Then, if the second big prize opening 25 is opened in the final round of the jackpot game, and there is a ball entering the probability variation opening 256 of the sorting role 250 through the second big prize opening 25 in the final round, the big hit game Probability variation (probability variation) that the probability of winning the jackpot in the later gaming state is high probability (probability variation) time in which the winning of the game and ordinary figure becomes high probability, the average opening time of the power utility is lengthened, and the variation time of the special figure is shortened This is a basic configuration that shifts to a shortened (short time) game (high probability open extended state).

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a main routine executed by the main controller 40. The “main routine” is composed of the main processing (S100 to S110, S115) and the remaining processing (S111). The main routine is started based on an interrupt signal having a period of 2 ms or 4 ms, and first determines whether the interrupt is a normal interrupt ( S100). This determination is made based on whether or not a specific numerical value is written at a specific address in the RAM. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the initial setting (S115) is executed. The numerical value for determining whether or not it is a normal interrupt is written in the RAM as part of this initial setting.

  If it is a normal interrupt (S100: yes), the initial value random number update process (S101), the update process of the big hit determination random number (S102), which is the random number value for the success / failure determination of the first and second special drawings, the first and second Update process of random number for determining big hit symbol of special figure (S103), Update process of random number for determining normal hit figure (S104), Update process of random number for reach determination related to reach of first and second special figure (S105), Random pattern determination random number update process (S106), winning confirmation process (S107), success / failure determination process (S108), each output process (S109), fraud monitoring process (S110) regarding the variation patterns of the first and second special figures And the initial random number update process (S111) is looped within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the start winning process executed by the main controller 40. The “start winning process” shown in FIG. 6 is performed when a game ball enters the first special figure start port 23A and the second special figure start port 23B, or when the game ball passes the normal start gate 22. Various random numbers such as the validity random numbers that are extracted are stored (stored) in the main control device 40 as reserved storage. Then, a process for confirming whether or not the stored random number is a preset value is performed before the determination of whether or not, and various commands resulting from entering the special figure starting ports 23A and 23B are transmitted to the sub integrated control device. The process to transmit to 42 is performed. Thereafter, the holding memory stored when the game ball enters the first special figure starting port 23A is the first holding memory, and the holding memory stored when the game ball enters the second special figure starting port 23B. Is the second reserved memory, and the reserved memory stored when the game ball passes through the start gate 22 is the usual reserved memory. In the present embodiment, the number of reserved storages that can be stored is four for each of the first reserved memory, the second reserved memory, and the ordinary reserved memory.

  In the “start winning process”, first, it is determined whether or not the first special figure starting SW 503 detects a ball entering the first special figure starting port 23A (S200). If there is no entry (S200: no), the process proceeds to S206. If there is an incoming ball (S200: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of first reserved memories stored in the main controller 40 is less than the upper limit (= 4) (S201). If it is the upper limit value (S201: no), the process proceeds to S206, and if it is less than the upper limit value (S201: yes), the extracted jackpot determination random number, jackpot symbol determination random number, reach determination random number, fluctuation pattern determination random number Is stored as the first reserved memory, and 1 is added to the first reserved memory counter indicating the first reserved memory number (S202).

  Subsequently, a prefetch determination of the stored first hold storage is performed (S203). Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number is a value that causes a jackpot, and if it is a jackpot value, the type of the jackpot symbol is confirmed. If the big hit determination is lost, it is confirmed whether or not the reach determination random number is a value that becomes super reach. If it is not a super reach, it is confirmed whether or not it is a reach value, and the variation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern. By making these determinations, it is determined whether or not the stored random number value is a specific value that the player can expect. In the process of S204, a first prefetch determination command is generated from the prefetch determination result, transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 42, and the first hold number indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in the subsequent process of S205. An instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42.

