It is a design. Also, the normal symbol variation game is performed in order to derive the lottery result of the normal lottery. In the normal symbol display device 31, when the normal winning lottery is won, the normal winning symbol that can recognize that the normal winning lottery has been won is displayed in a fixed stop state. On the other hand, when the normal winning lottery is not won, the normal symbol display device 31 displays a stop symbol for the normal symbol that can be recognized that the normal winning lottery has not been won. When the normal winning lottery is won (when the normal winning symbol is confirmed and stopped on the normal symbol display device 31), the electric opening / closing blade 18 is opened, and the game ball is sent to the electric second start winning device 17. The player can easily get the starting condition of the second special symbol variation game.

  Further, on the left side of the effect display device 11, a gate 32 as a ball entry device is provided. Further, a gate switch SW6 (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting a game ball that has entered (passed through) is disposed behind the gate 32. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the start condition of the normal symbol variation game can be given by detecting the entrance of the game ball into the gate 32 by the gate switch SW6.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game state changes (improves) from a normal low probability lottery state to a high probability lottery state with a higher probability than normal, and a probability variation state in which a big hit lottery is performed. (Hereinafter referred to as “probability change state”). When it is not in the probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as “non-probability variation state”), it is more difficult to win the big hit lottery than in the probability variation state. In other words, when the probability variation state, the winning probability of the big hit lottery is high, so that the big hit game is likely to occur. Therefore, it can be said that the player is in an advantageous state for the player when the probability variation state. Note that the probability variation state in the present embodiment continues until the big hit game is generated.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the gaming state may be in a variation time shortening state (hereinafter referred to as “shortening state”) that is advantageous to the player. When in the variable state, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shortened as compared to when not in the variable state (hereinafter referred to as “non-variable state”). In the variable state, the winning probability of the normal lottery varies (improves) from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability as compared to the non-variable state. Further, when the variable speed state is set, the opening time of the electric opening / closing blade 18 becomes longer than when the variable speed change state is set. For this reason, the open time of the electric opening / closing blade 18 per unit time is longer in the variable state than in the non-variable state. As a result, the probability that the game ball enters the electric second start winning device 17 is higher than that in the non-variable state when in the variable state. As described above, when the speed change state is set, it can be said that the entrance rate of the game ball to the electric second start winning device 17 is high because the entrance rate is high. On the other hand, when it is in the non-variable state, it can be said that it is a non-entrance rate improved state (not an increased entrance rate state) because the entrance rate of the game balls to the electric second start winning device 17 is low. It should be noted that the variable state in the present embodiment is the period from when the variable state is reached until the execution of the special symbol variation game for a predetermined number of variable times (in this embodiment, 50 times) is completed, or Continue until jackpot game is born.

  If the time and the number of times that the electric second start winning device 17 is opened per unit time can be increased more than usual, the rate of entering the game balls into the electric second start winning device 17 can be improved. Can be made. For this purpose, if the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game is made shorter than usual, the number of normal symbol variation games executed per unit time increases, so the electric second start prize per unit time. It is possible to increase the number of times the device 17 is opened. In addition, if the winning probability of the normal lottery is higher than usual, it is possible to increase the number of times that the electric second start winning device 17 is opened per unit time. Further, if the time for the electric second start winning device 17 to be in the open state during the normal game is made longer than usual, the time for the electric second start winning device 17 to be in the open state per unit time is lengthened. It becomes possible to do. That is, “to shorten the fluctuation time of the normal symbol variation game”, “to increase the probability of winning the normal lottery” and “to the second start winning device 17 for electric motor in the normal winning game open state If at least one element of “prolonging the time” is provided, it is possible to improve the rate of entry of the game balls into the electric second start winning device 17. The variable state in the present embodiment may include at least one element even if it does not include all of the above elements.

Next, based on FIG. 4 (a), (b), the type of jackpot and the jackpot prescribed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbols are displayed on the special symbol display devices 12 and 13 in a definite stop display. When the big hit game is started, a predetermined effect is performed on the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, and the speaker Sp until the time set as the opening time elapses. Further, after the time set as the opening time has elapsed, the round game in which the upper prize winning opening 20 or the lower prize winning opening 22 is opened is limited to a predetermined number of rounds (in this embodiment, 16 rounds, 8 rounds). Round or 4 rounds). During one round game, the grand prize winning holes 20 and 22 are displayed until the upper limit number (9 in this embodiment) of game balls enters or in the round game time (25 in this embodiment). Until the second or second) elapses. Further, during the round game, a predetermined effect is performed by the effect display device 11, the decoration lamp La, and the speaker Sp. And after completion | finish of the round game of predetermined number of predetermined rounds, until the time set as ending time passes, a predetermined | prescribed effect is performed with the effect display apparatus 11, the decoration lamp La, and the speaker Sp.

  The small hit game is started after the small hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12. When the small hit game is started, a predetermined effect is performed on the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, and the speaker Sp until the time set as the opening time elapses. Further, after the elapse of the time set as the opening time, the lower prize winning opening 22 is opened one or more times up to a predetermined number of times (four times in the present embodiment). While the lower prize winning opening 22 is opened and closed, a predetermined effect is performed by the effect display device 11, the decoration lamp La, and the speaker Sp. When one or more opening of the lower prize winning opening 22 is completed, a predetermined effect is performed on the effect display device 11, the decoration lamp La, and the speaker Sp until the time set as the ending time elapses. Is called.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from among five types of big hits. Then, the opening and closing of the big winning openings 20 and 22 is controlled in an opening / closing manner associated with the determined type of big hit, thereby generating (giving) a big hit game. At the same time, after the jackpot game is over, the gaming state is associated with the determined jackpot type. Which of the five types of jackpots is determined is determined in accordance with the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won.

  Also, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when winning the small hitting lottery, the big winning openings 20 and 22 (in this embodiment, the lower large size) are opened and closed in association with the small hitting symbol (special symbol Za4). The small hit game is generated (given) by controlling the opening and closing of the winning opening 22 only. At the same time, after the end of the small hit game, the game state cannot be changed by the occurrence of the small hit game (in FIG. 4 (a), it is indicated as “maintaining current state”). In this way, the big hit game becomes a hit game whose game state can be changed when it is given, and the small hit game becomes a hit game whose game state cannot change when given.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 is the special symbol Za1, the special symbol Za2, or the special symbol Za3. Note that the small winning symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is the special symbol Za4. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special symbol display device 13 is the special symbol Zb1 or the special symbol Zb2.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the jackpot game that is generated when the special symbol Za1 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is set to “8 times” as the specified number of rounds. It is a big hit game that will be in a probable state after the end. The jackpot game that occurs when the special symbol Za1 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is a jackpot game that becomes a variable state after the big hit game ends, and the variable state is the next This is a big hit game that continues until the big hit game is generated (in FIGS. 4A and 4B, “until next time”). Hereinafter, the big hit game that occurs when the special symbol Za1 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is referred to as “8R probability variation big hit”.

  The big hit game that occurs when the special symbol Za2 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is set to “8 times” as the prescribed number of rounds, and after the big hit game ends, the game is in an uncertain change state. It is a big hit game. The jackpot game that is generated when the special symbol Za2 is confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 is a jackpot game that is in a variable state after the big hit game is finished. This is a big hit game that continues until the execution of the special symbol variation game is completed (or the big hit game is generated before the execution of the 50 special symbol variation games is completed). Hereinafter, the jackpot game that is generated when the special symbol Za2 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is referred to as “8R non-probable big hit”.

  Predetermined times are set as the opening time and the ending time in the 8R probability variation big hit and the 8R non-variable big hit. Further, in all round games (shown as “1R to 8R” in FIG. 4A) in the 8R probability variable big hit and 8R non-probable big hit, the upper big prize opening 20 is opened, and the upper big prize opening in each round game. The opening time (round game time) of 20 is set to “25 seconds”. In the 8R probability variation big hit and 8R non-probable big hit, “2 seconds” is defined as the interval between rounds. Note that the interval between rounds refers to the time from the end of a round game until the start of setting of the next round game or ending time.

  The big hit game that occurs when the special symbol Za3 is confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 is set to “4 times” as the prescribed number of rounds, and the big hit that becomes probabilistic after the big hit game ends It is a game. In addition, the big hit game that occurs when the special symbol Za3 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is the end of the big hit game if the gaming state when the big hit game is generated is the non-variable state. This is a big hit game that will be in a non-changeable state after that, and if the game state when the big hit game is generated is in the changed state, it is a big hit game in which the changed state after the big hit game ends. When the special symbol Za3 is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 with a fixed stop display, when the big hit game that has occurred is changed to a variable state, the short state causes the next big hit game to occur. Continue until. Hereinafter, the big hit game that is generated when the special symbol Za3 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is referred to as “shortened probability variation big hit”.

