Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine capable of enhancing a player's interest in an advantageous game state.SOLUTION: During an ART normal mode, continuation determination is performed more than once every prescribed timing. In order to set an ART special mode (a new ART mode), the continuation determination needs to be confirmed more than once (twice according to the embodiment). Therefore, even when the continuation determination is confirmed once during the ART normal mode, it is possible to make a player to pay attention to the continuation determination again until confirmed for the number of continuation determination times. On the other hand, when the continuation determination is denied for a prescribed number of times, it is forcibly terminated even during the ART normal mode. Thus, a sense of urgency is given, and the game interest is enhanced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Various information display units 17 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Further, the BET button 19, the MAXBET button 20, the settlement switch 21, the start lever 22, the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, and the hopper 26 are connected to the main control CPU 40a.

  A position signal is input to the main control CPU 40a from the connected reel sensors SE1 to SE3 in accordance with the symbol (rotational position of each rotating reel) displayed on the see-through window 16. Then, the main control CPU 40a specifies the rotation position and stop position of each reel from the position signal, and controls the rotation and stop of each reel based on the position signal.

  The medal detection signal indicating that a medal has been detected is input to the main control CPU 40a every time the medal sensor SE4 detects a medal from the connected medal sensor SE4. Further, when the connected BET button 19, MAXBET button 20, checkout switch 21, start lever 22, and stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are operated, the main control CPU 40a indicates that each button has been operated. Various operation signals are input.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating values of various random numbers such as winning combination determination random numbers used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The winning combination determination random number is a random number used when the main control CPU 40a determines a combination (winning combination based on the winning information group) according to the winning combination determination table. The winning information group determined by the main control CPU 40a is associated with one or more winning combinations that can be won in the variable game. In the winning information group, when a single winning combination is associated, it means a single winning of the winning combination, and when a plurality of winning combinations are associated, it means overlapping winning of these winning combinations. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning combination for winning by determining a winning information group.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program. In addition, the main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of winning combination determination tables in which internal winning probabilities for each gaming state and for each winning information group are defined as ranges for assigning winning combination determining random numbers.

  Further, in the main control ROM 40b, a stop table of symbol combinations for each combination is determined in advance. The stop table is a table in which symbols to be stopped and displayed are determined for each combination according to the operation timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated. The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the slot machine 10.

Is provided. The effect display device 14, the speaker Sp, and the decoration lamp La are connected to the sub control CPU 41a.

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub control ROM 41b displays a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker Sp, and a light emission effect indicating the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La. A pattern is stored. The sub-control RAM 41c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the slot machine 10. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub-status information (such as a status flag) related to the gaming state in the sub-control RAM 41c.

Here, the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2 stored in the main control ROM 40b shown in FIG. 4 will be described.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of the winning information group to be the lottery object and the winning probability of each winning information group to be the lottery object (random values distributed to each winning information group to be the lottery object (in the range of random values) A table in which the number based on the game state is tabulated is stored. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the gaming state. The winning combination determination table T1 is associated with the low probability RT game, and the winning combination determination table T2 is associated with the high probability RT game.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, the winning probabilities of the cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay roles based on the winning information group are defined. In the general game, the winning combination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the replay role is higher in the high probability RT game (1 / 1.9) than in the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). ing.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, in the high-reliability RT game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the high-probability lottery state, the consumption (injection) of medals held by the player is reduced as much as re-games are easily given. Can be given to the player. Such a high-definition RT game is an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the winning probability of the replay role is the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the low probability RT game (winning role determination table T1), and the rush replay role. And the winning probability of each of the winning information groups in which overlapping winnings of the normal replay combination are associated with each other. Note that the normal replay group (unquestioned) is set in the winning information group associated with the normal replay combination (unquestioned). In addition, a rush overlap replay group 1 and a rush overlap replay group 2 are set in the winning information group in which the overlapping winnings of the rush replay role and the normal replay role are associated with each other. In addition, the winning probability of the replay role defines the winning probability of the winning information group (normal replay group (unquestioned)) associated with the normal replay role (unquestioned) in the highly reliable RT game (winning role determination table T2). Yes. In addition, the winning probability of the bell role defines the sum of the winning probabilities of the winning information groups associated with the bell role. In the winning information group for the bell role, the bell group 1 to the bell group 6 are set.

  In the following description, “winning a normal replay role” means winning a winning information group (normal replay group (unquestioned)) associated with a normal replay role (unquestioned). Further, the “winning of the rush replay role” means winning of the rush duplication replay group 1 and the rush duplication replay group 2. In addition, the phrase “winning of the bell role” means winning of the bell group 1 to the bell group 6. The term “cherry winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with a single winning cherry. The term “watermelon winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with a single watermelon winning. In addition, the “rush entry award” means a stop display of a rush stop based on a rush replay role associated with each rush duplication replay group.

Hereinafter, processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives various operation signals, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control determined by the various operation signals. The main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display units 17 each time by inputting various operation signals and performing various controls.

