As a result, the second operating mechanism is operated, and the opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electrically-powered object 18 is opened. The opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 is in a closed state after performing an opening operation based on a predetermined opening pattern.

  Next, as shown in (F), when the opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electrical accessory 18 is opened, the game ball can win the second non-electrical accessory 18. The distribution shutter 195 returns to the first position D1, which is the origin position, when the operation is finished. In (F), it is assumed that one game ball is won in the opened second non-electrical accessory 18. Thereby, as shown to (D), a 2nd closing mechanism act | operates and the opening / closing member 181 of the 2nd non-electrical accessory 18 will be in a closed state.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the opening pattern of the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric Chu 12 and the operation pattern of the sorting shutter 195 will be described. The opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 is the first normal hit when it is determined by the first normal hit determination that the game ball passes through the first symbol operating gate 11. An opening / closing operation related to a normal hit game is performed with an opening pattern according to the type. When a predetermined number (10 in the present embodiment) of game balls wins the first electric chew 12 during one ordinary game, the opening / closing member 121 is open even during the opening / closing operation by each opening pattern. The opening / closing operation is terminated, and the first electric Chu 12 is closed. This predetermined number may be any number other than ten.

  The opening / closing operation of the first electric chew 12 related to the normal hit game is performed in either the first pattern P1 or the second pattern P2. In the first pattern P1, first, the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 is opened until the time TA elapses from the time point T0. In the present embodiment, the time TA is 0.250 seconds. At time T1 when time TA has elapsed from time T0, the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 is closed. Thereafter, the closed state of the opening / closing member 121 continues for about 4 seconds, and when the time T2 is reached, the first opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 is completed. Therefore, one opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 in the first pattern P1 is performed over a time TB from time T0 to time T2. In this embodiment, the time TB is about 4.3 seconds.

  When the first opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 is completed, the second opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 is performed between time T2 and time T4. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 for the second and subsequent times is also constituted by an open state at the time TA and a closed state for about 4 seconds. The opening / closing operation of the first electric chew 12 related to the normal winning game is performed until ten or more game balls win the first electric chew 12 or the opening / closing operation of a predetermined number of times is completed. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that one game ball wins the first electric chew 12 in one opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121. Therefore, in the first pattern P1, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 for about 4.3 seconds is performed up to 10 times. When the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 is performed ten times, the normal winning game in the first pattern P1 is performed from the time T0 to the time T20. In the present embodiment, the time from time T0 to time T20 is about 43.0 seconds.

  On the other hand, in the second pattern P2, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 similar to the first pattern P1 is performed up to five times. The opening / closing operation of the first electric chew 12 in the second pattern P2 is also performed until ten or more game balls win the first electric chew 12 or the opening / closing operation of a predetermined number of times is completed. Also in the second pattern P2, it is assumed that one game ball wins the first electric chew 12 in one opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121. Therefore, in the second pattern P2, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 for about 4.3 seconds is performed up to five times. When the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 is performed five times, the normal winning game in the second pattern P2 is performed from time T0 to time T10. In the present embodiment, the time from time T0 to time T10 is about 21.5 seconds.

  The distribution shutter 195 operates in a predetermined distribution shutter operation pattern. The sorting shutter 195 before starting the operation is disposed at the second position D2. The operation of the sorting shutter 195 according to the sorting shutter operation pattern is started at a time T0 that is the start time of the normal hit game of the first electric Chu 12. In the distribution shutter operation pattern, the distribution shutter 195 moves from the second position D2 and is disposed at the first position D1 until the time TC elapses from the time T0 which is the start time of the normal winning game. In the present embodiment, the time TC is 21.5 seconds. Thereafter, the sorting shutter 195 is disposed at the second position D2. Therefore, in the normal hit game in the first pattern P1, the sorting shutter 195 is in the first half of the first half of the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 from the start time to the end time (from time T0 to time T10). It is arranged at one position D1. In addition, the sorting shutter 195 is disposed at the second position D2 from the start time to the end time of the last five open / close operations of the open / close member 121 (from time T10 to time T20). In the normal hit game in the second pattern P2, the sorting shutter 195 is moved to the first position D1 while the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 is performed up to five times (from time T0 to time T10). Be placed. Further, the distribution shutter 195 returns to the second position D2 simultaneously with the end of the normal winning game in the second pattern P2.

  Therefore, in the first pattern P1, almost all of the game balls that won the first electric chew 12 in the first half of the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 and flowed down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19 are the first flow path. It is guided to 191A and passes through the first passage region 192. When the game ball passes through the first passing area 192, the first operating mechanism is operated, and the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electrically-powered object 17 is opened. Therefore, in the first half of the normal winning game in the first pattern P1, when a game ball wins the first electric chew 12, the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electrically-powered object 17 opens and closes the second non-electrically-charged object 18. The member 181 is more easily opened.

  On the other hand, almost all of the game balls that have won the first electric Chu 12 and flowed down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19 in the second half of the opening / closing operation of the open / close member 121 in the first pattern P1 are the second flow path. It is guided to 191B and passes through the second passage region 193. When the game ball passes through the second passage region 193, the second operation mechanism is operated, and the opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electrically-operated object 18 is opened. Therefore, in the second half of the normal winning game with the first pattern P1, when a game ball wins the first electric chew 12, the opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electrically-powered object 18 opens and closes the first non-electrically-charged object 17. The member 171 is more easily opened.

  In the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 in the second pattern P2, almost all of the game balls winning the first electric chew 12 and flowing down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19 are guided to the first flow path 191A. Passes through the first passage region 192. Therefore, in the normal winning game in the second pattern P2, when a game ball wins the first electric chew 12, the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electrically-powered object 17 is replaced with the opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electrically-charged object 18. More easily opened. Hereinafter, the first pattern P1 and the second pattern P2, which are the opening patterns of the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12, are collectively referred to as an electric chew opening pattern.

  With reference to FIGS. 6-8, an example of the flow of the jackpot game in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. The first symbol operating gate 11 is a first normal symbol operating gate. The big hit game of the pachinko machine 1 is started when the first normal hit game is started. FIGS. 6 to 8 show a case in which the game is started by left-handed and the first normal hit determination is determined by the first normal hit determination when the game ball passes through the first symbol operation gate 11 The time chart of the production | generation performed on the basic operation | movement of each electric Chu and the display screen 28 is shown.

  In the present embodiment, when the game ball passes through the first symbol operating gate 11, the first normal hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability of being determined to be winning by the first ordinary hit determination (hereinafter referred to as “first ordinary hit probability”) is about 1/60. The first normal hit probability is not limited to about 1/60, and may be a probability lower than 1/60 or a high probability. Hereinafter, the determination of winning as the first normal winning determination is also referred to as “first normal winning”. In the present embodiment, for a game ball that has passed through the first symbol operation gate 11, the number that can hold the first normal hit determination and store a random number (maximum first reserved ball number) is “4”. It is. In the first normal hit determination, it is determined based on the first hit random number whether the first normal hit is or is not.

  When the first normal hit determination is performed, the first normal symbol displayed on the first normal symbol display unit of the symbol display unit 24 starts to change. In synchronism with the variation of the first normal symbol, a notification effect for notifying the result of the first normal hit determination is performed by the display screen 28 or the speaker 48. When it is determined by the first normal hit determination that the first normal hit is obtained, a first normal hit game in which the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 is opened is executed. The first electric Chu 12 is opened after the first normal symbol indicating the first normal win is confirmed and displayed. When a game ball wins the opened first electric chew 12, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of game balls won. In order to make the first electric chew 12 win a game ball, the player advances the subsequent game by right-handing.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which the first normal winning game in the first pattern P1 is executed. In each of the opening / closing operations of the opening / closing member 121 in the first half, about one game ball wins the opened first electric chew 12. A game ball that has won the first electric Chu 12 flows down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19, is guided to the first flow path 191 </ b> A, and passes through the first passage region 192. When the game ball passes through the first passage region 192, the opening / closing member 171 of the first non-electrically-powered accessory 17 is opened. When two game balls are awarded to the opened first non-powered accessory 17, the opening / closing member 171 is closed by the operation of the first closing mechanism. As described above, one opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 in the first pattern P1 and the second pattern P2 is performed over time TB. At time TB, after the first electric chew 12 is released, one game ball is won in the first electric chew 12, the first non-electric accessory 17 is released, and the first non-electric accessory 17 is released. It is provided in consideration of the time until the first non-electrical accessory 17 is closed by winning two game balls. In the present embodiment, when one game ball is won in each of the first electric chew 12 and the first non-electric accessory 17, 15 prize balls are paid out. Therefore, approximately 45 (15 × 3 = 45) prize balls are paid out by winning the game balls that accompany the opening of the first electric chew 12 and the opening of the first non-electric player 17 over time TB. . Therefore, approximately 225 (45 × 5 = 225) prize balls are paid out by performing the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 in the first half of the first pattern P1.

  Also in each of the five opening / closing operations of the opening / closing member 121 in the second half of the first normal winning game in the first pattern P1, about one game ball is won in the opened first electric chew 12. The game ball that won the first electric Chu 12 flows down the flow path 191 of the distribution flow path 19, is guided to the second flow path 191 </ b> B, and passes through the second passage region 193. When the game ball passes through the second passage area 193, the opening / closing member 181 of the second non-electrically-powered article 18 is opened. When two game balls win a prize in the opened second non-electrical accessory 18, the opening / closing member 181 is closed by the operation of the second closing mechanism. During the time TB, after the first electric chew 12 is released, one game ball is won in the first electric chew 12, the second non-electrical accessory 18 is released, and the second non-electrical accessory is released. The time until the second non-electrically-powered object 18 is closed by winning two game balls in 18 is also provided. In the present embodiment, when one game ball is won in the second non-electrical accessory 18, 15 prize balls are paid out. Therefore, about 45 (15 × 3 = 45) prize balls are paid out by winning the game balls that accompany the opening of the first electric chew 12 and the opening of the second non-electrical player 18 over time TB. . Therefore, approximately 225 (45 × 5 = 225) prize balls are paid out by performing the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 in the latter half of the first pattern P1. Therefore, when the first normal winning game is performed in the first pattern P1, about 450 (225 × 2 = 450) prize balls are paid out.

  Although not shown, when the first normal winning game is performed in the above-described second pattern P2, the opening of the first electric chew 12 and the first non-electrical accessory 17 similar to the first half of the first pattern P1 are performed. Since the opening is performed, about 225 (45 × 5 = 225) prize balls are paid out.