  Predetermined times are set as the opening time and the ending time in the shortened probability variation big hit. Further, in all round games (shown as “1R to 4R” in FIG. 4A) in the shortened probability variation jackpot, the lower major winning opening 22 is opened, and the lower major winning opening 22 opening time in each round game ( Round game time) is set to “1 second”. Further, in the shortened probability variation big hit, “2 seconds” is defined as the interval between rounds.

  Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of game balls fired per minute is set to about 100. For this reason, the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 seconds”. That is, even if the grand prize winning holes 20 and 22 are opened for “one second”, the upper limit number of balls (9 in this embodiment) for the number of game balls entered into the big winning prize openings 20 and 22 during the opening. It is very difficult to make a ball. That is, even if the grand prize winning holes 20 and 22 are opened for “one second”, it is difficult to allow the game balls to enter the big winning prize openings 20 and 22 during the opening. By the way, the time when it is possible to enter nine game balls, which is the upper limit of the number of balls entered, is based on the assumption that all of the launched game balls enter the big winning openings 20,22. However, since the time required to fire one game ball is “0.6 seconds”, it can be assumed that “5.4 seconds (= 0.6 × 9)” at the minimum. For this reason, when the big winning openings 20 and 22 are opened for “25 seconds”, it is easy to enter the upper limit number of game balls into the big winning openings 20 and 22 during the opening. . That is, when the big winning openings 20 and 22 are opened for “25 seconds”, it becomes easy to enter the game balls into the big winning openings 20 and 22 during the opening.

  Accordingly, “1 second”, which is the time during which the lower large winning opening 22 can be opened in the shortened probability variation big hit, can be said to be less than the time (predetermined time) during which the maximum number of game balls can be entered. . On the other hand, “25 seconds”, which is the time during which the upper prize winning hole 20 can be opened in the 8R probability variation big hit or 8R non-probable big hit, is the time during which the maximum number of game balls can be entered (specified time). This is the time.

  In addition, the small hit game that occurs when the special symbol Za4 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is a small hit game in which “4 times” is defined as the number of times the lower big prize opening 22 is opened. is there. Hereinafter, the small hit game that occurs when the special symbol Za4 is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12 is simply referred to as “small hit”.

  In the small hit, a predetermined time is set as the opening time and the ending time. In the present embodiment, the opening time and the ending time set for the small hit are set to the same time as the opening time and the ending time set for the shortened probability variation big hit, respectively. In addition, in the small hit, the opening time of the lower prize winning opening 22 per time is set to “1 second”. For this reason, it can be said that the time during which the lower large winning opening 22 can be opened in a small hit is less than the time (prescribed time) during which the maximum number of game balls can be entered. In addition, in the small hit, “2 seconds” is defined as an interval between opening after the completion of each opening of the lower large winning opening 22.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4B, the big hit game that occurs when the special symbol Zb1 is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 is set to “16 times” as the prescribed number of rounds. It is a big hit game in which the probability change state is reached after the big hit game ends. The jackpot game that is generated when the special symbol Zb1 is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 is a jackpot game that is in a variable state after the big hit game is finished. This is a big hit game that continues until the big hit game is started. Hereinafter, the jackpot game that occurs when the special symbol Zb1 is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 is referred to as “16R probability variation big hit”.

  The big hit game that is generated when the special symbol Zb2 is displayed on the second special symbol display device 13 in a fixed stop state is set to “16 times” as the prescribed number of rounds, and is in an uncertain change state after the big hit game ends. It is a big hit game. The jackpot game that occurs when the special symbol Zb2 is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 is a jackpot game that is in a variable state after the big hit game ends. This is a jackpot game that continues until the execution of the special symbol variation game is completed (or until a jackpot game is created). Hereinafter, the jackpot game that occurs when the special symbol Zb2 is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13 will be referred to as “16R non-probable variable jackpot”.

  Predetermined times are set as the opening time and the ending time in the 16R probability variation big hit and the 16R non-variable big hit. Further, in all round games (shown as “1R to 16R” in FIG. 4B) in the 16R probability variable big hit and the 8R non-probable big hit, the upper big prize opening 20 is opened, and the upper big prize opening in each round game. The opening time (round game time) of 20 is set to “25 seconds”. For this reason, “25 seconds”, which is the time during which the top winning hole 20 can be opened in the 16R probability variation big hit or 16R non-probable big hit, is the time during which the upper limit number of game balls can be entered (specified time) ) That's the time. In the 16R probability variation big hit and the 16R non-probability big hit, “2 seconds” is defined as the interval between rounds.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when winning a big hit lottery (a big win lottery triggered by a game ball entering the first start winning device 15) related to the first special symbol variation game, An 8R probability variation jackpot, an 8R non-probability variation jackpot or a shortened probability variation jackpot is generated (given). On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the big hit lottery (the second start winning device for electric motor 17 or the second start winning device for electric motor 27 is triggered as a result of entering the game ball in the second special symbol variation game). In the case of winning the big hit lottery), a 16R probable big hit or a 16R non-probable big hit is generated (given).

  In the present embodiment, the 8R probability variable big hit, 8R non-probable big hit, shortened probability variable big hit, and small hit that can be generated when the first special symbol variable game as a variable game is a big hit correspond to the hit game. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the 16R probability variable big hit and the 16R non-probable big hit that can occur when the second special symbol variation game as the special variation game is a big hit correspond to the advantageous state. Of 8R probability variation big hit, 8R non-probability big hit, shortened probability variation big hit, and small hit, 8R positive variation big hit and 8R non-probable big hit in which the opening time of the big winning openings 20 and 22 is set to be longer than the specified time are the first. Corresponding to the seed hit game, the shortened probability variable big hit and the small hit in which the opening time of the special winning openings 20, 22 is set to be less than the prescribed time correspond to the second type hit game.

  In addition, the number of times that the upper winning opening 20 can be opened for a time longer than the time that allows the maximum number of game balls to enter in the 8R probability variation big hit and the 8R non-variable big hit is “8 times”. It has become. In addition, the number of times that the lower major winning opening 22 can be opened for a time longer than the time during which the upper limit number of game balls can be entered in the shortened probability variation big hit is “0”. On the other hand, the number of times that the top winning opening 20 can be opened for a time longer than the time allowed to enter the upper limit number of game balls in the 16R probability variation big hit and the 16R non-variable big hit is “16 times”. It has become.

  In other words, when the big win lottery related to the first special symbol variation game is won, the number of times that the big winning openings 20, 22 are opened for the time during which the maximum number of game balls can be entered is as follows: “8 times” or “0 times”. On the other hand, when the big hit lottery related to the second special symbol variation game is won, the number of times that the big winning openings 20 and 22 are opened for a time during which it is possible to enter the upper limit number of game balls, “16 times”. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when winning the jackpot lottery related to the second special symbol variation game, it is advantageous for the player than when winning the jackpot lottery related to the first special symbol variation game. It has become.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the number of game balls entering the non-electric second start winning device 27 is larger than expected, an error effect is executed. This error effect is executed by the decorative lamp La.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the non-electric second start winning device 27 is in the open state, a specified number of game balls enter the non-electric second start winning device 27 to enter the closed state. Become. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the non-electric second start winning device 27 is not opened until the game ball enters the lower major winning opening 22 after the opportunity to open is reached. When the number of game balls exceeding the specified number (more than expected) enters the electric second start winning device 27, an error effect is executed. By executing this error effect, it is notified that there is a possibility that the game ball may be illegally entered into the non-electric second start winning device 27. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number (error number) that triggers the execution of an error effect by entering a game ball into the non-electric second start winning device 27 is set to “5”. .

  Further, the first special symbol display device 12, the second special symbol display device 13, the first special symbol hold display device 29, the second special symbol hold display device 30 and the normal symbol display device 31 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Has been. The main control CPU 40a is connected to an electric accessory solenoid SOL1, an upper prize winning solenoid SOL2, and a lower prize winning solenoid SOL3. Further, a payout device 45 is connected to the main control CPU 40a.

  The random number generator 40d generates a hardware random number that is updated by one for each cycle of the internal clock. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the internal clock is set to 10 MHz, so that the value of the hardware random number is updated by 1 every 0.1 μsec. Also, the numerical values that can be taken by the hardware random numbers are 65536 integers in total from 0 to 65535. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the hardware random numbers are used as a hit determination random number and a normal hit determination random number. The winning determination random number is a random number used for the big hit lottery (big hit determination) and the small hit lottery (small hit determination). The normal hit determination random number is a random number used for the normal hit lottery (normal hit determination).

