the game area and is switched between an open state in which game balls are easy to win and a closed state in which game balls are hard to win, and is normally closed. Maintained and opened due to the determination result of the success / failure determination, provided with a probability variation determination prize opening that is divided into a probability variation confirmation region and a non-probability variation confirmation region, and was a big hit in the success / failure determination Probably due to The game state switching means is configured so that the separate winning opening is in an open state, and the gaming state switching means is in a short state when there is no probability change, and the probability change determination winning port is opened due to a big hit, and the game ball changes into the probability change confirmation region when the game ball wins. Switched to the short state with the probability change, with the short state with the probability variation, the probability variation determination winning opening is opened due to the big hit, and if the game ball does not win in the probability variation confirmation area, it switches to the short state without the probability variation, Switch to the normal gaming state when the predetermined first consecutive outage upper limit number is exceeded and the result is judged as a failure or when there is no probability change, and when the predetermined second consecutive outage upper limit number is exceeded and the result is judged as a result of the result. The special effect execution means executes the special effect on at least one of the conditions that the normal game state is switched to the short time state with probability change, and the short time state with probability change from the short state without probability change. Having characterized in that the switching to the state in the one of the at least conditionally perform specialized effect.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the game machine is switched between an open state in which a game ball is easy to win and a closed state in which the game ball is hard to win. The jackpot game executing means executes the round in which the prize winning opening is opened a plurality of times, the executable game is executed as a jackpot game, and the dummy event executing means is a jackpot game. The present invention is characterized in that a small hit game having a smaller number of rounds and / or a short open state of one round is executed as a dummy event.

  The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that, in the gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, the special effect is an effect that requires the player to operate an operation unit provided in the game machine.

  In the gaming machine according to claim 1, since the special effect is executed with at least one of the conditions for executing the profit increase event that triggers the increase in the profit of the player, the special effect and the increase in the profit for the player are Strongly tied. In other words, when a special effect is performed, a so-called “scrubbing” is performed in which a related event in the game leads to an increase in profit. A special effect that is the same as or similar to the special effect is executed on at least one of the conditions that the dummy event is executed, so that the excitement and joyful feeling associated with the profit increase event is evoked by the dummy event. Is done. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to maintain a sense of excitement and joy associated with a profit increase event for a longer time than before.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the switching from the normal gaming state to the privilege gaming state in which the execution frequency of the jackpot game is increased is executed as the profit increasing event, so that the profit increasing event and the increase in profit for the player are linked. It becomes possible.

  Furthermore, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the bonus game state is a probable change state, while the normal game state is a non-probability change state, so the player's profit increases when switching from the normal game state to the special game state triggered by a jackpot It becomes possible to make it easy to recognize.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of the present invention, not only the special effect is executed on at least one of the conditions that the normal gaming state is switched to the short time state with the probability change, but also the short time state without the probability change is switched to the short time state with the probability change. Since special effects are executed with at least one of the above conditions, the frequency of execution of special effects increases, and if special effects are performed, related events in the game will lead to a significant increase in profits. Will become stronger.

  In the gaming machine according to claim 2, since the small hit game having a smaller number of rounds or / and a short open state of one round is executed as a dummy event than the big hit game, the execution of the big hit game is executed by executing the small hit game. The sense of excitement and joy that accompanies it can also be evoked, yet it is possible to suppress a decrease in the profit of the game hall because the small win game has less profit for the player than the big hit game.

  In the gaming machine according to claim 3, the special effect is an effect that requires the player to operate the operation unit provided in the game machine. The “rebound” that the events in the game related to it lead to a significant increase in profits becomes stronger.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is switched between a time-saving state and a non-time-saving state. Specifically, regardless of whether the first start gate 18A or the second start gate 18B is won, whether the winning time is a short-time state or a non-short-time state, the time when the normal determination is made is a non-short-time state. If this is the case, the determination result is notified after 1000 to 20000 [ms] of the normal map determination notification effect, and the probability is 99/100, while the probability is 1/100. The winning opening 14B is opened only once for 90 [ms]. On the other hand, if the time of the normal map determination is in the short-time state, the determination result is notified after the 1000 [ms] general map determination notification effect, and the probability is 1/100, while the probability is 99/100. When the winning is reached, the second start winning opening 14B is opened for 500 [ms] three times. The second start winning opening 14B corresponds to the “start winning opening” of the present invention, the normal determination corresponds to the “start opening determination” of the present invention, and the first and second start gates 18A, 18B Winning a prize corresponds to “satisfaction of start / open determination condition”, and a control program for performing normal determination corresponds to “start / open determination means” of the present invention.

  The special figure determination is a determination to randomly determine whether or not to execute a jackpot game, which will be described in detail later, such as opening the first grand prize winning opening 15 and the second big winning prize opening 31, and the first and second starting Due to the winning in any of the winning openings 14A and 14B, a “special drawing determination / determination right” that is a right to make a special drawing determination is generated. The maximum number of special figure success / failure judgment rights is reserved, and the special figure judgment is performed by using them one by one in the order of occurrence. In addition, the number of reserved special figure determination / rejection rights that are put on hold is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G only in the non-short-time state on the liquid crystal screen 13G. Only the special figure success / failure determination right related to winning at the 2 start winning opening 14B is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G. It should be noted that this special figure determination corresponds to the “win / no-go determination” of the present invention, and winning in each of the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B corresponds to “satisfaction determination condition establishment” of the present invention, The control program for performing the special figure determination corresponds to the “appropriate determination unit” of the present invention. Further, the number of reserves corresponding to the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B is also notified by the LED 39 group outside the game area R1 shown in FIG.

The special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C, etc. on the right are used. These special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are composed of, for example, a plurality of types of numbers representing numbers “0” to “9”. Usually, each special symbol 13A, 13B, and 13C has a predetermined type. Stuff is displayed stopped. When the special figure determination is performed, these three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed in a variable manner (scrolled in the vertical direction), and after a predetermined time based on the special figure determination result, for example, left, middle, The special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are stopped and displayed in the right order. At this time, in the case of a big hit, for example, all the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C become the same symbol, i.e., a doublet, and in the case of losing, the special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are stopped and displayed in a combination other than the doublet. The special figure determination notification effect is also performed by the lighting pattern of the LEDs 39 outside the game area R1 shown in FIG.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation state (corresponding to the “privileged gaming state” of the present invention) that has a high probability of being a big hit in the special figure determination, and a probability of being a big hit in the special figure determination from the probability variation state. The state is switched to a non-probable change state (corresponding to the “normal game state” of the present invention). Specifically, regardless of whether the first or second start winning opening 14A or 14B has been won, regardless of whether the winning time is in a probabilistic state or a non-probable state, the special figure determination is performed. If so, the probability of being a big hit is set to 1/100, and if it is an uncertain change state, the probability of being a big hit is set to 1/400.

  When the special figure determination is performed, a predetermined special figure determination notification effect is performed, and then the determination result of the special figure determination is notified. If the determination result is a big hit, the big hit game is executed. Here, the jackpot relating to winning at the first start winning opening 14A is set to be a jackpot with a bonus with a probability of 50%, and a jackpot without a bonus with a probability of the remaining 50%. On the other hand, the jackpot related to winning at the second start winning opening 14B is set to be a bonus jackpot with a privilege with a probability of 100%.

  When it is a big hit (corresponding to the “big hit game execution means” of the present invention), a big hit game composed of 16 rounds is executed regardless of whether the big hit is a bonus hit with a bonus or a bonus hit without a bonus. The first grand prize opening 15 opens in rounds 13 to 15, and the second big prize opening 31 opens in rounds 14 and 16. However, the opening times of the first big prize opening 15 and the second big prize opening 31 in rounds 14 to 16 differ depending on whether a bonus hit with a bonus or a bonus hit without a bonus. Regardless of whether the jackpot is a jackpot with a bonus or a bonus jack without a bonus, the jackpot game will be in a short-time state, but the bonus jackpot with a bonus will be longer in the short-time state. In addition to this, when the winning ball in the second big winning opening 31 passes through the V winning hole 45B during the big hit game, the state becomes a probable state after the big hit game. Note that the probability change state after the big hit game due to the special figure determination performed in the non-probability change state corresponds to the “profit increase event” of the present invention, and the control program when this probability change state is “ This corresponds to “profit increase event execution means”. In addition, the fact that the winning ball in the second big winning opening 31 passes through the V winning hole 45B during the big hit game corresponds to the “game state switching condition” of the present invention. A control program for switching between the state and the uncertain change state corresponds to the “game state switching means” of the present invention.

  Here, when a big hit game with a bonus is executed, the opening time of the first big prize opening 15 or the second big prize opening 31 becomes, for example, 30 seconds in all rounds, and many game balls win the first big prize. It becomes possible to win a prize at the mouth 15 and the second big prize opening 31. On the other hand, when a big hit game without bonus is executed, the opening time of the first big prize opening 15 is 30 seconds in rounds 1 to 13, for example, but in the rounds 14 to 16, the first big prize opening 15 and The opening time of the second big prize opening 31 is 0.04 seconds, for example, and it becomes extremely difficult to win the first big prize opening 15 and the second big prize opening 31. Accordingly, the second big prize winning opening 31 can be won only when the big hit game with the bonus is executed. In addition, the slide lid 46 opens and closes at a timing that hardly enters the V winning hole 45B even if a game ball wins during the opening time of the second big prize opening 31 in the case of the big hit without bonus, for example, the second big prize opening 31. Even if a prize is won, it is very rare to win the V winning hole 45B and enter a promising state after a big hit game.