  In the present embodiment, a “story bonus” effect is performed during the execution of the first normal winning game. The story bonus production is composed of a “first half story” production and a “second half story” production. The first-half story effect is performed by displaying a predetermined image on the display screen 28 while the opening / closing member 121 is opened and closed five times in the first half of the first pattern P1. In the latter half story production, while the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 is performed five times in the second half of the first pattern P1, a predetermined video of a content further developed from the video content displayed on the display screen 28 in the first half story is displayed. Is done. When the first normal winning game is played in the second pattern P2, only the first half story effect is performed. The story bonus effect is performed after the end of the notification effect for notifying that the determination result by the first normal hit determination is the first normal hit. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game per first ordinary game while expecting the story bonus production to develop from the first half story production to the second half story production.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of interlocking of the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 after the first ordinary winning game in the first pattern P1 is completed. The 1st non-electric-powered accessory 17 opened | released with the 1st normal winning game in the 1st pattern P1 and the 2nd pattern P2 is an operating port of a 2nd normal symbol. When a game ball wins the first non-electrical accessory 17, a second normal hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability of being determined to be winning by the second ordinary hit determination (hereinafter referred to as “second ordinary hit probability”) is 100%. Hereinafter, the determination of winning as the second normal hit determination is also referred to as “second normal hit”. The second ordinary hit probability may not be 100% but may be less than 100%.

  When it is determined that the winning is determined by the second normal hit determination, a second normal hit game in which the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13 is opened is executed. The second electric chew 13 is opened after the second ordinary symbol indicating the second ordinary winning is confirmed and displayed. When a game ball wins the opened second electric chew 13, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of game balls won. Once opened, the second electric chew 13 is closed when a predetermined opening time (hereinafter referred to as “second opening time”) and a winning of four game balls are satisfied. .

  After the end of the first normal hit game, the second normal hit determination is performed for the second held ball stored in the first (first) ball. In the second normal hit determination, it is determined based on the second hit random number whether the second normal hit or not. When the second reserved ball number is “3”, the variation time of the second ordinary symbol is 4 seconds, and when the second reserved ball number is “2” or less, the variation time of the second ordinary symbol is 10 seconds. is there. Therefore, after the first normal winning game is finished, the first second normal symbol is changed for 4 seconds, and then the second electric chew 13 is released once, so that the second normal winning game is played. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that four game balls win the second electric chew 13 in one second ordinary game. Note that the second ordinary symbol does not change during the second ordinary winning game.

  The second electric chew 13 is an operating port for the third normal symbol. When a game ball enters the second electric Chu 13, a third normal hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability that the winning is determined by the third ordinary hit determination (hereinafter referred to as “third ordinary hit probability”) is 100%. Hereinafter, the determination of winning by the third ordinary hit determination is also referred to as “third ordinary hit”. Note that the third normal hit probability may not be 100% but may be less than 100%.

  If it is determined that the winning is determined by the third normal hit determination, a third normal hit game in which the opening / closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14 is opened is executed. The third electric chew 14 is opened after the third normal symbol indicating the third normal win is confirmed and displayed. When a game ball wins the opened third electric Chu 14, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of game balls won. Once opened, the third electric Chu 14 is closed when a predetermined opening time (hereinafter referred to as “third opening time”) and a winning condition of seven game balls are satisfied. . In the present embodiment, the number (maximum third reserved ball number) that can hold the third normal hit determination and store a random number for the game ball won in the second electric chew 13 is “4”. It is. Since up to four game balls can be won to the second electric chew 13, the third normal hit determination is performed four times at maximum, and the third normal hit game is also performed four times at maximum.

  After the end of the first second normal winning game, the third normal winning determination is performed for the third held ball stored in the first (first) ball. In the third ordinary hit determination, it is determined based on a third random number whether the third ordinary hit or not. In addition, the third ordinary symbol starts to change. If it is determined that the third ordinary winning is determined in the first third ordinary winning determination, the third electric chew 14 is released as the third ordinary winning game after the third ordinary symbol is changed. Next, a third normal hit determination is performed for the second stored ball stored in the second ball. If it is determined that the third ordinary hit is determined in the second third ordinary hit determination, the third electric chew 14 is released as a third ordinary hit game. Hereinafter, until the third reserved ball count becomes “0”, the variation of the third ordinary symbol and the third ordinary winning game are repeated up to four times. Hereinafter, a maximum of four games per third ordinary game executed for each of the four game balls won in the second electric chew 13 will be referred to as “a series of games per third ordinary game” hereinafter.

  In this embodiment, the second ordinary symbol, the third ordinary symbol variation time, and the third opening time are adjusted so that one series of third ordinary winning games is performed during the second ordinary symbol variation. ing. For this reason, after the series of third ordinary winning games is completed, the variation of the second ordinary symbol is ended, and the second ordinary winning game is performed. Thereafter, the second ordinary winning game and the series of third ordinary winning games are repeated up to four times until the second reserved ball number becomes “0”.

  In the present embodiment, the “ending bonus” effect is performed while the second ordinary winning game and the series of third ordinary winning games are repeated up to four times. The ending bonus effect is performed by displaying a predetermined video showing the ending of the story progressed by the story bonus effect on the display screen 28. The ending bonus effect is executed when the first normal winning game is performed in either the first pattern P1 or the second pattern P2.

  It should be noted that the second non-electrical accessory 18 opened to the second half of the first normal winning game of the first pattern P1 is an operating port of the fourth normal symbol. When a game ball wins the second non-electrical accessory 18, a fourth normal hit determination is performed. In the fourth normal hit determination, it is determined based on the fourth hit random number whether the fourth normal hit or not. In the present embodiment, the probability that the winning is determined by the fourth ordinary hit determination (hereinafter referred to as “fourth ordinary hit probability”) is 70%. Hereinafter, the determination of winning by the fourth ordinary hit determination is also referred to as “fourth ordinary hit”. The fourth ordinary hit probability may not be 70%, and may be higher or lower than 70%. For example, the fourth ordinary hit probability may be set to 100%.

  If it is determined that the winning is determined by the fourth normal hit determination, a fourth normal hit game is executed in which the opening / closing member 151 of the fourth electric chew 15 is opened. The variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol that informs that the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is the fourth ordinary hit is the time during which the second ordinary hit game and the series of third ordinary hit games are repeated four times. It is set corresponding to the time. The variation of the fourth ordinary symbol that informs that the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is the fourth ordinary hit is hereinafter referred to as “hit variation”. The variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol that notifies that the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is out of place is set to a time shorter than the hit variation. Hereinafter, the variation of the fourth normal symbol that informs that the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is out of order is referred to as “out-of-range variation”. In the present embodiment, the number (maximum fourth reserved ball number) that can hold the fourth ordinary hit determination and store a random number for the game ball won in the second non-electrical accessory 18 is “ 4 ". Therefore, the fourth ordinary hit determination is performed four times at the maximum, and the fourth ordinary hit game is also performed four times at the maximum. FIG. 7 shows a case where the first fluctuation is a deviation fluctuation and the second fluctuation is a hit fluctuation among the fluctuations of the fourth ordinary symbol performed up to four times according to the execution of the fourth ordinary hit determination. Yes.

  In the present embodiment, the variation time of the second ordinary symbol is set shorter than the variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol. Therefore, when both the second ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol start to change immediately after the first ordinary winning game, the variation of the second ordinary symbol ends before the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol. In the present embodiment, when any electric chew is open, the fluctuation times of the first to fourth normal symbols are not measured. When the variation of the second ordinary symbol is completed, the second electric chew 13 is released as a second ordinary winning game. When a game ball wins the opened second electric chew 13, a series of third normal games are played. Therefore, while the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 are released in the second ordinary winning game and the third ordinary winning game, the changing fourth ordinary symbol continues to change. For this reason, after the completion of the first normal winning game, the second normal winning game is given priority over the fourth normal winning game. In other words, if a game ball is won in both the first non-electrical accessory 17 and the second non-electrical accessory 18 during the first normal winning game, after the first normal winning game is over, The opening is stocked, and the second electric chew 13 is opened before the fourth electric chew 15.

  FIG. 8 is performed by winning a game ball in the fourth electric Chu 15 during the fourth ordinary winning game after the first ordinary winning game in the first pattern P1 is finished and the ending bonus effect is performed. An example of interlocking of the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 will be shown. In the present embodiment, in addition to the first non-electric accessory 17, the fourth electric chew 15 is also an operating port for the second normal symbol. For this reason, when a game ball wins the fourth electric Chu 15, a second normal hit determination is performed. If it is determined that the winning is based on the second normal hit determination, a second normal hit game in which the second electric chew 13 is opened is executed. When a game ball wins the second electric Chu 13 in the second normal winning game, the third normal winning determination is performed. When it is determined that the third ordinary hit is determined by the third ordinary hit determination, a third ordinary hit game in which the third electric chew 14 is opened is executed. The third ordinary game is played as a series of third ordinary games. For this reason, every time it is determined that the fourth normal hit is made by the fourth normal hit, the second normal hit game and the series of third normal hit games are repeated up to four times.

  In the present embodiment, the “Battle Bonus” effect is performed while the second ordinary winning game and the series of third ordinary winning games are repeated up to four times, triggered by the execution of the fourth ordinary winning game. The battle bonus effect is an effect in which an ally character and an enemy character appear and fight each other. If it is determined that the fourth ordinary hit is determined by the fourth ordinary hit determination, the ally character wins, and the second ordinary hit game and the series of third ordinary hit games are repeated up to four times. If it is determined that the fourth ordinary hit is out of play, the ally character loses, and if the fourth reserved ball number is not “0”, the next battle is performed. When the number of the fourth reserved balls becomes “0” and the repetition of the second ordinary winning game and the series of third ordinary winning games is finished, the big hit game is finished. As the jackpot game ends, the player returns the firing strength of the game ball from right-handed to left-handed.

