Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine that prevents an advantageous game state from becoming monotonous in a mixer and allows acquired game balls to change according to a player's technique.SOLUTION: Once a first advantageous game state occurs after a jackpot, entry into a specific area becomes difficult while a special pattern varies 50 times, and an increase in the number of owned balls can be expected. If a jackpot does not occur during this period, a jackpot game easily occurs in a second advantageous game state to be shifted to thereafter, thus preventing the advantageous game state from becoming monotonous. In the first advantageous game state, entry into the specific area is prevented while entry into a second major winning hole is permitted, thus continuing the first advantageous game state until the special pattern varies 50 times at maximum, hence obtaining winning balls and causing the number of acquired game balls to change according to a player's technique.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 23

Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly to a type of ball game machine called a type 1 / type 2 mixing machine.

  There has been known a type of gaming machine called “type 1” that determines whether or not the game is successful and determines that it is a winning game when it is determined to be a winning game. In addition, by generating a small hit due to winning at the start opening, opening the large winning opening, and entering a specific area provided in the large winning opening, to a big hit game (also simply called a big hit) There are also two types of gaming machines that are migrated. In recent years, a gaming machine called a type 1 type 2 mixing machine that combines these gaming characteristics has also appeared (for example, Patent Document 1).

  A type 1 and type 2 mixer (hereinafter also simply referred to as a “mixer”) causes a type 1 game to be played during a normal game, and if a big hit occurs in a type 1 game during a normal game, it will be in an open extended state with a predetermined probability. Transition. The second type game is played during the open extended state, and when a big hit occurs in the second type game during the open extended state, the game is shifted to the open extended state after the big hit game ends with a probability higher than the predetermined probability. . By continuing the second type in the open extended state, it is possible to obtain many prize balls.

JP 2013-233375 A

However, since the second type hit easily occurs in the open extended state (the state where the occurrence frequency of the small hit game per hour is increased, hereinafter referred to as the advantageous game state) in the mixer, The advantageous gaming state becomes monotonous. Also, it is not limited to mixing machines, but only jackpot games have no way to increase the number of balls, and anyone can acquire a certain amount of balls in that jackpot game, so there are differences in the number of balls depending on the skill of the player. Was rarely attached.
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is intended to make a gaming machine capable of increasing the number of balls depending on the skill of the player while preventing the advantageous gaming state from becoming monotonous in the mixing machine. Objective.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the game ball enters the first start port, the second start port provided with an openable / closable blade member, and the first start port where the probability of entering the game ball does not change The first big hit game generating means for generating a big hit game when it is determined that the extracted numerical data is a big hit value, and the numerical data extracted when the game ball enters the second start port is A small hit game generating means for generating a small hit game when it is determined to be a small hit value, and a game ball entering a specific area provided in the big winning opening opened by the small hit game A second big hit game generating means for generating a big hit game; and a game state transition means for changing the gaming state to an advantageous gaming state set so that the occurrence frequency of the small hit game per hour is higher than usual. In front of the ball game machine The small hit game includes a small hit game A in which a game ball does not easily enter the specific area even if a game ball enters the big winning opening opened by the small hit game, and the small hit game A A small hit game B in which a game ball can easily enter the specific area is provided, and the advantageous game state includes a first advantageous game state and a second advantageous game state different from the first advantageous game state. The small hit game generating means generates a small hit game A with a higher probability than the small hit game B in the first advantageous game state, and more than the small hit game A in the second advantageous game state. The small hit game B is generated with a high probability.

  Here, “in the first advantageous game state, the small hit game A is generated with a higher probability than the small hit game B” means that “the small hit game B does not occur at all in the first advantageous game state”. Including. The same applies to the second advantageous gaming state. The “small hit game A in which a game ball is difficult to enter the specific area” also includes “in the small hit game A, a game ball cannot enter the specific area”. For example, in the small hit game A, the specific area is closed or narrowed so that it cannot enter the specific area, or the inside of the big winning opening opened in the small hit game A A mode in which there is no specific area in the part that can be reached by the game ball that has entered the big prize opening (in this aspect, there are a plurality of big prize openings, and the inside of the big prize opening opened in the small hit game B) Or a specific area in a part that can be reached by a game ball that has entered the big prize opening. In addition to the small hit game A and the small hit game B, there may be a third small hit game. Further, a big hit may be generated based on numerical data extracted when a game ball enters the second starting port.

  According to a first reference example of the present invention, in the bullet ball game machine according to claim 1, the gaming state transition means shifts to the second advantageous gaming state immediately after the first advantageous gaming state ends. It is characterized by being.

  Note that other game state transitions created by the game state transition means may exist. For example, there may be a case where only the first advantageous gaming state occurs or only a second advantageous gaming state.

  According to a second reference example of the present invention, in the bullet ball game machine according to claim 1 or the game machine of the first reference example, the specific region closed state that prevents the game ball from entering the specific region, and the specific A shutter member that changes to a specific area open state that allows game balls to enter the area, and a recovery port that receives a game ball that rolls on the shutter member when the specific area is closed Prepared upstream of the area, the period in which the specific area is closed until the specific area is released after the large winning opening by the small hit game is opened is a blocking period, and the large area opened by the small hit game Of the game balls that have entered the winning opening, the ratio that the game balls reach the shutter member during the blocking period is set so that the small hit game A is higher than the small hit game B. It is characterized by.

  In the third reference example of the present invention, in the ball game machine of the second reference example, the small winning game A and the small hitting game B have a common big opening that is opened. While the blocking period is the same for the winning game B, the maximum opening time of the big winning opening by the small winning game A, the maximum opening time of the large winning opening by the small winning game B, and the blocking period are arranged in order of shortness. In this order, the difference between the blocking period and the maximum opening time of the big winning opening by the small winning game A is tA, and the blocking period and the maximum opening time of the large winning opening by the small winning game B are The difference is tB, and tC, which is the time during which a game ball that has entered the special winning opening can reach the specific area, is tA <tC <tB.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, there are a plurality of types of advantageous gaming states, and the characteristics in each advantageous gaming state are different (the first advantageous gaming state is the probability of occurrence of a small hit game A that is difficult to enter a specific area. In the second advantageous gaming state, the probability of occurrence of a small hit game B that is easy to enter a specific area is high), so that the player does not feel monotonous. Further, if a game ball is inserted into the big winning opening opened by the small hit game A and the game ball is not allowed to enter the specific area, many small hit games A during the first advantageous game state. Can be generated, so that a large number of prize balls can be obtained by the large number of small hit games A. In addition, since the number of award balls obtained according to the number of times that a game ball is entered in the big winning opening during the small hit game A and is not entered in a specific area, the awarded winning ball depends on the skill of the player. Can be changed.

  According to the first reference example of the present invention, even in the first advantageous game state, even after the winning prize ball is increased by the small hit game A, the specific area is entered by the small hit game B in the second advantageous game state. By hitting a ball, it is possible to generate a big hit game.

