Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine and the like (hereinafter, also referred to as a ball game machine).

  In the conventional ball game machine, due to the entry of the game ball into the starting opening, the numerical data (random number) is obtained, and based on the numerical data, it is judged whether or not there is a change in the special symbol. If the result is a big hit, it is common to execute a big hit game in which the big winning opening is opened for a long time.

  Further, in the ball game machine, in the hit determination based on the numerical data caused by the entry of the game ball into the starting opening, if it is judged as a big hit, the big hit game is executed and it is judged as a small hit. There is a game that executes a small hit game with a smaller number of prize balls than the big hit game.

  Furthermore, recent ball game machines are provided with a first special symbol and a second special symbol, which is small in the judgment of success or failure due to the entry of the game ball into the starting opening corresponding to the second special symbol. A small hit game can be generated with a high probability by setting a high probability of being determined as a hit, and a small hit is frequently generated by shortening the variation time of the second special symbol after the end of the big hit game. There are some that shift to a state in which winning prize balls is advantageous.

  With the structure of such a ball game machine, it is a big hit game that is determined to be a big hit by a hit determination based on numerical data extracted when a game ball enters the starting opening as in the conventional case. A new gameplay different from the gameplay of the ball-and-ball game machine for winning a prize ball can be exhibited.

When it is displayed, a small hit game executing means for executing a small hit game that opens and closes the special winning opening, and a probability of being judged as a big hit by the hit determination means after the end of the big hit game from a normal game state. The probability variation means that can also improve, and the opening extension means that can extend the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors after the end of the big hit game than the normal time, The game area is provided with a first game area and a second game area in which the game balls can be separated by adjusting the firing strength, and flows down to the first game area from the game balls flowing down the second game area. The first starting opening is arranged at a position where the game ball that has entered is easier to enter, and the game ball that has flowed into the second game region is easier to enter than the game ball that has flowed down the first game region. The second starting opening is arranged at a position, and even if one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is changing, the other special symbol can be changed. In the machine, the probability of being judged as a small hit in the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening is determined to be a loss in the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening. And the probability that the opening extension means and the A first specific state in which the rate varying means operates, or the opening extending means is inactive and can shift to a second specific state in which the probability varying means operates, and an average of the second special symbol in the second specific state. The variation time is made shorter than the average variation time of the first special symbol, and at least in the first specific state, the big hit executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol. The probability of transitioning to the first specific state after the end of the game is more than the probability of transitioning to the second specific state after the end of the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol. High, at least in the second specific state, the probability of transitioning to the second specific state after the end of the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol is the first Characterized in that set to be higher than the probability of transition to the second specific state after the end of the jackpot gaming that is executed when the big hit symbol is determined displayed in a different pattern.

  To determine whether or not to win a game ball into the first start opening or the second start opening means obtaining a random number when winning the first start opening or the second start opening, and using the random number It is to make a judgment. It may be configured to have a first holding storage function of storing a predetermined number of random numbers acquired at the time of winning a prize in the first starting opening. Further, it may or may not be provided with a hold storage function of storing a predetermined number of random numbers acquired at the time of winning at the second starting opening.

  Even if the small hit game is executed, it is preferable not to change the game state of the ball game machine (the state in which the probability varying means is operating, the state in which the opening extension means is operating, etc.).

  It is assumed that the first starting opening A and the first starting opening B according to claim 1 are arranged in the first game area.

  The bullet game machine according to claim 1, the probability variation means is inactive after the jackpot game is over and the opening extension means is activated, or the probability variation means is inactive and the opening extension means is There may be a transition to an inactive state.

The ball game machine according to claim 1, for example, comprises a first special winning opening as a special winning opening and a second special winning opening having a specific area, and the probability varying means is a game ball in the specific area. It is also possible to improve the probability of being judged as a big hit by the hit determination means after the end of the big hit game based on the entry. In addition, as the opening pattern of the second big winning opening, it is assumed that an opening pattern that makes it easy for the game ball to enter the specific area and an opening pattern that makes it difficult for the game ball to enter the specific area.
In the ball game machine configured as described above, when an opening pattern that facilitates the entrance of the game ball into the specific area is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening, the opening is performed according to the opening pattern. On the assumption that the game ball that has entered the second special winning opening enters the specific area, the probability of shifting to the first specific state and the second specific state after the end of the big hit game is required.

  The present invention according to claim 2, in the ball game machine according to claim 1, the jackpot game executed when the jackpot pattern is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol is the second special symbol. It is a big hit game having a higher game value for the player than the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed.

  The big hit game executed by the big hit game executing means is configured to execute a round game for opening and closing the special winning opening a plurality of times. In that case, the big hit game having a high game value for the player is, for example, a big hit game in which the number of executions of the average round game during the big hit game executed by the big hit game execution means is large. Further, the big hit game having a high game value for the player may be, for example, a big hit game in which the probability variation means is highly likely to operate after the big hit game is finished.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the ball game machine according to the first or second aspect, the first special winning opening and the second special winning opening provided with a specific area are provided as the special winning openings. ,, the probability changing means, based on the entrance of the specific area, to improve the probability of being judged as a big hit by the hit determination means after the end of the big hit game, is confirmed and displayed with the special symbol Also provided is an opening pattern setting means for setting an opening pattern of the second special winning opening based on the big hit symbol, and as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening, it becomes easy to enter a ball into the specific area. 1 opening pattern and a second opening pattern in which it is difficult to enter the specific area are provided, and the opening pattern setting means is more than the case where the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed with the second special symbol. In front of the first special symbol Better when the big hit symbol is determined display, and wherein the probability of setting the first opening pattern as an open pattern of the second special winning opening is high.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the ball game machine according to the first or second aspect, the first special winning opening and the second special winning opening provided with a specific area are provided as the special winning openings. ,, the probability changing means, based on the entrance of the specific area, to improve the probability of being judged as a big hit by the hit determination means after the end of the big hit game, is confirmed and displayed with the special symbol Also provided is an opening pattern setting means for setting an opening pattern of the second special winning opening based on the big hit symbol, and as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening, it becomes easy to enter a ball into the specific area. 1 opening pattern and a second opening pattern in which it is difficult to enter the specific area are provided, and the opening pattern setting means is more than the case where the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol. In front of the second special design Better when the big hit symbol is determined display, and wherein the probability of setting the first opening pattern as an open pattern of the second special winning opening is high.

  In the ball game machine according to claim 3 or claim 4, the small hitting is executed by the small hitting game execution means when the small hitting judgment is determined by the winning / disagreement determining means and the small hitting symbol is definitely displayed as a special symbol. In the game, only one of the first special winning opening and the second special winning opening is opened and closed.

  The opening pattern of the second special winning opening described in claim 3 or 4 is not limited to the first opening pattern and the second opening pattern, and may be configured to have other opening patterns. For example, it is conceivable to provide a third opening pattern that makes it more difficult to enter the specific area than the first opening pattern, but easier to enter the specific area than the second opening pattern.

  The present invention according to claim 5 is, in the ball game machine according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the number of times of change display of the special symbol during operation of the probability changing means is predetermined. The operation of the probability varying means is continued until the number of times is reached, and the predetermined number of times when the probability varying means is operated after the end of the big hit game is the game ball to the first starting opening. It is the same number of times regardless of whether it is determined as a big hit by the hit determination based on the entry of the ball, or whether it is determined as a big hit by the determination of the hit based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening. To do.

According to the ball game machine according to claim 1, at least in the first specific state, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, the big hit game is executed after the end of the big hit game. Since the probability of transition is high, it becomes a game that is likely to be continuously judged as a big hit by the hit judgment based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening, but once the big hit game is over, the game moves to the second specific state, The small hitting game can occur with a high probability because the probability of being judged as a small hit is high in the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening, and the variation time of the second special symbol in the second specific state. As a result, the second specific state becomes a state in which a small hit game is likely to occur frequently, which makes it possible for the player to have a more advantageous state than when the opening extension means operates.
Furthermore, at least in the second specific state because the probability of transitioning to the second specific state is high after the end of the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, the first special symbol once After the jackpot game based on the jackpot pattern confirmed and displayed, the second special state is entered, and then the opening extension means is activated after the jackpot game that is executed when the jackpot pattern is finally displayed with the second special symbol. Since it is possible to create a state that is difficult to play, it is possible to shift to a state where it is possible to create a situation in which a small hit game is likely to occur frequently, and it is possible to exhibit a new game characteristic that has not existed in the past.

  According to the ball-ball game machine according to claim 2, when the probability variation means and the opening extension means are in operation, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is a big hit, based on whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting opening. It can be judged whether or not it is a big hit that can be judged among the big hits judged by the hit judgment based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening, and with the second special symbol Since the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed has a lower gaming value than the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed with the first special symbol, the probability varying means is open during operation. When the extension means is not in operation, the game performance such as how small can be determined before it is determined as a big hit by the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening Can be divided .

  According to the ball game machine according to claim 3, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol, the big hit symbol is definitely displayed with the second special symbol during the big hit game. Since the probability that the first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second big winning opening to be opened is high, the probability that the probability varying means continues to operate becomes high, and for example, entering a game ball into the first starting opening. It is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged even if the big hit determined by the hit determination based on it is not the big hit that does not shift to the second specific state after the big hit game is over.

  According to the ball game machine according to claim 4, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the second special symbol, the big hit symbol is definitely displayed with the first special symbol during the big hit game. Since the probability that the first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second big winning opening to be opened is high, the probability that the probability varying means continues to operate is high, and based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening. It is possible to drive the player's motivation for the game by giving a feeling of wanting to win the big hit that shifts to the second specific state after the big hit game is finished by the hit determination.

  According to the ball game machine according to claim 5, since the operation of the probability varying means continues until the number of times the variable display of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number of times, in the case of the first specific state, It is possible to demonstrate the game play of whether the big hit can be drawn early before the number of times the variable display of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number of times, and in the second specific state, the small hit game is played as often as possible. While it is generated, it is possible to demonstrate the game play whether the big hit can be drawn with the number of times the variable display of the special symbol is close to the predetermined number, so the opening extension means operates after the big hit game ends. It is possible to make a remarkable difference in game play depending on whether or not to play.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 has a determination whether or not the first special symbol is due to the ball entering the first starting port A11 or the first starting port B12, and the second special symbol is due to entering the second starting port 69. The hit determination is executed, and the hit determination of the first special symbol and the hit determination of the second special symbol can be executed at the same time. Depending on whether or not it is true or false, the symbol variation of the first special symbol display device 9, the second special symbol display device 10 and the effect symbol display device 6 is started based on the determined variation time. After that, the variation time of the first or second special symbol has passed, and when the confirmed symbol of the first or second special symbol is displayed on the first or second special symbol display device 9, 10, the effect symbol display The effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol, or the effect symbol 1007 corresponding to the second special symbol is fixedly displayed on the device 6 and the result of the hit determination of the first or second special symbol is notified. In this embodiment, of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, even if one special symbol is changing, the other special symbol is also variable.
When the result of the hit determination of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is a big hit, the accessory continuous operation device operates by operating the condition device, and the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 91 are prizes. A big-hit game (special game) is executed in a predetermined mode that is advantageous for obtaining a ball.

  On the other hand, when the result of the hit determination of the second special symbol is a small hit, the small hit game in which the second special winning opening 91 is opened due to this is executed. In addition, in the present embodiment, since it is not determined as a small hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol, the result of the hit determination of the first special symbol is a small hit and the small hit game is executed. Absent.

  In this embodiment, it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, the big hit game is executed when the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol. In that case, after the jackpot game is over, the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and open extended state), the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extended state), or the third specific state (low-probability gaming state) And open extension state). In addition, it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, the big hit game is executed when the second special symbol is confirmed and displayed as a big hit symbol. In that case, it is possible to shift to the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) or the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) after the end of the big hit game. As a game state of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment, there is a fourth specific state (a low probability game state and a non-open extended state) other than the first specific state, the second specific state and the third specific state.

  Here, the high-probability gaming state refers to a state in which a probability varying function that improves the probability of being judged as a big hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol and the hit determination of the second special symbol operates, and a low-probability gaming state. Indicates that the probability variation function is not operating. In addition, the open extension state (time saving state) refers to the state in which the time saving function that extends the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory (open extension function) and shortens the average fluctuation time of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol is activated. The non-open extension state is a state in which the extension function and the time saving function are not operating.

