Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine configured to be able to execute a winning game when a winning determination is made in accordance with the winning of a game ball in a start winning portion.

  Pachinko machines, which are typical gaming machines, have a starting prize opening (starting prize winning section) and symbols that can be used for pachinko balls on a game board where game areas where pachinko balls (game balls) can flow down are defined. A symbol display device (display means) such as a liquid crystal type or a drum type that displays a variation is provided, and the symbol of the symbol display device is triggered by the pachinko ball flowing down the game area winning the starting prize opening. It is configured to initiate fluctuations. In such a pachinko machine, by winning a jackpot determination that is triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball at the start winning opening, a predetermined jackpot display (for example, a triple of the same pattern, etc.) is displayed on the symbol display device. As a result, a jackpot game advantageous to the player is awarded. In such a jackpot game, the opening and closing member of the special prize device that closes the special prize opening so as to be opened and closed is opened and closed with an appropriate opening and closing pattern to give a chance to win a pachinko ball to the special prize opening. You can get a prize ball.

  Also, in the pachinko machine, the opening / closing pattern of the opening / closing member in the special winning device is different from the big hit game, and a small hit game with a smaller number of winning balls can be obtained compared to the big hit game, and the small hit game By setting the winning probability higher than the big hit game, it has been proposed to improve the interest of the game by increasing the number of balls (pachinko balls that the player can play) by the small hit game (for example, (See Patent Document 1).

JP 2006-6411 A

  The pachinko machine disclosed in the patent document is configured to make a big hit determination based on a winning at a first start winning opening provided on a game board and to make a small hit determination based on a winning at a second starting winning opening. In such a configuration, it is not possible to increase the number of balls efficiently due to the small hit game.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve this problem in view of the above-mentioned problems inherent in gaming machines according to the prior art, and it is possible to efficiently increase the number of balls by small hit games. It aims at providing the gaming machine which can improve interest.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the intended purpose, the invention according to claim 1 of the present application is
A hit determination means (60a) for performing a hit determination triggered by a winning of a game ball to the first start winning section (29, 30) or the second start winning section (31), and the first start winning section (29, 30) 30) The first display means (50A) for changing the symbol in response to the winning of 30) and the second for changing the symbol in response to winning in the second starting winning portion (31) A second display means (50B) for performing symbol variation, and a special winning portion (33, 35) for opening and closing the special winning opening (33a, 35a) through which the game ball can be won by the opening / closing means (33b, 35b), In the gaming machine in which a winning game is performed in which the opening / closing means (33b, 35b) opens the special winning opening (33a, 35a) after completion of symbol variation when the winning determination means (60a) determines that it is a win.
While the symbol variation is being executed in one of the display means (50A, 50B) of the first display means (50A) and the second display means (50B), the symbol variation is detected in the other display means (50A, 50B). Configured to be able to
The winning game includes a big hit game given when it is determined that the hit determination means (60a) has won a big hit, and a small hit in which the winning probability in the hit determination means (60a) is set higher than the big win. Is set as a small hit game that is given when the hit determination means (60a) determines that it has been won,
The probability of winning a small win in the hit determination triggered by winning in the second start winning portion (31) is the small hit in the hit determination triggered by winning in the first start winning portion (29, 30). Is set higher than the probability of winning,
During the execution of the second symbol variation based on the winning that is determined to have won the big win in the winning determination at the winning of the second starting winning portion (31), the first display means (50A) When a specific display result is displayed as a result of the symbol variation of 1, the hit determination result corresponding to the second symbol variation being executed is forcibly deviated and the result of the second symbol variation is displayed. It is configured to end with an outlier display or to interrupt the running second symbol variation,

A second variation pattern table (ST2) in which a plurality of variation patterns defining the variation time of the second symbol variation is defined;
Fluctuation pattern determining means (60a) for determining a variation pattern from the corresponding first or second variation pattern table (ST1, ST2) triggered by winning the first or second start winning section (29, 30, 31) ), And the symbol variation is performed by the corresponding first or second display unit (50A, 50B) based on the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination unit (60a).
When the winning determination means (60a) determines that the big win has been won by winning the second start winning portion (31), the fluctuation pattern determining means (60a) is configured to receive the second fluctuation pattern table ( The average variation time (VA2) of the variation pattern that can be determined from ST2) is the variation pattern determining means (60a) as the variation pattern of the first symbol variation in which a specific display result is displayed on the first display means (50A). ) Is set longer than the average variation time (VA1) of the variation pattern that can be determined from the first variation pattern table (ST1),
The jackpot game that is awarded when it is determined that the jackpot is won by the winning judgment triggered by winning the second start winning section (31) includes the first kind jackpot game and the first kind jackpot game. The second type big hit game that is more advantageous for the player is set,
In the variation time of the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determining means (60a) as the variation pattern of the second symbol variation when winning the first type big hit game, the first display means (50A) is specified. As a variation pattern of the first symbol variation in which the display result is displayed, a variation pattern set longer than the variation time of the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination means (60a) is determined.
The average variation time (VA5) of the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determining means (60a) when the second type big hit game is won is the variation pattern determining means (VA5) when the first type big hit game is won. The gist is that it is set to be different from the average fluctuation time (VA6) of the fluctuation pattern determined by 60a).

According to this, since it is possible to win a small hit game in response to winning in a plurality of start winning portions, it is possible to increase the number of balls efficiently by the small hit game. Further, since the second symbol variation of the big hit based on the winning in the second starting winning portion can be stopped at a deviation when a specific display result is displayed on the first display means, the probability of winning the small hit game It is possible to increase the chances of winning a small hit game by increasing the number of hit determinations based on winning in the second start winning portion with a high.
In addition, since the big win symbol variation triggered by winning the second start winning portion is likely to be stopped, the chance to win the small hit game is increased by the hit determination based on the winning to the second starting winning portion. obtain.
Further, it is possible to increase the chances of winning the small hit game by increasing the number of hit determinations based on winning in the second start winning portion while avoiding the execution of the first type big hit game that is disadvantageous to the player. .
Furthermore, the interest of the game can be improved by reducing the possibility that the second type big hit game advantageous to the player is lost.

The present application includes the following technical ideas.
Each time a starting ball (29, 30, 31) wins a game ball at a predetermined rate, the other starting ball (29, 30, 31) wins a game ball at a predetermined rate. Is the gist.
According to this, the opportunity which can stop the 2nd symbol fluctuation | variation based on the winning to a 2nd start winning part can be generated in a predetermined ratio.

When the decorations of 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, and 44c are winning symbol combinations, it is possible to grasp that a winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is given. Here, in the embodiment, a symbol combination (for example, “222”, “777”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is fixed and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 and 45 of each symbol row is set as the jackpot symbol combination. ing. The combination of symbols of the decorative drawing that can recognize the jackpot becomes the jackpot display displayed on the first or second display device 17, 43, and the jackpot game advantageous to the player after the end of the symbol variation effect in which the jackpot display is displayed. Is granted. In addition, in the embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned basic decorative drawing that is variably displayed on the first or second display device 17 or 43, it is set so that a special decorative drawing (special symbol) can be displayed. A special big hit game or a small hit game is given by displaying the special decorative drawing in a fixed stop display at any of the effective stop positions 27, 45 of the row (for example, the effective stop positions 27, 45 of the middle symbol row). It is configured to be able to recognize. A symbol combination of decorative figures that can recognize the possibility of occurrence of the big hit game or the small hit game becomes a hit suggestion display displayed on the first or second display device 17 or 43. On the other hand, if even one of the symbols in all rows displayed in a fixed stop display at the effective stop positions 27, 45 of the first or second display device 17, 43 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, From “734”, “171”, etc.), it can be recognized that in principle it is a “out of game” to which no big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing which can recognize this deviation becomes a deviation display of the first or second display device 17 or 43. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as an opportunity to execute a predetermined performance (for example, a predetermined big hit game or a small hit game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same. is there. A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. Specific examples of the specific symbol combination include symbol combinations (eg, “123” and “321”) in which three rows of decorative drawings are arranged in ascending or descending order, the left symbol rows 26a and 44a, and the middle symbol row. 26b and 44b are the same, and the right symbol row 26c and 44c is the same as the symbol combination of the symbols 26c and 44c (for example, “778”). (For example, “758” (Nagoya)). As described above, the specific symbol combination is a symbol pattern combination that can be selected not only as the off-line display result but also as the winning display result (big hit display result or small hit display result).

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol row (in the embodiment, the left symbol row 26a, 44a and the right symbol row 26c, 44c) among the plurality of symbol rows, and The remaining symbol row (in the embodiment, the middle symbol row 26b, 44b) is displayed in a variably displayed manner (reach display) so that the player can recognize that the reach has occurred. . As a specific example of reach display, a combination of symbols in which the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 26a, 44a and the right symbol row 26c, 44c (“1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.) It becomes. In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. In addition, the decorative symbols of the specific symbol rows (the left symbol rows 26a and 44a and the right symbol rows 26c and 44c) that form the reach display are in a temporarily stopped display state, and the remaining symbol rows (the middle symbol row). 26b, 44b), after the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display), the decorative drawings of all the symbol sequences are fixedly stopped and displayed.

  As a result of the first special figure variation display in the first special figure display section 50A, the first display device 17 displays the symbol combination of the decorative figure corresponding to the special figure 1 to be displayed. That is, the special symbol 1 displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A corresponds to the symbol combination of the decorative graphic displayed on the first display device 17, and when the first symbol variation effect ends, The special figure 1 is fixedly stopped on the first special figure display section 50A, and the decorative figures are fixedly stopped and displayed on the first symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c of the first display device 17. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing 1 is not necessarily one-to-one, so that the combination of symbols with one decorative drawing is selected from the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing 1. It has become.

