  In the design of the playability of the jackpot game, for example, after all the interlocking of the second ordinary electric symbol and the third ordinary electric symbol started by the game ball winning the first ordinary electric symbol, There is a demand to open the first ordinary motorized part newly. In order to meet such a demand, conventionally, the fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol according to the first ordinary hitting judgment giving the opening timing of the first ordinary electric steering wheel, the second ordinary electric steering wheel and the third ordinary ordinary electric steering wheel A method may be employed in which the time is longer than the time for interlocking objects. However, for example, the game ball does not win a prize in any of the opened ordinary electric role products, or the result of the hit determination performed when the gaming ball wins in any of the ordinary electric role articles is out of date There is something to do. When such anomalous game is played, there is a problem that the opening of the ordinary electric character does not occur until the set fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol elapses, and the jackpot game is extended.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of smoothly opening a plurality of items even when abnormal events may occur during a jackpot game.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention is fired at a second launch intensity different from the first launch intensity and a passage opening disposed at a position where the gaming ball launched at the first launch intensity can pass. The game ball is disposed at a position where winning is possible, and the game ball is configured to be mutually operable in a first state in which it is difficult or impossible to win, and in a second state in which the game ball is easier to win than the first state. The first actuation winning opening can be actuated upon the game ball passing through the first actuation winning opening, the second actuation winning opening, the third actuation winning opening and the fourth actuation winning opening, and the passage opening. A first storage means for storing a predetermined number of first information indicating the first information, and the first operation winning opening from the first state to the second state based on the first information stored by the first storage means The game ball is won on the first actuation means operated to And, based on the second information stored by the second storage means, a second storage means for storing a predetermined number of second information indicating the right to operate the second actuation winning opening. The third actuation winning opening is actuated in response to the second actuation means for actuating the second actuation winning opening from the first state to the second state, and the game ball winning on the second actuation winning opening The third operation winning opening is selected from the first state based on third storage means for storing a predetermined number of third information indicating the right to be made and the third information stored by the third storage means. If the third information is stored by the third operation means operated to the second state and the third storage means, whether the first information is stored by the first storage means, and the second storage Said second feeling by means In the case where the third operating means is operated prior to the first operating means and the second operating means regardless of whether or not the third information is stored by the third storing means, When the second information is stored by the second storage unit, the second actuation unit is prioritized over the first actuation unit regardless of whether the first information is stored by the first storage unit. And operation control means for operating.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the third information is stored, the third operating means is the first operating means, regardless of whether the first information is stored or the second information is stored. It is operated prior to the second operating means. In addition, when the second information is stored when the third information is not stored, the second operation means is used as the first operation means regardless of whether the first information is stored by the first storage means. It is activated preferentially. Therefore, when the jackpot game is started and at least the first actuation winning opening, the second actuation winning opening and the third actuation winning opening are interlocked, the third actuation winning opening is the first actuation winning opening as soon as the third information is stored. And it is operated prior to the second operation winning opening. When the third information is digested, the second actuation winning opening is actuated prior to the first actuation winning opening. When the gaming ball wins the second actuation winning opening activated here, the third information may be stored again with the predetermined number as the upper limit. Based on the stored third information, the third operation winning opening can be activated again. That is, the actuation of the third actuation winning opening corresponding to the actuation of the second actuation winning opening based on the storage number of the second information may be maximized. Thereafter, all the second information and the third information are digested, and the first operation winning opening can be activated after at least the interlocking of the third operation winning opening from the first operation winning opening by the jackpot game is finished. That is, a new jackpot game may start after at least the interlocking of the first operation winning opening, the second operation winning opening, and the third operation winning opening in the jackpot game is finished. In this manner, the gaming machine according to the present invention can smoothly operate a plurality of features in the jackpot game even if anomalous events can occur during the jackpot game.

  The gaming machine stores fourth information storing a predetermined number of fourth information indicating the right to operate the fourth actuation winning opening, triggered by the game ball winning in the third actuation winning opening, and the fourth storage means And fourth operation means for operating the fourth operation winning opening from the first state to the second state based on the fourth information stored by the fourth storage means, the operation control means comprising: When the fourth information is stored by the fourth storage means, whether the first information is stored by the first storage means or the second information is stored by the second storage means, The fourth actuation means may be actuated prior to the first actuation means, the second actuation means and the third actuation means regardless of whether the third information is stored by the third storage means. .

  When the fourth information is stored, regardless of whether the first information, the second information and the third information are stored, the fourth operating means comprises the first operating means, the second operating means and the third operating means It is operated prior to Therefore, when the jackpot game is started, and the first actuation winning opening, the second actuation winning opening, the third actuation winning opening, and the fourth actuation winning opening are interlocked, the fourth actuation winning opening is as soon as the fourth information is stored. It is operated prior to the first actuation winning opening, the second actuation winning opening and the third actuation winning opening. Then, when the fourth information is digested, the third operation winning opening becomes operable based on the third information. When the gaming ball has won in the third actuation winning opening activated here, the fourth information may be stored again with the predetermined number as the upper limit. That is, the actuation of the fourth actuation winning opening corresponding to the actuation of the third actuation winning opening based on the memory number of the third information can be maximally performed. After that, the second information, the third information and the fourth information are all digested, and after the interlocking of the first operation winning opening from the first operation winning opening by the jackpot game is finished, the first operation winning opening may be newly operated. . That is, a new jackpot game may start after all the one jackpot games have ended. Thus, the gaming machine can smoothly operate all the items in the jackpot game.

  The first storage unit stores a plurality of the first information, and the operation control unit does not store the third information by the third storage unit, and the second information is stored by the second storage unit. The first actuation means may be actuated if not stored.

  In this case, the first storage means can store a plurality of first information. Even if the first information is stored, at least the operation of the second actuation winning opening and the third actuation winning opening takes precedence over the actuation of the first actuation winning opening. Therefore, the jackpot game proceeds with the first information stored, and after the actuation of the first actuation winning opening, the second actuation winning opening and the third actuation winning opening in the jackpot game is at least completed, the first actuation winning The mouth can be activated anew. In other words, if the first information is stored while the jackpot game is being performed, a new jackpot game can be started by activating the first operation winning opening after the end of the jackpot game. Therefore, the gaming machine can use the first information to improve the player's sense of expectation for so-called hold pairs.

  The gaming machine is provided with a determination means for determining whether it is a win or a loss based on the first information stored by the first storage means, and the first operation means is configured by the determination means. It is not necessary to operate the first operation winning opening when it is determined to be the hit, and not to operate the first operation winning opening when it is determined by the determination means that the disconnection occurs.

  In this case, when it is determined to be a hit based on the first information, the first operation winning opening is activated, and the jackpot game starts. Therefore, the gaming machine can draw the attention of the player as to whether or not it is determined to be a hit based on the first information. The first actuation winning opening, the second actuation winning opening, the third actuation winning opening and the fourth actuation winning opening are arranged at positions where the game balls fired with the second firing intensity can be won, so the player After the jackpot is determined to be a hit by the first judging means, the jackpot game may be digested with the second launch intensity. Therefore, the gaming machine can provide a jackpot game that is easy for the player to understand, even if it has a plurality of features.

In addition, the second electric chew 13 is released after the second ordinary symbol indicating the second ordinary hit is displayed. When the gaming ball has won the second electric chow 13 which has been opened, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out according to the number of the winning game balls. Once the second electric chow 13 is released, it is closed when the predetermined open time (hereinafter referred to as "second open time") elapses and any of the four game ball win conditions are satisfied. .

  The second electric chew 13 is a winning opening for acquiring a game ball and is also an operation opening of the third ordinary symbol. Therefore, when the game ball wins the second electric chow 13, the third ordinary hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability (hereinafter referred to as “third common hit probability”) determined to be a hit by the third common hit determination is 100%. Hereinafter, it is also referred to as "third common hit" that it is determined to be a hit by the third common hit determination. Note that the third common hit probability may not be 100%, and may be less than 100%. In the present embodiment, for the gaming ball that has won the second electric chew 13, the number (maximum third holding ball number) that can hold the third ordinary hitting determination and store the random number is "4". It is. Therefore, according to the second ordinary winning game being played once, the third ordinary hitting determination is performed at most four times, and the third ordinary hitting game is also performed at most four times. In addition, during the third ordinary hit game, the third ordinary symbol does not change. In the third common hit determination, it is determined based on the third random number whether the third common hit or the drop is made. Of the four third ball holding balls stored by the four game balls winning in the second electric chew 13, the first third ordinary ball hitting judgment is performed for the first third ball holding ball. To be done.

  When the third ordinary hit determination is performed, the third ordinary symbol displayed on the third ordinary symbol display portion of the symbol display portion 24 starts to change. If it is determined that the third ordinary hit is determined by the third ordinary hit determination, the third ordinary hit game in which the opening and closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14 is opened is executed. When the gaming ball has won a prize in the open third electric chow 14, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of the winning gaming balls. Once the third electric chow 14 is opened, it is closed when a predetermined opening time (hereinafter referred to as "third opening time") elapses and any of the seven game ball winning conditions are satisfied. .

  The third electric chow 14 is a winning opening for acquiring a game ball and is also an operation opening of the fourth ordinary symbol. Therefore, when the game ball wins the third electric chow 14, the fourth ordinary hit determination is performed. In the present embodiment, the probability (hereinafter referred to as the “fourth ordinary hitting probability”) determined to be a hitting by the fourth ordinary hitting determination is 100%. Hereinafter, it is also referred to as "fourth ordinary hit" that it is determined to be a hit by the fourth ordinary hit determination. Note that the fourth common hit probability may not be 100%, and may be less than 100%. In the present embodiment, for the gaming ball that has won the third electric chew 14, the number for which the fourth ordinary hit determination is suspended and the random number can be stored (maximum fourth reserved ball number) is "4". It is. Therefore, according to the third ordinary winning game being played once, the fourth ordinary hitting determination is performed at most four times, and the fourth ordinary hitting game is also performed at most four times. In addition, the fourth ordinary symbol does not change during the fourth ordinary hit game. In the fourth ordinary hit determination, it is determined based on the fourth random number whether it is the fourth ordinary hit or not. Of the four fourth holding balls stored by the four game balls winning in the third electric chew 14, the first fourth ordinary hit judgment is made for the first fourth holding ball. To be done. Hereinafter, the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary hit game are repeatedly executed up to four times until the fourth number of balls held is reduced to “0”. Hereinafter, the fourth maximum hit per game played for each of the four game balls that have won the third electric chow 14 will be collectively referred to as a “series of fourth common hits game” below. The fourth electric chew 15 is opened after the fourth ordinary symbol indicating the fourth ordinary hit is displayed.

  In the pachinko machine 1, with the first ordinary winning game, the second ordinary hitting game, the third ordinary hitting game and a series of fourth ordinary hitting games, a game in which a plurality of electric power chews are continuously opened, "a big hit game" It is said. One jackpot game is a first ordinary hit game, a second ordinary hit game which is executed up to four times for one first ordinary hit game, and a second ordinary hit game It includes a third ordinary hit game which is executed up to four times, and a series of fourth ordinary hit games which are executed for each third ordinary hit game which is executed up to four times. The jackpot game, which is started when the jackpot game is determined to be the first jackpot by the first jackpot determination in a state where the jackpot game is not yet performed, is hereinafter also referred to as "first hit game".

  Although the details will be described later, when the jackpot game is started while the first holding ball is stored, or when the game ball passes the gate 11 during the jackpot game, when the jackpot game is ended, Several first holding balls may be stored. Such a first holding ball stored (remaining) after the end of the jackpot game is referred to as "remaining hold". The pachinko machine 1 performs the first normal hit determination based on the remaining hold after the jackpot game is over. When it is determined in the first ordinary hit determination based on the remaining reserve that the first ordinary hit is judged, the first ordinary hit game is performed, and the jackpot game starts again.

  The first electric chew solenoid 64 opens and closes the opening and closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12 during the first ordinary hit game. The second electric chow solenoid 65 opens and closes the open / close member 131 of the second electric chow 13 during the second normal hit game. The third electric chew solenoid 66 opens and closes the opening and closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14 during the third normal hit game. The fourth electric chew solenoid 67 opens and closes the open / close member 151 of the fourth electric chew 15 during the fourth ordinary hit game. The first electric chew switch 71 is provided in the first electric chew 12 and detects gaming balls that have won the first electric chew 12. The second electric chew switch 72 is provided in the second electric chew 13 and detects gaming balls that have won the second electric chew 13. The third electric chow switch 73 is provided in the third electric chow 14 and detects gaming balls that have won the third electric chow 14. The fourth electric chew switch 74 is provided in the fourth electric chew 15, and detects gaming balls that have won the fourth electric chew 15.

  The power supply substrate 42 is connected to the main substrate 41 and the game ball launch device 37, and supplies stabilized power to each substrate and the game ball launch device 37 with direct current. The game ball emission device 37 emits one game ball to the game area 4 at regular intervals (0.6 seconds in the present embodiment).

