  In addition, the ball detection is performed below the second special figure starting port 2320 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 (downstream side in the ball passing direction) and below the variable winning opening 2340 of the special electric accessory 234 (downstream side in the ball passing direction). Sensors 2324 and 2344 are provided. These ball detection sensors 2324 and 2344 are detection means capable of detecting game balls that have entered the second special figure starting port 2320 and the variable winning port 2340, respectively. The ball detection sensors 2324 and 2344 are provided at positions on the lower side (downstream side in the ball passing direction) that are separated from the second special figure starting port 2320 or the variable winning port 2340 by a distance shorter than the diameter of the game ball. It is. By providing the ball detection sensors 2324 and 2344 at this position, it is possible to reliably detect the entry of a game ball while preventing erroneous detection. The ball detection sensors 2324 and 2344 are annular sensors through which a game ball passes, and are arranged in an inclined posture with the front side (player side) lowered with respect to the horizontal direction. In the present embodiment, when a game ball passes (wins) a ball detection sensor 2324 provided below the second special figure starting port 2320, for example, eight award balls are paid out, and a variable prize is awarded. When a game ball passes (wins) a ball detection sensor 2344 provided below the mouth 2340, for example, three prize balls are paid out. In other words, in the present embodiment, more prize balls can be obtained by winning the ordinary electric accessory 232 than winning the special electric accessory 234.

  The variable entrance unit 246 also includes a transparent first decorative plate member 2462 and a transparent second decorative plate member 2463. Each of the first decorative plate member 2462 and the second decorative plate member 2463 is a member that is provided on the player side of the game board 200 with a space from the board surface. That is, the first decorative plate member 2462 is arranged on the front side (player side) of the ordinary electric accessory 232, and the second special figure starting port 2320 and the slide member 2321 are formed of the base plate 2461 and the first decorative plate member. 2462. Therefore, the portion of the second special figure starting port 2320 on the player side is covered by the first decorative plate member 2462 from the player side. The slide member 2321 is also covered from the player side by the first decorative plate member 2462.

  The transparent first decorative plate member 2462 is painted opaque, and in FIG. 4, the opaque coated portion is shown in gray (hereinafter the same). In addition, it may replace with coating and may be a seal | sticker and plating, and it may not be opaque but a transmittance | permeability may be less than 100% (for example, translucent) (this also applies hereafter). That is, the first decorative plate member 2462 may be at least partly or entirely transparent, at least partly or entirely opaque, or at least partly or entirely translucent. It is also possible (the same applies to the second decorative plate member 2463 and the third decorative plate member 2464 described later). In the first decorative plate member 2462, the portion that covers the player side of the second special figure starting port 2320 and the portion that covers the slide member 2321 are just painted opaque. 2 The special drawing start port 2320 and the slide member 2321 are not visible from the front. That is, the second special figure starting port 2320 and the slide member 2321 are difficult to see from the front as compared with the pseudo electric chew 252 and the pseudo attacker 235. On the other hand, a part of the ball detection sensor 2324 arranged in a posture inclined downward from the second special figure starting port 2320 is visible from the front. A part of the link member 2323 is also visible from the front. Note that all of the ball detection sensor 2324 and the link member 2323 may not be visible. On the contrary, the second special figure starting port 2320, the slide member 2321, the ball detection sensor 2324, and the link member 2323 may all be visible. Further, the second special figure starting port 2320 and the slide member 2321 may be partially visible from the front. Further, the second special figure starting port 2320, the slide member 2321, the ball detection sensor 2324, and the link member 2323 may have different visibility.

  In addition, a second decorative plate member 2463 is disposed on the front side (player side) of the special electric accessory 234, and the variable prize opening 2340 and the slide member 2341 are formed between the base plate 2461 and the second decorative plate member 2463. Will be placed in between. Therefore, the portion of the variable winning opening 2340 on the player side is covered with the second decorative plate member 2463 from the player side. The slide member 2341 is also covered from the player side by the second decorative plate member 2463.

  Similarly to the first decorative plate member 2462, the transparent second decorative plate member 2463 is also painted opaque. In the second decorative plate member 2463, the portion that covers the player side of the variable winning opening 2340 and the portion that covers the slide member 2341 are also just painted opaque, and the variable winning opening 2340 Also, the slide member 2341 is also difficult to see from the front as compared with the pseudo electric chew 252 and the pseudo attacker 235. On the other hand, a part of the ball detection sensor 2344 arranged in a posture inclined below the variable winning opening 2340 is visible from the front. A part of the link member 2343 is also visible from the front. Note that all of the ball detection sensor 2344 and the link member 2343 may not be visible. On the other hand, the variable prize opening 2340, the slide member 2341, the ball detection sensor 2344, and the link member 2343 may all be visible. Further, the variable winning opening 2340 and the slide member 2341 may be partially visible from the front. Further, the variable prize opening 2340, the slide member 2341, the ball detection sensor 2344, and the link member 2343 may have different visibility.

  In addition, a general winning port 226, a second out port 248, and a third out port 249 are also arranged between the base plate 2461 and the first decorative plate member 2462. The general winning port 226 is located between the second out port 248 and the third out port 249.

  Further, the pseudo attacker variable advance entrance 2350 of the pseudo attacker 235 is an opening provided in the base plate 2461, and a lid member 2351 is fitted in the opening so as to be freely opened and closed. As described above, the lid member 2351 can be rotated in the front-rear direction perpendicular to the board surface around the rotation shaft 2353 (see FIG. 5) parallel to the board surface of the game board 200. A transparent third decorative plate member 2464 is disposed on the front side (player side) of the pseudo attacker 235. The third decorative plate member 2464 is also a member provided on the player side with respect to the board surface of the game board 200 with a gap from the board surface. Therefore, the lid member 2351 is covered from the player side by the third decorative plate member 2463. The transparent third decorative plate member 2464 is also decorated with a seal or the like and has an opaque portion, but the front portion of the lid member 2351 is transparent, and the lid is passed through the third decorative plate member 2464. The member 2351 can be visually recognized. The pseudo attacker 235 is opened (changed to the sixth state) when the symbol variation display of the special figure is being performed in the normal figure high probability 2 state described later. Note that the pseudo attacker 235 may change to the sixth state, that is, be released at the time of the normal diagram when the symbol variation display of the special symbol fluctuates for the first variation time or more. The first variation time here is, for example, a variation time of 60000 ms or more. Note that, as described above, the pseudo attacker 235 is not provided with a ball detection sensor for detecting the game ball that has entered, and even if the ball enters the pseudo attacker 235, no prize ball is paid out. Note that a ball detection sensor that detects a game ball that has entered the pseudo attacker 235 may be provided, and a predetermined effect may be provided when the passage of the game ball is detected by the ball detection sensor.

  Note that all of the first decorative plate member 2462, the second decorative plate member 2463, and the third decorative plate member 2464 described above are partially 100% transparent and partially 0% transparent. May be all having 0% permeability, all having less than 100% permeability, or all having 0% permeability. Good.

  The pseudo electric Chu 252 is not covered with the decorative board member, and the pair of blade members 2521 are centered on the rotation shaft 2523 (see FIG. 5) perpendicular to the board surface of the game board 200 and along the board surface. It can rotate. The pseudo electric Chu 252 changes to the fourth state, that is, opens in response to the start of the normal symbol variation display in which the winning result is derived and displayed in the normal high probability 2 state. As described above, the pseudo electric chew 252 is not provided with a ball detection sensor for detecting the game ball that has entered, and even if a ball enters the pseudo electric chew 252, no prize ball is paid out. . In addition, a ball detection sensor that detects a game ball that has entered the pseudo electric Chu 252 may be provided, and a predetermined effect may be provided when the passage of the game ball is detected by the ball detection sensor.

  As described above, the pseudo electric Chu 252 changes (opens) to the fourth state on the condition that the start of the symbol variation display that is per common figure is one condition. In other words, the pseudo electric Chu 252 changes to the fourth state in connection with the change of the ordinary electric accessory 232 to the second state, but the ordinary electric accessory 232 opens from the closed state (first state). After a predetermined time has elapsed (for example, 0.5 seconds) after the start of the change to the state (second state), the pseudo electric chew 252 is changed from the closed state (third state) to the open state (fourth state). ). Strictly speaking, as will be described later, in the present embodiment, when the symbol variation display that corresponds to the normal figure starts, the pseudo electric chew 252 starts to change from the closed state to the open state, for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 Seconds) and then change to the closed state. After that, the display result per usual map is derived and displayed, and the normal electric accessory 232 starts changing from the closed state (first state) to the open state (second state) for a predetermined time (for example, After a lapse of 0.5 seconds, the pseudo electric Chu 252 is changed from the closed state (third state) to the open state (fourth state) again. In addition, at the same time when the ordinary electric accessory 232 starts changing from the closed state to the open state, the pseudo electric Chu 252 may start changing from the closed state to the open state, or the ordinary electric accessory 232 is in the closed state. The pseudo electric Chu 252 may start changing from the closed state to the open state after starting the change from the open state to the open state. As described above, the pseudo electric Chu 252 may be opened in conjunction with the ordinary electric accessory 232 which is a true electric Chu. In other words, since the bonus is meaningful when the ordinary electric accessory 232 is opened, the pseudo electric chew 252 is opened to increase the bonus. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the normal high probability 2 state, the pseudo attacker 235 is also changed to the open state together with the pseudo electric chew 252, so that the game performance in the electric support state can be further increased. .

  If the change timing of the pseudo electric chew 252 and the change timing of the ordinary electric accessory 232 deviate from the predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds), the ordinary electric accessory 232 is in the open state (second state). If the partial period of the period overlaps with the partial period of the period in which the pseudo electric Chu 252 is in the open state (fourth state) and the change timings coincide, The period in which 232 is in the open state and the period in which the pseudo electric Chu 252 is in the open state completely overlap. The period in which the pseudo electric Chu 252 is in the open state may be a period independent of the period in which the ordinary electric accessory 232 is in the open state, but it is preferable that at least some of the periods overlap as described above. .

  FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the variable advance inlet unit 246 shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the left diagonal front side is the front side (player side), and the right diagonal back side is the rear side.

  As shown in the central part of FIG. 5, the variable entrance unit 246 also includes an LED substrate 2465. A plurality of LED chips 2465L are mounted on the front surface of the LED substrate 2465, and the plurality of LED chips 2465L emit light from the back side of the transparent base plate 2461. The LED chip 2465L is provided in the vicinity of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and functions as a winning lamp. That is, the plurality of LED chips 2465L emits light (flashes) when a winning is made to the second special figure starting port 2320. In addition, it emits light (flashes) when the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 returns to the closed state (when closed). The plurality of LED chips 2465L may emit light (flash) while the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 is changed to the open state (second state).

  Further, at the right end of FIG. 5, a fixing member 2325 for fixing the driving means 2322 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 to the back surface of the base plate 2461 and a driving means 2342 of the special electric accessory 234 are similarly provided on the back surface of the base plate 2461. A fixing member 2345 for fixing to is shown. An engaging member 2322a is shown at the tip of the operating rod of the driving means 2322 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 shown in FIG. Further, an engaging member 2342a is also illustrated at the tip of the operating rod of the driving means 2342 of the special electric accessory 234. When the operating rod is retracted by energization from the initial state of the solenoid of the driving means 2322, 2342 (the advanced state where the operating rod has advanced), the engaging members 2322a, 2342a and the link members 2323, 2343 are engaged, and the operating rod is retracted. At the same time, the link members 2323 and 2343 are rotated, and the slide members 2321 and 2341 are changed to the open state. On the other hand, even if the slide members 2321 and 2341 in the closed state are changed to the open state by an external force, the link members 2323 and 2343 are not engaged with the engagement members 2322a and 2342a, and the link members 2323 and 2343 are rotated. I can't. As a result, the slide members 2321 and 2341 in the closed state cannot be changed to the open state by an external force, thereby preventing an illegal act. The engagement mechanism of the engagement members 2322a and 2342a and the link members 2323 and 2343 shown in FIG. 5 corresponds to an example of a prevention unit.

  Further, FIG. 5 shows a mounting base 2525a for mounting the pseudo electric chew solenoid 2522 of the pseudo electric chew 252 on the back surface of the base plate 2461, and fixing for fixing the pseudo electric chew solenoid 2522 to the mounting base 2525a. A sheet metal member 2525b is also shown. Further, regarding the pseudo electric Chu 252, a base 2524, a transmission member 2526, and a ball passage member 2527 are also shown in FIG. 5. A pair of blade members 2521 are attached to the base 2524 via a rotation shaft 2523. The transmission member 2526 is a U-shaped member that transmits the driving force of the pseudo electric chew solenoid 2522 to each of the pair of blade members 2521. The ball passage member 2527 is a member that forms a passage for guiding the ball that has entered the pseudo electric chew 252 to the back side of the game board 200. FIG. 5 also shows a sensor replacement member 2528. The sensor replacement member 2528 is a member (a so-called dummy sensor) provided in place of the sphere detection sensor and does not have a sphere detection function at all, but may have a sphere detection function.

  As for the pseudo attacker 235, FIG. 5 shows a link member 2354, a transmission member 2356, and ball passage members 2357a and 2357b. The transmission member 2326 is a member that transmits the driving force of the pseudo attacker solenoid 2352 to the lid member 2351 via the link member 2354. The ball passage members 2357a and 2b shown separately in FIG. 5 are combined to form a passage for guiding the ball that has entered the pseudo attacker 235 to the back side of the game board 200. The pseudo attacker solenoid 2352 is held on the back side of the base plate 2461.

  Further, on the first decorative plate member 2462 shown on the left side of FIG. 5, a ball path member 2462a that forms a ball path connected to the ordinary electric accessory 232 on the back side, and a sphere that is guided toward the special electric accessory 234 A ball passage member 2462b that forms a passage and a general winning port forming member 226a that forms a general winning port 226 are shown.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the variable advance entrance unit 246. FIG. 6A is a view of the variable advance entrance unit 246 when viewed from the upper right side on the player side, and FIG. It is a figure when the variable entrance unit 246 is seen from the upper left of the player side. FIG. 7 is a view when the space between the base plate 2461 and the first to third decorative plate members 2462 to 2464 of the variable advance entrance unit 246 is viewed from above. FIG. 7A shows a state in which the slide members 2321 and 2341 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the special electric accessory 234 are in the closed state, and FIG. 7B shows the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the special electric accessory 232. This is a state when the slide members 2321 and 2341 of the electric accessories 234 are in the open state. 7A and 7B, the lower side of the drawing is the front side (player side), and the upper side of the drawing is the rear side (back side).

  FIG. 6A shows a spherical passage 232p formed between the base plate 2461 and the first decorative plate member 2462. FIG. The ball passage 232p is a passage connected to the ordinary electric accessory 232, and is formed by a ball passage member 2462a. FIG. 6A shows a second out port 248, a general winning port 226, and a third out port 249. The second out port 248 is formed between the ball passage member 2462a and the general winning port forming member 226a, and the third out port 249 is formed at the right end of the general winning port forming member 226a.

  Also on the right side of FIG. 6A, a ball passage 232p, a ball passage member 2462a, a second out port 248, a general winning port 226, and a third out port 249 are shown. In FIG. 6A, the portion of the base plate 2461 that forms the ball passage 232p protrudes toward the front side (first decoration plate member 2462 side), and the ball passage of the first decoration plate member 2462 In the portion forming 232p, a plurality of ribs 2329 protruding toward the rear side (base plate 2461 side) are shown. These ribs 2329 extend in the up-down direction (perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 7A), and are formed as a spherical passage formed between the base plate 2461 and the first decorative plate member 2462. The 232p is provided with irregularities in the front-rear direction by these ribs 2329. The speed of the game ball passing through the ball passage 232p is reduced by the unevenness, chattering can be suppressed, and the game ball can be accurately detected by the ball detection sensor 2324. In addition, it is possible to prevent scratches on the sphere detection sensor 2324 and its surroundings.

  Further, on the right side of each of FIGS. 7A and 7B, a second special figure starting port 2320, a slide member 2321, and a ball detection sensor 2324 are also illustrated. Here, the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7A, the slide member 2321 in the closed state is not in a state of closing all the openings of the second special figure starting port 2320, and a gap S1 less than the diameter of the game ball is open. Even if the gap S1 is open, the gap S1 is less than the diameter of the game ball, so that the game ball does not enter the second special figure starting port 2320 through the gap S1. This closed state is an initial state of the slide member 2321. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, the slide member 2321 in the open state is in a state in which the opening of the second special figure starting port 2320 is completely or almost completely opened. That is, the open state is a state in which the second special figure start port 2320 is opened larger than the diameter of the game ball. If the slide member 2321 is in the open state, the game ball enters the second special figure start port 2320. It's easy to do.

