First, when a key is inserted into the probability setting SW 95 and rotated in a predetermined direction (for example, right direction) and the power is turned on in the rotated state, the probability setting can be changed. Then, the setting change button 96 can be pressed to select one of the setting value 1 to the setting value 3. In addition, each time the setting change button 96 is pressed, numerical values from 1 to 3 are displayed on the first special symbol display 9 in order. This makes it possible to select a desired setting value. Although the setting information is displayed on the first special symbol display 9, it may be displayed on another symbol display or may be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. If displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, the display area is simply large, so it is easy to confirm. However, since the display surface of the effect symbol display device 6 is on the front while the setting change button 96 is on the back of the gaming machine, it may be notified by voice or set to a system key such as the effect button 67 jog dial 68 If the function of the change button 96 is given, probability setting can be performed while looking at the display surface of the effect pattern display device 6. Further, in the case of the effect symbol display device 6, a configuration may be employed in which a dedicated mode screen for notifying that it is possible to change the probability setting may be displayed. In addition, a configuration may be provided in which a dedicated setting value display device for displaying setting values is provided.

Then, by rotating the key inserted in the probability setting SW 95 and returning it to the initial position, that is, performing the operation of confirming the probability setting, the setting value with the probability setting is fixed, and the probability setting can be changed. The state that can be done is the end.
When the state in which the probability setting can be changed is ended, main controller 80 transmits a setting command including information such as the setting value for which the probability is set to the sub integrated control device. In the case of the configuration to be displayed by the effect symbol display device 6, it is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 to display the probability setting screen when the probability setting state is entered by the operation of the probability setting SW 95, and the setting change button 96 is displayed. It is conceivable that the configuration is such that the signal is transmitted each time the operation is performed. Thereby, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 can grasp which set value among the set value 1 to the set value 3 is set with probability.

  In this embodiment, a key is inserted into the probability setting SW 95 and rotated in a predetermined direction (for example, right direction), and the power is turned on in the rotated state, thereby pachinko when the power is cut off stored in the RAM. Information relating to the gaming state of the machine 50 is erased. The information on the setting value is not erased even when the RAM is cleared, and is held. The configuration may be configured to be erased if a dedicated operation is performed, or may be configured to be configured to be configured to erase information on the setting value when the RAM is cleared.

  It is not necessary to be limited to deleting the information stored in the RAM at the timing of turning on the power while inserting the key into the probability setting SW 95 and rotating it in a predetermined direction (for example, right direction). A configuration for erasing information related to the gaming state and the like of the pachinko machine 50 accumulated in the RAM at the timing when the operation to fix the probability setting is performed or when the state in which the probability setting can be changed is terminated. May be. If the configuration is such that the probability setting information is not erased by clearing the RAM, it can be erased after the setting operation is completed. If the configuration is such that the probability setting information is erased, the key is rotated to the right and erased at the power on timing. Is preferred.

  If the key is inserted into the probability setting SW 95 and rotated in a predetermined direction (for example, right direction) and the power is turned on in the rotated state, the setting change button 96 can be operated, but is limited thereto Instead, it may be possible to operate the setting change button 96 for inserting the key into the probability setting SW after turning on the power first and rotating it in a predetermined direction (for example, the right direction).

  Further, although the change of the probability setting is performed by inserting a key into the probability setting SW 95, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the probability setting may be changed by operating a dedicated button.

  In this embodiment, by performing the operation of determining the probability setting by rotating the key inserted in the probability setting SW 95 and returning to the initial position, the probability setting is determined, but this is not a limitation. The selected probability setting may be determined by pressing a dedicated probability setting confirmation button.

  The sub integrated control device 83 corresponds to the sub control device, receives data and commands transmitted from the main control device 80, distributes them to data for effect display control, sound control and lamp control, and effects Commands for display control and the like are transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82, and those for sound control and lamp control are distributed to control portions (functional portions as a voice control device and a lamp control device) included in itself. The function unit as the voice control device controls the sound output from the speaker by activating the sound LSI based on the data for voice control, and the function unit as the lamp control device is based on the data for lamp control The various LEDs and lamps 26 are controlled by operating the lamp driver. In addition, a rendering button 67 and a jog dial 68 are connected to the sub integrated control device 83, and when the player operates the rendering units 67 and 68, the operation signal is input to the sub integrated control device 83. . The jog dial 68 may be connected to the effect symbol control device 82. In addition, if it is a selectable configuration, it is not necessary to use a jog dial type, and it may be configured to be selectable by a cross key type or a plurality of buttons. Also called a system key.

The sub integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 82 can perform two-way communication.
The effect symbol control device 82 displays effect symbols based on data and commands received from the sub integrated control device 83 (both of which are transmitted from the main control device 80 and those generated by the sub integrated control device 83). The apparatus 6 is controlled to display an effect image such as an effect pattern on the screen of the effect pattern display 6.
In the present embodiment, the sub integrated control device 83 and the effect symbol control device 82 are divided into separate devices, but may be combined into one device.

  The sub integrated control device 83 is provided with a timer 97 which provides "hour", "minute" and "second" as data. The timer 97 starts counting when the pachinko machine 50 is powered on, and ends counting when the power is shut off. Thus, the sub integrated control device 83 can grasp the current time. Further, the timer 97 may be mounted on the effect symbol control device 82 or the main control device 80. Further, the device for counting time is not limited to the timer, and may be another device (for example, a real time clock).

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 performs lottery of the normal symbol on the basis of the ball entering the normal symbol operating gate 17, and starts the variation display of the normal symbol display device 7 whether it is normal or not. If the lottery result is a hit, then the hit is performed on the normal symbol display device 7, and when the symbol is determined and displayed, the normal electric wheeling combination is operated and the door member is opened. Thereby, it is possible to enter the second starting opening 12.
When the first or second starting opening 11, 12 is entered, a random number value is extracted due to this, and the reserved storage corresponding to each special symbol is stored. When one gaming ball enters the first starting opening 11, three balls are paid out as a winning ball (see FIG. 5). In addition, when one game ball enters the second starting opening 12, one will be paid out as a winning ball (see FIG. 5).
When one game ball enters the other winning opening (first left winning opening 31, second left winning opening 32, third left winning opening 33, right winning opening 34), 10 will be paid out as a winning ball (See Figure 5).

Then, based on the stored random number value of holding storage, the first special symbol or the second special symbol is determined to be acceptable, and the variation of the special symbol is performed by the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 Starting with the screen of the effect symbol display 6, the variation of the pseudo effect symbol corresponding to the special symbol is started. In the present embodiment, the probability (so-called, big hit probability) determined to be a big hit by the pass / fail judgment will be described later.
If the result of the success or failure judgment is a big hit, a big hit game with the big winning opening 14 opened by confirming the big hit symbol (the production symbol display device 6 is a pseudo effect big hit symbol) on each of the display devices 9, 10, 6 Conduct.
In addition, the probability of being judged as a small hit in the first special symbol by the judgment of success or absence is set to 1/288, the probability of being judged as a small hit in the second special symbol is set to 1/14. If the result of the pass / fail judgment is a small hit, a small hit symbol is fixedly displayed on each of the display devices 9 and 10, and a small hit game with the opening of the big winning opening is implemented. In addition, the production | presentation symbol display apparatus 6 stops in the aspect which alert | reports that a pseudo | simulation production | presentation symbol is a small hit.

  The big hit game is composed of a plurality of round games (for example, 8 rounds, 10 rounds, 16 rounds). As a condition for one round game to end, the opening time of the big winning opening 14 has reached a predetermined time (for example, 28 seconds) or 10 being the specified number in the big winning opening 14 (see FIG. 5) ) It is a condition that one of winnings is satisfied. When one gaming ball is won in the special winning opening 14, fifteen winning balls are obtained (see FIG. 5).

  After the big hit game is over, there is a case where it shifts to the high probability game state where it is changed to the high probability the probability of winning of the special design decision (hereinafter also referred to as probability change state). In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of big hit games are provided, and the probability of entering a positive change state after the big hit game (so-called, positive change rush rate) is set to 65% (see FIG. 5).

  In addition, after the end of the big hit game, the variation time of the special symbol and the variation time of the normal symbol are reduced, and the open extension function is activated which extends the open time of the ordinary electric part opening the second starting opening 12 and the short function. It may be a short game state (hereinafter, also referred to as a short time state), and may shift to a game state that is advantageous for acquiring the next big hit. In the normal gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 1/5, and the winning probability of the normal symbol in the time saving game state is set to 4/5 (see FIG. 5). In addition, the normal motorized role in the normal gaming state performs opening once for 0.1 seconds, and the ordinary electric role in the short game state performs opening for 2.2 seconds once ((1) See Figure 5)

  In the case of the present embodiment, the high probability gaming state and the short time gaming state are 100 times the number of times of variation of the special symbol (= number of executions of the success or failure determination) involved in the high probability gaming and the short decision gaming state. It is continued until it reaches to reference), and it is the structure which returns to a normal gaming state by the deadline.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 50, before the determination of whether or not a big hit is made, the pre-reading determination of the pending storage is performed. In relation to the pre-reading determination, a display pattern of a plurality of types of pre-reading symbols is provided as a holding symbol indicating the presence of the holding storage displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display 6 and the number of holding storages. By displaying the symbols, not only the presence or absence of the possibility of a big hit by the corresponding reserved storage, but also the pre-reading effect suggesting the set value set with probability is performed as well as suggesting the magnitude of the possibility.

Here, the jackpot probability which is a lottery probability at the time of judging whether the jackpot will be a big hit or not in the judgment processing of the special symbol which will be described later will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of types of setting values corresponding to different big hit probabilities (see FIG. 5). Three types of setting value 1 to setting value 3 are provided as setting values, and by operating the probability setting SW 95 and setting change button 96 described above, the hole can select and change any setting value. ing.

  In the low probability gaming state, the jackpot probability is set to 1/200 at setting value 1, 1/250 at setting value 2, and 1/285 at setting value 3 (see FIG. 5). In the high probability gaming state, the setting value 1 is set to 1/20, the setting value 2 to 1/25, and the setting value 3 to 1 / 28.5 (see FIG. 5). As described above, if the set value is increased, the jackpot probability is increased, and the payout rate is different depending on the set value. In the present embodiment, the probability of small hit is uniform among all the set values. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be different depending on the set values to be set.

