On the other hand, the player can not enter the second starting opening 17, the second big winning opening 22, and the gate 19. On the other hand, the game ball flowing down the right side in front view of the effect display device 14 disposed on the game board 11 can enter the second start opening 17, the second big winning opening 22, and the gate 19, while the first It can not enter the starting opening 15 or the first big winning opening 21.

  That is, while the first large winning opening 21 is disposed on the flow-down path of the gaming ball capable of entering the first starting opening 15, the second starting opening 17, the second large winning opening 22 and the gate 19 are provided. Is not provided. In addition, the second large winning opening 22 and the gate 19 are disposed on the flow-down path of the gaming ball capable of entering the second starting opening 17, while the first starting opening 15 and the first large winning opening 21 Is not provided.

  And, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the obstacle nail as the flow-down direction changing member is different in order to make it different depending on which one of the front view left side and the front view right side of the effect display device 14 flows down. And a windmill etc. are disposed on the game board 11. In the following description, in the case of "propelling the ball to enter the first start opening 15 and firing the game ball", the game ball is allowed to flow down the flow path of the game ball capable of entering the first start opening 15 It means to fire. Similarly, in the case of saying that "the game ball is shot by aiming at entering the second start port 17", the game ball is fired so as to flow down the flow-down path of the game ball capable of entering the second start port 17. It means that.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the second big winning opening 22, the second starting opening 17, and the gate 19 are disposed in order from the upstream side on the flow-down path of the gaming ball on the right side of the effect display device 14 in front view. It is done. When the second start opening 17 is disposed on the upstream side of the second large winning opening 22 on the flow-down path of the gaming ball on the right side of the effect display device 14 in a front view, the second large winning opening 22 is opened. However, the gaming ball may enter the upstream second starting opening 17 and it may be difficult to enter the gaming ball into the second large winning opening 22. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the second large winning opening 22 is disposed on the upstream side of the second starting opening 17 on the flow-down path of the gaming ball on the right side of the effect display device 14 in front view. Thus, it is possible to suppress the difficulty of causing the game ball to enter the second large winning opening 22.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a probability fluctuation state (hereinafter, referred to as a "probability state") may be generated. When a probability change state is occurring (granted), the winning probability of the big hit lottery is higher than when the probability change state is not triggered. The positive change state is continuously generated until the end condition of the positive change state is satisfied. The “final change condition final condition” in the present embodiment is established (when the jackpot lottery is won) by the occurrence of the jackpot game.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is not generated, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. In addition, when the probability variation state is generated, the winning probability of the first jackpot lottery and the winning probability of the second jackpot lottery are the same. Incidentally, the winning probability of the small hit lottery does not change depending on whether or not the definite change state is generated.

  Next, the types of jackpots will be described. In the present embodiment, in the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery, the types of big wins that can be determined when winning, and the rates at which various big hits are determined are made different.

  The jackpots that can be determined when winning the first jackpot lottery are the probability variation big hit and the first non probability variation big hit. In addition, jackpots that can be determined when the second jackpot lottery is won include a probability variation big hit and a second non probability variation big hit. Incidentally, when the first big hit lottery is won in the present embodiment, the probability variation big hit with a probability of 60%, the first non probability variation big hit is determined with a probability of 40%. Further, when the second big hit lottery is won in the present embodiment, the probability variation big hit with a probability of 60%, and the second non probability variation big hit is determined with a probability of 40%.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of open games in the big hit game based on the odd variation big hit, the big hit game based on the first non probability variation big hit, and the big hit game based on the second non odd variation big hit is the same number . Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the number of open games in the big hit game based on the certain variation big hit, the big hit game based on the first non-finite variation big hit, and the big hit game based on the second non definite variation big hit is “15 times”. Also, in the big hit game based on the definite variation big hit and the big hit game based on the second non-positive variation big hit, the second big winning opening 22 is opened. On the other hand, in the big hit game based on the first non-deterministic variation big hit, the first big winning opening 21 is in the open state.

  In addition, when a big hit game based on the positive variation big hit is generated, a positive variation state is generated after the end of the big hit game (shown as “positive variation state” in the drawing). On the other hand, when a big hit game based on the first non-deterministic big hit or the second non-positive big hit is generated, a positive change state is not generated after the end of the big hit game (shown as "non-positive change" in the drawing).

  Next, the small hit will be described. As described above, when a small hit game is generated (granted) triggered by the small hit lottery winning, the second large winning opening 22 is opened in a predetermined manner during the small hit game, and the second Entry of gaming balls into the big winning opening 22 is permitted.

  In the small hit game in the present embodiment, the second large winning opening 22 is opened at least once only for a time when it is easy for the game ball to enter the second large winning opening 22. Specifically, in the small hit game of the present embodiment, the second large winning opening 22 is opened only for 1.5 seconds (opened for the first time) and then closed for 0.5 seconds, and again for 2 seconds. Only in the open state (the second open). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, during the small hit game, entry of the game ball to the second large winning opening 22 is permitted multiple times, but the second large win is performed only once in one small hit game. It may be configured to allow entry of the gaming ball into the mouth 22.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the second large winning opening 22 in the small hit game is a game than the time when it is easy to bring the game ball into the first large winning opening 21 or the second large winning opening 22 in the big hit game The time when it is easy to enter the ball is set shorter. In addition, the time when it is easy to enter the game ball into the first large winning opening 21 or the second large winning opening 22 in the big hit game, and the game ball into the second large winning opening 22 in the small hit game The time when it is easy may be determined at the same time. In addition, the game ball is made to enter the second big winning opening 22 in the small hitting game than the time when it is easy to cause the game ball to enter the first big winning opening 21 or the second big winning opening 22 in the big hit game The time when it is easy may be determined longer.

  When the small hit lottery is won, the occurrence of the positive change state is not ended or the positive change state is not triggered by the win of the small hit drawing, and the gaming state is maintained. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, while the gaming state may be changed with the win of the big hit lottery, the gaming state may not be changed with the win of the small hit lottery.

  Next, the normal hit will be described. As described above, when a normal hit game is generated (granted) triggered by the selection of a normal hit lottery, the second start port 17 is opened in a predetermined manner during the normal hit game, and the second start port 17 Entry of gaming balls into the game is permitted.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the ordinary hit games include a first ordinary hit game based on the first ordinary hit and a second ordinary hit game based on the second ordinary hit. In the first ordinary hit game, the time per opening of the open / close blades 16 is longer than that of the second ordinary hit game. On the other hand, in the second normal hit game, the open / close blades 16 are opened more frequently in the normal hit game than in the first normal hit game.

Next, a control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described based on FIG.
On the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a main control board 30 as a main control unit is mounted. The main control board 30 executes various processes and outputs various control commands according to the process result. Further, on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a sub control board 31 as a sub control unit is mounted. The sub control board 31 is based on the control command output from the main control board 30, the display mode (display image of symbol, background, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 14, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp LA, the sound of the speaker SP Control the output mode.

First, the main control board 30 will be described.
The main control board 30 includes a main control CPU 30a that executes control operations according to a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b that stores control programs for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control RAM 30c that can write and read necessary data. It is provided.

  A first start sensor SE1 and a second start sensor SE2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, a first count sensor CS1 and a second count sensor CS2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, a gate sensor GS is connected to the main control CPU 30a. The various sensors SE1, SE2, CS1, CS2, GS are connected to the main control CPU 30a so that the main control CPU 30a can input a detection signal that is output when the game ball is detected.

  Each of the special symbol display devices 25 and 27 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. Each hold display device 26, 28 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. The actuators DA1, DA2, FA are connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a fluctuation pattern as fluctuation information and a fluctuation pattern table as a fluctuation information group (variation pattern group). The variation pattern table is configured of a variation pattern that can be determined among a plurality of types of variation patterns, and determination rates (decision percentages) of various variation patterns that can be determined are defined. Further, depending on the type of fluctuation pattern table, the type of fluctuation pattern that can be determined, the determination probability (decision ratio) of various fluctuation patterns, and the like differ. A description of various fluctuation pattern tables will be given later.

  The fluctuation pattern of the symbol fluctuation game is set in the fluctuation pattern. In the present embodiment, the “variation time of the symbol variation game” refers to the time from the start of the special symbol variation game to the end of the special symbol variation game.

  The variation patterns include a variation pattern for a big hit presentation and a variation pattern for a non-big hit presentation. The variation pattern for the jackpot effect is a variation pattern that can be determined at the time of the jackpot (when the jackpot lottery is won). The variation pattern for non-big hit effects is determined when it is not a big hit, that is, when it is a small hit (when a small hit lottery is won) or when it is out of place (when a big hit lottery or a small hit lottery is not won) Possible variation pattern.

  In this embodiment, a variation pattern for non-big hit effect common to the small hit and the non-big hit is determined, but a different variation pattern is determined to be determined when the small hit and the deviation. It is also good. For example, in the case of a small hit, a variation pattern for small hit presentation may be determined, and in the case of an out, a variation pattern for outlying presentation may be determined. At this time, there may be a case where the variation pattern for the shift effect is determined when the small hit, or the variation pattern for the small hit effect is determined when the fall.

  Also, the main control ROM 30b stores a normal pattern variation pattern. In the normal symbol fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation game is defined. The normal symbol fluctuation pattern may be divided into an ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern which can be determined when winning an ordinary hit lottery and an ordinary symbol fluctuation pattern which can be decided when not winning an ordinary hit lottery.

  Further, various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a big hit determination value. The big hit judgment value is a judgment value used in the big hit lottery. The number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state is generated is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when the probability variation state is not generated. Further, the jackpot determination value when the definite variation state is generated includes all of the jackpot determination values when the definite variation state is not generated.

  The main control ROM 30b also stores a small hit determination value. The small hit judgment value is a judgment value used in the small hit lottery. Also, the small hit determination value is set to a value different from the big hit determination value. In addition, the main control ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the normal hit lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the big hit lottery (first big hit lottery) performed upon entering the first starting opening 15 and the second starting opening 17 The winning probability of the big hit lottery (the second big hit lottery) to be performed triggered by the entry to the same, and the same winning probability (shown as "1/300" in the drawing) in the situation where no definite change state is generated It becomes. Similarly, the winning probability of the first big hit lottery and the winning probability of the second big hit lottery are both the same winning probability (shown as "10/300" in the drawing) in the situation where the definite variation state is generated. . As described above, when a definite change state is not generated, the probability that the game ball enters the first starting hole 15 as a chance to hit a jackpot is a big hit as the game ball enters the second starting hole 17 as a trigger. Is the same as the probability of becoming Similarly, when a probability change state is being generated, the probability that the game ball enters the first starting opening 15 as a chance to win a jackpot is a big hit as the game starting ball enters the second starting opening 17 as a trigger. Is the same as the probability of

  In addition, the winning probability of the small hit lottery does not change depending on whether or not a definite change state is generated. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, since a small hit lottery is not performed in response to the ball entering the first starting opening 15, diagonal lines are drawn in the drawing. And in this embodiment, the probability (it shows as "289/300" in the drawing) of being a small hit triggered by the ball entering the second starting port 17 is triggered by the ball entering the first starting port 15. It is higher than the probability of being a small hit (“0%” because a small hit lottery is not performed). As described above, the small hit is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 17 as the second entry means both in the occurrence of the positive variation state and in the absence of the positive variation state. The probability of becoming is higher than the probability of becoming a small hit triggered by the entry of the gaming ball into the first starting opening 15 as the first entry means.