  As described above, when a game ball is won in both the first non-electrical accessory 17 and the second non-electrical accessory 18 during the first normal winning game, first, the second electric winning portion 13 is opened. A game is performed, and a series of third normal games are performed accordingly. The variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol is set corresponding to the time during which the second ordinary game and the series of third ordinary games are repeated four times. Therefore, after the second ordinary hit determination is performed four times at maximum and the second reserved ball count becomes “0”, the fourth ordinary hit game in which the fourth electric Chu 15 is released is performed. When a game ball wins the opened fourth electric Chu 15, up to four second reserved balls are stored again. As described above, when the first ordinary winning game is performed in the first pattern P1, first, the second ordinary winning game and the series of third ordinary winning games are repeated up to four times together with the ending bonus effect. Thereafter, together with the battle bonus effect, one release of the fourth electric Chu 15 and a repetition of a maximum of four games per second ordinary game and a series of third ordinary games are performed.

  When the first normal winning game is performed in the second pattern P2, the second non-electrical accessory 18 is not substantially released during the first normal winning game. The number of game balls that win the second non-electrical accessory 18 is also substantially zero. In this case, even if a jackpot game is played, the fourth reserved ball number remains “0”, so the fourth normal hit determination is not performed during the jackpot game. For this reason, if the fourth reserved ball number remains “0” during the jackpot game, the jackpot game ends with the end of the ending bonus effect. In other words, when the first normal winning game is performed in the first pattern P1, the battle bonus effect is performed after the end of the ending bonus effect, and the second normal winning number of times according to the result of the fourth normal winning determination. After the game and the series of third normal hit games are repeated, the big hit game ends. When the first normal winning game is performed in the second pattern P2, the battle bonus effect is not performed after the ending bonus effect ends, and the jackpot game ends with the end of the ending bonus effect.

  With reference to FIG.9 and FIG.10, the pattern of the jackpot game of the pachinko machine 1 is demonstrated in detail. As described above, the big hit game of the pachinko machine 1 is started when the first normal hit game is started. During the jackpot game, the game progresses with a right hand hit. Further, the flow of the subsequent jackpot game varies depending on the content of the first bonus game.

  When it is determined that the first normal hit is determined by the first normal hit determination, either the first pattern P1 or the second pattern P2 is determined as the electric chew release pattern in the first normal hit game. In the present embodiment, the ratio at which the first pattern P1 is determined is 33%, and the ratio at which the second pattern P2 is determined is 67%. A story bonus effect is executed during the first normal game. Regardless of which of the first pattern P1 and the second pattern P2 is determined, the first half story effect is executed first. In the first half story production, the first electric Chu 12 releases time TA, and about one game ball wins the first electric Chu 12. Along with this, the first non-electrical accessory 17 is opened, and when two game balls are awarded to the opened first non-electrical accessory 17, the first non-electrical accessory 17 is closed. A game related to the interlocking between the first electric chew 12 and the first non-electrical accessory 17 is hereinafter referred to as a first block B1. In the first half story production, the first block B1 is repeated five times.

  When the first pattern P1 is determined as the electric chew release pattern for the first normal game, the first half story production ends and the second half story production develops. In the latter half story production, in the first half story production, the first electric Chu 12 releases the time TA, and about one game ball wins the first electric Chu 12. Along with this, the second non-electrical accessory 18 is opened, and when two game balls are won in the opened second non-electrical accessory 18, the second non-electrical accessory 18 is closed. The game related to the interlocking between the first electric chew 12 and the second non-electrical accessory 18 is hereinafter referred to as a second block B2. In the latter half story production, the second block B2 is repeated five times. When the latter half story production ends, the process shifts to an ending bonus production. The jackpot game pattern in which both the first half story production and the second half story production are performed during the first normal hit game in response to the determination of the first pattern P1 as the electric chew release pattern. Also called.

  On the other hand, when the first pattern P1 is determined as the electric chew release pattern of the first normal game, after the first half story effect is finished, the process shifts to the ending bonus effect without developing into the second half story effect. In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls to be paid out when one game ball is won in the first non-electrical accessory 17 and the prize is paid out when one game ball is won in the second non-electrical accessory 18. The number of winning balls is 15 in all cases and is the same. Therefore, when the first normal winning game is performed in the first pattern P1, the number of prize balls to be paid out in the first normal winning game is the first normal amount in the case where the first normal winning game is performed in the second pattern P2. The number of prize balls to be paid out in the hit game is about twice. A jackpot game pattern in which only the first half story production is performed during the first normal winning game in response to the determination of the second pattern P2 as the electric chew release pattern is also referred to as a “non-developed pattern” below.

  FIG. 7 shows the progress of the jackpot game after the ending bonus effect. In both of the developed pattern and the non-developed pattern, when the story bonus effect is finished, the process proceeds to the ending bonus effect. Immediately after the transition to the ending bonus effect, the number of the second reserved balls is “4” at the maximum due to the winning of the game ball to the first non-electrical accessory 17 in the first half of the story bonus effect. For this reason, the second normal winning game and the series of third normal winning games are repeated a maximum of four times in response to the second normal hit determination being sequentially performed based on the second reserved ball after the end of the story bonus presentation. Done. The game related to the interlocking of the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 relating to the second normal winning game and the series of third normal winning games is hereinafter referred to as a third block B3.

  Next, in the case of the development pattern, the fourth reserved ball number is maximized at the end of the first normal game because the game ball is won in the second non-electrical accessory 18 in the second half of the story bonus production. The number is “4”. Therefore, after the end of the first ordinary game, the fourth ordinary hit determination is performed based on the fourth reserved ball, and when the fourth ordinary hit determination result is obtained, the fourth ordinary hit game is ended after the end of the ending bonus. Is done. When a fourth normal winning game is performed by opening the fourth electric chew 15, a game ball may win the opened fourth electric chew 15. As described above, the fourth electric Chu 15 is a working port for the second normal symbol. Along with the fourth ordinary game, the maximum number of second reserved balls is “4”. For this reason, the second ordinary hit game and the series of third ordinary hit games (the first ordinary game) (the first ordinary win game) according to the fact that the second ordinary hit determination is sequentially performed based on the second holding ball after the end of one fourth ordinary hit game. The game of 3 blocks B3) is repeated a maximum of 4 times. A battle bonus effect is performed during the first fourth normal game and the third block B3 game.

  As described above, the fourth ordinary hit probability in the fourth ordinary hit determination is 70%. For this reason, when the fourth reserved ball number reaches the maximum fourth reserved ball number “4” in the first ordinary hit game, the fourth ordinary hit determination based on these fourth reserved balls, It is determined that there is a fourth normal hit a maximum of four times. According to the number of times determined to be the fourth ordinary hit by the fourth ordinary hit determination, one fourth ordinary hit game and the third block B3 game are performed. A battle bonus effect is performed each time a fourth ordinary game and a third block B3 game are performed. As the number of times of the battle bonus effect continues, the number of prize balls to be paid out in the jackpot game increases. Therefore, the player can advance the jackpot game while paying attention to how many times the battle bonus effect is continuously performed. When it is determined that all of the fourth ordinary hits based on the four fourth reserved balls are the fourth ordinary hits, the fourth battle bonus effect is performed as a special effect such as a “complete bonus” effect. The complete bonus effect is an effect congratulating that the number of prize balls to be paid out to the player in the jackpot game is the maximum level. The jackpot game ends when all battle bonus effects are completed.

  As described above, the battle bonus effect is continuously performed according to the number of times determined to be the fourth normal hit by the fourth normal hit determination. The fourth holding ball is stored in the first normal hit game. In the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 uses the fourth ordinary random number associated with the fourth reserved ball as the fourth ordinary random number at the time of obtaining the fourth ordinary random number, which is the stage prior to the actual fourth ordinary hit determination. A so-called look-ahead is performed, which refers to information about whether or not the value indicates a normal hit. In this case, the pachinko machine 1 can change the contents of the latter half story effect and the ending bonus effect of the story bonus effect according to the result of prefetching. The result of the look-ahead is whether the fourth random number per fourth ordinary ball is a value indicating that the fourth ordinary ball is a fourth ordinary ball, or the fourth ordinary ball indicating that the fourth ordinary ball is a fourth ordinary ball The number of hit random numbers. In the present embodiment, the fourth ordinary random number is pre-read when the fourth ordinary random number is acquired. In addition, the fourth ordinary winning determination is actually performed during the first ordinary winning game, during the ending bonus effect, etc. Prefetching may be performed at an earlier stage.

  On the other hand, in the case of the non-developed pattern, the second half of the story bonus directing is not performed, so that the game ball is not won in the second non-electrical power 18 during the first normal game, and the fourth number of held balls Is “0”. For this reason, the fourth ordinary hit determination is not performed after the first ordinary hit game ends. Therefore, after the end of the ending bonus, the fourth normal winning game is not performed, and the game of the third block B3 is not newly started. Therefore, the jackpot game ends with the end of the ending bonus effect. After the jackpot game ends, the game proceeds with a left-hand hit.

  In this way, the jackpot game is largely branched according to the two patterns of the developed pattern and the non-developed pattern. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can advance the jackpot game to the player while expecting the production contents to develop from the first half story production to the second half story production during the story bonus production. In addition, when the production contents develop from the first half story production to the second half story production, it is possible to make the player expect how many times the battle bonus production will be performed. When the number of continuous executions of the battle bonus effect is the maximum, the player can be given a sense of superiority by executing the complete bonus effect. On the other hand, even if the story bonus production does not evolve from the first half story production to the second half story production, the prize ball associated with the first block B1 game in the first half story production and the second block B2 game in the ending bonus production Accompanied prize balls are paid out to the player. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can continue the game while expecting the player who plays the jackpot game of the non-developed pattern to expect the jackpot game to be played next time.

  The power supply board 42 is connected to the main board 41 and the game ball launching device 37, and supplies DC stabilized power to each board and the game ball launching device 37. The game ball launching device 37 launches one game ball to the game area 4 at regular intervals (0.6 seconds in the present embodiment).

  With reference to FIG. 12, the first ordinary hit relation information storage area of the RAM 52 will be described. The first normal hit relation information storage area is used in a first normal symbol process (see FIG. 16) of the main process described later. A plurality of storage areas are provided in the first normal hit relation information storage area. In the present embodiment, four storage areas corresponding to the maximum number of first reserved balls are provided in the first ordinary hit relation information storage area. When the game ball passes through the first symbol operation gate 11, if the first retention ball number by passing the game ball to the first symbol operation gate 11 is less than 4 (0 to 3), Random numbers are stored in order from the storage area with the smallest number.