  The main control CPU 40a sets a bet number when a medal is inserted from the medal slot 18, or when an operation signal of the BET button 19 or the MAX BET button 20 is input, and when a predetermined bet number is set, Creates a state where the game can be started.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started. In this lottery, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number from the main control RAM 40c, and among the winning combination determination tables stored in the main control ROM 40b, the winning combination determination table corresponding to the gaming state. Then, it is determined whether or not the acquired value belongs to the value range of each winning combination, and a winning information group to be won is determined. As described above, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination of the winning combination associated with the winning information group by determining the winning information group. The main control CPU 40a can set the game state by setting state information (state flag or the like) indicating the game state in the main control RAM 40c.

  When determining the winning information group, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of winning combination associated with the determined winning information group. When the main control CPU 40a determines that a small role is won, the main control RAM 40c becomes small by the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not the small role is won. Erase (clear) the role information of the role. For this reason, the small combination becomes a winning combination that cannot be carried over the next and subsequent variable games regardless of whether or not a winning decision is made.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the operation of the start lever 22 by the player is detected (after performing a predetermined process such as a role lottery), and displays the lottery result of the role lottery. The illustrated variable game start command is output to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This variable game start command instructs a combination of a plurality of combination information if the winning combination is duplicate. The main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22 by the player, and in a state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game, each reel is started so as to start the rotation operation of each reel. Control.

  Subsequently, when the CPU 40a for main control inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R based on the player's operation, it performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a specifies information on fluctuation or stop of each reel based on position signals from the reel sensors SE1 to SE3 corresponding to each reel. The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control on the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R. When the main control CPU 40a inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, it outputs various reel stop commands to the sub control CPU 41a.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when all the reels are stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line from the position signal input as each reel stops, and the combination information (winning) stored in the main control RAM 40c is determined. It is determined whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is stopped and displayed on the winning line. When the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is the winning mode corresponding to the winning information, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning (affirming) of the winning combination based on the winning information. If the winning mode does not correspond to, the winning combination non-winning (denial) based on the combination information, that is, the winning combination based on the combination information is determined to be missed.

  When the main control CPU 40a determines winning in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a is the same as the control for shifting the gaming state, the control for paying out the medal according to the winning mode determined as the winning, and the variable game for which the winning is determined. Control for setting the bet number is performed, and a winning instruction command indicating that the winning is determined is output to the sub-control board 41.

Here, the stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described in detail.
The main control CPU 40a stops each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player based on the determined winning information group. The combination of symbols is stopped and displayed. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel that is rotating, a combination of symbols based on the winning table selected and the stop table stored in the main control ROM 40b from the operation timing of each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R. Perform stop control to display By performing stop control in this way, each reel does not necessarily stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, but the timing of the stop operation by the player and the timing at which each reel stops. May not match (so-called “slip”).

  For this reason, the main control CPU 40a, when each of the reels has four or less portions of other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped, as a result of the slip control, It is possible to stop and display the type of symbols that you want to stop on the winning line. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, in each reel, if the other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped have five or more portions, any winnings can be achieved even with slip control. In some cases, it is not possible to stop and display the kind of symbols to be stopped on the line.

In the present embodiment, the control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is different when a predetermined winning combination is won.
In the present embodiment, for each winning information group in a predetermined winning combination, a winning push order for stopping and displaying a stop eye for winning the predetermined winning combination, and a stopping eye not allowing the predetermined winning combination to be won. The order of pushing for spilling to stop display is determined.

  The main control CPU 40a stops and displays a stop eye for winning the predetermined winning combination on the winning line by changing the winning order based on the winning of the predetermined winning combination. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays a stop eye that does not allow the predetermined winning combination to be won on the winning line by making a push order for missing based on the winning of the predetermined winning combination.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry stop eye regardless of the pressing order of the stop operation by the player if the timing of the stop operation by the player is appropriate when the cherry role is won. Further, if the timing of the stop operation by the player is appropriate, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the watermelon stop regardless of the order of the stop operation by the player when the watermelon role is won.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye when the stop order by the player is the pushing order for winning to stop the bell stop eye when winning the bell role. This bell stop eye can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops the bell spillage when the player presses the stop operation when the player plays the bell role, not the winning push order to stop the bell stop eye but the bell spill press order. The eyes (for example, [Bell / Bell / Replay] etc.) are stopped and displayed, and a missing bell role is generated. This bell-spilling stop eye can also be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  For example, in the bell group 1, a pressing order for bell winning of [left middle right] is determined, and a pressing order for bell spilling other than [left middle right] is determined. For this reason, in the bell group 1 to the bell group 6, the pressing order of “6 choices” based on all stop buttons to be stopped is determined.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the rush stop eye when the rush replay role is won and the stop operation push order by the player is the rush stop push order to stop the rush stop eye. The entry stop eye can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when the rush replay role is won, when the pushing order of the stop operation by the player is not the pushing order for the rush entry, but the normal winning push order for stopping the normal stop eye, Stop eye stop. The normal stop eye can also be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4B, in this embodiment, a specific entry for stopping and displaying the rush stop eye (shown as “rush” in FIG. 4B) for each rush overlap replay group. The order of pushing for the rush prize to be a stop operation is respectively determined. Further, in order to correspond to this, the order of pushing for normal winning, which is a normal stop operation for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye for each rush overlapping replay group, is determined.

