Specifically, the LED unit 53 includes the normal symbol display unit 71, the normal symbol hold display unit 72, the first special symbol display unit 73, the second special symbol display unit 74, and the first special display unit as the various display units. A symbol hold display portion 75 and a second special symbol hold display portion 76 are provided.

  The normal symbol display unit 71 displays the result of determination (normal symbol determination) for the normal symbol game. Here, the normal symbol game refers to a game in which it is determined whether or not to drive the normal electric accessory 45 according to the result of determination (ordinary symbol determination) to make it open. The normal symbol display unit 71 includes display LEDs 71a and 71b. The display LEDs 71a and 71b start changing display that alternately turns on and off when a predetermined change display start condition is satisfied. A combination (display pattern) by turning on / off the display LEDs 71a and 71b is displayed as a normal symbol. The display LEDs 71a and 71b perform stop display after a predetermined period has elapsed after starting the variable display.

  When the result of the determination (ordinary symbol determination) is a win, the combination of turning on / off the display LEDs 71a and 71b (special symbol) is a specific stop display mode. Thus, when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a specific stop display mode, it is determined that the ordinary electric accessory 45 is opened, and the ordinary electric accessory 45 is driven to open and close in a predetermined pattern. The difficulty of winning a game ball to 44 is changed.

  The normal symbol hold display section 72 displays the number of executions of the fluctuation display of the normal symbols that are held (hereinafter referred to as “the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol fluctuation display”). The normal symbol hold display section 72 includes display LEDs 72a and 72b. The normal symbol hold display unit 72 displays the number of times the normal symbol fluctuating display is held by a combination of turning on / off the display LEDs 72a and 72b. For example, when the execution of the normal symbol variation display is suspended for one time, the display LED 72a is turned on and the display LED 72b is turned off. Further, when the execution of the normal symbol variation display is suspended twice, the display LED 72a is turned on and the display LED 72b is turned on.

Further, when the execution of the normal symbol variation display is suspended four times, the display LED 72a blinks and the display LED 72b blinks.

  The 1st special symbol display part 73 and the 2nd special symbol display part 74 display the result (judgment determination) result with respect to a special symbol game. Here, the special symbol game refers to a game in which the transition or maintenance of the gaming state is determined based on the result of determination (winning determination).

  The 1st special symbol display part 73 comprises the display LED group 73a which consists of 8 LED. The display LED group 73a performs variable display in response to a winning of a game ball (start winning) at the first start port 43, and displays a result of a hit determination based on the winning of the game ball. When a predetermined variation display start condition is satisfied, the display LED group 73a starts the variation display in which the eight LEDs are repeatedly turned on and off. In the display LED group 73a, a combination (display pattern) by turning on / off the eight LEDs is displayed as a special symbol. The display LED group 73a performs stop display after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after starting variable display.

  When the result of the hit determination based on the winning of the game ball to the first start opening 43 is a win, the combination of lighting and extinguishing of the eight LEDs of the display LED group 73a (special symbol) becomes a specific stop display mode. . Thus, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a specific stop display mode, the transition of the gaming state is determined, the shutter 48 is driven to open and close in a predetermined pattern, and the gaming state in which a game ball can win the big winning opening 47 Become. In the following description, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display unit 73 based on the winning of the game ball at the first start port 43 is referred to as a first special symbol.

  The second special symbol display unit 74 includes a display LED group 74a composed of eight LEDs. The display LED group 74a displays a variation display in response to a winning of a game ball (start winning) at the second starting port 44, and displays a result of the hit determination based on the winning of the game ball. When a predetermined variation display start condition is satisfied, the display LED group 74a starts variation display in which the eight LEDs are repeatedly turned on and off. In the display LED group 74a, a combination (display pattern) by turning on / off the eight LEDs is displayed as a special symbol. The display LED group 74a performs stop display after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after starting variable display.

  When the result of the hit determination based on the winning of the game ball to the second start port 44 is a win, the combination of lighting and extinguishing of the eight LEDs of the display LED group 74a (special symbol) becomes a specific stop display mode. . Thus, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a specific stop display mode, the transition of the gaming state is determined, the shutter 48 is driven to open and close in a predetermined pattern, and the gaming state in which a game ball can win the big winning opening 47 Become. In the following description, the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display unit 74 based on the winning of the game ball at the second starting port 44 is referred to as a second special symbol.

  Thus, in the display LED groups 73a and 74a of the first special symbol display unit 73 and the second special symbol display unit 74, when the first or second special symbol is stopped and displayed in a specific stop display mode, The transition from the gaming state (normal gaming state) to the winning gaming state that is advantageous to the player is determined. In the present embodiment, the hit determination includes a big hit determination and a small hit determination. That is, when the result of the hit determination is a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to the big hit gaming state as a winning gaming state. Further, when the result of the hit determination is a small hit, the gaming state is shifted to the small hit gaming state as a winning gaming state. As described above, in the present embodiment, two types of hit gaming states are provided as gaming states that shift from the normal gaming state.

  The first special symbol hold display section 75 and the second special symbol hold display section 76 indicate the number of executions of the variable display of the special symbol being held (hereinafter referred to as “the special symbol variable display hold count”). To display. The first special symbol hold display section 75 includes display LEDs 75a and 75b. The second special symbol hold display section 76 includes display LEDs 76a and 76b. The first special symbol hold display unit 75 and the second special symbol hold display unit 76 display the number of times of special symbol change display hold by turning on / off the display LEDs 75a and 75b and 76a and 76b. The display mode of turning on / off the display LEDs 75a and 75b and 76a and 76b is the same as that of the display LEDs 72a and 72b of the normal symbol hold display section 72.

  Hereinafter, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above, an outline of internal processing when a game ball wins the first start port 43 or the second start port 44 will be described.

  When the game ball wins the first start port 43, the winning game ball is detected by the first start port switch 43a, and the first special symbol display unit 73 starts to display the variation of the first special symbol. Further, when a game ball is won at the first start opening 43 during the change display of the first special symbol, the game to the first start opening 43 is stopped until the first special symbol during the change display is stopped. Execution (start) of the variable display of the first special symbol based on the winning of the ball is suspended. Thereafter, when the first special symbol being displayed in a variable state is stopped and displayed, the variable display of the first special symbol that has been suspended is started.

  When the game ball wins the second starting port 44, the winning game ball is detected by the second starting port switch 44a, and the second special symbol display unit 74 starts the variable display of the second special symbol. Further, when a game ball is won at the second start opening 44 during the variation display of the second special symbol, the game to the second start opening 44 is continued until the second special symbol during the variation display is stopped. The execution (start) of the variable display of the second special symbol based on the winning of the ball is suspended. Thereafter, when the second special symbol being displayed in a variable manner is stopped and displayed, the variable display of the first special symbol that has been suspended is started.

  In the first special symbol display unit 73 and the second special symbol display unit 74, the special symbols (first and second special symbols) do not change at the same time. That is, while one of the first special symbol display unit 73 and the second special symbol display unit 74 is displaying a special symbol variation display, the other display unit does not perform a special symbol variation display. . In the present embodiment, when execution of the variable display of the first and second special symbols is suspended, priority is given to the start winning at the second start port 44, and the variable display of the second special symbol is performed.

  In addition, an upper limit is set for the number of suspensions of the variable display of the first and second special symbols. In the present embodiment, the number of suspensions of the variable display of the first and second special symbols is set to an upper limit of 4 times. Therefore, the maximum number of suspensions of the special symbol variation display is eight times, which is the total number of suspensions of the special symbol variation display due to winning in the first start port 43 and the second start port 44.

  In addition, during the change of the first or second special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 73 and the second special symbol display unit 74, the identification symbol consisting of numbers changes on the liquid crystal display device 16 except in specific cases. Is displayed. In the present embodiment, symbols from “1” to “8” are used as the numbers. In addition, the identification symbol variably displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 is displayed with the first or second special symbol being variably displayed on the first special symbol display unit 73 and the second special symbol display unit 74 being stopped and stopped. Is displayed. The identification symbol is also used as presentation identification information.

  Further, when the first or second special symbol stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display unit 73 and the second special symbol display unit 74 is in a specific stop display mode, the player is notified that it is a win. The effect image to be displayed is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. In the present embodiment, as described later, a plurality of types of hits are provided. Moreover, the specific stop display mode in the case where the first or second special symbol is stopped and displayed is set corresponding to the winning type. In such a configuration, the combination of identification symbols that are stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 is a specific display that can be recognized by the player according to the specific stop display mode of the first or second special symbol. It becomes an aspect. Thereby, the player can recognize the type of winning in addition to winning. Note that some of the winning types have a specific display mode that makes it difficult for the player to recognize according to the specific stop display mode of the first or second special symbol. According to this, it is difficult for the player to recognize the winning and the type of the winning.

[basic specifications]
Hereinafter, the basic specifications of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a table showing the basic specifications of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Specifically, FIG. 6A is a table showing the specifications of the special symbol game. FIG. 6B is a table showing the specifications of the normal symbol game. FIG. 6C is a table showing the hit distribution. FIG. 6D is a table showing the hit types. Note that the data in the tables shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D is stored as a table in the main ROM 102.

  In the special symbol game, the big hit determination is performed in a low probability state or a high probability state. In this way, in a special symbol game, a gaming state in which a big hit determination is performed in a low probability state is simply referred to as a low probability state (or a normal state or an uncertain change state). In a special symbol game, a gaming state in which a big hit determination is performed in a high probability state is simply referred to as a high probability state (or probability variation state). Thus, when the gaming state becomes a probable change state, a state more advantageous than the normal state is given to the player.

  In the normal symbol game, the normal symbol determination is performed in a high probability state. When the result of the normal symbol determination is a win, the normal electric accessory 45 is released (normal hit game) for a relatively long time. In this way, in a normal symbol game, a gaming state in which normal symbol determination is performed in a high probability state and the normal electric accessory 45 is released for a relatively long time is referred to as an electric support state. In the electric support state, the time per normal symbol determination is shorter than that in the case of not being in the electric support state. As described above, a state in which the current state is the electric support state and is performed in a short time per normal symbol determination is referred to as a time reduction state. Note that the high probability state of the normal symbol determination is configured to be able to shift when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot. Moreover, the high probability state of the normal symbol determination ends when a predetermined end condition is satisfied, for example, when the time reduction state ends.

  In the normal symbol game, the normal symbol determination is not performed in a gaming state other than the short-time state. As described above, a gaming state in which normal symbol determination is not performed (a gaming state other than the short-time state) is referred to as a normal state (or a non-short-time state). In this way, when the gaming state becomes the short-time state, a state more advantageous than the non-short-time state is given to the player. The time reduction state is continued until a hit determination (a big hit determination and a small hit determination) is performed a predetermined number of times after the transition from the normal state, for example, in a special symbol game.

  As described above, the normal state is a gaming state in which the big hit determination is performed in a low probability state in the special symbol game, and a gaming state in which the normal symbol determination is not performed in the normal symbol game.

  First, the specifications of the special symbol game will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (a), in the special symbol game, the probability that the result of the big hit determination in the low probability state (normal state) is a big hit (hereinafter referred to as the big hit probability) is the first start port 43 and the second Regardless of the start winning prize of the start port 44, it is commonly set to 1/200 (one coefficient for 200 random values). In addition, the jackpot probability in the high probability state (probability variation state) is 1/100 (200 random number values) in common in any of the start winnings of the first starting port 43 and the second starting port 44. 2 coefficients). In addition, the probability that the result of the small hit determination is a winning by the start winning of the second start port 44 (hereinafter referred to as the small hit probability) is 1/4 (50 coefficients for 200 random numbers). Is set. In addition, the small hit determination by the start winning of the 1st start port 43 is not performed. In other words, the probability that the small hit game is started based on the winning of the game ball at the second starting port 44 is that the small hit game is started based on the winning of the game ball at the first starting port 43. It is set higher than the probability.

  In addition, the number of STs is set to 100 times in common regardless of whether the first winning opening 43 or the second starting opening 44 is a big hit due to the starting prize. Note that ST (special time) is a probability variation state that ends according to the number of times (number-of-times cut type). In the following description, unless otherwise specified, “times” indicates the number of hit determinations (big hit determination and small hit determination) after shifting to the probability variation state.

  Note that the ST number is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 when a super-probability change state described later is reached. Specifically, when the super-probability change state is entered, 0 is displayed as the initial value. Each time the hit determination is repeated once (the determination result is lost), a state in which a numerical value is added one by one is displayed. Then, when the numerical value of the number of STs reaches 100, the super-probability change state ends. The initial value may be 100 instead of 0. Thus, when the initial value of the ST count is 100, the numerical value is subtracted by 1 each time the hit determination is repeated once.

  In addition, the number of winning balls for winning at the first starting port 43 is three, the number of winning balls for winning at the second starting port 44 is one, and the number of winning balls for winning at the general winning ports 49, 50, 51 is The number of prize balls for 10 winning prizes to the big winning opening 47 is set to 15 respectively. Further, the maximum winning count number per opening of the big winning opening 47 in the big hit game is set to 10 counts. Further, the maximum winning count number per opening of the ordinary electric accessory 45 in the normal symbol game is set to 10 counts. Further, regardless of the start winning prizes of the first start opening 43 and the second start opening 44, the number of jackpot symbols is set to 100 in common. Further, the number of small winning symbols in the case of starting winning a prize at the second starting port 44 is set to 100.