  In the second reference example of the present invention, the ratio of the game balls reaching the shutter member during the blocking period out of the game balls entering the big winning opening opened by the small hit game is smaller than the small hit game B. The small hit game A is set higher. The blocking period is a period from when the big winning opening is opened by the small hit game until the shutter member is in the specific area open state (the shutter member is in the specific area closed state until the specific area is open). In other words, when the blocking period elapses after the grand prize opening is opened, the specific area is opened and game balls are allowed to enter the specific area. Until then, game balls have entered the specific area. Be blocked. According to the second reference example of the present invention as described above, in addition to the effect of the invention according to claim 1, the shutter member is in a specific area open state in both the small hit game A and the small hit game B (that is, as described above). “There is not a mode of opening multiple big winning entrances, and in the case of small hit game A, the one with no specific area opens the big prize opening”), “the desire to enter the specific area” and “specific area It is possible to give the player both the feeling that “I do not want to enter the ball”, which increases the preference.

  According to the third reference example of the present invention, in addition to the effects of the second reference example of the present invention, the operation of the shutter member is the same in the small hit game A and the small hit game B, so that the control is not complicated. effective.

The device 6 is controlled to display an effect image such as a pseudo symbol on the screen 6 a of the effect symbol display device 6.

  The main routine will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S70 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S75 that is repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed within the remaining time after executing the main process. This is referred to as “residual processing”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

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

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial settings (for example, writing a predetermined value to the predetermined area of the memory and setting a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol to each initial to the work area of the memory) Value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (S75).

  If a positive determination is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), an initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the initial random number value by 1 each time this process is executed. The initial random number value before this process is incremented by +1, but the random number value before this process is executed is the maximum. When the value is “199”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 200 integers from “0” to “199” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that is incremented by 1 every time the process is executed, similar to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is "199", the next process starts with the next process. Returning to the value of “0”, 200 integers from “0” to “199” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. Note that the initial value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 150, the jackpot determination random number is updated as “150” “151” “152”... “199” “0” “1”.

  When the big hit determination random number makes a round (updated 200 times), the value of the initial value random number at that time is made the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is incremented by 1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. Then, when the big hit determining random number makes one round again, the initial value random number at that time is changed to the initial value of the big hit determining random number. That is, this series of operations is repeated. In the above example, when the big hit determination random number becomes “149”, it is one round. Therefore, the value next to “149” is the value of the initial value random number. If the value of the initial random number is “87”, it changes to “149” “87” “88”... “199” “0” “1”. Next to is a new initial random number value. The jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates ten integers “0” to “9”, and is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. Return to. Similarly, the small hit determination random number update process (S35) is performed for the small hit relation, and the small hit symbol determination random number update process (S37) is performed. The small hit determination random number update process (S35) is an increment process that is incremented by 1 every time the process is executed. When the maximum value is “199”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next process, 200 integers from “0” to “199” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. The small-hit symbol determination random number update process (S37) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 10 integers from “0” to “9”, and is incremented by 1 for each process. Return to “0”.

  The winning determination random number update process (S40) following S37 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 120 integers from “0” to “119”, and is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. Return to a certain “0”. The number of values to be won is 30 in the normal gaming state and the second advantageous gaming state, and 40 in the first advantageous gaming state (the first advantageous gaming state and the second advantageous gaming state will be described later). . This winning determination random number update process is used for lottery of normal symbols, and other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are drawn special symbols. Used for. That is, the probability that the normal symbol is won is 1/4 in the normal gaming state and the second advantageous gaming state, and 1/3 in the first advantageous gaming state.

  The reach determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates 229 integers from “0” to “228”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and is the initial value “0”. Return to.

  The variation pattern determination random number update process (S50) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from “0” to “1020”, and is incremented by 1 for each process and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0".

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S55), confirmation of winning in the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12 and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed. In this embodiment, when a game ball wins the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. are acquired. However, the number that can be stored on hold is limited to four for the first start port 11 and no second start port 12, and the game ball is stored in the first start port 11 when the reserved memory is full. Even if a prize is won, only a winning ball is paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored on hold.

  Subsequently, a success / failure determination process (S60) is performed as condition establishment determination means for determining whether or not a big hit. When this success / failure determination process (S60) ends, each output process (S65) such as an image output process is subsequently executed. In each output process (S65), as the game progresses, the main control device 80 causes the production symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, the first big prize opening solenoid 14b, An output process is executed for each of the two major winning opening solenoids 15b and the like. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation processing (S55) that there is a winning game ball at each winning port on the game board 1, the winning ball data is output to the payout control device 81 so as to pay out the gaming ball as a winning ball. In the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 83, an error signal is output to the production symbol control device 82 to notify that there is an error when the pachinko machine 50 is abnormal. Each process is executed.

  The subsequent fraud monitoring process (S70) is a process for monitoring whether or not fraud is performed on the normal winning opening (the first left winning opening 31, the second left winning opening 32, the third left winning opening 33, the right winning opening 34). The process of determining whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number, and if so, is determined to be fraudulent and notifying that effect It is. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

  The above-described remaining process subsequent to this process is composed of the initial value random number update process (S75), but is the same process as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute this processing from S10 to S70 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the jackpot processing, the difference in the display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial random number is not uniform when the interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is executed once. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the big hit determination random number becomes extremely small. If the value of the initial random number (300 values from 0 to 299) when the big hit determination random number makes one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/300. The hit determination random number update process (S40) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The winning confirmation process in S55 is as shown in FIG. 7, and the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port 11 based on the detection signal of the first starting port switch 11a. Judgment is made (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this embodiment) It is determined whether the number is 4) (S105).

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), the above random numbers are stored as the first reserved memory, and the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110). End (return). If there are already four first hold memories (S105: yes), the hold process is not performed and the present process is terminated without increasing the number of lighting of the first special symbol hold number display device 18. Moreover, this process is complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 1st starting port 11 (S100: no). In addition, about the entrance into the 2nd starting port 12, it generate | occur | produces rarely in a normal state, and since there is no holding | maintenance memory | storage, it responds by another process.

  In the first special symbol success / failure determination process shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating based on the big hit flag (S <b> 150). If the determination in S150 is negative, the first special symbol is not changing (S155: no), and if the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S160: no), the process proceeds to S215 in FIG. In step S215, it is determined whether or not there is an on-hold storage in step S110. If there is this reserved memory (S215: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S230), and the process proceeds to S240. In S240, it is determined whether or not the changing special symbol (here, the second special symbol) is a hit (big hit or small hit). If a negative determination, that is, neither big hit nor small hit is made, the process proceeds to S245.

