Command output to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43, and the first special diagram display device 28A, the second special diagram display device 28B, and the general diagram via the symbol display device relay terminal board 533. Display control of the display device 29, the first special figure hold number display device 281, the second special figure hold number display device 282, the general figure hold number display device 291 and the like is performed.

Further, the main control device 40 is connected to a big prize opening solenoid 510, a shutter solenoid 511, and a universal utility solenoid 512 through a game board relay terminal board 531. Then, the special winning opening solenoid 510 is controlled to open the special winning opening 250, and the shutter solenoid 511 is controlled to open the special area 26. Further, the electric utility solenoid 512 is controlled to open and close the electric utility at the second special figure starting port 24.
An output signal from the main control device 40 is output to a test signal terminal, and a management signal such as symbol variation and jackpot is sent to the hall computer 500 through the external connection terminal plate 38.
The main control device 40 and the payout control device 41 are capable of bidirectional communication.

  The payout control device 41 uses a back SW relay terminal plate 530 and a payout relay terminal plate 534 to detect that the ball tank has become empty, and a payout SW522 that detects that a game ball has been paid out. A detection signal such as a full SW 523 for detecting that the game ball storage tray is full is input. Further, the payout motor 521 is operated in accordance with a command sent from the main controller 40 to pay out the game ball. Further, the CR unit CR is electrically connected to the CR unit CR via the CR unit terminal plate 535, and the ball rental and settlement SW 171 and 172 request signals for settlement and settlement are received via the settlement display device 173. Data is sent and received, and the payout motor 521 is operated in accordance with the loan request signal to pay out the rental balls, and the balance display of the prepaid card inserted in the CR unit CR is controlled.

  The firing control device 44 receives detection signals such as a switch 524 that detects a rotation operation of the firing handle, a firing stop SW 525, and a touch SW 526 that detects that the player is in contact (operating) with the firing handle 14. Based on a command sent from the main control device 40 via the payout control device 41 (which reflects the signal of the touch SW 526 and the game situation), the rotation signal of the firing handle 14 (524), and the signal of the firing stop SW 525. The launch motor 527 is controlled to launch and stop the game ball.

The sub integrated control device 42 is input with operation signals such as a volume control SW, a game SW 528 for detecting an operation of the game button 15 and the jog dial 16.
Then, the sub integrated control device 42 drives the speaker 112 to output sound, and controls lighting and extinguishing of various LEDs and various lamps 113. Further, a pseudo effect for displaying a character or the like and a command for displaying a pseudo symbol of the first special figure or the second special figure are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43.

  The effect symbol control device 43 constitutes the effect symbol display device 21 together with the LCD panel unit and the accessory unit. The effect symbol control device 43 controls the display of the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 21 in accordance with a command sent from the sub integrated control device 42.

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.
On the other hand, the first special figure starting port 23 can always aim at entering.

  When there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23, a random number is extracted due to this, and whether or not the first special figure is correct is determined based on the value of the random number. Further, when there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 24, a random number is extracted due to this, and whether or not the second special figure is correct is determined based on the value of the random number. Further, in accordance with the determination of the first or second special figure, the symbol fluctuation of the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B and the effect symbol display device 21 is started. If the determination result of the special figure is a big hit, the big hit symbol is determined, the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed on each of the display devices 21, 28A, 28B, and the big hit game (special game) is executed. The effect symbol display device 21 displays a pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the jackpot symbol.

In the big hit game, a round game in which the big prize opening 250 of the big prize winning device 25 is opened in a predetermined release mode (opening time, number of times of opening) and the operation until closing is one round is a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) The basic game is to continue. The round game is also ended when the number of balls entered into the big prize winning device 25 reaches a predetermined number while the big winning opening 250 of the big prize winning device 25 is opened in a predetermined opening manner.
The pachinko machine 1 can shift the gaming state after the big hit game to a probability-changing gaming state in which the winning probability of the big hit is high according to the big hit symbol at the time of the big hit.

There are a plurality of types of opening modes of the big winning opening 250 of the big winning device 25 (hereinafter simply referred to as the opening mode of the big winning device 25). There are prepared those that execute once, those that execute 10-second release twice, and those that execute 28-second release once (see FIG. 12).
Then, in this pachinko machine 1, the big winning opening 250 is opened in the big win game, and the game ball enters the special area 26 provided inside the big win device 25, so that the big win game is finished from the next round game. Until it is done, the open mode of the big prize winning device 25 can be changed.

  In addition, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 becomes a probabilistic gaming state, the winning of the ordinary figure is assumed to be highly probable, the average opening time of the general electric utility is extended, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary figure and special figure is shortened. It is a structure to which a short-time game is also given. Therefore, this pachinko machine 1 makes “left-handed” in the normal game, and aims to win big hits aiming at the first special figure starting port 23. Then, when shifting to jackpot game, “right-handed” is performed, and after shifting to probability variation game, “right-handed” is continued, aiming at the normal operation gate 22 and the second special figure starting port 24, further gaining big hit It aims to.

Note that the probability variation game is continued until the number of fluctuations of the special figure after reaching the probability variation game state by a “probability variation counter” described later reaches a predetermined number of times or a big hit occurs.
Similarly, the time-saving game is continued until the number of fluctuations in the special figure after the shift to the time-saving game state by a “time-time counter” described later reaches a predetermined number of times or a big hit occurs.

Hereinafter, details of the operation will be described based on a program process executed by the main controller 40.
FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of a “main routine” executed by the main controller 40. The “main routine” is composed of this process (S100 to S110, S115) and the remaining process (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 value for determining whether or not the special figure is true, and a special figure big hit symbol determination Random number (random number counter) update processing (S103), normal hit determination random number (random number counter) update processing (S104), reach determination random number (random number counter) update processing related to special figure reach (S105) , Fluctuation pattern determination random number (random number counter) update process (S106), winning confirmation process (S107), success / failure determination process (S108), each output process (S109), fraud monitoring process (S110) And the initial random number update process (S111) is looped within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input.

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.
The “start opening winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 7 is a subroutine executed by the main control device 40. In this process, the winning (winning) at the first and second special figure starting openings 23, 24 is confirmed. The random number values extracted at the time of entering the ball are stored separately for the first special figure and the second special figure respectively.

In the “start opening winning confirmation process”, first, based on the detection signals of the first and second special figure starting SWs 503 and 504, it is confirmed whether or not there is a ball in the first and second special figure starting openings 23 and 24 ( S200). If there is an incoming ball (S200: yes), it is checked whether the number of reserved memories has already reached the upper limit and is not full (S201). The upper limit number that can be stored is four for each of the first special figure and the second special figure. If the hold memory is not full (S201: yes), in the extracted random number hold storage process of S202, a plurality of random number values (a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, A random symbol for determining a lost pattern, a random number for determining a variation pattern, etc.) is extracted and stored as a reserved memory.
In the subsequent processing of S203, the number of lighting of the first special figure hold number display device 281 or the second special figure hold number display device 282 is increased, and the sub-integrated control device 42 indicates the hold number designation command indicating the current hold memory number. Send.