  On the second display device 43, as a result of the second special figure fluctuation display in the second special figure display unit 50B, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing corresponding to the special figure 2 to be displayed is displayed. That is, the special figure 2 displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B corresponds to the symbol combination of the decorative figure displayed on the second display device 43, and when the second symbol variation effect ends, The special figure 2 is confirmed and stopped on the two special figure display unit 50B, and the decorative figure is confirmed and stopped on the second symbol rows 44a, 44b, and 44c of the second display device 43. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing 2 is not limited to one-to-one, so that the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing 2. It has become.

(About probability change)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said special prize opening is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball in the special winning opening can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is based on the condition that a pachinko ball is detected by the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 of the second special winning unit 35 (entering a pachinko ball into the specific area) in a specific round during the big hit game. It is possible to give a probability variation state in which the lottery probability (hit probability) is changed from a low probability (1 / 19.56 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1 / 7.53 in the embodiment) after the game). It is a function to do. Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. The low probability and the high probability are examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. In the embodiment, when the probability variation state is given, the probability variation state is continuously given until the predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) is executed after the end of the big hit game. In the embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the probability variation state is set to be continuously given until 1000 symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) are executed. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur. Playing games while expecting. Note that the period during which the probability variation state is given (hereinafter, the number of variations of the symbol variation effect (special variation variation display) in which the probability variation state continues is referred to as the probability variation number) is not limited to the above. For example, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the big hit game is generated.

  Here, as will be described later, when the probability change state is given after the big hit game ends, “1” is set to the probability change flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the probability change state is not given. The probability variation flag is set to “0”. The probability variation count is set in a probability variation count counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the value of the counter is decremented by 1 for each symbol variation effect (for each special diagram variation display), and is set to “0”. When it becomes, the probability variation flag is set to “0”.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31a increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 31b that opens the second start winning opening 31a, it is possible to increase the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 31a. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 31b for opening the second start winning opening 31a for one time per normal figure, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 31b. This can also be realized by increasing the number of times the member 31b is opened, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state in the example is set to combine the above (1) to (3). In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31a is improved.

  That is, in the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed on the general map display unit 55 in the non-changed state is set to 6000 ms, and the change of the normal map change display performed on the general map display unit 55 in the variable state. The time is set to 520 ms, which is shorter than that of the non-changeable state, and the change time of the normal figure change display performed in the normal figure display unit 55 is shortened with the provision of the changeable state. In addition, the winning probability of the determination per map in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (16384/65536 in the embodiment), and the winning probability of the determination per map in the variable state is a high probability (in the embodiment). , 65535/65536), and with the provision of the variable state, the winning probability of the determination per common figure varies from a low probability to a high probability. Note that, in the embodiment, the interval between the normal map being displayed in a fixed stop state and the next normal map change (the normal map change interval) is set to 500 ms. In the variable state, the open / close member 31b is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the non-variable state. Specifically, in the non-variable short state, when winning in the normal map change display (in the case of the normal map), a predetermined time (300 ms in the embodiment) after the opening / closing member 31b of the second start winning portion 31 is opened. Opening operation to maintain the open state is performed once until) elapses. On the other hand, in the variable state, when the normal map change display is won (in the case of the normal map), a predetermined time (5800 ms in the embodiment) elapses after the opening / closing member 31b of the second start winning portion 31 is opened. Until then, the opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once. That is, in the variable speed state, the total opening time of the opening / closing member 31b of the second start winning portion 31 is longer than that in the non-variable state, and is set to operate advantageously for the player. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (5 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second start winning port 31a per one time is set, and the number of winnings after opening the opening / closing member 31b is set. The opening / closing member 31b is closed when the upper limit number of winnings (closing condition) is reached.

  Here, as described later, when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game, “1” is set to the variable flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the variable state is given. If not, the variable flag is set to “0”. Further, the number of times of change is set in a change number of times counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the value of the counter is decremented by 1 for each symbol change effect (for each special figure change display). "", The variable flag is set to "0".

  In the embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines that the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects the pachinko ball in the specific round and gives a probable change state after the big hit game is finished when the big hit is won. The main control CPU 60a is set to determine that the variable state is continuously given after the big hit game is finished until a predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) is executed. In the embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, it is set so that the variable state is continuously given until the symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is executed 1000 times. If the main control CPU 60a determines that the certain change state is not given after the big hit game is finished by the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 not detecting the pachinko ball in the specific round of the big hit game, the main control CPU 60a It is set to decide not to give a variable state after the game is over. That is, the main control CPU 60a decides to give a bonus when the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects a pachinko ball during a specific round of the big hit game, and decides to give a winning rate improvement state (variable state). It has a function as a means.

(About jackpot games)
Next, the jackpot game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. The jackpot game is set to start after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special chart display portions 50A and 50B as a result of the special chart fluctuation display, and after the opening effect indicating the start of the jackpot game, The game is composed of a round game that is repeated by a specified number of rounds to be performed (two rounds in the embodiment) with an interval time between rounds, and an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game. In the round game, the opening / closing members 33b and 35b of the special winning portions 33 and 35 are opened and closed in accordance with the type of the big hit game that has occurred, and the specified number of special winning openings 33a and 35a in the single round game. One round game is ended when a pachinko ball (two in the embodiment) wins or when a prescribed time (round game time) has elapsed since the start of each round game. In addition, during each round game in the big hit game, an interval time between rounds in which the opening and closing members 33b and 35b are held in a closed state for a predetermined time is set.

  Here, the open / close mode (open / close pattern) of the open / close members 33b, 35b of the special winning portions 33, 35 in each round game of the jackpot game is set to one time under the condition that the pachinko balls are continuously fired at a predetermined interval. In the opening operation (operation from opening until closing), a long-time opening operation that continues to open for a specified number of pachinko balls determined for a round game (for example, 2), and the long-time opening A short-time opening operation in which the opening time of the opening / closing members 33b and 35b is set shorter than the operation is appropriately combined. In the embodiment, the opening and closing members 33b and 35b are set to open for a maximum of 25 seconds in the long-time opening operation, and the opening and closing members 33b and 35b are set to a maximum of 0.06 seconds in the first short-time opening operation described later. The opening / closing members 33b and 35b are set to open for a maximum of 1.5 seconds in the second short-time opening operation. The interval time between rounds of the big hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

(About types of jackpot games)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the jackpot determination is won, one jackpot game is determined from a plurality of types (two types in the embodiment) of jackpot games having different values to be given to the player. A jackpot game is awarded. Here, of the two types of jackpot games, which jackpot game will be awarded, as shown in FIG. 3, the jackpot symbol determined when winning the jackpot determination (Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2) It is determined based on the type. In the embodiment, the special figure 1 as the jackpot symbol that can be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A (100 kinds of special figures 1 in the embodiment) is classified into two groups, the symbol A and the symbol B. When the special figure 1 that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the one special figure display unit 50A is a big hit symbol, a big hit game corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol (design A, B) is given. In the embodiment, the special figure 2 (100 kinds of special figures 2 in the embodiment) as the jackpot symbol that can be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B is classified into two groups, the symbol a and the symbol b. When the special figure 2 that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B is a big hit symbol, a big hit game corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol (the symbols a and b) is given. Special Figure 1 as 100 types of jackpot symbols is assigned to 90 types for Symbol A and 10 types are assigned to Symbol B, and Special Drawing 2 as 100 types of jackpot symbols is 90 types for Symbol a and Symbol b. There are 10 types.

(About probable big hit games)
The special figure 1 as a jackpot symbol classified as the symbol A is displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A, or the special figure 2 as a jackpot symbol classified as the symbol a is displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B. In such a case, a probable big hit game (type 2 big hit game) is given as the big hit game. In the probability variation big hit game, when the main control CPU 60a determines the probability variation big hit game, the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 and the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35 are opened for a long time. It is set as a big hit game to let you. Moreover, in the specific round (one round in an Example) which open | releases the 2nd opening / closing member 35b of the 2nd special prize-winning part 35, the said guide body is set so that the attitude | position displacement may be carried out from a 1st attitude | position to a 2nd attitude | position. That is, in the probability variation big hit game, the pachinko ball can be won in the specific area by displacing the guide body to the second posture in a specific round, so that the probability variation state can be given with high probability after the big hit game ends. It is set as a big hit game. In the probable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit determination, it is decided that the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 detects the pachinko ball and gives the probable change state in a specific round (one round in the embodiment). In this case, after the jackpot game ends, the probability variation state and the variation state continue until the preset number of symbol variation effects (special diagram variation display) is executed (1000 times in the embodiment). It is to be granted. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment in which the big hit probability in the probability variation state is set to a high probability (1 / 7.53), if the probability variation number (number of variation) is set to 1000 times, the next time is practically the next time. This is equivalent to giving a probable change state (short state) until the big hit of is generated. In addition, in the probable big hit game, if the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 does not detect the pachinko ball in the specific round and does not decide to give the probable state, it does not decide to give the short state. Is set to

  The probability variation jackpot game is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “2”, and the upper limit number of winnings in each round is set to “2”. In the probable big hit game, in the first round (specific round), the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35 is opened for a long time, and in the second round, the first special winning portion 33 has the first opening. One opening / closing member 33b is set to open for a long time. In the probable big hit game, “25.00 (seconds)” is set as one round time in all rounds, and the first opening / closing member 33b or the second opening / closing member 35b is “25” at the maximum in each round. .00 (seconds) "is set to perform an opening operation (long-time opening operation).

(About non-probable big hit games)
The special figure 1 as a jackpot symbol classified as the symbol B is displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A, or the special figure 2 as a jackpot symbol classified as the symbol b is displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B. In such a case, a non-probable big hit game (type 1 big hit game) is awarded as a big hit game. In the non-probability big hit game, when the main control CPU 60a determines the non-probability big hit game, the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 and the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35 are set for a long time. It is set as a big hit game that is opened for a short time and opened for a short time. In the specific round (one round in the embodiment) in which the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35 is opened, the guide body is set to be held in the first posture. That is, in the non-probability big hit game, the pachinko ball cannot win in the specific area because the guide body is not displaced in the second posture in the specific round, so that the big hit game where the probable change state cannot be given after the big hit game ends. It is set as a game.

