Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine having a function (limiter function) for returning to a normal gaming state when a gaming state in which a big hit is easily obtained continues for a predetermined period.

  In the conventional pachinko machine, when the launched game ball enters the start opening, a random value is acquired, and depending on whether or not the acquired random value is a predetermined value, a big hit gaming state advantageous to the player To determine whether or not to generate

  The game state has a higher probability than the probability of winning in the normal probability gaming state where the probability of winning is low by the lottery of whether or not to generate the big hit gaming state, the normal probability gaming state where the probability variation function is activated There are gaming states such as a high probability gaming state, and an open extended state in which the opening time of the blades provided at the start port is extended. Note that the open extended state occurs in both the normal probability gaming state and the high probability gaming state.

  For pachinko machines that transition to a high-probability gaming state after the jackpot game ends, in order to suppress the occurrence of an excessive jackpot game, the pachinko machine operates when the jackpot game that transitions to the high-probability gaming state continues after the jackpot game ends. Some have a “limiter function” (Patent Document 1).

  In addition to the pachinko machines mentioned above, the number of continuous operation of the probability variation function (the jackpot symbol that shifts to the normal probability gaming state across the jackpot game is displayed with a special symbol twice after the jackpot game that shifts to the high probability gaming state) (A configuration in which a high-probability gaming state continues even if the game is performed) has a “limiter function” that operates when a predetermined number of times is reached (Patent Document 2)

  As described above, there are operating conditions for the `` limiter function '' such as the number of times that the big hit game has continued or the case where the game state continues, and when the `` limiter function '' reaches a predetermined number of times (the number of limiters) Even if a special symbol that shifts to the high probability gaming state after the game ends is confirmed and displayed, the game does not shift to the high probability gaming state after the jackpot game ends and returns to the normal probability gaming state.

  Also, when the limiter function is activated, if the limiter is not activated, it is given after the end of the big hit game by the limiter operation depending on whether or not the big hit game which shifts to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game is finished is executed. There is one in which the number of time reductions is different (Patent Document 3).

However, in this embodiment, the launch controller 84 is not provided with a CPU, ROM, or RAM. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the launch control device 84 may be provided with a CPU, ROM, RAM, and the like.

The power supply board 85 is configured to generate a backup power supply by a backup power supply generation circuit including a capacitor, and the backup power supply is supplied to the RAM of the main controller 80. As a result, the RAM of the main controller 80 can be backed up, and after the power supply to the pachinko machine 50 is stopped, the contents of the RAM of the main controller 80 immediately before the power supply is stopped for a certain time (for example, The game state of the pachinko machine 50 is held.
On the other hand, since the backup power generated by the power supply board 85 of this embodiment is not supplied to the sub integrated control device 83, it is held in the RAM of the sub integrated control device 83 after the power supply to the pachinko machine 50 is stopped. The game history information, the total number of points acquired, the setting information of the production contents, and the number of times of transition to the member game mode from the time when the pachinko machine 50 described later is turned on until the power supply is stopped are cleared. Therefore, in the RAM of the sub integrated control device 83 when the pachinko machine 50 is turned on, the above-described game history information, the total number of points acquired, the setting information of the production contents, and when the pachinko machine 50 described later is turned on. The content such as the number of times of transition to the member game mode from when the power supply is stopped until the power supply is stopped is not held.

  The power supply board 85 described above generates a backup power supply by the backup power supply generation circuit and does not supply the backup power supply. The main control device 80 generates the backup power supply by the backup power supply generation circuit including the capacitor. However, it may be configured to supply backup power.

  The main controller 80 includes a first start port switch 11a that detects a game ball that has entered the first start port 11, a second start port switch 12a that detects a game ball that has entered the second start port 12, and a normal A normal symbol operation switch 17a for detecting a game ball that has entered the gate 17 that activates the symbol, a count switch 14a for counting the game balls that have entered the big winning port 14, a first left winning port 31, a second left winning game Detection signals such as a left winning port switch 31a for detecting a game ball that has entered the mouth 32, the third left winning port 33, and the fourth left winning port 34 are input.

The main control device 80 operates in accordance with the installed program, generates various commands related to the progress of the game based on the above-described detection signals and outputs them to the payout control device 81 and the sub integrated control device 83.
The main controller 80 also displays the first special symbol display device 9, the second special symbol display device 10 and the normal symbol display device 7, which are connected via the symbol display device relay terminal board 90, the first special symbol. The lighting of the number-of-holds display device 18, the second special symbol number-of-holds display device 19, and the normal symbol number-of-holds display device 8 is controlled.

Further, the main controller 80 controls the opening / closing of the special winning opening 14 by controlling the special winning opening solenoid 14b, and controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid (denoted as a general electric accessory solenoid in FIG. 4) 12b. Thus, the opening and closing of the second start port 12 is controlled.
In addition to being output to the test signal terminal, an output signal from the main controller 80 is also output to an external connection terminal 78 for management such as symbol variation and jackpot (also called special game) and sent to the hall main computer. . The main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 can perform bidirectional communication.

  The payout control device 81 operates the payout motor 20 in accordance with a command sent from the main control device 80 and pays out a prize ball. In this embodiment, the detection signal of the payout switch 21 for counting game balls to be paid out as prize balls is input to the payout control device 81, and the payout control device 81 counts the prize balls. In addition, it is also conceivable to use a configuration in which the detection signal of the payout switch 21 is input to the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 and both the main control device 80 and the payout control device 81 count the prize balls.

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

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

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

The launch control device 84 controls the launch motor 30 to launch the game ball into the game area 4. In addition to the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84 receives a rotation amount signal from the launch handle 64, a touch signal from the touch switch 28, and a launch stop signal from the launch stop switch 29.
The rotation amount signal is output when the player operates the launch handle 64, the touch signal is output when the player touches the launch handle 64, and the launch stop switch signal is output by the player pressing the launch stop switch 29. Is output. If the touch signal is not input to the firing control device 84, the game ball cannot be fired. If the fire stop switch signal is input, the game ball cannot be fired even if the player touches the launch handle 64. It is like that.

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

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

  A main routine controlled by the main controller 80 will be described with reference to FIG. In the “main routine”, when a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. As a case where the interruption is not normal, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when power is turned on, but microcomputer runaway may be considered to be almost impossible due to recent technological improvements, and is mostly at power on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  When S10 is negative, that is, when it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial settings (for example, a predetermined value is written to a predetermined area of the memory, a special symbol and a normal symbol are used as initial symbols, etc.) Each initial value is written into the work area of the memory) (S15), and the process proceeds to a residual process (initial random number update process (S75)).

  When an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (S10: yes), initial value random number update processing (S20), big hit determination random number update processing (S25), big hit symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), big hit symbol determination Random number 2 update processing (S35), hit determination random number update processing (S40), reach determination random number update processing (S45), and variation pattern determination random number update processing (S50) are performed.

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S55), winning in the first starting port 11, the second starting port 12, entering the gate 17, and each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80. The input process is executed. Subsequently, an output determination (S60), output processing such as image output processing (S65), and fraud monitoring processing (S70) are performed, and an initial random number is updated within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The process (S75) is looped.

  The winning confirmation process in S55 is as shown in FIG. 6, and the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port 11 based on the detection signal of the first starting port switch 11a. Judgment is made (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number 1, the jackpot symbol determination random number 2, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first It is determined whether or not the reserved storage is less than the upper limit number (four in this embodiment) (S105).

  When the number of the first reserved memory is less than the upper limit number (S105: yes), each random number is stored as the first reserved memory, and the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1. (S110). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S115. If the first reserved memory is not already less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) (S105: no), the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased without storing the reserved memory. The process proceeds to S130 soon.

  Subsequent to S110, the prefetch determination of the stored first reserved memory is performed (S115). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit is a value that causes the big hit, and if it is the big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, it is confirmed whether or not the reach determination random number is a value that becomes super reach. If it is not a super reach, it is confirmed whether or not it is a reach value, and the variation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern. By performing the above determination, it is confirmed whether or not the random number stored on hold is a specific value that the player can expect to win a jackpot (whether or not a stage can be expected to win a jackpot).

  Subsequently, based on the determination result of S115, a first prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S120), and then the first hold number instruction command indicating the value of the added first hold memory counter is added. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125). Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number instruction command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the first hold memory.

