Abstract

To provide a pinball game machine having a nonconventional game interest within a small win rush.SOLUTION: A board surface is configured such that game balls can enter not only a second start pocket but also a first start pocket during a small win rush, and the small win rush is completed when a special pattern 2 is won in an 8-round normal time shortened with no symbols. When a variation for causing a special pattern 1 to win is started, a matchless zone performance shown in (b) is configured to be started and not to cause the special pattern 2 to result in a jackpot during execution of the variation. Therefore, the small win rush is not completed during execution of the matchless zone performance during the small win rush. Thus, a game machine that allows a player to play a game while wishing execution of the matchless zone performance during the small win rush and hence has an unprecedented game interest can be achieved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 20

Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine (hereinafter, also referred to as a pachinko machine, a ball game machine, simply referred to as a game machine), and more particularly to a ball game machine having a function called small hit rush.

  Many current pachinko machines have a function of increasing the probability of hitting after a predetermined big hit game (a state in which the probability of hitting has risen is referred to as a high probability state or a probability change). Whether or not to be in a high probability state is determined by the hit symbol (If it hit with a probability variation symbol after the big hit game will be a high probability state, if hit with a normal symbol will be a low probability state after a big hit game) Many models. The termination of the high probability state is triggered by hitting with a normal symbol or when the special symbol changes a predetermined number of times. The specification for which the high probability state ends when the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times is also called ST, and it is a game machine having a thrilling game characteristic that it must be applied a predetermined number of times before the special symbol fluctuates. Can. In addition, there is also an advantage that it is possible to realize a specification that will always be in a high probability state after a big hit game if hit.

  An ST-spec gaming machine (also referred to as a ST machine) has a disadvantage that if it fails to hit within the predetermined number of times, the meaning of obtaining a high probability state is lost. Therefore, the game machine is configured such that a small hit frequently occurs during the predetermined number of times, and the player's ball is gradually increased by entering the large winning opening opened at the small hit. Have also been proposed (e.g., Patent Document 1). These specifications are called super small hit rush, or just small hit rush. According to this specification, every time a small hit occurs, the player's ball increases, so the more prize balls are given by the small hit as the hit within the predetermined number of times occurs later, the above-mentioned A player who fails to place a game within a predetermined number of times can obtain the largest number of winning balls that can be obtained during a small hit rush, instead of getting a big hit due to a big hit.

  Further, there is also a model configured to continue small hit rush until the next big hit substantially by making the predetermined number of times a large number (for example, 10,000). According to this configuration, it is possible to increase the holding ball the smaller the hit, without worrying about the number of changes. In such a model, there are many that are supposed to hit the end condition of the small hit rush with a normal symbol.

JP, 2015-13042, A

  However, the above-described configuration merely waits for a state in which small hits frequently occur, and has a problem that it is monotonous as game characteristics.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a ball-and-ball game machine having an unprecedented game interest during a small hit rush.

  The invention according to claim 1 made in view of the above problems has a first starting opening, a second starting opening different from the first starting opening, and a large winning opening that is opened and closed at least in a small hit game in the game area. Random number value extraction means for extracting a random number value due to the game ball entering the first starting opening or the second starting opening; After changing the special symbol for a predetermined period of time and the special symbol determining means for determining the special symbol indicating the result of the determination of the suitability of the appropriateness determination means, the special symbol determined by the special symbol determining means is displayed in a definite manner By the special symbol control means for notifying the player of the judgment result of the success or failure, the jackpot execution means for performing a big hit game when the result of the success or failure judgment made by the success or failure judgment means is a big hit, and Wake up into If it is determined that a small hit game is to be performed by the small hit determination means, which determines whether or not to play a small hit game based on the random number value extracted by the random number value extraction means It is fluctuated due to the ball entering the 2nd starting opening which is done after the big hit game due to the small hit game execution expedient which executes the aforementioned small hit game, and the fact that the specified big hit game is executed The fluctuation time shortening means for shortening the fluctuation time of the special symbol, and the fluctuation time initializing means for returning the fluctuation time shortened by the fluctuation time shortening means to the normal due to the big hit game different from the predetermined big hit game. And the variation of the special symbol performed by the special symbol control means due to the ball entering the first start opening, and the special symbol control means performing due to the ball entering the second start opening Same variation of special symbol The probability of being judged to play the small hit game by the small hit judging means is higher than the probability of being judged to play the big hit game by the big hit judging means, and the fluctuation time is shortened In the gaming state where the fluctuation time is shortened by the means, the small winning game is executed by the small hitting game execution means due to the second starting hole being won, the small winning game is executed to the first starting hole In a ball game machine capable of playing a game more advantageous to the player than letting the player do, a big hit game different from the predetermined big hit game is executed due to the entry into the second starting opening, The game ball launched aiming at the second starting opening is configured to be able to enter the first starting opening as well, and is extracted by the random value extraction means due to the entering of the first starting opening. To the random value If the result of the success or failure judgment based on the jackpot is a big hit, during the fluctuation performed by the special symbol control means based on the judgment of suitability, a big hit game will occur due to the ball entering the second starting opening And a special effect executing means for executing a special effect, the special effect executing means performing the special effect while the prohibition is made by the jackpot game prohibiting means. It is characterized in that it is to be executed.

  Here, a plurality of first starting ports may be present. For example, there are two, the first start opening that accidentally enters the ball when aiming at the second start opening, and the first start opening different from the first start opening, and the latter does not aim at the latter A configuration that does not enter the ball can be illustrated. In this configuration, entering the first start opening occurs when aiming at the latter, and entering the second opening and entering the former (first opening) when aiming at the second opening. Occur. Moreover, "a big hit game different from a predetermined big hit game" can illustrate a big hit game in which the special symbol determined by the special symbol determination means is different. Further, in a gaming machine provided with a definite change opening, which will be described later, it can be said that a big hit game in which the game ball enters the positive change opening and a big hit game in which the gaming ball does not enter the positive change opening are different.

  The jackpot game prohibition means function is that when the variation being performed due to the entry into the first starting opening hits, the big hit gaming is executed due to the entry into the second starting entry It means that there is no. In addition, to "prohibit a big hit game being executed", it is considered that if it is determined to be a hit, the player is forced to lose, or if it is determined to be a hit, the player is forced to make a small hit. In addition, in the case where the variation performed due to the ball entering the first starting opening is hit, it may be considered that the specification that does not perform the propriety determination itself due to the ball entering the second starting opening is made. In addition, because it is "the big hit game due to the entry to the 2nd starting opening" that the big hit game prohibition expedient prohibits the occurrence, "the big hit game due to the entry to the 1st starting opening" occurs Also good. In addition, since the big hit game prohibition means does not prohibit the occurrence of a small hit due to the ball entering the second starting opening, a small hit can occur. Furthermore, in the case that the variation being performed due to the entry to the second starting opening hits, the specification that the big hit game is not executed due to the entry to the first starting entry is added Also good. Note that "a small hit due to the ball entering the first starting opening" may be generated. Also, the fluctuation time initialization means returns the shortened fluctuation time to the normal due to the big hit game executed due to the ball entering the second starting opening, but to the first starting opening The fluctuation time may be returned to normal due to the jackpot game executed due to the entering of the ball. The pass / fail judgment means and the small hit judgment means do not have to be completely separate. For example, if there is one type of random number shared in both determinations and the random number has a certain value, the acceptance determination means determines that it is a hit (a big hit occurs), and the random number has a predetermined value different from the predetermined value. In this case, the small hit determination unit may determine that "the small hit game is to be performed".

  The special effect execution means has the possibility to execute the special effect while the occurrence of the big hit game is prohibited by the big hit game prohibiting means, “while the big hit game prohibited means is prohibited It is not something that necessarily notifies that. For example, "while the prohibition is made by the jackpot game prohibition means, the notification may be made by the special effect executing means. However, the notification is not made even though the prohibition is not made" It is a meaning.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the ballistic ball game machine according to the first aspect, a big hit game different from the predetermined big hit game is caused by the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening. It is characterized in that it is not executed.