  The non-probable big hit game is a big hit game in which the prescribed round number is set to “2”, and the upper limit number of winnings in each round is set to “2”. In the non-probable big hit game, in the first round (specific round), the second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35 is opened for the first short time, and in the second round, the first special prize is won. The first opening / closing member 33b of the section 33 is set to open for a long time. That is, in the non-probable big hit game, “0.06 (seconds)” is set as the round time in the first round, and the second opening / closing member 35b is set to “0.06 (maximum) in the first round. Second) ”, the opening time (first short time opening operation) is set to“ 25.00 (seconds) ”as the round time in the second round, and the second round The first opening / closing member 33b is set to perform an opening operation (long-time opening operation) for a long time of "25.00 (seconds)" at the maximum. That is, in the first round game time (0.06 (seconds)) in the non-probable big hit game, the number of pachinko balls won in the second special prize opening 35a in the first round game satisfies the upper limit number of prizes. There is no set time. As described above, the non-probability big hit game is set as a big hit game in which almost no winning ball can be expected in the first round, and the number of winning balls is smaller than the probability big hit game.

  In the embodiment, in the case of a probable big hit game (symbol A, a), the guide body switches from the first posture to the second posture in a specific round, whereas in the case of a non-probable big hit game (symbol B, b), The guide body is set to be held in the first posture in the specific round. That is, the probability that the probability variation state is given is 0% in the non-probability large hit game (symbol B, b), whereas the probability variation big hit game (symbol A, a) is the non-probability large hit game (symbol B, b). ) Is set as a big hit game with a higher probability of being given a certain probability change state. In addition, the number of rounds for both probabilistic big hit games and non-probable big hit games is set to two, but in non-probable big hit games, it is set so that a prize ball can only be obtained in one round. In addition, the probable big hit game is advantageous over the non-probable big hit game in terms of the number of prize balls that a player can acquire. That is, the probability variation big hit game (type 2 big hit game) is set as a big hit game (win game) that is more advantageous to the player than the non-probability big hit game (first type big hit game). Note that the type of jackpot game is not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate.

  In addition, the pachinko ball detection probability by the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 is changed by changing the posture change pattern in which the guide body switches between the first posture and the second posture according to the type of jackpot game (type of symbol). May be configured so that the probability of giving the probability variation state (variation state) changes. Also, regardless of the type of jackpot game (type of symbol), the second opening / closing member according to the type of jackpot game (type of symbol) while switching the guide body from the first posture to the second posture in a specific round. By changing the opening pattern (opening time, etc.) of 35b, the detection probability of the pachinko sphere by the specific area entrance detection sensor 42 can be changed.

(About small hit games)
Next, the small hit game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. The small hit game is set to start after the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure display units 50A and 50B as a result of the special figure variation display, and the opening / closing operation according to the type of the small hit game generated. Thus, after the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 is opened / closed, an ending effect indicating the end of the small hit game is set. Here, in the small hit game, on the condition that the pachinko balls are continuously fired, an opening / closing operation is performed in which the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 is opened for a time during which several pachinko balls can win. It is configured as follows. That is, the small hit game includes an opening operation including a second short time opening operation (short time opening) in which the opening time is set shorter than the long time opening operation. A hit game to be performed by 33b is configured. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit determination. That is, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the small hit determination, the probability change state is continuously given even after the small hit game is finished, while if the probability change state is not given, the probability change state is also given after the small hit game is finished. It will not be granted. In addition, if the short state is given at the time of winning the small hit determination, the short state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit game. No variable state is given. Further, the small hit probability for winning a small hit in the small hit determination is set to be the same regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is imparted and whether or not the short variation state is imparted. That is, the small hit probability does not change due to a change in the gaming state.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, one kind of small hit game that is given when the small hit determination is won is set, and the small hit game has a single opening time of “1.5 (seconds). Is set to cause the first opening / closing member 33b of the first special winning portion 33 to perform once. In the embodiment, one type of small hit game is set. However, a plurality of types of small hit games having different opening operation modes (time and the number of times of opening) of the first opening / closing member 33b may be set. When the type of small hit game is set, the type of the small hit game may be determined according to the type of the small hit symbol stopped and displayed on the special figure display portions 50A and 50B.

(About the game production mode)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment includes a plurality of (two in the embodiment) game effect modes in which the effect contents (display contents) of the symbol variation effect executed by the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are different. Yes. Here, in the game effect mode, the first and second display devices 17 and 43 display a game state suggestion image that suggests to the player whether or not the current game state is a probable change state or a change state. To play games. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the game effect mode can be changed when a predetermined mode transition condition is satisfied. Here, in the embodiment, the occurrence of the big hit game and the number of changes (1000 times in the embodiment) of the symbol change effect (first and second special figure change display) after the big hit game are set as the mode transition conditions.

  The game effect mode according to the embodiment includes a normal mode corresponding to a game state (non-probability change / non-change state) determined to be given neither a probability change state nor a change state by the main control CPU 60a, and a probability change state. And a probability change mode corresponding to the gaming state (probability change / short change state) in which it is determined to give both of the short and short states is set. Note that the types of game effect modes are not limited to these, and other game effect modes can be set. Further, the game state suggestion images displayed on the first and second display devices 17 and 43 in each of the game effect modes (the normal mode and the probability change mode) do not need to be one type, and for each of these game effect modes. A plurality of types of game state suggestion images can be set.

  The first and second display devices 17 and 43 are configured to display game state suggestion images having contents corresponding to the game effect mode. Specifically, the background image displayed on the back of the decorative drawing of the first and second display devices 17 and 43 is set to be different for each game effect mode, and the current game effect mode is determined from the type of the background image. Can be recognized by the player. In addition, in each game effect mode, some or all of the contents of the effect of the symbol variation effect (special pattern variation pattern and effect pattern described later) performed on the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are different. It is set so that a specific effect can be executed for each game effect mode.

  The main control CPU 60a confirms that the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 29a, 30a or the second start winning opening 31a (more specifically, the first start winning detection sensors 37, 38 or the second start winning detection sensor 39). Is set to acquire a random number for determination as winning information. Here, as the determination random numbers (winning information) acquired by the main control CPU 60a, a random number for determination per special figure, a random number for determination of special figure, a random number for distribution of special figure variation, a random number for determination per common figure, a normal figure Various random numbers such as decision random numbers are set. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these values at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the values before the update. A random number for determination corresponding to the timing at which the detection signals of the second start winning detection sensors 37, 38, 39 are input to the main control CPU 60a is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  The random number for judgment per special figure is used in the hit judgment (big hit judgment and small hit judgment) as to whether or not a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is generated as a result of the special figure change display (design fluctuation effect). It is a random number. In this embodiment, 65536 integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per special figure, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Further, the special figure determining random number determines the special figure 1 to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A and the special figure 2 to be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B according to the result of the big hit determination. It is a random number to be used. Here, in the embodiment, as the special figure determination random numbers, all 102 integer values from “0” to “101” are set and updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Yes. Each value of the special figure determination random number includes a random number corresponding to one kind of special figure display showing the above-mentioned deviation, a random number corresponding to one kind of special figure display showing the winning of the small hit, and winning of the big hit Random numbers corresponding to the 100 types of special figure display shown are set, and the special figure 1 or second special figure display displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A in a fixed stop state according to the value of the special figure determining random number. The special figure 2 displayed in a fixed stop state on the part 50B is specified. That is, the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A is specified by the value of the special figure determination random number acquired in response to the detection of the first start winning detection sensors 37 and 38, and the second Based on the value of the special figure determination random number acquired in response to the detection of the start winning detection sensor 39, the special figure 2 that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B is specified. As described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbols are classified according to the type of the jackpot game, and the special figure fluctuation display is performed by specifying the special figure 1 or the special figure 2. The type of jackpot game given after the end of (symbol variation effect) is specified. In the embodiment, since one kind of small hit game is set as described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the small hit game are specified and given after the end of the symbol variation effect. Small hit games are also uniquely identified. That is, the special figure determining random number has a function as a random number for determining the type of winning game (big hit game or small hit game). In addition, as described above, there is a possibility that a probability change state and a variable state will be given after the big hit game for each type of big hit game, and the special figure determination random number will give a probability change state and a variable state. It also has a function as a random number.

  The random number for distribution of the special figure fluctuation pattern is from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation) or the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation) until the fixed stop display. When determining one special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns that specify the contents of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) executed in the meantime and the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) It is a random number used for. In the embodiment, 251 kinds of integer values from “0” to “250” are set as random numbers for distributing the special figure variation pattern, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Yes.

  In the pachinko machine of the embodiment, the pachinko ball is awarded to the first start winning opening 29a, 30a or the second starting winning opening 31a for the special figure determination random number, the special figure determining random number, and the special figure variation pattern distribution random number. Each random number temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c triggered by the fact (more specifically, the first start winning detection sensor 37, 38 or the second start winning detection sensor 39 has detected a pachinko ball) Are acquired at the same timing by the main control CPU 60a. Further, each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 29a, 30a is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31a. Are commonly used, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 29a, 30a, 31a.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a uses various random numbers as passage detection information triggered by the pachinko ball passing through the ball passage gate 46 (more specifically, when the ball passage detection sensor 47 detects the pachinko ball). It is set to get. Here, as the random numbers that the main control CPU 60a acquires upon the detection of the ball passage detection sensor 47, various random numbers such as a random number for normal figure determination and a random number for determining a normal pattern variation pattern are set. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these random number values in a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated random number values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the values before the update. A random number is acquired in accordance with the timing at which the detection signal of the passage detection sensor 47 is input to the main control CPU 60a. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Further, the passage (entrance) detection information (various random values) acquired when the pachinko sphere passes through the ball passage detection sensor 47 is a predetermined map storage area ( The storage area is temporarily stored and held. In the case where the general map storage area is stored in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c, and the general map display unit 55 executes the variable map display based on the general map start hold information. In the order stored in the main control RAM 60c, the general-purpose start suspension information is read out by the main control CPU 60a.