  Even when it is determined that no game ball has entered the first start port 11 (S100: no), the process proceeds to S130, and a game is applied to the second start port 12 based on the detection signal of the second start port switch 12a. It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. If the determination is affirmative (S130: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the number of second reserved memories is the upper limit number ( In this embodiment, it is determined whether the number is less than 4) (S135).

  If the second reserved memory is less than the upper limit number (S135: yes), each random number is stored as the second reserved memory, and the lighting number of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S140). If there are already four second hold memories (S135: no), the second hold is not stored, and the present process is terminated (returned) without increasing the number of lighting of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Moreover, this process is complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 2nd starting port 12 (S130: no).

  Subsequent to S140, the prefetch determination of the stored second reserved storage is performed (S145). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the random number for determining the big hit is a value that causes the big hit, and if it is the big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, it is confirmed whether or not the reach determination random number is a value that becomes super reach. If it is not a super reach, it is confirmed whether or not it is a reach value, and the variation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern. By performing the above determination, it is confirmed whether or not the random number stored on hold is a specific value that the player can expect to win a jackpot (whether or not a stage can be expected to win a jackpot).

  Subsequently, based on the determination result of S145, a second prefetch determination command is generated and transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S150), and a second hold number instruction command indicating the value of the second hold storage counter added in S140. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S155). Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the second reserved number instruction command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the reserved symbol corresponding to the second reserved memory.

  7 to 12 show the success / failure determination process. As shown in FIG. 7, first, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating based on the jackpot flag (S200). If the determination in S200 is negative (S200: no), the special symbol is not changing (S205: no), and if the confirmed symbol is not displayed (S210: no), the process proceeds to S215, and the second hold It is determined whether or not there is a storage (holding storage in S140 described above) (S215). Note that if the determination in S200 is affirmative (S200: yes), this process is terminated (return).

  If there is a second reserved memory (S215: yes), the process proceeds to S225. If there is no second reserved memory (S215: no), it is determined whether there is a first reserved memory (the above-mentioned reserved memory in S110) (S220). If there is a first reserved memory (S220: yes), the process proceeds to a reserved memory shift process (S225). The oldest first or second reserved memory is determined as a result of the determination by the reserved memory shift process, and the first or second reserved memory is decremented. In addition, when there is no 1st holding | maintenance memory | storage (S220: no), it transfers to special game processing as it is. In this embodiment, the determination is made with priority given to the second reserved memory, but the winning order may be simply used, or the determination may be made with priority given to the first reserved memory.

  In S230, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set (that is, 1). Here, the probability variation flag of 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high-probability gaming state (hereinafter also referred to as a probability variation state). If the determination is affirmative (S230: yes), the read big hit determination random number is compared with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S240). And it transfers to S250 of FIG. The hit probability is 1/60. If the determination is negative (S230: no), the read big hit determination random number is compared with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S235). And it transfers to S250 of FIG. The hit probability is 1/300.

  In S250 of FIG. 8, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a big hit based on the determination of S235 or S240 (S250). If it is determined that the big hit (S250: yes), the symbol mode setting process ( In S255), based on the jackpot symbol determining random number 1, the symbol mode for determining the contents of the jackpot game and the game state after the jackpot game is finished (after the game of the big winning opening 14 is finished) is set. In the case of the present embodiment, a symbol mode for determining a first advantageous state consisting of a high probability gaming state and an open extended state (when the open extension function is activated) and a second advantageous state consisting of a normal probability gaming state and an open extended state are provided. Set.

  Subsequent to S255, a jackpot symbol selection process is performed based on the symbol mode type set in S255 and the jackpot symbol determination random number 2 (S260). This is a special display in which a symbol group set for each symbol mode is determined and displayed in order to associate the gaming state after the end of the operation of the big prize opening 14 determined by the symbol mode setting and the type of the jackpot symbol. This is the process of determining the symbol jackpot symbol. In the case of the present embodiment, when the symbol mode for determining the first advantageous state is set, the symbol A or symbol B of the jackpot symbol is selected. When the symbol mode for determining the second advantageous state is set, the symbol C or symbol D of the jackpot symbol is selected.

  Following S260, a mode buffer setting process (S265) is performed based on the symbol mode set in S255. The mode buffer is a device that stores the contents of the game state after the jackpot game is completed (the contents of the symbol mode) determined at the time of determining whether or not the game is successful until the end of the jackpot game for setting the game state (at the end of the special game process). (Because it is necessary to clear the special figure probability change flag and time reduction flag that set the game state during the game). The mode buffer is configured not to store specific game contents but to store values corresponding to specific game contents.

  Subsequent to S265, the process proceeds to S267. In S267, main controller 80 determines whether or not the limiter flag is “0” (S267). When the limiter flag is “0” (S267: yes), in the big hit variation pattern determination process, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S269), and the process proceeds to the first limiter setting process (S270). Then, after proceeding to the second limiter setting process (S275), the process proceeds to S345. If it is determined in S250 that it is off (S250: no), the variation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number (S335). When the variation pattern is set in this way, a loss setting process is performed (S340), and the process proceeds to S345. In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions or the number of times of probability change is positive, -1 is respectively set.

Here, the first limiter setting process (S270) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in S350, main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot symbol selected in S260 is a short-term symbol at the time of probability change (S350). If it is not a short pattern at the time of probability change (S350: no), this process is terminated (returned) as it is. Further, when the symbol is a short-time symbol (S350: yes), the first counter is incremented by “1” (S355), and it is determined in S360 whether the first counter has reached “5”. (S360). Note that the first counter is a counter that counts the number of times that the probability variation time short symbol (giving of the high probability gaming state and the open extension state) is determined by the jackpot symbol selection process (S260). In the present embodiment, symbol A or symbol B corresponds to the probability variation short symbol (see FIG. 17A).
If the first counter has not reached “5” (S360: no), the process directly returns. If the first counter reaches “5” (S360: yes), the first limiter flag is set to “1” (S365), the first counter is set to “0” (S370), and the process returns. It becomes. The first limiter flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is set to “1”, the probability change time-short symbol (granting the first advantageous state) is determined by the big hit symbol selection process (S260). The first limiter that controls the high probability gaming state to continue across the big hit game based on the fact that the count value of the first counter that counts the number of times of the determination of (5) has reached five times is activated. If the value of the first limiter flag is “0”, the count value of the first counter that counts the number of times that the big hit symbol (giving the first advantageous state) is determined by the big hit symbol selection process (S260) is five times. Is not reached.

Next, the second limiter setting process (S275) that is shifted after the first limiter setting process (S270) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, in S400, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot symbol selected in S260 is a short time symbol (giving the first advantageous state) or a short time symbol (giving the second advantageous state) (S400). ). If it is not the probability change time symbol or the time symbol (S400: no), this process is terminated (return). Further, when the probability change time symbol or the time symbol (S400: yes), the set value of the second counter is increased by “1” (S405), and it is determined whether or not the second counter has reached “9”. (S410). The second counter is a counter that counts the number of times that the short-term symbol (giving the first advantageous state) or the short-time symbol (giving the second advantageous state) is determined by the big hit symbol selection process (S260). .
If the second counter has not reached “9” (S410: no), it is determined whether or not the first limiter flag is set to “1” (S415). In the case of negative determination (S415: no), the process returns as it is. If the first limiter flag is set to “1” (S415: yes), the setting value of the second counter is set to “0” (S420), and the process returns. When the set value of the second counter reaches “9” (S410: yes), it is determined whether or not the first limiter flag is set to “1” (S425). When the first limiter flag is set to “1” (S425: yes), the second limiter flag is set to “1” (S430), and the set value of the second counter is set to “0” (S435). ), Return. If the first limiter flag is not set to “1” (S425: no), the second limiter flag is set to “1” (S440), and the first counter is set to “0” (S445). The second counter is set to “0” (S447), and the process returns. The second limiter flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is set to “1”, the probability change time-short symbol (granting the first advantageous state) is determined by the big hit symbol selection process (S260). ) Or the short-term symbol (granting the second advantageous state), the number of times the second counter that counts the number of times selected has reached nine times, and the high probability gaming state continues across the big hit game The second limiter is activated. If the value is “0”, the second counter that counts the number of times that the short-term symbol (giving the first advantageous state) or the time-short symbol (giving the second advantageous state) is selected by the jackpot symbol selection process (S260). The count value has not reached nine times.

