Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pinball game machine which can improve game properties by frequently generating small winning and using the state advantageous to acquisition of prize balls.SOLUTION: When jackpot is determined in win/lose determination of a special symbol during operation of at least a probability variation function and opening extension function, operation of the opening extension function is over when special symbol starts to vary, and shift to a specific state occurs. Probability with which small winning is determined in win/lose determination of a second special symbol is set higher than probability with which lose is determined in the win/lose determination of the second special symbol, and average variation time of the second special symbol in the specific state is reduced more than an average variation time of the first special symbol. Thus, by shooting balls to aim at a second start port, the specific state is determined to be small winning in the win/lose determination of the second special symbol and becomes the state in which small winning games are frequently generated and which becomes advantageous to acquisition of prize balls.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine (hereinafter also referred to as a ball game machine).

  In conventional ball game machines, numerical data (random numbers) is obtained due to the game ball entering the starting port, and whether or not a decision is made is made with a special symbol variation based on the numerical data. If the result is a big hit, it is common to execute a big hit game that opens the big prize opening for a long time.

  In addition, in the ball game machine, when it is determined whether or not a big hit is made based on numerical data based on the numerical data caused by the game ball entering the starting port, a big hit game is executed and a small hit is determined. There are those that execute a small hit game with a smaller number of winning prize balls than the big hit game.

  Further, recent ball game machines have a first special symbol and a second special symbol, and a small determination is made based on whether or not the game ball has entered the starting port corresponding to the second special symbol. By setting a high probability of being determined to be a win, it is possible to generate a small hit game with a high probability, and by shortening the variation time of the second special symbol after the end of the big hit game, frequently generate a small hit Some move to a state where winning a prize ball is advantageous.

  By adopting such a configuration of a ball game machine, it is a big hit game that is executed by being determined as a big hit by a hit / no decision based on numerical data extracted when a game ball enters the starting port as in the prior art. New game characteristics different from the game characteristics of a ball game machine that obtains a prize ball can be exhibited.

Further, the sub integrated control device 83 is connected with an effect button 67 and a jog dial 68, and when the player operates the effect units 67, 68, the operation signal is input to the sub integrated control device 83. . The jog dial 68 may be connected to the effect symbol control device 82.

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

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 determines whether or not the first special symbol is correct due to the ball entering the first start port A11 or the first start port B12, and the second special symbol due to the ball entering the second start port 69. Is determined whether or not. In the present embodiment, the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is successful and the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful are performed simultaneously. In response to the determination, whether or not the first special symbol display device 9, the second special symbol display device 10, and the effect symbol display device 6 are changed. After that, when the first or second special symbol change time has passed and the first or second special symbol display device 9 or 10 displays the confirmed symbol of the first or second special symbol, the effect symbol display The effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol or the effect symbol 1007 corresponding to the second special symbol is fixedly displayed on the device 6 to notify the result of the first or second special symbol determination.
When the result of the determination whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit, the condition device is activated to activate the accessory continuous activation device, and the second grand prize winning port 91 is advantageous for winning a prize ball. The big hit game (special game) that is released in this manner is executed.

  On the other hand, when the result of the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful is a small hit, a small hit game in which the first big winning opening 14 is opened is executed. In the present embodiment, since it is not determined that the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit, the result of the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit, and the small hit game is not executed. .

  In the present embodiment, when the big win symbol is fixedly displayed on one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the other special symbol being changed is stopped at the lost symbol. In addition, when the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed with the second special symbol, measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol being varied is interrupted. After the small hit game based on the confirmed small hit symbol, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol that has been interrupted is resumed.

As the types of jackpots, probability variation jackpots and normal jackpots are provided. In the case of probability variation jackpots, after the jackpot game is over, the state shifts to the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state). On the other hand, in the case of a normal big hit, after the big hit game ends, the state shifts to the third specific state (low probability game state and open extended state).
In addition to the first specific state and the third specific state, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 according to the present embodiment includes a second specific state (a high probability gaming state and a non-open extended state), and a fourth specific state (low). Probabilistic gaming state and non-open extended state).

The high probability gaming state is a state in which a probability variation function that improves the probability of being determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol determination and the second special symbol determination is activated, and the low probability gaming state is a probability. A state in which the fluctuation function is not activated.
The open extended state (short-time state) means a state in which the short-time function is activated to extend the opening time of the normal electric accessory (open-extension function) and shorten the average fluctuation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol. The non-open extended state refers to the open extended state and the state in which the time reduction function is not activated.

Next, the game state of the pachinko machine 50 and the end timing of the operation of the probability variation function and the opening extension function when it is determined that the jackpot is described with reference to FIG.
Referring to FIG. 22 (a), the probability fluctuation when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) and the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit. The end timing of the function and the open extension function will be described.
When the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and opening extension state), the opening extension function is the first if the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit. It turns from on to off at the start of the variation of the special symbol (see FIG. 22 (a)). On the other hand, if the probability variation function is determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol success / failure determination, the probability variation function turns from on to off at the end of the variation of the first special symbol (see FIG. 22A).

Referring to FIG. 22 (b), the probability when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), and it is determined to be a big hit in the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful. The end timing of the variable function will be described.
When the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extension state), if it is determined to be a big hit in the second special symbol determination, the probability variation function and the opening extension The function is turned off from on at the end of the variation of the second special symbol (see FIG. 22B).

Next, referring to FIG. 22 (c), when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is in the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state), whether or not the first special symbol is determined or the second special symbol is determined. A description will be given of the end timing of the open extension function when it is determined to be a big hit in the determination.
In the third specific state (low-probability gaming state and open extension state), if it is determined that the first special symbol is successful or the second special symbol is true or bad, the open extension function is It turns from on to off at the end of symbol variation. On the other hand, since it is a low-probability gaming state, the probability variation function is off before it is determined to be a big hit.

The basic specifications of the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The jackpot probability of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the low probability gaming state is 1/300, and the jackpot probability of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the high probability gaming state is set to 1/30. . The small hit probability of the second special symbol is set to 1 / 1.01. In the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful, it is determined that the small special hit is almost a small hit. In addition, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is not set. In the present embodiment, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is not provided, but the small hit probability of the first special symbol may be provided.

  The number of winning balls by entering the first start port A11, the first start port B12, and the second start port 69 is three. In addition, the number of winning balls to the other winning holes (the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, or the fourth left winning port 34) is 10, and the first big winning port 14 There are 12 prize balls. The number of prize balls for the second grand prize winning opening 91 is twelve. The prescribed number of winnings to the first grand prize opening 14 is 8, and the prescribed number of winnings to the second big winning opening 91 is 10.