The basic specifications of the pachinko machine 50 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
Low probability game state (probability of winning in big hit lottery is a normal state) in the first special symbol and the second special symbol jackpot probability is 1/300, in the high probability game state of the first special symbol and second special symbol The jackpot probability is set to 1/30. The small hit probability of the second special symbol is set to 1 / 1.01, and in the hit determination of the second special symbol, it is determined to be a small hit. In addition, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is not set.

  The number of prize balls by entering the first starting opening A11, the first starting opening B12, and the second starting opening 69 is three. In addition, the number of prize balls to the other winning openings (first left winning opening 31, second left winning opening 32, third left winning opening 33, or fourth left winning opening 34) is 10, the first big winning opening 14 The number of prize balls to is 12. The number of prize balls to the second big winning hole 91 is 12. The specified number of prizes to the first special winning opening 14 is 10, and the specified number of prizes to the second special winning opening 91 is 8.

  The normal symbol winning probability is 1/300 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extension state (when the extension function is not activated), and is 1 / 1.0101 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the extension state (when the extension function is activated). The opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is once every 0.2 seconds when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extension state (when the extension function is not activated). In the extended extension state (when the extended extension function is activated), it is once every 3.0 seconds.

Next, with reference to FIG. 25, the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol determined in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
First, the variation time of the lost symbol in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
In the first specific state (high-probability game state and extended extension state), if the lost symbol is determined based on the suspension of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds. In the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), if the lost symbol is determined based on the suspension of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.
Further, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the suspension of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds. . In the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), if the lost symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to 0.3 seconds to 1.5 seconds. .
In the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the suspension of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 3.0 seconds. In the third specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), if the lost symbol is determined based on the suspension of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.
In the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-release extension state), when the lost symbol is determined based on the suspension of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 180 seconds. In the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), if the lost symbol is determined based on the suspension of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes.

Next, the variation time of the small hit symbol in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
In the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), or the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), the second When the small hit symbol is determined based on the holding of the special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 10 minutes. In the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), if the small hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is 0.3 seconds to 1.5 seconds. It is determined.
In addition, since it is not determined as a small hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, the variation time until the small hit symbol is fixedly displayed in the first special symbol is not determined.

Next, the variation time of the big hit symbol in each gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will be described.
In the first specific state (high-probability game state and extended extension state), when the jackpot symbol is determined based on the suspension of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds. In the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.
In the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds. In the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), when the jackpot symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.
In the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the suspension of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds. In the third specific state (low-probability game state and opening extension state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.
In the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the first special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 180 seconds. In the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), when the big hit symbol is determined based on the hold of the second special symbol, the variation time is determined to be 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.

The opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91 will be described with reference to FIG.
The big hit game of this embodiment includes a big hit game in which the maximum number of rounds is set to 4 rounds, a big hit game in 8 rounds, and a big hit game in 16 rounds. In any big hit game in which the maximum number of rounds is set, the second special winning opening 91 is opened in the second round, and the first special winning opening 14 is opened in the other rounds. It should be noted that a probability variation opening 94 is provided in the second big winning opening 91. If it is possible to enter the probability variation opening 94, it is possible to shift to the high-probability game state after the jackpot game is over.
As an opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91 of the present embodiment, the first opening pattern that allows easy entry of the game ball into the probability variation opening 94 in the second round during the big hit game, and the second round during the big hit game. It is provided with a second opening pattern in which it is difficult for game balls to enter the probability variation opening 94.

The big hit game in which the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the first opening pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
In the two rounds in which the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the first opening pattern, the second special winning opening 91 is opened once for a maximum opening time of 30 seconds.
When 3 seconds have elapsed since the second special winning opening 91 started opening, the distribution blade accessory 93 in the second special winning opening 91 is opened, and is opened for a maximum of 5 seconds. When the distribution blade accessory 93 is opened, it is possible to enter the game ball into the probability variation port 94. When the maximum opening time of the distribution blade accessory 93 elapses or when a game ball is detected by the probability variation opening SW94a, the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed.
The prescribed number of the second special winning opening 91 is eight, and the opening of the second special winning opening 91 based on the first opening pattern is set to the maximum opening time of 30 seconds, and therefore, toward the right game area R. If the game ball is normally fired, the game ball flowing down the right game area R enters the second big winning opening 91, and the game ball entering the second big winning opening 91 moves to the certainty opening 94. After entering the ball, after the big hit game is over, the game goes to a high probability game state.
When the number of game balls that have entered the second special winning opening 91 reaches a prescribed number (8) or the opening time of the second special winning opening 91 exceeds 30 seconds, the second special winning opening 91 closes. Then, the second round is over.

The big hit game in which the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
During the second round in which the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern, the second special winning opening 91 is opened for 0.1 seconds, then closed for 7.9 seconds, and then again up to 29. The opening is performed for 9 seconds. When 3 seconds have elapsed after starting the opening of the second special winning opening 91 for 0.1 seconds, the distribution blade accessory 93 in the second special winning opening 91 is opened for a maximum of 5 seconds. When the maximum opening time of the distribution blade accessory 93 elapses or when a game ball is detected by the probability variation opening SW94a, the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed.
Since the first opening time of the second special winning opening 91 is 0.1 seconds, the game ball launched from the launching device 64 is inserted into the second special winning opening 91 at the first opening. It is difficult to make a ball, and even if a ball is entered, it is the timing when the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed.
Further, even when the second special winning opening 91 is opened for the second time, the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed. When the number of game balls that have entered the second special winning opening 91 reaches a prescribed number (8) or the opening time of the second special winning opening 91 exceeds 30 seconds, the second special winning opening 91 closes. Then, the second round is over.

Since the opening time of the second special winning opening 91 based on the first opening pattern and the opening time of the distribution blade role object 93 overlap, the game ball entered in the second special winning opening 91 enters the probability variation opening 94. It becomes easy to make a ball. As a result, there is a high possibility that the game will shift to the high-probability game state after the jackpot game is over.
However, in the case of opening the second special winning opening 91 based on the second opening pattern, it is difficult to enter the game ball into the second special winning opening 91 because the opening time of the first time is as short as 0.1 seconds. Is becoming Even if a game ball can be entered, since the distribution blade accessory 93 is being closed, it is guided to the losing mouth 92b. Even if the second special winning opening 91 is opened for the second time, since the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed, it flows down the route arranged on the back of the game board and is guided to the probability variation setting device 92. The game ball discharged from the discharge port 92a is guided to the loss port 92b. Therefore, when the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91 is set to the second opening pattern, there is a high possibility that the high-probability game state is not transitioned to after the big hit game ends.

The big hit game executed according to the big hit design of the first special symbol of the present embodiment, the big hit game of 16 rounds or the big hit game of 8 rounds is executed, and the big hit executed according to the big hit design of the second special design. The game is a four-round jackpot game.
In the present embodiment, the second big winning opening 91 is opened in the second round in any of the big hit games consisting of the above-described three maximum round numbers, but it is not particularly limited, The second big winning opening 91 may be opened by the number of rounds.

Here, the jackpot pattern of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
In addition, even if the first opening pattern is selected as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91, if the gaming ball does not enter the certainty variation opening 94, such as by not firing the gaming ball, a big hit. Although it does not shift to the high-probability game state after the game ends, in the present embodiment, when the first opening pattern is selected as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91, it is changed to the positive variation opening 94 in the second round during the big hit game. It is assumed that a game ball enters and shifts to a high probability game state. Even if the first opening pattern is selected as the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91, if the game ball does not enter the certainty variation opening 94 in the second round, shift to the high-probability game state. Instead, only 100 times are saved.
The table of FIG. 23 (a) shows the types of big hit symbols of the first special symbol, the contents of the big hit game, and the types of opening patterns of the second special winning opening 91.
If it is determined as a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the first special symbol is any of symbols 1 to 11, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, A round game for opening the second big winning opening 91) is performed 16 times. The first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any one of the symbols 1 to 11, the opening of the second special winning opening 91 based on the first opening pattern is performed (see FIG. 24 (a)), and the probability variation mouth When a game ball is entered in 94, it shifts to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the jackpot game is over. The number of probability changes and the number of shortening times are set to 10000 times.

If it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the first special symbol is the symbol 12 or the symbol 13, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, second big winning) Play round game 8 times to open mouth 91). The first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on the design 12 or the design 13, the second special winning opening 91 based on the second opening pattern is opened (see FIG. 24 (a)), and the game ball is inserted into the certainty variation opening 94. If you make a ball, it will shift to a high-probability game state after the jackpot game is over. The number of probability changes is set to 10,000.

It is determined as a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, and if the symbol fixedly displayed by the first special symbol is any of the symbols 14 to 20, the big winning opening (the first big winning opening 14, Play the round game eight times to open the second big winning opening 91). The second opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any of the symbols 14 to 20, the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern (see FIG. 24 (b)). In that case, since it is difficult to enter the game ball into the probability variation opening 94, it is not possible to enter the game ball into the probability variation opening 94, and the high probability game state is not transitioned after the big hit game ends. However, after the jackpot game is over, it will shift to the open extension state. In that case, the number of time reductions is set to 100 times.

The table of FIG. 23 (b) shows the type of the big hit symbol of the second special symbol, the content of the big hit game, and the type of the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
If it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the second special symbol is any of the symbols 21 to 23, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, A big hit game is executed in which a round game for opening the second big winning opening 91) is performed four times. The first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any of the symbols 21 to 23, the second special winning opening 91 based on the first opening pattern is opened (see FIG. 24 (a)), and the probability variation opening 94 is set. When a game ball is entered, it shifts to a high-probability game state after the jackpot game is over. The number of probability changes is set to 10,000.

If it is determined as a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed in the second special symbol is any of the symbols 24 to 26, the special winning opening (the first special winning opening 14, Play the round game four times to open the second big winning opening 91). The second opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any of the symbols 24 to 26, the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern (see FIG. 24 (b)), but the probability variation mouth It is difficult to enter the game ball into 94, and the game ball cannot be inserted into the probability variation opening 94. Therefore, the high-probability game state does not shift after the jackpot game is over. However, after the jackpot game is over, it will shift to the open extension state. In that case, the number of time reductions is set to 100 times.

The game configuration of the pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment will be described.
The gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and open extended state), the third specific state (low-probability gaming state and open extended state), or the fourth specific state (low-probability gaming state). And in the non-open extension state), the game ball is fired aiming at the first starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12, and the big hit is aimed at by the hit determination of the first special symbol.

  The pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment is set to have a high probability of being judged as a small hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol (see FIG. 22), and the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the second specific state (high probability game). State and non-open extension state) variation time (0.3 seconds to 1.5 seconds) corresponding to the small hit symbol determined by the second special symbol in the case of being shorter than the variation time of the first special symbol Therefore, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), if it is determined as a small hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, the small hit symbol is immediately confirmed and displayed, and a small hit game occurs. Will be done. When the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 of the present embodiment shifts to the second specific state, it is possible to frequently generate a small hit game in the second specific state and increase the prize balls.

  Therefore, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 shifts to the second specific state, by launching a game ball toward the right gaming area R and aiming at the second starting opening 69, small hitting games are frequently performed. While winning a prize ball, a game aiming for a big hit will be performed by the hit determination of the second special symbol. The payout rate (the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls shot in the game area 3) when the player hits the second starting opening 69 in the second specific state is a predetermined value (value of 1 or more). As such, the probability that the second special symbol is judged to be a small hit, the variation time of the second special symbol, the entry rate to the second special winning opening 91, the number of prize balls, etc. are adjusted. May be.

  The main routine will be described with reference to FIG. The main routine is periodically executed by a hard interrupt about every 2 ms. In the present embodiment, the process executed only once from S10 to S65 is referred to as "main process", and the process of S70 which is repeatedly executed within the time left for executing this main process as long as time permits. Residual processing ". The "main processing" will be periodically executed by the interrupt.

  When a hard interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether the interrupt is a normal interrupt (S10). This determination processing is performed by determining whether or not the value of the predetermined area of the RAM as the memory is the predetermined value, and when the processing executed by the microcomputer shifts to this processing, the normal processing is executed. It is for judging whether or not the data is acceptable. When the interrupt is not a normal interrupt, a microcomputer runaway or the like may occur when the power is turned on or due to noise, etc. However, it can be considered that there is almost no runaway of the microcomputer 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.