  For example, in the rush overlap replay group 1, a push order for a rush entry of [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] is defined, and a normal push order other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] is defined. ing. In addition, the rush overlap replay group 2 has a push order for rush entry of [right left middle] and [right middle left], and a normal push order other than [right left middle] and [right middle left]. It has been established. In the rush duplication replay group 1 and the rush duplication replay group 2, regardless of the type of winning information group, a normal push order in which [left] is the first is determined, and [left] is the first. The order of entry for entry prizes is not defined. For this reason, in the rush overlap replay group 1 and the rush overlap replay group 2, the push order of “no left 2 choices” that does not exist for the rush prize, in which [left] is the first, is determined. In addition, when the rush duplication replay group is won, the replay is given to the player in the same way regardless of the combination of symbols that are stopped on the winning line. Will be.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the normal stop eye regardless of the stop operation by the player when the normal replay group (unquestioned) is won. Then, any winning combination of the small combination is not determined, that is, when the extraordinary combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stoppage stop regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the mode of transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the variable game according to the gaming state will be described.
The main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the controlled gaming state to the sub-control board 41 before the output of the change game start command at the start of the change game.

  As shown in FIG. 5, during the control of the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a starts from the next floating game when the rush replay role is won and the rush prize is generated in the push order for the rush prize. Transition (rush) into RT games. That is, in the low-probability RT game, when the rush replay combination is won and the rush stop eye that becomes the rush-in prize is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the high-probability RT game is satisfied. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a continues the low-probability RT game from the next variable game without satisfying the transition condition to the high-probability RT game if the rush-in prize is not entered during the control of the low-probability RT game.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a shifts from the next variable game to the low-probability RT game when the bell role is won and the bell spills during the control of the high-probability RT game. In other words, in the high probability RT game, when the bell spill stop eye that becomes a bell spill is won and displayed, the transition condition to the low probability RT game is satisfied. On the other hand, when the bell spillage is not generated during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a continues the high probability RT game from the next variation game without satisfying the transition condition to the low probability RT game.

Next, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs each command such as a variable game start command or a winning instruction command, the display contents of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker Sp so as to execute various effects based on the contents instructed by the commands. The output content and the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La are controlled. Further, since the sub-control CPU 41a can also specify the stop status of each reel, the winning combination can be identified from this stop status.

  Further, when the sub instruction CPU 41a inputs a state instruction command, the sub control RAM 41c stores (sets) a state flag indicating in which gaming state the gaming state is controlled. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control to cause various effects each time a variable game start command or various reel stop commands are input.

  In addition, the sub control CPU 41a sets the effect flag indicating the type of effect state in the sub control RAM 41c in accordance with the gaming state specified by the state instruction command, thereby producing the effect of the effect display device 14 being controlled. Identify (manage) state. The production states in the present embodiment are classified into a plurality of types, and specific production states include a normal mode, a preparation mode, an ART normal mode, an ART special mode, and a highly accurate RT production. ing. The ART normal mode and the ART special mode may be referred to as ART mode. The sub-control CPU 41a selects image display data (particularly background image data) corresponding to an effect state that can be specified from the effect flag, and the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. Controls the display content (display image).

  The normal mode is an effect state that is performed in a situation where the gaming state is a low-probability RT game and the right to shift to the ART mode described later has not occurred. In this normal mode, the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state, and a rush lip navigation effect that assists (assists) the rush prize by notifying a specific stop operation corresponding to the winning rush replay role, This is a state in which a bell navigation effect for assisting (assisting) a bell winning by notifying a specific stop operation corresponding to the played bell combination is not performed.

  The preparation mode is an effect state that is performed in a situation in which the gaming state is a low-probability RT game and a right to shift to the ART mode described later is generated. In the preparation mode, the effect display device 14 is configured to be roughly the same as the display image for the normal mode, and a character image such as “in preparation” is displayed on the display screen. This preparation mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a low-probability lottery state as in the normal mode, while the rush lip navigation effect and the bell navigation effect are performed.

  The ART mode is an effect state that is performed when the game state is a high-definition RT game. This ART mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high probability lottery state and a bell navigation effect is performed.

  The high-definition RT effect is an effect state that is performed when the gaming state is a high-definition RT game. This high-definition RT effect is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in the high-probability lottery state and the bell navigation effect is not performed.

Here, characteristic control related to each effect state will be described. First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (or missing) during the normal mode (while setting the effect flag indicating the normal mode). During the normal mode, the replay role is a replay role that can be selected as a normal replay role (unquestioned) and a duplicate role of a rush replay role and a normal replay role. A winning combination of a normal replay winning combination with a winning combination and the rush replay winning may occur.