  Returning to FIG. When the limiter flag is set to “1” (S267: no), in S280, main controller 80 determines whether or not the first limiter flag and the second limiter flag are set to “1”. Determination is made (S280). When the first limiter flag and the second limiter flag are “1” (S280: yes), in the third variation pattern determination process, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S282), and the third A big hit setting process is performed (S285), and the process proceeds to S287. In the third jackpot setting process, while the first limiter flag and the second limiter flag are set to “1”, based on the symbol selected from symbols A to D by the jackpot symbol selection process (S260). In the process of obtaining information on the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, opening mode of the jackpot 14, the number of short times (100 times) given after the jackpot game is finished), etc. is there. Then, the first limiter flag is set to “0” (S287), the second limiter flag is set to “0” (S290), the first limiter activated flag is set to “1” (S292), and the second limiter is activated. The flag is set to “1” (S295), and the process proceeds to S345. If the values of the first limiter actuated flag and the second limiter actuated flag are set to “1”, the big hit symbol selection process while the first limiter flag and the second limiter flag are set to “1”. Based on the symbol selected from symbols A to D in (S260), the process by the third jackpot setting process is performed.

  When the first limiter flag and the second limiter flag are not set to “1” (S280: no), it is determined whether or not the first limiter flag is set to “1” (S300). In the case of an affirmative determination (S300: yes), in the first variation pattern determination process, a variation pattern is determined using a variation pattern determination random number (S325), a first jackpot setting process is performed (S330), and the process proceeds to S331. Transition. In the first jackpot setting process, information related to the jackpot game based on the symbol selected from symbols A to D by the jackpot symbol selection process (S260) while the first limiter flag is set to "1". (In the process of acquiring the jackpot opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, opening mode of the big prize opening 14, the number of times given after the jackpot game is over (see FIG. 17B), etc.) is there. In S331, main controller 80 sets the first limiter flag to “0” (S331), sets the first limiter activated flag to “1” (S332), and proceeds to S345. If only the value of the first limiter actuated flag is set to “1”, while the first limiter flag is set to “1”, the big hit symbol selection process (S260) causes symbols A to D to be included. That is, the first jackpot setting process is performed based on the selected symbol.

  When the second limiter flag is set to “1” (S300: no), the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number in the second variation pattern determination processing (S305), and the second jackpot setting is performed. Processing is performed (S310), and the process proceeds to S315. In the second jackpot setting process, while the second limiter flag is set to “1”, the jackpot game is applied based on the symbol selected from symbols A to D by the jackpot symbol selection process (S260). Processing to obtain information (such as the jackpot opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, opening mode of the big winning opening 14, number of times given after the jackpot game ends (see FIG. 17C), etc.) It is. In S315, main controller 80 sets the second limiter flag to “0” (S315), sets the second limiter activated flag to “1” (S320), and proceeds to S345. If only the value of the second limiter actuated flag is set to “1”, while the second limiter flag is set to “1”, among the symbols A to D by the big hit symbol selection process (S260) That is, the process based on the second jackpot setting process is performed based on any of the symbols selected.

  Subsequent to S275, S295, S320, S332, or S340, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, one of big hit, out of reach (with out, but with reach display), or out of with no reach display. A variation start command (display control command) including variation data specifying data and variation time is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S345), and special game processing is performed. Note that the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbols by the processing of S345, but the main control device 80 also starts the variation of the special symbols almost simultaneously.

If it is determined in S205 in FIG. 7 that the special symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to S450 in FIG. 11, and the symbol variation time (based on the variation pattern in S269, S282, S305, S325, or S335). It is determined whether or not elapses. If the determination is negative (S450: no), a special game process is performed. If the determination is affirmative (S450: yes), a confirmation command is transmitted (S452), and the process proceeds to S455. In the fixed symbol display process, a command for displaying a fixed symbol (symbol fixed command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the fixed symbol. Let
In S455, it is determined whether or not the symbol to be confirmed is a jackpot symbol (S455). If it is a big hit symbol (S455: yes), a confirmed symbol display setting is performed (S457), and it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S460). If the probability variation flag is 1 (S460: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S462, and the process proceeds to S465. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S460: no), the process proceeds to S465 as it is. In S465, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If the hour / hour flag is 1 (S465: yes), the hour / hour flag is set to 0 in S467, and the process proceeds to S470. If the time reduction flag is not 1 (S465: no), the process proceeds to S470 as it is.

  In S470, the big hit flag is set by the condition device operation start process. In subsequent S472, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in S475, a hit start effect instruction command transmission process is performed. In the winning start effect instruction command transmission process, a command for starting the big hit game and information relating to the big hit game (hit opening time, opening pattern, big hit ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

If it is determined in S455 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win (S455: no), the fixed symbol display is set (S477), and it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S480). If it is 1 (S480: yes), the probability variation number is decreased by 1 (S482), and it is determined whether or not the probability variation number is 0 (S485). If the probability variation count is 0 (S485: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S487, and the process proceeds to S490. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S480: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S485: no), the processing proceeds to S490 as it is.
In S490, it is determined whether the time reduction flag is 1. If it is 1 (S490: yes), the time reduction count is decreased by 1 (S492), and it is determined whether the time reduction count is 0 (S495). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S495: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S497 and the process proceeds to S499. When the time reduction flag is not 1 (S490: no) or when the time reduction count is not 0 (S495: no), the process proceeds to S499 as it is.

In S499, the sub-integrated control device 83 sends a state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not the current gaming state is definitely changing, whether or not the time is short, after a special symbol determination time (600 ms). And execute special game processing.
In the case of the present embodiment, the timing for transmitting the state designation command from the main controller 80 to the sub integrated controller 83 in the special symbol success / failure determination processing is after the special symbol determination time. It may be configured to transmit a state designation command even at the time of recovery.

  When it is determined in S210 in FIG. 7 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to S500 in FIG. 12, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended. If the determination is negative (S500: no), the process proceeds to the special game process. If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the display of the confirmed symbol is terminated (S505), and a special game process is performed.

  In the special game process shown in FIG. 13, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the jackpot flag (S550). If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S550: no), the processing is terminated (returned) as it is. If the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S550: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S555). If the big prize opening 14 is not being opened (S555: no), it is determined whether the big prize opening 14 is closed during the interval between rounds (S560). If it is not during the interval (S560: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S565). If this is also a negative determination (S565: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the production to start the big hit game has passed (S570). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S570: yes), the big winning opening opening process (S575) is performed and this process is terminated. If the time required to produce the big hit game has not elapsed (S570: no), the special game process is terminated as it is.

  If it is determined in S555 that the big prize opening 14 is open (S555: yes), the process proceeds to S600 in FIG. 14 and it is determined whether or not ten big prize openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When ten winning prize openings 14 are won (S600: yes), the process proceeds to S610, and the big winning opening closing process is performed. Then, the big hit interval process (S615) is performed, and the special game process is terminated. If ten winning prize openings 14 have not been won (S600: no), the process proceeds to S605, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the big winning opening 14 has ended. In the present embodiment, in the case of big hits in 9 rounds and 4 rounds, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 28 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S605: yes), the process merges with S610, and when it is not over (S605: no), the special game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S560 in FIG. 13 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S620 in FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S620: yes), it is determined whether or not the last round is the last winning round 14 (S625). If it is the final round (S625: yes), a big hit end effect process (S630) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S625: no), the special winning opening 14 is again opened (S635), and the special game process is terminated. When it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S620: no), the special game process is terminated as it is. In the process of opening / closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  If it is determined in S565 in FIG. 13 that the big hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S650 in FIG. 15 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. In the case of a negative determination (S650: no), the special game process is terminated as it is. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S650: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S655), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S660). It is determined whether or not the limiter actuated flag is “0” (S665). In the case of negative determination (S665: no), it is determined whether or not the first limiter activated flag and the second limiter activated flag are set to “1” (S670). In the case of an affirmative determination (S670: yes), the first and second limiter activation short times setting processing (S710) is performed, the hourly flag is set to “1” (S715), and the first limiter activated flag is set to “ "0" (S720), the second limiter actuated flag is set to "0" (S725), and the process proceeds to S760. In the first and second limiter operation short time setting processing (S710), the short time number is set to 100 times.

  If a negative determination is made in S670 (S670: no), it is determined whether or not the first limiter actuated flag is set to “1” (S675). In the case of an affirmative determination (S675: yes), it is determined whether or not to shift to a shorter time (S677). If the determination is negative (S677: no), the process proceeds to S690. In the case of an affirmative determination (S677: yes), the first limiter operation short time setting process (S680) is performed, the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S685), and the first limiter operation completed flag is set to “0”. (S690), the process proceeds to S760. In the first limiter operation short time setting process (S680), the short time number is set to 50 times.