  Next, in the process of S206, it is determined whether or not the second special figure starting SW 504 has detected a ball entering the second special figure starting port 23B. If there is no entry (S206: no), the process proceeds to S212. If there is an incoming ball (S206: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of second reserved memories stored in the main controller 40 is less than the upper limit (= 4) (S207). If it is the upper limit value (S207: no), the process proceeds to S212, and if it is less than the upper limit value (S207: yes), the extracted jackpot determination random number, jackpot symbol determination random number, reach determination random number, fluctuation pattern determination random number Is stored as the second reserved memory, and 1 is added to the second reserved memory counter indicating the second reserved memory number (S208).

  Subsequently, the prefetch determination of the stored second reserved storage is performed (S209). As in the first reserved memory, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the big hit determination random number is a value that causes a big hit, and if it is a big hit value, the type of the big hit symbol is confirmed. If the big hit determination is lost, it is confirmed whether or not the reach determination random number is a value that becomes super reach. If it is not a super reach, it is confirmed whether or not it is a reach value, and the variation time is confirmed from the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern. By making these determinations, it is determined whether or not the stored random number value is a specific value that the player can expect. In the process of S210, the second prefetch determination command is generated from the prefetch determination result, transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42, and the second hold number indicating the value of the second hold memory counter added in the subsequent process of S211. An instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42.

  Next, in the process of S212, it is confirmed whether or not the start gate 22 has been passed by the normal symbol operation SW 505. If there is no passage through the gate (S212: no), the process returns. If there is a gate passage (S212: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the number of reserved drawings stored in the main controller 40 is less than the upper limit (= 4) (S213). If it is the upper limit value (S213: no), the process returns. If it is less than the upper limit value (S213: yes), the extracted random number for winning determination and the random number for determining winning symbol are stored as a general-purpose reserved memory, and 1 is added to a general-purpose reserved memory counter indicating the number of general-purpose reserved memory. (S214). A general-purpose reserved memory number instruction command indicating the value of the added general-purpose reserved memory counter is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 (S215), and the process returns.

  When the sub integrated control device 53 receives the first and second reserved memory number instruction commands, the sub integrated control device 53 performs control to change each reserved memory number displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 according to the reserved memory number indicated by the received command. . Further, in this pachinko machine, the production symbol display device 21 does not display the ordinary reserved memory number, but it may be configured to display in response to the reception of the ordinary reserved memory number instruction command. The instruction command itself may not be transmitted. A configuration is also conceivable in which normal prefetch determination is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42. As a result, it is possible to implement a pre-reading notice that expects a long opening of the ordinary electric accessory.

  FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D are flowcharts showing the special figure determination processing that is executed by the main controller 40. FIG. This process is performed by determining whether or not the big hit determination random number acquired when the main control device 40 enters the first special figure starting port 23A or the second special figure starting port 23B and the gaming state at the time of lottery (during determination) Whether or not to generate a big hit depending on whether or not it is a probable change state. If the determination result is a big hit, determine the big hit symbol that performs definite display from multiple big hit symbols based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol and decide The game content of the jackpot game and the type of the game state after the jackpot game are determined according to the jackpot symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, in the special figure determination process, first, it is confirmed whether or not the condition device is inoperative (S300). This is done based on the big hit flag. The jackpot flag is a flag that stands when a special drawing lottery is won (when the value of the acquired jackpot determination random number matches a predetermined value). If the condition device is not activated (S300: yes), it is confirmed whether or not the special figure is in a variable stop state (S301), and whether or not it is a fixed symbol non-display period (S302). Is done.

  If both the processes of S301 and S302 are affirmative (S301: yes, S302: yes), as shown in FIG. 7B, it is confirmed whether there is a second reserved memory in the process of S310. If there is the second reserved memory (S310: yes), the process proceeds to S312. If there is no second reserved memory (S310: no), it is confirmed whether there is a first reserved memory (S311). If there is no first reserved memory (S311: no), the process proceeds to special game processing. If there is the first reserved memory (S311: yes), the process proceeds to S312. In this manner, the determination of whether or not the second reserved memory is appropriate is performed with priority over the first reserved memory by the processes of S310 and S311.

