A. First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view of a game board 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 1 has a substantially circular game area surrounded by well-known guide rails 2a and 2b, and a first game area 3a (book It is divided into a first game area of the present invention) and a second game area 3b (corresponding to the second game area of the present invention). The left side of the center case 5 is the first game area 3a, and the right side is the second game area. The game ball that has reached the area A shown in FIG. 4A rolls on the second game area guiding path 101, reaches the second game area 3b (the right side of the center case 5), and does not reach the area A. Flows down the first game area 3a (left side of the center case 5). A large number of game nails are planted in the first game area 3a and the second game area 3b.

  The center case 5 is provided with a warp entrance, a warp passage, a stage, a window on which the screen of the effect design display device 6 is exposed, and the like, similarly to the known case. Below the center case 5, a first starting port 11 is arranged, and three normal winning ports 31 are provided on the left of the first starting port 11. The normal winning opening 31 is a normal winning opening where the winning rate does not change.

  A normal symbol operation gate 17 is disposed in the second game area 3b on the right side of the center case 5, and below the normal symbol operation gate 17, a first blade is integrated with the right side of the center case 5 and one of the blades opens and closes. A special winning opening 14 is provided. An ordinary electric accessory 16 is arranged below the first winning opening 14, and when the ordinary electric accessory 16 operates, it becomes possible for a game ball to enter the second starting opening 12.

  At the lower left of the second opening 12 (to the right of the first opening 11), a second special winning opening 91 provided with a sorting device 92 having a specific area 94 (corresponding to the specific area of the present invention) is arranged. ing. The structure of the distribution device 92 will be described later with reference to FIG. The first special winning opening 14 operates at the time of the big hit game (including the big hit game after the occurrence of the special hit big hit), and the second big winning opening 91 operates at the time of the small hit game.

  The first starting port 11 is configured such that game balls flowing down the second game area 3b are difficult to enter due to the molded shapes of the game nails and the center case 5 that are implanted. As a result, only the game balls that have flowed down the first game area 3a can enter the first starting port 11 substantially. For the ordinary symbol operation gate 17, the first special winning opening 14, the second starting opening 12, and the second special winning opening 91, only the game balls flowing down the second game area 3b can enter for the same reason. Has become.

  Below the second game area 3b, a normal symbol display device 7 including a plurality of LEDs, a normal symbol holding number display device 8, a first special symbol display device 9 including a 7-segment display device, and a second special symbol display. A device 10, a first special symbol reservation number display device 18 including a plurality of LEDs, and a second special symbol reservation number display device 19 including one LED are arranged. It becomes difficult for the player to reliably recognize the display contents of the various display devices arranged at this position, and the player who is playing the game pays attention to the display contents of the effect symbol display device 6 arranged at the center of the game board. Will be done.

  By configuring the game board 1 as described above, when a game ball is caused to flow down to the first game area 3a, the game ball enters the first starting port 11 (the first starting port switch 11a (see FIG. 3) is used for the game). When the ball is detected), the first special symbol (corresponding to the first special symbol of the present invention) starts to change in the first special symbol display device 9 and stops after a predetermined time.

  When a game ball flows down to the second game area 3b, the game ball flowing down the second game area 3b enters the normal symbol operation gate 17 (the normal symbol operation switch 17a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball). The ordinary symbol display device 7 starts the variation display of the ordinary symbol, and drives a later-described ordinary electric combination solenoid 12b (see FIG. 3) according to the mode of the ordinary symbol stopped after a predetermined time. When the ordinary electric combination solenoid 12b is driven, the door portion of the ordinary electric combination 16 is opened almost synchronously, and the ball enters the second starting port 12 (detection of the second starting port switch 12a (see FIG. 3)). Is configured to be possible. When a game ball enters the second starting port 12, the second special symbol (corresponding to the second special symbol of the present invention) starts to fluctuate on the second special symbol display device 10 and stops after a predetermined time.

  While the first special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a first special symbol) and the second special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a second special symbol) fluctuate, each special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a special symbol) is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6. ) Is displayed in association with the variation of the above. Further, the first special symbol and the second special symbol do not change at the same time, and only one of the changes is performed.

  In this embodiment, since the second special symbol is also provided with a hold storage, in such a case, the configuration may be such that the change of the second special symbol (judgment of success or failure) is given priority. In this case, the second special symbol is drawn immediately after the holding of the second special symbol occurs, so that it is not necessary to wait for the change of the first special symbol to be completed. Conversely, a change in the first special symbol may be prioritized. In that case, when the second special symbol fluctuates, the state of the first special symbol does not have a hold memory. Therefore, the fluctuation of the first special symbol is stably changed without interrupting the change only by the second special symbol. You can go.

  The first special winning opening solenoid 14b (see FIG. 3) or the second special winning opening solenoid 91b, which will be described later, is driven according to the mode in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol are confirmed and displayed. When the first special winning opening solenoid 14b is driven (at the time of a big hit game), the door member of the first special winning opening 14 is opened almost synchronously, and a game ball enters the first special winning opening 14 (first count). When the switch 14a (see FIG. 3) detects the game ball) and the second big winning opening solenoid 91b is driven (during small hitting game), the door member of the second big winning opening 91 is opened almost in synchronization. It is configured such that game balls can enter the second special winning opening 91 (the second count switch 91a (see FIG. 3) detects game balls).

  Since the second starting port 12, the first special winning port 14, and the second special winning port 91 composed of the ordinary electric accessory 16 are arranged in the second gaming area 3b (the right side of the center case 5), the gaming state is changed. When shifting to the open extended game state, shifting to the big hit game, shifting to the small hit game, the firing handle is adjusted so that all of the fired game balls reach the second game area 3b. .

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the distribution device 92. A warp exit 92a is provided on the upper inside of the sorting device 92, and all game balls that have entered the second big winning opening 91 flow into the sorting device 92 from the warp exit 92a. A pair of distribution blades 93 is provided below the warp outlet 92a, and operates when the second winning opening 91 is opened and closed.

  When game balls flow out of the warp outlet 92a when the distribution blade 93 is closed (FIG. 2A), the game balls do not enter the specific area 94 because they are guided to the loss opening 92b. When the game ball flows out of the warp exit 92a when the game ball is released (FIG. 2B), the ball enters a specific area 94 indicated by V. Therefore, by setting each time in the closed state of FIG. 7A and the open state of FIG. 7B and combining them alternately, the ball entry rate of the game balls into the specific area 94 can be set. Further, the setting can be made in combination with the opening / closing timing of the second special winning opening 91. Note that the game balls guided to the distribution device 92 are the game balls that have been detected by the second count switch 91a.

The effect symbol control device 82 is configured as a one-way communication circuit from the sub integrated control device 83 to the effect symbol control device 82.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation contents of the ball game machine. The ball game machine in the present embodiment is provided with an opening extension function for changing the activation timing and activation time of the ordinary electric accessory 16, and a normal probability and a high probability for the hit probability of the ordinary symbol. In this configuration, the hit probability becomes high at the same time as the opening extension function is activated.

  Specifically, when the opening extension function is not operated, the opening operation is performed once per 0.2 second with a probability of 1/100, and when the opening extension function is activated, a normal symbol is generated with a probability of 1 / 7.4. The normal electric accessory 16 is set to perform the opening operation for 6.0 seconds once per hit. Further, the variation patterns (variation times) of the first and second special symbols in the game state (open extension state) in which the opening extension function operates are the variation pattern selection table used in the game state when the opening extension function is not activated. The selection is made using a variation pattern selection table set so that the average variation time is shorter than the average variation time. As a result, the number of times the special symbol changes per unit time when the opening extension function is activated is configured to be greater than when the opening extension function is not activated (time saving state). It operates at the same time as the start and end.

  It should be noted that the time saving function does not include a probability varying function of varying the winning probability of the ordinary symbol to a high probability. It may be difficult to win the prize, and facilitate it when the opening extension function is activated. It is also conceivable to provide a plurality of normal symbol hitting games so as to easily win a prize to the normal electric accessory 16 even when the opening extension is not operated. Then, even when the opening extension is not operated, there is an opportunity to win a prize in the ordinary electric accessory 16, and it is possible to provide a gaming ability that can aim for a jackpot in a normal game.

  When the opening extension function is operated, the time saving function for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol (the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per unit time is increased) is also operated. Specifically, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol in the normal state when the opening extension function is not operated is set to 6.2 seconds, and the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol when the opening extension function is activated is set to 0.7 seconds. I have. As a result, when the opening extension function is activated, the number of times the normal symbol fluctuates per unit time is increased, and the trigger for operating the ordinary electric accessory is greatly increased. Therefore, the ball entry rate per unit time to the ordinary electric accessory increases, and the number of times the second special symbol fluctuates increases.

The jackpot probability of the ball game machine in this embodiment is 1/199, which is common to the first special figure and the second special figure, and does not have the probability changing function related to the special figure validity determination. The small hit probability is 198/199 in the second special map, and when the second special map changes (performs a special map right / wrong determination described later), the small hit is won with a high probability. When the small hit is won, the second big winning opening 91 performs the opening operation once for 6.0 seconds.
In addition, there is a case where it is described as a winning because there is no loss for both the big hit and the small hit. Even when only one of them is indicated, it may be described as winning.

  The winning probability in the specific area 94 when the small hitting game is performed becomes about 1/1 in the normal state and the time saving state due to the ball entry rate to the second large winning opening 91 and the operation of the sorting blade 93. It is set as follows. Therefore, the occurrence of the small hit can be brought into a state where the accessory big hit is substantially assured. In another embodiment, the probability of winning in the specific area 94 in the normal state may be set lower than in the time reduction state.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the number of time savings set. FIG. 5A shows the number of time savings set when the symbol hits in the first special figure. FIG. 5B shows the set number of time savings when the symbol hits in the second special figure. After transitioning to the time reduction state, the ballistic game machine ends the time reduction state if any one of Condition 1, Condition 2, and Condition 3 is satisfied.