FIG. 8 to FIG. 11 show a flowchart of a special figure “win / fail judgment process” executed by the main controller 40. In this process, the determination of whether or not the first special figure is correct and whether or not the second special figure is determined are executed separately, and when there is a holding of the second special figure, the priority determination of the second special figure is executed with priority. . It should be noted that whether or not the first special figure and the second special figure are determined is almost the same process, and in the following description, the two are distinguished if necessary. Otherwise, the first special figure and the second special figure are distinguished. Instead, simply “special drawing”.
As shown in FIG. 8, the “win / fail determination process” is performed in S300 to check whether a special electric accessory for opening the special winning opening 250 is in operation, and if not in operation (S300: no), In the processing, it is confirmed whether or not the special figure is changing. If it is not changing (S301: no), it is checked whether or not the fixed symbol of the special figure is displayed (S302). In the process of S300, if the special electric accessory is operating (S300: yes), the process proceeds to “special game process”.

If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), it is confirmed in the process of S303 whether there is a second special figure hold memory. If there is a hold memory of the second special figure (S303: yes), the hold memory number of the second special figure is subtracted and a shift process of the hold memory is performed (S304). 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.
If there is no second special figure hold memory in the process of S303 (S303: no), it is confirmed in S305 whether there is a first special figure hold memory. If there is a holding memory of the first special figure (S305: yes), the holding memory number of the first special figure is subtracted, and the holding memory is shifted (S306). 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.
If there is no second special figure hold storage in the process of S305 (S305: no), the process proceeds to "special game process".

After the processing of S304 or S306, as shown in FIG. 9, in S312 processing, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is the certain probability variation gaming state (the probability variation flag is “1”). If there is any change) If the probability change is in progress (S312: yes), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit by comparing the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change with the big hit determination random number of the pending storage to be the target of the success / failure determination (S313).
If the probability change is not in progress (S312: 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 (S314).

In the subsequent process of S315, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of whether or not the process of S313 or S314 is a big hit.
If it is a big hit (S315: yes), in the process of S316, the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved storage that is the object of the determination.
In the process of S317, a variation pattern such as a variation time for a special figure jackpot displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 is determined based on the variation random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved memory that is the object of the determination.

  After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S318. In this process, the opening pattern (opening mode) of the big winning port 250 of the big winning device 25 of the big hit game is set according to the gaming state when the big hit occurs. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, if the gaming state is a normal gaming state (normal probability), the release state is set such that 3 seconds is released five times, and the gaming state is a stochastic gaming state (high probability). For example, it is set to an opening mode in which opening for 10 seconds is executed twice.

  Returning to FIG. 9, in the jackpot setting process of S318, in addition to the setting of the opening pattern, for example, setting of the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, setting of the time of the ending effect, The opening mode of the big prize opening 250, the game state after the end of the big hit game, and the like are set.

  In the process of S315, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S315: no), a change pattern such as a change time for a special figure loss displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 in the process of S319 is determined. In the subsequent lose setting process (S320), if the gaming state is probable change and the time is short, subtraction of the “probability change counter” and the “short time counter” for counting these durations is performed.

  After each setting process of S318 or S320, in the process of S321, the symbol variation start control of the first special symbol or the second special symbol display device 28A, 28B is performed, and the symbol variation start command, the symbol is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. A designated command is transmitted, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”. 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.

  When the special symbol is changing in the process of S301 of FIG. 8 (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 10, when it is confirmed that the symbol change time has passed (S330: yes), the fixed symbol display process In (S331), control is performed to terminate the variation display of the special symbol of the first special symbol or the second special symbol display device 28A, 28B, and the pseudo symbol variation display and the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 are displayed. A symbol confirmation command is transmitted so as to end the effect display, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

If the confirmed symbol of the special figure is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 8 (S302: yes), the process proceeds to S340 of FIG. 11 and it is confirmed whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has ended. If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S340: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S340: yes), the fixed symbol display of the symbols of the first special symbol or the second special symbol display devices 28A and 28B is performed by the finalized symbol display end processing (S341). Control to be ended is performed, and a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 so as to end the fixed display of the pseudo symbol corresponding to the special figure.

  Subsequently, it is confirmed whether the symbol of the special figure is a combination that is a big hit (S342). If the combination is a big hit (S342: yes), if the probability variation flag is “1” (S343: yes), “0” is set to the probability variation flag (S344). Next, if the hour / hour flag is “1” (S345: yes), “0” is set to the hour / hour flag (S346). By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state.

In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S347, 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.
In the subsequent process of S348, the operation of the condition device is started. Further, in the process of S349, 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 to start the big hit effect by the big hit start effect process (S350), and the process proceeds to the “special game process”.

If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S342 (S342: no), it is confirmed in the process of S351 whether the probability variation flag is “1”, and if the probability variation flag is “1” (S351: yes), It is checked whether or not the subtraction result (the number of times of probability variation) of the “accuracy variation counter” is “0” (S352). If it is “0” (S352: yes), the probability variation flag is reset to “0” (S353).
In the subsequent processing of S354, it is confirmed whether or not the hour / hour flag is “1”. If the hour / hour flag is “1” (S354: yes), whether or not the subtraction result (number of hour reductions) is “0”. It is confirmed whether or not (S355). If it is “0” (S355: yes), the time reduction flag is set to “0” (S356).
In the subsequent state designation command transmission processing of S357, 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. Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  As described above, in the “correction determination process”, a plurality of commands are transmitted from the main control device 40 to the sub integrated control device 42. The symbol variation of the effect symbol display device 21 is started by the variation start command in the process of S321. In this case, the variation start designation, the special symbol hold designation, and the symbol designation (special symbol designation) at a slight interval together with the variation start command. ) And a model information designation command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42.

  During symbol variation, the symbol variation is stopped by the symbol confirmation command (stop designation) in S331 and the special symbol is confirmed and displayed. During the confirmation display, information such as a probability change flag and a time reduction flag indicating the gaming state is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 by the state designation command in S356. It should be noted that the state designation command may be transmitted when the special figure is confirmed and displayed, and in the true / false determination process, the state designation command is substantially transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 at the end of the confirmation display.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the “special game process”, first, in the process of S400, it is confirmed whether or not the said accessory continuous operation device is in operation, and if not in operation (S400: no), the process returns. If the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S400: yes), it is checked whether or not the big prize opening 250 of the big prize device 25 is open (during round game) in the process of S401. If it is (S401: yes), it is confirmed whether or not it is during the jackpot game interval in the process of S402, and if it is not during the interval (S402: no), whether or not the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S403. To check. If it is not during the big hit end effect (S403: no), it is checked whether or not the big hit start effect time has elapsed in the processing of S404, and if the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S404: yes), the big of S405 In the winning opening releasing process, the large winning opening 250 is opened in the first round according to the opening pattern, and then the process returns.