  In the subsequent process of S312, the shift processing of the first reserved memory or the second reserved memory for determining whether or not is correct is performed, and the oldest first reserved memory or second reserved memory is set as the target of the determination of the success or failure. 1 is subtracted from the reserved storage counter indicating the first or second reserved memory number. Next, a hold number instruction command indicating the value of the hold storage counter thus subtracted is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 (S313).

  In the jackpot determination random number comparison processing in S314, the jackpot determination random number stored in the reserved memory, which is the target of the special figure success / failure determination, is compared with a preset special figure success / failure determination table, and the value of the jackpot determination random number is determined as the special figure. Compare with the judgment value in the success / failure judgment table. There are two types of special figure success / failure determination tables, one for normal probability (low probability 1 / 358.148) and one for high probability (1 / 37.6855), and the gaming state at the time of determination is normal probability state. If so, comparison is performed using a normal probability use determination table, and if a high probability probability change state, comparison is performed using a high probability use determination table.

  In the subsequent process of S315, it is confirmed whether or not the determination is a big hit based on the comparison process of S314. If it is a big hit (S315: yes), in the process of S316, the big hit symbol is determined based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol in the reserved storage that is the object of the determination. In the subsequent process of S317, a big hit setting process is performed. In this process, based on the determined jackpot symbol, for example, the setting of the opening effect time of the jackpot game executed by the effect symbol display device 21, the setting of the time of the ending effect, the opening pattern of the jackpot game (round The total number, the opening mode of the first grand prize opening 24 or the second grand prize opening 25) and the like are set. Note that the processing of S315 corresponds to “win / fail judgment means”.

  After the big hit is set, a fluctuation pattern such as a big hit fluctuation time displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 is determined based on the random number for determining the fluctuation pattern of the hold memory that is the object of the determination in S318.

  In the process of S315, if it is not a big hit but a loss (S315: no), a lost symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 21 is selected in the process of S319. Next, the process proceeds to S318, and a variation pattern such as a variation time for a special figure loss is determined.

  Regardless of whether the game is a big hit or a loss, in the process of S320 following the process of S318, the data indicating the result of the success / failure determination (type of big hit symbol, type of loss (presence / absence of reach), variation time, etc.) Is output to the sub-integrated control device 42, and the special symbol display device 28A or the second special diagram display device 28B performs a process of variably displaying the special symbol, and the process proceeds to the special game process. Therefore, the sub integrated control device 42 can grasp the type of jackpot symbol, the lost symbol, the presence / absence of reach, and the variation time by receiving the variation instruction command.

  If the special figure is changing in the process of S301 of FIG. 7A (S301: no), as shown in FIG. 7C, the fluctuation time of the special figure (based on the fluctuation pattern selected in S318) has elapsed in the process of S330. If the change time can be confirmed (S330: yes), a symbol stop command is output to the sub-integrated control device 42 and the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B. And the symbol determined in S316 or S319 is fixedly displayed (S331). The sub-integrated control device 42 that has received the symbol stop command outputs an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the pseudo (effect) symbol corresponding to the special symbol predetermined in the effect symbol control device 43, and the effect symbol control device 43 Based on the signal, the effect symbol display device 21 is controlled to display the pseudo (effect) symbol. Thereby, the start and end of the variation of the special symbol and the pseudo (effect) symbol are the same timing (synchronized).

  In the subsequent processing of S332, it is confirmed whether or not the specially displayed special figure shows a big hit or a big hit symbol. If it is a big hit symbol (S332: yes), the time for which the fixed symbol is displayed is set in the fixed symbol display setting process in S333, and the condition device operation start process for setting the big hit flag is executed in the process in S334. In the subsequent processing of S335, both the “probability change flag” indicating that the gaming state is the probability change state and the “time reduction flag” indicating that the game state is the time reduction state are both reset to “0”, and the duration of the probability change The “probability change counter” for measuring the time and the “short time counter” for measuring the duration of the short time are reset to “0”. By these processes, the gaming state in the big hit game (special game) is reset to the normal state. Then, it shifts to special game processing.