  In the normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as not to execute the rush rep navigation effect or the bell navigation effect when the winning of the rush replay role or the bell role is instructed.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART entry lottery when the winning of the small role is instructed. This ART rush lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either winning or not winning so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, the total is about 1/300) based on the winning combination. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a generates a right to shift to the ART mode when winning in the ART entry lottery. On the other hand, if the sub-control CPU 41a does not win in the ART entry lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a does not generate the right to shift to the ART mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of released games (so-called “ceiling game number”) when the ART mode or the high-definition RT effect ends and shifts to the normal mode. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a generates a right to shift to the ART mode when the number of times of the variable game performed in the normal mode reaches the number of released games.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode to the ART flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. . The ART flag is set with a value indicating that the right to enter the ART mode has not been generated when the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred. Further, when a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode is set in the ART flag, it is possible to shift to the ART normal mode, and when the ART mode is subsequently switched, the ART mode is terminated and the ART flag is set to the ART mode. A value indicating that the right to transfer to is not generated is set.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode in the ART flag, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. To prepare mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the preparation mode.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the stop operation by the player does not satisfy the predetermined operation conditions unless the stop button 23L is operated first in each variable game in the normal mode. , Give a penalty that would be disadvantageous for the player. For example, as a penalty, control is performed so that the ART rush lottery is not performed, or the ART rush lottery is performed but is not always won. Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the stop button 23L cannot be stopped and displayed by the first stop operation of the stop button 23L, that is, the push order in which the stop button 23L is first stopped is set as the push order for the rush entry prize. Not. As a result, during normal mode, if the ART flag is set to a value indicating that the right to transition to ART mode has not occurred, transition to ART mode, that is, transition to high-definition RT game is not expected. Become.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the control similar to normal mode, and control different from normal mode is demonstrated.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the preparation mode (while setting the effect flag indicating the preparation mode).

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the bell navigation effect is performed when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the preparation mode. For this reason, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the bell winning, and the player wins a bell when the player performs a game according to the bell navigation effect.

  In other words, the effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side, and performs a bell navigation effect in such a manner that the numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are assigned to the images. For example, in the case of the bell group 1, among the three images, “1” is attached to the left image, “2” is attached to the middle image, and “3” is attached to the right image. Is informed so that the player can specify that the stop operation should be performed in the pressing order of [left middle right].

  Also, the sub-control CPU 41a, when a winning entry of a rush replay role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop buttons among the small roles is instructed, a rush lip navigation effect that assists the rush prize with the start of the variable game. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that For this reason, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the rush-in prize, and a rush-in prize is generated when the player plays the game according to the rush-up navigation effect.

  In other words, the effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side and performs the rush lip navigation effect in such a manner that a number “1” is attached to one of the three images. For example, in the case of the rush duplication replay group 1, if “1” is attached to the middle image among the three images, the player should be instructed to stop the stop button 23C first. To be identified.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the next variable game to the ART normal mode when entering the winning prize during the preparation mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the ART normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from the low probability RT game to the high probability RT game. In the preparation mode, unlike the normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform ART entry lottery and does not give a penalty.

Next, control related to the ART normal mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning a prize during the ART normal mode (during the setting of the effect flag indicating the ART normal mode). Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 to execute the bell navigation effect when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the ART normal mode. That is, during the ART normal mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. Note that in the ART normal mode, a bell winning is generated when the player follows the bell navigator effect when winning the bell role.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the normal mode if the bell combination is missed during the ART normal mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from a high-probability RT game to a low-probability RT game.

  Further, when starting the control in the ART normal mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value indicating the upper limit number of times (initial number) of the variable game as the set period of the ART normal mode to the normal remaining G assigned to the sub control RAM 41c. Store (set) the number. In the present embodiment, “40” is defined as the initial number of times (initial reference number). Then, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the normal remaining G number every time the variable game is performed during the ART normal mode. In this way, the sub control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game executed in the ART normal mode (ART mode). That is, the sub-control CPU 41a serves as a granting unit that grants an advantageous gaming state (ART mode) that is advantageous to the player during a predetermined setting period.

  Further, when the normal remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the condition for shifting to the ART special mode is satisfied. If it is determined that the condition for shifting to the ART special mode is not satisfied, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the highly accurate RT effect from the next variable game. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating a highly accurate RT effect. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time is a high-precision RT game. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not occurred in the ART flag in accordance with the shift from the ART mode to the high-accuracy RT effect.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the condition for shifting to the ART special mode is satisfied, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the ART special mode from the next and subsequent variable games. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the ART special mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time is a high-precision RT game. The conditions for shifting to the ART special mode will be described later.

  Further, even if the normal remaining G number is not “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the next variable game to the high-definition RT effect when the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode is satisfied. . At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating a highly accurate RT effect. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time is a high-precision RT game. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not occurred in the ART flag in accordance with the shift from the ART mode to the high-accuracy RT effect. The conditions for forced termination of the ART normal mode will be described later.

In the ART normal mode, unlike the normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the ART entry lottery and does not give a penalty.
Next, control related to the ART special mode will be described.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning of the winning combination during the ART special mode (during the setting of the effect flag indicating the ART special mode). Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 to execute the bell navigation effect when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the ART special mode. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the normal mode when the bell combination is missed during the ART special mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from a high-probability RT game to a low-probability RT game.