  The random number for determining per base figure is a per base figure that allows the pachinko ball to be awarded to the second start winning opening 31a by opening the opening / closing member 31b of the second start winning portion 31 as a result of the normal figure change. This is a random number used in the normal figure judgment (ordinary hit judgment). In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The random number for determining the normal figure variation pattern is a random number used for determining the normal figure fluctuation pattern that defines the fluctuation time of the normal figure fluctuation in the normal figure fluctuation display. In the embodiment, nine types of integer values from “0” to “8” are set as random numbers for normal pattern variation pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Yes. Then, the passage detection information temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c triggered by the passage of the pachinko ball through the ball passage gate 46 (more specifically, the ball passage detection sensor 47 detects the pachinko ball). The main control CPU 60a acquires the random number for determining the normal map and the random number for determining the normal pattern variation pattern at the same timing.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a big hit determination value indicating that a big hit is generated as a result of the special figure change display (design change effect). The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not a big hit is made using the determination random number per special figure (big hit determination), and is a value from “0” to “65535” that the random number for determination per special figure can take. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from a total of 65536 integers. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is applied at the time when the jackpot determination is performed. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (in the embodiment, the number that the winning probability of the jackpot is 1 / 7.53) is the jackpot determination value set in the non-probability variation state. It is set to be larger than the number of values (in the embodiment, the number at which the jackpot winning probability is 1 / 19.56). That is, the big hit is likely to occur by increasing the set number of big hit judgment values in the probability variation state.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The determination value for special figure determination is displayed on the fixed stop display on the special figure 1 or the second special figure display unit 50B as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special drawing display unit 50A when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol using the special figure determining random number. Here, in the embodiment, the special figure determining determination value is set with an integer value of “0” to “101” corresponding to the above-described 102 types of special figure determining random numbers. Special figure 1 and special figure 2 are associated with each value individually.

  The main control ROM 60b stores a small hit determination value indicating that a small hit is generated as a result of the special symbol variation display (design variation effect). The small hit determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not a small hit (small hit determination) using the special figure determination random number when the result of the big hit determination is negative (not a big hit), A predetermined number of determination values are determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for determination per special figure (in the embodiment, all 65536 integers from “0” to “65535”). That is, the special figure per-determination random number is a random number used in the big hit determination and the small hit determination. Note that it is also possible to individually set a big hit determination random number for big hit determination and a small hit determination random number for small hit determination as the special figure determination random numbers. Here, the small hit determination value is triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 37, 38, or when the winning information (random number for determination per special figure) is acquired, or triggered by the detection of the second start winning detection sensor 39. The number of determination values set varies depending on whether winning information (random numbers for determination per special figure) has been acquired. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values set when winning information (random numbers for determination per special figure) is acquired triggered by detection of the first start winning detection sensors 37 and 38 (in the embodiment, small The number that the winning probability is 1 / 19.56) is a small hit determination value that is set when winning information (random number for determination per special figure) is acquired triggered by the detection of the second start winning detection sensor 39 The number is set to be smaller than the number (in the embodiment, the number having a small hit probability of 1 / 1.15). That is, a small hit game is more likely to occur when triggered by the detection of the second start winning detection sensor 39 than when triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensors 37, 38 (small hit probability). Is high.

  Here, in the probability variation state, in the hit determination based on the winning to the first start winning opening 29a, 30a, the probability of winning the probability variation big hit and the small hit is set higher than the probability of winning the non-probability big hit. . In other words, when winning in the first start winning opening 29a, 30a in the probability variation state, it is difficult to win the non-probability big hit that is not advantageous to the player, and it is prevented that the probability variation state is not given by winning the non-probability big hit. To get. In the probability variation state, in the winning determination based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31a, the probability of winning a small win is set higher than the probability of winning a big win. That is, when a pachinko ball is won at the second start winning opening 31a in the probability variation state, the probability that the small hit game is given is higher than the probability that the probability variation state is not awarded by winning the non-probability big hit, The frequency with which the small hit game is given in the state can be increased.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change display. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the non-variable state (example). In this case, more than 1125) are set. In other words, by increasing the number of determination values per common map in the variable state, it is easy for the normal map to occur.

  Furthermore, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns (fluctuation patterns) for specifying the fluctuation contents, and the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to each special figure fluctuation pattern. It is remembered. Here, the special figure fluctuation pattern is a display content (contents of the special figure fluctuation display, which is executed between the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display and the final stop display. The basic content of the design variation display content, the light emission effect mode, and the sound effect mode) is specified. Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (the special figure fluctuation display and the pattern from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop state. The time of variation production is specified. Special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern using the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined determination value is assigned to each special figure fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation pattern to which the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number is assigned is specified.

  The special figure fluctuation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b are classified into a special figure fluctuation pattern for winning and a special figure fluctuation pattern for losing, and for each special figure fluctuation pattern depending on the game effect mode. A specific special figure variation pattern distribution determination value is defined. The special figure variation pattern for winning is a special figure variation pattern that can be determined when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative or when the result of the small hit determination is affirmative. Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern for loss is a special figure fluctuation pattern selected when the result of the hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) is negative. Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment includes a reach special figure fluctuation pattern which is finally made a deviation after the reach effect is performed, and a special figure fluctuation pattern which is a deviation without forming a reach. . Note that the reach effect is a winning display (big hit display or small hit display) or off display after the symbol combination of the effective symbols that will be reach display in the symbol variation effect is displayed on the first or second display device 17, 43. This is an effect that is performed until the symbol combination of the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed.

  Here, the reach effect is an effect that suggests a possibility that a winning display is displayed, and is performed with the reach display that is displayed on the first display device 17 or the second display device 43 in the process of symbol variation. Is called. In addition to the reach effect, the effect that suggests the possibility of the winning display being displayed is a plurality of consecutive decorations of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c in a single symbol combination effect. Quasi-continuous notice effect that temporarily stops temporarily, continuous notice effect (pre-reading notice effect) that makes it possible to continuously execute a change cycle from decoration start to change stop once, or first display The player is informed of the possibility that the hit display is displayed by the notice effect that suggests the possibility of being hit by the device 17 or the second display device 43, or by the sound of the lamp device 18 or the sound output from the speaker 19. There is a notice effect.

(About the production control board 65)

The effect control CPU 65a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated value in the setting area of the effect control RAM 65c, and rewrites the value before the update.

  The effect control ROM 65b stores an effect control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board 73. When the effect control CPU 65a inputs various control commands, the effect control CPU 65a executes various controls based on the effect control program.

(Display control board 70)
Next, the display control board 70 will be described with reference to FIG. The display control board 70 is provided with a display control CPU 70a. A display control ROM 70b and a display control RAM 70c are connected to the display control CPU 70a. The first and second display devices 17 and 43 are connected to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a).

The display control ROM 70b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  That is, a hit determination means for performing a hit determination (big hit or small hit determination) triggered by winning at the first start winning portion 29, 30 or the second start winning portion 31 is provided from a plurality of types of hit games Per game determination means (hit determination means) for determining the type of hit game (big hit game or small hit game) The main control CPU 60a has respective functions as game providing means. Specifically, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment functions as a jackpot determining means for determining a big hit triggered by winning the first start winning section 29, 30 or the second start winning section 31, and the determination of the jackpot determining means. A function as a small hit judging means for judging a small hit when the result is not a big hit is provided. The main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b based on winning in the first start winning section 29, 30 or the second start winning section 31. It has a function as a figure variation pattern determining means (variation pattern determining means). Although specifically described later, the main control CPU 60a as the special figure fluctuation pattern determining means is configured to determine one special figure fluctuation pattern from among a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns defined in the special figure fluctuation pattern table. Is done. The main control CPU 60a functions as a probability change determining means for determining whether a probability change state in which the probability of occurrence of a big hit (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is a big hit) is higher than usual is given. And, it is configured to function as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change state after the end of the big hit game. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the probability variation state is to be applied only when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the big hit determination means is a big hit).

  Further, the main control CPU 60a, when a big hit occurs (when the result of the big hit determination means is a big win), the winning rate improvement state in which the probability that the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31a is high ( It functions as a winning rate improvement state determination means for determining whether or not to give a (changing state), and as a changing state granting means for granting a changing state only during a period of giving a winning rate improvement state determined after the end of the big hit game Is also functioning. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines a period from the end of the big hit game until a predetermined number of special symbol variation display (symbol variation effect) is executed as a winning rate improvement state granting period. It is like that. As described above, the main control CPU 60a is advantageous to the player after the winning game based on the winning to the first starting winning portion 29, 30 or the second starting winning portion 31 when the determination result of the hit determination is winning. It has a function as a privilege state determination means for determining whether to grant a privilege state (probability change state, variable state). Further, the main control RAM 60c performs the special figure fluctuation display while the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are performing the symbol fluctuation effect (that is, the first and second special figure display sections 50A and 50B). The winning information acquired during the operation) functions as a holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of pieces of winning information as starting hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired with the detection of the first start winning detection sensors 37 and 38 while the variable display is performed on the display means (the first display device 17 or the first special figure display unit 50A). Of the second start winning detection sensor 39 while the variable display is being performed on the first hold storage means and the display means (the second display device 43 and the second special figure display unit 50B). It functions as a second hold storage means for storing the winning information acquired upon detection as the second start hold information.

  Next, a special figure input process and a special figure start process executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(Special drawing input process)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning ports 29a, 30a of the first start winning units 29, 30 (step A11). . That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal that is output when the first start winning detection sensors 37 and 38 corresponding to the first start winning ports 29a and 30a detect pachinko balls has been input. . And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the winning information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, values of random numbers for determination of special figures and random numbers of random numbers for distribution of special figure fluctuation patterns) from the main control RAM 60c, The winning information (random number value) is set as first special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15. In the embodiment, the first special figure start hold information is acquired in the winning order to the first start winning ports 29a, 30a without distinguishing the winnings of the left and right first start winning ports 29a, 30a, and the hold The upper limit of the number is set to four.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31a of the second start winning portion 31. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 39 corresponding to the second start winning opening 31a detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a reads out the winning information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, values of random numbers for determination of special figures and random numbers of random numbers for distribution of special figure fluctuation patterns) from the main control RAM 60c, The winning information (random number value) is set as second special figure start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is completed.