  When it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (S10: no), initial setting (eg, writing a predetermined value to a predetermined area of the memory, initializing special symbols and normal symbols to the work area of the memory, etc. The value is written (S15), and the process proceeds to the residual process (S70).

  When an affirmative decision is made that the interrupt is normal (S10: yes), the initial value random number updating process is executed (S20). This process is an increment process that increments the initial value random number by +1 each time this process is performed. The initial value random number value before this process is incremented by +1. When the value is "3966", the initial value "0" is returned in the next process, and 3967 integers from "0" to "3966" are repeatedly created in ascending order.

  The big hit determination random number update process (S25) subsequent to S20 is an increment process that increments by 1 each time the process is executed similarly to the initial value random number update process. When the maximum value is "3966", the next process starts. The value is returned to "0" which is the value of, and 3967 integers from "0" to "3966" are repeatedly created in ascending order. The initial value of the big hit determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 250, the big hit determination random numbers are updated to "250" "251" "252" ... "3966" "0" "1" ....

  When the big hit determination random number makes one round (updated 3967 times), the value of the initial value random number at that time is set as the initial value of the big hit determination random number, and the big hit determination random number is +1 from the initial value. Increment processing is performed. When the big hit determination random number makes one cycle again, the operation of setting the value of the initial value random number at that time to the initial value of the big hit determination random number is performed. In other words, this series of operations will be repeated. In the above-mentioned example, when the big hit determination random number becomes “249”, there is one cycle, so the value of the initial value random number is after “249”. If the value of the initial value random number is "87", it changes to "249", "87", "88" ... "3966", "0", "1" ... "86", and then "86". Next is a new value of the initial value random number. The big hit symbol determination random number updating process (S30) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 60 integers from "0" to "59", and is incremented by 1 for each process, and the initial value "0" is exceeded. Return to.

  The random number determining random number updating process (S35) subsequent to S30 is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 997 integers from "0" to "996". Return to a certain "0". The winning values are 31 to 40 in the low probability state and 31 to 996 in the high probability state. In addition, this hit determination random number update process is normally used for lottery of symbols, other initial value random numbers, big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbol determination random numbers, reach determination random numbers, fluctuation pattern determination random numbers are special symbol lottery To use.

  The reach determination random number updating process (S40) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 229 integers of "0" to "228", and is incremented by 1 in each process and the initial value "0" is exceeded when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to. The number of values that reach when the variable time reduction function is not activated in the low probability state is 21, and the values are "0" to "20", and reach when the variable time reduction function is activated in the low probability state. The number of values is 5, and the values are "0" to "4".

  The fluctuation pattern determination random number update process (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from "0" to "1020", and is incremented by 1 in each process and becomes the initial value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to 0 ".

In the subsequent winning confirmation process (S50), confirmation of winning of the first starting opening A11, the first starting opening B12, and the second starting opening 69, and input of each switch connected to the main controller 80 provided in the pachinko machine 50. The process is executed.
In this embodiment, when the game ball wins the first starting opening A11, the first starting opening B12, and the second starting opening 69, a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, a reach determination random number, etc. Although a plurality of random numbers are acquired, the number that can be held and stored is limited to four at the first starting opening (first starting opening A11, first starting opening B12) and second starting opening 69, respectively, and the pending storage is full. When four game balls are tongue, even if the game balls are won in the first starting opening (first starting opening A11, first starting opening B12) or the second starting opening 69, only the prize balls are paid out. The random number is not stored and stored.

  Subsequently, a win / loss determination process (S55) as a condition satisfaction determining means for determining whether or not it is a big hit is performed. When this hit / miss determination process (S55) ends, the fraud monitoring process (S60) is subsequently executed.

  In the subsequent fraud monitoring process (S60), it is monitored whether or not the fraudulent winning holes (first left winning opening 31, second left winning opening 32, third left winning opening 33, fourth left winning opening 34) have been performed. It is a process to determine whether the number of game balls entering the winning opening within a predetermined time is more than a predetermined number, and if there is more, it is determined to be fraudulent and informs that fact. It is a process to do. That is, the fraud determination means is provided in the main controller 80.

  Then, in each output process (S65), the main control device 80 according to the progress of the game, the production symbol control device 82, the payout control device 81, the firing control device 84, the sub integrated control device 83, the first special winning opening solenoid. Output processing is executed for each of 14b and the like. That is, when it is detected by the winning confirmation process (S50) that there is a prize for a game ball at each prize hole on the game board 1, the prize ball data is output to the payout controller 81 in order to pay out the game ball as the prize ball. The process to output the sound data corresponding to the game state to the sub integrated control device 83, when the pachinko machine 50 is abnormal, to output an error signal to the effect design control device 82 to inform that there is an error Each of the processing is performed.

  The above-mentioned residual processing subsequent to this processing is constituted by the initial value random number updating processing (S70), which is exactly the same processing as S20 described above. This process forms an infinite loop and is repeatedly executed until time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the above-described processing of S10 to S65 differs depending on whether or not the big hit processing is executed, the display mode of the special symbol, or the like. As a result, the number of times the residual processing is executed differs for each interrupt, and the value updated to the initial value random number is not uniform even if the interrupt processing shown in FIG. 6 is executed once. As a result, the possibility that the initial value random number will be synchronized with the jackpot determining random number becomes extremely small. If the values of the initial value random number (3967 ways from 0 to 3966) when the big hit determination random number makes one round occur at the same level, the probability of synchronization is only 1/3967. Further, the hit determination random number updating process (S35) described above may be executed in the residual process.

  The winning confirmation processing of S50 is as shown in FIG. 7, and the main control device 80 determines whether the first starting opening (first starting opening) based on the detection signal of the first starting opening A switch 11a or the first starting opening B switch 12a. It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12) (S100). If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the first reserved memory is full (this embodiment). Then, it is determined (S105).

  If the first reserved memory is not full (S105: no), the above random numbers are stored as the first reserved memory, and the number of lights of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18 is increased by 1 (S110), to S115. And transition. In S110, main controller 80 transmits a reserve number command indicating the reserve number stored in the first reserve memory to sub integrated controller 83.

  If there are already four first reserved memories (S105: yes), the reserved memory is not stored, and the process proceeds to S115 without increasing the number of lights of the first special symbol reserved number display device 18.

  When it is determined that the game ball has not entered the first starting opening A11 and the first starting opening B12 (S100: no), the process also proceeds to S115 in which the first starting opening A11 and the second starting opening switch 69a are used to detect the game ball. 2 It is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the starting port 69. If the determination is affirmative (S115: yes), the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number, the reach determination random number, the variation pattern determination random number, etc. are read from the corresponding counters, and the second reserved memory is full (this embodiment). Then, it is determined whether the number is 4) (S120).

  If the second holding memory is not full (S120: no), the above random numbers are stored as the second holding memory, and the number of lights of the second special symbol holding number display device 19 is increased by 1 (S125), to S125. And transition. In S125, the main control device 80 transmits to the sub integrated control device 83 a hold quantity command indicating the hold quantity stored in the second hold storage.

  If there are already four second reserved memories (S120: yes), the second reserved memory is not stored, and the present processing is ended (return) without increasing the number of lights of the second special symbol reservation number display device 19. .. Also, if the game ball has not entered the second starting port 69 (S115: no), this process is also terminated.

The special symbol hit / miss determination processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 13.
First, as shown in FIG. 8, in the first special symbol winning / discarding determination process, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the special electric auditors product is in operation (S150). If a negative determination is made in S150 (S150: no), the first special symbol is not changing (S155: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S160: no), the process proceeds to S200 of FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a storage (the above-mentioned storage pending in S110 of FIG. 7) (S200). When the special electric accessory is in operation (S150: yes), the special game process is performed.

  If there is the first pending storage (S200: yes), the first pending storage count is decremented (S205), and the process proceeds to S210. Moreover, when there is no first reserved memory (S200: no), the first special symbol winning / discarding determination process is ended as it is, and the special game process is performed.

  In S210, main controller 80 reads the oldest one of the first reserved memories (erases the reserved memories), and determines whether or not the probability variation flag is set (that is, 1). Here, the probability variation flag being "1" means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in the high-probability gaming state. In the case of a positive determination (S210: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S215). Further, in the case of a negative determination (S210: no), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S220).

In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not the second special symbol is in a big hit variation. When the big hit is not changing (S225: no), the process proceeds to S235. If the big hit is changing (S225: yes), the process proceeds to S280. In this embodiment, the jackpot probability in the low-probability game state is set to 1/300, and the jackpot probability in the high-probability game state is set to 1/30 (see FIG. 22).
In S235, main controller 80 decrements the first pending storage and compares the read big hit determination random number with the hit value to determine whether or not it is a big hit. If it is a big hit (S235: yes), the process proceeds to S260. If it is lost (S235: no), the process proceeds to S280.

  In S260, main controller 80 determines the big hit symbol by the big hit symbol determination random number, and determines the big hit variation pattern by the variation pattern determination random number in the big hit variation pattern determination process (S265). After the fluctuation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S270), and the process proceeds to S295. With the big hit design decided with the big hit setting processing, the game state after the big hit (whether or not there is an extension of opening) and the information about the big hit game (opening time of big hit, opening pattern of big winning opening, ending time of big hit, number of rounds, etc.) ) Is acquired.

  In S260, the main control device 80 of the first embodiment, if the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination of the first special symbol is "0" to "32", one of the symbols 1 to 11 Is determined. Further, when the value of the big hit symbol determination random number of the first special symbol is “33” to “38”, the symbol 12 or the symbol 13 is determined. Furthermore, when the value of the big hit symbol determination random number of the first special symbol is “39” to “59”, any symbol of symbols 14 to 20 is determined (FIG. 23 (a)). See).

Here, the big hit variation pattern determination process (S265) will be described.
First, in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), a case where it is determined that a big hit will be described. In S265, the main control device 80, in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), if it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol, the variation time of the first special symbol is 0. .3 seconds to 60 seconds (see FIG. 25).

  In the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), a case where it is determined that a big hit will be described. In S265, the main controller 80, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), when it is determined to be a big hit, the variation time of the first special symbol 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds (See FIG. 25).

  In the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), a case where it is determined that a big hit will be described. In S265, the main control unit 80, in the third specific state (low probability game state and open extension state), when it is determined to be a big hit, the variation time of the first special symbol to 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds Determine (see FIG. 25).

  In the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), a case where it is determined to be a big hit will be described. In S265, the main controller 80, in the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), when it is determined to be a big hit, the variation time of the first special symbol is 0.3 seconds to 180 seconds. To decide.

  If it is determined in S225 that the second special symbol is in a big hit variation (S225: yes), or the first reserved memory is decremented, the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value, and it is not a big hit. If it is determined (S235: no), the lost pattern is determined (S280), the variation pattern is determined by the random number for determining the variation pattern (S285), the loss setting process is performed (S290), and the process proceeds to S295. .. In the loss setting process, if the number of shortening times is positive, -1 is added.

  Subsequent to S270 or S290, data showing the lottery result described above, specifically, a big hit, out-of-reach (out of reach but reach display), data indicating out-of-reach without reach display, and fluctuation time A variation start command (display control command) including the data of the designated variation pattern is output to the sub integrated control device 83 (S295), and special game processing is performed.

Here, the loss variation pattern determination process (S285) will be described.
First, in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), the case where it is determined that there is a loss will be described. In S285, the main control unit 80, in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), if it is determined that the first special symbol is hit or not, the variation time of the first special symbol is 0. .3 seconds to 60 seconds (see FIG. 25).

  In the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), a case where it is determined that there is a loss will be described. In S285, the main controller 80, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), if it is determined that the first special symbol is lost by the hit / miss judgment, the variation time of the first special symbol is changed. Determine from 0.3 to 60 seconds (see Figure 25).

  Next, in the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), a case where it is determined that there is a loss will be described. In S285, the main controller 80, in the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), if it is determined that there is a loss, the variation time of the first special symbol is 0.3 seconds to 3.0. Seconds (see FIG. 25).

  In the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), a case where it is determined that there is a loss will be described. In S285, the main controller 80, in the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), when it is determined that there is a loss, the variation time of the first special symbol is 0.3 seconds to 180 seconds. (See FIG. 25).