  Therefore, when a big hit game with no special bonus is executed, it is substantially impossible to win the second big winning opening 31. State)). On the other hand, when a bonus hit with a bonus is awarded by special figure determination, when the winning ball to the second big winning opening 31 passes through the V winning hole 45B during the big hit game by the big hit, in a short time state after the big hit game If the winning ball is not passed through the V winning hole 45B during the big hit game due to the big hit, it becomes a probable change state (this is called “highly accurate time short state”). After the game, it will be in a short state with low probability. In addition, after the high-accuracy time-short state is reached, if the special figure determination is not performed continuously for a predetermined number of times (for example, 161 times), the non-time-short state and the non-probability change state, that is, the “normal state” is restored. . On the other hand, in the low-accuracy short-time state, the normal state is restored when a special figure determination is made continuously for a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). This predetermined number of times (161 times) of the special figure determination for returning from the high-accuracy short time state to the normal state corresponds to the “continuous outage upper limit number” and the “first continuous outage upper limit number” of the present invention. The predetermined multiple times (100 times) of the special figure determination for returning from the normal state to the normal state correspond to the “second consecutive outlier upper limit number” of the present invention. Note that the number of special figure determinations when returning from the high accuracy short time state to the normal state and the number of special figure determinations when returning from the low accuracy time short state to the normal state may be the same or different. May be.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, “small hit” is provided as an exception to the special figure determination. When a small hit is made, a small hit game is executed to open the first big winning opening 15, but the first big winning opening 15 is opened only once for 1.6 seconds, for example. The number of prize balls obtained by winning a game ball in the one big prize opening 15 is very small. In other words, even if a small hit is made, the player's profit is hardly increased. This small hit corresponds to the “dummy event” of the present invention, and the control program for executing the small hit corresponds to the “dummy event executing means” of the present invention. It should be noted that the determination result of the special figure determination is “small hit” only in the special figure determination by winning the second start winning opening 14B, and the probability of the small hit is, for example, 1 regardless of the gaming state. / 1000. Further, since most of the winnings to the second start winning opening 14B occur during the time reduction, most of the small hits also occur during the time reduction. After the small hit game, the game is played in the same game state as before the small hit game.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a different effect displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G depending on whether it is in a normal state or in a short time state. Done. Specifically, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a normal state, for example, a normal state effect image in which the main character before transformation is facing a weak enemy character is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G. In the normal state effect image, whenever the special figure determination is performed, the main character before transformation is engaged with a weak enemy character, and the main character continues to lose while it is out of the special figure determination. Then, when a big hit is made in the special figure determination, the leading character wins and is promoted from the normal state to the short time state.

  When switching to the short-time state, the transformed main character is an image confronting the enemy character, and a short-time effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G as the enemy character to be battled changes every time special figure determination is performed. More specifically, a predetermined plurality of types of enemy characters that compete with the main character are set, and the enemy character that becomes the opponent changes randomly each time special figure determination is performed. The defeated enemy character will not reappear while the short state continues at that time. That is, it is possible to enjoy the story effect of making a big hit in the special figure determination while continuing the short-time state and sequentially defeating the enemy characters. Further, in the story production, a plurality of types of enemy characters of a so-called middle boss case are included in a plurality of types of enemy characters (for example, three types), and all the enemy characters of the middle boss case are defeated. So-called enemy characters of the last boss appear. That is, a story effect can be obtained by defeating a plurality of enemy characters of the middle boss case and obtaining a stepwise achievement feeling, and when defeating an enemy character of the last boss case, a great achievement feeling can be obtained. In addition, when falling to the normal state, the story effect in the short time state before the fall is reset, and when returning to the short time state again, the story effect is started from the beginning.

  Now, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the first condition that the state is promoted from a state other than the high-accuracy short-time state (that is, the normal state and the low-accuracy short-time state) to the high-accuracy short-time state, and the high-accuracy short-time state. The special effect according to the present invention is performed when the second condition that a big hit is made during the special figure determination within four times from the promotion to the position is established. As the special effect, for example, an image in which an enemy character is stabbed with a sword is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G, and a message “stab the sword (lower the sword on the right side down)” is displayed. On the other hand, when the operation to depress the push operation unit 76 is performed, the sword displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G is pushed down in conjunction with the operation. Then, along with the image that the enemy character is defeated, a message is displayed that the special character determination has been promoted to a big hit and a probable change state.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in addition to the first condition and the second condition, the third condition that the small hit game is executed and within four times after the small hit game is executed. The special effect according to the present invention is performed when the fourth condition that the winning is made during the special figure determination is established. The special effects are the same as the special effects performed when the first and second conditions are satisfied, except that “a message indicating that the player has been promoted to a probable change state is displayed”. Control program, liquid crystal screen 13G, and pressing operation for performing special effects after the promotion from the state other than the high-accuracy time-short state (normal state and low-accuracy time-short state) to the high-accuracy time-short state and after the small hit game is performed The unit 76 corresponds to “special effect execution means” of the present invention. For example, the special effect may be executed only when the first condition is satisfied, or the special effect may be executed only when the third condition is satisfied.

  The explanation regarding the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment relates to a control program other than the control program (FIGS. 6 to 46) for controlling the game content and the game state status (FIG. 47) controlled by the control program. That's it. These will be described in detail later, and then the operational effects of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the time is shortened, the movable door 14C of the second start winning opening 14B is easy to open, and more likely to be a big hit than usual, so many game balls are discharged, Since the second start winning opening 14B is hardly opened when the time is not short, the player first plays a game aiming for winning at the first starting winning opening 14A.

  Then, the left-handed game is played until the big hit is made by the special figure determination by the winning at the first start winning opening 14A, and when the big hit becomes the big hit with the bonus, the game state after the big hit is now, the game ball is on the left side portion. The possibility that the game ball flows down the right side area and wins the second start winning opening 14B is more advantageous to the player than the possibility of flowing down the area and winning the first starting winning opening 14A. . In addition, if the second start winning opening 14B is won, it is more likely that the winning in the second starting winning opening 14B than the first starting winning opening 14A will be a big hit with a bonus than the first starting winning opening 14A. Therefore, a so-called right-handed game is performed in which the operation knob 77 is operated so that the game ball flows down the right side region.

  And if it becomes a jackpot with a privilege and passes the V prize hole 45B of the 2nd big prize opening 31, it will be promoted to a highly accurate time-short state. After that, if the probability of winning a big hit increases and the right-handed game is continued, if a big hit is made, many bonus hits with bonuses will be generated, and many prize balls can be obtained. For this reason, the player feels great excitement and joy when promoted to a highly accurate time-short state. Then, when the player is promoted to the high-accuracy time-short state and hits a big hit with the special figure determination within 4 times, the special effect is executed before the excitement and joy when the promotion is promoted to the high-accuracy time-short state is not cooled. In the special effect, an operation of depressing the pressing operation unit 76 is required, and the player also participates in the special effect. A similar special effect is also executed when the player is promoted from the low-accuracy short-time state to the high-accuracy short-time state, and the bonus is determined by the special figure determination within four times. It should be noted that the number of special figure judgments (four times) that the special performance is executed after the promotion from the low-accuracy short-time state to the high-accuracy short-time state and when the big hit is made after the small hit game is implemented is the “regulation of the present invention”. This corresponds to “the number of determinations”.

  After a while, it becomes a monotonous state in which a big hit game is executed occasionally with a high-precision time-short state. In such a state, there may be a small hit in the special figure determination. Then, when the big hit is made in the special figure determination within four times after the small hit game is executed, the special effect is executed, and the player is requested to push down the pressing operation unit 76 again. Excitement and joy will be evoked when promoted to high accuracy and short time.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the special effect is executed with at least one of the conditions as a significant increase in profit that is switched from the non-probability change state to the probability change state. A significant increase in profits is strongly linked. That is, when a special effect is performed, a so-called “revolution” is performed in which there is a high possibility that an event in the game related to the special effect will lead to a significant increase in profit. And since the special effect that approximates the special effect is executed under at least one of the conditions that the small hit game is executed, the excitement and joy associated with the promotion to the probabilistic state is achieved by executing the small hit game. Arouses a sense. That is, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to maintain a sense of excitement and joy associated with promotion to a probable state for a longer time than before. In addition, the small hit game is different from the big hit game in that the number of times of opening the first big prize opening 15 is small and the opening time is short, so that the excitement and joy associated with the execution of the big hit game is due to the execution of the small hit game. A sense can also be evoked, and while a small hit game has less profit for a player than a big hit game, a decrease in the profit of the game hall can be suppressed.

  Further, when the special effect is executed with at least one of the conditions for executing the small hit game being included, it is also included in the condition that the time is short, so the value of the small hit game is increased. Furthermore, the special effect is not only executed by at least one of the conditions that the normal state is switched to the high-accuracy time-short state, but at least one of the conditions is that the low-accuracy time-short state is switched to the high-accuracy time-short state. As the special performance is executed, the execution frequency of the special production accompanied by a significant increase in profit increases, and if the special production is performed, the related events in the game will lead to a significant increase in profit. Will become stronger. Moreover, since the special effect is an effect that requires the player to operate the push operation unit 76 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is likely to remain in the player's memory and feeling, and in this respect too, "smashing" is strong. Become. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of times of continuous detachment in the special figure determination during the probability variation state switches to the non-probability variation state on condition that the number of consecutive detachments has reached the upper limit number of times (161 times). So there is an opportunity to be promoted to a probable state again.

  Next, a control program for performing the above game will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the main control circuit performs processing for determining a normal figure, special figure, changing a game state, etc., and depending on the result, the sub control circuit determines the content of the game effect, executes it, etc. It is comprised so that this process may be performed. And the game of the said game content is performed by the main control circuit, a sub control circuit, and another sub circuit. The CPU of the main control circuit includes a determination unit, a control unit, a calculation unit, various counters, various registers, various flags, etc., and performs calculation control and also generates random numbers related to special figure determination and common figure determination. The control signal (command) can be output (transmitted) to other control circuits and relay circuits. The RAM of the main control circuit includes a storage area for the number of special symbol reservation balls and the number of normal symbol reservation balls, a storage area for various random values generated by the CPU, a storage area and flags for temporarily storing various data, A work area for the CPU is provided. In addition, main control circuit main program PG1 and control data, symbol variation data related to variation display in a normal symbol display device, and the like are written in the ROM of the main control circuit, as well as “big hit” and “small hit”. In addition, a judgment value of “per common figure”, which is a hit of the common figure determination, is written.

