An example of an operation method such as the probability setting SW 95 will be described.
First, when a key is inserted into the probability setting SW 95 and rotated in a predetermined direction (for example, rightward) and the power is turned on in the rotated state, the probability setting can be changed. Then, the setting change button 96 can be pressed to select one of the setting values 1 to 3. Each time the setting change button 96 is pressed, numerical values from 1 to 3 are sequentially displayed on the first special symbol display 9. Thereby, a favorite setting value can be selected. Although the setting information is displayed on the first special symbol display 9, it may be displayed on another symbol display or on the effect symbol display device 6. If the effect symbol display device 6 is used for display, the display area is simply large so that it can be easily confirmed. However, the setting change button 96 is on the back of the gaming machine, whereas the display surface of the effect symbol display device 6 is on the front. If the function of the change button 96 is provided, probability setting can be performed while viewing the display surface of the effect symbol display device 6. Moreover, in the case of the effect symbol display device 6, the structure which displays the mode screen for exclusive use which alert | reports that it is the state which can change a probability setting may be sufficient. Moreover, the structure which provides the setting value display apparatus for exclusive use for displaying a setting value may be sufficient.

Then, by rotating the key inserted in the probability setting SW 95 and returning it to the initial position, that is, by performing a probability setting confirmation operation, the probability setting value is confirmed, and the probability setting can be changed. The ready state is finished.
When the state in which the probability setting can be changed is completed, main controller 80 transmits a setting command including information such as a setting value for which the probability is set to the sub integrated control device. In the case of a configuration for displaying on the effect symbol display device 6, when the probability setting SW95 is operated, the probability setting screen is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 to display the probability setting screen. It is conceivable that a signal is transmitted every time an operation is performed. Thereby, the sub integrated control device 83 can grasp which set value of the set value 1 to the set value 3 is set with probability.

  In this embodiment, a key is inserted into the probability setting SW 95 and rotated in a predetermined direction (for example, right direction), and the power is turned on in the rotated state, so that the pachinko at the time of power interruption stored in the RAM is turned on. Information related to the gaming state of the machine 50 is deleted. It should be noted that the information on the set value is not erased even if the RAM is cleared, and is retained. It may be configured to be deleted if a dedicated operation is performed, or may be configured to delete information on the set value when the RAM is cleared.

  There is no need to insert the key into the probability setting SW 95 and rotate it in a predetermined direction (for example, the right direction) and erase the information stored in the RAM at the timing when the power is turned on in the rotated state. Configuration for erasing information relating to gaming state of pachinko machine 50 stored in RAM at timing when operation for determining probability setting is performed or timing at which probability setting can be changed ends But you can. If the configuration is such that the probability setting information is not erased by clearing the RAM, it can be erased after the setting operation is completed. It is preferable to do this.

  When the key is inserted into the probability setting SW 95 and rotated in a predetermined direction (for example, right direction) and the power is turned on in the rotated state, the setting change button 96 can be operated. Instead, the configuration may be such that the setting change button 96 can be operated to turn on the power first and then insert the key into the probability setting SW to rotate it in a predetermined direction (for example, the right direction).

  The probability setting is changed by inserting a key into the probability setting SW 95, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the probability setting may be changed by operating a dedicated button.

  In this embodiment, the probability setting is confirmed by performing a probability setting confirmation operation by rotating the key inserted in the probability setting SW 95 and returning it to the initial position, but the present invention is not limited to this. The configuration may be such that the selected probability setting is confirmed by pressing a dedicated probability setting confirmation button.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine is configured with a main controller 80 as the center. In this block diagram, a so-called relay board and power supply circuit for merely relaying signals are not described. Although not shown in detail, all of the main control device 80, the payout control device 81, the production symbol control device 82, and the sub integrated control device 83 include a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an input port, an output port, and the like. However, in this embodiment, the launch controller 84 is not provided with a CPU, ROM, or RAM. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the launch control device 84 may be provided with a CPU, ROM, RAM, and the like.
Note that the pachinko machine 50 is configured not to include a backup power source that holds the contents of the RAM provided in the sub integrated control device 83.

The power supply board 85 is configured to generate a backup power supply by a backup power supply generation circuit including a capacitor, and the backup power supply is supplied to the RAM of the main controller 80. As a result, the RAM of the main controller 80 can be backed up, and after the power supply to the pachinko machine 50 is stopped, the contents of the RAM of the main controller 80 immediately before the power supply is stopped for a certain time (for example, The game state of the pachinko machine 50 is held.
On the other hand, since the backup power generated by the power supply board 85 of this embodiment is not supplied to the sub integrated control device 83, it is held in the RAM of the sub integrated control device 83 after the power supply to the pachinko machine 50 is stopped. The stored memory is erased.

  The main controller 80 includes a first start port SW (switch) 11a that detects a game ball that has entered the first start port 11, and a second start port SW 12a that detects a game ball that has entered the second start port 12. The normal symbol operation SW 17a for detecting the game ball that has entered the normal symbol operation gate 17 for operating the normal symbol, the count SW 14a for counting the game balls that have entered the big winning port 14, the first left winning port 31, the first 2 A detection signal of the left winning port SW31a for detecting a game ball that has entered the left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, and the right winning port 34 is input.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The launch control device 84 controls the launch motor 30 to launch the game ball into the game area 3. In addition to the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84 receives a rotation amount signal from the launch handle 64, a touch signal from the touch switch 28, and a launch stop signal from the launch stop switch 29.
The rotation amount signal is output when the player operates the launch handle 64, the touch signal is output when the player touches the launch handle 64, and the launch stop switch signal is output by the player pressing the launch stop switch 29. Is output. If the touch signal is not input to the firing control device 84, the game ball cannot be fired. If the fire stop switch signal is input, the game ball cannot be fired even if the player touches the launch handle 64. It is like that.

  The sub-integrated control device 83 corresponds to the sub-control device, receives data and commands transmitted from the main control device 80, distributes them to data for effect display control, sound control and lamp control, The display control command and the like are transmitted to the effect design control device 82, and the sound control and lamp control are distributed to each control part (function unit as a sound control device and a lamp control device) included in the display control command 82. Then, the function unit as the sound control device controls the sound output from the speaker by operating the sound LSI based on the data for sound control, and the function unit as the lamp control device is based on the data for lamp control. The various LED and lamp 26 are controlled by operating the lamp driver. Further, the sub integrated control device 83 is connected with an effect button 67 and a jog dial 68, and when the player operates the effect units 67, 68, the operation signal is input to the sub integrated control device 83. . The jog dial 68 may be connected to the effect symbol control device 82. Further, if the configuration is selectable, it is not necessary to be in the jog dial format, and a configuration in which a cross key type or a plurality of buttons can be selected may be used. Also called system key.

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

  The sub integrated control device 83 includes a timer 97 that provides “hour”, “minute”, and “second” as data. The timer 97 starts counting when the pachinko machine 50 is powered on, and ends counting when the power is shut off. Thereby, the sub integrated control device 83 can grasp the current time. The timer 97 may be mounted on the effect symbol control device 82 or the main control device 80. Further, the device for counting time is not limited to the timer, and may be another device (for example, a real time clock).

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 makes a normal symbol winning / losing lottery due to the ball entering the normal symbol operating gate 17 and starts the normal symbol display device 7 to display the variation determination of the success / failure. If the lottery result is a win, when the winning symbol is confirmed and displayed on the normal symbol display device 7, the ordinary electric accessory is activated and the door member is opened. As a result, it is possible to enter the second starting port 12.
When there is a ball entering the first or second starting port 11 or 12, a random number value is extracted due to this, and the reserved memory corresponding to each special symbol is stored. When one game ball enters the first start port 11, three prize balls are paid out (see FIG. 5). Further, when one game ball enters the second start port 12, one prize ball is paid out (see FIG. 5).
If one game ball enters the other winning holes (the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, the right winning port 34), 10 winning balls will be paid out. (See Figure 5).

Then, whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined is determined based on the stored random number stored in the reserved memory, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 detects the variation of the special symbol. At the same time, the variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol is started on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the present embodiment, the probability (so-called jackpot probability) that is determined to be a big hit by the determination of success / failure will be described later.
If the determination result is a big hit, the big win game with the opening of the big prize opening 14 by confirming and displaying the big win symbol on the display devices 9, 10, 6 (the effect symbol display device 6 is a pseudo effect big hit symbol). To implement.
In addition, the probability that the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit by the determination of success / failure is set to 1/288, and the probability that the second special symbol is determined to be a small hit is set to 1/14. If the determination result is a small hit, the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed on each of the display devices 9 and 10, and the small hit game with the opening of the big winning opening is executed. The effect symbol display device 6 stops in a manner of notifying that the pseudo effect symbol is a small hit.