  According to this configuration, "the game state in which the variation time is shortened is not ended" due to the variation being performed due to the ball entering the first starting opening being hit.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the gaming state (also referred to as a time saving state) in which the variation time is shortened, the first starting is performed by the small hitting game executed due to winning the second starting opening. It is a more advantageous specification for the player than winning a mouth. A small hit rush can be illustrated as this specification. One of the end conditions of the time saving condition is to hit, but if the result of the judgment of acceptance made due to the ball entering the first starting opening is a hit, the special symbol based on the judgment of appropriateness While is being fluctuated, it is prohibited by the big hit game prohibition means that the big hit game occurs due to the ball entering the second starting opening. Therefore, during this time, the time saving state does not end at least because the ball hit due to the ball entering the second starting opening. Moreover, in the time saving state, the prohibited state notification effect execution means may notify the player that the big hit game prohibiting means prohibits the above. The player who notices the notification can know that the time saving state does not end at least while the change is being performed. And since the big hit prohibition means does not prohibit the occurrence of the small hit, the player can enjoy the advantageous game by the small hit while the notification is made. According to such a gaming machine, in the time-saving state, the player has an unconventional game interest of playing a game in the hope that the notification will be performed.

  By the way, in the case where the result of the judgment of acceptance made due to entering the first starting opening is hit, it is prohibited that the big hit game is generated due to entering the second starting opening However, due to the big hit game that is executed due to the entry to the first starting opening, the time saving state may end. Therefore, while it is understood that the player who noticed the notification does not end the time saving state due to the entry into the second start opening, the big hit game is executed due to the entry into the first start opening. It is driven by fear that time saving state may end by what. In this respect, in the present invention as set forth in claim 2, the time saving state is never ended by the big hit game being executed due to the game ball entering the first starting opening. Therefore, it can be appreciated that a big hit game is generated due to entering the first starting opening.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 in the first embodiment will be described. As described above, this pachinko machine 50 has a probability change function when the game ball enters the first large winning opening 21 during the big hit game and the game ball enters the probability change opening 15 of the probability change determination device 13 as well. Is activated, and the gaming state after the big hit game becomes a probability variation state in which the probability of being hit or not is high. In addition, a definite change state continues until the next big hit with the time saving state mentioned later.

  In the big hit game, the first big winning opening 21 is opened. Therefore, the pachinko machine 50 may formally operate with a probability change function at every big hit, and the nominal probability change rate is constant regardless of the type and hit pattern of the big hit special hit (100 %).

  However, as the opening pattern of the big hit game, the opening pattern (low probability pattern) that becomes the low probability state after the big hit game by opening the first large winning opening 21 when the shutter 14 is closed, and the first when the shutter 14 is opened There is an open pattern (high probability pattern) in which a high probability state is obtained after the big hit game by opening the big winning opening 21. In a big hit game in which the opening pattern is a low probability pattern, entry into the probability changing port 15 is very rare, and in a big hit game in which the opening pattern is a high probability pattern, the probability changing port 15 is entered easily. Whether the open pattern is a low probability pattern or a high probability pattern is determined by the big hit design, and the high probability pattern is 100% for the big hit according to the first special figure and 60% for the big hit according to the second special figure.

  The outline of the specification of the pachinko machine 50 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the probability that a big hit in the normal probability (also referred to as low probability) occurs is 1/200 in both the first special figure and the second special figure, and in the high probability state, the first special figure and the second special figure The special figure is 1/50. The small hit is not present in the first special view, and the second special view is 198/200 in the normal probability and 48/50 in the high probability state. The small hit probability of the second special view may be 198/200 in both the normal probability and the high probability state. The first special figure is 100% and the second special figure is 60% of the ratio (called high probability state rush rate, or probability change grant rate) that the game state immediately after the big hit occurs becomes high probability state. Also, immediately after the big hit in the second special view, time saving may be given, and immediately after the big hit in the first special view, the time saving is always given. In addition, the fluctuation time of the first special figure and the second special figure is shortened in the short time state.

  The time-saving and high-probability states continue until the sum of the number of changes in the first special figure and the second special figure reaches 10000. This essentially means continuing until the next big hit. Time saving occurs with a high probability state, and ends when the second special symbol is hit with a normal symbol (eight round regular time short symbols not described later). Precisely, when the second special symbol hits with the normal symbol, the opening pattern of the first big winning opening 21 becomes difficult to enter into the probability changing opening 15, so the second special symbol is substantially the normal symbol As a result of hitting, time saving ends. In addition, even if the second special symbol is hit with a probability variation symbol (4 round specific time short symbol pattern or 8 round specific time short symbol symbol to be described later), if it fails in entering the probability change port 15, time saving ends Do. This is the same as when hit with the first special symbol. The fluctuation time of the first special view in the time saving state is an average of 2 seconds at the time of losing, and an average of 2 minutes at the time of big hit. The fluctuation time of the second special figure in the time saving state is 2 seconds when lost and when hitting small, and 2 minutes on average when hitting big. Further, the fluctuation time of the first special view in the non-time-short state (also referred to as the normal state) is 12 seconds on average when lost, and 2 minutes on average in the big hit time as in the time-short state. The fluctuation time of the second special view in the non-time-short state is an average of 10 minutes at the time of losing and at the time of small hit, and at the same time as the time-short state, the time of big hit is 2 minutes on the average.

  In the number of rounds of the jackpot game, there are two types of four rounds and eight rounds in both the first special figure and the second special figure. More specifically, there are two types of jackpots according to the first special view: 4 round jackpots with high probability state and time reduction after the jackpot, and 8 round jackpots with high probability state and time reduction after the jackpot. On the other hand, the big hit according to the second special figure is 8 round big hit with normal probability and time loss after big hit, 4 round big hit with high probability state and short time after big hit, 8 round big hit with high probability state and short after big hit There exist three types of (the details will be described later with reference to FIG. 21).

  The outline of the game progress of the pachinko machine 50 is as follows. At the start of the game, the game is in a non-time-short state, and when the player strikes the right and enters the second starting opening 16, the second special figure fluctuates for 10 minutes. In this case, since the pass / fail judgment is performed only six times at most in one hour, the time efficiency is very bad. On the other hand, the fluctuation time of the first special figure is an average of 12 seconds (see FIG. 6. Note that the fluctuation time of FIG. 6 omits “average”. The fluctuation time of FIGS. , The player will make a left strike. Then, when the big hit in the first special view and the high probability state and the time reduction state after the big hit, the fluctuation time of the second special figure is shortened to 2 seconds on average (in the case of a small hit), so the player makes a right strike . When the second starting opening 16 enters the ball, the second special figure hits small with a probability of 49/50, so a small hit occurs frequently. I will call this a small hit rush. When a small hit occurs, the second large winning opening 20 is opened for two seconds or opened until one second large winning opening 20 is entered. When one ball is entered into the second large winning opening 20, there are ten winning balls, so the player's ball gradually increases during the small hit rush.

  If the second special figure is hit with the eight round regular time short symbol during the small hit rush, the time saving state ends with the high probability state, and the player again strikes the left. If the second special figure hits with a symbol other than that or the first special figure hits with an optional hit symbol, the state after the end of the big hit becomes a short time state and a high probability state again, and becomes a small hit rush. In addition, even if the second start hole 16 enters the ball and the second special figure starts to change for 10 minutes despite the non-short time condition, the specification can also change the first special figure simultaneously with the change. (Details will be described later), so the player is not forced to play a game that is extremely time-efficient.

  A process for realizing the game progress will be described. First, FIG. 7 shows a main routine executed by the main control unit 80 of the pachinko machine 50. This main routine is started as a timer interrupt process of 2 ms cycle, but may be started at an interrupt cycle other than 2 ms.

