Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of probability states as the state in which the probability of winning a big hit (hereinafter referred to as a big hit probability) in the internal lottery (big hit lottery) is different. The plurality of probability states include a low probability state and a high probability state in which the big hit probability is higher than the low probability state. The high probability state is advantageous to the player because the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery is increased. The high probability state is a so-called “probability fluctuation state (probability state)”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of ball entry statuses as different entry levels of gaming balls to the second start winning opening 16. The plurality of ball entering states include a low ball entering state and a high ball entering state where the ball entering rate is high as compared with the low ball entering state. The high ball entry rate state is advantageous to the player because the start condition of the second special game is easily established. The high concentration rate state is a so-called "power support state". The low ball entry rate state and the high ball entry rate state may be different from each other in base, which is a ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of launching game balls. For example, the low ball entry state may be a low base state, and the high ball entry state may be a high base state.

  For example, the high ball entry rate state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by executing a plurality of controls in combination. The first control is a normal symbol fluctuation time reduction control in which the fluctuation time of the normal game is made shorter than that in the low pitch condition state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol which fluctuates the probability of winning the ordinary hit lottery (hereinafter referred to as the ordinary hitting probability) to a higher probability than in the low ball entry state.

  The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the normally variable member 17 in one normal hit game is longer than in the low ball entry state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, control to increase the number of times of opening of the ordinary variable member 17 in one ordinary hit game more than in the low ball entry state, and 1 time of the ordinary variable member 17 in ordinary hit game It is preferable to perform at least one control of the control of making the open time of L longer than in the low ball-in-focus state.

  In addition, the high ball entry rate state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol fluctuation time reduction control that makes the average fluctuation time of the special game shorter than that in the low pitch condition state. When the fluctuation time reduction control of the special symbol is executed, the high ball entry rate state is a so-called "variation time reduction state". The average fluctuation time of the special game can be obtained by dividing the integration time of fluctuation time in the special game of the unit count by the unit count, assuming that the special game of the unit count is executed.

  In the following description, the high ball-in-focus state may be indicated as "time-shortened state" or abbreviated as "time-shortened state". Also, the gaming state which is a low probability state and not a short time state is indicated as "low probability short time absence (normal state)", and the gaming state which is a low probability state and short time state is "low probability short time". In some cases, the gaming state, which is a high probability state and a short time state, may be indicated as "high probability time short". In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is in a high probability state and is not provided with a gaming state (high probability timeless without) that is not a time saving state.

The types of jackpot games are defined in each of the plural types of jackpot symbols.

  In the jackpot game, first, a predetermined effect is performed over a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as opening time). For example, the predetermined effect is an opening effect that can specify the start of the big hit game. In the big hit game, after the opening time has elapsed, the round game in which the big winning opening 18 is opened is performed with the upper limit frequency set in advance as the upper limit. One round game is ended by establishing a first end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of gaming balls wins, or a second end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time passes. In the round game, the special winning opening 18 is opened to be in a predetermined opening mode. In each round game, round effects are performed. And, in the big hit game, when the final round game ends, a predetermined effect is performed over a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as an ending time). For example, the predetermined effect is an ending effect capable of recognizing the end of the big hit game. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending time.

  In the present embodiment, in the big hit game based on the big hit symbols of the symbol groups ZA and ZC, 10 times are defined as the upper limit number of round games, and in the big hit games based on the big hit symbols of the symbol group ZB, the upper limit number of round games As five times are defined. In the big hit game based on the big hit symbols of the symbol groups ZA to ZC, 10 pieces are set as the upper limit number in each round game, and 25 seconds are set as the upper limit time in each round game. As described above, in the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of jackpots in which the total opening time of the big winning opening 18 in one jackpot is different. In the present embodiment, in the big hit game based on the big hit symbols of the symbol groups ZA and ZC, about 1000 prize balls can be obtained, while in the big hit game based on the big hit symbols of the symbol group ZB, about 500 awards You can get a ball.

Next, the gaming state after the end of the big hit game will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is defined for each of the plural types of big hit symbols. In the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, it is determined that the high probability state and the time saving state are given to the big hit symbols of the symbol groups ZA and ZB over the interval between the next big hit game being awarded. There is. In addition, it is defined that the jackpot symbol of the symbol group ZC is given a low probability state after the end of the jackpot game. The jackpot symbol of the symbol group ZC is any of the conditions under which the variation game of a predetermined number of actuations (for example, 100 times) ends after the end of the jackpot game, and the conditions for the next jackpot game to occur It is defined that the time saving state is given until one of the conditions is satisfied.

  In the following description, a big hit based on the big hit symbol of the symbol group ZA may be indicated as 10R high probability big hit, and a big hit game based on the big hit may be indicated as 10R high probability big hit game. Also, a big hit based on the big hit symbol of the symbol group ZB may be indicated as 5R high probability big hit, and a big hit game based on the big hit may be indicated as 5R high probability big hit game. Also, a big hit based on the big hit symbol of the symbol group ZC may be indicated as a 10R low probability big hit, and a big hit game based on the big hit may be indicated as a 10R low probability big hit game. In the present embodiment, the 5R high probability big hit corresponds to the first big hit, and the 10R high probability big hit and 10R low probability big hit correspond to the second big hit different from the first big hit. That is, the first jackpot is a jackpot in which the expected value of the number of winning balls obtainable through one jackpot game is lower than that of the second jackpot.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the jackpot state and the gaming state with high probability and low probability correspond to the advantageous state. That is, in the present embodiment, when the 10R low probability big hit in the gaming state with low probability time short, the period in the advantageous state is a period until the 10R low probability big hit game starts and then ends. In addition, the period when it is in the advantageous state, when there is a high probability big hit in the gaming state without low probability time short, since the high probability big hit game starts, the game with one or more high probability time short 10R low probability jackpot period granted through the state will be the period of the end of the game is over. In the following description, it is indicated that a big hit in the gaming state without low certainty time short, that is, a big hit symbol is derived in the special game and a big hit game is provided as a "first hit".

  The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 include an effect design variation game which is one of display effects. In the following description, the effect symbol variation game is abbreviated as “effect game”. The effect game is an effect in which the effect display device EH changes and displays the effect patterns in a plurality of rows, and finally derives a combination of the effect symbols. In the following description, when simply indicating "symbol combination", it is assumed that a combination of effect symbols is indicated. The effect pattern is a pattern (decorative pattern) to which a decoration such as a character or a pattern is applied, and is a pattern for diversifying the display effect. In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by fluctuating display (scroll display) of the effect symbols in the first, second, and third columns in a predetermined direction.

  The effect game is executed in association with the special game. Specifically, the effect game starts with the start of the special game and ends with the end of the special game. In the effect game, a symbol combination according to the special symbol derived in the special game is derived. In the special game, when the jackpot symbol is derived, the jackpot symbol combination is derived in the effect game. For example, the jackpot symbol combination is a symbol combination in which the rendering symbols in all the rows are the same, such as "777".

  Further, in the special game, when the out-of-round symbol is derived, in the effect game, the out-of-pattern combination is derived. For example, the symbol combination of the outset is a symbol combination such as “778” or “787” in which at least some of the rendering symbols in one row are different from those in the other rows. In addition, in the effect game, the effect pattern may be temporarily stopped before being displayed as the fixed stop. In the present specification, the "temporary display" is a temporary stop state before the finalized display of the effect pattern, such as the fluctuation display. In the following description, when the special game and the effect game to be executed in association with the special game are not distinguished from one another, they are collectively referred to as a “variation game”.

  In the effect game, reach effect may be performed by forming a reach. In the reach, the same effect pattern is temporarily displayed on a specific row (the first and third rows in this embodiment) among a plurality of rows, and a row different from the specific row (the second in this embodiment) It is in the state where the production design of the column) is fluctuatingly displayed.