  If the second limiter actuated flag is set to “1” (S675: no), it is determined whether or not to shift to a shorter time (S692). If the determination is negative (S692: no), the process proceeds to S705. In the case of an affirmative determination (S692: yes), the second limiter activation short time setting process (S695) is performed, the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S700), and the second limiter activated flag is set to “0”. (S705), the process proceeds to S760. In the second limiter operation short time setting process (S695), the short time number is set to 30 times.

  In S665, when the limiter actuated flag is “0” (S665: yes), it is determined whether or not the next game state shifts to certain change (S730). When shifting to probability change (S730: yes), the number of times of probability change is set (S735), the probability change flag is set to 1 (S740), and the process proceeds to S745. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. When the process does not shift to the probability change (S730: no), the process proceeds to S745 as it is. Note that the number of probability changes is set to 10,000, which substantially guarantees the continuity of the probability change until the next big hit.

In S745, it is determined whether or not to shift to a short time in the next gaming state. In case of shifting to time reduction (S745: yes), the number of time reduction is set (S750), the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S755), and the process of transmitting the jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed (S760). Then, the state designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S765), and the special game process is terminated. If the time does not change (S745: no), the process goes straight to S760.
The number of time reductions set in S750 is normally 100 times for big hits, but is set to 10,000 times for probable big hits, substantially guaranteeing continuation of time reduction until the next big hit. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set.

  Here, the specifications of the pachinko machine 50 are shown in FIG. The hit probability of the pachinko machine 50 is 1/60 in the high probability gaming state and 1/300 in the low probability gaming state for both the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The probability variation grant rate is 50%. The number of probability changes is up to next time. Moreover, the number of time reductions is 100 times until the next time. The upper limit value of the setting value of the first counter is 5 times, and the upper limit value of the setting value of the second counter is 9 times. The number of time reductions given by the first limiter or / and the second limiter operation is 30, 50, or 100 times. In addition, the number of time reductions may not be given due to the operation of the first limiter or the second limiter. There are three prize balls for both the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, 10 for the large winning port 14, and 15 for other winning ports. In addition, when 10 winning prizes are won, the winning prize opening 14 is closed even if the maximum opening time of 28 seconds has not elapsed. The normal symbol hit probability is 1/300 when the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extended state (when the open extension function is not activated), and 1 / 1.0101 when the open extended state (when the open extension function is activated). It has become. When the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extended state, the normal electric accessory 12 is released only once for 0.2 seconds, and twice for 1.5 seconds if the open state is extended. Do.

The value is “3”, and the set value of the second counter is “3”. The big hit game is executed three times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the first advantageous state.
In the first advantageous state, when the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) is selected is set ((d) shown in FIG. 18B), the set value of the first counter is The setting value of the second counter becomes “4” while keeping “4”. The big hit game is executed four times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the first advantageous state.
In the first advantageous state, when the symbol mode in which the probability variation short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) is selected is set ((e) shown in FIG. 18 (a)), the set value of the first counter is “5”, and the setting value of the second counter is “5”. Here, since the setting value of the first counter has reached “5”, only the first limiter flag is set to “1”, and the setting value of the first counter and the setting value of the second counter are cleared to “0”. . Then, the big hit game is executed five times in succession, and after the big hit game is over, the state shifts to the first advantageous state.

  After that, during the first advantageous state, when the first limiter flag is set to “1”, the symbol for which the probability change time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the time symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected When the mode is set, the contents of the jackpot game that is shifted to the second advantageous state or the normal probability gaming state and the non-open extended state after the jackpot game is finished is set, and only the first limiter flag is set to “1”. If it is, the first limiter activated flag is set to “1”. The first limiter flag is cleared to “0”. Thereafter, the game proceeds to one of the gaming states shown in FIG. 17B corresponding to the selected jackpot symbol (from symbol A to symbol D) and the first limiter actuated flag.

An example in which the count value of the second counter reaches the upper limit value (9 times) and the second limiter operates will be described with reference to FIG.
For example, when the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected is set ((a) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), only the set value of the second counter is “1”. After the big hit game to be executed is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state (normal probability game state and open extended state).
When the symbol mode is selected in which the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected by shifting to the second advantageous state ((b) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the set value of the second counter Only becomes “2”. The jackpot game is executed twice in succession, and after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.
Further, when the symbol mode is selected in which the time advantage symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected by shifting to the second advantageous state ((c) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the second counter Only the set value is “3”. The big hit game is executed three times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.

When the symbol mode in which the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected is set ((d) shown in Fig. 18 (c)) when the second advantageous state is entered, the set value of the second counter Only becomes “4”. The big hit game is executed four times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.
Then, when the symbol mode in which the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected is set ((e) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the second counter is set. The value is “5”. The big hit game is executed five times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected is set ((f) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the second counter is set to the second advantageous state. “6”. The big hit game is executed continuously six times, and after the big hit game is over, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.

Then, when the symbol mode for selecting the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is set ((g) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the second counter is set. The value is “7”. The big hit game is executed seven times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected is set ((h) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the second counter is set to the second advantageous state. “8”. The jackpot game is executed eight times in succession, and after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected is set ((i) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the setting value of the second counter is only used. Becomes “9”. Here, since the setting value of the second counter has reached “9”, only the second limiter flag is set to “1”, and the setting value of the first counter and the setting value of the second counter are cleared to “0”. . Then, the big hit game is executed nine times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.

  After that, the process proceeds to the second advantageous state, and in the situation where the first limiter flag is set to “1”, the short time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the short time symbol (symbol C or symbol D) is selected. When the symbol mode is set ((j) shown in FIG. 18 (c)), the contents of the jackpot game to be shifted to the second advantageous state or the normal probability gaming state and the non-open extended state after the jackpot game is set. When only the second limiter flag is set to “1”, the second limiter actuated flag is set to “1”. The first limiter flag is cleared to “0”. Thereafter, the game proceeds to one of the gaming states shown in FIG. 17C corresponding to the selected jackpot symbol (from symbol A to symbol D) and the second limiter actuated flag.

FIG. 23 illustrates an example of a pre-reading effect executed according to the setting values of the first counter and the second counter.
FIG. 23A and FIG. 23B show an example of a pre-reading effect that is executed when the setting value of the first counter is “4” and the setting value of the second counter is “8”. In this example, since the setting value of the first counter is “4” and the setting value of the second counter is “8”, the symbol to be selected is the probability change time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the time symbol design. Depending on whether it is (design C or design D), there is a high possibility that the second limiter operates or the first limiter and the second limiter operate simultaneously.

FIG. 23 (a) shows that when the set value of the first counter is “4” and the set value of the second counter is “8”, the symbol selected by S260 is the short time symbol (symbol A or symbol B). This is an example of a look-ahead effect that suggests the possibility of executing a jackpot game corresponding to.
As shown in FIG. 23 (a), “Tatsuyoshi RUSH 8 in a row” is displayed in the display example 99 displayed above the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Further, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing.
A production character 94 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the production symbol display device 6. On the left side of the effect character 94, a reserved symbol 95, a reserved symbol 96, a reserved symbol 97, and a reserved symbol 98 are displayed. The display mode of the reserved symbols 95 to 97 is a normal white circle display mode. However, the display mode of the reserved symbol 98 is different from the display mode of the reserved symbol 95 to the reserved symbol 97.
As shown in FIG. 23A, the display pattern of the reserved symbol 98 is a smiling performance character “Tatsuyoshi Kumano”. In the present embodiment, the symbol selected based on the reserved memory of the reserved symbol 98 by executing a pre-reading effect using the reserved symbol whose display mode is the display mode shown in FIG. Is a probability change short symbol (symbol A or symbol B), which suggests to the player that the first limiter and the second limiter are likely to operate simultaneously.

FIG. 23B shows that when the setting value of the first counter is “4” and the setting value of the second counter is “8”, the symbol to be selected corresponds to the time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D). This is an example of a look-ahead effect that suggests that a big hit game may be executed.
As shown in FIG. 23 (b), “Tatsuyoshi RUSH 8 in a row” is displayed in the display example 99 displayed above the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Further, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing.

