  However, even in the inventions disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a game ball can easily enter a region for executing a big hit game. Even if it can be enjoyed, there is a problem that there is no feeling that the big hit game has been executed by the player's own power, and it is difficult to have a strong feeling for the behavior of the game ball.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that can give a player a strong feeling about the behavior of a game ball.

  The bullet ball game machine according to claim 1 of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, includes a starting port provided in the gaming area, and a numerical value extracted due to the game ball entering the starting port. Depending on whether the data is a specific value or not, whether or not to win or not is determined, a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol indicating the result of the determination, and the special symbol indicates the hit After the symbol is displayed, the special symbol display device includes a jackpot game executing means for executing a jackpot game even if a game ball enters any of a plurality of specific areas, and the special symbol display device has a plurality of types of symbols indicating the hits. A symbol indicating the winning determined from the inside is displayed, and in the jackpot game, there are a plurality of types of jackpot games with different number of winning balls that can be acquired, and game balls can enter from the entrance. The plurality of specific areas are arranged downstream A specific area guiding path, a ball restricting means for permitting or prohibiting a game ball from entering the specific area guiding path, and a game ball that has entered the specific area guiding path is allowed to flow downstream or the specific area The distribution means for allocating whether to discharge outside the area guidance path, the specific area guidance path entrance detection means for detecting a game ball that has entered the specific area guidance path from the entrance, and the allocation means The discharge ball detection means for detecting a game ball to be discharged out of the area guiding path, and the specific indication according to the symbol indicating the hit displayed on the special symbol control device when the hit determination means determines that it is a hit. Specific area big hit game setting means for setting a big hit game to be executed when a game ball enters for each area, and the specific area guidance is more than the probability of causing the distribution rate by the distribution means to flow downstream. Road The probability that the ball is to be discharged is higher, and the ball restricting means determines that the specified ball is due to the fact that the winning / failing determining means determines that the winning ball is hit and the game ball is detected by the discharged ball detecting means. Allowing a game ball to enter the area guidance path, and prohibiting the entry of the game ball to the specific area guidance due to the detection of the game ball by the specific area guidance path entrance detection means; The specific area big hit game setting means can set the different types of big hit games in different specific areas.

  The game ball in the specific area guiding path according to claim 1 is configured to be visible to the player.

  The structure for discharging to the outside of the specific area guiding path is preferably a structure for discharging to the game area provided on the game board of the ball game machine.

  In the bullet ball game machine according to the first aspect, the game balls distributed downstream by the distribution means may necessarily enter the specific area.

  When the number of the specific areas arranged on the specific area guide path according to claim 1 is five, the specific area big hit game setting means plays a big hit game with different number of winning balls that can be obtained in the five specific areas. Instead of setting each, it is only necessary to set at least two types of big hit games with different numbers of winning balls to be acquired in five specific areas. Since different types of big hit games can be set in different specific areas by the specific area big hit game setting means, a big hit game consisting of the same number of winning balls can be set in all five specific areas. There is also.

  You may make it the structure provided with the production | presentation display means to perform presentation display based on the determination result by the success / failure determination means in the bullet ball game machine of Claim 1. In that case, the effect display means displays the type of jackpot game with different number of winning balls that can be acquired set in different specific areas by the specific area big hit game setting means after the special symbol display device displays the winning symbol. A configuration for informing is preferable.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the bullet ball game machine according to the first aspect, any one of the plurality of specific regions may be a game ball that has flowed down to the downstream by the distribution unit. And a final distribution means that distributes whether to enter the ball or to be discharged out of the specific area guide path.

As a configuration obtained by modifying the configuration of the bullet ball game machine according to claim 2, the configuration described below may be adopted.
For example, in the specific area guide path, a plurality of entrances into which a game ball can enter is arranged downstream of the distribution unit, and a special symbol display device when it is determined to be a hit by the determination unit In accordance with the symbol indicating the hit displayed in the above, a configuration including an assigning unit that assigns each entrance to a specific area or an outlet for discharging outside the specific area guide path is conceivable.
With this configuration, each of the entrances may be assigned to a specific area according to the symbol indicating the winning displayed on the special symbol display device when it is determined to be a winning by the success / failure determination unit. If there is, it may be assigned to a discharge port for discharging outside the specific area guiding path. In the above-described configuration, there are always a plurality of entrances that are assigned to a specific area, and there are also at least one entrance that is assigned to an exit for discharging outside the specific area guide path. Become.

According to the bullet ball game machine according to claim 1, even if the game ball enters the specific area guiding path in which a plurality of specific areas are arranged downstream, the distribution ratio by the distributing means is determined to be the specific area guidance. The probability that the game ball that entered the road is discharged out of the specific area guide path is higher than the probability that the game ball that has entered the road will flow downstream. It becomes difficult to reach the area, and the player may have a strong feeling for the behavior of the game ball, such as the game ball entering one of the specific areas among the plurality of specific areas. it can.
In addition, despite the fact that the hit determination means determines that the game is successful, it is difficult for the game ball to enter the specific area. Can be increased.
In addition, the ball game machine according to claim 1 has a plurality of specific areas, and the hit displayed on the special symbol display device when the specific area big hit game setting means is determined to be a hit by the success / failure determination means. Depending on the design that indicates, different types of big hit games are set in different specific areas, so the number of winning balls that can be acquired will change depending on the specific area where the game balls enter, and it will be specified early In addition to the desire to enter the area, there will also be a desire to enter a specific area where a big hit game with a large number of awardable balls can be executed. I have a strong feeling toward it.

  According to the ball game machine according to claim 2, finally, even if the game ball that has flowed downstream by the distributing means can reach the position where the plurality of specific areas are provided, Since the player may not be able to enter any of the areas and may be discharged outside the specific area guideway, the player feels that he has been able to enter the specific area in one step. It can be created by the behavior of the sphere.

In addition to being output to the test signal terminal, an output signal from the main controller 80 is also output to an external connection terminal 78 for management such as symbol variation and jackpot (also called special game) and sent to the hall main computer. . The main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 can perform bidirectional communication.

  The payout control device 81 operates the payout motor 20 in accordance with a command sent from the main control device 80 and pays out a prize ball. In this embodiment, the detection signal of the payout switch 21 for counting game balls to be paid out as prize balls is input to the payout control device 81, and the payout control device 81 counts the prize balls. In addition, it is also conceivable to use a configuration in which the detection signal of the payout switch 21 is input to the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 and both the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 count the prize balls. In this embodiment, the number of winning balls by entering the first starting port 11 is 3, the number of winning balls by entering the second starting port 12 is 3, and the other winning balls by entering the winning port. The number is 10, and the number of winning balls by entering the big winning opening 14 is 13.

  The payout control device 81 receives signals from the glass frame opening switch 35, the inner frame opening switch 36, the full switch 22, and the ball break switch 23, and a signal indicating that the lower plate 63 is full by the full switch 22. And when a signal indicating that there are few or no game balls in the ball tank is input by the ball break switch 23, the payout motor 20 is stopped and the payout operation of the prize ball is stopped. Note that the full switch 22 and the ball break switch 23 are also configured to continue outputting signals until the state is cleared, and the payout control device 81 causes the payout motor 20 to stop being output. Restart the drive.

  Also, the payout control device 81 operates the payout motor 20 by communicating with the prepaid card unit via the CR unit terminal plate 24, and discharges the rental balls. The paid-out lending ball is detected by the payout switch 21, and the detection signal is input to the payout control device 81. The CR unit terminal board 24 is also connected to the checkout display board 25 so as to be capable of two-way communication. The checkout display board 25 has a ball rental button for requesting rental of game balls and a return for requesting checkout. Button and balance indicator are connected.

Also, the payout control device 81 transmits information relating to the winning ball, information indicating the open / closed state of the frame (inner frame, front frame), etc. to the hall computer via the external connection terminal 78, and also to the launch control device 84. Send a fire stop signal.
In this embodiment, the game ball is paid out, but it may be a sealed structure that stores the game ball generated in accordance with winning etc. without paying out the game ball.

The launch control device 84 controls the launch motor 30 to launch the game ball into the game area 3. In addition to the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84 receives a rotation amount signal from the launch handle 64, a touch signal from the touch switch 28, and a launch stop signal from the launch stop switch 29.
The rotation amount signal is output when the player operates the launch handle 64, the touch signal is output when the player touches the launch handle 64, and the launch stop switch signal is output by the player pressing the launch stop switch 29. Is output. If the touch signal is not input to the firing control device 84, the game ball cannot be fired. If the fire stop switch signal is input, the game ball cannot be fired even if the player touches the launch handle 64. It is like that.

  The sub-integrated control device 83 corresponds to the sub-control device, receives data and commands transmitted from the main control device 80, distributes them to data for effect display control, sound control and lamp control, The display control command and the like are transmitted to the effect design control device 82, and the sound control and lamp control are distributed to each control part (function unit as a sound control device and a lamp control device) included in the display control command 82. Then, the function unit as the sound control device controls the sound output from the speaker by operating the sound LSI based on the data for sound control, and the function unit as the lamp control device is based on the data for lamp control. The various LED and lamp 26 are controlled by operating the lamp driver. Further, the sub integrated control device 83 is connected with an effect button 67 and a jog dial 68, and when the player operates the effect units 67, 68, the operation signal is input to the sub integrated control device 83. . The jog dial 68 may be connected to the effect symbol control device 82.

Bi-directional communication is possible between the sub integrated control device 83 and the production symbol control device 82.
The effect symbol control device 82 displays the effect symbol display based on the data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both those transmitted from the main control device 80 and those generated by the sub integrated control device 83). The device 6 is controlled to display effect images such as effect symbols on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
In the present embodiment, the sub integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 82 are separated into separate devices, but may be configured as a single device.

  The main routine will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S65 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S70 that is repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed within the remaining time after executing this main process. This is referred to as “residual processing”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. If the interrupt is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on. However, microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is usually when power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial settings (for example, writing a predetermined value to the predetermined area of the memory and setting a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol to each initial to the work area of the memory) Value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (S70).

  If a positive determination is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), an initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the initial random number value by 1 each time this process is executed. The initial random number value before this process is incremented by +1, but the random number value before this process is executed is the maximum. When the value is “3966”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 3967 integers from “0” to “3966” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that is incremented by 1 each time the process is executed, similar to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is "3966", the next process starts. Is returned to “0”, and 3967 integers from “0” to “3966” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. Note that the initial value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 250, the big hit determination random number is updated as “250” “251” “252”... “3966” “0” “1”.

