  The effect symbol control device 43 constitutes a first effect symbol display device 21A and a second effect symbol display device 21B together with the LCD panel unit and the accessory unit. The effect symbol control device 43 controls the LCD panel of the first effect symbol display device 21A including the LCD panel unit and the accessory unit, and the LCD panel unit and the accessory unit according to the command sent from the sub integrated control device 42. The display control of the LCD panel of the second effect symbol display device 21B is performed.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 performs a lottery drawing for the usual drawing due to the entrance to the usual operation gate 22 and starts the variable display of the lottery on the usual drawing display device 29. If the lottery result is a win, the hitting of the normal figure is confirmed and displayed on the normal signal display device 29, and the door portion of the general electric utility is opened. Thereby, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 23B.
If there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23A or the second special figure starting port 23B, a random number value is extracted and stored as a special figure hold memory. Then, whether or not the special figure is determined is determined based on the stored random number value in the hold storage, and the special figure display device 28 starts the fluctuation of the special figure and displays the first effect symbol display device 21A and / or the second effect symbol display. The apparatus 21B starts changing the pseudo effect design corresponding to the special drawing. If the determination result is a big hit, the big win symbol (pseudo effect big hit symbol) is confirmed and displayed on each of the display devices 28, 21A, 21B, and the first big winning port 24A or the second big winning port 24B is opened. A big hit game (special game) will be implemented.

If the game shifts to a jackpot game and there is a ball entering the probability change port 240 of the second big prize opening 24B, a probability change game state in which the winning probability of the success / failure determination of the special figure is changed to a high probability after the jackpot game ends, and When the special time change function and the normal time change time are shortened and when the second special figure start opening 23B is opened, the open extension function that extends the open time of the power utility is activated. Transition to a gaming state that is advantageous for winning big hits. The probabilistic gaming state and the short-time gaming state are continued until the next big hit occurs, or until the number of fluctuations of the special figure (= number of executions of the success / failure determination) reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times), It is the structure which returns this to a normal game state by this time limit. In addition, the structure which plays the role of said 1st grand prize opening 24A and the 2nd big prize opening 24B may be sufficient as one grand prize opening.
Further, in the pachinko machine 1, the pre-reading determination of the hold 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 first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B. By displaying each type of pre-reading symbol, a pre-reading effect that suggests whether or not there is a possibility of a big hit by the corresponding reserved memory and the size of the possibility is performed.

Hereinafter, details of the operation will be described based on program processing executed by the main control device 40, the sub integrated control device 42, and the like.
FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of a “main routine” executed by the main controller 40. The “main routine” is composed of this processing (S100 to S110, S115) and the remaining processing (S111), and has a cycle of 2 ms or 4 ms. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), an initial value random number update process (S101), a big hit determination random number (random number counter) update process (S102), which is a random number value for determining whether or not the first or second special figure is correct, Random number determination random number (random number counter) update process (S103) of 1 or 2 special figure, random number determination random number counter (random number counter) update process (S104), reach of 1st or 2nd special figure Reach determination random number (random number counter) update process (S105), change pattern determination random number (random number counter) update process (variation time) of the first or second special figure (random time counter), winning confirmation process (S107), correct / incorrect determination processing (S108), output processing (S109), fraud monitoring processing (S110) are performed, and the first time within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. Random number update processing (S111) to loop.

Next, a part of subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S107), the success / failure determination process (S108), and each output process (S109) which are deeply related to the present invention will be described.
Note that the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment cannot enter the second special figure starting port 23B unless the extension of the utility power function is functioning. Aim at the big hit game aiming at the special figure starting port 23A.

  In the “special drawing start winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 6, various random number values such as success / failure random numbers extracted when a game ball enters the first special figure start opening 23A and the second special figure start opening 23B. Then, it is stored (stored) in the main controller 40 as a hold storage. Then, various commands resulting from entering the first special figure starting port 23A and the second special figure starting port 23B are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. The number of pending storages that can be stored in this embodiment is four.

In the “special drawing start winning confirmation process”, first, in the process of S200, whether or not the first special figure start port SW503 has detected a ball entering the first special figure start port 23A, or the second special view. It is determined whether or not a ball entering the second special figure starting port 23B is detected by the starting port SW504. If there is no entry (S200: no), the process returns. If there is a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23A or the second special figure starting port 23B (S200: yes), the number of the special figure hold memory stored in the main controller 40 in the process of S201 is determined. Check if it is full. If it is full (S201: year), the process returns.
If the reserved memory is not full (S201: no), a special jackpot determination random number, a jackpot symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, and the like are extracted in the process of S202. Is stored as a special-purpose reserved memory, and 1 is added to a reserved memory counter indicating the number of reserved memories. The process of S202 corresponds to “random number extraction means” and “hold storage means” described in the claims.

In the subsequent process of S203, a “prefetch determination process” is executed. As a result, it is possible to select a reserved memory that becomes a big hit or reach before the determination of success / failure. This processing corresponds to “prefetch determination means” described in the claims.
A hold number instruction command indicating the value of the hold storage counter added in the subsequent process of S204 is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42.

FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 are flowcharts of the “special drawing success / failure determination process”.
As shown in FIG. 7, the “special drawing determination / determination process” first checks the operation of the accessory continuous operation device in the process of S300 to check whether or not a big hit game is being played. (S300: no), it is confirmed whether or not the special figure is changing in the process of S301. If it is not changing (S301: no), it is confirmed in the processing of S302 whether or not the confirmed symbol of the special figure is being confirmed. If the accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S300: yes), the process proceeds to "special game processing 1".

If the fixed symbol of the special figure is not being displayed in the process of S302 (S302: no), as shown in FIG. If there is a special figure hold memory (S310: yes), the number of the hold memory is subtracted in the process of S311 to perform a shift process of the hold memory. The oldest hold memory among the hold memories is determined as a result of the shift process.
If there is no special figure hold storage (S310: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing 1".

Next, in the process of S312, the probability variation flag is confirmed to confirm whether or not the current gaming state is the probability variation gaming state (if the probability variation flag is “1”, the probability variation is in progress). If the probability change is in progress (S312: yes), in the process of S313, based on a predetermined high probability, the success / fail determination table at the time of the probability change is compared with the jackpot determination random number for the stored memory that is the target of the determination. It is judged whether or not it is a big hit.
If the probability change is not in progress (S312: no), in the process of S314, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit by comparing the normal probability hit determination table with the big hit determination random number.

In the subsequent process of S315, it is confirmed whether or not the determination of whether or not the process of S313 or S314 is a big hit. The process of S315 corresponds to “appropriateness determination unit” described in the claims.
If it is a big hit (S315: yes), in the process of S316, the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved storage that is the object of the determination.
In the subsequent process of S317, a variation pattern such as a variation time of a jackpot symbol of a special figure is determined based on the variation random number for determining the variation pattern of the reserved memory that is the object of the determination.