On the left side of the effect character 94, a reserved symbol 95, a reserved symbol 96, a reserved symbol 97, and a reserved symbol 98 are displayed. The display mode of the reserved symbols 95 to 97 is a normal white circle display mode. However, the display mode of the reserved symbol 98 is different from the display mode of the reserved symbol 95 to the reserved symbol 97.
As shown in FIG. 23 (b), the display pattern of the reserved symbol 98 is the production character “Tatsuyoshi Kuma no Kiri” with a crying expression. In the present embodiment, the symbol selected based on the reserved memory of the reserved symbol 98 by executing the pre-reading effect using the reserved symbol whose display mode is the display mode shown in FIG. Is a short time symbol (symbol C or symbol D), which suggests to the player that only the second limiter is likely to operate.

  FIG. 23C and FIG. 23D show an example of a prefetch effect executed when the set value of the first counter is “4”. In this example, the setting value of the first counter is “4”, but the setting value of the second counter is less than “8”. Therefore, if the symbol to be selected is a probability-changing short symbol (symbol A or symbol B), the first limiter flag is likely to be set to “1”, and if the symbol is a short-term symbol (symbol C or symbol D). Therefore, there is a high possibility that the first limiter flag is avoided from being set to “1”.

FIG. 23 (c) shows that, when the set value of the first counter is “4”, there is a high possibility that a jackpot game corresponding to a time-short symbol (symbol C or symbol D) will be executed. It is an example of a pre-reading effect that suggests.
In the display example 99 displayed at the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. 23 (c), “Tatsuyoshi RUSH quadruple chain” is displayed. Further, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing.
A production character 94 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the production symbol display device 6. On the left side of the effect character 94, a reserved symbol 95, a reserved symbol 96, a reserved symbol 97, and a reserved symbol 98 are displayed. Note that the display mode of the reserved symbols 95 to 97 is a normal white circle display mode. However, the display mode of the reserved symbol 98 is different from the display mode of the reserved symbol 95 to the reserved symbol 97.
As shown in FIG. 23C, the display pattern of the reserved symbol 98 is a smiling performance character “Tatsuyoshi Kumano”. In the present embodiment, the symbol selected based on the reserved memory of the reserved symbol 98 by executing a pre-reading effect using the reserved symbol whose display mode is the display mode shown in FIG. Is a short time symbol (symbol C or symbol D), which suggests to the player that the first limiter is unlikely to operate.

FIG. 23 (d) shows that when the set value of the first counter is “4”, the jackpot game in which the symbol selected by S260 corresponds to the short time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) is executed. This is an example of a look-ahead effect that suggests a high value.
In the display example 99 displayed at the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 shown in FIG. 23 (d), “Tatsuyoshi RUSH 4 in a chain” is displayed. Further, the left effect symbol 91, the middle effect symbol 92, and the right effect symbol 93 are changing.
A production character 94 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the production symbol display device 6. On the left side of the effect character 94, a reserved symbol 95, a reserved symbol 96, a reserved symbol 97, and a reserved symbol 98 are displayed. Note that the display mode of the reserved symbols 95 to 97 is a normal white circle display mode. However, the display mode of the reserved symbol 98 is different from the display mode of the reserved symbol 95 to the reserved symbol 97.
As shown in FIG. 23 (d), the display pattern of the reserved symbol 98 is an effect character “Tatsuyoshi Bear” with a troubled expression. In the present embodiment, the symbol selected based on the reserved memory of the reserved symbol 98 by executing the pre-reading effect using the reserved symbol whose display mode is the display mode shown in FIG. Is a probability change time short symbol (symbol A or symbol B), which suggests to the player that the first limiter is likely to operate.

  According to the above ball game machines, the setting value of the first counter that counts the number of times that the short-term symbol (giving high probability gaming state and open extension state) is determined by the jackpot symbol selection process (S260) is the upper limit value ( 5th), the first limiter is activated, or the jackpot symbol selection process (S260) determines the probability-changing short symbol (giving high probability gaming state and open extended state) or short time symbol (giving only open extended state) The jackpot game to be executed by the three choices of whether the second limiter operates or the first limiter and the second limiter operate simultaneously when the set value of the second counter that counts the number of times becomes the upper limit value (9 times) It is possible to give superiority or inferiority to the number of time reductions given after the end of the game, and it is possible to provide a pachinko machine having a new playability having a plurality of limiter functions.

In addition, according to the above-described ball game machine, is the first limiter activated by executing the pre-reading effect shown in FIG. 23 using the set value of the first counter and the set value of the second counter? It is possible to indicate to the player whether the second limiter may be activated or whether the first limiter and the second limiter may be activated simultaneously.
Further, by executing the pre-reading effect shown in FIG. 23 with a configuration including a plurality of limiters, there is a possibility that which jackpot symbol will be selected under the situation where the first limiter and the second limiter are operated simultaneously. In addition to suggesting to the player that the value is high, in the situation where one of the first limiter and the second limiter is activated, there is a risk to the player if which jackpot symbol is selected. It suggests whether it is high or low, and can perform pre-reading productions that have never been seen before. In addition, although the example of the production | presentation before a limiter action | operation was shown, producing at other timings is also considered.
For example, if the count values of the first counter and the second counter are displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, even if it is not before the limiter operation, it is counted by which counter in the pre-read effect. It is possible to produce an effect that suggests whether it is a hit or not, and conversely, if it is configured not to notify the exact game state in the big win symbol or production mode, it is predicted which limiter will operate on the displayed look-ahead symbol It is also possible to make the game playable while playing.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the present embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.
The “first start port” of the present invention corresponds to the first start port 11, the “second start port” of the present invention corresponds to the second start port 12, and the “hold storage means” of the present invention is 6 corresponds to the extracted random number hold storage process of S110 and S140 in FIG. 6, the “correction determination means” of the present invention corresponds to the correctness determination process (S60) of FIG. 5, and the “production control means” of the present invention It corresponds to the integrated control device 83, the “big hit game execution means” of the present invention corresponds to special game processing, and the “first advantageous state” of the present invention is the first advantageous state (high probability gaming state and open extension state) ), The “second advantageous state” of the present invention corresponds to the second advantageous state (the normal probability gaming state and the open extended state), and the “first counting means” of the present invention corresponds to the first counter.

The “third limiter benefit” of the present invention corresponds to the open extended state shown in FIG.

  As in this embodiment, it is not a configuration in which the number of times is given differently depending on whether only one of the first limiter and the second limiter is activated or not. There may be. The above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. If the symbol mode in which each jackpot symbol (symbol A to symbol D) is selected when the first limiter and the second limiter are not activated is set, the contents of the jackpot game to be executed and the end of the jackpot game The subsequent gaming state is the same as that of the first embodiment (see FIG. 17A).

  First, using FIG. 24A, a symbol mode is selected in which each big hit symbol (from symbol A to symbol D) is selected when only one of the first limiter and the second limiter is activated. The contents of the jackpot game executed in this case will be described. When the symbol mode in which symbol A or symbol B is selected is set, nine rounds of big hit game are executed in a maximum of 28 seconds of the opening pattern of the one-time big winning opening 14. In the present embodiment, when the symbol mode in which symbol C or symbol D is selected is set, a 4-round jackpot game is executed with a maximum of 28 seconds of the opening pattern of the one-round big winning opening 14.

As shown in FIG. 24A, when only one of the first limiter and the second limiter is activated and a symbol mode in which a big hit symbol (symbol A or symbol C) is selected is set. The game states after the end of the jackpot game to be executed are the low probability game state and the open extended state. In addition, the number of time savings given is set to 50 times.
As shown in FIG. 24A, when only one of the first limiter and the second limiter is activated and a symbol mode in which a big hit symbol (symbol B or symbol D) is selected is set. The game states after the end of the jackpot game to be executed are the low probability game state and the open extended state. In addition, the number of time savings given is set to 30 times.

  First, using FIG. 24 (b), the contents of the jackpot game to be executed when the symbol mode for selecting each jackpot symbol (symbol A to symbol D) is set when the first limiter and the second limiter are operated. Will be described. When the symbol mode in which symbol A or symbol B is selected is set, nine rounds of big hit game are executed in a maximum of 28 seconds of the opening pattern of the one-time big winning opening 14. In the present embodiment, when the symbol mode in which symbol C or symbol D is selected is set, a 4-round jackpot game is executed with a maximum of 28 seconds of the opening pattern of the one-round big winning opening 14.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (b), when the symbol mode in which the big hit symbol (from symbol A to symbol D) is selected when the first limiter and the second limiter are activated, the big hit game to be executed is completed. The later gaming state is a low probability gaming state and an open extended state. In addition, the number of time savings given is set to 100 times.