  If it is not a big hit symbol in the process of S332 (S332: no), the display time for displaying the fixed symbol is set in the process of S337. In the subsequent processing of S338, it is confirmed whether or not the probability variation flag is “1”. If the probability variation flag is “1” (S338: yes), the probability variation counter is subtracted (S339). It is checked whether or not the value is “0” (S340). If the value of the probability variation counter is “0” (S340: yes), the probability variation flag is set to “0” (S341).

  In the subsequent processing of S342, it is confirmed whether or not the hour / hour flag is “1”. If the hour / hour flag is “1” (S342: yes), the hour / hour counter is subtracted (S343). It is confirmed whether or not the value is “0” (S344). If the value of the hour / hour counter is “0” (S344: yes), the hour / hour flag is set to “0” (S345). Thereafter, the process proceeds to “special game processing”.

  Returning to FIG. 7A, if the confirmed symbol is being displayed in the processing of S302 (S302: no), whether or not the confirmed symbol display time set in the processing of S318 has ended in the processing of S350 shown in FIG. 7D. Confirm. If the display time is ended (S350: yes), the first special figure display device 28A or the second special figure display device 28B is controlled to end the special figure fixed display, and an instruction signal is sent to the sub integrated control device 42. A confirmed symbol display ending process is performed to end the confirmed display of the pseudo (effect) symbol that is transmitted (S351). Then, it shifts to special game processing.

  9A, FIG. 9B, FIG. 9C, FIG. 9D and FIG. 9E are flowcharts showing special game processing executed by the main controller 40. The special game process is a process for controlling the progress of the big hit game.

  After starting the special game process, the main control device 40 determines whether or not the condition device is operating based on the big hit flag (step S412). When the condition device is not operating (step S412: “NO”), the main control device 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  When the condition device is operating (step S412: “YES”), the main control device 40 determines whether or not an open round for opening the first grand prize port 24 or the second big prize port 25 is being performed. Judgment is made (step S414).

  When the opening round is not being performed (step S414: “NO”), the main control device 40 determines whether or not the closing interval for closing the first grand prize winning port 24 and the second grand prize winning port 25 is being implemented. (Step S416).

  When the closing interval is not being implemented (step S416: “NO”), main controller 40 determines whether or not the jackpot start effect that is performed prior to the first opening round in the jackpot game is being implemented (step). S418).

  When the big hit start effect is not being implemented (step S418: “NO”), main controller 40 executes a big hit start effect process (step S419). In the big hit start effect process (step S419), main controller 40 transmits a command to instruct the big hit start effect to sub integrated control device. As a result, the sub integrated control device 42 performs a big hit start effect using the effect symbol display device 21 and the speaker 112. After executing the big hit start effect process (step S419), main controller 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  When the big hit start effect is being implemented (step S418: “YES”), main controller 40 determines whether or not the end time of the big hit start effect has elapsed (step S422). If it is not the end time of the big hit start effect (step S422: “NO”), the main controller 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  When it is the end time of the big hit start effect (step S422: “YES”), the main controller 40 sets a value “1” to the round variable N that manages the open round (step S424). Thereafter, the main controller 40 starts the first round R1 that is an open round (step S426). At that time, the main control device 40, according to the type of jackpot symbol that triggered the current jackpot game, as the first prize opening 24 and the second grand prize winning opening 25 as the big winning opening to be opened in the open round Is selected (see FIG. 8).