  Further, the main control RAM 40c is updated with a random number update process performed by the main control CPU 40a every predetermined period (a time longer than the time when the hardware random number value is updated (eg, 4 milliseconds)). Software random numbers to be stored are stored. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the first control random number, the second software random number, and the third software random number are stored in the main control RAM 40c, and each software random number has a range of numerical values that can be taken. Is different. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the first software random number is a special symbol distribution random number, the second software random number is a reach determination random number, and the third software random number is a variation pattern distribution random number. used. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining the type of special symbol (type of jackpot) to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 or the second special symbol display device 13 to be confirmed and stopped. The reach determination random number is a random number used for reach determination (reach lottery) for determining whether or not to perform reach production. Moreover, the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution is a random number used when determining the fluctuation pattern.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern can specify the variation time from the start of the special symbol variation game to the end of the special symbol variation game. In addition, the variation pattern in the present embodiment can specify the contents of effects produced by the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, and the speaker Sp. Further, the variation patterns include a variation pattern for a winning effect determined at the time of a big hit or a small hit and a variation pattern for a loss effect determined at the time of a loss. In addition, the variation pattern for the winning effect is determined by winning the jackpot lottery and the variation pattern for the jackpot effect determined when the type of the big hit other than the specified jackpot is determined, and the winning pattern for the jackpot lottery There is a variation pattern for a small hit system effect determined when the big hit is determined as the type of big hit or when the lottery lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the specific big hit is a shortened probability variation big hit. That is, other than the specific big hits are the 8R probability variable big hit, the 8R non-variable big hit, the 16R positive variable big hit and the 16R non-probable big hit. In addition, the variation pattern for the offending effect includes a variation pattern for the outlier reach effect including the effect content of the reach effect, and a variation pattern for the outlier normal effect not including the reach effect in the effect content.

  In addition, various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 40b. For example, the big hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 40b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the big hit lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by a random number for hardware determination (hardware random number). It should be noted that the number of jackpot determination values when in the probability variation state is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when in the non-probability variation state. At the same time, a value as the big hit determination value is determined so that the big hit determination value in the probability variation state includes the big hit determination value in the non-probability variation state. The main control ROM 40b stores a small hit determination value. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery, and is determined from numerical values that the random number for hardware determination (hardware random number) can take. Note that the small hit determination value is determined by a numerical value other than the numerical value determined for the big hit determination value.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the normal hit lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the normal hit determination random number (hardware random number). It should be noted that the number of normal hit determination values in the variable speed state is larger than the number of normal hit determination values in the non-change state. At the same time, a value as the normal hit determination value is determined so that the normal hit determination value in the variable speed state includes the normal hit determination value in the non-changed state. In addition, the reach determination value is stored in the main control ROM 40b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in the reach lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the reach determination random number (second software random number).

  The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control RAM 40c stores a probability variation flag in which a value indicating whether or not the probability variation state is set. The main control RAM 40c stores an operation flag in which a value indicating whether or not the variable state is set. Further, the main control RAM 40c stores an operation limiter in which the number of special symbol variation games until the change from the variable state to the non-variable state is set. By the way, when the variable state continues until the next big hit game occurs (until the next time), a value indicating that the variable state continues until the next big hit game is generated is set in the operation limiter. The

Next, the effect control board 41 will be described with reference to FIG.
On the effect control board 41, an effect control CPU 41a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 41b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 41a, and an effect control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 41c is provided. The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 41a. In addition, a decoration lamp La is connected to the effect control CPU 41a. Further, a speaker Sp is connected to the effect control CPU 41a.

In addition, in the effect control RAM 41c, software random numbers whose values are updated by a random number update process performed by the effect control CPU 41a every predetermined period (a time longer than the time when the value of the hardware random number is updated) are stored. Has been. Then, the effect control CPU 41a uses a software random number whose value is updated in the effect control RAM 41c to determine (select) various effect contents (for example, types such as a notice effect).

  Next, a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, a normal symbol input process, a normal symbol start process, a non-designated process executed by the main control CPU 40a of the main control board 40 in accordance with a control program stored in the main control ROM 40b. Various processes such as an electric prize opening error process will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a executes various processes such as a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, a normal symbol input process, a normal symbol start process, and a non-electrical prize opening error process every predetermined control cycle.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
In the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a performs a first entry determination as to whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning device 15. In the first entry determination, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start port switch SW1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the first entry determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to a process related to the second entry determination described later. On the other hand, when the determination result of the first entry determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the first reservation storage number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number of four. Perform upper limit judgment. If the determination result of the first hold upper limit determination is negative (first hold stored number = 4), the main control CPU 40a proceeds to a process related to the second entry determination described later.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first hold upper limit determination is affirmative (first hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the first hold memory number and rewrites the first hold memory number. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting mode of the first hold light emitting unit forming the first special symbol hold display device 29 so as to represent the first hold stored number after 1 addition. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a acquires various random number values from the main control RAM 40c and the random number generator 40d and stores them in a predetermined storage area (storage area corresponding to the first reserved storage number) of the main control RAM 40c. To do. At this time, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the hit determination random number from the random number generator 40d, and acquires the special symbol distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 40c. To do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to a process related to the second entry determination.

  When performing the process related to the second winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs the second input as to whether or not the game ball has entered the electric second start winning device 17 or the non-electric second start winning device 27. Perform ball judgment. In the second entry determination, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the detection signal output when the electric second start port switch SW2 or the non-electric second start port switch SW5 detects the game ball is input. To do. When the determination result of the second entry determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second entry determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the second reservation storage number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number of four. Perform upper limit judgment. When the determination result of the second hold upper limit determination is negative (second hold memory number = 4), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the second hold upper limit determination is affirmative (second hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the second hold memory number and rewrites the second hold memory number. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting state of the second reserved light emitting unit forming the second special symbol hold display device 30 so as to represent the second reserved memory number after the addition of 1. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a acquires various random number values from the main control RAM 40c and the random number generator 40d and stores them in a predetermined storage area (a storage area corresponding to the second reserved storage number) of the main control RAM 40c. To do. At this time, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the hit determination random number from the random number generator 40d, and acquires the special symbol distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 40c. To do. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
In the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the special symbol variation game or the big hit game or the small hit game is being executed. When the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative, that is, when the special symbol variation game or the big hit game or the small hit game is being played, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the in-execution determination is negative, that is, when the game is not in the special symbol variation game and is not in the big hit game or the small hit game, the main control CPU 40a reads the second reserved memory number, A second hold presence / absence determination is made as to whether or not the hold storage number is greater than “0 (zero)”. When the determination result of the second hold presence / absence determination is affirmative (second hold memory number> 0), the main control CPU 40a performs a second special symbol variation process related to the execution of the second special symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second holding presence / absence determination is negative (second holding memory number = 0), the main control CPU 40a reads the first holding memory number, and the first holding memory number is “0 (zero)”. The first hold presence / absence determination is made as to whether or not it is greater than “”. When the determination result of the first hold presence / absence determination is affirmative (first hold stored number> 0), the main control CPU 40a performs a first special symbol variation process related to the execution of the first special symbol variation game. On the other hand, if the determination result of the first hold presence / absence determination is negative (first hold stored number = 0), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

Here, the first special symbol variation process will be described.
When performing the first special symbol variation process (second reserved memory number = 0, first reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 40a decrements the first reserved memory number by one. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting mode of the first hold light emitting unit forming the first special symbol hold display device 29 so as to represent the first hold stored number after subtraction. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a reads the values of various random numbers (random determination random numbers, special symbol distribution random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and variation pattern distribution random numbers) stored in a predetermined storage area. The random number reading process is performed. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery) as to whether or not the big hit. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the value of the hit determination random number read in the first random number reading process matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state when in the probability variation state, and performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the non-probability variation state in the non-probability variation state. The jackpot lottery in the first special symbol variation process corresponds to a jackpot lottery (a jackpot lottery related to the first special symbol variation game) when the first special symbol variation game is executed.

  When the big win lottery in the first special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a makes the first special symbol display device 12 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number read in the first random number reading process. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol from the special symbol Za1 to the special symbol Za3 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. By determining the jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot is determined. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that determines the type of winning game functions as a hitting type determining means.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for hit effects based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number read in the first random number reading process. At this time, when the special symbol Za1 or the special symbol Za2 is determined as the big hit symbol, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the big hit system effect. On the other hand, when the special symbol Za3 is determined as the big hit symbol, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the small hit system effect.

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery in the first special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs a small hit determination (small hit lottery) as to whether or not a small hit. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the value of the hit determination random number read in the first random number reading process matches the small hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery related to the first special symbol variation game correspond to the win lottery. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a that performs the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery related to the first special symbol variation game functions as a winning lottery means.

  When the small bonus lottery in the first special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a uses the small bonus symbol (in the present embodiment, the special symbol Za4) as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12. ). Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for small hitting system effects based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the first random number reading process.

