Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly, to a ball game machine provided with a first special symbol and a second special symbol, wherein both special symbols can be changed simultaneously.

  The conventional representative ball game machine (pachinko machine) has a plurality of start openings, and the first special symbol is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the first start opening. When a game ball enters the second starting opening, whether or not the second special symbol is determined is determined, each special symbol is displayed after variation, and the result of the determination is notified. If it is a “hit”, it is configured to shift to a jackpot game that is advantageous for winning a prize ball. In this type of pachinko machine, special symbols are changed one by one, and the second special symbol is given priority to change, and the second special symbol is more advantageous than the first special symbol. The probability of being selected is high, and the normal game and the short-time (open / extended) game where it is advantageous to enter the second starting port are sharpened.

  In the conventional structure, there is a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are simultaneously changed (for example, Patent Document 1). By adopting this configuration, it is possible to generate a big hit faster than a configuration in which only one of them changes, and while one symbol variation is lengthened, the other symbol variation is shortened and one symbol variation is further increased. By increasing the probability that an advantageous state will end when a big hit is made, it is possible to have a time-race gaming configuration in which a lot of big hits are generated on the other symbol before a big hit on one symbol. Note that determination of success / failure of big hit, control of variation of symbols, control of big hit games, etc. are controlled by the main controller.

JP 2011-101747 A

However, in the conventional configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be varied simultaneously, both special symbols must be controlled at the same time. Processing burden is heavy. Further, in a configuration that can be changed simultaneously, control is required that does not generate big hits of both special symbols at the same time.
In addition, if it is configured so as not to generate big hits of both special symbols at the same time, there is a possibility that the game is disadvantageous to the player.
Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention reduces the processing load in a simultaneous variation configuration in which the processing load of the main controller is large, and at the same time does not generate a big hit of both special symbols and is disadvantageous to the player. It was made as an issue to realize a bullet ball machine that would not be.

The invention described in claim 1

Regardless of whether the time when the measurement is interrupted by the measurement interruption means is either the fluctuation time or the fixed time, the symbol indicating the small hit or the symbol indicating the big hit that caused the interruption of the measurement is displayed. Measurement restarting means for restarting the interrupted measurement after the end of the small hit game or the big hit game,
In the special symbol display device of either the first special symbol display device or the second special symbol display device, the special symbol display device starts during the change of the special symbol determined as the big hit. If the numerical value stored in the corresponding holding storage means is a value that is a small hit, the fluctuation is determined and displayed with a symbol indicating the small hit, but the numerical data is a value that is a big hit In the case where there is a change, a change switching control means for performing a change that is fixedly displayed with a symbol indicating a loss is provided in the main control device.

According to this, in the special symbol display device of either the first special symbol display device or the second special symbol display device, when the fixed display is started with the symbol indicating the small hit and the symbol indicating the big hit is determined When the display is started, the time measurement of the process (fluctuation or definite display) on the other special symbol display device is interrupted, so that the same content can be obtained regardless of the small hit or the big hit. Control is enough. Furthermore, even if the process on the other special symbol display device is changing or being confirmed, only the control with the same content, such as interrupting the time measurement, is required, greatly increasing the processing load on the main controller. Can be reduced.
In addition, when the variation that becomes a big hit is started in one of the first special symbol display device or the second special symbol display device, the variation is started in the other special symbol display device. However, even if the numerical data that is a big hit is extracted, the fluctuation that causes the loss starts, but if the numerical data that is a small hit is extracted, the small hit is changed as it is. Since the game is executed, the game is not disadvantageous to the player while avoiding simultaneous big hits of the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 performs a lottery determination for the usual figure due to the entry to the operation gate 22 and starts the symbol variation of the ordinary figure display device 29. If the lottery result is a win, the winning result is confirmed and displayed on the display device 29, and the utility is released. Thereby, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 24. In the present embodiment, the second special figure starting port 24 is not configured to be able to enter the ball at all times, so that it is possible to enter the ball by hitting the usual figure, but the second special figure starting port 24 can usually enter the ball. In the case of the configuration, it is easier to enter the ball than usual by hitting the usual figure.

When there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23, a random number value for the first special figure is extracted due to this, and whether or not the first special figure is appropriate is determined based on the random number value. The special symbol display device 28A starts symbol variation of the first special symbol, and the effect symbol display device 21 starts symbol variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the first special symbol.
On the other hand, when there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 24, a random number value for the second special figure is extracted due to this, and whether the second special figure is determined based on the random number value, The second special symbol display device 28B starts the symbol variation of the second special symbol, and the effect symbol display device 21 starts the symbol variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the second special symbol.
In the first special figure display device 28A and the second special figure display device 28B, the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure corresponds to the pseudo special effect corresponding to the first special figure and the second special figure in the effect symbol display device 21. The design can be changed simultaneously.

If the determination result of the first special figure or the second special figure is a big hit or a small hit, the big special symbol or the small special symbol is confirmed and displayed on the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B. Then, the effect symbol display device 21 confirms and displays the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol, and shifts to the big hit game or the small hit game. In the big hit game, the big winning opening 25 is opened over a plurality of rounds in a predetermined opening manner according to the big hit symbol, and in the small hit game, the big winning opening 25 is opened in a predetermined opening manner according to the small hit symbol. During the simultaneous change, if either the first special figure or the second special figure becomes a big hit or small hit, the other symbol fluctuation is interrupted, and after the big hit game by the big hit or after the small hit by the small hit The other symbol variation suspended after the end of is resumed.
In addition, after the jackpot game is over, the probability variation gaming state in which the winning probability of the success / failure determination of the first special figure and the second special figure is high probability, and the normal figure winning probability is high probability and the variation time of the normal symbol is It is possible to shift to the short game state when shortening and extending the opening time of the main utility item at the second special figure starting port 24.
Details of the operation of the pachinko machine 1 having such a basic configuration will be described below based on program processing executed by the main controller 40 (strictly, its CPU).

  FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of a “main routine” executed by the main controller 40. The “main routine” is composed of this processing (S100 to S110, S115) and the remaining processing (S111), and has a cycle of 2 ms or 4 ms. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), an initial value random number update process (S101), a big hit determination random number (random number counter) update process (S102), which is a random number value for determining whether or not the special figure is correct, Random number (random number counter) update process for big hit symbol, small hit symbol) (S103), Random number for random number decision (random number counter) for regular figure (S104), reach determination random number for special figure reach (random number) (Counter) update process (S105), update pattern determination random number (random number counter) update process (S106) related to the special pattern change pattern, winning confirmation process (S107), winning / failing determination process (S108), each output process (S109) ) The fraud monitoring process (S110) is performed, and the initial random number update process (S111) is looped within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. To.

Next, a part of subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S107), the success / failure determination process (S108), and each output process (S109) which are deeply related to the present invention will be described.
In the “start winning process” shown in FIG. 6, various random numbers such as success / failure random numbers extracted when a game ball enters the first special figure start opening 23 and the second special figure start opening 24 are stored as storage. Store (store) in main controller 40. And it becomes the process which transmits the various commands resulting from the entrance to each special figure starting port 23 and 24 to the sub integrated control apparatus 42 and the effect design control apparatus 43. Thereafter, the holding memory stored when the game ball enters the first special figure starting port 23 is the first holding memory, and the holding memory stored when the game ball enters the second special figure starting port 24. Is the second reserved memory. In this embodiment, the number of reserved storages that can be stored is four each for the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory.

In the “start winning process”, first, it is determined whether or not the first start port SW503 detects a ball entering the first special figure start port 23 (S200). If there is no entry (S200: no), the process proceeds to S204. If there is an incoming ball (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of first reserved memories stored in the main controller 40 is less than the upper limit (= 4) (S201). If it is the upper limit value (S201: no), the process proceeds to S204. On the other hand, if it is less than the upper limit value (S201: yes), the big hit determining random number, the big hit symbol determining random number, the small hit symbol determining random number, the reach determining random number, the variation pattern determining random number, etc. are extracted in the process of S202. These random numbers are stored as the first reserved memory (corresponding to the first reserved memory means described in the claims), and “1” is added to the first reserved memory counter indicating the first reserved memory number.
A first hold number instruction command indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in the subsequent processing of S203 is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43.

Next, in the process of S204, it is determined whether or not the second start port SW504 detects a ball entering the second special figure start port 24. If there is no entry (S204: no), the process returns. If there is an incoming ball (S204: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of second reserved memories stored in the main controller 40 is less than the upper limit (= 4) (S205). If it is the upper limit value (S205: no), the process returns. On the other hand, if it is less than the upper limit value (S205: yes), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the small hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are extracted, and these random numbers Is stored as the second reserved memory (corresponding to the second reserved memory means described in the claims), and "1" is added to the second reserved memory counter indicating the second reserved memory number (S206).
A second hold number instruction command indicating the value of the second hold memory counter added in the subsequent process of S207 is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43.