  In FIG. 7, the slide member 2321 is movable in the left-right direction. That is, it can advance and retreat in the extending direction of the ball passage 232p. When the slide member 2321 changes from the first state which is the initial state to the second state, if the first state is a state where the gap S1 is opened, the time until the change to the second state is Compared to a completely closed state without opening the gap S1, the time is shorter by the gap S1, and a quick state change becomes possible. On the other hand, when changing from the second state to the first state, which is the initial state, the time until the change to the first state is shortened by the gap S1, and a quick state change occurs. It becomes possible.

  The slide member 2321 is a plate-like member having a notch 2321c (see FIG. 7B) in which one corner of the front end portion in the advancing direction is cut obliquely. When the slide member 2321 changes from the open state to the closed state, that is, when sliding in the closing direction, the edge portion formed by the ball passage member 2462b of the second special figure starting port 2320 and the tip portion of the slide member 2321 In order to make it difficult for a game ball to be sandwiched between the two (so-called ball biting), a notch portion 2321c is provided. Even if the game ball is likely to be sandwiched, the game ball is easily escaped by the obliquely cutout portion 2321c.

  FIG. 6B shows a spherical passage 234p formed between the base plate 2461 and the first decorative plate member 2462. The ball passage 234p is a passage connected to the special electric accessory 234, and is formed by a ball passage member 2462b. The game balls that have passed through the ball passage 234p are detached from the variable advance inlet unit 246 and guided to a row of game nails 238 ′ (see FIG. 3) provided along the variable advance inlet unit 246, so that the special electric accessory 234 is reached. FIG. 6B also shows a ball path 240p that guides a game ball that has not entered the special electric accessory 234 (variable winning opening 2340) toward the first out port 240. The ball passage 240p is formed between the base plate 2461 and the second decorative plate member 2463, and the game balls that have not entered the special electric accessory 234 fall from the ball passage 240p, and It enters the first out port 240 (see FIG. 3) located below the second decorative plate member 2463.

  Also on the left side of FIG. 7A, the ball passages 234p and 240p and the ball passage members 2463a and 2463b are shown. In addition, the spherical passage 234p connected to the special electric accessory 234 shown in FIG. 7A is also provided with unevenness in the front-rear direction by a plurality of ribs 2349, similarly to the spherical passage 232p connected to the ordinary electric accessory 232. The speed of the game ball passing through the ball passage 234p is reduced by the unevenness, chattering can be suppressed, and the game ball can be accurately detected by the ball detection sensor 2344. In addition, the ball detection sensor 2344 and its surroundings can be prevented from being scratched.

  Further, a variable winning opening 2340, a slide member 2341, and a ball detection sensor 2344 are also shown on the left side of each of FIGS. The slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 is also in the closed state (initial state) in which the gap S2 shown in FIG. 7A is opened, as in the case of the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 described above, and FIG. It is possible to change the state between the fully open state shown in FIG. 3 and the state change time becomes faster by the gap S2. Further, the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 is also a plate-like member having an oblique cutout portion 2341c (see FIG. 7B) at the front end portion in the advance direction, and the cutout portion 2341c makes it possible to make a variable prize. It is made hard to produce a ball | bowl engagement between the edge part formed of the spherical passage member 2463b of the opening | mouth 2340, and the front-end | tip part of the slide member 2341.

  The gaps S1 and S2 described above may be longer, shorter, or the same as the radius of the game ball.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the first decorative plate member 2462, the second decorative plate member 2463, and the third decorative plate member 2464 are removed from the variable entrance unit 246 illustrated in FIG. is there. In FIG. 8A, the changing members such as the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 are in a closed state. Further, changing members such as the pair of blade members 2521 of the pseudo electric chew 252 and the lid member 2351 of the pseudo attacker 235 are in a closed state. Accordingly, the second special figure starting port 2320 of the ordinary electric accessory 232, the variable winning opening 2340 of the special electric accessory 234, the pseudo electric chew variable advance inlet 2520 of the pseudo electric chef 252 and the pseudo attacker variable of the pseudo attacker 235 are simulated. A game ball cannot enter any of the variable entrances 2350. On the other hand, in FIG. 8B, change members such as the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 are in the open state. Further, changing members such as the pair of blade members 2521 of the pseudo electric chew 252 and the lid member 2351 of the pseudo attacker 235 are in the open state. Accordingly, the second special figure starting port 2320 of the ordinary electric accessory 232, the variable winning opening 2340 of the special electric accessory 234, the pseudo electric chew variable advance inlet 2520 of the pseudo electric chef 252 and the pseudo attacker variable of the pseudo attacker 235 are simulated. A game ball can enter any of the variable entrances 2350.

  In FIG. 8, since the first decorative plate member 2462, the second decorative plate member 2463, and the third decorative plate member 2464 are removed, the entire ordinary electric accessory 232 and the entire special electric accessory 234 are visible. Yes, with respect to the pseudo attacker 235, the lid member 2351 is easy to see.

  FIG. 8A shows a spherical passage opening 226 b provided in the base plate 2461. The ball passage opening 226b is an opening connected to the ball passage continuing from the general winning opening 226. Further, in FIG. 8A, an obstacle member 2466 is shown on the upper right side of the pseudo electric chew 252. The obstacle member 2466 is a member for preventing the game ball that has entered the second out port 248 or the third out port 249 from entering the pseudo electric chew 252. Even if the obstacle member 2466 is present, it may be allowed with very little probability to enter the pseudo electric chew 252. On the other hand, in order to completely prohibit the game ball that has entered the second out port 248 or the third out port 249 from entering the pseudo electric chew 252, for example, in FIG. It is preferable to provide a prohibiting member 2467 as shown. By providing the prohibition member 2467, only the game ball that has passed through the second special figure starting port 2320 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 can enter the pseudo electric chew 252. Further, FIG. 8A shows ribs 2329 and 2349 extending in the vertical direction. Further, FIG. 8B shows a state in which the lid member 2351 of the pseudo attacker 235 is changed (opened) to the open state (sixth state), but the lid member 2351 is in the closed state (0 degree). Only from a state) to a state less than 90 degrees (for example, a state of 75 degrees). That is, the opened lid member 2351 is inclined downward toward the back side (back side), and the game ball easily enters the pseudo attacker variable advance entrance 2350 by using this inclination.

  Further, the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 has a height at the upstream end of the ball passage member 2462b that forms a ball passage 234p (see FIG. 6B) toward the special electric accessory 234. Slide in a position higher than the vertical position (in this example, a position higher by “h1”). That is, there is no wall facing the slide member 2321 on the downstream side in the advance direction of the slide member 2321, and a ball passage 234 p is provided, and the downstream side in the advance direction of the slide member 2321 is an open space. Further, the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 is higher than the height position of the upstream end of the ball passage member 2463b that forms the ball passage 240p (see FIG. 6B) that guides toward the first out port 240. Slide at a high position (in this example, a position higher by “h2”). In other words, there is no wall facing the slide member 2341 on the downstream side in the advance direction of the slide member 2341, and the ball passage 240p is provided, and the downstream side in the advance direction of the slide member 2341 is also an open space. Even if the slide members 2321 and 2341 are open spaces on the downstream side in the advancing direction, so-called ball biting is difficult to occur. Further, as described above, the ball detection sensors 2324 and 2344 are positioned on the lower side (downstream side in the ball passing direction) that is separated from the second special figure starting port 2320 or the variable winning port 2340 by a distance shorter than the diameter of the game ball. Is provided. As a result, a gap (first gap) is also provided between the slide member 2321 and the upper surface of the ball detection sensor 2324, and a gap (second gap) is also provided between the slide member 2341 and the upper surface of the ball detection sensor 2344. Gap). Further, a ball passage 2328 is provided between the base plate 2461 and the first decorative plate member 2462 so as to continue downward from the annular ball detection sensor 2324. The slide member 2321 and the upper end of the ball passage 2328 are connected to each other. Of course, a gap (a third gap larger than the first gap) is naturally provided. Similarly, a ball passage 2348 is provided between the base plate 2461 and the second decorative plate member 2463 so as to continue downward from the annular ball detection sensor 2344, and the slide member 2341 and the ball passage 2348 are connected to each other. Naturally, a gap (fourth gap larger than the second gap) is also provided between the upper ends. These gaps (the first gap to the fourth gap) also contribute to the prevention of ball biting.

  Further, the upper surfaces 2341a and 2321a of the slide members 2341 and 2321 are surfaces on which the game balls roll, and the upper surfaces 2341a and 2321a shown in FIG. 8 are downstream in the advancing direction of the slide members 2341 and 2321 (left side in the figure). It is a surface inclined downward as it goes to. By setting it as such an inclined surface, the retention of the game ball on the slide members 2341 and 2321 can be prevented. Note that at least the upper surfaces 2341a and 2321a may be inclined, and the slide members 2341 and 2321 may be inclined as a whole. That is, the slide members 2341 and 2321 may be plate-like members provided in a posture inclined with respect to the horizontal direction.

  FIG. 9A is a diagram showing the A-A ′ section shown in FIG. 8A, and FIG. 9B is a diagram showing the B-B ′ section shown in FIG. 8B. In FIG. 9, the right side of the figure is the front side (player side), and the left side of the figure is the back side (back side). FIG. 9A shows a one-dot chain line arrow representing the vertical direction VL.

  FIG. 9A shows a cross section of the ordinary electric accessory 232. As shown in FIG. 9A, the annular ball detection sensor 2324 through which the game ball passes is provided in a forward-downward posture, that is, a posture inclined with respect to the horizontal direction. Further, a spherical passage 2328 continuing downward from the spherical detection sensor 2324 is a passage along a direction intersecting the vertical direction VL. That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, when viewed in the passing direction of the game ball, the annular ball detection sensor 2324 is inclined from the front side (player side) to the rear side (back side). The ball passage 2328 continuing downward from the ball detection sensor 2324 is inclined from the rear side (back side) to the front side (player side), and is bent in a dogleg shape in the front-rear direction as a whole. Become. This is because the game ball that has passed through the second special figure starting port 2320 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 is repulsed by the pair of blade members 2521 of the pseudo electric chew 252 disposed at the lower right, and is again applied to the ball detection sensor 2324. This is a structure for preventing detection. The game ball hit from the bottom to the top collides with the inner peripheral wall of the inclined ball passage 2328 and has a very low possibility of entering the annular ball detection sensor 2324 inclined in the opposite direction.

  FIG. 9B shows a cross section of the special electric accessory 234. As shown in FIG. 9B, an annular ball detection sensor 2344 through which a game ball passes is also provided in a front-down posture, that is, a posture inclined with respect to the horizontal direction.

  As described above, the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 has a predetermined number of balls (here, 10 balls) during a predetermined time (here, 5.8 seconds) for maintaining the open state (second state). However, the slide member 2321 changes to the closed state (first state) without waiting for the elapse of the predetermined time when the predetermined number of balls have entered the second special figure starting port 2320. There is a case where the game ball enters the second special figure starting port 2320 (so-called over winning occurs) even while 2321 is changing from the open state to the closed state. For example, 11 balls may enter the second special figure starting port 2320. When over-winning occurs in the ordinary electric accessory 232, over-winning notification for notifying that over-winning has occurred is executed, but the same number (for example, 11 balls) of game balls is given to the pseudo electric chew 252. Even if the player enters, over-winning notification is not executed. Further, even if the same number (for example, 11 balls) of game balls enters the pseudo attacker 235, the over-winning notification is not executed. In addition, when there is an over winning in the pseudo electric Chu 252 or the pseudo attacker 235, an over winning notification may be performed.

  The game ball that has passed through the second special figure starting port 2320 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 is likely to come into contact with the pair of blade members 2521 of the pseudo electric chew 252. For this reason, when the pair of blade members 2521 are opened (fourth state), the game ball easily enters the pseudo electric chew variable entrance 2520. On the other hand, when the pair of blade members 2521 are closed (third state), the game balls that have passed through the second special figure starting port 2320 come into contact with the pair of closed blade members 2521 and bounce back, so that the pseudo attacker 235 Easy to enter.

  Note that the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 are movable in the left-right direction, but may be movable in the front-rear direction. It may be movable in the direction.

  Here, the game performance of the pachinko machine 100 provided with the game board 200 shown in FIG. 3 will be briefly described. This pachinko machine 100 does not earn a game ball by entering a special electric accessory 234 (variable winning opening 2340), but instead puts a game ball in the normal electric accessory 232 (second special figure starting port 2320). It is a pachinko machine that makes you enter and earn a ball. In a normal state (a special figure low-probability normal figure low-probability state, which will be described later), first, aiming at a first special figure starting port 230 provided at the lower center of the game board, a game ball is placed in the first special figure starting port 230. When the vehicle enters, the special figure 1 determination is made and the first special figure display device 212 starts the variable display. In addition to the variation display of the first special symbol display device 212, the decoration symbol display device 208 displays the variation of the decoration symbol. In other words, the decorative symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208 is a symbol that represents the symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 212 in a form with enhanced performance.

  In the case of winning the big hit in the special figure 1 determination, the first special figure display device 212 displays a stop symbol of a predetermined symbol form corresponding to the big hit, and the decorative symbol display device 208 also corresponds to the big hit. Stop displaying the combination of decorative symbols. In addition, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays a screen for instructing right-handed, and the special electric accessory 234 arranged in the variable advance entrance unit 246 is displayed for a predetermined number of times (for example, 180 ms) for a very short time. For example, a big hit game that is opened twice) is performed. The variable winning opening 2340 may be called a big winning opening. The slide member 2341 is kept closed until the big hit game is started. If the slide member 2341 remains closed, it is impossible to enter the variable winning opening 2340. When the big hit game is started, the slide member 2341 repeats the state change between the closed state (seventh state) and the open state (eighth state). When the slide member 2341 is in the open state, a winning to the variable winning opening 2340 becomes possible. As will be described in detail later, the closed state of the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 is not a state where the slide member 2341 completely covers the variable winning opening 2340 but a state where a gap is provided. Therefore, although the closed state here is not a complete closed state, the size of the opening of the variable winning opening 2340 is smaller than that of the open state. The special electric accessory 234 corresponds to a true attacker, that is, an attacker that pays out a prize ball when entering a ball. In the following description, when the special electric accessory 234 is changed to the open state of the slide member 2341, simply speaking, the attacker is opened, the number of changes is the number of releases, and the change frequency is the release frequency. Become. In addition, the open state maintaining period is simply an open period, and the closed state maintaining period is simply a closed period.

  When a ball detection sensor, which will be described later, detects a ball entering the variable winning opening 2340, the payout device 152 is driven to discharge a predetermined number of balls (for example, 3 balls) to the upper plate 126 as a winning ball. However, as described above, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, since the open state of the variable winning opening 2340 is extremely short (for example, 180 ms), it is almost impossible to expect payout by entering the variable winning opening 2340. However, since the number of award balls is as small as three, the expectation of appearing in the winning of the variable prize opening 2340 is also low.

  The special electric accessory 234 is provided on the downstream side of the ordinary electric accessory 232, and most of the game balls that have passed through the normal start gate 253 reach the ordinary electric accessory 232, and the ordinary electric accessory 232. The game balls that have not entered the ball reach the special electric accessory 234. The ball that has entered the special electric accessory 234 (variable winning opening 2340) is guided to the back side of the pachinko machine 100 and then discharged to the game island side. On the other hand, the game balls that have not entered the special electric accessory 234 (variable prize opening 2340) are discharged from the first out port 240 through the back side of the pachinko machine 100 to the game island side.

  Also, in the normal state (special figure low probability normal figure low probability state), if you win a big hit in the special figure win / fail judgment, there is also a power support state (sometimes a short-time state, sometimes a normal figure high probability state) )). In the electric support state, first, aim at the normal start gate 253 by making a right turn. The trajectory of the sphere when making a right strike is indicated by a thick arrow in FIG. The balls that have passed through the normal start gate 253 are not discharged to the amusement island side, and many of the balls reach the ordinary electric accessory 232. When a predetermined ball detection sensor detects that the ball has passed through the normal map start gate 253, a determination of whether or not the normal map has been made is performed, and the normal map variable game by the general map display device 210 is started.

  If the pachinko machine 100 is in the electric support state, it is easy to hit in the normal determination. In the present embodiment, in the electric support state, it is configured so that it is always a win as a result of the normal / no-go determination. If the hit determination of the normal figure is made, the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 is opened, and the game ball enters the ordinary electric accessory 232 (wins the second special figure starting port 2320). Is determined. In the pachinko machine 100 of this embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit in the determination of whether or not the special figure is won changes between the probability variation state (special figure high probability state) and the non-probability variation state (special figure low probability state). However, it is configured to win the jackpot with a high probability. In the present embodiment, for example, in the special figure high probability state, the jackpot is won with a probability of 1/2, and in the special figure low probability state, the jackpot is won with a probability of 1/20. If the big win is not won in the special figure determination (if it is lost), the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 is not opened. However, in the electric support state, if the game ball passes the normal start gate 253, the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 opens with a considerable probability (100% in this embodiment). In the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, the period between the electric support states corresponds to a special game state, and a bonus game is produced.

