  In the lower right portion of the game board 1, indicators 8 are disposed. The display 8 has a first special display 81a for variably displaying the first special symbol (special figure 1), a second special display 81b for variably displaying the second special symbol (special figure 2), and And a common drawing indicator 82 for variably displaying a normal symbol (common drawing). In addition, the first special view hold display 83a for displaying the number of memories of the operation hold (first special view hold, special view 1 hold) of the first special view display 81a on the display group 8 and the second special view display 2nd special figure hold display 83b which displays the number of memories of operation reserve (the 2nd special figure reserve, special figure 2 reserve) of vessel 81b, and the common drawing which displays the number of storages of common drawing indicator 82 operation hold A hold indicator 84 is included.

  The variable display of the first special symbol is triggered by the winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 11 as a trigger. The variable display of the second special symbol is triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 12 as a trigger. In the following description, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol. The first special view display 81 a and the second special view display 81 b may be collectively referred to as a special view display 81. Also, the first special view hold indicator 83a and the second special view hold indicator 83b may be collectively referred to as a special view hold indicator 83.

  In the special view display 81, the special symbol (identification information) is variably displayed (variation display) and then stopped to notify the result of the lottery (special symbol lottery, big hit lottery) based on the winning on the starting opening. The special symbols (stop symbols, special symbols derived and displayed as display results of variable display) to be stopped and displayed are one special symbol selected from among a plurality of types of special symbols by special symbol lottery. When the stop symbol is a special symbol (big hit symbol) of the predetermined big hit stop mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens the first big winning opening 14 with an open pattern according to the type of the hit symbol stopped. Play a jackpot game. Moreover, when the stop symbol is a special symbol (small hit symbol) of a predetermined small hit stop mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is the second big prize in the opening pattern according to the type of the small hit symbol displayed stop. A small hit game to open the mouth 15 is performed. In addition, the opening pattern of the big winning opening in the big hit game or the small hit game will be described later.

  The first special view display 81a and the second special view display 81b are each composed of, for example, eight LEDs arranged side by side, and display a special symbol according to the result of the jackpot lottery by the lighting mode thereof . For example, in the case of winning a big hit (one of multiple types of big hit symbols), "○○ ●● ○○ ●●" (○: on, ●: off) and so on from the left 1, 2, 5 , The sixth LED is displayed to display the jackpot symbol. In addition, if you win a small hit (one of multiple types of small hit symbol), the small LED where the fifth and sixth LED from the left turned on like "● ● ● ● ○ ○ ● ●" Display the winning design. In addition, when there is a loss, a lost design in which only the LED at the rightmost side is lighted is displayed as "● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●". You may employ | adopt the aspect which makes all the LED light-extinguish as a lost design. In addition, before the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the variable display (variable display) of the special symbol is made over a predetermined fluctuation time, but the form of the variable display is, for example, each light so that light flows repeatedly from the left to the right It is the aspect that LED lights. The mode of the variable display may be such that all the LEDs blink at the same time if each LED is not displayed for stop (display in a specific mode).

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires various random numbers such as a jackpot random number for the winning of the game ball when there is a winning of the starting opening, and temporarily stores values of the various random numbers (determination information). A storage area for storing the various random numbers is referred to as a special image storage section 105. In detail, if it is a winning to the first starting opening 11, it is stored in the first special view holding storage section 105a as the first special view holding (holding of the special view 1), and if it is a winning to the second starting opening 12 For example, it is stored in the second special view reserve storage unit 105b as the second special view reserve (the special view 2 reserve). There is an upper limit to the number of special view reservations that can be stored in each special view storage unit 105, and the upper limit number (also referred to as the upper limit) in this embodiment is “4” in the first special view storage unit 105a. The special image storage unit 105 b is also “4”.

  The special view reserve stored in the special view reserve storage unit 105 is digested when the variable display of the special symbol based on the special view reserve becomes possible. The special figure reserve digest means determining the jackpot random number etc. corresponding to the special figure reserve, and executing the variable display of the special symbol for showing the determination result. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special symbol based on the winning of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 can not be made immediately after the winning, ie, the special based on other jackpot random numbers Even if there is a prize during the execution of the variable display of the symbol or during the execution of the special game (big hit game or small hit game), the jackpot lottery right for the prize may be reserved with the predetermined number as the upper limit. It can be done.

  Then, the number of such special feature reservations is displayed on the special feature reservation display 83. Specifically, the first special view hold indicator 83a is composed of four LEDs, and the second special view reserve indicator 83b is also composed of four LEDs. Each special figure reservation display 83 displays the number of special figure reservations by lighting the LEDs for the number of special figure reservations.

  The variable display of the normal symbol is triggered by the passage of the gaming ball to the gate 13. In the common pattern display 82, the result of the normal symbol lottery based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 13 is notified by displaying the normal symbol in a variable display (variable display) and then stopping the display. The normal symbols stop-displayed (a common figure stop symbol, a normal symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) are one normal symbol selected from among a plurality of types of normal symbols by normal symbol lottery. In the case where the stop-displayed normal symbol is a predetermined specified normal symbol (a normal symbol of a predetermined stop mode, ie, a normal hit symbol), the open according to the type of the stop-displayed normal hit symbol and the current gaming state An auxiliary game is performed to open the second starting opening 12 (activate the electric chew 12D) in a pattern. The opening pattern of the second start opening 12 will be described later.

  The common drawing indicator 82 is constituted of, for example, three LEDs, and displays a normal symbol according to the result of the normal symbol lottery by the lighting mode. For example, when the lottery result is a hit, a normal hit symbol is displayed. There are a plurality of types of common hit symbols in this embodiment. For example, when the player wins a hit (one of a plurality of types of hit symbols), the first and second LEDs from the left are turned on, such as "○○ ●" (○: on, ●: off) It usually displays a hit design. In addition, when the lottery result is a loss, a normal loss symbol in which both LEDs are turned off is displayed as "● ● ●". The normal symbol variation display (variable display) is performed over a predetermined variation time before the normal symbol display is stopped and displayed, but the variation display mode is, for example, an aspect in which both LEDs are alternately lit. The mode of the variable display may be such that all the LEDs blink at the same time if each LED is not displayed for stop (display in a specific mode).

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a passage of the game ball to the gate 13, acquires a normal symbol random number etc. for that passage, and temporarily stores the values of the various random numbers (information for determination) as a general drawing reserve. . A storage area for storing various random numbers is referred to as a common drawing reserve storage unit 106. The normal symbol random number is stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 106 regardless of whether it is the passage of the first gate 13L or the passage of the second gate 13R. The number of common drawing reservations that can be stored in the common drawing reservation storage unit 106 has an upper limit, and the upper limit number (also referred to as the upper limit) in the present embodiment is “4”.

  The common drawing reserve stored in the common drawing reserve storage unit 106 is digested when the variable display of the normal symbol based on the common drawing reserve becomes possible. Digestion of a common drawing reserve means to determine a normal hit random number corresponding to the common drawing reserve, and to execute variable display of a normal symbol to indicate the determination result. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the normal symbol based on the passage of the gaming ball to the gate 13 can not be performed immediately after the passage, that is, during the execution of the variable display of the normal symbol based on other common hit random numbers or Even when there is a passage of gaming balls to the gate 13 during the execution of the auxiliary game, it is possible to reserve the right of the normal winning lottery for the passage with the predetermined number as the upper limit.

  Then, the number of such common drawing reservations is displayed on the common drawing reservation display 84. The general drawing hold display 84 is composed of four LEDs. The general drawing reserve display 84 displays the number of general drawing reservations by lighting the LEDs for the number of common drawing reservations.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 changes the decorative symbols (production symbols) EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 in synchronization with the variable display (variable display) of the special symbol on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50. There is an effect pattern display area for displaying. The effect symbol display area includes, for example, three symbol display areas of "left", "middle" and "right". The left effect pattern EZ1 is displayed in the left symbol display area, the middle effect pattern EZ2 is displayed in the middle symbol display area, and the right effect pattern EZ3 is displayed in the right symbol display area. Each of the rendering symbols is, for example, composed of a plurality of symbols representing numbers from "1" to "9". The image display device 50 displays the result of the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol (that is, the result of the jackpot lottery) in an easy-to-understand manner by the combination of the left, middle and right effect symbols. In the following description, the left rendering symbol EZ1, the middle rendering symbol EZ2, and the right rendering symbol EZ3 may be collectively referred to as a rendering symbol EZ.

  For example, when the jackpot is won, the production pattern EZ is stopped and displayed with a target such as "777". In addition, if it is an off, the production pattern EZ is stopped and displayed with a loose eye such as "263". This makes it easy for the player to grasp the progress of the game.

And are stored in each small area.

  Further, an image control board 140, an accessory lamp control board 162, and an audio control circuit 161 are electrically connected to the effect control board 120. The effect control microcomputer 121 of the effect control board 120 causes the image CPU 142 of the image control board 140 to perform display control of the image display device 50 based on the command received from the game control board 100. The image RAM 144 of the image control board 140 is a memory in which image data is expanded. The image ROM 143 of the image control board 140 displays still image data and moving image data displayed on the image display device 50, more specifically, characters, items, figures, characters, numbers, symbols, background images, effect designs EZ, Image data such as the hold icon HA is stored. The image CPU 142 of the image control board 140 reads the image data from the image ROM 143 based on the command from the effect control microcomputer 121. Then, the read image data is displayed on the image display device 50.

  In addition, based on the command received from the game control board 100, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs sound control to cause the speaker 52 to output sound, music, sound effects and the like via the sound control circuit 161. Specifically, sound data such as sound output from the speaker 52 is stored in the effect ROM 123 of the effect control board 120. The sound control circuit 161 may store sound data. Alternatively, the image control board 140 may be electrically connected to the speaker 52 or the sound control circuit 161 so that the image control board 140 can perform sound control. In this case, the image control board 140 may store the acoustic data.

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs lighting control of each lamp such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 via the accessory lamp control board 162 based on the command received from the game control board 100. Specifically, the effect control microcomputer 121 uses the data stored in the effect ROM 123 to create light emission pattern data that determines the light emission mode of each lamp, and sets the light emission pattern data to the accessory lamp control board 162 Send. The accessory lamp control board 162 that has received the light emission pattern data controls the light emission of each lamp according to the light emission pattern data.

Similar to the effect button 40k, the effect control board 120 can determine whether or not the select button 42k is pressed based on the signal output from the select button detection sensor 42a.

3. Description of gaming state Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be described. The gaming state includes a normal gaming state (non-short time state) and a short time state. In the short time state, the fluctuation time shortening function of the common picture display 82 operates. The fluctuation time shortening function of the common figure display 82 is a function in which the average fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shorter than that in the non-short time state.

  The variation time of the normal symbol varies depending on the determination result of the normal symbol lottery. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires two random numbers of a normal symbol random number (per random number) and a per-common-type random number according to the passage of the gaming ball to the gate 13. The normal symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (normal symbol lottery) as to whether or not to perform an auxiliary game to operate the electric chew 12D. Normal symbol random numbers take values in the range of 0-65535. And as shown to FIG. 6 (A), if it is 1-65236, it will be determined as a normal hit, and it will be determined as loss if it is other than that. That is, in the normal symbol lottery, it is determined as a normal hit with a very high probability of 99.5%.

  In addition, the per-common drawing per-type random number is a random number for determining the type of the per-normal design. The type random number per common drawing takes a value in the range of 0 to 99. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), if there is a plurality of types of normal hitting symbol at the time of winning a normal hit, and the gaming state is non-short time state, if it is 0 to 19, non-short time normal symbol If it is judged as A, it is judged as non-time short ordinary symbol B if it is 20 to 39, it is judged as non-time short ordinary symbol C if it is 40 to 59, and it is judged as non-time regular symbol D if it is 60 to 79, If it is 80-99, it will be determined as non-time-short normal symbol E. On the other hand, if the gaming state is a time saving state, it is determined that it is a short time normal symbol A if it is 0 to 19 and it is determined that it is a short time normal symbol B if it is 20 to 39, and it is a time short normal symbol C if it is 40 to 59. If it is judged and it is 60-79, it will be judged as a time-short regular symbol D, and if it is 80-99, it will be judged as a time-short regular symbol E.

  The variation time of the normal symbol varies depending on the type of the normal hit symbol. That is, if the gaming state is the non-short time state, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), when winning the non-short time normal symbol A, the variation time is set to 4900 ms and the non-short time normal symbol B was won In the case, the fluctuation time is set to 6100 ms, the fluctuation time is set to 7100 ms when winning the non-time-short normal symbol C, and the fluctuation time is set to 7800 ms when the non-time-short normal symbol D is won, When the time-short normal symbol E is won, the fluctuation time is set to 8500 ms. In addition, when there is a loss, the fluctuation time is set to 1000 ms.

  On the other hand, if the gaming state is a time saving state, the fluctuation time is set to 1100 ms when winning the time short normal symbol A, and the fluctuation time is set to 1120 ms when the time shortening normal symbol B is won, the time short normal symbol When C is won, the fluctuation time is set to 1140 ms, when it is won for the short time normal symbol D, the fluctuation time is set to 1160 ms, and when it is won for the time short ordinary symbol E, the fluctuation time is set to 1180 ms. Ru. In the case of a loss, the fluctuation time is set to 600 ms. That is, when winning normally in the time saving state, the variation time of the normal symbol is short as compared with the case of winning in the normal hitting in the non-time-short state, regardless of the type of normal hitting symbol. Similarly, in the case of loss, in the case of loss in the time saving state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shorter than in the case of loss in the non-time short state. In addition, the stop time of the normal symbol is 500 ms regardless of the determination result of the normal symbol lottery, similarly to the non-short time state.

  Also, in the short time state, the open time extension function and the open frequency increase function of the electric chew 12D are activated. The open time extension function of the electric chow 12D is a function in which the average open time of the electric chow 12D in the auxiliary game is longer than in the non-short time state. Further, the function of increasing the number of times of opening of the electric chow 12D is a function in which the number of times of opening of the electric chow 12D in the auxiliary game is greater than that in the non-short time state. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, in the non-short time state, the total opening time is set to an extremely short time, ie, once the opening time is 32 ms. On the other hand, in the short time state, the opening time is set to 2 times 2752 ms, that is, the total opening time is set to 5504 ms. That is, when the normal winning is won in the time saving state, the total opening time of the electric chew 12D is longer and the number of times of opening is larger than when the normal hitting is won in the non-time reducing state.

  In the situation where the fluctuation time reduction function of the common picture display 82 and the open time extension function and the open frequency increase function of the electric chew 12D are activated, compared with the case where these functions are not activated, 2 The starting opening 12 is frequently opened, and the gaming ball frequently wins the second starting opening 12. As a result, the base which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls becomes high. Therefore, a state in which these functions are operating (that is, a short time state) is also referred to as a "high base state", and a non-operating state (that is, a short time state) is also referred to as a "low base state". In the high base state, it is possible to aim for a jackpot without significantly reducing the number of game balls on hand. The high base state is a state in which so-called power supply control (control to support winning of the second starting opening 12 by the power control 12D) is being executed. Therefore, the high base state is also referred to as a power supply control state. The low base state is also referred to as a non-electric support control state.

  In the time saving state, the probability variation function of the spread indicator 82 may be activated. That is, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery in the non-short time state may be set relatively low, and the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery in the short time state may be set relatively high.

  In addition, in the time saving state, not all the functions described above may be activated. That is, the operation of one or more functions among the fluctuation time shortening function of the common drawing display 82, the open time extension function of the electric chew 12D, the probability fluctuation function of the common drawing display 82, and the open frequency increasing function of the electric chute 12D. Thus, the game ball may be more easily winning in the second starting opening 12 than when the function is not activated.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the gaming state after the jackpot game is controlled to be in a time-saving state. The time saving state ends when the variable display of the special symbol of the upper limit number of times of execution (the number of times of time reduction) set according to the type of the special symbol won is executed or the jackpot game is executed.

  In the time saving state, it is possible to advance the game more advantageously if the game ball is made to enter the right gaming area 6R by right hitting. The second start port 12 is more easily opened than the non-short time state by the power supply control, and the second start port 12 is easier to win than the first start port 11. It is. Therefore, while passing the game ball to the second gate 13R which is a trigger of the normal symbol lottery, the right strike is performed in order to win the game ball to the second start opening 12. As a result, it is possible to obtain a large number of start winnings (winnings on the starting opening) rather than hitting the left. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the game is played by right-handed even during the jackpot game.

  On the other hand, in the non-time-short state, it is possible to advance the game more advantageously if the game ball is made to enter the left gaming area 6L by left hitting. Since the power support control is not executed, the power chew 12D is less likely to be released compared to the time saving state, and the winning of the first starting opening 11 is easier than the winning of the second starting opening 12 It is because Therefore, in order to win the game ball in the first starting opening 11, a left strike is performed. This makes it possible to obtain a large number of starting winnings rather than right-handed. When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is played for the first time, the gaming state after the power is turned on is the normal gaming state (non-short time state).

4. Description of jackpot and small hit In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, there are "big hit", "small hit" and "off" as a result of the jackpot lottery (special symbol lottery). In the case of "big hit", the "big hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special view display 81. In the case of "small hit", the "small hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special view display 81. In the case of "disengagement", the "losing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special view display 81.