7 to 11 are flowcharts of the “first special figure win / fail determination process 1” executed by the main controller 40. In this pachinko machine, the determination process of the first special figure and the determination process of the second special figure are executed separately. In this process, the determination of the first special figure is executed.
As shown in FIG. 7, first, in the process of S300, it is confirmed whether or not the special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 is in operation, and if it is in operation (S300: yes), the process returns. On the other hand, if the special electric accessory is not operating (S300: no), it is checked whether the measurement of the symbol variation time of the first special symbol or the measurement of the symbol fixed display time is suspended in the processing of S301. . If suspended (S301: yes), the process returns.
On the other hand, if the measurement is not interrupted (S301: no), it is confirmed whether or not the first special figure is changing in the process of S302. If not (S302: no), the process of S303 is executed. It is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol of the first special figure is displayed.

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S303 (S303: no), as shown in FIG. 8, it is confirmed in the process of S305 whether there is a hold of the first special figure (first hold storage). If there is no pending storage (S305: no), the process returns. If there is a reserved memory (S305: yes), the number of memories is subtracted in the process of S306, and the process of shifting the reserved memory is performed. By this shift processing, the oldest reserved memory among the reserved memories of the first special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.

Next, in the process of S307, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state with a high probability of being a big hit (if the probability variation flag is “1”, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S307: yes), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit in the processing of S308 by comparing the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change with the big hit determination random number of the held memory that is the target of the success / failure determination. .
If the probability change is not in progress (S307: no), whether or not it is a big hit is determined in the processing of S309 by comparing the normal decision (low probability) hit determination table with the big hit determination random number.

In the subsequent process of S310, it is confirmed whether or not the success / failure determination of the process of S308 or S309 is a big hit (corresponding to the success / failure determination means described in the claims).
If it is a big hit (S310: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S311 whether or not the second special figure is a symbol change that makes a big hit. If the change is a big hit (S311: yes), the process proceeds to the process of S320 to be described later and is forcibly switched to the loss determination (corresponding to the switching change control means described in the claims).
On the other hand, if it is not during the big hit variation (S311: no), the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the reserved memory that is the object of the determination in S312. For example, the big hit symbol determination random numbers are extracted from 20 types of random numbers, and one big hit symbol is determined from the 20 types of big hit symbols shown in FIG. 27 according to the random numbers.

  In the subsequent processing of S313, a variation pattern such as a variation time for the special figure jackpot displayed on the first special figure display device 28A is determined on the basis of the random number for determining the variation pattern of the pending storage that is the object of the determination. (Corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

  After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S314. In this process, a jackpot game release pattern is set based on the determined jackpot symbol. In the jackpot setting process, in addition to setting the opening pattern, for example, setting the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, setting the ending effect time, opening the big winning opening 25 A mode, a game state after the end of the big hit game, and the like are set. When the gaming state after the big hit game is shifted to the probability variation gaming state, a “probability variation setting flag” is set (probability variation setting flag = 1). Further, when the game state after the big hit game is shifted to the short-time game state, a “short-time setting flag” is set (short-time setting flag = 1).

  In the subsequent process of S315, the first special symbol display device 28A performs symbol variation start control (corresponding to the special symbol variation control means described in the claims), and the first special symbol display device 28A performs the first variation to the sub integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43. A variation start command and a symbol designation command for a pseudo effect symbol corresponding to one special symbol are transmitted, and the process returns to the “special game processing” described later. The variation start command and the symbol designation command include a variation pattern of a special figure, a determination result of whether or not the special figure is appropriate.

If it is not a big hit in the process of S310 (S310: no), it is confirmed in the process of S316 whether the success / failure determination of the process of S308 or S309 is a small hit.
If it is a small hit (S316: yes), the small hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the small hit symbol in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination in S317. For example, one small hit symbol is determined from two types of small hit symbols shown in FIG.

  In the subsequent processing of S318, a variation pattern such as a variation time for small hits of the special figure displayed on the first special figure display device 28A is generated based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved storage that is the object of the determination of success / failure. It is determined (corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

After determining the variation pattern, a small hit setting process is performed in S319. In this process, a small hit game release pattern is set based on the determined small hit symbol. In addition, in the small hit setting process, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the small hit game executed on the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the ending effect, the opening mode of the big prize opening 25, etc. Settings are made. Further, if the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state or a time saving gaming state, a subtraction process of “probability changing counter” and “time saving counter” for counting these durations is performed.
Thereafter, like the big hit, the process of S315 is executed, and then the process returns to the “special game process” described later.

If neither big hit nor small hit is found in the processing of S310 and S316 (S310, S316: no), it will be lost, and in the processing of S320, the variation for special figure loss displayed on the first special figure display device 28A will be lost. A variation pattern such as time is determined (corresponding to a variation time determining means described in claims). In the subsequent lost setting process of S321, if the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state or the time saving gaming state, the “probability changing counter” and the “time saving counter” are subtracted to count these durations.
Thereafter, similarly to the big hit and the small win, the processing of S315 is executed, and then the process returns to the “special game processing” described later.

  If the first special figure is changing in the process of S302 of FIG. 7 (S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 9, it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation time of the special figure has elapsed in the process of S325. When this is confirmed (S325: yes), the fixed symbol display process of S326 terminates the variable display of the first special symbol display device 28A and controls the fixed symbol display, and the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control A symbol determination command is transmitted to the device 43 so as to end the pseudo-effect symbol variation display and the effect display, and after returning, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  If the variation time of the first special figure has not elapsed in the process of S325 (S325: no), it is determined whether or not the fixed display of the symbol that will be the big hit or the small hit of the second special figure is started in the process of S327. Check. If the start of the confirmation display is confirmed (S327: yes), the measurement of the variation time of the first special figure is interrupted in the process of S328 (corresponding to the measurement interruption means described in the claims). Note that the fluctuation of the first special figure is continued, and thereafter, the measurement is resumed until the fluctuation time ends.

  If the confirmed symbol of the first special figure is being displayed in the process of S303 of FIG. 7 (S303: yes), as shown in FIG. 10, the big hit or the small hit of the second special figure is obtained in the process of S330. It is confirmed whether or not the fixed display of the symbol is started, and if the start of the fixed display is confirmed (S330: yes), the measurement of the display time of the fixed display of the first special figure is interrupted in the process of S331 (patent) Equivalent to the measurement interruption means described in the claims). The confirmation display of the first special figure is continued until the measurement is resumed and the confirmation display time is ended.

If the fixed display of the symbol that is the big hit or small hit of the second special figure is not started in the process of S330 (S330: no), whether the fixed symbol display time of the first special figure has ended in the process of S332 Check. It should be noted that the final display time for the lost symbol, the final display time for the small hit symbol, and the final display time for the big hit symbol (regardless of the big hit symbol) are all 0.6 seconds. If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S332: no), after returning, the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S332: yes), the control of terminating the fixed symbol display of the first special symbol of the first special symbol display device 28A by the final symbol display end process of S333 is performed. Then, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the confirmation display of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol.
The fixed display time is not limited to the 0.6 seconds. Further, the fixed time may be changed according to the lost symbol, the small hit symbol, or the big hit symbol.

  Subsequently, in the process of S334, it is confirmed whether or not the symbol of the first special symbol is a combination that will be a big hit. If it is a combination that will be a big hit (S334: yes), the probability change flag is set in the confirmation process of the probability change flag in S335. If “1” (S335: yes), the probability variation flag is reset (probability variation flag = 0) in the process of S336. Next, if the hour / hour flag is “1” in the confirmation processing of the hour / hour flag in S337 (S337: yes), the hour / hour flag is reset (hour / hour flag = 0) in the processing in S338. By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game resulting from the first special figure is reset to the normal state.

Next, in the process of S339, the operation start of the special electric accessory is set, and in the subsequent process of S340, the operation of the condition device is started. Further, in the process of S341, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. The special electric accessory is necessary for the opening / closing operation of the grand prize winning opening 25, the condition device is a device necessary for the operation of the accessory continuous operation device in the big hit game, and the accessory continuous operation device is the special electric accessory. It is a device that operates continuously.
Then, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process of S342, and after returning, the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

  If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S334 (S334: no), it is checked in the process of S343 whether the symbol of the first special figure is a combination that is a big hit. If the combination is a small hit (S343: yes), the operation start of the special electric accessory is set in the process of S344, and the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 are set by the small hit start effect process of S345. A command is sent to start a small hit effect.

  After the process of S345 or when the combination is not a small hit in the process of S343 (S343: no), as shown in FIG. 11, if the probability change flag is “1” in the confirmation process of the probability change flag of S350, as shown in FIG. (S350: yes), in the process of S351, it is confirmed whether or not the probability variation count of the probability variation counter is “0”. If the probability variation number is “0” (S351: yes), the probability variation flag is reset (probability variation flag = 0) in the processing of S352. As a result, it is assumed that the number of fluctuations of the special figure has reached the specified number, and the probability variation gaming state is returned to the normal gaming state.

