Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that makes a determination as to whether or not there is a hit due to a ball entering a starting port, and enables a transition to a big hit game by entering a specific area when the determination is a small hit.

In conventional gaming machines, whether or not there is a special symbol variation due to a ball entering the start opening is determined, and if the determination result is a big hit, a big hit game is performed in which the big winning opening is opened for a long time. There is a game that has “one type” of game play ability and is capable of implementing an open extension game that extends the open time of the ordinary electric accessory that opens and closes the start opening after the big hit game ends (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
According to this, it is a game configuration that can be enjoyed by changing the effect of symbols not only in normal games but also in open extended games, and in open extended games, the number of times of special symbol success / failure determination increases, so a big hit can be made in a short time. Aim.

As another conventional gaming machine, if the game result of the “first type” and the determination result of the special symbol are small hits, a small hit game that opens a big winning opening with a V zone (specific area) for a short time There is a “mixer” that also has a “second type” gameability in which a big hit game is executed by entering the V zone (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
In this type of gaming machine, a game that aims at a big hit (per symbol) of a symbol in a normal game, and a game that aims to enter the V zone in the big prize opening with a small hit in an open extended game The game configuration realizes a big hit (per bonus item) in a short time.
The reason that it is possible to generate per bonus item in a short period of time is that the winning rate for the V zone is about 1/10, so it is possible to achieve a higher rate of jackpot than a game machine with a probability variation function. There are cases where it can be done, and because the result can be seen by whether or not the game ball that entered the grand prize winning slot enters the V zone, the variation effect due to symbol variation is not necessary so much and the variation time can be shortened to the limit .

JP 2002-113189 A JP 2012-050608 A

The former and the latter of the conventional gaming machines are greatly different in points of interest even in the same open extended game state due to the difference in the game configuration.
By the way, with the latter mixing machine, in the extended extended game state, while you can enjoy a game aimed at a speedy actor, you can fully enjoy a game aimed at a pattern with a pattern effect. I can not say.
Therefore, the present invention provides a gaming machine of a mixed machine type that has a high gameability that can be enjoyed both in a game with a sense of speed and with a game aiming at a symbol in an open extended game state. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine having the above.

The invention described in claim 1
An operating gate that triggers a lottery of ordinary symbols by passing game balls,
A first starting port where game balls can always enter,
A normal electric accessory that opens and closes the door according to the result of lottery of the normal symbol;
A second starting port that can be switched to a state in which it is difficult to enter a game ball by the ordinary electric accessory, or a state in which a game can be entered or a state in which it is easy to enter;
A determination unit for determining whether or not a special symbol is determined due to a ball entering the first start port or the second start port,
If it is determined that the winning combination is determined to be a big hit, the big winning game for opening / closing the big winning opening is started, and if the small winning is determined, the small winning game for opening / closing the big winning opening is started. In gaming machines,
The game area in which the launched game ball flows down includes a first game area in which the game ball can flow when the game ball is launched at the first launch intensity, and a second game area that is stronger than the first launch intensity. It is divided into a second game area where game balls can flow down when launched at launch strength,
Disposing the first start opening at a position where a game ball flowing down at least the first game area can enter;
In the second game area, a speed adjustment passage for making the flow velocity of the game ball flow constant at an upstream position thereof,
The operation gate is placed at a position where a game ball that has passed through the speed adjustment passage can enter,
The ordinary electric accessory is placed at a position where a game ball that has entered and passed through the operation gate can enter.
Further, the big prize opening is arranged at a position where a game ball that has passed through the operating gate and has not entered the ordinary electric accessory can enter the ball with a high probability,
A guiding path for guiding the game ball to the grand prize winning port is provided, and at least a part of the bottom surface portion of the guiding path is formed by the door portion of the grand prize winning port in the closed state,
And in the said guidance path, the flow speed reduction means to reduce the flow speed of the game ball which flows down the said guidance path is provided in the position corresponding to the said door part,
The flow velocity reduction means is provided with a protrusion that protrudes into the passage from the inner wall surface on the game board side and the inner wall surface on the glass frame side of the guide path,
The normal symbol winning game executed when the result of the lottery wins is a hitting game start period which is a period until the normal electric accessory starts to be opened, an opening period in which the normal electric accessory is released, It is composed of a hit game end period, which is a period from the end of opening of the ordinary electric accessory to the end of the hit game,
The winning game end period includes a first end period that is shorter than the first end period and a second end period that is longer than the first end period, and has an end period switching means for switching to either one according to a predetermined condition.

According to this, since it is configured that only game balls that have entered the normal design operating gate, passed through it, and have not entered the normal electric accessory can enter the grand prize opening, When the winning game end period is the first ending period, the result of the determination of success or failure resulting from the entry from the ordinary electric accessory to the second starting opening is determined to be a small hit, and the big winning opening is opened. However, since the game ball normally enters the electric game, it does not enter the big prize opening (the game machine does not hit the game). However, since there is a possibility that a big hit (per symbol in the mixing machine) may be caused by the determination unit, it is possible to enjoy a game aimed at the symbol during this period.
On the other hand, when the end period of the normal symbol hit game is the second end period, since the end period of the normal symbol hit game is lengthened, it is normal even if the game ball passes the normal symbol operation gate during that period. The lottery of symbols is not performed, and it is possible for the game ball to reach the winning prize as it is. Therefore, it is possible to play a game aiming at a hit of an accessory, and enjoy the game with the same feeling as an open extended game with a so-called conventional mixer.
As described above, in the mixing machine, different games, that is, per symbol and per character, can be enjoyed in the open extension game, and high game performance can be exhibited.
It should be noted that, in a period in which the hits are mainly performed, it is desirable that the symbols can be hit like the conventional structure.

In the second game area, the flow speed of the game ball is adjusted by the speed adjustment passage, so that the ball can smoothly enter and pass through the operation gate.
Furthermore, since the flow speed of the game ball can be delayed by the flow speed reduction means at the position corresponding to the normal electric power object, the normal electric power object can be reliably transferred to the normal electric power object by opening the door of the normal electric power object. You can enter.

The big prize opening may be configured to play a small hit game or a big hit game (both per symbol and per bonus) with a single big prize opening having a specific area. The game may be performed at the big prize opening and the big hit game may be played at a different second big prize opening, or may be arranged at the first big prize opening for the small hit game and the character and the second big prize opening per symbol. Good.
If there is only one big winning hole, no space is taken, and if it is the structure of the second big winning hole in the first big winning opening only during the small hit game, the special winning area will be entered at times other than the small winning game. The gaming state can be clarified without causing misunderstanding. Further, if the first big prize opening is used at the time of small hits and winnings and the second big winning opening is used at the time of winning per symbol, a specific area is used at the time of small hitting games and games per winning combination. A feeling of gaming different from the time of gaming per symbol can be produced.
Further, it is preferable that the first game area is provided with a lottery means different from the first special symbol, and the second game area is different from the second special symbol. In this way, the first special symbol and the second special symbol have a difference in the winning probability of the small hit, the first special symbol is only the big hit and the loss, the second special symbol is the big hit, the small hit and the loss By doing so, it is possible to generate small hits frequently in open extended games, and the game performance can be greatly changed between normal games and open extended games.
The normal electric accessory can enter the normal electric accessory by moving a slide plate that can be moved forward and backward on the board surface of the game board or protruding on the board surface above the entrance area. It is preferable to create an impossible state. When the slide plate protrudes (closed state), it is preferable that the game ball that has come into contact with the slide plate is guided so as to flow down to the big prize opening according to the shape and angle of the slide plate. .
Further, it is preferable that the path from the normal design operating gate to the normal electric accessory is formed by a passage formed with a width that allows only one game ball to pass. The flow speed will not change by colliding with other game balls, and it will reach the ordinary electric accessory in a certain time, and the normal symbol fluctuation time and the time of hit game according to the arrival time It is possible to design special symbol variation time and small hit game time.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 1 has a structure in which each part of the configuration is held by an outer frame 10 that forms a vertically long fixed outer frame holding frame. The outer frame 10 is provided with a front frame (glass frame) 11 in which a plate glass 110 is fitted and an inner frame (not shown) that can be opened and closed via a hinge 101 provided at the upper and lower positions on the left side. The front frame 11 and the inner frame are closed and locked to the outer frame 10 by the cylinder lock 18 so that a predetermined key is inserted into the cylinder lock 18 and the key is operated clockwise to open the inner frame. None, the front frame 11 is opened by a counterclockwise operation.
A game board 2 (FIG. 2) held by the inner frame is provided behind the plate glass 110 of the front frame 11.

  Speakers 112 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the upper portion of the front frame 11, so that game sounds are output thereby improving the game taste. In addition to the plurality of frame-side decorative lamps 113 that emit light in accordance with the gaming state, the front frame 11 is provided with a plurality of LEDs that notify the abnormality of the game.

An upper plate 12 and a lower plate 13 are integrally formed in the lower half of the front frame 11. A launching handle 14 is provided on the right side of the lower plate 13, and the launching device is operated by operating the firing handle 14 clockwise, so that the game ball supplied from the upper plate 12 faces the game board 2. Fired. A prize ball is paid out to the upper plate 12.
The lower tray 13 is configured to receive award balls overflowing from the upper tray 12, and the game balls accumulated in the lower tray 13 can be moved to another box (dollar box) provided in the game store by operating the ball removal lever.