  In S245, the oldest stored memory is read (the stored memory is deleted), and the read jackpot determination random number is checked against the winning value to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S250). If (S250: yes), the winning symbol is determined by the jackpot symbol determining random number (S255). When the jackpot symbol is determined, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S260). In the process of S260, a variation pattern such as a variation time for jackpot of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 is determined. Thereafter, a jackpot setting process is performed (S265). The jackpot setting process is a gaming state after the big hit (whether it is a normal state, a first advantageous gaming state, a second advantageous gaming state, etc., depending on the determined big hit symbol. The first advantageous gaming state or the second advantageous gaming state) Are the game states in which the average fluctuation time of the special symbol is shortened, and in the second advantageous state, the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 15 that is released by the small hit also changes) and information on the big hit game (A big hit opening time, an opening pattern, a big hit ending time, the number of rounds, etc.). In the subsequent game state setting process of S270, the game state after the big hit is set. This is a process of setting a flag (a first advantageous flag described later) in accordance with the jackpot symbol (see FIG. 22) determined in S255. When the game state setting process (S270) ends, the process proceeds to S296.

  If it is determined to be off in S250, or if it is determined to be a win in S240, the process proceeds to S283, and a variation pattern such as a variation time is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number. The average variation time is 1 minute in the normal state, but is 10 seconds in the first advantageous game state and the second advantageous game state (see also FIG. 19). When the variation pattern is thus set in S283, it is determined whether or not the first advantageous flag is 1 (S285). If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to S287, the first advantageous number (described later) is decreased by 1, and the process proceeds to S296. To do. The first advantageous state flag indicates whether the current state is the first advantageous gaming state, where “1” indicates the first advantageous gaming state and “0” indicates the non-first advantageous gaming state. If S285 is negative, it is determined whether or not the second advantageous flag is 1 (S290). If affirmative, the process proceeds to S293, the second advantageous number (described later) is decremented by 1, and the process proceeds to S296. If S290 is negative, the process proceeds to S296. The second advantageous state flag indicates whether or not the current state is the second advantageous gaming state. “1” indicates the second advantageous gaming state and “0” indicates the non-second advantageous gaming state.

  In S296, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, data indicating any of special symbols, big hits, small hits, reach out (with out, but reach display), and out with no reach display and the variation time. A variation start command (display control command) including variation pattern data to be specified is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a second special symbol success / failure determination process is performed. In addition, when S215 is denied, it transfers to a 2nd special symbol success / failure determination process (FIG. 10). Further, the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbols by the processing of S296, but the main controller 80 also starts the variation of the special symbols almost simultaneously.

  In the second special symbol success / failure determination process shown in FIGS. 10 to 11, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating based on the big hit flag (S300). If the determination in S300 is negative, the second special symbol is not changing (S305: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S310: no), the process proceeds to S315 in FIG. In FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not a prize has been won for the second special figure starting port). If the determination is affirmative (S315: yes), random number extraction processing is performed (S330), and the process proceeds to S340. As described above, the second starting port 12 does not win unless the wing piece is released, and the wing piece is released when the game ball passes through the gate 17 and the normal symbol display device 7 is triggered by this. This is a case where a normal symbol that is displayed in a variable manner is won. When the normal symbol is won, the wing piece of the second start port 12 is opened once, and the opening time is 2.5 seconds at the longest regardless of the gaming state (see also FIG. 19). Note that the average variation time of the normal symbol is 10 seconds regardless of the gaming state. The contents of the random number extraction process (S330) include the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the small hit determination random number, the small hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. It is read from each counter.

  In S340, it is determined whether or not the changing special symbol (here, the first special symbol) is a big hit. If the determination is negative, that is, if it is not a big hit, the process proceeds to S345. In S345, the big hit determination random number read in S330 is collated with the win value to determine whether or not it is a big win (S350). If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), the big hit symbol determination process (S355), the fluctuation pattern Determination processing (S360), jackpot information setting processing (S365), gaming state setting processing (S370), special symbol variation start command transmission processing (S395) is performed. In addition, each process of these S355-S370 performs each process of S255-S270 mentioned above with respect to a 2nd special symbol instead of a 1st special symbol.

  If it is determined in S350 that it is not a big hit, it is determined whether or not it is a small hit (S373). The small hit is to open the second big prize opening 15 once. In FIG. 9, since there is no processing corresponding to S373, the small hit does not occur when the ball enters the first start port 11. Small hits are generated with a probability of 180/200 triggered by entering the second starting port 12. If S373 is affirmative, a small hit symbol is determined (S376), and a variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number (S380). The determination of the small hit symbol is performed by a random symbol for determining the small hit symbol acquired when the ball enters the second start port 12. This will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 24 (a), when the value of the small hit design determining random number is 0, the small hit design symbol 1, when the value of the small hit design determining random number is 1, the small hit design symbol 2,. When the value of the random number for determining the small hit symbol is 9, the small hit symbol 10 is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. When the small hit is also out (S373: no), the process proceeds to S383. In addition, when an affirmative determination is made in S340 (that is, when the changing first special symbol is hit), the process proceeds to S383. In S383, a variation pattern such as a variation time is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number. The fluctuation time is 30 minutes on average in the normal state, whereas it is 10 seconds on average in the first advantageous game state and the second advantageous game state (see also FIG. 19). When the variation pattern is thus set in S380 or S383, it is determined whether or not the first advantageous flag is 1 (S386). If the determination is affirmative, the first advantageous number is decremented by 1 in S389, and the process proceeds to S395. If a negative determination is made (S386: no), it is determined whether or not the second advantageous flag is 1 (S391). If an affirmative determination is made, the second advantageous number is decremented by 1 in S393, and the process proceeds to S395. If the determination is negative (S391: no), the process proceeds to S395.

  In S395, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, data indicating any of special symbols, big hits, small hits, reach miss (removed but with reach display), or reach not displayed with reach display and the variation time. A variation start command (display control command) including variation pattern data to be designated is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 to perform special game processing. In addition, when S315 is denied, it goes straight to S395. In addition, the effect symbol display device 6 starts the variation display of the effect symbols by the process of S395, but the main controller 80 also starts the variation of the special symbols almost simultaneously.

  If it is determined in S155 in FIG. 8 that the first special symbol is changing, or if it is determined in S305 in FIG. 10 that the second special symbol is changing, the process proceeds to S170 in FIG. It is determined whether or not (based on the fluctuation pattern of S260, S283, S360, S380, or S383) has elapsed. If it is negative determination (S170: no), it will be determined whether it is the 1st special symbol determination processing (S180). If it is affirmation determination (S180: yes), it will transfer to S300 of FIG. If the determination is negative (S180: no), special game processing is performed.

  If S170 is affirmative, the corresponding special symbol fixed symbol display process (S175) is performed, and then the process proceeds to S180. In the confirmed symbol display process, a command for displaying a confirmed symbol (symbol confirmed command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and the command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the confirmed symbol.