  Returning to FIG. In FIG. 8, when the first special symbol is changing (S155: yes), the process proceeds to S450 of FIG. Further, when the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), the process proceeds to S500 in FIG.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a description will be given of the second special symbol hit / miss determination processing.
In the second special symbol hit determination processing, the main controller 80 determines whether the special electric auditors product is operating (S300). If the special electric accessory is not operating (S300: no), the special symbol is not changing (S305: no), and the confirmed symbol is not being displayed (S310: no), the process proceeds to S350 of FIG. 11, It is determined whether or not there is the second hold storage (the hold storage in S125 of FIG. 7 described above) (S350). If the special electric accessory is in operation (S300: yes), the process directly proceeds to the special game process.

  If there is the second reserved memory (S350: yes), the second reserved memory number is decremented (S355), and the process proceeds to S360. Moreover, when there is no second reserved memory (S350: no), the second special symbol winning / discarding determination process is ended as it is, and the special game process is performed.

  In S360, main controller 80 reads the oldest one of the second reserved memories (deletes the reserved memories), and determines whether or not the probability variation flag is set (that is, 1). Here, the probability variation flag being "1" means that the current pachinko machine 50 is in the high-probability gaming state. In the affirmative determination (S360: yes), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the probability variation table (S365), and the process proceeds to S375. Further, in the case of a negative determination (S360: no), the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value recorded in the normal table (S370), and the process proceeds to S375.

In S375, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the first special symbol is changing in the big hit. When the big hit is not changing (S375: no), the process proceeds to S380. Moreover, when the first special symbol is changing in the big hit (S375: yes), the process proceeds to S420.
In S380, main controller 80 decrements the second reserved memory, compares the read big hit determination random number with the hit value, and determines whether or not it is a big hit. If it is a big hit (S380: yes), the process proceeds to S385. If it is lost (S380: no), the process proceeds to S400. In this embodiment, the jackpot probability in the low-probability gaming state is set to 1/300, and the jackpot probability in the high-probability gaming state is set to 1/30.

  The second holding storage is decremented, the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value, and when it is determined that it is not a big hit (S380: no), in S400, the main control device 80, the second holding The memory is decremented and the read big hit determination random number is collated with the hit value to determine whether or not it is a small hit. This compares the extracted big hit determination random number value with a table storing a predetermined small hit value. The small hit probability of the second special symbol is 1 / 1.01 (see FIG. 22). If it is lost (S400: no), the process proceeds to S405. If it is a small hit (S400: yes), the process proceeds to S420.

  When it is determined that the first special symbol is not in the big hit variation (S380: no), the big hit symbol is determined by the big hit symbol determining random number (S385). After that, the process shifts to the jackpot variation pattern determination process (S390). In the jackpot variation pattern determination process, the jackpot variation pattern is determined using a variation pattern determination random number. After the variation pattern determination process, a big hit setting process is performed (S395), and the process proceeds to S435. Depending on the jackpot setting process that was determined, the game state after the jackpot (whether or not the extension is extended) and information about the jackpot game (opening time of jackpot, jackpot (first jackpot 14, second jackpot) This is a process for acquiring the opening pattern of the mouth 91), the ending time of the big hit, the number of rounds, etc.).

  In S385, the main control device 80, when the value of the big hit symbol determination random number of the second special symbol is "0" to "29", any one of the symbols 21 to 23 is selected. .. In addition, when the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the second special symbol is "30" to "59", one of the symbols 24 to 26 is selected (see FIG. 23 (b)). reference).

Here, the jackpot variation pattern determination process (S390) will be described.

In S400, if it is determined that the small hit (S400: yes), the small hit symbol is determined based on the random number for symbol determination (S405). After that, the variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination random number (S410), the small hit setting process (S415) is performed, and the process proceeds to S435.
In the small hitting setting process (S415) of the present embodiment, the information on the small hitting game (opening time of the small hitting, opening pattern of the second big winning opening 91, ending time of the small hitting) is acquired, and the number of times saved is reduced. It is a process to do.

  In S400, if it is determined to be a loss (S400: no), a loss symbol is determined (S420), a variation pattern is determined by a random number for determining a loss variation pattern (S425), and a loss setting process is performed (S430). ), And proceeds to S435. In the loss setting process, if the number of probability changes and the number of time reductions are positive, -1 is added.

Here, the loss variation pattern determination process (S425) will be described.
A case where it is determined that there is a loss in the first specific state (high-probability game state and extended extension state) will be described. In S425, the main control device 80, in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), if it is determined that there is a loss, the variation time of the second special symbol is determined to 10 minutes (FIG. 25).

When it is determined that the first special symbol is changing (S155: yes), or when it is determined that the second special symbol is changing (S305: yes), the process proceeds to S450 of FIG. 12, It is determined whether or not the symbol variation time (based on the variation pattern of S265, S285, S390, S410, or S425) has elapsed.
When the symbol variation time has elapsed (S450: yes), the fixed symbol display process is performed (S470), and the process proceeds to S475. In the definite symbol display processing, a command (symbol definite command) to display the definite symbol is output to the sub integrated control device 83, and a command is output to the special symbol display devices 9 and 10 to stop at the definite symbol. Let
Then, in S475, it is determined whether the confirmed symbol is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol. If it is a big hit symbol or a small hit symbol (S475: yes), the stop flag is set to "1" (S480), and the special game process is executed. When it is determined that the symbol is a lost symbol (S475: no), the special game process is performed.

  When the symbol variation time has not elapsed (S450: no), it is determined whether the stop flag is set to "1" (S455). In the case of a positive determination (S455: yes), the process proceeds to S460. In addition, in the case of a negative determination (S455: no), the special game processing is performed.

  In S460, the main control device 80 stops one of the first special symbol or the second special symbol which is changing and is a special symbol, and shifts to special game processing.

  When it is determined in S160 of FIG. 8 that the confirmed symbol is being displayed (S160: yes), or when it is determined that the confirmed symbol is being displayed in S310 of FIG. 10 (S310: yes), the process proceeds to S500 of FIG. Then, it is determined whether or not the display time of the fixed symbol is over. When a negative determination is made (S500: no), the special game process is performed. In addition, when the display time of the fixed symbol is over (S500: yes), the display of the fixed symbol is ended (S505), and it is determined that the special symbol that is fixedly displayed is a big hit combination. (S510: yes), it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is set to "1" (S515). If the determination is affirmative (S515: yes), the probability variation flag is set to "0" (S520). , S525. If the determination is negative (S515: no), the process proceeds to S525.

  In S525, main controller 80 determines whether or not the time saving flag is set to "1", and in the affirmative determination (S525: yes), the time saving flag is set to "0" (S530), and S535. Move to. If the determination is negative (S525: no), the process proceeds to S535.

  In S535, the jackpot flag is set to "1" by the condition device operation start processing. At S540, the accessory continuously operating device is activated, and at S545, a big hit game start process is performed. In the big hit game start processing, a command to start the big hit game and information relating to the big hit game (opening time of big hit, opening pattern, ending time of big hit, number of rounds, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. When the big hit start effect process is completed, a special game process is performed.

  In S510, when it is determined that the special symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is not a big hit display (S510: no), it is determined whether the probability variation flag is "1" (S550), and if "1" ( (S550: yes), it is determined whether the number of probability changes is 0 (S555). In the case of a positive determination (S555: yes), the probability variation flag is set to "0" (S560), and the process proceeds to S565. If the probability variation flag is "0" (S550: no) or the number of probability variation is not 0 (S555: no), the process proceeds to S565.

  In S565, main controller 80 determines whether the time saving flag is "1", and if it is "1" (S565: yes), determines whether the number of time saving is 0 (S570). If the number of time saving is 0 (S570: yes), the time saving flag is set to 0 in S575, and the process proceeds to S580. When the time saving flag is "0" (S565: no) or when the time saving number is not 0 (S570: no), the process directly proceeds to S580.

In S580, the main control unit 80 is a high probability game state, whether the state is a high-probability game state, or a state designating command indicating a state such as whether it is in the opening extension state, etc. Special symbol determination time (600 ms) The information is later transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83, and the process proceeds to S585.
In the case of the present embodiment, the timing of transmitting the state designating command from the main control device 80 to the sub integrated control device 83 in the special symbol hit / miss determination processing is after the special symbol fixing time, but at the start of the special symbol fluctuation and the power source. The state designation command may be transmitted even at the time of restoration.

  In S585, main controller 80 determines whether or not the final displayed second special symbol is a small hit symbol. When the second special symbol confirmed and displayed is the small hit symbol (S585: yes), the operation of the special electric accessory is started (S590), and the small hit game start process (S595) is performed. In the small hit game start processing (S595), a command for starting the small hit game and information relating to the small hit game (opening time of the small hit, opening pattern, ending time of the small hit, etc.) are transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. .. When the small hitting game start process (S595) ends, the special game process starts. If the second special symbol is not the small hit symbol (S585: no), the process proceeds to the special game process as it is.

The special game processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 19.
First, in the special game processing, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating based on the big hit flag (S600). The accessory continuous operation device is in operation (S600: yes), the probability variation mouth passage confirmation processing (S605) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the first special winning opening 14 is open (S610). When it is determined that the winning opening 14 is closed (S610: no), it is determined whether the second big winning opening 91 is open (S615), and the second big winning opening 91 is closed. When it is determined that it is in the middle (S615: no), it is determined whether the special winning openings (the first special winning opening 14, the second special winning opening 91) are closed during the interval between the rounds (S620). ). If it is not during the interval (S620: no), it is determined whether the big hit end effect is being produced (S625). If this is also a negative determination (S625: no), it is determined whether or not the time required for the effect of starting the big hit game has elapsed (S630). When the big hit start presentation time has elapsed (S630: yes), the first big winning opening opening process (S635) is performed, and this process is ended. If the big hit start effect time has not elapsed (S630: no), the special game process is ended. In addition, when the accessory continuous operation device is not in operation (S600: no), the process shifts to the small hit game process of FIG.

The above-mentioned probability variation mouth passage confirmation processing (S605) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In S850, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability variation mouth detection flag is “0”, and if the determination is affirmative (S850: yes), the process proceeds to S855. In S855, the main control device 80 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the probability variation port 94, and in the case of a positive determination (S855: yes), sets the probability variation port detection flag to "1" ( (S860), and proceeds to S610 in FIG. If the probability variation mouth detection flag is set to "1" (S850: no), or if there is no game ball in the probability variation mouth 94 (S855: no), the process proceeds to S610 of FIG. To do.
If the probability variation mouth detection flag is set to "1", it indicates that the game ball has entered the probability variation mouth 94. On the other hand, when the probability variation mouth detection flag is “0”, it indicates that the game ball has not entered the probability variation mouth 94.

When it is determined that the first special winning opening 14 is open (S610: yes), the process proceeds to S650 of FIG. 15, and it is determined whether or not 10 winnings have been won in the first special winning opening 14. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number of winnings to the first special winning opening 14 is 10, but it may be 9 or 8 and is not particularly limited. When 10 prizes have been won in the first special winning opening 14 (S650: yes), the first special winning opening closing process (S660) is performed. And big hit interval processing (S665) is done, special game processing ends.
Further, when 10 prizes have not been won in the first special winning opening 14 (S650: no), the process proceeds to S655, and it is determined whether or not the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 has ended. In this embodiment, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 30 seconds in the case of any of the big hits of 4, 8, or 16 rounds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. If the opening time has ended (S655: yes), it joins S660, and if it has not ended (S655: no), the special game processing ends.

When it is determined that the second special winning opening 91 is open (S615: yes), the process proceeds to S670 of FIG. In S670, main controller 80 performs distribution blade accessory control processing, and proceeds to S675. In S675, the main controller 80 determines whether or not eight prizes have been won in the second special winning opening 91. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number of winnings to the second special winning opening 91 is eight, but it may be seven or six and is not particularly limited. When eight prizes have been won in the second special winning opening 91 (S675: yes), the second special winning opening closing process (S685) is performed. And big hit interval processing (S690) is done, special game processing ends.
If eight prizes have not been won in the second special winning opening 91 (S675: no), the process proceeds to S680 to determine whether the opening time of the second special winning opening 91 has ended. In this embodiment, the maximum opening time of each round is set to 30 seconds in the case of any of the big hits of 4, 8, or 16 rounds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds. When the opening time has ended (S680: yes), the process merges into S685. If the opening time has not ended (S680: no), the special game process ends.
In the present embodiment, the second special winning opening 91 that is opened based on the first opening pattern in the second round is set to a maximum opening time of 30 seconds with one opening. On the other hand, the second special winning opening 91 which is opened based on the second opening pattern in the second round is set to have an opening time of 0.1 seconds at the first opening and an opening time of 29.9 seconds at the second opening. Has been done. In addition, when the distribution blade role object 93 is not closed at the time of execution of S685, the distribution blade role object 93 is closed with a slight delay from the closing of the second special winning opening 91.

