Description

  The present invention makes a determination as to whether or not a ball hits a starting port, and allows the player to execute a big hit game by entering a specific area at the time of the small hit (hereinafter also referred to as a ball game machine). ).

  For conventional ball game machines, whether or not there is a special symbol change due to the game ball entering the start opening is determined, and if the determination result is a big hit, the big winning opening is opened for a long time. There is a game that has a “first type” game for executing a big hit game, and is capable of executing an open extension game that extends the open time of the ordinary electric accessory that opens and closes the start port after the big hit game is completed.

Also, for other ball game machines, if the determination result of the “first type” game and the special symbol is a small hit, a big winning opening with a V zone (specific area) is opened for a short time. There is a “mixer” that combines a “second type” game with a small hit game and a big hit game by entering the V zone.
Particularly in recent years, mixers centering on “first type” game play have been well received (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In the above-mentioned mixing machine centering on the “type 1” game, when a game ball is won at the start opening corresponding to the first special symbol during normal gaming, a determination is made and the first special symbol is displayed as confirmed. A game that aims for a big hit (per symbol) of the game.
As a result of the determination of success / failure, it is determined that the game is a big hit, and after the executed big hit game is completed, the opening extension function is activated, so that the ordinary electric accessory is released, and it is possible to win a start opening corresponding to the second special symbol. . The above-mentioned mixer has a high probability of being determined as a small hit by winning at the start opening corresponding to the second special symbol, or only a win at the start opening corresponding to the second special symbol is determined as a small hit. Some are set to be.

  On the other hand, there is a ball game machine having a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed simultaneously (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  In the above-described bullet ball game machine, the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed by changing the first special symbol and the second special symbol at the same time as compared with the configuration in which only one of the special symbols is changed. A game can be played with the expectation which of which is confirmed and displayed with the big hit symbol.

  The above-described game playability and simultaneous playability of the mixing machine exhibit characteristic playability, but there has been no ball game machine that combines these playability. In addition, when the above two game characteristics are combined, the “second type” game characteristics are provided, which corresponds to an irregular timing such as whether or not the big hit game is determined determined by the behavior of the game ball. Therefore, it has been difficult to implement a ball game machine that combines the above two game characteristics.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine that can exhibit new game characteristics by combining the two game characteristics described above.

  The bullet ball game machine according to claim 1 of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, has a regular figure start port that triggers a lottery of a normal symbol when the game ball passes, and a game ball that is always entered. A first start opening that allows a ball, a normal electric accessory that opens according to the result of drawing the normal symbol, a second start opening that allows a game ball to enter when the normal electric accessory is released, Determining means for determining whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting port, and determining whether or not the first starting point is determined. A special symbol display control means for determining whether or not the game ball is won based on the entry of the game ball, and includes a special symbol display control means. The special symbol display control means is based on the first special figure success / failure determination means. Based on the result of the pass / fail judgment, can the first special symbol be displayed in a variable manner during the set variable time? The first special symbol display control means for confirming the display and the second special symbol based on the result of the success / failure determination by the second special symbol success / failure determination means, the second special symbol is changed for a set variation time, and then the fixed special display is performed. Two special symbol display control means, a game area in which the launched game ball flows down, a first game area in which a game ball launched at a predetermined firing strength flows down, and the predetermined firing strength or higher A second game area in which the game ball launched in step S3 flows down, and the first start port is arranged to allow the game ball flowing down the first game area to enter, 2. The starting opening is arranged so that a game ball that has flowed down the second gaming area can enter, and if the special figure determination unit determines that it is a big hit, a big hit is made with the first special symbol or the second special symbol. The displayed pattern is confirmed and The first big hit game that starts the big hit game that opens and closes the mouth, and when the special figure winning / failing determining means determines that the big hit is determined, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined based on the symbol indicating the small hit Display and start a small hit game that opens and closes the big winning opening or the small winning big winning opening, and in the small hit game, the game is played to a specific area provided in the large winning opening or the small winning big winning opening The second big hit game that starts the big hit game when the ball enters the ball can be executed, and the game state after the big hit game is ended, the release state of the normal electric accessory is longer than the normal open time. In the ball and ball game machine provided with the open extension means capable of shifting to the open extension state, which is time, the first special symbol display control means or the second special symbol display control means is configured to be capable of varying at the same time. Illustration judgment If the other side is performing a fluctuation display in which the other is a big hit at the time of the determination, the special symbol display control means performs only the determination of whether or not it is determined to be a small hit. When one special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the symbol indicating the big hit or the symbol indicating the small hit, the variation stop processing is performed to end the fluctuation with the symbol indicating the loss even if the other special symbol is determined to be the big hit or the small hit. It is characterized by providing.

The determination of success / failure based on the game ball to the first start port may be obtained by acquiring a random number at the time of winning the start port and using the random number to determine the success / failure. It is conceivable that the random number has a hold storage function for storing a predetermined number. In this way, even if the first special symbol is fluctuating, even if the launch is continued and the first starting port is awarded, it will not be a useless prize if it can be reserved and stored.
A random number may be acquired at the time of winning the second start opening, and the random number may be provided with a hold storage function for storing a predetermined number, or may be configured without. Since the game configuration of the present invention is a so-called mixer, if there is a reserved memory corresponding to the second start port, a small hit game caused by entering the second start port occurs even after the open extended state ends. However, since the game configuration is difficult to understand that the advantageous state is not necessarily ended at the point where the extended extended state ends, a clear game configuration can be obtained by not providing the holding memory function.
On the other hand, by providing the hold storage function, it is possible to create a new advantageous state as described above.
It is considered that the winning rate for a specific area in the small hit game in the configuration in which the symbol indicating the small hit in the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined and displayed may be different between the first special symbol and the second special symbol. It is done. In the first special symbol, where a situation that is not an open extension state is assumed, the main aim is to be determined to be a big hit by the determination of success / failure, and starting the second big hit game from the small hit is a sub-type. Therefore, the main goal is to aim for the second big hit game in a situation where the win rate is low and the game is in the open extended state. Therefore, it is conceivable to increase the win rate in the specific area.
Further, it is conceivable that the winning probability of the small hit in the configuration in which the symbol indicating the small hit in the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined and displayed is different between the first special symbol and the second special symbol. As described above, when the determination of success / failure in the first special symbol is not the main open extension state, the probability of being determined as a small hit is set low because the small hit game is secondary. When the open / extended state, in which the determination of whether or not two special symbols are main, is set to a high probability, it is possible to quickly start the second big hit game by setting the probability of being determined as a small hit.
Also, in the case of a configuration that interrupts the measurement of the variation time of a special symbol, during the suspension, it may be possible to maintain the variation state to indicate that the symbol is not confirmed, and the variation time is measured. It is also possible to erase the design because it is not. The above-described content not only supplements the content described in claim 1 but also supplements the content described in claim 2.

  The bullet ball game machine according to claim 2 of the present invention has a normal start port that triggers a lottery of normal symbols by passing the game ball, a first start port in which the game ball can always enter, A normal electric combination that is opened according to the lottery result of the normal symbol, a second starting port through which a game ball can enter when the normal electric combination is opened, and a special figure determination unit. The figure win / fail determining means includes a first special figure hit / no go determining means for determining whether or not the game ball has entered the first start opening, and whether or not the game has been determined based on the game ball entering the second start opening. And a special symbol display control unit, and the special symbol display control unit includes a first special symbol display determination unit based on a result of the determination of the success / failure by the first special symbol determination unit. First special symbol display that displays the fixed symbol after the variable symbol is displayed for the set variation time. And a second special symbol display control means for making a fixed display after a variable display is made for a set variation time based on the result of the determination of whether the second special symbol is determined by the second special symbol determination means; A first game area in which a game ball that has been launched at a predetermined firing strength flows down, and a game ball that has been launched at or above the predetermined launch intensity flows into a game area in which the launched game ball flows down A second game area is provided, and the first start opening is arranged to allow a game ball flowing down the first game area to enter, and the normal start opening and the second start opening are the second game opening. When the game ball that has flowed down the area is arranged to be able to enter and is determined to be a big hit by the special figure success / failure determining means, the game is confirmed and displayed with a symbol indicating a big hit in the first special symbol or the second special symbol, A big hit game that opens and closes the prize opening When the first big hit game to be started and the second special figure winning / failing determining means are determined to be a small hit, the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed with a symbol indicating a small hit, and the big winning opening or the big hit A small hit game that opens and closes a winning opening is started, and a big hit game is started by entering a specific area provided in the large winning opening or the small winning large winning opening in the small winning game. The second jackpot game can be executed and the game state after the jackpot game is ended can be transferred to an open extension state in which the open state of the normal electric accessory is an open time longer than a normal open time. In the ball game machine provided with the means, the first special symbol display control means or the second special symbol display control means is configured to be capable of simultaneously varying, and the second special symbol success / failure determination means performs the validity determination. Sometimes the first special symbol is large In the case of performing a fluctuation display for winning, only a determination as to whether or not it is determined as a small hit is made, and the special symbol display control means at least the second special symbol wins the big hit during simultaneous fluctuation. When the symbol is displayed with the symbol or the symbol indicating the small hit, the first special symbol is provided with a variation stop process for ending the variation with the symbol indicating the loss even if the symbol is determined to be a big hit.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the ball game machine according to the first or second aspect, wherein the second game area has the large winning opening arranged downstream of the normal electric accessory, The ordinary electric accessory includes an opening / closing means for switching between an open state and a non-open state. When the ordinary electric accessory is in an open state, the game ball that has flowed down is guided to the second starting port, When the ordinary electric accessory is in a non-open state, the opening / closing means is configured as a part of a guide path for guiding to the special winning opening.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the ordinary electric combination by moving a slide plate, which is provided on the surface of the game board so as to be able to advance and retreat, into the board or projecting on the board at a position above the entrance area. It is preferable to create an open state or a non-open state of an object. When the slide plate is protruding (non-open state), it is preferable to provide for guiding the game ball in contact with the slide plate to flow down to the big prize opening according to the shape and angle of the slide plate. is there. It is preferable to lengthen the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory as much as possible and shorten the period during which the ordinary electric accessory is closed.
Moreover, it is preferable that the path from the usual opening to the ordinary electric accessory is formed by a path formed with a width that does not allow game balls to pass one by one.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the ball game machine may be configured to include a plurality of types of normal symbol hit games that open the normal electric accessory. Only a game ball that has entered the normal start opening, passed through it, and did not enter the ordinary electric accessory can enter the grand prize opening.
For example, the hit game is a hit game start period until the normal electric actor starts to be opened, an open period of the normal electric actor, or a period until the hit game ends after the release of the normal electric actor is completed. It consists of a game end period. The plurality of types of winning games may be configured by different periods from the above-described winning game start period, release period, or winning game end period. Also, a plurality of types of winning games may be different from each other by combining a plurality of types of periods.
By providing the above-described multiple types of winning games, even if the result of the determination of success / failure caused by entering the ball from the ordinary electric accessory to the second starting port is determined to be a small hit and the big winning opening is opened, the gaming ball Because it enters the normal electric game and does not enter the big prize opening, the second big hit game does not occur, the open extended state that will aim for the first big hit game, the first symbol game of the normal design, Even if the game ball passes through the normal start opening, the normal symbol lottery is not performed, and the game ball can reach the big winning opening as it is, and it becomes possible to aim for the first big hit game and the second big hit game. An open extended state can be realized.

The ball game machine having the above-described configuration has a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed at the same time. This is to realize an open extended state aiming at the first jackpot game and the second jackpot game. This is because, in the case of a configuration in which only one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed, a problem may occur when the game shifts to the open extended state after the big hit game ends.
That is, when transitioning to the first open extended state after the end of the big hit game, the reserved memory corresponding to the first special symbol is stored, but when the reserved memory corresponding to the second special symbol is not stored, Before the 2 special symbols start to change, the first special symbol will start to change. If this happens, the normal special character will be released after passing through the general opening, and the second special symbol will not start changing even if a game ball enters the second starting opening. After passing the normal starting port, the normal electric accessory is released, and when a game ball enters the second starting port, the second special symbol starts to change, the symbol is confirmed and displayed, and the grand prize opening is opened.

The player is not determined to be a big hit, so the player will not be confused. The winner determination means determines whether or not it is determined to be a small hit when performing a variable display in which the other is a big hit when one of the winners is determined, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined. If one special symbol is confirmed and displayed with a symbol indicating a big hit or a symbol indicating a small hit, the symbol will be forcibly displayed with a symbol indicating a loss. The situation can be avoided.

    According to the bullet ball game machine of the second aspect, the first special symbol display control means and the second special symbol display control means can be changed at the same time. The player is not determined to be a big hit, so the player will not be confused. The hit determination means determines whether or not the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit if the first special symbol is a big hit at the time of the determination by the second hit determination means. When the symbol indicating the big hit, the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the symbol indicating the big hit or the symbol indicating the small hit, the other special symbol is forcibly displayed with the symbol indicating the loss. It is possible to avoid a situation where the hits overlap in both periods.