  The pachinko machine 1 is a so-called CR machine, and is adjacent to a prepaid card unit (CR unit) CR that reads and writes a prepaid card. The pachinko machine 1 is provided with a lending button 171, a settlement button 172 and a settlement display device 173 on the right side of the upper plate 12. A game button 15 that can be operated by the player and a jog dial 16 are provided at the center of the upper plate 12 so as to surround the outer periphery thereof.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the game board 2 of the pachinko machine. In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area 20 surrounded by the outer rail 201 and the inner rail 202 is formed. In the game area, the center case 200 is mounted at a position substantially above the center. As a result, the game area 20 has a left-handed area L (first game area) where the game ball flows down when the game ball is launched at a predetermined intensity (first launch intensity), and is stronger than the predetermined intensity. (Second launch strength) It is divided into a right-handed region R (second game region) where the game ball flows down when launched. Note that a large number of game nails and windmills (not shown) are planted in the game area 20.
The center case 200 is provided with an LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 21 (not shown in its entirety) in the center. Further, an auxiliary display portion 21 </ b> A is provided at the upper left of the effect symbol display device 21. The center case 200 is provided with a warp inlet, a warp rod, a stage, and the like, as is well known.

Immediately below the center case 200, a first special figure starting port 23 (first starting port) capable of always entering (winning) is provided. A game ball that flows down from the left-handed region L through the warp kite of the center case 200 or the like easily enters the first special figure starting port 23. The first special symbol starting port 23 is a ball inlet that causes the determination of whether or not the first special symbol (hereinafter, the special symbol is referred to as a special symbol) to be executed by entering the ball. By entering the first special figure starting port 23, a plurality of types of random numbers such as the first special figure jackpot determining random number, the first special figure big hit symbol determining random number, and the first special figure variation pattern determining random number are extracted. And stored on hold. Up to four pending memories are stored. Based on these reserved memories, whether or not the first special figure is correct is determined, and the result is determined to be either big hit, small hit or lost.
In the left-handed region L, a plurality of normal winning holes 27 are arranged.

  FIG. 3 shows details of the right-handed region R, and the right-handed region R is configured so that the game ball flows down along the transparent downflow path 203. The game balls that flow down along the downflow path 203 are almost reversed at the upper part of the passage and the lower part of the passage that guide the game balls obliquely to the game board in a gentle inclination posture, and the middle part of the passage that connects these vertically. It passes through the speed adjusting passage 204 having a U-shaped shape, so that the flow speed is reduced to a constant speed. An effect detection SW 511 is installed at an intermediate portion of the speed adjustment passage 204, and entering the right-handed region R is detected by entering the ball and passing through it.

  Downstream of the speed adjustment passage 204 is provided a normal operation gate 22 of a normal symbol (hereinafter referred to as a normal figure) through which a game ball passing through the speed adjustment passage 204 can enter and pass with a high probability. The normal operation gate 22 is a cause of the fact that a game ball enters and passes, and a lottery for lottery is executed. A plurality of types of random numbers such as ordinary reach determination random numbers and ordinary variation pattern determination random numbers are extracted.

  Out ball openings 205 for taking game balls into the pachinko machine base are provided on both the left and right sides of the normal operation gate 22. These are communicated with openings (opening means) provided on the left and right side walls of the passage just upstream of the normal operation gate 22 and are configured to take in game balls that could not enter the normal operation gate 22. . That is, when the game ball enters the normal operation gate 22 and passes through, the flow speed of the ball drops, so that the subsequent game ball collides with the previous ball and sways laterally and jumps out of the passage from the opening. Capture the sphere. As a result, the game balls that continuously enter the normal operation gate 22 have a certain interval.

On the downstream side of the normal operation gate 22, a guide path 206 for guiding the game ball from the normal electric accessory operating gate 22 to the first grand prize winning opening 6A, an ordinary electric accessory (general electric accessory) 24, and a general electric A second special figure starting port (second starting port) 25 that can be opened and closed by the accessory 24 is provided. Only the game ball that has entered and passed through the universal operation gate 22 can reach the general electric utility 24 and the second special figure starting port 25.
The guide path 206 has a substantially inverted L shape so as to gently guide the game ball diagonally to the left.
The guide path 206 is configured by a door portion made of a movable flat body of the universal electric component 24 that can be opened and closed at a part of the bottom wall on the right side of the lower side that guides the game ball to the left.

If the result of the lottery of the usual figure is a win, the door part of the electric utility 24 is opened for a predetermined time.
The door portion of the electric utility object 24 is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat between a closed position projecting from the front of the game board and an open position retracted into the game board. Closed. Thereby, it is possible to guide the game ball to the first big winning opening 6A.
A second special figure starting port (second starting port) 25 is provided at a position directly below the general electric utility object 24, and it is possible to enter the second special figure starting port 25 when the general electric component 24 is opened. Yes.

  The second special figure starting port 25 is a ball entrance that causes the determination of whether or not the second special diagram is executed by the ball entry. By entering the second special figure starting port 25, a plurality of types of random numbers such as a big hit determining random number, a big hit symbol determining random number of the second special figure, and a variation pattern determining random number of the second special figure are extracted. In response to these random numbers, whether or not the second special figure is correct is determined, and the result is determined to be either big hit, small hit or lost. In addition, in this embodiment, the fluctuation time of the usual figure at the normal game is long, and the opening time of the power utility is set to a short time. The lottery at 25 is designed not to start. Therefore, in normal games, the main goal is to hit the left with the first special figure starting port 23 by left-handed.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the guide path 206 is provided with a plurality of flow velocity reduction units 207 (flow velocity reduction means) that reduce the flow velocity of the game ball at a position corresponding to the general electric utility 24. ing. The flow velocity reduction portion 207 is composed of a ridge that protrudes in a semicircular cross-section into the passage from the inner wall surface 206a on the game board side and the inner wall surface 206b on the glass frame side of the guide path 206, and each inner wall surface 206a, They are provided over their entire height along the longitudinal direction of 206b.
The flow velocity reduction portion 207 of the inner wall surface 206a on the game board side is provided at a position corresponding to the upstream terminal portion and a position corresponding to the downstream terminal portion of the door portion of the general electric utility 24, respectively. One flow rate reduction portion 207 on the inner wall surface 206b on the glass frame side is provided at a position corresponding to the middle center of the two flow rate reduction portions 207 on the game board side.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the guide path 206 is provided with a flow velocity reduction portion 207 alternately on the inner wall surface 206a on the game board side and the inner wall surface 206b on the glass frame side from the upstream side to the downstream side. Therefore, the game ball B that flows down comes to meander in contact with the respective flow velocity reduction portions 207, and the flow velocity is reduced.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the flow velocity reduction unit 207 can retain three game balls at a position corresponding to the door part of the general electric utility 24, and the door part of the general electric utility 24. These can be entered into the electric utility 24 by opening the door.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the guide path 206 is formed with an opening 208 through which a game ball can be sent out of the guide path 206 at a position immediately upstream of the portion where the flow velocity reduction portion 207 is provided. If the flow velocity of the ball drops due to the flow velocity reduction unit 207 corresponding to the door portion of the electric utility object 24 and the game ball stays, the opening 208 will be used even if many game balls later flow down. It plays the role of sending it out on the game board surface, and prevents the game ball staying on the door part of the general electric utility 24 from being washed away or causing a ball clogging.

The first big prize opening 6A provided at the downstream position of the guide path 206 can receive a game ball by opening the opening / closing door 60. Only the game ball that can enter the second special figure start opening 25 can reach the first grand prize winning opening 6A through the normal operation gate 22 and pass through the normal operation gate 22 and the second electric figure starting port 25 is inactive. Yes.
The first big winning opening 6A is opened / closed in the small hit game when the first or second special drawing is determined to be a small hit.

The game ball that has entered the first grand prize winning opening 6A is sent to the ball entering area 61 and enters either the specific area 62 or the intake opening 63 arranged in parallel at the downstream end thereof. Further, the ball entering area 61 is provided with a sorting member 64 which is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat upstream of the specific area 62 and which advances to close the specific area 62 and guides the game ball to the intake port 63.
Usually, the distribution member 64 closes the entrance of the specific region 62. The distribution member 64 is operated such that it opens and closes when, for example, a small hit game occurs, and a constant open and close operation is performed for any small hit symbol determined at the time of occurrence of the small hit. It is desirable that the specific area 62 be entered at the opening timing of the opening / closing door 60 and that it is possible and impossible to enter.

In addition, the allocating member 64 may always be repeatedly opened and closed regardless of the normal game or the small hit game. For example, when the sorting member 64 is opened once every 10 seconds for 1 second and the variation time at the time of the small hit of the second special figure is 10 seconds, the probability of entering the specific area 62 is increased. The probability can be about 1/10.
Besides the opening timing of the opening / closing door 60, the opening / closing operation pattern of the sorting member 64 or the opening / closing door 60 after the big hit game may be selected by the big hit symbol, or the opening / closing operation pattern may be selected by the small hit symbol. Conceivable. If it is a big hit symbol, the chance of becoming a big hit game can be changed depending on which symbol is big hit, and if it is a big hit symbol, the big hit symbol is expected depending on which small hit symbol is hit each time The degree can be varied.