  The first common hit relation information storage area of the RAM 52 will be described with reference to FIG. The first ordinary winning relation information storage area is used in the first ordinary symbol processing (see FIG. 7) of the main processing described later. A plurality of storage areas are provided in the first common hit relation information storage area. In the present embodiment, four storage areas corresponding to the maximum first number of reserved balls are provided in the first common winning relation information storage area. When the game ball passes through the gate 11, if the first number of held balls by passage of the game balls to the gate 11 is less than 4 (0 to 3) among the number of held balls, random numbers are sequentially arranged from the storage area with the smallest number. Is stored.

  The first holding ball number is the number of random numbers stored among the random numbers corresponding to the gaming balls having passed through the gate 11 in a state in which the execution of the first ordinary hitting determination is held. The CPU 51 sets the storage area with the smallest number among the random numbers of the storage area for which processing has not been performed as the determination area, and performs various processes such as the first ordinary hit determination on the random numbers stored in the determination area. When the process related to the random number stored in the determination area ends, the storage area with the next smallest number is determined as the determination area, and the process such as the first ordinary hitting determination is repeated. The processing relating to the random numbers stored in the determination area relates, for example, to a notification effect notifying the determination result of the first ordinary hitting determination, and a first ordinary winning game to be executed when the determination result is the first ordinary hitting It is a process. Note that the random numbers in the storage area for which processing has been completed are deleted as appropriate. The various random numbers acquired together with the first random number and stored in the first common percussion relationship information storage area are also collectively referred to as a first random number.

  In each storage area, a first hit random number field in which the value of the first ordinary hit determination counter is stored, a first symbol decision random number field in which the hit of the first ordinary symbol decision counter is stored, and a first variation pattern decision counter A first variation pattern determination random number field is provided in which the value of is stored. When the gaming ball passes through the gate 11, the random number generated for each kind of random number by the random number generation circuit 56 at that time is latched by the hard circuit and stored in each column. The first random number is used to determine the first ordinary hit. The first symbol determination random number is used to determine the first ordinary symbol. The first variation pattern determination random number is used to determine a first variation pattern indicating a variation time of the first normal symbol displayed on the first normal symbol display portion of the symbol display portion 24.

  In the pachinko machine 1, the fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol is equal to the effect time of the informing effect of informing the player of the result of the first ordinary hitting determination. The sub control board 58 controls the informing effect in accordance with the first variation pattern determined by the main board 41. Specifically, the main substrate 41 starts the variation of the first normal symbol according to the first variation pattern. The sub control board 58 starts the fluctuation display of the effect pattern in synchronization with the start of the fluctuation of the first normal symbol. When the variation time of the first normal symbol which has started to change is ended, the main substrate 41 displays the first normal symbol which has been changed, for a predetermined time (0.8 seconds in this embodiment). . The sub control board 58 displays the effect pattern in synchronization with the confirmation display of the first normal symbol. In addition to the display of the effect design on the display screen 28, the sub control board 58 also performs notification effect synchronized with the first variation pattern by the speaker 48 or the like.

  In the RAM 52, a second common winning relation information storage area, a third common hitting relation information storage area, and a fourth common hitting relation information area are provided. The second ordinary winning relation information storage area, the third ordinary hitting relation information storage area, and the fourth ordinary hitting relation information area are configured similarly to the first ordinary winning relation information storage area. When the game ball wins the second electric chow 13, third electric chow 14 or fourth electric chow 15, the random number generated for each kind of random number by the random number generation circuit 56 at that time is latched by the hard circuit, It is stored in each column of the second ordinary winning relation information storage area, the third ordinary hitting relation information storage area, or the fourth ordinary hitting relation information storage area. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation time of the second ordinary symbol and the fluctuation time of the third ordinary symbol the fourth ordinary symbol are each set to a fixed time (2.0 seconds). In such a case, the second variation pattern determination random number field and the third variation pattern determination random number field are stored in the second common winning relation information storage area, the third common hitting relation information storage area and the fourth common hitting relation information storage area. May not be provided. Various kinds of second random numbers, third random numbers, fourth random numbers acquired with and stored in the second common hit relation information storage area, the third common hit relation information storage area, and the fourth common hit relation information storage area The random numbers are generically referred to as a second random number, a third random number, and a fourth random number, respectively. Among the first to fourth random numbers stored in the first to fourth ordinary winning relation information area, the first to fourth random numbers stored in an area other than the determination area described later are first to fourth reserved. It corresponds to a sphere. In the following description, when the first random number, the second random number, the third random number and the fourth random number are collectively referred to, or when one of them is not specified, it is also simply referred to as a random number.

  The first variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 53 will be described with reference to FIG. The first variation pattern determination table is provided with a plurality of tables according to the determination result (first common hit or removal) by the first normal hit determination. In each table, the value (0 to 511) of the first variation pattern determination random number and the variation time of the first ordinary symbol (the variation time of the notification effect) are associated with each first variation pattern. When the first common hit determination is performed, a table corresponding to the determination result is referred to, and one variation pattern corresponding to the value of the first variation pattern determination random number acquired along with the first per-piece random number is determined.

  When the judgment result by the first ordinary hitting judgment is the first ordinary hitting, “normal reach”, “reach effect A”, “reach effect B”, “reach effect C”, “reach effect D”, “reach effect” In the order of E ", the rate at which the variation pattern is determined increases. On the other hand, when the determination result by the first ordinary hit determination is a loss, “normal reach”, “reach effect A”, “reach effect B”, “reach effect C”, “reach effect D”, “reach effect E” In the order of “1”, the rate at which the variation pattern is determined decreases. Therefore, the expected value for which the judgment result by the first ordinary hitting judgment is the first ordinary hitting is "normal reach", "reach effect A", "reach effect B", "reach effect C", "reach effect D", " Reach production E becomes higher in the order. In addition, reach production is information production which performs production which shows that a decision result may be the first usual hit, after a production design constitutes a predetermined reach state. In the present embodiment, the first variation pattern of “non-reach” corresponds to notification effect that the effect is displayed in a finalized manner in a combination indicating the determination result of disengaging, without reaching the reach state. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern of “non-reach” is determined only when the determination result by the first common hit determination is a loss.

  The main substrate 41 generates a variation pattern specification command which is a command for specifying the determined variation pattern, and transmits the generated variation pattern specification command to the sub control substrate 58. The sub control board 58 executes the notification effect by controlling the display screen 28 and the speaker 48 according to the fluctuation pattern designated by the command. In addition, a production | presentation pattern does not need to be used for alerting | reporting production. Further, the main substrate 41 causes the first normal symbol to change for a change time determined in accordance with the determined change pattern.

  Similar to the first variation pattern determination table, the ROM 53 is provided with second to fourth variation pattern determination tables. When the second to fourth ordinary hit determinations are performed, a table corresponding to the determination result is referred to, and one variation pattern corresponding to the value of the variation pattern determination random number acquired along with the per random number is determined. The main substrate 41 causes the second to fourth ordinary symbols to change for a change time determined in accordance with the determined change pattern.

  In pachinko machine 1, the fluctuation time of the first to fourth ordinary symbols while any electric chew is open, for the reason such as to avoid that the first to fourth per game are performed redundantly, etc. Measurement is not performed. The first to fourth ordinary symbols in the period in which the measurement of the fluctuation time is interrupted are continued without stopping the fluctuation after interrupting the measurement of the predetermined fluctuation time. For this reason, when any electric power is released during the fluctuation of the first to fourth ordinary symbols, the first fluctuation time is a time obtained by adding a period in which the measurement is interrupted. The variation of the fourth ordinary symbol is continued. Therefore, the substantial fluctuation time of the first to fourth ordinary symbols in the jackpot game in which a plurality of electric chow are opened continuously may be longer than the fluctuation time predetermined for each ordinary symbol.

  In the game machine of the conventional general electric pole type, in order to interlock a plurality of electric chow in the order intended by the designer, especially, the fluctuation time of the second to fourth ordinary symbols is a time according to the interlocking mode of electric chow You need to design. As in the present embodiment, in the jackpot game, in the gaming machine of the specification in which the first electric chow 12, the second electric chow 13, the third electric chow 14 and the fourth electric chow 15 sequentially interlock, for example, the third ordinary symbol The fluctuation time is designed to be as long as the time taken to execute the series of fourth ordinary hits. As a result, while the series of the fourth ordinary hit game is executed, the third ordinary symbol performs the next variation, and the third ordinary symbol ends the variation by the time the series of the fourth ordinary hit game ends. The third ordinary hit is made to be played. In addition, the variation time of the second ordinary symbol is the same as the time it takes to repeat the third ordinary hit game and the series of the fourth ordinary hit game the number of times according to the maximum number of third holding balls. Designed to be a length of time. As a result, while the third ordinary winning game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are repeatedly executed the number of times (four times in the present embodiment) according to the maximum number of third holding balls, the second ordinary symbol is the next Make a change. In this case, the variation of the second ordinary symbol is ended and the second ordinary hit game is performed when the third ordinary hit game and the series of repeated games of the fourth normal hit end. Here, the longer the open time of the electric chew, the easier it is for the game ball to win the electric chew. For this reason, the open time of the electric chew is carefully designed in terms of the design of the game balls and the like. It is necessary to design the variation time of the normal symbol which fluctuates during the big hit game in which a plurality of electric chews are open, taking into consideration the opening time of each electric chew and the period when the measurement of the fluctuation time is interrupted. For this reason, the design of the variation time of the normal symbol during the jackpot game tends to be complicated.

  In addition, when the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is designed as described above, the player interrupts the firing of the game ball in the middle of the big hit game, etc., or the gate or the normal which becomes the opening opportunity of the electric chew for some reason Passage to the game ball or winning may not occur in the symbol operation opening. In the above example, if the game ball did not win the second electric chow 13 opened in the second ordinary hit game, the third ordinary hit during the fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol performed after the end of the second ordinary hit A game is not played. In this case, a series of fourth ordinary hitting games are performed by the game ball winning in the third electric chow 14 which is originally opened in the third ordinary hitting, but the third ordinary hitting game is not performed , A series of fourth ordinary hit game is not played. Therefore, if the game ball does not win the second electric chow 13, a period during which no electric chow is released during the fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol will occur during the big hit game, and the player will have the impression that the big hit game was extended There is a possibility of giving.

  In addition, depending on the game specification, at least one of the second common probability probability the third common hit probability and the fourth common hit probability is less than 100%, and the second common hit judgment, the third common hit judgment or the fourth common hit It may be determined that there is a loss in the collision determination. For example, when the second common hit probability is less than 100%, it may be determined that the second common hit determination is a departure. When it is determined that the second ordinary hit is determined to be out, the second ordinary hitting game is not performed after the variation of the second ordinary symbol, and the third ordinary hitting game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are not performed. Here, among the variations of the normal symbols, the variation in which the symbol indicating the winning is determined and displayed is referred to as a variation, and the variation in which the symbol indicating the falling is determined is referred to as the variation being removed. At this time, although the second ordinary pattern which fluctuates next to the out-of-out fluctuation is the second electric chew 13, the third electric chew 13, although the second electric chew 13, the third electric chew 14 and the fourth electric The open time of the tune 14 and the fourth power tune 15 fluctuates in consideration of the change time. In this case, the jackpot game may be delayed.

  The pachinko machine 1 defines, in at least a part of the plurality of ordinary symbols, a fluctuation priority that indicates a priority that preferentially fluctuates with respect to other ordinary symbols. In this case, in the jackpot game, since the normal hit determination is performed in the order according to the change priority, a plurality of electric chews can operate in order according to the change priority. Therefore, for example, even when the game ball did not win a prize in the electric chew that functions as the operation opening of the normal symbol, or when it is determined to be a loss in the ordinary hit determination triggered by the prize for the electric chew, It is hard to occur. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 can interlock the electric chow in the order intended by the designer without designing the fluctuation time taking into consideration the open time of the electric chow etc. for the ordinary pattern whose fluctuation priority has been determined. . Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can design the fluctuation time of the normal pattern to any time shorter than the time in consideration of the open time of the electric chow or the like. Thereby, the design burden of the fluctuation time of a normal symbol is reduced.

  The operation of the main substrate 41 of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 14. Main control of the pachinko machine 1 is performed by a control program stored in the ROM 53. The main process of the control program (see FIG. 6) is executed by the CPU 51 when the CPU 51 detects an interrupt signal generated by the interrupt signal generation circuit 57 (see FIG. 3) every 4 ms. Hereinafter, each step of the flowchart is abbreviated as "S".

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the main processing is started, first, command output processing is performed (S10). In the command output process, the control command is output to the sub control board 58, the payout control board 45, the relay board 47, and the like. The control command output here is a control command stored in the RAM 52 in the main process performed last time.

  Next, a switch reading process is performed (S11). In the switch reading process, the game ball is detected from the detection results of the switches (refer to FIG. 3) provided on the gate 11, the first electric tube 12, the second electric tube 13, the third electric tube 14 and the fourth electric tube 15. Processing for detection is performed. When each switch detects the passage of the gaming ball, the flag corresponding to each switch is turned "ON".