  When the jackpot is won in the special symbol lottery, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes a "big hit game" that opens the first big winning opening 14 in an open pattern according to the type of the stopped-displayed big hit symbol. When the player wins a small hit, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes a "small hit game" which opens the second large winning opening 15 in an opening pattern according to the type of the small hit symbol displayed as a stop. Then, when the game ball enters the specific area 16 in the second large winning opening 15 during the execution of the small hitting game, the first large winning opening 14 in the opening pattern according to the type of the small hitting symbol that has been won A "jackpot game" to be opened is executed. The jackpot game executed based on the result of the special symbol lottery being a jackpot win is referred to as a "type 1 jackpot game". In addition, the jackpot game executed based on the passage to the specific area 16 is referred to as a "two-type jackpot game". In addition, the big hit game and the small hit game are collectively referred to as a special game.

  In the jackpot game, in this embodiment, a plurality of round games (unit opening game), an opening before the first round game is started (also referred to as OP), and an ending after the final round game is over (Also denoted as ED). Each round game starts with the end of the OP or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ED. The closing time (interval time) of the winning opening during the round game is included in the opening round game before the closing.

  In addition, small hitting game, in this form, the small hitting open game which opens the 2nd big winning a prize opening 15, the opening before the small hitting open game is started (interval before opening) and the small hitting open game end And an ending (after closing interval).

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires four random numbers of a big hit random number, a big hit type random number, a reach random number, and a change pattern random number according to the winning of the starting opening. The determination of the jackpot lottery is performed based on the jackpot random number, and the determination of the type of winning is performed based on the jackpot type random number. The jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0-65535. And as shown to FIG. 8 (A), if it is 10001-10256, it will be determined as a big hit. That is, in the jackpot lottery, it is determined that the jackpot has a probability of 1/256. The jackpot probability is the same whether it is the first special symbol or the second special symbol. On the other hand, in the jackpot lottery with the second special symbol, in addition to the jackpot, a small jackpot is also won. Specifically, in the case of 30001 to 12244, it is determined to be a small hit. That is, in the jackpot lottery with the second special symbol, it is determined to be a small hit with a probability of 1 / 5.82. In the case other than these, it is determined that there is a loss.

  The jackpot type random number is a random number for determining the type of special symbol when the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot or a small jackpot. The jackpot type random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), when winning a big hit in the big hit lottery with the first special symbol, if it is 0-4, it is determined to be a big hit symbol at 9 R time 4 shorts, if it is 5 to 99 It is judged that it is a jackpot symbol of 4R hour short once. In addition, if you win the big win in the big win lottery with the second special symbol, if it is 0-19, it is determined to be a big hit symbol at 16 R time 4 shorts, and if it is 20 to 59, it is determined to be a big hit symbol 9 R time 4 short, 60 If it is -99, it will be determined that it is 5R time short 4 times jackpot design. In addition, when winning a small hit in the big win lottery with the second special symbol, if it is 0-19 it will be determined as a 15 R time short 4 small small hit symbol, and if it is 20-59 it will be a 8 R time 4 short small hit symbol If it is 60-99, it will be determined that it is a small hitting symbol at 4R time minor 4 times.

  Each jackpot symbol has a different number of rounds for each type of special symbol. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, if it is 9R time 4 short jackpot symbols 9R, 4R 1 hour short jackpot symbols 4R, 16R hour 4 short jackpot symbols 16R, 5R hour 4 short jackpot symbols If it is, it will be 5R. The number of opening times of the first large winning opening 14 per 1 R is one, and the maximum opening time is 25.0 seconds. The gaming state after the jackpot game when winning each jackpot symbol is time saving state.

  On the other hand, depending on the type of jackpot symbol that has been won, the number of times set is different. The time saving number is the upper limit execution number of times of the fluctuation display of the special symbol in the time saving state. In the time reduction number, the time reduction number includes only the variation number of the special figure 1 (first special symbol) and the variation number of the special figure 2 (second special symbol). There are the number of times (the second number of short times). When the time saving state is controlled, these two types of time saving numbers are set. Specifically, if you win the big win in the big win lottery with the first special symbol, the first time reduction number is 5, the second time reduction number is 9 if 9 R time reduction 4 times big hit symbol, 4 R time reduction 1 time big hit If it is a symbol, it is 1. In addition, when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery with the second special symbol, the first time reduction number is 8 and the second time reduction number is 4 regardless of which jackpot symbol. Then, when the number of times of variation of the special symbol in the time saving state is to satisfy any of the two types of time saving, the gaming state is shifted from the time saving state to the non-time short state.

  In addition, the time saving state is a gaming state assuming that a game is performed with a right-handed game, and the variation of the second special symbol (special figure 2) based on the winning of the second starting opening 12 is the first special symbol ( It is executed prior to Special Figure 1). Therefore, among the above two types of time saving, the second time saving is likely to be the termination trigger of the time saving state. The first time reduction number is set to guarantee the variation of the special figure 2 for the specified number of times even when the variation of the special figure 1 has been executed in the time reduction state as an irregular case. For this reason, the first time reduction number is basically set to a value larger than the second time reduction number.

  In the short time state, the electric chew 12D is easy to operate, and it is easy to store the second special view reserve while the special symbol changes. Therefore, for example, when the number of time saving is set to “1”, five times of the variable display of one time variable display in the time short state and four variable displays for a maximum of four special drawing reservations are performed. It will be. That is, the jackpot lottery of the special figure 2 can be performed at least once and at most five times. In addition, when the second time reduction is set to "4", up to 8 fluctuation displays of 4 fluctuation displays in the time-short state and 4 fluctuation displays for a maximum of 4 special drawing reservations. Is done. That is, the jackpot lottery of the special figure 2 can be performed a minimum of four times and a maximum of eight times.

  Further, when the player wins a small hit as a result of the big hit lottery, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes a small hit game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened once as shown in FIG. If the game ball wins the second big winning opening 15 opened by the small hitting game and the gaming ball passes the specific area 16 in the second big winning device 15D, it will be a big hit, and so on. A big hit game (two types of big hit games) to open 1 big winning opening 14 is executed. That is, the winning of the small hitting is an opportunity of the two types of jackpots on the condition of the passage of the specific area 16 of the gaming ball, and the small hitting is included in the possibility of winning of the big hit. When the jackpot game based on the two types of jackpots is executed, the opening of the second large winning opening 15 as a small hit game corresponds to the 1R's. In addition, if there is no passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 in the small hitting game, the big hit game is not executed. In addition, during the one round of the jackpot game or during the small hit game, there may be a plurality of opening the big winning opening.

  The small hits won in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 are all small hits that are very likely to pass the gaming ball to the specific area 16 (also referred to as V passing). That is, while the second large winning opening 15 in the small hitting game is open, by arranging the distributing member 16k in the passage permitted state, by winning the game ball in the second large winning opening 15, the specific area 16 also passes It can be done. Therefore, when the player wins a small hit, as long as the player is playing a normal game, a two-type jackpot game is executed. In addition, you may provide the small hitting with the low probability of V passage in the small hitting which is won. Whether or not V passage is possible during the small hitting game is determined by the operation pattern of the distributing member 16k and the opening pattern of the VAT opening / closing member 15k.

  In the two-type big hit game, the first large winning opening 14 is opened in the opening pattern determined in accordance with the type of the small hit symbol. Specifically, the number of rounds differs depending on the type of small hitting symbol, and if it is 15R, short 4 times small hitting symbol, if it is 15R, 8R low 4 times, if small hitting symbol Would be 4R. The number of opening times of the first large winning opening 14 per 1 R is one, and the maximum opening time is 25.0 seconds. The game state after the two types of jackpot games when winning each small hit symbol is also time saving state. And, the time reduction number to be set is “4” regardless of which small hitting pattern.

  In addition, among the random numbers acquired according to the winning of the starting opening, the reach random number determines whether or not reach is to be generated in the effect design variation effect indicating the result when the result of the success or failure judgment is a loss. It is a random number. The reach is a state in which one of the plurality of effect symbols EZ is variably displayed, and the remaining effect symbols EZ are one, and it depends on which symbol the variable effect symbols EZ are stopped and displayed. It is a state (for example, the state of "7 ↓ 7") which becomes a combination of the effect design EZ which shows jackpot winning. The effect pattern EZ displayed in the reach state may be displayed so as to be slightly shaken in the display unit 50a, or may be displayed so as to repeat enlargement and reduction. This reach random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 127. Then, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the gaming state is the non-time-short state, it is determined that the reach is from 0 to 13, and it is determined that the reach is not from other than that. On the other hand, if the gaming state is the time saving state, it is determined that the reach is present at 0 to 5, and if not, it is determined that the reach is not present.

  Further, among the random numbers acquired according to the winning on the starting opening, the fluctuation pattern random number includes the fluctuation time of the special symbol (from the start of fluctuation display to the stop, that is, the time from derivation display of display result) It is a random number for determining the fluctuation pattern. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 127. FIG. 10 is a fluctuation pattern determination table showing the relationship between fluctuation pattern random numbers and fluctuation patterns. In this embodiment, the variation pattern determines the length of the variation time of the special symbol and the mode in which the reach effect is performed. Further, as modes of reach effect included in the fluctuation pattern, there are "normal reach" and "super reach (SP reach)" in which the rendering time is longer than that of the normal reach. Also about reach production, the fluctuation pattern random number is allocated so that "SP reach" is more likely to win the jackpot than "normal reach". In the present embodiment, the SP reach is usually evolved through reach. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines a variation pattern based on the type of special symbol, whether it is short time or non short time, or a jackpot or reach lottery result, in addition to the variation pattern random number.

5. Game Flow The game flow of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, there are three stages of the game, the normal time, the jackpot game time, and the chance time. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a part of the effect is determined at each stage. The stage of the game when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is activated is the normal time.

  The normal time in the game stage is the stage in which the jackpot has not been won or the stage after the opportunity time has ended. At this normal time, the player aims to win a prize in the first starting opening 11, and aims to win a jackpot by lottery of the special figure 1. Also, in normal times, the gaming state is non-short time state, and even when the player wins a normal hit, the open time of the electric chew 12D is extremely short (see FIG. 7), and winning in the second starting opening 12 is expected Can not. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 instructs to hit the left.

  In addition, the effect part during normal times is the normal effect part. In the normal effect part, various effects are performed during the fluctuation display of the special symbol, such as the effect pattern change effect, the normal reach effect, the SP reach effect, and the advance notice effect indicating the expectation of the jackpot.

  When the jackpot is won in the normal time, the stage of the game will shift at the time of the jackpot game. At the time of the jackpot game, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 plays a jackpot game and appropriately opens the first big winning opening 14 (see FIG. 9). The number of rounds associated with the opening of the first big winning opening 14 differs depending on the type of jackpot that has been won. In this embodiment, there are two types of jackpots of special figure 1, 9R time 4 short jackpots and 4R time 1 short jackpots, and the distribution is 9R time 4 short jackpots 5%, 4R time short The one-time jackpot is 95% (see FIG. 8 (B)). That is, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, in the jackpot of the special figure 1 which is the jackpot of the first time, most of the jackpots of the special game 1 become the 4R hourly short jackpot.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the first large winning opening 14 is provided in the right gaming area 6R. Therefore, at the time of jackpot game, it instructs to hit right. Even in the case of a big hit game, the gaming state is non-time-short state, and even when the player wins a normal hit, the open time of the electric chew 12D is extremely short, and it is not possible to expect a winning to the second starting opening 12.

  In addition, the effect part at the time of the big hit game becomes the big hit effect part. In the jackpot effect part, various effects are performed until the jackpot game is ended, such as the explanation of the appearing character, the game explanation after the jackpot game, and the like according to the estimated time of the jackpot game (the number of rounds). In addition, in the jackpot production part when winning the 9R time 4 short jackpot, the effect does not determine the type of the winning jackpot at the beginning of the jackpot game, and wins 4 times 9th time jackpot by the end of the fourth round You may perform the promotion production which reports that you did.

  When the jackpot game is over, the stage of the game will shift at the chance. That is, in the present embodiment, at least one time reduction number is given regardless of which jackpot is won, so the gaming state always shifts to the time saving state after the jackpot game. Specifically, the number of time reductions is given four times for the 9R time 4 short jackpots and once for the 4R time 1 short jackpot (see FIG. 9). In the case of providing a jackpot type in which the number of time reductions after the jackpot game is zero, if the jackpot is won, the gaming state does not change even after the jackpot game and remains non-time saving state. In this case, after the jackpot game, the stage of the game will normally return.

  Moreover, in the time saving state, the open time of the electric chow 12D when the player wins the normal winning is longer than that in the non-time short state (see FIG. 7). Furthermore, the right gaming area 6R is configured to easily aim for the electric chew 12D as compared to the left gaming area 6L, due to the arrangement of the game nails and stages. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 instructs to hit the right also at the chance.

  The winning probability of the jackpot in the special figure 2 is approximately 1/256 as in the special figure 1 (see FIG. 8A). On the other hand, there is a possibility that a small hit may be won in the special figure 2, and the small hit probability in the special figure 2 is about 1 / 5.82. That is, the winning probability of the small hit is extremely high compared to the winning probability of the big hit. In addition, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 wins a small hit, it opens the second large winning opening 15 for up to 25 seconds in its first round, and the period during the opening of the second large winning opening 15 in the small hitting game. Then, the distributing member 16k is moved to the pass-permitted position so as to allow passage of the gaming ball to the specific area 16. From this, as long as the player is playing a game in accordance with the right strike instruction (ie, continues to strike the right), the game ball can be passed through the specific area 16. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes two types of jackpots triggered by the passage of the specific area 16 of the gaming ball.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 executes the jackpot game again when the game ball passes the specific area 16 after winning the big hit in the lottery of the special figure 2 or winning the small hit. That is, the stage of the game will shift again at the time of the jackpot game. The number of rounds of the jackpot game at this time is different depending on the type of the jackpot winning or the type of the small jackpot (see FIG. 8 (B) and FIG. 9). In addition, after the end of the jackpot game, the stage of the game returns again at the chance, but the number of time savings at that time also differs depending on the type of jackpot winning or the type of small hit.

  On the other hand, even if a lottery for a predetermined number of times is performed, if neither the jackpot nor the small winning is won, the gaming state shifts from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. However, even if the gaming state is shifted to the non-time saving state, if the special figure 2 is on hold, the chance is continued, and the remaining special figure 2 is on hold. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a non-time-short remaining on-hold exclusive effect as an exclusive effect at the time of settling the on-hold of the remaining special view 2. Then, after transitioning to the non-short time state, even if all the reservations of the remaining special view 2 are digested, if neither the jackpot nor the jackpot is won, the game phase will be returned to the normal time. In addition, even if the game ball does not pass the specific area 16 even if the player wins the small hit, the stage of the game is returned to the normal time. On the other hand, when the game ball passes the specific area 16 after winning the big hit in the suspension of the remaining special view 2 or winning the small hit, the big hit game is executed again. That is, the stage of the game will be returned at the time of the jackpot game.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 has two parts for effect at the time of a short time. Specifically, the first time-shorting effect part, which is the effect part when the number of drawing times of the special figure 2 in the time saving state is two or more, and the second effect, which is the effect part when the rest becomes one time There are two production parts, the time-saving production part. Each production part at the time of chance in the time saving state includes a characteristic dedicated presentation. That is, in the first time reduction effect part, when the jackpot is won as a special effect, ie, when there is a possibility of winning a jackpot, a first notification effect of notifying that effect is performed. In addition, in the second time reduction effect part, as the special effects, the on-hold icon simultaneous change effect is performed to simultaneously change all of the on-hold icons HA for the 2nd special view on hold to the modes showing the expectation of the jackpot. In addition, the hold icon HA after change corresponds to the aspect of the fluctuation effect for each subsequent hold, and in the fluctuation effect for the hold of the special view 2 after transition to the non-time-shortened state, the non-time-short remaining hold only Make a presentation. Details of the production at the time of chance will be described later.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, as described above, the stage of the game starts from the normal time, and the jackpot of the special figure 1 is won to shift to the jackpot game and then to shift the chance. Then, when a game ball is passed to the specific area 16 after winning a jackpot at a chance time or winning a small hit, it shifts again at the time of the jackpot game and returns again at the chance. That is, the jackpot game time and the chance time are repeated. On the other hand, if neither the jackpot nor the jackpot is won in the hold of the special figure 2 acquired at the chance, it will return at the normal time.

  Furthermore, at the time of chance in the time saving state, until the number of drawing of the special figure 2 in the time saving state becomes one, the effect in the first time short rendering part is performed, and in the remaining one time, the second time short rendering Perform part-time production. In addition, in the lottery of special figure 1, when it is elected to the 4R time minor one big jackpot, the time minor frequency is one time, the effect in the first time minor effect part is not performed, after transitioning to the time minor status, the first from the beginning The production in the 2 o'clock short presentation part is performed. On the other hand, in the drawing of the special figure 2, regardless of which jackpot is won, the number of time reductions is four, and the effect in the first time reduction effect part is performed.

  For example, in the case where the type of the first jackpot is 4R time one short jackpot, the flow of the presentation from the first jackpot winning to the jackpot continuation is generally the following flow. First, in the non-time-saving state, when the player wins a 1R jackpot as a jackpot of the special figure 1, a jackpot game for 4 rounds is performed. As a flow of the effect, it will shift from the normal effect part to the jackpot effect part. And, after the big hit game ends, it moves to the 2nd time short effect part.