(Special drawing start process)

Composed. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes the first special figure start process and the second special figure start process at predetermined intervals (4 ms in the embodiment).

(About the first special figure start process)
In the first special figure starting process, as shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the special figure 1 is in a variable display (during symbol fluctuation production) in the first special figure display unit 50A (first display device 17). It is determined whether or not the big hit game or the small hit game is being played (step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether or not the number of hold of the first special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). When the determination result of step B13 is negative (when the number of first special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure start process. The main control CPU 60a also stores a special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the first special figure variation display is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the first special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14), and stores the first special figure stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. The main control CPU 60a acquires figure start hold information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, values of random numbers for special figure determination, and values of various random numbers such as random numbers for special figure variation pattern distribution) (step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a obtains the first special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored earlier is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the first special figure start hold information, and then stores the first special figure start hold information stored in the second special figure storage area in the second special figure storage area. One special figure starting hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the first special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The first special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special feature. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the first special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 52 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the first special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the stored big hit determination value (step B16). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination is positive when the non-probable change state (low probability) (that is, the big hit probability) is set to 1 / 19.56, and when the probability change state ( The probability (big hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative when the probability is high) is set to 1 / 7.53. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step B16 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the first big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B17). . Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A based on the acquired special figure determination random number (Step B18). ).

  Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 1, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets a game effect mode flag indicating a game effect mode (game state) after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol. Specifically, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1” when the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the probability variation flag is set to “0” when the jackpot symbol is not a probability variation state. To do. The probability variation flag is set to “0” when the probability variation flag end condition is satisfied. Also, if the big hit symbol is a big hit symbol that gives a variable state, the variable flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”, and if the big hit symbol that does not give a variable state, the variable flag is “0”. Set to. The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. Thus, the game effect mode is specified by the probability variation flag and the variation flag. When the big hit symbol (special diagram 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special diagram variation pattern tables NT and ST1, which will be described later according to the gaming state, based on the value of the random number for special diagram variation pattern distribution. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for jackpot (step B19).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B16 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs a small hit determination (win lottery) for determining whether or not to generate a small hit ( Step B21). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure determination random number obtained from the main control RAM 60c in the process of step B15 matches the small hit determination value. As described above, when winning information (random numbers for determining per special figure) is acquired triggered by the detection of the first start winning detection sensors 37 and 38, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (that is, The small hit probability) is set to 1 / 19.56. When the determination result of the small hit determination in step B21 is affirmative (when a small hit occurs), “1” is set to the first small hit flag indicating that the variation is a small hit. (Step B22). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1), which becomes the small hit symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A, based on the acquired special figure determination random number (Step 1). B23).

  Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the small hit symbol of the special figure 1, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the small hit symbol is determined. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are set to be maintained at the time of the small hit determination, and the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are not changed in the case of the small hit. It is configured. When the small hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT and ST1 described later according to the gaming state, and displays the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. Based on the value, one special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the special figure fluctuation patterns for small hits (step B24).

  When the determination result of the small hit determination of step B21 is negative (that is, when the big hit and the small hit are not), the main control CPU 60a finally displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A. It determines as a stop symbol (special figure 1) (step B25). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT and ST1 to be described later according to the gaming state, and based on the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number value, One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from (step B26). In step B26, either the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing without executing the reach effect or the special figure fluctuation pattern for reaching for executing the reach effect is determined.

  The main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern in the steps B19, B24, B26, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 65 at a predetermined timing (step B20). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a sets the variation time defined in the determined special diagram variation pattern in the first variation timer for special diagram 1 provided in the main control RAM 60c, and designates the special diagram variation pattern. At the same time, a special pattern variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation is output, subtraction by the first variation timer is started, and measurement of the variation time specified by the special diagram variation pattern is started. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display unit 50A so as to start the first special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 1 designation command for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the first special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the first special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. The display content of the special figure display unit 50A is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . Specifically, when the first variation timer times the variation time (when the time of the first variation timer becomes “0”), the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol. While controlling the display content of the first special figure display section 50A, it instructs the decorative drawing to stop changing and outputs an all symbols stop command. When the end condition of the probability change state or the variable state is satisfied, a probability change end command or a variable end command is output.

(About the second special figure start process)
Next, the second special figure start process will be described. The second special figure start process is the same as the first special figure start process. In the second special figure start process, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a displays the second special figure display unit 50B (second special figure display unit 50B). In the 2 display device 43), it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 is in a variable display (during a symbol variation effect), or a big hit game or a small hit game (step C11). If the determination result of step C11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the second special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step C11 is negative, the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information is read (step C12), and whether the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step C13). When the determination result of step C13 is negative (when the number of holdings of the second special figure start holding information = 0), the main control CPU 60a ends the second special figure starting process. The main control CPU 60a also stores a special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step C13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation display is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step C14), and stores the second special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. The main control CPU 60a acquires figure start hold information (values of random numbers for determination per special figure, values of random numbers for determination of special figures and random numbers for distribution of special figure fluctuation patterns) (step C15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a obtains the second special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, and then stores the second special figure start hold information stored second fastest in the second special figure storage area. 2. The special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The second special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special figure. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the second special figure start hold information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure hold display section 53 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the second special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step C15, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the stored big hit determination value (step C16). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination is positive when the non-probable change state (low probability) (that is, the big hit probability) is set to 1 / 19.56, and when the probability change state ( The probability (big hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative when the probability is high) is set to 1 / 7.53. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step C16 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the second big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step C17). . Then, the main control CPU 60a determines a final stop symbol (special diagram 2) that becomes a big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B based on the acquired value of the special symbol determination random number (step C18). ).

  Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets a game effect mode flag indicating a game effect mode (game state) after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol. Specifically, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1” when the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the probability variation flag is set to “0” when the jackpot symbol is not a probability variation state. To do. The probability variation flag is set to “0” when the probability variation flag end condition is satisfied. Also, if the big hit symbol is a big hit symbol that gives a variable state, the variable flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”, and if the big hit symbol that does not give a variable state, the variable flag is “0”. Set to. The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. Thus, the game effect mode is specified by the probability variation flag and the variation flag. When the big hit symbol (special figure 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT and ST2 to be described later according to the gaming state and based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number. One special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for jackpot (step C19).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination of step C16 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs a small hit determination (hit lottery) for determining whether or not to generate a small hit (see FIG. Step C21). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the value of the special figure determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step C15 matches the small hit determination value. As described above, when winning information (random number for determining per special figure) is acquired triggered by the detection of the second start winning detection sensor 39, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (that is, the small hit prize) (Probability) is set to 1 / 1.15. If the determination result of the small hit determination in step C21 is affirmative (if a small hit occurs), “1” is set to the second small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is a small hit. (Step C22). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 2) that becomes the small hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B on the basis of the acquired special figure determining random number (Step 2). C23).

  Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the small hit symbol of Special Figure 2, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired value of the special figure determination random number. By determining, the small hit symbol is determined. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are set to be maintained at the time of the small hit determination, and the values of the probability change flag and the variable flag are not changed in the case of the small hit. It is configured. Then, when the small hit symbol (special figure 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a refers to special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT and ST2 to be described later according to the gaming state, and displays the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution. Based on the value, one special figure fluctuation pattern is determined from the special figure fluctuation patterns for small hits (step C24).

  When the determination result of the small hit determination of step C21 is negative (that is, when the big hit and the small hit are not), the main control CPU 60a finally displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B. It determines as a stop symbol (special figure 2) (step C25). Next, the main control CPU 60a refers to the special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT and ST2 to be described later according to the gaming state, and based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number, A special figure variation pattern is determined from the above (step C26). In step C26, either the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing without executing the reach effect or the special figure fluctuation pattern for reaching for executing the reach effect is determined.

  The main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure variation pattern in the steps C19, C24, C26 outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 65 at a predetermined timing (step C20). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a sets the variation time defined in the determined special figure fluctuation pattern in the second fluctuation timer for special figure 2 provided in the main control RAM 60c, and designates the special figure fluctuation pattern. At the same time, a special pattern variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation is output, subtraction by the second variation timer is started, and measurement of the variation time specified by the special diagram variation pattern is started. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the second special figure display unit 50B so as to start the second special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 2 designation command for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the second special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the second special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the final stop symbol determined based on the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. The display content of the special figure display unit 50B is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . Specifically, when the second variation timer times the variation time (when the time of the second variation timer becomes “0”), the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol. While controlling the display content of the 2nd special figure display part 50B, it instruct | indicates the change stop of a decoration drawing and outputs all the symbol stop commands. When the end condition of the probability change state or the variable state is satisfied, a probability change end command or a variable end command is output.