  As a result of determining whether or not the normal figure is correct, when the symbol is hit and the symbol is stopped and displayed on the general figure display device 210, the ordinary electric accessory 232 is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 5.8 seconds × one time or 0.4 seconds × (4 times) Open. That is, if the slide member 2321 remains closed, it is impossible to enter the second special figure starting port 2320, and the slide member 2321 changes from the closed state (first state) to the open state (second state). Change and maintain the open state for 5.8 or 0.4 seconds. When the slide member 2321 is in the open state, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 2320. The slide member 2321 is a member that changes the difficulty level of entering the second special figure starting port 2320. Therefore, the second special figure starting port 2320 has a small size (corresponding to the first size) and a large size (corresponding to the second size) due to the slide member 2321. ) Is a variable start area in which the ease of entering a game ball changes from one size to the other size. The size of the large size is the same as or larger than the size of the entrance of the first special figure starting port 230 and the normal figure starting gate 253. On the other hand, the size of the small size is smaller than the sizes of the entrances of the first special figure starting port 230 and the general figure starting gate 253. As will be described in detail later, the closed state of the ordinary electric accessory 232 in the slide member 2321 is not a closed state in which the slide member 2321 completely covers the second special figure starting port 2320 but a state in which a gap is provided. is there. Therefore, the closed state here is not a complete closed state, but the size of the opening of the second special figure starting port 2320 is smaller than that of the open state. The ordinary electric accessory 232 is not of a tulip type, but corresponds to a true electric chew, that is, an electric chew in which a prize ball is paid out when entering a ball. In the following description, in the case of a change to the open state of the slide member 2321 in the ordinary electric accessory 232, simply speaking, the electric chew is open, the change count is the open count, and the change frequency is the open frequency. become. In addition, the open state maintaining period is simply an open period, and the closed state maintaining period is simply a closed period.

  When a ball detection sensor, which will be described later, detects a ball entering the second special figure starting port 2320, the payout device 152 is driven to discharge a predetermined number (for example, 8 balls) of balls to the upper plate 126 as prize balls. At the same time, the special figure changing game by the second special figure display device 214 is started. In the present embodiment, the ball that has entered the second special figure starting port 2320 is not guided to the back side of the pachinko machine 100 but remains on the surface side of the game board 200. That is, the second special figure start port 2320 in this embodiment is a gate type start port. The game ball that has passed through the second special figure starting port 2320 becomes a so-called dead ball. The pseudo electric chew 252 and the pseudo attacker 235 are provided on the downstream side of the second special figure starting port 2320. Alternatively, the ball enters any of the out ball guide ports 241, passes through the back side of the pachinko machine 100, and is discharged to the game island side.

  When a game ball enters the ordinary electric accessory 232 in a state where the slide member 2321 is opened, the ball always enters the second special figure starting port 2320.

  Since the ordinary electric accessory 232 is difficult to visually recognize, a winning lamp may be provided at a visually recognizable position. The winning lamp here may be any lamp that emits light (turns on or blinks) when a winning is made to the second special figure starting port 2320. Further, the slide member 2321 may emit light (turn on or blink) when the slide member 2321 is in a closed state.

  The slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 performs a predetermined opening / closing operation (here, 5.8 seconds × 1 opening or 0.4 seconds × 4 opening), and the opening / closing operation is performed. If a predetermined number of balls (10 balls in this case) enters the second special figure starting port 2320 in the meantime, the slide member 2321 changes to the closed state without waiting for the completion of the opening / closing operation when the predetermined number of balls enters. To do. When a game ball enters the ordinary electric accessory 232, whether or not the special figure 2 is determined (lottery) is determined, and the second special figure display device 214 starts the symbol variation display. In addition to the variation display of the second special figure display device 214, the decorative symbol display device 208 performs effect display. As described above, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, one release of the ordinary electric accessory 232 is obtained by acquiring the right to determine whether one or more special drawings are successful and winning one or more balls. The purpose is to increase.

  When the big win is won in the special figure 2 determination, the second special figure display device 214 displays a stop symbol of a predetermined symbol form corresponding to the big hit, and the decorative symbol display device 208 also corresponds to the big hit. The produced effect is displayed. Since the operation in the jackpot game that shifts to a big hit in the special figure 2 is the same as that in the special figure 1, the description here is omitted.

  In general, when the number of balls is not reduced, repeatedly winning a special bonus jackpot is called a ream. In the present embodiment, the second special figure starting port 2320 does not win a prize unless the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 is opened. Therefore, here, the repeated winning of the jackpot with the electric support during the electric support state and the sliding member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 being repeatedly opened is referred to as a reaming house. For example, during the electric support state, a consecutive house is also established when a special jackpot with electric support of the special figure is won by one or more times. Special bonus jackpots are available with probability variation jackpots and non-probability variation jackpots. In the present embodiment, the ratio of big hits with probability variation (sometimes referred to as probability variation rate) is 40%, but the probability variation rate can be set as appropriate. In addition, in the special figure high probability state, a falling lottery is performed each time the special figure fluctuation display is performed, and if the falling lottery is won, the special figure low probability state will be changed from the next special figure fluctuation display. May be. In addition, an upper limit (limiter) is set for the number of times that a big hit with probability change can be obtained between the transition to the non-electric support state and the transition to the non-electric support state. You may make it transfer to a non-probable change state while changing to an electric support state.

  In the pachinko machine 100 having the above-described configuration, a plurality of types of times are prepared as the time until the result of determining whether or not the normal map is determined, that is, the variation time of the general map display device 210. A plurality of types of times are also prepared for the time until derivation, that is, the variation time of the special figure display device 212. In this embodiment, the fluctuation time of the usual figure is short (1.2 seconds in the non-electric support state, 1.1 seconds or 1.2 seconds in the electric support state), and when the game ball passes the usual figure start gate 253, Immediately, the determination result is notified.

  The sphere accommodated in the upper plate 126 is supplied to the firing position of the firing rail. In this pachinko machine 100, the launch motor is driven with a strength corresponding to the amount of operation of the player's ball launch handle 134, and the outer rail 202 and the inner rail 204 are passed by the launcher 146 and the launcher 148 into the game area 124. Launch. Then, the ball that has reached the upper part of the game area 124 falls downward while changing the traveling direction by the hitting direction changing member 236, the game nail 238, and the like.

<Directing device 206>
Next, the rendering device 206 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described.

  On the front side of the effect device 206, a warp device 242 and a stage 244 are arranged in an area where the game ball can roll. In addition, a decorative symbol display device 208 is disposed on the back side of the effect device 206. That is, in the effect device 206, the decorative symbol display device 208 is located behind the warp device 242 and the stage 244.

  The warp device 242 discharges the game ball that has entered the warp inlet 242a provided at the left end of the effect device 206 to the stage 244 below the front surface of the effect device 206 from the warp outlet 242b.

  The stage 244 can roll a ball discharged from the warp outlet 242b or a ball naild by the game nail 238, etc., and the passed ball enters the first special figure starting port 230 at the center of the stage 244. A special route 244a is provided to facilitate the ball.

  The decorative lamps such as the speaker 120 and the frame lamp 122, and the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 3 correspond to effect means, and among these, the decorative symbol display device 208 corresponds to an example of the display means.

  Next, the circuit configuration of the control unit of the pachinko machine 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. This figure shows a circuit block diagram of the control unit. The control unit of the pachinko machine 100 can be roughly divided into a main control unit 300 that controls the central part of the game and a command signal (hereinafter simply referred to as “command”) transmitted by the main control unit 300. The first sub-control unit 400 that performs control, the second sub-control unit 500 that controls various devices based on the command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400, and the main control unit 300 according to the command transmitted by the main control unit 300 Are provided with a payout control unit 600 for performing control relating to payout of game balls, a launch control unit 630 for performing launch control of game balls, and a power supply control unit 660 for controlling the power supplied to the pachinko machine 100. Yes.

  First, the main control unit 300 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, a ROM 306 for storing control programs and various data, a RAM 308 for temporarily storing data, an I / O 310 for controlling input / output of various devices, a time A counter timer 312 for measuring the number of times, a WDT 314 for monitoring abnormalities in program processing, a random value generation circuit (counter circuit) 318 (assuming that this circuit includes two counters), It is equipped with. Note that other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and this is the same for the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500 described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined period output from the crystal oscillator 316b as a system clock. The random value generation circuit 318 is used as a hardware random number counter that changes the numerical value in the range of 0 to 65535 every time the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 316a is received. Note that the random value generation circuit 318 is built in the basic circuit 302, but may be connected to the basic circuit 302.

  Further, the basic circuit 302 receives signals output from various sensors 320 including predetermined ball detection sensors, for example, sensors for detecting game balls passing through each start port, winning port, and variable winning port, and a lower plate full tank sensor. The sensor circuit 322 for outputting the amplification result and the comparison result with the reference voltage to the CPU 304, the random value generation circuit 318, etc. in the basic circuit 302, and a predetermined symbol display device such as the first special figure display device 212 or the second 2 a drive circuit 324 for performing display control of the special figure display device 214, a drive circuit 326 for performing display control of a predetermined symbol display device, for example, the general-purpose display device 210, and various status display units 328 (for example, A driving circuit 330 for performing display control of a special figure holding lamp 216, a special figure 1 holding lamp 218, a special figure 2 holding lamp 220, a high-accuracy middle lamp 222, and the like; A drive circuit for controlling various solenoids 332 including a moving member, for example, a driving means 2322 for driving the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232, a driving means 2342 for driving the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234, and the like. 334 are connected to each other. In this example, the crystal oscillator 316a and the random value generation circuit 318 are provided separately, but the crystal oscillator 316a may be included in the random value generation circuit 318.

  When the ball detection sensor 320 detects that the ball has won the first special figure starting port 230, the sensor circuit 322 sends a signal indicating that the ball has been detected to the random value generation circuit 318 in the basic circuit 302. Output. The random value generation circuit 318 that has received this signal latches the value of the counter corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230 at that timing, and uses the latched value as a built-in counter corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230. Store in the value storage register. Similarly, when the random value generation circuit 318 receives a signal indicating that the ball has won the second special figure starting port 2320, the random number generation circuit 318 calculates the value at the timing of the counter corresponding to the second special figure starting port 2320. The latched value is stored in a built-in counter value storage register corresponding to the second special figure starting port 2320.

  Further, an information output circuit 336 is connected to the basic circuit 302, and the main control unit 300 passes through the information output circuit 336 and an external terminal board (not shown) to an external hall computer (not shown). The game information (for example, the game state) of the pachinko machine 100 is output to the information input circuit 350 included in the above.

  In addition, the main control unit 300 is provided with a voltage monitoring circuit 338 that monitors the voltage value of the power source supplied from the power source control unit 660 to the main control unit 300. The voltage monitoring circuit 338 is a voltage value of the power source. Is lower than a predetermined value (9 V in this example), a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output to the basic circuit 302.

  Next, the payout control unit 600, the launch control unit 630, and the power supply control unit 660 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described. The payout control unit 600 controls the payout motor 602 of the payout device 152 mainly based on a command signal or the like transmitted from the main control unit 300, and wins or rents a ball based on a control signal output from the payout sensor 604.

  Next, using FIGS. 11A to 11C, the first special figure display device 212, the second special figure display device 214, the decorative symbol display device 208, and the universal figure display device 210 of the pachinko machine 100 are stopped and displayed. The types of special maps and general maps to be described will be described.

  The special figure 1 variable game is started on the condition that the first start port sensor, which is a ball detection sensor, detects that a ball has entered the first special figure start port 230, and the second special figure start port 2320 has a ball. The special figure 2 variable game is started on condition that the ball detection sensor 2324 detects that the ball has entered. When the special figure 1 variable game is started, the first special figure display device 212 repeats the lighting of all the seven segments and the lighting of the central one segment “variable display of special figure 1” (special figure). (Floating game). When the special figure 2 variable game is started, the second special figure display device 214 repeats the lighting of all the seven segments and the lighting of the central one segment “variable display of special figure 2” ( (Special map variable game). Then, when the variation time determined before the start of the fluctuation of the special figure 1 elapses, the first special figure display device 212 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 1, and the fluctuation time determined before the start of the fluctuation of the special figure 2 When elapses, the second special figure display device 214 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 2. Hereinafter, the fluctuation display from the start of the “figure display of special figure 1 or special figure 2” to the stop display of the special symbol 1 or special figure 2 may be referred to as a special figure fluctuation display. . This special figure variation display may be continuously performed a plurality of times.

  Fig.11 (a) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect of special figure 1 and special figure 2. FIG. In FIG. 11A, ten types of special drawings “Special Figure A” to “Special Figure J” are shown. In FIG. 11A, a white portion in the drawing indicates a segment location where the light is turned off, and a black portion indicates a location where the segment is turned on.

  In the present embodiment, nine types of jackpot symbols ("Special Figure A" to "Special Figure I") are prepared as the stop pattern modes of special figures. “Special Figure A” to “Special Figure D” are all 2 round (R) big hit symbols, and the opening time of the special electric accessory 234 is very short in any round, and The 2R probability variation jackpot symbol that cannot be expected to be acquired, and “Special Figure E” to “Special Figure I” are all 2R jackpot symbols, and the opening time of the special electric accessory 234 is extremely short in any round. It is a 2R non-probable (normal) jackpot symbol that cannot be expected to win the ball. In other words, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment has a game characteristic that can hardly be expected to win a game in a big hit game. In addition, in this embodiment, as will be described in detail later, depending on the game state and the big hit symbol at the time of the big hit, the presence or absence of the electric support state after the end of the big hit game, the type of electric support state and the electric The number of special figure variable games in which the support state is maintained is different.

  In the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, whether or not a big hit in the special figure variable game is determined by a lottery of hardware random numbers, and whether or not it is a probable big hit is determined by a lottery of software random numbers. The difference between the normal jackpot and the probable bonus jackpot is the difference in whether the probability of winning the jackpot is high (probability jackpot) or low (normal jackpot) in the next special figure variation game. Hereinafter, a state with a high probability of winning the jackpot is referred to as a special figure high probability state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “special figure certain change” or simply “probable change”), and a state with a low probability is specially designated. This is called a low probability state. In addition, an electric support state (short time state) may be given after the end of the big hit game. Here, the electric support state means that the normal electric accessory 232 is from the end of the big hit game in the special figure variable game until the next big hit is started or until the predetermined number of special figure variable games is ended. This means a predetermined state in which the player's advantage is higher than the non-electric support state, for example by making it easier to open the game. Although the electric support state will be described in detail later, the electric support state is referred to as a normal high probability state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “general figure change”), and a non-electric support state is generally a low probability. This is called a state. In this way, the power support state is given on condition that the big hit game ends. Strictly speaking, the “electric support state” is a state related to a general plan, and the “short-time state” is a state related to a special figure or a state related to a general figure and a special figure. In this embodiment, two types of electric support states (normal high probability 1 state, general high probability 2 state) are set as will be described later, and the normal electric combination depending on the type of the electric support state to be given. The opening and closing operations of the object 232 are different. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a short time flag. Depending on the value of the short time flag, a normal low probability state (for example, the short time flag value is “0”), a normal high probability one state (for example, The time-short flag value is “1”) and the normal high probability two states (for example, the time-short flag value is “2”). In the normal figure high probability state, compared to the normal figure low probability state, it becomes easier to win the common figure variable game (general figure certain change). In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the usual figure floating game is 0% in the usual figure low probability state (non-electric support state), but increases to 100% in the usual figure high probability state (electric support state). . It should be noted that the winning probability of the general variable game in the non-electric support state may be greater than 0%, or the win probability of the general variable game in the electric support state may be less than 100%. In addition, in the electric support state, the fluctuation time of the usual figure change game may be shorter (the usual figure change short) than the non-electric support state. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the ordinary variable game is 1.2 seconds in the non-electric support state, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary variable game is shortened to 1.1 seconds in the ordinary high probability 2 state. On the other hand, in the normal figure high probability 1 state, the fluctuation time of the general figure variable game is 1.2 seconds as in the case of the power support state. It should be noted that the fluctuation time of the usual game may be the same in the electric support state and the non-electric support state. In addition, the opening time for one opening of the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 in the electric support state differs depending on the type of the electric support state, and is, for example, 0.4 seconds in the normal high probability 1 state. In the usual high probability 2 state, it is 5.8 seconds. Further, the number of times of opening of the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 in the electric support state is also different depending on the type of the electric support state. In the state, it is opened only once. Thus, in the electric support state, the probability of winning a prize at the second special figure starting port 2320 increases. In the present embodiment, since it is set as described above, the number of prize balls is almost the same as the number of game balls to be fired in the ordinary high probability 1 state. In the two states, a larger number of prize balls can be obtained than the number of game balls to be fired. In other words, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment has a game property that can acquire a large number of prize balls in the electric support state. In the non-electric support state, as described above, since the probability of winning is 0%, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 are not set, but are set. Also good. In this case, it is preferable that the opening time in the non-electric support state is equal to or less than the opening time in the electric support state, and the number of opening times in the non-electric support state is preferably equal to or less than the number of opening times in the electric support state, but it can be appropriately set. Yes. In addition, the hourly flag is set to a value in a normal low probability state during a big hit game. Therefore, the non-electric support state is maintained during the big hit game. This is because game balls may be picked up by an electric chew with a large number of award balls, especially in a big hit game, resulting in high gambling. In the non-electric support state, the game ball is less likely to enter the second special figure starting port 2320 than in the electric support state. As described above, the second special figure starting port 2320 is changed by the ordinary electric accessory 232 between a difficult-to-win state in which a game ball is difficult to enter and an easy-to-win state in which a game ball is easy to enter. The entrance of the second special figure starting port 2320 is in the easy-to-win state for a longer period in the electric support state than in the non-electric support state.