  If the first special map is a big hit with the symbols 1 and 2 for 4 rounds (10/10 ratio), a big hit game in which the first special winning opening 14 opens 4 rounds (opening of a maximum of 29.0 seconds per round or 9 counts), and after the big hit game ends, the time saving state (open extension state) is set. In the case of a symbol hit in the first special figure, the ball game machine shifts to the time saving state, and then the first special figure fluctuates 99 times, the second special figure fluctuates once, the first special figure and In any case where the second special figure is changed 99 times in total, the time saving state is ended.

  If the second special map hits with 15 rounds with short symbols 1 and 2 (10/10 ratio), the first big winning opening 14 opens 15 rounds of big hits (1 round maximum opening 29.0 seconds or 9 counts), and after the big hit game ends, the time saving state (open extension state) is set. When the symbol special hit in the second special map, the ball game machine shifts to the time saving state, the first special map changes 99 times, the second special map changes 7 times, the first special map and In any case where the second special figure is changed 99 times in total, the time saving state is ended.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the number of time savings set when the small hit in the second special map changes to a large hit. The second special figure has 15 rounds, 13 rounds, 11 rounds, 9 rounds, 7 rounds, 5 rounds, 5 rounds and 3 rounds. When the game ball which has won the second big winning opening 91 enters the specific area 94 and a big hit occurs, the first big winning opening 14 becomes 15, 13, 11, 9, 9 A jackpot game (opening of up to 29.0 seconds per round or 9 counts) for opening rounds 7, 5, and 3 is performed, and after the jackpot game is completed, the time is reduced (extended open state). In this case, after the transition to the time saving state, the ball game machine changes the first special figure 99 times, changes the second special figure 7 times, and sets the first special figure and the second special figure to a total of 99 times. In any case where the number of times has been changed, the time reduction state is ended.

If the second special map has a small hit (with a ratio of 1/10) with a five-round short time pattern, the game ball that has won the second big winning opening 91 enters the specific area 94, and a special hit jackpot occurs. The first big winning opening 14 performs a big hit game in which five rounds are opened (opening of a maximum of 29.0 seconds per round or 9 counts). In this case, the game does not shift to the time saving state (open extended state) after the end of the big hit game. In addition, it may be five rounds including the opening at the time of the small hit, or may be five rounds without including it.
It should be noted that both the big hit game and the small hit game may be described as a winning game because the game uses the big winning port. The term “winning game” may be used to refer to only one of them.

  By setting the content of the time saving operation as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in a normal game (non-open extended state), a game ball is caused to flow down to the first game area 3a so that the ball enters the first starting port 11. The game proceeds mainly with the lottery of the first special figure based on the lottery. At the time of occurrence of the symbol big hit of the first special figure with a probability of 100%, the game shifts to the extended open state (time saving state) after the big hit game ends, and the lottery of the second special figure in which the game ball flows down to the second game area 3b is a main game. Becomes In the second special map, a small hit occurs with a high probability of 198/199, and the winning rate to the specific area 94 is about 1/1. I will do it. After the shift, the open extension state (time saving state) is continued with a probability of about 90%.

  However, since the jackpot rounds to be awarded are set widely from 3 to 15 rounds, it is interesting how to win a jackpot symbol with a large number of rounds to be awarded while maintaining the probable change state. In addition, in the symbol jackpot in the second special map, the probability change state is given 100% and the number of rounds given is all 15 rounds, so that the symbol jackpot in the extended open state is set to be unconditionally pleased. .

  FIGS. 5 and 6 show the details of the number of time savings set for each of the big hit and small hit symbols. Specifically, when the first special figure has a big hit with a symbol having a short time of four rounds, a setting is made in which the time saving (open extension) state is held until one of the three number of time conditions is satisfied. Specific conditions are (1) until the first special figure fluctuates up to 99 times, (2) until the second special figure fluctuates once, and (3) the first special figure and the second special figure in total. Up to 99 changes. In the case of a time-saving (extended opening) state, when a game ball is fired immediately toward the second game area 3b, the change of the first special figure is limited to only the first hold storage amount, and (2) When the condition is satisfied, the time-saving (open extension) state ends.

  Although it is originally desired to give only one rotation in the second special map, there is a case where the reserved storage of the first special map is left when the game shifts to the time saving state for the first time from the big hit in the normal game. In the case of the conventional time saving control, if an extremely short time saving of one time saving is given to the second special figure as in the present embodiment, the remaining time may be consumed by the reserved storage of the remaining first special figure. It is difficult to give one working time. Therefore, by providing the above-mentioned ending condition, even if the number of reserved memories remains in the first special figure, or if the game progresses at the first special figure starting port by mistake even when the time is reduced, from there, It is possible to reliably secure one time saving in the second special map. However, if the maximum number of times in the first special figure and the total number of times in the first special figure are too large, it may be more advantageous to perform the lottery in the first special figure as it is. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the advantage so as not to reverse. There is.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a main routine executed by main controller 80. The main routine is periodically executed by a hard interrupt every about 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process that is executed only once from S10 to S75 is referred to as “main process”, and the process of S80 that is repeatedly executed as long as time permits within the extra time after executing the main process is referred to as “main process”. This is referred to as “residual processing”. "This processing" is periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination processing is performed by determining whether the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the processing executed by the microcomputer shifts to this processing, the normal processing is executed. It is for determining whether or not it is OK. As a case where the interrupt is not a normal interrupt, a runaway of the microcomputer due to noise or the like can be considered when the power is turned on. However, the runaway of the microcomputer can be considered to be almost non-existent due to the improvement of the technology in recent years. When the power is turned on, the value of the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If a negative determination is made in S10, that is, if it is determined that the interrupt is not a normal interrupt (S10: no), initialization (for example, writing a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, and setting a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol, etc.) Is written to the work area (S15), and the process proceeds to a residual process (initial random number update process (S80)).

  If an affirmative determination is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), the initial value random number update processing (S20), the jackpot determination random number update processing (S25), the jackpot symbol determination random number 1 update processing (S30), and the jackpot symbol determination Random number 2 update processing (S35), small hit symbol determination random number update processing (S40), hit determination random number update processing (S45), reach determination random number update processing (S50), variation pattern determination random number update processing (S55) ) Is performed.

  In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S60), winning in the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, winning in the first winning opening 14, winning in the second winning opening 91, winning in the normal winning opening 31 and normal. The symbol operation gate 17, confirmation of a ball entering the specific area 94, and input processing of each switch provided in the ball game machine 50 and connected to the main controller 80 are executed. The winning (ball entry) confirmation process (start winning process) for each starting port and operating port will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Subsequently, a pass / fail determination process (S65), each output process such as an image output process (S70), and a fraud monitoring process (S75) are performed, and the initial random number is updated within the remaining time until the next interrupt signal is input. The process (S80) is looped.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the start winning process executed by the main control device 80. This processing is one of the subroutines of the winning confirmation processing (S60) shown in FIG. 7 (including the holding storage means, the prefetch determination means, the holding storage number transmitting means, and the winning signal transmitting means). Hereafter, the holding memory stored when a game ball enters the first starting port 11 is a first holding memory, and the holding memory stored when a game ball enters the second starting port 12 is a second holding memory. The storage that is stored when the game ball passes through the storage, usually the symbol operation gate 17, will be described as the general-purpose storage. In the present embodiment, the upper limit number of the first hold storage is four, the upper limit number of the second hold storage is four, and the upper limit number of the general-purpose hold storage is four.

  When the process is started, it is determined whether or not the first starting port switch 11a has detected a game ball (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), it is determined whether or not the first pending storage number already stored in the main control device 80 is less than the upper limit number (four in this embodiment) (S105). If the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), various random numbers (such as a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot symbol determination random number 1 and 2, a reach determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, and the like) such as a hit random number are extracted. It is stored in the storage area corresponding to the number of pending storages of the main controller 80 as one pending storage, and 1 is added to a first pending storage counter indicating the number of first pending storages (S110).

  Subsequent to S110, a pre-read determination of the stored first hold storage is performed (S115). Specifically, it is checked whether or not the value of the random number for jackpot determination is a value that causes a jackpot, and if it is a jackpot value, the type of the jackpot symbol is checked. If the big hit determination is lost, the type of the lost symbol is confirmed (prefetch determination means). Note that not only the big hit determination random numbers and symbols are used in the pre-reading determination, but also the fluctuation pattern determination random numbers that specify the fluctuation pattern and the reach determination random numbers that determine the presence or absence of the reach, etc. What is necessary is just to select the judgment object arbitrarily. If the variation pattern and the presence or absence of the reach are known, it is possible to suggest not only the success / failure but also the effect contents in advance. In addition, there is a game configuration in which the lost pattern is linked to the fluctuation content. In such a case, just determining the lost pattern can determine the presence / absence of the reach, the type, the presence / absence of the notice, the type, etc. Information can be obtained.

  Subsequently, a first look-ahead determination command is generated based on the look-ahead determination result in S115, transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S120), and a first hold indicating the value of the first hold storage counter added in S110. The number instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S125). In the present embodiment, the first pre-reading determination command and the first hold number instruction command are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as individual commands. A configuration for transmitting to the integrated control device 83 is also conceivable. In this case, the number of commands can be reduced.

  Subsequent to the processing of S125 or the negative determinations of S100 and S105 (S100: no, S105: no), it is determined whether or not the second starting port switch 12a has detected a game ball (S130). If the determination is negative (S130: no), the process proceeds to S160; if the determination is affirmative (S130: yes), whether the number of the second pending storages stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (four in the present embodiment). Is determined (S135). If a negative determination is made (S135: no), the process proceeds to S160, and if an affirmative determination is made (S135: yes), various random numbers such as a success / failure random number (a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number 1 and 2, a small hit symbol determination Random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers, etc.), and stores them in a storage area corresponding to the number of reserved storages of the main controller 80 as a second reserved storage. One is added to the hold storage counter (S140), and a pre-read determination of the stored second hold storage is performed in the same manner as in S115 (S145).