(About variable stop processing when hitting)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when one of the two special figure fluctuation displays (symbol fluctuation effects) that are changing simultaneously is stopped and displayed as a hit display, the main control CPU 60a changes the other special figure fluctuation that is changing. It is configured to perform a hit-variation stop process in which the result of display (design variation effect) is terminated with a display error. In the hit fluctuation stop processing of the embodiment, the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) executed with the winning at the first start winning opening 29a, 30a as a trigger is a small hit display (specific display result). If it is stopped and displayed, the second special figure change display during the change that won the win (big hit or small win) in the hit judgment triggered by winning the second start winning opening 31a (2nd symbol change effect) The result of the hit determination corresponding to is forcibly set off, and the result of the second special figure change display (second symbol change effect) is ended (forcibly stopped) with the off display. Specifically, when the second special figure fluctuation display is a special figure fluctuation display that gives a probability variation big hit game (type 2 big hit game), a non-probability big hit game (first type big hit game) or a small hit game, The main control CPU 60a cancels that the big hit game or the small hit game is given by forcibly losing the hit result in the hit determination based on the fixed stop of the first special figure fluctuation display, 2 It is set so that the special figure variation display is forcibly discontinued and terminated. In addition, as described above, the probability of winning a winning in the small hit determination based on the winning at the starting winning ports 29a, 30a, 31a is the second starting winning prize than when winning at the first starting winning ports 29a, 30a. In the embodiment, the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) with a high small hit probability is displayed, and the first special figure fluctuation display with a low small hit probability (in the embodiment, the winning is set higher. It is configured so that it can be forcibly stopped by a fixed stop at the small hit display of the first symbol variation effect). Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a in the probability changing state has the main control based on the probability (hit probability) of winning the big hit in the big hit determination triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball to the second start winning prize port 31a. The probability that the CPU 60a wins the small hit in the small hit determination in response to the winning of the pachinko ball in the second start winning opening 31a (small hit probability) is set high. That is, in the probability variation state, in the hit determination triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31a, there is a high probability of winning a small hit than the big hit, and in the probability varying state, many pachinko coins to the second start winning opening 31a. By winning the ball, a small hit game is easily given.

  In the hit fluctuation stop process shown in FIG. 9, when the first special figure change display is stopped with the small hit display (step D11), the result of the hit determination triggered by the winning at the second start winning opening 31a is affirmative. That is, it is determined whether or not the second special figure fluctuation display of hit (big hit or small hit) is changing (step D12). And when the determination result of step D12 is negative, the main control CPU 60a ends the hit fluctuation stop processing. On the other hand, if the determination result of step D12 is affirmative, the result of the hit determination based on the winning information in the changing second special figure fluctuation display is forcibly set off and the corresponding second special figure display unit 50B. The second special figure display unit 50B is controlled so as to stop the special figure by the slipping display (step D13). Specifically, when the determination result in step D12 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the second special characteristic is determined regardless of the value of the random number for special figure determination obtained by the detection of the second start winning detection sensor 39. The outlier symbol that is confirmed to be stopped and displayed on the figure display unit 50B is determined as the final stop symbol (special symbol), and the subtraction of the corresponding second variation timer is stopped to set the time of the second variation timer to “0”. . The main control CPU 60a is set to stop the fluctuation of the special figure 2 before the small hit game based on the special figure displayed on the small hit is started when the determination result of step D12 is affirmative. Yes.

  In other words, when the second special figure fluctuation display is a special figure fluctuation display that gives a non-probable variable big hit game (the first kind big hit game), the second special figure fluctuation display is confirmed as the first special figure fluctuation display. It is configured so that it can be forcibly stopped by a stop. As a result, it is possible to suppress the fall from the probability variation state to the non-probability variation state. In addition, by ending the second special figure variation display in the middle of the variation, it is possible to increase the chance of winning the small hit game by increasing the chance of winning determination based on winning in the second start winning opening 31a. ing. Further, when the second special figure variation display is forcibly stopped by the deviation display, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure designation command for designating the special figure of the deviation to the effect control CPU 65a and the second display device. In 43, an all symbols stop command for displaying the combination of symbols of the decorative pattern that is out of place is displayed. Therefore, both of the special figure fluctuation displays in the two special figure display units 50A and 50B are stopped by the hit display, or the special figure fluctuation display is stopped by the hit display in the second special figure display unit 50B during the winning game. Can be prevented.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the second special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect) executed in response to the winning at the second start winning opening 31a is a win display (big hit display or small hit display). In the case of a stop display, the first special figure fluctuation display (the first symbol variation effect) in the fluctuation that was won in the winning judgment (big hit or small hit) in the winning judgment triggered by winning in the first start winning opening 29a, 30a ) Forcibly making the hit determination result corresponding to) and forcing the result of the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) to end (forcibly stop) with the deviation display. It is designed to prevent simultaneous hits.

(About production control)
Next, processing executed on the effect control board 65 will be described. The effect control CPU 65a of the effect control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. Here, the effect patterns that can be selected by the effect control CPU 65a are classified for each game effect mode, and an effect pattern corresponding to the special figure variation pattern is selected from the effect patterns that can be selected in the game effect mode. In addition, when the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the effect control CPU 65a responds to the stop symbol designation of the special figure corresponding to the command by the first display device 17 or the second display device. The decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c to be finally stopped and displayed on 43 is determined. In other words, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the effect control CPU 65a displays each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, and 44c are determined, and when the symbol specified by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a small hit symbol, The decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c is determined so that it may become.

  In addition, based on the special figure 1 designation command and the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a, a game production mode (gaming state) serving as a reference for determining the production pattern when the next symbol variation production is executed. The effect control CPU 65a sets a game effect mode flag indicating "." Specifically, when the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the probability variation state is given, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1”. ”And the probability variation flag is set to“ 0 ”when the jackpot symbol that does not give the probability variation state is supported. Further, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the variable state is given, a variable flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”. ”And the variable flag is set to“ 0 ”when it corresponds to a big hit symbol that does not give a variable state.

  Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c specified by the effect pattern, the decorative design designation command of each row is displayed on the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound. Output to the control board 73 and the like. Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a starts measuring time by a timer means (not shown) at the same time when the special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and the decoration timing of the left symbol rows 26a, 44a is stopped. The left decoration drawing designation command is output at the right, the right decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the right symbol row 26c, 44c, and the middle decoration drawing at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the middle symbol row 26b, 44b. Outputs the specified command.

  In addition, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. The effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing a detachment including a reach formation symbol when a special figure variation pattern for a reaper losing effect is instructed. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a detachment that does not include a reach formation symbol when a special-figure variation pattern for the detachment effect is instructed. Further, when the effect control CPU 65a receives all symbol stop commands, the effect control CPU 65a outputs the commands to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73 and the like.

  The effect control CPU 65a includes the types of jackpot symbols instructed by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command output by the main control CPU 60a, each designation command relating to the start and end of the probability variation state and the variation state, Based on the set value of the game effect mode flag, the type of the game effect mode is determined, and the game effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined game effect mode. The game effect mode flag includes information that can identify the game effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the effect control RAM 65c. When the game effect mode flag is updated, the effect control CPU 65a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the game effect mode to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

(About display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern. The first and second display devices 17 and 43 are controlled so as to execute the symbol variation effect. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the symbol variation effect, and the first and second display devices 17, so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. The image displayed on 43 is switched every predetermined period. Then, when the symbol stop command of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c is input, the display control CPU 70a receives the effective stop position of the corresponding symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c. 27, 45 temporarily stops the decorative design designated by the decorative design designation command, and when all the design stop commands are input, the effective stop positions 27, 45 of the respective symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c, 44a, 44b, 44c The display contents of the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are controlled so that the decoration diagram instructed by the decoration diagram designation command is displayed on the first and second display devices 17 and 43 in a fixed and stopped manner. Terminate. Further, when a mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a displays a background image corresponding to the designated game effect mode.

  Here, the contents of the symbol variation effect executed by the first and second display devices 17 and 43 are a special symbol variation pattern designation command output from the main control CPU 60a or an effect pattern designation command output from the effect control CPU 65a. The main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a have a function as symbol variation effect determining means for determining the effect content for specifying the content of the symbol variation effect.

  The second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2 includes a fluctuation time as a special figure fluctuation pattern for an uncertain variable big hit that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a when it is determined that the non-probable big hit is determined in the second special figure start process. 27th special figure fluctuation pattern P27 in which the fluctuation time is set to 10 seconds, 28th special figure fluctuation pattern P28 in which the fluctuation time is set to 60 seconds, 29th special figure fluctuation pattern P29 in which the fluctuation time is set to 300 seconds, fluctuation A 30th special figure fluctuation pattern P30 is set, in which the time is set to 1500 seconds.

Further, the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2 has a fluctuation time of 10 seconds as a special figure fluctuation pattern for small hits that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a when it is determined that a small hit is made in the second special figure start processing. The 31st special figure fluctuation pattern P31 set to is set. Then, in the second special figure variation pattern table ST2, the special figure variation pattern distribution random number obtained when the main control CPU 60a determines that it is a small hit in the probability variation mode with the winning of the second start winning opening 31a as a trigger, All the special figure fluctuation pattern allocation judgment values to be compared are assigned to the 31st special figure fluctuation pattern P31, and the main control CPU 60a performs a hit judgment triggered by winning at the second start winning port 31a in the probability variation mode. Is determined to be a small hit, the 31st special figure variation pattern P31 is determined.

  The types and number of special figure variation patterns defined in the special figure variation pattern tables NT, ST1 and ST2 shown in FIGS. Needless to say, it can be appropriately increased or decreased according to variations of the effects provided in the machine 10.

  Here, in the special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT, ST1, and ST2, the special figure fluctuation patterns to which the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are assigned do not have to be different, and the special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT, ST1, and ST2 The same special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value may be assigned to the same special figure fluctuation pattern. That is, the types of special figure fluctuation patterns included in the special figure fluctuation pattern tables NT, ST1, and ST2 do not have to be all different, and may be partially common. Note that the difference in the special figure fluctuation pattern means that one or both of the contents and the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display (symbol fluctuation effect) specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern are different.

  In the embodiment, for the special figure fluctuation patterns set in the special figure fluctuation pattern tables NS, ST1, ST2, those having a short fluctuation time of 30 seconds or less are referred to as short special figure fluctuation patterns, and are longer than 30 seconds. There are cases in which a thing is distinguished from a long special figure variation pattern.