  According to the above ball game machines, the setting value of the first counter that counts the number of times that the short-term symbol (giving high probability gaming state and open extension state) is determined by the jackpot symbol selection process (S260) is the upper limit value ( 5 times), and count the number of times the first limiter and jackpot symbol selection process (S260) determines the probability variation short symbol (giving high probability gaming state and open extended state) or short time symbol (giving only open extended state) The second counter is set to the upper limit value (9 times) and one of the second limiters is activated, or the first limiter and the second limiter are activated at the same time. It is possible to give superiority or inferiority to the number of times given after the end of the big hit game, and it is possible to provide a pachinko machine having a new game function having a plurality of limiter functions.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the pachinko machine 50 having the above-described configuration and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.

[Example 2]

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.
In the main control device 80 of the first embodiment, if the big hit symbol selected in the big hit symbol selection process of S260 is the short symbol at the time of probability change, the set value of the first counter is increased by “1”, and the short symbol or the short time symbol at the time of probability change is obtained. In this case, the setting value of the second counter is increased by “1”. In this embodiment, if the jackpot symbol selected in the jackpot symbol selection process of S810 is the probability variation short symbol (symbol A or symbol B), the probability variation symbol (symbol D) or the time variant symbol (symbol C), the setting value of the third counter Is incremented by “1”, and if the big hit symbol selected in the big hit symbol selection process of S810 is a short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or a probable variation symbol (symbol D), the set value of the fourth counter is incremented by “1”. It is the composition which makes it. If the setting value of the third counter reaches “9”, the third limiter flag is set to “1”, and if the setting value of the fourth counter reaches “5”, the fourth limiter flag is set to “1”. Will do.

The success / failure determination processing according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 25 to 27.
In S800 of FIG. 25, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a big hit based on the determination of S235 or S240 (S800), and if it is determined that it is a big hit (S800: yes), the symbol mode setting process ( In step S805, based on the jackpot symbol determining random number 1, the symbol mode for determining the contents of the jackpot game and the game state after the jackpot game is finished (after the game of the big winning opening 14 is finished) is set. In the case of the present embodiment, a first advantageous state consisting of a high probability gaming state and an open extended state (when the open extension function is activated), a second advantageous state consisting of a normal probability gaming state and an open extended state, a high probability gaming state and a non-probable gaming state. The symbol mode for determining the third advantageous state consisting of the open extended state or the normal probability game state and the normal game state consisting of the non-open extended state is set.

  Subsequent to S805, a jackpot symbol selection process is performed based on the type of symbol mode set in S805 and the jackpot symbol determination random number 2 (S810). This is a special display in which a symbol group set for each symbol mode is determined and displayed in order to associate the gaming state after the end of the operation of the big prize opening 14 determined by the symbol mode setting and the type of the jackpot symbol. This is the process of determining the symbol jackpot symbol. In the case of the present embodiment, when the symbol mode for determining the first advantageous state is set, the probability variation short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) is selected (see FIG. 30A). When the symbol mode for determining the second advantageous state is set, the time-short symbol (symbol C) is selected (see FIG. 30A). When the symbol mode for determining the third advantageous state is set, the probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected (see FIG. 30A). When the symbol mode for determining the normal gaming state is set, the normal symbol (symbol E) is selected (see FIG. 30A).

  Following S810, a mode buffer setting process (S815) is performed based on the symbol mode set in S805. The mode buffer is a device that stores the contents of the game state after the jackpot game is completed (the contents of the symbol mode) determined at the time of determining whether or not the game is successful until the end of the jackpot game for setting the game state (at the end of the special game process). (Because it is necessary to clear the special figure probability change flag and time reduction flag that set the game state during the game). The mode buffer is configured not to store specific game contents but to store values corresponding to specific game contents.

  Subsequent to S815, the process proceeds to S820. In S820, main controller 80 determines whether or not the limiter flag is “0” (S820). When the limiter flag is “0” (S820: yes), the variation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number (S822), and the process proceeds to the third limiter setting process (S825). Then, after proceeding to the fourth limiter setting process (S830), the process proceeds to S895. If it is determined in S800 that it is off (S800: no), the variation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number (S885). When the variation pattern is set in this way, a loss setting process is performed (S890), and the process proceeds to S895. In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions or the number of times of probability change is positive, -1 is respectively set.

Here, the third limiter setting process (S825) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in S900, main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot symbol selected in S810 is a normal symbol (symbol E) (S900). If it is a normal symbol (symbol E) (S900: yes), the setting value of the third counter is set to “0” (S925), and this processing is terminated (returned). If the symbol is not the normal symbol (symbol E) (S900: no), the third counter is incremented by “1” (S905), and whether or not the third counter has reached “9” in S810. Determination is made (S910). The third counter is a short-term symbol (giving the first advantageous state), a short-time symbol (giving the second advantageous state), or a probable variation symbol (giving the third advantageous state) by the big hit symbol selection process (S810). A counter that counts the determined number of times. In the present embodiment, symbol A or symbol B corresponds to a short-term symbol for probability variation, symbol C corresponds to a symbol for short-time variation, and symbol D corresponds to a symbol for probability variation (see FIG. 30A).
If the third counter has not reached “9” (S910: no), the process directly returns. If the third counter reaches “9” (S910: yes), the third limiter flag is set to “1” (S915), the third counter is set to “0” (S920), and the process returns. It becomes.
The third limiter flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. If the value is set to “1”, a short-term symbol (provision of the first advantageous state) is given by the big hit symbol selection process (S810). ), Striking the big hit game based on the fact that the count value of the third counter that counts the number of times the short-time symbol (granting the second advantageous state) or the probability variation symbol (granting the third advantageous state) is reached 9 times In this state, the third limiter that restricts the continued high probability gaming state is activated. Also, if the value of the third limiter flag is “0”, the probability change short symbol (giving the first advantageous state), the time shortening symbol (giving the second advantageous state) or the probability varying symbol (S 810). This is a state in which the count value of the third counter that counts the number of times the third advantageous state has been determined has not reached nine.

Next, the fourth limiter setting process (S830) that shifts after the third limiter setting process (S825) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, in S950, main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot symbol selected in S810 is a normal symbol (symbol E) (S950). If the symbol is a normal symbol (symbol E) (S950: yes), the setting value of the fourth counter is set to “0” (S998), and this processing ends (returns). If it is not the normal symbol (symbol E) (S950: no), it is determined whether or not it is a short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or a probability variable symbol (symbol D) (S952). When it is a time-short symbol (symbol C) (S952: no), the process proceeds to S965. Further, in the case of a short time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or a certain probability variation symbol (symbol D) (S952: yes), the fourth counter is incremented by “1” (S955), and the fourth counter is set to “5”. It is determined whether it has been reached (S960). The fourth counter is a counter that counts the number of times that the short-term symbol (giving the first advantageous state) or the probable variation symbol (giving the third advantageous state) is determined by the big hit symbol selection process (S810). . In the present embodiment, symbol A or symbol B corresponds to a probability variation short symbol, and symbol D corresponds to a probability variation symbol (see FIG. 30A).
If the fourth counter has not reached “5” (S960: no), it is determined whether or not the third limiter flag is set to “1” (S965). In the case of negative determination (S965: no), the process returns as it is. If the third limiter flag is set to “1” (S965: yes), the setting value of the fourth counter is set to “0” (S970), and the process returns. When the set value of the fourth counter reaches “5” (S960: yes), it is determined whether or not the third limiter flag is set to “1” (S975). When the third limiter flag is set to “1” (S975: yes), the fourth limiter flag is set to “1” (S980), and the set value of the fourth counter is set to “0” (S985). ), Return. If the third limiter flag is not set to “1” (S975: no), the fourth limiter flag is set to “1” (S990), and the third counter is set to “0” (S995). The fourth counter is set to “0” (S997), and the process returns. The fourth limiter flag is a value stored in the main controller 80. If the value is set to "1", the probability change time short symbol (giving the first advantageous state is given) by the big hit symbol selection process (S810). ) Or the probability that the high probability gaming state will continue across the big hit game based on the fact that the count value of the fourth counter that counts the number of times that the probability variation symbol (granting the third advantageous state) has been reached 5 times is regulated The fourth limiter is activated. Further, if the value of the fourth limiter flag is “0”, the number of times that the short-term symbol (giving the first advantageous state) or the probable variation symbol (giving the third advantageous state) is determined by the big hit symbol selection process (S810). This is a state where the count value of the fourth counter for counting the number of times does not reach 5 times.