  Hereinafter, the main control circuit main program PG1 related to the above-described special figure determination and special effects will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In the following description, the “general symbol determination notification effect” and the “special symbol determination notification effect” of the above configuration are referred to as “ordinary symbol variation” and “special symbol variation”, respectively.

  When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on, the main control circuit provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 executes the main control circuit main program PG1. As shown in FIG. 6, the main control circuit main program PG1 first performs initial setting of the CPU and the like (S1). The initial setting (S1) is performed only once after the power is turned on, and is not performed thereafter.

  Following the initial setting (S1), the following steps S2 to S4 are performed in a loop for the remaining time until an interrupt process (S5) described later is executed. First, interrupts are prohibited (S2), and even if a timer interrupt comes in, interrupt processing is not performed until the interrupt is enabled. Subsequently, normal symbol / special symbol random number update processing (S3) is executed. In this process (S3), 1 is added to update various random number counters such as normal symbols and special symbols. The updated counter value is stored in the updated value storage area of the RAM one by one. When the normal symbol / special symbol random number update process (S3) is completed, the interrupt is permitted (S4), and the interrupt process (S5) can be executed.

  Here, each random number counter starts from 0 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on, and is incremented by 1 when random number update processing (S3, S11) is performed, and reaches the maximum value of the “numerical value range”. It is set to 0 and the addition is repeated again. When the game ball passes through the starting gate or wins a winning opening, a counter value corresponding to each is acquired and stored in the RAM. In the random number storage area of the RAM, each acquired counter value can be stored up to “4”, which is the upper limit of suspension. And each counter value (random number value) memorize | stored in the random-number storage area is used for a game in an order from an old thing.

  The interrupt process (S5) is executed according to an interrupt pulse input at a cycle of 4 msec, for example. Then, during the remaining processing period from the end of the interrupt process (S5) to the start of the next interrupt process (S5), various counter values are updated by the normal symbol / special symbol random number update process (S3). Repeatedly executed multiple times. If an interrupt pulse is input in the interrupt disabled state, the interrupt process (S5) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S4).

  The main interrupt process (S5) will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, in the main interrupt processing (S5), first, command processing (S10) is performed. In the command processing (S10), various commands set in the output buffer of the RAM are output to the corresponding sub control device (for example, a display control device, a lamp control device, etc.).

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S11) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S3) performed in the loop process of the main control circuit main program PG1 described above. is there. That is, the update processing of various counter values is performed within the execution period of the main interrupt process (S5) and the remaining process period (after the main interrupt process (S5) ends, until the next main interrupt process (S5) starts. In both period).

  Following the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S11), the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S12) is executed. The start winning port switch detection process (S12) is shown in FIG. 8, and the first winning gate 18A and the second starting gate 18B and the first and second starting winning ports 14A and 14B are respectively passed or awarded. Then, the corresponding number of reserved balls is added and a random number for determining whether or not the game is successful is obtained. Specifically, it is first determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the start gate (S100). If the game ball has passed the start gate (Yes in S100), a gate passage process (S101) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the gate passing process (S101), it is determined whether or not the number of normal symbol holding balls (the number of holdings of the normal symbol variation display) is 4 or more (has reached the holding upper limit) ( S110) If it is not 4 or more (No in S110), 1 is added to the number of normal symbol reserved balls (S111), and the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S112) is executed. That is, the normal symbol appropriateness determination counter value is acquired as a random number from the update value storage area of the RAM and stored in the random number storage area of the RAM. On the other hand, when the number of normal symbol reserved balls is 4 or more (Yes in S110), the process exits (S101).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, after the determination in step S100 is No (when the vehicle has not passed through the start gate) and after performing the gate pass processing (S101), the first start winning port 14A (flow chart) Then, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won a prize (denoted as “Special Figure 1 Start Winning Port”) (S102). If the game ball has not won the first start winning opening 14A (No in S102), the game ball has won the second start winning opening 14B (denoted as “special drawing 2 start winning opening” in the flowchart). It is determined whether or not (S106). If a game ball has won the first start winning opening 14A (Yes in S102), it is determined whether or not the current special figure 1 holding ball number is 4 or more (holding upper limit) (S103). If the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 is 4 or more (Yes in S103), the process exits the process (S12) as it is. One reserved ball number is incremented by 1 (S104), and special figure related random number acquisition processing (S105) is executed. Specifically, special symbol-related counter values are acquired from the update value storage area of the RAM and stored in the random number storage area of the RAM. Then, the special figure determination result and the variation time are acquired based on the acquired counter value, the contents thereof are set in the winning command, and the winning command is set in the output buffer of the RAM. Thereafter, this process (S12) is exited.

  If a game ball has not won in the first start winning opening 14A (No in S102) and a game ball has won in the second start winning opening 14B (Yes in S106), the current number of reserved 2 reserved balls Is 4 or more (holding upper limit) (S107). If the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 2 is 4 or more (Yes in S107), this process (S12) is exited as it is. 2 Add 1 to the number of reserved balls (S108), and execute special figure related random number acquisition processing (S109). This special figure related random number acquisition process (S109) is the same as the special figure related random number acquisition process (S105) executed after the special figure 1 reserved ball number addition process (S104). Thereafter, this process (S12) is exited.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a normal operation process (S13) is performed after the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S12). In this process (S13), whether or not the “game per game” is to be performed is determined based on the random number value for determining whether or not the normal symbol is acquired (stored in the random number storage area of the RAM) obtained under the condition that the start gate is passed. If the determination result is “per normal”, the movable door 14C provided at the second start winning opening 14B is opened and closed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, first, a “game per game” in which the movable door 14C (denoted as “opening / closing member” in the flowchart) falls forward and the second start winning opening 14B opens is being executed. It is determined whether or not (S120). If it is during “game per game” (Yes in S120), it is determined whether or not a predetermined game period per game has passed (S121). When the game period per base figure has not passed (No in S121), the process exits from this process (S13). On the other hand, when the game period per base figure has passed (Yes in S121), the game end process per base figure After performing the opening / closing member closing process (S122), the process exits (S13).

  If the game per game is not being executed (No in S120), it is determined whether or not the number of normal symbol reserved balls related to the start gate is 0 (S123). If the number of retained normal symbol balls is “0” (Yes in S123), the process exits from this process (S13), whereas if it is not “0” (No in S123), the normal symbol stored in the RAM. A random number for determination of validity is loaded (S124).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the current common map determination is performed with “high probability” (S125), and if it is performed with high probability (Yes in S125), the determination result for high probability is The normal symbol determination is performed by comparing the loaded random number for normal symbol determination (S126). Here, in the common figure determination, it is determined that the common figure determination is performed with a “high probability” when the gaming state is “time-short state” regardless of whether or not the probability change is present. If the determination result is “per normal map” (Yes in S126), a game per normal map is executed (S127). The game per base when winning with a high probability is, for example, “Repeat 5 seconds per release 3 times”.

  In addition, when the current general symbol determination is not performed with a high probability (it is performed with a low probability) (No in S125), the low probability determination value and the loaded normal symbol determination determination disorder The common figure is determined by collating with the numerical value (S128). If the determination result is “per normal map” (Yes in S128), a game per normal map is executed (S129). The game per game when winning with a low probability is, for example, “perform opening once for 90 milliseconds”.

  If the loaded random number for determining whether or not the normal symbol matches the determination value (No in S126 or S128), the game is not executed per game and the process (S13) is exited.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a special operation process (S14) is performed after the normal operation process (S13). This process (S14) is shown in FIG. 11, and the special figure 1 operation status representing the operation state according to the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 operation status representing the operation state according to the special figure 2 are determined (S130). ), In the case of a big hit operation (when the special figure 1 operation status or special figure 2 operation status is “4” to “8”, hereinafter referred to as “big hit operation”) (Yes in S130), S131) is executed. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the big hit operation according to the special figure 1 and the big hit action according to the special figure 2 occur simultaneously (the special figure 1 operation status and the special figure 2 operation status are simultaneously "4" to " 8 ”). When the big hit operation is not being performed (No in S130), it is determined whether there is a special figure 2 reserved ball number (whether it is not 0) (S132), and when there is a special figure 2 reserved ball number (in S132). If Yes, the process for each special figure 2 fluctuation action (S133) is executed, and if there is no special figure 2 reservation ball number (No in S132), the process for each special figure 1 fluctuation action (S134) is executed. It should be noted that the special figure 1 operation status when executing the process according to the special figure 1 variable action is any of "0" to "2", and the special figure when executing the process according to the special figure 2 variable action. The operation status in FIG. 2 is any one of “0” to “2”, “9”, and “10”. With this configuration, it is possible to preferentially process the special figure determination in FIG. 2 over the special figure determination in FIG. Then, after executing the process (S133) according to the special figure 2 fluctuation operation or the process (S134) according to the special figure 1 fluctuation action, the process exits the process (S14).

  In the special-figure 1 varying operation process (S134) shown in FIG. 12, the special-figure 1 operation status is determined (S150), and the process branches. When the special figure 1 operation status is “0” (“0” in S150), a special figure 1 standby process (S151) is performed, and when the special figure 1 operation status is “1” (“1” in S150). ), A special figure 1 variation process (S152) is performed. If the special figure 1 operation status is "2" ("2" in S150), a special figure confirmation process (S153) is performed. Hereinafter, each of these processes (S151, S152, S153) will be described in order.