The above-described distribution blade accessory control process (S670) will be described with reference to FIG.
In S900, the main control device 80 determines whether or not 3 seconds have elapsed from the opening of the second special winning opening 91, and if the determination is affirmative (S900: yes), the process proceeds to S905. In S905, it is determined whether or not the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed. If the determination is affirmative (S905: yes), the distribution blade accessory 93 is opened (S910), and the process proceeds to S915. . In addition, when 3 seconds have not elapsed since the opening of the second special winning opening 91 (S900: no), and when the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed (S905: no), the process proceeds to S915.

  In S915, main controller 80 determines whether or not distribution blade combination 93 is open, and in the case of affirmative determination (S915: yes), the process proceeds to S920. In S920, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability variation opening detection flag is set to "1", and if the determination is negative (S920: no), the process proceeds to S925. In the case of a positive determination (S920: yes), the process proceeds to S930.

  In S925, main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time of distribution blade accessory 93 has ended, and if the determination is affirmative (S925: yes), the process proceeds to S930. In S930, main controller 80 closes distribution blade accessory 93, ends the distribution blade accessory control processing, and proceeds to S675 in FIG.

  If the distribution blade accessory 93 is closed (S915: no), or if the opening time of the distribution blade accessory 93 has not ended (S925: no), the distribution blade accessory control process. Is ended, and the flow shifts to S675 in FIG.

  If it is determined in S620 of FIG. 14 that the interval is in progress (S620: yes), the process proceeds to S700 of FIG. 16 and it is determined whether or not the big hit interval time has elapsed. When the interval time has elapsed (S700: yes), it is determined whether or not the first big winning opening 14 was opened just before the final round (S705). If it is the final round (S705: yes), the big hit end effect process (S710) is performed, and the special game process is ended. If it is not the final round (S705: no), it is determined whether or not to open the first special winning opening 14 (S715), and if the determination is affirmative (S715: yes), the first special winning opening 14 is opened. The process (S720) is performed and the special game process is ended. Further, in the case of a negative determination (S715: no), a process of opening the second special winning opening 91 is performed (S725), and the special game process is ended. In addition, when it is determined that the big hit interval time has not elapsed (S700: no), the special game process is ended as it is. In addition, in the process of opening and closing the special winning openings (first special winning opening 14, second special winning opening 91), a signal is also transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83. The sub integrated control device 83 grasps the current round on the basis of the signal, and gives an effect according to the round.

  When it is determined in S625 of FIG. 14 that the big hit end effect is being performed (S625: yes), the process proceeds to S750 of FIG. 17, and it is determined whether or not the big hit end effect time has elapsed. When the big hit end effect time has elapsed (S750: yes), the operation of the accessory continuous operation device is stopped (S755), and the operation of the condition device is stopped (S760). If the big hit end effect time has not elapsed (S750: no), the special game process is ended.

  Then, in S765, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability variation mouth detection flag is set to "1". When the probability variation mouth detection flag is set to "1" (S765: yes), the probability variation count is set (S770), the probability variation flag is set to 1 (S775), and the probability variation mouth detection flag is "0". Then (S777), the process proceeds to S780. If the probability variation flag is set to 1, the winning probability of the special symbol is improved in this embodiment. When the probability variation mouth detection flag is 0 (S765: no), the process directly proceeds to S780. In addition, the number of probability changes is set to 10000 times, and the probability change is substantially guaranteed until the next big hit.

In S780, it is determined whether or not the next game state will be shortened. When shifting to time saving (S780: yes), the number of time saving is set (S785), the time saving flag is set to 1 (S790), and the process proceeds to S800. If the time is not shortened (S780: no), the process proceeds to S800.
When shifting to the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) after the jackpot game is over, the number of time saving is set to 100 times. Also, when the game goes to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the end of the big hit game, the number of time saving is set to 10000 times, and the continuation of the time saving until the next big hit is substantially guaranteed. .. When the time saving flag is set to 1, in this embodiment, the average variation time of the special symbol is shortened, the average variation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened, and the opening extension function for extending the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is set.

  In S800, main controller 80 determines whether or not the stop flag is set to "1". In the case of a positive determination (S800: yes), the stop flag is set to "0" (S805), and the process proceeds to S810. If the determination is negative (S800: no), the process proceeds to S810.

  In S810, main controller 80 performs a process of transmitting a jackpot end command to sub integrated controller 83, and in S815, sends a state designation command to sub integrated controller 83.

Here, it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol, after the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, the first specific state, the second specific state, or The probability of shifting to the third specific state will be described.
In the present embodiment, when the game ball is the first starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12 and the extracted jackpot symbol determining random number is "0" to "32", the symbols 1 to 11 Any of the above is selected (see FIG. 23A). After the jackpot game is executed in which the jackpot pattern is confirmed and displayed, the game goes to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state).
Further, when the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball in the first starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12 is “33” to “38”, among the symbols 12 or 13 Either one is selected (see FIG. 23 (a)). After the big hit game that is confirmed and displayed with the big hit symbol, the second specific state (high probability game state and non-open extension state) is entered.
When the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball into the first starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12 is "39" to "59", one of the symbols 14 to 20 is selected. Selected (see FIG. 23 (a)). After the completion of the big hit game in which the big hit symbols are fixedly displayed and executed, the third special state (low probability game state and open extension state) is entered.
Therefore, the probability of transitioning to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the end of the big hit game that is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol is 11/20. In addition, the probability of transitioning to the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extension state) after the jackpot game which is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol and is executed is 1/10. The probability of transitioning to the third specific state (low-probability gaming state and open extension state) after the jackpot game which is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol and is executed is 7/20.

  In addition, it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol, the probability of transitioning to the high-probability game state after the big hit game is 13/20. Also, the probability of transitioning to the low-probability game state after the jackpot game is determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol hit determination is 7/20.

Next, it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol, the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-opening) after the jackpot game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol. The probability of transition to an extended state) or a third specific state (low-probability game state and open extended state) will be described.
In this embodiment, when the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball into the second starting opening 69 is "0" to "29", any one of the symbols 21 to 23 is selected. (See FIG. 23B). After the big hit game that is confirmed and displayed with the big hit symbol, the second specific state (high probability game state and non-open extension state) is entered.
Further, when the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball into the second starting port 69 is "30" to "59", any of the symbols 24 to 26 is selected ( See FIG. 23 (b). After the big hit game which is confirmed and displayed with the big hit symbol, the third specific state (low probability game state and open extension state) is entered.
Therefore, after the end of the big hit game that is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol, the probability of transitioning to the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) is 1/2. .. On the other hand, the probability of transitioning to the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) after the jackpot game that is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol and executed is 1/2.

  In addition, the probability of transitioning to the high-probability game state after the end of the big hit game that is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol is 1/2, and is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol. The probability of transitioning to the low-probability game state after the end of the big hit game that has been executed is 1/2.

The probability of transitioning to the high-probability gaming state after the jackpot game is finalized when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol is higher after the jackpot game is finished when the big jackpot symbol is definitely displayed in the second special symbol. It has a configuration higher than the probability of shifting to the probability game state (see FIG. 23). Also, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and open extension state) or the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extension after the end of the big hit game) It is possible to shift to the state), but when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, it is not possible to shift to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the big hit game ends. (See Figure 23).
The configuration is not limited to this, and other configurations may be used. For example, the probability of shifting to the high-probability game state after the jackpot game executed when the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol is executed when the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol. The configuration may be higher than the probability of shifting to the high-probability game state after the end of the big hit game. Also, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, the probability of transitioning to the high-probability game state after the big hit game is executed and when the big bonus symbol is definitely displayed in the second special symbol, it is executed. It may be the same as the probability of shifting to the high-probability game state after the jackpot game is over.

When it is determined in FIG. 14 that the accessory continuous operation device is not operating (S600: no), the small hit game process is performed. The small hitting game process will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21.
First, in S950, the main control device 80 determines whether the special electric auditors product is operating, and if it is operating (S950: yes), determines whether the second special winning opening 91 is open (S955). . When a negative determination is made (S955: no), it is determined whether or not the interval between the small hit games is in progress (S960). If it is not during the small hitting game interval (S960: no) and is not in the end effect of the small hitting game (S965: no), wait for the time required for the starting effect of the small hitting game to pass (S970: yes). , The second big winning opening 91 is opened (S975), and this processing ends. If it is determined that the special electric auditors product is not operating (S950: no), or if the time required for the small hit start effect has not elapsed (S970: no), this processing is ended as it is. .

 When it is determined in S955 of FIG. 20 that the second special winning opening 91 is open (S955: yes), the process proceeds to S1000 of FIG. 21, and it is determined whether or not eight winnings have been won in the second special winning opening 91. judge. In the case of a positive determination (S1000: yes), the process proceeds to S1010. Further, in the case of a negative determination (S1000: no), it is determined whether or not the opening time of the second special winning opening 91 has ended (S1005). In the case of a positive determination (S1005: yes), the process proceeds to S1010. Moreover, in the case of a negative determination (S1005: no), the small hitting game process is ended.

  In S1010, the main controller 80 performs the second big winning opening closing process, in S1015, performs the small hit interval process, and ends the small hit game process. In this embodiment, in the case of a small hit, the maximum time for each opening is set to 0.9 seconds. Of course, it is not limited to this number of seconds.

  When it is determined in S960 of FIG. 20 that the small hit interval is in progress (S960: yes), the process proceeds to S1020 of FIG. 21, and it is determined whether or not the small hit interval time has elapsed. When the small hit interval time has elapsed (S1020: yes), the process proceeds to S1025. In the case of a negative determination (S1020: no), the small hit game process is ended.

  In S1025, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the second special winning opening 91 has been opened by a specified number (twice in this case) or eight winnings have been completed. In the case of a positive determination (S1025: yes), the small hitting end effect process (S1030) is performed to end the small hitting game process. In the case of a negative determination (S1025: no), the second special winning opening 91 is opened once for 0.9 seconds by the second special winning opening opening processing (S1035), and the small hitting game processing is ended. That is, in the small hit, the second big winning opening 91 is basically opened twice for 0.9 seconds, but if there are eight or more winnings in one opening, only one opening is a small hit. Ends. It should be noted that, in reality, eight or more winnings are rarely generated by one opening.

  When it is determined in S965 of FIG. 20 that the small hit end effect is being performed (S965: yes), the process proceeds to S1040 of FIG. 21, and it is determined whether the small hit end effect time has elapsed. When it is determined that the small hit end effect time has elapsed (S1040: yes), the operation of the special electric auditors product is stopped in S1045, and the small hit end command is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S1050). Then, the process proceeds to S1055. If the small hit end effect time has not elapsed (S1040: no), the small hit game process is ended.

  In S1055, main controller 80 determines whether or not the stop flag is set to "1". In the case of a positive determination (S1055: yes), the stop flag is set to "0" (S1060), and the small hitting game process ends. Further, in the case of a negative determination (S1055: no), the small hit game process is ended.

26 to 30, an example of an effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 of the pachinko machine 50 is shown.
FIG. 26 is an example of an effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 is the fourth specific state (low-probability game and non-open extension state).
At the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol changes (see FIG. 26 (a)). After that, among the effect symbols 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol, the left effect symbol and the right effect symbol are stopped at "5", and the middle effect symbol is changed, so that the reach state is reached (Fig. 26 ( See b)). Then, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed at "555", and the player is informed that it has been a big hit (see FIG. 26 (c)).