  Next, a counter update process is performed (S12). In the counter updating process, the value of the random number acquisition counter stored in the RAM 52 is added, and the first to fourth ordinary symbol fluctuation time which is a timer counter for measuring the fluctuation time of the first to fourth ordinary symbols The value of the counter is subtracted.

  Next, the first ordinary electric symbol processing is performed (S13). Although the details will be described later, in the first ordinary electric character processing, when the first ordinary symbol indicating the first ordinary hit is displayed on the symbol display portion 24, the operation of the first ordinary hit game (mainly the first electric A process for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 121 of the chew 12 is performed (see FIG. 8).

  Next, the first ordinary symbol processing is performed (S14). Although the details will be described later, in the first ordinary symbol processing, processing such as first ordinary hitting judgment, determination of a first variation pattern, and the like is performed (see FIG. 7).

  Next, the second ordinary electric symbol processing is performed (S15). Although details will be described later, in the second ordinary electric character processing, when the second ordinary symbol indicating the second ordinary hit is displayed on the symbol display portion 24, the second ordinary hit game operation (mainly the second electric A process for controlling the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member 131 of the che 13 is performed (see FIG. 10).

  Next, a second normal symbol process is performed (S16). Although the details will be described later, in the second ordinary symbol processing, processing such as second ordinary hitting judgment is performed (see FIG. 9).

  Next, the third ordinary electric character processing is performed (S17). Although the details will be described later, in the third ordinary electric character processing, when the third ordinary symbol indicating the third ordinary hit is displayed on the symbol display portion 24, the operation of the third ordinary hit game (mainly the third electric A process for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 141 of the che 14 is performed (see FIG. 12).

  Next, third ordinary symbol processing is performed (S18). Although details will be described later, in the third ordinary symbol processing, processing such as third ordinary hitting determination is performed (see FIG. 11).

  Next, a fourth ordinary motorized character processing is performed (S19). Although details will be described later, in the fourth ordinary electric character processing, when the fourth ordinary symbol indicating the fourth ordinary hit is displayed on the symbol display portion 24, the fourth ordinary hit game operation (mainly the fourth electric A process for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 151 of the chew 15 is performed (see FIG. 14).

  Next, the fourth ordinary symbol processing is performed (S19). Although the details will be described later, in the fourth ordinary symbol processing, processing such as fourth ordinary hitting judgment is performed (see FIG. 13).

  Next, a payout process (S21), an error check (S22), and an information output process (S23) are performed. In the payout process, when the flag corresponding to each switch is set to "ON" by the switch reading process, a command indicating that the gaming ball has won in the winning opening corresponding to each switch is transmitted to the payout control board 45 Ru. Having received this command, the CPU 45a of the payout control board 45 causes the prize ball payout device 49 to pay out the number of prize balls predetermined for the prize opening corresponding to the command in accordance with the number of winning balls to the prize opening. . In the error check, when an error occurs, the error is notified using the display screen 28 and the speaker 48 or the like. In the information output process, various types of information are output to a game arcade management computer (not shown).

  The flags used in the main processing will be described. The RAM 52 has a big hit game state flag, a first ordinary hit game flag, a second normal hit game flag, a third normal hit game flag, a fourth normal hit game flag, a first change flag, a second change flag, A third change flag, a fourth change flag, a first open flag, a second open flag, a third open flag, a fourth open flag, and the like are stored. In the jackpot gaming state flag, “1” is stored during the jackpot game and becomes “ON”, and when the jackpot game is not in progress, “0” is stored and becomes “OFF”. After the first ordinary winning game flag is determined to be the first ordinary hitting in the first ordinary hitting determination, “1” is stored and turned “ON”, and “0” is stored after the first ordinary hitting game is over. It is turned off. The second normal hit game flag is stored as "1" after being determined to be the second normal hit in the second normal hit determination and turned "ON", and "0" is stored after the second normal hit game is over. It is turned off. The third ordinary hit in-game flag is stored as "1" after being determined to be the third ordinary hit in the third ordinary hit judgment and turned "ON", and "0" is stored after the third ordinary hit game is over. It is turned off. The fourth ordinary hit in-game flag is stored as “1” after being determined to be the fourth ordinary hit in the fourth ordinary hit judgment and turned “ON”, and “0” is stored after the fourth ordinary hit game is over It is turned off.

  As the first change flag, "1" is stored and "ON" when the first normal symbol is changed (during change), and "0" is stored when the first normal symbol is not changed. It is turned off. As the second variation flag, "1" is stored during the variation of the second normal symbol and becomes "ON", and "0" is stored and becomes "OFF" when the second normal symbol is not changing. As the third change flag, "1" is stored during the change of the third normal symbol and becomes "ON", and when the third normal symbol is not changing, "0" is stored and becomes "OFF". As the fourth variation flag, "1" is stored during the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol and becomes "ON", and "0" is stored and becomes "OFF" when the fourth ordinary symbol is not in the process of variation.

  As the first opening flag, “1” is stored during opening of the first electric tube 12 and turned “ON”, and “0” is stored during closing of the first electric wheel 12 and turned “OFF”. As the second open flag, “1” is stored during opening of the second electric chow 13 and turned “ON”, and “0” is stored during closing of the second electric chow 13 and turned “OFF”. As the third opening flag, "1" is stored during opening of the third power chew 14 to be "ON", and "0" is stored during closing of the third power chewing 14 and is "off". As the fourth open flag, “1” is stored while the fourth electric chow 15 is open and turned “ON”, and “0” is stored while the fourth electric chute 15 is closed and “OFF”.

  The details of the first ordinary symbol processing (S14, see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. When the first normal symbol processing is started, it is determined whether the gaming ball has passed through the gate 11 (S31). When the gate switch 61 provided in the gate 11 detects the passage of the game ball, the flag corresponding to the gate switch 61 is turned "ON" in the switch reading process (S11, see FIG. 6) of the main process. If this flag is not "ON", it is determined that the game ball has not passed (S31: NO), and the process proceeds to the determination of S41. If the flag is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has passed through the gate 11 (S31: YES), and it is determined whether the first number of holding balls is "4" (S32). If the first holding ball number is "4" (S32: YES), the first holding ball number has reached the maximum first holding ball number, so the process proceeds to the determination of S41.

  If the first holding ball number is not "4" (S32: NO), "1" is added to the first holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 (S33). Next, the first random number and the first variation pattern determination random number are acquired as the first reserved random number, and among the empty storage areas in the first common hit relationship information storage area (see FIG. 4), It is stored (S35). Specifically, the value of the first ordinary hitting determination counter is stored in the first random number field, and the value of the first variation pattern determining counter is stored in the first variation pattern determination random number field. Other types of random numbers such as a first symbol determination random number used to determine the first ordinary symbol may be included as the first reserved random number. The processing shifts to S41.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric chews are inoperative (S41). If any of the first to fourth normal hit gaming flags is "ON", it is determined that any one of the power chew is in operation (S41: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing. For example, if it becomes the first common hit and then the second common hit or the third common hit, the first electric chow 12, the second electric chow 13, the third electric chow 14 and the fourth electric in the jackpot game Chew 15 will be released. The pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the first to fourth ordinary symbols when any electric power is in operation, thereby overlapping the first to fourth ordinary hit games. I try not to be.

  If all of the first to fourth normal hit gaming flags are "OFF", it is determined that all the electric chow is inactive (S41: YES), and the first normal symbol is fluctuating A decision is made (S42). If the first change flag is "OFF", it is determined that the first normal symbol is not changing (S42: NO), and it is determined whether the fourth holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more It is determined (S43). If the fourth holding ball number is "1" or more (S43: YES), the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, when the fourth holding ball number is "0" (S43: NO), it is determined whether the third holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more (S45). If the third number of balls held is "1" or more (S45: YES), the process returns to the main process. When the third holding ball number is "0" (S45: NO), it is determined whether the second holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more (S46). When the second holding ball number is "1" or more (S46: YES), the processing returns to the main processing. On the other hand, when the second holding ball number is "0" (S46: NO), it is determined whether the first holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more (S49). When the first holding ball number is "0" (S49: NO), the processing returns to the main processing.

  On the other hand, when the first holding ball number is "1" or more (S49: YES), the first holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is decremented by "1" (S51). The determination area of the first ordinary winning relation information storage area (see FIG. 4) is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S52). Next, a first normal hit determination is performed (S53). The first normal hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the first common hit determination table, random number values of first hit random numbers respectively corresponding to "first common hit" and "outside" are defined. The first collision determination table is referred to, and it is determined whether the first collision random number stored in the determination area shifted in S52 corresponds to "first normal collision" or "losing". In this manner, when at least one of the second number of holding balls, the third number of holding balls, and the fourth number of holding balls is “1” or more, the first ordinary hit determination is not performed. When all of the second holding ball number, the third holding ball number, and the fourth holding ball number are “0”, the first common hit determination based on the undetermined first per random number stored in the RAM 52, The first is performed in the order in which the random numbers are stored. In the present embodiment, in the first common hit determination, it is determined that the first common hit is made with the first common hit probability (about 1/250).

  Next, the first variation pattern determination table (see FIG. 5) is referred to, and one of the first variation patterns according to the determination result of the first ordinary hitting determination is determined by the value of the first variation pattern determination random number. A first variation pattern specification command for specifying the determined first variation pattern is generated (S55). The generated first variation pattern specification command is stored in the RAM 52. The stored first variation pattern designation command is transmitted to the sub control board 58 and the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time, and the notification effect starts, and Indicate the start of fluctuation of the normal symbol. The fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol determined in accordance with the determined first fluctuation pattern is stored in the first ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter (S56). “1” indicating that the first ordinary symbol is changing is stored in the first change flag and turned “ON” (S58), and the process returns to the main process.

  Thus, as long as at least one of the number of second holding balls, the number of third holding balls and the number of fourth holding balls is "1" or more, the first ordinary symbol does not change regardless of the first number of holding balls. . If the number of second holding balls, the number of third holding balls and the number of fourth holding balls are all "0", the first ordinary symbol changes when the first number of holding balls is "1" or more Do. That is, the variation priority of the first ordinary symbol is lower than the variation priority of the second ordinary symbol, the third ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol, and is the lowest among the ordinary symbols of the pachinko machine 1.

  On the other hand, if the first change flag is "ON" in the determination of S42, it is determined that the first normal symbol is changing (S42: YES), and the first normal symbol change stored in the process of S56 4 ms is subtracted from the value of the time counter (S61). Next, based on the value of the first normal symbol variation time counter, it is determined whether the variation time of the first normal symbol has elapsed (S62). If the value of the first ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is not "0", it is judged that the fluctuation time of the first ordinary symbol has not yet passed (S62: NO), and the fluctuation of the first ordinary symbol is continued, The processing returns to the main processing. If the value of the first ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is "0", it is determined that the first ordinary symbol fluctuation time has elapsed (S62: YES), and the first ordinary symbol stop command is generated (S63) ), Stored in the RAM 52. The stored first ordinary symbol stop command is transmitted to the sub control board 58 by command output processing (S10, see FIG. 6) and to the symbol display portion 24 via the relay board 47, and the notification effect is ended, The first normal symbol change command is instructed. The symbol display unit 24 having received the first normal symbol stop command stops the fluctuation of the first normal symbol. “0” indicating that the first ordinary symbol is not changing is stored in the first changing flag and turned “OFF” (S65).

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the first ordinary hitting determination performed in S53 is the first ordinary hitting (S66). If the result of the first ordinary hit determination is a release (S66: NO), the process returns to the main process. If the result of the first normal hit determination is the first normal hit (S66: YES), the jackpot gaming state flag is set to "ON" (S68), and the first normal hit gaming flag is set to "ON" (S69) ). The processing returns to the main processing.

  The details of the first ordinary electric combination processing (S13, see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. When the first ordinary electric role processing is started, it is determined whether a jackpot game is in progress (S71). If the jackpot gaming state flag is "OFF", it is determined that the jackpot game is not in progress (S71: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing. If the jackpot gaming state flag is "ON", it is determined that a jackpot game is in progress (S71: YES), and it is determined whether a first ordinary hit game is in progress (S72). If the first ordinary winning game flag is "OFF", it is determined that the first ordinary hitting game is not in progress (S72: NO), and the process returns to the main process.