  Subsequently, a second prefetch determination command is generated based on the determination result of S145 and transmitted to the sub-integrated controller 83 (S150), and a second reservation number instruction command indicating the value of the second reservation storage counter added in S140. Is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 (S155), and the process proceeds to S160.

  In S160, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol operation switch 17a has detected a game ball (S160). If the determination is negative (S160: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination in S160 is affirmative (S160: yes), it is determined whether or not the number of ordinary drawings stored in the main controller 80 is less than the upper limit number (= 4) (S170). If the determination is negative (S170: no), the process returns to the return. If the determination is affirmative (S170: yes), the extracted random number for hit determination, random number for hit symbol determination, and random number for general symbol variation pattern determination are stored as general symbol pending storage. Then, 1 is added to the general-purpose reservation storage counter indicating the general-purpose reservation storage number (S175), and a general-purpose reservation storage number instruction command indicating the value of the added general-purpose reservation storage counter is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83. (S180), and returns.

  Upon receiving the first and second reserved storage number instruction commands, the sub-integrated control device 83 outputs an instruction signal for changing each reserved storage number displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 according to the retained storage number indicated by the received command. It is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82. Since the second special figure has a structure that is almost a small hit, the necessity of indicating the success or failure by using the effect symbol is low, and the necessity of displaying the number of reserved memories is low as compared with the first special figure. Therefore, it is not necessary to display the information. In such a case, a configuration without the second reserved storage number designation command may be considered.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number of reserved symbols is not normally displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, but may be displayed in response to the reception of a command for indicating the number of reserved symbols to be stored. The configuration may be such that the number instruction command itself is not transmitted. In addition, a configuration is also conceivable in which a pre-reading determination of a general figure is performed and the determination result is transmitted to the sub integrated control device.

  FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 are flowcharts showing the general-purpose right / wrong determination process executed by main controller 80. This process is a process corresponding to the general figure right / wrong determination of the present invention. When the present process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is operating (S200). If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process proceeds to a general electric game process described later, and a negative determination is made. If (S200: no), it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S205). If not (S205: no), it is determined whether or not the fixed symbol of the normal symbol is being displayed (S210). If the final display is not being performed (S210: no), it is determined whether or not there is an ordinary figure hold memory (S215). If the determination is negative (S215: no), the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

  If the determination in S215 is affirmative, that is, if there is a general-purpose reservation storage (S215: yes), a shift process of the general-purpose reservation storage to be determined is performed (S220). As a result, the oldest general-purpose reserved storage is set as a target of the validity determination, and 1 is subtracted from the general-purpose reserved storage counter indicating the number of reserved storages. When the shift processing of the general figure hold storage is performed, it is determined whether or not the probable change flag of the general figure is 0 (S221). If the determination is affirmative (S221: yes), the general figure determination is performed using the low probability determination table used in the normal state. A comparison process of random numbers for use is performed (S222), and if a negative determination is made (S221: no), a comparison process of random numbers for general diagram determination is performed using a high probability determination table used in a high probability (time saving state, open extension) state ( S223).

  Subsequent to S222 and S223, it is determined whether or not the comparison result is a hit (the same as the determination value) (S240). If the determination is affirmative (S240: yes), the determination is based on the value of the hit symbol determination random number to be determined. Then, a symbol selection process is performed for each symbol (S245). In the present embodiment, a plurality of symbols are provided per ordinary figure, but in any of the symbols, the opening state of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is a short opening of 0.2 seconds once in the normal state and 6.0 in the time reduction state. The release mode of the long release once per second is determined. Of course, a configuration in which a different opening mode is selected depending on the design may be adopted.

  For example, it is configured such that the normal figure determination is also performed during the normal game (the normal game operation gate is also provided in the first game area 3a), and the opening mode of the normal electric accessory 16 is set to the first opening (0. It is provided so as to determine whether it is a two-second opening (short opening once) or the second opening (one long opening 6.0 seconds), and only when the second opening is selected, can aim for a special hit during a normal game. "V chance". In this way, it is possible to attain a gaming property unique to the blender, which has a chance to win a symbol jackpot and a bonus hit from a normal game.

  Subsequently, a variation pattern selection table for selecting a variation pattern is determined with reference to the time reduction flag (S250), and a general figure variation pattern selection process is performed based on the random number for general pattern variation pattern determination (S255). Then, a process of starting the variation of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display device 7 based on the variation pattern is performed (S260), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

  The time-saving flag is a value stored in the main control device 80. If the value is 1, the fluctuation time of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol is reduced, and the time-saving state in which the opening extension function of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is activated ( Main controller 80 determines that the state is an open extension state, and if the value is 0, it is a non-time saving state (non-open extension state).

  If a negative determination is made in S240, that is, if the comparison result is out of order (S240: no), reference is made to the time saving flag (S250), and a general-purpose variation pattern selection process for outlier variation is performed (S255), and the selected outlier symbol and variation pattern are selected. Is performed to start the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol on the ordinary symbol display device 7 (S260), and the process proceeds to the ordinary electric game process.

  If the determination in S205 is affirmative, that is, if the ordinary symbol is changing (S205: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 10, and it is determined whether or not the variation time of the ordinary symbol (based on the variation pattern selected in S255) has elapsed. (S300). If the determination is negative (S300: no), the process proceeds to the general game process, and if the determination is affirmative (S300: yes), the general symbol that controls the normal symbol display device 7 to determine and display the ordinary symbol that is the result of determining whether or not the general symbol is accepted. A fixed symbol display process is performed (S305).

  Returning to FIG. 9, if the affirmative determination is made in S210, that is, if the display of the ordinary symbol is being confirmed (S210: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 11, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the confirmed symbol has elapsed (S350). If it is determined (S350: no), the process proceeds to the normal electric game process. If it is affirmative (S350: yes), the fixed symbol display of the ordinary symbol display device 7 is terminated (S355), and the process proceeds to the normal electric game process. The above is the general figure approval / disapproval determination processing executed by the main control device 80 in the present embodiment.

  FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 are flowcharts showing the ordinary electric game process executed by the main control device 80. This process is a process for controlling the operation of the ordinary electric accessory which is performed based on the hit determination in the normal figure hit determination process, and is a process including the operation determining means of the present invention.

  When this process is started, it is determined whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 16 serving as the second starting port 12 is in the opening operation (S400). If it is not in operation (S400: no), the ordinary symbol hits and the symbol is confirmed and displayed. It is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set (S410). If the determination is negative (S410: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S410: yes), it is determined whether the time saving flag is 0 (S415). If the determination is affirmative (S415: yes). Then, an operation start process of the ordinary electric accessory 16 in the normal gaming state is performed (S420), and an opening operation is performed once every 0.2 seconds. If a negative determination is made in S415, that is, if the opening extension function is operating in the time reduction state (S415: no), the operation starts in which the ordinary electric accessory 16 performs the opening operation (6.0 seconds once) in the opening extension state. The process is performed (S425) and the process returns.

  If the determination in S400 is affirmative, that is, if the ordinary electric accessory is operating (S400: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 13, and it is determined whether or not ten game balls have won the activated ordinary electric accessory 16 ( (S450), if a negative determination is made (S450: no), it is determined whether or not the operating time of the ordinary electric accessory 16 has ended (S455). If a negative determination is made (S455: no), the process returns. If a positive determination is made in S450 or S455 (S450: yes, S455: yes), the operation termination processing of the ordinary electric accessory 16 is performed (S460), and the process returns.

  FIGS. 14, 15 and 16 are flowcharts showing the special figure hit / fail determination processing executed by main controller 80. This processing is a determination of whether the first hold storage and the second hold storage are correct or not, and a change display time selection of the first special symbol or the second special symbol according to the result of the determination of the corresponding determination, a fixed symbol selection, a content setting of a big hit game, This is processing for setting the game state after the big hit game is completed, and includes the small hit determination means of the present invention.

  When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not the condition device is operating, that is, whether or not the special winning opening is operating (S500). If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process returns. If the determination is negative (S500: no), the process returns. It is determined whether the first or second special figure is changing (S505), and if it is not changing (505: no), it is determined whether the fixed symbol of the first or second special figure is being displayed. (S510), if the final display is not being performed (S510: no), it is determined whether or not there is the second hold storage (S515). If the determination is negative (S515: no), it is determined whether or not there is the first hold storage. If the determination is negative (S520: no), the process returns (S520: no), and if the determination is affirmative in S515 or S520 (S515: yes, S520: yes), the process proceeds to S525. According to the determination order of S515 and S520, the second suspension storage preferentially determines the success or failure.

  It is not necessary to limit the second hold storage to the configuration that performs the priority determination, and conversely, the first hold storage may be performed with priority or the hold may be performed in the order in which the storage is performed. If the first hold storage is preferentially executed, the first hold storage does not exist when the hit / fail judgment is performed in the second hold storage (the first hold storage is performed if the shooting is aimed at the second game area 3b). Since the time-saving game can be performed after the memory is not generated first), the time-saving game can be performed only by the second hold storage once the digestion is completed. In this embodiment, since the big hits in the first special map are all four round games, the game is more disadvantageous than the big hits from the big hits and the small hits in the second special figure. Therefore, there is no merit in performing the lottery in the first special map during the time reduction game.

  Also, in the case where the game is digested in the order of storage, only the first reservation memory exists when the time saving game is played for the first time. The game can be played. Incidentally, in the configuration in which the second hold memory is preferentially digested, the time saving game is started, and if the second hold memory is generated, the order of the right / wrong determination is immediately turned, so there is no need to wait for the first hold memory to be consumed. It becomes a game configuration.

  In S525, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is 0 (S525). If the determination is negative, that is, if the time reduction state and the open extension state are present (S525: no), the processing during the time reduction state is performed. The description is omitted because the selection table of the variation pattern to be selected differs only in accordance with the prior art and does not differ from the prior art.