  If it is determined in S160 of FIG. 8 that the confirmed symbol of the first special symbol is being displayed, or if it is determined that the confirmed symbol of the second special symbol is being displayed in S310 of FIG. 11, the process proceeds to S400 of FIG. It shifts and it is determined whether the display time of the fixed symbol has ended. If the determination is negative (S400: no), the special game process is performed. If the determination is affirmative (S400: yes), the display of the confirmed symbol is set (S405). It is determined whether or not (S410). If an affirmative determination is made (S410: yes), the process proceeds to the other special symbol variation end process (S420). In this embodiment, “one special symbol” means a special symbol that is confirmed and displayed with a symbol indicating a big hit, and “the other special symbol” is not a special symbol that is confirmed and displayed with a symbol that indicates a big hit. The special design of

  In the process of S420, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed, it is checked whether or not the first special symbol is fluctuating. If it is fluctuating, the variation is stopped and confirmed. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed, it is confirmed whether or not the second special symbol is fluctuating. If it is fluctuating, the variation is stopped and confirmed. Regardless of the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed, if the special symbol is changing (in this case, a big hit), the other special symbol is determined to be lost (a negative determination in S340 and processing leading to S383). Therefore, here, it will be stopped by a lost symbol. Note that an off symbol stop designation command is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. After the process of S420, it is determined whether or not the first advantage flag is 1 (S425). If the determination is affirmative, the first advantage flag is set to 0 in S430, and the process proceeds to S437. If the first advantageous flag is not 1 (S425: no), the process proceeds to S432, and it is determined whether or not the second advantageous flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S432: yes), the second advantageous flag is set to 0 in S435, and the process proceeds to S437. If the determination is negative (S432: no), the process proceeds to S437. In S437, the big hit flag is set by the conditional device operation start processing. In step S440, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in step S445, a big hit start effect process is performed. When the accessory continuous operation device is operated, the special electric accessory can be operated continuously. When the special electric accessory is operated, the first big prize opening 14 is opened. In the jackpot start effect process, a command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, release pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  If it is determined in S410 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win, it is determined in S450 whether or not the first advantageous flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S450: yes), the first advantageous It is determined whether or not the number of times is 0 (S453). If the first advantageous number is 0 (S453: yes), the first advantageous flag is set to 0 and the second advantageous flag is set to 1 in S455, and the process proceeds to S465. When the first advantageous number is not 0 (S453: no), the process proceeds to S465 as it is. When it is determined in S450 that the first advantageous state flag is not 1, it is determined in S457 whether or not the second advantageous flag is 1. If it is 1 (S457: yes), it is determined whether or not the second advantageous number is 0 (S460). If the second advantageous number is 0 (S460: yes), the second advantageous flag is set to 0 in S463, and the process proceeds to S465. When the second advantageous flag is not 1 (S457: no), or when the second advantageous number is not 0 (S460: no), the process proceeds to S465 as it is. In S465, it is determined whether or not the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a small hit symbol. If the determination is affirmative (S463: yes), the other special symbol variation end process (S465) is executed. The processing content of S465 is the same as that of S420. Subsequently, the process proceeds to S470, where a special electric accessory activation start process is executed. In S475, a small hit start effect process is executed, and a special game process is executed. If the confirmed special symbol is not a symbol that makes a small hit (S463: no), the special game process is performed as it is.

  In the special game process shown in FIG. 14, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the jackpot flag (S500). If the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the first grand prize winning opening 14 is open (S505). If the first big prize opening 14 is not open (S505: no), it is determined whether the first big prize opening 14 is closed during the interval between rounds (S510). If it is not during the interval (S510: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S515). If this is also a negative determination (S515: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the production to start the big hit game has passed (S520). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S520: yes), the first big prize opening opening process (S525) is performed, and this process is terminated (returned).

  If it is determined in S505 that the first grand prize opening 14 is open, the process proceeds to S530 in FIG. 15 to determine whether or not ten first big prize openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When ten prizes are won in the first grand prize opening 14 (S530: yes), the process proceeds to S540, and the first big prize opening 14 is closed. Then, a big hit interval process (S545) is performed, and the special game process is terminated. When ten pieces have not been won in the first big winning opening 14 (S530: no), the process proceeds to S535, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has ended. In this embodiment, in the case of big hit, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 29 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S535: yes), the process merges with S540, and when it is not over (S535: no), the special game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S510 in FIG. 14 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S550 in FIG. 16 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. When the interval time has passed (S550: yes), it is determined whether or not the first round winning opening 14 was opened immediately before in the final round (S555). If it is the final round (S555: yes), a big hit end effect process (S560) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S555: no), the process of opening the first grand prize opening 14 is again performed (S565), and the special game process is terminated. When it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S550: no), the special game process is terminated as it is. In the process of opening / closing the first grand prize winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  If it is determined in S515 in FIG. 14 that the big hit end effect is being performed, the process proceeds to S570 in FIG. 17 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S570: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S575), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S580). Then, it is determined whether or not the advantageous state setting flag is 1 (S585). If the determination is affirmative (S585: yes), the first advantageous number is set (S590), and the second advantageous number is further set (S595). The first advantageous number is the maximum number of times that the special symbol is changed in the first advantageous gaming state, and the second advantageous number is the maximum number of times that the special symbol is changed in the second advantageous gaming state. This is shown in FIG. In the pachinko machine 50, there are five game states a to e after the big hit. First, a is a normal gaming state, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 23, b first enters the first advantageous gaming state, and if the special symbol changes 50 times as it is, the second advantageous gaming state becomes the second advantageous gaming state. In this second advantageous gaming state, the special symbol further changes 20 times. It will continue until. Therefore, in the case of b, the first advantageous number is 50 and the second advantageous number is 20.

  If the big hit symbol is displayed again in the middle of this b or if the game ball reaches the specific area 106, the remaining special symbol fluctuation count becomes invalid and corresponds to the newly generated big hit game. The gaming state to be set is set (the same applies hereinafter). c is the first advantageous gaming state (similar to b, until the special symbol fluctuates 50 times), and then the second advantageous gaming state. The difference from b is that the second advantageous gaming state continues until the special symbol fluctuates 30 times. In this case, the first advantageous number is 50, and the second advantageous number is 30. d is the first advantageous gaming state (until the special symbol fluctuates 50 times), and then the second advantageous gaming state (until the special symbol fluctuates 40 times). In this case, the first advantageous number is 50 and the second advantageous number is 40. e is the first advantageous gaming state (until the special symbol fluctuates 50 times), and then the second advantageous gaming state (until the special symbol fluctuates 50 times). In this case, the first and second advantageous times are both 50. Which gaming state is determined is determined by the symbol that generated the big hit. As a result of the small hit, there is also a big hit that occurs when a game ball that has entered the second big prize opening 15 passes the specific area 106. There are five types of gaming states a to e after the big hit, and in this case, which gaming state is determined according to the symbol that generated the small hit.