  In S10, it is determined whether or not the main routine has been activated by a normal timer interrupt, and if a positive determination is obtained (S10: Yes), the process proceeds to S20, and if a negative determination is obtained ( At S10: No), at S15, initialization of the CPU, I / O, etc. is performed, and the process proceeds to S70. When the affirmation determination is obtained in S10, the update of the initial value random number (S20), the update of the big hit determination random number (S25), the update of the big hit symbol determination random number (S30), the update of the hit determination random number (S35) , Update the reach determination random number (S40), and update the variation pattern determination random number (S45).

  The winning confirmation process (S50) for detecting the winning of the gaming ball to the winning opening such as the starting opening and the like or not determining processing (S55) for performing the big hit lottery due to the winning for the starting opening and the sub integrated control device Data and commands are sent to 83 and the like, and each output process (S60) for sending various information to the hall computer 87 and the like, and a fraud monitoring process (S65) for detecting the fraudulent behavior of the player are performed.

  In addition, the big hit game processing for performing the big hit game is performed following the success or failure determination processing. Then, at S70, the initial value random number is repeatedly updated until the next timer interrupt occurs and the main routine is started.

  Next, the start opening winning a prize confirmation process executed by main controller 80 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. The present process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process executed from the main routine.

  In S100, it is determined based on the detection signal of the first starting opening SW11a, 12a whether or not the winning of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 or the first starting opening 12 has occurred. Then, in the case of an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to S105, and it is determined whether the number of pending storages for the first special view is less than the maximum value (4 as an example). If the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), the process proceeds to S110.

  In S110, the jackpot determination random number used for the jackpot lottery, the jackpot random number for determining the symbol (hit symbol) to be displayed stopped when hitting the jackpot lottery, or whether it will be reach by the symbol effect The random number for reach determination for determining whether or not, the variation pattern determination random number for determining the variation time of the special symbol, and the like are extracted. Then, the extracted random number is stored as pending storage for the first special figure, and the process proceeds to S115. In the case of a negative determination (S100: no), the process proceeds to S115. The process also proceeds to step S115 if the determination in step S100 is negative or if the determination in step S105 is affirmative.

  In S115, based on the detection signal of the second starting opening SW 16a, it is determined whether a winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 16 has occurred. Then, in the case of a positive determination (S115: yes), the process proceeds to S120, and it is determined whether the number of pending storages for the second special figure is less than the maximum value (4 as an example). In the case of a positive determination, the process ends (returns).

  The process performed in S125 is the process performed with respect to the first special figure in S110 with respect to the second special figure. Then, the extracted random number is stored as pending storage for the second special figure, and the process is ended. This process also ends when the determination in step S115 is negative.

  In the first special symbol suitability determination process shown in FIGS. 9 to 10, main controller 80 determines whether the special electric symbol is in operation whether the big hit flag or the small hit flag (described later) is set (set If it is, it is judged based on (in operation) (S150). If the determination in S150 is negative and the first special symbol is not in motion (S155: no) and is not in display of the final symbol (S160: no), the process proceeds to S215 of FIG. , S110 determines whether or not there is a pending storage). If there is this pending storage (S215: yes), the first pending storage number is decremented (S230), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol in change (here, the second special view) is a big hit (S240) .

  If the negative judgment, that is, the second special drawing is not a big hit, the process proceeds to S245. In S245, the oldest of the pending storages is read (the pending storage is deleted), the read jackpot determining random number is compared with the hit value stored in the table, and it is determined whether or not the big hit (S250) ). It should be noted that the determination in the processing of S240, S250, and S279 described above is performed by selecting the high probability table or the low probability table depending on whether or not the current gaming state is the high probability state. If S250 is affirmation determination, it will transfer to S256 and will determine a hit symbol by the random number for jackpot symbol determination. The relationship between the jackpot symbol determination random number and the hit symbol is shown in FIG. 21 (a). In FIG. 21A, the big hit symbol determination random number is described as a special figure 1 determination random number, and the hit symbol is described as a special symbol 1 stop symbol, and the lost symbol is also shown.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (a), when the big hit symbol determination random number is 0 to 9, the symbol 1 is as a hit symbol, and if the big hit symbol determination random number is 10 to 19, it is a hit symbol for the symbol 2, big hit symbol determination If the random number is 20-29, the symbol is 3 as a hit symbol. If the random number for big hit symbol determination is 30 to 39, the hit symbol is 4; if the big hit symbol determination random number is 40 to 49, the hit symbol is 5, symbol 5 If the big hit symbol determination random number is 50 to 59, it is a hit symbol. If the big hit symbol determination random number is 60 to 69, it is a hit symbol. If the big hit symbol determination random number is 70 to 79, it is a hit symbol. The symbol 8 is set as the winning symbol in the case of the symbol 8 and the random number for determining the big hit symbol 80 to 89, and the symbol 10 is set as the winning symbol in the case of the random number for determining the big hit symbol 90 to 99. Further, the symbol 22 is assigned to the missing symbol.

  And the symbols 1 to 8 are 4 rounds (denoted as R in this figure) at a specific time when there are special symbols, and when hit with these symbols, a big hit consisting of 4 rounds is generated that is easy to enter into the probability change port 15 The state after the big hit becomes a high probability state and a short time state. And when the symbols 9 and 10 are 8 rounds specific short-lived symbols and hit with these symbols, a big hit consisting of 8 rounds is generated which makes it easy to enter the definite change port 15, and the state after the big hit Is a high probability state and a short time state. In addition, even if it hits with design 1-10, when it is not possible to enter the ball with a definite change opening, the state after the big hit does not become a high probability state. Since 10 random symbols for determining the big hit symbol are assigned to the symbols 1 to 10, the ratio (sorting) that the combination of symbols becomes the 4-round specified-time short owned symbol and the 8 round specified-time short owned symbol is 80/100. , 20/100.

  Return to FIG. When the big hit design is decided in this way, the fluctuation pattern is decided by the fluctuation pattern decision random number (S260). In the process of S260, a variation pattern such as a variation time for a big hit of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 is determined, and in the following S263, a game state setting process is executed. In the gaming state setting process, the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is set based on the big hit symbol determined in S255, and the process proceeds to S265.

  If it is determined in S250 that there is a disengagement, the process proceeds to S268. In addition, when affirmation determination is carried out in S240 (ie, when the 2nd special symbol in fluctuation hits), it shifts to S268. In S268, the variation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number. Thus, when the fluctuation pattern is set by S268, the process proceeds to S265. In addition, when affirmation determination is carried out in S240, the special symbol (special figure 2) which is not performing the judgment of yes or no of S250 does not perform the special symbol (first special figure) of us in the case of a hit. Is equivalent to forcibly determining a loss.

  In S265, the data showing the above-mentioned lottery results, specifically the data showing the special symbol, the big hit, the out of reach (with out but reach indication), the out of out of reach indication, and the fluctuation specifying the fluctuation time A variation start command (display control command) including pattern data is transmitted to the sub integrated control apparatus 83. The value of the current short time flag is also transmitted to the change start command. When S265 ends, the second special symbol compliance determination process is performed. In addition, also when S215 is denied, it transfers to 2nd special symbol equivalence determination processing (FIG. 12). Also, when the process of S265 is executed, the variation of the special symbol is started by the main control device 80.

  In the second special symbol suitability determination process shown in FIGS. 12-13, main controller 80 determines whether the big hit flag or the small hit flag is set or not (whether the special motorized part is in operation or not). Then, the determination is made based on (in operation) (S300). If the determination of S300 is negative and the second special symbol is not in motion (S305: no) and is not in the display of the final symbol (S310: no), the process proceeds to S315 of FIG. , And determines whether or not there is a pending storage (S125). If there is this pending storage (S315: yes), the second pending storage number is decremented (S330), and it is determined whether or not the special symbol (here, the first special view) during the change is a big hit (S340) . If the first special figure is not a big hit (S340: no), the process proceeds to S345.