  If the first ordinary winning game flag is "ON", it is determined that the first ordinary hitting game is in progress (S72: YES), and control regarding the first ordinary winning game is performed. First, it is determined whether the first electric chew 12 is open (S73). If the first open flag is "OFF", it is determined that the first electric chew 12 is not open (is closing) (S73: NO), and the first electric charge for opening the first electric chew 12 is determined. A chew release command is generated (S91) and stored in the RAM 52. The first power-up release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 7) of the main process to be executed next time. The first electric chew solenoid 64 that has received the first electric chew open command via the relay substrate 47 opens the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12. Next, the first opening time is stored in the first opening time counter (S92). Next, the first open flag is set to "ON" (S93), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the first opening flag is "ON", it is determined that the first electric chew 12 is in the open state (S73: YES), and the processing of the gaming ball that has won the first electric chewing 12 and the first A process is performed to close the electric chew 12. First, it is determined whether the first opening time has elapsed (S75). If the value of the first opening time counter stored in the process of S92 is not "0", it is determined that the first opening time has not yet elapsed (S75: NO), and the game ball to the first electric chow 12 is made It is determined whether or not the player has won (S76). If the flag corresponding to the first electric chew switch 71 is "OFF", it is determined that the gaming ball has not won the first electric chew 12 (S76: NO), and the process is determined at S79. Transition to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the first electric chow switch 71 is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has won the first electric chow 12 (S76: YES). Therefore, "1" is added to the first winning ball number counter of the RAM 52 for counting the first winning ball number, which is the number of gaming balls having won the first electric chow 12 (S78). Next, it is determined whether the first winning ball number is "4" or more (S79). If the first winning ball number is less than "4" (S79: NO), since the first electric chew 12 is continuously opened, the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the first winning ball number is "4" or more (S79: YES), or if the first opening time has elapsed (S75: YES), the first electric chew closed to close the first electric chew 12 A command is generated (S81). The generated first power-up closing command is stored in the RAM 52, and is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The first electric chew solenoid 64 that has received the first electric chew open command via the relay substrate 47 closes the opening / closing member 121 of the first electric chew 12. Next, “0” is stored in the first open flag and turned “OFF” (S 82), and “0” is stored in the first ordinary hit game flag and turned “OFF” (S 83). The processing returns to the main processing.

  The details of the second normal symbol process (S16, see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. When the second ordinary symbol processing is started, it is determined whether the gaming ball has won the first electric chow 12 (S101). If the flag corresponding to the first electric chew switch 71 is "OFF", it is determined that the gaming ball has not won the first electric chew 12 (S101: NO), and the process is determined at S111. Transition to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the first electric chow switch 71 is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has won the first electric chow 12 (S101: YES), and the second holding ball number is " It is judged whether it is 4 "(S103). If the second holding ball number is "4" (S103: YES), the second holding ball number has reached the maximum second holding ball number, so the process proceeds to the determination of S111.

  If the second holding ball number is not "4" (S103: NO), "1" is added to the second holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 (S106). Next, the second random number is acquired, and among the empty storage areas in the second common hit relation information area, the second random number is stored in the storage area with the smallest number (S107). The processing shifts to the determination of S111.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric chews are inoperative (S111). If at least one of the first to fourth normal hit gaming flags is "ON", it is determined that one of the power chew is in operation (S111: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the second ordinary symbol during the opening of any of the electric chow.

  If all of the first to fourth normal hitting game flags are "OFF", it is determined that all the electric chow is inactive (S111: YES) and the second normal symbol is fluctuating A decision is made (S112). If the second change flag is "OFF", it is determined that the second normal symbol is not changing (S112: NO), whether the fourth holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more It is determined (S113). When the fourth holding ball number is "1" or more (S113: YES), the processing returns to the main processing.

  On the other hand, when the fourth holding ball number is "0" (S113: NO), it is determined whether the third holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more (S115). When the third holding ball number is “1” or more (S115: YES), the process returns to the main process. When the third holding ball number is "0" (S115: NO), it is determined whether the second holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more (S119). If the stored second holding ball number is “0” (S119: NO), the variation of the second normal symbol is not performed, and the process returns to the main process.

  When the second holding ball number is "1" or more (S119: YES), the first holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is decremented by "1" (S121). The determination area of the second ordinary winning relation information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S122).

  Next, a second ordinary hit determination is performed (S123). The second ordinary hit determination is performed by referring to the second ordinary hit determination table. The second ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the second common hit determination table, random value values of second hit random numbers respectively corresponding to "second common hit" and "outside" are defined. The second common hit determination table is referred to, and it is determined whether the second hit random number stored in the determination area shifted in S122 corresponds to "second second hit" or "off". As a result, the second ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined second hit random number stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the second hit random number is stored. In the present embodiment, in the second ordinary hitting determination, it is determined that the second ordinary hitting is performed with the second ordinary hitting probability (100%).

  Next, a second ordinary symbol fluctuation start command for starting fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol is generated (S125) and stored in the RAM 52. The second normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts fluctuation of the second normal symbol. Next, the second normal symbol fluctuation time (2 seconds in this embodiment), which is determined in advance, is stored in the second normal symbol fluctuation time counter (S126). “1” indicating that the second ordinary symbol is changing is stored in the second changing flag and turned “ON” (S128), and the process returns to the main process.

  Thus, as long as at least one of the third holding ball number and the fourth holding ball number is “1” or more, the second ordinary symbol does not change regardless of the second holding ball number. When the number of third holding balls and the number of fourth holding balls are both “0”, the second normal symbol fluctuates when the number of second holding balls is “1” or more. That is, the variation priority of the second ordinary symbol is lower than that of the third ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol. As described above, the variation priority of the first ordinary symbol is lower than the second ordinary symbol, the third ordinary symbol, the third ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol, and is the lowest among the ordinary symbols of the pachinko machine 1. Therefore, between the first ordinary symbol and the second ordinary symbol, the variation priority of the second ordinary symbol is higher than the variation priority of the first ordinary symbol. The relationship of the change priority between the first ordinary symbol and the second ordinary symbol is hereinafter referred to as "second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol".

  On the other hand, if the second change flag is "ON" in the determination of S112, it is determined that the second normal symbol is changing (S112: YES), and the second normal symbol change stored in the processing of S126 4 ms is subtracted from the value of the time counter (S131). Next, based on the value of the second ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter, it is determined whether the fluctuation time of the second ordinary symbol has elapsed (S132). If the value of the second ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is not "0", it is determined that the fluctuation time of the second ordinary symbol has not yet elapsed (S132: NO), and the fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol is continued, The processing returns to the main processing.

  If the value of the second ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is "0", it is judged that the fluctuation time of the second ordinary symbol has passed (S132: YES), and the fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol is stopped. The second normal symbol stop command is generated (S133) and stored in the RAM 52. The second ordinary symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 having received the second ordinary symbol stop command stops the fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol. Next, "0" indicating that the second ordinary symbol is not changing is stored in the second changing flag and turned "OFF" (S135).

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the second normal hit determination performed in S123 is a second normal hit (S136). If the result of the second ordinary hit determination is a release (S136: NO), the process returns to the main process. If the result of the second ordinary hitting determination is the second ordinary hitting (S136: YES), the second ordinary hitting in-game flag is set to "ON" (S139). The processing returns to the main processing.

  With reference to FIG. 10, the details of the second ordinary motor-operated part processing (S16, see FIG. 6) will be described. When the second ordinary electric role processing is started, it is determined whether or not the second ordinary hit is in progress (S141). If the second normal winning game flag is "OFF", it is determined that the second normal hitting game is not in progress (S141: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the second ordinary winning game flag is "ON", it is determined that the second ordinary hitting game is in progress (S141: YES), and control regarding the second ordinary hitting game is performed. First, it is determined whether the second electric chew 13 is open (S143). If the second open flag is "OFF", it is determined that the second electric chew 13 is closing (S143: NO), and a second electric chew open command for opening the second electric chew 13 is generated. And stored in the RAM 52 (S161). The second power-up release command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The second electric chew solenoid 65 that has received the second electric chew open command via the relay substrate 47 opens the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13. Next, the second open time is stored in the second open time counter (S162). Next, the second open flag is set to "ON" (S163), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the second open flag is "ON", it is determined that the second electric chew 13 is in the open state (S143: YES), and the processing of the gaming ball won the second electric chew 13, and the second A process for closing the electric tube 13 is performed. First, it is determined whether the second opening time has elapsed (S145). If the value of the second opening time counter stored in S162 is not "0", it is determined that the second opening time has not yet elapsed (S145: NO), and the game ball wins the second electric chow 13 It is determined whether it has been done (S146). When the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is "OFF", it is determined that the gaming ball has not won the second electric chew 13 (S146: NO), and the process is determined at S149. Transition to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the second electric chow switch 72 is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has won the second electric chow 13 (S146: YES). For this reason, "1" is added to the second winning ball number counter of the RAM 52 for counting the second winning ball number which is the number of gaming balls that have won the second electric chow 13 (S148). Next, it is determined whether the second winning ball number is "4" or more (S149). If the second winning ball number is less than "4" (S149: NO), since the second electric chew 13 is continuously opened, the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the second winning ball number is "4" or more (S149: YES), or if the second opening time has elapsed (S145: YES), the second electric chew closing command for closing the second electric chew 13 is It is generated (S151) and stored in the RAM 52. The second power-up closing command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The second electric chew solenoid 65 that has received the second electric chew open command via the relay substrate 47 closes the opening / closing member 131 of the second electric chew 13. Next, "0" is stored in the second open flag and turned "OFF" (S152), and "0" is stored in the second normal hit game flag and turned "OFF" (S153). The processing returns to the main processing.

  The details of the third ordinary symbol processing (S18, see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. When the third normal symbol processing is started, it is determined whether the gaming ball has won the second electric chow 13 (S171). When the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is "OFF", it is determined that the gaming ball has not won the second electric chew 13 (S171: NO), and the process is determined at S181. Transition to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the second electric chew switch 72 is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has won the second electric chew 13 (S171: YES), and the third holding ball number is " It is judged whether it is 4 "(S173). If the third holding ball number is "4" (S173: YES), the third holding ball number has reached the maximum third holding ball number, so the process proceeds to the determination of S181.

  When the third holding ball number is not "4" (S173: NO), "1" is added to the third holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 (S176). Next, the third random number is acquired, and among the empty storage areas in the third common winning relation information area, the third random number is stored in the storage area with the smallest number (S177). The processing shifts to the determination of S181.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric chews are inoperative (S181). If at least one of the first to fourth ordinary hit in-game flags is "ON", it is determined that one of the power chews is open (S181: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the third ordinary symbol during the opening of any electric chew.

  If all of the first to fourth normal hit gaming flags are "OFF", it is determined that all the electric chow is inactive (S181: YES) and the third normal symbol is fluctuating A decision is made (S 182). If the third change flag is "OFF", it is determined that the third normal symbol is not changing (S182: NO) and it is determined whether the fourth holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more It is determined (S183). When the fourth holding ball number is "1" or more (S183: YES), the processing returns to the main processing.

  On the other hand, when the fourth holding ball number is "0" (S183: NO), it is determined whether the third holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more (S189). If the stored third holding ball number is "0" (S189: NO), the variation of the third ordinary symbol is not performed, and the processing returns to the main processing. When the third holding ball number is "1" or more (S189: YES), the third holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is decremented by "1" (S191). The determination area of the third common winning relation information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S192).

  Next, a third normal hit determination is performed (S193). The third ordinary hit determination is performed by referring to the third ordinary hit determination table. The third ordinary hit determination table is stored in the ROM 53. In the third common hit determination table, random number values of third hit random numbers respectively corresponding to "third common hit" and "outside" are defined. The third common hit determination table is referred to, and it is determined whether the third per random number stored in the determination area shifted in S192 corresponds to either “third common hit” or “losing”. As a result, the third ordinary hit determination based on the undetermined third hit random number stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the third hit random number is stored. In the present embodiment, the third common hit is determined to be the third common hit with the third common hit probability (100%).

  Next, a third ordinary symbol variation start command for starting variation of the third ordinary symbol is generated (S195) and stored in the RAM 52. The third normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts the variation of the third normal symbol. Next, the variation time (2 seconds in this embodiment) of the predetermined third ordinary symbol is stored in the third ordinary symbol variation time counter (S 196). “1” indicating that the third ordinary symbol is being changed is stored in the third change flag and turned “ON” (S198), and the processing returns to the main processing.

  Thus, as long as the fourth holding ball number is “1” or more, the third ordinary symbol does not change regardless of the third holding ball number. When the fourth number of balls held is "0", the third ordinary symbol fluctuates. That is, the fluctuation priority of the third ordinary symbol is lower than the fluctuation priority of the fourth ordinary symbol. Therefore, the relation of the change priority between the third ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol can be expressed as "fourth ordinary symbol> third ordinary symbol". As described above, the variation priority between the first ordinary symbol and the second ordinary symbol is "second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol", and the variation priority of the second ordinary symbol is the third ordinary symbol. Lower than the symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol. Therefore, the variation priority of the first to fourth ordinary symbols is "fourth ordinary symbol> third ordinary symbol> second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol".

  On the other hand, in the determination of S182, if the third change flag is "ON", it is determined that the third normal symbol is changing (S182: YES), and the third normal symbol change time counter stored in S196 4 ms is subtracted from the value of (S201). Next, based on the value of the third ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter, it is determined whether the fluctuation time of the third ordinary symbol has elapsed (S202). If the value of the third ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is not "0", it is determined that the fluctuation time of the third ordinary symbol has not yet passed (S202: NO), and the fluctuation of the third ordinary symbol is continued, The processing returns to the main processing.

  If the value of the third ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is "0", it is judged that the fluctuation time of the third ordinary symbol has passed (S202: YES), and the fluctuation of the third ordinary symbol is stopped. The third ordinary symbol stop command is generated (S203) and stored in the RAM 52. The third ordinary symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 stops the variation of the third normal symbol. Next, "0" indicating that the third normal symbol is not changing is stored in the third change flag and turned "OFF" (S205).