  The probability per normal symbol is 1/300 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extended state (when the open extension function is not operated), and 1 / 1.101 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the open extended state (when the open extension function is operated). When the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extended state (when the open extension function is not activated), the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is 0.2 seconds once. In the open extended state (when the open extended function is activated), 3.0 seconds is one time.

Referring to FIG. 19, privilege contents such as when it is determined that the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit in the second special symbol is determined.
When it is determined whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined to be a big hit, 40% is a 15R positive variation big hit, 25% is a 5R positive variable big hit, and 35% is a 10R normal big hit. The total number of rounds per 15R probability variation is 15 rounds. The total number of rounds per 5R probability variation is 5 rounds. Further, the total number of rounds per 10R normal jackpot is 10 rounds. In the case of 15R probability variable big hit and 5R probability variable big hit, the gaming state after the big hit game is shifted to the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state). The high probability gaming state and the open extension state are 10,000 times, and the big hit continues substantially until the next time. The game state after the end of the big hit game in the case of 10R normal big hit shifts to the third specific state (low probability game state and open extended state). The open extended state continues until the number of times of determination of success / failure in the open extended state reaches 100.

In determining whether or not the first special symbol is correct, it is determined whether it is a loss or a big hit, but it is not determined as a small hit.
In the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful, when a small hit is determined at a predetermined probability (in this embodiment, set to 1 / 1.01; see FIG. 18), a maximum of 0. A small hit game is executed in which the opening of the first big winning opening 14 for 9 seconds is performed twice. Since the gaming state does not change due to being determined as a small hit, the gaming state when the small special hit is determined in the second special symbol determination, and after the end of the small hit game The gaming state is the same.

Next, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol determined in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, with reference to FIG. 20, the variation time of the lost symbol in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
In the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds, 0.3 seconds to 40 Second, or 0.3 to 10 seconds. In addition, in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.
Also, in the second specific state (high probability gaming state and non-open extended state), since the first special symbol is changing the jackpot, the lose symbol is not determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, The time to change the lost symbol is also not determined. In addition, in the second specific state (high probability gaming state and non-open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 1.5 seconds. Is done.
In the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 3.0 seconds. In the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.
In the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state and non-open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 3.0 seconds to 180 seconds. In the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state and non-open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.

As described above, in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds, 0 .3 seconds to 40 seconds, or 0.3 seconds to 10 seconds, which will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In this embodiment, the first special symbol (high probability gaming state and open extended state) is determined to be lost in the first special symbol's success / failure determination according to the number of times of success / failure determination made after the transition to the first specific state. The variation time determined in the case of change is changed.
For example, when the number of times of determination of success / failure made by shifting to the first specific state is 1 to 30 times, the variation time is 0.3 seconds when it is determined to be lost in the determination of success / failure of the first special symbol. Determined at ~ 60 seconds.
In addition, when the number of times of the determination of success / failure performed by shifting to the first specific state is 31 to 60 times, the variation time is 0.3 seconds to 40 when it is determined that the first special symbol is determined to be lost. Determined in seconds.
When the number of times of success / failure determination performed in the first specific state is 61 to 10,000 times, the variation time is 0.3 seconds to 10 seconds when it is determined that the first special symbol is determined to be lost. To be determined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the variation time of the small hit symbol in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
In the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the small hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.
In the second specific state (high probability gaming state and non-open extended state), when the small hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 1.5 seconds. The
In the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state), when the small hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.
In the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state and non-open extended state), when the small hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.
In addition, since it is not determined that it is a small hit in the determination whether the first special symbol is successful, the variation time until the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed in the first special symbol is not determined.

Next, the variation time of the jackpot symbol in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
In the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is 120 seconds to 180 seconds, 90 seconds to 120 seconds, or 60 Second to 90 seconds are determined. In the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.
In the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extended state), the winning time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is not determined to be a big hit, so the variation time is determined There is nothing.
In the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 to 60 seconds. In the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.
In the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state and non-open extended state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 3.0 seconds to 180 seconds. In the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state and non-open extended state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.

As described above, in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is 120 seconds to 180 seconds, 90 seconds to Although it is determined to be 120 seconds or 60 seconds to 90 seconds, it will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In this embodiment, the first special symbol (high probability gaming state and open extended state) is determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol's success / failure determination according to the number of success / failure determinations made after the transition to the first specific state. The variation time determined in the case of change is changed.
For example, when the number of times of determination of success / failure made by shifting to the first specific state is 1 to 30 times, when the success / failure determination of the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit, the variation time is 120 seconds to 180 seconds. To be determined.
In addition, when the number of times of determination of success / failure made by shifting to the first specific state is 31 to 60 times, the variation time is 90 seconds to 120 seconds when the success / failure determination of the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit. It is determined.
When the number of times of success / failure determination made in the first specific state is 61 to 10000 times, when the success / failure determination of the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit, the variation time is determined to be 60 to 90 seconds Is done.

  In this embodiment, the variation time determined when it is determined that the number of hit determinations made after the transition to the first specific state (the high probability gaming state and the open extension state) is a big hit is long. (See FIG. 21B), but other configurations may be used. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the variation time determined when it is determined that a big hit is greater when the number of times of determination of success / failure made after the transition to the first specific state (the high probability gaming state and the open extension state) is increased.

Here, the configuration of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state), or the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state). In the non-extended extended state), the game ball is launched aiming at the first start opening A11 or the first start opening B12, and the big hit in the determination of the success / failure of the first special symbol is aimed.
In this embodiment, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), if it is determined that the first special symbol is a big hit, the first special symbol The long variation time is determined (see FIG. 21 (b)), the opening extension function ends at the start of the variation of the special symbol (see FIG. 22 (a)), and the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first Transition from one specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) to the second specific state (high probability gaming state and non-open extended state), and the variable display of the first special symbol is performed in the second specific state become.

  Since the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is determined and the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is performed simultaneously, even if the first special symbol is displayed in the second specific state, the second start port Whether or not the second special symbol is determined is determined based on the random number extracted by causing the game ball to enter 69 and the variable display of the second special symbol is started. In addition, in the determination of whether or not the second special symbol is successful, it is determined as a small hit with a high probability (see FIG. 18).

  Variation time of the second special symbol determined when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is determined to be a small hit in the second special symbol determination in the second specific state (high probability gaming state and non-open extended state) ( 0.3 seconds to 1.5 seconds) is sufficiently short, so that the small bonus symbol can be confirmed and displayed with the second special symbol before the changing first special symbol is confirmed and displayed with the big bonus symbol. Become. When the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is interrupted, and measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is started after the small hit game ends.