In the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), an example of an effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 27.
When the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 shifts to the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and extended extension state), "Tachiyoshi chance zone" is displayed in the upper left part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 (Fig. 27 (a See)). At the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol changes (see FIG. 27 (a)). An effect character 1008 is displayed below the effect symbol 1000. After that, among the effect symbols 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol, the left effect symbol and the right effect symbol are stopped at "4", and the middle effect symbol changes, so that the reach state is reached (Fig. 27 ( See b)). Then, the effect symbol 1000 corresponding to the first special symbol is confirmed and displayed at "444", and the player is informed that it has been a big hit (see FIG. 27 (c)).

When the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 shifts to the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extension state) after the end of the big hit game, the production mode displayed on the screen of the production symbol display device 6 is shown in FIGS. The production mode shown in 29 is entered.
When the game state of the pachinko machine 50 shifts to the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), a battle effect is performed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and an effect character 1002 is generated during the battle effect. Depending on which of the production character 1003 and the production character 1003 wins the battle, the game state to be transferred after the end of the big hit game is different.

  When shifting to the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), the effect character 1002 and the effect character 1003 are displayed in the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, and the effect character 1002 and the effect character 1003 battle. Is started (see FIG. 28 (a)). In the lower left part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is variably displayed.

  Then, when the small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, the effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is stopped at "246" (see FIG. 28 (b)), and the small hit game is performed. Executed. On the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a battle between the effect character 1002 and the effect character 1003 is being performed, and the effect character 1002 is in a pinch situation (FIG. 28 (b)).

  In FIG. 28 (c), the effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol has changed. On the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a revival effect indicating whether or not the effect character 1002 can be revitalized is displayed, and an effect for instructing the player to repeatedly hit the effect button 67 is displayed (FIG. 28 (c)). Among the effect symbols 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol, the left effect symbol and the right effect symbol are “2”, the medium effect symbol is changing, and it is informed that the reach state is reached. For example, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, the big jackpot symbol in the second special symbol (symbol 24 to symbol 26 shown in FIG. 23) When there is a possibility that will be confirmed and displayed, the effect display shown in FIG. 28C is displayed.

When success is caused by the continuous hit operation of the effect button 67, the process moves to FIG. 28 (d). At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1001 corresponding to the second special symbol is stopped at "232". As a result, the big hit symbol (symbols 24 to 26 shown in FIG. 23) is not confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol, and it is informed that the hit determination of the second special symbol is a loss. Further, on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, an effect for notifying that the effect character 1002 has been revived is displayed.
By performing such an effect, by displaying an effect display using the effect button 67 in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), the small hit game is simply played until a big hit is determined. Not only is it frequently generated, but also the effect can be enjoyed during the second specific state.

In the present embodiment, when the battle effect of the effect character 1002 and the effect character 1003 is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, if it is determined that the special symbol is a big hit, the special symbol is fixedly displayed. Depending on the symbol (see FIG. 23), the result of the battle effect between the effect character 1002 and the effect character 1003 displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 is different.
Here, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, and any symbol of symbols 21 to 23 is determined by the second special symbol. When it is displayed (see FIG. 23 (b)), the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 (a) to 29 (c).

  As shown in FIG. 29A, the battle effect of the effect character 1002 and the effect character 1003 is displayed. In the lower left part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the left effect symbol and the right effect symbol of the effect symbol 1001 are stopped at "7", and the middle effect symbol is changing, so it is in the reach state ( See FIG. 29 (a)).

  29A to 29B. As shown in FIG. 29B, the player is informed that the effect character 1002 has won the battle with the effect character 1003. Since the display indicated by the reference numeral 1009 displays "Congratulations! Tatsuyoshi RUSH mode continuation", it informs that it will shift to the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extension state) after the jackpot game is over. ing. At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1001 is stopped at "777". Then, the process proceeds to FIG. 29 (c). At the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1001 is stopped at "777".

  Next, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, and any symbol of symbols 24 to 26 is determined by the second special symbol. When it is displayed (see FIG. 23 (b)), the effect patterns shown in FIGS. 29 (d) to 29 (f) are displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.

  As shown in FIG. 29D, the battle effect of the effect character 1002 and the effect character 1003 is displayed. In the lower left part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the left effect symbol and the right effect symbol of the effect symbol 1001 are stopped at "4", and the middle effect symbol is changing, so that the reach state is reached.

  Then, the process proceeds from FIG. 29D to FIG. 29E. As shown in FIG. 29E, the player is informed that the effect character 1002 has lost the battle with the effect character 1003. In the display indicated by reference numeral 1009, "sorry ... normal big hit" is displayed. After the jackpot game is over, it is informed that it will shift to the third specific state (low probability game state and open extension state). At the lower left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1001 is stopped at "444". Then, the process proceeds to FIG. 29 (f). At the center of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the effect symbol 1001 is stopped at “444”.

Using FIG. 30, after transitioning to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the final round and the jackpot game are over, the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension) State), or when transitioning to the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), the effect mode displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 will be described.
In the final round of the big hit game, the effect character "Kuma no Tatsuyoshi" is displayed in the center of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6 (see FIG. 30 (a)). Further, a round number display 1005 is displayed on the upper left of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6. In the round number display 1005, “final R” is displayed to inform the player that it is the final round (see FIG. 30 (a)).

When the final round ends, the big hit game ends, and when the big hit game ends, the state shifts to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), the effect mode shown in FIG. It will be displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
At the upper part of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, "Tachiyoshi chance zone" is displayed. Below the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a left game area launch display 1006 is displayed. On the left game area launch display 1006, "Please return to left" is displayed. By displaying the left game area launch display 1006, the player is instructed to stop the launch of the game ball to the right game area R and return the launch of the game ball to the left game area L. Further, the effect character 1008 is displayed in the lower right part of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6.

Also, when the final round ends and the big hit game ends, and when the big hit game ends, the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) is transitioned to, the effect mode shown in FIG. It is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
Below the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a left game area launch display 1006 is displayed. On the left game area launch display 1006, "Please return to left" is displayed. By displaying the left game area launch display 1006, the player is instructed to stop the launch of the game ball to the right game area R and return the launch of the game ball to the left game area L.

When the final round ends and the big hit game ends, and when the big hit game ends, the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) is transitioned to, the effect mode shown in FIG. It will be displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6.
At the bottom of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6, a right game area launch display 1007 is displayed. In the right game area launch display 1007, "Please continue right-handed as it is" is displayed. By displaying the right game area launch display 1007, the player is instructed to continue the launch of the game ball to the right game area R. Further, the effect character 1002 is displayed in the center of the screen of the effect pattern display device 6.

According to the pachinko machine 50 of Example 1, the probability of shifting to the open extension state after the end of the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol is a high probability game after the end of the big hit game. Since it is higher when it shifts with the state (see FIG. 23 (a)), it becomes a game in which it is easy to continuously judge as a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, but once the big hit game ends, the second specific state When it becomes a big hit to shift to, the average fluctuation time of the second special symbol in the second specific state is short, and the probability of being judged as a small hit is high in the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening. Therefore, the small hit game can be generated with a high probability, and the second specific state is a state in which the small hit game is likely to occur frequently, so that it can be made a more advantageous state for the player than when the opening extension function is activated. Become possible
In addition, in the present embodiment, rather than the big hit game executed when it is determined to be a big hit in the first special symbol hit determination, the big hit game executed when it is determined to be a big hit in the second special symbol hit determination Although the number of balls that can be obtained is smaller, if the game can be transferred to the second specific state, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 will include not only the balls that can be obtained in the big hit game but also the balls that can be obtained in the small hit game. The expected value of payouts that can be obtained in total by the time the game shifts to the low probability game state is higher in the second specific state than in the first specific state.
Furthermore, the big hit symbol that is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol is the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) or the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) after the end of the big hit game. Because it is a symbol to be transferred to, once the jackpot game with the first special symbol is finished the jackpot game (the symbol 12 shown in FIG. 23 (a) or the jackpot symbol 12 or the high probability game state and the non-open extension state) to shift to The pattern 13) is confirmed and displayed, and when the big hit game is over and the second specific state is entered, it is possible to create a state in which a small hit game is likely to occur frequently, and to exhibit a new game characteristic that has not been available in the past. Can be done.

  Further, during the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extended state), by the judgment of the hit based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening (first starting opening A11, first starting opening B12), It becomes a game property such as how to get a big hit or which big hit among a plurality of kinds of big hits, and during the second specific state (high probability game state and non-open extension state), the second Because the number of rounds of the big hit game that is executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the special symbol is small, how much the small hit is until the big hit is drawn in the hit judgment based on the game ball to the second starting opening 69. Depending on whether the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is the first specific state or the second specific state, it becomes possible to divide the game into two types of game characteristics.

  In the present embodiment, the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) has a higher expected value of the payout balls that can be obtained in total, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and open extension state) may have a configuration in which the expected value of payouts that can be obtained in total is higher.

Further, the ball game machine of the present embodiment, the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), or the fourth specific state (low-probability) When it is determined to be a big hit when it is a gaming state and a non-open extension state, it is easy to shift to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the big hit game, but the second specific state (high Will it be possible to move up to the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), which makes it more difficult to shift to the probabilistic game state and non-open extension state, and has a higher expectation for winning a large number of balls? It became a playability.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, and for example, when it is determined that a big hit is in the fourth specific state (low-probability game state and non-open extension state), the second specific state (high The configuration may be such that it is easy to shift to the probabilistic gaming state and the non-open extended state, and the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and the non-open extended state) advantageous to the player to the first specific state (high-probability gaming state). And open extension state) will be a game of whether the rank is down.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined that the first special symbol is a big hit by the hit determination, and the payout that can be obtained by the executed big hit game is determined as the big hit by the second special symbol hit determination, and is obtained by the executed big hit game. It is configured to be more than the number of payouts that can be made, but is not limited to this, for example, than the number of payouts that can be obtained by the big hit game that is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, It may be determined that the second special symbol is a big hit, and a large number of coins that can be acquired by the executed big hit game may be configured.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration / state of the first embodiment and the constituent requirements of the present invention will be shown.
The "first starting port A" of the present invention corresponds to the first starting port A11, the "first starting port B" corresponds to the first starting port B12, and the "second starting port" is the second starting port. Corresponds to the mouth 69, the "win / win determination means" corresponds to the win / fail determination processing (S50), the "first special symbol display device" corresponds to the first special symbol display device 9, and "second special symbol display""Device","big hit game execution means" corresponds to special game processing, "small hit game execution means" corresponds to small hit game processing, "probability variation means" corresponds to probability variation function, "open" The "extension means" corresponds to the open extension function, the "first game area" corresponds to the left game area L, the "second game area" corresponds to the right game area R, and the "first specific state". Corresponds to the first specific state, the “second specific state” corresponds to the second specific state, and the “first special winning opening” corresponds to the first special winning opening 14. However, the “second special winning opening” corresponds to the second special winning opening 91, the “specific area” corresponds to the probability variation opening 94, the “first opening pattern” corresponds to the first opening pattern, The "second opening pattern" corresponds to the second opening pattern.
[Example 2]

Example 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 and 32. Since the present embodiment has many common points with the first embodiment, the different points will be mainly described.
In the pachinko machine 50 of the first embodiment, in the case of shifting to the high-probability gaming state after finishing the big hit game, 10000 times is set in the probability variation number setting process (S770) of FIG. When the number of probability changes is set to 10,000, the high-probability gaming state will substantially continue until the next big hit. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment, when shifting to the high-probability game state after the end of the big hit game, 100 times is set as the probability change number, and the special symbol is not obtained in the high-probability game state, and the winning result cannot be obtained. When the number of fluctuations of exceeds 100 times, it is configured to have a so-called number-of-times-probability changing function that shifts from a high-probability game state to a low-probability game state.

Further, in the first embodiment, when it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol, the probability of transitioning to the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extension state) after the end of the big-hit game, and the big-hit game. After the end of, the probability of shifting to the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) is both 1/2 (see FIG. 23 (b)). Therefore, when it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol, it shifts to a high-probability game state after the end of the big-hit game with a probability of 1/2, and a low-probability game after the end of the big-hit game with a probability of 1/2. A transition is made to the state (see FIG. 23 (b)).
On the other hand, in the second embodiment, when it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol, the probability of transitioning to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the end of the big-hit game, and the second identification The probabilities of transitioning to the states (high-probability game state and non-release extended state) are both 1/2 (see FIG. 32 (a)). Therefore, if it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the second special symbol, it will shift to a high-probability game state after the end of the big hit game (see FIG. 32 (a)).