  In the second time reduction effect part, a change effect corresponding to the change display of the special figure 2 for one time in the time reduction state is performed. During the variable display of the special figure 2, since the player frequently wins normally in the lottery of the normal symbol in the time saving state, the electric chow 12D is operated by the player continuing the right strike, and the upper limit reserve of the special figure 2 It is likely to be able to save four second special feature reservations in a few minutes. Then, pre-reading of the reserve of the special figure 2 for the accumulated amount is performed, and all the reserve icons HA of the special figure 2 are changed to a mode indicating the expectation of the jackpot by the reserve icon simultaneous change presentation. Furthermore, the hold icon HA after the change is made to correspond to the mode of the subsequent change presentation. This changed holding icon HA can give the player a feeling of jackpot expectation for each holding icon HA.

  If the player wins a big hit or a small hit due to a one-time variable display of time-saving times, or withholding of the special view 2 saved at that time, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 plays a jackpot game again, and then shifts to a time-saving state. As the flow of the effect, in the time reduction state after the big hit game, since the time reduction number is four times, the effect of the first time reduction effect part is performed. In the first time-shortening effect part, an advance notice effect indicating that there is a possibility of a big hit is performed. By this prior notification effect, it is possible to give the player a feeling of jackpot expectation with effects different from those of the second time reduction effect part. This first time-shortening effect part continues until the remaining number of times of fluctuation display in the time-shortening state is one. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 suggests the degree of expectation of each hold by the first dedicated effect (second time effect part), and by the subsequent dedicated effect (first time effect part) across the jackpot game. We perform big hit first notice at the time of change indication for each hold which showed expectation degree in. As described above, even when the jackpot is continuous, it is possible to give the player various feelings of expectation each time the jackpot game is finished.

6. Details of First Short-Time Effects Part Next, the flow of effects in the first short-time effect part will be described. In the first time reduction effect part, a continuous pseudo change effect which repeats the change display and the temporary stop display of the effect pattern EZ is performed. Furthermore, if the success or failure of the special view 2 in the variable display is read ahead, and if the big hit or the small hit is won, that is, there is a possibility of winning the big hit, before the special view 2 is stopped and displayed, Perform an announcement effect to announce the winning.

  FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show the flow of the effect of the first short time effect part. FIG. 12 shows the flow of the effect when the special figure 2 in the variable display is a loss, and FIG. 13 shows the flow of the effect when the special figure 2 in the variable display is a big hit or a small hit Is shown. Specifically, when the variable display of the special view 2 is started, as shown in FIG. 12 (A) (the same applies to FIG. 13 (A)), the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the left effect pattern EZ1 and the middle effect pattern EZ2. The right effect design symbol EZ3 is displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50, and the variable display of these effect pattern EZ is started. Further, the small symbol KZ is displayed in the upper left corner of the display unit 50a as a production symbol indicating the state of the second special view display 81b. The display position of the small symbol KZ is not limited to the upper left corner, as long as it is a position seen by the player. The 図 in the figure indicates that the effect pattern EZ and the small pattern KZ are being displayed in a variable manner.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 turns on the frame lamp 53 in accordance with a predetermined lighting pattern. Further, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 outputs predetermined music and sound effects from the speaker 52. The lighting pattern and the music may be used continuously from the time of the jackpot game, or may be used for presentation at the time of chance. Further, at the start of the variable display of the special view 2, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 prefetches the success / failure result of the special view 2 in the variable display, and selects the effect pattern based on the preliminary read result.

  When the variation display of the effect pattern EZ is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is shown in FIGS. 12 (B) and (C) (FIGS. 13 (B) and (C) while the variation display of the special view 2 is being performed. As in the above, the temporary stop display of the effect pattern EZ (“” in the figure indicates that the effect pattern is in the temporary stop display) and the fluctuation display of the effect pattern EZ are repeated as shown in FIG. This makes it appear that a plurality of lotterys are performed in a short period of time during the variable display of the special figure 2 for one time. In this case, since the special figure 2 continues the variable display in this case, the small symbol KZ continues the variable display even while the effect pattern EZ is in the temporary stop display.

  Thereafter, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 stops and displays the special figure 2 when the variation time of the special figure 2 elapses. Along with this, the rendering design EZ and the small design KZ are also stopped and displayed. Specifically, in the case of a loss, as shown in FIG. 12 (D1), a combination of a loss is displayed for both of the rendering symbol EZ and the small symbol KZ, and the stopped state is maintained until the determination time elapses. And with the start of the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 based on the lottery of the next special drawing 2, the production pattern EZ and the small design KZ are also put together and the fluctuation display is started.

  On the other hand, when the player wins a big hit or a small hit, as shown in FIG. 13 (D2), at least one of the left effect design EZ1, the middle effect design EZ2, and the right effect design EZ3 during fluctuation display of the special view 2. One special effect design symbol TEZ is displayed. The special effect pattern TEZ is a pattern that is distinguished from the normal effect pattern EZ. In the present embodiment, the normal effect pattern EZ is a pattern having a number as a motif, and the special effect pattern TEZ is a pattern having a flower as a motif. The special effect design symbol TEZ is an effect pattern EZ that can be displayed when the player wins a big hit or a small hit, and means that the special effect design symbol TEZ is displayed to win a big hit or a small hit. That is, the effect for making the special effect design TEZ appear is a prior notification effect in which the winning of the big hit or the small hit is notified before the special symbol is stopped and displayed.

  Further, when the special effect design TEZ is displayed on any one of the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2, and the right effect pattern EZ3, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is shown as a dark transition effect as shown in FIG. 13 (E). Then, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 is darkened, the frame lamp 53 is turned off, and the output from the speaker 52 is stopped. That is, the effect currently performed until now is temporarily stopped. Darkening (monochrome display or output stop of the display unit 50a) or extinguishing (stopping the output of the frame lamp 53) and muffling (stopping the output from the speaker 52) are also effects that can be executed when winning a big or small hit, The occurrence of these effects means that a jackpot or jackpot has been won. That is, darkening, extinguishing, and silence are also part of the special effects, and are the first notification effects of the jackpot or the jackpot winning. The sudden occurrence of these effects causes the player to feel discomfort, and can further give the player a sense of expectation for the jackpot. In particular, when the output of the music and the lighting pattern of the frame lamp 53 are continued from the big hit game, such continuation can be cut off, which can be expected to give the player a large sense of discomfort. Note that the output stop of the frame lamp 53 does not have to be completely turned off, as long as the light amount is reduced. In addition, it is not necessary to completely mute the output from the speaker 52, as long as the volume is reduced. The display on the display unit 50a is not limited to darkening, for example, display of a color bar or the like may be used to display an image that makes the player feel uncomfortable.

  In addition, the order which first notice production | presentation produces | generates is not restricted to this, darkening, light extinction, and muffling may be performed prior to the display of the special production pattern TEZ. In addition, it is not necessary to cause darkening, turning off, and muting simultaneously. That is, the timing of occurrence may be shifted. Moreover, there is no need to perform the display of the special effect pattern TEZ, the darkening, the light-off, and the muffling all at the first notice effect, and at least one of them may be executed. Further, the first notification effect is not limited to the display of the special effect pattern TEZ, the darkening, the light-off, and the muffling, and, for example, the decoration movable body 55k may be operated.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13F, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the effect pattern EZ on the display unit 50a, turns on the frame lamp 53, and resumes the output from the speaker 52. Then, a combination indicating winning of a big hit or a small hit is displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 for both of the effect pattern EZ and the small symbol KZ, and the stopped state is maintained until the determination time elapses.

  After that, for example, when the small winning is won, the second large winning opening 15 is opened by the start of the small hitting game, as shown in FIG. 13 (G), the second large winning opening 15 Display a screen instructing you to hit the right to aim at the Then, on the condition that the game ball passes through the specific area 16 in the second big winning device 15D, as shown in FIG. 13H, an image indicating that the jackpot is won is displayed on the display unit 50a. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the jackpot game according to the type of the jackpot that is won after the gaming ball passes the specific area 16.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the rendering symbol EZ is stopped in the order of the left rendering symbol EZ1, the right rendering symbol EZ3, and the middle rendering symbol EZ2. In the effect that displays the special effect pattern TEZ shown in FIG. 13 (D2), the special effect pattern TEZ is applied to the middle effect pattern EZ2 during the third stop, but the place and the order in which the special effect pattern TEZ is displayed Is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the special effect design TEZ may be applied to the left effect pattern EZ1 to be stopped first, or, as shown in FIG. 15, the special effect is applied to the second effect pattern EZ3 to be stopped second. The symbol TEZ may be applied.

  Further, the special effect design TEZ is not limited to one place, and may be displayed at a plurality of places. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the special effect design TEZ may be applied to all three places of the left effect design EZ1, the middle effect design EZ2, and the right effect design EZ3. Further, for example, in the case where the special effect pattern TEZ is displayed in all three places, effects different from those in the case where the special effect pattern TEZ is displayed in only one place may be performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 16 (E1), instead of darkening effects, a combination of effect design EZ indicating winning of a big hit or a small hit is repeatedly displayed, so-called premier effect such as full turn effect is performed. You may make a special feeling at the time of displaying special production design TEZ on.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, as shown in FIG. 17, the selection ratio of the scenario for causing the special effect pattern TEZ to appear differs depending on the type of the jackpot or the small jackpot which has been won. Specifically, in the fourth scenario in which the special effect design TEZ appears at all three places when the player in the big hit game is elected to a large winning symbol of 16R time short 4 times big hit symbol or 15R time short 4 times small hit symbol The selection ratio is high, and the selection ratio of the first scenario in which the special effect design TEZ appears on the left effect design symbol EZ1 that is temporarily stopped the second most frequently is high. That is, there is a large percentage of early notification effects occurring. On the other hand, if the player's profit during the big hit game is smaller than the big hit or small hit of the previous 9R time short 4 times big hit symbol or 8R time short 4 small hit symbol, the 4th scenario selection ratio than before In the second scenario and the third scenario, the selection ratio increases. That is, there are many selection ratios of the scenario where the appearance timing of the special rendering pattern TEZ is late. Furthermore, when the player in the jackpot game wins a small winning symbol at 5R time short 4 times big hit symbol or 4R short time 4 times even smaller profit of the player during the big hit game, the selection ratio of the fourth scenario is further smaller, and the second scenario or the third scenario. The selection ratio of scenario increases respectively. That is, the selection ratio increases as the appearance timing of the special effect design TEZ is later. In other words, the appearance timing of the special effect design TEZ suggests the kind of big hit or small hit.

  The appearance timing of the special effect design TEZ is not limited to the stop timing of the effect design EZ, and may appear at a timing unrelated to the effect design EZ, such as immediately after the start of fluctuation. That is, when there are a plurality of timings at which the first notice effect occurs, it is difficult for the player to predict the occurrence of the first notice effect, and it is easier to give the player a sense of expectation when the first notice effect occurs.

  As described above, in the first time reduction effect part, a special effect including an advance notice effect and the like is performed until the number of times of fluctuation of the remaining special view 2 in the time reduction state becomes one. In the present embodiment, since the first short time rendering part is generated when the time saving count is won in four big hits or small hits, special effects are performed for the variable performance for three variable displays after the big hit game. The numerical value of three times is an example of the numerical value below the upper limit number of the holding lottery information stored in the second special view holding storage unit 105b after the end of the jackpot game. That is, in the present embodiment, after the jackpot game, the special effect is performed for the fluctuation effect of the upper limit of the suspension of special figure 2 minus 1. In this way, it is possible to give a special feeling to the lottery including the held lottery information stored at the end of the jackpot game.

  In the present embodiment, after the jackpot game, special effects are performed for the fluctuation display for three times of the fluctuation display, but the number of fluctuation effects for performing special effects is not limited to this. For example, after the jackpot game, it may be made only for one time of the variable effect, or it may be as the variable effect for the reserveable upper limit of the special figure 2 (for four times in this embodiment). However, the more the number of the special effects, the more the player can enjoy the special effects. However, when the number is too large, the special feeling of the special effects is diminished. Therefore, after the end of the jackpot game, the execution opportunity of the special effect is limited to the fluctuation effect of the reserveable upper limit of the special view 2 (four times in this embodiment).

  Further, the number of times of the variable effect which performs the special effect is not limited to the fixed value, and may be a variable value. For example, the special effect may be performed only for the change effect for the suspension of the special view 2 stored at the end of the jackpot game. For example, when winning a big hit or a small hit in the state of leaving 2 reservations of special figure 2 and executing a big hit game, then, about the fluctuation effect of the 2 remaining reservations (pending of special figure 2 during the big hit game If there is an accumulation (including the fluctuation effect of the suspension), a special effect may be performed. That is, when the number of reservations of the special view 2 stored at the end of the jackpot game is M, a special effect may be performed on the M variable play after the jackpot game. By limiting the target of the special effect to the hold of the special view 2 stored at the end of the jackpot game, it is possible to give a stronger special feeling to the hold left at the previous chance.

  Also, in this embodiment, the special effect includes the display of the special effect pattern TEZ, dark turn, extinguished, and mute, but the special effect other than these effects, for example, the premier image is won when winning a big or small hit You may perform the premiere image effect displayed. That is, the effect may be any effect that can be performed only in the first time-shortening effect part, and any effect that can be distinguished from other stages.

7. Details of Second Short-Time Effect Part Next, the flow of effects in the second short-time effect part will be described. In the second time reduction effect part, all of the hold icons HA for the hold of the special view 2 stored at that stage are all changed at a predetermined timing during the variable display of the special view 2 simultaneously to a mode showing the expectation of the jackpot Make a pending icon simultaneous change effect. The changed holding icon indicates the expectation of the jackpot, and also suggests the contents of the change effect corresponding to the holding icon.

  As described above, the second time-shortening part, when the number of fluctuation display of Toku-zu 2 in the short-time state becomes one, ie, the last fluctuation display of Toku-zu 2 in the short-time state (for example If it is, it is an effect part regarding the 4th change display, and if the number of time saving is one, it is the 1st change display). FIG. 18A shows the content displayed on the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50 when the final variation display is started.

  Specifically, when the final variation display of the special view 2 in the short time state is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is similar to the first short time presentation part, with the left effect design EZ1, the middle effect design EZ2, and the right effect design EZ3. It displays on the display part 50a of the image display apparatus 50, respectively, and also starts the fluctuation display of these production | presentation pattern EZ. However, in the second short time rendering part, even if the player wins a jackpot or a small jackpot, the special rendering symbol TEZ is not displayed. Further, similarly to the first time reduction effect part, the small symbol KZ is displayed in the upper left corner of the display unit 50a as an effect pattern indicating the state of the original second special view display 81b. The display position of the small symbol KZ is not limited to the upper left corner, as long as it is a position seen by the player.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is below the display unit 50a under the display unit 50a, the fluctuation icon TA indicating that the special figure 2 is currently being displayed in a variable manner, and the pending icon HA indicating the number of pending special figures 2 at the current time. Display in the area. The hold icon HA corresponds to each hold of the special view 2, that is, each hold lottery information stored in the second special view hold storage unit 105b, and corresponds to the hold lottery information previously stored. The icons are displayed in the vicinity of the change icon TA in order from the hold icon HA. FIG. 18A shows that there are two reservations of the special view 2, and in order from the suspension icon HA corresponding to the suspension stored earlier, it becomes the first suspension icon HA1 and the second suspension icon HA2. . Then, when the special view 2 in the variable display is stopped and displayed, that is, when the hold of the special view 2 is digested, the first hold icon HA1 moves to the left and becomes the change icon TA, and the second hold icon HA2 Moves to the left and becomes the first hold icon HA1.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 for the number of reservations of the special figure 2 accumulated until the final fluctuation display ends, in addition to the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 for a predetermined number of time intervals. It can be carried out. In the present embodiment, since the upper limit of the suspension of the special figure 2 is 4, if the number of time saving is one, a maximum of 5 times of one for the time reduction number + 4 for the upper limit of the suspension of the special figure 2 The variable display of the special figure 2 can be performed. In addition, if the time saving number is 4 times, it is possible to perform the variable display of the special figure 2 up to 8 times, 4 times for the time saving number + 4 times for the upper limit of the suspension of the special figure 2.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a probability of winning a big or small hit by about 1/6 in the variable display of the special figure 2, that is, the drawing of the special figure 2 (see FIG. 8A). Therefore, the player is extremely interested in the single drawing of the special figure 2 and the size of the number of drawing of the special drawing 2 greatly affects the player's profit. Therefore, in the first half of the second time reduction effect part, as shown in FIG. 18B, the electric chew 12D is stored so that the reserve of the special figure 2 is accumulated up to the upper limit during the final variation display of the special figure 2 in the short time state. Display a screen for instructing to aim. In addition, when the reserve of special figure 2 is already accumulated to the upper limit, it is not necessary to display the screen.

  When the suspension of the special figure 2 is accumulated up to the upper limit, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays an image suggesting that on the display unit 50a. For example, as shown in FIG. 18C, the first hold icon HA1 is "follow", the second hold icon HA2 is "ready", the third hold icon HA3 is "O", and the fourth hold icon HA4 is "K". By displaying “4” and “4” in combination, “prepare OK” is displayed, which indicates that the reserve of Toku 2 has accumulated up to the upper limit. In addition, the mode which suggests that the 2nd special view reservation has accumulated up to the upper limit is not limited to this, and characters such as "pending MAX" may be displayed at the center of the screen, or the message displayed on the screen Alternatively, specific sound effects or sounds may be output.