  On the other hand, when the small winning lottery in the first special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs reach determination (reach lottery) as to whether or not to perform a reach effect. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the reach determination random number value read in the first random number read process matches the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. Then, when the reach lottery in the first special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the off symbol as the special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 to be confirmed and stopped. After that, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for outlier reach effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the first random number reading process.

  On the other hand, when the reach lottery in the first special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines a special symbol to be displayed as a special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12 to be stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the off-normal effects based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the first random number reading process.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the first special symbol variation process, the main control CPU 40a performs various processes such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control CPU 41a. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a firstly outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern and instructing the start of the decorative symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 12 so that the special symbols are variably displayed and the first special symbol variation game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a starts measuring the variation time of the first special symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a outputs to the effect control CPU 41a a special symbol designation command for designating a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the first special symbol variation process and the special symbol start process.

  Further, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a causes the special symbol determined as the special symbol to be confirmed and stopped when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed to be confirmed and stopped. Thus, the display content of the first special symbol display device 12 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs an end command for ending the decorative symbol variation game when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

Next, the second special symbol variation process will be described.
When performing the second special symbol variation process (second reserved memory number> 0), the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the second reserved memory number. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the lighting state of the second reserved light emitting unit forming the second special symbol hold display device 30 so as to represent the second reserved memory number after the subtraction. After that, the main control CPU 40a reads the values of various random numbers (random determination random numbers, special symbol distribution random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and variation pattern distribution random numbers) stored in a predetermined storage area. The random number reading process is performed. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery) as to whether or not the big hit. At this time, as in the first special symbol variation process, the main control CPU 40a matches the hit determination random number read in the second random number read process with the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. It is determined whether or not. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state when in the probability variation state, and performs a big hit lottery using the jackpot determination value in the non-probability variation state in the non-probability variation state. The jackpot lottery in the second special symbol variation process corresponds to a jackpot lottery (a jackpot lottery related to the second special symbol variation game) when the second special symbol variation game is executed. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the big hit lottery related to the second special symbol variation game corresponds to the special win lottery. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a that performs the big hit lottery related to the second special symbol variation game functions as a special win lottery means.

  Then, when the big win lottery in the second special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a gives the second special symbol display device 13 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number read in the second random number reading process. The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol from the special symbol Zb1 and the special symbol Zb2 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. By determining the jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot is determined. After that, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the big hit system effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the second random number reading process.

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery in the second special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs reach determination (reach lottery) as to whether or not to perform a reach effect. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the reach determination random number value read in the second random number reading process matches the reach determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. Then, when the reach lottery in the second special symbol variation process is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 13. After that, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the outlier reach effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the second random number reading process.

  On the other hand, when the reach lottery in the second special symbol variation process is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines a symbol that is not the special symbol to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 13 to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines a variation pattern from among a plurality of types of variation patterns for the off-normal effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number value read in the second random number reading process.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the second special symbol variation process, the main control CPU 40a performs various processes such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control CPU 41a. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a firstly outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern and instructing the start of the decorative symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a controls the display content of the second special symbol display device 13 so that the special symbols are variably displayed and the second special symbol variation game is started. Further, the main control CPU 40a starts measuring the variation time of the second special symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a outputs to the effect control CPU 41a a special symbol designation command for designating a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the second special symbol variation process and the special symbol start process.

  Further, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a causes the special symbol determined as the special symbol to be confirmed and stopped when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed to be confirmed and stopped. Thus, the display content of the second special symbol display device 13 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs an end command for ending the decorative symbol variation game when the variation time set in the designated variation pattern has elapsed.

  Next, a winning game process performed by the main control CPU 40a after the end of the special symbol variation game to be won will be described when the big win lottery is won or the small win lottery is won.

  In the winning game process performed when the big win lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a first outputs an opening command for instructing execution of the opening effect to the effect control CPU 41a, and measures the opening time. Next, the main control CPU 40a controls each round game after the opening time has elapsed. At this time, the main control CPU 40a controls the opening and closing of the big prize opening 20.22 in an opening / closing manner based on the determined type of jackpot. When the final round game is finished, the main control CPU 40a outputs an ending command instructing execution of the ending effect to the effect control CPU 41a and measures the ending time. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  Further, in the winning game process performed when the small winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a first outputs a small hitting opening command instructing execution of the opening effect to the effect control CPU 41a, and measures the opening time. Next, the main control CPU 40a controls the opening and closing of the lower prize winning port 22 in an opening / closing manner based on the determined type of small hits after the opening time has elapsed. At this time, a small hit release command indicating that the lower big prize opening 22 has been opened in the small hit game is output to the effect control CPU 41a. When the main control CPU 40a completes the control of opening and closing the lower prize winning port 22 in the opening / closing mode of the small hit game, the main control CPU 40a outputs a small hit ending command for instructing execution of the ending effect to the effect control CPU 41a. At the same time, the ending time is measured. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the small hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the upper prize opening 20, the game ball rolls on the rolling path 23 as an operation trigger means in which the movable lever 24 is disposed. do not do. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the lower large prize opening 22, the game ball rolls on the rolling path 23. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the control for opening the lower large prize opening 22 corresponds to the control for allowing the game ball to enter the operation trigger means. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the control for opening the upper prize winning opening 20 corresponds to the control for not allowing the game ball to enter the operation trigger means. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs control for opening and closing the upper large prize opening 20 and control for opening and closing the lower large prize opening 22 functions as an allowable control means. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that generates (provides) 8R probability variable big hit, 8R non-probable big hit, shortened probability variable big hit, and small hit, which are hit games, gives the hit game in this embodiment. Functions as a means. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that generates the 16R probability variation big hit and the 16R non-probability big hit that become the advantageous state functions as the advantageous state occurrence means in the present embodiment.

Next, an information setting process performed by the main control CPU 40a for setting various game states such as a probability change state and a variable state will be described.
In the information setting process, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the probability variation state in the probability variation flag after completion of the 8R probability variation big hit, the shortened probability variation big hit or the 16R probability variation big hit. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the non-probability change state in the probability change flag after the end of the 8R non-probability big hit or the 16R non-probability big hit.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating that the operating flag is in a shortened state after the end of the 8R probability variation big hit, 8R non-probable variation big hit, 16R certain variation big hit or 16R non-probable big hit. At this time, if the 8R probability change big hit or the 16R probability change big hit is over, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating that the variable state continues until the next big hit game is generated in the operation limiter. On the other hand, if the 8R non-probable big hit or the 16R non-probable big hit has ended, the main control CPU 40a sets “50 times” as the number of times of change in the operation limiter.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the non-variable state in the operation flag after the end of the shortened probability variation big hit that occurred in the non-variable state. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the variable state in the operation flag after the end of the shortened probability change big hit that occurred in the variable state. At this time, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating that the variable speed state continues until the next big hit game is generated in the operation limiter.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a sets the value set in the operation limiter at the end of the special symbol variation game to “0” or “a value indicating that the variable state continues until the next big hit game is generated”. If not, subtract 1 from the value of the operation limiter and rewrite the value. When the value of the operation limiter after subtraction becomes “0”, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating that the operation flag is in the non-variable state, and changes from the variable state to the non-variable state. And switch.

  The main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the non-probability change state in the probability change flag regardless of the type of the big hit when the big hit game occurs, and sets the operation flag in the non-change state. Set the value shown. Incidentally, at the time of occurrence of the small hit game, the main control CPU 40a does not change the values set in the operation flag and the probability change flag at the occurrence.

Next, the normal symbol input process will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the gate 32. The main control CPU 40a performs gate entry determination by determining whether a detection signal output when the gate switch SW6 detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of the gate entry determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the gate entry determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the normal hit determination random number from the random number generator 40d, and stores the acquired value in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c. Remember. Then, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the normal symbol is being executed or not during the normal symbol variation game or the normal hit game. When the determination result of the normal symbol execution determination is affirmative, that is, when the normal symbol variation game or the normal hit game is being played, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the normal symbol execution determination is negative, that is, when the normal symbol variation game is not being played and the normal hit game is not being played, the main control CPU 40a stores in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c. Reads the value of the normal hit judgment random number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a normal hit lottery to determine whether or not the read value of the normal hit determination random number matches the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. At this time, the main control CPU 40a performs the normal winning lottery using the normal hit determination value when the variable state is in the variable state, and when the variable state is in the non-variable state The normal hit lottery is performed using the normal hit judgment value. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, whether or not the normal winning lottery for determining whether or not the normal winning is obtained is determined and stopped in the normal symbol changing game corresponding to the derivation effect. This corresponds to a derivation lottery of whether or not a specific result is derived. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs the normal winning lottery functions as a derivation lottery means.