  The main routine will be described according to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed with a hard interrupt of about 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process executed only once from S10 to S65 is referred to as "the main process", and the process of S70 repeatedly executed as long as time permits within the time remaining after the main process is executed. It is called "residual treatment". The "main process" is periodically executed by the above-mentioned interrupt.

  When a hard interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether it is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value, and when the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is good or not. In the case of not being a normal interrupt, it is conceivable that the microcomputer runs out upon power-on or due to noise or the like, but since it can be considered that there is almost no runaway of the microcomputer due to improvement in technology in recent years, most are power-on. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

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

  When the positive determination that the normal interrupt is made is made (S10: yes), an initial value random number update process is executed (S20). This process is an incrementing process that increments the value of the initial value random number every time this process is performed, and increments the value of the initial value random number before this process is executed, but the random number value before this process is maximum When the value is "3999", the processing returns to the initial value "0" in the next processing, and 4000 integers from "0" to "3999" are repeatedly created in ascending order.

The big hit determination random number update process (S25) following S20 is an increment process that increments by 1 each time the process is executed as in the initial value random number update process, and in the case of the maximum value "3999", it is the first process in the next process. The value is returned to "0", and 4000 integers from "0" to "3999" are repeatedly created in ascending order. The first value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. Assuming that this value is 250, the jackpot determination random number is updated to "250""251""252"..."3999""0""1".
In addition, when it is set to the set value 1, it is the number 20 (big hit probability 1/200 shown in FIG. 5) of the value to be a big hit in the normal probability gaming state. In addition, when the setting value 1 is set, the number of big hit values in the high probability gaming state is 200 (big hit probability 1/20 shown in FIG. 5).
Further, when the setting value is set to 2, the number 16 of the value to be a big hit in the normal probability gaming state (big hit probability 1/250 shown in FIG. 5). In addition, when the setting value 2 is set, the number 160 of big hit values in the high probability gaming state (a big hit probability 1/25 shown in FIG. 5).
In addition, when the setting value 3 is set, the number 14 of big hit values (big hit probability 1/285 shown in FIG. 5) in the normal probability gaming state. In addition, when the setting value 3 is set, the number 140 of big hit values in the high probability gaming state (a big hit probability 1 / 28.5 shown in FIG. 5).

In addition, when the random number for big hit determination is one round (it is updated 4000 times), the value of the initial value random number at that time is made the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is +1 Increment processing is performed. Then, when the jackpot determining random number makes one round again, an operation is performed to set the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the jackpot determining random number. That is, this series of operations will be repeated repeatedly. In the above-described example, when the jackpot determination random number is “249”, one round is performed, so that the next to “249” is the value of the initial value random number. Assuming that the value of the initial random number is "87", "249""87""88" ... "3999""0""1" ... "86" changes to "86". Next to is the value of the new initial value random number.
The jackpot symbol determination random number update process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 54 integers of "1" to "54", and is incremented by one for each process and exceeds the maximum value, the initial value being "0" Back to

  The hit determination random number updating process (S35) following S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers from "0" to "996", and is incremented by one for each process and is set to the initial value when it exceeds the maximum value. Return to "0". The value to be won is 31 to 40 in the normal probability state (also referred to as a low probability state) and 31 to 996 in the high probability state. In addition, this random number update process for hitting determination is usually used for lottery of symbols, other initial value random numbers, random number for big hit determination, random number for big hit symbol determination, random number for reach determination, random number for variation pattern determination random number for special symbol Used for

  The reach determination random number update process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 229 integers of “0” to “228”, and is incremented by one for each process and exceeds the maximum value. Back to In the normal probability state, the number of reach values when the fluctuation time shortening function is not activated is 21, and the values are “0” to “20”, and the reach is when the fluctuation time shortening function is activated in the normal probability state. The number of values is five, the values are "0" to "4", the number of values reaching in the high probability state is six, and the values are "0" to "5".

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

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), the confirmation of winning of the first start port 11 and the second start port 12 and the input process of each switch provided in the pachinko machine 50 and connected to the main control device 80 are executed.
In this embodiment, when the game ball wins in the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12, a plurality of random numbers such as random number for big hit determination, random number for big hit symbol determination, random number for variation pattern determination, random number for reach determination are obtained. However, the game ball is the first starting opening 11 or the first starting opening 11 when the number that can be reserved and stored is four for each of the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12 and the reserved storage is full. 2 Even if winning is made in the starting opening 12, only a prize ball is paid out, and the plurality of random numbers are not stored on hold.

Subsequently, a success / failure determination process (S55) as condition satisfaction determination means for determining whether a big hit or not is performed. When the success / failure determination process (S55) is completed, each output process (S60) such as an image output process is subsequently executed.
In each output process (S60), the main control device 80 controls the rendering symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the launch control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, the special winning opening solenoid 14b, etc. according to the progress of the game. Each performs output processing. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation process (S50) that there is a winning of the gaming ball at each winning opening on the gaming board 1, the winning ball data is output to the payout control device 81 to pay out the gaming ball as the winning ball. Process to output sound data corresponding to the game state to the sub integrated control device 83, and output an error signal to the effect symbol control device 82 to notify that it is in error when the pachinko machine 50 is abnormal Each process is executed.

  In the subsequent fraud monitoring process (S65), a process is performed to monitor whether or not the fraud at the normal winning opening (the first left winning opening 31, the second left winning opening 32, the third left winning opening 33, the right winning opening 34) is performed. It is determined whether or not the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is greater than a predetermined number determined in advance, and if it is greater, it is determined to be incorrect and processing to notify that effect It is. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main control device 80.

  The above-described residual processing subsequent to this processing is composed of the initial value random number updating processing (S70), but is the same processing as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeatedly executed as long as time permits until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the above-described processing from S10 to S65 differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not the big hit processing is performed, the display mode of the special symbol, and the like. As a result, the number of times the residual process is performed is also different for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial value random number is not uniform because the interrupt process shown in FIG. 6 is performed once. Thereby, the possibility that the initial value random number will be synchronized with the jackpot determination random number will be extremely small. Assuming that the value of the initial value random number (4000 of 0 to 3999) occurs when the jackpot determining random number makes one round, the probability of synchronization is only 1/4000. In addition, the hit determination random number updating process (S35) described above may be executed in the remaining process.

  The winning confirmation process of S50 is as shown in FIG. 7, and the main control device 80 determines whether the gaming ball has entered the first starting opening 11 based on the detection signal of the first starting opening switch 11a. It judges (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the first hold memory is full by reading the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. from the corresponding counters. Then, it is determined whether or not four) (S105).

  If the first holding storage is not full (S105: no), the above-mentioned random numbers are stored as the first holding storage, the number of lightings of the first special symbol holding number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110), and to S115 And transition. At S110, the main control unit 80 transmits, to the sub integrated control unit 83, a hold count command indicating the hold count stored in the first hold storage. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command and displays the hold symbol corresponding to the first hold storage on the effect symbol display device 6.

In the first pre-reading determination process of S115, it is determined whether or not the random number for acceptance determination stored in the pending storage of the first special symbol corresponds to a big hit. When it is determined that the command corresponds to the big hit, the pre-read command indicating the big hit determination is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. If it is determined that the game does not correspond to the jackpot, the main controller 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 whether the reach is out (is out, but there is reach indication), or is a super reach lose (it is lost but is super reach indication) Send a prefetch command including data such as whether there is an indication of presence or absence of reach indication.
The pre-read command may be combined with the above-described pending number command and transmitted as one command. The transmission timing is the same, and the effect is high when the effect is performed with the holding symbol, which is preferable. Then, it transfers to S120.

  If there are four first pending storages (S105: yes), no pending storage is performed, and the process proceeds to S120 without increasing the number of lightings of the first special symbol pending number display device 18.

  If it is determined that the game ball has not entered the first start opening 11 (S100: no), the process also proceeds to S120, and the game ball is displayed in the second start opening 12 based on the detection signal of the second start opening switch 12a. Determine if the ball has entered the ball. If the determination is affirmative (S120: yes), the big hit determination random number, big hit symbol determination random number, reach determination random number, fluctuation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second pending storage becomes full (this embodiment) Then, it is judged whether or not four) (S125).

  If the second hold storage is not full (S125: no), the above-mentioned random numbers are stored as the second hold storage, and the number of lightings of the second special symbol hold number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S130). And transition. In S130, the main control unit 80 transmits, to the sub integrated control unit 83, a hold count command indicating the hold count stored in the second hold storage. Then, the sub integrated control device 83 receives the hold number command, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays the hold symbol corresponding to the second hold storage.

In the second pre-reading determination process of S135, it is determined whether or not the random number for pass / fail determination stored in the pending storage of the second special symbol corresponds to a big hit. When it is determined that the command corresponds to the big hit, the pre-read command indicating the big hit determination is transmitted from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83. If it is determined that the game does not correspond to the jackpot, the main controller 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 is out of reach (out but with a reach indication), super reach loss (with a lack but a super reach indication) Send a read ahead command indicating either out of reach indication.
The pre-read command may be combined with the above-described pending number command and transmitted as one command. The transmission timing is the same, and the effect is high when the effect is performed with the holding symbol, which is preferable. Thereafter, the process ends (returns).

  If there are already four second holding memories (S125: yes), the second holding is not stored, and the number of lightings of the second special symbol holding number display device 19 is not increased either, and this processing is ended (return). Further, also when the game ball is not entering the second starting opening 12 (S120: no), the present process is ended.

  In the acceptance determination process shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, first, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the special motorized part is in operation based on the big hit flag (S150). If the determination of S150 is negative and the special symbol is not changing (S155: no) and the final symbol is not displayed (S160: no), the second holding memory (the holding memory according to S130 of FIG. 7) is It is determined whether there is any (S165).

  If there is this pending storage (S165: yes), the second pending storage number is decremented (S170), and the process proceeds to S185. If there is no second pending storage (S165: no), it is determined whether there is a first pending storage (above, pending storage in S110 of FIG. 7) (S175). If there is the first pending storage (S175: yes), the first pending storage number is decremented (S180), and the process proceeds to S185. In addition, if there is no 1st reservation memory (S175: no), it will shift to a big hit game processing as it is.