  Returning to FIG. When the limiter flag is not “0” (S820: no), in S835, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the third limiter flag and the fourth limiter flag are set to “1” ( S835). When the third limiter flag and the fourth limiter flag are “1” (S835: yes), in the third variation pattern determination process, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S837). A big hit setting process is performed (S840), and the process proceeds to S842. In the third jackpot setting process, while the third limiter flag and the fourth limiter flag are set to “1”, one of the symbols A to E is selected by the jackpot symbol selection process (S810). Information on the jackpot game based on whether the mode is set (opening time of big hit, opening pattern, ending time of big hit, number of rounds, opening mode of the big winning opening 14, number of short times given after the end of the big hit game, etc.) It is a process to acquire. The third limiter flag is set to “0” (S842), the fourth limiter flag is set to “0” (S845), the third limiter actuated flag is set to “1” (S847), and the fourth limiter is actuated. The flag is set to “1” (S850), and the process proceeds to S895. If the values of the third limiter actuated flag and the fourth limiter actuated flag are set to “1”, the big hit symbol selection process while the third limiter flag and the fourth limiter flag are set to “1”. The processing by the third jackpot setting process is performed based on whether or not the symbol mode for selecting any symbol from symbol A to symbol E is set by (S810).

  If both the limiter flags are not set to “1” (S835: no), it is determined whether or not the third limiter flag is set to “1” (S855). In the case of an affirmative determination (S855: yes), in the first variation pattern determination process, a variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number (S870), a first jackpot setting process is performed (S872), and the process proceeds to S875. Transition. In the first jackpot setting process, whether the symbol mode in which one of the symbols A to E is selected by the jackpot symbol selection process (S810) is set while the third limiter flag is set to “1”. Is a process for obtaining information on the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, opening mode of the jackpot 14, the number of times given after the jackpot game is finished). . In S875, main controller 80 sets the third limiter flag to “0” (S875), sets the third limiter activated flag to “1” (S880), and proceeds to S895. If only the value of the third limiter actuated flag is set to “1”, while the third limiter flag is set to “1”, the big hit symbol selection process (S810) will result in symbols A to D being included. The first jackpot setting process is performed based on whether the symbol mode in which any of the symbols is selected is set.

  If the fourth limiter flag is set to “1” (S855: no), the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number in the second variation pattern determination process (S857), and the second jackpot setting is made. Processing is performed (S860), and the process proceeds to S862. In the second jackpot setting process, whether the symbol mode in which one of the symbols A to E is selected by the jackpot symbol selection process (S810) is set while the fourth limiter flag is set to “1”. Is a process for obtaining information on the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, opening mode of the jackpot 14, the number of times given after the jackpot game is finished). . In S862, main controller 80 sets the fourth limiter flag to “0” (S862), sets the fourth limiter activated flag to “1” (S865), and proceeds to S895. If only the value of the fourth limiter actuated flag is set to “1”, while the fourth limiter flag is set to “1”, among the symbols A to D by the big hit symbol selection process (S810) The process by the second jackpot setting process is performed based on whether the symbol mode for selecting any of the symbols is set.

  Subsequent to S830, S850, S865, S880 or S890, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, one of big hit, out of reach (with out of reach but with reach display), or out of reach without display of reach. A variation start command (display control command) including variation data specifying data and variation time is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S895), and special game processing is performed. In addition, the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbols by the process of S895, but the main control device 80 also starts the variation of the special symbols almost simultaneously.

  Next, differences between the flowchart of the special game process of the present embodiment and the flowchart of the special game process of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  When it is determined in S565 of FIG. 13 that the big hit end effect is being performed, the main control device 80 of the second embodiment proceeds to S1000 of FIG. 28 and determines whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. In the case of negative determination (S1000: no), the process returns as it is. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S1000: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S1005), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S1010). It is determined whether or not the limiter actuated flag is “0” (S1015). In the case of negative determination (S1015: no), it is determined whether or not the third limiter actuated flag and the fourth limiter actuated flag are set to “1” (S1020). In the case of an affirmative determination (S1020: yes), the third and fourth limiter operation short time setting processing (S1060) is performed, the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S1065), and the third limiter operation completed flag is set to “ "0" (S1070), the fourth limiter actuated flag is set to "0" (S1075), and the process proceeds to S1110. In the third and fourth limiter operation short time setting processing (S1060), the short time number is set to 100 times.

  If a negative determination is made in S1020 (S1020: no), it is determined whether only the third limiter actuated flag is set to “1” (S1025). In the case of an affirmative determination (S1025: yes), it is determined whether or not to shift to a shorter time (S1027). If the determination is negative (S1027: no), the process proceeds to S1040. In the case of an affirmative determination (S1027: yes), the third limiter activation short time setting process (S1030) is performed, the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S1035), and the third limiter activated flag is set to “0”. (S1040), the process proceeds to S1110. In the third limiter operation short time setting process (S1030), the short time number is set to 50 times.

  If only the fourth limiter actuated flag is set to “1” (S1025: no), it is determined whether or not to shift to a shorter time (S1042). If the determination is negative (S1042: no), the process proceeds to S1055. In the case of an affirmative determination (S1042: yes), the fourth limiter activation short time setting process (S1045) is performed, the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S1050), and the fourth limiter activated flag is set to “0”. (S1055), the process proceeds to S1110. In the fourth limiter operation short time setting process (S1045), the short time number is set to 30 times.

  In S1015, when the limiter actuated flag is “0” (S1015: yes), it is determined whether or not the next game state acquired in S840 of FIG. When shifting to probability change (S1080: yes), the number of times of probability change is set (S1085), the probability change flag is set to 1 (S1090), and the process proceeds to S1095. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. When the process does not shift to the probability change (S1080: no), the process proceeds to S1095 as it is. Note that the number of probability changes is set to 10,000, which substantially guarantees the continuity of the probability change until the next big hit.

In S1095, it is determined whether or not to shift to a short time in the next gaming state. In case of shifting to time reduction (S1095: yes), the number of time reduction is set (S1100), the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S1105), and the process of transmitting the jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83 is performed (S1110). Then, the state designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1115), and the special game process is terminated.
The short time set in S1110 is normally 100 times for big hits, and is set to 100 times or 10,000 times for probability big hits. If the number of time reductions is set to 10000 times, the continuation of the time reduction until the next big hit is virtually guaranteed. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set. If the time does not move quickly (S1095: no), the process goes straight to S1110.

  Here, the specification of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. The jackpot probability of the pachinko machine 50 is 1/300 in the low probability gaming state and 1/60 in the high probability gaming state for both the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The probability variation grant rate is 60%. The number of probability changes is up to next time. Moreover, the number of time reductions is 100 times or until the next time. The upper limit value of the third counter setting value is 9 times, and the upper limit value of the fourth counter setting value is 5 times. The number of time reductions given after the end of the big hit game by the third limiter operation or / and the fourth limiter operation is 30, 50, or 100 times. In some cases, the number of time reductions may not be given after the big hit game ends due to the third limiter operation or the fourth limiter operation. There are three prize balls for both the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, 10 for the large winning port 14, and 15 for other winning ports. In addition, when 10 winning prizes are won, the winning prize opening 14 is closed even if the maximum opening time of 28 seconds has not elapsed. The normal symbol hit probability is 1/300 if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extended state (when the open extension function is not activated), and 1/1. 0101. When the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extended state, the normal electric accessory 12 is released only once for 0.2 seconds, and twice for 1.5 seconds if the open state is extended. Do.

An operation example of the third limiter and / or the fourth limiter will be described with reference to FIG.
First, an example in which the count value of the third counter and the count value of the fourth counter simultaneously reach the upper limit values and the limiter flags are set simultaneously will be described with reference to FIG.
For example, when the symbol mode in which the time-short symbol (symbol C) is selected is set in S810 ((a) shown in FIG. 32A), only the set value of the third counter becomes “1”. After the big hit game to be executed is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state (normal probability game state and open extended state).
When the symbol mode is selected in which the transition to the second advantageous state and the probability variation time short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected ((b) shown in FIG. 32 (a)). ), The setting value of the third counter is “2”, and the setting value of the fourth counter is “1”. The jackpot game is executed twice in succession, and after the jackpot game ends, the game shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol C) is selected during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is set ((c) shown in FIG. 32 (a)), the set value of the third counter Becomes “3”, and the set value of the fourth counter remains “1”. The big hit game is executed three times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.