  When the first special hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a updates the first special hold number by one and updates it, and displays information capable of specifying the updated first special hold number. , And controls the first special hold display unit 13c. As described above, the holding condition of the first special game is satisfied when the game ball is detected by the first start winning sensor SE1 in a state where the first special holding number is less than the upper limit number.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores the random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c. For example, the random numbers are a big hit random number used for a big hit lottery, a big hit symbol random number used for determining a big hit symbol, and a variation pattern random number used for determining a variation pattern. At this time, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information such that the random number information for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number according to a predetermined method. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information used for the first special game in the main control RAM 30c, it is possible to suspend the execution until the execution condition of the first special game is satisfied.

  When the game ball does not enter the first start winning opening 15, when the number of the first special reserve is not less than the upper limit number, and when random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the gaming ball has entered the second start winning opening 16 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the second start winning sensor SE2. When the game ball enters the second start winning opening 16, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). Determine if

  When the second special hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a updates the second special hold number by one and updates it, and displays information capable of specifying the updated second special hold number. , And the second special hold display unit 13d. The holding condition of the second special game is satisfied when the game ball is detected by the second start winning sensor SE2 in a state where the second special holding number is less than the upper limit number.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores the random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c. At this time, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that the random number information used for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information for the second special game in the main control RAM 30c, it is possible to suspend the execution until the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied. When the game ball does not enter the second start winning opening 16, when the second special reserve number is not less than the upper limit number, and when random number information for the second special game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, The main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, special symbol start processing will be described.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the execution condition of the special game is established. The main control CPU 30a makes a negative determination when it is not in the big hit game and in the special game, while it makes a positive determination, while it is in the big hit game or in the special game. If the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the second special hold number is larger than zero. If the second special hold number is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a starts the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special hold number is zero, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the first special hold number is greater than zero. If the first special hold number is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a starts the first special game. Thus, the main control CPU 30a preferentially executes the second special game without simultaneously executing the first special game and the second special game. In addition, when the first special holding number and the second special holding number are both 0, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  When starting the second special game, the main control CPU 30a subtracts one from the second special holding number to update it. The main control CPU 30a controls the second special hold display unit 13d to display information capable of recognizing the second special hold number after subtraction. Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires, from the main control RAM 30c, the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game. Then, using the big hit random number specified from the acquired random number information, the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery (big hit determination) as to whether or not to win the big hit. For example, the big hit lottery may be determined based on whether the value of the big hit random number and the big hit determination value match. Also, for example, the big hit lottery may be determined based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the big hit random number and the big hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value. As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a realizes a function as a big hit lottery means for performing a big hit lottery.

  When the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs jackpot variation processing. In the jackpot variation process, the main control CPU 30a performs a symbol determination lottery using a jackpot symbol random number that can be specified from random number information, and determines a jackpot symbol of a special symbol. The main control CPU 30a performs a fluctuation pattern determination lottery using a fluctuation pattern random number that can be identified from the random number information, and determines a big hit fluctuation pattern.

  When the jackpot is not won in the jackpot lottery (when it is determined to be out), the main control CPU 30a performs outlier fluctuation processing. In the outlier fluctuation processing, the main control CPU 30a determines the outlier symbol of the special symbol. The main control CPU 30a performs a fluctuation pattern determination lottery using a fluctuation pattern random number that can be identified from the random number information, and determines an outlier fluctuation pattern with or without reach. In addition, the main control CPU 30a performs a reach lottery whether or not to allow the execution of the reach effect, and when the reach lottery is won, the out-of-out fluctuation pattern with reach is determined and the reach lottery is not won, the reach The absence variation pattern may be configured to be determined.

  When starting the first special game, the main control CPU 30a performs the same processing as when starting the second special game, targeting the first special game. That is, the main control CPU 30a performs subtraction of the first special reserve number, a big hit lottery, and any variation processing based on the result of the big hit lottery. When the big hit fluctuation processing ends, or when the exit fluctuation processing ends, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start processing.

  Then, when the special symbol start process is ended, the main control CPU 30a executes the variation game by performing a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a special symbol command) capable of specifying the special symbol determined in the big hit fluctuation processing and the outlier fluctuation processing in the special symbol start processing. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a game start command) capable of specifying the start of the special game and the determined fluctuation pattern in the output buffer.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the special symbol display portions 13a and 13b to start the special game by starting variable display of a predetermined symbol. The main control CPU 30a measures the fluctuation time set in the determined fluctuation pattern. The main control CPU 30a controls the special symbol display portions 13a and 13b so as to derive the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process when the variation time defined in the variation pattern has elapsed. In addition, when the fluctuation time defined in the determined fluctuation pattern passes, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a game end command) capable of specifying the end of the special game in the output buffer.

Next, the big hit game processing will be described.
The big hit game process is a process for giving a big hit game after the end of the big game special game. In the big hit game process, the main control CPU 30a identifies the type of big hit game to be awarded based on the big hit symbol (ie, the type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. And main control CPU30a performs processing which grants the big hit game of the specified kind.

  First, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter referred to as an opening command) that can specify the start of the opening time. When the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 30a performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the special solenoid SL2 using the specified open pattern data (open control data) for the big hit game and opens the big winning opening 18. During execution of the round game, every time the game ball enters the big winning opening 18, ie, every time when the detection signal is inputted from the special winning sensor SE3, the main control CPU 30a triggers the entering of the big winning opening 18 A control command (hereinafter referred to as a prize ball command) capable of specifying the number of prize balls (10 in the present embodiment) is set in the output buffer.

  When the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied during execution of the round game, the main control CPU 30a controls the special solenoid SL2 so as to close the special winning opening 18, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 30a repeatedly performs the processing for executing such a round game until the round game of the upper limit number determined for the big hit game is ended. Further, every time the round game is started, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a round command) capable of specifying the start of the round game in the output buffer.

  When the final round game is over, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter referred to as an ending command) that can specify the start of the ending time. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game. In this embodiment, when the main control CPU 30a wins a big hit in a big hit lottery, a function as a big hit game giving means for giving a big hit game after the end of the big hit special game for deriving a big hit special symbol is realized. .

Next, the game state process will be described.
The game state process is a process for controlling the game state.
The main control CPU 30a stores the high probability flag in the main control RAM 30c when the 10R high probability big hit game or the 5R high probability big hit game is ended. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls to a high probability state. In this case, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a high probability command) that can specify that the state is a high probability state. On the other hand, when the 10R low probability big hit game is over, the main control CPU 30a does not store the high probability flag in the main control RAM 30c. In this case, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a low probability command) that can specify that the state is a low probability state. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls to a low probability state. Further, the main control CPU 30a is a case where a big hit game is started, and when the high probability flag is stored, the high probability flag is erased. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the jackpot game to a low probability state.

  When the 10R high probability big hit game or the 5R high probability big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a stores a time saving flag in the main control RAM 30c. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the time saving state. In this case, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a time saving command) that can specify that the time saving state is set. When the 10R low probability big hit game ends, the main control CPU 30a stores a time saving flag in the main control RAM 30c. In this case, the main control CPU 30a sets a time saving command in the output buffer. Further, when the 10R low probability big hit game is ended, the main control CPU 30a counts the number of times the special game is executed in the time saving state. The main control CPU 30a erases the time saving flag when the number of times the special game being counted reaches the number of operations without the big hit game being started. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the non-time saving state in response to the end of the number of actuations of the special game. In this case, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a non-short time command) that can specify that the short time state is not present. Further, the main control CPU 30a is a case of starting a big hit game, and when the time saving flag is stored, the main control CPU 30a erases the time saving flag. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the non-short time state during the big hit game. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes a big hit game process and a game state process, thereby realizing a function as state control means capable of controlling any one of a plurality of states including the advantageous state. ing.