  If the grand prize opening is being opened in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is confirmed in the process of S410 whether or not a game ball has been won in the big prize opening 250, and the winning is confirmed. If not (S410: no), the process returns. If the winning can be confirmed (S410: yes), it is confirmed whether or not there is a ball entering the special area 26 in the big winning device 25 in the process of S411. If there is a ball (S411: yes), the process of S412 is performed. “1” is set to an opening mode change F (flag) for changing the opening mode of the big winning device 25.

  Whether or not there is no entry to the special area 26 in the process of S411 (S411: no), or after the process of S412, whether or not there are 10 winnings that are the prescribed number of prizes in the big winning device 25 in the process of S413 Or whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 250 in the process of S414 has ended (opening pattern end), and if either can be confirmed (S413 or S414: yes), the big prize opening in the process of S415 250 is closed and the round game is ended. In the process of S416, 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 big hit interval in the process of S402 in FIG. 13 (S402: yes), it is confirmed whether the big hit interval time has passed in the process of S417 in FIG. 14 and if it has passed (S417: yes), S418. In the process of (2), it is confirmed whether or not the round game before the interval is the final round. If it is not the final round (S418: no), it is confirmed in the process of S419 whether the release mode change F is “1”, and if the flag is “1” (S419: yes), in the process of S420, the next The opening mode of the big winning device 25 from the round game to the end of the big hit game is changed from the “open mode A” at the start of the big hit to the new “open mode B”.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is the normal game state (normal probability), the change of the release mode of the big prize device 25 is performed by releasing the special prize opening 250 for 3 seconds five times. The big hit game is started in the “opening mode A”, and when the game ball enters the special area 26, the open mode from the next round game to the end of the big hit game is executed once for 28 seconds of the big winning opening 250. Is changed to “open mode B”.
When the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is a stochastic game state (when the probability is high), the big hit game is started in the “opening mode A” in which the 10-second opening of the big winning opening 250 is executed, and the game ball is moved to the special area 26. , The opening mode from the next round game to the end of the big hit game is changed to the “opening mode B” in which the 28-second opening of the big winning opening 250 is executed once.

Returning to FIG. 14, if the release mode change F is not “1” in the process of S419 (S419: no), the process of continuing the “release mode A” from the start of the big hit is performed in the process of S421.
After the process of S420 or S421, in the process of S422, according to the change of the release mode by the process of S420 or the continuation of the open mode by the process of S421, the special winning opening 250 is opened and the process returns. .

  If it is the final round in the process of S418 (S418: yes), the release mode F is reset to “0” in the process of S423. Next, in the process of S424, a big hit end effect process is executed. In this process, a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the big hit game is ended and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S403 in FIG. 13 (S403: yes), as shown in FIG. 15, it is confirmed whether or not the end time of the jackpot end effect time has elapsed in the process of S430. If it is (S430: yes), the process (S431) for stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is executed, and the process (S432) for stopping the operation of the condition device is executed.

  In the subsequent process of S433, the jackpot setting contents set in the process of S318 are referred to. In the processing from S434 to S441, the gaming state after the big hit game is set according to the contents set in the big hit setting processing in S318. That is, in the process of S434, it is confirmed whether or not the game is shifted to the probability change game state after the big hit game is finished (check the probability change setting flag). When the process is shifted (S434: yes), the number of times of probability change that limits the probability change state in the process of S435 ( (Count value of probability variation counter) is set, and the probability variation flag is set (probability variation flag = 1) in the subsequent processing of S436. If the process does not shift to the probability change gaming state in the process of S434 (S434: no), the probability change flag is reset (the probability change flag = 0) in the process of S437.

Next, in the process of S438, it is confirmed whether or not the short-time gaming state is shifted to after completion of the big hit game (check the short-time setting flag). The number of times (count value of the hour / hour counter) is set, and the hour / hour flag is set (hour / hour flag = 1) in the subsequent processing of S440. If the time-saving gaming state is not entered in the process of S438 (S438: no), the time-shortage flag is reset (time-shortage flag = 0) in the process of S441.
Thereafter, a big hit game end command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 in the process of S442, and information on whether or not the probability change game is a status designation command in the process of S443, whether or not the time-short game Such information is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then return.

  Next, based on FIG. 16, the display mode of the effect display regarding the change of the open mode of the big winning device 25 due to the ball entering the special area 26 in the big hit game will be described. FIG. 16A shows an effect display that suggests entering a special area 26 in a round game of a big hit game. On the display screen of the production symbol display device 21, a round number display 700 indicating the number of round games of the big hit game (seventh round in the example) is displayed on the upper left side, and the pachinko machine is displayed in the center of the display screen. A character display 701 of the main character “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed, and a first comment display 702 that prompts the player to enter the special area 26 is displayed below the character display 701.

  When it is determined that the game ball enters the special area 26 and the open mode of the grand prize winning device 25 is changed to an advantageous open mode, the round number display 700 is displayed as shown in FIG. In the center of the display screen, a 701 of “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi” with a full smile is displayed in the center of the display screen, and in the lower part, the entry to the special area 26 is achieved, and a big hit from the next round game Until the game ends, a second comment display 703 is displayed to indicate that the opening mode of the big winning device 25 is changed to an opening mode that is advantageous for winning a prize ball.

The pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured so that when a game ball enters the special area 26 of the big winning device 25 in the big hit game, the open mode of the big winning device 25 from the next round game to the end of the big hit game is the winning ball. Since it has been changed to an open mode advantageous for acquisition, even during a round game of jackpot game, you can enjoy the game depending on whether or not the game ball enters the special area 26, and when you enter the ball, It is advantageous for the player from the round game, so it is not necessary to make the big hit game monotonous, and it makes the player feel tense, and how to enter the special area is the continuation of the big hit game or the probability change etc. Since it is not related to the provision of a privilege game, the player's profit can be sufficiently secured. Whether or not to enter the special area 26 is also related to the opening / closing operation of the shutter 260, so that the game is more interesting.
Furthermore, since the change of the opening mode of the grand prize winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, the player advances the round game while aiming to enter the special area 26 at an early stage. Can play such a game.

  In this pachinko machine, it is desirable to enable the special area 26 in each round game of the big hit game and change the opening mode of the big winning device 25 by entering the ball, but this is not restrictive, and it is set in advance. The special area 26 may be effective only for a predetermined round game. If it is effective only for a predetermined round game, a point of interest can be provided during the big hit game, and the game can be provided with sharpness.

  Further, in this pachinko machine, the change of the opening mode of the special winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the opening mode is disadvantageous for the player due to the change. But you can. For example, when the game state at the time of the big hit occurrence is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once, and the game ball enters the special area 26, so that The opening mode from the round game to the end of the big hit game is changed to an opening mode in which 3 seconds are released five times. In addition, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is a stochastic game state (at the time of high probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once, and the game ball enters the special area 26, so that The opening mode from the round game to the end of the big hit game is changed to an opening mode in which the 10-second opening is executed twice.