  The first reserved ball number is the number of random numbers stored in a state in which the execution of the first normal hit determination is held among the random numbers corresponding to the game balls that have passed through the first symbol operation gate 11. The CPU 51 uses the storage area with the smallest number among the random numbers in the storage area that has not yet been processed as a determination area, and performs various processes such as a first normal hit determination on the random number stored in the determination area. When the process related to the random number stored in the determination area is completed, the storage area with the next smallest number is set as the determination area, and the processes such as the first normal hit determination are repeated. The process related to the random number stored in the determination area is, for example, a notification effect for informing the determination result of the first normal hit determination, and a first normal hit game executed when the determination result is the first normal hit. It is processing. Note that the random number in the storage area for which processing has been completed is appropriately deleted. Various random numbers acquired together with the first ordinary hit random number and stored in the first ordinary hit related information storage area are collectively referred to as a first random number.

  Each storage area has a first random number field in which the value of the first normal winning determination counter is stored, a first symbol determination random number field in which the first normal symbol determination counter is stored, and a first variation pattern determination counter A first variation pattern determination random number column is provided in which the values are stored. When the game ball passes through the first symbol operation gate 11, the value of each random number acquisition counter counted at that time is stored in each column. The first hit random number is used for the first ordinary hit determination. The first symbol determination random number is used to determine the first normal symbol. The first variation pattern determination random number is used to determine a first variation pattern indicating the variation time of the first ordinary symbol displayed on the first ordinary symbol display unit of the symbol display unit 24.

  In the pachinko machine 1, the variation time of the first normal symbol is equal to the effect time of the notification effect informing the player of the result of the first normal hit determination. The sub control board 58 controls the notification effect according to the first variation pattern determined by the main board 41. Specifically, the main board 41 starts the fluctuation of the first normal symbol according to the first fluctuation pattern. The sub-control board 58 starts the variation display of the effect symbols in synchronization with the start of variation of the first normal symbol. When the fluctuation time of the first normal symbol that has started to change ends, the main board 41 displays the changed first normal symbol for a predetermined time (0.8 seconds in the present embodiment). . The sub control board 58 confirms and displays the effect symbol in synchronization with the confirmation display of the first normal symbol. Further, the sub control board 58 executes a notification effect synchronized with the first normal symbol variation pattern not only by the effect symbol but also by the display screen 28, the speaker 48, and the like.

  The RAM 52 includes a second ordinary hit relation information storage area, a third ordinary hit relation information storage area, and a fourth ordinary hit relation information area. The second ordinary hit relation information storage area, the third ordinary hit relation information storage area, and the fourth ordinary hit relation information storage area are configured in the same manner as the first ordinary hit relation information storage area. In the present embodiment, the variation time of the second ordinary symbol, the variation time of the third ordinary symbol, and the fourth ordinary symbol are each set to a fixed time. In such a case, in the second ordinary hit relation information storage area, the third ordinary hit relation information storage area, and the fourth ordinary hit relation information area, the second fluctuation pattern determination random number field, the third fluctuation pattern determination random number field, and The fourth variation pattern determination random number field may not be provided. Acquired together with the second ordinary per random number, the third ordinary per random number, the fourth ordinary per random number, and stored in the second ordinary per related information storage area, the third ordinary per related information storage area, and the fourth ordinary per related information storage area The various random numbers are collectively referred to as a second random number, a third random number, and a fourth random number, respectively.

  In the following description, the first random number, the second random number, the third random number, and the fourth random number are collectively referred to as a random number, or when neither is specified, it is also referred to as a random number.

  The first normal symbol determination table stored in the ROM 53 will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko machine 1 determines the first normal symbol indicating that the result of the first normal hit determination is win by referring to the first normal symbol determination table. In the present embodiment, the first normal symbol includes two types of normal hits, “first normal hit A” and “first normal hit B”. The normal hit type is a normal symbol type indicating that the result of the normal hit determination is a win.

  In the first normal symbol determination table, the value of the first symbol determination random number (0 to 99) is associated with each normal hit type. The ratio of the normal type of the first normal symbol is determined according to the value of the first symbol determination random number. The ratio of the normal hit type is 33% for “first normal hit A” and 67% for “first normal hit B”.

  The first ordinary symbol determination table defines which electric chew release pattern in the first ordinary winning game is to be used according to the normal hit type. The first pattern P1 is associated with the normal hit type “first normal hit A”. The second pattern P2 is associated with the normal hit type “first normal hit B”. Accordingly, when it is determined that the winning is based on the first normal hit determination, and the normal hit type of “first normal hit A” is determined, the first normal hit game is executed in the first pattern P1. If it is determined by the first normal hit determination that the normal hit type of “first normal hit B” is determined, the first normal hit game is executed in the second pattern P2. Therefore, when it is determined that the winning is determined by the first normal winning determination, the fourth normal winning game by the first pattern P1 is performed at a rate of 33%, and the fourth normal winning game by the second pattern P2 is performed at a rate of 67%. , Respectively. Note that the ratio of “first ordinary per A” and “first ordinary per B” can be arbitrarily changed.

  Although not shown, the ROM 53 stores second to fourth normal symbol determination tables. The pachinko machine 1 determines the second to fourth ordinary symbols indicating that the results of the second to fourth ordinary winning determinations are winning by referring to the second to fourth ordinary symbol determining tables.

  The first variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 53 will be described with reference to FIG. The first variation pattern determination table is provided with a plurality of tables according to the determination result (first normal hit or deviation) by the first normal hit determination. Each table is associated with the value of the first variation pattern determination random number (0 to 511) and the variation time of the first normal symbol (the variation time of the notification effect). When the first normal hit determination is performed, a table corresponding to the determination result is referred to, and one fluctuation pattern corresponding to the value of the first fluctuation pattern determination random number acquired together with the first hit random number is determined.

  When the determination result by the first normal hit determination is the first normal hit, “normal reach”, “reach effect A”, “reach effect B”, “reach effect C”, “reach effect D”, “reach effect” The ratio at which the variation pattern is determined increases in the order of “E”. On the other hand, if the determination result by the first normal hit determination is out of place, “normal reach”, “reach effect A”, “reach effect B”, “reach effect C”, “reach effect D”, “reach effect E” In this order, the rate at which the variation pattern is determined decreases. Therefore, the expected values for which the determination result by the first ordinary hit determination is the first ordinary hit are “normal reach”, “reach effect A”, “reach effect B”, “reach effect C”, “reach effect D”, “ It becomes higher in the order of “reach production E”. The reach effect is a notification effect that executes an effect indicating that the determination result may be a first normal hit after the effect symbol constitutes a predetermined reach state. In the present embodiment, the first fluctuation pattern of “non-reach” corresponds to a notification effect in which the effect symbol is confirmed and displayed in a combination indicating the determination result of losing without reaching the reach state. In the present embodiment, the “non-reach” variation pattern is determined only when the determination result by the first normal hit determination is out of place.

  The main board 41 generates a fluctuation pattern designation command that is a command for designating the decided fluctuation pattern, and transmits the generated fluctuation pattern designation command to the sub-control board 58. The sub-control board 58 executes the notification effect by controlling the display screen 28, the speaker 48, and the like according to the variation pattern specified by the command. Note that the effect design may not be used for the notification effect. Moreover, the main board | substrate 41 fluctuates a 1st normal symbol only for the fluctuation | variation time determined according to the determined fluctuation | variation pattern.

  The operation of the main board 41 of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The main control of the pachinko machine 1 is performed by a control program stored in the ROM 53. The main process of the control program (see FIG. 15) is executed by the CPU 51 when the CPU 51 senses an interrupt signal generated every 4 ms by the interrupt signal generation circuit 57 (see FIG. 11). Hereinafter, each step of the flowchart is abbreviated as “S”.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the main process is started, a command output process is first performed (S10). In the command output process, a control command is output to the sub control board 58, the payout control board 45, the relay board 47, and the like. The control command output here is a control command stored in the RAM 52 in the main process executed last time.

  Next, a switch reading process is performed (S11). In the switch reading process, the first symbol operating gate 11, the first electric chew 12, the second electric chew 13, the third electric chew 14, the fourth electric chew 15, the first non-electrical accessory 17, the second non-electrical accessory A process for detecting a game ball is performed from the detection result of each switch (see FIG. 11) provided in FIG.

  Next, a counter update process is performed (S12). In the counter update process, the values of the random number acquisition counter stored in the RAM 52 are added, and the first to fourth normal symbol variation times are timer counters for measuring the variation times of the first to fourth ordinary symbols. The counter value is subtracted.

  Next, a first ordinary electric accessory process is performed (S13). Although details will be described later, in the first ordinary electric accessory processing, when the first ordinary symbol indicating the first ordinary winning is displayed on the symbol display unit 24, the operation of the first ordinary winning game (mainly the first electric Processing for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 of the chew 12 is performed (see FIG. 17).

  Next, a first normal symbol process is performed (S14). Although details will be described later, in the first normal symbol processing, processing such as determination of the first normal hit and determination of the first variation pattern are performed (see FIG. 16).

  Next, the second ordinary electric accessory processing is performed (S15). Although the details will be described later, in the second ordinary electric accessory processing, when the second ordinary symbol indicating the second ordinary winning is displayed on the symbol display unit 24, the operation of the second ordinary winning game (mainly the second electrifying game). Processing for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 131 of the chew 13 is performed (see FIG. 19).

  Next, the second normal symbol process is performed (S16). Although details will be described later, in the second normal symbol processing, processing such as second normal hit determination is performed (see FIG. 18).

  Next, a third ordinary electric accessory process is performed (S17). Although the details will be described later, in the third ordinary electric equipment processing, when the third ordinary symbol indicating the third ordinary winning is displayed on the symbol display unit 24, the operation of the third ordinary winning game (mainly the third Processing for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 141 of the chew 14 is performed (see FIG. 21).

  Next, a third normal symbol process is performed (S18). Although details will be described later, in the third normal symbol processing, processing such as third normal hit determination is performed (see FIG. 20).

  Next, a fourth ordinary electric accessory process is performed (S19). Although the details will be described later, in the fourth ordinary electric equipment processing, when the fourth ordinary symbol indicating the fourth ordinary winning is displayed on the symbol display unit 24, the operation of the fourth ordinary winning game (mainly the fourth Processing for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 151 of the chew 15 is performed (see FIG. 23).

  Next, a fourth normal symbol process is performed (S20). Although details will be described later, in the fourth ordinary symbol process, a process such as a fourth ordinary hit determination is performed (see FIG. 22).