  When the game ball enters the first starting opening 15 when a definite change state is not generated (indicated as "non-fixed change state" in the drawing), the jackpot lottery row under the probability of winning "1/300" The probability of being out of the game is "299/300" because the small hit lottery is not performed. In addition, when the game ball enters the first starting opening 15 when a definite change state is generated (shown as "positive change state" in the drawing), a big hit lottery is made under the winning probability of "10/300". Since it is performed and a small hit lottery is not performed, the probability of being out is “290/300”.

  On the other hand, when the game ball enters the second starting opening 17 when a definite change state is not generated, a big hit lottery is performed under the winning probability of "1/300", and the winning probability of "289/300" Since a small hit lottery is conducted under the game, the probability of being out is "10/300". In addition, when the game ball enters the second starting opening 17 while a definite change state is occurring, a big hit lottery is performed under the winning probability of "10/300", and the winning probability of "289/300" Since a small hit lottery is conducted under the game, the probability of being out is "1/300".

  As described above, when the game ball enters the second starting opening 17, if the second big hit lottery is not won, the probability is close to 100% (for example, the probability of 85% to 100%), the small hit lottery To win. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability of not winning any of the second big hit lottery and the small hit lottery (probability of losing) is "about 3.3%" when no definite change state is generated. , "About 0.3%" at the time when a definite change state is occurring.

  The main control RAM 30 c stores (sets) various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a main high certainty flag indicating whether or not a definite change state is occurring. Further, in the main control RAM 30c, table information capable of specifying the type of the variation pattern table to be referred to is stored.

  In the main control board 30, it is used as a random number for collision determination, a random number for special symbol distribution, a random number for variation pattern distribution, a random number for normal collision determination, a random number for normal symbol distribution, and a random number for common symbol variation pattern Various random numbers (numeric data, numerical information) are generated. Incidentally, the random number for hit determination is a random number used for a big hit lottery or a small hit lottery. The special symbol distribution random number is a random number used when determining the type of the big hit. The fluctuation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the fluctuation pattern. The normal hit determination random number is a random number used for a normal hit lottery. The normal symbol distribution random number is a random number used to determine the type of the normal hit. The normal symbol variation pattern random number is a random number used when determining the normal symbol variation pattern. The random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the sub control board 31 will be described.
The sub control board 31 includes a sub control CPU 31a that executes control operations according to a predetermined procedure, a sub control ROM 31b that stores a control program of the sub control CPU 31a, and a sub control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided.

  The effect display device 14 is connected to the sub control CPU 31a. Further, a decoration lamp LA is connected to the sub control CPU 31a. Further, a speaker SP is connected to the sub control CPU 31a.

The sub control ROM 31 b stores various image display data (image data such as decorative patterns and background images), various light emission data, and various sound data.
The sub-control RAM 31 c stores (sets) various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, in the sub control RAM 31 c, a sub high probability flag is stored which indicates whether or not a probability change state is occurring.

Hereinafter, control contents executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 and the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 will be described.
First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the control program will be described.

First, special symbol input processing will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal output from the first start sensor SE1, the first pending storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number ("4" in this embodiment). The first hold determination of whether or not If the determination result of the first holding determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the first holding storage number, and rewrites the first holding storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold display device 26 so as to indicate the first hold storage number after rewriting. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a first hold number command capable of specifying the first hold storage number after 1 addition to the sub control CPU 31a.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a generates various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (hit determination random number, special symbol distribution random number, and variation pattern distribution While acquiring the value of the random number), the main control RAM 30 c stores random number information that can specify the acquired values of the various random numbers. The values of various random numbers acquired at this time correspond to the values of various random numbers related to the first special symbol variation game. Hereinafter, random number information that can specify values of various random numbers related to the first special symbol variation game is referred to as “first random number information”.

  The first random number information may be configured by the value of the random number, or may be configured by information converted from the value of the random number to other identifiable information. In addition, when storing the first random number information, the main control CPU 30a enters the ball entry sequence (information storage sequence) of the gaming ball that triggered the acquisition of the value of the random number and the entry of the game ball entered earlier. It is stored in the main control RAM 30 c so that the sphere order (the storage order of information) can be specified. Thus, by storing the first random number information that can specify the values of various random numbers related to the first special symbol variation game in the main control RAM 30c, the first symbol variation game to be the target of the first winning lottery Execution is suspended.

  Also, if the determination result of the first hold determination is negative or after acquiring the values of various random numbers related to the first special symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a inputs a detection signal output by the second start sensor SE2 The second hold determination is performed as to whether or not the second hold storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number ("4" in the present embodiment). If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds one to the second hold storage number and rewrites the second hold storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second hold display device 28 so as to indicate the second hold storage number after rewriting.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a generates various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (a random number for hitting determination, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution While acquiring the value of the random number), the main control RAM 30 c stores random number information that can specify the value of the various random numbers. The values of various random numbers acquired at this time correspond to the values of various random numbers related to the second special symbol variation game. Hereinafter, random number information that can specify values of various random numbers related to the second special symbol variation game is referred to as “second random number information”.

  Similar to the first random number information, the second random number information may be configured by the value of the random number, or may be configured by information obtained by converting the value of the random number into other identifiable information. Also, when storing the second random number information, the main control CPU 30a enters the ball entry sequence (information storage sequence) of the gaming ball that triggered the acquisition of the value of the random number and the entry of the game ball entered earlier. It is stored in the main control RAM 30 c so that the sphere order (the storage order of information) can be specified. Thus, by storing the second random number information that can specify the values of various random numbers related to the second special symbol variation game in the main control RAM 30c, the second symbol variation game to be subjected to the second hit lottery Execution is suspended.

Then, when the determination result of the second hold determination is negative or after obtaining the values of various random numbers related to the second special symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.
Next, the first special symbol start process will be described.

  In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the first special symbol is in progress or not in the first special symbol variation game or in the hit game (big hit game, small hit game). If the determination result of the first special symbol in-progress determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the first special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the first special symbol in-progress determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a refers to the main control RAM 30c and determines whether or not the execution of the first special symbol variation game is suspended. Make a decision. If the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the first special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first holding determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a subtracts one from the first holding storage number to rewrite the first holding storage number, and the first control stored in the main control RAM 30c. The random number information (random number for determining the random number for collision determination, the random number for special symbol distribution, and the random number for variation pattern distribution) is read out. Furthermore, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold display device 26 so as to indicate the first hold storage count after rewriting.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the identifiable random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value from the read first random number information, and performs a big hit lottery (first big hit lottery). At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery using the big hit determination value according to whether or not a definite change state is occurring.

  When the first big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a stops at the first special symbol display device 25 based on the value of the special symbol allocation random number that can be identified from the read first random number information. Determine the jackpot design to be displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbol from among the jackpot symbols corresponding to any of the probability variation big hit and the first non probability variation big hit. The main control CPU 30a determines the type of big hit by determining the big hit symbol.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a refers to the fluctuation pattern table which can be identified from the table information, and determines the fluctuation pattern for the jackpot effect based on the value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number which can be identified from the read first random number information. , The first special symbol start processing ends.

  On the other hand, when the first big hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines the out-of-order symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 25 by stopping. After that, the main control CPU 30a refers to the variation pattern table that can be identified from the table information, and determines the variation pattern for non-big hit effect based on the value of the variation pattern distribution random number that can be identified from the read first random number information End the first special symbol start process.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control command generated according to the determined content to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a designates a variation pattern and outputs a first variation pattern designation command instructing the start of the first decorative symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a outputs a first special symbol designation command specifying the special symbol determined in the first special symbol start process to the sub control CPU 31a. Further, the main control CPU 30a performs control so as to change and display the special symbol of the first special symbol display device 25 so as to start the first special symbol variation game. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a first end command instructing the end of the first decorative symbol variation game when the variation time defined in the designated variation pattern has elapsed along with the passage of the variation time. The display content of the first special symbol display device 25 is controlled to stop and display the determined special symbol.

Next, the second special symbol start process will be described.
In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the second special symbol is in progress or not in the second special symbol variation game or in the hit game (big hit game, small hit game). If the determination result of the second special symbol in-progress determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the second special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second special symbol in-progress determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a refers to the main control RAM 30c, and holds the second special symbol whether or not the execution of the second special symbol variation game is suspended. Make a decision. If the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the second special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a subtracts one from the second hold storage number to rewrite the second hold storage number, and the second control stored in the main control RAM 30c. The random number information (random number for determining the random number for collision determination, the random number for special symbol distribution, and the random number for variation pattern distribution) is read out. Furthermore, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second hold display device 28 so as to indicate the second hold storage number after rewriting.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery (second big hit lottery) by determining whether the value of the identifiable random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value from the read second random number information. At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit lottery using the big hit determination value according to whether or not a definite change state is occurring.

  When the second big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a stops at the second special symbol display device 27 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number that can be identified from the read second random number information. Determine the jackpot design to be displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbol from among the jackpot symbols corresponding to any of the probability variation big hit and the second non probability variation big hit. The main control CPU 30a determines the type of big hit by determining the big hit symbol.

  After that, the main control CPU 30a refers to the fluctuation pattern table which can be identified from the table information, and determines the fluctuation pattern for the jackpot effect based on the value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number which can be identified from the read second random number information. , The second special symbol start processing ends.

  On the other hand, when the second big hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the hit determination random number that can be identified from the read second random number information matches the small hit determination value. Do a small hit lottery. When the small hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a determines a small hit symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 27 by stopping. After that, the main control CPU 30a refers to the fluctuation pattern table which can be identified from the table information, and determines the fluctuation pattern for non-big hit effect based on the value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number which can be identified from the read second random number information End the second special symbol start process.

  Further, when the second big hit lottery and the small hit lottery are not won, the main control CPU 30a determines the out-of-space symbol as a special symbol to be displayed by being stopped on the second special symbol display device 27. After that, the main control CPU 30a refers to the fluctuation pattern table which can be identified from the table information, and determines the fluctuation pattern for non-big hit effect based on the value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number which can be identified from the read second random number information End the second special symbol start process.

  When the variation pattern is determined in the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a outputs a control command generated according to the determined content to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a causing a hit game such as a big hit game or a small hit game triggered by a hit lottery (a big hit lottery or a small hit lottery won) is triggered by a hit lottery, It functions as a hit game occurrence means.

  The main control CPU 30a in the hit game process, when the big hit game is caused after the end of the first special symbol variation game to be won in the first big hit lottery, until the big hit game is ended, the first big hit lottery The first big hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30 c as information indicating that a big hit game is taking place, which is triggered by the winning of. At the same time, when the second special symbol variation game is being executed, the main control CPU 30a forcibly ends the second special symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display contents of the second special symbol display device 27 so as to stop and display the out-of-lot symbol regardless of the lottery result of the second hit lottery. That is, even when the second special symbol variation game being executed is a big hit or a small hit, when a big hit game is generated by winning the first big hit lottery, the second special symbol variation being executed is The game is forced off. In addition, the main control CPU 30a wins the first big hit lottery and a big hit game is generated, that is, on condition that the first big hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30 c, the second special A second cancel command that can specify forced termination of the symbol variation game is output to the sub control CPU 31a.