  In the configuration of changing to an unfavorable release mode, as shown in FIG. 17A, an effect display suggesting avoidance of entering the special area 26 in the round game of the big hit game is performed as the effect display regarding the change of the release mode. . On the display screen of the production symbol display device 21, the round number display 700 is displayed, and a character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed at the center of the display screen. A third comment display 704 urging to avoid entering the area 26 is displayed.

  When the game ball has entered the special area 26, as shown in FIG. 17B, the round number display 700 is displayed, and the character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. In addition, there is a ball entering the special area 26 at the lower part, and it shows that the open mode of the big winning device 25 is changed to an open mode unfavorable for winning a prize ball from the next round game to the end of the big hit game. A fourth comment display 705 is performed.

  In this way, according to the configuration that is changed to an unfavorable opening mode, it is possible to demonstrate the game nature such as how to advance the round game while avoiding the entry into the special area 26, and let the grand prize winning device 25 win a prize. However, the game aims to avoid entering the special area 26.

In the present embodiment, as a game condition for generating a big hit, a condition for determining whether or not the first or second special figure is executed as a result of the game ball entering the first or second special figure start opening 23 or 24 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is provided in the big winning device for opening and closing the big winning device for a short time due to the ball entering the starting opening and generating the big hit by operating the condition device. Alternatively, the condition may be a big hit by entering a specific area. That is, the game may be shifted to a big win game according to the conditions, and the open mode of the big prize device may be changed by entering a special area of the big prize device in the big hit game. In this case, the specific area and the special area may be provided separately in the special winning device, or the specific area and the special area may be used in combination.
Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which has the function of the continuation port for continuing a big hit game for the special area | region for changing an opening | release aspect in a big prize apparatus. In this case, it is desirable that the continuation is determined upon entering the first ball and the opening mode is changed upon entering the second ball. Similarly, the special area may be configured to have a function of a probability changing opening for giving a probability changing function after a big hit game.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening mode changed between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state is different, but this is not limiting, and the same opening mode is not distinguished between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. The configuration may be changed to

  Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The pachinko machine of the present embodiment is different from the configuration of the first embodiment in which the opening mode of the big winning device 25 is changed from the next round game to the end of the big hit game by entering the special area 26. The opening mode of only the next round game is changed by entering the ball. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, and the differences will be mainly described.

  As in the first embodiment, the pachinko machine executes the “main routine” (FIG. 6), the “start opening prize confirmation process” (FIG. 7), and the “win / fail determination process” (FIG. 8). Then, the process proceeds to the “special game process” (FIG. 13), and if the big prize opening is being opened in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. Whether or not a game ball has been won is confirmed. If no winning can be confirmed (S450: no), the process returns. If the winning can be confirmed (S450: yes), it is confirmed whether or not there is a ball entering the special area 26 in the big winning device 25 in the process of S451, and if there is a ball (S451: yes), the process of S452 is performed. “1” is set to an opening mode change F (flag) for changing the opening mode of the big prize opening 250.

  Whether or not there is no entry to the special area 26 in the process of S451 (S451: no), or after the process of S452, whether or not there are 10 winnings, which is the prescribed number of prizes, in the grand prize winning device 25 in the process of S453 Or confirming whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 250 in the processing of S454 has ended (opening pattern end), and if either can be confirmed (S453 or S454: yes), the big winning mouth in the processing of S455 250 is closed and the round game is ended. In the process of S456, 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 big hit interval in the process of S402 in FIG. 13 (S402: yes), it is confirmed whether the big hit interval time has passed in the process of S457 of FIG. 18, and if it has passed (S457: yes), In the process of S458, it is confirmed whether or not the round game before the interval is the final round. If it is not the final round (S458: no), it is confirmed in the process of S459 whether the release mode change F is “1”, and if the flag is “1” (S459: yes), the process in S4620 The opening mode of the big winning device 25 of the round game is changed from “opening mode A” from the start of the big hit to a new “opening mode B”.

For example, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the big win game 25 is started in the “open mode A” in which 3 seconds are released five times. When the game ball enters the special area 26, the release mode of the next round game is changed to “open mode B” in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once.
In addition, when the game state at the time of jackpot occurrence is the probability game state (at the time of high probability), the jackpot game is started in the “open mode A” in which the 10-second release is executed twice, and the game ball enters the special area 26. Thus, the release mode in the next round game is changed to “open mode B” in which the 28-second release is executed once.
Thereafter, the release mode change F is reset to “0” in the process of S461.

If the release mode change F is not “1” in the process of S459 (S459: no), the process of continuing the “open mode A” from the start of the big hit is performed in the process of S462.
After the process of S461 or S462, in the process of S463, the opening process of the special winning opening 250 is executed according to the change of the opening mode by the process of S460 or the continuation of the opening mode by the process of S462. .

  If it is the final round in the process of S458 (S458: yes), the process of the big hit end effect is executed in the process of S464, and the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 in this process. Then, the big hit game ends and returns.

  FIG. 19 shows the effect display when it is determined that the game ball enters the special area 26 in the round game of the big hit game and the open mode of the big winning device 25 is changed to an advantageous open mode. On the display screen of the production symbol display device 21, a round-number display 700 is displayed from the start of the round game number of the big hit game (seventh round in the example) on the upper left side, and a full smile is displayed in the center of the display screen. The character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed, and further, the entry to the special area 26 is achieved at the lower part, and the release mode of the next prize winning device 25 of the next round game is the acquisition of the prize ball A fifth comment display 706 is displayed indicating that the mode is changed to an open mode advantageous to the above.

The pachinko machine according to the present embodiment is an open mode that is advantageous for acquiring a winning ball when the game ball enters the special area 26 of the big winning device 25 in the big hit game. As a result, the game can be enjoyed depending on whether or not a game ball enters the special area 26 during the round game of the jackpot game. Since it is advantageous, it is not necessary to make the big hit game monotonous, making the player feel nervous, and whether entering the special area is related to the granting of special games such as continuation of the big hit game or probable change Since it is not a thing, a player's profit can also be secured sufficiently. Whether or not to enter the special area 26 is also related to the opening / closing operation of the shutter 260, so that the game is more interesting.
Furthermore, since the change of the opening mode of the grand prize winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, the player can play a game such as advancing the round game while aiming to enter the special area 26. Can demonstrate.

  In this pachinko machine, it is desirable to enable the special area 26 in each round game of the big hit game and to change the release mode by entering the ball, but not limited to this, the predetermined round game is set in advance. Only the special area 26 may be effective. If it is effective only for a predetermined round game, a point of interest can be provided during the big hit game, and the game can be provided with sharpness.