  Next, the specifications of the normal symbol game will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, in the normal symbol game, the normal symbol determination is not performed in a low probability state. In addition, the probability that the result of the normal symbol determination in the high probability state is set to 100/100 is set. In addition, when the result of the normal symbol determination is successful, the second start port 44 (ordinary electric accessory 45) is opened three times for 1.5 seconds, which is a relatively long time.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6C, the big hit and the small hit distribution will be described.

  As shown in FIG.6 (c), the big hit by the start winning of the 1st starting port 43 is distributed to six types of big hit contents (big hit type). Specifically, the jackpot due to the start winning of the first start opening 43 is distributed to 15R probability change, substantially 10R probability change, substantially 5R probability change, 15R normal, substantially 10R normal, and substantially 5R normal. The contents of these jackpots are set so as to correspond to special figures (1) jackpots -1 to 6 as jackpots by the start winning of the first starting port 43, respectively.

  Specifically, the 15R probability variation is set corresponding to the special figure (1) big hit -1. Further, a special 10R probability change is set corresponding to the special figure (1) big hit -2. Further, a special 5R probability variation is set corresponding to the special figure (1) big hit -3. Moreover, 15R normal is set corresponding to special figure (1) big hit -4. Further, in response to the special figure (1) big hit -5, substantially 10R normal is set. Further, in response to the special figure (1) big hit -6, a substantial 5R normal is set.

  In addition, the jackpot due to the start winning of the second starting port 44 is distributed into six types of jackpot contents (jacket types). Specifically, the jackpot due to the start winning of the second start opening 44 is distributed to 15R probability change, substantial actual appearance small probability change, special probability change, 15R normal, real actual appearance small normal, special normal. These jackpot contents are set so as to correspond to the special figure (2) jackpots -1 to 6 as a jackpot by the start winning of the second starting port 44, respectively.

  Specifically, the 15R probability variation is set corresponding to the special figure (2) big hit -1. In addition, a substantial variation of the ball appearance is set corresponding to the special figure (2) big hit -2. In addition, special probability variation is set corresponding to special figure (2) big hit -3. Moreover, 15R normal is set corresponding to special figure (2) big hit -4. Further, a special normal amount of balls is set corresponding to the special figure (2) big hit -5. Also, special normal is set corresponding to special figure (2) big hit -6.

  The small hits are divided into two types of small hit contents (small hit types). Specifically, the small hits are divided into two times (1) and two times (2). These small hit contents are set so as to correspond to the special figure (2) small hits -1 and 2 as the small hits, respectively. Specifically, two times of opening (1) is set corresponding to the special figure (2) small hit -1. Further, in response to the special figure (2) small hit -2, the opening twice (2) is set.

  Here, the “number” column (notation) shown in the table of FIG. 6C shows the number of big hit symbols or the number of small hit symbols corresponding to each hit content. That is, as described above, since the number of jackpot symbols by the start winning of the first start port 43 is 100, the special figure (1) jackpot -1 to 6 is a jackpot by the start winning of the first start port 43, Probability (expected value) for each distribution is set to be 25%, 15%, 10%, 25%, 15%, 10%. Similarly, when the special figure (2) jackpot -1 to 6 is a jackpot due to the start winning of the second start port 44, the probability (expected value) to be distributed is 25%, 15%, 10%, It is set to be 25%, 15%, 10%. Similarly, the special figure (2) small hits -1 and 2 are set so that the probability (expected value) to be allocated is 98% and 2%, respectively, when the small hits are small hits.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), special figure (1) big hit -1 to 6, special figure (2) big hit -1 to 6, and special figure (2) small hit -1 and 2, A short time is set after each winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is completed. The number of time reductions given after the winning game ends is set to be different depending on the state of the special symbol game and the normal symbol game when the big hit determination or the small hit determination is performed.

  Here, the notation “HH” shown in the table of FIG. 6C indicates that the special symbol game is in a probable change state and the normal symbol game is in a short-time state. The notation “HL” indicates that the special symbol game is in a probable variation state and that the normal symbol game is in a non-time-short state. The notation “LH” indicates that the special symbol game is in an uncertain change state and the normal symbol game is in a short time state. The notation “LL” indicates that the special symbol game is in a non-probable change state and the normal symbol game is in a non-time-short state. Furthermore, the notation “between high probabilities” indicates that a special symbol game is given a high probability state, that is, a maximum of 100 time reductions.

  In such a setting, for example, when the special symbol game is in a non-probable change state and the normal symbol game is in a non-time-short state (in the case of “LL”), the special symbol (1) big hit -1 or 6 big hit , 50 times are assigned. On the other hand, for example, similarly in the case of “LL”, if the special figure (1) big hit -2 to 5 big hits, the number of time reductions is not given. That is, in the case where the special symbol game is in a non-probable change state and the normal symbol game is in a non-time-short state, if it is a big hit due to the start winning of the first start opening 43, 35% (special figure (1) big hit- The number of time reductions is given 50 times with a probability of 25% in the case of 1 + 10% in the special figure (1) big hit -6), and the time reduction number is not given with the remaining 65% probability.

  In the case of the small hit, after the small hit game is finished, the game state before the small hit is not changed in principle and is maintained as it is. Specifically, when a small hit is made during the ST, the ST is restarted after the small hit game is finished, so as to continue counting from the ST count related to the hit determination for the small hit. For example, during the ST, when the small hit is made at the 60th time, the ST is restarted so that counting from the 61st time after the small hit game is completed. In this case, the remaining number of STs after the end of the small hit game is 40 times. Similarly, when a small hit is made during the short-time state, the short-time state is resumed after the small-hit game is finished, so that counting is continued from the number of times related to the hit determination.

  As an exception to the above principle, for example, if a small hit is made at the 100th time (which is the final time of ST) during ST, ST is ended after the small hit game ends (the state before the small hit) Is not maintained). Similarly, for example, if a small hit is made at the 100th time in the short-time state of 100 times, the short-time state is ended after the small-hit game is finished (the state before the small-hit is not maintained).

  Hereinafter, the winning content (big hit content and small hit content) will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the content of the big hit (type of big hit) is 15R probability variation, 15R normal, substantial 10R probability variation, substantial 10R normal, substantial 5R probability variation, substantial 5R normal, special probability variation, special normal, substantial output. There is a slight variation, and a small amount of actual appearance. In addition, two small openings (1) and (2) are provided as small hit contents (small hit types).

  15R probability change and 15R normal are big hits where the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 per round is set to 27.996 seconds in all 15 rounds when a big hit game is started. is there. As described above, in the 15R probability variation and 15R normal, when the big hit game is started, the upper limit number of game balls are set to be able to win the big winning opening 47 in all rounds.

  The real 10R probability change and the real 10R normal means that when the big hit game is started, the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 per round in the first to tenth rounds is 27.996 seconds when the big hit game is started. This is a jackpot in which the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 per round in the eleventh to fifteenth rounds is set to 0.102 seconds. In this way, in the actual 10R probability change and the actual 10R normal, when the big hit game is started, the game ball is set to be able to enter the big winning opening 47 in the 1st to 10th rounds, and in the 11th to 15th rounds. The game ball is set so as to be difficult (substantially impossible) to win the big winning opening 47.

  Real 5R probability change and real 5R normal means that when the big hit game is started, the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 per round in the first to fifth rounds is 27.996 seconds when the big hit game is started. This is a big hit in which the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 per round in the sixth to fifteenth rounds is set to 0.102 seconds. As described above, in the real 5R probability change and the real 5R normal, when the big hit game is started, the game ball is set to be able to enter the big winning opening 47 in the 1st to 5th rounds, and in the 6th to 15th rounds. The game ball is set so as to be difficult (substantially impossible) to win the big winning opening 47.

  The special probability change and special normal are set so that the big winning opening 47 is opened three times in the first round out of all 15 rounds when the big hit game is started, and the first round In the first and second opening, the opening number of the big winning opening 47 is set to 0.896 seconds, and in the remaining third opening, the opening number of the big winning opening 47 is set to 26.466 seconds. From the 15th round to the 15th round, the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 per round is a big hit set at 27.966 seconds. In this way, in the special probability change and special normal, when the big hit game is started, it is difficult to win the game ball in the big winning opening 47 in the first and second rounds in the first round (for example, 1 per round It is set so that the upper limit number of game balls can be won in the big winning opening 47 in the remaining 3rd release and 2nd to 15th rounds. In the special probability change and special normal, the interval between releases between the second release and the third release in the first round is set to 5.0 seconds.

  When the big hit game is started, the number of seconds in which the big winning opening 47 is opened per round in the first to second rounds of all 15 rounds is 0. Is set to 896 seconds, and the third to fifteenth round is a big hit in which the number of seconds for opening the big winning opening 47 per round is set to 0.102 seconds. As described above, in the case where the actual appearance is small and the actual appearance is small, when the big hit game is started, it is difficult to enter the game ball into the big winning opening 47 in all rounds (more specifically, the first and second rounds). Is set so that, for example, one game ball is won per opening and the game ball is almost impossible to win after the third round. Note that the interval between rounds between the second round and the third round is set to 5.0 seconds in the case where there is a substantial change in the actual number of balls and the normal number of balls in the actual number.

  Opening twice (1) and (2) are small hits that open the big winning opening 47 twice every 0.896 seconds when the small hit game is started. That is, the small hit game is to operate the big prize opening 47 in a predetermined opening / closing manner. Thus, in the two-time open (1) and (2), even if the small hit game is started, the game The ball is set so that it is difficult to win the ball in the big winning opening 47 (for example, about one winning per opening). In the second opening (1), the small hitting end interval after the opening of the second large winning opening 47 is set to 1.0 second. In the second opening (2), the small hitting end interval after the opening of the second big winning opening 47 is set to 5.0 seconds.

  Thus, when the type of jackpot is special probability variation and special normal, the number of seconds for opening the big winning opening 47 in the first and second rounds of the first round, and when the jackpot is small (two open (1) And (in the case of (2)), the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 in the first and second opening is set to 0.896 seconds which are the same as each other. In other words, the special probability variation and special normal and the small hits (opening twice (1) and (2)) have the same opening mode of the big winning opening 47 until the second opening of the big winning opening 47 is completed. Is set. In this way, the special probability variation and special normal big hit games open and close the big winning opening 47 in a predetermined opening and closing mode (pseudo small hit opening and closing mode) that looks like a small hit game in the first and second rounds of the first round. It is something to be made.

  It should be noted that in the small hits (opening twice (1) and (2)), the winning end intervals after the opening of the second big winning opening 47 are set to be different from each other. Specifically, in the second opening (1), the hit end interval after the opening of the second big winning opening 47 is set to 1.0 second. Also, in the second opening (2), the hit end interval after the opening of the second big winning opening 47 is set to 5.0 seconds.

  In addition, the interval between the opening between the second opening and the third opening in the special probability change and special normal and the small hit end interval in the second opening (2) of the small hits are the same number of seconds. (5.0 seconds). That is, in the special probability change and special normal, and the small hit two times opening (2), the opening manner of the big winning opening 47 is set to be the same until the third opening of the big winning opening 47 is started. In other words, the special probability change and special normal jackpot games are determined to be jackpot games after the third release of the first round is performed. Thus, the special probability variation and special normal jackpot games are operated in the pseudo small hit opening / closing mode, and then the special winning opening 47 is opened / closed in a specific opening / closing mode (opening / closing mode after jackpot finding) that turns out to be a big hit game. It is something to be made.

  Similarly, the number of seconds for opening the big winning opening 47 in the opening of the first and second rounds when the type of the big hit is a real change in the number of balls and the normal number of balls is normal, and in the case of a small hit (open twice) In the case of (1) and (2)), the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 in the first and second opening is set to 0.896 seconds which are the same as each other. In other words, the actual payout small change, the normal play small normal, and the small hits (opening twice (1) and (2)) are the big prize opening 47 until the second opening of the big prize opening 47 is completed. Are set to be the same.

  In addition, the interval between rounds between the opening of the second round and the opening of the third round in the actual change of the actual number of balls and the normal amount of the actual number of balls, and the small hit end interval in the second opening (2) of the small hits Are set to the same number of seconds (5.0 seconds). That is, the actual appearance of a small amount of balls and the normal amount of small amount of balls and the small opening twice (2) means that the opening of the big winning opening 47 is continued until the third opening of the big winning opening 47 is started. Set the same. In this way, the big hit game of the real hitting small change and the real hitting small normal hit game is a big winning opening 47 in a predetermined opening / closing mode (pseudo small hit opening / closing mode) that looks like a small hit game at the opening of the first and second rounds. Is opened and closed.