  After determining the variation pattern, a big hit setting process is performed in S318. In this process, based on the determined jackpot symbol, for example, the transition to the probability variation game after the jackpot game ends or the transition to the short-time game, the first effect symbol display device 21A, the second effect symbol display device 21B is performed. The time setting for the opening effect of the big hit game, the time for the ending effect, etc. are set.

  In the process of S315, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S315: no), a change pattern such as the change time of the special symbol lose pattern is determined in the process of S319. In the subsequent process of S320, the loss setting process is performed.

After the process of S318 or S320, the process of transmitting the information of the reserved memory after the determination of the success / failure in the process of S321 (for example, the information indicating the decrease of the reserved storage after the execution of the determination of the correct / failure) to the sub integrated control device 42. Do.
In the subsequent process of S322, the symbol variation start control of the special symbol display device 28 is performed, a symbol variation start command and a symbol designation command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42, and the process proceeds to "special game processing 1". The variation start command and the symbol designation command include a variation pattern of a special figure, a determination result of whether or not the special figure is appropriate.

  When the special figure is changing in the process of S301 of FIG. 7 (S301: yes), as shown in FIG. 9, when it is confirmed that the change time of the symbol has elapsed in the process of S330 (S330: yes), In the confirmed symbol display process of S331, control is performed to end the special figure variation display of the special figure display device 28. Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing 1”.

If the confirmed symbol of the special figure is being displayed in the process of S302 in FIG. 7 (S302: yes), the process proceeds to the process of S340 in FIG. If the fixed symbol display time has not ended (S340: no), the process proceeds to "special game processing".
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fixed symbol display time has ended (S340: yes), the final symbol display of the special symbol display device 28 is controlled to be ended by the final symbol display end processing of S341, and the sub integrated control is performed. A command is transmitted to the device 42 so as to end the fixed display of the pseudo effect design corresponding to the special figure.

  Subsequently, in the process of S342, it is confirmed whether or not the special symbol symbol is a combination that is a big hit (S342: yes), the probability variation flag is “1” in the process of S343. If there is (S343: yes), "0" is set to the probability variation flag in the process of S344. Next, if the time reduction flag is “1” in the process of S345 (S345: yes), “0” is set to the time reduction flag in the process of S346. By these processes, the gaming state relating to the probability change and the short time in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal gaming state.

  In the subsequent process of S347, the operation of the condition device is started. In addition, the condition device is activated when the determination of whether or not the special figure is a big hit and the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed, and the start condition of the big hit game is established. Necessary equipment. In the subsequent process 348, the operation of the accessory continuous operation apparatus is started, and the big hit start effect process is performed in the process of S349, and the process proceeds to "special game process 1".

If the combination is not a big hit in the process of S342 (S342: no), it is confirmed in the process of S350 whether the probability variation flag is “1”, and if the probability variation flag is “1” (S350: yes), In the process of S351, a probability variation counter that counts the duration of probability variation is subtracted, and it is confirmed whether or not the probability variation counter after the subtraction is “0”. If the probability variation counter is “0” (S351: yes), the probability variation flag is reset to “0” in the processing of S352.
If the time reduction flag is “1” in the subsequent processing of S353 (S353: yes), the time reduction counter that counts the duration of time reduction is subtracted in the processing of S354, and whether the time reduction counter after subtraction is “0”? Confirm whether or not. If the hour / hour counter is “0” (S354: yes), the hour / hour flag is reset to “0” in the process of S355.
In the subsequent state designation command transmission process of S356, a state designation command including information on a probability change flag indicating a gaming state and a time reduction flag is transmitted to the sub integrated control device. Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing 1”.

The “special game processing 1” shown in FIG. 11 corresponds to the jackpot game execution means described in the claims. First, in the processing of S400, it is confirmed whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating. If so (S400: yes), it is checked in step S401 whether the first or second big prize opening 24A, 24B is open. If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S400: no), the process returns.
If the first or second big prize opening 24A, 24B is not open in the process of S401 (S401: no), it is checked in the process of S402 whether or not it is during the big hit game interval. S402: no), it is confirmed whether or not the special figure jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S403. If the big hit end effect is not being performed (S403: no), it is determined whether or not the jackpot start effect time has elapsed in the process of S404. If it confirms and progress of big hit start effect time is confirmed (S404: yes), the 1st round 1st or 2nd big winning opening 24A, 24B will be open | released by the big winning opening release process of S405, and it will return.

  If the grand prize opening is being opened in the process of S401 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 12, confirmation of whether or not the first or second big prize opening 24A, 24B has been won (specified number) ( S410), or confirming whether or not the opening time of the first or second grand prize opening 24A, 24B has ended (S411), and if either can be confirmed, in the process of S412, the first or second big prize opening 24A, 24B is closed, the big hit interval process is executed in the process of S413, and the process returns.

If it is during the big hit interval in the process of S402 (S402: yes), as shown in FIG. 13, it is checked whether or not the big hit interval time has passed in the process of S420, and if it has passed (S420: yes), it is confirmed whether or not it is the final round (for example, the 15th round) in the process of S421. If it is the final round (S421: yes), the process of the big hit end effect of S422 is executed. A jackpot end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43, the jackpot game is terminated, and the process returns.
On the other hand, if it is not the final round (S421: no), the first or second big prize opening 24A, 24B of the next round is opened by the process of S423, and the process returns.

  If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S403 (S403: yes), as shown in FIG. 14, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot end effect time has elapsed in the process of S430), and the jackpot end effect time has elapsed. If it is confirmed (S430: yes), the process of stopping the operation of the accessory continuous operation device of S431 is executed, and the process of stopping the operation of the condition device of S432 is executed.

Subsequently, in the process of S433, there is a ball entering the probability change port 240, and according to this, it is confirmed whether or not there is a setting to make a probability change after the big hit game, and if there is a probability change setting (S433: yes), In the process of S434, the repeat count (100) of the probability change game is set, and in the process of S435, “1” is set to the probability change flag. As a result, a probabilistic game is given after the big hit game ends.
Next, in the process of S436, it is confirmed whether or not there is a time reduction setting according to the jackpot symbol. If there is a time reduction setting (S436: yes), the number of repetitions of the time reduction game (100 times) is set (S437), “1” is set to the time reduction flag (S438). As a result, an extended extended game is awarded after the big hit game ends. Thereafter, a special jackpot end command transmission process (S439) is executed. In this process, a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control apparatus 43, and the big hit game is terminated and the process returns.

  After the jackpot game is over, when the transition to the probability change game state and the short-time game state, the extension extension of the power utility will function and it will be easy to enter the second special figure start opening 23B. Aim at the big hit game by aiming at the second special figure starting port 23B from the opening of the electric character.

The pachinko machine 1 is configured to be able to display a reserved symbol indicating a special symbol reserved memory in each of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B. Then, in the reserved symbols of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B, the prefetch symbol associated with the prefetch determination process is displayed, and the prefetch effect is performed.
In the sub integrated control device 42, as shown in FIG. 15, "prefetched symbol display processing" is executed. In this processing, first, in the processing of S600, the main controller 40 holds a pending display command (the processing of S204). (Including the special figure pending number command) is received. If the reception of the command is confirmed (S600: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S601 whether or not the pre-read symbol associated with the pre-read determination process.