  If the determination in S525 is affirmative, that is, if it is in the normal state (S525: yes), the shift processing of the hold storage is performed (S530). Thus, the first or second oldest storage (the oldest time has elapsed since the on-hold storage) is set as an object of the validity determination, and 1 is subtracted from the on-hold storage counter indicating the corresponding on-hold storage.

  In the big hit determination random number comparison process, the big hit determination random number in the hold storage, which is the target of the special figure hit determination, is compared with a predetermined hit determination table, and the value of the big hit determination random number is stored in the hit determination table. Are compared with each other (S535).

  In subsequent S540, it is determined whether or not the result of S535 is a big hit (same as the big hit determination value). If the determination is affirmative (S540: yes), a symbol mode setting process is performed (S545). In the symbol mode setting process, the content of the jackpot game and the game state after the end of the jackpot game (normal state, time reduction, open extended state) based on the jackpot symbol determination random number 1 in the first or second hold memory to be determined. Set the symbol mode to determine.

  Subsequently, a big hit symbol selection process is performed based on the set type of the symbol mode and the big hit symbol determining random number 2 (S550). This is a process of determining a jackpot symbol to be definitely displayed from the symbol groups set for each type of the symbol mode in order to notify the type of the jackpot game determined by the setting of the symbol mode by the jackpot symbol.

  Next, a mode buffer setting process is performed based on the symbol mode set in S545 (S555). The mode buffer is a device that stores the contents of the game state after the end of the big hit game determined at the time of the hit determination until the end of the big hit game in which the big hit game is set (a probability change flag for setting the game state during the big hit game, a time reduction flag). Needs to be cleared). The mode buffer does not store specific game contents, but stores a value corresponding to the specific game contents.

  Next, based on the symbol mode set in S545, the opening pattern setting processing of the first big winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S560), and the reach of the first or second hold storage as the target of the hit / fail determination is performed. A variation for selecting a variation pattern that is a variation time of a symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 and the effect symbol display device 6 based on the determination random number and the variation pattern determination random number. A pattern selection process is performed (S565).

  Subsequently, the information of the selected big hit symbol and the variation pattern is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 as a variation instruction command (S570). Based on the instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, the effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6, and based on the information of the big hit symbol and the variation pattern of the first or second special symbol. The effect fluctuation display of the pseudo symbol is started. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start changing the special symbol.

  If S540 makes a negative determination, that is, if a loss is made (S540: no), it is determined whether or not the result of the comparison processing in S535 is a small hit (S580). In this embodiment, the second special symbol is set to a high probability of 198/199 (almost every time a small hit is won). If the determination in S580 is affirmative (S580: yes), a small hit symbol is selected based on the gaming state and the random number for determining a small hit symbol (S585). The opening pattern setting processing of the two big winning openings 91 is performed (S560), and the above-described fluctuation pattern selection processing corresponding to the small hit symbol is performed (S565), and the fluctuation instruction command as the information of the small hit symbol and the fluctuation pattern is sub-integrated. The data is transmitted to the control device 83 (S570). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on an instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that receives this information, and corresponds to the first or second special figure based on the information of the small hit symbol and the variation pattern. Start the variable display of the rendered effect symbol. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start changing the special symbol.

  If a negative determination is made in S580 (S580: no), a lost symbol is selected (S590), and a variation pattern setting process corresponding to the lost symbol is performed (S565), and a variation instruction command serving as information on the symbol and the variation pattern relating to the lost symbol. Is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S570). The effect symbol control device 82 controls the effect symbol display device 6 based on the instruction from the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received this information, and starts the fluctuating display of the pseudo symbol based on the information on the lost symbol and the fluctuating pattern. At substantially the same time as the transmission to the sub integrated control device 83, the main control device 80 directly controls the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 to start changing the special symbol.

  Next, if a positive determination is made in S505, that is, if the special symbol is being changed (S505: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 15, and the special symbol change time (based on the change pattern selected in S565) has elapsed. It is determined whether or not (S600). If the determination is negative (S600: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S600: yes), a confirmation command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 to control the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10. Then, the fixed symbol selected in S550, S585 or S590 is fixedly displayed (S605). The sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the confirmation command transmits an instruction signal for confirming and displaying the pre-selected pseudo symbol to the effect symbol control device 82, and the effect symbol control device 82 generates an effect symbol display device in accordance with the signal. 6 to display the pseudo symbol. Thus, the start and end of the change of the first or second special symbol and the pseudo symbol are at the same timing (synchronized).

  Subsequent to S605, it is determined whether the first or second special symbol confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is a big hit symbol (S610). : Yes), the display setting processing of the fixed symbol (setting of the time to be displayed in the fixed symbol) is performed (S615), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is 1 (S620). If the affirmative determination is made (S620: yes), The time reduction flag is set to 0 (S625), and following the negative determination of S625 or S620 (S620: no), the condition device operation start process (S630) and the accessory continuous operation device operation start process (S635) Is performed, the big hit game is started, a big hit start effect instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S450), and the big hit flag is set to 1 (S643).

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in S610, that is, if the confirmed symbol is not a big hit (S610: no), the display setting process of the confirmed symbol (setting of the time for displaying the confirmed symbol) is performed (S650), and the time reduction flag is set to 1 (S655: yes), decrement from the time saving counter (S660), determine whether the time saving counter is 0 (S665), and if affirmative (S665: yes), reduce the time saving. The flag is set to 0 (S670). From S655 to S670, every time the special symbol performs the loss confirmation display according to the determination of success or failure, the time reduction counter for regulating the time reduction (open extension) state is counted, and the game state changes when these counters reach a predetermined value. (The time-saving (open extension) state ends and the state shifts to the normal state (normal open state)).

  Subsequently, if S670 or S655, S665 is a negative determination (S655: no, S665: no), it is determined whether or not the confirmed special symbol is a small hit symbol (S675), and if affirmative determination (S675: yes). ), A small hit game setting process is performed (S680). Subsequent to S680, the small hit flag is set to 1 (S698). Subsequent to the negative determination in S698, S643, or S675 (S675: no), a state designation command indicating a game state based on the result of the above processing is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S645), and the process returns.

  Returning to FIG. 14, if a positive determination is made in S510, that is, if the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S510: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 16, and it is determined whether or not the confirmed symbol display time has elapsed (S700). (S700: no) Return, if affirmative determination (S700: yes), finalized symbol display end processing (S705) is performed, and the first special symbol display device 9 or the second special symbol display device 10 is controlled to display the special symbol. The confirmation display is terminated, and the sub-integrated control device 83 is instructed to terminate the confirmation display of the pseudo symbol.

  17 to 23 are explanatory diagrams showing the special game processing executed by the main control device 80. When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not the value of the big hit flag is 0 (S800). If the determination is affirmative (S800: yes), it is determined whether the value of the small hit flag is 0 (S805). If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), the process returns. If the determination is negative, that is, if the small hitting game is being performed (S805: no), the process proceeds to S850 in FIG.

  In S850, it is determined whether or not a small hit start interval is in progress (S850). If a negative determination is made (S850: no), it is determined whether or not the second special winning opening 91 is being opened (S855). If a negative determination is made (S855: no), it is determined whether or not the specific area 94 is valid (a period during which the accessory continuous operating device operates when a game ball is detected) (S860). If a negative determination is made (S860: no), it is determined whether or not a small hit end effect is being produced (S865). If the determination is affirmative (S865: yes), it is determined whether the small hit end effect end time has elapsed (S870). If the determination is affirmative (S870: yes), the operation of the condition device is terminated, the small hit flag is set to 0 (S875), and the routine returns. Also, when S870 makes a negative determination (S870: no), the process returns similarly. If a negative determination is made in S865 (S865: no), a small hit start interval start process is performed (S895), a small hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated controller 83, and the routine returns.

  If the determination in S850 is affirmative (S850: yes), it is determined whether or not the small hit start interval time has ended (S880). If the determination is affirmative (S880: yes), the second large winning opening 91 is opened (S885), and the specific area 94 is activated (S890). After the processing of S890 or if S880 is negative (S880: no), the process returns.

  If S855 is affirmative, that is, if the second special winning opening 91 is open (S855: yes), the process proceeds to S900 of FIG. 19, and it is determined whether or not the number of winnings in the second special winning opening 91 is less than 10 (S900). If the determination is affirmative (S900: yes), it is determined whether the opening time of the second special winning opening 91 has expired (S905). If S905 is affirmative (S905: yes) or S900 is negative (S900: no), the second big winning opening 91 is closed (S910) and the process returns.

  If a negative determination is made in S905 (S905: no), the process proceeds to S950 in FIG. 20, and it is determined whether or not the specific area switch 94a has detected a game ball (S950). If the determination is negative (S950: no), it is determined whether the specific area activation period has ended (S1015), and if the determination is affirmative (S1015: yes), a small hit end effect process is performed (S1020). In the small hit end effect processing, a small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. On the side of the sub-integrated control device 83 that has received the small hit end command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82 (contents for notifying that the small hit game has ended without the occurrence of the big hit of the role). Is displayed. If a negative determination is made (S1015: no), the process returns.

  If S950 is affirmatively determined, that is, if the game ball has entered the specific area 94 (S950: yes), an operation start process of the accessory continuous operation device is performed (S955), and whether or not the second special winning opening 91 is open. It is determined (S960). If the determination is affirmative (S960: yes), the second big winning opening 91 closing process is performed (S965). In the present embodiment, the second special winning opening 91 is closed immediately after the ball enters the specific area 94. However, the closing process may be performed after the specified winning number or the specified opening time is completed. By doing so, there is an opportunity to obtain a prize ball in the second special winning opening 91 even a little.