  In the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2, one kind of short special figure fluctuation pattern and three kinds of long special figure fluctuation patterns are set as special figure fluctuation patterns for uncertain change big hits. In the embodiment, the selection ratio of the short special figure fluctuation pattern and the long special figure fluctuation pattern in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2 is the same. Further, the variation time (40 seconds) specified by the 18th special figure fluctuation pattern P18 for small hits set in the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1 is used for the uncertain variable big hit in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2. Longer than the fluctuation time (10 seconds) specified by the short special figure fluctuation pattern (the 27th special figure fluctuation pattern P27) set as the special figure fluctuation pattern of the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2, Is set shorter than the fluctuation time (60 seconds, 300 seconds, 1500 seconds) specified by the long special figure fluctuation pattern (28th to 30th special figure fluctuation patterns P27 to P30) set as the special figure fluctuation pattern of Yes. That is, in the state where the first special figure fluctuation display and the second special figure fluctuation display are fluctuating simultaneously, the second special figure fluctuation display may be a special figure fluctuation display based on the long special figure fluctuation pattern for the uncertain variable big hit. For example, before the second special figure fluctuation display is confirmed and stopped, there is a high possibility that the first special figure fluctuation display based on the small hit special figure fluctuation pattern is fixed and stopped. As a result, in the probability variation state, the hit judgment result corresponding to the second special figure variation display based on the special variation pattern for the non-probability variation big hit is forcibly disregarded, and the probability variation state is won by winning the non-probability variation big hit. Can be suppressed. In other words, in the probability variation state, it is possible to cancel the winning of the non-probability variation big hit based on the winning to the second start winning opening 31a and maintain the probability variation state for a long time, and the small hit probability is set higher than the first special figure fluctuation display. In addition, by increasing the number of times of variation of the second special figure variation display, the winning chance of the small hit game can be increased and the number of balls can be increased. Note that the 31st special figure fluctuation pattern P31 for small hits set in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2 is classified as a short special figure fluctuation pattern, and is based on winning based on winning in the second start winning opening 31a. When a small win is won in the determination, a large amount of small hit games can be awarded in a short time with a short variation time.

  Here, the variation time (30 seconds) that serves as a boundary for distinguishing between the short special figure fluctuation pattern and the long special figure fluctuation pattern is an example, and can be set as appropriate. The fluctuation time set in the special figure fluctuation pattern defined in the first and second special figure fluctuation pattern tables ST1 and ST2 is determined in the special figure fluctuation pattern for the uncertain variable big hit in the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2. The variation time is limited to that described in FIG. 12B under the condition that there is a variation time longer than the variation time of the special figure variation pattern for small hits set in the first special figure variation pattern table ST1. It can be set appropriately.

(About average change time)
When the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for small hits based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1, the expected value of the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display per symbol (design fluctuation effect) is shown. The specific average fluctuation time is referred to as “VA1” in the following description. In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit (for probable big hit and non-probable big hit) based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2, a special figure fluctuation display per fluctuation ( The expected value of the variation time of the symbol variation effect) is referred to as a jackpot average variation time, and the jackpot average variation time may be expressed as “VA2” in the following description. The big hit average fluctuation time VA2 is set to be longer than the specific average fluctuation time VA1. That is, in the probability variation state, the first special figure change display (first symbol fluctuation effect) based on the winning at the first start winning opening 29a, 30a and the second special figure based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31a. If the variation display (the second symbol variation effect) starts to vary substantially at the same time, the first special symbol variation display (the first symbol variation effect) is the eighteenth special symbol variation pattern P18 corresponding to the small hit. The first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) is a small hit display (display of a specific display result) before the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) corresponding to the big hit is confirmed and stopped. The possibility that the second special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect) can be forcibly stopped by the off display after being confirmed and stopped is increased. Note that the variation times and selection ratios set in the special diagram variation patterns defined in the first and second special diagram variation pattern tables ST1 and ST2 shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B are examples, and VA1 < It can be appropriately set under conditions satisfying the relationship of VA2.

  The variation time of the first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) per variation when the main control CPU 60a determines the special variation pattern for probability variation big hit based on the first special diagram variation pattern table ST1. Is expected to be referred to as a first probability variation average variation time, and the first probability variation average variation time may be expressed as “VA3” in the following description. Further, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for the uncertain variable big hit based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1, the first special figure fluctuation display per fluctuation (first symbol fluctuation effect). The expected fluctuation time value is referred to as a first non-probable variation average variation time, and the first non-probability variation average variation time may be expressed as “VA4” in the following description. The first probability variation average variation time VA3 is set shorter than the first non-probability variation average variation time VA4. That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1, the average fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation pattern corresponding to the uncertain variable big hit game which is not advantageous to the player Is longer than the average fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation pattern corresponding to the probability variation big hit game advantageous to the player.

  The variation time of the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) per variation when the main control CPU 60a determines the special variation pattern for probability variation big hit based on the second special diagram variation pattern table ST2. The expected value is referred to as a second probability variation average variation time, and the second probability variation average variation time may be expressed as “VA5” in the following description. Further, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for the uncertain variable big hit based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2, the second special figure fluctuation display per one fluctuation (second symbol fluctuation effect). The expected value of the variation time is referred to as a second non-probable variation average variation time, and the second non-probability variation average variation time may be expressed as “VA6” in the following description. The second probability variation average variation time VA5 is set shorter than the second non-probability variation average variation time VA6. In other words, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2, the second fluctuation average fluctuation time VA5 for the special figure fluctuation pattern for probability variation big hit is not Since the special fluctuation pattern for the probability variation big hit is shorter than the second variation fluctuation average VA6 for the non-probable variation, the second special figure variation display based on the special variation pattern for the non-probable variation big hit is being executed. The probability that the first special figure fluctuation display based on the pattern is confirmed and stopped, and the determination result of the hit determination corresponding to the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for the non-probable big hit is canceled (deviated) Thus, while the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for the probability variation big hit is being executed, the first special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for the small hit is fixed and stopped. Probability judging result of the hit determination corresponding to the second Patent view variable display based on Japanese Figure fluctuation patterns to be canceled (are off) of use is low. In other words, it is more difficult to cancel a probabilistic big hit game advantageous to the player than a non-probable big hit game that is not advantageous to the player, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game.

  The specific average variation time VA1 is set longer than the second probability variation average variation time VA5 and shorter than the second probability variation average variation time VA6 (VA5 <VA1 <VA6). Therefore, if the first special figure fluctuation display corresponding to the small hit is started while the second special figure fluctuation display is changing, the second special figure fluctuation display may be the special figure fluctuation display corresponding to the probability variation big hit. For example, the probability that the second special figure fluctuation display corresponding to the probability variation big hit will be confirmed and stopped before the first special figure fluctuation display stops being fixed increases, while the second special figure fluctuation display corresponds to the non-probable big hit. In the case of the special figure fluctuation display, the probability that the first special figure fluctuation display is fixed and stopped before the second special figure fluctuation display corresponding to the non-probable big hit is fixed and stopped increases. As a result, a non-probable big hit game that is not advantageous to the player is easily casted by the fixed stop of the first special figure fluctuation display, and a probable big hit game that is advantageous to the player is difficult to be cast by the fixed stop of the first special figure fluctuation display. ing. Note that the variation times and selection ratios set in the special diagram variation patterns defined in the first and second special diagram variation pattern tables ST1 and ST2 shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B are examples, and VA5 < It can be set as appropriate under conditions satisfying the relationship of VA1 <VA6.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

  When a player rotates the operation lever 16a of the operation handle 16 provided on the front side of the front frame 13, a pachinko ball launched from the hitting ball launching device is launched into the game area 75. At this time, the launch position of the pachinko ball changes according to the amount of rotation of the operation lever 16a, and the pachinko ball flows down the first ball flow-down area 75a or the second ball flow-down area 75b of the game area 75 according to the launch position. .

  In the normal mode, a left-hand strike is performed in which a pachinko ball is driven toward the first ball flow-down region 75a.

It is determined from the special figure variation pattern table NT. Then, the main control CPU 60a sets a variation time set in the determined special symbol variation pattern to the first variation timer, and outputs a special symbol variation pattern designation command instructing the start of symbol variation, Start timing with the first variation timer. The main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display unit 50A so as to start the first special figure variation display on the first special figure display unit 50A based on the determination result of the hit determination. The general control CPU 65a outputs a corresponding effect pattern command to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a) when a special figure variation pattern designation command is input, whereby the symbol on the first display device 17 is output. Variation production is started. When the time of the variation time set by the first variation timer is counted, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special symbol designation command and an all symbols stop command, and is thereby predetermined in the first special symbol display unit 50A. The special figure is stopped and displayed, and the first display device 17 is stopped and displayed in a combination that can recognize the probability variation big hit, the non-probable big hit, or the small hit. When the big hit display or the small hit display is displayed on the first display device 17, the big hit game or the small hit game is started.

  In the jackpot determination in response to the winning of a pachinko ball in the first starting winning opening 29a, when a winning jackpot game is won and the odd jackpot game is started, in the first round (specific round) in the odd jackpot game, The second opening / closing member 35b of the second special winning portion 35 is opened, and the guide body is displaced from the first posture to the second posture. Accordingly, when the pachinko ball that has flowed down the second ball falling region 75b wins the second special winning portion 35 by performing a right-hand hitting the pachinko ball into the second ball flowing region 75b, it passes through the specific region. A probability variation state (probability variation mode) in which the big hit probability is improved is given after the big hit game. In this probability variation state, the winning rate to the second start winning portion 31 arranged in the second ball flow down region 75b is improved, so that it is easy to hit big by continuing the right handing.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the right first start winning portion 30 and the second start winning portion 31 are arranged in the second ball lowering area 75b, so that the player can “right-hand” Thus, the pachinko ball flowing down the second ball flow down region 75b can win the right first start winning portion 30 and the second start winning portion 31. In other words, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment can cause the right first start winning portion 30 and the second start winning portion 31 to win a pachinko ball without hitting pachinko balls. That is, in the probability variation state (probability variation mode), the first special figure variation display (first symbol variation effect) triggered by the winning in the right first starting winning portion 30 and the winning in the second starting winning portion 31. Because it is configured to be able to perform the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) at the same time as a trigger, it will be differentiated from other models by the gameability that allows simultaneous fluctuation in the probability variation state be able to. Therefore, compared to a pachinko machine that performs only one special figure change display (symbol change effect) triggered by winning at the first start winning section 29, 30 or winning at the second start winning section 31, winning determination (hit determination) And the number of executions of the small hit determination) can be increased to improve the expected value as a win, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment includes a first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) based on the winning information acquired by winning the first starting winning portions 29 and 30, and a second starting winning portion. When the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation production) based on the winning information acquired at the time of winning the prize to 31 is performed at the same time, when the first special figure fluctuation display stops at the small hit display, If the second special figure fluctuation display that is changing is the second special figure fluctuation display based on the hit (big hit or small hit) before the small hit game based on the small hit is started, the second special figure The fluctuation display is forcibly discontinued and stopped. That is, it is possible to prevent a plurality of hits from occurring simultaneously in a configuration in which a plurality of special figure variation displays (design variation effects) can be performed simultaneously.