  After the first half of the second short time rendering part is finished, the second half is shifted. The timing to shift to the second half of the second time reduction rendering part is during the final variation display of the special view 2 in the time reduction state, and is the timing at which a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation display (the start of variation presentation) It may be a timing when it is detected that the reserve of Special Figure 2 has accumulated up to the upper limit. In addition, it may be based on the fluctuation display of the normal symbol which becomes the operation opportunity of electric cho 12D and the lottery result.

  In the second half of the second time reduction effect part, that is, in the second half of the fluctuation presentation of the final fluctuation display of the special figure 2, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the above-described suspension icon simultaneous change presentation. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18D, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs an effect of scolding the change of the holding icon HA. During this lingering effect, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 pre-reads all of the reservations of the special view 2 currently held. After that, with respect to all of the reserved icons HA of the special view 2, a pending icon simultaneous change effect is simultaneously performed in which the degree of expectation of the jackpot is changed.

  FIG. 18D shows the hold icon HA before the change, and shows a state in which all the hold icons HA are in the normal mode. FIG. 18 (E1) shows the hold icon HA after change, and shows a state in which each hold icon HA is in a mode showing the expectation of the jackpot. Since each suspension icon HA individually indicates the expectation of the jackpot, there may be different modes as shown in FIG. 18 (E1), but a plurality of suspension icons HA of the same mode are displayed. There is also.

  FIG. 19 shows a selection table of the hold icon HA in the hold icon simultaneous change presentation. In this embodiment, five types of modes are prepared as modes of the hold icon HA after change. Among these, each of the first, second, third, and fourth types of retention icons HA have the same shape and different colors or patterns. Also, in the special type, the shape is different as compared with other hold icons HA.

  Furthermore, the first type of holding icon HA is often selected at the time of lost, and is low at the time of jackpot or jackpot. That is, it indicates that the jackpot expectation is low. On the other hand, the second type is less likely to be selected when lost than the first type, the third type is even less likely to be selected when lost than the second type, and the fourth type is further more than the third type Also the possibility of being selected at the time of losing is low. Also, the special type is not selected at the time of losing, suggesting the determination of the jackpot or jackpot. That is, it means that the degree of expectation of winning a jackpot or a jackpot in the order of the first type, the second type, the third type, the fourth type, and the special type is high.

  Further, when the mode of the hold icon HA is won for the big hit or the small hit, the selection ratio also differs depending on the type. That is, if the type of jackpot or jackpot is a type with a large number of rounds in a jackpot game (the player earns a large profit), (in this embodiment, 16R time 4 shorts and 14R time 4 shorts) The second type, the third type, and the fourth type are easier to be selected than the first type. On the other hand, if the type of jackpot or jackpot is a type in which the number of rounds in the jackpot game is small (the profit obtained by the player is small) (in the present embodiment, 4R short 4R big hit or 4R low R 4) The first type and the second type are easier to select than the third type and the fourth type. That is, the aspect of the hold icon HA also suggests the type of jackpot or jackpot. In addition, the ratio of the special type has a smaller selection ratio than the other types, and gives a special feeling when it is selected.

  In addition to the difference in color and the difference in shape, for example, the difference in the mode of the hold icon HA may be different depending on the size. In this case, for example, the degree of expectation may be higher as the size is larger. Further, as an example of the difference in shape, an image of a special character or an item may be used in addition to an image having a V-shaped motif as in the special type.

  As described above, in the second time-shortening effect part, the mode is simultaneously changed with respect to all the hold icons HA corresponding to the hold of the special view 2 as the hold icon simultaneous change effect. Then, by displaying the expectation level of winning of the jackpot in all the holding icons HA, it is possible to give the player a certain degree of expectation with respect to each holding lottery information.

  In addition, in the second time reduction effect part, it is necessary to have a time for storing the second special figure hold to the upper limit and a time for the hold icon simultaneous change effect. Therefore, as for the variable display in which the second time reduction rendering part is performed, the fluctuation time may be made longer than that of the other variable displays.

  Further, in the pending icon simultaneous change effect shown in FIG. 18, the mode is simultaneously changed for the pending icon HA, but as shown in FIG. 20, the mode is simultaneously changed including the variation icon TA. You may By changing the variable icon TA and the like, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for the lottery result currently on the variable display. In this case, the fluctuation icon TA does not have to be associated with the fluctuation effect only by indicating the expectation of the jackpot.

  On the other hand, in the pending icon simultaneous change presentation, although all the pending icons HA are changed, a part of the missed icons HA may not be changed. That is, it is not necessary to change all of the hold icons HA. However, by changing all of the hold icons HA simultaneously as in this embodiment, the impact of the hold icon simultaneous change effect on the player is strong, and the interest of the hold icon simultaneous change effect is enhanced.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 does not necessarily execute the on-hold icon simultaneous change effect in the second time reduction effect part, but selects the execution of the on-hold icon simultaneous change effect. That is, during the turning effect of the change of the holding icon HA shown in FIG. 18D, it is selected whether or not the holding icon simultaneous change indication is to be performed. When the execution of the pending icon simultaneous change presentation is selected, the pending icon HA is simultaneously changed as shown in FIG. 18 (E1), and the execution of the pending icon simultaneous presentation is not selected. As shown in FIG. 21 (E0), displays an image indicating that the change of the hold icon HA has failed, and does not change the hold icon HA.

  FIG. 22 shows an execution selection table for holding icon simultaneous change presentation. In this embodiment, the execution ratio of the suspension icon simultaneous change effect is whether or not there is a suspension of the special figure 2 which has been elected to the big hit or small hit, and further in the variable display of the special figure 2 during the variable display It depends on whether or not you win a win. Whether or not a jackpot or a small jackpot can be won or not can be determined by look-ahead performed during the turning effect of the change of the hold icon HA shown in FIG. 18 (D) (also in FIG. 21 (D)).

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the case where there is a suspension of Special Figure 2 winning a big or small hit is compared to the case where there is no suspension of Special Figure 2 winning a large or small win, The pending icon simultaneous change presentation is easy to be executed. As a result, the expectation to the jackpot can be enhanced when the pending icon simultaneous change presentation is performed. In addition, when winning a big hit or small hit in the lottery of the special figure 2 during the variable display, compared with the case where the winning of the big figure or the small hit is not won in the lottery of the special figure 2 in the variable display, Simultaneous change production is difficult to be performed. When winning a big hit or a small hit in the drawing of the special figure 2 during the variable display, the pending icon simultaneous change presentation is not performed, and after the presentation that failed the change of the holding icon HA is performed, the variation jackpot Or by giving an effect of a small hit, it is possible to cause a special feeling of the change, and the interest is enhanced.

  In addition, when pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a continuance of special figure 2 winning in big hit or small hit continuously, for the pending icon HA corresponding to them, in the selection table of the aspect of the pending icon HA in FIG. In place of the selection result of, the special type is decided. That is, as shown in FIG. 23 (E3), it is a special aspect having a shape different from that of the other types, and the special type retention icon HA indicating the determination of the jackpot or the jackpot is continuously displayed. Note that FIG. 23 (E3) shows a case in which the third hold icon HA3 and the fourth hold icon HA4 continuously win a jackpot or a jackpot. As a result, in the case of a rare case in which a jackpot or a small jackpot is continuously won, it is possible to indicate to the player that the rare case has occurred, and the player's expectation can be further enhanced.

  In addition, when pachinko gaming machines PY1 are all selected as big wins or small hits for the reserve of special figure 2, as shown in FIG. 24 (E4), all the reserve icons HA are determined to be special types. In addition, a special effect image EG is displayed, a special sound effect is output from the speaker 52, and the frame lamp 53 is lit with a special lighting pattern. As a result, in the extremely rare case of winning all jackpots or small hits, it can be suggested to the player that the rare case has occurred, and the player's expectation can be further enhanced.

  In the present embodiment, when the suspension of the special figure 2 winning in the big hit or the small hit is continued, the hold icon HA is determined to be a special mode, but there are a plurality even if they are not continued. In these cases, those pending icons HA may be determined in a special mode (in this embodiment, a special type). Further, in the present embodiment, the special type is determined as a special aspect, but a special-purpose exclusive aspect may be provided when there is a continuous suspension of the special figure 2 winning the jackpot or the small jackpot.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the on-hold icon simultaneous change effect is performed during the final change display of the special view 2 in the time saving state, but the on-hold icon simultaneous change effect may be performed not only at this. However, the remaining variable display after the transition to the non-short time state is also the final chance to return to the short time state, and by switching to the non-short time state by performing during the final variable display of the special figure 2 in the short time state It is possible to give special expectation to the fluctuation display of the remaining special figure 2 later.

  Further, in the embodiment, in the pending icon simultaneous change effect, the mode is changed for all the pending icons HA of the special view 2 stored during the final change display, but all the pending icons HA are not necessarily changed. There is no need to change, and a hold icon HA that does not change may be included. Whether or not to change the mode of the hold icon HA may be determined by a random number etc. For example, when winning a big or small hit, compared to the case of losing, if the percentage not changing the hold icon HA Good. In this case, even if the hold icon HA changes, it is possible to give the player a special feeling of expectation.

8. Details of non-time-short remaining reserve only effect Next, non-time short remaining only effect will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 also squeezes the remaining special figure 2 on hold (that is, the special figure 2 is targeted by the on-hold icon simultaneous change effect) after the final change display of the special figure 2 ends. Perform a non-time-short remaining on-hold special effect that is a dedicated effect of the fluctuation effect for the on-hold of.

  In the non-time-short remaining reserve-only effect, each of the reserve icons HA after change due to the reserve icon simultaneous change effect is a variation effect when the variation display based on the reserve of the special view 2 corresponding to those reserve icons HA It corresponds one-on-one with the content. In other words, in the on-hold icon simultaneous change effect, all the on-hold icons HA are changed in one-to-one correspondence with the effect contents of the non-time-short remaining on-hold effect. For example, in the non-time-short remaining reserve-only effect of this embodiment, reach effect is performed in almost all cases. The content of the reach effect corresponds to the mode of the hold icon HA.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the non-time-short remaining reserve-only effect is started, the left effect pattern EZ1, the middle effect pattern EZ2, and the right effect pattern EZ3 are displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50, respectively. As shown in (F), the variable display of the effect pattern EZ is started. After that, develop it into reach production.

  The content of the reach effect corresponds to the mode of the hold icon HA. In the present embodiment, if it is the first type, normal reach is executed. That is, as shown in FIG. 25 (G1), the effect design EZ is displayed in the reach state. In this embodiment, the left effect pattern EZ1 and the right effect pattern EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same effect pattern. After that, the effect pattern indicating the result of the acceptance is automatically displayed on the middle effect pattern EZ2. That is, when the jackpot or jackpot has been won, the left effect pattern EZ1 and the right effect pattern EZ3 display the same effect pattern, and in the case of a loss, the left effect pattern EZ1 and the right effect pattern EZ3 are different effect patterns indicate. In the case of the normal reach, the operation of the effect button 40 is not accepted from the reach state until the display of the result of the pass / fail.

  On the other hand, if it is a 2nd type, the presentation which requires button operation will be performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 25 (G2) as in the first type, after displaying the rendering pattern EZ in the reach state, as shown in FIG. 25 (H2), the image of the rendering button 40k is displayed and the rendering is performed A predetermined period for accepting the operation of the button 40k is provided. Then, in response to the detection of the operation of the effect button 40k during the predetermined period, the effect pattern indicating the result of the acceptance or rejection is displayed on the middle effect pattern EZ2. When the operation of the effect button 40k is not detected within the predetermined period, after the predetermined period has passed, the effect symbol indicating the result of the pass / fail is automatically displayed on the middle effect symbol EZ2.

  On the other hand, even in the third type, effects that require button operation are executed. However, in the case of the third type, the effect button 40k is vibrated at the start of reception of the operation of the effect button 40k. That is, as shown in FIG. 25 (G3) as before, after displaying the rendering pattern EZ in a reach state, as shown in FIG. 25 (H3), an image in which the rendering button 40 k is vibrating is displayed There is also provided a predetermined period for accepting the operation of the effect button 40k. Then, in response to the detection of the operation of the effect button 40k, the middle effect pattern EZ2 displays an effect pattern indicating a result of the acceptance or rejection. When the operation of the effect button 40k is not detected within the predetermined period, after the predetermined period has passed, the effect symbol indicating the result of the pass / fail is automatically displayed on the middle effect symbol EZ2.

  On the other hand, even in the fourth type, effects that require button operations are executed. However, in the case of the fourth type, the effect button 40k is raised upward when reception of the operation of the effect button 40k is started. That is, as shown in FIG. 25 (G4) as before, after displaying the rendering pattern EZ in a reach state, as shown in FIG. 25 (H4), an image in which the rendering button 40k is raised is displayed There is also provided a predetermined period for accepting the operation of the effect button 40k. Then, in response to the detection of the operation of the effect button 40k, the middle effect pattern EZ2 displays an effect pattern indicating a result of the acceptance or rejection. In addition, when operation of the production button 40k is not detected within a predetermined period, the production design which shows a yes-no result on the middle effect pattern EZ2 is automatically displayed after progress of the predetermined period, and the mode of the production button 40k Restore the.

  As described above, when the reserve icon HA is any one of the first type, the second type, the third type, and the fourth type, the rendering pattern EZ is displayed in the reach state, and further in the reach state The presence or absence of the operation of the effect button 40k, and the mode of the effect button 40k differ depending on the type. In other words, the type of the hold icon HA corresponds to the content of the reach effect.

  The difference in the content of the reach effect is not limited to the operation or the mode of the effect button 40k. For example, when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is provided with a plurality of types of input devices, the content of the reach effect may be made different depending on the difference in the input devices to be received. Further, the content of the reach effect may be made different depending on the mode of the input operation (for example, one hit, continuous hit, long press) in which the input of the input device is received. Further, the content of the reach effect may be made different depending on the number of input operations for receiving the input of the input device. Of course, these may be combined to make the content of reach production different. Further, the difference in the content of the effect is not limited to the content of the reach effect, and may be, for example, the number of times of pseudo-series effect, or may be the difference in appearing characters.

  In the case of the special type, as shown in FIG. 25 (G5), the reach effect is not performed, and it is determined that the jackpot is won after a predetermined time has passed since the start of the fluctuation effect. The combination of the effect pattern EZ to be shown is displayed suddenly. By making the contents of the special type of variation effects largely different from those of the other types in this way, it is possible to give a special type of special feeling.

  As described above, in the non-time-short remaining reserve dedicated effect, the aspect of the change effect is associated with the hold icon HA. As a result, the player can assume the effect content from the mode of the hold icon HA, and can generate the expectation of the jackpot according to the effect content. In the present embodiment, the hold icon HA is in one-to-one correspondence with the content of the change effect, but the hold icon HA does not necessarily have to be one-on-one, and may be in one-to-many correspondence. That is, there may be a plurality of modes of variation effects that can be selected with respect to the mode of one reserved icon HA. Even if it is a pair, the player can assume to a certain extent the content of the effect corresponding to the hold icon HA, and can generate an expectation of the jackpot. However, it is possible for the player to predict the contents of the effect more clearly in the one-to-one correspondence, and the jackpot expectation can be more generated.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the non-short time remaining hold dedicated effect is performed in the hold of the special figure 2 remaining after transitioning to the non time short state, but the same effect may be performed at another timing as well as this. Good. For example, even in the time-saving state, the hold icon HA may be associated with the aspect of the variation effect. In that case, it is not necessary to change all of the reserve icons HA at the same time, and the mode may be changed each time each reserve icon HA satisfies a predetermined condition. However, the remaining variable display after the transition to the non-short time state is also the final chance to return to the short time state, and at least by changing the hold icon HA during the final variable display of the special figure 2 in the short time state. It is possible to give special expectation to the fluctuation display of the remaining special view 2 after transitioning to the non-time-short state.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the case of winning the jackpot or jackpot successively in the remaining reserve of the special view 2 immediately after transitioning to the non-short time state, those reserve icons HA can be special icons such as a special type The player is given a special feeling by the hold icon HA (see (E3) in FIG. 23), but effects different from normal may be performed also in the change effect corresponding to the hold icon HA.

  For example, in the remaining reserve of special figure 2 immediately after transitioning to the non-time-shortened state, only one is won when there are a plurality of jackpots or jackpots (it does not have to be won consecutively) in the special figure 2 Perform different effects compared to the case. Specifically, in the case where a plurality of jackpots have been won for the big hit or small hit in the remaining hold of the special figure 2, the hold of the special figure 2 to be won for the big hit or small hit at least earlier as shown in FIG. 26 (E1). (The hold icon HA corresponding to the hold of the special figure 2 to be won later may be another type), as shown in FIG. 26 (G6). In the variation effect corresponding to, the premier image PG is displayed. This can give rise to the expectation that the player will have an advantageous event.