If it is a look-ahead symbol (S601: yes), in the process of S602, a process of displaying the reserved symbol of the first effect symbol display device 21A and / or the second effect symbol display device 21B as a prefetch symbol is performed. As a result, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 performs display control of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B accordingly.
On the other hand, if it is not the pre-read symbol (S601: no), in the process of S603, the process of displaying the reserved symbol of the first effect symbol display device 21A and / or the second effect symbol display device 21B in the normal reserved symbol is performed. . As a result, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 performs display control of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B accordingly.

  The pachinko machine 1 can perform effect display in different effect modes at the same time on the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B in accordance with the determination of whether or not one special figure is appropriate. It is made to appear as if the symbol fluctuates due to a plurality of determinations. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a pseudo effect that consists of a three-digit number or the like corresponding to a special symbol is displayed on the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B. As shown in FIG. 17, an effect mode with different characters, as shown in FIG. 17, a karate mode 72 in which a plurality of karate players 720, 721 battle each other as shown in FIG. 17 (for example, described in the claims) For example) and Tatsuyoshi mode 73 with “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi” as a character (for example, equivalent to the second effect mode described in the claims).

  In addition, these effect modes can be switched by the player operating the effect button 15 or the jog dial 16. That is, from the effect mode shown in FIG. 16 to the effect mode shown in FIG. 17, and as shown in FIG. 18, the first effect symbol display device 21A is set to the Tatsuyoshi mode 73, and the second effect symbol display device 21B is changed to karate. Switching to mode 72 is possible. In the figure, reference numerals 71A and 71B indicate reserved symbols corresponding to the reserved storage.

  And, in the state where the production mode is different between the first production symbol display device 21A and the second production symbol display device 21B, when the result of the special figure determination is a predetermined determination result, for example, reach determination or jackpot determination, In either one of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B, it is possible to perform the effect display only in one of the effect modes. I try to produce a performance that raises my expectation of

The control for performing the effect display in the single effect mode only in any one of the effect modes on the one effect symbol display device is executed by the sub integrated control device 42 as shown in FIG. Control process 1 ”is performed.
In this process, first, in the process of S700, it is confirmed whether or not a fluctuation command related to a special figure (including the special figure fluctuation start command of the process of S322) has been received from the main controller 40. If the reception of the command is confirmed (S700: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S701 whether the command is a predetermined command, for example, a command associated with reach determination or jackpot determination.
If it is the predetermined command (S701: yes), display processing for effect display in the single effect mode is performed in the processing of S702. As a result, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 performs display control of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B accordingly.

Furthermore, the pachinko machine 1 can implement the effect display in the single effect mode by suggesting the pre-read design before the effect display is performed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 20, in the state where the effect display in the karate mode 72 is performed on the first effect symbol display device 21A and the effect display in the Tatsuyoshi mode 73 is performed on the second effect symbol display device 21B, When the look-ahead symbol 710 is displayed second in the reserved symbol 71B of the two effect symbol display device 21B, the second effect symbol display device 21B is displayed as shown in FIG. It stops and a single effect display is performed in the karate mode 72 on the first effect symbol display device 21A. In this way, the effect display on the side where the pre-read symbol is displayed is canceled (not implemented). It may be in a state where nothing is displayed, or the character stops and becomes a still image, or the reserved symbols displayed on the first effect symbol display device 21A only in this state are moved to the second effect symbol display device 21B. May be displayed. In addition, a configuration in which the non-implementation state continues from the variation in which the prefetched symbols are shown to the number of variations is also conceivable. In any case, it is possible to show the effect display by concentrating on the player by making one effect display.
It should be noted that the effect display in the single effect mode is not necessarily performed when the pre-read symbol is displayed. That is, a false prefetching effect may be performed.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B can simultaneously perform effect display in effect modes having different effect contents. The variations of the game spread and the fun of the game increases. Further, even when the effect display of different effect contents is performed simultaneously on the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B, at the time of a predetermined success / failure determination such as reach or jackpot, either one of the effect symbol display devices No effect display in any one of the effect modes in the game will not cause confusion or misunderstanding of the player, and the effect display in the single effect mode will be performed, so that the player's big hit Can raise the sense of expectation. In addition, since the effect configuration as described above is provided, an unprecedented suggestion content, that is, a prefetch symbol indicating that no effect display is performed, can be performed as a prefetch effect.
Further, in the configuration in which the effect display in the single effect mode is performed at the time of the predetermined success / failure determination, when the predetermined prefetch determination is made by the prefetch determination, the prefetch hold that suggests that the effect display in one of the effect modes is not performed. By configuring the symbol display, it is possible to increase the player's expectation regarding the jackpot by suggesting that the pre-reading reserved symbol will be displayed in the single effect mode before the number change. Can be.

In the above-described configuration, the effect mode of the effect symbol display device on the side displaying the prefetched symbols is not implemented. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and only the effect mode of the effect symbol display device on the side displaying the prefetched symbols is used alone. An effect display in the effect mode may be performed.
Further, as shown in FIG. 22, the second effect symbol display device 21B is a movable display device, and is provided so as to be movable to the front position of the first effect symbol display device 21A. When performing the effect display by the mode, the first effect symbol display device 21B is moved to the front position of the first effect symbol display device 21A without making the effect of the first effect symbol display device 21A unexecuted. The effect display of the effect symbol display device 21A may be obscured.

Further, in addition to the effect display in the single effect mode, the pachinko machine 1 is provided with one of the effect symbol display devices if the result of the special figure determination is a predetermined determination result such as reach determination or jackpot determination. With the effect display in one effect mode, it is possible to implement a support effect that supports effect display in the other effect mode of the other effect symbol display device.
As shown in FIG. 23, the control for performing the support effect is performed by “display control processing 2” executed by the sub integrated control device 42.
In this process, first, in the process of S710, it is confirmed whether or not a change command related to a special figure (including a special figure change start command of the process of S322) has been received from the main controller 40. If the reception of the command is confirmed (S710: yes), it is confirmed in the processing of S711 whether the command is a predetermined command, for example, a command associated with reach determination or jackpot determination.
If it is the predetermined command (S711: yes), display processing for displaying the effect of the support effect is performed in the processing of S712. As a result, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 performs display control of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B accordingly.

Furthermore, this pachinko machine 1 can implement an effect display based on the support effect using the pre-read design before the effect display is performed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 24, the first effect symbol display device 21A performs the karate mode 72 effect display, and the second effect symbol display device 21B performs the effect display of the Tatsuyoshi mode 73. When the pre-reading symbol 711 indicating “Tatsuyoshi” of “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi” is displayed second on the reserved symbol 71B of the two-effect symbol display device 21B, as shown in FIG. The karate player 721 supports the karate mode support effect display 72A in the first effect symbol display device 21A, and Tatsuyoshi 731 catches the V mark in response to the support in the second effect symbol display device 21B. Another version of the Tatsuyoshi mode effect display 73A is implemented.
In addition, if the pre-reading symbol is displayed, the effect display by the support effect is not necessarily performed. That is, a false prefetching effect may be performed.