  The pachinko machine 50 according to the present embodiment has the above-described configuration, so that the game ball is placed in the second starting port 69 until the first special symbol that is changing in the second specific state is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol. It is possible to increase the number of award balls by entering a small number of small hit games.

Thereafter, when the variation time of the first special symbol elapses, the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, and the big hit game based on the big hit symbol that is confirmed and displayed is performed.
By determining whether or not the first special symbol is a big hit in the first specific state, a small hit game is frequently generated during a big hit variation of the first special symbol, and then a prize ball is obtained. You can get a ball.

  The payout rate (ratio of prize balls to the number of game balls fired in the game area 3) when the second starting port 69 is aimed at during the second specific state (high probability game state and non-open extended state) The probability of being determined to be a small hit in the second winning / failing determination so as to be a predetermined value (a value of 1 or more), the variation time of the second special symbol, the rate of entering the first big winning opening 14, and a prize The number of balls may be adjusted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), confirmation of winning at the first starting port A11, the first starting port B12, and the second starting port 69 and input of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are performed. Processing is executed.
In this embodiment, when a game ball wins the first starting port A11, the first starting port B12, and the second starting port 69, a big hit determining random number, a big hit symbol determining random number, a variation pattern determining random number, a reach determining random number, etc. Although a plurality of random numbers are acquired, the number of the reserved storage is limited to four at the first start port (first start port A11, first start port B12) and the second start port 69, and the reserved memory is full. Even if the game ball wins the first start port (first start port A11, first start port B12) or the second start port 69 when the number is four, the prize balls are only paid out. The random number is not stored on hold.

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

  In the subsequent fraud monitoring process (S60), whether or not fraud is performed on the normal winning award (the first left winning port 31, the second left winning port 32, the third left winning port 33, the fourth left winning port 34) is monitored. It is a process to determine whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number. It is processing to do. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

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

  The above-described remaining process following this process is composed of the initial value random number update process (S70), but is exactly the same process as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeated as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute this processing from S10 to S65 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the jackpot processing, the difference in the display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial random number is not uniform when the interrupt process shown in FIG. 5 is executed once. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number is synchronized with the big hit determination random number becomes extremely small. If the value of the initial random number (3967 from 0 to 3966) when the big hit determination random number is made one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/3967. The hit determination random number update process (S35) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  The winning confirmation process of S50 is as shown in FIG. 6, and the main controller 80 determines the first start port (first output) based on the detection signal of the first start port A switch 11a or the first start port B switch 12a. It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the start port A11 or the first start port B12) (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this embodiment) It is determined whether the number is 4) (S105).

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), each random number is stored as the first reserved memory, the number of lighting of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110), and the process proceeds to S111. And migrate. In S110, the main control device 80 transmits a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the first hold memory to the sub integrated control device 83.

In the first look-ahead determination process of S111, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the random number for determination of success / failure stored in the reserved storage of the first special symbol corresponds to the jackpot. When it is determined that the game corresponds to a big hit, a prefetch command indicating a big hit is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. If it is determined that it does not correspond to the big hit, the main control device 80 moves from the sub-integrated control device 83 to reach unreachability (out of reach but only reach display) or super reach loss (lost but super reach) Data such as whether there is only display) or whether there is no reach display, or data of the time taken to read the reserved memory subject to the prefetch determination (that is, the reserved memory older than the reserved memory subject to the prefetch determination) The prefetch command including the data of the total variation time included in (1) is transmitted.
The pre-read command may be combined with the above-described reserved number command and transmitted as one command. When the transmission timing is the same and the production is performed with the reserved symbol, it is preferable because the relevance is high. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S115.

  If there are already four first hold memories (S105: yes), the process proceeds to S115 without storing the hold and without increasing the number of lighting of the first special symbol hold number display device 18.

  Even when it is determined that no game ball has entered the first start port A11 and the first start port B12 (S100: no), the process proceeds to S115, and based on the detection signal of the second start port switch 69a, 2. It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the start port 69. If the determination is affirmative (S115: yes), the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second reserved memory is full (this embodiment) (S120).

  If the second reserved memory is not full (S120: no), each random number is stored as the second reserved memory, the number of lighting of the second special symbol reserved number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S125), and the process proceeds to S126. And migrate. In S125, a hold number command indicating the hold number stored in the second hold memory is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83.

In the second look-ahead determination process of S126, main controller 80 determines whether or not the random number for determination of success / failure stored in the reserved storage of the second special symbol corresponds to the jackpot. When it is determined that the game corresponds to a big hit, a prefetch command indicating a big hit is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. When it is determined that it does not correspond to the big hit, the main control device 80 changes from the main control device 80 to the sub-integrated control device 83, the reach is out (out, but there is a reach display), or the super reach loss (is out, but super reach display) Yes) or a prefetch command including data such as whether there is no reach display.
The pre-read command may be combined with the above-described reserved number command and transmitted as one command. When the transmission timing is the same and the production is performed with the reserved symbol, it is preferable because the relevance is high. Thereafter, this process is terminated (returned).

  If there are already four second reserved memories (S120: yes), the second reserved memory is not stored, and this process is ended (returned) without increasing the number of lighting of the second special symbol hold number display device 19. . Moreover, this process is also complete | finished also when the game ball has not entered into the 2nd starting port 69 (S115: no).

The special symbol success / failure determination processing will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 7, in the first special symbol success / failure determination process, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is in operation (S150). If a negative determination is made in S150 (S150: no), the first special symbol is not changing (S155: no), and if the confirmed symbol is not displayed (S160: no), the process proceeds to S200 in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is storage (holding storage in S110 of FIG. 6 above) (S200). If the special electric accessory is operating (S150: yes), the process proceeds to special game processing.

  If there is a first reserved memory (S200: yes), the first reserved memory number is decremented (S205), and the process proceeds to S210. If there is no first reserved memory (S200: no), the first special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to a special game process.

  In S210, main controller 80 reads the oldest first stored memory (deletes the stored memory) and determines whether or not the probability change flag is set (ie, 1). Here, the probability variation flag “1” means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. In the case of an affirmative determination (S210: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S215). In the case of negative determination (S210: no), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S220).

In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not the second special symbol is undergoing big hit fluctuation (S225). If the big hit is not fluctuating (S225: no), the first reserved memory is decremented, and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value to determine whether or not it is a big hit (S235). On the other hand, when the big hit is changing (S225: yes), the process proceeds to S280.
In this embodiment, the jackpot probability in the low probability gaming state is set to 1/300, and the jackpot probability in the high probability gaming state is set to 1/30 (see FIG. 18).