  In this embodiment, a small hit symbol may be set in addition to the big hit symbol, and when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a stop symbol, the game may be shifted to the small hit game. In the small hit game, for example, the slide member 2341 of the variable prize opening 2340 is operated a predetermined number of times (for example, twice), and the slide member 2341 maintains the open state for a maximum of 0.2 seconds per operation. In the case of opening the slide member 2341 in the small hit game, for example, when a game ball enters a predetermined number of balls (for example, 10 balls) in the first opening, or a predetermined amount of game value (a predetermined number of balls) is obtained. Once acquired, the second and subsequent releases are not performed. During the small hit game, it shifts to the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state. The small hit is a hit where the control state does not change before and after the small hit game, and after the small hit game is finished, the control state returns to the control state before the start of the small hit game.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, one type of stop symbol is prepared as a lost symbol. "Special figure J" is a lost pattern.

  FIG. 11 (b) shows an example of a decorative design. There are 10 types of decoration patterns of the present embodiment: “Decoration 1” to “Decoration 10”. The first start port sensor detects that a ball has won the first special figure start port 230 or the second special view start port 2320, that is, the ball has entered the first special view start port 230, or On the condition that the ball detection sensor 2324 detects that a ball has entered the second special symbol start port 2320, the left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, the right symbol display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 Displayed in the order of “decoration 1” → “decoration 2” → “decoration 3” →... “Decoration 9” → “decoration 10” → “decoration 1” →. Perform “decorative display variation display” to switch. That is, the decorative symbol display device 208 variably displays the decorative symbols separately from the first special symbol display device 212 and the second special symbol display device 214. And the stop symbol mode which is a combination of a decoration symbol is stopped and displayed. The stop symbol mode of the decorative symbol in this embodiment will be described later.

  Hereinafter, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the display from the start of the “decorative symbol variable display” to the stop symbol display of the decorative symbol may be referred to as a decorative symbol variable display. The variation display of the decorative symbol is performed by the second sub-control unit 500 controlling.

  FIG.11 (c) shows an example of the usual stop symbol aspect. In this embodiment, there are three types of stoppage display modes of “normal map A” and “general map B” which are winning symbols, and “common map C” which is a lost symbol. Based on the fact that the gate sensor, which is a sphere detection sensor, detects that the sphere has passed through the normal start gate 253, the general display display device 210 turns on all seven segments and displays one central segment. Repeat the lighting and perform “variable display of ordinary figure” (ordinary figure fluctuation game). Then, after the fluctuation time elapses, one of the symbols “general symbol A” and “general symbol B” which are hit symbols and “general symbol C” which is a lost symbol are stopped and displayed. Also in FIG. 11C, the white portions in the figure indicate the locations of the segments that are turned off, and the black portions indicate the locations of the segments that are turned on.

  Hereinafter, the display from the start of the “variable display of the normal figure” to the stop display of the stop pattern of the normal figure may be referred to as a normal variable display.

<Main control unit main processing>
Next, a main control unit main process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 10 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit.

  The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 10 stores a special figure random number value, a special figure round decision random value, a special figure electricity support decision random value, and a special figure decision random number. The RAM 308 is provided with a random number counter for generating these various random number values. Further, the RAM 308 stores the number of special figure hold, a special figure winning random value, various determination (lottery) results, and the like. Hereinafter, the area for storing the number of reserved special figures in the RAM 308 may be referred to as a special figure reserved number storage area. Furthermore, the RAM 308 is provided with a special information start information storage section divided into a maximum number of areas (four in this example) that can hold the start of the determination (lottery). A random number storage area is also provided for ordinary use. As will be described later, the special information start information storage unit stores a plurality of types of start information as one set and stores each start information in a winning order (holding order) for each area.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 10 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 340 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal has been input resets by a reset interrupt and executes the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG. 12 in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

  In step S101, initial setting 1 is performed. In this initial setting 1, setting of a stack initial value (temporary setting) to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of an interrupt mask, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, to the WDT 314 The operation is permitted and the initial value is set. In the present embodiment, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in WDT 314 as an initial value.

  In step S103, the value of the counter of WDT 314 is cleared and time measurement by WDT 314 is restarted.

  In step S105, whether or not the low voltage signal is ON, that is, the voltage value of the power supply that the voltage monitoring circuit 338 supplies to the main control unit 300 via the second sub control unit 500 by the power supply control unit 660. Is less than a predetermined value (9 V in this embodiment), it is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has decreased is output. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power supply is cut off), the process returns to step S103, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the CPU 304 does not detect that the power supply is cut off), The process proceeds to S107. Even when the predetermined value (9 V) is not yet reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step S103, and step S105 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step S107, initial setting 2 is performed. In this initial setting 2, a process for setting a numerical value for determining a cycle for executing a main control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, in the timer circuit 312, a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, A process of outputting a clear signal from the output port to the first sub control unit 400, a setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like are performed.

  In step S109, it is determined whether or not the state before the power interruption (before power interruption) is restored, and the state before the power interruption is not restored (when the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 is set to the initial state). ) Proceeds to an initialization process (step S113).

  Specifically, first, a RAM clear signal transmitted when a store clerk or the like of a game store operates the RAM clear switch 180 provided on the power supply board 182 shown in FIG. 2 (indicating that there has been an operation). If the RAM clear signal is ON (RAM clear is necessary), the process goes to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. move on. On the other hand, when the RAM clear signal is OFF (when the RAM clear is not necessary), the power status information stored in the power status storage area provided in the RAM 308 is read, and the power status information is information indicating suspend. It is determined whether or not. If the power status information is not information indicating suspend, the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to an initial state. If the power status information is information indicating suspend, a predetermined area of the RAM 308 is set. A checksum is calculated by adding all the 1-byte data stored in (for example, all areas) to a 1-byte register whose initial value is 0, and the calculated checksum results in a specific value (for example, 0) (whether or not the checksum result is normal). When the checksum result is a specific value (eg, 0) (when the checksum result is normal), the process proceeds to step S111 to return to the state before the power interruption, and the checksum result is a specific value. If the value is other than 0 (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is abnormal), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the pachinko machine 100 to the initial state. Similarly, when the power status information indicates information other than “suspend”, the process proceeds to step S113.

  In step S111, power recovery processing is performed. In this power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the stack pointer save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power failure is read out and reset to the stack pointer (this setting). In addition, the value of each register stored in the register save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is read out and reset in each register, and then the interrupt permission is set. Thereafter, as a result of the CPU 304 executing the control program based on the reset stack pointer and registers, the pachinko machine 100 returns to the state when the power is turned off. That is, the processing is resumed from the instruction next to the instruction (predetermined in step S115) performed immediately before branching to the timer interrupt process (described later) immediately before the power interruption. Further, the RAM 308 mounted on the basic circuit 302 in the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 10 is provided with a transmission information storage area. In step S111, a power recovery command is set in the transmission information storage area. This power recovery command is a command indicating that the power has been restored to the state at the time of power-off, and is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in step S233 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300 described later.

  In step S113, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization process, interrupt prohibition setting, stack initial value setting to the stack pointer (this setting), initialization of all storage areas of the RAM 308, and the like are performed. Further, here, a normal return command is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. This normal return command is a command indicating that the initialization process (step S113) of the main control unit 300 has been performed, and in the same way as the power recovery command, in step S233 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300, 1 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400.

  In step S115, after setting for prohibition of interruption, a basic random number initial value update process is performed. In this basic random number initial value update process, two initial value generation random number counters for generating the initial values of the normal winning random number counter and the special figure random value counter are updated. For example, if the numerical value range that can be taken as a special figure random value is 0 to 99, a value is obtained from a random number counter storage area for generating a special figure random value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the obtained value. To the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 100, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Other initial value generation random number counters and random number counters are similarly updated. The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step S115 except during a timer interrupt process that starts every predetermined period.

<Main control unit timer interrupt processing>
Next, a main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  A main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 10 includes a timer counter 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, about once every 2 ms). The main control is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The part timer interrupt process is started at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step S203, the WDT 314 is periodically changed to the initial value (32.8 ms in this embodiment) so that no WDT interruption occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S205, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of various sensors 320 shown in FIG. The data is stored in a signal state storage area provided for each sensor 320. If the detection signal of the sphere detection sensor is described as an example, information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected in the timer interruption process (about 4 ms before) is stored in the RAM 308 for each sphere detection sensor. This information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area partitioned and stored in the RAM 308 in the previous detection signal storage area partitioned for each sphere detection sensor, and the previous timer interrupt processing (about 2 ms before) ) Is read from the current detection signal storage area provided for each sphere detection sensor in the RAM 308, and this information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area described above. To remember. Further, the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-described current detection signal storage area.

  Further, in step S205, the information on the presence or absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor stored in each storage area of the above-mentioned detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area is compared. It is determined whether or not the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in the ball detection sensor matches the winning determination pattern information. This main control unit timer interrupt process that is repeatedly started at a very short interval of about 2 ms while one game ball passes one ball detection sensor is started several times. For this reason, every time the main control unit timer interrupt process is activated, in step S205 described above, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is confirmed. As a result, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed through the same ball detection sensor is stored in each of the detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area. That is, when the game ball starts to pass through the ball detection sensor, there is no detection signal before, a previous detection signal, and a current detection signal. In the present embodiment, in consideration of erroneous detection of the sphere detection sensor and noise, it is determined that there is a prize when the detection signal is stored twice continuously after no detection signal. In the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 10, winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is no previous detection signal, that there is a previous detection signal, and that there is a current detection signal) is stored. In this step S205, information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in each sphere detection sensor is predetermined winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, no previous detection signal, previous detection signal, current detection signal present). In the case of the general winning opening 226, the variable winning opening 2340, the first special figure starting opening 230, and the second special drawing starting opening 2320, or the ordinary drawing starting gate 253. Is determined to have passed. In other words, it is determined that there has been a winning or passing through these winning openings 2340 and 226 and these starting openings 230, 2320 and 253. For example, when the information on the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times coincides with the above-described winning determination pattern information in the first start opening sensor that detects a ball entering the first special view start opening 230, the first special view It is determined that a winning has been made at the starting port 230, that is, a game medium passing through a predetermined area has been detected, and processing associated with the subsequent winning at the first special figure starting port 230 is performed. If the presence / absence information does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the process branches to the subsequent process without performing the process associated with the winning to the first special figure starting port 230 thereafter. Note that the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 stores winning determination clear pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is a detection signal before the previous time, no previous detection signal, and no current detection signal). After it is determined that there has been a single win, it is not determined that there has been a win until the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times matches the winning determination clear pattern information in each ball detection sensor, and the winning determination is cleared. If it matches the pattern information, it is next determined whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information.

  In step S207 and step S209, basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing are performed. In these basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing, the value of the initial value generation random number counter performed in step S115 is updated, and then the normal winning random number value used in the main control unit 300 and The random number counter for generating each special figure random value is updated. For example, if the numerical value range that can be taken as a special figure random value is 0 to 99, a value is obtained from a random number counter storage area for generating a special figure random value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the obtained value. To the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 100, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. If it is determined that the random number counter has made one round as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value, the value of the initial value generating random number counter corresponding to each random number counter is acquired and stored in the storage area of the random number counter. set. For example, a value is acquired from a random number counter for generating a special figure random value that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 99, and the result obtained by adding 1 to the acquired value is stored in a predetermined initial value storage area provided in the RAM 308. If the value is equal to the previously set initial value (for example, 7), the value is acquired as the initial value from the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the random number counter for generating the special figure random value, and the special figure random value The initial value set this time is stored in the above-described initial value storage area in order to set the random number counter for generation and to determine that the random number counter for generating special figure random value has made one round next. In addition, in order to determine that the random number counter for generating the special figure random number has made one round separately from the above-described initial value storage area for determining that the random number counter for generating the special figure random number has made one round next. The initial value storage area is provided in the RAM 308.

  In step S211, effect random number update processing is performed. In this effect random number update process, a random number counter for generating an effect random number used by the main control unit 300 is updated.

  In step S213, timer update processing is performed. In this timer update process, symbols are displayed on the normal symbol display symbol update timer, the first special symbol display device 212, and the second special symbol display device 214 for timing the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped on the normal symbol display device 210. Various types, including a special figure display symbol update timer for timing the time to fluctuate / stop display, a timer for timing a predetermined winning effect time, a predetermined opening time, a predetermined closing time, a predetermined end effect period, etc. Update the timer.

  In step S215, winning prize counter update processing is performed. In this winning hole counter updating process, when winning holes 2340 and 226 and starting holes 230 and 2320 have been won, the value of the number-of-a-number-ball storage area provided for each winning hole or each starting hole is stored in the RAM 308. Read and add 1 and set to the original prize ball number storage area.

  In step S217, a winning acceptance process is performed. In the winning acceptance process, a plurality of types of start information are acquired if predetermined conditions are satisfied. The plurality of types of start information acquired here are stored as one set of start information in a vacant area corresponding to the winning order (holding order) in the start information storage unit provided in the RAM 308.

  In step S219, which is executed subsequent to step S217, a payout request number transmission process is performed. The output schedule information and the payout request information output to the payout control unit 600 shown in FIG. 10 are composed of 1 byte, strobe information (indicating that the data is set when turned on), bit 6 Power-on information (if turned on, indicates that this is the first command transmission after power-on), bits 4-5 indicate the current processing type for encryption (0-3), and bits 0-3 indicate encryption The number of payout requests after processing is shown.

  In step S221, a normal state update process is performed. This normal state update process performs one of a plurality of processes corresponding to the normal state. For example, in the normal state update process in the middle of the normal symbol display (the above-described general symbol display symbol update timer value is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is repeatedly turned on and off. Turns off drive control. By performing this control, the normal symbol display device 210 performs a usual fluctuation display (ordinary figure fluctuation game).

  Also, in the normal state update process at the timing when the normal symbol change display time has elapsed (the timing at which the value of the general symbol display symbol update timer has changed from 1 to 0), if the hit flag is on, the hit symbol is displayed. The normal symbol display device 210 is controlled so that the 7-segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is turned on / off, and when the hit flag is off, the normal symbol display device 210 is configured to display the lost symbol display mode. 7 segment LED on / off drive control is performed. Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a setting area for performing various settings in various processes, not limited to the normal state update process. Here, the above-described lighting / extinguishing drive control is performed, and the setting area is set to indicate that the normal stop display is being performed. By performing this control, the normal symbol display device 210 is either one of the winning symbols (the common symbol A and the common symbol B shown in FIG. 11C) and the lost symbol (the universal symbol C shown in FIG. 11C). The final symbol is displayed. Thereafter, information indicating the stop period is set in a storage area of a normal stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 msec). With this setting, the symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the player is notified of the result of the normal game.

  Further, if the result of the usual figure variable game is a hit, the usual figure hit flag is turned on as will be described later. When the usual figure hit flag is on, in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (when the usual figure stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), A signal for holding the slide member 2321 in the open state is set to the drive means 2322 of the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 for a predetermined open period (for example, 5.8 seconds) while the normal operation is set in the setting area. And information indicating the open period is set in the storage area of the blade open time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the normal state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the value of the blade opening time management timer changes from 1 to 0), the slide member has a predetermined closing period (for example, 500 msec). A signal for holding the slide member 2321 in the closed state is output to the driving means 2322 for opening / closing driving of 2321, and information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area of the blade closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the normal state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined closing period ends (when the value of the blade closing time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the non-operating state is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. To do. Further, if the result of the usual figure variable game is lost, the usual figure lose flag is turned on as will be described later. When the usual figure loss flag is on, even in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (when the value of the usual figure stop time management timer changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, normal operation inactive is set. In the general state update process in the case where the general map is not operating, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S223.

  In step S223, a general drawing related lottery process is performed. In this general map-related lottery process, the open / close control of the general map variable game and the ordinary electric accessory 232 is not performed (the state of the normal map is not in operation), and the number of the general map variable game held is When the number is 1 or more, the random number lottery based on the random number value stored in the random number value storage area described above determines whether the result of the variable figure game is won or not. If the determination is made and the winning combination is made, the hit flag provided in the RAM 308 is set to ON. If unsuccessful, turn off the winning flag. Regardless of the result of the hit determination, the value of a predetermined random number counter is acquired as a general-purpose timer random number value, and the general-purpose display random number is transmitted to the general-purpose display display device 210 from a plurality of fluctuation times based on the acquired general-purpose timer random number value. One time for variably displaying the figure is selected, and this variably displayed time is stored as a variably displayed time in a variably variable time storage area provided in the RAM 308. In addition, the number of pending general figure variable games is stored in the usual figure pending number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of pending custom figure variable games each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is re-stored in the usual figure number-of-holds storage area. Also, the random number value used for the hit determination is deleted.