  In S345, the jackpot determination random number read in S330 is compared with the hit value recorded in the table, and it is judged whether or not the jackpot (S350), and if affirmation judgment (S350: yes), jackpot symbol determination processing (S355), variation pattern determination processing (S360), gaming state setting processing (S365), and special symbol variation start command transmission processing (S395). In addition, each process of these S355-S365 performs each process of S256-S263 mentioned above with respect to a 2nd special symbol instead of a 1st special symbol. For example, in the jackpot symbol determination process (S355), a jackpot symbol is determined according to the table of FIG. 21 (b).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), in the second special view, the symbols 11 to 14 are eight round regular short symbols, the symbols 15 to 18 are four round specific short symbols, and the symbols 19 and 20 are It is a short public symbol at 8 rounds specific time. When eight rounds and normal short symbols are hit, a big hit consisting of eight rounds is difficult to enter into the probability change port 15, and the state after the big hit becomes a normal state. The proportions (sortings) in which the combination of symbols is 8 rounds when regular short symbol, 4 rounds specific short symbol no symbol, and 8 rounds short regular symbol are 40/100, 40/100, and 20/100, respectively. Also, a symbol 21 is assigned to a small hit symbol.

  It returns to FIG. If it is determined in S350 that there is a gap, the process proceeds to S373, in which it is determined based on the jackpot determination random number read in S330 whether it is a small hit or not. If it is a negative judgment, it will transfer to S383. If an affirmative determination is made in S340 (that is, if the first special symbol in variation is hit), then the flow shifts to S373. In S383, the variation pattern is determined based on the reach determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number, and the process proceeds to S395. If the determination in S373 is affirmative, the small hit symbol is determined in S376, the variation pattern is determined in S380, and the process proceeds to S395. The determination in the processing of S340, S350, and S373 is performed by selecting the high probability table or the low probability table depending on whether or not the current gaming state is in the high probability state.

  In S395, the data showing the above-mentioned lottery result, specifically the data showing the special symbol, big hit, small hit, out of reach (with out but reach indication), out of out of reach indication and the fluctuation time A change start command (display control command) including data of a specified change pattern is output to the sub integrated control device 83, and special game processing is performed. In addition, when S315 is denied, it goes directly to special game processing. Also, when the process of S395 is executed, the variation of the special symbol is started by the main control device 80.

  If it is determined in S155 of FIG. 9 that the first special symbol is changing, or if it is determined that the second special symbol is changing in S305 of FIG. 12, the process proceeds to S170 of FIG. It is determined whether (based on the variation pattern of S260, S286, S360, S380, or S383) has passed. If it is a negative judgment (S170: no), it will be judged whether it is the yes-no decision processing of the 1st special symbol (S180). If it is affirmation determination (S180: yes), it will transfer to S300 of FIG. If a negative determination (S180: no), special game processing is performed.

  If S170 is affirmation determination, after performing the fixed symbol display processing (S175) of the corresponding special symbol, it will shift to S180. In the final symbol display process, a command (design final command) for displaying the final symbol is output to the sub integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the final symbol.

  If it is determined that the final symbol of the first special symbol is being displayed in S160 of FIG. 9, or if it is determined that the final symbol of the second special symbol is being displayed in S310 of FIG. It shifts, and it is judged whether the display time of a final design is completed. If the determination is negative (S400: no), the special game process is performed, and if the determination is affirmative, it is determined whether or not the combination is determined to be a big hit after the final symbol display setting process (S405) is performed (S410). If it is affirmation determination, it will transfer to the other special symbol variation end process (S420). In the present embodiment, "one special symbol" refers to a special symbol displayed with a symbol indicating a big hit, and "the other special symbol" is not a special symbol identified with a symbol indicating a big hit. , Say special symbol.

  In the process of S420, it is confirmed whether or not the first special symbol and the second special symbol are simultaneously changing, and if it is simultaneously changing, the change of the other special symbol is canceled and the forced stop is performed with the lost symbol . Along with this, the main control unit 80 disconnects to the sub integrated control unit 83, and a symbol stop designation command is transmitted. After the processing of S420, it is determined whether the probability change flag is 1 (S425). When the probability change flag is set to 1, it becomes a high probability state in this embodiment. If the determination is affirmative (S425: yes), the probability change flag is set to 0 in S430, and the process proceeds to S433. If the definite change flag is not 1 (S425: no), the process proceeds to S433. In S433, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1. If the determination is affirmative (S433: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S435, and the process proceeds to S438. If the time saving flag is not 1 (S433: no), the process proceeds to S438.

  At step S438, the condition device operation start process is performed. In the following S440, the jackpot flag is set, the character continuous actuation device is operated, and in S445, a jackpot start rendering process is performed. In the big hit start effect processing, a command to start big hit game and information related to big hit game (big hit opening time, opening pattern, big hit ending time, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. After the processing of S445, special game processing is performed.

  If it is determined in S410 that the special symbol displayed in the finalized display is not a display that would be a big hit, it is determined in S448 whether the probability change flag is 1 or not. If it is 1, it is determined whether the probability number is 0 or not To do (S450). In the present embodiment, the initial value of the probability variation number is 10000. If the number of definite variations is zero, the certain variation flag is set to zero in S453, and the process proceeds to S458. When the probability change flag is not 1 (S448: no) or when the number of probability changes is not 0 (S450: no), the process directly shifts to S458.

  In S458, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1, and if it is 1 (S458: yes), it is determined whether the time saving number is 0 or not (S460). In the present embodiment, the initial value of the number of time savings is 10000. If the time saving number is 0, the time saving flag is set to 0 in S463 and the process proceeds to S465. When the time saving flag is not 1 (S458: no) or when the time saving number is not 0 (S460: no), the process directly shifts to S465. In S465, it is determined whether or not the combination of the symbols for which the finalized display has been set in S405 will be a small hit. If the determination is affirmative, the measurement of the variation time of the other special symbol is interrupted in S468, and the small hit flag is set in S470, and the special electric actor operation start process is executed, and the small hit start effect process is performed in S475. Perform special game processing. If the negative determination is made in S465, the special game processing is performed as it is.

  In the special game process shown in FIG. 16, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the bonus continuous actuation device is in operation based on the big hit flag (S500). If the item continuous operation device is in operation (S500: yes), it is determined whether the first large winning opening 14 is open (S505). If the first large winning opening 14 is not open (S505: no), it is determined whether the first large winning opening 14 is closed during the interval between rounds (S510). If it is not during the interval (S510: no), it is judged whether or not the jackpot end effect is under way (S515). In the case of a negative determination (S515: no), it is determined whether the time required for the effect of starting the big hit game has passed from now (S520). If the jackpot start presentation time has elapsed (S520: yes), the first large winning opening opening process (S525) is performed and this process is ended (return).

  If it is determined in S505 that the first large winning opening 14 is open, the process proceeds to S530 in FIG. 17, and it is determined from the signal from the probability changing port SW 15a whether or not entering the probability turning aperture 15 has occurred. . If the determination is affirmative (S530: yes), the probability change entry flag is set (S540), and the process proceeds to S550. If the probability change slot flag is set (the value becomes 1), the gaming state after the big hit game is in high probability state, and if the value of the probability slot flag is zero, after the end of the big hit game The gaming state is in a low probability state. In S550, it is determined whether or not ten winnings have been made in the first large winning opening 14. In the present embodiment, the number is ten, but may be nine or eight, and is not particularly limited. When ten pieces have been won in the first large winning opening 21 (S550: yes), the process proceeds to S560, and the first large winning opening 21 is closed. Then, a big hit interval process (S565) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If ten pieces have not been won in the first large winning opening 14 (S550: no), the process proceeds to S555, and it is determined whether the opening time of the first large winning opening 21 has ended. In the present embodiment, in the case of a big hit, the maximum opening time after the second round is set to 29 seconds. For the first round, the maximum opening time is set to 29 seconds when hitting with a hit symbol (4 round specified time short symbol pattern or 8 round specified time short symbol symbol) that may be made to win a probability change opening 15 and a probability change opening 15 If you do not win in the hit symbol (8 rounds normal time short non symbol) is hit in the short time (eg 0.3 seconds) is set. Of course, it is not limited to these seconds. If the opening time is over (S 555: yes), the process joins S 560. If the opening time is not over (S 555: no), the special game process is ended.