When the big hit determination random number is updated once (3967 times), the initial random number value at that time is used as the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is +1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. Then, when the big hit determining random number makes one round again, the initial value random number at that time is changed to the initial value of the big hit determining random number. That is, this series of operations is repeated. In the above example, when the big hit determination random number reaches “249”, it is one round, so the next value after “249” is the value of the initial value random number. If the value of the initial random number is “87”, “249” “87” “88”... “3966” “0” “1”. Next to is a new initial random number value. In the normal probability state, the number of values determined to be big hits is 100, and the values are “758” to “777” “1314” to “1333” “1758” to “1777” “2758” to “2777” “ 3314 ”to“ 3333 ”, the number of values determined to be a big hit in the high probability state is 114, and the values are“ 758 ”to“ 780 ”“ 1314 ”to“ 1336 ”“ 1758 ”to“ 1780 ”“ 2758 ”. ”To“ 2780 ”,“ 3314 ”to“ 3335 ”.
The jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 100 integers from “0” to “99”. Each time this process is incremented by 1 and exceeds the maximum value, the initial value is “0”. Return to.

  The hit determination random number update process (S35) following S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers from “0” to “996”, and is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. Return to a certain “0”. The values to be won are 31 to 40 in the normal probability state and 31 to 996 in the high probability state. This winning determination random number update process is used for lottery of normal symbols, and other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are lottery of special symbols Used for.

  The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates 229 integers from “0” to “228”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and the initial value is “0”. Return to. In the normal probability state, the number of values that reach when the variable time reduction function is not activated is 21, and the values are “0” to “20”, and reach when the variable time reduction function is activated in the normal probability state. The number of values is 5, the values are “0” to “4”, the number of values that reach in the high probability state is 6, and the values are “0” to “5”.

  The variation pattern determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from “0” to “1020”, and is incremented by 1 for each process and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0".

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), confirmation of winning in the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12 and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed.
In this embodiment, when a game ball wins the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. are acquired. However, the number that can be reserved is limited to 4 at the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, respectively, and when the reserved memory is full, the game ball is stored in the first start port 11 or the second start port 11. (2) Even if a winning is made at the start port 12, only a prize ball is paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored on hold.

Subsequently, a special symbol control process (S55) is performed as a condition establishment determination means for determining whether or not a big hit. When the special symbol control process (S55) ends, each output process (S60) such as an image output process is subsequently executed.
In each output process (S60), as the game progresses, the main control device 80 controls the production symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, the big prize opening solenoid 14b, and the like. Each output process is executed. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation process (S50) that there is a winning game ball in each winning slot on the game board 1, the winning ball data is output to the payout control device 81 so as to pay out the gaming ball as the winning ball. In the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 83, an error signal is output to the production symbol control device 82 to notify that there is an error when the pachinko machine 50 is abnormal. Each process is executed.

  In the subsequent fraud monitoring process (S65), it is monitored whether or not fraud is performed on the normal winning award (the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, the fourth left winning port 34). It is a process to determine whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number. It is processing to do. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

  The above-described remaining process following this process is composed of the initial value random number update process (S70), but is exactly the same process as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute this processing from S10 to S65 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the jackpot processing, the difference in the display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial random number is not uniform when the interrupt process shown in FIG. 7 is executed once. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the big hit determination random number becomes extremely small. If the value of the initial random number (3967 from 0 to 3966) when the big hit determination random number is made one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/3967. The hit determination random number update process (S35) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The winning confirmation process in S50 is as shown in FIG. 8, and the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port 11 based on the detection signal of the first starting port switch 11a. Judgment is made (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this embodiment) It is determined whether the number is 4) (S105).

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), each random number is stored as the first reserved memory, the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110), and the process proceeds to S115. And migrate. In S110, a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the first hold memory is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83.

  If there are already four first reserved memories (S105: yes), the process does not store, and the process proceeds to S115 without increasing the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18.

  When it is determined that the game ball is not in the first start port 11 (S100: no), the process also proceeds to S115, and the game ball is input to the second start port 12 based on the detection signal of the second start port switch 12a. It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. If the determination is affirmative (S115: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second reserved memory is full (this embodiment) (S120).

  If the second reserved memory is not full (S120: no), each random number is stored as the second reserved memory, the number of lighting of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S125), Become. In S125, a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the second hold memory is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the second hold memory.

  If there are already four second hold memories (S120: yes), the second hold is not stored, and the present process is terminated (returned) without increasing the number of lighting of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Moreover, this process is complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 2nd starting port 12 (S115: no).

  In the special symbol control process shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the big hit flag (S150). If the determination in S150 is negative, the special symbol is not changing (S155: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S160: no), the process proceeds to S200 in FIG. 8 is determined as to whether or not there is a pending storage in S125 (S200).

  If there is this reserved memory (S200: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S205), and the process proceeds to S220. If there is no second reserved memory (S200: no), it is determined whether there is a first reserved memory (the above-mentioned reserved memory in S110) (S210). If there is the first reserved memory (S210: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S215), and the process proceeds to S220.

  In S220, the second hold memory (however, if the second hold exists, the second hold is given priority even if the first hold is older) is read (the hold memory is deleted), and the probability change flag is set. It is determined whether it is present (that is, 1). Here, the probability variation flag of 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S220: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S225). Here, the number of hit values is 114, which is 758 to 780, 1314-1336, 1758 to 1780, 2758 to 2780, and 3314 to 3335. That is, the hit probability is 1 / 34.79. If the determination is negative (S220: no), the read jackpot determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S230). Here, the number of hit values is 100, which are 758 to 777, 1314 to 1333, 1758 to 1777, 2758 to 2777, and 3314 to 3333. That is, the hit probability is 1 / 39.67. In this embodiment, the jackpot probability is displayed as an approximate number thereof (normally 1/40, high probability state (hereinafter also referred to as probability variation) is 1/35). And the ratio which becomes a high probability state after big hit is set as 100%.

  As described above, when the current gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is a high probability state, the jackpot probability is 1/35, and the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/40. Regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50, in the state where there is no gaming ball in the specific area sorting apparatus 91, one gaming ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 is This is higher than the probability (1/60) of entering the first entrance 106 that is the specific area. That is, in the pachinko machine 50, it is more difficult for one game ball to enter from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 and reach the first entrance 106 (specific area) than to make a big hit. It has a configuration.

Returning to FIG. Based on the determination in S225 or S230, it is determined whether or not the game is a big hit (S235). If the determination is affirmative (S235: yes), the winning symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S240). Note that there is only one type of winning symbol in this embodiment. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S245). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number. After the variation pattern determination process, a jackpot setting process is performed (S250). The jackpot game start command (high probability state, presence / absence of opening extension, etc.) for starting the jackpot game and information on the jackpot game (opening time for the jackpot) based on the jackpot symbol determined in S240 (only one type in this embodiment) , Opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. In the jackpot game of this embodiment, the final round is 10 rounds, and the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 14 is 28 seconds.
In the jackpot game of the present embodiment, the grand prize winning opening 14 is performed 10 rounds for a maximum of 28 seconds of opening operation. In the jackpot game, ten rounds in which a predetermined number of winnings are expected are entered. Therefore, in the jackpot game, 100 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball into the big prize opening 14 is 13, so that 100 × 13 1300 prize balls can be acquired.
In addition, the game state after the end of the big hit game of the first embodiment shifts to a probability change state and an open extension state (the probability change number of times is 100 times and the short time number of times is 100 times).
Here, the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory in the open extended state of the present embodiment is configured to execute 1.5-second opening twice. Further, the opening pattern of the ordinary electric accessory in the normal gaming state is configured to open once in 0.1 seconds.

  If it is determined in S235 that it is out, a variation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number (S255). When the variation pattern is set in this way, a loss setting process is performed (260). In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions or the number of times of probability change is positive, -1 is respectively set.

  Subsequent to S250 or S260, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, data indicating the probability variation big hit, reach failure (discovery but with reach display), or disabling without reach display and the variation time. A change start command (display control command) including the specified change pattern data is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S265), and the process proceeds to the special game process. Note that, by the processing of S265, the variation display of the production symbol is started on the screen of the production symbol display device 6, but the variation of the special symbol is also started by the main controller 80 almost simultaneously.

  If it is determined in S155 in FIG. 9 that the special symbol is changing (S155: yes), the process proceeds to S300 in FIG. 11 and whether or not the symbol change time (based on the change pattern in S245 or S255) has elapsed. Determine whether. In the case of a negative determination (S300: no), the process proceeds to the special game process as it is. In the case of an affirmative determination (S300: yes), a special game process is performed after a confirmed symbol display process (S305). In the fixed symbol display process, a command for displaying a fixed symbol (symbol fixed command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the fixed symbol. Let

  If it is determined in S160 in FIG. 9 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. 12, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended. In the case of a negative determination (S350: no), the specific area entry process 1 is performed. If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), the display of the confirmed symbol is terminated (S355), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a big hit (S360). If an affirmative determination is made (S360: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S365). If the probability variation flag is 1 (S365: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S370, and the process proceeds to S375. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S365: no), the process proceeds to S375. In S375, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If the time reduction flag is 1 (S375: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S380, and the process proceeds to S385. If the time reduction flag is not 1 (S375: no), the process proceeds to S385 as it is.

  In S385, the big hit flag is set by the condition device operation start processing. And it will be in the entrance waiting state to the 1st entrance 106 (specific area), and will transfer to the specific area entrance process 1 shown in FIG.

In S431 of FIG. 13, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the condition device has been activated. If the determination is negative (S431: no), the process returns as it is. If the determination is affirmative (S431: yes), the process proceeds to S432. In S432, the main controller 80 sets the first entrance 106 among the entrances of the third crew 100 to the specific area. Here, setting to a specific area means enabling it as a specific area. When the specific area setting process (S432) is not performed, the first entrance 106 is invalid as a specific area, and therefore, the accessory continuous action device starts to operate even when a game ball enters. Absent.
Thereafter, in S433, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to open the opening / closing member 93. Thereafter, in S434, the main controller 80 transmits a first designation command indicating that the game ball is waiting to enter the first entrance 106 (specific area) to the sub integrated controller 83. . In subsequent S435, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered by an entrance switch 94a provided at the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91. If a negative determination is made (S435: no), the process proceeds to S435 again. If the determination is affirmative (S435: yes), in S436, main controller 80 controls open / close member solenoid 93b to close open / close member 93. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S437.