  According to the ball game machine of the third aspect, since the first special symbol display control means and the second special symbol display control means can be varied at the same time, the normal symbol, It is easy to make the operation timing of the ordinary electric accessory and the second special symbol constant to some extent.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 determines whether or not the first special symbol is correct due to the entry into the first start port 11 and determines whether or not the second special symbol is appropriate due to the entry into the second start port 102. The In this embodiment, the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is successful and the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful are performed at the same time. In response to the determination, whether or not the first special symbol display device 9, the second special symbol display device 10, and the effect symbol display device 6 are changed. Thereafter, the confirmed symbol of the first or second special symbol is displayed on the first or second special symbol display devices 9 and 10, and the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the first or second special symbol is confirmed and displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. To notify the result of the first or second special symbol determination.
When the determination result is a big hit, a bonus game (special game) in which the second consecutive winning opening 105 is opened in a predetermined manner advantageous for winning a prize ball by the action of the condition device is activated. Is executed.

  On the other hand, if the result of the determination on whether the first or second special symbol is successful is a small hit, a small hit game in which the first big winning opening 14 is opened is executed. At this time, when the game ball enters the specific area 104 of the first big winning opening 14, the condition device is activated, and thereby the accessory continuous operation device is activated to be promoted (shifted) to the big hit game. Has a basic configuration.

  After the big hit game is over, the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12 is extended (open extension function) and the average fluctuation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened according to the special symbol that is a big hit or small hit There is a possibility of shifting to short games (open extended games) when functions are granted.

FIG. 6 is a table showing the basic specifications of the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment.
The big hit probability is set to 1/200, and the small hit probability is set to 1/198 for the first special symbol and 1/100 for the second special symbol.
The time reduction rate is 50% for the first special symbol, and the time reduction rate is 72% for the second special symbol. The number of time reductions is set to 100 times (number of symbol variations) for both the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Has been.
Further, the number of winning balls by entering the first start port 11 and the second start port 102 is three. In addition, the number of winning balls for the other winning openings is 10, and the number of winning balls for the large winning opening 14 is 15. The prescribed number of winnings in the big winning opening 14 is ten. The probability per normal symbol is 1/300 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extended state (when the open extension function is not operated), and 1 / 1.101 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the open extended state (when the open extension function is operated). When the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extension state (when the open extension function is not activated), the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12 is 0.2 seconds once. In the open extended state (when the open extended function is activated), 3.0 seconds is one time.

In the short-time game state, the pachinko machine 50 makes a right turn, passes a normal symbol operation gate 17 and draws a normal symbol. In the normal symbol winning game, a game ball is won at the second start opening 102 that is frequently opened by the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 12 to change the second special symbol. In this case, as the time of the end effect of the normal symbol per game, the first end effect (hereinafter also referred to as the first end effect period) having a short effect time and the second end effect (hereinafter, referred to as the first end effect period) having a long effect time. The second game start period 102 and the first grand prize award are controlled by selecting and switching these according to the game situation, thereby controlling the game time of the normal symbol. 14 is controlled by controlling the game ball to enter the game, and the bonus game that is executed due to the jackpot symbol confirmed and displayed by the second special symbol, and the specific area 104 provided in the first jackpot 14 It is configured to fully enjoy any game with the jackpot game executed by winning a prize.
That is, in the first end effect, since the game time per normal symbol is shortened, it is difficult to enter the first big winning opening 14 although it is difficult to enter the second starting opening 102 although the second starting opening 102 is entered. The aim is that the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed as a symbol. On the other hand, in the second end effect, since the game time per normal symbol becomes long, it is possible to enter the first big winning opening 14, so that the player can aim to win the specific area 104.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment is configured such that the first special symbol and the second special symbol change simultaneously. Here, with reference to FIG. 7, the determination of success / failure of the other special symbol when one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit variation, a small hit variation, or a loss variation will be described. In FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), when one special symbol is a big hit variation, a small hit variation, or a loss variation, those that can be determined at the time of determining whether or not corresponding to the other special symbol are round. Items that cannot be determined are displayed as crosses.

First, with reference to FIG. 7A, the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful when the first special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation will be described. In FIG. 7A, even if the first special symbol is in the big hit fluctuation, the small hit fluctuation or the loss fluctuation, those that can be determined by the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is correct are displayed in circles and cannot be determined. Things are displayed in crosses.
When the first special symbol is in the process of losing, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is all round is displayed. It is possible. When the first special symbol is changing in small hits, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the determination of whether the second special symbol is successful is all displayed in circles. Judgment is possible. Although it is not determined whether or not it is a big hit, it is determined whether or not it is a small hit or lost.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7 (b), the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is successful when the second special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation will be described. In FIG. 7B, even if the second special symbol is in the big hit fluctuation, the small hit fluctuation or the loss fluctuation, those that can be determined by the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is correct are displayed in circles and cannot be determined. Things are displayed in crosses.
When the first special symbol is in the process of losing, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is all round is displayed, so it is determined whether it is big hit, small hit or lost. It is possible. When the second special symbol is changing in small hits, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), all the determinations of whether or not the first special symbol is successful are displayed in circles, so whether or not it is big hit, small hit or lost Judgment is possible. Although it is not determined whether or not it is a big hit, it is determined whether or not it is a small hit or lost.

7 (c) and 7 (d), when one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, a small hit symbol, or a big hit symbol. The control of the other special symbol during fluctuation will be described.
First, it demonstrates using FIG.7 (c). When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing second special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues. In addition, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted for the second special symbol in which the loss is changed. Then, when the small hit game executed based on the small hit symbol or the big hit game transferred to the specific area 104 during the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. When a predetermined fluctuation time is reached, it stops at a lost symbol.
In addition, when the first special symbol is fixedly displayed with the small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted for the second special symbol that is changing the small hit symbol. Then, when the small hit game executed based on the small hit symbol or the big hit game transferred to the specific area 104 during the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it stops at the small hit symbol.
When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the big hit variation is interrupted. Then, depending on whether or not the specific area 104 is won during the small hit game executed on the basis of the small hit symbol, the symbols to be stopped after the measurement of the variation time is resumed.
When winning in the specific area 104 during the small hit game, when the transferred big hit game (per bonus item) ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. Then, when a predetermined fluctuation time is reached, it stops at the lost symbol. On the other hand, if the specific area 104 is not won during the small hit game, the game does not shift to the big hit game, and when the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it will stop at the big hit symbol.
When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the second special symbol. Further, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the small hit variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined fluctuation time is reached, the small hit symbol stops at the second special symbol.

Next, description will be made with reference to FIG. When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing first special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues. In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted for the first special symbol that is in the process of changing the loss. Then, when the small hit game executed based on the small hit symbol or the big hit game transferred to the specific area 104 during the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. When a predetermined fluctuation time is reached, it stops at a lost symbol.
In addition, when the second special symbol is fixedly displayed with the small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted for the first special symbol that is changing the small hit symbol. Then, when the small hit game executed based on the small hit symbol or the big hit game transferred to the specific area 104 during the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it stops at the small hit symbol.
When the second special symbol is fixedly displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol during the big hit variation is interrupted. Then, depending on whether or not the specific area 104 is won during the small hit game executed on the basis of the small hit symbol, the symbols to be stopped after the measurement of the variation time is resumed.
When winning in the specific area 104 during the small hit game, when the transferred big hit game (per bonus item) ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. Then, when a predetermined fluctuation time is reached, it stops at the lost symbol. On the other hand, if the specific area 104 is not won during the small hit game, the game does not shift to the big hit game, and when the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it will stop at the big hit symbol.
When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the first special symbol. When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol during the small hit variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the small hit symbol stops at the first special symbol.

  The main routine will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S65 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S70 that is repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed within the remaining time after executing this main process. This is referred to as “residual processing”. The “main process” is periodically executed by the interrupt.

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

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial settings (for example, writing a predetermined value to the predetermined area of the memory and setting a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol to each initial to the work area of the memory Value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the remaining process (S70).

  If a positive determination is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), an initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the initial random number value by 1 each time this process is executed. The initial random number value before this process is incremented by +1, but the random number value before this process is executed is the maximum. When the value is “3966”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 3967 integers from “0” to “3966” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that is incremented by 1 each time the process is executed, similar to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is "3966", the next process starts. Is returned to “0”, and 3967 integers from “0” to “3966” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. Note that the initial value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 250, the big hit determination random number is updated as “250” “251” “252”... “3966” “0” “1”.

  When the big hit determination random number is updated once (3967 times), the initial random number value at that time is used as the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is +1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. Then, when the big hit determining random number makes one round again, the initial value random number at that time is changed to the initial value of the big hit determining random number. That is, this series of operations is repeated. In the above example, when the big hit determination random number reaches “249”, it is one round, so the next value after “249” is the value of the initial value random number. If the value of the initial random number is “87”, “249” “87” “88”... “3966” “0” “1”. Next to is a new initial random number value. The jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 100 integers from “0” to “99”. Each time this process is incremented by 1 and exceeds the maximum value, the initial value is “0”. Return to.

  The hit determination random number update process (S35) following S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers from “0” to “996”, and is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. Return to a certain “0”. The values to be won are 31 to 40 in the normal probability state and 31 to 996 in the high probability state. This winning determination random number update process is used for lottery of normal symbols, and other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, and fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are drawn special symbols. Used for.

  The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly generates 229 integers from “0” to “228”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and the initial value is “0”. Return to. In the normal probability state, the number of values that reach when the variable time reduction function is not activated is 21, and the values are “0” to “20”, and reach when the variable time reduction function is activated in the normal probability state. The number of values is 5, and the values are “0” to “4”.

  The variation pattern determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from “0” to “1020”, and is incremented by 1 for each process and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0".

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), confirmation of winning in the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 102 and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed.
In this embodiment, when the game ball wins the first start port 11 and the second start port 102, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. are acquired. However, the number that can be reserved is limited to 4 at each of the first start port 11 and the second start port 102, and when the reserved memory is full, the game balls are stored in the first start port 11 or the second start port 11. 2 Even if a winning is made at the start port 102, only a winning ball is paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored on hold.

  Subsequently, a success / failure determination process (S55) is performed as condition establishment determination means for determining whether or not a big hit. When this success / failure determination process (S55) is completed, a fraud monitoring process (S60) is subsequently executed.

  The subsequent fraud monitoring process (S60) is a process for monitoring whether or not fraud is performed on the normal winning award (the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, the right winning port 34). The process of determining whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number, and if so, is determined to be fraudulent and notifying that effect It is. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

  Subsequently, in each output process (S65), as the game progresses, the main control device 80 causes the production symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, and the first big prize opening solenoid. Output processing is executed for each of 14b and the like. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation process (S50) that there is a winning game ball in each winning slot on the game board 1, the winning ball data is output to the payout control device 81 so as to pay out the gaming ball as the winning ball. In the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sub-integrated control device 83, an error signal is output to the production symbol control device 82 to notify that there is an error when the pachinko machine 50 is abnormal. Each process is executed.

  The above-described remaining process following this process is composed of the initial value random number update process (S70), but is exactly the same process as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute this processing from S10 to S65 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the jackpot processing, the difference in the display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial random number is not uniform when the interrupt process shown in FIG. 8 is executed once. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the big hit determination random number becomes extremely small. If the value of the initial random number (3967 from 0 to 3966) when the big hit determination random number is made one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/3967. The hit determination random number update process (S35) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The game state of the pachinko machine 50 shifts to the open extended state after the big hit game that is executed when the symbol showing the big hit is confirmed and displayed in the special symbols (the first special symbol and the second special symbol). . In that case, since the winning of the normal symbol can be aimed, the game ball is fired from the left strike area L to the right strike area R.

The normal symbol success / failure determination processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13.
In FIG. 9, the main controller 80 confirms whether the ordinary electric accessory 12 for opening the second starting port 102 is in operation in the process of S100, and if not (S100: no), the process of S105 In step S110, it is confirmed whether or not the normal symbol is changing. If not (S105: no), it is checked in step S110 whether the fixed symbol of the normal symbol is displayed. If the ordinary electric accessory 12 is operating (S100: yes), the process proceeds to “ordinary symbol game processing” described later.

If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S110 (S110: no), it is determined in the process of S115 whether or not a game ball is detected by the normal symbol operation switch 17a, and if a game ball is detected (S115). : Yes), the process proceeds to S120. In the normal symbol random number extraction process (S120), various random numbers such as a random symbol for determining a normal symbol, a random number for determining a symbol, and a random number for determining a variation pattern are extracted. Note that the various random numbers extracted in S120 are the targets of the determination. In the present embodiment, a random number extracted even if it passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17 is acquired, but is not stored on hold. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration may be adopted in which a normal symbol reserved storage is stored.
Thereafter, the process proceeds to S125. If a game ball is not detected (S115: no), the process proceeds to a “normal symbol game process” described later.

  After the process of S120, in the process of S125, the probability variation flag is confirmed, and it is confirmed whether the current gaming state is in the probability variation of the normal symbol (high probability). If the probability change is in progress (S125: yes), whether or not it is determined in the process of S130 is performed using a high-probability determination table. If the probability change is not in progress (S125: no), whether or not it is determined based on a normal probability (low probability) determination table in S135 is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S150 of FIG.

  In the process of S150, it is confirmed whether or not the result of the determination in the process of S130 or S135 is a hit. Note that the normal probability of a normal symbol is 1/300, and the winning probability during probability change is 1 / 1.101 (see FIG. 6).