  In the process of S235, if it is determined that it is a big hit (S235: yes), it is determined whether or not the first specific state flag is set to “1” (S240). On the other hand, if it is determined to be lost (S235: no), the process proceeds to S280.

  In S240, when a negative determination is made (S240: no), the process proceeds to S260. In the case of an affirmative determination (S240: yes), the time reduction flag is set to “0” (S245), the first specific state flag is set to “0” (S250), and the process proceeds to S260. When the time flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, an average extension time reduction for special symbols, an average change time reduction for ordinary symbols, and an opening extension function for extending the opening time of ordinary electric accessories are set. The first specific state flag is a flag indicating that the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state).

  In S260, main controller 80 determines a jackpot symbol using the jackpot symbol determination random number, and determines a jackpot variation pattern using the variation pattern determination random number in the jackpot variation pattern determination process (S265). After the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S270), and the process proceeds to S295. The jackpot setting process is based on the determined jackpot design, the gaming status after the jackpot (such as whether there is an extension of the opening) and information on the jackpot game (opening time of the jackpot, the opening pattern of the second jackpot 91, the ending time of the jackpot, Round number).

Here, the big hit variation pattern determination process (S265) will be described.
First, the case where it is determined that the jackpot is in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) will be described.
In S265, the main controller 80 determines that the first special symbol of the first special symbol when it is determined that the number of times of success / failure determination made after shifting to the first specific state is 1 to 30 times. The variation time is determined to be 120 seconds to 180 seconds (see FIG. 21B). Further, when it is determined that a big hit is made between 31 to 60 times after the transition to the first specific state, the variation time of the first special symbol is set to 90 seconds to 120 seconds. Seconds are determined (see FIG. 21B). If it is determined that the number of winning / failing determinations made after the transition to the first specific state is between 61 and 10,000 times, the variation time of the first special symbol is set to 60 to 90 seconds. Determine (see FIG. 21B).

  In this embodiment, the jackpot variation pattern determined by the number of variations of the special symbol in the first specific state after the jackpot game is finished is different (see FIG. 21B). It is not limited and other configurations may be used. For example, the jackpot variation pattern determined in S265 may be different depending on the jackpot symbol determined in S260. The big hit fluctuation pattern determined in S265 depends on whether the big hit that triggered the transition of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 to the first specific state is the big hit of 15R or 5R. Different configurations are possible.

The case where it is determined that the jackpot is in the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extended state) will be described.
In S265, main controller 80 determines that the variation time of the first special symbol is 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds in the third specific state (low-probability gaming state and open extended state) if it is determined to be a big hit. Determine (see FIG. 20).

The case where it is determined that the jackpot is in the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state and non-open extended state) will be described.

  When it is determined in S225 that the second special symbol is changing the big hit (S225: yes), or the first reserved memory is decremented and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value. When it is determined (S235: no), the lost symbol is determined (S280), the variation pattern is determined by the random number for determining the variation pattern (S285), the loss setting process is performed (S290), and the process proceeds to S295. . In the lose setting process, if the number of time reductions is positive, -1 is set.

  Subsequent to S270 or S290, data indicating the above-described lottery result, specifically, data indicating a big hit, reach out (out, but with reach display), or out without reach display, and the variation time. A variation start command (display control command) including variation pattern data to be designated is output to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S295), and special game processing is performed.

Here, the loss variation pattern determination process (S285) will be described.
First, the case where it is determined to be lost in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) will be described.
In S285, if the main controller 80 determines that the number of times of determination of success / failure made after shifting to the first specific state is 1 to 30 times, the variation time of the first special symbol Is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds (see FIG. 21A). In addition, when it is determined that the number of times of success / failure determination made after shifting to the first specific state is 31 to 60 times, the variation time of the first special symbol is set to 0.3 seconds. It is determined to be ˜40 seconds (see FIG. 21A). If it is determined that the number of times of determination of success / failure made after shifting to the first specific state is 61 times to 10000 times, the variation time of the first special symbol is set to 0.3 seconds to 10 seconds. Seconds are determined (see FIG. 21A).

In S285, if the main controller 80 determines that the game is lost in the third specific state (low probability game state and open extended state), the main special device 80 changes the variation time of the first special symbol to 0.3 to 60 seconds. Determine (see FIG. 20).

The case where it is determined to be lost in the fourth specific state (low probability gaming state and non-open extended state) will be described.
In S285, main controller 80 determines that the variation time of the first special symbol is 0.3 seconds to 180 seconds in the fourth specific state (low-probability gaming state and non-open extended state) if it is determined to be lost. (See FIG. 20).

  Returning to FIG. In FIG. 7, when the first special symbol is changing (S155: yes), the process proceeds to S450 in FIG. If the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), the process proceeds to S500 in FIG.

Next, the second special symbol success / failure determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
In the second special symbol success / failure determination process, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating (S300). If the special electric accessory is not operating (S300: no), the special symbol is not changing (S305: no), and the final symbol is not displayed (S310: no), the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. It is determined whether there is a second reserved memory (the above-described reserved memory in S125 of FIG. 6) (S350). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S300: yes), the process proceeds to the special game process.

  If there is the second reserved memory (S350: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S355), and the process proceeds to S360. If there is no second reserved memory (S350: no), the second special symbol success / failure determination process is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the special game process.

  In S360, main controller 80 reads the oldest second hold memory (deletes the hold memory) and determines whether or not the probability change flag is set (ie, 1). Here, the probability variation flag “1” means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in a high probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S360: yes), the read jackpot determination random number is collated with the winning value recorded in the probability variation table (S365), and the process proceeds to S375. If the determination is negative (S360: no), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S370), and the process proceeds to S375.

In S375, main controller 80 determines whether or not the first special symbol is in a big hit variation. If the big hit is not changing (S375: no), the second reserved memory is decremented and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value to determine whether or not the big hit is made (S380). When it is determined that the first special symbol is changing the big hit (S375: yes), or the second reserved memory is decremented, and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value.

In S400, main controller 80 decrements the second reserved memory, collates the read big hit determination random number with the hit value, and determines whether or not it is a small hit (S400). This compares the extracted jackpot determination random number value with a table storing a predetermined small hit value. If it is determined that it is a small hit (S400: yes), a small hit symbol is determined based on the symbol determining random number (S405). The small hit probability of the second special symbol is 1 / 1.01 (see FIG. 18).