  In S437, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first entrance 106 set in the specific area (S437). If the determination is affirmative (S437: yes), the accessory continuous operation device is operated in S438, and a big hit game start process is performed in S439. In the jackpot game start processing (S439), the jackpot game start command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (the jackpot opening time, the release pattern, the jackpot ending time, the number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. To do. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  In S437, when the main control device 80 determines that the game ball has not entered the first entrance 106 set in the specific area (S437: no), It is determined whether or not a game ball is detected by the exit switch 102a (S440). If the determination is negative (S440: no), the process proceeds to S437 again. If the determination is affirmative (S440: yes), in S441, main controller 80 controls open / close member solenoid 93b to open the open / close member. Subsequently, in S442, the main control device 80 again issues a second designation command to the sub integrated control device 83 to indicate that the game ball is waiting to enter the first entrance 106 (specific area). Send. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 (S443). If the determination is negative (S443: no), the process proceeds to S443 again. If the determination is affirmative (S443: yes), in S444, the main controller 80 controls the open / close member solenoid 93b to close the open / close member, and the process proceeds to S437 again.

Returning to FIG. If it is determined in S360 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win (S360: no), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S400: yes), the number of probability variations Whether or not is 0 is determined (S405). If the probability variation count is 0 (S405: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S410, and the process proceeds to S415. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S400: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S405: no), the processing proceeds to S415 as it is.
In S415, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If it is 1 (S415: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of time reductions is 0 (S420). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S420: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S425 and the process proceeds to S430. When the time reduction flag is not 1 (S415: no) or when the time reduction count is not 0 (S420: no), the process proceeds to S430 as it is.

In S430, the main control device 80 sends a state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not the current gaming state is definitely changing, whether or not the time is short, etc., to the sub integrated control device 83 after a special symbol determination time (600 ms). And the specific area entry process 1 is executed.
In the case of the present embodiment, the timing for transmitting the state designation command from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 in the special symbol control processing is after the special symbol determination time, but at the time of starting the special symbol change and power recovery It may be configured to transmit a state designation command even at times.

  In the special game process shown in FIG. 14, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the jackpot flag (S450). If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S450: no), this processing is terminated (returned) as it is. If the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S450: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S455). If the big prize opening 14 is not being opened (S455: no), it is determined whether the big prize opening 14 is closed during the interval between rounds (S460). If it is not during the interval (S460: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S465). If this is also a negative determination (S465: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the effect of starting the big hit game has elapsed (S470). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S470: yes), the big winning opening opening process (S475) is performed and this process is terminated. If the time required to produce the big hit game has not elapsed (S470: no), the special game process is terminated.

  If it is determined in S455 that the big prize opening 14 is open, the process proceeds to S500 in FIG. 15 to determine whether or not ten big prize openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When 10 winning prizes are won (S500: yes), the process proceeds to S510, and the closing prize closing process is performed. Then, a big hit interval process (S515) is performed, and the special game process is terminated. If ten winning prize openings 14 have not been won (S500: no), the process proceeds to S505, where it is determined whether or not the opening time of the big winning opening 14 has ended. In this embodiment, the jackpot is only the jackpot of 10 rounds, and the maximum opening time of each round in 10 rounds is set to 28 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S505: yes), the process merges with S510, and when it is not over (S505: no), the special game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S460 in FIG. 14 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S520 in FIG. 15 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. When the interval time has elapsed (S520: yes), it is determined whether or not the last round is the last winning opening 14 opened (S525). If it is the final round (S525: yes), the big hit end effect process (S530) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S525: no), the process of opening the special winning opening 14 is performed again (S535), and the special game process is terminated. When it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S520: no), the special game process is terminated as it is. In the process of opening / closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  If it is determined in S465 in FIG. 14 that the big hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S550 in FIG. 16 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. If the determination is negative (S550: no), the process returns as it is. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S550: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S555), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S560). Then, the probability variation count and the time reduction count are set to 100 (S565), the probability variation / time reduction flag is set to 1 (S570), and in the subsequent S575, a process of transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed. A state designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S580), and the special game process is terminated. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the special symbol winning probability is improved in this embodiment. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set.

Next, with reference to FIG. 17, an effect display for instructing the player to launch a game ball is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 between the start of the operation of the condition device and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device. A flowchart of the firing instruction execution process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described.
First, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the first designated command transmitted by the first designated command transmission process (S434) shown in FIG. 13 has been received (S600). If the determination is affirmative (S600: yes), in S605, the sub-integrated control device 83 performs a first firing instruction display process. If the determination is negative (S600: no), it is determined whether or not the command transmitted from the second designated command transmission process (S442) shown in FIG. 13 has been received (S610). If the determination is affirmative (S610: yes), the second firing instruction display process (S615) is executed. In the case of a negative determination (S610: no), the process ends as it is.

Here, the first firing instruction display process (S605) and the second firing instruction display process (S615) will be described. In the first firing instruction display process (S605), the pachinko machine 50 is in a waiting state for a game ball entering a specific area, and the player operates the launch handle 64 to start the execution of the big hit game. The game process is performed by launching a game ball and executing an effect display (FIG. 19D and FIG. 20D) for instructing the specific area sorting apparatus 91 to enter the game ball.
In the second launch instruction display process (S615), since the game ball could not be entered into the first entrance 104, which is the specific area, the player operates the launch handle 64 again to display the game ball. An effect display (FIGS. 20 (g) and 20 (h)) is executed to instruct the game ball to enter the first entrance 106 which is a specific area.

Next, the big hit game effect execution process executed by the sub integrated control device 83 after the accessory continuous operation device starts operating will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the main control device 80 has received the jackpot game start command transmitted in S438 of FIG. 13 (S650). When the jackpot game start command is received (S650: yes), the jackpot game effect start process (S655) is executed, and the process ends. If the big hit game start command has not been received (S650: no), the determination in S650 is performed again.

  Next, a specific example of the effect will be described while illustrating an effect screen displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the game on the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment.

FIG. 19 shows an example of an effect mode in the case where the special symbol is displayed with a symbol indicating a big hit.
As shown in FIG. 19A, an effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is displayed in the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112, and the right effect symbol 113 are changing. In the lower right corner of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 114 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19B, the left effect symbol 111 and the right effect symbol 113 stop at “7”, and the middle effect symbol 112 is changing.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112, and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at “7”, resulting in a big hit. This is notified to the player.

Next, an example of the effect display by the first firing instruction display process (S605) of FIG. 17 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 19D, the display example 116 is displayed near the lower right corner of the effect symbol display device 6. The display indicated by reference numeral 115 is displayed above the display example 116. In the display indicated by reference numeral 115, “Right-handed and let the ball enter the sorting apparatus!” Is displayed. The effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. 19D instructs the player to fire the game ball and cause the game ball to enter the specific area sorting device 91. . In the present embodiment, not only an effect display for instructing the player to launch a game ball is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, but also an LED provided on the game board 1 is used during the effect display. Thus, the flow path of the game ball to the specific area sorting device 91 may be configured to emit light so as to prompt the game ball to enter.

  Next, the effect display shown in FIG. 19D displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is shifted to the effect display shown in FIG. In the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “Start a specific area entry chance!” Is displayed. On the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112 and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at "7".

  Then, when a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a provided at the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91, the display shifts from the effect display shown in FIG. 19 (e) to the effect display shown in FIG. 19 (f). In the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. 19 (f), “A game ball has entered the device. Can it be made to enter a specific area !?” is displayed. On the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112 and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at "7".

  When the player can launch the game ball and enter the game ball into the first entrance 106 provided in the third croon 100, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. Then, the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the jackpot game start command transmitted from the main controller 80 displays the jackpot game effect display shown in FIG. 19G on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. After that, the effect display of FIG. 19 (g) shifts to the effect display of FIG. 19 (h). As shown in FIG. 19 (h), “Big hit game start! In addition, “1R” is displayed on the right side of the effect character 114. This informs the player that it is currently the first round.

FIG. 20 shows an example of the effect mode when the special symbol is displayed with the symbol indicating the big hit.
As shown in FIG. 20 (a), an effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is displayed at the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112, and the right effect symbol 113 are changing. On the lower right side of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 114 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 20B, the left effect symbol 111 and the right effect symbol 113 stop at “7”, and the middle effect symbol 112 is changing.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (c), on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112, and the right effect symbol 113 stop at "7", which is a big hit. This is notified to the player.

Next, an example of effect display by the second firing instruction display process (S615) of FIG. 17 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 20 (d), the display example 116 is displayed near the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The display indicated by reference numeral 115 is displayed above the display example 116. In the display indicated by reference numeral 115, “Right-handed and let the ball enter the sorting apparatus!” Is displayed. The player displays a game ball on the first entrance 106, which is a specific area, by causing the player to fire a game ball by the effect display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. Instructing to enter.

  Next, the effect display shown in FIG. 20 (e) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “Start a specific area entry chance!” Is displayed. On the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112 and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at "7".

  And if a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a provided in the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution apparatus 91, it will transfer from the effect display shown in FIG.20 (e) to the effect display shown in FIG.20 (f). At the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. 20 (f), “A game ball has entered the device. Can it be made to enter a specific area !?” is displayed. On the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112 and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at "7".

  Then, the player cannot fire the game ball to enter the first entrance 106 provided in the third crew 100, and is discharged from the outlet 102 of the specific area sorting device 91. When the exit switch 102a is detected, the process proceeds to FIG. As shown in FIG. 20 (g), “failure ·· cannot enter the specific area” is displayed above the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. On the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112 and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at "7".

  Next, a transition is made from the effect display shown in FIG. 20 (g) to the effect display shown in FIG. 20 (h), and the display indicated by the display example 116 and the reference numeral 115 is again displayed at the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The The display indicated by reference numeral 115 is different from the content shown in FIG. 20D, and is changed to “Right-turn once again to enter the sorting apparatus!”. With the effect display, the player is instructed to fire the game ball again.