  The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is set to be right-handed because the probability of winning a small hit is higher than the probability of winning a big win in the hit determination based on the winning to the second start winning opening 31a in the probability variation state. Thus, by causing a lot of pachinko balls to win the second start winning opening 31a, the occurrence frequency of the small hit game can be increased, and the number of possessed balls can be increased by the small hit game. Further, in the hit determination based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31a, the probability of winning the non-probable big hit that is not advantageous to the player is low, so that the positive change state is not given by winning the non-probable big win. Can be suppressed.

  In the winning determination based on winning at the right first start winning opening 30a in the probability variation state, the probability of winning the probability variation big hit and the small hit is set higher than the probability of winning the non-probability big hit. Accordingly, in the situation where the “right-handed” is performed, if the pachinko ball that has entered the distribution unit 90 wins the right first starting winning opening 30a at a predetermined rate, the probability is less than the probability of winning the non-probable big hit. The probability of winning a winning game is high. That is, in a situation where the first special figure variation display based on the winning at the right first starting winning opening 30a and the second special figure variation display based on the winning at the second starting winning opening 31a are simultaneously varied, During the fluctuation of the figure fluctuation display, the first special figure fluctuation display is more likely to be confirmed and stopped with the small hit display than the possibility of being fixed and stopped with the non-probable change big hit display. When the first special figure fluctuation display is confirmed and stopped with the small hit display, the second special figure fluctuation display being fluctuated is the second special figure fluctuation display based on the hit (big hit or small hit). The second special figure fluctuation display is forcibly stopped by the off display, and the result of the hit determination based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31a is cancelled. Therefore, if the second special figure fluctuation display during the fluctuation is a special figure fluctuation display corresponding to the non-probable variable big hit, it is not determined that the non-probable big hit game is given, so the probable state is not given. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a pachinko ball driven into the right first start winning portion 30 and the second ball falling region 75b in the second ball falling region 75b where the second start winning portion 31 is disposed. Since the distribution unit 90 is provided that distributes the right first start winning unit 30 and the second start winning unit 31 at a predetermined ratio, the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation based on the winning to the second start winning unit 31) It is possible to generate an opportunity that can be forcibly stopped by displaying the effect) at a predetermined rate. In other words, the chance of canceling the result of winning the non-probable big hit that is not advantageous to the player in the hit determination based on the winning to the second start winning section 31 can be generated at a predetermined rate, so that the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  When the pachinko ball wins the right first start winning portion 30 in the probability changing state, the main control CPU 60a is used for detachment, probability variation big hit, non-probability based on the determination result of the hit determination triggered by the winning. A special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit or small hit is determined from the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1 (FIG. 12A). Further, when a pachinko ball is won in the second start winning portion 31 in the probability variation state, the main control CPU 60a is used for detachment, probability variation big hit, non-probability based on the determination result of the hit determination triggered by the winning. A special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit or small hit is determined from the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2 (FIG. 12B).

  Here, the big hit average fluctuation time of the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2. VA2 is a specific average fluctuation of the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for small hits based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1. It is set to be longer than the time VA1. Accordingly, if the first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) based on the winning to the first start winning opening 29a, 30a is based on the eighteenth special symbol variation pattern P18 corresponding to the small hit, the second If the special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect) is based on the special symbol variation pattern corresponding to the big hit, the first special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) is first stopped before the final stop. There is a high possibility that the special figure change display (first pattern change effect) will be fixed and stopped at the small hit display. In other words, the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) of the jackpot triggered by winning the second start winning portion 31 is stopped before the variation time elapses, and the second start winning portion 31 is displayed. It is possible to increase the number of hit determinations based on winning, and to increase the chances of winning a small hit game.

  For the second uncertain change of the second special figure fluctuation display (second graphic fluctuation effect) when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for the uncertain variable big hit based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2. The average fluctuation time VA6 is based on the specific average fluctuation time VA1 when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for small hits (the eighteenth special figure fluctuation pattern P18) based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1. It is set long. In other words, while the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for the non-probable big hit is changing, the second special figure fluctuation pattern based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for the small hit triggered by the winning to the right first start winning opening 30a. When one special figure fluctuation display is started, before the second special figure fluctuation display corresponding to the non-probable variation big hit is confirmed and stopped from the relationship between the second non-probable variation average variation time VA6 and the specific average variation time VA1. In addition, the probability that the first special figure variation display is confirmed and stopped increases. Therefore, the result of the hit determination corresponding to the second special figure fluctuation display (winning for the non-probable variable big hit) is forcibly disengaged, and it is avoided to win the non-probable big hit that is not advantageous for the player who is not given the probable change state. The probability variation state can be continued. In this way, in the probability variation state, it is possible to cancel the winning of the non-probability variation big hit based on the winning to the second start winning opening 31a and maintain the probability variation state for a long time. By increasing the number of fluctuations of the second special figure fluctuation display set high, it is possible to increase the number of wins for the small hit game and increase the number of balls.

  Further, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern for probability variation big hit based on the second special figure fluctuation pattern table ST2, the second special figure variation display (second symbol variation effect) is used for the second certain variation. The average fluctuation time VA5 is based on the specific average fluctuation time VA1 when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for small hits (the 18th special figure fluctuation pattern P18) based on the first special figure fluctuation pattern table ST1. It is set short. That is, while the second special figure fluctuation display based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for the probability variation big hit is changing, the first based on the special figure fluctuation pattern for the small hit triggered by the winning to the right first start winning opening 30a. When the special figure variation display is started, the second corresponding to the probable variation big hit before the first special figure variation display is fixed and stopped from the relationship between the second variation average variation time VA5 and the specific average variation time VA1. The probability that the special figure fluctuation display is fixed and stopped increases. That is, in the configuration in which the first special figure fluctuation display and the second special figure fluctuation display can be changed at the same time in the probability variation state, the winning of the probability variation big hit which is advantageous for the player based on the winning to the second start winning opening 31a is canceled. There is a high possibility that a probable state will be given without being played, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the variation time of the special figure variation pattern for small hits that is determined in response to winning in the second start winning opening 31a having a high small hit probability in the probability variation state is set to a short variation time. That is, it is possible to give more small hit games per unit time, and the interest of the game can be improved by expecting an increase in the number of balls due to the small hit games.

(About another example)
Next, another embodiment of the pachinko machine will be described. In the embodiment, when the first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) is displayed as a small hit, the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) during the variation is forcibly stopped at the off display. On the other hand, in another embodiment, when the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect) is displayed as a small hit, the second special figure fluctuation display (the second symbol is changed) After the end of the small hit game based on the small hit display of the first special figure fluctuation display (first symbol fluctuation effect), the second special figure fluctuation display (second graphic fluctuation effect) was interrupted. Is configured to resume.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of fluctuation interruption processing when hitting in a pachinko machine according to another embodiment. In the hit fluctuation change process shown in FIG. 13, when the first special figure fluctuation display stops at the small hit display (step E11), it is determined whether or not the second special figure fluctuation display is changing (step E11). E12). If the determination result of step E12 is negative, the main control CPU 60a ends the hit fluctuation suspension process. On the other hand, if the determination result at step E12 is affirmative, the subtraction of the second variation timer (measurement of variation time) corresponding to the second special figure variation display during variation is interrupted (step E13). Note that while the subtraction of the second fluctuation timer is interrupted in the fluctuation interruption process at the time of hitting, the main control CPU 60a continues the fluctuation in the corresponding second special figure display unit 50B, and the special figure designation command or The entire symbol stop command is not output, and the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) is apparently continued.

  In a state where the subtraction of the second variation timer is interrupted at step E13, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the small hit game has ended (step E14). If the determination result of step E14 is negative, the main control CPU 60a repeats the process of step E14. On the other hand, if the determination result of step E14 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a resumes the subtraction of the second variation timer that interrupted the subtraction in step E13 (step E15), and ends the hitting variation suspension processing.

  In the pachinko machine of another embodiment, the small hit symbol in the first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) of the small hit triggered by winning the first start winning portion 29, 30 is being displayed or the small hit During the small hit game based on the first special figure variation display (first design variation effect), the second special diagram variation display (second symbol variation effect) triggered by winning the second start winning section 31 is interrupted. Since the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect) is resumed after the small hit game based on the first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) for the small hit, 2 When the special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) is a probable big hit, the probable big hit can be prevented from being discarded, and the player can be prevented from being disadvantaged.

  In another embodiment, the second special figure fluctuation display (second symbol fluctuation effect) in which the subtraction of the second fluctuation timer is interrupted by the hit fluctuation fluctuation processing is apparent even when the subtraction of the second fluctuation timer is interrupted. Is continuing. As a result, there is start hold information of the second start winning part 31 during the change of the first special figure change display (first symbol change effect) triggered by winning the first start winning part 29, 30. Nevertheless, since the simultaneous variation is not executed, it can be prevented that the first special symbol variation display (the first symbol variation effect) during the variation is regarded as a small hit.

  In addition, the pachinko machine of another implementation interrupts the 1st special figure fluctuation display (1st design fluctuation production) which is changing when the 2nd special figure fluctuation display (2nd design fluctuation production) is hit, and is displayed, After the end of the winning game based on the winning display of the second special symbol variation display (second symbol variation effect), the first special symbol variation display (first symbol variation effect) that has been interrupted is resumed. It is designed to prevent simultaneous hits.