It is determined whether the symbol variation time (based on the variation pattern of S265, S285, S390, S410, or S425) has elapsed.
When the symbol variation time has elapsed (S450: yes), a fixed symbol display process is performed (S485), and the process proceeds to S490. In the fixed symbol display process, a command for displaying a fixed symbol (symbol fixed command) is output to the sub-integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the fixed symbol. Let
Thereafter, in S490, it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol is a big hit symbol. If it is a big hit symbol (S490: yes), the stop flag is set to “1” (S492), and the process proceeds to the special game process. If it is determined that the symbol is not a big hit symbol (S490: no), it is determined whether the symbol is a small hit symbol (S495). If it is a small hit symbol (S495: yes), the interruption flag is set to "1" (S497), and the process proceeds to special game processing. If it is determined that the symbol is not a small hit symbol (S495: no), the process proceeds to a special game process.

  If the symbol variation time has not elapsed (S450: no), it is determined whether or not the stop flag is set to "1" (S455). If the determination is affirmative (S455: yes), the process proceeds to S460. If the determination is negative (S455: no), the process proceeds to S470.

  In S460, the main controller 80 stops one of the changing special symbols of the first special symbol or the second special symbol at the lost symbol, and shifts to the special game process.

When the interruption flag is set to “1” (S470: yes), the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is interrupted (S475), and the process proceeds to the special game process. When the interruption flag is “0” (S470: no), the process proceeds to special game processing.
In the present embodiment, in the special symbol interruption process (S475), when the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is suspended, the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is suspended, but the first special symbol is varied. May be. Moreover, when the measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol is interrupted, the first special symbol may be stopped at a predetermined symbol and the measurement of the variation time may be interrupted.

  When it is determined in S160 of FIG. 7 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), or when it is determined that the confirmed symbol is being displayed in S310 of FIG. 9 (S310: yes), the process proceeds to S500 of FIG. Then, it is determined whether or not the display time of the fixed symbol has ended. If the determination is negative (S500: no), the process proceeds to special game processing. In addition, when the display time of the fixed symbol is ended (S500: yes), the display of the fixed symbol is ended (S505), and it is determined that the combination of the special symbol that is fixedly displayed is a big hit. (S510: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set to “1” (S525). If the determination is affirmative (S525: yes), the probability variation flag is set to “0” (S530). , The process proceeds to S535. If the determination is negative (S525: no), the process proceeds to S535.

  In S535, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is set to “1”. If the determination is affirmative (S535: yes), the time reduction flag is set to “0” (S540), and S545. Migrate to If the determination is negative (S535: no), the process proceeds to S545.

  In S545, the big hit flag is set to “1” by the condition device operation start process. In subsequent S550, the accessory continuous operation device is operated, and in S555, a big hit game start process is performed. In the jackpot game start process, a command for starting the jackpot game and information related to the jackpot game (such as the jackpot opening time, release pattern, jackpot ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process ends, a special game process is performed.

  If it is determined in S510 that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big win (S510: no), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is “1” (S560). S560: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation number is 0 (S565). If the determination is affirmative (S565: yes), the probability variation flag is set to “0” (S570), and the process proceeds to S575. When the probability variation flag is “0” (S560: no), or when the probability variation number is not 0 (S565: no), the process proceeds to S575.

  In S575, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the time reduction flag is “1”. If it is “1” (S575: yes), it determines whether or not the number of time reductions is 0 (S580). If the number of time reductions is 0 (S580: yes), the time reduction flag is set to 0 in S585, and the process proceeds to S590. When the time reduction flag is “0” (S575: no) or when the time reduction count is not 0 (S580: no), the process proceeds to S590 as it is.

In S590, the main control device 80 displays a state designation command indicating whether the current gaming state is a high-probability gaming state, an open extension state, or the like as a special symbol determination time (600 ms). After that, the data is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 and the process proceeds to S595.
In the case of the present embodiment, the timing for transmitting the state designation command from the main controller 80 to the sub integrated controller 83 in the special symbol success / failure determination processing is after the special symbol determination time. It may be configured to transmit a state designation command even at the time of recovery.

  In S595, main controller 80 determines whether or not the second special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is a small hit symbol. If the confirmed second special symbol is a small hit symbol (S595: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory is started (S600), and a small hit game start process (S605) is performed. In the small hit game start processing (S605), a command for starting the small hit game and information related to the small hit game (opening time for small hit, opening pattern, small hitting ending time, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. . When the small hit game start process (S605) ends, the process proceeds to a special game process. If the second special symbol is not a small hit symbol (S595: no), the process proceeds to the special game process.

The special game process will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, in the special game process, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the jackpot flag (S750). It is determined whether or not the second consecutive prize opening 91 is closed by determining whether or not the second consecutive prize opening 91 is open (S755). If it is determined (S755: no), it is determined whether the second big prize winning opening 91 is closed during the interval between rounds (S760). If it is not during the interval (S760: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being performed (S765). If this is also a negative determination (S765: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the production to start the big hit game has passed (S770). When the big hit start effect time has elapsed (S770: yes), the big winning opening opening process (S775) is performed and this process is terminated. If the jackpot start effect time has not elapsed (S770: no), the special game process is terminated.
If the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S750: no), the process proceeds to the small hit game process of FIG.

If it is determined that the second grand prize winning opening 91 is open (S755: yes), the process proceeds to S800 in FIG. 16 and it is determined whether ten second winning prize winning openings 91 have been won or not. In the present embodiment, the number is 10, but it may be 9 or 8, and is not particularly limited. When ten pieces are won in the second big prize opening 91 (S800: yes), the second big prize opening closing process (S810) is performed. Then, a big hit interval process (S815) is performed, and the special game process is terminated.
Further, when 10 pieces have not been won in the second big prize opening 91 (S800: no), the process proceeds to S805, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the second big prize opening 91 has ended. In the present embodiment, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 30 seconds in any case of big rounds of 5 rounds, 10 rounds or 15 rounds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S805: yes), the process merges with S810, and when it is not over (S805: no), the special game process is finished.

  If it is determined in S760 in FIG. 13 that the interval is in progress (S760: yes), the process proceeds to S820 in FIG. 14 to determine whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S820: yes), it is determined whether or not the second round winning opening 91 was opened immediately before in the final round (S825). If it is the final round (S825: yes), the big hit end effect process (S830) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S825: no), the process of opening the second grand prize winning port 91 is performed again (S835), and the special game process is terminated. When it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S820: no), the special game process is terminated as it is. Note that, in the process of opening / closing the second grand prize winning opening 91, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Based on the signal, the sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  When it is determined in S765 in FIG. 13 that the big hit end effect is being performed (S765: yes), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG. 15 to determine whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S850: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S855), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S860). On the other hand, if the big hit end effect time has not elapsed (S850: no), the special game process is ended.