  Further, when starting the control of the ART special mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value indicating the upper limit number of times (initial number) of the variable game as the setting period of the ART special mode to the special remaining G assigned to the sub control RAM 41c. Memorize in numbers. The special remaining G number is determined at the time of transition. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the special remaining G number every time the variable game is performed during the ART special mode. In this way, the sub control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game executed in the ART special mode (ART mode).

  Further, when the special remaining G number becomes “0”, the sub control CPU 41a shifts to the ART normal mode from the next variable game. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the ART normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time is a high-precision RT game. As described above, the ART special mode is an effect state that can be shifted from the ART normal mode and can shift to the ART normal mode after the end.

Further, in the ART special mode, unlike the normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the ART entry lottery and does not give a penalty.
Next, control related to the high-definition RT effect will be described.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning a prize during the high-definition RT effect (while setting the effect flag indicating the high-definition RT effect). Then, the sub-control CPU 41a does not execute the bell navigation effect even when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the highly accurate RT effect. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a does not execute the rush lip navigation effect during the high-precision RT effect.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the normal mode when the bell combination is missed during the high-definition RT effect. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from a high-probability RT game to a low-probability RT game.

In the high-definition RT effect, unlike the normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the ART entry lottery and does not give a penalty.
As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the normal mode, the preparation mode, the ART normal mode, the ART special mode, and the highly accurate RT effect.

Next, conditions for shifting to the ART special mode and conditions for forcibly terminating the ART normal mode will be described.
In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to execute continuation determination for determining whether or not to continue the ART mode at every predetermined determination timing during the setting period of the ART normal mode. More specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the continuation determination every time 10 variable games are executed in the ART normal mode. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the continuation determination four times at maximum during the ART normal mode.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a performs continuation determination means for determining whether or not to continue the advantageous gaming state (ART mode) during the ART mode setting period (period in which the normal remaining G number is not “0”). It becomes. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to perform continuation determination at a plurality of determination timings (every time 10 variable games are executed) during a set period (period in which the normal remaining G number is not “0”). ing.

  The sub-control CPU 41a affirms the continuation determination for the predetermined number of continuation determinations out of the four continuation determinations at the end of the ART normal mode (when 40 fluctuating games are executed). In this case, it is assumed that the condition for shifting to the ART special mode is satisfied. The number of times of continuation determination is configured so that a number of times equal to or greater than 2 is set, and is set to 2 in the present embodiment.

  That is, when the continuation determination is affirmed twice or more at the end of the ART normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the ART special mode from the next variable game. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the ART special mode.

  As described above, when the continuation determination is affirmed for the predetermined number of continuation determinations, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a new ART mode after the set period ends (after the normal remaining G number becomes 0). A setting period (special remaining G number) is set, and an advantageous gaming state (ART mode) is continuously given.

  On the other hand, at the end of the ART normal mode (when 40 fluctuation games are executed), the sub-control CPU 41a has affirmed the continuation determination for the predetermined number of continuation determinations out of the four continuation determinations. If not, it is assumed that the condition for shifting to the ART special mode is not satisfied.

  That is, if the continuation determination is not affirmed twice or more at the end of the ART normal mode, the sub control CPU 41a shifts from the next variable game to the high-definition RT effect. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating a highly accurate RT effect.

  Even during the ART normal mode (that is, even when the normal remaining G number is not “0”), the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to determine whether or not the ART normal mode forced termination condition is satisfied. Yes. More specifically, when the continuation determination is executed three times and negative in all the continuation determinations (in the case of negative continuation three times), the sub control CPU 41a forcibly ends the ART normal mode. It is determined that the condition is met. In this case, although the normal remaining G number is “10”, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the highly accurate RT effect from the next variable game. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating a highly accurate RT effect. As a result, the ART normal mode is forcibly terminated.

  That is, if the continuation determination is denied a predetermined number of times, the sub control CPU 41a can end the provision of the advantageous gaming state (ART mode) even during the setting period (when the normal remaining G number is not 0).

  In the present embodiment, the probability (positive probability) that the continuation determination is affirmed at each determination timing is specified by the probability pattern every time the normal remaining G number is set (set period). .

As shown in FIG. 6, there are a plurality of types of probability patterns (five types in the present embodiment), and the affirmative probability at each of the four determination timings can be specified.
That is, when the first probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability of the first to fourth continuation determination is 90%. When the second probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability of the first continuation determination is 90%, the affirmative probability of the second continuation determination is 80%, and the affirmative probability of the third continuation determination is The positive probability of the fourth continuation determination is 60%. When the third probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability of the first continuation determination is 60%, the affirmative probability of the second continuation determination is 70%, and the affirmative probability of the third continuation determination is 80%, and the affirmative probability of the fourth continuation determination is 90%. When the fourth probability pattern is determined, the positive probability of the first to fourth continuation determination is 70%. When the fifth probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability of the first to fourth continuation determination is 30%.