  By performing the above-described variation presentation, in the special type of the holding icon HA, two presentation modes of presentation of displaying the premiere image PG and presentation of not displaying the premiere image PG are associated. That is, in the special type, as long as the condition is satisfied on condition that the jackpot for the big hit or the small hit is held in the hold of the special figure 2 to be digested later, it is shown in FIG. Thus, the effect of displaying the premiere image PG is executed, and if the condition is not satisfied, the effect of not displaying the premiere image PG is performed as shown in FIG. 26 (G5). That is, in the case where the hold (referred to as hold X) corresponding to the first hold icon HA1 in FIG. 26 (E1) is elected as a big hit or a small hit, the second hold icon HA2, the third hold icon HA3, and the fourth hold. If at least one of the icons HA4 wins a big hit or a small hit, an effect of displaying a premiere image PG as shown in FIG. 26 (G6) in the change presentation of hold X is performed, and both are won. If not, in the variation effect, an effect of not displaying the premiere image PG as shown in FIG. 26 (G5) is performed. As described above, by providing the effect that is performed only when the predetermined condition is satisfied even with one type of the reserved icon HA, it is possible to further give a special feeling about the special type, and the interest is improved. .

  Further, for example, when winning in a large hit or a small hit continuously in the remaining hold of the special view 2 immediately after transitioning to the non-short time state, a special scenario may be produced across a plurality of holds. FIG. 27 shows the flow of the special scenario when the player wins the jackpot or the jackpot twice in a row in the hold of the special view 2 in a row. Further, in FIG. 27, among the four hold icons HA shown in FIG. It is assumed that the player wins a small hit, that is, wins a jackpot or a small hit twice in a row.

  The special scenario is a scenario of continuous rendering divided into the first to fourth four parts. When the final variation display in the time saving state is ended and the change display of suspension A corresponding to the first suspension icon HA1 in FIG. 27 (1) is started, as shown in FIG. 27 (2), the special scenario Start the first part. After that, when the variation display of the hold A ends and the jackpot game is started along with the jackpot winning, as shown in FIG. 27 (3), the second part of the special scenario is started. That is, the effect during the variable display of the hold A and the subsequent effect during the big hit game are made continuous.

  Further, when the jackpot game is over and the change display of the hold B corresponding to the second hold icon HA2 in FIG. 27 (1) is started, as shown in FIG. 27 (4), the third part of the special scenario To start. That is, the effect during the execution of the previous jackpot game and the effect during the fluctuation display of the suspension B are also made continuous. Then, when the variation display of the hold B ends and the jackpot game is started along with the jackpot winning, as shown in FIG. 27 (5), the fourth part of the special scenario is started. That is, the effect during the change display of the reserve B and the effect during the execution of the subsequent jackpot game are also made continuous. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 27 (6), the special scenario is ended while the jackpot game is being executed. In this way, continuous effects are performed from the change of the hold A to the change of the hold B across the jackpot game and further to the subsequent jackpot game. By performing such a special scenario presentation, it is possible to further give the player a special feeling that the jackpot is continuous, and further, the entertainingness of the presentation is further improved.

  In the special scenario, in order to make the player understand that the effects are continuous in the first to fourth parts, for example, the same music is continuously output. In addition, as a display of the number of rounds displayed during the jackpot game, the total number of rounds of the jackpot game of 2 times is displayed. In addition, in the special scenario, a premier image may be displayed in order to give a special feeling of presentation.

  In addition, even in the case of performing the above-mentioned special scenario, in the special type of the hold icon HA, two effect modes of the effect of performing the special scenario and the effect of not performing the special scenario are associated with each other. become. That is, in the special type, on the condition that the jackpot is won in a large hit or a small hit, if the condition is satisfied, the special scenario shown in FIG. 27 is executed, and the condition must be satisfied. For example, special scenario rendering is not performed. Therefore, it is possible to give a further special feeling about the special type of reserved icon HA, and the interest is improved.

  In the case where the player holds a jackpot or a jackpot in succession in the remaining reserve of the special figure 2, it is preferable to determine by drawing whether or not to produce a special scenario. In the case where the special scenario is not performed, for example, as shown in FIG. In addition, special scenarios may be prepared for each number of pending lottery information that has been won consecutively.

9. Details of the Variation Time of the Normal Symbol Subsequently, the variation time of the normal symbol by the spread indicator 82 of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. As described above, since the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is provided with at least one time reduction after the big hit game, it is shifted at the chance to advance the game by the lottery of the special view 2. However, the drawing of the special view 2 is not automatically started after the jackpot game, but is started by making the game ball reach the second starting opening 12. In order to make the game ball win a prize to the second starting opening 12, it is necessary to operate the electric chew 12D and open the second starting opening 12.

  In order to open the second starting opening 12, as described above, the passage of the gate 13 of the game ball, the lottery of the normal symbol (general variation and stop per normal symbol stop display), the start of the auxiliary game (electric Chu 12D Acting), will follow the procedure. In this embodiment, the probability of winning for a normal hit is approximately 99.5%, which is an extremely high probability approaching 100% (see FIG. 6A). The electric chew 12D operates with a fixed operation pattern by winning a normal hit (see FIG. 7). Therefore, passage of the gate 13 of the gaming ball is important as an element for opening the second starting opening 12. However, the timing at which the game ball passes through the gate 13 is such that the random factor is strong (that is, it may pass early or may pass quite lately in one shot unit). Therefore, after waiting for the passage of the gate 13 of the game ball after the jackpot game, the time until the first long-term opening of the electric chow 12D after the jackpot game, that is, until the second starting opening 12 becomes substantially prize-winning possible Time is unstable. If, for example, the electric chew 12D does not operate for a while after the jackpot game, the player may cool down to play the game. In addition, when reserve of special figure 2 remains at the end of the big hit game, fluctuation indication of special figure 2 is started immediately, but passing gate 13 of game sphere for the opening of electric chew 12D at this time If it waits, the timing with the screen (see FIG. 18B) for instructing to aim for the electric chow 12D in the first half of the second time-short producing part is difficult to match.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the upper limit of the common drawing suspension is set to four, and the common drawing suspension is accumulated up to the upper limit during the jackpot game. By storing the common drawing reserve, after the end of the jackpot game, it is possible to start the variation display of the normal symbol without waiting for the gate 13 of the game ball to pass. In the normal symbol lottery, because it is normally hit with high probability, it is possible to start auxiliary game promptly. That is, since the random element of passage of the gate 13 can be eliminated by the presence of the common drawing at the end of the big hit game, the time until the long-term opening of the electric chow 12D after the big hit game can be stabilized.

  Furthermore, the pachinko game machine PY1 has set the fluctuation time of the normal symbol at the time of the jackpot game, that is, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol in the non-time-short state so that the regular drawing suspension is reliably accumulated to the upper limit . Specifically, in this embodiment, the variation time of the normal symbol in the jackpot game, that is, the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-short time state, is 4.9 seconds to 8.5 seconds (see FIG. 6B). This fluctuation time is shorter than the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 in the short time state (the shortest is 32 seconds, see FIG. 10).

  If the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-short time state is too long, for example, when the variation display of the normal symbol is started immediately before the end of the big hit game, until the success or failure of the normal symbol is determined after the big hit game is over take time. That is, it takes time until the lottery of the normal symbol in the short time state is actually started after shifting at the chance and the game is extended. In addition, when there is a reserve of special figure 2 at the end of the big hit game, the fluctuation display based on the reserve of special figure 2 will be started, so the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-short time state is in the short time state If it is longer than the fluctuation time of the special figure 2, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol does not end during the fluctuation display of the special figure 2, and the opportunity to operate the electric chew 12D during the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 can be lost There is sex. Therefore, in this embodiment, the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-time-short state is made shorter than the variation time of the special figure 2 in the time-short state.

  On the other hand, if the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the non-short time state is too short, even if the stock map stock is stored during the jackpot game, it will be immediately digested, and the stock market stock is hard to be stored up to the upper limit. Therefore, the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-short time state is made longer than the average passing interval at which the passage of the gate 13 is detected when the gaming balls are hit consecutively.

  Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a probability of winning of a normal hit of about 99.5%, which is an extremely high probability close to 100% (see FIG. 6A). Further, when the gaming state is the non-time-short state, the shortest variation time of the normal symbol is 4.9 seconds in the case where the non-time-short normal symbol A is won (see FIG. 6B). Even if all the four reserved items are non-time-short ordinary symbols A including the variation of the normal symbols, it takes 4.9 seconds × 5 = 24.5 seconds to digest all. In addition, the passing rate of the game ball of the gate 13 which is a trigger of the common drawing reservation is designed to be 35 times / minute when hitting the game ball continuously. That is, assuming that 100 game balls are fired in one minute from the launcher 72, the game balls are gated at a rate of about once every three shots by designing that 35 shots pass the gate on average. I will pass 13 Since the firing time per shot is 0.66 seconds, it takes 0.66 seconds × 3 = 1.98 seconds to fire 3 game balls, which detects the passage of the game balls to the gate 13 Average passing interval.

  In the present embodiment, since the shortest variation time of the normal symbol in the non-short time state is longer than the average passing time, passage of the gaming ball to the gate 13 at least once can be expected during the variation display of the normal symbol. That is, if the game balls are continuously hit, it can be expected that at least one common drawing reserve will be stored during the common drawing reserve digestion. Therefore, when hitting a game ball like a big hit game, there is a low possibility that the common drawing hold will not be lost, and the common drawing hold status may be stored, especially to the upper limit. Becomes higher.

  That is, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-short time state is shorter than the variation time of the special figure 2 in the short time state, from the average passing interval at which passage of gaming balls to the gate 13 is detected By making it too long, it is easy to become a state in which the common drawing reserve is stored at the end of the jackpot game. Since the regular drawing reserve is stored at the end of the jackpot game, it is possible to start the fluctuation display of the normal symbol in the time saving state immediately after the end of the fluctuation display of the normal symbol started before the end of the jackpot game. That is, after the end of the jackpot game, the variation of the timing to start the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is small.

  In addition, in pachinko game machine PY1, in normal drawing of lottery, because it wins normally with probability of almost 100%, after the end of fluctuation indication of normal design, electric chow 12D operates almost, second starting opening 12 Is released. As a result, it is possible to aim for the winning of the second starting opening 12 promptly after the shift to the time saving state, and the suspension of the special figure 2 is easily accumulated. In the present embodiment, 99.5% is used as an example of a high probability of winning probability in the normal symbol lottery, but it is sufficient if the probability is almost 100%, that is, 100%, for example, 90% or more probability applies Do. In the case where the winning probability of the normal winning is not close to 100% in the lottery of the normal symbol, the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-time-short state may be set in consideration of the winning probability of the normal winning. For example, when the winning probability of the normal hit is close to 50%, the variation time of the normal symbol in the non-short state may be made longer than twice the average passing interval at which the passage of the gate 13 is detected. .

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the upper limit of normal drawing retention is set to four. Thus, by making it possible to store a plurality of common drawing reserves, even if the player who is stopping the launch of the game ball during the end of the big hit game is playing a game, ie, by the start of the time saving state Even if some general drawing reserves have been digested, it is more likely that the general drawing reserves are accumulated at the beginning of the short-lived state.

10. Next, the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 on the game control board 100 of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. As a specific process executed by the game control microcomputer 101, there is a game side start process. A counter, a timer, a flag, a status, a buffer, and the like that appear in the description of the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 are provided in the game RAM 104.

[Game side start processing]
The game-side activation process executed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the main power of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is turned on from the off state, that is, the power switch 191 is turned on, and the power supply from the outside is started via the power supply substrate 190. At the same time, the program for the game-side activation process is read out from the game ROM 103 and executed.

  In the game-side activation process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first performs an initial operation to initialize the gaming CPU 102, initialize the gaming RAM 104, and the like (S001). Specifically, in S001, the gaming control microcomputer 101 permits access to the gaming RAM 104. When the RAM clear switch 119 is pressed or the main power is not normally turned off, the game RAM 104 is initialized. As a result, various information stored in the gaming RAM 104 is lost. Further, a RAM initialization command for initializing the effect RAM 124 and the like on the effect control board 120 side is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104. Besides, in S001, for example, setting of stack, setting of constant, setting of interrupt time, setting of CPU, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  After S001, the gaming control microcomputer 101 prohibits an interrupt (S002). Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 updates the values of various random numbers (S003). Specifically, in S003, the gaming control microcomputer 101 updates the values of various random numbers of the big hit random number, the big hit type random number, the reach random number, the variation pattern random number, the normal hit random number, the normal symbol random number, and the common type random number. As a method of updating random numbers, for example, a predetermined number of values are added in one update. The predetermined number may be common to all the random numbers, or may be different for each random number. The value of the random number returns to 0 when the upper limit is reached. Also, the initial value of the random number may be 0 or a value other than 0. Further, the initial value of the random number may be common to all the random numbers, or may be different for each random number . Further, at least a part of each random number may be a hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like. If all the random numbers are hardware random numbers, there is no need to update the random numbers by software. Also, the random number generation circuit may be built in the game control microcomputer 101.

  After S003, the gaming control microcomputer 101 permits an interrupt (S004). Thereafter, S002 to S004 are repeated. While the interruption is permitted, the execution of the game side timer interruption process (S005) becomes possible. The game timer interrupt process is executed, for example, based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the game CPU 102 in a cycle of 4 ms. When the game timer interrupt process is executed, the processes of S002 to S004 are repeated from the end of the game timer interrupt process to the start of the next game timer interrupt process. . When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the execution of the game timer interrupt process is not started immediately, but is waited until the interrupt enabled state is entered.

[Game side timer interrupt processing]
Next, the game-side timer interrupt process of S005 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The game timer interrupt process is executed by the game control microcomputer 101 each time an interrupt pulse of 4 ms cycle is input.

  In the game-side timer interrupt process, the game control microcomputer 101 first sets the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 to the effect control board 120, the payout control board 170, etc., other than the game control board 100 in the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Output to the device (S101). Commands are appropriately set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 by various processes described later.

  After S101, the gaming control microcomputer 101 updates the information related to the payout (S102). Specifically, in S102, the microcomputer 101 for game control, the first starting opening sensor 11a, the second starting opening sensor 12a, the first large winning opening sensor 14a, the second large winning opening sensor 15a, the general winning opening sensor 10a, specific Based on the signals output from various sensors such as the area sensor 16a, the presence or absence of winning is determined, and a payout command instructing payout of a winning ball according to the type of winning opening is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 Do.

  After S102, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a sensor detection process for detecting an entrance to a starting opening or the like based on signals output from various sensors (S111). Details of S111 will be described later.

  After S111, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a normal operation process which is an operation related to the normal symbol and the auxiliary game (S121). Details of S121 will be described later. After S121, the game control microcomputer 101 executes special operation processing which is an operation related to the special symbol and the special game (S131). Details of S131 will be described later.

  After S131, the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes a distribution operation process which is an operation related to the distribution member 16k (S141). Details of S141 will be described later. After S141, the microcomputer for game control 101 displays the special view reserve display 83 and the general view reserve display based on the respective reserve numbers of the regular view reserve number, the first special view reserve number, and the second special view reserve number. The display 84 is updated (S161).

  After S161, the gaming control microcomputer 101 outputs various signals via the external output terminal board 173 based on the command set in the external output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S171). For example, when the jackpot is won by the jackpot lottery, the gaming control microcomputer 101 outputs a jackpot signal to the external device.

  After S171, the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes a power-off monitoring process for turning off the main power normally (S181). Specifically, at S181, when detecting that the power switch 191 is turned off, the game control microcomputer 101 stores information indicating that the main power is normally turned off in the gaming RAM 104. Then, access to the game RAM 104 is restricted. After S181, the game timer interrupt processing ends.

  Thereafter, the game control microcomputer 101 repeats the processing of S002 to S004 of the game side start processing until the next interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102, and when the interrupt pulse is input, the game timer interrupt is performed again. Execute the process In S101 of the game-side timer interrupt process executed again, the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous game-side timer interrupt process is output.

[Sensor detection processing]
Next, the sensor detection process of S111 of FIG. 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the sensor detection process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the gaming ball has passed the gate 13 based on the signals output from the first gate sensor 13La and the second gate sensor 13Ra (S201) . If the gaming ball has passed the gate 13 (S201: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the number of general drawing reservations is less than four (S202).

  If the number of common drawing reservations is less than 4 (S202: YES), the microcomputer 101 for game control adds one to the number of common drawing reservations (S203), and furthermore, the normal symbol random number and the common type random number per common drawing. It acquires (S204). The gaming control microcomputer 101 stores the various random numbers acquired, together with the winning counter value, in the common drawing reserve storage unit 106. That is, even if the gaming ball passes through the first gate 13L or passes through the second gate 13R, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 passes the normal drawing reserve storage unit 106 in order without distinction. Store the hold and add 1 to the number of general drawing hold.

  After S204, or when the number of general drawing reservations is four or more (S202: NO), or when the gaming ball has not passed through the gate 13 (S201: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs the first start Based on the signal output from the mouth sensor 11a, it is determined whether the gaming ball has entered the first start hole 11 (S211). If the gaming ball has entered the first starting opening 11 (S211: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the number of first special view reservations is less than four (S212).

  If the number of first special drawing reservations is less than 4 (S212: YES), the microcomputer 101 for gaming control adds 1 to each of the first special drawing reservation numbers and the winning counter value (S213), and further the jackpot random number The value of each random number regarding the jackpot of the jackpot type random number, the reach random number, and the variation pattern random number is acquired (S214). The game control microcomputer 101 stores the acquired random numbers together with the winning counter value in the first special image storage unit 105a.