[Game flow]
Below, the flow of the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described using FIG. 7 and FIG.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the game proceeds while repeating the transition to an appropriate gaming state at a predetermined timing. Here, a corresponding production mode is set for each of the gaming states. Various production contents are set in the production mode. That is, when the game is started, the game state is shifted to an appropriate game state, and an effect in the effect mode corresponding to the transferred game state is performed. In the present embodiment, effect modes 1 to 6 are mainly provided as effect modes.

  As shown in FIG. 7, at the start of the game, in many cases, the game state is a normal game state (non-probability change state / non-time reduction (non-electric support) state). In the normal gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 1 is performed as the effect mode (step S900). The transition from the normal gaming state to another gaming state is mainly triggered by the result of the hit determination by the start winning of the first starting port 43. Exceptionally, for example, when there is a hold of the variable display of the second special symbol when 100 power support states are completed, for example, the hit determination of the second special symbol is the maximum number of hold times in the normal gaming state. When the upper limit is set to four times and the result of the determination results in some big hit, the power support state is entered. However, since this is a rare case, it is omitted from this drawing. It should be noted that, since the power support state has been completed for the above four times, it is possible to return to the power support state if a big hit is made at that time. While performing the hit determination, the player may have a sense of expectation as a special production mode different from the production mode 1.

  In the normal gaming state, the big hit determination is performed by starting winning of the first starting opening 43 by so-called left-handed. In addition, when the result of the big hit determination by the start winning of the first start opening 43 becomes a big hit and the gaming state shifts to the short time (electric support) state, so-called right-handed is performed. Thus, while the time saving (electric support) state continues, the big hit determination is performed by the start winning of the second start port 44. In addition, although the result of the big hit determination by the start winning of the first starting port 43 is a big hit, the gaming state does not shift to the time-saving (electric support) state (the gaming state is a non-time saving (non-electric support) state Left-handed).

  When the gaming state shown in step S900 is in a non-probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the production in the production mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit judgment (win judgment) is a special figure (1) big hit When -1, the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state to the probability variation state / short time (electric support) state. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 1 is ended, and the effect in the effect mode 2 is started (steps S901 and S902). In the gaming state in which the effect in the effect mode 2 is performed, the ST number is set to 100 times, and the time reduction number is set to 50 times.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S902 is a probable change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 2 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (2) big hit− When it becomes any one of 1 to 3, the gaming state shifts to a probability variation state / short time (electric support) state (steps S910, S911). That is, the gaming state after the transition is the same as the gaming state before the transition. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 2 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 3 is started. Note that, in the gaming state in which the effect in the effect mode 3 is performed, the ST number is set to 100 times, and the time reduction number is set to continue during the probability changing state (up to 100 times).

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S911 is in the probabilistic state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 3 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (2) big hit − When any of 1 to 3 is reached, the gaming state shifts again to the probability variation state / short time (electric support) state (steps S912 and S911). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 3 is continued. Further, with the transition of the gaming state, the ST number and the short time number counted until the big hit is cleared. That is, the ST number and the time reduction number are counted from 0.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S911 is in the probabilistic state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 3 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (2) big hit − When any of 4 to 6 is reached, the gaming state shifts to a non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state described later (steps S913 and S921). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 3 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 4 is started.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S911 is a probable change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 3 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (win determination) is determined (open twice ( In 1) and (2)), the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the hit. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the hit is a predetermined number (100 times), the ST (probability variation state) and the short-time state end, so that the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state. (Steps S914, S915; Yes, S900). That is, the production in the production mode 3 is finished, and the production in the production mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the hit is not the predetermined number (100 times), the current gaming state (probability change state / short time (electric support) state) is maintained, and the ST number and the short time number are cleared. The count is not restarted (steps S914 and S915; No). That is, the production in the production mode 3 is continued.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S911 is in the probabilistic state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 3 is performed, the result of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (win determination) is lost. The gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is a predetermined number (100 times), the ST (probability change state) and the short-time state end, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state. (Steps S916, S915; Yes, S900). That is, the production in the production mode 3 is finished, and the production in the production mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not a predetermined number (100 times), the current gaming state (probability change state / short time (electric support) state) is maintained, and the ST number and the short time number are cleared. The count is not restarted (steps S916, S915; No). That is, the production in the production mode 3 is continued.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S902 is a probable change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 2 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (2) big hit− If it becomes any of 4 to 6, the gaming state shifts to the non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state (steps S920 and S921). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 2 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 4 is started. In the gaming state in which the effect of the effect mode 4 is performed, the number of time reductions is set to 100 times.

  Further, when the gaming state shown in step S921 is the non-probable change state / short time (electric support) state and the production mode 4 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (2) big hit −1 If it becomes any of 3 from 3, the gaming state shifts to a probability variation state / short time (electric support) state (steps S922 and S911). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 4 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 3 is started. Along with this transition of the gaming state, the short time count counted until the big hit is cleared.

  Further, when the gaming state shown in step S921 is the non-probable change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect mode 4 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (2) big hit -4 If it becomes any of 6 from 6, the game state will again shift to the non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state (steps S923, S921). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 4 is continued. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the short time count counted until the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S921 is in the uncertain change state / short time (electric support) state and the production mode 4 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (win determination) is determined (open twice (1 ) And (2)), the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the hit. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the hit is a predetermined number (100 times), the short-time state ends, so that the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S924, S925; Yes, S900). That is, the effect in effect mode 4 ends and the effect in effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, if the number of hit determinations related to the hit is not the predetermined number (100 times), the current gaming state (non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state) is maintained, and the short time number is not cleared. The count is restarted (steps S924, S925; No). That is, the effect in effect mode 4 is continued.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S921 is an uncertain change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 4 is performed, the results of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (win determination) are lost. Then, the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is a predetermined number (100 times), the time reduction state ends, so that the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S926, S925; Yes, S900). That is, the effect in effect mode 4 ends and the effect in effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, if the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not the predetermined number (100 times), the current gaming state (non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state) is maintained, and the short time number is not cleared. The count is restarted (steps S926, S925; No). That is, the effect in effect mode 4 is continued.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S902 is a probable change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 2 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (the hit determination) is determined (open twice ( In 1) and (2)), the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the hit. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the hit is a predetermined number (50 times), the ST (probability variation state) continues, while the time reduction state ends, so the probability variation state / non-time reduction ( The gaming state shifts to the (non-electric support) state (steps S930, S931; Yes, S933). That is, the production in the production mode 2 is finished, and the production in the production mode 5 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the hit is not the predetermined number (50 times), the current gaming state (probability change state / short time (electric support) state) is maintained, and the ST number and the short time number are cleared. The count is restarted (steps S930, S931; No). That is, the effect in effect mode 2 is continued.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S902 is in the probabilistic state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 2 is performed, the result of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (win determination) is lost. The gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is a predetermined number (50 times), the ST (probability variation state) continues, while the time reduction state ends, so the probability variation state / non-time reduction ( The gaming state shifts to the (non-electric support) state (steps S932, S931; Yes, S933). That is, the production in the production mode 2 is finished, and the production in the production mode 5 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not a predetermined number (50 times), the current gaming state (probability change state / short time (electric support)) is maintained, and the ST number and the short time number are cleared. The count is restarted (steps S932, S931; No). That is, the effect in effect mode 2 is continued.

  As described above, when the production in the production mode 2 is finished and the production in the production mode 5 is started, the ST (probability variation state) continues, while the time reduction (electric support) state is finished. That is, the player makes a left strike instead of a right strike. In the present embodiment, the effect in effect mode 5 is set to the same content as the effect in effect mode 1. Thus, when the production of the production mode 5 is started, the player enters a gaming state (latent probability variation state) in which it is difficult to recognize that the ST (probability variation state) is continuing. The production in the production mode 5 may have the same content as the production in the production mode 1, and may be performed by notifying the player that the latent probability changing state has been determined.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S933 is a probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the effect of the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is the special figure (1). When either the big hit -1 or 2 is reached, the gaming state shifts to the probability changing state / short time (electric support) state (steps S934, S911). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 5 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 3 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of STs counted until the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S933 is a probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the effect of the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is the special figure (1). When the big hit is -3, the gaming state shifts again to the probability variation state / non-time saving (non-electric support) state (steps S935 and S933). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 5 is continued. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the ST number counted until the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S933 is a probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the effect of the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is the special figure (1). When the big hit is -4 or 5, the gaming state shifts to a non-probability change state / non-time saving (non-electric support) state (that is, a normal gaming state) (steps S936 and S900). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 5 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 1 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of STs counted until the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S933 is a probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the effect of the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is the special figure (1). When the big hit is -6, the gaming state shifts to a non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state (steps S937 and S951). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 5 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 6 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of STs counted until the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S933 is a certain change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the production in the production mode 5 is performed, The gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is a predetermined number, ST (probability change state) ends, so that the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S938, S939; Yes). , S900). That is, the production in the production mode 5 is finished, and the production in the production mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not a predetermined number, the current gaming state (probability change state / non-time saving (non-electric support) state) is maintained, the ST number is not cleared, and the count is The process is resumed (steps S938, S939; No). That is, the production in the production mode 5 is continued.

  Note that the predetermined number of times in step S939 is set according to what the presentation of the presentation mode 5 currently being started is triggered. Specifically, when the production of the production mode 5 currently being performed is triggered by the number of hit determinations being 50 after the production of the production of the production mode 2 is started (step S931; Yes). ), The predetermined number of times in step S939 is 50 (from the start of the effect in effect mode 5). On the other hand, the currently performed effect in the effect mode 5 is the special figure (1) big hit -2 or 3 shown in step S960, or the special figure (1) big hit -3 shown in step S935. Is started as a trigger, the predetermined number of times in step S939 is 100 (from the start of the effect in effect mode 5).

  Further, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is a non-probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (1 ) When the big hit is -6, the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state to the non-probable change state / short time (electric support) state. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 1 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 6 is started (steps S950 and S951). In the gaming state in which the effect in the effect mode 6 is performed, the number of time reductions is set to 50.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S951 is in the uncertain change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect of the effect mode 6 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special figure (2) big hit When it becomes any one of -1 to 3, the gaming state shifts to a probability change state / short time (electric support) state (steps S952 and S911). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 6 ends and the effect in the effect mode 3 is started. Along with this transition of the gaming state, the short time count counted until the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S951 is in the uncertain change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect of the effect mode 6 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special figure (2) big hit When any of -4 to 6 is reached, the gaming state shifts to a non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state (steps S953 and S921). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 6 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 4 is started. Along with this transition of the gaming state, the short time count counted until the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S951 is in the uncertain change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 6 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (win determination) is determined (opened twice). In (1) and (2)), the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the hit. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the hit is a predetermined number (50 times), the time-short state is completed, so that the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S954, S955; Yes, S900). That is, the effect in effect mode 6 ends and the effect in effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the hit is not the predetermined number (50 times), the current gaming state (non-probability change state / short time (electric support) state) is maintained, and the short time number is not cleared. The count is restarted (steps S954, S955; No). That is, the production in the production mode 6 is continued.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S951 is the non-probable change state / short time (electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 6 is performed, the results of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (win determination) are lost. Then, the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations related to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is a predetermined number (50 times), the time reduction state ends, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S956, S955; Yes, S900). That is, the effect in effect mode 6 ends and the effect in effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not a predetermined number (50 times), the current gaming state (non-probability change state / short time (electric support)) is maintained, the short time number is not cleared, Counting is resumed (steps S956, S955; No).

  Further, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is a non-probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (1 ) When the big hit is -2 or 3, the gaming state shifts to the probability variation state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state (steps S960, S933). That is, the production in the production mode 1 is finished, and the production in the production mode 5 is started.

  Further, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is a non-probable change state / non-short-time (non-electric support) state and the effect in the effect mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (win determination) is a special figure (1 ) When the big hit is -4 or 5, the game state shifts to the normal game state again. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect in the effect mode 1 is continued (steps S970 and S900).

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is a non-probable change state / non-time-saving (non-electric support) state and the production of the production mode 1 is performed, if the result of the big hit judgment (hit judgment) is lost, The normal gaming state is maintained. That is, the effect in effect mode 1 is continued (steps S980 and S900).

  In such a game flow, when the production mode 2 is started (step S902), the ST state is set to 100 times by shifting the game state to the probability change state / short time (electric support) state. The Similarly, when the effect mode 3 is started (step S911), the ST state is set to 100 times when the gaming state shifts to the probability variation state / short time (electric support) state. Thus, after the production mode 2 or 3 is started (that is, after ST is started), for example, when the result of the hit determination is a small hit, the current gaming state is maintained (in principle) after the small hit game ends. , ST count is not cleared and counting is resumed. In this way, the effect in the effect mode 2 or 3 is continued.

  Here, as described above, when the small hit game is started, the big winning opening 47 is opened twice so that one game ball is won per opening. In other words, when the production mode 2 or 3 is started (when ST is started), for example, the number of hit determinations is a predetermined number of times until the production mode ends (until the ST ends). In the meantime, the small hit game can be repeated. In this way, when the small hit game is repeatedly performed, a prize ball can be obtained by the small hit game, and the number of game balls at hand of the player can be increased.