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the third common hit determination performed in S193 is the third common hit (S206). When the result of the third ordinary hit determination is the release (S206: NO), the process returns to the main process. When the result of the third normal hit determination is the third normal hit (S206: YES), the third normal hit in-game flag is set to "ON" (S209). The processing returns to the main processing.

  With reference to FIG. 12, the details of the third ordinary motor-operated part processing (S17, see FIG. 6) will be described. When the third ordinary electric role processing is started, it is determined whether the third ordinary hit is in progress or not (S211). If the third normal winning game flag is "OFF", it is determined that the third normal hitting is not in progress (S211: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the third ordinary winning game flag is "ON", it is determined that the third ordinary hitting game is in progress (S211: YES), and control relating to the third ordinary winning game is performed. First, it is determined whether the third charge chew 14 is open (S213). If the third release flag is "OFF", it is determined that the third charge chew 14 is closing (S213: NO), and a third charge chew release command for releasing the third charge chew 14 is generated. And stored in the RAM 52 (S231). The third power control command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The third electric chew solenoid 66 that has received the third electric chew open command via the relay substrate 47 opens the opening / closing member 141 of the third electric chew 14. Next, the third opening time is stored in the third opening time counter (S232). Next, the third release flag is set to "ON" (S233), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the third open flag is "ON", it is determined that the third electric chew 14 is in the open state (S213: YES), and processing of the gaming ball that has won the third electric chew 14, and the third A process is performed to close the electric chew 14. First, it is determined whether the third opening time has elapsed (S215). If the value of the third opening time counter stored in S232 is not "0", it is determined that the third opening time has not yet elapsed (S215: NO), and the gaming ball wins to the third electric chow 14 It is judged whether it has been done (S216). If the flag corresponding to the third electric chow switch 73 is "OFF", it is determined that the gaming ball has not won the third electric chow 14 (S216: NO), and the process is determined at S219. Transition to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the third electric chow switch 73 is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has won the third electric chow 14 (S216: YES). For this reason, "1" is added to the third winning ball number counter of the RAM 52 for counting the third winning ball number which is the number of gaming balls having won the third electric chow 14 (S218). Next, it is determined whether the third winning ball number is "4" or more (S219). If the third winning ball number is less than "4" (S219: NO), since the third power chew 14 is continuously opened, the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the third winning ball number is "4" or more (S219: YES), or if the third opening time has elapsed (S215: YES), the third electric chew close command for closing the third electric chew 14 is It is generated (S221) and stored in the RAM 52. The third power-up closing command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The third electric chew solenoid 66 that has received the third electric chew open command via the relay substrate 47 closes the open / close member 141 of the third electric chew 14. Next, "0" is stored in the third opening flag and turned "OFF" (S222), and "0" is stored in the third ordinary hit gaming flag and turned "OFF" (S223). The processing returns to the main processing.

  The details of the fourth ordinary symbol processing (S20, see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. When the fourth normal symbol processing is started, it is determined whether the gaming ball has won the third electric chow 14 (S241). If the flag corresponding to the third electric chow switch 73 is "OFF", it is determined that the gaming ball has not won the third electric chow 14 (S241: NO), and the process is determined at S251. Transition to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the third electric chow switch 73 is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has won the third electric chow 14 (S241: YES), and the fourth holding ball number is " It is judged whether it is 4 "(S242). If the fourth holding ball number is "4" (S242: YES), the fourth holding ball number has reached the maximum third holding ball number, so the process proceeds to the determination of S251.

  If the fourth holding ball number is not "4" (S242: NO), "1" is added to the fourth holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 (S243). Next, a fourth random number is obtained and stored in the storage area with the smallest number among the empty storage areas in the fourth common winning relation information area (S245). The processing shifts to the determination of S251.

  Next, it is determined whether all electric chews are inoperative (S251). If any one of the first to fourth normal hit flags is "ON", it is determined that any electric power is in operation (S251: NO), and the process returns to the main process. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 does not measure the fluctuation time of the fourth ordinary symbol during the opening of any electric chew.

  If all of the first to fourth ordinary hitting flags are "OFF", it is judged that all electric chew is inoperative (S251: YES), and whether the fourth ordinary symbol is fluctuating It is determined (S252). If the fourth change flag is "OFF", it is determined that the fourth normal symbol is not changing (S252: NO), whether the fourth holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is "1" or more It is determined (S259). When the fourth holding ball number is "1" or more (S259: YES), the fourth holding ball number stored in the RAM 52 is decremented by "1" (S261). The determination area of the fourth common hit relation information storage area is shifted to the storage area of the next number (S262).

The fourth common hit determination table is referred to, and it is determined whether the fourth per random number stored in the determination area shifted in S262 corresponds to "the fourth common hit" or "off". As a result, the fourth ordinary hit determination based on the undecided fourth hit random number stored in the RAM 52 is performed in the order in which the fourth hit random number is stored. In the present embodiment, in the fourth ordinary hitting judgment, it is judged as the fourth ordinary hitting with the fourth ordinary hitting probability (100%).

  Next, a fourth ordinary symbol variation start command for starting variation of the fourth ordinary symbol is generated (S265) and stored in the RAM 52. The fourth normal symbol variation start command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 starts the variation of the fourth normal symbol. Next, the variation time (2 seconds in this embodiment) of the predetermined fourth ordinary symbol is stored in the fourth ordinary symbol variation time counter (S266). “1” indicating that the fourth ordinary symbol is changing is stored in the fourth changing flag and turned “ON” (S268), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the fourth change flag is "ON" in the determination of S252, it is determined that the fourth normal symbol is changing (S252: YES), and the fourth normal symbol variation time counter stored in S266 4 ms is subtracted from the value of (S281). Next, based on the value of the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter, it is determined whether the fluctuation time of the fourth ordinary symbol has elapsed (S282). If the value of the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is not "0", it is judged that the fluctuation time of the fourth ordinary symbol has not yet passed (S282: NO), and the fluctuation of the fourth ordinary symbol is continued, The processing returns to the main processing.

  If the value of the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuation time counter is "0", it is determined that the fluctuation time of the fourth ordinary symbol has elapsed (S282: YES), and the fourth ordinary symbol is stopped for fluctuation. The fourth normal symbol stop command is generated (S 283) and stored in the RAM 52. The fourth ordinary symbol stop command is transmitted to the symbol display unit 24 via the relay board 47 by the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The symbol display unit 24 stops the variation of the fourth normal symbol. Next, “0” indicating that the fourth ordinary symbol is not changing is stored in the fourth changing flag and turned “OFF” (S284).

  Next, it is determined whether the result of the fourth ordinary hitting determination performed in S263 is the fourth ordinary award (S285). If the result of the fourth ordinary hit determination is a release (S285: NO), the process returns to the main process. If the result of the fourth ordinary hitting judgment is the fourth ordinary hitting (S285: YES), the fourth ordinary hitting in-game flag is set to "ON" (S286). The processing returns to the main processing.

  Moreover, in the determination of S259, when the fourth holding ball number is "0" (S259: NO), since there is no fourth holding ball for which the fourth ordinary hitting judgment has not been made yet, a series of fourth Normal hit game is over. When a series of fourth ordinary hit games end, the jackpot game may end, and in this case, it is necessary to perform processing to end the jackpot game. Therefore, first, it is determined whether a jackpot game is in progress (S271). If the jackpot gaming state flag is "OFF", it is determined that the jackpot game is not in progress (S271: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the jackpot gaming state flag is "ON", it is determined that a jackpot game is in progress (S271: YES), and it is determined whether the fourth ordinary hitting game has ended (S272). If the fourth ordinary winning game flag is "ON", it is determined that the fourth ordinary hitting game has not ended (S272: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the fourth ordinary winning game flag is "OFF", it is determined that the fourth ordinary hitting game is over (S272: YES), and it is determined whether the third holding ball number is "1" or more (S273). When the third holding ball number is "1" or more, there is a third holding ball which has not yet been subjected to the third ordinary hitting determination. In this case, if it is determined at this point in time that the series of fourth ordinary hitting games is only ended and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games is ended and the third ordinary hitting judgment determines that it is the third ordinary winning, Three common games may be played. In response to the game ball winning in the third electric chow 14 opened in the third ordinary hit game, a series of fourth ordinary hit games may be newly played. Therefore, when the third holding ball number is “1” or more (S 273: YES), since the jackpot game is not finished, the processing returns to the main processing.

  On the other hand, when the third holding ball number is "0" (S273: NO), it is determined whether the second holding ball number is "1" or more (S275). Even if the third number of holding balls is “0”, if the second number of holding balls is “1” or more, there is still a second holding ball for which the second normal hit determination has not been made. After that, if it is determined that the second ordinary hit is determined to be the second ordinary hit, a second ordinary hit game may be played. The third ordinary hit game may be newly played upon the game ball winning in the second electric chow 13 opened in the second ordinary hit game. When the third ordinary hit game is played, a fourth ordinary hit game may be newly played. Therefore, when the second holding ball number is "1" or more (S275: YES), since the jackpot game is not finished, the processing returns to the main processing.

  On the other hand, when the second holding ball number is "0" (S275: NO), a series of fourth ordinary hitting games are over, and the second ordinary hitting judgment and the third ordinary hitting judgment are not yet performed. Since there is no ball and third holding ball, the jackpot game ends. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state flag is "OFF" (S276). Thereafter, the processing returns to the main processing.

  The details of the fourth ordinary electric power symbol processing (S19, see FIG. 6) will be described with reference to FIG. When the fourth ordinary electric role processing is started, it is determined whether or not the fourth ordinary hit is in progress (S291). If the fourth ordinary winning game flag is "OFF", it is determined that the fourth ordinary hitting game is not in progress (S291: NO), and the processing returns to the main processing.

  If the fourth ordinary hit in-game flag is "ON", it is determined that the fourth ordinary hit is in progress (S291: YES), and control relating to the fourth ordinary hit is performed. First, it is determined whether the fourth electric chew 15 is open (S293). If the fourth open flag is "OFF", it is determined that the fourth electric chew 15 is not open (S293: NO), and a fourth electric chew open command for opening the fourth electric chew 15 is generated. (S311), stored in the RAM 52. The fourth electric chow open command is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The fourth electric chew solenoid 67 that has received the fourth electric chew open command via the relay substrate 47 opens the opening / closing member 151 of the fourth electric chew 15. Next, the fourth open time is stored in the fourth open time counter (S312). Next, the fourth release flag is set to "ON" (S313), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if the fourth open flag is "ON", it is determined that the fourth electric chew 15 is in the open state (S293: YES), and the processing of the gaming ball won the fourth electric chew 15, and the fourth A process for closing the electric tube 15 is performed. First, it is determined whether the fourth opening time has elapsed (S295). If the value of the fourth opening time counter stored in the process of S312 is not "0", it is determined that the fourth opening time has not yet elapsed (S295: NO), and the fourth ball 14 to gaming ball It is determined whether or not the player has won a prize (S296). If the flag corresponding to the fourth electric chew switch 74 is "OFF", it is determined that the gaming ball has not won in the fourth electric chew 15 (S296: NO), and the process is determined at S299. Transition to

  On the other hand, when the flag corresponding to the fourth electric chew switch 74 is "ON", it is determined that the gaming ball has won the fourth electric chew 15 (S296: YES). For this reason, "1" is added to the fourth winning ball number counter of the RAM 52 for counting the fourth winning number which is the number of gaming balls that have won the fourth electric chew 15 (S298). Next, it is determined whether the fourth winning ball number is "7" or more (S299). If the fourth winning number is less than "7" (S299: NO), the fourth power chew 15 is continuously released, and the processing returns to the main processing.

  When the fourth winning ball number is "7" or more (S299: YES), or when the fourth opening time has elapsed (S295: YES), the fourth electric chew closed for closing the fourth electric chew 15. A command is generated (S301). The generated fourth power close command is stored in the RAM 52, and is transmitted to the relay board 47 in the command output process (S10, see FIG. 6) of the main process to be executed next time. The fourth electric chew solenoid 67 that has received the fourth electric chew close command via the relay substrate 47 closes the open / close member 151 of the fourth electric chew 15. Next, "0" is stored in the fourth open flag and turned "OFF" (S302), and "1" is stored in the fourth operation end flag and turned ON (S303). The processing returns to the main processing.

  With reference to FIGS. 15 to 17, the flow of the jackpot game performed by the pachinko machine 1 being determined to be the first common hit by the first common hit determination will be described. FIG. 15 to FIG. 17 show an example of the basic symbols of the normal symbol and each electric chow from the start of the jackpot game to the end thereof in order.