  According to this, since the support effect is performed, the player is not confused or misunderstood, and the effect display in one effect mode is appealed, so that the player's big hit Expectation can be raised. Furthermore, when a predetermined pre-reading determination is made by the pre-reading determination means, a pre-read hold symbol indicating that the support effect is to be implemented is displayed, so that the player's big hit from before the number change in the pre-read hold symbol is displayed. Expectation can be raised more. In addition, since the above-described effect configuration is provided, an unprecedented suggestion that suggests supporting the other effect display can be performed as a prefetch effect.

Furthermore, the present pachinko machine 1 has a first display if the result of the determination of whether or not the special drawing is determined is a predetermined determination result such as reach determination or jackpot determination, in addition to the effect display in the single effect mode and the support effect. The 1st effect symbol display device 21A and the 2nd effect symbol display device 21B can perform an integrated effect that integrally displays the effect display by the effect display in one effect mode.
As shown in FIG. 26, the integrated effect is performed by “display control process 3” executed by the sub integrated control device 42.
In this process, first, in the process of S720, it is confirmed whether or not a change command related to a special figure (including a special figure change start command of the process of S322) has been received from the main controller 40. If the reception of the command is confirmed (S720: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the command is a predetermined command, for example, a command associated with reach determination or jackpot determination in the process of S721.
If it is the predetermined command (S721: yes), display processing for effect display of the integrated effect is performed in the processing of S722. As a result, a command is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 performs display control of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B accordingly.

Still further, the pachinko machine 1 can implement the effect display by the integrated effect in the pre-read pattern before the effect display is performed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 27, in the state where the effect display in the karate mode 72 is performed on the first effect symbol display device 21A and the effect display in the Tatsuyoshi mode 73 is performed on the second effect symbol display device 21B. Prefetched symbols 711 and 712 indicating “Tatsuyoshi” of “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi” are displayed second in the reserved symbol 71A of the first effect symbol display device 21A and secondly in the reserved symbol 71B of the second effect symbol display device 21B. In this case, as shown in FIG. 28, in the variation after the second time, the Tatsuyoshi integrated effect mode in which the Tatsuyoshi 730 is displayed in a large integrated manner in both the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B. The effect display by 73B and 73C is implemented.
In addition, if the pre-reading symbol is displayed, the effect display by the integrated effect is not performed. That is, a false prefetching effect may be performed.

  According to this, since the integrated production is implemented, it does not cause confusion or misunderstanding of the player, and by appealing the production display in one production mode, Expectation can be raised. Further, when a predetermined pre-reading determination is made by the pre-reading determination means, a pre-read hold symbol that suggests that the integrated effect is to be displayed is displayed, so that the player's jackpot from the number change before the pre-read hold symbol is displayed. Expectation can be raised more. In addition, when a pre-reading symbol indicating “Dai” is displayed on only one side, it indicates support. Therefore, when it is thought that support will be provided initially, “Dai” is also displayed on the other reserved symbol. Thus, it is possible to produce an effect that changes to the fact that the integrated production is performed, and an unprecedented look-ahead production is possible.

  As another variation of the integrated effect, as shown in FIG. 29, an effect display in the karate mode 72 is performed on the first effect symbol display device 21A, and an effect display in the Tatsuyoshi mode 73 is performed on the second effect symbol display device 21B. In this state, prefetched symbols 711 and 712 composed of “x” are displayed on the second of the reserved symbol 71A of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second of the reserved symbol 71B of the second effect symbol display device 21B. In the case of the second variation, as shown in FIG. 30, in the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B, a boxer 740 that is large in the vertical direction and is not in the karate mode or the Tatsuyoshi mode. An effect display in the boxing modes 74A and 74B for displaying may be performed. In addition, if the pre-reading symbol is displayed, the effect display by the integrated effect is not performed. That is, a false prefetching effect may be performed.

In the pachinko machine 1, the effect mode of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B is operated by operating the effect button 15 in accordance with the player's preference regardless of the result of determination of whether or not the special image is correct. In the case of switching, the effect display of one effect symbol display device may be limited to the effect display of one effect symbol display device, and the display of the other effect symbol display device may not be performed (not displayed), as in the effect display in the single effect mode shown in FIG. .
Also, when the player switches the effect mode according to his / her preference, as shown in FIG. 31, the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B perform effect display in different effect modes, respectively. The effect display in the effect mode may be paused. In the illustrated example, the Tatsuyoshi mode of the second effect symbol display device 21B is set to the pause mode 73D.
Further, when the player switches the effect mode according to his / her preference, as shown in FIG. 32, the effect display is performed on the first effect symbol display device 21A, and the reserved symbol 71A and the prefetched symbol 715 are displayed on the second effect symbol display device 21B. The effect display 75 to be displayed may be executable.
Furthermore, when the player switches the effect mode according to his / her preference, as shown in FIG. 33, the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B can perform the effect display in the same effect mode. Good. In any case, two effect symbol display devices can be effectively utilized.
In the pachinko machine 1, as in the game board 2B shown in FIG. 34, the first effect symbol display device 21A is a large display device as a main display device, and the second effect symbol display device 21B is a sub size. You may comprise with a display apparatus. In the case of this configuration, in order to view the desired effect mode on the main display device, the function of changing the display position of the effect mode as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 becomes important. Note that, as a relationship between the main and the sub, a configuration in which a sound related to the effect display is output to the main and the sub is not output is also conceivable. This is because if different sounds are output at the same time, there is a possibility that the sound cannot be heard. Further, the second effect symbol display device 21B may be movable so as to cover the front side of the first effect symbol display device 21A.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The basic configuration is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, and differences will be mainly described. Moreover, the same member is shown with the same code | symbol in drawing.
This pachinko machine determines whether a big hit (per symbol), a small hit, or a loss is made when determining whether a special figure is successful. When the result of the determination is a small hit, a game is played in a specific area provided in the big prize opening. This is a mixing machine type game machine that can be developed into a big hit (per bonus item) by entering the ball.

  As shown in FIG. 35, a second big prize opening 24B (corresponding to the big prize device described in the claims) provided in the game area R on the right side of the game board 2C and opened and closed by a small hit game. A specific area 26 is provided inside. The specific area 26 can be opened and closed by the shutter 25, and the entry into the specific area 26 is controlled. That is, the specific area 26 is opened and closed at regular intervals by the shutter 25, and it is difficult to enter the ball if the timing is not met.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 36, the main control device 40, together with the first special figure start port SW503 to the effect gate SW511, via the game board relay terminal plate 531, is a specific that detects entry into the specific area 26. Detection signals for the area SW 512 and the like are input.

  In this pachinko machine, whether or not the special figure is determined due to entering the first or second special figure start opening 23A, 23B is executed, and the condition device is activated when the determination result is a big hit (per symbol). As a result, the winning combination game (special game) is performed in which the accessory continuous operation device is operated and the first big winning opening 24A is opened in a predetermined manner advantageous for obtaining the winning ball.