Downstream of the first grand prize opening 6A, a second big prize opening 6B is provided that can be opened and closed by a special electric accessory (special electric accessory) 66 including a movable door portion. The second grand prize winning opening 6B enters and passes the normal operation gate 22, and the electric utility 24 does not operate and cannot enter the second special drawing start opening 25, and passes through it. 60 is non-operating and cannot enter the first grand prize winning opening 6A, and only the game ball that has passed through to the lower flow path 65 can reach.
The second big prize winning opening 6B is opened for a predetermined time when the special electric player 66 operates in the big hit game. The special electric utility 66 normally protrudes from the upper portion so as to close the second big prize opening 6B, and retracts during operation to open the second big prize opening 6B. In addition, the special electric component 66 forms a part of the lower flow path 65 so as to guide the game ball to the downstream side of the second big prize opening 6B when not operating.
Further, the lower flow path 65 is provided with a plurality of flow velocity reduction portions at positions corresponding to the special electric utility 66 in the same manner as the guide path 206 having the general electric utility 4, thereby reducing the flow velocity of the game ball and reducing the game flow. It is desirable to retain the sphere.

  An ordinary winning port 27 is provided downstream of the second major winning port 6B, and an out ball port 209 for taking in a game ball is provided at the lowermost part of the board at the lower center of the game area 20 (FIG. 2).

  The main control device 40 operates in accordance with the installed program, generates various commands related to the progress of the game based on the above-described detection signals, and the like, via the payout control device 41 and the production relay terminal board 532. Output of commands to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43 and the result of determining whether or not the first special diagram is provided on the auxiliary display portion 21A via the symbol display device relay terminal board 533 is suggested. The first special figure display device 28A, the first special figure reservation number display device 281 that suggests the number of reserved memories of the first special figure, the second special figure display device 28B that suggests whether or not the second special figure is appropriate, Display control of the general map display device 29 that suggests the lottery result of the figure is performed.

Further, the main control device 40 is connected to a first big prize opening solenoid 512, a second big prize opening solenoid 513, a distribution solenoid 514, and a general electric utility solenoid 515 through a game board relay terminal board 531. . Then, the first big prize opening solenoid 512 is controlled to open the first big prize opening 6A, and the second big prize opening solenoid 513 is controlled to open the second big prize opening 6B. Further, the sorting solenoid 514 is controlled to actuate the sorting member 64, and the universal electrical component solenoid 515 is controlled to open and close the door of the universal electrical component 24.
An output signal from the main control device 40 is output to a test signal terminal, and a management signal such as symbol variation and jackpot is sent to the hall computer 500 through the external connection terminal plate 38.
The main control device 40 and the payout control device 41 are capable of bidirectional communication.

  The payout control device 41 uses a back SW relay terminal plate 530 and a payout relay terminal plate 534 to detect that the ball tank is empty, and a payout SW522 that detects that a game ball has been paid out. A detection signal such as a full SW 523 for detecting that the game ball storage tray is full is input. Further, the payout motor 521 is operated in accordance with a command sent from the main controller 40 to pay out the game ball. Further, the CR unit CR is electrically connected to the CR unit CR via the CR unit terminal plate 535, and the ball rental and settlement SW 171 and 172 request signals for settlement and settlement are received via the settlement display device 173. Data is sent and received, and the payout motor 521 is operated in accordance with the loan request signal to pay out the rental balls, and the balance display of the prepaid card inserted in the CR unit CR is controlled.

  The firing control device 44 receives detection signals such as a switch 524 that detects a rotation operation of the firing handle, a firing stop SW 525, and a touch SW 526 that detects that the player is in contact (operating) with the firing handle 14. Based on a command sent from the main control device 40 via the payout control device 41 (which reflects the signal of the touch SW 526 and the game situation), the rotation signal of the firing handle 14 (524), and the signal of the firing stop SW 525. The launch motor 527 is controlled to launch and stop the game ball.

The sub integrated control device 42 receives operation signals such as a volume adjustment SW, a game SW 15 for detecting an operation of a game button or a jog dial, and the like.
Then, the sub integrated control device 42 drives the speaker 112 to output sound, and controls lighting and extinguishing of various LEDs and various lamps 113. Furthermore, a command for a pseudo effect for displaying a character or the like or a display pattern for a special symbol for the special symbol is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 43.

  The effect symbol control device 43 constitutes the effect symbol display device 21 together with the LCD panel unit and the accessory unit. The effect symbol control device 43 controls the display of the LCD panel of the effect symbol display device 21 in accordance with a command sent from the sub integrated control device 42.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described.
The pachinko machine 1 determines whether or not the first special figure is correct due to entering the first special figure starting port 23, and whether or not the second special figure is determined based on entering the second special figure starting port 25. Judgment is performed. In response to the determination, the first special symbol display device 28A or the second special symbol display device 28B and the effect symbol display device 21 start symbol variation. Thereafter, the confirmed symbol of the first or second special figure is confirmed and displayed on the first or second special symbol display devices 28A and 28B, and the pseudo-realistic symbol corresponding to the first or second special symbol is confirmed and displayed on the effect symbol display device 21. To notify the result of the first or second special drawing determination.
When the determination result is a big hit (per symbol), the condition device is activated to operate the accessory continuous operation device, and the second big prize opening 6B is opened in a predetermined manner advantageous for winning a prize ball. (Special game) is executed.

  On the other hand, if the result of the first or second special drawing determination is a small hit, the first grand prize winning port 6A has a disadvantage in the number of times of opening and the opening time are disadvantageous than the second big winning gate 6B of the big hit game. The small hit game released at is executed. At this time, when the game ball enters the specific area 62 of the first big winning opening 6A, the condition device is activated, and thereby the accessory continuous operation device is activated and promoted to the big hit game (per bonus item) ( It has a basic configuration that enables migration.

After the big hit game ends, according to the special figure that became a big hit or a small hit, the opening time of the power utility 24 is extended (open extension function) and the time-saving function to shorten the average fluctuation time of the special figure and the normal figure There is a possibility to shift to short games (open extended games) when is awarded.
FIG. 8 shows the gaming specifications of the pachinko machine 1, where the big hit probability is 1/199 for both the first special figure and the second special figure, and the small hit probability is 1/100 for the first special figure and the second special figure. The figure is 198/199.
In addition, the time reduction rate is 50% for the first special figure and 72% for the second special figure, and the number of time reductions is 100 times for both the first special figure and the second special figure (number of symbol fluctuations) or the next big hit. ing. As a result, aiming at the big hit by the first special figure in the first special figure, and when the short time is given by the big hit, the second special figure is judged to be a big hit with high probability, so it will be in a specific area during the small hit game. It is possible to enjoy a game aiming for a big hit in a different way depending on the game state, aiming to generate a big hit by winning.
In the short-time gaming state, the pachinko machine 1 makes a right turn, wins a normal drawing lottery, and is opened frequently by the operation of the electric utility 24 of the hitting game of the normal drawing. The design of the second special figure will be changed aiming at. In this case, the hit game of the ordinary figure is a hit game start period which is a period until the start of opening of the electric utility object 24, an opening period of opening of the electric utility object 24, and the winning game is ended after the opening is completed. It is composed of a hit game end period, which is a period until the game is finished, and as a hit game end period (end effect time) of the normal hit game, a first end period with a short effect time and a second end with a long effect time A period is provided, and these are selected according to the situation of the game and switched to control the game time per game, so that the game balls to the second special figure starting port 25 and the first grand prize winning port 6A can be controlled. By controlling the entry, you can fully enjoy both the game aimed at the symbol by the variation of the 2nd special figure and the game aimed at the role by entering the 1st big prize opening 6A. It is a configuration. That is, in the first ending period, the normal game play time is shortened, so it is difficult to enter the first special winning opening 6A although it enters the second special figure starting port 25 and aims at the symbol hit. It will be. On the other hand, in the second end period, the usual hit game time becomes long, so that it is possible to enter the first grand prize winning opening 6A and aim at the winning combination.

Hereinafter, details of the operation will be described based on a program process executed by the main controller 40.
FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of a “main routine” executed by the main controller 40. The “main routine” is composed of this process (S100 to S110, S115) and the remaining process (S111), and has a cycle of 2 ms or 4 ms. It is started due to the interrupt signal, and it is first determined whether or not it is a normal interrupt (S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not the above-described normal interruption is made is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), an initial value random number update process (S101), a big hit determination random number (random number counter) update process (S102), which is a random number value for determining whether or not the first or second special figure is correct, Random number determination random number (random number counter) update process (S103) of 1 or 2 special figure, random number determination random number counter (random number counter) update process (S104), reach of 1st or 2nd special figure Reach determination random number (random number counter) update process (S105), fluctuation pattern determination random number (random number counter) update process (S106) related to the fluctuation pattern of the first or second special figure, winning confirmation process (S107), The initial value random number is updated within the remaining time until the interrupt signal is input next after performing the determination process (S108), each output process (S109), and the fraud monitoring process (S110). Sense the (S111) to loop processing.