  Next, a payout process (S21), an error check (S22), and an information output process (S23) are performed. In the payout process, payout of prize balls is controlled. In the error check, when an error has occurred, the error is notified using the display screen 28, the speaker 48, and the like. In the information output process, various types of information are output to a game hall management computer (not shown).

  The flags used in the main process will be described. The RAM 52 has a jackpot gaming state flag, a first operation end flag, a first variation flag, a second variation flag, a third variation flag, a fourth variation flag, a first release flag, a second release flag, a third release flag, a first Four open flags and the like are stored. The jackpot game state flag is “ON” when “1” is stored during the jackpot game, and “0” is stored and “OFF” when the jackpot game is not being played. The first operation end flag stores “1” and becomes “ON” when the opening of the first electric Chu 12 by the first normal hit (first normal hit game) is ended, and the first normal hit game Is not completed, “0” is stored and “OFF” is set. The first opening flag is “ON” when “1” is stored while the first electric chew 12 is open, and “OFF” is stored when the first electric chew 12 is closed. The second opening flag is “ON” when “1” is stored while the second electric chew 13 is opened, and “0” is stored and “OFF” while the second electric chewing 13 is closed. The third open flag is “ON” when “1” is stored while the third electric chew 14 is open, and is “OFF” when “0” is stored while the third electric chew 14 is closed. The fourth open flag stores “1” when the fourth electric chew 15 is opened and becomes “ON”, and “0” is memorized while the fourth electric chew 15 is closed and becomes “OFF”.

  Details of the first normal symbol process (see S14 and FIG. 15) will be described with reference to FIG. When the first normal symbol process is started, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the first symbol operation gate 11 (S31). When the first symbol actuating gate switch 61 provided in the first symbol actuating gate 11 detects the passage of the game ball, it corresponds to the first symbol actuating gate switch 61 in the main process switch reading process (see S11, FIG. 15) Flag to be “ON”. If this flag is not “ON”, it is determined that the game ball has not passed (S31: NO), and the process proceeds to the determination of S41. If the flag is “ON” and a game ball has passed through the first symbol operation gate 11 (S31: YES), it is determined whether or not the first reserved ball number is “4” (S32). . If the first reserved ball number is “4” (S32: YES), the process proceeds to the determination of S41 because the first reserved ball number has reached the maximum first reserved ball number.

  When the first reserved ball number is not “4” (S32: NO), “1” is added to the first reserved ball number stored in the RAM 52 (S33). Next, the first normal random number and the first variation pattern determination random number are acquired as the first reserved random number, and the storage area having the smallest number among the empty storage areas in the first normal hit relation information storage area (see FIG. 12). (S35). Specifically, the value of the first ordinary hit determination counter is stored in the first ordinary random number column, and the value of the first variation pattern determining counter is stored in the first variation pattern determining random number column. As the first reserved random number, other types of random numbers such as a first normal symbol determination random number used for determining the first normal symbol may be included. The process proceeds to S41.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric Chus are closed (S41). If any of the first to fourth open flags is “ON”, it is determined that any of the electric Chus is open (S41: NO), and the process returns to the main process. For example, in the case of the first ordinary hit, and then the second ordinary or third ordinary hit, the first electric chew 12, the second electric chew 13, and the third electric chew 14 are released in the jackpot game. It will be. The pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the first to fourth ordinary symbols when any of the electric chews are open, so that the first to fourth ordinary games overlap. I am trying not to break it.

  If any of the first to fourth open flags is “OFF”, it is determined that all electric chews are closed (S41: YES), and whether the first normal symbol is changing (S42). ). If the first variation flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the first ordinary symbol is not varying (S42: NO), and whether or not the first reserved ball number is “1” or more (S43). If the number of first reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is “0” (S43: NO), the process returns to the main process.

  When the number of first reserved balls is “1” or more (S43: YES), “1” is subtracted from the number of first reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 (S45). The determination area of the first normal hit relation information storage area (see FIG. 12) is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S46). Next, a first normal hit determination is performed (S48). The first normal hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the first ordinary hit determination table, random numbers of first random numbers corresponding to “first ordinary hit” and “out of” are defined. With reference to the first normal hit determination table, it is determined whether the first normal hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S46 corresponds to “first normal hit” or “out of line”. Thereby, the first ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined first ordinary hit random numbers stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the first ordinary hit random numbers are stored. In this embodiment, in the first normal hit determination, the first normal hit is determined with a probability of about 1/60.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the result of the first normal hit determination is the first normal hit (S51). If the result of the first normal hit determination is out of order (S51: NO), the process proceeds to S53. When the result of the first normal hit determination is the first normal hit (S51: YES), the first normal hit type of the first normal symbol is determined (S52). In the process of S52, the first normal symbol determination table (see FIG. 13) is referred to, and the first normal symbol corresponding to the value of the first symbol determination random number acquired at the same time as the first per-random number stored in the determination area. The hit type is determined. The determined first normal hit type is stored in the RAM 52. The process proceeds to S53.

  Next, the first variation pattern determination table is referred to, and one of the first variation patterns corresponding to the determination result of the first normal hit determination is determined by the value of the first variation pattern determination random number. A first variation pattern designation command for designating the determined first variation pattern is generated (S53). The generated first variation pattern designation command is stored in the RAM 52. The stored first variation pattern designation command is transmitted to the sub control board 58 and the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process executed next time, and the start of the first notification effect, and Instructs the start of fluctuation of the first normal symbol. The variation time of the first normal symbol determined according to the determined first variation pattern is set in the first normal symbol variation time counter (S55). “1” indicating that the first normal symbol is changing is stored in the first change flag and becomes “ON” (S56), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the first variation flag is “ON” in the determination of S42, the first ordinary symbol is changing (S42: YES), and the first ordinary symbol variation time counter set in the process of S55 is set. 4 ms is subtracted from the value (S61). Next, based on the value of the first ordinary symbol variation time counter, it is determined whether the variation time of the first ordinary symbol has elapsed (S62). If the value of the first normal symbol variation time counter is not “0”, it is assumed that the variation time of the first ordinary symbol has not yet passed (S62: NO), and the variation of the first ordinary symbol is continued, and the process is main. Return to processing. If the value of the first ordinary symbol variation time counter is “0”, the first ordinary symbol stop command is generated (S63) and the RAM 52 is determined that the variation time of the first ordinary symbol has elapsed (S62: YES). Is remembered. This command is transmitted to the sub-control board 58 and the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15), and instructs the end of the first notification effect and the change stop of the first normal symbol. “0” indicating that the first normal symbol is not changing is stored in the first changing flag and becomes “OFF” (S65).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the result of the first hit determination performed in S48 is the first normal hit (S66). When the result of the first normal hit determination is out of order (S66: NO), the process returns to the main process. When the result of the first normal hit determination is the first normal hit (S66: YES), the big hit game state flag is set to “ON” (S68), and the first operation end flag is set to “OFF” (S69). The process returns to the main process.

  With reference to FIG. 17, the details of the first ordinary electric accessory processing (S13, see FIG. 15) will be described. When the first ordinary electric accessory processing is started, it is determined whether or not a jackpot game is being played (S71). If the jackpot game state flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the jackpot game is not being played (S71: NO), and the process returns to the main process. If the jackpot gaming state flag is “ON”, it is determined that the jackpot game is being played (S71: YES), and it is determined whether the first normal winning game has ended (S72). If the first operation end flag is “ON”, it is determined that the first normal winning game is ended (S72: YES), and the process returns to the main process.

  If the first operation end flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the first normal winning game has not ended (S72: NO), and control relating to the first normal winning game is performed. First, it is determined whether the first electric Chu 12 is open (S73). If the first release flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the first electric Chu 12 is closed (S73: NO), and the process proceeds to S91.

  Next, the first normal hit type stored in the RAM 52 is referred to in the process of S52 (see FIG. 16) (S91). It is determined whether the referred first normal hit type is “first normal hit A” (S92). When the referred first normal hit type is “first normal hit A” (S92: YES), a P1 release command is generated (S93). The generated P1 release command is stored in the RAM 52. The P1 opening command is a command for opening / closing the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 in the first pattern P1 shown in FIG. The P1 release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. The first electric Chu solenoid 64 that has received the P1 opening command via the relay board 47 opens and closes the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric Chu 12 with the first pattern P1. The process proceeds to S96.

  When the referred first normal hit type is “first normal hit B” (S92: NO), a P2 release command is generated (S95). The generated P1 release command is stored in the RAM 52. The P2 opening command is a command for opening / closing the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 in the second pattern P2 shown in FIG. The P2 release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. Upon receiving the P2 opening command via the relay board 47, the first electric Chu solenoid 64 opens and closes the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric Chu 12 with the second pattern P2. The process proceeds to S96.

  Next, an electric chew release pattern corresponding to the first normal hit type is stored in the RAM 52 (S96). When the first ordinary hit type is “first ordinary hit A”, the opening time (0.250 second) and the number of opening times (10 times) of the first electric chew 12 corresponding to the first pattern P1. ) Is stored. When the first ordinary hit type is “first ordinary hit B”, the opening time (0.250 seconds) and the number of opening times (5 times) of the first electric chew 12 corresponding to the second pattern P2 are stored. The

  Next, the first release flag is set to “ON” (S98), a sorting shutter operation command is generated (S99), and stored in the RAM 52. The sort shutter operation command is a command for operating the sort shutter 195 in the sort shutter operation pattern shown in FIG. The sorting shutter operation command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. The distribution shutter solenoid 69 that has received the distribution shutter operation command via the relay substrate 47 operates the distribution shutter 195 in the distribution shutter operation pattern. The process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the first open flag is “ON”, the first electric chew 12 is being opened (S73: YES), so the opening of the first electric chew 12 with the electric chew release pattern stored in S96 is completed. It is determined whether it has been done (S75). If the opening of the first electric chew 12 with the electric chew releasing pattern corresponding to the first normal hit type has not ended (S75: NO), it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the first electric chew 12 ( S76). If the flag corresponding to the first electric Chu switch 71 is “OFF”, it is determined that no game ball has won the first electric Chu 12 (S76: NO), and the process is determined in S79. Migrate to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the first electric Chu switch 71 is “ON”, it is determined that a game ball has won the first electric Chu 12 (S76: YES). Therefore, “1” is added to the first winning ball number counter of the RAM 52 that counts the number of first winning balls, which is the number of game balls won to the first electric Chu 12 (S78). Next, it is determined whether or not the number of first winning balls is “10” or more (S79). If the number of first winning balls is less than “10” (S79: NO), the first electric Chu 12 is continuously released, and the process returns to the main process.