  In the present embodiment, when a winning game (big hit game) is generated by winning a hit lottery (first big hit lottery) performed in response to the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening 15, the first 2 Force the special symbol variation game to end and cancel. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second special symbol variation game is being executed, it becomes a hit in the lottery that is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening 15 and hit the hit game When is generated, it is preferred to cause the hit game over the second special symbol variation game being executed. In addition, it is given priority over the second special symbol variation game being executed as it is hit in the lottery which is performed triggered by the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening 15 and the hit is made to occur. At the same time, the execution of the second special symbol variation game is discontinued. Furthermore, in the second special symbol variation game in which the execution is stopped, a result capable of identifying that it is out is derived (the out symbol is stopped and displayed).

  The main control CPU 30a in the hit game process, when the big hit game is caused after the end of the second special symbol variation game to be won in the second big hit lottery, until the big hit game is over, the second big hit lottery The second big hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30 c as information indicating that a big hit game is taking place, which is triggered by the winning of. At the same time, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, the main control CPU 30a forcibly ends the first special symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 25 so as to stop and display the out-of-lot symbol regardless of the lottery result of the first hit lottery. The main control CPU 30a wins the second big hit lottery and a big hit game is generated (the second big hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30 c) as a condition, the first special symbol variation game The first cancellation command that can specify the forced termination of the second control CPU 31a is outputted to the sub control CPU 31a.

  In addition, when generating a small hit game after the end of the second special symbol variation game which is the target of the small hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a in the hit game processing, until the small hit game is ended, the small hit lottery The small hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30c as information indicating that a small hit game is being generated, which is triggered by the winning of. At the same time, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, the main control CPU 30a forcibly terminates the first special symbol variation game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 25 so as to stop and display the out-of-lot symbol regardless of the lottery result of the first hit lottery. The main control CPU 30a uses the first suspension command as a secondary control on condition that a small hit game is won by winning a small hit lottery (small hit occurrence information being stored in the main control RAM 30c). Output to the CPU 31a.

  In the present embodiment, information stored in the main control RAM 30c in the case where a big hit game is generated by winning a second big hit lottery and when a small hit game is created by winning a small hit lottery Although they do not have to be different. For example, during the occurrence of a big hit game triggered by the win of the second big hit lottery and during the occurrence of a small hit game triggered by the win of the small hit lottery, the second hit occurrence information is stored in the main control RAM 30c May be configured to

  In the present embodiment, a winning lottery (second big hit lottery or small hit lottery) performed in response to the entry of the game ball to the second starting opening 17 is won and a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) Is forced to end the first special symbol variation game and then stop. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, it becomes a hit in the lottery which is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 17 and hit the hit game When is generated, it is preferred to cause the hit game over the first special symbol variation game being executed. In addition, it is prioritized over the first special symbol variation game being executed to be hit in a winning lottery which is triggered by the entry of the gaming ball into the second starting opening 17 and to cause a hit in the winning lottery. At the same time, the execution of the first special symbol variation game is discontinued. Furthermore, in the first special symbol variation game in which the execution is suspended, a result capable of identifying that it is out is derived (the out symbol is stopped and displayed).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when the special symbol variation game of one of the two types of special symbol variation games is a big hit or a small hit and a hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is generated. , The execution of the other special symbol variation game is forced to end by disengaging, and it is canceled. This makes it possible to prevent the two hit games that are generated from being duplicated as each special symbol variation game being a big hit or a small hit.

  Also, the main control CPU 30a controls the execution of the first symbol variation game and the second symbol variation game after the end of the big hit game or the small hit game (first special symbol start process or second special symbol start process) Resume

  The main control CPU 30a controls the game state by managing the main high probability flag. Specifically, when causing a probability change state, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the probability change state is occurring in a main high probability flag. In addition, when the definite change state is not caused, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the definite change state is not occurring in the main high certainty flag.

Next, normal symbol input processing will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has entered the gate 19. In the gate entering determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the gate sensor GS detects a game ball is input. When the gaming ball has not entered the gate 19, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input processing.

  On the other hand, when the game ball enters the gate 19, the main control CPU 30a determines the values of various random numbers (normally determined random number for determination, normal pattern distribution random number, and normal pattern change pattern random number) related to the normal symbol variation game. The main control RAM 30c stores random number information that can specify the values of the various random numbers acquired. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

  In the following description, random number information that can specify values of various random numbers related to the normal symbol variation game is referred to as normal random number information. The normal random number information may be configured by the value of the random number, or may be configured by information converted from the value of the random number to other identifiable information.

Next, normal symbol start processing will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the start condition (execution condition) of the normal symbol variation game is satisfied. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is satisfied when the normal symbol variation game is not being executed and the normal hit game is not in progress either. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is not satisfied when the normal symbol variation game is being executed or the normal hit is being played. Then, when the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start processing.

  On the other hand, when the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a acquires the normal random number information stored in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the normal hit determination random number specified from the acquired normal random number information with the normal hit determination value, and performs a normal hit lottery.

  When the normal hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a performs a normal hit process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the hit symbol normally based on the value of the normal symbol distribution random number specified from the acquired normal random number information. Further, in the normal hitting process, the main control CPU 30a determines the normal symbol variation pattern based on the value of the normal symbol variation pattern random number specified from the acquired normal random number information.

  On the other hand, when the normal hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a performs the normal removal process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines a normally-off symbol based on the value of the normal symbol distribution random number specified from the acquired normal random number information. Further, in the normal removal processing, the main control CPU 30a determines the normal symbol variation pattern based on the value of the normal symbol variation pattern random number specified from the acquired normal random number information.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a that has performed the normal hit processing and the normal removal processing performs various processing related to the normal symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31 at a predetermined timing. First, the main control CPU 30a instructs the normal symbol fluctuation pattern and outputs a normal symbol fluctuation start command indicating that the normal symbol fluctuation game has started to the sub control CPU 31a. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display device 29 so that the normal symbol is variably displayed. Also, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ordinary symbol designation command instructing an ordinary symbol to the sub control CPU 31a. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process.

  In addition, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a stops the normal symbol determined and displays it when the variation time defined in the normal symbol variation pattern elapses. The display content of the display device 29 is controlled.

  When the main control CPU 30a wins the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs the normal hit game processing after the end of the normal symbol variation game to be the win target, and provides the normal hit game. In the normal hit game processing, the main control CPU 30a controls the open state and the closed state of the open / close blade 16, and causes the normal hit game.

  The main control CPU 30a in the normal hit game processing causes the first normal hit game to occur after the normal hit symbol classified into the first normal hit is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 29. The open and close states of the open / close blade 16 are controlled. On the other hand, after the normal hit symbol classified into the second normal hit is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 29, the open / close state of the open / close blade 16 is caused to cause the second normal hit game. Control. As described above, the main control CPU 30a controls the open / close blade 16 in accordance with the normal symbol.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that performs the normal hit lottery with the entry of the game ball to the gate 19 as the normal entry means functions as the normal hit lottery means. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that determines the normal symbol functions as the normal symbol determination means. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that determines the variation time of the normal symbol variation game by determining the normal symbol variation pattern functions as a normal symbol variation time determination unit. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that controls the open / close blade 16 as the open / close member in accordance with the normal symbol functions as the open / close member control means.

Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 based on the control program will be described.
When the sub control CPU 31a inputs the first variation pattern designating command and the first special symbol designating command, the symbol combination of the decorative symbols to be displayed on the first display in the first decorative symbol variation game in accordance with the instruction content of the command. Decide. In addition, when the sub control CPU 31a inputs the first change pattern specification command, it starts change display of the decoration pattern (pattern row) of each row in the first decoration pattern change game and starts the first decoration pattern change game. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to Then, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the first end command, it causes the combination display of the decorative symbols to be displayed as a fixed stop display in the first decorative symbol change game as a fixed stop display so as to end the first decorative symbol change game. , And controls the display content of the effect display device 14.

  Similarly, when the secondary control CPU 31a inputs the second variation pattern designation command and the second special symbol designation command, the decoration symbol is displayed to be fixedly stopped in the second decoration symbol variation game according to the instruction content of the command. Determine the symbol combination of. In addition, when the sub control CPU 31a inputs the second change pattern specification command, the sub control CPU 31a starts the change display of the decoration pattern (pattern row) of each row in the second decoration pattern change game and starts the second decoration pattern change game. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to Then, when the second control command is input, the sub control CPU 31a causes the combination display of the decorative symbols to be displayed as a fixed stop display in the second decorative symbol change game as a fixed stop display so as to end the second decorative symbol change game. , And controls the display content of the effect display device 14.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 31a receives the first cancel command, the sub-control CPU 31a performs control to end the first decorative symbol variation game being executed. When the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the first cancellation command, it causes the symbol pattern of the non-big hit to be decidedly stopped and displayed regardless of the lottery result of the first hit lottery, and the first decorative symbol variation game is ended, The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. The control to end the first decorative symbol variation game triggered by the input of the first cancellation command corresponds to the control to forcibly end the first decorative symbol variation game.

  Similarly, when the second stop command is input, the sub control CPU 31a performs control to end the second decorative symbol variation game being executed. When the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the second stop command, it causes the symbol combination of the non-big hit to be decidedly stopped and displayed regardless of the lottery result of the second hit lottery, and the second decorative symbol variation game is ended, The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. The control to end the second decorative symbol variation game triggered by the input of the second cancellation command corresponds to the control to forcibly end the second decorative symbol variation game.

  In the case where the small hit lottery is won, the “small hit symbol combination” is displayed as a fixed stop, while in the case of an off, the “fixed symbol combination” is displayed as a fixed stop, When forcedly terminating each decorative symbol variation game, it is preferable to display the symbol combination of the off for a definite stop. Naturally, the symbol combination of the small hit may be determined and stopped by control to forcibly end each decorative symbol variation game, or, for example, the symbol combination which can be determined and displayed only when forcedly terminated is determined. It may be configured to be stopped and displayed.

  Further, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 14, the light emission of the decoration lamp LA, the sound output of the speaker SP, and the like so as to execute a hit effect during occurrence of the big hit game. Further, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14, the light emission of the decoration lamp LA, the sound output of the speaker SP, and the like so as to execute a hit effect during occurrence of the small hit game. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the hit-in effect performed during the occurrence of the big hit game and the hit-in effect performed during the occurrence of the small hit game are different.

  Further, the sub control CPU 31a controls the gaming state to be identifiable by managing the sub high probability flag. Specifically, when a definite change state occurs, the sub control CPU 31a sets information capable of specifying that the positive change state is occurring in the secondary high certainty flag. Further, when the definite variation state is not generated, the sub control CPU 31a sets information capable of specifying that the definite variation state is not occurring in the subsidiary high certainty flag.

Next, the fluctuation pattern table in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the main control ROM 30b is used as a variation pattern table including a first variation pattern table HT1, a second variation pattern table HT2, a third variation pattern table HT3 and a fourth variation pattern table HT3. Fluctuation pattern table HT4 is stored.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is executed, the first variation pattern table HT1 or the third variation pattern table HT3 is referred to. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the second special symbol variation game is executed, the second variation pattern table HT2 or the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to.

  In the variation pattern tables HT1 to HT4, at least a part of variation patterns among variation patterns (variation patterns determined as determinable variation patterns) constituting each variation pattern table are different. Note that determining the variation pattern with reference to the variation pattern table corresponds to determining the variation time of the special symbol variation game with reference to the variation pattern table. Further, that the variation pattern is determined with reference to the variation pattern table means that the variation pattern is determined from among the variation patterns constituting the variation pattern table, that is, the variation pattern is determined from the variation pattern table to be referred to It is intended to be the same as being done.