Next, a part of subroutines of the winning confirmation process (S107), the success / failure determination process (S108), and each output process (S109) which are deeply related to the present invention will be described.
In the “start opening winning process” shown in FIG. 10, various random numbers such as success / failure random numbers extracted when a game ball enters the first special figure starting opening 23 are stored in the main controller 40 as reserved storage ( Remember. Then, various commands resulting from entering the first special figure starting port 23 are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. In the present embodiment, the number of reserved storages that can be stored is four in the first reserved storage number.

In the “start opening winning process”, first, it is determined whether or not the first special figure start opening SW503 detects a ball entering the first special figure start opening 23 (S200). If there is no entry (S200: no), the process proceeds to S204. If there is an incoming ball (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of first reserved memories stored in the main controller 40 is less than the upper limit (= 4) (S201). If it is the upper limit value (S201: no), the process proceeds to S204, and if it is less than the upper limit value (S201: yes), the first special figure jackpot determination random number, jackpot symbol determination random number, reach determination in the process of S202 A random number, a random number for determining a variation pattern, and the like are extracted, the various random numbers extracted are stored as a first reserved memory, and 1 is added to a first reserved memory counter indicating the first reserved memory number.
A first hold number instruction command indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in the subsequent processing of S203 is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42.

Next, a “special figure success / failure determination process” for determining whether or not the first special figure or the second special figure is true will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14. In the following description, unless the first special figure or the second special figure needs to be distinguished, the two are regarded as equivalent and simply referred to as “special figure”.
As shown in FIG. 11, in the “win / fail determination process”, first, in the process of S300, it is checked whether or not the condition device is not operating and whether or not a big hit game is being played. If the condition device is operating (S300: no), the process returns.
If the condition device is not in operation and the big hit game is not being played (S300: yes), it is confirmed in the processing of S301 whether the fluctuation of the special figure is stopped. If the fluctuation is stopped (S301: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S302 whether the special symbol of the special figure is not displayed (S302).

If the confirmed symbol is not displayed in the process of S302 (S302: yes), it is confirmed in the process of S303 whether there is a ball entering the second special figure starting port 25 or not. If there is an incoming ball (S303: yes), in the process of S304, various random numbers such as a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, etc. of the second special figure are extracted to determine whether it is correct or not. It becomes the object of.
On the other hand, if there is no ball entering the second special figure starting port 25 (S303: no), it is confirmed whether or not the first special figure is on hold in the process of S305.
If there is a hold memory of the first special figure (S305: yes), a shift process of the hold memory is performed in the process of S306. The random number of the oldest hold memory among the hold memories becomes the object of the success / failure determination by the shift process. In this way, it is conceivable to determine whether or not the second special figure is given priority over the first special figure. However, since the short-time grant rate is different between the first special figure and the second special figure, when the short-time game is started, the first special figure having a lower grant rate is preferentially determined to be successful. It is conceivable that a short-time game is performed in an environment where there is no reserved memory of the first special figure. If this is the case, it becomes easier to prevent a situation in which the first special figure fluctuates in the middle of a short time, and the grant of the short time is lost due to winning, and the advantage of the gaming state can be clarified.
If there is no ball entering the second special figure starting port 25 and no holding storage of the first special figure (S305: no), the process returns.

  Following the process of S304 or the process of S306, in the process of S310 shown in FIG. 12, the success / failure determination is performed by comparing the determination table for success / failure and the random number for determining the big hit of the random number to be determined for success / failure, It is confirmed whether or not the determination is a big hit (per symbol). If it is a big hit (S310: yes), the big hit symbol is determined based on the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the random number that is the target of the success determination in S311, and the target of the success determination in the processing of S312 The variation pattern (variation time) is determined based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the random number and the current gaming state (short time state, normal state).

Next, in the jackpot content setting process in S313, the contents of the jackpot game (special game) based on the value of the jackpot symbol determination random number (opening pattern of the second big prize opening 6B, opening effect time, ending effect time, etc.) And the game state after the big hit game is set.
After that, in the process of S314, a special figure change start command including data (big hit, small hit, loss type, presence / absence of reach, change time, etc.) indicating the success / failure determination result is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control. While outputting to the apparatus 43, the 1st special figure display apparatus 28A or the 2nd special figure display apparatus 28B performs the process which carries out the variable display of the 1st special figure or the 2nd special figure. Then return.

  If it is not a big hit in the process of S310 (S310: no), it is determined in the process of S315 whether or not the value of the random number for jackpot determination matches the small hit value of the hit determination table. If it is a small hit (S315: yes), the small hit symbol is determined based on the value of the random number for symbol determination in the process of S316.

In the subsequent variation pattern determination process of S317, for small hits of the first or second special figure displayed on the first or second special figure display devices 28A, 28B according to the random number value for fluctuation pattern determination and the current gaming state. Determine the variation pattern.
Next, in the small hit content setting process in S318, the content of the small hit game (opening pattern of the first big winning opening 6A, opening effect time, ending effect time, etc.) and small value based on the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol The game state after the hit game is set. Further, a small hitting game time is set in accordance with the game state, for example, a rate of entering a specific area. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S314 to perform this process.

  If neither the big hit nor the small hit is obtained in the processes of S310 and S315 (S310, S315: no), the determination of success or failure is lost, and after the lost symbol is determined in the process of S319, the fluctuation pattern of the loss is determined in the process of S320. decide. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S314 to perform this process.

If the variation of the special figure is not stopped in the process of S301 of FIG. 11 (S301: no), the process proceeds to S330 of FIG. 13 to check whether the fluctuation time of the special figure has elapsed. If the fluctuation time has not passed (S330: no), the process returns.
On the other hand, when it is confirmed that the fluctuation time has elapsed (S340: yes), a symbol stop command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 in the process of S331.
If it can be confirmed that the symbol is a big hit symbol in the subsequent processing of S332 (S332: yes), the processing of causing the first special symbol display device 28A or the second special symbol display device 28B to display the big hit symbol in the processing of S333 is performed. .

Subsequently, the operation of the condition device is started in the processing of S334, and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started in the processing of S335. The condition device is a device that is necessary for the operation of the continuous action device in the jackpot game, and the continuous accessory operation device is a device that continuously operates the special electric accessory.
After that, if it can be confirmed that the time F (flag) is “1” (medium time) (S336: yes) in the process of S336, the time F is reset to “0” in the process of S337. In the process of S338, “1” is set to the big hit F (flag). Then return.

If it is not confirmed in the process of S332 that the symbol is a big hit symbol (S332: no), it is checked in S339 whether the symbol is a small hit symbol. If it is not possible to confirm that the symbol is a small hit symbol (S339: no), in the process of S340, the first special symbol display device 28A or the second special symbol display device 28B is subjected to a process of confirming and displaying the small hit symbol.
Thereafter, if it can be confirmed in the process of S341 that the time reduction F (flag) is “1” (medium time reduction) (S341: yes), the time reduction F is reset to “0” in the process of S342. Further, the count value of the hour / hour counter for limiting the number of times / hours game is given in the processing of S343 is stored. As a result, the game is continued from the short time after the small hit game is completed and from the short time when the small hit occurs. Then, in the process of S344, “1” is set to the small hit F (flag). Then return.

  If it is neither a big hit symbol nor a small hit symbol in the processes of S332 and S339 (S332, S339: no), it is a lost symbol, so in the process of S345, the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B is used. A process of finalizing and displaying the lost symbol is performed.

  In the subsequent process of S346, it is confirmed whether or not the time reduction F is “1” (whether or not the time reduction is in progress). If the time reduction F is “1” (S346: yes), the process of S347 The time reduction counter is subtracted, and it is confirmed whether or not the count value subtracted in the subsequent processing of S348 is “0”. If the count value is “0” (S348: yes), the time reduction ends, and the time reduction F is reset to “0” in the process of S349. Then return.

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 11 (S302: no), as shown in FIG. 14, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed in the process of S350 (S350: yes), In the finalized symbol display end process of S351, a command related to the end of the finalized symbol display of the first special symbol display device 28A or the second special symbol display device 28B, the end of the finalized symbol display to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43. Send and return.

FIG. 15 shows the types of jackpot symbols and jackpot symbols determined in the processing of S311 and S316, the jackpot corresponding to these jackpot symbols (per symbol), the game content of the game, and the jackpot to jackpot corresponding to the jackpot symbol ( Shows the game contents of the jackpot game that has moved to "per bonus item".
There are four types of jackpot symbols of the first special chart: “special one jackpot symbols 1 to 4”.
In each of the big hits with “special 1 big hit symbol 1 and 2”, a game in which the second big prize opening 6B is opened for 29 seconds is defined as one round, and a big hit game is performed in which this round is four rounds. After the big hit game is over, it will not be transferred to a short-time game.
For the big hit of “special 1 big hit symbol 3”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big winning opening 6B is opened for 16 rounds. After the big hit game is over, it will be a short-time game until the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the short-time game, the second end period (end interval) having a long end effect time in the usual hit game is set, and the hitting of the bonus item is aimed.
For the big hit of “special 1 big hit symbol 4”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big winning opening 6B is opened for four rounds. After the big hit game is over, it will be a short-time game until the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the short-time game, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure is 1 to 49, the first end period (end interval) having a short end effect time in the normal hit game is set, and the symbol hit is aimed. After that, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure reaches 50 times, the hit game of the normal figure is switched to the second end period to aim for the bonus game.