  After S965, or if S960 is negative (S960: no), the small hit symbol is referred to (S970), and based on the type of the referred symbol, the content of the big hit game and the game state after the end of the big hit game (normal state) (S975), and a mode buffer setting process (common to S555) is performed based on the set symbol mode (S980), and based on the symbol mode set in S975. Then, an opening pattern setting process of the first big winning opening 14 which is the content of the big hit game is performed (S985), a specific area invalidating process is performed (S990), and a big hit start effect instruction command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 ( (S1000), 1 is set to the big hit flag (S1005), and it shifts to the special hit jackpot (special game). Subsequent to S1005 and S1020, the small hit flag is set to 1 (S1010) and the routine returns. The process up to here is the processing configuration related to the small hit game.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 17, if the determination in S800 is negative, that is, if the big hit flag is set (S800: no), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 21, and it is determined whether or not the first special winning opening 14 is open (S1050). If the determination is negative (S1050: no), it is determined whether or not it is during the opening interval (S1055). If a negative determination is made (S1055: no), it is determined whether or not a big hit end effect is being produced (S1060). If a negative determination is made (S1060: no), it is determined whether or not a big hit start effect is being made (S1065). Yes), it is determined whether or not the jackpot start effect time has elapsed (S1070). If the determination is negative (S1070: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1070: yes), the opening process of the first big winning opening 14 is performed. (S1075) Return.

  If a positive determination is made in S1055 (S1055: yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has ended (S1085). If a negative determination is made (S1085: no), the process returns. 14 (S1090), and returns.

  If a negative determination is made in S1065 (S1065: no), a jackpot start effect process is performed (S1080), and the process returns. In the big hit start effect process (S1080), a big hit start command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83.

  If S1050 is affirmative (S1050: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 22, and it is determined whether or not the winning in the first big winning opening 14 satisfies a specified number of nine (S1100), and if negative, it is (S1100). : No), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 has ended (S1105). If the determination is negative (S1105: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1105: yes) or if the determination is affirmative (S1100: no), the closing process of the first winning port 14 is performed (S1110), and the end of the big hit game It is determined whether or not the round has ended (S1115). If the determination is affirmative (S1115: yes), a jackpot end effect process is performed (S1120), and if the determination is negative (S1115: no), the interval process during opening is performed (S1125), and the process returns.

  In the big hit end rendering process (S1120), a big hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and in the opening interval process (S1125), an interval command is similarly sent to the sub integrated control device 83. On the side of the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the big hit end command or the interval command, the effect is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 under the control of the effect symbol control device 82.

  Returning to FIG. 21, if S1060 is an affirmative determination, that is, if the big hit end effect is being performed (S1060: yes), the process proceeds to the flowchart of FIG. 23, and it is determined whether or not it is the big hit end effect end time (S1150). (S1150: no) Return. If S1150 is affirmatively determined (S1150: yes), the accessory continuous operation device stop processing (S1155), the condition device operation stop processing (S1160) are performed, and the set mode buffer is referred to (S1165). Based on the content of the time saving flag and the time saving counter, which will be described later, the probable change flag and the probable change counter of the general figure are set (S1166, S1167), and the time reduction flag and the time reduction counter are set (S1170, S1175). , Clears the mode buffer (S1180), transmits an end command and a state designation command for instructing the game state after the end of the big hit game to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1185, S1190), and sets the big hit flag to 0. (S1195), and returns.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a pending number instruction command receiving process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. When this processing is started, it is determined whether or not a hold number instruction command has been received (S1200). If the determination is negative (S1200: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1200: yes), the process returns according to the type of the hold number instruction command received by the first hold number counter or the second hold counter provided in the sub integrated control device 83. The value is incremented by one (S1205), and a reservation number display signal is transmitted to the effect symbol control device 82 (S1210), and the process returns. The value of the pending number counter is decremented each time a fluctuation instruction command is received in a fluctuation instruction command receiving process described later. Thereby, the same number as the number of pending storages stored in main controller 80 is constantly managed.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing a change instruction command receiving process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. In this processing, in response to receiving the fluctuation instruction command based on the processing of S570 from the main control device 80, the effect mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected, and the effect symbol control device 82 is instructed to perform display control. Processing.

  When the process is started, it is determined whether a change instruction command has been received (S1250). If the determination is negative (S1250: no), the process returns. If the determination is affirmative (S1250: yes), distribution random numbers are extracted (S1255). Based on the instruction command and the value of the distribution random number extracted in S1255, the effect variation mode to be displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 is selected from among the effect variation modes provided in the sub-integrated control device 83 (S1260). An instruction signal to start displaying the effect variation mode is transmitted to effect symbol control device 82 (S1265), and the process returns.

  The ball game machine of the present embodiment includes a gaming board 1, a first starting port 11, a second starting port 12, a variable winning device, a first holding storage unit, a first winning / failing determining unit, A first big hit game control means, a first privilege game control means, a second holding storage means, a second success / failure judgment means, a small hit game control means, a second big hit game control means, A second bonus game control means and a final related effect setting means are provided.

  The game board 1 has a first game area 3a in which game balls fired at a first firing intensity flow down, and a second game in which game balls fired at a second firing intensity higher than the first firing intensity flow down. Region 3b. The first starting port 11 is provided in the first game area 3a, and is configured to allow game balls to enter. The second starting port 12 is provided in the second game area 3b, and is configured to allow game balls to enter. The variable electric winning device configured to be able to switch between a first state in which it is difficult for game balls to enter the second starting port 12 and a second state in which it is difficult to enter the second starting port 12 in accordance with the result of the lottery of the ordinary symbols. It is.

  The main control device 80 functions as a first holding storage unit that stores, as the holding memory, the random number value based on the ball entering the first starting port 11 in the extracted random number holding storage process (step S110). In the big hit determination random number comparison process (steps S535 and S540), the main control device 80 uses the first special symbol to display a big hit based on the random number value stored in the first holding storage means. It functions as a first success / failure determination unit that determines the result of the lottery.

  In the special game process (FIGS. 21 and 22), when the lottery result by the first hit determination unit is a big hit, the main control device 80 notifies the big hit by a variable display using the first special symbol, It functions as a first big hit game control means for executing a first big hit game that opens and closes the first big winning opening 14 provided in the second game area 3b so as to be able to enter a ball. In the normal electric game process (FIGS. 12 and 13), the main control device 80 changes the game state following the end of the first big hit game from the normal game state to the second game state until the predetermined condition is satisfied. It functions as the first privilege game control means for setting the first privilege game state in which the ratio of the state is high.

  The main control device 80 functions as a second holding storage unit that stores, as the holding memory, the random number value based on the ball entering the second starting port 12 in the extracted random number holding memory processing (step S140). In the big hit determination random number comparison process (steps S535 and S580), main controller 80 uses the second special symbol to display a small display based on the random number value stored in the second holding storage means. It functions as a second hit determination unit that determines the lottery result of winning or not.

  In the special game process (FIG. 18, FIG. 19 and FIG. 20), when the lottery result by the second success / failure determination means is a small hit, the main control device 80 changes the small hit by the variable display using the second special symbol. After the notification, it functions as a small hitting game control unit that executes a small hitting game that opens and closes the second large winning opening 91 provided in the second game area 3b so that the ball can enter. In the special game process (FIG. 20) and the special game process (FIGS. 21 and 22), the main control device 80 sets the game ball that has entered the second large winning opening 91 in the small hitting game to the second large winning opening 91. When the vehicle passes through a specific area 94 provided inside the game, it functions as a second big hit game control unit that executes a second big hit game that opens and closes the first big winning opening 14 so that it can enter the ball. In the normal electric game process (FIGS. 12 and 13), the main control device 80 changes the game state following the end of the second big hit game from the normal game state to the second game state until the predetermined condition is satisfied. It functions as the second privilege game control means for setting the second privilege game state in which the ratio of the state is high.

  In the fluctuation pattern selection process (step S565), the main control device 80 displays the final fluctuation using the second special symbol in each of the first privilege game state and the second privilege game state (time saving final fluctuation). Function as final related effect setting means for setting a final related effect which is an effect related to the second related storage effect based on the number of hold storages stored in the second hold storage means. In the present embodiment, the final related effect is an effect that has a variable time according to the number of hold storages stored in the second hold storage unit. The final related effect is an effect that is synchronized with the final change display. According to the performance shown in FIG. 5, in the first bonus game state, the final related effect is performed in the first variation display of the second special symbol, and in the second bonus game state, the final related effect is: This will be performed in the seventh variation display of the second special symbol.

  In this embodiment, the ball-and-ball game machine further includes a prefetch determination unit. The main control device 80 functions as a prefetch determination unit that prefetches the lottery result of the hold storage stored in the second hold storage unit in the prefetch determination process (step S145). Note that the prefetch determination means may have a configuration in which the random number value stored in the hold storage means is determined in advance, or a configuration in which the random number value acquired at the time of winning in the starting port is determined in advance as it is. Alternatively, a configuration may be used in which the storage is performed separately from the storage for the pre-reading determination, or any configuration that has the same effect as these configurations may be used. In any of the configurations, the effect regarding the propriety can be executed before the judgment on the propriety, so that various effects can be performed. In the variation pattern selection process (step S565), the main control device 80 determines the final association based on the number of hold storages stored in the second hold storage unit and the lottery result prefetched by the prefetch determination unit. It functions as final related effect setting means for setting the effect.

  FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern selection table at the time of the final reduction of the working hours. In the embodiment, the time-saving final change is the first time-variable change in the second special figure in the case of the time-saving game after the symbol special hit in the first special figure, and the time-saving game change after the symbol special hit in the second special figure. In the case, it is the seventh variation of the second special figure, and in the case of a time-saving game after the small hit of the second special figure has changed to the big hit, the variation is the seventh variation of the second special figure. The main control device 80 refers to FIG. 26 in the variation pattern selection process (step S565) for selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the time-saving final variation, thereby obtaining the second reserved storage relating to the second special figure remaining at that time. The final related effect is set based on the number of (remaining pending).

  In general, the variable production is performed by determining the content of the production at the time of starting the fluctuation, and the situation of four suspensions is unlikely to occur. After the preceding change is completed, main controller 80 executes a pass / fail judgment on the oldest hold storage, and at that time, the hold storage is erased. After that, the main control device 80 instructs the sub-integrated control device 83 of the fluctuation pattern, and thus the maximum number of the reserved storages is three, which is one. Therefore, in the case of the above configuration, the configuration may be such that the final related effect is set within a range of up to three reservations.