First, the basic specifications of the pachinko machine 50 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The jackpot probability of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the low-probability game state is 1/300. The jackpot probability of the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the high-probability game state is set to 1/100 unlike the first embodiment. The small hit probability of the second special symbol is set to 1 / 1.01, and in the hit determination of the second special symbol, it is determined to be a small hit. In addition, the small hit probability of the first special symbol is not set.

  The number of prize balls by entering the first starting opening A11, the first starting opening B12, and the second starting opening 69 is three. In addition, the number of prize balls to the other winning openings (first left winning opening 31, second left winning opening 32, third left winning opening 33, or fourth left winning opening 34) is 10, the first big winning opening 14 The number of prize balls to is 12. The number of prize balls to the second big winning hole 91 is 12. The specified number of prizes to the first special winning opening 14 is 10, and the specified number of prizes to the second special winning opening 91 is 8.

  The normal symbol winning probability is 1/300 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extension state (when the extension function is not activated), and is 1 / 1.0101 when the pachinko machine 50 is in the extension state (when the extension function is activated). The opening time of the ordinary electric accessory is once every 0.2 seconds when the pachinko machine 50 is in the non-open extension state (when the extension function is not activated). In the extended extension state (when the extended extension function is activated), it is once every 3.0 seconds.

Next, the jackpot pattern of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The table of FIG. 32 (a) shows the types of big hit symbols of the first special symbol, the contents of the big hit game, and the types of opening patterns of the second special winning opening 91.
If it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the first special symbol is any of the symbols 27 to 37, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, A round game for opening the second big winning opening 91) is performed 16 times. The first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any one of the symbols 27 to 37, the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the first opening pattern (see FIG. 24 (a)), and the probability variation mouth. When a game ball is entered in 94, it shifts to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the jackpot game is over. The number of probabilistic changes and the number of shortening times are set to 100 times.

If it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the first special symbol is the symbol 38 or the symbol 39, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, second big winning) Play round game 8 times to open mouth 91). The first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on the design 38 or the design 39, the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern (see FIG. 24 (b)), and the game ball is inserted into the certainty variation opening 94. When the ball is played, it shifts to a high-probability game state after the jackpot game is over. The number of probability changes is set to 100.

If it is determined as a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the first special symbol is any of the symbols 40 to 45, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, Play the round game eight times to open the second big winning opening 91). The second opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any of the symbols 40 to 45, the second special winning opening 91 based on the second opening pattern is opened (see FIG. 24 (b)), but the positive variation mouth It is difficult to enter the game ball into 94, and the game ball cannot be inserted into the probability variation opening 94. Therefore, the high-probability game state does not shift after the jackpot game is over. However, after the jackpot game is over, it will shift to the open extension state. In that case, the number of time reductions is set to 100 times.

The table of FIG. 32 (b) shows the types of big hit symbols of the second special symbol, the contents of the big hit game, and the types of opening patterns of the second special winning opening 91.
If it is determined as a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the second special symbol is any of the symbols 47 to 49, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, A big hit game is executed in which a round game for opening the second big winning opening 91) is performed four times. The first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any of the symbols 47 to 49, the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the first opening pattern (see FIG. 24 (a)), and the probability variation mouth When a game ball is entered in 94, the high probability game state is entered after the big hit game is over. The number of probability changes is set to 100.

If it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, and the symbol fixedly displayed with the second special symbol is any of the symbols 50 to 52, a big winning opening (first big winning opening 14, Play the round game four times to open the second big winning opening 91). The second opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91.
In the second round of the big hit game based on any of the symbols 50 to 52, the second special winning opening 91 is opened based on the second opening pattern (see FIG. 24 (b)), but the positive variation mouth It is difficult to enter the game ball into 94, and the game ball cannot be inserted into the probability variation opening 94. Therefore, the high-probability game state does not shift after the jackpot game is over. However, after the jackpot game is over, it will shift to the open extension state. In that case, the number of time reductions is set to 100 times.

In the first special symbol hit determination process, the jackpot symbol determination process (S260) of the first special symbol performed by the main control device 80 of the second embodiment will be described (see FIG. 9).
In S260, the main controller 80 of the second embodiment, if the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination of the first special symbol is "0" to "32", one of the symbols 27 to 37 Is determined. In addition, when the value of the random number for determining the big hit symbol of the first special symbol is “33” to “38”, the symbol 38 or the symbol 39 is determined. Furthermore, when the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination of the first special symbol is “39” to “59”, any symbol of symbols 40 to 46 is determined (FIG. 32 (a)). See).

In the second special symbol hit determination process, the jackpot symbol determination process (S385) of the second special symbol performed by the main controller 80 of the second embodiment will be described (see FIG. 11).
In S385, the main control device 80 of the second embodiment, if the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination of the second special symbol is "0" to "29", one of the symbols 47 to 49 Is determined. In addition, when the value of the random number for jackpot symbol determination of the second special symbol is "30" to "59", one of the symbols 50 to 52 is determined (FIG. 32 (b)). See).

Here, in Example 2, it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, after the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, the first specific state, the first The probability of shifting to the second specific state or the third specific state will be described.
In the present embodiment, when the gaming ball wins the first starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12 and the extracted jackpot symbol determining random number is "0" to "32", the symbols 27 to 37 Any of the above is selected (see FIG. 32A). After the jackpot game is executed in which the jackpot pattern is confirmed and displayed, the game goes to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state).
Further, when the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball into the first starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12 is "33" to "38", among the symbols 38 or 39. Any one is selected (see FIG. 32 (a)). After the big hit game that is confirmed and displayed with the big hit symbol, the second specific state (high probability game state and non-open extension state) is entered.
When the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball into the first starting opening A11 or the first starting opening B12 is "39" to "59", any one of the symbols 40 to 46 is selected. Selected (see FIG. 32 (a)). After the completion of the big hit game in which the big hit symbols are fixedly displayed and executed, the third special state (low probability game state and open extension state) is entered.
Therefore, the probability of transitioning to the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and open extension state) after the jackpot game that is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol and is executed is 11/20. In addition, the probability of transitioning to the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extension state) after the jackpot game which is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol and is executed is 1/10. The probability of transitioning to the third specific state (low-probability gaming state and open extension state) after the jackpot game which is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol and is executed is 7/20.

  In addition, it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol, the probability of transitioning to the high-probability game state after the big hit game is 13/20. It is determined as a big hit by the hit determination of the first special symbol, the probability of shifting to the low-probability game state after the big hit game is 7/20.

Next, it is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, and the first specific state (high-probability game state and opening extension after completion of the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol). State), or a second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) and the like will be described.
In the present embodiment, when the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball in the second starting port 69 is "0" to "29", one of the symbols 47 to 49 is selected. (See FIG. 32B). After the jackpot game is executed in which the jackpot pattern is confirmed and displayed, the game goes to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state).
Further, when the big hit symbol determination random number extracted by winning the game ball into the second starting port 69 is "30" to "59", any one of the symbols 50 to 52 is selected ( 32 (b)). After the big hit game that is confirmed and displayed with the big hit symbol, the second specific state (high probability game state and non-open extension state) is entered.
Therefore, the probability of shifting to the first specific state (high-probability gaming state and open extended state) is 1/2 after the big-hit game which is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol and is executed. On the other hand, the probability of shifting to the second specific state (high-probability gaming state and non-open extension state) after the end of the big-hit game which is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, is 1/2.

  In addition, the probability of shifting to the high-probability gaming state after the end of the big-hit game which is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol is 1/1.

In the second embodiment, the probability of transitioning to the high-probability game state after the jackpot game executed when the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol is confirmed and the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol. It is configured to be higher than the probability of shifting to the high-probability gaming state after the jackpot game executed in the case (see FIG. 32).
The configuration is not limited to this, and other configurations may be used. For example, the probability of shifting to the high-probability game state after the jackpot game executed when the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol is executed when the jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed in the second special symbol. The configuration may be higher than the probability of shifting to the high-probability gaming state after the completion of the jackpot game. Also, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the first special symbol, the probability of transitioning to the high-probability game state after the big hit game is executed and when the big bonus symbol is definitely displayed in the second special symbol, it is executed. It may be the same as the probability of shifting to the high-probability game state after the jackpot game is over.

The pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment, in addition to the big hit game shown in FIG. 32 (b), as a big hit game executed when the big hit design is confirmed and displayed in the second special design, a small hit in the second special design. Small jackpot game that is executed when the symbol is confirmed (two times the second big winning opening 91 is opened for 0.9 seconds) and the opening of the second big winning opening 91 It may be provided. As the specific jackpot game, for example, the second jackpot 91 is opened for 0.9 seconds in the first round, the second jackpot 91 is opened for 0.9 seconds in the second round, and the second jackpot is finished after the jackpot game is over. A big hit game that shifts to a specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) is possible.
By providing a specific jackpot game, whether or not the specific jackpot game is determined to be a jackpot in the hit determination of the second special symbol (two rounds of opening the second jackpot 91 of 0.9 seconds) is executed, or It is possible to make it difficult for the player to determine whether or not the small hit game (two opening of the second special winning opening 91 of 0.9 seconds) is executed by the small hit in the second special symbol. Become.
In the case of a configuration including a specific jackpot game, the number of remaining games (probable variation count) is displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), and 2 The special jackpot is determined to be a big hit by the special symbol hit determination, and after that, the special jackpot game is executed, and after that, the new game number is added to the remaining game number displayed on the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 to perform the addition effect. Is possible.
In the second round in the big hit game of 2R certainty variation jackpot, if the game ball is normally fired toward the right game area R, the game ball flowing down the right game area R enters the second big winning opening 91. Then, it is assumed that the game ball that has entered the second big winning opening 91 enters the probability changing opening 94, and shifts to the high-probability game state after the big hit game ends.

  According to the pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment, when the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the second special symbol, it is released during the big hit game than when the big hit symbol is definitely displayed with the first special symbol. Since the probability that the first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening 91 is high (see FIG. 32), the probability that the probability variation function will continue to operate is high, and the second specific after the jackpot game ends. It becomes possible to drive the player's motivation to play by giving a feeling that he / she wants to win the big hit that shifts to the state.

  In addition, if the game shifts to the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) after the big hit game, can the big hit be drawn early before the number of probability changes reaches 0 in the first specific state? If you move to the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) after the end of the big hit game, the small hit game will occur as much as possible in the second specific state. While making it possible, it is possible to exert a game property of whether or not a big hit can be drawn before the number of probability changes reaches 0. Therefore, a difference in game property depending on whether or not to shift to an extended extension state after the big hit game is finished. It can be outstanding.

  In Example 1 and Example 2, it is determined to be a small hit by the hit determination of the second special symbol, but is not determined as a small hit in the hit determination of the first special symbol. Not limited to this configuration, a configuration in which the first special symbol is determined to be a small hit is also conceivable.

  In the pachinko machine 50 of Example 1 and Example 2, the probability that the opening extension function will be activated after the end of the big hit game, depending on the type of big hit symbol that is definitely displayed as a special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) Although the configuration is different (see FIGS. 23 and 32), other configurations may be used. For example, depending on whether or not the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the special symbol is the open extension state, the probability that the open extension function is activated after the big hit game may be different. .. Specifically, if the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 when it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination of the special symbol is the open extension state, the probability that the open extension function will be activated after the end of the big hit game is low. Can be considered.