  In the following, an ST in which a prize ball is obtained by a small hit game and the number of game balls in the player's hand can be increased is referred to as a super-probability change state. In addition, a game in which a winning ball is obtained by a small hit game after entering the super-probability change state and the number of game balls in the player's hand is increased is referred to as rush (RUSH). That is, the rush (per time) continues from the big hit that triggered the transition to the super-probable change state until the next big hit or the end of the short-time state. As described above, in the present embodiment, a game in which the short-time state ends (for example, a game of 100 hits or 50 hits described later) is a rush end condition.

  In addition, after the production mode 2 is started, when the production mode 3 is started by any one of the special figures (2) jackpot -1 to 3, the game state before and after the jackpot is in a highly probable state. For this reason, it is assumed that the super-probable variation state continues. In such a case, it is assumed that the rush is continuously performed (the second rush is performed).

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a super-probable change state is set, a payout display regarding the acquired payroll is performed. The detailed explanation about the above-mentioned payout display will be described later.

[Special symbol memory check processing]
Hereinafter, a subroutine (special symbol storage check process) performed in step S101 of FIG. 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S110, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the control state flag is a value (00H) indicating a special symbol storage check. If the main CPU 101 determines that the control state flag is a value indicating a special symbol storage check, it moves the process to step S111. On the other hand, when the main CPU 101 determines that the control state flag is not a value indicating the special symbol storage check, the main CPU 101 ends the present subroutine.

  In step S <b> 111, the main CPU 101 performs processing for determining the presence or absence of start memory. In this process, when the main CPU 101 determines that there is no special symbol game start memory, that is, from the first special symbol start memory area (0) to the first special symbol start memory area (4) or the second special symbol start memory. If no data (a random number for hit determination) is stored from the area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, if the main CPU 101 determines that there is a start memory (more specifically, a start memory corresponding to at least one of the first and second special symbols), the process proceeds to step S113.

  In step S112, the main CPU 101 performs a demo display process. In this process, the main CPU 101 performs a process of setting a demonstration display permission value in the main RAM 103. The main CPU 101 sets a value that permits execution of the demonstration display as the demonstration display permission value when the state in which the special symbol game start-up memory is 0 is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). Then, the main CPU 101 sets a demonstration display command when the demonstration display permission value is a predetermined value. The demonstration display command is supplied from the main CPU 101 of the main control circuit 100 to the sub CPU 201 of the sub control circuit 200. Thereby, the demonstration display is performed on the liquid crystal display device 16 under the control of the sub-control circuit 200. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 ends this subroutine.

  In step S113, the main CPU 101 performs a process of determining whether or not the start memory corresponding to the second special symbol is zero. In this process, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not there is data in the second special symbol start storage area (4) from the second special symbol start storage area (0), and the start memory corresponding to the second special symbol start storage area is zero. That is, if it is determined that no data is stored from the second special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), the process proceeds to step S115. On the other hand, in the main CPU 101, the start memory corresponding to the second special symbol is not 0, that is, data is stored from the second special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4). If it is determined, the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S <b> 114, the main CPU 101 performs a process of setting a value (02H) indicating the variation of the second special symbol as a variation state number in a predetermined area of the main RAM 103. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S116.

  In step S <b> 115, the main CPU 101 performs a process of setting a value (01 </ b> H) indicating the variation of the first special symbol as a variation state number in a predetermined area of the main RAM 103. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S116.

  In step S116, the main CPU 101 performs a process of setting a value (01H) indicating special symbol variation time management as a control state flag. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S117.

  In step S117, the main CPU 101 performs special symbol memory transfer processing. In this process, when the special symbol to be variably displayed is the first special symbol, the main CPU 101 transfers each of the data from the first special symbol start storage area (1) to the first special symbol start storage area (4). A process of shifting (storing) from the first special symbol start storage area (0) to the first special symbol start storage area (3) is performed. When the special symbol to be variably displayed is the second special symbol, the main CPU 101 uses the second special symbol start storage area (1) to the second special symbol start storage area (4) for the second special symbol. A process of shifting (storing) from the special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (3) is performed. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S118.

  In step S118, the main CPU 101 performs a big hit determination process. In this process, the main CPU 101 reads out the high probability flag, and selects one hit determination table from a plurality of hit determination tables having different numbers of determination values (hit determination values) that are big hits based on the read high probability flag. To do. That is, when the high probability flag has a predetermined value, the high probability hit (big hit) determination table with a large number of jackpot determination values is referred to, and when the high probability flag is not the predetermined value, the big hit determination A normal hit (big hit) determination table with a small value is referred to. Thus, when the high probability flag is a predetermined value, that is, when the gaming state is a high probability state (probability variation state), the probability of shifting to the big hit gaming state is improved as compared with the normal time.

  Then, the main CPU 101 extracts a random number value for the hit determination of the special symbol start storage area previously extracted in the first special symbol start storage area (0) and the second special symbol start storage area (0). And the selected hit determination table. Then, the main CPU 101 determines that it is a big hit when the random number for hit determination and the big hit determination value match. On the other hand, the main CPU 101 determines that it is not a big hit (is lost) when the random number for hit determination and the big hit determination value do not match. In this way, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not to enter a big hit gaming state that is advantageous to the player (big hit determination) in the big hit determination processing. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S119.

  In step S119, the main CPU 101 performs a small hit determination process. The small hit determination process is performed when the big hit determination process in step S118 is not a big hit. In this process, the main CPU 101 pre-sets the hit determination random number value of the special symbol start storage area previously set in the first special symbol start storage area (0) and the second special symbol start storage area (0). It is determined whether or not the determination value for the small hit matches. Then, the main CPU 101 determines that it is a small hit when the hit determination random number value matches the small hit determination value. On the other hand, the main CPU 101 determines that there is no small hit (lost) when the hit determination random number value does not match the small hit determination value. In this way, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not to enter the small hit gaming state (small hit determination) in the small hit determination process.

  In this embodiment, two types of normal determination and high probability (probability variation) are prepared as a hit determination random number stored in the first special symbol start storage area and a hit determination table to be referenced. There are two types of hit determination tables, one for normal use and one for high probability (for probability variation), as a hit determination table to be referenced with the random number value for hit determination stored in the second special symbol start storage area. A table is provided. Note that the two types of normal hit determination tables have the same big hit probability, and the two types of high hit determination tables have the same big hit probability. On the other hand, the number of small hit determination values in the normal hit determination table and the high probability (probability change) hit determination table, which are referred to the hit determination random number value stored in the first special symbol start storage area. Are the same. In addition, the number of small hit determination values in the normal hit determination table and the high probability (probability change) hit determination table referred to the hit determination random number value stored in the second special symbol start storage area is the same. It is. In this way, the main CPU 101 is capable of acquiring a larger number of game balls than the normal game state on the condition that the game balls have passed through the start area (the first start port 43 and the second start port 44). 1 hit game state, second hit game state where a small amount of game balls can be obtained compared to the first hit game state, and third hit where a game ball equivalent to the second hit game state can be obtained It is an example of the hit determination means for determining whether to shift to the gaming state.

  It should be noted that the small hit probability due to winning in the first start opening 43 of the normal game may be larger or smaller than the small hit probability due to winning in the second start opening 44. The big hit probability due to winning in the first start opening 43 of the normal game may be larger or smaller than the big hit probability due to winning in the second start opening 44.

  As described above, the process of steps S118 and S119 determines one of big hit, small hit, and loss as a result of the hit determination for the special symbol game. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S120.

  In step S120, the main CPU 101 performs special symbol determination processing. In this process, the main CPU 101 determines a big hit symbol when the hit determination result is a big hit, determines a small hit symbol when the hit determination result is a small hit, and if neither the big hit nor the small hit is obtained, That is, in the case of losing, the losing symbol is determined. Details of this processing will be described later. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S121.

  In step S121, the main CPU 101 performs special symbol variation pattern determination processing. In this process, the main CPU 101 determines a variation pattern for determining a special symbol variation pattern based on the special symbol determined in the processing of step S120 and the result of the hit determination determined in the processing of steps S118 and S119. Select a table. Then, the main CPU 101 determines (selects) the variation pattern based on the rendering condition determination random number extracted from the rendering condition determination random number counter and the selected variation pattern determination table. The main CPU 101 stores the selected variation pattern in a predetermined area of the main RAM 103. The main CPU 101 determines the variation display mode of the special symbol in the first special symbol display unit 73 or the second special symbol display unit 74 based on the data indicating such a variation pattern.

  The data indicating the variation pattern stored in this way is supplied to the first special symbol display unit 73 or the second special symbol display unit 74. As a result, the special symbol is variably displayed on the first special symbol display unit 73 or the second special symbol display unit 74 with the determined variation pattern. Further, the data indicating the variation pattern stored in this way is supplied from the main CPU 101 of the main control circuit 100 to the sub CPU 201 of the sub control circuit 200 as a special figure variation pattern designation command. Thereby, the effect display according to the received special figure fluctuation pattern designation | designated command is performed by control of the sub control circuit 200. FIG. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S122.

  In step S122, the main CPU 101 performs special symbol variation time setting processing. In this process, the main CPU 101 sets a variation time corresponding to the determined special symbol variation pattern in the waiting time timer. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S123.

  In step S <b> 123, the main CPU 101 performs processing for setting a special symbol effect start command in the main RAM 103. The special symbol effect start command is supplied from the main CPU 101 of the main control circuit 100 to the sub CPU 201 of the sub control circuit 200. The sub control circuit 200 starts an effect based on the received special symbol effect start command. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S124.

  In step S124, the main CPU 101 performs processing for clearing the value of the storage area (0) used for the current variation display. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 ends this subroutine.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects are performed using an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16, sound generated from the speaker 24, light from the lamp 25, and the like.

  For example, FIG. 28 shows an example of the variation display of the identification symbol performed on the liquid crystal display device 16 as an effect when the big hit determination (hit determination) is a big hit. As shown in FIGS. 28 (a) and 28 (b), when the main control circuit 100 makes a hit determination, the variable display of the three identification symbols that have been stopped is started. Then, when a predetermined time elapses, as shown in FIG. 28C, the same identification symbols on the left and right are stopped to reach a reach state. Then, as shown in FIG. 28 (d), the middle identification symbol stops at the same identification symbol as the left and right identification symbols, and as shown in FIG. Is displayed. With such an effect, the player is notified that the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot. As shown in FIGS. 28A to 28D, the start memory (the number of holding times) of the variation display of the identification symbol is displayed at the lower left of the liquid crystal display device 16.

  In addition, the various effects include a super-probability changing effect that is performed when the gaming state is a super-probability change state. In the super-changing effect, a predetermined timing (specifically, timing of opening / closing of the special prize opening 47, etc.) is matched, and an image related to the opening / closing or the like is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16.

[Direction during super-probability]
In the following, the super-probability changing effect will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the image (effect) displayed in the super-probability changing effect, the winning effect displayed when the result of the hit determination is a win, and the hit effect is not performed And a non-hit effect (hereinafter referred to as a non-hit effect F-1).

  As shown in FIG. 30A, in the non-hit effect F-1, a state in which the angler hangs a fishing rod is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. The liquid crystal display device 16 displays three identification symbol variations.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the hit game effect includes an effect before the hit start, an effect after the first hit start, an effect after the second hit start, an effect after the third hit start, an effect after the hit opening, and the like.

  The pre-hit start effect of the win game time effect is an effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 before the hit start interval is started when the result of the hit determination is win. There are two types of effects before hitting. In the following, the two types of pre-hit effects are referred to as pre-hit effects A-1 and pre-hit effects A-2, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 30B, in the pre-hit effect A-1, the liquid crystal display device 16 first displays a state in which something is hit due to a fishing rod of the angler. And as shown to Fig.31 (a), a mode that the angler raises a fishing rod and fishes is displayed. Also, when the angler catches the fish, the three identification symbols that have fluctuated stop at “chance, chance, chance” almost simultaneously. In addition, catching fish suggests that a small hit game will start from now. Thus, when the pre-hit start effect A-1 is displayed, the player can recognize that the small hit game is now started.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (b), in the pre-hit effect A-2, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays a state where an angler has caught a fishing rod and hit something. And as shown in FIG.31 (b), a mode that a angler raises a fishing rod and a treasure chest is displayed. Also, when the angler picks up the treasure chest, the three identification symbols that have fluctuated stop at “chance, chance, chance” at substantially the same time. Note that the fact that the treasure box has been picked up indicates that either a small hit game, a big hit game, or a super-probability change rewind effect described later is started. Thus, when the pre-hit start effect A-2 is displayed, the player can recognize that one of the small hit games or the like is started from now.

  The first post-hit start effect of the hit game effect is an effect displayed after the hit start interval is started and before the hit end interval is started when the hit determination result is hit, The effect is initially displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. There are two types of effects after the first hit. Hereinafter, the two types of first after-start effects are referred to as first after-start effects B-1 and first after-start effects B-2, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (a), in the after-first-starting effect B-1, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays a state in which the angler is happy to catch a fish. In addition, along with the state that the angler is happy, the text “Large prize opening!” Is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (b), in the after-first-stage start effect B-2, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays a state in which the angler fishes a treasure chest and hangs his neck. In addition, a letter “Large prize opening!” Is displayed along with the angler's neck.