  In the present embodiment, the probability patterns are prepared such that the setting order of the affirmative probability of continuation determination at each determination timing is changed (different ones) such as the second probability pattern and the third probability pattern. Yes. More specifically, when the positive probabilities of all (four times) continuation determinations that can be executed during the ART normal mode (during the set period) are multiplied, the probability is made constant, while the continuation determination at each determination timing is made constant. There are prepared changes in only the affirmative probability setting order.

  That is, when the second probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability (90%) of the first continuation determination is the positive probability of the fourth continuation determination when the third probability pattern is determined. . Similarly, when the second probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability (80%) of the second continuation determination is determined. When the third probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability of the third continuation determination is Become. Similarly, when the second probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability (70%) of the third continuation determination is determined. When the third probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability of the second continuation determination is Become. When the second probability pattern is determined, the affirmative probability (60%) of the fourth continuation determination is the positive probability of the first continuation determination when the third probability pattern is determined.

  Then, when the ART normal mode is started, the sub control CPU 41a determines a probability pattern from the first probability pattern to the fourth probability pattern and stores it in the sub control RAM 41c. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies the affirmative probability of the continuation determination based on the stored probability pattern at each determination timing, and executes the continuation determination based on the affirmation probability.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to rewrite the probability pattern when the continuation determination is affirmed once. Specifically, when the continuation determination is affirmed once, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to rewrite the fifth probability pattern regardless of which probability pattern is stored. Therefore, when the continuation determination is affirmed once, it is difficult to win the continuation determination thereafter.

  That is, when the continuation determination is affirmed, the sub control CPU 41a can change the affirmative probability in the continuation determination to be executed thereafter. In the present embodiment, when the continuation determination is affirmed, the affirmative probability in the continuation determination to be executed thereafter can be lowered.

  When the condition for shifting to the ART special mode is satisfied at the end of the ART normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the special remaining G number of the ART special mode to be newly set based on the number of times the continuation determination is affirmed. Is configured to determine.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the number of times that the continuation determination is affirmed is 2, the special remaining G number is determined with a probability of 70%, and 70 times is 20%. 100 times are determined with a probability of 10%. When the number of times that the continuation determination is affirmed is 3, the special remaining G number is determined with a probability of 70%, and 100 times with a probability of 30%. When the continuation determination is affirmed four times, the special remaining G number is determined with a probability of 70%, 100 times with a probability of 20%, and 200 times with a probability of 10%. Determined by probability.

  In other words, when the number of times that the continuation determination is affirmed is large, the ART special mode is configured to be longer than when the number is small. Accordingly, the sub-control CPU 41a of the present embodiment, when the continuation determination is affirmed by the number of times of continuation determination (2 times) and then further continuation determination is affirmative (when the affirmative determination is 3 or 4 times), It can be said that the newly set ART mode setting period (special remaining G number) is increased with high probability.

Next, based on FIG. 8, the mode and operation when shifting from the ART normal mode to another mode will be described in detail.
First, a case where the continuation determination is affirmed four times will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the first probability pattern is determined at the start of the ART normal mode.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the first continuation determination is executed in the tenth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the first continuation determination is determined as 90% based on the first probability pattern based on the premise. From the premise, the first continuation determination is affirmed. Thereafter, the probability pattern is rewritten from the first probability pattern to the fifth probability pattern. At this time, the continuation determination is not denied three times in the 30th variation game from the start of the ART normal mode, and the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode is not satisfied (not established). For this reason, the player can be confident that the ART normal mode is continued to the end, and can obtain a sense of security.

  Then, the second continuation determination is executed in the twentieth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the second continuation determination is determined to be 30% based on the fifth probability pattern. This continuation determination is also affirmed based on the premise. At this time, the transition condition for the ART special mode is established, and the interest of the player can be improved.

  Thereafter, similarly, in the 30th variation game, the third continuation determination is executed and affirmed based on the premise. Similarly, in the 40th variation game, the fourth continuation determination is executed and affirmed based on the premise. At this time, compared to the case where the continuation determination is affirmed twice or three times, the number of special remaining G numbers in the ART special mode is easily determined, so that the interest of the player can be improved. .

  Then, at the end of the ART normal mode, the special remaining G number of the ART special mode to be newly set is determined based on the determination probability when the continuation determination is affirmed four times. Then, the determined special remaining G number is set, and the state shifts to the ART special mode.

  Next, a case where the continuation determination is affirmed twice will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the first probability pattern is determined at the start of the ART normal mode. The description will be made assuming that the second and third continuation determinations are negative.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the first continuation determination is executed in the tenth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the first continuation determination is determined as 90% based on the first probability pattern based on the premise. From the premise, the first continuation determination is affirmed. Thereafter, the probability pattern is rewritten from the first probability pattern to the fifth probability pattern.

  Then, the second continuation determination is executed in the twentieth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the second continuation determination is determined to be 30% based on the fifth probability pattern. This continuation determination is denied based on the premise. At this time, since it is not determined to shift to the ART special mode (not established), attention can be paid to the third continuation determination.