According to the above-described ball game machine, even if the game ball enters the specific area sorting device 91 in which the first entrance 106 (specific area) of the third crew 100 is arranged downstream, Since the probability that the game ball 3 is discharged into the game area 3 is higher than the probability that the game ball entered into the first entrance 106 by the 96, the second croon 98, and the third croon 100, the specific area It becomes difficult for the game ball that has entered the sorting device 91 to reach the first entrance 106 (specific area), and the player enters the first entrance 106 (specific area). You can give a strong feeling to the behavior of the game ball, such as.
Furthermore, in the conventional ball game machine in which a game ball cannot be entered into the first entrance 106 (specific area) even though the special symbol control process shown in FIG. Since there is no configuration, it is possible to improve the game preference.

  Further, according to the above-described bullet ball game machine, even if the game ball can finally reach the third cron 100 provided with the first entrance 106, the second sphere provided in the third cron 100 is used. Since the ball may enter the fifth ball hole 110 (discharge port) from the ball hole 107 and be discharged downstream of the game area 3, the player may take the first ball hole 106 in another step. It is possible to create a feeling of regret that the player has entered the (specific area) by the behavior of the game ball.

  In addition, since the movable accessory 92 is provided immediately above the opening / closing member 93, the opening / closing member 93 not only prevents the game ball from entering the specific area sorting apparatus 91, but also the movable accessory 92. This also makes it difficult for the game ball to reach the first entrance 106 (specific area), and makes the player feel more strongly about the behavior of the game ball.

  In addition, the game within the specific area distribution device 91 is more than the probability of being determined to be a big hit by the special symbol control process shown in FIG. 9 (in this embodiment, 1/40 in the normal state and 1/35 in the probability variation state). In a state where no ball is present, one game ball that has entered the specific area sorting apparatus 91 from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 enters the first entrance 106 (specific area). Since it has a configuration that is unlikely to be a conventional ball game machine with a lower probability, it will naturally be a highly interesting ball game machine.

  Further, when the game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94 a provided at the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91, the opening / closing member 93 prohibits the game ball from entering the specific area sorting device 91. Since there is only one game ball in the specific area sorting apparatus 91, it becomes more difficult to make the game ball reach the first entrance 106 (specific area). I have a strong feeling for one game ball.

  In the first embodiment, when a game ball enters a single first entrance 106 (specific area) provided in the third Kroon 100, there is only one type of jackpot symbol that is confirmed and displayed. Although the description has been given of the configuration in which the jackpot game including the contents of the jackpot game is executed, the following configuration may be used as an example of a modification of the configuration of the first embodiment.

  First, as an example of a modification of the configuration of the first embodiment, a first modification of the first embodiment in which all the entrances are specified areas without using the entrances of the third cruiser 100 as discharge ports will be described.

  A first modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. In addition, since there are many common points with Example 1, a different point is demonstrated mainly.

  FIG. 21 illustrates the third cruon 100 provided in the specific area sorting apparatus 91 according to the first modification of the first embodiment. The entrance of the third Kroon 100 of the modified example is not a discharge outlet for discharging to the game area 3, and the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 are all specified areas. Therefore, the probability that the game ball that has reached the third Kroon 100 enters the specific area is a 5% 100% probability.

  The first and second croons 96 and 98 provided in the specific area distribution device 91 according to the first modification of the first embodiment are the same as the first and second croons 96 and 96 provided in the specific area distribution device 91 according to the first embodiment. Since it is the same as the croon 98, the probability (1/3) that the game ball entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91 is distributed to the first guide port 103 and the game ball that has reached the second croon 98 are The probability (1/4) assigned to the second guide port 105 is the same. That is, in the state where the game ball does not exist in the specific area distribution device 91 according to the first modification of the first embodiment, one game ball entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91 is the third cron 100. The probability of entering the specific area (from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 100) is 1/12 of 1/3 × 1/4.

Next, the difference between the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine according to the first modification of the first embodiment and the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The main controller 80 according to the first modification of the first embodiment includes a first entrance switch 106 a that detects a game ball that has entered the first entrance 106, and a game ball that has entered the second entrance 107. The second entrance switch 107a for detecting the game ball, the third entrance switch 108a for detecting the game ball entering the third entrance 108, and the second entrance detecting the game ball entering the fourth entrance 109. A detection signal of the fifth entrance switch 110a for detecting a game ball entering the 4 entrance switch 109a and the 5th entrance 110 is input.

In the first embodiment, the jackpot probability when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability state is 1/35, and the jackpot probability in the normal gaming state is 1/40, so the jackpot probability in the first embodiment is Regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50, the probability that a game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 enters the first entrance 106 of the third cruiser 100 is higher (1/60). Was configured.
In the first modification of the first embodiment, as described above, since the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 provided in the third croon 100 are all in the specific area, the specific is more than the big hit probability. The probability that a game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the area sorting device 91 enters the entrance that is a specific area of the third cruiser 100 is increased.

  Therefore, the hit probability of the pachinko machine 50 according to the first modification of the first embodiment is determined as the number of the game balls that have entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 to enter the entrance that is the specific area of the third croon 100. In order to make it higher than the probability, the jackpot probability is made higher than the probability of entering the ball, or one of the first cron 96 of the specific area sorting device 91 of the pachinko machine 50 of the first modification of the first embodiment is used. One guide port 103 and five discharge ports 104 are provided, and the second cruiser 98 includes one second guide port 105 and nine discharge ports 104 (not shown). It is conceivable that the probability that a game ball entered from 94 enters the entrance (specific area) of the third Kroon 100 is 1/60 of 1/6 × 1/10.

  Next, as an example of a modification of the configuration of the first embodiment, when a game ball enters the first entrance 106 (specific area) provided in the third cruiser 100, a big hit game is executed. A modified example 2 of the first embodiment having a configuration in which the contents of the jackpot game executed for each of the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and displayed will be described.

  A second modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, since there are many common points with Example 1, a different point is demonstrated mainly.

  A difference between the main routine of the second modification of the first embodiment and the main routine of the first embodiment is a jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30). The jackpot symbol determination random number update process of the first modification of the first embodiment is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 54 integers “1” to “54”.

  The pachinko machine 50 according to the second modified example has a configuration in which the contents of the jackpot game executed for each jackpot symbol that has been confirmed and displayed are different. Therefore, unlike the first embodiment, there are 18 types of jackpot symbols of the first special symbol, the second special bonus symbol. There are 18 kinds of symbol jackpot symbols (FIGS. 23 and 24). Therefore, unlike the first embodiment, the jackpot game corresponding to a plurality of types of jackpot symbols is executed. In the jackpot setting process of the second modification, a jackpot game start command (high probability state, presence / absence of opening extension, etc.) for starting a jackpot game corresponding to a plurality of types of jackpot games and information on the jackpot game (opening of jackpot game) Time, release pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.

In the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the probability changing state / open extended state is entered, and the probability changing state / open extended state is ended when the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 100. However, in the pachinko machine 50 according to the second modified example of the first embodiment, depending on the stop pattern of the special symbol, when the game state after the big hit game is shifted to the probabilistic state / open extended state, or the extended extended state after the big hit game ends When the number of special symbol fluctuations reaches 100, the open extension state may end (see FIG. 23).
Therefore, there is a difference between the special game process of the second modification of the first embodiment and the special game process of the first embodiment.

Specifically, the main control device 80 of the second modification of the first embodiment determines whether or not the jackpot end effect time has elapsed if it is determined in S465 in FIG. To do. In the case of a negative determination, the processing ends as it is (return). When the big hit end effect time has elapsed, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped, and the operation of the condition device is stopped. Then, it is determined whether or not the next game state acquired in the jackpot setting process (S250) of FIG. When shifting only to time reduction, the time reduction count is set to 100, the time reduction flag is set to 1, processing for transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub-integrated control device 83 is performed, and a status designation command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 Then, the special game process ends. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set.
In addition, when the next game state acquired in the jackpot setting process (S250) in FIG. 10 is shifted to the probability change and time reduction state, the probability change time / time reduction number is set to 100 and the probability change / time reduction flag is set to 1. Then, a process of transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 is performed, a state designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83, and the special game process is ended. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set.

  Here, the relationship between the special symbol jackpot design random number and the display symbol of the modified example 2 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24. FIG.

First, FIG. 23 (a) shows the relationship between the jackpot symbol determining random number of the first special symbol and the display symbol. When the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 1 to 27, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of the nine types of symbols is set. For example, if the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is 1 to 3, the lower right vertical bar segment is excluded from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device, and a decimal point is added. A symbol is set. When the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 16 to 18, the symbol is set by removing the horizontal bar below the lower mouth portion from the symbol used as “6” in the 7-segment display device.
Further, when the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 28 to 54, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of nine types of symbols different from the symbols is set. For example, if the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the first special symbol is 28-30, the right upper vertical bar segment is excluded from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device, and the decimal point is added. Is set. The special symbol set when the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 52 to 54 is a symbol obtained by adding a decimal point to the symbol used as “9” in the 7-segment display device, excluding the upper left vertical bar segment. Is set.

  In addition to the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 23 (a), there is a lost symbol (not shown), which lights up seven segments in an “H” shape.

  FIG. 23B shows the name of the stop symbol displayed in the first special symbol, the name of the jackpot, the contents of the jackpot game, and the game state after the jackpot ends. For example, if the symbol 10 to 13 is displayed, the jackpot game A with the name of the jackpot will be a big hit for 15 rounds, and the winning prize opening 14 will be opened for a maximum of 28 seconds at all releases, and the gaming state after the jackpot will change reliably. State and open extended state. This probability change state and the open extension state continue until the special symbol changes 100 times. In addition, when the symbols 14 to 18 are displayed, the jackpot game B with the name of the jackpot is a big round of four rounds, and the winning prize opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all releases, and the gaming state after the jackpot game ends. Are in a probable change state and an open extension state. This probability change state and the open extension state continue until the special symbol changes 100 times. The jackpot game C with the name of jackpot will be a 10-round jackpot when symbols 5 to 9 are displayed, and the winning prize opening 14 will be opened for a maximum of 28 seconds at all releases, and the gaming state after the jackpot will be an extended extended state. It becomes. This open extended state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times. The jackpot game D in the jackpot name will be a big round of four rounds when the symbols 1 to 4 are displayed, and the winning prize opening 14 will be opened for a maximum of 28 seconds at all releases, and the gaming state after the jackpot game ends will be It becomes an open extension state. This open extended state continues until the special symbol changes 100 times.