  After S214, the game control microcomputer 101 refers to the start winning command determination table shown in FIG. 31 and specifies the first start winning command based on the value of each random number acquired in S214, and the first start winning A command is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S215). For example, if the jackpot random number is “1”, the jackpot type random number is “1”, the reach random number is “1”, and the change pattern random number is “1”, the first start winning command is "C03" is identified. The distribution of each random number in the start winning command determination table corresponds to the distribution of each table shown in FIGS. 8 and 10. Therefore, the first start winning command includes each information of jackpot success or failure, jackpot type, reach presence, fluctuation time, and whether or not SP reach is to be performed.

  The first start winning command set in the output buffer is transmitted to the effect control board 120 in S101 of the game-side timer interrupt process. That is, before variable display of the special symbol corresponding to the random number acquired in S214 is started, a command including information related to the special symbol is output to the effect control board 120. The effect control microcomputer 121 of the effect control board 120 executes processing corresponding to the command in response to the input of the command.

  After S215, or when the number of the first special view reservation is four or more (S212: NO), or when the gaming ball is not entering the first starting opening 11 (S211: NO), the gaming control microcomputer The CPU 101 determines whether the gaming ball has entered the second starting opening 12 based on a signal output from the second starting opening sensor 12a (S221). If the gaming ball has entered the second starting opening 12 (S221: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the number of second special view reservations is less than four (S222).

  If the number of the second special view reserve is less than 4 (S222: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 adds 1 to each of the second special view reserve number and the winning counter value (S223), and further, with S214. Similarly, the value of each random number regarding the jackpot is acquired (S224). The game control microcomputer 101 stores the acquired random numbers together with the winning counter value in the second special image storage unit 105b.

  After S224, the microcomputer 101 for game control refers to the start winning command determination table shown in FIG. 31 as in the case of passing the second starting opening 12 of the gaming ball, and sets the value of each random number acquired in S224. Based on the second start winning command is specified, the second start winning command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 (S225). As a result, as in the case of S215, a command including information related to the special symbol is output to the effect control board 120 before variable display of the special symbol corresponding to the random number acquired in S224 is started.

  After S225, or when the number of the second special view is four or more (S222: NO), or when the gaming ball has not passed through the second starting opening 12 (S221: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 It is determined whether the gaming ball has passed the specific area 16 based on the signal output from the specific area sensor 16a (S251). If the gaming ball has passed through the specific area 16 (S251: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not it is within the V effective period (S252). The V effective period is a period for not detecting the passage of the gaming ball to the specific area 16 at an unexpected timing, and is a period set for a constant operation of the distributing member 16k.

  If it is within the V effective period (S252: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns on the V flag (S253), and sets a V passage command in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S254). The V flag is used to determine the passage of the gaming ball to the specific area 16. The V passage command set in the output buffer is transmitted to the effect control board 120 in S101 of the game timer interrupt process. In response to the input of the command, the effect control microcomputer 121 of the effect control board 120 executes a process corresponding to the command.

  After S254, or outside the range of the V effective period (S252: NO), or when the gaming ball has not passed the specific area 16 (S251: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 ends the sensor detection process. Do.

[Normal operation processing]
Next, the normal operation processing of S121 of FIG. 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The gaming control microcomputer 101 divides the processing relating to the common drawing display 82 and the electric chow 12D into four stages, and assigns "normal operation status 1, 2, 3, 4" to each of these stages. The initial value of the normal operation status is 1, meaning that neither the variable display of the normal symbol nor the auxiliary game is played. The normal operation status of 2 means that the variation display of the normal symbol is in progress. The normal operation status of 3 means that the normal symbol is being stopped and the determination time has not elapsed. The normal operation status 4 means that an auxiliary game is in progress.

  In the normal operation process, the game control microcomputer 101 first determines whether or not the normal operation status is 1 (S301), 2 (S311), and 3 (S311) in order to determine the status of the general-purpose display 82 and the power controller 12D. It is determined whether or not (S321), and it is determined which status corresponds to the current status.

  Then, if the normal operation status is 1 (S301: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes the normal symbol standby process (S302). If the normal operation status is 2 (S311: YES), processing is performed during normal symbol variation (S312). If the normal operation status is 3 (S321: YES), the normal symbol determination process is executed (S322). On the other hand, if the first special operation status is 4 (S321: NO), the auxiliary game process is executed (S332).

[Normal pattern standby process]
Next, the normal symbol standby process of S302 of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the normal symbol standby process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether or not the number of common drawing reservations is 0, that is, whether or not there is a storage of common drawing reservation lottery information (normal symbol random numbers and normal hit type random numbers). It judges (S401). If the number of common drawing reservations is 0 (S401: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 ends the normal symbol standby process.

  On the other hand, if the number of common drawing reservations is not 0 (S401: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 normally determines whether or not the winning of the common drawing is won for the common drawing reservation stored first. A symbol determination process is executed (S411).

  FIG. 34 shows the procedure of the normal symbol determination process of S411. In the normal symbol determination process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first reads out the common drawing reserve stored first from the common drawing reserve storage unit 106 as a determination value (S501). Specifically, in S501, the value of each random number corresponding to the general drawing reserve stored in the general drawing reserve storage unit 106 is read out.

  After S501, the gaming control microcomputer 101 uses the normal symbol determination table shown in FIG. 6A to determine the normal symbol based on the read normal symbol random number (S502). After S502, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the normal winning is won based on the determination result in S502 (S511).

  If the normal winning is won (S511: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns on the common drawing hit flag (S512). The per-game-per-flag flag is used to determine whether or not the player is normally hit. After S512, the gaming control microcomputer 101 uses the normal symbol type table shown in FIG. 6B to determine the type of the normal hit symbol based on the read normal hit type random number (S513). After S513, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines a stop symbol according to the determination result of S513 (S514), and ends the normal symbol determination process.

  If the normal symbol has not been won (S511: NO), that is, if it is a loss (S511: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines a stop symbol according to the loss (S521), and the normal symbol determination process Finish.

  Returning to the explanation of FIG. 33, after S411, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol (S412). As shown in FIG. 6 (B), the variation pattern of the normal symbol differs depending on whether the gaming state is short or short. In addition, the variation pattern of the normal symbol differs depending on whether it is a hit or a loss, and in the case of a hit, it also varies depending on the type of the normal symbol.

  After S412, the gaming control microcomputer 101 subtracts one from the number of general drawing suspension (S413). Then, the general drawing reserve storage unit 106 shifts each general drawing reserve data from the current storage area to the storage area on the high priority side of reading, and shifts the storage area of the last shift source to the initial stage. (S414). In this way, the general drawing reserve is digested in the stored order.

  After S414, the gaming control microcomputer 101 starts the fluctuation display of the normal symbol on the common drawing display 82 in accordance with the fluctuation pattern determined in S412 (S415). Further, the microcomputer for game control 101 sets a variation start command of the normal symbol in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 (S416). The normal symbol variation start command includes information on stop symbol data and information on variation patterns. The variation start command of the normal symbol is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes the effect according to the change start command. After S416, the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the normal operation status to 2 (S417), and ends the normal symbol standby process.

[Process during normal symbol change]
Next, the normal symbol changing process of S312 of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the normal symbol change processing, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether a normal symbol change time has elapsed (S601). The variation time of the normal symbol is determined by the variation pattern determined in S412 of the normal symbol standby process described above. If the variation time of the normal symbol has not elapsed (S601: NO), the normal symbol variation processing is ended. That is, the variable display of the normal symbol is continued.

  On the other hand, when the variation time of the normal symbol has passed (S601: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets the variation stop command of the normal symbol in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S602). The change stop command is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes an effect corresponding to the change stop command. After S602, the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the normal operation status to 3 (S603).

  After S603, the gaming control microcomputer 101 causes the common pattern display 82 to stop the variable display of the normal symbol (S604). Then, the game control microcomputer 101 sets a determination time for causing the normal symbol to be stopped and displayed for a predetermined time (S605), and the normal symbol variation in progress processing is ended.

[Normal pattern confirmation process]
Next, the normal symbol determination process of S322 of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the normal symbol determination process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether or not the fixed time set in S605 of the normal symbol variation process described above has elapsed (S701). If the determination time has not elapsed (S701: NO), the normal symbol determination process is ended.

  If the determined time has elapsed (S701: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the normal hit flag is on or not, that is, whether or not the normal symbol is hit (S711). If the normal hit flag is on (S711: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the normal operation status to 4 (S712).

  After S712, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets an auxiliary gaming start command in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S721). The auxiliary game start command set in the output buffer is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes processing according to the command.

  After S721, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines an opening pattern (see FIG. 7) according to the gaming state for the second starting opening 12 (S722). Furthermore, the microcomputer 101 for game control sets the value of the counter of the auxiliary game for counting the number of times of opening of the second starting opening 12 in the auxiliary game to a value according to the game state (S723). In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, 1 is set to the counter value because the second starting port 12 is opened once if the non-time-short state, and the second starting port 12 is opened twice if the time-saving state Therefore, 2 is set to the counter value. After S723, the gaming control microcomputer 101 starts counting the opening time of the auxiliary game (S724). That is, the auxiliary game is started. After S724, the normal symbol determination process is ended.

  On the other hand, if the normal hit flag is not on (S711: NO), the determination of the normal symbol is lost and the auxiliary game is not executed, so the game control microcomputer 101 changes the normal operation status to 1 (S751). ). After S751, the normal symbol determination process is ended.

[Auxiliary game processing]
Next, the auxiliary game process of S332 of FIG. 32 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the auxiliary game process, the microcomputer 101 for game control first determines whether the auxiliary game end flag is on (S801). The auxiliary game end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the second starting opening 12 accompanied by the auxiliary game is ended, and is off at the start of the auxiliary game.

  If the auxiliary game end flag is off (S801: NO), the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether the second starting port 12 is open (S811). In the auxiliary game, since the electric chute 12D is operated to open the second starting opening 12 a predetermined number of times (see FIG. 7), in S811, the second starting opening 12 is opened, that is, the electric chewing 12D is in operation It will be judged whether or not.

  If the second start opening 12 is not opened (S811: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether it is time to open the second start opening 12 (S812). Specifically, in S812, the microcomputer 101 for game control ends the opening of the auxiliary game and it is time to start opening the first second starting opening 12 or an interval time has elapsed from the end of the previous opening. Then, it is determined whether it is time to start the opening of the second start port 12 or not.

  If it is time to open the second start opening 12 (S812: YES), the microcomputer 101 for gaming control follows the second start opening 12 in accordance with the open pattern set in S722 of the above-described normal symbol determination process. Open it (S813). After S813, or if it is not time to open the second starting opening 12 (S812: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 ends the auxiliary gaming process.

  On the other hand, if the second start opening 12 is opened (S811: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the closing condition of the second start opening 12 is satisfied (S821). The closing condition of the second starting opening 12 includes that the number of winning of the game ball in the second starting opening 12 is equal to or more than the predetermined maximum winning number, and that the opening time according to the set opening pattern has elapsed. When at least one of these conditions is satisfied, the game control microcomputer 101 determines that the closing condition of the second start opening 12 is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the maximum winning number is four. If the closing condition of the second starting opening 12 is not satisfied (S 821: NO), the auxiliary game processing is ended. That is, the opening of the second start port 12 is continued.

  If the closing condition of the second start opening 12 is satisfied (S 821: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 closes the second start opening 12 (S 822). After S822, the gaming control microcomputer 101 subtracts one from the opening counter of the second starting opening 12 (S823). Then, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether the open counter of the second start opening 12 has become 0 (S 831).

  When the opening counter of the second starting opening 12 becomes 0 (S831: YES), the game control microcomputer 101 starts counting the ending time of the auxiliary game (S832). After S832, the game control microcomputer 101 turns on the auxiliary game end flag (S833), and ends the auxiliary game process. Moreover, when the opening counter of the 2nd starting opening 12 is not 0 (S831: NO), auxiliary game is continuing and for the next opening of the 2nd starting opening 12, it is assistance without performing S832-S833. End the game processing.

  On the other hand, if the auxiliary game end flag is on (S801: YES), all the opening of the second starting opening 12 in the auxiliary game is ended, and since ending is started, the microcomputer 101 for game control has an ending time It is determined whether or not (S841). If the ending time has passed (S841: YES), the game control microcomputer 101 turns off the auxiliary game end flag (S842), turns off the normal hit flag (S843), and changes the normal operation status to 1 (S844). After S844, the gaming control microcomputer 101 ends the auxiliary gaming process.

[Special operation processing]
Next, the special operation processing of S131 of FIG. 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The game control microcomputer 101 divides the processing relating to the special view display 81, the first big winning device 14D, and the second big winning device 15D into four stages, and , 4, 5 "is assigned. The initial value of the special operation status is 1, which means that neither the variation display of the special symbol nor the jackpot game is performed. The special operation status of 2 means that the special symbol is being displayed in a fluctuating manner. The special operation status of 3 means that the special symbol is in the stop display and the determination time has not elapsed. The special operation status of 4 means that the jackpot has been decided and the jackpot game is in progress, and the special operation status of 5 means that the jackpot of the small hit is confirmed and the jackpot is in progress Do.

  In the special operation process, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether the first special operation status is 1 or not (S901), 2 or not (S911), 3 or not (S921), 4 or not (S931), And determine which status it currently corresponds to.

  Then, if the special operation status is 1 (S901: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes the special symbol standby process (S902). If the special operation status is 2 (S911: YES), processing is performed during special symbol variation (S912). If the special operation status is 3 (S921: YES), special symbol determination processing is executed (S922). If the special operation status is 4 (S931: YES), the jackpot game processing is executed (S932). On the other hand, if the special operation status is 5 (S931: NO), the small hitting game processing is executed (S942).

[Special symbol standby process]
FIG. 39 shows the procedure of special symbol standby processing of S902 in FIG. In the special symbol standby process, the game control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the number of second special view reservations is 0, that is, whether or not there is storage of lottery information (such as a jackpot random number) related to the second special view suspension. Is determined (S1001). If the number of second special view reservations is 0 (S1001: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the number of first special views suspension is 0 or not (S1020). That is, the game control microcomputer 101 gives priority to the processing relating to the second special view suspension over the processing relating to the first special map suspension.

  If the number of first special image reservations is also 0 (S1020: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the customer waiting effect is started (S1031). The customer waiting effect is an effect that causes the image display device 50 to display a plurality of standby screens and demonstration images in the standby state. If the customer waiting effect is started (S1031: YES), the special symbol standby process is ended.

  If the customer waiting effect has not been started (S1031: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets a customer waiting standby command for starting the customer waiting effect in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S1032). The wait for customer waiting command set in the output buffer is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes processing according to the command. After S1032, the special symbol standby process is ended.

  On the other hand, if the number of second special drawing reservations is not 0 (S1001: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the jackpot has been won for the second special drawing reservation stored first. The jackpot determination process is executed (S1011).

  FIG. 40 shows the procedure of the jackpot determination process of S1011. In the jackpot determination process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first reads the second special view reserve stored first from the second special view reserve storage unit 105b as a determination value (S1101). Specifically, in S1101, the value of each random number of the big hit random number, the big hit type random number, the reach random number, and the variation pattern random number is read out.

  After S1101, the gaming control microcomputer 101 uses the jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 8A to make a judgment of jackpot, jackpot, or loss based on the read jackpot random number (S1102). The special view 1 and the special view 2 are provided with separate jackpot determination tables, and in S1102, determination is performed using the jackpot determination tables corresponding to each. After S1102, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the jackpot has been won based on the determination result in S1102 (S1111).

  If the jackpot is won (S1111: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns on the jackpot flag (S1112). The jackpot flag is used to determine whether or not a jackpot has been won. After S1112, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines the type of jackpot based on the read jackpot type random number using the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 8B (S1113). After S1113, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines the stop symbol of the jackpot according to the determination result of S1113 (S1114), and ends the jackpot determination process.

  If the jackpot has not been won (S1111: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the small hit is won based on the determination result in S1102 (S1121). When the small winning is won (S1121: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns on the small hitting flag (S1122). The small hit flag is used to determine whether or not a small hit has been won. After S1122, the gaming control microcomputer 101 uses the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 8B to determine the type of small hit based on the read jackpot type random number (S1123). In addition, you may provide separately the table for classification determination by big hit and small hit. After S1123, the microcomputer 101 for game control determines small stop symbol data corresponding to the small hit type (S1124), and ends the big hit determination process.

  On the other hand, if the small hit is not won, that is, if there is a loss (S1121: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines the stop symbol data of the loss (S1131), ends the jackpot determination process, and waits for the special symbol. Return to

  Returning to the explanation of FIG. 39, after S1011, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines the variation pattern of the special symbol based on the variation pattern random number and the reach random number in addition to the big hit random number and the big hit type random number (S1012). Specifically, in S1012, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines a variation pattern according to the gaming state, using the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, when the variation pattern is determined, the variation display time of the special symbol is also determined.

  After S1012, the microcomputer for game control 101 subtracts one from the number of the second special view reserve (S1014). At this time, the microcomputer 101 for gaming control shifts one data of each special view reserve in the second special view reserve storage unit 105b from the current storage area to the storage area on the side with higher priority of reading, and finally shifts it. The shift source storage area is initialized (S1015). Thereby, it is digested in the order in which the 2nd Tokusetsu reservation was suspended.