Then, when the symbol mode in which the probability changing time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the probability varying symbol (symbol D) is selected is set (see FIG. 32 (a)). d)), the setting value of the third counter is “4”, and the setting value of the fourth counter is “2”. The big hit game is executed four times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol C) is selected during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is set (shown in (e) of FIG. 32 (a)), the set value of the third counter Only becomes “5”. The big hit game is executed five times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.
When the symbol mode is selected in which the transition to the second advantageous state and the probability variation short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected ((f) shown in FIG. 32 (a)). ), The setting value of the third counter is “6”, and the setting value of the fourth counter is “3”. The big hit game is executed six times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.

Thereafter, during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state, when the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol C) is selected is set ((g) shown in FIG. 32 (a)), the third counter The set value is “7”. The big hit game is executed seven times in succession, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.
In the case of transition to the second advantageous state, if the selected jackpot symbol ((h) shown in Fig. 32 (a)) is a short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or a probable variation symbol (symbol D) The setting value of the third counter becomes “8”, and the setting value of the second counter remains “4”. The jackpot game is executed eight times in succession, and after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the probability variation short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is set (as shown in FIG. 32 (a)). (i)) The setting value of the third counter is “9”, and the setting value of the second counter is “5”. Here, since the setting value of the third counter becomes “9”, the third limiter flag is set to “1”, and the setting value of the third counter is cleared to “0”. Further, since the setting value of the fourth counter becomes “5”, the fourth limiter flag is set to “1”, and the setting value of the fourth counter is cleared to “0”. Then, the big hit game is executed nine times in succession, and the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is given after the big hit game is finished.

  After that, during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state, each big hit symbol (from symbol A to symbol E) is selected in a situation where the third limiter flag and the fourth limiter flag are set to “1”. When the mode is set, the contents of the jackpot game that shifts to the second advantageous state after the jackpot game ends are set, and the third limiter actuated flag and the fourth limiter actuated flag are set to “1”. The third limiter flag and the fourth limiter flag are cleared to “0”. Then, based on the selected jackpot symbol (from symbol A to symbol E) and the limiter actuated flag, the game state is shifted to one of the gaming states shown in FIG.

An example in which the count value of the third counter reaches the upper limit value (9 times) and the third limiter flag is set will be described with reference to FIG.
For example, when the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol C) is selected is set in S810 ((a) shown in FIG. 32B), only the set value of the third counter becomes “1”. After the big hit game to be executed is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state (normal probability game state and open extended state).
When the symbol mode is selected in which the time advantage symbol (symbol C) is selected after the transition to the second advantageous state ((b) shown in FIG. 32 (b)), only the set value of the third counter is “ 2 ”. The big hit game is continuously executed twice, and after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.
In the case where the symbol mode is selected in which the time advantage symbol (symbol C) is selected by shifting to the second advantageous state ((c) shown in FIG. 32 (b)), only the setting value of the third counter is “ 3 ". The big hit game is continuously executed three times, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.

Thereafter, when the symbol mode is selected in which the shift to the second advantageous state is made and the time-short symbol (symbol C) is selected ((d) shown in FIG. 32 (b)), only the set value of the third counter is obtained. “4”. The big hit game is continuously executed four times, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.
When the symbol mode is selected in which the time advantage symbol (symbol C) is selected by shifting to the second advantageous state ((e) shown in FIG. 32 (b)), only the set value of the third counter is “ 5 ". The big hit game is continuously executed five times, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.
If the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol C) is selected is set ((f) shown in FIG. 32 (b)) when the second advantageous state is entered, only the setting value of the third counter is “ 6 ”. The big hit game is continuously executed six times, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.

When the symbol mode is selected in which the time advantage symbol (symbol C) is selected by shifting to the second advantageous state ((g) shown in FIG. 32 (b)), only the setting value of the third counter is set. Becomes “7”. The big hit game is continuously executed seven times, and after the big hit game is finished, the state shifts to the second advantageous state.
If the symbol mode is selected in which the time-short symbol (symbol C) is selected by shifting to the second advantageous state ((h) shown in FIG. 32 (b)), only the set value of the third counter is “ 8 ”. The big hit game is continuously executed 8 times, and after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.
If the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol C) is selected is set ((i) shown in FIG. 32 (b)) when the second advantageous state is entered, only the setting value of the third counter is “ 9 ". Here, since the setting value of the third counter becomes “9”, the third limiter flag is set to “1”, and the setting value of the third counter and the setting value of the fourth counter are cleared to “0”. . Then, 9 consecutive big hit games are executed, and after the big hit game is over, the game shifts to the second advantageous state.

  In the situation where the third limiter flag is set to “1”, when the symbol mode in which each jackpot symbol is selected is set, the second advantageous state or the normal probability gaming state and the non-release after the jackpot game ends. The contents of the jackpot game to be shifted to the extended state are set, and the third limiter actuated flag is set to “1”. The third limiter flag is cleared to “0”. Thereafter, based on the selected jackpot symbol (from symbol A to symbol E) and the third limiter actuated flag, the game state is shifted to one of the gaming states shown in FIG.

An example in which the count value of the fourth counter reaches the upper limit value (5 times) and the fourth limiter flag is set will be described with reference to FIG.
For example, when the symbol mode in which the probability variation short symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected is set by S810 ((a) shown in FIG. 32 (c)), the third counter And the setting value of the fourth counter are “1”. After the big hit game to be executed is completed, the state shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the probability variation time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected during the first advantageous state or the third gaming state is set (as shown in FIG. 32 (c)). (b)), the setting value of the third counter and the setting value of the fourth counter are “2”. The jackpot game is continuously executed twice, and after the jackpot game ends, the game shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the probability variation time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is set (as shown in FIG. 32 (c)). c)), the setting value of the third counter and the setting value of the fourth counter are “3”. The big hit game is executed continuously three times, and after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.

When the symbol mode in which the probability variation time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is set (as shown in FIG. 32 (c)). d)), the setting value of the third counter and the setting value of the fourth counter are “4”. The big hit game is continuously executed four times, and after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state.
When the symbol mode in which the probability change time symbol (symbol A or symbol B) or the probability variation symbol (symbol D) is selected during the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is set (as shown in FIG. 32 (c)). (e)), the set value of the fourth counter becomes “5”. Here, since the setting value of the fourth counter becomes “5”, the fourth limiter flag is set to “1”, and the setting value of the third counter and the setting value of the fourth counter are cleared to “0”. . The big hit game is executed five times continuously, and after the big hit game is finished, the big hit game in which the first advantageous state or the third advantageous state is executed is executed.

  In the situation where the 4th limiter flag is set to “1” and the symbol mode in which each jackpot symbol is selected is set, the second advantageous state or the normal probability gaming state and the non-open extension after the jackpot game is ended. The contents of the big hit game to be shifted to the state are set, and the fourth limiter actuated flag is set to “1”. The fourth limiter flag is cleared to “0”. Then, based on the selected jackpot symbol (from symbol A to symbol E) and the third limiter actuated flag, the game state is shifted to one of the gaming states shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, when the third limiter flag and the fourth limiter flag are not set to “1”, the jackpot game executed by setting the symbol mode in which the short time symbol (symbol B) is selected in S810. After the end of, the first advantageous state consisting of a high-probability gaming state (continues until the next time) and an open extension state (until the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 100 times) will be given. When the first advantageous state based on the symbol mode in which the symbol B is selected is given and the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times, the first advantageous state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) to the third advantageous state ( The gaming state is shifted to a high probability gaming state and a non-open extension state. However, since the third counter and the fourth counter of this embodiment count the number of times that a predetermined big hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol selection process (S810), the game from the first gaming state to the third advantageous state is counted. Even if the state shifts, the set value of each counter does not increase.

  Since the third counter of the present embodiment is configured to count the number of times the probability variation time symbol, the time variation symbol or the probability variation symbol is selected, the big hit game from the first advantageous state (high probability game state and open extension state).