  Subsequently, special figure prefetching processing (step S224) is executed. Details of the special figure prefetching process will be described later. Next, the special figure state update process for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is performed. First, the special figure state update process (the special figure 2 state update process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step S225). In the special figure 2 state update process, one of the following processes is performed according to the state of the special figure 2.

  For example, in the special figure 2 state update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the special figure 2 display symbol update timer described above is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the second special figure display device 214 is turned on. Performs lighting / extinguishing drive control that repeatedly turns off. By performing this control, the second special figure display device 214 performs the special figure 2 fluctuation display (special figure 2 fluctuation game). In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation start setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the process ends.

  Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with flags such as a big hit flag, a lost flag, a special figure probability fluctuation flag, a common figure probability fluctuation flag, and a time reduction flag. These flags are set to ON or OFF based on the stop symbol determined in the special figure 2 related lottery process described later. In the special figure 2 state update process starting at the timing when the special figure 2 variable display time has elapsed (the timing when the value of the special figure 2 display symbol update timer changes from 1 to 0), for example, in the case of a big hit, the special figure A When any of the special figure I, the loss flag is on, the 7-segment LED constituting the second special figure display device 214 is controlled to be turned on / off so that the special figure J is in the form of the RAM 308. Is set to indicate that the special figure 2 stop display is in progress. By performing this control, the second special symbol display device 214 performs fixed display of any one of the big hit symbol (special symbol A to special symbol I) and the lost symbol (special symbol J).

  Thereafter, in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 ms), information indicating the stop period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308. With this setting, the specially displayed special figure 2 is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the result of the special figure 2 variable game is notified to the player. Also, if the time reduction number stored in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the time reduction number, and if the subtraction result becomes 1 to 0, the time reduction flag is turned off. To do. Further, the hourly flag is also turned off during the big hit game (in the special game state).

  Further, the special transmission information indicating that the rotation stop setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the design for stopping the variable display is shown in FIG. The special figure 2 identification information indicating the presence is additionally stored in the RAM 308 as information to be included in command data, which will be described later, and the processing is terminated.

  Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit, the big hit flag is turned on. When the big hit flag is on, in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the setting of the RAM 308 is set. In order to set a special figure 2 in operation in the area and wait for a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period during which an image for notifying the player that a big hit by the decorative symbol display device 208 is started is displayed. In addition, information indicating the winning effect period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the winning effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends (the timing when the value of the special figure 2 standby time management timer changes from 1 to 0), a predetermined release period (for example, 180 ms, Alternatively, until a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) are detected in the variable prize opening 2340, the drive means 2342 for opening / closing the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 (part of various solenoids 332) is used. In addition, a signal for holding the slide member 2341 in the open state is output, and information indicating the open period is set in the storage area of the door open time management timer provided in the RAM 308. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening release setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the door opening time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 0.5 seconds) A signal for holding the slide member 2341 in a closed state is output to the driving means 2342 for opening / closing the slide member 2341 of the special electric accessory 234 (part of various solenoids 332), and the door closing time management provided in the RAM 308 is managed. Information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area of the timer. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening closing setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts and closes the opening / closing control of the door member a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, two rounds), a predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a decorative pattern In order to set to stand by while displaying an image that informs the player that the big hit by the display device 208 will be ended, the effect standby period is indicated in the storage area of the effect standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Set the information. In addition, if the normal probability fluctuation flag is set to “1” or “2”, the number of hours (for example, 100 times) is set in the hourly number memory provided in the RAM 308 simultaneously with the end of the big hit game. At the same time, the time reduction flag provided in the RAM 308 is set to a value corresponding to the ordinary probability variation flag. If the usual time probability variation flag is set to “0”, the time reduction number is not set in the time reduction number storage unit, and the time reduction flag is set to “0”.

  The time saving here means that the pachinko machine will be in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the big hit in the special figure variable game to the start of the next big hit. In the embodiment, it is advantageous for the player by increasing the fluctuation time of the special figure in the special figure variable game, making the ordinary electric accessory 232 easy to be in an open state, and making it easy to win the second special figure start port 2320. I try to be in a state. When the time reduction flag is set to “1” or “2”, it is a normal high probability state (general probability change). There is a higher probability of hitting in the general-game variable game in the high-probability state than in the normal-game low-probability state. In addition, in the normal figure high probability state, the fluctuation time of the common figure variable game may be shorter than that in the normal figure low probability state (normal figure change short). Furthermore, in the normal high-probability state, compared to the normal low-probability state, the opening time in one opening of the slide member 2321 of the ordinary electric accessory 232 tends to be long (electric chew extension). In addition, the slide member 2321 is more likely to open in the normal high probability state than in the normal low probability state. The state in which any one of these ordinary figure change, universal figure change, and electric Chu extension is set is referred to as an electric support (starting prize winning support by electric tulip) state.

  Further, as described above, the hourly flag is set to “0” during the big hit game (in the special game state). Therefore, the normal low probability state is maintained during the big hit game. This is because, if the game is in a high probability state during a big hit game, a predetermined number of game balls will be placed in the special figure 2 starting port 232 until a predetermined number of game balls are entered during the big hit game. In order to solve this, there is a problem that the number of game balls that can be acquired during the big hit increases and the number of game balls that can be acquired during a big hit increases, resulting in an increase in gambling.

  Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the end effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined end production period ends (when the production standby time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the special figure 2 is not activated in the setting area of the RAM 308. Set medium.

  Furthermore, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a loss, the loss flag is turned on. When the lost flag is on, even in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, special figure 2 inactive is set. In the special figure 2 state update process when the special figure 2 is not in operation, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S227.

  Subsequently, special figure state update processing (special figure 1 state update process) for special figure 1 is performed (step S227). In the special figure 1 state update process, each process described in the special figure 2 state update process is performed according to the state of the special figure 1. Each process performed in the special figure 1 state update process is the same as the process in which “special figure 2” in the contents described in the special figure 2 state update process is replaced with “special figure 1”. Omitted. The order of the special figure 2 state update process and the special figure 1 state update process may be reversed.

  When the special figure state update process in step S225 and step S227 is completed, a special figure related lottery process for each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed. Also here, first, a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 2 (a special drawing 2 related lottery process) is performed (step S229), and then a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 1 (a special drawing 1 related lottery process). ) Is performed (step S231). In the special drawing 2 related lottery process, the floating game of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 is not performed, and the state of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 are both inactive and is held. The game is executed using the first special figure 2 winning random number value and the special figure 2 random number value in the special figure 2 random value storage area, starting from the fact that the number of variable games is 1 or more. The special figure 1 related lottery process does not perform the floating game of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the state of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are both inactive, and is suspended. The game is executed using the first special figure 1 winning random number value and the special figure 1 random number value in the special figure 1 random value storage area as a starting condition that the number of variable games is 1 or more.

  Also for these special drawing related lottery processes, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure 2 related lottery processing before the special figure 1 related lottery processing, so that the special figure 2 variable game start condition and the special figure 1 fluctuation Even if the game start conditions are satisfied at the same time, since the special figure 2 variable game is changing first, the special figure 1 variable game does not start changing. In addition, when the number of reserved special figure 2 variable games is 1 or more, the lottery process and the variable game related to the special figure 1 variable game hold are not performed. In addition, the decorative symbol display device 208 notifies the result of the determination of whether or not the special figure variation game is successful, by the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500, and is used for winning a prize at the second special diagram start port 2320. The notification of the lottery result of the lottery based is performed in preference to the notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first special figure starting port 230. In the present exemplary embodiment, a special figure variable game with a high advantage (in this example, special figure 2 variable game) is performed in preference to a special figure variable game with a low advantage (in this example, special figure 1 variable game). For this reason, it may be easy to give a difference in the advantage of the gaming state.

  In the case of the special figure 2 related lottery process in step S229, the main control unit 300 starts the special figure 2 start information (special) from the first (most recently stored) holding position in the special figure 2 random value storage area. 2), and based on the special figure 2 winning random number value in the obtained special figure 2 start information, the value of the special figure probability variation flag in the RAM 308, and the like. Is used to determine whether to make a big hit or to lose (use / non-use determination). Next, the main control unit 300 uses the special figure determination table stored in the ROM 306 on the basis of the special figure 2 random number value in the acquired special figure 2 start information and the determined success / failure determination result. The symbol (stop symbol) to be stopped after the change display is determined. Next, the main control unit 300 is stored in the ROM 306 based on, for example, the determined success / failure determination result, the stop symbol, the special figure 2 holding number at the time of the determination, the acquired special figure variation time determination random number value, and the like. The variable display time (timer number) in FIG. 2 is determined using various tables.

  The main control unit 300 extracts the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random value storage area, erases the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random value storage area, 2 is subtracted from the special figure 2 hold number in the hold number storage area. At this time, the special figure 2 start information extracted from the special figure 2 random value storage area is stored in the temporary area provided in the RAM 308, and the above-described determination is performed based on the special figure 2 start information stored in the temporary area. You may do it.

  After the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) as described above, the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) is performed in the same manner. The order of the special figure 1 related lottery process and the special figure 2 related lottery process may be reversed.

  In the above explanation, the special figure 2 variable game is started with priority over the special figure 1 variable game, and the special figure 2 priority change is prioritized over the special figure 1 hold. The special figure 1 variable game is started with priority over the special figure 2 variable game, and the special figure 1 hold is a priority figure change that is consumed in preference to the special figure 2 hold. May be. In addition, the priority opening variation which starts the special drawing variable game related to the suspension of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 in the starting opening winning order without giving priority to any of the special drawing 2 floating game and the special drawing 1 floating game. It may be. In the starting order winning order variation, the upper limit number of holds is 8 regardless of the special figures 1 and 2, and compared with the priority fluctuation in which the upper limit number of holds is 4 in each of the special figures 1 and 2 In some cases, the upper limit of the number of holds can be increased.

  In the above description, it is assumed that the lottery process and the variable game relating to the holding of the other special figure are not performed according to the state of one special figure. The process and the special figure related lottery process may be performed independently in the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, respectively, so that a plurality of special figures may be changed simultaneously. In addition, when a plurality of special figures are changed at the same time, a plurality of areas for displaying the lottery results of each special figure are provided on the decorative symbol display device 208 or the lottery results of each special figure are displayed. A plurality of decorative symbol display devices may be provided so that each lottery result may be displayed separately, or one display may be configured to display lottery results of a plurality of special drawings. In addition, when changes related to a plurality of special figures are performed simultaneously, the lottery result of the special figure that stopped the fluctuation may affect the lottery result of the special figure that stops the fluctuation later.

  In step S233 following step S231, command setting transmission processing is performed. In this command setting transmission process, various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits, for example, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bits 11 to 14 are Command type (in this example, basic command, special figure change start command, universal figure change start command, symbol change stop command, winning effect start command, end effect start command, jackpot round number designation command, power recovery command, RAM clear Command, information that can specify the type of command such as a prefetch result information command), and bits 0 to 10 are configured by command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  Specifically, the strobe information is turned on or off by the command transmission process described above. If the command type is a special figure change start (rotation start) command, the command data includes various jackpot flags, loss flags, special figure probability fluctuation flag values, timer numbers selected in the special figure related lottery process, etc. In the case of a symbol variation stop (rotation stop) command, the information includes various jackpot flags, loss flags, special figure probability variation flag values, etc., even in the case of a winning effect start command and an end effect start command For example, the value of the special figure probability variation flag is included, and in the case of a big hit round number designation command, the value of the special figure probability fluctuation flag, the number of big hit rounds, and the like are included. When the command type indicates a basic command, device information in the command data, presence / absence of winning at the first special figure starting port 230, presence / absence of winning at the second special figure starting port 2320, winning of the variable winning port 2340 Includes presence or absence. In the case of a prefetch result information command, information such as the types of special figure 1 and special figure 2, the number of prefetches stored in a prefetch number storage area, which will be described later, and a stop symbol stored in the prefetch result storage unit are used as command data. Including. Further, when the command type is a normal figure change start (rotation start) command, the command data includes information indicating a hit flag, a lost flag, a stop symbol, a change time, and the like.

  In the rotation start setting transmission process described above, various jackpot flags, loss flags, special figure probability variation flag values stored in the RAM 308, special figure 1 related lottery processes, and special figure 2 related lottery processes are stored in the command data. Information indicating the timer number selected in step 1, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game, etc. that are held is set. In the rotation stop setting transmission process described above, information indicating values of various big hit flags, loss flags, special figure probability variation flags, etc. stored in the RAM 308 is set in the command data.

  In the winning effect setting transmission process described above, the command control data stored in the RAM 308, the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, the various lamps 442, 452, and the speaker 120 during the winning effect period, the special figure probability variation Information indicating the value of the flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game held, etc. is set. In the above-described end effect setting transmission processing, command control data stored in the RAM 308, effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 442, 452, and the speaker 120 during the effect standby period, special figure probability variation Information indicating the value of the flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game held, etc. is set. In the above-described special winning opening release setting transmission process, the command data includes the number of big hits stored in the RAM 308, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game held. Set the information that indicates. In the above-mentioned special winning opening closing setting transmission process, the command data includes the number of big hit rounds stored in the RAM 308, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the number of the special figure 1 variable game or the special figure 2 variable game held. Set the information that indicates.

  In step S233, general command special figure hold increase processing is also performed. In this general command special figure pending increase process, special figure identification information (information showing special figure 1 or special figure 2) stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308, command notice information (preliminary notice information, false) Set either advance notice information or no advance notice information).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step S235 following step S233, external output signal setting processing is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 350 separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 336.

  In step S237 following step S235, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, the signal states of the various sensors stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read, and the presence or absence of a predetermined error, for example, the presence or absence of a front frame door opening error or the presence or absence of a bottom pan full error is monitored. . When a front frame door open error or a lower pan full error is detected, the transmission information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 includes device information indicating whether there is a front frame door open error or a lower pan full error. Set. Further, various solenoids 332 are driven to control the opening and closing of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the special electric accessory 234, and the general map display device 210 and the first special figure display device via the drive circuits 324, 326, and 330. Display data to be output to 212, the second special figure display device 214, various status display units 328, and the like are set in the output port of the I / O 310. Further, the output schedule information set in the payout request number transmission process (step S219) is output to the payout control unit 600 via the output port of the I / O 310.

  In step S239 following step S237, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is ON. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when power supply cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S243, and when the low voltage signal is off (when power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S241. In step S241, timer interrupt end processing is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 is set in each original register, interrupt permission is set, etc., and then the main control unit main process shown in FIG. Return to. On the other hand, in step S243, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 as return data, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, it becomes a HALT state.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the special figure prefetch process (step S224) of the main control unit timer interrupt process. In the special figure prefetching process, the main control unit 300 prefetches the start information increased in each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, predetermines the stop symbol before the success / failure judgment process, and obtains a predetermination result (special The figure prefetching result) is stored in the prefetching result storage unit in the RAM 308 (see FIGS. 15A to 15C).

  Here, in the RAM 308, the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit for storing the special figure 1 prefetch results and the number of special figure 1 prefetch results stored in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit are specially shown. A special figure 1 pre-reading number storage area for storing as one pre-reading number is provided. The prefetch result storage unit for special figure 1 can store up to four prefetch results in this example. In the special figure 1 prefetching result storage unit, every time the number of special figure 1 prefetching decreases by one, the data of the special figure 1 prefetching result with the highest rank (first) is erased and the remaining special figure 1 prefetching result Are processed so that the rank of the data is incremented by one. Each time the special figure 1 prefetch number increases by one, new special figure 1 prefetch result data is written in the next rank of the special figure 1 prefetch result data of the lowest rank (last).

  Also, in the RAM 308, the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit for storing the special figure 2 prefetch result and the number of special figure 2 prefetch results stored in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit are stored in the special figure 2 prefetch. A special figure 2 pre-reading number storage area for storing numbers is provided. The prefetch result storage unit for special figure 2 can store up to four prefetch results in this example. In the special figure 2 prefetching result storage unit, every time the number of special figure 2 prefetching decreases by one, the data of the special figure 2 prefetching result having the highest rank is deleted and the order of the remaining special figure 2 prefetching result data Are processed so that they are incremented by one. Each time the special figure 2 prefetch number increases by one, new special figure 2 prefetch result data is written in the next rank of the special figure 2 prefetch data having the lowest rank.