  When the normal winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the normal winning symbol as the normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 31 at the end of the normal symbol changing game. On the other hand, when the normal winning lottery is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines an unusual symbol as a normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 31 at the end of the normal symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 40a that has determined the normal symbol to be confirmed and stopped displayed on the normal symbol display device 31 determines the variation time of the normal symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines a shorter time as the variation time of the normal symbol variation game when in the variable state, than when in the non-variable state.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a performs various processes related to the normal symbol variation game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 31 so that the normal symbol variation game is started by variably displaying the normal symbol. Further, the main control CPU 40a starts measuring the variation time of the normal symbol variation game. Then, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

  Further, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a displays the normal symbol determined as the normal symbol to be confirmed and stopped when the determined variation time has elapsed, so that the normal symbol display device 31 performs the fixed stop display. Controls the display content of. Thus, the main control CPU 40a that controls the execution of the normal symbol variation game as the derivation effect in the normal symbol display device 31 functions as the derivation effect control means in this embodiment.

  In addition, when the normal control lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a controls the open and closed states of the electric opening / closing blades 18 after the normal symbol variation game to be won, thereby generating the normal win game. (Give. It should be noted that the main control CPU 40a increases the time for opening the electric opening / closing blade 18 when the normal hit game is in the changed state compared to the non-changed state. .

  By the way, even if it does not change according to whether or not the time for each opening and closing blade 18 for electric operation to be in an open state is changed, the electric opening and closing blade for the winning of one normal winning lottery. Increasing the number of times that 18 is opened can increase the time during which the open / close blade 18 is open. In addition, even if the number of times that the electric open / close blades 18 are opened in the normal lottery win is not changed depending on whether or not the electric open / close blades 18 are changed, the electric open / close blades 18 are open. If the time per one becomes long, the time for the electric opening / closing blade 18 to be in the open state can be lengthened. Naturally, the number of times that the electric opening / closing blades 18 are opened is increased with respect to one normal winning lottery win compared with the case where the electric opening / closing blades 18 are opened, as compared to the case where the electric opening / closing blades 18 are open. If the hitting time is lengthened, it is possible to lengthen the time during which the electric opening / closing blade 18 is open in the variable state.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the normal winning game in which the electric second start winning device 17 that is an opening / closing device when the normal winning lottery is won corresponds to the open / close gaming state. The main control CPU 40a that controls the open state and the closed state of the electric second start winning device 17 functions as an open / close gaming state generating means in the present embodiment.

Further, the main control CPU 40a performs non-electrical prize opening error processing for executing an error effect. Hereinafter, the non-electrical winning prize error process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the non-electrical prize opening error process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the lower large prize opening 22 (step S11). In step S11, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the lower count switch SW4 detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S13. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a resets the non-electrical prize count stored in the main control RAM 40c (step S12), and proceeds to the process of step S13. In step S <b> 12, the main control CPU 40 a sets “0 (zero)” to the non-electric winning prize count. By resetting the non-electrical winning count in step S12, the non-electrical winning count is non-electrical until the game ball enters the lower major winning port 22 after the game ball has entered the lower major winning port 22. The number of game balls that have entered the second start winning device 27 is set.

  In step S <b> 13, the main control CPU 40 a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the non-electric second start winning device 27. In step S13, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a detection signal that is output when the non-electrically operated second start port switch SW5 detects a game ball is input. And when the determination result of step S13 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the non-electrical prize port error process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S13 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the non-electric prize count stored in the main control RAM 40c, and rewrites the non-electric prize count (step S14). Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the non-electrical winning count after rewriting is equal to or greater than the number of errors (5 in this embodiment) (step S15). If the determination result of step S15 is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the non-electrical prize winning hole error process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a outputs an error command for instructing execution of the error effect to the effect control CPU 41a (step S16), and ends the non-electrical prize opening error process.

Next, a prize ball process performed by the main control CPU 40a in order to pay out a game ball as a prize ball will be described.
In the winning ball process, the main control CPU 40a, when receiving the detection signal from the first start opening switch SW1, pays out the number of gaming balls determined by the first starting winning device 15 to the pachinko gaming machine 10. The dispensing device 45 attached to the back side of the machine is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when receiving the detection signal from the electric second start opening switch SW2, pays out a predetermined number of game balls in the electric second start winning device 17. 45 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the payout device 45 so as to pay out the number of game balls determined in the upper prize winning slot 20 when the detection signal from the upper count switch SW3 is input. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the payout device 45 so as to pay out the number of game balls determined in the lower large winning opening 22 when the detection signal from the lower count switch SW4 is input. In addition, when the detection signal from the non-electric second start opening switch SW5 is input, the main control CPU 40a pays out the number of game balls determined for the non-electric second start winning device 27. The dispensing device 45 is controlled. Thus, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that controls the payout device 45 so as to pay out the game ball as a prize ball functions as a payout control means.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 41a of the effect control board 41 based on the control program stored in the effect control ROM 41b will be described.
When the change control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 41a determines the combination (display result) of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 according to the instruction content of the command. Specifically, the effect control CPU 41a, when a variation pattern for a jackpot system effect is specified, a combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from among the jackpot symbol combinations (for example, [222] and [777]) To decide. In addition, when the variation pattern for the small hit system effect is designated, the effect control CPU 41a displays a decorative symbol that is confirmed and stopped from a special symbol combination (for example, [4 ○ 4] or [8 ○ 8]). Determine the combination. In addition, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach production is designated, the effect control CPU 41a performs a decoration stop display from among outlier symbol combinations including the reach symbol combinations (for example, [323] and [676]). Determine the combination of symbols. In addition, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is designated, the effect control CPU 41a determines the combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from among the offending symbol combinations (for example, [122] and [426]).

  In addition, when the change pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to display the decorative symbols in each column in a variable manner and start the decorative symbol changing game. Then, when the end control CPU 41a inputs the end command, the display contents of the effect display device 11 are displayed so that the combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped (display result) is confirmed and stopped and the decorative symbol variation game is terminated. Control. The effect control CPU 41a controls the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La based on the designated variation pattern. In addition, the effect control CPU 41a controls the sound output mode of the speaker Sp based on the designated variation pattern.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that controls the execution of the first special symbol variation game in the first special symbol display device 12, and the decorative symbol variation game accompanying the execution of the first special symbol variation game. The effect control CPU 41a that controls the execution of the function functions as a variable game control means. Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that controls the execution of the second special symbol variation game in the second special symbol display device 13, and the decoration accompanying the execution of the second special symbol variation game The effect control CPU 41a that controls the execution of the symbol variation game functions as a special variation game control means.

  When the opening command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the opening effect of the effect content corresponding to the type of jackpot that can be specified from the special symbol designation command. In addition, when the first round command is input, the production control CPU 41a executes the round production of the production content corresponding to the type of jackpot that can be specified from the special symbol designation command until the ending command is inputted. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled. When the ending command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the ending effect of the effect content corresponding to the type of jackpot that can be specified from the special symbol designation command. When the opening command, each round command, and the ending command are input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp in addition to the effect display device 11.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 41a inputs the small hit opening command, it controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the start effect of the effect content corresponding to the small hit. In the present embodiment, the start effect of the effect content corresponding to the small hit is the same as the opening effect of the effect content corresponding to the shortened probability variation big hit. In addition, when the effect control CPU 41a inputs the small hit release command, the display content of the effect display device 11 is executed so as to execute the opening / closing effect of the effect content corresponding to the small hit until the small hit ending command is input. To control. In the present embodiment, the opening / closing effect of the effect content corresponding to the small hit is the same as the round effect of the effect content corresponding to the shortening probability variation big hit. In addition, when the effect control CPU 41a inputs the small hitting ending command, it controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the end effect of the effect content corresponding to the small hit.

  When the error command is input, the effect control CPU 41a controls the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La so that the error effect is executed until a predetermined time elapses. Incidentally, when an error effect is performed, the decoration lamp La emits yellow light. When the error command is input, the effect control CPU 41a interrupts the execution of the effect and causes the error effect to be executed if the decoration lamp La is executing an effect other than the error effect (for example, a notice effect). . That is, the effect control CPU 41a gives priority to the execution of the error effect over the execution of effects other than the error effect.