At S185, the second pending storage (however, if the second pending exists, the second pending priority even if the first pending is older) is read (the pending storage is erased), and the probability change flag is set It is determined whether or not (i.e., 1). Here, the probability change flag 1 means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in the high probability gaming state. If the determination is affirmative (S185: yes), the read jackpot determination random number is compared with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S190), and the process proceeds to S200 of FIG.
In the present embodiment, in S190, the main control device 80 performs a lottery for success or failure with reference to the jackpot determination value in the current setting (see FIG. 5).
If the determination is negative (S185: no), the read jackpot determining random number is compared with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S195), and the process proceeds to S200 of FIG. In the present embodiment, in S195, the main control device 80 performs a lottery for success or failure with reference to the jackpot determination value in the current setting (see FIG. 5). And, after the big hit, the percentage of entering into the high probability gaming state is set to 65%.

  In S200 of FIG. 9, based on the determination in S190 or S195, main controller 80 determines whether or not a big hit, and if a positive determination (S200: yes), determines a big hit symbol by a big hit symbol determination random number (S205). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the fluctuation pattern determination process (S210). In the variation pattern determination process, the big hit variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number.

  After performing the variation pattern determination process, the jackpot setting process is performed (S215), and then the process proceeds to S250. The jackpot setting process is determined by the jackpot symbol determined, the gaming state after the jackpot (such as whether or not a definite change or opening extension) and information regarding the jackpot game (opening time of the jackpot, opening pattern, ending time of the jackpot, number of rounds, etc.) To get

  If it is determined in S200 that it is out of alignment (S200: no), the process proceeds to S220, and it is determined whether it is a small hit or not (S220). This compares the extracted jackpot determining random number value with a table in which a predetermined jackpot value is stored. If it is affirmation determination (S220: yes), a small hit symbol will be determined by the random number for big hit symbol determination (S225), and it will transfer to S230. In addition, the small hitting probability of the special symbol (the 1st special symbol, the 2nd special symbol) of this example is 1/288. Thereafter, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S230).

After the fluctuation pattern is determined in the fluctuation pattern determination process of S230, the process proceeds to the small hitting setting process of S235, and the process proceeds to S250.
The small hit setting process of S235 acquires information (small hit game start interval, opening pattern of big winning opening 14, open interval of small hit game) of small hit game, and subtracts the number of time saving or the number of definite variations It is a process.

  If it is determined in S220 that the hit is not a small hit (S220: no), the change pattern is determined by the change pattern determination random number (S240), the loss setting process (S245) is performed, and the process merges in S250. In the loss setting process of S245, a process of subtracting the number of time reductions and the number of probability variations is performed.

Subsequent to S215, S235, or S245, data indicating the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically, usually a big hit, a probability change big hit, whether it is a small hit or not, a type of small hit, a reach out (out but with reach indication) Output a variation start command (display control command) including data indicating any one of reach display absence and variation pattern data specifying a variation time to the sub integrated control unit 83 (S250), and the big hit gaming process Transition. In addition, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines an effect to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 among a plurality of effects based on the received change start command. Thereafter, in the effect symbol display device 6, the change display of the effect symbol is started, but at the same time, the change of the special symbol is also started by the main control device 80. In the effect symbol display device 6, effect display based on the fluctuation pattern is executed, and various notices of reach or reach of the player as to whether they hit or not are displayed. It is possible for the player to grasp the degree of expectation for the hit by watching the notice and the reach effect.
At the start of variation of the special symbol, the main control device 80 of the present embodiment transmits, to the sub integrated control device, a setting command including information such as the setting value for which the probability is set. Thereby, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 can grasp any one of the setting values 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 5 for which the probability is set.

  If it is determined that the special symbol is changing (S155: yes) in S155 of FIG. 8, the process proceeds to S300 of FIG. 10, and does it have elapsed the symbol variation time (based on the variation pattern of S210, S230 or S240) It is determined whether or not. In the case of a negative determination (S300: no), it shifts to the big hit game processing as it is. In the case of an affirmative determination (S300: yes), after performing the fixed symbol display process (S305), the big hit game process is performed. In the final symbol display process, a command (symbol finalization command) to display the final symbol is output to the sub integrated control unit 83, and the commands are sent to the first special symbol display device 9 and the second special symbol display device 10. Output and stop with the final symbol. In this embodiment, the symbol determination command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. However, since the fluctuation time is designated by the fluctuation start command, the symbol confirmation command may not be transmitted. With this configuration, the effect display can be equally performed while suppressing the number of commands.

  When it is determined in S160 of FIG. 8 that the final symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), the process proceeds to S350 in FIG. 11, and it is determined whether the display time of the final symbol has ended. In the case of a negative determination (S350: no), a big hit game processing is performed. In the case of an affirmative determination (S350: yes), the display of the final symbol is ended (S355), and it is determined whether the special symbol displayed in the final symbol is a symbol that will be a big hit (S360). If an affirmative determination is made (S360: yes), it is determined whether the probability change flag is 1 (S365). If the probability change flag is 1 (S365: yes), the probability change flag is set to 0 in S370, and the process proceeds to S375. If the definite change flag is not 1 (S365: no), the process proceeds to S375 as it is. In S375, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1. If the time saving flag is 1 (S375: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S380, and the process proceeds to S390. If the time saving flag is not 1 (S375: no), the process proceeds to S390.

  In S390, a state designation command indicating a state such as whether or not the main control device 80 is in the process of changing the current gaming state or whether or not the current gaming state is the open extension state is a special symbol determination time (600 ms) It transmits to the sub integrated control apparatus 83 later, and it transfers to S395.

  In S395, the jackpot flag is set by the condition device operation start process. In the subsequent S400, the accessory continuous operating device is operated to perform a big hit game start process (S405). In the big hit game start processing, a command to start big hit game and information related to the big hit game (big hit opening time, opening pattern, big hit ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit game start process ends, the big hit game process is performed.

If it is determined in S360 that the special symbol displayed in the finalized display is not a display that will be a big hit (S360: no), it is determined whether the probability change flag is 1 (S410), and if 1 (S410: yes) It is determined whether the number of definite variations is 0 (S415). If the number of definite variations is 0 (S415: yes), the certain variation flag is set to 0 in S420, and the process proceeds to S425. When the probability change flag is not 1 (S410: no) or when the number of probability changes is not 0 (S415: no), the process directly proceeds to S425.
In S425, it is determined whether the time saving flag is 1 or not, and if it is 1 (S425: yes), it is determined whether the time saving number is 0 or not (S430). If the time saving number is 0 (S430: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S435, and the process proceeds to S440. When the time saving flag is not 1 (S425: no) or when the time saving number is not 0 (S430: no), the process proceeds to S440.

At S440, a state designation command indicating a state, such as whether the main gaming apparatus is in the process of changing the current gaming state or the open extension state, is subjected to sub integrated control after the special symbol determination time (600 ms). It transmits to the device 83 and executes the big hit game processing.
In the case of the present embodiment, the timing at which the state designation command is transmitted from the main control unit 80 to the sub integrated control unit 83 in the success / failure determination process is after the special symbol determination time, Also in this case, a state designation command may be transmitted.

  Thereafter, in S445, main controller 80 determines whether or not the special symbol displayed finalized is a symbol that will be a small hit (S445). If the special symbol displayed finalized is not a symbol that will be a small hit (S445: no), it will be a return as it is. Also, if the special symbol displayed in the final display is a small hitting symbol (S445: yes), the operation of the special electric combination is started (S450), and a small hitting game start process (S455) is performed. In the small hit game start process (S455), a command to start the small hit game and information related to the small hit game (small hit opening time, opening pattern, small hit ending time, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 . When the small hit game start process is finished, it shifts to the big hit game process.

  In the big hit game process shown in FIG. 12, the main control unit 80 determines whether or not the bonus continuous operation device is in operation based on the big hit flag (S500). When the bonus continuous operating device is not in operation (S500: no), the processing shifts to small hit gaming processing. If the prize continuous actuation device is in operation (S500: yes), it is determined whether the special winning opening 14 is open (S505). If the big winning opening 14 is not open (S505: no), it is determined whether the big winning opening 14 is closed during the interval between rounds (S510). If it is not during the interval (S510: no), it is judged whether or not the jackpot end effect is under way (S515). In the case of a negative determination (S515: no), it is determined whether the time required for the effect of starting the big hit game has passed from now (S520). When the jackpot start presentation time has elapsed (S520: yes), the special winning opening opening process (S525) is performed, and this process is ended. If the time required for the effect to start the big hit game has not elapsed (S520: no), the big hit game processing ends.

  If it is determined in S505 that the special winning opening 14 is open (S505: yes), the process proceeds to S550 in FIG. 13, and it is determined whether ten special winning openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is ten, but may be nine or eight, and is not particularly limited. If ten prizes have been won in the special winning opening 14 (S550: yes), the process proceeds to S560 to perform a special winning opening closing process. Then, the big hit interval process (S565) is performed, and the big hit game process is ended. If the ten large winning openings 14 have not been won (S550: no), the process proceeds to S555, and it is determined whether the opening time of the large opening 14 has ended. In the present embodiment, in the case of a big hit in eight rounds, ten rounds, and sixteen rounds, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 28 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to these seconds. If the opening time has ended (S 555: yes), S 560 is joined, and if not (S 555: no), the jackpot game processing is ended.

  If it is determined in S510 of FIG. 12 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S570 of FIG. 13, and it is determined whether the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S 570: yes), it is determined whether or not it is the final round that the special winning opening 14 was open immediately before (S 575). If it is the final round (S575: yes), the jackpot end effect processing (S580) is performed, and the jackpot gaming processing is ended. If it is not the final round (S575: no), processing to open the big winning opening 14 again (S585) is performed, and the big hit game processing is ended. If it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S570: no), the big hit game processing is ended as it is. In the process of opening and closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round based on the signal, and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

If it is determined in S515 of FIG. 12 that the big hit is being played (S515: yes), the process proceeds to S600 of FIG. 14 to determine whether the big hit completion time has elapsed. In the case of a negative determination (S600: no), the process directly returns. If the jackpot end presentation time has elapsed (S600: yes), the operation of the accessory continuously operating device is stopped (S605), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S610). Then, it is determined whether or not to shift to probability change and time saving in the next game state acquired in S215 of FIG. 9 (S615). Then, when shifting to definite variation and time saving (S615: yes), the number of definite variations and the number of time shortening are set (S630), the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are set to 1 (S635), and the procedure shifts to S640.
In this case, it will shift to a definite change state and an open extension state after the end of the big hit game. Further, in the probability variation / time reduction number setting process (S630), the probability variation number is set to 100 times. In addition, the number of time saving is set to 100 times, and the number of times of variation of the special symbol up to 100 times guarantees the continuation. Note that “probability variation / time reduction setting process” means the probability variation setting process and the time reduction setting process.
When the probability change flag is set to 1, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved. Further, if the time saving flag is set to 1, in the present embodiment, the average fluctuation time of the special symbol is shortened, the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening extension function of the ordinary electric character is set. In addition, high probability gaming state and time saving gaming state, for example, continues until the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol (the number of execution of the success or failure judgment) accompanying the success or failure judgment reaches 100 times, the probability change / time short limiter operates And return to the normal gaming state (low probability gaming state and non-opening extension state). The term "probability change / time short limiter" means a probability change limiter and a time short limiter.