  After starting the first round R1 (step S426), the main controller 40 determines whether or not the big winning opening that is opened in the current opening round is the second big winning opening 25 (step S428). When the big prize opening opened in the current round is the second big prize opening 25 (step S428: “YES”), the main control device 40 executes a shutter opening process (step S429). In the shutter release process (step S429), main controller 40 sends a control signal to shutter solenoid 514 to open shutter member 254. As a result, the game ball that has won the second big winning opening 25 can enter the probability changing opening 256. On the other hand, when the big prize opening opened in the current round is the first big prize opening 24 (step S428: “NO”), the main control device 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  Turning to the description of FIG. 9B, when the opening round is being performed (step S414 in FIG. 9A: “YES”), the main controller 40 determines that the main winning opening opened in the current opening round is the second grand prize. It is determined whether or not the mouth 25 (step S432). When the grand prize opening opened in the current round is the second grand prize opening 25 (step S432: “YES”), the main controller 40 manages the entry of the game ball into the probability variation opening 256. It is determined whether or not the privilege flag F is a value “0” (step S434). The value “0” of the privilege flag F indicates a state in which no game ball has entered the probability variation opening 256 in the current big hit game. The value “1” of the privilege flag F indicates that a game ball has entered the probability variation opening 256 in the current big hit game.

  When the privilege flag F is the value “0” (step S434: “YES”), the main control device 40 determines whether or not the game ball has passed the specific area, in other words, the specific area SW508 is connected to the probable opening 256. It is determined whether or not a game ball has been entered (step S436). When the game ball passes through the specific area (step S436: “YES”), main controller 40 sets a value “1” in privilege flag F (step S438). After the value “1” is set in the privilege flag F (step S438) or when the privilege flag F is the value “1” (step S434: “NO”), the main controller 40 performs the shutter closing process (step S43). S439) is executed. In the shutter closing process (step S439), main controller 40 transmits a control signal to shutter solenoid 514, thereby closing shutter member 254. As a result, the game ball that has won the second big winning opening 25 cannot enter the probability changing opening 256.

  When the grand prize opening opened in the current round is the first grand prize opening 24 (step S432: NO) or when the game ball does not pass through the specific area (step S436: “NO”). The main control device 40 determines whether or not the number of winnings, which is the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening that is open this time, is less than nine (step S442). When the number of winning a prize winning is less than 9 (step S442: “YES”), the main control device 40 determines whether or not the maximum opening time of the winning a prize opening that has been opened this time has ended. (Step S444). In the present embodiment, the maximum opening time of the first big winning opening 24 is 28.0 seconds and the maximum opening time of the second big winning opening 25 is 28.0 seconds per opening round. When the maximum opening time of the special winning opening opened this time has not ended (step S444: “NO”), the main controller 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  Turning to the description of FIG. 9C, when the number of winning prizes in the grand prize opening is 9 or more (step S442 in FIG. 9B: “NO”), or the maximum opening time of the big winning opening currently opened is over. If so (step S444 in FIG. 9B: “YES”), main controller 40 executes a special winning opening closing process (step S452). In the big winning opening closing process (step S452), the main controller 40 closes the first big winning opening 24 or the second big winning opening 25, which is the big winning opening that is being opened in the current open round. This ends the current open round.

  After executing the big prize closing process (step S452), the main controller 40 determines whether or not the open round that has been completed this time is the final round (step S454). If the open round that has ended this time is not the final round (step S454: “NO”), the main control device 40 determines whether or not the second big prize opening 25 is scheduled to be opened in the next open round (step S454). S456).

  When it is planned to open the first grand prize opening 24 in the next opening round (step S456: “NO”), the main control device 40 operates as the interval setting means, and is the first interval that is the closing interval of 1 second. 1 is started (step S458). On the other hand, when the second grand prize opening 25 is scheduled to be opened in the next open round (step S456: “YES”), the main control device 40 operates as the interval setting means, thereby closing the 2-second closing interval. A certain second closing interval is started (step S459). After setting the first closing interval or the second closing interval (steps S458 and S459), main controller 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  Moving to the description of FIG. 9D, when the closing interval is being implemented (step S416 of FIG. 9A: “YES”), main controller 40 determines whether or not the end time of the current closing interval has elapsed. (Step S462). When the end time of the current closing interval has elapsed (step S462), main controller 40 increments round variable N (step S464). Thereafter, main controller 40 starts an open round (Nth round) according to round variable N (step S466). At that time, the main control device 40, according to the type of jackpot symbol that triggered the current jackpot game, as the first prize opening 24 and the second grand prize winning opening 25 as the big winning opening to be opened in the open round Is selected (see FIG. 8).

