FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, and shows an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into an outer frame 1a formed in a vertically long rectangular frame shape, a game board (gauge board) 2 constituting a game board surface, and a game machine that supports and fixes the game board 2. It is composed of a frame (base frame) 3. The game board 2 is formed with a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven. Note that the front surface of the gaming board 2 is covered with a glass door frame 3a provided on the gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 so as to be opened and closed. The gaming machine frame 3 and the glass door frame 3a are provided so as to be openable and closable around the left side of the outer frame 1a. By doing so, it becomes possible to open, and general players or the like cannot open the gaming machine frame 3 and the glass door frame 3a.

  A first special symbol display 4A and a second special symbol display 4B are provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). Each of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B is composed of, for example, a segment or a dot matrix LED (light emitting diode) or the like, and a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information) that can identify each of them. A special symbol (also referred to as “special symbol”) is displayed in a variable manner (variable display). For example, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B each variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. To do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. However, for example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns in which the combination of the LED to be turned on and the LED to be turned off in the 7-segment LED may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols.

  A plurality of special symbols are assigned symbol numbers corresponding thereto. As an example, symbol numbers “0” to “9” are assigned to numbers indicating “0” to “9”, and symbol numbers “10” are assigned to symbols indicating “−”. Just do it. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol indicator 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". .

  Both the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are formed in a square shape, for example. Note that the type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same (for example, both a number indicating “0” to “9” and a symbol indicating “−”). May be different. Further, each of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B may be configured to variably display numbers (or two-digit symbols) indicating, for example, “00” to “99”. . In the present embodiment, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are illustrated in a rectangular shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first special symbol display 4B and the second special symbol display 4B are exemplified. The segments constituting the display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B may be irregularly arranged.

  An effect display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The effect display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, for example, there are three corresponding to the variable display of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display 4A and the variable display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display 4B. In the effect symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display parts, the effect symbols (also referred to as decorative symbols), which are a plurality of types of identification information (decoration identification information) that can be identified, are variably displayed.

  As an example, in the display area of the effect display device 5, “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged. And, in response to the start of any one of the variation of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A and the variation of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display 4B in the special symbol game, In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, changes in the effect symbols (eg, vertical scroll display) are started. Thereafter, when the confirmed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display result in the special symbol game, the effect display devices 5L, 5C, 5R in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the finalized design symbol (final stop symbol) that is the result of variation display of the production symbol is stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the variable display using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A or the variable display using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display 4B. In synchronism with the above, a variation display of a plurality of types of effect symbols each identifiable is performed, and a definite effect symbol that is a variation display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). In addition, for example, various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols are derived and displayed by stopping display of identification information such as effect symbols (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) and ending the variable display. . On the other hand, during the variation display from the start of the variation display of the production symbol to the display of the definite production symbol that is the variation display result, the variation rate of the production symbol becomes “0”, The symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, for example, in a display state that causes slight shaking or expansion / contraction. Such a display state is also called a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not deterministically displayed, the player can recognize that the variation of the effect symbol due to the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include a complete stop display of the effect symbol for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion / contraction.

  For example, nine types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “9” or Chinese characters) are displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. It may be any combination of numbers, English letters, nine character images related to a predetermined motif, a combination of numbers, letters, symbols, and character images. Character images may be, for example, people, animals, other objects, or , A decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or other arbitrary figure). A corresponding symbol number is attached to each of the effect symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “9” are assigned to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “9”, respectively. The production symbols are not limited to nine types, and may be any number (for example, eight types, ten types, etc.) as long as an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that is out of place can be configured.

  From the start of the variation display of the effect symbols, until the finalized effect symbol that is the variation display result is derived and displayed, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R , For example, scroll display is performed such that the symbol number sequentially flows from the smallest to the largest, and when the effect symbol having the largest symbol number (for example, “9”) is displayed, The effect symbol having the smallest symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, the “left” effect symbol display area 5L), the symbols are scrolled from the largest symbol number to the smallest symbol number. When the effect symbol having the smallest number is displayed, the effect symbol having the largest symbol number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the effect display device 5, a first hold memory display area 5D and a second hold memory display area 5U are arranged. An active display area 5F for displaying the hold display corresponding to the memory as the active display is displayed. Here, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to each special symbol is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). That is, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing the variable display of the special symbol and the effect symbol is satisfied, but the variable display based on the previously established start condition is being executed or the pachinko machine When the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display is not satisfied because 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. The hold display in the first hold storage display area 5D is a hold display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening, and the hold display in the second hold storage display area 5U. Is a hold display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening.

  In particular, the first hold storage display area 5D of the present embodiment displays the hold 1 display position for displaying the first first special figure hold display from the bottom to the top, and the second first special figure hold display. The hold 2 display position to display, the hold 3 display position to display the third first special figure hold display, and the hold 4 display position to display the fourth first special figure hold display are arranged in parallel. Can be displayed.

  In addition, a character image C is displayed above the first reserved storage display area 5D in the effect display device 5 (see FIG. 25). In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as will be described in detail later, a start in which the hold display moves from the character image C toward the first hold storage display area 5D or the active display area 5F when a new start winning is generated. Winning effects can be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the hold display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening is displayed in a round white display (the hold storage displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D). Display), and the hold display generated based on the start winning due to the game ball passing (entering) through the second start winning opening is a circular white display (the hold storage display displayed in the second hold storage display area 5U) ). Based on the hold display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) through the first start winning opening, and based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening. The display mode of the generated hold display may be a different display mode.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the number of special figure reserved memories is specified at the upper part of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B together with the first reserved memory display area 5D and the second reserved memory display area 5U. A first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B are provided for possible display. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The number of first special figure hold memory is the number of memory for which the execution of the variable display using the first special figure is suspended. The second special figure holding memory number is the number of memories for which the execution of the variable display using the second special figure is suspended. The variable display holding memory number obtained by adding the first special figure holding memory number and the second special figure holding memory number is also referred to as a total holding memory number. When simply referring to the “number of special figure hold memory”, it usually refers to a concept including any of the first special figure hold memory number, the second special figure hold memory number, and the total hold memory number. It may refer to a concept that includes the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number but excludes the total reserved memory number).

  General winning ports 50A and 50D are provided on the left and right sides of the effect display device 5, and general winning ports 50B and 50C are provided below the general winning ports 50A. Also, below the effect display device 5, there are provided a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B. The normal winning ball apparatus 6A forms a first start winning opening that is always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is in a normal open state (see the solid line position in FIG. 1) and a tilt position (see the dotted line position in FIG. 1), which are in the vertical position, by the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory shown in FIG. And a normal starting member having a movable wing piece that changes to an expanded open state, and forms a second start winning opening.

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the OFF state, so that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening. It becomes difficult to open normally. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by the tilt control in which the movable blade piece is tilted when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the ON state ( It will be in an expanded open state that is easy to enter. In the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even when in the normal open state, there is a possibility that the game ball may enter more than in the expanded open state. You may comprise so that it may become low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening in the normally open state, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening. In this way, the second start winning port as the second start area is in an expanded open state in which game balls easily pass (enter) and in a normally open state in which game balls are difficult to pass (enter) or cannot pass (enter). To change.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by, for example, a first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by, for example, the second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the second start condition is satisfied. The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B. May be the same number or different numbers.

  The game balls that have passed (entered) through the general winning ports 50A, 50B, 50C, 50D are the first general winning port switch 26A, the second general winning port switch 26B, the third general winning port switch 26C, shown in FIG. It is detected by the fourth general winning opening switch 26D, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls based on the detection.

  A special variable winning ball unit 7 in which the first special variable winning ball device 7A and the second special variable winning ball device 7B are integrated is provided on the right side of the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. Yes.

  Here, the configuration of the special variable winning ball unit 7 will be described. In addition, in the following description, it demonstrates on the basis of the up-down and left-right direction when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is seen from the front.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the special variable winning ball unit 7 includes a first special variable winning ball device 7A on the left side and a second special variable winning ball device 7B on the right side. Further, a cover body (not shown) made of a light-transmitting synthetic resin material is attached to the front side of the special variable winning ball unit 7, and the player can pass the special variable winning ball unit through the cover body. 7, especially the game ball flowing down in the second special variable winning ball apparatus 7B can be visually recognized.

  The first special variable winning ball apparatus 7A includes a first big prize opening door 701 that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the first big prize opening door 701 changes between an open state and a closed state. Form the first grand prize opening. The first grand prize opening is formed to open upward at the left part of the special variable winning ball unit 7. The first grand prize opening door 701 is slidable in the front-rear direction between a closed position where the first big prize opening is closed by driving the solenoid 82 and an open position where the first big prize opening is opened. ing.

  In the first special variable winning ball apparatus 7A, when the solenoid 82 is in the ON state, the first grand prize opening door 701 opens the first big winning opening, and the game ball passes (enters) the first big winning opening. Make it easy to do. On the other hand, when the solenoid 82 is in the off state, the first grand prize opening door 701 closes the first big prize opening, and the game ball cannot pass (enter) the first big prize opening. As described above, the first big prize opening is changed between an open state advantageous for a player through which game balls easily pass (enter) and a closed state unfavorable for the player through which game balls cannot pass (enter). In addition to the closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enter) through the first grand prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball is difficult to pass (enter) through the first grand prize port is provided. May be.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) the first grand prize opening is detected by the first count switch 23 by passing through a first count switch 23 (see FIG. 2) provided in the first big prize opening. . The game ball that has passed through the first count switch 23 is guided to the back side of the game board 2 through a through hole (not shown) formed in the game board 2. Based on the detection of game balls by the first count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) the first special winning opening which has been opened in the first special variable winning ball apparatus 7A, other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening are opened. More prize balls are paid out than when game balls pass (enter). Therefore, when the first special prize winning device 7A is in the open state in the first special variable prize winning ball device 7A, the game ball can enter the first big prize winning port, which is a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, in the first special variable winning ball apparatus 7A, if the first grand prize opening is closed, it is impossible or difficult to obtain a winning ball by passing (entering) the game ball to the first big winning opening. Thus, the second state is disadvantageous for the player.

  Further, most of the game balls that have flowed down without entering the first grand prize opening are guided to the normally variable winning ball device 6B by an obstacle nail or the like (not shown). 2 The winning prize opening is designed to win.

  A second special variable winning ball device 7B shown in FIG. 13 is formed to protrude upward from the first special variable winning ball device 7A, and is opened and closed by a solenoid 83 (see FIG. 2). A prize opening door 711 is provided, and the second big prize opening that changes between an open state and a closed state is formed by the second big prize opening door 711. The second big prize opening is formed to open upward at the upper end portion of the second special variable winning ball apparatus 7B. The second grand prize opening door 711 is between a first state (open state) in which the second big prize opening is opened by driving the solenoid 83 and a second state (closed state) in which the second big prize opening is closed. It is provided so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction.

  In the second special variable winning ball device 7B, when the solenoid 83 for the second big winning gate door 711 is in the ON state, the second big winning port door 711 opens the second big winning port and the game ball is in the second state. Make it easy to pass (enter) through the two major winning openings. On the other hand, when the solenoid 83 for the second grand prize opening door 711 is in the OFF state, the second big prize opening door 711 closes the second big prize opening and the game ball passes through the second grand prize opening. (Entrance) can not be. As described above, the second grand prize opening is changed between an open state in which a game ball easily passes (enters) and is advantageous to the player, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enters) and is disadvantageous to the player. In addition to the closed state where the game ball cannot pass (enter) through the second grand prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially opened state where the game ball is difficult to pass (enter) through the second big prize port is provided. May be.

  A game ball passing (entering) the second grand prize opening is detected by the second count switch 24A by passing through the second count switch 24A installed in the second big prize opening shown in FIG. . Based on the detection of game balls by the second count switch 24A, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the second big prize opening opened in the second special variable prize winning ball device 7B, for example, other normal prizes such as the first start prize opening and the second start prize opening. More prize balls are paid out than when game balls pass (enter) through the mouth. Therefore, when the second special prize winning device 7B is in the open state in the second special variable prize winning ball device 7B, the game ball can enter the second great prize winning port, which is a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, if the second special prize winning device 7B is closed in the second special variable prize winning ball device 7B, it is impossible or difficult to obtain a prize ball by passing (entering) the game ball to the second major prize winning port. Thus, the second state is disadvantageous for the player.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the second special variable winning ball apparatus 7B, there is formed a game ball flow path 750 through which the game ball that has passed through the second large winning opening can flow down. The game ball flow path 750 includes a main path 740 (a region along the solid line in FIG. 13) through which the game ball that has passed the second grand prize opening can pass, and a branch path 741 that branches from the main path 740 (in the dotted line in FIG. 13). Area). A backflow preventing member 730, which will be described later, is disposed between the main path 740 and the branch path 741. Further, a first branch portion 742 where the branch path 741 branches from the main path 740 is provided on the upstream side of the backflow prevention member 730 in the main path 740, and on the downstream side of the backflow prevention member 730 in the main path 740. In addition, a second branch portion 743 where a branch path 741 branches from the main path 740 is provided. That is, the game ball flowing down the main path 740 can move from the first branch part 742 or the second branch part 743 to the branch path 741 side.

  A third count switch 24B through which a game ball can pass is installed at the most downstream portion of the main path 740, and the game ball passes through the third count switch 24B, and is thereby moved by the third count switch 24B. Detected. The game ball that has passed through the third count switch 24B is guided to the back side of the game board 2 through a through hole (not shown) formed in the game board 2. The game ball that has reached the most downstream portion of the branch path 741 is guided to the back side of the game board 2 through a through hole (not shown) formed in the game board 2 and passes through the fourth count switch 24C. , Detected by the fourth count switch 24C.

  In this embodiment, the game state after the small hit game is controlled to the big hit game state based on the detection of the game ball by the third count switch 24B during the small hit game described later. . Therefore, during the period in which the second big prize opening door 711 is open during the small hit game, the path of the game ball is changed by adding vibration or the like, and the game ball is detected by the third count switch 24B. In this case, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to stop the game because the fraud that is controlled to the big hit gaming state advantageous to the player becomes possible.

  On the downstream side of the first branch portion 742 in the main path 740, a regulating member 721 that regulates and allows the flow of the game ball toward the third count switch 24B is provided. The restricting member 721 protrudes into the main path 740 by driving the solenoid 85 (see FIG. 2), thereby restricting the flow of the game ball toward the third count switch 24B in the main path 740, and By retreating from the main path 740, the game ball is provided to be slidable in the front-rear direction between an allowable state in which the game ball is allowed to flow toward the third count switch 24B in the main path 740.

  The upper portion of the regulating member 721 is formed as a flat surface, and the flat surface is provided in the main path 740 so as to incline downward by a predetermined angle toward the branch path 741 when viewed from the front. . For this reason, when the game ball flows down the main path 740 when the regulation member 721 is in the regulation state, the game ball moves along the flat surface formed on the upper part of the regulation member 721 along the second branch portion 743. It is guided so as to flow down toward the branch path 741.

  A backflow preventing member 730 is pivotally supported between the main path 740 and the branch path 741 by a pivot shaft facing in the front-rear direction. The backflow prevention member 730 is a plate-like member whose upper end is pivotally supported by a pivot, and when a game ball guided on the flat surface of the regulating member 721 comes in contact with the main path 740 side, the branch path from the main path 740 side It can be moved (rotated) so as to be able to pass to the 741 side. Specifically, it is rotatable between a permissible position that inclines so as to open between the main path 740 and the branch path 741 and a restriction position that closes between the main path 740 and the branch path 741. Is provided. A rib 801 projecting forward is provided above the regulating member 721, and the backflow preventing member 730 contacts the rib 801 from the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front in the regulating position.

  Note that the backflow preventing member 730 is normally disposed at a restricted position by its own weight, and at this restricted position, a game ball guided on a flat surface comes into contact with the main path 740 side (right side in front view). When it is pushed by the game ball, it rotates clockwise in front view with the allowable position as the upper limit.

  At this time, the vertical width dimension between the front end portion of the backflow prevention member 730 and the lower portion of the second branch portion 743 changes to be shorter than the diameter of the game ball, and the main path in which the third count switch 24B is provided The game ball is allowed to move from the 740 side to the branch path 741 where the fourth count switch 24C is provided. On the other hand, when the backflow prevention member 730 is in the restricted position, the backflow prevention member 730 is in contact with the rib 801 even if the game ball abuts from the branch path 741 side (left side in front view). The rotation of the member 730 in the counterclockwise direction is restricted. At this time, since the width dimension between the front end portion of the backflow preventing member 730 and the lower portion of the second branch portion 743 is maintained shorter than the diameter of the game ball, the fourth count switch 24C is provided. The movement of the game ball from the branch path 741 side to the main path 740 side where the third count switch 24B is provided is reliably restricted.

  Returning to FIG. 1, a normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7 segments, dot matrix LEDs, and the like, like the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and a plurality of types of identification information different from the special symbols. Is displayed (variable display) so that it can be variably displayed.

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general-purpose hold indicator 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general-purpose hold storage number as the number of effective passing balls that have passed through the passing gate 41. The passing gate 41 is installed between the first special variable winning ball device 7A and the second special variable winning ball device 7B in the special variable winning ball unit 7. A gate switch 21 described later is built in the passage gate 41.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. In addition, a winning opening other than the above-described winning holes may be provided. In the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an out port through which game balls that have not entered any winning port are taken.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a game effect LED 9 is provided at the periphery of the game area. A decorative LED may be arranged around each structure (for example, the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball unit 7 and the like) in the game area of the pachinko gaming machine 1. At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a hitting operation handle (operation knob) operated by a player or the like to launch a game ball as a game medium toward the game area. For example, the hitting operation handle adjusts the resilience of the game ball according to the operation amount (rotation amount) by the player or the like. The hitting operation handle only needs to be provided with a single shot switch or a touch ring (touch sensor) for stopping the driving of a shooting motor included in the hitting ball shooting device.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a game ball paid out as a prize ball or a game ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be supplied to a ball hitting device. )) Is provided. Below the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a lower plate that holds (stores) surplus balls overflowing from the upper plate so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1. A stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by the player is attached to the lower plate member forming the lower plate, for example, at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower plate body (for example, the central portion of the lower plate). ing. The upper plate member that forms the upper plate includes a push button 31B that allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the upper plate body (for example, above the stick controller 31A). Is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the game area is divided into a left game area on the left side and a right game area on the right side of the center decoration frame surrounding the periphery of the effect display device 5 disposed at a substantially central position of the game area. A game ball that has been launched weakly with the batting operation handle (left-handed) flows down the first path (left game area), and a game ball that has been launched more strongly with the batting operation handle (right-handed) (Game area) will flow down.