There are two types of jackpot symbols of the second special chart: “special one jackpot symbols 1, 2”.
For the big hit of “special 2 big hit symbol 1”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big winning opening 6B is opened for 8 rounds. After the big hit game is over, it will be a short-time game until the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the short-time game, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure is 1 to 49, the first end period having a short end effect time in the hit game of the normal figure is set. Thereafter, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure reaches 50, the game is switched to the second end period in the hit game of the normal figure.
For the big hit of “special 2 big hit symbol 2”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big winning opening 6B is opened for 16 rounds. After the big hit game is over, it will be a short-time game until the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the short-time game, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure is 1 to 69, the first end period having a short end effect time in the hit game of the normal figure is set. Thereafter, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure reaches 70, the game is switched to the second end period in the hit game of the normal figure.

There are two types of small hit symbols of the first special figure, “Special 1 small hit symbols 1 and 2”.
A bonus game in which the second big prize opening 6B is opened for 15 rounds is performed for each bonus from “special 1 small bonus symbol 1”. After the big hit game is over, the game is not shifted to the short-time game.
A bonus game in which the second big prize winning opening 6B is opened for three rounds is performed for each bonus from “special 1 small bonus symbol 2”. After the big hit game is over, it will be a short-time game until the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times. During the short-time game, the second end period is set in the hit game of the usual hit game.

There are two types of small hit symbols of the second special chart: “Special 2 small hit symbols 1, 2”. At the time of winning the “special 2 small hit symbol 1”, a big hit game in which the second big prize opening 6B is opened for 7 rounds is executed.
On the other hand, in the case of a special feature of “special 2 small hit symbol 2”, a big hit game is performed in which the second big winning opening 6B is opened for 15 rounds.
In any of the symbols, after the big hit game is over, the special symbol is changed to a short-time game until the number of changes of the special symbol reaches 100 times. Further, during the short-time game, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure is 1 to 49, the first end period having a short end effect time in the hit game of the normal figure is set. Thereafter, when the number of fluctuations of the special figure reaches 50, the game is switched to the second end period in the hit game of the normal figure.
In the second special figure, the big hit game content and the short-time game content are more advantageous in the case of the symbol big hit directly due to the fluctuation of the symbols than in the bonus game developed from the small hit.

  Next, based on FIG. 16 to FIG. 22, “special game processing” which is processed by the main control device 40 and performs the big hit game and the small hit game will be described. As shown in FIG. 16, the “special game processing” first checks whether or not the big hit F is “0” in the processing of S500. If the big hit F is “0” (S500: yes), it is not a big hit, so it is confirmed in the processing of S501 whether the small hit F is “0”. If the small hit F is “0” (S500: yes), it returns because it is neither a big hit nor a small hit.

  If the small hit F is not “0” in the process of S501 (S501: no), as shown in FIG. 17, it is confirmed whether or not the small hit start effect is being performed in the process of S510. If the small hit effect is being performed (S510: yes), it is checked whether the small hit start effect time has elapsed in the processing of S511, and if the passage of time can be confirmed (S511: yes), the first big winning opening in S512 is subsequently opened. In the process, the opening / closing door 60 of the first grand prize winning opening 6A is opened in the manner set in the above-mentioned S413 (win / fail determination process, FIG. 10). In the subsequent processing of S513, a ball entering the specific area 62 of the first big winning opening 6A is detected and validated.

  If the small hit start effect is not being performed in the processing of S510 (S510: no), it is confirmed in S514 whether or not the first big prize winning opening 6A is being opened. If the first big prize opening 6A is not open (S514: no), it is checked in the process of S515 whether the specific area 62 is valid. If the specific area 62 is not valid (S515: no), it is checked in the process of S516 whether or not the small hit end effect is being performed. If the small hit end effect is being performed (S516: yes), the process in S517 is performed. It is confirmed whether or not it is a small hit end production end time. If it is the production end time (S517: yes), the small hit F is reset to “0” in the subsequent processing of S518 and the small hit game is ended. Further, in the process of S519, “1” is set to the time reduction F, and the time reduction is continued after the small hit game ends. In this process, the storage of the time reduction counter stored in the process of S343 is set to the number of time reductions. Then return.

  If the small hit end effect is not being performed in the process of S516 (S516: no), the small hit start effect process is performed in the process of S520, whereby the small hit start command is sent to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Send. Then return.

If the first big prize opening 6A is open in the process of S514 (S516: yes), as shown in FIG. 18, the number of balls entered into the first big prize opening 6A is a prescribed number in the process of S521. Check if the number has reached 10. If it is confirmed that the specified number has been reached (S521: yes), the first big prize opening 6A is closed in the process of S523.
On the other hand, if the specified number has not been reached (S521: no), it is confirmed in the processing of S522 whether or not the opening time of the first big winning opening 6A has ended. If the end of the opening time can be confirmed (S522: yes), the first big prize opening 6A is closed in the processing of S523.

  If the opening time of the first grand prize opening 6A has not ended in the processing of S522 (S523: no), or if the specific area 62 is valid (S515: yes) in the processing of S515, as shown in FIG. In step S530, it is confirmed whether or not there is a pitch (winning) in the specific area 62.

If there is a ball entering the specific area 62 in the processing of S530 (S530: yes), the operation of the condition device is started in the processing of S531 and the processing of S532, and the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is started.
If it is confirmed in the subsequent process of S533 that the first big prize opening 6A is being opened (S533: yes), the first big prize opening 6A is closed in the process of S534, and the specific area 62 is further processed in the process of S535. Disable.
Thereafter, the effect start start effect is set in the process of S536, and thereby a start per command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then, the small hit F is reset to “0” in the process of S537, and “1” is set to the big hit F in the process of S538. This shifts from small hits to bonuses. Then return.

  If there is no entry into the specific area 62 in the process of S530 (S530: no), it is confirmed in the process of S539 whether or not the effective period of the specific area 62 has ended, and if the effective period has ended (S539: yes), the small hit end effect is set in the process of S540, and thereby a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then return.

If the big hit F is not “0” in the processing of S500 (S500: no) and the big hit F is “1” in the processing of S502 (S502: yes), as shown in FIG. It is confirmed whether or not the second big prize opening 6B is being opened. If it is not open (S550: no), it is confirmed in the processing of S551 whether or not it is during the big hit interval.
If it is during the big hit interval (S551: yes), it is confirmed whether or not it is the interval end time in the process of S552, and if it is the interval end time (S552: yes), the second big prize opening in the process of S553 Open 6B. Then return.

If it is not in the interval in the process of S551 (S551: no), it is checked in the process of S554 whether or not the big hit end effect is being performed. If not in the end effect (S554: no), the big hit in the process of S555 Check if the start performance is in progress.
If the jackpot start effect is being performed (S555: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot start effect time has elapsed in the process of S556, and if the elapse of the effect time can be confirmed (S556: yes), the second process is performed in S557. The big prize opening 6B is opened. Then return.

  If the jackpot start effect is not being performed in the process of S555 (S555: no), the jackpot start effect process is performed in the process of S558, thereby transmitting the jackpot start command to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then return.

If the second big prize opening 6B is open in the process of S550 (S550: yes), as shown in FIG. 21, the number of balls entered into the second big prize opening 6B is a specified number in the process of S560. Check if the number has reached 10. If it is confirmed that the specified number has been reached (S560: no), the second big prize opening 6B is closed in the process of S562.
On the other hand, if the specified number has not been reached (S560: no), it is confirmed in the process of S561 whether or not the opening time of the second big winning opening 6B has ended. If the end of the opening time is confirmed (S561: yes), the second big prize opening 6B is closed (S562).

In the subsequent processing of S563, it is confirmed whether or not the final round of jackpot has ended. If it is not the end of the final round (S563: no), an interval between opening (big hit interval) process is performed in the process of S564, and a big hit interval command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then return.
On the other hand, if it is the end of the last round (S563: yes), the big hit end effect process is performed in the process of S565, and the big hit end command is thereby transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43. Then return.

  If the jackpot end effect is being performed in the process of S554 (FIG. 18) (S554: yes), as shown in FIG. 22, it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot end effect time has elapsed in the process of S570. If the progress can be confirmed (S570: yes), the condition device is stopped in the process of S571. And in the process of S572, the said accessory continuous operation apparatus is stopped.

  In the subsequent processing of S573, it is confirmed whether or not to give a short time after the big hit game is finished, according to the special figure that is a big hit or a small hit. When assigning a time reduction (S573: yes), “1” is set to the time reduction F in the process of S574. Next, in the process of S575, the game state after the end of the big hit game is set, and when the time is given, “100” which is the limit number is set in the time counter. In the process of S576, the big hit F is reset to “0” and the big hit game is ended.

  When the game state shifts to the short-time game state after the special bonus jackpot game is over, the player can aim to win the normal game, so that the game is switched to the right-handed game. Next, the process for determining whether or not the normal game is successful and the process for hitting the normal game will be described.