  After starting the opening round (Nth round) (step S466), main controller 40 determines whether or not the big winning opening to be opened in the current opening round is second big winning opening 25 (step S468). ). When the big prize opening opened in the current round is the second big prize opening 25 (step S468: “YES”), the main control device 40 executes a shutter opening process (step S469). In the shutter release process (step S469), main controller 40 transmits a control signal to shutter solenoid 514 to open shutter member 254. As a result, the game ball that has won the second big winning opening 25 can enter the probability changing opening 256.

  When the closing interval is not being implemented (step S416: “NO”), when the big winning opening to be opened in the current opening round is the first big winning opening 24 (step S468: “NO”), or shutter release processing After executing (Step S469), main controller 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  Moving to the description of FIG. 9E, when the open round that has ended this time is the final round (step S454 of FIG. 9C: “YES”), the main control device 40 executes a big hit end effect process (step S472). In the jackpot end effect process (step S472), the main control device 40 transmits to the sub integrated control device 42 a command for instructing the jackpot end effect to be performed following the final open round in the jackpot game. As a result, the sub integrated control device 42 performs a big hit end effect using the effect symbol display device 21 and the speaker 112.

  After executing the big hit end effect process (step S472), main controller 40 executes a condition device stop process (step S474). In the condition device stop process (step S474), main controller 40 stops the condition device by changing the setting of various flags. After executing the condition device stop process (step S474), main controller 40 determines whether or not privilege flag F is a value “1” (step S480).

  When the privilege flag F is the value “1” (step S480: “YES”), the main controller 40 sets the value “1” in the probability variation flag (step S481). The probability change flag is a flag for managing whether or not the game state is changed to the probability change state after the end of the big hit game. The value “1” of the probability change flag indicates that the game state is changed to the probability change state after the big hit game ends. The value “0” of the probability change flag indicates that the game state is not changed to the probability change state after the big hit game ends.

  After setting the probability variation flag (step S481), main controller 40 sets the value “160” to the probability variation counter (step S482). The probability variation counter is a variable for managing a period during which the probability variation state is continued, and indicates the number of times the special symbol can be changed in the probability variation state. When the value “160” is set in the probability variation counter, the probability variation state is continued until the number of special symbol variations reaches 160 times.

  After setting the probability variation counter (step S482), main controller 40 sets the value “1” to the time reduction flag (step S483). The time reduction flag is a flag for managing whether or not the game state is changed to the time reduction state after the end of the big hit game. The value “1” of the time reduction flag indicates that the gaming state is changed to the time reduction state after the big hit game is ended. The value “0” of the probability variation flag indicates that the gaming state is not changed to the short-time state after the big hit game is over.

  After setting the time reduction flag (step S483), main controller 40 sets the value “160” in the time reduction counter (step S484). The time reduction counter is a variable for managing a period during which the time reduction state is continued, and indicates the number of times the special symbol can be changed in the time reduction state. When the value “160” is set in the time reduction counter, the time reduction state is continued until the number of times the special symbol changes reaches 160 times. Therefore, when the privilege flag F is the value “1” (step S480: “YES”), the probability variation state and the short time state are simultaneously performed after the big hit game, and the probability that the special symbol variation reaches 160 times is higher than normal. It becomes a high probability short-time gaming state (high probability open extended state) by.