  In the special figure prefetching process, first, the main control unit 300 determines whether or not the startup information of the special figure 2 has increased (step S301). The determination as to whether or not the start information of the special figure 2 has increased is stored in, for example, the special figure 2 hold number stored in the special figure 2 hold number storage area and the special figure 2 prefetch number storage area. Special figure 2 Compared with the number of pre-reads. The main control unit 300 determines that the start information of the special figure 2 has increased when the special figure 2 hold number is larger than the special figure 2 prefetch number, and the special figure 2 hold number is the special figure 2 prefetch number. If they are equal, it is determined that the starting information in FIG. 2 has not increased. If it is determined that the starting information of FIG. 2 has increased, the process proceeds to step S303, and if it is determined that the starting information of FIG. 2 has not increased, the process proceeds to step S307.

  In step S303, the increased special figure 2 starting information (a special figure 2 winning random value and a set of special figure 2 random values) is processed before the success / failure determination process in the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229). FIG. 2 Read ahead from the random value storage area. Then, using the pre-read special figure 2 start information and the determination table for special determination 2 and the special figure determination table used at the time of determination, for example, the special figure 2 variable game stop symbol related to the start information is selected. Prior determination is made before the success / failure determination process in the process (step S229). Note that this pre-determination process may be performed using a special table for pre-determination instead of the table used at the time of determination.

  In step S 305 subsequent to step S 303, the stop symbol information as the special figure 2 prefetch result obtained in the pre-determination is stored in the earliest free area of the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit in the RAM 308. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S307.

  In step S307, the main control unit 300 determines whether or not the start information in FIG. 1 has increased. Whether or not the starting information of the special figure 1 has increased is determined by, for example, the special figure 1 holding number stored in the special figure 1 holding number storage area and the special figure 1 pre-reading number storage as in the special figure 2. The comparison is made with the special figure 1 prefetch number stored in the area. If it is determined that the start information of FIG. 1 has increased, the process proceeds to step S309, and if it is determined that the start information of FIG. Return to timer interrupt processing.

  In step S309, it is determined based on various flags in the RAM 308 whether or not non-electric support is in progress. If it is determined that the non-electric support is being performed, the process proceeds to step S311. If it is determined that the non-electric support is not being performed (the electric support is being performed (normal high probability state)), the process proceeds to step S315. In this example, it is determined whether or not non-electric support is being performed, but it may be determined whether or not the execution condition of the special figure 1 prefetch notice is satisfied. For example, the execution conditions of the special figure 1 pre-reading notice include conditions such as not being in a big hit game other than being in non-electric support.

  In step S311, the increased special figure 1 start information (a special figure 1 winning random value and a pair of special figure 1 random value) is processed before the success determination process in the special figure 1 lottery process (step S231). FIG. 1 Read ahead from the random value storage area. Then, using the pre-read special figure 1 start information and the determination table for special determination and the special figure determination table used at the time of determination, for example, the special figure 1 variable game stop symbol related to the start information is selected as the special figure 1 related lottery. Prior determination is made before the success / failure determination process in the process (step S231). Note that this pre-determination process may be performed using a special table for pre-determination instead of the table used at the time of determination.

  In step S313 following step S311, the stop symbol information as the special figure 1 prefetching result obtained in the prior determination is stored in the earliest free area of the special figure 1 prefetching result storage unit in the RAM 308. Thereafter, the special figure prefetch process is terminated and the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  In step S315, the pre-read result for pre-Fig. 1 is stored in the RAM 308 in place of the stop symbol information, instead of pre-reading the start-up information without pre-reading the increased special Fig. 1 start information. Stored in the earliest free area of the copy. Thereafter, the special figure prefetch process is terminated and the process returns to the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  In the present embodiment, only the increased start information is pre-read and pre-determined. However, all start information may be pre-read and pre-determined. Further, in the above-described command setting transmission process (step S233), only the pre-read result of the starting information for the increase may be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, or the pre-read result storage for special figure 1 and special figure 2 All the prefetching results in the section may be transmitted to the first sub-control section 400.

  Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, pre-reading is always executed for the increased starting information of Special Figure 2, and pre-reading is always executed for the increased starting information of Special Figure 1 except during the electric support. However, it may be determined by lottery whether or not to pre-read the increased starting information of FIG. 1 and FIG. Alternatively, in the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the prefetch result from the main control unit 300, for example, it may be determined by lottery whether to perform prefetch notification for each hold. Regardless of the gaming state (for example, whether or not non-electric support is in progress), when the start information increases, prefetching is always executed and the prefetching result is stored in the prefetching result storage unit. The result may be configured to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, and the first sub-control unit 400 may be configured to determine whether or not to perform lottery and presentation using the pre-read result.

  FIG. 15 illustrates a state in which prefetch result information and the like are stored in the prefetch result storage unit in the RAM 308. FIG. 15A shows an example of a state in which the special figure 1 prefetch result information is stored in the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit. As shown in FIG. 15A, the special figure 1 prefetch result storage unit has, for example, the same number (four in this embodiment) of storage areas as the number of special figure 1 variable games that can be held. Each storage area is associated with the hold order (hold 1 to hold 4) of the special figure 1 random value storage area. In each of the storage areas, the stop symbol information of Special Figure 1 is stored. In the example shown in FIG. 15A, the storage area “hold 1” stores “special drawing J” (losing) as stop symbol information, and the storage area “hold 2” stores “special drawing J” as stop symbol information. "(Loose)" is stored, "Special Figure A" (2R probability variation big hit) is stored as the stop symbol information in the storage area "Hold 3", and "Special Figure J" is stored as the stop symbol information in the storage area "Hold 4". "Is lost."

  FIG. 15B shows an example of a state in which the special figure 2 prefetch result information is stored in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. As shown in FIG. 15B, the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit has, for example, the same number (four in this embodiment) of storage areas as that of the special figure 2 variable game. Each storage area is associated with the hold order (hold 1 to hold 4) of the special figure 2 random value storage area. In each of the storage areas, the stop symbol information of the special figure 2 is stored. In the example shown in FIG. 15B, the storage area “hold 1” stores “special drawing J” (losing) as stop symbol information, and the storage areas “hold 2” to “hold 4” have stop symbols. Information is not stored. In FIG. 15B, a state in which the stop symbol information is not stored in the storage area is expressed as “none”.

  FIG. 15 (c) shows an example of the prefetch result storage unit for special figure 1 during the electric support. As shown in FIG. 15C, “undecided” information is stored in the storage area “hold 1” instead of the stopped symbol information. In the storage areas “hold 2” to “hold 4”, neither stop symbol information nor “undecided” information is stored.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the stop symbol information described above, whether or not to determine the result, the variable timer number (variable time), a timer group to be described later, and the like are preliminarily determined, and the information is stored in the prefetch result storage unit and the prefetch result Information can be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  Next, with respect to the special figure determination table used in the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) and the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) in the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to (a) and FIG.

When determining whether or not special figure 1 is true, if it is in a special figure high probability state, refer to the high probability table for special figure success / failure determination shown in FIG. For that, refer to the special-probability determination low probability table shown in FIG. Then, based on the numerical range indicated by the referenced special figure success / failure determination table and the acquired random number value, the determination result of special figure 1 variable game is determined. In the present embodiment, in the case of the special figure 1 variable game, the big hit or the loss is selected as the determination result.

  Similarly, when determining whether or not the special figure 2 is true, if the special figure high probability state is obtained, the special figure low probability state shown in FIG. If it is, the special probability determination low probability table shown in FIG. Then, based on the numerical range indicated by the referenced determination table and the obtained random number value, the determination result of the special figure 2 variable game is selected. In the present embodiment, in the case of the special figure 2 variable game, the big hit or the loss is selected as the determination result.

  In the present embodiment, when the success / failure determination of FIG. 1 and the determination of FIG. 2 are both in the special figure high probability state, the jackpot is selected with a probability of 1/2 and the special figure is in the low probability state. The jackpot is selected with a probability of about 1/20.

  Next, referring to FIG. 16 (c) and FIG. 16 (d) regarding the common figure determination table used in the common figure related lottery process (step S223) in the main controller timer interruption process shown in FIG. While explaining. Here, FIG. 16C is a diagram illustrating an example of a high probability table for determining whether or not a normal figure is received, and FIG. 16D is a diagram illustrating an example of a low probability table for determining whether or not a normal figure is correct. . In the case of determining whether or not a normal figure is present, if it is in the high probability state of normal figure, refer to the high probability table for determining whether or not normal figure is shown in FIG. Refers to the universal probability determination low probability table shown in FIG. Then, based on the numerical value range indicated in the referenced normal figure success / failure determination table and the acquired random number value, the success / failure determination result of the normal figure variation game is selected. In the present embodiment, in the case of a general-purpose variable game, winning or losing is selected as the determination result. In the present embodiment, when the normal figure is in a high probability state, the hit is selected with a probability of 100%, and in the normal figure low probability state, the loss is selected with a probability of 100%.

  Next, a special determination performed based on the determination result or the like determined in the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) and the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) in the main control unit timer interruption process shown in FIG. A special symbol determination table used for determining the stop symbol in the figure will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 17A is a diagram showing an example of the special symbol design determination table. In the present embodiment, the special symbol design determination table shown in FIG. When determining the stop symbols of Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2, refer to the special symbol determination table shown in FIG. Based on the range, the stop symbol of the special figure is selected. In the present embodiment, when the result of the special figure is a big hit, any one of the special figures A to I is selected, and when the result of the special figure is lost, the special figure J is Selected. In the present embodiment, for both special figure 1 and special figure 2, when big hit is selected, special figure A is selected with a probability of 1/10, and special figure B is selected with a probability of 1/10. A special figure C is selected with a probability of / 10, a special figure D is selected with a probability of 1/10, a special figure E is selected with a probability of 1/20, and a special figure F is selected with a probability of 1/10. The special figure G is selected with a probability of 1/5, the special figure H is selected with a probability of 1/20, and the special figure I is selected with a probability of 1/5.

  Next, the general symbol determination used for determining the stop symbol of the general symbol performed based on the determination result or the like determined in the common symbol related lottery processing (step S223) in the main control timer interruption processing shown in FIG. The table for use will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 (b) to 17 (d). Here, FIG. 17B is a diagram showing an example of the general symbol determination low probability table, and FIG. 17C is a diagram showing an example of the general symbol determination high probability 1 table. Yes, FIG. 18D is a diagram showing an example of a high probability 2 table for determining a general symbol.

  When determining whether or not a normal figure is in the normal state, if the normal figure is in a low probability state, refer to the general symbol determination low probability table shown in FIG. Is referred to the normal symbol determination high probability 1 table shown in FIG. 17C, and in the case of the normal symbol high probability 2 state, the normal symbol determination high probability 2 shown in FIG. Browse the table. In this embodiment, since 100% loss is selected in the normal figure low probability state, the common figure C which is a loss figure is always selected, and in the normal figure high probability 1 state, 100% is selected and the winning symbol is selected. Among them, the normal figure A is always selected, and in the normal figure high probability 2 state, per 100% is selected, and the normal figure B of the winning symbols is always selected.

  Next, the game characteristics of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the jackpot symbol and the gaming state after the jackpot game ends.

  In this embodiment, when the special figure A or the special figure D is a big hit, since the special figure A and the special figure D are probabilistic symbols, the special figure high probability state is shifted to after the big hit game ends. Regardless of whether the special figure is in a low probability state or a special figure high probability state, if the special figure A or special figure D is a big hit in a state that is not in the electric support state, after the big hit game is over, Support is not granted. On the other hand, regardless of whether it is a special figure low probability state or a special figure high probability state, if a big hit is made in the special figure A or special figure D in the electric support state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high Electric support in the probability 1 state is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed 100 times or until the next big hit. When the special figure A or the special figure D is a big hit, since the big hit effect is not particularly performed, the player may not be aware of the big hit.

  Further, when the special figure B is a big hit, since the special figure B is a probability variation symbol, the special figure high probability state is entered after the big hit game ends. In the case of a big hit in the special figure B, regardless of the game state at the time of the big hit, after the big hit game ends, the electric support in the normal high probability two state is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed 100 times or until the next big hit. If the special figure B is a big hit when not in the electric support state, the second special figure start port 2320 enters the rush mode, which is an electric support state that is very easy to win, and the bonus during the rush is given. If the special support B is a big hit in the electric support state, the effect that the bonus during the rush is extended is performed. Thus, the player may be able to recognize that the player is in an advantageous state.

  Further, when the special figure C is a big hit, since the special figure C is a probable variation symbol, the special figure high probability state is shifted to after the big hit game ends. In addition, regardless of whether it is in the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure C is a big hit in a state that is not in the electric support state, the electric support is not given after the big hit game ends. . On the other hand, regardless of whether it is in the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure C is a big hit in the electric support state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high probability two state The electric support is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed 100 times or until the next big hit. If the special figure C is a big hit in a state that is not in the electric support state, the player may not be aware that the big hit has been made because the big hit effect is not performed. In the case of a big hit, an effect is given that the bonus during the rush will be extended, and the player may be able to recognize that it has become an advantageous state.

  Also, if the special figure E is a big hit, the special figure E is a non-probable variable symbol, so after the big hit game is over, the special figure low probability state is entered. In addition, regardless of whether the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if it is a big hit in the special figure E in a state that is not in the electric support state, no electric support will be granted after the big hit game ends . On the other hand, regardless of whether it is in the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure E is a big hit in the electric support state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high probability two state The electric support is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed 100 times or until the next big hit. When the big win is made in the special figure E in the state that is not in the electric support state, since the big hit effect is not particularly performed, the player may not be aware of the big hit, but in the electric support state, the special figure C In the case of a big hit, an effect is given that the bonus during the rush will be extended, and the player may be able to recognize that it has become an advantageous state.

  Further, when the special figure F is a big hit, since the special figure F is an uncertain variable symbol, the special figure low probability state is entered after the big hit game ends. In addition, when the big win is made in the special figure F, regardless of the game state at the time of the big win, after the big hit game is ended, the electric support in the normal high probability 2 state is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed 100 times or until the next big hit. When a big hit is made in the special figure F without being in the power support state, the rush mode is entered and a bonus during rush is given. Moreover, if the special figure F is a big hit, the special figure low probability state will occur, so there is a high possibility that the electric support state will continue for a long time, so a chance bonus indicating that it is a special bonus during rush is given The effect is performed. On the other hand, when the special support F is a big hit in the electric support state, an effect that the bonus during rush is extended is performed. Thus, the player may be able to recognize that the player is in an advantageous state.

  Also, if the special figure G is a big hit, since the special figure G is an uncertain variable symbol, the special figure low probability state is entered after the big hit game ends. Also, regardless of whether the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure G is a big hit in a state that is not in the electric support state, no electric support will be given after the end of the big hit game . On the other hand, regardless of whether the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure G is a big hit in the electric support state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high probability one state The electric support is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of one special figure is completed. If the special figure G is a big hit in a state that is not in the electric support state, since the big hit effect is not particularly performed, the player may not notice that the big hit. On the other hand, when a big hit is made in the special figure G in the electric support state, a fall effect indicating that the rush mode ends is performed. Thus, the player may be able to recognize that the rush mode is finished.

  If the special figure H is a big hit, since the special figure H is an uncertain variable symbol, the special figure low probability state is entered after the big hit game ends. In addition, regardless of whether it is in the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure H is a big hit in a state not in the electric support state, no electric support will be given after the big hit game ends. . On the other hand, regardless of whether the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure H is a big hit in the electric support state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high probability one state The electric support is given. This electric support state continues until the special figure fluctuation display is performed 10 times or until the next big hit. If the special figure H is a big hit in a state that is not in the electric support state, the big hit effect is not particularly performed, so the player may not notice that the big hit. On the other hand, if the special figure H is a big hit in the electric support state, when the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed ten times, an effect of shifting to a final chance indicating the end of the rush mode is performed. Thus, the player may be able to have a sense of expectation as to whether or not he / she will be a big hit by displaying the variation of the special figure 10 times.

  Further, when the special figure I is a big hit, since the special figure I is a non-probable variable symbol, the special figure low probability state is shifted to after the big hit game ends. In addition, regardless of whether the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure I is a big hit in the state that is not the electric support state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high probability 2 Electric support in the state is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of one special figure is completed. On the other hand, regardless of whether it is in the special figure low probability state or the special figure high probability state, if the special figure C is a big hit in the electric support state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high probability two state The electric support is given. This electric support state is continued until the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed 100 times or until the next big hit. If the special figure I is a big hit in a state that is not in the electric support state, a rush challenge will be performed to indicate that there is a chance to shift to the rush mode if the next special figure fluctuation display is a big hit . Thus, the player may be able to have a sense of expectation regarding the transition to the rush mode. On the other hand, when a big hit is made in the special map I in the electric support state, an effect that the bonus during rush is extended is performed.

In step S505, 0 is substituted into the timer variable.

  In step S507 following step S505, command processing is performed. The CPU of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command is received from the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S509 subsequent to step S507, an effect control process is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S507, processing such as reading effect data (effect data by the decorative symbol display device 208) corresponding to this command is read from a ROM (not shown), and the effect data is updated. If necessary, the effect data is updated.

  In step S511 subsequent to step S509, image control processing is performed. In the image control process, if there is a command to the VDP 516 in the effect data read in step S509, this command is output to the VDP 516 (details will be described later). Thereafter, the process returns to step S503.