  The average of the variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the first variation pattern table HT1 (indicated as "average variation time" in the drawing) is referred to the second variation pattern table HT2 It becomes shorter than the average of the fluctuation time of the 2nd special symbol fluctuation game decided. In addition, the average of the variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the third variation pattern table HT3 is the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the fourth variation pattern table HT4. It will be longer than the average of

  Incidentally, in this embodiment, the average of the variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the first variation pattern table HT1 is the first special symbol determined with reference to the third variation pattern table HT3. Shorter than the average of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game. Also, in this embodiment, the average of the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the second variation pattern table HT2 is the second special symbol determined with reference to the fourth variation pattern table HT4. Longer than the average of the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game.

  In addition, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game determined with reference to the second fluctuation pattern table HT2 is the longest among the fluctuation patterns constituting the first fluctuation pattern table HT1 and the fourth fluctuation pattern table HT4. The fluctuation time is longer than the fluctuation time of the special symbol fluctuation game when the predetermined fluctuation pattern is determined. In addition, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the third variation pattern table HT3 is the longest of the variation patterns constituting the first variation pattern table HT1 and the fourth variation pattern table HT4. The fluctuation time is longer than the fluctuation time of the special symbol fluctuation game when the predetermined fluctuation pattern is determined.

  In addition, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game determined with reference to the second fluctuation pattern table HT2 exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes or 8 minutes). Similarly, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game determined with reference to the third variation pattern table HT3 exceeds a predetermined time. On the other hand, the variation time of the special symbol variation game determined with reference to the first variation pattern table HT1 or the fourth variation pattern table HT4 does not exceed a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes or 8 minutes). Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game determined with reference to the second variation pattern table HT2, and the third determined with reference to the third variation pattern table HT3 1 The variation time of the special symbol variation game is about 10 minutes (600 seconds) regardless of the lottery result of the winning lottery (big hit lottery or small hit lottery).

  As also shown in FIG. 3, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, if the game ball is made to enter the second starting opening 17, the small hit lottery is won with a high probability even if the big hit lottery is not won. Do. For this reason, if the game ball is fired so as to flow down the flow-down path which can enter the second start opening 17 and the game ball enters the second start opening 17, the second large winning opening 22 with high probability The entry of the game ball is permitted, and the opportunity to acquire the winning ball comes (occurs).

  However, when performing the second special symbol variation game, when the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to when determining the variation time (variation pattern) of the second special symbol variation game, the second special per time The fluctuation time of the symbol fluctuation game becomes significantly longer. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the variation time of one second special symbol variation game is about 10 minutes, the game ball is made to enter the second starting opening 17 and the second special symbol variation About 10 minutes after the game starts, the second big winning opening 22 is opened.

  Then, in a situation where the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the game ball is made to enter the second starting opening 17 and the second special symbol variation game is started small. It is assumed that the game ball is fired aiming at entering the second starting opening 17 until the winning prize is won and the second large winning opening 22 is opened. In this case, the number of launched game balls per unit predetermined time exceeds the number of game balls obtainable by entering the game balls into the second large winning opening 22 per unit predetermined time.

  In addition, when firing the gaming ball so as to flow down the flow-down path which can enter the second starting opening 17, the gaming ball does not enter the first starting opening 15, so a special is executed per unit predetermined time The number of symbol variation games is also significantly reduced. For this reason, in the situation where the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the flow-down path which can enter the first starting opening 15 instead of the second starting opening 17 flows down. It is preferable to play the game ball by firing the game ball.

  On the other hand, when the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game is shorter than when the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to. Become. In other words, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game when it becomes a small hit in the small hit lottery performed with the entry of the game ball to the second starting opening 17 when in the second state, It becomes shorter than the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game when it becomes a small hit in the small hitting lottery performed with the game ball entering the second starting opening 17 when it is the first state .

  As a result, when the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, a small winning lottery is won per unit time than when the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to. The frequency is likely to increase. And, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of winning small win lottery per unit time is increased, the second large per unit predetermined time than the number of game balls fired per unit predetermined time The number of game balls that can be acquired by entering the game balls into the winning opening 22 is configured to be larger.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to in performing the second special symbol variation game, the game ball is aimed to enter the second starting opening 17 If it is fired, it is possible to increase the number of game balls (balls held) possessed by the occurrence of the small hit game. For this reason, in a situation where the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the flow-down path which can enter the second starting opening 17 instead of the first starting opening 15 flows down. It is preferable to play the game ball by firing the game ball.

  In order to increase the number of game balls that can be acquired by entering the game ball into the second large winning opening 22 more than the number of game balls that can be fired per unit predetermined time, an obstacle member in the game board 11 This arrangement can be realized by the number of game balls that can be acquired as a winning ball when the game ball enters the second large winning opening 22. In addition, the game ball enters the second large winning opening 22 more than the number of game balls that can be fired per unit predetermined time depending on the time and the number of times the second large winning opening 22 is opened in small hitting games The number of game balls that can be obtained can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, a state in which no definite change state is generated is taken as the first state, and in the first state, the first variation pattern table HT1 is referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game, and the second special symbol The second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to when performing the variation game. In the first state, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game is likely to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the state in which the probability variation state is generated is the second state, and in the second state, the third variation pattern table HT3 is referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game, and the second The fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to when performing the special symbol variation game. In the second state, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game is likely to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game.

  When the first variation pattern table HT1 is referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is shorter than when the third variation pattern table HT3 is referred to. That is, in the situation where the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to, the first variation pattern table HT1 is referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game, so the third variation pattern table HT3 is referred to This is a situation where the number of times the first special symbol variation game is executed per unit time is greater than that at the time. Because of this, in the situation (first state) where the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the first start aperture 15 is entered instead of the second start aperture 17. It can be said that it is preferable to play a game ball by firing the game ball so as to flow down the ball capable flow-down path.

  On the other hand, when the third variation pattern table HT3 is referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is longer than when the first variation pattern table HT1 is referred to. Become. That is, for the situation where the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to, the third variation pattern table HT3 is referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game, so the first variation pattern table HT1 is referred to This is a situation where the number of times the first special symbol variation game is executed per unit time is smaller than when it is. Because of this, in the situation where the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to in performing the second special symbol variation game (the second state), it enters not the first starting opening 15 but the second starting opening 17 It can be said that it is preferable to play a game ball by firing the game ball so as to flow down the ball capable flow-down path.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has the game property (game property) of acquiring the game ball by the small hit game in the second state while acquiring the game ball by the big hit game. And, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can increase the number of gaming balls possessed by the small hit game in the first state where the gaming balls possessed by the small hit game can not be increased. It has a game feature that is expected to be in two states. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a game property that the second state is expected to continue for a longer period in the second state in which the game balls possessed by the small hit game can be increased. Have.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a big hit lottery is won and a big hit game is generated, a variation pattern table to be referred to after the end of the big hit game may change. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation pattern table to be referred to does not change in response to the occurrence of the small hit game.

  Incidentally, when the variation pattern table to be referred to changes, the table information stored in the main control RAM 30c also changes. In the following description, for example, when “the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to”, “table information capable of specifying the second variation pattern table HT2 is stored in the main control RAM 30c”. It means that.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the state in which the definite change state is not generated is referred to as "first state", and the state in which the positive change state is generated is referred to as "second state". Therefore, since the second state is reached after the end of the big hit game based on the probability variation big hit, the third variation pattern table HT3 and the fourth variation pattern table HT4 are referred to. On the other hand, after the end of the big hit game based on the first non-deterministic variation big hit and after the end of the big hit gaming based on the second non-deterministic variation big hit, it becomes the first state, the first variation pattern table HT1 and the second variation pattern table HT1 The variation pattern table HT2 is referred to.

  Next, a decorative symbol variation game (a first decorative symbol variation game or a second decorative symbol variation game) as a derived effect performed by the effect display device 14 will be described. In the following description, "large display area" corresponds to "wide display area", and "small display area" corresponds to "small display area".

  As shown in FIG. 5A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when in the first state, the display area of the effect display device 14 is the first display area HR1, and the second right display area HR2r. It is divided into and.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the second state, the display area of the effect display device 14 is the first display area HR1, and the second left. It is divided into a display area HR2l. In the following description, the second right display area HR2r and the second left display area HR2l are collectively referred to as a second display area HR2.

  In the present embodiment, the first display area HR1 is larger (wider) than the second display area HR2. That is, the second display area HR2 is smaller (narrower) than the first display area HR1. In the present embodiment, the first display area HR1 corresponds to an effect area wider than the second display area HR2.

  In addition, the second right display area HR2r is a display area that is partitioned at the upper right side in a front view in the display area of the effect display device 14. On the other hand, the second left display area HR <b> 2 l is a display area that is partitioned at the upper left side in a front view in the display area of the effect display device 14. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the second right display area HR2 r and the second left display area HR2 l have the same size, but the second right display area HR2 r and the second left display area The display area of one of the HRs 21 may be larger (or smaller) than the display area of the other.

  In FIG. 5 (a), (b), [135] is shown as a symbol combination of decorative symbols displayed in the first decorative symbol variation game as a decision stop displayed in the first decorative symbol variation game, and an ornament displayed in the second ornament symbol variation game as the decision stop display [246] is shown as a symbol combination of symbols.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the first state, the first decorative symbol variation game is played in the first display area HR1, and in the second right display area HR2r. A second decorative symbol variation game is played. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the second state, the second decorative symbol variation game is played in the first display area HR1, and the second left display area HR2l The first decorative symbol variation game is played.

  That is, in the first state in which the first special symbol variation game is mainly executed, the first decorative symbol variation game is played in the first display region HR1 larger than the second right display region HR2r. On the other hand, in the second state in which the second special symbol variation game is mainly executed, the second decorative symbol variation game is played in the first display area HR1 which is larger than the second left display area HR21.

  As described above, in the first state where it is preferable to play a game by firing the gaming ball so as to flow down the flow-down path capable of entering the first starting opening 15, the front view of the effect display device 14 A game ball is fired so as to flow down on the left flow path. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down is close to the left side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, by providing the second right display area HR2r in which the second decorative symbol variation game is played on the right side of the effect display device 14 in the front view, the first state in which the first decorative symbol variation game is played The second decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the first state can be made easy to enjoy.

  Similarly, in the second state where it is preferable to play the game ball by firing the game flow so as to flow down the flow-down path which can enter the second starting opening 17, the front view right side of the effect display device 14 A game ball is fired so as to flow down on the flow down path. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down approaches the right side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, the second left display area HR2l in which the first decorative symbol variation game is played is provided on the left side of the effect display device 14 in a front view, a second state in which the second decorative symbol variation game is played mainly The first decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the second state can be made easy to enjoy.

  When in the first state, in the first decorative symbol variation game, a decorative symbol larger than the decorative symbol used in the second decorative symbol variation game is used. Similarly, in the second state, in the second decorative symbol variation game, a decorative symbol larger than the decorative symbol used in the first decorative symbol variation game is used.

  From such a thing, in the first state, the attention to the first decorative symbol fluctuation game is increased among the first decorative symbol fluctuation game and the second decorative symbol fluctuation game, and the interest in the game in the first state is improved. Can be Similarly, in the second state, the attention to the second decorative symbol fluctuation game of the first decorative symbol fluctuation game and the second decorative symbol fluctuation game may be enhanced to improve the interest in the game in the second state. it can.