  Similarly, in the 30th variation game, the third continuation determination is executed, and is denied based on the premise. At this time, the transition to the ART special mode is not determined, but since the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode is not satisfied, the fourth continuation determination can be paid more attention.

  Similarly, in the 40th variation game, the fourth continuation determination is executed and affirmed based on the premise. At this time, since it is determined to shift to the ART special mode, the interest of the player can be improved.

  Then, at the end of the ART normal mode, the special remaining G number of the ART special mode to be newly set is determined based on the determination probability when the continuation determination is affirmed twice. Then, the determined special remaining G number is set, and the state shifts to the ART special mode.

  Next, a case where the continuation determination is affirmed once will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the first probability pattern is determined at the start of the ART normal mode. Further, the description will be made assuming that the second to fourth continuation determination is negative.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, the first continuation determination is executed in the tenth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the first continuation determination is determined as 90% based on the first probability pattern based on the premise. From the premise, the first continuation determination is affirmed. Thereafter, the probability pattern is rewritten from the first probability pattern to the fifth probability pattern.

  Then, the second continuation determination is executed in the twentieth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the second continuation determination is determined to be 30% based on the fifth probability pattern. This continuation determination is denied based on the premise. At this time, since it is not determined to shift to the ART special mode (not established), attention can be paid to the third continuation determination.

  Similarly, in the 30th variation game, the third continuation determination is executed, and is denied based on the premise. At this time, although it is not determined to shift to the ART special mode (not established), the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode is not established (not established), and it is possible to pay more attention to the fourth continuation determination.

  In the same manner, in the 40th variation game, the fourth continuation determination is executed, and is denied based on the premise. Then, the ART normal mode ends, and a high-definition RT effect is executed.

Next, a case where the continuation determination is not affirmed will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the first probability pattern is determined at the start of the ART normal mode.
As shown in FIG. 8D, the first continuation determination is executed in the tenth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the first continuation determination is determined as 90% based on the first probability pattern based on the premise. Then, from the premise, the first continuation determination is denied. At this time, it is not determined to shift to the ART special mode and there is a possibility that the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode may be satisfied, so that the second continuation determination can be paid more attention.

  Then, the second continuation determination is executed in the twentieth variation game from the start of the ART normal mode. In this case, the affirmative probability of the second continuation determination is determined to be 90% based on the first probability pattern. This continuation determination is denied based on the premise. In this case as well, as with the first continuation determination, the transition to the ART special mode is not confirmed, and the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode may be satisfied. You can get more attention.

  Similarly, in the 30th variation game, the third continuation determination is executed, and is denied based on the premise. At this time, the ART special mode transition condition is not satisfied, and the ART normal mode forced end condition is satisfied (established), and the ART normal mode ends despite the normal remaining G number being 10. Thereby, it shifts to high-definition RT production.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) In order to set the ART special mode (new ART mode), the continuation determination needs to be affirmed a plurality of times (in this embodiment, twice). For this reason, even if the continuation determination is affirmed once during the set period of the ART normal mode (when the normal remaining G number is not 0), the player is caused to pay attention to the continuation determination again until it is affirmed by the number of continuation determinations. be able to. It can also be noted how many times the remaining determination is executed. In addition, since it is necessary to make an affirmative determination a plurality of times, the interest of the player can be improved each time as compared with the case where an affirmative determination is required once. As described above, the interest of the player in the ART mode (advantageous gaming state) can be further improved.

  (2) If the continuation determination is denied a predetermined number of times (three times in the present embodiment), even during the set period (when the normal remaining G number is not “0”), and the continuation determination execution opportunity (4 Even if the second continuation determination) remains, the ART normal mode forced termination condition is satisfied, and the ART mode is interrupted. For this reason, a tension can be given to the player. Moreover, since it is necessary to make an affirmative determination multiple times in order to set the ART special mode (a new setting period of the ART mode), it is possible to give a sense of tension at least twice, and it is necessary to make an affirmative determination multiple times. Tension can be enhanced more than those without.

  (3) Since the probability pattern includes the second probability pattern and the third probability pattern in which the setting order of the affirmative probability of the continuation determination is changed, it is difficult to predict what probability is positive. it can. Further, by changing the setting order of the affirmative probability of continuation determination at each determination timing, the probability that the continuation determination is denied a predetermined number of times during the ART normal mode can be changed. Thereby, the possibility of ending in the middle can be changed. On the other hand, since the probability of being continued is constant when viewed in the entire ART normal mode, an equal chance can be given to any player.

  (4) When the continuation determination is affirmed, the sub-control CPU 41a is configured to be able to change the affirmative probability in the continuation determination to be executed thereafter. For this reason, when the continuation determination is affirmed, there is a possibility that the affirmation probability may be changed, so that it can be made interesting about how it changes.

  (5) When the continuation determination is affirmed, the sub-control CPU 41a can set a fifth probability pattern and reduce the affirmation probability in the continuation determination to be executed thereafter. For this reason, when a continuation determination is affirmed, it may become difficult to affirm. Therefore, it is possible to increase the joy when affirmative determination is made a plurality of times. On the other hand, the expectation can be improved until a positive determination is first made. That is, it is possible to reduce the probability of negative determination three times in succession, making it difficult to satisfy the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode.