  The big hit game is composed of a plurality of round games (for example, 8 rounds, 10 rounds, and 16 rounds). The condition for completing one round game is that the opening time of the grand prize opening 14 has reached a predetermined time (for example, 28 seconds) or a predetermined number in the big prize opening 14 (see FIG. 5). ) It is a condition that either one of the winning prizes is satisfied. In addition, when one game ball wins the grand prize opening 14, 15 prize balls are obtained (see FIG. 5).

  After the big hit game, there is a case where the winning probability of the special symbol determination is changed to a high probability gaming state (hereinafter also referred to as a probable change state). In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of jackpot games are provided, and the probability of entering a probability change state after the jackpot game ends (so-called probability change rush rate) is set to 65% (see FIG. 5).

  In addition, after the big hit game is finished, the time shortening function for shortening the variation time of the special symbol and the variation time of the normal symbol and the opening extension function for extending the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory that opens the second start port 12 are activated. There is a case where a short-time gaming state (hereinafter, also referred to as a short-time state) is entered and a game state is entered that is advantageous for the next jackpot acquisition. In the normal gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 1/5, and the winning probability of the normal symbol in the short-time gaming state is set to 4/5 (see FIG. 5). In addition, the ordinary electric actor in the normal gaming state is configured to release once for 0.1 seconds, and the ordinary electric actor in the short-time gaming state is configured to release once for 2.2 seconds ( (See Figure 5)

  In the case of this embodiment, in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the number of changes in the special symbol (= the number of times of the determination of success / failure) in the high-probability gaming and the short-time gaming state is 100 times (see FIG. 5). It is continued until it reaches (see)), and it returns to the normal gaming state by this time limit.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50, the pre-reading determination of the reserved storage is performed before the determination of whether or not the big hit is made. In relation to the pre-reading determination, a plurality of types of pre-reading symbols are displayed as holding symbols indicating the presence of the reserved memory and the number of reserved memories displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. By displaying the symbol, not only the presence / absence of the possibility of being a big hit by the corresponding reserved memory, the size of the possibility, but also the pre-reading effect that suggests the set value set with the probability is performed.

Here, the jackpot probability, which is a lottery probability when determining whether or not to win a jackpot in the special symbol success / failure determination process described later in this embodiment, will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of types of setting values corresponding to different jackpot probabilities (see FIG. 5). There are three types of setting values from setting value 1 to setting value 3. By operating the above-described probability setting SW 95 and setting change button 96, the hole can be changed by selecting any setting value. ing.

  The jackpot probability is set to 1/200 at the set value 1, 1/250 at the set value 2, and 1/285 at the set value 3 in the low-probability gaming state (see FIG. 5). In the high probability gaming state, the setting value 1 is set to 1/20, the setting value 2 is set to 1/25, and the setting value 3 is set to 1 / 28.5 (see FIG. 5). Thus, if the set value increases, the jackpot probability increases, and the payout rate varies depending on the set value. In this embodiment, the small hit probability is uniform for all set values. However, the probability is not limited to this, and may be different depending on the set value.

  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 “3999”, it returns to the initial value “0” in the next processing, and 4000 integers from “0” to “3999” are repeatedly generated in ascending order.

The big hit determination random number update process (S25) subsequent to S20 is an increment process that increments by one each time the process is executed, similar to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is "3999", the next process starts with the next process. Returning to the value of “0”, 4000 integers from “0” to “3999” 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 jackpot determination random number is updated as “250” “251” “252”... “3999” “0” “1”.
When the set value 1 is set, in the normal probability gaming state, the number of values that are jackpots is 20 (the jackpot probability 1/200 shown in FIG. 5). When the set value 1 is set, the number 200 of jackpot values in the high probability gaming state (the jackpot probability 1/20 shown in FIG. 5).
When the set value 2 is set, the number 16 of jackpot values (the jackpot probability 1/250 shown in FIG. 5) in the normal probability gaming state. When the set value 2 is set, the number 160 of jackpot values in the high-probability gaming state (the jackpot probability 1/25 shown in FIG. 5).
When the set value 3 is set, the number 14 of jackpot values (the jackpot probability 1/285 shown in FIG. 5) in the normal probability gaming state. Further, when the set value 3 is set, the number 140 of jackpot values (the jackpot probability 1 / 28.5 shown in FIG. 5) in the high probability gaming state.

When the big hit determining random number is updated once (4000 times), the initial random number value at that time is set as the initial value of the big hit determining random number, and the big hit determining 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”, it changes to “249” “87” “88”... “3999” “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 54 integers “1” to “54”, and is incremented by +1 for each process and is the initial value “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 (also referred to as the low 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, the values are “0” to “4”, the number of values that reach in the high probability state is 6, and the values are “0” to “5”.

  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 12 and input processing of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed.
In this embodiment, when the game ball wins the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, a plurality of random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. are acquired. However, the number that can be reserved is limited to 4 at the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, respectively, and when the reserved memory is full, the game ball is stored in the first start port 11 or the second start port 11. (2) Even if a winning is made at the start port 12, only a prize 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) ends, each output process (S60) such as an image output process is subsequently executed.
In each output process (S60), as the game progresses, the main control device 80 controls the production symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, the big prize opening solenoid 14b, and the like. Each output process is executed. 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 subsequent fraud monitoring process (S65) is a process for monitoring whether or not fraud is being performed on the normal winning opening (the first left winning opening 31, the second left winning opening 32, the third left winning opening 33, the right winning opening 34). The process of determining whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number, and if so, is determined to be fraudulent and notifying that effect It is. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

  The above-described remaining process 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. 6 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 (4000 patterns from 0 to 3999) when the big hit determination random number has made one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/4000. The hit determination random number update process (S35) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The winning confirmation process in S50 is as shown in FIG. 7, and the main controller 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting port 11 based on the detection signal of the first starting port switch 11a. Judgment is made (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this embodiment) It is determined whether the number is 4) (S105).

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), each random number is stored as the first reserved memory, the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110), and the process proceeds to S115. And migrate. In S110, a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the first hold memory is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the reserved number command, and displays the reserved symbol corresponding to the first reserved memory on the effect symbol display device 6.

In the first look-ahead determination process of S115, it is determined whether or not the random number for determination of success / failure stored in the reserved storage of the first special symbol corresponds to the jackpot. When it is determined that the game corresponds to a big hit, a prefetch command indicating a big hit is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. When it is determined that it does not correspond to the big hit, the main controller 80 changes to the sub-integrated controller 83, the reach is out (out, but there is a reach display), or the super reach is lost (is lost, but the super reach is displayed) Sends a pre-read command that contains data such as whether or not there is no reach display.
The pre-read command may be combined with the above-described reserved number command and transmitted as one command. When the transmission timing is the same and the production is performed with the reserved symbol, it is preferable because the relevance is high. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S120.

  If there are already four first hold memories (S105: yes), no hold is stored, and the process proceeds to S120 without increasing the number of lighting of the first special symbol hold number display device 18.

  When it is determined that the game ball is not in the first start port 11 (S100: no), the process also proceeds to S120, and the game ball is input to the second start port 12 based on the detection signal of the second start port switch 12a. It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. If the determination is affirmative (S120: 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 S125, it is determined whether the number is four.

  If the second reserved memory is not full (S125: no), the above random numbers are stored as the second reserved memory, the number of lighting of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S130), and the process proceeds to S135. And migrate. In S130, a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the second hold memory is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the second hold memory.

In the second look-ahead determination process of S135, it is determined whether or not the random number for determination of success / failure stored in the reserved storage of the second special symbol corresponds to the jackpot. When it is determined that the game corresponds to a big hit, a prefetch command indicating a big hit is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. When it is determined that it does not correspond to the big hit, the main control device 80 loses reach to the sub-integrated control device 83 (out of reach but with reach display), super reach lose (with loss but with super reach display) Then, a prefetch command indicating any one of the deviations without reach display is transmitted.
The pre-read command may be combined with the above-described reserved number command and transmitted as one command. When the transmission timing is the same and the production is performed with the reserved symbol, it is preferable because the relevance is high. Thereafter, this process is terminated (returned).

  If there are already four second hold memories (S125: yes), the second hold is not stored, and the present process is terminated (returned) without increasing the number of lighting of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. Moreover, this process is complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 2nd starting port 12 (S120: no).

  In the determination process shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, first, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating based on the big hit flag (S150). If the determination in S150 is negative, the special symbol is not changing (S155: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S160: no), the second reserved memory (the above-described reserved memory in S130 of FIG. 7) is set. It is determined whether or not there is (S165).