If it is a win in the process of S150 (S150: yes), a win symbol of the normal symbol is determined based on the random number for symbol determination in the process of S155, and a normal symbol hit is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern in the process of S160. Determine the variation pattern. If the process is a loss in the process of S150 (S150: no), the process proceeds to S170, a variation pattern of the loss is determined, and the process proceeds to S175.
After that, in the process of S165, the content of the normal symbol winning game (opening pattern of the electric utility item 12 (opening time, start effect (per game start period), end effect (per game end period), etc.)) is set. The process proceeds to S175.

Here, the normal symbol hit setting process (S165) will be described with reference to FIG.
The setting of the winning game end period by the normal symbol per set processing (S165) is set by the normal symbol per game content setting processing 1 shown in FIG. In S300 of FIG. 13, main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of changes in the special symbol has reached a predetermined number. In S300, whether or not the number of changes of the special symbol in the processing of S550 in FIG. 18 and S700 in FIG. 20 has reached a predetermined number set according to the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol that triggers the open extended state. Determine. If the predetermined number of times has been reached (S300: yes), the first end effect period is set (S305), and this process ends (returns). If the predetermined number of times has not been reached (S300: no), a second end effect period is set (S310), and the process returns.

  After the process of S165 or S170 described above, in the process of S175, a normal symbol change start command is sent to the normal symbol display device 7 and the sub-integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 6 are transmitted. Move to “Process”.

  Returning to FIG. In the process of S105 of FIG. 9, when the normal symbol is changing (S105: yes), the process proceeds to S200 of FIG. When the variation time of the normal symbol has elapsed in the process of S200 (S200: yes), to the confirmed symbol display of the normal symbol display device 7, the sub-integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 6 by the confirmed symbol display process of S205. Send a command to confirm and display normal symbols. If the variation time of the normal symbol has not elapsed (S200: no), the process directly proceeds to the normal symbol game process.

Returning to FIG. In the process of S110 of FIG. 9, when the normal symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is being displayed (S110: yes), the process proceeds to S250 of FIG.
In the process of S250, it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended (S250). When the display time of the fixed symbol is ended (S250: yes), the display of the fixed symbol is ended (S255), and in the process of S260, is the combination in which the normal symbol that is fixedly displayed is a winning combination? If the combination is a winning combination (S260: yes), in the normal symbol per game start process, the main control device 80 gives a hit start effect to the sub integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 6. A command is transmitted so as to start (S265), and the process proceeds to the normal symbol game process of FIG. In addition, when the display time of the fixed symbol has not ended (S250: no), or when the combination of the normal symbol that has been fixedly displayed is lost (S260: no), the process proceeds to the normal symbol game process as it is. To do.

The normal symbol game process will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the “ordinary symbol game process” shown in FIG. 14, first, in the process of S350, the main controller 80 confirms whether the ordinary electric accessory 12 is operating. If the ordinary electric accessory 12 is operating (S350: yes), it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 12 is open in the process of S355. If the ordinary electric accessory 12 is closed (S355: no), it is confirmed in the process of S360 whether the normal symbol end effect is being performed, and if it is not during the normal symbol end effect (S360: no), the process of S365 In the process, it is checked whether the start effect time per normal symbol has passed (S365). If the start effect time per normal symbol has passed (S365: yes), the normal electric accessory 12 is opened and the process returns in S370. To do. If the ordinary electric accessory 12 is not in operation in the process of S350 (S350: no), or if the start effect time per ordinary symbol has not elapsed (S365: no), the process returns as it is.

  When the ordinary electric accessory 12 is being opened in the process of S355 (S355: yes), the process proceeds to S400 in FIG. In the process of S400, it is determined whether or not ten game balls have entered the second start port 102 (S400). The number is not particularly limited to 10, and may be 8 or 9. When ten game balls have entered (S400: yes), the process proceeds to S415. If ten game balls have not entered the second starting port 102 (S400: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12 has ended (S410). If the determination is affirmative (S410: yes), the process proceeds to S415. In the process of S415, the ordinary electric accessory 12 is closed (S415). Thereafter, a normal symbol end effect process is executed in the process of S420, and the process returns. If the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12 has not ended (S410: no), the process returns as it is.

  Returning to FIG. If in the process of S360 of FIG. 14 a normal symbol end effect is being performed (S360: yes), the process proceeds to S450 of FIG. In the process of S450, it is confirmed whether or not the end effect time per normal symbol has elapsed. If it has elapsed (S450: yes), the process of transmitting an end command per normal symbol is executed in the process of S455, and this process A normal symbol end command is transmitted to the integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 6 to end the game per normal symbol and return. If the normal hit end effect time has not elapsed (S450: no), the process returns as it is.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 17 is a special symbol winning confirmation process for the first start port 11 or the second start port 102.
First, the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 11 based on the detection signal of the first start port switch 11a (S500). If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this embodiment) In step S505, it is determined whether the number is four.

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S505: no), the above random numbers are stored as the first reserved memory, and the lighting number of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S510). If there are already four first reserved memories (S505: yes), the process does not store, and the process proceeds to S515 without increasing the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18.

  If it is determined that no game ball has entered the first start port 11 (S500: no), the process also proceeds to S515, and the game ball is input to the second start port 102 based on the detection signal of the second start port switch 102a. It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. If the determination is affirmative (S515: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second reserved memory is full (this embodiment) In step S520, it is determined whether the number is four.

  If the second reserved memory is not full (S520: no), each random number is stored as the second reserved memory, and the number of lighting of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S525). If there are already four second hold memories (S520: yes), the second hold is not stored, and this process is terminated (returned) without increasing the number of lighting of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Moreover, this process is also complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 2nd starting port 102 (S515: no).

The special symbol success / failure determination process of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in the first special symbol success / failure determination process of FIG. 18, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory 106 is in operation (S550). If a negative determination is made in S550 (S550: no), the special symbol is not interrupted (S555: no), the special symbol is not changing (S560: no), and the confirmed symbol is not displayed (S565: no), The process proceeds to S600 in FIG. 19 and it is determined whether or not there is first hold storage (holding storage in S510 in FIG. 17 described above) (S600). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S550: yes), the process proceeds to the special game process.

  If there is this reserved memory (S600: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S605), and the process proceeds to S610. If there is no first hold memory (S600: no), the first special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the special game process.

In S610, main controller 80 determines whether or not the second special symbol is a big hit variation (S610). If it is not a big hit fluctuation (S610: no), the first reserved memory is decremented, and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S615). In this embodiment, the big hit probability is 1/200 (see FIG. 6).
In the process of S615, if it is determined that the game is a big hit (S615: yes), the big hit symbol is determined by the random number for determining the big hit symbol (S620). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S625). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number. After the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S6630). The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design, the gaming status after the jackpot (such as whether there is an extension of the opening) and information on the jackpot game (opening time of the jackpot, the opening pattern of the second jackpot 105, the ending time of the jackpot, Round number).

If it is determined in S610 that the second special symbol is changing the big hit (S610: yes), or the first reserved memory is decremented, the read big hit determination random number is checked against the win value, and it is not a big hit If it is determined (S615: no), it is determined whether or not a small hit (S635). This compares the extracted jackpot determination random number value with a table storing a predetermined small hit value. If it is determined to be a small hit (S635: yes), the small hit symbol is determined based on the symbol determining random number (S640). The small hit probability of the first special symbol is 1/198. Further, the small hit probability of the second special symbol is 1/100 (see FIG. 6). Thereafter, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S645), the small hit setting process (S650) is performed, and the process proceeds to S665.
The small hit setting process (S650) of this embodiment obtains information related to the small hit game (the opening time per small hit, the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14, the ending time per small hit), and subtracts the number of time reductions. It is processing to do.

  If it is determined in S635 that it is not a small hit (S635: no), in S655, a variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S655), a loss setting process is performed (S660), and the process proceeds to S665. In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions is positive, -1 is set.

  Subsequent to S630, S650, or S660, data indicating the above-described lottery result, specifically, data indicating the big hit, reach out (removed but with reach display), or out with no reach display and the variation time Is output to the sub integrated control device 83 (S665), and a special game process is performed.

  Returning to FIG. In FIG. 18, when the first special symbol is suspended (S555: yes), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG. Further, when the first special symbol is changing (S560: yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. Alternatively, when the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S565: yes), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG.

Next, the second special symbol success / failure determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
In the second special symbol success / failure determination process, main controller 80 determines whether or not special electric accessory 106 is operating (S700). If the determination in S700 is negative (S700: no), the special symbol is not interrupted (S705: no), the special symbol is not changing (S710: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S715: no) Then, the process proceeds to S750 in FIG. 21, and it is determined whether or not there is a second reserved memory (the above-described reserved memory in S525 in FIG. 17) (S750). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S700: yes), the process proceeds to the special game process.

  If there is this reserved memory (S750: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S755), and the process proceeds to S760. If there is no second reserved memory (S750: no), the second special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the special game process.

In S760, main controller 80 determines whether or not the first special symbol is a big hit variation (S760). If it is not a big hit fluctuation (S760: no), the second reserved memory is decremented, and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S765). In this embodiment, the big hit probability is 1/200.
In the process of S765, if it is determined that it is a big hit (S765: yes), the big hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S770). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S775). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number. After the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S780). The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design, the gaming status after the jackpot (such as whether there is an extension of the opening) and information on the jackpot game (opening time of the jackpot, the opening pattern of the second jackpot 105, the ending time of the jackpot, Round number).

If it is determined in S760 that the second special symbol is in a big hit variation (S760: yes), or the second reserved memory is decremented and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value, and it is not a big hit If it is determined (S765: no), it is determined whether or not a small hit (S785). This compares the extracted jackpot determination random number value with a table storing a predetermined small hit value. If it is determined to be a small hit (S785: yes), a small hit symbol is determined based on the symbol determining random number (S790). The small hit probability of the second special symbol is 1/100 (see FIG. 6). Thereafter, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S795), the small hit setting process (S800) is performed, and the process proceeds to S815.
The small hit setting process (S800) of this embodiment obtains information related to the small hit game (the opening time per small hit, the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14, the ending time per small hit), and subtracts the number of time reductions. It is processing to do.

  If it is determined in S785 that it is not a small hit (S785: no), in S805, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S805), the loss setting process is performed (S810), and the process proceeds to S815. In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions is positive, -1 is set.

  Subsequent to S780, S800, or S810, data indicating the above-described lottery result, specifically, data indicating a big hit, reach out (removed but with reach display), or out with no reach display and variation time Is output to the sub integrated control device 83 (S815), and special game processing is performed.

When it is determined in S555 of FIG. 18 that the first special symbol is suspended (S555: yes), or when it is determined that the second special symbol is suspended in S705 of FIG. (S705: yes), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG.
In S850, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the specific area 104 is won during the small hit game. If the special area 104 is won during the small hit game (S850: yes), it is determined whether or not the interrupted special symbol is a big hit (S855). If the determination is affirmative (S855: yes), the process proceeds to S860. In S860, main controller 80 changes the jackpot symbol determined in S620 of FIG. 19 or S770 of FIG. 21 to the lost symbol. After that, in S865, the content performed in the jackpot setting process in 630 in FIG. 19 or S780 in FIG. 21 is changed to the content performed in the loss setting process. And this process is complete | finished and it transfers to a special game process.
Further, when the special area 104 is not won during the small hit game (S850: no), or when the special symbol being interrupted is not a big hit (S855: no), the process proceeds to the special game process.

When it is determined that the first special symbol is changing (S560: yes) in S560 of FIG. 18 or when the second special symbol is determined to be changing (S710: yes) in S710 of FIG. 23, it is determined whether or not the symbol variation time (based on the variation pattern of S625, S645, S655, S780, S800, or S810) has elapsed. When the symbol variation time has elapsed (S900: yes), a fixed symbol display process is performed (S905), and the process proceeds to S910. In the fixed symbol display process, a command for displaying a fixed symbol (symbol fixed command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the fixed symbol. Let
Thereafter, in S910, it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is a jackpot symbol (S910). If it is a big hit symbol (S910: yes), the process proceeds to S915. If it is determined that the symbol is not a big hit symbol (S910: no), it is determined whether the symbol is a small hit symbol (S920). If it is a small hit symbol (S920: yes), the process proceeds to S915. In S915, the interruption flag is set to “1” (S915). Then, it shifts to special game processing.

  If the symbol variation time has not elapsed (S900: no), it is determined whether or not the interruption flag is set to “1” (S925). When the interruption flag is set to “1” (S925: yes), the measurement of the variation time of the other special symbol is interrupted (S930), and the process proceeds to the special game process. Further, when the confirmed symbol is not a small hit symbol (S920: no), or when the interruption flag is 0 (S925: no), the processing directly proceeds to the special game process.

When it is determined that the confirmed symbol is being displayed in S565 of FIG. 18 (S565: yes), or when it is determined that the confirmed symbol is being displayed in S715 of FIG. 20 (S715: yes), FIG. The process shifts to S950 to determine whether or not the display time of the fixed symbol has ended.
If the determination is affirmative (S950: yes), the display of the confirmed symbol is terminated (S955), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a symbol that is a big hit (S960). When an affirmative determination is made (S960: yes), it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1 (S965). If the hour / hour flag is 1 (S965: yes), the hour / hour flag is set to 0 in S970, and the process proceeds to S975. If the time reduction flag is not 1 (S965: no), the process proceeds to S975 as it is.