  The effect after the second hit start of the hit game effect is an effect displayed between the start of the hit start interval and the start of the hit end interval when the hit determination result is hit, This is the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 next to the effect after the first hit. Specifically, the second after-start effect is displayed during the hit end interval when the hit determination result is two small hits (1) and (2). In addition, when the result of the second hit is the start, when the result of the hit determination becomes special probability change or special normal, during the opening interval after the opening of the second round is completed among the three opening of the first round. Is displayed. In addition, the second after-start production is displayed during an inter-round interval between the second and third rounds when the result of the hit determination is a substantial change in the actual number of balls or a normal number of actual balls. . There are four types of effects after the start of the second hit. In the following, there are four types of effects after the start of the second hit, effects after the start of the second hit C-1, effects after the start of the second hit C-2, effects after the start of the second hit C-3, These are referred to as after-effects C-4.

  The second after-starting effect C-1 is displayed when the result of the hit determination is two small hits (1). In the second after-starting effect C-1, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays the state that the angler is happy after the first after-starting effect B-1.

  The second after-starting effect C-2 is displayed when the result of the hit determination is two small hits (2). As shown in FIG. 33A, in the second after-starting effect C-2, a state in which the treasure chest is empty is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. At the same time that the treasure box is empty, the word “sorry” is displayed together with “x” from the treasure box. The fact that “unfortunate” characters are displayed together with “x” in the treasure box indicates that the small hit game, the big hit game, or the super-probable change rewind effect shown to the player in the pre-hit start effect A-2. Among them, it suggests to the player that a small hit game has been performed. Thus, the player can recognize that the small hit game has been performed when the second after-start start effect C-2 is displayed.

  The second after-starting effect C-3 is displayed when the result of the hit determination is a substantial change in the actual amount of balls or a normal amount of actual balls. As shown in FIG. 33 (b), in the second after-starting effect C-3, a state in which the treasure chest is empty is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. At the same time that the treasure box is empty, a symbol “<<” (a symbol indicating rewinding of the video tape) is displayed together with an image of “video tape” from the treasure box. Note that the symbol “<<” is displayed together with the image of “video tape” from the treasure box, which means that the small hit game, the big hit game, or the super hit game shown to the player in the pre-hit effect A-2. Among the probable rewinding effects, this suggests to the player that a super-probable rewinding effect is performed. In this way, the player can recognize that the super-accuracy variable rewind effect is performed when the second after-starting effect C-4 is displayed.

  The second after-starting effect C-4 is displayed when the result of the hit determination is special probability change or special normal. As shown in FIG. 34, in the second after-start effect C-4, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays a state in which the treasure chest is empty. At the same time that the treasure box is empty, the text “Big hit!” Is displayed along with an image of “treasure (bundle)” from the treasure box. It should be noted that the fact that the character “big hit!” Is displayed together with the image of “treasure (was bundle)” from the treasure box indicates that the small hit game or the big hit game shown to the player in the pre-hit start effect A-2, Or, it is suggested to the player that the jackpot game is being performed in the super-probability rewinding effect. Thus, the player can recognize that the big hit game is being performed when the second after-start start effect C-4 is displayed.

  In this way, in the effects C-2 to 4 after the start of the second hit, the treasure box is empty and at the same time the contents ("sorry" characters, "videotape", "treasure") are displayed on the liquid crystal display device. 16 is displayed. That is, after the second hit start effects C-2 to 4, when the treasure box is empty and the contents can be visually recognized, the type of the effect can be determined by the player. Here, the second after-start effects C-2 to 4 are displayed for 5 seconds (for example, during the hit end interval when the small hit is released twice (2)). Such timing (timing at which the type of effect can be determined by the player) is preferably as late as possible in the 5 seconds. At least, the timing is preferably after one second, which is a hit end interval time when the small hits are released twice (2), has elapsed. By setting such timing, it is possible to delay the timing at which the hit type can be determined, thereby improving the interest of the player.

  The effect after the start of the third hit of the winning game effect is displayed after the hit start interval is started and before the hit end interval is started when the result of the hit determination (big hit determination) is a big hit. Among the effects, the effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 next to the effect after the second hit start. There are two types of effects after the start of the third hit. Hereinafter, the two types of after-starting effects D-1 are referred to as a third after-starting effect D-1 and a third after-starting effect D-2, respectively.

  In the third after-start effect D-1, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays the number of games (the number of STs and the number of short times) and the effect after the start of the after-start effect (first after-start effect). A state in which the content is rewound (reversely reproduced) is displayed. The effect in the third after-starting effect D-1 is called a rewind effect.

  In the third after-starting effect D-2, a so-called jackpot effect performed during the jackpot game is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. When the type of jackpot is 15R probability variation or 15R normal, the identification symbols are arranged in three numbers and a normal jackpot effect is executed.

  The post-hit release effect of the win game effect is an effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 during the hit end interval when the result of the hit determination (big hit determination) is a big hit. There are two types of post-hit effects. Hereinafter, the two types of post-hit effects are referred to as post-hit effects E-1 and post-hit effects E-2, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (a), in the post-hit effect E- 1, the characters “Super Probability Rewind!” Are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (b), in the post-hit effect E-2, the characters “continuation of super-accuracy change” are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16.

  The hit effect as described above is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 at a predetermined timing when the game state is the super-probability change state and the result of the hit determination is win. In the following, using FIG. 36 to FIG. 39, the small hits are opened twice (1) and (2) (hereinafter referred to simply as the small hit (1) and the small hit (2), respectively), Second special symbol in special probability variation / special normal (hereinafter, simply referred to as “special hit”) and real output small probability change / substantial output small normal (hereinafter, simply referred to as “real hit small hit”) The timing of the change, the winning game state, the opening / closing of the special winning opening 47, and the production contents will be described.

  In the following, with reference to FIG. 36, when the gaming state is a super-probable variation state, the variation of the second special symbol, the winning gaming state, the opening / closing of the big prize opening 47 when the small hit is 1, The timing of production contents will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 36, when the result of the hit determination is a small hit (1), the pre-hit effect A-1 is displayed before the hit start interval is started. Thus, the player can recognize that the small hit game is started from now.

  Further, when the hit start interval is started, the first after-start effect B-1 is displayed. Then, the winning prize opening 47 is opened twice together with the display of the first after-starting effect B-1. Here, in the small hit (1), the number of seconds for opening the big winning opening 47 is set to about 1.0 seconds. Therefore, by releasing the two big winning openings 47, several (for example, one game ball per opening) can be awarded to the big winning opening 47. That is, the player can play a small hit game while displaying the post-first hit after-effect B-1, and obtain a prize ball.

  In addition, when the second opening of the special winning opening 47 is completed (that is, when the winning end interval is started), the second after-starting effect C-1 is displayed. Further, when the hit end interval ends (that is, when the hit (small hit) gaming state ends), the non-hit effect F-1 is displayed. In this way, the player can recognize that the small hit game has ended and the super-probability changing state continues.

  In the following, with reference to FIG. 37, when the gaming state is a super-probable variation state, the variation of the second special symbol, the winning gaming state, and the opening / closing of the big winning opening 47 when the small hit (2) is reached And the timing of production contents will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 37, when the result of the hit determination is a small hit (2), the pre-hit effect A-2 is displayed before the hit start interval is started. In this way, the player can recognize that either the small hit game, the big hit game, or the rewind effect is started from now on.

  When the hit start interval is started, the first after-start effect B-2 is displayed. Then, together with the display of the first after-starting effect B-2, the big prize opening 47 is opened twice. Here, in the small hit (2), the number of seconds for opening the big winning opening 47 is set to about 1.0 seconds. Therefore, by releasing the two big winning openings 47, several (for example, one game ball per opening) can be awarded to the big winning opening 47. That is, the player can play a small hit game during the display of the post-first hit after-effect B-2 and obtain a prize ball.

  In addition, when the second opening of the special winning opening 47 ends (that is, when the hit end interval is started), the second after-start start effect C-2 is displayed. Thus, the player can recognize that the small hit game has been performed. Further, when the hit end interval ends (that is, when the hit (small hit) gaming state ends), the non-hit effect F-1 is displayed. In this way, the player can recognize that the small hit game has ended and the super-probability changing state continues.

  In the following, with reference to FIG. 38, when the gaming state is a super-probable variation state, the variation of the second special symbol, the winning gaming state, the opening / closing of the big prize opening 47, and the production in the case of a special hit The contents and timing will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 38, when the result of the hit determination is a special hit, the effect displayed before the hit start interval is started before the hit start interval is started (in the small hit (2)). The same effect A-2 before hitting is displayed. In this way, the player can recognize that either the small hit game, the big hit game, or the rewind effect is started from now on.

  When the hit start interval is started, a first after-start effect B-2 (same as the effect displayed in the hit start interval in the small hit (2)) is displayed. Then, together with the display of the first after-starting effect B-2, the big prize opening 47 is opened twice. Here, the two opening of the big winning opening 47 is based on the big hit game, unlike the small hits (1) and (2) as described above. Specifically, the two opening of the big winning opening 47 is the first two opening of the three opening of the first round in the big hit game. In the special hit, in the first two times of opening, the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 is set to about 1.0 seconds. Therefore, several game balls (for example, one per opening) can be awarded to the big winning opening 47 by the first two times of opening.

  Here, in the special winning, the opening mode of the first two large winning openings 47 is the same as the two opening modes of the small hits (1) and (2) (pseudo small hit opening / closing mode). In other words, in the case of a big hit game of special hits, if some game balls win the big prize opening 47 by the first two times of opening, it is a big hit game (not a small hit game). Regardless of this, it is possible to give the player the impression that the game ball has won in the small hit game.

  In addition, when the first two opening of the special winning opening 47 is completed (that is, when the interval between the second opening of the first round and the opening of the third round is started), After start, production C-4 is displayed. Thus, the player can recognize that the big hit game is being performed. That is, the player can recognize that the big hit game is being performed when the player has received the impression that the small hit game has been played. In this way, an impression can be given to the player as if the gaming state has developed (the advantage to the player has increased) after the small hit game has been played.

  In addition, when the interval between releases ends, an after-starting effect D-2 is displayed. In addition, when the opening of the big winning opening 47 in the 15th round is completed, an after-opening effect E-2 is displayed, and when the winning end interval ends (that is, when the winning (big winning game) ends) Displays a non-hit effect F-1. In this way, the player can recognize that the big hit game has ended and the super-probability change state continues.

  In the present embodiment, in the special hit big hit game, when the big winning opening 47 is opened and closed in the pseudo small hit opening and closing mode, the same effect as the case where the small win (2) is opened twice ( Although the first after-starting effect B-2) is displayed, an effect (similar effect) that is not the same and difficult for the player to discriminate may be performed. Here, the effect that is difficult for the player to distinguish means an effect that, when viewed by the player, in addition to the difference in appearance, the difference in the game state and the subsequent contents of the effect is difficult to understand at a glance. Yes.

  In the following, with reference to FIG. 39, when the gaming state is a super-probable variation state, the variation of the second special symbol, the winning gaming state, and the opening / closing of the big winning opening 47 in the case where the actual winning ball hit is small And the timing of production contents will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 39, when the result of the hit determination is a real hitting small hit, before the hit start interval is started (in the small hit (2), before the hit start interval starts. The same effect A-2 as before starting is displayed. In this way, the player can recognize that either the small hit game, the big hit game, or the rewind effect is started from now on.

  When the hit start interval is started, a first after-start effect B-2 (same as the effect displayed in the hit start interval in the small hit (2)) is displayed. Then, together with the display of the first after-starting effect B-2, the big prize opening 47 is opened twice. Here, the two opening of the big winning opening 47 is based on the big hit game, unlike the small hits (1) and (2) as described above. Specifically, the second opening of the big prize opening 47 is the opening of the first and second rounds in the big hit game. In the real winning small hit, in the opening of the first and second rounds, the number of seconds for opening the big prize opening 47 is set to about 1.0 seconds. Accordingly, by releasing the first and second rounds, several (for example, one game ball per round) can be awarded to the big winning opening 47.

  Here, in the real winning small hit, the opening mode of the big winning opening 47 in the first and second rounds is the same as the two opening modes of the small hits (1) and (2) (pseudo small hit opening / closing mode). It is. In other words, in the case of a big hit game with a small hitting game, if several game balls win the big winning opening 47 by opening the first and second rounds (not a small hit game but a big hit) It is possible to give the player the impression that the game ball has won a prize in spite of being a game.

  In addition, when the opening of the first and second rounds of the special winning opening 47 is completed (that is, when the interval between the second and third rounds is started), the effect C- 3 is displayed. Thereby, the player can recognize that the rewind effect is performed. Further, when the interval between rounds ends, the third after-starting effect D-1 is displayed. That is, a rewind effect is performed, and the contents of the effect after the number of games (ST number or short time) and after the start of the after-hit effect (first after-hit effect) are rewound (reversely played back). Is displayed.