  Returning to FIG. Thus, when the second advantageous number is set in S595, the first advantageous flag is set to 1, the second advantageous flag is set to 0 (S595), and the process proceeds to S600. If the advantageous state setting flag is not 1 (S585: no), the process goes straight to S600. In S600, a process of transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83 (S600) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is determined in S570 that the big hit end effect time has not elapsed (S570: no), the special game process is also ended.

  If it is determined in FIG. 14 that the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S500: no), the small hit game process shown in FIG. 18 is executed. When this process is activated, it is determined in S605 whether the special electric accessory is in operation, and if it is in operation (S605: yes), it is determined whether or not a small hit start effect is being performed (S610). In the case of an affirmative determination (S610: yes), it is determined whether or not the time for the small hit start effect has elapsed (S613). If the determination is affirmative (S613: yes), the process proceeds to S615, and the second advantage flag is 1 or not. Determine whether. If the determination is affirmative, that is, if the current state is the second advantageous gaming state, the maximum opening time of the second big prize opening 15 is set to 1.7 seconds in S618, and the process proceeds to S623. If the determination is negative (S615: no), that is, if the current state is the first advantageous gaming state or the normal gaming state, the maximum opening time of the second big winning opening 15 is set to 0.8 seconds (S620), and the process proceeds to S623. In S623, the second big prize opening opening process is performed and the process is terminated (returned). The process is also terminated when it is determined that the special electric accessory is not in operation (S605: no), or when it is determined that the time for the small hit start effect has not elapsed (S613: no). To do.

  If it is determined in S610 that the small hit start effect is not being performed, it is determined whether or not the second big prize opening 15 is open (S625). In the case of an affirmative determination (S625: yes), it is determined whether or not 10 pieces have been won in the second large winning opening 15. If the determination is negative (S630: no), it is determined whether or not the maximum opening time of the second big prize opening 15 has elapsed. If the maximum opening time of the second big prize opening 15 has not elapsed (S635: no), this process is terminated. When the maximum opening time of the second grand prize opening 15 has passed (S635: yes) or when ten pieces have been won in the second big prize opening 15 (S630: yes), the process proceeds to S640, This process is terminated after closing the special winning opening 15 (S640).

  If it is determined in S625 that the second big prize opening 15 is not open, the process proceeds to S645 and it is determined whether or not the specific area 106 has been entered. In the case of a negative determination (S645: no), it is determined whether or not the small hit end time has elapsed (S650). If the determination is affirmative (S650: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory is stopped (S652), a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S654), and the small hit game process is ended. If the small hit end time has not elapsed (S650: no), the small hit game processing is ended as it is.

  If it is determined that the player has entered the specific area 106 (S645: yes), the jackpot information is set in S665 and the gaming state is set (S670). S665 and S670 are the same processes as S265 and S270, respectively. Then, it is determined whether or not the advantageous state flag is 1 (S675). The advantageous state flag is a concept that combines the first advantageous flag and the first advantageous flag. If any advantageous flag is 1, the advantageous state flag is 1. If S675 is positive, the advantageous state flag is set to zero (the advantageous flag that was 1 is set to zero), and the process proceeds to S685. If the determination is negative (S675: no), the process proceeds to S685. In S685, a condition device operation start process is performed, and in the subsequent S690, the accessory continuous operation apparatus is operated. In S695, a big hit start effect process is performed, and this process is terminated. A series of processes in S685 to S695 is the same as the processes in S435 to S445 in the above-described determination processing. By operating the accessory continuous activation device (S690), the special electric accessory operates, so that an affirmative determination is made in S200 in the success / failure determination process of FIG. 8, and the special game process is started. That is, according to the small hit game processing, when the second big prize opening 15 is opened, a game ball wins the opened second big prize opening 15, and further enters the specific area 106, a big hit occurs. . The gaming state after the big hit is determined according to the small hit symbol that generated the small hit. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 25 shows the relationship between the small winning symbol and the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 15. However, regardless of which one of the small hit symbols 1 to 10 is displayed, the release pattern generated according to the gaming state at the time of final display is common. That is, if the game state at the time of the confirmation display is the normal game state or the first advantageous game state, the release pattern 4 (the second big prize opening 15 is the maximum) by the processing of S615 to S620 described above. If the game state at the time of the confirmation display is the second advantageous game state, the release pattern 5 (the second big prize opening 15 is released for a maximum of 1.7 seconds). Then, in the small hit game generated when the small hit symbol 1 or the small hit symbol 6 is confirmed and displayed, when the game ball passes the specific area 106, the big hit game (hereinafter, referred to as the following) The game state after the end of “a big hit game that has been triggered by the final display of the small hit symbol 1 or the small hit symbol 6” is a, that is, a normal gaming state. The gaming state after the end of the big hit game that occurred when the small hit symbol 2 or the small hit symbol 7 is displayed is b, and the big hit game that is generated when the small hit symbol 3 or the small hit symbol 8 is finalized is terminated. The subsequent gaming state is c, and the gaming state after the end of the big hit game triggered by the confirmation display of the small hit symbol 4 or the small hit symbol 9 is d, and the final indication of the small hit symbol 5 or the small hit symbol 10 is displayed. The game state after the end of the big hit game generated as an opportunity becomes e.

  Here, the opening pattern 4 and the opening pattern 5 will be described with reference to the time chart of FIG. In any open pattern, the sorting blade 105 operates at the same timing, and the effective period of the specific area 106 is also the same. After the time t1 (for example, 2.3 seconds) after the second big winning opening 15 is opened, the sorting blade 105 is opened, and the game ball can reach the specific area 106. Even if the game ball reaches the specific area 106, if the specific area is invalid, no big hit occurs. The effective period of the specific area 106 starts simultaneously with the opening of the sorting blade 105, and its length is, for example, 4 seconds. The distribution blade 105 is closed after a time t2 (for example, 2 seconds) after being opened, and the effective period of the specific area 106 is ended when the time t3 (for example, 4 seconds) elapses. It is assumed that it takes an average of 1.4 seconds for a game ball that has entered the second grand prize opening 15 to reach the sorting blade 105.