  On the other hand, unlike the above-described configuration, the sub-integrated control device 83 starts the fluctuating effect according to the instruction of the fluctuating pattern, but does not determine the effect content until a predetermined time, and after a predetermined time elapses (the effect content setting standby period). If the configuration is such that the effect content is determined by referring to the number of pending memories in ()), the final related effect can be set for up to four pending memories.

  Regardless of the configuration, an effect with a higher probability of winning notification should be made as compared to the case of performing a fluctuating effect based on one lottery result, in order to perform an effect related to the success / failure including the result of the remaining suspension. Can be.

  Main controller 80 sets one variation pattern among four variation patterns P1 to P4 as the final related effect based on the number of remaining suspensions. The variation time Tm of the variation pattern P1 is 35 seconds. The variation time Tm of the variation pattern P2 is 45 seconds. The variation time Tm of the variation pattern P3 is 60 seconds. The variation time Tm of the variation pattern P4 is 60 seconds. The number of patterns of the variation pattern selected as the final related effect is not limited to four and may be two or more. The fluctuation time Tm of each fluctuation pattern can be set as appropriate according to the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the second special figure corresponding to the remaining suspension.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is 0 or 1, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P1 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining reservations is two, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P2 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is three, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P3 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is four, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P4 as the last related effect.

  In this embodiment, the variation time is set as a difference between the variation patterns. However, since the possibility of a small hit during the final related effect increases as the number of holdings increases, the degree of expectation is increased accordingly. The effect may be set as a difference. In this case, for example, even if the fluctuation pattern P1 has the same fluctuation time as the fluctuation pattern P4, it is possible to set effects with different expectations.

  Further, the variation pattern selection processing has been described as the processing of the main controller 80, but may be the processing of the sub-integrated controller 83. In this case, the sub-integrated control device 83 sets an effect mode as the final related effect according to the number of remaining suspensions, in accordance with the fluctuation time set by the main control device 80. This makes it possible to improve the degree of expectation of a big hit or a small hit depending on which effect content is selected even if there is no change in the fluctuation time, and to change the performance output. The same effect as the process by main controller 80 can be achieved by the process of 83.

  FIG. 27 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the effect contents and the fluctuation of the second special figure. When the lottery result of the time-saving final change is a loss and there is a remaining reservation, a change display (remaining-reservation change) of the second special figure corresponding to the remaining reservation is carried out subsequent to the time-saving final change. If the lottery result of the remaining reservation change is a failure and there is a subsequent remaining reservation, the subsequent remaining reservation change is performed. The variation time Tm of the final savings variation is set according to the variation pattern set as the final related effect. The fluctuation time Tr of the remaining suspension fluctuation is shorter than the fluctuation time Tm of the time-saving final fluctuation, and is 0.4 seconds in the present embodiment. Therefore, even if the fluctuation corresponding to the remaining reservation is started, the remaining reservation is consumed almost without being noticed by the player. It should be noted that the variation time of the second special figure in the normal gaming state may be uniformly set to 0.4 seconds, or only the variation time of the second special figure held and stored in the time saving state may be uniformly set to 0.1 second. The configuration may be set to 4 seconds. The former method is simpler in processing because the fluctuation time is set according to the gaming state at the time of fluctuation. As shown in FIG. 4, the winning probability of the normal figure in the normal game state is 1/100, and therefore, the second special figure hardly fluctuates in the normal game state except for the remaining reservation.

  If the lottery result of the time-saving final change is lost and there is remaining suspension, the final production screen that is displayed last in the last related production is continuously displayed in the subsequent remaining suspension fluctuation (continuous display). ). Thereafter, if the lottery result of the remaining pending change is a failure and there is a further subsequent remaining reserve, the final effect screen is continuously displayed in the further subsequent remaining pending change (continuous display). . In the present embodiment, in the variation pattern selection process (Step S565) for selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the time-saving final variation, the main controller 80 determines the remaining reservation lottery result based on the pre-read determination process (Step S145). When a big hit or a small hit is included, the final effect screen displayed last in the final related effect is set to be a screen indicating a big hit or a small hit.

  If the lottery result of the time-saving final change is a big hit or a small hit, the subsequent remaining holding change is not executed, and after the end of the time-saving final change, the big hit game or the small hit game is executed. When the lottery result of the remaining reserved fluctuation is a big hit or a small hit, the subsequent remaining reserved fluctuation is not performed, and after the remaining reserved fluctuation ends, the big hit game or the small hit game is performed. In the example of FIG. 27, the lottery results of the final reduction in time savings and the first to third times of the remaining pending changes are all lost, and the lottery results of the fourth remaining pending change are either a big hit, a small hit, or a lost. is there.

  28 and 29 are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of the final related effect. The screen 210 in FIG. 28A is a screen showing the fluctuation pattern P1. The fluctuation pattern P1 is an effect in which the hero “Tatsuyoshi” challenges the destruction of rock as a “training zone” of “Tatsuyoshi chance” which is one of the effect modes. In the upper right part of the screen 210, a first effect symbol 310s, a second effect symbol 320s, and a third effect symbol 330s are variably displayed as effect symbols corresponding to the second special figure.

  The screen 216 of FIG. 28B is a final effect screen displayed last in the fluctuation pattern P1 when both lottery results of the time saving final fluctuation and the remaining suspension fluctuation are lost. The screen 216 is a screen that suggests a loss by displaying a state in which the protagonist has failed to destroy the rock. In the upper right part of the screen 216, an effect symbol indicating loss is definitely displayed by the first effect symbol 310s, the second effect symbol 320s, and the third effect symbol 330s.

  A screen 218 in FIG. 28C is a final effect screen displayed last in the fluctuation pattern P1 when the lottery result of either the time-saving final fluctuation or the remaining reserved fluctuation is a big hit or a small hit. The screen 218 is a screen indicating a big hit or a small hit by displaying a state in which the hero succeeded in breaking the rock. In the example of FIG. 28C, an effect symbol indicating a small hit is definitely displayed in the upper right portion of the screen 218 by the first effect symbol 310s, the second effect symbol 320s, and the third effect symbol 330s.

  The screen 220 in FIG. 29A is a screen showing the fluctuation pattern P2. The fluctuation pattern P2 is an effect that displays a state in which the main character “Tatsuyoshi” confronts a rival with karate as a “Karate zone” of “Tachiyoshi chance” which is one of the effect modes. In the upper right part of the screen 220, a first effect symbol 310s, a second effect symbol 320s, and a third effect symbol 330s are variably displayed as effect symbols corresponding to the second special figure. At the right center of the screen 220, a hold display section 360 for displaying the number of remaining holds is provided. In other embodiments, screen 220 may not have hold display 360. Also in the variation pattern P2, similarly to the variation pattern P1, when both lottery results of the time saving final variation and the remaining reserved variation are losing, the final character suggesting the losing is displayed by displaying a state in which the protagonist defeats the rival. When the production screen is displayed and the lottery result of either the final time change or the remaining pending change is a big hit or a small hit, the final character suggesting a big hit or a small hit by displaying the hero's victory over the rival is displayed. The production screen is displayed.

  The screen 230 in FIG. 29B is a screen showing the fluctuation pattern P3. The fluctuation pattern P3 is an effect in which the character “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi” challenges the hugging of the character “V” as the “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi zone” of “Tatsuyoshi chance” which is one of the effect modes. In the lower right part of the screen 230, a first effect symbol 310s, a second effect symbol 320s, and a third effect symbol 330s are variably displayed as effect symbols corresponding to the second special figure. In the upper right part of the screen 230, a hold display section 360 for displaying the number of remaining holds is provided. In other embodiments, screen 230 may not have hold display 360. Also in the variation pattern P3, similarly to the variation pattern P1, when both lottery results of the time saving final variation and the remaining reserved variation are lost, it is assumed that "Tatsuyoshi Kumano" fails to hug the "V". The final production screen that suggests the loss by displaying is displayed, and if either lottery result of the time saving final change or the remaining pending change is a big hit or a small hit, “Kuma no Tatsuyoshi” is changed to “V”. A final effect screen indicating a big hit or a small hit is displayed by displaying a state of successful hugging.

The screen 240 in FIG. 29C is a screen showing the fluctuation pattern P4. The fluctuation pattern P4 is an effect that displays a state in which the main character “Tatsuyoshi” confronts a rival in boxing as a “boxing zone” of “Tatsuyoshi chance” which is one of the effect modes. In the lower right part of the screen 240, a first effect symbol 310s, a second effect symbol 320s, and a third effect symbol 330s are variably displayed as effect symbols corresponding to the second special figure. At the right center of the screen 240, a hold display section 360 for displaying the number of remaining holds is provided. In other embodiments, screen 240 may not have hold display 360. Also in the variation pattern P4, similarly to the variation pattern P1, when both lottery results of the time saving final variation and the remaining reserved variation are losing, the final character suggesting the losing is displayed by displaying a state in which the hero is defeated by rivals. When the production screen is displayed and the lottery result of either the final time change or the remaining pending change is a big hit or a small hit, the final character suggesting a big hit or a small hit by displaying the hero's victory over the rival is displayed. The production screen is displayed.
It is also conceivable that the effect mode is made different depending on whether the big hit or the small hit is in the final reduction of the working hours or in the remaining reserved fluctuation. Even if the fluctuation pattern P4 is the same, if there is a big hit or a small hit in the final time saving change, select the "Kuma no Tatsuyoshi zone". Suggests that if "Boxing Zone" is selected as the production mode, the expectation of big hits or small hits is high for the four holdings, and one change is higher than the target "Kuma no Tatsuyoshi Zone" can do. As described above, it is possible to change the effect mode depending on the position of the big hit or the small hit even with the same fluctuation pattern.