Next, FIG. 24A shows the relationship between the jackpot symbol determining random number of the second special symbol and the display symbol. When the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 1 to 27, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of the nine types of symbols is set. For example, when the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 1 to 3, a symbol is set by excluding the lower right vertical bar segment from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device. When the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol is 16 to 18, the symbol obtained by removing the left vertical bar and the lower horizontal bar in the lower mouth portion from the symbol used as “6” in the 7-segment display device. Is set.
When the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 28 to 54, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of nine types of symbols different from the symbols described above is set. For example, when the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 28-30, a symbol obtained by removing the upper right vertical bar segment from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device is set. In addition, the special symbol set when the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol is 52 to 54 is set by removing the upper left vertical bar segment from the symbol used as “9” in the 7-segment display device. .

  In addition to the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 24 (a), there is a lost symbol (not shown), which lights up seven segments in an “H” shape.

  FIG. 24B shows the name of the stop symbol displayed in the second special symbol, the name of the jackpot, the contents of the jackpot game, and the game state after the jackpot ends. For example, the jackpot game A with the name of jackpot will be a big hit of 15 rounds when symbols 19 to 27 are displayed, and the winning prize opening 14 will be opened for a maximum of 28 seconds at all releases, and the gaming state after the jackpot will change reliably. State and open extended state. This probability change state and the open extension state continue until the special symbol changes 100 times. The jackpot game E with the name of jackpot will be a big hit of 10 rounds when symbols 28 to 36 are displayed, and the winning prize opening 14 will be opened for a maximum of 28 seconds in all releases, and the gaming state after the jackpot game ends. Are in a probable change state and an open extension state. This probability change state and the open extension state continue until the special symbol changes 100 times.

The number of winning balls that can be obtained from the above jackpot game A to jackpot game E will be described.
First, the jackpot game A is executed 15 rounds, with the grand prize winning opening 14 being opened for a maximum of 28 seconds. In the big hit game A, 15 rounds in which a predetermined number of winnings are expected are played. Therefore, in the big hit game A, 150 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball in the big prize opening 14 is 13, so that 150 × Thirteen 1950 prize balls can be acquired.
In addition, the big hit game B and the big hit game D are executed four rounds, with the big winning opening 14 being one round of the opening operation for a maximum of 28 seconds. In both big hit games, four rounds in which a predetermined number of winnings are expected are played. Therefore, in both jackpot games, 40 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball in the big prize opening 14 is 13, so that 40 * 13 520 prize balls can be acquired.
The jackpot game C and the jackpot game E are executed 10 rounds with the grand prize winning opening 14 being opened for a maximum of 28 seconds. In both jackpot games, ten rounds in which a predetermined number of winnings are expected are played. Therefore, in both big hit games, 100 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball in the big prize opening 14 is 13, so that 100 × 13 1300 prize balls can be acquired.

  According to the above-described bullet ball game machine of the second modification of the first embodiment, the contents of the big hit game and the game state after the big hit are changed according to the stop symbol displayed by the special symbol, so it is somehow specified. By having the desire to enter the area early, you will have a stronger feeling for the behavior of the game ball.

(Pattern D shown in FIGS. 27B and 28B).

A difference between the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The main controller 80 according to the third modification of the first embodiment includes a first entrance switch 106 a that detects a game ball that has entered the first entrance 106, and a game ball that has entered the second entrance 107. The second entrance switch 107a for detecting the game ball, the third entrance switch 108a for detecting the game ball entering the third entrance 108, and the second entrance detecting the game ball entering the fourth entrance 109. A detection signal from the 4-th entrance switch 109a is input.
It should be noted that the entrance switch described above is activated when the condition device starts operating when assigned to a specific area in accordance with the patterns shown in FIGS. 27 (b) and 28 (b). Since it is effective as a ball entrance switch, it is possible to detect a game ball. However, in the case of an entrance not assigned as a specific area, it is not effective as an entrance switch. Note that the game balls that have entered the entrance not assigned as the specific area pass through the discharge path 101 and are discharged from the exit 102 of the specific area distribution device 91 to the downstream of the game area 3. Yes.

  A difference between the main routine of the third modification of the first embodiment and the main routine of the first embodiment is a jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30). The jackpot symbol determination random number update process of the third modification of the first embodiment is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 54 integers “1” to “54”.

In the first embodiment, when the current gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is a high probability state, the big hit probability is 1/35, and the normal hit probability is 1/40, so the big hit probability in the first embodiment is Regardless of the game state of the pachinko machine 50, the probability that the game ball entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 enters the first entrance 106 of the third cruiser 100 (1/60). It was a high configuration.
In the third modification of the first embodiment, the pattern D is selected based on the special symbol stop symbol, and the first entrance 106 to the fourth entrance 109 are assigned to the specific area, and the fifth entrance 110 is assigned to the exit. When it is played (see FIG. 25 (d)), the game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 enters the entrance that is the specific area of the third cruiser 100, rather than the jackpot probability described above. Probability (probability 1/15 of 1/3 × 1/4 × 4/5) becomes high.

  Therefore, the hit probability of the pachinko machine 50 according to the third modification of the first embodiment is determined as the number of game balls that have entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 and entered the entrance that is the specific area of the third croon 100. In order to make it higher than the probability, the jackpot probability is set to be higher than the probability of entering the ball, or one of the first cruisers of the specific area sorting device 91 of the pachinko machine 50 of the third modification of the first embodiment is used. One guide port 103 and a plurality of discharge ports 104 are provided, and one second guide port 105 of the second crew 98 and more discharge ports 104 than the first crew 96 are provided (not shown), and a specific region A configuration is conceivable in which the probability that a game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the sorting device 91 enters the entrance (specific area) of the third cruiser 100 is low.

  Next, unlike the main control device 80 of the first embodiment, the main control device 80 of the third modification of the first embodiment is when the display time of the fixed symbol has not ended in S350 of FIG. 12 (S350: no) After performing the conditional device operation start process (S385) of FIG. 12, or after performing the state designation command transmission process (S430), the process proceeds to the specific area entry process 2. The specific area entry process 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main control device 80 of the third modification of the first embodiment determines whether or not the condition device has been operated in S700 of FIG. In the case of negative determination (S700: no), the process returns as it is. If the determination is affirmative (S700: yes), the process proceeds to S701. In S701, the main controller 80 performs the specific area setting process 2.

  In the specific area setting process 2 (S701), according to the pattern for assigning the entrance determined for each jackpot symbol that is confirmed and displayed to the specific area (see FIG. 27 and FIG. 28), The arranged entrance is assigned to the specific area, and the entrance assigned to the specific area is set as the specific area. Here, setting to a specific area means enabling it as a specific area. When the process by the specific area setting process 2 (S701) is not performed, since any of the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 is invalid as the specific area, Even if the ball enters, the accessory continuous operation device does not start to operate.

  In step S <b> 702, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93 b to open the opening / closing member 93. Thereafter, in S703, the main control device 80 transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 a first designation command indicating that the game ball is waiting to enter the specific area. In subsequent S704, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered by an entrance switch 94a provided at the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91. If the determination is negative (S704: no), the process proceeds to S704 again. If the determination is affirmative (S704: yes), in S705, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to close the opening / closing member 93.

  In subsequent S706, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the entrance that has been assigned to the specific area in S701. If the determination is affirmative (S706: yes), the accessory continuous operation device is operated in S707, and a big hit game start process is performed in S708. In the jackpot game start processing (S708), the jackpot game start command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (the jackpot opening time, release pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. To do. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  In S706, if the main control device 80 determines that the game ball has not entered the specific area (S706: no), whether or not the game ball has been detected by the exit switch 102a of the specific area distribution device 91 is determined. Is determined (S709). If the determination is negative (S709: no), the process proceeds to S706 again. If the determination is affirmative (S709: yes), in S710, main controller 80 controls open / close member solenoid 93b to open the open / close member. Subsequently, in S711, the main control device 80 transmits a second designation command indicating that the game ball is waiting to enter the specific area to the sub integrated control device 83 again. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 (S712). If the determination is negative (S712: no), the process proceeds to S712 again. If the determination is affirmative (S712: yes), in S713, the main controller 80 causes the main controller 80 to control the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to close the opening / closing member, and then proceeds to S706 again.

  Next, a specific example of the effect will be described while illustrating the effect display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the game in the pachinko machine 50 of the third modification of the first embodiment.

FIG. 30 shows an example of an effect mode in the case where the special symbol is displayed with a symbol indicating a big hit.
As shown in FIG. 30 (a), an effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is displayed in the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112, and the right effect symbol 113 are changing. In the lower right corner of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 114 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 30B, the left effect symbol 111 and the right effect symbol 113 stop at “7”, and the middle effect symbol 112 is changing, so that the reach is being performed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 30 (c), on the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112 and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at “7”, and it is a big hit. Informing the player.

Next, an example of the effect display by the first firing instruction display process (S605) of FIG. 17 will be described with reference to FIG.
In S705 of FIG. 29, when the main designation device 80 receives the first designation command indicating that it is in the waiting state for entering the specific area from the main controller 80, the display shifts to the effect display shown in FIG. . As shown in FIG. 30 (d), the display example 116 is displayed near the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The display indicated by reference numeral 115 is displayed above the display example 116. In the display indicated by reference numeral 102, “Right-handed and let the ball enter the sorting apparatus!” Is displayed. By the effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. 30D, the player is instructed to fire the game ball and enter the game ball into the entrance opening set in the specific area. doing.

  Thereafter, the effect display shown in FIG. 30 (e) is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. The effect display shown in FIG. 30 (e) is a game in which one of the patterns A to D shown in FIG. 27 (b) or FIG. It is to show to the person. In the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a circular display example 117 simulating the third cron 100 is displayed. Display example 117 is divided into five fan-shaped regions having a central angle of 72 °. Then, a circle arranged in the lower right fan-shaped area is arranged in the first entrance 106, and a circle arranged in the lower left fan-like area is arranged in the second entrance 107 in the upper left fan-shaped area. A circle arranged at the third entrance 108 and a circle arranged at the upper right fan-shaped area at the fourth entrance 109 at a fan-shaped area located above the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 Corresponds to the fifth entrance 110. The display example 117 at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 notifies the player that the pattern D has been set by the jackpot symbol determined and displayed this time (FIGS. 25 (d) and 27 (b). FIG. 28 (b)).