  In S865, the main controller 80 determines whether or not to shift to probability change in the next gaming state acquired in S270 and S395. When shifting to probability change (S865: yes), the number of times of probability change is set (S870), the probability change flag is set to 1 (S875), and the process proceeds to S880. When the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. If the process does not proceed to the certainty (S865: no), the process proceeds to S880 as it is. Note that the number of probability changes is set to 10,000, which substantially guarantees the continuity of the probability change until the next big hit.

In S880, it is determined whether or not the next game state shifts to a shorter time. When shifting to a shorter time (S880: yes), the number of shorter times is set (S885), a shorter time flag is set to 1 (S890), and the process proceeds to S895. If the time does not shift quickly (S880: no), the flow shifts to S895.
The number of time reductions set in S885 is normally 100 times for big hits, but is set to 10000 times for probable big hits, substantially guaranteeing continuation of time reduction until the next big hit. When the time flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, an average extension time reduction for special symbols, an average change time reduction for ordinary symbols, and an opening extension function for extending the opening time of ordinary electric accessories are set.

  In S895, main controller 80 determines whether or not the first specific state flag is set to “1”. If the determination is affirmative (S895: yes), the first specific state flag is set to “0” (S9000), and the process proceeds to S905. If the determination is negative (S895: no), the process proceeds to S905.

  In S905, it is determined whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 after the end of the big hit game shifts to the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extension state). If the determination is affirmative (S905: yes), the first specific state flag is set to "1" (S907), and the process proceeds to S908. If the determination is negative (S905: yes), the process proceeds to S908.

  In S908, main controller 80 determines whether or not a stop flag is set to “1”. If the determination is affirmative (S908: yes), the stop flag is set to “0” (S909), and the process proceeds to S910. If the determination is negative (S908: no), the process proceeds to S910 as it is.

  In S910, the main control device 80 performs processing for transmitting a jackpot end command to the sub integrated control device 83, and transmits a status designation command to the sub integrated control device 83 in S915.

If it is determined in FIG. 13 that the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S750: no), the process proceeds to the small hit game process.
The small hit game process will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17.
First, in S950, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is in operation, and if in operation (S950: yes), it determines whether or not the first grand prize winning opening 14 is open (S955). . In the case of a negative determination (S955: no), it is determined whether it is during the interval between small hit games (S960). If it is not the interval between the small hit games (S960: no) and is not in the end effect of the small hit game (S965: no), it waits for the time required for the start effect of the small hit game to elapse (S970: yes). Then, the first grand prize opening 14 is opened (S975), and this process is terminated. If it is determined that the special electric accessory is not operating (S950: no) or that the time required for the small hit start effect has not elapsed (S970: no), this process is terminated. .

  If it is determined in S955 in FIG. 16 that the first grand prize opening 14 is open (S955: yes), the process proceeds to S1000 in FIG. 17 and whether or not eight first prize winning holes 14 have been won. judge. If the determination is affirmative (S1000: yes), the process proceeds to S1010. In the case of a negative determination (S1000: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 14 has ended (S1005). If the determination is affirmative (S1005: yes), the process proceeds to S1010. If the determination is negative (S1005: no), the small hit game process is terminated.

  In S1010, the main control device 80 performs a first big winning opening closing process, and in S1015, performs a small hit interval process, and ends the small hit game process. In the present embodiment, in the case of a small hit, the maximum time for each opening is set to 0.9 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time is over (S1005: yes), the first big prize opening closing process is performed in S1010.

  When it is determined in S960 in FIG. 16 that the small hit interval is in progress (S960: yes), the process proceeds to S1020 in FIG. 17 to determine whether or not the small hit interval time has elapsed. When the small hit interval time has elapsed (S1020: yes), the process proceeds to S1025. In the case of negative determination (S1020: no), the small hit game processing is ended.

  In S1025, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the first large winning opening 14 has been opened a predetermined number (here, twice) or eight. If the determination is affirmative (S1025: yes), a small hit end effect process (S1030) is performed to end the small hit game process. In the case of a negative determination (S1025: no), the first big prize opening 14 is opened once for 0.9 seconds by the first big prize opening process (S1035), and the small hit game process is ended. In other words, in the small hit, the first big winning opening 14 is basically opened twice for 0.9 seconds, but if there are 8 or more wins in one opening, only a single opening is a small hit. Ends. Actually, it is rare that 8 or more winnings are generated in one opening.

  When it is determined in S965 in FIG. 16 that the small hit end effect is being performed (S965: yes), the process proceeds to S1040 in FIG. 17 to determine whether or not the small hit end effect time has elapsed. When it is determined that the small hit end effect time has elapsed (S1040: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory is stopped in S1045, and the small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1050). Then, the process proceeds to S1055. If the small hit end effect time has not elapsed (S1040: no), the small hit game processing is ended.

  In S1055, main controller 80 determines whether or not the interruption flag is set to “1”. If the determination is affirmative (S1055: yes), the interruption flag is set to “0” (S1060), and the process proceeds to S1070. If the determination is negative (S1055: no), the small hit game process is terminated.

  In S1070, main controller 80 cancels the interruption of measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol, restarts measurement of the variation time of the first special symbol (S1070), and ends the small hit game process.

An example of the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 23 shows an example of an effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is the fourth specific state (low probability game state and non-open extended state). .
An effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol fluctuates in the center of the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 23A). After that, among the effect symbols 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol, the left effect symbol and the right effect symbol stop at “5”, and the middle effect symbol fluctuates, so that the reach state is reached (FIG. 23 ( see b)). Then, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as “555” to notify the player that the game has been a big hit (see FIG. 23C).

Using FIG. 24, when it is determined that the jackpot game is executed in the special symbol success / failure determination processing and the jackpot game is finished, the transition is made to the first specific state (the high probability game state and the open extended state). An example of the effect mode displayed on the screen of the symbol display device 6 will be described.
When the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 shifts to the first specific state, “Tatsuyoshi Chance Zone” is displayed at the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 24A). Note that a prefetch effect display 1001 is displayed below the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 24A). As shown in FIG. 24A, the pre-reading effect display 1001 displays “00:30 Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode, if you can enter the big hit!”.
Here, the prefetching effect display 1001 is a prefetching effect performed during the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state). The pre-reading effect display 1001 of the present embodiment displays the time until the reserved memory that is the target of the pre-reading effect is digested and the change of the special symbol is started. The player is notified whether or not the RUSH mode can be entered.