  According to the first embodiment described above, as the number of remaining reserves increases, the chance of winning a small hit in the second special symbol increases. Therefore, by setting the final related effect based on the number of remaining reserves, The degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game immediately before the end of the gaming state can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect. As a result, in the one-type and two-type mixing machine, the interest in the game immediately before the privilege game state ends can be improved.

  In addition, since the final related effect is an effect that has a variable time according to the number of remaining holds, the degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to a small hit game is determined by the variation of the final related effect according to the number of remaining holds. Time can tell the player.

  In addition, since the final related effect is an effect synchronized with the time saving final change, when the time saving final change is carried out, it is shifted to the small hit game by the change display of the second special symbol including the change display based on the remaining reservation. The degree of expectation of whether or not to perform can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect.

  In addition, in order to set the final related effect based on the number of remaining holds and the lottery result read in advance, just before the bonus game state ends, the lottery result based on the second special symbol based on the remaining hold is considered. The degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect.

B. Second Embodiment The ball and ball game machine of the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a final related effect is set based on the number of remaining holds and the number of winnings included in the remaining holds, and that the types of the variation patterns are different. This is the same as the first embodiment.

  FIG. 30 is an explanatory diagram showing a fluctuation pattern selection table at the time of the final reduction of the working hours in the second embodiment. In the embodiment, the time-saving final change is the first time-variable change in the second special figure in the case of the time-saving game after the symbol special hit in the first special figure, and the time-saving game change after the symbol special hit in the second special figure. In the case, it is the seventh variation of the second special figure, and in the case of a time-saving game after the small hit of the second special figure has changed to the big hit, the variation is the seventh variation of the second special figure. In the variation pattern selection process (step S565), the main control device 80 determines the final association based on the number of hold storages stored in the second hold storage unit and the lottery result prefetched by the prefetch determination unit. Set the production.

  Main controller 80 sets one variation pattern among the six variation patterns P1 to P6 as the final relevant effect based on the number of remaining reservations and the number of winnings in the time saving final variation and the remaining reservation variation. Four variation patterns P1 to P4 in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. The fluctuation times Tm of the fluctuation patterns P5 and P6 are each 60 seconds. The number of patterns of the variation pattern selected as the final related effect is not limited to six, but may be two or more. The fluctuation time Tm of each fluctuation pattern can be set as appropriate according to the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the second special figure corresponding to the remaining suspension.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is 0 and the number of winnings is 0, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P1 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is one and the number of winnings is zero, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P1 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is 0 and the number of winnings is 1, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P1 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is two and the number of winnings is zero, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P2 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is two and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P2 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is three and the number of winnings is zero, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P3 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is three and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P3 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is four and the number of winnings is zero, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P4 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is one and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P5 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is one and the number of winnings is two, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P5 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is two and the number of winnings is two, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P5 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining reservations is three and the number of winnings is two, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P5 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is four and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P5 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining suspensions is four and the number of winnings is two, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P5 as the last related effect. Therefore, the fluctuation pattern P5 is an effect indicating that the winning of the big hit or the small hit is confirmed. In addition, when the number of remaining suspensions is other than four, the fluctuation pattern P5 is an effect indicating that the winning of the big hit or the small hit is included twice.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is two and the number of winnings is three or more, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P6 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining reservations is three and the number of winnings is three or more, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P6 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining reservations is four and the number of winnings is three or more, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P6 as the last related effect. Therefore, the fluctuation pattern P6 is an effect indicating that the winning of the big hit or the small hit is included three times or more.

  FIG. 31 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a final related effect in the second embodiment. The screen 250 in FIG. 31A is a screen showing the fluctuation pattern P5. The variation pattern P5 is an effect in which the main character “Tatsuyoshi” searches for a boss as a “search zone” of “Tatsuyoshi chance” which is one of the effect modes.

In the upper right part of the screen 250, a hold display section 360 for displaying the number of remaining holds is provided. In other embodiments, screen 250 may not have hold display 360. In the present embodiment, in the fluctuation pattern P5, the lottery result of either the time-saving final fluctuation or the remaining reserved fluctuation is a big hit or a small hit, and the final effect indicating the big hit or the small hit by displaying the hero finding the boss is displayed. The screen is displayed.

  The screen 260 in FIG. 31B is a screen showing the fluctuation pattern P6. The fluctuation pattern P6 is an effect in which a cat character is displayed as a “premier zone” of “Tatsuyoshi Chance” which is one of the effect modes. In the lower right part of the screen 260, a first effect symbol 310s, a second effect symbol 320s, and a third effect symbol 330s are variably displayed as effect symbols corresponding to the second special figure. At the right center of the screen 250, a hold display section 360 that displays the number of remaining holds is provided. In other embodiments, screen 250 may not have hold display 360. In the present embodiment, in the fluctuation pattern P6, a final effect screen is displayed that indicates that the winning of the big hit or the small hit is included three or more times in the time saving final fluctuation and the remaining reserved fluctuation.

  According to the second embodiment described above, similar to the first embodiment, the larger the number of remaining reserves, the more chances of winning a small hit in the second special symbol, so that the final association based on the number of remaining reserves By setting the effect, the degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game immediately before the end of the privilege game state can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect. In addition, in order to set the final related effect based on the number of remaining reservations and the number of winnings, which is a pre-read lottery result, the bonus game state is set in consideration of the lottery result of the second special symbol based on the remaining reservation. Is expected to be transferred to the small hitting game immediately before the game ends, to the player through the final related effect.

C. Third Embodiment The ball game machine of the third embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that the final related effect is not set in the final reduction in time saving but the final related effect is set in the first remaining pending change after the end of the final reduction in time saving. Except for this, the third embodiment is the same as the first embodiment. In the third embodiment, the final related effect is an effect synchronized with the variable display using the second special symbol following the final variable display in the time-saving game.

  FIG. 32 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern selection table of the first remaining suspension variation following the end of the time saving final variation in the third embodiment. The main controller 80 refers to FIG. 32 in the variation pattern selection process (step S565) for selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the first remaining suspension variation, and based on the number of remaining suspensions at that time, the final association Set the production.

  Main controller 80 sets one variation pattern among four variation patterns P1 to P4 as the final related effect based on the number of remaining suspensions. Four variation patterns P1 to P4 in the third embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. The number of patterns of the variation pattern selected as the final related effect is not limited to four and may be two or more. The fluctuation time Tm of each fluctuation pattern can be set as appropriate according to the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the second special figure corresponding to the remaining suspension.

  When the number of remaining holds excluding the first remaining hold is 0, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P1 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining holds other than the first remaining hold is one, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P2 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining holds other than the first remaining hold is two, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P3 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining holds other than the first remaining hold is three, main controller 80 sets variation pattern P4 as the last related effect.

  FIG. 33 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the effect contents and the fluctuation of the second special figure in the third embodiment. If the lottery result of the time-saving final change is a loss and there is a remaining reservation, the first remaining change is executed following the final reduction of the time-saving. If the lottery result of the first remaining suspension change is a loss and a subsequent remaining suspension exists, the subsequent remaining suspension fluctuation is performed. The fluctuation time Tm of the first remaining suspension fluctuation is set according to the fluctuation pattern set as the final related effect. The fluctuation time Tr of the remaining suspension fluctuation is shorter than the fluctuation time Tm of the first remaining suspension fluctuation, and is 0.4 second in the present embodiment. As a setting method of the fluctuation pattern, a method of selecting a special fluctuation pattern when the time is reduced when the starting opening is awarded and the normal state is set when the fluctuation starts is considered. By referring to the game state at the time of starting opening prize and at the start of fluctuation, it can be treated as remaining suspension.

  In the final effect screen displayed last in the first remaining pending change, if the lottery result of the first remaining pending change is wrong, and there is remaining pending, the final production screen is continued in the subsequent remaining pending change. Displayed (continuous display). After that, if the lottery result of the remaining hold change is a failure and there is a subsequent remaining hold, the final effect screen is continuously displayed in the subsequent remaining hold change (continuous display). In the present embodiment, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the remaining suspension is to be performed based on the prefetch determination process (step S145) in the variation pattern selection process (step S565) for selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the first remaining suspension variation. When the lottery result includes a big hit or a small hit, the final effect screen displayed last in the final related effect is set to be a screen indicating a big hit or a small hit.

  If the lottery result of the first remaining holding change is a big hit or a small hit, the subsequent remaining holding change is not performed, and after the first remaining holding change, the big hit game or the small hit game is executed. If the lottery result of the subsequent remaining reservation change is a big hit or a small hit, no further subsequent remaining reservation change is executed, and after the remaining reservation change ends, a big hit game or a small hit game is executed. In the example of FIG. 33, the lottery results of the first to third times of the remaining pending changes are all losing, and the lottery results of the fourth time of the remaining pending changes are any of the big hit, the small hit, and the losing.

  According to the third embodiment described above, as in the first embodiment, the greater the number of remaining reservations, the greater the chance of a small hit in the second special symbol. By setting the effect, the degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game immediately before the end of the privilege game state can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect. In addition, since the final related effect is an effect synchronized with the first remaining change in the time reduction game following the last change display in the time reduction game, the remaining hold change following the final change display in the time reduction game is performed. Thus, the degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect.

D. Fourth Embodiment The ball and ball game machine of the fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the final related effect is not set in the final time change, but the final related effect is set in the entire remaining reservation after the end of the time change.

  FIG. 34 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern selection table of the entire remaining reservation following the end of the time saving final variation in the fourth embodiment. The main control device 80 refers to FIG. 34 in the variation pattern selection process (step S565) for selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the first remaining suspension variation, and based on the number of remaining suspensions at that time, the final association. Set the production.