  The game balls that have flowed down the first path can win the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, and the game balls that have flowed down the second path are the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B and the first special variable. A number of obstacle nails are arranged so that the winning ball device 7A and the second special variable winning ball device 7B can win and pass through the passing gate 41. That is, in the case of left-handed, the first special variable winning ball apparatus 7A and the second special variable winning ball apparatus 7B cannot win, and the passage gate 41 cannot pass.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the normal symbol display 20 executes a normal symbol variation display such that the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2. Normal symbol display based on the fact that the normal diagram start condition for starting the normal symbol variation display is satisfied, for example, that the previous variation variation display has been completed The change display of the usual figure by the vessel 20 is started.

  In this normal variation display, after the normal symbol variation is started, when a predetermined time which is the normal variation time has elapsed, the fixed normal symbol which is the normal symbol variation display result is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (symbol per symbol), such as a number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed normal symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol becomes “per symbol”. On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol, such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is “out of normal”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the variation display result of the normal symbol is “per normal”, the expansion / release control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, when the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied due to the end of the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure variable display by the first special symbol display 4A is started. Further, the second starting condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, due to the previous special figure fluctuation display or the end of the big hit gaming state, the special figure fluctuation display by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the variation display of the special symbol by the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B, after the variation display time as the special symbol variation time has elapsed after starting the variation display of the special symbol, A definite special symbol (variation display result) that is a variation display result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as the specific display result, and a predetermined special symbol (small bonus symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, it becomes “small hit” as a predetermined display result. In addition, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it is “disconnected”.

  After the variation display result in the variation display of the special figure becomes “big hit”, it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also called “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times. The After the variation display result in the variation display of the special figure becomes “small hit”, the small hit game state is controlled as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment, as an example, the special symbol indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” is the big hit symbol, the special symbol indicating the number “2” is the small hit symbol, The special symbol indicating the symbol “−” is used as an off symbol. In addition, each symbol such as a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, and a missing symbol in the special symbol variation display by the first special symbol display 4A is different from each symbol in the special symbol variation display by the second special symbol display 4B. The symbol may be a symbol, or the special symbol common to both special symbols may be a big hit symbol, a small bonus symbol, or a missed symbol.

  After the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a special symbol in the variable display of the special symbol and becomes the “big hit” as the specific display result, the first special winning ball gate device 7A of the first special variable winning ball device 7A in the jackpot gaming state. 701 opens the first big prize opening in a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or a period until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are generated. Thereby, the round which makes the 1st special variable winning ball apparatus 7A the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  The round, which is the opening cycle of the first big prize opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15”, “10”, “5”, etc.). Even before the number of rounds has reached the upper limit, the execution of the round is terminated when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball has not won the first big prize opening). Also good.

  In addition, after the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the specific display result in the special symbol variable display and becomes the “small hit” as the specific display result, in the small hit gaming state, the second special variable winning ball apparatus 7B The second grand prize opening door 711 opens the second big prize opening during a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are generated. State. As a result, the second special variable winning ball device 7B is in a first state (open state) that is advantageous to the player.

  In the present embodiment, in the small hit gaming state, the second grand prize opening door 711 is set to open once until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses. It is not limited, and may be opened multiple times in the small hit gaming state.

  In the small hit game state, when the game ball that has won the second big prize opening passes the third count switch 24B provided in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, the game ball passes through the third count switch 24B. It becomes a "big hit" based on (V winning big hit). That is, the CPU 103 controls the gaming state to the big hit gaming state based on detecting the passing of the gaming ball through the third count switch 24B. On the other hand, when the game ball that has won the second big winning opening in the small hit gaming state passes through the fourth count switch 24C provided in the second special variable winning ball device 7B, it does not become "big hit". In other words, the CPU 103 does not control the gaming state to the big hit gaming state based on detecting the passing of the gaming ball through the fourth count switch 24C.

  Then, when the game ball is controlled to the big hit game state based on the passage of the third count switch 24B, the second special prize winning ball door 711 of the second special variable winning ball device 7B is set to a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds). ) Or the period until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are generated, the second big prize opening is opened. Thereby, the round game which makes the 2nd special variable winning ball apparatus 7B the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed. In this embodiment, when the big hit gaming state is controlled based on the passage of the third count switch 24B, the second special variable winning ball device 7B is controlled to the first state. The invention is not limited to this, and the first special variable winning ball apparatus 7A may be controlled to the first state.

  The round game, which is the opening cycle of the second grand prize opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15”, “5”, etc.). Note that even before the number of executions of the round game reaches the upper limit number, the round game may be ended when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball has not won the second big prize opening). Good.

  In addition, after the end of the big hit gaming state in the present embodiment, the time shortening state in which the time shortening control (time shortening control) is performed within a predetermined range of the number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times or 20 times) and the time shortening control are not performed. It is controlled to either normal state. By performing the time reduction control, the fluctuation display time (special figure fluctuation time) in the special figure fluctuation display is shortened compared to the normal state. The normal state is a normal game state that is different from a specific game state such as a big hit game state, and is an initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, an initialization process after power-on, such as when a system reset is performed) The same control as in the state in which is executed. In the time-saving control, after the end of the big hit gaming state, a special number of fluctuation display is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times or 20 times), the fluctuation display result is “big hit”, What is necessary is just to complete | finish, when any conditions among the game balls passing the 3rd count switch 24B are satisfied previously.

  When the time reduction control is performed, the control for reducing the fluctuation time (special figure fluctuation time) in the fluctuation display of the special figure by the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B as compared with the normal state, The control for shortening the fluctuation time (normal figure fluctuation time) of the normal figure by the symbol display 20 than in the normal state, and the fluctuation display result in the fluctuation display of the usual figure each time is “per normal figure”. The tilt control time for controlling the tilt of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “per normal” is set to the tilt control time in the normal state. The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control for making it longer than the time and control for increasing the number of tilts compared to the normal state, thereby increasing the possibility that the second start condition is satisfied. By the player Advantageous to become control is performed taking. In this way, the control that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening in accordance with the time-shortening control and is advantageous to the player is also referred to as high opening control. As the high opening control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls (including all) may be performed in combination.

  By performing the high opening control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening becomes the expanded opening state is higher than when the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B is easily established, and the special figure variation display can be executed frequently. Next, the time until the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” or “small hit” is shortened. The period during which the high opening control can be performed is also referred to as a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time reduction control is performed. The gaming state in which both the short time control and the high opening control are performed is also referred to as a short time state or a high base state.

The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte structure, and the first byte indicates MODE (command classification), and the second byte indicates EXT (command type). The first bit (bit 7) of the MODE data is always “1”, and the first bit of the EXT data is “0”. The command form shown in FIG. 4A is an example, and other command forms may be used. In this example, the control command is composed of two control signals. However, the number of control signals constituting the control command may be one or a plurality of three or more.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the command 8001H is a first change start command that specifies the start of change in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A. The command 8002H is a second change start command for designating start of change in a special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B. Command 81XXH is an effect that is displayed in a varying manner in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the effect display device 5 in response to the special symbol change display in the special game. This is a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern (variation time) such as a symbol. Here, XXH indicates an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value arbitrarily set according to the instruction content by the effect control command. In the variation pattern designation command, different EXT data is set according to the variation pattern to be designated.

  Command 8CXXH is a variable display result notification command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or effect symbol. In the change display result notification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 4B, a determination result (predetermined result) whether the change display result is “out of”, “big hit” or “small hit”, Different EXT data is set in accordance with a determination result (a jackpot type determination result) as to which of a plurality of types of jackpot types when the variation display result is “big hit”.

  In the variable display result notification command, for example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the command 8C00H is a first variable display result designation command indicating a pre-determined result indicating that the variable display result is “out”. The command 8C01H is a second variable display result designation command for notifying the advance determination result and the big hit type determination result that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “big hit A”. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result designation command for notifying the advance determination result and the big hit type determination result that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “big hit B”. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying a pre-determined result and a big hit type determination result that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “big hit C”. Command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying a predetermined determination result that the variable display result is “small hit A”. The command 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying a predetermined result indicating that the variable display result is “small hit B”.

  The command 8F00H is a symbol confirmation command for designating the stop (decision) of the variation of the effect symbols in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the effect display device 5. The command 95XXH is a gaming state designation command for designating the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the gaming state designation command, for example, different EXT data is set according to the current gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As a specific example, the command 9500H is a first gaming state designation command corresponding to a gaming state in which time reduction control is not performed (low base state, normal state), and the command 9501H is a gaming state in which time reduction control is performed (high base state) , The second gaming state designation command corresponding to the short time state).

  The command 96XXH is an error (abnormality) designation command that designates the occurrence of an error (abnormality) in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the type of the error (abnormality) that has occurred. In the error (abnormality) designation command, for example, EXT data corresponding to each error (abnormality) is set, thereby specifying which error (abnormality) has been determined on the production control board 12 side. The occurrence of the specified error (abnormality) can be notified by an error notification process described later.

  The command A0XXH is a hit start designation command (also referred to as “fanfare command”) for designating display of an effect image indicating the start of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. The command A1XXH is a big winning opening releasing notification command for notifying that the big winning opening is a period in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. The command A2XXH is a notification command after opening the big winning opening that notifies that the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. The command A3XXH is a hit end designation command for designating display of an effect image at the end of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state.

  In the hit start designation command and the hit end designation command, for example, EXT data similar to that of the variable display result notification command is set, so that different EXT data may be set in accordance with the predetermined determination result or the big hit type determination result. . Alternatively, in the hit start designation command or the hit end designation command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the big hit type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result notification command. . In the big winning mouth opening notification command and the big winning mouth opening notification command, different EXT data is set corresponding to the number of rounds executed in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state (for example, “1” to “15”). Is done.

  The command B100H is based on the fact that the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A and a start winning (first start winning) has occurred. The first start opening prize designation command for notifying that the first start condition for executing the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A is established. The command B200H indicates that the game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second start opening switch 22B and a start winning (second start winning) has occurred. Based on this, the second start opening prize designation command is used to notify that the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B is established.

  The command C1XXH is a first reserved memory number notification command for notifying the first special figure reserved memory number so that the special figure reserved memory number can be specified in the first reserved memory display area 5D or the like. The command C2XXH is a second reserved memory number notification command for notifying the second special figure reserved memory number so that the special figure reserved memory number can be specified in the second reserved memory display area 5U or the like. The first reserved memory number notification command is, for example, when the first start opening winning designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first starting winning opening and the first start condition is satisfied. , Transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. The second reserved memory number notification command is, for example, when the second start opening winning designation command is transmitted based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition is satisfied. , Transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In addition, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command are used when the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the reserved memory number decreases). It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution.

  Instead of the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command, a total reserved memory number notification command for notifying the total reserved memory number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command for notifying an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number may be used.

  The command D100 is a V winning notification designation command for notifying that the V winning is achieved, that is, that the third count switch 24B is turned on because the game ball has passed the third count switch 24B.

  The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101 for storing a game control program, fixed data, and the like, and a game control work. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 that provides an area, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103 that executes a control program by executing a game control program, and updates numeric data indicating random values independently of the CPU 103 A random number circuit 104 to be performed, an input / output port (I / O) 105, and a real-time clock (RTC) 106 capable of outputting time information are configured.

  As an example, in the game control microcomputer 100, a process for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed by the CPU 103 executing a program read from the ROM 101. At this time, the CPU 103 reads fixed data from the ROM 101, the CPU 103 writes various fluctuation data to the RAM 102 and temporarily stores the fluctuation data, and the CPU 103 temporarily stores the various fluctuation data. The CPU 103 receives the input of various signals from outside the game control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105, and the CPU 103 goes outside the game control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105. A transmission operation for outputting various signals is also performed.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, on the side of the main board 11, in addition to the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random value MR2 for determining the big hit type, the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, The numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 for determining the normal display result and the random value MR5 for determining the initial value of the MR4 are controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. These random numbers MR1 to MR5 may be counted by updating by software using a different random counter in the CPU 103, or may be updated by the random number circuit 104. The random number circuit 104 may be built in the game control microcomputer 100 or may be configured as a random number circuit chip different from the game control microcomputer 100. Such random numbers used to control the progress of the game are also referred to as game random numbers.

  In this embodiment, the random number values MR1 to MR5 are used as values in the range shown in FIG. 5, but the present invention is not limited to this. The random number values MR1 to MR5 are not limited to this. This range may be varied depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  FIG. 6 shows a variation pattern in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, among the cases where the variation display result is “out of”, the variation display mode of the production symbol is “non-reach” and “reach”. Corresponding to the case where the result is “big hit”, a plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance. Further, one variation pattern is prepared in advance in response to a case where the variation display result is “small hit”. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out of” and the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach” is referred to as a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as “non-reach variation pattern”). A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “out of” and the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “reach” is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as “reach out of variation pattern”). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the deviation fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display result is “out of”. A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “big hit” is referred to as a big hit variation pattern. A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variation display result is “small hit” is referred to as a small hit variation pattern.

  The big hit variation pattern and the reach variation pattern include a normal reach variation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed and a super reach change pattern in which a super reach reach effect such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. In this embodiment, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach α, normal reach β,... The normal reach fluctuation pattern may be provided. Also, in the super reach variation pattern, three or more super reach variation patterns such as super reach γ... In addition to super reach α and super reach β may be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in this embodiment is executed is set shorter than the super reach α and super reach β that are the super reach fluctuation patterns. . In addition, regarding the special figure variation time of the super reach variation pattern in which super reach reach production such as super reach α and super reach β in this embodiment is performed, the variation pattern in which super reach β super reach production is performed. However, the special figure variation time is set longer than the variation pattern in which the super reach production of the super reach α is executed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, since the variation display result is “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the big hit expectation is set higher. In the reach variation pattern, the longer the variation time, the higher the degree of expectation for jackpot.

  In this embodiment, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined by determining the type of the fluctuation pattern first, such as a non-reach type, a normal reach type, a super reach type, etc. Therefore, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, it is determined using only the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided to determine the variation pattern type. The variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type after first determining the variation pattern type from the random value. It is also possible to determine the emissions.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the variation content (effect content) is illustrated in advance for each variation pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. Even if the variation pattern is the same depending on the set value, the variation content (effect content) may be different. For example, in the case of the fluctuation pattern PA2-1 of normal reach deviation, if the set value is 1, the fluctuation pattern is normal deviation, and if the set value is 2, the pseudo-continuous effect is displayed. If the set value is 3 as a variation pattern that is non-reachable when executed twice, a pseudo-continuous effect may be executed three times to obtain a variation pattern that deviates superreach.

  In the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes a program read from the ROM 101, and uses the RAM 102 as a work area, thereby executing various processes for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, the CPU 103 can generate all of various random numbers used on the main board 11 side by executing a random number generation program.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 stores various table data used for controlling the progress of the game. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data constituting a plurality of determination tables shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations and decisions. The ROM 101 also has table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used for the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main board 11, and a variation mode of each symbol in a variation display such as a special symbol or a normal symbol. A variation pattern table for storing a plurality of types of variation patterns is stored.

  The determination table stored in the ROM 101 includes, for example, a display result determination table (setting value 1) shown in FIG. 7A, a display result determination table (setting value 2) shown in FIG. 7B, and FIG. Display result determination table (set value 3), jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) shown in FIG. 8A, jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) shown in FIG. 8B, In addition to the small hit type determination table shown in FIG. 8C, a big hit fluctuation pattern determination table (not shown), a small hit fluctuation pattern determination table (not shown), a deviation fluctuation pattern determination table (not shown), and a normal chart display result determination. A table (not shown), a common figure variation pattern determination table (not shown), and the like are included.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the winning probabilities (the payout rate) for the big hit and the small hit change according to the set value. Specifically, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process described later, the winning probability (the winning rate) for the big hit and the small hit is changed by using a display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value. It has become. The set value consists of three stages of 1 to 3, with 1 being the highest payout rate, and the higher the value in the order of 1, 2 and 3, the lower the payout rate. That is, when 1 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value increases in order of 2, 3, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  FIGS. 7A to 7C are explanatory diagrams illustrating display result determination tables corresponding to the set values. The display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101 and is a table in which a hit determination value to be compared with MR1 is set. In each display result determination table, the variation special figure designation buffer is 1 (first), that is, the case where the first special symbol is subject to fluctuation display, and the variation special figure designation buffer is 2 (second). That is, for each of the cases where the second special symbol is subject to variable display, a determination value for big hit and a determination value for small hit are set.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when the display result determination table corresponding to the set value 1 is used, when the variable special symbol designation buffer is first, that is, the first special symbol is the target of variable display. If the set value is “2” or “3”, the winning combination is won with a higher probability (1/99), and a part of these determination values corresponds to the small hit. By being set as a value, it is configured to win a small hit with a higher probability (1/50) than when the set values are “2” and “3”. When the variation special figure designation buffer is the second, the same determination value as that when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer is the first is set as the decision value corresponding to the big hit, and the second special symbol is set. Even if is subject to variable display, the first special symbol is won with the same probability (1/99) as when subject to variable display, and half of these judgment values are By being set as a determination value corresponding to the small hit, the small special is won with a higher probability (100/200) than when the first special symbol is the target of the variable display.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when the display result determination table corresponding to the setting value 2 is used, when the variation special figure designation buffer is the first, the setting value is “1”. Than the case where the set value is “1” because a big win is won with a lower probability (1/150) and a part of these judgment values is set as a judgment value corresponding to the big hit. Also, it is designed to win a small hit with a low probability (1/99). When the variation special figure designation buffer is the second, the same determination value as that when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer is the first is set as the decision value corresponding to the big hit, and the second special symbol is set. Even if is subject to variable display, the first special symbol will win a big hit with the same probability (1/150) as the case subject to variable display, and half of these judgment values will be By being set as a judgment value corresponding to small hits, the probability is higher than the case where the first special symbol is subject to variable display, and the same probability as when the set value is “1” (100/200) will win a small hit.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, when the display result determination table corresponding to the set value 1 is used and the variation special figure designation buffer is the first, the determination value corresponding to the big hit is set. However, the determination value corresponding to the small hit is not set. Therefore, when the first special symbol is the target of the variable display, the setting value is “1”, “2” than the case where the setting value is “1”. Win a big hit with a low probability (1/200), but don't win a small win (winning probability: 0). When the variation special figure designation buffer is the second, the same determination value as that when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer is the first is set as the decision value corresponding to the big hit, and the second special symbol is set. Even if is subject to variable display, the first special symbol will win a big hit with the same probability (1/200) as when subject to variable display, and half of these judgment values will be By being set as a judgment value corresponding to the small hit, there is a higher probability than the case where the first special symbol is subject to variable display, and the set values are “1” and “2”. Winning a small hit with the same probability (100/200) as in the case.