  Next, the effect display shown in FIG. 30 (f) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “Start a specific area entry chance!” Is displayed. On the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, all of the left effect symbol 111, the middle effect symbol 112 and the right effect symbol 113 are stopped at "7". In addition, in the third modification of the first embodiment, when a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a of the specific area sorting device 91 after the operation of the condition device, as in the first embodiment, FIG. 30 (f). Although it is the structure which progresses from the effect display shown in FIG. 19 to the effect display shown in FIG.19 (f), it is abbreviate | omitting in this figure.

  Then, the player fires a game ball, and throws the game ball into one of the entrances (specific areas) from the first entrance 106 provided in the third cruiser 100 to the fourth entrance 109. When the ball can be entered, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. Then, the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the jackpot game start command transmitted from the main controller 80 displays the jackpot game effect display shown in FIG. 30G on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the game The player is informed that he has entered the specific area. Next, the display shifts to the effect display shown in FIG. 30 (h). As shown in FIG. 30 (h), the top of the effect symbol display device 6 displays "Big hit game start!" On the other side, “1R” is displayed. This informs the player that it is currently the first round.

  According to the above-described bullet ball game machine of the third modification of the first embodiment, which of the entrances of the third cruiser 100 is assigned to the specific area is changed depending on the stop design of the special design. , I have a feeling that I want to get into a specific area, and have a strong feeling for the behavior of the game ball. Furthermore, if the number of entrances assigned to a specific area is large, the player will be in an advantageous state, and thus will have a desire to play a game in an advantageous state.

  In the first embodiment, when a game ball enters the first entrance 106 (specific area) provided in the third cruiser 100, a predetermined jackpot game is executed regardless of the jackpot symbol that is confirmed and displayed. As described above, as an example in which the configuration of the first embodiment is modified, when a game ball enters a specific area, the configuration in which a predetermined jackpot game is executed is the same regardless of the jackpot symbol that is confirmed and displayed. However, the structure of the modification 4 of Example 1 which changes the entrance rate to the entrance (specific area) of the 3rd crew 100 according to the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is demonstrated.

  A fourth modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. In addition, since there is a common point with the modification 1 of Example 1 and Example 1, a different point is demonstrated mainly.

In the first embodiment, regardless of whether the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a big hit is a normal gaming state, a probability variation state, or an open extension state, it enters from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91. The probability that the played game ball enters the first entrance 106 (specific area) of the third cruiser 100 is 1/60.
The big hit probability in the normal gaming state is 1/40, and the big hit probability in the probabilistic state is 1/35, and the game ball entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 is the first. The probability of entering the entrance 106 (specific area) is lower.

  In the fourth modification of the first embodiment, unlike the configuration of the first embodiment, when it is determined that a big hit and all the entrances of the third cruiser 100 are assigned to a specific area (FIG. 21), the big hit is determined. Of the entrances of the third cruiser 100, only the first entrance 106 is assigned to the specific area, and the remaining 2nd entrance 107 to the fifth entrance 110 are assigned to the exit (FIG. 25). (A)).

  When it is determined that a big hit and all the entrances of the third cruiser 100 are assigned to a specific area (FIG. 21), only the first entrance 106 of the entrances of the third cruiser 100 determined as a big hit is determined. Is assigned to a specific area, and the remaining second entrance 107 to fifth entrance 110 are assigned to discharge outlets (FIG. 25 (a)), the entrance is made from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91. There is a difference in the probability that the game ball that has been struck enters the entrance slot assigned to the specific area of the third cruiser 100.

Specifically, only the first entrance 106 is assigned to the specific area among the entrances of the third Kroon 100 as determined as a big hit, and the remaining 2nd entrance 107 to the fifth entrance 110 are assigned. Is assigned to the discharge port (FIG. 25A), the game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 enters the first entrance 106 (specific area) of the third cruiser 100. Similar to the first embodiment, the probability of performing is 1/60.
Further, when it is determined that the game is a big hit and all the entrances of the third cruiser 100 are assigned to the specific area (FIG. 21), the game balls entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91 are The probability of entering any one (specific area) from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 is 1/12 of 1/3 × 1/4.
Therefore, when it is determined that the game is a big hit and all the entrances of the third cruiser 100 are assigned to the specific area (FIG. 21), the game balls that have entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91 enter the specific area. The probability is higher than the big hit probability (usually 1/40, probability variation state 1/35).

In the first embodiment, regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a big hit, only the first entrance 106 of the entrance of the third cruiser 100 is a specific area, and other entrances Was an outlet.
However, in the fourth modification of the first embodiment, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when determined to be a big hit is the normal gaming state, the first landing among the entrances of the third cruiser 100 Only the mouth 106 is assigned to the specific area, and the remaining second entrance 107 to the fifth entrance 110 are assigned to the outlet (FIG. 25A).
In addition, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when determined to be a big hit is in a probabilistic state, all the entrances of the third crew 100 are assigned to the specific area (FIG. 21).

  When the display time of the fixed symbol has not ended in S350 in FIG. 12 (S350: no), the main control device 80 of the present modification 4 performs the conditional device operation start process (S385) in FIG. After performing the state designation command transmission process (S430), unlike the first embodiment, the process proceeds to the specific area entry process 3. The specific area entering process 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main control device 80 of the fourth modification of the first embodiment determines whether or not the condition device has been operated in S750 of FIG. If the determination is negative (S750: no), the process returns as it is. If the determination is affirmative (S750: yes), the process proceeds to S755. In S755, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when determined to be a big hit is a normal gaming state. If the determination is negative (S755: no), the process proceeds to S760. If the determination is affirmative (S755: yes), the process proceeds to S765.

In S760, the main controller 80 assigns only the first entrance 106 to the specific area among the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 of the third cruiser 100, and sets the specific area.
In S765, the main controller 80 assigns all the entrances from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 of the third crew 100 to the specific area and sets the specific area. After the process of S760 or S765, the process proceeds to S770.
Here, setting to a specific area means enabling it as a specific area. If the game state specific area setting process 1 (S760) and the game state specific area setting process 2 (S765) are not performed, any of the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 becomes invalid. Therefore, even if a game ball enters, the accessory continuous operation device does not start to operate.

  In S770, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to open the opening / closing member 93. Thereafter, in S775, the main controller 80 transmits a first designation command indicating that the game ball is waiting to enter the specific area to the sub integrated controller 83. In subsequent S780, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered by an entrance switch 94a provided at the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91. If the determination is negative (S780: no), the process proceeds to S780 again. If the determination is affirmative (S780: yes), in S785, main controller 80 controls open / close member solenoid 93b to close open / close member 93.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the entrance slot assigned to the specific area in S760 or S765 (S790). If the determination is affirmative (S790: yes), the accessory continuous operation device is operated in S795, and a big hit game start process is performed in S800. In the jackpot game start process (S800), the jackpot game start command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (the jackpot opening time, the release pattern, the jackpot ending time, the number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. To do. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  In S790, if the main control device 80 determines that the game ball has not entered the specific area (S790: no), whether or not the game ball is detected by the exit switch 102a of the specific area distribution device 91 is determined. Is determined (S805). If the determination is negative (S805: no), the process proceeds to S790 again. If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), in S810, main controller 80 controls open / close member solenoid 93b to open the open / close member. Subsequently, in S815, the main control device 80 transmits a second designation command indicating that the game ball is waiting to enter the specific area to the sub integrated control device 83 again. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 (S820). If the determination is negative (S820: no), the process proceeds to S820 again. If the determination is affirmative (S820: yes), in S825, the main control device 80 controls the open / close member solenoid 93b to close the open / close member, and the process proceeds to S790 again.

In the ball and ball game machine according to the fourth modification of the first embodiment described above, a specific one of the entrances of the third cruiser 100 is specified depending on whether the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is the normal game state or the probability change state. Depending on the number of entrances assigned to the area, it is possible to have a superior difference such as a state where it is easy to enter the specific area and a state where it is difficult to enter the specific area, It becomes possible to provide.
Furthermore, with the above-described configuration, in a state where there are a large number of entrances assigned to the specific area (FIG. 21), it will have a feeling of wanting to enter the specific area as soon as possible, and the behavior of the game ball will be further improved. I have a strong feeling for it.

  In the fourth modification, the entrance assigned to the specific area among the entrances of the third cruiser 100 is set as the specific area according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined that the big hit. However, it is not limited to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50, for example, a lottery different from the determination of success / failure, the elapsed time since the start of the condition device, the first shown in FIG. Based on the number of commands transmitted in the 1-command transmission process (S721) and the second command transmission process (S735), the entrance to be assigned to the specific area among the entrances of the third cruiser 100 is set in the specific area. It is good also as a structure. In addition, the probability of determining a big hit by the special symbol control process (S55 in FIG. 7) does not always change, and only the entrance rate to the specific area may be changed. For example, after the jackpot game ends, the number of the third Kroon 100 entrance is assigned to the specific area until the special symbol changes a predetermined number of times, and after the predetermined number of times, the third Kroon 100 entrance is removed. All may be assigned to a specific area.

  Next, as a modified example of the configuration of the first embodiment described below, a fifth variation of the first embodiment having a configuration that allows a plurality of game balls to exist in the specific area sorting apparatus 91 will be described.

  The pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment fires a game ball toward the specific area distribution device 91 provided in the game area 3 after the condition device is activated, and plays a game to the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91. When a ball enters and the game ball entered by the entrance switch 94a is detected, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to close the opening / closing member 93, and the inside of the specific area distribution device 91 Was in a state where only one game ball could exist. When the game ball discharged from the outlet 102 of the specific area sorting device 91 is detected by the outlet switch 102a, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to open the opening / closing member 93, and again. The game ball can be entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91.

  A fifth modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, since there are many common points with Example 1, a different point is demonstrated mainly.

  The specific area distribution device 91 of the modification has no difference in the structure itself of the specific area distribution device 91 of the first embodiment. However, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the timing at which the opening / closing member 93 is opened and closed, and the processing performed by the main controller 80 when a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a and the exit switch 102a of the specific area sorting device 91. .

As in the case of the pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment, the modified example shows that the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with a special symbol, and the opening and closing member 93 is opened when the condition device starts to operate. It is possible to enter the ball from the entrance 94 of the area sorting device 91.
However, the main controller 80 does not close the opening / closing member 93 even if a game ball entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 is detected by the entrance switch 94a of the modification.