  If there is this reserved memory (S165: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S170), and the process proceeds to S185. If there is no second reserved memory (S165: no), it is determined whether there is a first reserved memory (the above-mentioned reserved memory in S110 of FIG. 7) (S175). If there is the first reserved memory (S175: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S180), and the process proceeds to S185. If there is no first hold memory (S175: no), the process directly proceeds to the big hit game process.

In S185, the second hold memory (however, if the second hold exists, the second hold takes precedence even if the first hold is older) is read (the hold memory is deleted), and the probability change flag is set. It is determined whether it is present (that is, 1). Here, the probability variation flag of 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S185: yes), the read jackpot determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S190), and the process proceeds to S200 in FIG.
In the present embodiment, in S190, main controller 80 performs a lottery determination with reference to the jackpot determination value in the current setting (see FIG. 5).
If the determination is negative (S185: no), the read jackpot determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S195), and the process proceeds to S200 in FIG. In the present embodiment, in S195, the main control device 80 performs a lottery determination with reference to the jackpot determination value in the current setting (see FIG. 5). The ratio of entering the high-probability gaming state after the big hit is set to 65%.

  In S200 of FIG. 9, main controller 80 determines whether or not a big hit is made based on the determination in S190 or S195. If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the big hit symbol is determined by a big hit symbol determining random number. (S205). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the variation pattern determination process (S210). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by a variation pattern determination random number.

  After performing the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S215), and then the process proceeds to S250. The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design, the gaming status after the jackpot (whether there is a probability change or opening extension, etc.) and information about the jackpot game (opening time, opening pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) To get.

  If it is determined in S200 that the player has come off (S200: no), the process proceeds to S220, and it is determined whether or not a small hit is made (S220). This compares the extracted jackpot determination random number value with a table storing a predetermined small hit value. If the determination is affirmative (S220: yes), the small hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S225), and the process proceeds to S230. The small hit probability of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) of the present embodiment is 1/288. Thereafter, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S230).

After the variation pattern is determined in the variation pattern determination process in S230, the process proceeds to the small hit setting process in S235, and the process proceeds to S250.
The small hit setting process of S235 is to acquire information related to the small hit game (start interval of the small hit game, opening pattern of the big winning opening 14, end interval of the small hit game), and subtract the number of time reduction or probability change. It is processing.

  If it is determined in S220 that it is not a small hit (S220: no), a fluctuation pattern is determined by a random number for fluctuation pattern determination (S240), a loss setting process (S245) is performed, and the process merges with S250. In the loss setting process of S245, a process of subtracting the number of time reductions and the number of probability changes is performed.

Subsequent to S215, S235, or S245, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, whether or not a normal big hit, a probable big hit, a small hit, the type of a small hit, a reach failure (there is a release but a reach display) Then, a change start command (display control command) including data indicating any one of non-reach display and change pattern data specifying the change time is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S250), and the big hit game process is executed. Transition. The sub integrated control device 83 determines an effect to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 from among a plurality of types of effects based on the received change start command. Thereafter, the effect symbol display device 6 starts to display the effect symbol variation, but the main controller 80 also starts the variation of the special symbol almost simultaneously. The effect symbol display device 6 executes effect display based on the variation pattern, and displays various notices and reach effects whether the player is hit or missed. The player can grasp the degree of expectation for winning by seeing the notice and the reach production.
The main control device 80 according to the present embodiment transmits a setting command including information such as a setting value set with probability to the sub integrated control device at the time of starting the change of the special symbol. Thereby, the sub integrated control device 83 can grasp any one of the setting values set with probability among the setting values 1 to 3 shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in S155 of FIG. 8 that the special symbol is changing (S155: yes), the process proceeds to S300 of FIG. 10 and whether the symbol change time (based on the change pattern of S210, S230, or S240) has elapsed. Determine whether or not. In the case of a negative determination (S300: no), the process directly proceeds to the big hit game process. In the case of an affirmative determination (S300: yes), the big hit game process is performed after the confirmed symbol display process (S305). 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 sent to the first special symbol display device 9 and the second special symbol display device 10. Output and stop at the fixed symbol.

  If it is determined in S160 in FIG. 8 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. 11 to determine whether the display time of the confirmed symbol has ended. In the case of a negative determination (S350: no), a big hit game process is performed. If the determination is affirmative (S350: yes), the display of the confirmed symbol is terminated (S355), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a symbol that is a big hit (S360). If an affirmative determination is made (S360: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is 1 (S365). If the probability variation flag is 1 (S365: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S370, and the process proceeds to S375. If the probability variation flag is not 1 (S365: no), the process proceeds to S375. In S375, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1. If the time reduction flag is 1 (S375: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S380, and the process proceeds to S390. If the time flag is not 1 (S375: no), the process proceeds to S390.

  In S390, a special symbol determination time (600 ms) indicating a state designation command indicating whether the main control device 80 is changing the current gaming state or whether the current gaming state is an open extension state or the like. The data is later transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to S395.

  In S395, the big hit flag is set by the conditional device operation start processing. In subsequent S400, the accessory continuous operation device is operated to perform a big hit game start process (S405). 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 game start process ends, the big hit game process is performed.

If it is determined in S360 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win (S360: no), it is determined whether the probability variation flag is 1 (S410) or 1 (S410: yes). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation number is 0 (S415). If the probability variation number is 0 (S415: yes), the probability variation flag is set to 0 in S420 and the process proceeds to S425. When the probability variation flag is not 1 (S410: no) or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S415: no), the processing proceeds to S425 as it is.
In S425, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S425: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of time reductions is 0 (S430). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S430: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S435, and the process proceeds to S440. When the time reduction flag is not 1 (S425: no) or when the time reduction count is not 0 (S430: no), the process proceeds to S440 as it is.

In S440, the main controller 80 performs sub-integrated control after a special symbol determination time (600 ms) indicating a state designation command indicating whether the current gaming state is definitely changing, whether it is in the open extension state, or the like. The game is transmitted to the device 83, and the big hit game process is executed.
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 success / failure determination process is after the special symbol determination time, but at the time of the special symbol change start and power recovery In this case, a state designation command may be transmitted.

  Thereafter, in S445, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a symbol that is a small hit (S445). If the confirmed special symbol is not a symbol that is a small hit (S445: no), the process returns as it is. If the special symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a symbol that is a small hit (S445: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory is started (S450), and a small hit game start process (S455) is performed. In the small hit game start process (S455), 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 ends, the process shifts to the big hit game process.

  In the big hit game process shown in FIG. 12, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous action device is operating based on the big hit flag (S500). When the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S500: no), the process proceeds to the small hit game processing. If the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S500: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S505). If the big prize opening 14 is not being opened (S505: no), it is determined whether the big prize opening 14 is closed during the interval between rounds (S510). If it is not during the interval (S510: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S515). If this is also a negative determination (S515: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the production to start the big hit game has passed (S520). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S520: yes), the big winning opening opening process (S525) is performed and this process is terminated. If the time required to produce the jackpot game has not elapsed (S520: no), the jackpot game process is terminated as it is.

  If it is determined in S505 that the big prize opening 14 is being opened (S505: yes), the process proceeds to S550 in FIG. 13 and it is determined whether or not ten big prize openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When ten winning prizes 14 are won (S550: yes), the process proceeds to S560, and the big winning prize closing process is performed. Then, a big hit interval process (S565) is performed, and the big hit game process is terminated. If ten prizes have not been won in the big prize opening 14 (S550: no), the process proceeds to S555, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the big prize opening 14 has ended. In this embodiment, in the case of big hits in 8 rounds, 10 rounds, and 16 rounds, the maximum open time of each round is set to 28 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to these seconds. When the opening time is over (S555: yes), the process merges with S560, and when it is not over (S555: no), the big hit game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S510 in FIG. 12 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S570 in FIG. 13 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S570: yes), it is determined whether or not the last round was the last winning opening 14 opened (S575). If it is the final round (S575: yes), a big hit end effect process (S580) is performed, and the big hit game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S575: no), the process of opening the big winning opening 14 is again performed (S585), and the big hit game process is terminated. If it is determined that the jackpot interval time has not elapsed (S570: no), the jackpot game process is terminated. In the process of opening / closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

If it is determined in S515 in FIG. 12 that the big hit end effect is being performed (S515: yes), the process proceeds to S600 in FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. In the case of negative determination (S600: no), the process returns as it is. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S600: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S605), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S610). Then, it is determined whether or not the next game state acquired in S215 in FIG. Then, when shifting to probability variation and time reduction (S615: yes), the number of probability variation and time reduction are set (S630), the probability variation flag and time reduction flag are set to 1 (S635), and the process proceeds to S640.
In this case, after the big hit game is over, the state is shifted to the probability change state and the open extension state. In the probability variation / time reduction count setting process (S630), the probability variation count is set to 100. In addition, the number of time reductions is set to 100 times, and the time reduction guarantees the continuation of the special symbol up to 100 times. The “probability change / time reduction number setting process” means a probability change number setting process and a time reduction number setting process.
When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. 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 release extension function are set. The high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state are continued until, for example, the number of special symbol fluctuations (the number of executions of the success / failure determination) that accompanies the success / failure determination reaches 100 times, and the probability change / short-time limiter is activated by this time limit. Thus, the normal game state (low probability game state and non-open extended state) is restored. “Probability change / short time limiter” means a probability change limiter and a short time limiter.