  If it is determined in S510 of FIG. 16 that the interval is in progress, the process proceeds to S570 of FIG. 17, and it is determined whether the big hit interval time has elapsed. If the interval time has elapsed (S 570: yes), it is determined whether or not the first large winning opening 21 has been open just before the final round (S 575). If it is the final round, the jackpot end effect processing (S580) is performed, and the special game processing is ended. If it is not the final round (S575: no), processing (S585) for opening the first large winning opening 21 is performed again, and the special game processing is ended. If it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S570: no), the special game processing is ended as it is. In the process of opening and closing the first large winning opening 21, a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round based on the signal, and performs an effect corresponding to the round.

  If it is determined in S515 of FIG. 16 that the big hit is being rendered, the process proceeds to S645 of FIG. 18 to determine whether the big hit completion time has elapsed. If the jackpot end production time has elapsed, the operation of the continuous product operating device is stopped (S650), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S655). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation entry flag is 1 (S660). In the case of an affirmative determination, the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are set to 1, and the number of probability variations and the number of time saving are set (S665). Subsequently, the definite variation entry flag is cleared (S670), and the process proceeds to S695. If the probability change entry flag is not 1 (S660: no), the process proceeds to S695.

  In S695, a big hit end command is sent to the sub integrated control device 83, and in the subsequent S698, a state designation command is sent to the sub integrated control device 83, and the special game process is ended. Also when it is determined in S645 that the big hit end production time has not elapsed, the special game processing is ended.

  When it is determined in FIG. 16 that the bonus continuous actuation device is not operating (S500: no), the small hit game process shown in FIG. 19 is executed. When this process is activated, it is determined in S705 whether the special electric combination is in operation, and if it is in operation, it is determined whether the small hit start effect is in progress (S710). If the determination is affirmative, it is determined whether or not the time for the small hit start effect has passed (S715). If the determination is affirmative, the second large winning opening 20 is opened (S720), and the process is ended (return). In addition, when it is determined that the special electric role is not in operation (S705: no), or when it is determined that the time for the small hitting start effect has not elapsed (S715: no), the processing ends as it is Do.

  If it is determined in S710 that the small hit start effect is not being performed, it is determined whether the second large winning opening 20 is open (S725). In the case of a positive determination, it is determined whether one or more wins have been made in the second large winning opening 20 (S730). If this is a negative determination, it is determined whether or not the opening time (2 seconds here) of the second large winning opening 20 has passed (S735), and if a positive determination is made, the second large winning opening 20 is closed (S740) to process this Finish. If the determination in step S730 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S740. If the determination in step S735 is negative, the process ends. If a negative determination is made in S725, the process proceeds to S750 to stop the operation of the special motorized combination, and a small hit end command is sent to the sub integrated control device 83 in S755 to end the small hit gaming process.

  FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of the fluctuation effect process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. This process is activated when the sub integrated control device 83 receives a fluctuation start command (sent by the main control device 80 at S265) from the main control device 80. In addition, although this figure is a process which concerns on a 1st special symbol, it is abbreviate | omitted about the fluctuation production process (it is received if the fluctuation start command transmitted by the main control apparatus 80 by S395 in S395) which concerns on a 2nd special symbol. In the normal state, a simple variation effect (described later) is performed in the effect symbol display device 6, and in the time saving state, the effect described later with reference to FIG. 20 is performed in the effect symbol display device 6. When this process is activated, it is determined in S270 whether a small hit rush is in progress. This is determined based on the value of the short time flag included in the change start command (if it is 1, it is in the small hit rush, if it is 0 it is not in the small hit rush). If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to S275, a general fluctuation effect is performed, and the process ends (returns). If a positive determination (S270: yse) is made, the process proceeds to S280, and it is determined based on the change start command whether or not the change results in a big hit. If the determination is negative, that is, if there is a loss, the process proceeds to S285, a simple change effect is performed, and the process ends. If the determination is positive (S280: yes), that is, if it is a hit, the process proceeds to S290 to execute a simple variable presentation, and then an invincible zone presentation is performed in S295, and the process ends. When a big hit occurs, the invincible zone effect is finished, and the effect for big hit is started.

  Invincible zone effects and the like will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 shows an example of the effect performed by the effect symbol display device 6 in a short time. FIG. 20 (a) shows the effect in a state in which the first special symbol does not hit, and when the second special symbol makes a small hit, the special symbol 95 of FIG. At the same time, the player is made to stop in a "small win", and the player is informed that the small hit may increase the number of prize balls. The character 92 of "SUPER small hit to RUSH!" Displayed on the upper left of the screen informs the player that a small hit is currently in progress. In addition, in the case of big hit, the production design is lined up with the design other than “small win”. What is displayed at the lower left of the screen is the effect design symbol 91 of the first special symbol in motion, and shows that the 3-digit symbol scrolls in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 2, since the first starting opening 12 and the second starting opening 16 are present on the right side of the game area, entry to any winning opening is also generated during the right strike. And in the pachinko machine 50, since the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be changed simultaneously, the first special symbol can be changed even during the change of the second special symbol. And while the production pattern of the 2nd special symbol is being decidedly displayed by "small match", measurement of the fluctuation time of the 1st special symbol is interrupted. When the first special symbol is detached, the 3-digit symbol is stopped irregularly at the lower left of the screen. This variation and stop of the 3-digit symbol when the first special symbol is removed is the simple variation effect executed in S285 described above. The variation representation of the second special symbol in the normal state is similar to this.

  Drawing 20 (b) shows signs that the change which the 1st special symbol hits is started. The character 92 displayed at the upper left of the screen changes to "Invincible zone entry !!!", the character 94 displayed at the upper right of the screen opens its eyes, and "!" Is displayed. This is the invincible zone effect executed in S290 described above. When the first special symbol is hit, S340 is affirmed and proceeds to S373, and the pass / fail determination of S350 is not performed. As a result, no hit occurs due to the eight round regular time short symbol which is the termination condition of the small hit rush. And the second special symbol is a small hit with a probability of 48/50. Since the variation in which the first special symbol hits is an average of 2 minutes during the small hit rush as shown in FIG. 6, the small hit rush will not end during this time, and the player can increase his possession it can. In addition, although the first special symbol is hit as a result of the change of this two minutes on average, since this fluctuation effect is a simple fluctuation effect, it disturbs the effect of the small hitting rush concerning the fluctuation of the second special symbol There is nothing to do.

  In FIG. 20 (c), since time has passed from the state of FIG. 20 (b), the left symbol and the middle symbol are the same symbol (here, “7”) in the effect symbol 91 of the first special symbol. Only indicates a state of reaching reach during fluctuation. Since the same symbol is aligned with the first special symbol, it will reach the reach when hit. Even in this state, since S340 is still positively determined, the small hit of the second special symbol continues to occur. Then, the character 92 displayed at the upper left of the screen changes to "Invincible zone continuing !!", and "!" Disappears from the overhead of the character 94 displayed at the upper right of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6. This is also an invincible zone effect.

  FIG. 20D shows the state when the first special symbol is hit. The same special symbol (here, "7") is aligned in the first special symbol, and the processing of S420 is executed with the affirmative determination of S410, whereby the second special symbol is forcibly stopped from changing. In FIG. 20 (d), "138" is displayed as an example of the effect symbol corresponding to the lost symbol. The expression of the character 94 is changed to a smile with eyes narrowed.

  Since the big hit of the first special symbol always has time reduction after the big hit, it becomes a small hit rush again. If the change in the first special symbol immediately after the big hit ends, the possibility of hitting the second special symbol reappears, and the possibility of the small hit rush ending also occurs.