  Therefore, it becomes possible for the condition device to start operating and to fire a large number of game balls, so that a plurality of game balls can enter the specific area sorting device 91 from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91. As shown in FIG. 32, a plurality of game balls can exist inside the specific area sorting apparatus 91.

  The first croon 96, the second croon 98, and the third croon 100 provided in the specific area sorting apparatus 91 of the modification 5 of the first embodiment are the first croon 96, the second croon 98, and the third croon of the first embodiment. It is the same as the Kroon 100 (see FIG. 4).

  In the fifth modification of the first embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, after the condition device is activated, the game balls are introduced from the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91, and the specific area distribution device 91. Of the game balls that enter the game, one game ball enters the first entrance 106 provided in the third cruise 100, and the first entrance switch 106a causes the game ball to be inserted. When detected, a big hit game will be executed. When the first entrance switch 106a detects the entrance of a game ball, the main controller 80 is configured to control the open / close member solenoid 93b to close the open / close member 93.

  If the configuration of the fifth modification of the first embodiment is used, a plurality of game balls can exist in the specific area sorting apparatus 91. For example, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed next time with a special symbol. There is also a possibility that the game ball remains in the specific area sorting apparatus 91. Therefore, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the special symbol, the same number of game balls as the number of game balls detected by the inlet switch 94a is detected by the outlet switch 102a of the specific area sorting device 91 of the fifth modification of the first embodiment. And the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to open the opening / closing member 93 when the game ball is not present in the specific area sorting device 91. It has become.

  In the bullet ball game machine according to the first embodiment, the specific area sorting device 91 is configured to allow only one game ball to enter the specific area sorting device 91. A plurality of game balls can be entered in the minute device 91. In this case, since there are a plurality of game balls in the first cron 96, the second cron 98, and the third cron 100 of the specific area distribution device 91, more game balls reach the third cron 100. Thus, the game ball can be forcibly brought into the first entrance 106 (specific area) by the behavior of a plurality of game balls, and a highly-oriented bullet ball game machine can be obtained.

As modifications of the first embodiment, the modifications 1 to 5 of the first embodiment have been described. However, the above-described modifications may be combined.
For example, the structure which combined the structure of the modification 2 of Example 1 and the structure of the modification 3 of Example 1 is also considered. In this case, as in the second modification of the first embodiment, it is assumed that there are a plurality of types of jackpot symbols for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and the main controller 80 determines that the jackpot symbol is S235 in FIG. When it is determined, the big hit symbol is determined in S240 of FIG. 10, and the big hit setting process is performed in S250 of FIG. 10 according to the big hit determined in S240. In addition, when the condition device is activated, in the specific area setting process 2 (S701 in FIG. 29), the third cron 100 according to the stop symbol of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). In the same way as in the third modification of the first embodiment, the entrance is assigned to the specific area or the exit according to the allocation pattern of the entrance (FIGS. 27B and 28B) and assigned to the specific area. When a game ball enters the entrance that is set in the specific area, one of multiple types of big hit games (4 rounds, 10 rounds, or 15 rounds) depending on the special symbol stop pattern The jackpot game is executed.

  Moreover, the structure which combines the structure of the modification 2 of Example 1 and the structure of the modification 4 of Example 1 is also considered. In this case, as in the second modification of the first embodiment, it is assumed that there are a plurality of types of jackpot symbols for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and the main controller 80 determines that the jackpot symbol is S235 in FIG. If determined, the big hit symbol is determined in S240 of FIG. 10, and the big hit setting process is performed in S250 of FIG. 10 according to the big hit symbol determined in S240. When the condition device starts operating, if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a big hit is the normal gaming state, the third cruiser 100 is performed by the gaming state specific area setting process 1 (S760 in FIG. 31). The first entrance 106 is set as a specific area, and the 5th entrance 110 from the other second entrance 107 is assigned to the exit. In addition, if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when determined to be a big hit is a high-probability gaming state, in the gaming state specific area setting process 2 (S765 in FIG. 31), the entrance (first entry) of the third croon 100 All of the ball entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110) are assigned to the specific area and set to the specific area. And according to the stop symbol of the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) by entering the game ball into the entrance set in the specific area (FIGS. 23, 24), multiple types of big hit A jackpot game of any one of the games (4 rounds, 10 rounds or 15 rounds) is executed.

In addition, the structure which combined the structure of the modification 2 of Example 1, the structure of the modification 3 of Example 1, and the structure of the modification 4 of Example 1 is also considered. In this case, it is assumed that there are a plurality of types of jackpot symbols of the first special symbol and the jackpot symbol of the second special symbol as in the second modification of the first embodiment and the third modification of the first embodiment. If the big hit is determined in S235 in FIG. 10, the big hit symbol is determined in S240 in FIG. 10, and the big hit setting process is performed in S250 in FIG. 10 according to the big hit symbol determined in S240.
In this configuration, the type of jackpot symbol determined in S240 of FIG. 10 differs depending on the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined that the jackpot is big, and the third croon depends on the type of jackpot symbol. The number of 100 entrances assigned to a specific area is different.
In the specific area setting process performed by the main controller 80 having the above-described combination configuration when the condition device starts to operate, the third cruiser 100 of the third cruiser 100 is determined according to the jackpot symbol determined when it is determined that the jackpot is determined in the high probability gaming state. All the entrances (the first entrance 106 to the 5th entrance 110) are often assigned to a specific area and set as a specific area, but only the first entrance 106 of the third cruiser 100 is set as a specific area. The allocation specific area is set, and the second entrance 107 to the fifth entrance 110 are rarely assigned to the outlets. However, the specific area setting process performed by the main control device 80 is based on the big hit symbol determined when the big hit is determined in the normal gaming state. The fifth entrance 110) is rarely assigned to the specific area and set as the specific area, but only the first entrance 106 of the third cruiser 100 is assigned to the specific area, and the second entrance 107 to the fifth entrance Often, the mouth 110 is assigned to the outlet. And according to the stop symbol of the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) by entering the game ball into the entrance set in the specific area (FIGS. 23, 24), multiple types of big hit A jackpot game of any one of the games (4 rounds, 10 rounds or 15 rounds) is executed.
[Example 2]

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the present embodiment has a lot in common with the first embodiment, the first modification of the first embodiment, and the second modification of the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.

  The specific area distribution device 91 of the present embodiment will be described. Unlike the specific area distribution device 91 of the first embodiment, all the entrances provided in the third croon 100 of the specific area distribution device 91 of the present embodiment are specific areas. Therefore, the game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91 has a probability of 1/3 that has passed through the first guide path 95 and reached the first croon 96, as in the first embodiment. Thus, it is possible to enter the first guide port 103. A game ball that has entered the first guide port 103 passes through the second guide route 97 and reaches the second cruiser 98 with a probability of 1/4 as in the first embodiment. It is possible to enter 105. The game ball that has entered the second guide port 105 passes through the third guide path 99 and reaches the third cruiser 100. A game ball that has reached the third cruiser 100 always enters one of the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 (all specified areas). The third croon 100 is configured such that the probability that a game ball enters the fifth entrance 110 from the first entrance 106 is all 1/5. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of entrances (specific areas) of the third crew 100 may be five or more.

In the first embodiment, the jackpot probability when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability state is 1/35, and the jackpot probability in the normal gaming state is 1/40, so the jackpot probability in the first embodiment is Regardless of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50, the probability that a game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 enters the first entrance 106 of the third cruiser 100 is higher (1/60). Was configured.
However, in the second embodiment, as described above, the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 provided in the third croon 100 are all configured as specific regions. The probability that the game ball that has entered from the entrance 94 of the minute device 91 enters the entrance that is a specific area of the third cruiser 100 is increased.

  Therefore, the jackpot probability of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment is higher than the probability of entering the entrance which is the specific area of the third croon 100 of the game ball entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area distribution device 91. To achieve this, the jackpot probability is set higher than the probability of entering the ball, or one first guide port 103 and five discharge ports are provided in the first croon of the specific area sorting device 91 of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment. 104, and the second cruiser 98 includes one second guide port 105 and nine discharge ports 104 (not shown), and a game ball entered from the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting device 91 is the first. The probability of entering the entrance (specific area) of 3 Kroon 100 is considered to be 1/60 of 1/6 × 1/10.

  The electrical configuration diagram of the pachinko machine 50 according to the present embodiment is the same as that of the first modification of the first embodiment.

  A difference between the main routine of the first embodiment and the main routine of the second embodiment is a jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30). The jackpot symbol determination random number update process of the first embodiment is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 54 integers “1” to “54”.

  The main control device 80 according to the second embodiment starts the jackpot game that starts the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol determined in S240 of FIG. 10 (in this embodiment, the first special symbol 18 types and the second special symbol 18 types). Command (high probability state, presence / absence of opening extension etc.) and information related to jackpot game (jacket opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, special symbol stop through the first entrance 106 according to special symbols The number of rounds assigned to the ball port 110) is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. In the present embodiment, when the final round is a big hit game with 4 rounds, 10 rounds or 15 rounds, the maximum opening time of each round is 28 seconds. Of course, this number of seconds is not limited. When the game state after the end of the big hit game shifts to the probability change state and the open extension state, the number of times of probability change and the number of time reductions are 100 times. Moreover, when shifting to an open extension state, the number of time reductions is 100 times.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment will be described. The pachinko machine 50 is caused by the game ball entering the specific area after the condition device is activated after being determined to be successful in the determination of success or failure performed using the random numbers corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The jackpot game is performed by opening the jackpot 14 and giving the player a lot of prize balls. The number of rounds of the jackpot game is the fifth prize from the first slot 106 provided in the third croon 100. It is determined depending on whether a game ball has entered one of the entrances of the ball entrance 110 (all specified areas).

  Specifically, if the winning / failing determination is made, the condition device is activated (S385 in FIG. 12), and the state shifts to a waiting state for entering a specific area and a round number lottery state. The number of rounds is assigned from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 (all specific areas) according to the stop symbol of the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol), and the game ball is either When entering the entrance, the equipment continuous operation device is activated, the entrance standby state to the specific area and the round lottery state are finished, and the big hit game is performed over the number of rounds assigned to the entrance entrance. It is the composition that is called.