  In the “normal figure determination process” shown in FIG. 23, it is confirmed in the process of S400 whether the general utility 24 for opening the second special figure starting port 25 is in operation, and if it is not in operation (S400: no). ), It is confirmed whether or not the normal diagram is fluctuating in the process of S401, and if it is not fluctuating (S401: no), it is confirmed in the process of S402 whether or not the fixed symbol of the common figure is displayed. In addition, if the general electric utility 24 is in operation (S400: yes), the process proceeds to the “general drawing game process” described later.

If the confirmed symbol is not being displayed in the process of S402 (S402: no), it is confirmed in S403 whether or not there is a ball entering the normal operation gate 22, and there is a ball entering the operation gate 22. For example (S403: yes), various random numbers such as a normal hit determination random number, a symbol determination random number, and a variation pattern determination random number are extracted in the process of S404 and are subjected to determination of success or failure.
If there is no entry to the operation gate 22 (S403: no), the process proceeds to the “normal game process”.

  After the process of S404, in the process of S410 shown in FIG. 24, the time F (flag) is confirmed to confirm whether the current gaming state is in the normal change (high probability) (the time F is 1). If there is any change) If the probability change is in progress (S410: yes), the success / failure determination is performed using the high-probability determination table in S411. If the probability change is not in progress (S410: no), whether or not it is determined based on a normal probability (low probability) determination table in S412 is performed. In the process of S413, it is confirmed whether or not the result of the determination in the process of S411 or S412 is a hit. Note that, in the normal determination of success / failure, the winning probability during probability change is about 1.

  If it is a win in the process of S413 (S413: yes), a win symbol of the normal figure is determined based on the random number for symbol determination in the process of S414, and a normal code is determined based on the random number for determination of the variation pattern in the process of S415. Determine the fluctuation pattern per figure. In the subsequent processing of S416, the contents of the normal hit game (opening pattern (opening period) of the general electric utility 24, start effect (winning game start period), end effect (winning game end period)) and the like are set.

  As the setting of the winning game end period, either “first end period” or “second end period” is set by “general content setting process 1” shown in FIG. In this process, it is confirmed whether or not the number of changes in the special symbol in the process of S450 has reached a predetermined number (see FIG. 17) set according to the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol that triggers the short-time game. . For example, if the big hit symbol is a special 1 big hit symbol 4, a special 2 big hit symbol 1, and a special 2 small hit symbol 1 or 2, it is checked whether or not the special symbol has reached 50 times. If it is a special 2 big hit symbol 2, it is confirmed whether it has reached 70 times.

If the number of changes in the special symbol has not reached the predetermined number (less than the predetermined number, S450: yes), the first end period is set in the process of S451.
On the other hand, if the number of fluctuations of the special symbol has reached the predetermined number (S450: no), the second end period is set in the process of S452. Then return.
When the jackpot symbol is a special one jackpot symbol 3, the second end period is set regardless of the number of fluctuations of the special symbol. In the special jackpot symbol 2, the first end period is set regardless of the number of fluctuations of the special symbol. Is done.

Returning to FIG. 24, in the process of S413, if the normal figure is not hit (S413: no), the variation pattern of the loss is determined in the process of S417.
After the process of S416 or S417, in the process of S418, a change start of the general display display device 29 and a general change display start command are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43. Move to “Game processing”.

When the normal symbol is changing in the process of S401 in FIG. 23 (S401: yes), as shown in FIG. 25, it is confirmed that the change time of the normal symbol has passed in the process of S420 (S420). : Yes), a command for confirming and displaying the universal symbol is transmitted to the definite symbol display of the universal symbol display device 29, the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 by the fixed symbol display setting process of S421.
Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the base figure that is confirmed and displayed in the process of S422 is a winning combination, and if it is a winning combination (S422: yes), the hitting game start effect process of S423 is shown. As a result, a command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 so as to start the hit effect, and the process proceeds to “general game processing”.

  When the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the process of S402 in FIG. 23 (S402: yes), as shown in FIG. 26, when it is confirmed that the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed in the process of S430 (S430: yes), In the finalized symbol display end process of S420, the final symbol display end of the general symbol display device 29, a command to end the display of the normal symbol to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the effect symbol control device 43 are transmitted, and the “general symbol game processing” Migrate to

  In the “general-purpose game process” shown in FIG. 28, first, it is confirmed in the process of S600 whether or not the general electric utility 24 is open. If the general electric utility 24 is not open (S600: no), it is confirmed in the processing of S601 whether the end effect per ordinary figure is being performed, and if it is not in the end effect per ordinary figure (S601: no), in the processing of S602 It is confirmed whether or not the start effect time per base diagram has elapsed, and if the start effect time per base diagram has elapsed (S602: yes), the main electric utility 24 is released in the main power release process of S603 and the process returns.

  If the power utility 24 is open in the process of S600 (S600: yes), as shown in FIG. 29, has there been 10 (a prescribed number) of balls in the power utility 24 in the process of S610? If it is confirmed whether or not the opening time of the general electric utility 24 has expired in the process of S611, and either can be confirmed (S610, S611: yes), the general electric utility 24 in the process of S612. Is closed, an ordinary drawing end process is executed in the process of S613, and the process returns.

  If it is in the process of ending the normal map in the process of S601 in FIG. 28 (S601: yes), as shown in FIG. 30, it is confirmed whether the end effect time per base map has elapsed in the process of S620, If the time has elapsed (S620: yes), the process of transmitting the universal symbol end command is executed in the process of S621, and in this process, the universal symbol end command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the production symbol control device 43. , The game ends per game and returns.

The pachinko machine 1 configured as described above performs a left-handed game in a normal gaming state and aims at a big hit game aiming at the first special figure starting port 23. When the game shifts to a short-time game after the big hit game, a right-handed game is performed and a goal is to enter the second special figure starting port 25.
For example, the big hit game end of the “special one big hit symbol 4” is a short-time game up to the number of fluctuations of the special figure up to 100 times, and the first end period as the normal game hit game end period up to the first 49 times. The second half is the second end period.
In this case, up to 49 times in the first half, as shown in FIG. 31 (a), when the game ball (A) enters and passes through the operation gate 22, the lottery of the normal map and the change of the normal map are started. The usual fluctuation time is set so that the game ball (A) that has passed through the operation gate ends before reaching the universal utility 24.
In the short-time game state, the normal drawing lottery is won with a probability of almost 100%, so after the change of the normal drawing, the game start effect (1) (indicated by a circled number in the figure) is performed. In the start effect, the hit game start period is set to an extremely short time during which the game player 24 opens before the game ball (a) reaches the game machine 24.
That is, the fluctuation of the ordinary figure and the hitting game start period of the ordinary figure are finished before the game ball (A) reaches the universal electric component 24, and the universal electric component 24 is released. (A) enters the second special figure starting port 25 by opening the electric utility 24.

  During the opening period in which the general electric utility 24 of the hit game is opened, the gaming ball (A) that has entered the operation gate 22 and passed through the gaming ball (A) continuously passes through the electric utility 24 and It is desirable to set the time to reach the second special figure starting port 25. As a result, the game ball (A) enters the second special figure starting port 25. It should be noted that a game ball that passes through the operation gate 22 continuously may be hit by a game ball that has been decelerated during the passage as described above, so that there is a certain distance between the two consecutive game balls. Aki.

When the opening time is over and the utility model 24 is closed, as the winning game end effect, the effect is performed in the first end period (2) of an extremely short time, similar to the winning game start effect (1). It is desirable that the first end period (2) is set so that the effect ends before the game ball passes the operation gate 22 after the game ball (A). That is, the winning game end period is made shorter than the interval between the two consecutive game balls.
Thereafter, when the game balls (C) and (D) pass through the operation gate 22, a lottery and a symbol change of a normal figure are newly started by using them. Then, the game balls (c) and (d) enter the second special figure starting port 25 with the universal power 24 opened by the winning of the normal figure.
In this way, when the first end period is set as the per game end period of the game per base figure, the game ball that has entered and passed through the operation gate of the base figure enters the second special chart start opening 25. Thus, the possibility of reaching the first grand prize opening 6A is significantly reduced. Therefore, when the first end period is set, it is possible to entertain a game aiming for the symbol by changing the special figure caused by entering the second special figure starting port 25.

When the game progresses and the number of fluctuations of the special figure reaches 50 times and the per game end game end period is switched to the second end period, as shown in FIG. When the ball (A) enters and passes, a hit game is performed, and the game ball (A) and the subsequent game ball (I) The ball enters the second special figure starting port 25 by opening.
Thereafter, the utility model 24 is closed and the end effect is performed in the second end period. In this case, the second end period is made longer than the time required for the game ball (c) that has passed through the operation gate 22 after the operation end (opening period) of the general electric component 24 to pass through the general electric component 24. Therefore, since the game ball (c) passes through the operation gate 22 during the usual game, the game ball (c) is not newly drawn by the game ball (c). Accordingly, the game ball (c) can pass through (pass) the general electric goods 24 and the second special figure start opening 25 without reaching the first special winning opening 6A. Then, when a small hit game is executed with the game ball (a) entering the second special figure starting port 25, the game ball (U) enters the first big winning port 6A. You can aim for a bonus.