Here, the game nature (game nature) which pachinko game machine 10 has is explained.
In the present embodiment, in the first state in which the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, the gaming ball is allowed to flow down the flowable passage which can enter the second starting opening 17. Even if it is launched, the number of gaming balls (balls held) can not be increased. On the other hand, in the second state in which the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game, a small hit game is generated per unit predetermined time, and the second large winning opening 22 is opened. Since the number of times is increased, the number of gaming balls possessed can be increased by firing the gaming balls so as to flow down the flow-down path capable of entering the second starting opening 17.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the game in the first state is continued, the number of gaming balls (held balls) possessed decreases while the game in the second state is continued In the case, the number of game balls (held balls) in possession increases. As described above, it is possible to increase the number of gaming balls possessed by the state (first state) in which the number of gaming balls possessed can not be increased by the variation pattern table to be referred to. State (second state) is created.

  And when winning a big hit lottery in the first state, after the end of the big hit game triggered by the winning, it may change from the first state to the second state. For this reason, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has the game property which is expected to be won in the big hit lottery and to change to the second state when in the first state.

  In addition, there is a case where it changes from the 2nd state to the 1st state, when winning in the big hit lottery after becoming the 2nd state. For this reason, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a game feature that expects the second state to continue longer without winning the jackpot lottery. As described above, since the pachinko gaming machine 10 is likely to end the second state if the jackpot lottery is won in the second state, the second state continues longer without winning the jackpot lottery. I have a game that I expect to do.

  In this embodiment, rather than the game ball entering the first start opening 15 and the first special symbol variation game being executed, the game ball enters the second start opening 17 and the second special symbol change game If there is a small hit game, the second large winning opening 22 is opened and the chance of acquiring the game ball increases. That is, rather than the game ball enters the first start opening 15 and the first special symbol variation game is executed, the game ball enters the second start opening 17 and the second special symbol change game is executed Are more advantageously configured.

  Among general pachinko gaming machines, when shortening the fluctuation time in a specific gaming state, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game is shortened, and the first fluctuation time is the first special symbol in a specific gaming state Some are shorter than the fluctuation time of the fluctuation game. However, such pachinko gaming machines shorten the fluctuation time of each special symbol fluctuation game, efficiently execute the special symbol fluctuation game, and execute the number of times the special symbol fluctuation game is executed per unit time in a specific gaming state. The purpose is to increase it. In this pachinko machine capable of simultaneously executing the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game, the variation time of one special symbol variation game is shorter than the variation time of the other special symbol variation game. The situation in which the first special symbol variation game is easy to execute and the idea of creating a condition in which the second special symbol variation game is easy to execute are different.

  Next, during the execution of the first special symbol variation game, winning a winning lottery (big hit lottery and small hit lottery) performed with the entrance to the second starting opening 17 as a winning game hit (big hit game and small hit) It will be described that, when a game) is made, giving rise to the hit game is prioritized over the first special symbol variation game being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the second special symbol variation game winning the winning lottery is finished at timing t11 while the first special symbol variation game is being executed. In this case, the first special symbol variation game which is originally performed at the variation time T1 based on the variation pattern is forcibly terminated at the variation time T2 corresponding to the time when the timing t11 arrives, and is being executed. The first special symbol variation game which has been canceled is canceled.

  Then, when the hit game generated at timing t11 ends at timing t12, the first special symbol variation game is executed if the first number of pending storages is “1 or more”. Similarly, when the hit game is ended at timing t12, the second special symbol variation game is executed if the second number of pending storages is “1 or more”.

  It should be noted that the first special symbol variation game which is different from the first special symbol variation game forcibly ended at timing t11 and the first special symbol variation game whose execution is started after the end of the hit game. Therefore, even if the first special symbol variation game forcibly ended at timing t11 is executed based on the winning of the big hit lottery, the first special symbol variation is started after the end of the hit game If the game does not win a big hit lottery, a big hit game will not occur after the end of the first special symbol variation game.

  Next, "normal winning lottery winning probability" in the first state and the second state, "determination rate of the normal symbol", "determination rate of the normal symbol variation pattern", "opening and closing members in the same ordinary hit symbol (opening and closing blade 16) The number of times the door is in the open state and "the time during which the opening / closing member (the opening and closing blade 16) is in the open state in the same normal contact pattern" will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the winning probability of the normal hit lottery in the first state and the winning probability of the normal hit lottery in the second state are the same (indicated as “common” in the drawing). Therefore, the probability that a normal hit lottery is won and a normal hit game is generated in the first state, and the probability that a normal hit lottery is generated and a normal hit game is generated in the second state, It will be the same. Therefore, in the first state and the second state, there is no change in the winning probability of the normal hit lottery, and the open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 is not changed.

  In addition, the determination rate of the normal symbol in the first state and the determination rate of the normal symbol in the second state are the same (shown as "common" in the drawings). Here, "the determination rate of the ordinary symbol" means the probability of determining the ordinary hit symbol classified as the first ordinary symbol classified as the first ordinary hit or the second ordinary symbol in the present embodiment. For this reason, when it is in the first state, the probability of winning the normal winning lottery and the occurrence of the first normal hitting game, and when it is in the second condition, the winning of the normal hitting lottery, and the first ordinary hit game And the probability of being generated is the same. Similarly, in the first state, the probability of winning a normal hit lottery and the occurrence of a second normal hit game, and in the second state, winning a normal hit lottery and a second normal hit game And the probability of being generated is the same. Therefore, in the first state and the second state, there is no change in the probability of determining various normal symbols when the normal hit is a normal hit, and the open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 is not changed.

  Further, the determination rate of the normal symbol variation pattern in the first state and the determination rate of the normal symbol variation pattern in the second state are the same (shown as "common" in the drawings). That is, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation game in the first state is the same as the fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation game in the second state. Therefore, in the first state and the second state, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game does not change, and the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing blade 16 does not change.

  In the first state, the number of times the open / close blade 16 is open in the same normal contact symbol, and the number of times the open / close blade 16 is open in the same normal contact symbol in the second state, Are the same (shown as "common" in the drawings). That is, when the first hit game is generated after the hit symbol classified into the first hit is stopped and displayed in the first state, and when it is in the second state In the case where the first normal hit game is generated after the normal hit symbol classified into one normal hit is stopped and displayed, the number of times the open / close blade 16 is opened is the same number. Similarly, when the second hit game is generated after the hit symbol classified into the second hit is displayed in the first state and the second state is in the first state, and in the second state In the case where the second normal hit game is generated after the normal hit symbol classified into the second normal hit is stopped and displayed, the number of times the open / close blade 16 is opened is the same number. Therefore, in the first state and the second state, there is no change in the number of times the open / close blade 16 is opened in the same normal symbol, and the open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 is not changed.

  Moreover, the time when the opening and closing blade 16 is open in the same normal contact symbol in the first state and the time when the opening and closing blade 16 is open in the same normal contact symbol in the second state, Are the same (shown as "common" in the drawings). That is, when the first hit game is generated after the hit symbol classified into the first hit is stopped and displayed in the first state, and when it is in the second state In the case where the first normal hit game is generated after the normal hit symbol classified into one normal hit is stopped and displayed, the time when the open / close blade 16 is in the open state is the same time. Similarly, when the second hit game is generated after the hit symbol classified into the second hit is displayed in the first state and the second state is in the first state, and in the second state When the second ordinary hit game is generated after the ordinary hit symbol classified into the second ordinary hit is stopped and displayed, the time when the open / close blade 16 is in the open state is the same time. Therefore, in the first state and the second state, there is no change in the time when the open / close blade 16 is opened in the same normal symbol, and the open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 is not changed.

  As described above, in the first state and the second state, the "probability of hitting normally", "probability of determining various ordinary symbols", "probability of determining the variation time of the ordinary symbol variation game" and "identical The open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 does not change because the time or the number of times the open / close blade 16 is in the open state does not change in the normal pattern. In addition, as described above, in the first state and the second state, "probability of hitting normally", "probability of determining various ordinary symbols", "probability of determining the variation time of the ordinary symbol variation game" and " The open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 does not change unless at least one of “the time or the number of times the open / close blade 16 is in the open state” in the same normal symbol.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, "the opening and closing aspect of the opening and closing member does not change in the first state and the second state" means the opening and closing aspect of the opening and closing member in the first state and the opening and closing member in the second state. It corresponds to the opening and closing mode of being the same. Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the “opening and closing mode of the opening and closing member” is not limited to the number and time of the opening and closing of the opening and closing blade 16. Refers to the aspect of

As described above, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The first special symbol variation game (first symbol variation game) and the second special symbol variation game (second symbol variation game) are configured to be simultaneously executable. Furthermore, the second special symbol when it becomes a small hit in the small hitting lottery performed with the game ball entering the second starting opening 17 as the second entering means in the second state as a trigger The second special symbol variation game when the variation time of the variation game is the first state and the small hitting lottery in the small hitting lottery performed with the game ball entering the second starting opening 17 as a trigger Less than the fluctuation time of For this reason, in the second state, the number of times the small hit per unit time becomes a small hit increases more than in the first state, and the second big winning as a special entering means per unit time The chances of entering the gaming ball into the mouth 22 and acquiring the gaming ball increase. That is, in the second state, the chance to increase the holding ball is increased by becoming a small hit, and it is easy to increase the holding ball, while in the first state, the holding ball is caused by the small hit There is little chance to increase the number of balls, making it difficult to increase the ball.

  In this way, it is difficult to increase holding balls in the first state by using the small hitting lottery, while it is easy to increase the holding balls by becoming the small hitting in the small hitting lottery in the second state. The game characteristic can be realized, the game in the game characteristic can be enjoyed, and the interest can be improved.

  (2) In the first state and the second state, the open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 as the open / close member does not change. For this reason, it can be assumed that the gaming ball is fired so as to flow down the flow-down path which can enter the second starting opening 17 as the second ball entry means having the open / close blades 16. However, in the first state, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game (second symbol variation game) in the case of a small hit is longer than that in the second state, so it becomes a small hit. The game ball can be made to enter the second large winning opening 22 (special ball entry means) to acquire the game ball and it is difficult to increase the holding ball. As described above, even if the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing blade 16 per unit time does not change in the first state and the second state, the game ball is made to enter the second large winning opening 22 in the first state. It is possible to realize game features that make it difficult to increase holding balls.

  On the other hand, in the second state, the second special in the case of the small hit in the small hitting lottery performed with the game ball entering the second starting opening 17 as a trigger than in the first state. Since the variation time of the symbol variation game is short, the number of times of small hits per small time per unit time increases. Then, when in the second state, the number of times the small hit is small in the small hit lottery per unit time is larger than in the first state, so that the game ball is moved to the second large winning opening 22 per unit time. The chance of entering the ball and acquiring the game ball increases. That is, in the second state, it is possible to realize game characteristics that easily hold the ball by being a small hit.

  As described above, even if the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing blade 16 does not change in the first state and the second state, the game characteristics in which it is difficult to increase holding balls by becoming a small hit in the small hit lottery in the first state. In the second state, it becomes a small hit by a small hit lottery, thereby achieving a game characteristic that is easy to increase the balls, and it is possible to improve the interest.

  (3) The first special symbol variation game (first symbol variation game) and the second special symbol variation game (second symbol variation game) are configured to be simultaneously executable. Therefore, even if the first special symbol variation game is being executed, the second special symbol variation game is executed, so the second special condition variation game is not executed until the end of the first special symbol variation game. The special symbol variation game can be a small hit and can continue the chance to increase the ball and improve the interest.