FIG. 24B shows an effect mode in which 20 seconds have elapsed since the effect mode shown in FIG. 24A is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
The pre-reading effect display 1001 displays “00:10 Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode, if you can enter the big hit!” (See FIG. 24B). If the pre-reading effect display 1001 can enter the Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode when the remaining 10 seconds have elapsed, the player is informed that the big hit is confirmed.

  When the effect mode shown in FIG. 24B is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 and 10 seconds have passed and it is determined that the first special symbol is a big hit, the mode shifts to the Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode. (See FIG. 24 (c)). As shown in FIG. 24 (c), a pre-reading effect display 1001 displayed as “Big hit confirmed Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode entered!” Is displayed at the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to FIG. In the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a right game area launch display 1004 is displayed (see FIG. 24D). The right firing area launch display 1004 displays “Please make a right strike”. This notifies the player to fire a game ball from the left game area L to the right game area R.

Also, when the effect mode shown in FIG. 24 (b) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 and 10 seconds have elapsed and it is determined that the first special symbol is lost, the Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode is set. There is no transition (see FIG. 24E).
As shown in FIG. 24 (e), a display 1005 is displayed at the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The pre-reading effect display 1001 displays “Sorry ... Tatsuyoshi cannot enter the RUSH mode ...”. The effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol fluctuates below the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.

  After the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 has shifted to the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), if it is determined that the first special symbol is a big hit, the production mode shown in FIG. To the effect mode shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, a battle effect is performed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the big hit variation of the first special symbol when it is determined that it is a big hit in the first specific state (see FIGS. 25 and 26). ). If a specific performance character (production character 1006 in FIGS. 25 and 26) can win the battle during the battle performance, it is a promising big hit, and if it is defeated in the battle, it is a normal big hit. .

An effect character 1006 and an effect character 1009 are displayed in the center of the effect symbol display device 6, and a battle between the effect character 1006 and the effect character 1009 is started (see FIG. 25A).
In the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1007 corresponding to the second special symbol is stopped at “157”.
In the present embodiment, the remaining time until the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a jackpot symbol is not displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be such that the remaining time until the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 may be displayed.

  Shifting to FIG. An effect symbol 1007 corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner (see FIG. 25B).

  When the small winning symbol is confirmed and displayed with the second special symbol, the process proceeds to FIG. In FIG. 25C, the effect symbol 1007 corresponding to the second special symbol is stopped at “246”, and the small hit game is executed. On the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect character 1006 and the effect character 1009 are in a battle, and the effect character 1006 is in a pinch situation (see FIG. 25C).

  In FIG. 25 (d), the effect symbol 1007 corresponding to the second special symbol is changed. On the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a revival effect indicating whether or not the effect character 1006 can be revived is displayed, and an effect instructing the player to hit the effect button 67 repeatedly is displayed (FIG. 5). 25 (d)).

  If it succeeds by the continuous hitting operation of the effect button 67, the process proceeds to FIG. On the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, an effect for notifying that the effect character 1006 has been restored is displayed. This notifies that the Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode will continue. And it transfers to Fig.26 (a).

  After that, when the variation time of the first special symbol elapses and the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, the effect shown in FIG. 26B is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. Become. In FIG. 26B, the player is informed that the effect character 1006 has won the battle. When the effect character 1006 wins the battle, the game shifts to the first specific state (high probability game state and open extended state) after the big hit game is over.

  Thereafter, when the process proceeds to FIG. 26C, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol stops on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the player is informed that it has been a big hit. . The production symbol 1007 corresponding to the second special symbol stops at “123”.

Referring to FIG. 27, when the final round is over and the jackpot game is over, the transition to the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), or the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open) The effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when shifting to the extended state) will be described.
In the final round of the big hit game, the production character “Tatsuyoshi Kuma no” is displayed at the center of the screen of the production symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 27A). A round number display 1010 is displayed on the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the round number display 1010, “final R” is displayed, and the player is notified of the final round (see FIG. 27A).

  Thereafter, in the case of shifting to the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extension state) after the big hit game is over, the transition is made to the effect shown in FIG. In the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “Tatsuyoshi Chance Zone” is displayed. A left game area launch display 1012 is displayed below the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The left game area launch display 1012 displays “Return to left-handed”. By displaying the left game area launch display 1012, the player is instructed to stop firing the game ball to the right game area R and return the game ball to the left game area L.

  Further, in the case of shifting to the third specific state (low probability gaming state and open extension state) after the big hit game is over, the transition is made to the effect shown in FIG. A left game area launch display 1012 is displayed below the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The left game area launch display 1012 displays “Return to left-handed”. By displaying the left game area launch display 1012, the player is instructed to stop firing the game ball to the right game area R and return the game ball to the left game area L.

The big hits in the determination of success / failure of the first special symbol of this embodiment include a 15R probability variation big hit, a 5R probability variation big hit, and a 10R normal big hit (see FIG. 19).
In the present embodiment, during the big hit fluctuation when it is determined that the big hit is determined by the determination of success or failure based on the game ball entering the first start opening A11 or the first start opening 12B in the open extended state, the big hit is a probable big hit. The expectation level (after the jackpot game is ended, the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) is indicated, or an effect that suggests the total number of rounds of the jackpot is executed.
In addition, when it is determined to be a big hit in the open / extended state based on whether or not a win is determined based on the game ball entering the first start opening A11 or the first start opening 12B, the effect symbol is displayed during the big hit change according to the type of the big hit described above. A dedicated effect may be displayed on the screen of the device 6.

Here, with reference to FIG. 28, the 15R probability variable big hit executed during the big hit change when the first special symbol (high probability gaming state and open extended state) is determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol determination. A production mode showing a certain degree of expectation will be described. In addition, it has the structure where the production | presentation aspect displayed on the screen of the production symbol display apparatus 6 differs with the expectation degree which is 15R probability variation big hit (refer FIG. 28).
In the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit in the determination of the success or failure and the expectation that the big hit is a 15R probability variable big hit is the highest, The effect mode shown in FIG. 28A is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In addition, the battle effect of the effect character 1006 and the effect character 1009 is performed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 28A).

  In the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and open extended state), an effect mode is shown in FIG. 28A in which the degree of expectation that the jackpot is determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol determination and the jackpot is a 15R probability variable big hit. If it is lower than when it is displayed, the effect mode shown in FIG. 28B is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the big hit fluctuation. In addition, the battle effect of the effect character 1006 and the effect character 1014 is performed on the screen of the effect symbol display apparatus 6 (refer FIG.28 (b)).