Next, if the time reduction flag is “1” in the time reduction flag confirmation processing in S353 (S353: yes), it is confirmed in S354 whether or not the time reduction count of the time reduction counter is “0”. If the time reduction count is “0” (S354: yes), the time reduction flag is reset (time reduction flag = 0) in the process of S355. As a result, it is assumed that the number of fluctuations of the special figure has reached the specified number, and the normal game state is returned from the short-time game state.
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S356, a state designation command including information such as a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a time reduction flag is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Thereafter, after returning, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

Next, the “second special figure success / failure determination process 1” executed by the main controller 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 16.
In this process, as shown in FIG. 12, it is confirmed whether or not the special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 is in operation in the process of S400, and if it is in operation (S400: yes), the process returns. On the other hand, if the special electric accessory is not operating (S400: no), it is checked whether the measurement of the symbol variation time or the symbol fixed display time of the second special symbol is interrupted in the process of S401. . If suspended (S401: yes), the process returns.
On the other hand, if the measurement is not interrupted (S401: no), it is confirmed in the process of S402 whether or not the second special figure is changing. If not (S402: no), the process in S403 is performed. It is confirmed whether the fixed symbol of the 2nd special figure is displayed.

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S403 (S403: no), as shown in FIG. 13, it is confirmed in the process of S405 whether there is a second special figure hold memory (second hold memory). If there is no pending storage (S405: no), the process returns. If there is a reserved memory (S405: yes), the number of memories is subtracted in the process of S406, and a shift process of the reserved memory is performed. By the shift process, the oldest stored memory among the stored memories in the second special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.

In step S407, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether or not the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state with a high probability of being a big hit (if the probability variation flag is “1”, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S407: yes), in the process of S408, the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change is compared with the big hit determination random number of the held storage that is the target of the success / failure determination to determine whether or not it is a big hit. .
If the probability change is not in progress (S407: no), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit by comparing the normal probability (low probability) determination table with the big hit determination random number in the processing of S409.

In the subsequent processing of S410, it is confirmed whether or not the success / failure determination of the processing of S408 or S409 is a big hit (corresponding to the success / failure determination means described in the claims).
If it is a big hit (S410: yes), in the process of S411, it is confirmed whether or not the first special figure is a symbol change that becomes a big hit. If the change is a big hit (S411: yes), the process proceeds to the process of S420 to be described later and is forcibly switched to the loss determination (corresponding to the change control unit described in the claims).
On the other hand, if it is not during the big hit variation (S411: no), the big hit symbol is determined based on the big hit symbol determining random number in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination in S412. For example, as in the case of the first special figure, one big hit symbol is determined from the 20 types of big hit symbols shown in FIG.

  In the subsequent processing of S413, a variation pattern such as a variation time for a big hit of a special figure displayed on the second special figure display device 28B is determined based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved memory that is the object of the determination. (Corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

  After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S414. In this process, a jackpot game release pattern is set based on the determined jackpot symbol. In the jackpot setting process, in addition to setting the opening pattern, for example, setting the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, setting the ending effect time, opening the big winning opening 25 A mode, a game state after the end of the big hit game, and the like are set. When the gaming state after the big hit game is shifted to the probability variation gaming state, a “probability variation setting flag” is set (probability variation setting flag = 1). Further, when the game state after the big hit game is shifted to the short-time game state, a “short-time setting flag” is set (short-time setting flag = 1).

  In the subsequent processing of S415, the symbol variation start control of the second special symbol display device 28B is performed (corresponding to the special symbol variation control means described in the claims), and the second integrated symbol control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 are first controlled. 2) The pseudo-design symbol change start command and symbol designation command corresponding to the special symbol are transmitted, and the process returns to the “special game processing” described later. The variation start command and the symbol designation command include a variation pattern of a special figure, a determination result of whether or not the special figure is appropriate.

If it is not a big hit in the process of S410 (S410: no), it is confirmed in the process of S416 whether or not the success / failure determination of the process of S408 or S409 is a small hit.
If it is a small hit (S416: yes), the small hit symbol is determined based on the small random number for determining the small hit symbol in the reserved storage that is the object of the determination in S417. For example, one small hit symbol is determined from the two types of small hit symbols shown in FIG. 27 as in the case of the first special symbol.

  In the subsequent processing of S418, a variation pattern such as a variation time for small hits of the special figure displayed on the second special figure display device 28B is generated based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved storage that is the object of the determination of success / failure. It is determined (corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

After determining the variation pattern, a small hit setting process is performed in S419. In this process, a small hit game release pattern is set based on the determined small hit symbol. In addition, in the small hit setting process, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the small hit game executed on the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the ending effect, the opening mode of the big prize opening 25, etc. Settings are made. Further, if the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state or a time saving gaming state, a subtraction process of “probability changing counter” and “time saving counter” for counting these durations is performed.
Thereafter, like the big hit, the process of S415 is executed, and thereafter, the process returns to the “special game process” described later.

If neither big hit nor small hit is found in the processing of S410 and S416 (S410, S416: no), it becomes a loss, and in the processing of S420, the fluctuation for the special figure loss displayed on the second special figure display device 28B. A variation pattern such as time is determined (corresponding to a variation time determining means described in claims). In the subsequent lose setting process of S421, if the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state or the time saving gaming state, the “probability changing counter” and the “time saving counter” are subtracted to count these durations.
Thereafter, similarly to the big hit and the small win, the processing of S415 is executed, and then the process returns to the “special game processing” described later.

  If the second special figure is changing in the process of S402 in FIG. 12 (S402: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is confirmed whether the special figure change time has elapsed in the process of S425. If this is confirmed (S425: yes), the fixed symbol display process of S426 ends the variable display of the second special symbol display device 28B and controls the fixed symbol display, and the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control. A symbol determination command is transmitted to the device 43 so as to end the pseudo-effect symbol variation display and the effect display, and after returning, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  If the variation time of the second special symbol has not elapsed in the processing of S425 (S425: no), it is determined whether or not the fixed display of the symbol that will be the big hit or the small hit of the first special drawing is started in the processing of S427. Check. If the start of the confirmation display is confirmed (S427: yes), the measurement of the variation time of the second special figure is interrupted in the process of S428 (corresponding to the measurement interruption means described in the claims). In addition, the fluctuation | variation of a 2nd special figure is continued and it continues until measurement is restarted after that and the fluctuation | variation time is complete | finished.

  If the confirmed symbol of the second special figure is being displayed in the process of S403 in FIG. 12 (S403: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, the big hit or small hit of the first special figure is obtained in the process of S430. It is confirmed whether or not the fixed display of the symbol is started, and if the start of the fixed display is confirmed (S430: yes), the measurement of the display time of the fixed display of the second special figure is interrupted in the process of S431 (patent) Equivalent to the measurement interruption means described in the claims). The confirmation display of the second special figure is continued, and thereafter, measurement is resumed until the confirmation display time ends.

If the fixed display of the symbol that is the big hit or small hit of the second special figure has not been started in the process of S430 (S430: no), whether the fixed symbol display time of the second special figure has ended in the process of S432 Check. It should be noted that the final display time for the lost symbol, the final display time for the small hit symbol, and the final display time for the big hit symbol (regardless of the big hit symbol) are all 0.6 seconds. If the fixed symbol display time has not expired (S432: no), the process proceeds to “special game processing” after returning.
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S432: yes), the control of terminating the fixed symbol display of the second special symbol of the second special symbol display device 28B by the processing of the final symbol display end of S433 that follows. Then, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the confirmation display of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol.
The fixed display time is not limited to the 0.6 seconds. Further, the fixed time may be changed according to the lost symbol, the small hit symbol, or the big hit symbol.

  Subsequently, in the process of S434, it is confirmed whether or not the symbol of the second special symbol is a combination that makes a big hit. If it is a combination that makes a big hit (S434: yes), the probability change flag is set in the confirmation process of the probability change flag in S435. If “1” (S435: yes), the probability variation flag is reset (probability variation flag = 0) in the processing of S436. Next, if the hour / hour flag is “1” in the confirmation processing of the hour / hour flag in S437 (S437: yes), the hour / hour flag is reset (hour / hour flag = 0) in the processing in S438. By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game resulting from the second special figure is reset to the normal state.

Next, the operation start of the special electric accessory is set in the process of S439, and the operation of the condition device is started in the subsequent process of S440. Further, in the process of S441, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory.
Then, a command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process of S442, and after returning, the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

  If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S434 (S434: no), it is checked in the process of S443 whether the symbol of the second special figure is a combination that is a big hit. If the combination is a small hit (S443: yes), the operation start of the special electric accessory is set in the process of S444, and the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 are set by the small hit start effect process of S445. A command is sent to start a small hit effect.

  After the process of S445 or when the combination is not a small hit in the process of S443 (S443: no), as shown in FIG. 16, if the probability change flag is “1” in the confirmation process of the probability change flag in S450, as shown in FIG. (S450: yes), in the process of S451, it is confirmed whether or not the number of times of probability variation of the probability variation counter is “0”. If the probability variation number is “0” (S451: yes), the probability variation flag is reset (probability variation flag = 0) in the process of S452. As a result, it is assumed that the number of fluctuations of the special figure has reached the specified number, and the probability variation gaming state is returned to the normal gaming state. The probability variation counter is common to the first special figure and the second special figure, and the probability variation game ends when the total number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the number of fluctuations of the second special figure reaches a prescribed number.