  Also, in the first state, since the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game is likely to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game, by the end of the second special symbol fluctuation game, the fluctuation time is likely to be longer. The first special symbol variation game in which the variation time tends to be short can be continuously executed. Similarly, in the second state, since the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game is likely to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game, until the end of the first special symbol fluctuation game where fluctuation time tends to be long In addition, the second special symbol variation game in which the variation time tends to be short can be continuously executed. That is, before the end of the first special symbol variation game, the second special symbol variation game is continuously executed to easily increase the number of balls, and the interest can be improved.

  (4) Normal winning lottery winning probability, probability to determine various normal symbols, probability to determine the variation time of the normal symbol variation game, the time when the opening and closing blade 16 is opened in the same normal symbol and the same normal symbol In at least one of the number of times the open / close blade 16 is in the open state does not change, the open / close mode of the open / close blade 16 in the first state and the second state does not change.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being misunderstood as if the game characteristic of easily holding the ball is realized by the opening and closing mode of the opening and closing blade 16 as the opening and closing member, and the game possessed by the gaming machine This makes it easy for the player to understand the nature, and can effectively improve the interest.

  In addition, it is possible to prevent the player from being misunderstood as if the game characteristics of the first state and the game characteristics of the second state are realized by the opening and closing aspect of the opening and closing blade 16, and the game possessed by the gaming machine This makes it easy for the player to understand the nature, and can effectively improve the interest.

  (5) In the first state, the first display area is larger (wider) than the second right display area HR2r (the area in which the second derivation effect is performed in the first state) in which the second decorative symbol variation game is played A first decorative symbol variation game (first derivation effect) is performed in the HR1. In the second state, the first display area HR1 is larger (wider) than the second left display area HR2l (the area in which the first derivation effect is performed in the second state) in which the first decorative symbol variation game is played The second decorative symbol variation game (the second derivation effect) is played. As described above, in the first state and the second state, the game features possessed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 are executed by executing the decorative symbol variation game (derived effect) mainly executed according to each state in a wide area. Can effectively enjoy the game of

  (6) In the first state, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game (first symbol fluctuation game) tends to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game (second symbol fluctuation game). Therefore, the number of first special symbol variation games executed per unit time easily exceeds the number of second special symbol variation games executed per unit time. Therefore, in the first state, it is possible to realize game characteristics (playability) in which the first special symbol fluctuation game is easier to be executed than in the second special symbol fluctuation game. On the other hand, in the second state, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game tends to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game. Therefore, the number of second special symbol variation games executed per unit time tends to exceed the number of first special symbol variation games executed per unit time. Therefore, in the second state, it is possible to realize game characteristics (playability) in which the second special symbol fluctuation game is easier to be executed than in the first special symbol fluctuation game.

  Moreover, it is more advantageously configured that the second special symbol variation game is executed than the first special symbol variation game is executed. Therefore, in the first state and the second state, the second state in which the second special symbol variation game is easy to be executed is advantageous. As described above, by achieving different game characteristics (game characteristics) according to the respective states, it is possible to further improve the interest by changing the degree of advantage for each state.

  (7) In the first state, the rate at which the first special symbol variation game (first symbol variation game) is executed is high, and in the second state, the second special symbol variation game (second symbol variation game) is executed In the gaming machine having a high proportion, the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing blade 16 as the opening / closing member does not change in the first state and the second state. Thereby, even in a situation where the opening and closing mode of the opening and closing blade 16 does not change, it is possible to improve the amusement in the game characteristics (game characteristics) of the first state and the second state.

  (8) The probability of becoming a big hit in each of the first state and the second state is determined by the game ball in any of the first start opening 15 as the first ball entry means and the second start hole 17 as the second ball entry means Is the same even if the ball enters the ball. On the other hand, in any of the first state and the second state, the probability that the game ball enters the second starting hole 17 as a chance to hit a small ball is triggered by the game ball entering the first starting hole 15 Higher than the probability of being a small hit. Therefore, in the second state, the number of times of small hits per unit time increases more than in the first state, and the game is performed to the second large winning opening 22 (special ball entering means) per unit time. The chance of entering a ball and acquiring a game ball increases.

  As described above, when in the second state, chances of increasing the ball increase by becoming a small hit, realizing game characteristics (gaming characteristics) that are easy to increase the ball, and aim to improve the interest it can. On the other hand, when in the first state, by becoming a small hit, it is possible to realize game characteristics that have few opportunities to increase the holding balls and are difficult to increase the balls, and to improve the interest.

  (9) In the first state, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game (the first symbol variation game) is likely to be shorter than that of the second special symbol variation game (the second symbol variation game). Among the symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game, the ratio of the number of times the first special symbol variation game is executed per unit time is higher. Therefore, in the first state, it is possible to realize game characteristics (playability) in which the first special symbol fluctuation game is easier to be executed than in the second special symbol fluctuation game. On the other hand, in the second state, since the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation game is likely to be shorter than the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation game, the second special symbol fluctuation game and the second special symbol fluctuation game are the second. The percentage of the number of times the special symbol variation game is executed per unit time is higher. Therefore, in the second state, it is possible to realize game characteristics (playability) in which the second special symbol fluctuation game is easier to be executed than in the first special symbol fluctuation game.

  In addition, since the second special symbol variation game is more advantageously executed than the first special symbol variation game is executed, the second state is advantageous. As described above, it is possible to further improve the interest by making the degree of advantage different for each state while realizing different game characteristics according to each state.

  In addition, during the execution of the first special symbol variation game, if a second special symbol variation game is hit first and a hit game is generated, it is prioritized over the first special symbol variation game in which the hit game is being executed. Ru. For this reason, in the second state, the first special symbol variation game becomes a hit and the second special symbol variation game becomes a hit before the hit game is triggered, and the hit game is more likely to occur, the first The special symbol variation game becomes a hit and the game becomes difficult to occur. Thereby, it is possible to suppress that the game property of the second state is lost in a situation (second state) in which the second special symbol variation game becomes a hit and a hit game is easily generated.

  (10) During execution of the first special symbol variation game (first symbol variation game), if the second special symbol variation game (second symbol variation game) comes first and hit game is generated, The first special symbol variation game in progress is canceled and canceled (forced termination). For this reason, in the second state, the first special symbol variation game becomes a hit and the second special symbol variation game becomes a hit before the hit game is triggered, and the hit game is more likely to occur, the first The special symbol variation game becomes a hit and the game becomes difficult to occur. Thereby, in a situation (second state) where the second special symbol variation game is hit and hit is likely to occur, there is an intervening situation where the first special symbol change game is hit and hit is triggered. Thus, it is possible to suppress that the game property of the second state is lost.

  (11) During execution of the second special symbol variation game (second symbol variation game), if the first special symbol variation game (first symbol variation game) comes first and hit game is generated, The second special symbol variation game in progress is canceled and canceled (forced termination). For this reason, in the first state, the second special symbol variation game becomes a hit and the first special symbol variation game becomes a hit before the hit game is triggered, and the hit game is more likely to occur, the second The special symbol variation game becomes a hit and the game becomes difficult to occur. Thereby, in a situation (first state) in which the first special symbol variation game becomes a hit and a hit is easy to occur, there is an intervening situation that the second special symbol change game hits and a hit occurs. Thus, it is possible to suppress that the game nature of the first state is lost.

  (12) When the jackpot lottery is won, the variation pattern table for determining the variation pattern may change from the second variation pattern table HT2 to the fourth variation pattern table HT4. Further, when the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is in the second state to be referred to, the variation time of the symbol variation game is shorter than in the first state to which the second variation pattern table HT2 is referred to, and per unit time The number of times to win a small hit lottery increases.

  Then, when in the second state, the entry of the game ball to the second large winning opening 22 is permitted by the winning of the small hit lottery, the second number more than the number of game balls emitted per unit predetermined time The number of game balls that can be acquired by entering the large winning opening 22 increases. That is, in the second state, it is possible to increase the number of game balls (held balls) possessed by winning the small hit lottery. In this way, using the small hit lottery, a game characteristic (playability) is realized in which the ball can be increased by winning the small hit lottery in the second state among the first state and the second state. , It is possible to enjoy the game under such game nature and to improve the interest.

  (13) Even if the small hit lottery is won in the second state in which the variation pattern is determined from the fourth change pattern table HT4, the variation pattern table for determining the change pattern changes with the win of the small hit lottery do not do. For this reason, the situation where the number of gaming balls (held balls) possessed is increased by winning the small hit lottery in the second state is not ended by the small hit lottery.

  By the way, when the situation to increase holding balls in the second state is ended by the win of the small hit lottery, it can not be judged whether it should be expected to win the small hit lottery and it is difficult to enjoy the game in the above situation There is a risk of becoming For this reason, by configuring the situation in which holding balls are increased in the second state not to be ended by the win of the small hit lottery, the small hit lottery is simply won and the small hit game is generated, and the second The game ball enters the large winning opening 22 and it becomes easy to enjoy the game property (game property) in which the game ball can be acquired.

  (14) In the second state, the second state may change to the first state, triggered by the winning of the big hit lottery. For this reason, in the first state, the player enjoys the game under the playability which is expected to win the big hit lottery. On the other hand, in the second state, it is possible to enjoy the game under the game nature which makes it pay attention to how much the advantageous situation can be continued without winning the big hit lottery. As described above, it is possible to improve the interest by changing the sense of expectation for winning the big hit lottery in the first state and the second state.

  (15) The second large winning opening 22 as a special ball entry means is arranged upstream of the second starting hole 17 as a second ball entry means on the flow-down path of the gaming ball on the right side of the effect display device 14 in front view. Set up. If the second start opening 17 is disposed upstream of the second large winning opening 22 on the flow-down path of the gaming ball on the right side of the effect display device 14 in a front view, the second large winning opening 22 is opened. Also, the game ball may enter the second starting opening 17 on the upstream side, and the game ball may not easily enter the second large winning opening 22. However, by arranging the second large winning opening 22 on the upstream side of the second starting opening 17 on the flow path of the gaming ball on the right side of the effect display device 14 in front view, the gaming ball to the second large winning opening 22 Can be suppressed from becoming difficult to enter the ball.

  (16) In the first state, the gaming ball is fired so as to flow down the flow-down path capable of entering the first starting opening 15. Therefore, the first big hit lottery is mainly performed. Therefore, when winning a big hit lottery in the first state, a big hit game based on the probability variation big hit or the first non-positive variation big hit will be generated. And, when the big hit game based on the probability variation big hit is generated, the game ball is fired so that it will be the second state after the end of the big hit game, and flow down the flow-down path which can enter the second starting opening 17 Transition to the situation. On the other hand, when a big hit game based on the first non-deterministic big hit is generated, the state after the big hit game is in the first state, so it is possible to continue entering the first starting opening 15 even after the big hit game is over The game ball is fired so as to flow down the flow path.

  For this reason, in the big hit game based on the first non-deterministic big hit, the second large winning opening 22 that can enter when the gaming ball is fired so as to flow down the flow-down path capable of entering the second starting opening 17 Rather, when the game ball is fired so as to flow down a flow-down path capable of entering the second starting opening 17, the first big winning opening 21 which can not enter the ball is opened. Thereby, it is possible to suppress that the second special symbol variation game is executed in the first state after the end of the big hit game by increasing the number of second reserved memories during the big hit game. That is, since it is possible to suppress that the second special symbol variation game is executed in the first state in which the first special symbol variation game is mainly executed, the game performance in the first condition is secured in the first state. It becomes easy, and it becomes easy to improve interest by the game nature of the 1st state.