  On the other hand, if the result of the determination of whether or not the special figure is successful is only the special electric accessory, the second big prize opening 24B is opened more frequently than the first big prize opening 24A of the big hit game due to this. Is a small hit game that is opened in a disadvantageous manner. At this time, when the game ball enters the specific area 26 of the second big prize opening 24B, the condition device is activated, and thereby the accessory continuous operation device is activated and promoted to a big hit (per bonus item) (development). And a basic configuration that enables a big hit game to open and close the first big prize opening 24A. In addition, the structure which plays the role of said 1st grand prize opening 24A and the 2nd big prize opening 24B may be sufficient as one grand prize opening.

  After the big hit game is over, it is a normal electric game as a privilege game that is advantageous for letting a game ball enter the second special figure starting port 23B in accordance with the hit symbol of the special figure that has become a big hit or a small hit. A configuration capable of shifting to a short game (or open extended game) that is provided with a time-shortening function that extends the opening time of the second special figure starting port 23B (opening extension function) and shortens the average fluctuation time of the usual figure It is.

The “special map success / failure determination process 2” for executing the special map determination on the basis of FIGS. 37 to 41 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 37, in the “special drawing win / no-go determination process 2”, first, in the process of S350, it is checked whether or not the condition device is inoperative to check whether or not a big hit game is being played. If the condition device is operating (S350: no), the process returns.
If the condition device is not in operation and the jackpot game is not being played (S350: yes), it is confirmed in the processing of S351 whether or not the variation of the special figure is stopped. If the change is stopped (S351: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S352 whether or not the fixed symbol of the special figure is not displayed.
It should be noted that, when there is no game ball in the second big winning opening 24B, the special figure variation time, the small hit game start interval, the end interval, etc. Is set so as to be more than the time required from winning a prize to discharging the grand prize.

If the confirmed symbol is not displayed in the process of S352 (S352: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S353 whether there is a special figure hold memory.
If there is a special figure hold memory (S353: yes), a hold memory shift process is performed in the process of S354. The oldest hold memory among the hold memories is determined as a result of the shift process.
If there is no special figure hold storage (S353: no), the process returns.

  In the process of S355, whether or not the success / failure determination is a big hit (per symbol) is determined by comparing the success / failure determination table with the value of the random number for determining the big hit in the stored storage that is the target of the success / failure determination. Confirm. If it is a big hit (S355: yes), the big hit symbol is determined based on the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved memory that is the object of the determination in S356, and the special symbol at the time of the big hit is determined in the step S357. The fluctuation pattern (fluctuation time) is determined.

In the subsequent jackpot content setting process of S358, the contents of the jackpot game (special game) (opening pattern of the first big prize opening 24A, opening effect time, ending effect time, etc.) and the jackpot based on the value of the random number for determining the jackpot symbol Set the game state after the game ends.
After that, in the process of S359, a special figure change start command including data (big hit, small hit, loss type, presence / absence of reach, change time, etc.) indicating the result of the success / failure determination is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control. While outputting to the apparatus 43, the special figure display apparatus 28 performs the process of variably displaying the special figure. After the process of S359, the process returns.

  If it is not a big hit in the process of S355 (S355: no), as shown in FIG. 38, is the value of the random number for jackpot determination matched with the hit value of the small hit in the success / failure determination table as shown in FIG. Determine whether or not. If it is a small hit (S360: yes), a small hit symbol is determined based on the value of the symbol determining random number in the reserved storage in the process of S361. Note that the processing of S355 and S360 corresponds to “win / fail judgment means” recited in the claims.

In the subsequent variation pattern determination process of S362, a variation pattern for small hits of the special figure is determined.
Next, in the small hit content setting process of S363, the content of the small hit game (opening pattern of the second big winning opening 24B, opening effect time, ending effect time, etc.) The game state after the hit game is set. Further, a small hitting game time is set in accordance with the game state, for example, a rate of entering a specific area. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S359 to perform a change start command transmission process.

  If neither the big hit nor the small hit is obtained in the processes of S355 and S360 (S355, S360: no), the determination of success or failure is lost. After determining the lost pattern in the process of S364, the process of S365 Determine the variation pattern. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S359 to perform this process.

If the change in the special figure is not stopped in the process of S351 in FIG. 37 (S351: no), the process proceeds to S370 as shown in FIG. 39 to check whether the change time of the special figure has elapsed. To do. If the fluctuation time has not passed (S370: no), the process returns.
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fluctuation time has elapsed (S370: yes), a symbol stop command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 in the process of S371.
If it can be confirmed that the symbol is a big hit symbol in the subsequent processing of S372 (S372: yes), the special symbol display device 28 performs a process of confirming and displaying the big hit symbol in the processing of S373.

Subsequently, the operation of the condition device is started in the processing of S374, and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started in the processing of S375. The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory.
Thereafter, if it can be confirmed in the process of S376 that the time reduction flag is “1” (medium time reduction) (S376: yes), the time reduction flag is reset to “0” in the process of S377. In the process of S378, “1” is set to the big hit flag. Even if the time reduction flag is not “1” in the process of S376 (S376: no), “1” is set to the big hit flag in the process of S378. Then return.

If it is not confirmed in the process of S372 that the symbol is a big hit symbol (S372: no), it is checked in S380 whether the symbol is a small hit symbol. If it can be confirmed that the symbol is a small hit symbol (S380: yes), the special symbol display device 28 performs a process of confirming and displaying the small hit symbol in the process of S381.
After that, if it can be confirmed in the process of S382 that the time reduction flag is “1” (medium time reduction) (S382: yes), the time reduction flag is reset to “0” in the process of S383. Further, the count value of the hour / hour counter for limiting the number of times / hours game grants in the process of S384 is stored. As a result, the short time after the small hit game ends is continued from the number of short times when the small hit occurs. In step S385, “1” is set in the small hit flag. Even if the time reduction flag is not “1” in the process of S381 (S381: no), “1” is set to the small hit flag in the process of S385. Then return.

  If it is neither a big hit symbol nor a small hit symbol in the processing of S372 and S380 (S372, S380: no), it is a lost symbol, and as shown in FIG. 40, the special symbol display device 28 loses the symbol in the special symbol display device 28 as shown in FIG. Performs the process of confirming the display.

  In the subsequent processing of S391, it is confirmed whether or not the time reduction flag is “1” (whether or not the time reduction is in progress). If the time reduction flag is “1” (S391: yes), the above processing is performed in S392. The time reduction counter is subtracted, and it is confirmed whether or not the count value subtracted in the subsequent processing of S393 is “0”. If the count value is “0” (S393: yes), the time reduction ends, and the time reduction flag is reset to “0” in the process of S394. Then return.

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S352 of FIG. 37 (S352: no), as shown in FIG. 41, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed in the process of S395 (S395: yes), In the confirmed symbol display end process of S396, a command related to the end of the confirmed symbol display of the special symbol display device 28, the end of the confirmed symbol display is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43, and the process returns.