  Here, based on Fig.7 (a)-(d), the flow of the game in the pachinko game machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. It is assumed that the non-electric second start winning device 27 is in a closed state at the time of occurrence of a big hit game or a small hit game.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when the 8R probability variation big hit, the 8R non-probable big hit, the 16R positive variation big hit, or the 16R non-probable big hit occurs, the upper prize winning opening 20 is opened and closed. At this time, even if a game ball is made to enter the upper university winning opening 20, the non-electric second start winning device 27 is not opened, and the non-electric second start winning device 27 is in a closed state. Maintained.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the shortened probability variation big hit or the small hit occurs, the lower big prize opening 22 is opened for “1 second”. When a game ball enters the lower major prize opening 22 when the lower major prize opening 22 is open as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the non-electrically operated first as shown in FIG. 7 (c). 2. The start winning device 27 is displaced (changed) from the closed state to the open state. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7D, when a game ball enters the non-electric second start winning device 27 that has been opened, the right to execute the second special symbol variation game can be acquired. Become. In the present embodiment, since the prescribed number of the non-electric second start winning device 27 is set to “2”, the non-electric second start winning device 27 is changed from the closed state to the open state. If it is possible, the right to execute the second special symbol variation game for two times can be acquired.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects. Shimodai Prize Exit 22
(1) When a game ball is entered into the big prize opening 20 or 22 during the occurrence (granting) of the game when the big prize opening 20 or 22 serving as a special winning means is opened or closed, the game ball is brought into the rolling path 23. There is a possibility of entering the ball (operation trigger means). Specifically, when a game ball enters the lower large prize opening 22 while the lower probability winning jackpot or the small hit is being given when the lower big prize opening 22 is opened and closed, the game ball enters the rolling path 23. (Roll). When the game ball enters the rolling path 23, the non-electric second start winning device 27 as the special opening / closing means is closed in accordance with the game ball entering the rolling path 23 ( Transition from non-permitted state to open state (permitted state). For this reason, during the awarding of a winning game, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not a game ball enters the big prize opening 20, 22. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by noting whether or not the state of the non-electric second start winning device 27 changes.

  Further, when a game ball is entered into the lower grand prize winning port 22, the non-electric second start winning device can be entered from a situation where the game ball cannot enter the non-electric second start winning device 27 (closed state). It changes to the situation (open state) where a game ball can enter 27. For this reason, when it becomes a state (open state) in which a game ball can be made to enter the lower large winning opening 22 and the game ball can be made to enter the non-electric second start winning device 27, the non-electric second The curiosity of the player who wants to enter the game ball into the start winning device 27 can be improved, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (2) The non-electric second start winning device 27 serving as a special opening / closing means is disposed separately from the lower large winning opening 22 that is opened and closed when a winning game is generated in the game area. As a result, when a game is generated when the lower big prize opening 22 is opened, a place (attention point) where attention is paid to whether or not a game ball enters is indicated as “Non-electric from the lower big prize opening 22”. "Second start winning device 27" or "non-electric second start winning device 27 to lower large winning port 22" can be switched. As a result, it is possible to suppress the game from becoming monotonous as compared to the case where the place of interest is single.

  (3) A game ball enters the rolling path 23 (operational trigger means) during the occurrence (giving) of a shortened probability variation big hit or small hit that is a specific type of hit game among a plurality of types of hit games. It is easy to perform control to allow On the other hand, during the occurrence of an 8R probability variable big hit or 8R non-probable big hit, which is a hit game other than a specific type among a plurality of types of hit games, control for allowing a game ball to enter the rolling path 23 Is difficult to do. Thus, the rate of entering the rolling path 23 differs depending on the type of hit game that occurs. For this reason, attention is paid to whether or not the given winning game is a type of hitting game (specific type) having a high ratio of rolling (entering) to the rolling path 23, and the big prize opening 20 , 22, the non-electric second start prize-winning device 27 is focused on whether or not it is in an open state (allowable state), so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (4) During the occurrence of a small hit (winning game) where the game state cannot change due to the occurrence (grant), it is assumed that the game ball enters the rolling path 23 (operation trigger means) Control to allow is performed. For this reason, even if a small hit is awarded, in addition to winning a prize ball, aiming to change the non-electric second start winning device 27 as a special opening / closing means to an open state (allowable state) It is possible to encourage the game balls to be actively fired and to improve the interest in the game.

  In addition, the time during which the lower big prize opening 22 is opened in the small hit is set to a time when it is difficult to enter the game ball. In this way, even if a small hit occurs when the opening time of the lower prize opening 22 is set to a time when it is difficult to enter the game ball, the game ball is urged to be actively fired, It is possible to improve the interest in

  (5) The winning game includes an 8R probability variable big hit and an 8R non-probable big hit, which are first type hit games in which the opening time of the special winning openings 20 and 22 as special winning means is set to a predetermined time or more, There are shortened probability variation big hits and small hits that become the second type hit game in which the opening time of the big winning openings 20, 22 is set to be less than the specified time. Then, during the occurrence (giving) of the shortening probability variation big hit or small hit, control for allowing the game ball to enter the rolling path 23 is easily performed. On the other hand, during the occurrence of the 8R probability variation big hit or the 8R non-probable big hit, it is difficult to perform control for allowing the game ball to enter the rolling path 23. In this way, the ratio of whether or not to enter the rolling path 23 (operation trigger means) varies depending on the length of time during which the winning prize openings 20 and 22 can be opened during the occurrence of the winning game. For this reason, even if the opening times of the special winning openings 20 and 22 are short (less than the specified time), it is possible to actively launch the game ball and to improve the interest in the game.

  In addition, the time during which the lower big prize opening 22 is opened in the shortened probability variation big hit and the small hit is set to a time when it is difficult to enter the game ball. However, if the game ball can enter the lower university winning opening 22, the non-electric second start winning apparatus 27 can be changed to the open state. Even if a hit game set at a time when it is difficult to enter the ball is generated, it is possible to actively launch the game ball and to improve the interest of the game.

  (6) A prize ball can be obtained by putting a game ball into the lower great prize opening 22 as a special prize means. Further, when a game ball that has entered the Shimodai winning opening 22 enters the rolling path 23, the game is transferred to the non-electric second start winning device 27 (special opening / closing means) that has changed to an open state with the entry. If you enter a ball, you can get more prize balls. As a result, a game in which a prize ball associated with a game ball entering the lower grand prize winning opening 22 and a prize ball associated with a game ball entering the non-electric second starting prize-winning device 27 are obtained in stages. Can be realized. For this reason, it is possible to entertain the player rather than simply playing the game ball into the lower large winning opening 22 to acquire the prize ball.

  (7) If a game ball is entered into the non-electric second start winning device 27 as the special opening / closing means, the right to execute the second special symbol variation game (special variation game) is obtained, and the 16R probability variation big hit or An opportunity for an advantageous state such as a 16R non-probable big hit is given. For this reason, paying attention to whether or not the right to execute the second special symbol variation game can be acquired by placing a game ball into the lower major prize opening 22 as a special winning means, and improving the interest in the game Can do.

  (8) The non-electric second start winning device 27 is in the open state (permitted state) from the closed state (non-permitted state) in conjunction with the operation of entering the game ball into the lower major prize opening 22 as a special winning means. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the non-electric second start winning device 27 has changed from the closed state to the open state due to the game ball entering the lower large winning opening 22.

  (9) In the game area YBa, when the non-electric second start winning device 27 serving as the special opening / closing means fires the game ball to enter the lower large winning opening 22 serving as the special winning means. The game ball was placed in an area where it can roll. Therefore, it is possible to aim at entering the non-electric second start winning device 27 while aiming at the game ball entering the lower large winning opening 22. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of changing the operation mode of the firing handle Y6a as the firing operation means each time the non-electric second start winning device 27 changes to the open state (allowed state). In other words, the game property that causes the non-electric second start winning device 27 to change from the closed state to the open state by causing the game ball to enter the lower large winning opening 22 without placing a burden on the player in playing the game. Can be entertained.

  (10) When a game ball is entered into the non-electric second start winning device 27 serving as the special opening / closing means, the game ball is entered into the first start winning device 15 serving as the start trigger means. An advantageous state (16R positive variation big hit and 16R non-probable big hit) that is more advantageous to the player than the hit game (8R positive variation big hit, 8R non-probable big hit and small hit) that occurs as a trigger is generated. Therefore, the player's attention to whether or not the second special symbol variation game (special variation game) triggered by entering the non-electric second start winning device 27 can be increased can be increased. Further, it is possible to increase the player's degree of attention as to whether or not the second special symbol variation game is a big hit (hit), and to improve the interest in the game.

  (11) An upper large winning opening 20 that does not allow entry into the rolling path 23 (operation trigger means) and a lower large winning opening 22 that allows entry into the rolling path 23 are provided. Then, when the control for allowing the game ball to enter the rolling path 23 is performed, the control for opening the lower large winning opening 22 is performed. On the other hand, when the control that does not allow the game ball to enter the rolling path 23 is performed, the control for opening the upper prize winning opening 20 is performed. For this reason, the player can easily determine whether or not it is allowed to enter the rolling path 23 by visually recognizing the open big winning openings 20 and 22.

  (12) When a shortened probability variation big hit or a small win is generated (given), the number of times that the lower big prize opening 22 is opened as a special winning means may be plural. For this reason, the chance of changing the non-electric second start winning device 27 from the closed state to the open state is reached many times only by the occurrence of the shortened probability variation big hit or small hit once. In other words, it is possible to provide a plurality of scenes for improving the interests of the game, and to further enhance the interests of the game, only by generating a single short cut probability change big hit or small hit.