Next, normal symbol input processing will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the gaming ball has passed through the gate 20 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. When the gaming ball passes the gate 20, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of normal reservations is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). If the normal holding number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the normal holding number to update. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal hold display unit 13f so as to display information capable of specifying the updated normal hold number. The holding condition of the normal game is established when the gaming ball is detected by the gate sensor SE4 in a state where the normal holding number is less than the upper limit number.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores the random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c. For example, the random number is a normal hit random number or the like used for a normal hit lottery. The main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so as to be able to specify that it is the random game information for the base game and the storage order of the random number information. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information used for the base game in the main control RAM 30c, it is possible to suspend the execution until the execution condition of the base game is satisfied. If the gaming ball has not passed through the gate 20, if the normal holding number is not less than the upper limit number, and if random number information for the normal game is stored, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input processing.

Next, normal symbol start processing will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether the normal game execution condition is satisfied. The main control CPU 30a makes an affirmative determination if it is not in a normal hit game and not in a normal game, while it determines negative if it is in a normal hit game or in a normal game. If the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the number of normal holdings is larger than zero. If the normal holding number is 0, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. If the normal hold number is greater than 0, the main control CPU 30a starts the normal game.

  When starting the normal game, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the normal holding number to update. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal hold display unit 13f so as to display information capable of specifying the updated normal hold number. The main control CPU 30a acquires, from the main control RAM 30c, the random number information stored first among the random number information used for the base game. The main control CPU 30a uses the normal hit random number specified from the acquired random number information to perform a normal hit lottery whether or not to win the normal hit. When a normal hit is won in a normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines a normal hit symbol by a lottery using random numbers that can be identified from random number information. On the other hand, when the normal hit is not won in the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines the normally out pattern. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the fluctuation time of the normal game by lottery using random numbers that can be identified from the random number information. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process.

  Then, when the normal symbol start process is ended, the main control CPU 30a executes the normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the normal symbol display portion 13e to start the normal game by starting variable display of a predetermined symbol. The main control CPU 30a measures the determined fluctuation time. When the determined variation time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a controls the normal symbol display portion 13e so as to derive the determined normal symbol.

Next, normal hit game processing will be described.
The normal hit game process is a process for providing a normal hit game after the end of the normal game of the normal hit. In the normal hit game processing, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of the normal hit game based on the normal hit pattern (that is, the type of the normal hit) determined in the normal symbol start processing. Then, the main control CPU 30a controls the normal solenoid SL1 using the specified open pattern data (open control data) for normal hit gaming, and opens the second start winning opening 16.

Next, various processes performed by the sub control CPU 40a will be described.
First, the jackpot effect processing will be described.
The big hit effect process is a process for executing an effect during a big hit game (hereinafter referred to as a big hit effect). When the sub control CPU 40a receives the opening command, the sub control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH to execute the opening effect. The sub control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH to execute a round effect when the round command is input. When the sub control CPU 40a inputs the ending command, the sub control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH to execute the ending effect. The jackpot effect may include, in addition to or instead of the display effect, at least one of a sound effect and a light emission effect.

Next, the effect game process will be described.
The effect game process is a process for executing an effect game as one of display effects associated with the special game while the special game is being executed. In the effect game process, when the sub control CPU 40a inputs a game start command, the sub control CPU 40a selects an effect pattern (effect content) of the effect game based on the fluctuation pattern that can be identified from the game start command.

  When the sub control CPU 40a inputs a special symbol command, it determines a symbol combination to be derived in the effect game based on the special symbol that can be specified from the special symbol command. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 40a determines a jackpot symbol combination when the jackpot symbol of the special symbol can be identified. The sub-control CPU 40a determines a combination of out-of-characters when it is possible to specify the out-of-design of the special symbol. Here, the sub-control CPU 40a determines a symbol combination including a reach when the reach effect is to be executed in the present effect game because the execution condition of the reach effect is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the reach condition is satisfied by selecting a variation pattern with reach. As the reach condition, in addition to or instead of the selection of the fluctuation pattern with reach, a predetermined reach effect lottery may be performed to determine that the reach effect lottery has been won. The sub-control CPU 40a determines a symbol combination of a runout that does not include the reach, when the reach effect is not performed in the present effect game because the execution condition of the reach effect is not satisfied.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 40a inputs a game start command, the sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH to start variable display of the effect symbols of each row. That is, the sub control CPU 40a starts the effect game. The sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH such that the effect game is performed along the selected effect pattern during the change time defined in the change pattern.

  The sub-control CPU 40a temporarily displays the determined rendering symbol combination at the predetermined timing after starting the rendering game, and causes the rendering symbol combination to be determined and stopped in response to the input of the game end command. The sub-control CPU 40a may display the effect symbol combination as a decision stop, triggered by the passage of the variation time set in the variation pattern, regardless of the game end command. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

The characteristic effects of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described below.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute an award ball number effect as one of effects. The prize ball number effect is an effect that makes it possible to specify the accumulated number of prize balls obtained by accumulating the number of prize balls triggered by the winning of the big winning opening 18 opened in the big hit state in a predetermined effect period. The prize ball number effect according to the present embodiment is information capable of specifying the cumulative number of prize balls (hereinafter referred to as an award), such as an image imitating a character string of “number of acquisitions xxx” in the effect display device EH. It is performed by the aspect which displays as ball | bowl number information.

  In the present embodiment, the cumulative number of winning balls is the cumulative result of the number of winning balls obtained by the player in the big hit game in a predetermined counting period. In addition, the total number of winning balls corresponds to the total number of gaming balls related to the entry into the large winning opening 18 as a predetermined entry. In the present embodiment, after the big hit game is awarded in the gaming state with low probability time short, during the effect period, the period in which the game is controlled to the gaming state without low precision short time triggered by the end of the variation game of the number of operations. Is defined. That is, the effect period is a so-called "continuous change period". On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the counting period, all of the periods in the advantageous state (big hit state and high probability and short time) are defined. In the present embodiment, the counting period corresponds to a specific period.

Here, winning ball accumulation processing will be described.
The winning ball accumulation process is a process for counting the cumulative number of winning balls described above. The sub-control CPU 40a executes award ball accumulation processing over the counting period, and updates the award ball accumulated number. The sub control CPU 40a specifies whether or not it is in the counting period based on various control commands input from the main control board 30.

  For example, the sub-control CPU 40a starts the counting period when the opening command is input while specifying that the gaming state without low probability time is short based on the input of the low probability command and the non-short time command. You can identify that. For example, the sub control CPU 40a can specify that the counting period is ended when the low probability command and the short time command are input after the ending command is input.

  When the prize ball command is input in the counting period, the sub control CPU 40a updates the accumulated number of prize balls stored in the sub control RAM 40c by adding the number of prize balls that can be specified from the prize ball command. In the award ball accumulation process, when the sub control CPU 40a specifies the end of the effect period, it updates the accumulated number of award balls stored in the sub control RAM 40 c to an initial value (for example, 0). That is, after the end of the advantageous state, the cumulative number of winning balls is updated to an initial value with the execution of a predetermined number of fluctuation games. For example, when the sub control CPU 40a specifies that the gaming state with low probability time and short is based on the input of the low probability command and the time reduction command, when the non-time reduction command (time reduction end command) is input, It can be identified that the rendering period has ended.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the winning ball command is output only during the big hit game. For this reason, in the winning balls accumulation process, the number of winning balls paid out in the period of the big hit state among the counting periods is accumulated. In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 40a executes a winning ball accumulation process to accumulate the number of winning balls triggered by entering the large winning opening 18 as a predetermined ball entrance. It has been realized.