  Next, based on FIG. 42 to FIG. 47, the “special game processing 2” which is processed by the main control device 40 and executes the big hit game and the small hit game will be described. As shown in FIG. 42, first, in the process of S500, it is confirmed whether or not the big hit flag is “0”. If the big hit flag is “0” (S500: yes), it is not a big hit, so it is confirmed in the processing of S501 whether the small hit flag is “0”. If the small hit flag is “0” (S500: yes), it returns because it is neither big hit nor small hit.

  If the small hit flag is not “0” in the process of S501 (S501: no), it is confirmed whether or not the small hit start effect is being performed in the process of S502. If the small hit effect is being performed (S502: yes), it is confirmed whether the small hit start effect time has elapsed in the processing of S503, and if the passage of time can be confirmed (S503: yes), the second big prize winning port of S504 is continued. In the opening process, the second big prize opening 24B is opened in the mode set in S363 (special drawing determination / rejection determination process 2, FIG. 38). In the subsequent process of S505, the detection of entering the specific area 26 of the second big winning opening 24B is validated.

  If the small hit start effect is not being performed in the process of S502 (S502: no), it is confirmed in the process of S506 whether the second big prize opening 24B is open. If the second big prize opening 24B is not open (S506: no), it is confirmed in the process of S507 whether the specific area 26 is valid. If the specific area 26 is not valid (S507: no), it is confirmed whether or not the small hit end effect is being performed in the process of S508. If the small hit end effect is being performed (S508: yes), the process of S509 is performed. It is confirmed whether or not it is a small hit end production end time. If it is the production end time (S509: yes), in the subsequent processing of S510, the small hit flag is reset to “0” and the small hit game is ended. Further, in the processing of S511, “1” is set to the time reduction flag, and the time reduction is continued after the small hit game ends. In this process, the storage of the hour / hour counter stored in the process of S384 is set to the number of hour / hour reductions. Then return.

  If the small hit end effect is not being performed in the process of S508 (S508: no), the small hit start effect process is performed in the process of S512, whereby the small hit start command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. It transmits (equivalent to the small hit game execution means described in the claims). Then return.

If the second big prize opening 24B is open in the process of S506 (S506: yes), as shown in FIG. 43, the number of balls entered into the second big prize opening 24B is a prescribed number in the process of S520. Check if the number has reached 10. If it is confirmed that the specified number has been reached (S520: yes), the second big prize opening 24B is closed in the process of S522.
On the other hand, if the specified number has not been reached (S520: no), it is confirmed in the processing of S521 whether or not the opening time of the second big winning opening 24B has ended.

  If the opening time of the second big prize opening 24B has not ended in the processing of S521 (S521: no), or if the specific area 26 is valid in the processing of S507 of FIG. 42 (S507: yes), FIG. As shown at 44, it is confirmed whether or not there is a pitch (winning) in the specific area 26 in the process of S530.

If there is a ball entering the specific area 26 in the processing of S530 (S530: yes), the operation of the condition device is started in the processing of S531 and the processing of S532, and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started.
If it is confirmed in the subsequent process of S533 that the second big prize opening 24B is open (S533: yes), the second big prize opening 24B is closed in the process of S534, and the specific area 26 is further processed in the process of S535. Disable.
Thereafter, the effect start start effect is set in the process of S536, and thereby a start per command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. In S537, the small hit flag is reset to "0", and in S538, the big hit flag is set to "1". This shifts from small hits to big hits (per bonus item). Also, here, the time-saving game is ended by resetting the time-saving flag to “0”. Then return.

  If there is no entry into the specific area 26 in the process of S530 (S530: no), it is confirmed in the process of S539 whether or not the effective period of the specific area 26 has ended, and if the effective period has ended (S539: yes), the small hit end effect is set in the process of S540, and thereby a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then return.

  If the big hit flag is not “0” in the process of S500 of FIG. 42 (S500: no), as shown in FIG. 45, it is determined whether or not the first big prize opening 24A is being opened in the process of S550. Check. If it is not open (S550: no), it is confirmed in the processing of S551 whether or not it is during the big hit interval.

If it is not during the interval in the process of S551 (S551: no), it is confirmed whether or not the big hit end effect is being performed in the process of S552. If it is not during the end effect (S552: no), it is a big hit in the process of S553. Check if the start performance is in progress.
If the big hit start effect is being performed (S553: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the big hit start effect time has elapsed in the process of S554, and if the elapse of the effect time can be confirmed (S554: yes), the first in the process of S555. The special winning opening 24A is opened. Then return.

  If the jackpot start effect is not in effect in the process of S553 (S553: no), the jackpot start effect process is performed in the process of S556, thereby transmitting the jackpot start command to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 ( Equivalent to the jackpot game execution means described in the claims). Then return.

  If it is during the big hit interval in the process of S551 (S551: yes), it is checked whether it is the interval end time in the process of S557, and if it is the interval end time (S557: yes), in the process of S558 The first grand prize opening 24A is opened. Then return.

If the second big prize opening 24B is open in the process of S550 (S550: yes), as shown in FIG. 46, the number of balls entered into the first big prize opening 24A is a specified number in the process of S560. Check if the number has reached 10. If it is confirmed that the specified number has been reached (S560: yes), the first big prize opening 24A is closed in the process of S562.
On the other hand, if the specified number has not been reached (S560: no), it is confirmed in the process of S561 whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 24A has ended. If the end of the opening time is confirmed (S561: yes), the first big prize opening 24A is closed (S562).

In the subsequent processing of S563, it is confirmed whether or not the final round of jackpot has ended. If it is the end of the last round (S563: yes), the big hit end effect process is performed in the process of S564, and the big hit end command is thereby transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then return.
On the other hand, if it is not the end of the last round (S563: no), an interval between opening (big hit interval) processing is performed in the processing of S565, and thereby a big hit interval command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. . Then return.

  If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S552 of FIG. 45 (S5552: yes), as shown in FIG. 47, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot end effect time has elapsed in the process of S570. If the progress can be confirmed (S570: yes), the condition device is stopped in the process of S571. And in the process of S572, the said accessory continuous action | operation apparatus is stopped.

In the subsequent processing of S573, it is confirmed whether or not time is given after the end of the big hit game.
When the time is given (S573: yes), “1” is set to the time flag in the process of S574, and the game state after the big hit game is set in the process of S575. Furthermore, the big hit flag is reset to “0” in the process of S576.

In the normal gaming state, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment cannot enter the second special figure starting port 23B, and aims at the big hit (per symbol) of the first special figure aiming at the first special figure starting port 23A. It will be.
When the big hit of the first special figure occurs and the gaming state becomes the short-time gaming state after that, the small special hit of the second special figure is aimed at the starting point of the second special figure.
In the short-time gaming state, the game ball passes through the operation gate 22 by the “right-handed” game, and there is a high possibility that the usual lottery and the reserved memory of the usual figure are accumulated. Then, when the electric utility item is released by the lottery of the ordinary figure, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 23B.