  The basic operation in the case where the jackpot game is started when the jackpot game is determined to be successful in the first ordinary hit will be described with reference to “(1) First ordinary hit determination in FIG. Before the jackpot game is started, the game proceeds by hitting the left. The game ball hit to the left can pass through the gate 11. When the gaming ball passes through the gate 11, the first holding ball (first random number) is stored up to the maximum first holding ball number. When the first holding ball is stored, the first ordinary hit determination is performed on the first random number shifted to the determination area. In the first ordinary hit determination, it is determined whether the first ordinary hit is based on the first random number. In the first common hit determination, it is determined to be the first common hit with the first common hit probability (about 1/250 in the present embodiment). When the first ordinary hit judgment is made, the first ordinary symbol starts to change. In synchronization with the variation of the first ordinary symbol, the notification effect is performed by the display screen 28 and the like.

  If it is determined that the first ordinary hit is determined in the first ordinary hit determination, the first ordinary hit game in which the first electric chew 12 is opened is performed. FIG. 15 shows the case where the first variation of the first normal symbol is a falling variation, and the second variation of the first normal symbol is a hitting variation. The first electric chew 12 is released after the first ordinary symbol has hit and finished fluctuating. When the game ball wins a prize in the opened first electric tube 12, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of the game balls that have won the prize. In order to win the game ball in the first electric chow 12, the player proceeds with the game after the end of the fluctuation of the first ordinary symbol by right-handling. Once the first electric chow 12 has been opened, it is closed when any of the conditions of the first opening time and the winning of four game balls is satisfied. In addition, the first ordinary symbol does not change during the first ordinary hit game.

  The first electric chew 12 is a winning opening for acquiring a game ball and is also an operation opening of the second ordinary symbol. When the gaming ball wins the first electric chow 12, the second holding ball is stored up to the maximum second holding ball number. Here, it is assumed that four gaming balls win the first electric chow 12 and four second holding balls, which is the maximum second holding ball number, are stored. As described above, the variation priority of the first ordinary symbol is the lowest among the ordinary symbols. Therefore, thereafter, as long as one of the second to fourth holding ball numbers is “1” or more, the first ordinary hitting determination is not performed even if the first holding ball number is “1” or more. , The first ordinary symbol does not start to change. Also, even if the game ball passes the gate 11 anew while the first holding ball number is "0", as long as any of the second to fourth holding ball numbers is "1" or more The first ordinary symbol does not start to change, and the first ordinary hit judgment is not made. In this manner, the pachinko machine 1 performs the second ordinary hit game over the first normal hit game while keeping the first holding ball stored without digesting. For example, when three second holding balls are stored at the end of the first normal winning game, the subsequent jackpot game proceeds with the three first holding balls being held.

  When the first ordinary winning game is over, the stored second holding ball (second random number) is shifted to the determination area, and the second ordinary hitting determination is performed. In the second ordinary hit determination, it is determined whether it is the second ordinary hit based on the second random number. In the second normal hit determination, it is determined that the second normal hit is made with the second normal hit probability (100% in the present embodiment). When the second ordinary hit judgment is made, the second ordinary symbol starts to change. Thus, the second ordinary symbol fluctuates in preference to the first ordinary symbol. In the present embodiment, since the maximum second holding ball number is "4", the second normal hit determination is performed up to four times in response to the first normal hit game being played once, and the second normal hit is performed. The game is also played up to 4 times. In addition, during the second normal hit game, the second normal symbol does not change. Of the four second random numbers stored by the four game balls winning in the first electric chew 12, the first second normal hit determination is performed on the first second random number .

  If it is determined in the second ordinary hit determination that the second ordinary hit is determined, the second ordinary hit game in which the second electric chow 13 is opened is performed after the end of the second ordinary symbol hit variation. When the gaming ball has won the second electric chow 13 which has been opened, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out according to the number of the winning game balls. Once open, the second electric chow 13 is closed when either of the second open time lapse and the winning of four game balls is satisfied. In addition, during the second normal hit game, the second normal symbol does not change. In FIG. 15, it is assumed that four gaming balls have won in the second electric chow 13 opened in the second ordinary hit game.

  The second electric chew 13 is a winning opening for acquiring a game ball and is also an operation opening of the third ordinary symbol. When the gaming ball wins the second electric chow 13, the third holding ball is stored up to the maximum third holding ball number. Here, it is assumed that four gaming balls win the second electric chow 13, and four third holding balls, which is the maximum third holding ball number, are stored. As described above, the variation priority of the second ordinary symbol is lower than the variation priority of the third ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol. Therefore, thereafter, as long as the third holding ball number or the fourth holding ball number is “1” or more, the second normal hitting determination is not performed even if the second holding ball number is “1” or more. , The second ordinary symbol does not start to change. In this manner, the pachinko machine 1 performs the third ordinary hit game over the second normal hit game while keeping the second holding ball stored without digesting.

  When the second ordinary hitting game is over, the stored third holding ball (third random number) is shifted to the judgment area, and the third ordinary hitting judgment is made. In the third ordinary hit determination, it is determined based on the third random number whether it is the third ordinary hit. In the third common hit determination, the third common hit is determined with the third common hit probability (100% in the present embodiment). When the third ordinary hitting judgment is made, the third ordinary symbol starts to change. Thus, the third ordinary symbol fluctuates in preference to the second ordinary symbol. In the present embodiment, since the maximum third holding ball number is “4”, the third ordinary hitting determination is performed up to four times in response to the second ordinary hitting game being played once, and the third ordinary hitting is performed. The game is also played up to 4 times. In addition, during the third ordinary hit game, the third ordinary symbol does not change.

  Of the four third random numbers stored by the four game balls in the second electric chew 17, the first third common hit determination is performed on the first third random number . If it is determined that the third ordinary hit is determined in the third ordinary hit determination, the third ordinary hit game in which the third electric chow 14 is opened is performed after the end of the third ordinary symbol hitting variation. When the gaming ball has won a prize in the open third electric chow 14, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out according to the number of the winning gaming balls. Once the third electric chow 14 is opened, it is closed when the third open time elapses and any of the four game ball wins are satisfied. In addition, the third ordinary symbol does not change during the third ordinary hit game. In FIG. 15, it is assumed that four gaming balls have won in the third electric chow 14 opened in the third ordinary hit game. In the present embodiment, the third opening time is 2 seconds.

  The third electric chow 14 is a winning opening for acquiring a game ball and is also an operation opening of the fourth ordinary symbol. When the gaming ball wins the third ball 14, the fourth holding ball is stored up to the maximum fourth holding ball number. Here, it is assumed that four gaming balls have won in the third electric chow 14, and four fourth holding balls, which are the maximum fourth holding ball number, are stored. As described above, the variation priority of the third common symbol is lower than the variation priority of the fourth common symbol. Therefore, thereafter, as long as the fourth holding ball number is “1” or more, even if the third holding ball number is “1” or more, the third normal hitting determination is not performed and is held, and the third normal symbol is It does not start fluctuation. In this manner, the pachinko machine 1 performs the fourth ordinary hit game over the third ordinary hit game while keeping the third holding ball stored without digesting it. That is, the pachinko machine 1 has a second ordinary hit game than the first ordinary hit game, a third ordinary hit game than the second ordinary hit game, and a fourth ordinary hit game than the third ordinary hit game. Prioritize.

  When the third ordinary hitting game is over, the stored fourth holding ball (fourth random number) is shifted to the judgment area, and the fourth ordinary hitting judgment is made. In the fourth ordinary hit determination, it is determined whether the fourth ordinary hit is based on the fourth random number. In the fourth common hit determination, it is determined that the fourth common hit is based on the fourth common hit probability (100% in the present embodiment). When the fourth ordinary hit judgment is made, the fourth ordinary symbol starts to change. Thus, the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuates in preference to the third ordinary symbol. In the present embodiment, since the maximum fourth reserved ball number is “4”, the fourth ordinary hit determination is performed up to four times in response to one third ordinary hit game being played, and the fourth ordinary hit The game is also played up to 4 times. In addition, the fourth ordinary symbol does not change during the fourth ordinary hit game. The fourth ordinary hit game played up to four times in succession corresponds to a series of fourth ordinary hit games.

  The variation priorities of the first ordinary symbol, the second ordinary symbol and the third ordinary symbol are lower than the variation priorities of the fourth ordinary symbol. Therefore, when the first fourth ordinary hit game is over, the first ordinary symbol, the second ordinary symbol and the third ordinary symbol stand by without starting to change, and the fourth ordinary symbol is the first ordinary symbol, the second ordinary It fluctuates prior to the symbol and the third ordinary symbol. For this reason, after the end of the first fourth ordinary hit game, the second fourth random number of the four fourth random numbers stored by the fourth game ball winning in the third electric chew 14 For the second time, the fourth ordinary hit determination is performed. When it is determined in the fourth ordinary hit determination that the fourth ordinary hit is made, the fourth ordinary hit game is played. From then on, the first ordinary symbol, the second ordinary symbol and the third ordinary symbol do not change until the fourth holding ball number becomes "0", and the fourth ordinary hitting judgment, the fourth ordinary symbol fluctuation and the fourth The game is usually played repeatedly. In this manner, the fourth ordinary hit game is continuously performed, whereby a series of fourth ordinary hit games are performed.

  In addition, a predetermined | prescribed interval is provided after the end of the last 4th regular hit included in a series of 4th regular hit games. This interval is provided in consideration of the time required for the game ball that has won the fourth electric chew 15 to be discharged to the outside from the fourth electric chew 15. In this embodiment, an interval of 2 seconds is provided. Is provided. The duration of the interval is also considered during operation of the fourth power tube 15. Therefore, also in a period (period indicated by "*" in FIG. 15) from the end of the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol after the fourth holding ball number becomes "0" and the fourth variation of the fourth ordinary symbol ends. The third ordinary symbol does not start to change. For this reason, when the game ball wins in the third electric chow 14 opened in the third ordinary hit game, after a series of fourth ordinary hits are performed from the time when the opening of the third electric chow 14 is completed, " During the period indicated by "*" (period indicated by "*" in FIG. 15), the third ordinary symbol waits without starting to change. In the following series of charts relating to the fourth ordinary hit game, the description of the period indicated by “☆” is omitted.

  At the end of the first series of fourth ordinary hits, the fourth holding ball number is "0". At this time, the second holding ball number and the third holding ball number are both "3". The variation priority of the third ordinary symbol is higher than the variation priority of the second ordinary symbol. Therefore, when the series of the fourth ordinary hit game is ended, the third ordinary symbol having the highest variation priority next to the fourth ordinary symbol can start to fluctuate. For this reason, when the first series of the fourth ordinary hit game is over, it is 2 after the first hit game is started for the third random number corresponding to the game ball that has won the second game in the second electric chew 13. The third regular hit determination is performed, and the third regular symbol fluctuates. If it is determined that the third ordinary hit is determined in the third ordinary hit determination, the third ordinary hit game is performed after the end of the variation of the third ordinary symbol. A maximum of four game balls can be won in the third electric chow 14 opened in the third ordinary hit game. After the end of the third ordinary hit game, the fourth ordinary hit determination and the fourth ordinary hit game are performed the number of times according to the number of gaming balls that have won the third electric chew 14, a series of fourth ordinary hit A game is played.

  Thus, when the pachinko machine 1 stores the second holding ball by the first ordinary hit game, based on the stored second random number, one second ordinary hit judgment and one second ordinary hit are performed. At first we play a game. The pachinko machine 1 stores the third holding ball by the second ordinary hit game. Thereafter, the pachinko machine 1 preserves the second holding ball without digesting it and stores it, and performs one third ordinary hitting determination and one third ordinary hitting game based on the stored third random number. . The pachinko machine 1 stores the fourth holding ball by the third ordinary hit game. Thereafter, the pachinko machine 1 saves the second holding ball and the third holding ball without digesting, and repeats the fourth ordinary hitting judgment and the fourth ordinary hitting game four times to repeat the series of fourth ordinary Play a hit game. After that, every time the series of fourth ordinary hitting games is over, a third ordinary hitting determination is newly performed. Thus, the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games are alternately repeated until the third holding ball number becomes “0”.

  In addition, after the third number of holding balls becomes “0”, the second normal hitting determination is performed on the stored second holding balls. As a result of the second ordinary hitting determination, when the second ordinary hitting game is performed, the third holding ball can be stored, so the third ordinary hitting game and the series of the fourth ordinary hitting games are repeated. Such interlocking of the electric chow is performed until the second holding ball number becomes "0". In this way, after the pachinko machine 1 opens the second electric chew 13, the third electric chew 14 and the fourth electric chew 15 a maximum number of times in the jackpot game, the jackpot game ends and the first ordinary hit judgment It can be performed. That is, the pachinko machine 1 can guarantee the number of winning balls paid out in the jackpot game to the maximum.

  Referring to “(2) in the jackpot game (including the case where the game ball does not win the second electric chew 13 opened in the second ordinary hit game)” shown in FIG. 16, the game ball wins the second electric chew 13 The example of the basic operation in the case of not having a normal symbol and each electric chow is demonstrated in order. FIG. 16 is a continuation of the jackpot game started as shown in FIG. 15, and the game ball is played on the second electric chew 13 which is opened in the second ordinary hit game performed the second time after the jackpot game is started Indicates the case of not doing. In addition, when the game ball does not win the second electric chow 13 during the big hit game, for example, when the player interrupts the firing of the game ball for some reason during the big hit game, or the second electric chew 13 is aimed Even though it is a game that should be hit to the right, there are cases where the game is advanced by hitting left.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the third holding ball number becomes “0” by the third ordinary hitting game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games being alternately repeated four times, and thus stored. The second normal hit determination is performed for the second holding ball. In the present embodiment, since it is determined that the second ordinary hit is made with a probability of 100% in the second ordinary hit determination, the second electric chew 13 is released after the second ordinary symbol has finished fluctuating. When the gaming ball does not win in the opened second electric chow 13, the third holding ball is not stored. Therefore, at the end of the second normal hit game, the third holding ball number remains "0".