  When the number of first winning balls is “10” or more (S79: YES), or when the opening of the first electric chew 12 with the electric chew releasing pattern stored in S96 is completed (S75: YES), the first electric chew A first electric Chu closing command for closing 12 is generated (S81). The generated first electric Chu closing command is stored in the RAM 52 and transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. The first electric chew solenoid 64 that has received the first electric chew opening command via the relay board 47 closes the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12. Next, “0” is stored in the first release flag to be “OFF” (S82), and “1” is stored in the first operation end flag to be “ON” (S83). The process returns to the main process.

  Details of the second normal symbol processing (S16, see FIG. 15) will be described with reference to FIG. When the second normal symbol process is started, it is determined whether or not a game ball is won in the first non-electrical accessory 17 (S101). When the flag corresponding to the first non-electrical accessory switch 76 is “OFF”, it is determined that the game ball has not won the first non-electrical accessory 17 (S101: NO). It is determined whether or not a game ball has won the four electric Chu 15 (S102). When the flag corresponding to the fourth electric Chu switch 74 is “OFF”, it is determined that the game ball has not won the fourth electric Chu 15 (S102: NO), and the process is determined in S111. Migrate to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the first non-electrical accessory switch 76 is “ON”, it is determined that the game ball has won the first non-electrical accessory 17 (S101: YES), and the process is S103. Move on to judgment. If the flag corresponding to the fourth electric Chu 15 is “ON”, it is determined that a game ball has won the fourth electric Chu 15 (S102: YES), and the process proceeds to the determination of S103. . Next, it is determined whether or not the second reserved ball number is “4” (S103). If the second reserved ball number is “4” (S103: YES), the process proceeds to the determination of S111 because the second reserved ball number has reached the maximum second reserved ball number.

  When the second reserved ball number is not “4” (S103: NO), “1” is added to the second reserved ball number stored in the RAM 52 (S106). Next, a second random number is acquired and stored in the storage area with the smallest number among the empty storage areas in the second ordinary hit relation information area (S107). The process proceeds to determination of S111.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric Chus are closed (S111). If at least one of the first to fourth open flags is “ON”, it is determined that any electric chew is open (S111: NO), and the process returns to the main process. In this manner, the pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the second normal symbol while any electric chew is opened.

  On the other hand, if any of the first to fourth open flags is “OFF”, it is determined that all electric chews are closed (S111: YES) and whether the second normal symbol is changing. (S112). If the second fluctuation flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the second ordinary symbol is not fluctuating (S112: NO), and it is determined whether the second reserved ball number is “1” or more (S115). If the number of second reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is “0” (S115: NO), the second normal symbol is not changed, and the process returns to the main process.

  When the number of second reserved balls is “1” or more (S115: YES), “1” is subtracted from the number of first reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 (S121). The determination area of the second ordinary hit relation information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S122). Next, a second normal hit determination is performed (S123). The second ordinary hit determination is performed by referring to the second ordinary hit determination table. The second ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the second ordinary hit determination table, random numbers of the second ordinary hit random numbers respectively corresponding to “second ordinary hit” and “out of” are defined. With reference to the second ordinary hit determination table, it is determined whether the second ordinary hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S122 corresponds to “second ordinary hit” or “out of line”. Thus, the second ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined second ordinary hit random numbers stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the second ordinary hit random numbers are stored. In the present embodiment, in the second ordinary hit determination, the second ordinary hit is determined with a probability of 100%.

  Next, a second ordinary symbol variation start command for starting the variation of the second ordinary symbol is generated (S125) and stored in the RAM 52. The second normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts changing the second ordinary symbol. Then, a predetermined second normal symbol change time (in this embodiment, 4 seconds when the second reserved ball number is “3”, 10 seconds when the second reserved ball number is “2” or less) Is set in the second normal symbol variation time counter (S126). “1” indicating that the second normal symbol is changing is stored in the second change flag and becomes “ON” (S128), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the second variation flag is “ON” in the determination of S112, it is determined that the second ordinary symbol is changing (S112: YES), and the value of the second ordinary symbol variation time counter set in S126 is used. 4 ms is subtracted (S131). Next, based on the value of the second ordinary symbol variation time counter, it is determined whether the variation time of the second ordinary symbol has elapsed (S132). If the value of the second normal symbol variation time counter is not “0”, the variation of the second normal symbol has not yet elapsed (S132: NO), and the variation of the second ordinary symbol is continued, and the processing is continued. Return to processing. If the value of the second ordinary symbol variation time counter is “0”, the second ordinary symbol variation time has elapsed (S132: YES) and the second ordinary symbol variation time is stopped. A symbol stop command is generated (S133) and stored in the RAM 52. The second normal symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output processing (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main processing executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 stops the fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol. Next, “0” indicating that the second normal symbol is not changing is stored in the second change flag and becomes “OFF” (S135).

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the second hit determination performed in S123 is the second normal hit (S136). If the result of the second normal hit determination is out of order (S136: NO), the process returns to the main process. If the result of the second ordinary hit determination is a second ordinary hit (S136: YES), a second electric chew release command for opening the second electric chew 13 is generated (S141) and stored in the RAM 52. The second electric chew release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. The second electric chew solenoid 65 that has received the second electric chew opening command via the relay board 47 opens the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13. Next, the second opening time is stored in the second opening time counter (S142). Next, “1” is stored in the second release flag and turned “ON” (S143), and the process returns to the main process.

  With reference to FIG. 19, the details of the second ordinary electric accessory processing (S15, see FIG. 15) will be described. When the second ordinary electric accessory processing is started, it is determined whether the second electric chew 13 is being opened (S151). If the second opening flag is “OFF”, the second electric chew 13 is closed (S151: NO), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the second release flag is “ON”, the second electric chew 13 is being opened (S151: YES). A process for closing is performed. First, it is determined whether the second opening time has elapsed (S152). If the value of the second opening time counter set in S142 (see FIG. 18) is not “0”, it is determined that the second opening time has not yet passed (S152: NO), and the game ball is sent to the second electric chew 13. It is determined whether or not is won (S153). If the flag corresponding to the second electric Chu switch 72 is “OFF”, it is determined that no game ball has won the second electric Chu 13 (S153: NO), and the process is determined in S156. Migrate to

  If the flag corresponding to the second electric Chu switch 72 is “ON”, it is determined that the game ball has won the second electric Chu 13 (S153: YES). “1” is added to the second winning ball counter of the RAM 52 that counts the number of second winning balls, which is the number of winning game balls (S155). Next, it is determined whether the second winning ball number is “4” or more (S156). If the second winning ball number is less than “4” (S156: NO), the second electric chew 13 is continuously opened, and the process returns to the main process.

  Further, when the second winning ball number is “4” or more (S156: YES), or when the second opening time has elapsed (S152: YES), the second electric chew for closing the second electric chew 13 is closed. A command is generated (S158) and stored in the RAM 52. The second electric Chu closing command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process executed next time. The second electric chew solenoid 65 that has received the second electric chew opening command via the relay board 47 closes the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13. Next, “0” is stored in the second release flag and becomes “OFF” (S159), and the process returns to the main process.

  With reference to FIG. 20, the details of the third normal symbol process (see S18, FIG. 15) will be described. When the third normal symbol process is started, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the second electric chew 13 (S161). When the flag corresponding to the second electric Chu switch 72 is “OFF”, it is determined that no game ball has won the second electric Chu 13 (S161: NO), and the process is determined in S171. Migrate to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is “ON”, it is determined that the game ball has won the second electric chew 13 (S161: YES), and the third reserved ball count is “ 4 ”is determined (S162). If the number of the third reserved balls is “4” (S162: YES), the process proceeds to the determination of S171 because the third number of reserved balls has reached the maximum number of the third reserved balls. When the third reserved ball number is not “4” (S162: NO), “1” is added to the third reserved ball number stored in the RAM 52 (S163). Next, a third random number is acquired and stored in the storage area with the smallest number among the empty storage areas in the third ordinary hit relation information area (S165). The process proceeds to the determination at S171.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric Chus are closed (S171). If at least one of the first to fourth open flags is “ON”, it is determined that any electric chew is open (S171: NO), and the process returns to the main process. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 does not measure the variation time of the third normal symbol while any electric chew is open.

  On the other hand, if any of the first to fourth open flags is “OFF”, it is determined that all electric chews are closed (S171: YES) and whether the third normal symbol is changing. (S172). If the third variation flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the third ordinary symbol is not varying (S172: NO), and it is determined whether the third reserved ball number is “1” or more (S175). When the number of third reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is “1” or more (S175: YES), “1” is subtracted from the number of third reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 (S181). The determination area of the third ordinary hit relation information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S182).

  Next, a third ordinary hit determination is performed (S183). The third ordinary hit determination is performed by referring to the third ordinary hit determination table. The third ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the third ordinary hit determination table, random number values of third ordinary hit random numbers respectively corresponding to “third ordinary hit” and “out of” are defined. With reference to the third ordinary hit determination table, it is determined whether the third ordinary hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S182 corresponds to “third ordinary hit” or “out of line”. As a result, the third ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined third ordinary random numbers stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the third ordinary random numbers are stored. In the present embodiment, in the third ordinary hit determination, the third ordinary hit is determined with a probability of 100%. In the present embodiment, in the third ordinary hit determination, the third ordinary hit is determined with a probability of 100%.

  Next, a third ordinary symbol variation start command for starting the variation of the third ordinary symbol is generated (S185) and stored in the RAM 52. The third normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output processing (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main processing executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts changing the third ordinary symbol. Next, a predetermined variation time of the third ordinary symbol (2 seconds in this embodiment) is set in the third ordinary symbol variation time counter (S186). “1” indicating that the third normal symbol is changing is stored in the third change flag and becomes “ON” (S188), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S172 that the third variation flag is “ON”, it is determined that the third ordinary symbol is changing (S172: YES), and the value of the third ordinary symbol variation time counter set in S186 is used. 4 ms is subtracted (S201). Next, based on the value of the third ordinary symbol variation time counter, it is determined whether the variation time of the third ordinary symbol has elapsed (S202). If the value of the third normal symbol variation time counter is not “0”, it is assumed that the variation time of the third ordinary symbol has not yet passed (S202: NO), the variation of the third ordinary symbol is continued, and the process is the main. Return to processing.