  It should be noted that the number of seconds that the winning prize opening 47 is opened is set to about 0.1 seconds per round during rounds during which the rewind effect is performed, that is, from the third round to the fifteenth round. Therefore, it is difficult to win the game ball at the big winning opening 47 while the rewind effect is being performed. Further, when the opening of the big winning opening 47 in the 15th round is completed, the post-hit effect E-1 is displayed. Thus, the player can recognize that the rewind effect has been performed.

  Here, in the effect D-1 after the start of the third hit, a state is displayed in which the number of games (the number of STs and the number of time reductions) is cleared by rewinding the contents of the effect. In other words, the clearing of the number of STs and the number of time reductions was actually performed because the actual small hitting number was a big hit, but the impression that the time went back after the small hitting game was played. Can be given to the player. That is, it is possible to give the player an impression as if the gaming state has been developed (the advantage to the player has increased) after the small hit game has been played.

  When the hit end interval ends (that is, when the hit (big hit game) ends), the non-hit effect F-1 is displayed. In this way, the player can recognize that the big hit game has ended and the super-probability change state continues.

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit game with a substantial small hitting game, when the big winning opening 47 is opened / closed in the pseudo-small hit opening / closing mode, it is the same as when the small winning (2) is opened twice. The effect (post-first effect after start B-2) is displayed, but an effect (similar effect) that is not the same and difficult for the player to distinguish may be performed. Here, the effect that is difficult for the player to distinguish means an effect that, when viewed by the player, in addition to the difference in appearance, the difference in the game state and the subsequent contents of the effect is difficult to understand at a glance. Yes.

[Displaying balls on a liquid crystal display]
In the following, with reference to FIG. 40 and FIG. 41, a description will be given of the ball display displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 when the super-probable change state is reached.

  As shown in FIG. 41, the payout display is displayed on the upper right of the liquid crystal display device 16. Further, in the game display, the type of items displayed changes in accordance with the state of the game in the super-probability changing state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 40A, the item “total number of acquisitions” is displayed during the big hit (so-called first hit) big hit game that shifts to the super-probability changing state. In addition, a number is appropriately entered in “X” shown in the figure (the same applies hereinafter).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 40 (b), when a small hit game is performed during a rush, the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, the item “RUSH times”, Is displayed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 40 (c), during the second and subsequent big hit games, the item “total number of wins”, the item “big hit wins”, the item “big hit wins”, and the item “RUSH wins” , The item “RUSH times” is displayed.

  Further, even when the small hit game is not performed during the rush, the same display as in FIG. 40B is performed.

  The “total number of acquisitions” indicates the total number of winning balls acquired after the transition to the super-probability change state. In addition, “RUSH times” indicates the number of rushes performed after the transition to the super-probability change state. “Obtained jackpot” indicates the number of prize balls acquired in the current (this time) jackpot game. The “big hit” indicates the number of big hits (including the initial hit) after the transition to the super-probability change state.

  Further, “RUSH acquisition” indicates the number of prize balls acquired in the current (this time) small hit game when the small hit game is being performed during the rush. In addition, when the small hit game is not performed during the rush, the total number of winning balls acquired by the small hit game during the rush is shown. In addition, “RUSH acquisition” was acquired in small hit games during the rush, not in the number of prize balls acquired in the current (this time) small hit games, even when a small hit game is being played. The total number of prize balls may be indicated. In addition, in a gaming machine that counts the number of shots provided with a number-of-fires counter at the tip of the firing rail and a number-of-collections counter at the game ball collection port, the number of shots ( The difference number obtained by subtracting the number of balls used) may be displayed.

  In the following, an example of a ball display displayed in a game in the super-probability changing state will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 41 (a), when there is a big hit that shifts to the super-probability change state (when there is a so-called first hit), the liquid crystal display device 16 displays an effect during the big hit game (for example, ! ”Is displayed. The liquid crystal display device 16 displays the item “total number of acquisitions”, and displays the number of prize balls acquired during the big hit game, which is added each time. FIG. 41A shows a state just before the end of the first jackpot game. At the end of the jackpot game, “2250” is displayed in the item “total number of wins” as the number of winning balls won in the jackpot game.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 41B, when a transition is made to a super-probable change state and a rush is performed, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays an effect during the rush (for example, “RUSH!”) Is displayed. The liquid crystal display 16 displays the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “RUSH times”, and the number of prize balls acquired during the rush is added and displayed each time. The

  Specifically, since the number of rushes performed after shifting to the super-probability change state is the first time, “1 time” is displayed in the item “RUSH times”. In the state shown in FIG. 41 (b), the number of winning balls acquired in the current rush is 250, so “250” is displayed in the item “RUSH acquisition”. In the item “total number of acquisitions”, “2500”, which is a total number of 2250 prize balls acquired in the first big hit game and the prize balls acquired in the current rush, is displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 41 (c), when there is a first big hit after the transition to the super-probability change state, as in the case of the first hit, the liquid crystal display device 16 has an effect during the big hit game ( For example, “Large hit!” Is displayed. On the liquid crystal display device 16, an item “total number of acquisitions”, an item “accounting for big hits”, an item “number of big hits”, an item “RUSH acquisitions”, and an item “RUSH times” are displayed. The number of winning balls acquired is added and displayed each time. FIG. 41 (c) shows a state just before the end of the jackpot game.

  Specifically, since the number of rushes performed after the transition to the super-probability change state is still 1, “1 time” is displayed in the item “RUSH times”. In the state shown in FIG. 41 (c), the number of winning balls acquired in the previous (first) rush is 250, so “250” is displayed in the item “RUSH acquisition”. In addition, since the number of jackpots performed after the transition to the super-probability change state is the second time including the initial hit, “2 times” is displayed in the item “Big jackpot”. In the state shown in FIG. 41 (c), since the number of winning balls won in the current big hit game is 1500, “1500” is displayed in the item “Obtain big hit”. In addition, the item “total number of acquisitions” is a number “4000” which is a sum of the 1500 prize balls acquired in this big hit game and the total 2500 prize balls acquired at the time of the last rush. Is displayed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 41 (d), when the second big hit game is finished and the rush is continued, the liquid crystal display device 16 displays an effect during the rush (for example, “RUSH!”). Is displayed. The liquid crystal display 16 displays the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “RUSH times”, and the number of prize balls acquired during the rush is added and displayed each time. The

  Specifically, since the number of rushes performed after shifting to the super-probability change state is the second time, “2 times” is displayed in the item “RUSH times”. In the state shown in FIG. 41 (d), since the number of winning balls acquired in the current rush is 150, “150” is displayed in the item “RUSH acquisition”. In addition, the item “total number of acquisitions” includes “4150” which is a total number of 4000 winning balls acquired at the end of the second big hit game and the winning balls acquired in the current rush. Is displayed.

  In this way, in the super-probable change state, the player can display the ball display displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 so that the player can obtain the item “total number of wins”, the item “bonus win”, and the item “hit hit”. , Information such as the item “RUSH acquisition” and the item “RUSH times” can be appropriately acquired. Thus, the player's willingness to play can be promoted, and the interest of the player can be enhanced.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, a detailed description will be given of the ball display in the small hit (1) and the small hit (2).

  In FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, it is assumed that the total number of acquisitions is 2,000, RUSH acquisition is 500, and jackpot acquisition is 1500 before the winning game is started. In FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, one game ball is won each time the big winning opening 47 is opened in the small hit game (the number of prize balls is 15 per opening). To do. 36 and 37, for the convenience of explanation, the contents of the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “big hit acquisition” will be described. The item “RUSH acquisition” indicates not the number of prize balls acquired in the current (this time) small hit game but the total number of prize balls acquired in the small hit game during the rush.

  First, as shown in FIG. 36, a description will be given of the display of a game when the game state is a super-probable change state and the small hit is 1.

  In the case of a small hit (1), a small hit game is performed, and when one game ball is won in the first opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is changed from “500” to “515”. Is added to Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2000” to “2015”. Thereafter, when one game ball is won in the second opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is added from “515” to “530”. Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2015” to “2030”.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37, a description will be given of the display of a ball when a small hit is 2 when the gaming state is a super-probability change state.

  In the case of a small hit (2), a small hit game is performed, and when one game ball is won in the first opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is changed from “500” to “515”. Is added to Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2000” to “2015”. Thereafter, when one game ball is won in the second opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is added from “515” to “530”. Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2015” to “2030”. Thus, the ball display when the small hit (2) is the same as the ball display when the small hit (1).

  In the following, a detailed description will be given of the special ball display in special hits.

  In the special hit, as described above, the game has the impression that the game state has been developed (the advantage to the player has increased) after the small hit game has been performed by the super-probable change effect. Is given to the person. In this embodiment, by devising a special ball display in the case of a special hit, the player has a stronger impression as if the gaming state has developed after the small hit game has been performed. Giving. This will be specifically described below.

  First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 42, the special ball display process performed by the sub CPU 201 will be described. Note that this flow schematically describes the control executed in step S1404.

  In step S2001, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not a special jackpot game is started. If the sub CPU 201 determines that a special big hit game is performed, the sub CPU 201 shifts the processing to step S2002. On the other hand, when the sub CPU 201 determines that the special hit game is not performed, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S2002, the sub CPU 201 performs a payout display on the liquid crystal display device 16 when the small hit game is being performed during the RUSH. In other words, the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “RUSH times” are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. If this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2003. Note that this process can be omitted when the ball display when the small hit game is performed is always displayed from the RUSH entry.

  In step S2003, the sub CPU 201 determines whether the first or second opening of the first round big winning opening 47 has been performed. If the sub CPU 201 determines that the first or second opening of the first round big winning opening 47 has been performed, the process proceeds to step S2004. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the first and second releases of the first round big winning opening 47 are not performed, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S2004, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not a game ball has won the big winning opening 47. If the sub CPU 201 determines that the game ball has won the big winning opening 47, the process proceeds to step S2005. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the game ball has not won the big winning opening 47, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S2005, the sub CPU 201 adds the number of winning balls acquired based on winning in the big winning opening 47 to the item “RUSH acquisition”. If this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2006. In this way, when the big hit game is being performed, but the opening / closing mode of the big winning opening 47 is the pseudo small hit opening / closing mode, the number of acquired winning balls is displayed as the winning ball acquired in the rush.

  In step S2006, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not the third winning opening 47 of the first round has been opened. If the sub CPU 201 determines that the third opening of the first round big winning opening 47 has been performed, it moves the process to step S2007. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the third round opening of the first prize opening 47 is not performed, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S2007, the sub CPU 201 changes the display performed on the liquid crystal display device 16 from the ball display when the small hit game is being played during the RUSH to the ball display during the big hit game. That is, when the opening / closing mode of the big winning opening 47 is changed from the pseudo small hit opening / closing mode to the opening / closing mode after finding the big hit, the player can recognize that the game is a big hit game, so the display is changed. Thus, on the liquid crystal display device 16, the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “acquired big hit”, the item “big hit times”, the item “RUSH gains”, and the item “RUSH times” are displayed. When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2008. Note that this process can be omitted when the ball display when the small hit game is performed is always displayed from the RUSH entry.

  In step S2008, the sub CPU 201 changes to the display of the winning ball during the big hit game, and simultaneously subtracts the number of prize balls added to the item “RUSH acquisition” in step S2005 from the item “RUSH acquisition”. Further, the number of prize balls subtracted from the item “RUSH acquisition” is added to the item “Obtain a jackpot”. If this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2009.

  In step S2009, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not a game ball has won the big winning opening 47. When the sub CPU 201 determines that the game ball has won the big winning opening 47, the process proceeds to step S2010. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the game ball has not won the big winning opening 47, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S2010, the sub CPU 201 adds the number of winning balls acquired based on winning in the big winning opening 47 to the item “Obtaining a big hit”. When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2011.

  In step S2011, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not the special hit jackpot game has ended. If the sub CPU 201 determines that the special big hit game has ended, it moves the process to step S2012. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the special jackpot game has not ended, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S2012, the sub CPU 201 performs a payout display on the liquid crystal display device 16 when the small hit game is not being performed during the RUSH. In other words, the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “RUSH times” are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 returns the process.

  As described above, for the special ball display, the sub CPU 201 opens and closes the special winning opening 47 at an appropriate timing and causes the liquid crystal display device 16 to display a predetermined image. Note that the sub CPU 201 uses various commands related to the opening / closing of the special winning opening 47 and a timer related to the opening / closing of the special winning opening 47 in order to measure the appropriate timing.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 38, the special ball display in special winning will be described in detail.

  In FIG. 38, it is assumed that the total number of acquisitions is 2,000, the RUSH acquisition is 500, and the jackpot acquisition is 1500 before the winning game is started. Also, in FIG. 38, one game ball is won each time the first and second big winning openings 47 are opened in the first round in the big hit game (the number of prize balls is 15 per open). Shall. Also, in FIG. 38, for the convenience of explanation, the contents of the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “bonus acquisition” will be described. The item “RUSH acquisition” indicates not the number of prize balls acquired in the current (this time) small hit game but the total number of prize balls acquired in the small hit game during the rush.

  In the case of a special win, a big hit game is played, and when one game ball wins in the first opening of the first round of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is changed from “500” to “515”. Is added to Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2000” to “2015”. Thereafter, when one game ball is won in the second opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is added from “515” to “530”. Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2015” to “2030” (see steps S2001 to S2005 shown in FIG. 42).