Next, if the time reduction flag is “1” in the confirmation processing of the time reduction flag in S453 (S453: yes), whether or not the time reduction count of the time reduction counter is “0” in the processing of S454 is confirmed. If the number of time reductions is “0” (S454: yes), the time reduction flag is reset (time reduction flag = 0) in the process of S455. As a result, it is assumed that the number of fluctuations of the special figure has reached the specified number, and the normal game state is returned from the short-time game state. Like the probability variation counter, the time-shortage counter is common to the first special figure and the second special figure, and when the total number of fluctuations of the first special figure and the second special figure reaches a specified number, the time-shortage game Ends.
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S456, a state designation command including information such as a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a time reduction flag is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Thereafter, after returning, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the “special game process (corresponding to the jackpot game execution means described in the claims)”, first, it is confirmed in the process of S500 whether or not the special electric accessory is in operation. If not in operation (S500: no), the process returns. If the special electric accessory is in operation (S500: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S501 whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is in operation. If it is in operation (S501: yes), S502 In the process, it is confirmed whether or not the special winning opening 25 is open. If the accessory continuous operation device is not operating in S501 (S501: no), the process proceeds to the small hit game process.
If the winning prize opening 25 is not open in the process of S502 (S502: no), it is checked whether it is during the interval in the process of S503, and if not during the interval (S503: no), in the process of S504 Check if the big hit end production is in progress. If the jackpot end effect is not in progress (S504: no), it is checked whether the jackpot start effect time has elapsed in the processing of S505, and if the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S505: yes), the winning prize opening in S506 is released. In the process, the special winning opening 25 is opened and the process returns.

  If the winning a prize opening is being opened in the process of S502 (S502: yes), as shown in FIG. 18, it is confirmed whether or not there are 10 winnings, which is the prescribed number of prizes, in the winning prize opening 25 in the process of S510. Or, it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 25 in the process of S511 has ended, and if either can be confirmed (S510 or S511: yes), the big prize opening 25 is closed in the process of S512, and the process of S513 In the process, the big hit interval process is executed and the process returns. In the big hit interval process, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to start the big hit interval effect.

If it is during the interval in the process of S503 in FIG. 17 (S503: yes), it is confirmed whether the big hit interval time has elapsed in the process of S520 in FIG. 19 and if it has elapsed (S520: yes), the process of S521. In S522, it is confirmed whether or not it is the final round. If it is the final round (S521: yes), the processing of the big hit end effect is executed in S522, and in this process, the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 are processed. A jackpot end command is transmitted, the jackpot game is terminated, and the process returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S521: no), the process of releasing the special winning opening 25 is executed in the process of S523, and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S504 of FIG. 17 (S504: yes), as shown in FIG. 20, it is confirmed whether or not the end time of the jackpot end effect time has elapsed in the process of S530. If (S530: yes), a process (S531) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and a process (S532) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

In the subsequent processes of S533 to S538, the game state after the big hit game is set with reference to the setting contents set in the “big hit setting process” of S314 or S414. That is, in S314 or S414, it is confirmed whether or not the game state is shifted to the probability variation game state after the big hit game is finished (the probability variation setting flag is confirmed), and in the case of transition (S533: yes), the probability variation count (count value of the probability variation counter) Setting process (S534) and a process (S535) for setting a probability variation flag (probability variation flag = 1).
Next, in the process of S536, it is confirmed whether or not the short-time game state is shifted to after the big hit game is finished (check the short-time setting flag), and in the case of transition (S536: yes), A setting process (S537) and a process (S538) for setting a time reduction flag (time reduction flag = 1) are performed.
After that, in the process of S539, a command to end the big hit game is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and information on whether or not the privilege game is used as a state designation command is used as the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control. Transmit to device 43.

  Next, in the process of S540, it is confirmed whether the measurement of the variation time or the fixed time is interrupted in the special figure (the other special figure) other than the special figure that caused the jackpot game. Is suspended (S540: yes), a measurement resumption process is performed in the process of S541 (corresponding to the measurement resumption means described in the claims).

As shown in FIG. 21, the “small hit game process (corresponding to the small hit game execution means described in the claims)” first determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating in the process of S600. If it is confirmed and being operated (S600: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the small hit start effect is being performed in the process of S601. If the special electric accessory is not operating in S600 (S600: no), the process returns.
If the small hit start effect is being performed in the process of S601 (S601: yes), it is confirmed whether the small hit start effect time has elapsed in the process of S602, and if the progress of the effect time can be confirmed (S602: yes), the subsequent S603 In the big prize opening process, the big prize opening 25 is opened. Then return.
Note that the opening mode of the small winning game big winning opening 25 is about 1.8 seconds. On the other hand, if the small hitting start effect time has not elapsed in the process of S602 (S602: no), the process returns.

If the small hit start effect is not being produced in the process of S601 (S601: no), it is confirmed in the process of S604 whether or not the big prize opening 25 is open, and if it is open (S604: yes), the big prize opening 25 whether or not 10 winnings, which is the prescribed number of winnings, have been confirmed (S605), or whether or not the opening time of the big winning opening 25 has ended (S606), and if either can be confirmed (S605 or (S606: yes), the winning prize opening 25 is closed in the process of S607, and the process returns.
The opening time of the big winning opening 25 for the small hit game is about 1.8 seconds.

  If the big prize opening 25 is not open in the process of S604 (S604: no), as shown in FIG. 22, it is checked whether the small hit end time has passed in the process of S610. If the small hit end time has elapsed (S610: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory is stopped in the process of S611, and the small hit ends in the subsequent S612 process to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control apparatus 43. Send a command.

  Next, in the process of S613, it is confirmed whether or not the measurement of the variation time or the fixed time is interrupted in the special figure other than the special figure that caused the small hit game (the other special figure). If the figure is being interrupted (S613: yes), measurement restart processing is performed in the processing of S614 (corresponding to the measurement restarting means described in the claims).

Based on the timing charts shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, the operation related to the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure of the pachinko machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 23 (a), during the big hit fluctuation (1) that is the big hit of the first special figure, the small hit fluctuation (2) that is the big hit of the second special figure is started and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation. When the big hit variation (1) of the special figure is finished and the confirmation display (1f) of the big hit symbol is started, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the small hit fluctuation (2) of the second special figure is interrupted (2s). . Small hits continue.
When the final display (1f) of the first special figure is finished, a big hit game (31) in which both the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device are started is started. When the big hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted small hit variation time in the second special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a holding storage of the first special figure, the next fluctuation (4) is started (in the example shown, the fluctuation fluctuation that results in a loss).

When the restarted small hit variation of the second special figure is finished and the small hit symbol fixed display (2f) is started, measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure is interrupted ( 4s). The fluctuation will continue.
When the confirmation display (2f) of the second special figure is completed, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a second special figure hold memory, the next fluctuation (6) is started (in the example shown, the fluctuation is a loss).

As shown in FIG. 23B, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the big hit fluctuation (1) of the first special figure and the small hit fluctuation (2) of the second special figure, the small hit fluctuation of the second special figure is completed. When the definite symbol design display (2f) is started, the measurement of the variation time of the big hit variation (1) of the first special figure is interrupted (1s). The fluctuation will continue.
When the confirmation display (2f) of the second special figure is completed, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted big hit fluctuation time in the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a second memory of the special figure, the next change is started. In this case, since the first special figure is in the big hit fluctuation, the newly started fluctuation of the second special figure is forcibly set as the loss fluctuation (6).

When the big hit variation of the first special figure that has been resumed is finished and the decisive display (1f) of the big special symbol is started, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (6) of the second special figure is interrupted (6s). Is done. The fluctuation will continue.
When the final display (1f) of the first special figure is finished, a big hit game (31) in which both the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device are started is started. When the big hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the second special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next fluctuation (4) is started (in the example shown, a fluctuation that causes a loss).

  In this way, while one special figure is in the big hit fluctuation, the small hit fluctuation or the loss fluctuation of the other special figure can be performed. However, even if the other fluctuation is a big hit, it is regarded as a loss fluctuation. Further, even if the final display of the losing symbol of one special figure is completed, the time measurement of the fluctuation of the other special figure and the final display is not interrupted.

As shown in FIG. 24A, the big hit fluctuation (8) of the second special figure is started during the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation, and the small hit fluctuation ( When 7) is completed and the small hit symbol fixed display (7f) is started, the measurement of the variation time of the big hit variation (8) of the second special figure is interrupted (8s). The jackpot fluctuation continues.
When the confirmation display (7f) of the first special figure is finished, a small hit game (51) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted big hit variation time in the second special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next change is started. In this case, since the second special figure is in the big hit fluctuation, the first special figure which is newly started is forcibly changed to the loss fluctuation (4).

When the big hit variation of the second special figure that has been resumed is finished and the decisive display (8f) of the big hit symbol is started, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure is interrupted (4s). Is done. The fluctuation will continue.
When the confirmation display (8f) of the second special figure is finished, a big hit game (32) in which the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device are operated is started almost at the same time. When the big hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a holding storage of the second special figure, the next variation (6) is started.