  In S615, if it does not shift to the definite change state after the end of the big hit game but shifts only to the open extension state (S615: no), the number of time saving is set (S620) and the time saving flag is set to "1" (S625) ), Shift to S640. In this case, it will shift to the open extension state after the end of the big hit game. In S620, main controller 80 sets the time saving number to 100 times. In addition, the time saving game state is continued until, for example, the number of times of variation of the special symbol (the number of executions of the success or failure judgment) associated with the success or failure judgment reaches 100 times, the time short limiter operates to the deadline and to the non-opening extension state And has a structure to return.

  In S640, the main control device 80 transmits a big hit end command to the sub integrated control device 83, sends a state designation command to the sub integrated control device 83 (S645), and ends the big hit gaming process.

Next, when it is determined in S500 of FIG. 11 that the character continuous actuation device is not operating (S500: no), the small hit gaming process to be transferred will be described using FIGS.
First, in S650, main controller 80 determines whether the special motorized product is in operation (S650). In the case of a negative determination (S650: no), this processing ends. If the special motorized role is in operation (S650: yes), it is determined whether the special winning opening 14 is open (S655). If the big winning opening 14 is not open (S655: no), it is determined whether the big winning opening 14 is closed during the interval (S660). If it is not during the interval (S660: no), it is judged whether the small hit end effect is under way (S665). If this is also a negative determination (S665: no), it is determined whether the time required for the effect to start the small hit game has passed from now (S670). When the small hit start presentation time has elapsed (S670: yes), the special winning opening opening process (S675) is performed, and this process is ended. If the time required for the effect to start the small hit game has not elapsed (S670: no), the process ends (return) as it is.

  If it is determined in S655 that the special winning opening 14 is open (S655: yes), the process proceeds to S700 in FIG. 16 and it is determined whether 10 special winning openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is ten, but may be nine or eight, and is not particularly limited. If ten prizes have been won in the special winning opening 14 (S700: yes), the process proceeds to S710, and a special winning opening closing process is performed. Then, the big hit interval process (S715) is performed, and the process ends. If ten winnings in the special winning opening 14 have not been made (S700: no), the processing proceeds to S705, and it is determined whether the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended. In the present embodiment, the maximum opening time is set to 0.9 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. If the release time has ended (S705: yes), the process joins S710, and if the release time has not ended (S705: no), the process ends.

  If it is determined in S660 of FIG. 15 that the interval is in progress (S660: yes), the process proceeds to S720 of FIG. 16, and it is determined whether the small hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S720: yes), it is determined whether the specified number has been released or whether 10 gaming balls have been won (S725). In the case of a positive determination (S725: yes), the small hitting end effect process (S730) is performed, and the process ends. In the case of a negative determination (S725: no), a process (S735) of opening the special winning opening 14 again is performed, and the process ends. If it is determined that the small hit interval time has not elapsed (S720: no), the process ends. In the process of opening and closing the special winning opening 14, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 performs an effect corresponding to the signal.

  If it is determined in S665 of FIG. 15 that the small hitting end effect is being performed (S665: yes), the process proceeds to S740 of FIG. 16, and it is determined whether the small hit ending effect time has elapsed. In the case of a negative determination (S740: no), the process directly returns. If the small hitting end production time has elapsed (S740: yes), the operation of the special electric combination is stopped (S745), the small hitting interval process (S747) is performed, and the process returns.

Next, the reserved symbol display process of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the sub integrated control apparatus 83 determines whether or not the prefetch command has been received (S750). In the case of a positive determination (S750: yes), it is determined whether the display mode of the holding symbol to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is to be changed (S755). In the case of an affirmative determination (S755: yes), the content of the prefetch command is referenced (S760), and the setting value for which the probability is set from the content of the setting command received from main controller 80 is from setting value 1 to setting value 3 The process proceeds to S770 with reference to which one of them (S765).
In S770, main controller 80 displays on effect symbol display device 6 from among the prefetched symbols shown in FIG. 18B based on the type of prefetch command referenced in S760 and the result referenced in S765. The preread symbol to be selected is selected (S770), and the process proceeds to S780. In addition, when the display mode of the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the normal holding symbol (S755: no), the normal holding symbol shown in FIG. 18B is selected (S775), and the process proceeds to S780. Do.
In S780, the sub integrated control device 83 displays the reserved symbol determined in S770 or S775 on the effect symbol display device 6 (S780), and ends this processing. If the pre-reading command has not been received (S750: no), this processing ends.

The appearance rate of the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect display device 6 when the probability is set to the setting value 1 (1/200) will be described using FIG. 18A.
When the probability is set with the setting value 1 (1/200), the player is elected with the probability indicated by the "appearance rate" in the table shown in FIG. 18A. In addition, the simulated effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is SP reach (super reach), reach (normal reach), loss (super reach or normal reach) with the probability indicated by the “appearance rate” of the table. It will happen that you get out of the jackpot lottery without becoming).

As types of reserved symbols corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, a normal reserved symbol described in the table of FIG. 18 (b) and a prefetch symbol A to a symbol symbol J are provided.
The display mode of the normal reserved symbol of the first special symbol is a white circle. The display mode of the normal reserved symbol of the second special symbol is a white square. In addition, although the aspect is changed by the 1st special symbol and the 2nd special symbol, the same aspect may be sufficient.
In addition, the display mode of the pre-read symbol A corresponding to the first special symbol is a white circle in which “!” Is displayed. The display mode of the prefetch symbol A corresponding to the second special symbol is a white square in which “!” Is displayed.
The display mode of the look-ahead symbol B corresponding to the first special symbol is a black circle. The display mode of the prefetch symbol B corresponding to the second special symbol is a black square.
The display mode of the first reading symbol C of the first special symbol is a white circle in which “★” is displayed. The display mode of the second special symbol pre-read symbol C is such that "★" is displayed on a white square.
The display mode of the look-ahead symbol D corresponding to the first special symbol is such that "sure" is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the pre-read symbol D corresponding to the second special symbol is such that "sure" is displayed on a white square.
The display mode of the look-ahead symbol E corresponding to the first special symbol is such that "high" is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the look-ahead symbol E corresponding to the second special symbol is such that "high" is displayed on a white square.
The display mode of the look-ahead symbol F corresponding to the first special symbol is such that "low" is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the look-ahead symbol F corresponding to the second special symbol is such that "low" is displayed on a white square.
The display mode of the look-ahead symbol G corresponding to the first special symbol is such that "1" is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the look-ahead symbol G corresponding to the second special symbol is such that "1" is displayed on a white square.
The display mode of the look-ahead symbol H corresponding to the first special symbol is such that "(1)" is displayed in a white circle. The display mode of the look-ahead symbol H corresponding to the second special symbol is such that "(1)" is displayed on a white square.
In the display mode of the prefetch symbol I corresponding to the first special symbol, 1 surrounded by a square in a white circle is displayed. In addition, the prefetch symbol I is a prefetch symbol used only in the first special symbol.
The display mode of the look-ahead symbol J corresponding to the second special symbol is such that 1 surrounded by a white square is displayed. In addition, the prefetch symbol J is a prefetch symbol used only for the second special symbol.

Next, with reference to FIG. 19, an appearance rate of reach effect or the like when the held symbol is displayed and an expected value when the held symbol is displayed will be described.
While any one of the normal reserved symbol corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, the pre-reading symbol A to the pre-reading symbol J is displayed with the probability that the "appearance rate" in the table of Fig. 19 shows, the pre-reading symbol When any of the symbols A to G is displayed, a big hit is generated by the reserved storage at the probability indicated by the "expected value" in the table.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the normal holding symbol is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, the holding memory corresponding to the normal holding symbol is digested, and there is a loss from the result of the pass / fail judgment (big hit without becoming super reach or normal reach The probability of the appearance of falling out of a lottery is set to 200/200.

  Further, in the case of the normal holding symbol, the normal holding symbol is digested, and the ratio of the reach (normal reach) appearing is set to 150/200 with a loss from the result of the judgment of acceptance. In addition, when the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-reading symbol A, it corresponds to the pre-reading symbol A The rate at which reach (normal reach) appears is set to 50/200 with loss due to the pending memory being digested and the result of the pass / fail judgment.

Next, in the case of the normal holding symbol, the normal holding symbol is digested, and the ratio of occurrence of the SP reach (super reach) is set to 150/200 with a loss on the basis of the result of the judgment of acceptance.
In addition, when the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-reading symbol A, it corresponds to the pre-reading symbol A The rate at which the SP reach (super reach) appears is set to 20/200 with loss due to the pending memory being digested and the result of the pass / fail judgment.
When the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-reading symbol B, the holding memory corresponding to the pre-reading symbol B The rate at which the SP reach (super reach) appears is set at 20/200 with a loss due to the result of the judgment of acceptance.
When the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-reading symbol C, the holding memory corresponding to the pre-reading symbol C The rate at which the SP reach (super reach) appears is set to 10/200 with a loss due to the result of the judgment of acceptance.

Next, in the case of the normal holding symbol, the ratio at which the normal holding symbol is digested and the effect of notifying that it is a big hit by the big hit from the result of the judgment of the hit is set to 100/200.
If the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-reading symbol A, it is a big hit from the result of the acceptance judgment The rate at which the effect of notifying that it is appeared is set to 10/200. If the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-reading symbol B, it is a big hit from the result of the acceptance judgment The rate at which the effect notifying that it is appeared is set to 20/200. If the game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is the pre-reading symbol C, it is a big hit from the result of the acceptance judgment. The rate at which the effect notifying that it is appeared is set to 30/200. The game ball enters the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12, and the holding symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is either the pre-reading symbol D, the pre-reading symbol E, the pre-reading symbol F or the pre-reading symbol G In this case, the ratio in which the effect of notifying that the jackpot is a big hit is set to 10/200.