  (13) When a larger number of game balls enter the non-electric second start winning device 27 than expected, an error effect is executed. For this reason, it is possible to notify the possibility that the game ball has been illegally entered into the non-electric second start winning device 27.

  (14) The error effect is performed by the decorative lamp La arranged on the front side of the front frame Y3 of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For this reason, there is a possibility that an error effect is being performed, that is, that a game ball is illegally entered into the non-electric second start winning device 27 (for example, an employee of a game hall). Can be notified.

(15) The non-electric second start winning device 27 is configured to be displaced (changed) to an open state or a closed state without using an electric signal, or to maintain each state. For this reason, consumption of electric power energy can be suppressed rather than displacing to an open state or a closed state using an electric signal, or maintaining each state. In addition, since no current flows, it is possible to prevent the non-electric second start winning device 27 and the like from generating heat.
(Second Embodiment)
Next, 2nd Embodiment of a gaming machine is described based on FIG.8 and FIG.9. Note that. The same configurations as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description and drawings are omitted.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the second embodiment, the upper prize winning port 22 is opened regardless of which big hit game is generated without disposing the upper prize winning port 20. Therefore, the lower big prize opening 22 is opened in all round games in the 8R probability variation big hit, 8R non-probability big hit, 16R probability varying big hit and 16R non-probable big hit.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the second embodiment, the configuration of the rolling path 23 into which the game ball that has entered the lower grand prize opening 22 enters (rolls) is the same as that of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the first embodiment. Is different.
Hereinafter, based on FIG. 8, the structure of the rolling path 23 into which the game ball which entered the lower big prize opening 22 in this embodiment enters is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a rolling path 23 in which a game ball that has entered the lower major prize opening 22 rolls is formed in the back of the lower major prize opening 22. This rolling path 23 is formed on the back side of the game board YB. The rolling path 23 is provided with a lower count switch SW4.

  In addition, two branch channels, a left diversion channel 51 and a right diversion channel 52, are formed on the most downstream side of the rolling path 23. The left swing shunt 51 and the right swing shunt 52 communicate with the rolling path 23, and a game ball that has entered the lower grand prize winning port 22 can roll (enter a ball) via the rolling path 23. Is formed.

  In addition, a game ball that has entered the lower large winning opening 22 and rolled on the rolling path 23 is located on the most downstream side of the rolling path 23 and between the left swing branch 51 and the right swing branch 52. A sorting shutter Fs is provided as a sorting unit that can sort to the left sorting path 51 or the right sorting path 52. The distribution shutter Fs is a position (the left distribution position (indicated by a solid line in FIG. 8)) that distributes the game balls that have been rolling on the rolling path 23 to the left distribution path 51 by the operation of the distribution actuator. The game ball that has been rolling on the rolling path 23 is disposed so as to be displaceable between a position where the game ball is distributed to the right distribution path 52 (right distribution position (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 8)).

  When the distribution shutter Fs is in the left distribution position, the distribution shutter Fs blocks the rolling of the game ball to the right distribution path 52 while not blocking the rolling of the game ball to the left distribution path 51. For this reason, the sorting shutter Fs at the left sorting position restricts the gaming ball that has rolled on the rolling path 23 from rolling to the right sorting path 52, while The rolling game ball is allowed to roll to the left shunting path 51 and guided to the left shunting path 51.

  When the distribution shutter Fs is in the right distribution position, the distribution shutter Fs blocks the rolling of the game ball to the left distribution path 51 while not blocking the rolling of the game ball to the right distribution path 52. . For this reason, the sorting shutter Fs at the right sorting position restricts the gaming ball rolling on the rolling path 23 from rolling to the left sorting path 51, while The rolling game ball is allowed to roll to the right swing shunt 52 and guided to the right swing shunt 52. Therefore, the distribution shutter Fs distributes the game balls that have entered the lower large winning opening 22 to either the left distribution path 51 or the right distribution path 52.

  A movable lever 24 to which the link mechanism 25 is connected is disposed in the left distribution path 51. The movable lever 24 in the present embodiment has a position that blocks the left diversion path 51 (closed position (shown by a solid line in FIG. 8)) and a position that does not block the left diversion path 51 (open position (in FIG. It is disposed so as to be displaceable between the two). Then, the game ball rolling on the left swing path 51 is discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Similarly, a game ball that rolls on the right allotment path 52 where the movable lever 24 is not provided is discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  For this reason, if the game ball that has entered the lower major winning opening 22 is distributed to the left distribution path 51 by the distribution shutter Fs, the game ball is displaced from the closed position to the open position by the game ball. The electric second start winning device 27 can be changed from the closed state to the open state. On the other hand, when the game ball that has entered the lower large winning opening 22 is distributed to the right distribution path 52 by the distribution shutter Fs, the position of the movable lever 24 cannot be displaced by the game ball, so The electric second start winning device 27 cannot be changed from the closed state to the open state.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the left swing path 51 functions as an operation trigger means. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the control for setting the position of the distribution shutter Fs to the left distribution position corresponds to the control for allowing the game ball to enter the operation trigger means. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the control for setting the position of the distribution shutter Fs to the right distribution position corresponds to the control for not allowing the game ball to enter the operation trigger means.

Hereinafter, control related to the distribution mode of the distribution shutter Fs will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the sorting actuator is connected to the main control CPU 40a. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the operation of the sorting actuator and controls the sorting mode of the sorting shutter Fs.

  The main control CPU 40a in the present embodiment controls the distribution mode of the distribution shutter Fs during the big hit game occurrence according to the type of the big hit game to be generated. Specifically, when the 8R probability variation big hit, 8R uncertain variation big hit, 16R probability variation big hit, or 16R non-probable big hit occurs, the main control CPU 40a does not vibrate from the start of the big hit game until the end. The position of the minute shutter Fs is controlled to the right distribution position. On the other hand, when the shortening probability variation big hit is generated, the main control CPU 40a controls the position of the distribution shutter Fs to the left distribution position from the start to the end of the occurrence of the big hit game. Incidentally, when the small hit is generated, the main control CPU 40a controls the position of the distribution shutter Fs to the left distribution position from the start to the end of the generation of the small hit game.

  Here, based on Fig.9 (a)-(e), the flow of the game in the pachinko game machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. It is assumed that the non-electric second start winning device 27 is in a closed state at the time of occurrence of a big hit game or a small hit game.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when a big hit game or a small hit game is generated, the lower big prize opening 22 is opened. Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, it is assumed that a game ball has entered the lower major prize opening 22 when the lower major prize opening 22 is open.

  At this time, when the shortening probability variation big hit or small hit is generated, the distribution shutter Fs is controlled to the left distribution position, so that the game ball that has entered the lower large prize opening 22 is left-distributed. 51. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9C, the non-electric second start winning device 27 changes from the closed state to the open state. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9D, when a game ball enters the non-electric second start winning device 27 that has been opened, the right to execute the second special symbol variation game can be acquired. Become. In the present embodiment, since the prescribed number of the non-electric second start winning device 27 is set to “2”, the non-electric second start winning device 27 is changed from the closed state to the open state. If it is possible, the right to execute the second special symbol variation game for two times can be acquired.

  On the other hand, when 8R probability variation big hit, 8R non-probable variation big hit, 16R probability variation big hit or 16R non-probable big hit has occurred, since the sorting shutter Fs is controlled to the right sorting position, FIG. 9B shows. The game balls that have entered the lower major winning opening 22 are distributed to the right distribution path 52. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9 (e), the non-electric second start winning device 27 is not in the open state but is maintained in the closed state.

As described above in detail, this embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (2), (7) to (10), and (12) to (15) of the first embodiment.
(16) If a game ball is entered into the lower major prize opening 22 during the occurrence of a hit game when the lower major prize opening 22 serving as a special winning means is opened and closed, the game ball is moved to the left swing shunt 51 (operation trigger means). ). Specifically, when a game ball enters the lower large winning opening 22 during the occurrence of a shortened probability variation big hit or small hit in which the distribution shutter Fs is controlled to the left distribution position, the game ball moves to the left distribution branch. Enter (roll) into 51. When the game ball enters the left swing shunt 51, the non-electric second start winning device 27 as the special opening / closing means is closed as the game ball enters the left swing shunt 51. Transition from state (non-permitted state) to open state (permitted state). For this reason, during the occurrence of a winning game, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not a game ball enters the lower large winning opening 22, as well as accompanying a game ball entering the lower large winning opening 22. Thus, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by paying attention to whether or not the state of the non-electric second start winning device 27 changes.