  In the special figure 1 standby process (S151) shown in FIG. 13, if there is a special figure 1 hold, the special figure determination and special special figure 1 special figure 1 is used by using the oldest special figure 1 hold information. Information necessary for the variable display in FIG. 1 is set, and when there is no hold in FIG. 1, a standby screen is set. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not there is a special figure 1 hold (whether or not the special figure 1 hold ball number is not "0") (S200). If there is no suspension in FIG. 1 (No in S200), it is checked whether or not the liquid crystal screen 13G is a standby screen (for example, the standby flag is ON) (S201). If the screen is a standby screen (Yes in S201), the process immediately exits the process (S151). If the screen is not a standby screen (No in S201), a standby screen setting process (S202. For example, a standby flag is set). ON), the process exits (S151).

  When there is a special figure 1 hold (Yes in S200), first, special figure 1 big hit determination processing (S203) is performed. As shown in FIG. 14, in the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S203), first, the random number value for determining whether or not the special symbol is won is loaded (stored in the random number storage area of the RAM) when winning the first start winning opening 14A. (S300). Next, it is checked whether or not the current state is a probable change state (S301). If the current state is not a probable change state (No in S301), whether the special symbol success / failure determination random number value matches the determination value in the non-probable change state or not It is checked whether or not (S302). If the special symbol success / failure random number value does not coincide with any of the determination values, that is, if it is “out” (No in S302), the special figure 1 big hit flag is turned off (set out flag, S303), this process (S203) is exited. If the probability change state (Yes in S301), it is checked whether or not the special symbol success / failure determination random number value is a “hit” that matches any of the determination values in the probability change state (S304). If the special symbol success / failure random number value does not coincide with any of the determination values, that is, if it is “out” (No in S304), the special figure 1 big hit flag is turned off (set out flag, S305), this process (S203) is exited. As described above, the probability of winning the “big hit” from winning the first start winning opening 14A is 1/100 in the probability variation state and 1/400 in the non-probability variation state.

  On the other hand, in each step S302, S304, when the random number value for special symbol success / failure determination coincides with the jackpot determination value set in advance, that is, when “winning” is won (Yes in S302 or Yes in S304), Special figure 1 The big hit flag is turned ON (S306), and it is determined whether or not the type of the “big hit” is “hit with bonus” that allows the game ball to pass through the V winning hole 45B. Is set (S307). Specifically, for example, when the jackpot symbol random number is a predetermined value, it is determined that the bonus game is a bonus game with a bonus, and when it is other than the value, it is determined that it is not a bonus game with a bonus game. In the case of “bonus with bonus”, the second jackpot flag is turned on, and when it is not “hit with bonus” (“bonus without bonus”), the second jackpot flag is turned off. Thereafter, the process exits (S203). In this embodiment, in step S307, it is set so as to be determined as a “hit with bonus” with a probability of 50%.

  In the special figure 1 symbol selection process (S204) (see FIG. 13) performed after step S204 and the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S203), a determination symbol to be stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the special figure 1 symbol selection process (S204), first, it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 is a big hit (whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON) (S320). If it is a big hit (Yes in S320), the big hit symbol random number value acquired (stored in RAM) at the time of winning the first start winning opening 14A is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S321), and this processing (S204) is executed. Exit. That is, the three determination symbols are set so that they all have the same symbol as the jackpot symbol random number value.

  On the other hand, if the special figure 1 is not a big hit (No in S320), the random number value for determining the left symbol, the random value for determining the middle symbol, and the random value for determining the right symbol are loaded from the RAM (S322). Then, it is determined whether or not these three random number values match (S323). If they match (Yes in S323), the reach presence / absence determination random number value obtained when winning the first start winning opening 14A is determined. It is determined whether or not (hereinafter referred to as “reach random value”) matches a preset reach determination value (S324). If the reach determination value does not match (No in S324), the right symbol determining random value is added to the left symbol determining random value, and these three symbol determining random values are output to the RAM output buffer. (S326). That is, the left and middle determination symbols are set to the same symbol, and only the right determination symbol is set to be a combination of “reach without reach”. If the reach determination value matches (Yes in S324), the medium symbol determination random value is set to a value obtained by adding 1 to the left symbol determination random value, and these three symbol determination random values are output to the RAM. The buffer is set (S325). In other words, the left and right determination symbols are set to the same symbol, and the “reach out” combination is set such that only the middle determination symbol is different.

  In step S323, if the left, middle, and right random values do not match (No in S323), it is then determined whether the left and right random numbers match (S327). If the left and right random number values match (Yes in S327), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value matches the reach determination value (S328). If it does not coincide with the reach determination value (No in S328), the process proceeds to step S326 to set so as to be a combination of “no reach”. On the other hand, if the reach random number value matches the reach determination value (Yes in S328), the three symbol determination random number values loaded in Step S322 are set as they are in the output buffer of the RAM (S329). That is, it is set so as to be a combination of “reach off”.

  In step S327, if both the left and right random numbers do not match (No in S327), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value matches the reach determination value (S330). In step S330, the process proceeds to step S329, where the combination of “reach without reach” is set. On the other hand, if it coincides with the reach determination value (Yes in S330), the right symbol determining random value is set to the same value as the left symbol determining random value, and the middle symbol determining random value is set to 1 for the left symbol determining random value. The added value is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S331). That is, it is set so as to be a combination of “out of reach” forcibly. If the stop display symbol of the determination symbol is determined by the above processing, the other processing (S332) is performed and this processing (S204) is exited. The main control circuit may be configured to set the special figure determination result and reach presence / absence, and to set the determination symbol to be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G by the sub control circuit.

  As shown in FIG. 13, after the special figure 1 symbol selection process (S204), the special figure 1 variation mode selection process (S205) is executed. In this process (S205), based on the result of special figure determination, the presence / absence of reach, etc., data related to the variable display mode until the determination symbol is stopped and displayed is selected.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, in the special figure 1 variation mode selection process (S205), first, it is checked whether or not the current state is the time-short state (or the probability variation state) (S340). If it is in the time-short state (Yes in S340), it is then determined whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON (S341), and if it is ON (Yes in S341), the fluctuation mode table for "short-time big hit" One variation mode data is selected based on the variation mode determination random value (S342).

  On the other hand, if the special figure 1 big hit flag is not ON in step S341 (No in S341), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value matches the reach determination value (S343).

  If the reach is established (Yes in S343), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for “time-short reach out” based on the variation mode determination random value (S344). On the other hand, if the reach is not established (No in S343), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for “out of time-short reach out” based on the variation mode determination random value (S345).

  If it is not the time saving state (No in S340), it is then determined whether or not the special figure 1 big hit flag is ON (S346). If it is ON (Yes in S346), the variation mode for "normal big hit" One variation mode data is selected from the table based on the random number value for variation mode determination (S347).

  On the other hand, if the special figure 1 big hit flag is not ON in step S346 (No in S346), it is determined whether or not the reach random number value matches the reach determination value (S348).

  If the reach is established (Yes in S348), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for “out of normal reach” based on the variation mode determination random value (S349). On the other hand, if the reach is not established (No in S348), one variation mode data is selected from the variation mode table for “normal reach-free departure” based on the variation mode determination random value (S350).

  Here, the variation time of “time-short-range hit” set in step S342 is 30 seconds, and the variation times of “time-short reach out” and “time-short reach out” set in steps S344 and S345 are 30 to 360 seconds, step The fluctuation times of “normal big hit”, “normal reach miss”, and “normal reach miss” set in S347, S349, and S350 are set to 15 to 180 seconds.

  Thereafter, a command corresponding to the selected variation mode is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S351), other processing (S352) is performed, and this processing (S205) is exited. At this time, in other processing (S352), processing for setting the variation time in the special figure 1 operation timer is also performed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, following the special figure 1 variation mode selection process (S205), a special figure 1 random number shift process (S206) is performed. In this process (S206), after the information on the hold of the old special figure 1 is processed, the remaining information on the special figure 1 is advanced. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the special figure 1 reserved ball number is subtracted by 1 (S360), and various random numbers stored in the random number storage area corresponding to the special figure 1 hold memory in the RAM are one by one. Shift to the lower random number storage area (S361), and clear the uppermost (fourth) random number storage area (S362).

  As shown in FIG. 13, following the special figure 1 random number shift process (S206), a special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S207) is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation mode selected in the special figure 1 fluctuation mode selection process (S205) is set in the special figure 1 fluctuation start command (S370), and the special figure 1 fluctuation start command is set. Is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S371). Then, as shown in FIG. 13, following the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S207), a special figure 1 operation status is set to "1 (fluctuation)" (S208), and a special figure 1 standby process ( Exit from S151). The above is the description of the special figure 1 standby process (S151).

  Next, the special figure 1 fluctuation process (S152) in the special figure 1 fluctuation operation-specific process (S135) (see FIG. 12) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S152), after the fluctuation display of special figure 1 is finished, the special figure 1 operation status is set to "special figure fixed". Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not special figure 1 is changing (whether or not the special figure 1 operation timer is “0”) (S380), and if it is changing (No in S380). This process (S152) is exited. If the special figure 1 is not changing (Yes in S380), “2 (special figure confirmed)” is set in the special figure 1 operation status (S381), and the process (S152) is exited.

  The special figure confirmation process (S153) in the special figure 1 variable action process (S135) (see FIG. 12) will be described later, and next, the variable action specific process of special figure 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. explain. The process according to the fluctuation operation of the special figure 2 is that the parameters to be referenced and set are related to the special figure 2, and that the big hit determination process and the selection process of the fluctuation mode (S503, S504) are different from the case of the special figure 1. Except for the above, the process is the same as the process according to variable operation of the special figure 1 shown in FIGS.