Next, the effect execution process will be described.
When the start of the effect period is specified, the sub control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH to display award ball number information that can specify the cumulative number of prize balls stored in the sub control RAM 40c. That is, the sub control CPU 40a starts the winning ball number effect. The sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH to continuously display the award ball number information during the effect period. The sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH so as not to display the winning ball number information when specifying the end of the effect period. That is, the sub control CPU 40a ends the winning ball number effect. In addition, the period when the award ball number information is displayed is optional during the period of the jackpot state, the period of the gaming state with high probability time short, and the period of the gaming state with low probability time short among the effect periods. It may be changed to display the winning number information over one or a plurality of periods which can be selected.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a notice effect as one of the effects during the execution of the effect game. The advance notice effect of the present embodiment is an effect for making it possible to specify an expectation (hereinafter referred to as a big hit expectation degree) to be a big hit in the effect game in which the advance notice is executed. Here, in the present embodiment, a specific effect to be executed as one of the advance effects will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the specific effect is performed by displaying the specific image G1 on the effect display device EH. For example, the specific image G1 is an image imitating a character string of "super heat !!". As described above, the specific effect of the present embodiment is executed as one of the display effects in the effect display device EH.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of lottery states in which the ratio at which the execution of the specific effect is determined in one effect game (hereinafter referred to as the appearance ratio of the specific effect) is different. In the present embodiment, the lottery state includes a first lottery state, a second lottery state, and a third lottery state. Although it will be described in detail later, when performing a lottery (hereinafter referred to as a specific effect lottery) to determine whether or not to execute a specific effect in the first lottery state, the second lottery state, and the third lottery state The table (judgment value) referred to is different.

  In the present embodiment, in the gaming state of low probability time absence and high probability time short, it is controlled to the third lottery state. In the gaming state with low probability time, it is controlled to the lottery state according to the total number of winning balls counted by the winning ball cumulative processing among the lottery states. Specifically, when the total number of winning balls is in the first range (the range from 0 to 1999), it is controlled to the first lottery state. When the total number of winning balls is in the second range (range from 2000 to 4999), it is controlled to the second lottery state, and the total number of winning balls is in the third range (range of 5000 or more) Is controlled to the third lottery state.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period as the specific period corresponds to the cumulative number of winning balls in which the sub control CPU 40a as cumulative means accumulates the number of winning balls. It can be said that it is configured to be changeable. In the present embodiment, the fact that the cumulative number of winning balls is in the first range corresponds to the cumulative number of winning balls being in the first cumulative number, and the cumulative number of winning balls is in the second range or the third range. That corresponds to the fact that the total number of winning balls is the second total number.

Next, the specific effect setting process will be described.
The specific effect setting process is a process performed when a game start command and a special symbol command are input, and is a process for determining whether or not to execute a specific effect.

  In the specific effect setting process, the sub control CPU 40a selects a lottery table (determination value) to be used for a specific effect lottery that determines whether or not to execute the specific effect. Specifically, the sub control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state based on various control commands input from the main control board 30. If the sub-control CPU 40a specifies that the gaming state with no low probability time is short, it selects a third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state. If the sub-control CPU 40a identifies that the gaming state is high and short, it selects the third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state.

  If the sub-control CPU 40a specifies that the game state with the low probability time is short, the sub-control CPU 40 a refers to the cumulative number of prize balls stored in the sub control RAM 40 c, and identifies the cumulative number of prize balls, A lottery table corresponding to the number of lottery states is selected. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 40a selects the first lottery table corresponding to the first lottery state when the cumulative number of winning balls is in the first range, and corresponds to the second lottery state when in the second range. The second lottery table is selected, and when it is in the third range, the third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 7, each lottery table can be selected to be either execution of a specific effect or non-execution of a specific effect for each result of a big hit lottery that can be specified from a game start command, The predetermined judgment value is distributed. In the present embodiment, each lottery table is configured such that the appearance rate of the specific effect increases in the order of third lottery state <second lottery state <first lottery state. That is, in the gaming state with low accuracy time and short, the appearance rate of the specific effect decreases as the accumulated number of prize balls increases, while the appearance rate of the specific effect increases as the accumulated number of prize balls decreases. In the gaming state of low probability time short and high probability time short, the appearance rate of the specific effect does not change.

  For example, the first lottery table is configured to determine non-execution of the specific effect with a probability of 95% and determine the execution of the specific effect with a probability of 5% when not winning the big hit lottery. For example, the second lottery table is configured to determine non-execution of the specific effect with a probability of 99% and determine the execution of the specific effect with a probability of 1% when not winning the big hit lottery. For example, the third lottery table is configured to determine non-execution of the specific effect with a probability of 99.9% and determine the execution of the specific effect with a probability of 0.1% when not winning the big hit lottery It is done. For example, each lottery table is configured to determine the non-execution of the specific effect with a probability of 50% and determine the execution of the specific effect with a probability of 50% when winning a big hit lottery.

  For example, the jackpot expectation degree of the specific effect in the third lottery state is configured to be the specific value X or more. According to this, it is possible to strongly impress the player that "the specific effect is the effect having a high hit probability." For example, the specific value X can be appropriately selected in the range of 0.1 or more and less than 1 such as 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.6. That is, the specific effect is an effect having a high hit probability. Note that the specific effect may be an effect having a high jackpot expectation degree as compared to other effects. Here, with other productions, for example, reach production with the highest degree of big hit expectation among the reach productions (but excluding reach production of big hit decision such as so-called "all rotation reach"), other preview productions ( However, it is possible to define the jackpot confirmation advance notice effect) and the like.

  For example, in the third lottery state, the rate at which the specific effect appears when the jackpot is achieved is configured to be a predetermined value Y (%) or more. According to this, it is possible to strongly impress the player that "If a specific effect appears, it can be expected to be a big hit." For example, the predetermined value Y can be appropriately selected in the range of 10% or more and less than 100%, such as 30% and 50%. As described above, in the present embodiment, the specific effect is configured as an effect in which the player is likely to have a sense of expectation.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 40a determines the execution of the specific effect in the specific effect determination process, the effect display device so as to start the specific effect at a predetermined start timing in the period during which the effect game is being executed. Control EH. Note that various timings can be defined as the start timing of the specific effect in relation to the start timings of other effects in the effect game. For example, as the start timing of the specific effect, it is preferable to determine in advance from the timing of starting the fluctuation of the effect pattern, the timing of starting the reach effect, and the timing of temporarily stopping and displaying the symbol combination. Alternatively, any start timing may be determined by a predetermined lottery.

Next, a specific example of the change state of the lottery state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, at time point T10, the game state with no low probability time is controlled. At time T11a, it is assumed that the first hit and the 5R high probability big hit game is given. During the period from time point T11a to time point T11b, the secondary control CPU 40a updates the cumulative number of award balls stored in the secondary control RAM 40c based on the fact that the award ball command is input during the 5R high probability big hit game. It is assumed that the total number of balls has reached 500. In the period from time point T11b to time point T12a, after the end of the 5R high probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with high probability time and short.

  At time T12a, it becomes the second big hit (so-called, two consecutive chants), and it is assumed that a 10R low probability big hit game is given. During the period from time T12a to time T12b, the secondary control CPU 40a updates the cumulative number of winning balls stored in the secondary control RAM 40c based on the fact that a winning ball command is input during a 10R low probability jackpot, and winning balls Assume that the total number has reached 1,500. At time T12b, after the end of the 10R low probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with low probability time short. That is, in this case, the period from time point T11a to time point T12b is a period in which the advantageous state is obtained, and is a counting period for counting the total number of winning balls.

  When being controlled to the game state with low probability time short, the secondary control CPU 40a is based on the first lottery state according to the cumulative number of winning balls being in the first range (range of 0 to 1999 pieces) Make specific effects appear in proportions. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in a situation where the cumulative number of winning balls is relatively small, the appearance rate of the specific effect in which the player tends to have a feeling of expectation is appearance as compared to the situation where the cumulative number of winning balls is relatively large. It is easy to do. After that, at time T13, after the 10R low probability big hit game is over, the time saving state ends and the low probability time short does not occur when the fluctuation game of the number of operations (for example, 100 times) is executed. Transition to the state. In this case, the total number of winning balls stored in the sub control RAM 40c is updated to the initial value (0 in the present embodiment).