Further, in this pachinko machine, the change of the opening mode of the special winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the opening mode is disadvantageous for the player due to the change. But you can. For example, when the game state at the time of the big hit occurrence is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once, and the game ball enters the special area 26, so that The opening mode of the round game is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 3 seconds is executed 5 times. In addition, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is a stochastic game state (at the time of high probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once, and the game ball enters the special area 26, so that The opening mode of the round game is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 10 seconds is executed twice.
In this way, according to the configuration that is changed to an unfavorable opening mode, it is possible to demonstrate the game nature such as how to advance the round game while avoiding the entry into the special area 26, and let the grand prize winning device 25 win a prize. However, the game aims to avoid entering the special area 26.

In the present embodiment, as a game condition for generating a big hit, a condition for determining whether or not the first or second special figure is executed as a result of the game ball entering the first or second special figure start opening 23 or 24 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is provided in the big winning device for opening and closing the big winning device for a short time due to the ball entering the starting opening and generating the big hit by operating the condition device. Alternatively, the condition may be a big hit by entering a specific area. That is, the game may be shifted to a big win game according to the conditions, and the open mode of the big prize device may be changed by entering a special area of the big prize device in the big hit game. In this case, the specific area and the special area may be provided separately in the special winning device, or the specific area and the special area may be used in combination.
Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which has the function of the continuation port for continuing a big hit game for the special area | region for changing an opening | release aspect in a big prize apparatus. In this case, it is desirable that the continuation is determined upon entering the first ball and the opening mode is changed upon entering the second ball. Similarly, the special area may be configured to have a function of a probability changing opening for giving a probability changing function after a big hit game.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening mode changed between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state is different, but this is not limiting, and the same opening mode is not distinguished between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. The configuration may be changed to

  Next, a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The pachinko machine according to the present embodiment changes the opening mode of the round game by entering the special area 26 during the round game of the big hit game. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, and the differences will be mainly described.

  As in the first embodiment, the pachinko machine executes the “main routine” (FIG. 6), the “start opening prize confirmation process” (FIG. 7), and the “win / fail determination process” (FIG. 8). Then, the process proceeds to the “special game process” (FIG. 13), and if the big prize opening is being opened in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. Whether or not a game ball has been won is confirmed. If no winning can be confirmed (S450: no), the process returns. If the winning can be confirmed (S470: yes), it is confirmed whether or not there is a ball entering the special area 26 in the big winning device 25 in the process of S471, and if there is a ball (S471: yes), the process of S472 is performed. “1” is set to an opening mode change F (flag) for changing the opening mode of the big prize opening 250.

  In the subsequent process of S473, a process of changing the release mode of the round game big winning device 25 from the “open mode A” at the start of the big hit to a new “open mode B” is performed.

For example, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the big win game 25 is started in the “open mode A” in which 3 seconds are released five times. When the game ball enters the special area 26, the release mode of the next round game is changed to “open mode B” in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once.
In addition, when the game state at the time of jackpot occurrence is the probability game state (at the time of high probability), the jackpot game is started in the “open mode A” in which the 10-second release is executed twice, and the game ball enters the special area 26. Thus, the release mode in the next round game is changed to “open mode B” in which the 28-second release is executed once.

  If there is no entry to the special area 26 in the process of S471 (S471: no), or after the process of S473, whether or not there are 10 winnings that are the prescribed number of prizes in the big winning device 25 in the process of S474 Or confirming whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 250 in the process of S475 has ended (opening pattern end), and if either can be confirmed (S474 or S475: yes), the big prize opening in the process of S476 250 is closed to end the round game, and the opening mode change F is reset to “0” in the process of S477. In step S478, 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 big hit interval in the process of S402 in FIG. 13 (S402: yes), it is checked whether the big hit interval time has passed in the process of S479 of FIG. 20, and if it has passed (S479: yes), In the process of S480, it is confirmed whether or not the round game before the interval is the final round. If it is not the final round (S480: no), in the process of S481, the opening process of the big winning opening 250 is executed according to the “opening mode A” from the start of the big hit, and the process returns. That is, regardless of whether or not the round game release mode is changed by entering the special area 26, the subsequent round game release mode is the open mode at the start of the big hit.

  If it is the final round in the process of S480 (S480: yes), the process of the big hit end effect is executed in the process of S482, and the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 in this process. Then, the big hit game ends and returns.

  FIG. 21 shows an effect display when the game ball enters the special area 26 in the round game of the big hit game and the release mode of the big winning device 25 is changed to an advantageous release mode. On the display screen of the production symbol display device 21, a round-number display 700 is displayed from the start of the round game number of the big hit game (seventh round in the example) on the upper left side, and a full smile is displayed in the center of the display screen. The character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed, and further, the entry to the special area 26 is achieved in the lower part, and the opening mode of the big winning device 25 of the round game is to acquire the prize ball. A sixth comment display 707 is displayed to indicate that the opening mode has been changed to an advantageous opening time.

In the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the special area 26 of the big winning device 25 in the big hit game, the opening mode of the big winning device 25 of this round game is changed to an open mode that is advantageous for acquiring the winning ball. Since the game is changed, it is possible to enjoy the game depending on whether or not the game ball enters the special area 26 even during the round game of the jackpot game, and this round game is advantageous to the player when entering the ball. As a result, it is not necessary to make the big hit game monotonous, making the player feel nervous, and whether entering the special area is not related to the bonus game such as continuation of the big hit game or probability change Therefore, the player's profit can be sufficiently secured. Whether or not to enter the special area 26 is also related to the opening / closing operation of the shutter 260, so that the game is more interesting.
In addition, since the change of the opening mode of the big winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, the player can play a game such as proceeding with the round game while aiming to enter the special area 26. it can.

  In this pachinko machine, it is desirable to enable the special area 26 in each round game of the big hit game and to change the release mode by entering the ball, but not limited to this, the predetermined round game is set in advance. Only the special area 26 may be effective. If it is effective only for a predetermined round game, a point of interest can be provided during the big hit game, and a sharpness can be provided in the game.

Further, in this pachinko machine, the change of the opening mode of the special winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the opening mode is disadvantageous for the player due to the change. But you can. For example, when the game state at the time of the big hit occurrence is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once, and the game ball enters the special area 26, so that The opening mode of the round game is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 3 seconds is executed 5 times. In addition, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is a stochastic game state (at the time of high probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once, and the game ball enters the special area 26, so that The opening mode of the round game is changed to the opening mode B in which the 10-second opening is executed twice.
In this way, according to the configuration that is changed to an unfavorable opening mode, it is possible to demonstrate the game nature such as how to advance the round game while avoiding the entry into the special area 26, and let the grand prize winning device 25 win a prize. However, the game aims to avoid entering the special area 26.