  In the game machine of the conventional general electronic combination type which does not set a change priority between a plurality of normal symbols, in order to operate a plurality of electric chow in a predetermined order, the fluctuation time of the normal symbols may be relatively long. is there. For example, in order to realize the game specification of pachinko machine 1 with the game machine of the conventional general electronic combination type, the fluctuation time of the second ordinary symbol, the third ordinary hitting game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are alternately repeated. It may be more than four hours. In this case, the second ordinary symbol fluctuates again after the repetition of the third ordinary winning game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games is over. However, in this case, if the game ball does not win in the second electric chew 13, the third ordinary hitting game and the series of the fourth ordinary hitting game are not repeated during the fluctuation of the second ordinary symbol . Because of this, during the second normal symbol fluctuation is not open any electric chew, until the second normal symbol fluctuation is finished, the jackpot game is extended as if the jackpot game was suspended It will

  In this respect, in the pachinko machine 1, when the game ball does not win the second electric chew 13 in the second ordinary hit game, the third reserved ball number is "0", so the second ordinary symbol is immediately It is variable. For this reason, immediately after the end of the second ordinary hitting game, the third ordinary hitting judgment is performed for the second holding ball stored next, and the second ordinary symbol fluctuates. When the variation of the second ordinary symbol is finished, a second ordinary hit game is played. As described above, even if the game ball does not win the second electric chew 13 in the second ordinary hit game for some reason, the jackpot game does not extend. When the game ball wins the second electric chew 13 in the third second normal hit game, after the end of the second normal hit game, the third normal hit game and a series of times according to the number of third holding balls The fourth ordinary hit game is played repeatedly.

  In FIG. 16, the case where the gaming ball that has won the second electric chow 13 that has been opened is “0” has been described. In addition, when the game ball does not win in the third electric chow 14 opened during the jackpot game, the fourth holding ball number is “0” after the opening of the third electric chow 14, so If the number of balls in three balls is "1" or more, the third ordinary symbol can start to change. For this reason, after completion | finish of open | release of the 3rd electric chow 14, a 3rd common hitting determination is performed immediately, and a 3rd common symbol fluctuates. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 does not extend the jackpot game even when the game ball does not win the third electric chow 14 and a series of fourth ordinary hit games are not performed. Thus, even if the gaming ball does not win the second electric chow 13 and the third electric chow 14 opened during the jackpot game, the pachinko machine 1 rapidly changes the normal symbol to be changed next It is possible to start and to continue the jackpot game smoothly.

  Providing a variation priority to each ordinary symbol extends the jackpot game even when only the number of game balls less than the maximum number of holding balls has been won in the second electric chow 13 or the third electric chow 14 which has been opened. It is effective in order not to let it go. For example, if the number of gaming balls that have won in the opened second electric chow 13 is "2", the third number of holding balls will be "2", so the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games Is repeated twice. Thereafter, since both the third holding ball number and the fourth holding ball number are “0”, when the second holding ball number is “1” or more, the second normal symbol can start to fluctuate. For this reason, after the end of the series of fourth ordinary hitting games, the second ordinary hitting determination is performed immediately, and the second ordinary symbols fluctuate. In addition, when only the number of game balls that did not meet the maximum number of balls held in the third electric chow 14 has been won, a series of the fourth ordinary hit game consisting of the fourth ordinary hit game is normally performed four times. Composed by 3 or less fourth ordinary hit games. In this case, since the fourth holding ball count at the end of the series of fourth ordinary hits is “0”, the third ordinary symbol changes immediately after the end of the series of fourth ordinary hits. It can start. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 can provide the player with a smooth, non-proliferating jackpot game. In addition, the fluctuation time of the second ordinary symbol, the third ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary symbol can be arbitrarily set without considering the open time of the electric chow, etc., so the design burden on the pachinko machine 1 is reduced. Ru.

  With reference to “(3) jackpot game end → first ordinary hit judgment (reserved series)” shown in FIG. 17, an example of a basic symbol and a basic operation of each electric chow when the jackpot game is ended will be described in order. FIG. 17 is a continuation of the jackpot game progressed as shown in FIG. 16, and when the jackpot game is over after the last second ordinary hit game is performed in the jackpot game, and after the jackpot game is over, the hold string is held Indicates when a game will occur.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the fourth second regular hit determination is performed for the last one second holding ball stored. When the second ordinary hit judgment is made, the second ordinary symbol fluctuates. At this point in time, the second holding ball number is "0". In the present embodiment, since it is determined that the second ordinary hit is made with a probability of 100% in the second ordinary hit determination, the second electric chew 13 is released after the second ordinary symbol has finished fluctuating. It is assumed that four game balls have won in the opened second electric chow 13. In this case, the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games are alternately repeated four times. When the final series of the fourth ordinary hit game is over, the third and fourth holding ball numbers become “0”, and the jackpot game ends.

  When the jackpot game is over and the second holding ball number, the third holding ball number and the fourth holding ball number become “0”, the first ordinary symbol becomes variable. For this reason, the first ordinary hit determination is performed after the end of the jackpot game with respect to the first holding ball (remaining hold) which has been kept unchanged during the jackpot game, and the first ordinary symbol fluctuates. In the pachinko machine 1, the first ordinary hitting judgment is performed with the first ordinary hitting probability (about 1/250). When it is determined in the first ordinary hit determination based on the remaining reserve that the first ordinary hit is judged, the first ordinary hit game is performed, and the jackpot game starts again. In this manner, the pachinko machine 1 prevents the first ordinary hit game from being played during the jackpot game by not performing the variation of the first ordinary symbol based on the first holding ball during the jackpot game. ing.

  Temporarily, it is assumed that the fluctuation priority with respect to other ordinary symbols is not determined in the first ordinary symbol, and the first ordinary hit game is played during the jackpot game. In this case, the second holding ball is stored up to the maximum second holding ball number by the game ball winning in the first electric chew 12 opened in the first ordinary hit game. The second holding balls newly stored at this time have different numbers depending on the progress of the jackpot game. And, the number of times corresponding to the number of the second storage balls to be additionally stored, one second normal hit game, four third normal hit games and a series of four fourth normal hit games are repeated, It can be done. In this way, the number of times of opening of the electric chew additionally made (over) to the on-going jackpot game varies depending on the number of additionally stored second holding balls. Therefore, if it is determined that the first ordinary hit is determined by the first ordinary hit determination, the number of prize balls to be paid out to the player fluctuates depending on the degree of progress of the jackpot game.

  The pachinko machine 1 sets the variation priority of the first ordinary symbol to the lowest rank with respect to the other ordinary symbols, and when the jackpot game is started, the period until the jackpot is over Do not change the first ordinary pattern. And, by enabling the start of fluctuation of the first ordinary symbol after the end of the jackpot game, it is possible to perform the first ordinary hit judgment on the remaining reserve after all the interlocking of the electric tune in the jackpot game is finished. Therefore, when it is determined that the first ordinary hit is determined to be the first ordinary hit based on the remaining suspension, the pachinko machine 1 can start a new jackpot game. In this case, the game is executed from the state where the number of second holding balls, the number of third holding balls and the number of fourth holding balls are “0”. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can store the number of holding balls equal to the maximum number of holding balls by having the game ball win a prize in each electric chew that opens in the hold-in-one hit game. For this reason, the number of prize balls paid out to the player in connection with the hold series game is the number of prize balls to be paid out to the player in conjunction with the electric chow performed on top of the ongoing jackpot game. It tends to be more than a number. In this way, the pachinko machine 1 can guarantee the number of prize balls paid out to the player by the jackpot game to the maximum, and can improve the player's satisfaction with the jackpot game. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 can improve the interest of the game by attracting the attention of the player as to whether or not the hold-on hit game will occur after the end of the jackpot game.

  In addition, in pachinko machine 1, fluctuation priority of the ordinary symbol such as “the fourth ordinary symbol> the third ordinary symbol> the second ordinary symbol> the first ordinary symbol” is provided, for example, the variation of the fourth ordinary symbol The priority may not be determined in relation to other ordinary symbols. That is, the variation priority of the ordinary symbol is "third ordinary symbol> second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol", and the fourth ordinary symbol is variable regardless of the number of holding balls of other ordinary symbols. It is also good. That is, the pachinko machine 1 gives priority to the second ordinary hitting game over the first ordinary hitting game, and the third ordinary hitting game over the second ordinary hitting game, and the fourth holding ball number is “1”. In the above case, the fourth normal hit game may be performed as appropriate. In this case, after the fourth movement of the third ordinary symbol is finished and the third ordinary hitting game is performed (at the time indicated by the arrow P in FIG. 17), the second holding ball number and the third holding ball number are Since it is "0", the first ordinary symbol can be varied.

  The first ordinary symbol may start fluctuating while the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are performed after the time point indicated by the arrow P and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are performed. Even in this case, it is possible to sufficiently secure the opportunity for the series of fourth ordinary hit games to be performed last in the jackpot game. In addition, when the variation of the first ordinary symbol is a hit variation, the first variation pattern of the relatively long variation time is easy to be determined, so during the first ordinary symbol variation, a series of fourth ordinary It is easy to secure time to execute the game. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1, the variation priority of the ordinary symbol is "third ordinary symbol> second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol". Thereby, the pachinko machine 1 ensures that the number of prize balls paid out to the player by the jackpot game approaches the maximum even if the fourth ordinary symbol is variable regardless of the number of holding balls of the other ordinary symbols, The player's satisfaction with the jackpot game can be improved.

  The second embodiment will be described. The mechanical configuration of the pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment, a game board 200 shown in FIG. 18 is used in place of the game board 2 according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the gaming area 400 of the gaming board 200, in the gaming area 4 of the gaming board 2 according to the first embodiment, the first electric chew 12 disposed to the right of the center decoration 8 The arrangement is changed and arranged to the left of the center decoration 8. For this reason, the game ball hit to the left in the second embodiment is more likely to pass through or win the gate 11 and the first electric chew 12 than the game ball to the right. The game ball hit to the right is more likely to win the second electric chew 13, the third electric chew 14, and the fourth electric chew 15 than the game ball to the left. It is difficult for the left-handed game ball to win the second electric chow 13, the third electric chow 14, and the fourth electric chow 15. In addition, in the game area 400, since arrangement | positioning of game members other than 1st electric chow 12 is the same as that of the game area 4 which concerns on 1st embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the second embodiment, the second common hit probability is about 1/2. That is, in the second embodiment, it is determined by the second ordinary hit determination that the deviation is about 1/2 with probability, and it is determined that the hit is with about 1/2 probability. This second common hit probability is an example, and the second common hit probability may be any less than 100%.

  In such a game specification, when the game is started by hitting the left, the first ordinary hit determination is performed with the game ball passing through the gate 11 as a trigger. In the first common hit determination, it is determined that the first common hit is made with the first common hit probability (about 1/250). When it is determined in the first ordinary hit determination that the first ordinary hit is made, the first ordinary hit game in which the first electric chow 12 is opened is performed. In the second embodiment, since the first electric chow 12 is disposed to the left of the center decoration 8, the first ordinary hit game is advanced leftward.

  As in the first embodiment, since the first electric chow 12 is the operation port of the second ordinary symbol, the second ordinary hitting judgment is made when the left hitting gaming ball wins the open first electric chow 12 To be done. In the second embodiment, the determination result of either the second normal hit or the second normal hit determination is derived. When it is determined to be the second ordinary hit, the second ordinary hit game is performed. In order to win the game balls in the second electric chow 13 which is opened in the second ordinary hit game, the jackpot game after the second ordinary hit game is advanced by the right strike. On the other hand, when it is determined in the second ordinary hit determination that there is a break, the second ordinary hit game is not performed. In this case, since the gaming ball does not win the second electric chow 13, the third holding ball is not stored, and the subsequent third ordinary hitting game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are not performed. Also in the second embodiment, since the maximum second holding ball number is "4" as in the first embodiment, the second normal hit determination is performed up to four times after the first normal hit game. If it is determined that at least one of the second ordinary hitting determinations is the second ordinary hitting, the subsequent game proceeds with a right strike. In this case, the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games are repeatedly performed, whereby the player wins the game ball in the third electric chew 14 and the fourth electric chew 15 to obtain a winning ball. Can. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the second ordinary hit determinations are deviations, the jackpot game is ended without shifting to the right-handed game.