  In S975, the big hit flag is set to “1” by the conditional device operation start process. In subsequent S980, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in S985, a big hit game start process is performed. In the jackpot game start process, a command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, release pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  If it is determined in S960 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win, S960: no), it is determined whether the time flag is 1 (S990), and if it is 1, (S990: yes), It is determined whether the number of time reductions is 0 (S995). If the time reduction count is 0 (S995: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S1000, and the process proceeds to S1005. When the time reduction flag is not 1 (S990: no) or when the time reduction count is not 0 (S995: no), the process proceeds to S1005.

In S1005, the main controller 80 transmits a state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not the current gaming state is in a short time to the sub integrated controller 83 after a special symbol fixed time (600 ms), and the process proceeds to S1010. .
In this embodiment, the timing for transmitting the state designation command from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 in the special symbol success / failure determination processing is after the special symbol determination time, but at the time of starting the special symbol variation. In addition, a state designation command may be transmitted even when the power is restored.

Thereafter, in S1010, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a symbol that is a small hit (S1010). When the confirmed special symbol is a symbol that is a small hit (S1010: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory 106 is started (S1015), and a small hit game start process (S1020) is performed. In the small hit game start processing (S1025), a command for starting the small hit game and information related to the small hit game (opening time for small hit, opening pattern, small hitting ending time, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. . When the small hit game start process (S1020) ends, the small hit flag is set to “1” (S1025), and the process returns.
If the display time of the fixed symbol has not ended (S950: no), or if it is not a symbol indicating a small hit (S1010: no), the process proceeds to the special game process as it is.

FIG. 25 shows the types of big hit symbols and small hit symbols determined by the processing of S620, S640, S770, and S790, the game contents of the big hit (per symbol) game corresponding to these big hit symbols, and the small hit symbols corresponding to the small hit symbols Shows the game contents and the like of the jackpot game that has shifted from the hit to the jackpot (per bonus item).
There are four types of jackpot symbols of the first special symbol: “special one jackpot symbols 1 to 4”.
In any of the big hits in the “special 1 big hit symbols 1 and 2”, a game in which the second big prize opening 105 is opened for 29 seconds is defined as one round, and a big hit game is performed in which this round is four rounds. It does not shift to the open extended state after the big hit game ends.
For the big hit of “special 1 big hit symbol 3”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big prize opening 105 is opened for 16 rounds. After the big hit game is over, it shifts to the open extended state until the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the extended extended state, a second end effect period (end interval) having a longer effect time is set in the hit game of the normal symbol, and the target hit is aimed.
The big hit game of “special 1 big hit symbol 4” is a big hit game in which the second big winning opening 105 is opened for four rounds. After the big hit game is over, the open extended state continues until the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 100 times. Furthermore, during the open extended state, when the number of times the special symbol fluctuates is 1 to 49 times, the first end effect (end interval) having a short effect time is set in the normal symbol hit game, and the symbol hit is aimed. After that, when the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 50 times, the game is switched to the second end effect in the hit game of the normal symbol and aims at the winning combination.

There are two types of jackpot symbols of the second special symbol: “special two jackpot symbols 1, 2”.
For the big hit of “special 2 big hit symbol 1”, a big hit game in which the second big winning opening 105 is opened for 8 rounds is executed. After the big hit game is over, the open extended state continues until the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the open extended state, when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is 1 to 49, the first end effect period with a short effect time in the normal symbol hit game is set. Thereafter, when the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 50, the game is switched to the second end effect in the normal symbol winning game.
For the big hit of “special 2 big hit symbol 2”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big prize opening 105 is opened for 16 rounds. After the big hit game is over, the open extended state continues until the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the open extended state, when the number of times the special symbol fluctuates is 1 to 69, the first end effect with a short effect time is set in the normal symbol hit game. After that, when the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 70, the game is switched to the second end effect in the normal symbol winning game.

There are two types of small hit symbols of the first special symbol, “special small bonus symbols 1 and 2”.
A bonus game where the second big prize winning opening 105 is opened for 15 rounds is performed for each bonus from “special 1 small bonus symbol 1”. After the big hit game ends, it does not shift to the open extended state.
A bonus game in which the second big prize winning opening 105 is opened for three rounds is performed for each bonus from “special 1 small bonus symbol 2”. After the big hit game is over, the open extended state continues until the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 100 times. During the open extended state, the second end effect period is set in the normal symbol winning game.

There are two types of small hit symbols of the second special symbol, “special 2 small hit symbols 1, 2”. In the case of a special feature of “special 2 small hit symbol 1”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big prize winning opening 105 is opened for seven rounds.
On the other hand, in the case of a bonus of “special 2 small hit symbol 2”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big winning opening 105 is opened for 15 rounds.
In any of the symbols, after the jackpot game is over, the open extended state continues until the number of fluctuations of the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the open extended state, when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is 1 to 49, the first end effect period with a short effect time in the normal symbol hit game is set. Thereafter, when the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 50, the game is switched to the second end effect in the normal symbol winning game.
Note that in the second special symbol, the content of the big hit game and the content of the short-time game are more advantageous in the case of the symbol winning directly due to the symbol variation than in the case of the bonuses developed from the small hit.

The special game process will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in S1030 of FIG. 26, main controller 80 determines whether or not the big hit flag is set to 1. When the big hit flag is not set (S1030: no), the process proceeds to S1035, and it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is set to “1” (S1035). If the big hit flag is set to “1” (S1030: yes), the process proceeds to S1200 in FIG. If the small hit flag is not set (S1035: no), the special game process ends (return).

If the small hit flag is set to “1” (S1035: yes), the process proceeds to S1050 in FIG. In S1050, main controller 80 determines whether or not a small hit start effect is being performed (S1050). If it is not during the small hit start effect (S1050: no), it is determined in the process of S1055 whether or not the first big winning opening 14 is being opened (S1055).
If the first big prize opening 14 is not open (S1055: no), it is determined whether or not the specific area 104 is valid in the process of S1060.
If the specific area 104 is not valid (S1060: no), it is determined whether or not the small hit end effect is being performed in the processing of S1065. If the small hit end effect is being performed (S1065: yes), the processing of S1070 is performed. It is determined whether or not it is a small hit end production end time. If it is determined that it is the small hit end effect end time (S1070: yes), the small hit flag is set to 0 (S1075), and it is determined whether or not the interruption flag is set to “1” (S1077). . When the interruption flag is set to “1” (S1077: yes), the interruption flag is cleared (S1080), and the process proceeds to S1085. If the interruption flag is not set (S1077: no), the process proceeds to S1085.
In S1085, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is suspended. If it is suspended (S1085: yes), the measurement of the suspended special symbol time is resumed (S1090), and the special game process is terminated.

  When it is determined that the small hit start effect is being performed (S1050: yes), the process proceeds to S1092. In S1092, main controller 80 determines whether it is a small hit start effect end time. If it is determined that it is not the small hit start effect end time (S1092: no), the special game process is ended. If it is determined that it is the small hit start effect end time (S1092: yes), the first big winning opening 14 is opened (S1095), the specific area 104 is activated (S1097), and the special game process is performed. Exit.

  When it is determined that the small hit end effect is not being performed (S1065: no), the small hit start effect process is performed (S1067), and the special game process ends. If the end time of the small hit end effect is not reached (S1070: no), or if the special symbol is not interrupted (S1085: no), the special game process is terminated as it is.

In S1055, when the main controller 80 determines that the first big prize opening 14 is being opened (S1055: yes), the process proceeds to S1100 in FIG.
In S <b> 1100, the main controller 80 determines whether or not 10 game balls have been won in the first grand prize opening 14. When ten game balls have not won (S1100: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has ended (S1105). When the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 is over (S1105: yes), the process proceeds to S1110. When ten game balls are won in the first grand prize opening 14 (S1100: yes), the first big prize opening 14 is closed (S1110), and the special game process is terminated. If the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has not ended (S1105: no), the process proceeds to S1150 in FIG.

When it is determined in S1060 of FIG. 27 that the specific area 104 is valid (S1060: yes) or when it is determined in S1105 of FIG. 28 that the opening time of the first big prize opening 14 has not ended ( S1105: no), the process proceeds to S1150 in FIG. 29, and the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has won the specific area 104 (S1150).
When a game ball wins in the specific area 104 (S1150: yes), a conditional device operation start process (S1155) is performed, and the big hit flag is set to “1”. In subsequent S1160, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in S1165, it is determined whether or not the first big prize opening 14 is being opened (S1165). If it is determined that the first big prize opening 14 is open (S1165: yes), the first big prize opening 14 is closed (S1170), and the process proceeds to S1175. In addition, when the 1st big winning opening 14 is closing (S1165: no), it transfers to S1175 as it is.
In S1175, the main control device 80 invalidates the specific area 104 (S1175), performs a big hit game start setting process (S1180), sets a small hit flag to “0” (S1185), and ends the special game process. Let

  When the game ball has not won in the specific area 104 (S1150: no), it is determined whether or not the valid period for validating the specific area 104 is ended (S1190). If it is determined that the valid period is to end (S1190: yes), a small hit end effect process (S1195) is performed, whereby the main control device 80 transmits a small hit game end command to the sub integrated control device 83. And return. If it is determined that the valid period of the specific area 104 does not end (S1190: no), the process returns as it is.

  Returning to FIG. In S1030 of FIG. 26, when the big hit flag is set to “1” (1030: yes), in S1200 of FIG. 30, the main controller 80 determines whether the second big prize winning port 105 is open. Determine whether or not. If the second big prize opening 105 is closed (S1200: no), it is determined whether the second big prize opening 105 is closed during the interval between rounds (S1205). If it is not during the interval (S1205: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S1210). If this is also a negative determination (S1210: no), it is determined whether a big hit start effect is being performed (S1215). If this is also a negative determination (S1215: no), it is determined whether or not the time required to produce the big hit game has elapsed (S1225). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S1225: yes), the second big prize opening opening process (S1230) is performed, and the special game process is terminated.

In S1205, when it is determined that the main control device 80 is in the interval (S1205: yes), it is determined whether it is the interval end time (S1235). When it is determined that it is the interval end time (S1235: yes), the second big prize opening 105 is opened (S1240), and the special game process is ended. If it is determined that it is not the interval end time (S1235: no), the special game process is ended as it is.
If it is determined in S1215 that a big hit start effect is being performed (S1215: yes), a big hit start process is performed (S1220), and the process ends. In the big hit start effect process of S1220, main controller 80 transmits a big hit game start command to sub integrated control unit 83. If the time required to produce the big hit game has not elapsed (S1225: no), the special game process is terminated as it is.

When it is determined in S1200 of FIG. 30 that the second big prize opening 105 is being opened (S1200: yes), the process proceeds to S1250 of FIG.
In S1250, the main controller 80 determines whether or not 10 game balls have won the second grand prize opening 105 (S1250). When it is determined that ten game balls have not won the second grand prize opening 105 (S1250: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the second big prize opening 105 has ended (S1255). . When the opening time is over (S1255: yes), the second big prize opening 105 is closed (S1260), and a return is made. If ten game balls have won the second grand prize opening 105 (S1250: yes), the process proceeds to S1260. Further, when the opening time of the second big winning opening 105 has not ended (S1255: no), the process returns as it is.

  Returning to FIG. In S1210 of FIG. 30, when it is determined that the big hit end effect is being performed (S1210: yes), the process proceeds to S1300 of FIG. In S1300, main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot end presentation time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has not elapsed (S1300: no), the process returns as it is. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S1300: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S1305), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S1310). Then, it is determined whether or not the determined big hit symbol or the determined small hit symbol is shifted in a short time (S1315). If the time shifts (S1315: yes), the time reduction count is set (S1320), the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S1325), and the process proceeds to S1330. If the time does not shift quickly (S1315: no), the flow shifts to S1330. Note that the number of time reductions set in the time reduction number setting process (S1320) of this embodiment is 100 times. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set.

In S1330, main controller 80 performs processing for transmitting a jackpot end command to sub integrated control device 83, and determines whether or not the interruption flag is set to “1” (S1345). If the determination is affirmative (S1345: yes), the interruption flag is set to 0 (S1350), and the process proceeds to S1355. If the interruption flag is 0 (S1345: no), the process proceeds to S1355.
In S1355, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is suspended (S1355). If it is suspended (S1355: yes), the measurement of the suspended special symbol time is resumed (S1360), and the process proceeds to S1365. If the special symbol is not interrupted (S1355: no), the process proceeds to S1365. In S1365, a state designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the special game process is terminated.

The pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment performs a left-handed game in the normal gaming state and aims at a big hit game aiming at the first start port 11. When the game shifts to the open extended state after the big hit game, the player hits the right start game and aims to enter the second starting port 102.
For example, after the jackpot game executed in response to the “special 1 jackpot symbol 4” that is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, the open extension state is continued until the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is 100 times. The first end effect period is used as the end effect period of the normal symbol hit game until the second time, and the second end effect period is set as the second end effect period.
In this case, until the first 49 times, as shown in FIG. 33 (a), when the game ball (a) enters and passes through the normal symbol operation gate 17, the normal symbol lottery and the normal symbol variation are started. The variation time of the normal symbol is set so that the game ball (a) that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 17 ends before reaching the utility model 12.
Since the normal symbol lottery is won with a probability of almost 100% in the open extended state, after the change of the normal symbol is finished, the start effect (1) of the game per normal symbol (indicated by a circled number in FIG. 33) is performed. In the start effect, the effect time is set to an extremely short time during which the game player (12) opens before the game ball (a) reaches the utility machine 12.
That is, the change of the normal symbol and the start effect of the hitting game of the normal symbol are finished before the game ball (a) reaches the general electric utility 12, and the general electric utility 12 is released. The ball (a) enters the second starting port 102 by opening the electric utility 12.

  The opening time of the normal electric utility 12 for the game of the normal symbol is such that the game ball (b) that has entered the normal symbol operating gate 17 in succession to the game ball (a) passes through the normal electric actor 12 and the second It is desirable to set the time to reach the start port 102. As a result, the game ball (b) enters the second start port 102. Note that the game ball that passes through the normal symbol operation gate 17 continuously may be hit by the game ball that has been decelerated during the passage as described above, so that there is a certain amount of space between the two consecutive game balls. There is a gap between

When the opening time ends and the utility model 12 is closed, the first end effect period (2) of a very short time is performed in the same manner as the start effect period (1). The first end effect period (2) is preferably set so that the effect ends before the game ball passes the normal symbol operation gate 17 next to the game ball (b). That is, the end effect time is made shorter than the interval between the two consecutive game balls.
Thereafter, when the game balls (c) and (d) pass through the normal symbol normal symbol operation gate 17, a lottery of normal symbols and symbol variation are newly started. Then, the game balls (c) and (d) enter the second starting port 102 with the general electric character 12 released by winning the normal symbol.
Thus, when the first end effect period is set as the end effect period of the normal symbol hit game, the game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operation gate 17 must enter the second start port 102. Thus, the possibility of reaching the first grand prize opening 14 is significantly reduced. Therefore, during the first end effect period, it is possible to entertain a game aimed at the symbol by changing the special symbol caused by entering the second starting port 102.

When the game progresses and the number of changes in the special symbol reaches 50 times and the end effect period of the normal symbol hit game is switched to the second end effect period, as shown in FIG. When the game ball (a) enters and passes through the gate 17, a normal symbol hit game is performed, and the game ball (a) and the game ball (b) subsequent thereto play the normal symbol hit game. The ball enters the second starting port 102 by releasing the accessory 12.
Thereafter, the utility model 12 is closed and the second end effect period is executed. In this case, the second end effect period is made longer than the time required for the game ball (c) that has passed the normal symbol operating gate 17 to pass the normal electric accessory 12 after the operation of the general electric accessory 12 has ended. Therefore, since the game ball (c) passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17 during the normal symbol hitting game, a new normal symbol lottery is not performed by the game ball (c). Accordingly, the game ball (c) can pass (pass) through the ordinary electric accessory 12 and the second starting port 102 without reaching the first electric winning component and reach the first grand prize winning port. When a small hit game is triggered by the game ball (a) entering the second starting port 102, the game ball (c) enters the first big winning port 14, so that You can aim for a hit.

The change display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol of the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 to 38.
Referring to FIG. 34, the small hits that are executed due to the fact that the second special symbol is determined to be a small hit during the small hit variation of the first special symbol and the small special symbol is determined and displayed in the first special symbol. A case where a prize is won in the specific area 104 during the game will be described.
The first special symbol starts changing first, and then the second special symbol starts changing. Note that both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are determined to be small hits as a result of the determination of success / failure, and the small hits are changing. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is interrupted. The small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, and after the fixed display time has elapsed, the special electric accessory 106 is activated to start the small hit game. The operation of the condition device is started due to winning the specific area 104 during the small hit game, and the big hit game (per bonus item) is started. Thereafter, when the operation of the special electric accessory 106 and the condition device is finished, the interruption of the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol that has been interrupted is resumed. Then, when the variation time of the second special symbol elapses, the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed. When the fixed display time of the small hit symbol of the second special symbol elapses, the operation of the special electric accessory 106 is started.

Next, with reference to FIG. 35, it is determined that the second special symbol is determined to be a small hit during the small special symbol fluctuation of the first special symbol, and the small special symbol is determined and displayed by the first special symbol. A case where the specific area 104 is not won during the small hit game will be described.
The first special symbol starts changing first, and then the second special symbol starts changing. Since both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are determined to be small hits as a result of the determination of success / failure, there is a small hit variation. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is interrupted. The small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, and after the fixed display time has elapsed, the special electric accessory 106 is activated to start the small hit game. If there is no winning in the specific area 104 during the small hit game, the operation of the special electric accessory 106 is ended, and the small hit game is ended. Then, the interruption of the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol that has been interrupted is resumed. When the variation time of the second special symbol elapses, the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed. When the fixed display time of the small hit symbol of the second special symbol elapses, the operation of the special electric accessory 106 is started.

Using FIG. 36, the small hit game executed when the second special symbol is determined to be a big hit during the small hit variation of the first special symbol and the small special symbol is determined and displayed in the first special symbol. A case where a prize is won in the specific area 104 will be described.
The first special symbol starts changing first, and then the second special symbol starts changing. Since the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit by the determination of success or failure, the small special is changing. Further, since the second special symbol is determined to be a big hit by the determination of success or failure, the big special is changing. First, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is interrupted. The small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, and after the fixed display time has elapsed, the special electric accessory 106 is activated to start the small hit game. The operation of the condition device is started due to winning the specific area 104 during the small hit game, and the big hit game (per bonus item) is started. Thereafter, when the operation of the special electric accessory 106 and the condition device is finished, the interruption of the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol that has been interrupted is resumed. Then, when the variation time of the second special symbol elapses, the display is confirmed with the lost symbol.

37, the small hit game executed when the second special symbol is determined to be a big hit during the small hit variation of the first special symbol and the small special symbol is determined and displayed in the first special symbol. A case where the particular area 104 is not won will be described.
The first special symbol starts changing first, and then the second special symbol starts changing. Since the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit by the determination of success or failure, the small special is changing. Further, since the second special symbol is determined to be a big hit by the determination of success or failure, the big special is changing. First, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is interrupted. The small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, and after the fixed display time has elapsed, the special electric accessory 106 is activated to start the small hit game. If the special area 104 is not won during the small hit game, the operation of the special electric accessory 106 is finished and the small hit game is ended, and the interruption of the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is ended, Restart measurement of fluctuation time.
Thereafter, when the variation time has elapsed, the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol. After the fixed display time elapses, the condition device starts operating and the big hit game is executed.

An example of the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 40.
As shown in FIG. 38 (a), the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol fluctuates in the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In addition, an effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is variably displayed below the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
Thereafter, through the reach display mode shown in FIG. 38 (b), as shown in FIG. 38 (c), the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the lost symbol is confirmed and displayed as “232”, and the player has lost. Inform you. Note that the production symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is changing. In addition, since there are few situations which are changing simultaneously on a game structure, it should just be this display mode only at the time of simultaneous changes.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (a), an effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is displayed in the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The production symbol 1000 is confirmed and displayed as “333” to notify the player that the game has been a big hit. An effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the first embodiment, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the other special symbol in the variation is interrupted. A display example 1004 indicating “interrupted” is displayed. Moreover, although it is being interrupted, the variable display of the effect design 1001 is continued. In the upper right corner of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 1002 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (b), an effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is displayed in the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The effect symbol 1000 is confirmed and displayed as “246”, and notifies the player that the game has been a small hit. In the display example 1003, “small hit! Big hit if entering V!” Is displayed. An effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In Example 1, when the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed in one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol being varied is suspended. A display example 1004 indicating “interrupted” is displayed. Moreover, although it is being interrupted, the variable display of the effect design 1001 is continued.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (c), “V” is displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Alternatively, since “V Win” is displayed in the display example 1003, it is notified that the specific area 104 has been won during the small hit game. “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi”, which is a smile of the production character 1002, is displayed.

40 (a) and 40 (b), the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol that was interrupted was resumed after the big hit game that entered the specific area 104 and moved during the small hit game. In this case, an example of the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is shown.
When the winning combination ends, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol that has been interrupted is resumed. When the interruption display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 disappears and the game shifts to the open extended state after the jackpot game is over, the effect symbol 1001 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Further, when the transition to the open extended state is made after the jackpot game is over, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol starts to fluctuate in the lower right portion of the effect symbol display device 6.
Thereafter, when the process proceeds to FIG. 40B, the production symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is changing, but the production symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is stopped in a display mode indicating “369” and a loss. doing. Originally, the second special symbol was a small hit variation, but the small special symbol 104 was confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, and the player entered the specific area 104 during the small hit game. By the changing process (S860), the second special symbol is changed to the lost symbol instead of the small hit symbol.

  For example, if it is not possible to enter the specific area 104 during the small hit game executed with the small special symbol displayed and displayed in the first special symbol, after the small hit game ends, go to FIG. Transition. As shown in FIG. 40 (c), when the small hit game ends, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol starts to change. In addition, since the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol that has been interrupted is resumed, the effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol resumes the variable display that is in the normal display mode. In the display example 1003 shown in FIG. 40C, “Sorry ...” is displayed.

  In this embodiment, a small hitting probability is set for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the small hitting symbol is fixedly displayed in the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the small hitting game is executed. It was. As another configuration of the first embodiment, the small hit probability is set only for the second special symbol, and when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, the small hit game is executed. .

The pachinko machine 50 having the other configuration of the first embodiment described above has a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol change simultaneously, as in the first embodiment. Here, with reference to FIG. 41, the determination of success / failure of the other special symbol when one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit variation, a small hit variation, or a loss variation is described.
First, with reference to FIG. 41 (a), the determination as to whether or not the second special symbol is correct when the first special symbol is in the big hit variation or the loss variation will be described.
In FIG. 41 (a), even if the first special symbol is in the big hit variation or the loss variation, those that can be determined by the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is determined are displayed in circles, and those that cannot be determined are rounded. it's shown. When the first special symbol is in the process of losing, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is all round is displayed, so it is determined whether it is a big hit, a small hit or a loss. It is possible. When the first special symbol is changing the big hit, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), it is possible to judge whether the second special symbol is a big hit or not because the big special is displayed as a cross. It is.

Next, with reference to FIG. 41 (b), the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is successful when the second special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation will be described.
In FIG. 41 (b), even if the second special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation or the loss variation, those that can be determined by the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is correct are displayed in circles and cannot be determined. Things are displayed in crosses. When the second special symbol is in the process of losing, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), it is possible to determine whether or not the first special symbol is a big hit or a loss because all of the first special symbols are judged as circles. ing. When the second special symbol is changing in a small hit, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), since the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is all displayed in a circle, it can be determined whether it is a big hit or lost. is there. When the second special symbol is in a big hit variation, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), whether or not the first special symbol is successful is determined to be lost because the big hit is displayed as a cross.

41 (c) and 41 (d) are used to explain the control of the other special symbol during the change, which is performed when a special symbol is displayed as a lost symbol, a small hit symbol, or a big hit symbol. Go.
First, a description will be given with reference to FIG. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing second special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues.
When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the second special symbol. Further, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the small hit variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined fluctuation time is reached, the small hit symbol stops at the second special symbol.

Next, a description will be given with reference to FIG. When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing first special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues. In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted for the first special symbol that is in the process of changing the loss. Then, when the small hit game executed based on the small hit symbol or the big hit game transferred to the specific area 104 during the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. When a predetermined fluctuation time is reached, it stops at a lost symbol.
When the second special symbol is fixedly displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol during the big hit variation is interrupted. Then, depending on whether or not the specific area 104 is won during the small hit game executed on the basis of the small hit symbol, the symbols to be stopped after the measurement of the variation time is resumed.
When winning in the specific area 104 during the small hit game, the game is changed from the big hit symbol to the lost symbol, and when the transferred big hit game (per bonus item) ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. Then, when a predetermined fluctuation time is reached, it stops at the lost symbol. On the other hand, if the specific area 104 is not won during the small hit game, the game does not shift to the big hit game, and when the small hit game ends, the measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it will stop at the big hit symbol.
When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the first special symbol.

According to the above-mentioned ball game, the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed at the same time. When the display is performed, it is not determined to be a big hit, it is determined that the first special symbol is a loss, and the second special symbol is determined to be a small hit or a loss. It should not be confusing to the player.
When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed with a symbol indicating a small hit, measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is interrupted. However, when winning in the specific area 104 during the small hit game, when the big hit game (per bonus item) started due to winning in the specific area 104 is completed, the suspended variation time is measured. When the game is resumed and the variation time elapses, the game will be displayed with a losing symbol, so that the player will not be confused.