As described above, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment switches the game-per-game end period of the game per game between the short first end period and the long second end period. It is possible to entertain a player with a game aimed at and a game aimed at a role.
In addition, it is not always necessary to switch the per game end period of the game per regular figure in the short-time game, for example, it may be the second end period for all the short-time games after the big hit game of the “special 1 big hit symbol 3”, You can play a game that intensively aims at each object. On the other hand, the first end period may be used, such as the short-time game after the big hit game from the small hit of the “special 1 small hit symbol 3”, and a game that focuses on the symbol hit point can be achieved.

Next, based on FIG. 32, in the effect symbol display device 21 of the pachinko machine 1, the effect display indicating that the first end period in the short-time gaming state is set, and the second end period are set. An example of the display mode of the effect display that suggests that there is.
FIG. 32A shows the effect display when the first end period is set. A limited number of times display 210 indicating the remaining number of short-time games is displayed at a position near the upper left of the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21. Further, the time-short game is indicated as “during Tatsuyoshi RUSH”, and the first end period is set, and the per-symbol mode display 211 indicating that the mode is aimed at per symbol. The main character Kuma no Tatsuyoshi 212 is displayed on the right side of the upper end of the display screen, and a pseudo effect pattern 213 made up of a three-digit numerical value corresponding to a special figure is displayed in the lower half of the display screen.

  Next, when the second end period is set, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), the limit number display 210 is displayed on the upper half portion of the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21, and the bonus game is played in the short-time game. A mode-per-function display 214 indicating that the mode is aimed at the target is performed. Then, in the lower half of the display screen, Tatsuyoshi Bear bears a V effect display 215 that tries to grab "V", and the ball enters the specific area 62 of the first big prize opening 6A. Therefore, it is desirable that Tatsuyoshi grabs V and performs an effect of acquiring interest per character. If the action of jumping indicates the occurrence of a small hit and the opening timing of the first big winning opening 6A, the player can grasp all by just looking at the character.

FIG. 32C shows the effect display when switching from the first end period to the second end period. In this case, the limit number display 210 and the bear's Tatsuyoshi 212 are displayed on the upper half of the display screen of the effect symbol display device 21 and a mode continuation display indicating whether or not the mode aiming at the display symbol is continued. 216 is performed. In the lower half of the display screen, the mode card 217 indicating the per-design mode and the mode card 218 indicating the per-function mode are variably displayed, and one of the cards is confirmed and displayed. It is desirable to indicate whether the winning game end period of the winning game has been switched.
This effect is the time when the game end period of the game per game is switched between the short game after the big hit of the “special 1 big hit symbol 4” and the short game after the big hit of the “special 2 big hit symbol 2” However, it will increase the player's expectation. In addition, the short game after the big hit of the “Special 1 Big Bonus Symbol 3” and the short game after the big hit that has shifted from the small bonus of the “Special 1 Small Bonus Design 2” will switch the per game end period of the game per common figure Increase the expectation of whether or not In this way, it is possible to create a game that aims at a symbol per game and a game that aims at a bonus by simply switching the operation content of the game per normal diagram in one short-time game, and it is possible to perform a variety of games Become.

In the right-handed region R, the flow speed of the game ball is adjusted by the speed adjustment passage 204, and the action effect of the opening (release means) and the out-ball mouth 205 arranged in parallel with the normal operation gate 22 is achieved. The entrance to the usual operation gate 22 and the passage are smooth.
Further, due to the action and effect of the discharge means and the out-ball opening 205, the entrance into the normal operation gate 22 is provided with a certain distance, and at a position corresponding to the general electric utility 24, the flow velocity reduction part 207 is provided. Since the flow velocity of the game ball can be reduced by the above, the game ball enters the normal electric accessory 24 and the second special-purpose start opening 25 reliably at an appropriate timing by opening the door portion of the general electric player 24. Can be made.
Also in this case, the flow velocity reduction unit 207 causes the flow velocity of the ball to drop more than necessary at a position corresponding to the door portion of the electric utility object 24 and the game balls stay, and many game balls flow down later. However, they are released from the opening port 208 onto the game board surface, and have an effect of preventing the game balls staying on the door part from being pushed out or causing a ball clogging.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the previous embodiment, the hit game end period of the hit game of the normal figure is configured to be switched according to the number of fluctuations of the special figure set based on the big hit symbol of the special figure. The game end period is configured to set the first end period or the second end period in accordance with the normal symbol winning pattern that triggered the normal symbol hitting game. The basic configuration of this embodiment is almost the same as that of the previous embodiment, and differences will be described.

In the process of S416 shown in FIG. 22, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment shifts to “normal content setting processing 2” shown in FIG. 2 Set the end period.
That is, in the “common symbol content setting process 2”, it is confirmed in the process of S460 whether or not the universal symbol is a predetermined predetermined symbol, and if it is not the predetermined symbol (S460: no) ), In the process of S461, the normal hit game end period is set to the first end period.
If the hit symbol of the usual figure is a predetermined hit symbol determined in advance in the process of S460 (S460: yes), the hit game end period of the usual figure is set as the second end period in the process of S462.

According to this embodiment, the same effect as the first embodiment is exhibited. In addition, since the game that aims at which win will be determined by the hit pattern of the usual figure, the game that does not know which game will be changed for each change, as in the previous embodiment, without being understood by the number of fluctuations Play sex.
Furthermore, since the winning symbol is determined by lottery, it is random which symbol is selected, and it is uncertain which game ratio will be higher at the same number of short-time games, and the element of luck will increase. is there.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first and second embodiments, the winning game end period of the normal game is switched between the first end period and the second end period having different production times, thereby aiming to win a symbol in a short-time game. Although it is the structure which switches whether it is set as a game or the game aiming at the hit of an actor, in this embodiment, the opening time (the opening mode of the ordinary electric power) of the hit electric game 24 in the normal game is long. By switching between the first public train release mode and the second public train release mode with a short opening time, it is configured to switch between a game aiming at a symbol or a game aiming at an object. is there. The basic configuration of this embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, and the differences will be described.

In the process of S416 shown in FIG. 24, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment shifts to “contents setting process 3 per common figure” shown in FIG. Or the 2nd general electric train opening mode is set up.
That is, in the “per-game content setting process 3”, the number of changes of the special figure in the process of S470 is a predetermined number of times set according to the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol that triggers the short-time game (the first figure in FIG. 13). And (see the second end interval column). For example, if the big hit symbol is a special 1 big hit symbol 4, a special 2 big hit symbol 1, and a special 2 small hit symbol 1 or 2, it is checked whether or not the special symbol has reached 50 times. If it is a special 2 big hit symbol 2, it is confirmed whether it has reached 70 times.

If the number of fluctuations of the special figure has not reached the predetermined number of times (less than the predetermined number, S470: yes), the first public power release mode is set in the processing of S471.
On the other hand, if the number of fluctuations of the special symbol has reached the predetermined number (S470: no), the second public power release mode is set in the process of S472. Then return.
When the big hit symbol is “special one big hit symbol 3”, it is set to the second open mode regardless of the number of fluctuations in the special symbol, and in the special one small hit symbol 2, the number is changed regardless of the number of fluctuations in the special symbol. 1 It is set as a mode of open electric power. Note that the second electric power release mode significantly shortens the opening period of the ordinary electric utility, so that the game ball that has passed the normal operation gate 22 as shown in FIG. Since it reaches the accessory 24, if it opens only at that time, it will enter a ball with high probability. Therefore, a special drawing will be drawn even if it is opened for a short time, and a small hit game will be started, so that the game balls that have flowed down later (see FIG. 33 (b) (b)) will enter the electric utility 24. It is possible to reach 6A.
With this configuration, the previous embodiment has a possibility that a game ball that has passed through the operation gate of the usual figure during the game end period will enter a plurality of large winning holes, whereas the game period per figure is Since it is shorter, the period during which the normal operation gate is disabled is short, and the number of game balls that can be passed during the disabled period is limited, so it may reach the specific area 62 in units of one ball. It is suitable for a game configuration showing whether or not it can be done. For example, as in a specific area of two types of gaming machines, it is suitable for gaming machines that are provided with sorting means and that can be enjoyed in the manner of the flow of gaming balls.

This pachinko machine performs a left-handed game in the normal gaming state and aims at a big hit game aiming at the first special figure starting port 23. When the game shifts to a short-time game after the big hit game, a right-handed game is performed and a goal is to enter the second special figure starting port 25.
For example, the end of the big hit game of the “special one big hit symbol 4” is a short-time game up to 100 times of the fluctuation of the special figure, and the first half of the first half is the first open mode until the first half 49 times. The electric release mode is adopted.
In this case, up to 49 times in the first half, as shown in FIG. 35 (a), when the game ball (A) enters and passes through the operation gate 22, the lottery and the fluctuation of the normal diagram are started. The usual fluctuation time is set so that the game ball (A) that has passed through the operation gate ends before reaching the universal utility 24.
In the short-time gaming state, the normal drawing lottery is won with a probability of almost 100%, so that the start effect (1) of the game per normal drawing is performed after the fluctuation of the normal drawing. In the start effect, the effect time is set to an extremely short time when the game ball (a) opens before the game object 24 reaches the service object 24.
In other words, the change of the usual figure and the start effect of the hit game of the usual figure are finished before the game ball (A) reaches the ordinary electric utility 24, and the electric utility 24 in the first ordinary electric release mode. Is opened, and the game ball (A) enters the second special figure starting port 25 by the opening of the electric utility item 24.