  FIG. 22D is a flowchart of the image control process in step S511 of the second sub control unit main process. In step S551, an instruction to transfer image data (movie data or texture data described later) is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the drawing areas of the frame buffer 1 and the frame buffer 2 of the VRAM 518. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the frame buffer not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the decorative design display device 208. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 518), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the position information table, and then the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 516 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S553 following step S551, it is determined whether or not the transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 is input. If the transfer end interrupt signal is input (step S553: Yes), the process proceeds to step S555. If not (step S553: No), it waits for the transfer end interrupt signal to be input.

Here, in order to form a display image in the frame buffer 1 or 2 of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S551, the CPU 504 sets information on image data (coordinate axis of VRAM 518, image size). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 516. The VDP 516 performs parameter setting according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S557 following step S555, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S559 following step S557, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the end of image drawing is input. If a generation end interrupt signal is input (step S559: Yes), The process proceeds to step S561, and if not (step S559: No), it waits for the generation end interrupt signal to be input.

  In step S561, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

  Next, a game flow in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining the game flow.

  In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, first, the normal mode (the special figure low probability normal figure low probability state) is started. In the normal mode, if the result of the fluctuation display of the special figure is “special figure A, special figure C, special figure D, special figure E, special figure G, special figure H, special figure J”, the normal mode There is no transition from. In addition, when a big hit is made in “Special Figure A / Special Figure C / Special Figure D”, after the big hit game is over, the special figure low probability state shifts to the special figure high probability state. Remains in a low probability state.

  On the other hand, in the normal mode, if the special figure fluctuation display results in a big hit with “Special B / F”, the rush mode is entered from the normal mode. Moves to the bonus during rush with a probability of 2 state. That is, the normal control state is changed from the normal low probability state to the normal high probability two state. In addition, when the big hit with “Special Figure B”, after the big hit game is over, the special figure low probability state shifts to the special figure high probability state, and when “Special Figure F” is a big hit, After ending, the special figure remains in a low probability state. In other words, it is less likely that a big hit with "Special Figure F" will result in a low probability of a special figure after the big hit is completed, and a big hit with "Special Figure B" will not be a big hit. Easy rush bonus is likely to continue for a long time, and you may be able to earn more balls. Although not particularly mentioned in the following description, in this embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, if the special figure is displayed 100 times without the big hit, the normal figure low probability is changed from the normal figure high probability state. It becomes a state and shifts to the normal mode.

  Further, in the normal mode, when the special figure fluctuation display results in the special figure I that is a big hit, after the big hit game is over, the normal mode is shifted to the rush challenge. That is, the normal control state is changed from the normal low probability state to the normal high probability two state. In addition, when a big hit is made in “Special Figure I”, the special figure low probability state remains after the big hit game ends. Then, when a big hit is made in “Special Figure I”, only the first special figure change display after the end of the big hit game is in a normal high probability two state. In other words, the chance to win a lot of balls is only the display of the fluctuation of the first special chart. If the fluctuation display of the special chart does not win again, the transition to the normal figure low probability state, Return to normal mode.

  During the rush mode, if the result of the special figure change display is other than “Special Figure G / Special Figure H”, the rush mode is continued. In other words, if a big win other than “Special Figure G / Special Figure H” is obtained in the ordinary figure high probability 1 state or ordinary figure high probability 2 state, the ordinary figure high probability 1 state or ordinary figure high after the big hit game ends. In the case of the probability 2 state, and the “special drawing J” is displayed in the ordinary high probability 1 state or the ordinary high probability 2 state, the control state continues. More specifically, if you win a big hit with "Special Figure A / Special Figure D", after the jackpot game ends, you will be in a high figure 1 probability state and the rush mode will continue, but you will shift to the bonus during the rush. There is no special performance. Also, if you win a big hit with "Special Figure B, Special Figure C, Special Figure E, Special Figure F, Special Figure I", after the big hit game ends, you will be in a normal high probability 2 state and become a bonus during rush Transition. In addition, if you win a big hit with "Special Figure A, Special Figure B, Special Figure C, Special Figure D", after the big hit game is over, it will be in the special figure high probability state, and "Special Figure E, Special Figure F, Special Figure" In the case of a big hit in FIG. I, after the big hit game is over, a special figure low probability state is entered.

  In the rush mode, if the special figure fluctuation display result shows that the special figure G is a big hit, after the big hit game is over, the mode shifts from the rush mode to a mode in which a fall effect is performed (falling mode). That is, the normal control state is the normal high probability 1 state. In addition, when a big hit is made in “Special Figure G”, a special figure low probability state is entered after the big hit game ends. Then, when a big hit is made with “Special Figure G”, only in the first one special figure change display after the end of the big hit game, the common figure high probability is 1 state. In the case of a big hit again in the variation display of the special figure, it shifts to the normal figure low probability state and returns to the normal mode. On the other hand, if the special figure changes and displays a big hit other than "Special figure G / Special figure H", the system shifts to rush mode again and if "Special figure H" is a big hit, Transition to the final chance mode, which will be described later. Note that, when the special figure fluctuation display is a big hit with “Special figure G”, the fall mode is performed again.

  Further, during the rush mode, if the special figure variation display result shows that the special figure H is a big hit, after the big hit game is over, the rush mode is shifted to the final chance mode. That is, the normal control state is the normal high probability 1 state. In addition, when a big hit is made in “special figure H”, after the big hit game is over, a special figure low probability state is set. And, when the big hit with “Special Figure H”, after the big hit game is finished, until the special figure fluctuation display of 10 times, the normal figure high probability 1 state continues, 10 times without the big hit When the special figure variation display is performed, the normal figure low probability state is entered and the normal mode is restored. If a big hit other than "Special Figure G / Special Figure H" is made during the final chance mode, the mode will be shifted to the rush mode again. To do. In addition, when a big hit is made in “special drawing H”, the final chance mode is started again.

  During a rush challenge, if you win a big hit other than "Special Figure G / Special Figure H", go to Rush Mode, and if you win a big hit with "Special Figure H", go to Final Chance Mode . In addition, during the rush challenge, if a big hit is made with “Special Figure G”, after the big hit game is ended, the mode shifts to the once chance mode which is the same mode as the fall mode. That is, the normal control state is the normal high probability 1 state. Then, when the transition to the one-time chance mode and the first one-time fluctuation display of the special figure does not result in a big hit again, the routine shifts to the normal low probability state and returns to the normal mode. On the other hand, if the special chart changes to a big hit other than "Special Figure G / Special Figure H", the game shifts to rush mode, and if "Special Figure H" is a big hit, the final chance Enter mode. Note that if the special figure fluctuation display is a big hit with “Special Figure G”, the one-time chance mode is performed again.

  Next, the execution period of the big hit effect performed by the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 24A is a timing chart for explaining how the jackpot effect is continuously performed after the end of the jackpot game and after the symbol variation display is started, and FIG. It is a timing chart explaining a situation where the big hit effect is continuously performed after the big hit game is finished until the big hit at the reservation consecutive villa.

  In the present embodiment, the jackpot effect may be continuously performed even after the jackpot game ends. For example, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), after the special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol at the timing t1, a big hit start command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 at the timing t2. When the big hit game is started, the big hit effect by the decorative symbol display device 208, the speaker 120, the various lamps 442, 452, and the like is started.

  Thereafter, the first round is started at the timing t3, and the second round is started at the timing t4. After that, the big hit game ends at the timing of t5, but the big hit effect is still continuing. Subsequently, the special figure variation display is started at the timing of t6, but the big hit effect is still continuing here. Then, when the fluctuation display of the special figure is finished at the timing of t7, the big hit effect is also finished at this timing. It should be noted that the execution period of the big hit effect depends on the length of the execution period (x) of the special figure variable display that starts at the timing t6 and ends at the timing t7. In the present embodiment, it has been described that the jackpot effect continues after the end of the jackpot game until the one-time fluctuation display of the special figure is finished. However, when the jackpot game ends, the jackpot effect may end. There may be. In addition, after the big hit game is over, the number of times of the variable display of the special figure that continues the big hit effect may be two or more. In addition, after the big hit game is over, the number of special display fluctuation displays for continuing the big hit effect may be different for each big hit.

  Also, in this embodiment, when there is a fluctuation display of a special figure that becomes a big hit (pending consecutive villa big hit) in the fluctuation display of the special figure held during the big hit game, the big hit game starts and the big hit effect starts After being played, the jackpot effect may continue until the jackpot game of the reserved consecutive jackpot jackpot ends. For example, as shown in FIG. 24B, after the special figure stops and displays with the big hit symbol at the timing of t11, the big hit start command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 at the timing of t12. When the big hit game is started, the big hit effect is started by the decorative symbol display device 208, the speaker 120, the various lamps 442, 452, and the like, and then the first round is started at the timing of t13.

  After that, in the big hit game, when the change display of the special figure that is put on hold includes a big win, for example, at the timing of t14, a notification that the hold extended resort is generated (pending extended resort) Notification) may be performed. It should be noted that the pending consecutive resort notification may or may not always be performed when a big hit is included in the fluctuation display of the reserved special figure. Moreover, you may make it not perform such a reservation consecutive resort notification.

  Thereafter, the big hit game ends at the timing of t15, but the big hit effect is still ongoing. Subsequently, the first special figure variation display is started at the timing of t16, but the big hit effect is continuing here. Then, at the timing of t17, the special figure variation display ends, and the display result of the loss (for example, “special figure J”) is displayed. At this time, the jackpot production is still ongoing. Thereafter, the second special figure variation display is started at the timing of t18. This variation display of the special figure is a variation display of the special figure that is a big hit. Again, the jackpot production is ongoing. Then, after the fluctuation display of the special figure is finished at the timing of t19 and the display result of the big hit (for example, “Special figure A”) is displayed, the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 at the timing of t20. The jackpot start command is transmitted to the jackpot game. That is, the reservation consecutive jackpot big hit is started. Here, even if the jackpot start command is transmitted, the jackpot effect is not newly started, and the jackpot effect that is continuously performed before the start of the jackpot game is continued after the jackpot game is started. .

  Thereafter, when the big hit game ends at the timing of t21, the big hit effect that has been continuously performed since the start of the previous big hit game ends here. In the big hit game that starts at the timing of t20, if the change display of the special figure that is put on hold includes a big hit, the big hit effect is not ended and it continues until the end of the next big hit game You may make it make it. In this way, in the case shown in FIG. 24B, the execution period of the big hit effect is performed from the timing t12 when the first big hit game starts to the timing t21 when the second big hit game ends. In addition, during the execution of the big hit game, when the variation display of the special figure held is not included in the big hit game, the big hit effect may be ended together with the end of the big hit game. As in the case shown in 24 (a), after the jackpot game is ended, the jackpot effect may be continuously performed until the end of the first special chart variable display.

  Thus, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 24 (b), the player sees that the big-hit effect continues even though the big-hit game has ended, and the reserved consecutive jackpot big-hit occurs. You may be able to recognize that. In other words, the jackpot effect may continue to function even after the jackpot game is over, thereby functioning as a reserved resort notification. Therefore, the player may be able to increase the expectation for the occurrence of the reserved consecutive jackpot jackpot, and may be able to improve the interest.

  Next, a specific example of effects executed in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of effects centered on the decorative symbol display device 208 of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment.

  FIG. 25 includes a decorative symbol display device 208, a first special symbol display device 212, a second special symbol display device 214, a normal symbol display device 210, a special symbol 1 holding lamp 218, a special symbol 2 holding lamp 220, and a general symbol. A hold lamp 216 is shown.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 25A, the combination of decorative symbols “decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 6” is stopped and displayed. Although the background here is not displayed, a default background image is displayed. Also in the following description, when the background is not displayed, a default background image is displayed unless otherwise specified. Various background images different from the default background image (for example, a background image corresponding to a mode) may be displayed.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208, a special symbol 1 and a fourth symbol t1 and a special symbol 2 and a fourth symbol t2 are displayed in the upper right corner. The special symbol 1 and the fourth symbol t1 notify whether or not the special symbol 1 is variably displayed and also notify the stop symbol of the special symbol 1. The special symbol 2 and the fourth symbol t2 notify whether or not the special symbol 2 is variably displayed and also notify the stop symbol of the special symbol 2. When the special figure 1 is in a variable display, the special figure 1 4th symbol t1 displays, for example, a blinking symbol “-”, and when the special figure 2 is in a variable display, the special figure 2 4 For the symbol t1, for example, the symbol “-” is displayed in a blinking manner. As described above, the player may be able to determine which of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is being variably displayed at a glance. Note that the pre-reading notice may be performed by changing the display mode, lighting mode, and flashing mode of the fourth symbol.

  In addition, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays a hold icon representing the hold of the special figure 1 in the lower left corner, and at the timing shown in FIG. 25A, three variable displays of the special figure 1 are held. Therefore, three hold icons h11 to h13 are displayed. The number of holdings in FIG. 1 is represented not only by the number of lighting of the special figure 1 holding lamp 218 but also by the number of holding icons in FIG. That is, the hold icon corresponds to the start information stored in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. Hereinafter, the hold icon corresponding to the oldest start information (oldest winning prize) may be referred to as a first hold icon, and the hold icon corresponding to the second oldest start information may be referred to as a second hold icon. The hold icons h11 to h13 shown in FIG. 1 are displayed side by side, and the left-side hold icons become older hold icons.

  In FIG. 25A, three hold icons h11 to h13 of FIG. 1 are displayed, and all of the three hold icons h11 to h13 of FIG. It is displayed in a pattern and white display mode). That is, the default hold icon in FIG. 1 is a round hold icon.

  On the other hand, the hold icon representing the hold in FIG. 2 is not displayed. As described above, since the control state (game state) shown in FIG. 25 is a non-electric support state (non-time-short state), it is difficult for the electric chew to open and it is difficult to win the second special figure start port 2320. It is because it is in a state.

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol variation display is started in the order of variation start in the special symbol display device → starting blinking or extinguishing of the fourth symbol → starting or deleting the moving animation of the hold icon → decorating decorative symbol variation. However, this order may be reversed.

  In FIG.25 (b), the fluctuation | variation display of special figure 1 is started and the symbol fluctuation | variation in the 1st special figure display apparatus 212 is started. And the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 4th design t1 is started, and one hold icon is deleted. Subsequently, the decorative symbol variation display is started.

  FIG. 25 (c) shows a state during the variable display of FIG. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6D, “decoration 3” is stopped and displayed as the first stop symbol in the left symbol display area 208a, and subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4E, the right symbol display area 208c. “Decoration 8” is stopped and displayed as the second stop symbol, and subsequently, “decoration 2” is stopped and displayed as the third stop symbol in the middle symbol display area 208b, as shown in FIG. The design fluctuates and fluctuates.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 25 (g), when the fluctuation period elapses, the first special figure display device 212 stops and displays “special figure J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, a symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decoration symbol display device 208 ends the fluctuation variation of the ornament symbol, and the ornament symbol becomes “decoration 3-decoration 2”. The display is stopped with “Decoration 8”, and the 4th symbol t1 of the special figure 1 is stopped with the symbol “x” indicating that it is lost.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25 (h), the variable display of the special figure 1 is started in the manner shown in FIG. 25 (b) to FIG. 25 (c).

  Thereafter, the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of the left symbol display area 208a, the right symbol display area 208c, and the middle symbol display area 208b, and as shown in FIG. The special symbol A, which is the jackpot display result, is stopped and displayed, and the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at the chance of “decoration 2-decoration 3-decoration 4”. The chances are not limited to those described above, and various combinations of decorative designs can be employed. Further, the display may be stopped by a combination of the decorative symbols of the losing pattern instead of the chance. The special symbol 1 and the fourth symbol t1 are stopped and displayed with the symbol "A" indicating that the "special symbol A" has been stopped. As described above, when “Special Figure A” is stopped and displayed as a big hit in the normal figure low probability state, the big hit effect is not performed. For this reason, the player may not be aware of the big hit. This is also true when “Special Figure C”, “Special Figure D”, “Special Figure E”, “Special Figure G”, and “Special Figure H” are stopped and a big hit is caused in the low probability state. It is the same.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram showing the continuation of the example of the effect shown in FIG. 25 in stages.

  FIG. 26 (j) continuing from FIG. 25 (i) shows a state in which the big hit game is started. In FIG. 26 (j), the opening timings of the special electric accessory 234 and the pseudo attacker 235 are shown in time series. Here, the vertical line (dotted line) represents the time axis T, and the arrow (dotted line) extending laterally from the time axis T conceptually indicates the timing of opening or closing of the special electric accessory 234 and the pseudo attacker 235. It represents. As shown in FIG. 26 (j), when the big hit game is started, the first round is ended after 180 ms has elapsed since the special electric accessory 234 is opened. On the other hand, the pseudo-attacker 235 is opened for a predetermined time after the special electric accessory 234 is opened (for example, after 500 ms has elapsed since the special electric accessory 234 is opened). It will be closed after (for example, 180 ms).