In the present embodiment, as a game condition for generating a big hit, a condition for determining whether or not the first or second special figure is executed as a result of the game ball entering the first or second special figure start opening 23 or 24 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is provided in the big winning device for opening and closing the big winning device for a short time due to the ball entering the starting opening and generating the big hit by operating the condition device. Alternatively, the condition may be a big hit by entering a specific area. That is, the game may be shifted to a big win game according to the conditions, and the open mode of the big prize device may be changed by entering a special area of the big prize device in the big hit game. In this case, the specific area and the special area may be provided separately in the special winning device, or the specific area and the special area may be used in combination.
Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which has the function of the continuation port for continuing a big hit game for the special area | region for changing an opening | release aspect in a big prize apparatus. In this case, it is desirable to change the release mode upon entering the first ball and confirm the continuation upon entering the second ball. Similarly, the special area may be configured to have a function of a probability changing opening for giving a probability changing function after a big hit game.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening mode changed between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state is different, but this is not limiting, and the same opening mode is not distinguished between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. The configuration may be changed to

  Next, a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The pachinko machine of the present embodiment changes the opening mode of the next jackpot game by entering the special area 26 during the round game of the jackpot game. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, and the differences will be mainly described.

In the pachinko machine, as in the first embodiment, the “main routine” (FIG. 6) and the “start opening winning confirmation process” (FIG. 7) are executed, and the “win / fail determination process” (FIG. 8) is executed. ), And after the process of S304 or S306, as shown in FIG. 22, in S360, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is the certain probability variation gaming state (probability variation flag). If it is “1”, it is changing.) If the probability change is in progress (S360: yes), the success / failure determination table at the time of the probability change is compared with the jackpot determination random number of the stored storage that is the target of the success / failure determination to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S361).
If the probability change is not in progress (S360: no), whether or not it is a big hit is determined by comparing the normal probability (low probability) hit determination table with the big hit determination random number (S362).

In the subsequent process of S363, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of whether or not the process of S361 or S362 is a big hit.
If it is a big hit (S363: yes), in the process of S364, a big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination.
In the process of S365, based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the reserved memory that is the object of the determination of success / failure, a fluctuation pattern such as a fluctuation time for jackpot of special figure displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 is determined.

  After determining the variation pattern, it is checked whether the release mode change F is “1” in the process of S366. If the flag is not “1” (S366: no), the game at the time of the big hit occurs in the process of S367. Depending on the state, the opening mode (opening pattern) of the big winning device 25 for jackpot game is set to the opening mode A. For example, if the gaming state is a normal gaming state (normal probability), the release mode of the round game is set to an opening mode in which 3 seconds are released five times, and if the gaming state is a probability gaming state (high probability) It is set to the release mode in which the 10-second release is executed twice.

  In the jackpot setting process of S318, in addition to the setting of the opening pattern, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed in the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the ending effect, the winning device 25 The release mode, the game state after the end of the big hit game, and the like are set.

  If the release mode change F is “1” in the process of S366 (S366: yes), in the process of S368, the open mode (open) of the big winning game 25 according to the gaming state when the big hit occurs Pattern) is set to open mode B. For example, if the gaming state is a normal gaming state (normal probability), the release mode of the round game is set to an opening mode in which the opening for 28 seconds is executed once, and if the gaming state is a probability gaming state (high probability). It is set to the release mode in which the 10-second release is executed twice.

  In the jackpot setting process of S368, in addition to the setting of the opening pattern, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed on the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the ending effect, after the end of the jackpot game The game state and the like are set.

  In the process of S363, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S363: no), a change pattern such as a change time for a special figure loss displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 in the process of S370 is determined. In the subsequent lose setting process (S371), if the gaming state is probable change and time is short, subtraction of the “probability change counter” and “time reduction counter” for counting these durations is performed.

  After the setting process of S367 or S368 or S371, in the process of S369, the first special figure or the second special figure display devices 28A and 28B are subjected to symbol variation start control, and the symbol variation start command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42. The symbol designation command is transmitted, and the process proceeds to “special game processing”. 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.

  Next, as in the first embodiment, the process proceeds to the “special game process” (FIG. 13). If the special winning opening is open in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. In addition, in the process of S500, it is confirmed whether or not a game ball has been won in the big winning opening 250. If no winning is confirmed (S500: no), the process returns. If the winning can be confirmed (S500: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S501 whether or not the special area 26 in the large winning device 25 has been entered. If there is a winning (S501: yes), the process of S502 is performed. “1” is set in the opening mode change F (flag) for changing the opening mode of the big winning device 25.

  Whether or not there is no entry to the special area 26 in the process of S501 (S501: no), or after the process of S502, whether or not there are 10 winnings, which is the prescribed number of prizes, in the large winning device 25 in the process of S503 Or whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 250 in the process of S504 has ended (opening pattern end), and if either can be confirmed (S503 or S504: yes), the big prize opening in the process of S505 250 is closed and the round game is ended. In the process of S506, 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 big hit interval in the process of S402 in FIG. 13 (S402: yes), it is checked whether the big hit interval time has passed in the process of S507 of FIG. 23, and if it has passed (S507: yes), In the processing of S508, it is confirmed whether or not the round game before the interval is the final round. If it is not the final round (S508: no), in the process of S509, the process of opening the winning prize opening 250 is executed according to the process of S367 or the opening mode set in the process of S368, and the process returns.

  If it is the last round in the process of S508 (S508: yes), the process of the big hit end effect is executed in the process of S510, and the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 in this process. Then, the big hit game ends and returns.

  FIG. 24A shows a case where a game ball enters the special area 26 in a round game of the big hit game, and it is determined that the release mode of the next big hit game big winning device 25 is changed to an advantageous release mode. The effect display is shown. On the display screen of the production symbol display device 21, a round-number display 700 is displayed from the start of the round game number of the big hit game (seventh round in the example) on the upper left side, and a full smile is displayed in the center of the display screen. The character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed, and further, the entry into the special area 26 is achieved at the lower part, and the release mode of the next big hit game 25 winning device 25 wins the winning ball A seventh comment display 708 indicating that the opening mode is changed to an advantageous opening mode is performed.

FIG. 24B shows an effect display at the time of pseudo symbol change after it is determined that the opening mode of the next big hit game big winning device 25 is changed to an advantageous opening mode. On the display screen of the production symbol display device 21, a character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Kumano” with a full smile is displayed on the upper right side of the production symbol display device 21, and a pseudo production symbol consisting of a three-digit number is displayed at the center of the display screen.

In this way, by displaying the character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Bear” with a full smile, it is suggested that the player will be advantageous in the release mode of the big winning device 25 for the next jackpot game. .
The reserved memory number effect display 710 can indicate eight reserved memories including the first and second special drawings (in the example shown, there are seven reserved memories). It is desirable to perform a pre-reading effect indicating that there is a possibility of reaching or a big hit in the hold memory by pre-reading.