  In S615, after the big hit game is over, when the probabilistic state is not changed and only the open extended state is changed (S615: no), the time reduction number is set (S620), and the time reduction flag is set to “1” (S625). ), The process proceeds to S640. In this case, after the big hit game is over, the state is shifted to the open extended state. In S620, main controller 80 sets the number of time reductions to 100. Note that the short-time gaming state is continued until, for example, the number of changes in the special symbol accompanying the determination of success / failure (the number of executions of the determination of success / failure) reaches 100 times. It is configured to return.

  In S640, the main control device 80 transmits a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83, transmits a state designation command to the sub integrated control device 83 (S645), and ends the jackpot game process.

Next, in S500 of FIG. 11, when it is determined that the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S500: no), the small hit game process to be transferred will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in S650, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is in operation (S650). In the case of negative determination (S650: no), this processing is terminated as it is. If the special electric accessory is operating (S650: yes), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is open (S655). When the big prize opening 14 is not being opened (S655: no), it is determined whether the big prize opening 14 is closed during the interval (S660). If it is not during the interval (S660: no), it is determined whether the small hit end effect is being performed (S665). If this is also a negative determination (S665: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the effect of starting the small hit game has elapsed (S670). If the small hit start effect time has elapsed (S670: yes), the special winning opening opening process (S675) is performed and this process is terminated. If the time required for the effect of starting the small hit game has not elapsed (S670: no), the process ends as it is (return).

  If it is determined in S655 that the big prize opening 14 is open (S655: yes), the process proceeds to S700 in FIG. 16 and it is determined whether or not ten big prize openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When 10 winning prizes 14 are won (S700: yes), the process proceeds to S710, and the closing prize closing process is performed. Then, the big hit interval process (S715) is performed, and the process ends. If ten winning prize openings 14 have not been won (S700: no), the process proceeds to S705, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the big winning opening 14 has ended. In this embodiment, the maximum opening time is set to 0.9 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S705: yes), the process merges with S710, and when the opening time is not over (S705: no), the processing is over.

  When it is determined in S660 in FIG. 15 that the interval is in progress (S660: yes), the process proceeds to S720 in FIG. 16 to determine whether or not the small hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S720: yes), it is determined whether the specified number has been released or whether 10 game balls have been won (S725). If the determination is affirmative (S725: yes), a small hit end effect process (S730) is performed and the process ends. In the case of negative determination (S725: no), the process of opening the special winning opening 14 is performed again (S735), and the process is ended. If it is determined that the small hit interval time has not elapsed (S720: no), the process ends. In the process of opening / closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 performs an effect according to the signal.

  When it is determined in S665 in FIG. 15 that the small hit end effect is being performed (S665: yes), the process proceeds to S740 in FIG. 16 to determine whether or not the small hit end effect time has elapsed. In the case of negative determination (S740: no), the process returns as it is. When the small hit end effect time has elapsed (S740: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory is stopped (S745), the small hit interval process (S747) is performed, and the process returns.

Next, the reserved symbol display process of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not a prefetch command has been received (S750). If the determination is affirmative (S750: yes), it is determined whether to change the display mode of the reserved symbols displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (S755). In the case of an affirmative determination (S755: yes), the contents of the prefetch command are referred to (S760), and the set value with the probability set is set from the set value 1 to the set value 3 from the contents of the set command received from the main controller 80. (S765), and the process proceeds to S770.
In S770, the main controller 80 displays on the effect symbol display device 6 from the prefetched symbols shown in FIG. 18B based on the type of the prefetched command referenced in S760 and the result referred to in S765. The pre-read symbol to be selected is selected (S770), and the process proceeds to S780. When the display mode of the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the normal reserved symbol (S755: no), the normal reserved symbol shown in FIG. 18B is selected (S775), and the process proceeds to S780. To do.
In S780, the sub integrated control device 83 displays the reserved symbol determined in S770 or S775 on the effect symbol display device 6 (S780), and ends this processing. If a prefetch command has not been received (S750: no), this process is terminated.

The appearance rate of the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect display device 6 when the set value is set to the probability of the set value 1 (1/200) will be described with reference to FIG.
When the probability is set at the setting value 1 (1/200), the winning is performed with the probability indicated by the “appearance rate” in the table shown in FIG. In addition, the pseudo effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is the probability indicated by the “appearance rate” in the table, and is SP reach (super reach), reach (normal reach), lose (super reach and normal reach). Will be lost in the big hit lottery without).

As the types of reserved symbols corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the normal reserved symbols described in the table of FIG. 18B and the prefetched symbols A to J are provided.
The display mode of the normally reserved symbol of the first special symbol is a white circle. The display mode of the normally reserved symbol of the second special symbol is a white square. In addition, although the aspect is changed with the 1st special symbol and the 2nd special symbol, the same aspect may be sufficient.
In addition, the display mode of the prefetched symbol A corresponding to the first special symbol is such that “!” Is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the prefetched symbol A corresponding to the second special symbol is such that “!” Is displayed in a white square.
The display mode of the prefetched symbol B corresponding to the first special symbol is a black circle. The display mode of the prefetched symbol B corresponding to the second special symbol is a black square.
The display mode of the look-ahead design C of the first special design is such that “★” is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the look-ahead design C of the second special design is such that “★” is displayed in a white square.
The display mode of the pre-reading symbol D corresponding to the first special symbol is such that “certain” is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the prefetched symbol D corresponding to the second special symbol is such that “certain” is displayed in a white square.
The display mode of the prefetched symbol E corresponding to the first special symbol is such that “high” is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the prefetched symbol E corresponding to the second special symbol is such that “high” is displayed in a white square.
The display mode of the prefetched symbol F corresponding to the first special symbol is such that “low” is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the prefetched symbol F corresponding to the second special symbol is such that “low” is displayed in a white square.
The display mode of the prefetched symbol G corresponding to the first special symbol is such that “1” is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the prefetched symbol G corresponding to the second special symbol is such that “1” is displayed in a white square.
The display mode of the prefetched symbol H corresponding to the first special symbol is such that “(1)” is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the prefetched symbol H corresponding to the second special symbol is such that “(1)” is displayed in a white square.
The display mode of the prefetched symbol I corresponding to the first special symbol is such that 1 surrounded by a square in a white circle is displayed. Note that the prefetch symbol I is a prefetch symbol used only for the first special symbol.
The display mode of the prefetched symbol J corresponding to the second special symbol is such that 1 surrounded by a square is displayed in a white rectangle. Note that the prefetch symbol J is a prefetch symbol used only for the second special symbol.

Next, with reference to FIG. 19, the appearance rate of the reach effect or the like when the reserved symbol is displayed and the expected value when the reserved symbol is displayed will be described.
Any one of the normal reserved symbols corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the prefetch symbol A to the prefetch symbol J is displayed with the probability indicated by the “appearance rate” in the table of FIG. 19, and the prefetch symbol When any one of A to prefetched symbols G is displayed, a big hit is generated by the reserved storage at the probability indicated by the “expected value” in the table.

  As shown in FIG. 19, a normal reserved symbol is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, the reserved memory corresponding to the normal reserved symbol is digested, and the result of the determination of success or failure is a big hit without becoming super reach or normal reach. The probability of appearing to be missed by lottery is set to 200/200.

  In the case of a normal reserved symbol, the normal reserved symbol is digested, and the ratio of occurrence of reach (normal reach) due to losing from the determination result is set to 150/200. Further, when a game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-read symbol A, it corresponds to the pre-read symbol A. The ratio at which reach (normal reach) appears as a result of losing the reserved memory and losing from the determination result is set to 50/200.

Next, in the case of a normal reserved symbol, the normal reserved symbol is digested, and the ratio of occurrence of SP reach (super reach) due to losing from the determination result is set to 150/200.
Further, when a game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-read symbol A, it corresponds to the pre-read symbol A. The ratio at which SP reach (super reach) appears due to the loss of the reserved memory and the result of the determination as to whether or not is correct is set to 20/200.
When a game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-read symbol B, the reserved memory corresponding to the pre-read symbol B The rate at which SP reach (super reach) appears due to a loss from the result of the determination is set to 20/200.
When a game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-read symbol C, the reserved memory corresponding to the pre-read symbol C is stored. The rate at which SP reach (super reach) appears due to a loss from the result of the determination is set to 10/200.