  According to the gaming machine configured as described above, there is a possibility that the generated small hit rush may be ended by hitting with an eight round normal time short symbol, but while the invincible zone effect is being performed, the second Since there is no possibility of winning a special symbol, the player can play with peace of mind during execution of the invincible zone effect. As a result, the small hit rush becomes a gaming machine having an unconventional game enjoyment of playing in hopes that invincible zone effects will be executed. Also, since the variation time when the special figure 1 hits the jackpot is 2 minutes on average (see FIG. 6) and is not fixed, during the invincible zone effect, the player continues the invincible zone effect for as long as possible. I also have the game entertainment that I want to want.

  Here, the correspondence between the configuration of the present embodiment and the constituent requirements of the present invention will be shown. The processes of S110 and S120 correspond to the "random number extraction means" of the present invention, the processes of S250 and S350 correspond to the "approval determination means" of the present invention, and the processes of S260, S268, S360, S376 and S383 are true. The process of S175 corresponds to the "special symbol control means" of the present invention, and the special game process (FIG. 16) corresponds to the "big hit game execution means" of the present invention. The process of S 373 corresponds to the "small hit judging means" of the present invention, the small hit gaming process (FIG. 19) corresponds to the "small hitting game executing means" of the present invention, and the process of S 665 corresponds to the "variation time of the present invention The processing of S340 corresponds to the "big hit gaming prohibition means" of the present invention, and the processing of S290 corresponds to the "special effect executing means" of the present invention. In the "variation time initialization means" of the present invention, the time reduction flag is made zero by the processing of S435 before the big hit occurs, and the big hit symbol is 8 round normal time short null symbols, so the first big prize of the first round This is realized by not opening the opening time of the mouth 21 and thereby entering the definite change opening 15 and not executing the process of S665.

Example 2
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since this embodiment has many points in common with the first embodiment, only differences will be mainly described. FIG. 22 is a front view of the gaming board 1 of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, and the difference with the first embodiment is that the second starting opening 16 is an electric tulip (hereinafter referred to as an ordinary electric character or simply Point that is configured as a call), a point that has a gate 22 serving as a variation trigger for a normal symbol that needs to be elected to open the normal motorized character, and these configurations are provided on the right side of the game area 3 And the point that the probability variation determination device 13 does not exist. By arranging the second starting opening 16 above the second large winning opening 20, most of the game balls hit to the right enter the second starting opening 16 when the ordinary motorized part is opened. There are almost no game balls reaching the second big winning opening 20. When the ordinary electric role is closed, the gaming ball dropped from the left side of the second starting opening 16 can reach the second winning opening 20. At the lower right of the game area 3, a normal symbol display device 7 consisting of two LEDs and a common drawing reserve number display device 8 consisting of four LEDs are provided. The hit symbol on the normal symbol is the one to which only the left side of the two LEDs is lit, and the lost symbol is that to which only the LED on the right side is lit. When the gaming ball passes through the gate 22, the game ball is stored up to four at maximum and displayed on the common drawing holding number display device 8 as the common drawing holding number.

  FIG. 23 is a block diagram of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, and the difference from FIG. 5 is that the normal symbol display 7, the common drawing hold number display 8, and the ordinary motor combination for opening and closing the ordinary motorized part are shown. While the object solenoid 16 b is provided, the shutter solenoid 14 a and the positive change port SW 15 a are not provided. In FIG. 23, a sensor that detects that the ball has entered the first starting opening 11 and the first starting opening 12 is represented by the first starting opening SW11a, and the first starting opening SW12a is omitted. Further, since the probability changing port SW 15a is not provided, the processing of S530 to S540 of FIG. 17 and the processing corresponding to the processing of S660 to S670 of FIG. 18 do not exist in the second embodiment.

  FIG. 24 is a summary of the specifications of the pachinko machine 50 in the second embodiment. The difference from FIG. 6 (the first embodiment) is that the variation time of the normal symbol, the probability of hitting the normal symbol, and the description of the opening time of the normal motorized part, when the first special symbol is hit, are described. The high probability state entry rate is 60%, the variation time of the special figure 2 at the time of the small hit in the short time state is 0.2 seconds, and the opening time of the big winning opening at the small hit 1 I can mention the point that is seconds. And the variation time and hit probability of the normal symbol are the same configuration regardless of whether it is the normal probability state or the high probability state, and the opening time of the general electric power is 1 second in the large winning opening easy winning state, the large winning opening It is 2 seconds in the difficult winning condition. The large winning opening easy winning state means that the game ball hit to the right in the time saving state (occurs simultaneously with the high probability state in the gaming machine of the present invention) easily reaches the second large winning opening 20, the big winning The mouth winning difficult state means that the gaming ball does not easily reach the second large winning opening 20. It will be determined by the hit symbol of the special symbol which state it will be.

  FIG. 25 is a table showing the relationship between the jackpot symbol determination random number and the hit symbol in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 25 (a), the symbols 1 to 4 of the first special symbol are assigned to eight round regular time short symbols. Thereby, even if it hits with a 1st special symbol, it may not rush into a short time state, and if it hits with the 1st special symbol during a small hit rush, the small hit rush may be finished. Then, the symbols 5 to 8 are assigned to the 4-round specified-time short-used symbol, and the symbols 9 and 10 are assigned to the 8-round specified-time short-used symbol. In the case of hitting with the symbols 5 to 10, it becomes a big winning opening easy winning state after a big hit. In the large winning opening easy winning state, it becomes a small hit rush, the reason for this will be described later in the description using FIG.

  On the other hand, the hit symbols of the second special symbol are assigned as shown in FIG. 25 (b), and it is the same as the first embodiment as to whether or not it will be in a short time after big hit. With regard to whether or not the game is in the easy state, the gaming state after the big hit becomes the big winning opening easy winning state only when hitting with the 8 round specific time short possession symbol. That is, if it hits with eight round specific time short symbol, it becomes small hit rush after a big hit, but if it hits with 4 round specific time short symbol, it becomes short time after big hit, but it does not become small hit rush. However, if you hit right in this state, the ordinary electric role opens frequently, and you can easily win the second starting hole 16, so the next time you hit with an eight-round specified-time short-run symbol (small hit rush and Can be played with the aim of And when it hits with eight round specific time short non symbol, it does not become small hitting rush nor time shortening like the 1st example, it returns to the state of left hitting.

  The “general drawing start winning confirmation process” shown in FIG. 26 is a subroutine of the winning confirmation process (S50). In this process, first, it is confirmed whether the gaming ball has passed through the gate 22 (S760). In addition, in this figure, also when reconfiguring the gate 17 as a starting opening is assumed, it is described as "general drawing starting opening or gate entering ball?". If there is a ball entry (S 760: yes), it is confirmed whether the reserved memory of the map is not full (four in the present embodiment) (S 770). If the pending storage is not full (S 770: no), in the process of S 780, various random numbers are extracted, such as random numbers for determining flats, randoms for determining symbols, randoms for determining lost patterns, randoms for transition, etc. Various extracted random numbers are stored in the memory of the main control unit 80 as pending storage (maximum four). Then, the general drawing reservation number display device 8 transmits a general drawing reservation number command (S 790).

  In the "general drawing propriety judgment process" shown in FIG. 27, it is a subroutine of the judgment processing (S55), and it is confirmed whether the ordinary motorized part for opening the start port 22 of the special drawing is operating in the process of S800. If it is not (S800: no), it is confirmed whether the common figure is in motion (S805), and if it is not in motion (S805: no), it is confirmed whether the final symbol of the common figure is displayed (S810). Note that if the ordinary motorized role is in operation (S800: yes), the processing proceeds to "general game processing".

  If the final symbol is not being displayed in the process of S810, it is confirmed whether there is a reserve storage of the common drawing (S815), and if there is a reserve storage of the common drawing, the number of reserved storages of the common drawing is subtracted A process is performed (S820). As a result of the shift processing, the oldest pending storage among pending storages of the common drawing is subjected to the pass / fail determination. If there is no holding memory of the common drawing (S815: no), it will shift to "general drawing game processing".