  That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table corresponding to the set value set at that time, and determines whether one of the MR1 values corresponds to the big hit shown in FIGS. When the values match, it is determined that the special symbol is a big hit (big hit A to big hit C). Further, when MR1 matches one of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hits shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, it is determined that the special symbol is a small hit. That is, the winning of the big hit and the small hit is determined with a probability according to the set value. The “probabilities” shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C indicate the probability (proportion) of being a big hit and the probability (proportion) of being a small hit. Further, deciding whether or not to win a jackpot means deciding whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state. However, the stop symbol in the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B is determined. It also means deciding whether or not to make a jackpot symbol. Further, determining whether or not to make a small hit means determining whether or not to control to the small hit gaming state, but stop in the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B It also means determining whether or not the symbol is to be a small hit symbol.

  In this embodiment, in each of the display result determination tables shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the winning probabilities for the small hits are the same when the variable special figure designation buffer is the second. You may make it the winning probability for small hits decrease in order of values 1, 2, and 3. On the other hand, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer is the first, the winning probability of the small hit is made lower in the order of the setting values 1, 2, and 3, but the same as when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer is the second. In addition, the same winning probability may be used for all set values.

  In this embodiment, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to make a big hit or a small hit using the display result determination table shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C. And the small hit determination table are separately provided, and the determination of the big hit is a common table for the case of the variable display of the first special symbol and the case of the variable display of the second special symbol regardless of the variable special symbol designation buffer. The small hit determination may be performed using separate tables for the case where the variable special figure designation buffer is the first and the second case.

  Further, in this embodiment, when using the display result determination table corresponding to the setting value 3 shown in FIG. 7C and the variation special figure designation buffer is the first, the determination value other than the determination value corresponding to the jackpot Is not set as the judgment value corresponding to the small hit, that is, the small hit is not won, but a part of the judgment value other than the judgment value corresponding to the big hit is set as the judgment value corresponding to the small hit It may be set so that a small hit is won. That is, the fact that the ratio of the small hit probability varies depending on the set value includes that the small hit probability is 0%.

  In this embodiment, a total of three set values of 1 to 3 are provided as set values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 Two or four or more set values may be set.

  FIGS. 8A and 8B are explanatory diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. FIG. Of these, FIG. 8A shows a case where the jackpot type is determined using the reserved memory based on the fact that the game ball has won the first start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed). It is a table. FIG. 8B shows a case where the jackpot type is determined by using the holding memory based on the fact that the game ball has won the second start winning opening (that is, when the second special symbol is displayed in a variable manner). It is a table.

  The big hit type determination table is one of the big hit types A to C based on the random number for determining the hit type (MR2) when it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit symbol. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine.

  FIG. 8C is an explanatory diagram showing a small hit type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The small hit type determination table determines whether the small hit type is small hit A or small hit B based on a random number (MR2) for hit type determination when it is determined that the variable display result is a small hit symbol. It is a table that is referred to in order to determine. In this embodiment, when the game ball passes through the third count switch 24B during the small hit game of the small hit A, that is, when a V winning big hit occurs, the big hit game with the big hit type of the big hit D is executed. When the game ball passes through the third count switch 24B during the small hit game of the small hit B, that is, when a V winning big hit occurs, the big hit game with the big hit type being the big hit E is executed. It has become so. In other words, these big hits D and big hits E are not big hit types determined by the random value MR2 for determining the hit type extracted at the time of starting winning, but the game balls during the small hit games of either the small hit A or the small hit B Is a jackpot type determined by whether or not it has passed through the third count switch 24B.

  Here, the jackpot type in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 9. In this embodiment, as the jackpot type, the jackpot A and jackpot D in which the time-shortening control is not executed after the jackpot gaming state ends, and the jackpot gaming state The big hit B, the big hit C, and the big hit E are set for which the time-shortening control is executed after the end of. That is, out of these big hits A to E, the big hits C and E are the most advantageous big hits for the player, and the big hits A and D are the most disadvantageous big hits for the player. Further, since the big hit E is a big hit that is more advantageous than the big hit D, the small hit B is a small hit that is more advantageous than the small hit A.

  Of these jackpots A to E, the jackpot A is a jackpot that is repeatedly executed five times (so-called five rounds) in which the first jackpot is changed to the second state advantageous to the player. Further, after the big hit game state of the big hit A ends, the time-shortening control is not executed.

  The big hit B is a big hit that is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) in which the first big prize opening is changed to the second state advantageous to the player. In addition, after the big hit game state of the big hit B is finished, the time-shortening control is executed until 20 special figure games are executed or until a big hit occurs again until 20 special figure games are executed.

  The big hit C is a big hit that is repeatedly executed 15 times (so-called 15 rounds) in which the first big prize opening is changed to the second state advantageous to the player. Further, after the big hit game state of the big hit C is finished, the time-shortening control is executed until 100 special figure games are executed or until a big hit occurs again until 100 special figure games are executed.

  The big hit D is a big hit that is repeatedly executed four times (so-called four rounds) to change the second big prize opening to the second state advantageous to the player. Further, after the big hit gaming state of big hit D is completed, the time-shortening control is not executed.

  The big hit E is a big hit that is repeatedly executed 14 times (so-called 14 rounds) for changing the second big prize opening to the second state advantageous to the player. Further, after the big hit game state of the big hit E is finished, the time-shortening control is executed until 100 special figure games are executed or until the big hit occurs again until 100 special figure games are executed.

  Note that the jackpot D and jackpot E have the second winning prize opening 712 as the opening target winning prize, but the present invention is not limited to this. May be the first grand prize opening. That is, for the big hit D and the big hit E, the second big prize opening 712 is opened for the small hit game, and the second big prize opening 712 as the big hit game is based on the occurrence of the V prize during the small hit game. Instead of opening the first big prize opening.

  In the short-time state, the probability of being “per normal” increases, so that small hits are more likely to occur than in the normal state. For this reason, in the short-time state, there is a case where a big hit occurs as a result of displaying the variation of the second special symbol, and there is a case where a big win occurs when a game ball wins a V during a small hit game. This is a so-called villa state that is likely to occur continuously without going through the state.

  In the short-time state after the big hit game of the big hit B, the number of special figure games for which the short-time control is executed is set to 20, so that a small hit occurs during the 20 special figure games, and the game The ratio at which the ball passes through the third count switch 24B (the ratio at which the game ball wins V and generates a big hit during the 20 special figure games) is set to about 50%. On the other hand, in the short-time state after the big hit game of the big hit C and big hit E, the number of special figure games for which the short-time control is executed is set to 100 times, so a small hit occurs during the 100 special figure games. The ratio at which the game ball passes through the third count switch 24B (the ratio at which the game ball wins V and generates a big hit during the 100 special figure games) is set to almost 100%.

  In this embodiment, five types of jackpots A to E are provided as jackpot types, but the present invention is not limited to this, and six or more jackpot types may be provided. Four or less types may be provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the big hit type determination table (for the first special symbol), when the set value is “1”, the MR2 determination value ranges from 0 to 299. Up to 49 are assigned to jackpot A, 50 to 149 are assigned to jackpot B, and 150 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C. Further, when the set value is “2”, in the MR2 determination value range 0 to 299, 0 to 99 are assigned to the big hit A, and 100 to 249 are assigned to the big hit B, 250 to 299 are assigned to the big hit C. When the set value is “3”, 0 to 149 are assigned to the big hit A, and 150 to 249 are assigned to the big hit B in the MR2 determination value range 0 to 299. 250 to 299 are assigned to the big hit C.

  In this way, when a big hit occurs in the special symbol game of the first special symbol, the ratio of determining the big hit B or the big hit C for which the time reduction control is executed at the end of the big hit game is low in the order of the setting values 1, 2, and 3. It is trying to become.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol), when the set value is “1”, the MR2 determination value range 0 to 299 is 0. Up to 29 are assigned to jackpot A, 30 to 99 are assigned to jackpot B, and 100 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C. Further, when the set value is “2”, among the MR2 determination value ranges 0 to 299, 0 to 69 are assigned to the big hit A, and 70 to 269 are assigned to the big hit B, 270 to 299 are assigned to the big hit C. When the set value is “3”, 0 to 199 are assigned to the big hit A, and 200 to 269 are assigned to the big hit B out of the MR2 determination value range 0 to 299. 270 to 299 are assigned to the big hit C.

  In this way, when a big hit occurs in the special symbol game of the second special symbol, the ratio of determining the big hits B and C at which the time reduction control is executed at the end of the big hit game is the big hit in the special symbol game of the first special symbol It is higher than the case where the occurrence occurs, and becomes lower in the order of the setting values 1, 2, and 3.

  That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, when the set value is 1, the ratio of determining the big hit type as the big hit C is the highest, Next, the ratio of determining the big hit B is high, and the ratio of determining the big hit A is the lowest (the big hit type determining ratio at the setting value 1: big hit C> big hit B> big hit A). When the set value is 2, when the big hit type is the big hit B, the decision rate is the highest, then the big hit A is decided at a high rate, and the big hit C is decided at the lowest rate (the set value). Big hit type determination ratio in 2: Big hit B> Big hit A> Big hit C). Further, when the set value is 3, the ratio of determining the jackpot type as the jackpot A is the highest, then the ratio of determining the jackpot B is high, and the ratio of determining the jackpot C is the lowest. (Big hit type determination ratio at setting value 3: big hit A> big hit B> big hit C).

  In this embodiment, according to the set value, the mode of determining the big hit type when the variable display result is a big hit is determined at different ratios from the big hit A, big hit B, and big hit C. The present invention is not limited to this, and there may be one or a plurality of jackpot types that have not been determined among jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C depending on the set value. In other words, depending on the set value, the determination rate of the jackpot type is different, either one of the jackpot types is not determined (the determination rate is 0%), or the specific jackpot type is 100% Included in determining by percentage.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, in the small hit type determination table, when the set value is “1”, 0 to 99 in the range 0 to 299 of the MR2 determination value is small hit A. And 100 to 299 are assigned to the small hit B. Also, when the set value is “2”, 0 to 149 are assigned to the small hit A in the MR2 determination value range 0 to 299, and 150 to 299 are assigned to the small hit B. Yes. Also, when the set value is “3”, 0 to 199 are assigned to the small hit A out of the MR2 determination value range 0 to 299, and 200 to 299 are assigned to the small hit B. Yes.

  As described above, when a V-winning big win occurs during the small hit game, the ratio of determining the big hit E in which the number of special-purpose games for which the time-shortening control is executed after the big hit game is 100 is 20 times. It is higher than the ratio for determining the big hit D and decreases in the order of the set values 1, 2, and 3.

  That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the set value is 1, the small hit type B is determined at a higher ratio than the small hit A as the small hit type. As a result, the ratio that the big hit type is determined to be the big hit E based on the occurrence of the V prize during the small hit game is higher than the ratio that is determined to the big hit D (the big win by the V winning at the set value 1) Type determination ratio: jackpot E> jackpot D). Also, if the set value is 2, the small hit type is determined at the same rate as the small hit A and the small hit B, so that a V prize is generated during the small hit game. The ratio that the big hit type is determined to be the big hit D and the ratio that is determined to the big hit E are equal to each other (the big hit type determination ratio by the V winning at the setting value 2: big hit E = big hit D). Further, when the set value is 3, when the small hit type is determined at a higher ratio than the small hit B as the small hit type, the V winning is generated during the small hit game. The ratio at which the jackpot type is determined to be the jackpot D is higher than the ratio at which the jackpot E is determined (the jackpot type determination ratio by the V winning at the set value 1: jackpot D> jackpot E).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the determination ratio of the jackpot type when the variable display result is a big hit and the determination ratio of the jackpot type when a V prize is generated differ according to the set value set. In other words, the type of the small hit gaming state that is controlled according to the set value is changed, and the type of the big hit gaming state that is controlled when the V winning is generated may change. It is designed to improve the fun of playing games.

  In this embodiment, the determination rate of the small hit type differs depending on the set value that is set. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and depending on the set value that is set, Among hits A and small hits B, there may be small hit types that are not determined. In other words, the determination rate of the small hit type differs depending on the set value, that one of the small hit types is not determined (the determination rate is 0%), that is, the other small hit type It also includes determining the type at a rate of 100%. Further, in the present embodiment, although the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart, the small hit type is determined using the common small hit type determination table. The present invention is not limited to this, and the determination ratio of the small hit type may be different depending on whether the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart. When the small hit types are determined at different ratios according to the variation special chart, there may be small hit types that are not determined among the small hit A and the small hit B depending on the fluctuation special chart. In other words, in order to determine the small hit type at a different ratio according to the fluctuation chart, one of the small hit types is not determined (the determination ratio is 0%), that is, the other small hit type is determined. It also includes determining at a rate of 100%.

  In this embodiment, the big hit type and the small hit type are determined using MR2, which is a random value for determining the big hit type. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the big hit type and the small hit type are determined. At least one of the types may be determined using MR1 which is a random value for determining the special figure display result.

  Further, in this embodiment, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is, the more advantageous for the player (the higher the big hit probability or the small hit probability, the big hit C as the big hit type or the small hit type as the small hit type). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the larger the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is, the more advantageous it is for the player. It may be.

  In the present embodiment, the big hit probability and the small hit probability change according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, while the game itself does not change as shown in FIGS. Although the form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the gameability may be changed according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  For example, when the set value set to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the game performance (so-called probability variation loop type) in which the big hit probability in the normal state loops at a rate of 1/320 and the probability variation state is 65%, When the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine is 2, the big hit probability in the normal state is 1/200, and the big hit game is based on the fact that the game ball passes the third count switch 24B during the big hit game. While the gaming state after the end is controlled to a probable variation state, a game play (so-called V-probability variation type) in which the proportion of the game ball passing through the third count switch 24B during the big hit game according to the fluctuation special figure is changed to a pachinko game. When the set value set in the machine 1 is 3, the big hit probability is 1/320 and the small hit probability is 1/50, and the game ball is in the third count switch during the high base (during short time control). 4B may be used as a game of (so-called one two-kind mixed type) which controls the jackpot gaming state based on passing. Furthermore, although the set values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are the same as 1 to 3 and the game is the same, the big hit probability and the small hit probability are higher than those in the case where these set values are any one of 1 to 3. Thus, a setting may be provided in which the number of prize balls that can be acquired during the big hit game is small (for example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4).

  Further, in this way, when the gameability is changed according to the set value, a common switch may be used for different applications. Specifically, in the above example, when the set value is 1 or 4, the third count switch 24B is switched to the effect switch (a predetermined effect is executed every time the game ball passes the third count switch 24B). When the set value is 2 or 3, the third count switch 24B is used as a gaming switch (the game state is changed based on the fact that the game ball has passed the third count switch 24B) It may be used as a switch for controlling to the big hit gaming state.

  The ROM 101 also stores a variation pattern determination table for determining a variation pattern based on the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination. The variation pattern is selected from among the above-described plural types according to the predetermined determination result. Determine one of the fluctuation patterns.

A jackpot variation pattern determination table that is used when it is determined in advance and a variation pattern determination table for loss that is used when it is determined in advance that the variation display result is “out”. ing.