Next, in the case of a normal holding symbol, the normal holding symbol is digested, and the rate at which the effect of notifying that it is a big hit and a big hit from the result of the determination of success / failure appears is set to 100/200.
When a game ball enters the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the look-ahead symbol A, it is a big hit based on the result of the determination of success / failure. The ratio at which the effect of notifying that is present is set to 10/200. When a game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-read symbol B, it is a big hit based on the result of the determination of success / failure. The ratio at which the effect of notifying that is appearing is set to 20/200. When a game ball enters the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-read symbol C, it is a big hit based on the result of the determination of success / failure. The ratio at which the effect of notifying that appears is set to 30/200. A game ball enters the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, and the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is any one of the pre-read symbol D, the pre-read symbol E, the pre-read symbol F, or the pre-read symbol G. In this case, the ratio at which the effect of notifying that it is a big hit and the big hit from the result of the determination is set to 10/200.

The “expected value” in the table shown in FIG. 19 is an item indicating “win / fail ratio” and “reliability” when a normal reserved symbol and a look-ahead symbol appear.
The “win / fail ratio” in the “expected value” shown in FIG. 19 is a case in which each result pattern (lost, reach, super reach, jackpot) results in a loss as a result of the success / failure determination by the corresponding holding storage. The ratio in case of big hit is shown. Further, the “reliability” shown in FIG. 19 indicates the probability of being determined as a big hit as a result of the determination of success / failure by the reserved storage.
Therefore, the table shown in FIG. 19 shows that the most reliable prefetch symbols among the seven types of prefetch symbols from prefetch symbol A to prefetch symbol G are prefetch symbol D, prefetch symbol E, prefetch symbol F, and prefetch symbol G. is there. The prefetch symbol having the next highest reliability after the prefetch symbol D, the prefetch symbol E, the prefetch symbol F, and the prefetch symbol G is the prefetch symbol C. Next to the prefetch symbol C, the prefetch symbol having the highest reliability is the prefetch symbol B. Of the seven types of prefetched symbols from prefetched symbol A to prefetched symbol G, the prefetched symbol with the lowest reliability is prefetched symbol A.
The look-ahead symbol H, the look-ahead symbol I, and the look-ahead symbol J are look-ahead symbols that suggest only the set values for which the probability is set.

  The look-ahead symbol in this embodiment suggests the degree of expectation as to whether or not it will be a big hit, but it is not limited to this. For example, the probability variation big hit that shifts to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game is completed The structure which suggests that it may be sufficient.

Next, the relationship between the hold symbol displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 and the set value set with the probability will be described.
As shown in FIG. 20, a normal reserved symbol corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. When the normal holding symbol is displayed, the set value is any one of the set value 1 to the set value 3. The normal reserved symbol does not suggest a set value set with probability.
As shown in FIG. 20, a prefetch symbol A, a prefetch symbol B, a prefetch symbol C, and a prefetch symbol D corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol may be displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The pre-read symbol A to the pre-read symbol D suggest that the set value with the probability set is any one of the set value 1 to the set value 3.
As shown in FIG. 20, a prefetched symbol E corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The look-ahead design E suggests that the set value for which the probability is set is the set value 1 or the set value 2.
As shown in FIG. 20, the look-ahead symbol F corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The look-ahead design F suggests that the set value with the probability set is set value 2 or set value 3.
As shown in FIG. 20, the pre-read symbol G and the pre-read symbol H corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol are displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The prefetching symbol G and the prefetching symbol H suggest that the setting value set with probability is the setting value 1.
As shown in FIG. 20, the look-ahead symbol I corresponding to the first special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The look-ahead design I suggests that the set value for which the probability is set is the set value 1.
As shown in FIG. 20, a prefetched symbol J corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The look-ahead design I suggests that the set value for which the probability is set is the set value 1.

  With reference to FIG. 21, a description will be given of the difference in the prefetched symbols displayed according to the set value set with the probability for the content of one prefetch command.

First, FIG. 21A illustrates the prefetch symbol G that is displayed when the jackpot is determined from the content of the prefetch command and the set value set with the probability is the set value 1 (1/200).
As shown in FIG. 21A, a pseudo effect symbol 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Below the pseudo effect design 1000, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. A first reserved symbol 1002, a second reserved symbol 1003, and a third reserved symbol 1004 are displayed on the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The display mode of the third reserved symbol 1004 corresponds to the pre-read symbol G because “1” is displayed in a white circle. The prefetch symbol G informs that the jackpot is confirmed from the content of the prefetch command, and suggests that the probability is set to the set value 1 (1/200). As a result, the player recognizes that the jackpot is confirmed, and grasps that the set value set with the probability is the set value 1, so that the player can continue to play the game even after the jackpot. .

Next, FIG. 21B is displayed when the big hit is confirmed from the contents of the prefetch command and the set value set with the probability is the set value 1 (1/200) or the set value 2 (1/250). The pre-reading symbol E will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21 (b), a pseudo effect symbol 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Below the pseudo effect design 1000, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. A first reserved symbol 1002, a second reserved symbol 1003, and a third reserved symbol 1004 are displayed on the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The display mode of the third reserved symbol 1004 corresponds to the pre-read symbol E because “high” is displayed in a white circle. The prefetch symbol E notifies that the big hit is confirmed from the content of the prefetch command, and suggests that the probability is set to the set value 1 (1/200) or the set value 2 (1/250), that is, the high setting. . This makes it easier for the player to guess that the set value set with probability is the set value 1 or the set value 2 as well as confirming that it is a big hit, so that the high setting is set even after the jackpot game is over. Knowing that, you will continue to play games.

Next, FIG. 21 (c) shows that the jackpot is determined based on the contents of the prefetch command, and the set value with the probability set is set value 1 (1/200), set value 2 (1/250) or set value 3 (1 The prefetched symbol F displayed in the case of / 285) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21 (c), a pseudo effect symbol 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Below the pseudo effect design 1000, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. A first reserved symbol 1002, a second reserved symbol 1003, and a third reserved symbol 1004 are displayed on the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The display mode of the third reserved symbol 1004 corresponds to the pre-read symbol F because “Cho” is displayed in a white circle. The prefetch symbol F notifies that the jackpot is confirmed from the content of the prefetch command, and suggests that any one of the setting values 1 to 3 is set as a probability. Thereby, the player grasps that the big hit is confirmed.
As shown in FIG. 21, a variety of situations can be created by providing a plurality of types of prefetched symbol display modes.

According to the bullet ball game machine of the first embodiment, the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is a special symbol corresponding to the game ball having entered the starting port from the time of entering the starting port. Since the display is performed across a plurality of variations until the start of the variation, it is possible to increase the degree of recognition of the set value set with probability for the player.
The display mode of the pre-read symbol is selected according to the contents of the pre-read command and the set value of the probability. You can know if you are doing.

  The look-ahead symbol D, the look-ahead symbol E, the look-ahead symbol F, and the look-ahead symbol G shown in FIG. At the time when the symbol is displayed, the reserved memory corresponding to the look-ahead symbol is digested for the player, and until the special symbol starts to change, it is just a digestion time. However, as shown in FIG. 20, the prefetched symbol that suggests that the big hit is fixed is also different in the setting value set with the probability set according to the symbol, so the above-described setting value set with the probability set is notified. It becomes time and becomes meaningful time.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the first embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.
The “numerical data extraction means” and “hold storage means” of the present invention correspond to the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130). Corresponding to the determination process (S50), the “numerical data confirmation means” corresponds to the first prefetch determination process (S115) and the second prefetch determination process (S135), and the “special symbol display control means” is the first special display. Corresponding to the symbol display device 9 and the second special symbol display device 10, the “holding symbol display means” corresponds to the symbol display processing (S780), and the “holding symbol selection means” is the look-ahead symbol selection processing (S770) and This corresponds to the normal reserved symbol selection process (S775).

As another configuration of the first embodiment, when the time counted by the timer 97 mounted on the sub-integrated control device 83 has passed a predetermined time, it is a configuration that suggests a set value set with probability using a pre-read symbol. There may be. For example, until the time counted by the timer 97 passes a predetermined time (for example, 19:00 at night), the setting value set by the prefetched symbol is not suggested, and the time counted by the timer 97 is the predetermined time ( For example, after 19 o'clock in the evening, a set value set with a probability based on a look-ahead symbol may be suggested.
Note that the configuration used to suggest the set value with the probability set by the time counted by the timer 97 is not limited to the first embodiment, but a second embodiment, a third embodiment, and a third embodiment described later. 4, other configurations of Example 5 and Example 5, Example 6 and Example 7 may be combined.
Regardless of the combination of any combination, even if the set value set with the probability is determined by the player, the game hours of the remaining game stores are limited after 19:00 pm. Notification can be made in a state where it is difficult for the store to cause major damage.