  In the special-figure 2 variable action-specific process (S133) shown in FIG. 20, the special-figure 2 action status is determined (S160), and the process branches. When the special figure 2 operation status is “0” (“0” in S160), a special figure 2 standby process (S161) is performed, and when the special figure 2 operation status is “1” (“1” in S160). ) Performs a special figure 2 variation process (S162). When the special figure 2 operation status is “2” (“2” in S160), a special figure confirmation process (S163) is performed. Is “9” (“S9” in S160), small hit processing (S164) is performed, and when the special figure 2 operation status is “10” (“10” in S160), small hit processing is performed (S165) is performed. Hereinafter, each of these processes (S161, S162, S163, S164, S165) will be described in order.

  In the special figure 2 standby process (S161) shown in FIG. 21, if there is a special figure 2 hold, the special figure determination and special special figure 2 special figure 2 is used by utilizing the oldest special figure 2 hold information. Information necessary for the variable display of FIG. 2 is set, and when there is no hold in FIG. 2, a standby screen is set. Specifically, it is first determined whether or not there is a special figure 2 hold (whether the special figure 2 hold ball number is not “0”) (S500). If there is no suspension in FIG. 2 (No in S500), it is checked whether or not the liquid crystal screen 13G is a standby screen (for example, the standby flag is ON) (S501). If the screen is a standby screen (Yes in S501), the process immediately exits the process (S161). On the other hand, if the screen is not a standby screen (No in S501), a standby screen setting process (S502. For example, a standby flag is set). ON) and then exit this process (S161).

  If there is a special figure 2 hold (Yes in S500), first, special figure 2 big hit determination processing (S503) is performed. As shown in FIG. 22, in the special figure 2 big hit determination process (S503), first, the special symbol success / failure determination random number value acquired at the time of winning the second start winning opening 14B (stored in the random number storage area of the RAM) is loaded. (S600). Next, it is checked whether or not the current state is a probable change state (S601). If the current state is not a probable change state (No in S601), the special symbol success / failure determination random number value matches the big hit determination value in the non-probable change state. It is checked whether or not (S602). If it is not “big hit”, that is, if it is “out” (No in S602), then it is determined whether or not the special symbol success / failure random number is “small hit” that matches the small hit judgment value. A check is made (S603), and if they match, the small hit flag is turned ON (S604), and the process exits (S503). If the special symbol success / failure random number does not match any of the determination values (No in S603), the special figure 2 big hit flag and the small hit flag are turned off (set out flag, S605). Exit (S503). As described above, the probability of winning the “big hit” from winning the second start winning opening 14B is 1/100 in the probability variation state and 1/400 in the non-probability variation state. In addition, the probability of becoming a “small hit” after winning the second start winning opening 14B is 1/1000 regardless of the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state. Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured such that the small hit is generated only by winning the second start winning opening 14B.

  If the current state is in a probable change state (Yes in S601), it is checked whether the special symbol success / failure random number is a “big hit” that matches any of the determination values in the probable change state (S606). If it is not “big hit”, that is, if it is “out” (No in S606), then it is determined whether or not the special symbol success / failure random number is “small hit” that matches the small hit judgment value. The check is made (S609), and if they match, the small hit flag is turned ON (S610), and the process exits (S503). If the special symbol success / failure random number value does not match any of the determination values (No in S609), the special figure 2 big hit flag and the small hit flag are turned off (set out flag, S611), and this processing is performed. Exit (S503).

  On the other hand, in each step S602, S606, when the random number value for special symbol success / failure determination coincides with the jackpot determination value set in advance, that is, when the “big hit” is won (Yes in S602 or Yes in S606), The special figure 2 big hit flag is turned ON (S606), it is determined whether or not the type of the "big hit" is "big hit with bonus" that allows the game ball to pass through the V winning hole 45B. Is set (S608). Specifically, for example, when the jackpot symbol random number is a predetermined value, it is determined that the bonus game is a bonus game with a bonus, and when it is other than the value, it is determined that it is not a bonus game with a bonus game. In the case of “bonus with bonus”, the second jackpot flag is turned on, and when it is not “hit with bonus” (“bonus without bonus”), the second jackpot flag is turned off. Thereafter, the process exits (S503). In the present embodiment, in step S608, the probability of being determined as “bonus with bonus” is set to 100%. In other words, all of the jackpots generated from winning the second start winning opening 14B are “bonus with bonus”.

  As shown in FIG. 21, following the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S503), the special figure 2 symbol selection process (S504), the special figure 2 variation mode selection process (S505), the special figure 2 random number shift process (S506), Special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S507) is executed in order. Details of these processes are shown in FIG. 23 to FIG. 26, except that the specific judgment value and the variation mode are different, the above-described special diagram 1 symbol selection process (S204), the special diagram 1 variation mode selection. Since it is the same as the process (S205), the special figure 1 random number shift process (S206), and the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S207), the details are omitted. Next, a process for setting the special figure 2 operation status to “1 (variation)” (S508) is performed, and the special figure 2 standby process (S161) is exited. The above is the description of the special figure 2 standby process (S161).

  Next, the special figure 2 fluctuation process (S162) in the special figure 2 fluctuation operation-specific process (S133) (see FIG. 20) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S162), after the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 is finished, the special figure 2 operation status is set to "change confirmation". Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not special figure 2 is changing (whether or not the special figure 2 operation timer is “0”) (S680), and if it is changing (No in S680). , The process exits (S162). When the special figure 2 is not changing (Yes in S680), “2 (change confirmation)” is set in the special figure 2 operation status (S681), and this process (S162) is exited.

  Next, the special figure confirmation process (S153) in the special figure 1 variable action-specific process (S135) (see FIG. 12) and the special figure variable action specific process (S133) (see FIG. 20) (S163). ) Will be described with reference to FIG. The special figure confirmation process (S163) in the special figure 2 variable action process (S133) is the special figure 1 variable action process (S135) except that the parameters to be referred to and set are related to the special figure 2. In the following description, “Special Figure 1” and “Special Figure 2” will be described together as “Special Figure”. In this process (S153, 163), after determining the fluctuation of the special figure, if the result of the special figure determination is a big hit and a small hit, the parameters necessary for the big hit game and the small hit game are set, Send the opening command. Further, when the result of the special figure determination is not good and the jackpot is not small, processing for returning the special figure operation status to “standby” is performed.

  Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the special figure determination time has expired (S900). If it has not expired (No in S900), the process (S153, 163) is exited. When the special figure determination time has expired (Yes in S900), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (whether or not the special figure big hit flag is ON) (S901), and in the case of a big hit (Yes in S901), Each setting for starting the big hit, setting each parameter according to the lottery result, and processing for setting the special figure operation status to “4” (S902), sending the big hit opening command and performing this processing (S153, 163) Exit. On the other hand, if it is not a big hit (No in S901), first, a designated number of times subtraction process (S904) is performed.

  The specified number of times subtraction process (S904) is shown in FIG. 29, and the number of remaining times of the special figure determination executed in the short time state with high accuracy and the short time state with low accuracy, and at the time of special figure fluctuation and small hit fluctuation Subtraction of counters (special figure fluctuation selection counter, small hit fluctuation selection counter) used for determining whether or not to execute special effects is performed. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the high-accuracy counter is “0” (whether there is a remaining number of times of special drawing determination in the high-accuracy time-short state) (S920), and when it is not “0” (No in S920) ), The high-accuracy counter is decremented by 1, and if the high-accuracy counter becomes “0”, the high-accuracy flag is turned OFF (S921). After the determination and setting of the high-accuracy counter (Yes in S920 and after the processing of S921), whether or not the hour-counting counter is “0” (whether there is a remaining number of special figure determinations for the high-accuracy short-time state or the low-accuracy time-short state (S922), if it is not “0” (No in S922), the hour / hour counter is decremented by 1, and if the hour / hour counter becomes “0”, the hour / hour flag is turned off and small. “0” is set in each of the hit variation status and the small hit variation selection counter (S923). By this process, even if the short-time state ends before the four special figure fluctuations after the small hit game is finished, it becomes possible to return to the normal state without digesting the four times after the small hit game ( Example: (I), (J), (M), and (N) in FIG. 47 described later). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the jackpot is “Big Bonus with Bonus” and V is won, “161 (times)” as the initial value for both the high-accuracy counter and the hourly counter is terminated. In the case of “Big Bonus without Bonus” or “Big Bonus with Bonus” but no V-winning is set, “100 (times)” is set as the initial value only in the hourly counter when the jackpot ends. It is configured as follows.

  Next, after determination and setting of the hour / counter counter (Yes in S922 and after the processing of S923), it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation selection counter is “0” (whether or not a predetermined number of special figure fluctuations have ended) (S925). In the case of “0” (Yes in S925), the process exits (S904). The special figure fluctuation selection counter has a counter value corresponding to a special figure fluctuation selection status, which will be described later. The counter value is subtracted for each special figure fluctuation, and when it becomes “0”, the special figure fluctuation selection status is changed to the next status. Is configured to change to When the special figure fluctuation selection counter is not “0” (No in S920), the special figure fluctuation selection counter is decremented by 1 (S926), and it is determined whether or not the special figure fluctuation selection counter is “0” (S927). . When the special figure variation selection counter becomes “0” (Yes in S927), status transition processing (S928) is performed.

  The status transition process (S928) is shown in FIG. 30, and when a special number of special figure fluctuations has been completed for a predetermined number of times, a special figure fluctuation selection status for selecting an effect to be displayed by the fluctuation of the special figure is as follows. Process to move to. First, Table 1 and Table 2 illustrate status transition tables that are referred to when transitioning the special figure variation selection status, and the transition of the special diagram variation selection status when referring to them will be described.