  In the opening pattern 4, the distribution blade 105 opens when the game ball that has entered the second large winning port 15 reaches the distribution blade 105 just before the second large winning port 15 is closed (specifically, It takes 0.8 + 1.4 = 2.2 seconds from the opening of the second big prize opening 15 for the game ball to reach the distribution blade 105, but it takes 2.3 seconds to open the distribution blade 105). Accordingly, game balls that have entered the second grand prize opening 15 before that time are often blocked by the distribution blades 105 before being released and discharged from the loser opening 104, immediately before the second big prize opening 15 is closed. In addition, only the game balls that have reached the sorting blade 105 over a longer time than the average among the game balls that have entered the second grand prize opening 15 can reach the specific area 106. On the other hand, in the opening pattern 5, the second big prize opening 15 is entered into the second big prize opening 15 while the second big prize opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 1.7 seconds (more precisely, after 0.9 seconds before the second big prize opening is closed). By the time the game ball hits the distribution blade 105, the distribution blade 105 is opened, and there is a high possibility that the game ball enters the specific area 106. That is, the game ball that has entered the second large winning opening 15 that has been opened with the opening pattern 5 is more specific than the game ball that has entered the second large winning opening 15 that has been opened with the opening pattern 4. The rate of reaching is high. A time t4 obtained by subtracting 0.8 seconds from the time t1 corresponds to tA of the present invention, and a time t5 obtained by subtracting 1.7 seconds from the time t1 corresponds to tB of the present invention. As described above, in any of the opening pattern 4 and the opening pattern 5, since the distribution blade 105 is opened when the game ball that has entered the second grand prize opening 15 reaches the distribution blade 105, it is possible to enter the specific area 106. (However, the timing is difficult in the case of the open pattern 4), so both the feeling of “I want you to enter the specific area 106” and the feeling “I do not want you to enter the specific area 106” It becomes possible to give it to the person, and the preference is increased. Further, since the operation of the sorting blade 105 is the same in both the open pattern 4 and the open pattern 5, there is an effect that the control is not complicated.

  27 is a subroutine of a winning confirmation process (S55). In this process, it is first confirmed whether or not a game ball has passed through the gate 17 (S700). In this figure, it is assumed that the gate 17 is reconfigured as a start opening, and is expressed as “normal start opening or gate entry?”. If there is an incoming ball (S700: yes), it is checked whether the usual hold memory is full (four in this embodiment) (S710). If the reserved memory is not full (S710: no), in the process of S720, various random numbers such as a normal hit determination random number, a hit symbol determination random number, an out symbol determination random number, and a transition determination random number are extracted. The various extracted random numbers are stored in the memory of the main controller 80 as reserved storage (up to four). Then, a command for the number of reserved drawings is transmitted to the number-of-holds display device 8 (S730).

  28 is a subroutine of the success / failure determination process (S60). In the process of S800, it is confirmed whether or not the ordinary electric accessory for opening the special opening 22 is operating. If not (S800: no), it is confirmed whether or not the normal map is changing (S805). If not (S805: no), it is checked whether the fixed symbol of the normal map is displayed (S810). In addition, if the ordinary electric accessory is operating (S800: yes), the process proceeds to the “general-purpose game process”.

  If the fixed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S810, it is confirmed whether there is a reserved memory of the ordinary figure (S815). If there is a reserved memory of the ordinary figure, the number of reserved memories of the ordinary figure is subtracted, and the reserved memory is shifted. Processing is performed (S820). By the shift process, the oldest reserved memory among the usual reserved memories becomes the target of the determination. If there is no usual-pending storage (S815: no), the process proceeds to "general-purpose game processing".

  Next, in the process of S825, it is confirmed whether or not the first advantage flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S825: yes), the determination is made so as to determine whether or not the high-probability determination table is used (S830). If a negative determination is made (S825: no), the normality (low probability) determination table is set so as to determine whether or not it is correct (S835). As described above, the hit probability of the usual figure is set to 1/4 in the normal state or the second advantageous gaming state, and is set to 1/3 in the first advantageous gaming state (see also FIG. 19). In the process of S840, whether or not it is a hit is determined by comparing the hit / fail determination table set in the process of S830 or S835 with a hit determination random number.

  If it is a win (S840: yes), the winning symbol is determined based on the target holding memory hitting symbol determination random number (S845), and the target holding memory is determined based on the fluctuation pattern determining random number. Is determined (S850). Note that the average fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern determined by the processing of S850 is 10 seconds. On the other hand, if the usual figure is not hit (S840: no), the variation pattern is determined based on the variation pattern determination random number in the target hold memory in S860. The average fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern determined by the process of S860 is also 10 seconds (see also FIG. 19). In this way, following the processing of S850 or S860, a normal diagram change start command is transmitted to the general diagram display device 7 in the processing of S870, and the processing proceeds to the “general diagram game processing”.

  When the normal symbol is changing in the process of S805, the process proceeds to the process of FIG. 29A, and it is determined whether or not the normal symbol change time has elapsed (S870). Note that the average variation time of the normal symbol is 10 seconds regardless of the gaming state (see also FIG. 19). When it is confirmed that the symbol variation time has passed (S870: yes), a command is sent to display the confirmed symbol of the universal symbol display device 7 by the fixed symbol display setting process (S875), and the “general symbol game process” is displayed. Transition.

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 28 (S810: yes), the process proceeds to the process of FIG. 29B, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has passed (S880). When it is confirmed that the display time of the fixed symbol has elapsed, a command is transmitted to end the fixed symbol display of the general symbol display device 7 in the final symbol display end processing (S885), and the process proceeds to “general symbol game processing”. . If the display time of the fixed symbol has not elapsed (S880: no), the process proceeds to “general-purpose game processing”.

  FIG. 30 shows an outline of “general game processing”. First, it is confirmed whether or not the ordinary electric accessory is being opened (S900). If the determination is affirmative, it is confirmed whether or not there are ten (specified number) winnings for the ordinary electric accessory (S910), or whether or not the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory has ended (S920). The opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is 2.5 seconds as described above (see also FIG. 19). If either S910 or S920 is affirmative, the ordinary electric accessory is closed (S930), and a normal command end command transmission process (S940) is executed. In this process, an ordinary symbol end command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82, and the ordinary figure game process is terminated (returned). If both are negative determinations (S910: no and S920: no), the process directly returns.

  The flow of the game in the gaming machine described above is as follows. In the normal state, when winning at the first starting port 11, the first special symbol is won with a probability of 1/200 and a big hit is generated (the first big winning port 14 is opened and closed 15 times). Contrary to this, if the gate 17 is passed through in the normal state, the normal symbol is won with a probability of 1/3, and the wing piece of the second starting port 12 is opened, but the prize ball of the second starting port 12 is Since there are two (see FIG. 20), the game is not cheap for the player. In addition, since the second special symbol that starts to change due to entering the second starting port 12 has an average fluctuation time of 30 minutes, it is caused by the big hit of the second special symbol or the small hit of the second special symbol. Therefore, it is very time-efficient to get the big hit that occurs. Therefore, in the normal state, the player plays the game aiming at the first start port 11. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, the prize balls of the other prize openings are three first start openings 11, eight normal prize openings, twelve first big prize openings 14, and second big prize openings 15. There are 15 pieces. The number of prize balls in the second grand prize opening 15 is fifteen, regardless of whether the game balls that have entered the second big prize opening 15 enter the specific area 106 or enter the lose hole 104. The prize ball will be paid out.