  In the big hit variation pattern determination table, variation patterns of normal reach big hit variation pattern (PB1-1), super reach α big hit variation pattern (PB1-2), and super reach β big hit variation pattern (PB1-3) are included. On the other hand, a predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value in a range that can be taken by the random number value MR3 for variation pattern determination.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (A) and FIG. 10 (B), as the big hit variation pattern determination table, the big hit variation pattern determination table (for big hit A) used when the big hit type is big hit A, A big hit variation pattern judgment table (for big hit B and big hit C) to be used when the big hit type is for big hit B and big hit C is prepared in advance. These big hit variation pattern judgment tables (for big hit A) The big hit fluctuation pattern determination table (for big hit B and big hit C) includes a fluctuation pattern for normal reach big hit (PB1-1), a fluctuation pattern for super reach α big hit (PB1-2), and a fluctuation pattern for super reach β big hit (PB1). -3) For each variation pattern, a predetermined random value out of the range that the variation pattern determination random value MR3 can take is It is assigned as a judgment value.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, in the big hit variation pattern determination table (for big hit A), when the set value is “1”, 0 to 300 in the MR3 determination value range 0 to 997. Is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-1) of normal reach big hit, 301 to 800 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) of super reach α big, and 801 to 997 are assigned to the super reach β big hit It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3). When the set value is “2”, in the MR3 determination value range 0 to 997, 0 to 350 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-1) for the normal reach big hit, and 351 to 825 are assigned. It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) per super reach α big, and 826 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) per super reach β big. When the set value is “3”, in the MR3 determination value range 0 to 997, 0 to 400 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-1) for normal reach big hit, and 401 to 850 are assigned. It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) per super reach α big, and 851 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) per super reach β big.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, in the big hit variation pattern determination table (for big hit B and big hit C), when the set value is “1”, the MR3 determination value ranges from 0 to 997. Up to 100 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-1) for normal reach big hit, 101 to 350 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) for super reach α big hit, and 351 to 997 are super reach. It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) per β big hit. When the set value is “2”, 0 to 150 of the MR3 determination value range 0 to 997 is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-1) of the normal reach big hit, and 151 to 450 are assigned. It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) per super reach α big, and 451 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) per super reach β big. When the set value is “3”, 0 to 200 of the MR3 determination value range 0 to 997 is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-1) of the normal reach big hit, and 201 to 550 are assigned. It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) per super reach α big, and 551 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) per super reach β big hit.

  Thus, when the big hit A is won in the special figure game, the ratio of determining the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) of the super reach α big hit is the ratio of determining the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) of the super reach β big hit Higher and lower in the order of setting values 1, 2, and 3. In addition, when the big hit B or big hit C is won in the special game, the ratio of determining the fluctuation pattern (PB1-3) for the super reach β big hit determines the fluctuation pattern (PB1-2) for the super reach α big hit. It is higher than the ratio and decreases in the order of setting values 1, 2, and 3.

  In other words, in this embodiment, when the big hit type is “big hit B” or “big hit C”, the super reach β is easily determined, and the big hit type is “big hit A”. Is assigned so that the super reach α is easily determined, so that when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β is executed, the player may be in a “big hit B” or “big hit C”. Can increase expectations.

  Further, in the variation pattern determination table for small hits, a predetermined random value out of a range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination with respect to the variation pattern of the variation pattern (PC1-1) for small hits is a determination value. Assigned as. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10C, in the small hit variation pattern determination table, the MR3 determination value is used regardless of whether the set value is “1”, “2”, or “3”. In the range of 0 to 997, 0 to 997 are assigned to the small hit variation pattern (PC1-1). Although only PC1-1 is provided as the small hit variation pattern in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more variation patterns are provided as the small hit variation pattern. The small hit variation pattern may be determined from the plurality of variation patterns at different ratios with the setting values “1”, “2”, and “3”.

Are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of normal reach (PA2-1), 701 to 900 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of superreach α (PA2-2), and 901 to 997 are the fluctuation pattern of deviation of superreach β. (PA2-3).

  Further, in the deviation variation pattern determination table D, the shortened non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-4), the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super reach α variation variation pattern corresponding to the time reduction control. (PA2-2), a predetermined random value is assigned as a determination value in a range that can be taken by the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern with respect to the variation pattern (PA2-3) out of super reach β.

(PA2-3).

  As described above, when the deviation variation pattern determination tables A to D are used, the ratio for determining the non-reach variation pattern or the normal reach variation pattern is higher than that for determining the super reach variation pattern, and the set values 1, 2, It becomes lower in order of 3. In addition, when using the deviation variation pattern determination tables A to D, regardless of the variation pattern determination table, among the determination values, 701 to 900 are super-reach α variation patterns, and 901 to 997 are super-reach β deviations. If each of the fluctuation patterns is assigned, that is, if the fluctuation display result is out of place, the super reach fluctuation pattern is determined at a common determination rate regardless of the set value. It is possible to prevent the presentation effect from deteriorating due to the fact that the variable display by is not executed.

  Note that the “common determination ratio” in the present embodiment is the one in which the determination ratio is completely the same at different setting values (this embodiment), and the determination ratio is the same at different setting values ( For example, between the set value 1 and the set value 3, the determination ratio of the variation pattern of the super reach differs by about 1%).

  In the present embodiment, when the variation display result is out of place, the embodiment in which the determination ratio of the variation pattern of the super reach is the same regardless of the set value is set. However, if the fluctuation display result is out of place, the determination ratio of all fluctuation patterns of non-reach, normal reach, and super reach may be the same regardless of the set value. In addition, only the determination ratio of the variation pattern of non-reach or normal reach may be the same.

  In the present embodiment, when the fluctuation display result is out of place, both the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α and the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the deviation of the super reach β regardless of the set value are set. Although the same form is illustrated regardless of the set value that is set, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the fluctuation display result is out of place, the super reach α has a fluctuation pattern of deviation. The determination ratio and the super reach β may be the same regardless of the set value in which only one of the determination ratios of the deviation variation pattern is set.

  In the present embodiment, when the fluctuation display result is out of place, both the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α and the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the deviation of the super reach β regardless of the set value are set. Although the same form is illustrated regardless of the set value that is set, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when the variable display result is a big hit, the set value is set. Regardless of the set value, the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern per super reach jackpot may be the same.

  In the present embodiment, when the variation display result is out of place, the mode of determining the non-reach and normal reach variation patterns depending on the set value is exemplified, but it is set. Depending on the set value, there may be one or a plurality of undecided variation patterns among the non-reach variation pattern and the normal reach variation pattern. In other words, the fact that the determination ratio of the variation pattern varies depending on the set value is that any variation pattern is not determined (the determination proportion is 0%) or a specific variation pattern is 100%. It is also included to determine at a rate of

  As shown in FIG. 11, the non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern (PA1-2) has a shorter fluctuation time than the non-reduction deviation fluctuation pattern (PA1-1), and the fluctuation pattern (PA1). The non-reach deviation fluctuation pattern (PA1-3) has a shorter fluctuation time than -2). Therefore, when the number of reserved memories increases, the non-reach deviation variation pattern with a short variation time is determined, so that the reserved memories are easily digested, and the number of reserved memories reaches the upper limit of 4. When the start prize is won, it becomes difficult to generate useless start prizes that are not reserved, and when the number of reserved memories decreases, the fluctuation time is long and there is no non-reach fluctuation By determining the pattern (PA1-1), it becomes possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game due to the fact that the variable display is not executed by increasing the time for the variable display.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C, an example of determining a variation pattern using a variation pattern determination table for detachment that differs depending on the total number of pending storages is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of reserved memories in the special symbol to be changed (for example, when the variable display of the first special symbol is executed, the number of reserved memories in the first special symbol, the second When the special symbol variation display is executed, the variation pattern may be determined by using a variation pattern determination table for detachment that differs depending on the number of second special symbols to be stored.

  Moreover, in each deviation pattern determination table of this embodiment, even if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any numerical value of 1 to 3, the super reach deviation fluctuation pattern (PA2-2) And PA2-3) have the same range of random numbers. However, since the jackpot probability and the off probability differ depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the rate at which the fluctuation display is actually executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach deviation (super reach deviation deviation) The appearance rate of the variation pattern is different depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the present embodiment, the mode in which the change display is executed in accordance with the change pattern of super-reach according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is exemplified. In consideration of the jackpot probability and the probability of deviation for each set value, regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the fluctuation display is a super-reach deviation variation pattern. May be executed.

  The RAM 102 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 may be a backup RAM that is partially or entirely backed up by a backup power supply created on a predetermined power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 102 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). The In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as a special figure process flag) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls may be stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game.

  The RAM 102 is provided with a game control data holding area 150 as shown in FIG. 12, for example, as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Yes. The game control data holding area 150 shown in FIG. 12 includes a first special figure hold storage unit 151A, a second special figure hold storage unit 151B, a general figure hold storage unit 151C, a game control flag setting unit 152, and a game. A control timer setting unit 153, a game control counter setting unit 154, and a game control buffer setting unit 155 are provided.

  The first special figure holding storage unit 151A has not yet started although the game ball has passed (entered) through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the start winning (first start winning) has occurred. On-hold data of a special figure game (a special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit 151A associates the reservation number with the winning order (game ball detection order) to the first start winning opening, and sets the first start condition in the passage (entrance) of the game ball. Based on the establishment, the random number value MR1 for variation display result determination, the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination, the numerical data indicating the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination, etc., which are extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103, are reserved data. This is stored until the stored number reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). The hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit 151A in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended, and the fluctuation display result (special figure display) in this special figure game. On the basis of the result), it becomes the hold information that makes it possible to determine whether or not to make a big hit.

Is newly added, on the other hand, when the first change start command is received based on the start of the change of the first special figure, the highest (of the hold indications in the first hold storage display area 5D ( Update the hold display so that the round white display of the hold memory that was awarded first is erased and the other round white display is shifted (moved) in a predetermined direction (for example, left). To do. Similarly, when the second start opening winning designation command is received based on the start winning at the second start winning opening, a round white display is newly added to the hold display in the second hold storage display area 5U. On the other hand, when the second variation start command is received based on the fact that the variation of the second special figure has been newly started, the highest (firstmost) of the pending displays in the second reserved storage display area 5U The white display of the hold-type memory that has won the start-up) is erased, and the hold-up display is updated so that the other round white display is shifted (moved) in a predetermined direction (for example, the left direction).

  Here, the display of the total of game balls and the ratio of the bonuses on the main board 11 of the present embodiment will be described.

  The main board 11 has information relating to game winnings, for example, the number of winning balls by winning at the first starting opening (hews), the number of winning balls by winning at the second starting winning opening (electrical chew), and the first grand prize. The number of winning balls and the total number of winning balls are input and the number of fired balls is counted, and the display monitor 29 counts the first winning hole and the second winning hole out of the total number of winning balls. The ratio (%), which is the ratio of the number of winning balls for winning the two major winning holes (attackers), and the number of winning balls for winning the second starting winning opening (Den Chu) out of the total number of winning balls The ratio (%), which is the ratio of the number of winning balls by winning the winning prize mouth and the second winning opening (attacker), and the base (%), which is the ratio of the total number of winning balls to the number of played balls It is supposed to be displayed. The consecutive ratio is the ratio of the total number of prize balls occupied by the number of prize balls (the number of consecutive consecutive feature winning balls) obtained by winning the first big prize opening and the second big prize opening (attacker). The role ratio means the number of winning balls in the second starting winning opening (Den Chu) out of the total number of winning balls and the number of winning balls in winning the first and second winning winning openings (attackers) ( It is the ratio of the following number of winning balls). The base is the ratio of the number of game balls launched to the total number of prize balls. The total number of winning balls (the total number of winning balls below) is based on the number of winning balls in the 1st Grand Prize Winner and the 2nd Grand Prize Winner (Attacker) and the 2nd starting prize opening (Den Chu) Number of winning balls and winning balls by winning in winning holes (first starting prize opening, general winning prize opening) other than the first big prize opening, the second big prize winning opening (Attacker), and the second starting winning prize opening (Den Chu) The sum of numbers. The first grand prize opening, the second big prize opening (attacker), and the second starting prize opening (electrical chew) are variable actors, and the winning range of the game ball is changed by changing the passable width of the game ball. It is an accessory whose expected ratio varies. In addition, the winning openings (first starting winning opening, general winning opening) other than the first winning opening, the second winning opening (attacker), and the second starting winning opening (Den Chu) are fixed roles, The passable width of the ball is fixed, and the expected winning percentage of the game ball is a fixed character.

  As for the calculation and calculation method of information related to game winnings, the number of winning balls for winning the first starting hole (heso) and the general winning opening (sode) in the number of winning balls of 6000 is as follows. (The number of general prize balls), the number of normal electric winning award balls (number of electric chew prize balls), which is the number of prize balls won by winning the second starting prize opening (Den Chu), the 1st grand prize award and the 2nd big prize award The number of special electoral award balls (attacker ball number), which is the number of winning balls for winning (attacker), is counted. The total is set as one set, and the continuous ratio (%) and the winning ratio (%) for 10 sets, that is, 60000 pieces are calculated. In addition, the number of award balls (general award ball number), the number of ordinary electric award balls (the number of electric chew award balls), and the special electric roles The number of winning balls (the number of attacker winning balls) is recorded in a ring buffer provided for each set value, and has a recording capacity of at least 11 sets, and is updated every set. Yes. In other words, the storage of 11 sets of 6000 is stored in an equivalent amount (for example, several bytes), and the cumulative ratio (%) and role ratio (%) can be calculated. As for the base, the number of game balls launched for 60000 prize balls is counted. The total is set as one set, and the ratio (base (%)) of 60000 prize balls to the number of game balls launched is calculated.

  The display monitor 29 has a base (%) calculated based on the continuous ratio (%), the winning ratio (%), the cumulative connecting ratio (%), the winning ratio (%), and 60000 prize balls. Base 1 (%)) and the base (base 2 (%)) calculated based on the immediately preceding 60000 prize balls can be switched and displayed every predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). That is, six displays are switched and displayed by one display means. In this case, it takes 30 seconds to display all, but the number of award balls by winning at the first start opening (hemo) counted by the progress of the game, winning at the second start winning opening (electric chew) The number of winning balls due to, and the number of winning balls due to winning at the first grand prize winning opening and the second big winning prize opening (attacker) will change. Then, for example, if the number of prize balls won after displaying the continuous ratio (%) for 6000 is reflected in the ratio (%) for 60000 displayed after that, There may be a discrepancy between the continuous ratio (%) and the duty ratio (%) for 60000 pieces. Therefore, the number of winning balls by winning at the first starting opening (hews), the number of winning balls by winning at the second starting winning opening (Den Chu), winning at the first winning opening and the second winning opening (attacker) If the number of award balls and the total number of award balls are input and totaled at a predetermined timing in the switching display (for example, a display timing of 6000 consecutive ratios (%), etc.), such a discrepancy is caused. Can be prevented.

  The storage area for storing information related to game winnings in this embodiment is provided for each set value, and includes a general winning prize ball, a first start opening prize ball, an ordinary electric prize ball, and a special electric prize. The ball, the winning ball total, and the driving total are stored in a storage area (ring buffer) corresponding to the set value. For this reason, the connection ratio, role ratio, and base of this embodiment can be calculated individually for each set value.

  As an example of the calculation method, the total number of winning balls is 60000, and the number of winning balls by winning in the second start winning opening (Den Chu) and the first big winning opening and the second big winning opening (attacker) A method of calculating the bonus rate (role ratio (%)) in the case where the number of winning ball winnings, which is the sum of the number of winning balls due to winning, is 42,000 will be described. In the following description, the total number of acquired balls refers to the total number of game media (prize balls) paid out from the pachinko gaming machine 1. In addition, the number of winning balls acquired means the total number of game media paid out by winning the game media to the attacker and the electric chew. In addition, the number of consecutively-acquired balls acquired is the cumulative number of game media paid out when the game media wins an attacker. The total number of hits refers to the cumulative number of game media that have been put into the pachinko gaming machine 1 until the number of prize balls reaches 60000. For this reason, a connection ratio can be calculated | required by following (1) Formula. Further, the role ratio can be obtained by the following equation (2). The base can be obtained by the following equation (3).

  Connection ratio = [number of consecutive winning balls / total number of winnings] × 100 (1)

  Ratio = [(number of consecutive feature winning balls + number of winning balls) / total winning number] × 100 (2)

  Base = [60000 (total number of winning balls) / total number of shots] × 100 (3)

  In the case where the total number of winning balls is 60000 and the number of winning balls is 42,000, the accessory ratio is calculated as 0.70 (3 digits after the decimal point rounded down) by dividing 42000 by 60000. However, since the microcomputer used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 cannot perform the arithmetic operation after the decimal point, the operation by the following method is required.

  First, the first calculation method will be described. In the first calculation method, first, the number of winning characters is multiplied by 100 to 4200000. Then, 4200000 is divided by 60000. As a result, 70 is obtained as a quotient. From the 70 obtained here, the ratio of the actors is obtained as 70%. That is, by multiplying the dividend by 100, it is possible to obtain a calculation result up to two decimal places. Here, when the calculation result up to three digits after the decimal point is obtained, it may be multiplied by 1000.

  Next, the second calculation method will be described. In the second calculation method, first, the total number of prize balls is divided by 100 to obtain 600. Then, 42000 is divided by 600. As a result, 70 is obtained as a quotient. From the 70 obtained here, the ratio of the actors is obtained as 70%. That is, by dividing the divisor by 100, it is possible to obtain the calculation result up to two decimal places. Here, when the calculation result up to 3 digits after the decimal point is obtained, it may be divided by 1000.

  In the example described above, the total number of prize balls is 60000, but in order to calculate a long-term bonus rate, a 3-byte area is provided as an area for storing the total number of prize balls. That is, in this example, 00EA60h is stored in the 3-byte storage area. Similarly, 00A410h is stored in the 3-byte storage area for the number of winning balls acquired.

  Here, the microcomputer used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can only perform operations between values of up to 2 bytes. Therefore, in order to facilitate the calculation, the lower 1 byte may be truncated.

  Here, a third calculation method performed by simplifying the second calculation method will be described. In the third calculation method, in order to facilitate calculation with the microcomputer used in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the lower 1 byte of 60h is rounded down to 00EAh for the total number of prize balls of 00EA60h. Calculate 234 in decimal notation. Similarly, 10h of the lower 1 byte is rounded down to 00A410h of the winning character acquisition ball number, and the winning character acquisition ball number is 00A4h, that is, 164 is calculated in decimal notation.

  Then, similarly to the second calculation method, 2 is calculated by dividing the total number of winning balls by 100 (273/100). Then, 156 is divided by 2 to obtain 78 as a quotient. From the 78 obtained here, the ratio of the actors is obtained as 78%.