  On the other hand, when the privilege flag F is the value “0” (step S480: “NO”), the main controller 40 sets the value “0” in the probability variation flag (step S491) and the value “0” in the probability variation counter. Is set (step S492). Thereafter, main controller 40 sets the value “1” in the hour / hour flag (step S493) and sets the value “100” in the hour / hour counter (step S494). Therefore, when the privilege flag F is the value “0” (step S480: “NO”), the short-time state is implemented after the big hit game is finished, and the low probability short-time game with the normal probability until the special symbol variation reaches 100 times. State (low probability open extension state).

  After setting the hour / hour counter (steps S484 and S494), main controller 40 sets “0” to privilege flag F (step S485). After that, the main control device 40 notifies the player of the gaming state after the big hit game through the effect symbol display device 21 (step S486). Thereafter, main controller 40 transmits a state designation command for designating a gaming state after the big hit game to sub integrated control device 42 (step S447). Thereafter, the main controller 40 ends the special game process and returns.

  In the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 includes a success / failure determination unit, a special symbol notification unit, a big hit game execution unit, and an interval setting unit.

  The main control device 40 functions as a success / failure determination means for determining whether the game is a big hit or a loss based on the game ball entering the start port in the special figure success / failure determination process (steps S315 in FIGS. 7A to 7D).

  Main controller 40 functions as special symbol notifying means for notifying the determination result by the correct / incorrect determination means by a special symbol confirmation display in the special symbol determination determination process (steps S331 in FIGS. 7A to 7D).

Therefore, in order to achieve part or all of the above-described effects, replacement and combination can be appropriately performed. Further, technical features that are not described as essential in the present specification can be deleted as appropriate. For example, according to the present invention, a predetermined number of game balls are enclosed in a pachinko machine base, and the enclosed game balls are launched toward the game area of the game board, and the released game balls are collected and collected. You may apply to the enclosed pachinko machine which plays a game using a predetermined number of game balls inside by circulating a ball again.

  In a ball and ball game machine with a single big prize opening instead of two big prize openings, the opening round that closes the specific area provided in the big prize opening is set as the first opening round, and the inside of the big prize opening The first closing interval and the second closing interval in the above-described embodiment may be applied after setting the opening round that opens the specific region provided in the second opening round to the second opening round.

  The length of the open round, the combination pattern, and the total number are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set as appropriate. The lengths of the first opening round and the second opening round are not limited to constant values (28.0 seconds), and may be different lengths in at least one opening round. The length of the first closing interval is not limited to a constant value (1 second), and may be a different length in at least one closing interval. The length of the second closing interval is not limited to a constant value (2 seconds), and may be a different length in at least one closing interval.

Moreover, the structure by which a different closing interval may be chosen by the combination of an open round and a special winning opening may be sufficient. For example, even if the same second grand prize opening is opened, the progress status of the big hit game can be changed by making the closing interval time different depending on whether it is opened to 4 rounds or 10 rounds which is the final round. A closed interval time can be set.

  Further, on the assumption that the main control device 40 transmits a command to the sub integrated control device 42 between rounds, not only the configuration in which the closing interval time is different but also the closing interval time is the same, which of the big winning mouths is the same. A different inter-round interval command may be transmitted to the sub integrated control device 42 depending on whether it is released. Thus, also the closing interval time opened in advance which of the winning opening while previously set at the same time to respond, it is possible to change the interval images as in the fourth and fifth embodiments It is possible to allow the player to play the game without being confused.

  This inter-round interval command may also be different from the inter-round interval command before the big prize opening is changed as in the first embodiment, or between the rounds after the change as in the second embodiment. The interval commands may be different, or the interval commands between the previous and next rounds may be different as in the third embodiment. This makes it possible to notify the player in advance before the big prize opening is changed if the big prize opening is changed. Further, after the big winning opening is changed, it is possible to notify that the launch position is returned to the original position or that the big winning opening is changed again. In addition, it is possible to notify both before and after the special winning opening is changed.