The “expected value” in the table shown in FIG. 19 is an item indicating the “success or failure ratio” and the “degree of reliability” when the normal retention symbol and the prefetch symbol appear.
The "presence or absence ratio" in the "expected value" shown in FIG. 19 indicates that when each effect pattern (loss, reach, super reach, big hit) is performed, the result of the success or failure judgment by the corresponding hold storage results in a loss It shows the ratio when it becomes a big hit. Further, “reliability” shown in FIG. 19 indicates the probability that it is determined to be a big hit as a result of the pass / fail determination by the pending storage.
Therefore, in the table shown in FIG. 19, among the seven types of pre-reading symbols of pre-reading symbol A to pre-reading symbol G, the pre-reading symbol with the highest reliability is pre-reading symbol D, pre-reading symbol E, pre-reading symbol F, pre-reading symbol G is there. The prefetch symbol C having a high degree of reliability next to the prefetch symbol D, the symbol E, the symbol symbol F, and the symbol symbol G is a symbol symbol C. Next to the pre-read symbol C, the high-reliability pre-read symbol is the pre-read symbol B. Among the seven types of pre-reading symbols of pre-reading symbol A to pre-reading symbol G, the pre-reading symbol with the lowest degree of reliability is pre-reading symbol A.
The pre-reading symbol H, the pre-reading symbol I and the pre-reading symbol J are pre-reading symbols suggesting only the set value for which the probability is set.

  The look-ahead symbol of this embodiment suggests an expectation of whether or not to be a big hit, but it is not limited to this, for example, a probability change big hit transitioning to a high probability gaming state after the big hit game is finalized It may be a configuration that suggests that it exists.

Next, the relationship between the held symbol displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 and the set value for which the probability is set will be described.
As shown in FIG. 20, a normal reserved symbol corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. When the normal retention symbol is displayed, the setting value is any of setting value 1 to setting value 3. The normal hold symbol does not indicate the set value for which probability is set.
As shown in FIG. 20, a prefetch symbol A, a symbol symbol B, a symbol symbol C, and a symbol symbol D may be displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display 6 corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol. The said pre-reading symbol A-pre-reading symbol D suggest that the setting value by which probability setting was carried out is either setting value 1 to setting value 3. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 20, a prefetch symbol E corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The said pre-reading design E suggests that the setting value by which probability setting was carried out is setting value 1 or setting value 2.
As shown in FIG. 20, the prefetch symbol F corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The said pre-reading design F has suggested that the setting value by which probability setting was carried out is setting value 2 or setting value 3.
As shown in FIG. 20, a prefetch symbol G and a symbol symbol H corresponding to the first special symbol or the second special symbol are displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The pre-reading symbol G and the pre-reading symbol H indicate that the setting value for which the probability is set is the setting value 1.
As shown in FIG. 20, the prefetch symbol I corresponding to the first special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The said pre-reading design I has suggested that the setting value by which probability setting was carried out is setting value 1.
As shown in FIG. 20, the prefetch symbol J corresponding to the second special symbol is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. The said pre-reading design I has suggested that the setting value by which probability setting was carried out is setting value 1.

  With reference to FIG. 21, the difference in the prefetching symbol displayed by the setting value for which the probability is set for the content of one prefetch command will be described.

First, FIG. 21A is a big hit decision from the content of the pre-reading command, and the pre-reading symbol G displayed when the setting value set with probability is the setting value 1 (1/200) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21 (a), a pseudo effect pattern 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect pattern display 6. Below the pseudo rendering pattern 1000, “Tatsukichi of the bear” of the rendering character 1001 is displayed. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a first holding symbol 1002, a second holding symbol 1003, and a third holding symbol 1004 are displayed. Since the display mode of the third reserved symbol 1004 is displayed as “1” in a white circle, it corresponds to the prefetch symbol G. The pre-reading symbol G informs that it is a big hit determination from the contents of the pre-reading command, and suggests that the probability is set to the setting value 1 (1/200). As a result, the player recognizes that the big hit is decided, and by grasping that the set value set as the probability is the set value 1, the player can continue to play the game even after the big hit. .

Next, FIG. 21B is displayed when the jackpot is determined from the content of the prefetch command, and the setting value set as the probability is the setting value 1 (1/200) or the setting value 2 (1/250). The pre-read symbol E will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21 (b), a pseudo effect pattern 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6. Below the pseudo rendering pattern 1000, “Tatsukichi of the bear” of the rendering character 1001 is displayed. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a first holding symbol 1002, a second holding symbol 1003, and a third holding symbol 1004 are displayed. Since the display mode of the third reserved symbol 1004 is displayed as “high” in a white circle, it corresponds to the prefetch symbol E. The prefetching symbol E informs that it is a big hit determined from the content of the prefetching command, and suggests that the probability is set to the setting value 1 (1/200) or the setting value 2 (1/250), that is, the high setting . As a result, it becomes easy for the player to guess that the set value set for probability is the set value 1 or the set value 2 as well as the big hit decision, so the high set is made even after the big hit game is over. Knowing things and going ahead will continue the game.

Next, in FIG. 21C, the jackpot is determined from the content of the prefetch command, and the set value set as the probability is set value 1 (1/200), set value 2 (1/250) or set value 3 (1). The pre-read symbol F displayed in the case of / 285) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 21C, a pseudo effect pattern 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6. Below the pseudo rendering pattern 1000, “Tatsukichi of the bear” of the rendering character 1001 is displayed. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a first holding symbol 1002, a second holding symbol 1003, and a third holding symbol 1004 are displayed. The display mode of the third reserved symbol 1004 corresponds to the pre-read symbol F since "white" is displayed as "positive". The pre-reading symbol F informs that it is a big hit determination from the contents of the pre-reading command, and suggests that any one of setting values of setting value 1 to setting value 3 is set probability. By this, the player grasps that the big hit is decided.
As shown in FIG. 21, various situations can be created by providing display modes of a plurality of types of look-ahead symbols.

According to the ball and ball game machine of the first embodiment, the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is a special symbol corresponding to the game ball entering the starting opening from the time of entering the starting opening. Since the display is made across a plurality of changes until the start of the change, it is possible to increase the degree of awareness of the set value set probability to the player.
Since the display mode of the pre-reading symbol is selected according to the contents of the pre-reading command and the set value set with probability, the game is performed with the probability that it is determined how big the reliability is depending on the displayed symbol. It is possible to understand what you are doing.

  Since the pre-read symbol D, the pre-read symbol E, the pre-read symbol F, and the pre-read symbol G shown in FIG. 18B are symbols that suggest a big hit decision, the four types of pre-read described above on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 When the symbol is displayed, the player as a player has the reserve memory corresponding to the pre-read symbol digested, and until the special symbol starts to change, it takes only a digestion time. However, as shown in FIG. 20, the prefetching pattern that suggests that the big hit is finalized is also different from the suggestion of the setting value set with probability by the symbol, so the notification of the suggestion of the setting value set with probability is broadcast It will be time, it will be meaningful time.

Here, the correspondence between the configuration and state of the first embodiment and the constituent requirements of the present invention will be shown.
The “numerical data extraction means” and “pending storage means” of the present invention correspond to the first extracted random number pending storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number pending storage process (S130), and the “pass / fail decision means” is the pass / fail. The "numerical data confirmation means" corresponds to the first pre-reading determination process (S115) and the second pre-reading determination process (S135), and the "special symbol display control means" corresponds to the first special process. "Reserved symbol display means" corresponds to symbol display processing (S780), and "reserved symbol selection means" is prefetch symbol selection processing (S770), and corresponds to symbol display device 9 and second special symbol display device 10. It corresponds to the normal retention symbol selection process (S775).

As another configuration of the first embodiment, when the time counted by the timer 97 mounted on the sub integrated control device 83 has passed a predetermined time, the configuration suggests the setting value set with probability using the prefetch symbol. It may be. For example, until the time counted by the timer 97 has passed a predetermined time (for example, 19 o'clock at night), the time counted by the timer 97 does not indicate the set value set by the probability pattern and the predetermined time ( For example, when the night 19 o'clock has passed, it may indicate a setting value set probability by the look-ahead symbol.
The configuration used to suggest the set value with the probability set for the time counted by the timer 97 described above is not limited to that of the first embodiment, and the second, third, and third embodiments described later will be described. The fourth embodiment may be combined with the other configurations of the fifth embodiment, the fifth embodiment, the sixth embodiment, and the seventh embodiment.
Even if the configuration consists of any combination, even if the player determines the set value for which the probability setting has been made, the business hours of the remaining gaming shops are also limited if it is after 19 pm It is possible to notify in a state in which large damage is unlikely to occur for the store.

Although the holding symbol displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 of the present embodiment is not configured to hold and change, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be configured to be held and changed. For example, the configuration may be such that the pending change is performed according to the content of the pre-reading command and the setting value set with the probability included in the setting command.
In addition, although the present embodiment has been described with the pre-read symbol, it may be performed by another pre-read continuous effect performed across a plurality of variations. The other pre-reading continuous rendition is to make a pattern action different from usual at the start of fluctuation, or to make sound or a movable object for effect work to suggest the pre-reading judgment contents, and pre-reading rendition using the pre-reading pattern Produces the same effect.
Especially in the case of the pre-reading continuous effect performed at the time of the start of the change, unlike the pre-reading pattern, only a short time is shown, but since it is performed over a plurality of changes, it is easy for the player to recognize and it is hard It is possible to produce unique effects.
Example 2

Second Embodiment A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has many points in common with the first embodiment, the differences will be mainly described.
In Example 1, it had composition which suggests setting value by which probability setting was carried out using a look-ahead symbol, but, in Example 2, the 1st extraction random number storage processing (S110), the 2nd extraction random number storage storage processing ( In a state where a predetermined number (four) is stored in S130), the game is started by the start opening over winning sound which is output when there is a winning on the start opening (the first start opening 11, the second start opening 12). It is configured to suggest to the user the set value set probability. In addition, even if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is a normal probability gaming state and a predetermined gaming state (high probability gaming state, short time gaming state), the starting opening over winning sound is output to suggest a setting value. It is a structure.