  Further, in the first specific state (the high probability gaming state and the open extended state), the expectation degree that the big hit is determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol determination and the big hit is a 15R probability variation big hit is shown in FIGS. When the effect mode shown in (b) is lower than when the effect mode is displayed, the effect mode shown in FIG. 28 (c) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the big hit fluctuation. In addition, the battle effect of the effect character 1006 and the effect character 1015 is performed on the screen of the effect symbol display apparatus 6 (refer FIG.28 (c)).

  There are three types of jackpots, the 15R probability variation big hit, the 5R probability variation big hit, or the 10R normal big hit, which are judged by the first special symbol success / failure judgment. The effect display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the jackpot fluctuation when it is determined that the expectation that the jackpot is a promising jackpot is indicated, and the total number of rounds of the jackpot is suggested. It is possible to execute an effect display in consideration of the result of which one of the three types of big hits is the big hit determined by the first special symbol success / failure determination, so small hit games frequently occur Even in the state of performing, the production mode can be entertained.

  It should be noted that, in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), the jackpot determined in the determination of whether or not the first special symbol is successful is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 according to the expectation level that the 15R probability variation big hit is expected. In other configurations, for example, depending on the type of jackpot determined in the first special symbol (high probability gaming state and open extended state) in the first special symbol determination, It is good also as a structure by which a fixed effect aspect is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display apparatus 6. FIG. For example, in the case of 15R probability variation big hit, the effect mode shown in FIG. 28 (a) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and in the case of 5R probability variation big hit, the illustration is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. When the effect mode shown in FIG. 28 (b) is displayed and the 10R normal big hit is obtained, a configuration in which the effect mode shown in FIG. 28 (c) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is conceivable.

  According to the above ball game machines, the second specific state (the high probability game state and the non-open extended state) can be set to a state in which small hit games can be frequently executed, and the second specific state is the first specific state. In the state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), it will be a state that does not shift unless it is determined that the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit, so in the first specific state it is determined that the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit Thus, if the player enters the second specific state in which the small hit game can be executed frequently, the big hit can be determined. By causing the small hit game to occur frequently until the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as the big hit symbol in the second specific state, the prize ball acquired by the small hit game can be added to the winning ball acquired by the big hit game. As a result, it is possible to increase the number of winning balls once triggered by a big hit. In addition, since it is not possible to shift to the second specific state unless the first special symbol is determined to be a big win in the first specific state, it is possible to frequently win the small hit game and acquire a prize ball. It is possible to differentiate between the second specific state and the open extended state.

  Also, in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), when it is determined that the first special symbol is a big hit, it will be determined from a plurality of variation patterns, It is possible to vary the number of times the second special symbol can be varied in the second specific state (high probability gaming state and non-open extended state) according to the determined variation time.

  According to the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), the variation time determined when it is determined that the first special symbol is a big hit or a loss is determined. It is possible to change the timing according to the timing determined to be a big hit or a loss after shifting to the first specific state.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the first embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown.
The “first start port A” of the present invention corresponds to the first start port A11, the “first start port B” corresponds to the first start port B12, and the “second start port” corresponds to the second start port. Corresponding to the mouth 69, the “win / fail determination means” corresponds to the pass / fail determination process (S50), the “first special symbol display device” corresponds to the first special symbol display device 9, and the “second special symbol display”. The “device” corresponds to the second special symbol display device 10, the “variation time determining means” corresponds to the “effect display means”, the sub-integrated control device 83 corresponds, and the “big hit game execution means” Corresponds to special game processing, “small hit game execution means” corresponds to small hit game processing, “probability change means” corresponds to probability change function, “open extension means” corresponds to open extension function. The “first game area” corresponds to the left game area L, the “second game area” corresponds to the right game area R, State "corresponds to a second specific state.

In the present embodiment, it is determined when the success / failure determination of the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit based on the number of times of the special symbol's success / failure determination after transitioning to the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state). The variation time of the first special symbol is different, but another configuration may be used.
For example, the variation time determined when the big hit is a normal big hit rather than the fluctuation time determined when the big special is determined to be a big hit in the first special state in the first special symbol determination. A longer configuration may be used.
Further, in the first specific state, when the first special symbol is determined to be a big hit, the variation time determined when it is a normal big hit is the longest of the variation times determined by the pachinko machine 50. May be. In that case, the following effects can be performed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 based on the longest variation time. For example, as in the case of a promising big hit, the battle effect between the production characters is performed on the screen of the production symbol display device 6 and the result of the battle is displayed to inform the player of the content of the big hit. Unlike the case of a promising big hit, after notifying the contents of the big hit, the remaining fluctuation time is used as a bonus period, and an effect is given to notify that it is possible to generate a small hit game and increase the number of winning balls It is good also as a structure. As a result, it is possible to alleviate the disappointment of having been a big hit even though it has been decided that the big hit has been made.

  In this embodiment, when shifting to the high-probability gaming state after the big hit game is over, 10,000 is set in the probability variation number setting process (S870) of FIG. In Example 1, the high-probability gaming state is 10,000 times, and the big hit is to continue substantially until the next time. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and other configurations are possible. Good. For example, when shifting to the high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game, the probability variation number is set to a predetermined number (for example, 100 times), and the number of changes in the special symbol is set without obtaining a winning result in the high probability gaming state. A configuration may be adopted that employs a so-called frequency cut probability changing function in which the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 shifts to a low-probability gaming state when a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) is exceeded.

  In this embodiment, in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extension state), it is determined that the first special symbol is a big hit, and the operation of the open extension function is terminated at the start of the fluctuation of the first special symbol. Then, the small special symbol is displayed in the second special symbol and the small bonus game is frequently generated to shift to a state in which winning of the winning ball is advantageous, but other configurations are also conceivable. . For example, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 50 described above in the present embodiment, a configuration in which a small hit is frequently generated after the conventional big hit game is ended and a transition to a state in which winning of a prize ball is advantageous (see Patent Document 1). A combined configuration may also be used.

  As another configuration, for example, until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) that has transitioned after the end of the big hit game reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times). If the first special symbol is determined to be a big win, the opening extension function is terminated when the big special symbol is confirmed and displayed at the first special symbol, not at the start of the fluctuation of the first special symbol. , After the number of changes of the first special symbol in the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state) that has transitioned after the end of the big hit game reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times), When it is determined that the game is a big hit, the operation of the opening extension function may be terminated when the first special symbol starts to change. By adopting this configuration, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state (high probability gaming state and open extended state), it has been difficult to determine whether the special symbol is a big hit or not. As a privilege for the player, it is possible to shift to a specific state in which small hit games can be frequently generated.