As shown in FIG. 24B, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure and the big hit fluctuation (8) of the second special figure, the big hit fluctuation of the second special figure is finished. When the decisive display (8f) of the big hit symbol is started, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure is interrupted (7s). The fluctuation will continue.
When the confirmation display (8f) of the second special figure is finished, a big hit game (32) in which the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device are operated is started almost at the same time. When the big hit game is finished, the measurement of the interrupted small hit variation time in the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a holding storage of the second special figure, the next variation (6) is started.

When the restarted small hit variation of the first special figure is completed and the confirmation display (7f) of the small hit symbol is started, measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (6) of the second special figure is interrupted ( 6s). The fluctuation will continue.
When the confirmation display (7f) of the first special figure is finished, a small hit game (51) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the second special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next variation (4) is started.

  In this way, when one special figure is a small hit fluctuation, the other special figure is a big hit fluctuation. In any of the special drawings, measurement of the display time of the big hit decision and the small hit decision display is not interrupted.

As shown in FIG. 25, the small hit variation (2) of the second special figure is started during the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation, and the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure is realized. When the small hit symbol display (7f) is started after the end of the process, the measurement of the variation time of the small hit variation (2) of the second special figure is interrupted (2s). Small hits continue.
When the confirmation display (7f) of the first special figure is finished, a small hit game (51) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted small hit variation time in the second special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next variation (4) is started.

When the restarted small hit variation of the second special figure is finished and the small hit symbol fixed display (2f) is started, measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure is interrupted ( 4s). The fluctuation will continue.
When the confirmation display (2f) of the second special figure is completed, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a holding storage of the second special figure, the next variation (6) is started.

As shown in FIG. 26 (a), during the big hit fluctuation (1) of the first special figure, the loss fluctuation (6) of the second special figure is started and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation, and the loss fluctuation of the second special figure (6 ) Is finished, and when the big hit variation (1) of the first special figure is finished and the big hit symbol fixed display (1f) is started during the final display of the lost symbol (6f), the second special figure of FIG. The measurement of the final display time for the final display of the lost symbol is interrupted (6t). The final display of the lost symbol is continued. Note that even if the fluctuation of the second special figure is a big hit, the fluctuation of the first special figure is in the big hit fluctuation of the first special figure.
When the final display (1f) of the first special figure is finished, a big hit game (31) in which both the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device are started is started. When the big hit game is finished, the measurement of the display time for the losing symbol that has been interrupted in the second special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a holding storage of the first special figure, the next fluctuation (4) is started, and if there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port, a fluctuation (6) resulting therefrom is started.

As shown in FIG. 26 (b), the small hit variation (2) of the second special figure is started during the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation, and the loss fluctuation ( 4) is finished, and when the small hit variation (2) of the second special figure is finished and the small hit symbol fixed display (2f) is started during the lost symbol fixed display (4f), the first symbol The measurement of the fixed display time of the fixed display of the special symbol losing symbol is interrupted (4t). The final display of the lost symbol is continued.
When the confirmation display (2f) of the second special figure is completed, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game is finished, the measurement of the display time for the losing symbol that has been interrupted in the first special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a second special figure holding memory, the next fluctuation (6) is started, and if there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port, a fluctuation (4) resulting therefrom is started.

In the pachinko machine 1, as shown in FIG. 28 (a), the symbol variation of the first special symbol display device 28A and the second special symbol display device 28B controlled by the main controller 40 is measured at the time of measurement of the variation time. And the display mode are the same at the time of interruption of the variation time measurement. On the other hand, the display form of the effect display of the effect symbol display device 21 controlled by the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 is different in the display mode between when the variation time is measured and when the variation time measurement is interrupted. .
For example, the symbol variation of the first special symbol display device 28A and the second special symbol display device 28B causes the symbol to fluctuate at high speed both during measurement and when measurement is interrupted. In addition, you may make it distinguish by changing a display color at the time of measurement, and the time of interruption.
On the other hand, the effect display at the time of change of the effect symbol display device 21 performs a predetermined effect at the time of measurement of the change time, and at the time of interruption of the change time measurement, during the interruption of the predetermined effect and change time measurement similar to those at the time of measurement. Combine indications to show that there is.

As shown in FIG. 28 (b), the fixed display of the symbols of the first special figure display device 28A and the second special figure display device 28B controlled by the main controller 40 is the same as when the fixed display time is measured. The display mode is the same when the time measurement is interrupted. On the other hand, the effect display form of the effect symbol display device 21 controlled by the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 is different in display mode between when the fixed display time is measured and when the fixed display time measurement is interrupted. ing.
For example, in the symbol fixed display of the first special symbol display device 28A and the second special symbol display device 28B, the fixed symbol is lit and displayed at the time of measurement and when measurement is interrupted. In addition, you may make it distinguish by changing a display color at the time of measurement, and the time of interruption.
On the other hand, the effect display at the time of confirmation of the effect symbol display device 21 displays three symbols at the time of measurement of the confirmed display time, and displays and confirms the same three symbols as at the time of measurement when the confirmation display time measurement is interrupted. Combine the indications that display time measurement is suspended.

FIG. 29 shows a display form of effect display executed by the effect symbol display device 21. FIG. 29 (a) shows the effect display of the simultaneous change of the change of the first special figure and the change of the second special figure. The screen of the effect symbol display device 21 is vertically divided into 3 in the upper half. The first special figure pseudo display 210 composed of digits is displayed in a variable manner, and the first special figure hold storage display 212 is displayed.
In the lower half, the second special figure pseudo-display 211 composed of a three-digit number is variably displayed and the second special figure hold storage display 213 is displayed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 29 (b), one special figure is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol, that is, the first special figure pseudo display 210 has three digits as shown in the figure. When the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed, the second special figure (the other special figure) displays the measurement suspended display 214 so that the second special figure pseudo display 211 is overlapped with the fluctuation display while being maintained.

  Next, FIG. 29 (c) shows a display state in the case where one special figure is confirmed and displayed with a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol while the other special figure is confirmed and displayed with a lost symbol. In the example shown in the figure, the second special figure is displayed as a losing symbol while the first special figure is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol. The first special figure pseudo-display 210 is a big hit symbol with three-digit numbers aligned. On the other hand, the second special figure in which the fixed display time is interrupted is displayed in a measurement suspension state 214 so as to overlap with the second special figure pseudo-display 211 composed of irregular three-digit numbers.

According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, either the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B is used. When the fixed display with the symbol indicating the small hit and the fixed display with the symbol indicating the big hit are started, the time measurement of the symbol variation or the time measurement of the fixed display on the other special graphic display device is interrupted. Therefore, the same contents can be controlled in either case of the small hit or the big hit. Further, even if the processing in the other special figure display device is changing or in the final display, the same content control such as interrupting the time measurement is sufficient, and the first special figure display device 28A or 2 The processing load of the main controller 40 that controls the special figure display device 28B can be greatly reduced.
Further, when a big hit change is started in either one of the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B, the other special figure display device starts. Even if the change is a big hit, a change that becomes a loss starts, but if it is a small hit, the small hit change is performed as it is, and then the small hit game is executed. While avoiding simultaneous big hits of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the game is not disadvantageous to the player.

  In addition, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, the fluctuation that becomes a small hit starts in either the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B. Then, if the fluctuation started in the other special figure display device is a big hit, the fluctuation starts as it is, and even if it is a small hit, the fluctuation starts as it is, and the big hit Or, since the small hit does not disappear, it is not a disadvantageous game for the player.

  In addition, the first and second special figure display devices 28A and 28B controlled by the main control device 40 perform the same display during the measurement and the measurement interruption in the variable display and the fixed display. And the effect symbol display device 21 controlled by the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 can suitably notify the player whether the measurement is being performed or the measurement is being interrupted. .

Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, either the first special figure or the second special figure is a fixed display with a small hit symbol or a big hit symbol. When the confirmation display is made and the confirmation display is finished, the time measurement of the symbol variation of the other special figure or the time measurement of the confirmation display is interrupted.
The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be mainly described.

FIG. 30 to FIG. 33 show a flowchart of the “first special figure success / failure determination process 2” executed by the main controller 40 of the pachinko machine. In this pachinko machine, the determination process of the first special figure and the determination process of the second special figure are executed separately. In this process, the determination of the first special figure is executed.
As shown in FIG. 30, first, in the process of S700, it is confirmed whether or not the special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 is in operation, and if it is in operation (S700: yes), the process returns. On the other hand, if the special electric accessory is not operating (S700: no), it is checked whether the measurement of the symbol variation time or the symbol fixed display time of the first special symbol is suspended in the processing of S701. . If suspended (S701: yes), the process returns.
On the other hand, if the measurement is not interrupted (S701: no), it is checked in the process of S702 whether or not the first special figure is changing. If not (S702: no), the process in S703 is performed. It is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol of the first special figure is displayed.

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S703 (S703: no), as shown in FIG. 31, it is confirmed in the process of S705 whether there is a hold memory (first hold memory) of the first special figure. If there is no pending storage (S705: no), the process returns. If there is a pending storage (S705: yes), the number of memories is subtracted in the processing of S706, and the pending storage is shifted. By this shift processing, the oldest reserved memory among the reserved memories of the first special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.