When the main control device 80 of this embodiment enters the game ball into the first starting hole 11 in a state where the first reserved memory stored due to the ball entering the first starting hole 11 becomes full. The first winning combination designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. Further, when the gaming ball enters the second starting opening 12 in a state where the second holding memory stored due to the entering of the second starting opening 12 becomes full, the main control device 80 The 2 winning combination designation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.
The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the first prize designation command or the second prize designation command notifies that the game ball has entered the start opening in a state where the predetermined number (four pieces) of pending storage is stored. The start opening over prize winning sound is output from the speaker 66.

Here, the type of start opening over winning sound according to the second embodiment will be described.
In a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extraction random number storage process (S110) and the second extraction random number storage process (S130), the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) When there is a win, a normal over win sound is output from the speaker 66. The normal over winning sound does not indicate the probability setting value.

  Further, in a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extracted random number storage process (S110) and the second extracted random number storage process (S130), the starting openings (first starting opening 11, second starting opening) If there is a prize for 12) and one of setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) to setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is probability set, either setting In the state that a value has been set with probability and with a predetermined number (four) of pending storage (first pending storage, second pending storage) stored, the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting) Over winning sound A notifying that there is a winning on the mouth 12) is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, although the winning sound is different, it can be recognized that the upper limit of the holdable number of memories has been reached, and it can be informed that winnings on the starting opening further have no meaning.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extraction random number storage process (S110) and the second extraction random number storage process (S130), the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) If there is a win, and if probability is set for set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or set value 2 (1/250, 1/25), then set value 1 or set value 2 is a probability In a state in which a predetermined number (4 pieces) of storage and storage (first storage, second storage) have been stored, it is further suggested that the start port (first start port 11, second start port 12) be set. An over-winning sound B is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability to notify that there has been a winning. In this case, it is determined that the player is not the disadvantageous setting because it is determined that the setting is not the most disadvantageous setting 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), possibly the most advantageous setting 1 (1 It can be played with the expectation that it may be / 200, 1/20).

  In a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extraction random number storage process (S110) and the second extraction random number storage process (S130), the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) If there is a winning, and if probability is set for set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) or set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), set value 2 (1/250) , 1/25) or setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) indicates that probability is set and the number of pending storages (first pending storage, second pending storage) is 4 (four) In the stored state, an over prize sound C is output from the speaker 66 at a predetermined probability, informing that there is a winning on the starting port (the first starting port 11 and the second starting port 12). In this case, it is determined that the winning setting B is not the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) contrary to the winning sound B. Therefore, the player may end the game or the second best setting value 2 It is possible to consider whether to continue the game while expecting (1/250, 1/25).

  In a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extraction random number storage process (S110) and the second extraction random number storage process (S130), the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) If there is a win, and if setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) is set as a probability, it indicates that setting value 1 has been set as a probability and holding storage (first holding storage, second With a predetermined number (four) of stored storage being stored, an over winning sound D for further notifying that there is a winning to the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) is predetermined It is output from the speaker 66 by probability. In the case of the winning sound D, it is determined that the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20), so the player tries to continue the game as much as possible in addition to the fact that the number of pending memories has reached the upper limit. It can be motivated.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extraction random number storage process (S110) and the second extraction random number storage process (S130), the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) If there is a win, and if probability is set for set value 2 (1/250, 1/25), it indicates that probability is set for set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) and hold In a state where the storage (the first storage, the second storage) is stored in a predetermined number (four), it is informed that there is a winning to the starting port (the first starting port 11, the second starting port 12). Over winning sound E is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous in comparison, it can be considered as a factor to consider whether to continue the game depending on the development.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extraction random number storage process (S110) and the second extraction random number storage process (S130), the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) If there are winnings and the probability is set for the set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), the probability is set for the set value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) In a state in which a predetermined number (four) of the suggested and reserved memories (the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory) are stored, there is a winning on the starting opening (the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12). An over prize sound F to notify that has been output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is determined that the setting value is the most disadvantageous, it can be used as a determination material to stop the game.

  In a state where a predetermined number (four pieces) are stored by the first extraction random number storage process (S110) and the second extraction random number storage process (S130), the starting opening (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12) If there is a win, and if probability is set for setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), then setting value 1 (1/200) , 1/20) or setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is suggested to be set with probability and hold storage (first hold storage, second hold storage) is stored for a predetermined number (four) In this state, an over winning sound G for notifying that there is a winning on the starting opening (the first starting opening 11 and the second starting opening 12) is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. Since the most advantageous setting value is 1 (1/200, 1/20) or the most disadvantageous setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), the player thinks positively that the setting value 1 and the game It is possible to determine whether to end the game because there is a risk that the setting value is 3.

  The over winning sounds shown in FIG. 22 are different winning sounds. The above-described over winning sound may be output only in the normal probability gaming state, or may be output in the predetermined gaming state or may be output only in the big hit gaming. In addition to the winning sound, the effect display may be displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. For example, when an over winning occurs, if the character is displayed on the screen, etc., the player recognizes that the over winning has occurred and if it is known which character corresponds to the set value, the over winning It is possible to recognize the setting contents as well as the

According to the ball and ball game machine described in the second embodiment, the starting opening (first starting opening 11) is further stored if the predetermined number (four) of the holding storage (the first holding storage and the second holding storage) is stored. The over-winning sound can be output to the second starting opening 12) a plurality of times by winning, and the recognition degree of the set value with probability set can be increased.
In addition, the start opening (first start opening 11, second start opening 12) is further performed in a state where a predetermined number (four) of the hold storage (first hold memory, second hold memory) is stored by the start opening over winning sound. Not only notifying that there has been a winning in), but also suggesting a setting value set with probability, it is possible to give meaning to a starting opening over winning sound that was not very meaningful.

Here, the correspondence between the configuration and state of the second embodiment and the constituent requirements of the present invention will be shown.
The "excess winning prize effect" of the present invention corresponds to the normal over winning sound shown in FIG.
[Example 3]

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has many points in common with the first embodiment, the differences will be mainly described.
In the first embodiment, the pre-read symbol is used to indicate the setting value set with probability, but in the third embodiment, it is determined as a big hit from the result of the pass / fail determination, and it shifts to the big hit game, and during the round In the round game effect of, it is configured to suggest a set value set probability to the player with a predetermined probability.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 23, a round game effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 during the round game will be described.

FIG. 23A shows an example of the round game effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 in the fourth round. In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of round effects displayed during the round game.
At the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display 6, a display example 1007 in which "big hit game in progress" is displayed is displayed. A display example 1007 informs the player that a big hit is in progress. In addition, a display example 1006 in which "4R" is displayed is displayed. At the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “bear's datsuki”, which is the effect character 1001, is displayed. Note that FIG. 23 (a) is a round effect to be performed during a normal round game, since a display example or the like indicating a setting value for which probability is set is not displayed.

FIG. 23 (b) shows an example of the round game effect displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 in the fourth round.
At the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display 6, a display example 1007 in which "big hit game in progress" is displayed is displayed. A display example 1007 informs the player that a big hit is in progress. In addition, a display example 1006 in which "4R" is displayed is displayed. At the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “Tatsukichi of bear with glasses”, which is the effect character 1001, is displayed. In the display example 1008 displayed at the lower right of the effect character 1001, “high setting” is displayed. Informing the player that the setting value with probability setting is either setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or setting value 2 (1/250, 1/25) by display example 1008 There is. Of course, as in the other examples, rather than notifying the set value such as the set value 1 or 2, the set value 2 or 3, etc., the intention or decision material to continue the game by performing the effect of the suggested degree It is conceivable to give

According to the ball and ball game machine described in the third embodiment, the player can make round game effects over a plurality of times by adopting a configuration that suggests setting values that are probability set in the round game effects performed during the round game. Therefore, the degree of recognition of the player's probability setting value can be increased.
Example 4

A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has many points in common with the first embodiment, the differences will be mainly described.
In the first embodiment, the pre-read symbol is used to indicate the setting value set with probability, but in the fourth embodiment, the number of ball entry exceeding the predetermined number of balls (10) in one round game is entered. When there is a ball, it is configured to suggest to the player a set value set with a probability by the big winning opening over winning sound to the big winning opening 14 that is output.

If the main control device 80 of this embodiment reaches a predetermined winning number (10) in the large winning opening 14 in one round, the gaming ball enters the large winning opening during opening. The main control unit 80 is configured to transmit to the sub integrated control unit 83 a special winning opening winning combination designation command indicating that the special winning opening is over-winning.
The sub integrated control device 83 having received the special winning opening winning designation command further outputs a special winning opening over winning sound notifying that the gaming ball has entered the special winning opening from the speaker 66.
The sub integrated control device 83 that has received the special winning opening winning combination designation command has information that which of the setting value 1 to the setting value 3 the setting value included in the received setting command is at a predetermined probability. Referring to FIG. 24, one of the over winning winning sounds A to over winning winning sounds G is selected, and the selected winning winning sound is output from the speaker 66 at a predetermined probability.

The winning opening over winning sound of the fourth embodiment will be described.
When the game ball reaches the opening of the large winning opening with the predetermined winning number (10) in the large winning opening 14, the normal over winning sound is output from the speaker 66 . Note that the normal over winning sound does not imply the set value set for probability.

  The game ball enters the opening of the large winning opening 14 with the predetermined winning number 14 (10) in the large winning opening 14, and from the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) When one of the setting values 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set with probability, the over winning sound A is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, it can simply be known that the special winning opening has received more than the prescribed number of winnings, and the player can know that the winning balls of the prescribed number or more have been obtained.

  In addition, in the state where it reaches the ball entry number which is decided beforehand in large winning a prize opening 14 (10 pieces), the game ball enters the large winning a prize opening 14 which is opening, setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20 Or when the setting value 2 (1/250, 1/25) is set with probability, the over winning sound B is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In the case of the winning sound B, it is determined that the player is not at the disadvantageous setting value, since it is determined that it is not the disadvantageous setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), perhaps the most advantageous setting value 1 It can be played with the expectation that it may be (1/200, 1/20).