  The opening time of the power utility 24 in the first power train opening mode is such that the game ball (A) that has entered the operation gate 22 and passed through the game ball (A) continuously passes the 2 It is desirable to set the time to reach the special figure starting port 25. As a result, the game ball (I) also enters the second special figure starting port 25. As described above, there is a certain distance between the consecutive game balls (A) and game balls (A).

When the opening time is over and the utility model 24 is closed, an end effect (2) of an extremely short time is performed in the same manner as the start effect (1). The end effect (2) is preferably set so that the effect ends before the game ball passes through the operation gate 22 next to the game ball (A). That is, the end effect time is made shorter than the interval between the two consecutive game balls.
Thereafter, when the game balls (C) and (D) pass through the operation gate 22, a lottery and a symbol change of a normal figure are newly started by using them. Then, the game balls (c) and (d) enter the second special figure starting port 25 with the universal power 24 opened by the winning of the normal figure.
As described above, when the first electric power release mode is set as the main electric power release mode of the electric utility object 24, the game ball that has passed through the normal operation gate enters the second special figure start opening 25. As a result, the possibility of reaching the first grand prize opening 6A is significantly reduced. Therefore, during the period in which the first normal train opening mode is set, it is possible to entertain a game aimed at the symbol by variation of the special figure caused by entering the second special figure start opening 25.

When the game progresses and the number of fluctuations of the special figure reaches 50 times, the normal power release mode of the general utility 24 is switched to the second general power release mode, as shown in FIG. 35 (b). When the game ball (a) enters and passes through 22, the usual hit game is performed, and the general electric utility 24 is opened in the second normal electric power release mode. In this case, it is desirable that the opening time of the electric utility object 24 is shorter than at least the time required for the gaming ball (a) following the gaming ball (a) to pass through the electric utility object 24.
The game ball (A) enters the second special figure starting port 25 by the release of the second electric utility object 24 in the second electric power release mode. However, since the second electric figure 24 closes immediately, the following game ball ( It becomes possible to pass through (pass) these without passing through the electric utility 24 and the second special figure starting opening 25 and reach the first big winning opening 6A. Then, when a small hit game is executed with the game ball (a) entering the second special figure starting port 25, the game ball (I) enters the first big winning port 6A. You can aim for a bonus.

As described above, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment switches the normal power release mode of the general electric utility 24 between the long-time first public power release mode and the short-time second general power release mode. In this case, it is possible to entertain a player with a game aiming at a symbol and a game aiming at an object.
In addition, it is not always necessary to switch the mode of opening of the electric power utility in the short-time game. For example, the second electric power release mode can be used for all the short-time games after the big hit game of the “special one big hit symbol 3”. Well, you can play intensively aiming at the per character. On the other hand, as in the short-time game after the big hit game from the small hit of the “special 1 small hit symbol 3”, all may be in the first ordinary electric power release mode, and the game aiming at the symbol hit point can be performed.

  In the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, when the general electric utility 24 is opened in the first general electric release mode, as shown in FIG. 36, from the symbol variation of the special figure to the end of the small hit game, It is desirable to end the opening of the electric utility item 24 according to the first normal electric power release mode. By doing in this way, it is possible to make a one-to-one relationship between the operation of the ordinary drawing and the operation of the special drawing. In addition, as a standard to correspond, in addition to the opening time of the general electric utility 24, it may correspond to the normal game hit game period, or may correspond to the period from the normal symbol fluctuation to the normal game hit game end. May be.

As a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied, the general power release mode of the general power utility 24 of the normal game may be set to a general power release mode that combines the open time and the number of open times. Good. The present embodiment has the same basic configuration as the third embodiment.
As shown to Fig.37 (a), it is set as the 1st open | release which consists of predetermined | prescribed opening time as a 1st general electric power release mode. As a predetermined opening time, the game ball (a) that entered and passed the operation gate 22 continuously after the game ball (a) that triggered the normal game by entering and passing the operation gate 22 It is desirable to set the time to reach the electric utility 24 and the second special figure starting port 25. As described above, there is a certain distance between the consecutive game balls (A) and game balls (A).

In the first public train opening mode, the game ball (A) and the subsequent game ball (A) enter the second special figure starting port 25.
Thereafter, when the game balls (C) and (D) pass through the operation gate 22, a lottery and a symbol change of a normal figure are newly started by using them. Then, the game balls (c) and (d) enter the second special figure starting port 25 with the universal power 24 opened by the winning of the normal figure.
As described above, when the first electric power release mode is set as the main electric power release mode of the electric utility object 24, the game ball that has passed through the normal operation gate enters the second special figure start opening 25. As a result, the possibility of reaching the first grand prize opening 6A is significantly reduced. Therefore, during the period in which the first normal train opening mode is set, it is possible to entertain a game aimed at the symbol by variation of the special figure caused by entering the second special figure start opening 25.

As shown in FIG. 37 (b), the second power transmission opening mode is a power transmission opening mode in which opening with an extremely short opening time is performed twice at a predetermined interval.
As the opening time, at least the game ball (A) following the game ball (A) that triggered the normal game by entering and passing through the operating gate 22 passes through the general utility 24. It is desirable to make it shorter than the time required for. Further, it is desirable that the predetermined interval is longer than at least the time required for the game ball (a) to reach the general electric utility 24 after passing through the operation gate 22.
According to the illustrated example, the game ball (A) enters the second special figure starting port 25 by the opening of the electric power utility 24 in the second electric power release mode, but the electric power utility 24 is immediately closed. Therefore, the game balls (I) and (U) during the interval pass through (pass) the general electric utility 24 and the second special figure starting port 25 without reaching the first big winning port 6A. It becomes possible. Then, when a small hit game is triggered by the game ball (a) entering the second special figure starting port 25, the game balls (b) and (c) are moved to the first big prize port 6A. Because it enters the ball, you can aim to hit the role. Since the opening of the electric train is performed twice, there is a case where the player enters the ball with the second opening, and there is a possibility that the player may win the first big winning opening 6A. If the number of times of opening is further increased to increase the chances of winning a big prize opening, there is a possibility that a bonus will be generated even when the symbol is in the main gaming state. It can also be a gaming machine that switches between a desired game period and a game period in which it is possible to win a bonus.

  As described above, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment saves time by switching the normal power release mode of the general electric utility 24 between the first general power release mode and the second general power release mode having different opening times and the number of times of opening. In the game, it is possible to entertain a player with a game aiming at a symbol and a game aiming at an object.

  In the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, according to the number of fluctuations of the special figure set based on the big hit symbol of the special figure, the public power release mode of the general electric utility 24 of the normal figure hit game is set. However, as a fifth embodiment to which the present invention is applied, the normal power release mode of the normal power utility 24 of the normal game is changed to the normal game that triggered the normal symbol hit game. You may comprise so that a 1st normal power release mode or a 2nd general power release mode may be set according to a winning design. This embodiment has the same basic configuration as the third or fourth embodiment.

In the process of S416 shown in FIG. 22, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment shifts to the “per-game content setting process 4” shown in FIG. Or the 2nd general electric train opening mode is set up.
That is, in the “normal symbol content setting process 4”, it is confirmed in the process of S480 whether or not the universal symbol is a predetermined predetermined symbol, and if it is not a predetermined symbol (S480: no) ), In the process of S481, the normal power release mode of the normal power utility 24 in the normal game is set to the first normal power release mode.
If the hit symbol of the normal figure is a predetermined hit symbol determined in advance in the process of S480 (S480: yes), the public power release mode of the general electric utility 24 of the hit game of the normal figure is determined in the process of S482. It is set to the 2nd public power open mode.

According to the present embodiment, the same operational effects as those of the third and fourth embodiments are exhibited. In addition, since it is determined whether the game that aims to hit a symbol or a role depends on the normal hit symbol, it is not known by the number of variations as in the third or fourth embodiment. It plays a game that you don't know which game it will be.
Furthermore, since the winning symbol is determined by lottery, it is random which symbol is selected, and it is uncertain which game ratio will be higher at the same number of short-time games, and the element of luck will increase. is there.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can of course be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in any of the above-described embodiments, the ordinary figure and the second special figure are configured not to hold storage, but the invention is not limited to this.
However, if the hold is stored in the ordinary figure and the second special figure, for example, the special figure may fluctuate a plurality of times when the usual figure does not fluctuate, so that the gaming situation becomes complicated. For this reason, it is better not to hold the ordinary figure and the second special figure so as to prevent the situation from becoming complicated and to simply have a one-to-one relationship between the fluctuation of the ordinary figure and the second special figure. desirable.

  Furthermore, the present invention provides a predetermined number of game balls enclosed in a pachinko machine base, and fires the enclosed game balls toward the game area of the game board, collects the launched game balls, and collects the collected games. You may apply to the enclosed pachinko machine which plays a game using a predetermined number of game balls inside by circulating a ball again.