Although the reserved symbol displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 of the present embodiment is not configured to change on hold, the configuration is not limited to this, and may be configured to change on hold. For example, a configuration in which the pending change is made according to the contents of the prefetch command and the set value set with the probability included in the set command may be used.
[Example 2]

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.
In the first embodiment, the setting value that is set with the probability using the prefetched symbols is suggested. However, in the second embodiment, the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110), the second extracted random number hold storage process ( In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored in S130), a game is generated by a start-port over winning sound that is output when there is a win in the start-up port (first start-up port 11, second start-up port 12). It is the structure which suggests the setting value by which the probability setting was carried out to the person. Even if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is a normal probability gaming state or a predetermined gaming state (a high probability gaming state, a short-time gaming state), a starting value over winning sound is output, which indicates a set value. It has a configuration.

When the game ball enters the first start port 11 in a state where the first reserved memory stored due to the ball entering the first start port 11 is full, the main controller 80 of the present embodiment. The first winning designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Further, when the game ball enters the second start port 12 in a state where the second reserved memory stored due to the ball entering the second start port 12 is full, the main controller 80 The configuration is such that a 2-winning designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.
The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the first winning designation command or the second winning designation command further notifies that the game ball has entered the start opening in a state where the predetermined number (four) of the hold memory is stored. The start opening over winning sound is output from the speaker 66.

Here, the kind of start opening over winning sound of the second embodiment will be described.
In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port 12) are further stored. When there is a winning, a normal over winning sound is output from the speaker 66. The normal over winning sound does not suggest a set value set with probability.

  Further, in a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port) are further stored. 12) When there is a win, and any of the setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) to the setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set as a probability, any setting is made It is suggested that the value is set as a probability, and a predetermined number (four) of stored storage (first stored storage, second stored storage) is stored, and further start ports (first start port 11, second start) An over winning sound A for notifying that there is a winning in the mouth 12) is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, although the winning sound is different, it can be recognized that the upper limit of the number of reserved memories can be reached, and it can be reported that winning beyond the starting point does not make much sense.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port 12) are further stored. If there is a winning and set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) is set as a probability, set value 1 or set value 2 is a probability. In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored, indicating that the setting has been made and holding storage (first holding storage, second holding storage) is stored, further to the starting port (first starting port 11, second starting port 12) An over-winning sound B for notifying that there has been a winning is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is determined that the setting value 3 is not the most unfavorable (1/285, 1 / 28.5), the player is not an unfavorable setting value, possibly the most advantageous setting value 1 (1 / 200, 1/20), it can be played with expectation.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port 12) are further stored. If the set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) or the set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set as a probability, the set value 2 (1/250) , 1/25) or setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is suggested, and a predetermined number (4) of reserved memory (first reserved memory, second reserved memory) ) In the stored state, an over winning sound C for notifying that there has been a winning at the starting port (the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12) is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, it is determined that it is not the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) as opposed to the winning sound B. Therefore, the player ends the game or the next best setting value 2 It is possible to consider whether to continue the game while expecting that it may be (1/250, 1/25).

  In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port 12) are further stored. If the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) has been set as a probability, it indicates that the set value 1 has been set as a probability and the hold memory (the first hold memory, the second hold) In a state in which a predetermined number (four) of “holding storage” is stored, an over winning sound D for notifying that there has been a winning at the starting port (the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12) is a predetermined amount. Output from the speaker 66 with probability. In the case of winning sound D, since it is determined that the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20), the player tries to continue the game as much as possible while the reserved memory number has reached the upper limit. Can increase motivation.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port 12) are further stored. If the set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) has been set as a probability, a suggestion that the set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) has been set as a probability is set. Notifying that there is a prize for the starting port (first starting port 11, second starting port 12) in a state where the predetermined number (four) of stored (first reserved memory, second reserved memory) is stored. The over winning sound E is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous, it can be used as a study material whether or not to continue the game depending on the development.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port 12) are further stored. If there is a winning and the set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set as a probability, the set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set as a probability In a state where a predetermined number (four) of hints and hold memories (first hold memory, second hold memory) is stored, there is further a prize for the start opening (first start opening 11 and second start opening 12). An over-winning sound F is notified from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is determined that the setting value is the most unfavorable, it can be used as a judgment material for stopping the game.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored by the first extracted random number hold storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number hold storage process (S130), the start ports (first start port 11, second start port 12) are further stored. If the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or the set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set as a probability, the set value 1 (1/200) , 1/20) or set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) suggesting that the probability has been set, and a predetermined number (four) of reserved memory (first reserved memory, second reserved memory) is stored. In such a state, an over winning sound G for notifying that there has been a winning at the starting port (the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12) is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. Since either the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or the most unfavorable setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), the player thinks that the setting value 1 is positive and the game It is possible to determine whether to continue the game or to end the game because there is a risk of setting value 3.

  Note that the over winning sound shown in FIG. 22 is a different winning sound. The over winning sound described above may be configured to be output only in the normal probability gaming state, output in a predetermined gaming state, or output only in the big hit game. Moreover, not only the winning sound but also the effect display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 may be used. For example, if a character is displayed on the screen when over-winning occurs, the player recognizes that over-winning has occurred, and if the player knows which character corresponds to the set value, it is over-winning. It becomes possible to recognize the setting contents together with the recognition of.

According to the ball game machine described in the second embodiment, if a predetermined number (four) of reserved storage (first reserved memory, second reserved memory) is stored, the starting port (first starting port 11) is further stored. In addition, it is possible to output an over winning sound to the second starting port 12) a plurality of times by winning, and the recognition degree of the set value set with probability can be increased.
In addition, with a predetermined number (four) of stored memories (first reserved memory, second reserved memory) stored by the start opening over winning sound, further starting ports (first starting port 11, second starting port 12) are stored. In addition to notifying that a prize has been won, it is possible to give meaning to a start-over-over winning sound that is not meaningful by suggesting a set value with a probability set. Also,

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the second embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.
The “over winning effect” of the present invention corresponds to the normal over winning sound shown in FIG. 22, and the “specific over winning effect” corresponds to the over winning sound G from the over winning sound A shown in FIG.
[Example 3]

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.
In the first embodiment, it is configured to suggest a set value that is set with a probability using a pre-reading design. However, in the third embodiment, it is determined that the result is a big hit, and the game shifts to a big hit game. In the round game effect, the setting value suggested to the player with a predetermined probability is suggested.

  Next, a round game effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the round game will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 23A shows an example of a round game effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 in the fourth round. In this embodiment, there are a plurality of types of round effects displayed during the round game.
In the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a display example 1007 displaying “Don't win game” is displayed. A display example 1007 notifies the player that a big hit game is being played. In addition, a display example 1006 in which “4R” is displayed is displayed. In the center of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. FIG. 23A shows a round effect that is performed during a normal round game because a display example that suggests a set value set with probability is not displayed.

FIG. 23B shows an example of a round game effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 in the fourth round.
In the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a display example 1007 displaying “Don't win game” is displayed. A display example 1007 notifies the player that a big hit game is being played. In addition, a display example 1006 in which “4R” is displayed is displayed. In the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 1001 "Tatsuyoshi bear with glasses" is displayed. In the display example 1008 displayed at the lower right of the effect character 1001, “high setting” is displayed. Display example 1008 informs the player that the set value with probability set is either set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or set value 2 (1/250, 1/25). Yes. Of course, as in other embodiments, instead of notifying the set value such as the set value 1 or 2, or the set value 2 or 3, the willingness and judgment materials to continue the game by performing the suggestion degree. Can be considered.

According to the bullet ball game machine described in the third embodiment, the player can make a round game effect a plurality of times by adopting a configuration that suggests a set value set with a probability in the round game effect performed during the round game. Therefore, the recognition degree of the set value in which the player's probability is set can be increased.
[Example 4]

A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.
In the first embodiment, the setting value that is set with the probability using the look-ahead design is suggested. However, in the fourth embodiment, the number of entrances that exceeds a predetermined number (10) of entrances in one round game. In the case where there is a ball, the set value set with probability is suggested to the player by the winning sound over the winning prize opening to the winning prize opening 14 to be output.

When the main control device 80 of this embodiment reaches the predetermined number of balls (10) in the grand prize opening 14 in one round, when a game ball enters the open big prize opening. The main control device 80 is configured to transmit to the sub-integrated control device 83 a large winning opening winning designation command indicating that the large winning opening has been excessively won.
The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the winning prize winning designation command further outputs a winning prize over winning sound from the speaker 66 informing that the game ball has entered the winning prize opening.
The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the big prize opening prize designation command indicates, with a predetermined probability, which one of the setting value 1 to the setting value 3 is the setting value included in the received setting command. Referring to FIG. 24, one of the over winning sounds G from the over winning sound A shown in FIG. 24 is selected, and the selected winning sound is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability.