  In the third calculation method, calculation with a microcomputer used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is facilitated, but an error of + 12% occurs. However, the error when the total number of winning balls and the number of winning balls is 10 times is + 1%. That is, the error is reduced as the period for calculating the accessory ratio becomes longer, and approximates the original value.

  The substrate case 201 is made of a light-transmitting material so that the main substrate 11 and the display monitor 29 are visible. The board case 201 is formed with a hole (not shown) through which a wiring connector connected to the main board 11 is inserted, and a heat radiating hole for releasing heat of electrical components of the main board 11. The display monitor 29 provided on the main board 11 is arranged at a position where the heat radiation hole is not directly in front. Therefore, the visibility of the display monitor 29 is not blocked by the heat radiating holes. Here, “directly in front” means directly in front of the main board 11 as a viewpoint, and means between the main board 11 and an employee who wants to visually recognize the main board 11. Here, the microcomputer used in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can only perform operations between values of up to 2 bytes. Therefore, in order to facilitate the calculation, the lower 1 byte may be truncated.

  Here, a third calculation method performed by simplifying the second calculation method will be described. In the third calculation method, in order to facilitate calculation with the microcomputer used in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the lower 1 byte of 60h is rounded down to 00EAh for the total number of prize balls of 00EA60h. Calculate 234 in decimal notation. Similarly, 10h of the lower 1 byte is rounded down to 00A410h of the winning character acquisition ball number, and the winning character acquisition ball number is 00A4h, that is, 164 is calculated in decimal notation.

  Then, similarly to the second calculation method, 2 is calculated by dividing the total number of winning balls by 100 (273/100). Then, 156 is divided by 2 to obtain 78 as a quotient. From the 78 obtained here, the ratio of the actors is obtained as 78%.

  Storage area for storing information related to game winning (ring buffer, 10 set total buffer (total of information related to game winning stored in ring buffer having 10 counters of 2 bytes at maximum), prize ball The total number buffer) may be stored continuously without being initialized when the reset button is operated. The ring buffer will be further described later. Note that the checksum of the stored value is calculated, and if an abnormality is detected, initialization is performed, the value of the number of winning balls is greater than the value of the total number of winning balls stored, Initialization of the storage area for storing information related to game winnings when an event that cannot occur as a situation is detected, such as when the number of consecutive feature-acquired balls is greater than the number of acquired balls Processing may be performed. Further, an error display or warning display may be performed without performing the initialization process, or an error display or warning display may be performed, or the initialization process may be performed after being performed. The error display and warning display will be further described later.

  For example, assuming that the total number of acquired balls is 34321 and the number of winning balls is 19876, 34321 are divided as a divisor for 19876 and the ratio is calculated. 1987/34321 = 0.57912... It is calculated that the role ratio (%) is about 57.9%. When calculation is performed in the game control microcomputer 100, calculation with a decimal point must be avoided, so the calculation formula is replaced with the following. In the division of 19876/34321, 34321 of the denominator is divided by 100, and the decimal point is rounded down to be 19876/343 = 57.9475. Since the fractional part is rounded down, it is calculated that the ratio is 57% (%) and is displayed on the display monitor 29. In this example, the value calculated by accurate calculation is an error on the display. There will be no.

  The minimum value in 16 bits is 32768 (the value other than the value of the most significant bit is 0), and the value with the maximum error is when the total number of acquired balls and the number of acquired balls are 32799 respectively. If this is calculated by the above method, 32799/32799 = 100%, and if replaced by the calculation by the game control microcomputer 100, 32799/327 = 100.3%, which is an error of + 0.3%. When the calculation is performed with the decimal point rounded down, for example, when the accurate value is 69.9% and the value calculated by the game control microcomputer is 70.1%, 69% → 70% on the display. % Error may be displayed, but even in the display of 1% error, the duty ratio (%) (or continuous ratio (%)) can be displayed with a very small error.

  In addition, when the above calculation method is used, the total number of acquired balls is divided by 100. Therefore, when the total number of acquired balls is less than 100, the calculation cannot be performed. Further, the error gradually increases even when it is less than 32768. If it is less than 10,000, the error may exceed 1%, resulting in a larger error. That is, the smaller the total number of acquired balls, the larger the error. For this reason, until the total number of acquired balls of a specific number or more (for example, 32768 which is the minimum value of 16 bits) is counted by a counter, the display of the role (%) and the continuous ratio (%) is not performed on the display monitor. Even if the display is performed, the fact that the error may be large may be notified by emitting light from a dedicated LED, outputting a notification sound, or blinking the displayed value.

  The display monitor 29 displays the role ratio (%), the connection ratio (%), and the base (%) on 7 segments, and switches each value at a predetermined period (for example, every 5 seconds). To display. In this case, for example, while the role ratio (%) is displayed for 5 seconds, an event occurs in which a new game medium wins an electric chew or an attacker, and the value calculated accordingly is changed to a continuous ratio ( %), There is a possibility that the value of the combination ratio (%) and the combination (%) may deviate. For this reason, it is preferable that the role ratio (%) and the connection ratio (%) are calculated in the same interrupt and are sequentially displayed.

  In addition, when the numerical value that can be displayed in 7 segments is 2 digits (for example, when two 7 segments are provided), it becomes impossible to display 100% as 100. In this case, 99 may be displayed instead of 100. In the display monitor 29 shown in FIG. 14A, numerical values can be displayed in the lower two digits, but even in this case, the numerical values may be displayed without using the upper two digits. Alternatively, numerical values may be displayed in a part of the upper two digits under specific conditions.

  In the present embodiment, the form in which the game medium is won by the sensors provided in the attacker and the electric chew is detected, and the number of the respective winning balls is individually counted based on the detection result. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a sensor provided after the discharge passage through which the game medium won by the attacker and the game medium won by the electric chew merge is used as the detection result. On the basis of this, it is possible to count the number of winning characters and the number of consecutive winning characters.

  Hereinafter, the connection ratio, the role ratio, and the base display will be described more specifically. In the present embodiment, the main board 11 is provided on the back side of the game board 2 (see FIG. 1). In addition to the main board 11, peripheral boards such as the effect control board 12 are also provided on the back side of the game board 2.

  The RAM 102 on the main board 11 includes a gate passage number counter, a first starting winning number counter, a second starting winning number counter, a first general winning number counter, a second general winning number counter, a third general winning number counter, a fourth counter A general winning number counter and a large winning number counter are provided.

  Note that a clear switch (not shown) is connected to the main board 11. The clear switch is arranged on the back side surface of the game board 2 at a position where an employee or the like cannot easily operate. By operating the clear switch, data used for the connection ratio and the role ratio stored in the RAM 102 described later is cleared. The clear switch is a switch that is operated when the calculation of the link ratio and the role ratio has to be performed again, such as when a failure occurs in the calculation of the link ratio and the role ratio. For this reason, it is a switch that does not need to be operated when collecting data for calculating a normal linkage ratio and a hand ratio. When the clear switch is operated, a clear switch operation signal is transmitted to the main board 11 in addition to clearing data.

  The main board 11 is provided with the RTC 106 as described above, and the RTC 106 can detect the current time. The RTC 106 can measure a predetermined time, elapsed time, and the like by performing an initial setting, but in the present embodiment, the RTC 106 can measure a business hall operating time.

  The main substrate 11 is accommodated in a substrate case 201 as shown in FIG. Caulking pins 11B are attached to the substrate case 201. Since the caulking pin 11B is provided, the main board 11 is completely enclosed in the board case 201, and an illegal act on the main board 11 is prevented. The substrate case 201 is a crimped substrate case (hereinafter also referred to as “crimped substrate case”).

  The display monitor 29 is provided on the main board 11. In addition, a seal seal 11S is attached to the substrate case 201 to prove that the main substrate 11 is sealed. The seal seal 11S is pasted across, for example, the removed portion of the substrate case 201. The seal seal 11S is disposed at a position away from the main substrate 11, and is disposed at a position different from the position where the visibility of the display monitor 29 is blocked, such as directly in front of the display monitor 29. Thus, the display monitor 29 is disposed at a position that is not hidden by the seal seal 11S.

  The display monitor 29 includes a first display unit 29A, a second display unit 29B, a third display unit 29C, a fourth display unit 29D, and a fifth display unit 29E. Each of the first display unit 29A to the fifth display unit 29E is configured by seven segments configured by seven segments that draw a character “8” and dots arranged at the lower right side of the seven segments. The first display unit 29A to the fifth display unit 29E can be lit and blinked in various colors, for example, red, blue, green, yellow, white, and the like. In addition, these colors can be displayed in different colors or so-called rainbows while changing in an extremely short period.

The set values (1 to 3) are displayed on the first display portion 29A of the first digit, and the summation period is displayed on the second display portion 29B of the second digit and the third display portion 29C of the third digit. The numerical values are displayed in percentage on the fourth display portion 29D of the fourth digit and the fifth display portion 29E of the fifth digit. In display No1, a short-term run ratio is displayed, and in display No2, a short-term role ratio is displayed. In display No. 3, the total cumulative run ratio is displayed, and in display No. 4, the total cumulative role ratio is displayed. In display No5, the base (base 1) calculated based on the previous 60000 prize balls is displayed, and in display No6, the base (base 2) calculated based on the previous 60000 prize balls is displayed. Is done.

  The short term here means a period in which the number of awarded balls (number of acquired balls) was 6000. The period for calculating the total cumulative means the total period after the calculation of the ratio and the ratio is started, or the total period after the calculation of the ratio and the ratio is once reset.

  In the above example, the linkage ratio, the role ratio, and the base are calculated regardless of the gaming state, but may be calculated in consideration of the gaming state. For example, the run ratio may be a ratio of the total number of winning balls that is occupied by the number of winning balls by winning a big winning opening in the big hit gaming state. Also, the ratio of the winnings is the percentage of the total number of winning balls that is based on the number of winning balls in the second starting winning opening in the high base state and the number of winning balls in the winning game in the big hit gaming state. Also good. The base may be calculated separately for the low base state and the high base state.

  When the short-term ratio of the display No1 is displayed, “y6.” Is displayed on the second display unit 29B and the third display unit 29C, and when the short-term role ratio of the display No2 is displayed, the second “Y7.” Is displayed on the display unit 29B and the third display unit 29C. When the short-term ratio of display No1 is displayed, the fourth display section 29D and the fifth display section 29E display the short-term ratio as a percentage (displayed in%) and display the short-term ratio of display No2. In this case, the short-term role ratio is displayed as a percentage (% display) on the fourth display unit 29D and the fifth display unit 29E.

  When the total cumulative ratio of display No. 3 is displayed, “A6.” Is displayed on the second display unit 29B and the third display unit 29C, and when the total cumulative role of display No. 4 is displayed, “A7.” Is displayed on the second display unit 29B and the third display unit 29C. When the total cumulative ratio of display No. 3 is displayed, the total cumulative ratio is displayed as a percentage (% display) on the fourth display unit 29D and the fifth display unit 29E, and the total cumulative combination of display No. 4 is displayed. When the ratio is displayed, the total cumulative combination ratio is displayed as a percentage (% display) on the fourth display unit 29D and the fifth display unit 29E.

  When the base 1 of the display No. 5 is displayed, “bL.” Is displayed on the second display unit 29B and the third display unit 29C, and when the base 2 of the display No. 4 is displayed, the second display unit. “B6.” Is displayed on 29B and the third display unit 29C. When the base 1 of the display No. 5 is displayed, the total cumulative ratio is displayed as a percentage (% display) on the fourth display unit 29D and the fifth display unit 29E, and the base 2 of the display No. 6 is displayed. In this case, the total cumulative combination ratio is displayed as a percentage (% display) on the fourth display unit 29D and the fifth display unit 29E.

  The main board 11 calculates the ratio, role ratio, and base in the first grand prize opening, the second big prize opening (attacker), the first starting prize opening, the second starting prize opening, and the first general prize opening. The number of game balls that have entered the fourth general prize opening and the number of game balls discharged from the discharge port are tabulated. In the main process, the CPU 103 performs the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B, the first count switch 23, the second count switch 24A, and the first general winning port switch 26A to the fourth general port. Switch processing for confirming the state (presence / absence of a detection signal) of each of the winning port switch 26D and the outlet port switch 70 is performed.

  In this switch process, based on the detection signal output from each switch, it is specified which entry area the game ball has entered. When the detection signal is output from the gate switch 21, the value of the gate passage number counter is added, and when the detection signal is output from the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B, The values of the first start winning number counter and the second starting winning number counter are added, and when a detection signal is output from the first count switch 23 and the second count switch 24A, the value of the large winning number counter is added. When a detection signal is output from the first general winning opening switch 26A, the second general winning opening switch 26B, the third general winning opening switch 26C, and the fourth general winning opening switch 26D, the first general winning number counter, When the values of the second general winning number counter, the third general winning number counter, and the fourth general winning number counter are added and a detection signal is output from the outlet switch 70, By adding the value of the write counter, it counts the entry number of game balls (winning number of game balls to each winning hole) to each entry area. Note that the value of each counter is stored in the RAM 102.

  In this way, the step for counting the number of game balls entering each entry area is executed together in a series of processes for checking the state of the switch corresponding to each entry area (switch state confirmation process). By including it in the switch process), the number of game balls entering each entry area can be counted without causing a separate counting program to be executed, that is, without causing a problem of insufficient capacity due to an increase in the number of execution programs. It has become.

  The CPU 103 of the main board 11 calculates the number of winning balls by winning each winning mouth based on the total number of winning game balls to each winning mouth, and stores the calculated number of winning balls in the RAM 102 for each winning mouth. Let The number of winning balls for winning a game ball is calculated by multiplying the number of gaming balls to be paid out by one winning with respect to the winning opening and the number of winning for the winning opening. The number of winning balls for winning a game ball is predetermined for each winning opening.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the number of winning balls for each winning mouth divided here is a general winning mouth winning ball (a winning ball by winning from the first general winning mouth to the fourth general winning mouth (sode)), 1st starting prize mouth ball (award ball by winning the 1st starting prize port (heso)), ordinary electric role award ball (award ball by winning an electric Chu), special electric role award ball (winning an attacker) Is the number of prize balls. The RAM 102 also stores the total number of winning balls and the number of game balls that have been driven. The CPU 103 separately counts the number of game balls won in the general winning opening and the number of game balls won in the first starting opening, but the number of game balls won in the general winning opening and the first starting opening are counted. The number of winning game balls to may be summed up. In addition, although the number of prize balls for the general prize opening prize ball and the number of prize balls for the first start mouth prize ball are calculated separately, the number of prize balls for the general prize opening prize ball and the number of the first start mouth prize ball are calculated. May be calculated together.

  The RAM 102 includes a ring buffer and an active buffer for storing the number of winning balls and the number of hits. The ring buffer includes 10 first storage areas to 10th storage areas, each of which has a counter of up to 2 bytes for storing the number of winning balls by winning in each winning mouth for every 6000 winning balls. As described above, the ring buffer has a storage area of a predetermined unit (maximum 2 bytes). The active buffer also includes a 0th storage area composed of a counter of up to 2 bytes for storing the number of winning balls by winning in each winning mouth for every 6000 winning balls. In the 0th storage area, the number of winning balls for each winning mouth that increases as the game progresses is added. Eleven storage areas from the 0th storage area to the 10th storage area can store 256 × 256 = 65536 data, and up to 6000 data can be stored with a margin.

  In addition, the RAM 102 is provided with a storage area for the number of winning balls (for 10 sets) and the total number of hits stored in the first storage area to the tenth storage area, and the total accumulated for each winning opening. Yes. The storage area of the total of 10 sets and the total total is composed of a counter of maximum 3 bytes. Therefore, 256 × 256 × 256 = 16777216 data can be stored, and up to 60000 data can be spared. I can remember.

And a base storage area for storing. The CPU 103 of the main board 11 calculates the role and run ratio of 10 sets and the total cumulative based on the number of winning balls based on the number of winning game balls in each winning opening for 10 sets and the total cumulative. In addition, it is stored in the linkage ratio storage area for storing the total cumulative ratio and the linkage ratio. Each of the combination ratio combination ratio storage areas for storing the ratios and the combination ratios of the 10 sets and the total cumulative number is composed of a counter of 1 byte at maximum. For example, in the case of storing the set ratio and the total ratio of 10 sets and the total cumulative number as an integer, the counter can be stored with a margin with a maximum of 1 byte.

  Further, the CPU 103 of the main board 11 calculates a base for 10 sets based on the number of game balls to be awarded to each winning opening for 10 sets, and the base for 10 sets (base 2) and the previous time The base (base 1) calculated based on the number of game balls won for each of the 10 sets of winning holes is stored in the base storage area. For example, when the base 1 and the base 2 are stored as integers, they can be stored with a margin of a maximum counter of 1 byte.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. As shown in FIG. 20, when the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 executes a security check process that is a process for confirming whether or not the content of the program is valid, and then starts the game control main process after Sa1. To do. In the game control main process, the CPU 103 first performs necessary initial settings.

  In the initial setting process, the CPU 103 first sets prohibition of interruption (Sa1). Next, the interrupt mode is set to interrupt mode 2 (Sa2), and a stack pointer designation address is set to the stack pointer (Sa3). Then, after initialization of the built-in device (such as initialization of the built-in device (built-in peripheral circuit) CTC (counter / timer) and PIO (parallel input / output port)) (Sa4), the RAM 102 is made accessible. Set (Sa5). In interrupt mode 2, the address synthesized from the value of the specific register (I register) (1 byte) built in the CPU 103 and the interrupt vector (1 byte: least significant bit 0) output from the built-in device is This mode indicates an interrupt address.

  Next, the CPU 103 confirms the state of the output signal (clear signal) of a clear switch (for example, mounted on the power supply board) input via the input port (Sa6). If ON is detected in the confirmation, the CPU 103 executes normal initialization processing (Sa9 to Sa13, cold start processing).

  If the clear switch is not on, it is determined whether or not the power-off detection process (see FIG. 22) has been executed based on whether or not check data is stored in a predetermined backup area (Sa7). .