  Here, the number of rounds allocated from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110 according to the stop symbol of the special symbol of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 and 34. FIG.

First, FIG. 33 (a) shows the relationship between the jackpot symbol determining random number of the first special symbol and the display symbol.
When the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 1 to 27, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of the nine types of symbols is set. For example, if the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is 1 to 3, the lower right vertical bar segment is excluded from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device, and a decimal point is added. A symbol is set. When the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 16 to 18, the symbol is set by removing the horizontal bar below the lower mouth portion from the symbol used as “6” in the 7-segment display device.
Further, when the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 28 to 54, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of nine types of symbols different from the symbols is set. For example, if the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the first special symbol is 28-30, the right upper vertical bar segment is excluded from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device, and the decimal point is added. Is set. The special symbol set when the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 52 to 54 is a symbol obtained by adding a decimal point to the symbol used as “9” in the 7-segment display device, excluding the upper left vertical bar segment. Is set.

  In addition to the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 33A, there is a lost symbol (not shown), which lights up seven segments in an “H” shape.

FIG. 33B shows the name of the stop symbol displayed as the first special symbol and the number of rounds assigned from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110.
For example, when symbol 1 is displayed, 15 rounds are assigned from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110. When the symbol 6 is displayed, the first entrance 106 has 15 rounds, the second entrance 107 has 4 rounds, the third entrance 108 has 10 rounds, and the fourth entrance 109 has 4 rounds. Fifteen rounds are assigned to the round and the fifth entrance 110. When the symbol 10 is displayed, 4 rounds at the first entrance 106, 4 rounds at the second entrance 107, 15 rounds at the third entrance 108, 10 rounds at the fourth entrance 109, Fifteen rounds are assigned to the fifth entrance 110. When the symbol 18 is displayed, four rounds are assigned from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110. The table shown in FIG. 33 (b) indicates that when the winning is the first special symbol, 15 rounds, 10 rounds or 4 rounds are assigned to each entrance depending on the stop symbol. . Moreover, the selection rate of the stop symbol displayed with the first special symbol is 1/18.

Next, FIG. 34A shows the relationship between the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the second special symbol and the display symbol.
When the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 1 to 27, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of the nine types of symbols is set. For example, when the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 1 to 3, a symbol is set by excluding the lower right vertical bar segment from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device. When the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol is 16 to 18, the symbol obtained by removing the left vertical bar and the lower horizontal bar in the lower mouth portion from the symbol used as “6” in the 7-segment display device. Is set.
When the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 28 to 54, a symbol obtained by partially changing each of nine types of symbols different from the symbols described above is set. For example, when the value of the big hit symbol determining random number is 28-30, a symbol obtained by removing the upper right vertical bar segment from the symbol used as “1” in the 7-segment display device is set. In addition, the special symbol set when the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol is 52 to 54 is set by removing the upper left vertical bar segment from the symbol used as “9” in the 7-segment display device. .

  In addition to the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. 34 (a), there is a lost symbol (not shown), which lights seven segments in an “H” shape.

FIG. 34 (b) shows the name of the stop symbol displayed as the second special symbol and the number of rounds assigned from the first entrance to the fifth entrance.
For example, when the symbol 19 is displayed, 15 rounds are assigned from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110. When the symbol 24 is displayed, the first entrance 106 is 10 rounds, the second entrance 107 is 15 rounds, the third entrance 108 is 15 rounds, and the fourth entrance 109 is 10 rounds. Ten rounds are allocated to the round and the fifth entrance 110. When the symbol 28 is displayed, the first entrance 106 has 15 rounds, the second entrance 107 has 15 rounds, the third entrance 108 has 10 rounds, the fourth entrance 109 has 15 rounds, 15 rounds are allocated to the 5-th entrance 110. When the symbol 36 is displayed, 10 rounds are allocated from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110. Note that the table shown in FIG. 34 (b) shows that, when the winning is the second special symbol, 15 rounds or 10 rounds are assigned to each entrance depending on the stop symbol. Moreover, the selection rate of the stop symbol displayed by the second special symbol is 1/18.

Here, the number of winning balls that can be acquired by the big hit game executed by the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 33 (b) and 34 (b) will be described.
First, the big hit game with the final round of 15 rounds is performed 15 rounds with the grand prize winning opening 14 being 1 round of the opening operation for a maximum of 28 seconds. In the jackpot game, 15 rounds in which a predetermined number of winnings are expected are played. Therefore, in the jackpot game, 150 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball in the big prize opening 14 is 13, so that 150 × Thirteen 1950 prize balls can be acquired.
Finally, in the jackpot game with the final round of 10 rounds, the grand prize winning opening 14 is held 10 rounds for a maximum of 28 seconds opening operation. In both jackpot games, ten rounds in which a predetermined number of winnings are expected are played. Therefore, in both big hit games, 100 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball in the big prize opening 14 is 13, so that 100 × 13 1300 prize balls can be acquired.
In addition, for the big hit game with the final round of 4 rounds, the grand prize winning opening 14 is carried out 4 rounds with a maximum of 28 seconds opening operation 1 round. In both big hit games, four rounds in which a predetermined number of winnings are expected are played. Therefore, in both jackpot games, 40 game balls can be entered, and the number of prize balls obtained by entering one game ball in the big prize opening 14 is 13, so that 40 * 13 520 prize balls can be acquired.
Therefore, the jackpot game executed by the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment includes a jackpot game with a final round of 15 rounds (1950 winning prize balls) and a jackpot game with a final round of 10 rounds (winning winning balls). There are three types of jackpot games with different number of winning balls that can be acquired, such as a jackpot game with a final round of 4 rounds (number of winning balls 520).

When the display time of the fixed symbol has not ended in S350 of FIG. 12 (S350: no), the main control device 80 of the second embodiment performs the condition device operation start process (S385) of FIG. After the child command transmission process (S430) is performed, the process proceeds to the specific area entry process 4.
The specific area entrance processing 4 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the main control device 80 of the second embodiment determines whether or not the condition device has been operated in S850 of FIG. In the case of negative determination (S850: no), the process returns as it is. If the determination is affirmative (S850: yes), the process proceeds to S855. In the specific area round number setting process of S855, the main controller 80 sets the specific area according to the stop pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) (see FIGS. 33 and 34). A round number is assigned from the first entrance 106 to the fifth entrance 110. Here, setting to a specific area means enabling it as a specific area. Therefore, when the process by S855 is not performed, the 1st entrance 106 to the 5th entrance 110 are invalid as a specific field. Therefore, even if the ball enters, the accessory continuous operation device does not operate.
Thereafter, in S860, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to open the opening / closing member 93. Next, in S865, the main control device 80 transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 a first designation command indicating that it is in a waiting state for entering a specific area and in a round lottery state. In subsequent S870, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered by an entrance switch 94a provided at the entrance 94 of the specific area sorting apparatus 91. If the determination is negative (S870: no), the process proceeds to S870 again. If the determination is affirmative (S870: yes), in S875, main controller 80 controls open / close member solenoid 93b to close open / close member 93. In the subsequent S880, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the entrance set in the specific area in S855.

  In S880, in the case of an affirmative determination (S880: yes), a game ball has entered any of the entrances set in the specific area in the specific area entrance determination process (S885). Determine whether. In S890, main controller 80 sets the number of rounds assigned to the entrance into which the game ball entered based on the result determined in S885 as the number of rounds of the big hit game (S890). Thereafter, the accessory continuous operation device is operated in S895, and a big hit game start process is performed in S900. In the jackpot game start processing (S900), the jackpot game start command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (the jackpot opening time, the opening pattern, the jackpot ending time, the number of rounds assigned to the entrance gate which entered the ball) Etc.) to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  In S880, if the main control device 80 determines that the game ball has not entered the specific area (S880: no), whether or not the game ball is detected by the exit switch 102a of the specific area distribution device 91 is determined. Is determined (S905). If the determination is negative (S905: no), the process proceeds to S880 again. If the determination is affirmative (S905: yes), in S910, main controller 80 controls open / close member solenoid 93b to open the open / close member. Subsequently, in S915, the main control device 80 transmits again a second designation command indicating that it is in the waiting state for entering the game ball into the specific area and the lot number lottery state to the sub integrated control device 83. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a game ball is detected by the entrance switch 94a of the specific area sorting apparatus 91 (S920). If the determination is negative (S920: no), the process proceeds to S920 again. If the determination is affirmative (S920: yes), in S925, the main controller 80 causes the main controller 80 to control the opening / closing member solenoid 93b to close the opening / closing member, and then proceeds to S880 again.

As shown in the display example 117 in FIG. 41A, the round corresponding to the first entrance 106 is 10 rounds, the round corresponding to the third entrance 107 is 4 rounds, and the fourth entrance 109 is equivalent. 15 rounds are displayed on the circle, and a circle (discharge port) is displayed on a circle corresponding to the second entrance 107 and a circle corresponding to the fifth entrance 110. Therefore, 10 rounds at the first entrance 106, 4 rounds at the 3rd entrance 108, 15 rounds at the 4th entrance 109, and loss (exhaust entrance) at the 2nd entrance 107 and the 5th entrance 110. ) Is assigned.

  In addition, when the stop symbol 8 of the first special symbol is (see FIG. 38) and the stop symbol of the second special symbol is 25 (see FIG. 39), the display example 117 of FIG. As described above, the circle corresponding to the second entrance 107 and the circle corresponding to the fourth entrance 109 are 10 rounds, the circle corresponding to the first entrance 106, the third entrance 108 and the fifth entrance. Loss is displayed in a circle corresponding to the mouth 110. Therefore, 10 rounds are allocated to the second entrance 107 and the fourth entrance 109, and a loss (discharge port) is assigned to the first entrance 106, the third entrance 108, and the fifth entrance 110. .

  Finally, when the stop symbol of the first special symbol is 18 (see FIG. 38) and the stop symbol of the second special symbol is 26 (see FIG. 39), the display example 117 of FIG. As shown, a circle corresponding to the first entrance 106, a circle equivalent to the third entrance 108, and a circle equivalent to the fifth entrance 110 are round 15 and a circle equivalent to the second entrance 107. Loss is displayed in a circle corresponding to the fourth entrance 109. Therefore, 15 rounds are assigned to the first entrance 106, the third entrance 108, and the fifth entrance 110, and a loss (discharge port) is assigned to the second entrance 107 and the fourth entrance 109. .