  (6) If the continuation determination is affirmed for the number of continuation determinations, and the continuation determination is further affirmed, the initial number of special remaining G numbers in the newly set ART special mode can be increased with a high probability. . Accordingly, whether or not the continuation determination is affirmed even when it is determined that the ART mode is continued, that is, when the transition condition to the ART special mode is satisfied (when the continuation determination is affirmed twice). You can continue to pay attention to this.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, when the bell role is missed during the ART mode, the game state is shifted to the low-accuracy RT game and the effect state is shifted to the normal mode. However, it is possible to remain in the ART mode. . In this case, the gaming state shifts to the low-probability RT game, but it is only necessary to execute the rush lip navigation effect and the bell navigation effect so as to be able to shift again to the high-probability RT game. Note that the normal remaining G number or the special remaining G number may be maintained at the value even during the low probability RT game, and 1 may be subtracted for each variable game.

In the above embodiment, when the special remaining G number is “0”, the transition from the next variable game to the ART normal mode is performed, but the transition to the high-definition RT effect may be performed.
In the above embodiment, the ART entry lottery was not performed during the high-definition RT production, but it may be performed. In this case, a penalty may be given.

  In the above embodiment, the probability pattern is changed when the continuation determination is affirmed once, but may be changed when it is affirmed twice or more. Moreover, you may change when continuation determination is denied predetermined times.

  In the above embodiment, when the continuation determination is affirmed once, the probability pattern is changed, but it is also possible to change only the affirmative probability of the continuation determination. For example, based on the probability pattern, the predetermined probability (for example, 30%) may be made lower than the set positive probability uniformly.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, when continuation determination is affirmed, although the probability pattern was changed into the 5th probability pattern, you may change into any probability pattern. Further, the type and number of probability patterns to be changed may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, the ART normal mode is terminated when the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode is satisfied (when the continuation determination is denied three times in succession), but the ART normal mode may not be terminated. . That is, there is no need to provide a forced termination condition for terminating the ART mode halfway.

In the above embodiment, the forced termination condition in the ART normal mode may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be established when the continuation determination is denied twice.
-In the said embodiment, although the setting order (the 2nd probability pattern and the 3rd probability pattern) by which the setting order of the affirmation probability of the said continuation determination was changed in each determination timing was prepared, it prepares You don't have to.

In the above embodiment, a plurality of probability patterns are prepared, but one type may be used. Further, the type and number of probability patterns may be changed.
-In the said embodiment, when continuation determination is affirmed, although the probability pattern was changed, it is not necessary to change.

In the above embodiment, when the continuation determination is affirmed, the probability pattern is always changed, but the probability pattern may be changed with a predetermined probability.
-In the said embodiment, when continuation determination is affirmed, the affirmation probability of continuation determination was made low, but you may make it high.

-In above-mentioned embodiment, when continuation determination is affirmed, the affirmation probability of continuation determination was changed, but it is not necessary to change.
In the above embodiment, the initial number of special remaining G numbers is configured to be changeable based on the affirmative number of continuation determinations, but may not be changed. That is, the initial number of special remaining G numbers may be determined in advance. Further, as the number of continuation determinations is increased, the probability of increasing the initial number of special remaining G numbers is increased. However, it may not be increased.

  In the above embodiment, during the ART normal mode, the continuation determination is performed a plurality of times, and the ART mode is continued based on the continuation determination result (a new ART special mode is set). The continuation determination may be performed a plurality of times, and the ART mode may be continued based on the result of the continuation determination.

  In the above embodiment, when the continuation determination is affirmed for the number of continuation determinations, the ART special mode is shifted (although the ART mode is continued), but it is not necessary to continue. That is, only the forced termination condition of the ART normal mode may be set. This makes it more interesting as to when to end.

In the above embodiment, the initial number of normal remaining G numbers may be arbitrarily changed. At that time, a lottery may be selected from a plurality of initial times.
In the above embodiment, the initial number of special remaining G numbers can be changed based on the number of affirmation of continuation determination. You may comprise so that the privilege content to change may be changed. For example, award medals scheduled to be paid out may be changed. Further, the affirmative probability of continuation determination in the next ART normal mode may be increased.

  In the above embodiment, when the continuation determination is affirmed more than the number of times of continuation determination (when the transition condition is satisfied during the ART normal mode), the ART special mode is set, but the ART normal mode is repeatedly executed. (A new ART normal mode may be set).

  -In the said embodiment, you may employ | adopt for a pachinko game machine. In the pachinko machine, the symbol variation game is started when the game ball enters the start winning opening and is detected by the start sensor. The pachinko gaming machine is given an advantageous gaming state that is advantageous to the player when a predetermined display result is displayed in the symbol variation game. In addition, when used in a pachinko machine, the advantageous gaming state is a jackpot game where a special winning opening is opened, a probability change state where the probability of jackpot determination is high, or an entrance where the probability of entering a starting winning hole is improved. It is a state in which the ball percentage is improved.