  If the value of the third normal symbol variation time counter is “0”, it is determined that the third ordinary symbol variation time has elapsed (S202: YES), and the third ordinary symbol variation to stop the third ordinary symbol variation. A symbol stop command is generated (S203) and stored in the RAM 52. The third normal symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output processing (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main processing executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 stops the variation of the third ordinary symbol. Next, “0” indicating that the third ordinary symbol is not changing is stored in the third changing flag and becomes “OFF” (S204).

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the third hit determination performed in S183 is the third normal hit (S205). If the result of the third ordinary hit determination is out of order (S205: NO), the process returns to the main process. If the result of the third ordinary hit determination is the third ordinary hit (S205: YES), a third electric chew release command for opening the third electric chew 14 is generated (S206) and stored in the RAM 52. The third electric chew release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. The third electric chew solenoid 66 that has received the third electric chew opening command via the relay board 47 opens the opening / closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14. Next, the third opening time is stored in the third opening time counter (S207). Next, “1” is stored in the third release flag and turned “ON” (S208), and the process returns to the main process.

  Further, in the determination of S175, when the number of third reserved balls is “0” (S175: NO), the third reserved balls that are the targets of the third normal hit determination are not stored, and a series of third held balls are not stored. The normal hit game ends. In this case, in response to the end of a series of third normal winning games, the big hit game may also be ended. In this case, it is necessary to perform a process for ending the big hit game. Therefore, first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game is being played (S191). If the jackpot gaming state flag is “OFF”, the jackpot gaming is not in progress (S191: NO), and the process returns to the main process.

  If the jackpot game state flag is “ON”, it is determined that the jackpot game is being played (S191: YES), and it is determined whether the first normal hit game has ended (S192). If the first operation end flag is “OFF”, the first normal winning game in the jackpot game has not ended (S192: NO), and the process returns to the main process. If the first operation end flag is “ON”, it is determined that the first normal winning game is ended (S192: YES), and whether or not the second reserved ball number is “1” or more (S193). When the number of second reserved balls is “1” or more, there is a second reserved ball for which the second normal hit determination has not yet been performed. That is, here, the series of third normal winning games is ended only once, and the big hit game is not ended. Therefore, when the number of second reserved balls is “1” or more (S193: YES), the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, when the second reserved ball number is “0” (S193: NO), it is determined whether the fourth reserved ball number is “1” or more (S195). When the number of the fourth reserved balls is “1” or more, the fourth ordinary hit game is performed when it is determined that the fourth ordinary hit is determined according to the fourth ordinary hit determination performed later. Accordingly, the second normal winning game and the series of third normal winning games may be repeated. Therefore, when the number of fourth reserved balls is “1” or more (S195: YES), the process returns to the main process. On the other hand, when the number of the fourth held balls is “0” (S195: NO), there is no fourth held ball that has not yet been determined for the fourth ordinary hit, and the first ordinary hit game has ended, Since the second number of reserved balls is also “0”, the jackpot game ends. Therefore, “0” is stored in the jackpot gaming state flag to be “OFF” (S196), and the process returns to the main process.

  With reference to FIG. 21, the details of the third ordinary electric accessory processing (see S17, FIG. 15) will be described. When the third ordinary moving object process is started, it is first determined whether or not the third electric chew 14 is open (S211). If the third release flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the third electric Chu 14 is closed (S211: NO), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the third release flag is “ON”, the third electric chew 14 is being opened (S211: YES). A process for closing is performed. First, it is determined whether the third opening time has elapsed (S212). If the value of the third release time counter set in S207 (see FIG. 20) is not “0”, it is determined that the third release time has not yet passed (S212: NO), and the game ball is sent to the third electric chew 14. It is determined whether or not a prize is won (S213). When the flag corresponding to the third electric Chu switch 73 is “OFF”, it is determined that no game ball has won the third electric Chu 14 (S213: NO), and the process is determined in S215. Migrate to

  When the flag corresponding to the third electric chew switch 73 is “ON”, it is determined that the game ball has won the third electric chew 14 (S213: YES). Therefore, “1” is added to the third winning ball number counter of the RAM 52 for counting the number of third winning balls, which is the number of game balls won to the third electric Chu 14 (S214). Next, it is determined whether the number of third winning balls is “7” or more (S215). If the third winning ball number is less than “7” (S215: NO), the third electric chew 14 is continuously opened, and the process returns to the main process.

  When the third winning ball number is “7” or more (S215: YES), or when the third opening time has elapsed (S212: YES), a third electric chew closing command for closing the third electric chew 14 is issued. It is generated (S216) and stored in the RAM 52. The third electric Chu closing command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. The third electric chew solenoid 66 that has received the third electric chew opening command via the relay board 47 closes the opening / closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14. Next, “0” is stored in the third release flag to be “OFF” (S217), and the process returns to the main process.

  Details of the fourth normal symbol process (S20, see FIG. 15) will be described with reference to FIG. When the fourth normal symbol process is started, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the second non-electrical accessory 18 (S221). When the second non-electrical accessory switch 77 detects a winning game ball, the flag corresponding to the second non-electrical accessory switch 77 is set to “ON” in the main process switch reading process (S11, see FIG. 15). . If this flag is not “ON”, it is determined that the game ball has not won (S221: NO), and the process proceeds to the determination of S231. If a game ball has won the second non-electrical accessory 18 (S221: YES), it is determined whether the fourth reserved ball number is “4” (S222). If the number of the fourth reserved balls is “4” (S222: YES), since the number of the fourth reserved balls has reached the maximum number of the fourth reserved balls, the process proceeds to the determination of S231.

  When the number of the fourth reserved balls is not “4” (S222: NO), “1” is added to the number of the fourth reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 (S223). Next, a fourth random number is acquired and stored in the storage area with the smallest number among the empty storage areas in the fourth normal hit relation information area (S225).

  Next, prefetching of the fourth random number is performed (S226). The prefetching of the fourth random number is a process of specifying (prefetching) information about the fourth random number newly stored in S225 before the process related to the fourth random number is executed. The process related to the fourth random number includes, for example, a fourth ordinary hit determination with respect to a fourth ordinary random number included in the newly stored fourth random number, determination of a variation pattern using the fourth variation pattern determination random number, fourth For example, determination of a normal hit type using a normal symbol determination random number. In this embodiment, whether or not the newly stored fourth ordinary random number is a value indicating that it is the fourth ordinary hit is prefetched. In S226, a prefetch command based on the prefetch content for the newly stored fourth random number is generated. The generated prefetch command is stored in the RAM 52.

  The prefetch command stored in S226 is transmitted to the sub control board 58 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process executed next time. The CPU 581 of the sub-control board 58 that has received the pre-read command displays the contents of the second half of the story bonus production and the ending bonus production in the stage before the fourth normal hit determination is actually performed. It can be changed based on the information shown. For example, when the information indicated by the prefetch command is information indicating that the fourth hit is received, the CPU 581 performs processing for displaying a special character on the display screen 28 or outputting a special sound from the speaker 48. It can be carried out. Further, for example, the CPU 581 has a value indicating that the fourth ordinary random number related to the fourth reserved ball is the fourth ordinary hit, or the fourth indicating that the fourth ordinary ball is the fourth ordinary hit among the fourth reserved balls. Depending on the number of random numbers per ordinary number, the production content can be changed from a normal one to a special one. The pachinko machine 1 performs a so-called pre-reading effect by pre-reading the fourth random number, thereby opening the fourth electric chew 15 and repeating a maximum of four second normal games and a series of third normal games. The player can be notified of whether or not Specifically, the pachinko machine 1 can execute an effect of notifying whether or not a battle bonus effect is performed. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 can change the content of the announcement for the notice according to the number of times these repetitions are performed. Specifically, it is possible to execute an effect of giving notice of how many times the battle bonus effect is performed. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can improve the interest of the jackpot game. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the determination of S231.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric Chus are closed (S231). If at least one of the first to fourth open flags is “ON”, it is determined that one of the electric chews is open (S231: NO), and the process returns to the main process. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 does not measure the variation time of the fourth normal symbol while any electric chew is open.

  On the other hand, if any of the first to fourth open flags is “OFF”, it is determined that all electric chews are closed (S231: YES), and whether the fourth normal symbol is changing. (S232). If the fourth variation flag is “OFF”, it is determined that the fourth ordinary symbol is not varying (S232: NO), and whether the number of fourth reserved balls is “1” or more (S233). When the number of the fourth reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is “1” or more (S233: YES), the number of the fourth reserved balls stored in the RAM 52 is decremented by “1” (S235). The determination area of the fourth ordinary hit relation information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S236).

  Next, a fourth ordinary hit determination is performed (S238). The fourth ordinary hit determination is performed by referring to the fourth ordinary hit determination table. The fourth ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the fourth ordinary hit determination table, random numbers of the fourth ordinary hit random numbers respectively corresponding to “fourth ordinary hit” and “out of” are defined. With reference to the fourth ordinary hit determination table, it is determined whether the fourth ordinary hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S236 corresponds to “fourth ordinary hit” or “out of”. As a result, the fourth ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined fourth ordinary random numbers stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the fourth ordinary random numbers are stored. In the present embodiment, in the fourth ordinary hit determination, the fourth ordinary hit is determined with a probability of 70%.

  Next, a fourth ordinary symbol variation start command for starting the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol is generated (S241) and stored in the RAM 52. The fourth normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts changing the fourth ordinary symbol. Next, a predetermined variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol (in this embodiment, 40 seconds for the fourth ordinary symbol and 5 seconds for the deviation) is set in the third ordinary symbol variation time counter (S242). ). “1” indicating that the fourth normal symbol is changing is stored in the fourth change flag and becomes “ON” (S243), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S232 that the fourth variation flag is “ON”, it is determined that the fourth ordinary symbol is changing (S232: YES), and the value of the fourth ordinary symbol variation time counter set in S242 is used. 44 ms is subtracted (S251). Next, based on the value of the fourth ordinary symbol variation time counter, it is determined whether the variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol has elapsed (S252). If the value of the fourth ordinary symbol variation time counter is not “0”, the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol is continued, assuming that the variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol has not yet passed (S252: NO). Return to processing.