In the first and second embodiments, the jackpot game executed on the basis of the jackpot symbol confirmed and displayed on the first special symbol is more than the jackpot game executed on the basis of the jackpot symbol confirmed and displayed on the second special symbol. Also, the total number of big hit game rounds is large (see FIGS. 23 and 32). Not limited to this configuration, the big hit game executed based on the big hit symbol fixedly displayed in the second special symbol is larger than the big hit game executed based on the big hit symbol fixedly displayed in the first special symbol. The number of rounds of big hit games may be large. In this case, it can be very advantageous for the player to be judged as a big hit by the judgment result of the second special symbol, and whether or not it can be shifted to the second specific state after the big hit game is over. The game playability can be remarkably exhibited, and the game can be played in a sharp manner.
[Other Examples]

As a configuration of another embodiment, first, as a starting port corresponding to the first special symbol, under the center case 5 of the game board 1, at a position where the game ball flowing down the left game area L is easy to enter, A first starting opening 11 is provided that allows always entering (winning). In the right game area R of the game board 1 of the other embodiment, a downflow path is provided, and the game balls flowing down the right game area R are configured to flow down along the downflow path. The game ball flowing down along the flow path first passes through the normal symbol operation gate 17, and further flows down.
Downstream of the normal symbol operation gate 17, the second starting port 69 corresponding to the second special symbol is arranged, the second starting port 69 provides a wing piece that can be opened and closed, and the wing piece when the normal electric accessory operates. It will be opened and you can enter game balls. The game ball which entered the normal symbol operation gate 17 flows down the downflow path, is guided to the second starting port 69, and the game ball guided to the second starting port 69 is a wing piece due to the operation of an ordinary electric auditor. With a high probability, the player will win the second starting port 69 with the open state. When the wing pieces are closed, it is difficult to win the second starting port 69 and will not win the second starting port 69. The game ball will flow further downstream.
A second big winning opening 91 that opens and closes in a small hit game is arranged downstream of the second starting opening 69, and a game ball that has flown into the second starting opening 69 without winning a prize is the second big winning. It is arranged so that a prize can be won when the mouth 91 is opened.

The winglets provided in the second starting port 69 are provided with a first opening pattern and a second opening pattern. When the first opening pattern is selected, the winglets provided in the second starting port 69 are opened for a long time. Further, when the second opening pattern is selected, the wing pieces provided in the second starting opening are opened for a short time. Although the second opening pattern is shorter than the opening time of the wing piece when the first opening pattern is selected, the game ball can enter the second starting opening 69.
In the pachinko machine 50 of the other embodiment, the open pattern selected as the open pattern of the wing pieces provided in the second starting port 69 has a different configuration depending on the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50. When the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is the open extended state, the first open pattern is selected as the open pattern of the wing pieces provided in the second starting port 69, and the game state of the pachinko machine 50 is the non-open extended state. In some cases, the second open pattern will be selected.
The second in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) and the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) The average variation time of special symbols shall be short. Further, similarly to the first and second embodiments, it is assumed that the probability of being judged as a small hit is high in the hit determination of the second special symbol. Further, the pachinko machine 50 according to the other embodiments does not have a probability changing function of ordinary symbols, and the winning probability of ordinary symbols is high.
Further, when the gaming state of the pachinko machine 50 of the other embodiment is the fourth specific state (low-probability gaming state and non-open extension state), if the normal symbol is won, the second opening pattern is selected and the normal electric role The winglets are opened for a short time based on the second opening pattern by the operation of the object, but even if the game ball enters the second starting opening 69, the fourth specific state (low probability game state and non-open extension) Since the long variation time (for example, 10 minutes) is selected as the variation time of the second special symbol when it is in the state), the second starting opening 69 in the fourth specific state (the low probability game state and the non-open extension state) Even if the player hits the game ball to the right with the aim of entering the game ball, the time efficiency becomes worse than playing the game with the game ball entering the first starting opening 11 in the fourth specific state. It is not in an advantageous state for the player.

In the pachinko machine 50 of another embodiment, when the big hit game is over, the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) or the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state) , Right-handed, the normal symbol operation gate 17 is passed and the ordinary symbol is won, the first opening pattern is selected, the wing piece provided in the second starting port 69 is the first by the operation of the ordinary electric auditors. It is possible to prevent the game ball that has been opened for a long time based on the opening pattern and has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 17 from spilling without entering the second starting port 69. In addition, when the game state of the pachinko machine 50 of the other embodiment is the open extension state, compared with the case where the game state is the non-open extension state, the variation time of the normal symbol and the start of the normal symbol hitting game The interval time and the end interval time of the normal symbol hit game are shortened. As a result, it is possible to narrow the interval from the closing of the opened blade to the next opening.
With the above configuration, in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), or in the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), a small hit in the second special symbols Even if it is determined that the small hit game is executed, since the wing piece provided in the second starting port 69 is often open, the game ball may enter the second starting port 69. Becomes higher, the possibility of reaching the position of the second special winning opening 91 becomes lower, and it becomes difficult for the game ball to enter the second special winning opening 91. Therefore, in the case of the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state) or the third specific state (low-probability game state and open extension state), small hit games are frequently generated to increase prize balls. It is difficult to go.

On the other hand, when the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) is transitioned to after the jackpot game is over, right-handing is performed and the ordinary symbol is passed through the ordinary symbol operation gate 17 to win the ordinary symbol. 2 opening pattern is selected, the wing piece provided in the second starting port 69 is opened for a short time based on the second opening pattern by the operation of the ordinary electric accessory, so the game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 17 The player often spills without entering the second starting port 69.
As a result, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), if the small hit is determined by the hit determination of the second special symbol and the small hit game is executed, the second start opening 69 is provided. Since the wing pieces are often in a closed state, there is a high possibility that the game ball will pass through the second starting opening 69 and reach the position of the second special winning opening 91. Will be easier to enter. Therefore, in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), it is possible to frequently generate a small hit game and increase prize balls.

  According to other embodiments, if the big hit in the winning judgment of the second special symbol in the first specific state (high-probability game state and open extension state), it shifts to the first specific state after the big hit game ends. Easy, if the big hit in the second special symbol in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state) is a big hit, it becomes easy to shift to the second specific state after the big hit game.

The symbol display device, a first special symbol display device for displaying a first special symbol showing the result of the determination of whether or not the game ball enters the first starting opening, and the game ball to the second starting opening A second special symbol display device that displays a second special symbol that shows the result of the winning / disapproval determination based on entering a ball. And a variation time determining means for determining the variation time of the special symbol, and the winning / judging determination means determines a big hit, and opens and closes the special winning opening when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed in the special symbol. A big hit game executing means for executing a big hit game, and a small hit by the hit determination means, and a small hit game for opening and closing the big winning opening when a small hit symbol is confirmed and displayed in the special symbol is executed. A small hit game executing means, a probability varying means for making it possible to improve the probability of being judged as a big hit by the hit determination means after the end of the big hit game compared to a normal game state, and after the end of the big hit game, the normal the open time of the electric combination thereof are changed to the open state, usually provided with, an open extension means for enabling extension than the time, the game area, by adjusting the radiation strength A first game area in which the game balls can be separated and a second game area are provided, and the game balls flowing down to the first game area enter the ball rather than the game balls flowing down the second game area. The first starting opening is arranged at an easy position, and the second starting opening is arranged at a position where the game ball flowing down to the second game area is easier to enter than the game ball flowing down to the first game area. However, the big winning opening is arranged at a position where the game ball that has flowed down without entering the second starting opening can enter, and one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is a special symbol. Even in the case of changing, in the ball game machine configured to be able to change the other special symbol, the probability of being determined as a small hit in the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening is the above. It is set to be higher than the probability of being lost due to the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening, and After the end of the winning game, the opening extension means and the probability varying means operate in a first specific state, or the opening extending means is inoperative and the probability varying means operates in a second specific state, and the opening is performed. During the operation of the extension means, the interval from the change of the open state of the ordinary electric accessory to the closed state to the change to the next open state is made shorter than that in the case where the open extension means is not operated. 1 an average variation time of the second special symbol in a particular state and a second specific state shorter than the average fluctuation time of the first special symbol, when before symbol of the first specific state, the second the probability of transition to the first specific state after completion of the jackpot gaming that is executed when the jackpot symbol in a special symbol has been determined display is higher than the probability that pre-symbol shifts to the second specific state, before symbol second In the specific state, the second characteristic Said at symbol big hit symbol is that as the probability of transition to the second specific state after the end of the jackpot gaming that is executed when it is determined the display is higher than the probability that pre SL moves to the first specific state Characterize.

The first starting opening according to claim 1 is arranged in the first game area.

The ball game machine is a big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed on the first special symbol, and a big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is fixedly displayed on the second special symbol. It may be a big hit game, which is more valuable to the player than the game.
According to such a ball game machine, when the probability variation means and the opening extension means are in operation, how to judge as a big hit by the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening Can be, or in the big hit determined by the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting port, which is the game performance such as which big hit can be judged, and the big hit pattern in the second special symbol Since the big hit game executed when the confirmation display is the first special symbol has a lower game value than the big hit game executed when the big hit symbol is confirmed displayed, the probability variation means is operating and the opening extension means is When not in operation, it can be divided into playability such as how much can be judged as a small hit before it is judged as a big hit by the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening. It will be possible.

Further, the ball game machine includes , as the special winning opening, a first special winning opening and a second special winning opening provided with a specific area, and the probability varying means is based on the entering of the specific area. , The probability of being judged as a big hit by the hit determination means after the end of the big hit game is improved, and the opening pattern of the second special winning opening is set based on the big hit symbol fixedly displayed in the special symbol. And a second opening pattern that makes it easy to enter the specific area and a second opening pattern that makes it difficult to enter the specific area as an opening pattern of the second special winning opening. And, the opening pattern setting means, the case where the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol is more than the case where the big hit symbol is definitely displayed with the second special symbol, 2 big prizes Probability of setting the first opening pattern as an open pattern may be as high.
According to such a ball game machine, the case where the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol is released during the big hit game than the case where the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the second special symbol. Since the probability that the first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second big winning opening is high, the probability that the probability varying means will continue to operate is high, and whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting opening will be judged as to whether or not the game is successful. It is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged even if the big hit determined in step 4 is not the big hit that does not shift to the second specific state after the big hit game is over.

Further, the ball game machine includes , as the special winning opening, a first special winning opening and a second special winning opening provided with a specific area, and the probability varying means is based on the entering of the specific area. , The probability of being judged as a big hit by the hit determination means after the end of the big hit game is improved, and the opening pattern of the second special winning opening is set based on the big hit symbol fixedly displayed in the special symbol. And a second opening pattern that makes it easy to enter the specific area and a second opening pattern that makes it difficult to enter the specific area as an opening pattern of the second special winning opening. And, the opening pattern setting means, the case where the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the second special symbol is more than the case where the big hit symbol is definitely displayed with the first special symbol, 2 big prizes Probability of setting the first opening pattern as an open pattern may be as high.
According to such a ball game machine, the case where the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the second special symbol is released during the big hit game than the case where the big hit symbol is confirmed and displayed with the first special symbol. Since the probability that the first opening pattern is set as the opening pattern of the second special winning opening is high, the probability that the probability varying means continues to operate is high, and it is possible to judge whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting opening. It is possible to motivate the player to play the game by giving the feeling that he / she wants to win the big hit that shifts to the second specific state after finishing the big hit game.

In addition, in such a ball game machine , the small hitting game is executed by the small hitting game execution device when the small hitting game is determined by the winning / disagreement judging device and the small hitting symbol is confirmed and displayed by the special symbol. Only one of the special winning opening and the second special winning opening is opened and closed.

In addition, the opening pattern of the second special winning opening of such a ball game machine is not limited to the first opening pattern and the second opening pattern, and may be configured to have other opening patterns. For example, it is conceivable to provide a third opening pattern that makes it more difficult to enter the specific area than the first opening pattern, but easier to enter the specific area than the second opening pattern.

The ball-shooting game machine, until it reaches the number of times the variable display of the special symbol in the operation of the probability change means predetermined said actuating of probability change means shall continue, the jackpot gaming The predetermined number of times when the probability varying means is activated after the end is determined to be a big hit by the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening, or to the second starting opening. The number of times may be the same regardless of whether or not it is determined to be a big hit in the hit determination based on the entry of the game ball.
According to such a ball game machine, the operation of the probability varying means continues until the number of times of variable display of the special symbol reaches a predetermined number of times, so in the case of the first specific state, the special symbol It is possible to exert a game property that a big hit can be drawn earlier before the number of times of variable display reaches a predetermined number, and in the second specific state, a small hit game is generated as often as possible. While the playability can be demonstrated whether the big hit can be drawn at a number close to the predetermined number of times of the variable display of the special symbol, whether the opening extension means operates after the end of the big hit game. It is possible to make a remarkable difference in playability depending on whether or not.

According to the ball-playing machine according to claim 1, when the big hit is determined by the hit determination of the second special symbol in the first specific state (high-probability game state and extended extension state), after the big-hit game ends, 1 It is easy to move to a specific state, and if it becomes a big hit in the second special symbol win / fail judgment in the second specific state (high-probability game state and non-open extension state), it shifts to the second specific state after the big hit game ends. that Do not as easy to.