And this pachinko machine performs the effect display simultaneously on the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B in accordance with the determination of whether or not the special symbol is appropriate, and determines whether or not the jackpot is successful on one effect symbol display device (the symbol). The effect display relating to the determination of success / failure of winning) is performed, and the effect display relating to the determination of whether or not winning a small hit is performed in the other effect symbol display device.
As shown in FIG. 48, for example, in the first effect symbol display device 21A, an effect display indicating whether or not a big hit is made in the karate mode 72 is performed. At the same time, in the second effect symbol display device 21B, an effect display indicating whether or not a small hit is made in the Tatsuyoshi mode 73 is performed.
If the winning symbol is determined and displayed on the first effect symbol display device 21A, “per symbol” is obtained, and if the winning symbol is displayed on the second effect symbol display device 21B, “small hit” is assumed.

  According to the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, notifying the winning of the big hit and the small hit is not represented by one symbol, but can be represented by each of the dedicated rendering symbol display device and the dedicated rendering mode. It is possible to play with the feeling that a plurality of lotteries are made by determining whether or not one is successful, and the fun of the game can be enriched. In the past, when directing a small hit, a small hit was made after notifying that a small hit or a big hit when the reach was lost from a predetermined loss pattern arrangement, With the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, since it is possible to produce a small hit separately from the big hit, various effects are possible. In addition, because it is an effect based on one success / failure determination, reach production starts simultaneously in the big hit and small win production modes, and it gives an interest by which one stops, or a little hit can be expected until the middle of the production It is possible to produce in a combination that has never existed, such as displaying and finally winning a big hit.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. The basic configuration is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, and the differences will be mainly described. Moreover, the same member is shown with the same code | symbol in drawing.
The pachinko machine of the present embodiment is a game machine of the mixer type as in the second embodiment, and a round of big hit game according to the ball entering the accessory continuous operation frequency determination device when it occurs per symbol The number of times is determined. The big hit game is a round game in which the opening operation of the first big winning opening 24A in a predetermined release mode is performed a plurality of times, and the greater the number of rounds, the more advantageous is the acquisition of prize balls.

  As shown in FIG. 49, the game board 2D is provided with an accessory continuous action number determination device 222 consisting of a gate provided so that a game ball can always pass in the upstream position of the game area R on the right side. The game ball that has been “right-handed” enters the accessory continuous operation number determination device 222, passes through this, and flows down to the game area R on the right side.

  As shown in FIG. 50, the main control device 40 enters the accessory continuous operation frequency determination device 222 through the game board relay terminal plate 531 together with the first special figure start port SW503 to the production gate SW511. A detection signal such as the consecutive number of times SW513 for detecting a sphere is input.

  In this pachinko machine, whether or not the special figure is determined due to the ball entering the first or second special figure start opening 23A, 23B is executed, and if the determination result is a big hit (per symbol), the condition device is activated, Furthermore, after the number of rounds of the big hit game due to the ball entering the accessory continuous operation number determination device 222 is determined, the first big winning port 24A is opened in a predetermined manner advantageous for the acquisition of the winning ball ( Special game) is implemented.

  On the other hand, if the result of the determination of whether or not the special figure is successful is only the special electric accessory, the second big prize opening 24B is opened more frequently than the first big prize opening 24A of the big hit game due to this. Is a small hit game that is opened in a disadvantageous manner. At this time, when the game ball enters the specific area 26 of the second big prize opening 24B, the condition device is activated, and thereby the accessory continuous operation device is activated and promoted to a big hit (per bonus item) (development). And a basic configuration that enables a big hit game to open and close the first big prize opening 24A. In addition, the structure which plays the role of said 1st grand prize opening 24A and the 2nd big prize opening 24B may be sufficient as one grand prize opening.

  After the big hit game ends, as in the second embodiment, as a bonus game, the opening time of the second special figure starting port 23B, which is a normal electric accessory, is extended (open extension function) and the average fluctuation time of the usual figure This is a configuration that can shift to a short game (or open extended game) when a short function is given.

The control of the big hit game and the small hit game is performed by “special game processing 2” (FIG. 42) as in the second embodiment, but if the big hit flag is not “0” in the processing of S500 (S500). 51), as shown in FIG. 51, the process proceeds to the process of S580, and in this process, the detection of the accessory continuous number of times SW513 is confirmed, and whether or not there has been a ball entering the accessory continuous operation number of times determination device 222 To check.
If there is a ball entry (S580: yes), the number of consecutive consecutive operations is determined by lottery in the process of S581, and it is confirmed in the subsequent process of S582 whether the first big prize opening 24A is open. If it is not open (S582: no), it is checked in step S583 whether or not it is a big hit interval.

If it is not in the interval in the process of S583 (S583: no), it is checked in the process of S584 whether or not the big hit end effect is in progress. If not in the end effect (S584: no), the big hit in the process of S585. Check if the start performance is in progress.
If the jackpot start effect is being performed (S585: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot start effect time has elapsed in the process of S586, and if the elapse of the effect time can be confirmed (S586: yes), the first process is performed in S587. The special winning opening 24A is opened. Then return.

  If the big hit start effect is not being performed in the process of S585 (S585: no), the big hit start effect process is performed in the process of S588, whereby a big hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 ( Equivalent to the jackpot game execution means described in the claims). Then return.

  If it is during the big hit interval in the process of S583 (S583: yes), it is checked whether it is the interval end time in the process of S589, and if it is the interval end time (S589: yes), in the process of S590 The first grand prize opening 24A is opened. Then return.

As in the second embodiment, the pachinko machine of the present embodiment cannot enter the second special figure starting port 23B in the normal gaming state, and aims at the first special figure starting port 23A. The goal is to win big figures (per symbol).
When the big hit of the first special figure occurs and the gaming state becomes the short-time gaming state after that, the small special hit of the second special figure is aimed at the starting point of the second special figure.
In the short-time gaming state, the game ball passes through the operation gate 22 by the “right-handed” game, and there is a high possibility that the usual lottery and the reserved memory of the usual figure are accumulated. Then, when the electric utility item is released by the lottery of the ordinary figure, it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 23B.

  The pachinko machine simultaneously displays effects on the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B in accordance with the determination of whether or not the special symbol is appropriate. Effect display) is performed, and the other effect symbol display device is configured to perform effect display related to the determination of whether or not to win a small hit.

  Then, when a judgment per predetermined symbol is made in the special symbol determination, as shown in FIG. 52, while the first effect symbol display device 21A confirms and displays the effect display of the karate mode 72 as a lost symbol, In the second effect symbol display device 21B, the Tatsuyoshi mode effect display 73E determined by the small hit symbol in a state where Tatsuyoshi catches V is displayed. In other words, although the symbol hit occurs, the small hit occurs in the production.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 53, the first effect symbol display device 21A displays a karate mode effect display 72B that suggests “right-handed”, and the second effect symbol display device 21B displays a ball in the specific area 26. A Tatsuyoshi mode effect display 73F that suggests a winning combination is displayed.