In the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the special area 26 of the big winning device 25 in the big hit game, the opening mode of the big winning device 25 of the next big hit game is advantageous for the acquisition of the winning ball. Therefore, even during the round game of the big hit game, the game can be enjoyed depending on whether or not the game ball enters the special area 26, so that the big hit game is not made monotonous. The player's profits can be sufficiently ensured because the player has a sense of tension and is not involved in the bonus game such as the continuation of the big hit game or the probability change in the special area. Whether or not to enter the special area 26 is also related to the opening / closing operation of the shutter 260, so that the game is more interesting.
Furthermore, since the change of the opening mode of the grand prize winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, the player can play a game such as advancing the round game while aiming to enter the special area 26. Can demonstrate.

  In this pachinko machine, it is desirable to enable the special area 26 in each round game of the big hit game and to change the release mode by entering the ball, but not limited to this, the predetermined round game is set in advance. Only the special area 26 may be effective. If it is effective only for a predetermined round game, a point of interest can be provided during the big hit game, and a sharpness can be provided in the game.

Moreover, in this pachinko machine, the change of the opening mode of the next big hit game 25 winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, but is not limited to this, and the change causes a disadvantage to the player. The structure which makes it an open aspect may be sufficient. For example, before the change of the release mode in which the game state at the time of the big hit occurrence is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the release mode is such that the 28-second release is executed once. Is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 3 seconds is executed five times. In addition, before the game state at the time of the big hit occurrence is changed to the stochastic game state (at the time of high probability), the release mode is such that the 28-second release is executed once, and the next big hit game is released by entering the special area 26. The aspect is configured to change to the opening aspect B in which the 10-second opening is executed twice.
In this way, according to the configuration that is changed to an unfavorable opening mode, it is possible to demonstrate the game nature such as how to advance the round game while avoiding the entry into the special area 26, and let the grand prize winning device 25 win a prize. However, the game aims to avoid entering the special area 26.

In the present embodiment, as a game condition for generating a big hit, a condition for determining whether or not the first or second special figure is executed as a result of the game ball entering the first or second special figure start opening 23 or 24 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the inside of the big winning device is used to open and close the big winning device in a short-time opening mode due to the ball entering the starting port and to operate the condition device to generate a big hit. It may be a condition that makes a big hit by entering a specific area. That is, the game may be shifted to a big win game according to the conditions, and the open mode of the big prize device may be changed by entering a special area of the big prize device in the big hit game. In this case, the specific area and the special area may be provided separately in the special winning device, or the specific area and the special area may be used in combination.
Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which has the function of the continuation port for continuing a big hit game for the special area | region for changing an opening | release aspect in a big prize apparatus. In this case, it is desirable that the continuation is determined upon entering the first ball and the opening mode is changed upon entering the second ball. Similarly, the special area may be configured to have a function of a probability changing opening for giving a probability changing function after a big hit game.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the opening mode changed between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state is different, but this is not limiting, and the same opening mode is not distinguished between the normal gaming state and the probability variation gaming state. The configuration may be changed to

  Next, a fifth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The pachinko machine of the present embodiment changes the opening mode of the big winning device 25 from the next round game to the end of the big winning game according to the number of game balls entered into the special area 26 of the big winning device 25 during the big hit game. Is. The basic configuration of the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, and the differences will be mainly described.

  As in the first embodiment, the pachinko machine executes the “main routine” (FIG. 6), the “start opening prize confirmation process” (FIG. 7), and the “win / fail determination process” (FIG. 8). Then, the process proceeds to the “special game process” (FIG. 13), and if the big hit game interval is in the process of S402 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 25, the big hit interval time in the process of S520. It is confirmed whether it has elapsed, and if it has elapsed (S520: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the round game before the interval is the final round in the process of S521. If it is not the final round (S521: no), it is checked whether the release mode change F for changing the release mode is “1” in the processing of S522, and the flag is not “1” (S522: no). In the process of S523, a process of continuing the “open mode A” from the start of the big hit is performed.

  If the release mode change F is “1” in the process of S522 (S522: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of balls entering the special area 26 is “2” in the process of S524. If the number of entered balls is “2” (S524: yes), in the process of S525, a process of changing the release mode of the big winning device 25 from the next round game to “open mode C” is performed.

  If the number of balls entering the special area 26 is not “2” in the process of S524 (S524: no), it is confirmed whether the number of balls entering the special area 26 is “3” in the process of S526. . If the number of entered balls is “3” (S526: yes), in the process of S527, a process of changing the release mode of the big winning device 25 from the next round game to “open mode D” is performed.

  If the number of balls entered into the special area 26 is not “3” in the process of S526 (S524: no), the release mode of the big winning device 25 from the next round game is “open mode B” in the process of S528. Process to change to.

  In this way, in the big hit game, if there is no entry into the special area 26, the “opening mode A” from the start of the big hit is continued, and if there is one entry into the special area 26, it is changed to the “opening mode B”. Further, the number of balls entered into the special area 26 during the big hit game is accumulated, and when the number of balls entered becomes two, it is changed to “open mode C”, and further, the number of balls entered into the special area 26 is three. Then, it is changed to “open mode D”.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26A, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the change in the release mode of the big winning device 25 is performed by releasing the 3 seconds 5 times. In the “Aspect A”, the big hit game is started, and one game ball enters the special area 26, so that the release mode from the next round game is changed to “Open mode B” in which the 5-second release is executed three times. Further, when the number of balls entering the special area 26 becomes two, the opening mode from the next round game is changed to “opening mode C” in which the opening for 10 seconds is performed twice, and the ball entering the special area 26 is also changed. When the number reaches three, the release mode from the next round game is changed to “open mode D” in which the 28-second release is executed once.

  In addition, when the game state at the time of jackpot occurrence is the probability game state (at the time of high probability), the jackpot game is started in the “open mode A” in which the 10-second release is executed twice, and the game ball enters the special area 26. Thus, the release mode from the next round game is changed to “open mode B” in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once. Note that the “opening mode C” corresponding to two pitches and the “opening mode D” corresponding to three pitches are executed once for 28 seconds as in the “opening mode B”. In the stochastic gaming state, the most advantageous opening mode is changed by one entry into the special area 26.

  Returning to FIG. 25, after the process of S523 or S525 or S527 or S528, in the process of S529, the release mode is continued by the process of S523, or any of S525, S527, or S528. In response to the change of the opening mode by this process, the opening process of the special winning opening 250 is executed and the process returns.

  If it is the final round in the process of S521 (S521: yes), the release mode F is reset to “0” in the process of S530. Next, in the process of S531, a big hit end effect process is executed. In this process, a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the big hit game is ended and the process returns.

  As a display mode of the effect display of this pachinko machine, when it is determined that the game ball enters the special area 26 and the open mode of the big winning device 25 is changed to an advantageous open mode, as shown in FIG. In addition, the round number display 700 is displayed on the upper left side of the display screen of the production symbol display device 21, and the character display 701 of “Tatsuyoshi Bear” with a full smile is displayed at the center of the display screen. It is desirable to display the number of incoming balls 711 indicating the number of incoming balls to the special area 26 at the lower part.