  Subsequently, when the special electric accessory 234 is closed and the 500 ms round interval ends, the second round starts. When the second round starts, the special electric accessory 234 is opened again, and when 180 ms elapses, the special electric accessory 234 is closed and the second round ends. On the other hand, similarly to the first round, the pseudo attacker 235 also opens after a special delay after the special electric accessory 234 is opened, and is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed. In the present embodiment, even if the pseudo attacker 235 is released in the left-handed state, the player may not notice easily. Therefore, the pseudo attacker 235 may not be released in the big hit game at the first big hit. .

  Then, as shown in FIG. 26 (k), after the big hit is completed, as shown in FIG. 25 (l), as shown in FIG. 25 (b) to FIG. The change display of is started.

  Thereafter, the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c, and as shown in FIG. 26 (m), the reach state by “decoration 3” is formed in the decorative symbol display device 208. Reach production begins.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 26 (n), in the decorative symbol display device 208, the effect of SP reach A in which the old character appears is performed.

  Thereafter, “decoration 3” is also stopped and displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b, and after the fluctuation fluctuation has occurred, when the fluctuation period has elapsed, as shown in FIG. The display is stopped at “Special Figure B”, which is the display result of the 2nd round probable big hit, and the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at the “Erotic 3-Decoration 3-Decoration 3” double eye. The special symbol 1 and the fourth symbol t1 are stopped and displayed with the symbol “B” indicating that the “special symbol B” is stopped and displayed. As described above, when “Special Figure B” is displayed as a big hit in the low-probability state, the player is informed of the big hit by displaying the decorative symbol with a flat eye. To do. The same applies to the case where “Special Figure F” is stopped and a big hit is made in the normal-probability state. In addition, when “Special Figure I” is stopped and displayed as a big hit in the low-probability state, the decorative design may be displayed with a stoppage with a flat eye, or may be displayed with a stop at the above-mentioned chance. Also good.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the continuation of the example of the effect shown in FIG. 26 in stages.

  FIG. 27 (p) continuing from FIG. 26 (o) shows a state in which the big hit game is started. In FIGS. 27 (p) to 28 (y), the opening timing of the special electric accessory 234 and the pseudo attacker 235 is shown in time series. When the big hit game is started and a big hit start command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400, as shown in FIG. 27 (p), the big hit effect is started in the decorative symbol display device 208. . At this time, on the decorative symbol display device 208, a display for urging to the right is performed, the rush mode is entered, and a notification that the bonus during rushing is started is informed. In addition, when it is a big hit in “Special Figure I”, it is notified that a rush challenge is started, which asks whether or not to shift to the rush mode, instead of the big hit effect. When the first round is started, the special electric accessory 234 is opened, and when 180 ms elapses, the special electric accessory 234 is closed and the first round is completed. On the other hand, the pseudo attacker 235 is opened after a short delay from the time when the special electric accessory 234 is opened, and is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  Subsequently, when the special electric accessory 234 is closed and the 500 ms round interval ends, the second round starts. When the second round starts, the special electric accessory 234 is opened again, and when 180 ms elapses, the special electric accessory 234 is closed and the second round ends. On the other hand, similarly to the first round, the pseudo attacker 235 also opens after a special delay after the special electric accessory 234 is opened, and is closed after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 27 (q), the big hit game ends, but after the big hit game ends, the ordinary high probability 2 state and the electric support state is given, so in the decorative symbol display device 208, Even after the big hit game is over, the big hit effect continues. This jackpot effect continues until the end of the jackpot game where the normal high probability 2 state will end. In FIGS. 27 (q) to 28 (y), the opening timings of the ordinary electric accessory 232 and the pseudo electric chew 252 are shown in time series together with the special electric accessory 234 and the pseudo attacker 235. In addition, the pseudo attacker 235 continuously repeats the opening / closing operation in the above-described manner even after the big hit game ends. Thereby, it may be possible to make the player recognize that it is a chance to acquire a lot of balls. Note that the pseudo attacker 235 may perform an opening / closing operation only during the big hit game. Further, in the present embodiment, the opening / closing mode of the pseudo attacker 235 is the same as that of the special electric accessory 234, but the opening / closing mode of the pseudo attacker 235 may be different from that of the special electric role 234. Further, the pseudo attacker 235 may perform an opening / closing operation triggered by the transmission of the special figure change start command from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, or from the main control unit 300 to the first The opening / closing operation may be performed in response to the transmission of a special figure change start command indicating the start of the special figure change display which is a big hit to the sub-control unit 400. The pseudo-attacker 235 moves to the normal high probability 2 state, and after the first special figure change start command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400, the next big hit start command is the main control. Until it is transmitted from the unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, the opening / closing operation may be repeated. Further, the pseudo attacker 235 may perform an opening / closing operation in response to the transmission of the common map change start command from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400.

  If the player makes a right turn in accordance with the display for prompting the right turn on the decorative symbol display device 208, the launched game ball may pass through the normal start gate 253. When the game ball passes through the usual-time start gate 253, whether or not the usual-day is true is determined. As described above, in the normal map high probability 2 state, the hit determination of the normal map is selected with a probability of 100%, and as a result of the fluctuation display of the normal map, the “general map B” has a probability of 100%. Configured to be selected. Then, when a common map change start command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400, as shown in FIG. . In the decorative symbol display device 208, the big hit effect is continued. In addition, after the big hit game is finished, the number of prize balls won in the rush bonus is displayed in the lower right corner of the decorative symbol display device 208. This prize ball number display increases as the game ball passes through the second special figure starting port 2320. In this embodiment, every time a game ball passes through the second special figure starting port 2320, the number of prize balls is increased by eight. When a predetermined time (for example, 600 ms) elapses from the start of the variable display of the normal map on the general map display device 210, the pseudo electric Chu 252 is opened. For example, the pseudo electric chew 252 is in a closed state when a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) has elapsed since the pseudo electric chew 252 is in an open state. It should be noted that with respect to the display of the number of prize balls, the increasing number and the number of prize balls actually obtained may not completely match. For example, each time a game ball passes through the second special figure starting port 2320, the prize ball You may make it the numerical value of a number display increase by ten.

  Thereafter, when the usual fluctuation period elapses, as shown in FIG. 27 (s), “usual figure B” is stopped and displayed on the ordinary figure display device 210. Then, the ordinary electric accessory 232 is in the open state, and the game ball is in a state where it is easy to win the second special figure starting port 2320. At this time, the pseudo electric Chu 252 is in a closed state. As described above, the ordinary electric accessory 232 is hit in the “common figure B”, and therefore, is opened for a maximum of 5.8 seconds. Also, if 10 game balls win the second special figure starting port 2320 before 5.8 seconds have passed, the ordinary electric accessory 232 will be closed from the open state without waiting for 5.8 seconds to pass. It becomes. At the timing shown in FIG. 27 (s), since one game ball has been won at the second special figure starting port 2320, 8 indicating that eight winning balls have been acquired is displayed as a prize ball number display. Has been. When a predetermined time (for example, 500 ms) elapses after the ordinary electric accessory 232 is opened, the pseudo electric chew 252 is opened. That is, the pseudo electric Chu 252 is configured to be opened at a timing when 500 ms has elapsed after being once closed. Thereby, the game ball won in the second special figure starting port 2320 is in a state where it can be received. According to the present embodiment, the pseudo electric Chu 252 is in an open state at a timing after the ordinary electric accessory 232 is in an open state, so that it is easier to accept a game ball won in the second special figure starting port 2320. You may be able to. Further, in terms of opening / closing control of the pseudo electric chew 252, the pseudo electric chew 252 to which the prize ball is not paid out first is opened before the ordinary electric accessory 232 from which the prize ball is paid out. Since the open / close operation is repeatedly performed in the electric support state, 232 may be able to play a role as if the pseudo electric chew 252 is an ordinary electric accessory that generates a prize ball. As a result, the pseudo electric Chu 252 and the payout operation of the prize ball may be linked in appearance. Note that the opening / closing timing of the pseudo electric Chu 252 can be appropriately set in consideration of the panel configuration, such as the positional relationship with the second special figure starting port 2320. Further, the pseudo attacker 235 may be opened and closed in conjunction with or without being linked with the opening / closing operation of the pseudo electric chew 252. In addition, the pseudo attacker 235 is closed during the period when the pseudo electric chew 252 is open, and the pseudo electric chew 252 is closed during the period when the pseudo attacker 235 is open. For example, the pseudo electric chew 252 and the pseudo attacker 235 may be alternately opened. In this embodiment, the pseudo electric Chu 252 is opened / closed only in the normal high probability 2 state. However, the pseudo electric Chu 252 is opened / closed in the normal high probability 1 state. You may make it let. Further, in the present embodiment, the opening / closing operation of the pseudo electric Chu 252 is repeatedly performed from the transmission of the general map change start command until the next general map change start command is transmitted. Is transmitted, the new pseudo electric chew 252 is started to open / close, but in one open / close operation of the pseudo electric chew 252, it is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (for example, twice). It may be.

  When the game ball wins the second special figure starting port 2320, whether or not the special figure 2 is determined is determined, and the second special figure display device 214 changes the special figure 2 as shown in FIG. Display has started. At this time, the decorative symbol display device 208 does not perform the variable display of the decorative symbol, and only performs the variable display of the special symbol 2 and the fourth symbol t2. In addition, the jackpot production continues. Thereby, it may be difficult for the player to notice that the variation display of FIG. 2 is being performed, and it may be recognized that the big hit game is being continued. The decorative symbol may be displayed in a variable manner. In this case, for example, the decorative symbol may be displayed smaller than the decorative symbol displayed during the period when the big hit effect is not performed. You may make it change the display mode of a decoration symbol by the period when it is broken and the period when the big hit effect is not performed.

  FIG. 27 (t) shows a state in which two game balls are further won in the second special figure starting port 2320 during the fluctuation display of the special figure 2, and two fluctuation displays of the special figure 2 are held. ing. In the decorative symbol display device 208, since three game balls have won the second special figure starting port 2320, 24 is displayed as the award ball number display. The jackpot production continues. In this embodiment, since the floating game of the usual figure is repeatedly performed independently from the floating game of the special figure, the appearance of the ball by the floating game of the usual figure is repeatedly performed during the fluctuation display of the special figure. It becomes.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram showing the continuation of the example of the effect shown in FIG. 27 in stages.

  In FIG. 28 (u) continuing from FIG. 27 (t), the “Special Figure J”, which is the display result of the loss, stops on the second special figure display device 214 after the fluctuation period in which the fluctuation display of Special Figure 2 is performed has elapsed. The displayed state is shown. At this time, a symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays a symbol “x” indicating that it is lost as the special symbol 2 and the 4 symbol t2. Press to stop display. In addition, the decorative symbol display device 208 performs an effect asking whether or not the bonus during rush is ended, so that the player has a sense of expectation for continuing the bonus during rush. Also, at the timing shown in FIG. 27 (u), since 100 game balls have been won at the second special figure starting port 2320 after the bonus during rush, 800 is displayed as the award ball number display. . As described above, during the big hit game, the normal game state is a normal low probability state.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 28 (v), the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 is started, and the symbol fluctuation display on the second special figure display device 214 is started. And the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 4th pattern t2 is also started. It should be noted that 60 seconds is selected as the variation period of the variation display of the special figure 2 this time, and the second special figure display device 214 performs the symbol variation display of 60 seconds. At this time, “decoration bonus” is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208, and it is informed that it is possible to acquire a ball by the ordinary electric accessory 232 for 60 seconds. At this time, 101 game balls have won the second special figure starting port 2320, and the number of award balls displayed is 808.

  Thereafter, when the fluctuation period (60 seconds) of the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 elapses, as shown in FIG. 28 (w), the second special figure display device 214 displays the result of the two round probability variation big hit “Special figure”. The display is stopped at "A", and at the second symbol t2 in the special figure 2, the special symbol "A" indicating that the "Special figure A" has been stopped is displayed. As described above, when “Special Figure A” is stopped and displayed as a big hit in the normal figure high probability state, after the big hit game ends, the normal figure high probability 1 state is entered. For this reason, the number of balls that can be obtained by the ordinary electric accessory 232 is substantially the same as the number of game balls that have been launched, and the ball is in a state of maintaining the current state. For this reason, the decorative symbol display device 208 is switched to the effect that the big hit has been completed from the big hit effect that has been performed so far, together with the character display of “bonus bonus end”. In addition, when the “big hit” display without the “bonus bonus” is displayed, for example, a “big hit end” character display for notifying that the bonus during rushing has ended is performed. In addition, at the timing shown in FIG. 28 (w), 111 game balls have won the second special figure starting port 2320, and the number of award balls displayed is 888. The same applies to the case where “Special Figure D” is stopped and a big hit is made in the normal figure high probability 2 state. In addition, when “Special Figure B”, “Special Figure C”, “Special Figure E”, “Special Figure F”, and “Special Figure I” are stopped and a big hit occurs in the normal figure high probability 2 state Instead of the character display of “End of bonus bonus” or “End of jackpot”, for example, the character display of “Continue jackpot” is displayed to notify that the jackpot continues. In this embodiment, the winning ball number display is a display included in the jackpot effect, and is displayed only during the jackpot effect (that is, during the rush bonus), and is not displayed except during the jackpot effect. It may be displayed during the mode. Also, for example, on condition that the rush mode is continued, the number of prize balls displayed when the bonus during rush is ended may be carried over until the next bonus during rush, For example, the award ball number display displayed as 888 when the bonus during rush is ended may be displayed as 888 as the award ball number display at the start of the next bonus during rush.

  In addition, in the normal high probability 2 state, when “Special Figure G” is stopped and a big hit is made, a fall effect is performed when the big hit game is started, and the rush mode ends and the normal mode is entered. Is notified. This falling effect continues after the big hit game is over until the first special figure variation display is finished. Also, in the normal high probability 2 state, when “Special Figure H” is stopped and a big hit is made, the final chance effect is performed when the big hit game is started, and the symbol variation display is performed 10 times. When it is not a big hit, it notifies that it shifts to the normal mode. This final chance effect is continued after the end of the jackpot game until the tenth special figure change display ends without a big hit. Even when “Special Figure G” or “Special Figure H” stops and is a big hit in the normal figure high probability 1 state, the same effect as described above is performed.

  Thereafter, when the big hit game is finished, as shown in FIG. 28 (x), the decorative symbol display device 208 displays the combination of the decorative symbols displayed at the first big hit, “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3”. After that, as shown in FIG. 25 (y), the variation display of the special figure 2 is started in the manner shown in FIG. 25 (b) to FIG. 25 (c). The hold icon displayed here is not the hold icon related to the hold in FIG. 1 but the hold icon related to the hold in FIG. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 208, three hold icons h21 to h23 are displayed in correspondence with three variable displays of the special figure 2 being held. The hold icons h21 to h23 of the special figure 2 are displayed side by side, and the left hold icon becomes the hold icon with the older winning. In FIG. 28 (y), the three hold icons h21 to h23 of the special figure 2 are displayed, and all of the three hold icons h21 to h23 of the special figure 2 are displayed in the default display mode (the circular non-display). It is displayed in a pattern and white display mode). That is, the default hold icon in the special figure 2 is the same as the default hold icon in the special figure 1 and has a round shape. Note that the default display mode of the hold icon in FIG. 2 is, for example, a square patternless and white display mode, etc., and the display mode (in this case, shape) is different from the hold icon in FIG. You may make it distinguish only by glance.

  Further, when the big hit game is finished and the normal high probability 1 state is entered, the opening operation of the pseudo electric chew 252 and the pseudo attacker 235 is not performed. Thereby, the player may be able to recognize that it is in a state in which it is not possible to expect a lot of balls by the ordinary electric accessory 232. In addition, after the big hit game with the special figure A is finished, for example, as shown in FIG. Also good. Further, in this embodiment, when the big hit with special figure A in the normal figure high probability state, the big hit effect is ended, but the big hit effect may be continued until the normal figure low probability state is shifted. . Further, during the big hit game, the special symbol 2 prefetch result storage unit stores, for example, “Special B”, “Special C”, “Special E”, “Special F”, “Special”. If any of "Figure I" is included (that is, if the jackpot symbol will be shifted to the normal high probability 2 state), do not end the jackpot effect and at least the next jackpot You may make it continue until a game is started. In addition, even when a reservation game is held with a jackpot symbol that will shift to the normal figure high probability 1 state, the jackpot effect may be continued at least until the next jackpot game is started.

  In this embodiment, in the normal figure high probability 2 state, the decorative symbols are not displayed in a variable state, and in the normal figure high probability 1 state, the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable state. Even in one state, the decorative symbols may not be displayed in a variable manner. That is, the decorative symbol variation display may be performed only in the normal figure low probability state and not in the normal figure high probability state.

  Further, in this embodiment, the combination display result of the decorative symbol is displayed as the game state when the special symbol variable display is performed, the type of the special symbol stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol display device 208. You may make it determine according to the content.