  Then, when the player performs “right-handed” and the game ball passes through the accessory continuous operation frequency determining device 222 in the right game area R, as shown in FIG. 54, the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second In the two effect symbol display device 21B, the Tatsuyoshi mode surprise jackpot effect displays 73G and 73H, which are made up of the full smiles, are displayed. In other words, it once appears as if a small hit occurs, and later indicates a big hit (per symbol).

On the other hand, when a predetermined small hit determination is made in the special symbol determination, as shown in FIG. 55, the first effect symbol display device 21A displays a karate mode effect display 72C that is confirmed and displayed with the big hit symbol. In the second effect symbol display device 21B, the Tatsuyoshi mode effect display 73J determined by the lost symbol in a state where Tatsuyoshi failed to capture V is displayed. In other words, even though a small hit occurs, it can be considered that a big hit (per symbol) is generated in the production. In this case, it is an example of an effect that is considered to be performed in a game configuration in which a small hit makes a hit with a feature with a high probability. It is possible to give a surprise that the game is not started and the game ball that has passed through the accessory continuous operation number determination device 222 enters the specific area 26 and the big hit game starts.
In addition to these effects, a configuration in which the big hit and the small hit are notified on both display devices is also conceivable. In this case, it becomes possible for the player to exhibit a gameability that the player does not know which is until it passes through the accessory continuous operation frequency determination device 222. In addition, it is possible to produce an effect that notifies only that one has been won without showing both wins, and prompts the game object to pass through the accessory continuous operation frequency determination device 222.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 56, the first effect symbol display device 21A displays a karate mode effect display 72D that suggests “right-handed”, and the second effect symbol display device 21B displays the accessory continuous action frequency determination device 222. A Tatsuyoshi mode effect display 73K indicating the start of a big hit game is displayed by entering the ball.

Then, when the player performs “right-handed”, the second big prize opening 24B is opened and the game ball enters the specific area 26, as shown in FIG. 57, the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second On the 2 effect symbol display device 21B, the Tatsuyoshi mode surprise jackpot effect displays 73L and 73M, which are composed of Tatsuyoshi with a full smile, are displayed. In other words, it once appears as if it is generated per symbol, and after that, a small hit game is performed, and from now on, it becomes a big hit game per player. In addition, this production example is suitable for a game configuration in which a small hit makes a hit with a high probability.
In addition to these effects, a configuration is also conceivable in which both display devices notify the big hit and the small hit. In this case, it becomes possible for the player to exhibit a gameability that the player does not know which is until it passes through the accessory continuous operation frequency determination device 222. In addition, it is possible to produce an effect that notifies only that one has been won without showing both wins, and prompts the game object to pass through the accessory continuous operation frequency determination device 222.

  According to the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, the same effect as the second embodiment can be obtained, and the ball that the player thinks is a small hit and is launched to win a big winning opening with a specific area. , The bonus game will be started when it is detected by the accessory continuous operation number determination device, and conversely, the player thought that the symbol was hit, but the second big prize opening 24B was opened and the game ball was in a specific area. A big hit game will be started by entering 26, and a big surprise can be given to a player, and the interest of a game can be enriched.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can of course be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG. 58, an LCD panel display device is used as the first effect symbol display device 21A, but the second effect symbol display device 21B may be configured by three large seven-segment displays. The reserved symbol 71B is composed of four LED lamps.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 59, according to the player's preference, the display mode of the first effect symbol display device 21A is changed to three large 7-segment displays on the LCD panel, similar to the second effect symbol display device 21B. You may make it perform the display imitating.
Further, as shown in FIG. 60, the player's eyes can be enjoyed by displaying the character “Tatsuyoshi Kuma” or the like on the first effect symbol display device 21A.

  Moreover, as a symbol fixed display pattern of the pseudo effect symbols 70A and 70B in the first effect symbol display device 21A and the second effect symbol display device 21B, as shown in FIGS. 61 to 63, the pseudo effect of the first effect symbol display device 21A. The fluctuations in the symbol 70A may be stopped one by one, and the fluctuations in the pseudo effect symbol 70B of the second effect symbol display device 21B may be stopped simultaneously with the stop of the last symbol fluctuation.

Furthermore, as the symbol fixed display patterns of the pseudo effect symbols 70A and 70B, as shown in FIGS. 64 to 67, the fluctuation of the pseudo effect symbol 70A of the first effect symbol display device 21A and the pseudo effect symbol of the second effect symbol display device 21B. The change of 70B may be alternately stopped one digit at a time, and the last one digit of both pseudo-direction symbols 70A and 70B may be stopped simultaneously. Even if different rendering modes are displayed in this way, by giving a sense of unity to the stop timing of each symbol, it is possible to experience that it is a rendering based on a single determination of success / failure and to stop at a certain rhythm. Thus, both production modes are viewed in accordance with the stop timing of the symbol, and it is possible to avoid a situation in which only one production mode is seen and the other production output is wasted.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, a predetermined number of game balls are enclosed in a pachinko machine base, and the enclosed game balls are launched toward the game area of the game board, and the launched game balls are collected and collected. You may apply to the enclosed pachinko machine which plays a game using a predetermined number of game balls inside by circulating a game ball again.

Further, it is conceivable to implement not only a configuration in which a plurality of effect symbol display devices are provided on the game board but also a configuration in which a display device is provided in the game frame (frame side display device).
Further, when using the frame side display device, it may be possible to display an effect display regardless of the game.
The frame side display device is provided so that it can be selected between a state that operates according to an instruction from the sub-integrated control device 42 and a state that operates independently, and when it operates independently, an effect display is displayed regardless of the progress of the game. It is possible to do it. For example, in the case of a gaming machine with a certain drama as a motif, an effect display is performed based on the result of the determination of success / failure in the effect display with the drama as a motif on the game board side effect symbol display device. You can browse dramas regardless of the progress of the game. In this way, a player who is interested in the drama can enjoy the effect display using the drama as a motif, and can also enjoy the drama itself while playing it.
As a configuration, in a gaming machine provided with a frame-side effect display device in a game frame and a board-side effect display device in a game board, the frame-side effect display device operates in accordance with an instruction from a sub integrated control device. It has an operation state and a second operation state that operates independently. In the second operation state, when the power is turned on, an effect display is executed regardless of the progress of the game. In the first operation state, sub-integration is performed. A gaming machine that performs effect display in conjunction with the board-side effect display device according to an instruction from the control device.

In addition, it is also conceivable to provide an earphone jack in the game frame that is effective only in the second operation state because of the effect display not related to the game. If this is the case, even in a noisy gaming facility, it is possible to reliably hear the sound of the production display (drama).
In addition, if the effect display is performed regardless of the game, there is a possibility that a player who keeps watching only the effect display without playing the game may appear. It is conceivable that the effect display is started on the condition that a game has been performed, such as detection of. At the same time, after the effect display is started, the effect display is stopped unless the game ball is fired, the winning detection, or the out mouth detection is detected for a predetermined period, so that only the player who is playing can enjoy the effect display. It is possible. By providing an effect display that is almost unaffected by the progress of the game, even a player who gets tired of the game itself can enjoy the operation support effect of continuing the game in order to see the effect display on the frame side display device.