  Thus, in the pachinko machine 1 of the second embodiment, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not it is determined that the first normal hit is determined in the first normal hit determination. In addition, when it is determined to be the first normal hit, it is determined to be the second normal hit in the second normal hit determination, and it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the jackpot game continues thereafter. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 of the second embodiment is the first step whether or not the jackpot game is started, and the second electric chow 13, the third electric chow 14, and the fourth electric after clearing the first phase. The player's attention to the jackpot game can be collected by dividing into each step with the second step whether or not the chew 15 is interlocked.

  With reference to FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, in the second embodiment, the flow of the jackpot game performed by having been determined to be the first common hit by the first common hit determination will be described. FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 show an example of a basic symbol from the start of the jackpot game until the end thereof and the basic operation of each electric chow in order.

  Referring to “(11) First Normal Hit Judgment-big hit game start (there is a judgment result of deviation in the second Normal Hit Hit Judgment)” shown in FIG. The basic operation when it is started will be described. Before the jackpot game is started, the game proceeds by hitting the left. The first holding ball is stored in response to the left-handed game ball passing through the gate 11. The first normal hit determination is performed on the stored holding ball. In the first common hit determination, it is determined to be the first common hit with the first common hit probability (about 1/250 in the present embodiment). When the first ordinary hit judgment is made, the first ordinary symbol starts to change. In synchronization with the variation of the first ordinary symbol, the notification effect is performed by the display screen 28 and the like.

  If it is determined that the first ordinary hit is determined in the first ordinary hit determination, the first ordinary hit game in which the first electric chow 12 is opened is performed after the end of the first ordinary symbol hit variation. In the second embodiment, since the first electric chew 12 is disposed at a position where the game ball hit to the left can win, the player continues to strike the left and faces the first electric chew 12 to the gaming ball. To fire. In FIG. 19, it is assumed that four game balls win in the first electric chow 12 opened and the second holding ball number becomes “4”. Since the variation priority of the first ordinary symbol is the lowest among the ordinary symbols, the first ordinary symbol of the first ordinary symbol is held while the first holding ball is held until the number of second to fourth holding balls becomes "0" thereafter. The fluctuation is suppressed.

  When the first normal hit game is over, a second normal hit determination is performed on the stored second holding ball. In the second ordinary hit determination, it is determined that the first ordinary hit is made with the second ordinary hit probability (about 1/2 in the second embodiment). When the second ordinary hit judgment is made, the second ordinary symbol starts to change. In the second embodiment, the notification effect may be performed by the display screen 28 or the like in synchronization with the variation of the second normal symbol. In this case, the player's attention can be drawn also to the determination result derived in the second ordinary hit determination.

  FIG. 19 illustrates an example in which it is determined to be a loss in the first second normal hit determination. Therefore, when the first second normal collision determination is performed, out-of-range fluctuation is performed. In this case, the second normal hit game is not performed after the end of the out-of-range fluctuation. Therefore, after the end of the out-of-out fluctuation, after the out-of-shape symbol is displayed for a predetermined symbol stop time, the second ordinary hit determination is performed for the second time, and the second ordinary symbol starts to fluctuate.

  In the case of the conventional general electronic combination type game machine, the variation of the second ordinary symbol is made longer than the time during which the third ordinary winning game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are alternately repeated four times. There may be a case where the three ordinary winning games and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are alternately performed. For this reason, in the conventional gaming machine, when it is determined that the second ordinary hit is judged to be out, the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games are not performed, but the second ordinary symbol is long. The time-varying game may interrupt the jackpot game temporarily. The pachinko machine 1 of the second embodiment, like the first embodiment, enables the variation start of the second ordinary symbol when the third holding ball number and the fourth holding ball number are “0”. Therefore, when the second electric chow 13 is not released and the third holding ball is not stored, the second normal hitting determination is immediately performed for the stored second holding ball, and the second normal symbol starts to change. . Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 of the second embodiment does not interrupt the jackpot game even if it is determined that the normal hit determination performed during the jackpot game is a loss.

  FIG. 19 illustrates an example in which it is determined to be the second normal hit in the second second normal hit determination. Therefore, when the second normal hit determination is performed for the second time, the second normal hit game is performed after the end of the hit variation of the second normal symbol. In the second ordinary hit game, since the second electric chow 13 is opened, the player shoots the gaming ball with a right hit to make the second electric chow 13 win a game ball.

  In FIG. 19, it is assumed that four game balls have won in the second electric chow 13 opened in the second ordinary hit game, and the third number of holding balls becomes "4". Since the variation priority of the second ordinary symbol is lower than the fluctuation priority of the third ordinary symbol, the second holding ball is kept pending until the third and fourth number of holding balls becomes "0" thereafter. The variation of the second ordinary symbol is suppressed. That is, the pachinko machine 1 plays the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games prior to the second ordinary hit game while storing the second holding balls without digesting them.

  Then, a third ordinary hit determination is performed on the third holding ball stored along with the winning of the second electric chow 13. If it is determined that the third ordinary hit is determined in the third ordinary hit determination, the third electric chow 14 is opened in the third ordinary hit game after the end of the third ordinary symbol hitting variation. Four game balls win in the open third electric chow 14, and the fourth holding ball number becomes "4". Since the variation priority of the third ordinary symbol is lower than the variation priority of the fourth ordinary symbol, the third ordinary ball is held from then on until the fourth holding ball number becomes “0”. Variation of the symbol is suppressed. That is, the pachinko machine 1 performs the fourth ordinary hitting game with priority over the third ordinary hitting game while storing the third holding ball without digesting. Therefore, the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games are repeatedly performed the number of times (up to four times) according to the third holding ball number. The repetition of the third ordinary hit game and the series of the fourth ordinary hit game ends, and when the third and fourth number of holding balls becomes “0”, the second normal hitting per stored second holding ball A determination is made.

  Referring to "(12) jackpot game end → first ordinary hit judgment (when not being held continuously)" shown in FIG. 20, an example of a basic symbol and a basic operation of each electric chow when jackpot game is ended will be described in order Do. FIG. 20 is a continuation of the jackpot game progressed as shown in FIG. 19, and shows a case where no hold hit game occurs after the end of the jackpot game.

  In FIG. 20, it is assumed that the third second normal hit determination is performed for the second holding ball stored in the third position, and it is determined that the second holding ball has been lost. In this case, when the third second normal hit determination is performed, the outlier fluctuation is performed, and after the end of the outlier fluctuation, the second ordinary hit game is not performed. Therefore, after the end of the out-of-out fluctuation, the out-of-shape symbol is displayed for a predetermined symbol stop time, and then the fourth second normal hit determination is performed, and the second normal symbol starts to change.

  The second ordinary hitting determination for the third time is performed for the second holding ball stored in the fourth, and if it is determined as the second ordinary hitting, after the variation of the second ordinary symbol of the hitting variation, the second ordinary A hit game is played. After the end of the second ordinary winning game, the third ordinary hitting game and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are repeated up to four times. When all the repetitions of the third ordinary hit game and the series of fourth ordinary hit games are finished, the jackpot game is ended.

  When the jackpot game is over, the second holding ball number, the third holding ball number and the fourth holding ball number become “0”. For this reason, the first ordinary symbol whose variation has been suppressed during the jackpot game can be varied. Therefore, the first ordinary hit determination is performed after the end of the jackpot game with respect to the first holding ball (remaining hold) that has been kept unchanged during the jackpot game, and the first ordinary symbol fluctuates. When it is determined in the first ordinary hit determination based on the remaining reserve that the first ordinary hit is determined, the first ordinary winning game is played, and the jackpot game starts again, but FIG. 20 shows the first ordinary hit determination based on the remaining reserve Shows an example in which it is determined to be a departure. For this reason, the game is not performed per holding rake, and thereafter the game proceeds with a left strike.

  In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the variation priority of the ordinary symbol is "third ordinary symbol> second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol", and the fourth ordinary symbol is the other, It may be variable regardless of the number of holding balls of the normal symbol of. That is, the pachinko machine 1 gives priority to the second ordinary hitting game over the first ordinary hitting game, and the third ordinary hitting game over the second ordinary hitting game, and the fourth holding ball number is “1”. In the above case, the fourth normal hit game may be performed as appropriate. In this case, after the fourth change of the third ordinary symbol is completed and the third ordinary hit game is performed (at the time indicated by the arrow Q in FIG. 20), the second number of holding balls and the third number of holding balls are Since it is "0", the first ordinary symbol can be varied. The first ordinary symbol may start fluctuating while the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are played after the time point indicated by the arrow Q and the series of fourth ordinary hitting games are played. Even in this case, it is possible to sufficiently secure the opportunity for the series of fourth ordinary hit games to be performed last in the jackpot game. Therefore, the variation priority of the ordinary symbol is "third ordinary symbol> second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol", and the fourth ordinary symbol is variable regardless of the number of holding balls of other ordinary symbols. Even if it is guaranteed that the number of prize balls paid out to the player by the jackpot game approaches the maximum.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the third holding ball is stored as "1" or more, the first holding ball number and the second holding ball number are "1" or more. Also, the third ordinary hit game based on the third holding ball is performed prior to the first ordinary hit game and the second ordinary hit game. Also, when the third holding ball number is “0” and the second holding ball number is “1” or more, even if the first holding ball number is “1” or more, the second normal hit game is It is performed prior to the first ordinary hit game. That is, the variation priority of the ordinary symbol is "third ordinary symbol> second ordinary symbol> first ordinary symbol". Therefore, even if the first holding ball number or the second holding ball number is "1" or more during the jackpot game, as soon as the third holding ball is stored, the third ordinary hitting judgment is performed, and the third ordinary hitting game Is done. The third ordinary hitting judgment is performed for all the stored third holding balls, and the third ordinary hitting judgment takes priority over the first ordinary hitting judgment when the third holding sphere number becomes “0”. To be done. Here, the third holding ball is stored again by the game ball winning in the second electric chow 13 opened in the second ordinary hit game. Based on the third holding ball stored again, the third ordinary hitting judgment, the fluctuation of the third ordinary symbol and the third ordinary hitting game are performed. In this manner, the third normal hit game can be played the number of times corresponding to the second holding ball number stored in the jackpot game. After that, both the second holding ball number and the third holding ball number become “0”, and in the jackpot game started with the first ordinary hitting game, the second ordinary hitting game and the third ordinary scheduled to be executed After all the hit games are over, a new jackpot game may be played. As described above, the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment smoothly interlocks the power chew during the jackpot game even if an unusual event occurs such as when the game ball does not win the prize at the open power chew during the jackpot game. Can be done.

  In the pachinko machine 1, when the fourth holding ball is stored "1" or more, regardless of whether or not the first to third holding balls are stored, the fourth ordinary hitting determination based on the fourth holding ball, The change of the fourth ordinary symbol and the fourth ordinary hit game are performed prior to the other ordinary hit determination, the variation of the normal symbol, and the ordinary hit game. Therefore, during the jackpot game, the fourth ordinary hit game is played as soon as the fourth holding ball is stored. When the series of the fourth ordinary hitting game is over and the fourth holding ball number becomes “0”, the third ordinary hitting judgment based on the third holding ball, the fluctuation of the third ordinary symbol and the third ordinary hitting A game is played. The fourth holding ball is stored again by the game ball winning in the third electric chow 14 opened in the third ordinary hit game. A series of fourth ordinary hit games are played based on the fourth holding ball again stored. In this manner, the third normal hit game and the series of the fourth normal hit game are alternately repeated in the number according to the second holding ball number stored in the jackpot game. That is, a series of fourth normal hit games are played a number of times corresponding to the number of third holding balls stored in the jackpot game. After that, all of the second to fourth reserved ball numbers become “0”, and in the jackpot game started on the basis of the first ordinary hit game, all the second to fourth ordinary hit games scheduled to be executed have ended Later, a new jackpot game may be played. As described above, the pachinko machine 1 can smoothly interlock the electric chew during the jackpot game.

  The pachinko machine 1 can store a plurality of first holding balls up to the maximum number of first holding balls. Moreover, the pachinko machine 1 performs the fluctuation | variation of a 1st common hit determination and a 1st common symbol based on a 1st holding ball, when at least a 2nd holding ball number and a 3rd holding ball number are both "0." . Therefore, during the jackpot game, the first holding ball can be preserved, and after the jackpot game is over, the first ordinary ball can be judged and the first ordinary hit variation can be made with respect to the first reserved ball that has been preserved. . In other words, if the first holding ball stored as the remaining hold is stored, after the end of the jackpot game, the first ordinary hitting determination for the first holding ball is performed, and it is determined that the first ordinary hitting is If so, it is possible to play a game for each successive reservation. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can improve the player's sense of expectation for the hold-on hit game.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, when it is determined that the first ordinary hit is determined in the first ordinary hit determination based on the first holding ball, the first ordinary hit game is performed, and the jackpot game is started. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can draw the attention of the player as to whether or not it is determined to be the first normal hit based on the first holding ball. In addition, if it is determined that the first normal hit, the first normal hit is performed, and the first electric chew 12 is opened. In the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, since the gaming ball from which all electric chews have been fired at the right is disposed at a position where winning is possible, the player is determined to be the first ordinary hit and then the jackpot You just have to play the game right. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can provide a jackpot game that is easy for the player to understand, even though the pachinko machine 1 includes a plurality of electric chow.