  When the backup data is stored, the CPU 103 performs data check of the backup RAM area (Sa8). In this embodiment, a parity check is performed as a data check. Therefore, in Sa8, the calculated checksum is compared with the checksum calculated and stored by the same process in the power-off detection process. When the power supply is stopped after an unexpected power failure or the like, the data in the backup RAM area should be saved, so the check result (comparison result) is normal (matched). That the check result is not normal means that the data in the backup RAM area is different from the data when the power supply is stopped. In such a case, since the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, an initialization process that is executed when the power is turned on is not performed when the power supply is stopped.

  If the check result is normal, the CPU 103 performs a game state restoration process (the process of Sa41 and Sa42) for returning the game control microcomputer 100 to the state when the power supply is stopped. Specifically, the start address of the backup setting table stored in the ROM 101 is set as a pointer (Sa41), the contents of the backup setting table are sequentially set in the work area (area in the RAM 102), and the process proceeds to Sa14. (Sa42). The work area is backed up by a backup power source. In the backup setting table, initialization data for an area that may be initialized in the work area is set. As a result of the processing of Sa41 and Sa42, the saved contents remain as they are in the portion of the work area that should not be initialized. The parts that should not be initialized are, for example, data indicating the gaming state before the power supply is stopped (special symbol process flag, probability change flag, time reduction flag, restriction member state designation flag, initialized flag, etc.), output of the output port An area where the state is stored (output port buffer), a part where data indicating the number of unpaid winning balls is set, and the like.

  When the clear switch is on (Sa6; Y), when backup data is not stored (Sa7; N), or when the result of the parity check is not normal (Sa8; N), initialization is performed. Execute the process.

  In the initialization process, the CPU 103 first performs a RAM clear process to clear data other than the set value stored in the backup storage area of the RAM 102 (Sa9). The RAM clear process initializes predetermined data (for example, count value data of a counter for generating a random number for normal symbol determination) to 0, but an arbitrary value or a predetermined value It may be initialized to. Alternatively, the entire area of the RAM 102 may not be initialized, and predetermined data (for example, data of a counter value for generating a random number for determination per normal symbol) may be left as it is. Further, the initial address of the initialization setting table stored in the ROM 101 is set as a pointer (Sa10), and the contents of the initialization setting table are sequentially set in the work area (Sa11).

  By the processing of Sa10 and Sa11, for example, a normal symbol per-determining random number counter, a special symbol buffer, a total prize ball number storage buffer, a special symbol process flag, and other flags that are selectively processed according to the control state are initialized. Is set.

  Further, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the lock switch 51 is ON (Sa12). If the lock switch 51 is not ON (Sa12; N), the process proceeds to Sa14. If the lock switch 51 is ON (Sa12; Y), the setting is performed by executing the setting change process (Sa13). The operation of the changeover switch 52 and the lock switch 51 is accepted, and the set value can be changed. In the setting change process, the setting status of the setting value can be confirmed on the display of the display monitor 29. Then, after finishing the setting change process (Sa13), the process proceeds to Sa14. In the present embodiment, the setting change process is executed on the condition that the lock switch 51 is ON. However, the present invention is not limited to this and is further used for a gaming machine. The setting change process may be executed on condition that the frame 3 is open, that is, the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be changeable. Further, when a new set value is set for the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the setting change process, the CPU 103 may output a command for notifying the set value to the effect control board 12. . In this way, when the CPU 103 can output a command for notifying the set value set to the effect control board 12, the effect control CPU 120 can recognize the newly set value. Therefore, at a specific timing of the game (for example, during a variable display or at the end of a big hit game), a notification effect of the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a fixed notification effect of the set value 1, etc.) It is possible to execute a setting value suggesting effect or the like that suggests a setting value of the gaming machine 1.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 103 executes the setting change process to exemplify the setting value that allows the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be changed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, When executing the change process, the CPU 103 may output a command for notifying the effect control board 12 that the setting change process is being executed. As described above, when the CPU 103 outputs a command for notifying the effect control board 12 that the setting change process is being executed, it indicates that the CPU 103 is executing the setting change process. Since the CPU 120 can recognize, the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is being changed by image display on the effect display device 5, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, light emission from the game effect LED 9, and the like. This can be notified to the surroundings.

  For example, while the setting change process is being executed, characters such as “setting is being changed” are displayed on the black background on the effect display device 5 and voices such as “setting is being changed” are repeatedly output from the speakers 8L and 8R. It is only necessary that the other display (for example, the effect symbol, small symbol, fourth symbol, right-handed display, etc.) in the effect display device 5 is not displayed, but these effect symbols, small symbols, fourth symbol, right-handed display Etc. may be displayed during the execution of the setting change process. Further, during the execution of the setting change process of the present embodiment, since the special symbol or normal symbol variation display is not executed, the first special symbol display 4A, the second special symbol display 4B, and the normal symbol display 20 are displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and during the execution of the setting change process, the first special symbol display 4A, the second special symbol display 4B, and the normal symbol display 20 are displayed. A symbol indicating that the setting change process is being executed or a symbol indicating a specific display result (for example, loss) may be stopped and displayed.

  In the present embodiment, during the execution of the setting change process, the first special symbol display 4A, the second special symbol display 4B, and the normal symbol display 20 indicate that the setting change process is being executed, Although the form which stops and displays the symbol which shows a specific display result (for example, dissociation) is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, During execution of a setting change process, 25 A of 1st holding | maintenance indicators Alternatively, the second hold indicator 25B and the general-purpose hold indicator 25C may emit light (for example, for blinking repeatedly) in a manner indicating that the setting change process is being executed. Further, a display (round number display) that displays the number of rounds in the big hit game on the pachinko gaming machine 1 or an instruction to the player to launch a game ball in a specific area of the game area (for example, the game area on the right side). When a display (right-handed display) or the like is provided, the display may emit light in a mode indicating that the setting change process is being executed.

  In this embodiment, when the clear switch is on (Sa6; Y), when backup data is not stored (Sa7; N), or when the result of parity check is not normal (Sa8; N). Furthermore, after executing the clearing of the RAM 122 (Sa9), the mode of determining whether or not the lock switch 51 is ON (Sa12) and the setting changing process (Sa13) are illustrated. It is not limited, and when the backup data is not stored (Sa7; N) or the result of the parity check is not normal (Sa8; N), the pachinko gaming machine 1 is disconnected in an abnormal state Since this is an event that can occur when power is turned on in an abnormal state, the RA after determining that the clear switch is on (Sa6; Y) 122 Clear execution (Sa9) only whether tablets switch 51 is ON determination case of (Sa12) and may perform the setting change processing (Sa13). That is, when the backup data is not stored (Sa7; N) or the parity check result is not normal (Sa8; N), the RAM 122 is cleared (Sa9) while being set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 The set value itself may be taken over.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment has illustrated the form which can change the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing the setting change process by the CPU 103, the present invention is not limited to this, and the CPU 103 May be able to check the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the display monitor 29, while being able to execute a process in which the set value cannot be changed (hereinafter referred to as setting check process). When the CPU 103 can execute the setting check process as described above, the CPU 103 may output a command for notifying the effect control board 12 that the setting check process is being executed. As described above, when the CPU 103 outputs a command for notifying the effect control board 12 that the setting confirmation process is being executed, it is determined that the CPU 103 is executing the setting confirmation process. Since the CPU 120 can recognize, the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is being changed by image display on the effect display device 5, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, light emission from the game effect LED 9, and the like. This can be notified to the surroundings.

  The setting check process may be executed on condition that the lock switch 51 is turned on after the CPU 103 executes the processes Sa1 to Sa16 of the main process (see FIG. 20). During special symbol fluctuation display, big hit game, small hit game, when special symbol fluctuation display is not executed, but there is a pending memory, the prize ball is paid out for a predetermined period after the error is detected Even if the lock switch 51 is ON during a predetermined period such as waiting for entry of a game ball to the big hit game start gate (only when the big hit game start gate is provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1) The setting confirmation process may not be executed.

  Further, after the CPU 103 executes the setting confirmation process and displays the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 on the display monitor 29, the setting value is displayed on the display monitor 29 without switching the lock switch 51 to OFF. The game may be enabled in a state where is set.

  After execution of Sa42 and Sa13, or when it is determined that the lock switch is not ON (Sa12; N), in Sa14, the set value stored in the backup area of the RAM 102 is read, and the read value is stored in the pachinko gaming machine. Set as a set value of 1.

  Next, the CPU 103 executes random number circuit setting processing for initial setting of the random number circuit 104 (Sa15). For example, the CPU 103 performs processing according to a random number circuit setting program to perform setting for causing the random number circuit 104 to update the value of the random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result.

  In Sa16, the CPU 103 sets a CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 so that a timer interrupt is periodically generated every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (Sa16). That is, a value corresponding to, for example, 2 ms is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every 2 ms.

  Next, the CPU 103 repeatedly executes a display random number update process (Sa18) and an initial value random number update process (Sa19). When executing the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process, the interrupt disabled state is set (Sa17), and when the display random number update process and the initial value random number update process are completed, the interrupt enabled state is set. (Sa20). In this embodiment, the display random number is a random number for determining a stop symbol of a special symbol when it is not a big hit, or a random number for determining whether to reach when it is not a big hit. The random number update process is a process for updating the count value of a counter for generating a display random number. The initial value random number update process is a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number. In this embodiment, the initial value random number determines the initial value of the count value of a counter for generating a random number for determining whether or not to win a normal symbol (ordinary random number generation counter for normal symbol determination). It is a random number to do. A game control process for controlling the progress of the game, which will be described later (the game control microcomputer 100 controls game devices such as an effect display device, a variable winning ball device, a ball payout device, etc. provided in the game machine itself. In the process of transmitting a command signal to be controlled by another microcomputer, or a game machine control process), the count value of the random number for determination per normal symbol is one round (the random number for determination per normal symbol is taken). When the value is incremented by the number of values between the minimum value and the maximum value of the possible values), an initial value is set in the counter.

  Next, the display mode of the display monitor 29 in the setting change process (Sa13) will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 21 (A) and 21 (B), the power is turned off by the operation of a game shop clerk or the like when the display monitor 29 displays the connection ratio, the role ratio, the base, and the like. When the power is cut off, the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped and the display on the display monitor 29 is ended. In addition, when the first big prize opening or the second big prize opening is being opened at the timing when the power is turned off, such as during big hit games or small hit games, the supply of power to the solenoids 82 and 83 is stopped. As a result, the first grand prize winning opening and the second big winning prize opening are closed. Further, since the power supply to the solenoid 85 is also stopped by turning off the power supply, the regulating member 721 changes from the regulated state to the allowed state. In other words, if the game ball stays (stores) on the restriction member 721 in the restricted state at the timing when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off, the game is caused by the restriction member 721 changing from the restricted state to the allowed state. The ball passes through the third count switch 24B or the fourth count switch 24C and is discharged from the second special variable winning ball device 7B.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21C, when a store clerk or the like of the game hall turns on the power while operating the clear switch (in the case of Y in the main process Sa6), the lock switch 51 is turned on. The setting change process (Sa13) is executed by the CPU 103 under the condition (Y in Sa12 of the main process), and the setting value stored in the backup area of the RAM 102 in the display monitor 29 (more precisely, the first display unit 29A) Is displayed.

  When the setting value is displayed on the first display unit 29A in this way, as shown in FIG. 21D, the CPU 103 detects the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 by a store clerk or the like at the game hall. The numerical values displayed on the first display unit 29A are sequentially updated (for example, updated as 1 → 2 → 3 → 1 →... Each time the setting changeover switch 52 is operated).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (E), the CPU 103 detects the push operation of the lock switch 51 by a store clerk or the like of the game hall, and the setting value displayed on the first display unit 29A is stored in the RAM 102. Store (update storage) in the backup area. At this time, the CPU 103 blinks and displays the first display unit 29 </ b> A to notify the store staff of the game hall that a new set value has been stored in the backup area of the RAM 102. Further, when the reserved storage is stored in the backup area of the RAM 102, the reserved storage is cleared. In addition, when the big prize opening is closed at the timing (timing when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off) in FIG. 21A, the big prize opening is opened again. Thereafter, the CPU 103 ends the setting change processing based on the fact that the lock switch 51 is turned off by the operation of a store clerk or the like in the game hall, and is in a state where the game can be performed by executing the processing after Sa14, that is, the change The display result, jackpot type, variation pattern determination lottery, prize ball payout, etc. can be executed.

  In the setting change process of this embodiment, the setting value stored in the backup area of the RAM 102 is displayed as the initial display displayed on the display monitor 29. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The initial display to be displayed on the display monitor 29 in the setting change process is not the most advantageous setting value for the player (“1” in this embodiment), or the most unfavorable setting value for the player. (“3” in this embodiment) may be displayed.

  When the CPU 103 executing such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, it executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 22 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a power-off detection process (S10). Then, by executing a predetermined switch process, the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, the first count switch 23, the second count switch 24A, the third switch circuit 110 are connected via the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the count switch 23B, the fourth count switch 23C, and the discharge port switch 70 is determined (S11).

  Subsequently, when a game ball is won in any of the general winning opening 50A to the general winning opening 50D, the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, the first grand winning opening, and the second large winning opening 712, That is, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, the first count switch 23, the second count switch 24A, the first general winning port switch 26A, the second general winning port switch 26B, and the third general winning port switch When a detection signal is input from 26C, the fourth general winning opening switch 26D, a winning ball process (S12) for setting the number of winning balls corresponding to winning by each detection signal is executed.

  Next, the CPU 103 receives winning information such as winning ratio, run ratio, base, etc. (S13), and displays winning information such as winning ratio, run ratio, base, etc. calculated in the winning information processing on the display monitor 29. A winning information display control process (S14) is displayed. Thereafter, by executing predetermined main-side error processing (S15), abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and if necessary, warning can be executed according to the diagnosis result. Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information, payout information supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output. (S16).

  Subsequent to the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers such as the random number MR1 and the random numbers MR1 to MR4 used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (S17). . Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (S18). In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol are displayed. Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in the display 4B and setting of opening / closing operation of the special prize winning unit 7 in the special variable winning ball unit 7 in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (S19). The CPU 103 controls the display operation (for example, turning on / off the segment LED, etc.) on the normal symbol display 20 by executing the normal symbol process, so that the variable display of the normal symbol and the movable in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B are possible. Enables setting of the tilting movement of the blade.

  After executing the normal symbol process, the CPU 103 transmits a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process (S20). As an example of these, in the command control processing, among the output ports included in the I / O 105, corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table specified by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit 155, After setting the control data in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal and the effect control INT signal is turned on for a predetermined time. An effect control command can be transmitted based on the setting in the command transmission table by setting the state to the off state. After executing the command control process, after setting the interrupt enabled state, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

  In the command control process of S20, a command for sending a command for notifying a set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or a command for notifying that a fluctuation pattern or a fluctuation display has been completed, etc. By transmitting the existing command including information on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the set value may be periodically notified to the effect control board 12. Further, the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120) receives these commands from the main board 11, and executes the effects suggesting the set values at various timings such as during variable display or during big hit games. May be.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in S18 shown in FIG. 22 as the special symbol process. In this special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (S21). After executing the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of S22 to S31 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether or not there has been a first start prize or a second start prize by the first start port switch 22A or the second start port switch 22B. Random number MR1 for determining the jackpot type, random number MR2 for determining the big hit type, and random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern are extracted, and in the case of the first start winning, the empty entry in the first special figure reservation storage unit 151A If it is the second start winning prize, it is stored at the highest level, and stored at the highest level of the empty entry in the second special figure reservation storage unit 151B. In the start winning process, when a start winning occurs, the setting for transmitting the first start opening winning designation command and the second starting prize designation command to the effect control board 12 is also executed. Note that the first start opening prize designation command and the second start opening prize designation command are output to the effect control board 12 by the CPU 103 executing the command control process (S20).

  The special symbol normal process of S22 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0”. In this special symbol normal process, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol are based on the presence / absence of reserved data stored in the first special symbol storage unit 151A and the second special diagram storage unit 151B. It is determined whether or not to start the special game using the display 4B. Further, in the special symbol normal process, the variation of the special symbol and the effect symbol is based on the display result determination table (see FIG. 7) corresponding to the set value that has been set and the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for the variation display result determination. Whether or not the display result is “big hit” is determined (predetermined) before the fluctuation display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal process, in response to the special symbol variation display result in the special symbol game, the confirmed special symbol (the jackpot symbol or the like in the special symbol game by the first special symbol indicator 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B). Either the small hit symbol or the off symbol) is set. In the special symbol normal process, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “1” when the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is determined in advance.

  The variation pattern setting process of S23 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this variation pattern setting process, a variation pattern is selected from any of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating a variation pattern determination random value MR3 based on a result of prior determination as to whether or not the variation display result is “big hit”. This includes the process of determining whether or not. The variation pattern is determined using one of the variation pattern determination tables shown in FIGS. 10 to 11 according to the set value, the variation display result, and the jackpot type. When the variation pattern setting process is executed and the variation display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special diagram process flag is updated to “2”.

  By the special symbol normal process in S22 and the variation pattern setting process in S23, a variation pattern including the variation display time of the confirmed special symbol, the special symbol, and the effect symbol that is the variation display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing use the random number value MR1 for variation display result determination, the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination, and the random value MR3 for variation pattern determination, and use the special symbol or effect symbol. The process of determining the variable display mode is included.

  The special symbol variation process of S24 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. The special symbol variation processing includes processing for setting the special symbol to be varied in the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and the elapsed time since the special symbol started to vary. It includes processing to measure For example, every time the special symbol variation process of S24 is executed, the special diagram variation timer value, which is the stored value in the special diagram variation timer provided in the game control timer setting unit 153, is decremented or incremented by 1, Regardless of whether it is a special game using the first special graphic in the special symbol display 4A or a special graphic game using the second special graphic in the second special symbol display 4B, it is passed by a common timer. Time measurements are taken. Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached a special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. In this way, the special symbol variation process of S24 is performed in the special symbol variation in the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol in the second special symbol display 4B. It suffices if it is a process for controlling the variation of the special symbol in the special figure game using the game by a common processing routine. When the elapsed time since the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “3”.