  (17) In the first state where it is preferable to play a game by firing the game ball so as to flow down the flow-down path capable of entering the first starting opening 15, the front view left side of the effect display device 14 A game ball is fired so as to flow down on the flow down path. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down is close to the left side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, by providing the second right display area HR2r in which the second decorative symbol variation game is played on the right side of the effect display device 14 in the front view, the first state in which the first decorative symbol variation game is played The second decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the first state can be made easy to enjoy.

  Similarly, in the second state where it is preferable to play the game ball by firing the game flow so as to flow down the flow-down path which can enter the second starting opening 17, the front view right side of the effect display device 14 A game ball is fired so as to flow down on the flow down path. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down approaches the right side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, the second left display area HR2l in which the first decorative symbol variation game is played is provided on the left side of the effect display device 14 in a front view, a second state in which the second decorative symbol variation game is played mainly The first decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the second state can be made easy to enjoy.

It is possible to effectively enjoy the game in the game nature that the pachinko gaming machine 10 has.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment of the gaming machine will be described according to FIG. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the detailed description and the drawings are omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the third embodiment, the left effect display device 40L and the right effect display device 40R, which are smaller than the effect display device 14, are disposed on the game board 11 separately from the effect display device 14. . That is, the effect display device 14 is larger than the left effect display device 40L and the right effect display device 40R. The display area of the effect display device 14 is larger than the display area of the left effect display device 40L. Similarly, the display area of the effect display device 14 is larger than the display area of the right effect display device 40R. The left effect display device 40L is disposed on the upper left of the effect display device 14. On the other hand, the right effect display device 40R is disposed at the upper right of the effect display device 14.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 14, the left effect display device 40L, and the right effect display device 40R correspond to derivation effect execution means. Then, in the present embodiment, the left effect display device 40L and the right effect display device 40R correspond to a first derived effect executing means, and the effect display device 14 larger than the left effect display device 40L and the right effect display device 40R It corresponds to the second derivation effect execution means.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the first state, the first decorative symbol variation game (first derivation effect) is performed in the display area of the effect display device 14, and the display area of the right effect display device 40R The second decorative symbol variation game (the second derivation effect) is played. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the second state, the second decorative symbol variation game is played in the display area of the effect display device 14, and the first in the display area of the left effect display device 40L. A decorative symbol variation game is played.

  As described above, in the first state in which the game ball is mainly entered into the first start opening 15 and the first special symbol variation game is executed, the first effect display device 14 larger than the right effect display device 40R performs the first operation. A decorative symbol variation game is played. On the other hand, in the second state in which the game ball is mainly entered into the second starting opening 17 and the second special symbol variation game is executed, the second decorative symbol is displayed on the effect display device 14 larger than the left effect display device 40L. A fluctuation game is played.

  Thereby, in the first state, the first decorative symbol variation game performed on the effect display device 14 larger than the right effect display device 40R among the first decorative symbol variation game and the second decorative symbol variation game is heightened attention Thus, it is possible to improve the interest in the game in the first state.

  As described above, in the first state where it is preferable to aim at entering the first start hole 15 and play a game, in the first state, the game is made to flow down on the flow path on the left side in front view of the effect display device 14 A ball is fired. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down is close to the left side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, by providing the right effect display device 40R on which the second decorative symbol variation game is played on the right side of the effect display device 14 in the front view, the first decorative symbol variation game is performed mainly in the first state. (2) The decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the first state can be made easy to enjoy.

  Similarly, in the second state where it is preferable to aim at entering the second start opening 17 and play a game, the game ball is allowed to flow down the flow path on the right side of the front view of the effect display device 14 Be fired. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down approaches the right side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, by providing the left effect display device 40L on which the first decorative symbol variation game is played on the left side of the effect display device 14 in front view, the second effect symbol game is mainly performed in the second state in which the second decorative symbol variation game is played The decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the second state can be made easy to enjoy.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when in the first state, in the first decorative symbol variation game, a decorative symbol larger than the decorative symbol used in the second decorative symbol variation game is used. Similarly, in the second state, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the second decorative symbol variation game, a decorative symbol larger than the decorative symbol used in the first decorative symbol variation game is used.

  Because of this, in the first state, the attention to the first decorative symbol variation game can be increased to improve the interest in the game in the first state. Similarly, in the second state, the attention to the second decorative symbol variation game can be enhanced to improve the interest in the game in the second state.

As described above, in addition to the effects (1) to (4) and (6) to (16) of the first embodiment, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(19) In the first state, the first derivation is performed by the large effect display device 14 of the right effect display device 40R (first derived effect execution means) and the effect display device 14 (second derived effect execution means). A first decorative symbol variation game corresponding to the effect is executed. On the other hand, in the second state, the second decorative symbol variation game corresponding to the second derivation effect is performed by the large effect display device 14 of the left effect display device 40L (the first derivation effect executing means) and the effect display device 14. To be executed.

  As described above, in the first state and the second state, the decorative symbol variation game (derivative effect) mainly executed according to each state is executed by the effect display device 14 having a large size in the present embodiment. It is possible to effectively enjoy the game in the game nature that the pachinko gaming machine 10 has.

  (20) In the first state where it is preferable to play a game by firing the game ball so as to flow down the flow-down path capable of entering the first starting opening 15, the front view left side of the effect display device 14 A game ball is fired so as to flow down on the flow down path. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down is close to the left side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, by providing the right effect display device 40R on which the second decorative symbol variation game is played on the right side of the effect display device 14 in the front view, the first decorative symbol variation game is performed mainly in the first state. (2) The decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the first state can be made easy to enjoy.

  Similarly, in the second state where it is preferable to play the game ball by firing the game flow so as to flow down the flow-down path which can enter the second starting opening 17, the front view right side of the effect display device 14 A game ball is fired so as to flow down on the flow down path. Therefore, the line of sight of the player who visually recognizes the game ball flowing down approaches the right side of the effect display device 14 in a front view. In such a situation, by providing the left effect display device 40L on which the first decorative symbol variation game is played on the left side of the effect display device 14 in front view, the second effect symbol game is mainly performed in the second state in which the second decorative symbol variation game is played The decorative symbol variation game can be made difficult to enter the player's field of view, and the game in the second state can be made easy to enjoy.

The above embodiment can be embodied in the following another embodiment (another example).
-In the above embodiment, during the execution of the first special symbol variation game, if a big hit and a big hit game are generated in the big hit lottery performed with the ball entering the second starting port 17 being triggered, the current running Depending on whether or not the first special symbol variation game is a big hit, it may be divided into a case where the execution of the first special symbol variation game is stopped and a case where it is temporarily stopped. For example, when the first special symbol variation game being executed does not become a big hit (in the case of out-of-order or small hit), it becomes a big hit in the big hit lottery performed upon entering the second starting opening 17 When a big hit game is made, as shown in FIG. 7, the first special symbol variation game in progress is forced to be left, and is ended and terminated. On the other hand, when the first special symbol variation game under execution becomes a big hit, when a big hit becomes a big hit in the big hit lottery performed with the ball entering the second starting opening 17, As shown in FIG. 11, the first special symbol variation game in progress may be temporarily stopped. In addition, when execution of the first special symbol variation game is temporarily stopped, after the end of the big hit game, execution of the first special symbol variation game whose execution was temporarily stopped is resumed You may

  As shown in FIG. 11, it is assumed that the second special symbol variation game winning the big hit lottery is ended at timing t21 during the execution of the first special symbol variation game which is a big hit. In this case, the first special symbol variation game which is originally performed at the variation time T3 based on the variation pattern is forcibly terminated at the variation time T4 corresponding to the time when the timing t21 arrives, and is being executed. The first special symbol variation game which has been temporarily stopped. Then, when the big hit game generated at timing t21 ends at timing t22, the first special symbol variation game in which the execution has been temporarily stopped is resumed. In addition, when resuming the first special symbol variation game, the first special symbol variation game may be resumed from the point (on the way) when the execution is temporarily stopped, or the first special symbol from the beginning The symbol variation game may be configured to be resumed. Incidentally, when the first special symbol variation game is to be resumed from the point (the middle) at which execution is temporarily stopped, the variation time Tx of the first special symbol variation game to be resumed (from timing t22, The time until the timing t23 when the first special symbol variation game to be resumed ends is the remaining variation time T5 (= T3-T4). On the other hand, when the first special symbol variation game is configured to be resumed from the beginning, the variation time Tx of the resumed first special symbol variation game is the variation time T3.

  In addition, during the execution of the first special symbol variation game that will be a big hit, if a small hit and small hit game is triggered by a small hit lottery performed with the ball entering the second starting opening 17, Similarly, the execution of the first special symbol variation game may be temporarily stopped. In this case, during the execution of the first special symbol variation game that becomes a big hit, if the hit is made by hitting lottery performed upon entering the second starting opening 17 and the hit game is triggered, it is being executed The first special symbol variation game is temporarily suspended. Also, as described above, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, it becomes a hit in the lottery that is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 17 and hit the hit game When is generated, generating the hit game is equivalent to being prioritized over the first special symbol variation game being executed.

  In addition, when the first special symbol variation game that is to be lost is being executed, it will be hit by a lottery that is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 17, and a hit game will be generated. In this case, causing the hit game may be prioritized over the first special symbol variation game being executed. Similarly, when the first special symbol variation game, which is a small hit, is being executed, the hit is made by a lottery that is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 17, and a hit occurs. When being played, generating the hit game may take precedence over the first special symbol variation game being executed. That is, regardless of the lottery result of the first hit lottery, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, the hit lottery performed upon entering the game ball into the second starting opening 17 is hit And when the hit game is triggered, giving rise to the hit game may be prioritized over the first special symbol variation game being executed.

  Similarly, during the execution of the second special symbol variation game, when a big hit and a big hit game are triggered in the big hit lottery performed upon entering the first starting opening 15, the second special running Depending on whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit, the second special symbol variation game may be divided into a case of stopping execution and a case of stopping temporarily. For example, when the second special symbol variation game being executed does not become a big hit (in the case of out-of-order or small hit), it becomes a big hit in the big hit lottery performed upon entering the first starting opening 15 When a big hit game is activated, the second special symbol variation game in progress is forced to be dropped and ended and configured to be discontinued. On the other hand, when the second special symbol variation game under execution becomes a big hit, when a big hit becomes a big hit in the big hit lottery performed with the ball entering the first starting opening 15, The second special symbol variation game in progress may be temporarily stopped. In addition, when execution of the second special symbol fluctuation game is temporarily stopped, after the big hit game ends, execution of the second special symbol fluctuation game whose execution was temporarily stopped is resumed You may Also, as described above, when the second special symbol variation game is being executed, it becomes a hit in the lottery that is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening 15 and hit the hit game When is generated, generating the hit game is equivalent to being prioritized over the second special symbol variation game being executed. Even when configured in this way, it is possible to suppress overlapping of hit games by each symbol variation game.