  In addition, when the first opening of the first round of the grand prize opening 47 is started, “30” added to the item “RUSH acquisition” in the first and second opening of the first round of the big prize opening 47 is added. The current display is subtracted from “530”. That is, the item “RUSH acquisition” is “500”. In addition, the subtracted “30” is added to the item “Obtain a jackpot”. In other words, the item “acquired jackpot” is “30” (starting from the initial value of 0) (see steps S2006 to S2008 shown in FIG. 42).

  In addition, when a game ball wins the grand prize opening 47 in the third or later opening of the first prize opening 47, that is, the third opening or the second to fifteenth rounds, The prize ball based is added to the item “Obtain a jackpot” (see step S2009 and step S2010 shown in FIG. 42).

  In this way, in the special payout display, since it is the number of payouts in the big hit game, the number of acquisitions that should be added to the item “Obtain a big hit” is initially added to the item “RUSH acquisition”. ing. That is, while the big winning opening 47 is operating in the pseudo small hit mode, it is added to the item “RUSH acquisition”, and when the operation is started in the opening / closing mode after the big hit is found, the item “RUSH acquisition” is subtracted and the item “ Add to "Obtain a jackpot".

  In this way, in this embodiment, the player has a stronger impression as if the gaming state has evolved after the small hit game has been performed by devising the ball display in the case of a special hit. Is given to. That is, in a special hit that gives the player the impression that the game state has developed after the small hit game has been played, the player can display the ball without any discomfort. In addition, in this way, it is not possible to determine whether or not the big win is made in the addition display by the first and second open winnings, and the player before the performance execution of FIGS. It is difficult to discriminate whether the game is a big hit or a small hit, and the game entertainment can be improved.

  In the following, a detailed description of the payout display in the real payout small hit will be described in detail.

  In addition, in the real hit ball small hit, as mentioned above, the small hit game was performed (even though it was a game ball winning based on the big hit game, not the small hit game) due to the super-probable change effect. Impress the player. In this embodiment, by devising the display of the ball when the actual ball is a small hit, a small hit (although it is not a small hit game, it is a winning game ball based on a big hit game) This gives players a stronger impression that the game has been played. This will be specifically described below.

  First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 43, a description will be given of a process for displaying a ball in the actual small ball hit performed by the sub CPU 201. FIG. Note that this flow schematically describes the control executed in step S1404.

  In step S <b> 3001, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not a big hit game with a substantial hitting small hit is started. When the sub CPU 201 determines that a big hit game with a substantial small hitting ball game is performed, the sub CPU 201 shifts the processing to step S3002. On the other hand, the sub CPU 201 returns the process when it is determined that the big hit game with the actual small hitting ball hit is not performed.

  In step S <b> 3002, the sub CPU 201 performs a payout display on the liquid crystal display device 16 when the small hit game is being performed during the RUSH. In other words, the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “RUSH times” are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S3003. Note that this process can be omitted when the ball display when the small hit game is performed is always displayed from the RUSH entry.

  In step S3003, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not the first prize winning opening 47 of the first round or the second round has been opened. If the sub CPU 201 determines that the first or second round big prize opening 47 has been opened, the process proceeds to step S3004. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the first round and the second round big winning opening 47 are not opened, the process returns.

  In step S3004, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not a game ball has won the big winning opening 47. If the sub CPU 201 determines that the game ball has won the big winning opening 47, the process proceeds to step S3005. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the game ball has not won the big winning opening 47, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S <b> 3005, the sub CPU 201 adds the number of winning balls acquired based on winning in the big winning opening 47 to the item “RUSH acquisition”. When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S3006. Thus, although the big hit game is performed, the number of acquired winning balls is displayed as the winning ball acquired in the rush.

  In step S3006, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not the opening of the big winning opening 47 in the 15th round is completed (closed). If the sub CPU 201 determines that the opening of the 15th grand prize winning opening 47 has ended, it moves the process to step S3007. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the opening of the big winning opening 47 in the 15th round has not ended, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S3007, the sub CPU 201 sets the ST count value displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 to an initial value (0 in the present embodiment). When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S3008.

  In step S3008, the sub CPU 201 determines whether or not the big hit game with a substantial small hitting ball has ended. When the sub CPU 201 determines that the big hit game with a substantial small hitting ball has ended, the sub CPU 201 shifts the processing to step S3009. On the other hand, if the sub CPU 201 determines that the big hit game with a substantial small hitting ball has not ended, the sub CPU 201 returns the processing.

  In step S <b> 3009, the sub CPU 201 performs a payout display on the liquid crystal display device 16 when the small hit game is not being performed during the RUSH. In other words, the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “RUSH times” are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. In this case, the number of winning balls displayed in the item “RUSH acquisition” is maintained as it is before the big hit game with a small per capita game end. When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 returns the process.

  As described above, the sub CPU 201 opens and closes the special winning opening 47 at an appropriate timing and causes the liquid crystal display device 16 to display a predetermined image with respect to the appearance of the actual appearance in the small amount of appearance. Note that the sub CPU 201 uses various commands related to the opening / closing of the special winning opening 47 and a timer related to the opening / closing of the special winning opening 47 in order to measure the appropriate timing.

  In the following, with reference to FIG. 39, the display of the ball appearance in the actual ball small hitting will be specifically described.

  In FIG. 39, it is assumed that the total number of acquisitions is 2,000, the RUSH acquisition is 500, and the jackpot acquisition is 1500 before the winning game is started. Further, in FIG. 39, it is assumed that one game ball is won each time the first and second rounds of the big winning opening 47 in the big hit game are opened (the number of prize balls is 15 per open). . Also, in FIG. 39, for convenience of explanation, the contents of the item “total number of acquisitions”, the item “RUSH acquisition”, and the item “big hit acquisition” will be described. The item “RUSH acquisition” indicates not the number of prize balls acquired in the current (this time) small hit game but the total number of prize balls acquired in the small hit game during the rush.

  In the case of a real hitting small hit, a big hit game is played, and when one game ball wins in the first round opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is changed from “500” to “515”. Is added to Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2000” to “2015”. Thereafter, when one game ball is won in the second round opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “RUSH acquisition” is added from “515” to “530”. Accordingly, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2015” to “2030” (see steps S3001 to S3005 shown in FIG. 43).

  Here, the opening of the big winning opening 47 for the third and subsequent rounds is set so that it is difficult for the game ball to win a prize (in FIG. 39, the number of winnings is zero) in the real winning small hit. Accordingly, until the end of the big hit game, the item “RUSH acquisition” remains “530” when the opening of the big winning opening 47 in the second round is completed.

  When the opening of the big winning opening 47 in the 15th round is completed, the value of the ST number is set to an initial value during the hit end interval (steps S3006 and S3007 shown in FIG. 43).

  Then, when the hit end interval ends and the big hit game of the actual small hitting ball ends, a payout display when the small hit game is not being played is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16. Then, the item “RUSH acquisition” is set to “530”, and is maintained as it is before the big hit game of the actual small hitting game is finished. At the end of the big hit game, the item “RUSH acquisition” may be “0” as a restart instead of “530”.

  In this way, in the display of the actual payout in the small payout, since it is the number of payouts in the big hit game, the number of acquisitions to be added to the item “winning win” is added to the item “RUSH acquisition”. doing. In addition, even after the big hit game is over, the number of winning balls displayed in the item “RUSH acquisition” is maintained. An impression can be given to the player (as if a series of advantageous gaming states continue).

  In this way, in this embodiment, by devising the ball display when the actual ball is a small hit, the small ball (although it is not a small hit game, it is a game ball winning based on a big hit game) This gives the player a stronger impression that the winning game has been played. In other words, in the real hit small hits that give the player the impression that a small hit game has been performed (despite a game ball winning based on a big hit game, not a small hit game), the player It is possible to display the ball without any discomfort.

  In this way, when the game is in a very probable change state, it is possible to determine whether the game currently being played is a big hit game or a small hit game by devising a ball display when a big hit is achieved. It is difficult to improve the interest of the player in the game.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a demo screen is displayed when the game is interrupted for a predetermined time. The demo screen displays a jackpot history including information (data) related to the game in a time series including the rush.

  Hereinafter, the display of the jackpot history will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 44A shows an example of display of a big hit history (hereinafter referred to as big hit history P1). As shown in FIG. 44A, the jackpot history P1 displays “number of times”, “date / time”, “number of rotations”, “content”, “acquired”, and “total acquired”. Is done. Here, in “content”, three identification symbols (for example, “777”) in the case of a big hit and characters (for example, “RUSH”) indicating that the rush has been performed are displayed. Thus, in the big hit history P1, the big hit and the rush are displayed separately. In addition, “total winning” displays the number of prize balls obtained in one big hit game and the total number of prize balls obtained in the big hit game and the rush during the super-probability change state. .

  For example, in the first time, at 10 o'clock on May 18, three winning symbols “777” are a big hit, and 2250 prize balls are won in the big hit game. In the second time, “(1)” displayed in the number of rotations indicates that the rush is started by the last big hit. Thus, in the second time, 250 prize balls were won in the rush.

  In the fifth time, the number of rotations is 550, and three identification symbols “444” are big hits. This indicates that the rush started by the big hit shown at the third time ended in the middle of the big hit shown at the fifth time (specifically, when the number of revolutions reached 100). In this way, in the example shown in the jackpot history P1, the jackpot game is played twice including the first hit during the first to fourth times (that is, in the state of super-probability change), and the rush is performed twice. It has been broken. In addition, the total acquisition display indicates that a total of 4150 game balls have been acquired in the big hit game and rush while in the super-probability change state.

  In this way, in the jackpot history P1, the number of winning balls won during the rush and the prizes won in the jackpot game are the same as the item “RUSH acquisition” and the item “Number of jackpots” displayed as described above. The number of balls is displayed. The display of the jackpot history P1 allows the player to recognize the number of winning balls acquired in the jackpot game and the rush (small hit game) individually and collectively, and the information that the player wants to know is appropriate. Can be provided.

  The display of the big hit history can be changed to various displays in addition to the big hit history P1. For example, the display of the big hit history can be as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 44 (b) shows another example of the display of the big hit history (hereinafter referred to as the big hit history P2). As with the jackpot history P1 shown in FIG. 44 (a), the jackpot history P2 is displayed as “number of times”, “date and time”, “number of rotations”, “content”, and “total acquisition”. Is done. The big hit history P2 is mainly different from the big hit history P1 in that the content of the rush is subdivided in “content”.

  Specifically, in the big hit history P1, only “RUSH” is divided into “RUSH entry”, “RUSH continuation”, and “RUSH end”. Here, “RUSH entry” indicates that the rush is started by the last big hit. Further, “RUSH end” indicates that the rush is completed together with the ST when the number of hit determinations reaches a predetermined number.

  Further, in the example shown in the big hit history P2, the “RUSH continuation” shown in the fifth time indicates that a real hitting small hit is performed. Specifically, when the rush is started by the big hit shown at the third time, the actual hitting is a small hit after 80 revolutions. Here, in the real hitting small hitting game, as described above, the player is given the impression that the small hitting game has been performed (despite the winning of the game ball based on the big hit game, not the small hit game). An effect is given. Therefore, even in the big hit history P2, the real hitting small hit is actually a big hit, but it is displayed as if the rush continues, not the three identification symbols. Also, in the number of winning balls shown in “Acquired”, the total number of winning balls won in the big hit game with a small per game and the number of winning balls acquired in the actual rush (small hit game) is Is displayed.

  By displaying such a big hit history P2, there is a substantial amount of play that gives the player the impression that a small hit game has been played (although it is not a small hit game but a winning game ball based on the big hit game). When the winning big hit game is played, the big hit history without feeling uncomfortable for the player can be displayed.

  In the following, a detailed description will be given of the special ball display in special hits according to another embodiment.

  First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 45, a special ball display process performed by the sub CPU 201 will be described.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 45, the same steps as those in the flowchart of FIG. 42 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Further, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the item “Obtain a big hit” is displayed in the ball display when the small hit game is performed during the RUSH.

  In step S <b> 2105, the sub CPU 201 does not add the number of winning balls acquired based on winning to the big winning opening 47 to the item “acquired big hit”, but adds it to the item “total number of acquired”. If this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2006.

  In step S2108, the sub CPU 201 changes the display to be a ball display during the big hit game, and at the same time, sets the same number as the number of prize balls added to the item “total number of wins” in step S2105 to the item “big hit”. Add to "Acquire". If this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2009.

  In step S2110, when the game ball wins the big winning opening 47, the sub CPU 201 adds the acquired number of winning balls to both the item “total number of acquisitions” and the item “acquisition of big hit”. When this process ends, the sub CPU 201 shifts the process to step S2011.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 46, the special ball display according to another embodiment will be specifically described.

  46 differs from FIG. 38 only in the portion showing the payout display (the lowermost portion of the drawing).