  Main controller 80 sets one variation pattern among four variation patterns S1 to S4 as the final related effect based on the number of remaining suspensions. The variation time Tm of the variation pattern S1 is 0.4 seconds. The variation time Tm of the variation pattern S2 is 0.8 seconds. The fluctuation time Tm of the fluctuation pattern S3 is 1.2 seconds. The variation time Tm of the variation pattern S4 is 1.6 seconds. The number of patterns of the variation pattern selected as the final related effect is not limited to four and may be two or more. The fluctuation time Tm of each fluctuation pattern can be set as appropriate according to the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the second special figure corresponding to the remaining suspension.

  When the number of remaining holds other than the first remaining hold is 0, main controller 80 sets variation pattern S1 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining holds excluding the first remaining hold is one, main controller 80 sets variation pattern S2 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining holds other than the first remaining hold is two, main controller 80 sets variation pattern S3 as the last related effect. When the number of remaining holds excluding the first remaining hold is three, main controller 80 sets variation pattern S4 as the last related effect.

  FIG. 35 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the effect contents and the fluctuation of the second special figure in the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, when the lottery result of the time-saving final change is a loss, after displaying the loss in the time-saving final change, the result display by the big hit and the small hit that has been continued through the time saving game and the remaining hold is performed. After that, the result display is continuously displayed until the next variable display is performed (continuous display).

  If there is any remaining reservation after the time saving final change, the remaining reserved change is executed following the time saving final change. If the lottery result of the remaining reservation change is a failure and there is a subsequent remaining reservation, the subsequent remaining reservation change is performed. The fluctuation time Tm of the entire remaining suspension fluctuation is set according to the fluctuation pattern set as the final related effect. The fluctuation time Tr of one remaining suspension fluctuation is shorter than the fluctuation time of the final reduction in the working hours, and is 0.4 seconds in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the remaining suspension is to be performed based on the prefetch determination process (step S145) in the variation pattern selection process (step S565) for selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the first remaining suspension variation. When the lottery result includes a big hit or a small hit, the final effect screen displayed last in the final related effect is set to be a screen indicating a big hit or a small hit.

  If the lottery result of the time-saving final change is a big hit or a small hit, the subsequent remaining holding change is not executed, and after the end of the time-saving final change, the big hit game or the small hit game is executed. When the lottery result of the remaining reserved fluctuation is a big hit or a small hit, the subsequent remaining reserved fluctuation is not performed, and after the remaining reserved fluctuation ends, the big hit game or the small hit game is performed. In the example of FIG. 35, the lottery results of the final reduction in the working hours and the first to third times of the remaining pending changes are all lost, and the lottery results of the fourth remaining pending change are either the big hit, the small hit, or the lost. is there.

  FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a final related effect in the fourth embodiment. A screen 400 in FIG. 36A is an example of a screen showing a result display displayed in the final change of the working hours. When the lottery result of the remaining hold following the final reduction of the working hours is a loss, the screen 400 is continuously displayed in each variation pattern of the remaining hold effect that is the last related effect. The screen 400 suggests that one of the effect modes, “Tachiyoshi Chance”, will be terminated, and the number of consecutive big hits and small hits that have been continued through the time saving game and the remaining hold, and will be continued through the time saving game and the remaining hold. The total winnings in the big hit and the small hit are displayed as the game results. In the upper right part of the screen 400, a first effect symbol 310s, a second effect symbol 320s, and a third effect symbol 330s are variably displayed as effect symbols corresponding to the second special figure. The screen 410 in FIG. 36 (b) is a screen that is continuously displayed on the screen 400 in the fluctuation pattern S1 when the lottery result of the remaining suspension fluctuation is a big hit or a small hit.

  FIG. 38 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a final related effect in the fourth embodiment. The screen 400 in FIG. 38A is the same as the screen 400 in FIG. The screen 430 in FIG. 38B is a screen that is continuously displayed on the screen 400 in the fluctuation patterns S3 and S4 when the lottery result of the remaining suspension fluctuation is a big hit or a small hit. The screen 430 is the same as the screen 400 except that an image that prompts the player to repeatedly hit the game switch 67a is displayed. A screen 434 of FIG. 38C is a screen that is displayed continuously from the screen 430 in the fluctuation patterns S3 and S4 when the lottery result of the remaining suspension fluctuation is a big hit or a small hit. The screen 434 is a screen indicating that the “Tachiyoshi Chance” will continue when the hero breaks through the result display on the screen 400 and appears. In the present embodiment, the main controller 80 sets the fluctuation pattern and exemplifies the final related effect displayed according to the set fluctuation pattern. However, the sub-integrated controller is not set by the fluctuation pattern. 83 may be a configuration for setting the display content of the last related effect. In this case, the sub-integrated control device 83 refers to the number of pending storages sent from the main control device 80 and the content of the pre-reading determination in the suspension, thereby producing an effect equivalent to the configuration set by the main control device 80 in the variation pattern. Can be performed.

  According to the fourth embodiment described above, as in the first embodiment, the chance of a small hit in the second special symbol increases as the number of remaining reservations increases. By setting the effect, the degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game immediately before the end of the privilege game state can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect. In addition, since the final related effect is an effect that is synchronized with the entire remaining hold fluctuation following the final change display in the time-saving game, when performing the remaining hold change following the final fluctuation display in the time-saving game, the remaining hold The degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect.

E. FIG. Fifth Embodiment A ball game machine according to a fifth embodiment is different from the fifth embodiment in that the final related effect is set based on the number of remaining holds and the number of winnings included in the remaining holds, and that the types of the variation patterns are different. This is the same as the third embodiment.

  FIG. 39 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern selection table of the first remaining suspension variation following the end of the time saving final variation in the fifth embodiment. The main controller 80 refers to FIG. 39 in the change pattern selection process (step S565) for selecting the change pattern corresponding to the first remaining hold change, and by referring to FIG. A final related effect is set based on the lottery result read in advance by the determining means.

  Main controller 80 sets one variation pattern from among five variation patterns P1 to P5 as the final related effect based on the number of remaining suspensions and the number of winnings in the remaining suspension variation. The five variation patterns P1 to P5 in the fifth embodiment are the same as in the second embodiment. The number of patterns of the variation pattern selected as the final related effect is not limited to five, but may be two or more. The fluctuation time Tm of each fluctuation pattern can be set as appropriate according to the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the second special figure corresponding to the remaining suspension.

  When the number of remaining reservations is 0 to 1 and the number of winnings is 1, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P1 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is two and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P2 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is three and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P3 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is one to three and the number of winnings is two, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P4 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is two or three and the number of winnings is three or more, main controller 80 sets variable pattern P5 as the last related effect.

  According to the fifth embodiment described above, as in the third embodiment, the greater the number of remaining reserves, the greater the chance of winning a small hit in the second special symbol. By setting the effect, the degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game immediately before the end of the privilege game state can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect. In addition, since the final related effect is an effect synchronized with the first remaining change in the time reduction game following the last change display in the time reduction game, the remaining hold change following the final change display in the time reduction game is performed. Thus, the degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect. In addition, in order to set the final related effect based on the number of remaining reservations and the number of winnings, which is a pre-read lottery result, the bonus game state is set in consideration of the lottery result of the second special symbol based on the remaining reservation. Is expected to be transferred to the small hitting game immediately before the game ends, to the player through the final related effect. Although the configuration in which the content of the final related effect is set by setting the fluctuation pattern by the main control device 80 is illustrated, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines the content of the final related effect based on the information of the number of reserved storages and the information of the look-ahead determination. The same effect can be achieved with a configuration in which

F. Sixth Embodiment A ball game machine according to a sixth embodiment is different from the ball game machine according to the sixth embodiment in that a final related effect is set based on the number of remaining holdings and the number of winnings included in the remaining holdings, and that a type of a variation pattern is different. This is the same as the fourth embodiment.

  FIG. 40 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern selection table of the entire remaining reservation following the end of the time saving final variation in the sixth embodiment. The main control device 80 refers to FIG. 40 in the variation pattern selection process (step S565) for selecting the variation pattern corresponding to the first remaining variation, and the number of remaining reservations at that time and the prefetching A final related effect is set based on the lottery result read in advance by the determining means.

  Main controller 80 sets one variation pattern among the five variation patterns T1 to T5 as the final relevant effect based on the number of remaining suspensions and the number of winnings in the remaining suspension variation. The five variation patterns T1 to T5 in the sixth embodiment are effect patterns based on the variation patterns S1 to S4 in the fourth embodiment. The number of patterns of the variation pattern selected as the final related effect is not limited to five, but may be two or more. The fluctuation time Tm of each fluctuation pattern can be set as appropriate according to the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the second special figure corresponding to the remaining suspension.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is 0 to 1 and the number of winnings is 1, main controller 80 sets variation pattern T1 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is two and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variation pattern T2 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is three and the number of winnings is one, main controller 80 sets variation pattern T3 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is one to three and the number of winnings is two, main controller 80 sets variation pattern T4 as the last related effect.

  When the number of remaining suspensions is two or three and the number of winnings is three or more, main controller 80 sets variation pattern T5 as the last related effect.

  According to the sixth embodiment described above, similar to the fourth embodiment, the greater the number of remaining reserves, the greater the chance of winning a small hit in the second special symbol. By setting the effect, it is possible to inform the player of the expectation degree of whether or not to shift to the small hit game immediately before the privilege game state ends, through the final related effect. In addition, since the final related effect is an effect that is synchronized with the entire remaining hold fluctuation following the final change display in the time-saving game, when performing the remaining hold change following the final fluctuation display in the time-saving game, the remaining hold The degree of expectation of whether or not to shift to the small hit game can be transmitted to the player through the final related effect. In addition, in order to set the final related effect based on the number of remaining reservations and the number of winnings, which is a pre-read lottery result, the bonus game state is set in consideration of the lottery result of the second special symbol based on the remaining reservation. Is expected to be transferred to the small hitting game immediately before the game ends, to the player through the final related effect. Although the configuration in which the content of the final related effect is set by setting the fluctuation pattern by the main control device 80 is illustrated, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines the content of the final related effect based on the information of the number of reserved storages and the information of the look-ahead determination. The same effect can be achieved with a configuration in which