  Next, at time T14a, it is assumed that the second hit is made and the 10R high probability big hit game is awarded. During the period from time T14a to time T14b, the secondary control CPU 40a updates the cumulative number of winning balls stored in the secondary control RAM 40c based on the fact that the winning ball command is input during the 10R high probability big hit game, It is assumed that the total number of balls has reached 1000. In the period from time T14b to time T15a, after the end of the 10R high probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with high probability time and short. At time T15a, it becomes the second big hit (so-called, two consecutive chants), and it is assumed that a 10R low probability big hit game is given. During the period from time T15a to time T15b, the secondary control CPU 40a updates the cumulative number of prize balls stored in the secondary control RAM 40c based on the fact that the prize ball command is input during the 10R low probability big hit game, and the prize It is assumed that the total number of balls has reached 2000.

  At time T15b, after the end of the 10R low probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with low probability time short. When being controlled to the game state with low probability time short, the secondary control CPU 40a is based on the second lottery state according to the cumulative number of winning balls is the second range (range from 2000 to 4999) Make specific effects appear in proportions. That is, in the gaming state with low probability time short started from time point T15b, the appearance rate of the specific effect changes compared to the gaming state with low probability time short started from time point T12b, more specifically, The appearance rate of specific effects falls.

  Thereafter, at time T16a, it is assumed that the total number of winning balls has been updated to 4,000. At time T16a, it becomes a big hit, and it is assumed that a 10R low probability big hit game is given. During the period from time T16a to time T16b, the secondary control CPU 40a updates the cumulative number of award balls stored in the secondary control RAM 40c based on the fact that the prize ball command is input during the 10R low probability big hit game, It is assumed that the total number of balls has reached 5000.

  At time T16b, after the end of the 10R low probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with low probability time short. That is, in this case, at least the period from time point T14a to time point T15b and the time period immediately before time point T16b among the time points from time point T14a to time point T16b are in an advantageous state, and the total number of winning balls is counted. Counting period. When being controlled to the game state with low probability time short, the secondary control CPU 40a, according to the cumulative number of winning balls in the third range (5000 or more range), specified at a rate based on the third lottery state Make a rendition appear. That is, in the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T16b, the appearance rate of the specific effect changes compared to the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T12b and T15b, and more specifically, The appearance rate of specific effects falls. Thus, in the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period can be changed to different appearance rates when the accumulated number of winning balls is the first accumulated number and the second accumulated number. Is configured.

  As described above, the gaming state with low probability time short started from time T12b, the gaming state with low precision time short starting from time T15b, and the gaming state with low probability time short starting from time T16b Although the same gaming state, the appearance rate of the specific effect differs according to the total number of winning balls. In addition, in the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T12b and the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T15b, it is the same as the number of big hits counted from the first hit, but to the total number of prize balls Depending on the appearance rate of the specific effect is different. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, even if the number of jackpots in the counting period as the specific period is the same, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period changes according to the total number of winning balls It is configured to be possible.

  In the present embodiment, the advantageous state may include a plurality of jackpots. Here, although not shown, in the present embodiment, even if the number of times of the 5R high probability big hit as the first big hit is the same number, according to the number of times the 10 R high probability big hit during the consecutive chan, There may be differences in the cumulative number. That is, in this embodiment, even if the number of first big hits in the counting period as the specific period is the same, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is configured to be changeable according to the total number of winning balls. It can be said that

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects are obtained.
(1-1) According to the present embodiment, in the counting period (specific period) in which the number of winning balls triggered by entering the large winning opening 18 is accumulated (specific period), the player is controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to the player. ing. And in this embodiment, according to the total number of winning balls in such a counting period, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period can change, so that a change can be made to the execution mode of the effect. . Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

  (1-2) According to this embodiment, the advantageous state may include a plurality of jackpots. And, even if the number of jackpots in the counting period is the same, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period can be changed according to the total number of winning balls. That is, in this embodiment, since the appearance rate of the specific effect may change due to the difference in the number of winning balls in the big hit, it is possible to make the big hit in the counting period also be interested. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

  (1-3) According to the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect decreases as the number of accumulated winning balls increases. For this reason, the change of the appearance rate of specific presentation can be enjoyed more. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

  (1-4) According to the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect differs between when the accumulated number of winning balls is the first accumulated number and when it is the second accumulated number. For this reason, the change of the appearance rate of specific presentation can be enjoyed more. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

  (1-5) According to the present embodiment, the advantageous state includes the high probability state in which it is easy to win the big hit lottery, and after the end of the advantageous state, the advantageous state is controlled to the low probability state. Therefore, when the player shifts to the low probability state, there is a risk that the interest will be reduced. In this embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect with a high probability of big hit in the low probability state is changed according to the cumulative number of balls in the counting period in the advantageous state. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

  (1-6) According to the present embodiment, the advantageous state includes the big hit, and the big winning opening 18 is opened in the big hit. And in the big hit, there are a plurality of types of big hits which differ in the total opening time of the big winning opening 18. Here, in the counting period, when the jackpot is only a short jackpot of the total opening time, there is a possibility that the interest of the player who is expected to obtain a large number of winning balls may be reduced. However, even in such a case, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the player's interest by changing the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period according to the cumulative number of balls in the counting period.

  (1-7) According to the present embodiment, even if the number of 5R high probability big hits (first big hits) in the counting period is the same, the appearance rate of specific effects after the end of the counting period is the total number of winning balls It can be changed according to That is, in this embodiment, since the appearance rate of the specific effect may change due to the difference in the number of winning balls in the big hit, the 10R high probability big hit or 10R low probability big hit (second big hit) during the counting period. But you can be interested. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine will be described.
In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configuration and the same control as those of the embodiment described above, and the overlapping description is omitted or simplified.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the second embodiment counts the total number of winnings (total number of balls entered) obtained by totaling the number of winnings (number of balls entered) in the large winning opening 18 in the big hit game instead of the total number of winning balls. This is different from the first embodiment in that the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is changed according to the cumulative number of winnings. The cumulative number of winning corresponds to the result of accumulating the number of gaming balls associated with the entry into the special winning opening 18 as a predetermined entry. The details will be described below.

  The sub-control CPU 40a is configured to execute a winning accumulation process instead of the winning ball accumulation process. The cumulative winning process is a process for counting the cumulative number of winnings in the counting period. The winning combination processing will be described in detail below.

  The sub control CPU 40a executes the winning combination processing over the counting period and counts the cumulative number of winnings. The sub control CPU 40a specifies whether or not it is in the counting period based on various control commands input from the main control board 30, as in the first embodiment. Then, when the prize ball command is input in the counting period, the sub control CPU 40a adds 1 to the cumulative total number of prizes stored in the sub control RAM 40c and updates it. In the winning combination processing, when the sub control CPU 40a specifies the end of the effect period, the number of cumulative winnings stored in the sub control RAM 40c is updated to an initial value (for example, 0 times). For example, when the sub control CPU 40a specifies that the gaming state with low probability time and short is based on the input of the low probability command and the time reduction command, when the non-time reduction command (time reduction end command) is input, It can be identified that the rendering period has ended.

  Further, in the specific effect setting process, the sub control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state based on various control commands input from the main control board 30. If the sub-control CPU 40a specifies that the gaming state with no low probability time is short, it selects a third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state. If the sub-control CPU 40a identifies that the gaming state is high and short, it selects the third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the sub control CPU 40a specifies that the game state with low probability time is short, it refers to the total number of winnings stored in the sub control RAM 40c and specifies the total number of winnings, and The lottery table corresponding to the lottery state corresponding to the specified number of winning combinations is selected. Specifically, when the total number of winning is in the first range (the range from 0 to 199), the sub control CPU 40a selects the first lottery table corresponding to the first lottery state, and the second range (200 When it is in the range of from 1 to 499, the second lottery table corresponding to the second lottery state is selected. In addition, when the sub control CPU 40a is in the third range (range of 500 or more), the sub control CPU 40a selects the third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state.