  In addition, since the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed at the same time, after the big hit game is finished, the state is shifted to the open extended state, and the normal symbol and the ordinary electric accessory 12 are operated to operate the second special symbol. Even if the start opening 102 is awarded, the second special symbol can be changed regardless of the fluctuation state of the first special symbol. Therefore, the operation timing of the normal symbol, the ordinary electric accessory 12, and the second start opening can be set. It becomes easy to make it constant to some extent.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the first embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.
In the present invention, the “normal figure starting port” corresponds to the normal symbol operating gate 17, the “first starting port” corresponds to the first starting port 11, and the “normal electric accessory” is the normal electric accessory 12. The “second start port” corresponds to the second start port 102, the “special drawing determination unit” corresponds to the determination processing (S55), and the “first game area” corresponds to the left game. It corresponds to the area L, the “second game area” corresponds to the right game area R, the “specific area” corresponds to the specific area 104, and the “variation interruption process” corresponds to the fluctuation time measurement interruption process (S930). The “first variation resumption process” corresponds to the first special symbol variation resumption process (S1090), and the “second variation resumption process” corresponds to the second special symbol variation resumption process (S1360).

  In the first embodiment, the end effect period of the normal symbol hit game is changed according to the number of fluctuations of the special symbol set based on the special symbol big hit symbol. It is also conceivable that the end effect period is configured to set the first end effect period or the second end effect period according to the hit symbol of the normal symbol that has triggered the normal symbol. The basic configuration is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be described.

The “ordinary symbol game content setting process 2” will be described with reference to FIG.
The winning game end period set by the normal symbol per set processing (S165) is set by the normal symbol per game content setting processing 2 shown in FIG. In S1370 of FIG. 42, main controller 80 determines whether or not the predetermined hit symbol is predetermined. If it is a predetermined winning symbol (S1370: yes), a first end effect period is set (S1372), and this process ends (returns). If the predetermined winning symbol is not reached (S1370: no), a second end effect period is set (S1374) and the process returns. With this configuration, a game can be performed as in the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, by switching the end effect period of the normal symbol per game to the first end effect period and the second end effect period having different effect times, the game is aimed at winning the symbol in the open extended state. However, as other configurations, the opening time (opening mode) of the normal electric game 12 for the normal symbol winning game is the first with a long opening time. It is configured to switch between a game aiming at a symbol or a game aiming at an object by switching between an ordinary electric accessory release mode and a second normal electric actor release mode with a short opening time. Is also possible. The basic configuration of the above-described configuration is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, and differences will be described.

The “ordinary symbol game content setting process 3” will be described with reference to FIG.
It is assumed that the setting of the release mode of the ordinary electric accessory by the normal symbol per set processing (S165) is set by the normal symbol per game content setting processing 3 shown in FIG. In S1380 in FIG. 43, main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of special symbol variations has reached a predetermined number. In S1380, whether or not the number of changes in the special symbol in the processing of S550 in FIG. 18 and S700 in FIG. 20 has reached the predetermined number set according to the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol that triggers the open extended state. Determine. If the predetermined number of times has been reached (S1380: yes), the first ordinary electric accessory release mode is set (S1382), and this process is terminated (returned). On the other hand, if the predetermined number of times has not been reached (S1380: no), the second ordinary electric accessory release mode is set (S1384), and the process returns. For example, if the big hit symbol is a special 1 big hit symbol 4, a special 2 big hit symbol 1, and a special 2 small hit symbol 1 or 2, it is confirmed whether or not the number of fluctuations of the special symbol has reached 50 times. If it is a special 2 big hit symbol 2, it is confirmed whether it has reached 70 times.
When the jackpot symbol is a special one jackpot symbol 3, the second ordinary electric accessory is released regardless of the number of changes in the special symbol. 1 It is set as a normal electric accessory opening mode.

This pachinko machine performs a left-handed game in the normal gaming state, and aims at a big hit game aiming at the first starting port 11. When the game shifts to a short-time game after the big hit game, a right-handed game is performed to aim at entering the second starting port 102.
For example, the end of the big hit game of the “special 1 big hit symbol 4” is a short-time game where the number of changes of the special symbol is 100 times, and the first normal electric motor with a long open time of the normal symbol hit game up to the first 49 times In the latter half, the second ordinary electric combination opening mode with a short opening time is set.
In this case, until the first 49 times, as shown in FIG. 44 (a), when the game ball (a) enters and passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17, the normal symbol lottery and the variation of the normal symbol are started. . The fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set so that the game ball (a) that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 17 ends before reaching the normal electric accessory 12.
In the open extended state, the normal symbol lottery is won with a probability of almost 100%, so that after the variation of the normal symbol is finished, it becomes the start effect period (1) of the normal symbol hit game. The start effect period is set to an extremely short time during which the ordinary electric accessory 12 is opened before the game ball (a) reaches the ordinary electric accessory 12.
That is, the fluctuation of the normal symbol and the start effect period of the hitting game of the normal symbol are finished before the game ball (a) reaches the normal electric accessory 12, and the normal electric motor is released in the first normal electric accessory release mode. The accessory 12 is released, and the game ball (a) enters the second starting port 102 when the ordinary electric accessory 12 is released.

  The opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12 in the first ordinary electric accessory releasing mode is such that the game ball (b) that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operating gate 17 continuously to the game ball (a) is the ordinary electric accessory. It is desirable to set the time to reach the object 12 and the second start port 102. As a result, the game ball (b) also enters the second starting port 102. As described above, there is a certain distance between the consecutive game balls (a) and the game balls (b).

When the opening time ends and the ordinary electric accessory 12 is closed, an end effect period (2) of an extremely short time is performed in the same manner as the start effect period (1). The first end effect period (2) is preferably set so that the effect ends before the game ball passes the normal symbol operation gate 17 after the game ball (b). That is, the end effect time is made shorter than the interval between the two consecutive game balls.
Thereafter, when the game balls (c) and (d) pass through the normal symbol operation gate 17, a lottery of normal symbols and symbol fluctuations are newly started on these occasions. Then, the game balls (c) and (d) enter the second starting port 102 with the ordinary electric accessory 12 opened by winning the normal symbol.
As described above, when the first ordinary electric accessory release mode is set as the release mode of the ordinary electric accessory 12, the game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operating gate 17 enters the second starting port 102. As a result, the possibility of reaching the first grand prize opening 14 is significantly reduced. Therefore, during the period in which the first ordinary electric accessory release mode is set, it is possible to entertain a game aimed at the symbol by the variation of the special symbol resulting from the entry into the second starting port 102.

When the game progresses and the number of fluctuations of the special symbol reaches 50, and the opening mode of the ordinary electric accessory 12 is switched to the second ordinary electric accessory releasing mode, as shown in FIG. When the game ball (a) enters and passes through the operating gate 17, a normal symbol hitting game is performed, and the normal electric accessory 12 is released in the second normal electric accessory release mode. In this case, it is desirable that the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12 is shorter than the time required for at least the game ball (b) following the game ball (a) to pass through the ordinary electric accessory 12.
The game ball (a) enters the second start port 102 by opening the normal electric combination 12 in the second normal electric combination release mode. However, since the normal electric combination 12 is immediately closed, the following game ball ( In b), it is possible to pass through (pass) the ordinary electric accessory 12 and the second start opening 102 without reaching the first electric winning opening 102 and reach the first grand prize winning opening 14. Then, when a small hit game is triggered when the game ball (a) enters the second starting port 102, the game ball (b) enters the first big winning port 14, so that You can aim for a hit.

By switching the release mode of the ordinary electric accessory 12 between the first normal electric accessory release manner for a long time and the second ordinary electric accessory release manner for a short time, in a short-time game, It is possible to entertain a player with a game aiming at a bonus.
In addition, it is not always necessary to switch the opening mode of the ordinary electric game for the normal symbol hit game in the open extended state. For example, the second extended state after the big hit game of the “special one big hit symbol 3” is all the second extended state. Ordinarily, it is possible to use a mode in which an electric accessory is released, and a game in which the hitting of an accessory is concentrated can be performed. On the other hand, the first ordinary electric accessory may be released as in the extended extended state after the big hit game from the small hit of the “special 1 small hit symbol 3”, and a game that concentrates on the per symbol can be achieved.

  When the ordinary electric combination 12 is opened in the first ordinary electric combination release mode, as shown in FIG. 45, the first ordinary combination of the ordinary electric combination 12 is performed from the change of the special symbol to the end of the small hit game. It is desirable to end during the opening according to the electric accessory opening mode. In this way, the correspondence between the operation of the normal symbol and the operation of the special symbol can be made a one-to-one relationship. In addition, as a standard to be matched, in addition to the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 12, it may be associated with a normal symbol hit game period, or it may be associated with a period from a normal symbol change to a normal symbol hit game end. May be.

You may make it set the opening aspect which combined the opening time and the frequency | count of opening | release as the opening aspect of the normal electric accessory 12 of the normal symbol hit game.
As shown in FIG. 46 (a), the first ordinary electric accessory opening mode is one opening consisting of a predetermined opening time. Games that have entered and passed the normal symbol operating gate 17 in succession to the game ball (a) that triggered the normal symbol hitting game as a result of entering and passing the normal symbol operating gate 17 as a predetermined opening time It is desirable to set the time so that the ball (b) reaches the ordinary electric accessory 12 and the second starting port 102. As described above, there is a certain distance between the consecutive game balls (a) and the game balls (b).

In the first ordinary electric accessory release mode, the game ball (a) and the subsequent game ball (b) enter the second starting port 102.
Thereafter, when the game balls (c) and (d) pass through the normal symbol operation gate 17, a lottery of normal symbols and symbol fluctuations are newly started on these occasions. Then, the game balls (c) and (d) enter the second starting port 102 with the ordinary electric accessory 12 opened by winning the normal symbol.
As described above, when the first ordinary electric accessory release mode is set as the release mode of the ordinary electric accessory 12, the game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operating gate 17 enters the second starting port 102. As a result, the possibility of reaching the first grand prize opening 14 is significantly reduced. Therefore, during the period in which the first ordinary electric accessory release mode is set, it is possible to entertain a game aimed at the symbol by the variation of the special symbol resulting from the entry into the second starting port 102.

As shown in FIG. 46 (b), as the second ordinary electric accessory opening mode, an opening mode in which an opening with an extremely short opening time is performed twice at a predetermined interval is used.
As the opening time, at least the game ball (b) following the game ball (a) that has triggered the normal symbol by entering the normal symbol operation gate 17 and passing through the normal symbol operation gate 17 passes through the normal electric accessory 12. It is desirable to make it shorter than the time required to do this. Further, it is desirable that the predetermined interval is longer than at least the time required for the game ball (b) to reach the ordinary electric accessory 12 after passing through the ordinary symbol operating gate 17.
According to the example shown in the figure, the game ball (a) enters the second starting port 102 by opening the normal electric combination 12 in the second normal electric combination release mode, but the normal electric combination 12 is immediately closed. Therefore, the game balls (b) and (c) during the interval pass through (pass) the ordinary electric accessory 12 and the second starting port 102 without reaching the first electric winning port 14 and reach the first grand prize winning port 14. It becomes possible. Then, when a small hit game is executed with the game ball (a) entering the second starting port 102, the game balls (b) and (c) enter the first big winning port 14. So you can aim for the role.

  As described above, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment switches the opening mode of the ordinary electric accessory 12 between the first ordinary electric accessory opening manner and the second ordinary electric accessory opening manner having different opening times and opening times. In the extended extended state, it is possible to entertain the player with a game aiming at the symbol and a game aiming at the bonus.

  It is a configuration in which the opening mode of the normal electric bonus game 12 for the normal symbol hit game is switched according to the number of times the special symbol is changed based on the special symbol big hit symbol. The 12 open modes may be configured to set the first normal electric accessory release mode or the second normal electric bonus release mode according to the normal symbol hit symbol that triggered the normal symbol hit game. Good.

With reference to FIG. 47, “ordinary symbol game content setting processing 4” will be described.
It is assumed that the setting of the release mode of the ordinary electric accessory by the normal symbol per set processing (S165) is set by the normal symbol per game content setting processing 4 shown in FIG. In S1390 of FIG. 47, main controller 80 determines whether or not the normal symbol winning symbol is a predetermined predetermined symbol. In the case of a predetermined winning symbol (S1390: yes), the first ordinary electric accessory release mode is set (S1392), and this processing is ended (returned). On the other hand, if it is not the predetermined winning symbol (S1390: no), the second ordinary electric accessory release mode is set (S1394), and the process returns.

In the other configurations of the first embodiment and the first embodiment, a normal symbol hit game is executed in which the normal symbol hit game end effect period, the normal electric accessory release mode, and the like are different.
For example, when a normal symbol hit game consisting of the first end effect period is executed in the open extended state that has been shifted to after the end of the big hit game, the player enters the second start opening 102, but the first big winning opening 14 Since it is difficult to enter the ball, it is aimed that the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed by the second special symbol. On the other hand, when the normal symbol winning game consisting of the second end effect period is executed in the extended extended state after the end of the big winning game, the normal symbol winning game time becomes longer. It is possible to enter the ball and aim for winning in the specific area 104.
However, in the configuration described above, in the configuration in which only one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed, the reserved storage of the first special symbol is stored after the transition to the open extended state, but the second special symbol is stored. When the reserved memory corresponding to the symbol is not stored, the first special symbol fluctuates. Even if the fired game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 17, the normal electric accessory 12 is released and enters the second starting port 102, and the reserved memory of the second special symbol is stored, The 2 special symbols do not fluctuate, and then the second special symbol starts to fluctuate.
Therefore, a series of normal symbols actuating gate 17 is opened, ordinary electric accessory 12 is opened, and the ball enters into the second starting port 102, the second special symbol starts to fluctuate, and the symbol is confirmed and displayed. A shift in operation timing will occur.
The above-mentioned bullet ball game machine has a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed simultaneously, so that the ball enters the second start port 102 immediately after the first special symbol is changed. Since the second special symbol can be varied, it is possible to prevent a series of operation timing shifts from occurring. 42 to 47, the other configuration of the first embodiment has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other configurations of the second and third embodiments described later are illustrated in FIG. Any of the 47 configurations may be combined with the configurations of the second and third embodiments. Thereby, the effect similar to the other structure of Example 1 is acquired.
[Example 2]

  A second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 to 55. FIG. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be mainly described.