  The “status transition setting table 1” shown in Table 1 is a table in the case of entering the high-precision time-short state at the end of the big hit. As described above, the fluctuation of the special figure in the high-precision time-short state after the big hit ends is performed 161 times. The breakdown is that the first four times are special effects, the next 57 times are the first half effects of the high-precision time-short state, and the next 100 times are the second-stage effects of the high-precision time-short state. It has become. Then, after switching from the high-accuracy short-time state to the normal state, the content of the effect is switched 5 times (normal effect 4), 25 times (normal effect 3), and 110 times (normal effect 2). Production (normal production 1) is performed.

  In this case, the special figure fluctuation selection status and the special figure fluctuation selection counter are set to “4” as the special figure fluctuation selection status with reference to the first data in the table as the first state after the big hit, The special figure fluctuation selection counter is set to “4” (four special figure fluctuations after being promoted to the probability variation state: the number of prescribed judgments). Then, the special figure fluctuation selection counter is subtracted (S926), and when the value of the special figure fluctuation selection counter becomes “0” (Yes in S927), the special data fluctuation selection is made with reference to the second data in the table. “5” is set in the status, and “57” (remaining 156 times to 101 times in the number of time reductions) is set in the special figure variation selection counter. Similarly, every time the value of the special figure fluctuation selection counter becomes “0”, the next data in the table is referred to and the remaining 100 times to 0 times of the time reduction (special figure fluctuation selection status: 6, special figure fluctuation selection) Counter: 100), special effect (normal effect 4) in normal state after normal time (no short time in low accuracy) (normal effect change selection status: 3, special signal change selection counter 5), normal effect Normal production 3 minutes after 4 (Special figure fluctuation selection status: 2, Special figure fluctuation selection counter: 25), Normal production 2 minutes after normal production 3 (Special figure fluctuation selection status: 1, Special figure fluctuation selection) Counter: 110), and normal time production 1 minute after normal time production 2 (special figure fluctuation selection status: 0, special figure fluctuation selection counter: 0) are set. When “0” is set in the special figure fluctuation selection counter, the status transition process (S928) is not performed thereafter, and special figure fluctuation is performed with the special figure fluctuation selection status (“0”) (FIG. 29, FIG. 29). (See step S925). In addition, when the “status transition setting table 1” is used, an address is also set, and the address is changed from “1” to “7” along with the transition to the special figure variation selection status.

  The “status transition setting table 2” shown in Table 2 is a table in the case where the low probability time-short state is entered at the end of the big hit. As described above, the fluctuation of the special figure in the low-accuracy short time state after the big hit ends is performed 100 times, but unlike the case of the high-accuracy short-time state, the 100 fluctuations of the special figure are performed in the same state. Then, after switching from the low-accuracy short-time state to the normal state, the same as after switching from the high-accuracy short-time state to the normal state, 5 times (normal effect 4), 25 times (normal effect 3), 110 times The content of the effect is switched in (normal effect 2), and then the normal effect (normal effect 1) is performed.

  In this case, the special figure fluctuation selection status and special figure fluctuation selection counter are set to “8” in the special figure fluctuation selection status with reference to the first data in the table as the first state after the big hit, Set “100” (100 times of time reduction) to the special figure variation selection counter. When the value of the special figure variation selection counter becomes 0 (when the time reduction is completed), as in the “status transition setting table 1”, a dedicated effect in the normal state after the completion of the time reduction (the state with no low accuracy time) (normal) Production 4) minutes (Special figure fluctuation selection status: 3; special figure fluctuation selection counter 5), normal production 3 minutes after normal production 4 (Special figure fluctuation selection status: 2, special figure fluctuation selection counter: 25) , Normal production 2 minutes after normal production 3 (Special figure fluctuation selection status: 1, Special figure fluctuation selection counter: 110), and Normal production 1 minute after normal production 2 (Special figure fluctuation selection status: 0, special figure variation selection counter: 0) is set. In addition, when the “status transition setting table 2” is used, an address is also set, and the address is changed from “1” to “5” along with the transition to the special figure variation selection status.

  Note that, at the end of the small hit in the low accuracy time, 9 is set for the small hit variation selection status, and 4 (for the predetermined number of determinations) is set in the small hit variation selection counter. When the value of the small hit variation selection counter becomes zero, the small hit variation selection status is set to zero. In addition, when the small hit end at high accuracy time is short, 7 is set for the small hit variation selection status, and 4 (for the predetermined number of determinations) is set for the small hit variation selection counter. When the value of the small hit variation selection counter becomes zero, the small hit variation selection status is set to zero. In addition, in the case of a small hit, an address is not necessary, so that it is not set. Then, the status transition process (S928) is executed using these special figure fluctuation selection status, special figure fluctuation selection counter, small hit fluctuation selection status, and small hit fluctuation selection counter.

  Specifically, in this process (S928), the status value and the fluctuation counter value stored in the status transition setting table address value are loaded (S960), and the loaded values are used as the special figure fluctuation selection status and the special figure fluctuation. Set in each selection counter (S961), that is, for example, if the status transition setting table address value representing the second case of "status transition setting table 1" has been set, set the special figure variation selection status to 5, 57 is set in the special figure variation selection counter. Then, add 2 to the status transition setting table address value (set the address value of the status transition setting table in which the next special figure variation selection status and the special figure determination count are stored) (S692), that is, the next third case. A status transition setting table address value indicating is prepared. Next, it is determined whether or not the small hit variation selection counter is “0” (whether or not the predetermined number of variations have been completed after the small hit) (S963). If it is not “0” (No in S963), this processing ( Step S928) is exited. With this process, if the specified number of determinations after the small hit is not completed, even if the special figure fluctuation status is changed, the process is reduced because it is not transmitted to the sub-control circuit side here. Example: (A) and (E) of FIG. 47 described later). When the small hit variation selection counter is “0” (Yes in S963), the state designation command transmission process (S964) is executed, and the process (S928) is exited.

  The state designation command transmission process (S964) shown in FIG. 31 stores the status stored in the special figure variation selection status in the state designation command and transmits the state designation command. Specifically, first, status load processing (S970) is executed. In the status load process (S970) shown in FIG. 32, first, the special figure variation selection status is acquired as the status data value (S980), and then whether or not the small hit variation selection counter is “0” (small hit) After that, it is determined whether or not the special figure is determined within a predetermined number of times (S981). If the small hit variation selection counter is “0” (Yes in S981), the special figure variation selection status is used as it is as the status data value, and the process (S970) is exited. On the other hand, if the small hit variation selection counter is not “0” (No in S981), the small hit variation selection status is acquired as the status data value (S982), and the process (S970) is exited. By this processing, it is set whether to load the status based on the small hit or the big hit, and the small hit is prioritized.

  Referring back to FIG. 31, following the status load process (S970), the status acquired in the status load process (S970) is set to the RAM data value 2 (detailed status data) (S971), and the status command is “AD "(For time reduction) is set to the data value 1 of the RAM (S972). Next, the peripheral board data output process (S973) is executed to transmit a state designation command, and the state designation command transmission process (S964) is exited. The status of this data value 2 is, for example, “5” for the first half production in the high-precision short-time state, “6” for the second half production in the high-precision short-time state, and “6” for the production in the short-time high accuracy time state “AD05H”, “AD06H” or the like combining 1 and the data value 2 is set in the state designation command as the gaming state status. Then, based on this gaming state status, the contents of special figure variation are selected.

  Returning to FIG. 29, the description will be continued. When the special figure variation counter is not “0” (No in S927) and after the status transition process (S928), it is determined whether the small hit variation selection counter is “0” (S929). If this is the case (Yes in S929), the process exits (S904). If the small hit variation selection counter is not “0” (No in S929), the small hit variation selection counter is decremented by 1 (S930), and it is determined again whether the small hit variation selection counter is “0” (S931). ) If the small hit variation selection counter is not “0” (No in S931), the process exits (S904). When the small hit variation selection counter becomes “0” (Yes in S931), the small hit variation selection status is set to “0” again (S933), and the state designation command transmission process (S933) is performed. , The process exits (S904). This state designation command transmission process (S933) is the same as the state designation command transmission process (S964) executed in the above-described status transition process (S928).

  Returning to FIG. 28, the description will be continued. Next to the designated number subtraction process (S904), it is determined whether or not a small hit is made (S905). Is set to “0 (standby)” (S910), and the process exits (S153, S163). In the case of a small hit, each setting of the small hit start and each parameter according to the lottery result are set, and “3” is set in the special figure 2 operation status (S906), and a small hit opening command is transmitted. (S907). Next, it is determined whether or not the time is short (S908). If the time is short (Yes in S908), the process (S153, S163) is exited. If it is not in the short time state (in the normal gaming state) (No in S908), an on value is set in the small hit information buffer (S909), and the process (S153, S163) is exited.

  Returning to FIG. 20, the description will be continued. Special figure 2 In the small hit process (S164) in the variable action specific process (S133), a special winning opening opening / closing process (open / close counting process, etc.) is performed by the small hit process, and when a predetermined time has elapsed, the special figure 2 operation is performed. Set the status to “4”.

  Next, the small hitting end process (S165) in the special figure 2 varying operation process (S133) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S165), a counter and a small hit variation status are set in the RAM for a predetermined number (four times) of special figure determination after the small hit game is executed, and a state designation command transmission process (S949) is executed. . Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the small hitting ending time has elapsed (S940), and if it has not elapsed (No in S940), the process exits (S165). When the small hitting ending time has elapsed (Yes in S940), first, the address of the small hit end 2 setting table is set as the address value, and "0" is set as the special figure 2 operation status (S941). Next, a data storage process (S942) and a time reduction flag determination process (S943) are performed. Next, it is determined whether or not it is in the short-time state (S944). If the short-time state (Yes in S944), “9” is set in the small hit variation selection status (S945), and the small hit variation selection counter is set to “4”. "Is set (S946). Next, it is determined whether or not it is in a probable change state (S947), and in the case of a probable change state (S947), "7" is set in the small hit variation status (S948). When it is not in the time saving state (No in S944), when it is not in the probability variation state (S947), and after the processing of Step 948, the state designation command transmission processing (S949) is executed, and this processing (S165) is exited. The state designation command transmission process (S949) is the same as the above-described state designation command transmission process (S933, S964).