  In addition, when the second special symbol variation game that is to be lost is being executed, it will be hit in the lottery that is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening 15 and hit will be hit In this case, causing the hit game may be prioritized over the second special symbol variation game being executed. Similarly, when the second special symbol variation game, which is a small hit, is being executed, a hit lottery is performed with the entry of the game ball to the first starting opening 15 as a chance to hit a hit and a hit occurs. When being played, generating the hit game may take precedence over the second special symbol variation game being executed. That is, regardless of the lottery result of the second hit lottery, when the second special symbol variation game is being executed, the hit lottery performed upon entering the game ball into the first starting opening 15 is hit And when the hit game is triggered, giving rise to the hit game may be prioritized over the second special symbol variation game being executed. As described above, when giving priority to one of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game, the other special symbol variation game is canceled as in the embodiment described above. In addition to prioritizing one special symbol variation game, temporarily stopping the other special symbol variation game and prioritizing one special symbol variation game is included.

  In the above embodiment, even if the other special symbol variation game is ended and hit game is generated while any one of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game is being executed. The execution of the special symbol variation game in progress may be continued. Furthermore, if the previously created hit game is a small hit game, and the other special symbol variation game is a big hit and a big hit game is triggered during the occurrence of the small hit game, the active small The hit game may be ended and a big hit game may be generated.

  For example, in the above embodiment, even when the game ball enters the first starting opening 15, a small hit lottery is performed, and the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol are performed. Let us consider the case where the other special symbol variation game is configured to be continued even after one of the variation games is a small hit and a small hit game is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that a small hit game is generated at a timing t31 with a small hit in a small hit lottery performed with the ball entering the first starting opening 15. The small hit game created at the timing t31 is an end condition of the small hit game by opening and closing the second large winning opening 22 in a predetermined opening and closing manner at a timing t32 when a time T6 elapses from the timing t31. Is established and terminated. Then, the second special symbol variation game that becomes a big hit at timing t33 before time T6 elapses (for example, after time T7 (<T6) elapses) after the small hit game is generated at timing t31. When a big hit game is triggered, the small hit game in progress is forcibly terminated and canceled. After that, the big hit game ends at timing t34, and the second special symbol variation game is executed if the second reserved memory number is “1 or more”.

  Incidentally, during the occurrence of the big hit game, when restricting the execution of the special symbol variation game, the first special symbol variation game is if the first pending storage number is "one or more" from the timing t34 when the big hit game ends. It can also be configured to be implemented. On the other hand, even during the occurrence of a big hit game, if you allow the execution of the first special symbol variation game that is not the second special symbol variation game that triggered the occurrence of the big hit game, the small hit game was canceled If the first number of pending storages is "one or more" at timing t33, the first special symbol variation game may be executed. As described above, in the case of a small hit game out of the big hit game and the small hit game, even if the big hit game is generated during the occurrence of the small hit game, the small hit game being generated may be cancelled. Good.

  -In the above embodiment, when the first special symbol variation game is being executed, the hit is made by the winning lottery which is triggered by the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening 17, and the hit game is generated. In this case, generating the hit game may not take precedence over the first special symbol variation game being executed. Similarly, when the second special symbol variation game is being executed, and a hit is made and hit is triggered in a hit lottery performed triggered by the entry of the game ball into the first starting port 15. The generation of the hit game does not have to be prioritized over the second special symbol variation game being executed. In addition, in the case where a hit is made by a lottery where a game ball is entered into any one of the first start port 15 and the second start port 17 and a hit game is generated, the hit The generation of the game may be configured to be prioritized over the special symbol variation game being executed.

  In the above embodiment, the second large winning opening 22 is configured to be open only in one or the other of the big hit game and the small hit game (the entry of the game ball is permitted) It is also good. For example, the second large winning opening 22 may be opened only in at least the small hit game of the big hit game and the small hit game.

  In the above embodiment, when there is only one type of normal out-of-hand pattern, regardless of the value of the normal pattern allocation random number, when non-winning in the normal winning lottery, one type of out-of-normal pattern is determined You can also Similarly, when there is one kind of ordinary hit symbol, regardless of the value of the ordinary symbol distribution random number, it is possible to configure so that one kind of ordinary hit symbol can be determined when the ordinary hit lottery is won. . In addition, it is not necessary to generate a random number for normal symbol distribution if both normal hit symbol and normal offset symbol are one type, even if processing for acquiring the value of the normal symbol distribution random number is not performed. Good.

  In the above embodiment, when the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is one type (for example, always 5 seconds), the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is determined regardless of the value of the random number for the normal symbol variation pattern. Can also be configured to In this case, it is not necessary to provide a normal pattern variation pattern, and it is not necessary to generate a random number for a normal pattern variation pattern. Moreover, it is not necessary to perform the process which acquires the value of the random number for normal pattern fluctuation patterns.

  In the embodiment, the variation pattern table in which the variation pattern is determined may be changed in accordance with the number of symbol variation games executed after the big hit game is over. For example, the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed after the end of the big hit game based on the probability variation big hit. On the other hand, after the symbol variation game is executed a predetermined number of times after the end of the big hit game based on the probability variation big hit, the variation pattern table of the special symbol variation game tends to be shorter than the fourth variation pattern table HT4 It may be configured to be

  In the above embodiment, the variation pattern table (variation pattern group) in which the variation pattern is determined can be changed in response to the winning of the small hitting lottery and the occurrence of the small hitting game. It is also good. For example, the variation pattern table may be configured to change only when the small hit lottery is won in only the first state out of the first state and the second state. At this time, the variation pattern table referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game may be changed, or the variation pattern table referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game may be changed. Also, both of the variation pattern table referred to when performing the first special symbol variation game and the variation pattern table referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, a plurality of effect modes (effect state) may be configured to be executable. Then, the effect mode to be executed in the first state may be different from the effect mode to be executed in the second state. The type of effect mode may be made different by changing the type of background image, the color of light emitted from the decoration lamp LA, the music output from the speaker SP, or the like.

  In the above embodiment, in the first state, the variation time of the first special symbol variation game is always shorter than the variation time of the second special symbol variation game regardless of the lottery result of various lottery (for example, big hit lottery) It may be configured as follows. Similarly, in the second state, the variation time of the second special symbol variation game may always be shorter than the variation time of the first special symbol variation game, regardless of the lottery results of the various lotterys.

  In the first embodiment, the display area smaller than the first display area HR1 may be only one of the second right display area HR2r and the second left display area HR2l. The two right display areas HR2r and the second left display area HR2l may be new display areas different from each other. For example, in the first state, the second decorative symbol variation game is played in the second right display region HR2r, and in the second state, the first decorative symbol variation game is played in the second right display region HR2r. May. In addition, the second display area HR2 smaller than the first display area HR1 is not limited to the position of the second right display area HR2r or the second left display area HR2l, but the middle upper part of the effect display device 14 or the middle The display area may be divided into a lower part, a central part, a lower left part, and a lower right part.

  In the above embodiment, "the opening and closing aspect of the opening and closing member does not change in the first state and the second state" means that the opening and closing aspect of the opening and closing member in the first state and the opening and closing aspect of the opening and closing member in the second state are the same. Not only that there is a certain thing, it may be an extent that they are substantially the same or that the player is not aware of the difference.

  In the above embodiment, the number of big winning openings may be one, or three or more. When one large winning opening is provided, only one of the first large winning opening 21 and the second large winning opening 22 in the above embodiment may be provided, or the first large winning opening may be provided. 21 and the second large winning opening 22 may be configured to be provided with another large winning opening.

  In the above embodiment, the number of gaming balls to be paid out as a winning ball triggered by the entrance of the gaming ball to the first big winning opening 21 and the winning of the gaming ball into the second large winning opening 22 The number of game balls to be paid out as balls may be the same, or either one may be more (or less) than the other.

  -In the big hit game of the above-mentioned embodiment, time (upper limit opening time) which first big winning a prize opening 21 or 2nd big winning a prize opening 22 can be open in each opening game does not have to be all the same, a part is different It may be In addition, the number of open games in the big hit game based on all the big hit shown in the above embodiment may not be the same, and the number of open games in some big hit games is more than the number of open games in other big hit games It may be more (or less).

  In the above-described embodiment, the big winning openings 21 and 22 in the open state in the big hit game based on each big hit may be changed. For example, in a single big hit game, an open game in which the first large winning opening 21 is in an open state and an open game in which the second large winning opening 22 is in an open state may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, a plurality of types of small hits may be set. In this case, for example, the type of the small hit may be determined by determining the small hit design based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. Note that the large winning openings 21 and 22 to be opened may be different depending on the type of the small hit, or the time and the number of times the large winning openings 21 and 22 may be open may be different. By increasing the types of small hits in this way, when small hit games are made to occur, let's pay attention to what kind of small hit based small hit games were made to make the game enjoyable and improve interest Can be

The above embodiment may be embodied in a gaming machine in which a definite change state is not generated.
In the above embodiment, the second variation pattern table HT2 may be referred to when performing the second special symbol variation game regardless of whether or not the definite variation condition is generated, as the first condition. Then, regardless of whether or not the definite variation state is generated, the state in which the fourth variation pattern table HT4 is referred to in performing the second special symbol variation game may be set as the second state.

  In the above embodiment, the probability of winning a big hit lottery (probability of becoming a big hit in a big hit lottery) and the probability of winning a small hit lottery (probability of being a small hit in a small hit lottery) may be changed.

  In the above embodiment, the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery are performed separately, but the big hit lottery and the small hit lottery may be performed in the same process. For example, when comparing the value of the hit determination random number and the determination value, if the determination value that matches the value of the hit determination random number is a big hit determination value, it is determined as a big hit, while a match that matches the value of the hit determination random number If the value is a small hit determination value, it may be determined to be a small hit.

  In each variation pattern table of the above embodiment, all of the variation patterns defined as determinable variation patterns may be made different. In addition, the variation patterns that can be determined in each variation pattern table may be the same, and the determination rates of the variation patterns may be different.

  The gaming machine according to the above-described embodiment may be a gaming machine in which an improvement in the ball-filling rate (also referred to as a short circuit state or a short time state) is generated. The “ball pitch improvement state” refers to a state in which the game ball can easily enter the second starting opening 17 by at least one of the following three elements. The first factor is that the probability that the open / close blade 16 is determined to be open is higher than the normal probability, and the second factor is to open the open / close blade 16 The time until the open / close blade 16 is actually opened after the determination is determined is short, and the third factor is that the time for the open / close blade 16 to be open is long. Incidentally, "the probability that it is determined that the opening and closing blade 16 is in the open state" corresponds to the winning probability of the regular hit lottery in the above embodiment. In addition, “the time from when the open / close blade 16 is determined to be open to when the open / close blade 16 is actually opened” corresponds to the fluctuation time of the normal symbol change game in the above embodiment. Further, “the time when the opening and closing blade 16 is in the open state” corresponds to the time when the opening and closing blade 16 is in the open state in the normal hit game in the above embodiment. Further, in the above embodiment, the time when the definite change state is not generated is set as the first state, and the time when the positive change state is generated is set as the second state. While the first state may be set as the first state, the second state may be set when the state of improvement of the ball entry rate is generated. It should be noted that "time for opening / closing blade 16 to be open in normal hit game" is opening / closing in normal hit game if the number of times for opening / closing blade 16 to be open is the same even if the time per opening is the same The time for which the blade 16 is in the open state is long. In addition, even if the number of times the open / close blade 16 is in the open state is the same, if the time per open state is long, the time in which the open / close blade 16 is in the open state in a normal hit game is long.

  The above embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine using only a special symbol of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. In this case, for example, the special symbol variation game may be performed in the effect display device 14, the sub effect display device 40, the left effect display device 40L, the right effect display device 40R, and the like.