  After S1015, the gaming control microcomputer 101 causes the second special view display 81b to start the variation display of the special symbol according to the variation pattern determined in S1012 (S1016). At this time, the game control microcomputer 101 sets a change start command in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 (S1017). The fluctuation start command includes information on stop symbol data and information on fluctuation patterns (information including fluctuation display time). The change start command is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes an effect corresponding to the change start command. After S1017, the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the special operation status to 2 (S1018), and ends the special symbol standby process.

  On the other hand, if the number of second special view reservations is 0 (S1001: YES) and the number of first special view reservations is not 0 (S1020: NO), the microcomputer 101 for gaming control holds the second special view suspension. Similarly to the case, a jackpot determination process of determining whether or not a jackpot has been won is executed (S1021). S1021 is processing similar to S1011, but each random number is read from the first special image storage section 105a.

  After S1021, the microcomputer for game control 101 determines a fluctuation pattern based on various random numbers and the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 10 (S1022). After S1022, the microcomputer for game control 101 subtracts one from the number of the first special view reserve (S1024). At this time, the microcomputer 101 for gaming control shifts one data of each special view reserve in the first special view reserve storage unit 105a from the current storage area to the storage area on the side with higher priority of reading, and finally shifts it. The source storage area of the shift source is initialized (S1025). Thereby, it is digested in the order in which the first Tokusetsu retention was suspended.

  After S1025, the gaming control microcomputer 101 causes the first special view display 81a to start the variation display of the special symbol according to the variation pattern determined in S1022 (S1026). At this time, the game control microcomputer 101 sets a change start command in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 (S1027), as in S1016. After S1027, the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the special operation status to 2 (S1018), and ends the special symbol standby process.

[Process during special symbol change]
FIG. 41 shows the procedure of the special symbol variation middle process of S912 of FIG. In the special symbol variation processing, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the variation time of the special symbol has passed (S1501). The variation time of the special symbol is determined by the variation pattern determined in S1012 or S1022 of the special symbol standby process described above. If the variation time of the special symbol has not elapsed (S1501: NO), the special symbol variation processing is ended. That is, the variable display of the special symbol is continued.

  On the other hand, when the variation time of the special symbol has passed (S1501: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets the variation suspension command of the special symbol in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S1502). The change start command of the special symbol includes information of either the special figure 1 or the special figure 2. The change stop command is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes an effect corresponding to the change stop command. After S1502, the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the special operation status to 3 (S1503).

  After S1503, the gaming control microcomputer 101 causes the special view display 81 to stop the variable display of the special symbol (S1504). Then, the game control microcomputer 101 sets a determination time for stopping and displaying the special symbol for a predetermined time (S1505), and ends the special symbol variation in progress processing.

[Special symbol confirmation process]
FIG. 42 shows the procedure of the special symbol determination process of S922 in FIG. In the special symbol determination process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the determined time set in S1505 of the special symbol variation processing described above has elapsed (S1601). If the determination time has not elapsed (S1601: NO), the special symbol determination process is ended.

  If the determined time has elapsed (S1601: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 executes gaming state management processing for managing the gaming state (S1602). FIG. 43 shows the procedure of the gaming state management process.

  In the gaming state management process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the time saving flag is on (S1701). The time saving flag is a flag indicating whether or not the gaming state is the time saving state, and is turned on when the gaming state is the time saving state, and is turned off when the gaming state is the non-time short state. If the time saving flag is on (S1701: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the variable display of the first special symbol has been performed (S1702). And when the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is performed (S1702: YES), the first time counter is decremented by one (S1703), and the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is performed (S1702) S1702: NO) The second short time counter is decremented by one (S1704). The first time short counter indicates the remaining number of times the variable display of the first special symbol can be executed in the short time state, and the second time short counter is the remaining number of times the variable display of the second special symbol can be performed in the time short state Is an indicator of Then, each time the variable display (lottery lottery) of each special symbol is performed in the time saving state, the time reduction counter corresponding to the special symbol is decremented by one.

  After S1703 or S1704, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not one of the first time counter and the second time counter has become 0 (S1711). If the value of the first short time counter or the second short time counter is 0 (S1711: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns off the short time flag in order to end the short time state (S1712). After S1712, or if neither the first time short counter nor the second time short counter is 0 (S1711: NO), the gaming state management process is ended.

  Returning to the explanation of FIG. 42, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is on, that is, whether or not the jackpot has been won (S1611). If the jackpot flag is on (S1611: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the special operation status to 4 (S1612). Then, the game control microcomputer 101 turns off the time saving flag (S1614), and sets the gaming state to the non-time-short state. Thereby, during the execution of the jackpot game described later, it is controlled as a non-short time state. That is, during the execution of the jackpot game, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in the low base state.

  After S1614, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets the jackpot opening command in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 to start the jackpot game (S1621). The opening command set in the output buffer is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes processing according to the command.

  After S1621, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines an opening pattern (see FIG. 9) according to the type of the big hit for the big winning opening (S1622). Further, the game control microcomputer 101 sets the value of the counter for counting the number of times of opening of the big winning opening in the big hit game to a value according to the type of big hit (S1623). In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the counter value is set to 16 because the first large winning opening 14 is opened 16 times in the case of "16R hour short 4 times big hit". In the case of "9R time reduction 9 times big hit", the counter value is set to 9 because the first big winning opening 14 is opened 9 times. In the case of "5R time reduction 4 times big hit", 5 is set to the counter value because the first big winning opening 14 is opened 5 times. In the case of "4R time reduction one time big hit", 4 is set to the counter value because the first big winning opening 14 is opened four times. After S1623, the gaming control microcomputer 101 starts counting the opening time of the jackpot game (S1624). That is, the jackpot game is started. After S1624, the special symbol determination process is ended.

  On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not on (S1611: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the small hit flag is on, that is, whether or not the small hit is won (S1631). If the small hit flag is on (S1631: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 changes the special operation status to 5 (S1632).

  After S1632, in order to start the small hitting game, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets a small hitting opening command in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S1641). The opening command set in the output buffer is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes processing according to the command.

  After S1641, the microcomputer 101 for game control determines an open pattern (see FIG. 9) according to the type of small hit for the big winning opening (S1642). Further, the game control microcomputer 101 sets the value of the counter for counting the number of times of opening of the big winning opening in the small hitting game to a value according to the type of the small hitting (S1643). In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, if the kind of small hit is "15 R time short 4 times small hit", the game ball enters the specific area 16 when the second large winning opening 15 is opened once and the second large winning opening 15 is opened. If it passes, the first big winning opening 14 is subsequently opened 15 times, so the big winning opening will be opened up to 16 times. That is, 16 which is the opening frequency of the big winning a prize mouth of the sum total of small hitting game and 2 types of big hit games is set to the counter value. If it is "8 R time small 4 small hits", if the game ball passes the specific area 16 at the time of opening the second big winning opening 15 once and further the second big winning opening 15, then the first big winning Since the mouth 14 is opened eight times, 9 which is the number of times of opening of the large winning opening of the sum of the small hitting game and the two types of big hit games is set as the counter value. If it is "4 R time 4 short hits", if the game ball passes the specific area 16 at the time of opening of the second big winning opening 15 once and the second big winning opening 15 further, the first big winning is continued Since the mouth 14 is opened four times, 5 which is the number of times of opening of the large winning opening of the sum of the small hitting game and the two types of big hit games is set as the counter value. After S1643, the gaming control microcomputer 101 starts counting the opening time of the small hitting game (S1644).

  After S1644, the game control microcomputer 101 turns on the distribution operation flag (S1645). The distribution operation flag is a flag indicating that it is a period for operating the distribution member 16k. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 starts the operation of the distribution member 16k in conjunction with the small hitting game. After S1645, the special symbol determination process is ended.

  On the other hand, if the small hit flag is not on (S1631: NO), the player wins the loss, and neither the big hit game nor the small hit game is executed, so the game control microcomputer 101 changes the special operation status to 1. (S1651). After S1651, the special symbol determination process is ended.

[Big win game processing]
FIG. 44 shows the procedure of the jackpot game processing of S932 of FIG. In the jackpot game processing, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the jackpot end flag is on (S2001). The big hit end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the big winning opening accompanying the big hit game is finished, and is off at the start of the big hit game.

  If the big hit end flag is off (S2001: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the big winning opening is open (S2011). In the jackpot game, since the first large winning opening 14 is opened according to the number of rounds (see FIG. 9), it is determined in S2011 whether the large winning opening corresponding to the number of rounds is open. The number of rounds is determined by the total number of rounds and the value of the opening counter of the big winning opening.

  If the special winning opening is not opened (S2011: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether it is time to open the special winning opening (S2012). Specifically, in S2012, the game control microcomputer 101 ends the opening of the jackpot game and it is time to start opening the big winning opening corresponding to the first round, or from the previous opening end of the big winning opening It is determined whether the interval time has passed and it is time to start opening the big winning opening corresponding to the current round.

  If it is time to open the special winning opening (S2012: YES), it is time to open the game control microcomputer 101 according to the opening pattern set in S1622 or S1642 of the special symbol determination process described above. The big winning opening is opened (S2015). After S2015, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets a round command in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 (S2016). The round command set in the output buffer is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes processing according to the command. As a result, the round number in the jackpot game is notified. After S2016, or if it is not time to open the big winning opening (S2012: NO), the jackpot game processing is ended.

  On the other hand, if the special winning opening is open (S2011: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the closing condition of the special winning opening is satisfied (S2021). The blockage condition of the special winning opening includes that the number of winning of the game ball to the special winning opening is equal to or more than the predetermined maximum winning number, and that the opening time according to the set opening pattern has elapsed. When at least one of these conditions is satisfied, the game control microcomputer 101 determines that the closing condition of the special winning opening is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the maximum winning number is eight. When the closing condition of the big winning opening is not satisfied (S2021: NO), the jackpot game processing is ended. That is, the opening of the special winning opening is continued.

  If the closing condition of the special winning opening is satisfied (S2021: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 closes the special winning opening which satisfies the closing condition (S2022). After S2022, the gaming control microcomputer 101 subtracts one from the opening counter of the special winning opening (S2023). Then, the microcomputer 101 for game control determines whether or not the opening counter of the special winning opening has become 0 (S2031).

  When the opening counter of the big winning opening becomes 0 (S2031: YES), the game control microcomputer 101 sets the ending command of the big hit in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 to end the big hit game (S2032) . The ending command set in the output buffer is output to the effect control board 120, and the effect control board 120 executes processing according to the command. In this way, the end of the jackpot game will be started.

  After S2032, the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns on the jackpot end flag (S2033), and starts counting the ending time of the jackpot game (S2034). After S2034, the jackpot game processing ends. In addition, when the opening counter of the big winning a prize opening is not 0 (S2031: NO), the big hit game is continuing, it does not do S2032-S2034 for the next opening of the big winning a prize mouth, it ends big hit game processing Do.

  On the other hand, if the big hit end flag is on (S2001: YES), all the opening of the big winning opening in the big hit game is finished, and ending is started, so the gaming control microcomputer 101 passes the ending time. It is determined whether or not it has been made (S2041). If the ending time has passed (S2041: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns off the big hit end flag (S2042), turns off the big hit flag (S2043), and changes the special operation status to 1 ( S2044).

  After S2044, the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns on the time saving flag (S2045). In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this form, the game state shifts to the short time state at all after the big hit game, but if the big hit where the game state does not shift to the short time state is provided, the type of the big hit is determined, The time saving flag is turned on on the condition that the time saving state is a jackpot to shift.

  After S2045, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets the first time-short counter and the second time-short counter according to the jackpot type (S2046). Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the number of time reductions of the first special symbol differs depending on whether the jackpot game is due to the first special symbol or the second special symbol. If the jackpot game is due to the first special symbol, set 5 to the first time counter, and if the jackpot game is due to the second special symbol, set 8 to the first time counter. Also, if the jackpot type is "4R hour short one big hit", 1 is set to the second time short counter, and otherwise 4 is set to the second time short counter. Thereby, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 plays the game in the time-saving state until the jackpot wins next time or until any one of the first time-shorting counter and the second time-shorting counter becomes 0 without winning the jackpot. to enable. After S2046, the jackpot gaming process ends.

[Small hit game processing]
45 and 46 show the procedure of the small hitting game process of S942 of FIG. In the small hitting game process, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the small hitting end flag is on (S2301). The small hit end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the large winning opening associated with the small hit game is ended, and is off at the start of the small hit game.

  If the small hit end flag is off (S2301: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the big winning opening is open (S2311). In the small hit game, since the second large winning opening 15 is opened, it is determined in S2311 whether the second large winning opening 15 is open.

  If the special winning opening has not been opened (S2311: NO), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether it is time to open the special winning opening (S2312). Specifically, in S2312, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not it is time to start opening the second large winning opening 15 after the opening of the small hitting game has ended. In addition, in this form, in order to open the 2nd big winning opening 15 of only 1R about one small hitting game, it is not necessary to judge the lapse of the interval time from the last opening end, but plural R When opening the second big winning opening 15, it is also determined that the interval time has elapsed.

  If it is time to open the big winning opening (S2312: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 opens the big winning opening that is the time to open according to the opening pattern of the large winning opening being set ( S2313). That is, in the present embodiment, the second big winning opening 15 is opened. After S2313, or if it is not time to open the big winning opening (S2312: NO), small hitting game processing is ended.

  On the other hand, if the special winning opening is opened (S2311: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the closing condition of the special winning opening is satisfied (S2321). In the blockage condition of the big winning opening, as in the case of S2021, the number of winning game balls to the big winning opening is equal to or more than the predetermined maximum winning number, and the opening time according to the opening pattern of the big winning opening set has passed. , Is included. In the present embodiment, the maximum winning number is eight. When at least one of these conditions is satisfied, the game control microcomputer 101 determines that the closing condition of the big winning opening is satisfied. If the closing condition of the special winning opening is not satisfied (S2321: NO), the small hitting game processing is ended. That is, the opening of the special winning opening is continued.

  If the closing condition of the special winning opening is satisfied (S2321: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 closes the special winning opening which satisfies the closing condition (S2322). That is, in the present embodiment, the second large winning opening 15 is closed. After S2322, the gaming control microcomputer 101 subtracts one from the opening counter of the special winning opening (S2323). Then, the game control microcomputer 101 turns on the small hitting end flag (S2324), and ends the small hitting game processing. In the case of opening the plurality of R second big winning openings 15, the small hit end flag is turned on on the condition that the opening counter has reached a predetermined number.

  On the other hand, if the small hitting end flag is on (S2301: YES), since all the opening of the big winning opening in the small hitting game is finished, the gaming control microcomputer 101 closes the big winning opening It is determined whether or not an interval time for starting a two-type jackpot game has passed (S2331). If the interval time has not elapsed (S2331: NO), the small hitting game processing is ended. If the interval time has elapsed (S2331: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns off the small hitting end flag (S2332), and turns off the small hitting flag (S2333).

  After S2333, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the V flag is on (S2341). The V flag is a flag indicating whether the gaming ball has passed through the specific area 16 and is turned on when it is detected that the gaming ball has passed through the specific area 16.

  If the V flag is off (S2341: NO), the two-type big hit game is not executed, so the microcomputer for game control 101 sets the value of the opening counter of the big winning opening to 0 (S2361). Further, the game control microcomputer 101 changes the special operation status to 1 (S2362), and ends the small hitting game processing. That is, the opening of the first large winning opening 14 after the second R is not executed, and only the first R is executed to end the game regarding the small hit.

  If the V flag is on (S2341: YES), it is necessary to execute two types of jackpot games, so the microcomputer for game control 101 turns on the jackpot flag (S2342), and further changes the special operation status to 4. (S2343). Further, the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns off the V flag (S2344).

  After S2344, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the time saving flag is on (S2346). If the time saving flag is on (S2346: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns off the time saving flag (S2347). As a result, during the execution of the jackpot game, it is controlled as a non-short time state.

  After S2347, or if the time saving flag is off (S2346: NO), the microcomputer 101 for game control sets the opening command of the big hit in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 to start the big hit game of the two types ( S2351). In S2351, in addition to the opening command, a right-handed command is also set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104. As a result, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 shifts from a small hit game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened to a two-type big hit game in which the first large winning opening 14 is opened. That is, opening of the first large winning opening 14 after the second R is performed. The opening pattern of the first special winning opening 14 uses the opening pattern set in S1642 of the special symbol determination process. After S2351, the small hitting game processing ends.

[Distribution operation processing]
Next, the distribution operation process of S141 of FIG. 29 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the distribution operation processing, the gaming control microcomputer 101 first determines whether the distribution operation flag is on (S2501). The distribution operation flag is a flag indicating that it is a period for operating the distribution member 16k, and is turned on when a small hit is won in the jackpot lottery. If the distribution operation flag is off (S2501: NO), the distribution operation processing is ended.

  If the distribution operation flag is on (S2501: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 starts the operation of the distribution member 16k in accordance with a predetermined pattern (S2502). Further, the gaming control microcomputer 101 sets the V effective period (S2503).

  Specifically, in S2502, the game control microcomputer 101 sets a timer for measuring the operation period of the distributing member 16k, and turns on the distributing solenoid 16s in response to the opening timing of the distributing member 16k. The distribution solenoid 16s is turned off in response to the closing timing of the distribution member 16k. Thus, the distributing member 16k performs a certain operation from the start of the opening of the small hit game.