The pachinko machine of the present embodiment can enjoy the game depending on whether or not the game ball enters the special area 26 even during the round game of the big hit game due to the same effect as the first embodiment. When you enter the ball, it will be advantageous to the player from the next round game, so you can avoid making the big hit game monotonous, making the player feel nervous and how to enter the special area is a big hit game Therefore, the player's profits can be sufficiently secured. Furthermore, since the release mode is made different according to the number of balls entered into the special area 26 (cumulative number) during the big hit game, the player is interested in how many balls have entered the special area 26, and the big hit game is The image that it is monotonous can be wiped out. Furthermore, whether or not to enter the special area 26 is also related to the opening / closing operation of the shutter 260, so that the game is more interesting.
Since the change of the opening mode of the grand prize winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is advantageous to the player, the player can advance the round game while aiming to enter the special area 26 at an early stage. Can be demonstrated.

  In this pachinko machine, it is desirable to enable the special area 26 in each round game of the big hit game and to change the release mode by entering the ball, but not limited to this, the predetermined round game is set in advance. Only the special area 26 may be effective. If it is effective only for a predetermined round game, a point of interest can be provided during the big hit game, and a sharpness can be provided in the game.

Moreover, in this pachinko machine, the change of the opening mode of the big winning device 25 is a change to the opening mode that is more advantageous for the player when the number of balls entered into the special area 26 is increased, but this is not restrictive. Absent.
As shown in FIG. 26B, for example, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the 28-second release is executed once, and the special area 26 is entered. When one game ball enters, the release mode from the next round game is changed to an open mode in which the 10-second release is executed twice, and when the number of balls entering the special area 26 becomes two, the release mode Is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 5 seconds is performed three times, and when the number of balls entering the special area 26 is three, the opening mode is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 28 seconds is performed once. In the middle of accumulating the number of entered balls, the game may be changed to an open mode that is disadvantageous to the player, and may be changed to an advantageous open mode when the accumulated number of entered balls reaches the limit.
When the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is a stochastic game state (at the time of high probability), the big hit game is started in the release mode in which the 10-second release is executed twice, and the game ball enters the special area 26 to be released. It is desirable to change the mode to an open mode in which the 28-second open is executed once.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), for example, when the game state at the time of occurrence of the big hit is the normal game state (at the normal probability), the release mode is changed to an advantageous release mode for the player as the number of entering the special area 26 increases. On the other hand, if the game state at the time of jackpot occurrence is a probabilistic game state (at the time of high probability), the jackpot game is started in an open mode in which the release for 28 seconds is executed once, and one game ball enters the special area 26 The opening mode is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 10 seconds is executed twice, and when the number of balls entering the special area 26 is two, the opening mode is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 5 seconds is executed three times. Furthermore, when the number of balls entered into the special area 26 becomes 3, the opening mode is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 3 seconds is executed 5 times. You may make it do.

In the present embodiment, as a game condition for generating a big hit, a condition for determining whether or not the first or second special figure is executed as a result of the game ball entering the first or second special figure start opening 23 or 24 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is provided in the big winning device for opening and closing the big winning device for a short time due to the ball entering the starting opening and generating the big hit by operating the condition device. Alternatively, the condition may be a big hit by entering a specific area. That is, the game may be shifted to a big win game according to the conditions, and the open mode of the big prize device may be changed by entering a special area of the big prize device in the big hit game. In this case, the specific area and the special area may be provided separately in the special winning device, or the specific area and the special area may be used in combination.
Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which has the function of the continuation port for continuing a big hit game for the special area | region for changing an opening | release aspect in a big prize apparatus. In this case, it is desirable that the continuation is determined upon entering the first ball and the opening mode is changed upon entering the second ball. Similarly, the special area may be configured to have a function of a probability changing opening for giving a probability changing function after a big hit game.

When no ball is entered in any of the special areas 26B, both the first big winning device 25A and the second big winning device 25B are in an opening mode in which the 3 seconds opening is executed five times.
When one game ball enters the first special area 26A, the release mode of the first and second big winning devices 25A, 25B from the next round game is released once for 28 seconds. It is changed to a mode. In addition, even if the number of balls entering the first special area 26A becomes two, the opening mode in which the opening for 28 seconds is executed once is continued.
On the other hand, when one game ball enters the second special area 26B, the release mode of both large winning devices 25A and 25B from the next round game is changed to an open mode in which the 10-second release is executed twice. Further, when the number of balls entered into the second special area 26B becomes two, the opening mode of both large winning devices 25A, 25B from the next round game is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 28 seconds is executed once. It is.

Further, as another modification of the first and second large winning devices 25A and 25B, the number of balls entered into the special areas 26A and 26B, the number of balls entered, and the balls entered into the special areas 26A and 26B. And the structure which changes an opening aspect according to the number of entering balls may be sufficient.
For example, as in the modified example shown in FIG. 28 (b), when the big hit game is started and when the player has not entered either the first special area 26A or the second special area 26B, both big prizes are won. The opening mode of the devices 25A and 25B is an opening mode in which the opening for 3 seconds is executed five times.
And when one game ball enters the first special area 26A, the release mode of both large winning devices 25A, 25B from the next round game is changed to an open mode in which the 10-second release is executed twice, Further, when the number of balls entering the first special area 26A becomes two, it is changed to an opening mode in which the opening for 28 seconds is executed once.
On the other hand, when one game ball enters the second special area 26B, the release mode of both large winning devices 25A and 25B from the next round game is changed to an open mode in which the 5-second release is executed three times. Furthermore, when the number of balls entered into the second special area 26B becomes two, the two big winning devices 25A, 25B opening mode from the next round game is changed to an opening mode in which the 10-second opening is executed twice.
Furthermore, when one game ball enters each special area 26A, 26B, the open mode of both large winning devices 25A, 25B from the next round game is changed to an open mode in which a 28-second open is executed once. Is done. In addition, even if the number of entering into both the special areas 26A and 26B becomes two each, it is good also as a structure by which the open | release aspect which performs 28 second opening once is continued.

The pachinko machine of the present embodiment has the same effects as the sixth embodiment, and the first special area 26A of the first big winning device 25A and the second big winning device 25B are also during the round game of the big hit game. The game can be enjoyed depending on whether or not a game ball enters the second special area 26B of the game, and if it enters the game, it will be advantageous to the player from the next round game, so the big hit game is monotonous. It is possible to secure a sufficient profit for the player because there is no tension, and the player has a sense of tension, and the entry into the special area is not related to the continuation of the big hit game or the granting of special games such as probability change. . In addition, it is possible to pay attention to which of the plurality of special areas is entered, and to dispel the image that the big hit game is monotonous.
In addition, since the change of the open mode of both large winning devices 25A and 25B is a change to the open mode that is advantageous to the player, the player can use the first special area 26A and the second special area at an early stage. It is possible to exhibit a game such as advancing round games while aiming to enter 26B.