  In the case of a special hit, a big hit game is performed, and when one game ball is won in the first opening of the first round of the big prize opening 47, the item “total number of acquisitions” is changed from “2000” to “2015”. Is added to. After that, when one game ball wins in the second opening of the big winning opening 47, the item “total number of acquisitions” is added from “2015” to “2030”. Note that while the item “total number of acquisitions” is added in this way, the item “big hit acquisition” remains “1500” (see steps S2001 to S2105 shown in FIG. 45).

  Here, the item “total number of acquisitions” indicates the total number of winning balls acquired, and means the total number of winning balls acquired in the small hit game and the winning ball acquired in the big hit game. ing. Therefore, while the number of winning balls is not added to the item “Obtain Big Bonus”, it is added to the item “Total Wins” to give the player the impression that the current game is a small hit game. Can be given to.

  In addition, when the first opening of the first round of the grand prize winning opening 47 is started, “30” added to the item “total number of acquisitions” in the first and second opening of the first round of the big winning prize opening 47. Is also added to the item “Obtain a jackpot”. In other words, the item “Obtain a jackpot” is “1530” (see steps S2006 to S2108 shown in FIG. 45). Note that the item “acquired jackpot” may be “30” instead of “1530” (the quantity acquired this time starts from 0 which is an initial value).

  In addition, when a game ball wins the grand prize opening 47 in the third or later opening of the first prize opening 47, that is, the third opening or the second to fifteenth rounds, The prize ball based is added to both of the item “total number of acquisitions” and the item “acquisition of jackpot” (see step S2009 and step S2110 shown in FIG. 45).

  In this way, in the special betting display according to another embodiment, since it is the number of payouts in the big hit game, the number of acquisitions to be added to the item “big hit acquisition” is initially set to the item “big hit”. Do not add to "Acquire". That is, while the big winning opening 47 is operating in the pseudo-small hit mode, it is added only to the item “total number of acquisitions”. . According to this, in a special hit that gives the player the impression that the gaming state has developed after the small hit game has been performed, it is possible to display the ball appearance to the player without a sense of incongruity. .

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is

A sub-control circuit 200 (display control means) for controlling the liquid crystal display device 16 for executing display relating to a game;
With
As the special hit game (big hit and small hit game), the big winning opening 47 is opened, and after the end, the big winning game that can be shifted to a gaming state advantageous to the player and the big winning opening 47 are opened. And a small hit game that cannot be shifted to a gaming state advantageous to the player after completion,
The advantageous gaming state includes a high probability state of a normal symbol in which the probability of normal symbol determination by the main control circuit 100 is higher than a normal probability, and the high probability state of the normal symbol can be shifted after the jackpot game ends. It will end when the end condition is met,
The probability of winning the small hit game based on winning of the game ball at the second starting port 44 is higher than the probability of winning the small hit game based on winning of the game ball at the first starting port 43. Set high,
The small hit game is a game in which the big prize opening 47 is operated in a predetermined opening and closing mode,
The jackpot game includes a special probability change and a special normal jackpot game (specific jackpot game) in which the jackpot 47 is operated in a specific opening / closing mode after being operated in a predetermined opening / closing mode,
The sub-control circuit 200 (acquisition game ball number counting means) is capable of executing counting with the start of the jackpot game as a delimiter as a delimiter for counting the number of acquired game balls,
The sub-control circuit 200 (display control means)
It is possible to display the number of acquired game balls based on the number of game balls counted by the sub control circuit 200 (acquired game ball number counting means) or the number of game balls related to the game balls in the high probability state of the normal symbol. ,
The first hit after start effect B-2 (small hit game effect) executed during execution of the predetermined opening / closing mode in the small hit game, and the special probability change and special normal big hit game (specific big hit game) The first post-start start effect B-2 (specific first special hit effect) executed during execution of the predetermined opening / closing mode can be executed by an effect that is difficult for the player to distinguish,
A second after-starting effect C-4 (continuous display effect) for notifying that the specific opening / closing mode is executed after the first after-starting effect B-2 (specific first special hit effect) is executed. Is feasible,
The number of game balls or the number of game balls related to the game ball acquired by winning at least the normal electric accessory 45 in the high probability state of the normal symbol and winning the big winning port 47 during the small hit game The item “RUSH acquisition” (the first cumulative number of game balls acquired), which is the total number of game balls acquired for data, and the winning of the big winning hole 47 during the jackpot game in the high probability state of the normal symbol It is possible to update and display for each winning a prize by distinguishing the item “Obtained jackpot” (second cumulative number of game balls) which is the total number of game balls acquired from the number of game balls acquired or the number of game balls related to the game balls. Specific display control can be executed,
When the special display change and special normal jackpot game (specific jackpot game) are executed when the specific display control is executed, in the special probability change and special normal jackpot game (specific jackpot game) The number of game balls acquired during execution of the predetermined opening / closing mode or the number of game balls acquired for a predetermined period, which is game ball data related to the game balls, is stored in the item “RUSH acquisition” (first cumulative acquired game ball number). Addition and update display are executed, and after the second after-starting effect C-4 (continuous display effect) is executed, the number of game balls acquired for the predetermined period is acquired in the item “RUSH acquisition” (first cumulative acquisition) It is subtracted from the number of game balls) and added to the item “Obtain a jackpot” (second total number of game balls acquired) for display.

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest of the player in the acquisition number display.
Specifically, when a big hit to be opened again after executing an opening / closing mode (pseudo-small hit opening / closing mode) that is difficult to distinguish from a small hit game, a prize was awarded during the execution of the pseudo-small hit opening / closing mode. The number of award balls is counted once as a very promising game ball (a game of small hit games). Then, when it is opened again after the pseudo small hit opening / closing mode, the number of winning balls is subtracted and added to the big hit game. Thereby, it is impossible to determine whether the player is a small hit game or a big hit game based on the increase display of the winning number while the pseudo small hit opening / closing mode is being executed, and whether the acquisition is based on the small hit game, It is possible to accurately display whether the winning is a big hit game.

In the pachinko machine 1,
The sub-control circuit 200 (display control means)
When the specific display control is being executed and the first after-starting effect B-2 (specific first special winning effect) is executed, and the advantageous gaming state is executed again, As the display of the item “RUSH acquisition” (first cumulative number of game balls), the item “RUSH acquisition” (first cumulative number of game balls that was displayed before the advantageous game state is executed again). ) Is displayed.

  With such a configuration, when an advantageous gaming state continues again thereafter, the cumulative number acquired so far is continuously displayed as an initial value, so that it is possible to make it appear that a series of advantageous gaming states.

In the pachinko machine 1,
The sub-control circuit 200 (display control means) displays the item “RUSH acquisition” (first cumulative number of game balls) and the item “big hit acquisition number” (second cumulative game balls) in time series. Based on this, history display can be executed.

  With this configuration, accurate display is possible even in the history display.

  Although the embodiment according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a game ball that is paid out as a prize ball, but the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the gaming machine according to the present invention cyclically uses game balls enclosed therein and plays the game using the number of game balls as data (game ball number data) (the game balls are not paid out as prize balls). ) It may be a circulating game machine. In addition, “the number of game balls acquired by a player or the number of game balls related to game balls” according to the present invention refers to the number of game balls given by winning a prize opening or the like, and consumption by launching. It also includes the number of difference balls obtained by subtracting the number of fired shots from the given number.

  The history display according to the present invention is not limited to the big hit history P1 or the big hit history P2. For example, in the history display according to the present invention, the display content may be appropriately determined (changed) by a player or the like. Further, the history display according to the present invention may display not only the current day but also data before the previous day. Further, the history display according to the present invention may be displayed during the game instead of the demonstration screen. The history display according to the present invention may be displayed on a display device (for example, a sub liquid crystal display device) different from the liquid crystal display device 16.

  When the history display according to the present invention is displayed during a game as described above, information relating to the game can be reflected in the history display in real time. In addition, when information related to a game is reflected in the history display according to the present invention in real time, for example, in the case of a super-probability change state, a special hit or the like is displayed in the history display, which is similar to the above-described display of the ball display ( For example, even a winning ball based on a big hit game can be displayed as a winning ball as a small hit game).

  Further, for example, in the big hit history P2, the number of winning balls obtained in the big hit game with the actual small hitting ball is not the total number of the winning balls acquired in the actual rush (small hit game), but 30 pieces of the big hit (Individually) may be displayed. In addition, “RUSH entry” of “content” may be “RUSH start” or the like, and various words can be selected. In addition, for example, the number of times the rush is started may be conspicuous by color-coding for each number (row).

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the payout display shown in FIG. 40 is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, in the game display, even during a big hit game or during a rush, the types of items displayed are not different, and the same type of items can be displayed. In FIG. 40 (b), when the small hit game is being played during the rush, the item “Obtain big hit” is not displayed, but it may be displayed. Further, in FIG. 40B, when the small hit game is performed during the rush, the item “big hit times” is not displayed, but it may be displayed. In addition, the item “big hit times” may be displayed when a small hit game is not being played during a rush.

  In addition, during the second and subsequent jackpot games shown in FIG. 40 (c), an item “total jackpot acquisition” indicating the total number of winning balls won in the jackpot game since the state of super-probability change is displayed. Also good. Also, when the total number of winning balls won in the jackpot game since the super-probability change state is indicated, for example, when two jackpot games are played, “each jackpot = 2250/1500”, “total jackpot total acquisition = 3750” The display divided for each time and the display that summarizes each time may be combined (simultaneously) or selected and displayed. Moreover, you may display these displays during a rush.

  Further, the ball display may be displayed on a different display device (for example, a sub liquid crystal display device) different from the liquid crystal display device 16.

  Moreover, the structure of the game area | region 55 is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, in the present embodiment, two start ports for detecting a winning of a game ball that triggers a change in special symbols are provided, but three or more start ports may be provided. Further, the arrangement of the first start port 43 and the second start port 44 is not particularly limited. In other words, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be configured not to be right-handed by disposing the second start port 44 on the left side of the stage 42 in the game area 55.

  Moreover, the basic specification of the pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. 6 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the big hit game, the big winning opening 47 is opened, and after completion, the game state is shifted to a game state advantageous to the player. , ST, various game states such as a so-called probable state until next time are included. In addition, for the effect of small hitting a small number of balls, advantageous game states include a short time state and various game states such as ST. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be a so-called V-ST machine that is used as an opportunity to shift, for example, a V prize to a V attacker to ST.

  In this embodiment, the number of winning balls displayed on the payout display is based on the winning of gaming balls at the big winning opening 47, but the number of winning balls on the ordinary electric accessory 45 (so-called electric chew). Items based on winnings may be displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the real winning small hit is a big hit of 15 rounds, and in the 1st to 2nd rounds of all 15 rounds, the number of open seconds of the big winning opening 47 per round is 0. It is set to 896 seconds, and in the 3rd to 15th rounds, the number of seconds for opening the big winning opening 47 per round is set to 0.102 seconds. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the real winning small hit is a big hit of two rounds, and the number of seconds of opening of the big winning opening 47 per round is set to 0.896 seconds, and between the first round and the second round A big hit (a big hit with an open pattern of 0.896 seconds + 0.1 seconds + 0.896 seconds) may be used in which the interval between rounds is set to 0.1 seconds. Further, the actual small hitting ball hit may be any one of 3 to 16 round hits as long as it is a big hit having an open pattern of 0.896 seconds + 0.1 seconds + 0.896 seconds.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the rush end condition is that the game of 100 hits or 50 hits is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the jackpot type of the second special symbol hit determination may include a jackpot type that does not shift to the short-time state after the jackpot game ends, and the rush end condition may be that the jackpot type is reached.

The history display in FIG. 44 is not only executed on the gaming machine, but also directly or indirectly connected to the gaming machine, and a data display machine that acquires information on the gaming machine by an external signal output from the gaming machine, It may be executed in a game hall device such as a pedestrian machine or a server in a hall.
The types of external signal output from gaming machines include jackpot signals (for each type), jackpot signals, time-short (RUSH) start signal (rising), time-short (RUSH) end signal (falling), winning prize winning signal, etc. Exists. Since the number of rounds or the number of small hits does not exist in the type of external signal output from the gaming machine, the game room device side has an accurate timing like the sub CPU of the gaming machine as shown in FIGS. However, it is possible to display the history display substantially accurately by setting the time in advance.
For example, when a special hit start signal is received, that is, at the end of the hit start interval (or the start timing of the hit start interval) in FIG. 38, when a predetermined time elapses, for example, from the second closing of the first round to the third time When 5.0 seconds, which is the estimated timing until the release, elapses, the item “RUSH acquisition number” is subtracted, the display is switched to the jackpot display screen, and the item “bonus acquisition” is started from 30. Note that the maximum time from the end of the hit start interval to the third release of the first round is 6.892 seconds (0.896 seconds + 0.1 seconds + 0.896 seconds + 5.0 seconds).
Thus, it becomes possible to acquire the effect similar to this invention with respect to a player also in a game hall apparatus by setting it as special.
In addition, in the case of a real winning small hit, even if a signal to that effect is received, the display is not switched to the big hit display screen, and the display during RUSH (for example, display of the item “RUSH acquisition” etc.) is continued. The number of prize balls displayed in “RUSH acquisition” or the like may be updated.