  Further, the V effective period is a period set for the constant operation of the distributing member 16k as described above, and when there is a detection of passage of the game ball based on a signal from the specific area sensor 16a, It is a period in which the detection is regarded as effective. Specifically, the V-effective period is a period from when the distribution member 16k is controlled to the passage permission state until a predetermined time passes. The predetermined time is longer than the time for controlling the distributing member 16k to be allowed to pass, taking into consideration the time lag from the game ball passing the position of the distributing member 16k to the specific area 16.

  After S2503, the gaming control microcomputer 101 determines whether the operation of the distribution member 16k has ended (S2504). Specifically, in S2504, based on the timer set in S2502, it is determined whether or not the operation period until the constant operation of the distributing member 16k ends has elapsed. If the operation of the distribution member 16k is completed (S2504: YES), the gaming control microcomputer 101 turns off the distribution operation flag (S2505). After S2505, or if the operation of the distributing member 16k is not completed (S2504: NO), the distributing operation process is ended.

11. Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 on the effect control board 120 of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described. A counter, a timer, a flag, a status, a buffer, and the like that appear in the description of the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[Production side start processing]
The effect side start processing executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The effect-side activation process is executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 when the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is turned on.

  In the effect side activation process, the effect control microcomputer 121 first initializes the effect CPU 122 (S4001). Specifically, in S4001, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs, for example, stack setting, constant setting, CPU setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), and the like. In S4001, when the RAM initialization command is received from the game control microcomputer 101, the effect control microcomputer 121 initializes the effect RAM 124. As a result, various information stored in the effect RAM 124 is lost. Note that S4001 is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

  After S4001, the effect control microcomputer 121 prohibits an interrupt (S4004). Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 updates the values of various random numbers (S4005). Specifically, in S4005, the effect control microcomputer 121 updates the values of various random numbers such as effect symbol random number, variation effect pattern random number, advance effect random number, and advance effect type random number. These random numbers are different from the random numbers used by the game control microcomputer 101 described above, and are used only by the effect control microcomputer 121. The method of updating the random number may be the same as or different from that of the game control microcomputer 101.

  After S4005, the effect control microcomputer 121 transmits various commands set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 to the image control board 140 and the like (S4006). For example, the image control board 140 that has received a command causes the image display device 50 to display various still images or moving pictures according to the command, and causes the speaker 52 to output various sounds. In other words, the effect symbol variation effect, the game effect accompanying the big hit game or the small hit game, the customer waiting effect and the like are executed.

  Note that the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53 to light through the feature lamp control board 162 in accordance with the execution of various effects by the image control board 140. As described above, since the game control board 100 does not receive an input from the effect control board 120, the command transmitted from S4006 is not input to the game control microcomputer 101.

  After S4006, the effect control microcomputer 121 permits an interrupt (S4007). Thereafter, S4004 to S4007 are repeated. While the interruption is permitted, various processes such as the effect side 2 ms timer interruption process (S4009) and the effect side 10 ms timer interruption process (S4010) can be executed.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 also executes interrupt processing other than S4009 and S4010. For example, when the command sent from the game control board 100 is input to the effect I / O port 138 of the effect control microcomputer 121, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the effect RAM 124 to store the command. Execute command interrupt processing. The game control command interrupt process is executed prior to other interrupt processes (S4009, S4010).

[Procedure side 2 ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, the effect side 2 ms timer interrupt process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The effect side 2 ms timer interrupt process is executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 every time an interrupt pulse of 2 ms cycle is input.

  In the effect side 2 ms timer interrupt process, the effect control microcomputer 121 first gives information on the presence / absence of operations on the effect button 40 k and the select button 42 k based on output signals from the effect button detection sensor 40 a and the select button detection sensor 42 a. Input data shown is created (S4201). When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is provided with an input member other than these, information on the presence / absence of input of the input member is also included in the input data.

  After S4201, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs control for lighting or extinguishing the frame lamp 53 in accordance with the lamp data created in the effect side 10 ms timer interrupt process described later (S4202). Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs control for displacing the decorative movable body 55k in accordance with the movable body drive data similarly created by the effect side 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4203).

  After S4203, the effect control microcomputer 121 executes other processes such as resetting the watchdog timer (S4299). After S4299, the effect side 2 ms timer interrupt processing ends.

[Procedure side 10 ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, the effect side 10 ms timer interrupt process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The effect side 10 ms timer interrupt process is executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 every time an interrupt pulse of 10 ms cycle is input.

  In the effect side 10 ms timer interrupt process, the effect control microcomputer 121 first executes an effect side reception command analysis process for analyzing a command received from the game control board 100 (S4301). Details of S4301 will be described later.

  After S4301, the effect control microcomputer 121 acquires the input data created in S4201 of the effect side 2 ms timer interrupt process (S4303). Then, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs input unit control according to the operation on various input devices based on the input data (S4304).

  After S4304, the effect control microcomputer 121 creates lamp data for controlling the lighting of the frame lamp 53 in accordance with various effects (S4305). Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 creates movable body drive data for performing operation control of the decoration movable body 55k (S4306).

  After S4306, the effect control microcomputer 121 executes other processes such as updating various random numbers used by the effect control microcomputer 121 (S4399), and ends the effect side 10 ms timer interrupt process.

[Demonstration side reception command analysis processing]
FIG. 51 shows the procedure of the effect side reception command analysis process of S4301 of FIG. In the effect side reception command analysis process, the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether a start winning command (a first start winning command or a second start winning command) has been received from the game control board 100 (S4401). The first start winning command is output from the game control board 100 in response to entering the first start hole 11 of the game ball. The second start winning command is output from the game control board 100 upon entering the second start hole 12 of the game ball as a trigger. As described above, the start winning command includes each information of jackpot success or failure, jackpot type, presence or absence of reach, fluctuation time, and whether or not SP reach is to be performed.

  If a start winning command has been received from the game control board 100 (S4401: YES), the effect control microcomputer 121 adds 1 to the hold counter corresponding to the received start winning command (S4402). The hold counter has two types of a first special view hold counter corresponding to the first special view hold storage unit 105a and a second special view hold counter corresponding to the second special view hold storage unit 105b, start winning command Is received, the hold counter corresponding to the special figure hold storage unit 105 storing the start winning command is incremented by one. That is, the hold counter is a counter that counts the number of start winning commands stored for each special-image hold storage unit 105.

  After S4402, the effect control microcomputer 121 stores the received start winning command and the received counter value in the effect RAM 124 (S4403). Specifically, in S4403, if the received start winning command is the first start winning command, it is stored in the first special view holding storage unit 105a, and if it is the second starting winning command, the second special view holding storage unit Store in 105b. The start winning command is stored in a storage area in which the start winning command is not stored among the storage areas provided in each of the special view holding storage units. Further, after S4402, the effect control microcomputer 121 prefetches the success or failure of the jackpot based on the start winning command, determines the hold icon HA, and causes the image display device 50 to display the hold icon HA (S4404).

  After S4404, or when the start winning command has not been received from the game control board 100 (S4401: NO), the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the change start command has been received (S4411). The change start command is output from, for example, the game control board 100 when starting the variable display of the special symbol.

  When the change start command is received from the game control board 100 (S4411: YES), the effect control microcomputer 121 shifts the storage area of each start winning command stored in the special view suspension storage unit 105 (S4412). Specifically, in S4412, the effect control microcomputer 121 selects the start winning command corresponding to the highest-priority start winning command among the start winning commands stored in the special view storage unit 105, that is, the reception counter with the smallest value. Each start winning command stored in the special view reserve storage unit 105 storing the command is shifted by one from the current storage area to the storage area on the higher priority side of reading, and the shift last shifted Initialize the original storage area.

  After 4412, the effect control microcomputer 121 subtracts 1 from the hold counter corresponding to the special view hold storage unit 105 storing the start winning command shifted in S4412 (S4413). Further, after S4413, the effect control microcomputer 121 shifts the display position of the hold icon HA (S4414). After S 4414, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines the effect content of the change using the one start winning command or the change start command having the highest priority among the start winning commands stored in the effect RAM 124, and the determination is made. The executed effect is executed (S4415). Specifically, in S4415, a scenario for presentation is determined according to the variation pattern, an image according to the scenario is displayed on the image display device 50, and music, sound effects and speech are output from the speaker 52. In addition, the lighting pattern of the frame lamp 53 and the movable pattern of the decorative movable body 55k are determined. In addition, execution timings of various advance notice effects are determined.

  The scenario of the effect to be selected differs depending on the progress of the game. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a game stage, and effects to be performed at each stage are determined. Therefore, in normal times, a rendering scenario is selected from among the rendering scenarios for normal times, and at chance, a rendering scenario is selected from among the rendering scenarios for chance. In addition, even at the time of chance, in the 1st time short production part, the production scenario is selected from among the production scenarios for the 1st time production part, and in the 2nd time production part, from among the production scenarios for the 2nd time production part When a rendering scenario is selected and non-time-short remaining on-hold exclusive effect is performed, a scenario for non-time-short remaining on-off dedicated effect is selected.

  After S4415, or when the change start command is not received from the game control board 100 (S4411: NO), the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether the opening command is received from the game control board 100 (S4431) ). The opening command is output from the game control board 100 when starting a special game such as a jackpot game.

  When the opening command is received from the game control board 100 (S4431: YES), the effect control microcomputer 121 executes various processes related to the opening effect of the special game (S4432).

  After S4432 or when the opening command is not received from the game control board 100 (S4431: NO), the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether the ending command is received from the game control board 100 (S4441) . The ending command is output from, for example, the game control board 100 when ending the special game.

  When the ending command is received from the game control board 100 (S4441: YES), the effect control microcomputer 121 executes various processing related to the ending effect of the special game (S4442).

  After S4442, or when the ending command is not received from the game control board 100 (S4441: NO), the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the V passing command is received from the game control board 100 (S4451) ). The V passage command is output from the game control board 100 when the gaming ball passes the specific area 16 within the V effective period.

  When the V passage command is received from the game control board 100 (S4451: YES), the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the image display device 50 to display an image including a message notifying the passage of the specific area 16 of the game ball. Various processing relating to passage effects is executed (S4452).

  After S4452 or when the V passage command has not been received from the game control board 100 (S4451: NO), the effect control microcomputer 121 executes a process corresponding to a command other than the aforementioned command (S4499). As commands other than the above-mentioned commands, for example, various abnormality notification commands, a full notification command of the surplus ball tray 35, and a customer wait standby command which is output when the variation display of the special symbol is not performed for a predetermined time . After S4499, the production side reception command analysis processing ends.

12. Effect of the Embodiment In pachinko gaming machine PY1, after the end of the jackpot game, with respect to the holding icon HA corresponding to the holding lottery information (holding of the special figure 2) currently stored in the second special figure holding storage unit 105b. The hold icon HA is changed according to the hold icon simultaneous change presentation to the presentation mode. Then, the effect corresponding to the hold icon HA is performed by the non-time-short remaining hold dedicated effect thereafter. As a result, the player can assume an aspect of the effect corresponding to the holding lottery information, and can generate an expectation of the jackpot according to the aspect of the effect.

  In particular, in the type 1 two-type mixer such as the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, the probability of winning a small hit is high in the pass / fail judgment of the special view 2, and it is easy to be a judgment result with a possibility of winning a big hit. Therefore, even with the hold lottery information stored at the end of the jackpot game, there is a high possibility that the judgment result with the possibility of jackpot win is high, and the player's attention to the result of the judgment of the hold lottery information is also high. Therefore, the present invention works effectively.

13. Modifications of the Embodiment The present embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is naturally capable of various improvements and modifications without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the numerical values (number of times of drawing, setting values of various tables, upper limit of various holding numbers, etc.) described in the present embodiment are exemplification and may be selected as appropriate.

  Further, the second success or failure judgment means includes a judgment on small hit in the second success or failure judgment, and in the second special game execution means, when the result of the second success or failure judgment is a jackpot, the second special ordinal When playing a game, if the result of the second success or failure judgment is a small hit, the special winning opening is opened in a predetermined opening pattern, and then the gaming ball entering the special winning opening passes through the specific area Also in the case, it is good to play the second special game.

  The gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine PY1) according to the configuration of the fifth invention has a predetermined ball entry port (second start port 12), a first entering state, and a front compared to the first entering state. The first numerical information acquisition to acquire numerical information based on the displacement member (electric chew opening and closing member 12k) which is displaced to the second ball entry state where it is easy to enter the ball entry hole, and the ball entry to the ball entry port A first pass / fail judging means (for game control) which carries out a first pass / fail judgment including at least a pass / fail judgment of a big hit based on numerical means acquired by the means (game control microcomputer 101, S224) and the first numerical information acquisition means The microcomputer 101, S1021, S1102) and the special symbol indicating the result of the first success or failure is variably displayed, and the special symbol is stopped and displayed after the first variation time has elapsed from the start of the variation display. Symbol display means (No. A special game in which a special game advantageous to a player is performed by satisfying a predetermined condition when the special figure display 81b) and the result of the first success or failure judgment have the possibility of winning a big hit. Execution means (microcomputer for game control 101, S932, S942), and first storage means (second special view hold storage unit) capable of storing numerical information acquired by the first numerical information acquisition means up to the first upper limit number 105b), a predetermined gate (gate 13), second numerical information acquisition means (microcomputer for game control 101, S204) for acquiring numerical information based on passage of gaming balls to the gate, and the second numerical value The second success / failure determination means (game control microcomputer 101, S411, S502) that performs the second success / failure determination including the normal success / failure determination based on the numerical value information acquired by the information acquisition means, and the second appropriateness determination means An ordinary symbol display means (common figure indicator 82) for stopping and displaying the ordinary symbol after fluctuatingly displaying the ordinary symbol indicating the result of the determination and after the second fluctuation time has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation display, An auxiliary game in which an auxiliary game is performed to make the displacement member into the second entering state in a predetermined period on the condition that the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in the normal hitting stop mode indicating normal winning by the normal symbol display means An execution unit (game control microcomputer 101, S332), and a second storage unit (general drawing reserve storage unit 106) capable of storing numerical information acquired by the second numerical information acquisition unit up to a second upper limit number; As the gaming state, the first gaming state (non-short time state) and the second gaming state (time short state) in which the displacement member is more likely to enter the second entering state than the first gaming state Yes The game state is the first game state while the special game is being performed, and after the end of the special game, the game state is shifted to the second game state, and the second change time is the game state. If the first gaming state is the first time, if the gaming state is the second gaming state is the second time shorter than the first time, the first time, the gaming state is the A third time which is shorter than the first variation time in the second gaming state and can be stored in the second storage means as numerical information waiting for execution of the second success or failure judgment during execution of the special game. It is characterized by being longer than time.

  In a pachinko gaming machine, for example, there is a state advantageous to a player called a time saving state, and in the time saving state, the variable winning device (electric chow) becomes easy to operate. By operating the electric chew, the gaming ball is easily entered into the predetermined starting opening, and the player can receive the lottery of the big hit without reducing the gaming ball significantly. On the other hand, there are variations in the timing at which the operation of the electric chew is started after the transition to the short time state, and the benefit of the electric chew can not always be immediately received.

  If it is too short, the 1st time (the fluctuation time of the big hit game (normal time) of the popular figure) will be immediately digested during the big hit game too, and it is difficult to store the numerical information (general figure reserved) in the second storage means . On the other hand, if it is too long, after the end of the special game such as the big hit game, even if it shifts to the second game state (time reduction state) advantageous to the player, the fluctuation display (common figure fluctuation) of the normal symbol does not end , The first operation start timing of the displacement member (variable winning device, electric chew) is delayed. Therefore, according to the configuration of the fifth aspect of the invention, by setting the first time as described above, the general drawing reserve is stored at the end of the special game and the general drawing started during the special game After the stop display of the spread map change after the end of the special game of the change, it is possible to immediately start the change display of the normal symbol in the time saving state. The second time (time of the spread fluctuation in the short time state) is a time shorter than the first time, and the stop display can be performed promptly to operate the displacement member. Thereby, the dispersion | variation in the first action start timing of a displacement member can be reduced.

  Further, in the second success or failure determination, it is determined with high probability that a normal winning is determined, and the third time is an average passing interval at which passage of the gaming ball to the gate is detected when the gaming ball is continuously fired. It is good. If the probability of winning a normal hit is high, then at least one pass of the gate during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol by the fact that the normal spread fluctuation time (first time) at the normal time is longer than the average pass interval of the gate. Can be expected, and you can save the general drawing reserve.

  Further, the second upper limit number may be 2 or more. By enabling two or more common drawing holdings, a plurality of common drawing holdings are stored at the end of the jackpot game, and it is possible to operate the electric chew a plurality of times immediately after transition to the time saving state.

  In the gaming machine according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the gaming machine further comprises a first special winning opening (first large winning opening 14) and a second special winning opening (second large winning opening 15), The executing means performs a small hitting game in which the first special winning opening is opened with a predetermined opening pattern when the result of the first success or failure judgment is a small winning, and further, the first special winning opening When the game ball entering the ball passes through the specific area, a big hit game may be performed in which the second special winning opening is opened in a predetermined opening pattern.

  Further, it is preferable that the condition in which the second gaming state ends includes that the variation display of the special symbol is performed once in the second gaming state.