  The sub control CPU 40a executes the winning ball number effect, the total number of winnings stored in the sub control RAM 40c, and the number of winning balls set in the big winning opening 18 (10 in the present embodiment) Is calculated to calculate the total number of winning balls, and the effect display device EH is controlled to display information capable of specifying the calculated total number of winning balls. In the same manner as the first embodiment, the sub control CPU 40a counts the total number of winning balls, and displays information capable of specifying the total number of winning balls so that the winning number effect can be performed. It may be

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects are obtained.
(2-1) According to the present embodiment, the "total number of winning balls" is replaced with the "total number of winning combinations", and the same as the effects (1-1) to (1-7) of the first embodiment. Play the effect of

Third Embodiment
Next, a pachinko gaming machine 10 according to a third embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the third embodiment counts the big hit cumulative number obtained by totaling the number of big hit 10 R high probability big hits among the big hits instead of the cumulative number of winning balls and the cumulative number of winning, and according to the big hit cumulative number It differs from the first embodiment and the second embodiment in that the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is changed. The details will be described below.

  The sub control CPU 40a is configured to execute a big hit cumulative process instead of the winning ball cumulative process and the winning cumulative process. The big hit cumulative process is a process for counting the big hit cumulative number of 10 R high probability big hit in the counting period. The big hit cumulative processing will be described in detail below.

  The sub control CPU 40a executes the big hit cumulative process over the counting period and counts the big hit cumulative number. The sub control CPU 40a specifies whether or not it is in the counting period based on various control commands input from the main control board 30, as in the first embodiment. Here, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment is configured to set, in the output buffer, an opening command capable of specifying the type of the big hit (big hit game) in the big hit game processing.

  When an opening command (including the start time of the counting period) is input in the counting period, the sub control CPU 40a specifies the type of big hit (big hit game) based on the opening command. Then, when the secondary control CPU 40a specifies 10R high probability big hit, it updates by adding 1 to the big hit cumulative number stored in the secondary control RAM 40c. On the other hand, when the sub control CPU 40a identifies a big hit other than the 10R high probability big hit, it does not update the big hit cumulative number stored in the sub control RAM 40c. In the big hit cumulative process, when the sub control CPU 40a specifies the end of the effect period, the big hit cumulative number stored in the sub control RAM 40 c is updated to an initial value (for example, 0 times).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the sub control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state based on various control commands input from the main control board 30 in the specific effect setting process. If the sub-control CPU 40a specifies that the gaming state with no low probability time is short, it selects a third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state. If the sub-control CPU 40a identifies that the gaming state is high and short, it selects the third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state.

  If the sub control CPU 40a identifies that the gaming state is low probability time short, it refers to the big hit cumulative number stored in the secondary control RAM 40 c to identify the big hit cumulative number, and according to the specified big hit cumulative number The lottery table corresponding to the selected lottery state is selected. Specifically, when the jackpot cumulative number is in the first range (the range of 0 times), the sub control CPU 40a selects the first lottery table corresponding to the first lottery state, and selects the second range (one to four times). When it is the range of the brow), the second lottery table corresponding to the second lottery state is selected. In addition, when the sub control CPU 40a is in the third range (range of five or more times), the sub control CPU 40a selects a third lottery table corresponding to the third lottery state.

  In the present embodiment, the winning ball effect can be performed by adopting the same configuration as that of the first embodiment or the second embodiment. In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 40a executes the big hit cumulative processing to accumulate 10 R high probability big hits out of the big hits in the counting period (specific period) which is all of the period in the advantageous state. The function as a means is realized. In the present embodiment, the 10R high probability jackpot corresponds to a specific jackpot. Then, in the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is configured to be variable according to the big hit cumulative number obtained by adding the number of 10 R high probability big hits by the sub control CPU 40a as the big hit cumulative means. There is.

Next, a specific example of the change state of the lottery state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, at time T20, the gaming state with no low probability time is controlled. At time T21, the first hit is made, and it is assumed that the 5R high probability big hit game is awarded. In this case, since the big hit cumulative number is not updated, it remains 0, which is the initial value. After the end of the 5R high probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with high probability time short.

  At time T22, it is assumed that the second big hit (so-called, two consecutive chans) is given and the 10R low probability big hit game is given. In this case, the big hit cumulative number remains at 0, which is the initial value, because it is not updated. From time T23, since the 10R low probability big hit game ends, it is controlled to the game state with low probability time short. That is, in this case, the period from time point T21 to time point T23 is a period in which the advantageous state is achieved, and is a counting period in which the big hit cumulative number is counted.

  When it is controlled to the game state with low probability time short, the secondary control CPU 40a appears a specific effect at a rate based on the first lottery state according to the big hit cumulative number being the first range (the range of 0 times) Let For this reason, in the present embodiment, in a situation where the number of big hits is relatively small, the appearance rate of a specific effect in which a player tends to have a sense of expectation is more likely to appear than a situation where the number of big hits is relatively large. It has become. After that, from time T24, after the 10R low probability big hit game is over, the time saving state is ended when the fluctuation game of the number of operations (for example, 100 times) is executed, and the low probability time is not short Transition to gaming state. In this case, the jackpot cumulative number stored in the sub control RAM 40c is updated to an initial value (0 in the present embodiment).

  Next, at time T25, it is assumed that the second hit is made and the 10R high probability big hit game is awarded. In this case, since the big hit cumulative number is updated by one and updated, it becomes one. After the end of the 10R high probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with high probability time short. At time T26, it is assumed that a second big hit (so-called, two consecutive chans) has been made since the first hit, and a 10R low probability big hit game is awarded. In this case, the big hit cumulative number remains once since it is not updated.

  From time T27, since the 10R low probability big hit game ends, it is controlled to the game state with low probability time short. When being controlled to the game state with low probability time short, secondary control CPU40a, according to the big hit cumulative number being the 2nd range (range of 1 time to 4 times), the ratio based on the 2nd lottery state Make a specific effect appear. That is, in the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T27, the appearance rate of the specific effect is changed compared to the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T23, more specifically, The appearance rate of specific effects falls.

  Thereafter, at time T28, it is assumed that the big hit cumulative number has been updated to 5 times. At time T28, it is assumed that a big hit is made and a 10R low probability big hit game is given. In this case, the big hit cumulative number remains 5 times because it is not updated. At time T29, after the end of the 10R low probability big hit game, it is controlled to the gaming state with low probability time short. In this case, at least the period from time T25 to time T27 and the period immediately before time T29 among the periods from time T25 to time T29 are the advantageous time periods and the big hit cumulative number is counted. Counting period. When being controlled to the game state with low probability time short, secondary control CPU40a, according to the big hit cumulative number being the 3rd range (the range of 5 times or more), the specific effect in proportion based on the 3rd lottery state Make it appear. That is, in the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T29, the appearance rate of the specific effect is changed as compared with the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T23 and T27, and more specifically The appearance rate of specific effects falls. As described above, in the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period can be changed to different appearance rates when the big hit cumulative number is the first cumulative number and the second cumulative number. It is configured.

  As described above, the gaming state with low probability time short started from time T23, the gaming state with low precision time short starting from time T27, and the gaming state with low probability time short starting from time T29 Although the same gaming state, the appearance rate of the specific effect is different according to the big hit cumulative number. In addition, in the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T23 and the gaming state with low certainty and short starting from time T27, the total jackpot number obtained by totaling all the big hit numbers in the counting period is the same number Even in this case (twice in this case), the appearance rate of the specific effect differs depending on the number of big hit cumulative numbers of 10 R high probability big hit. That is, even if the number of big hits in the counting period is the same, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is configured to be changeable according to the big hit cumulative number of 10 R high probability big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the advantageous state may include a plurality of jackpots. Here, although not illustrated, in the present embodiment, even if the number of times of the 5R high probability big hit as the first big hit is the same number, the big hit cumulative according to the number of times the 10 R high probability big hit in the consecutive chan Differences in numbers may occur. That is, in this embodiment, even if the number of first big hits in the counting period as the specific period is the same, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is configured to be changeable according to the big hit cumulative number It can be said that

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects are obtained.
(3-1) According to the present embodiment, in the counting period (specific period) in which the number of 10R high probability big hits is accumulated, the player is controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to the player. And in this embodiment, according to the number (big hit cumulative number) of 10R high probability big hits in such a counting period, the appearance mode of the specific effect after the end of a counting period can change, and the execution mode of production Can change it. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

  (3-2) According to the present embodiment, the 10R high probability big hit and the different 5R high probability big hit are different in the total opening time of the big winning opening 18. And, even if the total jackpot cumulative number obtained by totaling the number of jackpots in the counting period is the same, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period can be changed according to the number of 10R high probability jackpots . Thus, the type of big hit during the counting period can be made more interesting.