  Next, the big hit operation process (S131) shown in FIG. 11 will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S131), “Special Figure 1” and “Special Figure 2” are collectively described as “Special Figure”. In this process (S131), first, an upper prize winning mouth process (S170) is executed, then a special figure operation status is determined (S171), and the process branches. When the special figure operation status is “4 (big hit start)” (“4” in S171), the big hit start process (S172) is performed, and the special figure operation status is “5 (open big prize opening)” (S171: “5”), the big prize opening process (S173) is performed. When the special figure operation status is “6 (large prize opening closed 1)” (S171: “6”), the big prize opening The closing 1 process (S174) is performed, and when the special figure operation status is “7 (big prize opening closed 2)” (“7” in S171), the big winning opening closing 2 process (S175) is performed, When the operation status is “8 (big hit end)” (“8” in S171), a big hit end process (S176) and a small hit end process (S165) are performed.

  In the upper-award winning mouth process (S170) shown in FIG. 34, after the game ball has won the second award-winning mouth 31 (denoted as “upper-award winning mouth” in the flowchart), the V-award hole 45B (in the flowchart, “ Judgment is made as to whether or not it has passed the “probability region”. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the second big prize opening 31 can be won (whether the big hit is being performed and the round counter is “13” or “15”) (S710). If it is not possible to win 31 (No in S710), the process exits (S170). When the second big prize opening 31 can be won (Yes in S710), the probability changing area solenoid operation process (S711) for switching between valid / invalid of the detection determination of passing the V winning hole 45B is executed.

  Following the probability changing area solenoid operation processing (S711), it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the V winning hole 45B (whether or not the probability changing area switch is detected) (S712). If it has not passed through the V winning hole 45B (No in S712), the process (S170) is exited. When the game ball passes the V winning hole 45B (Yes in S712), it is determined whether or not the V winning hole 45B detects the passing of the game ball (whether or not the probability variation area valid flag is ON) (S713). ), When the passage of the game ball is not detected (No in S713), the process exits (S170). When the V winning hole 45B detects the passing of the game ball (Yes in S713), the probability variation area passing flag is turned ON (S714), and the process (S170) is exited. That is, the game ball passing through the V winning hole 45B is effective only when the game ball passes through the V winning hole 45B and the V winning hole 45B is in a state of detecting the passing of the game ball.

  Next, the jackpot start process (S172) in the jackpot operation process (S131) (see FIG. 33) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S172), the round setting of the big hit game and the setting of the big winning opening corresponding to the round are performed. Specifically, it is first determined whether or not the opening time has ended (whether or not a predetermined time set in the jackpot opening command has elapsed since the start of the jackpot opening) (S730). If the opening time has not ended (No in S730), the process exits (S172). When the opening time is over (Yes in S730), a round setting process (S731) is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the round setting process (S731), first, it is determined whether or not a round remains (whether or not the effective number of rounds is 1 or more) (S740), and when no round remains (S740). No), this process (S731) is exited. When the round remains (Yes in S740), 1 is added to the number of rounds (S741), 1 is subtracted from the effective number of rounds (S742), and the process (S731) is exited. In the present embodiment, the initial value of the number of rounds is set to “0”, and the initial value of the number of effective rounds is set to “15”.

  As shown in FIG. 35, following the round setting process (S731), a special winning opening operation setting process (S732) is performed. In this process (S732), as shown in FIG. 37, first, a winning prize opening to be opened is set corresponding to the number of rounds (S750). Specifically, when the number of rounds is “1” to “12” and “14”, the lower major prize opening (first major prize opening 15, movable door 15T) is set, and the number of rounds is “13”. Alternatively, in the case of “15”, the upper prize winning opening (second grand prize winning opening 31, opening / closing door 32) is set. Next, a big winning opening round corresponding to the type of jackpot is set (S751). Specifically, the opening / closing mode of the slide lid 46 that restricts winning to the movable door 15T, the opening / closing door 32, and the V winning hole 45B in the round is set. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the slide lid 46 is closed at almost all the timings when the game ball can enter the second big prize opening 31 at the time of the bonus without big bonus, and the game ball is V It is configured not to pass through the winning hole 45B (becomes difficult). In addition, depending on the type of jackpot, the opening pattern (time) of the big prize opening may be different (eg, a pattern that is released several times in a predetermined round or a pattern that is opened only once). The time is managed by the big prize opening operation counter.

  Following the setting of the big prize round (S751), whether or not the big prize opening set in the setting of the big prize round (S751) is the upper prize opening (whether the number of rounds is “13” or “15”) Is determined (S752). If the upper prize winning opening is not set (No in S752), the process exits (S732). When the top prize opening is set in the big prize round setting (S751) (Yes in S752), the probability variation area operation counter value is loaded from the RAM (S753), and the operation time of the slide lid 46 (probability variation). The execution time corresponding to the area operation counter is set in the RAM (S754). The probability variation area operation counter is counted up as time elapses from the start of the round, and its initial value is “0”. Thereafter, this process (S732) is exited.

  Returning to FIG. 35, following the big winning opening operation setting process (S732), the operation status is set to “5 (open big winning opening)” (S733), and the big hit starting process (S172) is exited. The above is the description of the jackpot start process (S172).

  Next, the big winning opening opening process (S173) in the big hit operation process (S131) (see FIG. 33) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S173), the round end determination and the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 32 are set. Specifically, first, a special winning opening switch detection process (S760) is performed. In the big prize opening switch detection process (S760), as shown in FIG. 39, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the big prize opening (S770). In S770, No), this process (S760) is exited. When the game ball has won a big winning opening (Yes in S770), 1 is added to the number of winning a big winning opening (S771), and this process (S760) is exited.

  As shown in FIG. 38, after the big prize opening switch detection process (S760), it is determined whether or not the number of big prize winning prizes has reached a prescribed number (whether or not it is ten or more in the flow) (S761). If the specified number has not been reached (No in S761), it is determined whether the round time has elapsed (S762).

  When the number of winning prizes has not reached the specified number and the round time has not elapsed (No in S761 and No in S762), that is, when the round is continuing, It is determined whether or not it is set (whether or not the number of rounds is “13” or “15”) (S763), and when the second big prize opening 31 is set (Yes in S763), It is determined whether or not the operation time of the second grand prize winning port 31 has elapsed (S764). When the operation time of the second big prize opening 31 has passed (Yes in S764), the upper big prize opening action counter is decremented by 1 (S765), and whether or not the big hit game at the upper big prize opening has ended. (Whether or not the upper prize winning counter operation counter is “0”) is determined (S766). When the big hit game at the top prize winning opening continues (No at S766), the top prize winning opening / closing setting process (S767) is performed. In the upper prize winning opening / closing setting process (S767), as shown in FIG. 40, the upper prize winning action counter is loaded (S780), and the second big prize winning opening corresponding to the upper prize winning action counter and the type of jackpot is obtained. The operation time of 31 is set (S781), and the upper prize winning opening / closing setting process (S767) is exited. The operation of the second big prize opening 31 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is 29.5 (seconds) when the bonus is a bonus, and 0.5 (seconds) when the bonus is a bonus. The closing time is 0.04 (seconds) and 0.5 (seconds).

  As shown in FIG. 38, when the second big prize opening 31 is not set, the operation time of the second big prize opening 31 has not passed, or the upper big prize opening operation counter is “0” ( No in S763, No in S764, or Yes in S766), the special winning opening opening process (S173) is exited. In addition, when the number of winning a prize opening reaches a specified number or when the round time has elapsed (Yes in S761 or Yes in S762), it is assumed that the round has ended, and data used in closing the closing prize opening 1 described later. (For example, 1 hour closing of the big prize opening) is set (S768), "6 (Large winning opening closed 1)" is set as the operation status (S769), and this process (S173) is exited. The above is the description of the special winning opening opening process (S173).

  Next, the special figure 1 big prize opening closing 1 process (S174) in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131) (see FIG. 33) will be described based on FIG. In this process (S174), a predetermined time is waited. More specifically, in this process (S174), first, whether or not the 1 hour closing of the big prize opening has ended (after the 1 hour closing of the big winning opening is set, the predetermined set in the data of the big winning opening closing 1 is set. (S790) is determined. If the one-hour closing of the big prize opening has not ended (No in S790), the process exits (S174). When the 1 hour closing of the big prize opening is over (Yes in S790), data of closing the big prize opening 2 (for example, 2 hours closing of the big prize opening) is set (S791), and the operation status is set to “7 (big prize winning). Mouth closure 2) ”is set (S792), and this process (S174) is exited.

  Next, the special winning opening closing process 2 (S175) in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131) (see FIG. 33) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S175), if there is a remaining round, the next round is set, and if there is no remaining round, the setting necessary for the big hit ending is performed. Specifically, first, whether or not the two hours closing of the special winning opening has ended (whether or not a predetermined time set in the data of the closing of the special winning opening 2 has elapsed since the setting of the two closing hours of the special winning opening) (S800). If the two-hour winning prize closing time has not ended (No in S800), the process exits (S175).

  When the two hours closing of the big prize opening is over (Yes in S800), it is determined whether or not there is a round (whether or not the number of effective rounds is “0”) (S801), and the round remains. In (No in S801), as the setting of the next round, a round setting process (S802) is performed, a big winning opening operation setting process (S803) is performed, and “5 (opening a big winning opening)” is set in the operation status. (S804), the process exits (S175). The round setting process (S802) and the big winning opening operation setting process (S803) are the same as the round setting process (S731) and the big winning opening operation setting process (S732) in the big hit starting process (S172).