  The game ball enters the opening of the large winning opening 14 in a state where the predetermined winning number 14 (10) is reached in the large winning opening 14, and the setting value 2 or the setting value 3 is set with probability In this case, the over winning sound C is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. Contrary to the winning sound B, it is determined that it is not the most advantageous setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20), and the player ends the game when this big hit game is over, or the next best setting value It is possible to consider whether to continue the game while expecting 2 (1/250, 1/25).

  The game ball enters the opening of the large winning opening 14 in a state where it has reached the predetermined winning number (10) in the large winning opening 14, and the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) If the probability is set, the over winning sound D is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In the case of the winning sound D, since it is determined that the most advantageous set value 1 is established, the player can be motivated to continue the game as much as possible, together with the generation of the winning balls of the specified number or more.

  The game ball enters the opening of the large winning opening 14 in a state of reaching the predetermined winning number (10) in the large winning opening 14, and the set value 2 (1/250, 1/25) When the probability is set, the over winning sound E is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous in comparison, it can be considered as a factor to consider whether to continue the game depending on the development.

  The game ball enters the opening of the large winning opening 14 with the predetermined winning number 14 (10) in the large winning opening 14, and the setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) If the probability is set, the over winning sound F is outputted from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. In this case, since it is decided that it is the most disadvantageous setting value, it can be used as a judgment material to stop the game when the big hit game is over.

  The game ball enters the opening of the large winning opening 14 with the predetermined winning number (10) in the large winning opening 14 predetermined, and the set value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or When one of the setting values 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5) is set with probability, the over winning sound G is output from the speaker 66 with a predetermined probability. Since the most advantageous setting value is 1 (1/200, 1/20) or the most disadvantageous setting value 3 (1/285, 1 / 28.5), the player thinks positively that the setting value 1 and the game It is possible to determine whether to end the game because there is a risk that the setting value is 3.

According to the ball and ball game machine described in the fourth embodiment, since the big hit game is composed of a plurality of rounds, there are a plurality of opportunities for winning the game ball in the large winning opening 14 exceeding the prescribed number (10 pieces) Yes, it is possible to increase the recognition degree of the player's probability setting set value as many times as possible.
In addition, when the game ball is further won in the open special winning opening 14 by more than the specified number, any one of the over-winning sound A to the over-winning sound G shown in FIG. 24 (see FIG. 24) is predetermined. Since the setting value set with probability can be recognized by being output from the speaker 66 with probability, the special winning opening 14 is output when the gaming ball further wins over the prescribed number (10 pieces) It is possible to give meaning to the big winning opening over winning sound.
[Example 5]

A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has many points in common with the first embodiment, the differences will be mainly described.
In the first embodiment, the pre-read symbol is used to indicate the setting value set with probability, but in the fifth embodiment, in the high probability gaming state and the time saving gaming state to shift after the big hit game end, the representation symbol display The effect display displayed on the device 6 is configured to suggest the player the set value for which the probability is set.

  An example of the effect display displayed on the first effect symbol display device 6 in the high probability gaming state and the time saving game state transitioning after the big hit game will be described using FIG.

FIG. 25 (a) shows an example of a normal effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 in the high probability gaming state and the time saving gaming state, which are shifted after the end of the big hit game. Note that the effect display shown in FIG. 25A does not indicate the set value for which the probability is set.
As shown in FIG. 25 (a), a pseudo effect pattern 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect pattern display 6. Below the pseudo rendering pattern 1000, “Tatsukichi of the bear” of the rendering character 1001 is displayed. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display 6, a first hold symbol 1002, a second hold symbol 1003, and a third hold symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed. In the display example 1005 displayed on the left side of the effect character 1001, “Tatsuyoshi RUSH remaining 80 times” is displayed, and in the high probability gaming state and the short time gaming state, the success or failure of the special symbol is determined 80 remaining And it is informed that it ends.

FIG. 25 (b) shows an example of effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the setting value with probability setting is suggested in the high probability gaming state and the time saving gaming state.
As shown in FIG. 25 (b), a pseudo effect pattern 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6. Below the pseudo rendering pattern 1000, “Tatsukichi of the bear” of the rendering character 1001 is displayed. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display 6, a first hold symbol 1002, a second hold symbol 1003, and a third hold symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed. In the display example 1005 displayed on the left side of the effect character 1001, “Tatsuyoshi RUSH remaining 80 times” is displayed, and in the high probability gaming state and the short time gaming state, the success or failure of the special symbol is determined 80 remaining And it is informed that it ends.
In the display example 1009 displayed above the effect character 1001, “setting value 1” is displayed. This implies that the set value set probability to the player is the set value 1 (1/20). Of course, as in the other embodiments, the setting value is not announced, such as whether it is the setting value 1 or the setting value 2 or the setting value 2 or the setting value 3, but by performing an indication of a suggested degree It is conceivable to give motivation or judgment material to continue the game.

  According to the ball and ball game machine described in the fifth embodiment, when transitioning to a game state advantageous to the player such as a high probability gaming state or a short time gaming state after the end of the big hit game, the game advantageous to the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 An effect indicating that it is in the state is displayed, and the effect continues until the advantageous gaming state ends, so at the same time as the effect indicating that the advantageous gaming state is on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, By suggesting the setting value to which the probability is set, it is possible to increase the recognition of the setting value to which the probability setting is made.

As another configuration of the fifth embodiment, the configuration described below may be used.
The pachinko machine having the other configuration of the fifth embodiment has a "limiter function" that operates when a big hit game to shift to a high probability gaming state after a big hit game is generated a predetermined number of times consecutively. When the "limiter function" reaches a predetermined number of times, the game does not shift to the high probability gaming state after the big hit game ends, and returns to the normal probability gaming state.
The pachinko machine that is configured to have the above-mentioned "limiter function" suggests a setting value by starting the effect mode in the high probability gaming state with the limiter function activated being different from the normal effect mode It is possible to do. In this case, although the only negative factor is that the high probability state is forced to be terminated normally when the limiter function is activated, the positive value is obtained that the set value can be determined when the limiter function is activated. Will be able to give
In addition to the high probability gaming state, the same effect can be provided even with a configuration that suggests a set value in a round game effect at the time of a big hit by winning with the limiter function activated. At that time, an over winning may be attributed.

  An example of effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the limiter is operated will be described using FIG.

FIG. 26A shows an example of a normal effect display displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the limiter function is activated in the high probability gaming state and the short time gaming state.
As shown in FIG. 26 (a), a pseudo effect pattern 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect pattern display 6. Below the pseudo rendering pattern 1000, “Tatsukichi of the bear” of the rendering character 1001 is displayed. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display 6, a first hold symbol 1002, a second hold symbol 1003, and a third hold symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed.
In the display example 1010 displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “5 consecutive in a limiter operation” is displayed, and it is informed that a big hit is currently occurring 5 consecutive times. Further, since the limiter operation is displayed, notification that the limiter is operating is notified when the number of limiters reaches a predetermined number.

FIG. 26B shows the effect display that is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 when the limiter function is activated and the probability setting set value is suggested to the player in the high probability gaming state and the short time gaming state An example is shown.
As shown in FIG. 26 (b), a pseudo effect pattern 1000 is variably displayed at the center of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6. Below the pseudo rendering pattern 1000, “Tatsukichi of the bear” of the rendering character 1001 is displayed. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display 6, a first hold symbol 1002, a second hold symbol 1003, and a third hold symbol 1004 corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed.
In the display example 1010 displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “5 consecutive in a limiter operation” is displayed, and it is informed that a big hit is currently occurring 5 consecutive times. In addition, since the limiter operation is displayed, when the number of limiters reaches a predetermined number, it is informed that the limiter is operating. Then, “high setting” is displayed in the display example 1009 displayed above the effect character 1001, and the setting value with probability setting is the setting value 1 (1/20) or the setting value 2 (1/1). It is suggested that it is either of 25).

The effect of notifying that the limiter has been activated for the pachinko machine provided with the limiter function is to notify that it returns to the low probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game, and the player pays attention to the above-mentioned effect Will see. Therefore, by suggesting the set value having the probability set during the effect, it is possible to increase the recognition of the set value having the probability set to the player. In addition, if it is set to high setting by grasping the setting value that is set probability when the limiter is activated, it is possible to continue playing the game even after returning to the low probability gaming state, and new Will give you a good taste.
[Example 6]

A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Since the present embodiment has many points in common with the first embodiment, the differences will be mainly described.
In Example 1, it was set as the composition which suggests the setting value by which probability setting was carried out using a look-ahead symbol. In the sixth embodiment, since the small hit probability of the second special symbol is set to a probability higher than the small hit probability of the first special symbol, it shifts to the open extension state after the end of the big hit game, and the second starting opening 12 When the game ball is entered, the state in which the small hit game occurs is higher than in the non-open extended state, so when the small hit game is executed, the display is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 It is a structure which suggests the setting value by which probability setting was carried out using the small hit game production performed.

FIG. 26 (a) shows an example of a normal effect display that is generated on the small hit game and displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. FIG.
As shown to Fig.26 (a), the pseudo rendering symbol 1000 currently displayed on the screen lower right of the rendering symbol display apparatus 6 is displayed by "246". In the display example 1011 displayed above the pseudo rendering symbol 1000, “small hit is generated! Please let me enter the big winning opening!”. At the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “bear's datsuki” is displayed.

FIG. 26 (b) shows an example of effect display displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when a small hit game occurs and the probability value set setting is suggested to the player.
As shown in FIG. 26 (b), the pseudo effect symbol 1000 displayed at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display 6 is displayed as "246". In the display example 1011 displayed above the pseudo rendering symbol 1000, “small hit is generated! Please let me enter the big winning opening!”. At the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, “bear's datsuki” is displayed. In the display example 1008 displayed above the effect character 1001, “high setting” is displayed. This implies that either the setting value 1 (1/200, 1/20) or the setting value 2 (1/250, 1/25) is set with probability.

According to the ball and ball game machine described in the sixth embodiment, not only the occurrence of the small hit game but also the effect for the small hit game suggesting the probability setting set value, the frequency at which the small hit game is performed Can be recognized to set the probability value. In addition, when a small hit game occurs, it does not suggest a set value, but it may be a configuration that suggests a set value if it is possible to win a game ball in the big winning opening during the small hit gaming state. If this is the case, even a small hit game with a relatively small winning ball can give the joy of winning to the big winning opening, and can give a joy other than the winning ball at the small hit.