  (3-3) According to the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect decreases as the number of big hit cumulative total of 10 R high probability big hit increases. For this reason, the change of the appearance rate of specific presentation can be enjoyed more. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

  (3-4) According to the present embodiment, the appearance ratio of the specific effect differs between when the big hit cumulative number is the first cumulative number and when it is the second cumulative number. For this reason, the change of the appearance rate of specific presentation can be enjoyed more. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest.

For example, the embodiment described above may be changed to another embodiment as follows.
The first embodiment or the second embodiment may be combined with the third embodiment.
In the case where the first embodiment and the third embodiment are combined, for example, when the big hit cumulative number is in the first range, the sub control CPU 40a determines whether the cumulative number of winning balls is in the first range to the third range. In response, a different lottery table is selected from the first group of lottery tables. When the big hit cumulative number is in the second range, the sub control CPU 40a selects a lottery table different from the second group of lottery tables according to which of the first range to the third range is the cumulative number of winning balls. select. If the big hit cumulative number is in the third range, the sub control CPU 40a selects a lottery table which is different from the third group of lottery tables according to which of the first range to the third range is the cumulative number of winning balls. select. Here, in the first group, the second group, and the third group, all of the lottery tables may be different from each other, or some of the lottery tables may be different from each other. May be the same.

  Conversely, when the total number of winning balls is in the first range, the sub control CPU 40a differs from among the first group of drawing tables according to which of the first to third ranges the big hit cumulative number is in the first range. A lottery table may be selected. Further, when the total number of winning balls is in the second range, the sub control CPU 40a selects a drawing different from the second group of drawing tables depending on which of the first to third ranges the big hit total number is. Select a table When the total number of winning balls is in the third range, the sub control CPU 40a selects a lottery table which is different from the third group of lottery tables depending on whether the big hit cumulative number is in the first range to the third range. Make it a choice.

  Under such a configuration, for example, when the number of big hits and the number of winning balls are both in the first range, the appearance rate of the specific effect is maximized, and conversely, the number of big hits and the prize If all the sphere cumulative numbers are in the third range, it is preferable that the appearance rate of the specific effect be the lowest. Similarly, it is also possible to combine the second embodiment and the third embodiment.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, the first condition that is satisfied when the jackpot cumulative number is the first predetermined number, the cumulative number of winning balls, or the winning combination is the second predetermined number. The appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is configured to be changeable to different appearance rates when the first condition is satisfied and when the second condition is satisfied. It is also good. Further, the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period may be configured to be changeable to a different appearance rate depending on whether the second condition is satisfied, when the first condition is satisfied.

  In addition, after the end of the counting period, the sub control CPU 40a causes the specific effect to be executed as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment for the first period, and for the second period different from the first period. The specific effect may be performed as in the third embodiment. The sub control CPU 40a may change by lottery whether or not to execute the specific effect as in the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment after the end of the counting period. .

  Also, among the specific effects, the first embodiment or the second embodiment is applied to the execution of the first specific effect (predetermined effect), and the third embodiment is applied to the execution of the second specific effect. May be As described above, in the third embodiment, the appearance rate of the specific effect (predetermined effect) after the end of the counting period is a winning ball obtained by accumulating the number of winning balls triggered by the winning of the special winning opening 18 in the counting period. It may be configured to be changeable according to the cumulative number or the cumulative number of winnings obtained by totalizing the number of winnings to the special winning opening 18 in the counting period. In this case, the number of winning balls accumulated or the number of winning combinations to be counted is the winning opening (ball opening) and the winning opening opened in the big hit game (big winning opening 18) are different winning openings. Also, it may be the same winning opening.

  In the first embodiment, the hit may include a small hit that opens the big winning opening 18 a predetermined number of times. That is, the big winning opening 18 may be opened other than the big hit time. In the following description, a hit game based on a small hit may be indicated as a "small hit game", and a state in which a small hit game is provided may be indicated as a "small hit state". The main control CPU 30a does not change the gaming state (probability state and ball filling rate state) before and after the small hit game. The pachinko gaming machine 10 may have a plurality of small hit occurrence states as different small hit occurrence (winning) times per unit time. For example, the small hit generation state may include a low small hit generation state and a high small hit generation state in which the small hit generation frequency per unit time is larger than the low small hit generation state.

  For example, a low small hit generation state is realized by combining a low probability state, a low ball entry state, and a non-fluctuation time shortening state, while a high small hit generation state is a high probability state and low It may be realized by combining the ball falling rate state and the fluctuation time shortening state. In this case, the average variation time of the second variation game in the non-variation time reduction state is taken as the first time, eg, 10 minutes, and the average variation time of the second fluctuation game in the variation time reduction state is, eg, 2 seconds The time may be two hours, and the first time may be set to an extremely long time relative to the second time.

  In such another example, the advantageous state (counting period) can be grasped as being configured from the big hit state and the high / low hit state (including the small hit state). Then, in the advantageous state (counting period), the sub-control CPU 40a may count the cumulative number of winning balls by accumulating both the number of winning balls in the big hit state and the number of winning balls in the small hit state. Only the number of winning balls in the state may be accumulated to count the total number of winning balls. In this example, the sub-control CPU 40a may display the prize ball number information capable of specifying the cumulative number of prize balls over the entire period of the advantageous state, and the prize balls only in the high / small hit occurrence state. The number information may be displayed, and the prize ball number information may be displayed over a specific big hit game and a high / small hit number status granted after the specific big hit game is over.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this example, as a result of accumulating the number of winning balls in the small hitting state and counting the cumulative number of winning balls, the high and small hitting occurrence state (including the small hitting state) is obtained. A situation may occur in which the cumulative number of winning balls transitions such as the first range → the second range or the second range → the third range. That is, according to this another example, even when the gaming state remains "high probability no time absence" and does not change, the appearance rate of the specific effect can be changed according to the total number of winning balls There is. As described above, in this example, it is possible to grasp, as the counting period (specific period), a period until the predetermined small hit state ends after the advantageous state starts, of the periods in the advantageous state. It can be said that the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the period is configured to be changeable according to the total number of winning balls.

  And in this example, since the total number of winning balls can be increased by the number of winning balls in the small hitting state, the appearance of the specific effect even if the number of big hitting in the advantageous state or the number of winning balls in the big hitting state is the same The rates may be different. Note that, in this alternative example, among the periods in the advantageous state, the period excluding the big hit state does not necessarily have to be the high / low hit occurrence state. That is, in this example, in the advantageous state, regardless of the number of occurrences of small hits per unit time, big hit state, gaming state without high probability time short, gaming state with high probability time short, and low probability time short with Of the gaming states, one or more may be determined in combination. For example, when a game state with high probability time short is defined as an advantageous state, and a period in which the game state with high probability time short is included is included in the count period, the game state does not change with high probability time short Also, the appearance rate of the specific effect can be changed according to the total number of winning balls.

  As described above, in this example, since the appearance rate of the specific effect may change due to the difference in the number of prize balls in the small hit state, interest in the small hit during the counting period is also required. Can. The cumulative number of winnings in the second embodiment can be similarly changed. In the third embodiment, the number of small hits may be accumulated, and the appearance rate of the specific effect may be changed according to the result of the accumulation.