  If no rounds remain (Yes in S801), data is set in the jackpot ending command (hereinafter referred to as “hit ED command” as appropriate) (S805), and “8 (End of jackpot)” is set in the operation status. (S806) The big hit ED command is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S807), and this process (S175) is exited. The above is the description of the special winning opening closing 2 process (S175).

  Next, the jackpot end process (S176) in the jackpot operation process (S131) (see FIG. 33) will be described with reference to FIG. In this process (S176), after the big hit ending, the game state after the big hit game is set, and the flags and counters used in the big hit operation are initialized. Specifically, it is first determined whether or not the big hit ending has ended (whether or not a predetermined time set in the big hit ED command has elapsed since the start of the big hit ending) (S810). If the big hit ending has not ended (No in S810), the process exits (S176).

  When the big hit ending has been completed (Yes in S810), the function address table 1 (the table for high accuracy time / short state: “status shift setting table 1”) is set as the status shift setting table after the big hit game (S811). ). Next, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won in the V winning hole 45B (whether or not the probability variation area passing flag is ON) (S812), and if it has not won (No in S812), after the big hit game A function address table 2 (a table for low-accuracy short time state: “status transition setting table 2”) is set as the status transition setting table (S813). In other words, here, a process for once setting a table for high accuracy time and short time and changing to a table for low accuracy time and time is performed if the table does not pass through the probability variation area. After setting the status transition setting table after the big hit game (Yes in S812, after S813), the value of the status status transition setting table is acquired and set in the RAM (S814), and status transition processing (S815) To exit this process (S176). This status transition process (S815) is the same as the status transition process (S928) in the designated number subtraction process (S904, see FIG. 29). Here, a special figure fluctuation selection counter corresponding to the special figure fluctuation selection status is set. The above is the description of the jackpot operation process (S131) in the special operation process (S14).

  Returning to FIG. 7 and continuing the description, the number-of-reserved-balls process (S15) is performed after the special operation process (S14) described above. This processing (S15) is shown in FIG. 45, and the number of special figure 1 reserved balls (the number of holdings of the special symbol 1 for variable display), the number of special figures 2 reserved balls (the number of the special symbol 2 for holding the variable display) , And the number of normal symbols held (the number of times the normal symbol variation display is held) is loaded from the RAM (S825), and the data of the number of held balls is set in the RAM output buffer as a hold command (S826).

  The power-off monitoring process (S16) performed after the reserved ball number process (S15) is shown in FIG. 46, and whether or not a power-off signal is input (in this embodiment, the power-off state continues for 12 ms). Is determined (S830). If the power-off signal is input (Yes in S830), the current data is backed up to the RAM (S831), and the power-off flag is turned on (S832).

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the interrupt process (S5), after the power-off monitoring process (S16), another process (S17) not deeply related to the present invention is executed to exit from the interrupt process (S5). Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the processing of steps S2 to S4 is repeatedly executed until the next interrupt pulse is input, and the interrupt processing (S5) is performed again due to the input of the interrupt pulse (after about 4 msec). Run. Then, as described above, various commands set in the output buffer of the RAM in the previous interrupt process (S5) are output in the command process (S10) of the interrupt process (S5) executed next. This completes the description of the internal processing of the main control circuit.

  FIG. 47 shows a gaming state status transmitted as a state designation command by the main control circuit main program PG1 at each timing of the high probability short time state and the low probability short time state after the big hit game. The horizontal axis of FIG. 47 represents the remaining number of special figure determinations in the time-short state, and the upper stage shows the high-accuracy time-short state (161 times), and the lower stage shows the low-accuracy time-short state (100 times). Here, in the high-precision time-short state, the first four times (the remaining 161 to 157 times) special figure fluctuation, 57 times (the remaining 156 times to 101 times) special figure fluctuation, 100 times (the remaining 100 times to 0 times) ) Special effects are selected from different options, and in the low-accuracy time-short state, effects are selected from common options with 100 variations. Further, in the four special figure fluctuations after the small hit in the high-accuracy short-time state and the low-accuracy short-time state, effects are selected from different options. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect of 100 special figure fluctuations in the low-accuracy short time state is similar to the effect of 100 special figure fluctuations in the high-accuracy short-time state. Then, for each of the special figure variation options, for example, “AD04H” for the first four special figure fluctuations in the high-accuracy short-time state, “AD08H” for the special figure fluctuations in the low-accuracy short-time state, etc. Status (command) is associated. In this embodiment, the high-accuracy short-time state (161 times), the low-accuracy short-time state (100 times), and the four counts after the small hit are separately managed (counted).

  47A to 47N each show four special figure fluctuations after the small hit, and the game state status of the state designation command transmitted at each timing is shown in the upper part. . The values on the left side are used in the game state status (ie, when the special figure changes for the first time after the small hit game is executed) transmitted in the specified number of times subtraction process (S904) and the small hit end process (S165). The value on the right is the gaming state status transmitted in the designated number subtraction process (S904) at the time of the fourth special figure change after the small hit game is executed (that is, the fifth time after the small hit game is executed). (Game state status used when the special figure changes). For example, in (A), the state designation command itself is not transmitted in the designated number subtraction process at the time of small hit change (S904), and “AD07H” is transmitted as the gaming state status in the subsequent small hit end process (S165) (high). In the first four special figure fluctuations in the short time period, “AD04H” is transmitted first, so “AD04H” is not transmitted), and the fourth special figure fluctuation after the small hit game is implemented This indicates that “AD05H” is transmitted as the gaming state status in the designated number subtraction process (S904). In addition, during the four special figure fluctuations, the counting of the high-precision time and short state is proceeding simultaneously, and 57 times (the remaining 156 to 101) from the first four special figure fluctuations (the remaining 161 to 157 times). When switching to a special figure variation of “times”, “AD05H” is transmitted as the gaming state status at the timing of switching if it is not four times after the small hit game is implemented, but it is switched between four times after the small hit game is implemented. (When the special figure variation selection status is changed and the status is straddled), it is configured to transmit after the end of four times without transmitting. Further, by transmitting the current state four times after the small hit game is executed, the sub-control circuit side can recognize the end of the four times and the current state. With this configuration, it becomes possible to suppress duplication of transmission when the state changes. In this configuration, the high-accuracy short-time state (161 times), the low-accuracy short-time state (100 times), and the four counts after the small hit are managed separately (counting), so the four times after the small hit game is executed It is possible to return to the count state of the high-accuracy short-time state (161 times) and the low-accuracy short-time state (100 times) that are proceeding at the same time even after the operation is completed. In (B), “AD05H” is transmitted as the gaming state status in the designated number subtraction process (S904) at the small hit change, and “AD07H” is transmitted as the gaming state status in the subsequent small hit end process (S165). That is, the gaming state status transmitted in the designated number of times subtraction process (S904) is immediately overwritten, and the gaming state status at the time of the first special figure change after the small hit change is “AD07H”. Represents.

  With this configuration, the game state status is set to “AD05H” in the four special figure fluctuations after the high-accuracy time-short state has been reached, and a small hit is made in the high-accuracy time-short state ((A ) To (I), a common value (“AD07H”) is set as a gaming state status, and when a small hit is made in a low-probability time-short state ((K) to (M)), A common value (“AD09H”) is set, and after the fourth special figure change after the small hit game is completed, the game state status (“ (AD05H "," AD06H "," AD08H ") are set ((A) to (G), (K)), and when the short-time state ends with the fourth special figure change after the small hit game is executed And the fourth special figure change after small hit game is over If the short-time state is over before the game is completed, the game state status (“AD03H”) in the normal state is set ((H) to (J), (L ) To (N)) And, when these game state statuses are “AD04H”, “AD07H”, and “AD09H”, a special effect is performed when the special figure determination is a big hit.

  In other words, after being promoted from the non-probability change state (normal state and low-probability short-time state) to the high-probability time-short state, and when a big hit is made by special multiple judgments (four times) after the small hit game is executed It is possible to execute special effects. And even if the game state is switched before the four special figure determinations after the small hit game is completed, it is possible to perform the special effect only when the game state is in the short time state, The notification effect of the special figure determination after the four special figure determinations can be made according to the gaming state. In addition, a high-accuracy counter (corresponding to the “first counting means” of the present invention) that counts the number of special figure determinations that are performed after switching to the probability change state, and special figure determinations that are performed after the small hit game is executed. A small hit variation selection counter (corresponding to the “second counting means” of the present invention) and a time reduction counter (counter of the present invention) Since it is separately provided with "corresponding to the" continuous missed number counting means "), it becomes easy to control the game.

It is also possible to change from a low-accuracy short-time state to a high-accuracy short-time state. Moreover, although the dummy event of the said embodiment was a small hit game, for example, it may be a big hit game that does not change into a probable state after execution.

(2) In the above-described embodiment, the privilege gaming state is a probable variation state, but may be, for example, a time saving state.

(3) In the above embodiment, the special effects are performed when the first and second conditions or the third and fourth conditions are satisfied. For example, the first and second conditions are satisfied. Special effects are sometimes performed with a probability of 90%, and special effects similar to it are performed with a probability of 60% when the third and fourth conditions are satisfied. You may do it.

(4) In the above embodiment, a special effect is executed when a big hit is made after promotion from a non-probability change state (normal state and low probability short-time state) to a high-probability time short state and after a small hit game is performed. The number of times of the figure determination (4 times) is the same, but the number of times may be different, for example, 5 times after being promoted to the high-precision time-short state and 3 times after the small hit game is executed.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, a high-accuracy counter that counts the number of special figure determinations after being promoted from a non-probability change state (normal state and low-probability short-time state) to a high-accuracy short-time state, The small hit variation selection counter that counts the number of special figure judgments and the time counter that counts the number of consecutive deviations in the special figure judgment during the probability variation state are different. The common counter counts the number of special figure judgments after promotion to small game and after the small hit game is implemented. The counter may be common, for example, the common counter may be used to count the number of missed times.