  The special symbol stop process of S25 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display unit 4A or the second special symbol display unit 4B stops the variation of the special symbol, and the definite special symbol that is the variation display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived). A process for performing the setting is included. Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is turned on. When the jackpot flag is turned on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”. Is done. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, it is further determined whether or not the small hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152 is on, and the small hit flag is on. In this case, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “7”. If both the big hit flag and the small hit flag are OFF, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit release pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. In this big hit release pre-processing, based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit”, etc., a process for starting the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and setting the first big winning opening to the open state Etc. are included. At this time, for example, the upper limit of the period during which the first big winning opening is opened is set in accordance with whether the big hit type is “big hit A”, “big hit B”, or “big hit C”. Also good. As an example, regardless of the type of jackpot, the upper limit of the period during which the first grand prize opening is in the open state is set to “29 seconds”, and the opening number of the first big prize opening that is the upper limit number of times to execute the round is “Big hit A” is set to “5 times”, “Big hit B” is set to “10 times”, and “Big hit C” is set to “15 times”. That's fine. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”.

  The big hit release process of S27 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. This big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the first big winning opening is in the open state, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the first count switch 23, and the like. The process includes determining whether or not it is time to return the first big prize opening from the open state to the closed state. Then, when the first grand prize winning port is returned to the closed state, processing for stopping the output of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the first grand prize winning door 701 is executed, and then the value of the special process flag is “6”. Is updated.

  The big hit end process of S28 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". In this jackpot end process, a waiting time corresponding to a period during which an ending effect as an effect operation for informing the end of the jackpot gaming state is executed by an effect device such as the effect display device 5, the speakers 8L and 8R, and the game effect LED 9 And a process of performing various settings (setting of a time reduction flag) for starting time reduction control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  Specifically, in the jackpot end process, the type of jackpot executed is specified. If the identified big hit type is “big hit A”, the special process flag value is updated to “0” without setting the hourly flag. When the identified big hit type is “big hit B”, the special time process is set by setting the time-short flag and setting the initial count value (“20” in this embodiment) corresponding to “big hit B” in the short-time counter. The flag value is updated to “0”. When the specified big hit type is “hit C”, the hour / hour flag is set and the count initial value (“100” in this embodiment) corresponding to “hit C” is set in the hour / hour counter. The value of the figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  The small hit release pre-processing of S29 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. In this pre-opening process for small hits, the execution of the round is started in the small hit gaming state based on the fact that the change display result is “small hits”, and the second big prize opening 712 is opened. Includes the process of setting. At this time, for example, based on the fact that the variable display result is “small hit”, the upper limit of the period during which the second big prize opening 712 is opened is set to “1 second”, and the upper limit number of times to execute the round By setting the number of times the second big prize winning opening 712 is opened to “1”, the setting for the small hit state may be made. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “8”.

  In this embodiment, in the small hit state, the number of times the second big prize opening 712 is opened is set to “1”, and the upper limit of the period during which the second big prize opening 712 is opened is set to “1 second”. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of times the second big prize opening 712 is opened in the small hit state may be two or more times, and the second big prize winning is also possible.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an effect control main process executed by the effect control CPU 120 mounted on the effect control board 12. The effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (S51). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When the timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (turned on) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53) and executes the following process.

  The effect control CPU 120 first analyzes the received effect control command and performs a process of setting a flag in accordance with the received effect control command (command analysis process: S54). In this command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the content of the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM 122. In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) is the effect control command stored in the buffer area.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, an effect random number update process for updating the counter value for generating effect random numbers such as jackpot symbol determination random numbers is executed (S56), and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) in the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a hold effect process for controlling effects related to hold display and active display (S72). In the hold effect process in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 receives the first start opening prize designation command and the second start opening prize designation command based on receiving the first start opening prize designation command. The hold display can be displayed in the active display area 5F based on the update of the hold display in the hold storage display area 5U and the reception of the first change start designation command and the second change start designation command. In the hold effect process, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the first start winning effect and the second start winning effect.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (A) and FIG. 25 (B), the first start winning effect is that the hold display is displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D and the active display is displayed in the active display area 5F. When the start winning is generated at the first start winning opening during the variable display, the effect of moving and displaying the hold display from the character image C toward the display position of the new hold display in the first hold storage display area 5D. It is. In addition, the movement display of the hold display of the first start winning effect target is the position (the hold in the first hold memory display area 5D) determined in advance based on the first special figure hold memory number at the start of the first start winning effect. The process ends by moving to a position determined according to the number of memories.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 25 (C) and 25 (D), the second start winning effect is the first start winning opening when the number of reserved memories is 0 and the variable display is not executed. This is an effect of moving and displaying the active display from the character image C toward the active display area 5F via the first reserved storage display area 5D when the start winning is generated.

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs any one of S73 to S82 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  Fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73): It is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not a variation pattern designation command is received in the command analysis process. If the change pattern designation command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol change start process (S74).

  Effect symbol variation start processing (S74): Control is performed so that the variation of the effect symbol is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol changing process (S75).

  Production symbol variation processing (S75): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitors the end of the variation time. When the variation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (S76).

  Effect symbol variation stop processing (S76): Based on the reception of the effect control command (symbol confirmation command) for instructing all symbols to stop, control is performed to stop the variation of the effect symbol and derive and display the display result (stop symbol). Do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit display process (S77), the small hit display process (S80), or the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Jackpot display process (S77): After the end of the variation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of a jackpot. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit game processing (S78).

  Big hit game processing (S78): Control during the big hit game is performed. For example, when receiving a special command during opening of the special prize opening or a designation command after opening the special prize opening, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot end effect process (S79).

  Big hit end effect process (S79): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit game state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Small hit display process (S80): After the variation time is over, the effect display device 5 is controlled to display a screen for notifying the occurrence of the small hit. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the small hit game processing (S81).

  Small hit game processing (S81): Control during the small hit game is performed. For example, when receiving a special command during opening of the special prize opening or a designation command after opening the special prize opening, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the small hit end effect process (S82).

  Small hit end effect process (S82): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the small hit game state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73) or the jackpot display process (S77).

  In the present embodiment, when the first start winning effect is executed, the first hold memory display is started by the end of the variable display and the start of a new variable display during the execution of the first start winning effect. There is a case where the number of held displays displayed in the area 5D changes (decreases). In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 27 (A) to 27 (E), the destination (stop position) in the first hold storage display area 5D of the hold display of the first start winning effect target is redetermined. After that, the first start winning effect may be continued.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (A) to 27 (E), the end of the variable display and the start of a new variable display are started during the execution of the first start winning effect toward the hold 4 display position. When the hold display displayed in the first hold memory display area 5D is shifted based on the fact that the number of the first special figure hold memory is two, the hold 3 display position of the first hold memory display area 5D In the case where the hold display is no longer displayed), the movement destination in the first hold storage display area 5D of the hold display for the first start winning effect is redetermined as the hold 3 display position, and then the first start winning effect is displayed. Can be continued.

  In addition, during a specific effect that suggests that the fluctuation display result is a big hit, such as a reach effect during a change in super reach, the first start winning effect can cause the player to focus on the reach effect. It will disappear. Therefore, in the hold effect process in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 28A and 28B, the first start winning opening is set during execution of a specific effect such as a reach effect during a change in super reach. If a new start prize is generated, the first start prize presentation effect is not executed, but only a new hold display is additionally displayed in the first hold storage display area 5D. It is possible to prevent the interest of reach production from deteriorating.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the said Example, although the form which performs a 1st start winning effect and a 2nd starting winning effect as an appearance display in this invention was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As modification 1 As shown in FIGS. 19 (A) and 29 (B), when a new start winning occurs when the number of reserved memories is 0 and the variable display is not being executed, the second start winning effect is displayed. The hold display may be displayed as the active display in the active display area 5F without execution, and the hold display is not performed from the character image C via the first hold storage display area 5D as the second start winning effect. You may move directly to the active display area 5F. By doing so, it is possible to shorten the period from when a new start winning is generated until the active display is displayed in the active display area 5F.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which displays a white round-shaped hold display in the 1st hold memory display area 5D and the 2nd hold memory display area 5U was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, A plurality of display modes (for example, a blue circle, a red circle, a white triangle, a white square, etc.) are provided as display modes of these hold displays, depending on which display mode the hold display is displayed in. In the variable display corresponding to each hold display, it may be possible to execute a hold change effect that suggests a ratio (a big jackpot expectation) that the change display result is a big hit.

  In this way, when the jackpot expectation is varied according to the display mode of the hold display, the display mode of the hold display of the first start winning effect target may be changed during the first start winning effect. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 30 (A) to 30 (D) as a second modification, a movable body is provided on the side of the effect display device 5, and the movable body is provided during the execution of the first start prize winning effect. By placing the hold display on the movement path of the hold display, the hold display is hidden from the player. Then, the display mode of the hold display during the first start winning effect may be realized by changing the display mode of the hold display during the concealment. By doing in this way, since a player can be made to pay attention to which the display mode of the hold display of the first start winning effect target changes, the gaming interest can be improved.

  In the second modification, the hold display of the first start winning effect target is concealed by the movable body, and the display form of the hold display is changed during the concealment, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, as shown in FIGS. 31 (A) to 31 (D), the hold display of the first start winning effect target is hidden by the image displayed on the effect display device 5 instead of the movable body. May be.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which can change the setting value of this pachinko gaming machine 1 at the time of power activation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 was illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 The change of the set value may be executable during the game. When changing the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 during the game, as shown in FIGS. 32 (A) to 32 (C) as a modified example 3, for example, first, a store clerk or the like of the game hall After opening the frame 3, the lock switch 51 is turned on to display the set value currently set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 on the display monitor (first display unit 29A), and then the store clerk of the game hall, etc. Operates the setting changeover switch 52 to change the numerical value displayed on the first display unit 29A. Then, when a store clerk or the like of the game hall pushes the lock switch 51, the numerical value (set value) displayed on the first display unit 29A is set as the set value of the new pachinko gaming machine 1, and the RAM 102 is backed up. What is necessary is just to store in an area | region. After the new set value is set, clearing the game control data holding area 150 allows the special figure hold memory, the general figure hold memory and game control flag setting unit 152, the game control timer setting unit 153, Various flags and data stored in the game control counter setting unit 154, the game control buffer setting unit 155, and the like may be deleted. As described above, by clearing the game control data holding area 150, a change storage result that is a big hit with a change in the set value is generated, or a new normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Can be prevented from being released (the occurrence of a normal hit), and the fluctuation display result being executed can be unreasonably a big hit. Further, by clearing the game control data holding area 150, the big winning opening is closed during the big hit game, or the normal variable winning ball device 6B is closed when the normal variable winning ball device 6B is open. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from obtaining an inappropriate profit. Further, when the setting change process is interrupted without setting a new set value, it is possible to prevent the pending storage from being erased even though the new set value is not set.

  In addition, in this modification 3, although the form which can change the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 during the game is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko game during the game is thus made. When the setting value of the machine 1 can be changed, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, LED light emission, etc. based on the fact that the opening of the gaming machine frame 3 is detected by a frame opening detection sensor (not shown) May be provided with an opening notification means capable of notifying that the gaming machine frame 3 is being opened, so that the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be prevented from being illegally changed.

  Further, when the release notification means is provided as described above, it is determined whether or not the pending storage is stored in the game control data holding area 150 while the gaming machine frame 3 is opened, and the game control data holding area 150 is determined. When the hold memory is stored in the game control data, the notification may be performed in a different notification mode from the case where the game control data holding area 150 does not store the hold memory. In this way, when the gaming machine frame 3 is opened to change the set value, it is easy to determine whether or not the pending storage is stored in the game control data holding area 150 according to the notification mode of the notification means. Since the store clerk and the like of the game hall can recognize, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being changed inappropriately.

  Further, in the third modification example, when the release notification means is provided as described above, whether or not there is a holding storage in which the variable display result is a big hit in the game control data holding area 150 while the gaming machine frame 3 is opened. When it is determined that there is a holding memory whose variation display result is a big hit, the notification may be performed in a different notification mode from the case where it is determined that there is no holding memory whose variation display result is a big hit. In this way, when the gaming machine frame 3 is opened, the game store clerk and the like can easily recognize the presence or absence of reserved storage that results in a big hit in the variable display result. It is possible to prevent the value from being changed.

  Further, the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be changed during the game as in the third modification, and the display mode of the hold display is changed from the white circle to the white circle as in the second modification. If it is possible to change to a white triangle or quadrangle with a higher expectation level than the jackpot, it is determined whether or not there is a holding display displayed with a white triangle or quadrangle while the gaming machine frame 3 is opened, When it is determined that there is a hold display displayed with a white triangle or square, the notification may be performed in a different notification mode from that when there is no hold display displayed with a white triangle or square. By doing in this way, when the gaming machine frame 3 is opened, the store clerk in the game hall indicates that the hold display is displayed as a white triangle or quadrangle with a higher expectation level than the white round shape. Etc. can be easily recognized, so that the setting value can be prevented from being changed inappropriately.

  In addition, in this modification 3, although the form which clears a pending | holding memory | storage based on the new setting value being set to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, Even when the set value originally set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is reset, the hold storage may be cleared.

  Moreover, in this modification 3, although the form which clears a pending | holding memory | storage based on the new setting value having been set to the pachinko game machine 1 is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 32A, when the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is displayed on the display monitor 29, that is, when the CPU 103 executes the setting change process, the pending storage is cleared. May be. By doing in this way, it can prevent reliably that the change of a setting value is no longer reflected correctly in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Moreover, in this modification 3, although the 1st big prize opening and the 2nd big prize opening 712 are illustrated based on having set a new setting value in the pachinko machine 1, The present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 32A, the timing at which the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is displayed on the display monitor 29, that is, the setting change process by the CPU 103. May be closed when the first grand prize port or the second grand prize port 712 is executed. By doing in this way, it can prevent reliably that the change of a setting value is no longer reflected correctly in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Further, in the third modification, when there is an on-hold storage in the game control data holding area 150 while the gaming machine frame 3 is opened, a mode in which notification by the notification means is executed is illustrated. The invention is not limited to this, and if there is an on-hold storage in the game control data holding area 150 while the gaming machine frame 3 is opened, a new set value may not be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Alternatively, it may be difficult to set a new set value by providing a more complicated change procedure than when there is no reserved storage in the game control data holding area 150 while the gaming machine frame 3 is opened. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the reserved memory from being accidentally cleared by setting a new set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Further, in the embodiment, the display monitor 29 is provided with five display units from the first display unit 29A to the fifth display unit 29E, and the second display unit 29B to the fifth display unit 29E in the first display unit 29A. Although the mode of displaying the connected ratio, the duty ratio, and the set value of the base is shown as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. It is not necessary to provide a display unit for displaying the connected ratio, role ratio, and base set value. In this case, as shown in FIG. 33B, the connection ratio, role ratio, and base at the set value 1 are red, the connection ratio, role ratio, and base at the set value 2 are green, and the set value By displaying the connection ratio, role ratio, and base in 3 in blue, it is easy to grasp which set value is the connection ratio, role ratio, and base being displayed on the display monitor 29. May be.

  In the embodiment and the fourth modification, the display monitor 29 can switch and display the connection ratio, role ratio, and base at the set value 1 every 5 seconds, and can operate every time the display changeover switch 30 is operated. In addition, the change ratio, role ratio, and base change display at the setting value 1 are displayed at the set value 2 connection ratio, role ratio, and base change display at the 5-second interval, the connection ratio at the set value 3, and the role display. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the connection ratio at the setting value 1, the connection ratio at the setting value 2, and the setting Switch display at 5 second intervals of continuous ratio at value 3, role ratio at set value 1, role ratio at set value 2, switch display of role ratio at set value 3 at 5 second intervals, base at set value 1 , Base at setting value 2, setting value 3 And switching display at 5 second intervals of base definitive, it may be switched for each operation of the display switching switch 30 a.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which can display the connection ratio, role ratio, and base for every setting value on the display monitor 29 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As a modification 5, it displays On the monitor 29, only the connection ratio, the combination ratio, and the base according to any one of the setting values 1 to 3 may be displayed. For example, the connection ratio, the role ratio, and the base are calculated for each of the setting values 1 to 3, and the highest or the lowest value among these calculated connection ratios, the role ratios, and the base, or the longest or shortest measurement time. Only the value or the like may be displayed on the display monitor 29. Further, among the calculated connection ratio, role ratio, and base, the highest or lowest value, or the longest or shortest measurement time is set as the initial display on the display monitor 29, and the initial display is changed by operating the display changeover switch 30. The display on the display monitor 29 may be switched to another value.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which can display the connection ratio, role ratio, and base for every setting value on the display monitor 29 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As a modification 6, it sets Connection ratio, combination ratio, base in value 1 and combination ratio, combination ratio, base in setting value 2, combination ratio, combination ratio, base in setting value 3, coupling ratio in two or more setting values, It is possible to calculate the ratio and base, and in addition to or instead of the link ratio, ratio and base for each set value, the link ratio, ratio and base at these two or more set values can be displayed on the display monitor 29. It is good. As described above, by allowing the display monitor 29 to display the connection ratio, the role ratio, and the base at two or more set values, the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be grasped in more detail. In the sixth modification, as the composite information in the present invention, an example in which the combination ratio, role ratio, and base summed up in two or more set values are calculated and displayed on the display monitor 29 is exemplified. However, the composite information in the present invention may be calculated and displayed on the display monitor 29 by calculating a continuous ratio, a combination ratio, and an average value of bases at two or more set values.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the display monitor 29 illustrated the form which can display the connection ratio, role ratio, and base in each setting value, this invention is not limited to this, As a modification 7, On the display monitor 29, only the connection ratio, the role ratio, and the base according to the set value may be displayed. Further, the display monitor 29 displays the connection ratio, the role ratio, and the base according to the set value that has been set as an initial display, and other set values from the initial display according to the operation of the display changeover switch 30. You may switch to the display of the connection ratio, role ratio, and base.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display monitor 29 has exemplified the form in which the connection ratio, the role ratio, and the base can be displayed as the predetermined information according to the set value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display On the monitor 29, as predetermined information according to the set value, a numerical value other than the consecutive ratio, the role ratio, and the base such as the number of prize balls per predetermined time (for example, one hour) may be displayed.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which displays a white round hold display in the 1st hold memory display area 5D and the 2nd hold memory display area 5U was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. As a modified example 8, a plurality of display modes having different colors and shapes may be provided as the display modes of the hold display. In particular, in the present modification 8, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the hold effect process shown in FIG. 25, the display mode of the hold display is different from the white circle (for example, a blue circle or It is also possible to display a red circle, a white triangle, a white square, etc.) and to execute a hold change effect that suggests that the variable display result corresponding to the hold display is a big hit.