Furthermore, the main control unit 80 of the seventh embodiment is configured such that the first large winning opening solenoid 14b, the second large winning opening solenoid 69b, and the ordinary electric role solenoid (in FIG. The object solenoid 12b and the distribution solenoid 91a are connected.
Further, main controller 80 controls first large winning opening solenoid 14 b to open and close large winning opening of first large winning opening 14, and controls second large winning opening solenoid 69 b to control second large winning opening 69. And opens and closes the door member provided at the second starting port 12 by controlling the motorized electric product solenoid 12b and further opens and closes the specified area 92 by controlling the distribution solenoid 91a.

  The effect symbol control device 82 constitutes a first effect symbol display device 6A together with the LCD panel unit and the attached unit. The effect pattern control device 82 comprises the control of the LCD panel of the effect pattern display device 6 consisting of the LCD panel unit and the attached unit, and the LCD panel unit and the attached unit, in accordance with the command sent from the sub integrated control device 83. The display control of the LCD panel of the second effect symbol display device 6B is performed.

  Next, the big hit game processing for controlling the progress of the big hit game will be described using the flowcharts of FIG. 30 to FIG. This process is executed from the main routine.

  In the big hit game process shown in FIG. 30, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the character continuous action device is in operation, that is, a big hit game is being executed (S800). When the bonus continuous actuation device is not operating (S800: no), the jackpot game processing is ended (return). If the bonus item continuous actuation device is in operation (S800: yes), a specific area passage confirmation process (S805) is performed to confirm whether the gaming ball has passed through the specific area 92 described later. Then, it transfers to S810. Note that

  In S810, main controller 80 determines whether or not first large winning opening 14 is open (S810). If the first large winning opening 14 is not open (S810: no), it is determined whether the second large winning opening 69 is open (S815). If the second large winning opening 69 is not open (S815: no), it is determined whether the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 69 are closed during the interval between rounds (S820). If it is not during the interval (S820: no), it is judged whether or not the jackpot end effect is under way (S825). In the case of a negative determination (S825: no), it is determined whether the time required for the effect of starting the big hit game has passed from now (S830). If the jackpot start presentation time has elapsed (S 830: yes), the first large winning opening opening process (S 835) is performed and the present process is ended. If the big hit start effect time has not passed (S 830: no), the big hit game is ended as it is.

  If it is determined in S810 that the first large winning opening 14 is open (S810: yes), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG. 31, and it is determined whether ten first large winning openings 14 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is ten, but may be nine or eight, and is not particularly limited. In addition, if one is won in the first big winning opening 14, 15 winning balls are obtained. If ten prizes have been won in the first large winning opening 14 (S850: yes), the process proceeds to S860, and the first large winning opening closing process is performed. Then, the big hit interval process (S865) is performed, and the big hit game process is ended. If ten pieces have not been won in the first large winning opening 14 (S850: no), the processing proceeds to S855, and it is determined whether the opening time of the first large winning opening 14 has ended. In the present embodiment, in the 16 rounds of big hit games, the maximum opening time of the first big winning opening 14 of each round other than the predetermined round is set to 30 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this open time. If the opening time has ended (S 855: yes), the process joins S 860. If the opening time has not ended (S 855: no), the jackpot game processing ends.

If it is determined in S815 that the second big winning opening 69 is open (S815: yes), the process proceeds to S870 in FIG. 31 and the sorting apparatus control process (S870) is performed to control the sorting apparatus 91 described later. Transition to
When the sorting device control process in S870 ends, the process proceeds to S875. In S875, main controller 80 determines whether or not 10 in second big winning opening 69 have been won. In the present embodiment, the number is ten, but may be nine or eight, and is not particularly limited. In addition, when one gaming ball is won in the second big winning opening 69, fifteen winning balls are obtained.
When ten pieces have been won in the second large winning opening 69 (S875: yes), the process proceeds to S885. If ten pieces have not been won in the second large winning opening 69 (S875: no), it is determined whether the opening time of the second large winning opening 69 has ended (S880). In the case of a positive determination (S880: yes), the process merges into S885. In S885, the second big winning opening 69 closing process is performed, the big hit interval process (S890) is performed, and the big hit gaming process is ended. If the opening time of the second big winning opening 69 has not ended (S880: no), the big hit game processing is ended.
In the present embodiment, the second big winning opening 69 is opened in 15 rounds. The opening pattern of the second big winning opening 69 is an opening pattern set to a maximum opening time of 30 seconds in one opening, an opening time of 0.1 second in the first opening, and a second opening after a predetermined time has elapsed. An opening pattern set to an opening time of 29.9 seconds is provided. In the distribution device 91, the operation of the distribution device 91 is always the same regardless of the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 69. Thereby, the case of winning in the specific area 92 and the case of not winning in the specific area 92 can be divided.

If it is determined in S820 of FIG. 30 that the interval is in progress (S820: yes), the process proceeds to S900 of FIG. 32, and it is determined whether the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S900: yes), it is determined whether or not the first large winning opening 14 or the second large winning opening 69 has been open just before the final round (S905). If it is the final round (S 905: yes), the jackpot end effect processing (S 910) is performed, and the jackpot gaming processing is ended.
If it is not the final round (S 905: no), it is determined whether the big winning opening to be opened in the next round is the first big winning opening 14 (S 915). If the determination is affirmative (S915: yes), the process of opening the first large winning opening 14 (S920) is performed again, and the big hit gaming process is ended. In addition, when it is determined that the currently open large winning opening is not the first large winning opening 14 (S915: no), the second large winning opening 69 is opened (S925), and then Perform a big hit game process. If it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S900: no), the big hit game processing is ended as it is. In the process of opening and closing the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 69, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round based on the signal, and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

If it is determined in S825 in FIG. 30 that the big hit is being played (S825: yes), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG. 33, and it is determined whether the big hit completion time has elapsed. If the jackpot end production time has elapsed (S950: yes), the operation of the continuous product actuating device is stopped (S955), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S960). If the big hit end production time has not passed (S950: no), the big hit game processing is ended as it is.
Then, it is determined whether or not the probability change effective flag indicating that the ball has entered the specific area 92 during the big hit game is 1 (S965). In the case of a positive determination (S965: yes), a process of setting the number of times of probability variation is performed (S970). In S970, the number of definite variations is set to 100. Thereafter, the probability change flag is set to 1 (S975), and the process proceeds to S980. When the probability change flag is set to 1, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved. Also, if it does not shift to the definite change (S965: no), it shifts to S980.

In S980, main controller 80 determines whether or not to shift to the time saving state after the end of the big hit game (S980). In the case of a negative determination (S980: no), the process proceeds to S995. Further, in the case of a positive determination (S980: yes), in S985, the time saving setting process is performed. In step S985, the number of time saving is set to 100. Thereafter, the time saving flag is set to 1 (S990), and the process merges with S995. Of course, it may be configured not to set the time saving number.
Then, the big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control unit 83 (S995), the state designation command is sent to the sub integrated control unit 83 (S997), and the big hit game processing is ended.
Note that the time reduction number set in S985 is normally set to 100 even for the big hit and the probability variation big hit. In the present embodiment, when the time-shortening flag is 1, the open extension function is set to shorten the average fluctuation time of the special symbol, shorten the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol, and extend the open time of the ordinary electric character.

Next, a specific area passage check process (S805 in FIG. 30) for detecting entry into the specific area 92 during the big hit game will be described using the flowchart in FIG.
In S1000, it is determined whether or not the probability variation effective flag is 0, and in the case of a positive determination (S1000: yes), the process proceeds to S1005.

In addition, if the probability change effective flag is “1”, the gaming ball enters the specific area 92, and shifts to the high probability gaming state after the end of the big hit game.
In S1005, based on the detection signal from the specific area SW 92a, it is determined whether or not the specific area 92 has entered. Then, in the case of a positive determination (S1005: yes), the process proceeds to S1010. In the case of a negative determination (S1005: no), the specific area passage confirmation process shown in FIG. 34 is ended (return), and the process proceeds to S810 in FIG.
In the present embodiment, the main control device 80 that receives the detection signal from the specific area SW 92a transmits a specific area prize designation command to notify the sub integrated control apparatus 83 that the game ball has won in the specific area 92. . The sub integrated control device 83 having received the specific area prize designation command displays a prize effect on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 36).
In S1010, it is determined whether a specific area normal flag described later is 1 or not, and in the case of a positive determination (S1010: yes), a definite variation effective flag is set to 1 in S1015, and specific area passage confirmation in FIG. The process ends, and the process proceeds to S810 in FIG. In the case of a negative determination (S1010: no), the specific area passage confirmation process shown in FIG. 34 is ended (return), and the process proceeds to S810 of FIG.

The distribution apparatus control process (S870 in FIG. 31) will be described using FIG.
At S1050, main controller 80 determines whether three seconds have elapsed since the opening of second big winning opening 69 (S1050). In the case of a negative determination (S1050: no), the process proceeds to S1070. If the determination is affirmative (S1050: yes), it is determined in S1055 whether or not the sorting device 91 is closing (S1055). In the case of a negative determination (S1055: no), it joins to S1070. If the determination is affirmative (S1055: yes), the sorting device 91 is opened (S1060), the specific region normal flag is set to "1" (S1065), and the process proceeds to S1070. In addition, if the specific area normal flag is set to “1”, the sorting device 91 is open, and it is possible to make the game ball enter the specific area 92.

In S1070, main controller 80 determines whether or not distribution device 91 is open. In the case of a negative determination (S1070: no), the sorting device control process shown in FIG. 35 is ended, and the process proceeds to S875 in FIG.
In addition, in the case of a positive determination (S1070: yes), it is determined whether or not the entry of the gaming ball is detected by the specific area SW 92a (S1075). In the case of a positive determination (S1075: yes), the process directly proceeds to S1085. In the case of a negative determination (S1075: no), it is determined whether the open time of the distribution device 91 has ended (S1080). In the case of a negative determination (S1080: no), the distribution apparatus control process shown in FIG. 35 is ended, and the process proceeds to S875 of FIG.
If the determination is affirmative (S1080: yes), the closing process (S1085) of the sorting apparatus 91 is performed, the specific region normal flag is set to 0 (S1090), and the sorting apparatus control process shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to S875 in FIG.