  In the first embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 7, when one of the first special symbols or the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol, the other variable is changing. The special symbol of is a configuration that immediately interrupts the measurement of the variation time, and when one special symbol is confirmed and displayed in the small hit symbol, if the other special symbol in the big hit fluctuation is in the other, the small hit game The variation after the measurement of the variation time is resumed is changed to the loss variation depending on whether or not the specific area 104 is won.

  The pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment has a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed simultaneously, but unlike the first embodiment, one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is used. When the special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol, the other special symbol that is being changed is stopped at the lost symbol.

The determination of whether or not the second special symbol is correct when the first special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 48 (a), when the first special symbol is losing, the determination of whether the second special symbol is correct is displayed as a circle, so it is determined whether it is a big hit, a small hit or a loss. Is possible. When the first special symbol is changing the small hit, the determination of whether the second special symbol is successful is displayed as a circle, so whether or not the big special, the small hit or the loss is determined. When the first special symbol is changing to be a big hit, since the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is a cross is displayed, the determination whether or not the big special is won is not performed. However, since the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful is displayed in a circle, whether or not a small hit or a loss occurs is determined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 48 (b), the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is successful when the second special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation will be described.
As shown in FIG. 48 (b), when the second special symbol is in the process of losing, the determination of whether the first special symbol is correct is displayed as a circle. Is possible. When the second special symbol is changing the small hit, the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is a circle is displayed in a circle, so whether or not the big special, the small hit or the loss is determined. When the second special symbol is changing to be a big hit, since the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is a cross is displayed in a cross, whether or not the big special is won is not determined. However, since the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is correct is displayed in a circle, whether or not a small hit or a loss occurs is determined.

48 (c) and FIG. 48 (d), this is performed when one of the first special symbols or the second special symbols is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, a small hit symbol, or a big hit symbol. The control of the other special symbol during fluctuation will be described.
First, description will be made with reference to FIG. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the second special symbol that is changing is not limited at all, and the variation continues. In addition, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the second special symbol during the loss variation stops at the loss symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time. When the first special symbol is fixedly displayed with the small hit symbol, the second special symbol during the small hit variation or the big hit variation stops at the lost symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time.
In addition, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, the second special symbol during the loss change stops at the loss symbol before the change time elapses. In addition, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the second special symbol during the small hit variation stops at the lost symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time.

Next, description will be made with reference to FIG. When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing first special symbol is not limited at all, and the variation continues. In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the first special symbol during the loss variation stops at the loss symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time. When the second special symbol is fixedly displayed with the small hit symbol, the first special symbol during the small hit variation or the big hit variation stops at the lost symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time.
In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, the first special symbol that is losing changes stops at the losing symbol before the fluctuation time elapses. In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the first special symbol during the small hit variation stops at the lost symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time.

The special symbol success / failure determination processing of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 49 to 50.
In S1400 of FIG. 49, main controller 80 determines whether or not special electric accessory 106 is operating (S1400). If the determination is negative (S1400: no), the first special symbol changes. It is determined whether it is in the middle (S1405). If the first special symbol is stopped (S1405: no), it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S1410). If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S1410: no), the process proceeds to S600 in FIG. If the special electric accessory 106 is in operation (S1400: yes), the special symbol success / failure determination process ends, and the process proceeds to the special game process. When the first special symbol is changing (S1405: yes), the process proceeds to S1600 in FIG. If the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S1410: yes), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG.

  In S1550 of FIG. 50, main controller 80 determines whether or not special electric accessory 106 is operating (S1550). If the determination is negative (S1550: no), the first special symbol changes. It is determined whether it is in the middle (S1555). When the first special symbol is stopped (S1555: no), it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S1560). If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S1560: no), the process proceeds to S600 in FIG. Further, when the special electric accessory 106 is in operation (S1550: yes), the special symbol success / failure determination process ends, and the process proceeds to the special game process. If the first special symbol is changing (S1555: yes), the process proceeds to S1600 in FIG. Further, when the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S1560: yes), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG.

  49, when the first special symbol is changing (S1405: yes), or when the second special symbol is changing (S1555: yes) in FIG. The process proceeds to S1600 of 51. In S1600, main controller 80 determines whether or not the symbol variation time has elapsed (S1600). When the symbol variation time has elapsed (S1600: yes), a confirmed symbol display process is performed (S1605), and it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is a big hit symbol (S1610). When the confirmed symbol is a jackpot symbol (S1610: yes), the process proceeds to S1615. If the confirmed symbol is not a big hit symbol (S1610: no), it is determined whether or not it is a small hit symbol (S1620). If it is a small hit symbol (S1620: yes), the process proceeds to S1615. In S1615, the stop flag is set to “1” and the process proceeds to special game processing. If the symbol variation time has not elapsed (S1600: no), it is determined whether or not the stop flag is set to “1” (S1625). If the determination is affirmative (S1625: yes), a special symbol stop process is performed (S1630), the stop flag is set to 0 (S1635), and the process proceeds to a special game process. If the confirmed symbol is a lost symbol (S1620: no), or if the stop flag is 0 (S1625: no), the process proceeds to the special game process.

Next, differences between the special game process of the second embodiment and the special game process of the first embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, when the small hit flag is set to “1” in S1035 of FIG. 26 (S1035: yes), the main controller 80 of the second embodiment proceeds to S1650 of FIG.
In S1650, main controller 80 determines whether or not a small hit start effect is being performed (S1650). If the small winning start effect is not being performed (S1650: no), it is determined in the processing of S1655 whether or not the first big winning opening 14 is being opened (S1655).
If the first big prize opening 14 is not open (S1655: no), it is determined whether or not the specific area 104 is valid in the process of S1660. If the specific area 104 is not valid (S1660: no), it is determined in the process of S1065 whether or not the small hit end effect is being performed, and if the small hit end effect is being performed (S1665: yes), It is determined whether or not it is a small hit end production end time. If it is determined that it is the small hit end effect end time (S1670: yes), the small hit flag is set to 0 (S1675), and the special game process is ended.

  When it is determined that the small hit start effect is being performed (S1650: yes), the process proceeds to S1690. In S1690, main controller 80 determines whether it is a small hit start effect end time. If it is determined that it is not the small hit start effect end time (S1690: no), the special game process is ended. If it is determined that it is the small hit start effect end time (S1690: yes), the first big winning opening 14 is opened (S1692), the specific area 104 is activated (S1695), and the special game process is performed. End.

When it is determined that the small hit end effect is not being performed (S1665: no), the small hit start effect process is performed (S1667), and the special game process ends. If it is not the end time of the small hit end effect (S1670: no), the special game process is ended.
In addition, when the 1st big winning opening 14 is open (S1655: yes), it transfers to S1100 of FIG. When the specific area 104 is valid (S1660: yes), the process proceeds to S1150 in FIG.

  When it is determined in S1210 of FIG. 30 that the big hit end effect is being performed (S1210: yes), the process proceeds to S1800 of FIG. In S1800, main controller 80 determines whether or not the jackpot end presentation time has elapsed. If the big hit end effect time has not elapsed (S1800: no), the process returns as it is. When the jackpot end effect time has elapsed (S1800: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S1805), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S1810). Then, it is determined whether or not the determined big hit symbol or the determined small hit symbol is shifted in a short time (S1815). If the time shifts (S1815: yes), the number of time reductions is set (S1820), the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S1825), and the process proceeds to S1830. If the time does not shift quickly (S1815: no), the flow shifts to S1830. Note that the number of time reductions set in the time reduction number setting process (S1820) of this embodiment is 100 times. When the time reduction flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the special symbol average fluctuation time reduction, the normal symbol average fluctuation time reduction, and the normal electric accessory 12 opening extension function are set.

  In S1830, main controller 80 performs processing for transmitting a jackpot end command to sub integrated control device 83, and in S1835, transmits a state designation command to sub integrated control device 83, and ends the special game processing.

Next, the case where the small hit symbol or the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed with the first special symbol will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 54A, the first special symbol starts to fluctuate first, and then the second special symbol starts to fluctuate. It should be noted that the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit by the determination of success or failure, and is a big hit fluctuation. Moreover, it is determined as a small hit by the determination whether or not the second special symbol is appropriate, and this is a small hit fluctuation. Then, the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol. Although the second special symbol is a small hit variation, the big special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, and is finally displayed with the lost symbol. And if the fixed display time of the big hit symbol of a 1st special symbol passes, a condition device will act | operate and a big hit game will be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 54 (b), the first special symbol starts to fluctuate first, and then the second special symbol starts to fluctuate. Note that the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit by the determination of success or failure, and is a small hit variation. Moreover, it is determined as a big hit by the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is appropriate, and this is a big hit fluctuation. Then, the first special symbol is fixedly displayed as a small hit symbol. The second special symbol was a big hit variation, but the small special symbol was confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, so that it was confirmed and displayed in the lost symbol. And if the fixed display time of the small hit symbol of the 1st special symbol passes, the special electric accessory 106 will act | operate and a small hit game will be performed.

An example of the effect aspect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display apparatus 6 of Example 2 is demonstrated using FIG.
FIG. 55 (a) is an example of the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol.
As shown in FIG. 55 (a), an effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is displayed in the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The effect symbol 1000 is confirmed and displayed as “333” and notifies the player that the game has been a big hit. Note that an effect symbol 10001 corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In Example 2, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, before the predetermined variation time of the other special symbol being fluctuated is reached. In addition, it is configured to stop at the lost symbol. Therefore, the effect symbol 1001 is fixedly displayed as “369”, and notifies the player that the game has been lost. In the upper right corner of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 1002 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed.

FIG. 55 (b) is an example of an effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol. .
As shown in FIG. 55 (b), an effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is displayed in the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The effect symbol 1000 is confirmed and displayed as “246”, and notifies the player that the game has been a small hit. Note that an effect symbol 10001 corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In Example 2, when the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed in one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the predetermined variation time of the other special symbol that is fluctuating is reached. Before, it is configured to stop at the lost symbol. Therefore, the effect symbol 1001 is fixedly displayed as “369”, and notifies the player that the game has been lost. In the upper right corner of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 1002 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed.

  According to the second embodiment, a small hit probability is set for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the small hit game is executed. It was. As another configuration of the second embodiment, the small hit probability is set only for the second special symbol, and when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, the small hit game is executed. .

The pachinko machine 50 having the other configuration of the above-described second embodiment has a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are simultaneously changed in the same manner as the second embodiment. Here, with reference to FIG. 56, description will be given of whether or not the other special symbol is successful when one of the first special symbols or the second special symbol is a big hit variation, a small hit variation, or a loss variation.
First, with reference to FIG. 56 (a), the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is correct when the first special symbol is in the big hit fluctuation or the loss fluctuation will be described.
As shown in FIG. 56 (a), when the first special symbol is losing, the determination whether the second special symbol is correct is displayed as a circle, so whether it is big hit, small hit or lost Is possible. When the first special symbol is changing to be a big hit, since the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is a cross is displayed, the determination whether or not the big special is won is not performed. However, since the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful is displayed in a circle, whether or not a small hit or a loss occurs is determined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 56 (b), a description will be given of whether or not the first special symbol is correct when the second special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation.
As shown in FIG. 56 (b), when the second special symbol is losing, the first special symbol is judged as a circle, so it can be judged whether it is a big hit or a loss. is there. When the second special symbol is changing in a small hit, since the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is a circle is displayed, whether or not it is a big hit or lost is determined. When the first special symbol is changing to be a big hit, the success / failure determination of the second special symbol is displayed as a cross, so whether or not it is a big hit is not determined and it is determined to be lost.

56 (c) and 56 (d) will be used to explain the control of the other special symbol that is being changed, which is performed when the special symbol is displayed as a lost symbol, a small hit symbol, or a big hit symbol. .
First, description will be made with reference to FIG. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing second special symbol is not limited at all. In addition, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the second special symbol during the loss variation stops at the loss symbol before a predetermined variation time elapses. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the second special symbol during the small hit fluctuation is stopped at the lost symbol before the predetermined fluctuation time elapses.

Next, description will be made with reference to FIG. When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing first special symbol is not limited at all. In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the small hit symbol, the first special symbol during the loss variation or the big hit variation is stopped at the loss symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time.
When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the first special symbol during the loss variation stops at the loss symbol before reaching a predetermined variation time.