  Further, when a game ball is entered into the lower grand prize winning port 22, the non-electric second start winning device can be entered from a situation where the game ball cannot enter the non-electric second start winning device 27 (closed state). It changes to the situation (open state) where a game ball can enter 27. For this reason, when it becomes a state (open state) in which a game ball can be made to enter the lower large winning opening 22 and the game ball can be made to enter the non-electric second start winning device 27, the non-electric second The curiosity of the player who wants to enter the game ball into the start winning device 27 can be improved, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (17) During the occurrence (giving) of a shortened probability variation big hit or small hit that is a specific type of winning game among a plurality of types of winning games, the game ball that has entered the lower prize winning port 22 is left-handed shunt 51 It is easy to perform control for allowing the player to enter the ball. On the other hand, during the occurrence of an 8R probability variable big hit or 8R non-probable big hit that becomes a hit game other than a specific type among a plurality of types of hit games, the game ball that entered the lower big prize opening 22 is left-handed shunt 51 ( It is difficult to perform control for allowing entry into the operation trigger means). In this way, the ratio of the game balls that have entered the lower large winning opening 22 enters the left diversion channel 51 differs depending on the type of game that is generated. For this reason, attention is paid to whether or not the generated winning game is a type (specific type) winning game in which the game ball that has entered the lower grand prize winning opening 22 enters the left swing shunt 51. Can be made. At the same time, it can be noted whether or not the non-electric second start winning device 27 is in an open state (allowable state) after the game ball has entered the lower university winning opening 22, which improves the interest in the game. Can be planned.

  (18) During the occurrence of a small hit (small hit game) in which the game state cannot change due to the occurrence (granting), a game ball enters the left diversion path 51 (operation trigger means) Control is performed to allow this. For this reason, even if a small hit occurs, in addition to winning a prize ball, aiming to change the non-electric second start winning device 27 as a special opening / closing means to an open state (allowed state) It is possible to encourage the game balls to be actively fired and to improve the interest in the game.

  In addition, the time during which the lower big prize opening 22 is opened in the small hit is set to a time when it is difficult to enter the game ball. In this way, even if a small hit occurs when the opening time of the lower prize opening 22 is set to a time when it is difficult to enter the game ball, the game ball is urged to be actively fired, It is possible to improve the interest in

  (19) For the winning game, the 8R probability variable big hit and 8R non-probable big hit, which are the first winning games in which the opening time of the lower big prize opening 22 as a special winning means is set to be longer than the prescribed time, There are a shortened probability variation big hit and a small hit that become a second type hit game in which the time that the winning opening 22 can be opened is set to be less than the specified time. Then, during the occurrence (giving) of the shortened probability variation big hit and the small hit, the control for allowing the game ball that has entered the lower big prize opening 22 to enter the left swing path 51 (operation trigger means). Is easy to do. On the other hand, during the occurrence of the 8R probability variation big hit or the 8R non-probability big hit, it is difficult to perform control for allowing the game ball that has entered the lower large winning opening 22 to enter the left swing path 51. As described above, the ratio of whether or not the game ball that entered the lower major prize opening 22 enters the left diversion path 51 due to the length of time during which the lower major prize opening 22 can be opened during the occurrence of the winning game. Is different. For this reason, even when the opening time of the lower prize winning opening 22 is short (less than the specified time), it is possible to actively urge the game ball to be fired and to improve the interest of the game ball.

  In addition, the time during which the lower big prize opening 22 is opened in the shortened probability variation big hit and the small hit is set to a time when it is difficult to enter the game ball. However, if the game ball can enter the lower university winning opening 22, the non-electric second start winning apparatus 27 can be changed to the open state. Even if a hit game set at a time when it is difficult to enter the ball is generated, it is possible to actively launch the game ball and to improve the interest of the game.

  (20) A winning ball can be obtained by putting a gaming ball into the lower major winning opening 22 as a special winning means. Further, when a game ball that has entered the Shimodai winning opening 22 enters the left swing shunt 51 (operation trigger means), the non-electric second start winning device 27 (transitioned to the open state with the entry) ( If a game ball is inserted into the special opening / closing means), a further prize ball can be obtained. As a result, a game in which a prize ball associated with a game ball entering the lower grand prize winning opening 22 and a prize ball associated with a game ball entering the non-electric second starting prize-winning device 27 are obtained in stages. Can be realized. For this reason, it is possible to entertain the player rather than simply playing the game ball into the lower large winning opening 22 to acquire the prize ball.

  (21) As a distribution means that can distribute the game ball that has entered the lower grand prize winning port 22 to the left distribution path 51 (operation trigger means) and the right distribution path 52 (other than the operation trigger means). The sorting shutter Fs is provided. Then, by controlling the distribution mode of the distribution shutter Fs, the control allows the game ball that has entered the lower large winning opening 22 to enter the left distribution path 51 and the lower large winning opening 22. Control that does not allow the game ball that has entered the ball to enter the left swing shunt 51 can be executed. For this reason, even if the number of the big winning openings (special winning means) arranged in the game board YB is one, the non-electric second start winning device 27 as the special opening / closing means is changed to the open state. Thus, it is possible to perform control that does not change the non-electric second start winning device 27 to the open state. In this way, if the number of winning prizes can be reduced to one, the degree of freedom in designing the game board YB (arrangement of each member, the size of the character picture, etc.) can be increased. Furthermore, if the number of the big winning holes is one instead of a plurality, it is possible to secure an area for arranging members other than the big winning holes in the game area YBa having a limited area.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
-In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when a winning game is generated in which the gaming state after the big hit game is changed to a change state, the operation trigger means (the rolling path 23, the first in the first embodiment) In the second embodiment, it may be configured to enter the left swing path 51). When configured in this way, the execution of the second special symbol variation game can be suspended when the big hit game is occurring. For this reason, even in a situation where the game is in a variable state after the big hit game is generated in the non-variable state, the first special symbol variation game is advantageous over the first special symbol variation game by switching to the short state. 2 It can be a special symbol variation game. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a scene where the first special symbol variation game is a big hit despite the fact that the second special symbol variation game is easy to be executed.

  -In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, you may change the kind of jackpot game. Similarly, the types of small hit games may be increased. Further, in the case where a plurality of types of small hit games are provided, in the first embodiment, the number of times and the time at which the lower big prize opening 22 is opened may be varied depending on the type of the small hit game. The time for which the sorting shutter Fs is controlled to the left sorting position may be varied depending on the type of game.

You may arrange | position in a different area | region.

  -In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, the time which can open | release the lower big prize opening 22 in a small hit may be time when it is easy to enter a game ball. Similarly, the time during which the lower large winning opening 22 can be opened in the shortened probability variation big hit may be a time during which it is easy to enter the game ball. Further, for example, the time during which the big winning opening can be opened in the 8R probability variation big hit may be changed to a time when it is difficult to enter the game ball.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the second special symbol variation game may not be executed with priority over the first special symbol variation game. For example, the special symbol variation game may be executed in the order in which the execution of the special symbol variation game is suspended regardless of the type of the special symbol variation game. Also, the first special symbol variation game may be executed with priority over the second special symbol variation game. Alternatively, the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game may be executed simultaneously. When configured in this way, the effect display device 11 may separately execute the decorative symbol variation game accompanying the execution of the first special symbol variation game and the decorative symbol variation game associated with the execution of the second special symbol variation game. desirable. For example, the area of the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11 is divided into an upper and lower two parts, an ornamental symbol variation game associated with execution of the first special symbol variation game is executed in the upper region, and a second special symbol variation game is performed in the lower region. You may comprise so that the decoration symbol change game accompanying execution of may be performed.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the “value indicating that the variable state continues until the next big hit game is generated” set in the operation limiter is substantially the next big hit game. It may be a value (for example, 10,000 times) indicating that the variable state continues until it occurs. In this case, if the value set in the operation limiter is not “0”, the value of the operation limiter may be decremented by 1 every time the special symbol variation game is executed. In addition, the “value indicating that the variable state continues until the next big hit game is generated” set in the operation limiter is that the variable state continues until the next big hit game is controlled. It is good also as a value which shows. For example, if the operation flag is set to “value indicating variable state” and the operation limiter is set to “0”, the value of the operation limiter is subtracted because the value of the operation limiter is “0”. There is nothing to do. Therefore, since it is not determined whether or not the operation limiter after subtraction is “0”, the value of the operation flag is not rewritten and the variable state continues until the next big hit game is generated. To do.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the type of jackpot that can be determined at the time of winning the big hit lottery of the first special symbol variation process (when the first special symbol variation game is executed) and the second special symbol variation process The type of jackpot that can be determined at the time of winning the lottery lottery (when the second special symbol variation game is executed) may be the same.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the player's advantage (the so-called pitching rate) and the second special symbol when winning the jackpot lottery when executing the first special symbol variation game The advantage for the player when winning the big hit lottery when executing the variable game may be the same.