  In the subsequent processing of S 840, it is judged whether the hit judgment table and the hit judgment random number are compared with each other or not. The hit probability of the common figure is 199/200 regardless of the gaming state as shown in FIG.

  If the map is a hit (S 840: yes), it is checked whether the winning a prize flag is 1 or not (S 855). A prize easy flag is a flag set according to the winning symbol in S665, and if it is the first special symbol, it is a prize easy flag when it is a big hit with 4 round specified time short owned symbol or 8 round specified time short owned symbol Is 1 and the second special symbol, the easy-to-win flag is 1 when a big hit with a special symbol with 8 rounds is specified, and the value of the easy-to-win flag is 0 otherwise. Further, although not shown again, in the second embodiment, it is determined based on the value of the easy-to-win flag rather than the short-time flag (the value of the easy-to-play flag) in S270 of FIG. If 1 is small hit rushing, if 0 non small hit rush)).

  If the determination in S855 is affirmative, in S860 the release pattern of the power transmission is set to one second (see also FIG. 24), and the flow proceeds to S870. On the other hand, when S855 is determined to be negative, the release pattern of the common charge is set to 2 seconds in S865, and the process proceeds to S870. When S 840 is denied, the process proceeds to S 870 as it is. In the process of S870, a common drawing change start command is transmitted to the common drawing display device 7, and the processing proceeds to "general drawing game processing". In the process after S 840, originally, depending on the success or failure of the normal symbol, the hit symbol and the lost symbol are determined or the variation pattern of the normal symbol is determined, but in the present embodiment, the hit symbol and the lost symbol are There is only one type of each, and the fluctuation pattern is not described because it is determined in 1 second (see also FIG. 24) regardless of the gaming state and the result of the judgment of the success or failure.

  When the symbol of the common figure is being changed in the process of S805, the process proceeds to the process of FIG. 28 (a), and it is determined whether the variation time of the normal symbol has passed (S870). In addition, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 1 second on average regardless of the gaming state. If it is confirmed that the fluctuation time of the symbol has passed (S 870: yes), a command is transmitted so that the fixed symbol display is displayed on the common pattern display device 7 by the fixed symbol display setting process (S 875), Transition.

  When the determined symbol is being displayed in the process of S302 of FIG. 27 (S810: yes), the process proceeds to the process of FIG. 28 (b), and it is determined whether the determined symbol display time has passed (S880). If it is confirmed that the display time of the finalized symbol has passed, a command is sent to the common drawing display 7 to end the finalized symbol display in the finalized symbol display end process (S885), and the process proceeds to the “generally played game process” . If the display time of the determined symbol has not elapsed (S 880: no), the process proceeds to the “general game processing” as it is.

  An outline of the “general game processing” is shown in FIG. First, it is checked whether the ordinary motorized part is open (S900). If it is affirmed determination, it is checked whether or not there are 10 (specified number) of winnings in the ordinary electric winning combination (S910) or whether the opening time of the ordinary electric winning combination is over (S920). As described above, the opening time of the ordinary electric role is 1 second in the large winning opening winning state, and 2 seconds in the large winning opening difficult state. If one of S910 and S920 is a positive determination, the ordinary motorized part is closed (S930), and an end command transmission processing per common drawing (S940) is executed. In this processing, a finish command per common drawing is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82, and the common drawing game processing is ended (return). If both are negative determinations (S910: no and S920: no), the process returns as it is.

  The large winning opening winning state and the large winning opening difficult state will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 (a) is a time chart for explaining the state of easy winning of big winning opening, and when the game ball passes through the gate 22, the normal symbol starts to change, and after 1 second, the change is stopped and 199/200 Hit probability (that is, almost). And it becomes difficult to open the normal electric role and to reach the second large winning opening 20, but in the large winning a prize opening easy state, the ordinary electric position closes in 1 second, and the game ball after that is the second It becomes possible to reach 2 large winning a prize mouth 20. And if the ball has entered the second starting opening 16 at the time of opening of the normal motorized part, the special figure 2 fluctuates, and after 0.2 seconds, the fluctuation stops and the probability of 199/200 (that is, small) is small It will be a hit. Since the second large winning opening 20 is opened for about 1 second by a small hit, the second large winning opening when the normal electric winning combination is closed at time P when the normal electric combination is finished opening for 1 second. 20 is open (However, special figure 2 shall be a small hit). Therefore, the game ball dropped off from the left side of the second starting opening 16 reaches the second large winning opening 20, and the player can obtain a winning ball by winning in the second large winning opening 20. Since small hits occur frequently, a small hit rush will be established in the large winning opening easy winning state. In addition, the timing to enter the second starting opening 16 may be immediately after the opening of the ordinary electric combination or immediately before closing, but the second winning opening 20 is reached at any timing. can do.

  FIG. 30 (b) is a time chart for explaining the special winning opening hard winning condition. The passage of the gate 22 and the variation of the normal symbol are omitted because they are the same as in the large winning opening easy winning state. In the large winning a prize winning state, since the normal electric role is opened for 2 seconds, at the time P when the normal electric role is closed, the second large winning port 20 is closed after the opening time of 1 second. ing. As described above, a small hit frequently occurs even in the special winning opening hard condition, but since the second large winning opening 20 can not be entered, a small hit rush is not established. According to FIG. 30 (b), it appears that, if the winning of the second starting opening 16 is delayed, the second large winning opening 20 may be opened at the closing time P of the ordinary electric role. . However, as described above, during the opening of the normal motorized symbol, the game ball hit to the right enters most of the second starting opening 16 so that the winning of the second starting opening 16 is after the opening of the ordinary electric symbol. The phenomenon that the motorized part is closed at the closing point R of the second big winning opening 20 hardly occurs.

  The gaming machine of the second embodiment is similar in configuration to the gaming machine of the first embodiment, and although effects similar to those of the gaming machine of the first embodiment can be achieved, the jackpot that occurs after the invincible zone effect is eight rounds of normal time The small hit rush ends when it occurs due to hitting with the symbol. Therefore, when the invincible zone effect occurs, the player feels secure that the small hit rush will not end during the invincible zone effect, and the anxiety that the small hit rush may end due to the big hit that occurs at the end of the invincible zone effect. Can be given to

[Example 3]
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the present embodiment has much in common with the second embodiment, only differences will be mainly described. FIG. 31 is a front view of the gaming board 1 of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment, which differs from the second embodiment in that the first starting opening 16 instead of the second starting opening 16 is configured as an electric tulip. 11 and the point that the gate 22 exists on the left side of the game area 3 can be mentioned. The first starting port 11 is configured to be able to receive a prize even in a state in which the power train is closed.

  FIG. 32 is a summary of the specifications of the pachinko machine 50 in the third embodiment. The difference from FIG. 24 (the second embodiment) is that the high probability state rush rate at the time of a big hit is 100% for both the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and the number of continuation of the high probability state is 50 times. Can be mentioned. In addition, the fluctuation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is divided depending on whether or not it is the time saving state, but not the easy winning state or not. The easy-to-win state means a state in which it is easy to win a prize. For example, according to whether or not the variation time of the special symbol is in the easy-to-win state, the long and short relationship is reversed between the first special symbol and the second special symbol. However, the variation time of the second special symbol in the low probability state (normal state) is an average of 10 minutes.

  FIG. 33 is a table showing the relationship between a jackpot symbol determination random number and a hit symbol in the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 33 (a), the symbols 1 to 8 of the first special symbol are assigned to the 4-round specific time short symbol. Here, the presence or absence of time saving corresponds to whether or not to be in the easy winning state, meaning that time saving is in the easy winning state and time saving is in the non easy winning state (both after the big hit end ). The symbols 9 to 10 are assigned to eight rounds specific short time no symbols, and all the hit symbols are time short no symbols, so the first special symbol will be a specification that will be easy to win when it first hits (big hit) ing. However, it is an exception when the first special symbol hits the big hit in the easy-to-win state, and it always becomes the easy-to-win state after the big hit. In the non-winning easy state, as shown in FIG. 32, the variation time of the second special symbol is shortened to 2 seconds on average, so a small hit rush state is established.