According to the ball game machine having the other configuration of the second embodiment or the second embodiment, the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed at the same time, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol. When the other special symbol is judged to be a success / failure, if one of the special symbols is a big hit, a small hit or a loss is judged, so that the player is not confused.
In addition, when one special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol, the other special symbol is forcibly displayed as a lost symbol, avoiding the situation where the winning combination overlaps at the same time. can do.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the second embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.
The “variation stop process” of the present invention corresponds to the special symbol stop process (S1630).
[Example 3]

  A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 57 to 62. FIG. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be mainly described.

  The pachinko machine 50 according to the third embodiment is different from the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment described above. When one special symbol of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a small hit variation or a big hit variation, In the determination of whether or not the special symbol is successful, the loss determination is performed without determining the big hit or the small hit. In addition, if one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol, measurement of the variation time of the other special symbol that is changing is interrupted, and the big hit game or small The measurement of the variation time is resumed after the winning game is ended, and when the variation time reaches a predetermined variation time, the measurement is stopped at the lost symbol.

The control of the other special symbol when one of the first special symbols or the second special symbol is a big hit variation, a small hit variation, or a loss variation will be described with reference to FIG.
First, with reference to FIG. 57A, the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful when the first special symbol is a big hit variation, a small hit variation or a loss variation will be described.
In FIG. 57 (a), even if the first special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation or the loss variation, those that can be determined by the determination whether or not the second special symbol is correct are displayed in circles and cannot be determined. Things are displayed in crosses.
In FIG. 57 (a), the loss, the small hit and the big hit are displayed as circles. Therefore, when the first special symbol is in the process of shifting, it is determined whether the second special symbol is a big hit, a small hit or a loss. Can be determined. Also, in FIG. 57 (a), the big hit and the small hit are displayed as crosses, and the loss is displayed as a circle. Therefore, when the first special symbol is changing the small hit, it is determined whether the second special symbol is successful or not. It is determined. Also, in FIG. 57 (a), the big hit and the small hit are displayed as crosses, and the loss is displayed as a circle. Therefore, when the first special symbol is changing to be a big hit, the second special symbol is determined to be lost or not. It is determined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 57 (b), a description will be given of whether or not the first special symbol is correct when the second special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation.
In FIG. 57 (b), the lost, small hit and big hit are displayed as circles. Therefore, when the second special symbol is changing, either the big hit, the small hit or the lost in the first special symbol is determined. Can be determined. Also, in FIG. 57 (b), the big hit and the small hit are displayed as crosses, and the loss is displayed as a circle. Therefore, when the second special symbol is changing the small hit, it is determined that the first special symbol is wrong or not. It is determined. Also, in FIG. 57 (b), the big hit and the small hit are displayed as crosses, and the loss is displayed as a circle. Therefore, when the second special symbol is changing so as to be a big hit, It is determined.

Using FIG. 57 (c) and FIG. 57 (d), it is performed when one of the first special symbols or the second special symbols is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, a small hit symbol, or a big hit symbol. The control of the other special symbol during fluctuation will be described.
First, a description will be given with reference to FIG. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing second special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues. In addition, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, when the small hit game is executed based on the small hit game and the specific area 104 is won during the small hit game, the special area 104 is won after the transferred big hit game ends or during the small hit game. If not, measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed after the small hit game ends. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it stops at the small hit symbol. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the second special symbol.

Next, description will be made with reference to FIG. When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing first special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues. In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted for the first special symbol that is in the process of changing the loss. Then, when the small hit game is executed based on the small hit game and the specific area 104 is won during the small hit game, the special area 104 is won after the transferred big hit game ends or during the small hit game. If not, measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed after the small hit game ends. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it stops at the lost symbol.
When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the first special symbol.

The special symbol success / failure determination processing of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the first special symbol success / failure determination process of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 58 and 59. In S1850, main controller 80 determines whether or not special electric accessory 106 is operating (S1850). In the case of negative determination (S1850: no), it is determined whether or not the first special symbol is suspended (S1855). In the case of negative determination (S1855: no), it is determined whether or not the first special symbol is changing (S1860). In the case of negative determination (S1860: no), it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S1865). If the determination is negative (S1865: no), the process proceeds to S1900 in FIG.
If the special electric accessory 106 is in operation (S1850: yes) or the first special symbol is suspended (S1855: yes), the special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated and the process proceeds to the special game process. . If the first special symbol is changing (S1860: yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. If the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S1865: yes), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG.

  When the process proceeds to S1900 in FIG. 59, main controller 80 determines whether or not there is a first hold memory (the hold memory in S510 in FIG. 17 described above) (S1900). If there is this reserved memory (S1900: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S1905), and the process proceeds to S1910. If there is no first hold memory (S1900: no), the first special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the special game process.

In S1910, main controller 80 determines whether or not the second special symbol is a big hit variation. If it is not a big hit fluctuation (S1910: no), it is determined whether or not the fluctuation of the second special symbol is a small hit fluctuation (S1915). If it is not a small hit fluctuation (S1915: no), the first reserved memory is decremented, and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S1920). The jackpot probability of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.
In the process of S1920, if it is determined that it is a big hit (S1920: yes), the big hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determination random number (S1925). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S1930). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number. After the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S1935). The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design, the gaming status after the jackpot (such as whether there is an extension of the opening) and information on the jackpot game (opening time of the jackpot, the opening pattern of the second jackpot 105, the ending time of the jackpot, Round number).

  If it is determined that it is not a big hit (S1920: no), the read big hit determination random number is compared with a table in which a predetermined small hit value is stored to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S1940). ). When it is determined that the game is a small hit (S1940: yes), the small hit symbol is determined based on the symbol determining random number (S1945). The small hit probability of the first special symbol in the third embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment. Thereafter, a variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number (S1950), a small hit setting process (S1955) is performed, and the process proceeds to S1970. The small hit setting process (S650) of this embodiment obtains information related to the small hit game (the opening time per small hit, the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14, the ending time per small hit), and subtracts the number of time reductions. It is processing to do.

  When the second special symbol is changing the big hit (S1910: yes), when the second special symbol is the small hit change (S1915: yes), or it is determined not to be a big hit from the random number of the first special symbol If this is the case (S1940: no), in S1960, the fluctuation pattern is determined by the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern (S1960), a loss setting process is performed (S1965), and the process proceeds to S1970. In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions is positive, -1 is set.

  Subsequent to S1935, S1955, or S1965, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, data indicating the big hit, reach out (removed but with reach display), or out with no reach display and the variation time Is output to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1970), and special game processing is performed.

Next, the second special symbol success / failure determination process will be described with reference to FIGS. 60 and 61. In S2000, main controller 80 determines whether or not special electric accessory 106 is in operation (S2000). In the case of a negative determination (S2000: no), it is determined whether or not the second special symbol is suspended (S2005). In the case of negative determination (S2005: no), it is determined whether or not the second special symbol is changing (S2010). In the case of negative determination (S2010: no), it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S2015). If the determination is negative (S2015: no), the process proceeds to S2050 in FIG.
If the special electric accessory 106 is in operation (S2000: yes) or the second special symbol is being interrupted (S2005: yes), the special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated and the process proceeds to the special game process. . When the second special symbol is changing (S2010: yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. If the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S2015: yes), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG.

  When the process proceeds to S2050 in FIG. 61, main controller 80 determines whether or not there is a second hold memory (the hold memory in S525 in FIG. 17 described above) (S2050). If there is this reserved memory (S2050: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S2055), and the process proceeds to S2060. If there is no second reserved memory (S2050: no), the special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the special game process.

In S2060, main controller 80 determines whether or not the first special symbol is a big hit variation (S2060). If it is not a big hit variation (S2060: no), it is determined whether or not the variation of the first special symbol is a small hit variation (S2065). If it is not a small hit fluctuation (S2065: no), the second reserved memory is decremented, and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S2070). The jackpot probability of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.
In the process of S2070, if it is determined that it is a big hit (S2070: yes), the big hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S2075). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S2080). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number. After the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S2085). The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design, the gaming status after the jackpot (such as whether there is an extension of the opening) and information on the jackpot game (opening time of the jackpot, the opening pattern of the second jackpot 105, the ending time of the jackpot, Round number).

  When it is determined that it is not a big hit (S2070: no), the read big hit determination random number is compared with a table in which a predetermined small hit value is stored to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S2090). ). When it is determined that a small hit is made (S2090: yes), a small hit symbol is determined based on the random number for symbol determination (S2095). The small hit probability of the second special symbol of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. Thereafter, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S2100), small hit setting processing (S2105) is performed, and the process proceeds to S2120. The small hit setting process (S2105) of the present embodiment acquires information on the small hit game (the opening time per small hit, the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 14, the ending time per small hit), and subtracts the number of time reductions. It is processing to do.

  When the first special symbol is changing the big hit (S2060: yes), when the first special symbol is the small hit change (S2065: yes), or it is determined not to be a big hit from the random number of the second special symbol. If this is the case (S2090: no), in S2110, the fluctuation pattern is determined by the fluctuation pattern determination random number, the loss setting process is performed (S2115), and the process proceeds to S2120. In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions is positive, -1 is set.

  Subsequent to S2085, S2105, or S2115, data indicating the above-described lottery result, specifically, data indicating a big hit, reach out (removed but with reach display), or out with no reach display and variation time Is output to the sub integrated control device 83 (S2120), and special game processing is performed.

Next, the case where it is determined that the second special symbol is lost during the big hit variation of the first special symbol and the big special symbol is determined and displayed by the first special symbol will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 62, the first special symbol starts to fluctuate first, and then the second special symbol starts to fluctuate. The first special symbol is fixedly displayed as a big hit symbol after a predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed. Even if the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is made during the big hit variation of the first special symbol, it is determined that the game is lost. Therefore, the variation of the second special symbol is a loss variation. When the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is interrupted. When the definite display time of the jackpot symbol in the first special symbol elapses, the condition device is activated. When the big hit game is finished and the operation of the condition device is finished, the measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol is resumed, and when the predetermined variation time is reached, the display is confirmed with the lost symbol.

  In this embodiment, a small hitting probability is set for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the small hitting symbol is fixedly displayed in the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the small hitting game is executed. It was. As another configuration of the third embodiment, the small hit probability is set only for the second special symbol, and when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, the small hit game is executed. .

  The pachinko machine 50 having the other configuration of the third embodiment described above has a configuration in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol change simultaneously as in the third embodiment. Here, the control of the other special symbol when one of the first special symbols or the second special symbol is a big hit variation, a small hit variation, or a loss variation will be described with reference to FIG.

First, with reference to FIG. 63 (a), the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful when the first special symbol is undergoing big hit fluctuation or loss fluctuation will be described.
In FIG. 63 (a), even if the first special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation or the loss variation, those that can be determined by the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is correct are displayed in circles and cannot be determined. Things are displayed in crosses.
In FIG. 63 (a), the loss, the small hit and the big hit are displayed as circles. Therefore, when the first special symbol is in the process of shifting, it is determined whether the second special symbol is a big hit, a small hit or a loss. Can be determined. Also, in FIG. 57 (a), the big hit and the small hit are displayed as crosses, and the loss is displayed as a circle. Therefore, when the first special symbol is changing the big hit, Determined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 63 (b), a description will be given of whether or not the first special symbol is appropriate when the second special symbol is in the big hit variation, the small hit variation, or the loss variation.
In FIG. 63 (b), since the loss and big hit are displayed as circles, if the second special symbol is changing the loss, it is determined whether the first special symbol is a big hit or a loss in the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is correct. It is possible. In FIG. 57 (b), since the big hit is displayed as a cross and the loss is displayed as a circle, when the second special symbol is changing the small hit, it is determined that the first special symbol is lost or not. The Further, in FIG. 63 (b), the big hit is displayed as a cross and the loss is displayed as a circle. Therefore, when the second special symbol is changing to be a big hit, it is determined that the first special symbol is lost or not. The

63 (c) and FIG. 63 (d), this is performed when one of the first special symbols or the second special symbols is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, a small hit symbol, or a big hit symbol. The control of the other special symbol during fluctuation will be described.
First, a description will be given with reference to FIG. When the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing second special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues. In addition, when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol, measurement of the variation time of the second special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the second special symbol.

Next, a description will be given with reference to FIG. When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a lost symbol, the changing first special symbol is not limited at all, and the variable display continues. In addition, when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time is interrupted for the first special symbol that is in the process of changing the loss. Then, when the small hit game is executed based on the small hit game and the specific area 104 is won during the small hit game, the special area 104 is won after the transferred big hit game ends or during the small hit game. If not, measurement of the interrupted variation time is resumed after the small hit game ends. And when it reaches the predetermined fluctuation time, it stops at the lost symbol.
When the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol during the loss variation is interrupted. Then, after the big hit game ends, the measurement of the variation time is resumed. When the predetermined variation time is reached, the lost symbol stops at the first special symbol.

  According to the ball and ball game machine having the other configuration of the third embodiment or the third embodiment, the first special symbol display control means and the second special symbol display control means can be changed simultaneously, but the other is a big hit at the time of determination of success or failure. When the change display is performed, it is not determined that the game is a big hit, so the player is not confused. In addition, if the special symbol of the other one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is judged to be a big hit or a small hit variation, it is judged as a loss and is always displayed as a final decision. Will not confuse the player.