In step S707, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether or not the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state with a high probability of being a big hit (if the probability variation flag is “1”, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S707: yes), in the processing of S708, the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change is compared with the big hit determination random number of the held storage that is the target of the success / failure determination to determine whether or not it is a big hit. .
If the probability change is not in progress (S707: no), whether or not it is a big hit is determined in the processing of S709 by comparing the normal decision (low probability) hit determination table with the big hit determination random number.

In the subsequent process of S710, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of whether or not the process of S708 or S709 is a big hit (corresponding to the determination unit of claims described in the claims).
If it is a big hit (S710: yes), it is checked in the processing of S711 whether or not the second special figure is changing the symbol that is a big hit or whether the symbol fixed display that is a big hit is being displayed. If the change is a big hit or the final display is in progress (S711: yes), the process proceeds to S720, which will be described later, and is forcibly switched to the loss determination (corresponding to the change change control means described in the claims). .
On the other hand, if it is not during a big hit change or a fixed display (S711: no), a big hit symbol is determined based on the big hit symbol determining random number in the stored storage that is the object of the determination in S712. For example, the big hit symbol determination random numbers are extracted from 20 types of random numbers, and one big hit symbol is determined from the 20 types of big hit symbols shown in FIG. 27 according to the random numbers.

  In the subsequent processing of S713, a variation pattern such as a variation time for a special figure jackpot displayed on the first special figure display device 28A is determined on the basis of the random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved memory that is the object of the determination of success or failure. (Corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

  After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S714. In this process, a jackpot game release pattern is set based on the determined jackpot symbol. In the jackpot setting process, in addition to setting the opening pattern, for example, setting the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, setting the ending effect time, opening the big winning opening 25 A mode, a game state after the end of the big hit game, and the like are set. When the gaming state after the big hit game is shifted to the probability variation gaming state, a “probability variation setting flag” is set (probability variation setting flag = 1). Further, when the game state after the big hit game is shifted to the short-time game state, a “short-time setting flag” is set (short-time setting flag = 1).

  In the subsequent processing of S715, the first special symbol display device 28A performs symbol variation start control (corresponding to the special symbol variation control means described in the claims), and the first special symbol display device 28A performs the first variation to the sub integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43. A variation start command and a symbol designation command for a pseudo effect symbol corresponding to one special symbol are transmitted, and the process returns to “special game processing” (see FIG. 17) and “special game processing” as in the first embodiment. . The variation start command and the symbol designation command include a variation pattern of a special figure, a determination result of whether or not the special figure is appropriate.

If it is not a big hit in the process of S710 (S710: no), it is checked in the process of S716 whether the success / failure determination of the process of S708 or S709 is a small hit.
If it is a small hit (S716: yes), a small hit symbol is determined on the basis of the random number for determining the small hit symbol in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination in S717. For example, one small hit symbol is determined from two types of small hit symbols shown in FIG.

  In the subsequent processing of S718, a fluctuation pattern such as a fluctuation time for small hits of a special figure displayed on the first special figure display device 28A is generated based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved storage that is the object of the determination of success or failure. It is determined (corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

After determining the variation pattern, a small hit setting process is performed in S719. In this process, a small hit game release pattern is set based on the determined small hit symbol. In addition, in the small hit setting process, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the small hit game executed on the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the ending effect, the opening mode of the big prize opening 25, etc. Settings are made. Further, if the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state or a time saving gaming state, a subtraction process of “probability changing counter” and “time saving counter” for counting these durations is performed.
Thereafter, like the big hit, the process of S715 is executed, and then the process returns to the “special game process”.

If neither big hit nor small hit is found in the processing of S710 and S716 (S710, S716: no), it will be lost, and in the processing of S720, the variation for special figure loss displayed on the first special figure display device 28A will be lost. A variation pattern such as time is determined (corresponding to a variation time determining means described in claims). In the subsequent lose setting process of S721, if the gaming state is the probability changing gaming state or the time saving gaming state, the “probability changing counter” and the “time saving counter” are subtracted to count these durations.
Thereafter, the process of S715 is executed in the same manner as the big hit and the small hit, and then the process returns to the “special game process”.

  If the first special figure is changing in the process of S702 of FIG. 30 (S702: yes), as shown in FIG. 32, it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation time of the special figure has elapsed in the process of S725. If this is confirmed (S725: yes), the fixed symbol display process of S726 ends the variable display of the first special figure display device 28A, and the fixed symbol display is controlled, and the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control are performed. A symbol determination command is transmitted to the device 43 so as to end the pseudo-effect symbol variation display and the effect display, and after returning, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  If the variation time of the first special symbol has not elapsed in the processing of S725 (S725: no), it is determined whether or not the fixed display of the symbol that will be the big hit or the small hit of the second special drawing is completed in the processing of S727. Check. If the end of the confirmation display is confirmed (S727: yes), the measurement of the variation time of the first special figure is interrupted in the process of S728 (corresponding to the measurement interrupting means described in the claims). Note that the fluctuation of the first special figure is continued, and thereafter, the measurement is resumed until the fluctuation time ends.

  If the confirmed symbol of the first special figure is being displayed in the process of S703 in FIG. 30 (S703: yes), as shown in FIG. 33, the big special or small hit of the second special figure is obtained in the process of S730. It is confirmed whether or not the fixed display of the symbol is finished. If the completion of the fixed display is confirmed (S730: yes), the measurement of the display time of the fixed display of the first special figure is interrupted in the process of S731 (patent) Equivalent to the measurement interruption means described in the claims). The confirmation display of the first special figure is continued until the measurement is resumed and the confirmation display time is ended.

If the final display of the symbol that will be the big hit or the small hit of the second special figure has not ended in the process of S730 (S730: no), whether the fixed symbol display time of the first special figure has ended in the process of S732 Check. It should be noted that the final display time for the lost symbol, the final display time for the small hit symbol, and the final display time for the big hit symbol (regardless of the big hit symbol) are all 0.6 seconds. If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S732: no), the process proceeds to “special game processing” after returning.
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S732: yes), the control for terminating the fixed symbol display of the first special symbol of the first special symbol display device 28A by the final symbol display termination process of S733 is performed. Then, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the confirmation display of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol.
The fixed display time is not limited to the 0.6 seconds. Further, the fixed time may be changed according to the lost symbol, the small hit symbol, or the big hit symbol.

  Subsequently, in the process of S734, it is confirmed whether or not the symbol of the first special symbol is a combination that makes a big hit. If it is a combination that makes a big hit (S734: yes), the probability change flag is set in the confirmation process of the probability change flag in S735. If “1” (S735: yes), the probability variation flag is reset (probability variation flag = 0) in the processing of S736. Next, if the hour / hour flag is “1” in the confirmation processing of the hour / hour flag in S737 (S737: yes), the hour / hour flag is reset (hour / hour flag = 0) in the processing in S738. By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game resulting from the first special figure is reset to the normal state.

Next, in step S739, the operation start of the special electric accessory is set, and in step S740, the operation of the condition device is started. Further, in the process of S741, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. The special electric accessory is necessary for the opening / closing operation of the grand prize winning opening 25, the condition device is a device necessary for the operation of the accessory continuous operation device in the big hit game, and the accessory continuous operation device is the special electric accessory. It is a device that operates continuously.
Then, a command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process of S742, and after returning, the process proceeds to “special game process”.

  If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S734 (S734: no), it is checked in the process of S743 whether the symbol of the first special figure is a combination that is a big hit. If the combination is a small hit (S743: yes), the operation start of the special electric accessory is set in the process of S744, and the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control apparatus 43 are performed by the small hit start effect process of S745. A command is sent to start a small hit effect.

  After the process of S745 or when the combination is not a small hit in the process of S743 (S743: no), it is shown in FIG. 11 in the same manner as the “first special figure success / failure determination process 1” of the first embodiment. Processes similar to S350 to S356 are executed. Thereafter, as in the first embodiment, “special game processing” (see FIG. 17) and “small hit game processing” (see FIG. 21) are executed.

Next, the “second special figure success / failure determination process 2” executed by the main controller 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 to 37.
In this process, as shown in FIG. 34, it is confirmed whether or not the special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 25 in the process of S800 is in operation, and if it is in operation (S800: yes), the process returns. On the other hand, if the special electric accessory is not operating (S800: no), it is confirmed in the processing of S801 whether the measurement of the symbol variation time of the second special symbol or the measurement of the symbol fixed display time is interrupted. . If suspended (S801: yes), the process returns.
On the other hand, if the measurement is not interrupted (S801: no), it is confirmed whether or not the second special figure is changing in the process of S802. If not (S802: no), the process in S803 is performed. It is confirmed whether the fixed symbol of the 2nd special figure is displayed.

  If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S803 (S803: no), as shown in FIG. 35, it is confirmed in the process of S805 whether there is a second special figure hold memory (second hold memory). If there is no pending storage (S805: no), the process returns. If there is a pending storage (S805: yes), the number of memories is subtracted in the processing of S806, and the pending storage is shifted. By the shift process, the oldest stored memory among the stored memories in the second special figure becomes the target of the determination of success / failure.