  Moreover, in this modification 8, although the form which suggests that the display mode of a hold display changes by performing an effect production is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, Alternatively, it may be executed at the start timing or end timing of the variable display, or may be executed at a timing other than the start timing or end timing of the variable display. For example, the action effect may be executed on condition that the first special figure reservation storage number has reached a specific value such as an upper limit value (four in this embodiment). As described above, when the execution of the effect is determined with the upper limit when the number of reserved storage reaches a specific value such as the upper limit during the variable display, the effect is executed in the next variable display, If there is a hold display subject to the hold change effect in the display, the display mode of the hold display may be changed at the end timing of the action effect. By doing in this way, a game can be promoted with respect to a player so that a new reserved memory is memorized.

  Moreover, in the said modification 2, although the form which can perform a pending | holding change effect was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As a modified example 8, when enabling a pending | holding change effect like this Indicates that the effect control CPU 120 can execute the hold effect process shown in FIG. 25 to execute the action effect acting on the hold display, and suggests that the display mode of the hold display changes due to the execution of the action effect. Also good. By doing in this way, a player can be made to pay attention to whether the display mode of a hold display changes by execution of an effect effect, Therefore Amusement entertainment can be improved.

  In the present modification 8, during the shift of the hold display in the first hold storage display area 5D, the action effect is not executed, that is, when the action effect is executed, the hold display in the first hold storage display area 5D. The effect control CPU 120 may simplify the process for executing the effect by executing the effect after the shift.

  Furthermore, in the said modification 2 and the modification 8, the form which can perform the holding | maintenance change effect which suggests that the change display result corresponding to the said holding display becomes a big hit by changing the display mode of a holding display was illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution rate of the pending change effect may be varied according to the set value. By doing in this way, a player can be paid attention to the reserved change effect, and the effect of the reserved change effect can be enhanced.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which determines a variation pattern using each variation pattern determination table shown in FIG.10 and FIG.11 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As a modification 9, For example, under specific conditions such as immediately after a big hit game or during a short time state, a variation pattern determination table (hereinafter referred to as a special variation pattern determination table) other than those illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11 is used. The variation display (for example, the shortened non-reach variation pattern (PA1-4)) with a specific variation pattern may be made easier to execute than when the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG.

  As described above, when it is possible to determine the variation pattern using the special variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern is determined using the special variation pattern determination table according to the set value. The timing for switching to the determination of the variation pattern using the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11 may be varied. Specifically, when the set value is 1, the variation pattern is determined using the special variation pattern determination table until the fifteenth variation display after the big hit game ends, and after the big hit game ends After the 16th time, the fluctuation pattern is determined using the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, and when the set value is 2, until the fluctuation display until the 10th time after the big hit game ends. The variation pattern is determined using the special variation pattern determination table, and the variation pattern is determined by using the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. If the value is 3, the variation pattern is determined using the special variation pattern judgment table until the fifth variation display after the big hit game ends, and after the big hit game ends 6 subsequent times, may be determined variation pattern with variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11.

  Further, in the present modification 9, after the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed or the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed, the first tenth variation is performed. When variation display is executed with a special variation pattern, it indicates that a setting value (for example, setting value 1) advantageous to the player is set, and RAM clear processing (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is performed. A set value that is advantageous to the player (for example, for example, if the change display is executed with a special change pattern at the 30th change after the execution or the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed) Attention is paid to whether or not fluctuation display is executed with a special fluctuation pattern at a specific timing or a specific number of fluctuation displays, such as when it is determined that the setting value 1) is set. It may be as a non-resistance. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 has such a game characteristic, when the set value is 1, the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is most executed, or the pachinko gaming machine 1 When the set value set in the machine 1 is changed, the first 10th change since the change is executed with a special change pattern is high, and when the set value is 3, the RAM clear process is the most. (See Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) or the ratio at which the change is executed with a special change pattern in the first 10th change after the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed Is set to the pachinko gaming machine 1 after the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed only when the set value is 1. At special variation pattern in the first 30 varies eyes from it has set value is changed may be as variation is executed.

  Further, in the ninth modification, the switching condition (the variation for determining the variation pattern) for switching the variation pattern determination table for determining the variation pattern from the special variation pattern determination table to the variation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. Although the pattern determination table is illustrated as an example in which the number of variations until the pattern determination table is switched from the special variation pattern determination table to the variation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is changed according to the set value. The invention is not limited to this, and these switching conditions may be determined at different ratios depending on the set values.

  As described above, the switching conditions for switching the variation pattern determination table for determining the variation pattern according to the set value from the special variation pattern determination table to the variation pattern determination table shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 are different. Since it is possible to make the player pay attention to the timing when the determination ratio of a specific variation pattern (for example, shortened non-reach (PA1-4)) is reduced, it is possible to enhance the effect of the variation pattern.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which determines a fluctuation pattern using each fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG.10 and FIG.11 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As a modification 10, After the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed, or until a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) elapses after the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed, or Until a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of variation display is executed, the determination ratio of variation display of a specific variation pattern (for example, variation display of the variation pattern of super reach) is shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. You may make it increase or fall rather than the case where a variation pattern is determined using each variation pattern determination table.

  In such a case, furthermore, the change display of the change pattern of the super reach is executed at different determination ratios depending on whether the set value is 1, 2 or 3. Is determined for a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) after the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed or the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed. Since it is possible to make the player pay attention to the number of times of display of the change pattern of the super reach until a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the change display is executed, the change pattern of the super reach It is possible to enhance the production effect due to the fluctuation display. Furthermore, in the present modification 10, after the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed or until a predetermined time elapses after the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed, Alternatively, a variation pattern that can be determined only until execution of a predetermined number of variations is executed is provided for each set value, and is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 by performing variation display using the variation pattern according to these set values. The set value that has been set may be notified to the player.

  Moreover, in this modification 10, after RAM clear process (refer Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is performed or the setting value set to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed, a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) ) Or until a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of change display is executed, the determination ratio of the change pattern of the super reach varies depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 Although the form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 after the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed or Until a predetermined time elapses after a change is made or until a predetermined number of fluctuation displays are executed, a non-reach or normal reach is detected according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The determination ratio of the variation pattern other than the par reach may be different, the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed, or the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed. Until a predetermined time elapses until a predetermined number of fluctuation displays are executed, normal fluctuation patterns such as non-reach, normal reach, and super reach are set according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The determination ratios of different fluctuation patterns (for example, an extremely short fluctuation pattern with a fluctuation time of 0.1 or the like, or an extremely long fluctuation pattern with a fluctuation time of 10 minutes or the like) may be different.

  Furthermore, in the present modification 10, a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) after the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed or the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed. ) Or until a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of change display is executed, the change display is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 at a rate at which the change display is executed in a super reach change pattern. Although the form which suggests a setting value is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, It is set to the pachinko gaming machine 1 after RAM clear processing (refer to Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed. Until a predetermined time elapses from when the set value is changed or until a predetermined number of fluctuation displays are executed, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set at a rate at which a specific effect is executed. It is also possible to suggest that the set value. For example, it is possible to execute a high setting suggesting effect that suggests that the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is an advantageous setting value for the player, and a RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed. Or until a predetermined time elapses after a set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed or until a predetermined number of fluctuation displays are executed, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set. When the set value is 1 (the most advantageous setting value for the player), the high setting value suggesting effect is most easily executed, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3 (the most disadvantageous for the player). It is only necessary that the high setting value suggesting effect is most difficult to be executed.

  Moreover, in this modification 10, after RAM clear process (refer Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is performed or the setting value set to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is changed, a predetermined time (for example, 1 hour) ) Or until a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of change display is executed, the determination ratio of the change pattern of the super reach varies depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 Although the form is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 after the RAM clear process (see Sa9 shown in FIG. 20) is executed or The set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped from the previous power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 until a predetermined time elapses after the change is made or until a predetermined number of fluctuation displays are executed. Non reach depending on whether it is changed from the time of, normal reach, determining the proportion of at least one of variation patterns of super reach may be different.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the pachinko gaming machine 1 was illustrated as the pachinko gaming machine which can be controlled to a big hit gaming state based on the game ball having entered the third count switch 24B, the present invention is not limited to this. Without being limited thereto, as a modified example 11, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a probability change state in which the display state of the game state after the big hit game is changed is higher than the normal state (low probability low base state or low probability high base state). It may be a pachinko gaming machine that can be controlled to a highly accurate low base state or a highly accurate high base state. Further, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured as a pachinko gaming machine in which the gaming state can be controlled to the probable change state in this way, the big hit game ends based on the fact that the game ball has entered the third count switch 24B during the big hit game. You may comprise so that a game state can be controlled to a probability change state later.

  In this way, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to be able to control the gaming state to the promiscuous state after the big hit game based on the fact that the game ball has entered the third count switch 24B during the big hit game, The big hit type that opens the second big winning opening 712 during the big hit game, that is, the big hit type that the game ball can pass through the third count switch 24B during the big hit game (hereinafter, big hit X), and during the big hit game The big hit type 712 (hereinafter referred to as big hit Y) that does not open the second big winning opening 712, that is, the game ball cannot pass through the third count switch 24B during the big hit game, is set. It may be different depending on the value. By doing in this way, since the ratio by which a game state is controlled to a probable change state after the end of the big hit game can be varied according to the set value that has been set, the gaming interest can be improved.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the ratio which changes the display result of big display according to the set value currently set, and the determination ratio of jackpot classification differ, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, as a modified example 12, in addition to or instead of the rate at which these variable display results are jackpots or the rate of determination of jackpot type is different, the number of winning balls when a game ball wins each winning mouth Alternatively, the upper limit winning number of game balls to the big winning opening in each round during the big hit game may be varied according to the set value. Furthermore, you may make it differ according to the set value which the opening pattern of the 1st big prize opening and the 2nd big prize opening 712 in a big hit game. By doing in this way, since the number of prize balls given in the big hit gaming state can be varied according to the set value, the gaming interest can be improved.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which can produce effects, such as reach production, during the game of a fluctuation display etc. was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, As the modification 13, the pachinko gaming machine 1 A movable body may be provided so that the movable body can be operated during a game such as a variable display or a big hit game. When the movable body is provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this way, special variable winning ball device initialization control such as confirmation of the advance / retreat operation of the regulating member 721 in the second special variable winning ball device 7B is performed on the effect control CPU 120. When the operation control of the movable body and the movable body initialization control for moving the movable body to the initial position are made executable in the effect control CPU 120 and a new set value is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 ( For example, when power is turned on to the pachinko gaming machine 1 or when a new set value is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1), the effect control CPU 120 performs initialization control of the special variable winning ball device and initializing the movable body. Control may be executed. By doing in this way, a new setting value can be accurately reflected on operation | movement of the 2nd special variable winning ball apparatus 7B and a movable body. Note that such special variable winning ball apparatus initialization control and movable body initialization control are executed after execution of Sa13 or Sa14 in the game control main process shown in FIG. 20 (for example, the timing of the first timer interruption). do it.

  Further, when the production control CPU 120 can execute the special variable winning ball apparatus initialization control and the movable body initialization control in this way, the special variable winning ball apparatus initialization control is performed before the movable body initialization control. You may start from the timing. Further, the special variable winning ball apparatus initialization control may be started simultaneously with the movable body initialization control, and the special variable winning ball apparatus initialization control may be ended before the movable body initialization control. In this way, initialization control of the first special variable winning ball device 7A and the second special variable winning ball device 7B related to the winning of the game ball can be quickly performed.

  In the above embodiment, the super reach variation pattern is determined at a common rate regardless of the set value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the modified example 14 Then, the determination ratio of the super reach variation pattern may be different depending on the set value.

  In addition, in the said Example, the said modification 10 and the said modification 14, although the 1st setting value in this invention has illustrated the case where the 1st setting value is 1 and the 2nd setting value in this invention is 2 and 3, For example, the first set value and the second set value in the modified example 10 and the modified example 14 may be different set values.

  In the embodiment, the modification 10, and the modification 14, the specific variable display pattern in the present invention is a super reach variation pattern. However, the specific variable in the embodiment, the modification 10, and the modification 14 is used. The display patterns may be different variation patterns.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which provides the lock switch 51 and the setting switch 52 in the back side of the pachinko game machine 1 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, These lock switches 51 As long as the setting switch 52 is installed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, it may be on the side of the main board 11 as shown in FIG. Furthermore, by providing the lock switch 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, unless the game shop clerk opens the gaming machine frame 3, the lock switch 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 are operated. Although it is impossible, that is, the setting value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 cannot be changed unless the store clerk or the like of the game hall opens the gaming machine frame 3, the present invention is limited to this. As a modification 15, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, there is provided a security cover 500A that covers the lock switch 51 and the setting switch 52 from the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the gaming machine frame 3 is closed.

What is necessary is just to make it impossible to move from the state which has covered the setting switch 52 from the back side. When the gaming machine frame 3 is opened, the lock switch 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 can be operated by rotating the security cover 500C around a pivot (not shown).

  In the modified example 15, the lock switch 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 are covered from the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by the security covers 500A, 500B, and 500C, and when the gaming machine frame 3 is closed, the locking switch 51 and the setting switch 52 are set. Although a mode for preventing the changeover switch 52 from being illegally operated is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 34 to 37, these security covers 500A, 500B, When 500C is provided so as to overlap the main board 11, the security covers 500A, 500B, and 500C are made of a permeable resin material or the like, and the visibility of the mounting surface of the main board 11 and the sealing seal is not hindered. You may do it.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which made the pachinko game machine 1 the pachinko game machine of the 1 type 2 type mixed game type mentioned above was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, Pachinko game The machine 1 may have different game characteristics such as the probability variation loop type and the V probability variation type described above. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 has the above-described probability variation loop type or V probability variation type, the possession of the first big winning opening after the end of the specific big hit game is increased. May be provided (so-called small hit time).

  In this way, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine having the function of the small hit time, the big hit probability is varied according to the set value as in the above-described embodiment (for example, in the case of the set value 1, the normal state is The jackpot probability is 1/200 and the probability hit state probability is 1/20. When the setting value is 2, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/300 and the probability hit state probability is 1/30. Thus, when one set value is set, the initial hit probability is higher than when the other set value is set. Is higher than the case where other set values are set, so that the small hit time is likely to end. In other words, when a pachinko machine capable of executing probability variation control is equipped with a small hit time function, the higher the set value with a high big hit probability in the normal state, the higher the probability of entering the small hit time, but the smaller The hitting time is difficult to continue, and the lower the probability of entering the small hitting time, the lower the probability of entering the small hitting time, as the setting value having a low big hit probability in the normal state is set. For this reason, in the probability variation loop type and V probability variation type pachinko gaming machines 1, not only can the range of games be expanded by installing a small hitting time function, but also a setting value with a low probability of big hitting is set. Even the pachinko gaming machine 1 that is present can cause the player to play the game.

  In addition, in the above-described V probability variation type pachinko gaming machine 1, the probability variation control determination grand prize opening opening pattern in the probability variation control determination round is a long-term release pattern (the game ball is awarded to the probability variation control determination grand prize opening. Easy opening pattern) and short-term opening pattern (opening pattern in which the game ball is difficult to win the big winning opening for probability variation control), these long-term opening pattern and short-term opening pattern are set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 By determining at a different ratio according to the set value, the substantial probability change entry probability (the ratio per probability change big hit) may be varied.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type is extracted at the time of starting winning, and the big hit type is determined based on the extracted MR2 value, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, as a modified example 16, after a big hit type determination gate is provided at a predetermined position in the game area (for example, the upper position of the special variable winning ball unit 7) and the special symbol is derived and displayed in a combination indicating a big hit A random hit value MR2 for jackpot type determination is extracted at a timing when the game ball passes through the jackpot type determination gate, and a jackpot game corresponding to the jackpot type determined based on the extracted MR2 value is started. It may be. When providing a jackpot type determination gate in this way, the jackpot type is determined at a different rate according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as the jackpot type, 16 round jackpot and 4 round jackpot When the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the ratio that is controlled to the big hit gaming state of 16 rounds big hit is the highest, and the setting set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 When the value is 3, the ratio of control to the big hit gaming state of 16 rounds of big hit may be low).

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which provides the lock switch 51 and the setting switch 52 in the back side of the pachinko game machine 1 (frame 3 for game machines) was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, These lock switch 51 and setting changeover switch 52 may be provided on the front side of the gaming machine frame 3. When the lock switch 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 are provided on the front side of the gaming machine frame 3 as described above, the lock switch 51 and the setting changeover switch 52 are provided in the vicinity of the hitting operation handle and the hitting ball launching device. What is necessary is just to make it inoperable unless the glass door frame 3a is opened.