The winning prize over winning sound of the fourth embodiment will be described.
When a game ball is won at the open big winning opening in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) is reached in the big winning opening 14, a normal over winning sound is output from the speaker 66. . Note that a normal over winning sound does not suggest a set value with a probability set.

  A game ball enters the open big winning opening 14 in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) is reached in the big winning opening 14, and from the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) If any one of the set values 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set as a probability, the over winning sound A is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, it is possible to simply know that there are more than the prescribed number of winnings in the big prize opening, and the player can know that more than the prescribed number of prize balls have been obtained.

  In addition, in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) has been reached in the big winning opening 14, a game ball enters the open big winning opening 14, and the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) ) Or set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) is set as a probability, the over winning sound B is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In the case of winning sound B, it is determined that the setting value 3 is not the most unfavorable setting value (1/285, 1 / 28.5), so that the player is not an unfavorable setting value, possibly the most advantageous setting value 1 You can play with the expectation that it may be (1/200, 1/20).

  A game ball entered the open big winning opening 14 in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) was reached in the big winning opening 14, and the set value 2 or the set value 3 was set as a probability. In this case, the over winning sound C is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. Contrary to the winning sound B, it is determined that it is not the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20), and the player ends the game when the big hit game ends, or the next best setting value. It is possible to consider whether to continue the game while expecting that it may be 2 (1/250, 1/25).

  A game ball enters the open big winning opening 14 in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) is reached in the big winning opening 14, and the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) is set. When the probability is set, the over winning sound D is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. If the winning sound D is determined to be the most advantageous setting value 1, it is possible to increase the willingness of the player to continue the game as much as possible when the prescribed number or more of the winning balls are generated.

  A game ball enters the open big winning opening 14 in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) is reached in the big winning opening 14, and the set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) is set. When the probability is set, the over winning sound E is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous, it can be used as a study material whether or not to continue the game depending on the development.

  A game ball enters the open big winning opening 14 in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) is reached in the big winning opening 14, and set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5). ) Is set as a probability, the over winning sound F is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is determined that the setting value is the most unfavorable, it can be used as a judgment material for stopping the game when the big hit game is finished.

  A game ball enters the open big winning opening 14 in a state where the predetermined number of balls (10) is reached in the big winning opening 14, and the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or If any one of the setting values 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set as a probability, the over winning sound G is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. Since either the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or the most unfavorable setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), the player thinks that the setting value 1 is positive and the game It is possible to determine whether to continue the game or to end the game because there is a risk of setting value 3.

According to the bullet ball game machine described in the fourth embodiment, since the big hit game is composed of a plurality of rounds, there are a plurality of opportunities to win the game ball at the big winning opening 14 exceeding the prescribed number (10). Yes, it is possible to increase the recognition degree of the set value in which the player's probability is set any number of times.
In addition, when the number of game balls further exceeds the prescribed number in the open large winning opening 14, any of the over winning sound A to the over winning sound G shown in FIG. 24 (see FIG. 24) By outputting from the speaker 66 with a probability, it is possible to recognize the set value with the probability set, so that it is output when a game ball wins more than the prescribed number (10) in the big winning opening 14. It is possible to give meaning to the winning sound over the big winning opening.
[Example 5]

A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.
In the first embodiment, the setting value that is set with the probability using the look-ahead symbol is suggested. However, in the fifth embodiment, in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state that shift after the big hit game is finished, the effect symbol display is performed. By the effect display displayed on the device 6, the setting value set with the probability is suggested to the player.

  An example of the effect display displayed on the first effect symbol display device 6 in the high-probability game state and the short-time game state that shift after the end of the big hit game will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 25 (a) shows an example of a normal effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state that shift after the end of the jackpot game. It should be noted that the set value for which the probability is set is not suggested by the effect display shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 25 (a), a pseudo effect symbol 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Below the pseudo effect design 1000, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. A first reserved symbol 1002, a second reserved symbol 1003, and a third reserved symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed at the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the display example 1005 displayed on the left side of the performance character 1001, “Tatsuyoshi RUSH remaining 80 times” is displayed, and in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the determination of whether or not the special symbol is successful is performed 80 times. It is informed that it will end.

FIG. 25B shows an example of the effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the set value with the probability set is suggested in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state.
As shown in FIG. 25 (b), a pseudo effect symbol 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Below the pseudo effect design 1000, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. A first reserved symbol 1002, a second reserved symbol 1003, and a third reserved symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed at the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the display example 1005 displayed on the left side of the performance character 1001, “Tatsuyoshi RUSH remaining 80 times” is displayed, and in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state, the determination of whether or not the special symbol is successful is performed 80 times. It is informed that it will end.
In the display example 1009 displayed above the effect character 1001, “setting value 1” is displayed. This suggests that the set value set to the probability by the player is the set value 1 (1/20). Of course, as in other embodiments, the setting value is not announced, such as whether it is the setting value 1 or 2 or the setting value 2 or 3; It is possible to give the will and judgment materials to continue the game.

  According to the bullet ball game machine described in the fifth embodiment, when the game state advantageous to the player, such as the high probability game state and the short-time game state, is transitioned to after the big hit game, the game advantageous to the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 An effect indicating that the game is in a state is displayed, and the effect continues until the advantageous game state is ended. Therefore, at the same time as the effect indicating that the game state is advantageous on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, By suggesting the set value with the probability set, it is possible to increase the degree of recognition of the set value with the probability set for the player.

Other configurations of the fifth embodiment may be the configurations described below.
The pachinko machine having the other configuration of the fifth embodiment is configured to have a “limiter function” that operates when a jackpot game to be shifted to the high probability gaming state after the jackpot game ends is generated a predetermined number of times. When the “limiter function” reaches a predetermined number of times, after the big hit game is finished, the high probability game state is not changed, and the normal probability game state is returned.
The pachinko machine that has the above-mentioned configuration with the “limiter function” suggests a setting value when the performance mode in the high probability gaming state with the limiter function activated is different from the normal performance mode. It is possible to do. If this is the case, it was a negative factor that the high-probability state is forcibly terminated when the limiter function is activated, but it is a positive that the set value can be discriminated when the limiter function is activated. It will be possible to give the other side too.
In addition to the high-probability gaming state, a similar effect can be provided even in a configuration that suggests a set value in a round game effect during a big hit game by winning in a state where the limiter function is activated. At that time, an over-winning may be caused.

  An example of the effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the limiter is operated will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 26A shows an example of a normal effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the limiter function is activated in the high-probability gaming state and the short-time gaming state.
As shown in FIG. 26 (a), a pseudo effect symbol 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Below the pseudo effect design 1000, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. A first reserved symbol 1002, a second reserved symbol 1003, and a third reserved symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed at the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
In the display example 1010 displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “5 continuous limiter operation” is displayed, and it is informed that a big hit has been made for 5 consecutive times. Further, since the limiter operation is displayed, it is notified that the limiter is operating when the limiter count reaches a predetermined number.

FIG. 26B shows an effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the limiter function operates in the high-probability game state and the short-time game state and the probability set value is suggested to the player. An example is shown.
As shown in FIG. 26 (b), a pseudo effect symbol 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Below the pseudo effect design 1000, the effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed. A first reserved symbol 1002, a second reserved symbol 1003, and a third reserved symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed at the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
In the display example 1010 displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “5 continuous limiter operation” is displayed, and it is informed that a big hit has been made for 5 consecutive times. Further, since the limiter operation is displayed, the fact that the limiter has been operated is notified when the limiter count reaches a predetermined number. In the display example 1009 displayed above the effect character 1001, “high setting” is displayed, and the set value set with the probability is set value 1 (1/20) or set value 2 (1 / 25).

For pachinko machines equipped with a limiter function, the effect of notifying that the limiter has been activated is a notification that the game will return to the low-probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game, and the player pays attention to the effect described above. Will see. Therefore, by recognizing the set value with the probability set during the production, it is possible to increase the degree of recognition of the set value with the probability set for the player. In addition, when the limiter is activated, by grasping the set value with the probability set, if it is set to a high setting, the game can continue to be played even after returning to the low probability gaming state, Will give a special taste.
[Example 6]

A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.
In Example 1, it was the structure which suggests the setting value by which the probability setting was carried out using the look-ahead design. In the sixth embodiment, since the small hit probability of the second special symbol is set to be higher than the small hit probability of the first special symbol, the game proceeds to the open extended state after the big hit game ends, and the second start port 12 When the game ball is inserted into the game, the state where the small hit game is generated is higher than that in the non-open extended state. It is the structure which suggests the setting value by which probability setting was carried out using the small hit game effect.