In step S807, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is a probability variation gaming state with a high probability of being a big hit (if the probability variation flag is “1”, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S807: yes), in the processing of S808, the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change is compared with the big hit determination random number of the held storage that is the target of the success / failure determination to determine whether or not it is a big hit. .
If the probability change is not in progress (S807: no), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit by comparing the normal probability (low probability) determination table with the big hit determination random number in the processing of S809.

In the subsequent process of S810, it is confirmed whether or not the success / failure determination of the process of S808 or S809 is a big hit (corresponding to the success / failure determination means described in the claims).
If it is a big hit (S810: yes), in the process of S811, it is confirmed whether or not the first special figure is a symbol change that is a big hit or is being confirmed. If the change is a big hit or the final display is in progress (S811: yes), the process proceeds to S820 to be described later and is forcibly switched to the loss determination (corresponding to the switching fluctuation control means described in the claims). .
On the other hand, if it is not during the big hit variation (S811: no), the big hit symbol is determined based on the big hit symbol determining random number in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination in S812. For example, as in the case of the first special figure, one big hit symbol is determined from the 20 types of big hit symbols shown in FIG.

  In the subsequent processing of S813, a variation pattern such as a variation time for a special figure jackpot displayed on the second special figure display device 28B is determined on the basis of the random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved memory that is the object of the determination. (Corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

  After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S814. In this process, a jackpot game release pattern is set based on the determined jackpot symbol. In the jackpot setting process, in addition to setting the opening pattern, for example, setting the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, setting the ending effect time, opening the big winning opening 25 A mode, a game state after the end of the big hit game, and the like are set. When the gaming state after the big hit game is shifted to the probability variation gaming state, a “probability variation setting flag” is set (probability variation setting flag = 1). Further, when the game state after the big hit game is shifted to the short-time game state, a “short-time setting flag” is set (short-time setting flag = 1).

In the subsequent process of S815, the symbol variation start control of the second special symbol display device 28B is performed (corresponding to the special symbol variation control means described in the claims), and the second special symbol display device 28B is directed to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. The pseudo-design symbol change start command and symbol designation command corresponding to the two special symbols are transmitted, and the process returns to proceed to “special game processing” (see FIG. 17) in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The variation start command and the symbol designation command include a variation pattern of a special figure, a determination result of whether or not the special figure is appropriate.

If it is not a big hit in the process of S810 (S810: no), it is confirmed in the process of S816 whether or not the success / failure determination of the process of S808 or S809 is a small hit.
If it is a small hit (S816: yes), a small hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the small hit symbol in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination in S817. For example, one small hit symbol is determined from the two types of small hit symbols shown in FIG. 27 as in the case of the first special symbol.

  In the subsequent processing of S818, a variation pattern such as a variation time for small hits of the special figure displayed on the second special figure display device 28B is generated based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved storage that is the object of the determination of success / failure. It is determined (corresponding to the variation time determining means described in the claims).

After determining the variation pattern, a small hit setting process is performed in S819. In this process, a small hit game release pattern is set based on the determined small hit symbol. In addition, in the small hit setting process, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the small hit game executed on the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the ending effect, the opening mode of the big prize opening 25, etc. Settings are made. Further, if the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state or a time saving gaming state, a subtraction process of “probability changing counter” and “time saving counter” for counting these durations is performed.
Thereafter, like the big hit, the process of S815 is executed, and then the process returns to the “special game process”.

If neither big hit nor small hit is found in the processing of S810 and S816 (S810, S816: no), it becomes a loss, and in the processing of S820, the variation for the special figure loss displayed on the second special figure display device 28B. A variation pattern such as time is determined (corresponding to a variation time determining means described in claims). In the subsequent lose setting process of S821, if the gaming state is the probability variation gaming state or the time saving gaming state, the subtraction processing of the “probability variation counter” and “time saving counter” for counting these durations is performed.
Thereafter, the process of S815 is executed in the same manner as the big hit and the small win, and then the process returns to the “special game process”.

  If the second special figure is changing in the process of S802 in FIG. 34 (S802: yes), as shown in FIG. 36, it is confirmed whether the fluctuation time of the special figure has elapsed in the process of S825. If this is confirmed (S825: yes), the fixed symbol display process of S826 terminates the variable display of the second special symbol display device 28B and controls the fixed symbol display, and the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control. A symbol determination command is transmitted to the device 43 so as to end the pseudo-effect symbol variation display and the effect display, and after returning, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  If the variation time of the second special symbol has not elapsed in the process of S825 (S825: no), it is determined whether or not the fixed display of the symbol that will be the big hit or the small hit of the first special drawing is completed in the process of S827. Check. If the end of the confirmation display is confirmed (S827: yes), the measurement of the variation time of the second special figure is interrupted in the process of S828 (corresponding to the measurement interrupting means described in the claims). In addition, the fluctuation | variation of a 2nd special figure is continued and it continues until measurement is restarted after that and the fluctuation | variation time is complete | finished.

  If the confirmed symbol of the second special figure is being displayed in the process of S803 in FIG. 34 (S803: yes), the big hit or the small hit of the first special figure is obtained in the process of S830 as shown in FIG. It is confirmed whether or not the fixed display of the symbol is finished. If the completion of the fixed display is confirmed (S830: yes), the measurement of the display time of the fixed display of the second special figure is interrupted in the process of S831 (patent) Equivalent to the measurement interruption means described in the claims). The confirmation display of the second special figure is continued, and thereafter, measurement is resumed until the confirmation display time ends.

If the final display of the symbol that is the big hit or the small hit of the second special figure is not started in the process of S830 (S830: no), whether the fixed symbol display time of the second special figure has ended in the process of S832 Check. It should be noted that the final display time for the lost symbol, the final display time for the small hit symbol, and the final display time for the big hit symbol (regardless of the big hit symbol) are all 0.6 seconds. If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S832: no), after returning, the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S832: yes), the control of ending the fixed symbol display of the second special symbol of the second special symbol display device 28B by the final symbol display end process of S833 is performed. Then, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to end the confirmation display of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol.
The fixed display time is not limited to the 0.6 seconds. Further, the fixed time may be changed according to the lost symbol, the small hit symbol, or the big hit symbol.

  Subsequently, in the process of S834, it is confirmed whether or not the symbol of the second special symbol is a combination that makes a big hit. If it is a combination that makes a big hit (S834: yes), the probability change flag is set in the confirmation process of the probability change flag in S835. If “1” (S835: yes), the probability variation flag is reset (probability variation flag = 0) in the process of S836. Next, if the hour / hour flag is “1” in the confirmation processing of the hour / hour flag in S837 (S8337: yes), the hour / hour flag is reset (hour / hour flag = 0) in the processing in S838. By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game resulting from the second special figure is reset to the normal state.

Next, in step S839, the operation start of the special electric accessory is set, and in step S840, the operation of the condition device is started. Furthermore, in the process of S841, the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started. The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory.
Then, a command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process of S842, and after returning, the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

  If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S834 (S834: no), it is checked in the process of S843 whether the symbol of the second special figure is a combination that is a big hit. If the combination is a small hit (S843: yes), the operation start of the special electric accessory is set in the process of S844, and the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 are set by the small hit start effect process of S445. A command is sent to start a small hit effect.

  After the process of S845 or when the combination is not a small hit in the process of S843 (S843: no), it is shown in FIG. 16 as in the “second special figure determination process 1” of the first embodiment. Processes similar to S450 to S456 are executed. Thereafter, as in the first embodiment, “special game processing” (see FIG. 17) and “small hit game processing” (see FIG. 21) are executed.

Based on the timing charts shown in FIGS. 38 to 41, the operation related to the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure of the pachinko machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 38 (a), during the big hit fluctuation (1) that is the big hit of the first special figure, the small hit fluctuation (2) that is the big hit of the second special figure is started and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation. The big hit fluctuation (1) of the special figure is finished and the big hit symbol fixed display (1f) is started, and the small special fluctuation (2) of the second special figure is finished and the small hit symbol fixed display (2f) is shown. When the confirmation display of the first special figure is completed, the measurement of the confirmation display time of the small hit confirmation display (2f) of the second special figure is interrupted (2t). The small hit confirmation display is continued.
The jackpot game (31) in which both the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device operate is started almost simultaneously with the end of the confirmation display (1f) of the first special figure. When the big hit game is finished, the measurement of the interrupted small hit fixed display time of the second special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a holding storage of the first special figure, the next fluctuation (4) is started (in the example shown, the fluctuation fluctuation that results in a loss).

When the restarted small hit confirmation display of the second special figure is completed, the measurement of the variation time of the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure is interrupted (4 s). The fluctuation will continue.
Almost simultaneously with the end of the final display (2f) of the second special figure, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a second special figure hold memory, the next fluctuation (6) is started (in the example shown, the fluctuation is a loss).