  When a big hit occurs due to a ball entering the first starting port 11, a big hit is started in which the first big winning port 14 is opened and closed. How many times the opening and closing is performed is determined by the jackpot symbol. This will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 21A is a table showing the relationship between the jackpot symbol determining random number and the jackpot symbol. As shown in this figure, when the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 0, the jackpot symbol is 1, when the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number is 1, the value of the jackpot symbol 2 ..., the value of the jackpot symbol determining random number When is 9, the jackpot symbol 10 is displayed. The jackpot opening pattern generated when these jackpot symbols are displayed is shown in FIG. The “normal gaming state”, “first advantageous gaming state”, and “second advantageous gaming state” in the left column of the table indicate the gaming state when the jackpot symbol in the upper column is confirmed and displayed. The jackpot game shown in the figure has the same opening pattern regardless of the game state when the jackpot symbol is determined and displayed. In other words, the release pattern of the big hit game generated when the big hit symbol 1 is confirmed and displayed is the release pattern 1 regardless of the game state at the time of the fixed display. As shown in FIG. 21 (b), the opening pattern 1 is an operation in which the first grand prize winning opening 14 is opened five times for a maximum of 28 seconds, which is a so-called 5-round big hit. The gaming state after the jackpot game is a. The release pattern of the big hit game generated when the big hit symbol 2 is confirmed and displayed is also the release pattern 1, and the state after the big hit game is the normal game state. The release pattern of the big hit game generated when the big hit symbol 3 or the big hit symbol 4 is fixedly displayed is the release pattern 2, and the state after the big hit is the normal game state. In the opening pattern 2, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the first big winning opening 14 is opened 10 times for a maximum of 28 seconds, which is a so-called 10 round big hit. The big hit release pattern generated when the big hit symbol 5 or the big hit symbol 6 is fixedly displayed is the release pattern 3, and the state after the big hit is the normal gaming state. As shown in FIG. 21 (b), the opening pattern 3 performs the operation of opening the first grand prize winning opening 14 for a maximum of 28 seconds 15 times, which is a so-called 15 round big hit. The jackpot opening pattern generated by the decisive display of the jackpot symbol 7 to jackpot symbol 10 is the opening pattern 3 (so-called 15 round jackpot), but the gaming state after the jackpot game is different for each symbol.

  The game state after the big hit is b when the big hit symbol 7 is hit, the game state after the big hit is c when the big hit symbol 8 is hit, and the game state after the big hit is when the big hit symbol 9 is hit Becomes d, and when the big hit symbol 10 is hit, the gaming state after the big hit is e. In other words, when the big hit symbol 1-6 is hit, the gaming state after the big hit is a, that is, the normal gaming state, but when the big hit symbol 7-10 is hit, it becomes the first advantageous gaming state. This means that after the big hit, the player enters the first advantageous gaming state with a probability of 40%. The first advantageous gaming state continues until the special symbol (whether first or second) is changed up to 50 times. In the first advantageous gaming state, the average fluctuation time of the second special symbol is shortened to 10 seconds, and it becomes more advantageous for the player to make a right strike. In other words, when the right strike is performed, the normal symbol is won with a probability of 1/3, and the wing piece of the second starting port 12 is opened for 2.5 seconds. Therefore, it is possible to easily enter the second starting port 12, and if it enters, a winning ball is obtained and the second special symbol fluctuates, but the average fluctuation time of the second special symbol is shortened to 10 seconds. Therefore, the change of the second special symbol will soon be stopped and displayed. The second special symbol is a small hit with a probability of 180/200, and the second big prize opening 15 is opened for 0.8 seconds (open pattern 4). Since there are 15 prize balls in the second big prize opening 15, the player can easily obtain the prize balls. However, in the first advantageous gaming state, since the second big prize opening is opened and closed by the opening pattern 4, it is difficult to put the game ball in the specific area 106. As a result, in the first advantageous gaming state, although it is difficult to generate a big hit, it becomes a period in which a winning ball can be easily obtained by entering the second big winning opening 15 opened by the small hit.

  When the special symbol is changed 50 times in the first advantageous gaming state, the second advantageous gaming state is entered. In the second advantageous gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is reduced to ¼, but the opening time of the wing piece of the second start port 12 and the variation time of the second special symbol are the same as in the first advantageous gaming state. As a result, the second special symbol easily fluctuates and short hits occur with a probability of 180/200 soon. The number of times the second advantageous gaming state continues is determined by the jackpot symbol, 20 times for the jackpot symbol 7, 30 times for the jackpot symbol 8, 40 times for the jackpot symbol 9, and 10 for the jackpot symbol 10 50 times. In the small hit that occurred in the second advantageous gaming state, the second big winning opening 15 is opened for the opening pattern 5, that is, 1.7 seconds, so that the player enters the second big winning opening 15 than in the first advantageous gaming state. In addition to being easy, it is easier to enter the specific area 106 than in the first advantageous gaming state. A big hit is started when the target area 106 is entered. The grand prize opening opened and closed at this time is the first grand prize opening 14 and is opened and closed 15 times because it is the opening pattern 3 as shown in FIG.

  Of the small hit symbols 1 to 10, only the small hit symbol 1 and the small hit symbol 6 are in the normal gaming state a after the big hit, so the first advantageous gaming state is entered with a probability of 80%. This first advantageous gaming state also shifts to the second advantageous gaming state when the special symbol fluctuates 50 times. The number of times the second advantageous gaming state continues is determined by the small hit symbol that generated the small hit that caused the specific area 106 to enter, and if the small hit symbol 2 or the small hit symbol 7 is 20 times, If the winning symbol 3 or small hit symbol 8 is 30 times, if the small hit symbol 4 or small hit symbol 9 is 40 times, if the small hit symbol 5 or small hit symbol 10 is 50 times (small hit symbol) If the symbol 1 or the small hit symbol 6 does not enter the first advantageous gaming state, it enters the normal gaming state). If the second special symbol fluctuates, it will be a big hit with a probability of 1/200. In this case, too, the first advantageous gaming state is entered with a probability of 80%, and if the special symbol fluctuates 50 times, the second advantageous gaming state The second advantageous gaming state continues for the number of times corresponding to the jackpot symbol. If neither the ball entering the specific area 106 nor the big hit of the second special symbol has occurred during the number of fluctuations, a normal gaming state is set.