FIG. 26A shows an example of a normal effect display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when a small hit game occurs.
As shown in FIG. 26 (a), the pseudo effect symbol 1000 displayed at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is displayed as “246”. In the display example 1011 displayed above the pseudo effect symbol 1000, “Small hit! Get into the big prize opening!” Is displayed. The effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed at the upper left of the effect symbol display device 6.

FIG. 26B shows an example of the effect display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when a small hit game occurs and the set value set with the probability is suggested to the player.
As shown in FIG. 26 (b), the pseudo effect symbol 1000 displayed at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is displayed as “246”. In the display example 1011 displayed above the pseudo effect symbol 1000, “Small hit! Get into the big prize opening!” Is displayed. The effect character 1001 “Tatsuyoshi Bear” is displayed at the upper left of the effect symbol display device 6. In the display example 1008 displayed above the effect character 1001, “high setting” is displayed. This suggests that either the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or the set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) is set as a probability.

According to the ball and ball game machine described in the sixth embodiment, not only the occurrence of the small hit game, but also the effect for the small hit game suggesting the set value set with the probability, and the frequency with which the small hit game is performed. By raising the value, it is possible to recognize the set value with the probability set. In addition, when the small hit game is generated, the setting value is not suggested, but the setting value may be suggested when the game ball can be won at the big winning opening in the small hit game state. If this is the case, even a small hit game with a relatively small number of winning balls can give pleasure to win the big winning opening, and can give pleasure other than the winning ball at the time of the small hit.
[Example 7]

A seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, different points will be described mainly.
In the first embodiment, the setting value suggested by the probability setting using the look-ahead design is suggested.

The effect symbol control device 82 includes an LCD panel unit and an accessory unit, and controls the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 6 including an LCD panel unit and an accessory unit in response to a command sent from the sub integrated control device 83. Display control of the LCD panel of the second effect symbol display device 6B is performed.

  Next, the jackpot game process for controlling the progress of the jackpot game will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is executed from the main routine.

  In the jackpot game process shown in FIG. 30, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating, that is, whether or not the jackpot game is being executed (S800). When the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S800: no), the big hit game processing is ended (returned) as it is. When the accessory continuous operation device is operating (S800: yes), a specific area passage confirmation process (S805) is performed to confirm whether or not a game ball has passed through the specific area 92 described later. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S810. In addition,

  In S810, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the first grand prize winning opening 14 is open (S810). If the first grand prize opening 14 is not being opened (S810: no), it is determined whether or not the second big prize opening 69 is being opened (S815). If the second big prize opening 69 is not open (S815: no), it is determined whether the first big prize opening 14 and the second big prize opening 69 are closed during the interval between rounds (S820). If it is not during the interval (S820: no), it is determined whether the jackpot end effect is being performed (S825). If this is also a negative determination (S825: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the presentation to start the big hit game has elapsed (S830). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S830: yes), the first big prize opening opening process (S835) is performed and this process is terminated. On the other hand, if the jackpot start effect time has not elapsed (S830: no), the jackpot game is terminated as it is.

  If it is determined in S810 that the first grand prize opening 14 is open (S810: yes), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG. 31 and it is determined whether or not ten first big prize holes 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. In addition, when one prize is won in the first grand prize opening 14, 15 prize balls are obtained. When ten pieces are won in the first big prize opening 14 (S850: yes), the process proceeds to S860, and the first big prize opening closing process is performed. Then, the big hit interval process (S865) is performed, and the big hit game process is ended. When ten pieces have not been won in the first big winning opening 14 (S850: no), the process proceeds to S855, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has ended. In the present embodiment, in the 16 round jackpot game, the maximum opening time of the first big winning opening 14 of each round other than the predetermined round is set to 30 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this opening time. When the opening time is over (S855: yes), the process merges with S860, and when it is not over (S855: no), the big hit game process is finished.

If it is determined in S815 that the second grand prize winning opening 69 is being opened (S815: yes), the process proceeds to S870 in FIG. 31, and a distribution device control process for controlling the distribution device 91 described later (S870). Migrate to
When the distribution device control process in S870 ends, the process proceeds to S875. In S875, the main control device 80 determines whether or not 10 pieces have been won in the second big prize opening 69. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. Further, when one game ball wins the second grand prize opening 69, 15 prize balls are obtained.
When ten wins are made in the second big winning opening 69 (S875: yes), the process proceeds to S885. When ten pieces have not been won in the second big prize opening 69 (S875: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the second big prize opening 69 has ended (S880). If the determination is affirmative (S880: yes), the process merges with S885. In S885, the second big winning opening 69 closing process is performed, the big hit interval process (S890) is executed, and the big hit game process is ended. On the other hand, when the opening time of the second big winning opening 69 has not ended (S880: no), the big hit game process is ended.
In the present embodiment, the second grand prize winning opening 69 is opened in 15 rounds. The opening pattern of the second grand prize opening 69 is an opening pattern that is set to a maximum opening time of 30 seconds for one opening, a opening time of 0.1 seconds for the first opening, and a second opening after a predetermined time has elapsed. An opening pattern set to an opening time of 29.9 seconds is provided. It should be noted that the distribution device 91 always operates in the same manner regardless of the opening pattern of the second big prize opening 69. Thereby, it can be divided into a case where the specific area 92 is won and a case where the specific area 92 is not won.

If it is determined in S820 in FIG. 30 that the interval is in progress (S820: yes), the process proceeds to S900 in FIG. 32 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S900: yes), it is determined whether the first round winning opening 14 or the second winning prize opening 69 was opened immediately before in the final round (S905). If it is the final round (S905: yes), a big hit end effect process (S910) is performed, and the big hit game process is ended.
If it is not the final round (S905: no), it is determined whether or not the big winning opening to be opened in the next round is the first big winning opening 14 (S915). If the determination is affirmative (S915: yes), the process of opening the first big winning opening 14 is again performed (S920), and the big hit game process is terminated. If it is determined that the currently opened grand prize opening is not the first big prize opening 14 (S915: no), a process of opening the second big prize opening 69 (S925) is performed. Big hit game processing. When it is determined that the jackpot interval time has not elapsed (S900: no), the jackpot game process is terminated as it is. In the process of opening / closing the first grand prize winning port 14 and the second grand prize winning port 69, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

When it is determined in S825 in FIG. 30 that the big hit end effect is being performed (S825: yes), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG. 33, and it is determined whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S950: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S955), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S960). On the other hand, if the jackpot end effect time has not elapsed (S950: no), the jackpot game process is terminated.
Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation valid flag indicating that the entry into the specific area 92 has occurred during the big hit game is 1 (S965). If the determination is affirmative (S965: yes), the probability variation number setting process is performed (S970). In S970, the probability variation number is set to 100 times. Thereafter, the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S975), and the process proceeds to S980. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. When the process does not shift to the probability change (S965: no), the process proceeds to S980.

In S980, the main controller 80 determines whether or not to shift to the time-saving state after the end of the big hit game (S980). If the determination is negative (S980: no), the process proceeds to S995. If the determination is affirmative (S980: yes), a time reduction count setting process is performed in S985. In S985, the number of time reductions is set to 100. Thereafter, the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S990), and the process goes to S995. Of course, it may be configured not to set the number of time reductions.
Then, a process of transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83 (S995) is performed, a state designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S997), and the jackpot game process is ended.
It should be noted that the number of time reductions set in S985 is set to 100 times for both the normal big hit and the probable big hit. When the time flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, an average extension time reduction for special symbols, an average change time reduction for ordinary symbols, and an opening extension function for extending the opening time of ordinary electric accessories are set.

Next, the specific area passage confirmation process (S805 in FIG. 30) for detecting entry into the specific area 92 during the big hit game will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.
In S1000, it is determined whether or not the probability variation valid flag is 0. If the determination is affirmative (S1000: yes), the process proceeds to S1005. If the determination is negative (S1000: no), the specific area passage confirmation process shown in FIG. 31 is terminated (returned), and the process proceeds to S810 in FIG. If the probability variation valid flag is “1”, the game ball enters the specific area 92 and shifts to the high probability game state after the big hit game ends.
In S1005, based on the detection signal from the specific area SW92a, it is determined whether or not the ball has entered the specific area 92. If the determination is affirmative (S1005: yes), the process proceeds to S1010. If the determination is negative (S1005: no), the specific area passage confirmation process shown in FIG. 34 is terminated (returned), and the process proceeds to S810 in FIG.
In the present embodiment, the main control device 80 that has received the detection signal from the specific area SW 92a transmits a specific area winning designation command for notifying the sub-integrated control device 83 that a game ball has won in the specific area 92. .