As shown in FIG. 38 (b), during the simultaneous fluctuation of the big hit fluctuation (1) of the first special figure and the small hit fluctuation (2) of the second special figure, the small hit fluctuation (2) of the second special figure is changed. After finishing, the small-hit symbol confirmation display (2f) is started, and the big hit fluctuation (1) of the first special figure is finished, and the big-hit symbol fixed display (1f) is started. When the confirmation display is completed, the measurement of the confirmation display time of the jackpot confirmation display (1f) of the first special figure is interrupted (1t). The jackpot confirmation display is continued.
Almost simultaneously with the end of the final display (2f) of the second special figure, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted big hit fixed display time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a second memory of the special figure, the next change is started. In this case, since the first special figure is in the big hit fixed display, the variation of the second special figure that is newly started is forcibly set as the loss variation (6).

When the resumed big hit confirmation display (1f) of the first special figure is completed, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (6) of the second special figure is interrupted (6s). The fluctuation will continue.
The jackpot game (31) in which both the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device operate is started almost simultaneously with the end of the confirmation display (1f) of the first special figure. When the big hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the second special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next variation (4) is started.

  In this way, while one special figure is in the big hit fluctuation, the small hit fluctuation or the loss fluctuation of the other special figure can be performed. However, even if the other fluctuation is a big hit, it is regarded as a loss fluctuation. Further, even if the final display of the losing symbol of one special figure is completed, the time measurement of the fluctuation of the other special figure and the final display is not interrupted.

As shown in FIG. 39 (a), the big hit fluctuation (8) of the second special figure is started during the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation. 7) is finished and the small hit symbol fixed display (7f) is started, and the big hit fluctuation (8) of the second special figure is finished, and the big hit symbol fixed display (8f) is started, and the first When the confirmation display of the special figure is completed, the measurement of the fixed display time of the big hit confirmation display (8f) of the second special figure is interrupted (8t). The jackpot confirmation display is continued.
Almost simultaneously with the end of the final display (7f) of the first special figure, a small hit game (51) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted big hit fixed display time of the second special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next variation (4) is started. In this case, since the second special figure is in the big hit fixed display, the fluctuation of the first special figure that is newly started is forcibly set as the loss fluctuation (4).

When the jackpot confirmation display of the resumed second special figure ends, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure is interrupted (4 s). The fluctuation will continue.
The jackpot game (32) in which the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous actuating device operate is started almost simultaneously with the end of the confirmation display (8f) of the second special figure. When the big hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a holding storage of the second special figure, the next variation (6) is started.

As shown in FIG. 39 (b), during the simultaneous fluctuation of the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure and the big hit fluctuation (8) of the second special figure, the big hit fluctuation of the second special figure is finished. The big hit symbol confirmation display (8f) is started, the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure is finished, and the small hit symbol finalization display (7f) is started, and the second special figure finalization display is started again. When is completed, the measurement of the fixed display time of the small hit fixed display (7f) of the first special figure is interrupted (7t). The small hit confirmation display is continued.
The jackpot game (32) in which the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous actuating device operate is started almost simultaneously with the end of the confirmation display (8f) of the second special figure. When the big hit game is finished, the measurement of the interrupted small hit fixed display time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a holding storage of the second special figure, the next variation (6) is started.

When the restarted small hit confirmation display (7f) of the first special figure is finished, the measurement of the fluctuation time of the loss fluctuation (6) of the second special figure is interrupted (6s). The fluctuation will continue.
Almost simultaneously with the end of the final display (7f) of the first special figure, a small hit game (51) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the second special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next variation (4) is started.

  In this way, when one special figure is a small hit fluctuation, the other special figure is a big hit fluctuation.

As shown in FIG. 40, the small hit variation (2) of the second special figure is started during the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation, and the small hit fluctuation (7) of the first special figure is realized. Is finished, the small hit symbol fixed display (7f) is started, the small hit variation (2) of the second special drawing is ended, and the small hit symbol fixed display (2f) is started. When the special figure confirmation display (7f) is completed, the measurement of the confirmation display time of the small hit confirmation display (2f) of the second special figure is interrupted (2t). The small hit confirmation display is continued.
Almost simultaneously with the end of the final display (7f) of the first special figure, a small hit game (51) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted small hit fixed display time of the second special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next variation (4) is started.

When the restarted small hit confirmation display of the second special figure is completed, the measurement of the variation time of the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure is interrupted (4 s). The fluctuation will continue.
Almost simultaneously with the end of the final display (2f) of the second special figure, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started. When the small hit game ends, the measurement of the suspended variation time of the first special figure is resumed.
Further, if there is a holding storage of the second special figure, the next variation (6) is started.

As shown in FIG. 41 (a), during the big hit fluctuation (1) of the first special figure, the loss fluctuation (6) of the second special figure is started and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation, and the big hit fluctuation (1) of the first special figure. Is finished and the big win symbol confirmation display (1f) is started, and the second special figure loss variation (6) is finished, and the lost symbol fixed display (6f) is started. When the confirmation display (1f) ends, the measurement of the confirmation display time of the loss confirmation display (6f) of the second special figure is interrupted (6t). Loss confirmation display is continued.
The jackpot game (31) in which both the special electric accessory and the accessory continuous operation device operate is started almost simultaneously with the end of the confirmation display (1f) of the first special figure. When the big hit game is finished, the measurement of the suspended confirmation display time of the second special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a reserved memory of the first special figure, the next variation (4) is started.
Furthermore, if there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port, a variation (6) caused by this is started.

As shown in FIG. 41 (b), the small hit variation (2) of the second special figure is started during the loss fluctuation (4) of the first special figure and becomes a simultaneous fluctuation, and the loss fluctuation ( 4) is completed, and the small symbol variation (2) of the second special symbol is finished during the final symbol display (4f) of the lost symbol, and the small bonus symbol confirmation display (2f) is started, and the second special symbol is further displayed. When the confirmation display is finished, the measurement of the confirmation display time of the confirmation display of the lost symbol of the first special figure is interrupted (4t). The final display of the lost symbol is continued.
When the confirmation display (2f) of the second special figure is completed, a small hit game (52) in which only the special electric accessory is activated is started almost simultaneously. When the small hit game is finished, the measurement of the display time for the losing symbol that has been interrupted in the first special figure is resumed. Further, if there is a holding storage of the second special figure, the next variation (6) is started.

According to the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, either the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B is used. When the confirmation display with the symbol indicating the small hit and the confirmation display with the symbol indicating the big hit are finished, the time measurement of the symbol variation or the time measurement of the confirmation display on the other special figure display device is interrupted. In the case of the small hit or the big hit, the same control can be performed. Further, even if the processing in the other special figure display device is changing or in the final display, the same content control such as interrupting the time measurement is sufficient, and the first special figure display device 28A or 2 The processing load of the main controller 40 that controls the special figure display device 28B can be greatly reduced.
In addition, in the special figure display device of either the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B, during the change of the symbol that becomes the big hit and the fixed display of the symbol that becomes the big hit, The fluctuation that is started in the figure display device starts to be lost even if it is a big hit, but if it is a small hit, the small hit fluctuation is performed as it is, and then the small hit is made. Since the winning game is executed, the game is not disadvantageous to the player while avoiding simultaneous big hits of the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

  In addition, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, the fluctuation that becomes a small hit starts in either the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B. Then, if the fluctuation started in the other special figure display device is a big hit, the fluctuation starts as it is, and even if it is a small hit, the fluctuation starts as it is, and the big hit Or, since the small hit does not disappear, it is not a disadvantageous game for the player.

  Furthermore, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, the confirmation display with the symbol indicating the big hit is made on the special figure display device of either the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B. When the special symbol displayed on the other special symbol display device is in the definite display with the symbol indicating the small hit, the big hit and the small hit are stopped by interrupting the measurement of the fixed time. Since it does not occur at the same time, but a small hit also occurs, it is not a disadvantageous game for the player.

  Furthermore, during the simultaneous fluctuation of the first special figure and the second special figure, the symbol indicating the small hit in the special figure display device of either the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B. When the confirmation display is completed, the measurement of the confirmation time is interrupted regardless of whether the special symbol displayed on the other special symbol display device is in the final display of the symbol indicating the big hit or the symbol indicating the big hit. Two small hits or big hits and small hits are not generated at the same time, and small hits or big hits are also generated, so that it is not disadvantageous to the player.

  Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the first and second special-figure display devices 28A and 28B controlled by the main control device 40 display in the same manner during measurement and interruption of measurement in the variable display and final display. Therefore, it is not necessary to place a processing burden on the main control device 40, and the effect symbol display device 21 controlled by the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 determines whether measurement is being performed or measurement is being interrupted. It is possible to suitably notify the player.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the pachinko machines of the first and second embodiments, the common winning opening 25 is operated in both the big hit game and the small hit game. There may be a configuration in which two types are provided: a big winning port for big hits and a big winning port for small hits operating in a small hit game.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, a predetermined number of game balls are enclosed in a pachinko machine base, and the enclosed game balls are launched toward the game area of the game board, and the launched game balls are collected and collected. You may apply to the enclosed pachinko machine which plays a game using a predetermined number of game balls inside by circulating a game ball again.