  In this way, once the pachinko machine 50 enters the first advantageous gaming state, while the special symbol fluctuates 50 times, the pachinko machine 50 can obtain a period during which the holding ball can be expected to increase. Because it is a period that easily becomes a big hit game, and this period varies depending on the small hit symbol (for example, if the big hit symbol 8 is 30 times, if the big hit symbol 9 is 40 times, each special symbol is changed), It is a gaming machine that also has a gaming interest such as which small hit in the design

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the present embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown. The big hit determining random number and the small hit determining random number correspond to the “numerical data” of the present invention. The process corresponding to “game generating means”, the process from S645 to S695, and the process up to S695 corresponds to “second big hit game generating means” of the present invention, except for the portion corresponding to the second big hit game generating means in the small hit game processing. The processing corresponds to the “small hit game generating means” of the present invention, “small hit game of the opening pattern 4” corresponds to “small hit game A” of the present invention, and “small hit game of the opening pattern 5” It corresponds to the “small hit game B” of the present invention, the sorting blade 105 corresponds to the “shutter member” of the present invention, the loss port 104 corresponds to the “recovery port” of the present invention, and the time t1 corresponds to the “shutter member” of the present invention. Blocking period " Corresponding.
[Other examples]

  In the above embodiment, the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed at the same time. However, only one of the special symbols may be changed. Further, the average symbol variation time and the opening pattern of the second start port 12 are the same in the normal gaming state and the first advantageous gaming state (see FIG. 19), but may be different. For example, the average variation time of the normal symbol may be 9 seconds in the normal gaming state but 10 seconds in the first advantageous gaming state (of course, any other value may be used). Further, the opening pattern of the second start port 12 may be 2.3 seconds in the normal gaming state but 2.5 seconds in the first advantageous gaming state (of course, any other value may be used). Similarly, the average variation time of the normal symbol in the second advantageous gaming state and the opening pattern of the second starting port 12 may be set to values different from the values in the normal gaming state and the first advantageous gaming state. In addition, the random number for determining the occurrence of the big hit game and the random number for determining the occurrence of the small hit game are different in the above embodiment (the big hit determination random number and the small hit determination random number, respectively) It may be configured to determine the occurrence of a big hit game and the occurrence of a small hit game by one random number.

  The transition from the first advantageous gaming state to the second advantageous gaming state may be as shown in FIG. That is, in the figure, when the state after the big hit is b, when the special symbol fluctuates 40 times in the first advantageous gaming state, the state shifts to the second advantageous gaming state. This second advantageous gaming state continues until the special symbol fluctuates 60 times, and thereafter enters the normal gaming state. When the state after the big hit is c, when the special symbol fluctuates 50 times in the first advantageous gaming state, the state shifts to the second advantageous gaming state and continues until the special symbol fluctuates 50 times. When the state after the big hit is d, when the special symbol fluctuates 60 times in the first advantageous gaming state, the state shifts to the second advantageous gaming state and continues until the special symbol fluctuates 40 times. When the state after the big hit is e, when the special symbol fluctuates 70 times in the first advantageous gaming state, the state shifts to the second advantageous gaming state and continues until the special symbol fluctuates 30 times. With this configuration, not only the maximum number of times of the second advantageous gaming state but also the maximum number of times of the first advantageous gaming state can be interested in gaming. In addition, a game state having a large maximum number of fluctuations even in the first advantageous game state as in e can be obtained by a player who excels in a skill that cannot be included in the specific area 106, while a second advantageous game. Since the maximum number of fluctuations in the state is only 30 times, the specification has a gaming interest that there is a risk of returning to the normal gaming state.

  It is good also as an aspect which may not transfer from a 1st advantageous game state to a 2nd advantageous game state. This is shown in FIG. When the state after the big hit is b, when the special symbol fluctuates 100 times in the first advantageous gaming state, it becomes the normal gaming state. In the case of c, after the big hit, the player enters the second advantageous game state without passing through the first advantageous game state, and enters the normal game state when the special symbol fluctuates 50 times. In the case of d, it becomes the second advantageous gaming state after the big hit, and when the special symbol fluctuates 100 times, it enters the normal gaming state. When the state after the big hit is e, when the special symbol fluctuates 50 times in the first advantageous gaming state, the state shifts to the second advantageous gaming state and continues until the special symbol fluctuates 50 times. In such a specification, in the case of b, since the first advantageous game state is long but the second advantageous game state does not exist, it is easy to obtain a winning ball, but it is difficult to win in the specific area 106. In the case of c, instead of having the first advantageous gaming state, since the second advantageous gaming state has a maximum of 50 times, many winning balls cannot be expected, but it is easy to obtain the next big hit. In the case of d, since the second advantageous gaming state has a maximum of 100 times, a winning ball cannot be expected, but the next big hit is more easily obtained. In the case of e, since there are a maximum of 50 times in both the first advantageous game state and the second advantageous game state, both the prize ball and the high possibility of continuation are obtained.

  In any of the above-described embodiments, the second big prize opening 15 is opened when the small hit is made, but the first big prize opening 14 may be opened. When configured in this way, the specific area 106 cannot be passed through the small hit when the first big winning opening 14 is opened, but accordingly, the ball performance when the second big winning opening 15 is opened is improved. Because it can be, it can be a game specification with sharpness.

  In the above-described embodiments, only the release pattern 4 is generated in the first advantageous game state and only the release pattern 5 is generated in the second advantageous game state. However, other embodiments may be used. For example, in the first advantageous gaming state, the opening pattern 4 is generated with a probability of 80% and the opening pattern 5 is generated with a probability of 20%. In the second advantageous gaming state, the opening pattern 4 has a probability of 20% and the opening pattern 5 is 80. You may comprise so that it may each generate | occur | produce with the probability of%. With this configuration, the release pattern 5 occurs even in the first advantageous gaming state, and a big hit can be obtained at an early time point, but the increase in game balls using the advantageous gaming state may be terminated at an early time point. In addition, it can be a thrilling specification of when such a situation occurs.

  The opening patterns 4 and 5 may be as shown in FIG. The opening pattern 5 is the same as that of the above embodiment, but the opening pattern 4 opens the first big winning opening 14. In this way, since only the first big winning opening 14 is opened in the state where the release pattern 4 is selected, the specific area 106 is never entered in the first advantageous gaming state. As a result, even if the special winning opening is opened for a long time, it does not enter the specific area 106, so it is not possible to generate a big hit. On the other hand, by increasing the opening time of the special winning opening (1.7 seconds in FIG. 33). It is possible to achieve specifications that make it easy to obtain prize balls. Moreover, it is good also as a structure only of the big prize opening which the game ball which entered the ball like the 2nd big prize opening 15 can reach a specific area | region. In that case, in a state where it is meaningless to enter the specific area, it is possible to set a period during which the shutter member is not opened or a period during which the specific area is invalid.

  Further, the difference between the first advantageous gaming state and the second advantageous gaming state may be given by something other than the winning pattern opening pattern or the normal symbol winning probability. For example, it can be considered that the operating time t2 (see FIG. 26) of the sorting blade 105 is shorter in the first advantageous gaming state than in the second advantageous gaming state. Further, although the operation time t2 is the same as that of the above embodiment, the opening angle of the sorting blade 105 may be smaller in the first advantageous gaming state than in the second advantageous gaming state. Although the opening time of the grand prize opening is the same, the easiness of entering the specific area may be made different by changing the time from the opening of the big winning opening until the specific area is opened.