  On the other hand, the hit symbols of the second special symbol are assigned as shown in FIG. 33 (b), and the symbols 11 to 14 of the second special symbol are for 8 rounds at a specified time, and the symbols 15 to 18 are for a specified time of 4 rounds. The symbol and the symbols 19 to 20 have become eight rounds at a specified time. That is, the second special symbol is in a small hit rush state after the end of the big hit when the big hit with the symbols 15 to 20, and when the big hit in the symbols 11 to 14 does not become a small hit rush state after the big hit. If a big hit is made with the symbols 11 to 14, the player is in an easy-to-win state, and as shown in FIG. 32, since the common charge is open frequently and for a long time, it is advantageous for the player to hit the left. Furthermore, when the player continues to hit the right, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is on average ten minutes in the easy-to-win state, which is a disadvantage for the player. If the first start opening 16 wins, the first special symbol fluctuates for 2 seconds, and then 1/50 makes a big hit (see Fig. 32), but the first special symbol does not have a small hit, so the small hit rush state The right hit in the easy-to-win state is also disadvantageous for the player, since the player who strikes the left easily wins the first starting opening 11 opened by the portable power for two seconds.

  FIG. 34 shows a routine drawing propriety determination process in the third embodiment. The first difference between the second embodiment and the regular drawing match determination process is that after the shift process of the reserve storage is performed in S820, it is determined whether the prize easy flag is 1 or not (S825). (S825: yes), it is set (S830) to perform a yes / no decision on the high / low probability (199/200, see also FIG. 32) decision table, and it proceeds to S840, and if it is a negative decision (S825: No) The point is to set (S 835) to make a yes / no decision on the yes / no decision table with normal probability (39/200, see also FIG. 32), and shift to S 840. In S270 of the fluctuation effect process (FIG. 11), it is determined that the small hit rush is in progress when the winning easy flag is 0, and it is determined that the small hit rush is not in progress when the winning easy flag is 1.

  The second difference is that the processing from S 840 to S 870 determines the variation pattern of the normal symbol based on the value of the easy-to-win flag, regardless of whether the normal symbol is hit or not. That is, S 840 is abolished, it is determined whether or not the winning a prize flag is 1 (S 857), and if it is affirmed determination (S 857: yes), the variation pattern is determined based on the variation pattern determination random number of the target storage. Do. The fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern determined by the processing of S 862 is 2 seconds on average (see also FIG. 32). If a negative determination (S857: no), in S867, the fluctuation pattern is determined based on the random number for fluctuation pattern determination of the above-mentioned pending storage. The fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern determined by the processing of S867 is 30 seconds on average (see also FIG. 32). Thus, when the variation pattern is determined in the process of S862 or S867, the process proceeds to S870.

  The flow of the game in the pachinko machine 50 is as follows. In the normal state, since the variation time of the second special symbol is long (10 minutes on average), the left starting strike is performed aiming at the first starting opening 11. It should be noted that although the first start opening 12 is also present on the right side of the game area 3, if the game ball passes the gate 22 and the normal symbol hits, the general electric power is opened and more games are played by the first start opening 11. Since there is a possibility that the ball will win, it is considered that many players make a left strike. If the first special symbol wins in the first start opening 11 and the first special symbol wins, it will always be in the non-winning easy state (see Figure 33), so the variation time of the second special symbol will be 2 seconds on average, and the small hit rushes into . Therefore, it is advantageous for the player to hit the right. If the first start hole 12 is won during a right-handed hit and the first special symbol is a big hit, after a big hit, the non-winning state is again made easy, so the small hit rush continues. And the fluctuation of the first special symbol that makes a big hit continues for an average of 2 minutes (refer to Fig. 32), and during that time the success / failure judgment of the second special symbol is not performed as in the first embodiment and the second embodiment. Be In the third embodiment, since the high probability state is limited to 50 times, the number of times of variation of the special symbol (the total number of times of variation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol) during the invincible zone effect is 50 times When it arrives, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol becomes 10 minutes on average, and the small hit rush ends. However, since the first special symbol is a big hit, it rushes into a small hit rush again.

  If the second special symbol is a big hit during a small hit rush, the gaming state after the big hit is determined according to the hit symbol. That is, when the second special symbol is hit with an eight round specified time short null symbol or a four round specific time short null symbol, it becomes a non-winning easy state and the small hit rush continues. On the other hand, when the second special symbol is hit with a special symbol for eight rounds at a specified time, it shifts to a state of easy winning. In the easy-to-win state, in addition to the fact that the variation time of the second special symbol is 10 minutes on average, it does not become a small hit rush, and the player opens the common starting frequently and easily wins the first starting opening 11. Resume left strike. However, in this state, if it is a big hit in the first special symbol, it becomes an easy-to-go state after the big hit, so it will not rush into the small hit rush and the left hitting state will continue. This state ends when the sum of the number of changes in each of the first special symbol and the second special symbol reaches 50 times.

  According to the pachinko machine 50 of the third embodiment configured as described above, if it hits with the first special symbol, it always rushes into a small hit lash, and if it hits with the first special symbol during the small hit lash, Since the small hit rush continues (or re-enters), the game becomes close to the first embodiment. However, when the sum of the number of times of variation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol reaches 50 times without hitting the first special symbol or the second special symbol during the small hit rush, the state returns to the normal state.

[Other embodiments]
In any of the above embodiments, the fluctuation time is not fixed, but may be a fixed value. In addition, the invincible zone effect may not be executed even though the special figure 1 makes a big hit. According to such a configuration, the player can be surprised because the special figure 1 is hit if it is thought that the invincible zone effect is not executed and the hit is not made.

  In the embodiment described above, the game balls are paid out. However, an enclosed type may be used in which winning balls generated in accordance with winning or the like are stored without being paid out. Further, as in the third embodiment, in the configuration in which the small hit rush ends when the special symbol changes 50 times, the number of times that the number of times reaches the invincible zone effect may be considered. Therefore, it may be considered that the invincible zone effect is not performed when the number of times is close. It is conceivable that this number of times is the sum of the number of changes of the first special symbol and the number of changes of the second special symbol. Moreover, it is good also as the number of changes of only any one of a 1st special symbol and a 2nd special symbol. In addition, hit probability returns to normal, but there are hit symbols (for example, 4 round regular time short symbol symbols) which continue only while the special symbol changes for a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times). The end condition may be a change of the predetermined number of times (50 times in the example). In this case, while the special symbol changes by a predetermined number of times, it is not a small hit rush, but right hitting becomes effective by time saving, and it is possible to aim a big hit with a high base state and consequently aim at a small hit rush. , I think that small hit rush does not end in time.

  Moreover, although the small hit did not exist in the 1st special symbol in the said Example, you may exist. In addition, in the first special symbol of the first embodiment, there is no hit symbol (for example, eight round non-standard symbol short symbols) which is not given time reduction after a big hit, but as in the first special symbol of the second embodiment You may. Conversely, the first special symbol of the second embodiment may have a configuration in which there is no hit symbol that is not given a time reduction after a big hit.

  Although the ball and ball game machine according to the first embodiment has the definite change port 15 and the open pattern of the first big winning opening 21 determines whether the positive change function is activated or not, the other first big winning opening The opening time of 21 may be the same, or the movement of the shutter 14 may make it difficult to enter the definite change opening 15. In that case, it is conceivable to define the movement of the shutter 14 in accordance with the number of balls entering the first big winning opening 21. In addition, a configuration may be considered in which the probability changing port 15 is provided in a predetermined ball entrance using a sorting apparatus having a plurality of ball entrances such as a crowne, and the probability changing function is completely operated by the movement of the game ball.