  In the first embodiment, in addition to or instead of the special winning opening 18, the sub-control CPU 40a includes the winning balls cumulative number including the number of winning balls triggered by the winning in other winning openings such as the normal winning opening 21. The number may be counted. In this case, the main control CPU 30a, in addition to or instead of the special winning opening 18, the control command capable of specifying the number of winning balls triggered by winning to other winning openings such as the normal winning opening 21 as a secondary control board It may be configured to output to 40. The number of winning combinations in the second embodiment can be similarly changed. In the second embodiment, instead of the large winning opening 18, the number of passing (entering) to the gate 20 is accumulated to count the accumulated number of balls, and the lottery state is determined according to the accumulated number of received balls. May be changed.

  In the second embodiment, the winning ball command may be a control command that can specify only that there is a winning on the big winning opening 18. In the second embodiment, the cumulative number of winning balls is counted as in the first embodiment, and the cumulative number of winning balls is the number of winning balls (for example, 10) triggered by the winning in the big winning opening 18. The winning combination may be counted (calculated) by division.

  In the third embodiment, the big hit may be changed by accumulating the number of big hits in the counting period. For example, the sub control CPU 40a may count the number of big hit cumulative numbers of 5R high probability big hit. That is, the player may count the jackpot advantageous to the player, and conversely, may count the jackpot disadvantageous to the player.

  In the third embodiment, the total jackpot cumulative number obtained by cumulating the number of jackpots in the counting period may be accumulated. In this case, the sub control CPU 40a may be configured to change the appearance rate of the specific effect in accordance with the total number of big wins in addition to the number of big hits of 10 R high probability big hit.

In each embodiment, the normal winning opening 21 may be configured to be changeable between a state in which ball entry is permitted and a state in which ball entry is restricted.
In each embodiment, the period in the advantageous state is the period in the gaming state with high probability and short, and the period in the gaming state with low probability and short in addition to or instead of the period in the big hit state. May be included. In this case, the sub-control CPU 40a counts the appearance rate of the specific effects, the total number of winning balls, and the total number of prizes, for the variation game after transitioning to the gaming state with low probability time short without taking the end of variation game of operation number. It may be configured to be variable according to the number or the big hit cumulative number.

  In each embodiment, the specific effect may be a dedicated effect that can be performed only in the gaming state with low probability and short time. That is, the specific effect may be an effect that does not appear in the counting period but appears only after the end of the counting period.

  In each embodiment, the number of ranges serving as a reference when selecting a lottery table, that is, the number of lottery states may be changed. For example, the number of ranges may be two, that is, the first range and the second range, and may be four or more, including the fourth range. In addition, the numerical value range itself to be a reference when selecting the lottery table may be changed. For example, in the first embodiment, the first range may be from 0 to 4999, the second range may be from 5000 to 9999, and the third range may be 10000 or more. . The same can be applied to the other embodiments.

  In each embodiment, a second large winning opening may be provided separately from the large winning opening 18. In this case, in the first and second embodiments, the total number (the total number of winning balls or the total number of winnings) is updated for the winnings on any one of the plurality of big winning openings. The total number (total number of winning balls, or total number of winnings) may be updated for winnings on both of the big winning openings.

  ・ Also, in the big hit game, open one of the big winning opening 18 and the second big winning opening, and in the small hitting game mentioned above, open the other of the big winning opening 18 and the second big winning opening. You may For example, in the present another example, when counting the number of winning balls by accumulating only one of the number of winning balls in the small hitting state and the number of winning balls in the large hitting state, among a plurality of big winning openings, It can be understood that the appearance rate of the specific effect after the end of the counting period is configured to be changeable in accordance with the cumulative number of winning balls obtained by totaling the number of winning balls triggered by the winning on a specific big winning opening. The cumulative number of winnings in the second embodiment can be similarly changed.

In each embodiment, the upper limit number of round games constituting the big hit game, the upper limit number in each round game, and the upper limit time in each round game may be changed as appropriate.
In each embodiment, the smaller the number of winning balls, the total number of winning, or the number of big hits, the lower the appearance rate of specific effects after the end of the counting period, and conversely, the larger the number of winning effects, the more after the end of the counting period. You may comprise so that the appearance rate of specific presentation may become high.

  In each embodiment, the counting period as the specific period may be a part of the period in the advantageous state. For example, the counting period defines a period of time until the big hit game is started a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) after the big hit game based on the first hit starts in the advantageous state period, and thereafter You may not do this. Conversely, the counting period may include a 10R low probability big hit game in which the advantageous state is to end, and may define a period of time until the end of the advantageous state from the start of the big hit game which is traced back a predetermined number of times from the big hit.

The appearance rate of the specific effect in each embodiment is merely an example and can be changed as appropriate.
In each embodiment, the specific effect may be an effect that has a low probability of hitting a big hit. In this case, the larger the number of winning balls, the total number of winnings, or the number of big hits, that is, the larger the number of big hits, the lower the appearance rate of the specific effects that can not be expected in the big hit. Generally, for a player who has acquired a large number of big hits, there is a possibility that a specific effect with a low probability of big hit may cause rather annoying feeling, but in this example, the appearance rate of the specific effect increases as the total number increases. Lowers, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest after the end of the counting period.

  In each embodiment, the specific effect may be an effect that makes it possible to specify an expectation (hereinafter, indicated as a specific expectation) which is a 10R high probability big hit among the big hit. Then, the specific effect may be an effect having a high degree of specific expectation.

  -In each embodiment, the big hit expectation degree and specific expectation degree of a specific effect may be comprised so that it may change according to a lottery state (lottery table), and you may comprise so that it may not change. For example, the specific effect may be an effect of jackpot determination in a specific lottery state (for example, the first lottery state or the third lottery state).

  In each embodiment, each lottery state may be configured to be arbitrarily selectable by the player. For example, in the case of the first embodiment, the sub-control CPU 40a selects a plurality of selectable items when the cumulative total of the winning balls is in the first range, in the second range, and in the third range. The effect display device EH is controlled to display information capable of specifying the lottery state (lottery table). Then, the sub control CPU 40a may determine whether or not to execute the specific effect by using the lottery table corresponding to the lottery state selected by the operation of the operation means (such as the operation switch) by the player.

  In each embodiment, the method of changing the appearance rate of the specific effect is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, like the first specific effect dedicated in the first lottery state, the second specific effect dedicated in the second lottery state, and the third specific effect dedicated in the third lottery state, the specific effect is, By being a dedicated effect in each lottery state, it may be configured so as not to appear unless it is each lottery state.

  -In each embodiment, you may change the execution aspect of a specific performance. For example, the specific effect may be an effect that displays an image or a moving image depicting a predetermined character, or an effect that changes the variation pattern of the effect pattern to a special variation pattern, or the effect pattern of each row It may be an effect of changing itself.

  In each embodiment, the specific effect may be any one of the display effect, the sound effect, and the light emission effect, or any one of movable object effects for operating a movable body (character object) for effect, or It may be performed combining two or more. That is, the effect execution means is not limited to being configured with only the effect display device EH.

  In each embodiment, the number of winning balls determined for each winning opening 15, 16, 18, 21 may be changed as appropriate. For example, the same number of winning balls may be determined for all the winning openings or a plurality of winning openings.

  -In each embodiment, even if the upper limit number of round games is the same, the opening mode of the big winning opening 18 is different, and the total opening time of the big winning opening 18 in one big hit is provided with a plurality of big hit different It may be In each embodiment, the number of types of jackpots may be changed. For example, after the end of the jackpot game, there may be a jackpot that is determined to provide a gaming state without high accuracy time short.

  In each embodiment, the high probability state is awarded after the end of the big hit game, provided that the gaming ball has passed a specific area (so-called, V zone) inside the big winning opening 18, that is, the condition of occurrence of V winning. You may In addition, the high probability state may end upon winning of the fall lottery.

In each embodiment, the first special game and the second special game may be executed in the order in which execution is suspended, may be alternately executed, and may be concurrently executed in parallel.