  If the value of the fourth normal symbol variation time counter is “0”, it is assumed that the variation time of the fourth ordinary symbol has elapsed (S252: YES), and the fourth ordinary symbol for stopping the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol. A symbol stop command is generated (S253) and stored in the RAM 52. The fourth normal symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 stops the variation of the fourth normal symbol. Next, “0” indicating that the fourth normal symbol is not changing is stored in the second change flag and becomes “OFF” (S255).

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination performed in S238 is the fourth ordinary hit (S256). If the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is out of order (S256: NO), the process returns to the main process. When the result of the fourth normal hit determination is the fourth normal hit (S256: YES), a fourth electric chew release command for opening the fourth electric chew 15 is generated (S257) and stored in the RAM 52. The fourth electric chew release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process executed next time. The fourth electric chew solenoid 67 that has received the fourth electric chew opening command via the relay board 47 opens the opening / closing member 151 of the fourth electric chew 15. Next, the fourth opening time is stored in the fourth opening time counter (S258). Next, “1” is stored in the fourth release flag and turned “ON” (S259), and the process returns to the main process.

  With reference to FIG. 23, the details of the fourth ordinary electric accessory process (see S19, FIG. 15) will be described. When the fourth ordinary electric accessory processing is started, it is determined whether the fourth electric chew 15 is being opened (S261). If the fourth open flag is “OFF”, the fourth electric Chu 15 is closed (SS261: NO), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the fourth open flag is “ON”, the fourth electric Chu 15 is being opened (S261: YES), the processing of the game ball won to the fourth electric Chu 15 and the fourth electric Chu 15 A process for closing is performed. First, it is determined whether the fourth opening time has elapsed (S262). If the value of the fourth opening time counter set in S258 (see FIG. 22) is not “0”, it is determined that the fourth opening time has not yet passed (S262: NO), and the game ball is sent to the fourth electric Chu 15. It is determined whether or not is won (S263). If the flag corresponding to the fourth electric Chu switch 74 is “OFF”, it is determined that the game ball has not won the fourth electric Chu 15 (S263: NO), and the process is determined in S266. Migrate to

  When the flag corresponding to the fourth electric Chu switch 74 is “ON”, it is determined that the game ball has won the fourth electric Chu 15 (S263: YES). Therefore, “1” is added to the fourth winning ball number counter of the RAM 52 that counts the number of fourth winning balls, which is the number of game balls won to the fourth electric Chu 15 (S265). Next, it is determined whether the number of fourth winning balls is “4” or more (S266). If the number of fourth winning balls is less than “4” (S266: NO), the fourth electric Chu 15 is continuously released, and the process returns to the main process.

  Further, when the fourth winning ball number is “4” or more (S266: YES), or when the fourth opening time has elapsed (S262: YES), the fourth electric chew for closing the fourth electric chew 15 is closed. A command is generated (S268) and stored in the RAM 52. The fourth electric Chu closing command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 15) of the main process to be executed next time. The fourth electric chew solenoid 67 that has received the fourth electric chew opening command via the relay board 47 closes the opening / closing member 151 of the fourth electric chew 15. Next, “0” is stored in the fourth release flag to be “OFF” (S269), and the process returns to the main process.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1, the first normal hit determination is performed due to the game ball passing through the first symbol operation gate 11, and if it is determined that the first normal hit is, One electric chew 12 is opened with either an electric chew release pattern of the first pattern P1 or the second pattern P2. When the first electric chew 12 is opened in the first pattern P 1, almost all of the game balls won in the first electric chew 12 in the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 in the first half are the first flow path of the distribution flow path 19. It is guided to 191A and passes through the first passage region 192. In response to this, the first operating mechanism is operated, and the first non-electrical accessory 17 is opened. In the first pattern P1, almost all of the game balls won in the first electric chew 12 in the latter five open / close operations of the open / close member 121 are guided to the second flow path 191B of the distribution flow path 19 and the first pattern P1. It passes through the two-pass region 193. In response to this, the second actuation mechanism is actuated, and the second non-electrical accessory 18 is opened. Since the first non-electrical accessory 17 is a working port of the second normal symbol, the second normal hit determination is performed due to the winning of the game ball to the first non-electrical accessory 17, and the second normal If it is determined that it is a win, then the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 are interlocked. Since the second non-electrical accessory 18 is a working port of the fourth normal symbol, the fourth normal hit determination is performed due to the winning of the game ball to the second non-electrical accessory 18, and the fourth normal If it is determined that it is a win, the fourth electric Chu 15 is opened. The fourth electric chew 15 is also an operating port for the second normal symbol. Therefore, the second ordinary hit determination is performed due to the winning of the game ball to the fourth electric Chu 15, and if it is determined to be the second ordinary hit, the second electric Chu 13 and the third electric power are subsequently determined. Chu 14 is linked. In other words, when the first electric chew 12 is opened in the first pattern P1, the game ball can be won both in the first non-electrical accessory 17 and the second non-electrical accessory 18. Therefore, after the game of the first block B1 and the second block B2 related to the story bonus effect, the game related to the third block B3 related to the ending bonus effect and the game related to the third block B3 related to the battle bonus effect are performed. Is called. On the other hand, when the first electric chew 12 is released in the second pattern P2, only the opening corresponding to the first half of the first pattern P1 is performed, so that the game ball wins the first non-electrical accessory 17 The second non-electrical accessory 18 cannot be awarded. Therefore, after the game of the first block B1 related to the story bonus effect, the game related to the third block B3 associated with the ending bonus effect is only performed. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 can give an unprecedented change to the jackpot game by making a plurality of general electric jackpot jackpot games.

  When the first normal winning game is performed in the first pattern P1, game balls can be won in both the first non-electrical accessory 17 and the second non-electrical accessory 18. If a game ball wins both the first non-electrically-powered object 17 and the second non-electrically-charged object 18, the second ordinary-per-game has priority over the fourth ordinary-per-game after the end of the first ordinary-per-game. Done. As a result, the pachinko machine 1 first repeats the second normal winning game and the series of third normal winning games up to four times, and then opens the fourth electric Chu 15 once and the second second maximum. A normal hit game and a series of third normal hit games can be repeated. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 can execute a jackpot game based on an interlocking mode of an electric chew and a non-electrical power unprecedented.

  A fourth random number is acquired in response to the winning of a game ball to the second non-electrical accessory 18 and stored in the fourth normal hit relation information area (S225). The stored fourth random number information is prefetched (S226). A prefetch command based on the prefetch content of the fourth random number is generated and transmitted to the sub-control board 58. The CPU 581 of the sub-control board 58 that has received the pre-read command displays the contents of the second half of the story bonus production and the ending bonus production in the stage before the fourth normal hit determination is actually performed. It can be changed based on the information shown. For this reason, when the first normal winning game is performed in the first pattern P1 and the game balls are won in both non-electrically-powered objects, the battle bonus effect is performed after the end of the ending bonus effect. Can be notified in advance. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can increase the player's expectation according to the contents of the jackpot game according to the interlocking mode of the electric chew and non-electrical power unprecedented.

  In the pachinko machine 1, the probability per second ordinary is 100%, and the probability per fourth ordinary is 70%. For this reason, if a game ball wins the first non-powered accessory 17 during the first normal winning game when the first normal winning game is performed in the second pattern P2, the second normal winning probability is 100%. A win game is performed, and a series of third normal win games are also performed. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 gives the player a prize ball based on the second normal winning game and the series of third normal winning games when the first normal winning game is performed in the second pattern P2. The player's willingness to continue playing can be maintained. In addition, when the first normal winning game is performed with the first pattern P1, the pachinko machine 1 is connected to the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 associated with the ending bonus effect, and in addition to the second bonus associated with the battle bonus effect. The four electric Chu 15, the second electric Chu 13, and the third electric Chu 14 can be linked with a probability of 70%. In this case, the fourth electric Chu 15, second electric Chu 13 and third electric Chu 14 associated with the battle bonus effect are associated with the winning ball when the first normal winning game is performed with the first pattern P1. A prize ball is added. Therefore, the player can enjoy the jackpot game while expecting more game profits.

  In the above configuration, the first ordinary symbol and the second ordinary symbol may not be provided. That is, when the game ball wins the first symbol operation gate 11, the first ordinary symbol may not be changed and the first electric chew 12 may be opened with a predetermined first normal chance. In this case, the notification effect need not be performed.

  A prohibition process that does not change the fourth normal symbol may be provided while the second normal symbol and the third normal symbol are changing and while the second electric chew 13 and the third electric chew 14 are opened. By providing such a prohibition process, the second ordinary winning game may be performed in preference to the fourth ordinary winning game.

  Only the first pattern P1 of the above embodiment may be provided as the electric chew opening pattern in the first normal hit. Further, in addition to the above-described embodiment, when a game ball wins the opened first electric chew 12 in the first normal winning game, only the second non-electrically-powered object 18 is substantially opened, and the first non-electric-powered game is released. A combination of an electric chew release pattern that does not open the accessory 17 and a sorting shutter operation pattern may be provided. Further, such an electric chew opening pattern and the first pattern P1 of the above embodiment are provided, and the second pattern P2 may not be provided. The pachinko machine 1 can diversify the jackpot game by changing the combination of the electric chew release patterns.

  In the combination of the first pattern P1 and the distribution shutter operation pattern of the above embodiment, the game ball won in the first electric Chu 12 in the first half of the normal winning game mainly passes through the first passage area 192 of the distribution channel 19. Then, the game balls won in the first electric Chu 12 in the second half of the normal winning game mainly pass through the second passage region 193 of the distribution channel 19. In addition, game balls that won the first electric Chu 12 in the first half of the normal winning game mainly pass through the second passage area 193, and game balls that won the first electric Chu 12 in the second half of the normal winning game mainly. It may be configured to pass through the first passage region 192. In this case, since the timing at which the fourth reserved ball is stored is earlier than in the above embodiment, the pre-reading effect can be executed from the first half of the first normal winning game. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can notify the player that the jackpot game with higher game profit is executed from the early stage of the jackpot game. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 also notifies the player of the fact that all the fourth reserved balls are out of the value as a result of the pre-reading of the fourth reserved balls, and accompanies the ending bonus effect. The game of the third block B3 can be performed up to 4 times. In this case, since the gaming profit associated with each game of the first block B1 of the maximum 5 times and the third block B3 of the maximum 4 times is given to the player at the minimum, the player's willingness to continue the game is hardly lowered.
